Abstract

一种用于血管新生/淋巴管新生,血管内皮机能异常相关疾病,尤其是癌症、眼科疾病、动脉硬化、心脑肾血管疾患、阿尔茨海默病、老化性疾病、瘢痕形成等疾病的预防、抑制和/或者治疗或促进现有治疗药物的代谢和速效性的辅助制剂的多肽或者包含该多肽作为活性有效成分组成的片段,以及其在制备用于预防、抑制和/或者治疗血管新生疾病、淋巴管新生相关疾病的药物中的用途。尤其是在癌症相关的疾病、动脉硬化、阿尔茨海默病、瘢痕形成、老化相关的预防和治疗中的用途,特别是在眼科血管新生相关的疾病的预防和治疗中的用途。

Description

一种用于血管新生、淋巴管新生相关疾病的多肽及其用途 技术领域
本发明涉及含有Semaphorin蛋白(Semas)、其药学上可接受的成分作为活性有效成分的预防、抑制和/或者治疗剂,以及其在制备用于预防、抑制和/或者治疗血管新生疾病、淋巴管新生相关疾病的药物中的用途。尤其是在癌症相关的疾病、瘢痕形成、心血管疾病,器官老化性疾病、阿尔茨海默病的预防和治疗中的用途,特别是在眼科血管新生相关的疾病的预防和治疗中的用途。
背景技术
人体细胞是靠摄取细胞周围血管供应的营养和氧气来维持其活动和功能。必要细胞的数量也严格受人类原始功能的控制,然而,癌细胞无法控制并且增殖非常活跃。由于与正常细胞相比,进行此类活动的癌细胞需要大量的营养和氧气,因此开始制造新的血管即新生血管。癌细胞产生的新血管已成为其活动的支持来源。
血管新生是利用已经存在的脉管系统形成新血管,如伤口愈合,癌症疾患,老化性黄斑变性,肿瘤生长和糖尿病视网膜病变等在内的许多生理过程,病理状况中起着至关重要的作用。
与血管新生相关的癌症约有以下:乳腺癌(特别是转移性乳腺癌)、大肠癌、结直肠癌、进行性结肠直肠癌、食道癌、浅表型食管癌、早期食道癌、喉头癌、副鼻腔恶性肿瘤、胃肠道间质瘤(GIST)、肾(肾细胞)癌、肝脏(成人原发性)癌症(特别是不能实施手术的肝癌)、淋巴瘤、淋巴管瘤病/Gorham病、巨大的淋巴管畸形、黑色素瘤(恶性黑色素瘤)、肺癌、非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)、转移性非小细胞肺癌、卵巢癌、上皮性卵巢癌、胰腺癌、前列腺癌、胃癌、鼻腔肿瘤、妇科恶性肿瘤、子宫颈癌(特别是早期浸润癌)、子宫内膜癌、膀胱癌(浅表型膀胱癌、浸润性癌)。
最近的研究表明,包括乳腺癌,子宫内膜癌,结肠癌,膀胱癌,这些血管新生因子的表达被识别出来,其表达程度与预后之间有直接相关性。此外,乳腺癌肿瘤组织中的血管新生密度与转移相关,而食道癌,结肠癌等,血管新生则是影响癌症患者预后的重要因素。而乳腺癌转移至淋巴结的概率是最高的。所以抑制淋巴管增殖对抑制乳腺癌转移有很重要的作用。食道癌无论进展程度如何,都可能扩散到淋巴结。前列腺癌最常见的是转移到前列腺周围的淋巴结。
癌细胞如果转移到淋巴结,就可能通过淋巴管向远端转移。而转移到肝脏的困难点是最初几乎不会出现自觉症状,非常容易重症化。已经发生转移的癌症治疗很困难,因此早期预防、早期治疗极其重要。
目前,用于人类癌症治疗的血管新生抑制剂是美国食品和药物管理局(FDA)批准的几种抗血管新生活性药剂,可以延迟肿瘤生长,但最近的研究结果在动物研究中显示了先天性异常的可能性,已经明确有并发症的可能性。
血管生成抑制剂治疗副作用包括出血,动脉血栓形成(引起中风或心脏病发作),高血压和尿蛋白(3-5)。消化道穿孔和胃肠瘘也被认为是某些血管生成抑制剂的副作用。
比如抗VEGF抗体的Bevacizumab(商品名AVASTIN)由于有出血风险,不能用于鳞状细胞癌 和被确诊肿瘤渗入大血管的患者,也不能用于既往病史有出血风险高的患者。而对于脑转移的患者,由于肿瘤病变有出血的风险,也无法使用。
另外,现有的抗VEGF制剂和化疗药联合疗法,进行维持治疗的仍存在高药价的财务问题,即使维持治疗,联合使用高价药阿瓦斯汀和培美曲塞治疗很多患者也无法承受。
血管新生疾病还包括:瘢痕瘤、类风湿性关节炎(RA)、银屑病(牛皮癣)、动脉硬化、结节性硬化症、阿尔茨海默病如血管性阿尔茨海默、老化、急性心筋梗塞、巨细胞病毒和衣原体感染诱发的冠状动脉病变。
由于生活方式疾病和超老龄化社会,动脉硬化相关疾病正在迅速增加。根据卫生、劳动和福利部的重要统计数据,脉硬化相关疾病(中风,心肌梗死)死因占死亡率的三分之一左右和恶性肿瘤死因相匹敌。然而,因为在大多数情况下直到发病都没有症状,等到发现时为时已晚,所以比如提早投入本药剂,预防疾病的发生极其重要。
血管内皮机能障碍初期是由生活习惯病(肥胖,压力,吸烟,缺乏运动等)和高血压、血脂异常、糖尿病、睡眠呼吸暂停综合症、慢性肾病等疾病,及衰老、性别、更年期、遗传等使血管内皮细胞受损引起的。血管机能瘫痪促使心血管疾病的发生,肥胖等使血管变窄发硬,血液中的胆固醇和中性脂肪增加并沉积,加剧动脉硬化发展。引起心绞痛和肾功能障碍,血栓形成后引起脑梗塞和心梗塞,血管破裂引起脑出血。老化进展时的动脉开始硬,引起严重的脑梗塞和心肌梗塞。
这些疾病中,例如银屑病(牛皮癣),尽管持续治疗很长时间,但改善并不容易,目前没有基本的治疗方法;而目前RA的治疗也是依靠血管新生抑制剂;结节性硬化症的疾病与LAM病伴随发生时,目前以美国为中心,使用名为西罗莫司的药物,因为有各种副作用,对其效果没有一定的意见。肾肿瘤和肺LAM病情严重时通常涉及生命预后。
眼科血管新生疾患包括:糖尿病性血管增值性眼底病变、网膜血管肿、von Hippel-Lindau病、体表软血管瘤、黄斑变性、近视性脉络膜新生血管、糖尿病网膜症、未成熟儿视网膜症、新生血管性青光眼、糖尿病黄斑症、网膜静脉闭塞症、葡萄膜炎合并的眼内新生血管、Behcet病、结核性葡萄膜炎、高度近视的脉络膜新生血管、恶性淋巴瘤,结膜恶性淋巴瘤、脉络膜肿瘤、巨细胞病毒性疾患例如巨细胞病毒性视网膜炎、眼内的恶性肿瘤例如视网膜母细胞瘤、脉络膜恶性黑素瘤、眼球中出现的恶性淋巴瘤、眼附属器肿瘤例如视神经肿瘤。
外伤性、化学烧伤性角膜血管新生,目前没有药物可以治疗,唯一的办法是角膜移植;血管新生性青光眼随着视网膜新血管形成的进展而发展,并在整个眼球中扩散,纤维小梁束被新生血管覆盖,导致房水的流出阻力使眼压升高。降低眼压的方法有静脉滴注和内科治疗,但无论如何效果只是暂时的。激光治疗导致视网膜所需的血液量减少,血液不足的状况。如果不治愈阻塞房角的新生血管,眼压几乎不会下降。在这个阶段只能进行青光眼手术,但新生血管性青光眼的手术效果不佳。
结核性葡萄膜炎的眼内炎症通过抗结核治疗和口服皮质类固醇治疗新血管。皮质类固醇的副作用引起高眼压,青光眼,白内障,角膜真菌发病等,而且影响小儿发育。
病理性近视眼脉络膜新生血管的治疗,视网膜光凝固,疗效不佳,并发症频发。黄斑移位术,新生血管摘除术等手术治疗效也没有有效数据。目前临床的抗VEGF注射药物治疗,有可能伴随视力恶 化。而且副作用很难避免,眼内炎,中风,白内障、视网膜脱离、视网膜色素上皮裂孔等,国内外在临床试验中已有中风报道。高额治疗费也是目前的抗VEGF注射药物的缺点。
巨细胞病毒性视网膜炎的治疗是口服和静脉输注药物,但现有药物时常引起骨髓抑制和肾功能不全等原因使得治疗困难。
瘤病/Gorham病临床用类固醇,干扰素α,普萘洛尔,化疗(长春新碱)等,但治疗效果有限。如果有胸部病变,如乳房,预后不好。病变如果扩散到多个器官,引起各种症状,经常留下永久性疾病,如慢性呼吸衰竭和运动功能障碍。许多病例需要长期治疗,治愈率极低。
任何治疗都很难恢复巨大的淋巴管畸形(颈部面部病变)。它不仅对治疗有抵抗力,而且导致持续的功能障碍(呼吸障碍,进食/吞咽障碍,视力障碍,听力障碍等),从出生那一刻起,就需要终生就医。
然而直到目前,仍无报告明确指出Sema3A在血管新生疾病、淋巴管新生疾病相关疾病,尤其是在癌症、瘢痕形成和眼科疾病中的作用及功能。

A.血管新生疾病
血管新生(angiogenesis):主要在原有的毛细血与(或)微静脉基础上通过血管内皮细胞的增殖和迁移,从先前存在的血管处以芽生或非芽(或称套叠)的形式生成新的毛细血管。
具体疾病如下所示例:
类风湿性关节炎(RA)
RA是一种慢性炎症性疾病,多见侵入所有关节,RA的炎性滑膜有早期毛细血管,小血管如后毛细血管小静脉显着的新生,并且是炎症细胞浸润的部位,新生血管还作为滑膜的营养血管深入参与 疾病病态。目前,RA的治疗也是依靠血管新生抑制剂。
银屑病(牛皮癣)
Nickoloff等在银屑病患者的病变部,观察到与正常皮肤相比IL-8(血管生成因子)和TSP-1的产生减少,根据病变部位组织建立的培养表皮细胞方法,从大鼠角膜中确认了血管新生增强。
动脉硬化
动脉硬化伴随高脂血症,高血压,衰老等病程进展。血管(vasa Vasorum)在动脉粥样硬化斑块附近可以观察到新血管伸展。在形成动脉粥样硬化病变时,分泌PDGF,TNF-α,FGF和TGF-β因子,诱导血管新生。
血管内皮机能障碍出现后,动脉硬化发生,血管变窄发硬,血液中的胆固醇和中性脂肪增加并沉积在血管内部,加剧动脉硬化发展。
血管变窄发硬后引起心绞痛和肾功能障碍,血栓形成后引起脑梗塞和心梗塞,血管破裂引起脑出血。
结节性硬化症
结节性硬化症(tuberous sclerosis complex:TSC)是肾血管肌肉脂肪瘤;
淋巴管平滑肌瘤病(lymphangioleiomyomatosis:LAM)是引起全身性错构瘤的疾病,例如面部和眼底血管纤维瘤。肾脏血管肌肉脂肪瘤有许多血管新生,增大有时会导致破裂。随着肿瘤的细胞增加,可能会发生恶变。
结节性硬化症的疾病与LAM病伴随发生时,其中大多数会在育龄妇女中发病,LAM以外的疾病很可能发生在许多器官(脑,皮肤,心脏,肺,肾等),伴随癫痫,皮肤病变和其他结节性硬化症症状。
癌症
鼻腔肿瘤
鼻窦肿瘤是由鼻窦组织(主要是粘膜上皮)引起的肿瘤。代表性的鼻窦肿瘤良性肿瘤是乳头瘤和血管瘤。在恶性肿瘤中,鳞状细胞癌是最常见的,除此之外,鼻腔还产生各种病理组织类型的恶性肿瘤,包括嗅神经母细胞瘤。例如乳头瘤的临床特征包括高复发率和恶性转化的可能性。复发率约为30%,大多数在术后2年内复发。恶性转化被认为是约10%,通常转化为鳞状细胞癌。
妇科恶性肿瘤
妇科恶性肿瘤最多见的是宫颈癌,胎盘血管肿,妊娠合并的宫颈海绵状血管瘤。
发生在脑脊髓海绵状血管瘤,血管新生深度参与对预后影响最大的转移性病变的生长。
阿尔茨海默病
血管性阿尔茨海默病
痴呆与血管密切相关,血管阻塞导致血管性痴呆和阿尔茨海默病,症状改善需要恢复脑血流量。
阿尔茨海默病(AD)是痴呆症之一。病因被认为是β淀粉样蛋白(Aβ)在大脑中的积累。基础和临床试验中的免疫疗法显示减少淀粉样蛋白沉积对认知功能的改善是有用的。用于从脑中去除Aβ,针对Aβ的抗体或疫苗免疫疗法被认为很有前景,但是诸如血管生成性水肿和脑微出血的副作用却很 明显。脑和血液之间存在的血-脑屏障的透过性亢进(BBB),与脑血管内皮细胞密切相关,还发现AD患者的血管密度也在增加。
老化
遍布全身的血管不仅向身体的每个角落输送氧气和营养物质,而且还在发生组织损伤或炎症等异常时将炎症细胞移动到该部位,促进组织修复。在此过程中,覆盖血管腔的血管内皮细胞被TNFα(一种炎性细胞因子)激活,并帮助炎性细胞迁移出血管,并在正常引起炎症反应中起作用。
急性心筋梗塞
据报告急性心肌梗死患者的IL-6水平表现升高。血浆IL-6水平在梗塞发作后数小时内上升,并在24至48小时后达到峰值(图2)。在升高IL-6后,血液中的CRP升高。该过程中的最大IL-6值与最大CRP值显着相关。
巨细胞病毒诱导的冠状动脉疾病
巨细胞病毒和衣原体感染在冠状动脉病变形成中的作用已被注意。
巨细胞病毒直接作用于内皮细胞以增强IL-6的产生。Blankenberg等人提示巨细胞病毒抗体阳性且血液IL-6水平高的患者未来心脏病死亡的风险很高,但即使巨细胞病毒抗体是阳性,而血液IL-6水平也不高,患者也是没有风险的。
眼科血管新生疾病
损害眼部透明度的代表性病变是血管新生。新形成的血管脆弱,容易重复出血和渗出,形成增殖膜,伴有其他细胞增殖,因此视功能明显受损。外伤性,化学烧伤性角膜血管新生,目前没有药物可以治疗,唯一的办法是角膜移植。
眼内血管新生疾病,典型的例子包括糖尿病性视网膜病、视网膜静脉阻塞、早产儿视网膜病、年龄相关性黄斑变性、血管生成性青光眼等,都是导致失明的难治疾病。当视网膜处于血液不足状态时,将发出信号(称为VEGF的化学物质)通过VEGF(新血管形成)产生新的血管以滋养视网膜。这种“新生血管”非常易于破裂,是视网膜出血和玻璃体出血的根源。
新生血管性青光眼
新生血管性青光眼的病因包括糖尿病性视网膜病变症候群、视网膜中央静脉阻塞和眼缺血综合征。
视网膜血流恶化的疾病引起的严重且难治型的青光眼。当视网膜的血管被糖尿病损坏时,血液循环受阻,引起严重的视力障害。新生血管可能堵塞房角,闭锁房水的出口,引起突然升高。通常约20mmHg的眼压变为50mmHg或更高。
由恶性淋巴瘤、结膜恶性淋巴瘤的眼内转移,继发症是在眼球内经常发展成血管新生性青光眼。
糖尿病黄斑症
黄斑位于视网膜的中心,是观察事物最重要的部分。由于糖尿病疾患,黄斑附近经常出现毛细血管瘤等,血液成分渗出,黄斑肿胀引起的症状,被称为糖尿病黄斑症。
即使在初期的视网膜病变阶段,也可能发生导致视力下降。
在病情严重进展之前,可能没有自觉症状、早期使用新生血管抑制剂很重要。比如现在临床采用 防止血管新生为目的,无血管领域进行的激光凝固治疗,光凝网膜组织变性的凝固瘢会随着时间增长而面积扩大,以至于影响黄斑视力和视野。
网膜静脉闭塞症
高血压是动脉硬化的原因之一,但即使在没有高血压的情况下,动脉硬化也会发展,如果视网膜静脉的根部被阻塞,它就会变成视网膜中央静脉阻塞并在整个视网膜内出血。导致视力突然下降,视野障碍,变视症,玻璃体出血,视力明显下降。合并血管生成性青光眼。
葡萄膜炎合并的眼内新生血管
原田病引起大量视网膜和脉络膜脱离,视神经乳头水肿,后极部分乳头上新生血管,治疗需要大规模类固醇收缩新血管。
Behcet病引起视网膜和乳头上产生新生血管,治疗需要局部给予类固醇药物和用免疫抑制药物。
高度近视的脉络膜新生血管
近视性视网膜病变的患病率为1.7%,女性的患病率约为男性的两倍。如果眼球向后伸展并且视网膜/脉络膜受损,则会产生病理性血管(脉络膜新生血管),导致出血和肿胀。
脉络膜肿瘤
脉络膜血管瘤,由血管异常增生引起,经常与全身血管瘤多发的Sturge-Weber综合征同时发症。转移性脉络膜肿瘤是在身体的所有器官中发生的血行转移性恶性肿瘤。女性乳腺癌和男性肺癌的脉络膜转移很多见。
如果肿瘤发生在黄斑区域视力的特别重要的部分,或肿瘤周围的视网膜脱离到达黄斑部,则会发生视力恶化。随着肿瘤的增长程度,视野会欠损以至于消失。
巨细胞病毒性疾患
巨细胞病毒性视网膜炎是在免疫功能低下的患者中,如艾滋病患者和接受抗癌治疗的患者,视网膜炎可以作为机会性感染发生。特别是,当外周血中CD4+T细胞的数量小于50/mm 2时,发病率很高。
眼内的恶性肿瘤
眼部分为眼球和眼附属器(眼睑,结膜,眼窝,泪腺等),肿瘤可以发生在各个部位。预后不良甚至影响生命生存率。
视网膜母细胞瘤
儿童眼球中出现的恶性肿瘤,治疗外科手术,如果有进行性需摘除眼球。脉络膜恶性黑素瘤是恶性黑素瘤发生在成人的眼球的葡萄膜(脉络膜,睫状体,虹膜)中的恶性肿瘤,如果它有进展并且肿瘤很大,需要眼球摘除。
眼球中出现的恶性淋巴瘤
是中枢神经系统的恶性淋巴瘤,脑的淋巴瘤的亚型。一般进行全身化疗,放射治疗和其他医学治疗,目前很难完全治愈。虽然有些预防的治疗方法的报道,到目前为止还没有可靠的方法实际应用。
眼附属器肿瘤
眼睑肿瘤(皮脂腺癌)眼睑中出现的肿瘤在眼部肿瘤中很常见,复发时需再次手术或放疗。
泪腺癌治疗需手术完全切除肿瘤,然而,即使肿瘤被完全切除,也不可能阻止之后的复发。
眼附属淋巴瘤
眼球肉瘤肿瘤压迫眼球偏位,通常难以完全切除,需结合手术、化疗和放疗。髓膜肿是由包括视神经的鞘产生的肿瘤,切除肿瘤时,通常导致失明。
B.淋巴管新生疾病
淋巴管是淋巴液通过的通道,收集由身体各角落产生的淋巴液,并过滤淋巴液中含有的细菌和病毒,最后将其返回血管,淋巴管相关的疾病很多是疑难病症。
近年来,血管生成在个体发育和各种病理学如肿瘤和炎症中的分子机制得到了阐明,另一方面,关于相同血管器官中淋巴系统形成的分子机制的研究逐渐确定了淋巴管中特异性表达的受体、其配体、转录因子等,但针对它们的特异性抗体难以制备并且难以获得细胞系,这是推进研究的障碍。提示淋巴管不仅可作为细胞外液过多引流的循环系统,而且对免疫系统有很大影响,可明确恶性肿瘤淋巴结转移和淋巴水肿等病理状况是重要的。
淋巴管在维持体内微环境衡定、免疫反应和肿瘤淋巴转移等方面起着重要作用,淋巴管新生与胚胎发育、外伤修复、先天性淋巴水肿、炎症转归和肿瘤转移密切相关。在趋化因子和生长因子的作用下,淋巴管内皮细胞迁移、增殖和构成管腔,形成新的淋巴管。近年来发现淋巴管内皮祖细胞参与淋巴管新生。淋巴管内皮特异表达Prox-1、podopiann、VEGFR-3 LYVE-1等,这些因子和受体调控淋巴管新生。VEGF-C/VEGFR-3或VEGF-D/VEGFR-3信号途径在淋巴管新生过程中起着重要作用。VEGF-C、VEGF-D和VEGFR-3可作为基因治疗的靶点,有望治疗淋巴管新生障碍性疾病以及抗移植后免疫排斥和抗肿瘤淋巴管转移。
淋巴管瘤病/Gorham病(日本指定为难治性疾病277)
是一种难以治愈的疾病,不明原因导致弥漫性异常扩张的淋巴组织侵入全身器官,如骨骼和胸部(肺,纵隔,心脏),腹部(腹腔,脾脏),皮肤,皮下组织。许多在儿童和青少年时期引起骨质疏松症,Gorham病在病理学上识别出不规则扩张的淋巴管。淋巴管瘤病/Gorham病也被称为弥漫性淋巴管瘤病,Gorham-Stout综合征,也被称为大量骨质溶解症。
例如食管鳞状细胞癌的淋巴增殖,可以根据淋巴管新生并预测转移,在胃肠道肿瘤中,食管癌与结肠癌和胃癌相比具有高度恶性,是预后不良的肿瘤之一。
近年来,恶性肿瘤的生长和转移涉及血管和淋巴管的形成,推测血管生成与肿瘤生长有关,而肿瘤组织的淋巴管生成与淋巴结转移有关。筑後等对淋巴管分布和淋巴管密度进行了测定,显示了肿瘤区域和非肿瘤区域中淋巴管数量的比率。粘膜固有层在肿瘤边缘淋巴管数量有显著增加。淋巴管占血管数量的百分比也观察到淋巴管显著增加。
巨大的淋巴管畸形
(颈部面部病变)是巨大的肿瘤性淋巴管生成异常,在面部,口腔,咽喉头颈部先天发生。
淋巴管畸形(淋巴管瘤)由大小淋巴囊肿组成的肿块,同时有血管病变。眶内淋巴管瘤可能引起眶内出血或感染导致失明。如果淋巴病变扩展到皮肤和粘膜,表现局部淋巴管瘤,症状出现反复淋巴 瘘,出血,感染。在病程内任何部位病变都可能发生感染和出血,反复急性肿胀和炎症。
在巨大的面部病变中,由于肿瘤形成,变色和变形,表现出高度的丑陋性,影响患者社会生活的适应性,一生的生活质量受到限制。

由SEQ ID NO:2或SEQ ID NO:4所示的氨基酸序列的全长(即Semaphorin3A蛋白)。
氨基酸序列2:

Figure PCTCN2020120360-appb-000007
Figure PCTCN2020120360-appb-000008
多肽(a):由序列编号4所示氨基酸序列中的连续70个以上的氨基酸构成,且含有序列编号4中166aa~235aa区域的多肽。
多肽(b):由序列编号2所示氨基酸序列中的连续70个以上的氨基酸构成,且含有序列编号2中166aa~235aa区域的多肽。
多肽(c):多肽是其中(a)或(b)的多肽的少量(优选1至几个)氨基酸残基被取代,缺失和/或插入的多肽。肽是与原始序列具有80%或更高,优选90%或更高,更优选95%或更高,还更优选98%或更高的同源性的多肽。
通常,在蛋白质中,即使蛋白质的氨基酸序列中的少量氨基酸残基被取代,缺失或插入,它们也可具有与原始蛋白质几乎相同的功能。这些是本领域技术人员所熟知的。因此,由上述(c)的多肽组成的区域也可以产生Semaphorin3A蛋白的生理活性,类似于上述70aa区域。
氨基酸序列的“同源性”:意味着比对两个氨基酸序列,使得待比较的两个氨基酸序列的氨基酸残基尽可能匹配,并以匹配氨基酸残基的数量除以氨基酸残基总数的数字表示为百分比。在对准时,根据需要将间隙适当地插入两个要比较的序列中的一个或两个中。
序列的这种比对可以使用已知程序进行,例如BLAST,FASTA,CLUSTAL W等。当插入缺口时,氨基酸残基的总数是将一个缺口计为一个氨基酸残基的残基数。当以这种方式计数的氨基酸残基总数在待比较的两个序列之间不同时,同源性(%)是较长序列中氨基酸残基的总数,它是通过除以计算得出的。
构成天然蛋白质的20种氨基酸是具有低极性侧链的中性氨基酸(Gly,Ile,Val,Leu,Ala,Met,Pro)和具有亲水侧链的中性氨基酸(Asn,Gln,Thr,Ser,Tyr Cys),酸性氨基酸(Asp,Glu),碱性氨基酸(Arg,Lys,His),芳香族氨基酸(Phe,Tyr,Trp)已知它们可以组合在一起并且它们之间的取代通常不会改变多肽的性质。
因此,当用上述多肽(a)或(b)中的氨基酸残基取代时,可以通过在这些各自的基团之间取代来获得用作预防、抑制或治疗结膜中的角膜疾病的活性成分的多肽。或者,增加了维持角膜损伤的预防、抑制或治疗活性的可能性。
具体地,上述多肽(c)是与由SEQ ID NO:2或SEQ ID NO:4所示的氨基酸序列的全长(即Semaphorin3A蛋白)组成的多肽具有80%或更高序列同源性的多肽,或者与含有70个氨基酸区域的Sema3A蛋白质片段具有80%或更高序列同源性的多肽。
因此,活性成分多肽c是仅由这些氨基酸组成的多肽,或者是通过向多肽(c)的一端或两端添加氨基酸或多肽而获得的多肽,和/或具有角膜疾病或角膜损伤改成血管等的预防、抑制或治疗活性的多肽。
这些具体实例类似于上述活性成分多肽a和b,并且没有特别限制,例如,由SEQ ID NO:2或4的全长(即Sema3A蛋白)组成的多肽和具有80%或更多的序列同源性的多肽,与具有角膜疾病或角膜疾病或角膜损伤或预防、抑制或治疗活性的Sema3A蛋白片段具有80%或更高序列同源性的多肽,与包括70个氨基酸区域的80%或更多序列同源性。并且,通过将具有分泌结构域的区域与除 Semaphorin3A之外的分泌的信号素的其他区域融合而获得的嵌合蛋白质。
作为活性成分多肽c,特别优选的是在70aa区域中的同源性高于由(c)的多肽组成整个区域的同源性的多肽。例如,当活性成分多肽c是与具有SEQ ID NO:2的氨基酸序列的多肽具有80%同源性的多肽时,优选在70aa区域具有超过80%同源性的多肽,特别是70aa。该区域的同源性为90%以上,更优选为95%以上,进一步优选为98%以上,更优选地,其中70aa区域中的序列相同的多肽是优选的。另外,例如,活性成分多肽c是嵌合蛋白,其中与人Sema3A蛋白的Sema结构域具有80%序列同源性的区域和除Sema3A之外的分泌的Semaphorin的Sema结构域以外的区域是融合的。在一些情况下,优选Sema结构域中70aa区域的同源性大于80%,特别是70aa区域中的同源性为90%或更高,更优选为95%或更高,还更优选为98%或更高,更优选为90%或更高。优选的是嵌合蛋白,其中70aa区中的序列是相同的。
在上述活性成分多肽a至c中,具有SEQ ID NO:2或SEQ ID NO:4所示氨基酸序列的多肽特别是80%或更多,优选90%或更多,更优选95%或更多,更优选地,具有98%或更高同源性的多肽,并且其中,如上所述,优选在70aa区域中具有高于多肽整体的同源性的多肽。最优选地,在本发明的预防、抑制剂或治疗剂中作为活性成分含有的多肽是具有SEQ ID NO:2或SEQ ID NO:4所示氨基酸序列的多肽。
通常,在包含多肽的药物中,为了增强多肽在体内的稳定性,将糖链或聚乙二醇(PEG)链添加至多肽,或至少一种构成多肽的氨基酸。使用D-型氨基酸作为一部分并添加Fc结构域的技术是众所周知的并且使用的技术。通过添加糖链或PEG链或使用D-型氨基酸作为构成多肽的氨基酸的至少一部分,在体内变得难以被肽酶降解,并且多肽在体内减半的时间会更长。
本发明中使用的多肽可以是已经经历这些已知的体内稳定化修饰的多肽,只要它对角膜疾病或角膜损伤具有预防、抑制或治疗活性即可。除非上下文另有明确说明,否则说明书和权利要求书中的术语“多肽”在某种意义上使用,其还包括经修饰用于体内稳定化的那些。
糖基转化为多肽是众所周知的,例如,糖链能够与N-末端,C-末端或它们之间的氨基酸结合,但优选与N-末端或C-末端结合,以便不抑制多肽的活性。要添加的糖链的数量优选为一个或两个,并且优选为一个。糖链优选为单糖至四糖,更优选为二糖或三糖。糖链可以直接或通过间隔结构如具有约1-10个碳原子的亚甲基链与多肽的游离氨基或羧基连接。
PEG链可以与N-末端,C-末端或它们之间的氨基酸连接,并且通常一个或两个PEG链与多肽上的游离氨基或羧基连接。PEG链的分子量没有特别限制,但通常为约3000至约7000,优选约5000。
其中构成多肽的至少一部分氨基酸是D-形式也是众所周知的,例如虽然构成多肽的一些氨基酸可以是D-形式,但构成多肽的所有氨基酸都是D-型氨基酸而不是仅仅形成D-形式的氨基酸,因为多肽的活性不受抑制。最好是向多肽添加Fc结构域的方法也是公知的,并且可以例如使用市售的Fc融合蛋白表达载体如pFUSEN-Fc(InvivoGen制造)来生产。
用作本发明活性成分的Semaphorin 3A可以通过常规方法使用例如市售的肽合成仪容易地制备。而且,它可以使用已知的基因工程技术容易地制备。例如,通过RT-PCR从表达Semaphorin3A基因的组织中提取的RNA制备Semaphorin基因的cDNA,将全长或所需部分的cDNA整合到表达载体中, 可以引入它以获得靶多肽。可以通过已知方法进行RNA的提取,RT-PCR,将cDNA整合到载体中,以及将载体导入宿主细胞中。
此外,待使用的载体和宿主细胞也是众所周知的,并且各种载体和宿主细胞是可商购的。用于产生嵌合蛋白的方法也是本领域熟知的,并且嵌合蛋白可以例如通过上述Koppel等人的文章中描述的方法产生。而且,上述稳定化修改可以通过上述各个文献中描述的已知方法容易地进行。

实施例
实施例1
本实施例的目的是验证本发明所述的多肽,尤其是Semaphorin 3A的血管新生/淋巴管新生,及血管内皮机能异常相关疾病,尤其是癌症、眼科疾病、动脉硬化、心脑肾血管疾患、阿尔茨海默病、老化性疾病、瘢痕形成等疾病的预防、抑制和/或者治疗作用。
1、 实验方法
通过滴入2ml 0.15M NaOH制作角膜碱损伤模型,并进行以下检查。药物每隔1天给药1次,并从产生碱性损伤的那天起持续7天。实验组在术后第0、3、6和9天结膜下给予Semaphorin 3A(2μl),LSBio公司制。对照组结膜下给予PBS液。
2、 实验动物分组及治疗
BALB/c雄性8周龄
将实验动物随机分为以下各组,每组8只:
(1)PBS作为给药对照组(n=8)
(2)Semaphorin3A(10ng/ml 2μl/结膜下注射)给药组(n=8);
(3)Semaphorin3A(100ng/ml 2μl/结膜下注射)给药组(n=8);
(4)Semaphorin3A(1000ng/ml 2μl/结膜下注射)给药组(n=8);
3、 动物模型生体染色
使用裂隙灯蓝色自由滤光器(蓝色无滤光器),其仅选择性地透射由荧光素发射的绿色荧光颜色,因此可以获得角膜损伤的观察图像。
4、 荧光素染色试验:用荧光素染色观察角膜的状况。如果有染色,则意味着角膜糜烂和角膜上皮的状况不稳定。
该试验用于通过使用渗透性上皮缺陷的特性和上皮细胞之间的弱粘附区域来检查角膜溃疡(角膜伤口)。
5、 评价指标
记录角膜所见结果:在碱性损伤,角膜混浊,创伤后3、6、9、14天在裂隙灯显微镜下观察角膜,如下所述对角膜新血管形成和角膜上皮缺损的程度进行半定量评估:
角膜混浊:按程度统计得分为0-4的五个等级。
角膜内新生血管分级:侵袭到角膜内的长度和范围按程度统计分为0-4的五个等级。
角膜上皮缺损范围:由于上皮缺损通常呈椭圆形,因此通过缺损范围的长轴与角膜直径的比率来评价。
给药物组和对照组,使用unpaired Student's t test.检验进行比较。**P<0.01,***P<0.001;ns:无显著性差异。
临床症状评点:
每天用裂隙灯显微镜检查动物模型的眼睛临床症状变化。角膜混浊评分系统是:新血管形成(NV)和角膜上皮缺损区域。定义评分系统以半定量术语描述角膜混浊(0-4)和NV(0-4)的程度。在角膜损伤模型做成后第2、5、6、10、14天,盲检观察者对于每个角膜的混浊度指定混浊评分:
0=透明角膜;
1=最小的表面(非角膜基质)不透明度;
2=最小深度(角膜基质)不透明度;
3=中度角膜基质不透明;
4=强度的角膜基质不透明。
NV评分系统:
0=角膜无血管侵袭;
1=在不到两个象限的情况下,血管长度小于角膜半径的一半;
2=血管长度超过角膜半径的一半且小于两个象限;
3=血管长度小于角膜半径的一半在两个以上的象限中;
4=血管长度超过角膜半径的一半在两个以上的象限。
计算角膜上皮缺损的面积,作为缺陷面积的比例。
长轴:角膜直径。
统计分析
所有数据均表示为平均值±SEM。
低于检测限的值计为0pg/ml。使用unpaired Student's t test.检验进行比较。**P<0.01,***P<0.001;ns:无显着差异。
检验来统计比较未治疗的受损角膜(对照)和Sema3A治疗的角膜每个时间点的临床评分。
6. 实验结果
上皮欠损模型
图1(a)为角膜碱烧伤模型在室内光下摄影得到的照片。如图所示,图1(a)中白色破线内为角膜区域,角膜碱烧伤后,角膜上皮脱落。黑色实线框内为烧伤后变性脱落的上皮组织堆积域。图1(b)为碱性角膜烧伤后,荧光素染色并在裂隙灯蓝色自由滤光器下摄影得到的照片。如图所示,图中白色破线内为角膜区域,箭头指向白色部分荧光素附着的角膜上皮缺损区域。
图2展示了对全角膜上皮搔爬处理后荧光染色的照片。如图2所示,白色破线范围内为角膜区域,清创后角膜表面上皮组织完全剥离,全角膜呈现荧光素着色,整个角膜像毛玻璃一样变浑浊。
上皮欠损临床症状比较
图3展示了角膜上皮欠损临床症状的比较。在碱性角膜外伤后第3、6、9、14天观察治疗组和对照组角膜修复变化,对上皮欠损进行荧光素染色,显微镜下的照片。其中:角膜碱烧伤动物模型经过2周的观察,第1、3、5、7行照片为室内光下第3、6、9、14天的角膜上皮临床症状变化;第2、4、6、8行照片为荧光素染色后,裂隙灯蓝色自由滤光器(蓝色无滤光器下)第3、6、9、14天的角膜上皮临床症状变化。
根据实验结果可见,烧伤后2周,对照组和治疗组10ng/ml,1000ng/ml眼睛表面如结膜和角膜仍然有荧光素染色区域,炎症没有痊愈。角膜变得浑浊,伴有炎症和血管侵犯超过2周,100ng/ml对血管生成,上皮缺陷和伤口愈合有很明显影响。角膜几乎没有荧光素染色,泪液的储留充足。基本恢复正常眼状态。
图4为图3中治疗14天后PBS给药对照组显微镜下照片的放大图。其中,图4(a)中白色破线范围内为角膜组织领域,箭头指示为碱烧伤后角膜新生血管。血管粗大,影响角膜透视度,动物模型视力急剧下降。图4(b)中白色破线范围内为角膜组织领域,白色箭头指示为碱烧伤后全角膜变性呈现白斑,不透明状态。白色实线范围内为角膜变性瘢痕增殖领域,黑色箭头指示为组织变性、增生肥厚,呈现不透明状态。动物模型视力高度下降或失明。
上皮欠损评价
图5展示了对角膜上皮欠损的评价。在制造成碱性外伤模型后第2、3、4、6、10、14天观察角膜修复变化,荧光素染色,临床采点(图5)。
将角膜上皮缺损的程度评分为五级:
纵轴评点方法(参考:Den等人,Efficacy of early systemic betamethasone or cyclosporin A after corneal alkali injury via inflammatory cytokine reduction)
0=透明角膜;
1=最小的表面(非角膜基质)不透明度;
2=最小深度(角膜基质)不透明度;
3=中度角膜基质不透明;
4=强度的角膜基质不透明。
从第6天起浓度依存临床症状的变化出现差异,浓度100ng/ml和1000ng/ml治疗组症状明显好转。浓度100ng/ml治疗组在第6天效果显著(**P<0.01);在第14天的有显著性差异(*P<0.05)。
通过给药,本治疗角膜烧伤组织显著修复,角膜上皮愈合良好,浓度100ng/ml治疗组角膜透明与正常角膜无差异。
血管生成评价
图6展示了对角膜血管生成的评价。在碱性创伤后2、5、6、10、14天,根据新生血管生成的长 度和程度分级标准分五个阶段中评估。
用抗CD31抗体(血管内皮标记物)在14天后对角膜进行免疫染色,利用平铺角膜片量化血管区域。在手术显微镜下测量角膜中的新生血管长度。其中,小鼠每组8只(n=8),检定为mean±S.D。
新血管形成:其侵入角膜长度和范围以0至4的五个等级评分。
新生血管,新生淋巴管评分系统方法如下:
0=无
1=在不到两个象限的情况下,血管/淋巴管长度小于角膜半径的一半;
2=血管/淋巴管长度超过角膜半径的一半且小于两个象限;
3=血管/淋巴管长度小于角膜半径的一半在两个以上的象限中;
4=血管/淋巴管长度超过角膜半径的一半,在两个以上的象限。
计算角膜上皮缺损的面积作为缺陷面积的比例
长轴:角膜直径
观察2周的结果,Sema3A以浓度依赖性方式抑制新血管形成。
其中,与PBS对照组相比,100ng/ml的Sema3A在第4天呈现出对心血管形成的抑制;在第10天有显著性差异(**P<0.01),通过给药本治疗显著抑制了角膜中新血管产生和生长形成。
血管,淋巴管,角膜平铺片免疫染色评价
图7显示清创术后14天,用CD31抗体(血管内皮标记物),LYVE-1抗体(淋巴管内皮标记物)对角膜平铺片进行免疫染色。
治疗组给药Sema3A后,对Sema3A浓度为10ng/ml,100ng/ml,1000ng/ml的治疗组及对照组的血管、淋巴管进行免疫染色。利用血管、淋巴区域面积的百分比进行定量化评价。
根据图7可见,PBS治疗对照组有大面积的血管和淋巴管新生,与PBS组相比,Sema3A浓度100ng/ml治疗组明显抑制了血管和淋巴管的新生,角膜中心部分保持了正常的透明度。表明Sema3A能有效促进上皮形成。
血管/淋巴管生成领域评价
图8展示了对角膜血管新生区域的评价(以血管新生区域面积(%)表示)。清创术后14天,治疗组Sema3A给药后,浓度100ng/ml的Sema3A治疗组的血管新生面积明显缩小,与对照组的有显著性差异:**P=0.014;小鼠各组为8只(n=8);检定为mean±S.D。上述结果表明Sema3A有效抑制了角膜碱烧伤后病理血管生成。
图9展示了对角膜淋巴管新生区域的评价(以淋巴管新生面积(%)表示)。清创术后14天,治疗组Sema3A给药后,浓度100ng/ml的Sema3A治疗组的淋巴管新生面积明显缩小,与对照组的有显著性差异:**P=0.02;小鼠各组为8只(n=8);检定为mean±S.D。表明Sema3A有效抑制了角膜碱烧伤后病理性淋巴管生成。
角膜组织炎症细胞浸润
图10为角膜组织的βⅢtubulin和F4/80免疫染色照片(清创术后第14天)。其展示了角膜组织炎症细胞的浸润。
三角白色箭头指示免疫染色阳性炎症细胞;
A左:神经纤维标记物βIII微管蛋白免疫染色;
B中:抗F4/80抗体用于小鼠巨噬细胞检测,浓度100ng/ml的Sema3A治疗组角膜组织F4/80阳性细胞(巨噬细胞)浸润和对照组相比,明显减少。表明Sema3A抑制角膜碱性创伤后发生的炎症反应。
F4/80抗体阳性细胞(巨噬细胞)数评价
图11展示了对F4/80抗体阳性细胞(巨噬细胞)数的评价。
清创术后第14天,治疗组Sema3A给药后,浓度100nng/ml的Sema3A治疗组F4/80抗体阳性细胞数明显减少,与对照组相比有显著性差异:**P<0.0001;小鼠各组为15只(n=15),检定为mean±S.D。
角膜切片神经纤维免疫染色
图12展示了角膜切片神经纤维的免疫染色照片。清创术后第14天,用抗βIII微管蛋白抗体,PGP9.5(神经标记物)对角膜切片进行免疫染色。白色箭头指示部分为神经纤维,对照组和治疗组的各浓度角膜及分布在角膜组织中角膜神经纤维免疫荧光染色。
从图12中可见,浓度100ng/ml和高浓度1000ng/ml的Sema3A投与角膜组织中的神经丛未见破坏。
图13对角膜感觉神经(三叉神经)的影响进行了定量。用βⅢtubulin阳性神经纤维密度评价。
清创术后第14天,定量化角膜神经纤维区域。
角膜神经纤维被量化为图中所示的代表性共聚焦图像中β-微管蛋白III染色阳性阈值区域的百分比。
N.S.:各治疗组与正常和对照组没有显著性差异;每组小鼠15只(n=15);检定为mean±S.D。
该结果证明给药Sema3A,对角膜组织中的神经纤维没有影响。
总之,我们使用小鼠角膜碱性损伤模型检查了Semaphorin3A对角膜上皮缺损,角膜新生血管形成和淋巴管生成的影响。
尤其在100ng/ml的Semaphorin3A给药组中,角膜上皮缺损,角膜新生血管形成,角膜新生淋巴管生成和炎性细胞浸润均被显著抑制,并且与β-III微管蛋白阳性神经纤维正常小鼠角膜相比没有减少。
根据我们在体内的研究表明这些结果表明Semaphorin3A有效促进上皮形成,抑制病理性血管生成和抑制角膜碱性创伤后发生的炎症。
已经通过上述实施例对本发明的各个方面进行了例示。显然,上述实施例仅仅是为清楚地说明所 作的举例,而并非对实施方式的限定。对于所属领域的普通技术人员来说,在上述说明的基础上还可以做出其它不同形式的变化或变动。这里无需也无法对所有的实施方式予以穷举。而由此所引伸出的显而易见的变化或变动仍处于本发明创造的保护范围之中。
