이상지질혈증(dyslipidemia)이란 혈중에 총 콜레스테롤, LDL(low density lipoprotein) 콜레스테롤, 중성지방이 증가된 상태이거나, HDL(high density lipoprotein) 콜레스테롤이 감소된 상태를 말한다. 이상지질혈증의 대부분은 비만, 당뇨병, 음주와 같은 원인에 의해 발생하나, 유전적 요인으로 혈액 내 특정 지질이 증가하여 발생하는 경우도 있다.Dyslipidemia refers to a state in which total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, and triglycerides in the blood are increased, or the level of HDL (high density lipoprotein) cholesterol is decreased. Most cases of dyslipidemia are caused by causes such as obesity, diabetes, and drinking, but in some cases, it is caused by an increase in specific lipids in the blood due to genetic factors.
이상지질혈증은 특별한 증세를 보이지 않는 경우가 대부분이나 이를 조절하지 않고 장기간 방치하면 콜레스테롤이 혈관 벽에 쌓여 혈관을 좁히거나 막아 협심증, 심근경색, 뇌졸중(뇌경색)과 같은 심뇌혈관질환을 일으킬 수 있다.In most cases, dyslipidemia does not show any special symptoms, but if left uncontrolled for a long period of time, cholesterol can build up on the walls of blood vessels, narrowing or blocking them, causing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as angina, myocardial infarction, and stroke (cerebral infarction).
이상지질혈증은 1차성과 2차성으로 그 원인을 크게 나눌 수 있다. 1차성 원인은 지방 위주의 식생활, 운동 부족, 유전적인 요인 등에 의해 발생하는 원발성 이상지질혈증을 의미하고, 2차성 원인은 갑상성기능저하증, 만성 간질환, 신증후군 등의 기저질환 또는 임산, 약물 복용 등에 의해 유발되는 이상지질혈증을 나타낸다. 가족성 고콜레스테롤혈증이나 가족성 고중성지방혈증 등 유전적 소인에 의한 경우 황색종, 황색판종, 간비대, 신장비대 등이 나타날 수 있지만, 대개 무증상으로 대부분 혈액검사로 발견된다.Dyslipidemia can be broadly divided into primary and secondary causes. The primary cause is primary dyslipidemia caused by a fat-centered diet, lack of exercise, and genetic factors, and the secondary cause is underlying diseases such as hypothyroidism, chronic liver disease, nephrotic syndrome, pregnancy, or drug use. It refers to dyslipidemia caused by factors such as: In cases of genetic predisposition such as familial hypercholesterolemia or familial hypertriglyceridemia, xanthomas, xanthomatoma, hepatomegaly, and renal enlargement may appear, but they are usually asymptomatic and are mostly discovered through blood tests.
이에, 이상지질혈증을 경제적으로 진단할 수 있는 연구가 진행되고 있으며, 대한민국 등록특허 제10-2155306호는 유전자의 변이를 검출하여 고밀도지질단백질콜레스테롤의 수준을 예측하기 위한 조성물 및 키트, 및 이를 이용한 개체의 고밀도지질단백질콜레스테롤 수준을 예측하기 위한 정보를 제공하는 방법을 개시한다. 상기 문헌은 개체의 고밀도지질단백질(HDL) 수준을 조기에 예측하여 심혈관 질환의 발병을 예방하거나 개인 맞춤의학적 치료에 적용할 수 있다.Accordingly, research is underway to economically diagnose dyslipidemia, and Republic of Korea Patent No. 10-2155306 discloses compositions and kits for predicting the level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol by detecting genetic mutations, and using the same. Disclosed is a method for providing information for predicting an individual's high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level. The above literature can be applied to early prediction of an individual's high-density lipoprotein (HDL) level to prevent the onset of cardiovascular disease or to personalized medical treatment.

The reaction was carried out while stirring. Afterwards, the supernatant was obtained from the reaction solution at ℃ for 30 minutes. Only ssDNA was obtained from the obtained supernatant using 100% ethanol and tRNA as described above. The obtained pellet was dried and then diluted in 50 μl of distilled water that does not contain nuclease. SELEX was repeated 7 times using the obtained ssDNA as a template. Afterwards, negative SELEX was performed using only Ni-NTA agarose without ApoB100, and then SELEX was performed again three times. The affinity for ApoB100 of the DNA aptamer contained in each pool obtained during repeated SELEX was confirmed using a spectrophotometer using a conventional nano drop method, and the results are shown in Figure 1 shown in

먼저, 50 ㎕의 LDL(low-density lipoprotien, Sigma aldrich, 미국)과 동량의 ApoB100에 대한 앱타머를 혼합하고, 100 ㎕의 2× 침전 완충액을 첨가하고 실온에서 10분 동안 반응시켰다. 이때, 앱타머는 AB100_1-12, AB100_2-1, AB100_3-1, AB100_3-2, AB100_3-8, AB100_3-10, AB100_3-11, AB100_3-19 또는 AB100_3-20을 사용하였고, 1.14, 3.08 및 5.03 ㎍의 세 농도로 실험하였다. 이때, 대조군으로서 앱타머를 첨가하지 않은 샘플을 사용하였다. 반응이 끝난 후, 상기 혼합물을 5,000 rpm에서 10분 동안 원심분리하여 펠렛을 회수하였다. 회수된 펠렛을 200 ㎕의 1× PBS에 현탁하였다. 상기 현탁액을 96웰 플레이트에 50 ㎕씩 분주하고, 45.6 ㎕의 콜레스테롤 어세이 완충액, 0.4 ㎕의 콜레스테롤 프로브, 2 ㎕의 효소 혼합물, 2 ㎕의 콜레스테롤 에스테라제(cholesterol esterase)를 첨가하였다. 이를 37℃에서 1시간 동안 반응시킨 후, Ex/Em=535/587 ㎚ 조건에서 형광세기를 측정하여 샘플 내 LDL/vLDL 농도를 제조사의 프로토콜에 따라 확인하였다. 그 결과, 앱타머를 첨가하지 않은 샘플의 LDL/vLDL 농도를 기준으로 앱타머를 처리한 경우의 LDL/vLDL 농도를 상대적인 값으로 나타낸 결과를 도 3에 나타내었다.First, 50 ㎕ of LDL (low-density lipoprotien, Sigma aldrich, USA) and the same amount of aptamer for ApoB100 were mixed, 100 ㎕ of 2× precipitation buffer was added, and reacted at room temperature for 10 minutes. At this time, the aptamers used were AB100_1-12, AB100_2-1, AB100_3-1, AB100_3-2, AB100_3-8, AB100_3-10, AB100_3-11, AB100_3-19, or AB100_3-20, and 1.14, 3.08, and 5.03 μg of aptamers were used. Three concentrations were tested. At this time, a sample to which no aptamer was added was used as a control. After the reaction was completed, the mixture was centrifuged at 5,000 rpm for 10 minutes to recover the pellet. The recovered pellet was suspended in 200 μl of 1×PBS. 50 μl of the suspension was dispensed into 96-well plates, and 45.6 μl of cholesterol assay buffer, 0.4 μl of cholesterol probe, 2 μl of enzyme mixture, and 2 μl of cholesterol esterase were added. After reacting at 37°C for 1 hour, the fluorescence intensity was measured under the condition of Ex/Em=535/587 nm to confirm the LDL/vLDL concentration in the sample according to the manufacturer's protocol. As a result, the results showing the relative values of the LDL/vLDL concentration when treated with the aptamer based on the LDL/vLDL concentration of the sample without the addition of the aptamer are shown in Figure 3.
도 3에 나타난 바와 같이, ApB100에 대한 앱타머는 모두 콜레스테롤 저감 효과를 나타내었다. 특히, AB100_1-12, AB100_2-1, AB100_3-1 및 AB100_3-8 앱타머는 1.14 ㎍의 낮은 농도에서도 유의적으로 콜레스테롤을 저감시켰다.As shown in Figure 3, all aptamers for ApB100 showed a cholesterol-reducing effect. In particular, AB100_1-12, AB100_2-1, AB100_3-1, and AB100_3-8 aptamers significantly reduced cholesterol even at a low concentration of 1.14 μg.
실시예 7. 병용 처리에 의한 콜레스테롤 저감Example 7. Cholesterol reduction by combination treatment
상기에서 가장 유의적인 활성을 나타낸 AB100_1-12 앱타머를 콜레스테롤 저감용 치료제인 레시틴(lecithin)과 병용처리한 경우의 콜레스테롤 저감 효과를 확인하였다. 구체적으로, 실험은 실시예 6에 기재된 바와 동일한 방법으로 수행되었고, 1 ㎎의 레시틴에 다양한 농도(0.1, 0.5, 1, 5, 10 또는 50 μM)의 AB100_1-12 앱타머를 첨가하여 실험을 수행하였다. 그 결과, LDL/vLDL 농도를 확인한 결과를 도 4에 나타내었다.The cholesterol-reducing effect was confirmed when AB100_1-12 aptamer, which showed the most significant activity above, was treated in combination with lecithin, a treatment for cholesterol reduction. Specifically, the experiment was performed in the same manner as described in Example 6, and the experiment was performed by adding various concentrations (0.1, 0.5, 1, 5, 10, or 50 μM) of AB100_1-12 aptamer to 1 mg of lecithin. did. As a result, the results of confirming the LDL/vLDL concentration are shown in Figure 4.
도 4에 나타난 바와 같이, 레시틴을 단독으로 처리한 경우, LDL 콜레스테롤의 농도가 약물 미처리군과 비교하여 약 63% 감소하였으며, 여기에 AB100_1-12 앱타머를 병용처리한 경우에는 73 내지 78%까지 콜레스테롤 농도가 감소하였다.As shown in Figure 4, when treated with lecithin alone, the concentration of LDL cholesterol decreased by about 63% compared to the drug-untreated group, and when treated in combination with AB100_1-12 aptamer, it decreased by 73 to 78%. Cholesterol concentration decreased.
따라서, 상기 결과로부터 본 발명에 따른 DNA 앱타머가 세포독성을 보이지 않으면서 ApoB100에 특이적으로 결합하여 콜레스테롤을 저감시킴으로써, 고콜레스테롤에 의해 발생할 수 있는 질환의 치료에 유용하게 사용될 수 있다.Therefore, from the above results, the DNA aptamer according to the present invention reduces cholesterol by specifically binding to ApoB100 without showing cytotoxicity, and can be usefully used in the treatment of diseases that can be caused by high cholesterol.
