Description

New application of magnolol
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of medicines, in particular to a new application of magnolol.
Background
Glaucoma is the first irreversible blinding eye disease worldwide, and the number of glaucoma patients is estimated to reach 1.12 hundred million by 2040 years. Glaucoma can cause optic nerve damage and visual field defect, endanger human health, reduce quality of life and influence social and economic development. Ocular hypertension is considered to be a major risk factor for glaucoma, which results in loss of retinal ganglion cells. However, strategies for lowering intraocular pressure have received little success in a significant proportion of glaucoma patients, and in recent years, neuroinflammatory injury due to ocular hypertension has received much attention.
Magnolol is a small molecular substance extracted from cortex Magnolia officinalis, which is a bisphenol structure. It has been reported to have various effects including anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, anti-oxidant, neuroprotective, anti-angiogenic, antibacterial, etc. Currently, studies have shown that magnolol can inhibit the release of inflammatory factors from RAW 264.7 cells and down-regulate NF κ B activity. In an oxygen-induced mouse retinopathy model, magnolol can alleviate retinal vascular malformation and proliferation. In a trimethyltin-induced mouse model, magnolol can reduce hippocampus damage and inhibit inflammation and glial cell activation. However, there is no report on the optic nerve protection effect of magnolol in glaucoma diseases characterized by ocular hypertension.

The administration routes of the magnolol provided by the invention include oral administration, transdermal administration, rectal administration, ophthalmic external application, intramuscular injection and the like.
TNF-alpha is a pleiotropic proinflammatory cytokine belonging to the TNF ligand superfamily. TNF- α plays a diverse role in the regulation of a variety of developmental and immune processes, including inflammation, differentiation, lipid metabolism, and apoptosis, and is associated with a variety of diseases.
IL-1 β is an important member of the IL-1 family, which plays an important role in inflammation-related diseases. IL-1 beta has strong proinflammatory activity and can induce various proinflammatory mediators, such as cytokines and chemokines. IL-1. beta. has multiple functions. It has multiple effects on various cells and ultimately leads to a wide range of inflammatory events. Systemically, IL-1 β signaling can lead to acute phase reactions, hypotension, vasodilation, and fever. Locally, the result of IL-1 signaling leads to upregulation of adhesion molecules, thereby promoting recruitment of lymphocytes. Subsequently, immune cells are activated and inflammation is further amplified. In addition to playing an important role in innate immune responses, IL-1 β is also involved in adaptive immune responses by affecting the immune responses induced by Th17 and Th 1.
IL-6 is an activated T cell and fibroblast produced lymphokine. The expression disorder can cause a plurality of diseases, and the clinical manifestation of the diseases is mainly that the IL-6 level is increased during the onset of the diseases.
iNOS is an important catalytic enzyme in the body, and plays a biological role by catalyzing the substrate arginine to produce Nitric Oxide (NO). Research shows that iNOS is closely related to inflammation, and bacteria, viruses and various inflammatory factors can induce the expression of iNOS to generate endogenous NO, so that the iNOS plays an important biological role.
Microglia are resident immune cells of the Central Nervous System (CNS), including the retina, and are the main mediators of inflammation. Under physiological conditions, microglia are in a branched form, have small and round cell bodies and multiple branching processes, and play important roles in axon growth, synaptic remodeling, neuron survival and the like through the actions of phagocyte fragments and relieving multiple cell signaling factors. Under negative stimuli, tissue damage or free radicals, microglia are in a reactive state, and these reactive microglia can develop into phagocytic microglia. After activated, microglia can generate nutritional biomolecules, glutamate transporters and antioxidants to promote normal nerve functions; and can also produce potential side damage, such as release of nitric oxide and proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1 alpha, IL-1 beta TNF-alpha, IFN-gamma, IL-6, etc.), and participate in nervous system diseases and central nervous system disorders, etc. Meanwhile, microglia plays a certain role in the pathogenesis of glaucoma optic nerve injury.
Astrocytes participate in the formation of the central nervous system skeleton structure, are closely linked with neuronal cells, and regulate the development, metabolism, repair and other activities of the central nervous system. Various cytokines secreted by the recombinant human immunodeficiency virus also play important regulation and control roles in blood flow regulation, neuron signal transmission and synaptic transmission of the central nervous system. Astrocytes in a resting state after optic nerve injury rapidly transit to an activated state, and morphologically appear to be hypertrophied and hyperplastic. The activation process is mediated by inflammatory mediators, chemokines, growth factors, transcription factors, and the like.

Example 1: preparation of mouse ocular hypertension model and magnolol intervention
1. Establishing a mouse ocular hypertension model:
all experiments were performed under general anesthesia of mice, which were purchased from shanghai jester laboratory animals ltd. A6-8 week-old female C57BL/6 mouse is selected, anesthetized by a mixture of azolitel and dexmedetomidine, and the right eye is injured by ocular hypertension, a 30-gauge needle is inserted into the anterior chamber, the needle is connected with a 100ml sterile isotonic physiological saline bag, the height of the saline bag is 120 cm from the eyeball of the mouse, and the injury is induced for 60 minutes. At this time the intraocular pressure was measured at approximately 90 mmHg. Mice that did not induce ocular hypertension damage served as a control group.
2. Intervention of magnolol:
mice were injected intraperitoneally daily with magnolol (25mg/kg, Selleckchem, Houston, TX, USA) until the material was obtained.
Example 2: magnolol can improve survival rate of retinal ganglion cells
1. Optic nerve injury assessment
Optic nerve damage was detected 7 days after ocular hypertension injury. The heart of the mouse is perfused with normal saline for 5 minutes to remove blood cells, and then is injected with 4% paraformaldehyde for 15 minutes to be fixed in situ, and then the eyeball is taken. The eyes were fixed with 4% PFA for 2 hours. The retinas were dissected to a flat condition, fixed with 4% PFA for 15 minutes, and permeabilized with 0.3% triton x-100 in PBS for 15 minutes. The retinas were blocked with 5% goat serum (Boster, CA, USA) -0.3% triton x-100 in PBS for 2 hours at room temperature, then incubated with β -III tubulin (markers for RGCs; 1: 1000; Abcam) overnight at 4 ℃, and inoculated with Alexa Fluor594 anti-mouse secondary antibody (1: 200; CA Abbkine, USA). Confocal microscopy 4 images were taken of each retinal middle area and immune positive cells were counted using ImageJ software, counting the mean. Observed with a confocal microscope and photographed.
2. Evaluation results
As shown in FIGS. 1A-B, in the AOH7d group, the survival rate of retinal ganglion cells was significantly decreased (P < 0.05) to about 40% in the AOH7d group compared to the CON group at day 7 after ocular hypertension injury, whereas the survival rate of retinal ganglion cells was significantly increased (P < 0.05) in the AOH7d + MAG group compared to the AOH7d group (P < 63%) and the survival rate of retinal ganglion cells in the AOH7d + MAG group was increased to about 63%. The experimental result shows that the ocular hypertension can cause the loss of retinal ganglion cells, and the injection of magnolol can obviously improve the survival rate of the retinal ganglion cells.
Example 3: magnolol can inhibit retinal tissue thinning
1. Tissue morphology analysis
The mouse eyes were removed 1 and 7 days after ocular hypertension injury and fixed overnight with 4% PFA. Morphological analysis was performed on hematoxylin and eosin (H & E) stained retinal frozen or paraffin sections to assess retinal thickness. The thickness of the Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer (RNFL) and the Inner Plexiform Layer (IPL) was measured on H & E images at the same distance from the optic nerve head and expressed as an average value.
2. Analysis results
As shown in fig. 1C-D, the thicknesses of the Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer (RNFL) and the Inner Plexiform Layer (IPL) of the AOH1D group were not significantly changed compared to the CON group, the RNFL and IPL of the AOH7D group were significantly thinned compared to the CON group, and the RNFL and IPL of the AOH7D + MAG group were increased in thickness compared to the AOH7D group. Experimental results show that the thickness of RNFL and IPL in the reversible part of magnolol treatment is thinner.
Example 4: magnolol can reduce mRNA level of inflammatory factor
1. Real-time quantitative PCR
Total retinal RNA was extracted using TRIzol reagent (Invitrogen, CA, USA) and reverse transcription was performed using PrimeScript RT reagent kit (Takara, Kyoto, Japan). Quantitative PCR was performed for gene expression using LightCycler 480II (Roche, Switzerland) and UNICON qPCR SYBR Green Master Mix (Yeasen, Shanghai, China). The specific primers used in this study were from PrimerBank. Fold changes between different transcript levels were calculated using 2- Δ Δ CT with β -actin as an endogenous control.
2. Results of the experiment
As shown in FIGS. 3A-D, different inflammatory cytokines were detected to be involved in ocular hypertension injury, mRNA levels of inflammatory factors were significantly elevated (P < 0.05) in the AOH group compared to the CON group, and ocular hypertension significantly up-regulated mRNA levels of inflammatory cytokines TNF- α, IL-1 β, IL6, iNOS in retinal tissues 1 day after modeling; the AOH + MAG group showed significantly lower mRNA levels of inflammatory factors (P < 0.01) compared to the AOH group, indicating that magnolol treatment significantly reduced mRNA levels of inflammatory factors. In addition, as shown in fig. 4D, the AOH group showed a significant increase in mRNA expression of CD86 (P < 0.01) compared to the CON group, while CD206 expression was not significantly changed. The AOH + MAG group showed significantly reduced mRNA expression of CD86 (P < 0.05) and significantly increased mRNA expression level of CD206 (P < 0.05) compared to the AOH group. The results indicate that magnolol treatment can reduce CD86 and increase the mRNA expression level of CD 206.
Example 5: magnolol can relieve the decrease of blood retina barrier related protein level
1. Western blot analysis
Proteins were extracted from retinas using RIPA (Sangon, shanghai, china) and protein concentration was measured using BCA protein assay kit (Beyotime, shanghai, china). Proteins were separated on 10% SDS-PAGE, transferred to polyvinylidene fluoride membranes, which were then closed with 5% skim milk in tris buffered saline containing Tween-20 and incubated with antibodies. Primary antibodies to TNF α (1: 1000; Abcam, cambridge, UK), IL-1 β (1: 1000; Proteintech, chicago, IL, usa), IL-6(1: 1000; Protectech, chicago, illinois, usa), iNOS (1: 1000; affinity, usa), β -actin (1: 1000; Bioss, beijing), CD86 (1: 1000; Abcam, cambridge, UK), CD206(1: 1000; affinity, usa), ZO1(1: 1000; Proteintech, chicago, IL, usa), VE-Cadherin (1: 1000; affinity, usa) overnight at 4 ℃. Then, a second antibody rabbit (1: 1000; Shanghai, China) or mouse (1: 1000; Beyotime, Shanghai, China) was incubated with the membrane at room temperature for 1 hour. Protein bands were visualized by Tanon viewer system (Shanghai, China) and BeyoECL Moon (Beyotime, Shanghai, China) and analyzed by ImageJ.
2. Results of the experiment
As shown in FIGS. 3E-F, the protein levels of inflammatory cytokines TNF- α, IL-1 β, IL6, iNOS were significantly increased in the AOH group compared to the CON group (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01), and the protein levels of inflammatory cytokines TNF- α, IL-1 β, IL6, iNOS in retinal tissues were significantly upregulated after 1 day of modeling in ocular hypertension; the AOH + MAG group showed significantly reduced levels of the inflammatory cytokines TNF-alpha, IL-1 beta, IL6, iNOS (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01) compared to the AOH group, indicating that magnolol treatment significantly reduced levels of the inflammatory factors. In addition, as shown in fig. 4D, protein expression of CD86 was increased after ocular hypertension, while expression of CD206 was not significantly changed. Magnolol treatment can reduce CD86 and increase CD206 mRNA expression levels. As shown in FIGS. 4F-G, ocular hypertension also decreased the expression levels of ZO-1, VE-cadherin, while magnolol treatment reduced the level of the protein associated with the blood retinal barrier.
Example 6: magnolol can reduce fluorescence intensity of TNF alpha and IL6 in retina
1. Immunofluorescence staining
At 7 days after ocular hypertension injury, the heart of the mouse is perfused with normal saline for 5 minutes to remove blood cells, and then injected with 4% paraformaldehyde for 15 minutes for in situ fixation, and then the eyeball is taken. The eyes were fixed with 4% PFA overnight, embedded with OCT, and frozen and cut into 10 μm pieces. Tissue sections were infiltrated with 0.3% triton x-100 in PBS for 15 minutes at room temperature, and then washed 3 times with PBS for 5 minutes each. Sections were blocked with 5% bovine serum albumin in PBS for 1 hour, then incubated with anti-TNF α primary antibody (1: 200; Abcam, Cambridge, UK), IL6(1: 200; protein technology, Chicago, IL, USA), IBA1(1: 100, Severe, Wuhan, China), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP; 1: 2000; Invitrogen, CA, USA) overnight at 4 ℃. Sections were washed 3X 5 min with 0.1% tween PBS (PBST) and then incubated with Alexa Fluor 488 anti-rabbit or Alexa Fluor594 anti-mouse secondary antibody (1: 200; Abbkine, Calif., USA) for 1 hour at room temperature. Sections incubated without primary anti-PBS served as negative controls. Nuclear staining was performed using DAPI (Invitrogen, CA, USA), and sections were observed with a confocal microscope (Nikon, Tokyo, Japan) and photographed. All photographs were taken under 20 x magnification.
2. Results of the experiment
As shown in FIGS. 3G-H, the fluorescence intensity of TNF α and IL6 in the Ganglion Cell Layer (GCL), Inner Plexiform Layer (IPL) and Inner Nuclear Layer (INL) of retina was significantly increased in the AOH group compared to the CON group, while the fluorescence intensity of TNF α and IL6 in the Ganglion Cell Layer (GCL), Inner Plexiform Layer (IPL) and Inner Nuclear Layer (INL) of retina was significantly decreased in the AOH + MAG group compared to the AOH group. The results show that magnolol treatment reduced the fluorescence intensity of TNF α and IL6 in mouse ocular hypertension model retinas. As shown in fig. 4A, the AOH group showed rounding of microglia shape and shortened synapses compared to the CON group, while the AOH + MAG group showed significantly reduced rounding of microglia shape and shortened synapses compared to the AOH group. As shown in FIG. 4E, the synapsis of astrocytes in the AOH group was lengthened and extended to the outer retina compared to the CON group, while the synapsis of astrocytes in the AOH + MAG group was lengthened and extended to the outer retina compared to the AOH group, which was significantly relieved.
Example 7: magnolol can relieve the decrease of electrophysiological function level of mouse retina membrane caused by ocular hypertension
1. Retinal electrophysiological analysis
The retinal electrophysiological analysis was performed on 7-day molded mice 24 hours after dark adaptation. The mice were placed on a darkroom cushion with a red safety light under isoflurane anesthesia (induction concentration 3%, 1.0L/min; maintenance, 1.5% at 0.6L/min). The ground electrode was inserted into the tail of the mouse and the reference electrode was inserted into the forehead of the mouse. Two ring-shaped metal electrodes were attached to the mouse cornea and the response of the retina to light stimuli was recorded using an Espion E3 instrument (Diagnosys, Boxborough, MA, USA). 10.0cd/m2 induces dark adaptation to retinal electrophysiology. ERG a waves go from baseline to lowest negative peak, b waves go from lowest negative peak to main positive peak. Data from ocular hypertension modeling eyes or magnolol-intervened ocular hypertension modeling eyes were measured and the ratio to the contralateral eye was presented as data.
4. Results of the experiment
As shown in FIG. 2, the level of retinal electrophysiological function of the AOH + MAG group was significantly higher than that of the AOH group. The results show that magnolol treatment can obviously relieve the reduction of the electrophysiological function level of the retina of a mouse caused by high intraocular pressure and improve the amplitudes of a wave and b wave.
Example 8: magnolol can reduce the immune response of lymph nodes around the eye
1. Cell flow analysis
Flow cytometry analysis was performed after the mouse ocular draining lymph nodes were isolated. The isolated cells were used with BD GolgiPlugTMProtein transport inhibitor (containing Brefeldin A) was incubated at 37 ℃ for 4h and detectedT helper cells (Th) secreting IFN γ -, IL 4-and IL 17. The isolated cells were immunolabeled with primary antibodies against IFN γ (BD biosciences, NJ, USA), IL4(BD biosciences, NJ, USA), IL17(BD biosciences, NJ, USA) protected from light for 30 minutes. Corresponding isotype antibodies served as controls. Data acquisition and recording was performed using BD FACScalibur (usa) and analysis was performed using Flowjo.
2. Results of the experiment
As shown in FIG. 5, the proportions of Th1, Th2 and Th17 cells in the refluxing lymph node of the eye of the mice in the AOH group are obviously higher than those in the CON group (P < 0.05), which indicates that the high intraocular pressure can cause the proportion of Th1, Th2 and Th17 cells in the refluxing lymph node of the eye of the mice, while the proportions of Th1, Th2 and Th17 cells in the refluxing lymph node of the eye of the mice in the AOH + MAG group are obviously lower than those in the AOH group (P < 0.05), which indicates that the magnolol treatment can obviously reduce the proportions of Th1, Th2 and Th17 cells and reduce the immune response of the lymph node around the eye.
