Description

Method for regulating polarization state of macrophage
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of biological medicines, relates to a method for regulating the polarization state of macrophages, and particularly relates to a method for regulating the polarization state of macrophages by activating a cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway and application thereof in delaying the generation and development of atherosclerosis inflammation.
Background
Macrophages are formed by differentiation of myeloid progenitor cells into monocytes, which migrate into the blood and into tissues. Macrophages are classified into classical (M1 type) and alternate (M2 type) types according to differences in activation pattern and function. Under stimulation of bacterial toxin LPS or Th1 cytokines (TNF alpha, IFN gamma) and the like, macrophages are activated and polarized into M1 type, express and release proinflammatory factors and active oxygen, and have the effects of killing pathogens, eliminating necrotic tissues and promoting inflammatory reaction; correspondingly, under the induction of Th2 cytokines (IL-4, IL-13) and the like, macrophages are activated into M2 type, express anti-inflammatory factors (such as TGF beta and IL-10), and have the effects of relieving inflammation, promoting tissue growth and repairing. In addition, the polarization state of macrophages can also be regulated by changing the expression of genes such as Krluppel-like factors (KLF4), STAT6, miR-33 and the like.
Researches find that two different polarized macrophages have important regulation and control functions in the generation process of inflammatory diseases, and can be mutually converted in function when different microenvironments respond to different stimuli; and the function of M1 type macrophages is blocked, the anti-inflammatory repair property of M2 type polarized cells is maintained, and the anti-inflammatory agent plays an important role in inhibiting the generation and development of inflammation. Therefore, finding an effective way to modulate the polarization state of macrophages is of great importance in the prevention and treatment of inflammation-related diseases. However, there are currently fewer effective methods of modulating macrophage polarization.
The Cholinergic Anti-inflammatory Pathway (CAP) is a newly discovered neuroimmunomodulatory Anti-inflammatory Pathway. Under the condition of inflammation, an afferent vagus nerve (afferent vagus) transmits an inflammation signal to a central nervous system, and Acetylcholine (ACh) is released by an efferent vagus nerve (efferent vagus) to act on macrophages, so that the release of cell inflammatory factors is reduced, and the development of inflammatory reaction can be effectively inhibited. CAP has obvious inhibition effect on systemic and local inflammation, and provides an effective way for regulating the function of cell factors and relieving inflammation-related diseases. Research shows that the stimulation of vagus nerve to activate CAP can inhibit the occurrence and development of diseases such as acute inflammation, sepsis, chronic rheumatoid arthritis and the like, thereby improving the disease symptoms. At present, the method for stimulating the vagus nerve is approved by the FDA in the United states and is applied to the prevention and treatment of epilepsy, rheumatoid arthritis and other diseases.
Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease, the main cause of which is abnormal lipid metabolism and accumulation on the vascular endothelium, causing inflammation, exacerbating plaque and thrombus formation, and leading to vascular blockage. The inflammatory response is consistently throughout the various stages of the development, progression and evolution of atherosclerosis, and may be the central component of the pathogenesis of multiple causative factors of atherosclerosis. At the initial stage of atherosclerosis, the inflammatory reaction induces M1 type polarized macrophages to gather, plays a role in clearing accumulated lipid and necrotic cells, and simultaneously releases proinflammatory factors to accelerate inflammation development and plaque formation; with the aggravation of inflammation, M2 type polarized macrophage is activated and releases anti-inflammatory factor, promotes plaque decomposition and plays a role in anti-inflammatory repair. In the research of an atherosclerosis animal model, the activation of M1 polarized macrophages or the inhibition of M2 polarized macrophages can accelerate the formation of atherosclerotic plaques; in contrast, activation of M2 type polarized macrophages can significantly inhibit the development of atherosclerosis. Tissue section analysis of clinical atherosclerosis patients shows that M1 type polarized macrophages are enriched in areas of severe inflammatory plaques with lipid accumulation, and M2 type polarized macrophages are distributed in areas with lower inflammation degree.
Currently, clinical anti-inflammatory treatment strategies for atherosclerosis include the use of traditional anti-inflammatory drugs (e.g., statins, aspirin, etc.), the inhibition of the activity of TNF- α, an inflammation-related factor, an interleukin-like activity (e.g., the monoclonal antibody canakiumab to interleukin IL-1 β), or the inhibition of intracellular inflammation signaling pathway-related molecules, such as the inhibition of the activity of inflammation signaling molecules such as p38MAPK cascade kinase, NADPH oxidase. However, clinical drugs often have the disadvantages of large side effects and low specificity of inflammation inhibition.
Therefore, the method regulates macrophage polarization, targets the generation and development of inflammation and plays a key role in inhibiting the formation of atherosclerosis. The prior art aims at fewer methods for regulating macrophage polarization, but the method for inhibiting inflammation generation and development by regulating macrophage polarization influence is still to be improved and developed, and a more specific and better-effect target regulation method needs to be developed so as to regulate the generation and development of inflammation-related diseases.
