Description

Application of ellagic acid and metabolite thereof as natural inhibitor in preparation of anti-cell apoptosis drug
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of biological medicines, and particularly relates to application of ellagic acid and a metabolite thereof as a natural inhibitor in preparation of a medicine for resisting cell scorching.
Background
Apoptosis is a newly discovered mode of programmed cell death. After the inflammasome is activated, caspase-1/4/5/11 is cut, the cut mature cysteine acts on gasdermin D (dermolide D, GSDMD), the formed GSDMD-N end forms a hole on a cell membrane through oligomerization, water inflow is generated, ion gradients inside and outside the cell membrane disappear, and the cell is swollen, osmotically dissolved and finally cracked to die.
More and more researches show that after cells are burnt and killed, the cells can form pores, and gradually expand until the cell membranes are ruptured, so that a large amount of inflammatory mediators in the cells are released, the inflammatory reaction is accelerated, and serious tissue damage is caused. Activated caspase1 in the process of focal death can convert Pro-IL-1 beta into active IL-1 beta, and can also promote GSDMD (glutathione S-methyl diphosphate) characteristic of focal death to be sheared into GSDMD-N with the effect of promoting focal death, thus completing the cell membrane perforating effect, inflammatory mediators IL-1 beta, IL-18 and cell contents are released to the outside of cells through cell membrane fissures to cause cascade inflammatory reaction, meanwhile, water molecules enter the cells through the cell membrane fissures, and the cells are swollen, ruptured and dead. Activated caspase3 also cleaves GSDME to GSDME-N to complete the process of pyro-death.
The chronic metabolic inflammatory reaction mediated by inflammatory factors plays an important role in the occurrence and development of chronic diseases, and the continuous secretion of the inflammatory factors of cells for a long time causes the cascade reaction of inflammation. Previous studies have shown that apoptosis of cells is associated with a variety of diseases, such as diabetes, atherosclerosis, diabetic nephropathy, acute lung injury, hyperuricemia, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, psoriasis, myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury, viral hepatitis, and the like. In the case of diabetes, the inventor of the present application found that inflammatory signaling pathways are activated in diabetic mice to aggravate the development of diabetes, and mainly inflammatory factors such as TNF-alpha, CRP, IL-1 beta and the like are continuously at a slightly elevated level. Persistent hyperglycemia in diabetic patients activates NOD-like receptor protein 3(NLRP3) inflammasome, which in turn activates IL-1 β -mediated inflammatory responses upon caspase-1 activation, resulting in inflammation of the pancreas and damage to the pancreas. Therefore, the inhibition of pancreatic NLRP3/IL-1 beta signal is an important target signal for resisting islet beta cell apoptosis, resisting inflammation and protecting pancreas. However, the current clinical commonly used therapeutic drugs mainly delay diabetes by controlling blood sugar, and the long-term application of partial sulfonylurea hypoglycemic drugs even causes the exhaustion of insulin secretion, so that the research and development of natural drugs with pancreas protection effects are very necessary.
GSDMDM is the last co-effector protein downstream of inflammatory body activation, a key conserved gate protein involved in inflammation, is cleaved by caspases at the junction of the N-terminal domain (GSDMDM-NT) and the self-inhibitory C-terminal domain (GSDMDM-CT), and, when activated by caspase, gasdermin D (GSDMD) is cut in half, releasing the active fragment, known as gasdermin-D-NT. GSDMDM-NT can combine with acidic phospholipid on the inner surface of plasma membrane and perforate the membrane to release inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1 beta and IL-18, and induce apoptosis. The discovery of GSDMD as the last common step in the activation of inflammasome to cause apoptosis and inflammatory cytokine release provides a new approach to the targeted treatment of inflammatory diseases such as sepsis. Therefore, the development of an inhibitor of GSDMD is of great interest because it may inhibit the inflammatory response triggered by any stimulus, which is co-induced by activation of all the inflammasome pathways, unlike NLRP3 inhibitors which inhibit only one specific inflammasome. In addition, blocking GSDMDM-mediated cell membrane perforation may inhibit the release of a variety of inflammatory molecules associated with apoptosis, unlike IL-1 β or IL-18 inhibitors which act on only one downstream pathway. GSDMD is a gatekeeper of the pathway leading to apoptosis and inflammatory cytokine extravasation.
gasdermin E (dermatan E, GSDME) is a newly discovered protein, and the research on the function and the structure of the protein promotes the development of targeted drugs, so that various diseases related to cell apoptosis can be treated. GSDME is mainly expressed in tissues such as brain, cochlea, heart, kidney, placenta, etc. Caspase-3 associated with apoptosis can specifically cleave GSDME under the activation of chemotherapeutic drugs, tumor necrosis factor, virus infection and the like, causing cell apoptosis in GSDME-highly expressed cells, and caspase-3 activation induces cell apoptosis and secondary necrosis in GSDME-deficient cells. GSDME-associated deafness usually develops before 15 years of age and is manifested as progressive hearing loss, and its main mechanism is that deletion of exon 8 of the GSDME-encoding gene causes "gain of function" frame shift mutation, resulting in truncated C-terminal domain of the GSDME protein, which cannot effectively inhibit pore-forming activity of N-terminal domain, eventually causing apoptosis, but the reason why cochlear capillaries are particularly sensitive to GSDME gene mutation is not clear at present.
In conclusion, GSDMD and GSDME are important factors causing cell apoptosis, and if a compound capable of inhibiting the expression of the GSDMD and the GSDME can be found, the GSDMD and the GSDME can become an attractive drug target to prevent the cell apoptosis when needed so as to prevent various inflammatory chronic diseases. However, no natural drug has been reported as a GSDMD, GSDME inhibitor so far.

1.3 animal model preparation
c57BL/6 mice were acclimatized to normal diet for 1 week before use in the experiment, with illumination intensity of 200lx from 9 am to 21 pm daily. The feeding environment is controlled at 22-24 deg.C and relative humidity of 30-40%, and is kept in a relatively stable clean environment. Food and water are freely available. All animals were cared for according to the convention for animal protection, and the study was approved by the ethical committee of the university of medical, Xinjiang.
Mice were randomly divided into 4 groups (10 mice per group) by body weight, specifically, a Normal control group (Normal group), a diabetes Model group (Model group), an ellagic acid group (EA group) and a urolithin a group (UroA group), the Normal control group was fed with a Normal diet, and the Model group, the EA group and the UroA group were fed with a high fat diet. After high-fat feeding for 6 weeks, 2d of continuous intraperitoneal injection of STZ (85mg/kg/d) after fasting without water prohibition for 12 hours induces diabetes, and the same volume of citric acid-sodium citrate buffer solution is intraperitoneally injected in a normal group. After 2 days, cutting the tail and taking blood to measure the blood sugar, and successfully molding by taking fasting blood sugar >11.1 mmol/L.
1.4 animal administration
After each group (Model group, EA group and UroA group) is fed with high-fat feed for 6 weeks, 2d of intraperitoneal injection of STZ is continuously carried out, after the molding is successful, distilled water is fed into the Normal group and the Model group by intragastric gavage at the weight of 0.1mL/10g, EA and UroA are respectively fed into the EA group and the UroA group at the weight dose of 50mg/kg, and the intervention time of each group is 8 weeks.
1.5 Biochemical index of plasma
At the end of the experiment, all mice were fasted for 6h without water deprivation, weighed and fasting blood glucose measured. Collecting blood from the fundus vein2Centrifuging at 3000r/min for 10min in an EDTA coated anticoagulant tube to separate bloodAnd (5) subpackaging the slurry, and freezing and storing at-80 ℃ for later use. For the detection of Glucagon (GC), C-reactive protein (CRP). See tables 1-2 for results.

In Table 1, P is compared with Normal group<0.01; compared with a Model group##P<0.01. The results in Table 1 show that fasting plasma glucose and glucagon GC are significantly increased in Model group mice compared to Normal group mice (P<0.01); EA or UroA intervention mice had significantly lower fasting plasma glucose and plasma GC (P) compared to Model group mice<0.01). Therefore, EA and UroA can improve the pancreatic hormone secretion disorder of diabetes and have the treatment effect on diabetes.

In Table 2, P is compared with Normal group<0.05,**P<0.01; compared with a Model group#P<0.05,##P<0.01. Compared with Normal group mice, the plasma C-reactive protein CRP content of Model group mice is remarkably increased (P)<0.01); the plasma CRP levels were significantly reduced in EA or UroA-intervened mice (P) compared to Model group mice<0.01). In the state of type 2 diabetes, a large amount of inflammatory factors are generated in islet tissues, so that an inflammatory cascade reaction occurs, the islet tissues can directly or indirectly act on pancreas and damage pancreatic cells, the death of the pancreatic cells is promoted, the secretion function of the pancreas is disordered, and hyperglycemia is caused. CRP is protein which rises sharply in blood plasma when an organism is infected or tissues are damaged, and the results in Table 2 suggest that EA and UroA can reduce the secretion of proinflammatory factors, further reduce the tissue damage caused by inflammatory reaction, and the effects of EA and UroA are equivalent.
1.6 staining with hematoxylin-eosin to observe pathological changes
After the administration, the mouse pancreas tissue is soaked in 4% (v/v) paraformaldehyde for 24h, and after the fixation is completed, dehydration, paraffin embedding, slicing (thickness 3-5 μm), and then the mouse pancreas tissue is placed in an oven at 60 ℃ overnight. Soaking paraffin sections in xylene for 20min × 2 times, soaking in anhydrous alcohol for 10min × 2 times, sequentially soaking in 95% ethanol, 90% ethanol, 80% ethanol, and 70% ethanol for 5min, and washing with distilled water. And placing the rehydrated pancreatic tissue slices in Harris hematoxylin staining solution for staining for 10min, lightly washing with tap water, differentiating with 1% by volume of hydrochloric acid ethanol for several seconds, lightly washing with tap water, turning blue with 0.5% by volume of ammonia water, and washing with tap water again. Hematoxylin-stained pancreatic tissue sections were immersed in eosin stain for approximately 3min, xylene 5min x 2 times, neutral gum mounted, coverslipped, viewed under a microscope and photographed. Results referring to FIG. 1 and Table 3, FIGS. 1a-d are for the Normal group, Model group, EA group, and UroA group, respectively.
As can be seen from FIG. 1, the islet cells of the Normal group of mice are Normal in morphology, uniform in size, large in islet number and cells in the islets, full in cytoplasm, and clear in islet boundary. Compared with a Normal group, the Model group mice have disorganized islet cell morphology and structure, extremely small islet quantity, severe atrophy of the islets, disordered shape, loose cytoplasm, fuzzy islet boundaries, irregular shape and extremely few cells in the islets; some had mild punctate necrosis and edema. Compared with the Model group, the mouse islets of the EA group and the UroA group are smaller, but the shape and the structure are basically normal, the boundaries of the islets and the exocrine part are clearer, the number of the islet cells is increased compared with that of the diabetes Model group, and the islet area is increased. In the UroA group, the islets were smaller and the number of islets was smaller than in the EA group. HE staining results suggest a better EA effect.

Table 4 results show that the pancreatic tissue of Model group mice has significantly increased expression of GSDMD, GSDMD-N, GSDME, and GSDME-N proteins (P) compared to that of Normal group mice (P)<0.01); EA and UroA intervention mice showed significant reduction of GSDMD, GSDMD-N, GSDME and GSDME-N protein expression in pancreatic tissue (P) compared to Model group mice<0.01); compared with the EA group, the protein expression of the GSDME and the GSDME-N in the pancreatic tissues of the mice intervened by the UroA is increased, the GSDMD is reduced, and the GSDMDM-N is not different, which indicates that the EA inhibits the GSDME and the GSDME-N more obviously, while the function of the UroA in inhibiting the GSDMD is stronger, and the UroA in inhibiting the GSD is inhibitedThe two functions in the MD-N aspect are similar, and no difference is found. FIG. 2 is a western blot analysis of GSDMD, GSDMDM-N, GSDME-N, and lanes 1-4 are the UroA group, the Normal group, the Model group, and the EA group, respectively.
The research of the embodiment finds that pancreatic cells have the phenomenon of apoptosis in the diabetic high glycolipid state, and the expression levels of the apoptosis protein GSDMD and GSDME in the apoptosis signal pathway are increased. The mechanism of the method is that the high-sugar lipid promotes the key molecule GSDMD of the burn-out in the pancreas, the GSDME expression is increased, and the burn-out is suggested to play a role in the pancreatic inflammatory reaction induced by the high-sugar lipid. GSDMD, GSDME-mediated apoptosis of cells is involved in diabetic pancreatic injury. After EA or UroA stem prognosis, the process of pancreatic caspase1/GSDMD mediated apoptosis and caspase3/GSDME mediated apoptosis-to-focalism is obviously inhibited, and further, the pancreatic inflammation caused by the apoptosis of the diabetic mouse cells is inhibited.

The expression of autophagy-related protein in pancreatic tissues is determined by a Western Blot method, and compared with Normal mice, the expression of LC3II/I, P62 protein in pancreatic tissues of Model mice is obviously increased (P)<0.01), significant reduction in ATG5 and Parkin protein expression (P)<0.01), the expression of PINK1 and ATG7 proteins is obviously not different (P)>0.01); compared with Model group mice, the expression of P62 protein in pancreatic tissues of mice with EA or UroA intervention is remarkably reduced (P)<0.01), the expression of ATG5 protein is obviously increasedHigh (P)<0.01); significant reduction of LC3 II/protein I EA group (P)<0.01), the UroA group was significantly elevated (P)<0.01), no significant difference in ATG7 expression was observed; compared with the EA group, the expression of LC3II/I, P62 and Parkin proteins in pancreatic tissues of the mice is obviously increased by UroA intervention (P)<0.01), the expression of ATG5 protein is increased (P)<0.05), the expression of PINK1 and ATG7 has no obvious difference.
FIG. 3 is a western blot assay of LC3II/I, ATG5, Parkin, ATG7, PINK1, p62 of example 1 of the present invention; lanes 1-4 are UroA, Normal, Model and EA panels, respectively; lanes 1-5 of FIG. 3B are UroA, Model 1, Normal, Model 2 and EA sets, respectively (two Model set lanes are made herein for ease of comparing the bands).
Unlike "apoptosis," autophagy "is a self-digestion process that degrades proteins and organelles under cellular stress, and can maintain cellular homeostasis, facilitating cell survival. ATG5 and ATG7 as autophagy-related proteins can participate in the formation of autophagosomes, and PINKL/Parkin is a main mode for controlling the autophagy of mitochondria by removing damage and redundant mitochondria through large autophagy
The results show that LC3II/I and p62 expressions are obviously increased and ATG5 and Parkin are obviously reduced in pancreatic tissues of diabetes model mice, which indicates that autophagosome in pancreatic of the diabetes model mice generates more and degrades less, and then autophagy flow disorder occurs; after EA stem cell, LC3II/I, p62 protein is obviously reduced, and ATG5 is obviously increased, which indicates that EA enables pancreatic autophagosome to generate less and degrade more, and improves autophagy flow disorder; interestingly, after UroA intervention, LC3II/I, ATG5 and Parkin were significantly elevated and p62 expression was significantly reduced, UroA cleared pancreatic autophagy flow. No significant difference was observed between groups, ATG7 and PINK 1. In conclusion, the results suggest that PINK1/Parkin mediated mitophagy plays a role in resisting high fat combined with STZ induced pancreatic apoptosis, and the autophagy regulation and control effect provides a potential treatment strategy for diabetic pancreatic injury.
In conclusion, the study of this example shows that EA and the metabolite UroA thereof have protective effects on high fat combined STZ-induced pancreatic injury of type 2 diabetic mice, and the mechanism of EA and the metabolite UroA thereof is related to inhibition of apoptosis and inflammatory signal pathways and regulation of pancreatic mitochondrial autophagy process. The research preliminarily reveals the benefit of the plant polyphenol ellagic acid and the metabolite urolithin A thereof on the protection of the pancreas of the diabetes mellitus, and is worthy of further research and development.
