Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of polypeptide drugs, in particular to a polypeptide PN-VW22 and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Skin is the largest organ of the human body, which is essential for maintaining the integrity and health of the body. After injury, normal wound healing mainly undergoes four overlapping and orderly stages. Coagulation stage: the skin blood vessels are ruptured with bleeding, platelets adhere to the damaged blood vessels, release TGFβ, platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), etc., activate the coagulation cascade to form fibrin clots, close the wound and prevent infection. Inflammation stage: after the wound is formed, neutrophils are recruited to clear pathogens by the factors released by platelets, secrete inflammatory factors to activate fibroblasts and keratinocytes apoptosis, monocytes migrate and differentiate into macrophages, early strengthen pro-inflammatory signals to remove foreign bodies, and later secrete VEGF, IL-10, etc. to promote repair and inhibit excessive inflammation. Cell proliferation stage: fibroblasts proliferate and differentiate, new blood vessels, granulation tissue and nerves increase, fibroblasts migrate to the wound to form a loose edematous granulation tissue matrix. Tissue remodeling stage: fibroblasts differentiate into myofibroblasts, secrete type I collagen and crosslink to form scars. Wound healing is a complex process involving the coordinated action of many different tissues and cell lineages. Small wounds will heal within a few days, while larger wound injuries or chronic non-healing wounds caused by diseases may take weeks or even months to heal. The long repair time provides an opportunity for pathogens to invade and multiply, leading to infection, secondary diseases, etc., reducing the patient's quality of life and increasing the economic burden. Traditional wound treatment drugs include antibiotics, growth factors, biological dressings, etc., but have limitations such as drug resistance, high cost, poor biocompatibility, etc., and most have a single mechanism of action, which has limited effect on complex wounds such as chronic wounds and diabetic ulcers. Therefore, it is still necessary to develop new repair drugs. SUMMARY

[0034] Example 1 This example provides a solid-phase synthesis method of polypeptide PN-VW22.

[0035] The synthesis was completed by a solid-phase synthesis method. The specific steps are as follows: (1) 0.2 g of resin was weighed into a reaction tube and activated with DMF for 30 minutes; 1 mM of the first amino acid residue, 150 mg of DMAP, and DMF as the solvent were added, and reacted for 3 hours; after the reaction, the mixture was washed with DMF for 3-6 times, and PIP was used to elute the Fmoc protecting group twice. (2) The subsequent amino acids and HBTU were weighed, 0.5 ml of DIEA was added, and reacted for 40 minutes, and then washed with DMF for 3-6 times; the Fmoc protecting group was eluted twice (10 minutes each time), washed with DMF for 4 times, washed with methanol for 2 times, and the above steps were repeated until the last amino acid. (3) The product was cut with a TFA:H2O:EDT=92:6:2 solution for 2 hours, and then filtered; the product was precipitated with ether, centrifuged and washed for 3-5 times to obtain a white solid. (4) The obtained crude product was dissolved in pure water, centrifuged at 10000 rpm for 10 minutes, and then the supernatant was filtered with a 0.22 μm filter. (5) The filtered sample was separated and purified on a semi-preparative reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography column using a C18 reverse-phase chromatography column, the elution peaks were collected and identified by mass spectrometry, and the correct elution peak was transferred to a vacuum freeze dryer for freeze-drying. (6) At room temperature, 50 mL of renaturation solution (0.1 M NaCl, 0.1 M Tris-HCl, 5 mM GSH and 0.5 mM GSSG) was prepared, the pH value was adjusted to 7.5, 5 mg of the sample purified by HPLC was weighed and dissolved in 1 mL of ultrapure water. (7) The prepared renaturation solution was transferred to a 50 mL centrifuge tube wrapped with tin foil, the dissolved sample was slowly dropped into the centrifuge tube, the opening was sealed with sealing film, and the tube was placed in a 4°C refrigerator, 0.5 mL of 50% TFA was added after 24 hours to terminate the reaction. (8) After the termination of the reaction, the renatured polypeptide needs to be further purified by HPLC and detected by mass spectrometry to determine whether the renaturation is successful.

[0036] The polypeptide solid-phase synthesis was used to complete the chemical synthesis and preparation of PN-VW22. The product was purified and identified as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 PN-VW22 was purified by high-performance liquid chromatography, the acetonitrile elution concentration before renaturation was 28%, and the purity was more than 95%. After redox renaturation, the target peak elution time was 13 min, and the acetonitrile concentration was 25%. The mass spectrometry identification result shows that the molecular weight of the renatured PN-VW22 is 2297.4 Da, which is consistent with the theoretical molecular weight 2297.6 Da, indicating that a pair of disulfide bond is formed and the pairing is successful. After freeze-drying, it can be used for subsequent activity identification research.

[0037] Example 2 The embodiment provides a biological synthesis method of a polypeptide PN-VW22.

[0038] Prokaryotic expression of polypeptide PN-VW22.

[0039] The polypeptide PN-VW22 amino sequence was optimized by online codon optimization software (https: / / www.novopro.cn / tools / codon-optimization.html). An enterokinase cleavage site (GACGACGACGACAAG) was added to the front end of the optimized nucleotide sequence encoding PN-VW22 (as shown in SEQ ID NO. 6), a stop codon (TAA) was added to the end, and EcoRI / HindIII enzyme cleavage sites were added to the front and back ends of the above nucleotide sequence. The above sequence was artificially synthesized (completed by Nanjing Kingsrui Biotechnology Co., Ltd.) and constructed into a pET32a vector through EcoRI / HindIII enzyme cleavage sites. The constructed PN-VW22-pET32a plasmid was transformed into BL21 (DE3) E. coli, a single colony was inoculated in LB medium containing ampicillin resistance (ST007, Biyun Tian), 37°C, 220 rpm shaking culture for 6-8 hours, 300 μL was dispensed and sent to GenScript Biotech Corporation for sequencing, and the correct bacterial liquid was used for subsequent prokaryotic expression. The bacteria liquid after resuscitation was inoculated in 1 L of LB medium containing resistance at a ratio of 1:100, and cultured at 37°C, 220 rpm in a shaking incubator. When the OD 600nm value reached 0.6-0.8, 1 mM of IPTG was added to induce polypeptide expression, and the induction was carried out at 28°C, 100 rpm for 12-16 hours. After induction, the bacterial liquid was centrifuged and washed twice with ultrapure water, and then centrifuged to remove the supernatant. The bacterial body was resuspended with PBS until no obvious bacterial body sedimentation, the bacterial liquid was poured into a homogenizer and broken for 3 times in succession, and the bacterial liquid was collected after centrifugation.

[0040] Enzymatic digestion and separation and purification of polypeptide PN-VW22: The pretreated bacterial supernatant sample was loaded into a balanced nickel column, and 10 mM and 30 mM imidazole solutions were used for impurity elution, and 300 mM imidazole solution was used for target protein elution and collection. Enzymatic digestion was performed at a ratio of 0.2 U enterokinase (P4237-1000U, Biyun Tian) per 0.1 mg of Flag fusion protein in a 25 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0) system, and the enzyme digestion conditions were 25°C for 12-14 hours. After breaking the bacterial cells, the supernatant sample, the sample after nickel column purification, and the sample after enzyme digestion were subjected to SDS-PAGE electrophoresis analysis. After the analysis was completed, the polypeptide sample after enzyme digestion was separated and purified by a self-packed C18 reverse column. The specific conditions were as follows: 0.1% TFA in 5% acetonitrile was used to balance the column, the sample after enzyme digestion was loaded into the balanced column, 3 column volumes of 0.1% TFA in 5% acetonitrile were used for desalting and impurity washing, and 2 column volumes of 0.1% TFA in 40% acetonitrile were used to elute the target protein, thereby obtaining the polypeptide PN-VW22.

[0041] Example 3 Cell viability assay of polypeptide PN-VW22.

[0042] Cell culture: The frozen HaCaT cells were taken out from the liquid nitrogen tank and placed in a preheated 37°C constant temperature water bath to quickly melt the cells. After melting, the cells were transferred from the freezing tube to a centrifuge tube and centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 5 minutes. After centrifugation, the supernatant was discarded. The cells were resuspended in DMEM culture medium containing 10% FBS and 1% double antibody, and then transferred to a culture bottle and placed in a cell culture incubator at 37°C, 5% CO2 saturated humidity. When the cell growth confluence reached 80%, the original culture medium was discarded, and the cells were washed twice with room temperature PBS. 0.25% trypsin (1 ml / 25 cm 2 ) was used to cover the cells at the bottom of the cell culture bottle, and the cells were placed in a 37°C incubator for 3-5 minutes. An appropriate amount of serum-containing culture medium was added to terminate trypsin digestion, and centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 5 min. The cells were transferred to a new culture bottle at a ratio of 1:3 and cultured at 37°C, 5% CO2 saturated humidity. After three generations, the cells were plated.

[0043] CCK8 colorimetric method for detecting HaCaT cell proliferation rate: HaCaT cells were cultured in DMEM medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum and 1% double antibody, and the culture conditions were 37°C, 5% CO2, pH 7.2-7.4, and relative humidity 95%-98%. HaCaT cells in the logarithmic growth phase were trypsinized, centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 5 min, resuspended with an appropriate amount of culture medium, and a small amount of suspension was counted. According to the counting result, the cells were diluted to 8x104 CFU / mL. Add 100 μL of cell culture to each well of a 96-well plate. After 4 hours of cell adhesion, observe the cell density under a microscope until it reaches 70%. Then add PN-VW22 and EGF. Set up four groups: blank (culture medium only), normal group (cells + culture medium), control group (cells + culture medium + EGF), and experimental group (cells + culture medium + PN-VW22). Discard the culture medium in each well (except the blank group). Add 100 μL of PN-VW22 diluted with serum-free culture medium to final concentrations of 0.125, 0.25, 0.5, 1, and 2 μM, respectively, to the experimental groups. Add 100 μL of EGF to the control group at a final concentration of 2.5 nM. After incubation for 24 hours, discard the culture medium in each well to avoid interference from the old medium. Prepare a new DMEM culture medium: CCK8 indicator solution at a ratio of 10:1, add 100 μL of the mixture to each well, and continue incubation for 2 hours. Remove the 96-well plate, incubate for 10 minutes, and measure the absorbance at 450 nm using a microplate reader. Calculate the cell proliferation rate: Cell proliferation rate = (Experimental group OD value - Blank group OD value) / (Control group OD value - Blank group OD value) × ... Figure 4 As shown, 100%.

[0044] The cytotoxic effects of PN-VW22 on HaCaT and NIH 3T3 cells were detected using the CCK8 cytotoxicity assay kit. The results showed that, compared with the control group, PN-VW22 at different concentrations had no proliferative activity against NIH 3T3 cells. Figure 3 As shown, PN-VW22 exhibited significant proliferative activity against HaCaT, with cell viability at concentrations of 0.125, 0.25, 0.5, 1, and 2 μM being (126.5±5.173), (139.6±15.21), (164.2±23.58), (162.2±3.051), and (158.9±3.969), respectively. These results indicate that PN-VW22 cell viability significantly increased with increasing concentration, demonstrating a clear concentration-dependent effect.

[0045] Example 4 Scratch repair assay of peptide PN-VW22.

[0046] Scratch assay to detect HaCaT cell migration: Cells were seeded into 12-well plates (5 × 10⁻⁶ cells / well). 5The scratch wound healing assay was performed as follows: 1 mL of DMEM medium was added to each well of a 6-well plate, and 1 mL of DMEM medium containing 1 x 105cells / well was added to each well of a 6-well plate. The cells were incubated in an incubator until they were completely adherent and the monolayer cells covered the well plate. A vertical line was drawn along the center of the well plate using a 100 μL sterile pipette tip, and the cells were washed with PBS three times to remove the detached cells. The cells were divided into the following groups: a normal group (cells + medium), a control group (cells + medium + EGF), and an experimental group (cells + medium + PN-VW22). Each group was diluted with serum-free DMEM medium, and the experimental group was diluted to a final concentration of 0.5, 1, and 2 μM, and the control group was diluted to a final concentration of 2.5 nM EGF. Each well contained 1 mL. Photographs were taken under a 10x optical microscope at 0, 6, 12, and 24 h. The scratch areas at 0, 6, 12, and 24 h were measured using image J software, and the cell migration rate was calculated as follows: cell migration rate = total area of migrated cells in the fixed scratch area / initial scratch area x 100%.

[0047] In this experiment, serum-free short-term culture (within 24 h) was used to reduce the effects of serum on cell proliferation and drug action, while also ensuring cell survival. Figure 3 As can be seen, under the incubation of 0.5 μM PN-VW22 polypeptide, the HaCaT cells did not exhibit obvious migration activity within 0-12 h, but exhibited obvious migration activity at 24 h, and the wound healing rate was 64.44% (***P < 0.001).

[0048] Example 5 Antibacterial activity determination of polypeptide PN-VW22.

[0049] Staphylococcus aureus glycerol bacteria, Escherichia coli glycerol bacteria, and Candida albicans glycerol bacteria were taken out of a -80°C refrigerator and streaked on LB plates, and incubated at 37°C overnight. Single colonies were picked and cultured in LB liquid medium at 220 rpm and 37°C until the logarithmic phase (OD600=0.6-0.8 CFU / mL). The bacterial solution was diluted to 2 x 10 5 CFU / mL, and the following groups were set up: a normal group (bacteria + medium), a control group (bacteria + medium + ampicillin / fluconazole), and an experimental group (bacteria + medium + PN-VW22). 100 μL of bacterial solution was added to each well, and PN-VW22 was added to a final concentration of 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, and 128 μg / mL. The positive control group was added with 100 μL of ampicillin (final concentration 8 μg / mL), and the Candida albicans control group was added with 100 μL of fluconazole (final concentration 0.25 μg / mL). The absorbance at 630 nm was measured after overnight incubation at 37°C.

[0050] In this experiment, the common wound infection bacteria including Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans were determined for antibacterial activity. As shown in Table 2, PN-VW22 had significant antibacterial effect on Staphylococcus aureus at 32 μg / mL. But had no significant antibacterial activity on Escherichia coli and Candida albicans. The antibacterial effect of PN-VW22 provides a good microenvironment for wound repair, which is conducive to wound healing.
