Description
本發明係關於一種融合蛋白、調控式傷口敷料、及融合蛋白用於製備調控式傷口敷料的用途,特別係包含融合蛋白之調控式傷口敷料來提供多重傷口保護並預防細菌感染之用途。The present invention relates to a fusion protein, a regulated wound dressing, and the use of the fusion protein in preparing the regulated wound dressing, in particular to the use of the regulated wound dressing comprising the fusion protein to provide multiple wound protection and prevent bacterial infection.
伴隨著長期使用抗生素,免疫力低下或慢性病患者的傷口感染常出現高風險之抗藥性細菌,造成不可挽救的憾事;此類抗藥性細菌感染可分為一般型細菌感染、潛伏性(細胞內)細菌感染;一般型細菌感染造成傷口潰爛紅腫無法復原,且增加潛伏性細菌感染的風險;在潛伏性細菌感染中,抗藥性細菌可藉由躲藏在免疫細胞內,躲過藥物治療,最後造成菌血症或感染性心內膜炎。With the long-term use of antibiotics, wound infections in patients with low immunity or chronic diseases often present with high-risk drug-resistant bacteria, resulting in irreparable damage; such drug-resistant bacterial infections can be divided into general bacterial infections and latent (intracellular) bacterial infections; general bacterial infections cause wounds to become ulcerated, red and swollen and unable to heal, and increase the risk of latent bacterial infections; in latent bacterial infections, drug-resistant bacteria can hide in immune cells to evade drug treatment, ultimately causing bacteremia or infective endocarditis.
抗菌肽(Antimicrobial peptide, AMP)為長度約小於50個胺基酸的多肽鏈,藉由末端的正價胺基酸,抗菌肽可物理性破壞細菌細胞壁,或藉由胞飲作用進入細菌體內,破壞細菌基因體運作;因其物理特性,是目前克服耐藥性細菌感染的最佳候選藥物之一,可有效抑制環境中的細菌生長;由於抗菌肽屬於自然界可發現之多肽鏈,除可有效抑制細菌生長外,也較無生物毒性;抗菌肽可使用於預防傷口細菌感染,但長期暴露在傷口環境中容易造成抗菌肽降解;此外,傳統抗菌肽無法處理潛伏於細胞自噬體(autophagosome)內的細菌。Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are polypeptide chains with a length of less than 50 amino acids. Through the positive amino acids at the end, AMPs can physically destroy bacterial cell walls, or enter bacteria through endocytosis to disrupt bacterial genome operations. Due to their physical properties, they are currently one of the best candidate drugs for overcoming drug-resistant bacterial infections and can effectively inhibit bacterial growth in the environment. Since AMPs are polypeptide chains that can be found in nature, in addition to being able to effectively inhibit bacterial growth, they are also relatively non-biotoxic. AMPs can be used to prevent bacterial infections in wounds, but long-term exposure to the wound environment can easily cause degradation of AMPs. In addition, traditional AMPs cannot treat bacteria lurking in the autophagosomes of cells.
有鑑於此,本案發明人深刻瞭解前案之不足與缺陷,乃亟思加以改良創新,並經多年研究後,成功研發完成本案之一種融合蛋白、調控式傷口敷料、及融合蛋白用於製備調控式傷口敷料的用途。In view of this, the inventor of the present case deeply understood the deficiencies and defects of the previous case and was eager to improve and innovate it. After years of research, he successfully developed a fusion protein, a regulated wound dressing, and the use of the fusion protein for preparing a regulated wound dressing in the present case.
為達成上述目的,本發明提供一種融合蛋白,包含膠原蛋白與抗菌肽,膠原蛋白與抗菌肽之間包含第一酶切割位,由能夠經由第一酶處理以切割第一酶切割位而使膠原蛋白與抗菌肽分離的方式構成。To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a fusion protein comprising collagen and an antimicrobial peptide, wherein a first enzyme cleavage site is included between the collagen and the antimicrobial peptide, and the fusion protein is constructed in a manner that the collagen and the antimicrobial peptide can be separated by cleaving the first enzyme cleavage site through treatment with a first enzyme.

在本發明的一實施例中,吸收層包含藻酸鹽及殼聚醣。In one embodiment of the present invention, the absorbent layer comprises alginate and chitosan.
在本發明的一實施例中,藻酸鹽及殼聚醣的比例為4:1~1:4。In one embodiment of the present invention, the ratio of alginate to chitosan is 4:1-1:4.

本發明另外提供一種融合蛋白用於製備調控式傷口敷料的用途,其中融合蛋白包含上述之融合蛋白,當調控式傷口敷料接觸傷口時,經由傷口中的酶處理而將抗菌肽釋放於細胞內外以達成抗菌功效。The present invention further provides a fusion protein for use in preparing a regulated wound dressing, wherein the fusion protein comprises the above-mentioned fusion protein. When the regulated wound dressing contacts the wound, the antimicrobial peptide is released inside and outside the cells through enzyme treatment in the wound to achieve an antimicrobial effect.
在本發明的一實施例中,當調控式傷口敷料接觸傷口時,經由自噬體內的酶處理而將抗菌肽釋放於自噬體內以清除潛伏細菌。In one embodiment of the present invention, when the controlled wound dressing contacts the wound, the antimicrobial peptide is released into the autophagosome through enzyme processing in the autophagosome to eliminate latent bacteria.
本發明中,為降低抗菌肽於傷口的降解機會,藉由橋接膠原蛋白與抗菌肽,並在之間插入酶切割位,例如插入凝血酶(Thrombin)作用點,使抗菌肽只在傷口分泌凝血酶時獲得釋放,來調控抗菌肽暴露的時程,並增強抗菌肽的穩定度。In the present invention, in order to reduce the chance of degradation of antimicrobial peptides at wounds, collagen and antimicrobial peptides are bridged and an enzyme cleavage site, such as a thrombin action site, is inserted between them so that the antimicrobial peptides are released only when thrombin is secreted from the wound, thereby regulating the exposure time of the antimicrobial peptides and enhancing the stability of the antimicrobial peptides.
此外,為解決上述潛伏性細菌的問題,使抗菌肽橋接穿透肽(Cell penetrating peptide, CPP),並在抗菌肽與穿透肽橋接處插入酶切割位,例如插入自噬體專有之組織蛋白酶(Cathepsin)切位,調控抗菌肽在自噬體內釋放,清除潛伏細菌。In addition, in order to solve the problem of latent bacteria mentioned above, antimicrobial peptides are bridged with cell penetrating peptides (CPP), and an enzyme cleavage site is inserted at the bridge between the antimicrobial peptide and the penetrating peptide, such as the insertion of the autophagosome-specific cathepsin cleavage site, to regulate the release of antimicrobial peptides in the autophagosome and eliminate latent bacteria.

[融合蛋白] 請參閱圖1,圖1為本發明之一實施例的融合蛋白之示意圖,如圖所示,本發明的融合蛋白包含膠原蛋白1與抗菌肽2,膠原蛋白1與抗菌肽2之間包含第一酶切割位3,由能夠經由第一酶4處理以切割第一酶切割位3而使膠原蛋白1與抗菌肽2分離的方式構成。 [Fusion protein] Please refer to Figure 1, which is a schematic diagram of a fusion protein of an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the fusion protein of the present invention comprises collagen 1 and antimicrobial peptide 2, and a first enzyme cleavage site 3 is included between collagen 1 and antimicrobial peptide 2. The fusion protein is formed in a manner that the first enzyme 4 can be treated to cleave the first enzyme cleavage site 3 to separate collagen 1 and antimicrobial peptide 2.
為了確保抗菌肽2能夠穩定結合在膠原蛋白1,並接受第一酶4的調控,將膠原蛋白1的膠原蛋白結合域(collagen binding domain, CBD)與抗菌肽2進行橋接,並在膠原蛋白結合域與抗菌肽2的中間置入第一酶切割位3,使得抗菌肽2受到第一酶4的調控;在一實施例中,第一酶切割位3可以為凝血酶切割位,第一酶4可以為凝血酶,當融合蛋白與傷口中的凝血酶接觸時,凝血酶會辨識並裂解凝血酶切割位並釋放抗菌肽2,以殺死細胞外和細胞內的細菌;藉由上述的構成,抗菌肽2可以藉由傷口上的凝血酶釋放,縮短暴露時間而延緩衰退。In order to ensure that the antimicrobial peptide 2 can stably bind to the collagen 1 and be regulated by the first enzyme 4, the collagen binding domain (CBD) of the collagen 1 is bridged with the antimicrobial peptide 2, and the first enzyme cleavage site 3 is placed between the collagen binding domain and the antimicrobial peptide 2, so that the antimicrobial peptide 2 is regulated by the first enzyme 4; in one embodiment, the first enzyme cleavage site 3 can be a thrombin cleavage site, and the first enzyme 4 can be thrombin. When the fusion protein contacts the thrombin in the wound, the thrombin will recognize and cleave the thrombin cleavage site and release the antimicrobial peptide 2 to kill extracellular and intracellular bacteria; through the above-mentioned structure, the antimicrobial peptide 2 can be released by the thrombin on the wound, shortening the exposure time and delaying the decline.
本發明的融合蛋白可以是可調控式抗菌肽,其中此類抗菌肽可藉由細胞內外之特定酵素(酶)進行裂解,進而控制抗菌肽穩定度、釋放時機、以及抗菌肽活性;在一實施例中,藉由連結膠原蛋白結合域與抗菌肽,可使抗菌肽附著於膠原蛋白,避免直接暴露於蛋白質降解環境,降低抗菌肽被其他蛋白酶降解之風險,可調節抗菌肽之活性,且同時可增加抗菌肽的附著力。The fusion protein of the present invention can be a controllable antimicrobial peptide, wherein such antimicrobial peptide can be cleaved by specific enzymes inside and outside the cell, thereby controlling the stability, release timing, and activity of the antimicrobial peptide; in one embodiment, by linking the collagen binding domain with the antimicrobial peptide, the antimicrobial peptide can be attached to the collagen to avoid direct exposure to the protein degradation environment, reduce the risk of the antimicrobial peptide being degraded by other proteases, regulate the activity of the antimicrobial peptide, and at the same time increase the adhesion of the antimicrobial peptide.
在一實施例中,膠原蛋白結合域與抗菌肽藉由凝血酶辨認位點連結,可在傷口出血並釋放凝血酶時,藉由凝血酶作用同步釋放抗菌肽;在此實施例中,為了達到凝血酶作用後釋放抗菌肽,且依然保持抗菌肽功能,凝血酶較佳為經過序列選擇以辨認切割位點。In one embodiment, the collagen binding domain is linked to the antimicrobial peptide via a thrombin recognition site, and when the wound bleeds and releases thrombin, the antimicrobial peptide can be released synchronously by the action of thrombin. In this embodiment, in order to release the antimicrobial peptide after the action of thrombin while still maintaining the function of the antimicrobial peptide, thrombin is preferably sequence-selected to recognize the cleavage site.
請參閱圖1及圖2,圖2為本發明之另一實施例的抗菌穿透肽之示意圖與釋放機制,如圖所示,本發明的抗菌肽2可以橋接於穿透肽5;在一實施例中,抗菌肽2與穿透肽5之間包含第二酶切割位6,由能夠經由第二酶7處理以切割第二酶切割位6而使抗菌肽2與穿透肽5分離的方式構成。Please refer to Figures 1 and 2. Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of an antimicrobial penetrating peptide and a release mechanism of another embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the antimicrobial peptide 2 of the present invention can be bridged to the penetrating peptide 5. In one embodiment, a second enzyme cleavage site 6 is included between the antimicrobial peptide 2 and the penetrating peptide 5, and the antimicrobial peptide 2 and the penetrating peptide 5 are separated in a manner that the second enzyme 7 can be treated to cleave the second enzyme cleavage site 6.
為了確保橋接有穿透肽5的抗菌肽2(也稱作抗菌穿透肽)能夠穩定結合在膠原蛋白1,並接受第一酶4的調控,將膠原蛋白1的膠原蛋白結合域(collagen binding domain, CBD)與抗菌穿透肽進行橋接,並在膠原蛋白結合域與抗菌穿透肽的中間置入第一酶切割位3,使得抗菌穿透肽受到第一酶4的調控。In order to ensure that the antimicrobial peptide 2 (also called antimicrobial penetrating peptide) bridged with the penetrating peptide 5 can stably bind to collagen 1 and be regulated by the first enzyme 4, the collagen binding domain (CBD) of collagen 1 is bridged with the antimicrobial penetrating peptide, and the first enzyme cleavage site 3 is placed between the collagen binding domain and the antimicrobial penetrating peptide, so that the antimicrobial penetrating peptide is regulated by the first enzyme 4.
為了確保抗菌穿透肽進入細胞後,抗菌肽2可以確實被穿透肽5釋放以執行功能,在此實施例中,為了使抗菌肽2釋放於自噬體內,第二酶切割位6可以為自噬體專有之酶切割位,例如可以為組織蛋白酶切割位,第二酶7可以為組織蛋白酶;請參考圖2的釋放機制,當抗菌穿透肽進入細胞後,細胞內的組織蛋白酶會辨識並裂解組織蛋白酶切割位以釋放抗菌肽2,以殺死細胞內(自噬體內)的細菌;藉由上述的構成,抗菌穿透肽進入細胞後可以藉由細胞內的組織蛋白酶來釋放抗菌肽2,並藉由調控抗菌肽2在自噬體內釋放以清除潛伏細菌。In order to ensure that the antimicrobial peptide 2 can be released by the penetrating peptide 5 to perform its function after the antimicrobial penetrating peptide enters the cell, in this embodiment, in order to release the antimicrobial peptide 2 in the autophagosome, the second enzyme cleavage site 6 can be an enzyme cleavage site exclusive to the autophagosome, for example, it can be a tissue protease cleavage site, and the second enzyme 7 can be a tissue protease; please refer to the release mechanism of Figure 2. When the antimicrobial penetrating peptide enters the cell, the tissue protease in the cell will recognize and cleave the tissue protease cleavage site to release the antimicrobial peptide 2 to kill the bacteria in the cell (in the autophagosome); through the above-mentioned structure, the antimicrobial penetrating peptide can release the antimicrobial peptide 2 through the tissue protease in the cell after entering the cell, and the release of the antimicrobial peptide 2 in the autophagosome is regulated to eliminate latent bacteria.
本發明的融合蛋白可以是可調控式抗菌穿透肽,其中此類抗菌穿透肽可藉由細胞內外之特定酵素(酶)進行裂解,進而控制抗菌穿透肽穩定度、釋放時機、以及抗菌穿透肽活性;上述關於抗菌肽的技術特徵與優點也同樣適用於抗菌穿透肽,在此不多加贅述,以下說明抗菌穿透肽其他的技術特徵與優點。The fusion protein of the present invention can be a controllable antimicrobial penetrating peptide, wherein such antimicrobial penetrating peptide can be cleaved by specific enzymes inside and outside the cell, thereby controlling the stability, release timing, and activity of the antimicrobial penetrating peptide; the above-mentioned technical features and advantages of antimicrobial peptides are also applicable to antimicrobial penetrating peptides, which will not be elaborated here.

[表1]
實驗3:驗證抗菌肽不具細胞毒性Experiment 3: Verify that antimicrobial peptides are not cytotoxic
根據ISO-10993的安全標準,溶血性應低於2%,且細胞活力的降低不應超過30%。According to the safety standard of ISO-10993, hemolysis should be less than 2% and the reduction of cell viability should not exceed 30%.

為了製備用於細胞穿透能力檢測的TAT(穿透肽)-eGFP及eGFP蛋白質,本實驗將目標基因轉殖進pET15b質體,之後轉形(transformation)進入 E.coli的BL21菌株,並經由IPTG誘導該基因的表現,最後進行FPLC以純化eGFP及TAT-eGFP蛋白,並透過SDS-PAGE和考馬斯藍染色法(coomassie blue staining)確認目標蛋白是否成功表現。 In order to prepare TAT (penetrating peptide)-eGFP and eGFP proteins for cell penetration test, the target gene was cloned into pET15b plasmid and then transformed into E. coli BL21 strain. The expression of the gene was induced by IPTG. Finally, FPLC was performed to purify eGFP and TAT-eGFP proteins. SDS-PAGE and Coomassie blue staining were used to confirm whether the target protein was successfully expressed.

在本發明的另一實施例中,融合蛋白中的抗菌肽橋接於穿透肽,製備出抗菌穿透肽;為驗證穿透肽之穿透能力,本實驗將穿透肽橋接綠螢光蛋白(GFP),藉由共培養巨噬細胞細胞株(U937)與橋接有GFP的穿透肽,以方便觀察穿透肽之穿透狀況;。In another embodiment of the present invention, the antimicrobial peptide in the fusion protein is bridged to the penetrating peptide to prepare the antimicrobial penetrating peptide. To verify the penetrating ability of the penetrating peptide, the penetrating peptide is bridged to green fluorescent protein (GFP) in this experiment, and the penetrating peptide is co-cultured with a macrophage cell line (U937) and the penetrating peptide bridged with GFP to facilitate observation of the penetration of the penetrating peptide.
請參考圖9,圖9為本發明之一實施例的穿透肽細胞穿透能力檢測結果,如圖所示,本實驗結果明顯觀察到GFP進入巨噬細胞細胞株U937,確定穿透肽之穿透能力。Please refer to FIG. 9 , which is a result of testing the cell penetration ability of the penetrating peptide according to one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the experimental results clearly observed that GFP entered the macrophage cell line U937, confirming the penetration ability of the penetrating peptide.
實驗6:驗證細胞內分離機制Experiment 6: Verification of intracellular separation mechanism
由於細菌可藉由抑制機制,潛伏在細胞的溶酶體(lysosome)內,進一步潛伏於吞噬體或自噬體內;本發明的抗菌穿透肽可藉由胞飲作用進入細胞到達溶酶體(或吞噬體、自噬體)以對抗潛伏的細菌;本實驗使抗菌肽與穿透肽之間包含溶酶體特有的組織蛋白酶S(Cathepsin S)的切割位,由能夠經由組織蛋白酶S處理以切割組織蛋白酶S切割位而使抗菌肽與穿透肽分離的方式構成,並釋放抗菌肽以進行殺菌。Since bacteria can lurk in the lysosome of the cell and further lurk in the phagosome or autophagosome through an inhibitory mechanism, the antimicrobial penetrating peptide of the present invention can enter the cell through endocytosis and reach the lysosome (or phagosome, autophagosome) to fight against the latent bacteria. In this experiment, the antimicrobial peptide and the penetrating peptide contain a cleavage site of cathepsin S, which is unique to lysosomes, and are constructed in a manner that can be treated with cathepsin S to cleave the cathepsin S cleavage site to separate the antimicrobial peptide and the penetrating peptide, and release the antimicrobial peptide to kill bacteria.
為了驗證本實驗設計的組織蛋白酶S切割位是有效的,透過分子對接以研究組織蛋白酶S的偏好,請參考下表2,由於其結合親和力主要受到切割位P2位置的胺基酸影響;本實驗系統地更改P2-P1-P1’三肽中的P2胺基酸,並使用AutoDock評估其對組織蛋白酶S活性口袋的親和力。In order to verify that the cathepsin S cleavage site designed in this experiment is effective, molecular docking was used to study the preference of cathepsin S. Please refer to Table 2 below. Since its binding affinity is mainly affected by the amino acid at the P2 position of the cleavage site; this experiment systematically changed the P2 amino acid in the P2-P1-P1' tripeptide and used AutoDock to evaluate its affinity for the cathepsin S active pocket.
[表2]
請參考圖10,圖10為本發明之一實施例的組織蛋白酶S與三肽對接的結果,如圖所示,藍色為三肽LGG、粉色為三肽VGG,組織蛋白酶S根據表面疏水性著色(紅色表示最疏水,藍色表示最親水),從上述結果可知,當P2位置的胺基酸是疏水性時,其構像十分相似且位於目標結合位點,說明本實驗設計的切割位點是合理的。Please refer to Figure 10, which is the result of the docking of cathepsin S and the tripeptide according to one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, blue is the tripeptide LGG and pink is the tripeptide VGG. Cathepsin S is colored according to the surface hydrophobicity (red indicates the most hydrophobic and blue indicates the most hydrophilic). From the above results, it can be seen that when the amino acid at the P2 position is hydrophobic, its conformation is very similar and is located at the target binding site, indicating that the cleavage site designed in this experiment is reasonable.
實驗7;測試吸收層最佳比例Experiment 7: Testing the optimal ratio of the absorption layer
本發明的一實施例提供一種調控式傷口敷料,包含聚胺甲酸酯層、吸收層、以及膠原蛋白層;其中吸收層可以是由藻酸鹽(alginic acid, ALG)與殼聚醣(chitosan, CHI)離子交聯形成的複合材料,為了瞭解吸收層組合的最佳比例,本實驗使用1%藻酸鹽溶液及1%殼聚醣溶液,並以不同比例製備調控式傷口敷料並測試其溶脹率,其結果請參考下表3。One embodiment of the present invention provides a controlled wound dressing, comprising a polyurethane layer, an absorbent layer, and a collagen layer; wherein the absorbent layer may be a composite material formed by ion crosslinking of alginate (ALG) and chitosan (CHI). In order to understand the optimal ratio of the absorbent layer combination, this experiment used 1% alginate solution and 1% chitosan solution, and prepared controlled wound dressings with different ratios and tested their swelling rates. The results are shown in Table 3 below.
[表3] 吸收層溶脹率測試結果
從上表可知,當藻酸鹽和殼聚醣比例為1:3時,可達到最佳的吸收能力,且具有自身重量的19倍吸收能力。From the table above, we can see that when the ratio of alginate to chitosan is 1:3, the best absorption capacity can be achieved, and it has an absorption capacity of 19 times its own weight.
綜合以上結果,本發明的融合蛋白包含膠原蛋白、抗菌肽與第一酶切割位,並可以進一步包含穿透肽與第二酶切割位,藉由連結膠原蛋白結合域與抗菌肽(或抗菌穿透肽),可使抗菌肽、抗菌穿透肽附著於膠原蛋白,避免直接暴露於蛋白質降解環境,降低被其他蛋白酶降解之風險,可調節抗菌肽、抗菌穿透肽之活性,且同時可增加抗菌肽、抗菌穿透肽的附著力,可以清除細胞內外的細菌及自噬體內的潛伏細菌,提供多重傷口保護並預防細菌感染。In summary of the above results, the fusion protein of the present invention comprises collagen, antimicrobial peptide and a first enzyme cleavage site, and may further comprise a penetrating peptide and a second enzyme cleavage site. By linking the collagen binding domain with the antimicrobial peptide (or antimicrobial penetrating peptide), the antimicrobial peptide and antimicrobial penetrating peptide can be attached to the collagen, thereby avoiding direct exposure to the protein degradation environment, reducing the risk of being degraded by other proteases, regulating the activity of the antimicrobial peptide and antimicrobial penetrating peptide, and at the same time increasing the adhesion of the antimicrobial peptide and antimicrobial penetrating peptide, thereby clearing bacteria inside and outside the cell and latent bacteria in the autophagosome, providing multiple wound protection and preventing bacterial infection.
