High level expression, efficient purification and bioactivity assay of recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor AA dimer (PDGF-AA) from methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris.
Platelet-derived growth factors (PDGFs) are important biochemical mediators regulating many physiological and pathophysiological processes, including promotion of the chemotactic recruitment and proliferation of cells involved in wound repair. Previously, homodimers of rhPDGF-AA protein were purified from Escherichia coli. However, eukaryotic proteins often contain posttranslational modifications, such as glycosylation, that are required for biological functions. In this study, an efficient method was established to purify a glycosylated rhPDGF-AA dimer from P. pastoris culture media by one step CM Sepharose ion exchange chromatography yielding about 20mg/L of over 95% highly purified rhPDGF-AA. Mass spectrometry analysis of the purified rhPDGF-AA displayed a molecular weight (MW) of 27,825.513Da, composed of a subunit with MW of 15,042.945Da and a subunit with MW of 12,904.374Da. The size difference is accounted for by differential glycosylation of the monomers. Biological activity of the rhPDGF-AA was confirmed by its ability to induce NIH/3T3 cells proliferation. The experimental procedure we have developed facilitates production of an active glycosylated rhPDGF-AA in large amounts for further research and drug development.Hongbo Li, Xiaoyan Hui, Song Yang, Xing Hu, Xiaofeng Tang, Peng Li, Shiwu Li, Lijun Yang, Shouguang Jin, Yu Wang, Aimin Xu, Donghai Wu

Expression of three recombinant homodimeric isoforms of PDGF in Saccharomyces cerevisiae: evidence for difference in receptor binding and functional activities.
Three recombinant homodimeric isoforms of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) were produced and purified in milligram quantities by expression of PDGF A- and B-chains in yeast cells. Structural analysis of the purified short and long variants of PDGF-AA (PDGF-AAS and PDGF-AAL) and PDGF-BB showed that they had been properly processed and assembled into dimers. PDGF-AAS and PDGF-AAL were found to bind only to the PDGF A-type receptor on human fibroblasts, with affinities of 0.1 and 0.2 nM, respectively. PDGF-BB bound to cells with A- and B-type receptors and to cells with B-type receptor only with affinities of 0.6 nM in both cases. Each fibroblast appeared to express about 4-5 times more B-type receptors than A-type receptors. The maximal mitogenic response to PDGF-BB of human fibroblasts was almost 2-fold higher than that induced by either of the two PDGF-AA forms. The three isoforms of PDGF also stimulated growth in soft agar of human fibroblasts with PDGF-BB inducing a higher maximal response.A Ostman, G Bäckström, N Fong, C Betsholtz, C Wernstedt, U Hellman, B Westermark, P Valenzuela, C H Heldin
