Description

Composition for inhibiting coronavirus and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of medicines, in particular to a composition for inhibiting coronavirus and application thereof.
Background
Researchers isolated multiple strains of coronavirus from a tissue sample of pangolin scales. Among them, the spike protein (S) of coronavirus GX _ P2V has 92.2% homology with the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2. The S protein is an important virus structural protein for SARS-CoV-2 to recognize and enter cells to start infection, and is also one of important targets for vaccine development. Angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE 2) is a receptor used by SARS-CoV-2 infected cells and can be recognized and bound by the S protein. Researchers tested whether ACE2 was involved in GX _ P2V infection by using siRNA mediated knock down of ACE2 expression. The results showed that the expression levels of ACE2 mRNA and viral RNA were significantly reduced in GX _ P2V-infected cells, indicating that ACE2 is also a receptor for GX _ P2V-infected cells. However, it is noteworthy that GX _ P2V mediated entry through the receptor ACE2 was not associated with viral pathogenicity, and no human infection associated with GX _ P2V was found or suspected, suggesting that the virus was non-pathogenic in humans. Thus, GX _ P2V can be routinely cultured in secondary biosafety laboratories. In addition, reported anti-SARS-CoV-2 drugs, namely Remdesivir (remdesivir), chloroquine (chloroquine), hydroxychloroquine (hydroxychloroquine), nelfinavir (nelfinavir) and lopinavir (lopinavir), also have an inhibitory effect on GX _ P2V, and further verify that GX _ P2V can be used as a good alternative model for screening anti-SARS-CoV-2 drugs (Hu et al, 2021 years).
Whey Protein (WP) is a mixture of proteins present in the Whey fraction in milk and includes lactoferrin, alpha-lactalbumin, beta-lactoglobulin, osteopontin, lysozyme, immunoglobulins, and the like.
Lactoferrin (LF) is present in biological fluids including milk, saliva and semen and is one of the most abundant proteins in whey proteins. It is also present on mucosal surfaces and in polymorphonuclear leukocyte granules. The most abundant sources of LF are human milk and cow's milk. The concentration of LF in milk varies greatly with lactation stage and species. The LF content in human colostrum is more than 5 g/L, and the LF content in the mature colostrum is 2-3 g/L. The LF content in the bovine colostrum is about 0.8g/L; whereas milk contains only 0.03-0.49 g/l. It was found that higher LF content in colostrum can protect breast-fed infants from bacterial infections (Artym & Zimecki, 2005). Lactoferrin can inhibit cell adhesion of viruses; lactoferrin also enhances the production and activity of natural killer cells, interferon alpha/beta and helper T cells; has inhibitory effect on various gram-positive bacteria and gram-negative bacteria. Since lactoferrin has anti-digestive ability by itself and is relatively low in digestive ability of the gastrointestinal tract of infants, it has the potential to exert biological activity in the gastrointestinal tract of infants.
Milk Fat Globule Membrane (MFGM), in which the fat in Milk is surrounded by a layer of membrane-derived Milk fat globule membrane structure, contains about 20% protein and about 50% -70% phospholipid, and the protein is embedded in the lipid. In addition, the milk fat globule membrane also contains some acidic sugars. The milk fat globule membrane is a carrier for various phospholipids, active proteins and part of acidic sugar of breast milk. The milk fat globule membrane protein accounts for 1-2% of the total protein content of the milk, 50-120 proteins can be separated from the milk fat globule membrane at present, and the molecular weight is 10-300 kDa. Among them, mucin 1 and mucin 15, which are protein components, have been reported to have an antiviral function, and lactadherin has an antiviral function in the intestinal tract.
Osteopontin (OPN) is a phosphorylated acidic protein, and has a high concentration of 50-180mg/L in human milk, whereas milk contains only 18mg/L. Osteopontin OPN was initially found in bone and is expressed in many tissues and organs, and subsequently found in human milk in highest amounts, milk-derived osteopontin, abbreviated as lactobridge protein (L)actiontin, LPN). OPN has a variety of biological activities, such as promoting cell proliferation and differentiation, enhancing immune function and promoting bone development. OPN has a positive effect on early development of infants, in particular on early immunomodulation of infants. Early in life, insufficient production of Th1 cytokines and poor responsiveness may be the primary cause of low innate cellular immunity in newborns, and a shift towards Th2 immune responses. Studies have shown that OPN plays a key role in its regulation of Th1 and Th2 immune balance. Clinical research shows that the infant tolerance is good and the growth and development state is good when the formula powder of the fortified cow milk OPN is eaten; compared with the common formula powder, the formula powder feeding of the enhanced OPN can reduce the generation of fever and proinflammatory immune response (cell factors) of the infants: (
Figure RE-GDA0003379721750000031
et al.2016). In addition, studies have shown that OPN can stimulate intestinal epithelial cell proliferation, support intestinal development and intestinal health, and that feeding fortified bovine milk OPN formula powder can reduce the severity of necrotizing enterocolitis in newborn piglets (Moller et al, 2011). In addition, OPN has been found to promote myelin-associated protein synthesis and myelin formation, thereby promoting cognitive development, and experimental findings show that mice fed milk-enriched OPN milk exhibit better memory and learning in cognitive testing (Jiang et al, 2020). Thus, OPN has many effects such as improving immune function in infants, promoting intestinal health, and promoting cognitive development.
The above studies indicate that whey protein, milk fat globule membrane, lactoferrin and osteopontin can exert various positive effects on human body, but the application of whey protein, milk fat globule membrane, lactoferrin and osteopontin to coronavirus has been rarely reported.

Example 1
Inhibition of GX _ P2V infection
The method comprises the following steps: inoculating vero E6 cells into a 96-well cell culture plate in advance, discarding culture solution when the cells grow to 80-90% of the well area, and rapidly adding GX _ P2V (10) with proper concentration according to the optimal MOI 4 pfu/mL) and active ingredient. Wherein the concentration of the protein component and Milk Fat Globule Membrane (MFGM) is selected to be 5mg/mL, three replicates of each component are made to ensure reproducibility of results. The negative control group was supplemented with virus only. Incubation at 37 ℃ for 2 hours allowed the virus to interact well with the cells. The culture wells were aspirated and the cells were washed 1 time with PBS to remove free virus. Culture medium containing equal final concentration of active ingredient (5 mg/mL) was added to the culture wells quickly, and the culture was continued for about 46 hours until the negative control showed significant cytopathic effect under the microscope. Two independent replicates were performed to ensure the accuracy of the results.
As a result: whey protein, milk fat globule membrane, lactoferrin and osteopontin all showed excellent antiviral effects. As shown in fig. 1, the inhibition rates were calculated based on the relative expression amounts of intracellular viral RNA, and the inhibition rates of the whey protein concentrate, milk fat globule membrane protein, lactoferrin against GX _ P2V infection were 99.97%, 99.98%, and 99.99%, respectively, and the inhibition rate of osteopontin against GX _ P2V infection was 52.86%. As shown in fig. 2, the mass concentration ratio is 2: the composition of lactoferrin and osteopontin (lactoferrin 5mg/mL, osteopontin 2.5 mg/mL) of 1 also exhibited good effect against GX _ P2V infection, with an inhibition rate of 87%.
Example 2
Measurement experiment of EC50 value and measurement experiment of CC50 value
EC50 value: the EC50 value represents the concentration at which the drug acts 50%. Inoculating vero E6 cells into 48-hole cell culture plate in advance, discarding culture solution when the cells grow to 80-90% of the hole area, and rapidly adding GX _ P2V (10) with proper concentration according to optimal MOI 4 pfu/mL) and active ingredient. 2-fold dilution of the active ingredient was carried out to give 8 concentrations (0.039 mg/mL,0.078mg/mL,0.15mg/mL,0.31mg/mL, 0.63mg/mL,1.25mg/mL,2.5mg/mL,5 mg/mL) and 2 wells were inoculated at each concentration. Negative control group only virus was added. The procedure and conditions for the viral infection process were the same as in example 1.
The cell culture medium was discarded and the cells were washed 1 time with PBS. Adding corresponding reagents (including buffervL,70% ethanol, bufferrRW 1 and buffer RW 2) according to the steps of a nucleic acid extraction kit (tissue RNA extraction kit; cat No: RNE 11-02) to obtain an RNA sample. And carrying out reverse transcription on the RNA to obtain a cDNA sample. Taking a proper amount of cDNA samples to perform real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR analysis, and detecting the GX _ P2V E gene and the cell GAPDH gene by using specific primers to obtain a cycle initial value (Ct value). The relative expression level of viral mRNA was calculated from the Ct value and is designated as B. The EC50 of the fractions was calculated using Graphpadstandards 8.0.2.
CC50 value: the potential active ingredients were evaluated for cytotoxicity/safety. Inoculating vero E6 cells into a 96-well cell culture plate in advance, discarding culture solution when the cells grow to 80-90% of the area of the wells, and quickly adding active ingredients with proper concentration according to the optimal MOI. The active ingredient was diluted 2-fold to 8 concentrations, each concentration being inoculated into three wells. Negative control group was supplemented with culture medium only. After 28 hours of incubation, 20 μ L of resazurin dye was added to each well and the values were read with a multifunctional plate Reader (RFU) at 0 min, 30 min, 60 min, 90 min and 120 min after dye addition, respectively, under the conditions: the excitation wavelength is 554nm, and the emission wavelength is 593nm. The cytotoxicity rate was calculated from the readings and was designated as C. The formula is as follows:
c active fraction =1- (RFU fraction-RFU positive control) × 100%
Component CC50 was calculated according to cytotoxicity rate using graphpad8.0.2 software.
As a result: the EC50 value refers to the concentration of the component at which the virus is inhibited by half, and the CC50 value refers to the concentration of the component at which half of the cells die. The former reflects the utility of the ingredient, and the latter reflects the magnitude of toxicity of the ingredient. The half-effective concentrations (EC 50) of the four components (whey protein, milk fat globule membrane, lactoferrin and osteopontin) and the combined components of lactoferrin and osteopontin were 0.8mg/mL, 0.442mg/mL, 0.397mg/mL, 0.625mg/mL and 1.875mg/mL, respectively, as calculated from the log (inhibitor) vs. stress formula in the nonlinear analysis in GraphpadPrism software, based on the relative expression of viral mRNA in cells, as shown in FIG. 3 below. The CC50 values of the whey protein, the milk fat globule membrane, the lactoferrin and the osteopontin are all more than 5mg/mL. The results show that the whey protein has antiviral infection effects (32-99%) in 7 concentration ranges, such as 0.078mg/mL,0.15mg/mL,0.31mg/mL,0.63 mg/mL,1.25mg/mL,2.5mg/mL,5mg/mL, and the like. The milk fat globule membrane has the effect of resisting virus infection (45-99%) in 8 concentration ranges of 0.039mg/mL,0.078mg/mL,0.15mg/mL,0.31mg/mL, 0.63mg/mL,1.25mg/mL,2.5mg/mL,5mg/mL and the like. Lactoferrin has the effect of resisting virus infection (30-99%) in 8 concentration ranges of 0.039mg/mL,0.078mg/mL,0.15mg/mL,0.31mg/mL, 0.63mg/mL,1.25mg/mL,2.5mg/mL,5mg/mL and the like. Osteopontin has antiviral effect (30-80%) in 5 concentration ranges of 0.31mg/mL,0.63mg/mL,1.25mg/mL, 2.5mg/mL,5mg/mL, etc. The antiviral effect of the composition of lactoferrin and osteopontin (5 mg/mL of lactoferrin and 2.5mg/mL of osteopontin) in three concentration ranges of 7.5 mg/mL,3.75mg/mL and 1.875mg/mL is more than 50%.

Culture medium from 96 well cell culture plates was discarded, 100 μ L virus dilutions were added to each well, 10 wells were inoculated per dilution gradient for a total of 7 dilution gradients, and the remaining cell wells were supplemented with virus-free culture medium as negative control. After 72 hours of incubation, the appearance of cytopathic effects was observed well by well under an optical microscope. Kong Jiwei positive wells with lesions, whereas negative wells. TCID50 (PFU/mL) values were calculated based on the number of positive and negative wells in each dilution gradient. This value represents the amount of virus required to cause half of the cytopathic effect or death (CPE) in a plate well or in a tube, and thus characterizes the titer of infectious viral particles.
As a result: TCID50 refers to the amount of virus required to infect 50% of the cells in PFU/mL. According to the preliminary screening results, the supernatants of infected cells were tested for their content of infectious virus particles after treatment with 5mg/mL of whey protein, milk fat globule membrane, lactoferrin and osteopontin. As can be seen from fig. 4, among these four active ingredients, lactoferrin showed the best inhibitory effect against virus production, and treatment with 5mg/mL of lactoferrin reduced the TCID50 value of the virus in the cell supernatant by 1.5 Log10, i.e. infectious viral particles were 4.48% of the untreated group, with an inhibition of 95.42%. As can be seen from fig. 4, the treatment of whey protein and milk fat globule membrane at the same concentration reduced the Log10 values by 0.89 and 0.88, respectively, and the inhibition rates were 87.57% and 87.86%, respectively, which are statistically significant.
Example 4
Protein immunoblotting test verification of antiviral active ingredient
The method comprises the following steps: after virus infection, the supernatant was discarded, and 100. Mu.L of RIPA lysate was added thereto and lysed for 10 minutes. Protein quantification was performed using the BCA kit according to the instructions. After all samples were diluted to the same protein content, 20. Mu.L was mixed with 4. Mu.L of loading buffer. The mixture was treated at 100 ℃ for 10 minutes to denature the protein. Then centrifuged at 12000rpm for 2 minutes at 4 ℃. Samples and protein markers were loaded in 12% SDS-PAGE gels, and electrophoretic separation was carried out under the following conditions: 80V, 120V after 30 min, 60 min. Transferring the proteins on the gel to a polyvinylidene fluoride (PEDV) membrane by using a transfer apparatus under the following conditions: 15V,60 minutes. PEDV membranes loaded with protein were blocked with 5% skim milk powder (TBST dissolved) for 2 hours at room temperature. Since GX _ P2V has an amino acid homology of more than 92.5% with SARS-CoV-2 (NCBI, protein BLAST), GX _ P2V nucleocapsid Protein was detected using an anti-SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid Protein antibody. Considering that the N protein amino acid sequences of GX _ P2V and SARS-CoV2 have homology of more than 93% with the purchasability of SARS-CoV-2N protein antibody, the nucleic capsid protein antibody against SARS-CoV-2N protein from Genscript, USA and the GAPDH antibody from Proteitech, USA were diluted to 1. The primary antibody was removed by washing 3 times with TBST, and a secondary goat anti-mouse IgG (H + L) enzyme-labeled secondary antibody diluted 1. Incubate with luminophore for 5 min and wash 3 times with TBST. The PEDV film was then detected for luminescence using SuperSignal West Femto Maximum Sensitivity chemistry Substrate (Thermo Scientific, USA).
As a result: as shown in FIG. 5, in the group of lactoferrin preparations in the range of 0.6mg/mL to 10mg/mL, the production of viral N protein in infected cells was dose-dependently inhibited. Obviously, at a lactoferrin concentration of 10mg/mL, the expression of the viral N protein was hardly detectable in the cells; at a lactoferrin concentration of 5mg/mL, only a trace amount of viral N protein expression was detected in the cells. As can be seen from FIG. 5b, the milk fat globule membrane significantly inhibited the production of viral N protein in cells at a concentration of 10mg/mL, with minimal expression of viral N protein detected. In fig. 5, NP refers to GX _ P2V nucleocapsid protein; GAPDH refers to cellular glyceraldehyde phosphate dehydrogenase.

Investigation of the primary antiviral mechanism of the active protein substance: action after entry into cells
The method comprises the following steps: the medicine adding time method is adopted to preliminarily determine the stage of the virus life cycle in which the antiviral active component plays the inhibiting effect. Vero E6 cells were seeded in 48-well plates (1X 10) 5 Cells/well) to adhere and grow. GX _ P2V with an MOI of 0.01 and an antiviral component at an appropriate concentration were mixed uniformly, added to the cells, and incubated at 37 ℃ for 2 hours to allow the virus to adsorb and enter the cells. The virus-containing culture medium was then washed away and the cells were washed 2 times with PBS. Cells were supplemented with fresh medium and cultured until 48 hours post infection. To investigate whether the active ingredient functions after the virus entered the cells, GX _ P2V infected the cells for 2 hours at an MOI of 0.01. The virus-containing culture medium was removed, the cells were washed 2 times with PBS, and then the cells were added with the same final concentration of the active ingredient and cultured for another 48 hours. Cells were collected for subsequent nucleic acid extraction and RT-qPCR analysis, and intracellular viral mRNA expression was determined to characterize viral load.
As a result: as shown in FIGS. 6-7, the relative expression level of intracellular viral mRNA was reduced to varying degrees after incubation of the cells with the virus for 46 hours after 2 hours of GX _ P2V infection with the addition of whey protein, milk fat globule membrane, lactoferrin, and osteopontin (5 mg/mL). Whey protein, milk fat globule membrane, lactoferrin and osteopontin are shown to inhibit the post-entry processes of viral infection. The lactoferrin has the most obvious antiviral effect, and can obtain an inhibition rate of more than 95% when being added 2 hours after virus infection within the range of 0.625-2.5 mg/mL. For the group (5 mg/mL) in which whey protein and milk fat globule membrane were added only at the stage of virus-infected cells, the relative expression level of viral mRNA in cells was also reduced, indicating that whey protein and milk fat globule membrane could inhibit the virus entry process.
Example 6
Investigation of the preliminary antiviral mechanism of the active protein substance: inhibiting the adhesion of virus to cells
The method comprises the following steps: adsorption experiments were used to investigate whether antiviral active ingredients could have inhibitory effects on GX _ P2V attachment to cells. Vero E6 cells were seeded in 48-well plates (1X 10) 5 Cells/well) overnight. And (3) incubating GX _ P2V with high concentration and active ingredients of whey protein, milk fat globule membrane, lactoferrin and osteopontin with certain concentration for 2 hours at 4 ℃ to ensure that the active ingredients and viruses fully act. Then, the mixture of the virus and the active ingredient was added to the cells, and incubated at 4 ℃ for 2 hours to allow the virus to sufficiently act on the cells. The mixture in the culture wells was discarded, after 3 adherent cells were washed with PBS, the cells were collected for subsequent nucleic acid extraction and RT-qPCR analysis, and the expression of viral mRNA on the cell surface was determined to characterize the viral load.
As a result: as shown in fig. 8, the intervention virus cell adsorption experiment was performed on the four active substances, whey protein, milk fat globule membrane, lactoferrin and osteopontin, respectively, and the results were repeated twice to ensure the credibility thereof. The results show that the four components can significantly reduce the attachment of GX _ P2V to cells at concentrations of 10mg/mL and 5mg/mL. As shown in fig. 8, the inhibition rates of virus-attached cells under 10mg/mL intervention were 75.55%,76.24% and 94.33%,75.49%, respectively. The virus attachment test shows that the whey protein, the milk fat globule membrane, the lactoferrin and the osteopontin can obviously reduce the attachment of GX _ P2V to cells and inhibit virus infection.

Computer simulation of lactoferrin binding to SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and cellular ACE2 receptor
The method comprises the following steps: lactoferrin (PDB: 1 LFG) and SARS-CoV-2 wild type RBD and human cell ACE2 (corresponding structure extracted from PDB 7DF4 complex) under two conformations are subjected to molecular docking on protein-protein level, water molecules in the structure are removed before docking, and ZDOCK 3.0.2 (https:// ZDOCK. Umassmed. Edu /) is adopted as a docking platform. Selecting the docking compound with the highest docking score for analysis, and selecting PDBePISA (https:// www.ebi.ac.uk/msd-srv/prot _ int/prestart. Html) as the platform to obtain the interface area (A) of the docking compound 2 ) The docking free energy (Δ G) and the P value thereof, and the number of hydrogen bonds formed at the docking interfaceAnd the number of salt bridges. The docking complex was visualized with PyMol.
As a result: RBD docking in both lactoferrin and SARS-CoV-2 conformations is shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B, with FIG. 9A showing the lactoferrin and SARS-CoV-2 receptor binding domains (one RBD up open conformation); FIG. 9B shows lactoferrin and SARS-CoV-2 receptor binding domain (three RBD down open conformations). RBD (a RBD-up) refers to a conformation in which there is an upward projection of the RBD in the spike protein, in which conformation the spike protein binds to ACE2 on the cell surface. RBD (three RBD-down) refers to a conformation in which all three RBDs are tightly bound without upward protrusions in the spike protein. According to the docking results analysis of table 1, lactoferrin can spontaneously bind to RBD in both conformations, as shown by a free energy of less than 0kcal/mol. The bonding interface forms hydrogen bonds and salt bridges. The analysis results showed that lactoferrin cannot spontaneously bind to ACE2, with a binding free energy of 0.5kcal/mol. The above results suggest that lactoferrin prevents the binding of RBD to ACE2 by binding to RBD on the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2.
