Generation of recombinant antibodies by mammalian expression system for detecting S-metolachlor in environmental waters.
Current immunoassays for herbicide detection are usually based on polyclonal or monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) raised in animals. The mammalian expression system allows the procurement of specific and highly sensitive antibodies, avoiding animal immunization. In this study, S-metolachlor-specific IgG vectors bearing either Thosea asigna virus 2A or internal ribosome entry site (S-T2A or S-IRES) and single-chain variable fragment (scFv) vectors were designed and expressed. The recombinant antibodies (RAbs) were characterized by indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (icELISA). The results showed that full-length RAbs exhibited significantly better performance than scFv, and both bicistronic vectors expressed antibodies of correct size, while RAb S-T2A elicited a higher yield than RAb S-IRES. Further analyses showed that RAb S-T2A and RAb S-IRES exhibited comparable reactivities and specificities to the parental MAb, with IC values of 3.44, 3.89 and 3.37Â ng/mL, respectively. Finally, MAb- and RAb-based icELISAs were established for the determination of S-metolachlor in environmental waters. The recoveries were in the range of 73.0-128.1%, and the coefficients of variation were mostly below 10%. This article describes the production of RAbs for S-metolachlor from mammalian cells for the first time and paves the way to develop RAb-based immunoassays for monitoring herbicide residues in the environment.Xiaoting Yu, Xu Zhang, Jingjing Xu, Pengyan Guo, Xiangmei Li, Hong Wang, Zhenlin Xu, Hongtao Lei, Xing Shen

The extracellular matrix proteins type I collagen, type III collagen, fibronectin, and laminin 421 stimulate migration of cancer cells.
For metastasis formation, individual cells from a primary tumor must migrate toward other tissues. The aim of this study was to determine if mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) from human bone marrow are able to emit signals that induce this migratory activity in cancer cells. We separated the supernatant of MSCs derived from human bone marrow by size-exclusion and ion-exchange chromatography and have subsequently studied the migratory behavior of the prostate cancer cell line PC3 and the breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 toward the respective fractions in a transwell migration assay. We identified the extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins type I collagen, type III collagen, fibronectin, and laminin 421 as potential drivers of cancer cell migration. These results could be reproduced using the corresponding isolated or recombinant ECM proteins. Knockdown of the gene encoding beta 1 integrin, an important cell surface receptor for fibronectin, has led to inhibition of cancer cell migration. This supports the hypothesis that beta 1 integrin signaling represents an initial event that leads to metastasis, and that signaling is triggered by binding of integrin heterodimers to ECM molecules. Further characterization of signaling factors and their respective receptors will have implications for anticancer drug development.Fabian Graf, Patrick Horn, Anthony D Ho, Michael Boutros, Christian Maercker

Novel variant fibrinogen γp.C352R produced hypodysfibrinogenemia leading to a bleeding episode and failure of infertility treatment.
We identified a patient with a novel heterozygous variant fibrinogen, γp.C352R (Niigata II; N-II), who had a bleeding episode and failed infertility treatment and was suspected to have hypodysfibrinogenemia based on low and discordant fibrinogen levels (functional assay 0.33 g/L, immunological assay 0.91 g/L). We analyzed the mechanism of this rare phenotype of a congenital fibrinogen disorder.Masahiro Yoda, Takahiro Kaido, Tomu Kamijo, Chiaki Taira, Yumiko Higuchi, Shinpei Arai, Nobuo Okumura

Disparate genetic variants associated with distinct components of cowpea resistance to the seed beetle Callosobruchus maculatus.
Polygenic genome-wide association mapping identified two regions of the cowpea genome associated with different components of resistance to its major post-harvest pest, the seed beetle Callosobruchus maculatus. Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) is an important grain and fodder crop in arid and semi-arid regions of Africa, Asia, and South America, where the cowpea seed beetle, Callosobruchus maculatus, is a serious post-harvest pest. Development of cultivars resistant to C. maculatus population growth in storage could increase grain yield and quality and reduce reliance on insecticides. Here, we use a MAGIC (multi-parent, advanced-generation intercross) population of cowpea consisting of 305 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) to identify genetic variants associated with resistance to seed beetles. Because inferences regarding the genetic basis of resistance may depend on the source of the pest or the assay protocol, we used two divergent geographic populations of C. maculatus and two complementary assays to measure several aspects of resistance. Using polygenic genome-wide association mapping models, we found that the cowpea RILs harbor substantial additive-genetic variation for most resistance measures. Variation in several components of resistance, including larval development time and survival, was largely explained by one or several linked loci on chromosome 5. A second region on chromosome 8 explained increased seed resistance via the induction of early-exiting larvae. Neither of these regions contained genes previously associated with resistance to insects that infest grain legumes. We found some evidence of gene-gene interactions affecting resistance, but epistasis did not contribute substantially to resistance variation in this mapping population. The combination of mostly high heritabilities and a relatively consistent and simple genetic architecture increases the feasibility of breeding for enhanced resistance to C. maculatus.Frank J Messina, Alexandra M Lish, Zachariah Gompert

Bioprocess Optimisation for High Cell Density Endoinulinase Production from Recombinant Aspergillus niger.
Endoinulinase gene was expressed in recombinant Aspergillus niger for selective and high-level expression using an exponential fed-batch fermentation. The effects of the growth rate (μ), glucose feed concentration, nitrogen concentration and fungal morphology on enzyme production were evaluated. A recombinant endoinulinase with a molecular weight of 66 kDa was secreted. Endoinulinase production was growth associated at μ> 0.04 h, which is characteristic of the constitutive gpd promoter used for the enzyme production. The highest volumetric activity (670 U/ml) was achieved at a growth rate of 93% of μ (0.07 h), while enzyme activity (506 U/ml) and biomass substrate yield (0.043 g/g) significantly decreased at low μ (0.04 h). Increasing the feed concentration resulted in high biomass concentrations and viscosity, which necessitated high agitation to enhance the mixing efficiency and oxygen. However, the high agitation and low DO levels (ca. 8% of saturation) led to pellet disruption and growth in dispersed morphology. Enzyme production profiles, product (Y) and biomass (Y) yield coefficients were not affected by feed concentration and morphological change. The gradual increase in the concentration of nitrogen sources showed that, a nitrogen limited culture was not suitable for endoinulinase production in recombinant A. niger. Moreover, the increase in enzyme volumetric activity was still directly related to an increase in biomass concentration. An increase in nitrogen concentration, from 3.8 to 12 g/L, resulted in volumetric activity increase from 393 to 670 U/ml, but the Y (10053 U/g) and Y (0.049 g/g) did not significantly change. The data demonstrated the potential of recombinant A. niger and high cell density fermentation for the development of large-scale endoinulinase production system.Pfariso Maumela, Shaunita Rose, Eugéne van Rensburg, Annie Fabian Abel Chimphango, Johann Ferdinand Görgens

Engineered bridge protein with dual affinity for bone morphogenetic protein-2 and collagen enhances bone regeneration for spinal fusion.
The revolutionizing efficacy of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein (rhBMP-2) for clinical spinal fusion is hindered by safety issues associated with the high dose required. However, it continues to be widely used, for example, in InFUSE Bone Graft (Medtronic). Here, we developed a translational protein engineering-based approach to reduce the dose and thereby improve the safety of rhBMP-2 delivered in a collagen sponge, as in InFUSE Bone Graft. We engineered a bridge protein with high affinity for rhBMP-2 and collagen that can be simply added to the product's formulation, demonstrating improved efficacy at low dose of rhBMP-2 in two mouse models of bone regeneration, including a newly developed spinal fusion model. Moreover, the bridge protein can control the retention of rhBMP-2 from endogenous collagenous extracellular matrix of tissue. Our approach may be generalizable to other growth factors and collagen-based materials, for use in many other applications in regenerative medicine.Priscilla S Briquez, Hsiu-Ming Tsai, Elyse A Watkins, Jeffrey A Hubbell
