Abstract

Rice cells were transformed to express human cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4-immunoglobulin (hCTLA4Ig) using RAmy3D promoter. hCTLA4Ig was produced and secreted into culture media inducibly when sugar was depleted. The obstacles of this system are the cell death and release of proteases by sugar starvation. These problems resulted in the losses of stability and productivity of hCTLA4Ig. Therefore, the effects of proline as an inhibitor of cell death were investigated. When 4 mM proline was added in sugar-free media, the cell death and release of proteases were reduced. As a consequence, the production of hCTLA4Ig was enhanced. In addition, the effects of protein stabilizers such as gelling agents were studied. It was found that the application of 0.01 g/L gelatin led to an increase in hCTLA4Ig production. This increase might be originated from the stabilization of hCTLA4Ig. In conclusion, the production of hCTLA4Ig could be enhanced by the additions of proline and gelatin in transgenic rice cell cultures.

본 연구에서는 형질전환된 벼 세포를 이용하여 자가면역 질환의 치료제인 human cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4-immunoglobulin (hCTLA4Ig)을 생산하였고, RAmy3D promoter와 RAmy1A signal pertide를 사용하여 당 고갈시에 목적 단백질의 발현과 배지로의 분비를 유도하였다. 이 시스템의 문제점은 당 고갈에 의해 목적 단백질의 생산이 유도되기 때문에 에너지원이 없어 세포의 사멸, 이로 인한 배지내로의 protease 분비를 유발하게 된다. 이것은 목적 단백질의 안정성 저해와 궁극적으로는 생산성의 손실을 일으킨다. 따라서 세포를 보호하여 사멸을 막는 효과가 있음이 보고된 proline을 첨가하여 생산성 증진 효과를 확인하고자 하였다. 4 mM의 proline을 첨가하여 배양하였을 때, 세포의 사멸 및 pretense의 분비를 줄일 수 있었고 이는 결과적으로 hCTLA4Ig의 생산성 증진으로 이어졌다. 또한 단백질 안정제를 통하여 배지내로 분비된 hCTLA4Ig의 안정화를 이루어 생산성을 높이고자 하였다. 0.01 g/L의 gelatin을 적용하여 생산성 증진 효과를 확인하였으며, 이는 hCTLA4Ig의 안정화에 의한 것임을 알 수 있었다. Pretense의 분비를 줄이기 위한 세포 보호와 pretense의 공격을 막기 위한 hCTLA4Ig 보호를 통하여 형질전환된 벼 세포를 이용한 hCTLA4Ig의 안정성 및 생산성을 증대시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다.
