技术领域Technical Field
本发明涉及药物技术领域,尤其涉及间充质干细胞在制备治疗HPV持续感染的药物中的应用。The present invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical technology, and in particular to the use of mesenchymal stem cells in the preparation of a medicine for treating persistent HPV infection.
背景技术Background technique
人乳头瘤病毒(Human Papilloma Virus,HPV)是一种常见的性传播病毒,人乳头瘤病毒的感染与宫颈部位的癌前病变及宫颈癌的发生发展有着密切关系(图1),且高危型HPV与宫颈癌的发生密切相关,接近99%的宫颈癌都与HPV感染有关。根据HPV对细胞的转化能力可分为低危型和高危型(HR-HPV)。低危型主要引起人类多种良性皮肤和黏膜乳头状瘤或疣,如生殖道肛周皮肤和阴道下部的外生性湿疣类病变、扁平湿疣类病变和低度子宫颈上皮内瘤样(cervical intraepithelial neoplasia,CIN)1级病变,儿童和青少年手足摩擦部位的皮肤疣。高危型则与癌症尤其是宫颈癌的发生有关,主要导致CIN2、CIN3级病变和宫颈癌的发生。常见的高危型人乳头瘤病毒(HR-HPV)包括HPV-16、18、31、33、35、39、45、51、52、56、58、59、66、68,99%的宫颈癌由HR-HPV感染所致(de Martel,C.,et al.,Worldwide burden of cancer attributable to HPV by site,country and HPV type.Int J Cancer,2017.141(4):p.664-670)。HPV16型和HPV18型别被认为是全球宫颈癌相关的最普遍类型,占病例总数的70%以上(Zeng,Z.,et al.,Prevalence and Genotype Distribution of HPV Infection in China:Analysis of 51,345 HPV Genotyping Results from  China's Largest CAP Certified Laboratory.J Cancer,2016.7(9):p.1037-43)。Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a common sexually transmitted virus. HPV infection is closely related to the occurrence and development of precancerous lesions in the cervix and cervical cancer (Figure 1). High-risk HPV is closely related to the occurrence of cervical cancer. Nearly 99% of cervical cancers are related to HPV infection. HPV can be divided into low-risk and high-risk types (HR-HPV) according to its ability to transform cells. Low-risk types mainly cause a variety of benign skin and mucosal papilloma or warts in humans, such as exophytic condyloma-like lesions, flat condyloma-like lesions, and low-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) grade 1 lesions in the perianal skin of the genital tract and the lower part of the vagina, and skin warts at the friction sites of children and adolescents. High-risk types are related to the occurrence of cancer, especially cervical cancer, and mainly lead to CIN2, CIN3 grade lesions and cervical cancer. Common high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) includes HPV-16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 66, and 68. 99% of cervical cancer is caused by HR-HPV infection (de Martel, C., et al., Worldwide burden of cancer attributable to HPV by site, country and HPV type. Int J Cancer, 2017. 141(4): p. 664-670). HPV16 and HPV18 are considered to be the most common types associated with cervical cancer worldwide, accounting for more than 70% of the total cases (Zeng, Z., et al., Prevalence and Genotype Distribution of HPV Infection in China: Analysis of 51,345 HPV Genotyping Results from China's Largest CAP Certified Laboratory. J Cancer, 2016. 7(9): p.1037-43).
从HPV感染发展到宫颈癌中间会经历宫颈癌癌前病变CIN,CIN状态下宫颈细胞处于永生化状态,当有协同因子共同作用时就会导致宫颈癌的发生。高危型人乳头瘤病毒(HR-HPV)的持续感染可导致患有宫颈上皮高度病变的风险增加250倍(Dalstein,V.,et al.,Persistence and load of high-risk HPV are predictors for development of high-grade cervical lesions:a longitudinal French cohort study.Int J Cancer,2003.106(3):p.396-403)。从HR-HPV的持续感染进展为子宫颈癌大约需要10-20年的时间,因此,有效控制HPV的感染尤其是清除HR-HPV的持续感染将大大降低子宫颈癌前病变和宫颈癌的发生率。From HPV infection to cervical cancer, there is a process called cervical precancerous lesion CIN. In the CIN state, cervical cells are in an immortalized state. When there are synergistic factors acting together, cervical cancer will occur. Persistent infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) can increase the risk of high-grade cervical epithelial lesions by 250 times (Dalstein, V., et al., Persistence and load of high-risk HPV are predictors for development of high-grade cervical lesions: a longitudinal French cohort study. Int J Cancer, 2003. 106 (3): p. 396-403). It takes about 10-20 years for persistent HR-HPV infection to progress to cervical cancer. Therefore, effective control of HPV infection, especially elimination of persistent HR-HPV infection, will greatly reduce the incidence of cervical precancerous lesions and cervical cancer.
目前关于HPV持续感染的定义尚未统一明确,即同一患者间隔至少6个月连续2次或2次以上检测出同一型别HPV即可诊断为HPV的持续感染(Kirschner,B.,et al.,HPV genotypes in invasive cervical cancer in Danish women.Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand,2013.92(9):p.1023-31)。但在临床工作中,普遍将间隔时间为1年持续2次或2次以上检测出同一型别HPV诊断为HPV的持续感染(Xiao,S.,et al.,Analysis of human papillomavirus infection in 16 320 patients from gynecologic clinic.Zhong Nan Da Xue Xue Bao Yi Xue Ban,2015.40(4):p.373-9.;Lei,X.,et al.,Association between life style,diet intake and high risk-human papillomavirus persistent infection among rural women in Xinmi City,Henan Province.Wei Sheng Yan Jiu,2016.45(1):p.45-50.)。At present, there is no unified and clear definition of persistent HPV infection. That is, if the same type of HPV is detected twice or more in the same patient with an interval of at least 6 months, it can be diagnosed as persistent HPV infection (Kirschner, B., et al., HPV genotypes in invasive cervical cancer in Danish women. Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand, 2013. 92(9): p.1023-31). However, in clinical work, the detection of the same HPV type twice or more at an interval of one year is generally diagnosed as persistent HPV infection (Xiao, S., et al., Analysis of human papillomavirus infection in 16 320 patients from gynecologic clinic. Zhong Nan Da Xue Xue Bao Yi Xue Ban, 2015. 40(4): p. 373-9.; Lei, X., et al., Association between lifestyle, diet intake and high risk-human papillomavirus persistent infection among rural women in Xinmi City, Henan Province. Wei Sheng Yan Jiu, 2016. 45(1): p. 45-50.).
HPV疫苗是预防HPV感染,降低HPV导致的宫颈癌和癌前病变的发生风险,是宫颈癌预防最有效的方式。不幸的是,HPV疫苗对已经存在感染HPV病毒的人群是没有治疗功效的,且目前临床上没有治疗HPV感染的有效策略。目前虽已出现宫颈癌治疗疫苗(如VGX-3100治疗性疫苗),但尚未广泛应用,疗效有待进一步观察。HPV vaccine is the most effective way to prevent cervical cancer by preventing HPV infection and reducing the risk of cervical cancer and precancerous lesions caused by HPV. Unfortunately, HPV vaccine has no therapeutic effect on people who are already infected with HPV virus, and there is currently no effective strategy for treating HPV infection in clinical practice. Although there are cervical cancer treatment vaccines (such as VGX-3100 therapeutic vaccine), they have not yet been widely used, and their efficacy needs further observation.
目前还没有明确的治疗HPV感染的方法,绝大部分都是针对HPV相关疾病,并不是针对病毒本身,包括生殖器疣、癌前病变和癌症有明确的治疗 方法,推荐的治疗方法取决于诊断、病灶大小和位置而不同(Massad,L.S.,et al.,2012 updated consensus guidelines for the management of abnormal cervical cancer screening tests and cancer precursors.Obstet Gynecol,2013.121(4):p.829-846.;Workowski,K.A.and S.M.Berman,Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Sexually Transmitted Disease Treatment Guidelines.Clin Infect Dis,2011.53 Suppl 3:p.S59-63.)。There is currently no clear treatment for HPV infection. Most of them are aimed at HPV-related diseases, not the virus itself. There are clear treatments for genital warts, precancerous lesions and cancers. The recommended treatment depends on the diagnosis, size and location of the lesion (Massad, L.S., et al., 2012 updated consensus guidelines for the management of abnormal cervical cancer screening tests and cancer precursors. Obstet Gynecol, 2013. 121(4): p.829-846.; Workowski, K.A. and S.M. Berman, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Sexually Transmitted Disease Treatment Guidelines. Clin Infect Dis, 2011. 53 Suppl 3: p.S59-63.).
如图2所示,临床上对于单纯HPV感染患者的管理(宫颈细胞学检测阴性)主要为临床随访观察,期待自然消除(妇科肿瘤协会(Society of Gynecologic Oncology,SGO)和ASCCP联合发布,Huh,W.K.,et al.,Use of primary high-risk human papillomavirus testing for cervical cancer screening:interim clinical guidance.Gynecol Oncol,2015.136(2):p.178-82.)。目前临床缺乏清除HPV感染的特效药物,主要干预HPV感染的药物包括抗病毒药物(如西多福韦)、免疫增强剂(如干扰素)、细胞毒性药物(如5-氟尿嘧啶)、中药(如保妇康栓)和乳酸杆菌制剂等。这些药物主要通过增强宫颈局部或全身免疫力达到抗HPV感染作用,其短期内临床疗效欠佳,且存在一定副作用和安全问题。但是如果病毒不能清除,持续感染则会导致HPV相关的疾病。HPV感染导致的宫颈相关癌前病变,可采用冷刀锥切、冷冻疗法或子宫颈环形电切除术(LEEP)等方式治疗,如果进展为宫颈癌,可进行手术或者放化疗。在治疗之后密切随访,如果复发再次处理相关疾病。As shown in Figure 2, clinical management of patients with simple HPV infection (negative cervical cytology test) is mainly clinical follow-up observation, expecting natural elimination (Huh, W.K., et al., Use of primary high-risk human papillomavirus testing for cervical cancer screening: interim clinical guidance. Gynecol Oncol, 2015. 136 (2): p. 178-82.). Currently, there is a lack of specific drugs to eliminate HPV infection in clinical practice. The main drugs for intervention of HPV infection include antiviral drugs (such as cidofovir), immunopotentiators (such as interferon), cytotoxic drugs (such as 5-fluorouracil), traditional Chinese medicine (such as Baofukang suppository) and lactobacillus preparations. These drugs mainly achieve anti-HPV infection by enhancing local or systemic immunity of the cervix. Their short-term clinical efficacy is poor, and there are certain side effects and safety issues. However, if the virus cannot be eliminated, persistent infection will lead to HPV-related diseases. Cervical precancerous lesions caused by HPV infection can be treated with cold knife cone biopsy, cryotherapy or loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP). If it progresses to cervical cancer, surgery or radiotherapy and chemotherapy can be performed. Close follow-up is required after treatment, and related diseases should be treated again if they recur.
临床上部分患者对HPV的感染比较恐慌,尤其是HR-HPV的持续感染会引起很大的焦虑,故对于未发生宫颈病变的HR-HPV持续感染表现出强烈的治疗的愿望,要求积极治疗。对于HR-HPV持续感染的患者进行预防性治疗,有望减少宫颈病变的发生。但目前国内外对HPV感染治疗方式不统一,且针对HPV感染没有特效药。虽然临床上应用于治疗子宫颈HPV感染的药物有许多种类,但大部分是增强局部或全身的免疫力来达到干预HPV感染的目的,不是针对病毒本身,且疗效是否确切还有待于更多的研究来验证,同时存在一定副作用和安全问题。因此,开发高效清除HPV感染且对宫颈有保护作用的新型治疗策略是当前临床的迫切需求。Clinically, some patients are quite panic about HPV infection, especially persistent HR-HPV infection, which can cause great anxiety. Therefore, they show a strong desire for treatment for persistent HR-HPV infection without cervical lesions and require active treatment. Preventive treatment for patients with persistent HR-HPV infection is expected to reduce the occurrence of cervical lesions. However, there is no unified treatment for HPV infection at home and abroad, and there is no specific drug for HPV infection. Although there are many types of drugs used in the treatment of cervical HPV infection in clinical practice, most of them enhance local or systemic immunity to achieve the purpose of intervening in HPV infection, not targeting the virus itself, and whether the efficacy is accurate still needs to be verified by more research, and there are certain side effects and safety issues. Therefore, the development of a new treatment strategy that can effectively eliminate HPV infection and protect the cervix is an urgent need in current clinical practice.

与现有技术相比,本发明至少具备以下有益效果:Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:
干细胞是一类具有自我更新和多向分化潜能的细胞,且具有优良的免疫调节作用和旁分泌功能。间充质干细胞(MSCs)对不同肿瘤的影响可能截然相反,MSCs对胃癌、结直肠癌等具有抑制肿瘤生长的作用,但MSCs对肺癌、胰腺癌等则表现为促进肿瘤进展(崔舒悦,汤帅,丁晓玲,等.间充质干细胞及其外泌体对肿瘤影响的研究进展[J].中国肺癌杂 志,2022,25(5):7.)目前MSCs对某一癌症具有抑制作用亦或促进作用尚无法预测。Stem cells are a type of cell with the potential for self-renewal and multidirectional differentiation, and have excellent immunomodulatory and paracrine functions. The effects of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on different tumors may be completely opposite. MSCs have an inhibitory effect on gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, etc., but MSCs promote tumor progression in lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, etc. (Cui Shuyue, Tang Shuai, Ding Xiaoling, et al. Research progress on the effects of mesenchymal stem cells and their exosomes on tumors [J]. Chinese Journal of Lung Cancer, 2022, 25(5):7.) At present, it is still impossible to predict whether MSCs have an inhibitory or promoting effect on a certain cancer.
本发明研究中惊奇的发现,MSCs具有显著的抗HPV病毒抑制作用,应用MSCs治疗持续感染HPV一年以上的患者转阴率达到100%,疗效显著优于临床常用HPV、宫颈癌癌前病变或宫颈癌治疗药物。本发明还发现MSCs在治疗HPV持续感染的同时还能提高HPV感染患者的雌性激素水平,雌激素水平的提升可改善治疗微环境,有利于提升治疗效果。相较于现有的手术方法,应用MSCs治疗HPV持续感染不会物理上损害患者生育功能,更加安全可靠。The present invention surprisingly found that MSCs have a significant anti-HPV virus inhibitory effect. The negative conversion rate of patients with persistent HPV infection for more than one year treated with MSCs reached 100%, and the efficacy was significantly better than the commonly used clinical HPV, cervical precancerous lesions or cervical cancer treatment drugs. The present invention also found that MSCs can improve the estrogen level of HPV-infected patients while treating persistent HPV infection. The increase in estrogen levels can improve the treatment microenvironment and help improve the treatment effect. Compared with existing surgical methods, the use of MSCs to treat persistent HPV infection will not physically damage the patient's reproductive function and is safer and more reliable.
MSCs作为一种活细胞,其在患者体内具有归巢能力,可靶向病变部位,相较于其外泌体(细胞因子)能够更多的富集于病变部位,发挥强效免疫调节功能,实现HPV持续感染的清除。除了通过免疫调节清除病毒外,MSCs在病变微环境刺激下能够表达、合成、分泌多种逆转疾病发展促进愈合的生长因子、细胞因子、调节因子、信号肽等,通过旁分泌效应与体内进行信息交流,为抗HPV治疗提供稳定的内环境,并修复感染的细胞。As a living cell, MSCs have the ability to home in the patient's body and can target the lesion site. Compared with its exosomes (cytokines), they can be more enriched in the lesion site, exerting a strong immune regulation function and achieving the elimination of persistent HPV infection. In addition to clearing the virus through immune regulation, MSCs can express, synthesize, and secrete a variety of growth factors, cytokines, regulatory factors, signal peptides, etc. that reverse the development of the disease and promote healing under the stimulation of the lesion microenvironment. They communicate with the body through the paracrine effect, provide a stable internal environment for anti-HPV treatment, and repair infected cells.
