Description

ヒートショックプロテイン発現誘導剤Heat shock protein expression inducer
 本発明は、医薬品として有用な熱ショックタンパク質(ヒートショックプロテイン)の発現誘導剤に関する。 The present invention relates to an expression inducer of heat shock protein (heat shock protein) useful as a pharmaceutical product.
 細胞、組織あるいは固体においては、一般的な生理的温度より3℃以上高い温度に晒されたときに、生体の防御システムの一つとして、特異的タンパク質の発現(産生)が誘導されることが知られている。
 このタンパク質は、SDS-PAGE(ドデシル硫酸ナトリウム-ポリアクリルアミドゲル電気泳動法)によって測定した場合、分子量範囲10~110KDaを有する一群のタンパク質として存在しており、熱ショックタンパク質(ヒートショックプロテイン:heat shock proteins、以下、「HSP」と称する場合もある)と呼ばれている。
In cells, tissues, or solids, expression (production) of specific proteins is induced as one of the defense systems of living bodies when exposed to a temperature of 3 ° C. or higher than a general physiological temperature. Are known.
This protein exists as a group of proteins having a molecular weight range of 10 to 110 KDa as measured by SDS-PAGE (sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis), and is a heat shock protein (heat shock protein: heat shock protein). proteins, hereinafter referred to as “HSP”).
 HSPは、その分子量の相違により幾つかのファミリーが形成されており、例えば、HSP90ファミリー(分子量:90kDa以上110kDa以下)、HSP70ファミリー(分子量:70kDa以上80kDa未満)、HSP60ファミリー(分子量:60kDa以上70kDa未満)、及び低分子量HSPファミリー(分子量:60kDa未満)のように分類されている。 HSP has several families due to the difference in molecular weight. For example, HSP90 family (molecular weight: 90 kDa to 110 kDa), HSP70 family (molecular weight: 70 kDa to less than 80 kDa), HSP60 family (molecular weight: 60 kDa to 70 kDa). Less), and the low molecular weight HSP family (molecular weight: less than 60 kDa).
 HSPの機能は多岐にわたっており、例えば、HSP70及びHSP60ファミリーは、変性タンパク質に結合して、天然のフォールディング(高次構造・折り畳み構造)に巻き戻す作用や、第三のタンパク質や核酸との会合、細胞内での局在化や膜透過への関与など、いわゆる分子シャペロンと呼ばれる機能を担っていることが明らかにされている(非特許文献1及び2)。
 なお、分子シャペロンとは、ポリペプチド鎖の合成に引き続くフォールディングや酵素の不可逆的な熱変性の抑制に関与している一連の蛋白質をさす。
The functions of HSP are diverse. For example, the HSP70 and HSP60 families bind to denatured proteins and unwind them to natural folding (higher-order structure / folded structure), and are associated with third proteins and nucleic acids. It has been clarified that it has functions called so-called molecular chaperones, such as intracellular localization and involvement in membrane permeation (Non-patent Documents 1 and 2).
The molecular chaperone refers to a series of proteins involved in the inhibition of folding following the synthesis of a polypeptide chain and irreversible thermal denaturation of the enzyme.
 このHSP発現の誘導(産生)を利用した療法の一つとして、癌温熱免疫療法がある。すなわち、全身を加温することによりHSPの生成を誘導し、全身の免疫機能を活発にするのと同時に、がん細胞と正常細胞の識別能力を向上させ、副作用が無く、癌細胞のみを死滅させる治療法である。 One of the therapies using this induction (production) of HSP expression is cancer thermoimmunotherapy. In other words, heating the whole body induces the generation of HSP and activates the immune function of the whole body. At the same time, it improves the discrimination ability between cancer cells and normal cells, has no side effects, and kills only cancer cells. It is a cure to let you.
 ところで、このHSPは、高温ばかりではなく、外的傷害、放射線、紫外線などの外界からのストレスに晒された場合にも、生体防御システムとして、その発現(産生)が誘導される。
 すなわち、高温、紫外線などの生体に対するストレスは、細胞のタンパク質を変性させ、不溶性沈殿を形成して細胞にダメージを与える。したがって、かかる細胞へのダメージを防御する目的で、HSPの発現が誘導されることとなる。
By the way, expression (production) of this HSP is induced as a biological defense system not only at high temperatures but also when exposed to external stresses such as external injury, radiation, and ultraviolet rays.
That is, stress on a living body, such as high temperature and ultraviolet rays, denatures cellular proteins, forms insoluble precipitates, and damages cells. Therefore, the expression of HSP is induced for the purpose of preventing damage to such cells.
 かかる観点から、水生プランクトンであるアルテミアの孵化直前の耐久卵から水抽出した活性エキス(アルテミアエキス)成分が、ヒト皮膚細胞においてHSP70の産生を誘発することが見出され、かかる作用を利用した抗皮膚ストレス(ストレス防御)用化粧料が提案されている(特許文献1)。 From this point of view, it has been found that an active extract (artemia extract) component extracted from a durable egg immediately before hatching of artemia, an aquatic plankton, induces the production of HSP70 in human skin cells. Cosmetics for skin stress (stress protection) have been proposed (Patent Document 1).
 更に最近、脳梗塞やアルツハイマー病など脳疾患の原因である神経細胞死が、細胞を保護する熱ショックタンパク質(HSP)の損傷によって生じることが明らかにされた(非特許文献3)。
 また、HSP誘導物質が潰瘍性大腸炎やアルツハイマー病に有効であることが示されている(非特許文献4)。
More recently, it has been clarified that neuronal cell death that is a cause of brain diseases such as cerebral infarction and Alzheimer's disease is caused by damage of heat shock protein (HSP) that protects cells (Non-patent Document 3).
Moreover, it has been shown that an HSP inducer is effective for ulcerative colitis and Alzheimer's disease (Non-patent Document 4).

 かかる観点より本発明者は、更に検討を進め、各種植物成分(生薬)について、HSP70発現を誘導する安全性の高い成分の検索を行ってきていたが、その検討の中で、植物成分としてサワヒヨドリ(Eupatorium lindleyanum)の地上部の乾燥生薬(ヤバツイ)の抽出物が、HSP70の発現誘導を強化させることを見出した。
 特に、ヤバツイのエタノール抽出エキスを、各種カラムクロマトグラフィー、或いは高速液体クロマトグラフィー(HPLC)等で分画して得た成分(画分)には、極めて強いHSP70の発現誘導が認められることを確認し、その画分の主成分を検討したところ、セスキテルペンラクトン化合物であるユーパリノライドA(Eupalinolide A)、及びユーパリノライドB(Eupalinolide B)であることが判明した。
Therefore, induction of heat shock protein (HSP) expression is effective in the treatment of various pathological conditions and suppresses melanin production, and a component having an effective HSP70 expression inducing action is an extremely potent pharmaceutical. Or cosmetics.
From this point of view, the present inventors have further studied and searched for various highly safe components that induce HSP70 expression for various plant components (herbal medicines). (Eupatorium lindleyanum) above-ground dry crude drug (Yabatsui) extract was found to enhance the expression induction of HSP70.
In particular, it was confirmed that extremely strong HSP70 expression induction was observed in components (fractions) obtained by fractionating Yabatsui ethanol extract using various column chromatography or high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). When the main component of the fraction was examined, it was found to be Euparinolide A (Eupalinolide A) and Euparinolide B (Eupalinolide B), which are sesquiterpene lactone compounds.
 これらセスキテルペンラクトンであるユーパリノライドA及びBは、すでに公知の化合物であるが、これまでの研究では、その構造決定と、細胞毒性に関する報告(非特許文献5)のみであって、このものにHSPの発現を誘導する作用があることについては、一切記載されていない。 These esquiterpene lactones, Euparinolides A and B, are already known compounds. However, in the research so far, only the structure determination and cytotoxicity report (Non-Patent Document 5) have been reported. No mention is made of that it has an effect of inducing the expression of HSP.
