Abstract

Procedimiento para la producción y purificación de somatostatina en células de Escherichia coli a partir de la expresión en las mismas del gen codificante clonado en el vector pGRV1. Mediante técnicas básicas de ingeniería genética se ha clonado el extremo N-terminal de la beta-galactosidasa de Kluyveromyces lactis en el plásmido comercial pET17xb, generando dos sitios de restricción únicos susceptibles de ser utilizados para la clonación de secuencias codificantes de péptidos, dando lugar al plásmido pGRV1. La secuencia codificante de la hormona somatostatina se ha obtenido mediante una amplificación en cadena de la polimerasa (PCR) utilizando oligonucleótidos solapantes, clonando posteriormente el gen en el plásmido pGRV1, para dar lugar al plásmido pSOMA. La cepa de Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) se transformó con el plásmido pSOMA dando lugar a la cepa CECT5840. Utilizando equipos de fermentación convencional se han obtenido cantidades suficientes de proteína de fusión, que tras su digestión con bromuro de cianógeno se han purificado cromatográficamente. El péptido obtenido muestra propiedades cromatográficas coincidentes con las de un patrón comercial.Procedure for the production and purification of somatostatin in Escherichia coli cells from the expression therein of the coding gene cloned in the vector pGRV1. Through basic genetic engineering techniques, the N-terminal end of the beta-galactosidase of Kluyveromyces lactis has been cloned in the commercial plasmid pET17xb, generating two unique restriction sites that can be used for cloning of peptide coding sequences, giving rise to plasmid pGRV1. The somatostatin hormone coding sequence has been obtained by polymerase chain amplification (PCR) using overlapping oligonucleotides, subsequently cloning the gene into plasmid pGRV1, to give rise to plasmid pSOMA. Escherichia coli strain BL21 (DE3) was transformed with plasmid pSOMA giving rise to strain CECT5840. Using conventional fermentation equipment, sufficient amounts of fusion protein have been obtained, which, after digestion with cyanogen bromide, have been chromatographically purified. The peptide obtained shows chromatographic properties coinciding with those of a commercial standard.

Sector de la técnicaTechnical sector

La presente invención se refiere al proceso de producción biológica y posterior purificación de una preparación para uso farmacéutico de somatostatina humana.The present invention relates to the process of biological production and subsequent purification of a preparation for pharmaceutical use of human somatostatin.

Estado de la técnicaState of the art

La somatostatina (factor inhibitorio de la liberación de somatotropina) es un tetradecapéptido aislado inicialmente a partir del hipotálamo ovino por su capacidad para inhibir la liberación de la hormona del crecimiento de las células pituitarias anteriores (Brazeau P, Vale W, Burgus R, Ling N, Butcher M, Rivier J, Guillemin R. Hypothalamic polypeptide that inhibits the secretion of immunoreactive pituitary growth hormone (Science 1973: 179, 77-9). Posteriormente se ha demostrado su existencia en otros tejidos donde posee funciones muy diversas, entre las que cabe citar la modulación de la actividad neuronal y la secreción endocrina y exocrina.Somatostatin (inhibitory factor of somatotropin release) is an isolated tetradecapeptide initially from the sheep hypothalamus because of its ability to inhibit the release of growth hormone from cells anterior pituitaries (Brazeau P, Vale W, Burgus R, Ling N, Butcher M, Rivier J, Guillemin R. Hypothalamic polypeptide that inhibits the secretion of immunoreactive pituitary growth hormone (Science 1973: 179, 77-9). It has subsequently proven its existence in other tissues where it has very various, including the modulation of the activity Neural and endocrine and exocrine secretion.

Los efectos fisiológicos de esta hormona pueden agruparse en cuatro grandes grupos. Por una parte, la somatostatina actúa sobre la glándula pituitaria inhibiendo la liberación de una variedad de hormonas como la hormona del crecimiento, prolactina, glucagón, insulina, gastrina y hormonas estimulantes del tiroides (Wass J.A., en Endocrinology, ed, DeGrott, L.J. 1989: 1, 152-166).The physiological effects of this hormone can group into four large groups. On the one hand, somatostatin acts on the pituitary gland inhibiting the release of a variety of hormones such as growth hormone, prolactin, glucagon, insulin, gastrin and thyroid stimulating hormones (Wass J.A., in Endocrinology, ed, DeGrott, L.J. 1989: 1, 152-166).

Además, estudios farmacológicos han evidenciado que la somatostatina ejerce un efecto inhibitorio a nivel de la motilidad intestinal, secreción del ácido clorhídrico, pepsina y liberación de gastrina, secreción pancreática exocrina, liberación estimulada de secretina y CCK-pancreocimina, secreción basal y estimulada de glucagón e insulina. Esta diversidad de propiedades ha sido objeto de estudio de aplicaciones terapéuticas y se han obtenido resultados positivos en el control de las hemorragias gastrointestinales por ruptura de varices esofágicas, complementando a otras medidas (escleroterapia, cirugía, etc) (Reynaert, H. and Geerts, A. Pharmacological rationale for the use of somatostatin and analogues in portal hypertension. Aliment. Pharmacol. Ther. 2003: 18, 375-86).In addition, pharmacological studies have shown that somatostatin exerts an inhibitory effect at the level of intestinal motility, secretion of hydrochloric acid, pepsin and gastrin release, exocrine pancreatic secretion, release stimulated secretin and CCK-pancreocimine, basal and stimulated secretion of glucagon and insulin. This diversity of properties has been the subject of application study therapeutic and positive results have been obtained in the control of gastrointestinal bleeding due to varicose veins rupture esophageal, complementing other measures (sclerotherapy, surgery, etc.) (Reynaert, H. and Geerts, A. Pharmacological rationale  for the use of somatostatin and analogues in portal hypertension. Food. Pharmacol Ther. 2003: 18, 375-86).

Por otra parte, la somatostatina se utiliza como adyuvante en el tratamiento de las fistulas pancreáticas secretoras (inhibiendo la colecistoquinina y la secretina).On the other hand, somatostatin is used as adjuvant in the treatment of secretory pancreatic fistulas (inhibiting cholecystokinin and secretin).

No menos importante es la actividad neuromodulatoria dentro del sistema nervioso central, donde tiene un efecto múltiple sobre la transmisión neuronal.No less important is the activity neuromodulatory within the central nervous system, where it has a multiple effect on neuronal transmission.

En general, tanto la somatostatina como sus análogos se utilizan a nivel clínico para tratar varias neoplasias, así como aquellas enfermedades donde se requiera inhibir la secreción de la hormona del crecimiento (gigantismo y acromegalia).In general, both somatostatin and its analogs are used clinically to treat several neoplasms, as well as those diseases where it is required to inhibit the growth hormone secretion (gigantism and acromegaly).

Objeto de la invenciónObject of the invention

Se ha producido mediante técnicas de DNA recombinante un péptido de interés farmacológico (somatostatina) (Itakura, K, Hirose, T, Crea, R, Riggs, AD, Heyneker, HL, Bolivar, F, Boyer, HW. Expression in Escherichia coli of a chemically synthesized gene for the hormone somatostatin. Science 1977: 198, 1056-63). El gen que codifica dicho péptido se ha donado en un plásmido de expresión constitutiva diseñado a partir de un vector comercial, de manera que exprese una proteína híbrida. Esta proteína está formada por una secuencia polipeptídica de origen microbiano (\beta-galactosidasa de Kluyveromyces lactis) que representa la porción amino-terminal, y el péptido de interés farmacológico que representa la porción carboxi-terminal. Las dos porciones están separadas por una metionina.A peptide of pharmacological interest (somatostatin) (Itakura, K, Hirose, T, Crea, R, Riggs, AD, Heyneker, HL, Bolivar, F, Boyer, HW) has been produced by recombinant DNA techniques. Expression in Escherichia coli of a chemically synthesized gene for the hormone somatostatin. Science 1977: 198, 1056-63). The gene encoding said peptide has been donated in a constitutive expression plasmid designed from a commercial vector, so as to express a hybrid protein. This protein is formed by a polypeptide sequence of microbial origin (β-galactosidase of Kluyveromyces lactis ) that represents the amino-terminal portion, and the peptide of pharmacological interest that represents the carboxy-terminal portion. The two portions are separated by a methionine.

La separación de los dos péptidos que componen la proteína híbrida se produce mediante el tratamiento con bromuro de cianógeno (CNBr), un compuesto que escinde de forma específica una cadena polipeptídica con una alta especificidad al nivel del residuo de metionina, en presencia de ácido fórmico al 70% (Methods in Enzimology 1967: 11, 238).The separation of the two peptides that make up The hybrid protein is produced by bromide treatment cyanogen (CNBr), a compound that specifically cleaves a polypeptide chain with high specificity at the level of methionine residue, in the presence of 70% formic acid (Methods in Enzimology 1967: 11, 238).
