Detailed Description
It should be noted that the following detailed description is exemplary and is intended to provide further explanation of the disclosure. Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs.
As described in the background section, the transcription factor Nrf2 belongs to CNC-Bzip (capncollar subfamily basic leucoine-zipper), namely, the CNC leucine zipper transcription activator family is an important transcription factor for regulating the oxidative stress response of cells and is also a central regulator for maintaining the intracellular redox homeostasis. The Nrf2 can reduce cell damage caused by active oxygen and an electrophile by inducing and regulating the constitutive expression and the inducible expression of a series of antioxidant proteins, so that the cells are in a stable state, and the redox dynamic balance of an organism is maintained, thereby becoming an important path of the cells for resisting oxidative stress. Proper activation of the Nrf2 signaling pathway can enhance the antioxidant stress capacity of cells, maintain the redox balance in cells, reduce the damage of free radicals and chemical carcinogens to cells, and thus maintain the normal physiological functions of cells. There are many reports of Nrf2 activators such as catechin esters, sulforaphane, curcumin, resveratrol, oltipraz, t-butylhydroquinone, and the like. Different Nrf2 activators may activate Nrf2 in different mechanisms and thus may function differently.
The homoplantaginoside has effects of reducing blood sugar, regulating blood lipid, improving NO generation, and improving vascular endothelial insulin resistance caused by free fatty acid. However, no report on the regulation of Nrf2 activity by homoplantaginoside and derivatives thereof is available at present.
In order to research the action relationship between the homoplantaginoside (S3) and the homoplantaginoside derivative (S1) and the Nrf2, the invention firstly determines whether the homoplantaginoside and the derivative thereof can activate the Nrf2 by a Luci-hela transfected cell line, and can activate the Nrf2 by measuring the homoplantaginoside (S3) and the derivative thereof (S1) at 540nm by a microplate reader, thereby determining that the homoplantaginoside and the derivative thereof can be used as an activator of the Nrf 2.
The Luci-hela transfected cell line adopted by the invention can stably express firefly luciferase, and is treated by using a firefly luciferase reporter gene kit, wherein a transcription regulation element or a 5 promoter region of Nrf2 is cloned at the upstream of luciferase, or a 3-UTR region is cloned at the downstream of luciferase to form a reporter plasmid, then cells are transfected, the cells are treated by S1 and S3 and then are lysed, the luciferase activity is measured, whether the transcription regulation of Nrf2 can be activated by drug treatment or not is judged according to the activity of the luciferase, and the activation of Nrf2 can be detected by a microplate reader at 540nm by using a homoeosin (S3) and a derivative (S1) thereof. (see FIG. 1).
Under normal physiological conditions, Nrf2 specifically binds to cytoplasm through the N-terminal and Kelch-like ECH associated protein 1(Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1, Keap1), while the activity of Nrf2 is inhibited, intracellular II-phase enzymes and antioxidants are at basal expression levels, and the cells are in a stable state. When stimulated by Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) or other electrophiles, Nrf2 uncouples with Keap1 and allows Nrf2 to migrate into the nucleus where it combines with small Maf proteins as a heterodimer, which in turn recognizes and binds Antioxidant Response Elements (AREs) and initiates transcription of downstream antioxidant protective genes and phase ii detoxification enzyme genes. We used endothelial cells to inoculate 2cm dishes and by immunofluorescence staining, we found that homoplantarin and its derivatives were able to activate the nuclear import of Nrf2 (see FIG. 2).
The invention also researches the reaction of the homoplantaginoside and the derivative thereof on HO-1 expression and oxidative stress of downstream protein Nrf 2. The Nrf2 can reduce cell damage caused by active oxygen and an electrophile by inducing and regulating the constitutive expression and the inducible expression of a series of antioxidant proteins, so that the cells are in a stable state and the redox dynamic balance of an organism is maintained. Thus becoming an important pathway for cells to resist oxidative stress. The expression of HO-1 protein of a downstream signal path of the derivative shows that the homoplantaginoside and the derivative thereof can activate Nrf2 to play a role in protecting endothelial cells by antioxidation. The expression of HO-1 protein in the endothelial cells induced by the oxidative low-density lipoprotein is detected by western blotting.
The results show that: compared with a control group ox-LDL group, the compound homoplantain derivative (S10.1 mu M, 1 mu M and 10 mu M) is added, the expression level of HO-1 is obviously higher than that of the control group ox-LDL, and meanwhile, compared with the control group ox-LDL group, the compound homoplantain (S30.1 mu M, 1 mu M and 10 mu M) is added, the expression level of HO-1 is obviously higher than that of the control group ox-LDL, which indicates that the homoplantain and the derivative thereof can activate the antioxidant protein HO-1 of a downstream signal path of Nrf 2. (see FIG. 3), inhibition of oxidative stress by promoting expression of protein HO-1 downstream of Nrf 2.
The invention also researches the influence of the homoplantaginoside and the derivative thereof on the expression of ROS, and Nrf2 belongs to a CNC regulatory protein family, is a transcription factor with an alkaline leucine zipper structure, widely exists in each organ of an organism, and is a main regulatory factor of cell redox reaction. Under normal physiological conditions, Nrf2 binds primarily to the inhibitor Keap1, in the hope that the inactive state exists in the cytoplasm and degrades rapidly under the ubiquitin proteasome pathway to maintain low transcriptional activity of Nrf2 under physiological conditions. When the cells ARE stimulated by active oxygen (ROS) or other nucleophilic agents, the Nrf2 and the Keap1 ARE uncoupled, the activated Nrf2 is transported into cell nucleus, combined with Maf protein to form heterodimer to be combined with ARE, the expression of target genes is activated, and the transcriptional activity of II-phase metabolic enzyme, antioxidant enzyme or drug transporter is regulated and controlled, so that the effect of resisting oxidative damage is exerted. The expression amount of ROS in endothelial cells is detected by a DCFH-DA probe method, which shows that the adaptoglycoside and the derivatives thereof can reduce the expression level of ROS by activating Nrf 2. (see FIG. 4)
The results show that: compared with a control group ox-LDL group, the compound homoplantain derivative (S10.1 mu M, 1 mu M and 10 mu M) is added, the expression level of ROS is obviously lower than that of the control group ox-LDL, and the compound homoplantain (S30.1 mu M, 1 mu M and 10 mu M) is added and the expression level of ROS is obviously higher than that of the control group ox-LDL compared with the control group ox-LDL group, so that the homoplantain and the derivative thereof can activate Nrf2 to reduce the expression of ROS in cells.
The invention also researches the influence of the knockout of the post-Nrf 2 homoeoside on the endothelial cell injury protection effect, and Nrf2 drives a free radical cation channel to be an important endogenous steady-state mechanism, thereby playing an important role in the aspects of inflammation resistance, apoptosis resistance, tumor resistance, atherosclerosis resistance, neuroprotection and the like. The nuclear factor kB (NF-kB) system is mainly involved in the information transfer of the processes of body defense reaction, tissue damage and stress, cell differentiation and apoptosis, and tumor growth inhibition. In most cell types, NF-kB binds to inhibitory proteins in the cytoplasm to form an inactive complex. When tumor necrosis factor, etc. acts on the corresponding receptor, the system can be activated by a second messenger, Cer, etc., while virus infection, lipopolysaccharide, active oxygen intermediates, phorbol esters, double-stranded RNA, RKC, PkA, etc. activated in the aforementioned message transmission pathway can directly activate NF-kB. The activated NF-kB enters the nucleus, contacts DNA, and initiates or inhibits transcription of the gene of interest. Following knockdown of Nrf2, homoplantagins do not protect endothelial cells under stimulation with ox-LDL. (see FIG. 5).
The experimental results are as follows: compared with a control group random interfering RNA group, the Sinrf2 interfering group added with the compound homoplantarin can not inhibit the nuclear entry of NF-kB, and the homoplantarin is used for protecting endothelial cells from being damaged by activating Nrf 2.
The invention also researches the influence of the homoplantaginoside and the derivative thereof on antioxidant protein HO-1 downstream of Nrf2 in the heart slice of the ApoE-/-mouse. A classical animal model ApoE-/-mouse for evaluating the drug effect of the anti-atherosclerosis drug is taken as a model. ApoE-/-mice were randomly grouped, including Control group (Control), high plantaginin derivative low dose group (S15mg/kg), high plantaginin derivative high dose group (S110 mg/kg) and high plantaginin low dose group (S35 mg/kg), high plantaginin high dose group (S310 mg/kg), Control group injected with the corresponding solvent amount of PBS. The specific injection mode is shown in figure 6.
Intraperitoneal injection is adopted, the injection is performed once every 24h for 6 weeks, and the weight change of the mice is tracked at any time during the injection. HO-1 was observed in aortic sections. Statistical analysis of the data summarized the expression of hispidoside and its derivatives on Nrf2 downstream signals in aortic plaques.
The results show that: there was no significant difference in body weight between groups during injection, indicating that the S1 and S3 injected doses were within the normal tolerance range of the mice, with no toxic effect on the mice. The HO-1 protein content of aortic plaque was significantly increased in the S1 high dose group (10mg/kg) compared to the S1 low dose group (5mg/kg) or the control group, and the HO-1 protein content was significantly increased in the S3 high dose group (10mg/kg) compared to the S3 low dose group (5mg/kg) or the control group (see FIG. 7).
The invention also investigated the effect of hispidoside and its derivatives on ROS expression in the aorta of ApoE-/-mice. Oxidative stress is a stress reaction generated in the body due to the disruption of the oxidative/antioxidant homeostasis in the body by the external environmental stimuli. Under normal conditions, the systems involved in the production and clearance of ROS in the body are in a state of dynamic equilibrium. Due to the stimulation of the external environment or the change of the organism, and the like, the ROS in the organism is increased or the scavenging capacity of the organism to the ROS is reduced, and the organism can generate oxidative stress. The Nrf2-Keap1-ARE signal pathway system plays an important role in the mechanism of resisting endogenous or exogenous oxidative stress of cells and is an important member of a cell defense system. A reduction in oxidative stress can also indicate activation of Nrf 2. (see FIG. 8)
The results show that: compared with the control group, the ROS expression level of the S1 low-dose group (5mg/kg), the S1 high-dose group (10mg/kg), the S3 low-dose group (5mg/kg) and the S3 high-dose group (10mg/kg) is obviously reduced, which indicates that the homoplantaginin and the derivatives thereof can effectively inhibit the generation of ROS in aorta and activate Nrf 2.
From the above experiments and the results thereof, the following conclusions can be drawn:
endothelial cell apoptosis, disorder of lipid metabolism, and inflammation are the main causes of disease development. The homoplantaginoside and the derivative thereof can effectively inhibit the apoptosis of endothelial cells caused by oxidative low-density lipoprotein, play a role in protecting the endothelial cells by oxidation resistance by activating Nrf2, can effectively inhibit the generation and development of arteriosclerosis in ApoE-/-mice, can stabilize plaques, can reduce the ROS expression in the plaques by activating Nrf2, and can improve the HO-1 expression. Therefore, the invention provides theoretical and experimental basis for researching the homoplantaginoside and the derivative thereof as the activator of the Nrf2 and protecting endothelial cell injury, and the homoplantaginoside and the derivative thereof can be used as a tool for effectively activating the Nrf2 and lay a foundation for inventing and researching related diseases.
