The recombinant human IL-11 is the only approved medicine used for treating chemotherapy-induced side effects. Platelet count decreases (thrombocytopenia) in cancer patients who undergo chemotherapy. Interleukin-11 (IL-11) is a platelet increasing cytokine. This study aimed to use two shuttle vectors of pHT43 and pMR12 for cloning the IL-11 gene and     expression of its protein in Bacillus. subtilis and the expression level in these two vectors was   investigated.

In this study, the IL-11 gene was designed and synthesized as a closed structure with two restriction sites for BamH1 and XbaI enzymes and a final length of 609 bp. Then the gene was cloned in two shuttle vectors of pHT43 and pMR12 and transferred to   B. subtilis WB 600. The expression level of the recombinant IL-11 was evaluated with the      Bradford incubation, the pMR12-int11-carrying bacteria expressed higher levels of the protein(75 µg/mL) than pHT43-int11-carrying bacteria.

The results of PCR indicated that the IL-11 gene existed in shuttle vectors pHT43 and pMR12. The expression of this protein was about 75 /g / mL using pMR12 vector, which is higher than the bacterium carrying pHT43-int11.

The expression level of the recombinant IL-11 protein with pMR12 vector was higher than pHT43 vector. This amount has not been reported so far for IL-11. B. subtilis can express and produce IL-11 and can be used as a source for drug production

Bacillus subtilis is considered as a suitable host for gene cloning and protein expression due to non-pathogenicity and ability to secrete high amounts of proteins. However, transformation efficiency of ligated plasmid DNA into competent cells of B. subtilis is low, as compared to that into CaCl2 shocked cells of Escherichia coli. Therefore, cloning the target in E. coli using a shuttle vector before transfer into B. subtilis by a high amount of hybrid vector is more efficient. The aim of this study is construction a shuttle vector using pW980 and pET-16b plasmids for gene cloning and expression in B. subtilis. pWB980 plasmid was isolated from its host using alkaline lysis method. It was undergone a double digestion to obtain the segment of interest using EcoRI  and SnaBI enzymes. Then a special fragment of pET-16b plasmid was also amplified by PCR and was double digested. Ligation reaction was performed between these two segments and then it was transferred to E. coli TOP10. Following screening the cells containing shuttle vector, plasmid was extracted and was transferred to B. subtilis WB600 by an effective method. The resulting shuttle vector replicated easily in both hosts. It showed good stability in B. subtilis, which is helpful for its maintenance in its host. In this study, the resulting shuttle vector - pMR12 - had 8 unique cloning site in its polylinker and a suitable size (5.4 kb), which make it possible to simply gene cloning into it. This is the first report of construction of an expression shuttle vector for Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis in Iran.
