Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to an application of a substance for inhibiting MASP-2 and a downstream complement activation effect thereof in preparing a medicine for treating diseases caused by coronavirus.
Background
During coronavirus infection, viral surface glycosyl groups activate the complement lectin pathway mannan-binding lectin (MBL), which leads to activation of its downstream mannan-binding lectin associated serine protease-2 (MASP-2). MASP-2 is a key enzyme of MBL and consists of 686 amino acid residues (Royal, et al. Studies on mannose-binding lectin binding-associated serine protease 2. J. mol. Immunol 2015,31 (1)). MASP-2 is encoded by MASP2 gene and has the main functions of combining with substrate C4 to hydrolyze into two fragments of C4a and C4b, combining with C2 under the condition of combining with C4b to hydrolyze into C2a and C2b, forming C4b2a, namely C3 convertase, further activating C3 and C5 to form C5b-9 membrane attack complex, inducing virus elimination and cell lysis, and simultaneously generating anaphylatoxin C3a, C5a and the like which can recruit inflammatory cells, activate and amplify inflammatory reaction. The generated complement fragments such as C4b, C3b and the like can play roles in opsonophagocytosis and antigen presentation.
The anaphylatoxin C3a, C5a induces inflammatory reaction after binding with its specific receptor C3aR, C5 aR. Anaphylatoxin induces smooth muscle contraction, mast cells release histamine, and vascular permeability is increased; and mediates chemotaxis, inflammatory response, and the generation of cytotoxic oxygen radicals, therefore, anaphylatoxins have important effects on the induction and regulation of inflammatory response, with the strongest effect of C5 a. C3a and C5a are small molecular peptides which are composed of 76 amino acids and have the molecular weight of about 10kD, and the small molecular peptides all have carboxyl terminals containing arginine residues, can be rapidly decomposed by serum carboxypeptidase to generate de-arginine derivatives, and show that the biological activity is remarkably reduced.
Coronaviruses are positive-stranded RNA viruses of the order nested viruses, with genomes about 3 kilobases in length. Among them, SARS coronavirus (SARS-CoV) causing Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), MERS coronavirus (MERS-CoV) causing middle east respiratory syndrome (MERS-CoV) cause severe acute respiratory infectious disease. Although SARS-CoV has disappeared for many years, due to the existence of the SARS-like coronavirus bank in the bat body, and the RNA virus itself is relatively mutable, there is a possibility that the virus-like virus undergoes host changes to infect humans. The homology between SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV is about 80% by genome sequencing analysis, and it may be from the same bat coronavirus. SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 belong to the genus beta coronavirus of the family Coronaviridae, are single-stranded positive-strand RNA viruses, are enveloped by an envelope, and are named because the spinous process proteins present a crown shape. Its genome is about 29kb in size, expressing 4 structural proteins and several non-structural proteins. The structural proteins include surface spinous process (S) protein, envelope (E) protein, membrane (M) protein and nucleocapsid (N) protein. The N protein is wrapped outside the viral genome RNA to form the nucleocapsid, so that the viral RNA can be protected from being attacked by a host and the replication of the viral genome can be assisted in the viral replication process, and simultaneously, the N protein plays a plurality of roles of promoting cell apoptosis, inhibiting interferon generation and the like. The protein is more conserved than the envelope protein because it is located inside the virus. In addition, SARS and similar coronavirus droplet transmission characteristics, and lack of specific drugs, once outbreak is epidemic, the control is difficult, and the health of human beings is threatened. Improving the prevention and control capability of the virus and similar virus infection, and developing and storing the prevention and control medicine aiming at SARS coronavirus has important significance.

In the present application, MASP-2 is human mannose-binding lectin-binding associated serine protease-2, or MASP-2 from other animals with over 70% homology to human MASP-2.
The homology mentioned above refers to the homology of amino acid sequences. Homology of amino acid sequences can be determined using homology search sites on the internet, such as the BLAST web page of the NCBI home website. For example, in the advanced BLAST2.1, by using blastp as a program, setting the value of Expect to 10, setting all filters to OFF, using BLOSUM62 as a Matrix, setting Gap existence cost, Per residual Gap cost and Lambda ratio to 11, 1 and 0.85 (default values), respectively, and performing calculation by searching for homology to an amino acid sequence, the value (%) of homology (identities) can be obtained. The 70% or more homology may be at least 70%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 95%, 96%, 98%, 99% or 100% homology.
The invention discovers the molecular mechanism of host over-stimulated immune reaction caused by N protein by researching the interaction of SARS-CoV N protein, MERS-CoV N protein, SARS-CoV-2N protein and host protein MASP-2 and related molecular mechanism: the interaction of SARS-CoV N protein, MERS-CoV N protein, SARS-CoV-2N protein and MASP-2 is proved by immunoprecipitation and immunoblotting experiment, and the three are highly homologous with the interaction region of MASP-2; the complement deposition experiments show that SARS-CoV N protein, MERS-CoV N protein and SARS-CoV-2N protein can promote the activation of agglutinin pathway and can aggravate the activation of MASP-2 downstream complements C4, C3, C5 and the like; the complement fragment C5a in the serum of SARS-CoV-2 severe patients is found to be obviously increased, which indicates that the material specifically combined with the complement fragment C5a or the gene thereof can be used for preparing products for screening or assisting in screening patients with severe coronavirus infection; the mortality rate of the mouse infected with the virus with the knockout of the Masp2 gene is obviously reduced and recovered more quickly; in vivo infection experiments prove that the death rate of SARS-CoV mouse adapted strain infected mice can be effectively reduced by targeting MASP-2 medication, such as application of MASP-2 inhibitor C1INH or antibody, or targeting N protein, such as application of N protein monoclonal antibody. These results suggest that MASP-2 or its downstream complement activation effects may be a therapeutic target. The MASP-2 inhibitor or the inhibitor of the downstream complement activation effect thereof can be used as candidate drugs for preventing and treating coronavirus infection. The invention has application value in screening and treating the infection coronavirus.

Complement deposition results see FIG. 3E, and the SARS-CoV-2N protein was found to promote lectin pathway activation and to contribute to the exacerbation of downstream complement activation by complement deposition experiments. The detection result of C5a in the serum of SARS-CoV-2 patient is shown in F in FIG. 3, the anaphylatoxin C5a in the serum of SARS-CoV-2 infected severe patients is (209.3 + -21.8) ng/mL, which is much higher than that of SARS-CoV-2 infected mild patients (49.2 + -24.2 ng/mL) and normal persons (18.6 + -2.2 ng/mL), the SARS-CoV-2 infected severe patients and normal persons have very significant difference (P <0.001), the SARS-CoV-2 infected severe patients and SARS-CoV-2 infected mild patients have no significant difference (P > 0.05), and the SARS-CoV-2 infected mild patients and normal persons have no significant difference (P > 0.05). The experimental result shows that the substance specifically bound with the complement fragment C5a or the gene thereof can be used for preparing products for screening or assisting in screening patients with severe coronavirus infection. Indicating excessive complement activation in the patient, and the anaphylatoxin C5a has the functions of recruiting inflammatory cells, activating and amplifying inflammatory responses. Therefore, the substance targeting C5a has value in being used as a candidate drug for preventing and treating SARS-CoV-like virus infection.

Mice were then observed every 1-3 hours for survival.
The KO group and the WT group were inoculated with adenovirus expressing MERS-CoV N protein (Ad-MERS N) by tail vein injection, each at 100. mu.L (i.e., 10)9PFU/one), once daily, twice daily, and on day 6 via tail vein injection of LPS (lipopolysaccharide solution), 5 mg/kg.
