Production of recombinant salmon insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1 subtypes
抄録
Insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I is a growth promoting hormone that exerts its actions through endocrine, paracrine and autocrine modes. Local IGF-I is essential for normal growth, whereas circulating IGF-I plays a crucial role in regulating the production and secretion of growth hormone (GH) by the pituitary gland. These actions of IGF-I are modulated by six insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs). In teleosts, two subtypes of each IGFBP are present due to an extra round of whole-genome duplication. IGFBP-1 is generally inhibitory to IGF-I action under catabolic conditions such as fasting and stress. In salmon, IGFBP-1a and -1b are two of three major circulating IGFBPs and assumed to affect growth through modulating IGF-I action. However, exact functions of salmon IGFBP-1 subtypes on growth regulation are not known due to the lack of purified or recombinant protein. We expressed recombinant salmon (rs) IGFBP-1a and -1b with a fusion protein (thioredoxin, Trx) and a His-tag using the pET-32a(+) vector expression system in Escherichia coli. Trx.His.rsIGFBP-1s were isolated by Ni-affinity chromatography, enzymatically cleaved by enterokinase to remove the fusion partners and further purified by reversed-phase HPLC. We next examined effects of rsIGFBP-1a and -1b in combination with human IGF-I on GH release from cultured masu salmon (Oncorhynchus masou) pituitary cells. Unexpectedly, IGF-I increased GH release and an addition of rsIGFBP-1a, but not rsIGFBP-1b, restored GH levels. The results suggest that IGFBP-1a can inhibit IGF-I action on the pituitary in masu salmon. Availability of recombinant salmon IGFBP-1s should facilitate further functional analyses and assay development.
