Expression and Function of Synthetic Dimeric Exercise-Induced Cytokine Irisin-Irisin by LIU Fengying, HUANG Yide, LIN Jia, CHEN Xuequn, WANG Qingshui, LIN Yao

“…The functions were verified in gastric cancer, colorectal cancer and other gastrointestinal tumors, and the activity and function of recombinant Irisin-Irisin and monomeric Irisin on tumor cells were compared.Results(1) Expression and purification of recombinant Irisin-Irisin: compared with the non-induced samples, the recombinant Irisin-Irisin was significantly expressed after IPTG induction; high purity recombinant Irisin-Irisin with a molecular weight of about 27 kDa was obtained by Ni Sepharose excel. (2) Detection of recombinant Irisin-Irisin activity: compared with the blank control group, both the recombinant Irisin-Irisin group and the Irisin group could up-regulate the expression of UCP-1 in C2C12 cells (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05); compared with the Irisin group, the recombinant Irisin-Irisin group had a more significant effect and stronger activity in inducing UCP-1 (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05). (3) Recombinant Irisin-Irisin on tumor function: compared with the blank control group, both the 100 ng/mL and 200 ng/mL Irisin-Irisin groups could inhibit the migration of gastric cancer cells and colorectal cancer cells(<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05), but had no effect on their proliferation and clone formation; compared with the Irisin group, the recombinant Irisin-Irisin group had a more significant effect on cell migration inhibition (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05).ConclusionThe recombinant Irisin-Irisin expressed by <italic>Escherichia coli</italic> has activity, and the activity is higher than that of the monomeric Irisin; recombinant Irisin-Irisin has an effect on the migration of gastric cancer cells and colorectal cancer cells, and the effect was better than that of the monomeric Irisin.…”
