Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a cyclic peptide for protecting vascular endothelial cells, derivatives thereof (such as those chemically modified with fatty acids), and also to their uses. Background Art

[0002] There is a close association between peripheral atherosclerosis and vascular injury. Peripheral atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease caused by various factors, including hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, smoking, obesity, etc. These factors can lead to endothelial cell injury. When endothelial cells are damaged, inflammatory mediators and growth factors are released, promoting cell proliferation and lipid accumulation in the vascular wall. These lipid substances gradually form plaques, called atherosclerotic plaques. The formation of plaques leads to stenosis of the vascular lumen and obstruction of blood flow, resulting in tissue ischemia and insufficient oxygen supply. Therefore, the prevention and treatment of peripheral atherosclerosis require considering both reducing risk factors and protecting vascular health. This includes controlling blood pressure, blood lipids and blood glucose levels, and improving lifestyle, including smoking cessation, a healthy diet and moderate exercise. However, there are currently no reported drugs for repairing blood vessels in clinical practice.

[0003] Ischemic stroke is a common central nervous system disease, also known as cerebral infarction. It is caused by interruption or reduction of blood flow supply to the brain, resulting in cerebral ischemia and injury. Ischemic stroke accounts for approximately 80 - 85% of all stroke cases. The causes of ischemic stroke can be diverse, but the most common cause is arterial stenosis or occlusion. Arterial stenosis refers to the blockage or constriction of blood vessels within the arterial wall, resulting in reduced or blocked ability of blood to flow to the brain. Arterial occlusion is generally caused by atherosclerosis (the most common form of vascular injury), where plaques may rupture or form thrombi, blocking the arteries that supply blood to specific regions of the brain. Therefore, ischemic stroke is also closely related to vascular injury. The occurrence of vascular injury can lead to insufficient blood supply to the brain, ultimately resulting in ischemic injury and dysfunction of brain tissue. In summary, the prevention and treatment of vascular injury are of great significance for preventing and improving the occurrence of ischemic stroke.

[0004] Diabetic lower extremity ischemia refers to a condition of insufficient blood supply to the lower extremities caused by diabetes, which is particularly severely damaged in type 2 diabetes patients. The pathogenic reason is that under a hyperglycemic environment, the oxidative stress signaling pathway is activated, generating a large amount of oxygen free radicals (ROS) that damage vascular endothelial cells, thus causing diabetic lower extremity ischemia. Except for surgical treatment, current drug treatments cannot effectively improve the damaged blood vessels.

[0005] The common problem of the above-mentioned diseases is how to effectively prevent the harm caused by vascular injury. The cyclic peptide developed based on this problem in this project can effectively inhibit the release of ROS from mitochondria, and at the same time stimulate vascular endothelial cells to release nitric oxide, thereby promoting the repair of endothelial cells and remodeling blood vessels. In addition, the fatty acid derivative of the cyclic peptide can capture plasma albumin and prolong the drug efficacy of the cyclic peptide. Summary of the Invention

[0071] (1) Select HUVEC cells acclimated in low-glucose medium as model cells. Count the prepared cell suspension (1×10 5 cells / ml) with a cell counting chamber, dilute it to an appropriate concentration, and then inoculate the cell suspension into a 96-well plate at a volume of 100 μl per well. Place the 96-well plate in a 37°C CO2 incubator and culture for 24 h.

[0072] (2) When the cells grow to 60%-70% confluence, administer the drug stimulation according to the groups for 24 h. At the same time, set up blank wells and control wells. After 24 h of stimulation, change the cell culture medium. After rinsing twice with PBS, add 100 μL of fresh culture medium to each well.

[0073] (3) Add 10 μL of CCK-8 reagent to each well. At this time, pay attention not to generate bubbles, because bubbles will affect the subsequent detection of absorbance. Place the culture plate on a microplate shaker and shake for 10-15 s. After fully mixing, incubate in the incubator in the dark for 1-4 hours. After sufficient reaction, it can be taken out.

[0074] (4) Measure the OD value at 450 nm with an enzyme-labeled instrument, and calculate the cell viability according to the formula provided in the instruction manual.

It indicates that Cyclo-[Leu-Val-Lys(AEEA-AEEA-γ-Glu-Oct)-Gly-Arg] can effectively inhibit the decrease in cell viability induced by high glucose.

[0078] (1) Place the 12-well plate and 1 mL pipette tips in a 4 °C refrigerator for pre-cooling. Place the Matrigel in a 4 °C refrigerator to dissolve. After complete dissolution, aliquot it into pre-cooled centrifuge tubes, 1 mL per tube. After aliquoting, store it at -20 °C to avoid repeated freezing and thawing.

[0079] (2) Select HUVEC cells acclimated in low-glucose medium as the model cells. Count the prepared cell suspension (1*10 5 cells / ml) with a cell counting chamber. Divide the cells into a control group and a Cyclo-[Leu-Val-Lys(AEEA-AEEA-γ-Glu-Oct)-Gly-Arg] group. Add 80 nM of the drug to each well in the Cyclo-[Leu-Val-Lys(AEEA-AEEA-γ-Glu-Oct)-Gly-Arg] group for treatment and stimulate for 24 h.

[0080] (3) Use a pre-cooled 1 mL pipette tip to aspirate about 500 μL of Matrigel and spread it evenly on a 12-well plate, avoiding the formation of air bubbles. Conduct the whole process on ice. Subsequently, place the 12-well plate in a 37 °C incubator for gelation for 30 min.

[0081] (4) Prepare the cell suspension during the gelation process. Digest the cells in each group from the pre-treated cell plate. Count the cells using a cell counting chamber and prepare a 1×10 5 suspension.

[0082] (5) After 30 min, take out the 12-well plate coated with Matrigel from the incubator and aspirate the un-gelled liquid. Slowly add the cell suspension, adding 200 μL to each well. After adding, gently mix well, taking care not to generate air bubbles and the pipette tip not to touch the Matrigel. Carefully place it in a 37 °C incubator. Take out the culture plate after 6 - 12 hours, observe the tube formation under a microscope, take pictures, and conduct image analysis.

[0083] Under high glucose stimulation, the tube formation ability of HUVECs was significantly impaired, while the group treated with Cyclo-[Leu-Val-Lys(AEEA-AEEA-γ-Glu-Oct)-Gly-Arg] showed obvious angiogenesis ( Figure 4 ), indicating that Cyclo-[Leu-Val-Lys(AEEA-AEEA-γ-Glu-Oct)-Gly-Arg] can effectively alleviate the damage of high glucose to cells.

[0084] Experimental Example 4 Pharmacokinetic Study of Cyclopeptide

[0088] Experimental Example 5 Pharmacodynamics Study of Cyclic Peptide

[0089] Obtain Cyclo-[Leu-Val-Lys(AEEA-AEEA-γ-Glu-Oct)-Gly-Arg] prepared in Example 1.

[0090] Select Balb / C mice (male, 20 ± 1 g) as model animals, and establish a diabetic mouse model by injecting streptozotocin (70 mg / kg). Select 18 diabetic mice (male, 21 ± 1 g) and divide them into a model group, a subcutaneous injection of Cyclo-[Leu-Val-Lys(AEEA-AEEA-γ-Glu-Oct)-Gly-Arg] group (each mouse was subcutaneously administered 10 μg of Cyclo-[Leu-Val-Lys(AEEA-AEEA-γ-Glu-Oct)-Gly-Arg], and only administered once within 30 days), and a subcutaneous injection of liraglutide group (each mouse was microinjected with 10 μg of liraglutide once a day for 30 consecutive days). There were 6 mice in each group. Use a razor to shave the back hair of the mice. For each group of mice, the blood flow perfusion of the right lower limb before modeling was measured using a lower limb blood flow Doppler instrument. The model group was not treated, and the blood flow perfusion of the healthy and diseased lower limbs of the mice was measured at the predetermined time points to compare the improvement of blood flow perfusion in the lower limbs of mice in different groups.

[0091] Through Figure 6A observed that on the day of surgery, blood flow in the right hind leg of the mice decreased significantly, indicating the successful establishment of the diabetic lower limb ischemia model. Figure 6 A and Figure 6 B showed that after 30 days of treatment, there were significant differences in blood perfusion between the treatment group and the model group, indicating that subcutaneous injection of Cyclo-[Leu-Val-Lys(AEEA-AEEA-γ-Glu-Oct)-Gly-Arg] could effectively promote microvascular formation. In addition, there was no statistical difference in the drug efficacy between Cyclo-[Leu-Val-Lys(AEEA-AEEA-γ-Glu-Oct)-Gly-Arg] injected subcutaneously only once within 30 days and liraglutide injected subcutaneously every day. This result proved that Cyclo-[Leu-Val-Lys(AEEA-AEEA-γ-Glu-Oct)-Gly-Arg] had good long-acting properties.
