Description

Composition containing Senp expression regulating reagent and application of composition in preparation of anti-hepatic fibrosis medicine
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of anti-hepatic fibrosis medicines, and particularly relates to an anti-hepatic fibrosis composition and application thereof.
Background
Liver diseases seriously harm human health and have extremely high incidence rate worldwide, wherein the occurrence and development of liver diseases such as viral hepatitis, fatty liver disease, liver cancer and the like take the development of liver fibrosis as a pathological basic link. Liver Fibrosis (Fibrosis) is a pathological condition, which refers to the excessive deposition of fibrous connective tissue in the liver. Hepatic fibrosis is an intermediate link of further development of chronic liver diseases such as chronic viral hepatitis, metabolic disorder, chronic alcoholic/non-alcoholic fatty liver and the like to liver cirrhosis, the hepatic fibrosis is a common important characteristic of chronic liver diseases, and 25-40% of patients with chronic liver diseases finally develop liver cirrhosis and even liver cancer. Therefore, the key link for inhibiting the occurrence and the development of chronic liver diseases is to inhibit the formation of hepatic fibrosis. The site of Hepatic fibrosis is concentrated in Hepatic Stellate Cells (HSCs) in the liver, and when the liver is damaged, cytokines produced by the cell interaction between the Hepatic Stellate Cells and the Hepatic parenchymal Cells and Kupffer Cells induce the self-activation of the Hepatic Stellate Cells, activate the extracellular matrix (ECM) produced by secretion, cause the deposition of collagen in the liver, and secrete a large amount of pro-fibrotic factors, thereby causing the formation of fibrosis. Therefore, HSCs are the determinants of the development of liver fibrosis, and inhibition of HSCs activation is an important strategy for the treatment and reversal of liver fibrosis.
The research and development of anti-hepatic fibrosis drugs are the research and development hotspots of the current liver drugs, and meanwhile, certain research progress is also made. The currently reported therapeutic drugs for preventing and treating hepatic fibrosis are mainly in the following categories: 1) chinese herbal medicine and its extract, such as Curcuma rhizome, resveratrol, silibinin, allocryptopine and its salt (grant No. CN 10132721B); 2) chemical agents and formulations thereof, such as pirfenidone and creatinine combinations (grant publication No. CN103550242B), Cleistanone derivatives (grant publication No. CN 104095857B); 3) biological agents, including recombinant proteins and gene drugs, etc., the former including TGF beta 1-inhibitory peptide (grant No. CN1203091C), IL-4 (grant No. CN101318013B), monoclonal antibody HAb18GC2 and its heavy and light chain variable degene and polypeptide (grant No. CN 100586960C); the gene medicine includes hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 alpha gene (grant No. CN102552935B), gene medicine expressing hepatocyte poietin (application No. 200610145523.0), human hepatocyte growth factor gene (grant No. CN1142272C) and the like. Among them, Farnesoid X Receptor drugs have great research prospects, and Farnesoid X Receptor (FXR) is also called NR1H4(Nuclear Receptor subset 1, Group H, Member 4), which is a Member of Nuclear Receptor superfamily. Since its cloning in 1995, the receptor has become increasingly functionally recognized: FXR plays an important role in physiological processes such as bile acid, lipid and carbohydrate metabolism and has a regulation and control effect on various pathological processes. In addition, obeticholic Acid (also known as OCA) has been approved by the U.S. FDA to market as a potent FXR agonist in 2016 (Markham A, Keam SJ. Obeticholic Acid: First Global application. drugs.2016 Aug; 76(12):1221-6.) in 5 months as an anti-Primary Biliary Cirrhosis (PBC) drug, which has been the First drug to successfully market with FXR as a target. Although results of a number of previous animal experiments indicate that FXR agonists such as OCA have significant therapeutic effects on liver fibrosis (Fiorucci S, Antonelli E, Rizzo G, et al. the nuclear receptor SHP media inhibition of hepatic fibrous cells by FXR and protection against infection liver. gastroenterology.2004 Nov; 127(5) 1497-512.Fiorucci S1, Rizzo G, Antonelli E, et al.

A Placebo-Controlled Trial of Obeticholic Acid in Primary Biliary Cholingitis. N Engl J Med.2016 Aug 18; 375(7):631-43.), and phase III clinical Trial of Obeticholic Acid anti-NASH completed in 2019 by Intercept corporation showed that Obeticholic Acid improved liver fibrosis symptoms in 23% of patients (Placebo 12%), the drug effect was only 11% higher despite the statistical difference, and the drug effect was not as satisfactory as expected. Although FXR agonists represented by obeticholic acid are expected to be the first approved drugs for improving hepatic fibrosis symptoms associated with fatty liver, the phenomenon that the effect of FXR agonists on developed hepatic fibrosis is not obvious is not explained and solved. Research and discovery of methods for improving the anti-fibrotic effects of FXR agonists have also become an undeniable focus of research.
SUMO (small ubiquitin related-modetier) protein widely exists in eukaryotic animal bodies, is a polypeptide consisting of 98 amino acids, and plays an important regulation role in the bodies. The SUMO modification is based on the covalent binding of SUMO as a structural basis, and combines with amino acid residues of a target protein; the SENP family is a protease for specifically degrading intracellular SUMO modified proteins, and is widely involved in the SUMO degradation process. In the present study, it was found that direct termination of SUMO process by lysine binding site mutation can greatly improve the transcriptional activity of calpain (Yang S H, Jaffray E, Hay R T, et al. dynamic interaction of the SUMO and ERK pathway in regulating Elk-1transcriptional activity [ J ] Molecular Cell,2003,12(1):63-74.), and the transcriptional activity of HDAC1 protein over-expressing SUMO-specific protease (SENP, Sentrin/SUMO-specific proteases) family is also improved, while the involvement of SENP significantly reduces the HDAC1-SUMO level at this time.
In previous studies, applicants found that the increase of SUMO level of FXR protein in activated hepatic stellate cells is the cause of weakening or even disappearance of FXR ligand biological activity (patent application No. 201811534024.X), and proposed the application of a combination of a SUMO inhibitor and an FXR agonist in preparing anti-hepatic fibrosis drugs, wherein the SUMO inhibitor can significantly inhibit SUMO polypeptide from binding to FXR protein, so that the anti-fibrotic pharmacological activity of the combination is significantly improved. However, the above composition has a limitation that SUMO inhibitors can block SUMO from binding to FXR protein only, but have no effect on the protein to which SUMO has been bound. However, hepatic stellate cells of patients with hepatic fibrosis are in an activated state and FXR protein has bound SUMO. Then for FXR proteins that have bound SUMO, further strategies need to be found to degrade the SUMO polypeptide and thereby increase the biological activity of FXR agonists.
Disclosure of Invention
The purpose of the invention is as follows: aiming at the technical problems, the invention provides a composition for resisting hepatic fibrosis and application thereof, wherein the composition comprises a Senp expression regulating reagent and an FXR agonist, and tests prove that the combination of the Senp expression regulating reagent and the FXR agonist has a remarkably improved hepatic fibrosis resisting effect.
The technical scheme is as follows: in order to achieve the purpose of the invention, the technical scheme adopted by the invention is as follows:
a composition for anti-liver fibrosis, comprising a Senp expression modulating agent and an FXR agonist.
Preferably, the method comprises the following steps:
the Senp expression regulating agent is various chemical, natural products or biological products and the like capable of inducing (up-regulating) the expression of Senp7 or blocking the degradation of Senp7 protein, and comprises the following components:
vectors carrying the Senp7 plasmid and capable of interfering with the expression of Senp7, which can up-regulate the expression of Senp7 (mRNA level and protein level) after transfecting cells or organisms, for example, viral vectors (lentiviruses, adenoviruses and the like), non-viral vectors (cationic polymer vectors, nanoparticle vectors, polyethyleneimine, liposomes, biocompatible carrier materials), and various vectors obtained by modifying the surface of the vectors with groups. Preferably, liposomes are representative of non-viral vectors in the present invention.
The FXR agonist is an agonist capable of promoting FXR transcriptional activation, and comprises FXR agonists of natural origin, semi-synthetic and full chemical synthesis. For example, selected from, but not limited to, obeticholic acid.
The invention also provides application of the composition in preparing anti-hepatic fibrosis drugs.
The invention also provides application of the composition in preparing a medicament for treating liver fibrosis diseases. Preferably, the hepatic fibrosis-associated disease is a liver disease such as fatty liver, drug-induced liver injury, or viral liver injury.
The invention also provides application of the composition in preparing a medicine for reducing the SUMO level of FXR protein in activated hepatic stellate cells.
The composition can be a medicine prepared by taking a Senp expression regulating reagent and an FXR agonist as active ingredients and adding pharmaceutically acceptable auxiliary materials.
The pharmaceutically acceptable auxiliary materials refer to various conventional auxiliary materials required when different dosage forms are prepared, such as diluents, adhesives, disintegrants, glidants, lubricants, flavoring agents, inclusion materials, adsorbing materials and the like, and the pharmaceutically acceptable auxiliary materials are prepared into any one of common oral preparations by a conventional preparation method, such as granules, powder, tablets, capsules, pills, oral liquid, decoction, dropping pills and the like.
The invention provides a composition containing a Senp expression regulating reagent and an FXR agonist, and application of the composition in preparing anti-hepatic fibrosis drugs. In a previous study by the applicant (patent application No. 201811534024.X), FXR agonists have no effect on the activation of hepatic stellate cells at all times in the highly activated state of hepatic stellate cells, due to SUMO modification of FXR protein in activated hepatic stellate cells; in addition, the applicant has also proposed in the previous project (patent application No. 201811534024.X) a composition of a SUMO inhibitor with an FXR agonist; the composition has effects in inhibiting hepatic stellate cell activation and treating hepatic fibrosis. However, the above scheme has certain limitations: namely, the SUMO inhibitor (including spectinomycin and/or ginkgolic acid and the like) has the action link of inhibiting the connection of the SUMO polypeptide to the modified protein, namely blocking the SUMO modification of FXR protein; but has no effect on FXR protein which is subjected to SUMO modification; however, most of the FXR protein has been modified by SUMO during hepatic stellate cell activation. Therefore, the above scheme has certain limitations. The Senp7 expression regulating reagent provided by the invention acts on the protein which is subjected to SUMO modification, and the SUMO polypeptide is hydrolyzed to obtain unmodified FXR protein. Therefore, aiming at the limitations of the previous scheme, the invention further provides a composition containing a Senp7 expression regulating agent and an FXR agonist, and the application of the composition in preparing an anti-hepatic fibrosis drug: the activated hepatic stellate cells have good reactivity to the compound, and the compound can obviously inhibit the activation of the hepatic stellate cells in an activated state, thereby obviously inhibiting hepatic fibrosis. Therefore, for hepatic fibrosis patients needing drug administration, hepatic stellate cells in the liver are already in an activated state, and the FXR protein is already subjected to SUMO modification; the combined use of the Senp7 expression regulating reagent and the FXR agonist can effectively reduce the SUMO level of FXR protein, improve the FXR transcription activity and enhance the effect of inhibiting the activation of hepatic stellate cells.
The technical effects are as follows: compared with the prior art, the invention provides a composition containing a Senp expression regulating reagent and an FXR agonist and application of the composition in preparation of anti-hepatic fibrosis medicines, and test results show that the combination of the Senp expression regulating reagent and the FXR agonist can up-regulate Senp7 expression, effectively reduce the SUMO level of FXR protein, improve FXR transcription activity and have a remarkably improved anti-hepatic fibrosis effect.

Detailed Description
In previous studies, the applicant finds that the SUMO level of FXR protein in HSCs in an activated state is obviously higher than that in a resting state by separating and comparing HSCs in the resting state and the activated state; and results in the failure of the FXR agonist OCA to inhibit HSCs cell activation. In the research of the invention, the composition of the Senp expression regulating reagent and the FXR agonist is provided, and the composition can obviously reduce the SUMO level of FXR in activated HSCs, improve the transcriptional activity of FXR and inhibit the activation of the HSCs.
Specifically, in activated HSCs cultured in vitro, the SUMO-specific protease family responsible for degradation of intracellular SUMO proteins was investigated and found to have significantly reduced expression of Senp 7. After the Senp7 plasmid is transfected to cause overexpression, SUMO protein degradation in activated HSC cells is increased, and SUMO level of FXR protein is remarkably reduced. The combination of the Senp7 expression reagent and the obeticholic acid OCA can obviously enhance the regulation and control effect on FXR transcriptional activity and obviously up-regulate the target gene level of Shp; and obviously inhibits the activation of HSCs and the expression of Acta2 gene.
The invention will be further illustrated with reference to the following specific examples. It should be understood that these examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. The biological materials (experimental animals, plasmids, adenoviruses, etc.) and reagents used in the examples of the present invention are commercially available, unless otherwise specified.

3 results of the experiment
3.1 after HSCs activation, obeticholic acid has reduced agonistic effect on FXR downstream target genes and reduced inhibitory effect on fibrotic genes
By inspecting the mRNA levels of the fibrosis gene and the FXR downstream target gene in a cell sample, the finding shows that the activated HSCs of obeticholic acid have weaker fibrosis drug effect, the downstream target gene has poorer agonistic effect, and the transcriptional activity is reduced.
3.2 FXR-SUMO level elevation after HSCs activation
