Description

Application of musclin in preparation of medicine for inhibiting muscle adiposis, fibrosis and atrophy
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of polypeptide medicines, in particular to application of Musclin in preparing medicines for inhibiting muscle adiposis, fibrosis and atrophy.
Background
Muscle atrophy (muscular atrophy) can be caused by a variety of causes including hereditary, denervation, senile, traumatic, disuse, etc., and its main pathological features are a decrease in the number of muscle fibers and a decrease in the volume of muscle fibers, resulting in a state of decreased muscle mass, often accompanied by decreased muscle strength. Meanwhile, a large amount of fat cell infiltration and fiber deposition can occur in atrophied muscle, so that muscle regeneration is hindered, the progress of the condition of the muscular atrophy is further promoted, usually, the fat cell infiltration and the fiber deposition are both chronic progressive development, no effective means is available for radical treatment, the muscular atrophy treatment is difficult, and the patient is difficult to recover. At present, methods for treating muscular atrophy include physical therapy, nutrition enhancement and exercise, surgical treatment, drug therapy, and the like.
US20190270785A1(Musclin peptides and methods of use of thermoof) discloses a method of using polypeptide Musclin to promote muscle growth and improve muscle health, which has certain promoting effect on preventing muscle atrophy due to improved growth and performance of muscle cells. However, this patent does not mention other effects of Musclin except for promotion of hypertrophy of muscle cells, and the medicinal value of Musclin is not sufficiently developed, resulting in limitation of the range of application of Musclin.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide the application of the Musclin in preparing the medicines for inhibiting muscle adiposity, fibrosis and atrophy so as to solve the technical problem that the action target of the polypeptide Musclin is not fully explored.
In order to achieve the purpose, the invention adopts the following technical scheme:
use of Musclin in the manufacture of a medicament for inhibiting muscle adipogenesis, fibrosis and atrophy.
Adopt above-mentioned technical scheme's principle and beneficial effect:
musclin is a bioactive factor secreted by skeletal muscle, and has regulating effect on metabolism of organism. In addition to the effects of inhibiting degeneration during muscular atrophy, the inventors found that Musclin also has the effects of inhibiting muscle adipogenesis and fibrosis, thereby preventing and treating muscular atrophy. Musclin can be used as a polypeptide drug in the medical practice of muscle tissue repair and muscular atrophy resistance. The Musclin not only can directly treat the atrophy of muscle cells, but also can relieve the adverse reaction generated after the atrophy of the muscle cells, thereby expanding the application of the Musclin. In the actual treatment of patients, Musclin can be used for treatment according to the specific conditions of the patients, and the administration mode, the administration amount and the administration timing are selected according to the target treatment targets of the treatment scheme. In addition, as the present protocol finds the role of Musclin in inhibiting muscle adipogenesis and fibrosis, Musclin may also be used in the treatment of muscle adipogenesis and fibrosis caused by other factors including muscle atrophy.
Among them, the muscular adipogenesis refers to a phenomenon of fat cell infiltration occurring during the degenerative process of muscle tissue. Muscle fibrosis refers to the phenomenon that extracellular matrix is deposited in muscle tissues during muscle degeneration, resulting in muscle fibrosis. The inventor discovers through in vivo experiments and in vitro experiments that Musclin can act on precursor cells in muscles causing muscle adiposity, directly promotes apoptosis of fat precursor cells, and realizes the inhibition effect on muscle adiposity through the acting target. Fibrosis is one of typical pathological changes of muscle atrophy, muscle cells become small after muscle atrophy, a part of reserved space is occupied by fibrous tissues, regeneration of muscle stem cells is inhibited, regeneration of the muscle stem cells is hindered, and the muscle atrophy is further promoted by the atrophy of the muscle cells. In the scheme, the inventor finds that the Musclin can directly act on precursor cells causing fibrosis through in vivo and in vitro experiments, and further inhibits the progress of muscle fibrosis, so that the therapeutic effect on muscle atrophy is realized.
In summary, although the prior art suggests that Musclin has the efficacy of promoting hypertrophy of muscle cells, we found that Musclin can inhibit muscle fibrosis and adipogenesis by regulating fibroblast/adipogenic precursor cell (FAP), thereby improving pathological degeneration of muscle atrophy. Since muscle fibrosis and adiposity are not only present in muscle wasting diseases, the present invention expands the indications of Musclin and can be applied to other diseases with muscle fibrosis and adiposity phenomena.
Further, the amino acid sequence of Musclin is shown in SEQ ID NO. 1. The protein with the amino acid sequence shown as SEQ ID NO.1 consists of 80 th-112 th amino acids of whole Musclin protein, and has obvious effect of inhibiting muscle adiposis and fibrosis.
Further, the Musclin is an apoptosis promoter of fibroblast/adipogenic precursor cells.
Further, the Musclin is an inhibitor of proliferation of fibroblast/adipogenic precursor cells.
The inventor researches and discovers that under the action of Musclin, the proliferation of muscle fibroblast/adipogenic precursor cells (FAP) is inhibited and the apoptosis process of the FAP is promoted, and the phenomenon that the space between muscle cells is filled by fat cells and extracellular matrix is relieved. Therefore, besides directly acting on muscle cells, the Musclin also acts on fibroblast/adipogenic precursor cells, and achieves the effects of inhibiting muscle adipogenesis and fibrosis by inhibiting proliferation of the fibroblast/adipogenic precursor cells and promoting apoptosis of the fibroblast/adipogenic precursor cells, thereby further promoting the treatment of muscle atrophy. Furthermore, the properties of Musclin to inhibit proliferation and promote apoptosis of fibroblast/adipogenic precursor cells may also be applied to the treatment of muscle adipogenesis and fibrosis caused by other causes.

Unless otherwise specified, the technical means used in the following examples are conventional means well known to those skilled in the art; the experimental methods used are all conventional methods; the materials, reagents and the like used are all commercially available.
Example 1: study of the action of Musclin in inhibiting muscle adipogenesis
The Musclin used in this protocol was purchased from shanghai gill polypeptide Ltd (GL Biochem co., Ltd), sequence: NH (NH)2-SFSGFGSPLDRLSAGSVEHRGKQRKAVDHSKKR-COOH (SEQ ID NO.1), which is a partial sequence of amino acids 80 to 112.

ELISA experiments prove that the muscle concentration of the mouse is obviously increased compared with that of a control group (the experimental results are shown in figure 1, the right side is a group injected with the Muscin protein, and the left side is a group injected with 1% BSA solution), and the method can effectively promote the protein concentration of the Muscin in the muscle.

From the experimental results of fig. 2, it is known that increasing the level of Musclin in the mouse body can reduce the fat infiltration of muscle tissue, and thus, the effect of inhibiting the muscle adipogenesis is achieved.
Example 2: study of the Effect of Musclin on inhibition of muscle fibrosis
The process for constructing a Musclin overexpression mouse is the same as in example 1.
Constructing a muscle fibrosis mouse model: muscle fibrosis was induced in mice (either Musclin overexpressing mice or controls injected with 1% BSA) by injecting 50 μ L Cardiotoxin (CTX) solution (10 μ M) into the tibiomyo.
Preparing a specimen: (1) fixing the tibialis anterior muscle on the 15 th day after cardiotoxin injection in 4% paraformaldehyde for 12 hours, and then dehydrating with 30% sucrose solution overnight; (2) the dehydrated tibialis anterior tissue is prepared into frozen sections by a freezing microtome according to the thickness of 8-10 μm.
Fluorescence immunohistochemical detection of fibrosis: (1) re-warming the frozen section to room temperature; (2) rehydrating in PBS; (3) blocking the sample with blocking solution at 37 ℃ for 1 hour (blocking solution composition: 10% donkey serum, 3% BSA); (4) the blocking solution was decanted and primary antibody was added: mouse anti-mouse Desmin antibody (1:50, Santa Cruz), incubated overnight at 4 ℃; (5) excess primary antibody was washed off with PBS, secondary antibody was added: AF 488-labeled donkey anti-mouse IgG antibody (1:200, Jackson ImmunoResearch); incubating for 30 minutes at room temperature in dark; (6) washing the excess secondary antibody with PBS, adding Hoechst 33342(1:500), and incubating for 15 minutes at room temperature in a dark place; (7) washing off the redundant dye liquor; (8) and sealing the film, and observing and taking a picture by a confocal microscope.
The results are shown in FIG. 3 (left mice were not treated with Muscin and right mice were treated with Muscin), in which the green part is labeled with Desmin (Desmin) and shows the degree of fibrosis, and the blue part is labeled with Hoechst 33342 and shows the nucleus. From the experimental results, it is clear that the mice with muscle fibrosis treated with Musclin had less extracellular matrix deposition and slower progression of muscle fibrosis, and that Musclin acts to inhibit muscle fibrosis.
Example 3: study of the Effect of Musclin on the treatment of muscular atrophy
Constructing a muscle atrophy model: after the mice were anesthetized with 0.5% pentobarbital sodium, the sciatic nerve and the tibialis anterior muscle tendon of one hind limb were cut off, sutured and sterilized.
Musclin treatment: from the model construction, 100. mu.L of Musclin recombinant protein (80. mu.g/mL) was intraperitoneally injected every other day for the time point of sampling (up to 42 days).
Preparing a specimen: (1) taking the atrophic tibialis anterior at a specified time point, fixing in 4% paraformaldehyde for 12 hours, and dehydrating with 30% sucrose solution overnight; (2) the dehydrated tibialis anterior tissue is prepared into frozen sections by a freezing microtome according to the thickness of 8-10 μm.
Fluorescence immunohistochemistry detection of degenerative conditions of atrophic muscles: (1) re-warming the frozen section to room temperature; (2) rehydrating in PBS; (3) blocking the sample with blocking solution at 37 ℃ for 1 hour (blocking solution composition: 10% donkey serum, 3% BSA); (4) the blocking solution was decanted and primary antibody was added: rabbit anti-mouse Perilipin antibody (1:200, Abcam) or mouse anti-mouse type I collagen antibody (1:50, Santa Cruz), incubated overnight at 4 ℃; (5) excess primary antibody was washed off with PBS, secondary antibody was added: an AF 488-labeled donkey anti-rabbit IgG antibody (1:200, Jackson ImmunoResearch) or a Cy 3-labeled donkey anti-mouse IgG antibody (1:200, Jackson ImmunoResearch); TRITC-labeled phalloidin (1:200, saint next biotechnology (shanghai) gmbh); incubating for 30 minutes at room temperature in dark; (6) washing off excessive secondary antibody by PBS, adding Hoechst 33342(1:500), and incubating for 15 minutes at room temperature in a dark place; (7) washing off excessive dye liquor; (8) and sealing the film, and observing and taking a picture by a confocal microscope.
The results of the experiment are shown in fig. 4, in the upper two panels of fig. 4, the red part is labeled with collagen type I antibody, showing extracellular matrix; the blue part is labeled Hoechst 33342, showing the nuclei. In the lower two panels of fig. 4, the green part is Perilipin (lipocalin) labeled and the red part is TRITC labeled phalloidin, showing the tissue cytoskeleton; the blue part is labeled Hoechst 33342, showing the nuclei. Experimental results show that in a muscle atrophy model mouse, due to the reduction of the volume of muscle cells), certain space is formed among the muscle cells, and the space is easily filled by adipose tissues and extracellular matrix, so that the proliferation and differentiation of muscle stem cells are hindered, and the regeneration of muscle tissues is finally hindered. However, after treatment with Musclin, extracellular matrix content decreased (upper two panels of fig. 4) and muscle adipogenesis decreased (lower two panels of fig. 4). Therefore, the Musclin protein can be used for the treatment of muscle atrophy. The target of action of Musclin is not only on the muscle cells themselves (which have been reported in the prior art to promote muscle cell hypertrophy), but also on the fibroblasts/adipogenic precursor cells of the muscle, directly affecting adipogenesis and fibrosis. Muscle adipogenesis and fibrosis are symptoms which are accompanied after the atrophy of muscle cells, and the adipogenesis and fibrosis can block the regeneration of the muscle cells and promote the progress of the atrophic disease, so that the Musclin not only directly treats the atrophy of the muscle cells, but also can relieve the adverse reaction generated after the atrophy of the muscle cells, and the application of the Musclin is expanded. In the actual treatment of patients, Musclin can be used for treatment according to the specific conditions of the patients, and the administration mode, the administration amount and the administration timing are selected according to the target treatment targets targeted by the treatment scheme. In addition, as the present protocol finds the effect of Musclin on inhibiting muscle adipogenesis and fibrosis, Musclin may also be used in the treatment of muscle adipogenesis and fibrosis caused by non-muscle atrophy.
Example 4:
in mechanistic studies, we found that Musclin reduces the degree of adipogenesis and fibrosis by inhibiting proliferation of adipogenic/fibroblast precursor cells, promoting apoptosis and reducing abnormal accumulation of such cells.
Musclin promotes apoptosis of fibroblast/adipogenic precursor cell in vitro and inhibits proliferation
Intervention conditions are as follows: muscle primary fibroblasts/adipogenic precursor cells were sorted by flow cytometric fluorescence sorting (FACS), cultured in vitro, and after the cells had entered the logarithmic growth phase, the cells were treated with Musclin (1 μ M) for 48 hours with an equivalent amount of solvent (1% BSA) as a control.
And (3) proliferation: BrdU solution (1. mu.L) was added 3 hours before sampling and incubated for 3 hours. The medium was aspirated, washed with PBS, and the cells were collected into 1.5mLEP and subjected to Phase-FlowTMFITC BrdU Kit (Biolegend), fixed according to the instructions, permeabilized the cell sample, DNase at 37 ℃ for 1 hour, adding AF 488-labeled BrdU antibody, incubation for 30 minutes in the absence of light, washing away unbound antibody, and detecting the sample on the machine.
Apoptosis: and (3) sucking the culture medium of the cells treated by the Musclin, collecting the cells in a 1.5mLEP tube, adding 400 mu Lannexin binding agent according to the specification method of the Annexin V/PI apoptosis detection kit, incubating for 10 minutes, adding PI staining solution, incubating for 5 minutes, and detecting the sample on a computer.
The results of the experiments are detailed in fig. 5, where fig. 5a shows the effect of Musclin on fibroblast/adipogenic precursor cell proliferation in vitro, and the right statistical plot suggests that the Musclin-treated group inhibited fibroblast/adipogenic precursor cell proliferation in vitro compared to the Vehicle group (Vehicle group). Figure 5b shows the effect of Musclin on apoptosis of fibroblasts/adipogenic precursors in vitro, and the right statistical figure suggests that the Musclin-treated group promotes apoptosis of fibroblasts/adipogenic precursors compared to the Vehicle group (Vehicle group). It is suggested that proliferation of fibroblast/adipogenic precursor cell is inhibited and apoptosis is promoted by the Musclin, which may lead to decrease of the number of adipocyte and myofibroblast formed by fibroblast/adipogenic precursor cell in the process of muscular atrophy in vivo, and alleviate the phenomenon that the intercellular space formed by decrease of muscle cell volume is filled with adipocyte and extracellular matrix, thereby inhibiting the fattiness and fibrosis of muscle.
Secondly, the Musclin promotes the apoptosis of fibroblast/adipogenic precursor cells in vivo and inhibits the proliferation
1. Construction of Musclin overexpressing mice: the Muscin recombinant protein was dissolved in 1% BSA solution at 80. mu.g/mL, the Muscin solution was injected intraperitoneally for 5 consecutive days, once daily, 100. mu.L each, and the control group was injected with an equal amount of 1% BSA solution.
2. Constructing a muscle fibrosis mouse model: muscle fibrosis was induced by injecting 50 μ L Cardiotoxin (CTX) solution (10 μ M) into the abdominal muscle of the tibialis anterior of mice.
3. Constructing a muscle fat infiltration mouse model: mice were injected with 50 μ L of 50% (v/v) glycerol solution to the tibialis anterior muscle abdomen to induce fat infiltration.
4. Flow cytometry to detect the ratio of fibroblasts/adipogenic precursor cells in damaged muscle: shearing muscle tissue, digesting with 0.2% type II collagenase for 1 hr, centrifuging, discarding supernatant, re-suspending tissue precipitate, filtering, centrifuging filtrate, re-suspending, lysing erythrocytes with erythrocyte lysate, centrifuging, re-suspending, adding flow antibody, labeling fibroblast/adipogenic precursor cell, and detecting cell ratio change with flow cytometer.
Detection of cell proliferation by the BrdU method: cell suspensions were prepared and labeled fibrogenic/adipogenic according to step 4Precursor cells, then using Phase-FlowTMFITC BrdU Kit (Biolegend), fixed according to the instructions, permeabilized the cell sample, treated with DNase at 37 ℃ for 1 hour, added with PE-labeled BrdU antibody, incubated for 30 minutes in the dark, washed free of unbound antibody, and tested on the machine.
6. Detecting apoptosis in vivo: preparation of cell suspensions and labelling of fibroblast/adipogenic precursor cells according to step 4 Using VybrantTMFAM Caspase-3and-7Assay Kit (Invitrogen) detected apoptosis of fibroblasts/adipogenic precursor cells, incubated with FAM-labeled DEVD-FMK complex (FLICA) at 37 ℃ for 1 hour, and the samples were tested on-machine.
The experimental results are shown in detail in fig. 6 and 7. Figure 6a shows the in vivo detection of proliferation of fibroblasts/adipogenic precursor cells after Musclin stem prognosis in a CTX-induced muscle fibrosis model. In the histogram on the right, the bars on the left are blank control groups and the bars on the right are Musclin treatment groups. Figure 6b shows the in vivo detection of Musclin Stem prognosis apoptosis of fibroblasts/adipogenic precursor cells in a model of CTX-induced muscle fibrosis. In the histogram on the right, the left panel is a blank control group and the right panel is a Musclin treatment group. Figure 7a shows the in vivo detection of proliferation of fibroblast/adipogenic precursor cells after Musclin stem prognosis in a model of glycerol-induced muscle adipogenesis. In the histogram on the right, the left panel is a blank control and the right panel is a Musclin treatment. Figure 7b shows the in vivo detection of fibroblast/adipogenic precursor cell apoptosis following Musclin intervention in a glycerol-induced muscle adipogenesis model. In the histogram on the right, the left panel is a blank control group and the right panel is a Musclin treatment group. From the experimental results, it is known that Musclin can inhibit proliferation of fibroblast/adipogenic precursor cells, promote apoptosis of the precursor cells, prevent proliferation of excessive adipocytes and formation of excessive intercellular matrix, and further inhibit muscle adipogenesis and fibrosis in a CTX-induced muscle fibrosis model and a glycerol-induced muscle adipogenesis model.
Thirdly, Musclin promotes the apoptosis of fibroblast/adipogenic precursor cells in a muscle atrophy model and inhibits the proliferation
1, constructing a muscle atrophy model according to the previous method; and periodic treatment with Musclin (see example 3 for details);
2, the muscle was collected and the cells were extracted according to the same method as described above, and BrdU and apoptosis were detected according to the same method as described above ("two" in this example).
Results of the experiment as shown in figure 8, figure 8a demonstrates the in vivo detection of proliferation of fibroblast/adipogenic precursor cells in muscle atrophy models after Musclin stem prognosis. Figure 8b demonstrates the in vivo detection of Musclin stem prognosis apoptosis of fibroblasts/adipogenic precursor cells in a muscle atrophy model. From the data in the figure, it is known that in the course of the muscular atrophy, as the muscle cell volume becomes smaller, gaps are formed between the cells, and fat cells and intercellular matrix accumulate in the gaps, while the use of Musclin can inhibit proliferation of fibroblast/adipogenic precursor cells, reduce formation of fat cells and myofibroblasts, reduce accumulation of intercellular fibers, and further inhibit adipogenesis and fibrosis of the muscle, and finally achieve the effect of treating muscular atrophy.
In summary of the above experimental results, the Musclin acts directly on the muscle cells, and the target of action is the fibroblast/adipogenic precursor cells, and the effects of inhibiting the adipogenesis and the fibrogenesis of the muscle are achieved by inhibiting the proliferation of the fibroblast/adipogenic precursor cells and promoting the apoptosis of the fibroblast/adipogenic precursor cells, thereby further promoting the treatment of muscle atrophy.
