Clean and folded: Production of active, high quality recombinant human interferon-λ1.

ABSTRACT: Type III interferons exhibit antiviral activity against influenza viruses, coronaviruses, rotaviruses, and others. In addition, this type of interferon theoretically has therapeutic advantages, in comparison with type I interferons, due to its ability to activate a narrower group of genes in a relatively small group of target cells. Hence, it can elicit more targeted antiviral or immunomodulatory responses. Obtaining biologically-active interferon lambda (hIFN-λ₁) is fraught with difficulties at the stage of expression in soluble form or, in the case of expression in the form of inclusion bodies, at the stage of refolding. In this work, hIFN-λ₁ was expressed in the form of inclusion bodies, and a simple, effective refolding method was developed. Efficient and scalable methods for chromatographic purification of recombinant hIFN-λ₁ were also developed. High-yield, high-purity product was obtained through optimization of several processes including: recombinant protein expression; metal affinity chromatography; cation exchange chromatography; and an intermediate protein refolding stage. The obtained protein was shown to feature expected specific biological activity in line with published effects: induction of MxA gene expression in A549 cells and antiviral activity against influenza A virus.

Project description:Bone infection contributing to inflammatory osteolysis is common in orthopedic surgery. The dynamic balance between bone formation and bone resorption is destroyed due to excessive osteoclast fusion and differentiation, which results in severe bone matrix loss. Many therapeutic approaches that restrain osteoclast formation and function act as efficient ways to prevent inflammatory bone erosion. We have demonstrated for the first time that dendritic cells-derived interferon-λ1 (IFN-λ1) inhibited inflammatory bone destruction in vivo and explored its underlying mechanisms on osteoclast formation in vitro. We found that IFN-λ1 was highly expressed in infectious bone tissue compared with that of non-infectious bone tissue. Additionally, dendritic cells marker genes such as CD80, CD86, and CD1a were higher expressed in infectious bone tissue than that of non-infectious bone tissue. Dendritic cells that were pretreated with LPS showed high expression of IFN-λ1. Moreover, conditioned medium of LPS-pretreated dendritic cells significantly inhibited osteoclast differentiation, as determined by TRAP staining assay. This suppressive effect was reversed by adding an IFN-λ1 monoclonal antibody. It was also investigated whether exogenous IFN-λ1 restrained osteoclastogenesis, bone resorption, F-actin ring formation, osteoclast-specific gene expression, release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and translocation of p65 and NFATc1 by preventing the NF-κB signaling pathway and NLRP3 inflammasome formation, as well as by inducing the JAK-STAT signaling pathways in vitro. In vivo study indicated that IFN-λ1 prevents lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory bone destruction by inhibiting excessive osteoclast fusion and bone resorption activity. In conclusion, our findings confirmed that dendritic cells-derived IFN-λ1 could attenuate osteoclast formation and bone resorptive activity in vitro and in vivo. These novel findings pave the way for the use of exogenous IFN-λ1 as a potential therapeutic treatment for excessive osteoclast-related diseases, such as inflammatory osteolysis, by regulating osteoclastogenesis to maintain the dynamic balance between bone formation and bone resorption.
