The Bowman-Birk inhibitors (BBIs) are currently investigated with renewed interest due to their therapeutic properties in cancer and other inflammatory disease treatment. The molecular mass of the BBI is a limitation, as sufficient amounts of the inhibitor do not reach the organs outside the gastrointestinal tract when administered orally.
The anti-tryptic domain of HGI-III of horsegram (Dolichos biflorus) was cloned using the vector pET-20b (+) and expressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3) pLysS.
Kinetic analysis of this anti-tryptic peptide (recombinant trypsin inhibitory domain (rTID)) reveals that it is a potent inhibitor of trypsin and human tryptase. The K(i) (3.2 ± 0.17 × 10(-8) M) establishes a very high affinity to bovine trypsin. rTID inhibited human lung tryptase (IC(50) 3.78 ± 0.23 × 10(-7) M). The rTID is resistant to the digestive enzymes found in humans and animals.
These properties propagate further research on the use of rTID as a therapeutic for cancer and other related inflammatory diseases.
由于在癌症和其他炎症性疾病治疗方面的治疗特性,目前人们对 Bowman-Birk 抑制剂(BBIs)重新产生了兴趣。BBI 的分子质量是一个限制因素,因为当口服给药时,足够量的抑制剂不会到达胃肠道以外的器官。
使用载体 pET-20b(+)克隆马豆(Dolichos biflorus)的 HGI-III 的抗胰蛋白酶结构域,并在 E. coli BL21(DE3)pLysS 中表达。
该抗胰蛋白酶肽(重组胰蛋白酶抑制结构域(rTID))的动力学分析表明,它是胰蛋白酶和人胰蛋白酶的有效抑制剂。该 K(i)(3.2±0.17×10(-8)M)与人牛胰蛋白酶建立了非常高的亲和力。rTID 抑制人肺胰蛋白酶(IC(50)3.78±0.23×10(-7)M)。rTID 对人和动物体内发现的消化酶具有抗性。
这些特性促使人们进一步研究 rTID 作为治疗癌症和其他相关炎症性疾病的治疗方法的用途。
