Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Human growth hormone-1 (GH-1), somatotropin, is a peptide hormone that stimulates cell division in tissues such as bone and cartilage. METHODS:To compare physiological activities in lipid-free and lipid-bound states, we expressed and incorporated GH-1 in reconstituted high-density lipoprotein (rHDL). RESULTS:GH-1 was expressed and purified using the pET30(a) vector and an Escherichia coli expression system. Purified GH-1 (at least 98% purity, 23 kD) was characterized and synthesized with apolipoproteinA-I (apoA-I), 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-phosphatidylcholine (POPC), and cholesterol. Secondary structure analysis of GH-1 revealed 54% α-helical content in a lipid-free state and 65% α-helical content in a lipid-bound state along with blue-shifted tryptophan movement (around 2 nm). GH-1 caused less uptake of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) into macrophages and inhibited senescence of dermal cells in a dose-dependent manner. GH-1 in a lipid-bound state exerted stronger inhibitory activity than in a lipid-free state, indicating improved anti-atherosclerotic activity due to the lipid formulation. In a fin regeneration experiment using zebrafish (17 weeks old, n=9), GH-1 showed its highest regeneration speed without any side effects. GH-1-rHDL containing apoA-I showed 2.3-fold and 1.6-fold higher regeneration speeds than lipid-free GH-1 (in native state) and lipid-bound GH-1, respectively. CONCLUSION:Incorporation of GH-1 and apoA-I in HDL enhanced tissue regeneration activity of amputated tail fin, indicating a synergetic effect between GH-1 and apoA-I in a lipid-bound state.
