Abstract
The human prolactin antagonist Δ1-11-G129R-hPRL is a 21.9 kDa recombinant protein with 188 amino acids that downregulates the proliferation of a variety of cells expressing prolactin receptors. Periplasmic expression of recombinant proteins in E. coli has been considered an option for obtaining a soluble and correctly folded protein, as an alternative to cytoplasmic production. The aim of this work was, therefore, to synthesize for the first time, the Δ1-11-G129R-hPRL antagonist, testing different activation temperatures and purifying it by classical chromatographic techniques. E. coli BL21(DE3) strain was transformed with a plasmid based on the pET25b( +) vector, DsbA signal sequence and the antagonist cDNA sequence. Different doses of IPTG were added, activating under different temperatures, and extracting the periplasmic fluid via osmotic shock. The best conditions were achieved by activating at 35 °C for 5 h using 0.4 mM IPTG, which gave a specific expression of 0.157 ± 0.015 μg/mL/A600 at a final optical density of 3.43 ± 0.13 A600. Purification was carried out by nickel-affinity chromatography followed by size-exclusion chromatography, quantification being performed via high-performance size-exclusion chromatography (HPSEC). The prolactin antagonist was characterized by SDS-PAGE, Western blotting, reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) and MALDI-TOF–MS. The final product presented > 95% purity and its antagonistic effects were evaluated in vitro in view of potential clinical applications, including inhibition of the proliferation of cancer cells overexpressing the prolactin receptor and specific antidiabetic properties, taking also advantage of the fact that this antagonist was obtained in a soluble and correctly folded form and without an initial methionine.

Abstract
The transition metal nickel is used in a wide variety of alloys and medical devices. Nickel can cause a range of toxicities from allergy in humans to tumors when implanted in animals. Several microarray studies have examined nickel toxicity, but so far none have comprehensively profiled expression over an extended period. In this work, male mice were implanted with a single nickel pellet in the muscle of the right leg with the left leg used as a control. At 3 week intervals up to 12 months, nickel concentrations in bioflulids and microarrays of surrounding tissue were used to track gene expression patterns. Pellet biocorrosion resulted in varying levels of systemic nickel over time, with peaks of 600 μg L-1 in serum, while global gene expression was cyclical in nature with immune related genes topping the list of overexpressed genes. IPA and KEGG pathway analyses was used to attribute overall biological function to changes in gene expression levels, supported by GO enrichment analysis. IPA pathways identified sirtuin, mitochondria, and oxidative phosphorylation as top pathways, based predominantly on downregulated genes, whereas immune processes were associated with upregulated genes. Top KEGG pathways identified were lysosome, osteoclast differentiation, and phasgosome. Both pathway approaches identified common immune responses, as well as hypoxia, toll like receptor, and matrix metalloproteinases. Overall, pathway analysis identified a negative impact on energy metabolism, and a positive impact on immune function, in particular the acute phase response. Inside the cell the impacts were on mitochondria and lysosome. New pathways and genes responsive to nickel were identified from the large dataset in this study which represents the first long-term analysis of the effects of chronic nickel exposure on global gene expression.

Abstract
Heterologous proteins are frequently purified by immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography (IMAC) based on their modification with a hexa-histidine affinity tag (His-tag). The terminal His-tag can, however, alter functional properties of the tagged protein. Numerous strategies for the tag removal have been developed including chemical treatment and insertion of protease target sequences in the protein sequence. Instead of using these approaches, we took an advantage of natural interaction of zinc finger domains with metal ions to purify functionally similar retroviral proteins from two different retroviruses. We found that these proteins exhibited significantly different affinities to the immobilized metal ions, despite that both contain the same type of zinc finger motif (i.e., CCHC). While zinc finger proteins may differ in biochemical properties, the multitude of IMAC platforms should allow relatively simple yet specific method for their isolation in native state.

Abstract
Hsp90 is a ubiquitous molecular chaperone that plays a key role in the malignant development of hormone-dependent pathologies such as cancer. An important role for Hsp90 is to facilitate the stable binding of steroid hormones to their respective receptors enabling the ligand-based signal to be carried to the nucleus and ultimately resulting in the up-regulation of gene expression. Along with Hsp90, this dynamic and transient process also involves the recruitment of additional proteins and co-chaperones that add further stability to the mature receptor-chaperone complex. In the work presented here, we describe four new protocols for the bacterial over-expression and column chromatographic purification of the human p23, FKBP52, HOP and SGTα proteins. Each of these proteins plays a distinct role in the steroid hormone receptor regulatory cycle. Affinity, ion-exchange and size-exclusion techniques were used to produce target yields greater than 50mg/L of cultured media, with each purified sample reaching near absolute sample homogeneity. These results reveal a reliable system for the production of p23, FKBP52, HOP and SGTα substrate proteins for use in the investigation of the Hsp90-associated protein interactions of the steroid hormone receptor cycle.

Abstract
S179D prolactin (S179D PRL) is a pseudophosphorylated form of human PRL which has potent antitumor and anti-angiogenic activities in vivo. This molecule binds to the same forms of the PRL receptor (PRLR) as unmodified PRL, yet this binding results in different intracellular signaling and biological end points. Since it is now clear that PRLRs are predimerized and therefore that ligand binding must initiate signaling by inducing a conformational change in the receptor dimer, we hypothesized that S179D PRL had an altered conformation compared to unmodified PRL. The conformation of the ligand-receptor ternary complex would therefore also have an altered conformation, and thus, different signaling molecules would be activated. Here we present evidence in support of this hypothesis by demonstrating, in contrast to unmodified PRL, that S179D PRL has reduced nickel and zinc binding capacity and a higher affinity for heparin and DEAE. Conformational changes have occurred since these features are counterintuitive on the basis of the simple substitution of a serine with a negatively charged aspartate residue. To demonstrate that these particular properties of S179D PRL were not due to misfolding of the molecule during production, S179D PRL was expressed in two different mammalian cell lines. Also investigated was the potential for production of S179D PRL as a soluble cytoplasmic, or secreted periplasmic, protein in Escherichia coli.

Abstract
The combined use of silica-based chromatographic supports with immobilized affinity ligands can be used in many preparative and analytical applications. One example is the use of silica-based affinity columns in HPLC, giving rise to a method known as high-performance affinity chromatography (HPAC). This review discusses the role that silica has played in the development of affinity chromatography and HPAC and the applications of silica in these methods. This includes a discussion of the types of ligands that have been employed with silica and the methods by which these ligands have been immobilized. Various formats have also been presented for the use of silica in affinity chromatographic methods, including assays involving direct or indirect analyte detection, on-line or off-line affinity extraction, and chiral separations. The use of silica-based affinity columns in studies of biological systems based on zonal elution and frontal analysis methods will also be considered.

Abstract
The synthesis, purification and characterization of G129R-hPRL and S179D-hPRL, the two better-studied antagonists of human prolactin (hPRL), is described. Both of these have been expressed for the first time, in their authentic form, by a stable CHO cell line, at secretion levels of 7.7 and 4.3 microg/10(6) cells/day, respectively. Previous studies had shown that these hPRL analogs, when produced in bacterial cytoplasm, consistently contained misfolded forms and multimers according to the specific denaturation, refolding and purification conditions. These versions also have an N-terminal extra methionine. An extensive physico-chemical characterization was carried out after a practical two-step purification process and included SDS-PAGE and Western blotting analysis, matrix-assisted laser-desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectral (MALDI-TOF-MS) analysis, high-performance size-exclusion chromatography (HPSEC) and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). This last technique revealed a considerable difference in hydrophobicity due to a single amino acid substitution, with S179D-hPRL less (t(RR) = 0.85 +/- 0.010) and G129R-hPRL more (t(RR) = 1.10 +/- 0.013) hydrophobic than hPRL, where t(RR) is the relative retention time. The biological characterization was based on further refinement of a sensitive proliferation assay using the pro-B murine cell line (Ba/F3) transfected with the long form hPRL receptor cDNA such that the minimal detectable dose was 0.04 ng of hPRL/mL, the Ba/F3-LLP assay. On the basis of this assay, the relative residual agonistic activity of these two products, determined against a hPRL international standard in four independent assays, was 53 x 10(-3) for S179D-hPRL and 70 x 10(-5) for G129R-hPRL. We believe that the present synthesis and characterization could be extremely helpful for studies of these two proteins, which have been reported to antagonize tumor growth-promoting effects of hPRL in vivo in animal models of breast and prostate cancer.

Abstract
Recombinant DNA-derived proteins and, in particular, human pituitary hormones, are increasingly used for research, diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. This trend has demanded new synthetic approaches and improved purification techniques. The type and sequence of the purification steps have to be selected in accordance with the cloning and protein expression strategy, the host organism and cellular localization of the protein of interest, with a view to producing the desired product at a required purity, biological activity and acceptable cost. This review article describes and analyzes the main synthetic and purification strategies that have been used for the production of recombinant human growth hormone, prolactin, thyrotropin, luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone, giving special consideration to the few published downstream processes utilized by the biotechnology industry. Practically all types of prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms utilized for this purpose are also reviewed.

Abstract
A reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) methodology for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of human thyrotropin (hTSH) in CHO cell conditioned medium and in purified preparations has been set up and validated for accuracy, precision and sensitivity. A recovery test indicated a bias of less than 2% and intra-day and inter-day quantitative determinations presented relative standard deviations (RSD) always <7%, while sensitivity was 0.2 microg (RSD=5.6%). The novel methodology was applied to the study of the best cultivation conditions and was able to detect a significant difference in retention time (t(R)) between pituitary and recombinant hTSH, probably reflecting the influence of the heterogeneity of the carbohydrate moiety on the hydrophobic properties of the molecule.

Abstract
Since immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography (IMAC) was first introduced, several variants of this method and many other metal affinity-based techniques have been devised. IMAC quickly established itself as a highly reliable purification procedure, showing rapid expansion in the number of preparative and analytical applications while not remaining confined to protein separation. It was soon applied to protein refolding (matrix-assisted refolding), evaluation of protein folding status, protein surface topography studies and biosensor development. In this review, applications in protein processing are described of IMAC as well as other metal affinity-based technologies.
