Expression, purification and characterization of recombinant human type Ⅲ collagen / 国际生物医学工程杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To express and purify recombinant human collagen type Ⅲ and evaluate its properties.Methods:The recombinant genetic engineering strain pET30a(+)-1880/pACYCDuet-hy726/bL21(DE3) was constructed to stably co-express recombinant human type Ⅲ collagen (rhCol) and prolyl hydroxylase. rhCol was prepared and purified by E. coli high-density fermentation, salting out and column chromatography protein purification technology. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was used to determine the purity of rhCol. The N-terminal amino acid sequences of rhCol were determined by automatic protein polypeptide sequencing instrument. The hydroxyproline content of rhCol was determined by ultraviolet spectrophotometry. The cellular compatibility of rhCol was evaluated by MTT assay. Results:The final wet weight of high-density fermentation was about 200 g/L. The expression level was about 3 g/L. The purity of rhCol by affinity chromatography was over 95%. The results showed that the hydroxyproline content of rhCol was 11.44%, and the rhCol products have good water solubility and cell compatibility.Conclusions:RhCol can be widely applied to the field of skin care and biomedicine as an excellent biological material.
