Definitions
- the invention relates to a new proinsulin glargine and a method for preparing insulin glargine, belonging to the technical field of recombinant protein preparation.
- Insulin is a hormone that regulates glucose metabolism in animals. This hormone is composed of two peptide chains, A chain and B chain. The A chain has 21 amino acids and the B chain has 30 amino acids, for a total of 51 amino acids. Among them, A 7 (Cys)-B 7 (Cys), A 20 (Cys)-B 19 (Cys) 4 cysteines form 2 disulfide bonds, connecting the A chain and the B chain. In the A chain there is an intrachain disulfide bond formed by A 6 (Cys) and A 11 (Cys). Diabetes is characterized by elevated blood sugar levels due to a lack of insulin, the only hormone in the body that lowers blood sugar, and/or increased hepatic glucose production.
- the overall goal of insulin analog development is to mimic physiological insulin secretion, thereby improving glycemic control in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes (Berger MA comment. Diabetes Res Clin Pract. 6:S25–S31, 1989; Sanlioglu AD et al., Clinical utility of insulin and insulin analogs. Islets 5(2):67-78, 2013).
- Recent insulin analogs include the addition or replacement of amino acid residues on the natural insulin molecule by genetic engineering or biochemical reactions, or modifications to other functional groups. These modifications alter the rate of bioavailability by altering the pharmacological, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic properties of insulin molecules, such as insulin aspart, glargine, lispro, and others.
- Insulin glargine (US Pat. No. 5,656,722) is a long-acting insulin analog.
- the substitution of glycine for aspartic acid at A 21 and the addition of two arginine residues to the C-terminus of the B-chain is to allow insulin glargine to form a precipitate (hexamer-microcrystal) upon injection.
- the isoelectric point of insulin glargine increases from pH 5.4 to pH 6.7, making the molecule water soluble at acidic pH, eventually leading to the slow dissociation of insulin glargine hexamers into monomers.
- insulin glargine In the neutral pH subcutaneous region, hexamer formation results in slow, non-peak dissolution and absorption of insulin from the injection site, providing a long duration of action that lasts 24-26 hours.
- the prolonged action of insulin glargine reduces the peak effect and reduces the risk of hypoglycemia.
- insulin glargine Compared with NPH neutral protamine zinc insulin, insulin glargine showed a lower incidence of severe hypoglycemia (Sanlioglu AD et al., Clinical utility of insulin and insulin analogs. Islets 5(2):67-78, 2013 ).
- Human insulin was the first protein-based drug produced by recombinant DNA technology. In 1978, human insulin was first successfully expressed in the laboratory; in 1982, recombinant human insulin was approved as a therapeutic drug.
- the precursor protein of recombinant human insulin is synthesized by genetically modified biosynthesis and cleaved by proteolysis to generate active insulin. Almost all insulin analogs on the market are genetically engineered from the human insulin gene and produced in E. coli or yeast.
- Patent CN103981242A relates to a method for producing insulin using copper/zinc superoxide dismutase SOD as a fusion peptide.

Description
本发明涉及一种新甘精胰岛素原及其制备甘精胰岛素的方法,属于重组蛋白制备技术领域。
胰岛素是一种调节动物体内葡萄糖代谢的激素。这种激素是由A链和B链2条肽链组成,A链有21个氨基酸和B链有30个氨基酸,共51个氨基酸。其中A
7(Cys)-B
7(Cys),A
20(Cys)-B
19(Cys)4个半胱氨酸形成2个二硫键,连接A链和B链。在A链中有A
6(Cys)和A
11(Cys)形成的链内二硫键。糖尿病的特点是由于胰岛素缺乏和/或肝葡萄糖产量的增加而导致血糖水平升高,胰岛素是机体内唯一降低血糖的激素。
胰岛素类似物发展的总体目标是模拟生理性的胰岛素分泌,从而改善1型和2型糖尿病患者的血糖控制(Berger M.A comment.Diabetes Res Clin Pract.6:S25–S31,1989;Sanlioglu AD等人,Clinical utility of insulin and insulin analogs.Islets 5(2):67-78,2013)。近期的胰岛素类似物(天然胰岛素的类似物)包括由基因工程或生物化学反应在天然胰岛素分子上额外附加氨基酸残基或者替换氨基酸残基,或对其他功能组的修饰。这些修饰通过改变胰岛素分子的药理学、药代动力学和药效动力学特性,改变了生物药效率的速度,如门冬胰岛素、甘精胰岛素、赖脯胰岛素等。甘精胰岛素(美国专利US5656722)是一种长效作用的胰岛素类似物。在A
21处用甘氨酸取代门冬氨酸,在B链的C末端添加两个精氨酸残基,是为了让甘精胰岛素在注射时形成沉淀物(六聚体-微晶体)。甘精胰岛素的等电点从pH5.4提高至pH6.7,使分子在酸性pH下是水溶性的,最终导致甘精胰岛素六聚体缓慢地解离成单体。在中性pH皮下区域,六聚体的形成导致胰岛素从注射部位缓慢,无峰值溶解和吸收,提供持续24-26小时长的持续作用时间。甘精胰岛素的延长作用降低了峰值效应,降低了低血糖的风险。与NPH中性精蛋白锌胰岛素相比,甘精胰岛素显示出较低的严重低血糖发生率(Sanlioglu AD et al.,Clinical utility of insulin and insulin analogs.Islets 5(2):67-78,2013)。
人胰岛素是重组DNA技术产生的第一个蛋白类药物。1978年,人胰岛素在实验室中首次成功表达;1982年,重组人胰岛素被批准作为治疗药物。重组人胰岛素的前体蛋白由遗传修饰的生物合成,并通过蛋白酶水解切割生成活性胰岛素。几乎所有在公开销售的胰岛素类似物都是用基因工程技术从胰岛素人类基因中改良出来的,并在大肠杆菌或酵母中产生。
对于使用转基因大肠杆菌的方法,有一种方法是在大肠杆菌中分别表达胰岛素的A链和 B链,然后在体外混合磺化的A链和B链形成链间二硫键(Rich,D.H.等人,Pierce Chemical Company,Rockford.Pp.721-728,1981.和Frank,B.H.等人,Pierce Chemical Company,Rockford.Pp.729-738,1981)。然而,该方法存在缺点,因为它需要两个单独的发酵过程并形成正确的二硫键。磺化的A链和B链之间形成的不正确的二硫键会导致胰岛素的低产率。
专利CN103981242A中涉及了一种使用铜/锌超氧化物歧化酶SOD作为融合肽生产胰岛素的方法。该融合肽由64个氨基酸组成,其中第一位氨基酸为Met,最后一位氨基酸为Arg;同时,融合肽链中的半胱氨酸残基均被丝氨酸残基取代。该专利中SOD融合肽片段的氨基酸序列如下所示:MATKAVSVLKGDGPVQGIINFEQKESNGPVKVWGSIKGLTEGLHGFHVHEFGDNTAGSTSAGPR(SEQ ID NO:1)。该SOD片段中有5个Lys残基,为胰蛋白酶的天然切割位点。在后续的酶切过程中,容易产生错切杂质,导致产率和纯度较低。
一种在C-肽区域中不具有保守的二元基氨基酸末端序列的胰岛素原的使用方法也被报道。例如,美国专利US6777207所涉及的胰岛素原肽结构体,它是由缩短的C-肽(长度不超过15个氨基酸残基)组成,其具有作为甘氨酸-精氨酸或甘氨酸-赖氨酸的两个末端氨基酸,其连接至A-羧基末端的链。与天然人胰岛素的全长30个氨基酸的B链相反,所述胰岛素原构建体含有29个氨基酸的B链。这种缩短的B链和缩短的C-肽在人胰岛素生产中的潜在影响尚不清楚,但是需要通过收率较低的转肽反应将B30位置的氨基酸连接上去。该专利中讲述的宿主细胞是酵母,没有证据表明该构建体可用于大肠杆菌。由于酵母表达体系的发酵周期较长会使其表达效率降低且成本升高,现在急需设计一种更高效和更完善的新型甘精胰岛素原的结构序列,以及由该结构序列制备甘精胰岛素的工艺,解决现有技术中存在的上述问题。
发明内容
本发明公开一种能够有效改善重组甘精胰岛素制备工艺的新甘精胰岛素原及其制备甘精胰岛素的方法。本发明设计的甘精胰岛素原的结构包括一个N末端融合肽序列(定点突变后的SOD)和具有A
21修饰的胰岛素A链以及含两个精氨酸残基的全长人胰岛素B链。与天然人胰岛素相比,甘精胰岛素A链的A
21位氨基酸用甘氨酸取代天冬酰胺,并且在B链的羧基末端添加两个精氨酸残基。所述甘精胰岛素原的结构采用“0C肽”策略,即B链和A链之间没有C肽序列。将该甘精胰岛素原在大肠杆菌中表达,再与融合肽一起在正确的复性条件下进行复性,再通过用胰蛋白酶酶切实现融合肽与甘精胰岛素分子的分离,从而得到甘精胰岛素。
本发明设计的甘精胰岛素原在有定点突变后的SOD片段融合肽存在的情况下,可以有效地折叠成其天然结构,提高甘精胰岛素的发酵产量。甘精胰岛素原在有合适的蛋白酶酶切位 点存在时,增加C肽序列可能会导致酶切后C肽残留,并影响纯化及收率。本发明中,新发明的甘精胰岛素原采用“0C肽”策略,可有效避免酶切后C肽的残留,并使酶切转化步骤中的质量损失最小化。

对比例6:复性、酶切转化和纯化
将对比例2制备的包涵体溶解液分别按照实施例5的条件进行复性。然后按照实施例6中的方法对复性后的样品进行修饰、酶切以及纯化。重组菌WCB01和对比例2的重组菌WCB02的样品纯化后的液相色谱图谱分别如图9A和图9B所示,相关数据分别如表10A和10B所示。结果显示,使用定点突变3个氨基酸的SOD片段作为融合肽以及采用“0C肽”策略的菌株(WCB01),可以获得99.93%的高主峰色谱纯度以及0.05%的最大单杂色谱纯度。与此同时,使用未突变的SOD片段作为融合肽的菌株(WCB02)的主峰和最大单杂的色谱纯度分别为92.25%和2.15%。使用突变的SOD片段以及采用“0C肽”策略,虽然主峰纯度提高了一点,但是最大单杂含量明显降低一个数量级,避免C-肽残基的残留,减少酶切转化的质量损失和错切杂质。

对比例7:利用猪胰蛋白酶的酶切转化
按照实施例4中的酶切方法利用猪胰蛋白酶对实施例3制备的WCB01复性后的溶液进行酶切转化。分别利用猪胰蛋白酶和牛胰蛋白酶的酶切转化的液相色谱图谱分别如图10A和图10B所示,相关数据分别如表11A和11B所示。图10A中出峰时间为20.447min的主峰面积为9569627mAU*min,图10B中出峰时间为20.730min的主峰面积为11142487mAU*min。结果显示,使用牛胰蛋白酶相对猪胰蛋白酶,酶切转化率可以提高16%;因为产物浓度与峰面积存在正比关系,转化率根据如下公式计算得到(11142487-9569627)/9569627=16%。
