摘 要:
利用基因重组技术, 构建成人肝刺激因子(hHSS)和谷胱甘肽转移酶(GST)融合表达载体, 转化大肠杆菌BL-21 (DE3), His.Tag亲和层析纯化表达产物, Factor Xa切割分离hHSS单体, 并检测其生物学活性。 结果显示, pET-42a表达体系中hHSS以可溶性蛋白和包涵体两种形式存在, GST-hHSS表达量占菌体可溶性蛋白的30%; Factor Xa切割GSThHSS之间肽腱, 得到33 15 kD两条蛋白带, Western杂交证实33 kD条带为GST, 15 kD条带的分子量与hHSS基因序列推测蛋白结果相符。经His.Tag再次纯化可获得hHSS单体, 初步证实重组hHSS具有促进肝癌细胞增殖活性。

Abstract: 
To explore the possibility of prokaryotic expression of human hepatic stimulator substance (hHSS), hHSS gene was inserted in the downstream of glutathion S-transferase (GST) in a pET-42a expression vector and recombinant GST-hHSS fusion protein was expressed under IPTG induction in BL-21(DE3) cells. The recombinant HSS was purified with His.Tag affinity chromatography, and its bioactivity was analyzed. The results showed that GST-hHSS fusion protein was expressed both as a soluble or a  inclusive body in bacterial cytosol. The soluble GST-hHSS expression reached up to 30% of the whole soluble protein of bacteria as determined by densitometry. The cleavage of GST-hHSS fusion protein with Factor Xa produced two fragments of the protein, which sized  33  and 15 kD, respectively. The molecular weight of recombinant HSS protein was identical to theoretical deduction based on the DNA sequences. The protein homology of 15 kD hHSS could be efficiently eluted out after Factor Xa cleavage. It is further indicated that the recombinant hHSS is able to proliferate hepatoma cells of BEL-7402 in the  preliminary experiments.

Key words:
