Purification and Characterization of Recombinant Darbepoetin Alfa from Leishmania tarentolae. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • - Darbepoetin alfa is a biopharmaceutical used to treat anemia related to renal failure and cancer chemotherapy by stimulating red blood cell production (erythropoiesis).
  • - Researchers produced recombinant darbepoetin alfa using a specific strain of the organism Leishmania tarentolae, confirming successful integration of the DNA expression cassette and producing a protein with a strong biological activity.
  • - The structural analysis showed that this recombinant protein closely resembles the commercial drug Aranesp, indicating its potential for clinical applications.

Article Abstract

Darbepoetin alfa is a biopharmaceutical glycoprotein that stimulates erythropoiesis and is used to treat anemia, which associated with renal failure and cancer chemotherapy. We herein describe the structural characterization of recombinant darbepoetin alfa produced by Leishmania tarentolae T7-TR host. The DNA expression cassette was integrated into the L. tarentolae genome through homologous recombination. Transformed clones were selected by antibiotic resistance, diagnostic PCRs, and protein expression analysis. The structure of recombinant darbepoetin alfa was analyzed by isoelectric focusing, ultraviolet-visible spectrum, and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. Expression analysis showed the presence of a protein band at 40 kDa, and its expression level was 51.2 mg/ml of culture medium. Darbepoetin alfa have 5 isoforms with varying degree of sialylation. The UV absorption and CD spectra were analogous to original drug (Aranesp), which confirmed that the produced protein was darbepoetin alfa. Potency test results revealed that the purified protein was biologically active. In brief, the structural and biological characteristics of expressed darbepoetin alfa were very similar to Aranesp which has been normally expressed in CHO. Our data also suggest that produced protein has potential to be developed for clinical use.
