摘要
PIVL is a Kunitz-type serine protease inhibitor that was previously characterized from Tunisian snake venom, Macrovipera lebetina transmediterranea. It reduced glioblastoma cells' development and significantly blocked angiogenesis in in-vitro and ex-vivo models. PIVL exerted these effects by interfering with alpha v beta 3 integrin. In order to produce a biological active recombinant, the cDNA cloning and expression of PIVL was performed in Escherichia coli (BL21)-DE3 cells using pET-22b (+) vector. The recombinant PIVL protein (rPIVL) was purified by nickel affinity chromatography and has recognized monoclonal anti-His antibody. Functionally, rPIVL exhibited potent anti-tumor cell effects as well as anti-angiogenesis properties. Interestingly, we found that both native PIVL (nPIVL) and rPIVL modulated PI3/AKT and MAPK signaling pathways. In all, our results showed that we have successfully expressed the first active anti-oncogenic snake venom Kunitz-type protease inhibitor that can be a potential therapeutic drug against glioblastoma, in its native or recombinant form.
