Description

Long-acting erythropoietin mimic peptide and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of biomedicine, and relates to an erythropoietin mimic peptide. In particular, the invention relates to an erythropoietin mimic peptide which can be combined with an erythropoietin receptor and activate the erythropoietin receptor or can play an erythropoietin stimulating role, a preparation method thereof, and application of the mimic peptide in preparing a medicament for treating diseases characterized by lack of erythropoietin or lack or defect of erythrocyte groups.
Background
Erythropoietin (EPO) is a glycoprotein hormone with a molecular weight of about 34 kD. Erythropoietin present in plasma consists of 165 amino acids, is glycosylated to a high degree, and the sugar component is predominantly sialic acid. Naturally occurring erythropoietin is classified into two types, alpha and beta, depending on the carbohydrate content, wherein the alpha form contains 34% carbohydrate and the beta form contains 26% carbohydrate. The two types are identical in biological characteristics, antigenicity and clinical application effect. The human erythropoietin gene is located in chromosome 7, region 22. In 1985, cDNA was successfully cloned, and large-scale production of recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) was started by gene recombination technology, and widely used in clinic. Erythropoietin (Egrie, JC, Strickland, TW, Lane, J, etc. (986), immunobiology (Immunobiol)72:213-224), which is the product of a cloned human erythropoietin gene inserted and expressed in ovarian tissue cells (CHO cells) of the Chinese hamster, has been biosynthesized using recombinant DNA techniques. Naturally occurring human erythropoietin is first translated into a polypeptide chain containing 166 amino acids with arginine at position 166. In post-translational modifications, arginine 166 is cleaved by a hydroxypeptidase. The molecular weight of the polypeptide chain of human EPO without the sugar group is 18236Da, and in the complete erythropoietin molecule, the sugar group accounts for about 40% of the total molecular weight (J.biol.chem.262: 12059).
Erythropoietin plays an important role in regulating and controlling the oxygen supply condition of the organism as an endocrine hormone which acts on bone marrow hematopoietic cells and promotes the proliferation and differentiation of erythroid progenitor cells and the final maturation. Erythropoietin is produced by the liver in the early embryonic stage and then gradually migrates to the kidney and is secreted mainly by tubular interstitial cells after birth.
During the process of erythropoietin-induced erythroid differentiation, globins are induced, which enable the cells to take up more iron to synthesize functional hemoglobin, which can bind with the oxygen in mature red blood cells, and thus, red blood cells and hemoglobin play an extremely important role in providing body oxygen. This process is caused by the interaction between erythropoietin and surface receptors of the erythroid cells.
When a person is in a healthy state, the tissue can absorb enough oxygen from the existing red blood cells, and the body's erythropoietin concentration is low, and this normal low erythropoietin concentration can fully stimulate red blood cells that are normally lost due to age problems. When the level of oxygen transport by red blood cells in the circulatory system is reduced and hypoxia occurs, the amount of erythropoietin in the body will increase and the hypoxic state of the body can be caused by: excessive radiation, decreased oxygen intake due to high altitude or long-term coma, various types of anemia, and the like. In response to the tissue being subjected to hypoxic pressure, an increase in erythropoietin levels stimulates the differentiation of the red blood cells to the point of increasing erythropoiesis. When the number of red blood cells in the body is greater than that required by normal tissue, the levels of erythropoietin in the circulatory system are reduced. Because erythropoietin plays a crucial role in erythropoiesis, this class of hormones holds great promise for the treatment and diagnosis of hematological disorders characterized by poor and defective erythropoiesis. Recent studies have provided the basis for the speculation of the utility of erythropoietin therapy in a variety of diseases, disorders and hematological abnormalities, including: the use of Erythropoietin in the treatment of anemia in patients with Chronic Renal Failure (CRF) and Erythropoietin in the treatment of anemia in AIDS and cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy (Danna, RP, Rudnick, SA, Abels, RI, in: MB, Garnic eds., Erythropoietin in clinical applications-International patent application. Marcel Dekker; 1990: p 301-324).
Some of the biological effects of erythropoietin can be modulated by intrinsic interactions with receptors on the cell membrane surface. Initially, when immature red blood cells isolated from the spleen of a mouse were used to study cell surface bound erythropoietin protein, it was found that this protein is composed of two polypeptides with molecular weights of approximately 85000-100000 KD (Sawyer, et al (1987) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 84: 3690-. The number of binding sites for erythropoietin was also calculated, approximately 800-1000 sites per cell membrane. Of these binding sites, approximately 300 have Kd levels of 90pM, while the remaining binding sites have weaker binding, approximately 570 pM. Studies have shown that about 400 binding sites are found in response to EPO from spleen erythrocytes of mice infected with an anemia strain of friend virus, with a high Kd level of 100pM and a low Kd level of 800 pM.
The subsequent work is to transcribe the two erythropoietin receptors from a single gene, which has been cloned. For example, the DNA sequences of the mouse and human erythropoietin receptors and the sequences encoding the peptides have been described in WO 90/08822. Current models indicate that binding of erythropoietin to the erythropoietin receptor results in activation and dimerization of the two erythropoietin receptors, which further results in the initiation of signaling.
Erythropoietin is the first cytokine to be used clinically and is the hemoglobin-increasing preparation which has the single action and is safe and reliable to date. Has certain curative effect on renal anemia, aplastic anemia, multiple myeloma, paroxysmal nocturnal hematuria and the like; in addition, the application of erythropoietin can reduce the blood transfusion amount in operation and can correct anemia caused by malignant tumor, chemotherapy and rheumatoid arthritis to a certain extent. Since erythropoietin is mainly produced by tubular endothelial cells, anemia caused by renal disorders is the first indication for erythropoietin; erythropoietin has almost 100% efficacy in correcting renal anemia, but does not improve renal function. The treatment of the erythropoietin is safe and effective, is suitable for long-term treatment and can also avoid the blood source tension. In the world biotech drug market in 2006, erythropoietin-like recombinant drugs account for $ 119 billion, and have huge market capacity.
As early as 1989, the U.S. FDA approved recombinant human erythropoietin (EPOGEN) for the treatment of renal anemia, but it was not marketed in China until 1992. The annual incidence rate of chronic nephritis in China is about 0.25%, a considerable number of patients can be finally converted into renal failure, and about 50-60 ten thousand of patients with annual renal anemia are treated. According to the conservative drug consumption estimation, if the drug is taken by other patients with 30-40 yuan per patient according to the current price and cancer-related anemia and the like, the domestic market volume is about 12-16 million yuan or more (the average weight of the patients is calculated by 50 Kg). Since the later 90 s in the 20 th century, erythropoietin has entered the popular drug line in hospitals in key cities in China, and in 2003, the sample hospitals in key cities in China had a medication amount of 6213 ten thousand yuan, and the rank was 56. In 2004, the medicine purchase amount of sample hospitals in key cities in China is increased to 8049 ten thousand yuan, which is increased by 30% on year-on-year basis.
The use of the erythropoietin cloning gene further aids in the search for agonists and antagonists of these important receptors. Peptides that are capable of acting to some extent on the erythropoietin receptor have been identified and described. In particular, a group of peptides containing a major peptide segment has been identified which bind to the erythropoietin receptor and stimulate differentiation and proliferation of erythropoietin cells. However, the peptides capable of stimulating proliferation and differentiation of erythrocytes have a very low EC50, between 20nM and 250nM, and thus have a major limitation in clinical application.

Example 1 Synthesis of erythropoietin mimetic peptides
The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to specific examples.
The erythropoietin mimic peptide is polypeptide, and the sequence of the polypeptide is selected from SEQ ID NO. 1. The synthesis of the polypeptide of the present invention was carried out by Fmoc solid-phase polypeptide synthesis using a model CS 336X instrument manufactured by CSBio. The synthetic method was performed according to the manufacturer's instructions. The Fmoc solid-phase polypeptide synthesis method is a synthesis method for synthesizing polypeptide by using polymer resin as a solid-phase reaction substrate and sequentially condensing amino acids protected by Fmoc at an amino terminal in the presence of a coupling reagent. The specific method is described in Fmoc solid phase peptide synthesis, a practical proproach, 2000, Oxford University Press. And disulfide bonds in monomers are formed by oxidation methods, such as 20% DMSO oxidation and iodonium oxidation. The prepared polypeptide was purified using a semi-preparative HPLC C18 column with acetonitrile as the mobile phase. Desalting and freeze-drying to obtain polypeptide lyophilized powder.
The resulting products were verified by HPLC and MS, respectively, and the results are shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, respectively.
Example 2 Effect of erythropoietin mimetic peptides on mice
The effect of erythropoietin mimetic peptides and erythropoietin proteins on mouse erythropoiesis was evaluated and compared using mice.
Wherein, EPO (recombinant human erythropoietin injection, batch No. 201405YC12) medicine is purchased from Shenyang Sansheng pharmaceutical company Limited;
kunming mouse, purchased from Shanghai laboratory animal center of Chinese academy of sciences, weighing 25-30g, is female mouse, and the number of animals in each group in the test: 10, divided into 3 groups.
Among them, a group of mice were injected with the erythropoietin mimetic peptide derivatives synthesized in example 1, a group of mice were injected with erythropoietin protein, a group of mice were blank control, and were injected with PBS buffer (25mM/l) at a dose of 4.5mg/kg for three consecutive days, and then the mice were sacrificed, and whole blood was taken for peripheral blood cell and reticulocyte counting, and the blood cell counting was performed by a full-automatic blood cell counter.
As shown in Table 1, it was found that both the erythropoietin mimetic peptide derivatives and the erythropoietin protein significantly stimulate the increase of mouse peripheral blood reticulocyte count, indicating that they stimulate erythropoiesis. In addition, the mimetic peptide of example 1 significantly stimulates an increase in mouse peripheral blood reticulocyte count at the same dose as compared to commercially available EPO (see table 1).

Name (R) Dosage form Number of reticulocytes
Blank space PBS buffer 113.65±2.75
Example 1 mimetic peptides 4.5mg/kg 678.75±1.12
EPO 4.5mg/kg 647.19±1.17
Example 3: effect of erythropoietin mimetic peptides on macaques
The macaque is used for evaluating the influence of the erythropoietin mimic peptide on erythropoiesis, and the weight of the macaque is 5.5-5 kg, and the macaque is not limited in sex and purchased from the Hainan experimental animal center. The macaques are divided into two groups according to basic hemoglobin, and each group comprises three macaques. One group was administered 4.5mg/kg intravenously weekly using the mimetic peptide synthesized in example 1; one group was administered EPO three times per week at 240 μ/kg for five weeks with 1 hematological indicator measured weekly, as shown in table 2.

Name (R) Dosage form Number of reticulocytes
Blank space PBS buffer 223.12±1.26
SEQ ID NO:1 4.5mg/kg 729.34±2.10
EPO 4.5mg/kg 536.28±1.86
As a result, a single intravenous injection of the mimic peptide is found to result in the increase of peripheral blood hemoglobin content (33%) of macaques, and the increase of hematocrit indicates that the mimic peptide stimulates the generation of hemoglobin. The positive control erythropoietin also increased the peripheral blood hemoglobin content of macaques (34%), increased hematocrit, but apparently did not have long-term efficacy and required three injections per week.
Example 4 Effect of erythropoietin mimetic peptides on rats
The effect of erythropoietin mimetic peptides and erythropoietin proteins on rat erythropoiesis was evaluated and compared in rats.
Wherein, the EPO drug is purchased from Shenyang Sansheng pharmaceutical Limited liability company;
SD rats purchased from Shanghai laboratory animal center of Chinese academy of sciences, weighing 25-30g, are female rats, and the number of animals in each group in the test is as follows: 10, divided into 3 groups.
Among them, a group of rats injected with the erythropoietin mimetic peptide synthesized in example 1, a group of rats injected with erythropoietin protein, a group of rats as a blank control, injected with PBS buffer (25mM/l) at a dose of 4.5mg/kg, continuously sampled three days after a single administration for peripheral blood cell and reticulocyte counting, counted by a full-automatic blood cell counter, and calculated for the long-term stability of the derivative, and the result found that the derivative 1 still has the effect of stimulating erythropoiesis within 2 weeks after a single administration, and the results are shown in table 2. Also, the mimetic peptides of example 1 showed greater stimulation of rat reticulocyte production at days 7, 14, and 21 compared to commercially available EPO.
