Description

Use of steroid hormone DHEA as receptor ADGRG2 agonist ligand
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of biological engineering and biomedicine, and particularly relates to application of steroid hormone DHEA as a receptor ADGRG2 agonist ligand.
Background
The information in this background section is only for enhancement of understanding of the general background of the invention and is not necessarily to be construed as an admission or any form of suggestion that this information forms the prior art that is already known to a person of ordinary skill in the art.
G protein-coupled receptors are the largest membrane receptor family and drug targets in the human genome, with about 30% of approved drugs acting by binding to GPCRs and modulating intracellular signaling. Among them, the adhesion-like G-protein coupled receptors (aggpcrs) are the second major family of GPCRs, with a total of 33 members. All aGPCRs have, in addition to the classical seven-transmembrane structure, some unique features, long N-termini with adhesive-like potential, which comprise an induced self-hydrolysable membrane-proximal domain (Hamann et al, 2015). Mutations in adhesion-like receptors are associated with many human diseases, such as adhesion-like receptors ADGRV1 and LPHN2/3, which are critical for cochlear hair cell survival and excitatory synapse formation, respectively, ADGRF5 mediates alveolar surfactant homeostasis via Gq signaling, ADGRG6 regulates skeletal development via downstream Gs signaling, and the like. The aGPCR family has great potential in drug discovery because it has been linked to a variety of different diseases and regulates many important physiological processes throughout the body.
ADGRG2 (adhesion-like G protein-coupled receptor G2), also known as GPR64 or human epididymal-specific protein 6 (HE 6), is highly expressed in the epididymis and efferent tubules of humans and mice, and has an important role in regulating male reproductive function. It has been reported in the literature that the knockout of ADGRG2 can lead to maladjustment of fluid reabsorption in the efferent tubules, resulting in male sterility (Davies et al, 2004). The well-known research further clarifies that ADGRG2 and Gq are co-located on the specific structural apical membrane of the output tubule with the help of beta-arrestin-1 and anion channel CFTR to form a regional signal transduction complex, and constitute rapid GPCR-ion channel coupling, thereby accurately regulating the chloride ion current of non-ciliated cells and the process of tubular reabsorption. Overexpression of ADGRG2 in vitro can cause Gs and Gq constitutive activity. However, endogenous ligands for ADGRG2 are not currently found.
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a naturally occurring C-19 adrenal steroid (5-androstane-3 β -ol-17-1) derived from cholesterol (Webb et al, 2006). Dehydroepiandrosterone is secreted mainly by the zona reticulis of the adrenal cortex in humans and other primates. The adrenal cortex secretes 75-90% of dehydroepiandrosterone per day, the remainder being produced by the testes and ovaries. DHEA 3 β -dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) is a hydrophilic storage form that circulates in the blood (baulie, 2002). DHEAS can be interconverted with dehydroepiandrosterone by dehydroepiandrosterone sulfotransferase and hydroxysteroid sulfatase (baulie, 2002). DHEA and DHEAs are the most abundant steroid hormones in humans, and are a potential androgen at higher blood concentrations than other steroids. DHEA is currently being used more and more in the treatment of In Vitro Fertilized (IVF) women with low ovarian function and has been reported to be effective in increasing pregnancy rates and embryo quality while decreasing miscarriage rates (Arlt et al, 1999 shohatt-tal et al 2015; poplar et al 2020 a). However, the physiological activity of DHEA remains to be studied further.

4. Previous studies demonstrated that the adhesion-like receptor ADGRG2 and cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) co-localize at the apical membrane of efferent tubule non-ciliated cells, and ADGRG2 mediates the electrical current of CFTR. Wild mice and knock-out mouse output tubule single cells were isolated and infected with adenovirus ADGRG 2-promoter-RFP-labelled virus. Different concentrations of DHEA were given to stimulate primary cells and the current of ADGRG2-promoter-RFP-labeled cells was recorded by electrophysiological means.
HEK293 cells overexpress human or murine ADGRG2 and CFTR or separately overexpress CFTR, stimulated with different concentrations of DHEA, and whole cell currents of both cells were recorded by electrophysiological means.
DHEA was formulated with PBS to a working concentration of 10 -8 M、10 -7 M、10 -6 M、10 -5.5 M、10 -5 M、10 -4.5 M、10 -4 And M, incubating the cell over-expressing Nluc-ADGRG2-ECL1/2/3-Flash with a substrate Flash-EDT2 at a constant temperature of 37 ℃ for 40 minutes, washing the cell with PBS twice, stimulating with DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) with different concentrations, recording fluorescence values in real time by using a multifunctional microplate reader, and performing statistical analysis and mapping on the result, wherein the result is shown in figure 1.

Wild mice and ADGRG2 full-body knockout mice were decapped and sacrificed, the output tubules were isolated, collagenase digested for half an hour and broken into single cells, infected with adenovirus ADGRG2-promoter-RFP-labeled virus, primary cells were digested after 48h onto 24mm × 24mm slides, after 12h primary cells were attached, the slides were mounted on the stage of a fluorescence microscope, stimulated with DHEA at different concentrations, primary cells that fluoresced red were selected and recorded for whole cell current with a HEKA EPC10 dual probe amplifier, the results are shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4.
Detecting DHEA-induced changes in CFTR current in vitro using HEK293 cells, formulating DHEA with PBS to a working concentration of 10 -8 M、10 -7 M、10 -6 M、10 -5.5 M、10 -5 M、10 -4.5 M、10 -4 M, in HEK293 cells co-expressing human or murine ADGRG2 with CFTR or overexpressing CFTR alone, with stimulation of different concentrations of ligand, whole cell currents were recorded using HEKA EPC10 dual probe amplifiers, and the results are shown in fig. 5.
The experimental result shows that DHEA can specifically bind to adhesion receptor ADGRG2, and the half effective concentration for inducing the change of extracellular loop ECL2 is 25uM; DHEA stimulates an adhesion receptor ADGRG2 to generate a Gs pathway, wherein the half effective concentrations of a human source and a mouse source are 11uM and 2uM respectively; DHEA can induce CFTR current increases in wild mouse and HEK293 cells co-expressing human or murine ADGRG2 and CFTR, with no effect on fully knockdown ADGRG2 mouse primary cells and HEK293 cells overexpressing CFTR alone, with the median effective concentration of DHEA-induced ADGRG 2-mediated CFTR current increase in primary cells being 14.2uM, and the median effective concentration of DHEA-induced human or murine ADGRG 2-mediated CFTR current increase in vitro overexpression systems being 19.6uM and 2.1uM, respectively.
The above experimental results show that the steroid compound DHEA provided in this example can target ADGRG2 to become its specific ligand, and can effectively activate ADGRG2 to generate Gs signaling pathway. Thus, the invention provides promising compounds which can form the basis of medicines for diagnosing and treating the male reproductive diseases.
