Description

Application of epidermal growth factor in preparing medicine for treating interstitial cystitis
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of medicines, and particularly relates to application of an epidermal growth factor in preparing a medicine for treating interstitial cystitis.
Background
Interstitial Cystitis (IC) is a chronic bladder disease characterized by inflammation in the pelvic area with recurrent pain and discomfort. Chronic inflammation and epithelial dysfunction are recognized as major causative factors for interstitial cystitis. The urinary epithelium of a normal bladder is static, but can be repaired rapidly when damaged or is affected by poisons. However, when cellular proliferation is not functioning, the damaged urinary epithelium cannot be repaired, eventually leading to increased permeability of the urinary epithelium and an impaired barrier function, followed by a reduced ability to regenerate the urinary epithelium. In the case of interstitial cystitis, increased apoptosis of the urinary epithelium is found, with reduced proliferation of cells, implying a change in the dynamic balance of the urinary bladder epithelium. The treatment regimen for interstitial cystitis has not been standardized. In the guidelines for interstitial cystitis treatment of the American urology and surgery Association (AUA), a six-line algorithm for treating interstitial cystitis is proposed (refer to the guide line of AUA). However, this proposed therapy is directed mainly to symptomatically controlling and removing dysfunctional tissue, and not actively repairing damaged tissue and aiding healthy urinary epithelial regeneration. There is no effective therapy with long-term benefit demonstrated.
In many clinical settings, "high concentration platelet plasma" (PRP) has been widely used in regenerative medicine, including sports medicine, dermatology, orthopedics, and oral surgery. The principle of action is that various growth factors and cytokines involved in the inflammatory response during wound healing and tissue regeneration are released from platelets. A study of the efficacy of intravesical PRP injection for four months in "interstitial cystitis patients without improvement of the condition with conventional therapy" using GRA scale (Global Response Assessment) to evaluate improvement of the overall symptoms of interstitial cystitis therapy indicated that positive results persisted from the first dose injected to three months after the fourth dose of PRP injection; various urinary functional proteins, growth factors, cytokines, and tissue regeneration were evaluated in vivo after PRP injection to evaluate objective evidence (objective evidence). The specific cytokine and protein expression levels are indeed consistent with subjective symptom improvement assessment of the patient.
However, PRP therapy is considered to be controversial at many levels in clinical guidelines and recommendations for the treatment of interstitial cystitis. First, the PRP preparation procedure and dosage used, never been standardized, are dependent on the skill and experience of the practitioner, as well as the equipment. Secondly, there is no way to examine whether PRP injection contains growth factor species known to promote repair and regeneration at every site of application. PRP therapy is therefore not an ideal and effective therapy, and furthermore, the detailed mechanism by which PRP acts on interstitial cystitis is still unclear, based on the characteristics of platelet polypeptides. The standards of the contents of platelets, growth factors and cytokines in PRP never agree, and the content of EGF in the PRP prepared in general is extremely low, so that the economic benefit is low in terms of the practical operation level, and the curative effect cannot be ensured.

Detailed Description
The present application is described in further detail below with reference to the drawings and examples. The specific embodiments described herein are offered by way of illustration only, and not by way of limitation. Embodiments and features of embodiments in this application may be combined with each other without conflict.
The invention provides application of EGF (epidermal growth factor) in treating interstitial cystitis and repairing bladder mucosa. Interstitial cystitis has chronic inflammatory signs, and indeed the pathogenesis is not completely understood. Early research observations have confirmed that: compared with the control group without IC or other patients with bacterial cystitis, the concentration of EGF in urine is obviously improved, and the EGF concentration of the patients who successfully finish treatment is obviously reduced, so that EGF and interstitial cystitis are positively correlated. However, the inventors have found that interstitial cystitis can be treated with EGF. The inventor deduces that the damaged bladder tissue cells of the IC patient have urgent repair requirements, so that the EGF concentration is greatly increased, and therefore, the inflamed damaged bladder cells are reasonably deduced, repair and regeneration are required, the EGF high requirement is caused, and the interstitial cystitis can be effectively treated by directly using the EGF.
Epidermal growth factor (hereinafter, EGF), a small molecule polypeptide consisting of 53 amino acids, was originally found in the submandibular glands of mice and urine of humans, has been intensively studied for decades. EGF is capable of promoting mitosis during cell culture, i.e., inducing DNA synthesis and cell division, while being detectable in almost whole body fluids. EGF acts on the "neural precursor cell line" at very low nanomolar concentrations, demonstrating its proprietary receptor system. Meanwhile, EGF has been shown to promote cell growth and development. And plays an important role in preventing oxidative stress and apoptosis due to blood flow restriction.
The EGF of the present invention is not limited in source, and may be extracted from artificial or natural sources, including but not limited to EGF (oligo-1), HEGF (hEGF, human Oligopeptide-1), recombinant HEEGF (rhEGF, sh-EGF, rh-oligo-1, sh-oligo-1).
Example one
The present invention can improve Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced interstitial cystitis (Interstitial Cystitis) through EGF treatment.
Experimental animals:
female Sprague-Dawley rats (Japan SLC, hamamatsu, japan) weighing 200-300 grams were used for this experiment. The raising environment is maintained at 22-24 deg.c and 50-60% relative humidity, and the light is changed day and night for 12 hr to make the feed and drinking water sufficient at any time. All procedures of this experiment followed the national institutes of health animal care guidelines for use (NIH, bethesda, MD, USA).
Rat experimental model:
a total of 15 rats were assigned to three groups, normal control, pathological control and experimental. First, 16mg/kg of xylazine and 0.04mg/kg of Zoletil are intramuscularly injected TM (zolazepam plus tiletamine). The bladder is exposed by making an operation incision in the lower abdomen, cutting the top of the bladder, placing one end of a medical grade polyethylene tube (PE-50 tube) into the bladder, and truly suturing and sealing the bladder, wherein the other end of the tube passes through the subcutaneous layer of the left abdomen and passes out of the body from the rear neck. Confirm that the drainage of the pipeline is unobstructed and has no liquidAfter leakage at the incision, the tube was sutured fixed, the abdominal wound was closed by suturing, and finally 15mg/kg of cefprozil was given for intramuscular injection to prevent infection. All animals were placed in an incubator until fully awake.
Four days after LPS-induced interstitial cystitis (LPS-induced IC, described in the following paragraph) was performed, and 24-hour urine specimens were collected using metabolic cages before sacrifice, and observed for color and blood content.
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) -induced Interstitial Cystitis (IC) uses LPS to induce interstitial cystitis pattern and EGF treatment:
a line was connected from the top of the bladder, and the external end was fixed to the rat posterior cervical portion for LPS (150. Mu.l) induction of interstitial cystitis. 150 μl LPS was purified by extraction from phenol (1 μg/. Mu.l) (E.coli O55: B5; sigma-Aldrich, st.Louis, MO, USA). LPS was infused twice a week through the line for six times over three weeks, resulting in chronic inflammation of the bladder epithelium, with normal control groups substituting saline for LPS. The experimental group was given 400. Mu.L of a solution containing 2. Mu.g EGF on the day of IC induction (day 0), then on the seventh day (day 7), and on the 14 th day (day 14). Finally the animals were sacrificed on day 21 for further histological examination.
Histological examination:
on day 21 after the first LPS injection, the bladder was fixed with 4% para-formaldehyde after animal sacrifice. The bladder of the normal control group was removed on the seventh day after the first saline infusion. The tissues were cut to a thickness of 5 μm with a cryo-processor and stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H & E). In addition, various corresponding histological examinations were performed with the following staining method, epithelial desquamation (cytokeratin immunostaining), mast cell infiltration (toluidine blue staining), tissue fibrosis (Masson trichromatic staining), apoptosis (in situ end marker staining).
Inflammatory cytokines and oxidative labeling concentration:
bladder tissue was homogenized at day 21 with 100 μl of the rapid cell lysate, incubated at 4deg.C for 30 min, centrifuged at 12,000g for 20 min, total protein was obtained from the supernatant, and protein concentration was measured by BCA protein quantification. TNF-alpha, IL-6, IL-8, and IL-1β were also detected in the bladder tissue homogenates by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The nuclear extract in the supernatant was obtained using NE-PER Nuclear and Cytoplasmic Extraction system.
Statistical analysis:
the data obtained from the experiments were counted and presented as mean.+ -. Standard deviation, and the group differences were further compared by Tukey's HDS test after performing One-Way ANOVA. Statistical software was used with GraphPad Prism eighth edition (GraphPad Software, la Jolla, CA, USA). The statistically significant difference assay p-value was set to 0.05.
Based on the above experimental results, at least the following therapeutic effects can be obtained:
(1) EGF improves the haematuria symptoms and pathological tissue changes of LPS-induced interstitial cystitis
Fig. 1 shows RBC and urine contents between different experimental groups according to the embodiment of the invention, as shown in fig. 1, compared with the case of no EGF (black Bar), the case of the patient's blood urine is less and the urine volume is also reduced by the case of the EGF (gray Bar), so that EGF can reduce red blood cells, improve the blood urine appearance, add treatment effect and reduce the patient's frequent urine level (remark: blood urine detection value p <0.05 p <0.01 p < 0.001).
FIG. 2 is a graph showing the staining results of tissue sections between different experimental groups in the example of the present invention, as shown by the staining results of hematoxylin and eosin (H & E) staining results of FIG. 2, LPS-induced interstitial cystitis tissue sections, normal epithelial tissue structures are not present any more, and EGF treatment helps to return to normal; as shown by Masson trichromatography on the right in fig. 2, bladder tissue was less fibrosed via EGF treatment.
The LPS-induced interstitial cystitis tissues were shown to have abnormal inflammatory cell infiltration and epithelial thickening, and these abnormalities were all observed in the experimental group to be reversed by EGF treatment and returned to normal.
EGF is administered in a group that is more intact and free of rupture of the mucosa against inflammatory cells, alleviating inflammation and avoiding spread. The large area of blue fibrosis induced by LPS results in severe fibrosis symptoms in patients, while EGF is administered to alleviate fibrosis symptoms.
(2) EGF reduces inflammatory cytokines
FIG. 3 is a graph showing the results of the content of inflammatory cytokines among different experimental groups according to the embodiment of the present invention, wherein the inflammatory hormone biomarkers include: expression of TNF- α, IL-6, IL-1β in bladder tissue. Fig. 3 shows, from left to right, EGF treatment to reduce inflammatory cytokine levels, TNF- α, IL-6, and IL-1β, and gene order associated with tissue fibrosis, p <0.05 p <0.01 p <0.001, respectively.
As shown in fig. 3, the normal control group (white Bar) was highest, and outperformed the pathological control group (black Bar) and the experimental group (gray Bar). Through the related inflammation indexes (related factors), the EGF group is given with fewer inflammatory cells and inflammatory biological hormones than the pathological control group, so that the inflammatory symptoms of patients can be obviously reduced and the EGF group can be effectively treated.
(3) EGF has antioxidant effect on LPS-induced interstitial cystitis
FIG. 4 is a graph showing the results of the content of antioxidant biomarkers in bladder tissue homogenates among different experimental groups according to an embodiment of the invention, wherein the detected antioxidant biomarkers in bladder tissue homogenates include: malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), superoxide dismutase (SOD). As shown in fig. 4 oxidative stress biomarkers, EGF can inhibit Malondialdehyde (MDA) production while promoting antioxidant enzymes that are inhibited by interstitial cystitis pathological conditions: peroxidase (GSH-Px), and superoxide dismutase (SOD). In the pathological control group, MDA content is greatly increased in interstitial cystitis condition, while EGF can reduce MDA content in bladder tissue and repair antioxidant enzymes such as: GSH-Px, SOD, decreased activity due to LPS infusion, < p <0.05, < p <0.01, < p <0.001.
The EGF-administered group had less intravesical malondialdehyde (Bladder MDA Level) than the pathological control group and thus had antioxidant capacity. Meanwhile, the concentration of antioxidant substances such as glutathione (Bladder GSH Level) and serum superoxide dismutase (Bladder SOD Level) in the bladder can reach the same value as that in a normal bladder (Sham), so that the bladder tissue has antioxidant capacity and can be effectively treated.
