Definitions
- the present invention relates to a substance delivery carrier that targets extracellular matrix-producing cells in the kidney, a composition for treating renal fibrosis and a method for treating renal fibrosis using the same.
- the kidney is an important organ for maintaining the homeostasis of the internal environment by excretion of waste products and regulation of body fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base balance.
- the kidney controls the concentration of various compounds in the blood, such as hydrogen, sodium, potassium and silicon, and excretes waste products in the form of urine. Any decrease in renal function can interfere with the body's ability to sufficiently remove metabolites from the blood and can disrupt the body's electrolyte balance. Reduction or failure of kidney function can be fatal in its most severe form.
- the kidney has functions such as cellular immunity, endocrine function, and metabolism.
- the kidney as an endocrine organ produces 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D3, which is an active vitamin D3, and erythropoietin that regulates red blood cell production, renin and erythropoietin, which are blood pressure regulators, kinin, kallikrein, and prostaglandins.
- renin and erythropoietin which are blood pressure regulators, kinin, kallikrein, and prostaglandins.
- Chronic renal failure is a state in which these renal functions have gradually declined irreversibly, making it impossible to maintain homeostasis.
- Chronic renal failure is known to be caused by diabetic nephropathy, chronic glomerulonephritis, malignant nephrosclerosis, polycystic kidney disease, and the like. All kidney diseases are accompanied by renal fibrosis and eventually lead to end stage renal failure. In particular, since chronic decrease in renal function is deeply related to the progression of renal fibrosis, inhibition of fibrosis progression is thought to lead to suppression of progression of chronic renal failure.
- renal fibrosis is caused by an inflammatory reaction resulting from endothelial cell damage, and finally fibrosis caused by an excessively produced extracellular matrix.
- glomerular endothelial cells are damaged, cytokines such as chemokines and growth factors are secreted, and monocytes and macrophages migrate to promote an inflammatory reaction.
- cytokines such as chemokines and growth factors
- monocytes and macrophages migrate to promote an inflammatory reaction.
- activation, proliferation, and transformation of mesangial cells occur, and an excessive amount of extracellular matrix is produced from extracellular matrix-producing cells such as mesangial cells, and fibrosis occurs, leading to glomerulosclerosis.
- diabetic nephropathy is the biggest cause of chronic renal failure and is one of the serious complications of diabetes.
- the characteristic of diabetic nephropathy is the growth and expansion of glomerular mesangium, which is mainly due to increased accumulation of ECM proteins such as type I and type IV collagen, fibronectin, and laminin.
- uremic disease occurs if treatment such as dialysis is not performed.
- treatment methods for chronic renal failure dietary therapy such as a low protein diet and salt restriction, and administration of an antihypertensive agent to prevent the glomerulus from being loaded are first performed.
- angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor antagonists are used to suppress the progression of renal failure.
- these are thought to have a renoprotective effect on their own.
- the glomerular blood pressure is lowered too much, the glomerular blood flow will be reduced and prerenal renal failure will occur, which requires careful administration.
- angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors examples include captolyl, enalapril, delapril, imidapril, quinapril, temocapril, perindopril erbumine, and lisinopril.
- Angiotensin II receptor antagonists include losartan, valsartan, candesartan cilexetil, olmisartan, olmisartan, Medoxomil and irbesartan.
- cremedin is used as an adsorbed charcoal that adsorbs harmful substances in the intestines in order to improve the symptoms of uremia and delay the introduction of dialysis.
- calcium polystyrene sulfonate is used as an ion exchange resin that adsorbs potassium in the intestine and excretes it together with feces.
- an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor an AT1 angiotensin II receptor antagonist, an aldosterone antagonist, a drug that acts on the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system such as a renin inhibitor, an endothelin receptor antagonist, an ⁇ blocker, a ⁇ Blocking agents, immunosuppressive agents, extracellular matrix metabolism inhibitors, complement system inhibitors, chemokine inhibitors, phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors and other drugs that act on the nitric oxide system, NF ⁇ B inhibitors, Rho inhibitors, p38 MAPK inhibitors , PI3K ⁇ inhibitor, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor, kallikrein, relaxin, interleukin 1 receptor antagonist, bone morphogenetic factor 7 (BMP-7), anti-tumor necrosis factor ⁇ antibody (Anti-TNF ⁇ antibody

- a method for producing a pharmaceutical composition comprising a step of incorporating a retinoid as a targeting agent to extracellular matrix-producing cells in the kidney and a drug that controls the activity or proliferation of extracellular matrix-producing cells in the kidney as an active ingredient.
- retinoids are targeted to extracellular matrix-producing cells in the kidney such as fibroblasts and myofibroblasts. It is considered that an anti-renal fibrosis effect is exerted by delivering an active ingredient such as a drug that controls the activity or proliferation of extracellular matrix-producing cells in the kidney to the same cell. Therefore, since the active ingredient can be efficiently delivered to the site of action and further to the target cell by the carrier of the present invention, it is possible to cure or suppress the progression of renal fibrosis, particularly diabetic nephritis, which has been difficult to treat until now.
- the carrier of the present invention can be combined with an arbitrary drug (for example, an existing therapeutic drug for renal fibrosis) to increase its action efficiency, it has a wide range of pharmaceutical applications and can produce an effective therapeutic agent. There is also an advantage that it can be performed easily.

例1 siRNA含有VA結合リポソームの作製
siRNAとして、以下の配列を有するものを用いた。
配列名:Hsp47-C
5'-GGACAGGCCUGUACAACUA-dTdT-3'(センス、配列番号1)
5'-UAGUUGUACAGGCCUGUCC-dTdT-3'(アンチセンス、配列番号2)
(1)腎線維症モデル動物の作製
腎線維症モデルマウスを株式会社ステリック再生医科学研究所に依頼して作製した。具体的には、出生後2日齢のC57BL6J/JcLマウス雄(日本クレア社)にN-アセチル-β-D-グルコサミニダーゼ阻害剤を与え、4週齢まで飼料CE-2(日本クレア社製)および滅菌水を与えて飼育し、満4週齢で離乳後、粗脂肪含量が通常食よりも高いHigh Fat Diet32(日本クレア社)および滅菌水を与え、12週齢まで飼育し、STAMマウスを作製した。本モデルマウスは、糖尿病性腎炎を発症することが知られており(特開2009-178143参照)、糖尿病性腎炎による腎線維症を観察することができる。
上記モデルマウスを、12週3日齢時に10匹ずつ以下の4群に振り分けた。
(第1群)No treatment-STAM マウス、処置前対照群(以下、 NT-STAM (Pre) 群)
(第2群)No treatment-STAM マウス群(以下、 NT-STAM群)
(第3群)5%グルコース投与群(以下、Vehicle群)
(第4群)VA Liposome-siRNA Hsp47C投与群(以下、VL-Hsp47C群)
NT-STAM (Pre)群については、群分け後の治療開始前にマウスを安楽死させ、病態確認を行った。NT-STAM群を除く上記2群に対し、対応する以下の投与液を、12週5日齢時から1日おきに合計10回の尾静脈注射による投与を行った。
(第3群)溶媒対照として、ヌクレアーゼフリー水 0.75ml/kg体重と5%グルコース(大塚製薬株式会社)3.250ml/kg体重とを混合した投与液(5%グルコースまたはVehicle)を用いた。
(第4群)投与液100μlあたり、VAを75nmol、リポソーム構成脂質を75nmol、siRNAを112.5μgとなるよう混合し、5%グルコースで最終調整を行った投与液(VA Liposome-siRNA Hsp47CまたはVL-Hsp47C)を用いた。
各投与液は、投与開始日の体重を基準体重とし、投与日の体重変化率が基準体重の20%以内の場合、4ml/kg体重を尾静脈より投与した。20%を超えた場合は、以降その体重を新たな基準体重として投与量を再設定した。
最終投与終了後2日目(15週4日齢時)にジエチルエーテル麻酔下で心臓より採血し、マウスを安楽死させてから腎臓を摘出した。
摘出した腎臓は、4%パラホルムアルデヒド-リン酸緩衝液にて固定後、パラフィン包埋して薄切標本を作製した。腎線維症に対する治療効果を検討するため、シリウス・レッド染色(コラーゲンを特異的に赤染する線維染色)を行い、オールインワン蛍光顕微鏡BZ-9000(株式会社キーエンス)を用いて、80倍にて撮影した。解析は、腎皮質領域から無作為に20視野を撮影して、BZ-9000付属の解析ソフトを用いて定量化した。
以上の結果から、VL-Hsp47C投与群において線維化の改善傾向が認められた。siRNAが基本的に細胞質内で作用することを考慮すれば、この結果は、レチノイドが腎における細胞外マトリックス産生細胞への標的化剤として機能し、同細胞に効率的に薬物を送達することにより、腎線維症の進行を抑制できることを示すものである。
(1)細胞の分離・回収
肝星細胞に類似した性状を示す腎における細胞外マトリックス産生細胞を、以下のようにして分離・回収した。
まず、事前に以下の5種の溶液の調製を行った。すべての溶液は4℃にて保存した。
・EGTA液:HBSS (Invitrogen 14170)500mlに対し、HEPES1.19gと EGTA0.1gを加え混合した。
・0.02% Collagenase液:HBSS (Invitrogen 24020)500mlに対し、 HEPES1.19g、CaCl2 2H2O 0.235gとCollagenase(Yakult YK-102) 0.1gを加え混合した。
・0.02% Collagenase+0.1% Protease 液:0.02% Collagenase 40mlに対し、Protease(Sigma P6911-1G)40mgを加え混合した。
・Hanks液:HBSS (Invitrogen 24020)500mlに対し、MgSO40.05gを加え混合した。
・10% Nycodenz(R)液(Axis-Shield Prod. No 1114542-1):蒸留水500mlに対し、50g Nycodenz(R)を加え混合溶解した。
1.siRNA含有VA結合liposomeの作製
siRNAとして、以下の配列を有するものを用いた。
配列名:Hsp47-C
5'-GGACAGGCCUGUACAACUA-dTdT-3'(センス、配列番号1)
5'-UAGUUGUACAGGCCUGUCC-dTdT-3'(アンチセンス、配列番号2)
事前に実験用の細胞として、上述の回収方法にてマウス腎臓より回収した細胞外マトリックス産生細胞を、細胞数0.2×105個/ウェルにて6ウェルプレートに播種し、2日間、37℃、10% FBS DMEMにて培養した。
培養2日後、トランスフェクション前に各ウェルの10% FBS DMEMをすべて取り除き、900μlのフレッシュな10% FBS DMEMを加え、15分程度37℃で培養した。
以上の結果は、例2で用いたHSP47遺伝子に対するsiRNAが、腎の細胞外マトリックス産生細胞においてHSP47遺伝子の発現を抑制することを示すものであり、本発明の治療剤に含まれるsiRNAが、腎の細胞外マトリックス産生細胞特異的に取り込まれ、同細胞内で標的遺伝子の発現を抑制することによって、腎線維症の進行の抑制をもたらしたことを示唆するものである。
