Definitions
- the invention belongs to the field of protein engineering and relates to polypeptide molecules capable of inhibiting chymotrypsin (chymotrypsin).
- the invention also relates to hybrid peptides formed by chymotrypsin inhibitory peptides and insulin molecules or their analogues and their polyethylene glycol, acyl group modified or amidated analogues or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.
- the insulin hybrid peptide still maintains the inhibitory activity of chymotrypsin, thereby improving the stability and efficacy of its in vivo administration, resisting the degradation of small intestinal metabolic enzymes, promoting its direct absorption into the blood circulation through the small intestine, and realizing the hybrid peptide of insulin or its analogues. Oral administration.
- Insulin is a blood sugar level-controlling hormone secreted by the pancreas to transport excess glucose from the blood to cells, providing a source of energy and maintaining normal blood sugar levels.
- patients with diabetes are unable to maintain normal insulin function due to insulin deficiency, insulin resistance, and loss of beta cell function. Therefore, diabetic patients cannot utilize glucose in the blood as a source of energy, but instead exhibit symptoms of hyperglycemia with high glucose levels and excrete glucose in the urine, leading to various complications. Therefore, those diabetic patients with abnormal insulin secretion (type I diabetes) or insulin resistance (type II diabetes) basically need insulin treatment, and by injecting insulin, they can maintain normal blood sugar levels.
- insulin Since insulin has an extremely short half-life in the body, like other protein and peptide hormones, it cannot show sustained therapeutic effects, so there is a problem that insulin must be continuously and repeatedly administered to exert its effect. Frequent administration of insulin can cause severe pain and discomfort to patients. Therefore, there is a need to improve insulin use in terms of patient compliance, safety, and convenience.
- peptide drugs including insulin are difficult to be administered orally.
- insulin bioavailability [1,2,3], which mainly include absorption enhancers such as sodium caprate and 8 -Sodium N-[8-(2-hydroxybenzoyl)amino]caprylate (SANC) [4], protease inhibitor (aprotinin), soybean trypsin inhibitor (soybean trypsin inhibitor) and leupeptin (leupeptin)) [5], nanocarriers (such as polymers, lipids and inorganic nanoparticles), and microneedles and microcapsule protein drug delivery devices (such as RaniPill TM Capsule) [6].
- absorption enhancers such as sodium caprate and 8 -Sodium N-[8-(2-hydroxybenzoyl)amino]caprylate (SANC) [4]
- protease inhibitor aprotinin
- soybean trypsin inhibitor soybean trypsin inhibitor
- leupeptin leupeptin
- nanocarriers such as polymers, lipids and inorganic nanop
- Oral insulin administration can use enteric preparation technology to overcome the degradation of gastric acid and pepsin, but the small intestine still contains a variety of protein metabolism enzymes secreted by the pancreas, the most important of which are trypsin and chymotrypsin. Only by overcoming the degradation of small intestinal proteases can the residence time of insulin molecules in the small intestinal environment be prolonged, thereby promoting the absorption of small intestinal epithelium. Although the addition of protease inhibitors and absorption enhancers promotes the intestinal absorption of insulin [8,9], it is still difficult to overcome the protease degradation of insulin after it enters the blood circulation.
- the insulin molecule is composed of two polypeptide chains, the A chain and the B chain, containing 21 and 30 amino acids respectively, connected to each other by two disulfide bonds. Structurally, it is relatively stable against trypsin degradation [10].
- the main protease that degrades insulin in the small intestinal microenvironment is chymotrypsin.
- the existing technology uses D-amino acid substitution, PEG modification, fatty acylation, etc., which still does not solve the problem of oral administration of insulin.

本发明属于蛋白质工程领域,涉及一种小肠糜蛋白酶(chymotrpsin)抑制肽与胰岛素或其类似物形成的杂交肽;杂合的胰岛素类似物能抵御糜蛋白酶的降解进而提高其稳定性,不仅可提高其直接注射给药的疗效,还可以穿透小肠上皮直接吸收进入血循环,实现胰岛素杂交肽类药物的口服给药。本发明还包括制备含有糜蛋白酶抑制肽和胰岛素或其类似物的杂交肽方法。
Description
本发明属于蛋白质工程领域,涉及具有抑制糜蛋白酶(胰凝乳蛋白酶)的多肽分子,本发明还涉及糜蛋白酶抑制肽与胰岛素分子或其类似物形成的杂交肽及其被聚乙二醇化、酰基化或酰胺化修饰的类似物或其药学上可接受的盐。所述胰岛素杂交肽依然保持抑制糜蛋白酶抑制活性,从而提高其体内给药的稳定性和疗效,可抵御小肠代谢酶降解,促进其直接经小肠吸收进入血循环,实现胰岛素或其类似物的杂交肽口服给药。
胰岛素是一种由胰腺分泌的血糖水平控制激素,用于将血液中多余的葡萄糖输送到细胞,从而提供能量来源并维持正常的血糖水平。然而,由于胰岛素缺乏、胰岛素抵抗和β细胞功能丧失,糖尿病患者无法维持正常的胰岛素功能。因此,糖尿病患者不能利用血液中的葡萄糖作为能量来源,而是表现出高葡萄糖水平的高血糖症状,并在尿液中排出葡萄糖,从而导致各种并发症。因此,那些胰岛素分泌异常(I型糖尿病)或胰岛素抵抗(II型糖尿病)的糖尿病患者基本上需要胰岛素治疗,通过注射胰岛素,他们可以保持血糖水平正常。
由于胰岛素在体内的半衰期极短,与其他蛋白质和肽激素一样,它无法显示出持续的治疗效果,因此存在一个问题,即必须连续反复施用胰岛素才能发挥其作用。频繁施用胰岛素会给患者带来严重的疼痛和不适。因此需要从患者依从性、安全性和方便性等方面改进胰岛素的使用。
由于胰岛素的分子量高,易被胃酸、胃蛋白酶和肠道代谢酶(gastrointestinal tract,GIT)水解,以及小肠粘膜上皮的物理障碍,导致包括胰岛素在内的多肽药物难以口服给药。为了克服这些障碍,已经进行了许多不同的研究,在提高胰岛素生物利用度方面取得了积极的研究结果[1,2,3],其中主要包括吸收促进剂如癸酸钠(sodium caprate)和8-(2-羟基苯甲酰胺基)辛酸钠(sodium N-[8-(2-hydroxybenzoyl)amino]caprylate,SANC)[4]、蛋白酶抑制剂(抑肽酶(aprotinin),大豆胰蛋白酶抑制剂(soybean trypsin inhibitor)和亮肽素
(leupeptin))[5]、纳米载体(如聚合物、脂质和无机纳米颗粒)以及微针和微囊类蛋白药物递送装置(如RaniPillTM Capsule)[6]。这些技术也已进行了临床实验研究,但口服胰岛素的生物利用度似乎也仅在1-2%[6,7]。口服胰岛素临床实验没有进入更深入的研究,其主要原因可能与成本效益有关。
口服胰岛素给药可以采用肠溶制剂技术克服胃酸和胃蛋白酶的降解,但在小肠内依然含有多种胰腺分泌的蛋白代谢酶,其中最主要的是胰蛋白酶和糜蛋白酶。只有克服小肠蛋白酶的降解,才能延长胰岛素分子在小肠内环境中驻留时间,进而促进小肠上皮的吸收。尽管蛋白酶抑制剂和吸收促进剂的添加促进了胰岛素的小肠吸收[8,9],但依然难以克服胰岛素进入血循环后的蛋白酶降解。
胰岛素分子由两条多肽链组成,即A链和B链,分别包含21和30个氨基酸,通过两个二硫键相互连接。结构上对胰蛋白酶的降解相对稳定[10],在小肠微环境中降解胰岛素的蛋白酶主要是糜蛋白酶。为提高胰岛素分子抵御蛋白酶降解的稳定性,现有技术是采用D-型氨基酸的取代、PEG修饰和脂肪酰化等,依然没有解决胰岛素口服给药的难题。针对现有技术的不足,本发明分离鉴定一系列抑制糜蛋白酶的抑制肽,然后与胰岛素或其类似物形成杂交肽,解决胰岛素分子被蛋白酶降解的稳定性问题。

丝氨酸蛋白酶抑制肽的P1位点决定不同丝氨酸蛋白酶的专一性,糜蛋白酶(Chymotrypsin)的P1位点为Tyr、Phe,仅有少数几篇文献报道了基于BBI家族多肽骨架衍生的多肽抑制剂具有抗糜蛋白酶活性[11-14],但抑制活性较弱;而文献中披露的具有抑制糜蛋白酶的活性肽仅作为糜蛋白酶抑制剂的功能应用。本
发明依据抑制胰蛋白酶SFTI-1的核心分子骨架为基础,通过替换P1位点改变抑制肽分子骨架的蛋白酶专一性,再进行不同识别位点的替换和抑制活性评价,经过一系列的优化实验,获得了抑制糜蛋白酶的多肽分子骨架为:SEQ ID NO:1、SEQ ID NO:2、SEQ ID NO:3、SEQ ID NO:4、SEQ ID NO:5、SEQ ID NO:6、SEQ ID NO:7、SEQ ID NO:8、SEQ ID NO:9、SEQ ID NO:11、SEQ ID NO:12、SEQ ID NO:13、SEQ ID NO:15、SEQ ID NO:16、SEQ ID NO:17、SEQ ID NO:18、SEQ ID NO:19、SEQ ID NO:20、SEQ ID NO:21、SEQ ID NO:22、SEQ ID NO:23、SEQ ID NO:24、SEQ ID NO:25、SEQ ID NO:26、SEQ ID NO:27和SEQ ID NO:28。本发明提供的上述糜蛋白酶的抑制肽直接与生物活性肽形成融合的杂交肽,改变了作为抑制糜蛋白酶的添加剂仅在释放位点保护了活性多肽免受部分糜蛋白酶的降解,而且能伴随着活性多肽如胰岛素进入血循环,一直保护其抗糜蛋白酶的降解作用。
胰岛素分子本身对胰蛋白酶具有较好的抗性,在小肠代谢酶中最主要的代谢酶是糜蛋白酶,占胰腺分泌的总蛋白的9%[15]。在本发明中利用糜蛋白酶抑制肽直接与胰岛素或其类似物分子形成杂交肽,所形成的杂交肽从小肠的微环境到进入血循环直至发挥药效的整个过程中一直保护其免受蛋白酶的降解。
多肽合成:本发明的多肽可以通过各种方法制备。例如,多肽可通过常用的固相合成方法合成,例如涉及本领域公知的α-氨基的t-BOC或FMOC保护的方法。在这里,氨基酸按顺序添加到一个不断增长的氨基酸链中。固相合成方法特别适合于大规模生产中合成多肽或相对较短的多肽。
酶抑制活性的测定:测定合成的活性多肽类蛋白酶抑制剂(分子骨架)的抑制常数。使用显色底物N-琥珀酰-Ala-Ala-Pro-Phe-p-硝基苯胺(AAPFpNA),通过竞争性结合来测定猪α-糜蛋白酶的抑制活性。对猪α-糜蛋白酶的抑制活性相关实验测定在20mM CaC12、50mM Tris-HC1缓冲液(pH 7.8)中进行。用280nm处的光密度(OD)测定多肽浓度。酶水解底物的米氏常数(Km)由405nm处的底物水解初始速率计算得出。在完全水解后的405nm处测定底物的吸光度值。所有数据均采用非线性回归处理。
胰岛素类似物:
本发明所获得的糜蛋白酶抑制剂可广泛地与胰岛素类似物形成抗糜蛋白酶
降解的杂交肽,提高其稳定性和体内外的生物活性。其中,胰岛素或其类似物并不仅限于本发明中公开的作为示例而选择的胰岛素或其类似物,可以是其B-链中替换一个或几个氨基酸残基的类似物,举例,如SEQ ID NO:74(FVQQHLCGSHLVEALYLVCGERGFFYTPKT)、SEQ ID NO:75(FVNQHLCGSHLVEALYLVCGERGFFYTPKQ)、SEQ ID NO:76(FVNQHLCGSHLVEALYLVCGERGFFYTPKE)、SEQ ID NO:77(FVQQHLCGSHLVEALYLVCGERGFFYTPKE)、SEQ ID NO:78(FVNQHLCGSHLVEALYLVCGERGFFYTDPT)、SEQ ID NO:79(FVNQHLCGSHLVQALYLVCGERGFFYTPKT)、SEQ ID NO:80(FVNQHLCGSHLVEALALVCGERGFFYTPKT)、SEQ ID NO:81(FVNQHLCGSHLVEALYLVCGEEGFFYTPKT)、SEQ ID NO:82(FVNQHLCGSHLVEALYLVCGEEGFFYTLPT)、SEQ ID NO:83(FVNQHLCGSHLVEALYLVCGERGFFYTVPT)、SEQ ID NO:84(FVNQHLCGSHLVEALYLVCGERGFFYTAPT);或者A-链中替换一个或几个氨基酸残基的类似物,举例,如SEQ ID NO:85(GIVEQCCTSICSLEQLENYCN)、SEQ ID NO:86(GIVEQCCTSICSLYQLENYCS)、SEQ ID NO:87(GIVEQCCHSICSLYQLENYCN)、SEQ ID NO:88(GIVEQCCWSICSLYQLENYCN)、SEQ ID NO:89(GIVEQCCMSICSLYQLENYCN)。
杂交肽前体蛋白的蛋白酶剪切与成熟:
本发明中的杂交肽,利用真核细胞进行其前体蛋白的异源分泌表达,其中在表达宿主细胞内蛋白酶Kex2进行前体蛋白的剪切促进其分泌表达;然后再利用烟草花叶病毒的蛋白酶TEV酶具有宽泛的底物特性[16],对分泌表达的前体蛋白(胰岛素类似物)B-链和A-链的N-端融合肽段(ENLYFQ,SEQ ID NO:69)进行剪切修饰,释放正确的B-链或A-链;同时在前体蛋白(胰岛素类似物)B-链和A-链的C-端引入镍离子诱导剪切的肽段(G↓SRHW)(SEQ ID NO:72、SEQ ID NO:73)[17]。此外,还可以再使用羧肽酶B处理或不处理,可分别获得C-末端不含有或含有两个碱性氨基酸“RR”的杂合肽;B-链或A-链的C-末端含有镍离子诱导剪切肽段(G↓SRHW)时,经镍离子介导剪切后会在其C-
端融合一个甘氨酸(Gly)残基,可以使用重组酰胺化酶进行处理,使得成熟的B-链或A-链的C-末端形成一个酰胺化的保护性修饰。
C-多肽:也称为C-肽(Peptide),天然的C-肽是有31个氨基酸组成的单链多肽,在胰岛素原分子中连接B-链和A-链。本发明描述为连接胰岛素或其类似物杂交肽的前体蛋白中B-链和A-链之间的多肽,可以与天然的C-肽氨基酸结构相同或不同。

实施例2抑制糜蛋白酶的多肽分子的设计及抑制活性评价
米氏常数Km值的测定:
(1)往96孔板中加入198μL、20mM CaC12、50mM Tris-HC1缓冲液(pH 7.8),37℃预热15min。再加入2μL不同浓度的底物pNA(DMSO配置),500rpm混匀1min,置于37℃孵育20min,测定OD405nm的吸光度值。200μL反应体系中,pNA的终浓度分别为0、0.025、0.05、0.075、0.1、0.125、0.15、0.25、和0.3mM。每个浓度做三个复孔,以pNA浓度对OD405nm值作图,求得标准曲线。
(2)往96孔板中加入190μL、20mM CaC12、50mM Tris-HC1缓冲液(pH 7.8)及8μL、0.75μM的糜蛋白酶,37℃预热5min。再加入2μL不同浓度的底物AAPFpNA(DMSO配置),500rpm混匀1min,置于37℃反应20min,测定OD405
nm的吸光度值。200μL反应体系中,AAPFpNA的终浓度分别为0、0.125、0.25、0.285、0.33、0.4和0.5mM。每个浓度做三个复孔,以时间对OD405nm值作图,求得相应的曲线。以曲线的斜率除以标准曲线的斜率和酶浓度,得到初速度V0(mM/(min*mM protein))。利用Prism软件、以底物AAPFpNA的浓度对初速度V0作图,即得到糜蛋白酶水解AAPFpNA的米氏常数Km值。
抑制常数Ki值的测定:
(1)将不同浓度的糜蛋白酶抑制肽(CHs)骨架、20mM CaC12、50mM Tris-HC1缓冲液(pH 7.8)加入预冷的96孔板中,总体积190μL,37℃预热5min(500rpm离心1min,静置4min)。加入8μL、750nM的糜蛋白酶,37℃孵育10min(500rpm离心1min,静置9min)。加入2μL、50mM的底物AAPFpNA,500rpm混匀1min,置于37℃反应90min,测定OD405nm的吸光度值。每个浓度做三个复孔,空白对照只加缓冲液和底物,作为最小吸收值(Min OD405nm);阴性对照只加缓冲液、酶和底物,作为最大吸收值(Max OD405nm)。
(2)200μL反应体系中,糜蛋白酶的终浓度约30nM,AAPFpNA的终浓度约0.5mM。
(3)数据统计
酶的剩余活性(%)=(1-(Max OD405nm-Sample OD405nm)/(Max OD405nm-Min OD405nm))*100
以底物浓度对酶的剩余活性作图,求得CHs骨架抑制糜蛋白酶的半数抑制浓度(IC50),再代入公式Ki=IC50/(1+S/Km)(S、IC50和Km分别是底物浓度、半数抑制浓度和米氏常数)即可求得CHs骨架抑制糜蛋白酶的抑制常数Ki。
结果:
利用不同的AAPFpNA浓度对一定浓度的糜蛋白酶催化水解产生pNA测定OD405nm的吸光度值,参照标准曲线,利用Prism软件、以底物AAPFpNA的浓度对初速度V0作图,即得到糜蛋白酶水解AAPFpNA的米氏常数Km值为0.38mM(R2=0.9988)(图1)。
天然Bowman-Birk家族的蛋白酶抑制剂(Bowman-Birk inhibitor,BBI)大多含有两个独立的抑制位点,分别抑制胰蛋白酶和糜蛋白酶;大豆BBI是由71个氨基酸残基组成,由7个二硫键交联,其中一个抑制胰蛋白酶的位点位于Lys16-Ser17,另一个抑制糜蛋白酶的位点位于Leu 43-Ser44,它与胰蛋白酶或胰凝乳蛋白酶形成1:1复合物,并与这两种酶形成三元复合物。这种天然结构的BBI抑制蛋白酶活性较弱,有文献报道[McBride JD,Freeman N,Domingo GJ,Leatherbarrow RJ.Selection of chymotrypsin inhibitors from a conformationally-constrained combinatorial peptide library.J Mol Biol,1996,259:819-827.]可通过简化BBI结构可获得单一抑制活性的由二硫键连接的环肽。本发明结合糜蛋白酶P1位点的特异性(特异性地识别Tyr和Phe)以及P1'和P3'的保守性,设计合成了由二硫键环化且具有核心结构为“CTYSIPPQC”的一系列多肽(表1),体外的抑制活性测定获得2个具有较高抑制活性的多肽CH10和CH5,其IC50值分别为0.06μM和0.19μM(表2),结果证实P1位点对糜蛋白酶的抑制活性影响较大;然后在CH10的基础上对其P4和P7'氨基酸残基进行替换获得了CH11、CH35和CH51,其抑制活性降低了近7倍,说明P4和P7'氨基酸残基可增强与糜蛋白酶的活性位点的分子间作用力(表2);通过对比CH33、CH34和CH10的抑制活性差异,可见具有较强极性的P8'甘氨酸更有利于增强其与蛋白酶之间的分子间作用(表2);P5位点的延长(CH25、CH26)和P4'位点的氨基酸替换(CH18)对抑制活性没有大的改变(表2,图2,3,4)。
SFTI-1(GRCTKSIPPICFPD)相对其它BBI家族的蛋白酶抑制剂分子,其结
构特殊仅含有一对二硫键,具有首-尾环化的结构。根据糜蛋白酶P1位点的特异性,直接突变其P1位点的Lys为Tyr或Phe,设计合成了多肽CH54和CH55(表1),二者均具有很好的抑制糜蛋白酶活性,其IC50分别为0.03μM和0.02μM(图5)。为进一步简化其结构合成了CH56、CH57和CH58(表1),三者的抑制可以看出P8'位的Pro会产生空间位阻,降低其抑制作用,导致其IC50(0.62μM)相对于CH55(IC50=0.02μM)降低30多倍(表2);同时对比CH57和CH58的抑制活性,说明P5位的Gly有利于增强抑制肽与糜蛋白酶活性中心区的相互作用,P5位点的氨基酸残基对其抑制活性影响较大;结果也表明CH58是与糜蛋白酶活性中心相互作用的核心骨架(表2)。同时合成P4和P7'位点氨基酸取代的多肽CH59-CH62(表1),其抑制活性较CH57稍弱,抑制糜蛋白酶的IC50分别为0.18μM、0.09μM、0.12μM、0.15μM(表2,图6);还在CH57的基础上合成一系列二硫键扩环的多肽CH65-CH71(表1),其中CH65、CH68-CH71均显示出较好的抑制糜蛋白酶活性,其IC50分别为0.48μM、0.45μM、0.30μM、0.25μM、0.41μM(表2,图7)。

公司),通过Shuffle T7宿主菌进行异源表达,以增加蛋白的可溶性,促进蛋白正确折叠。为方便利用His-Tag纯化目标蛋白,先使用引物Cold-Nhe1/Cold-Nde1(SEQ ID NO:154和155)(表5)进行PCR扩增质粒pCold-MBP上的DNA片段,再利用限制性内切酶Nhe I和Nde I置换载体上对应的载体结构片段,消除促进可溶性表达的MBP标签N-末端的His-Tag标签,即得到质粒pCold-MBP-T。然后利用引物TEV-BamH1/TEV-Sal1(SEQ ID NO:156和157)(表5)直接扩增人工合成的烟草花叶病毒蛋白酶TEV编码框(SEQ ID NO:158),利用限制性内切酶BamH I和Sal I定向插入到质粒pCold-MBP-T,经过连接(II One Step Cloning Kit试剂盒)、转化、阳性克隆筛选和测序验证即得到表达质粒载体pCold-TEV,可实现TEV的可溶性表达和融合标签MBP的自剪切。

人胰岛素、胰岛素类似物及其杂交肽对糜蛋白酶酶解过程如下:取三个无菌的EP管,每个EP管中加入9μL、1mM人胰岛素、胰岛素类似物及其杂交肽及138μL、20mM CaC12、50mM Tris-HC1缓冲液(pH 7.8)。同时,在另一个无菌的EP管中配置一定体积的0.05μg/μL的糜蛋白酶酶液。然后将含有多肽和酶的四个EP管同时置于37℃预热5min,往每份含多肽的EP管中分别加入3μL
糜蛋白酶酶液并混匀。开始计时,于反应的0.5、1.0、2.0、3.0和4.0h分别取出25μL反应液,加入3.75μL、10%TFA终止反应,8000rpm离心30s混匀。
上述实验样品在25μL反应体系中,人胰岛素、胰岛素类似物及其杂交肽的终浓度是60μM,糜蛋白酶的终浓度是1.0ng/μL。每个时间点有三次重复,利用RP-HPLC检测各时间点多肽的峰面积,计算检测时间T(h)样品的剩余峰面积和0h原型多肽的峰面积之比为多肽的剩余百分比(%)。
结果:人胰岛素经糜蛋白酶酶解4h后仅剩余约10.3%,其对糜蛋白酶酶解的稳定性较低,而引入含有糜蛋白酶抑制骨架CH57或CH10的胰岛素类似物杂交肽呈现出非常好的抗胰蛋白酶酶解的稳定性,经酶解4h剩余量超过近80%。

结果:胰岛素类似物如赖脯胰岛素LisPro与阳性对照相比,显示出很好的降血糖活性;同样含有糜蛋白酶抑制肽的胰岛素杂交肽(Ins3-B-CH57N、Ins3-B-CH57C、Ins3-A-CH10M、Ins3-A-CH57M)也显示出很好的降血糖活性(表
7);说明无论是在其B-链的N-末端、B-链的C-末端还是A-链的中间均未显示结构上糜蛋白酶抑制肽影响其与胰岛素受体之间的相互作用。但是生物表达制备的A-链的N-端和A-链的C-端融合糜蛋白酶抑制肽活性较弱(Ins3-A-CH57N和Ins3-A-CH57C),其原因可能是没有形成正确的二硫键结构,可能是假阴性结果。

正常ICR小鼠,经吸入乙醚麻醉后,手术取出十二指肠,注入胰岛素类似物或相应体积的生理盐水(0.1mL/10g B.W.,n=6-10),然后缝合伤口,分别于给药后40min和90min尾尖采血,以葡萄糖氧化酶法测定血糖水平,计算各时刻血糖值。计算值以“平均值±标准误”表示,p<0.05被认为具有统计学差异。
结果:与正常对照组相比,只有胰岛素杂交肽Ins3-B-CH57C、Ins3-A-CH10M和
Ins3-A-CH57M十二指肠给药后能够显著降低小鼠40min的血糖值,血糖值分别降低12.1%、11.9%和15.3%(表8)。说明糜蛋白酶抑制肽在B-链的C-末端和A-链的中间时对胰岛素均有很好的保护作用,提高了它们的体内稳定性,且促进了胰岛素杂交肽经小肠上皮吸收进入血液循环。
