Description

Application of tretinoin in treatment of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of medicines, and particularly relates to application of tretinoin to treatment of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria.
Technical Field
Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a clonal disease of acquired hematopoietic stem cell gene mutations, mainly characterized clinically by thrombosis, hemolytic anemia and bone marrow failure. The incidence of PNH is low, only 2.8/1000000, and the PNH is included in the first rare disease list in China. PNH pathogenesis is currently thought to be associated with mutations in the PIG-A gene on one or more hematopoietic stem cell X chromosomes. The gene product of PIG-A is necessary for synthesizing GPI anchor protein, and PIG-A mutation enables GPI anchor chain protein synthesis to be blocked, so that the membrane anchor chain protein is lost, the capability of resisting complement attack of cells is weakened, and the cells are easy to damage and cause hemolysis. However, this mechanism does not explain the full clinical picture of PNH including bone marrow failure and thrombus susceptibility.
Therapeutic strategies for PNH include terminal complement blockade and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is the only radical treatment method, but the high treatment cost of the allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is prohibitive for poor patients, and meanwhile, the treatment-related death caused by the large dose of chemotherapy during pretreatment and rejection reaction after transplantation is also a problem which cannot be ignored by the treatment. Since 2007, successful application of complement inhibitors represented by eculizumab is promising for PNH patients, but it is expensive, and a great burden is imposed on patients by lifelong medication and regular medication. Meanwhile, the medicine can only control hemolytic symptoms of patients and can not completely cure PNH. Once administered, the patient is infused biweekly until the patient dies or PNH disappears spontaneously (rarely occurs), followed by uncontrolled hemolysis and complications if treatment is discontinued. Meanwhile, in the current clinical treatment, the treatment contradiction caused by thrombocytopenia and easy thrombosis of PNH patients is lacked, and the targeted treatment measures are also lacked.
Currently, the drug development of PNH mostly takes well-known PNH pathogenesis-related molecules or signal pathways such as CD59, CD55, PIG-A gene mutation and the like as drug targets, and the drug development based on PNH pathogenesis functional genomics is not reported. Although domestic scholars apply a high-throughput sequencing technology to carry out complete transcriptomic research on T cells in PNH patients, the change of the PNH pathogenesis related functional genomics cannot be comprehensively and systematically clarified due to the limitation of the number and the cell types of the patients, so that more deep drug research and development cannot be carried out on the change of the PNH pathogenesis related functional genomics.
The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances.

Compared with the current common scheme of clinical PNH, the traditional Chinese medicine composition has good economy and high safety, can effectively reduce complications such as hemolysis, thrombus and the like, recovers the hematopoietic function of bone marrow, and can effectively relieve and even cure clinical symptoms of intractable PNH patients.
2) Tretinoin is an active metabolite or derivative of vitamin A, is a natural small molecular substance which can be synthesized by human bodies, has slight toxic effect compared with the traditional treatment, and can be taken for a long time under the condition of not influencing the life quality of patients.

Example 1 prediction based on Credit analysis
The invention predicts that the retinoic acid has a treatment effect on PNH by using the expression profile of the PNH patient and PigA gene mutation expression profile data and applying a functional genomics method.
The method comprises the following steps:
the expression profile of the PNH patient and PigA gene mutation expression profile data obtained in the earlier stage are applied.
Firstly, an Impute program package is used for carrying out normalization processing and annotation on the expression profile.
And then screening differential genes in the expression profile by using a Limma software package, wherein the screening standard of the differential genes is that FDR is less than 0.05, and | Log2FC | > 1, and obtaining characteristic expression genes of PNH patients and PigA gene mutation.
And then, performing multi-group chemical association analysis on PNH patients and PigA gene mutation characteristic expression genes by using an appearance accurate treatment prediction platform (EpiMed) designed based on the theories of 'system biology' and 'comparative functional genomics', searching for drugs or compounds capable of treating PNH action in known compounds and clinical common drugs, and selecting potential effective drugs in a prediction result according to the | association coefficient | 0.1 and the threshold value P < 0.05.
Finally, retinoic acid is predicted to be a candidate for the treatment of PNH.
As a result: integration analysis aiming at PNH disease genome and retinoic acid drug genome shows that the therapeutic effect of retinoic acid on PNH is mainly related to three signal pathways, namely Apoptosis, B cell receptor signaling pathway and hematotoitic cell link.
As shown in fig. 1, 2 and 3, black squares indicate that down-regulation or up-regulation genes are caused by PNH onset and PigA mutation, and asterisked retinoic acid action molecules are marked, wherein the action site of Apoptosis signal retinoic acid is different from the PNH onset site, and the change of the pathway after PNH onset is reversed mainly by activating downstream signal molecules to exert action on the pathway, while B cell receptor signaling pathway and hematotoitic cell pathway act on key sites of PNH onset and realize treatment action by up-regulating the gene expression level.
And (4) conclusion: bioinformatics analysis preliminarily predicts the signal path and potential sites of retinoic acid to PNH treatment, and provides guidance for follow-up mechanism research and clinical treatment.
Example 2 clinical trials of tretinoin treatment of PNH
After the preliminary cytological test to verify the preliminary effectiveness, the present example carries out clinical verification, specifically:
the administration subjects were: 6 cases of definitively diagnosed PNH patients who failed first line therapy;
the administration scheme is as follows: tretinoin protocol (100 mg/d);
the treatment time is as follows: median treatment time 12 months;
clinical response: CR 5 cases and PR 1 cases, and the total effective rate is 100 percent. The gastrointestinal reaction or intolerance phenomena such as headache, nausea, diarrhea and the like do not occur in the treatment period of the patients. Meanwhile, hemolysis and thrombosis of patients are improved remarkably, and hemoglobin of 6 patients is increased and is separated from blood transfusion (see figure 4).
Figure BDA0002752327370000081
The above test results show that: the tretinoin has the effect of treating PNH and has slight toxic and side effects. The practical recommended scheme is as follows: tretinoin 1mg-100mg, and can be administered by oral, intravenous, intramuscular injection, subcutaneous or aerosol inhalation.
The above description of the specific embodiments of the present invention is not intended to limit the present invention, and those skilled in the art may make various changes and modifications according to the present invention without departing from the spirit of the present invention, which is defined by the scope of the appended claims.
