Abstract
- Abstract In the 22 member mammalian FGF family, FGF22 belongs to FGF7 subfamily, and its effects are largely confined to the brain and skin. To explore the functions of FGF22 on other tissues and develop a large-scale production of recombinant human FGF22 (rhFGF22) without a fusion tag, a plasmid encoding human FGF22 (pET3a-rhFGF22) was used to express rhFGF22 in E. coli BL21 (DE3) pLysS. A large amount of rhFGF22 inclusion body protein was obtained. A two-step denaturing method successfully solubilized rhFGF22, and it was refolded and then purified in one step via heparin affinity chromatography. A yield of 105 mg rhFGF22 with a purity of up to 95% was obtained from 100 g wet bacteria. It was found that the rhFGF22 had biological activity, since it effectively attenuated H 2 O 2 -induced human hepatic L02 cell death. Analysis by qRT-PCR and Western blot demonstrated that rhFGF22 protects L02 cells from H 2 O 2 -induced oxidative damage via suppression of mitochondrial apoptosis pathways. In conclusion, the strategy described in this paper may provide a novel means to solve the production of insoluble rhFGF22 and shine new light on its translational potential. Highlights • Develop the large-scale production technology of rhFGF22 without fusion tag in 30 L fermenter. • Two-step denaturing method was used to solublized inclusion body protein that difficult to be dissolved. • Inclusion body protein was efficiently refolded onto heparin column. • rhFGF22 protects hepatic L02 cells from H 2 O 2 -induced oxidative damage.
