A kind of gel rubber sustained-release system and application thereof of leptin
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of gel rubber sustained-release system of medicine.Particularly, the invention discloses the method for preparing and the application thereof of the chitosan-mono methoxy polyethylene glycol gel delivery system of leptin.
Background technology
Chitosan (chitosan) is a kind of acetyl derivative that takes off of chitin, is a large amount of alkaline polysaccharides that exist of nature, and bio-toxicity is little; Have the favorable tissue compatibility, biodegradability and adhesion, obtained deep research and used [Shi X W, Du Y M widely in medical science, field of biology; Sun L P; Et al.Macromolecular Bioscience, 2005,5:881889].Chitosan also is a kind of ideal medical embedded material [Khor E, Lim L Y.Biomaterials, 2003,24:23392349].But in the ordinary course of things, chitosan only is dissolved in the acidic aqueous solution, in neutrality or alkaline solution, can form the deposition of similar gels, and this process and temperature relation are little.But Recent study finds, through adding basic salt, hydroxyl polymer-containing or chitosan being carried out derivatization and graft reaction, can obtain having the chitosan-based physical gel of temperature sensitivity.Solution keeps solution state under physiological pH (7.0) and room temperature, and rapid gelation when temperature rises to body temperature (37 ℃).
(Methoxy Polyethylene Glycol mPEG) has good water-solubility, wettability, lubricity, physiology inertia to mono methoxy polyethylene glycol, and is non-stimulated, gentle to human body, in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals industry, is widely used, and molecular weight is 2KD.In the acid solution of chitosan, add an amount of mono methoxy polyethylene glycol and with the proton of chitosan chitosan is precipitated in can be not at once, can make the pH value of chitosan solution rise to physiological range be about pH7.0.Under cryogenic conditions, the effect of chitosan and water has stoped the gathering of chitosan chain; When temperature raise, the structuring effect of mono methoxy polyethylene glycol and water (this interaction energy weakens the effect of chitosan and water) was strengthened, and made the dehydration of chitosan chain, and the zone of hydrone is replaced by the hydroxyl group of Polyethylene Glycol, the chitosan chain aggregation.
The biological activity of chitosan and PEG and biocompatibility are very clear and definite, aspect drug-supplying system, important use are arranged, and existing a lot of work combine the carrier as medicine with chitosan and PEG.[Bhattarai N, Ramay H R, Gunn J such as Bhattarai; Et al.Journal of Controlled Release; 2005,103:609 624] with the situ-gel material of these two kinds of materials combination preparations, as model drug the release in vitro function of this gel is investigated with BSA; Drug release reached more than 40 days, and the structure of BSA is not seen change in the dispose procedure.
1994; People such as the Zhang [Zhang of Rockefeller university; Et al.Positional cloning of the mouse obese gene and it ' s human homologue.Nature; 1994,372:425~426] utilize molecular biology method successfully to clone mice and people's ob gene.This gene is mainly expressed in the white adipose cell, product be a kind of by 167 amino acid residues form, molecular weight 16000 daltonian proteohormones.Because of making animal, this material reduces, so be named as " leptin (Leptin) "." Leptin " comes from Greece's word " Leptos " and means " thin ".Obese type (ob/ob) mice is because its ob gene in the sudden change of the 105th generation by C → T, makes the arginine codon CGA in this site change termination codon TGA into.This sudden change makes ob gene expression product loss of activity, has not promptly had leptin secretion, so the obesity of showing as.
Leptin in the blood circulation is 146 amino acid whose peptide hormones, and its active site contains 146 amino acid residues, and relative molecular mass is 16KD, and hydrophilic is strong, is present in the blood plasma with monomeric form.Similar with the secretion of other hormones, the secretion of leptin also is pulsed.Leptin mRNA expresses and is the diurnal periodicity variation, and night, expression was the highest, and the half-life is that its secretion of 9.4 ± 3.0min has certain rhythmicity.Leptin is a kind of many target organs, a function protein hormones widely, and its major physiological function comprises: suppress to ingest, increase energy expenditure; Regulate growth promoter; Short epithelial cell, angiogenic growth; Influence bone reconstruction etc.
Leptin has and reduces animal appetite, improves energy metabolism efficient, increases energy consumption, reduces the fat storage, and effect such as lose weight.People such as Haalas [Haalas; Et al.Weight-reduction effects of the plasma protein encoded by the obese gene.Science; 1995,269:543~546] give ob/ob injected in mice gene recombinaton leptin, its body weight significantly descends.Inject leptin to mouse peritoneal every day, and the feed intake of ob/ob mice descends than matched group behind the 4d, and weight loss reaches 40% after 60%, 4 week.Simultaneously, the activity of mice increase, metabolism reinforcement, plasma insulin and blood sugar level reduce.
People such as Khalid [Khalid; Et al.Leptin treatment rescues t he sterility of genetically chese ob/ob males.Endocrinology; 1997,138:1190~1193] report, the ob/ob mice is except obesity; Also have a marked feature, i.e. genital atrophy and sterile throughout one's life.The injection of exogenous leptin can make the puberty of rat shift to an earlier date, and shows that leptin plays an important role to the puberty startup of animal.
But leptin stimulation in rats bone marrow stem cell propagation is with the propagation of the collaborative hemopoietic cell of granulocyte stimulating factor.Angiogenesis factor synergism such as leptin and VEGF and fibroblast growth factor promote angiogenesis in addition.
Leptin can significantly improve level and the proteinic secretion thereof of bone protected protein (OPG) mRNA; Reduce the level of nucleus factor K B receptor activation factor aglucon (RANKL) mRNA; Thereby the activation, the maturation that suppress osteoclast; The bone of prompting leptin scalable rat is rebuild, and helps bone formation, prevents the bone loss that removal ovary causes.
For improving the leptin half-life in vivo; The present invention is according to the physicochemical property of chitosan and mono methoxy polyethylene glycol; Optimize the condition that in the past prepares chitosan and mono methoxy polyethylene glycol hydrogel system, successfully prepared the high performance Atrigel of leptin.
