Description

PEGization recombined human IFN-λ 1, Preparation Method And The Use
Technical field
The present invention relates to biological technical field.More specifically, relate to one and pass through recombinant technique The interferon that obtains with chemical modification technology, and its production and use.Particularly relate to one Plant the recombined human IFN-λ 1 of pegylation, its preparation method and treat chronic in preparation Purposes in the medicine of hepatitis B or hepatocarcinoma.
Background technology
Interferon-λ s(IFN-λ s) it is a class new forms of interferon, classification is set to type iii interferon, By IFN-λ 1(IL-29), IFN-λ 2(IL-28A) and IFN-λ 3(IL-28B) form.2003 Year by American scientist reported first this type interferon (Sheppard P. et al., 2003; Kotenko1S.V. et al., 2003).
IFN-λ gene is positioned at No. 19 chromosomes, and containing multiple introns in gene, its gene is tied Structure is quite similar with IL-10 family member, and differs greatly with IFN-α.On aminoacid forms, The aminoacid of IFN-λ s also only 15-19% is identical with IFN-α.While it is true, IFN-λ s exists Functionally quite similar with IFN-α, hepatitis B/hepatitis C virus can be suppressed (HBV/HCV) duplication, it is also possible to suppress encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV), people big and small Cellular virus (CMV), lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV), herpes simplex The activity (Bobek M.D. et al., 2005) of the viruses such as virus (HSV-2).Except antiviral Outside activity, in cytologic experiment, IFN-λ s can suppress neuroendocrine tumor, the esophageal carcinoma, Colon cancer, pulmonary carcinoma and Burkitt ' s lymphoma cell and the propagation of melanoma cell, and Useful mIFN-λ s suppresses mouse tumor cell by the immunologic mechanism of transfer host in Mice Body As melanoma, fibrosarcoma and hepatoma cell proliferation report (Abushahba W. et al., 2010).
The receptor of IFN-λ s belongs to II type cytokines receptor family, the allos two special by structure Dimeric complexes forms.IL-28R α is aglucon binding subunit, determines receptor and is combined with IFN-λ Specificity, IL-10 β R is auxiliary subunit.I type IFN(IFN-α/β with wide expression) it is subject to Body is different, and the expression of IFN-λ receptor has cell-specific, is mainly expressed in surface epithelial cell, The such as all cells in liver all expresses the receptor of IFN-α, and the receptor of IFN-λ is only liver Cell is expressed.T lymphocyte, bone-marrow-derived lymphocyte, NK is included equally in peripheral blood lymphocyte All wide expression IFN-α receptors such as cell, neutrophilic granulocyte and mononuclear cell, but it is in addition to B The external hematopoietic cell of lymphocyte is not detected by expression (the Muir A.J. etc. of IFN-λ receptor People, 2010).The diversity of this different IFN family receptors distribution will affect IFN in vivo Effect, with I type IFN commonly used clinically at present toxic and side effects in treatment and tolerance Property difference compare, IFN-λ s has potential advantage, it is possible to playing antiviral, antitumor and ginseng With bioactive poison simultaneously effective reduced hemopoietic and central nervous system such as immunomodulating Side effect.
But similar with I type IFN, IFN-λ s relative molecular mass less (about 20kD), It is prone to by glomerular filtration;Internal instability, is easily easily degraded by proteases, and plasma half-life is short; Treatment cycle is long, needs frequently injection, causes the interdependence of patient to reduce;As Heterologous System The Recombinant protein biological preparation expressed there is also Immunogenicity.All these it is likely to Weaken the clinical effectiveness of IFN-λ s.
Polyethylene Glycol (polyethylene glycol, PEG) be a kind of avirulence, non-immunogenicity, The polymer of safety.With PEG chain covalent coupling modifying protein be from the seventies in last century with Develop polypeptide and the technology of pharmaceutical grade protein of carrying the most in vivo.PEG modifies egg White matter benefit in treatment includes:
-add protein molecular weight, reduce glomerular filtration rate thus extend blood plasma and partly decline Phase;
-add protein physical and chemical stability, reduce the degraded of protease;
-reduce toxicity and limit the immunogenicity of protein;
-add the solubility of pharmaceutical grade protein;
-by improving pharmaceutical grade protein dynamic performance, compared with unmodified protein matter medicine, have Enhance medicine activity (Veronese FM et al., 2005) in vivo to effect.To protein PEGization method of modifying mainly use monomethoxyPEG molecule (mono-methoxy PEG, mPEG) and protein surface reactive group covalent coupling, its main modification approach It is that N-terminal amino or lysine side chain amino groups are carried out acylated modification, but this modification mode Easily produce heterogeneity (i.e. isomer mixture).
Hepatocarcinoma is one of modal malignant tumor, worldwide in kinds of tumor mortality rate Rank the 3rd.The whole world has more than 60 million new every year and increases liver cancer patient, the trouble of the most about 55% Person is in China.It is the most important danger of induced hepatocellular carcinoma that chronic HBV (HBV) infects Factor, the liver cancer patient in China about 80% have HBV infection history (Yang, J.D et al., 2010;Parkin, D.M. et al., 2005).IFN-α for Anti-HBV activity treatment clinically by It is considered effective, is also advantageous for the hepatocarcinoma preventing HBV infection relevant.But the most still have IFN-α is treated nonreply by the Patients with Chronic HBV Infection of significant proportion, and patient Chang Yinwei goes out The toxicity, side effect being now difficult to tolerate includes fatigue, heating, anorexia, depression and bone marrow depression Deng and interrupt the treatment of IFN-α.IFN-λ s especially IFN-λ 1(IL-29) can be by liver The IFN-λ receptor of cell surface specifically expressing excites antiviral activity, suppresses HBV virus replication, Prompting IFN-λ 1 may be used for treating the relevant hepatocarcinoma of chronic HBV infection and HBV infection and suffers from Person (Doyle SE. et al., 2006).
