摘要
In order to develop a suitable mammalian expression system for human insulin-like growth factors (hIGFs) and mutant IGFs, we have constructed several artificial IGF genes, based on a cDNA encoding the IGF-I precursor (153 amino acids). Transient expression experiments using mouse Ltk- cells revealed that the IGF-I gene constructs were efficiently expressed when placed under control of the SV40 Early promoter (SV40E). This resulted in the synthesis and secretion of IGF-I receptor-reactive products. Constructs encoding an IGF-I precursor with a truncated signal peptide of 25 amino acids under control of SV40E promoter or the inducible Drosophila heat shock hsp70 promoter, were used to establish stably transformed CHOdhfr- and mouse L cells. Clones secreting IGF-I were identified by an IGF-I-specific radioreceptor assay. Immunoblot analysis of conditioned media from these clones resulted in the specific precipitation of a protein of 7 kDa identical in size to native IGF-I purified from human serum. After optimization of the expression conditions, the stable cell lines secrete 0.5-2 μg/106 cells of IGF-I. The biological activity of the secreted recombinant IGF-I was shown by its ability to stimulate DNA synthesis in human MCF-7 cells. The results described in this paper indicate that a mammalian expression system, employing CHOdhfr- or L cells, is a useful system for the synthesis of biological active IGF-I. © 1990.
