Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the use of plasminogen for inhibiting tissue damage, nerve and retinal tissue cell damage of internal organs and blood vessels caused by diabetes, and to plasminogen for preventing or treating retinopathy caused by diabetes.
  • the use provides a novel preventive and/or therapeutic strategy for the prevention and/or treatment of different types of retinopathy caused by diabetes.
  • Diabetes is a group of endocrine and metabolic syndromes caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors leading to a decrease in insulin secretion or a deficiency in insulin action, causing disorders in the metabolism of sugar, protein, fat, water and electrolytes in the body. It is characterized by an increase in chronic blood glucose levels, which cause chronic complications of the eyes, kidneys, liver and other organs. Diabetes itself and its complications seriously endanger human health, and the treatment of diabetes and its complications has become a major global public health problem.
  • Diabetic retinopathy is the most common form of diabetic eye disease, often resulting in vision loss or blindness. According to statistics, 50% of diabetic patients will develop the disease in the course of 10 years, and 80% in 15 years or more. The heavier the diabetes, the older the age, the higher the incidence.
  • Plasmin is a key component of the plasminogen activation system (PA system). It is a broad-spectrum protease that hydrolyzes several components of the extracellular matrix (ECM), including fibrin, gelatin, fibronectin, laminin, and proteoglycans. [1] In addition, plasmin can Some metalloproteinase precursors (pro-MMP) activate to form active metalloproteinases (MMPs). Therefore, plasmin is considered to be an important upstream regulator of extracellular proteolysis [2,3] . Plasmin is formed by proteolytic plasminogen by two physiological PA: tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) or urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA).
  • tPA tissue plasminogen activator
  • uPA urokinase-type plasminogen activator
  • plasminogen Due to the relatively high levels of plasminogen in plasma and other body fluids, it has been traditionally believed that the regulation of the PA system is primarily achieved by the synthesis and activity levels of PA.
  • the synthesis of components of the PA system is tightly regulated by various factors such as hormones, growth factors and cytokines.
  • specific physiological inhibitors of plasmin and PA are also present.
  • the main inhibitor of plasmin is ⁇ 2-antiplasmin.
  • Some cell surface has direct hydrolysis activity of uPA-specific cell surface receptors (uPAR) [4,5] .
  • Plasminogen is a single-chain glycoprotein with a molecular weight of approximately 92 kDa [6,7] . Plasminogen is mainly synthesized in the liver and is abundantly present in the extracellular fluid. The plasma has a plasminogen content of about 2 ⁇ M. Therefore, plasminogen is a huge potential source of proteolytic activity in tissues and body fluids [8,9] . Plasminogen exists in two molecular forms: glutamate-plasminogen and Lys-plasminogen. The naturally secreted and uncleaved forms of plasminogen have an amino terminal (N-terminal) glutamate and are therefore referred to as glutamate-plasminogen.
  • plasminogen in the presence of plasmin, glutamate-plasminogen is hydrolyzed to Lys-Lysinogen at Lys76-Lys77. Compared to glutamate-plasminogen, lysine-plasminogen has a higher affinity for fibrin and can be activated by PAs at a higher rate.
  • the Arg560-Val561 peptide bond of these two forms of plasminogen can be cleaved by uPA or tPA, resulting in the formation of a disulfide-linked double-chain protease plasmin [10] .
  • the amino terminal portion of plasminogen contains five homologous tricycles, the so-called kringle, which contains a protease domain.
  • Some kringles contain a lysine binding site that mediates the specific interaction of plasminogen with fibrin and its inhibitor alpha2-AP.
  • a 38kDa plasminogen fragment was recently discovered, including kringle1-4, which is a potent inhibitor of angiogenesis. This fragment was named angiostatin and can be produced by hydrolysis of plasminogen by several proteases.
  • the main substrate for plasmin is fibrin, which is the key to preventing pathological thrombosis [11] .
  • Plasmin also has substrate specificity for several components of ECM, including laminin, fibronectin, proteoglycans and gelatin, suggesting that plasmin also plays an important role in ECM reconstruction [7,12, 13] .
  • plasmin can also degrade other components of ECM, including MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-3, and MMP-9, by converting certain protease precursors into active proteases. Therefore, it has been suggested that plasmin may be an important upstream regulator of extracellular proteolysis [14] .
  • plasmin has the ability to activate certain potential forms of growth factors [15-17] . In vitro, plasmin also hydrolyzes components of the complement system and releases chemotactic complement fragments.
  • Existing treatment methods mainly include basic treatment, that is, control of blood sugar based on regular eye examination and adjuvant treatment for ocular conditions.
  • basic treatment that is, control of blood sugar based on regular eye examination and adjuvant treatment for ocular conditions.
  • lysogen and/or plasmin have good treatment in inhibiting tissue damage of internal organs, blood vessels, nerves and retina, as well as in the prevention or treatment of diabetic retinopathy.

Abstract

纤溶酶原在预防或治疗由糖尿病引起的视网膜病变方面的作用，进而为治疗不同类型的糖尿病相关的视网膜病变提供全新的治疗策略。

Description

一种预防或治疗糖尿病性视网膜病变的方法 技术领域
本发明涉及纤溶酶原在抑制糖尿病引起的内脏器官及其血管的组织细胞损伤、神经、视网膜组织细胞损伤方面的用途，同时涉及纤溶酶原在预防或治疗由糖尿病引起的视网膜病变方面的用途，进而为预防和/或治疗糖尿病引起的不同类型的视网膜病变提供全新的预防和/或治疗策略。
背景
糖尿病是一组由多种遗传和环境因素共同作用导致胰岛素分泌减少或胰岛素作用缺陷而引起体内糖、蛋白质、脂肪、水及电解质代谢紊乱的内分泌、代谢综合征。其以慢性血糖水平升高为特征，久病导致眼、肾、肝脏等器官的慢性并发症。糖尿病本身及其并发症严重危害人类健康，糖尿病及其并发症的治疗已成为全球性的重大公共卫生问题。
糖尿病性视网膜病变是最常见的糖尿病眼病，常造成视力减退或失明。据统计，50％的糖尿病患者在病程的10年左右将出现该病变，15年以上则达80％。糖尿病病情越重，年龄越大，发病的几率越高。
纤溶酶是纤溶酶原激活系统(PA系统)的关键组分。它是一种广谱的蛋白酶，能够水解细胞外基质(ECM)的几个组分，包括纤维蛋白、明胶、纤连蛋白、层粘连蛋白和蛋白聚糖[1]此外，纤溶酶能将一些金属蛋白酶前体(pro-MMP)激活形成具有活性的金属蛋白酶(MMP)。因此纤溶酶被认为是胞外蛋白水解作用的一个重要的上游调节物[2，3]。纤溶酶是由纤溶酶原通过两种生理性的PA：组织型纤溶酶原激活剂(tPA)或尿激酶型纤溶酶原激活剂(uPA)蛋白水解形成的。由于纤溶酶原在血浆和其他体液中相对水平较高，传统上认为PA系统的调节主要通过PA的合成和活性水平实现。PA系统组分的合成受不同因素严格调节，如激素、生长因子和细胞因子。此外，还存在纤溶酶和PA的特定生理抑制剂。纤溶酶的主要抑制剂是α2-抗纤溶酶(α2-antiplasmin)。某些细胞表面具有直接水解活性的uPA特异性细胞表面受体(uPAR)[4，5]。
纤溶酶原(plasminogen，plg)是一个单链糖蛋白，分子量约为92kDa[6，7]。纤溶酶原主要在肝脏合成，大量存在于胞外液中。血浆中纤溶酶 原含量约为2μM。因此纤溶酶原是组织和体液中蛋白质水解活性的一个巨大的潜在来源[8，9]。纤溶酶原存在两种分子形式：谷氨酸-纤溶酶原(Glu-plasminogen)和赖氨酸-纤溶酶原(Lys-plasminogen)。天然分泌和未裂解形式的纤溶酶原具有一个氨基末端(N-末端)谷氨酸，因此被称为谷氨酸-纤溶酶原。然而，在纤溶酶存在时，谷氨酸-纤溶酶原在Lys76-Lys77处水解成为赖氨酸-纤溶酶原。与谷氨酸-纤溶酶原相比，赖氨酸-纤溶酶原与纤维蛋白具有更高的亲和力，并可以更高的速率被PAs激活。这两种形式的纤溶酶原的Arg560-Val561肽键可被uPA或tPA切割，导致二硫键连接的双链蛋白酶纤溶酶的形成[10]。纤溶酶原的氨基末端部分包含五个同源三环，即所谓的kringle，羧基末端部分包含蛋白酶结构域。一些kringle含有介导纤溶酶原与纤维蛋白及其抑制剂α2-AP特异性相互作用的赖氨酸结合位点。最新发现一个38kDa的纤维蛋白溶酶原为片段，其中包括kringle1-4，是血管生成的有效抑制剂。这个片段被命名为血管抑素，可通过几个蛋白酶水解纤溶酶原产生。
纤溶酶的主要底物是纤维蛋白，纤维蛋白的溶解是预防病理性血栓形成的关键[11]。纤溶酶还具有对ECM几个组分的底物特异性，包括层粘连蛋白、纤连蛋白、蛋白聚糖和明胶，表明纤溶酶在ECM重建中也起着重要作用[7，12，13]。间接地，纤溶酶还可以通过转化某些蛋白酶前体为活性蛋白酶来降解ECM的其他组分，包括MMP-1、MMP-2、MMP-3和MMP-9。因此，有人提出，纤溶酶可能是细胞外蛋白水解的一个重要的上游调节器[14]。此外，纤溶酶具有激活某些潜在形式的生长因子的能力[15-17]。在体外，纤溶酶还能水解补体系统的组分并释放趋化补体片段。
现有的治疗方法主要包括基础治疗，即控制血糖的基础上通过定期的眼部检查和针对眼部病症进行辅助治疗。我们以自发糖尿病小鼠作为研究对象惊奇地发现溶酶原和/或纤溶酶在抑制内脏器官、血管、神经和视网膜的组织损伤方面，以及在预防或治疗糖尿病性视网膜病变方面具有良好的治疗效果，且安全性高。因此，纤溶酶原有可能成为一种新的用于治疗包括视网膜病变在内的糖尿病并发症策略。

“糖尿病并发症”是由糖尿病过程中血糖控制不良导致的身体其他器官或组织的损害或功能障碍，其中包括肝脏、肾脏、心脏、视网膜、神经系统的损害或功能障碍等。据世界卫生组织统计，糖尿病并发症高达100多种，是目前已知并发症最多的一种疾病。
“糖尿病性微血管病变”指糖尿病患者机体各器官或组织微循环不同程度的异常导致的微血管病变。微血管病变形成的过程大致为：微循环功能性改变，内皮损伤，基膜增厚，血粘度增高，红细胞聚集，血小板粘附和聚集，最后导致微血栓形成和/或微血管闭塞。“糖尿病性眼微血管病变”指由糖尿病导致的眼部微血管病变。
上述“糖尿病性微血管病变”导致组织或器官局部血管损伤、血流不畅、细胞缺氧、形成血凝块、血栓和炎症，并进一步影响周边的组织及器官功能，进而导致“糖尿病并发症”，因此，本发明权利要求技术方案中提到“糖尿病性微血管病变”和“糖尿病并发症”术语时，都涵盖了糖尿病引发的血栓形成。
“糖尿病性视网膜病变”指由糖尿病引起的视网膜组织学和功能变化的病变主要由糖尿病引起的微血管病变导致。糖尿病性视网膜病变是最常见的糖尿病眼病，常造成视力减退或失明。据统计，50％的糖尿病患者在病程的10年左右将出现该病变，15年以上则达80％。糖尿病病情越重，年龄越大，发病的几率越高。
“纤溶酶”是存在于血液中的一种非常重要的酶，能将纤维蛋白凝块水解为纤维蛋白降解产物和D-二聚体。
“纤溶酶原”是纤溶酶的酶原形式，根据swiss prot中的序列，按含有信号肽的天然人源纤溶酶原氨基酸序列(序列4)计算由810个氨基酸组成，分子量约为92kD，主要在肝脏中合成并能够在血液中循环的糖蛋白，编码该氨基酸序列的cDNA序列如序列3所示。全长的纤溶酶原包含七个结构域：位于C末端的丝氨酸蛋白酶结构域、N末端的Pan Apple(PAp)结构域以及5个Kringle结构域(Kringle1-5)。参照swiss prot中的序列，其信号肽包括残基Met1-Gly19，PAp包括残基Glu20-Val98，Kringle1包括残基Cys103-Cys181，Kringle2包括残基Glu184-Cys262，Kringle3包括残基Cys275-Cys352，Kringle4包括残基Cys377-Cys454，Kringle5包括残基Cys481-Cys560。根据NCBI数据，丝氨酸蛋白酶域包括残基Val581-Arg804。
Glu-纤溶酶原是天然全长的纤溶酶原，由791个氨基酸组成(不含有19个氨基酸的信号肽)，编码该序列的cDNA序列如序列1所示，其氨基酸序列如序列2所示。在体内，还存在一种是从Glu-纤溶酶原的第76-77位氨基酸处水解从而形成的Lys-纤溶酶原，如序列6所示，编码该氨基酸序列的cDNA序列如序列5所示。δ-纤溶酶原(δ-plasminogen)是全长纤溶酶原缺失了Kringle2-Kringle5结构的片段，仅含有Kringle1和丝氨酸蛋白酶域[18，19]，有文献报道了δ-纤溶酶原的氨基酸序列(序列8)[19]，编码该氨基酸序列的cDNA序列如序列7。小纤溶酶原(Mini-plasminogen)由Kringle5和丝氨酸蛋白酶域组成，有文献报道其包括残基Val443-Asn791(以不含有信号肽的Glu-纤溶酶原序列的Glu残基为起始氨基酸)[20]，其氨基酸序列如序列10所示，编码该氨基酸序列的cDNA序列如序列9所示。而微纤溶酶原(Micro-plasminogen)仅含有丝氨酸蛋白酶结构域，有文献报道其氨基酸序列包括残基Ala543-Asn791(以不含有信号肽的Glu-纤溶酶原序列的Glu残基为起始氨基酸)[21]，也有专利文献CN102154253A报道其序列包括残基Lys531-Asn791(以不含有信号肽的Glu-纤溶酶原序列的Glu残基为起始氨基酸)，本专利序列参考专利文献CN102154253A，其氨基酸序列如序列12所示，编码该氨基酸序列的cDNA序列如序列11所示。
本发明的“纤溶酶”与“纤维蛋白溶酶”、“纤维蛋白溶解酶”可互换使用，含义相同；“纤溶酶原”与“纤维蛋白溶酶原”、“纤维蛋白溶解酶原”可互换使用，含义相同。
在循环过程中，纤溶酶原采用封闭的非活性构象，但当结合至血栓或细胞表面时，在纤溶酶原激活剂(plasminogen activator，PA)的介导下，其转变为呈开放性构象的活性纤溶酶。具有活性的纤溶酶可进一步将纤维蛋白凝块水解为纤维蛋白降解产物和D-二聚体，进而溶解血栓。其中纤溶酶原的PAp结构域包含维持纤溶酶原处于非活性封闭构象的重要决定簇，而KR结构域则能够与存在于受体和底物上的赖氨酸残基结合。已知多种能够作为纤溶酶原激活剂的酶，包括：组织纤溶酶原激活剂(tPA)、尿激酶纤溶酶原激活剂(uPA)、激肽释放酶和凝血因子XII(哈格曼因子)等。
“纤溶酶原活性片段”是指在纤溶酶原蛋白中，能够与底物中的靶序列结合并发挥蛋白水解功能的活性片段。本发明涉及纤溶酶原的技术方案涵盖了用纤溶酶原活性片段代替纤溶酶原的技术方案。本发明所述的纤溶酶原活性片段为包含纤溶酶原的丝氨酸蛋白酶域的蛋白质，优选，本发明所述的纤溶酶原活性片段包含序列14、与序列14具有至少80％、90％、95％、96％、97％、98％、99％同源性的氨基酸序列的蛋白质。因此，本发明所述的纤溶酶原包括含有该纤溶酶原活性片段、并且仍然保持该纤溶酶原活性的蛋白。
目前，对于血液中纤维蛋白溶酶原及其活性测定方法包括：对组织纤维蛋白溶酶原激活剂活性的检测(t-PAA)、血浆组织纤维蛋白溶酶原激活剂抗原的检测(t-PAAg)、对血浆组织纤溶酶原活性的检测(plgA)、血浆组织纤溶酶原抗原的检测(plgAg)、血浆组织纤维蛋白溶酶原激活剂抑制物活性的检测、血浆组织纤维蛋白溶酶原激活剂抑制物抗原的检测、血浆纤维蛋白溶酶-抗纤维蛋白溶酶复合物检测(PAP)。其中最常用的检测方法为发色底物法：向受检血浆中加链激酶(SK)和发色底物，受检血浆中的PLG在SK的作用下，转变成PLM，后者作用于发色底物，随后用分光光度计测定，吸光度增加与纤维蛋白溶酶原活性成正比。此外也可采用免疫化学法、凝胶电泳、免疫比浊法、放射免疫扩散法等对血液中的纤维蛋白溶酶原活性进行测定。
“直系同源物或直系同系物(ortholog)”指不同物种之间的同源物，既包括蛋白同源物也包括DNA同源物，也称为直向同源物、垂直同源物。其具体指不同物种中由同一祖先基因进化而来的蛋白或基因。本发明的纤维蛋 白溶酶原包括人的天然纤维蛋白溶酶原，还包括来源于不同物种的、具有纤维蛋白溶酶原活性的纤维蛋白溶酶原直系同源物或直系同系物。
“保守取代变体”是指其中一个给定的氨基酸残基改变但不改变蛋白质或酶的整体构象和功能，这包括但不限于以相似特性(如酸性，碱性，疏水性，等)的氨基酸取代亲本蛋白质中氨基酸序列中的氨基酸。具有类似性质的氨基酸是众所周知的。例如，精氨酸、组氨酸和赖氨酸是亲水性的碱性氨基酸并可以互换。同样，异亮氨酸是疏水氨基酸，则可被亮氨酸，蛋氨酸或缬氨酸替换。因此，相似功能的两个蛋白或氨基酸序列的相似性可能会不同。例如，基于MEGALIGN算法的70％至99％的相似度(同一性)。“保守取代变体”还包括通过BLAST或FASTA算法确定具有60％以上的氨基酸同一性的多肽或酶，若能达75％以上更好，最好能达85％以上，甚至达90％以上为最佳，并且与天然或亲本蛋白质或酶相比具有相同或基本相似的性质或功能。
“分离的”纤溶酶原是指从其天然环境分离和/或回收的纤溶酶原蛋白。在一些实施方案中，所述纤溶酶原会纯化(1)至大于90％、大于95％、或大于98％的纯度(按重量计)，如通过Lowry法所确定的，例如超过99％(按重量计)，(2)至足以通过使用旋转杯序列分析仪获得N端或内部氨基酸序列的至少15个残基的程度，或(3)至同质性，该同质性是通过使用考马斯蓝或银染在还原性或非还原性条件下的十二烷基硫酸钠-聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳(SDS-PAGE)确定的。分离的纤溶酶原也包括通过生物工程技术从重组细胞制备，并通过至少一个纯化步骤分离的纤溶酶原。
术语“多肽”、“肽”和“蛋白质”在本文中可互换使用，指任何长度的氨基酸的聚合形式，其可以包括遗传编码的和非遗传编码的氨基酸，化学或生物化学修饰的或衍生化的氨基酸，和具有经修饰的肽主链的多肽。该术语包括融合蛋白，包括但不限于具有异源氨基酸序列的融合蛋白，具有异源和同源前导序列(具有或没有N端甲硫氨酸残基)的融合物；等等。
关于参照多肽序列的“氨基酸序列同一性百分数(％)”定义为在必要时引入缺口以实现最大百分比序列同一性后，且不将任何保守替代视为序列同一性的一部分时，候选序列中与参照多肽序列中的氨基酸残基相同的氨基酸残基的百分率。为测定百分比氨基酸序列同一性目的的对比可以以本领域技术范围内的多种方式实现，例如使用公众可得到的计算机软件，诸如 BLAST、BLAST-2、ALIGN或Megalign(DNASTAR)软件。本领域技术人员能决定用于比对序列的适宜参数，包括对所比较序列全长实现最大对比需要的任何算法。然而，为了本发明的目的，氨基酸序列同一性百分数值是使用序列比较计算机程序ALIGN-2产生的。
在采用ALIGN-2来比较氨基酸序列的情况中，给定氨基酸序列A相对于给定氨基酸序列B的％氨基酸序列同一性(或者可表述为具有或包含相对于、与、或针对给定氨基酸序列B的某一％氨基酸序列同一性的给定氨基酸序列A)如下计算：
分数X/Y乘100
其中X是由序列比对程序ALIGN-2在该程序的A和B比对中评分为相同匹配的氨基酸残基的数目，且其中Y是B中的氨基酸残基的总数。应当领会，在氨基酸序列A的长度与氨基酸序列B的长度不相等的情况下，A相对于B的％氨基酸序列同一性会不等于B相对于A的％氨基酸序列同一性。除非另有明确说明，本文中使用的所有％氨基酸序列同一性值都是依照上一段所述，使用ALIGN-2计算机程序获得的。
如本文中使用的，术语“治疗”和“处理”指获得期望的药理和/或生理效果。所述效果可以是完全或部分预防疾病或其症状，和/或部分或完全治愈疾病和/或其症状，并且包括：(a)预防疾病在受试者体内发生，所述受试者可以具有疾病的素因，但是尚未诊断为具有疾病；(b)抑制疾病，即阻滞其形成；和(c)减轻疾病和/或其症状，即引起疾病和/或其症状消退。
术语“个体”、“受试者”和“患者”在本文中可互换使用，指哺乳动物，包括但不限于鼠(大鼠、小鼠)、非人灵长类、人、犬、猫、有蹄动物(例如马、牛、绵羊、猪、山羊)等。
“治疗有效量”或“有效量”指在对哺乳动物或其它受试者施用以治疗疾病时足以实现对疾病的所述预防和/或治疗的纤溶酶原的量。“治疗有效量”会根据所使用的纤溶酶原、要治疗的受试者的疾病和/或其症状的严重程度以及年龄、体重等而变化。
2.本发明纤溶酶原的制备
纤溶酶原可以从自然界分离并纯化用于进一步的治疗用途，也可以通过标准的化学肽合成技术来合成。当通过化学合成多肽时，可以经液相或固相进行合成。固相多肽合成(SPPS)(其中将序列的C末端氨基酸附接于不 溶性支持物，接着序贯添加序列中剩余的氨基酸)是适合纤溶酶原化学合成的方法。各种形式的SPPS，诸如Fmoc和Boc可用于合成纤溶酶原。用于固相合成的技术描述于Barany和Solid-Phase Peptide Synthesis；第3-284页于The Peptides：Analysis，Synthesis，Biology.第2卷：Special Methods in Peptide Synthesis，Part A.，Merrifield，等J.Am.Chem.Soc.，85：2149-2156(1963)；Stewart等，Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis，2nd ed.Pierce Chem.Co.，Rockford，Ill.(1984)；和Ganesan A.2006Mini Rev.Med Chem.6：3-10和Camarero JA等2005Protein Pept Lett.12：723-8中。简言之，用其上构建有肽链的功能性单元处理小的不溶性多孔珠。在偶联/去保护的重复循环后，将附接的固相游离N末端胺与单个受N保护的氨基酸单元偶联。然后，将此单元去保护，露出可以与别的氨基酸附接的新的N末端胺。肽保持固定在固相上，之后将其切掉。
可以使用标准重组方法来生产本发明的纤溶酶原。例如，将编码纤溶酶原的核酸插入表达载体中，使其与表达载体中的调控序列可操作连接。表达调控序列包括但不限于启动子(例如天然关联的或异源的启动子)、信号序列、增强子元件、和转录终止序列。表达调控可以是载体中的真核启动子系统，所述载体能够转化或转染真核宿主细胞(例如COS或CHO细胞)。一旦将载体掺入合适的宿主中，在适合于核苷酸序列的高水平表达及纤溶酶原的收集和纯化的条件下维持宿主。
合适的表达载体通常在宿主生物体中作为附加体或作为宿主染色体DNA的整合部分复制。通常，表达载体含有选择标志物(例如氨苄青霉素抗性、潮霉素抗性、四环素抗性、卡那霉素抗性或新霉素抗性)以有助于对外源用期望的DNA序列转化的那些细胞进行检测。
大肠杆菌(Escherichia coli)是可以用于克隆主题抗体编码多核苷酸的原核宿主细胞的例子。适合于使用的其它微生物宿主包括杆菌，诸如枯草芽孢杆菌(Bacillus subtilis)和其他肠杆菌科(Enterobacteriaceae)，诸如沙门氏菌属(Salmonella)、沙雷氏菌属(Serratia)、和各种假单胞菌属(Pseudomonas)物种。在这些原核宿主中，也可以生成表达载体，其通常会含有与宿主细胞相容的表达控制序列(例如复制起点)。另外，会存在许多公知的启动子，诸如乳糖启动子系统，色氨酸(trp)启动子系统，β-内酰胺酶启动子系统，或来 自噬菌体λ的启动子系统。启动子通常会控制表达，任选在操纵基因序列的情况中，并且具有核糖体结合位点序列等，以启动并完成转录和翻译。
其他微生物，诸如酵母也可用于表达。酵母(例如酿酒酵母(S.cerevisiae))和毕赤酵母(Pichia)是合适的酵母宿主细胞的例子，其中合适的载体根据需要具有表达控制序列(例如启动子)、复制起点、终止序列等。典型的启动子包含3-磷酸甘油酸激酶和其它糖分解酶。诱导型酵母启动于特别包括来自醇脱氢酶、异细胞色素C、和负责麦芽糖和半乳糖利用的酶的启动子。
在微生物外，哺乳动物细胞(例如在体外细胞培养物中培养的哺乳动物细胞)也可以用于表达并生成本发明的纤溶酶原(例如编码主题抗-Tau抗体的多核苷酸)。参见Winnacker，From Genes to Clones，VCH Publishers，N.Y.，N.Y.(1987)。合适的哺乳动物宿主细胞包括CHO细胞系、各种Cos细胞系、HeLa细胞、骨髓瘤细胞系、和经转化的B细胞或杂交瘤。用于这些细胞的表达载体可以包含表达控制序列，如复制起点，启动子和增强子(Queen等，Immunol.Rev.89：49(1986))，以及必需的加工信息位点，诸如核糖体结合位点、RNA剪接位点、多聚腺苷酸化位点，和转录终止子序列。合适的表达控制序列的例子是白免疫球蛋白基因、SV40、腺病毒、牛乳头瘤病毒、巨细胞病毒等衍生的启动子。参见Co等，J.Immunol.148：1149(1992)。
一旦合成(化学或重组方式)，可以依照本领域的标准规程，包括硫酸铵沉淀、亲和柱、柱层析、高效液相层析(HPLC)、凝胶电泳等来纯化本发明所述的纤溶酶原。该纤溶酶原是基本上纯的，例如至少约80％至85％纯的，至少约85％至90％纯的，至少约90％至95％纯的，或98％至99％纯的或更纯的，例如不含污染物，所述污染物如细胞碎片，除主题抗体以外的大分子，等等。
3.药物配制剂
可以通过将具有所需纯度的纤溶酶原与可选的药用载体，赋形剂，或稳定剂(Remington′s Pharmaceutical Sciences，16版，Osol，A.ed.(1980))混合形成冻干制剂或水溶液制备治疗配制剂。可接受的载体、赋形剂、稳定剂在所用剂量及浓度下对受者无毒性，并包括缓冲剂例如磷酸盐，柠檬酸盐及其它有机酸；抗氧化剂包括抗坏血酸和蛋氨酸；防腐剂(例如十八烷基二 甲基苄基氯化铵；氯化己烷双胺；氯化苄烷铵(benzalkonium chloride)，苯索氯铵；酚、丁醇或苯甲醇；烷基对羟基苯甲酸酯如甲基或丙基对羟基苯甲酸酯；邻苯二酚；间苯二酚；环己醇；3-戊醇；间甲酚)；低分子量多肽(少于约10个残基)；蛋白质如血清白蛋白、明胶或免疫球蛋白；亲水聚合物如聚乙烯吡咯烷酮；氨基酸如甘氨酸、谷氨酰胺、天冬酰胺、组氨酸、精氨酸或赖氨酸；单糖、二糖及其它碳水化合物包括葡萄糖、甘露糖、或糊精；螯合剂如EDTA；糖类如蔗糖、甘露醇、岩藻糖或山梨醇；成盐反离子如钠；金属复合物(例如锌-蛋白复合物)；和/或非离子表面活性剂，例如TWEENTM，PLURONICSTM或聚乙二醇(PEG)。优选冻干的抗-VEGF抗体配制剂在WO 97/04801中描述，其包含在本文中作为参考。
本发明的配制剂也可含有需治疗的具体病症所需的一种以上的活性化合物，优选活性互补并且相互之间没有副作用的那些。例如，抗高血压的药物、抗心律失常的药物、治疗糖尿病的药物等。
本发明的纤溶酶原可包裹在通过诸如凝聚技术或界面聚合而制备的微胶囊中，例如，可置入在胶质药物传送系统(例如，脂质体，白蛋白微球，微乳剂，纳米颗粒和纳米胶囊)中或置入粗滴乳状液中的羟甲基纤维素或凝胶-微胶囊和聚-(甲基丙烯酸甲酯)微胶囊中。这些技术公开于Remington′s Pharmaceutical Sciences 16th edition，Osol，A.Ed.(1980)。
用于体内给药的本发明的纤溶酶原必需是无菌的。这可以通过在冷冻干燥和重新配制之前或之后通过除菌滤膜过滤而轻易实现。
本发明的纤溶酶原可制备缓释制剂。缓释制剂的适当实例包括具有一定形状且含有糖蛋白的固体疏水聚合物半通透基质，例如膜或微胶囊。缓释基质实例包括聚酯、水凝胶(如聚(2-羟基乙基-异丁烯酸酯)(Langer等，J.Biomed.Mater.Res.，15：167-277(1981)；Langer，Chem.Tech.，12：98-105(1982))或聚(乙烯醇)、聚交酯(美国专利3773919，EP 58，481)、L-谷氨酸与γ乙基-L-谷氨酸的共聚物(Sidman，等，Biopolymers 22：547(1983))，不可降解的乙烯-乙烯乙酸酯(ethylene-vinyl acetate)(Langer，等，出处同上)，或可降解的乳酸-羟基乙酸共聚物如Lupron DepotTM(由乳酸-羟基乙酸共聚物和亮氨酰脯氨酸(leuprolide)乙酸酯组成的可注射的微球体)，以及聚D-(-)-3-羟丁酸。聚合物如乙烯-乙酸乙烯酯和乳酸-羟基乙酸能持续释放分子100天以上，而一些水凝胶释放蛋白的时间却较短。可以根据相关机理来设计使 蛋白稳定的合理策略。例如，如果发现凝聚的机理是通过硫代二硫键互换而形成分子间S-S键，则可通过修饰巯基残基、从酸性溶液中冻干、控制湿度、采用合适的添加剂、和开发特定的聚合物基质组合物来实现稳定。
4.给药和剂量
可以通过不同方式，例如通过静脉内、腹膜内、皮下、颅内、鞘内、动脉内(例如经由颈动脉)、肌内、鼻内、眼内、表面或皮内施用或脊髓或脑投递来实现本发明药物组合物的施用。气溶胶制剂如鼻喷雾制剂包含活性剂的纯化的水性或其它溶液及防腐剂和等渗剂。眼内施用时需要将此类制剂调节至与眼结膜相容的pH和等渗状态。
用于胃肠外施用的制备物包括无菌水性或非水性溶液、悬浮液和乳剂。非水性溶剂的例子是丙二醇、聚乙二醇、植物油如橄榄油，和可注射有机酯，如油酸乙酯。水性载体包括水、醇性/水性溶液、乳剂或悬浮液，包括盐水和缓冲介质。胃肠外媒介物包含氯化钠溶液、林格氏右旋糖、右旋糖和氯化钠、或固定油。静脉内媒介物包含液体和营养补充物、电解质补充物，等等。也可以存在防腐剂和其他添加剂，诸如例如，抗微生物剂、抗氧化剂、螯合剂、和惰性气体，等等。
医务人员会基于各种临床因素确定剂量方案。如医学领域中公知的，任一患者的剂量取决于多种因素，包括患者的体型、体表面积、年龄、要施用的具体化合物、性别、施用次数和路径、总体健康、和同时施用的其它药物。本发明包含纤溶酶原的药物组合物的剂量范围可以为例如每天约0.0001至2000mg/kg，或约0.001至500mg/kg(例如0.02mg/kg，0.25mg/kg，0.5mg/kg，0.75mg/kg，10mg/kg，50mg/kg等等)受试者体重。例如，剂量可以是1mg/kg体重或50mg/kg体重或在1-50mg/kg的范围，或至少1mg/kg。高于或低于此例示性范围的剂量也涵盖在内，特别是考虑到上述的因素。上述范围中的中间剂量也包含在本发明的范围内。受试者可以每天、隔天、每周或根据通过经验分析确定的任何其它日程表施用此类剂量。例示性的剂量日程表包括连续几天1-10mg/kg。在本发明的药物施用过程中需要实时评估、定期评估糖尿病视网膜病变及其相关病症的治疗效果和安全性。

参照文献[22-24]报道，准备视网膜血管。具体流程如下：小鼠眼球摘除后立即用4％多聚甲醛PBS缓冲液中固定过夜。从眼球分离视网膜后在室温条件下用水冲洗过夜，之后在37℃条件下用3％胰酶(Invitrogen，Grand Island，NY)消化2-3h。组织转移到纯净水中，在解剖显微镜下从周围附着组织上分离出视网膜血管，固定在干净的载玻片上，自然干燥充分后在PAS溶液中染色，水冲洗后行脱水并封片。制备的视网膜血管在显微镜下观察。PAS染色密度用Image-Pro Plus 6.0软件进行分析。
随机计数视网膜中部4-6视野中的无细胞毛细血管数量。无细胞核仅有毛细血管壁的毛细管称为无细胞毛细血管[25]。数据用每10mm2中无细胞毛细血管数来表示。
4.视网膜石蜡切片HE染色：
小鼠眼球摘取后在4％多聚甲醛PBS缓冲液中固定24-48小时，固定后的眼球经酒精梯度脱水和二甲苯透明后进行石蜡包埋。之后进行石蜡切片和HE染色，显微镜下观察视网膜病变。
5.视网膜VEGF、bcl-2、F4/80、纤维蛋白免疫组化染色[22，26]：
眼球进行常规石蜡切片，脱蜡复水后，切片高温修复15min。双氧水孵育15分钟。10％的正常羊血清液(Vectorlaboratories，Inc.，USA)封闭1小时，一抗4℃孵育过夜，TBS冲洗，滴加二抗，室温孵育1小时，显色。苏木素复染、梯度脱水透明并封片，备观察。每个眼球选取2张结构完整的视网膜切片，每张切片随机选取5个视野，Image-Pro Plus 6.0图像处理软件分析各组染色区的平均光密度值。
实施例1纤溶酶原对糖尿病小鼠体重的影响
24-25周龄db/db雄鼠20只，随机分为两组，给溶媒PBS对照组和给纤溶酶原组，每组各10只。实验开始当天记为第0天称重分组，实验第二天开始给纤溶酶原或PBS并记为第1天，连续给药31天。给纤溶酶原组小鼠按2mg/0.2mL/只/天尾静脉注射纤溶酶原，给溶媒PBS对照组给予相同体积的PBS。在第0、4、7、11、16、21、26、31天分别称体重。
结果显示，给纤溶酶原组和给溶媒PBS对照组在第0、4、7、11、16、21、26、31天体重无显著差异(图1)，说明纤溶酶原对动物体重影响不大。
实施例2纤溶酶原对糖尿病小鼠视网膜的保护作用
24-25周龄db/db雄鼠20只，随机分为两组，给溶媒PBS对照组和给纤溶酶原组，每组各10只。实验开始当天记为第0天称重分组，实验第二天开始给纤溶酶原或PBS并记为第1天，连续给药31天。给纤溶酶原组小鼠按2mg/0.2mL/只/天尾静脉注射纤溶酶原，给溶媒PBS对照组给予相同体积的PBS。在第32天处死小鼠并取左侧眼球在4％多聚甲醛中固定24小时。固定后的眼球经酒精梯度脱水和二甲苯透明后进行石蜡包埋。组织切片厚度为5μm，切片脱蜡复水并用苏木素和伊红染色(HE染色)，1％盐酸酒精分化，氨水返蓝，并酒精梯度脱水封片，切片在显微镜下400倍下观察。
糖尿病视网膜病变中视网膜会发生萎缩，视网膜的外网织层(outer plexiform layer，OPL)、外核层(outer nuclear layer，ONL)、感光层(photoreceptor layer，PL)以及整个视网膜变薄[27]。因此，以上四个厚度参数可以用来判断视网膜损伤情况。
结果显示，给溶媒PBS对照组小鼠视网膜内各层结构疏松，细胞排列不规则，视网膜节细胞和内核层细胞排列紊乱，视网膜色素上皮细胞增生(图2A)；给纤溶酶原组与给溶媒PBS对照组比较，视网膜内各层细胞排列 整齐，并可观察到视网膜OPL、ONL、PL的厚度以及总厚度前者要比后者厚(图2B)。说明注射纤溶酶原能够促进糖尿病小鼠视网膜损伤的修复。
实施例3纤溶酶原改善糖尿病晚期小鼠视网膜的损伤
24-25周龄db/db雄鼠20只，随机分为两组，给溶媒PBS对照组和给纤溶酶原组，每组各10只。实验开始当天记为第0天称重分组，实验第二天开始给纤溶酶原或PBS并记为第1天，连续给药31天。给纤溶酶原组小鼠按2mg/0.2mL/只/天尾静脉注射纤溶酶原，给溶媒PBS对照组给予相同体积的PBS。在第32天处死小鼠并取左侧眼球在多聚甲醛固定液中固定24小时。固定后的眼球剥离出视网膜后，置于1mL 3％胰酶(Solarbio)的EP管中，在摇床中37℃震荡消化2-3h。待视网膜出现软化、脱落的现象后小心的将视网膜移入装有蒸馏水的EP管中，于摇床中37℃震荡2-3h，使视网膜上多余的组织脱落。轻柔的吹打视网膜，使其只剩血管层后在玻片上铺片，自然风干。视网膜于Schiff氏液染色(PAS染色)，1％盐酸酒精分化，氨水返蓝，并酒精梯度脱水二甲苯透明后封片，在显微镜下400倍下观察。
相关研究显示，糖尿病会引起视网膜病变，导致视网膜血管内皮细胞增生，周细胞丢失以及无细胞血管的形成[28，29]。
从实验结果可以看出，与纤溶酶原组(图3B)相比，给溶媒PBS对照组(图3A)db/db鼠视网膜毛细血管管径粗细不一，血管管壁增厚深染，血管内皮细胞(Δ)增生，周细胞(↓)明显减少，而给纤溶酶原组病理改变明显减轻；定量分析发现给纤溶酶原组与给溶媒PBS对照组相比无细胞血管长度(图3C)显著减小，并且统计学分析结果显示显著差异。说明纤溶酶原能够显著促进糖尿病后期小鼠视网膜损伤的修复。
实施例4纤溶酶原促进糖尿病小鼠视网膜损伤的修复
24-25周龄db/db雄鼠20只，随机分为两组，给溶媒PBS对照组和给纤溶酶原组，每组各10只。实验开始当天记为第0天称重分组，实验第二天开始给纤溶酶原或PBS并记为第1天，连续给药31天。给纤溶酶原组小鼠按2mg/0.2mL/只/天尾静脉注射纤溶酶原，给溶媒PBS对照组给予相同体积的PBS。在第32天取眼球在4％多聚甲醛中固定24小时，固定后的眼球经酒精梯度脱水和二甲苯透明后进行石蜡包埋。组织切片厚度为5μm，切片脱蜡复水后水洗1次。以3％双氧水孵育15分钟，水洗2次，每次5分 钟。10％的正常羊血清液封闭1小时；时间到后，弃除羊血清液，用PAP笔圈出组织。兔抗小鼠VEGF抗体(Abcam)4℃孵育过夜，TBS洗2次，每次5分钟。山羊抗兔IgG(HRP)抗体(Abcam)二抗室温孵育1小时，TBS洗2次，每次5分钟。按DAB试剂盒(Vector laboratories，Inc.，USA)显色，水洗3次后苏木素复染30秒，流水冲洗5分钟。梯度脱水透明并封片，切片在显微镜下400倍下观察。
VEGF是血管内皮生长因子，在机体血管损伤的情况下其表达升高[30，31]。因此，VEGF的表达能够反映血管损伤的情况。
结果显示，给溶媒PBS对照组(图4A)视网膜各层中VEGF的表达显著高于给纤溶酶原组(图4B)，说明注射纤溶酶原抑制视网膜VEGF的表达，促进糖尿病小鼠视网膜损伤的修复。
实施例5纤溶酶原糖促进糖尿病造成的视网膜微血栓的溶解
24-25周龄db/db雄鼠10只，随机分为两组，给溶媒PBS对照组和给纤溶酶原组各5只。实验开始当天记为第0天称重分组，实验第二天开始给纤溶酶原或PBS并记为第1天，连续给药15天。给纤溶酶原组小鼠按2mg/0.2mL/只/天尾静脉注射纤溶酶原，给溶媒PBS对照组给予相同体积的PBS。最后一次给药24小时后摘眼球取血，全血静置后血清用于检测血液中D-二聚体(D-dimer)含量。
结果显示，给药15天后，血清中D-二聚体的含量显著上升(图5)，说明给药纤溶酶原后，由于糖尿病造成的视网膜微血栓显著溶解。
实施例6纤溶酶原促进糖尿病小鼠视网膜凋亡抑制蛋白的表达
24-25周龄db/db雄鼠20只，随机分为两组，给溶媒PBS对照组和给纤溶酶原组，每组各10只。实验开始当天记为第0天称重分组，实验第二天开始给纤溶酶原或PBS并记为第1天，连续给药31天。给纤溶酶原组小鼠按2mg/0.2mL/只/天尾静脉注射纤溶酶原，给溶媒PBS对照组给予相同体积的PBS。在第32天取眼球在4％多聚甲醛中固定24小时。固定后的眼球经酒精梯度脱水和二甲苯透明后进行石蜡包埋。组织切片厚度为5μm，切片脱蜡复水后水洗1次。以3％双氧水孵育15分钟，水洗2次，每次5分钟。10％的正常羊血清液封闭1小时；之后弃除羊血清液，用PAP笔圈出组织。兔抗小鼠Bcl-2抗体(Abcam)4℃孵育过夜，TBS洗2次，每次5分钟。山羊抗兔IgG(HRP)抗体(Abcam)二抗室温孵育1小时，TBS洗2次， 每次5分钟。按DAB试剂盒(Vector laboratories，Inc.，USA)显色，水洗3次后苏木素复染30秒，流水冲洗5分钟。梯度脱水透明并封片，切片在显微镜下400倍下观察。
Bcl-2为细胞凋亡抑制蛋白，在凋亡刺激因子作用下会下调表达[32，33]。结果显示，给溶媒PBS对照组(图6A)视网膜中Bcl-2的表达要显著地低于给纤溶酶原组(图6B)。说明纤溶酶原促进糖尿病小鼠视网膜细胞凋亡抑制分子Bcl-2的表达，从而能够抑制视网膜细胞的凋亡。
实施例7纤溶酶原促进糖尿病晚期心肌损伤的修复
24-25周龄db/db雄鼠28只，随机分为两组，给溶媒PBS对照组12只，给纤溶酶原组16只。实验开始当天记为第0天称重分组，实验第二天开始给纤溶酶原或PBS并记为第1天，连续给药31天。给纤溶酶原组小鼠按2mg/0.2mL/只/天尾静脉注射纤溶酶原，给溶媒PBS对照组给予相同体积的PBS。第32天摘除眼球取血，以3500r/min离心15-20分钟，并取上清检测进行心肌肌钙蛋白I的浓度测定。
心肌肌钙蛋白I(cardiac troponin，CTNI)是心肌损伤的重要标志物，其血清浓度能够反映心肌损伤的程度[34]。结果显示，给纤溶酶原组心肌肌钙蛋白I的浓度要明显的低于给溶媒PBS对照组，且具有极显著的统计学差异(图7)。说明纤溶酶原能够极显著促进糖尿病后期小鼠心肌损伤的修复。

24-25周龄db/db雄鼠20只，随机分为两组，给溶媒PBS对照组和给纤溶酶原组，每组各10只。实验开始当天记为第0天称重分组，实验第二天开始给纤溶酶原或PBS并记为第1天，连续给药31天。给纤溶酶原组小鼠按2mg/0.2mL/只/天尾静脉注射纤溶酶原，给溶媒PBS对照组给予相同体积的PBS。在第32天处死小鼠并取肾脏在10％中性福尔马林固定液中固定24小时。固定后的肾脏组织经酒精梯度脱水和二甲苯透明后进行石蜡包埋。组织切片厚度为5μm，切片脱蜡复水后水洗1次。以3％双氧水孵育15分钟，水洗2次，每次5分钟。10％的正常羊血清液(Vector laboratories，Inc.，USA)封闭1小时；时间到后，弃除羊血清液，用PAP笔圈出组织。兔抗小鼠Bcl-2抗体(Abcam)4℃孵育过夜，TBS洗2次，每次5分钟。山羊抗兔IgG(HRP)抗体(Abcam)二抗室温孵育1小时，TBS洗2次，每次5分钟。按DAB试剂盒(Vector laboratories，Inc.，USA)显色，水洗3 次后苏木素复染30秒，流水冲洗5分钟。梯度脱水透明并封片，切片在显微镜下200倍下观察。
Bcl-2为细胞凋亡抑制蛋白，在凋亡刺激因子作用下会下调表达[32，33]。Bcl-2免疫组化结果显示，给纤溶酶原组(图8B)肾小管上皮细胞阳性表达着色要明显深于给溶媒PBS对照组(图8A)，且前者的着色范围更广。定量分析结果与观察结果一致，且具有显著差异(如图8C)。这表明纤溶酶原促进糖尿病小鼠肾脏细胞凋亡抑制分子Bcl-2的表达，从而能够抑制糖尿病小鼠肾脏组织细胞凋亡。
实施例9纤溶酶原促进糖尿病晚期小鼠肾脏纤维蛋白水解
24-25周龄db/db雄鼠20只，随机分为两组，给溶媒PBS对照组和给纤溶酶原组，每组各10只。实验开始当天记为第0天称重分组，实验第二天开始给纤溶酶原或PBS并记为第1天，连续给药31天。给纤溶酶原组小鼠按2mg/0.2mL/只/天尾静脉注射纤溶酶原，给溶媒PBS对照组给予相同体积的PBS。在第32天处死小鼠并取肾脏在10％中性福尔马林固定液中固定24小时。固定后的肾脏组织经酒精梯度脱水和二甲苯透明后进行石蜡包埋。组织切片厚度为5μm，切片脱蜡复水后水洗1次。以3％双氧水孵育15分钟，水洗2次，每次5分钟。10％的正常羊血清液(Vector laboratories，Inc.，USA)封闭1小时；时间到后，弃除羊血清液，用PAP笔圈出组织。兔抗小鼠纤维蛋白(原)抗体(Abcam)4℃孵育过夜，TBS洗2次，每次5分钟。山羊抗兔IgG(HRP)抗体(Abcam)二抗室温孵育1小时，TBS洗2次，每次5分钟。按DAB试剂盒(Vector laboratories，Inc.，USA)显色，水洗3次后苏木素复染30秒，流水冲洗5分钟。梯度脱水透明并封片，切片在显微镜下200倍下观察。
纤维蛋白原是纤维蛋白的前体，在组织存在损伤的情况下，作为机体对损伤的一种应激反应，纤维蛋白原水解成纤维蛋白沉积在损伤部位[35-37]。因此，可将纤维蛋白水平作为损伤程度的一个标志。
结果显示，给纤溶酶原组(图9B)比给溶媒PBS对照组(图9A)纤维蛋白原阳性着色浅。说明注射纤溶酶原能够降低糖尿病小鼠沉积的纤维蛋白，反映出纤溶酶原对糖尿病小鼠的肾脏损伤的修复作用。
实施例10纤溶酶原促进糖尿病小鼠肝脏损的修复
25-28周龄db/db雄鼠9只，随机分为两组，给溶媒PBS对照组3只，给纤溶酶原组6只。实验开始当天记为第0天称重分组，实验第二天开始给纤溶酶原或PBS并记为第1天，连续给药31天。给纤溶酶原组小鼠按2mg/0.2mL/只/天尾静脉注射纤溶酶原，给溶媒PBS对照组给予相同体积的PBS。给纤溶酶原31天后摘眼球采全血，待血清析出后4℃ 3500r/min离心10分钟，取上清液进行检测。本实验使用谷丙转氨酶检测试剂盒(南京建成生物工程研究所，货号C009-2)，运用赖氏比色法(Reitman-Frankel)检测血清中谷丙转氨酶(ALT)的含量。
谷丙转氨酶是肝脏健康状态的一个重要指标[38，39]，谷丙转氨酶的正常参考值区间为9～50U/L。检测结果显示，给溶媒PBS对照组血清中ALT的含量显著高于正常生理指标，而给纤溶酶原组已经恢复到了体内的正常水平，并且给纤溶酶原组显著低于给溶媒PBS对照组，且具有统计学差异(图10)。说明在糖尿病晚期模型小鼠中，注射纤溶酶原能有效地修复肝损伤。
实施例11纤溶酶原促进糖尿病晚期小鼠肝脏组织的炎症修复
24-25周龄db/db雄鼠10只，随机分为两组，给溶媒PBS对照组和给纤溶酶原组，每组各5只。实验开始当天记为第0天称重分组，实验第二天开始给纤溶酶原或PBS并记为第1天，连续给药31天。给纤溶酶原组小鼠按2mg/0.2mL/只/天尾静脉注射纤溶酶原，给溶媒PBS对照组给予相同体积的PBS。给纤溶酶原31天后处死小鼠并取肝脏组织在10％中性福尔马林固定液中固定24小时。固定后的肝脏组织经酒精梯度脱水和二甲苯透明后进行石蜡包埋。组织切片厚度为5μm，切片脱蜡复水后水洗1次。以3％双氧水孵育15分钟，水洗2次，每次5分钟。10％正常羊血清(Vector laboratories，Inc.，USA)封闭1小时，时间到后甩去血清，用PAP笔圈出组织。针对F4/80的兔多克隆抗体(Abcam)4℃孵育过夜，TBS洗2次，每次5分钟。山羊抗兔IgG(HRP)抗体(Abcam)二抗室温孵育1小时，TBS洗2次。按DAB试剂盒(Vector laboratories，Inc.，USA)显色，水洗3次后苏木素复染30秒，流水冲洗5分钟。梯度脱水透明并封片，切片在显微镜下400倍下观察。
F4/80巨噬细胞标志物，可以表示炎症反应的程度和阶段。结果显示，给纤溶酶原组(图11B)与给溶媒PBS对照组(图11A)相比，给纤溶酶原组小鼠的F4/80阳性表达明显降低，说明给纤溶酶原后肝脏组织炎症减少。图 11C为F4/80免疫组化阳性表达数定量分析结果，给纤溶酶原组F4/80表达量显著减少，且具有统计学差异，说明纤溶酶原能够显著减轻糖尿病小鼠肝脏的炎症。
实施例12纤溶酶原促进糖尿病后期神经损伤小鼠对机械触诱发痛感应能力的修复
24-25周龄db/db雄鼠10只，随机分为两组，给溶媒PBS对照组和给纤溶酶原组各5只。实验开始当天记为第0天称重分组并开始做生理实验，实验第二天开始给纤溶酶原或PBS并记为第1天，连续给药15天。给纤溶酶原组小鼠按2mg/0.2mL/只/天尾静脉注射纤溶酶原，给溶媒PBS对照组给予相同体积的PBS。在给纤溶酶原后第0、4、7、11、16天用Von-Frey纤维丝(Stoelting，USA)检测动物对机械性损伤的敏感程度。以2.0g力为起始力，先检测其左脚。若5次刺激有2次有缩爪反应即为阳性，若为阳性即用小一级的力再对其右脚进行刺激；若为阴性，则用大一级的力对其右脚进行刺激，如此左右脚交替刺激，刺激间隔为5分钟，总共刺激6次，然后根据S.R.Chaplan et al.(1994)[40]介绍的方法计算其50％缩爪的阈值。
研究发现，与给溶媒PBS对照组相比，给纤溶酶原组的糖尿病小鼠机械触诱发痛反应均一性增加，且在第16天检测时发现与给溶媒PBS对照组相比出现了极显著差异(图12)，说明纤溶酶原修复了神经损伤晚期的糖尿病小鼠对机械触诱发痛(mechanical allodynia)的感应能力。
实施例13纤溶酶原对糖尿病后期神经损伤小鼠冷刺激感应的修复
24-25周龄db/db雄鼠10只，随机分为两组，给溶媒PBS对照组和给纤溶酶原组各5只。实验开始当天记为第0天称重分组并开始做生理实验，实验第二天开始给纤溶酶原或PBS并记为第1天，连续给药15天。给纤溶酶原组小鼠按2mg/0.2mL/只/天尾静脉注射纤溶酶原，给溶媒PBS对照组给予相同体积的PBS。在给药后第0、4、7、11、16天用去针头注射器挤出一滴丙酮液珠并轻触db/db鼠足底，使其覆盖整个足底。从左脚开始，每隔3分钟轮流刺激其左右脚，共刺激10次，并统计缩爪反应次数。反应百分比＝缩爪次数/刺激次数计100％。
实验结果显示，在第0和第4天时，给纤溶酶原组和给溶媒PBS对照组对丙酮刺激并无显著差异，而第7天开始观察到显著差异，在第16天则观察到 极显著差异，P值＜0.0001(图13)，说明给药15天后，糖尿病小鼠几乎完全恢复了对冷刺激的反应，表明了纤溶酶原极显著地修复了糖尿病后期的神经对冷刺激感应能力。
实施例14纤溶酶原减少糖尿病后期神经损伤小鼠神经组织纤维蛋白水平
24-25周龄db/db雄鼠10只，随机分为两组，给溶媒PBS对照组和给纤溶酶原组，每组各5只。实验开始当天记为第0天称重分组，实验第二天开始给纤溶酶原或PBS并记为第1天，连续给药15天。给纤溶酶原组小鼠按2mg/0.2mL/只/天尾静脉注射纤溶酶原，给溶媒PBS对照组给予相同体积的PBS。在第16天处死小鼠并取坐骨神经在10％中性福尔马林固定液中固定24小时。固定后的坐骨神经经酒精梯度脱水和二甲苯透明后进行石蜡包埋。组织切片厚度为5μm，切片脱蜡复水后水洗1次，然后用PAP笔圈出组织。以3％TBS稀释的双氧水孵育15分钟，水洗3次。10％正常羊血清(Vector laboratories，Inc.，USA)封闭1小时，吸走多余血清。兔抗小鼠纤维蛋白(原)抗体(Abcam)室温孵育1小时或4℃孵育过夜，TBS洗3次。山羊抗兔IgG(HRP)抗体(Abcam)二抗室温孵育1小时，TBS洗3次。按DAB试剂盒(Vector laboratories，Inc.，USA)显色，水洗3次后苏木素复染30秒，流水冲洗5分钟。梯度脱水透明并封片，切片在显微镜下400倍下观察。
纤维蛋白原是纤维蛋白的前体，在组织存在损伤的情况下，作为机体对损伤的一种应激反应，纤维蛋白原水解成纤维蛋白，因此可将纤维蛋白水平作为损伤程度的一个标志[35-37]。纤维蛋白也是组织损伤后形成血栓的主要成分，因此，也可将纤维蛋白水平作为血栓的一个标志。
研究发现，与给溶媒PBS对照组(图14A)相比，给纤溶酶原组(图14B)的小鼠其坐骨神经纤维蛋白的水平降低，说明纤溶酶原具有降解纤维蛋白水平的功能，损伤得到一定程度的修复，也说明纤溶酶原能够促进神经组织周围血栓的溶解。
实施例15纤溶酶原减轻糖尿病晚期小鼠肾脏的损伤
24-25周龄db/db雄鼠8只，随机分为两组，给溶媒PBS对照组和给纤溶酶原组，每组各4只。实验开始当天记为第0天称重分组，实验第二天开始给纤溶酶原或PBS并记为第1天，连续给药31天。给纤溶酶原组小鼠按2mg/0.2mL/只/天尾静脉注射纤溶酶原，给溶媒PBS对照组给予相同体积 的PBS。在第32天检测生理指标结束，处死小鼠并取肾脏在10％中性福尔马林固定液中固定24小时。固定后的肾脏组织经酒精梯度脱水和二甲苯透明后进行石蜡包埋。组织切片厚度为5μm，切片脱蜡复水后水洗1次。以3％双氧水孵育15分钟，水洗2次，每次5分钟。山羊抗鼠IgM(HRP)抗体(Abcam)室温孵育1小时，TBS洗2次，每次5分钟。按DAB试剂盒(Vector laboratories，Inc.，USA)显色，水洗3次后苏木素复染30秒，流水冲洗5分钟。梯度脱水透明并封片，切片在显微镜下400倍下观察。
IgM抗体在清除凋亡和坏死细胞过程中发挥着重要作用，细胞的凋亡和坏死细胞越多，局部IgM抗体水平越高[41-43]。因此，局部IgM抗体水平能够反映组织器官的损伤情况。
结果显示，给纤溶酶原组(图15B)小鼠肾小球IgM的阳性着色浅于给溶媒PBS对照组(图15A)，并且范围也较对照组小，统计分析结果与观察结果一致(图15C)，这表明注射纤溶酶原后肾小球的损伤明显的改善，反映出纤溶酶原对糖尿病小鼠的机体损伤有显著保护和修复功能。
