Description

Application of cyclic erythropoietin-derived peptide in kidney injury and cyclosporin A injury protection
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of medicines, and particularly relates to application of cyclic erythropoietin-derived peptide in kidney injury and cyclosporin A injury protection.
Background
Kidney transplantation is the primary treatment for patients with end-stage renal disease, but graft dysfunction and donor shortages remain major concerns of widespread concern today. Ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury is closely related to delayed function of transplanted organs, acute rejection and subsequent chronic graft dysfunction. Cyclosporin a (Cyclosporine a, CsA) is the most commonly used immunosuppressant after renal transplantation, but its nephrotoxicity is not negligible.
IR injury is an inevitable injury in kidney transplants that can trigger immune responses, oxidative damage, inflammatory responses and cell death, manifested by Tubular Epithelial Cell (TEC) death, inflammatory cell infiltration, cytokine and chemokine production, caspase-3 activation. TECs are most susceptible to IR damage, but are also involved in regeneration, which may be relevant to reduce damage and promote repair. Surviving TECs dedifferentiate and enter the cell cycle within hours after injury, initiating proliferation and maintaining homeostasis.
The 32kD caspase-3 precursor cleaves to the 17kD active subunit, playing apoptotic and inflammatory roles in renal IR-related injury. HMGB1 is an injury-associated molecule that is rapidly released from the nucleus into the extracellular domain, mediating apoptosis and inflammation in acute kidney injury and subsequent fibrosis. Our previous studies showed that caspase-3 and HMGB1 levels correlated with renal IR injury and the degree of fibrosis. Various treatments, including caspase-3 siRNA, improved renal injury and reduced caspase-3 and HMGB1 expression.
CsA is one of the most important immunosuppressive agents in many organ transplants, including the kidney. CsA belongs to the group of calcineurin inhibitors and has a great effect in increasing organ and patient survival rates. The use of CsA reduces the incidence of acute rejection and early graft loss after renal transplantation. However, CsA does not improve the long-term survival of transplanted kidneys due to its nephrotoxicity. CsA nephrotoxicity is manifested by interstitial fibrosis and hyaline degenerative degeneration of the arteriolar duct wall, which can lead to chronic graft injury and progressive renal function impairment.
Erythropoietin (EPO) is capable of protecting different organs including the brain, heart and kidneys from IR damage. This protection is achieved by a heterodimeric EPO receptor and a β -co-receptor (EPOR/β cR), also known as the innate repair receptor, which is pharmacologically distinct from the homodimer of Erythropoietin (EPOR). Our previous studies have shown that EPO can reduce tubular apoptosis but promote inflammatory apoptosis in IR injury. However, high doses of EPO often cause side effects such as hypertension and thrombosis. Therefore, researchers developed a Helical B Surface Peptide (HBSP) that interacts only with EPOR/β cR. HBSP consists of 11 amino acids derived from the surface of helix B in the EPO 3D structure (QEQLERALNSS), but has a short half-life of only a few minutes. To improve its plasma stability, a novel metabolically stable Cyclic HBSP (CHBP)) is further produced, with a prolonged half-life and potent tissue protection.
The present study further investigated the role and mechanism of CHBP in acute and chronic injury-related models. We hypothesized that CHBP protects kidney and TEC from IR and/or CsA induced damage. Renal protection of CHBP may involve several mechanisms of signaling, which necessitates further investigation of how the underlying protective mechanisms differ between 2 and 8 weeks after IR and/or CsA-induced injury, or whether CHBP has a comparable modulating effect on the immune response of CsA.
Disclosure of Invention
The technical problem to be solved is as follows: aiming at the technical problems that the high-dose EPO generally causes side effects, the half-life of the linear erythropoietin-derived peptide in vivo is short, and the like, the cyclic erythropoietin-derived peptide is selected to be used as a research object. Since the dose, efficiency, etc. of the cyclic ghrelin-derived peptide used in vivo are not clear, the present application preliminarily set the dose of 24nmol/kg body weight as the experimental dose in the preliminary experimental work. How to enter the body to target and act on the kidney by the cyclic erythropoietin-derived peptide is not known at present, and the cyclic erythropoietin-derived peptide is injected from the abdominal cavity and enters the systemic circulation to finally act on the kidney tissue. The invention aims to provide application of cyclic erythropoietin-derived peptide in acute and chronic kidney injury and cyclosporin A injury protection.

Has the advantages that:
1. the novel cyclic erythropoietin-derived peptides (CHBPs) are used for protection against acute and chronic kidney injury, as well as against nephrotoxic injury from cyclosporin a (csa) during renal transplantation.
2. Establishing a stable mouse model of the toxic kidney injury of IR and CsA, researching the mechanism of acute and chronic kidney injury and observing the effect and mechanism of CHBP whether CsA treatment intervention exists; exploring the signaling pathways that the renal protection of CHBP may involve several mechanisms, it is necessary to further investigate how the potential protective mechanisms are different 2 and 8 weeks after IR and/or CsA-induced injury, in order to screen biological indicators for effective and low-invasive diagnostic and therapeutic monitoring; a novel specific gene therapy (caspase-3 siRNA) was designed to improve the survival of transplanted kidneys.
3. In the 2-8 week model, urinary albumin/creatinine was elevated following IR injury and further elevated following CsA intervention, but CHBP reversed the injury with a trend similar to tubulointerstitial injury, fibrosis, HMGB1 and active caspase-3 expression changes, but no corresponding change in SCr.
4. At weeks 2 and/or 8, IR leads to an increase in apoptotic cells and CsA and CHBP intervention can reduce apoptosis.
5. At both time points CsA treatment reduced the expression of p 70S 6 kinase, mTOR, S6ribosomal protein, GSK-3 β and caspase-3, with or without CHBP intervention, while the addition of CHBP to the IR + CsA group increased the expression of p53 and S6 RP.
6. The protection effect of CHBP is reflected in that the combined effect of the injury acute phase and CASP-3siRNA can reduce the CSA-induced TCMK-1 cell apoptosis.
7. The protection of CHBP during acute phase of renal injury is manifested by repair of IR injury, while during chronic injury, the protection of CHBP is manifested by protection of CsA nephrotoxic injury, with different underlying mechanisms. Urinary albumin/creatinine is a better biomarker compared to Scr. The CHBP and CASP-3siRNA synergistic effect can effectively reduce the CsA-induced tubular epithelial cell apoptosis.
8. CHBP decreased urinary albumin, and at weeks 2 and 4, the CsA treated group increased the urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (mg/. mu.mol) compared to the IR group (FIGS. 1A, B), and at weeks 6 and 8, the IR group increased the urinary albumin/creatinine ratio compared to the control group (FIGS. 1C, D). CHBP treatment in the IR group significantly reduced this ratio at all time points with/without CsA treatment (FIGS. 1A-D).
In addition, the dynamic distribution of urinary albumin/creatinine was higher in the IR group than in the control and CHBP-treated groups at all time points of the subsequent 2-8 weeks, and the urinary albumin/creatinine ratio was further increased by CsA (fig. 1E). However, the difference between the control and IR groups appeared to expand over time, while CHBP treatment with/without CsA reduced the difference between them. The trends for the two CsA groups with/without CHBP were unexpectedly similar, both peaking at week 4, declining at week 6, and then settling at week 8, despite the remote distance between the two.
However, at weeks 2 and 8, there was no significant difference in SCR levels in all groups (FIG. 1F, G).
9. CHBP improved tissue damage and semi-quantitative analysis of TID was performed in H & E stained sections. TID scores were significantly higher in the IR group at weeks 2 and 8 than in the control group (fig. 2A-D), and CsA was further higher at week 8 than in the IR group. Most interestingly, the IR group improved TID by CHBP treatment only at 2 weeks, and the CsA group improved TID in both time points.
Trichrome staining by Masson showed a significant increase in interstitial fibrosis in the IR group compared to the control group, but was improved by CHBP at both time points (fig. 3A-D). At week 8, CHBP in the CsA treated group significantly reduced the score of interstitial fibrosis.
10. CHBP and CsA can reduce renal cell apoptosis, ISEL detected apoptotic cells mainly located in renal tubule and interstitial region, and some cells have polymorphonuclear (FIG. 4A, C), and the glomerular region has few apoptotic cells. From the total number of apoptotic cells in the small tract, interstitial and luminal areas, IR significantly increased the total apoptotic cell number, CsA decreased the total apoptotic cell number at 2 and 8 weeks, and CHBP decreased only at 8 weeks (fig. 4B).
11. CHBP changes Caspase-3 mRNA and protein, and qPCR and Western blot are respectively used for detecting the expression of Caspase-3 mRNA and protein. Caspase-3 mRNA levels at both time points increased with the IR group, further increased in the CsA group at 2 weeks, and decreased under CHBP treatment at 8 weeks (FIGS. 5A, E).
At 8 weeks, expression of the 32kD caspase-3 precursor was reduced by CsA (FIGS. 5B, C, and F, G). Levels of 17kD active caspase-3 were elevated in the IR group at 2 weeks and continued to be elevated in the CsA group at 8 weeks, but were all reversed by CHBP treatment (FIG. 5D, H).
12. The CHBP reduces HMGB1 protein, and expression of HMGB1 is detected by Western blotting (FIG. 6A). CsA was elevated only at 8 weeks compared to the IR group, and expression of HMGB1 in the 2-week IR group and the 8-week CsA-treated group was reduced after CHBP treatment (fig. 6B, C).
13. The different proteins differed between week 2 and week 8, and the protein chip was used to simultaneously detect 18 proteins in the kidney (fig. 7A, B). At week 2, p 70S 6 kinase, mTOR, and caspase-3 were reduced in expression compared to the IR group in CsA group with or without CHBP treatment (FIG. 7C-E), whereas in CsA treated group CHBP increased p53 expression (FIG. 7F).
At 8 weeks, CsA expression of IR group S6ribosomal protein, GSK-3 β and caspase-3 was downregulated by the presence/absence of CHBP, and the IR group caspase-3 was also decreased by CHBP. However, CHBP increased the expression of S6ribosomal protein in the CsA-treated group (FIGS. 7G-I).
14. CHBP reversed the increase in caspase-3 expression and apoptosis in TCMK-1 cells caused by CsA, and caspase-3 mRNA expression levels increased with CsA concentration (2.5-20. mu.g/ml) (FIG. 8A). At 20, 40 μ g/ml, the percentage of early apoptotic cells increased significantly (fig. 8B, C), but the proportion of early apoptosis decreased significantly after treatment with CHBP, with a minimum at 20ng/ml (fig. 8D, E).
15. In the TCMK-1 cell model, caspase-3 siRNA reduced caspase-3 mRNA and apoptosis, and caspase-3 mRNA expression was reduced from 10-30nM in the CASP-3siRNA treated group compared to the control with or without NCsiRNA using 20. mu.g/ml CsA, with maximal inhibition at 30nM/ml, reduced to 64.85% (FIG. 9A). Caspase-3 mRNA expression was significantly increased under CsA but was reversed by CHBP with/without CASP-3siRNA (FIG. 9B). Similarly, CsA significantly increased early apoptotic cells, but was reversible by CHBP with or without CASP-3siRNA or NCsiRNA (FIGS. 9C, D). More interestingly, combination treatment with CHBP and CASP-3siRNA could further reduce early apoptotic cells compared to the CsA + CHBP + NCsiRNA group.
16. The primary protection of CHBP for IR injury was at 2 weeks and protection for CsA nephrotoxicity was at 8 weeks, urinary albumin/creatinine as a better biomarker than SCr. The potential signaling pathway for renal protection by CHBP is associated with different intercellular proteins, such as mTOR at 2 weeks and GSK-3 β at 8 weeks, but caspase-3 is associated at both time points. The CHBP combined with CASP-3siRNA has a profound protective effect on CsA-induced injury in TECs.

Urine samples were collected at weeks 2, 4, 6 and 8 using a metabolism cage, animals were sacrificed at weeks 2 or 8, blood samples and kidney samples were collected, kidney samples were fixed with 10% (w/v) neutral buffered formalin, stored at-80 ℃ for later use after snap freezing in liquid nitrogen, urine samples were measured for urinary albumin/creatinine using an automated biochemical analyzer, and blood samples were measured for serum creatinine (SCr) using an automated biochemical analyzer.
As shown in FIG. 1A, B, at weeks 2 and 4, the CsA-treated group increased the urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (mg/. mu.mol) compared to the IR group, and at weeks 6 and 8, as shown in FIG. 1C, D, the IR group increased the urinary albumin/creatinine ratio compared to the control group, and at all time points with/without CsA treatment, as shown in FIGS. 1A-D, the CHBP treatment in the IR group significantly decreased the ratio.
As shown in fig. 1E, the dynamic distribution of urinary albumin/creatinine was higher in the IR group than in the control and CHBP-treated groups at all time points of the subsequent 2-8 weeks, while CsA further increased the urinary albumin/creatinine ratio, but the difference between the control and IR groups appeared to increase with time, while CHBP combined CsA/CsA-free treatment diminished the difference between them. The trends for the two CsA groups with/without CHBP were unexpectedly similar, both peaking at week 4, declining at week 6, and then settling at week 8, despite the remote distance between the two.
As shown in FIG. 1F, G, there was no significant difference in the SCr levels between all groups at week 2 and week 8.
