Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of biological medicines, and particularly relates to application of a substance for inhibiting anti-silencing function 1A (anti-silencing function A, ASF 1A) activity in preparation of medicines for preventing and treating atherosclerosis-related vascular diseases.
Background
As the population ages more and more, the prevalence, morbidity and mortality of cardiovascular diseases (Cardiovascular diseases, CVDs) continue to rise, creating a significant health threat and economic burden to humans worldwide. In recent years, in the population dying from diseases in China every year, the number of CVDs accounts for 40% of the total number of deaths, and CVDs become the first cause of diseases and deaths of residents in China.
Atherosclerosis (AS) is the leading cause of CVDs, which among others have been shown to lead to the highest global mortality rates, mainly coronary artery disease (Atherosclerosis involving the arteries supplying the heart) and stroke (Atherosclerosis involving the arteries supplying the brain), making Atherosclerosis the leading cause of death worldwide.
Atherosclerosis is a typical chronic inflammatory vascular disease caused by a variety of factors. The aortic blood vessel is divided into an inner membrane, a middle membrane and an outer membrane from inside to outside, and a monolayer of cells mainly formed by endothelial cells (Endothleial cells, ECs) covers the inner wall of the blood vessel to form the inner membrane of the blood vessel, so that the exchange of oxygen and nutrient substances between blood and tissues is regulated. Thus, ECs play a key role in maintaining the barrier function of blood vessels. It has long been recognized that endothelial cell dysfunction is the initial process of AS, and is primarily characterized by upregulation of chemokines and adhesion molecules, focal penetration, recruiting circulating monocytes into the intima AS foam cells, ultimately leading to plaque formation. Activation and injury of the endothelium at the site of AS susceptibility is one of the major initiation factors for AS development, mainly in vulnerable areas of arterial blood vessels. When endothelial dysfunction occurs, vascular intimal permeability increases, causing leakage of the endothelial layer, leading to massive lipid infiltration and macrophage infiltration, thereby initiating the arteriosclerotic pathological process. Thus, maintaining the integrity of ECs is the first barrier to protect vascular function, the key to develop new strategies to prevent and treat AS.
Endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) is a special process of cell transformation of ECs under the action of a variety of stimuli such as high fat, in which ECs are transformed into mesenchymal cells under a variety of stimuli and gradually lose endothelial-specific markers, obtaining a mesenchymal phenotype, and damaging both barrier function and secretory function of ECs. Abnormal occurrence of EndMT, which frequently occurs in atherosclerosis-prone areas, has been determined to induce neointimal hyperplasia and endothelial cell dysfunction, thereby promoting endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis. There are studies showing that EndMT can promote AS by reducing ECs-characteristic marker expression, increasing expression of extracellular matrix components such AS fibronectin and adhesion molecules. However, the specific molecular mechanisms by which endothelial cells develop EndMT leading to AS remain unclear.
Epigenomic and epigenetic studies have provided some new insight into various diseases caused by non-resolvable inflammation, such as cancer, pulmonary fibrosis and atherosclerosis. There is growing evidence that epigenetics plays an extremely important role in cardiovascular disease, including DNA methylation, histone post-translational modifications, chromatin remodeling, non-coding RNAs, and the like. Histones are the core structure of nucleosomes and can affect chromatin accessibility in a variety of ways. The tail of histones is limited by a variety of post-translational modifications such as methylation, acetylation, phosphorylation, glycosylation, SUMO, ubiquitination, and the like. These histone modifications can significantly regulate chromatin structure and gene expression by changing chromatin microenvironment, and play a vital role in the occurrence and development of many diseases such as atherosclerosis. New studies have found that lactic acid produced by glycolysis can be used as a precursor substance to add a lactoyl group to a lysine residue of histone, and that it serves as a post-translational modification of histone to perform a gene transcription regulatory function, called histone lactonization. Such histone modifications affect gene expression by altering the physical accessibility of DNA molecules to proteins involved in DNA transcription. Furthermore, recent studies have shown that histone lactic acid is closely related to the occurrence and development of various diseases, such as tumors, neurodegenerative diseases, and cardiovascular diseases.
There is increasing evidence that aerobic glycolysis can stimulate histone lactogenesis in macrophages. The energy supply that consumes glucose and accompanies the production of lactic acid even in the presence of oxygen is known as the Warburg effect. Although the Warburg effect is described as a metabolic feature associated with tumors, it is now believed that it is a physiological phenomenon, and that the metabolic pattern of ECs is similar to that of the Warburg effect, and that aerobic glycolysis is still adopted even under aerobic conditions. Glycolysis is the primary energy metabolism of ECs in normal physiological conditions, meeting the ATP demand of 85% of ECs. Glycolysis can ensure normal metabolism and proliferation of ECs in AS-prone areas, maintain ECs steady state and vascular endothelial integrity, protect blood vessels and reduce AS development. However, some studies have shown that while glycolysis is a protective mechanism for ECs, excessive glycolysis is a aggravating endothelial dysfunction. Numerous studies have shown that atherosclerotic plaques develop well in arterial openings, bifurcations and curved sites, and that low shear stress in blood flow is closely related to the occurrence of atherosclerosis. Vascular endothelial cells exposed to turbulent blood flow in the AS-prone region are affected by laminar shear stress, which results in increased glycolysis and excessive glycolysis, resulting in abnormally elevated lactate and histone lactate formation. Excessive glycolysis can induce excessive proliferation of ECs, trigger vascular endothelial permeability, damage endothelial monolayer barrier, and further accelerate AS process, causing up-regulation of inflammatory response. It is currently believed that increased aerobic glycolysis of vascular endothelial cells in the vulnerable areas of atherosclerosis is responsible for inflammation and atherosclerotic lesions. Previous studies have shown that the Warburg effect is also involved in EndMT for pulmonary arterial hypertension. However, the effect of aerobic glycolysis on EndMT in atherosclerosis is currently unknown.
HATP300, histone acetyltransferase, is a potential histone lactated "writer" protein. P300 can catalyze the transfer of lactyl groups from lactyl-coa to histones. It is not known whether P300-dependent histone lactate requires a cofactor for precise regulation of a specific target gene. ASF1A is an evolutionarily well-preserved histone H3/H4 chaperone and is also an important regulator of gene transcription. Histone chaperone ASF1A in humans can regulate CBP-mediated acetylation of histone H3K56 in cells in vivo, and ASF1A has been reported to interact with P300 in drosophila and HeLa cells to form complexes that regulate histone modification. Previous studies have shown that ASF1A plays a key role in the development and progression of tumors, assembly of replication-coupled ribosomes in anemia, and acceleration of the development of chronic myelogenous leukemia by activating Notch signaling, but has not been reported in the cardiovascular field. Histone epigenetic modifications are closely related to the occurrence and progression of various diseases, but it is unknown whether ASF 1A-mediated epigenetic modifications are involved in the process of EndMT.
At present, the role of histone lactogenesis in atherosclerosis and its mechanism have not been studied and reported. Whether histone chaperone ASF1A and histone lactate modification are involved in EndMT and atherosclerosis has also yet to be explored.

Example 3
3.1 construction of Apoe with endothelial cell Asf1 a-specific knockout KO Mouse (Apoe) KO Asf1a ECKO )
There are 6 transcripts of the Asf1a gene, and exon 2 of Asf1a-201 (ENSMUST 00000020004.8) is recommended as the gene knockout region, depending on the structure of the Asf1a gene. The region contains a coding sequence of 116 bp. Knocking out this region will result in disruption of gene function. In this project, we used CRISPR-Cas9 technology to engineer the Asf1a gene. The brief procedure is as follows: the CRISPR-Cas9 system and Donor were microinjected into fertilized eggs of C57BL/6JGpt mice. Positive F0 mice were obtained after fertilized egg transplantation and genotype was confirmed by PCR and targeted amplicon sequencing. Positive F0 mice were mated with C57BL/6JGpt mice to obtain stable F1 mice strains, and the desired mutant alleles were confirmed by PCR and targeted amplicon sequencing. Thereby obtaining Asf1a flox/flox And (3) a mouse. The gene constructs a flox structure by inserting loxp sequences at two sides of exon No. 2. In the cre expression state, cre is nuclease, the cre enters the nucleus to recognize the flox structure, so that the cre is cyclized to cut off the sequence between two loxp, thereby achieving the purposes of knocking exon and frame shift mutation, and leading the target gene Asf1a to be incapable of normally transcribing and translating. After mating with Cre recombinase expressing mice, flox mice will be knocked out, resulting in the loss of function of the gene of interest Asf1a in specific tissues and cell types. Asf1a flox/flox Mice and endothelial cell specific Cdh5-cre mice were purchased from Jiangsu Jiuyaokang Biotech Co. C57BL/6J and Apoe KO Mice were also purchased from Jiangsu Jiuyaokang biotechnology Co., ltd and kept in constant temperature SPF-grade animal houses. By the method of ApoE KO Asf1a floxed (Asf 1a fl/fl ) The mice were hybridized with Cre recombinase system (Cdh 5-Cre) mice driven by vascular endothelial fibronectin (Cdh 5) promoter to obtain mice (Apoe) with specific deletion of Asf1a in endothelial cells KO Asf1a ECKO ). By co-nest Apoe KO Asf1a WT Mouse (Apoe) KO Asf1a fl/fl ) As a control, a normal diet (normal chow, NC; experimental mouseSustaining feed feeding, synergistic) or high-fat diet feeding (HFD; atherosclerosis model feed feeding, 21% fat and 1.25% cholesterol, synergistic organisms) were fed separately for 12 weeks, and an AS mouse model was established, simulating AS disease progression.
3.2 general oil Red staining
The area of the aortic vessel plaque in the whole body of mice was examined by general oil red O staining in a 12 week established AS mouse model fed with high fat for 3.1.
A general oil red O staining step: the aortic blood vessels of the mice were removed, perivascular adipose tissue was removed with forceps, the blood vessels were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 10min, and then rinsed with PBS for 10min. The dissected blood vessel is taken out after being dyed for 1h by using oil red O dyeing working solution, rinsed 3 times by using 60% isopropanol, fat plaque in the lumen is orange or bright red, other parts are nearly colorless, and finally rinsed 2 times by using distilled water. The stained general tissue was spread and fixed on a glass slide, and photographed under good light conditions.
The results of the assay are shown in FIG. 4, comparing the Apoe fed with NC or HFD KO Asf1a ECKO And Apoe KO Asf1a WT Mice, oil red O staining showed, relative to Apoe KO Asf1a ECKO Mice, apoe KO Asf1a WT The lipid burden in the aorta of mice was significantly reduced. Quantitative data statistics of mice aortic vascular oil red O staining showed a reduction in plaque area following endothelial Asf1a knockdown in mice (fig. 4).
3.3 vascular immunofluorescence
Furthermore, to further clarify the role of Asf1a in endothelial dysfunction and AS, applicant isolated NC or HFD fed Apoe KO Asf1a WT And Apoe KO Asf1a ECKO Aortic blood vessels of mice were stained with CD31 (green) and α -SMA (red) double immunofluorescence and nuclei with diamidino-2-phenylindole (4', 6-diamidino-2-phenylindole, DAPI) (blue) for aortic blood vessel frozen sections.
Applicant first isolated the proximal portion of the ascending aorta of the different groups of mice and then embedded OCT frozen section embedding agent. PBS was placed in a refrigerator pre-chilled at 4deg.C. The aorta was snap frozen at-80℃and cut into 8 μm frozen sections. The frozen sections were baked at 55℃for 15min, then fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 20min, followed by instilling 0.1% Triton X-10020min to rupture the membranes. Subsequently, the samples were blocked with 10% BSA for 1 hour and incubated overnight at 4 ℃ with the specific primary antibody. The next day, samples were washed with PBS and then incubated with secondary antibodies for 1h at 37 ℃. Finally, DAPI was used at 1: the nuclei were stained for 10min at a ratio of 1000. The image was obtained by observation and photographing using a confocal laser scanning microscope.
The results are shown in FIG. 5 for HFD fed Apoe KO Asf1a WT The endothelial cell marker CD31 was significantly down-regulated in the vascular intima and plaque of mice, which was found in Apoe KO Asf1a ECKO Is reversed in mice; the opposite phenomenon was seen with the mesenchymal transition cell marker α -SMA, suggesting that Asf1a may be involved in the occurrence of endothelial dysfunction, endMT (fig. 5).
Example 4
To confirm whether Asf1a affects the occurrence of endothelial dysfunction, applicant extracted NC or HFD fed Apoe KO Asf1a WT And Apoe KO Asf1a ECKO Aortic endothelial cells from mice were assayed for expression levels of EndMT-related markers using RT-qPCR analysis. The results are shown in FIG. 6, where endothelial cell specific knockout of Asf1a significantly inhibited the EndMT process. These further demonstrate the key role of endothelial cells Asf1a in histone lactate and the EndMT phenotype (fig. 6).
To determine the effect of endothelial cell specific Asf1a knockout at the cellular level, applicants extracted and cultured Apoe from NC-fed or HFD-fed KO Asf1a WT And Apoe KO Asf1a ECKO MAECs in mice. The results are shown in FIG. 7, which shows the results with Apoe under high fat feeding KO Asf1a ECKO From Apoe compared with mice KO Asf1a WT The cell morphology of the ECs of the mice was significantly altered, not oval, but long fusiform, with a change in the classical cell morphology phenotype of EndMT (fig. 7).
To verify that endothelial cell specific Asf1a knockout was lactating to histoneInfluence, applicants extracted and cultured Apoe from NC-fed or HFD-fed KO Asf1a WT And Apoe KO Asf1a ECKO MAECs in mice. Protein expression levels of Pan Kla, H3K18la and H3K9la were detected by Western Blot. The results are shown in FIG. 8, associated with Apoe KO Asf1a WT From Apoe compared with mice KO Asf1a ECKO The Pan Kla and H3K18la protein expression levels of MAECs of the ECs of mice were significantly increased (fig. 8).
The experimental results suggest that: asf1a is involved in histone H3K18 lactate mediated EndMT, thereby promoting the transition of mouse endothelial cells to the EndMT phenotype.
The experimental results fully prove that the modification of the lactate of the H3K18 dependent on the ASF1A participates in the progress of AS. The ASF1A inhibitor can prevent the generation of H3K18la, and can down regulate the lactic modification of histone H3K18, thus effectively inhibiting the generation and development of AS. Therefore, the ASF1A can be considered AS a new important target for clinically treating AS, and has potential clinical application value in prevention and treatment of AS.
