摘要： The Pichia pastoris expression system is a favorable platform for production of pharmaceutical proteins. Treatment of strains with N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) has been shown to enhance the yield of recombinant proteins, thereby contributing to a reduction in production costs. However, the specific mechanism of action of NAC remains unclear. Previous research has indicated that glutathione (GSH) and autophagy are involved in the increased production of human serum albumin and porcine follicle-stimulating hormone beta (HSA-pFSH beta) by NAC. This study investigated the potential interaction between GSH and autophagy in the production of HSA-pFSH beta. The findings indicated that sulfhydryl-free antioxidants such as melatonin, vitamin C, or vitamin E did not exhibit similar effects to NAC in enhancing HSA-pFSH beta yield. Moreover, NAC was found to enhance HSA-pFSH beta production by modulating GSH metabolism to reduce GSH consumption, increase total GSH levels, as well as glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and glutathione reductase (GR) activities. Additionally, inhibition of autophagy through disruption of autophagy scaffolding proteins Atg1 or Atg11 led to an increase in recombinant HSA-pFSH beta production. Furthermore, NAC significantly decreased the phosphorylation of Slt2, and the absence of the SLT2 gene influenced the effect of NAC on HSA-pFSH beta secretion by modulating mitophagy and GSH metabolism. In conclusion, these results suggest a complex interplay between GSH metabolism and autophagy in the regulation of NAC-induced HSA-pFSH beta secretion.
