Abstract
The increased prevalence of diabetes and the growing popularity of non-invasive methods of recombinant human insulin uptake, such as oral insulin, have increased insulin demand, further limiting the affordability of insulin. Over 40 years have passed since the development of engineered microorganisms that replaced the animal pancreas as the primary source of insulin. To stay ahead of the need for insulin in the present and the future, a few drawbacks with the existing expression systems need to be alleviated, including the inclusion body formation, the use of toxic inducers, and high process costs. To address these bottlenecks and improve insulin production, a variety of techniques are being used in bacteria, yeasts, transgenic plants and animals, mammalian cell lines, and cell-free expression systems. Different approaches for the production of insulin, including two-chain, proinsulin or mini-proinsulin, preproinsulin coupled with fusion protein, chaperone, signal peptide, and purification tags, are explored in upstream, whereas downstream processing takes into account the recovery of intact protein in its bioactive form and purity. This article focuses on the strategies used in the upstream and downstream phases of the bioprocess to produce recombinant human insulin. This review also covers a range of analytical methods and tools employed in investigating the genuity of recombinant human insulin.

Abstract
Introduction: In this review, the analysis of technologies for obtaining biologically active proteins from various sources is carried out, and the comparative analysis of technologies for creating producers of biologically active proteins is presented. Special attention is paid to genetically modified animals as bioreactors for the pharmaceutical industry of a new type. The necessity of improving the technology of development transgenic rabbit producers and creating a platform solution for the production of biological products is substantiated.
The advantages of using TrB for the production of recombinant proteins: The main advantages of using TrB are the low cost of obtaining valuable complex therapeutic human proteins in readily accessible fluids, their greater safety relative to proteins isolated directly from human blood, and the greater safety of the activity of the native protein.
The advantages of the mammary gland as a system for the expression of recombinant proteins: The mammary gland is the organ of choice for the expression of valuable recombinant proteins because milk is easy to collect in large volumes.
Methods for obtaining transgenic animals: The modern understanding of the regulation of gene expression and the discovery of new tools for gene editing can increase the efficiency of creating bioreactors for animals and help to obtain high concentrations of the target protein.
The advantages of using rabbits as bioreactors producing recombinant proteins in milk: The rabbit is a relatively small animal with a short duration of gestation, puberty and optimal size, capable of producing up to 5 liters of milk per year per female, receiving up to 300 grams of the target protein.

Abstract
Compared to cow milk, buffalo milk contains more protein, fat, and vitamin. Buffalo milk is an ideal food in human life. Sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1 (SREBP1), an important transcription factor, regulates the expression and activity of enzyme and protein involved in milk fat synthesis to influence on the synthesis and secretion of triglyceride in mammary epithelial cells. In the present study, we successfully isolated buffalo mammary epithelial cell by using enzymatic digestion, and then described the growth characteristics and expression characteristics of mammary epithelial cells. Moreover, we cloned the SREBP1 gene from total RNA isolated from milk fat globule and analyzed the function of the SREBP1 gene. After infected with shRNA-SREBP1 lentiviral particle and treated with fatty acid, the expression trend of ACACA, FABP3, FAS, SCD, ERK1, ERK2, PPARy, and Insigl genes was consistent with the expression trend of SREBP1 gene. These results suggested that SREBP1 gene is a central transcription factor in regulating milk fat synthesis and SREBP1 gene may act on ERK1/ERK2 signaling pathway to regulate the expression of PPARy gene. The current study will provide a theoretical basis for further reveal the molecular mechanism of milk fat synthesis in buffalo mammary epithelial cells. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: This study aim to separate and analysis characterization of mammary epithelial cell in buffalo. Compared to cow milk, buffalo milk contains more protein, fat, and vitamin. Buffalo milk is an ideal food in human life. This study will provide a theoretical basis for further research on the molecular mechanism of milk fat synthesis in buffalo mammary epithelial cells.

Comparative analysis of buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) non-transgenic and transgenic embryos containing human insulin gene, produced by SCNT. Theriogenology 2019; 135:25-32. [PMID: 31195358 DOI: 10.1016/j.theriogenology.2019.06.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2019] [Revised: 06/03/2019] [Accepted: 06/04/2019] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), using transgenic donor cells, is a highly efficient method for producing transgenic embryos. We compared the developmental competence, quality and gene expression of transgenic embryos produced by Hand-made cloning from buffalo fetal fibroblasts (BFFs) containing human insulin gene, with non-transgenic embryos produced from BFFs (Controls). The expression vector (pAcISUBC), constructed by inserting human insulin gene between DNA fragments containing mammary gland-specific buffalo β-lactoglobulin (buBLG) promoter and terminator buBLG 3'UTR regions into pAcGFP-N1 vector, was used for obtaining the 11 kb insert for transfection of BFFs by nucleofection. Presence of the transgene in embryos was confirmed by examining GFP expression by RT-PCR and immunofluorescence. The blastocyst rate was lower (P < 0.05) for transgenic embryos than for controls (35.7 ± 1.8% vs 48.7 ± 2.4%). The apoptotic index was higher (P < 0.05) for transgenic than for control blastocysts which, in turn, was higher (P < 0.05) than for IVF counterparts (6.9 ± 0.9, 3.8 ± 0.5 and 1.8 ± 0.3, respectively). The total cell number was similar for transgenic and non-transgenic blastocysts (143.2 ± 17.0 and 137.2 ± 7.6, respectively). The expression level of pro-apoptotic genes BAX and BID but not that of CASP3 and CASP9, and cell cycle check point control-related gene P53 was higher (P < 0.05), and that of development- (IGF-1R and G6PD) and pluripotency-related gene NANOG was lower (P < 0.05) in transgenic than in control embryos. The expression level of epigenetic-related genes DNMT1, DNMT3a and HDAC1 and pluripotency-related gene OCT4 was similar in the two groups. The expression level of BAX, BID, CASP9, P53, DNMT1 and DNMT3a was higher (P < 0.05) and that of OCT4, NANOG IGF-1R and G6PD was lower (P < 0.05) in cloned transgenic than in IVF blastocysts whereas, that of CASP3 and HDAC1 was similar between the two groups. In conclusion, these results suggest that transgenic embryos produced by SCNT have lower developmental competence and quality, and altered gene expression compared to non-transgenic embryos.

Abstract
The use of recombinant proteins has increased in diverse commercial sectors. Various systems for protein production have been used for the optimization of production and functional protein expression. The mammary gland is considered to be a very interesting system for the production of recombinant proteins due to its high level of expression and its ability to perform post-translational modifications. Cows produce large quantities of milk over a long period of lactation, and therefore this species is an important candidate for recombinant protein expression in milk. However, transgenic cows are more difficult to generate due to the inefficiency of transgenic methodologies, the long periods for transgene detection, recombinant protein expression and the fact that only a single calf is obtained at the end of each pregnancy. An increase in efficiency for transgenic methodologies for cattle is a big challenge to overcome. Promising methodologies have been proposed that can help to overcome this obstacle, enabling the use of transgenic cattle as bioreactors for protein production in milk for industry.
