PG - 267-276 LID - 10.1080/10826068.2020.1815056 [doi] AB - Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is an inflammatory cytokine that plays a major role in immune regulation, homeostatic function, and cellular organization. The present study was undertaken to overproduce recombinant human TNF-alpha (rhTNF-alpha) in Escherichia coli (E.coli) in high cell density culture. The use of a codon-optimized gene and strong promoter-based (T7) expression system, choice of Terrific Broth (TB) as medium, and subsequent optimization of culture conditions in shake flasks resulted in production of 0.95 g/L insoluble rhTNF-alpha comprising upto 50% of total cellular protein (TCP) The protein yield further increased upto 1.26 g/L in 1 L TB medium batch culture in bioreactor with the controlled temperature, pH, and dissolved oxygen. In a series of chemostats operated at dilution rates of 0.2 h(-1), 0.3 h(-1), 0.4 h(-1) and 0.5 h(-1) the specific growth rate (mu) positively correlated with specific yield (Y(p)(/)(x)) and a maximum yield of 164 mg/g DCW was obtained at mu = 0.4 h(-1) within 4 h post-induction. A fed-batch cultivation in TB with an exponential feeding profile (mu = approximately 0.4 h(-1)) of concentrated feed resulted in an accumulation of 5.5 g/L of rhTNF-alpha within 14 h of cultivation which accounted for approximately 29% of TCP.
