Detailed Description Of The Invention
The present invention partly relates to the discovery that some oligonucleotides can be regulated the immune response of TLR mediation. The immune response of adjusting TLR used herein mediation means to handle the ability of one or more TLR signal conduction. For example, the present invention can change the TLR characteristic of specific T LR part, so that having in the presence of some oligonucleotides, these parts are by different TLR conducted signals. As another example, having in the presence of some oligonucleotides, known TLR part by more than one TLR conducted signals only shows and carries out the signal conduction by a kind of TLR, and in many cases, such signal conduction is enhanced. In another example, having in the presence of some oligonucleotides, usefulness and the effect of the conduction of TLR signal are significantly increased. Therefore, the present invention can pass through TLR7, among TLR8 and the TLR9 any or suppress and/or strengthen the signal conduction by any combination wherein is selective.
The present invention partly relates to following observed result: by Imidazoquinoline derivatives resiquimod (R-848) and few (dT) of autoactivation TLR7 and TLR817Homopolymers oligonucleotides (ODN 6056) is hatched the remarkable R-848 that increased altogether to the activity of HEK 293 cells of expressing TLR8, and the signal conduction of TLR7 mediation is eliminated. Similarly, the guanosine analogue Loxoribine by autoactivation TLR7 and few (dT)17The combination of ODN 6056 is induced the signal conduction of TLR8 mediation in the sequence selective mode and is eliminated the signal conduction of TLR7 mediation.
By with few (dT)17Hatch altogether and also changed the cell factor distribution that Loxoribine is induced in people's immunocyte kind. IL-12, TNF-α or IFN-γ secrete in a large number, and IFN-α generation is eliminated. Although do not estimate to be subject to any specific mechanism constraint, be transferred to due to the monocyte that activates by itself and ODN combination but infer the change of in the inducing cell factor, observing and be because independent Loxoribine makes from the cell type of Plasmacytoid DC activation, and show not expressive function TLR7 of monocyte.
The present invention is used for regulating the immune response of certain limit thus. In a specific embodiment, the present invention be used for to suppress TLR7 signal conduction (with the immune response of relevant TLR7 mediation), optionally induces simultaneously TLR8 signal conduction (immune response that mediates with relevant TLR8). In another specific embodiment, the invention provides inducing (comprising enhancing) of TLR8 signal conduction (immune response that mediates with relevant TLR8). According to the difference that connects oligonucleotides character, can induce simultaneously TLR9 signal conduction (immune response that mediates with relevant TLR9). For example, comprise connection oligonucleotides and the TLR7 part of CpG motif, can induce TLR8 and TLR9 signal conduction (and relevant immune response) such as the combination of Loxoribine.
The present invention also can be used for treating a series of diseases, and they can have benefited from choosing wantonly not or inducing (comprising enhancing) of the inhibition of the immune response of TLR7 mediation in the presence of the immune response of TLR9 mediation and/or immune response that TLR8 mediates arranged.
The disease of inhibition that can have benefited from the immune response of TLR7 mediation comprises autoimmune disease, such as, but be not limited to lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, particularly those diseases relevant with dna virus infection. Can use the inhibition of the immune response of TLR7 mediation, follow the inducing of immune response of TLR8 mediation, wherein need to strengthen by T and regulate the t cell response that cell suppresses. This class disease includes, but are not limited to cancer and the HCV of some form, and HBV and HIV infect. The TLR7 inhibition of associating and TLR8 induce also and may be of value to the treatment autoimmune disease, or wherein need induce immune response, but avoid TLR7 xicity related. Do not rely on TLR7 mediation immune response regulation the TLR8 mediation immune response induce (comprising enhancings) especially to be used in to treat cancer and infection in vaccine or the non-vaccine environment.
The present invention also can be used for treating the disease that can have benefited from the cell factor generation, or wherein the experimenter is difficult to control or becomes it (for example is difficult to control to the effect of some cell factor, IFN-α is as what sometimes observe in the treatment virus infections).

The autoimmune illness
Relate to the illness that innate immunity is replied or the Th1-para-immunity is replied and comprise inflammation, acute and chronic allograft rejection, graft versus host disease (GvHD), some autoimmune disease and sepsis.Consider that the selectivity to the conduction of TLR signal that the present invention can realize suppresses, the present invention can be used for the treatment of this class illness.
Autoimmune disease generally can be categorized as antibody-mediated, the cell-mediated or antibody-mediated combination cell-mediated with T-of T-.Think that the combination of connection ODN of the present invention and TLR part is used for the treatment of the various types of autoimmunity that relate to immunity antibody-mediated or that T-is cell-mediated, comprise insulin-dependent (I type) diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus (sle) (SLE) and inflammatory bowel (being Crohn disease and ulcerative colitis).Can utilize the animal model of these autoimmune diseases and they are used for estimating the effect that the present invention is combined in these diseases.Other autoimmune disease includes, but are not limited to alopecia areata, acquired hemophilia, ankylosing spondylitis, antiphospholipid syndrome, autoimmune hepatitis, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, behcet's syndrome, cardiomyopathy, sprue dermatitis, confirmed fatigue immune dysfunction syndrome (CFIDS), chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, this syndrome of mound, cicatricial pemphigoid, the CREST syndrome, cold agglutinin disease, discoid lupus, essential mixed cryoglobulinemia, fibromyalgia, fibromyositis, Ge-Ba syndrome, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, IgA nephropathy, adolescent arthritis, lichen planus, myasthenia gravis, polyarteritis, polychondritis, polyglandular syndrome, dermatomyositis, the constitutional gamma globulin lacks mass formed by blood stasis, constitutional bile liver cirrhosis, psoriasis, Raynaud phenomenon, Reiter syndrome, sarcoidosis, stiff man syndrome, high peace arthritis (Takayasu arthritis), temple tremulous pulse/giant cell arteritis, uveitis, vasculitis and vitiligo.
In several autoimmune diseases, observe antibody usually at autoantigen.For example, with regard to systemic lupus erythematosus (sle), the autoantibody of strand and double-stranded DNA or RNA has been described.(1999) J Immunol 163:6306-13 such as Vallin H; (1999) JImmunol 163:3304-12 such as Hoet RM; Ven Venrooij (1990) J Clin Invest86:2154-60.The autoantibody level of finding in the autoimmune patients serum is relevant with severity of disease.For example, the complete macromolecular particle of the mode annunciations of the autoantibody that produces in people SLE can be for immunogenic such as the complex that contains RNA-or DNA self, and anti-nucleic acid antibody can produce thus.(1992) Mol Biol Rep 16:127 such as Lotz M; MohanC etc. (1993) J Exp Med 177:1367-81.For example, this class is from the cell inflammation that DNA that king's cell or be present in discharges in the microorganism that contains DNA or RNA the autoimmune patients serum or RNA can cause facilitating autoimmune disease of withering.Fatenejad S (1994) J Immunol152:5523-31; (2002) Isr Med Assoc J 4:706-12 such as Malmegrim KC; (2001) Arthritis Res 3:253-8 such as Newkirk MM.In fact, can be from inducing by thinking that facilitating group to examine the SLE serum of effective immunne response of the IFN-α secretion control that immunological diseases take place identifies the sequence that contains CpG.(2001) Scand J Immunol54:543-50 such as Magnusson M;
Figure A20068004438600431
L etc. (2001) J Exp Med 194:F59-63.In addition, the anti-RNA antibody epitope that can identify and its are by being rich in G, and the sequence of U is formed.(1992) Proc Natl Acad Sci U.S. 89:8864-8 such as Tsai DE; (1993) JImmunol 150:1137-45 such as Tsai DE.
Anaphylaxis
" anaphylaxis illness " or " anaphylaxis " mean the acquired allergy to material (anaphylactogen).The anaphylactoid experimenter that conduct is replied anaphylactogen takes place or has taken place in advance before answering feeling the pulse with the finger-tip in " experimenter with anaphylaxis illness ".The anaphylaxis illness includes, but are not limited to eczema, allergic rhinitis or rhinitis, and pollinosis, anaphylaxis conjunctivitis, bronchial asthma, urticaria (urticaria) (urticaria (hives)) and food anaphylaxis, other atopy illness comprises atopic dermatitis; Anaphylaxis; Drug allergy; And angioedema.
Anaphylaxis is generally from the certain kinds Immunoglobulin IgE to anaphylactogen and produces the relevant ictal illness of antibody.IgE mediation Aeroallergens is replied also for showing the factor of susceptible generation asthma.If anaphylactogen runs into and basophilic leukocyte (circulation in the blood) or mastocyte (disperse omnipresence in solid tissue) the bonded specific IgE of lip-deep IgE Fc receptor (Fc ε R), cell is activated so, cause amboceptor such as histamine, 5-hydroxy tryptamine and lipid mediators produce and discharge.
Anaphylaxis takes place when the IgE class is organized sensitization immunoglobulin and exogenous allergen reaction.IgE antibody discharges anaphylactoid chemical mediator (vasoactive amine) with the cell that mastocyte and/or basophilic leukocyte combine and these are special when the anaphylactogen that is subjected to bridging antibody molecule end so stimulates.Histamine, platelet activating factor, arachidonic acid metabolite and 5-hydroxy tryptamine are wherein known people's best anaphylaxis amboceptor.Histamine and other vasoactive amine generally are stored in mastocyte and the basophil.These mastocytes disperse omnipresence in animal tissue, and basophilic leukocyte circulates in vascular system.These cells are produced in cell and are stored histamine, occur otherwise relate to the bonded consequence dedicated sequences of the IgE that causes its release.
Anaphylactoid symptom changes according to the difference of position in the body, wherein IgE and antigen-reactive.If reaction takes place along respiratory epithelium, symptom is generally sneeze so, cough and asthma reaction.With regard to food anaphylaxis, if in digestive tract, interact, so common unusual pain and diarrhoea.For example, give penicillin at bee sting or to the anaphylaxis experimenter after, the systemic anaphylaxis system may serious and common life-threatening.
It is relevant that anaphylaxis and Th2-para-immunity are replied, and its feature is at least partially in Th2 cytokine IL-4 and IL-5 and to the antibody allotype conversion of IgE.Th1 and Th2 immunne response are oppositely to regulate each other, and the feasible skew that immunne response is replied the Th1-para-immunity can prevent or improve the Th2-para-immunity and reply, and comprises anaphylaxis.
Asthma
" asthma " used herein means respiratory disorder, it is characterized in that airway inflammation and narrow and air flue increase the reactivity that sucks pathogen.Asthma is relevant with atopy or anaphylaxis illness usually, but is not unique.The symptom of asthma comprises the wheezing that causes because of airway obstruction, draws last breath feeling of chest tightness and cough outbreak repeatedly.Can detect the airway inflammation relevant by observing many physiological changes with asthma, such as, airway epithelia strips off, collagen deposition under the basement membrane, and edema, the mastocyte activation, inflammatory cell infiltration comprises neutrophilic leukocyte, eosinophilic granulocyte and lymphocyte.As the result of airway inflammation, airway hyperreactivity takes place in asthmatic patient usually, flow limitation, respiratory symptom and disease chronicity.Flow limitation comprises acute bronchoconstriction, the air flue edema, and slime plug forms and Airway Remodeling, and these features cause bronchial obstruction usually.In some situation of asthma, fibrosis under the basement membrane may take place, cause the pulmonary function persistent anomaly.
Research has in the past few years disclosed asthma may be because of the inflammatory cell of air flue residence, and the complexity interaction institute in amboceptor and other cell and the tissue causes.Mastocyte, acidophil, epithelial cell, macrophage all can play an important role in the inflammatory process relevant with asthma with activating T cell.(1990) Am Rev Respir Dis142:434-457 such as Djukanovic R.Think that these cells can form and the synthetic recently amboceptor of may be directly or indirectly effect being organized in the part influences the air flue function by secretion.Recognize that also t lymphocyte subset group (Th2) is playing an important role aspect the allergic inflammation in the disease chronicity adjusting air flue by discharging selective cytokine and setting up.(1992) N Engl J Med326:298-304 such as Robinson DS.
Asthma is that the complicated disease that different phase produces is taking place, and can be categorized as acute, subacute or chronic based on the symptom degree.Acute inflammatory reaction is raised into air flue relevant with cell in early days.The subacute inflammation reaction relates to the residential cell activation that cell is raised and caused persistency inflammation pattern.Chronic inflammatory reaction is characterised in that primary cellular defect and the carrying out property repair process that continues level, may cause the persistency in the air flue unusual.
" experimenter with asthma " for having the experimenter of respiratory disorder, it is characterized in that airway inflammation and narrow and the airway reactivity that sucks pathogen increased.With asthma relevant factor takes place and include, but are not limited to anaphylactogen, cold temperature is tempered viral infection and SO 2
Asthma as herein described can be replied relevantly with the Th2-para-immunity, and its feature is at least partially in Th2 cytokine IL-4 and IL-5 and to the antibody allotype conversion of IgE.Th1 and Th2 immunne response are oppositely to regulate each other, and the feasible skew that immunne response is replied the Th1-para-immunity can prevent or improve the Th2-para-immunity and reply, and comprises anaphylaxis.
TLR7/8 part of the present invention also is used to improve the dendritic cell survival with the combination that is connected oligonucleotide, differentiation and ripe.
Provide the method that strengthens the epi-position diffusion of the present invention in aspect some." epi-position diffusion " used herein means the epitope specificity variation of going up subdominant and/or hiding epi-position to this albumen (intramolecularly diffusion) or other albumen (intermolecular diffusion) from the initially concentrated advantage epitope specificity immunne response that is oriented to self or extrinsic protein.The epi-position diffusion produces multiple epitope specificity immunne response.
Antimicrobial
The TLR7/8 part be connected oligonucleotide combination and can use jointly with one or more antimicrobials.Antimicrobial or medicine include, but are not limited to antibacterial, antiviral agent, antifungal and antiparasitic.Term, such as " anti-infective ", " antibiotic ", " antibacterial agent ", " antiviral agent ", the implication that " antifungal ", " antiparasitic " and " parasiticide medicament " are fully established based on those skilled in the art and being defined in the standard medical textbook.In brief, antibacterial agent kills and wounds antibacterial and comprises antibiotic and other has the synthetic or native compound of similar functions.Antiviral agent can separate from natural origin or synthesize and be used to kill and wound or suppress virus.Antifungal is used for the treatment of the shallow fungal infection of table and chance and constitutional whole body fungal infection.Antiparasitic kills and wounds or suppresses parasite.Many antibiotic are by cell, such as the low-molecular-weight molecule of microorganisms as secondary metabolite.Generally speaking, antibiotic disturbs microorganism is had specificity and is not present in one or more functions or structure in the host cell.
One of problem relevant with the infection therapy is the side effect that takes place in the host with anti-infective treatment.For example, many anti-infectives can kill and wound or suppress broad-spectrum micro-organisms and the kind of particular type is not had specificity.Use the anti-infective treatment of these types to cause killing and wounding normal flora and the infective micro-organisms of living among the host.Described flora disappearance can cause the disease complication and make other pathogen of host's susceptible, because this flora and infectious pathogen are competed and worked as barrier.Other side effect may produce as specificity or the non-specific result that be of these chemical entity to host's non-microorganism cell or tissue.
Be to take place the antibiotic resistance strain of microorganism with another problem of widely-used anti-infective.Vancomycin resistance enterococcus has appearred, the penicillin resistance streptococcus pneumoniae, and multidrug resistant staphylococcus aureus and multidrug resistant pulmonary tuberculosis bacterial strain, and become clinical subject matter.Widely-used anti-infective can produce the strains of many antibacterials.As a result of, need new infection strategy to resist these microorganisms.
The antibacterium antibiotic that effectively kills and wounds or suppress extensive antibacterial is called broad ectrum antibiotic.The antibacterium antibiotic of other type is mainly effective to Gram-positive or Gram-positive bacterioid.The antibiotic of these types is called narrow-spectrum antibiotic.Effectively resist single creature or disease, but other invalid antibiotic of other type antibacterial is called limited spectrum antibiotic.
Antibacterial agent is sometimes based on its main model of action classification.Generally speaking, antibacterial agent is the cell wall synthetic inhibitor, cell membrane inhibitor, protein synthesis inhibitor, nucleic acid synthetic or depressant of functions and competitive inhibitor.The cell wall synthetic inhibitor suppresses the cell wall building-up process and is generally the step of bacterial peptide polysaccharide in synthetic.The cell wall synthetic inhibitor comprises beta-Lactam antibiotic, natural penicillin, semisynthetic penicillin, ampicillin, clavulanic acid, cephalosporins and bacitracin.
Beta-Lactam antibiotic is the antibiotic that comprises the synthetic final step of peptide for inhibiting polysaccharide of 4-unit beta-lactam nucleus, and beta-Lactam antibiotic can be for synthetic or natural.The beta-Lactam antibiotic that is produced by Penicillium (penicillium) is a natural antibiotics, such as benzylpenicillin or penicillin V.They produce by fermentation Penicllium chrysogenum (Penicillium chrysogenum).Natural penicillin has narrow spectrum activity and generally to Streptococcus (Streptococcus), gonococcus (Gonococcus) and staphylococcus (Staphylococcus) are effective.Also the natural penicillin to effective other type of gram positive bacteria comprises penicillin F, X, K and O.
Semi-synthetic penicillins is generally the trim of the molecule 6-amino-penicillanic acid of mycete generation.Can modify 6-amino-penicillanic acid by adding side chain, described side chain produces to have than the natural penicillin penicillin of broad spectrum of activity or various other advantageous feature more.The semisynthetic penicillin of some type has the wide spectrum to gram positive bacteria and gram negative bacteria, but by the penicillinase inactivation.These semisynthetic penicillins comprise the ampicillin, carbenicillin, oxazacillin, azlocillin, mezlocillin and piperacillin.The semisynthetic penicillin of other type has narrower activity to gram positive bacteria, but has occurred not by the characteristic of penicillinase inactivation, and they comprise, for example methicillin, dicloxacillin and nafcillin.Some wide spectrum semisynthetic penicillin can with beta-lactamase inhibitor, all clavulanic acids and Sulbactam coupling.Beta-lactamase inhibitor does not have anti-microbial effect, but they play the inhibition penicillinase, prevents the semisynthetic penicillin degraded thus.
The beta-Lactam antibiotic of another kind of type is a cephalosporins.They are to the degraded sensitivity of antibacterial beta-lactamase, and therefore use is always invalid separately.Yet, cephalosporins tolerance penicillinase.They are effective to various gram positive bacterias and gram negative bacteria.Cephalosporins includes, but are not limited to cefalotin, cefapirin, cefalexin, cefamandole, cefaclor, cefazolin, cefuroxime, cefoxitin, cefotaxime, cefsulodin, cefetamet, cefixime, ceftriaxone, cefoperazone, cephalo pyridine and latamoxef.
Bacitracin is for being released into the outside synthetic another kind of antibiotic of cell wall that suppresses of film by suppressing muramyl peptide subunit or Peptidoglycan from the molecule of sending this Asia animal.Although bacitracin is effective to gram positive bacteria, its application is generally limited to topical because of its high toxicity.
Carbapenem is that another kind can suppress the synthetic wide spectrum beta-Lactam antibiotic of cell wall.The example of carbapenem includes, but are not limited to imipenum.Single bacterium amine is the wide spectrum beta-Lactam antibiotic also, and comprises euztreonam.The antibiotic vancomycin that streptomyces (Streptomyces) produces is synthetic also effective to gram positive bacteria by suppressing cell membrane.
Another kind of antibacterial agent is the antibacterial agent of cell membrane inhibitor.These chemical compounds destroy the bacterial membrane structure or suppress its function.Use a problem to be that they can generation effect in prokaryotic cell and antibacterial because of the similarity in the phospholipid in antibacterial and eukaryotic cell membrane as the antibacterial agent of cell membrane inhibitor.Therefore, these chemical compounds almost are not enough to allow these chemical compound whole bodies to use specificity and prevent to use the high dose topical.
A kind of clinical useful cell membrane inhibitor is a polymyxin.Polymyxin disturbs the film function by the binding film phospholipid.Polymyxin mainly effectively and generally is used for serious pseudomonal infection or the antibiotic pseudomonal infection of tolerance low toxicity to gram negative bacteria.These give the relevant side effect of this chemical compound with whole body and comprise infringement to kidney and other organ.
Other cell membrane inhibitor comprises amphotericin B and nystatin, and they are the antifungal that is mainly used in treatment whole body fungal infection and mycocandida yeast infection.Imidazoles is the another kind of antibiotic of cell membrane inhibitor that is.Imidazoles for example, is used for the treatment of yeast infection as antibacterial agent and antifungal, and dermatozoon infects and the whole body fungal infection.Imidazoles includes, but are not limited to clotrimazole, miconazole, ketoconazole, itraconazole and itraconazole.
Many antibacterial agents are protein synthesis inhibitor.These chemical compounds prevent antibacterial composite structure albumen and enzyme and cause bacterial cell growth thus or function suppresses or cell death.Generally speaking, these chemical compounds disturb and transcribe or translation process.The antibacterial agent that blocking-up is transcribed includes, but are not limited to rifampicin and ethambutol.The rifampicin of inhibitory enzyme RNA polymerase has broad spectrum of activity and effective to gram positive bacteria and gram negative bacteria and mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mycobacteriumtuberculosis).Ethambutol is effective to mycobacterium tuberculosis.
The antibacterial agent of blocking-up translation disturbs bacterial ribosome to be translated into protein to prevent mRNA.Generally speaking, such chemical compound includes, but are not limited to Tetracyclines, chloromycetin, Macrolide (for example erythromycin) and aminoglycoside (for example streptomycin).
Aminoglycoside is by antibacterial streptomyces (Streptomyces), such as, streptomycin for example, kanamycin, kanamycin, amikacin and gentamycin produce a class antibiotic.Aminoglycoside is useful to the bacterial infection that various gram positive bacterias and gram negative bacteria cause.Streptomycin is widely used as the phthisical main medicine of treatment.Gentamycin is useful to many gram positive bacterias and Gram-negative bacteria strain, comprises pseudomonal infection, especially with the tobramycin coupling.Kanamycin is useful to many gram positive bacterias, comprises the penicillin resistance staphylococcus.A kind of side effect that limits its aminoglycoside of using clinically is verified under the requisite dosage for effect, prolongs to use the infringement renal function and cause the auditory nerve infringement, thereby causes deafness.
The translational inhibitor antibacterial agent of another kind of type is a Tetracyclines.Tetracyclines is a class antibiotic, and they are broad-spectrum and effective to various gram positive bacterias and gram negative bacteria.The example of Tetracyclines comprises tetracycline, minocycline, doxycycline and chlortetracycline.They are important to the antibacterial for the treatment of many types, but the treatment Lyme disease in particular importance.As the result of its hypotoxicity and minimum direct side effect, the medical community excess is used and is misapplied Tetracyclines and has problems.For example, excess is used drug resistance is extensively taken place.
Antibacterial agent prolongs or prevents that not charged tRNA from discharging or they both from bacterial ribosome in conjunction with 50S ribosomal subunit and by peptidyl transferase Profilin matter such as Macrolide is reversible.These chemical compounds comprise erythromycin, Roxithromycin, clarithromycin, oleandomycin and azithromycin.Erythromycin has activity to most of gram positive bacteria, neisseria (Neisseria), and Legionnella (Legionella) and Haemophilus spp (Haemophilus), but invalid to enterobacteriaceae (Enterobacteriaceae).Lincomycin and clindamycin that peptide bond in the blocking protein building-up process forms are useful to gram positive bacteria.
The translational inhibitor of another kind of type is a chloromycetin.Chloromycetin prevents the polypeptide chain growth in the protein building-up process thus in conjunction with the 70S ribosome that suppresses the bacterial enzyme peptidyl transferase.A kind of serious side effects relevant with chloromycetin is aplastic anemia.Aplastic anemia is the effectively streptomycin dosage of treatment antibacterial generation down in small scale (1/50,000) patient.In case open antibiotic, use chloromycetin hardly because of the consequence of dying from anemia so according to there be limited evidence currently of higher dosage prescription.It still is applied to life-threatening situation (for example, typhoid fever) because of its effectiveness.
Some antibacterial agent destroys the synthetic or function of nucleic acid, for example in conjunction with DNA or RNA, makes its information not read.They include, but are not limited to quinolones and bactrim, have both comprised synthetic chemicals, comprise rifomycins again, promptly natural or semi-synthetic chemicals.Quinolones is blocked bacterium DNA replication by suppressing dna gyrase, and antibacterial needs this kind of enzyme to produce its circulation DNA.They comprise norfloxacin for broad-spectrum and example, ciprofloxacin, enoxacin, nalidixan and Temafloxacin.Nalidixan is the antibacterial in conjunction with dna gyrase (topoisomerase), described enzyme be dna replication dna essential and allow superhelix lax and form again, thereby suppress the dna gyrase activity.Being mainly used in of nalidixan in treatment lower urinary tract infection (UTI), because it is to the gram negative bacteria of several types, such as escherichia coli (E.coli), clostridium perfringen (Enterobacter aerogenes), the kind of Klebsiella pneumonia (K.pneumoniae) and Proteus (Proteus) is effective, and these bacterium are the common cause of UTI.Bactrim is the drug combination of Sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim, and its blocking-up constitutes the antibacterial of the required folic acid of DNA nucleotide and closes.Rifampicin is a Ryfamycin derivative, and it has activity to gram positive bacteria (comprising the meningitis that mycobacterium tuberculosis and Neisseria meningitidis (Neisseriameningitidis) cause) and some gram negative bacteria.Rifampicin adds the requisite primary nucleotide of activated polymerization enzyme in conjunction with the beta subunit and the blocking-up of polymerase, and it is synthetic to block mRNA thus.
Another kind of antibacterial agent is the chemical compound as the bacterial enzyme competitive inhibitor.Competitive inhibitor structurally almost all with the bacterial growth factor type like and competitive the combination, but can't finish metabolic function in the cell.These chemical compounds comprise sulfonamides and even have a sulfanilamide chemical modification form higher and more broad spectrum antibiotic activity.Sulfonamides (for example sulfafurazole and trimethoprim) is used for the treatment of streptococcus pneumoniae (Streptococcus pneumoniae), uncomplicated UTI that beta hemolytic streptococcus and escherichia coli and being used for the treatment of cause because of escherichia coli and treatment meningococcal meningitis.
Antiviral agent is the chemical compound that prevents that virus infected cell or intracellular virus from duplicating.The antiviral agents that exists because virus replication is very relevant with the interior dna replication dna of host cell, makes non-specific antiviral agent toxic to the host usually far fewer than antimicrobial drug.In virus infection, there are the several stages that can be blocked or suppress by antiviral agent.These stages comprise that virus (immunoglobulin or binding peptide class) and host cell adhere to, virus uncoating (for example, shelling), virus mRNA is synthesized or (is for example translated, interferon), viral RNA or dna replication dna (for example, nucleoside analog), new virus albumen maturation (for example, protease inhibitor) and virus are sprouted and are discharged.
Another kind of antiviral agent is a nucleoside analog.Nucleoside analog is and nucleoside analogues, but has the synthetic compound of incomplete or unusual deoxyribose or ribose groups.In case nucleoside analog is in cell, they compete the triphosphoric acid form of mixing viral DNA or RNA just by phosphorylation thereby produce with normal oligodeoxynucleotide.In case the triphosphoric acid form of nucleoside analog is impregnated in the nucleic acid chains of growth, it just causes irreversibly combining with varial polymerases and taking place thus chain termination so.Nucleoside analog comprises, but be not limited to acyclovir (being used for the treatment of herpes simplex virus and varicella zoster virus), ganciclovir (being used for cytomegalovirus), idoxuridine, ribavirin (being used for the treatment of respiratory syncytial virus), didanosine, dideoxycytidine and zidovudine (Azidothymidine).
Another kind of antiviral agent comprises cytokine, such as interferon.Interferon is the cell and the excretory cytokine of immunocyte of viral infection.Interferon is by working in conjunction with the specificity health on the cell adjacent with infection cell, cause preventing that it is by the change in the cell of viral infection, α and beta-interferon be I class and the II class MHC developed by molecule on the inductive infection cell also, the antigen presentation that causes increasing is so that the host immune cell recognition can utilize α and beta-interferon as recombinant forms will be used for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B and hepatitis C.Be effective under the dosage of antiviral therapy, interferon has serious side effects, such as heating, and sense of discomfort and losing weight.
Immunoglobulin therapy is used for prophylaxis of viral infections.The immunoglobulin therapy that is used for viral infection is different from bacterial infection, because it is not an antigenic specificity, immunoglobulin therapy is by in conjunction with the extracellular virus body and prevent that it from adhering to and the cell that enters the viral infection sensitivity works.This therapy is used for the time bar that prophylaxis of viral infections antibody is present in the host, generally speaking, has two types immunoglobulin therapy, promptly general immunoglobulin therapy and hyperimmune globulin therapy.General immune albumin therapy is used the antibody product by preparation of normal blood donor's serum and collection.The product of this collection comprises extensive Human virus, such as hepatitis A, and parvovirus, enterovirus (especially in ewborn infant) hangs down titer antibody.The hyperimmune globulin therapy is used the antibody by the individual serum preparation of the titre that specific virus is had high antibody.Those antibody are useful to specific virus subsequently.The example of hyperimmune globulin comprises Z/G (chickenpox that is used for impaired child of epidemic prevention and ewborn infant), Human Rabies Immunoglobulin's (being used for) by the experimenter's of mad animal bite post-exposure prophylaxis, hepatitis B immune globulin (being used to prevent hepatitis B, the experimenter of especially contact virus) and RSV immunoglobulin (being used for the treatment of respiratory syncytial virus infection).

These methods can be in vivo or external carrying out.The external test record in an embodiment.The suitable result that reads includes, but are not limited to be used for the IL-12 that TLR8 stimulates, TNF-α and/or IFN-γ and the IFN-α that is used for the TLR7 stimulation.These algoscopys are selectively used the report construct with reporter gene, and described reporter gene is with conduction has the transcription regulatory element (for example, NF-κ B response element) of replying to connect to TLR7 and/or TLR8 signal.These constructs are described in an embodiment.These algoscopys can be measured and transcribe increment or decrement adjusting, and translation increment or decrement are regulated, protein expression and/or secretion etc.
As an example, TLR8 part algoscopy can comprise that the cell (or cell mass) that makes expression TLR8 is being with or without engaged test part in the presence of the connection oligonucleotide.Cell is preferably expresses TLR8, but does not express the cell of TLR7 or TLR9.According to cell to test ligand have or immune oligonucleotide in the presence of reply and measure the conduction of TLR8 signal.To not have then with there being oligonucleotide exists following comparing at the test ligand that enhanced TLR8 signal transport properties in the presence of the oligonucleotide is arranged to be accredited as the TLR8 part.This algoscopy comprises that also use do not express the cell analysis TLR7 signal conduction of the expression TLR7 of TLR8 or TLR9.It is in the probability that the TLR7 part that converts the conduction of TLR8 signal in the presence of the oligonucleotide to is arranged that a kind of analysis in back can be used to get rid of part.
From the similar measurement result of using known ligand as shown in Figure 12.Loxoribine and immunosine (TLR7 ligands specific) are having stimulation TLR8 signal conduction in the presence of the ODN 6056.Can estimate that the TLR7 ligands specific of inferring has similar characteristics qualitatively.The conduction of the TLR8 signal of R-848 (TLR7 and TLR8 part) is enhanced having in the presence of the ODN 6056.Can estimate that the TLR8 part of inferring has similar characteristics qualitatively.Neither TLR7, the ribavirin of non-again TLR8 part all can not stimulate the conduction of TLR8 signal being with or without in the presence of the ODN 6056, represent the specificity of described algoscopy to the TLR7/8 part.
Connection oligonucleotide algoscopy comprises to comprise makes the cell (or cell mass) of expressing TLR8 be with or without TLR7, and there are engaged test oligonucleotide down in TLR8 or TLR7/8 part.If part is TLR7 part (when using separately), this algoscopy can be measured TLR7 signal conduction inhibition and/or inductive TLR8 signal conduction when oligonucleotide and part coupling so.If part is TLR8 part (when using separately), enhanced TLR8 signal conduction is compared in the effect when this algoscopy can be determined at oligonucleotide with the part coupling so during with independent use part.If ligand stimulation TLR7 and TLR8 (when using separately), this algoscopy is measured above-mentioned among the result one or more read so.This measurement result and positive control can be measured comparison (for example using the known algoscopy that is connected oligonucleotide) etc.This method can also comprise whether be used to measure oligonucleotide self is the algoscopy of TLR7 and/or TLR8 part.
These methods can be used to identify part, and it is weak irritating when using separately, but has new and/or enhanced signal transport properties with the oligonucleotide coupling time.
Further explain the present invention by the following example, but these embodiment never should be regarded as further qualification.

The result
By hatching altogether the sequence selective of the signal conduction of TLR8 mediation is strengthened with the homopolymer oligonucleotide
The HEK293 cell of stably express hTLR8 and NF-κ B-luciferase report construct and R-848 (1-(2-hydroxy-2-methyl propyl group)-2-methyl isophthalic acid H-imidazo [4,5-c] quinoline-4 amine) are hatched being with or without in the presence of the oligonucleotide.Analyze the influence of hatching the NF-kB activation that TLR8 is mediated with different oligonucleotide altogether then.
Identified the widow (dT) of containing the D2EHDTPA main chain 17Homopolymer ODN, promptly ODN 6056, and it significantly increases the NF-kB activation level (Figure 1B) that R-848 stimulates.Independent ODN 6056 is not in that reach under the 25 μ M concentration can be at the tangible NF-kB activation of cell moderate stimulation (being no more than 2.5 times of backgrounds) (unpub data) of expressing TLR8.It is dependent that effect shows as oligonucleotide, because be not all same fully enhancing TLR8 signal conduction (for example, incoherent heteropolymer (ODN 1982) can not influence the NF-kB activation of R-848 strongly) of oligonucleotide of all tests.
R-848 and ODN 6056 are hatched altogether and have not only been increased the TLR8 effect, and have significantly improved TLR8 activation usefulness.The EC50 of R-848 have 0.1 μ M ODN 6056 (0.1 μ M ODN6056:EC50 (R-848)=4.9 μ M, promptly from three times the experiment meansigma methods; Independent EC50 (R-848)＞30 μ M) there is down significantly decline.Yet the ODN 6056 of high concentration has reduced EC50 (1 μ M ODN 6056:EC50 (R-848)=1.4 μ M more; 5 μ M ODN:EC50 (R-848)=0.4 μ M).This effect is specific to ODN 6056, because descend quite lowly (5 μ M 1982:EC50 (R-848)=19.0 μ M) for ODN 1982 EC50.Opposite with the stimulation to TLR8, ODN 6056 (or ODN 1982) is hatched the NF-κ B that can not influence the CpG mediation altogether with the TLR9 part CpG ODN 2006 on the HEK293 cell of expressing hTLR9 stimulates (unpub data).
Study the possible sequence that is used for observed potentiation and required and tested several different D2EHDTPA ester homopolymers (table 1).Few (dT) 17(ODN 6056) have the strongest promotion characteristic, are few (dU) subsequently 17(SEQ ID NO:11) and few (dA) 17(SEQ ID NO:12).To few (dC) 17(SEQ ID NO:13) and randomization widow (dN) 15The enhancing that has detected significance descends.Heteropolymer ODN 1982 only shows minimum increased activity, and few (dG) 24(SEQ IDNO:14) do not have enhanced activity, but suppresses the NF-κ B stimulation of R-848 mediation.Sequence with ODN 6056 of phosphodiester backbone does not influence the stimulation of TLR8 mediation.The length of oligonucleotide also shows has influence: few (dA) 24(SEQ ID NO:15) is lower than widow (dA) with the synergism that R-848 shows 17(SEQ ID NO:12).
In the stimulation that has TLR7 ligands specific in the presence of the homopolymer T oligonucleotide to the cell of expressing TLR8
R-848 is the part (16) of hTLR7 and hTLR8, and loxoribine (7-pi-allyl-7,8-dihydro-8 oxos-guanosine) is described as TLR7 ligands specific (18).The loxoribine that concentration reaches 10mM can not activate with the conduction of the NF-κ B signal in the HEK293 cell of hTLR8 or hTLR9 transfection, but the signal conduction (Fig. 2 A) of activation hTLR7 mediation.Although be the TLR7 part, will express the HEK293 cell of hTLR8 and loxoribine and oligonucleotide and hatch altogether and activated NF-κ B signal conduction (Fig. 2 B).This concentration dependent effect is only having ODN 6056, but not ODN 1982 observes (Fig. 2 B) under existing.Use another kind of TLR7 part, the 7-denitrogenation is assorted-and guanosine similarly observes (18).Independent 7-denitrogenation is assorted-and guanosine reaching 5mM concentration and do not having in the presence of the ODN 6056 expressing the cell non-activity of hTLR8, but the NF-kB activation that stimulation TLR8 mediates in the presence of the ODN 6056 is being arranged.The ODN 6056 that also will show on the HEK293 cell of chemical compound inosine (unpub data) that activates the NF-κ B signal conduction in the HEK293 cell in non-specific mode and the hTLR8 that expresses is hatched (Fig. 2 C) altogether.Inosine changes having in the presence of the ODN6056 activation of NF-κ B do not compared with the non-specific activation of the inosine that reaches 10mM concentration.
Use has been observed similar effect based on the chemical compound 6-amino-9-benzyl-2-butoxy-9H-purine-8-alcohol of adenosine.When using separately, this chemical compound is the TLR7 part, but is not TLR8 part (Fig. 9 A and 9B).Poly-(dT) arranged 17Connect oligonucleotide and exist when using down, its concentration stimulates TLR8 signal conduction (Fig. 9 B).
The sequence dependent of TLR7 signal conduction suppresses
These data representation micromolecule TLR7 part is induced TLR8 dependency NF-κ B signal conduction having in the presence of some oligonucleotide.However, still in the HEK293 cell of expressing TLR7, effect is opposite.Oligonucleotide is in fact as Figure 1A, 3 and 9A shown in suppress NF-kB activation by the TLR7 mediation of TLR7 ligands specific and TLR7/8 part.This effect shows as sequence-non-specific, because suppress hTLR7 activation (unpub data) in the phosphorothioate oligonucleotide of all tests up to now.
The TLR8 part signal conduction of using RNA to connect oligonucleotide strengthens
Use R-848 similarly to test with the oligonucleotide that is connected based on RNA as the TLR7/8 part.Figure 10 represents blended sequence oligonucleotides and poly-(rU) 18The effect that oligonucleotide stimulates NF-κ B in the hTLR8-LUC-293 cell.Poly-(rU) 18Oligonucleotide (rU *RU *RU *RU *RU *RU *RU *RU *RU *RU *RU *RU *RU *RU *RU *RU *RU *RU; SEQ ID NO:5) when using separately, passes through the TLR8 conducted signal, as (Figure 10) of using this oligonucleotide that the slight activation of NF-κ B is confirmed.Blended sequence RNA oligonucleotide (rG *RC *RC *RA *RC *RC *RG *RA *RG *RC *RC *RG *RA *RA *RG *RG *RC *RA *RC *RC; SEQ ID NO:16) when using separately, can not pass through the TLR8 conducted signal.
In Figure 11, the R-848 of hTLR8-LUC-HEK293 cell and recruitment is hatched having in the presence of the following material: (a) TE and 50 μ g/ml DOTAP, or (b) ORN shown in the 5 μ M are having in the presence of the 50 μ g/ml DOTAP.After 16 hours, determine the stimulation of NF-κ B by measuring uciferase activity.Reference only has the background under the culture medium existence to calculate stimulation index.The figure shows poly-(rU) 18Oligonucleotide to TLR8 signal conduction act on this oligonucleotide and R-848 coupling the time significantly strengthened (Figure 11).Neither TLR7, the blended sequence RNA oligonucleotide of non-again TLR8 part also strengthens the conduction of TLR8 signal by R-848 as shown in Figure 11.Tables of data Benq also can be used as junctional complex in the oligonucleotide of RNA and works.
Loxoribine and few (dT) 17ODN is hatched altogether and is changed the cytokine characteristic that the human PBMC produces
Studied loxoribine and ODN 6056 and 1982 and hatched effect altogether people's immunocyte.Hatching with independent loxoribine has stimulated the human PBMC to produce IFN-α (Fig. 4 A).Yet, having in the presence of the ODN that increases concentration, the inductive IFN-α of loxoribine reduces to background level.Although use ODN all to observe this effect, ODN 6056 seems based on stronger inhibitory action.
Also studied other production of cytokines.Independent loxoribine only induces minimum IL-12p40 to secrete (Fig. 4 B) from the human PBMC.On the contrary, having in the presence of the ODN 6056, IL-12p40 produces in a large number, and the ODN 1982 of same concentrations can not induce the IL-12p40 that is higher than the background that uses the single culture base with loxoribine.IL-12p70 (unpub data) and IFN-γ have been obtained similar result (Fig. 4 C).When being hatched altogether, loxoribine and ODN 6056 also stimulated TNF-α to produce.Yet, when ODN 1982 is hatched altogether with loxoribine, observed TNF-α and produced, but, be starkly lower than the result of hatching acquisition with ODN 6056 altogether.There is not a kind of TNF-α secretion (Fig. 4 D) of inducing significant level in independent ODN and the loxoribine.
Using loxoribine and widow (dT) 17Mononuclear cell produced IL-12p40 and TNF-α when ODN stimulated altogether
The combination of loxoribine and ODN has activated and has expressed the HEK293 cell of TLR8, but has suppressed the signal conduction of TLR7 mediation.According to inferring main source and the positive pDCs of TLR7-that people TLR8-positive immunocyte is IL-12 and TNF-α is the main source of IFN-α.FACS dyeing does not disclose most of CD 14+ cell generation TNF-α (Fig. 5 A) when the human PBMC is hatched altogether with loxoribine and ODN 6056 in the born of the same parents.Independent loxoribine or only produce the positive mononuclear cell of a small amount of TNF-with ODN 1982 combination.The positive monocytic percentage ratio of IL-12-is lower than the percentage ratio of TNF-α.Yet the synergism of loxoribine and ODN 6056 combinations can obviously detect (Fig. 5 B) to IL-12 in the born of the same parents.When using ODN and loxoribine to stimulate, once can in CD 19+B cell, not detect IL-12 or TNF-α (unpub data) in the born of the same parents in three experiments.Also studied the cell source of IFN-γ.Loxoribine and ODN combination of stimulation high IL-12 level, and studies confirm that formerly IL-12 induces the IFN-γ secretion (21-23) in the NK cell.Therefore, in NK cells of human beings, estimate IFN-γ and produce (Fig. 6).In fact, IFN-γ in the NK cell produces and can observe when human PBMC and loxoribine and ODN 6056 are hatched altogether, but, independent stimulation can not induced as producing by the obvious IFN-γ that is confirmed from the IFN-γ protein ELISA of human PBMC's supernatant.
In order to confirm the stimulation as the monocytic direct TLR mediation that loxoribine and ODN 6056 are replied, purification is hatched being with or without in the presence of ODN 6056 or 1982 from human PBMC's mononuclear cell and with loxoribine.Isolating mononuclear cell only produces IL-12p40 (Fig. 7 A) or TNF-α (unpub data) conduct replying two kinds of stimulus object loxoribines and ODN 6056 combinations.
Human PBMC and little immunomodulatory compounds class R-848 or Luo Suoli are hatched the IFN-α that induces pDCs and are produced (Fig. 7 B and (24,25)).Therefore, ODN 6056 has been become the direct result of the signal conduction inhibition of TLR7 mediation among the pDCs by the inhibitory action to IFN-α generation of loxoribine stimulation.In order to study this probability, separation of human pDCs and use loxoribine are having widow (dT) 17Homopolymer or heteropolymer ODN (Fig. 7 B) exist down to be stimulated.The people pDC of enrichment with but loxoribine produce a large amount of IFN-α when hatching.On the contrary, having eliminated IFN-α when hatching altogether with ODN 6056 or ODN 1982 produces.In addition, the inhibitory action of ODN 6056 shows as the inhibitory action that is better than ODN 1982, because it is lower to eliminate the required ODN concentration of IFN-α generation.
Fig. 8 represents to use the data of TLR8-LUC-293 cell generation.Use the R-848 (50 micromole) of constant density and the appointment ODN of recruitment.The luciferase of independent R-848 is read the result be set at standardized 100%.The result is shown in left group.Fig. 8 right group is represented the effect in the poly-C oligonucleotide of the 1 micromole 17mer of T content in the presence of the R-848 of recruitment is arranged that increases.Even use two kinds of thymidines all to strengthen active and use that thymidine is active more than 6 kinds or 6 kinds significantly increases.
Discuss
Data acknowledgement of the present invention can have the ability of regulating hTLR8 in the presence of some D2EHDTPA ODN.HTLR8 is the most approaching relevant with hTLR7 (26), as (16) that ability reflected of little immune-stimulating compound R-848 activation hTLR7 and hTLR8.Yet hTLR7 is more more responsive than hTLR8 to the stimulation of R-848, because the R-848 concentration that the TLR7 activation needs is lower.R848 and D2EHDTPA widow (dT) 17Hatch altogether and make TLR8 more responsive and suppress the TLR7 activation, but this independent T homopolymer is to any not significantly effect among these TLR the stimulation of R848.
Whether can influence the TLR activation of other stimulus object in order to measure the T homopolymer, study it two kinds of TLR7 parts, i.e. loxoribine and 7-denitrogenation be assorted-effect of guanosine, they do not stimulate TLR8 (18).Surprisingly, with regard to two kinds of parts, few (dT) 17Existence cause converting TLR8 dependency NF-kB activation fully to wherein few (dT) from TLR7- 17Suppress the signal conduction of TLR7 mediation.Possible situation is, the weak affine combination that people TLR8 can the gene pairs loxoribine, and its possibly can't detect in available bioassary method.The existence of some oligonucleotide can strengthen the affinity of loxoribine to TLR8 by unknown mechanism, makes the TLR8 that can detect the loxoribine mediation in the stable transfected cells stimulate.
Can not get rid of oligonucleotide to the conduction of general signal by way of or the probability of picked-up mechanism influence.Yet, few (dT) 17To using hTLR7 (conduction of NF-κ B signal suppresses), the HEK293 cell of hTLR9 (no effect) or hTLR8 (the strong enhancing of signal conduction) transfection has this fact of different model of action and has come down hard upon this probability.Observed synergism is not limited to the cell of unconventionality expression TLR8.People TLR7 mainly expresses in pDCs and B cell.These cells are not expressed TLR8, and TLR8 expresses (27-30) in medullary cell.In fact, measure people's immunocyte, such as the synergism of loxoribine in the mononuclear cell and the ODN pair cell factor (IL-12 and TNF-α) generation with endogenous TLR8 expression.On the contrary, the inductive IFN-α of most of loxoribine and R-848 produces (our data and (4,24,25)) by the activation of the TLR7 among the people pDC.IFN-α among these TLR7 stimulus object activation pDC produces and is subjected to suppressing fully because of hatching with D2EHDTPA ODN, and this is consistent with observed inhibitory action in the TLR7-cells transfected.D2EHDTPA ODN suppresses not have the obvious sequence dependency in the signal conduction of TLR7 mediation in transfectional cell or pDC, this with to the observed sequence of TLR8-the selective stimulating effect is opposite.The combination of ODN and loxoribine not only causes converting mononuclear cell-deutero-IL-12 and TNF-α to from the deutero-IFN-α of pDC-, and causes IFN-γ to secrete from the NK cell.NK cells of human beings lacks TLR7 and TLR8 expresses (31), and making that the stimulation of NK cell-deutero-IFN-γ shows as may be by the indirect action (32) of IL-12 mediation.When simply adding some oligonucleotide, observed the change fully of the immunization characteristic of loxoribine mediation jointly.In addition, these data have been pointed out to use and have been certain sequence dependent effect of the ODN that is rich in D2EHDTPA T of the most effective ODN, and described ODN can be with the coupling of TLR7 ligands specific so that activation TLR8.
Some reports show TLR7 and the TLR8 (27-29) on bone marrow dendritic cell and the monocytes mRNA level.There are not the available data that are illustrated in actual TLR protein expression in these cells.In these experiments, do not detect loxoribine to monocytic direct stimulation.On the contrary, only the combination of loxoribine and oligonucleotide induces mononuclear cell-deutero-cytokine to produce.These results have opposed that the functional expression of TLR7 in mononuclear cell will point out that TLR8 is as by the receptor of oligonucleotide and loxoribine targeting.In addition, independent loxoribine can not induced a large amount of IL-12, but has reported and produce IL-12 (29) among the inductive human PBMC of R-848, the ability consistent (16) that this stimulates TLR with R-848.It is very difficult to notable difference to use the chemical compound that stimulates two kinds of healths to activate TLR in the cell that can express TLR7 and TLR8.Ito etc. (33) have reported that mDC produces IL-12, but does not produce IFN-α when using R-848 to stimulate.On the contrary, when using R-848 or other TLR ligand stimulation, pDC does not produce IL-12, but does not produce IFN-α (25), has shown that induce the IFN-α among pDCss that with TLR7 mediate of IL-12 in mDC of TLR8 mediation induces.Even R-848 or loxoribine and widow (dT) 17ODN is hatched altogether and also can not caused people pDC to produce IL-12, this prompting sort signal be not enough to activate among the pDC suitably by way of.
What cause concern is to infer model, wherein some TLR can have (may for allosteric) oligonucleotide can in conjunction with and the regulatory site that works of action effect molecule.With regard to TLR7, phosphorothioate oligonucleotide shows as antagonist and works.Therefore the TLR7 of oligonucleotide binding can suppress the TLR7 part combine with it capsule in conjunction with or for example, conducted by intravital correct conformational change correction downstream signal by aggravation.On the other hand, the oligonucleotide that is rich in T combine with TLR8 can be used as can increase R-848 or other micromolecule part class loxoribine combine with active TLR8 capsule in conjunction with or (allosteric) activator of increasing the downstream signal conduction work.Can not determine it is to have relate to two kinds at present, combination of micromolecule part and effect ODN combination still on same loci, occur in conjunction with the territory.The allosteric enhancer of known receptor from several different families.For example, Knoflach etc. (34) have reported as metabotropic glutamate receptors, i.e. the evaluation of two micromoleculars that work of the allosteric promoter of a large amount of G albumen coupling health families.The labor of receptor structure is positioned promoter binding site in the membrane spaning domain.Other allosteric promoter that studies show that micromolecule can be used as muscarinic acetylcholine recep-tor work (35).Some 2-aminothiophene class as adenosine receptor A1 allosteric promoter by stablizing ligand-receptor-G-albumen ternary complex and increasing empty receptor and G-protein binding (38) work (36,37).Interesting is that Gao etc. (39) find that a series of imidazoquinolies are derived so that work as the allosteric promoter that is combined in the agonist on the people A3 adenosine receptor.(40) such as recent Rutz use the surface plasmon resonance biosensor analysis to confirm directly to block with micromolecule the TLR9 protein binding of CpG ODN and purification.Their discovery shows that these molecules directly combine with the TLR9 extracellular domain, thereby the antagonist that conducts as the signal that TLR9 mediates works.Therefore, described oligonucleotide and micromolecule can be directly in conjunction with TLR7 and 8.That uses isolating protein and corresponding receptors ligand can further have insight into the definite mechanism of action of the combination of micromolecule TLR part and oligonucleotide to TLR7 or TLR8 in conjunction with research.These find the molecular signal transmission mechanism of understanding TLR and drug research and medicament research and development significant.The present invention has confirmed that the signaling activity of two member TLR8 of TLR family and TLR7 can be by existing or non-existent some oligonucleotide is handled.These results have pointed out the new mode of use loxoribine (or other micromolecule) with the combination change immunne response of some oligonucleotide jointly.Combination by these molecules can be oriented to the cytokine characteristic that different TLR change TLR micromolecule part again by making its signal conduction.The immunne response that changes or strengthen may be useful to the treatment various diseases.
