Description

Polypeptide, method for improving stability of polypeptide, pharmaceutical composition and application of polypeptide in preparation of drugs
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of medicines, in particular to an isolated polypeptide and application thereof, and more particularly to an isolated polypeptide, a method for improving the stability of the polypeptide, a pharmaceutical composition and application of the isolated polypeptide in preparation of medicines.
Background
Acquired Immunodeficiency syndrome (also known as "AIDS"), is a fatal infectious disease caused by Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).
Entry of HIV into human cells can be divided into three processes. An adsorption process: the HIV surface glycoprotein gp120 binds to the human cell surface receptor CD41, thereby allowing HIV to adsorb to the human cell surface. And (3) a drawing-in process: the HIV surface glycoprotein gp120 further binds to the human cell co-receptor CCR5 or CXCR4, thereby drawing HIV closer to the human cell membrane. And (3) fusion process: the conformation of the HIV surface transmembrane subunit gp41 is changed, and then the fusion peptide at the N terminal is inserted into the host cell membrane. And finally, starting the fusion of the virus envelope and the human cell membrane to finish the virus entering the host cell.
The AIDS fusion inhibitor is a new generation medicine for preventing and treating AIDS, which can cut off infection of AIDS at the early stage of AIDS infection. It can block HIV from entering human cell by blocking the fusion process of HIV and human cell membrane. The HIV fusion inhibitor takes HIV surface transmembrane glycoprotein gp41 as a target, and inhibits the formation of gp41 hexaspira (6-HB) so as to block the membrane fusion process.
However, existing HIV membrane fusion inhibitors remain to be improved.

Example 4
In this example, the activity of the polypeptide to inhibit infection by the HIV pseudovirus was tested by the HIV test system.
1. Experimental methods
The 12 polypeptides (SFT-0, SFT-1, SFT-2; SC34EK-0, SC34EK-1, SC34 EK-2; MT-SC22EK-0, MT-SC22EK-1A, MT-SC22EK-1B, MT-SC22EK-2, CP32M-0 and CP32M-1) obtained in example 1 were each prepared as DMSO stock solutions at a certain concentration. Three HIV pseudovirus Chinese epidemic strains with different subtypes and three HIV pseudovirus standard strains are used for detecting the activity of polypeptide inhibiting virus infection, wherein CNE6 and CNE11 are B' subtype, CNE15 and CNE30 are BC subtype, CNE5 and CNE55 are CRF01_ AE subtype, sf162, JRFL and HXB2 are HIV standard strain B subtype (the construction method of the strains is referred to as Hong Shang, Xiaoxu Han, Xuanling Shi, et al.J Biol chem.2011Apr 22; 286(16) 14531-41, provided by Zhanghua university Productus chun laboratories). The 9 HIV pseudoviruses all contain a luciferase reporter gene detection system, 12 polypeptides are detected by using the 9 pseudoviruses respectively, and the capacity of HIV pseudoviruses to infect cells is obtained by measuring the activity of the reporter gene luciferase.
Packaging and detection methods for HIV pseudoviruses: infectious but replication-incompetent HIV pseudoviruses were prepared by co-transfecting 293T cells with a eukaryotic expression plasmid (pcDNA3.1+, available from Invitrogen) capable of expressing full-length membrane proteins of various subtypes of HIV and a backbone plasmid pNL4-3R-E-luciferase (ref: He J, Choe S, Walker R, Di Marzio P, Morgan DO, Landau NR.J Virol 69: 6705-6711, 1995). The HIV pseudovirus is incubated with the polypeptide, then the supernatant is infected with HIV susceptible cells GHOST (3) X4/R5, and the HIV pseudovirus infection capacity is determined by measuring the activity of the reporter gene luciferase. In the GHOST (3) X4/R5 experiment of the susceptible cells of the supernatant infected with HIV, if the polypeptide has the capability of inhibiting GHOST (3) X4/R5 of the HIV infected susceptible cells, the number of viruses capable of entering GHOST (3) X4/R5 is obviously reduced, and the expression quantity of luciferase carried by HIV pseudoviruses in GHOST (3) X4/R5 is also reduced, so the virus quantity of the infected cells can be quantitatively detected by measuring the activity of the luciferase in GHOST (3) X4/R5, and the capability of the polypeptide in inhibiting HIV infection can also be reflected.
2. Results of the experiment
The inhibition curve of each polypeptide to 9 types of HIV pseudoviruses can be obtained by detecting the activity of luciferase, so that an activity parameter (namely, the half inhibition concentration, the lower the half inhibition concentration, the stronger the inhibition activity to HIV infection) for representing the inhibition of the polypeptide to HIV pseudovirus infection can be obtained, and specific results are shown in tables 1-4.

By comparing the median inhibitory concentrations of the four types of polypeptides it was found that:
(1) the order of median inhibitory concentration for the four types of polypeptides was: SC34EK > MT-SC22EK > SFT > CP 32M. The half inhibitory concentration of the polypeptide without modification is 2-10 times of that of the polypeptide modified by a skeleton toughened structure (namely, the polypeptide forming covalent bonds in polypeptide molecules).
(2) For the polypeptide with the number of amino acids larger than 30, the activity of the peptide modified by carrying out the skeleton toughening structure twice is lower than that of the peptide modified by carrying out the skeleton structure once. For the polypeptide with the number of amino acids less than 30, the peptide activity of the peptide subjected to the framework toughening structure modification twice is higher than that of the peptide subjected to the framework toughening structure modification once.
(3) The 12 polypeptides have the activity of inhibiting HIV membrane fusion process, wherein the activity of SC34EK-1 and MT-SC22EK-2 is the best.
