Cloning, expression and purification of the FGF1-FGF19 chimeric protein (abbreviated as FGF 1) by conventional means ΔHBS -FGF19 C -tail ). Briefly, a full length human wild type FGF1 (abbreviated FGF1 WT 1-155) into pET30a expression vector, and then introducing three mutations of Lys127Asp, lys128Gln and Lys133Val (i.e., encoding FGF 1) using QuikChange XL site-directed mutagenesis kit (Stratagene, la Jolla, calif.) ΔHS ) Then, a gene encoding the C-tail (position Gly142-Ser 182) portion of FGF19 was introduced to obtain a chimeric construct (the amino acid sequence of the chimeric protein encoded by the chimeric construct is shown in SEQ ID NO: 1), wherein if the N-terminal of the FGF1 mutant is reduced by 23 amino acids, the amino acid sequence of the C-tail chimeric construct with FGF19 is as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 2. The expression vector with chimeric construct was transformed into Escherichia coli BL (DE 3), cultured at 37℃when A 600 When 0.5 was reached, 1mM IPTG was added and the culture was continued for 4 hours. After the bacterial cells are lysed, the bacterial cells are purified by anion exchange chromatography columns (Source Q, GE Healthcare, piscataway, NJ) and gel exclusion chromatography columns (GEhealthcare, piscataway, NJ) in sequence to obtain pure productsFGF1 with a degree of > 98% ΔHBS -FGF19 C -tail (protein expressed by amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1), FGF1 ΔHBSΔΝΤ -FGF19 C-tail (protein expressed by the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2). Other control proteins can also be prepared in a similar manner.
2. Preparation of FGF1-FGF21 chimeric proteins
The preparation method of the FGF1-FGF21 chimeric protein is the same as that of the FGF1-FGF19 chimeric protein, and the FGF1 with the purity more than 98% can be obtained ΔHBS -FGF21 C-tail (protein expressed by amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3), FGF1 ΔHBSΔΝΤ -FGF21 C-tail (protein expressed by the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 4). Also, activity studies of FGF1-FGF21 chimeric proteins have been disclosed in patent application No. 201810234152.6.
3、FGF1 ΔHBS -FGF19 C-tail 、FGF1 ΔHBS -FGF21 C-tail Effects on db/db mice
Diabetes model (db/db) mice (C57 BLKS/J-lepr db/lepr db) and their control normal phenotype mice (db/m) were purchased from the university of Nanj model animal research center.
1. Effects on blood sugar
Diabetes model (db/db) mice were equally divided into four groups, one of which served as a control group of PBS, and the other three db/db mice were subcutaneously injected with FGF21, respectively WT 、FGF1 ΔHBS -FGF19 C-tail And FGF1 ΔHBS -FGF21 C-tail (0.5 mg/kg body weight), and the change in blood glucose level within 24 hours after a single injection was detected. The administration was then continued for 24 days, and the chronic hypoglycemic effect was observed daily.
As shown in fig. 2, it can be seen that the first FGF chimeric protein and the second FGF chimeric protein have better acute hypoglycemic activity in db/db diabetic mice than wild-type FGF21, and that the FGF1-FGF19 chimeric protein has the strongest acute hypoglycemic activity.
Chronic administration of FGF1-FGF19 chimeric protein reduced blood glucose to normal mouse levels in db/db mice without causing hypoglycemia as shown in figure 3, and long term administration did not affect ingestion of the mice as shown in figure 4, wherein both figures 3 and 4 increased normal mice as control (db/m).
As shown in FIG. 5, both the FGF1-FGF21 chimeric protein and the FGF1-FGF19 chimeric protein significantly improved glucose tolerance (IPGTT) in db/db mice.
4、FGF1 ΔHBS -FGF19 C-tail 、FGF1 ΔHBS -FGF21 C-tail Effects on db/db mouse liver
Five groups of mice, including normal group db/m, diabetes group db/db, FGF1 ΔHBS -FGF19 C-tail Group, FGF1 ΔHBS -FGF21 C-tail Group and FGF21 group, FGF1 ΔHBS -FGF19 C-tail Group, FGF1 ΔHBS -FGF21 C-tail Subcutaneous injection of FGF1 into group and FGF21 group respectively ΔHBS -FGF19 C-tail 、FGF1 ΔHBS -FGF21 C-tail And FGF21 WT (0.5 mg/kg body weight) five groups of mice were dissected, observed for tissue morphology, and HE stained, as shown in fig. 6 and 7, and both the tissue morphology and HE staining indicated that FGF1-FGF21 chimeric protein and FGF1-FGF19 chimeric protein significantly improved lipid accumulation in liver tissue of db/db mice, thereby producing anti-nonalcoholic fatty liver effects. The results of oil red staining and PAS staining of the tissues of the five groups of mice are shown in fig. 8, and further prove that the FGF1-FGF21 chimeric protein and the FGF1-FGF19 chimeric protein can remarkably improve lipid droplet accumulation in the liver tissues of db/db mice, thereby generating the anti-nonalcoholic fatty liver effect.
