Description

Method for refining urokinase
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of urokinase purification, and particularly relates to a urokinase refining method.
Background
Urokinase is a thrombolytic drug extracted from fresh human urine, is a serine protease produced by human renal tubular epithelial cells, is an alkaline protein, has an isoelectric point of about pH8.7, is white amorphous powder, and is easily soluble in water. The dilute solution is unstable in property, needs to be used fresh, and needs not to be diluted by an acid solution, and the freeze-dried state can be stable for years. Urokinase is a very specific proteolytic enzyme. The activity of the synthetic substrate is similar to that of trypsin and plasmin, and the synthetic substrate also has esterase activity, no antigenicity and no in vivo antibody production. The half-life period in vivo is (14 +/-6) min.
Urokinase activates plasminogen to active plasmin, which converts insoluble fibrin to soluble peptides, thereby dissolving the thrombus. Therefore, it is clinically used for treating thrombosis, thromboembolism and other diseases. When urokinase is combined with an anticancer agent, the urokinase can dissolve fibrin around cancer cells, so that the anticancer agent can penetrate into the cancer cells more effectively, thereby improving the capability of the anticancer agent in killing the cancer cells. Therefore, urokinase is also a good cancer adjuvant, and it has no problem of antigenicity and can be used for a long time.
D-160 adsorption resin is adopted in the past for refining urokinase, and the adsorption resin has the main problems of complicated treatment steps, large use of strong acid and strong base, high environmental protection pressure and great harm to working environment and people due to the use of large-volume strong acid.
Chinese patent application 200410018835.6 discloses a purification method of recombinant human prourokinase, comprising the following steps: A. recovering recombinant human prourokinase from the supernatant of the engineering cell culture by cation exchange Streamml ine-SP expanded bed chromatography; B. further purifying the crude urokinase product collected from A by Sephacryl S-200 gel chromatography; C. removing urokinase from the crude product by affinity chromatography using para aminobenzamidine-Sepharose Fast Flow; D. and (3) removing DNA of residual cells in the recombinant human prourokinase by using DEAE-Sepharose fast Flow anion exchange chromatography, and obtaining the recombinant human prourokinase meeting the SFDA requirement by adopting the method, wherein the total recovery rate is more than 70 percent, and the purity is more than 99 percent.
Chinese patent application 201711260186.4 discloses a four-step purification process of a new thrombolytic drug, recombinant human prourokinase, which comprises four steps of carboxymethyl radial ion exchange chromatography (CM-RIEC), microporous glass bead adsorption chromatography (MPG), dextran-polyacrylamide high performance gel chromatography (Sephacryl S-200HR) and formamidine affinity chromatography (PABZ), and is characterized in that the CM-radial ion exchange chromatography is matched with the combination of other three methods. After purification, the specific activity of prourokinase is increased by 280 times, the impurity protein can be removed by more than 98%, and the total recovery rate is up to more than 50%.
However, the methods all need the combination of gel chromatography and other chromatographic columns, and different chromatographic columns are used for multiple times, so that the complexity of the purification process is greatly improved.
Chinese patent application 201710311962.2 discloses a method for separating and purifying urokinase, which comprises the following steps: 1) preparing a crude urokinase product; 2) purifying urokinase; the step 2) comprises the following steps: purifying the clear liquid obtained by dissolving the crude urokinase prepared in the step 1) by a dextran microsphere column and/or an agarose microsphere column. The separation and purification method provided by the application can simultaneously improve the specific activity of the urokinase to more than 2 ten thousand IU/mg protein, the yield reaches 75-87%, and the proportion of the large and small molecular urokinase is more than 85%. The crude product prepared by the method is prepared by sequentially passing through a diatomite column and a CM-C column, the purity is improved to a certain extent, and the same effect cannot be obtained when the crude product is directly used for purifying a finished urokinase product in a purification step.
In view of the above, the invention provides a simple, safe and environment-friendly urokinase refining method, which has high purity, good recovery rate and wide application range, and meets the economic benefit requirement of mass production by optimizing various process parameters and only needing to pass through a gel chromatographic column once.
