Abstract  Objective:To construct prokaryotic expression system for mass production of recombinant human thioredoxin and establish the purification process of thioredoxin. Methods: Total RNA was extracted from HEK293 (human embryonic kidney cells). The thioredoxin coding sequence was subcloned into the pET-22b(+) vector after amplified by PCR.The recombinant plasmids were transformed into E.coli BL21(DE3), and the thioredoxin was expressed with IPTG induction. The expressed thioredoxin was purified by two-step ion exchange chromatography and tested by SDS-PAGE, Western blotting, MALDI-TOF-M, HPLC, and insulin disulfide reduction assay for identification, purity assay and activity determination, respectively. Results: Gene sequencing demonstrated that thioredoxin coding sequence was cloned into pET-22b(+) vector successfully. The prokaryotic expression system achieved high yield of thioredoxin (180 mg/5L of fermentation broth), which was identified by Western blotting and MALDI-TOF-MS, with an estimated the molecular weight of 12 000. The purity of thioredoxin is more than 95%. The activity of purified thioredoxin had the same activity as the standard control. Conclusion: The prokaryotic expression system could achieve mass production of recombinant human thioredoxin, which can be highly purified by two-steps ion exchange chromatography. This preliminary study provides the foundation for the large-scale industrial production of thioredoxin.
