| Abstract: | Midkine is a heparin-binding growth factor, which plays important roles in the regulation of cell growth and differentiation.
The non-tagged recombinant human midkine (rhMK) is therefore required to facilitate its functional studies of this important
growth factor. In the present work, rhMK was expressed in Escherichia coli (E. coli) BL21 (DE3). The expression of midkine was efficiently induced by isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG). After sonication,
midkine was recovered in an insoluble form, and was dissolved in guanidine hydrochloride buffer. Renaturation of the denatured
protein was carried out in the defined protein refolding buffer, and the refolded protein was purified using S-Sepharose ion-exchange
chromatography. The final preparation of the rhMK was greater than 98% pure as measured by sodium dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamid
gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). The purified rhMK enhanced
the proliferation of NIH3T3 cells.
