assessment of selective toxicity of insect cell expressed recombinant a1-gmcsf protein toward gmcsf receptor bearing tumor cells
نویسندگان
چکیده
one of the emerging therapeutic strategies for targeted treatment of most cancers is the use of immunotoxins which are fusion proteins consisted of a targeting and a toxic moieties. we previously showed that the recombinant a254-gmcsf fusion protein selectively kills acute myeloblastic leukemia cells which harbor a large number of granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (gmcsf) receptors. since further in vitro and preclinical studies require large amounts of this fusion protein free from any troublesome material like lipopolysacharide, we selected the insect cell expression system. thus, the coding sequences of the a254-gmcsf and its truncated form, a247-gmcsf, were cloned and expressed by sf9 cells. subsequently, specific cytotoxicity of the purified proteins was evaluated on gmcsf receptor positive cell lines. sds-page and western blot analysis of the expressed a254gmcsf and a247gmcsf fragments revealed bands of about 60 kd which were larger than the theoretically predicted size of about 47 kd. deglycosylation analysis showed that these proteins are n-glycosylated by the insect cells. however, any other post-translation modification of the proteins by insect cells could be the reason for higher molecular weight of the fragments. cytotoxicity assays showed specific killing activity of these proteins on hl60 and u937 cell lines with ic 50 s ranging 2-2.5 µg/ml. these ic 50 values are much higher than those obtained from bacterially expressed a254-gmcsf (80 ng/ml) which could be due to any modification performed by insect cells on the fusion proteins.

Selective Inhibitory Effect of Adenosine A1 Receptor Agonists on the Proliferation of Human Tumor Cell Lines
Background: In this study, the effects of three structural analogues of adenosine upon proliferation of human tumor cells were investigated. Previous research showed a cytotoxic effect of adenosine via A3 receptor and A1 receptor and sometimes this effect was receptor independent. The researches showed a differential cytotoxic effect of adenosine and its A3 agonists on cancerous cells, while ot...

متن کاملSynergistic Effect of Expressed miR-128 and Puma protein on Targeted Induction of Tumor Cell Apoptosis
Background: Puma is a highly robust pro-apoptotic protein. The protein becomes activated by p53 ensuing beyond-repair DNA damage. Downregulation of SIRT 1, by miR-128, elevates activated p53 that foment Puma indirectly. Objectives: In the present study, we used two-expression Adeno-Associated Virus (AAV) system for co-expression of miR-128 and Puma in order to evaluate apoptotic response; both ...
متن کاملEffect of AcHERV-GmCSF as an Influenza Virus Vaccine Adjuvant
INTRODUCTION The first identification of swine-originated influenza A/CA/04/2009 (pH1N1) as the cause of an outbreak of human influenza accelerated efforts to develop vaccines to prevent and control influenza viruses. The current norm in many countries is to prepare influenza vaccines using cell-based or egg-based killed vaccines, but it is difficult to elicit a sufficient immune response using...

Genetic modifications of the oncolytic vaccinia virus (VV) improve selective tumor cell infection and death, as well as activation of antitumor immunity. We have engineered a double recombinant VV, coding human GM-CSF, and apoptosis-inducing protein apoptin (VV-GMCSF-Apo) for comparing with the earlier constructed double recombinant VV-GMCSF-Lact, coding another apoptosis-inducing protein, lact...
