Description

Application of IL-33 recombinant protein
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of biological medicines, in particular to application of IL-33 recombinant protein in preparing a medicine for treating acute liver failure, relieving liver immune injury or relieving liver inflammatory injury.
Background
In liver failure, a great deal of liver cells die, inflammatory cell infiltration and liver ischemic injury are accompanied, and the regeneration capacity of the liver cells is exceeded, so that liver function is decompensated, a series of complications are caused, and finally, the multi-organ failure is caused, and the mechanism mainly relates to direct injury and immune-mediated indirect injury. Direct damage mainly refers to the direct toxic effects of viruses, drugs, poisons, alcohol and other factors on the liver. However, immune mediated indirect injury is critical in the course of liver failure, especially the activation of T cell immune cells, and the imbalance of immune cells, which produce corresponding inflammatory cytokines, causing inflammatory waterfall-like responses. Therefore, how to regulate unbalanced immune cells, block inflammatory cytokine storm and promote regeneration and repair of liver cells is an important and difficult problem of acute liver failure research.
Interleukin 33 (IL-33) is a multifunctional gene found in 2005, is one of important regulatory factors for inflammatory response and immune bias, and can act as a transcription factor for molecules located in the nucleus and can be secreted outside cells to act as a cytokine. IL-33 is a novel member of the IL-1 family, one of the important mediators of inflammatory response and immune bias, and the receptor is ST2 (Interleukin 1like receptor), mainly inducing Th2 type immunity. IL-33 normally exists in the nucleus and functions as a transcription factor, and when the cell is damaged, IL-33 is secreted to the outside and then binds to the receptor ST2, thereby functioning as a cytokine. However, no report on the use of IL-33 recombinant proteins for treating liver failure or reducing liver immune injury is currently seen.
Disclosure of Invention
First, the technical problem to be solved
In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings and disadvantages of the prior art, the present invention provides an IL-33 recombinant protein, which can be used to increase proliferation activity of Treg cells in liver, promote expression of PD-1 and the like in spleen Treg cells, promote expression of CTLA4 and the like in liver Treg cells to enhance inhibition function of Treg cells, thereby reducing immune injury degree of liver and achieving the purpose of treating acute liver failure.
(II) technical scheme
The technical scheme of the invention is as follows:
the application of IL-33 recombinant protein in preparing medicaments for treating acute liver failure, relieving liver immune injury or relieving liver inflammatory injury.
Preferably, the liver immune injury is an immune system dysfunction, resulting in liver injury; including autoimmune factors, genetic factors, viral factors, drug or alcohol induced immune injury of the liver.
Preferably, the liver immune injury is a Con a-induced liver injury.
Preferably, the amino acid sequence of the IL-33 recombinant protein is shown as SEQ ID NO. 1.
Preferably, the medicament is an injection containing IL-33 recombinant protein.
(III) beneficial effects
Experiments prove that the change trend of IL-33 in serum of Con A liver injury model animals is consistent with the liver tissue injury degree. However, if the IL-33 recombinant protein is used for pretreatment before the modeling of the mouse Con a, the inflammatory injury of the liver of the mouse induced by the Con a (canavalin) can be significantly reduced, and the specific manifestations include: can obviously reduce the liver ALT and AST levels of a Con A liver injury model mouse, lighten the liver lobular structural disorder of the mouse and obviously reduce the liver necrosis area, and simultaneously obviously lighten inflammatory cell infiltration. Experiments further prove that after Con A modeling is carried out on mice pretreated by IL-33 recombinant protein, the spleen Treg cells and the control group have no obvious difference, but the liver Treg cells are obviously increased, and the IL-33 recombinant protein can obviously promote the expression of PD-1 and Ki67 in the spleen Treg cells and promote the expression of CTLA4 in the liver Treg cells, so that the inhibition function of the Treg cells is enhanced, and the liver immune injury degree is reduced. Therefore, the IL-33 recombinant protein can be used for preparing a novel medicament for treating acute liver failure or relieving liver immune injury.
The invention can effectively provide a new molecular target for the treatment of acute liver failure and theoretical guidance for drug development or formulation of new treatment schemes.

Detailed Description
The invention will be better explained by the following detailed description of the embodiments with reference to the drawings.

Thus, if the inhibitory function of regulatory T cells could be promoted or enhanced, it would be helpful to alleviate hepatic immune injury. According to animal experiments, the IL-33 recombinant protein can obviously promote the expression of PD-1 and Ki67 in spleen Treg cells and promote the expression of CTLA4 in liver Treg cells, so that the inhibition function of the Treg cells is enhanced, the immune injury degree of the liver is reduced, and acute liver failure is treated.

Example 1
This example demonstrates that in a Con A (Canavalia) induced mouse model, IL-33 expression is consistent with a trend in the severity of liver injury. In order to compare the change rule of the liver injury of the mice in the Con A induced liver injury mouse model, mice are sacrificed 6 hours, 12 hours and 24 hours after the Con A molding, and the liver transaminase and the liver pathological injury conditions of the mice at different time points are compared. The molding method of the embodiment comprises the following steps: female C57BL/6J mice were randomly selected from 6-8 weeks and divided into two groups, namely a Con A model group and a control group, and the treatment method is as follows:con A model group: administration of 10mg/kg of Canavalia gladiata protein was injected via the inner canthus vein;control group: the physiological saline is administered in a corresponding dose.
The experimental results are shown in FIG. 1. In the figure, A is: pre-Con a molding (control group) and post-Con a molding 6, 12, 24h, wt mouse plasma ALT changes (n=5-6); b is: pre-Con a molding (control group) and post-Con a molding 6, 12, 24h, wt mouse plasma AST changes (n=5-6); c is: con A pre-molding (control) and Con A post-molding 6, 12, 24H, WT mouse liver tissue H & E staining represent plots (100×,200×). D is: pretreatment of Con A (control) and 6, 12, 24h after Con A molding, liver tissue HE staining Ishak inflammatory injury score (n=6). ns represents no statistical differences, without statistical differences. * And P <0.05, P <0.01, P <0.001, respectively.
From the results shown in FIG. 1, the ALT and AST were significantly increased after Con A molding, and reached a peak 12 hours after molding, and then gradually decreased (A, B in FIG. 1) as compared with the control group. HE staining of liver tissue showed: after Con A molding, liver lobular structure was disturbed, inflammatory cell infiltration in the sink region was remarkable, the necrotic area of liver tissue was enlarged, and the peak was reached at 12 hours, bridging necrosis occurred (C in FIG. 1), and after Con A molding for 24 hours, the necrotic area of liver in mice was remarkably reduced (C in FIG. 1). Ishak liver tissue inflammatory injury scores also showed a significant increase in liver injury scores after Con A induction, a peak 12 hours and a significant decrease in 24 hours (D of FIG. 1). The results suggest that the liver injury of mice peaks 12 hours after Con A molding.
Meanwhile, the expression of IL-33 in Con A mouse model was further examined in the experiment, and the results are shown in FIG. 2. In the figure, A is: ELISA method for detecting IL-33 expression level (n=8-11) of WT mice plasma 6, 12 and 24 hours before Con A molding (control) and after Con A molding; b is: qRT-PCR method detects IL-33mRNA relative expression level (n=4-6) in liver tissue of WT mouse 6, 12 and 24 hours before Con A molding (control) and after Con A molding; ns represents no statistical differences, without statistical differences. * P <0.01, P <0.001, respectively.
As can be seen from the results shown in FIG. 2, the IL-33 expression was gradually increased after Con A molding, reached a peak (163.2.+ -. 58.83 pg/mL) after 12 hours, and decreased (36.90.+ -. 40.47 pg/mL) after 24 hours, compared with the control group (5.167.+ -. 4.036 pg/mL) (A in FIG. 2). The detection of IL-33mRNA transcription level of liver tissue shows that after Con A modeling, the IL-33 transcription level in liver tissue is gradually increased, the transcription level reaches a peak for 12 hours, the transcription level is about 18 times that of a control group, and the transcription level is about 2 times that of the control group after 24 hours (B of FIG. 2). Taken together with fig. 1 and 2, the results suggest that IL-33 expression in serum of model mice after Con a modeling gradually increases, peaks at 12h, and then gradually decreases, and the change trend is consistent with the degree of liver tissue damage.
Example 2
This example demonstrates that intervention with IL-33 recombinant protein significantly reduces the extent of Con A-induced inflammatory injury to the liver of mice. In order to clearly demonstrate the role of IL-33 recombinant protein in liver inflammatory injury, the present experiment pre-treats mice by injecting IL-33 recombinant protein before Con A molding, then normally molds Con A, compares the liver injury difference of two molded mice which are not treated by IL-33 recombinant protein and are treated by IL-33 recombinant protein, and the comparison indexes comprise: serum detection liver function indexes ALT and AST, liver tissue HE staining analysis pathological injury condition, ishak modified liver inflammatory injury score, plasma IL-33 expression level, liver IL-33mRNA expression level, mouse liver and spleen Treg functions and the like (comprising cell proliferation PD-1 and CTLA-4 expression). By detecting the above indicators, the effect of IL-33 on Treg function was comprehensively evaluated.
The molding method of the embodiment comprises the following steps: female C57BL/6J mice were randomly selected from 6-8 weeks and divided into three groups, namely IL-33 recombinant protein (pretreatment) group, con A group and control group, and the operations were as follows:
con A model group: 2 hours before Con A molding, physiological saline was injected intraperitoneally into 1 g/mouse, and 10mg/kg (Canavalia) of the saline was then administered via intracanthus intravenous injection to perform Con A molding.IL-33 recombinant protein (pretreatment) group: the molding was performed by intraperitoneal injection (IL-33 recombinant protein) in 1 g/mouse 2 hours before Con A molding, followed by injection of 10mg/kg of Canavalia gladiata protein via the inner canthus vein.Control group: the corresponding dose of physiological saline is always administered.
Wherein, the amino acid sequence of the IL-33 recombinant protein used for injection of the IL-33 recombinant protein group is SIQGTSLLTQSPASLSTYNDQSVSFVLENGCYVINVDDSGKDQEQDQVLLRYYESPCPASQSGDGVDGKKLMVNMSPIKDTDIWLHANDKDYSVELQRGDVSPPEQAFFVLHKKSSDFVSFECKNLPGTYIGVKDNQLALVEEKDESCNNIMFKLSKI (see SEQ ID NO. 1).
The experimental results are shown in FIG. 3. In the figure, A is: differences in plasma ALT levels (n=6) in Con a pre-modeling (control), 12h (Con a), and IL-33 recombinant protein pretreatment group (Con a+il-33 recombinant protein); in the figure, B is: plasma AST level differences (n=6) in the Con a pre-model (control), model 12h (Con a) and IL-33 recombinant protein pretreatment group (Con a+il-33 recombinant protein). C is: liver tissue HE staining results (100×,200×) of the Con a pre-molding (control), molding 12h (Con a) and IL-33 recombinant protein pretreatment group (Con a+il-33 recombinant protein). D is: pre-modeling (control), 12h (Con a), and IL-33 recombinant protein pretreatment group (Con a+il-33 recombinant protein) liver injury pathology score (n=5). * And P <0.05, P <0.01, P <0.001, respectively.
As can be seen from FIG. 3, the liver ALT and AST levels of mice were significantly increased (ALT: 4897.+ -. 1578U/L, AST: 5468.+ -. 1923U/L) after 12h of Con A molding compared with the control group (ALT: 41.33.+ -. 15.95U/L, AST: 131.5.+ -. 37.82U/L), while the IL-33 recombinant protein (pretreatment) levels of mice were significantly decreased (ALT: 1522.+ -. 1377U/L, AST: 1766.+ -. 1314U/L) (A, B of FIG. 3). Liver HE staining showed that the IL-33 recombinant protein pretreatment group (Con a+il-33 recombinant protein) mice had a reduced liver lobular structural disturbance, a significantly reduced liver necrosis area and significantly reduced inflammatory cell infiltration compared to Con a model 12h (C of fig. 3). Meanwhile, ishak liver tissue pathology injury scores also showed that the IL-33 recombinant protein pretreatment group (Con A+IL-33 recombinant protein) had significantly lower liver injury scores compared to the Con A model (D of FIG. 3).
Example 3
Based on the experimental method and model induction method of example 2, this example further compares the changes in mouse Treg cells and Treg cell functional molecules of the IL-33 recombinant protein pretreatment group under the Con a model. The experimental results are shown in fig. 4, in which a and E are respectively: pre-modeling (control), modeling for 12h (Con a), and ratio of Treg cells in spleen and liver of IL-33 recombinant protein pretreatment group (Con a+il-33 recombinant protein) mice (n=7); in the figure, B and F are respectively: PD-1 in mice spleen and liver Treg cells of Con A Pre-model (control), model 12h (Con A) and IL-33 recombinant protein pretreatment group (Con A+IL-33 recombinant protein) + Is a ratio of cells; in the figure, C, G are respectively: CTLA4 in mice spleen and liver Treg cells of Con A pre-model (control), model 12h (Con A) and IL-33 recombinant protein pretreatment group (Con A+IL-33 recombinant protein) + Is a ratio of cells; in the figure, D, H are respectively: ki67 in mice spleen and liver Treg cells of Con A pre-model (control), model 12h (Con A) and IL-33 recombinant protein pretreatment group (Con A+IL-33 recombinant protein) + Is a cell proportion of (a). ns represents no statistical differences, without statistical differences. * Respectively representing P<0.05,P<0.01,P<0.001。
From the results shown in fig. 4, after modeling of Con a, no significant difference was seen between Treg cells in spleen and control (as in fig. 4 a), while Treg cells in liver were significantly increased (as in fig. 4E). As seen in a and E of fig. 4, after pretreatment with IL-33 recombinant protein, although there was no significant difference between Treg cells and the Con a model group, it was not difficult to find from B and D of fig. 4 that IL-33 recombinant protein significantly promoted the expression levels of PD-1, ki67 in spleen Treg cells, while significantly promoting the expression level of CTLA4 in liver Treg cells (e.g., G of fig. 4), but after pretreatment with IL-33 recombinant protein, there was no significant effect on CTLA4 expression in spleen Treg cells and PD-1 and Ki67 expression in liver Treg cells (C, F, H of fig. 4), i.e., neither promotion nor inhibition. Thus, the proliferation activity of the liver and spleen Treg cells can be improved by injecting the IL-33 recombinant protein, and the inhibition function of the Treg cells can be enhanced by promoting the expression of spleen PD-1 and Ki67 and the expression of liver CTLA-4, so that the acute liver failure injury is relieved.
Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical solution of the present invention, and not for limiting the same; although the invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that: the technical scheme described in the foregoing embodiments can be modified or some or all of the technical features thereof can be replaced by equivalents; such modifications and substitutions do not depart from the spirit of the invention.
