Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of new use of drugs, more particularly, to the application of SIRT4-IN-1 in the preparation of drugs for treating autoimmune diseases. BACKGROUND

[0002] The presence of cytosolic DNA is a potential danger signal, usually indicating the occurrence or presence of tissue damage caused by infection triggered by pathogenic microorganisms, which can quickly trigger the body's innate immune response. In most cells, cyclic guanosine-adenosine synthase (cGAS) is the most common DNA recognition receptor. cGAS functions as the main DNA recognition receptor in the process of transfection of exogenous DNA, bacterial infection, DNA virus or retrovirus infection, and leakage of mitochondrial DNA, chromosomal DNA and other self DNA.

[0003] Abnormal activation of cGAS by self DNA is an important cause of many serious autoimmune diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome (AGS). SLE is a chronic autoimmune disease, accompanied by high concentration of autoantibodies and multiple organ damage, and its pathogenesis is not completely clear. There is no good treatment method. The typical serological feature of SLE is autoantibody against self nucleic acid (especially self dsDNA) and nucleic acid binding protein, which accumulates in tissues, leading to inflammation and production of type I IFN. In recent years, more and more evidence shows that cGAS is related to the pathological process of SLE. The expression of cGAS and cGAMP is up-regulated in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of SLE patients, and the expression level of cGAS and cGAMP is highly related to the activity of disease. About 1~2% of SLE patients have TREX1 (a kind of exonuclease that degrades cytosolic DNA) mutation, and TREX1 deficiency in mice leads to accumulation of cytosolic DNA, spontaneous production of type I interferon dependent autoimmune disease, and defects in cGAS or STING can eliminate all detectable pathological and molecular phenotypes of the defective mice.

[0004] Recent studies have shown that various post-translational modifications, including phosphorylation, glutamylation, ubiquitination, sumoylation (SUMOylation) and acetylation, play an important regulatory function in the function of cGAS. The research on cGAS acetylation started late. Mass spectrometry results show that cGAS has acetylation modification at K7, K50, K384, K392, K394 and K414 sites, among which acetylation at K384, K394 and K414 sites can inhibit the function of cGAS, and after DNA stimulation, cGAS can be deacetylated and activated.

[0005] The nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) dependent Sirtuin (Sirt) family contains seven family members (Sirt1-7), which can perform deacetylation modification on various histones or non-histones to participate in the regulation of important biological processes such as transcription, DNA repair, genome stability, cell metabolism, antioxidant and aging.

[0006] SIRT4-IN-1 is a small molecule inhibitor selectively targeting mitochondrial deacetylase SIRT4, which has high selectivity: no obvious inhibitory activity on other sirtuin family members such as SIRT1 / 2 / 3 / 5 / 6 / 7, is a rare SIRT4 specific tool compound, and the current research on SIRT4-IN-1 mainly focuses on metabolic diseases, liver protection and cancer mechanism research, in order to further expand the application range of SIRT4-IN-1, further research on other pharmaceutical uses of SIRT4-IN-1 is still needed. SUMMARY

[0007] The purpose of the present application is to provide the application of SIRT4-IN-1 in the preparation of drugs for treating autoimmune diseases.

[0008] The present application provides the application of SIRT4-IN-1 in the preparation of drugs for treating autoimmune response reaction abnormal activation diseases.

[0009] SIRT4-IN-1 is a selective Sirtuin 4 (SIRT4) inhibitor, and its chemical formula is C 19 H 13 N5O6S3, and its molecular weight is 503.53 g / mol. The compound has no obvious effect on other sirtuin subtypes such as SIRT1, SIRT2 and SIRT3, and shows high selectivity. It is found for the first time that SIRT4-IN-1 can reduce the activation degree of immune response reaction induced by HSV-1 virus infection by up-regulating the acetylation modification of cGAS, and inhibit Trex1 The abnormal activation of immune response reaction in defective mouse cells and peripheral blood mononuclear cells of systemic lupus erythematosus patients is improved, and the abnormal activation of autoimmune response reaction is improved, which provides a new candidate drug for clinical treatment of abnormal activation of autoimmune response reaction.

[0010] Further, the autoimmune response reaction abnormal activation disease includes systemic lupus erythematosus.

[0011] Further, the drug has SIRT4-IN-1 as the only effective component.

[0012] Further, the drug further comprises pharmaceutically acceptable excipients.

[0013] Further, the excipients comprise any one or more of non-toxic fillers, stabilizers, diluents, adjuvants.

[0014] Further, the diluents are any one of water and normal saline.

[0015] Further, the drug is prepared by mixing SIRT4-IN-1 and excipients as described in claim 1, and the content of SIRT4-IN-1 in the drug is 0.1wt% to 99wt%.

[0016] Further, the solid dosage forms comprise granules, tablets, capsules, pills, dripping pills, and the solution dosage forms comprise oral liquid preparations, intragastric administration preparations, and injection administration preparations.

[0017] Further, the solution dosage forms are solutions of water and SIRT4-IN-1, or solutions of normal saline and SIRT4-IN-1.

[0018] The present application has the following beneficial effects: The present application first finds that SIRT4-IN-1 can weaken the immune response induced by HSV60 in PMA-THP1 cells, and SIRT4-IN-1 can inhibit the abnormal immune activation in Trex1-deficient mice. Animal experiment results show that SIRT4-IN-1 can reduce the activation of the immune response induced by HSV-1 virus infection in mice. From the level of PBMCs of SLE patients, SIRT4-IN-1 significantly inhibits the expression of type I interferon and chronic inflammation-related cytokines and proteins in PBMCs of SLE patients, which provides a new idea for the treatment of SLE disease.

[0041] IV. Experimental Results.

[0042] 1. The SIRT4 inhibitor SIRT4-IN-1 can upregulate the acetylation modification of cGAS. First, the regulation of acetylation modification of exogenously transfected cGAS by the SIRT4 inhibitor SIRT4-IN-1 was examined. For example... Figure 1 As shown in Figure A, HA-tagged cGAS was transfected into HeLa cells, followed by treatment with the SIRT4 inhibitor SIRT4-IN-1 (0, 10, 25 μM). Twenty-four hours after transfection, cells were transfected with HSV60 (1 μg / ml) for 8 hours. A mock cell line contained untransfected cells. Cell lysis was followed by immunoprecipitation and Western blotting analysis. The results showed that, regardless of HSV60 transfection, the SIRT4 inhibitor SIRT4-IN-1 upregulated cGAS acetylation. Figure 1 As shown in Figures B and C, HeLa and PMA-THP1 cells were treated with the SIRT4 inhibitor SIRT4-IN-1 (0, 10, 25 μM) for 12 hours, followed by transfection with HSV60 (1 μg / ml) for 8 hours. Mock cells were untransfected. Cell lysis was followed by immunoprecipitation and Western blotting analysis. The effect of the SIRT4 inhibitor SIRT4-IN-1 on the acetylation modification of endogenous cGAS was examined. It was found that SIRT4-IN-1 upregulated cGAS acetylation modification in both HeLa and PMA-THP1 cells.

[0043] 2. The SIRT4 inhibitor SIRT4-IN-1 can suppress the immune response in PMA-THP1 cells. The immune response induced by viral DNA dependent on cGAS activation was detected. PMA-THP1 cells were treated with SIRT4 inhibitor SIRT4-IN-1 (0, 5, 10, 25 mM) for 12 hours, then transfected with HSV60 (1 pg / ml) for 8 hours, and the Mock was the cells without transfection. Then the cells were lysed for real-time PCR analysis. The experimental results are shown in Figure 2 Fig. 2A and Fig. 2B: The expression of type I interferon and its induced proteins and proinflammatory factors induced by HSV60 were significantly reduced in a dose-dependent manner.

[0044] 3. SIRT4 inhibitor SIRT4-IN-1 can inhibit the immune response in mice Figure 3 In A and B of Fig. 3, 8-week-old wild-type (WT) mice (n=4) were treated with SIRT4 inhibitor SIRT4-IN-1 (0, 10, 25 mg / kg body weight) by gavage, then intranasally inoculated with HSV-1 virus (1 x 10 7 PFU) for 24 hours. The serum was collected and detected by ELISA.

[0045] Figure 3 In C and D of Fig. 3, wild-type (WT) mice (n=4, 8 weeks old) were treated with SIRT4 inhibitor SIRT4-IN-1 (0, 10 mg / kg), then intranasally inoculated with HSV-1 virus (1 x 10 7 PFU) for 24 hours. The bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was collected and detected by ELISA.

[0046] 8-week-old wild-type (WT) mice (n=3) were treated with SIRT4 inhibitor SIRT4-IN-1 (0, 10 mg / kg), then intranasally inoculated with HSV-1 virus (1 x 10 7 PFU) for 24 hours. The tissues of the mice were taken for real-time PCR analysis.

[0047] The experimental results are shown in Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 In mice, the immune response induced by HSV-1 virus infection was significantly inhibited after treatment with SIRT4 inhibitor SIRT4-IN-1, including the expression of IFN-β and IL-6 in serum and lung lavage fluid, and the expression of type I interferon and its induced proteins and proinflammatory factors in liver, spleen and lung tissues.

[0048] 4. SIRT4 inhibitor SIRT4-IN-1 can inhibit the abnormal activation of immune response in PM cells of Trex1 deficient mice The effect of SIRT4 inhibitor SIRT4-IN-1 on spontaneous abnormal autoimmune response in Trex1 deficient mice was detected.

[0049] The preparation method of peritoneal macrophages is as follows: 2.5 ml of 4% mass / volume percentage Brewersthioglycollate (TG) solution is injected into the abdominal cavity of mice, and after 4 days, the mice are sacrificed, the abdominal cavity is exposed under sterile conditions, the peritoneum is kept intact, 5 ml of pre-cooled PBS is injected into the abdominal cavity with a syringe, the needle is not pulled out, the abdominal cavity is gently massaged with fingers, and fresh pre-cooled PBS is repeatedly washed once. Centrifuge at 1000 rpm for about 5 min, remove the supernatant. Count the cells. Poured into a 24-well plate, 1×10 6 cells per well, after 6 hours, the unattached suspended cells were washed away, and the remaining cells were peritoneal macrophages (PM).

[0050] The peritoneal macrophages (Trex - / - ) of wild type (WT) and Trex1 deficient mice were treated with SIRT4 inhibitor SIRT4-IN-1 (25 μM) and DMSO (25 μM) for 12 hours, and the cells were lysed for real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR detection.

[0051] The experimental results are shown in Figure 7 , it is found that SIRT4 inhibitor SIRT4-IN-1 can significantly inhibit the spontaneous abnormal autoimmune response in PM cells of Trex1 deficient mice.

[0052] 5. SIRT4 inhibitor SIRT4-IN-1 can inhibit the abnormal activation of immune response in BMDC cells of Trex1 deficient mice Further confirmation was carried out in myeloid-derived dendritic cells of Trex1 deficient mice, and the preparation method of dendritic cells was as follows: the mice were sacrificed, the femur and tibia were taken out aseptically, the bone marrow cavity was flushed with a syringe, the cell suspension was collected, the cell suspension was treated with red blood cell lysis solution, and after centrifugation, it was resuspended in complete culture medium containing GM-CSF (20 ng / mL), inoculated in a culture dish, and cultured to the 3rd day, half of the medium was replaced, and fresh GM-CSF was supplemented, and the culture was continued to the 8th day, and the semi-suspended and suspended cells were collected by gently blowing.

[0053] Figure 8 In the experiment, wild type (WT) and Trex1 deficient bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (Trex - / -) After 12 hours of treatment with SIRT4 inhibitor SIRT4-IN-1 (0 μM, 25 μM), the cells were lysed for immunoblot analysis.

[0054] Figure 9 In the middle, wild type (WT) and Trex1-deficient bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (Trex - / - ) After 12 hours of treatment with SIRT4 inhibitor SIRT4-IN-1 (25 μM) or DMSO (25 μM), the cells were lysed for real-time quantitative PCR detection.

[0055] The experimental results are shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9 SIRT4 inhibitor SIRT4-IN-1 can significantly inhibit the spontaneous abnormal autoimmune response of Trex1-deficient mouse BMDCs cells.

[0056] 6, SIRT4 expression is elevated in SLE patients To further evaluate the role of SIRT4 in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), the large-scale gene expression dataset GSE No. GSE45291 (containing gene expression characteristics of peripheral blood mononuclear cells of 302 SLE patients and 27 healthy donors) was analyzed in GEO Datasets. The experimental results are shown in Figure 10 The analysis results show that the expression level of SIRT4 in SLE patients is significantly higher than that in healthy controls.

[0057] Subsequently, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from SLE patients. As shown in Figure 11 Compared with healthy individuals (HC), the expression level of SIRT4 in SLE patient PBMCs is significantly higher, which is consistent with the expected result.

[0058] PBMCs were isolated from SLE patient blood samples, and after 12 hours of treatment with SIRT4 inhibitor SIRT4-IN-1 (0 μM, 25 μM), the cells were lysed for real-time quantitative PCR detection. The experimental results are shown in Figure 12 SIRT4-IN-1 treatment can significantly inhibit the expression of type I interferon and chronic inflammation-related cytokines and proteins in SLE patient PBMCs. It is suggested that SIRT4 inhibitors can become a potential treatment strategy for cGAS-related autoimmune diseases.
