YebF-IL10-flag

IL10 is a natural immunosuppressive protein. We add a flag tag for detection and a secretion tag to increase the extracellular concentration.

2019 NEU-CHINA

Characterization result 1

Secretory tag YebF was introduced to secret the protein, however we did not have time to show this tag really work last year. This time, western blotting was demonstrated to show the secretion of human IL-10. Expressing vector was constructed.

Figure 1. Diagram for  human IL-10 expressing and secreting in pCDFDuet-1 plasmid. T7 promoter, the gene downstream of this promoter will be transcribed when there is T7 RNA polymerase. LacO, the sequence represses the nearby promoter when there is no inducer (e.g. IPTG). RBS, ribosome biding site. Secretory tag YebF is introduced to secret protein downstream.

Figure 2. Protein expression of human IL-10 gene which transformed in BL21 strain. After induction of IPTG, we span down the cells, get them eliminated using filter. Secreted protein was collected from the medium by salting out with ammonium sulfate. The molecular weight of protein YebF-hIL-10 is around 35 kDa.

Protocol

1. Incubate the inoculum at 37℃ overnight.

2. Dilute the culture to OD600=0.2, followed by incubation at 37℃ for around 2 hours until the OD600=0.6.

3. Add IPTG at final concentration 1mM.

4. Incubate the culture overnight.

5. Remove cells by centrifugation at 5000rpm for 10min.

6. Remove cells by using filter.

7. Add saturated ammonia sulfate to the supernatant, and then agitate softly for 2 hours while sitting on ice.

8. Span the protein down by centrifugation at 13000rpm for 30min.

9. Resuspend the protein by cold water and remove any faults by filter.

10. Add Loading Buffer and then incubate the mixture at 98℃ for at least 10min.

11. Western blot.


Characterization result 2

To make sure that amplifier is able to strengthen the expression of gene downstream to promoter hrpL. A coomassie brilliant blue was demonstrated to show that more protein at 35kDA, which should be IL-10, was witnessed when introducing IL-10 gene downstream of promoter hrpL.

Figure 3. Diagram of expressing vector. HrpR and HrpS amplifier system is used as a booster to boost the expression level of gene downstream promoter hrpL. Protein HrpR and HrpS can bind together to induce the PhrpL which strengthen the expression of downstream gene YebF-IL10.

Figure 4. Protein expressing of human IL-10 gene which was transformed into BL21 strain. CFU was then inoculated to LB medium followed by 12h incubation at 37℃. After induction of IPTG, final concentration at 1mM, the culture was incubated at 37℃ for 2h. A coomassie brilliant blue was demonstrated to show the result. The red box shows where the target protein is.


Characterization result 3

In order to see whether the nitric oxide sensor will work when it comes to expressing a certain protein, we added the IL-10 downstream and demonstrated the western blotting to show the result. It has been proved that the expression level can be induced when adding nitric oxide.

Figure 6. Protein expressing of human il-10 gene which was transformed into BL21 strain and induced by nitric oxide. After induction of nitric oxide, the culture was incubated at 37℃ for 2 hours. Western blotting was demonstrated to show the expression level of hIL-10. In order to equate the total number of cells in each lane, dilution was made to keep each sample at the same OD600 and 10μL of each sample was uploaded to each lane.


Characterization result 4

It is very important to know the bio-activity and expressing efficiency of IL-10 expressed by our bacteria strain, since we are targeting the medical use of IL-10. We use human IL-10 ELISA kit (BOSTER Biological Technology co.Itd) to do the activity assay. It is notable that all our samples showed great IL-10 bio-activity, and the expressing level was super high. After incubation at 16℃ for 20h, the concentration of IL-10 in the culture can be 23 ng/ml.
