Definitions
- the present invention relates to thrombin, which belongs to the field of prescription drugs, and in particular, can be used as a hemostatic agent. More particularly, the present invention relates to a recombinant tombin prepared by making full use of genetic recombination technology and a method for producing the same.
- Thrombin is a trypsin-like serine protease that has an essential action for the maintenance and progression of life such as formation of hemostatic thrombus and wound healing. Thrombin includes meizothrombin, ⁇ -thrombin, 3-thrombin and ⁇ -thrombin, but physiologically Q! _Thrombin is important.
- Prothrombin a precursor of thrombin, is biosynthesized in hepatocytes in a vitamin K-dependent manner, and its blood concentration is 100-150 / ig / ml.
- Vitamin K-dependent coagulation factors have a Gla-containing region (Gla domain) at the N-terminus and have the property of binding to phospholipids via Ca 2+ ions. It has been shown that when this Gla domain binds to Ca 2+ , the conformational change of the whole protein occurs, and it exerts an important function that interacts with the capture factor.
- Prothrombin is activated by the FXa-FVa complex on the cell membrane phospholipid, and the Arg320-ILe321 bond of prothrombin undergoes limited degradation to form mesothrombin with a Gla domain-kringle domain. Next, the Arg271-Thr272 bond is limited to be degraded to produce monothrombin, which is released from the cell membrane, and to degrade a number of plasma proteins and various cell membrane tombin receptors to exhibit various physiological activities.
- One thrombin is a double-stranded molecule consisting of A and B chains, but when the B chain, which is important for enzyme activity, is further autolyzed, it becomes 3-thrombin, ⁇ -thrombin, and has the ability to activate fiprinogen and platelets lose.
- ⁇ -Thrombin is an enzyme that converts fiprinogen to fibrin, and also activates FXIII to crosslink fibrin. In addition, it has a coagulation-promoting function that activates FVIII and FV, which are trapping factors for FIX and FXa, respectively, to promote coagulation.
- FVIII and FV which are trapping factors for FIX and FXa, respectively, to promote coagulation.
- thrombin has a hemostatic effect It is an extremely useful protein as a hemostatic agent because it plays an important role in use.
- thrombin changes its substrate specificity when it binds to tocombomodulin on vascular endothelial cells, and promotes anticoagulation by activating protein C.
- thrombin By utilizing the enzymatic activity of thrombin, it is a useful protein that is also used as a process enzyme for producing activated protein C, an anticoagulant.
- ⁇ -thrombin not only strongly aggregates and activates platelets, but also has a mitogenic effect.
- a-thrombin has various physiological actions, and is therefore used as a reagent in various research fields, and its use is expected to increase further in the future.
- Thrombin having such a function has been widely used as a hemostatic agent, process enzyme and research reagent.
- thrombin derived from blood is applied endoscopically to the bleeding affected area or administered orally, and a hemostatic effect has been recognized.
- fibrin glue which is used as a tissue adhesive, contains thrombin derived from blood along with fibrinogen and FXIII factor.
- these thrombins are isolated from human blood or pomace blood, they are various factors that are thought to have an adverse effect on humans due to factors derived from the blood from which they are derived. Factor is included. For example, there is a danger that includes viruses that cause hepatitis such as HAV, HBV, HCV, HEV, and TTV, viruses that cause immunodeficiency such as HIV, and abnormal prions that cause CJD and the like. In fact, phytotoxicity caused by blood products containing these risk factors has become a major social problem. Furthermore, since blood derived from humans or pests is a biological material, there is no guarantee that the blood will always be supplied stably. This is a very important and serious problem, especially for pharmaceuticals, and it should be resolved as soon as possible.
- the conventional method is to activate prothrombin, a precursor of thrombin, with FXa derived from blood to produce thrombin. It uses the enzyme FXa derived from it. Even if the precursor to tombin is made by recombinant technology, it is not possible to escape the danger from blood components by using blood-derived FII as its activating enzyme. Furthermore, in order to produce FXa by recombinant technology, the precursor X must be produced by recombinant technology, and it must be activated and individualized by FIXa. In order to produce FIXa by recombinant technology, the precursor IX must be produced by recombinant technology and activated. Thus, unless the upstream enzyme involved in the cascade reaction of the coagulation reaction is retroactively produced by recombinant technology, it is not possible to obtain tombin which eliminates the danger of blood.
- thrombin expressed in Escherichia coli forms an aggregate called an inclusion body and is difficult to recover.
- the efficiency of dissolving the aggregates and reconstituting them as functional proteins (refolding) is extremely low and has no industrial merit (J. Biol. Chem. 270, 163-169, 1995).
- the expression level of thrombin is low, so that it is not practical (Protein exp. Purif., 10, 214-225, 1997).
- the expressed thrombin is a precursor, so that an activating enzyme such as FXa must be used to activate it, but since these activating enzymes are not recombinant enzymes, Elimination of components has not yet been realized. Thus, it has been difficult to supply safe human thrombin stably and economically with the conventional technology.
- a plasmid was constructed in which the human thrombin precursor gene and its activating enzyme gene were linked downstream of the beta-actin promoter, which is a strong promoter, and those genes were introduced into animal cells to develop each high-expression system.
- FIG. 1 Purification of prethrombin-12 from the culture supernatant of prethrombin-12 produced SP20 No. The fraction at each step was subjected to SDS-PAGE and protein staining.
- Fig. 2 Ecarin-producing SP2 / 0
- the ecarin was purified from the culture supernatant, and the fraction in the final step of gel filtration was subjected to SDS-PAGE and protein staining.
- prothrombin is composed of Gla domain, Talingle domain, and Serimb mouth theasedomin. Post-translational modification occurs in Gla and Clingnoredmein, which may be the rate-limiting factor for protein production.
- a-thrombin consisting of A-chain and B-chain is an activator of the minimum size, so that single-chain protein consisting of this A-B chain A gene encoding a certain prethrombin 2 (hereinafter sometimes referred to as prethrombin) was used for expression.
- prethrombin prethrombin gene encoding a certain prethrombin 2
- cDNA was synthesized using type I mRNA isolated from human liver, and the PCR was used to amplify the prothrombin gene using a primer designed based on the sequence of the prothrombin gene. Further, the amplified prothrombin gene was amplified into type II to amplify the desired prethrombin-12 gene.
- the high expression vector using animal cells as a host, but as an optimal embodiment, the present inventors' existing expression plasmid pCAGG is used.
- a plasmid in which the above-described prethrombin gene was inserted into a vector obtained by further improving was constructed.
- As the leader sequence or the like used here a sequence derived from the original tombin gene or other genes can also be used. Structure
- Cultured cells derived from hamsters, mice, and humans can be widely used as the animal cells as the host used herein, and preferably, Chinese nomster ovary cells (CHO cells) and mouse serogels are used. Cells, BHK21 cells, 293 cells, COS cells and the like.
- the inventors of the present invention changed FXa, which has been conventionally used as an activator of tombin, to ecarin having a similar function, and more preferably, the ecarin as a recombinant ecarin, similar to the above-mentioned prethrombin. We succeeded in making it with our high expression system.
- Ecarin was isolated and purified from Ec-is car 7a "s (T. Morita et al .: J. Biochem. 83, 559-570, 1978). It is a protease from snake venom that can specifically activate prothrombin.
- the cDNA encoding ecarin has been cloned by S. Nishida et al. (Biochemistry, 34, 1771-1778, 1995) and its structure has been elucidated.This ecarin is a glycoprotein and the mature form is total amino acid. No. of residues 426, including Zn2 + chelate, disintegrin domain and Cys-rich domain, RVV-X
- Ecarin exerts the action of activating thrombin after its precursor is activated by a protease such as trypsin-plasmin. Therefore, the activity of thrombin requires a reaction from the ecarin precursor to trypsin and the like. The force of our technique is that this activity is not required in the purification process of the recombinant ecarin without using trypsin or the like. It was also possible to do dashi.
- the ecarin gene was amplified by PCR to construct a plasmid ligated to an expression vector derived from the chicken) 3-actin promoter-based expression plasmid pCAGG.
- the movement in which those plasmids were introduced The target cells could express a sufficient amount of the desired ecarin.
- animal cells used here similarly to the case of thrombin, hamster-derived, mouse-derived, human-derived cultured cells and the like can be widely used.
- the obtained culture supernatant was purified by ion exchange chromatography or gel filtration.
- ecarin could be separated as an activated protein without using an activating enzyme such as trypsin. That is, ecarin expressed in animal cells can be simultaneously purified and activated by the inventor of the present invention. It is thought that similar techniques and results can be achieved even with activating enzymes other than ecarin.
- the above-mentioned recombinant prethrombin is activated as a substrate, and then affinity chromatography with a hirudin peptide known to specifically react with thrombin.
- recombinant ⁇ -thrombin can be highly purified by column chromatography on which hirudin peptide is immobilized.
- a method for purifying thrombin a method combining other various chromatographies is also possible.
- the recombinant human thrombin prepared by the present inventors exists in nature. It can be said that the protein is very close to Hiichi Thrombin.

- elution was performed at a flow rate of 4 ral / min with a salt concentration gradient of 210 ml from OmM to lOOOOraM NaCl / 20 mM citrate (pH 5.0).
- the ecarin-eluting fraction was identified by Western plot using the anti-ecarin antibody obtained in Example 11, and after pooling, the buffer was added to a 20 raM sodium bicarbonate (pH 9.0) buffer containing 50 mM NaCl. Dialysis was performed.
- the dialyzed product obtained by the cation exchange chromatography in 1) was applied to a sulfated cell mouth fine (2 ml: Seikagaku Corporation) column equilibrated with a 20 mM sodium hydrogen carbonate buffer (pH 9.0) containing 50 mM NaCl. It was applied at a flow rate of 0.5 rnl / min. After washing the column with 11 ⁇ 21 of the above buffer, elution was performed at a flow rate of 0.5 ral / rain with a 20 ml salt gradient of 50 raM to 600 mM NaCl / 20 raM sodium bicarbonate (pH 9.0). Using a part of the fraction, ecarin-eluted fractions were identified by Western blot using the anti-ecarin antibody obtained in Example 11, and then pooled.
- the fraction containing the recombinant ecarin obtained by the chromatography method shown in 2) was gel-filtered by equilibration with 10 mM phosphate (pH 7.0) buffer containing 100 mM NaCl.
- the solution was applied to HiLoad 16/60 (Pharmacia) and fractionated at a flow rate of 0.5 ml / min.
- a marker for Bio-Rad genole filtration was used.
- Fig. 3 shows a pattern stained with Coomassie brilliant pull after performing SDS-PAGE in the presence of (Fig. 2).
- thrombin and ecarin activities measured in the above Examples were based on the following description.
- Thrombin activity was measured by the following method.
- the activity of ecarin was measured by the following method.
- ecarin derived from snake venom commercially available from Sigma was diluted with Buffer I to prepare 25 mU / ml, 12.5, 6.25, and 3.125 mU / ml. 20 l of this standard solution was added instead of the sample (trypsin solution was not removed), and the subsequent operations of removing prothrombin were performed in the same manner as described above.
- the expression level of recombinant thrombin is about 25 / ig / tnl, This time, the expression system of thrombin constructed by the present invention, of about 150 ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ 1, It is an excellent expression system that greatly exceeds the conventional expression level.
- the present inventors have succeeded in producing recombinant ecarin as an activating enzyme, and thus have established a safe and excellent method for producing human thrombin excluding blood-derived components.
