  • Alzheimer's disease Since the discovery of Alzheimer's disease in the 20th century, the incidence of AD has increased with the aging of the aging and the rapid growth of the corresponding elderly population. The prevention and treatment of AD has become the focus of attention of governments and medical circles.

  • a ⁇ is derived from its precursor protein (APP), and A ⁇ is a hydrolysis of APP by ⁇ - and ⁇ -secretase.
  • APP metabolism is abnormal, resulting in excessive production of A ⁇ , or A ⁇ aggregation and precipitation due to A ⁇ clearance disorder to form amyloid plaques.
  • the neurotrophin receptor p75 (p75NTR) combined with A ⁇ and its polymer mediates the neurotoxicity of ⁇ -amyloid peptide, induces the body to produce an inflammatory response, leads to neuronal pathology and apoptosis, promotes the occurrence of AD and further deteriorates the condition.
  • Soluble A ⁇ or its oligomers and insoluble A ⁇ fibrils and plaques have neurotoxic effects. Any method that prevents the overproduction and aggregation of A ⁇ in the brain and blocks the binding of p75NTR to A ⁇ -mediated neurotoxicity can achieve the goal of preventing AD and alleviating AD or preventing AD progression.
  • p75NTR is a p75 neurotrophic factor receptor, a transmembrane glycoprotein with a relative molecular mass of 75 kD. It consists of 427 amino acids and contains a signal peptide consisting of 28 amino acids, an extracellular domain enriched in cysteine, and hydrophobic. The transmembrane region and the intracellular domain of a basic amino acid consisting of 155 amino acids. Its extracellular domain (p75NTR-ECD) consists of four cysteine-rich repeat regions (CRDs), each repeat containing a repeating structure of 40 amino acids and six cysteines, translation After N- and O-glycosylation modification, the second repeat sequence is required for binding to neurotrophic factors (NTs) and A ⁇ .

  • p75NTR-ECD and p75NTR-ECD-FC designed and prepared by Wang Yanjiang and Zhou Xinfu and Wang Yongtang have the following defects; (1) they all use the prokaryotic expression system to prepare the target protein, and the prepared products are not translated sugar. The basic modification, thus failing to maintain the original physical and chemical properties of p75NTR-ECD and the natural spatial conformation of the protein, can not guarantee the effective biological activity of the protein prepared for clinical treatment of AD.
  • p75NTR-ECD-FC is a fusion protein of p75NTR-ECD and FC segment of human immunoglobulin, in which the FC segment can induce antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) in vivo, leading to its own immunity.

  • Interleukin-33 is a semaphore of the interleukin-1 (IL-1) family discovered in 2005. Its gene sequence and IL-1 family member IL -1 ⁇ is similar to IL-18. IL-33 is an important regulator of innate immune response and immune cell infiltration and activation. IL-33 contains 270 amino acids and contains an N-terminal nuclear localization signal, a helix-turn-helix motif and a C-terminus with a molecular weight of approximately 18 kDa.
  • IL-33 binds to a heterodimeric receptor complex composed of ST2 and IL-1RAcP, triggering a cascade of intracellular signaling pathways comprising myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88) and NF- ⁇ B, optionally Type 2 helper T cells, mast cells, neutrophils, and selectively activated macrophages are activated.

  • IL-33 is expressed by oligodendrocytes, while ST2 is mainly expressed by microglia and astrocytes.
  • IL-33 is a pluripotent, pleiotropic cytokine that plays an important regulatory role in infection, inflammation and autoimmune diseases.
  • IL-33 can protect against atherosclerosis, an important risk factor that promotes the development and progression of AD (see “Miller, AM, Xu, D., Asquith, DL, Denby, L., Li, Y., Sattar, N., Baker, AH, McInnes, IB, Liew, FY, 2008. IL-33reduces the development of atherosclerosis. J. Exp. Med. 205, 339246.”). This protective effect may be related to the downregulation of A ⁇ secretion by IL-33. In 2011, Yasuoka, S. et al.
  • IL-33 induces proliferation of microglia and production of cytokines IL-1 ⁇ , TNF ⁇ and IL-10 in a dose-dependent manner (see “Yasuoka, S., Kawanokuchi, J., Parajuli, B., Jin, S., Doi, Y., Noda, M., Sonobe, Y., Takeuchi, H., Mizuno, T., Suzumura, A., 2011.

Description

用于防治阿尔茨海默病的融合蛋白及其制备方法和应用 技术领域
本发明涉及生物医学技术领域,特别是涉及一种用于防治阿尔茨海默病的融合蛋白及其制备方法和应用。
背景技术
阿尔茨海默病(Alzheimer's disease,AD),常称“老年痴呆”症。自从20世纪发现阿尔茨海默病以来,AD发病率随着老龄化的加剧和相应的老年人口的快速增长而升高,AD的防治已成为各国政府和医学界关注的焦点。
AD是一种起病隐匿的渐进性发展的神经系统退行性疾病,其确切的发病机理至今未明。AD的病因学说有多种,其中主要以β-淀粉样级联学说占主导地位。大脑出现包含淀粉样β肽(Aβ)淀粉斑的沉积是AD的主要组织病理学特征。淀粉斑的主要成分是Aβ,Aβ由39-43个氨基酸残基组成,而其中以Aβ40和Aβ42为主。Aβ来源于自其前体蛋白(Amyloid precursor protein,APP),Aβ是APP分别经β-和γ-分泌酶(secretase)水解而成。在病理状态下,APP代谢异常,导致Aβ生成过多,或者由于Aβ清除障碍导致Aβ聚集、沉淀形成淀粉斑。神经营养因子受体p75(p75NTR)结合Aβ及其聚合体介导了β淀粉肽的神经毒性反应,诱导机体产生炎症反应,导致神经元病变和凋亡,促进AD的发生和病情进一步恶化。可溶性Aβ或其寡聚体和不溶性Aβ纤丝和斑块都有神经毒性作用。任何能防止大脑内Aβ的过度产生和聚集以及阻断p75NTR结合Aβ介导神经毒性反应的方法都可达到预防AD发生和缓解AD病情或阻止AD病情恶化的目的。
p75NTR是p75神经营养因子受体,是相对分子质量为75kD的跨膜糖蛋白,由427个氨基酸组成,包含一条由28个氨基酸组成的信号肽、富集半胱氨酸的胞外域、疏水性的跨膜区以及由155个氨基酸组成的富含碱性氨基酸的胞内域。其胞外域(p75NTR extracellular domain,p75NTR-ECD)由4个半胱氨酸富集重复序列区(CRDs)组成,每个重复序列含有40个氨基酸组成的重复结构和6个半胱氨酸,翻译后经N-与O-糖基化修饰,第2个重复序列是结合神经营养因子(NTs)和Aβ所必需的。其跨膜区由含有22个氨基酸的单链组成,跟p75NTR的磷酸化有关。p75NTR被TACE(TNF-alpha converting enzyme)酶所裂解释放其胞外域p75NTR-ECD。
根据游离的p75NTR-ECD可结合Aβ从而阻止p75NTR与Aβ结合产生神经毒性的原理,在中国专利ZL201010561284.3中,王延江和周新富设计p75NTR-ECD和p75NTR-ECD-FC用于AD的防治;在申请号为201210053808.7的中国专利申请中,王永堂等人设计p75NTR-ECD-FC用于促进损伤中枢神经再生与功能恢复。王延江和周新富以及王永堂等人设计和制备的p75NTR-ECD和p75NTR-ECD-FC存在以下缺陷;(1)他们都使用原核表达系制备目标蛋白,所制备的产物都未经过翻译后的糖基化修饰,因而未能保持p75NTR-ECD的原有的理化性质和蛋白质的天然空间构象,所以无法保证其制备的蛋白具有有效的生物活性用于AD的临床治疗。(2)p75NTR-ECD-FC是p75NTR-ECD与人免疫球蛋白的FC段的融合蛋白,其中的FC段能在体内诱导抗体依赖性细胞介导的细胞毒作用(ADCC),导致自身的免疫系统攻击神经元细胞,促发AD或者促使AD进展和恶化,达不到防治AD的目的。(3)p75NTR-ECD-FC的FC段具有免疫原性,能诱导机体产生抗FC的抗体,促使ECD生物活性失效或者被快速降 解。(4)p75NTR-ECD和p75NTR-ECD-FC只含ECD,只能和Aβ结合,未能诱导机体促进Aβ的降解,所以无法有效防治AD。
白细胞介素-33(Interleukin-33,IL-33)是在2005年发现的白细胞介素-1(Interleukin-1,IL-1)家族的一个信号素,其基因序列与IL-1家族成员IL-1β和IL-18相似。IL-33是协调先天性免疫反应及免疫细胞浸润和活化的重要调节因子。IL-33含有270个氨基酸,包含一个N末端核定位信号、螺旋-转角-螺旋的基元和C端,分子量约18kDa。IL-33与由ST2和IL-1RAcP组成的异源二聚体受体复合物结合,触发包含髓样分化因子88(MyD88)和NF-κB的细胞内信号通道的级联反应,选择性地激活2型辅助性T细胞、肥大细胞,中性粒细胞,和选择性激活的巨噬细胞。在中枢神经系统(CNS),IL-33由少突胶质细胞表达,而ST2则主要由小胶质细胞和星形胶质细胞表达。IL-33是一种多潜能、多效性的细胞因子,在感染、炎症和自身免疫性疾病中发挥着十分重要的调节作用。2009年,Chapuis J等人通过遗传学研究发现AD患者脑内的IL-33表达显著减少,且IL-33基因的三个单核苷酸多态性(SNPs)与降低AD的发生和进展的风险密切相关(参见“Chapuis J,et al.(2009)Transcriptomic and genetic studies identify IL-33as a candidate gene for Alzheimer’s disease.Mol Psychiatry 14(11):1004–1016.”)。2008年Miller,A.M.等人发现IL-33能对促进AD的发生和进展的重要危险因子动脉粥样硬化起到保护性作用(参见“Miller,A.M.,Xu,D.,Asquith,D.L.,Denby,L.,Li,Y.,Sattar,N.,Baker,A.H.,McInnes,I.B.,Liew,F.Y.,2008.IL-33reduces the development of atherosclerosis.J.Exp.Med.205,339246.”)。这种保护性作用可能与IL-33通过下调Aβ的分泌有关。2011年Yasuoka,S.等人发现IL-33能以呈剂量依赖性方式诱导小胶质细胞的增殖和细胞因子IL-1β、TNFα和IL-10的产生(参见“Yasuoka,S.,Kawanokuchi,J.,Parajuli,B.,Jin,S.,Doi,Y.,Noda,M.,Sonobe,Y.,Takeuchi,H.,Mizuno,T.,Suzumura,A.,2011.Production and functions of IL-33in the central nervous system.Brain Res.1385,8–17.”)。因此,研究发现IL-33能够防止AD的发生和阻止AD病情的进展和恶化,对AD防治具有潜在的治疗作用。
鉴于目前还没有防治AD的有效药物和有效的治疗手段,以及p75NTR-ECD和p75NTR-ECD-FC在开发应用于AD防治方面存在缺陷,找到能够用于防治AD的有效药物至关重要。

本发明与现有技术对比的有益效果包括:本发明设计和构建了用于防治阿尔 茨海默病的融合蛋白(也可以命名为p75NTR-ECD-IL-33),其由p75NTR的胞外域p75NTR-ECD和IL-33通过连接肽(Linker)连接而成,克服了p75NTR-ECD或其融合蛋白p75NTR-ECD-FC的不稳定和具有免疫原性和抗体依赖性细胞介导的细胞毒作用(ADCC)的缺陷和防治AD的作用机理单一(只通过和Aβ结合)的缺点,同时将IL-33和p75NTR-ECD两者的功能结合在一起并通过提高两者的稳定性和协同作用大大提升防治AD的生物学活性。具体来说,具有以下优点:(1)p75NTR-ECD-IL-33同时具有p75NTR-ECD和IL-33两者的生物学功能。p75NTR-ECD-IL-33中的p75NTR-ECD能与Aβ及其聚合体结合,阻止p75NTR与Aβ及其聚合体结合,保护中枢神经元免受Aβ的神经毒性的损害。p75NTR-ECD-IL-33中的IL-33能诱导机体降低Aβ的分泌和促进Aβ的降解,防止AD的发生和阻止AD病情的进展和恶化。(2)p75NTR-ECD-IL-33是融合蛋白,能有效提高和延长其中包含的p75NTR-ECD和IL-33在体内外的稳定性和半衰期。(3)p75NTR-ECD-IL-33能使其中包含的p75NTR-ECD和IL-33在防止和治疗(即防治)AD方面发挥协同作用,p75NTR-ECD-IL-33通过p75NTR-ECD结合Aβ使IL-33对Aβ具有精准的靶向性,使IL-33在Aβ及其寡聚体周围诱导机体直接内吞或者产生Aβ降解酶降解Aβ,从而提高机体对Aβ的降解效率。结果,使p75NTR-ECD-IL-33融合蛋白的生物学活性较p75NTR-ECD和IL-33单体大幅度提高。(4)p75NTR-ECD-IL-33可被构建成在真核细胞系和人体内表达,使p75NTR-ECD-IL-33中的p75NTR-ECD和IL-33在翻译后得到充分的糖基化修饰因而保持原有的理化性质和生理状态下的生物学功能。(5)p75NTR-ECD-IL-33消除了p75NTR-ECD-FC中的FC的免疫原性和抗体依赖性细胞介导的细胞毒作用(ADCC),所以预期p75NTR-ECD-IL-33可以作为预防和治疗AD的安全有效药物,填补了防治阿尔茨海默病至今还没有有效药物的空白。

目标蛋白p75NTR-ECD-IL-33体内生物学功能测定通过测定外源蛋白p75NTR-ECD-IL-33在体内促进机体降低Aβ的分泌和促进Aβ的降解来实现。取AD小鼠20只,其中5只为空白对照组,5只为p75NTR-ECD组(连续3天,每天腹膜内注射300ng p75NTR-ECD),5只为IL-33组(连续3天,每天腹膜内注射300ng IL-33),5只为p75NTR-ECD-IL-33组(连续3天,每天于腹膜内注射300ng p75NTR-ECD-IL-33)。在小鼠开始注射样品1周后分别取尾静脉血和大脑皮层。大脑皮层用干冰速冻,然后用含有蛋白酶抑制剂的匀浆缓冲液(250mM蔗糖,20mM pH 7.4Tris-HCl,1mM EDTA和1mM EGTA)和杜恩斯匀浆器匀浆,使用二乙胺提取可溶性Aβ。静脉血和可溶性Aβ溶液用Thermo Fisher公司提供的ILISA试剂盒Amyloid beta 42 ELISA Kit,Mouse(Novex,KMB3441)测定Aβ1-42的血液和大脑皮层中的含量。测定结果显示,相对于p75NTR-ECD和IL-33,使用重组融合蛋白p75NTR-ECD-IL-33更显著地促进Aβ在体内的降解和清除。重组融合蛋白p75NTR-ECD-IL-33融合p75NTR-ECD和IL-33后对p75NTR-ECD和IL-33在防治AD方面的生物学功能活性具有显著协同和促进作用。结果如图6和图7所示。
本发明还提供一种以上各实施方式中所述的融合蛋白在制备防治阿尔茨海 默病的药物中的应用以及用于防治阿尔茨海默病的药物;所述药物可以为以上各实施方式中所述的融合蛋白本身,或者表达所述的融合蛋白的mRNA脂质体,或者携带表达所述的融合蛋白基因的病毒载体。所述药物的临床使用方法可以为:可经腹膜内、静脉或者脑内直接注射重组融合蛋白p75NTR-ECD-IL-33,或者可经静脉或者脑内施用表达融合蛋白p75NTR-ECD-IL-33的mRNA脂质体或者携带p75NTR-ECD-IL-33基因的病毒载体(包括慢病毒(Lentivirus),腺病毒(adenovirus),腺相关病毒(adeno-associated virus)等)。
通过上述实验和测定,本发明实施例中得到的p75NTR-ECD-IL-33的优点包括:
(1)p75NTR-ECD-IL-33同时具有p75NTR-ECD和IL-33两者的生物学功能。p75NTR-ECD-IL-33中的p75NTR-ECD能与Aβ及其聚合体结合,阻止p75NTR与Aβ及其聚合体结合,保护中枢神经元免受Aβ的神经毒性的损害。p75NTR-ECD-IL-33中的IL-33能诱导机体降低Aβ的分泌和促进Aβ的降解,防止AD的发生和阻止AD病情的进展和恶化。
(2)p75NTR-ECD-IL-33是融合蛋白,能有效提高和延长其中包含的p75NTR-ECD和IL-33在体内外的稳定性和半衰期。
(3)p75NTR-ECD-IL-33能使其中包含的p75NTR-ECD和IL-33在防止和治疗AD方面发挥协同作用,p75NTR-ECD-IL-33通过p75NTR-ECD结合Aβ使IL-33对Aβ具有精准的靶向性,使IL-33在Aβ及其寡聚体周围诱导机体直接内吞或者产生Aβ降解酶降解Aβ,从而提高机体对Aβ的降解效率。结果,使p75NTR-ECD-IL-33融合蛋白的生物学活性较p75NTR-ECD和IL-33单体大幅度提高。
(4)p75NTR-ECD-IL-33被构建成在真核细胞系和在人体内表达,使p75NTR-ECD-IL-33中的p75NTR-ECD和IL-33在翻译后得到充分的糖基化修饰因而保持原有的理化性质和生理状态下的生物学功能。
(5)p75NTR-ECD-IL-33消除了p75NTR-ECD-FC中的FC的免疫原性和抗体依赖性细胞介导的细胞毒作用(ADCC),所以p75NTR-ECD-IL-33可以作为预防和治疗AD的安全有效药物。
以上内容是结合具体的优选实施方式对本发明所作的进一步详细说明,不能认定本发明的具体实施只局限于这些说明。对于本发明所属技术领域的技术人员来说,在不脱离本发明构思的前提下,还可以做出若干等同替代或明显变型,而且性能或用途相同,都应当视为属于本发明的保护范围。
