Definitions
- the present invention relates to a composition for preventing or treating ischemic colitis, the composition containing a DNA fragment mixture isolated from sperm or testis of fish.
- Ischemia is a common disease frequently occurring in the digestive system, and refers to a state in which the supply of blood to body organs, tissues, or sites is reduced due to the contraction or occlusion of blood vessels.
- the reperfusion of blood occurs after ischemia and causes various after effects such as nerve cell damage.
- Ischemia ultimately results in irreversible damage, i.e., necrosis of cells and tissues, and a disease such as ischemic colitis may occur.
- Ischemic colitis is the most common form of vascular disease invading the colon, and accounts for approximately 50-60% of all cases of ischemic gastrointestinal disease (Suh D. C. et al., 2007).
- Moderate ischemic colitis is characterized by nonspecific symptoms, such as abdominal pain and diarrhea, which are often improved before patients visit a hospital, and most patients with main symptoms, such as hemorrhagic diarrhea and abdominal pain, visit a hospital, but such symptoms are often improved by conservative therapy.
- Ischemic colitis occurs mainly in the elderly when the mesenteric artery is occluded by thrombosis or an embolism or when the splanchnic artery is contracted by myocardial infarction or heart failure.
- Ischemic colitis may be caused by mesenteric venous thrombosis, drugs causing blood hyper-coagulation or hypotension, or vasculitis (Reinus J. F. et al., 1981; Hunter G. C. et al., 1988). Ischemic colitis is mainly classified into three types in view of pathology.
- the first is the transient reversible type in which ischemia occurs only in mucosa and submucosa and recovery is possible through conservative treatment alone; the second is the chronic type in which ischemia occurs in inner circular muscles; and the third is the fulminant type in which acute ischemia occurs in the anterior layer (Toursarkissian B et al., 1997; Bower T. C., 1993; Deana D. G. et al., 1995). About half of ischemic colitis cases are a transient reversible type which can be spontaneously cured, so only conservative therapy is sufficient.
- the present inventors while having been advancing studies using a DNA fragment mixture extracted from sperm or testis of fish, confirmed that the DNA fragment mixture inhibits cell necrosis in ischemic colitis rat models, and therefore completed the present invention.
- Korean Patent Registration No. 0818752 as a prior art discloses a composition containing, as an active ingredient, siRNA inhibiting human FAF1 protein for treating ischemic disease, but does not disclose a DNA fragment mixture.
- Korean Patent Publication No. 2003-0001370 discloses that splanchnic ischemia can be treated using a peptide having EGF activity and a growth hormone secretion promoting hexapeptide, but is different from the present invention with respect to the DNA fragment mixture.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a composition for preventing or treating ischemic colitis, the composition containing a DNA fragment mixture isolated from sperm or testis of fish.
- Patients with digestive system diseases are on the rise due to various types of stress and environmental factors resulting from the development of the industrial society. Ischemia is a common disease frequently occurring in the digestive system, and refers to a state in which the supply of blood to body organs, tissues, or sites is reduced due to the contraction or occlusion of blood vessels. The reperfusion of blood occurs after ischemia and causes various after effects such as nerve cell damage. Ischemia ultimately results in irreversible damage, i.e., necrosis of cells and tissues, and a disease such as ischemic colitis may occur.
- Ischemic colitis (IC) is the most common form of vascular disease invading the colon, and accounts for approximately 50-60% of all cases of ischemic gastrointestinal disease (Suh D. C. et al., 2007). Moderate ischemic colitis is characterized by nonspecific symptoms, such as abdominal pain and diarrhea, which are often improved before patients visit a hospital, and most patients with main symptoms, such as hemorrhagic diarrhea and abdominal pain, visit a hospital, but such symptoms are often improved by conservative therapy.
- The most causes of ischemic colitis are difficult to identify, but ischemic colitis occurs mainly in the elderly when the mesenteric artery is occluded by thrombosis or an embolism or when the splanchnic artery is contracted by myocardial infarction or heart failure. Ischemic colitis may be caused by mesenteric venous thrombosis, drugs causing blood hyper-coagulation or hypotension, or vasculitis (Reinus J. F. et al., 1981; Hunter G. C. et al., 1988). Ischemic colitis is mainly classified into three types in view of pathology. The first is the transient reversible type in which ischemia occurs only in mucosa and submucosa and recovery is possible through conservative treatment alone; the second is the chronic type in which ischemia occurs in inner circular muscles; and the third is the fulminant type in which acute ischemia occurs in the anterior layer (Toursarkissian B et al., 1997; Bower T. C., 1993; Deana D. G. et al., 1995). About half of ischemic colitis cases are a transient reversible type which can be spontaneously cured, so only conservative therapy is sufficient. However, the other half may reach necrosis of the enteric full-layer or intestinal perforation, and in these cases, aggressive therapy including the consideration of surgery is needed due to a high mortality rate (Green B. T. et al., 2005; Jung S. H. et al., 2008).

Korean Patent Publication No. 2003-0001370 discloses that splanchnic ischemia can be treated using a peptide having EGF activity and a growth hormone secretion promoting hexapeptide, but is different from the present invention with respect to the DNA fragment mixture.

It was confirmed that the reduction in the temperature of the affected part in the DNA fragment mixture administration groups was also statistically significant at the measurement three weeks after administration of the DNA fragment mixture. - Each rat was anesthetized by intraperitoneal injection of 10 mg/kg of Zoletil 50® 21 days after administration of the DNA fragment mixture, and then the abdomen was opened to expose the ischemic colitis-induced enteric tissue, which was then photographed at the same angle and distance. The results are shown in
FIG. 2 . - As shown in
FIG. 2 , in the ischemic colitis-induced group (B), the necrosis of the colon part was increased and bleeding was observed outside the colon. Whereas in the DNA fragment mixture administration groups (C, D, E, and F), the necrosis due to ischemia was alleviated and thus the colon morphology similar to that of the normal group (A) was maintained. - It can be seen from these results that the administration of the DNA fragment mixture can inhibit or treat the ischemic colitis-induced necrosis of the colon part.
- Tissues were extracted from each rat photographed for colonic tissue in example 5. Of these, some tissues were fixed for 24 hours in a 4% paraformaldehyde fixative dissolved in 100 mM phosphate buffer. Thereafter, the tissues were infiltrated with paraffin through a three-step procedure of dehydration through sequential introduction into 70%, 80%, 90%, and 100% ethanol, immersion in xylene, and then using a liquid for hard paraffin (Leica, USA). The tissue after infiltration was made into blocks in order to prepare sections, and the paraffin tissue was cut into 5 μm thick sections using a paraffin microtome (Shandon Finesse 325, Thermo Electron Co., England). The tissue section was attached on a coating slide, and left in a 37° C. slide oven for 16-18 hours.
- The tissue section prepared in example 6-1 was reacted with Mayer's hematoxyline (Sigma, USA) for 30 seconds, and then washed with flowing water for 10 minutes. Thereafter, the tissue section was reacted with eosin (Sigma, USA) solution for 3 seconds. The tissue on the completion of staining was dehydrated and sealed with Permount® (Fischer Scientific, USA). The H&E stained tissue section was observed using a microscope to check the tissue change, and the results are shown in
FIG. 3 . - As shown in
FIG. 3 , the tissue damage including condensation and clefts in the colonic mucosa was observed in the ischemic colitis-induced group (B) compared with the normal group (A). However, the ischemia-caused condensation and clefts in colonic mucosa were observed to be reduced in the DNA fragment mixture administration groups (C, D, E, F), and the reduction was dependent on the concentration of the DNA fragment mixture administered. - In order to investigate clefts of colonic mucosa due to the administration of a DNA fragment mixture after ischemic colitis induction, the expression of the total collagen fiber was checked. Therefore, Masson's trichrome staining was conducted.
- The tissue embedded in paraffin in example 6-1 was immersed in xylene to remove paraffin, hydrated, and treated with the Bouin's solution (Sigma, USA) for 1 hour. Thereafter, the tissue was washed with Weigner's iron hematoxylin solution (Sigma, USA) for 10 minutes, and washed with Biebrich scarlet-acid fuchsin solution (Sigma, USA) for 2 minutes. The washed tissue was treated with Phosphomolybdic-Phosphotungstic acid solution (Sigma, USA) for 10-15 minutes, treated with aniline blue solution (Sigma, USA) for 5 minutes, treated with the light green solution for 1 minute, treated with acetic solution for 5 minutes, treated with 95% ethanol and xylene, and then sealed with Permount® (Fischer Scientific, USA). The tissue stained with Masson's trichrome was observed using a microscope, and the results are shown in
FIG. 4 . - As shown in
FIG. 4 , the clefts of colonic mucosa due to ischemia were increased in the ischemic colitis induction group (B) compared with the normal group (A), but the clefts of colonic mucosa due to ischemia were reduced in a manner dependent on the concentration of the DNA fragment mixture in the DNA fragment mixture administration groups (C, D, E, and F). - The expression of apoptotic factors in association with cell necrosis due to ischemic colitis was investigated.
- The colonic tissue extracted from each rat photographed for colonic tissue in example 5 was subjected to protection extraction with a lysis buffer, and the resultant product was centrifuged to obtain supernatant. Thereafter, the protein concentration was quantified using the Bio-Rad protein quantifying reagent, thereby obtaining 50 μg of proteins.
- Then, 50 μg of the obtained proteins were subjected to electrophoresis using 10% SDS-PAGE, and then proteins were transferred to the nitrocellulose membrane. The protein-transferred membrane was blocked with 5% skim milk, and then treated with a primary antibody against Bax or Bcl-2 at 4° C. for 16-18 hours. Here, GAPDH antibody was used as a quantitative control. The membrane treated with the primary antibody was washed with TBST solution (Tris-buffered saline with 0.05% tween 20) three times for 10 minutes for each time. A secondary antibody against each primary antibody was added to the washed membrane, followed by reaction at room temperature for 1 hour, and the membrane was again washed with TBST solution three times for 15 minutes for each time. The washed membrane was treated with the enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) solution to check protein bands. The results are shown in
FIG. 5 . - As shown in
FIG. 5 , the expression of apoptotic factor Bax was increased in the ischemic colitis-induced group (B) compared with the normal group (A). The expression of Bax was increased in the DNA fragment mixture administration (2 mg/kg and 4 mg/kg) groups, but the expression of Bax was reduced in a concentration-dependent manner in the DNA fragment mixture administration (8 mg/kg and 16 mg/kg) groups. Whereas, the expression of anti-apoptotic factor Bcl-2 was increased in the DNA fragment mixture administration groups (C, D, E, F) compared with the ischemic colitis induction group (B). - It can be predicted from the above results that the DNA fragment mixture can treat ischemic colitis by inhibiting cell necrosis on the sites of occurrence of ischemic colitis.
