Description

Recombinant ancrod enzyme, industrial scale preparation and purification method and composition thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a recombinant ancrod enzyme, a preparation method and application thereof, and a pharmaceutical composition containing the recombinant ancrod enzyme and the application thereof. More specifically, the invention relates to a method for preparing recombinant protein by adopting a genetic engineering technology and utilizing a mammalian CHO cell culture production method, and then through a purification process, the recombinant ancrod enzyme with high expression quantity can be easily obtained according to an industrial production specification, the yield can reach more than 200IU/ml of fermentation liquor per milliliter, and the specific activity can reach 1000 IU/mg. The recombinant ancrod enzyme obtained by the invention has more complex and complete glycosylation level, the stability is obviously enhanced, the problems of low expression level and difficult industrialization of the existing products are solved, and the invention also relates to the application of the recombinant ancrod enzyme in treating acute cerebral infarction.
Background
Ankeluose (Ancrod) is specifically selected from Malayan pit viper (Malayan pit viper, Callosesasmarshorostom)a) The specific action substrate of snake venom thrombin-like enzyme is fibrinogen, unlike thrombin, which cleaves only the α chain of fibrinogen but not the β chain, when it hydrolyzes Arg in the plasma fibrinogen α chain16the-GLy bond can release fibrinopeptide A, thereby rapidly converting fibrinogen in blood into fibrin, and since the thrombin-like enzyme of snake venom does not activate coagulation factor XIII, the generated fibrin monomer is not cross-linked to form a firm fibrin network structure, and is easily hydrolyzed by in vivo fibrinolytic enzyme, thereby inhibiting thrombosis, and having the effects of reducing blood viscosity, inhibiting erythrocyte agglutination and sedimentation, enhancing the vascular permeability and deformability of erythrocyte, reducing vascular resistance, and improving microcirculation. The thrombolytic effect is rapid, and the function of the ischemic part is recovered, thereby achieving the effects of treating and preventing relapse.
The snake venom thrombin-like enzyme preparations are marketed in the following varieties: ancrod (Ancrod, Viprinex, Arwin) from venom of Pallas pit Viper in Malaysia; batroxobin (Batroxobin) from venom of Bothrops moojeni (Bothrops moojeni); defibrase (Defibrase) derived from venom of Agkistrodon acutus (Agkistrodon acutus). In 1985 to 2000, multi-component preparations containing snake venom thrombin with different snake venom sources are circulated in China, and most of the preparations are named as pit viper antithrombotic enzymes. Since 1997, domestic defibrase replaced pit viper antithrombotic enzyme.
The natural snake venom thrombin is glycoprotein, and the glycosylation level is positively correlated with the specific activity and the activity stability.
Because the agkistrodon halys are listed in China as secondary endangered protected animals, the natural snake venom resources are extremely limited, so that the expression of the snake venom thrombin-like enzyme by adopting a genetic engineering technology has practical significance. The Japanese scholars successfully expressed batroxobin gene in Escherichia coli at the earliest time in 1987 (J.biol.chem.262: 3132-.
The Amino acid sequence of the natural Ancrod enzyme was reported in detail in its research paper by the American scholars William Burkhart et al (William Burkhart, et al, Amino acid sequence determination of isoccrod, the same-like alpha-fibrinogenase from the vehicle of Akistrodon rhotoma, Federation of European Biochemical Societies, 1992, Vol 297(3):297-301) as early as 1992, a glycoprotein containing 234 Amino acids. The 234 amino acid sequences of this protein are described in the William Burkhart reference and are included in the global protein resource library known in the art, http:// www.uniprot.org, see in particular the information described in the library website http:// www.uniprot.org/uniprot/P26324. The naturally occurring Ancrod consisting of 234 amino acids, which is purified from Akistrrodon rhodostoma venom, is extremely difficult to industrially produce on a stable scale the natural Ancrod to be used clinically successfully in a safe, effective and controllable form due to well-known factors such as the growth environment of the snake, age of the snake, season of virus collection, etc., which are related to the variation of snake venom raw materials, and the influence of impurities in the snake venom and the limitation of the yield of raw materials.
The applicant's published invention patent application 2018104523815 discloses stable methods for obtaining high expression levels of ancrod, particularly recombinant ancrod, on an industrial scale, however these methods are still subject to considerable improvement.
Therefore, there is still a need in the art for a method for producing ancrod enzymes, particularly a method for stably obtaining ancrod enzymes, particularly recombinant ancrod enzymes, in high expression levels on an industrial production scale.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide a recombinant ancrod enzyme, a preparation method and application thereof, in particular to a method for stably obtaining the recombinant ancrod enzyme with high expression quantity in industrial production scale. The recombinant protein has more complex and complete glycosylation level, and solves the problem that the existing products have low expression level and are difficult to industrialize. The invention also aims to provide the application of the recombinant ancrod enzyme in treating acute cerebral infarction. The recombinant ancrod enzyme has stronger in vitro activity and higher stability.
In a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a recombinant ancrod enzyme which is a single-chain of 234 amino acid residues, N-terminal and C-terminal amino acid residues of valine (V) and proline (P), respectively, having the following sequence:
VIGGDECNIN EHRFLVAVYE GTNWTFICGG VLIHPEWVIT AEHCARRRMN

MCHGLFRKMP KKGRVLCAGD LRGRRDSCNS DSGGPLICNE ELHGIVARGP
NPCAQPNKPA LYTSIYDYRD WVNNVIAGNA TCSP。
the recombinant ancrod enzyme is glycoprotein with the average molecular weight of 39-41 KDa, and comprises 5N-Link glycosylation binding sites which are respectively positioned at Asn23-Trp24-Thr25,Asn79-Lys80-Thr81,Asn99-Asn100-Ser101,Asn148-Phe149-Thr150And Asn229-Ala230-Thr231At asparagine residue, and the isoelectric point of the glycoprotein is 4.5-5.5.
The recombinant ancrod enzyme is glycoprotein with a molecular weight distribution range of 33-52 KDa.
The recombinant ancrod enzyme is a glycoprotein with a modified sugar content of 19-49%. As a result of detailed analysis, it has been known that modified saccharides attached to glycosylation sites include galactose, trehalose, sialic acid, and the like, and their bonding pattern on amino acid chains shows a multi-layered antenna-like structure.
The molecular weight of the single-chain ancrod enzyme consisting of 234 amino acid residues is 26570 Da; the recombinant ancrod glycoprotein prepared by the method is determined by a liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), and has an average molecular weight of 39-41 kDa and a molecular weight distribution range of 33-52 kDa (the distribution span reaches more than 17 kDa). In addition, the inventor refers to a method for obtaining natural ancrod glycoprotein shown in Lane 3 of A of William Burkhart document Fig.1, adopts rhodostomin malaysia as a raw material to obtain natural glycosylated protein, namely natural ancrod, and the average molecular weight of the natural ancrod glycoprotein is 37.5-38 kDa and the molecular weight distribution range is 32-41 kDa (the distribution span is about 9kDa) through the LC-MS method measurement/calculation of the invention; the reason for the difference between the results of the LC-MS measurements and those shown in the William Burkhart reference is the difference in the detection method employed, which is a relatively accurate result that can be achieved under the current technical conditions. Therefore, the recombinant ancrod glycoprotein prepared by the invention has the same single-chain of ancrod enzyme consisting of 234 amino acid residues as that of natural ancrod enzyme, but has more complex and complete glycosylation level (probably caused by different amounts of the accessed sugar and different structures/modes of accessing) due to different glycosylation modified sugar connected on the single-chain of amino acid residues, and can show remarkably enhanced stability and biological activity compared with the natural protein, so that the recombinant ancrod glycoprotein prepared by the invention is essentially completely different from the natural ancrod enzyme. The complexity and completeness of ancrod glycosylation can be reflected in the molecular weight and distribution of glycoproteins: the larger the molecular weight is, the higher the glycosylation degree is, the higher the complexity of glycosylation branches and side chains is, and the higher the stability and biological activity of the corresponding glycoprotein are; the higher stability of the glycoprotein enables the production of the glycoprotein in high yields and high expression levels on an industrial scale. In the present invention, the molecular weight concerned and parameters related thereto such as molecular weight distribution range, average molecular weight and the like are measured and calculated by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) or measured and calculated by mass spectrometry, unless otherwise specified.

Table 5: result of potency assay of recombinant ancrod enzyme stock solution
Batch number potency/(IU/mL)
20140509 362.11
20140521 271.29

Measurement of specific Activity: the protein content and the activity of the recombinant ancrod prepared from different batches in the embodiment of the invention are measured, the specific activity of glycoprotein is represented by IU/mg, and the result shows that the specific activity of the recombinant ancrod glycoprotein prepared by the invention reaches the range of high specific activity of 1135-1462 IU/mg; unfortunately, the specific activity of the native ancrod glycoprotein was similarly determined to be only 865 IU/mg. This difference in specific activity is probably due to the difference in the amino acid exo-chain modified sugars, and suggests that the more complex and intact the modified sugars are, the higher the activity of the glycoprotein.
And (3) stability investigation: in the embodiment of the invention, the recombinant ancrod enzymes (four batches in table 5) and the natural ancrod enzymes prepared in different batches are dissolved in a buffer solution with the pH value of 6.5, a protective agent is not added, and the buffer solution is placed under a refrigeration condition of 2-6 ℃ for 6 months, and the result shows that the in vitro activity of the recombinant ancrod enzymes under the stability investigation condition is not reduced basically, and the relative activity of the recombinant ancrod enzymes is 93-96% in 6 months compared with 0 month; surprisingly, the relative activity of native ancrod was only 61.5%, much lower than that of recombinant glycoproteins. The term "relative activity" refers to the percent of activity of a sample measured at 6 months divided by the activity measured at 0 months multiplied by 100%. This difference in stability may be due to the difference in modified sugars of the recombinant and native ancrod enzymes coat, and suggests that the more complex and intact the modified sugars are, the higher the stability of the glycoprotein.
