  • Oxidation PON itself is a strong oxidant. Under acidic conditions, nitrogen dioxide and hydroxyl radicals are rapidly decomposed. Hydroxyl radicals are stronger oxidants and can oxidatively degrade almost all organic substances. In the living body, PON can react with many enzymes, proteins, cytokines, iron/sulfur centers, sulfhydryl groups, lipids, etc. to cause oxidative damage, causing cell function damage and apoptosis; it can also reduce the ability of glutathione to remove free radicals. The mechanism creates a vicious circle. PON oxidation may cause various diseases, such as acute chronic inflammation, sepsis, traumatic ischemia, arteriosclerosis, nerve regeneration disorders and so on.
  • Nitrolation PON can react with the tyrosine in the protein to generate nitrotyrosine, which affects the function of the protein, causing DNA breakage and other consequences.

  • Sepsis research on the treatment of sepsis reflects the progress of our human understanding of pathophysiology and host-microbe interactions. In the early days, people mainly focused on microorganisms and their pathogenicity. In the 1980s, with the implementation of molecular cloning and sequencing of human inflammatory genes, the study of sepsis focused more on the host's response to invading pathogens.
  • sepsis is defined as an organ dysfunction that threatens the host’s life due to the imbalance of the host’s response to infection. Its clinical manifestations are fever and rapid breathing , Changes in the level of consciousness and low blood pressure, accompanied by symptoms related to the disease such as pneumonia caused by lung infection, kidney infection, urinary tract infection, etc.
  • Inflammation is the host's defense response to pathogen invasion. Therefore, the clinically preferred treatment for removing pathogens is to use antibiotics or antiviral drugs to reduce the external stimulation of pathogen antigens. Viral infectious diseases develop to the stage of immune disorders, and severe inflammation will occur. Some anti-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory treatments reduce the number of macrophages in the inflamed area, and the decision to improve immunity or reduce immune response is often difficult. Common anti-inflammatory drugs include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and glucocorticoids. When severe inflammation occurs, glucocorticoids are often used clinically, but for sepsis, the use of cortisol has no substantial benefit.

Description

用于治疗非洲猪瘟的药物组合物及其用途
本申请要求2019年08月06日向中国国家知识产权局提交的专利申请号为201910719544.6,发明名称为“安全的一氧化氮组合物及其用途”的在先申请的优先权,上述在先申请的全文通过引用的方式结合于本申请中。
技术领域
本发明属于医药领域,具体涉及一种可在动物体内产生一氧化氮的药物组合物,它能提供安全足量的一氧化氮,用于疾病的预防和治疗。
背景技术
非洲猪瘟(African swine fever,ASF)是由非洲猪瘟病毒(African swine fevervirus,ASFV)引起的一种急性、热性、高度接触性、致死性动物传染病。ASFV的主要宿主为各品种的家猪、非洲和欧亚野猪、钝缘蜱等,其中疣猪和灌木猪均可被感染,但不表现临床症状,疣猪等非洲野猪和钝缘蜱为ASFV的宿主。根据ASFV的毒力,ASF的临床症状和感染过程有显著差异,最急性和急性型感染死亡率为100%。
非洲猪瘟无有效的预防疫苗,无特效治疗药物。各阶段家猪、野猪和软蜱是非洲猪瘟自然宿主,可在家猪和野猪之间直接传播,也可通过蜱虫叮咬传播,还可以通过污染了病毒的泔水、饲料以及腌制的干火腿等猪肉产品跨国家和地区传播。发现疫情,必须进行扑杀,是全球防范内危害猪群最严重的传染病之一,是我国重点防范的头号外来动物疫病。
人类的历史中新的病毒不断出现,已知的病毒不断变异,面对新的传染性病毒时,由于人体内没有相对应的特异性抗体,导致类周期性的出现大规模的感染。人类的几次流感病毒大流行,带走了很多人的生命。2009年美国和墨西哥爆发了H1N1流感病毒,2020年全球爆发COVID-19病毒,不同个体感染相同的流感病毒,结果却不相同,有些病人会失去生命,而有些却几乎没有症状,尽管病毒的毒力可能会有所不同,但宿主的免疫状态也很重要。
当需要预防和治疗流感病毒感染时,抗体是最好的手段,但是流感病毒发展迅速,抗体对季节性流感病毒的选择性压力推动了逃逸突变体的出现,这些突变体可以在早期菌株免疫的社区中引起流行病,这就是为什么季节性流感疫苗需要经常更新的原因。不幸的是抗体反应的特异性也为流感大流行的出现奠定了基础。上个世纪,已经发生了多次流感病毒或冠状病毒大流行,包括,A(H1N1),A(H2N2),A(H3N2),A(H1N1),非典新型冠状病毒和COVID-19,上述流感或冠状病毒感染分别发生在1918、1957、1968、2009、2001和2020年。有趣的是上述的流感病毒感染流行发展中,宿主患病的严重程度均差异巨大。有学者证明免疫细胞中,特别是T细胞感染与激活的差异,导致抵抗流感病毒的能力差异[Kelso,Anne.CD4+T cells limit the damage in influenza[J].Nature Medicine,2012,18(2):200-202.]。
有证据表明,T细胞可以介导交叉保护免疫,T细胞无法预防病毒感染,但它们可以通过识别与感染的上皮细胞或抗原递呈细胞表面上的人类白细胞抗原(HLA)分子复合的病毒蛋白(表位)片段来感知被感染的细胞。由于T细胞优先看到源自病毒保守内部蛋白的表位,因此交叉保护性免疫已被归因于预先存在的细胞毒性CD8+T细胞,这些细胞会杀死递呈这些保守表位的病毒感染细胞,减少因缺乏抗体保护的大流行病毒感染的时间和严重程度。
非洲猪瘟病毒具有独特的性质,导致不会从感染中恢复过来的猪中诱导中和抗体,进一步的抵抗病毒的复发。未中和抗体的存在导致了非洲猪瘟可能存在ADE(抗体依赖性增强)效应,即抗体的存在不仅不阻止病毒的感染,反而加剧的病毒的感染以及有关疾病的病理进程。同时未中和抗体 的存在导致,受到减毒疫苗免疫保护猪中持续的抗原阳性。在综述[Dixon L K,Islam M,Nash R,et al.African swine fever virus evasion of host defences[J].Virus research,2019.]中,作者描述分析了非洲猪瘟病毒的免疫逃脱策略,SFV pA179 L Bcl-2家族蛋白结合并抑制一些仅BH3的结构域促凋亡蛋白。pA224 L IAP家族蛋白结合并抑制caspase 3并激活NF-kB信号传导,从而增加抗凋亡基因(包括cFLIP,cIAP2和c-rel)的表达。上述机制的存在导致非洲猪瘟病毒能够抑制感染细胞的凋亡从而保证病毒的继续复制,而却通过TNF-α诱导未感染的淋巴细胞的凋亡,急性ASFV疾病的主要特征就是淋巴组织和血液中B和T淋巴细胞的大量凋亡。
由于抗生素的发现,人们对于细菌感染已经具有了非常好的临床治疗手段,而对于病毒,目前还没有很好的手段去治疗。目前人类对于病毒的治疗药物主要分为两类,M2离子通道阻断剂以及神经氨酸酶抑制剂,M2离子通道阻断剂存在整体的病毒抵抗效应以及神经系统的副作用导致临床应用不是很理想,而神经氨酸酶抑制剂虽然能诱导病毒,但是效果比较弱。近年来出现了大量的病毒爆发,禽流感病毒、非洲猪瘟病毒、非典型肺炎病毒,这些病毒的毒理学后果非常严重,对于患者或患病动物医生也无法拿出良好的治疗手段。不仅新病毒无良好的治疗手段,很多长期存在的病毒人们也束手无策,包括登革热病毒、艾滋病病毒等等。治疗病毒最佳方案就是预防,也就是疫苗,通过人体的免疫系统达到预防病毒的效果,以上事实也说明了对于病毒的治疗,开发以抗生素那种直接杀死或抑制病原体的药物的思路其实是事倍功半。
人们需要以新的思路来开发抗病毒药物,利用人体免疫系统达到治疗病毒感染就是其中重要的方向,特别是针对NO和免疫的有关药物,以实现通用性强的抗病毒效果。
一氧化氮气体无色无味,能溶于水,醇类,脂肪。上世纪80年代以前,一氧化氮只是一种普通而无用的化学气体,人们只知道它存在于汽车尾气和某些化学过程的气体污染物中。在1980年之前的27中,人们发现了内皮细胞产生一种物质(称为“内皮源性舒张因子”),1986年Ignarro提交的第一篇实验论文,声称内皮源性舒张因子(EDRF)为一氧化氮。这些成果激起了人们极大的热情来关注和研究NO。它快速的进出细胞,传导信号调节血管扩张,神经传导,大脑发育甚至学习与记忆,它能够强化免疫,杀死部分外来微生物,它能够降低血压,预防中风,心脏病,肿瘤,老年痴呆。
NO是由L-精氨酸在一氧化氮合酶(NOS)催化下,经过NADPH还原而成,一氧化氮合酶可以分为内皮型一氧化氮合酶(eNOS)、诱导性一氧化氮合酶(iNOS)、神经型一氧化氮合酶(nNOS)。它们分别在人体不同的组织细胞中,分别参与了心、脑血管系统的调节、免疫调节、神经系统的调节。
参与免疫的NO可以由多种免疫细胞产生(树突状细胞,NK细胞,巨噬细胞,嗜酸粒细胞和中性粒细胞),在iNOS表达时,可产生大量的NO,作为人体主动防御的机制。有证据表明NO能够抑制病毒的复制,相关机制包括导致病毒刺突蛋白棕榈化减少,抑制病毒蛋白酶,阻碍病毒蛋白和核酸合成。
一氧化氮合酶是一种二聚体,其在氧化条件下会解偶联,从而导致原本合成NO的反应路径转变为产生O2-,NO3-(PON)等活性氧自由基(ROS)。而NO本身也可以与活性氧自由基(ROS)反应生成活性氮(RNS)。
NO在体内跟超氧阴离子迅速反应生产过氧亚硝酸。在酸性条件下,又会迅速分解产生羟基自由基。过氧化亚硝酸是氧化性极强的物质,能够导致蛋白质硝基化、导致DNA链断裂。种种原因导致生物体内产生很多氧化性的自由基,既包括活性氧也包括活性氮。这些自由基的存在相当程度的破坏了过往的平衡。这些自由基中,影响最大的当属过氧亚硝基阴离子(PON)。其生产途径主要是一氧化氮跟超氧阴离子反应获得。
PON在人体内的作用大部分都是负面的。包括而不限于:
1.氧化作用:PON本身是一种强氧化剂。在酸性条件下迅速分解出二氧化氮和羟基自由基。羟 基自由基是更强的氧化剂,几乎可以氧化降解所有有机物。在生命体内,PON能够跟很多酶、蛋白质、细胞因子等的铁/硫中心,巯基,脂质等反应造成氧化损害,造成细胞功能损伤和凋亡;还能够降低谷胱甘肽清除自由基的机制,造成恶性循环。PON氧化作用可能引起各种疾病发生,如急性慢性炎症,败血症,外伤性局部缺血,动脉硬化,神经再生性失调等。
2.硝基化作用:PON能够跟蛋白质中的酪氨酸反应生成硝基酪氨酸而影响蛋白质的功能,造成DNA断裂等后果。
3.影响能量代:酶蛋白在氧化作用和硝基化作用下活性降低。如线粒体的ATP合成酶,乌头酶活性受到抑制,导致能量减少。PON是多聚ADP-核糖合成酶的强烈激活物。该酶激活后会启动无效的修复循环,导致能量池迅速耗尽。细胞代谢和膜的完整性被破坏,导致细胞死亡。
4.干扰钙的运转:Na+/Ca2+交换蛋白的巯基被氧化,发生功能障碍,导致细胞内钙超载,造成功能障碍。
当然,可耐受剂量的PON也表现出正面的作用,比如抵抗病毒,病菌,病原虫,癌细胞等对人体的危害。
NO这个1992年的明星分子,实际上在生命体内无处不在。它是免疫系统的信使,调节血流,神经传导,大脑发育等方面起到重要的作用;它可以杀死病菌,病毒,病原虫,癌细胞,是非特异性免疫非常重要的组成部分。被NO杀死的外来微生物或者异常细胞自溶后可以释放大量的抗原物质,启动特异性免疫。NO还会使机体释放出很多细胞因子比如白细胞介素,干扰素,肿瘤坏死因子TNF,集落刺激因子CSF等,调节免疫应答。
NO跟超氧阴离子等自由基反应生成过氧化亚硝酸盐(PON),氧化性极强,具有特别的硝基化能力,积累到一定程度就会造成炎症,释放出影响病理进程的细胞因子。PON通过蛋白质硝基化破坏蛋白质功能,使DNA断裂,促使病毒变异,破坏免疫平衡,唤醒原癌基因,促发癌症。
NO参与免疫调控,急性炎症反应是一个复杂但高度协调的事件序列,涉及分子,细胞和生理学改变,其中如果宿主对感染的反应失调,进一步的产生异常免疫反应,从而产生以器官功能障碍的综合征即为脓毒症(Sepsis)。脓毒症的治疗的研究反映了我们人类对病理生理学和宿主-微生物相互作用的理解的进步。早期人们主要关注在微生物及其致病性上,在20世纪80年代,随着分子克隆的实施和人类炎症基因的测序,研究脓毒症更专注于宿主对入侵病原体的反应。
根据2016年脓毒症3的国际会议(The Third International Consensus Definitions for Sepsis)将脓毒症定义为由于宿主对感染的反应失调,而威胁宿主生命的器官功能障碍,其临床表现为发烧,呼吸加快,意识水平改变和血压低,并且伴随该病相关的症状比如肺部感染导致的肺炎、肾脏感染、尿路感染等。
尽管人类对脓毒症起源,进展的认识有了极大的提高,但是脓毒症的死亡率依然十分高,根据文章[Hotchkiss R S,Moldawer L L,Opal S M,et al.Sepsis and septic shock[J].Nature reviews Disease primers,2016,2(1):1-21.]所述,对高收入国家的数据进行的初步推断表明,全球每年发生3150万例脓毒症和1940万例严重脓毒症,每年可能有530万人死亡。在许多情况下,尤其是在患有慢性疾病(例如癌症,充血性心力衰竭和慢性阻塞性肺疾病)的患者中,官方的死亡记录通常报告的是潜在疾病,而不是直接的死亡原因(脓毒症),这可能使得脓毒症死亡率明显被低估。这些数字只是估计,因为有关的发病率和低收入、中等收入国家的脓毒症死亡率记录仍然匮乏。
炎症是宿主对病原体入侵的防御反应,因此临床上优先采用的清除病原体的治疗方案是,使用抗生素药物或抗病毒药物来减少病原体抗原的外来刺激。病毒感染性疾病发展到免疫失调阶段,就会发生严重的炎症。一些终止炎症或者抗炎的治疗会减少炎症区域的巨噬细胞数量,提高免疫或是降低免疫反应的决策往往是困难的。常见的抗炎药物有非甾体抗炎药,糖皮质激素等。在严重炎症发生时,临床上往往使用糖皮质激素,然而对脓毒症来说,皮质醇的使用却没有实质益处,根据一 项随机对照试验[Annane D,Cariou A,Maxime V,et al.Corticosteroid treatment and intensive insulin therapy for septic shock in adults:a randomized controlled trial[J].Jama,2010,303(4):341-348.]表明氟氢可的松并没有降低脓毒症患者的死亡率。而之后的萃取分析[Wang C,Sun J,Zheng J,et al.Low-dose hydrocortisone therapy attenuates septic shock in adult patients but does not reduce 28-day mortality:a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials[J].Anesthesia&Analgesia,2014,118(2):346-357.]也说明氢化可的松并不能降低严重感染患者或脓毒症的死亡率,目前临床上对严重感染患者,使用类固醇是有争议的。
过去20年内,人们一直尝试弄清维生素C与脓毒症之间的关系,脓毒症患者一般具有非常低的血清维生素C水平,人们认为危重病人低维生素C水平与血管加压,肾损伤,多器官功能障碍和死亡率增加相关。通过研究维生素C的作用机制,发现多种可能对脓毒症有作用的机制,包括抗氧化、抗炎、微循环、抗血栓、增加肾上腺敏感性、促进伤口愈合等。然而和预期不同的是,临床上使用维生素C未见具有显著的效果,根据[常雪妮,李敏,张正馨,et al.维生素C在脓毒症及脓毒性休克患者治疗中疗效的Meta分析[J].中华危重症医学杂志(电子版),2019,012(001):37-41.]统计,静脉输注维生素C不能改善脓毒症及脓毒性休克患者的病死率。
5-甲基四氢叶酸是叶酸在人体的活性形式,其并未观察到直接的抗病毒作用,目前叶酸与病毒的直接联系主要在叶酸受体α(FRalpha),其已被描述为介导包括埃博拉等病毒进入细胞的因子。5-甲基四氢叶酸具有直接的抗氧化作用,通过二氢叶酸还原酶的作用促进BH2转化为BH4,众所周知BH4是eNOS必要的辅助因子。已经有人证明了5-甲基四氢叶酸通过促进eNOS,有利于预防和保护心血管疾病,但几乎没有研究报道5-甲基四氢叶酸在先天免疫激活的条件下对iNOS及巨噬细胞分泌NO的影响。
L-精氨酸是NO内源性合成的前体,在一氧化氮合成酶作用下,会反应产生NO和L-瓜氨酸,尽管L-精氨酸只有一小部分通过这种途径在体内代谢,但是急性炎症的状况下,由巨噬细胞的iNOS所产生的NO会大大超过人体的正常剂量。L-精氨酸虽然是非必需氨基酸,可以在在脯氨酸,谷氨酰胺或谷氨酸的代谢途径中内源性合成(通过全身蛋白质降解过程),在肾脏中,瓜氨酸通过精氨酸琥珀酸合酶和精氨酸琥珀酸裂合酶的作用而转化为精氨酸,然而当精氨酸内源性合成不足以满足生物体的代谢需求时,其在不同的病理生理条件下非常重要。

本发明中,安全量的一氧化氮是指,一氧化氮中转变为以过氧化亚硝酸为代表的毒性自由基、活性氮的比例可控,能够满足使用一氧化氮预防和治疗疾病的安全需求。这些自由基在体内严重影响物质和能量的代谢,影响甚至破坏细胞和组织的功能,显著增加基因突变的几率,还是很多疾病发生的原因。

叶酸的主要功能为碳的传递者,参与DNA的甲基化,参与嘌呤和胸腺嘧啶的合成,进一步合成DNA和RNA。而病毒以DNA或RNA的结构,在宿主细胞中大量复制,充足的叶酸供给应该有利于病毒的复制与传播,而实验结果让人意外,5-甲基四氢叶酸联合一氧化氮增量剂,反而抑制了病 毒。本发明首次提出5-甲基四氢叶酸和精氨酸等组合物在微生物感染,特别是病毒感染的应用。
iNOS是免疫系统中生成NO的关键酶,现有技术已知,该酶氧化会导致二聚体解偶联,使生成NO的反应路径转变为生成自由基,活性氮的反应路径。5-甲基四氢叶酸是内源性的抗氧化剂,能够激活NADPH,从而达到很好的抗氧化效果,具有直接的抗氧化作用。本发明组合物能够使得机体在病原体感染下,产生NO的同时避免产生不利于机体的自由基,包括活性氧(ROS)以及活性氮(RNS)。本发明已经验证了,包括5-甲基四氢叶酸或其盐,去氢抗坏血酸,NMN在内的抗氧化剂能够消除过氧化亚硝酸盐,并不影响iNOS表达的功能。

发明详述
NO诱导的HIF-1α的稳定化和磷酸化的p53水平被活性氧减少[Thomas DD,Ridnour LA,Espey MG,et al.Superoxide fluxes limit nitric oxide-induced signaling.J Biol Chem.2006;281(36):25984–25993.],事实上,添加抗氧化剂对亚硝化信号具有保护作用[Edirisinghe I,Arunachalam G,Wong C,et al.Cigarette-smoke-induced oxidative/nitrosative stress impairs VEGF-and fluid-shear-stress-mediated signaling in endothelial cells[retracted in:Rahman I.Antioxid Redox Signal.2013 Apr 2018(12):1535].Antioxid Redox Signal.2010;12(12):1355–1369.],因此NO水平和随后的下游信号传导被活性氧调节,也是调节氧化还原信号的一个因素。
iNOS的表达需要同时激活STAT和NF-κB,NF-κB充当炎症的主要开关,与H 2O 2产生有关,NF-κB受到氧化还原调节。绝大部分的还原剂或抗氧化剂都会某种程度上上具有抗炎的作用,抑制NF-κB通路,能够抑制iNOS的表达,在我们的一个实施例中,我们比较了不同抗氧化剂对LPS诱导下的巨噬细胞表达iNOS的影响,结果表明5-甲基四氢叶酸、去氢抗坏血酸、BH 4、谷胱甘肽、烟酰胺单核苷酸在10μmol/L的浓度下对iNOS的表达几乎不影响。考察上述抗氧化剂对过氧化亚硝酸盐的反应性,结果表明5-甲基四氢叶酸、去氢抗坏血酸、NMN均具有较高的消除过氧化亚硝酸盐的能力。已经证明在低氧条件下,淋巴细胞的免疫功能被抑制并且凋亡率增加,由于缺乏活性氧,它阻碍了iNOS的合成,破坏了iNOS和a-actinin4的结合,阻止了iNOS附着在肌动蛋白细胞骨架 上。因此,抗氧化剂的存在可能会导致iNOS的下调。而本发明却发现,如下抗氧化剂:5-甲基四氢叶酸、去氢抗坏血酸、NMN具有独特的性质,它们在一定浓度下不会降低iNOS的表达,却具有较好的清除过氧化亚硝酸盐的能力。上述抗氧化剂均具有在抗原激活免疫后,不降低免疫应答能力,特别是不对感染过程中iNOS表达产生负面影响,且还会降低过氧化亚硝酸盐的产生,NO具有抑制细胞凋亡的作用,通过S-亚硝基化作用抑制caspases-8,caspases-9或caspases-3,而过氧化亚硝酸盐则会通过DNA损伤以及p53的上调促进细胞的凋亡。
NO对感染微生物具有直接和间接的作用,NO能够直接破坏病原微生物的酶结构,特别是[Fe-S]簇,在病毒感染中,表达NO能够抑制病毒的酶活性,抑制病毒的复制。NO的直接毒性尤其是细胞外抗病毒活性已经得到充分的证明,但是NO对免疫功能的调节的间接作用则复杂很多。有研究证明流感病毒感染的iNOS缺陷小鼠几乎没有肺炎的组织病理学证据,因此该学者认为宿主的iNOS可能比病毒复制对肺炎的贡献更大[Karupiah G,Chen JH,Mahalingam S,Nathan CF,MacMicking JD.Rapid interferon gamma-dependent clearance of influenza A virus and protection from consolidating pneumonitis in nitric oxide synthase 2-deficient mice.J Exp Med.1998;188(8):1541–1546.]。在内毒素血症中,早期使用的iNOS抑制剂治疗的临床前模型结果令人失望[Hauser B,Bracht H,Matejovic M,et al.Nitric oxide synthase inhibition in sepsis?Lessons learned from large-animal studies[J].Anesthesia&Analgesia,2005,101(2):488-498.]迄今为止已经描述了有益的和有害的效果,人们疑惑NO是感染的积极因素还是消极因素。
人们观察到外源性的NO会抑制T淋巴细胞的增殖,外源性NO(即,NO不是由T细胞产生的本身)抑制增殖或甚至引起T细胞的死亡[Bogdan C.Regulation of lymphocytes by nitric oxide.[J].Methods Mol Biol,2011,677:375-393.]。缺乏重要抗氧化剂机制的小鼠(即GSNOR)由于过度的S-亚硝基化和淋巴细胞凋亡而在外周显示出T和B细胞的明显缺乏。在另一方面,少量的NO支T细胞亚群,尤其是Th1细胞和FoxP3的阴性调节性T细胞群,可有效抑制Th17细胞分化。此外,最近的研究表明,外源NO也调节Th9和Th17细胞。
在本发明的一个实施例中发现,细胞培养液中5-甲基四氢叶酸在15.625μm的浓度下,几乎不影响巨噬细胞NO的分泌,更为有趣的是,在未加LPS刺激时,5-甲基四氢叶酸在低浓度时,发现可促进NO的分泌。
本发明中筛选的NO减毒剂与NO增量剂的联合使用显示出能够显著增加抗原刺激后CD4+T细胞增殖的活性。现有研究以表明,病毒清除是由抗原特异性CD8+效应T细胞介导的,而记忆CD4+T细胞在维持CD8+T和B细胞记忆反应中起到重要作用[Stambas J,Guillonneau C,Kedzierska K,et al.Killer T cells in influenza[J].Pharmacology&therapeutics,2008,120(2):186-196.]。另外,近期还有研究表明,CD4+和CD8+T细胞均与肺炎的控制有关,并通过产生白介素10来限制过度的组织损伤。因此本发明的含有上述NO减毒剂与NO增量剂的药物组合物能够用于病毒清除和抗炎治疗中。
本发明中精氨酸作为NO的增量物,与5-甲基四氢叶酸联合使用时,产生了意想不到的抗病毒、治疗脓毒症的效果。在一个实施例中,本发明的组合物能够显著的刺激小鼠胸腺和脾脏的T细胞的增殖,施用精氨酸和5-甲基四氢叶酸的组合,相对于仅添加精氨酸,CD4细胞的增殖明显提高,说明组合物能够提高效应CD4+T细胞的增殖能力。正如背景技术中所讲,病毒特异性记忆CD4 +T细胞的数量可以预测人类感染流感病毒的严重程度,病毒特异性T细胞数量与疾病的严重程度成反比。因此本发明的组合物具有治疗流感病毒感染的潜力,可降低患病的严重程度。前已经知道,过氧化亚硝酸盐影响细胞的免疫反应,有研究支持过氧化亚硝酸盐阻止了抑制炎症反应和修复的反馈能力,容易使得宿主在感染中免疫失调。使用的组合物既能提高宿主免疫能力而且维持了炎症的负反馈机制,能够使得宿主能够抵御感染,特别是病毒感染。
现有的病毒感冒药,多数用于缓解症状、减轻感冒的痛苦,但是不能可靠且明显的缩短病程。而本发明的上述药物组合物对感冒治疗产生了颠覆性的效果:起效快,针对40多名试用者的回访结 果,服用组合物之后一般48小时内感冒症状消失,虽然没有进行双盲对照的临床实验,但是有关的试用组合物的回馈结果也超乎预期。
进一步的,本发明在动物模型中验证了组合物的抗病毒感染效果,结果表明组合物能够保护小鼠的免疫功能,减轻流感病毒感染肺部的病理状态,减轻肺组织损伤。5-甲基四氢叶酸与精氨酸的组合物能够明显降低感染所致的炎性因子的水平,显著降低感染后5天肺部病毒滴度,提示组合物具有一定的抗病毒作用。此外,组合物的使用能够显著提高感染小鼠脾脏及胸腺的CD4 +和CD8 +T细胞的水平,提示虽然组合物降低炎性因子但是未降低宿主的免疫力。肺组织切片的结果表明组合物能够减少肺组织损伤和炎症状态,在对于感冒病毒的宿主模型中显示了非常好的疗效。
最近的研究表明,NO能够促进T细胞受体(TCR)介导的免疫突触(IS)信号[Garcia-Ortiz A,Martin-Cofreces N B,Ibiza S,et al.eNOS S-nitrosylatesβ-actin on Cys374 and regulates PKC-θat the immune synapse by impairing actin binding to profilin-1[J].PLoS biology,2017,15(4):e2000653.],IS对于调节T细胞活化、分泌和细胞间免疫信号通讯非常重要,这也是组合物能够显著提高T细胞数量的可能原因。
在本发明的一个实施例中,将组合物应用在非洲猪瘟病毒感染猪的治疗,获得了非常好的效果,显著提高了感染非洲猪瘟病毒的猪的存活率,进一步证明了组合物抗病毒的潜力。
此外,本发明发现,本发明上述组合物能够显著保护高剂量病毒的攻毒实验中宿主的生存,显示一定的治疗脓毒症的潜力。
在过去的三十年中,已经进行了100多次Ⅱ期和Ⅲ期临床试验,以测试各种新型药物和治疗干预措施,以期改善严重脓毒症和败血性休克患者的预后。所有这些努力最终都未能产出能够减少器官衰竭并改善脓毒症患者生存率的新型药物[Artenstein AW,Higgins TL,Opal SM.Sepsis and scientific revolutions.Crit Care Med.2013;41(12):2770–2772.]。所有这些研究都使用特定分子或途径的单一药物,由于涉及到非常复杂的免疫代谢途径,以及上千个可能靶点,以此思路筛选药物并不容易。
外源性精氨酸的补充在脓毒症的治疗中是存在争议的,由于之前人们认为NO介导的过氧化在脓毒症的病理发展起重要作用。有人假设,NO产生过程中的药学阻断剂是一种治疗脓毒症的可行策略,因此开发了NOS合酶抑制剂,但是回顾临床结果,有关抑制NOS的疗法总体上无益处。另一方面脓毒症患者精氨酸水平降低,但是增加NO的内源性供体可能导致氧化应激的增强的有害影响。本发明的组合物中5-甲基四氢叶酸与精氨酸的联合使用在临床前动物模型中取得意想不到的非常好的疗效。
本发明发现5-甲基四氢叶酸能够显著降低LPS诱导下的脓毒症小鼠的死亡率,提示5-甲基四氢叶酸对由于严重过敏导致的脓毒症的治疗可能有益。
本发明发现5-甲基四氢叶酸与精氨酸组合物能够显著降低由于感染微生物(例如,金黄色葡萄球菌)所导致的脓毒症小鼠的死亡率。脓毒症是一种高度致死性疾病,其特征在于广泛的细胞凋亡诱导的免疫细胞耗竭和之后的免疫抑制。本发明发现5-甲基四氢叶酸和精氨酸的组合可以显著提供宿主存活率,阻断CD4和CD8T细胞的凋亡,在多种细菌和病毒导致的脓毒症模型中均证明了组合物具有的疗效。
应该认识到,人体中的某些氧化性信号对感染性疾病是有益的,在保护性氧化信号和活性氧的有害作用之间存在微妙的平衡。本发明的组合物选用的抗氧化剂具有独特的性质,可以缓解病原微生物感染导致症状,且同时提高NO的水平,使得NO介导的病原体杀伤作用胜过NO触发的氧化应激机制。
T细胞确实在交叉保护中起着重要作用,在疫苗领域灭活的病毒疫苗往往针对某些病毒通透诱导特异性抗体来进行保护,而对增强交叉保护性T细胞反应的作用却很小,本发明组合物具有增强免疫反应的作用,在一个实施例中组合物的使用显著提高了接种狂犬疫苗后免疫动物的抗体水平。
本发明利用了人和动物体的免疫系统,这一天然而强大的抗病毒工具。非洲猪瘟这一烈性传染病,现有技术完全无能为力,致死率95%-100%,而使用本发明显示明确的疗效,显示组合物抗病毒感染的能力超乎预期。[Oura,C.A L.In vivo depletion of CD8+T lymphocytes abrogates protective immunity to African swine fever virus[J].Journal of General Virology,2005,86(9):2445-2450.]中报道了,减毒病毒分离株OUR/T88/3,使用该病毒作为疫苗后发现,无毒ASFV分离株OUR/T88/3的感染可以保护远亲猪免受葡萄牙ASFV强毒分离株OUR/T88/1的攻击。但是暴露于OUR/T88/3然后耗尽了CD8(+)淋巴细胞的猪不再能完全免受OUR/T88/1攻击。这表明CD8+淋巴细胞对ASFV感染的保护性免疫应答中起到了重要作用。
近年来,人们对NO在免疫力的作用认识已发生巨大的进步,除了直接对病原微生物的抑制外,还广泛调节免疫功能,除iNOS外,还必须将eNOS作为免疫条件NO的来源。因此对NO的多种功能和目标靶点的认识的补充使我们认识到针对NOS亚型的抑制或激活难以应用到临床实践,但是,本发明的组合物的临床前动物模型的结果令人鼓舞,显示NO在抗病毒和脓毒症治疗潜力。
本发明首次提出安全和足量一氧化氮应用于抗病毒感染疾病的概念,使用的组合物相互协同体现了很好的效果。在免疫系统中存在复杂的调控机制,多个信号通路或目标靶点存在有益或有害的作用,有关一氧化氮的研究论文也多达数万篇,但是研究的结论却不一致,相互矛盾,难以理清。有研究人员甚至将东方文明的“阴与阳平衡”的概念引入,已表达各种靶点机制的双刃剑的作用[Burke A J,Sullivan F J,Giles F J,et al.The yin and yang of nitric oxide in cancer progression[J].Carcinogenesis,2013,34(3):503-512.]。本发明从免疫的整体角度发明的组合物,构成十分显著的技术效果:1.可以显著提升宿主的免疫细胞水平,或者阻止免疫细胞的凋亡;2.有效降低炎症因子,降低炎症损伤;3.利用调节免疫功能来抗病毒,能够使宿主较好的抵抗二次感染;4.组合物中各个成分安全性较好。

感染当天开始称体重,小鼠体重每天固定时间测定一次。感染后3天,眼眶取静脉血100ul,制备血清、冻存。感染后5天处死小鼠,取肺、胸腺、脾脏及外周血。
血:制备血清,一部分检测细胞因子(外检),其余冻存。
肺脏:肺组织分为2份,一份(右侧肺叶)测定病毒滴度;一份(左侧肺叶的上尖端)固定,做石蜡包埋、切片并进行HE染色。
脾、胸腺:称重、拍照、细胞计数及免疫细胞染色。
1.1.6观察指标
体重变化,每天称量体重。留取样本:第5天血清样品用于检测炎性因子(使用Biolegend的LEGENDplex Mouse Inflammation Panel检测,外检)。肺脏:测量病毒滴度;做肺组织病理切片;检测肺组织中炎性因子的变化。胸腺:称重、拍照、胸腺总细胞计数、淋巴细胞染色(CD4+、CD8+T细胞)。脾脏:称重、拍照、脾脏总细胞计数、脾淋巴细胞染色分析(表面染色,B细胞、CD4+T细胞、CD8+T细胞、NK细胞、NKT细胞、单核细胞、巨噬细胞、树突状细胞、中性粒细胞)。

见说明书附图19。
结果表明,在感染流感病毒后,除正常对照组外,其他各组小鼠脾脏淋巴细胞都减少、胸腺都缩小,高剂量组胸腺变化较小。脾脏和胸腺均属于免疫器官,与小鼠免疫功能有关,胸腺缩小是导致免疫功能低下的原因之一,提示组合物可能有助于保护免疫器官,对抵抗病毒感染导致得免疫低下有一定的保护作用。肺部病理切片经HE染色后,模型组及治疗各组均呈现程度相似的淋巴细胞浸润及肺部组织结构的改变,高剂量治疗组较模型组的肺组织损伤程度略轻。提示组合物有助于减轻流感病毒感染早期肺部的病理状态,减轻肺组织损伤。
感染流感病毒后,感染后5天模型组外周血的多种细胞因子显著升高,给药组可明显降低感染所致的炎性因子的分泌。说明药物干预能够有效减低炎性因子水平,可能有助于减弱炎性因子风暴,防治炎性因子风暴所致的肺损伤。感染后5天的肺部病毒滴度,治疗组与模型组相比均呈现不同程度的下降趋势。特别是高剂量治疗组,与模型组相比病毒滴度的下降已经接近统计学的显著性差异的临界值。提示组合物降低病毒滴度能够抑制病毒在体内的复制,有一定的抗病毒作用。

结果表明,对于有明确感染的模型动物,组合物应该加入L-精氨酸。
组合物能够显著提高宿主的存活率,为了进一步验证组合物对淋巴细胞的作用,开展了独立的实验,取ICR小鼠,分别注射0.5ml金黄色葡萄球菌菌液(5×10 9CFU/ml),其中取10只模型小鼠同时腹腔注射5-甲基四氢叶酸、精氨酸的组合物溶液20mg/kg,造模24小时后,处死小鼠,收集脾脏。脾脏总细胞计数、脾淋巴细胞染色分析(表面染色,B细胞、CD4+T细胞、CD8+T细胞、NK细胞。
结果见图20,结果表明组合物可以防止败血症中CD4和CD8T细胞的凋亡,败血症小鼠在造模24小时后,败血症诱导所有类型的免疫效应细胞的凋亡,组合物阻止了CD4T,CD8T细胞以及B细胞的凋亡,但没有阻止NK细胞的减少(n=11)。这是迄今为止尚未报道组合物的作用,应强烈考虑组合物在脓毒症的治疗前景。

实施例23配方C组合物应用在非洲猪瘟的治疗
江苏省动物疫病防控中心送检样品经中国动物卫生与流行病学研究中心确诊了一例非洲猪瘟,阳性样品来源于江苏省连云港赣榆区某养殖户,该户存栏生猪300头、发病130头、死亡120多头。对死亡病猪进行解剖,病理学检查发现:肺出血,间质性肺炎等症状,对脾脏解剖发现,脾脏严重肿大,严重的脾脏肿大7倍;胃部解剖发现胃浆膜面弥漫性出血;肾脏肿胀明显,符合非洲猪瘟的症状。
将取该户3头发病猪、及10头健康猪血液,3000r/min离心,取血清加有陶珠的Roche中,加入PBS缓冲液,使用病毒DNA试剂盒提取DNA,检测确定为ASFV非洲猪瘟基因II型,为2017年俄罗斯远东地区和东欧地区播放的病毒属。使用配方C组合物介入非洲猪瘟的治疗。
配方C组合物注射剂的制备:5-甲基四氢叶酸钙与L-精氨酸与植物血凝素按按2:8:1比例混合,经过总混后,得到配方C的组合物。配方C组合物经过灭菌处理后,经生理盐水溶解,过微滤膜过滤,活性炭吸附热源,之后制备成注射剂。
对18头发病初期的猪进行隔离,相关饲料和废水、粪便进行无害化处理。患病猪体温平均在40℃,部分病猪出现皮肤充血、紫绀,并且在耳部、腹下出现多处出血点或红点,全部病猪进食不正常,食欲不振。对病猪进行血液检测发现白细胞水平较正常猪下降。
根据以上情况,对18头病猪进行配方C组合物介入治疗,每头猪每天注射含有配方C的注射液,剂量为50mg/公斤,持续2天,期间检测各猪的体温。
结果如下:

结果表明:对非洲猪瘟患病猪具有超乎预期的效果,提示配方C组合物具有非常好的抗病毒效果。结果表明7天内仅有1头猪死亡,之后由于政策要求,所有感染猪进行处死,该养殖户其他染病猪均在发病后3至4天死亡。
非洲猪瘟死亡病例解剖检测
对病死猪进行解剖,发现病死猪脾脏严重肿大,而且脾脏充血,质地变脆,易碎,肺部出现出血的现象,肺部出血较大规模出血,肺组织观察定性为间质性肺炎;胃部也同样出血,胃浆膜面弥漫性出血;肾脏肿胀明显。
取血液,静置1h后,5000r/min离心5min,吸取血清。检测IgG抗体水平。血液加入Krebs-HEPES缓冲液,维持在37℃,静置30分钟,加入L-NAME(100μM),使用电化学方法检测超氧化物,亚硝酸盐及NO的含量。
对治愈猪进行处死解剖进行病理学观察,发现治愈猪除了脾脏略微大之外,肺部局部有出血现象。取血液,静置1h后,5000r/min离心5min,吸取血清。检测IgG抗体水平。血液加入Krebs-HEPES缓冲液,维持在37℃,静置30分钟,加入L-NAME(100μM),使用光化学方法检测亚硝酸盐及NO的含量。
结果如下:
表18病死组及治愈猪的生化指标
Figure PCTCN2020107411-appb-000025
结果显示,治愈猪体内存在大量的抗体,提升组合物C能够提高猪的免疫系统水平,起到抗病毒的效果。
并且还发现了病死猪的NO水平也并不低,但是其中的活性氮水平大大提高,这提示我们由病毒引起的急性症状及死亡与活性氮的水平有关,高强度的免疫系统反而加剧了个体死亡,这个在病毒的治疗过程中是常见的。对于某些病毒,免疫基因敲除小鼠的存活时间反而大大超过正常小鼠。因此我们推测非洲猪瘟的死亡与免疫系统过度反应有关,通过比较发现病死猪血液中RNS/NO的比值是治愈猪血液RNS/NO比值的3倍之多。
提示,本发明组合物能够通过降低RNS,而减少恶性病毒由于免疫过度表达而导致的死亡,并且维持免疫系统正常运作,达到清除病毒的目的。本发明组合物的实施效果大大超乎预期。

Figure PCTCN2020107411-appb-000026
免疫指数LYMP/NEUP较高的病人感染病毒症状会比较轻。在[Zhang B,Zhou X,Qiu Y,et al.Clinical characteristics of 82 death cases with COVID-19[J].MedRxiv,2020.]文章中对新冠肺炎患者的临床分析,死亡的患者基本都是淋巴细胞/中性粒细胞的比值较低。在图21中,表明了组合物具有提高LYMP/NEUP比值,能够限制感染病毒的症状的严重程度。一定程度说明组合物对病毒具有预防作用。
以上,对本发明的实施方式进行了说明。但是,本发明不限定于上述实施方式。凡在本发明的精神和原则之内,任何修改、等同替换、改进等,均应包含在本发明的保护范围之内。
