  • Fibrosis is a pathological change characterized by fibroblast activation and proliferation, increased fibrous connective tissue in tissues and organs, and decreased parenchymal cells. Progression can lead to tissue and organ structural damage and loss of function. Fibrosis of vital organs seriously affects the quality of life of patients and even life-threatening. Worldwide, tissue fibrosis is the leading cause of disability and death in many diseases. According to statistics from the United States, about 45% of the country's deaths from various diseases can be attributed to tissue fibroproliferative diseases.
  • Fibrotic diseases include diseases involving multiple systems, such as systemic sclerosis, multifocal fibrosis, scleroderma, renal multisystemic fibrosis, and organ-specific diseases such as skin, heart, lungs, Liver, kidney fibrosis, etc.

  • Cardiac fibrosis occurs in the development and progression of a variety of heart diseases, such as viral myocarditis, myocardial infarction, and hypertensive heart disease. Excessive cardiac fibrosis leads to impaired cardiac function, which is the main cause of heart disease in various diseases. Inhibition and reversal of myocardial fibrosis has become an important link in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases.
  • Hepatic fibrosis refers to the pathological process of abnormal proliferation of connective tissue in the liver caused by various pathogenic factors and excessive precipitation of diffuse extracellular matrix in the liver.
  • Various factors can cause liver fibrosis, such as viral infection, inflammatory response, oxidative stress and alcohol abuse.

  • the cirrhosis has pseudolobule formation, the central venous area and the portal area are separated, and the normal structure of the liver is affected. To the destruction, liver fibrosis is further developed as cirrhosis.
  • Viral hepatitis is the main cause of chronic liver disease in China.
  • Liver tissue fibrosis of chronic viral hepatitis is related to intrahepatic inflammation, necrosis, viral replication, etc., and is reversible in the early stage.
  • antiviral therapy, adjustment of immune function and protection of liver cells and anti-fibrosis are combined to prevent active liver fibrosis.

  • Renal fibrosis is a pathological process in which extracellular matrix and inappropriate connective tissue accumulate in the kidney, leading to structural changes and impaired function of the kidney, and is a common pathway for almost all kidney diseases to progress to end-stage renal failure.
  • the process of renal fibrosis involves inflammatory reaction, apoptosis of innate cells and immune cells, and imbalance of various regulatory fibrotic factors, so it can resist renal fibrosis through anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic and treatment against fibrotic factors.
  • Chronic lesions of tissues and organs are often accompanied by fibrosis, such as chronic inflammation of the lungs, chronic lesions, and pulmonary fibrosis.

  • the compensatory function of the liver is very strong.
  • Fibrotic lesions have been lurking in various chronic liver diseases. It is usually discovered when it develops into cirrhosis. In fact, cirrhosis is already a serious stage of liver fibrosis.
  • Others such as chronic nephritis, glomerulonephritis, and renal tubular inflammation have renal fibrosis; vascular fibrosis occurs in cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, lower extremity arteriosclerosis, or narrowing, or obstruction.
  • the scar tissue is the fibrous connective tissue of the aging stage formed by the morphological transformation of the granulation tissue.
  • fibroblasts divide, proliferate, migrate to the damaged site, produce extracellular matrix, form scar tissue, and repair wounds.
  • the formation of scars is a process of progressive fibrosis of granulation tissue.
  • the reticular fibers are collagenized, the collagen fibers are thickened, and at the same time, the fibroblasts are less and less, and a small amount of the remaining fibers are converted into fibroblasts; Absorption, neutrophils, macrophages, lymphocytes and plasma cells disappeared; capillaries closed, degenerated, disappeared, leaving few small arteries and venules.

  • Atherosclerosis often leads to ischemic damage to tissues and organs, which in turn causes fibrotic lesions in tissues and organs.
  • Atherosclerosis is a chronic, progressive arterial disease in which some or all of the fat deposited in the arteries blocks blood flow. Atherosclerosis occurs when the smooth, firm arterial intima is roughened, thickened, and blocked by fat, fibrin, calcium, and cellular debris.
  • Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory hyperplasia of the arterial intima, leading to stenosis or occlusion of large and medium-sized arteries, causing ischemic injury, fibrosis, and even necrosis of the corresponding organs.
  • Atherosclerosis is closely related to diabetes, which is characterized by early, severe and poor prognosis of atherosclerosis in diabetic patients, and atherosclerosis is the leading cause of death in diabetic patients. It is found that the pathological changes of coronary artery in diabetic patients are mainly characterized by more blood vessels involved in the lesions, severe coronary stenosis, and more serious lesions. The mechanism is considered to be atherosclerosis caused by abnormal blood glucose metabolism.

Description

一种预防和治疗组织器官纤维化的方法 技术领域
本发明涉及一种预防和治疗组织器官纤维化的方法，包括给药受试者有效量的纤溶酶原。
背景技术
纤维化是一种病理变化，表现为成纤维细胞激活增殖、组织器官内纤维结缔组织增多，实质细胞减少，持续进展可致组织、器官结构破坏和功能丧失。重要脏器的纤维化严重影响患者生存质量，甚至危及生命。在全世界范围内，组织纤维化是许多疾病致残、致死的主要原因，据美国有关统计资料证明，该国因各种疾病而致死的患者中，约45％可以归于组织纤维增生疾病。
纤维化疾病包括累及多系统的疾病，如系统性硬化症、多灶性纤维化、硬皮病、肾源性的多系统纤维化，也包括器官组织特异性疾病，如皮肤、心、肺、肝、肾纤维化等。不同纤维化疾病的病因各不相同，例如组织器官的损伤、感染、免疫反应、慢性炎症等，但其共同的特征是细胞外基质(ECM)在组织中的过度沉积和器官组织重构[1-3]。
心脏纤维化出现于多种心脏疾病的发生与发展过程中，如病毒性心肌炎、心肌梗死和高血压心脏病等。过度的心脏纤维化导致心脏功能受损，是多种疾病走向心衰的主要原因，其中抑制和逆转心肌纤维化己成为治疗心血管疾病的重要环节。
肝纤维化是指由各种致病因子所致肝内结缔组织异常增生，肝内弥漫性细胞外基质过度沉淀的病理过程。多种因素均可引起肝纤维化，如病毒感染、炎症反应、氧化应激和酗酒等。肝纤维化的病理特点为汇管区和肝小叶内有大量纤维组织增生和沉积，但尚未形成小叶内间隔，肝硬化则有假小叶形成，中心静脉区和汇管区出现间隔，肝的正常结构遭到破坏，肝纤维化进一步发展即为肝硬化。我国的慢性肝病中以病毒性肝炎为主，慢性病毒性肝炎的肝组织纤维化与肝内炎症、坏死、病毒复制等有关，而且在早期是可逆的。为此将抗病毒治疗，调整机体免疫功能及保护肝细胞等疗法与抗纤维化结合起来，是防止肝纤维化的积极措施。
肺纤维化疾病包括特发性肺纤维化、结节病、过敏性肺炎、尘肺、药物和放射线导致的纤维化，以及与胶原血管病有关的致纤维化肺泡炎等病因各异、范围广泛的疾病谱。其主要病理特点包括肺组织间充质细胞增殖、细胞外基质增生沉积及肺实质的重构等画。目前主要采用抗炎、抗氧化、抗成纤维细胞增殖和胶原沉积及肺移植等措施治疗肺纤维化。
肾纤维化表现为细胞外基质和不适当结缔组织在肾聚集，导致肾结构改变和功能受损的病理过程，也是几乎所有肾疾病进展到终末期肾衰的共同通路。肾纤维化过程涉及炎症反应，固有细胞和免疫细胞的凋亡以及多种调控纤维化因子失衡等，故可通过抗炎症、抗凋亡和针对纤维化因子治疗等途径抗御肾纤维化。
组织器官的慢性病变常伴有纤维化，例如肺的慢性炎症，慢性病变，伴有肺纤维化。肝纤维化也是这样，像乙肝、丙肝、酒精肝、脂肪肝、血吸虫病等都伴有早期肝纤维化。肝的代偿功能很强，纤维化病变一直潜伏在各种慢性肝病里，一般发展为肝硬化时才被发现，实际上肝硬化已经是肝纤维化的严重阶段。再像慢性肾炎、肾小球炎、肾小管炎等都有肾纤维化；心血管、脑血管、下肢血管硬化、或变窄、或阻塞情况下都有血管纤维化。
皮肤纤维化形成瘢痕组织。瘢痕组织是肉芽组织经改建成熟形成的老化阶段的纤维结缔组织。创伤等情况下，成纤维细胞分裂、增殖，向受损部位迁移，产生细胞外基质，形成瘢痕组织，修复创伤。
瘢痕的形成是肉芽组织逐渐纤维化的过程。此时网状纤维及胶原纤维越来越多，网状纤维胶原化，胶原纤维变粗，与此同时纤维母细胞越来越少，少量剩下者转变为纤维细胞；间质中液体逐渐被吸收，中性粒细胞、巨噬细胞、淋巴细胞和浆细胞先后消失；毛细血管闭合、退化、消失，留下很少的小动脉及小静脉。这样，肉芽组织乃转变成主要由胶原纤维组成的血管稀少的瘢痕组织，肉眼呈白色，质地坚韧。
由于瘢痕坚韧又缺乏弹性，加上瘢痕收缩可引起器官变形及功能障碍，所以发生在关节附近和重要脏器的瘢痕，常引起关节痉挛或活动受限，如在消化道、泌尿道等腔室器官则引起管腔狭窄，在关节附近则引起运动障碍。发生在器官之间或器官与体腔壁之间的瘢痕性粘连，常不同程 度地影响其功能。如器官内广泛损伤后发生广泛纤维化、玻璃样变，则导致器官硬化。
系统性硬化症(SSc)也称为硬皮病，是一种以局限性或弥漫性皮肤增厚和纤维化为特征的全身性自身免疫病。病变特点为皮肤纤维增生及血管洋葱皮样改变，最终导致皮肤硬化、血管缺血。本病临床上以局限性或弥漫性皮肤增厚和纤维化为特征，除皮肤受累外，它也可影响内脏(心、肺和消化道等器官)。
动脉粥样硬化常常导致组织、器官缺血损伤，继而引发组织器官的纤维化病变。动脉粥样硬化是一种慢性的、渐进性动脉疾病，发病时动脉中沉积的脂肪部分或全部堵塞血流。当原本光滑、坚实的动脉内膜变粗糙、增厚，并被脂肪、纤维蛋白、钙和细胞碎屑堵塞时，便出现动脉粥样硬化。动脉粥样硬化是动脉内膜的慢性炎症性增生病变，导致大、中型动脉管腔狭窄或闭塞，引起相应器官组织缺血损伤、纤维化，甚至坏死。
动脉粥样硬化与糖尿病关系密切，表现为糖尿病患者出现动脉粥样硬化的时间早、程度重和预后差，而动脉粥样硬化又是糖尿病患者的主要死亡原因。临床发现糖尿病患者的冠状动脉血管病理改变的特点主要是病变累及的血管较多、冠状动脉狭窄严重，病变更加弥漫严重，其机制多认为是血糖代谢异常引起动脉粥样硬化，随着更进一步深入的研究，更多的结果表明，糖尿病引起动脉粥样硬化并非单一因素所致，而是通过多种途径以及较为复杂的机制来诱发和促进动脉粥样硬化的发生及发展，例如巨噬细胞极化、巨噬细胞移动抑制因子途径、糖基化终产物途径、清道夫受体上调、胰岛素抵抗、泛素-蛋白酶体系统激活、血小板源性生长因子激活途径等[4]。
目前，各种原因导致的纤维化疾病发病人群众多，患者往往有多个器官组织受累，尚缺乏有效的治疗方法，社会和经济负担较重。本发明研究发现纤溶酶原可以改善组织器官的纤维化，改善组织器官功能，从而为组织器官纤维化及其相关病症的预防和治疗开辟了一个全新的领域。

“动脉粥样硬化”是一种慢性的、渐进性动脉疾病，发病时动脉中沉积的脂肪部分或全部堵塞血流。动脉粥样硬化是个渐进的过程。当血液中的脂类浓度大大增加时，便会沿着动脉壁形成脂肪条纹。这些条纹会导致脂肪和胆固醇沉积，这些沉淀依附在原本平滑的动脉内膜上，从而形成小 结。这些小结下面继而长出纤维化的瘢痕组织，导致钙沉积。沉积的钙逐渐演变为无法除去的白垩状坚硬薄膜(称为动脉粥样斑)。当与体内的某个组织、器官相连的动脉被堵塞后，因该组织、器官中的动脉受阻而引起的组织、器官的缺血损伤可导致该组织、器官的纤维化病变，例如心脏、肺脏、肝脏、肾脏、血管、腹膜、胰腺、皮肤的纤维化。
糖尿病常伴有动脉粥样硬化的发生，其机制多认为是血糖代谢异常引起的动脉粥样硬化，随着更进一步深入的研究，更多的结果表明，糖尿病引起动脉粥样硬化并非单一因素所致，而是通过多种途径以及较为复杂的机制来诱发和促进动脉粥样硬化的发生及发展[4]。糖尿病以及其伴随的动脉粥样硬化可导致组织、器官损伤和纤维化，例如心脏、肺脏、肝脏、肾脏、血管、腹膜、胰腺、皮肤等组织、器官的纤维化。
发明详述
纤溶酶是纤溶酶原激活系统(PA系统)的关键组分。它是一种广谱的蛋白酶，能够水解细胞外基质(ECM)的几个组分，包括纤维蛋白、明胶、纤连蛋白、层粘连蛋白和蛋白聚糖[5]。此外，纤溶酶能将一些金属蛋白酶前体(pro-MMPs)激活形成具有活性的金属蛋白酶(MMPs)。因此纤溶酶被认为是胞外蛋白水解作用的一个重要的上游调节物[6，7]。纤溶酶是由纤溶酶原通过两种生理性的PAs：组织型纤溶酶原激活剂(tPA)或尿激酶型纤溶酶原激活剂(uPA)蛋白水解形成的。由于纤溶酶原在血浆和其他体液中相对水平较高，传统上认为PA系统的调节主要通过PAs的合成和活性水平实现。PA系统组分的合成受不同因素严格调节，如激素、生长因子和细胞因子。此外，还存在纤溶酶和PAs的特定生理抑制剂。纤溶酶的主要抑制剂是α2-抗纤溶酶(α2-antiplasmin)。PAs的活性同时被uPA和tPA的纤溶酶原激活剂抑制剂-1(PAI-1)抑制以及主要抑制uPA的溶酶原激活剂抑制剂-2(PAI-2)调节。某些细胞表面具有直接水解活性的uPA特异性细胞表面受体(uPAR)[8，9]。
纤溶酶原是一个单链糖蛋白，由791个氨基酸组成，分子量约为92kDa[10，11]。纤溶酶原主要在肝脏合成，大量存在于胞外液中。血浆中纤溶酶原含量约为2μM。因此纤溶酶原是组织和体液中蛋白质水解活性的一个巨大的潜在来源[12，13]。纤溶酶原存在两种分子形式：谷氨酸-纤溶酶原(Glu- plasminogen)和赖氨酸-纤溶酶原(Lys-plasminogen)。天然分泌和未裂解形式的纤溶酶原具有一个氨基末端(N-末端)谷氨酸，因此被称为谷氨酸-纤溶酶原。然而，在纤溶酶存在时，谷氨酸-纤溶酶原在Lys76-Lys77处水解成为赖氨酸-纤溶酶原。与谷氨酸-纤溶酶原相比，赖氨酸-纤溶酶原与纤维蛋白具有更高的亲和力，并可以更高的速率被PAs激活。这两种形式的纤溶酶原的Arg560-Val561肽键可被uPA或tPA切割，导致二硫键连接的双链蛋白酶纤溶酶的形成[14]。纤溶酶原的氨基末端部分包含五个同源三环，即所谓的kringles，羧基末端部分包含蛋白酶结构域。一些kringles含有介导纤溶酶原与纤维蛋白及其抑制剂α2-AP特异性相互作用的赖氨酸结合位点。最新发现一个纤溶酶原为38kDa的片段，其中包括kringles1-4，是血管生成的有效抑制剂。这个片段被命名为血管抑素，可通过几个蛋白酶水解纤溶酶原产生。
纤溶酶的主要底物是纤维蛋白，纤维蛋白的溶解是预防病理性血栓形成的关键[15]。纤溶酶还具有对ECM几个组分的底物特异性，包括层粘连蛋白、纤连蛋白、蛋白聚糖和明胶，表明纤溶酶在ECM重建中也起着重要作用[11，16，17]。间接地，纤溶酶还可以通过转化某些蛋白酶前体为活性蛋白酶来降解ECM的其他组分，包括MMP-1，MMP-2，MMP-3和MMP-9。因此，有人提出，纤溶酶可能是细胞外蛋白水解的一个重要的上游调节器[18]。此外，纤溶酶具有激活某些潜在形式的生长因子的能力[19-21]。在体外，纤溶酶还能水解补体系统的组分并释放趋化补体片段。
“纤溶酶”是存在于血液中的一种非常重要的酶，能将纤维蛋白凝块水解为纤维蛋白降解产物和D-二聚体。
“纤溶酶原”是纤溶酶的酶原形式，根据swiss prot中的序列，按含有信号肽的天然人源纤溶酶原氨基酸序列(序列4)计算由810个氨基酸组成，分子量约为90kD，主要在肝脏中合成并能够在血液中循环的糖蛋白，编码该氨基酸序列的cDNA序列如序列3所示。全长的纤溶酶原包含七个结构域：位于C末端的丝氨酸蛋白酶结构域、N末端的Pan Apple(PAp)结构域以及5个Kringle结构域(Kringle1-5)。参照swiss prot中的序列，其信号肽包括残基Met1-Gly19，PAp包括残基Glu20-Val98，Kringle1包括残基Cys103-Cys181，Kringle2包括残基Glu184-Cys262，Kringle3包括残基Cys275-Cys352，Kringle4包括残基Cys377-Cys454，Kringle5包括残基 Cys481-Cys560。根据NCBI数据，丝氨酸蛋白酶域包括残基Val581-Arg804。
Glu-纤溶酶原是天然全长的纤溶酶原，由791个氨基酸组成(不含有19个氨基酸的信号肽)，编码该序列的cDNA序列如序列1所示，其氨基酸序列如序列2所示。在体内，还存在一种是从Glu-纤溶酶原的第76-77位氨基酸处水解从而形成的Lys-纤溶酶原，如序列6所示，编码该氨基酸序列的cDNA序列如序列5所示。Delta-纤溶酶原(δ-plasminogen)是全长纤溶酶原缺失了Kringle2-Kringle5结构的片段，仅含有Kringle1和丝氨酸蛋白酶域[22，23]，有文献报道了delta-纤溶酶原的氨基酸序列(序列8)[23]，编码该氨基酸序列的cDNA序列如序列7。小纤溶酶原(Mini-plasminogen)由Kringle5和丝氨酸蛋白酶域组成，有文献报道其包括残基Val443-Asn791(以不含有信号肽的Glu-纤溶酶原序列的Glu残基为起始氨基酸)[24]，其氨基酸序列如序列10所示，编码该氨基酸序列的cDNA序列如序列9所示。而微纤溶酶原(Micro-plasminogen)仅含有丝氨酸蛋白酶结构域，有文献报道其氨基酸序列包括残基Ala543-Asn791(以不含有信号肽的Glu-纤溶酶原序列的Glu残基为起始氨基酸)[25]，也有专利文献CN102154253A报道其序列包括残基Lys531-Asn791(以不含有信号肽的Glu-纤溶酶原序列的Glu残基为起始氨基酸)，本专利序列参考专利文献CN102154253A，其氨基酸序列如序列12所示，编码该氨基酸序列的cDNA序列如序列11所示。
本发明的“纤溶酶”与“纤维蛋白溶酶”、“纤维蛋白溶解酶”可互换使用，含义相同；“纤溶酶原”与“纤维蛋白溶酶原”、“纤维蛋白溶解酶原”可互换使用，含义相同。
在本申请中，所述纤溶酶原“缺乏”的含义为受试者体内纤溶酶原的含量或活性比正常人低，低至足以影响所述受试者的正常生理功能；所述纤溶酶原“缺失”的含义为受试者体内纤溶酶原的含量或活性显著低于正常人，甚至活性或表达极微，只有通过外源提供才能维持正常生理功能。
本领域技术人员可以理解，本发明纤溶酶原的所有技术方案适用于纤溶酶，因此，本发明描述的技术方案涵盖了纤溶酶原和纤溶酶。
在循环过程中，纤溶酶原采用封闭的非活性构象，但当结合至血栓或细胞表面时，在纤溶酶原激活剂(plasminogen activator，PA)的介导下，其 转变为呈开放性构象的活性纤溶酶。具有活性的纤溶酶可进一步将纤维蛋白凝块水解为纤维蛋白降解产物和D-二聚体，进而溶解血栓。其中纤溶酶原的PAp结构域包含维持纤溶酶原处于非活性封闭构象的重要决定簇，而KR结构域则能够与存在于受体和底物上的赖氨酸残基结合。已知多种能够作为纤溶酶原激活剂的酶，包括：组织纤溶酶原激活剂(tPA)、尿激酶纤溶酶原激活剂(uPA)、激肽释放酶和凝血因子XII(哈格曼因子)等。
“纤溶酶原活性片段”是指在纤溶酶原蛋白中，能够与底物中的靶序列结合并发挥蛋白水解功能的活性片段。本发明涉及纤溶酶原的技术方案涵盖了用纤溶酶原活性片段代替纤溶酶原的技术方案。本发明所述的纤溶酶原活性片段为包含纤溶酶原的丝氨酸蛋白酶域的蛋白质，优选，本发明所述的纤溶酶原活性片段包含序列14、与序列14具有至少80％、90％、95％、96％、97％、98％、99％同源性的氨基酸序列的蛋白质。因此，本发明所述的纤溶酶原包括含有该纤溶酶原活性片段、并且仍然保持该纤溶酶原活性的蛋白。
目前，对于血液中纤溶酶原及其活性测定方法包括：对组织纤溶酶原激活剂活性的检测(t-PAA)、血浆组织纤溶酶原激活剂抗原的检测(t-PAAg)、对血浆组织纤溶酶原活性的检测(plgA)、血浆组织纤溶酶原抗原的检测(plgAg)、血浆组织纤溶酶原激活剂抑制物活性的检测、血浆组织纤溶酶原激活剂抑制物抗原的检测、血浆纤维蛋白溶酶-抗纤维蛋白溶酶复合物检测(PAP)。其中最常用的检测方法为发色底物法：向受检血浆中加链激酶(SK)和发色底物，受检血浆中的PLG在SK的作用下，转变成PLM，后者作用于发色底物，随后用分光光度计测定，吸光度增加与纤溶酶原活性成正比。此外也可采用免疫化学法、凝胶电泳、免疫比浊法、放射免疫扩散法等对血液中的纤溶酶原活性进行测定。
“直系同源物或直系同系物(ortholog)”指不同物种之间的同源物，既包括蛋白同源物也包括DNA同源物，也称为直向同源物、垂直同源物。其具体指不同物种中由同一祖先基因进化而来的蛋白或基因。本发明的纤溶酶原包括人的天然纤溶酶原，还包括来源于不同物种的、具有纤溶酶原活性的纤溶酶原直系同源物或直系同系物。
“保守取代变体”是指其中一个给定的氨基酸残基改变但不改变蛋白质或酶的整体构象和功能，这包括但不限于以相似特性(如酸性，碱性，疏 水性，等)的氨基酸取代亲本蛋白质中氨基酸序列中的氨基酸。具有类似性质的氨基酸是众所周知的。例如，精氨酸、组氨酸和赖氨酸是亲水性的碱性氨基酸并可以互换。同样，异亮氨酸是疏水氨基酸，则可被亮氨酸，蛋氨酸或缬氨酸替换。因此，相似功能的两个蛋白或氨基酸序列的相似性可能会不同。例如，基于MEGALIGN算法的70％至99％的相似度(同一性)。“保守取代变体”还包括通过BLAST或FASTA算法确定具有60％以上的氨基酸同一性的多肽或酶，若能达75％以上更好，最好能达85％以上，甚至达90％以上为最佳，并且与天然或亲本蛋白质或酶相比具有相同或基本相似的性质或功能。
“分离的”纤溶酶原是指从其天然环境分离和/或回收的纤溶酶原蛋白。在一些实施方案中，所述纤溶酶原会纯化(1)至大于90％、大于95％、或大于98％的纯度(按重量计)，如通过Lowry法所确定的，例如超过99％(按重量计)，(2)至足以通过使用旋转杯序列分析仪获得N端或内部氨基酸序列的至少15个残基的程度，或(3)至同质性，该同质性是通过使用考马斯蓝或银染在还原性或非还原性条件下的十二烷基硫酸钠-聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳(SDS-PAGE)确定的。分离的纤溶酶原也包括通过生物工程技术从重组细胞制备，并通过至少一个纯化步骤分离的纤溶酶原。
术语“多肽”、“肽”和“蛋白质”在本文中可互换使用，指任何长度的氨基酸的聚合形式，其可以包括遗传编码的和非遗传编码的氨基酸，化学或生物化学修饰的或衍生化的氨基酸，和具有经修饰的肽主链的多肽。该术语包括融合蛋白，包括但不限于具有异源氨基酸序列的融合蛋白，具有异源和同源前导序列(具有或没有N端甲硫氨酸残基)的融合物；等等。
关于参照多肽序列的“氨基酸序列同一性百分数(％)”定义为在必要时引入缺口以实现最大百分比序列同一性后，且不将任何保守替代视为序列同一性的一部分时，候选序列中与参照多肽序列中的氨基酸残基相同的氨基酸残基的百分率。为测定百分比氨基酸序列同一性目的的对比可以以本领域技术范围内的多种方式实现，例如使用公众可得到的计算机软件，诸如BLAST、BLAST-2、ALIGN或Megalign(DNASTAR)软件。本领域技术人员能决定用于比对序列的适宜参数，包括对所比较序列全长实现最大对比需要的任何算法。然而，为了本发明的目的，氨基酸序列同一性百分数值是使用序列比较计算机程序ALIGN-2产生的。
在采用ALIGN-2来比较氨基酸序列的情况中，给定氨基酸序列A相对于给定氨基酸序列B的％氨基酸序列同一性(或者可表述为具有或包含相对于、与、或针对给定氨基酸序列B的某一％氨基酸序列同一性的给定氨基酸序列A)如下计算：
分数X/Y乘100
其中X是由序列比对程序ALIGN-2在该程序的A和B比对中评分为相同匹配的氨基酸残基的数目，且其中Y是B中的氨基酸残基的总数。应当领会，在氨基酸序列A的长度与氨基酸序列B的长度不相等的情况下，A相对于B的％氨基酸序列同一性会不等于B相对于A的％氨基酸序列同一性。除非另有明确说明，本文中使用的所有％氨基酸序列同一性值都是依照上一段所述，使用ALIGN-2计算机程序获得的。
如本文中使用的，术语“治疗”和“处理”指获得期望的药理和/或生理效果。所述效果可以是完全或部分预防疾病或其症状，和/或部分或完全治愈疾病和/或其症状，并且包括：(a)预防疾病在受试者体内发生，所述受试者可以具有疾病的素因，但是尚未诊断为具有疾病；(b)抑制疾病，即阻滞其形成；和(c)减轻疾病和/或其症状，即引起疾病和/或其症状消退。

“治疗有效量”或“有效量”指在对哺乳动物或其它受试者施用以治疗疾病时足以实现对疾病的所述预防和/或治疗的纤溶酶原的量。“治疗有效量”会根据所使用的纤溶酶原、要治疗的受试者的疾病和/或其症状的严重程度以及年龄、体重等而变化。
本发明纤溶酶原的制备
纤溶酶原可以从自然界分离并纯化用于进一步的治疗用途，也可以通过标准的化学肽合成技术来合成。当通过化学合成多肽时，可以经液相或固相进行合成。固相多肽合成(SPPS)(其中将序列的C末端氨基酸附接于不溶性支持物，接着序贯添加序列中剩余的氨基酸)是适合纤溶酶原化学合成的方法。各种形式的SPPS，诸如Fmoc和Boc可用于合成纤溶酶原。用于固相合成的技术描述于Barany和Solid-Phase Peptide Synthesis；第3-284页 于The Peptides：Analysis，Synthesis，Biology.第2卷：Special Methods in Peptide Synthesis，Part A.，Merrifield，等J.Am.Chem.Soc.，85：2149-2156(1963)；Stewart等，Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis，2nd ed.Pierce Chem.Co.，Rockford，Ill.(1984)；和Ganesan A.2006 Mini Rev.Med Chem.6：3-10和Camarero JA等2005 Protein Pept Lett.12：723-8中。简言之，用其上构建有肽链的功能性单元处理小的不溶性多孔珠。在偶联/去保护的重复循环后，将附接的固相游离N末端胺与单个受N保护的氨基酸单元偶联。然后，将此单元去保护，露出可以与别的氨基酸附接的新的N末端胺。肽保持固定在固相上，之后将其切掉。
可以使用标准重组方法来生产本发明的纤溶酶原。例如，将编码纤溶酶原的核酸插入表达载体中，使其与表达载体中的调控序列可操作连接。表达调控序列包括但不限于启动子(例如天然关联的或异源的启动子)、信号序列、增强子元件、和转录终止序列。表达调控可以是载体中的真核启动子系统，所述载体能够转化或转染真核宿主细胞(例如COS或CHO细胞)。一旦将载体掺入合适的宿主中，在适合于核苷酸序列的高水平表达及纤溶酶原的收集和纯化的条件下维持宿主。
合适的表达载体通常在宿主生物体中作为附加体或作为宿主染色体DNA的整合部分复制。通常，表达载体含有选择标志物(例如氨苄青霉素抗性、潮霉素抗性、四环素抗性、卡那霉素抗性或新霉素抗性)以有助于对外源用期望的DNA序列转化的那些细胞进行检测。
大肠杆菌(Escherichia coli)是可以用于克隆主题抗体编码多核苷酸的原核宿主细胞的例子。适合于使用的其它微生物宿主包括杆菌，诸如枯草芽孢杆菌(Bacillus subtilis)和其他肠杆菌科(enterobacteriaceae)，诸如沙门氏菌属(Salmonella)、沙雷氏菌属(Serratia)、和各种假单胞菌属(Pseudomonas)物种。在这些原核宿主中，也可以生成表达载体，其通常会含有与宿主细胞相容的表达控制序列(例如复制起点)。另外，会存在许多公知的启动子，诸如乳糖启动子系统，色氨酸(trp)启动子系统，beta-内酰胺酶启动子系统，或来自噬菌体λ的启动子系统。启动子通常会控制表达，任选在操纵基因序列的情况中，并且具有核糖体结合位点序列等，以启动并完成转录和翻译。
其他微生物，诸如酵母也可用于表达。酵母(例如酿酒酵母(S.cerevisiae))和毕赤酵母(Pichia)是合适的酵母宿主细胞的例子，其中合适的载体根据需要具有表达控制序列(例如启动子)、复制起点、终止序列等。典型的启动子包含3-磷酸甘油酸激酶和其它糖分解酶。诱导型酵母启动于特别包括来自醇脱氢酶、异细胞色素C、和负责麦芽糖和半乳糖利用的酶的启动子。
在微生物外，哺乳动物细胞(例如在体外细胞培养物中培养的哺乳动物细胞)也可以用于表达并生成本发明的抗-Tau抗体(例如编码主题抗-Tau抗体的多核苷酸)。参见Winnacker，From Genes to Clones，VCH Publishers，N.Y.，N.Y.(1987)。合适的哺乳动物宿主细胞包括CHO细胞系、各种Cos细胞系、HeLa细胞、骨髓瘤细胞系、和经转化的B细胞或杂交瘤。用于这些细胞的表达载体可以包含表达控制序列，如复制起点，启动子和增强子(Queen等，Immunol.Rev.89：49(1986))，以及必需的加工信息位点，诸如核糖体结合位点，RNA剪接位点，多聚腺苷酸化位点，和转录终止子序列。合适的表达控制序列的例子是白免疫球蛋白基因、SV40、腺病毒、牛乳头瘤病毒、巨细胞病毒等衍生的启动子。参见Co等，J.Immunol.148：1149(1992)。
一旦合成(化学或重组方式)，可以依照本领域的标准规程，包括硫酸铵沉淀，亲和柱，柱层析，高效液相层析(HPLC)，凝胶电泳等来纯化本发明所述的纤溶酶原。该纤溶酶原是基本上纯的，例如至少约80％至85％纯的，至少约85％至90％纯的，至少约90％至95％纯的，或98％至99％纯的或更纯的，例如不含污染物，所述污染物如细胞碎片，除主题抗体以外的大分子，等等。
药物配制剂
可以通过将具有所需纯度的纤溶酶原与可选的药用载体，赋形剂，或稳定剂(Remington′s Pharmaceutical Sciences，16版，Osol，A.ed.(1980))混合形成冻干制剂或水溶液制备治疗配制剂。可接受的载体、赋形剂、稳定剂在所用剂量及浓度下对受者无毒性，并包括缓冲剂例如磷酸盐，柠檬酸盐及其它有机酸；抗氧化剂包括抗坏血酸和蛋氨酸；防腐剂(例如十八烷基二甲基苄基氯化铵；氯化己烷双胺；氯化苄烷铵(benzalkonium chloride)，苯索氯铵；酚、丁醇或苯甲醇；烷基对羟基苯甲酸酯如甲基或丙基对羟基苯 甲酸酯；邻苯二酚；间苯二酚；环己醇；3-戊醇；间甲酚)；低分子量多肽(少于约10个残基)；蛋白质如血清白蛋白，明胶或免疫球蛋白；亲水聚合物如聚乙烯吡咯烷酮；氨基酸如甘氨酸，谷氨酰胺、天冬酰胺、组氨酸、精氨酸或赖氨酸；单糖，二糖及其它碳水化合物包括葡萄糖、甘露糖、或糊精；螯合剂如EDTA；糖类如蔗糖、甘露醇、岩藻糖或山梨醇；成盐反离子如钠；金属复合物(例如锌-蛋白复合物)；和/或非离子表面活性剂，例如TWEENTM，PLURONICSTM或聚乙二醇(PEG)。优选冻干的抗-VEGF抗体配制剂在WO 97/04801中描述，其包含在本文中作为参考。
本发明的配制剂也可含有需治疗的具体病症所需的一种以上的活性化合物，优选活性互补并且相互之间没有副作用的那些。例如，抗高血压的药物，抗心律失常的药物，治疗糖尿病的药物等。
本发明的纤溶酶原可包裹在通过诸如凝聚技术或界面聚合而制备的微胶囊中，例如，可置入在胶质药物传送系统(例如，脂质体，白蛋白微球，微乳剂，纳米颗粒和纳米胶囊)中或置入粗滴乳状液中的羟甲基纤维素或凝胶-微胶囊和聚-(甲基丙烯酸甲酯)微胶囊中。这些技术公开于Remington′s Pharmaceutical Sciences 16th edition，Osol，A.Ed.(1980)。
用于体内给药的本发明的纤溶酶原必需是无菌的。这可以通过在冷冻干燥和重新配制之前或之后通过除菌滤膜过滤而轻易实现。
本发明的纤溶酶原可制备缓释制剂。缓释制剂的适当实例包括具有一定形状且含有糖蛋白的固体疏水聚合物半通透基质，例如膜或微胶囊。缓释基质实例包括聚酯、水凝胶(如聚(2-羟基乙基-异丁烯酸酯)(Langer等，J.Biomed.Mater.Res.，15：167-277(1981)；Langer，Chem.Tech.，12：98-105(1982))或聚(乙烯醇)，聚交酯(美国专利3773919，EP 58,481)，L-谷氨酸与γ乙基-L-谷氨酸的共聚物(Sidman，等，Biopolymers 22：547(1983))，不可降解的乙烯-乙烯乙酸酯(ethylene-vinyl acetate)(Langer，等，出处同上)，或可降解的乳酸-羟基乙酸共聚物如Lupron DepotTM(由乳酸-羟基乙酸共聚物和亮氨酰脯氨酸(leuprolide)乙酸酯组成的可注射的微球体)，以及聚D-(-)-3-羟丁酸。聚合物如乙烯-乙酸乙烯酯和乳酸-羟基乙酸能持续释放分子100天以上，而一些水凝胶释放蛋白的时间却较短。可以根据相关机理来设计使蛋白稳定的合理策略。例如，如果发现凝聚的机理是通过硫代二硫键互换而形成分子间S-S键，则可通过修饰巯基残基、从酸性溶液中冻干、控 制湿度、采用合适的添加剂、和开发特定的聚合物基质组合物来实现稳定。
给药和剂量
