Description

Polypeptide compound for preventing and/or treating renal fibrosis
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of biochemistry, and particularly relates to a polypeptide compound for preventing and/or treating renal fibrosis.
Background
Fibrosis is characterized by the loss of capillary networks and aggregation of fibrous collagen, activated myofibroblasts, and inflammatory cells. In kidney fibrosis, tubular Epithelial Cells (TECs) are lost due to cell death, and the remaining cells dedifferentiate, resulting in reduced expression of the characteristic epithelial marker, increased expression of the mesenchymal marker (Kang HM, ahn SH, choi P, koYA, han SH, chinga F, park AS, tao J, shalma K, pullman J, bottinger EP, goldberg IJ, susztak K.deffective fatty acid oxidation in renal tubular epithelial cells has a key role in kidney fibrosis development. Nat Med.2015Jan;21 (1): 37-46.). Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) affects nearly 10% of adults in the united states, and the incidence and prevalence of the disease is rising worldwide. CKD progresses to end-stage renal disease, with progressive decline in renal function as the number of functional nephrons of interest is lost. Treatment options for CKD are limited and only provide partial protection against CKD progression. Thus, developing more effective drugs to stop CKD progression is a key challenge for public health (Zhang ZH, he JQ, zhao YY, chen HC, tan nh.aseptic acid prevents renal fibrosis in UUO rats via promoting the production of d-PGJ2, an endogenous ligand of PPAR- γ. Acta Pharmacol sin.2020mar;41 (3): 373-382).
Renal fibrosis is the final co-manifestation of all forms of end-stage Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), mainly associated with cardiovascular disease such as age, obesity, diabetes, hypertension, etc. Pathophysiology of renal fibrosis can be divided into four overlapping phases: initiation, activation, execution, and progression. Although there is no clear limit between these four phases, each phase is associated with a specific molecular and cellular mechanism (Zhang X, ritter JK, li N.Sphingosine-1-phosphate pathway in Renal fibrins.am J Physiol Renal physiol.2018 Oct 1;315 (4): F752-F756.). The occurrence mechanism of kidney fibrosis is: the different organs are mostly dominated by localized epithelial lesions before fibrosis develops. Exposure of epithelial cells to toxins can lead to the development of tissue fibrosis, highlighting the pathogenicity of epithelial lesions, and also indicating that epithelial-mesenchymal cell signaling is also the primary mechanism responsible for most of the interstitial fibrotic nephropathy in the important epithelial-mesenchymal transition (epithelial mesenchymallransition, EMT) that promotes fibrosis. Studies have been conducted on kidney tissue biopsies from 133 renal patients to find that there is epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition of epithelial tubular cells in most patients except for histological lesions, and more importantly that the extent of EMT extension is closely related to the extent of interstitial lesions (Wang Jinrong, xiong Yangyang, lichao, yoga, kong Juan. Progress of renal fibrosis [ J ]. Journal of medical research, 2015,44 (06): 158-160.). Renal fibrosis (RIF) is a pathological consequence of excessive deposition of extracellular matrix following many pathogenic factors leading to aberrations in cytokines, signaling pathways, etc., which may be one of the leading causes of the development of RIF. TGF-beta/Smad, TLR4, wnt/beta-catenin, notch, etc. are currently the major signaling pathways studied to lead to the occurrence of RIF (Legenamine, zhang Shi, yu Xueqin, chen Fang, mei Yi. Progress of research on the role of signaling pathways in the mechanism of renal fibrosis [ J ]. Shandong medicine, 2020,60 (02): 102-105.).
There is no drug currently available that can fully treat kidney fibrosis, and therefore, there is a real need to provide a novel polypeptide compound for treating kidney fibrosis.
