Abstract
Targeted therapies using biopharmaceuticals are of growing clinical importance in disease treatment. Currently, there are several limitations of protein-based therapeutics (biologicals), including suboptimal biodistribution, lack of stability, and systemic side effects. A promising approach to overcoming these limitations could be a therapeutic cell-loaded 3D construct consisting of a suitable matrix component that harbors producer cells continuously secreting the biological of interest. Here, the recombinant spider silk proteins eADF4(C16), eADF4(C16)-RGD, and eADF4(C16)-RGE have been processed together with HEK293 producer cells stably secreting the highly traceable reporter biological TNFR2-Fc-GpL, a fusion protein consisting of the extracellular domain of TNFR2, the Fc domain of human IgG1, and the luciferase of Gaussia princeps as a reporter domain. eADF4(C16) and eADF4(C16)-RGD hydrogels provide structural and mechanical support, promote HEK293 cell growth, and allow fusion protein production by the latter. Bioink-captured HEK293 producer cells continuously release functional TNFR2-Fc-GpL over 14 days. Thus, the combination of biocompatible, printable spider silk bioinks with drug-producing cells is promising for generating implantable 3D constructs for continuous targeted therapy.

Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21186529.

Abstract
Insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs) are secreted proteins that play an important role in IGF regulation of growth and development of vertebrate and invertebrates. In this study, the IGFBP7 gene was cloned and characterized from mantle tissues of H. discus hannai, and designated as Hdh IGFBP7. The full-length cDNA sequence transcribed from the Hdh IGFBP7 gene was 1519-bp long with an open reading frame of 720-bp corresponding to a putative polypeptide of 239 amino acids. The molecular mass of its mature protein was approximately 23.44 KDa with an estimated isoelectric point (pI) of 5.35, and it shared significant homology with IGFBP7 gene of H. madaka. Hdh IGFBP7 has a characteristic IGFBP N-terminal domain (22–89 aa), a kazal-type serine proteinase inhibitor domain (77–128), and an immunoglobulin-like C2 domain (144–223). Furthermore, twelve cysteine residues and a signature motif of IGFBPs (XCGCCXXC) were found in its N-terminal domain. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that Hdh IGFBP7 was aligned with IGFBP7 of H. madaka. Tissue distribution analysis showed that the mRNA of Hdh IGFBP7 was expressed in all examined tissues, with the highest expression level observed in the mantle and gill tissues. The expression level of Hdh IGFBP7 mRNA was relatively higher at the juvenile stage during its metamorphosis period. In situ hybridization showed that Hdh IGFBP7 transcript was expressed in epithelial cells of the dorsal mantle pallial and mucus cells of the branchial epithelium in gill. These results provide basic information for future studies on the role of IGFBP7 in IGF regulation of shell growth, development and metamorphosis of abalone.

Sharker MR, Kim SC, Hossen S, Kho KH. Characterization of Insulin-Like Growth Factor Binding Protein-5 (IGFBP-5) Gene and Its Potential Roles in Ontogenesis in the Pacific Abalone, Haliotis discus hannai. BIOLOGY 2020; 9:biology9080216. [PMID: 32784850 PMCID: PMC7465962 DOI: 10.3390/biology9080216] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2020] [Revised: 08/06/2020] [Accepted: 08/07/2020] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
Insulin-like growth factor binding protein family is known to be involved in regulating biological actions of insulin-like growth factors (IGFs). In the present study, a full-length cDNA encoding the IGFBP-5 gene was cloned and characterized from the cerebral ganglion of Haliotis discus hannai. The 921-bp full-length sequence of Hdh IGFBP-5 cDNA transcript had an open reading frame of 411 bp encoding a predicted polypeptide of 136 amino acids, sharing high sequence identities with IGFBP-5 of H. diversicolor. The deduced Hdh IGFBP-5 protein contained a putative transmembrane domain (13-35 aa) in the N-terminal region. It also possessed a signature domain of IGFBP protein family (IB domain, 45-120 aa). Six cysteine residues (Cys-47, Cys-55, Cys-73, Cys-85, Cys-98, and Cys-118) in this cloned sequence could potentially form an intrachain disulfide bond. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that the Hdh IGFBP-5 gene was robustly clustered with IGFBP-5 of H. diversicolor. Tissue distribution analysis based on qPCR assay showed that Hdh IGFBP-5 was widely expressed in all examined tissues, with significantly (p < 0.05) higher expression in the cerebral ganglion. In male and female gametogenetic cycles, Hdh IGFBP-5 mRNA was expressed at all stages, showing significantly higher level at ripening stage. The expression level of Hdh IGFBP-5 mRNA was significantly higher in the polar body stage than in other ontogenic stages. In situ hybridization revealed that Hdh IGFBP-5 mRNA was present in the neurosecretory cells of the cerebral ganglion. This is the first study describing IGFBP-5 in H. discus hannai that might be synthesized in the neural ganglia. Our results demonstrate Hdh IGFBP-5 is involved in regulating ontogenic development and reproductive regulation of H. discus hannai.
