- RAGE The receptor for advanced glycation end products
- RAGE is a multiligand, pro-inflammatory pattern recognition receptor. It is involved in various conditions that cause chronic and sterile inflammation. RAGE expression is attenuated in many adult tissues except lung and skin.
- RAGE recognizes ligands not through short peptide motifs, but through 3D structures. Therefore, it can be activated by various ligands, such as advanced glycation end products (AGEs), HMGB1, S100/calgranulin, ⁇ -amyloid, and even DNA and RNA molecules, pathogenic proteins, etc. Once activated, it transduces signals through several downstream kinases MAPKs, PI3K/Akt and JAK, which in turn activate the transcription factors NF- ⁇ B, AP-1 and Stat3. These transcription factors promote the expression of important cytokines such as TNF ⁇ , IL-1 and IL-6. These cytokines play important roles in lung infection-related diseases.
- Soluble RAGE is the soluble form of RAGE.
- sRAGE is the extracellular domain of RAGE, which consists of three immunoglobulin-like domains, namely V domain, C1 domain and C2 domain.
- V domain the extracellular domain
- C1 domain the extracellular domain
- C2 domain the extracellular domain of RAGE
- sRAGE can interact with all ligands due to its extracellular structure and does not induce RAGE-based intracellular signaling cascades due to its lack of intracellular structure area. It is speculated that sRAGE or its functional fragments can act as a decoy receptor to alleviate the inflammatory response triggered by full-length RAGE.
- sRAGE is a polypeptide that naturally exists in the human body, and it has no obvious toxic side effects when it is used as a biological drug. Therefore, when used for treatment, the toxicity is small and the safety is high.
- the inventors deduce that the therapeutic mechanism does not involve the killing of the virus itself, and does not depend on the specific strain Specific recognition and killing, so it is not affected by the mutation of the new coronavirus. In other words, even if a new mutant strain of the new coronavirus appears, the sRAGE of the present invention and the pharmaceutical composition containing it can effectively exert a therapeutic effect.
- a further advantage of the present invention is that it is particularly effective for pulmonary infection, especially pulmonary infectious disease in which factor storm of various inflammatory factors occurs.
- the sRAGE of the present invention is used to treat the infection caused by the new coronavirus, it can not distinguish and is not limited to the mutant strain type of the new coronavirus, and is not even limited to the lung infection caused by the new coronavirus.
- the administration of sRAGE and its functional fragments can be applied to other lung infection-related diseases with related symptoms, not limited to lung infection-related diseases caused by novel coronavirus.
- the preventive/therapeutic agent of the present invention still has protective and therapeutic effects on the mutant strain.
- sRAGE is preferably in its N-glycoform, particularly preferably in a form with polyvalent sialic acid, especially N-glycosylation at amino acids 3 and 59. Since insect and mammalian cells have different glycosylation pathways, glycoproteins expressed in the two systems contain polysaccharides with different structures. In addition to affecting the efficacy and in vivo half-life of glycoproteins, glycosylation modification is also a potential source of immunogenicity. Currently, biosafety rules established by major regulatory agencies (FDA, EMEA) require the production of human therapeutic glycoproteins from mammalian sources. Therefore, the N-glycosylated form of sRAGE (which may further contain O-glycosylation) would be a better therapeutic candidate as sRAGE produced in mammalian cells.
- FDA major regulatory agencies
- N-glycosylation form of sRAGE sialylated N-glycosylation can be cited, preferably including N-glycosylation corresponding to amino acid 3 and/or 59 of SEQ ID NO:1. O-glycosylation can also be further included, especially O-glycosylation corresponding to amino acid 5 and/or 61 of SEQ ID NO:1.
