Abstrakt: Cell-Free Protein Synthesis (CFPS) offers many advantages for the production of recombinant therapeutic proteins using the CHO cell-free system. However, many complex proteins are still difficult to express using this method. To investigate the current bottlenecks in cell-free glycoprotein production, we chose erythropoietin (40% glycosylated), an essential endogenous hormone which stimulates the development of red blood cells. Here, we report the production of recombinant erythropoietin (EPO) using CHO cell-free system. Using this method, EPO was expressed and purified with a twofold increase in yield when the cell-free reaction was supplemented with CHO microsomes. The protein was purified to near homogeneity using an ion-metal affinity column. We were able to analyze the expressed and purified products (glycosylated cell-free EPO runs at 25-28 kDa, and unglycosylated protein runs at 20 kDa on an SDS-PAGE), identifying the presence of glycan moieties by PNGase shift assay. The purified protein was predicted to have ∼2,300 IU in vitro activity. Additionally, we tested the presence and absence of sugars on the cell-free EPO using a lectin-based assay system. The results obtained in this study indicate that microsomes augmented in vitro production of the glycoprotein is useful for the rapid production of single doses of a therapeutic glycoprotein drug and to rapidly screen glycoprotein constructs in the development of these types of drugs. CFPS is useful for implementing a lectin-based method for rapid screening and detection of glycan moieties, which is a critical quality attribute in the industrial production of therapeutic glycoproteins.
