Description

Application of N-acetylmannosamine in preparation of medicines
Technical Field
The invention relates to an application of N-acetylmannosamine in preparation of medicines, and belongs to the technical field of biological medicines.
Background
Hydrocephalus refers to an expansion of the ventricle caused by an obstruction in the process of cerebrospinal fluid production or circulatory absorption. Hydrocephalus can be classified into primary and secondary types according to the etiology. Primary hydrocephalus is due to congenital or genetic abnormalities in cerebrospinal fluid circulation or absorption, such as congenital ventricular stenosis, post-meningitis syndrome, and the like. Secondary hydrocephalus is a disorder of cerebrospinal fluid circulation or absorption caused by other diseases or trauma, such as brain tumor, cerebral hemorrhage, brain trauma, etc. In addition, neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and the like, parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and the like can also cause atrophy of cerebral cortex, which in turn causes ventricular dilatation.
Hydrocephalus, including expansion of the ventricle secondary to neurodegenerative diseases, can cause collateral damage to the ventricle, abnormal proliferation and polarization of glial cells, leading to a range of neurological disorders including dyskinesia, cognitive disorders, vision disorders, and the like. Among them, dyskinesias are particularly important in the academia. Dyskinesias such as hypomyosis, impaired motor balance and coordination, involuntary movement of muscles and the like seriously affect the daily life of a patient, and a series of risks endangering the life of the patient such as falling can be generated.
Hydrocephalus has become a serious public health problem in recent years, and has taken an increasingly important role in the human disease spectrum. It is counted that idiopathic normal craniocerebral pressure hydrocephalus (a type of hydrocephalus common to the elderly) accounts for 0.5% -1.5% of the population over 60 years of age in our country. While patients of various other etiologies are about 2-3 times that of idiopathic normal craniocerebral pressure hydrocephalus.
However, the treatment of hydrocephalus is currently facing a great challenge, and there is a lack of therapeutic approaches that can effectively delay the progression of the disease. Except for removing the primary cause, the cerebrospinal fluid shunt operation is a first-line treatment means of hydrocephalus, and concretely comprises ventricular and peritoneal drainage, ventricular and atrial drainage, lumbar and greater pool peritoneal drainage and the like. However, there is still some controversy over current surgical treatments for hydrocephalus. First, the long-term curative effect of the operation is doubtful, and long-term follow-up researches show that the curative effect of the patient can be gradually reduced along with time due to occlusion of the drainage catheter, and about 30-50% of patients need to be operated again. Secondly, the operation is invasive, the occurrence rate of complications such as subdural hematoma, infection and the like is high, and the elderly patients with serious basic diseases are difficult to bear. Therefore, exploration of drug intervention strategies for hydrocephalus is imperative.
Neu5Ac is a natural saccharide compound with nine carbon sugars as a basic skeleton, and is one of the most common sialic acids in humans. The Neu5Ac has few free forms and plays an important role in mediating cell-to-cell recognition, adhesion, migration and the like by being involved in forming cell glycoprotein and glycolipid terminal sugar chains in vivo. In the nervous system, neu5Ac is present in relatively high levels, which is statistically about 20 times the average levels of other system tissues. Neu5Ac of brain tissue is mainly involved in constituting gangliosides and glycoproteins, and plays very unique and key roles in the aspects of synapse formation, nerve impulse transmission, maintenance of neuronal and myelin function homeostasis, and the like. Studies have shown that the lack of Neu5Ac and its complexes can lead to a series of clinical symptoms similar to hydrocephalus, such as reduced motor function, cognitive dysfunction, etc. While exogenous supplementation of N-acetylmannosamine (ManNAc), a precursor to the Neu5Ac synthesis pathway, partially reverses clinical symptoms. Therefore, manNAc is expected to play an important role in the prevention or treatment of hydrocephalus dyskinesia. As a precursor for the synthesis of Neu5Ac molecules, manNAc is an uncharged monosaccharide with a molecular weight of 221 daltons. ManNAc has been shown to have potential effects in the treatment of dyskinesias caused by some neuromuscular diseases. For example, GNE myopathy is an autosomal recessive genetic disease caused by mutation of the GNE gene, which encodes a rate-limiting enzyme important in Neu5Ac synthesis. Due to the defect of the GNE enzyme, the Neu5Ac content in muscle tissues of patients is obviously reduced, so that sugar chains are insufficient in sialylation, and symptoms such as muscle weakness and the like appear. Animal and clinical experiments show that the supplement of ManNAc can effectively improve the sialylation of the sugar chains of the muscle cells and improve dyskinesia. In addition, the ManNAc also has a certain protection effect on cognitive dysfunction, and can delay the cognitive dysfunction of middle-aged and old people by improving spatial memory, working memory and abnormal sleep rhythm. However, manNAc has not been effectively used in the current treatment of dyskinesias caused by hydrocephalus, including dyskinesias associated with neurodegenerative diseases.

The syringe needle with the 30 gauge needle was then bent at 30-45 deg., and 10ul of 10% kaolin suspension (100 mg/ml in 0.9% saline) was withdrawn with the syringe. The needle was inserted into the occipital cell through the dura mater, the needle was slowly advanced 1.5-2.0mm, and 10ul of the kaolin suspension was slowly injected into the basal cell (about 1 ul/min). The needle was slowly withdrawn after leaving the needle for 5 minutes, and the surgical incision was sutured and sterilized after no reflux. The operation animals are placed in an electric incubator at 37 ℃ for resuscitation, and the operation animals are put back to a feeding platform for feeding after the experimental animals are revived. The experimental animals of the sham treatment group were injected with 10ul of sterile physiological saline in the same manner.
1.2 administration: immediately after the molding, the administration was performed in groups, and twice daily at 12-hour intervals. The control group and the model group were subcutaneously administered with 0.3ml of physiological saline/one at a time. The ManNAc treatment fraction was administered twice, each subcutaneously with a dose of 0.25,0.5,1 g/kg/dose of ManNAc in 0.3ml physiological saline. The three groups were each dosed for 14 days continuously.

Step rate = number of steps per total number of steps x100%.
The results are shown in figure 1, with only 0.5g/kg ManNAc treatment group, the step rate and GFAP positive area were significantly reduced compared to the model group. Thus, 0.5g/kg was used as the administration concentration of ManNAc.
Effect of mannac on proliferation and polarization of mouse astrocytes in a hydrocephalus model:
the hydrocephalus model mice 7 days after molding were stained for GFAP/C3d and GFAP/S100A10 immunofluorescence. GFAP is a molecular marker of astrocyte proliferation, while C3d and S100a10 are molecular markers of astrocyte polarization.

Protection of periventricular white matter demyelinating lesions in mice with hydrocephalus model by mannac:
after the experimental animals were dosed, the animals were kept for 35 days, and the mice were sacrificed and perfused to obtain brain sections, and stained with MBP immunofluorescence. MBP is an important molecule constituting the myelin sheath of white matter. As shown in fig. 3, the fluorescence intensity of MBP staining of periventricular white matter area Cingulate (CG) and Exocyst (EC) of the ManNAc treatment group was significantly improved over that of the model group, demonstrating that ManNAc administration has a protective effect on periventricular white matter demyelination injury caused by hydrocephalus.
The specific experimental process comprises the following steps:
3.1 frozen sections of brain tissue: after the end of the administration on day 14, animals were kept until 35 days after molding, and experimental animals were fixed by perfusion. Pentobarbital anesthesia was injected intraperitoneally, the chest of the experimental animal was opened to reveal the heart, ventricular infusion was performed with 4% paraformaldehyde solution at 4 ℃, and success of infusion was indicated when the experimental mouse had stiff limbs and tails. Immediately cutting the head to obtain brain, soaking the brain tissue sample in 4% paraformaldehyde solution, storing in a refrigerator at 4deg.C, and fixing for 12 hr.

(1) Placing the cut brain tissue slice into a culture with 0.01M PBS, and rinsing for 5min×3 times;
(2) 0.3% of 0.01M PBST rinse 5min x3 times;
(3) 1% of 0.01M PBST is subjected to membrane penetration for 15min at room temperature;
(4) 0.3% of 0.01M PBST rinse 5min x3 times;
(5) Blocking for 1 hour at room temperature with 10% serum;
(6) Preparing MBP primary antibody mixed working solution according to a proportion, and incubating overnight in a 4-DEG C environment;
(7) 0.3% of 0.01M PBST rinse 5min x3 times.
(8) Transferring the cleaned specimen into a prepared corresponding secondary antibody working solution, and incubating for 1h at room temperature;
(9) 0.3% of 0.01M PBST rinse 10min x3 times;
(10) Spreading brain slice on clean glass slide, dipping with absorbent paper, dripping sealing tablet, and sealing with cover glass;
(11) And selecting a proper visual field for observation under a laser confocal microscope, and acquiring images.
(12) And (3) after the fluorescence threshold value is set by using Image analysis software Image J, measuring the fluorescence intensity of white matter parts around the ventricle, and analyzing data.
As shown in fig. 3, the fluorescence intensity of MBP staining of periventricular white matter area Cingulate (CG) and Exocyst (EC) of the ManNAc treatment group was significantly improved over that of the model group, demonstrating that ManNAc administration has a protective effect on periventricular white matter demyelination injury caused by hydrocephalus.
Effect of mannac on reduction of ventricular side elevation signal on magnetic resonance in mice with hydrocephalus model:
experimental animals were scanned on the head of 11.7T high field small animals at magnetic resonance 28 days after molding. After induction of anesthesia with 1% -2% isoflurane, experimental animals were fixed on the coil door slot and anesthesia was continued with 1.5% isoflurane. The thickness of the scanning layer is 500um by scanning the whole brain coronal MRI T2 weighting sequence. And calculating Evans ratio and area of the corresponding level paraventricular high signal to the whole brain by using the acquired T2 sequence image. Evans ratio is calculated as the ratio of the width of the lateral ventricle at the widest level of the bilateral ventricle to the width of the widest level of the entire brain, which can be used to measure the ventricle size. The area of the whole brain occupied by the paraventricular high signal was measured using Image J software.
The results are shown in fig. 4, although the ventricle size of the ManNAc treated mice was similar to that of the model group, their paraventricular high signals were significantly reduced. This suggests that ManNAc administration does not reverse ventricular enlargement due to hydrocephalus, but reduces white matter high signals secondary to ventricular enlargement.
Protection of mannac against hydrocephalus model mouse dyskinesia:
the motor functions of hydrocephalus model mice were continuously assessed at days 7, 14, 28 post-molding. The step-by-step experiment is used for evaluating the movement coordination function of the mice, the rod rotating experiment is used for evaluating the balance capacity of the mice, and the Catwalk gait analysis is used for evaluating gait abnormality of the mice. As shown in figure 5, panel a, the residence time on the rotating bars was significantly prolonged for ManNAc treated mice, with significant statistical differences at 14, 28 days post-molding. As shown in panel B of fig. 5, the ManNAc treated mice had a reduced step rate compared to the model group, with significant statistical differences at 7, 14, and 28 days after molding. The extent of gait abnormalities such as shortened step size, retarded gait and imbalance in hydrocephalus model mice also decreased significantly after ManNAc administration, as shown in figures C-I of fig. 5. Compared to model groups, manNAc treated mice had longer step sizes (D panels), increased speeds (E panels), shorter cycles per step (F panels), reduced standing time scale (G panels), increased steps per minute (H panels), and increased diagonal support scale (I panels). On day 7 after molding, manNAc significantly increased the rate of movement of mice, while improvement in several other criteria occurred after day 14 of molding. This suggests that ManNAc administration may significantly improve dyskinesias including dyskinesias, impaired ability to balance, and gait abnormalities in mice with hydrocephalus models.
The specific experimental process comprises the following steps:
5.1 rotating rod experiment: training for 3 days before molding, placing the mice on a rotating rod fatigue instrument, rotating for 300s at a rotating speed of 5rpm in the first day, and enabling the rollers to be constantly accelerated from the rotating speed of 5rpm to 40rpm for 300s in the 2 nd and 3 rd days respectively, so that the mice adapt to rotating rods. On the day of molding, 7, 14, 28 days after molding, the rotational speed was constantly accelerated to 40rpm at 5rpm for 300 seconds in total, and the falling time of the mice was recorded. 3 times per day, each time interval of 10min.
As shown in figure 5, panel a, the residence time on the rotating bars was significantly prolonged for ManNAc treated mice, with significant statistical differences at 14, 28 days post-molding.
5.2 misstep experiment: training for 3 days before molding, 5min each day, and adapting the mice to walk on the wire mesh. On the day of molding, 7, 14, 28 days after molding, video of 3 minutes of mice walking on the wire netting is recorded, and the total walking steps and the stepping steps of the last minute are counted. Step rate = number of steps per total number of steps x100%.
As shown in panel B of fig. 5, the ManNAc treated mice had a reduced step rate compared to the model group, with significant statistical differences at 7, 14, and 28 days post-molding.
5.3Catwalk gait analysis: mice were placed on the racetrack of the Catwalk gait analysis system 3 days prior to molding to fit the environment. Mice passed the race track 3 times in the same direction without stopping can be regarded as being qualified for training. On days 7, 14, 28 after molding, mice were placed on one side of the racetrack and allowed to freely pass along the racetrack in one direction without interference. In the running process of the mice, green footprint marks appear on the runway and are captured and identified by the camera. Each mouse ensured a maximum speed variation of less than 30% for at least 3 recordings. Gait parameters such as Step length, speed, step period, standing time per Step (Duty cycle), step number per minute (Cadence), and diagonal Support ratio (Support diagonal) were derived using the CatWalk XT 10.6 software.
As shown in fig. 5, panels C-I, the extent of gait abnormalities such as shortening of the step, retardation of gait, and imbalance in hydrocephalus model mice also decreased significantly after ManNAc administration. Compared to model groups, manNAc treated mice had longer step sizes (D panels), increased speeds (E panels), shorter cycles per step (F panels), reduced standing time scale (G panels), increased steps per minute (H panels), and increased diagonal support scale (I panels). On day 7 after molding, manNAc significantly increased the rate of movement of mice, while improvement in several other criteria occurred after day 14 of molding. This suggests that ManNAc administration may significantly improve dyskinesias including dyskinesias, impaired ability to balance, and gait abnormalities in mice with hydrocephalus models.
Protection of ManNAc against long term cognitive impairment in hydrocephalus model mice:
the animals were kept for 28 days after the end of the administration. After 4 days of continuous adaptation from day 28, training of the new object recognition experiment was performed on day 5, testing of the new object recognition experiment was performed on day 6, and the exploration time of the object on days 5 and 6 was recorded, respectively. Based on the recorded exploration time, discrimination indices (differential index, DI) for the training and testing phases are calculated, respectively. Di= (time to search for new object side object-time to search for familiar object side object)/(time to search for new object side object # time to search for familiar object side object) ×100%. The difference between the test stage DI and the training stage DI is a Preference Index (PI) for measuring the spatial memory of the animal. The results are shown in fig. 6, which shows that ManNAc administration significantly improved spatial memory in hydrocephalus model mice compared to model groups, thereby reducing cognitive impairment resulting from long-term hydrocephalus.
The specific experimental process comprises the following steps:
the animals were kept on feeding for 28 days after the end of the administration, and the animals were placed in a round black tub with a diameter of 26cm and a height of 38cm for 30 minutes every day for the next 3 days, and placed in the black tub for 10 minutes on day 4, so as to be adapted to the environment. Day 5 is the training phase, where the training animal explores two objects with memory 20cm apart within 6 minutes. And the 6 th day is a testing stage, one of the novel objects with different shapes and colors is replaced, the exploration condition of the animal in 6 minutes is tested, and the exploration time of the 5 th day and the 6 th day for the two objects is recorded respectively. Based on the recorded exploration time, discrimination indices (differential index, DI) for the training and testing phases are calculated, respectively. Di= (time to search for new object side object-time to search for familiar object side object)/(time to search for new object side object # time to search for familiar object side object) ×100%. The difference between the test stage DI and the training stage DI is a Preference Index (PI) for measuring the spatial memory of the animal.
The results are shown in fig. 6, which shows that ManNAc administration significantly improved spatial memory in hydrocephalus model mice compared to model groups, thereby reducing cognitive impairment resulting from long-term hydrocephalus.
The above results indicate that ManNAc is capable of inhibiting astrocyte proliferation and polarization to neurotoxic forms in acute phase in hydrocephalus model mice; the damage of the white matter myelin sheath of brain tissue is relieved in the chronic period, thereby reducing the ventricular side high signal on magnetic resonance, and finally improving the dyskinesia and long-term cognitive disorder caused by hydrocephalus. Therefore ManNAc was demonstrated to be useful in the preparation of medicaments for the treatment of neurological dysfunction caused by hydrocephalus.
