Abstract

The invention provides an application of a medicine for removing IgG/IgM antibodies or B cells. The present invention has found that ectopic aggregation of antibodies on muscle fibers plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of duchenne muscular dystrophy. By drug clearance of IgG antibodies or B cells, aggregation of antibodies is reduced and muscle fibers can gradually transition from a chronic injury state to a healing promoting state. By constructing an animal model, the method for eliminating the IgG antibody or the B cell medicine can effectively reduce the muscle injury, inflammation and fibrosis level of the Du's muscular dystrophy mouse, improve the muscle strength and have no obvious side effect. Therefore, targeting B cells and antibody aggregation by scavenging antibodies or B cell drugs can be used as a novel approach to the treatment of untreated DMD.

Description

Application of medicine for removing IgG/IgM antibody or B cell
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of treatment of genetic diseases caused by muscular dystrophy protein mutation, and provides an antibody or B cell medicament for effectively treating or relieving Du's muscular dystrophy without obvious side effects for the first time.
Background
The genetic disease caused by muscular dystrophy protein mutation is a recessive muscular dystrophy associated with X, including duchenne muscular dystrophy (Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, DMD) and becker muscular dystrophy (Becker Muscular Dystrophy, BMD). Thus, the patient is generally male, DMD has a incidence rate of about 1/3500-1/5000 in boys, women are mostly carriers, the incidence rate is rare (1/45000-1/100000), and symptoms are light. Du's muscular dystrophy is due to a mutation in the DMD gene resulting in a deletion of the encoded protein Dystrophin. Patients begin to develop disease about 2-3 years of age, with muscle injury necrosis gradually aggravating as age increases, and the symptoms are mainly represented by continuous degradation of muscle fibers and significant increase of Creatine Kinase (CK) level, and weakness of proximal lower limbs. Generally, patients can not walk independently about 10 years old, need to rely on walking sticks and wheelchairs, and most patients can suffer from spinal curvature, respiratory muscle weakness, dilated cardiomyopathy and the like, and finally die from heart-lung failure about 30-40 years old.
Currently, exon skipping strategies and gene replacement therapies are considered to be the most promising treatment strategies for duchenne muscular dystrophy, but currently there are still major limitations such as: corticosteroid therapy is the only treatment currently available for all types of duchenne muscular dystrophy patients, but has limited efficacy and significant side effects; stop codon readthrough therapies currently lack effective clinical evidence; the efficiency of clinically inducing exon skipping in duchenne muscular dystrophy patients by antisense nucleotides remains relatively low and only for patients with mutations in the hot spot region; strategies to induce exon skipping in duchenne muscular dystrophy patients by gene editing currently have no clinically successful cases (one clinical treatment case, but the patient has died). Gene replacement therapy can successfully induce the generation of artificially designed truncated Dystrophin protein clinically at present, but whether the generated truncated Dystrophin protein has functions or not is still to be further studied, and in addition, the generated truncated Dystrophin protein can possibly cause self body fluid or cell immune response and the like. Thus, existing treatment regimens are optimized, further understanding of the pathogenesis of duchenne muscular dystrophy, and developing new effective and safe therapies for duchenne muscular dystrophy, which are critical to the treatment of duchenne muscular dystrophy.
B cells, also known as B lymphocytes, are differentiated from hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow. B cells play an important role in the immune system, and morphological function abnormalities of B cells can cause a variety of diseases, such as B cell tumors, autoimmune diseases, multiple sclerosis, and the like. B cells differentiate into plasma cells upon antigen stimulation, which further produce and secrete antibodies. Antibodies perform humoral immunity primarily by neutralizing toxins and preventing pathogen invasion, activating complement to produce an tapping complex that lyses and destroys cells, opsonophagocytosis, and antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC). Antibodies play an important role in a number of clinical diagnostic, prophylactic and therapeutic procedures. B cell removal therapies are effective in transiently removing B cells and reducing antibody production by B cells, thereby ameliorating the disease processes caused by B cell morphological dysfunction, and are now widely used in clinical therapies. However, the therapeutic effect of antibody or B cell-clearing drugs in duchenne muscular dystrophy has not been reported yet.
Disclosure of Invention
The present invention aims to develop new effective and safe duchenne muscular dystrophy treatment strategies by further understanding the pathogenesis of duchenne muscular dystrophy. The present invention has found that ectopic aggregation of antibodies on muscle fibers plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of duchenne muscular dystrophy. By reducing aggregation of antibodies by scavenging antibodies or B cell drugs, muscle fibers can gradually transition from a chronic injury state to a state that promotes healing. And the phenomenon and the therapeutic effect of the drug are effectively verified in a DMD mouse model.
The technical scheme adopted by the invention is as follows:
the application of a medicine for eliminating IgG/IgM antibodies or B cells is used for preparing medicines for treating or delaying genetic diseases caused by muscular dystrophy protein mutation. The medicine for removing IgG/IgM antibody or B cell specifically refers to a medicine for removing IgG antibody, a medicine for removing IgM antibody, a medicine for removing B cell, or a medicine for simultaneously removing two or more of IgG antibody, igM antibody and B cell.
The IgG/IgM antibody or B cell removal drug reduces accumulation of the IgG/IgM antibody in the muscle of a patient through the antibody or B cell removal, reduces infiltration of M1 type macrophages, and improves the rate of M2 type macrophages so as to gradually convert myofibers from a chronic injury state to a healing promotion state.
The genetic diseases caused by the muscular dystrophy protein mutation comprise Du muscular dystrophy and Becky muscular dystrophy with various mutation types.
The IgG/IgM antibody or B cell eliminating medicine is injection.
The IgG/IgM antibody or B cell eliminating medicine is anti-CD20, anti-CD19 CART, anti-FcRn, fcgamma RI inhibitor or BTK inhibitor, etc.

Example 1: in vivo experiments in mice demonstrated that significant improvement in disease progression in B cell and antibody knockout DMD mice for Du's muscular dystrophy occurred
DMD mice Dmd were obtained at 2 and 8 weeks of age E4* And tibialis anterior myomembrane of Mdx mice, respectively, were stained with IgG and IgM immunofluorescence, and found to have significant aggregation of immunoglobulins on the surface of the myomembrane of DMD mice at 2 and 8 weeks of age compared to WT mice (as in fig. 1a,1 b). Likewise, obtaining muscle membranes from Du's Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) and Becky's Muscular Dystrophy (BMD) patients for immunofluorescent staining of IgG and IgM, respectively, the same phenomenon was observed in muscle sample sections of DMD and BMD clinical patients, namely: compared to control patients (fig. 2A), DMD and BMD clinical patients had significant aggregation of immunoglobulins on the surface of the muscle cell membrane. Furthermore, by giving Dmd of 1 week of age E4* Delta B mice (B cell deficient DMD mice) were continuously intraperitoneally injected with WT mice IgG (15 mg/kg, administered for 6 weeks, twice weekly) and found to bind to WT mice IgGIs combined with Dmd E4* The surface of Δb mouse muscle cell membrane (see fig. 1C). These results indicate that non-anti-autoantibodies can bind to the surface of the muscle cell membrane of duchenne muscular dystrophy mice.
Dmd by Western blot detection E4* Whether there is immunoglobulin residue in the Δb muscle. The abdominal cavity was filled with 2.5% Avertin 300-500. Mu.l, and 10ml 1 XPBS was used by syringe for heart perfusion. A proper amount of skeletal muscle tissue was cut by surgical scissors, RIPA lysate (150 mM NaCl,1% NP-40,2mM EDTA,50mM Tris pH 7.4,0.1% SDS) was added, and the tissue was homogenized. Standing at 4deg.C for 30min, and shaking once for 5min. Centrifuge 4 ℃,14000rpm, centrifuge 30min. Taking the supernatant, adding a certain volume of 6 XSDS loading dye, uniformly mixing, and denaturing at 95 ℃ for 10min. Subsequently, the mixture was allowed to stand at 4℃to conduct SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis. Transferring film, sealing skimmed milk, and developing ECL chemiluminescent solution. Western blotting showed Dmd compared to WT mice E4* There was a significant enrichment of immunoglobulins (including IgG and IgM) in the muscle, dmd E4* Immunoglobulin could not be detected in the Δb muscle (fig. 3A).
The tension of the mice forelimb muscles was measured by a mouse muscle tensile tester and the maximum force reading was recorded, 10 times at 10 second intervals. The residual tension experimental result shows that Dmd with the age of 8 weeks E4* Δb,12 month age Dmd E4* Δb and mdxΔb, compared to control group Dmd, which was 8 weeks old E4* Dmd of 12 months of age E4* And Mdx mice showed significant improvement in muscle function (fig. 3b,4c,5 a).
The creatine kinase content in the mouse serum was quantified by the CREATINE KINASE-SL ASSAY (326-10, sekisui) kit. Firstly, carrying out gradient dilution on a standard substance for drawing standard curves, simultaneously adding the standard substance and a sample to be tested into a prepared creatine kinase detection reaction liquid (CK-SL Buffer Reagent (R1) and CK-SL Substrate Reagent (R2) are uniformly mixed according to a ratio of 4:1), reacting for 5-10 minutes at room temperature, detecting the absorbance of the standard substance and the sample to be tested under the absorbance of 340nm by using an enzyme-labeling instrument, drawing a standard curve, and measuring the creatine kinase content of the sample to be tested. The creatine kinase content measurement experiment result shows that Dmd with the age of 8 weeks E4* Δb,12 month age Dmd E4* Δb and mdxΔb, compared to control group Dmd, which was 8 weeks old E4* Dmd of 12 months of age E4* And the creatine kinase content in Mdx serum was significantly reduced (fig. 3c,4b,5 b).
Mice of 8 weeks or 12 months of age were intraperitoneally injected with 2.5% Avertin300 μl-500 μl, fixed by tape after the mice were anesthetized, and placed in a Micro CT machine for photography. Subsequently, 3D reconstruction was performed on the multiple photographs taken using analytical software from bruke SkyScan 1276Micro CT to obtain complete bone images of the mice. Wherein, the calculation of the humpback coefficient means that a line (A1) is drawn between the trailing edge (C7) of the last cervical vertebra and the trailing edge of the sixth lumbar vertebra (L6). Another line (A2) is drawn perpendicular to the dorsal margin of the vertebrae at the point of maximum curvature. The humpback coefficient is calculated as A1/A2. The results of Micro CT show that: dmd of 8 weeks of age E4* Δb,12 month age Dmd E4* Δb, compared to control group Dmd of 8 weeks of age E4* Dmd of 12 months of age E4* The degree of curvature of the dorsal bone is significantly improved (see fig. 3d,3e,4 e).
The muscle tissue of the mice with the age of 8 weeks or 12 months is obtained, then is added into 10 percent neutral formalin for fixation, dehydrated and sliced after paraffin embedding. Subsequently, paraffin sections were subjected to hematoxylin-eosin staining and masson staining, and the degree of newly generated myocytes (central nuclear myocytes) (see fig. 3f,5 c) and fibrosis (see fig. 4d,5 d) in the mouse muscle tissue were observed. Hematoxylin-eosin staining statistics indicated that the ratio of tibialis anterior and rectus femoris central nuclear muscle cells was significantly reduced in DMD mice with B cell knockdown at 8 weeks of age, more closely to WT groups (fig. 3f,5 c) than in DMD mice. The masson staining statistics showed that the rate of fibrotic changes in the anterior tibial, rectus femoris and diaphragmatic muscles was significantly reduced in the 12 month old B cell knockout DMD mice compared to DMD mice (fig. 4d,5 d).
After the 12 month old mice were dehaired with the dehairing paste, the mice were placed in an anesthesia induction box for anesthesia. The anesthetized mice were fixed in a supine position on a cardiac superoperator's station while the mouth and nose of the mice were plugged into an anesthetic mask at a anesthetic flow rate of 0.8L/min at a concentration of about 1% -1.5% to maintain the anesthetized state of the mice. Ultrasound imaging platform acquisition using Vevo 3100 small animalsThe electrocardiogram of the mice was collected and B-model, M-model data was saved. Using the LV Trace tool, in M-model mode, 3 cardiac cycles are continuously traced along the left ventricular anterior wall endocardial tracing. The same procedure was followed to trace the left ventricular posterior wall, followed by 3 cardiac cycles. Thereafter, the LV Trace automatically generates a left heart ejection fraction, left ventricular short axis shortening rate (see FIG. 4F). Results of cardiac ultrasound showed Dmd with 12 month old B cell knockdown E4* Mice are compared with Dmd E4* The mice, left heart ejection fraction and left ventricular short axis shortening rate were significantly improved, closer to WT group.
In conclusion, the invention achieves the purpose of delaying the disease process of different DMD mice models by knocking out the B cells and the antibodies of the DMD mice.
Example 2: the knockout of Fcgamma can effectively reduce the accumulated IgG on the surface of the muscle cell membrane of the Du's muscular dystrophy mice
By combining Protein A/G beads with Dmd E4* Incubation of mouse muscle lysate (negative control Dmd) E4* Δb and WT Δb mice), 4 degrees incubation for 3 hours, enrichment Dmd E4* IgG and IgG complexes in the mouse muscle lysate were blotted off the supernatant and washed 5 times with wash buffer for 5min each time. Then adding loading buffer, boiling at 95 deg.C for 10min, and preserving sample at-80 deg.C. By subjecting the above to mass spectrometry, the results of the mass spectrometry showed that, compared with the negative control group, at Dmd E4* In the group, protein A/G bead binds to immunoglobulins and complement proteins in a large number of muscles. Furthermore, fcgamm and Trim21 at Dmd E4* Are significantly enriched in the group (as in figure 6A). Further immunofluorescence experiments showed that Mdx and Dmd compared to WT mice E4* The expression of fcyri was detected on both mouse muscle cell membrane surfaces (see fig. 6B). RNAscope experiments showed that FcgRI mRNA probe signals could be detected in the muscle cells of the DMD mice, indicating the presence of FcgRI transcripts in the muscle cells of the DMD mice (FIG. 6C). Furthermore, dmd by constructing Fc common gamma chain knockout E4* (Fcer1g -/- Dmd E4* ) Mice, muscle tissue was taken for immunofluorescence experiments, and as a result, found: fcer1g -/- Dmd E4* Skeletal muscle cell surface of mice is freeThe method detects fcyri expression and significantly reduces IgG binding (see fig. 6D). The results show that the expression of the FcgammaRI exists in the muscle cells of the DMD mice, and the knockout of the FcgammaRI can effectively reduce the accumulated IgG on the surface of the muscle cell membrane of the Dunaliella muscular dystrophy mice.
Further study results showed that hematoxylin-eosin staining of 6-7 week old mouse muscle tissue was performed to observe newly generated myocytes (central nuclear myocytes) in mouse muscle tissue (as shown in FIG. 7A), fcer1g -/- Dmd E4* Mice are compared with Dmd E4* The rate of central nucleated muscle cells was significantly reduced in mice. Furthermore, fcer1g -/- Dmd E4* Mice are compared with Dmd E4* The creatine kinase content in the serum of mice was significantly reduced (fig. 7B), and the muscle function was significantly improved (fig. 7C).
In conclusion, the invention can effectively reduce the combination of IgG on the muscle cell surface of the DMD mouse by knocking out the FcgammaRI of the DMD mouse, thereby achieving the purpose of delaying the disease process of the DMD mouse model.

Anti-CD20 antibody (2 mg/kg) was intraperitoneally injected into DMD mice of 1 week old, wherein DMD mice of 1 week old were intraperitoneally injected with IgG (2 mg/kg) as a control, 1 time per week, and were continuously administered for 8 weeks (see FIGS. 8A, 10A). After 4 weeks of administration, mice were bled by submaxillary vein, 50 μl of peripheral blood was collected in EP tubes containing EDTA solution for detecting B cells in peripheral blood, and the remainder was used for collecting serum. Centrifugation at 1500rpm for 5 minutes, discarding the supernatant, adding 200. Mu.l of erythrocyte lysate, blowing and mixing well, and standing for 5 minutes. Then 1ml PBS stopped cracking red, 1500rpm centrifugal 5min, collect cell precipitation. 50 μl live/dead fix violet kit (thermo, L34964) was added and dissolved in PBS at a volume ratio of 1:1000 and incubated at 4deg.C for 30 minutes in the absence of light; add 50. Mu.l of anti-CD16/CD32 (2.4G2,BD Pharmingen) in a 1:400 volume ratio in a starting buffer (PBS+1% FBS+1mM EDTA) and block for 10min at 4deg.C; mu.l of a stabilizing buffer (1:200 volume ratio) containing the corresponding surface antibodies anti-mouse CD45-APC/Cyanine7 (30-F11, biolegend,103115 and anti-mouse CD19-FITC (1D 3/CD19, biolegend, 152403) was added, protected from light at 4 ℃Incubate for 30min. The starting buffer was washed twice and 200. Mu.l of the stained starting buffer was resuspended and then run on-machine. It was found by CD45 and CD19 staining that during the administration of DMD mice intraperitoneally injected with Anti-CD20 antibody, the ratio of B cells to immune cells was almost 0, and gradually recovered after withdrawal, and the B cell ratio was recovered to normal level 2-4 weeks after withdrawal (see FIG. 8B). Experimental results of simultaneous Western blot detection show that Dmd is 1 week old E4* Mice were intraperitoneally injected with Anti-CD20 antibody for 4 weeks, compared to Dmd E4* The immunoglobulin content in the mouse muscle was significantly reduced (see fig. 8C).
In addition, the experimental results of both DMD mouse models show that creatine kinase content in serum is continuously reduced in Anti-CD20 group compared to Ctrl IgG group (fig. 8d,10 b), and the levels are kept lower for a longer period of time after drug withdrawal. And a significant improvement in muscle function occurs (as in fig. 8e,10 c). The results of Micro CT show that: the extent of dorsal bone bending was still significantly improved in Anti-CD20 mice compared to Ctrl IgG mice 8 months after withdrawal (fig. 8F). Compared with Ctrl IgG group Dmd E4* Mice, anti-CD20 group Dmd E4* The survival time of mice was also significantly prolonged (see FIG. 8G). Further Marsonian staining showed that compared to Ctrl IgG group Dmd E4* Mice, anti-CD20 group Dmd E4* The rate of fibrosis was significantly reduced in the rat rectus and diaphragmatic muscles (figure 9A). Results of cardiac ultrasound showed that, 8 months after drug withdrawal, the Anti-CD20 group mice had significantly improved left heart ejection fraction and left ventricular short axis shortening rate compared to Ctrl IgG group mice, more closely to WT group (fig. 9B).
To further reveal the reason for the sustained therapeutic effect of Anti-CD20 antibodies, the present invention utilized Percoll (GE Healthcare) density gradient centrifugation to isolate Anti-CD20 and Ctrl IgG Dmd groups 10 weeks after drug withdrawal E4* Immune cells in mouse muscle tissue were compared as follows: euthanized mice, the muscle tissue of the upper and lower limbs of the mice were removed and placed in pre-chilled PBS buffer, the muscle was minced by surgical scissors, and the tissue digest (containing 1640 medium, 1% FBS,10mM HEPES,1mM MgCl) 2 ,1mM CaCl 2 0.1mg/ml Dnase I, collagenase II:1 mg/ml) for 30min at 37 ℃. Grinding with 100 μm pore size cell screen, centrifuging at 1500rpm at 4deg.C for 10min, re-suspending with 5mL 40vol%Percoll solution, transferring onto 70vol% Percoll solution, and performing density gradient centrifugation at 600×g at 22deg.C for 30min at a speed of 2 and deceleration of 0. And (3) centrifuging, taking the middle white cloud layer cells, washing twice by using precooled PBS, counting cells, staining by using a flow antibody, and detecting on the machine. The results of flow staining indicate that Anti-CD20 antibodies can continuously reduce the number of immune cells infiltrating the muscle of DMD mice model, mainly reducing M1 type macrophages infiltration, while increasing the rate of M2 type macrophages in the muscle, resulting in a sustained therapeutic effect (fig. 9c,9 d).
In conclusion, the Anti-CD20 antibody is injected into the abdominal cavity of the DMD mouse at the age of 1 week to reduce the level of immunoglobulin in the muscle of the DMD mouse, reduce the infiltration of M1 type macrophages and improve the ratio of M2 type macrophages in the muscle, so that a sustainable treatment effect is generated, the disease characteristics of the DMD mouse are improved, and the effect of delaying the disease process of a DMD mouse model is achieved.
Example 4: adult mice can effectively relieve disease process of DMD by eliminating and knocking out B cells through Anti-CD20 antibody
Dmd of 8 weeks of age E4* Mice were intraperitoneally injected with Anti-CD20 antibody (2 mg/kg), dmd at 8 weeks of age E4* Mice were given IgG (2 mg/kg) intraperitoneally as a control, 1 time per week, for 8 weeks (see fig. 11A). The peripheral blood of the mouse was collected by the submaxillary vein, and the flow type result showed that the ratio of B cells in the peripheral blood to immune cells was almost 0 as in the case of the intraperitoneal injection of Anti-CD20 antibody to the young mouse, and gradually recovered after stopping the drug, and the ratio of B cells recovered to the normal level 2-4 weeks after stopping the drug (see FIG. 11B). Further, further experimental results showed that Dmd, which was 8 weeks old E4* The creatine kinase content in serum was continuously decreased (fig. 11C) and maintained at a lower level for a longer period of time after discontinuation of the drug administration in mice when the Anti-CD20 antibody was intraperitoneally administered compared to Ctrl IgG group for about 6-8 weeks. The muscle function was significantly improved in the Anti-CD20 group compared to Ctrl IgG group (fig. 11D). The results show that the removal of the knocked-out B cells by the Anti-CD20 antibody can effectively relieve adult smallDMD disease progression in mice.
