Abstract
Collagen, classically derived from animal tissue, is an all-important protein material widely used in biomedical materials, cosmetics, fodder, food, etc. The production of recombinant collagen through different biological expression systems using bioengineering techniques has attracted significant interest in consideration of increasing market demand and the process complexity of extraction. Green biomanufacturing of recombinant collagen has become one of the focus topics. While the bioproduction of recombinant collagens (type I, II, III, etc.) has been commercialized in recent years, the biosynthesis of recombinant collagen is extremely challenging due to protein immunogenicity, yield, degradation, and other issues. The rapid development of synthetic biology allows us to perform a heterologous expression of proteins in diverse expression systems, thus optimizing the production and bioactivities of recombinant collagen. This review describes the research progress in the bioproduction of recombinant collagen over the past two decades, focusing on different expression systems (prokaryotic organisms, yeasts, plants, insects, mammalian and human cells, etc.). We also discuss the challenges and future trends in developing market-competitive recombinant collagens.

Int J Biol Macromol 2022; 209:1656-1664. [PMID: 35460752 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2022.04.097] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2022] [Revised: 04/09/2022] [Accepted: 04/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Bombyx mori cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus (BmCPV) is a typical single-layer capsid dsRNA virus belonging to the Reoviridae family of the Cypovirus genus. Previous studies have shown that the BmCPV major capsid shell protein (CSP) has the ability to self-assemble into virus-like particles (VLPs), and cryo-electron microscopy of the BmCPV virions has revealed a tight mutual binding region between CSP and another capsid protein known as the Large Protrusion Protein (LPP), which further stabilizes the capsid shell. In this study, the multi-gene baculovirus expression system, Ac-MultiBac, was used to produce both solely CSP-based and CSP-LPP co-assembled VLPs. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results showed that addition of LPP did not affect the assembly of VLPs resulting in almost identical structure in both cases. However, ex vivo administration of VLPs to silkworm midgut tissue showed that CSP-based VLPs did not induce a significant transcriptional response in the innate immunity and RNAi gene cascades, compared to the co-assembled CSP-LPP based VLPs and the natural BmCPV virions isolated from polyhedra. The experimental results indicate that CSP and LPP attach tightly ("Plug and Display" model with CSP acting as "catcher" and LPP as "tag") to form VLPs that have a structure similar to that of the native CPV virions. Moreover, our results showed that the formation of VLPs with the two BmCPV capsid proteins is feasible, which can form the basis for the production of BmCPV-based VLPs as a new type of biological material to display exogenous proteins.

Abstract
Collagen type II is the major constituent of cartilage tissue. Yet, cartilage engineering approaches are primarily based on collagen type I devices that are associated with suboptimal functional therapeutic outcomes. Herein, we briefly describe cartilage's development and cellular and extracellular composition and organisation. We also provide an overview of collagen type II biosynthesis and purification protocols from tissues of terrestrial and marine species and recombinant systems. We then advocate the use of collagen type II as a building block in cartilage engineering approaches, based on safety, efficiency and efficacy data that have been derived over the years from numerous in vitro and in vivo studies.

Abstract
Hydrogels have been widely investigated in biomedical fields due to their similar physical and biochemical properties to the extracellular matrix (ECM). Collagen and hyaluronic acid (HA) are the main components of the ECM in many tissues. As a result, hydrogels prepared from collagen and HA hold inherent advantages in mimicking the structure and function of the native ECM. Numerous studies have focused on the development of collagen and HA hydrogels and their biomedical applications. In this extensive review, we provide a summary and analysis of the sources, features, and modifications of collagen and HA. Specifically, we highlight the fabrication, properties, and potential biomedical applications as well as promising commercialization of hydrogels based on these two natural polymers.

Abstract
Bombyx mori cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus (BmCPV) is a typical single-layer capsid dsRNA virus belonging to the genus Cypovirus in the family Reoviridae. The results of cryo-electron microscopy showed that the BmCPV capsid consists of 60 asymmetric units, and each asymmetric unit contains one turret protein (TP), two large protrusion proteins (LPP) and two capsid shell proteins (CSP). CSP has the ability to self-assemble into virus-like particles (VLPs), and the small protrusion domain (SPD) in CSP may play an essential role in the assembly of viral capsids. In this study, three critical amino acid sites, D828, S829 and V945, in the SPD were efficiently mutated (point mutation) based on the principle of PCR circular mutagenesis. Moreover, a multi-gene expression system, Ac-MultiBac baculovirus, was used to produce eight different recombinant VLPs in vitro. Transmission electron microscopy showed that the single site and double site mutations had little effect on the efficiency and morphology of the assembly of VLPs. Still, the simultaneous mutation of the three sites had a significant impact. The experimental results demonstrate that the SPD of CSP plays an essential role in assembly of the viral capsid, which lays the foundation for further analysis of the molecular and structural mechanism of BmCPV capsid assembly.

Abstract
Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is a major pathogen associated with swine diseases. It is the smallest single-stranded DNA virus, and its genome contains four major open reading frames (ORFs). ORF2 encodes the major structural protein Cap, which can self-assemble into virus-like particles (VLPs) in vitro and contains the primary antigenic determinants. In this study, we developed a high-efficiency method for obtaining VLPs and optimized the purification conditions. In this method, we expressed the protein Cap with a 6× His tag using baculovirus-infected silkworm larvae as well as the E. coli BL21(DE3) prokaryotic expression system. The PCV2 Cap proteins produced by the silkworm larvae and E. coli BL21(DE3) were purified. Cap proteins purified from silkworm larvae self-assembled into VLPs in vitro, while the Cap proteins purified from bacteria were unable to self-assemble. Transmission electron microscopy confirmed the self-assembly of VLPs. The immunogenicity of the VLPs produced using the baculovirus system was demonstrated using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Furthermore, the purification process was optimized. The results demonstrated that the expression system using baculovirus-infected silkworm larvae is a good choice for obtaining VLPs of PCV2 and has potential for the development of a low-cost and efficient vaccine.

Abstract
Type III interferon (IFN-λ) has recently been shown to exert a significant antiviral impact against viruses in vertebrates. Avian leukosis virus subgroup J (ALV-J), which causes tumor disease and immunosuppression in infected chicken, is a retrovirus that is difficult to prevent and control because of a lack of vaccines and drugs. Here, we obtained chicken IFN-λ (chIFN-λ) using a silkworm bioreactor and demonstrated that chIFN-λ has antiviral activity against ALV-J infection of both chicken embryo fibroblast cell line (DF1) and epithelial cell line (LMH). We found that chIFN-λ triggered higher levels of particular type III interferon-stimulated genes (type III ISGs) including myxovirus resistance protein (Mx), viperin (RSAD2), and interferon-inducible transmembrane protein 3 (IFITM3) in DF1 and LMH cells. Furthermore, over-expression of Mx, viperin, and IFITM3 could inhibit ALV-J infection in DF1 and LMH cells. Therefore, these results suggested that the anti-ALV-J function of chIFN-λ was specifically implemented by induction of expression of type III ISGs. Our data identified chIFN-λ as a critical antiviral agent of ALV-J infection and provides a potentially and attractive platform for the production of commercial chIFN-λ.

Abstract
Bombyx mori Nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV), which is a member of the Baculoviridae family, is a significant pathogen of the silkworm. The infection of BmNPV is often lethal and causes about 20% loss of cocoon in the silk industry annually. To explore the effects of different gene inhibition strategies on the replication cycle of baculovirus, we constructed the mutant virus to infect BmN cells directly and further identified ie0, ie1, and gp64 as the essential viral genes of BmNPV. To elucidate the significance of the inhibition effect of different interference strategies, we characterized and constructed the recombinant BmNPV that carried a single or multigene-interfering cassette. The results showed that the inhibition effect of dsie1 on target gene expression, virus titer, and silkworm mortality was significantly better than that of dsie0 and dsgp64. It also showed that the dsie1 interference produced fewer progeny virions and was less lethal, which indicates that ie1 played a more critical role in the BmNPV replication cycle. Furthermore, the inhibitory effect of the virus titer and mortality indicated that the multigene co-interference constructed by the baculovirus expression system was significantly better than the interference of any single-gene (p < 0.05). In summary, the strategy of multigene synergy can achieve the function of continuous interference and provide a new platform for the breeding of silkworm disease resistant. In addition, this strategy improves the various traits of the silkworm.

Expression of Clonorchis sinensis GIIIsPLA 2 protein in baculovirus-infected insect cells and its overexpression facilitating epithelial-mesenchymal transition in Huh7 cells via AKT pathway. Parasitol Res 2017; 116:1307-1316. [PMID: 28220242 DOI: 10.1007/s00436-017-5409-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2016] [Accepted: 02/12/2017] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
Although prior studies confirmed that group III secretory phospholipase A2 of Clonorchis sinensis (CsGIIIsPLA2) had stimulating effect on liver fibrosis by binding to LX-2 cells, large-scale expression of recombinant protein and its function in the progression of hepatoma are worth exploring. Because of high productivity and low lipopolysaccharides (LPS) in the Sf9-baculovirus expression system, we firstly used this system to express the coding region of CsGIIIsPLA2. The molecular weight of recombinant CsGIIIsPLA2 protein was about 34 kDa. Further investigation showed that most of the recombinant protein presented intracellular expression in Sf9 insect cell nucleus and could be detected only into cell debris, which made the protein purification and further functional study difficult. Therefore, to study the role of CsGIIIsPLA2 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression, CsGIIIsPLA2 overexpression Huh7 cell model was applied. Cell proliferation, migration, and the expression level of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related molecules (E-cadherin, N-cadherin, α-catenin, Vimentin, p300, Snail, and Slug) along with possible mechanism were measured. The results indicated that CsGIIIsPLA2 overexpression not only inhibited cell proliferation and promoted migration and EMT but also enhanced the phosphorylation of AKT in HCC cells. In conclusion, this study supported that CsGIIIsPLA2 overexpression suppressed cell proliferation and induced EMT through the AKT pathway.
