Abstract
Infection by microsporidian Nosema bombycis induced appearance of exclusive protein conjugate of 190 kDa in hemocytes of silkworm Bombyx mori L (Lepidoptera: Bombycidae). Mass spectrometry of the band showed peptides of low molecular weight 30 kDa lipoprotein (LP30K). Six accessions of LP30K identified from the hemocytes comprised 30 K lipoprotein 1, 30 K protein 1, 2, 6, 7 and 11. Two uncharacterised proteins (UCP) identified from the hemocytes showed 100% similarity with LP30K sequence, altogether showed abundance after the infection. The LP30K accessions H9J4F6 (Q00802), E5EVW2 and the UCP accessions D4QGC0 and D4QGB9 showed presence of glucose binding protein I domain "ADSDVPNDILEEQLYNSIVVADYDSAVEK" that binds with fungal glucans to inhibit infection. However glucose binding protein II domain "TLAPRTDDVLAEQLYMSVVIGEYETAIAK" is absent in LP30K accessions from hemocytes showed loss of DNA sequences encoding the domain. The accessions H9J4F5, H9B440, A7LIK7 and H9B444 showed 92% identity with B. mori LP30K protein (NP_001095198.2) however the glucose binding domain I is absent in these accessions suggesting isoform- specific restricted fungal defense activity. Phylogeny tree of the LP30K homologues showed four groups including microvitellogenin and 30 kDa proteins showing functional diversity endorsed with evolutionary diversity. LP30K accessions with glucose binding domain diverged from that without glucose binding domain exemplify co-evolution for domain- dependent functional roles like storage and immune reactions.

Enhancement of Wound Healing Efficacy by Increasing the Stability and Skin-Penetrating Property of bFGF Using 30Kc19α-Based Fusion Protein. Adv Biol (Weinh) 2021; 5:e2000176. [PMID: 33724733 PMCID: PMC7996635 DOI: 10.1002/adbi.202000176] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2020] [Revised: 10/17/2020] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
The instability of recombinant basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) is a major disadvantage for its therapeutic use and means frequent applications to cells or tissues are required for sustained effects. Originating from silkworm hemolymph, 30Kc19α is a cell-penetrating protein that also has protein stabilization properties. Herein, it is investigated whether fusing 30Kc19α to bFGF can enhance the stability and skin penetration properties of bFGF, which may consequently increase its therapeutic efficacy. The fusion of 30Kc19α to bFGF protein increases protein stability, as confirmed by ELISA. 30Kc19α-bFGF also retains the biological activity of bFGF as it facilitates the migration and proliferation of fibroblasts and angiogenesis of endothelial cells. It is discovered that 30Kc19α can improve the transdermal delivery of a small molecular fluorophore through the skin of hairless mice. Importantly, it increases the accumulation of bFGF and further facilitates its translocation into the skin through follicular routes. Finally, when applied to a skin wound model in vivo, 30Kc19α-bFGF penetrates the dermis layer effectively, which promotes cell proliferation, tissue granulation, angiogenesis, and tissue remodeling. Consequently, the findings suggest that 30Kc19α improves the therapeutic functionalities of bFGF, and would be useful as a protein stabilizer and/or a delivery vehicle in therapeutic applications.

Abstract
Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) are a commonly used cell source for cell therapy and tissue engineering because of their easy accessibility and multipotency. Runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) is a master regulator of the osteogenic commitment of hMSCs. Either recombinant plasmid delivery or viral transduction has been utilized to activate RUNX2 gene expression for effective hMSC differentiation. In this study, recombinant RUNX2 fused with cell-penetrating 30Kc19α protein (30Kc19α-RUNX2) was delivered into hMSCs for osteogenic commitment. Fusion of recombinant RUNX2 with 30Kc19α resulted in successful delivery of the protein into cells and enhanced soluble expression of the protein. Intracellular delivery of the 30Kc19α-RUNX2 fusion protein enhanced the osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs in vitro. 30Kc19α-RUNX2 treatment resulted in increased ALP accumulation and elevated calcium deposition. Finally, implantation of hMSCs treated with 30Kc19α-RUNX2 showed osteogenesis via cell delivery into the subcutaneous tissue and bone regeneration in a cranial defect mouse model. Therefore, we suggest that 30Kc19α-RUNX2, an osteoinductive recombinant protein, is an efficient tool for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
The protein-stabilizing and cell-penetrating activities of Bombyx mori 30Kc19 α-helix domain (30Kc19α) are investigated. Recently, 30Kc19 protein has been studied extensively as it has both protein-stabilizing and cell-penetrating properties. However, it is unknown which part of 30Kc19 is responsible for those properties. 30Kc19 protein is composed of two distinct domains, an α-helix N-terminal domain (30Kc19α) and a β-trefoil C-terminal domain (30Kc19β). The authors construct and produce truncated forms of 30Kc19 to demonstrate their biological functions. Interestingly, 30Kc19α was shown to be responsible for both the protein-stabilizing and cell-penetrating properties of 30Kc19 protein. 30Kc19α shows even higher protein delivery activity than did whole 30Kc19 protein and has low cytotoxicity when added to cell culture medium. Therefore, based on its multifunctional properties, 30Kc19α can be developed as a novel candidate for a therapeutic protein carrier into various cells and tissues.

Abstract
Fabry disease is a genetic lysosomal storage disease caused by deficiency of α-galactosidase, the enzyme-degrading neutral glycosphingolipid that is transported to lysosome. Glycosphingolipid accumulation by this disease causes multi-organ dysfunction and premature death of the patient. Currently, enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) using recombinant α-galactosidase is the only treatment available for Fabry disease. To maximize the efficacy of treatment, enhancement of cellular delivery and enzyme stability is a challenge in ERT using α-galactosidase. In this study, protein nanoparticles using human serum albumin (HSA) and 30Kc19 protein, originating from silkworm, were used to enhance the delivery and intracellular α-galactosidase stability. 30Kc19-HSA nanoparticles loaded with the α-galactosidase were formed by desolvation method. 30Kc19-HSA nanoparticles had a uniform spherical shape and were well dispersed in cell culture media. 30Kc19-HSA nanoparticles had negligible toxicity to human cells. The nanoparticles exhibited enhanced cellular uptake and intracellular stability of delivered α-galactosidase in human foreskin fibroblast. Additionally, they showed enhanced globotriaosylceramide degradation in Fabry patients' fibroblasts. It is expected that 30Kc19-HSA protein nanoparticles could be used as an effective tool for efficient delivery and enhanced stability of drugs.

Abstract
It is well known that Phellinus linteus, which produces hispidin and its derivatives, possesses antioxidant activities. In this study, we investigated whether hispidin has protective effects on palmitate-induced oxidative stress in C2C12 skeletal muscle cells. Our results showed that palmitate treatment in C2C12 myotubes increased ROS generation and cell death as compared with the control. However, pretreatment of hispidin for 8 h improved the survival of C2C12 myotubes against palmitate-induced oxidative stress via inhibition of intracellular ROS production. Hispidin also inhibited palmitate-induced apoptotic nuclear condensation in C2C12 myotubes. In addition, we found that hispidin can suppress cleavage of caspase-3, expression of Bax, and NF-κB translocation. Therefore, these results suggest that hispidin is capable of protecting C2C12 myotubes against palmitate-induced oxidative stress.

Abstract
Recently, the recombinant 30Kc19 protein, originating from silkworm hemolymph of Bombyx mori has attracted attention due to its cell-penetrating property and potential application as a protein delivery system. However, this observation of penetration across cell membrane has raised questions concerning the interaction of the protein-lipid bilayer. Here, we report a dimerization propensity of the 30Kc19 protein in the presence of amphiphilic moieties; sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) or phospholipid. Native PAGE showed that the 30Kc19 monomer formed a dimer when SDS or phospholipid was present. In the glutathione-S-transferase (GST) pull-down assay, supplementation of the 30Kc19 protein to mammalian cell culture medium showed dimerization and penetration; due to phospholipids at the cell membrane, the main components of the lipid bilayer. Mutagenesis was performed, and penetration was observed by 30Kc19 C76A and not 30Kc19 C57A, which meant that the presence of cysteine at position 57 (Cys-57) is involved in dimerization of the 30Kc19 at the cell membrane during penetration. We anticipate application of the native 30Kc19 protein with high cell-penetrating efficiency for delivery of cargos to various cell types. The intracellular cargo delivery using the 30Kc19 protein is a non-virus derived (e.g. TAT) delivery method, which can open up new approaches for the delivery of therapeutics in bioindustries, such as pharma- and cosmeceuticals.

Abstract
An apoptosis-inhibiting component of silkworm hemolymph, isolated and characterized in our previous study, showed 95% N-terminal amino acid sequence homology with one of the 30K proteins, a group of structurally related proteins. The 30K protein was expressed in mammalian HEK293 cells and CHOK1 cells by transfection with 30Kc6. The expression of 30Kc6 inhibited apoptosis comparably to that of whole silkworm hemolymph, indicating that both intracellular expression and external supplementation inhibited apoptosis. The expression of 30Kc6 resulted in lower intracellular activity for caspase 3. However, the results of in vitro assay of caspase 3 show that the 30Kc6 protein does not inhibit caspase 3 activity. This indicates that the 30Kc6 protein inhibits the apoptosis by working in a further upstream event than caspase 3 activation.

Abstract
An olfactory receptor protein of C. elegans, ODR-10, was expressed in Escherichia coli as a fusion protein, with GST and 6x His-tag. The expression of the target protein was analyzed by SDS-PAGE and Western blot, and was confirmed to be expressed at the membrane fraction of the host E. coli. The surface of a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) was coated with crude membrane extracts, containing the expressed receptor protein, and the interaction between the olfactory receptor and various odorant molecules examined. Compared with other odorants, diacetyl (2,3-butanedione), known as a natural ligand for the ODR-10 receptor, interacted most strongly with the expressed protein. Various concentrations of diacetyl were applied to the expressed ODR-10 receptor, and the response of the QCM showed a linear relationship to the logarithmic value of the odorant concentration. This piezoelectric biosensor system, using olfactory receptor proteins expressed in E. coli, can be used in diagnostics, toxic chemical detection and the quality control of food.

Abstract
It was previously reported that silkworm hemolymph (SH) inhibits apoptosis and increases the production of recombinant human erythropoietin (EPO) in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. The apoptosis-inhibiting component in SH is a member of 30K protein family. In this study, the CHO cell line producing EPO was manipulated genetically to express the 30Kc6 gene encoding a 30K protein in the hemolymph of the silkworm, Bombyx mori. The transient expression of 30Kc6 significantly suppressed the cell death induced by serum deprivation. A stable cell line expressing 30Kc6 with an anti-apoptotic property was established. The stable expression of 30Kc6 inhibited serum-deprivation-induced apoptosis and increased the cell density and EPO titer by 5- and 10-fold, respectively. The positive effects of the 30Kc6 expression on cell viability and productivity were due to the stable maintenance of the mitochondrial activity. The 30Kc6 expression efficiently suppressed the depolarization of the mitochondrial membrane and subsequently balanced the generation/consumption of ATP. The use of the 30Kc6 gene is expected to provide a new method of host cell engineering for improving the productivity of the recombinant protein.

Abstract
Abstract
Controversy exists over the relationship between the cAMP and IP3 pathways in vertebrate olfactory signal transduction, as this process is known to occur by either of the two pathways. Recent studies have shown that a single olfactory neuron responds to both cAMP- and IP3-producing odorants, suggesting the existence of an olfactory receptor protein that can recognize both ligands. In this study we found that the rat olfactory receptor I7, stably expressed in HEK-293 cells, triggers the cAMP pathway upon stimulation by a specific odorant (octanal) at concentrations lower than 10-4 M; however, the receptor triggers both pathways at higher concentrations. This indicates that a single olfactory receptor, stimulated by a single pathway-inducing odorant, can evoke both pathways at high odorant concentrations. Using this heterologous system, both the dose-dependent response and receptor I7 specificity were analyzed. The dose-dependent Ca2+ response curve, which also includes the release of Ca2+ ions from internal stores at high odorant concentrations, was not monotonous, but had a local maximum and minimum with 10-10 and 10-7 M octanal, respectively, and reached a plateau at 10-2 M octanal. The specificity of the I7 receptor was lower when exposed to higher concentrations of odorants.

Abstract
An olfactory receptor protein of rats, I7, was expressed on the surface of human embryonic kidney (HEK)-293 cells. For targeting and detecting the protein, rho-tag import sequence was fused with the I7 protein. The olfactory receptor was expressed on the plasma membrane of HEK-293 cells, and stable cell lines regulated by an inducer were obtained. The expression on the cell surface was confirmed by immunocytochemical and Western blotting methods, and the binding of specific odorant molecules to the olfactory receptor was measured using quartz crystal microbalance (QCM). The results for QCM coated with cells containing the olfactory receptor showed that the expressed protein I7 strongly interacted with octyl aldehyde (octanal), which is an odorant specific to the I7 protein. Several other odorants were tested, and the results showed that I7 interacted differently with them. The QCM response to the serial concentrations of octyl aldehyde showed that the response is dose dependent. All these results indicate that the I7 receptor protein expressed on the surface of the heterologous cell system is sensitive to the specific odorant and can be used for the quantitative measurement of the odorant.

Abstract
To produce erythropoietin (EPO), Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells were first cultured in a medium containing FBS (growth medium) and then in a serum-free medium containing sodium butyrate (production medium). Sodium butyrate increases recombinant protein production, but also induces apoptosis, which reduces cell viability and productivity. In a previous study, we found that silkworm hemolymph (SH), an insect serum, inhibits the apoptosis of insect and mammalian cells. To overcome sodium butyrate-induced apoptosis, we added SH to growth medium. This pretreatment with SH inhibited the sodium butyrate-induced apoptosis of CHO cells and consequently increased their longevity and their ability to produce EPO. As a result, the volumetric productivity of EPO was increased five-fold. SH was found to inhibit cytochrome c release from mitochondria into the cytosol, and prevented the activation of caspase-3 and other subsequent caspase reactions.

Abstract
In a previous study, we reported that silkworm hemolymph inhibits apoptosis and that the anti-apoptotic component in silkworm hemolymph is a 30K protein. In this study, the 30K protein encoded by 30Kc6 was expressed in Escherichia coli. The recombinant 30K protein was expressed as an inclusion body, and the inclusion body was separated and refolded by affinity column chromatography using a 6xHis tag. We demonstrated that apoptosis is inhibited by supplementing the culture medium with this purified recombinant 30K protein. The recombinant 30K protein inhibited the virus- or chemical-induced apoptosis in human cells as well as insect cells. Apoptosis-inhibitory activity of recombinant 30K protein was comparable to that of whole silkworm hemolymph. The recombinant 30K protein can be effectively used to minimize cell death and consequently increase the productivity by extending the production time of host cells in commercial animal cell culture.
