Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of biomedicine and relates to the pharmaceutical application of rhein as an inhibitor of S100A8 in inflammatory diseases. Background technique
[0002] S100A8 is called calprotectin, and its genes are all located on human chromosome lq21. The protein consists of 93 amino acid residues, and its relative molecular mass is 10800. S100A8 and S100A9 are calcium-binding proteins of the S100 protein family, which act as calcium ion sensors and are constitutively expressed in neutrophils and monocytes. Under normal circumstances, S100A8 and S100A9 are stably combined in the form of heterodimers / tetramers in the cell, causing changes in protein conformation by combining with Ca2+, exposing the target protein binding site, and passing through toll-like receptor 4 (toll-like receptor4, TLR4) and receptor of advanced glycosylation end product (receptor of advanced glycosylation end product, RAGE) and other receptors ar...
