PEGylation is one of the strategies used for enhancing in vivo residence time of recombinant human Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor (rhG-CSF) and therefore reducing in dose frequency to better fit with patient comfort treatment.In this study, three methoxy polyethylene glycol propionaldehydes (mPEG- ALD) of 10, 20 and 30kDa MW were utilized to produce biologically active monoPEGylated rhG-CSF with enhanced molecular weight. PEGylation reactions were carried out at room temperature and pH 5.0 in the presence of cyanoborohydride and two mPEG-ALD: protein molar ratios (3:1 and 5:1). The reactions were monitored with sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and size exclusion chromatography (SEC-HPLC). The results showed that a 2h reaction with 5:1 mPEG-ALD: protein molar ratio was sufficient to direct the reaction toward optimal yields of monoPEGylated protein (86%). Subsequently, isolation of the monoPEGylated forms was successfully achieved. The purified products were compared with respect to their purity (≥95%), identity and isoelectric focusing parameter characteristics. Biological potencies were measured by cell proliferation assay and showed 20.80–42.73% retention of bioactivities.This study highlights the possible improvement of rhG-CSF efficiency by PEGylation. Further studies will investigate in vitro and in vivo immunogenicity and toxicity of monoPEGylated conjugates.
