Description

Application of radix pseudostellariae cyclic peptide B in preparation of drugs for improving cardiac function
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of medicines, and particularly relates to application of pseudostellaria root cyclic peptide B in preparation of a medicine for improving cardiac function.
Background
As a metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycemia, diabetes can cause systemic multi-organ, multi-system damage, where the risk factors for diabetic cardiomyopathy (Diabetic cardiomyopathy, DCM) predominate, leading to death from heart failure in the patient. Diabetic cardiomyopathy is a heart disease caused by blood sugar and/or hyperlipidemia, etc., and heart failure is a major clinical manifestation of diabetic cardiomyopathy. The onset of diabetic cardiomyopathy is suppressed, the earliest manifestations are usually dominated by impaired diastolic function, and progress to overt diastolic heart failure in the later stages, with or without ventricular enlargement, which is usually accompanied by reduced systolic function.
At present, hypoglycemic agents, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin II antagonists, beta receptor blockers and the like are adopted for clinical treatment, and although the hypoglycemic agents control blood sugar concentration, the hypoglycemic agents have insignificant effects on heart, cardiovascular drugs have the risk of aggravating hyperglycemia, so the curative effect is limited. The main reason is that the specific pathogenesis of the diabetic cardiomyopathy is unknown, and no specific treatment method exists.
Chinese patent application 202110697230.8 discloses a new use of iCRT14, in particular to a new use of iCRT14 in preparing a medicament for treating type 2 diabetic cardiomyopathy. The iCRT14 is capable of lowering blood glucose in type 2 diabetic cardiomyopathy, improving myocardial remodeling in type 2 diabetic cardiomyopathy, improving systolic and diastolic dysfunction caused by type 2 diabetic cardiomyopathy, and inhibiting high-glucose high-insulin-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy.
Chinese patent application 201810023779.7 discloses the application of tumor necrosis factor alpha-inducing protein 3 in preparing medicine for treating diabetic cardiomyopathy. Establishing a mouse diabetic cardiomyopathy model through High Fat Diet (HFD) induction, infecting primary rat cardiomyocytes through constructing a recombinant adenovirus vector (AdA) which overexpresses A20, and establishing an in vitro cell model of the diabetic cardiomyopathy by high-level fatty acid stimulation, and simultaneously establishing a mouse diabetic cardiomyopathy model through HFD induction by taking WT mice and heart-specific A20 gene knockout mice (A20 CKO) as experimental subjects, wherein the protein expression level of A20 in heart tissues of mice of HFD 24W is found to be significantly reduced.
None of the drugs provided in the above application is related to a specific therapeutic target, so revealing the pathogenesis of diabetic cardiomyopathy, defining the therapeutic target and finding a drug effective in treatment is a problem to be solved in the art.
The radix pseudostellariae cyclic peptide B is one of main components of traditional Chinese medicine radix pseudostellariae, and is one of the current radix pseudostellariae cyclic peptide components which is more studied. Modern researches have shown that radix Pseudostellariae mainly contains chemical components such as saccharides, cyclic peptides, saponins, amino acids, volatile oil, trace elements, etc. Modern pharmacological researches show that the traditional Chinese medicine composition has the effects of enhancing immunity, resisting bacteria, resisting lipid peroxidation/inflammation and the like, and has few reports on the effects of the traditional Chinese medicine composition on diabetic cardiomyopathy.

The diabetic cardiomyopathy belongs to the categories of diabetes, palpitation, chest stuffiness, and true heart pain in the traditional Chinese medicine. The pathogenesis of the diabetic cardiomyopathy is complex and is often summarized as deficiency, phlegm and blood stasis, which are marked by deficiency, deficiency of both qi and yin and accumulation of phlegm and blood stasis, so that the symptoms are treated by tonifying qi, nourishing yin, reducing phlegm and removing blood stasis. Because qi can produce blood and promote the production of body fluid, "qi can promote blood circulation", "qi can promote water circulation"; qi excess results in smooth qi movement, and phlegm and blood stasis are removed automatically, so it is mainly indicated for qi-tonifying.
The radix pseudostellariae is a dry root tuber of Pax ex Pax et Hoffm in the new from the herbal, namely the child ginseng Pseudostellaria heterophylla (Miq.) of the Caryophyllaceae, is sweet and slightly bitter, and has the effects of tonifying qi, strengthening spleen, promoting the production of body fluid and moistening lung, and is a common medicament for treating diabetic cardiomyopathy in traditional Chinese medicine. Modern researches have shown that radix Pseudostellariae mainly contains chemical components such as saccharides, cyclic peptides, saponins, amino acids, volatile oil, trace elements, etc. Modern pharmacological researches have shown that it has the functions of enhancing immunity, resisting bacteria, resisting lipid peroxidation/inflammation, reducing blood sugar and lipid, resisting myocardial infarction/heart failure, etc.

EXAMPLE 1 Effect of Pseudostellaria root cyclic peptide B on cardiac function and blood sugar in diabetic cardiomyopathy mice
1) Preparation of diabetic cardiomyopathy mouse model
Building a diabetic cardiomyopathy mouse animal model by adopting Streptozotocin (STZ) modeling: the mice diabetes model was prepared by intraperitoneal injection of STZ. Mice were fasted for 8 hours per day and were intraperitoneally injected with STZ 55mg/kg (mass ratio of STZ to mice, where STZ is in mg and mice are in kg) at a volume of 200 μl per 20g of mice. Mice with blood glucose levels exceeding 16.5mM after 1 week were determined to be successfully modeled after 5 consecutive days, with blood glucose testing using a ROCHE glucometer.
2) Grouping and administration
Normal control, model, pseudostellaria root cyclic peptide B dosing groups of 10 animals each. Administration was started 4 weeks after STZ injection, and index detection was performed 4 weeks after continuous administration.
3) Index detection
(1) Body weight and blood glucose monitoring
Mice were tested for body weight every 2 weeks and blood glucose levels were tested using a ROCHE glucometer.
(2) Cardiac function detection
The animal blind method adopts an echocardiogram to observe the end inner diameters of the left ventricle in the systolic and diastolic phases and the heart ejection fraction; hemodynamic measurement: mice were anesthetized and immobilized, the right common carotid artery was isolated, pressure sensor connected and arterial pressure recorded. The left ventricular systolic pressure, the left ventricular end diastolic pressure, the maximum rate of rise in the left indoor pressure, and the maximum rate of fall in the left indoor pressure are recorded, respectively.
4) Statistical treatment
Data processing analysis is carried out by using GraphPad software, the results are all expressed by mean ± variance, the comparison between groups adopts single factor variance analysis, and P < 0.05 indicates that the difference has statistical significance.
5) Experimental results
The results show that STZ-induced cardiac dysfunction in diabetic cardiomyopathy mice was improved after treatment with pseudostellaria root cyclic peptide B (fig. 1); wherein the EF value is reduced by 40% after STZ induction, and the EF value is increased by 30% after administration of pseudostellaria root cyclic peptide B (figure 2); the treatment with pseudostellaria root cyclic peptide B was not apparent on glycemic control (fig. 3).
EXAMPLE 2 Effect of Pseudostellaria root cyclopeptide B on collagen formation and mitochondria in myocardial tissue of diabetic cardiomyopathy mice
1) Preparation of diabetic cardiomyopathy mouse model
As in example 1.
2) Grouping and administration
Normal control, model, pseudostellaria root cyclic peptide B dosing groups of 10 animals each. Administration was started 4 weeks after STZ injection, and index detection was performed 4 weeks after continuous administration.
3) Detection index
Taking a mouse heart, flushing the heart with physiological saline, embedding a heart sample OCT (optimal cutting temperature) embedding medium, and detecting pathology related indexes after frozen sections: masson staining, inverted microscope observation of collagen formation, CD31 and SMA staining to detect angiogenesis and TUNEL staining to detect myocardial apoptosis. And detecting myocardial mitochondrial autophagy and morphology by a transmission electron microscope.
4) Image processing
Data processing analysis was performed using ImageJ software.
5) Experimental results
The results show that myocardial tissue collagen staining shows that myocardial tissue of diabetic cardiomyopathy mice has a large amount of collagen production; pseudostellaria root cyclic peptide B significantly inhibited collagen formation after administration (fig. 4). Meanwhile, the transmission electron microscope result shows that partial sarcomere structure of the diabetic cardiomyopathy mice is destroyed, myofilaments are broken and dissolved, mitochondria are arranged in disorder and swell, and most of cristae is broken; the pseudostellaria root cyclic peptide B can repair the sarcomere structure and restore the mitochondrial morphology after being administered (figure 5).
Example 3 Effect of Pseudostellaria root cyclopeptide B on the autophagy-related proteins of mouse myocardium in diabetic cardiomyopathy
1) Preparation of diabetic cardiomyopathy mouse model
As in example 1.
2) Grouping and administration
As in example 2.
3) Detection index
Western Blot method for detecting myocardial tissue mitochondrial autophagy related protein expression: parkin, MAVS, bcl2L13, FUNDC1, MUL1, BNIP3L and Prohibitin 2.
4) Statistical treatment
Data processing analysis was performed using ImageJ software.
5) Experimental results
Mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein (Mitochondrial antiviral-signaling protein, MAVS) is a key protein that has been recently found to localize to the outer mitochondrial membrane, promoting mitochondrial autophagy to exert mitochondrial homeostasis.
The results showed that Parkin was significantly reduced in diabetic myocardium to induce loss of mitochondrial autophagy (fig. 6). Mitochondrial autophagy may also be mediated by mitochondrial receptor proteins: prohibiin 2, bcl2-L-13, FUNDC1, MUL1, BNIP3L and MAVS. Therefore, the inventors extracted myocardial tissue proteins, and studied the above mitochondrial autophagy-related proteins, and found that STZ-induced protein expression of Parkin and MAVS was significantly reduced in diabetic cardiomyopathy mice, while there was no effect on the profhibiin 2, bcl2-L-13, fusion 1, mul1 and BNIP3L proteins, suggesting that mitochondrial autophagy loss was related to Parkin and MAVS in STZ-induced diabetic cardiomyopathy (fig. 6). The protein expression of MAVS was significantly up-regulated after treatment with pseudostellate cyclopeptide B, with no effect on Parkin (FIG. 6), suggesting that mitochondrial autophagy modulation of pseudostellate cyclopeptide B is associated with only the MAVS pathway. The invention discovers that the radix pseudostellariae cyclic peptide B is used as a substrate and plays a role by combining with MAVS.
Example 4 Effect of Pseudostellaria root cyclic peptide B on the high sugar-induced myocardial apoptosis Rate
1) Preparation of high sugar injury H9c2 cell model
After treatment of the in vitro cultured rat cardiomyocyte cell line (H9 c 2) with a (100 μm concentration) glucose solution (24 hours), a high sugar damage H9c2 cell model was obtained.
2) Grouping and administration
Dividing the H9c2 cells into a normal control group, a model group and a radix pseudostellariae cyclic peptide B administration group, and administering glucose solutions with the same volume concentration into the model group and the administration group, wherein the radix pseudostellariae cyclic peptide B is additionally added into the administration group.
3) Detection index
After cell plating grouping treatment, the Annexin V-FITC apoptosis detection kit (Annexin V-FITC Apoptosis Detection Kit) marks phosphatidylserine on the surface of apoptotic cell membranes and reflects the apoptosis rate of cells.
Annexin is a class of calcium ion-dependent phospholipid-binding proteins widely distributed in eukaryotic cell cytoplasm and involved in intracellular signal transduction. However, only Annexin V has been reported to modulate some PKC activities.
Annexin V selectively binds to Phosphatidylserine (PS). Phosphatidylserine is predominantly distributed on the inner side of the cell membrane, i.e. the side adjacent to the cell plasma. In the early stages of apoptosis, different types of cells can evert phosphatidylserine to the cell surface, i.e., outside the cell membrane. Phosphatidylserine promotes coagulation and inflammatory reactions upon exposure to the cell surface. And Annexin V can block procoagulant and pro-inflammatory activities of phosphatidylserine after binding to phosphatidylserine everting to the cell surface.
The important feature of phosphotidyl serine, valgus apoptosis, can be detected very simply and directly by flow cytometry or fluorescence microscopy using a fluorescent probe FITC labeled Annexin V, i.e., annexin V-FITC, with green fluorescence.
5) Experimental results
The results showed that H9c2 cardiomyocyte staining showed an increase in apoptosis rate of about 40% in the diabetic cardiomyocyte model and a decrease in cardiomyocyte apoptosis rate of about 20% after treatment with pseudostellate cyclopeptide B (fig. 7).
Example 5 Effect of Pseudostellaria root cyclic peptide B on high glucose-induced mitochondrial membrane potential and active oxygen in cardiomyocytes
1) Preparation of high sugar injury H9c2 cell model
After treatment of in vitro cultured H9c2 cells (24 hours) with (100 μm concentration) glucose solution, a high sugar damage H9c2 cell model was obtained.
2) Grouping and administration
Dividing the H9c2 cells into a normal control group, a model group and a radix pseudostellariae cyclic peptide B administration group, and administering glucose solutions with the same volume concentration into the model group and the administration group, wherein the radix pseudostellariae cyclic peptide B is additionally added into the administration group.
3) Detection index
After cell plating grouping treatment, JC-1 fluorescent probe marks the mitochondrial membrane potential of living cells and reflects the opening degree of the mPTP pore channel; mitoSox staining detects mitochondrial endogenous ROS.
The Mitosox Red superoxide indicator is a novel fluorescent dye and specifically targets mitochondria in living cells. Oxidation of the MitoSOX reagent with mitochondrial superoxide produces bright green or red fluorescence. Mitochondrial production superoxide can be visualized by fluorescence microscopy using a MitoSOX superoxide indicator. The indicator permeates living cells and selectively targets mitochondria therein. These indicators are rapidly oxidized by superoxide but not by other Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) and Reactive Nitrogen Species (RNS). The oxidation products fluoresce strongly.
JC-1 is an ideal fluorescent probe widely used for detecting mitochondrial membrane potential, and can detect the mitochondrial membrane potential of cells, tissues or purification. At higher mitochondrial membrane potentials, JC-1 aggregates in the matrix of mitochondria (matrix), forming polymers (J-aggregates), which can produce red fluorescence; at low mitochondrial membrane potential, JC-1 cannot aggregate in the matrix of mitochondria, and JC-1 is a monomer (monomer) and can generate green fluorescence. This allows for a very convenient detection of changes in mitochondrial membrane potential by fluorescence color transitions. The relative proportion of red-green fluorescence is often used to measure the proportion of mitochondrial depolarization. The drop in mitochondrial membrane potential is a hallmark event in the early phase of apoptosis. The decrease in cell membrane potential can be readily detected by the transition of JC-1 from red to green fluorescence, and the transition of JC-1 from red to green fluorescence can also be used as a detection indicator for early apoptosis.
4) Statistical treatment
Data processing analysis was performed using ImageJ, graphPad software, the results were all expressed as mean ± variance, the comparison between groups was performed using one-way variance analysis, and P < 0.05 indicated that the differences were statistically significant.
5) Experimental results
The results showed that H9c2 cardiomyocyte staining showed an increase in ROS content in the diabetic cardiomyocyte model resulting in apoptosis (fig. 8), and that the ROS content in the cardiomyocytes was reduced by about 20% after administration of pseudostellate cyclopeptide B (fig. 9). Statistical results showed significant differences between the different groups.
Cardiomyocyte lineage staining showed a decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential in the diabetic cardiomyocyte model leading to apoptosis (fig. 10); the pseudostellaria root cyclic peptide B can obviously improve the mitochondrial membrane potential of myocardial cells after being administered. Statistical results showed that the model group membrane potential was reduced by about 20% compared to the normal group, while the radix pseudostellariae treatment group increased by about 10% compared to the model group membrane potential.
