Baculovirus expression vector system (BEVS) is widely used for production of recombinant eukaryotic proteins in insect larvae or cultured cells. BEVS has advantages over bacterial expression system in producing post-translationally modified secreted proteins. However, for some unknown reason, it is very difficult for insects to secrete sufficiently for certain proteins of interest. To understand the reasons why insect cells fail to secrete some kinds of recombinant proteins, we here employed three mammalian proteins as targets, EPO, HGF, and Wnt3A, with different secretion levels in BEVS and investigated their mRNA transcriptions from the viral genome, subcellular localizations, and interactions with silkworm ER chaperones. Moreover, we observed that no significantly influence on the secretion amounts of all three proteins when depleting or overexpressing most endogenous ER chaperone genes in cultured silkworm cells. However, among all detected ER chaperones, the depletion of BiP severely decreased the recombinant protein secretion in BEVS, indicating the possible central role of Bip in silkworm secretion pathway.

In recombinant protein production, over-expressed genes induce unfolded protein response (UPR), overloaded protein aggregation in endoplasmic reticulum and its expansion. In this study, we have used 16 chemicals to improve erythropoietin production in engineered CHO cells and tried to study the mechanism of reducing protein aggregation in each treatment. Endoplasmic reticulum expansion was studied through endoplasmic reticulum specific labeling with utilizing fluorescent glibenclamide and its molecular chaperones expression were studied by real-time polymerase chain reaction. The increase in the mRNA level of EPO and endoplasmic reticulum chaperones GRP78/BiP, XBP1, ATF6, and ATF4 in different chemical treatments were not related to ER expansion. On the other hand, ER expansion in beta alanine, beta cyclodextrin and taurine treatments resulted in increased EPO secretion. Dramatically increase in EPO expression in conjugated linoleic acid, spermidine, trehalose, and maltose (19, 20, 16, and 19-fold, respectively) did not increase erythropoietin productivity, but betaine which did not caused ER expansion, with minor increase in EPO gene expression increase EPO productivity. The results indicated that betaine increase EPO secretion in engineered CHO cell line without relation to ER expansion and molecular chaperones expression.
