The invention belongs to field of pharmacology, are related to a kind of deubiquitinating enzymes USP11, in particular to deubiquitinating enzymes
Purposes of the inhibitor of USP11 in preparation prevention or treatment uric acid nephropathy drug.
Background technique
Uric acid is the dead end product of purine metabolism, and the intracorporal uric acid of people is substantially deposited in the form of the free state of monosodium urate salt
It is in blood, wherein 80% is generated by Nuclear extract catabolism, 20% is rich in the food catabolism of purine by taking in
It generates.The uric acid that human body is generated and drained daily is 600~700mg, wherein 1/3 is discharged by enteron aisle, 2/3 by kidney.Positive reason
Under condition, the generation and excretion of the daily uric acid of human body are kept substantially dynamic equilibrium.But as uric acid synthesis increase, row in human body
Reduction is let out, will make uric acid concentration in blood is in hypersaturated state, and male's empty stomach serum uric acid level is higher than 420 μm of ol/L, Nv Xinggao
In 360 μm of ol/L, as hyperuricemia (hyperuricemia).
Recently as the increase of animal protein absorption ratio in China's resident's dietary structure, the crowd of hyperuricemia
Increasing.One national studies have shown that prevalence of hyperuricemia is 13% in population of China, in male up to
18.5%, hence it is evident that be higher than women (8.0%).The prevalence of hyperuricemia in southern area and rural area is higher than northern area and city
City.And the study found that Patients with Hyperuricemia often merges multiple cardiovascular risk factors.2~3 in Patients with Hyperuricemia
The merger ratio of a cardiovascular risk factors is 30.5%~32.3%, hence it is evident that higher than the merging in normal serum uric acid level crowd
Rate (14.5%~22.5%).Long-term hyperuricemia can cause renal function to damage again.At home, Patients with Hyperuricemia
In, the illness rate of Nephropathy is up to 15.1%, and the probability that renal failure occurs as 505.8 μm of ol/L of blood uric acid > is blood
8 times when uric acid is normal value.Serum uric acid concentration often increases 59.5 μm of ol/L, and the risk that chronic kidney disease occurs increases by 7%
~11%.
When uric acid in blood excessive concentration, when being in hypersaturated state, uric acid, which is deposited on nephridial tissue, can cause uric acid kidney
Sick (hyperuricemic nephropathy), can finally cause renal insufficiency.Between the renal lesions of uric acid nephropathy are mainly
Matter ephritis and renal tubular function are impaired, and renal damage is directly proportional to the raised horizontal and duration length of blood uric acid.High lithemia
The mechanism of mass formed by blood stasis induction kidney damage mainly includes the coup injury and indirect injury of uric acid.The direct kidney injury of uric acid is main
It is largely deposited in renal tubule and renal interstitial for mono-salt-hydrate made of uric acid conversion or urate crystal, causes kidney
Material injury, such as the formation of inflammatory reaction and fibrosis.Calculus urate is formed by obstruction for initiation to kidney simultaneously
A series of complication such as infects, bleeding, ponding, pernicious change.The indirect kidney injury of uric acid specifically includes that blood uric acid increases
The activation of Re-A-A (RAS) system, hyperuricemia stimulation are caused to the damage of blood vessel endothelium, high lithemia
Inflammatory cascade reaction, hyperuricemia cause the generation of organism metabolism syndrome, hyperuricemia to cause kidney renal tubular epithelial thin
Dysuria with lower abdominal colic is divided into renal interstitial fibroblast etc., aggravates chronic kidney disease progress.
The major pathologic features of uric acid nephropathy are kidney region fibrosis, and main mechanism is that renal tubular epithelial has occurred is thin
Matrix converts (Epithelial mesenchymal transmition, EMT), this process is dynamic along with α smooth muscle flesh
Albumen (α-smooth muscle actin, α-SMA) and collagenous fibres expression increase, extracellular matrix accumulation and tubule are thin
Born of the same parents block the G2/M phase.In studies have shown that hyperuricemia renal damage rats model, Snail1, α-SMA, Vimentin albumen table
Up to up-regulation, E-cadherin protein expression is lowered.Snail1 is the central transcription factor for inducing epithelial-mesenchymal conversion, it can be with
The expression for inhibiting E-cadherin, causes the close connection between epithelial cell to disappear, and renal cells interstitial is promoted to turn
Differentiation.In the renal cells cultivated in vitro, uric acid stimulation can also equally cause renal cells interstitial and turn to divide
Change, the significant protein expression of EMT increases.Research confirms that hyperuricemia may be turned by induction renal cells phenotype
Change, promotes the progress of kidney region fibrosis.
The occurrence and development of renal interstitial fibrosis are related to many A signal pathways and cell factor.(1) transforming growth factor
(TGF-β) signal path.TGF-β is a kind of more function cell factors, takes part in cell Proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, wound repair and fibre
The regulation of the various kinds of cell process such as dimensionization.Clinical data shows, in the kidney sample and urine of renal disease patient, TGF-β 1
Content obviously rises, and is positively correlated with renal fibrosis degree in obvious, animal model of this phenomenon in a variety of kidney troubles
In be proved.It includes: 1. to pass through to rely on or do not depend on Smad3 mechanism that TGF-β 1, which induces the main mechanism of renal fibrosis, from
Transcriptional level directly induces the synthesis of the ECM such as collagen I, fibronectin;2. inducing metal protease
(metalloproteinases, MMPs) and Timp (tissue inhibitor of
Metalloproteinase, TIMPs) loss of equilibrium, prevent the degradation of ECM;3. the direct effect to the intrinsic cell of kidney.Example
Such as, mesangial cell proliferation and collagen secretion be can induce;Promote epithelial cell and Podocytes in Renal Tissue, aggravates inflammation and secondary fibrosis
Deng;4. promoting the myofibrosis mother cell transdifferentiation in a variety of sources such as fibrocyte, epithelial cell, endothelial cell, macrophage
And proliferation, mediate fiberization.(2) Wnt/ β-catenin signal path.Wnt/ β-the catenin in normal adult's kidney
With respect to silencing, but after tissue damaged, this signal paths will be activated signal path, major regulatory cell differentiation,
Organize homeostasis and injury repair.Research at present has shown that the sustained activation of Wnt/ β catenin signal path is with kidney fibrosis
Closely related, mechanism includes: that the activation of 1. Wnt/ β-catenin β can induce Snail1 in renal cells and podocytic process
The expression of cell causes the close connection between epithelial cell to disappear so that E-cadherin albumen be inhibited to generate, and promotes kidney small
Pipe epithelial cell interstitial transdifferentiation;2. matrix metalloproteinase-7 MMP-7 is Wnt/ β-catenin signal path under another
Target spot is swum, it can degrade extracellular matrix, promote the release of inflammatory mediator, activate other protease, promote progression of fibrosis.
(3) Notch1/Jagged-1 signal path is upper highly conserved signal path of evolving, can regulate and control embryonic development and at
Body tissue stable state.Its induce renal fibrosis main mechanism include: 1. Notch1/Jagged-1 access regulation lymphocyte,
The development and activation of macrophage play important proinflammatory, rush Fibrosis parameters.2. promoting the expression of the related gene of EMT, promote
Into tubular epithelial transdifferentiation, fibrosis is aggravated.
The degradation of intracellular protein mainly passes through Ubiquitin-Proteasome Pathway.Protein is in a series of ubiquitination enzymes
By ubiquitin tag under the action of (ubiquitin kinase E1, ubiquitin binding enzyme E2, ubiquitin ligase E3), then dropped by proteasome
Solution.Protein carries out posttranslational modification by ubiquitination mode, not only can change the stability of intracellular protein, moreover it is possible to adjust
Its positioning and activity are saved, the function of target protein is influenced, to play crucial regulating and controlling effect to cell function.Ubiquitination is one
Reversible process, deubiquitinating enzymes (deubiquitinating enzymes, DUBs) destroy poly ubiquitin by hydrolysis
Change chain between or the thioester bond between ubiquitin and its substrate, remove ubiquitin molecule, to protect target protein not by proteasome institute
Hydrolysis.
Ubiquitin-specific protease family (ubiquitin-specific proteases, USPs) USPs is to find so far
Maximum deubiquitinating enzymes subfamily, member are more than 50, and participation cell cycle, Apoptosis, genetic transcription, DNA damage are repaired
The important cell activities such as multiple.
USP11 (Ubiquitin-specific protease11) belongs to cysteine proteinase, is ubiquitin-specific egg
One of the important member of white enzyme family, it is widely distributed in tissue.It is sub- that USP11 gene is located at 1st area of X chromosome galianconism, 1 band 3

Ordinary water puts down (Fig. 3 A-3B).Immunohistochemistry and quantitative analysis results show that MTX inhibitor is to abnormal high caused by uric acid nephropathy
The a-SMA and Fibronectin of expression have inhibiting effect (Fig. 3 C-3F).Result above further clarifies MTX inhibitor to urine
Acid nephrotic rats kidney region fibrosis has inhibiting effect.
5 MTX inhibitor of embodiment blocks epithelial cell in renal tissue of uric acid nephropathy rats-mesenchyma conversion (EMT) hair
It is raw
Epithelial cell-mesenchyma conversion, refers to that epithelial cell is converted by specific program with interstitial phenotype cells
Biological process has played important function, main feature in the multiple fiber disease including renal fibrosis
There are the reduction of cell adhesion molecule (such as E- calcium mucin) expression, cytokeratin cytoskeleton to be converted into vimentin
(Vimentin) with the feature etc. of mesenchymal cell on the cytoskeleton and form based on.Therefore, we pick on several
Endothelial cell marker (E-cadherin) and mesenchymal cell marker (Vimentin, SLUG, Snail1) are to study MTX
It is no to delay the generation of renal fibrosis by mediating EMT.Immunoblot results are shown, in uric acid nephropathy model group,
Vimentin, SLUG and Snail1 expression have significant up-regulation, and epithelial cell marker E-cadherin expression is suppressed, and is said
Bright EMT is one of the factor for mediating uric acid nephropathy renal fibrosis to occur.On the contrary, in treatment group, MTX inhibitor can more than
Epithelial cell marker is adjusted, mesenchymal cell marker is lowered, to hinder the generation (Fig. 4 A-4D) of EMT.ImmunohistochemistryResults Results
It has been shown that, Vimentin are hardly expressed in normal rat kidney, the high expression in renal tissue of uric acid nephropathy rats, and are injected
After MTX inhibitor, and the expression quantity (Fig. 4 E-4F) of Vimentin can be significantly inhibited.Result above prompt, MTX inhibitor pass through
EMT is hindered to delay the generation of uric acid nephropathy renal fibrosis.
6 MTX inhibitor of embodiment blocks the activation of TGF-β 1/Smad3 signal path in renal tissue of uric acid nephropathy rats
TGF-β 1/Smad3 signal path plays in regulation Stem Cell Activity, orga- nogenesis internal organs fibrosis focuses on
The effect wanted.After TGF-β and TGF-β II receptor (TGF-β RII) combine, reactivation raises TGF-β I receptor (TGF-β RI)
The receptor complex of dimeric forms is formed after combination, thus phosphorylation Smad3 albumen, and start downstream cascade pathway.It is immune
Blot results discovery MTX inhibitor can lower the expression quantity of TGF-β RI in renal tissue of uric acid nephropathy rats, and inhibit Smad3 phosphorus
The generation of acidification, but MTX has no effect on total Smad3 level (Fig. 5 A-5C).P- further is carried out to each group rat kidney
Smad3 histochemical staining, p-Smad3 expression quantity is less in normal kidney as the result is shown, in the kidney of uric acid nephropathy rat model
In dirty tissue, p-Smad3 high is expressed in nucleus, and after using MTX treatment, expression quantity is again significant to lower (Fig. 5 D-5E).
Result above prompt, MTX inhibitor block the activation of TGF-β 1/Smad3 signal path in renal tissue of uric acid nephropathy rats, thus
Inhibit the generation of renal fibrosis.
7 MTX inhibitor of embodiment blocks Notch1/Jagged-1 and Wnt1/ β-in renal tissue of uric acid nephropathy rats
The activation of catenin signal path
In addition to TGF-β 1/Smad3, we also study MTX for Notch1/Jagged-1 and Wnt1/ β-catenin this two
The important rush fibrosis signal path of item whether also inhibiting effect having the same.In normal rat kidney, basic detection is not
To the expression of Notch1 and Jagged-1, in renal tissue of uric acid nephropathy rats, the two is in high expression status, shows Notch1/
This signal path of Jagged-1 is activated, and promotes the generation of renal fibrosis.In treatment group, MTX inhibitor can it is significant under
The expression for adjusting Notch1 and Jagged-1, to hinder the activation (Fig. 6 A-6C) of Notch1/Jagged-1.Equally, it is urinating
In acid nephrotic rats kidney, Wnt1/ β-catenin signal path is in state of activation, and after injecting MTX inhibitor, the two
Expression decreased significantly (Fig. 6 D-6F).Result above prompt, MTX inhibitor block in renal tissue of uric acid nephropathy rats
The activation of Notch1/Jagged-1 and Wnt1/ β-catenin signal path, to inhibit the generation of renal fibrosis.
8 MTX of embodiment inhibits CD68 in renal tissue of uric acid nephropathy rats+Macrophage and CD3+The infiltration of lymphocyte
Existing research confirms during renal fibrosis, macrophage-mediated inflammatory reaction and cell mediated
It is immunoreacted important facilitation, therefore we study MTX inhibitor for CD68+Macrophage and CD3+Lymphocyte
The influence of infiltration.Immunohistochemistry and immunoblot results are shown, in renal tissue of uric acid nephropathy rats, CD68 expression quantity is significantly higher than
Normal rat kidney, and after using MTX treatment, expression and positive cell number have significant downward (Fig. 7 A-7D).
In addition, the cell of the CD3 positive is not expressed substantially in normal rat kidney, and in the kidney that uric acid nephropathy is damaged, sun
Property cell number increased significantly.In treatment group, MTX inhibitor can significantly lower the cell number (Fig. 7 E-7F) of the CD3 positive.This says
Bright MTX inhibitor is for CD68 in renal tissue of uric acid nephropathy rats+Macrophage and CD3+Lymphocyte is impregnated with certain inhibition
Effect.
