Abstract  

The viral macrophage inflammatory protein-II (vMIP-II) is encoded by Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus and the residues 1~21 of the N-terminal of vMIPII(NT21MP) was shown to strongly and selectively bind CXCR4 to inhibit the chemotaxis of SK-BR-3 cells.The N-terminal of vMIP-ⅡcDNA was derived by chemical sythesis method. DNA fragment encoding the NT21MP peptide was inserted into pGEX-KG vector and the recombinant plasmid was expressed in E.coli BL21(DE3). NT21MP peptide, which was recombinated with a glutathione S-transferase (GST) at the N-terminal, was expressed in E.coli cells.SDS-PAGE and Western Blot analysis demonstrated that the recombinant protein existed mainly in the supernatant of E.coli lysates. The supernatant was further purified by affinity chromatography, ultrafiltration and fast protein liquid chromatography. The bioactivity of GSTNT21MP was determined by Transwell chemotaxis on CXCR4-expressing breast cancer cell line SK-BR-3 in vitro. The results indicate that The chemotaxis of SK-BR-3 cells toward stromal cell-derived factor-1(SDF-1) was reduced by GST-NT21MP and may serve as a potential target drug for the treatment of breast cancer metastasis.
