Description

CD137 targeting polypeptide and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical fields of molecular biology and medicine, in particular to a CD137 targeting polypeptide and application thereof.
Background
Acute coronary syndrome is the main cause of death of coronary heart disease patients, and the pathological basis is coronary artery atherosclerosis vulnerable plaque rupture or erosion secondary thrombosis to cause coronary artery complete or incomplete occlusion. Vulnerable plaque (Vulnerable plaque), unstable plaque, high-risk plaque, soft plaque) has not been well-defined, and the main characteristics include a large proportion of plaque lipid nuclei (more than 40%), a predominantly liquid cholesterol ester composition, thin fibrous cap (< 150 μm), internal inflammatory reactions and neovascularization. The risk of a "coronary heart disease event" is mainly dependent on the stability of the coronary plaque, rather than the degree of stenosis caused by the coronary plaque, so the imaging evaluation of vulnerable plaque and how to reverse vulnerable plaque is one of the hot spots of current coronary heart disease research. At present, imaging evaluation means for coronary atherosclerosis high-risk plaques are insufficient, and diagnostic means for vulnerable plaques at present are clinically insufficient, including intravascular ultrasound, optical coherence tomography, coronary enhanced CT, coronary enhanced nuclear magnetism and the like. The method comprises the following steps: intravascular ultrasound (IVUS): the current clinical gold standard for evaluating plaque is invasive examination, and the patient acceptance rate is low; there are limitations and security: the diameter of the catheter is 1mm, the pushing capability is poor, and the catheter cannot pass through the lesion under the condition that the lesion stenosis degree is serious or the blood vessel distortion is obvious; can produce halo artifacts, non-uniformity artifacts, guidewire artifacts, geometric distortions of images, blood echoes; thrombus cannot be reliably identified, rupture of a smaller plaque cannot be resolved, and the like. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT): resolution is 10 times that of IVUS, up to 10 microns, and small plaque rupture can be detected, but the examination requires temporary blood flow interruption, exacerbates or induces myocardial ischemia, and is difficult to apply to open lesions. Coronary enhancement CT: sensitivity and specificity are relatively low, in particular as expressed in: (1) lesions of the far or tiny branches of the coronary artery cannot be found; (2) It is difficult to distinguish between lipid-rich plaques and plaques rich in fibrous tissue due to the overlapping CT density values; (3) The spatial resolution is not sufficient to date for the assessment of the fine tissue structure of coronary plaque, the assessment of the morphology and thickness of the fibrous cap of plaque is limited, and for smaller plaques the accuracy of CT density measurements is affected by partial volume effects. Coronary enhancement MRA: still in the preclinical research stage, the scanning time is long, the motion artifact is more, and the method is not widely applied to clinic. Most importantly, these several examinations are not early diagnoses nor reflect the pathophysiology of high risk plaques. The magnetic resonance soft salient has the advantages of high soft tissue and contrast resolution, and can clearly distinguish soft tissue structures; the method can carry out multiparameter and multiplane imaging, thus clearly showing the position and degree of the lesion and the relation between surrounding tissues and organs, accurately judging the lesion, and ensuring that the ferroferric oxide has been approved for clinical application. The fluorescence imaging sensitivity is high, and the ICG is already applied to clinical fundus fluorescence angiography and the like. Therefore, localization and quantification are diagnostically advantageous in the characterization of many lesions.
Most medical workers and researchers are well known for tumor immunity and targeted therapy, however cardiovascular immunity and targeted tracking and therapy are also emerging concepts and developments in the cardiovascular field in recent years. In recent years, the incidence and mortality of coronary heart disease in developed European and American countries have been reduced, but a part of special groups are found, and cardiovascular accidents still occur repeatedly despite various optimal intervention measures (including statin drugs), and Nilsson J points out that the cardiovascular accidents are determined by other mechanisms of atherosclerosis high-risk plaques, such as plaque blocking the lumen to cause hemodynamic changes, so that anti-inflammatory factors are secreted to be reduced, blood vessel inflammation caused by lipid such as cholesterol and autoimmune response of blood vessels to plaque components are caused, and points out that new methods for detecting and verifying pathophysiological mechanisms are needed. Antoniades C et al indicate that vascular wall inflammation is also a high risk factor for cardiovascular disease, that molecules that cause abnormal expression of vascular walls promote the progression of atherosclerosis, and that are very potential new therapeutic targets, but current methods for detecting coronary inflammation either lack specificity (e.g. plasma biomarkers) or are expensive and impractical (PET). Saba L et al clearly indicated that inflammatory markers are imaging tracer targets for detection of vulnerable plaques. Inflammation plays a key role in plaque destabilization, both innate immunity and adaptive immunity are involved, vascular endothelial cells, T cells are activated, and mononuclear/macrophages release a large number of pro-inflammatory factors, such as monocyte chemotactic protein (MCP-1), INF-gamma, TNF-alpha, etc., and released matrix degrading proteases degrade collagen fibers of fibrous caps; promoting plaque neovascularization. Olofsson PS et al demonstrate that CD137 is a costimulatory molecule expressed on the surface of vascular endothelial cells, activated T cells within plaque, and monocyte membranes with high specificity that when bound to a ligand promotes further activation and augmentation of leukocytes within plaque, secretion of inflammatory factors, and has potential as a target for high risk plaque tracking and treatment.
