Chemical analysis of acetylated bovine growth hormone, a growth-hormone inhibitor.

ABSTRACT: Purified bovine growth hormone was acetylated with acetic anhydride under various conditions. Acetylated bovine growth hormone prepared in anhydrous acetic anhydride at 43 degrees for 5min. inhibited the growth-promoting response of unmodified bovine growth hormone in hypophysectomized rats. This acetylated bovine growth hormone contained 18 total acetyl groups/mol., which included 12 N(in)-acetyl and 6-8 hydroxylamine-reactive acetyl groups (acetylated aliphatic hydroxy amino acids and 2-3 O-acetyltyrosine residues). Deacetylation of acetylated bovine growth hormone with hydroxylamine at pH9.5 destroyed its ability to inhibit the growth-promoting activity of bovine growth hormone.

UV photodegradation of murine growth hormone: chemical analysis and immunogenicity consequences.

Project description:During manufacturing, therapeutic proteins may be exposed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Such exposure is of concern because UV radiation may cause photooxidative damage to proteins, which in turn could lead to physical changes such as aggregation and enhanced immunogenicity. We exposed murine growth hormone (mGH) to controlled doses of UV radiation, and examined the resulting chemical, physical and immunogenic changes in the protein. mGH chemical structure was analyzed by mass spectrometry after UV irradiation. Photooxidation products detected by mass spectrometry included methionine sulfoxide formed at Met[127] and Met[149] residues, and, tentatively assigned by MS/MS analysis, ether cross-links between original Ser[78] and Cys[188], and Cys[206] and Ser[213], and a thioether cross-link between Cys[17] and Cys[78] residues, transformation of Cys[189] into Ala, and various hydrolytic fragments. Physical damage to UV-irradiated mGH was monitored by infrared spectrometry, chromatographic analyses, and particle counting by micro-flow imaging. UV radiation caused mGH to aggregate, forming insoluble microparticles containing mGH with non-native secondary structure. When administered subcutaneously to Balb/c or Nude Balb/c mice, UV-irradiated mGH provoked antibodies that cross-reacted with unmodified mGH in a fashion consistent with a T-cell dependent immune response. In wildtype Balb/c mice, titers for anti-mGH IgG1 antibodies increased with increasing UV radiation doses.

Plasma proteomic profiles of bovine growth hormone transgenic mice as they age.

Project description:Attenuation of the growth hormone (GH)/insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) axis results in extended lifespan in many organisms including mice. Conversely, GH transgenic mice have excess GH action and die prematurely. We have studied bovine (b) GH transgenic mice (n = 9) and their wild type (WT) littermates (n = 8) longitudinally and have determined several age-related changes. Compared to WT mice, bGH mice lost fat mass, became hypoglycemic and had lower insulin levels at older ages despite being hyperinsulinemic when young. To examine plasma protein differences in bGH mice relative to controls, samples at 2, 4, 8, 12 and 16 months of age were analyzed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis followed by identification using mass spectrometry. We found several differences in plasma proteins of bGH mice compared to controls, including increased apolipoprotein E (five isoforms), haptoglobin (four isoforms) and mannose-binding protein-C (one out of three isoforms), and decreased transthyretin (six isoforms). In addition, clusterin (two out of six isoforms) and haptoglobin (four isoforms) were up-regulated in bGH mice as a function of age. Finally, alpha-2 macroglobulin (seven isoforms) was altered in an isoform-specific manner with two isoforms increased and two decreased in bGH mouse plasma compared to controls. In conclusion, identification of these proteins suggests that bGH mice exhibit an increased inflammatory state with an adverse lipid profile, possibly contributing to their diminished life expectancy. Also, these newly discovered plasma proteins may be indicative or 'biomarkers' of a shortened lifespan.

The Promise and Challenges of Determining Recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone in Milk.

Project description:Recombinant bovine growth hormone (rbGH) is produced in large quantities and widely used in a number of countries worldwide to stimulate milk production in dairy animals. The use of this compound in animal production is strictly regulated by food safety directives in force, in particular in the European Union (EU). Although analytical strategies for the detection of rbGH in blood have been successfully reported over the past 15 years, they do not fully answer the expectations of either competent authorities or industrials that would expect measuring its occurrence directly in the milk. As a matrix of excretion but also of consumption, milk appears indeed as the matrix of choice for detecting the use of rbGH in dairy animals. It also allows large volumes to be collected without presenting an invasive character for the animal. However, rbGH detection in milk presents several challenges, mainly related to the sensitivity required for its detection in a complex biological matrix. This review article presents the specific difficulties associated with milk and provides an overview of the analytical strategies reported in the literature and whether they concern indirect or direct approaches to the detection of rbGH administration to animals, with applications either for screening or confirmation purposes.

Metabolic effects of the major component of bovine growth hormone.

Project description:Bovine growth hormone, subjected to DEAE-cellulose chromatography, yielded one major and several minor components. The various chromatographic fractions of bovine growth hormone were compared with the parent material for their ability to promote hormone effects in vivo and in vitro. The major component of bovine growth hormone was homogeneous by acrylamide-gel electrophoresis, rechromatography and sedimentation equilibrium. Its amino acid composition was similar to that of the parent hormone. The major component possessed all the qualitative activities present in the original heterogeneous material, including promotion of acute hypoglycaemia and hypolipaemia. In studies in vitro in adipose-tissue segments the major component of the hormone increased entry of glucose and its oxidation to CO(2), conversion of glucose into glyceride glycerol, release of glycerol and incorporation of histidine into adiposetissue protein. Other chromatographic fractions of bovine growth hormone were not homogeneous and possessed some but not all of the metabolic activities attributed to the hormone preparations or its major component. Thus, the metabolic effects obtained with bovine growth-hormone preparations in vivo and in vitro can be obtained with the major homogeneous component of the hormone. This observation precludes the possibility that the metabolic effects obtained with bovine growth-hormone preparations are due to the combined actions of a number of components found therein.

Identification of a juvenile-hormone signaling inhibitor via high-throughput screening of a chemical library.

Project description:Insecticide resistance has recently become a serious problem in the agricultural field. Development of insecticides with new mechanisms of action is essential to overcome this limitation. Juvenile hormone (JH) is an insect-specific hormone that plays key roles in maintaining the larval stage of insects. Hence, JH signaling pathway is considered a suitable target in the development of novel insecticides; however, only a few JH signaling inhibitors (JHSIs) have been reported, and no practical JHSIs have been developed. Here, we established a high-throughput screening (HTS) system for exploration of novel JHSIs using a Bombyx mori cell line (BmN_JF&AR cells) and carried out a large-scale screening in this cell line using a chemical library. The four-step HTS yielded 69 compounds as candidate JHSIs. Topical application of JHSI48 to B. mori larvae caused precocious metamorphosis. In ex vivo culture of the epidermis, JHSI48 suppressed the expression of the Krüppel homolog 1 gene, which is directly activated by JH-liganded receptor. Moreover, JHSI48 caused a parallel rightward shift in the JH response curve, suggesting that JHSI48 possesses a competitive antagonist-like activity. Thus, large-scale HTS using chemical libraries may have applications in development of future insecticides targeting the JH signaling pathway.

Molecular anatomy of the cytoplasmic domain of bovine growth hormone receptor, a quantitative trait locus.

Project description:Quantitative trait loci (QTL) studies have indicated growth hormone receptor (GHR) as a candidate gene affecting cattle milk yield and composition. In order to characterize genetic variation at GHR in cattle, we studied European and East African breeds with different histories of selection, and Bos grunniens, Ovis aries, Sus scrofa, Bison bison and Rangifer tarandus as references. We sequenced most of the cytoplasmic domain (900 bp of exon 10), 89 bp of exon 8, including the putative causative mutation for the QTL effect, and 390 bp of intron 8 for comparison. In the cytoplasmic domain, seven synonymous and seven non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) were identified in cattle. Three non-synonymous SNPs were found in sheep and one synonymous SNP in yak, while other studied species were monomorphic. Three major haplotypes were observed, one unique to African breeds, one unique to European breeds and one shared. Bison and yak haplotypes are derivatives of the European haplotype lineage. Most of the exon 10 non-synonymous cattle SNPs appear at phylogenetically highly conserved sites. The polymorphisms in exon 10 cluster around a ruminant-specific tyrosine residue, suggesting that this site may act as an additional signalling domain of GHR in ruminants. Alternative explanations for the persistent polymorphism include balancing selection, hitch-hiking, pleiotropic or sexually antagonistic fitness effects or relaxed functional constraints.
