Description

Polypeptide and application thereof in improving learning and memory disorders of senile dementia
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of medicine and pharmacy, particularly relates to micromolecule polypeptide and improvement and treatment of learning and memory disorder of senile dementia, and particularly relates to micromolecule polypeptide TAT-siP-Add1 and application thereof in preparation of a medicine for improving the learning and memory disorder of senile dementia.
Background
Alzheimer Disease (AD), also called senile dementia, has become a big killer threatening the health of the elderly all over the world, and is a high-incidence disease threatening the life and health of the elderly next to cardiovascular diseases. AD patients exhibit hypomnesis, impaired visuospatial function, and even dramatic changes in temperament and behavior in daily life. With the increasing of the disease condition of the patient, the patient gradually loses the self-care ability of daily life, which not only brings heavy economic burden to the society and families, but also has a great influence on the mood and the psychology of the patient and relatives around the patient. Therefore, at the present time when the aging problem of the population is increasingly highlighted, it is increasingly urgent to enhance the pathological basic research and drug development for AD.
The most typical clinical pathology of AD is senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles found in postmortem brain autopsies of patients, and is also accompanied by massive neuronal loss, atrophy of hippocampus and cortex, etc. Based on the two pathological features of senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, an amyloid cascade hypothesis and a Tau protein hyperphosphorylation hypothesis are proposed, and a great deal of research has been conducted in the laboratory, and corresponding drugs have been clinically tested, but unfortunately, no specific drug has been effective for delaying or treating AD so far. Recent reports indicate that progressive cognitive function and memory decline has begun to occur in early stages of AD, while senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles are often absent. Therefore, the intensive study on the pathological change mechanism of the AD in the early stage can bring new breakthrough to the treatment and the early diagnosis of the AD.
The neurosynaptic is a site where neurons are functionally interconnected, and is also a key point for information transmission and communication of neurons. Synapses are basic units in the brain, and synaptic activity can stimulate the maturation of mushroom dendritic spines and form new synapses, so that the synaptic strength can adapt to the change of internal and external environments, and further play an important role in learning and memory. Synapse loss and dysfunction mean that synapses are affected in terms of storage, processing, and transmission of information, leading to disruption of information flow throughout neural circuits and networks, and manifested as neurological dysfunction or dementia. Studies have shown that in AD brain, especially in early stages, it is possible to find interruptions in synaptic activity and loss of synapses. Several studies have shown a higher correlation between synaptic disorders characterized by loss of synapses and decreased synaptic activity and cognitive impairment in AD compared to senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. Therefore, treatment strategies for synaptic disorders in AD are already a major current direction.
TAT cell penetrating polypeptides (cell penetrating peptides) are a highly efficient transport vector discovered in recent years. TAT can penetrate cell membranes and nuclear membranes, and carries polypeptides, proteins, DNA molecules and the like to enter cytoplasm and nucleus by a receptor transport mode to exert corresponding biological effects. The current research shows that HIV-TAT can pass through all tissue cells and has no obvious toxic and side effects. TAT can bring the polypeptide connected with TAT into cells within minutes, and can cross blood brain barrier to enter neurons, and the polypeptide brought into cells retains the original biological activity, thereby playing a biological role.

The water level in the pool is about 45cm high, the room temperature and the water temperature are kept at 22 +/-2 ℃, and the platform is placed in the center of a certain quadrant and is about 2cm below the water level. During training, the mouse is lightly put in water from any quadrant 1/2 with the arc head facing the pool wall, and the latency period (namely the time taken by the mouse to find a platform from entering the water) and the path of the mouse are used as indexes for measuring the learning memory and the test performance of the mouse. Each mouse is trained 3 times in 3 quadrants every day, the swimming time limit is 60s each time, namely the system automatically stops recording when a platform is not found in 60s, the latency period is recorded as 60s, a tester guides the mouse to stand, and the next training is carried out after the tester has a rest for 20 s. The training time was first 6 days, the time required for the mice to find the platform was recorded every day, and the latency required for the mice to find the platform was recorded. After resting for one day, the platform was removed, the residence time of the mouse in the target quadrant was calculated for 60s and the number of crossings of the mouse at the location of the platform was analyzed to evaluate its memory. Wherein: FIG. 9A is a graph of the movement traces of three groups of mice on day 8 of the water maze experiment; fig. 9B is a graph of the latency statistics of the training phase 6 days prior to the three groups of mouse water maze experiments. In the learning phase of days 4-6, the incubation period for APP/PS1 mice injected with TAT-scramble polypeptide solution to reach the platform was prolonged; in contrast, APP/PS1 mice given TAT-siP-Add1 polypeptide solution injections had significantly reduced latency to reach the platform; FIG. 9C is a graph of the latency statistics of the 8 th day testing phase of the three groups of mouse water maze experiments. In the 8 th day of detection, APP/PS1 mice injected with TAT-scramble polypeptide solution had prolonged latency to reach the platform; in contrast, APP/PS1 mice given TAT-siP-Add1 polypeptide solution injections had significantly reduced latency to reach the platform; FIG. 9D is a graph of the statistics of the number of platform crossings at the 8 th day detection stage of the three groups of mouse water maze experiments.

TAT-siP-Add1 has a sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.1, is artificially synthesized by Jiangsu Qiangmao Biotechnology Co., Ltd, and is shown in FIG. 1 by MS analysis, and the analysis result shows that the amino acid sequence of the synthesized polypeptide is consistent with the SEQ ID NO. 1. The synthesized TAT-siP-Add1 polypeptide has the purity of 98.67%, 10mg of one polypeptide is white powder, can be completely dissolved in water, and is sealed and stored at-20 ℃ in a dark place. Before use, the preparation is diluted by normal saline for injection according to a specified concentration and is used as it is. The TAT-scramble sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO.2 and was also synthesized by this company.
Abnormal phosphorylation levels of Rock2 and Add1 in AD patients: see fig. 2. After the AD patient and normal human brain tissue samples are quickly washed by PBS (phosphate buffer solution) with the temperature of precooling to 0-4 ℃, RIPA strong lysate is added to ice for homogenate, the total protein of the tissue is extracted, and the expression quantification of the protein is carried out. We found that the brain contents of Rock2 and Add1-S726 in AD patients are obviously higher than those in the control group, and the two contents have stronger correlation.
Rock2 in Neuro2a cells promoted phosphorylation of Add1-S72 site: see fig. 3. An empty plasmid overexpressing Rock2 or a control was transfected into Neuro2a cells, and 48 hours later, cellular proteins were collected and quantified for protein expression. Immunochromatographic analysis revealed that Rock2 indeed promotes phosphorylation at the Add1-S726 site.
TAT-siP-Add1 polypeptide inhibits Add1-S726 phosphorylation in HEK293T cells: see fig. 4. Plasmids overexpressing Rock2 and Add1 were transfected into HEK293T cells and 48 hours later, treated with different concentrations of TAT-siP-Add1 and TAT-scramble polypeptides for 3 hours, followed by harvesting of the cells. Immunoblot detection shows that TAT-siP-Add1 with the concentration of 15 mu M can effectively antagonize the phosphorylation promotion effect of Rock2 on Add1-S726 sites. TAT-scramble polypeptides do not have this effect.
TAT-siP-Add1 polypeptide inhibits Add1-S726 phosphorylation in APP/PS1 mice: see fig. 5. Randomly dividing APP/PS1 mice with similar body weight and month age into two groups, injecting TAT-siP-Add1 or TAT-scramblel polypeptide solution into the two groups of mice in an intraperitoneal injection mode at a concentration of 15mg/kg every day, continuously injecting for two weeks, anesthetizing and decapitating the mice after 6 days, quickly separating bilateral hippocampus, and homogenizing and extracting total protein of the hippocampus by using RIPA strong lysate. Immunoblotting shows that TAT-siP-Add1 polypeptide can effectively antagonize phosphorylation promotion of Add1-S726 site by Rock2 under in vivo conditions.
TAT-siP-Add1 polypeptide increased APP/PS1 mouse hippocampal dendritic spine density: see fig. 6. C57 mice (WT) and APP/PS1 mice (A/P) of similar body weight and age were selected and randomized into three groups, and after the adaptation period, APP/PS1 mice were injected daily by intraperitoneal injection with TAT-siP-Add1 or TAT-scramblel solution at a concentration of 15mg/kg, and WT mice were injected with physiological saline in the same manner and dose for two weeks, followed by Golgi staining. Golgi staining shows that the density of hippocampal dendritic spines and the proportion of mushroom type dendritic spines of APP/PS1 mice injected with TAT-scramble polypeptide are also greatly reduced; while mice injected with APP/PS1 having TAT-siP-Add1 polypeptide significantly improved dendritic spine density and a reduction in the proportion of mushroom-type dendritic spines.
TAT-siP-Add1 polypeptide increases the hippocampal dendritic complexity of APP/PS1 mice: see fig. 7. Hippocampal neuronal morphology was analyzed after golgi staining of three groups of mice in fig. 6. As a result, APP/PS1 mice injected with TAT-scramble polypeptide have reduced complexity of hippocampal dendrites; compared with the mouse neuron dendritic complexity, the mouse neuron dendritic complexity of the mouse hippocampal injected with the TAT-siP-Add1 polypeptide is obviously improved, and the TAT-siP-Add1 polypeptide can effectively improve the dendritic complexity of the APP/PS1 mouse neuron.
TAT-siP-Add1 polypeptide improves the electrophysiology of mice: see fig. 8. Three groups of mice in fig. 6 were decapitated after anesthesia, and brain tissue was rapidly removed into frozen artificial cerebrospinal fluid (aCSF) and sectioned with a vibrating microtome. LTP was stably recorded (baseline 15-30 minutes, followed by induction with high frequency stimulation and recording continued for 1 hour) by selecting appropriate stimulation sites and stimulation intensities, and the magnitude of LTP induction was found to be significantly enhanced in APP/PS1 mouse hippocampal neurons injected with TAT-siP-Add1 polypeptide compared to TAT-scramble group mice, indicating that TAT-siP-Add1 polypeptide injection was effective in improving LTP electrophysiological activity in APP/PS1 mouse neurons.
Learning and memory ability of mice: see fig. 9. Three groups of mice in fig. 6 were subjected to behavioral experiments using the Morris water maze test system. As a result, it was found that in the learning phase of days 4-6, the incubation period until reaching the platform was prolonged in APP/PS1 mice injected with TAT-scramble polypeptide solution; in contrast, mice injected with TAT-siP-Add1 polypeptide solution had significantly reduced latency to reach the platform.
In the detection of the 8 th day, the incubation period of the APP/PS1 mouse injected with TAT-scramble polypeptide solution to reach the platform is prolonged, the frequency of crossing the platform is reduced, and the learning and memory ability is poor; compared with the prior art, the incubation period of the APP/PS1 mice injected with the TAT-siP-Add1 polypeptide solution to reach the platform is obviously reduced, the frequency of crossing the platform is obviously improved, and the learning and memory ability is enhanced.
The results show that the density, the dendritic complexity and the electrophysiology of the neuron dendritic spines of the APP/PS1 mouse can be obviously improved by injecting TAT-siP-Add1 polypeptide solution into the abdominal cavity. Immunoblot detection shows that TAT-siP-Add1 polypeptide can obviously inhibit phosphorylation of Add1-S726 site of APP/PS1 mouse. In the Morris water maze, APP/PS1 mice injected with TAT-siP-Add1 polypeptide solution have obviously shortened latency, obviously increased frequency of platform crossing and enhanced learning and memory ability. The experiments prove that the TAT-siP-Add1 polypeptide can antagonize the promotion effect of Rock2 on Add1-S726 phosphorylation, so that the neuron dendritic spine density and dendritic complexity are increased, the electrophysiology is enhanced, and the learning and memory of mice are improved.
