Abstract
The application discloses application of a-lactalbumin. The application is the application of a-lactalbumin in any one of the following: (A1) Preparing a product for inhibiting coronavirus, or inhibiting coronavirus; (A2) Preparing a product for treating and/or preventing a disease caused by coronavirus infection, or treating and/or preventing a disease caused by coronavirus infection; (A3) Preparing a product that ameliorates symptoms caused by a coronavirus infection, or ameliorates symptoms caused by a coronavirus infection; (A4) Preparing a product for treating and/or preventing a disease caused by the replication of said coronavirus, or treating and/or preventing a disease caused by the replication of said coronavirus. The examples of the present application demonstrate that a-lactalbumin can inhibit the adhesion and entry of coronaviruses while also inhibiting replication following coronavirus infection.
Description
Technical Field
The application belongs to the field of medicines, and particularly relates to application of a-lactalbumin in inhibiting coronaviruses.
Background
2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV or SARS-CoV-2, eliciting novel coronavirus pneumonia COVID-19), HCoV-229E, HCoV-OC43, HCoV-NL63, HCoV-HKU1, SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV are currently known coronaviruses that can infect humans. Among them, HCoV-229E, HCoV-OC43, HCoV-NL63 and HCoV-HKU1 are less pathogenic and generally cause respiratory symptoms like common cold or pneumonia. While the other three coronaviruses are very pathogenic and infectious, the diseases they cause include severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS, 2002-2004), middle east respiratory syndrome (MERS, 2012-to-date) and novel coronavirus disease (covd-19). Therefore, how to block the transmission of coronaviruses, prevent infection and develop new effective drugs is a technical problem to be solved.
Disclosure of Invention
It is an object of the present application to provide the use of a-lactalbumin.
The application provides the use of a-lactalbumin in any of the following:
(A1) Preparing a product for inhibiting coronavirus, or inhibiting coronavirus;
(A2) Preparing a product for treating and/or preventing a disease caused by coronavirus infection, or treating and/or preventing a disease caused by coronavirus infection;
(A3) Preparing a product that ameliorates symptoms caused by a coronavirus infection, or ameliorates symptoms caused by a coronavirus infection;
(A4) Preparing a product for treating and/or preventing a disease caused by the replication of said coronavirus, or treating and/or preventing a disease caused by the replication of said coronavirus.
Herein, a-lactalbumin may be of human or animal or plant origin, or may be a recombinant protein, such as a product of Sigma, cat# L7269.
Alternatively, according to the above-mentioned application, said coronavirus is selected from at least one of HCoV-229E, HCoV-OC43, HCoV-NL63, HCoV-HKU1, SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2.
Optionally, according to the above application, the disease caused by coronavirus infection is selected from at least one of pneumonia, respiratory tract infection, common cold, severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and 2019 novel coronavirus pneumonia (covd-19).

Taking a-lactalbumin as an example, SARS-CoV-2 Luc pseudovirus was used to test for EC at the cellular level 50 0.1635mg/ml, tested simultaneously with SARS-CoV-2 infection replication System (trVLP), which is EC at cellular level 50 = 0.6809mg/ml. SARS-CoV-2 enters cells by spike protein spike to recognize receptor angiotensin converting enzyme ACE2 and other auxiliary receptors, so spike is a key factor in virus replication process, and as a-lactalbumin concentration increases, spike mediated infection entering efficiency decreases, and relative expression amount decreases. Therefore, a-lactalbumin, which is a key factor for spike and viral replication, is applicable to treatment for covd-19.

3) Results
The results are shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.
FIG. 2A shows the statistical results of inhibition ratios of the SARS-CoV-2 Luc pseudovirus infection by a-lactalbumin, wherein the concentrations of a-lactalbumin in the system are 2mg/ml, 1mg/ml, 0.5mg/ml, 0.25mg/ml, 0.125mg/ml, 0.0625mg/ml, and the average inhibition ratios of the experimental groups are 78.54%, 52.28%, 38.39%, 75.57%, 60.64% and 45.60%, respectively. In FIG. 2, B is the GFP expression condition of alpha-lactalbumin on SARS-CoV-2 GFP pseudovirus infection, and in the experimental group without adding alpha-lactalbumin, it can be seen that GFP is uniformly and obviously expressed, under the action of 0.25mg/ml alpha-lactalbumin, GFP is reduced, and under the action of 2mg/ml alpha-lactalbumin, almost no GFP expression is produced, and the infection of virus is obviously blocked, so that the alpha-lactalbumin has obvious inhibition effect on SARS-CoV-2 Luc pseudovirus and SARS-CoV-2 GFP pseudovirus.
In FIG. 3A is the GFP expression in step 2), under the action of 2mg/ml of a-lactalbumin, GFP expression is hardly generated, the protein concentration is reduced to 0.2mg/ml, GFP expression is obviously increased, and the GFP expression is distributed in a sheet shape; the protein concentration was reduced to 0.02mg/ml and GFP expression was further increased, also in a sheet-like distribution, indicating that cell fusion occurred. B in fig. 3 is step 2) viral nucleic acid RNA relative expression statistics (relative expression=2) -ΔCt (Experimental group RNA expression level)/2 -ΔCt (control RNA expression level)), when the amount of a-lactalbumin used reaches 2mg/ml, the expression level of viral RNA is low, and as the concentration of a-lactalbumin decreases, the expression level of viral RNA increases. In FIG. 3, C is a photograph of electrophoresis in a-lactalbumin step 2) Spike protein (Spike protein) western blot. SARS-CoV-2 enters cells and recognizes the receptor angiotensin converting enzyme ACE2 and other accessory receptors by spike proteins, and is therefore a key factor in the viral replication process. As the concentration of the a-lactalbumin increases, the relative expression amount of spike protein decreases, which shows that the a-lactalbumin also has obvious inhibition effect on SARS-CoV-2 replicon live virus.

After 2 hours, the supernatant was discarded, and washed 3 times with PBS buffer to remove virus particles that did not enter the cells, and then again in the cell culture wellThe concentrations of 2mg/ml, 1mg/ml, 0.5mg/ml, 0.25mg/ml, 0.125mg/ml, 0.0625mg/ml, 0.03125mg/ml and 0.015625mg/ml of a-lactalbumin in the system were added, respectively. The negative control group was Vero E6 cells inoculated into 24-well plates, and the next day, PBS equivalent to a-lactalbumin was added to the cell culture wells, followed by the addition of the virus SARS-CoV-2 Luc,650 TCID 50 /well. After 2 hours, the supernatant was discarded, and washed 3 times with PBS buffer to remove virus particles that did not enter the cells. The intracellular luciferase was quantified and the inhibition was counted 24h after virus infection by the method of Luciferase Assay System. The inhibition rate calculation method comprises the following steps: each group was tested using Luciferase Assay System to obtain the number, and the number of the added a-lactalbumin group was divided by the number of the negative control group, multiplied by 100%, to obtain the infection rate of the corresponding added a-lactalbumin group, inhibition rate (%) =100% -infection rate (%). Cytotoxicity of a-lactalbumin to Vero E6 was measured using CCK8 activity assay.
