Description

Endoplasmic reticulum stress inhibitor and application thereof
Technical Field
The application relates to the field of biotechnology, in particular to an endoplasmic reticulum stress inhibitor and application thereof.
Background
Endoplasmic reticulum is a dynamic membranous organelle, and its main functions include protein synthesis and folding, ca 2+ Storage, lipid metabolism, etc. The endoplasmic reticulum contributes to the production and folding of about one third of cellular proteins, and misfolding of proteins can directly lead to the occurrence of a variety of diseases, thus maintaining a delicate balance between homeostasis of the endoplasmic reticulum and disease. When the cells are stimulated by adverse conditions, ca is caused 2+ Disruption of homeostasis, or intracellular redox imbalance, etc., will lead to abnormal protein glycosylation or defective protein folding, accumulation of unfolded or misfolded proteins within the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum, affecting the functioning of the normal function of the endoplasmic reticulum, a condition known as endoplasmic reticulum stress (ER stress). In order to defend against or respond to endoplasmic reticulum stress, cells have a complete set of signaling systems to restore endoplasmic reticulum homeostasis and normal endoplasmic reticulum function, including unfolded protein response (Unfolded protein response, UPR), endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD), and autophagy.
The first line of defense for the fastest response is the UPR when the cell is in the ER stress state. UPR consists of three endoplasmic reticulum membrane intercalating proteins, myo-inositol essential enzyme 1 (Inositol requiring Protein, IRE 1), double-stranded RNA-activated Protein kinase-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK) and activated transcription factor 6 (Activating transcription factor, ATF 6), where IRE1 and PERK pathways are most conserved in a variety of eukaryotes. Under ER stress conditions, IRE1 dissociates from chaperone immunoglobulin binding protein (Binding immunoglobulin protein, bip) on the endoplasmic reticulum to form a dimer which is autophosphorylated to have nuclease activity, catalyzing the splicing of the mRNA of X-box binding protein 1 (X-box binding protein 1, XBP 1) to delete a 26bp intron sequence to form transcriptionally active XBP1s (spiiced XBP 1), the XBP1s nuclear-entering activating downstream including chaperone protein, foldase and ERAD pathway-related gene expression to relieve endoplasmic reticulum stress and restore protein homeostasis; on the other hand, the nuclear entry of XBP1s can regulate non-UPR related genes associated with adipogenesis, lipid metabolism and inflammation.
The development and progression of many diseases of many livers are accompanied by the generation of ER stress, such as lipid deposition in the livers caused by high-fat diet, and the activation of ER stress and UPR is accompanied in the process of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, NAFLD); and drug-induced liver damage such as Acetaminophen (APAP) and Tunicamycin (Tm) can also cause ER stress. Therefore, alleviating ER stress to improve and treat related liver diseases is a new therapeutic means and strategy, and screening drugs capable of inhibiting ER stress has important significance in treating liver related diseases.

In this embodiment, the cell line is treated with the drug to detect the change of fluorescence intensity of the cell, and the specific experimental steps are as follows:
(1) Drug-treated cells
And (3) paving a pLVX-XBP1mNeonGreen NLS HEK293T cell line in a 48-hole plate, wherein the cell fusion degree reaches 60-80% after 16 h. Subsequently, different drugs in the compound library, including a pool of homologous compounds for medicine and food (Medicine Food Homology Compound Library, MCE, #HY-L055) and a pool of monomeric compounds for traditional Chinese medicine (Traditional Chinese Medicine Monomer Library, MCE, #HY-L065), were added to the cells, respectively. 3 repeated holes are arranged on each medicine, the concentration is 10nM, the medicines are gently mixed in a cross-shaped mode, and the treatment time is 24 hours.

Example 2 action of glabridin on inhibition of IRE 1. Alpha. -XBP1s pathway Activity
To further verify the effect of glabridin in inhibiting ire1α -XBP1s pathway activity, the present application next used endoplasmic reticulum stress agonists Thapsigargin (Tg) or Tunicamycin (Tm) to treat the human and murine hepatocyte lines HepG2 and AmL12, respectively.
The specific treatment comprises the following steps: the cell fusion degree reaches 60% -80% after the human liver cell line HepG2 and the mouse liver cell line AmL12 are paved in a six-hole plate for 16 h. After 10. Mu.M Glabridin was added to the cells to pretreat the cells for 16 hours, 100nM Tg or 2.5. Mu.g/mL Tm was added to the cells to treat the cells for 6 hours, and then cellular protein samples were collected and the expression levels of endoplasmic reticulum stress-related proteins such as PERK, IRE 1. Alpha., biP, XBP1s, ATF4, CHOP and the like in the cells were detected by protein gel electrophoresis.
Referring to fig. 2, it was found by Western blot detection of changes in the expression levels of endoplasmic reticulum stress-related proteins that key pathways of endoplasmic reticulum stress were significantly activated after either Tg or Tm treatment, including endoplasmic gateway key chaperones Bip, PERK-ATF4-CHOP pathway and ire1α -XBP1s pathway, and activation of these pathways was significantly inhibited when cells were pretreated with Glabridin.
Example 3 in vivo verification of glabridin Effect in mice
This example demonstrates the effect of glabridin in experimental animals and mice. Tm can specifically cause stress in the hepatic endoplasmic reticulum of mice, causing acute liver injury and lipid deposition, and is a good animal model for verifying the effects of glabridin in vivo.
Injecting 150mg/kg glabridin into the abdominal cavity of a mouse for pretreatment for 2 hours, injecting 1mg/kg Tm into the abdominal cavity for molding, injecting 150mg/kg glabridin into the abdominal cavity again for treatment after 4 hours, and euthanizing the mouse after molding for 6 hours.
Western blot detection is performed on liver tissues, and referring to FIG. 3, tm modeling causes remarkable activation of endoplasmic reticulum stress channels in livers, and glabridin treatment can inhibit the expression level of related proteins, which indicates that glabridin can protect livers of mice from endoplasmic reticulum stress caused by Tm (FIG. 3-A). Serum from mice was collected to detect levels of glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (AST) and glutamic pyruvic transaminase (ALT), which are markers of liver injury, and it was found that glabridin did not cause elevated AST and ALT without significant hepatotoxicity when administered alone for a short period of time. After Tm modeling, serum AST levels were significantly elevated in mice, but ALT was not significantly altered, indicating that Tm caused some degree of liver injury in a short period of time. After glabridin pretreatment and treatment, the increase of AST caused by Tm is obviously inhibited, which indicates that the glabridin can protect the liver of the mice from liver injury caused by Tm (figures 3-B-3-C).
Histomorphometric examination of mouse livers by H & E staining and oil red staining revealed that glabridin alone did not cause significant liver denaturation and lipid deposition, whereas liver developed bubble-like changes and lipid deposition after Tm modeling, which disappeared after glabridin treatment, further indicating that glabridin could protect mouse livers from Tm-induced liver injury and lipid deposition (fig. 3-D).
Example 4 Effect of glabridin on obese (DIO) mouse model
Treatment was given with glabridin 150mg/kg/day orally 1 every 2 days for 8 weeks after significant differences in body weight after 4 weeks of HFD in a high fat diet (Research Diets, # D12492) resulting in obese (DIO) mice model (prior art).
Referring to fig. 4, high fat diet induced obesity resulted in chronic endoplasmic reticulum stress in the liver, which was significantly relieved in DIO mice after glabridin treatment, and activation of ire1α -XBP1s pathway was significantly inhibited as detected by Western blot and RT-PCR (fig. 4-a-4-B).
As a result of observing the change of subcellular structures of hepatic parenchymal cells by a transmission electron microscope, a large number of lipid droplets appear in the hepatic parenchymal cells of the HFD mice, and the number and the particle size of the lipid droplets are obviously reduced after the treatment of the glabridin; meanwhile, mitochondria in liver parenchyma cells of the DIO mice are fragmented, compared with normal diet (Chow diet) mice, the number and the surface area of the mitochondria are obviously reduced, the morphology of the mitochondria is more complete after glabridin treatment, the cristae is clear, and the number and the area of the mitochondria are obviously increased; in addition, the endoplasmic reticulum morphology was discontinuous in DIO mice hepatocytes compared to normal diet mice, whereas the endoplasmic reticulum morphology was intact after glabridin treatment, with a more intimate association with mitochondrial and nuclear membranes (fig. 4-C).
Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical solutions of the present application and not for limiting the scope of protection of the present application, and although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present application without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present application.
