Background
Heart failure is the ultimate outcome and leading cause of death for most cardiovascular diseases, and has high disability and mortality, which has become one of the global major public health problems. With the increasing aging of population, the prevalence rate and hospitalization rate of heart failure are continuously rising, and the search for effective treatment means of heart failure is still an important point and a difficult problem of world public health.
Myocardial contractility refers to an inherent property of myocardial fibers that changes its contraction strength and velocity independent of preload and afterload. At a constant heart rate, the greater the myocardial contractility, i.e., the greater the intensity of contraction, the faster the contraction rate, the greater the stroke volume, and vice versa. The heart failure causes a decrease in myocardial contractility, and imbalance in myocardial cell calcium homeostasis is an important mechanism. Traditional inotropic drugs increase myocardial contractility by increasing the concentration of calcium ions in myocardial cells, but often cause malignant arrhythmia and even increase mortality, so searching for drugs capable of effectively improving heart contractility and clinical symptoms of heart failure patients and reducing hospitalization rate and occurrence rate of adverse events gradually becomes a hot spot of clinical research.
Spexin active polypeptide is a novel endogenous bioactive peptide hormone, and researches prove that the Spexin active polypeptide plays a key role in physiological function regulation of organism pain sense, appetite, defecation, glycolipid metabolism, water-salt balance, anti-inflammatory and the like. However, whether Spexin active polypeptide is involved in myocardial contractility regulation has not been reported.

The process equipment or apparatus not specifically noted in the following examples are all conventional equipment or apparatus in the art, and the raw materials and the like used in the examples of the present invention are commercially available unless otherwise specified; unless specifically indicated, the technical means used in the embodiments of the present invention are conventional means well known to those skilled in the art.
Example 1
This example examined the effect of Spexin-active polypeptides on mouse cardiomyocyte contractions.
The specific method for incubating cardiomyocytes with the Spexin active polypeptide comprises the following steps:
1. adult mouse cardiomyocyte isolation: adult C57BL/6 mice were anesthetized after intraperitoneal injection of heparin 0.1m (l 50 mg/ml), hearts were rapidly isolated, placed in a pre-chilled calcium-containing desktop fluid at 4 ℃, aortic roots were suspended and connected to Langendorff perfusion apparatus, perfused at 37℃with a calcium-free perfusate, and a calcium-free desktop fluid containing BSA (0.75 mg/ml) and type II collagenase (1 mg/ml) was added. Removing heart, cutting off ventricular part, and collecting CaCl 2 (200. Mu.M) and BSA (1%) were gently sheared and gently blown in a calcium bench-top solution, and the filtrate was filtered through a filter screen, the cardiomyocyte suspension.
2. Myocardial cell contractility assay: a small amount of cell suspension is sucked and placed in a cell perfusion groove, and perfusion is carried out by using an oxygen-containing calcium desk type liquid, and electric field stimulation with constant frequency and constant voltage of 1Hz is given to myocardial cells. Changes in myocardial cell sarcomere length, i.e., changes in length upon individual cardiomyocytes dilating and contracting, are recorded and measured.
3. Cardiomyocyte calcium transient assay: cardiomyocytes were incubated with Fluo-3 and rinsed 3 times with calcium desk top solution. A small amount of the cell suspension was withdrawn and placed in a cell perfusion cell, and electric field stimulation was given at a constant frequency of 1 Hz. The fluorescence intensity of the cells reflects the change condition of the calcium in the myocardial cells, and the amplitude of the calcium transient of the myocardial cells is calculated.
4. Myocardial cell resting calcium assay: the cardiomyocytes stained with Fluo-3 were washed with a calcium-free bench top solution and assayed for resting calcium using a confocal microscope. Image J counted the fluorescence value of individual cardiomyocytes, which represents the intracellular calcium content.
Spexin incubation concentration: and incubating the cardiomyocytes in the cell perfusion tank with 10, 100 and 1000nM Spexin active polypeptide, and detecting the contractility and calcium transient amplitude of the cardiomyocytes before and after incubation with the Spexin active polypeptide, respectively, wherein the number of the detected cardiomyocytes is not less than 15.
FIG. 1 is a graph comparing the rate of reduction of myocardial cell sarcomere in mice before and after incubation with different concentrations of Spexin active polypeptide; FIG. 2 is a representation of mouse cardiomyocyte contraction before and after incubation of a Spexin active polypeptide; as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the sarcomere shortening of cardiomyocytes incubated with Spexin-active polypeptide was significantly increased over that before incubation, while further studies have found that Spexin-active polypeptides 10, 100 and 1000nM were able to increase the sarcomere shortening of cardiomyocytes and were dose-dependent. This suggests that the Spexin active polypeptide is capable of enhancing cardiomyocyte contractility.
FIG. 3 is a graph showing comparison of the magnitude of calcium transients in mice cardiomyocytes before and after incubation with Spexin-active polypeptide; FIG. 4 is a graph showing comparison of the calcium transient time profiles of mouse cardiomyocytes before and after incubation of Spexin active polypeptide; as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, cardiomyocytes were incubated in a perfusion cell with 1000nM of Spexin-active polypeptide, and changes in the fluorescence intensity in the cells before and after incubation of Spexin-active polypeptide were observed, indicating changes in intracellular calcium content. The results showed that after incubation of cardiomyocytes with Spexin-active polypeptide, intracellular Ca 2+ The maximum value of the change was significantly increased over that before incubation. It can be seen that incubation of the Spexin active polypeptide increased the mouse cardiomyocyte calcium transient, suggesting that the Spexin active polypeptide can enhance cardiomyocyte contractility by increasing the calcium transient in the cardiomyocytes.

The Sham group was identical to the TAC group except for the ligation step.
Mice were divided into Sham, heart failure and Spexin active polypeptide treatment groups, labeled Sham, TAC and tac+spx, respectively. Each group of mice was given an intraperitoneal injection of 0.1ml of physiological saline or Spexin, at a dose of 70 μg/kg per day, for 8 weeks on model and treatment, starting on the day of surgery.
The individual groups of mouse cardiomyocytes were isolated and each group was tested for calcium transients and resting calcium levels, as in example 1.
FIG. 5 is a graph comparing the amplitude of calcium transients in cardiomyocytes for each group of mice; FIG. 6 is a graph comparing the calcium transient time profiles of cardiomyocytes in mice of each group; as shown in fig. 5 and 6, the TAC group mice had a reduced magnitude of calcium transients compared to Sham group, and the tac+spx group mice had a significantly increased magnitude of calcium transients compared to TAC group.
FIG. 7 is a graph showing the comparison of time constants of calcium decline in myocardial cells of mice in each group; as shown in fig. 7, the time course of calcium decline in the myocardial cells of mice in the TAC group was prolonged compared to Sham group, and the time course of calcium decline in the myocardial cells of mice in the tac+spx group was significantly reduced compared to TAC group.
