Problems solved by technology

[0012] At present, there is still a lack of effective treatment methods for RA joint destruction in medicine. Most of the drugs for rheumatism have limited curative effect, large side effects and poor prognosis. However, overcoming the stubborn disease of RA is still a cross-century problem in the medical field all over the world, and it still needs people who are committed to RA research to continue to deepen it.

Embodiment 1

[0065] Example 1: Experiment of Up-regulation of MT1 Expression in RA

[0066] The small molecular protein MT1 can be widely involved in heavy metal detoxification and free radical scavenging, and studies have shown that MT1 protein has a potential immune regulatory function outside the cell. In order to study the role of MT1 in RA, its expression in RA samples was firstly analyzed, and this embodiment will carry out in-depth research by means of cell biology and molecular biology.

Embodiment 2

[0178] Example 2: Test of MT1 inhibiting the occurrence and development of CIA

[0179] The CIA animal model is currently recognized as a typical model for the study of RA, and its phenotype is very similar to the clinical symptoms of RA. In this example, in order to further study the regulatory effect of MT1 on the process of RA, I used local injection of adenovirus expressing MT1 in CIA mice to observe the regulatory effect of MT1 on the phenotypes such as CIA process, clinical score, and synovial inflammation.

Embodiment 3

[0239] Example 3: Experiment of MT1 Regulating Th17 / Treg Balance

[0240] The stability of the immune environment depends on the balance between Th / Treg cells, and the abnormal content or function of these cells will lead to the occurrence of autoimmune diseases. The discovery of Th17 cells originated from the research on the mechanism of autoimmune diseases. Th17 cells mainly secrete cytokines such as IL-17A, IL-17F, and IL-22, which regulate inflammatory responses and promote autoimmune diseases. On the contrary, Treg cells maintain the stability of the immune system and inhibit the occurrence of autoimmune diseases by regulating the function of effector Th cells. The immunological mechanism of RA has not yet been clarified, but studies have shown that Th17 cell differentiation and Treg cell dysfunction are closely related to the occurrence of RA. Therefore, this example examines that MT-1 inhibits the occurrence and development of RA by regulating the balance of Th17 / Treg ...

Abstract

The invention discloses application of metallothionein-1 in the preparation of drugs for inhibiting rheumatoid arthritis. The metallothionein-1 inhibits the differentiation of Th17 cells, promotes the differentiation of regulatory T cells, regulates the balance of Th17 / Treg under the state of CIA, and participates in the generation and development of rheumatoid arthritis; and the metallothionein-1 inhibits the expression of various inflammatory factors related to rheumatoid arthritis by a negative feedback regulation mechanism, and promotes the expression of immune suppression factors (IL-10 and TGF-beta) by a positive feedback regulation mechanism, and therefore, inflammatory response and pathologic change of rheumatoid arthritis are reduced, the process of the rheumatoid arthritis is delayed, and clinical evidence and a drug target are provided for the diagnosis and treatment of autoimmune diseases related to rheumatoid arthritis.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of medicine, especially metallothionein-1 recombinant protein, metallothionein-1 recombinant protein-immune protein G-FC fusion protein, and hyaluronic acid-wrapped metallothionein-1 recombinant protein and metallothionein -1 Preparation of recombinant protein-immune protein G-FC fusion protein nanoparticles, and its application in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases. Background technique [0002] The stability of the body's immune environment depends on the balance between pro-inflammatory Th cells (cTh) and anti-inflammatory Treg cells. The immune balance between cTh / Treg cells is disturbed. For example, excessive activation of cTh cells can lead to autoimmune diseases. occur. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a multi-joint systemic autoimmune disease characterized by chronic synovial inflammation, which eventually leads to joint destruction and physical disability. Although its specific...
