人骨形态发生蛋白-2的基因重组及其在大肠杆菌中的表达

目的用基因工程技术在大肠杆菌中表达人骨形态发生蛋白２（ｈＢＭＰ２）。方法将包含ｈＢＭＰ２部分前肽和成熟肽的３′端７３０ｂｐｃＤＮＡ片段,插入原核表达载体ｐｋｐＬ３ａ的多克隆位点,构建成ｐＫｐＬ３ａ／ｈＢＭＰ２重组表达载体,转化大肠杆菌ｐｏｐ２１３６,挑选阳性克隆,经诱导表达后用ＳＤＳＰＡＧＥ鉴定。结果该克隆表达的ｈＢＭＰ２为ＭＷ２７０００,表达量占菌体总蛋白１０％,部分纯化后植入大鼠股部肌肉,组织学观察到肌肉内大量间充质细胞增生及骨与软骨形成。结论说明重组ｈＢＭＰ２具有诱导异位骨与软骨形成的生物学功能。

Human bone morphogenetic protein-2: recombinant expression in E. coli

OBJECTIVE: To explore the way of producing human bone morphogenetic protein-2(hBMP-2) for bone healing by using the gene engeneering techniques. METHODS: hBMP-2 cDNA fragment, which consists of 3' end partial propeptide and mature peptide sequence, was inserted into the multiple cloning site of expression vector pkpL-3a via ligation. The recombinant plasmid pkpL-3a/hBMP-2 was transformed into E. coli pOp2136. By the method of restriction map, the positive expression clone was selected. SDS-PAGE analysis showed a new foreign protein band near 27,000 after induction. The yield of induced hBMP-2 accouned for 10% of the total bacterial proteins. RESULTS: The partial purified recombinant hBMP-2 was implanted into Wistar rat thigh. After 4 weeks, histological analysis showed that it induced the proliferation of mesenchymal type cells and formation of new cartilage and bone in the implantation area. CONCLUSION: The hBMP-2 produced by gene engeneering techniques has the biologic capacity of ectopic bone formation.
