  • astrocytes are the most abundant glial cells and are an important part of the nervous system. In the human brain, the number of astrocytes is several times that of neurons [11]. Astrocytes are distributed in all brain regions and play an important "strategic position" in tightly integrating with neurons. Astrocytes have long been viewed as glial cells that merely provide structural support to neurons.
  • astrocytes can maintain the extracellular environment, stabilize communication between cells, and mediate the physiological and pathological states of neurons [12].
  • the function of astrocytes mainly relies on their ability to release and absorb molecules in the extracellular microenvironment, thereby protecting or damaging neurons. Therefore, elucidating the role of astrocytes in DA neuron damage caused by environmental toxicants is of great significance for scientifically formulating prevention and treatment strategies for neurotoxicity caused by environmental toxicants.
  • Astrocytes can influence neuronal survival through different molecular mechanisms. In a co-culture model of neurons and astrocytes, neurons were more resistant to oxidative damage when astrocytes were present. Glutamic acid is the most abundant excitatory amino acid (EAA) in the central nervous system. Glutamic acid-induced excitotoxicity is an important mechanism of neuronal death in central nervous system hemorrhage, trauma, and neurodegenerative diseases [13]. Part of the EAA in the synaptic cleft is degraded by enzymes, and the other part is taken back by EAA transporters (EAAT) located on the membranes of neurons and glial cells and is quickly inactivated.
  • EAA transporters EAA transporters
  • GLT-1 Various toxic molecules and growth factors can enhance the expression of GLT-1 and weaken the excitability by activating the NF- ⁇ B signaling pathway in astrocytes. Neurotoxicity. However, under the stimulation of the pro-inflammatory factor TNF- ⁇ , the activation of the astrocyte NF- ⁇ B signaling pathway did not increase the expression of GLT-1. Instead, NF- ⁇ B and N-myc increased the expression of GLT-1 at the GLT-1 promoter. Bind to each other and inhibit the expression of GLT-1. It can be seen that the expression of GLT-1 in astrocytes is crucial for the effects of neurotoxicity, and NF- ⁇ B activation is necessary to activate or inhibit GLT-1 [15].

  • astrocytes In various CNS diseases, the size of astrocytes increases excessively, changing from normal astrocytes to activated astrocytes. During this process, the expression of IFs, especially GFAP, increases. The expression of GFAP in the hypothalamus of PD patients is also significantly increased compared with normal people [22], suggesting that GFAP, a component of the astrocyte cytoskeleton, plays an important role in CNS diseases [23].
  • the above analysis shows that the selective toxic effects of environmental toxicants on nigrostriatal dopamine neurons involve complex mechanisms such as activation of the NF- ⁇ B signaling pathway, protein phosphorylation, and cytoskeletal changes.

  • Professor Zhou Jianwei leads the research team to conduct long-term research on the function and role of JWA gene in tumors and the nervous system. We used a Drosophila model in which the JWA gene was deleted and found that Drosophila with defects in JWA expression were less likely to develop tolerance to repeated exposure to ethanol [24].
  • Rat and cell models using antisense nucleic acids to inhibit JWA expression found that JWA maintains the stability of the opiate receptor DOR through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, thus having a direct regulatory effect on morphine dependence in rats [25].

  • NF- ⁇ B and MAPK signaling pathways
  • JWA is involved in regulating cellular aging by regulating the activity of NF- ⁇ B transcription factors.
  • the mechanism is that JWA regulates the degradation of IKK ⁇ through the ubiquitin proteasome pathway and inhibits Nuclear entry of p65.
  • H 2 O 2 induces the cellular nuclear factor NFI to bind to the CCAAT element in the proximal promoter region of JWA, thereby activating the expression of JWA in response to oxidative stress [26]; JWA regulates nuclear factors E2F1 and XRCC1 expression enhances the ability to repair DNA damage.
  • JWA inhibits the oxidative stress produced by paraquat and activates GSH and Nrf2 through MAPK and PI3K signaling pathways, effectively antagonizing paraquat-induced dopamine neuron damage in mice (see Figure 1, Panel A) [28]; for further research, Regarding the role of astrocyte JWA in the process of PD, we used astrocyte JWA knockout mice on a C57 background to construct a chronic model of MPTP, and further explored the molecules that astrocyte JWA affects the survival of DA neurons. Basically, it was found that deletion of the JWA gene in astrocytes can increase the sensitivity of mice to MPTP and paraquat.

Transfer; further research found that this polypeptide can cross the blood-brain barrier [31].
  • JP1 can target integrin ⁇ V ⁇ 3 that is highly expressed on the surface of melanoma after being connected to the RGD sequence, it is still unclear whether the JP1 targeting peptide can be used to treat central nervous system diseases such as Parkinson's disease, and further exploration and research are urgently needed.

Description

JWA多肽在制备抗帕金森病药物方面的应用 技术领域
本发明涉及JWA多肽在制备抗帕金森病药物方面的应用,属于中枢神经系统药物技术领域。
背景技术
帕金森氏病(Parkinson’s disease,PD)为常见的神经退行性疾病,其主要病理特征为:黑质致密部(SNc)多巴胺(dopamine,DA)神经元变性、缺失,纹状体DA递质减少,胶质细胞增生,并且伴随着胞内嗜酸性路易小体形成。临床流行病学调查结果显示,65岁以上人群PD患病率达超过1%,并且随着年龄的增长PD的患病率也呈增加的趋势,85岁以上人群PD患病风险进一步增加到4%[1]。2010年,美国大约有630,000人被诊断患有PD,到2040年,确诊率可能翻倍;在美国,PD的经济负担在2010年超过144亿美元(每名患者约22,800美元),预计在未来几十年内将大幅增长[2]。中国目前帕金森病患者人数已达到约200多万人,约占全球50%。同时,目前帕金森发病呈现年轻化趋势。虽然对PD的认识由来已久,但PD的发病机制尚不清楚,也缺乏行之有效的治疗办法,深入认识PD的病理机制并建立有效的治疗策略显得尤为重要。
帕金森病作为全球第二大神经退行性疾病,影响着无数患者的身心健康。PD患者主要出现以下临床症状:运动障碍、肌肉强直、静止性震颤等运动症状,并伴有嗅觉减退、睡眠障碍、精神症状、认知障碍等非运动症状。PD确切的发病机制尚不清楚,因此PD仍然是一种不能治愈的疾病。临床治疗上主要用左旋多巴(Levodopa,L-Dopa)弥补缺失的多巴胺(Dopamine,DA),从而缓解PD的运动症状,但这种疗法治标不治本,无法治愈PD或延缓疾病的进一步发展,且长期服用还会引发一系列的并发症,如运动障碍(L-Dopa-induced dyskinesias,LIDs)、症状波动等。因此,亟需深入探究PD的致病机制,为开发治疗PD的新型疗法提供方向。
环境及遗传因素均是PD最为重要的致病因素。研究表明,常染色体显性遗传基因(SNCA、LRRK2)及常染色体隐性基因(PARK2、DJ1、PINK1、ATP13A2)可以通过线粒体功能紊乱、氧化应激、神经炎症、自噬不足及溶酶体功能障碍等多种机制引起DA神经元的死亡[3,4]。环境毒物的急性或慢性暴露可导致包括神经系统在内的人体多器官系统的损伤。在农业方面主要是农药的大量使用,如杀虫剂鱼藤酮和除草剂百草枯等;在工业方面主要是重金属元素的污染。1-甲基-4-苯基-1,2,3,6-四氢砒啶(MPTP)的暴露引起PD的发现,引起了对农药暴露与PD关系的研究,因为百草枯和鱼藤酮等农药均为MPTP的结构和功能类似物。流行病学研究表明农药暴露、务农和农村生活与患神经退行性疾病的风险相关,其高剂量暴露可增加多巴胺神经元的死亡,从而增加帕金森疾病的发生率[5]。鱼藤酮(Rotenone,RT)和百草枯(Paraquat,PQ)一直被视为有效的杀虫剂和除草剂而广泛应用于农业。但近年来,其对中枢神经的毒性作用以及可能与PD的潜在联系成为人们关注的焦点[6,7]。流行病学研究报道了长期使用RT和PQ与PD高发病率存在正相关[8]。动物和细胞水平的机制研究表明,二者与MPTP的代谢产物1-甲基-4-苯基吡啶离子(MPP +)的作用靶点相同,它们均可抑制线粒体电子转移链复合酶Ⅰ的活性,损害线粒体的功能,并引起氧化应激和炎症反应从而诱导PD的发生[9,10]。要有效降低环境毒物对多巴胺神经元的损伤,减少PD的发生,就必须对环境毒物致神经系统损伤的分子机制有深入了解,才能提出创新性的防治策略。
为了研究DA神经元损伤致神经退行性病变的机制,研究者把注意力主要集中在受损的神经元。然而,大量的研究表明邻近的神经胶质细胞在这些神经元死亡进程中也起着重要的作用。哺乳动物脑中,星形胶质细胞是含量最多的胶质细胞,是神经系统的重要组成部分,在人脑中星形胶质细胞的数量更是神经元的数倍[11]。星形胶质细胞在所有的脑区都有分布,并且与神经元紧密结合具有重要的“战略地位”。长期以来,星形胶质细胞被视为仅为神经元提供结构支持的胶质细胞。越来越多的研究表明,星形胶质细胞结构和功能的异常在多种神经性退行性疾病、脑损伤及中枢神经系统炎症方面都具有重要的作用。星形胶质细胞可以维持细胞外环境,稳定细胞之间的通信并介导神经元的生理及病理状态[12]。星形胶质细胞发挥其功能主要是依赖于它们可以释放和吸收细胞外微环境中的分子,从而起到对神经元的保护或损伤作用。因此,阐明环境毒物致DA神经元损伤中星形胶质细胞所扮演的角色,对于科学制定环境毒物引起神经毒性的防治策略具有非常重要的意义。
星形胶质细胞可以通过不同的分子机制影响神经元的存活。在神经元和星形胶质细胞联合培养模型中,当星形胶质细胞存在时,神经元对氧化损伤的抵抗能力增强。谷氨酸是中枢神经系统含量最多的兴奋性氨基酸(excitatory amino acid,EAA)。谷氨酸引起的兴奋毒性是中枢神经系统出血、创伤和神经退行性疾病等神经元死亡的重要机制[13]。突触间隙中的一部分EAA在酶的作用下被降解,另一部分被位于神经元和胶质细胞膜上的EAA转运体(EAA transporters,EAAT)摄回而被迅速灭活。当细胞间隙的谷氨酸含量过高时,可以与神经元表面的谷氨酸受体结合,引起神经元的兴奋性毒性,导致神经元的死亡。星形胶质细胞具有摄取谷氨酸的能力,其特异性的表达GLAST及GLT-1是谷氨酸摄取的关键分子。中枢神经系统中超过90%的谷氨酸都是通过GLT-1进行再摄取的[14]。一旦谷氨酸的摄取发生障碍,导致细胞间隙兴奋性氨基酸含量过高,即可引起神经兴奋性毒性从而导致PD在内的多种神经退行性疾病的发生。GLT-1的启动子上有多个NF-κB的结合位点,多种毒性分子及生长因子可以通过激活星形胶质细胞中的NF-κB信号通路增强GLT-1的表达,减弱兴奋性神经毒性。然而,在促炎因子TNF-α的刺激下,星形胶质细胞NF-κB信号通路被激活后并没有提高GLT-1的表达,反而,NF-κB与N-myc在GLT-1启动子上相互结合从而抑制了GLT-1的表达。由此可见,星形胶质细胞GLT-1的表达对于神经兴奋毒性的影响至关重要,而NF-κB活化是激活或抑制GLT-1所必需的[15]。
与神经元相比,胶质细胞拥有更强大的抗氧化酶合成系统,胞内抗氧化酶和Ⅱ型解毒酶的含量也远高于神经元。存在这种差别的原因之一是,与神经元相比,星形胶质细胞中的核因子E2相关因子(Nrf2)被优先激活[16,17]。Nrf2激活后可以与启动子上具有抗氧化应激反应元件(ARE)的基因结合,从而激活多种细胞保护性基因的表达。星形胶质细胞Nrf2的表达高低对整个神经系统抵御氧化损伤的能力起决定性作用,在小鼠MPTP模型中伴随着Nrf2的功能缺失。多种激酶能够引起Nrf2的激活,包括PKC、蛋白激酶CK2、PI3K、JNK、ERK等,因而磷酸化是调控Nrf2依赖性基因表达的关键[18-21]。在真核细胞中,微管、微丝和中间丝(IFs)共同组成细胞的骨架结构。在神经系统中,IFs主要存在于神经元和星形胶质细胞中。星形胶质细胞中的IFs包括巢蛋白、波形蛋白、联丝蛋白等,胶质纤维酸性蛋白(Glial fibrillary acid protein,GFAP)是最主要的IF。在多种CNS疾病中,星形胶质细胞体积过度增大,由常态的星形胶质细胞变为活化的星形胶质细胞。在此过程中,IFs特别是GFAP的表达量增加。PD病人与正常人相比其下丘脑GFAP的表达量也显著增加[22],提示星形胶质细胞细胞骨架成分GFAP 在CNS疾病中发挥重要作用[23]。综上分析,环境毒物致黑质纹状体多巴胺神经元的选择性毒作用,涉及NF-κB信号通路激活、蛋白的磷酸化以及细胞骨架改变等复杂机制。
JWA基因(又名ARL6IP5),是周建伟等率先从维甲酸诱导的人支气管上皮(HBE)细胞分化模型中发现和克隆并长期聚焦研究的环境应答基因,其编码蛋白是一种细胞骨架结合蛋白,在正常细胞可参与调节细胞分化、应答氧化应激、DNA修复等过程。周建伟教授带领课题组长期围绕着JWA基因在肿瘤及神经系统中的功能及作用展开研究。我们用剔除JWA基因的果蝇模型发现,JWA表达缺陷的果蝇不易对反复暴露乙醇产生耐受[24]。用反义核酸抑制JWA表达的大鼠和细胞模型发现,JWA通过泛素蛋白酶体途径维护鸦片受体DOR的稳定性,从而对大鼠吗啡依赖有直接的调节作用[25]。JWA参与调节NF-κB和MAPK等信号通路,在细胞水平上已证实JWA通过调控NF-κB转录因子活性参与调控细胞衰老等,其机制是JWA通过泛素蛋白酶体途径调节IKKβ的降解,且抑制p65的入核。在氧化应激条件下,H 2O 2诱导细胞内核因子NFI与JWA近端启动子区CCAAT元件结合,从而激活JWA的表达应答氧化应激[26];JWA通过MAPK信号通路调节核因子E2F1和XRCC1表达而增强对DNA损伤的修复能力。
前期在以A129小鼠为背景的星形胶质细胞JWA基因剔除小鼠研究中发现,星形胶质JWA基因敲除之后对MPTP极其敏感,提示星形胶质细胞中的JWA是中枢神经系统抵御外界毒物刺激的关键分子[27]。JWA通过MAPK和PI3K信号通路抑制百草枯产生的氧化应激并激活GSH和Nrf2,有效拮抗百草枯所致的小鼠多巴胺神经元损伤(见图1的A图)[28];为进一步研究在PD进程中星形胶质细胞JWA所扮演的角色,采用C57背景的星形胶质细胞JWA基因敲除小鼠构建MPTP慢性模型,并深入探索星形胶质细胞JWA影响DA神经元存活的分子基础,结果发现,星形胶质细胞JWA基因的缺失能够增加小鼠对MPTP及百草枯的敏感性。在机制研究中,我们首次发现JWA基因能通过MAPK/ERK及PI3K/Akt两条信号通路激活下游的CREB转录因子对下游的GLT-1产生调控,并最终引起细胞外间隙谷氨酸含量的改变(见图1的B图)[29]。此外,JWA还下调IKKβ从而抑制NFκB信号通路介导的神经炎症对PD的影响(见图1的C图)[30]。这些发现作为早期研究成果,为实现针对星形胶质细胞JWA为靶点的PD治疗奠定了基础。
前期课题组基于JWA功能片段筛选的多肽JP1,通过其连接的RGD序列靶向高表达整合素αVβ3后进入胞内,负调控核转录因子SP1,下调αVβ3表达,可有效抑制小鼠黑色素瘤生长、转移;进一步研究发现,该多肽可以穿过血脑屏障[31]。
虽然JP1连接RGD序列后能够靶向黑色素瘤表面高表达的整合素αVβ3,但是JP1靶向肽能否用于治疗中枢神经系统疾病如帕金森病等尚不清楚,亟待进一步探索和研究。对此,发明人课题组已有最新的研究成果,并以此来申请本发明专利。

实施例6
本实施例为设计验证JP1治疗MPTP诱导的小鼠帕金森病效果的方案。注:JP1的序列为FPGSDRF-RGD,其中,氨基酸S经磷酸化修饰。
如图7所示,验证JP1抗PD效果的设计方案包括:将C57BL/6小鼠分为4组,分别为溶剂对照组,溶剂+JP1组,MPTP组和MPTP+JP1组。
对于MPTP+JP1组:JP1经小鼠尾静脉注射给药,剂量为150mg/kg,每天1次,连续7天;在JP1给药次日起,给予小鼠PD模型毒物MPTP背部皮下注射,剂量为30mg/kg,每天1次且在JP1给药后2小时给予,丙磺舒(250mg/kg)在MPTP注射1h后用微量注射器进行腹腔注射给药(现用现配),MPTP和丙磺舒均连续给药5天。
对于MPTP组:MPTP(30mg/kg)通过背部皮下注射的方式进行给药,丙磺舒(250mg/kg)在MPTP注射1h后用微量注射器进行腹腔注射给药(现用现配)。连续给药5天。

对于溶剂对照组:按MPTP组的给药方案,将MPTP等量替换为无菌生理盐水,其余均相同。
各组统一计时起点,以JP1第1次给药为第1天,并以MPTP第1次给药为第2天。在模型开始后第13天对模型小鼠行为学变化特征进行评估,并在第14天结束模型,取脑组织,制备脑片进行PD相关分子标志物检测分析和评估治疗效果。
实施例7
本实施例为评估JP1逆转MPTP所致小鼠PD探索性行为异常的治疗效果(旷场实验)。
旷场实验是用于验证MPTP处理的PD小鼠旷场实验行为学变化的检测指标。检测评估时间点是实施例6设计方案中开始给药的第13天。用于检测小鼠自发活动行为和探索性行为。PD模型小鼠常常表现为自发货都给减少和探索性行为不活跃,对外界新鲜环境不敏感。
结果如图8所示:与溶剂对照组比较,溶剂+JP1组表明,JP1处理对小鼠行自发活动和探索性行为有所增加;MPTP组表明,MPTP处理小鼠则自发活动和到旷场中心区域的探索性行为显著减少(P <0.05);MPTP+JP1组表明,JP1干预能显著逆转MPTP处理导致的自发活动行为和探索性行为减少(P<0.01)。
实施例8
本实施例为评估JP1逆转MPTP所致小鼠行为异常的治疗效果(爬杆和转棒实验)。
爬杆和转棒实验是用于验证MPTP处理的PD小鼠神经协调能力的行为指标。检测评估时间点是实施例6设计方案中开始给药的第13天。爬杆测试用于评估小鼠基底神经节相关运动障碍,转棒实验主要检测小鼠中枢神经系统协调功能。PD可表现为爬杆时间延长和转棒协调能力降低,时间缩短。
结果如图9所示:与溶剂对照组比较,溶剂+JP1组表明,JP1单独处理对小鼠爬杆时间和从转棒掉落时间并无显著差异;MPTP组表明,MPTP处理后的PD模型小鼠则爬杆时间明显延长(P<0.01),而从转棒掉落时间明显缩短;MPTP+JP1组表明,JP1干预能显著改善MPTP导致的小鼠爬杆和转棒行为变化(P<0.01)。
实施例9
本实施例为评估JP1拮抗MPTP所致PD小鼠多巴胺神经元缺失的治疗效果(抗-TH IHC染色)。
TH表达变化是用于验证MPTP处理的PD小鼠中脑黒质致密区多巴胺神经元的指标。检测评估时间点是实施例6设计方案中开始给药的第14天。TH是一种单加氧酶,它是催化生物体自身合成左旋多巴胺(L-Dopamine,DA)系列反应的第一步反应的限速酶。TH表达水平实际就反映脑内多巴胺神经元数量和递质水平,PD常导致TH显著减少。
结果如图10所示:与溶剂对照组比较,溶剂+JP1组表明,JP1单独处理对TH表达水平无明显影响;MPTP组表明,MPTP处理组TH表达水平显著下降(P<0.01);MPTP+JP1组表明,JP1干预能使TH水平明显改善(P<0.01)。
实施例10
本实施例为评估JP1拮抗MPTP所致PD小鼠多巴胺神经元缺失的治疗效果(尼氏染色)。
针对神经元胞浆中尼氏颗粒进行染色以评估MPTP诱导的PD模型小鼠中脑多巴胺神经元数量。检测评估时间点是实施例6设计方案中开始给药的第14天。尼氏小体是神经元蛋白质合成场所,当神经元受到刺激和损伤后尼氏小体数量会减少。因此高染色结果常常用作观察神经元受损情况。
结果如图11所示:与溶剂对照组比较,溶剂+JP1组表明,JP1单独处理对中脑多按按神经元尼氏小体数量没有明显影响;MPTP组表明,MPTP处理后的PD小鼠则尼氏小体明显减少(P<0.01);MPTP+JP1组表明,JP1干预后可显著逆转MPTP导致的多巴胺神经元尼氏小体数量减少(P<0.01)。
实施例11
本实施例为评估JP1拮抗MPTP所致PD小鼠星形胶质细胞增生的治疗效果(抗-GFAP IHC染色)。
针对PD模型特征以评估脑星形胶质细胞活化和增殖的胶质源性纤维酸性蛋白GFAP表达水平。检测评估时间点是实施例6设计方案中开始给药的第14天。胶质源性纤维酸性蛋白GFAP是星形胶质细胞的特异性分子标志物,其表达水平高低反映脑星形胶质细胞数量和活化程度。
结果如图12所示:与溶剂对照组比较,溶剂+JP1组表明,JP1单独处理对脑星形胶质细胞GFAP 表达水平无显著影响;MPTP组表明,MPTP处理的PD小鼠可见GFAP表达水平显著增加(P<0.01);MPTP+JP1组表明,JP1干预可显著逆转MPTP导致的GFAP增加(P<0.01)。
实施例12
本实施例为评估JP1拮抗MPTP所致PD小鼠小胶质细胞增生的治疗效果(抗-Iba1IHC染色)。
用于验证MPTP所致PD模型中脑小胶质细胞激活的分子标志物表达水平。检测评估时间点是实施例设计方案中开始给药的第14天。小胶质细胞是脑组织中主要免疫炎症细胞。钙离子是已知的所有细胞(包括中枢神经系统(CNS)细胞)中最重要的信号调节信号分子之一。钙离子通过与各种钙结合蛋白结合发挥信号活动,其中许多钙结合蛋白被划分成一个大的蛋白家族,即EF手性蛋白家族。钙离子接头蛋白-1(Iba1)是一个17kDa的EF手性蛋白,在小胶质细胞中表达,并在这些细胞的活化过程中表达升高。
结果如图13所示:与溶剂对照组相比,溶剂+JP1组表明,JP1单独处理对中脑黒质致密区Iba-1表达水平无明显影响;MPTP组表明,MPTP处理的PD小鼠Iba-1表达显著增加(P<0.01);MPTP+JP1组表明,JP1干预则可逆转MPTP导致的Iba-1增加(P<0.01)。
实施例13
本实施例为评估JP1分别对鱼藤酮(Rot)致小鼠海马神经元细胞HT-22和人神经胶质母细胞瘤细胞(SH-SYSY)活力(CCK8试验)的保护作用。
结果如图14所示,用Rot(2.5μM)单独处理或Rot(2.5μM)与JP1(25、50、100μM)共同处理HT-22细胞24和48小时后细胞存活率结果显示,与溶剂对照组比较,Rot处理后24小时两种细胞存活力均显著下降,Rot处理48小时后较24小时组两种细胞存活力活力下降更显著。JP1与Rot联合处理组结果显示JP1对Rot细胞毒性作用有明显保护作用,且呈现剂量依赖性。
实施例14
本实施例为评估JP1分别对鱼藤酮(Rot)致HT-22神经元细胞和SH-SYSY神经胶质细胞炎性凋亡机制的拮抗作用。
结果如图15所示,两种细胞分别用对照溶剂、Rot单独处理或ROT+JP1联合处理48小时,该结果表明,与溶剂对照组比较,Rot处理可显著激活和增加两种细胞的炎症小体NLRP3表达水平以及凋亡相关分子(PARP1,Cleaved caspase1、3、9)表达水平;而在Rot与JP1联合处理组,炎症小体和凋亡相关分子的表达水平均受到抑制,且呈现剂量依赖性。
实施例15
本实施例为评估JP1拮抗鱼藤酮(Rot)所致HT-22和SH-SYSY细胞线粒体损伤(线粒体膜电位JC1)及其氧化应激机制(活性氧ROS)。
结果如图16和图17所示,两种细胞分别用对照溶剂、Rot单独处理或ROT+JP1联合处理48小时,该结果表明,Rot处理(2.5μM,48小时)导致两种细胞严重线粒体膜损伤,胞内氧化应激(ROS)显著增加;而Rot与JP1(100μM,48小时)联合处理后,两种细胞的线粒体膜损伤和胞内氧化应激均显著减轻。
实施例16

本实施例采用下表所示的各JWA多肽按实施例6至12进行检测,各JWA多肽的氨基酸S经磷酸化修饰。
Figure PCTCN2022138737-appb-000001
受篇幅所限,本实施例未列出具体实验数据。所得实验数据表明,以上各JWA多肽按实施例6至12进行检测的结果均与JP1基本一致。
结论
由以上各实施例可知,本发明证实了以JP1为代表的系列JWA多肽对MPTP诱导的小鼠模型帕金森病的治疗效果。这些JWA多肽可通过血脑等屏障经靶向整合素分子直接到达脑组织星形胶质细胞/小胶质细胞,并进入细胞发挥调控增殖和活化等作用,有效抑制星形胶质细胞/小胶质细胞的过度活化或增生以及由此导致的多巴胺神经元死亡;这些JWA多肽能显著提高多巴胺神经元拮抗兴奋性神经毒性水平,减少神经元死亡;其中,通过减少多巴胺神经元的缺失而维持其介导的神经行为学稳态。此外,经这些JWA多肽干预可显著改善PD小鼠行为异常。因此,这些多肽可作为针对帕金森病进行治疗或预防的候选分子,用于制备治疗或预防帕金森病的药物,具有良好的应用前景。
