Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biopharmaceuticals, and in particular to use of recombinant fibrillin-2 protein in preparing products for preventing or treating fibrillin-2 deficiency eye diseases. Background Art

[0002] Fibrillin-2 (FBN2) gene mutation has been shown to be an important cause of early-onset macular degeneration (EOMD) and age-related macular degeneration (AMD). In 2014, FBN2 gene mutation was found to be autosomal dominant in AMD families. In 2016, AMD patients with FBN2 gene mutation were found to have clinical manifestations of drusen. More and more people are suffering from AMD, and in severe cases, they will lose their vision. FBN2 protein is involved in the formation of microfibrils and is essential for the formation and remodeling of ECM. It is involved in the formation of elastic fibers in connective tissue throughout the body. AMD patients with FBN2 gene mutation have reduced FBN2 protein expression or loss of function in their eyes, which changes its permeability, elastin fiber packaging, and flexibility, which is an important cause of retinopathy. However, the mechanism of action of FBN2 gene defect in the occurrence and development of retinopathy is still unclear.

[0003] Adeno-associated virus (AAV) has the advantages of a wide host range, multiple serotypes, high titer, high safety, high accuracy, stable expression, and low immunogenicity. It has been widely used in basic medical research and clinical trials and is regarded as one of the most promising research gene therapy vectors.

[0004] Protein targeted intervention is widely used in the treatment of ophthalmic diseases, such as antibodies (vascular endothelial growth factor, VEGF), etc., but there are no reports on the research of targeted drugs for FBN2 gene defective retinopathy and myopia.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] Unless otherwise specified, the experimental methods used in the following examples are conventional methods.

[0039] Unless otherwise specified, the materials and reagents used in the following examples can be obtained from commercial sources. The purity of the FBN-2 recombinant protein used in the following examples is > 97%.

[0040] Example 1

[0041] The experiment used 8-week-old C57BL / 6J mice, SPF grade, and body weight of 21-23g. The mice were screened for eye health before enrollment to exclude corneal disease, cataracts, and retinal fundus diseases through scanning laser ophthalmoscope (SLO), optical coherence tomography (OCT), and electroretinogram (ERG).

[0042] Construction of FBN2 adenovirus-related interference vector: First, synthesize single-stranded DNA oligonucleotides, then generate double-stranded DNA oligonucleotides, and then directly connect them to the RNA interference vector after restriction digestion through the restriction sites contained at both ends (BamHI recognition sequence: 5' G^GATCC 3', EcoRI recognition sequence: 5' G^AATTC 3'); the correct clone is successfully constructed. Co-transfect AAV-293 cells, package the virus, collect the stock solution, concentrate and purify to obtain a concentrated solution. Extract the high-purity, endotoxin-free AAV vector, use HG transgene reagent to co-transfect the constructed viral vector and plasmid into AAV-293 cells, add Enhancing buffer 10-12 hours after transfection, and then replace fresh culture medium 8 hours later. After 48 hours of culture medium, the cells and supernatant including the virus are collected after the cells fall off, and then concentrated and purified to obtain AAV virus with a titer of 1.21E+12 VG / mL.

[0043] The amino acid sequence of FBN-2 recombinant protein is: TPGRYECNCPPDFQLNPTGVGCVDNRVGNCYLKFGPRGDGLSCNTEIGVGVSRSSCCCSLGKAWGNPCETCPPVNSTEYYTLCPGGEGFRPNPITIILEDIDECQELPGLCQ GGNCINTFGSFQCECPQGYYLSEDTRICEDIDECFAHPGVCGPGTCYNTLGNYTCICPPEYMQVNGGHNCMDMRKSFCYRSYNGTTCENELPFNVTKRMCCCTYNVGKAWNKPCEPCPTPGTADFKTIC.

[0044] The FBN-2 recombinant protein was efficiently produced by the host-vector system of E. coli. The buffer for diluting the FBN-2 recombinant protein included 20mM Tris, 150mM NaCL, 1mM EDTA, 1mM dithiothreitol DTT, 0.01% sodium lauryl sarcosine, 5% trehalose and proclin 300. The original concentration of the FBN-2 recombinant protein was 200μg / μL.

[0045] Sixty-three 8-week-old C57BL / 6J mice were randomly divided into 7 groups: normal control group, negative control group, AAV group, FBN2 ultra-low concentration group (0.3μg / eye), FBN2 low concentration group (0.75μg / eye), FBN2 medium concentration group (1.5μg / eye), and FBN2 high concentration group (3.0μg / eye) (n=9 / group). The normal control group was fed normally without any treatment; after enrollment, the normal group was fed normally, and the negative control group was injected with 3μL negative virus stock solution (AAV inactivated virus stock solution) into the vitreous cavity of both eyes; the AAV group, FBN2 ultra-low concentration group, FBN2 low concentration group, FBN2 medium concentration group, and FBN2 high concentration group were injected with 3μL AAV virus into the vitreous cavity of both eyes to establish the FBN2 gene defective eye disease model. After 2 weeks, the FBN2 ultra-low concentration group, FBN2 low concentration group, FBN2 medium concentration group, and FBN2 high concentration group were injected into the vitreous cavity of both eyes with a concentration of 0.1μg / μL, 0.25μg / μL, 0.50μg / μL, and 1μg / μL, with a dose of 3μL of FBN2 recombinant protein. The FBN2 ultra-low concentration group, FBN2 low concentration group, FBN2 medium concentration group, and FBN2 high concentration group were injected with 0.3μg / eye, 0.75μg / eye, 1.5μg / eye, and 3μg / eye of FBN2 recombinant protein, respectively, once a week for 3 consecutive times. Among them, the specific operation of the vitreous cavity injection includes: one day in advance, ofloxacin eye drops (3 times / d) were used to reduce eye inflammation in the negative control group, AAV group, and FBN2 injection group. Intraperitoneal injection of 10g•L -1 Sodium pentobarbital solution (50 mg kg -1 ) for anesthesia, ensure normal breathing, and drop mydriatic drugs to dilate the pupil. Place the anesthetized mouse under a microscope, disinfect the area around the eye with povidone-iodine, rinse off the surface povidone-iodine with 0.9% saline 1 minute later, then dry it with a dry sterile cotton swab, and use oxybuprocaine hydrochloride eye drops for ocular surface anesthesia. Clamp the bulbar conjunctiva with microscope toothed forceps, use a microsyringe (10L), insert the needle behind the corneoscleral limbus, clamp the needle hole for 30 seconds, release the forceps and drop the Debisu eye drops, and continue to drop Debisu (3 times) 1 day after surgery.

[0046] SPSS21.0 statistical software was used to analyze the experimental results data, and normal distribution and homogeneity of variance were tested. All experiments involved were multi-group experiments, and variance analysis with independent sample t test was used. Measurement data were expressed as x ± S, and variance analysis was used for differences between groups. Levene's test was used for homogeneity of variance of each indicator in each group. P < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant.

[0047] Example 2

[0048] After each injection of FBN2 recombinant protein, SLO was used to detect fundus changes.

[0049] The specific operation of scanning confocal ophthalmoscopy for SLO examination includes: before the test, intraperitoneal injection of 10g·L -1 Sodium pentobarbital solution (50 mg kg -1 ) for anesthesia, dilate the pupil, and apply ofloxacin eye ointment to the cornea until the mouse is completely anesthetized. Align the mouse's eyes to the scanning laser ophthalmoscope lens, adjust the mouse's position, and take the computer monitor to capture a complete eye map as the standard. Take at least 3 pictures for each group and save the images. All operations are performed by the same researcher. The test results are shown in the figure. Figure 1 shown.

[0050] Depend on Figure 1 The results showed that after the injection of negative virus, the negative control group showed no significant changes in the retinal fundus map compared with the normal control group; after the injection of AAV virus, retinal exudation and yellow-white drusen-like deposits appeared in the AAV group and each FBN2 injection group. After one injection of FBN2 protein, there were no significant changes in the exudation and deposits of the FBN2 ultra-low concentration group, FBN2 low concentration group, FBN2 medium concentration group, and FBN2 high concentration group. After two injections of FBN2 protein, the retinal exudation and deposits in the FBN2 low concentration group were significantly reduced, the exudation and deposits in the FBN2 ultra-low concentration group and the medium concentration group were slightly reduced, and there was no significant change in the FBN2 high concentration group. After three injections of FBN2 protein, the retinal exudation and deposits in the FBN2 low concentration group were significantly reduced, the exudation and deposits in the FBN2 ultra-low concentration group and the medium concentration group were significantly reduced, and the exudation and deposits in the FBN2 high concentration group were slightly reduced and the changes were not obvious.

[0051] Example 3

[0052] After each injection of FBN2 recombinant protein, ERG was used to detect retinal function. The specific operation of ERG included: ERG detection was performed in an absolutely dark environment. Before the test, the mice were placed in a dark environment for more than 8 hours for dark adaptation. Before the test, 10 g•L -1 Sodium pentobarbital solution (50 mg kg -1) for anesthesia, and dilate the pupil. Use oxybuprocaine hydrochloride eye drops for ocular surface anesthesia, and apply ofloxacin eye ointment to the cornea until the mouse is completely anesthetized. Place the animal on the operating table, and use the RETI port system to fix the gold ring corneal electrode (diameter 3.00mm) on the cornea of ​​both eyes of the mouse. Insert the needle-shaped reference electrode into the thick muscles on both sides of the left and right corners of the mouse's mouth, and slowly insert the needle-shaped ground electrode into the subcutaneous muscle of the right upper limb of the mouse. After the ground wire on the detection screen is stable, start recording the EEG Rod-ERG, Max-ERG, Ops total, and after 10 minutes of light adaptation, record the Cone-ERG and Flick-ERG waveforms, as well as the changes in each amplitude. Take 3 values ​​for each waveform and analyze them. The results are shown in the figure. Figure 2 shown.

Put on a corneal contact lens with a diameter of 3mm and a refractive power of -25D for the mouse, align the mouse's eye with the scanning lens, adjust the mouse's position and the lens distance, and take the computer screen to take the accurate position of the tomographic image as the standard. Take at least 3 pictures for each group and save the images, take pictures and analyze the images, and measure the axial length of the eye. The results are as follows Figure 3As shown.

[0080] Example 5

[0081] Six retinal tissues were selected from each group during the experiment. The extraction of total RNA from retinal tissues and the RT-PCR reaction were performed according to the following method.

[0082] 1. Extraction of total RNA

[0083] (1) Tissue grinding: Take out the frozen retinal tissue, transfer it to liquid nitrogen, grind it with a glass rod, add 200μl Trizol and grind it for 2 min. Repeat the grinding. When there is no visible retinal tissue in the EP tube, add 500μl Trizol and mix it by pipetting (Note: the sample volume cannot exceed 10% of the volume of Trizol reagent).

[0084] (2) Separation: Let stand for 5 minutes. After the nucleoprotein complex is completely separated, add 150 μl of chloroform (trichloromethane), shake vigorously several times, let stand for 2-3 minutes (15-30°C), and then centrifuge in a pre-cooled high-speed centrifuge at 4°C for 20 minutes at 14500g. After centrifugation, RNA is present in the upper liquid.

[0085] (3) RNA precipitation: transfer the upper transparent liquid to a 1.5 mL EP tube, add 0.3 mL of isopropanol, mix by pipetting, let stand at room temperature, and then centrifuge in a pre-cooled high-speed centrifuge at 4°C, 14,500 g for 20 min;

[0086] (4) RNA washing: remove the supernatant, add 1 ml of 75% ethanol prepared by 0.25 ml of DEPC water and 0.75 ml of anhydrous ethanol, and centrifuge in a precooled high-speed centrifuge at 4 °C, 14500 g for 20 min;

[0087] (5) RNA re-dissolution: remove the supernatant and centrifuge in a pre-cooled high-speed centrifuge at 14,500 g for 20 min at 4°C. Remove excess liquid with a pipette. After drying for 3 min, add 30 μl of DEPC water to dissolve the RNA precipitate and mix by pipetting.

[0088] (6) The OD260 / OD280 value of the RNA sample is meaningful when it is between 1.8 and 2.0. The RNA purity and concentration are measured using a K5600 ultra-micro spectrophotometer. Take 1 μL of RNA sample and divide it into smaller pieces to reduce the risk of repeated freezing and thawing. Then perform reverse transcription and divide the remaining RNA sample into smaller pieces and store them at -80°C to avoid RNA degradation.

[0089] 2. First-strand cDNA synthesis

[0090] (1) Add 1 μL Random 6mers, 2 μL RNase Free dH2O, dNTP Mixture, 1 μL Oligo dT Primer and 5 μL RNA sample in sequence, mix well and centrifuge;

[0091] (2) Incubate for 5 min in a 65°C metal thermostatic pot;

[0092] (3) Add 1 μL PrimeScript II RTase, 0.5 μL RNase Inhabitor, 4 μL 5× PrimeScript II Buffer, and 4.5 μL RNase Free dH2O in sequence, mix well, and centrifuge;

[0093] (4) Incubate for 10 min (30°C), then transfer to a 42°C water bath for 60 min;

[0094] (5) Place the sample in a 95°C metal thermostat to inactivate the reverse transcriptase (5 min).
