Differences in N-glycosylation of recombinant human coagulation factor VII derived from BHK, CHO, and HEK293 cells.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND &Recombinant factor VII (rFVII), the precursor molecule for recombinant activated FVII (rFVIIa), is, due to its need for complex post translational modifications, produced in mammalian cells. To evaluate the suitability of a human cell line in order to produce rFVII with post-translational modifications as close as possible to pdFVII, we compared the biochemical properties of rFVII synthesized in human embryonic kidney-derived (HEK)293 cells (HEK293rFVII) with those of rFVII expressed in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO, CHOrFVII) and baby hamster kidney (BHK, BHKrFVII) cells, and also with those of plasma derived FVII (pdFVII), using various analytical methods. rFVII was purified from selected production clones derived from BHK, CHO, and HEK293 cells after stable transfection, and rFVII isolates were analyzed for protein activity, impurities and post-translational modifications. RESULTS &The analytical results showed no apparent gross differences between the various FVII proteins, except in their N-linked glycosylation pattern. Most N-glycans found on rFVII produced in HEK293 cells were not detected on rFVII from CHO and BHK cells, or, somewhat unexpectedly, on pdFVII; all other protein features were similar. HEK293rFVII glycans were mainly characterized by a higher structural variety and a lower degree of terminal sialylation, and a high amount of terminal N-acetyl galactosamines (GalNAc). All HEK293rFVII oligosaccharides contained one or more fucoses (Fuc), as well as hybrid and high mannose (Man) structures.From all rFVII isolates investigated, CHOrFVII contained the highest degree of sialylation and no terminal GalNAc, and CHO cells were therefore assumed to be the best option for the production of rFVII.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Factor VII (FVII) is a plasma glycoprotein that participates in the coagulation process leading to the generation of fibrin. The aim of this study was to construct, express and purify recombinant FVII fused to a polyhistidine (his) tag using Gateway technology. METHODS:To construct the entry clone, blunt-end FVII cDNA and subsequent polymerase chain reaction (PCR) product isolated from a HepG2 cell line was TOPO-cloned into a pENTR TOPO vector. To construct the expression clone, a LR recombination reaction was carried out between the entry clone and destination vector, pDEST26. Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells were transfected with 1 microg of DNA of PDEST26-FVII using the FuGENE HD transfection reagent. Two cell lines that permanently expressed recombinant FVII were established. The expression of recombinant FVII was confirmed by reverse transcriptase PCR and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Culture medium containing his-tagged FVII was added to the nickel-nitrilotriacetic acid resin column and bound protein was eluted. The purified protein was detected by sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and western blot analysis. The biological activity of the recombinant FVII was determined by a prothrombin time assay using FVII-depleted plasma. RESULTS:The results showed that human recombinant FVII was successfully cloned and the accuracy of the nucleotide sequence of the gene and its frame in the vector were confirmed by DNA sequencing. Stable clones transfected with the construct expressed FVII mRNA and related protein but no expression was detected in the CHO cells containing an empty vector. A protein of about 52 KDa was detected in SDS-PAGE and was further confirmed by western blot analysis. A three-fold decrease in clotting time was observed using this recombinant FVII. CONCLUSION:As far as we are aware, this is the first report of expression of recombinant FVII fused with a his-tag through Gateway technology. The next steps, including large scale expression, purification, activation and stabilisation, are underway.
