Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of biological medicines, and particularly relates to application of L-malic acid in preparation of a medicine for preventing and treating liver ischemia-reperfusion injury.
Technical Field
Ischemia Reperfusion Injury (IRI) refers to the phenomenon that blood circulation is restored after a period of Ischemia of a tissue organ, and cell dysfunction and tissue structure damage are not reduced but aggravated. Ischemia reperfusion injury can occur in many vital organs including the heart, liver, lung, kidney, gastrointestinal tract, and the like.
Liver Ischemia Reperfusion Injury (HIRI) is a common complication in liver surgical operations such as hepatectomy and liver transplantation, and is one of the main reasons for poor surgical effect and liver transplantation failure. Severe HIRI can lead to massive death of hepatocytes, which in turn can lead to liver failure and even death of the patient. According to the existing research reports, the pathophysiological process has a complex occurrence mechanism, and a practical and effective method and a specific medicine aiming at HIRI are still lacking clinically at present; therefore, how to prevent and treat the liver ischemia-reperfusion injury becomes a great medical research direction.
Iron death (Ferroptosis) is a new type of programmed cell death pathway dependent on iron, and has obvious differences from apoptosis, necrosis and autophagy in aspects of morphology, biochemistry, genetics and the like. The occurrence of iron death is closely related to a variety of biochemical processes, including polyunsaturated fatty acid, iron and amino acid metabolism, and biosynthesis of glutathione, phospholipids, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate and coenzyme Q10; specifically, the expression level of lipid peroxidation and the expression level of the marker gene Ptgs2 can be increased. Recent studies found that cellular iron death (Ferroptosis) is one of the important molecular mechanisms of ischemia reperfusion injury of liver. The use of specific inhibitors of iron death can effectively alleviate hepatic ischemia reperfusion injury in a mouse model, and therefore iron death is a therapeutic target with potential clinical application.
L-malic acid (L-Malate), also known as L-malic acid, is an important organic acid produced during the metabolic process of organisms. It plays a key role in the tricarboxylic acid cycle in which mitochondria generate energy substances ATP, is also an important component of a malic acid-aspartic acid shuttle system, and plays an important role in transferring reducing equivalents between cytoplasm and mitochondria. The L-malic acid is safe, non-toxic, harmless and edible, and has physiological functions of improving exercise capacity, resisting fatigue, protecting heart, improving memory, etc.
The Chinese patent application with the publication number of CN109966278A discloses the application of oxalyl malic acid in preparing the medicine for treating nerve cell injury; an academic paper, clinical application of sodium acetate malate ringer's solution in perioperative liver ischemia protection [ D ], discloses that the sodium acetate malate ringer's solution can relieve early liver injury after partial resection of the liver, reduce postoperative lactic acid level and protect liver function.

Example 1 animal experiments: application of L-malic acid in preparation of medicine for preventing and treating liver ischemia reperfusion injury
1. Materials and methods
1.1 Experimental animals
SPF grade C57BL/6 male mice at 6 weeks of age were purchased from Jiangsu Jiejiaokang Biotech, Inc. and bred in SPF environment. After 2 weeks of acclimation feeding, standard feed AIN-76A (Research Diets, Inc) was randomly assigned to each group of 8-10 animals by body weight.
1.2 Experimental drugs
L-malic acid was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (cat. 02288) and had a purity of 99% or higher, and was dissolved in physiological saline.
1.3 construction of mouse liver ischemia-reperfusion model
Mice were anesthetized with isoflurane (3% concentration for anesthesia induction, 1.5% concentration for anesthesia maintenance) and fixed on a 37 ℃ thermostated platform, depilated routinely, sterilized with alcohol cotton balls. The skin and muscle are cut once along the median line of the abdomen, the falciform ligament and the left and right triangular ligaments around the liver are separated, the blood vessel of the hepatic portal part is fully exposed, and the portal vein, the hepatic artery and the common bile duct are clamped by a miniature nondestructive vascular clamp (the color of the hepatic lobe is changed from bright red to dark). At the beginning of the protocol, the incision was covered with warm saline gauze. After 1 hour of ischemia, the vascular clamps are released, and the blood flow of the liver lobes is restored and the abdomen is closed layer by layer. After 6 hours of reperfusion, mice were sacrificed and liver tissue and blood samples were left.
Grouping experiments:
after 2 weeks of standard dietary equilibration, 6-week-old C57BL/6 male mice were randomly assigned to 4 groups, the first and second groups were sham (only anesthesia and laparotomy, and only liver tissue was isolated by traction), and the third and fourth groups were subjected to liver ischemia reperfusion (1 hour of ischemia, 6 hours of reperfusion).
In which the second and fourth groups were intraperitoneally injected with L-malic acid (10 mg/kg body weight) 2 hours before ischemia and 10 hours before reperfusion, and the first and third groups were administered with the same dose of physiological saline at the same time point.
Mice were dissected after completion of reperfusion, serum and liver tissue were collected, and serum liver injury markers, liver pathological changes, and iron death levels were examined.
1.4 detection of serum liver injury markers
After the collected blood was left at room temperature for 2 hours, the serum was collected by centrifugation at 3000g for 10 minutes. The contents of alanine Aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) and Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) in serum were measured by a Roche COAS INTEGRA 800 full-automatic biochemical analyzer, and the results are shown in FIG. 1.
As shown in fig. 1, compared with the sham operation group, the serum contents of the three enzymes in the ischemia reperfusion group are significantly increased, which indicates that the liver injury modeling is successful; the treatment of the L-malic acid has no influence on a sham operation group, which indicates that the L-malic acid is safe and harmless; the L-malic acid treatment can obviously reduce the content of the enzymes in the mice subjected to liver ischemia reperfusion, and the protective effect of the L-malic acid treatment on the liver function in the pathological state is suggested.

And (3) reversing: GGGGATACACCTCTCCACCA
The results are shown in fig. 3A, where L-malic acid treatment was able to significantly fallback the iron death marker gene elevated due to liver ischemia reperfusion injury.
1.7 determination of Malondialdehyde (MDA) in liver tissue
Malondialdehyde (MDA) is a product of lipid oxidation in living organisms, and the content of MDA can be used for judging the level of lipid oxidation in cells, MDA generated by degradation of peroxidized lipids can be condensed with thiobarbituric acid to generate a red product, and a maximum absorption peak is formed at 532 nm. Therefore, the detection of the MDA content can reflect the lipid peroxidation degree in the organism, and can indirectly indicate the iron death degree of the cells. The invention adopts a Biyuntian Biotechnology (Beyotime Biotechnology) lipid oxidation (MDA) detection kit (S0131), and the operations are carried out according to the instruction:
(1) homogenizing and cracking the tissue by PBS;
(2) centrifuging at 1, 600g for 10 minutes, and taking the supernatant for subsequent measurement;
(3) measuring the protein concentration so as to calculate the MDA content in the tissue or the cell by unit protein weight;
(4) weighing a proper amount of TBA, and preparing TBA storage solution with the concentration of 0.37% by using TBA preparation solution;
(5) preparing MDA detection working solution;
(6) diluting a proper amount of standard substance with distilled water to 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 mu M for subsequent standard curve preparation;
(7) adding 0.1ml PBS into a centrifuge tube as a blank control, adding 0.1ml of the standard substance with different concentrations for preparing a standard curve, adding 0.1ml sample for determination, and then adding 0.2ml MDA detection working solution;
(8) after mixing uniformly, heating for 15 minutes at 100 ℃ or in a boiling water bath;
(9) cooling to room temperature, and centrifuging at 1,000 g for 10 minutes at room temperature;
(10) 200. mu.l of the supernatant was added to a 96-well plate, followed by measurement of absorbance at 532nm with a microplate reader.
The results are shown in fig. 3B, where ischemia reperfusion injury can significantly increase MDA levels in mouse liver, suggesting the occurrence of lipid peroxidation and iron death; after the L-malic acid is used for treatment, MDA (increased MDA) of the mouse liver after injury is obviously inhibited, which shows that the L-malic acid can inhibit the iron death process which takes lipid peroxidation as a key molecular mechanism.
1.8 statistical methods
All data are expressed as mean ± standard error (mean ± SD) and statistically analyzed using GraphPad Prism (version 6.0, GraphPad software; san diego, CA, USA) statistical software. P < 0.05 represents that the difference is significant and has statistical significance.
2. Results of the experiment
The results show that L-malic acid treatment significantly inhibited the serum liver injury markers significantly upregulated by surgery (fig. 1) and the pathological changes in liver (fig. 2) compared to the ischemia-reperfusion group alone, demonstrating its protective effect on liver function. At the same time, the level of iron death significantly activated by ischemia reperfusion treatment was also significantly inhibited by L-malate (fig. 3).
And (4) conclusion: based on the experiments, the application of L-malic acid to inhibit iron death is a novel therapy for preventing and treating liver ischemia reperfusion.
