Abstract
To renature the inactive rhBMP-2 which overexpressed in Escherichia coli, post-expression treatments including inclusion bodies solubilization and in vitro refolding were systematically investigated. An optimized refolding process was established from screening and successfully scaled up with yield greater than 70%. Then, hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) was adopted as two consecutive stages to separate the active rhBMP-2 homodimer from refolding mixture. Aiding additive N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) was found to enhance the resolution of rhBMP-2 homodimer most effectively. The rhBMP-2 homodimer was purified to homogeneity through two HIC separations at different salt contents, the purified rhBMP-2 homodimer was fully bioactive and had equivalent biological activity to rhBMP-2 produced from Chinese hamster ovary cell (CHO). Under the optimal refolding and purification conditions, 80mg rhBMP-2 homodimer with high purity could be obtained from 1g wet weight of inclusion bodies. Finally, this efficient refolding and purification procedure was successfully scaled up in the pilot pharmaceutical plant.
