Description

Application of CILP2 in preparation of medicine for improving heart aging and myocardial hypertrophy

Technical Field

The invention belongs to the technical field of biomedicine, and particularly relates to application of CILP2 in preparation of a medicine for improving heart aging and myocardial hypertrophy.

Background

Health, aging and longevity are the most important concerns and the mysteries of people have been explored since ancient times. With the progress of China into aging society, diseases brought by aging seriously threaten the health of human beings, but the understanding of aging is still in the initial stage at present. Among the diseases caused by aging, cardiovascular diseases have been high leaders in the ranking of lethal causes over the years, in which heart failure is one of the most common causes of death. Recently, at the protein level, GDF11 and TIMP2 were identified as potential anti-aging factors. The application of anti-aging factors to aging body can slow down the aging progress of organs, and improve heart aging, cardiac hypertrophy and other organ functions of aging mice. Therefore, aging marker genes and proteins are actively searched for, which may predict the aging state of the body, and may become important targets for resisting aging and myocardial hypertrophy.

With age, the heart undergoes changes in its structure, function, cellular and molecular level, highlighted by myocardial hypertrophy, fibrosis, misfolded protein accumulation, mitochondrial dysfunction, decreased calcium channel activity and increased sympathetic nerve activity, which are also characteristic of heart aging, even in the absence of significant cardiovascular disease. Heart failure can occur after the heart aging causes its structural changes. Unlike "systolic heart failure", most age-related heart failure occurs under normal systolic function, called "diastolic heart failure". For example, aging-induced left ventricular fibrosis, stiffness and wall thickening all contribute to myocardial diastolic dysfunction, leading to heart failure. In an aging heart, the number of cardiomyocytes may decrease with age, but cardiac fibroblasts proliferate significantly, and produce extracellular matrix and collagen. When the cardiac fibroblasts proliferate excessively, imbalance of collagen synthesis and degradation, imbalance of collagen proportion, disorder of cell arrangement and extracellular matrix deposition occur, which are common pathological changes of many cardiovascular diseases at a certain stage. The accumulation of collagen leads to interstitial fibrosis of the atria, stellate ganglia and ventricles of the elderly, which in turn causes myocardial contraction and relaxation dysfunction.

At present, the pathogenesis of heart aging and myocardial hypertrophy caused by the heart aging is not completely clarified, and an effective medicament treatment means is lacking clinically. Therefore, exploring the molecular mechanism of the pathological occurrence of heart aging and aging myocardial hypertrophy is helpful to search for a new drug action target, improve the treatment scheme of resisting heart aging and aging myocardial hypertrophy and promote the development of accurate medical treatment in the field of heart aging prevention and treatment.

The CILP2 gene is located in the 11 band (19p13.11) of the short arm 13 region of chromosome 19, is 8395bp long, and the protein coded by the CILP2 gene is called cartilage intermediate layer protein 2(cartilage intermediate layer protein 2). CILP2 is highly homologous to CILP 1.CILP 1, which is present in extracellular fluid as a large number of secreted glycoproteins, is thought to function as a scaffold for cartilage, and its dysfunction may lead to cartilage disease. Studies have shown that CILP1 is expressed in the heart and muscle of adult mice, suggesting a possible extrachondral role. CILP2 is also present as a glycoprotein in human articular cartilage and ultrastructures, and may be involved in the formation of ultrastructural collagen VI. Both CILP-1 and CILP-2 proteins can be cleaved into N-terminal and C-terminal fragments at the furin cleavage protease site, which are presumed based on protein structure and function: the N-terminal WxxW sequence plays a key role in CILP interaction with TGF-. beta.s (FIG. 1). The homology of the C terminal and nucleotide pyrophosphate hydrolase (NTPPHase) is more than 90.9 percent, which is probably related to the activity of nucleotide pyrophosphate diesterase (NPP), but the C terminal lacks an NPP catalytic site or a divalent cation binding site.

The heart ultrasonic detection of the heart structure and the function of the mouse shows that the posterior wall thickness of the left ventricle of the aged mouse is obviously thickened, and the myocardial hypertrophy caused by aging is improved after the CILP2 is over-expressed, but the left ventricle ejection function of the mouse is not obviously influenced, which shows that the heart hypertrophy can be obviously improved by over-expressing CILP 2.

5. HE staining of myocardial tissue sections to observe myocardial morphological changes

After the myocardial tissue is fixed by 4% formaldehyde fixing solution, the myocardial tissue is embedded by paraffin to be used as a tissue section. HE staining method: paraffin section I xylene 2-5 minutes, II xylene 2-5 minutes, 100% ethanol 1min, 95% ethanol 1min, 80% ethanol 1min, 70% ethanol 1min, water washing with tap water and distilled water 0.5min, Harris sappan wood purple liquid 5 min. Hematoxylin violet is a basic dye that stains cell nuclei. The water was washed with tap water for 2 seconds, and the mixture was differentiated with 1% acidic alcohol (1mLHCl and 99mL of 70% alcohol) for 5 seconds, washed with tap water for a little while, and then added to a saturated aqueous solution of lithium carbonate to turn the slices blue, taking about 10 seconds in total. Then adding into 80% alcohol for 1min, and adding into 0.5% eosin alcohol solution for 1-2 min. Dehydrating with I95% ethanol for 2min, dehydrating with II 95% ethanol for 2min, dehydrating with I100% ethanol for 1min, dehydrating with II 100% ethanol for 1min, soaking in xylene carbolate mixture (1: 3) for transparence and absorbing water for 5 min. Then the carbolic acid is cleaned by I xylene for 1min and is made more transparent. And then carrying out dimethylbenzene II for 1min, taking out the slices from the dimethylbenzene, wiping off the dimethylbenzene except the slices by using dry gauze, immediately dripping a small drop of gum solution, and quickly taking a clean cover glass by using tweezers to cover the clean cover glass. As a result: the cell nucleus is bluish purple and the cytoplasm is red.

The morphological changes of the myocardial tissue were observed under a microscope. As shown in fig. 5A, the cardiomyocytes in the aged mice were significantly increased, and overexpression of CILP2 significantly reduced the cardiomyocyte size.

6. Wheat Germ Agglutinin (WGA) staining of myocardial tissue sections

1) Paraffin section dewaxing to water: placing the slices in xylene I15 min-xylene II 15 min-absolute ethyl alcohol I5 min-absolute ethyl alcohol II 5 min-85% alcohol 5 min-75% alcohol 5 min-distilled water washing.

2) Dyeing: after the section is slightly dried, a circle is drawn around the tissue by a tissue pen, diluted WGA dye solution is dripped into the circle, and the section is incubated for 30min at 37 ℃ in a dark incubator.

3) DAPI counterstained nuclei: slides were washed 3 times in PBS (pH7.4) with shaking on a destaining shaker for 5min each time. After the section is slightly dried, DAPI dye liquor is dripped into the circle, and the section is incubated for 10min at room temperature in a dark place.

4) Sealing sheet: slides were washed 3 times in PBS (pH7.4) with shaking on a destaining shaker for 5min each time. The slices were slightly spun dry and mounted with an anti-fluorescent quenching mounting agent.

5) Taking a picture through microscopic examination: the sections were observed under a fluorescence microscope and images were collected. (DAPI ultraviolet excitation wavelength 330-380nm, emission wavelength 420nm, blue light emission; FITC excitation wavelength 465-495nm, emission wavelength 515-555nm, green light emission;

wheat germ agglutinin can specifically bind to myocardial cell membrane, and can stain myocardial cell membrane when they are combined, and can measure diameter, area, etc. by observing stained cells in myocardium under microscope, it can be analyzed whether myocardial cell is hypertrophic or not. As shown in fig. 5B, the cardiomyocytes in the aged mice were significantly increased, and overexpression of CILP2 significantly reduced the cardiomyocyte size.

7. Myocardial hypertrophy index detection

Total RNA is extracted from heart tissues of mice of each group, and the mRNA expression levels of the myocardial hypertrophy indexes Myh6 and Myh7 are detected by adopting a method in 2.

The results are shown in fig. 5C, the myo 6 expression level decreased in the aged mouse myocardium, the myo 7 expression level increased, and the upregulation of CILP2 expression partially reversed such changes.

8. Weighing the heart as a whole and the left and right ventricles respectively

After the mice are sacrificed by cervical dislocation, the heart is taken out and washed clean by PBS, and after the whole body is weighed, the left ventricle and the right ventricle are separated and then weighed separately. The weight of the heart of the mouse is detected, as shown in fig. 4C, after the intervention of the expression level of CILP2, the weights of the left ventricle and the right ventricle of the heart are reduced, and the conclusion obtained after the correction of the weight and the length of the tibia is consistent, which indicates that the heart hypertrophy can be remarkably improved by over-expression of CILP 2.

9. Detection of aging and inflammation indicators

Total RNA was extracted from heart tissue of mice in each group, and mRNA expression levels of senescence-associated factors P16, P21 and P53 and mRNA expression levels of inflammatory factors IL-1 β, IL-6 and TNF- α were measured by the method of 2.

The results are shown in FIG. 6. P16, P21 and P53 are indicators of heart aging, the expression levels of the three genes in the myocardium are increased along with the increase of the age, and the expression levels of P16, P21 and P53 in the myocardium are reversed after the CILP2 is up-regulated. In addition, since chronic inflammation is a characteristic and pathogenic factor of aging, the expression levels of inflammatory factors IL-1 beta, IL-6 and TNF-alpha in the myocardium of three groups of mice are also tested, and the level of inflammatory factors in the myocardium of aged mice is obviously increased, while the level of inflammatory factors in the myocardium is reduced after the expression of CILP2 is up-regulated. Although not statistically significant, it was trend-finding that upregulation of CILP2 expression might improve heart aging.

The above description is only for the purpose of illustrating the preferred embodiments of the present invention and is not to be construed as limiting the invention, and any modifications, equivalents and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention are intended to be included within the scope of the present invention.
