Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of biological medicines, in particular to application of methylbardoxolone in preparation of a medicament for improving viral myocarditis or viral myocardial injury.
Background
Viral myocarditis is a common myocardial inflammatory disease caused by virus infection, and seriously endangers the life safety of patients. Viral myocarditis causes a series of immune responses in infected individuals and is also an important cause of dilated cardiomyopathy.
Patients with viral myocarditis often develop various arrhythmias and impaired cardiac function, and even sudden cardiac death may occur, and endocardial biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosis of the disease. Endomembrane biopsies, however, are not popular in clinical work as an invasive test. The diagnosis of viral myocarditis still depends on medical history, clinical manifestation and related clinical examination indexes, especially cardiac magnetic resonance imaging examination, and is an important examination means for diagnosing viral cardiomyopathy. At present, a definite and effective treatment means for viral myocarditis is still lacking.
Oleanolic acid is a triterpene compound extracted from olive leaf and having antiinflammatory, liver protecting and antitumor effects, and can be used for treating liver injury, liver fibrosis, etc. 2 ⁃ cyano ⁃, 12 ⁃ dioxy oleanane ⁃ 1,9 (11) ⁃ dien ⁃ 28 ⁃ methyl ester (bardoxolone methyl, CDDO ⁃ Me), i.e. methyl bardoxolone, is a semisynthetic oleanolic acid derivative.

Detailed Description
It should be noted that the following detailed description is illustrative and is intended to provide further explanation of the present application. Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs.
As described in the background section, 2 ⁃ cyano ⁃, 12 ⁃ dioxyoleanane ⁃ 1,9 (11) ⁃ dien ⁃ 28 ⁃ methyl ester (bardoxolone methyl, CDDO ⁃ Me), i.e., methylbardoxolone, has the structural formula:
currently, CDDO ⁃ Me is mainly used for the treatment of chronic kidney disease, pulmonary hypertension, and tumors and cancers. The U.S. FDA has granted CDDO-Me an orphan drug for the treatment of Alport syndrome and pulmonary arterial hypertension, but there is a research statement that CDDO ⁃ Me presents a safety hazard in the heart and is toxic to cardiomyocytes. So there is no report on the use of CDDO-Me methyl bardoxolone in treating myocarditis.
Based on this, the object of the present invention is to provide the use of methylbardoxolone in the preparation of a medicament for ameliorating viral myocarditis or viral myocardial injury. Viral myocarditis can lead to changes in myocardial structure, and can lead to decline in cardiac function and various arrhythmias, and even sudden cardiac arrest. However, the disease is basically an inflammatory disease associated with viruses, followed by an immune response and subsequent lesions.
NLRP3 inflammatory corpuscles are a complex of proteins comprising three parts NLRP3, ASC and pro-caspase-1, which complex activates caspase-1 and thus mediates maturation and secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1 beta and IL-18. Activation of NLRP3 inflammatory bodies is closely related to microbial infection of bacteria, viruses, and the like. After virus infection, the inflammatory corpuscles are activated, and the inflammatory factors IL-1 beta and IL-18 are further activated after the activation of the inflammatory corpuscles, so that subsequent inflammatory reactions are caused. Nrf2 is an important anti-inflammatory and antioxidant factor in the body and has important protection effect on the body. Nrf2 plays a very important anti-inflammatory role in a variety of diseases. The research of the invention discovers that CDDO-Me not only has the traditional anti-inflammatory mode of reducing the expression of inflammatory factors TNF-alpha, IL-6 and IL-10 by activating Nrf2/HO-1 signal paths, but also can inhibit the activation of inflammatory bodies of NLRP3 in cardiac muscle, reduce the expression of inflammatory factors IL-1 beta and IL-18 and further play an anti-inflammatory role. After viral myocarditis is affected, particularly in the immune activation period, myocardial structure can be changed, and the symptoms such as edema, necrosis, massive inflammatory cell infiltration and the like are presented, so that CDDO-Me can inhibit myocardial structure change and inflammatory cell infiltration; thus, the method for treating myocarditis or myocardial injury caused by Coxsackie B3 virus provides theoretical support for developing new medicaments for treating viral myocarditis or viral myocardial injury.

2. Conclusion(s)
2.1CDDO-Me increased survival and improved weight status in mice with viral myocarditis
As shown in FIG. 1, the survival rate of CVB3 mice is only 50% in ten days, which is far lower than 100% of that of the control group and CDOO-Me group, while the survival rate of experimental mice is 72.2% which is higher than that of the model group, and the survival rate is statistically significant. As shown in fig. 1C, the average body weight of the mice in the model group was lower than that in the control group by the day 2 of the experiment, and the average body weight of the mice in the experimental group was slightly higher than that in the model group but still lower than that in the control group.
2.2 CDDO-Me reduces myocardial injury marker levels
CK-MB and cTnI are used as markers of myocardial injury and are clinically used for assisting in evaluating the degree of myocardial injury and recovery condition of viral myocarditis. As shown in fig. 2, serum central muscle injury markers were significantly elevated after mice injected with CVB3, and myocardial injury was reduced after CDOO-Me intervention. As can be seen from the distributions in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the serum of mice in CVB3 group, i.e. model group, is significantly increased in CK-MB and cTnI compared with the control group, and has statistical significance. After CDDO-Me treatment, both myocardial necrosis markers were significantly reduced compared to the model group.
2.3CDD0-Me reduces myocardial remodeling
After viral myocarditis is suffered from diseases, particularly in the immune activation period, myocardial structures can be changed, myocardial edema, dissolved necrosis, massive inflammatory cell infiltration and the like appear, and thus ventricular enlargement and heart contraction function decline appear. As shown in fig. 3, CDDO-Me reduced myocardial remodeling in mice due to CVB3 infection. As can be seen in fig. 3A, the heart of the mice in the control group and the mice in the group injected with CDDO-Me alone is normal in shape and smooth in surface; the hearts of the disease model group and the experimental group are increased, the epicardial surface is not smooth, and a large amount of white spots can be seen. FIG. 3B shows the stained sections of mouse myocardial HE, the Control group and CDDO-Me group mouse myocardial cells are normal in size, uniform in morphology, regular in myocardial fiber arrangement, uniform and dense in distribution, clear in myofiber structure, and no obvious inflammatory cell infiltration is seen in the stroma. In contrast, mice in group CVB3 and group CVB3+CDDO-Me had cardiomyocytes of different sizes and non-uniform morphology, and were seen with varying degrees of cardiomyocyte edema, lysis necrosis, myofiber alignment disorder, and a part of cardiomyocytes were seen with vacuolated changes accompanied by infiltration of a large number of interstitial inflammatory cells. Compared with CVB3 group, CVB3+CDDO-Me group has reduced myocardial cell edema and necrosis proportion, and reduced inflammatory cell infiltration, which indicates that myocardial inflammation is inhibited. Fig. 3D-H show statistical analysis results of cardiac ultrasound, with significantly reduced left ventricular ejection fraction and left ventricular shortening fraction in the CVB mice compared to the control group, with significantly increased left ventricular diameter at end systole, while the experimental group significantly alleviated these changes, with statistical significance.
2.4 CDDO-Me reduces mouse intramyocardial NLRP3 inflammatory corpuscles and inflammatory factors downstream thereof
Viral myocarditis is an inflammatory disease associated with viral infection and manifests itself as inflammatory cell infiltration of the myocardium. This example demonstrates that CDDO-Me treatment inhibits activation of NLRP3 inflammatory bodies and expression of inflammatory factors downstream thereof in myocarditis mice caused by CVB3 infection. As shown in FIG. 4, the serum or intramyocardial NLRP3 inflammatory corpuscle and related inflammatory factor level of the mice after CVB3 infection is increased, and the inflammatory factor level is reduced to different degrees after CDDO-Me treatment, so that the method has statistical significance. The WB experiments prove that the myocardial NLRP3, caspase-1 and ASC content of the mice in the model group are higher than those of the mice in the control group (figures 4D, 5A, 6A and 7A), the expression of mRNA related to three proteins is also obviously higher than that of the mice in the control group (figures 5B, 6B and 7B), and the immunofluorescence experiments prove that the phenomenon is also proved (figures 4A, 4B and 4C). Serum levels of the remaining inflammatory factors activated by NLRP3 inflammatory bodies were also higher in the model group than in the control group. IL-1. Beta. In the serum of each group of mice was measured by the Luminex method, and the IL-18 level in the serum of the mice was measured by the Elisa method, and the results of the model group were higher than those of the control group. The IL-1 beta and IL-18 related mRNA in the myocardium of the mice in the model group are obviously higher than those of the mice in the control group by the RT-PCR method. These inflammatory factors were reduced to different extents and were statistically significant after CDDO-Me treatment.
2.5 CDDO-Me increased protein levels of Nrf2 and HO-1 in mouse myocardium
As mentioned previously, nrf2 is an important anti-inflammatory substance in the body. Nrf2 enters the nucleus after activation, and can stimulate the synthesis of downstream anti-inflammatory substances such as HO-1 and NQO-1, thereby playing an anti-inflammatory role. And phosphorylation is an important link in Nrf2 activation for subsequent anti-inflammatory modulation.
Experiments prove that CDDO-Me can activate Nrf2/HO-1 signal paths and improve the levels of Nrf2, p-Nrf2, HO-1 and NQO1 in mice. The levels of the above proteins in mouse myocardium were determined by WB and IFC experiments (see FIGS. 11A, 11B, 11C, 11D, 11E and 12A, 12C, 13A, 13B, 14A, 14C, 15AB, 15C), while the levels of Nrf2, HO-1 and NQO 1-related mRNA in mouse myocardium were determined by RT-PCR (FIGS. 12B, 14B and 15B). From the results, the Nrf2/HO-1 signal pathway in the myocardium of the mice after CVB3 infection is inhibited, the content of the anti-inflammatory factors and the expression of related mRNA are reduced compared with the control group, and the Nrf2/HO-1 signal pathway is activated through CDDO-Me intervention, so that the anti-inflammatory effect is achieved, and the anti-inflammatory agent has statistical significance.
