Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of biotechnology, and particularly relates to application of vitamin D in preparation of a protective drug for avoiding ovary damage caused by chemotherapy. BACKGROUND
[0002] Cancer is a recognized global public health problem, and its treatment often adopts chemotherapy. Chemotherapy drugs can be roughly divided into six categories: alkylating agents, antimetabolites, antitumor antibiotics, plant anticancer drugs, hormones and other categories. 1) Alkylating agents such as cyclophosphamide, ifosfamide; ifosfamide belongs to antitumor drugs, which mainly inhibits DNA synthesis to achieve the purpose of anti-tumor. Cyclophosphamide mainly inhibits phosphodiesterase to produce anti-tumor effect. 2) Antimetabolites: this kind of drugs have mutual competition effect on the binding reaction of nucleic acid metabolites and enzymes, such as gemcitabine, methotrexate, pemetrexed, urofϊnate, hydroxyurea, etc. 3) Antibiotics: antibiotics with anti-tumor effect, such as anthracyclines like doxorubicin, dactinomycin like more mycosis, and pingyangmycin like bleomycin. 4) Antitumor plant drugs: vincristine and paclitaxel acting on microtubules and tubulin, interfering with intracellular spindle formation, making cells stay in mitotic metaphase; camptothecin and podophyllotoxin acting on topoisomerase; harringtonine and indigo carmine inhibiting DNA synthesis of tumor cells. 5) Hormones: can change the internal environment, and then affect tumor growth, such as tamoxifen, toremifene, flutamide, letrozole, etc. 6) Other categories: such as platinum like cisplatin, carboplatin and oxaliplatin, etc. Among them, cyclophosphamide is the most widely used alkylating agent, doxorubicin, oxaliplatin and vincristine are commonly used chemotherapy drugs. However, chemotherapy drugs often cause the death of a large number of ovarian follicles in female patients while treating cancer patients.
[0003] Women establish a certain number of primary follicle banks at birth as a reserve of female fertility. Irreversible follicle apoptosis caused by chemotherapy drugs will lead to more than 90% of female patients to have a sharp decline in fertility, premature ovarian failure and infertility. With the younger cancer patients and the rising survival rate, especially young female patients with hematological diseases, they are eager to restore ovarian function and fertility after cure in order to improve their own quality of life, maintain family stability and social harmony. At present, the commonly used method of fertility preservation at home and abroad is to freeze the ovarian tissue or oocyte before chemotherapy, and to restore fertility by transplanting the ovarian tissue in situ after the end of chemotherapy. However, this method needs surgery, and has the risk of low success rate and high cost of tissue preservation.
[0004] Vitamin D (VD) is a steroid hormone that is primarily synthesized in the skin upon ultraviolet irradiation and to a lesser extent from the diet. VD is converted by liver-secreted enzymes to 25-hydroxyvitamin D and then by kidney-secreted enzymes to the active form, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (also known as calcitriol). The important functions of VD are to maintain calcium homeostasis and bone formation, but it also regulates energy metabolism, innate and acquired immunity, and cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis. VD activates the vitamin D receptor (VDR) and tightly binds to retinoic acid receptor (RXR) to form the active signal transduction complex VD-VDR-RXR, which enters the nucleus to regulate the transcription of about 1000 downstream target genes. VD can also act through rapid nongenomic effects; VDR can act on the cell membrane in response to VD. VDR is not only present in calcium-regulating tissues such as the intestine, bone, and parathyroid gland, but also in reproductive-related organs such as the ovary, uterus, and placenta. However, whether vitamin D can protect primordial follicles from chemotherapy drugs remains to be further studied. SUMMARY
[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings and deficiencies existing in the prior art, the primary purpose of the present application is to provide the application of vitamin D in the preparation of a protective drug for avoiding ovarian damage caused by chemotherapy.
[0006] The application of vitamin D in the preparation of a protective drug for avoiding ovarian damage caused by chemotherapy.
[0007] The purpose of the present application is achieved by the following technical solutions:
[0008] The application of vitamin D is any one of the following applications (1) and (2):
[0009] (1) The application of vitamin D in the preparation of a protective drug for avoiding ovarian damage caused by chemotherapy.
[0010] (2) The application of vitamin D in combination with vitamin A in the preparation of a protective drug for avoiding ovarian damage caused by chemotherapy.
[0011] Further, the drug for chemotherapy includes at least one of cyclophosphamide (Cy), doxorubicin (DOX), oxaliplatin (OXA), and vincristine (VIN).
[0012] Further, the ovarian damage includes at least one of DNA damage and primordial follicle apoptosis.
[0013] Further, the vitamin D includes vitamin D and derivatives thereof; and the vitamin A includes vitamin A and derivatives thereof.
[0014] Further, the vitamin D derivative includes calcitriol. Calcitriol is the active form of vitamin D; the vitamin A derivative includes retinoic acid (RA). Retinoic acid is a ligand for retinoic acid receptors (RAR) and retinoid X receptors (RXR).
[0015] Further, the ovary is a mammalian ovary; the mammal includes human and mouse.
[0016] Further, when the mammal is human, the effective dose of the drug is calculated according to the individual body weight, and the dose of calcitriol is 0.1-5000 μg / kg, preferably 2.50-50 μg / kg; the drug is administered once every other day; the dose of retinoic acid is 0.1-2500 mg / kg, preferably 1.50-25 mg / kg; the drug is administered once every other day.
[0017] Further, when the mammal is human, the effective dose of the drug is calculated according to the individual body weight, and the dose of calcitriol is 0.1-5000 μg / kg, preferably 2.50-50 μg / kg; the drug is administered once every other day; the dose of retinoic acid is 0.1-2500 mg / kg, preferably 1.50-25 mg / kg; the drug is administered once every other day.
[0018] Further, the ovary function protecting drug further comprises a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
[0019] Further, the ovary function protecting drug is administered orally or by intramuscular injection.
[0020] The inventor of the present application has found that the chemotherapy drugs cyclophosphamide and doxorubicin can increase DNA damage of oocytes and cause apoptosis of primordial follicles. In the experiment of intraperitoneal injection of calcitriol and retinoic acid in newborn mice, both calcitriol and retinoic acid can partially reverse the DNA damage caused by the chemotherapy drugs cyclophosphamide and doxorubicin, and significantly reduce the number of primordial follicles caused by chemotherapy drugs. This finding expands the application of VD and VA in the female reproductive system, provides a new idea for preventing chemotherapy drugs from damaging the development of ovarian follicles and protecting fertility in vivo, and also has important significance for protecting the quality of life of female patients after chemotherapy.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following advantages and beneficial effects:
[0022] The use of chemotherapy improves the overall survival rate and disease-free survival rate of cancer patients, but chemotherapy drugs can damage the follicle and ovarian blood vessels and interstitium, ultimately leading to loss of ovarian reserve, which seriously damages the ovarian function of women and has a major impact on women with fertility needs. However, the current fertility preservation treatment for female cancer patients will delay cancer treatment or cause further damage to the patient's body. Therefore, it is necessary to find an oral drug to protect the ovarian reserve of young female cancer patients and prevent chemotherapy drugs from damaging ovarian function.
[0023] In the present application, we found that retinoic acid and calcitriol can partially reverse the DNA damage caused by chemotherapy drugs (cyclophosphamide and doxorubicin) and reduce the number of primordial follicle apoptosis caused by chemotherapy. As a necessary nutrient element for the body, VD and VA can be taken orally and have good application prospects. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

As shown in the figure, compared with the control group, the number of surviving primordial follicles in the cyclophosphamide group was significantly reduced (4257±156.95 vs 1092.2±91.80, p<0.001). Compared with the cyclophosphamide group, the number of surviving primordial follicles in the 25 μg / kg and 50 μg / kg calcitriol + cyclophosphamide group was significantly increased (1092.2±91.80 vs 2198±560.79, p<0.01; 1092.2±91.80 vs 2291.2±154.40, p<0.001).

Among them: a is the comparison of ovarian morphology between the control group, the doxorubicin group, and the different concentrations (25 μg / kg, 50 μg / kg) of calcitriol + doxorubicin group. The arrow points to the surviving primordial oocytes; b is the total ovarian follicle count statistics. As shown in the figure, compared with the control group, the number of surviving primordial follicles in the doxorubicin group was significantly reduced (4257±156.95 vs 209.4±65.18, p<0.001). Compared with the doxorubicin group, the number of surviving primordial follicles in the 25 μg / kg and 50 μg / kg calcitriol + doxorubicin group was significantly increased (209.4±65.18 vs 420±46.47, p<0.001; 209.4±65.18 vs 967.4±104.83, p<0.001).

[0114] The above results show that chemotherapy drug treatment leads to a decrease in the number of primordial follicles in the ovary, and that the use of calcitriol and retinoic acid alone can significantly increase the number of surviving primordial follicles after chemotherapy drug treatment, and that the combined use of calcitriol and retinoic acid has a better effect than the use of either drug alone, indicating that both retinoic acid and calcitriol can prevent chemotherapy drugs (including cyclophosphamide and doxorubicin) from causing damage to the ovary and protect the primordial follicles in the ovary of mice.
