Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a composition for prevention or treatment of tobacco poisoning, comprising a carboxyl terminal-derived motif of mGluR1a,

The present invention relates to a composition for inhibiting the binding between mGluR1a and JNK1 (c-Jun N-terminal kinase 1) comprising a motif derived from the carboxyl terminal of mGluR1a (metabotropic glutamate receptor 1a), a composition for preventing or treating tobacco poisoning, And a screening method for preventing or treating an addiction.

Tobacco is the most commonly abused addictive product with alcohol. The number of deaths due to tobacco is around 5 million worldwide, and the World Health Organization (WHO) expects the number to double nearly by 2025-2030. Smoking also has a life-threatening impact on the world, equivalent to 10% of adult deaths. For this reason, WHO prescribes tobacco as a drug. In particular, nicotine, a component of tobacco, has a strong dependency, such as heroin or cocaine, so that people who are addicted to tobacco are classified as medically addicted drug addicts.

As a result of studies on the risk of smoking, many people are attempting to quit smoking, and treatment methods for smoking cessation have increased, but it is known that smoking cessation in the long term is less than 10%. The main reason for the failure to quit smoking, despite the fact that smoking is harmful to health, is due to the strong dependence of nicotine-containing tobacco components, which is primarily due to tolerance and withdrawal symptoms.

The smoke contained in the cigarette smoke and smoke contained toxic, mutagenic, and carcinogenic substances. As mentioned above, tobacco poisoning is a threat to the public health so that it is classified as a disease even in the international disease classification. According to the WHO International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), tobacco contains 62 carcinogens, among which 15 carcinogens have been identified for carcinogenicity in humans. It is known that 30% of the causes of cancer, the number one cause of death in Korea, are due to smoking. Therefore, the cost of treatment for diseases caused by smoking and the loss of productivity are caused.

To assess nicotine dependence among tobacco components, smoking habits, Fagerstrom test for nicotine dependence, blood nicotine measurement, reason for smoking, and assessment of associated mental disorders are used. In particular, the Nicotine Dependency Assessment in the quit smoking clinic uses the Fagerstrom Test. However, considering the neurochemical changes occurring at the cerebral reward center, there are limitations in evaluating the dependence of nicotine by self-diagnosis through 6 questionnaires. Therefore, development of a neurochemical evaluation method that can evaluate the dependence of nicotine-containing tobacco product components is required.

The dependence on tobacco components is generally similar to the pattern of drug addiction. The normal person's emotions are controlled by maintaining a 'hedonic state' (negative hedonic state: euphoria) such as pleasure and a negative hedonic state (dysphoria) such as anxiety. Such homeostasis of emotion is closely related to changes in dopamine and glutamate concentrations. Craving for a drug starts with a '-' state in which dopamine concentration decreases over time, which is known to increase glutamate. Thus, dependence can be defined as a neurochemical phenomenon formed by changes in dopamine and glutamate secretion in the cerebral compensation center.

Like other addictive drugs, nicotine also causes tolerance and withdrawal with pleasure-reward behavior. Nicotine dependence and reinforcement of addiction by smoking are closely related to the same mesolimbic dopamine pathway that is activated by the addictive drug. Dopaminergic neurons in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) are located in the ascending and descending order of the caudate-putamen (CP), the nucleus accubens (NAc), the prefrontal cortex (PFC), and the amygdala AMG) secretes dopamine. Nicotine, which enters the body through smoking, passes through the brain-blood barrier and affects dopamine secretion in this pathway.

As receptors involved in nicotine poisoning, homologous α7 nicotinic aceticholine receptors (nAChRs) and heterogeneous α4β2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (heteromeric α4β2 nAChRs) are known. The a7 and a4beta2 receptors are predominantly present at the end of the glutamate and GABA neurons of the striatum, respectively. Smoking temporarily releases glutamate and GABA neurotransmitters, but by continuous smoking, the secretion of glutamate neurotransmitters increases and the secretion of GABA is reduced in the ventral scalp. This increases the activity of dopaminergic neurons in the dorsal root ganglia and increases the dopamine secretion at the dopaminergic neuron terminals, resulting in a greater pleasure from smoking. In addition, since the increase of dopamine secretion increases the glutamate secretion through the basal ganglia circuit, the dependence on smoking is formed by the increase of dopamine and glutamate secretion in cerebral compensator.

On the other hand, JNK (c-Jun N- terminal kinase) , is activated as a kinase which is activated by the stress through the stress Ca 2 + signal transmission system by an external stimulus, such as smoking, free radicals, UV light. Activated JNK is known to play an important role in life events such as cell growth, differentiation and death by regulating the phosphorylation of c-Jun, ATF2, and Elk-1, which are the sub-proteins of the signal transduction system. Tobacco dependence and mGluR There is no known association.

As described above, the dependence of tobacco is related to neurochemical changes such as the release of dopamine and glutamate, which are major neurotransmitters, centering on cerebral compensation centers, and various posttranslational modifications (PTM) Is a major cause, so there is a limit to controlling dependence at the same gene level as existing microarrays. Therefore, a new method to control the dependence of tobacco components should be developed to reduce the harmful effects of smoking.

Accordingly, the present inventors have continued research on substances capable of controlling tobacco dependence, and as a result, they have identified the mechanism of phosphorylation of metabotropic glutamate receptors, and confirmed that they can control tobacco dependency through this, thereby completing the present invention.

However, the following examples and preparative examples are merely illustrative of the present invention, and the content of the present invention is not limited to the following examples and preparative examples.

Example 1: Identification of the region of mGluR1a phosphorylated by JNK1

mGluR1a has three intracellular loops (IL) and one long carboxyl terminal (C-terminus, CT). The carboxyl terminus was divided into CT1 and CT2 and mGluR1a was divided into five regions (mGluR1a-IL1, mGluR1a-IL2, mGluR1a-IL3, mGluR1a-CT1 and mGluR1a-CT2) and phosphorylated by JNK1 for each region .

Specifically, for the production of GST-fusion protein, mouse cDNA corresponding to five regions as shown in Fig. 1 was cloned into pGEX4T-1 (Amersham) plasmid, and each plasmid was inserted into E. coli BL21, , And the GST-fusion protein was extracted and purified.

Phosphorylation was measured by in vitro kinase assay for each purified GST-fusion protein. The fusion protein GST- reaction buffer [25 mM MOPS, 12.5 mM β-glycerol-phosphate, 25 mM MgCl 2, 5 mM EGTA, 2 mM EDTA, 0.25 mM DTT, 2 mM ATP, 2.5 Ci / tube [g- 32 P ] ATP (3000 Ci / mmol)], followed by reaction at 37 占 폚 for 30 minutes. Lithium dodecylsulfate was added and the mixture was heated for 5 minutes to stop the phosphorylation reaction, and Western blotting was performed using an antibody specifically recognizing JNK1. At this time, c-Jun, a substrate of JNK1, was used as a positive control, and the result is shown in Fig.

As shown in Fig. 2, it was confirmed that the phosphorylation by JNK1 was specific to the mGluR1a-CT2 region.

Additional experiments were conducted to clarify these results. First, the in vitro kinase assay confirmed the phosphorylation in the mGluR1a-CT2 region when the inactive JNK1 or active JNK1 was treated, and the results are shown in FIG.

As shown in Fig. 3, mGluR1a-CT2 region was not phosphorylated when inactive JNK1 was treated, while mGluR1a-CT2 region was phosphorylated when active JNK1 was treated. Therefore, mGluR1a is phosphorylated by JNK1.

Secondly, phosphorylation of mGluR1a-CT2 region was confirmed by the presence or absence of [? 32 P] ATP in the presence of JNK1, and the results are shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 4, it was confirmed that JNK1-induced phosphorylation of mGluR1a-CT2 region specifically occurred by hydrolysis of ATP only when [? 32 P] ATP was present.

Thirdly, in the presence of JNK1, phosphorylation of the mGluR1a-CT2 region was confirmed in the presence or absence of CIP (calf intestinal alkaline phosphatase) or [? 32 P] ATP, which is known as phosphatase releasing phosphate group, Respectively.

As shown in Fig. 5, since the phosphate group fell off during the CIP treatment, it was confirmed that the reaction between JNK1 and mGluR1a was a phosphorylation reaction.

As a result of synthesizing the results shown in Figs. 2 to 5, phosphorylation was induced by JNK1 in the CT2 region of mGluR1a, and this phosphorylation was confirmed to be specific to [? 32 P] ATP.

Example 2: Identification of the detail region of mGluR1a phosphorylated by JNK1

A total of eight potential phosphorylation regions were screened using www.scansite.mit.edu (Obenauer et al, 2003) to pinpoint which regions of the mGluR1a-CT2 region were phosphorylated by JNK1. As shown in Fig. 6, serine / threonine, which is predicted to be phosphorylated based on the cDNA of the corresponding region, was replaced with alanine (Site-directed mutagenesis) for the selected eight potential phosphorylation regions. Then, codon optimization was performed to induce optimal protein expression in E. coli BL21. After confirming that it was substituted with alanine by DNA sequencing, the cDNA fragment was cloned into pGEX4T-1 vector using BamHI and EcoRI restriction enzymes to obtain GST - fusion proteins were prepared (M1 to M5).

FIG. 7 shows the result of phosphoamino acids analysis of the GST-fusion protein. As shown in FIG. 7, it was confirmed that phosphorylation occurred in serine in the amino acid sequence existing in the mGluR1a-CT2 region.

The result of in vitro kinase assay using the GST-fusion protein is shown in FIG. 8. As shown in FIG. 8, the serine 1098 in mGluR1a-CT2 (S in the region 2 of the potential phosphorylation region in FIG. 6) And phosphorylated by < RTI ID = 0.0 >

Example 3: Identification of mGluR1a binding to JNK1

First, in vitro binding assay was performed to confirm whether JNK1 binds to mGluR1a.

Specifically, JNK1 (active or inactive form) and 5 GST-fusion proteins were added to binding buffer (200 mM NaCl, 0.2% Triton X-100, 0.1 mg / ml BSA, 50 mM Tris , And reacted for 2 to 3 hours at 4 ° C. Then, the GST-fusion protein complex was precipitated using 10% Glutathione-Sepharose beads and Western blotting was carried out using an antibody specifically recognizing JNK1. 9.

As shown in Fig. 9, it was confirmed that the non-active JNK1 did not bind to mGluR1a, and JNK1 was able to bind mGluR1a-CT1 and mGluR1a-CT2 among the five regions of mGluR1a and strongly binds to mGluR1a-CT2 region .

Example 4: Identification of the detailed region of mGluR1a binding to JNK1

According to the contents confirmed in Example 3, detailed regions binding to JNK1 in mGluR1a-CT1 and mGluR1a-CT2 regions were confirmed. Specifically, the mGluR1a-CT1 region is divided into three regions (mGluR1a-CT1a, mGluR1a-CT1c and mGluR1a-CT1c), and mGluR1a-CT2 region is divided into three regions (mGluR1a-CT2a, GST-fusion protein was prepared for each region as shown in Fig.

The in vitro binding assay of the prepared GST fusion protein was carried out as in Example 3 above, and the results are shown in FIG. As shown in Fig. 11, it was confirmed that JNK1 binds to the mGluR1a-CT1a region and the mGluR1a-CT2a and mGluR1a-CT2c regions.

Through the above Examples 1 to 3, it was confirmed that JNK1 binds to mGluR1a and regulates phosphorylation of mGluR1a. At this time, it was confirmed that the region where JNK1 binds to mGluR1a and the region where mGluR1a phosphorylates are different from each other.

Example 5: Identification of motif sequences of mGluR1a essential for JNK1-mGluR1a binding

In order to identify motifs essential for JNK1 binding in the mGluR1a-CT1a and mGluR1a-CT2c domains as detailed in Example 4 above, binding inhibitory peptides including D-motif (Zhou et al., 2006) (P1, P2) were synthesized and shown in FIG.

The result of pretreatment of the synthesized binding inhibition peptide and in vitro binding assay is shown in FIG.

As shown in Fig. 13, it was confirmed that binding of JNK1 to mGluR1a-CT2 was reduced when P2 peptide in the peptide (P1) for JNK1 and mGluR1a-CT1a and the peptide (P2) for mGluR1a-CT2c was treated.

Therefore, it was confirmed that the peptide containing mGluR1a motif essential for JNK1-mGluR1a binding is P2, which is a peptide for mGluR1a-CT2c, and it can be seen that the peptide interferes with binding of mGluR1a and JNK1.

Example 6: Determination of the effect of mGluR1a phosphorylation on helical activity on JNK1-mGluR1a binding in striatum

The effect of the binding-inhibiting peptide of JNK1-mGluR1a identified in Example 5 above was confirmed in the mouse. Specifically, a transactivator of transcription (YGRKKRRQRRR) derived from an HIV virus that facilitates cell permeability was fused to the N-terminus of the binding-inhibiting peptide containing the motif (YASVILRDYKQSS) in mGluR1a-CT2 identified in Example 5 A cell-penetrating peptide was prepared and is shown in Fig.

FIG. 15 shows an experimental design for quantitatively analyzing the repulsive activity, which is a dependency index of the tobacco component using the peptide shown in FIG. 14, and the experiment was conducted accordingly.

Specifically, 2 nmol / 2 μl of the binding-inhibiting peptide shown in FIG. 14 was injected into mouse striatum, and then the experiment was conducted with two international tobacco products (product tobacco A and B) distributed to the international standard tobacco (3R4F) . Each of the tobacco extracts was repeatedly administered to the peptide-injected mice, and tracking with X-ray, Y-axis, and Z-axis beam breaking using the Opto-Varimex 4 Auto Track System (Columbus instrument, 35 x 29 x 10 cm) Activity was measured. The results are shown in Fig.

As shown in FIG. 16, it was confirmed that the peptide injected with the peptide of the present invention showed a significant decrease in walkability compared to the control group.

That is, the JNK1-mGluR1a binding-inhibiting peptide of the present invention inhibits binding of JNK1 to mGluR1a, thereby regulating phosphorylation of mGluR1a, and reduces repetitive administration of the tobacco extract to increase the mouse's repulsive activity It can be used as a preventive or therapeutic method for inhibiting tobacco dependence.
