Description

Application of STING inhibitor C176 in preparation of medicine for preventing and treating age-related macular degeneration
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of chemical medicaments, and particularly relates to application of STING inhibitor C176 in preparation of a medicament for preventing and treating age-related macular degeneration.
Background
Geographic atrophy is one of the types of age-related macular degeneration, and no effective treatment is currently available. Map-like age-related macular degeneration results from progressive retinal pigment epithelium degeneration and atrophy, and permanent visual impairment due to death of photoreceptor cells caused by retinal pigment epithelium degeneration. It has been shown that although age-related macular degeneration is a multifactorial disease, the disorder of autoimmune function plays an important role in the disease development of age-related macular degeneration. Thus, immunomodulation is seen as a very promising treatment for age-related macular degeneration.
The cGAS-STING signaling pathway is an important cytoplasmic DNA sensing pathway in vivo, induces the expression of type I interferon (type I Inteferons, IFN 1), affects the immune response of the body, and plays an important role in regulating pathogen infection, tumor immunity and autoimmune diseases. Guanosine monophosphate-adenylate synthetase (cyclic guanosinemonophosphate-adenosine monophosphate synthase, cGAS) is a direct cytoplasmic DNA sensor, when cGAS recognizes DNA accumulated in the cytoplasm, cGAS binds to these DNA, the cGAS active site conformation changes, catalyzing ATP and GTP synthesis of cyclic dinucleotides (cyclic guanosine monophos-phase-adenosine monophosphate, cGAMP). cGAMP acts as a second messenger and binds to the interferon gene stimulatory factor (stimulator of interferon gene, STING) protein on the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum (endoplasmic reticulum, ER), rapid dimerization of STING is activated, activated STING is transferred from ER to golgi apparatus, and kinases such as TANK-binding kinase 1 (tbk 1) and ikb kinase (IKK) are recruited in golgi apparatus, which phosphorylate interferon regulatory factor 3 (interferon regulatory factor, irf 3) and nuclear factor- κb (nuclear factor kappa-B, NF- κb) inhibitors ikbα, respectively. Phosphorylated IRF3 dimerizes and migrates into the nucleus, activating transcription of genes encoding type I interferons. Whereas iκbα phosphorylation results in NF- κb transfer to the nucleus and activates transcription of the pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-6 (il-6), tumor necrosis factor (tumor necrosis factor, TNF) and type I interferon genes, exerting an immunomodulatory effect affecting viral defense, inflammation and tumor therapy in the body. The functional enhancement mutation of STING gene can lead to serious autoimmune diseases, and in various inflammatory diseases such as cerebral apoplexy, liver and kidney injury, the inhibition of cGAS-STING signal pathway is beneficial to the alleviation and treatment of diseases. Recently, it has been found that there is a phenomenon in which the level of cGAS is increased in retinal pigment epithelium of patients with age-related macular degeneration in the form of map-like wilting reduction mouse disease model established by over-expression of a non-coding RNA (Alu RNA), cGAS causes activation of atypical inflammatory corpuscles by recognizing mitochondrial DNA in cytoplasm, whereas inhibition of cGAS-STING signaling pathway significantly down regulates inflammatory response in retinal pigment epithelium of map-like wilting reduction mouse disease model in cGAS knockout mice. Therefore, finding or developing a small molecule compound can effectively inhibit the cGAS-STING signal pathway in a map-type wilt-reducing mouse disease model, and has important practical significance.

As shown in fig. 1A, three days after sodium iodate injection, the retinas of sodium iodate-treated mice appeared to be significantly damaged compared to the control group.

6.2 C176 may inhibit activation of the cGAS-STING signaling pathway protein in the retina of a mouse model of age-related macular degeneration induced by sodium iodate.
Mice with age-related macular degeneration induced by sodium iodate were intraperitoneally injected with the small molecule drug C176 at a dose of 10mg/kg. Western immunoblotting experiments show that the C176 treatment can significantly reduce the expression of cGAS-STING signal pathway related proteins (phosphorylated STING (P-STING), phosphorylated NFKB (P-NFKB) and phosphorylated TBK1 (P-TBK 1)) in the retina of the mouse.
6.3 C176 can inhibit the expression of the inflammatory factors interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and Interferon (Interferon beta, IFNB 1) genes in the retina of a mouse model of age-related macular degeneration induced by sodium iodate.
Mice with age-related macular degeneration induced by sodium iodate were intraperitoneally injected with the small molecule drug C176 at a dose of 10mg/kg. Real-time quantitative PCR experiments show that the C176 treatment can significantly reduce the expression of inflammatory factor related genes in the retina of mice.
6.4 C176 can inhibit retinal degeneration and immune cell aggregation in a mouse disease model of age-related macular degeneration induced by sodium iodate.
Mice with age-related macular degeneration induced by sodium iodate were intraperitoneally injected with the small molecule drug C176 at a dose of 10mg/kg. As shown in fig. 4A to 4C, C176 protected the retina of the mouse, and inhibited retinal structural disturbance and pigment epithelial cell swelling and detachment caused by sodium iodate. Immunofluorescent staining of frozen sections of retina showed that IBA 1-positive immune cells were reduced after C176 treatment.
