Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biomedical technology, specifically relating to the use of reagents that overexpress Parp7 in the preparation of drugs for treating hypertensive nephropathy and protecting against acute kidney injury in sepsis. Background Technology

[0002] Hypertensive nephropathy is one of the most common target organ damages caused by hypertension. Poor long-term blood pressure control can lead to progressive tubulointerstitial fibrosis, glomerular sclerosis, and renal failure. Its pathogenesis involves multiple pathophysiological processes, including hemodynamic changes, activation of the renin-angiotensin system, inflammatory responses, and oxidative stress. Currently, clinical treatment for hypertensive nephropathy mainly relies on antihypertensive drugs (such as angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor antagonists) to control blood pressure and slow disease progression. However, there is still a risk that some patients do not respond well to these drugs and that the disease continues to progress to end-stage renal disease. Therefore, developing novel treatment strategies that can target key pathological processes in the kidneys and provide more direct renal protection is of significant clinical importance.

[0003] Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulation of the host response to infection, and acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most common and serious complications of sepsis. The pathological mechanisms of AKI in sepsis are complex, involving uncontrolled systemic inflammatory responses, microcirculatory disturbances, mitochondrial dysfunction, and programmed cell death. Despite advances in supportive care, the morbidity and mortality rates of AKI remain high, and there are currently no specific and effective treatments available clinically. Intervention targeting its core inflammatory pathways or key regulatory molecules represents a highly promising research direction.

[0004] Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 7 (Parp7, also known as Tiparp), a member of the PARP family, is believed to play a role in DNA damage repair, transcriptional regulation, and inflammatory responses. Existing research suggests that Parp7 may act as a negative regulator of inflammation and stress responses. For example, existing technology (CA3211149A1) discloses that Parp7 inhibitors can be used to treat sepsis, suggesting that inhibiting Parp7 activity may exacerbate inflammatory responses. However, the specific role of Parp7 in stress-induced injury in specific organs (such as the kidneys), particularly its function in proximal tubular epithelial cells—a key kidney cell type—remains unclear. Furthermore, no studies have revealed a specific relationship between Parp7 activity (e.g., overexpression) and two different etiologies of kidney injury: hypertensive nephropathy and septic acute kidney injury, nor are there any technological indications suggesting the treatment or protection against these diseases by targeting and upregulating Parp7 expression in renal tubular epithelial cells.

[0005] In conclusion, developing novel therapeutic drugs based on kidney cell-specific targets for hypertensive nephropathy and septic acute kidney injury, two common clinical diseases with urgent treatment needs, has significant theoretical value and promising prospects for clinical translation. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide the use of agents overexpressing Parp7 in the preparation of medicaments for treating hypertensive nephropathy and protecting against acute kidney injury in sepsis.

[0007] This invention provides the use of agents that overexpress Parp7 in the preparation of medicaments for treating hypertensive nephropathy and protecting against acute kidney injury caused by sepsis.

[0008] Furthermore, the reagent for overexpressing Parp7 is an adeno-associated virus vector that overexpresses Parp7.

[0009] Furthermore, the adeno-associated virus vector is an AAV9 serotype vector.

[0010] Furthermore, the reagent for overexpressing Parp7 comprises a renal proximal tubular epithelial cell-specific promoter and a nucleotide sequence encoding the Parp7 protein.

[0011] Furthermore, the specific promoter for the proximal tubular epithelial cells of the kidney is the sglt2 gene promoter.

[0012] Furthermore, the nucleotide sequence encoding the Parp7 protein is shown in SEQ ID NO:1.

[0013] Furthermore, the hypertensive nephropathy is renal impairment, glomerular sclerosis, and renal interstitial fibrosis caused by angiotensin II-induced hypertension.

[0014] Furthermore, the septic acute kidney injury refers to acute renal dysfunction, renal tubular damage, and inflammatory response caused by lipopolysaccharide-induced sepsis.

[0015] The present invention also provides an AAV9-sglt2-Parp7 adeno-associated virus vector, wherein the vector comprises an sglt2 gene promoter and a nucleotide sequence encoding the Parp7 protein; the nucleotide sequence encoding the Parp7 protein is shown in SEQ ID NO:1.

[0016] The present invention also provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising the above-described AAV9-sglt2-Parp7 adeno-associated virus vector as an active ingredient, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient.

[0017] The present invention has achieved the following beneficial effects: This invention discovers that targeted upregulation of Parp7 expression in proximal renal tubular epithelial cells can effectively alleviate hypertensive nephropathy and septic acute kidney injury, providing a novel and clear intervention target and pathway for the treatment of these two diseases. By employing a proximal renal tubular epithelial cell-specific promoter (such as the Sglt2 promoter) to drive gene expression, this invention can precisely limit the therapeutic effect to key diseased cells in the kidney, improving local efficacy while potentially significantly reducing systemic side effects and demonstrating good safety potential. Animal experiments show that proximal renal tubule-specific overexpression of Parp7 can significantly improve renal function indicators in two kidney injury models (septic AKI and hypertensive nephropathy), alleviate characteristic pathological damage (such as renal tubular injury and fibrosis), and inhibit local renal inflammatory responses, confirming the effectiveness of this treatment strategy from both functional and structural perspectives. The gene therapy vector (such as AAV9) used in this invention is mature and has high safety. The constructed modular design of "tissue-specific promoter + therapeutic gene" is clear, providing a direct and feasible technical solution for developing novel gene therapy drugs or targeted delivery systems for kidney diseases, and has clear clinical translational value.

[0018] Obviously, based on the above description of the present invention, and according to common technical knowledge and conventional methods in the field, various other modifications, substitutions or alterations can be made without departing from the basic technical concept of the present invention.

[0019] The following detailed embodiments further illustrate the above-described content of the present invention. However, this should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention to the following embodiments.

[0045] Example 2, AAV9 -sglt2-parp7 Protective effect in acute kidney injury and hypertensive nephropathy caused by sepsis I. Experimental Methods 1. Animal experiments Recombinant adeno-associated virus type 9 (AAV9) carrying Parp7 (NM_178892.5) or empty vector (EV) cDNA and driven by the renal proximal tubular epithelial cell-specific promoter Sglt2 was injected into mice via tail vein. The total viral dose was 2 × 10⁻⁶. 11 Viral genome. Four weeks after AAV9 injection, an acute kidney injury model was established by intraperitoneal injection of LPS (10 mg / kg, acting for 6 hours), or a hypertensive nephropathy model was established by continuous administration of angiotensin II (Ang II, 1000 ng / kg / min, for 4 weeks) via subcutaneous implantation of a micro-osmotic pump. Subsequently, mice were euthanized under sodium pentobarbital anesthesia, and blood and kidney tissue were collected and preserved for subsequent analysis.

[0046] 2. Serum biochemical analysis Serum BUN and Cr levels were determined using a blood urea nitrogen kit (BUN, C013-2-1) and a creatinine kit (Cr, C011-2-1) manufactured by Nanjing Jiancheng Bioengineering Institute. All procedures were strictly performed according to the kit instructions. Data were analyzed spectrophotometrically using a Multiskan GO microplate reader from Thermo Fisher Scientific.

[0047] 3. Kidney histology and immunohistochemistry Kidney tissue was fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde, embedded in paraffin, and prepared into sections of a certain thickness for histological staining and analysis. Hematoxylin-eosin (H&E, G1120, Solarbio), glycogen staining (PAS, C0142S, Beyotime), Masson's trichrome staining (Masson, G1340, Solarbio), and Sirius Red staining (Sirius Red, G1472, Solarbio) were used to stain kidney sections to assess the degree of histopathological damage and fibrosis. All staining procedures were strictly performed according to the reagent instructions. Images of stained sections were acquired under an optical microscope (ZEISS), and quantitative analysis was performed using ImageJ software.

[0048] To analyze the distribution of inflammatory cells and PARP7 expression, immunohistochemical staining was performed to detect F4 / 80, CD11b, and PARP7. Tissue sections were incubated overnight at 4°C with anti-PARP7 antibody (ab200390, Abcam, 1:200), anti-F4 / 80 antibody (70076, CST, 1:200), and anti-CD11b antibody (ab133357, Abcam, 1:200), respectively. After washing with PBS, immunoreactivity was detected using HRP-labeled secondary antibody and diaminobenzidine (DAB, DA1010, Solarbio), followed by hematoxylin counterstaining. All images were captured and recorded under a light microscope (ZEISS).

[0049] 4. RNA extraction and real-time quantitative PCR Total RNA was extracted from kidney tissue using a rapid RNA purification kit (RN001, ES Science), strictly following the kit's instructions. Subsequently, the purified RNA was reverse transcribed into cDNA using Prime Script RT Master Mix (RR036A, Takara). SYBR Green was used in a real-time quantitative PCR system. TM Quantitative PCR was performed using Premix Ex Taq™ II (RR820A, Takara). Primers used in the experiment (including...)

The mRNA expression level of the target gene was normalized using β-actin as an internal reference, and 2... -△△CT The relative expression level is calculated using this method.

[0050] Table 1 Primers for RT-qPCR 5. Western blotting Proteins were extracted from kidney tissue and lysed using RIPA lysis buffer (AR0101, Boster). Protein concentration was determined using a BCA protein assay kit (P0009, Beyotime). Equal volumes of protein were separated by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis and transferred to a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane (Millipore). Non-specific binding sites on the membrane were blocked with BSA for 2 hours, followed by overnight incubation with primary antibody at 4°C. The membrane was then incubated with HRP-labeled secondary antibody at room temperature for 2 hours. Protein bands were visualized using an ECL luminescent reagent (WBKLS0500, Merck Millipore), and protein band quantification was performed using ImageJ software.

[0051] 6. Statistical Analysis All experiments were randomized and blinded. Data from in vitro and in vivo experiments are expressed as mean ± standard error of mean (SEM). Student's t-test was used to compare two groups. One-way ANOVA with multiple comparisons was used to compare multiple groups (GraphPad Prism 10.0). In this study, a p-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant.

AAV9 -sglt2-parp7 Alleviating LPS-induced acute renal dysfunction, inflammation, and histopathological damage To investigate the specific function of PARP7 in renal proximal tubular epithelial cells, this invention uses the PARP7-based formulation constructed in Example 1. Sglt2 AAV9 starter driver -sglt2-parp7 The carrier, administered via tail vein injection, is introduced into the proximal tubular epithelial cells of the kidney. Parp7 Targeted overexpression of genes ( Figure 3 A). Empty vector (EV) was injected as a control. Four weeks later, a mouse model of acute kidney injury due to sepsis was established by intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Experimental results showed that AAV9... -sglt2-parp7 In treated mice, LPS-induced kidney injury was significantly reduced, as evidenced by decreased serum blood urea nitrogen (BUN). Figure 3 B) and creatinine (CRE) Figure 3 C) levels decreased. H&E ( Figure 3 D) and PAS ( Figure 3 E) Staining showed that LPS-induced renal tubular damage, including luminal dilation, epithelial cell flattening, and brush border loss, was observed in AAV9. -sglt2-parp7The inflammation was significantly reduced in the treated mice. Subsequently, immunohistochemical analysis of kidney tissue sections was performed to assess inflammatory cell infiltration. The results showed that overexpression of PARP7 in proximal tubular epithelial cells significantly reduced lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced F4 / 80 inflammatory responses. + and CD11b + Macrophage infiltration ( Figure 3 FI). Furthermore, real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) analysis showed that in AAV9... -sglt2-parp7 In treated mice, LPS-induced upregulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines ( Figure 3 JM was relieved. In summary, these findings suggest that specific overexpression of PARP7 in proximal renal tubular epithelial cells can protect the body from LPS-induced acute renal dysfunction, inflammation, and histopathological damage.

[0053] 2. AAV9 -sglt2-parp7 Relieving AngII-induced hypertensive nephropathy For further evaluation PARP7 The role of this invention in a chronic kidney disease model was validated in a hypertensive nephropathy model. Figure 4 A). Also using AAV9 -sglt2-parp7 The vector achieved specific overexpression of angiotensin II (Ang II) in the proximal tubules of the kidney. Four weeks after tail vein injection, a mouse model of hypertensive nephropathy was established by continuous administration of angiotensin II via a subcutaneously implanted micro-osmotic pump. The results showed that specific overexpression of PARP7 in proximal tubule cells significantly reversed the Ang II-induced increases in serum creatinine (Cr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and KMI-1 protein levels. Figure 4 BD). Similarly, PAS staining showed that, compared with EV+Ang II mice, AAV9 -sglt2-parp7 +Ang II mice showed reduced mesangial expansion ( Figure 4 E). Furthermore, Masson and Sirius red staining results showed that proximal tubular cell-specific overexpression of PARP7 had a protective effect against hypertension-induced renal fibrosis. Figure 4 FG). Furthermore, proximal tubule cell-specific overexpression of PARP7 significantly reduced angiotensin II-induced renal inflammation, which from... Ifnb1 , Tnfa , Il6 and Il1b This was confirmed at the mRNA level ( Figure 4 HK).

[0054] In summary, the results of this experiment demonstrate that, through AAV9 -sglt2-parp7The vector enables specific overexpression of PARP7 in proximal tubular epithelial cells of the kidney, which can effectively alleviate Ang II-induced hypertensive nephropathy, improve renal function, reduce glomerular sclerosis and renal interstitial fibrosis, and inhibit local inflammatory response in the kidney.
