Abstract
AbstractRecombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) is a therapeutic protein, associated with various human diseases, such as growth hormone deficiency. One of the interesting issues in the formulation of therapeutic proteins is excipients like disaccharides. In the current study, we try to compare the effect of sucrose and trehalose on the structure of rhGH in the liquid state at 25°C and 55°C. We use spectroscopic techniques including intrinsic and extrinsic fluorescence, Fourier‐transform infrared (FTIR), circular dichroism (CD), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and time‐resolved fluorescence. FTIR shows a slight change in the secondary structure of rhGH in presence of the sugars as sucrose is more effective than trehalose. Fluorescence investigations also confirm the enhancements of folding of rhGH and fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)‐rhGH in presence of sucrose (1.5‐fold more than trehalose). Also, we studied sucrose's effect on the rete of aggregation of rhGH using spectroscopy of Congo red, and fluorescence imaging of thioflavin T (ThT)‐treated samples. It can be suggested that sucrose facilitates the amyloid formation of rhGH during 20 days of incubation at 37°C. This study will help to understand the growth hormone structural behavior in the liquid state in the presence of sucrose and trehalose in vitro.
