AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is about a peptide (amino acid sequence) and its use to inhibit fibrotic diseases, particularly those caused by cancer or anticancer agents. The peptide has been found to have an excellent anti-fibrosis effect without causing any side effects. This makes it useful for preventing and treating fibrotic diseases.

Problems solved by technology

Particularly, fibrosis occurring in the kidney, liver, lung, heart, bone or bone marrow, and skin induces organ failure and leads to death at worst.
Today's most popular anticancer treatments, radiation therapy and chemotherapy are known to considerably attenuate the quality of life of a patient and severely worsen prognosis of the anticancer treatment due to side effects caused by fibrosis and the like.
For instance, in anticancer treatment, fibrosis caused by cancer tissue, an anticancer agent, or radiation exposure interferes with delivery and efficacy of a drug designed to exhibit an anticancer effect when an anticancer agent is delivered to a cancerous region and prevents effective anticancer treatment by blocking transfer of anticancer immune cells to the cancerous region.

of Peptides

1. Synthesis of Peptides

[0075]A peptide of SEQ. ID. NO: 1 (hereinafter, referred to as “PEP1”) was prepared according to conventionally known solid peptide synthesis. Specifically, peptides were synthesized by coupling amino acids one by one from the C-terminus through a Fmoc solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) using ASP48S (Peptron, Inc., Daejeon, Korea). Resins to which the first amino acid at the C-terminus of peptides is attached, which were used herein, are as follows:[0076]NH2-Lys(Boc)-2-chloro-Trityl Resin[0077]NH2-Ala-2-chloro-Trityl Resin[0078]NH2-Arg(Pbf)-2-chloro-Trityl Resin

[0079]In all amino acid components used in the peptide synthesis, the N-terminus was protected by Fmoc, and all residues were protected by Trt, Boc, t-butylester (t-Bu), or 2,2,4,6,7-pentamethyl dihydro-benzofuran-5-sulfonyl (Pbf), which were removed from acids. Such amino acid components are as follows:

[0080]Fmoc-Ala-OH, Fmoc-Arg(Pbf)-OH, Fmoc-Glu(OtBu)-OH, Fmoc-Pro-OH, Fmoc-Leu-OH, Fmoc-...

Inhibition by PEP1 in AsPC1 Cell Xenograft Model

[0092]To verify in vivo anticancer effects of PEP1 and gemcitabine on pancreatic cancer, xenograft experiments were performed using AsPC1 cell lines. A xenografting method used herein is as follows.

Preparation of Reagents and Materials

[0093]Reagents and materials used for the experiment are as follows. After powdery PEP1 was dissolved in 0.2 μm filtered sterile water, aliquots were stored at −70° C. and then dissolved before use, and gemcitabine was dissolved in 100% saline. 5-fluorouracil was dissolved in DMSO.

Preparation of Cell Lines

[0094]AsPC1 cell lines (Cell #6×105 cells / 100 ml), which were cell lines used in the experiment, are human pancreatic cancer metastatic cells purchased from the American Type Cell Culture (ATCC, Rockville, Md.). The cell lines were cultured at 37° C. to give a cell density of 1 to 2×106 / ml in Roswell Park Memorial Institute (RPMI 1640) medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 50 U / ml penicillin, a...

ibitory Effect of PEP1 in HepG2 Cell Lines

[0111]To verify the TGF-β inhibitory effect of PEP1, which is considered as the main cause of fibrosis, an experiment for confirming a TGF-β signaling inhibiting action in HepG2 cell lines was performed as follows.

Preparation of Reagents and Materials

[0112]Reagents and materials used in the experiment are as follows. After powdery PEP1 was dissolved in 0.2 μm filtered sterile water, aliquots were stored at −70° C. and then dissolved before use. As a cell line, HepG2 (ATCC HB-8065; American Type Culture Collection) was used, and recombinant human TGF-β1 was dissolved in 4 mM HCl, thereby preparing a 10 μg / mL stock. SB431542 (Sigma) used as a positive control was prepared in a 10 mM stock.

Preparation of Cell Lines

[0113]2×106HepG2 cells (ATCC HB-8065) were seeded into a 60 mm petri-dish and cultured in a CO2 incubator for 16 hours. Afterward, media were transferred to serum-free media (SFM), and then the cells were further cultured for 24 hours...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a composition for inhibiting fibrosis and more specifically, to a composition for inhibiting fibrosis, wherein the composition is effective in inhibiting fibrosis of tissue cells by containing a peptide derived from telomerase. The peptide according to the present invention exhibits an effect of inhibiting the progression of various kinds of fibrosis, including fibrosis due to occurrence of cancer, fibrosis due to the administration of chemotherapy anticancer drugs, fibrosis due to the exposure to radiation, or progressive fibrosis of tissues, including a TGF-β signaling procedure, and thus can provide a composition for anti-fibrosis or inhibiting fibrosis and a method for treating diseases due to fibrosis.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONTechnical Field[0001]The present invention relates to a peptide having an anti-fibrosis effect and a composition including the same, and more particularly, to an anti-fibrosis composition which includes a telomerase-derived peptide and thus is effective in inhibiting the occurrence of fibrosis of various types of tissue cells.Background Art[0002]Fibrosis is a disease eliciting abnormal formation, accumulation and precipitation of an extracellular matrix, caused by fibroblasts, and refers to abnormal accumulation of a collagen matrix due to injury or inflammation that changes the structures and functions of various types of tissue. Regardless of where fibrosis arises, most aetiology of fibrosis includes excessive accumulation of a collagen matrix substituting normal tissue. Particularly, fibrosis occurring in the kidney, liver, lung, heart, bone or bone marrow, and skin induces organ failure and leads to death at worst. The fibroblast serves to form fibrous...
