Transgenic Silkworm-Based Silk Gland Bioreactor for Large Scale Production of Bioactive Human Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF-BB) in Silk Cocoons
Human platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) is a major therapeutic protein with great demand in the clinical setting; however, its rate of supply is far from meeting needs. Here, we provide an effective strategy to produce PDGF-BB in large quantities using a transgenic silkworm. The codon-optimized...

description | Human platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) is a major therapeutic protein with great demand in the clinical setting; however, its rate of supply is far from meeting needs. Here, we provide an effective strategy to produce PDGF-BB in large quantities using a transgenic silkworm. The codon-optimized PDGF-B gene regulated by the highly efficient sericin-1 expression system was integrated into the genome of a silkworm. The high transcriptional expression of the PDGF-BB gene in the transgenic silkworm competitively inhibited the transcription expression of the endogenous sericin-1 gene which caused a significant 37.5% decline. The PDGF-BB synthesized in the middle silk gland (MSG) of transgenic silkworms could form a homodimer through intermolecular disulfide bonds, which is then secreted into sericin lumen and finally, distributed in the sericin layer of the cocoon. In this study, a protein quantity of approximately 0.33 mg/g was found in the cocoon. Following a purification process, approximately 150.7 μg of recombinant PDGF-BB with a purity of 82% was purified from 1 g of cocoons. Furthermore, the bioactivity assays showed that the purified recombinant PDGF-BB was able to promote the growth, proliferation and migration of NIH/3T3 cells significantly. These results suggest that the silk gland bioreactor can produce active recombinant PDGF-BB as an efficient mitogen and wound healing agent. |
