Description

PEGization recombinant human IFN-λ 1, Preparation Method And The Use
Technical field
The present invention relates to biological technical field.More specifically, relate to a kind of Interferon, rabbit obtaining by recombinant technology and chemical modification technology, and its production and use.Relate in particular to a kind of recombinant human IFN-λ 1, its preparation method and the purposes in the medicine of preparation treatment chronic hepatitis B or liver cancer thereof of pegylation.
Background technology
Interferon, rabbit-λ s(IFN-λ is s) a class new forms of interferon, classification be decided to be type iii interferon, by IFN-λ 1(IL-29), IFN-λ 2(IL-28A) and IFN-λ 3(IL-28B) form.2003 by American scientist reported first this type Interferon, rabbit (people such as Sheppard P., 2003; Kotenko1S.V. wait people, 2003).
IFN-λ gene is positioned at karyomit(e) No. 19, contains multiple introns in gene, and its gene structure and IL-10 family member are quite similar, and differ greatly with IFN-α.On amino acid composition, IFN-λ s also only has the amino acid of 15-19% identical with IFN-α.However, IFN-λ s is quite similar with IFN-α in function, can suppress copying of hepatitis B/hepatitis C virus (HBV/HCV), can also suppress activity people such as (, 2005) Bobek M.D. of the virus such as encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV), human cytomegalic inclusion disease virus (CMV), lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV), hsv (HSV-2).Except antiviral activity, in cytologic experiment, IFN-λ s can suppress the propagation of neuroendocrine tumor, the esophageal carcinoma, colorectal carcinoma, lung cancer and Burkitt ' s lymphoma cell and melanoma cell, and existing in Mice Body, suppress mouse tumor cell as the report of melanoma, fibrosarcoma and hepatoma cell proliferation people such as (, 2010) Abushahba W. by transferring host's immunologic mechanism with mIFN-λ s.
The acceptor of IFN-λ s belongs to II type cytokines receptor family, and the heterodimer mixture special by structure forms.IL-28R α is aglucon binding subunit, has determined the specificity that acceptor is combined with IFN-λ, and IL-10 β R is auxiliary subunit.I type IFN(IFN-α/β from wide expression) acceptor is different, the expression of IFN-λ acceptor has cell-specific, mainly be expressed in surface epithelial cell, for example all cells in liver is all expressed the acceptor of IFN-α, and the acceptor of IFN-λ is only at liver cell expression.Comprise all wide expression IFN-α acceptors such as T lymphocyte, bone-marrow-derived lymphocyte, NK cell, neutrophil leucocyte and monocyte at peripheral blood lymphocyte equally, but except the expression (people such as Muir A.J., 2010) of IFN-λ acceptor not detected in the external hematopoietic cell of bone-marrow-derived lymphocyte.The otherness that this different I FN family receptors distributes will affect IFN effect in vivo, compared with toxic side effect with the I type IFN generally using clinically at present in treatment and tolerance are poor, IFN-λ s has potential advantage, can effectively reduce the toxic side effect to hematopoiesis and central nervous system in bioactive whiles such as bringing into play antiviral, antitumor and participation immunomodulatory.
But IFN is similar with I type, IFN-λ s relative molecular mass less (being about 20kD), is easy to by glomerular filtration; Unstable in body, easily by proteasome degradation, plasma half-life is short; Treatment cycle is long, need to frequently inject, and causes patient's interdependence to reduce; Also there is Immunogenicity in the recombinant protein class biotechnological formulation as allos system expression.All these likely weakens the clinical effectiveness of IFN-λ s.
Polyoxyethylene glycol (polyethylene glycol, PEG) is the polymkeric substance of a kind of nontoxicity, non-immunogenicity, safety.Since the seventies in last century, to have developed the technology of carrying the most in vivo polypeptide and pharmaceutical grade protein with PEG chain covalent coupling modifying protein.The benefit of PEG modifying protein in treatment comprises:
-increase protein molecular weight, extend plasma half-life thereby reduce glomerular filtration rate(GFR;
-increase protein physical and chemical stability, reduce the degraded of proteolytic enzyme;
-reduce toxicity and limited the immunogenicity of protein;
-increase the solubility of pharmaceutical grade protein;
-by improving pharmaceutical grade protein dynamic performance, compared with unmodified protein matter medicine, effectively strengthen medicine activity (people such as Veronese FM, 2005) in vivo.Mainly to adopt mono methoxy PEG molecule (mono-methoxy PEG to the PEGization modifying method of protein; mPEG) with protein surface reactive group covalent coupling; its main modification approach is that N-terminal amino or lysine side-chain amino are carried out to acidylate modification, but this modification mode easily produces heterogeneity (being isomer mixture).
Liver cancer is one of modal malignant tumour, worldwide in kinds of tumor mortality ratio, ranks the 3rd.The whole world has every year and exceedes the newly-increased liver cancer patients of 600,000 example, and wherein approximately 55% patient is in China.It is the most important Hazard Factor of induced hepatocellular carcinoma that chronic HBV (HBV) infects, and has HBV to infect history (Yang, the people such as J.D, 2010 at the liver cancer patient of China nearly 80%; Parkin, the people such as D.M., 2005).IFN-α is considered to effectively clinically for anti-HBV treatment, is also of value to prevention HBV and infects relevant liver cancer.But still have clinically the Patients with Chronic HBV Infection of significant proportion to IFN-α treatment nonreply, and patient Chang Yinwei occurs that the toxicity, side effect that is difficult to tolerance comprises fatigue, heating, apocleisis, dysthymia disorders and bone marrow depression etc. and interrupts the treatment of IFN-α.Especially IFN-λ 1(IL-29 of IFN-λ s) can excite antiviral activity by the IFN-λ acceptor at surface of hepatocytes specifically expressing, suppress HBV virus replication, prompting IFN-λ 1 can be used for the treatment of chronic HBV infection and HBV and infect relevant liver cancer patient people such as (, 2006) Doyle SE..

Table 2. experimental design
Note: administration volume: 10 μ l/g body weight; NS: physiological saline; Qd: be administered once every day; Q4d: be administered once for every four days; Q7d: be administered once weekly.
In experimentation, routine monitoring comprises tumor growth and the impact for the treatment of on animal normal behaviour, and the reactivity of laboratory animal, ingests and drinking-water situation, body weight change situation (measuring weekly 2 times), eyes, quilt hair and other abnormal conditions.According to the weight of animals change and death condition carry out safety evaluation, according to relative tumor proliferation rate (T/C(%)) and the tumor growth delay time (T-C) carry out therapeutic evaluation.
Gross tumor volume proliferation rate T/C(%): at point sometime, the percent value for the treatment of group and control group gross tumor volume.T and C are respectively treatment group and the control group gross tumor volume average at a certain particular point in time.
Calculation formula is as follows: T/C(%)=T tV/ C tV* 100%(T tV: treatment group gross tumor volume average; C tV: negative control group gross tumor volume average).
Tumour T-C time of lag: refer to that (this experiment is 1200mm to tumor growth to certain volume 3) time, the number of days that treatment group postpones than control group.T is the mean tumour volume for the treatment of group required number of days while reaching particular value; C is the average knurl volume of control group required number of days while reaching same sample value.T-C value is larger, and time of lag is longer, illustrates that drug effect is better; Vice versa.
The situation of each treatment group and control group mice gross tumor volume growth change is shown in Fig. 6.Result show, without PEG modify rhIFN-λ 1(administration every day) the subcutaneous liver cancer tumor growth of tumor bearing nude mice is had to certain restraining effect, but restraining effect a little less than.When administration finishes, T/C(%) value is respectively 79.3%(3a group) and 79.1%(4a group), compared with negative control group mouse tumor volume, difference does not have significance.
Compared with PEGization rhIFN-λ 1 does not act on, PEG-rhIFN-λ 1(administration number of times reduces), but the restraining effect of the subcutaneous liver cancer tumor growth of tumor bearing nude mice is to dose-dependent effect.When administration finishes, 0.1mg/kg and 2.5mg/kg group T/C(%) value is respectively 85.31%(3b group) and 54.84%(4b group), wherein 2.5mg/kg(4b group) gross tumor volume has the difference (P=0.002) of highly significant compared with negative control group, and gross tumor volume reaches 1200mm 3time postponed 13 days than negative control group.
PEG-rhIFN-λ 1 and chemotherapeutic Dx share effective than independent use chemotherapeutic, when administration finishes, 0.1mg/kg and 2.5mg/kg PEG-rhIFN-λ 1 respectively with the T/C(% of chemotherapeutic combination group) value is 65.59%(5 group) and 64.29%(6 group), use separately the T/C(% of chemotherapeutic group) be worth for 74.81%(2 group), PEG-rhIFN-λ 1 is all significantly less than negative control group (P value is respectively 0.016 and 0.012) with two groups of gross tumor volumes that chemotherapeutic is share, and gross tumor volume reaches 1200mm 3time postponed respectively 7.5 days and 6.5 days (table 3) than negative control group.
The each treatment group gross tumor volume of table 3. T/C(%) value and T-C time of lag
Note: a. mean+/-standard error; B. relative tumour volume is compared to negative control group.
The safety results of PEG-rhIFN-λ 1 to Hep3B people's Hepatic neoplasm model: experimental session, negative control group mouse tumor inoculation after 21 days weight loss exceed 10%, illustrate that this animal model has obvious malignant tumor matter feature.Each administration group body weight and negative control group compare without significant difference, and do not occur drug toxicity reaction; Negative control group and each administration group stop experiment on the 36th day in cell inoculation, and mouse has carried out euthanasia and dissected, and main organs is no abnormal, shows the better tolerance of mouse to rhIFN-λ 1 and PEG-rhIFN-λ 1, and drug safety is good.After different treatment groups and control group administration, body weight change is in table 4.
The each treatment group of table 4. and control group body weight change situation
Note: a. mean+/-standard error.
Embodiment 10, PEG-rhIFN-λ 1 detection to serum HBsAg in liver cancer cell Hep3B xenotransplantation tumor model under fell
Because human hepatoma cell strain Hep3B has HBV genome conformity, sustainable generation HBsAg can detect the people such as HBsAg(Knowles BB., 1980 while carrying out xenotransplantation tumor experiment from tumor bearing nude mice serum).When experimentation on animals stops, collect mice serum ,-80 DEG C of preservations, adopt HBsAg-ELISA detection kit (Shanghai Kehua Bio-engineering Co., Ltd) to analyze the HBsAg content in mice serum.
The results are shown in Figure 7, in 1 group of mice serum of rhIFN-λ that 2.5mg/kg modifies without PEG, the content of HBsAg is compared with negative control group, only decline 4.7%, and rhIFN-λ 1 is after PEG modifies, can effectively strengthen anti-HBV effect, suppress Hep3B emiocytosis HBsAg, in 0.1mg/kg and 1 group of mice serum of 2.5mg/kg PEG-rhIFN-λ, the content of HBsAg has declined respectively 28.5% and 62.5%, wherein the content of 2.5mg/kg group HBsAg in serum has the difference (P=0.000) of very significant compared with negative control group, show that New PEG-rhIFN-λ 1 provided by the present invention has the effect of sure anti HBV infecting.
