Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the pharmaceutical field, specifically to the use of Tissue inhibitor metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP2) in the preparation of drugs for the prevention or treatment of traumatic brain injury. Background Technology

[0002] Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a disease caused by various traumatic injuries resulting in severe damage to brain tissue. It is one of the most common emergencies in neurosurgery and is currently the leading cause of disability and death among young adults worldwide. TBI leads to neurological dysfunction and a series of clinical symptoms, such as motor disorders, cognitive impairment, and epilepsy, placing a heavy economic and psychological burden on families and society. However, current clinical treatment strategies for TBI are limited, and the FDA has not yet approved any drugs for the treatment of TBI.

[0003] The blood-brain barrier (BBB) ​​is a special barrier existing between the cerebral bloodstream and neural tissue. Its main functions are to maintain brain homeostasis, regulate the balance of substance exchange within the brain, and protect brain tissue from damage. The pathological process of traumatic brain injury (TBI) is divided into primary injury and secondary injury. Primary injury leads to severe damage to brain tissue and dysfunction of the BBB, subsequently allowing a large number of inflammatory factors and immune cells from the peripheral blood to enter the brain tissue, initiating an immune response and causing secondary damage to the central nervous system. Therefore, targeting the BBB and maintaining its integrity is one of the important strategies for TBI treatment.

[0004] The blood-brain barrier (BBB) ​​is a cellular complex composed of brain microvascular endothelial cells, pericytes, and astrocyte foot processes. Brain microvascular endothelial cells are the main component of the BBB, and intercellular junctional proteins, including tight junction proteins and adhesion-associated proteins, form a junctional complex that maintains high transmembrane electrical resistance and low permeability in the paracellular pathway, thus preserving the integrity of the endothelial barrier. The junctional complex consists of zonula occludens protein (ZO), transmembrane proteins Occludin and Claudin, and adhesion connexins. Current findings indicate that altered expression and localization of junctional complex components disrupt the integrity of the BBB in various TBI models. Significant downregulation of Claudin-5 and ZO-1 expression has been observed in both hydraulic shock and controlled cortical impaction injury models. After TBI occurs, various secondary pathological factors can further affect the expression and localization of key components of the blood-brain barrier: (1) Under hypoxic conditions, the expression of bEND.3 and Claudin-5 in mouse brain microvascular endothelial cells is downregulated, transmembrane cell resistance decreases, and cell permeability increases. (2) TBI is usually accompanied by an inflammatory response, in which the inflammatory factor IL-1β can downregulate the expression of Occludin and ZO-1 at cell junctions, which can not only promote neutrophil infiltration, but also cause changes in the cellular localization and reduced expression of tight junction molecules Occludin, ZO-1, Claudin-5, and VE-cadherin.

[0005] Tissue inhibitor metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP2) is a member of the TIMP family and is a secreted protein that inhibits matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Its amino acid sequence is as follows: Figure 1 As shown. Currently, it has been found that in addition to inhibiting MMP2 and MMP14 activity, thereby reducing extracellular matrix degradation, TIMP2 can also exert physiological functions through non-MMP inhibitory activity. TIMP2 activates the AKT pathway after binding to MT1-MMP, inhibiting tumor cell apoptosis; TIMP2 can resist EGF-induced A549 proliferation and decreased cell adhesion by upregulating E-Cadherin; TIMP2 can activate the cAMP / Rap1 / ERK pathway, thereby promoting neuronal differentiation; Ala+TIMP2 without MMP inhibitory activity can inhibit VEGF-A-induced activation of downstream VEGFR2 pathways; TIMP2 can also bind to Integrinα3β1, inhibiting VEGF-induced increased vascular permeability through the Shp-1-cAMP / PKA pathway. However, whether TIMP2 has a protective effect in vascular injury-related neurological diseases, especially in traumatic brain injury, and whether TIMP2 has a regulatory effect on the blood-brain barrier, have not been reported.

[0006] The main objective of this invention is to explore, using a traumatic brain injury model as an example, whether TIMP2, as a secretory protein, can protect against blood-brain barrier dysfunction caused by central nervous system diseases by regulating vascular integrity, thereby providing an effective drug target and treatment strategy for the treatment and intervention of neuropsychiatric diseases related to brain injury and blood-brain barrier damage. Summary of the Invention:

[0007] The technical problem solved by this invention is to provide the application of matrix metalloproteinase endogenous inhibitor-2 in the preparation of drugs for the prevention or treatment of traumatic brain injury.

[0008] To solve the technical problem of this invention, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0009] The first aspect of the present invention is to provide the application of matrix metalloproteinase endogenous inhibitor-2 in the preparation of drugs for the prevention or treatment of traumatic brain injury.

[0010] The amino acid sequence of the matrix metalloproteinase endogenous inhibitor-2 is as shown in SEQ ID NO.1-SEQ ID NO.12.

[0011] The second aspect of the present invention is to provide the application of a nucleic acid molecule encoding an endogenous inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-2 in the preparation of drugs for the prevention or treatment of traumatic brain injury.

[0012] The sequence of the nucleic acid molecule is: the nucleotide sequence described in SEQ ID NO.13-SEQ ID NO.30 in the sequence listing or the complementary nucleotide sequence to the nucleotide sequence described in SEQ ID NO.13-SEQ ID NO.30.

[0013] A third aspect of this invention is the application of an expression vector containing the nucleic acid molecule described in the second aspect in the preparation of drugs for the prevention or treatment of traumatic brain injury. The expression vector includes, but is not limited to, adeno-associated virus vectors, adenovirus vectors, retroviral vectors, exosomes, liposome complexes, cationic polymers, chitosan polymers, and inorganic nanoparticles.

[0014] The fourth aspect of the present invention is to provide the use of a host cell containing the nucleic acid molecule described in the second aspect or the expression vector described in the third aspect in the preparation of a drug for the prevention or treatment of traumatic brain injury.

[0015] The host cell is selected from bacteria, yeast, Aspergillus, plant cells, insect cells, or mammalian cells.

[0016] The traumatic brain injury described in the first to fourth aspects above includes blood-brain barrier dysfunction caused by traumatic brain injury, as well as central nervous system diseases related to blood-brain barrier dysfunction.

[0017] Beneficial technical effects:

[0018] Animal experiments have confirmed that the TIMP2 protein described in this invention can increase the rotarod drop latency in mice with traumatic brain injury; improve the motor balance ability of mice with traumatic brain injury on a balance beam; improve neurological function damage in mice with traumatic brain injury; and reduce Evans blue permeability in brain tissue.

[0019] Cellular experiments have confirmed that the TIMP2 protein described in this invention can alleviate impaired intercellular connections in an in vitro model of traumatic brain injury by binding to the Integrin α3β1 receptor on the cell membrane. Specifically, this is manifested by upregulating tight junction complex expression and reducing luciferase leakage.

[0020] The Ala+TIMP2 protein, which has no MMP inhibitory activity, can maintain the integrity of the vascular endothelial barrier in both in vivo and in vitro models of traumatic brain injury.

[0021] This invention provides the application of the aforementioned TIMP2 protein as an Integrin α3β1 ligand in the preparation of therapeutic drugs for central nervous system diseases caused by blood-brain barrier dysregulation, including but not limited to ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, and Alzheimer's disease. This invention suggests that TIMP2 protein has promising applications in the treatment of blood-brain barrier damage during the acute phase of traumatic brain injury. Attached Figure Description

[0031] Example 1. Protective effect of TIMP-2 protein on mice with traumatic brain injury

[0032] 1. Laboratory animals

[0033] SPF-grade male C57BL / 6J mice, 22-25g, were purchased from Beijing Vital River Laboratory Animal Technology Co., Ltd.

[0034] 2. Creation of a brain injury model

[0035] Mice were anesthetized with isoflurane, and the scalp was incised 0.8 mm posterior to the right coronal suture and 1.3 mm lateral to the midline, with a 3 mm diameter bone hole drilled. Using a modified Feeney free-fall injury device, a 20 g hammer was dropped from 25 cm to impact the striking rod to a depth of 3 mm, and the scalp was sutured. Mice in the sham-operated group underwent scalp incision and drilling followed by scalp closure, without hammer impact.

[0036] 3. Animal grouping and administration:

[0037] Mice were divided into a sham-operated group, a model group, a 100 μg / kg TIMP-2 protein group, and a TIMP2 knockout group. Immediately after surgery, PBS or TIMP2 protein was injected via the tail vein, and the administration was repeated for three consecutive days.

[0038] 4. Behavioral research

[0039] Rotary bar experiment: The mouse was placed on a 3.5 cm diameter rotary bar. The initial speed of the rotary wheel was set to 4 rpm / min. After the mouse was placed on the rotary wheel, the speed was uniformly increased to 35 rpm / min within 180 s. The latency of falling off the rotary wheel was recorded three times. 180 s was the cutoff value. If the speed exceeded 180 s, it was recorded as 180 s. The experiment was repeated three times.

[0040] Balance beam test: The mouse was placed on a wooden balance beam 6 mm wide and 1 m long, with the balance beam suspended 30 cm high. (1) The balance beam score of the mouse was used to evaluate the balance ability of the mouse on the balance beam. 7 points was less than two slips of the left hind limb during the process of the mouse passing through the balance beam; 6 points was less than 50% of the slips of the left hind limb; 5 points was more than 50% but less than 100% of the slips of the left hind limb; 4 points was the complete slip of the left hind limb; 3 points was the left hind limb not on the balance beam at all; 2 points was the mouse could balance on the balance beam but could not pass through the balance beam; 1 point was the mouse could not balance on the balance beam.

[0041] mNSS scoring: The mNSS neurological deficit score was used at three time points: 24h, 48h, and 72h after modeling, with a score ranging from 0 to 18 (0 being normal, and 18 being the maximum neurological deficit). It comprehensively assesses the rat's motor, sensory, reflex, and balance functions. Higher scores indicate more severe impairment. The detection methods and scoring criteria are shown in the table below.

[0042] Mouse neurological function score (mNSS)

[0043]

[0044] 5. Blood-brain barrier permeability measurement

[0045] Mice were injected intravenously with 3 ml / kg of 4% Evans blue solution. Two hours later, they were anesthetized, their hearts were perfused with physiological saline, and their heads were severed. The brain hemispheres were rapidly separated on ice, weighed, and placed in 1 ml of formamide solution. They were incubated at 45°C for 48 hours, and the absorbance was measured using a microplate reader (wavelength 632 nm). The concentration of Evans blue in the solution was calculated using a linear regression equation.

[0046] 6. Data Statistical Analysis

[0047] Data are expressed as mean ± standard error (mean ± SEM). Statistical analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA. "#" indicates a comparison with the sham surgery group. ## P < 0.01; "*" indicates a difference compared to the model group, where ** P<0.01, * P<0.05.

[0048] 7. Results

[0049] The inventors used a rotarod test to assess the motor function of mice with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Mice in the TBI model group showed a significant reduction in rotarod movement time. Treatment with 100 μg / kg TIMP2 protein for three consecutive days significantly improved rotarod movement on the second and third days, indicating that TIMP2 protein treatment can alleviate rotarod motor function impairment in TBI mice. TIMP2 knockout mice showed significantly shorter drop latency on the second and third days compared to the model group, suggesting that TIMP2 knockout further exacerbates rotarod movement impairment in TBI mice. Figure 1 A).

[0050] The inventors used a balance beam test to assess the balance ability of mice with traumatic brain injury, specifically measuring the balance beam score. Mice were treated with 100 μg / kg TIMP2 protein for three consecutive days. The balance beam scores of the TIMP2-treated group were significantly higher than those of the model group for all three days. Figure 1 B). The above results indicate that TIMP2 protein treatment can significantly improve the balance ability of mice with traumatic brain injury.

[0051] The inventors assessed the overall neurological function of traumatic brain injury (TBI) mice using the mNSS (modified neurological deficit score). After three consecutive days of treatment with 100 μg / kg TIMP2 protein, the mNSS scores of the TIMP2-treated mice were significantly lower than those of the model group on all three days, indicating that TIMP2 protein treatment could alleviate neurological function impairment in TBI mice. The mNSS scores of TIMP2 knockout mice were significantly higher than those of the model group on day three, suggesting that TIMP2 knockout further exacerbated neurological function impairment in TBI mice. Figure 1 C).

[0052] The inventors used the Evanslan assay to detect blood-brain barrier permeability in mice. Evanslan levels were significantly increased in the traumatic brain injury model group. Treatment with 100 μg / kg TIMP2 protein for three consecutive days significantly reduced Evanslan levels in the injured brain tissue of mice, while Evanslan levels in the injured brain tissue of TIMP2 knockout mice were significantly increased compared to the model group. These results indicate that TIMP2 protein can significantly alleviate blood-brain barrier damage in traumatic brain injury mice. Figure 2 ).

[0053] Example 2. Protective effect of TIMP2 on blood-brain barrier injury in an isolated brain injury model.

[0054] 1. Ex vivo brain injury model

[0055] An in vitro model of traumatic brain injury was established using a hypoxic chamber: IL-1β was added to HBMEC cell culture medium to a final concentration of 20 ng / ml. Cell culture dishes from each group were placed in a Stemcell hypoxic chamber. A large culture dish containing 10 ml of sterile water was placed at the bottom of the chamber. A mixture of 95% nitrogen and 5% CO2 was continuously introduced into the hypoxic chamber for 10 min to ensure that the cells were completely placed in a hypoxic environment. The chamber was then placed in a 37°C incubator for 24 h.

[0056] 2. Cell permeability experiment

[0057] HBMECs were seeded into 0.4 μm Transwell chambers coated with rat tail collagen I. The chambers were placed in 24-well plates. An isolated brain injury model was established according to the group assignments. After treatment with TIMP2 protein, FITC-Dextran (70 kDa) was added to the upper chamber to a final concentration of 1 mg / ml. Two hours later, the culture medium in the lower chamber was collected, and the leakage of FITC-Dextran was detected using a fluorescent microplate reader.

[0058] 3. Extraction of cell membrane proteins

[0059] Cell membrane proteins were extracted using biotin labeling and NeutrAvidin bead enrichment extraction in in vitro cell experiments.

[0060] Cells were washed three times with DPBS, and 0.2 mg / ml Sulfo-NHS-SS-Biotin was added. The cells were incubated at 4°C in the dark for 30 min. Neutralization buffer (7.5 g glycine / 1000 ml TBS) was added to neutralize any remaining unbound biotin, and the cells were incubated at 4°C in the dark for 10 min. Cells were collected, and 1 ml NP-40 lysis buffer was added. The cells were incubated on ice for 30 min. The supernatant was collected by centrifugation at 13000 rpm, and 20 μl NeutrAvidin beads were added. The cells were incubated overnight at 4°C. The next day, the cells were centrifuged at 4°C at 5000 rpm for 1 min, and the supernatant was discarded. 1 ml lysis buffer was added, and the cells were centrifuged at 4°C at 5000 rpm for 1 min, and the supernatant was discarded. This process was repeated five times. 20 μl 2× loading buffer was added, and the cells were incubated at 99°C for 10 min. The cells were centrifuged at 5000 rpm for 1 min, and the supernatant was collected as membrane proteins.

[0061] 4. Detection of VE-Cadherin phosphorylation

[0062] Scrape cells off with a cell scraper, wash once with pre-chilled PBS, add lysis buffer (50mM Tris-HCl, 150mM NaCl, 1% NP-40, pH 7.5), lyse on ice for 30 min, centrifuge at 13,000 rpm for 20 min at 4°C, and determine protein concentration from the supernatant. The total protein used in each experimental group was controlled between 0.8-1 mg. 20 μl of Dynabeads magnetic beads were also used. TM Add 5 μl of VE-Cadherin antibody to Protein G and incubate in 600 μl of PBS at room temperature for 15 min by rotation. Incubate the antibody-conjugated magnetic beads with the protein lysis buffer of each group overnight at 4°C. The next day, wash the column with 1 ml of cell lysis buffer five times to remove unbound protein. Add 1× loading buffer, heat at 70°C for 10 min, allow the magnetic poles to stand, collect the supernatant, and denature at 99°C for 10 min. Then, analyze VE-Cadherin phosphorylation using Western blotting with p-Tyr antibody.

[0063] 5. Data Statistical Analysis

[0064] Data are expressed as mean ± standard error (mean ± SEM). Statistical analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA. "#" indicates a comparison with the control group. ## P < 0.01; "*" indicates a difference compared to the model group, where ** P<0.01, * P<0.05.

[0065] 6. Results

[0066] In HBMECs under IL-1β+ hypoxic conditions, fluorescein leakage increased, and exogenous addition of TIMP2 protein could reverse the damage in a concentration-dependent manner, indicating that TIMP2 can alleviate endothelial barrier function impairment in isolated brain injury models. Figure 3 A).

[0067] Under IL-1β+ hypoxic conditions, HBMECs showed downregulated expression of tight junction proteins ZO-1, Occludin, and Claudin-5, while VE-Cadherin expression remained largely unchanged, although VE-Cadherin expression on the cell membrane was downregulated. 3 μg / ml of TIMP2 protein reversed the loss of expression in all tight junction protein components and inhibited the translocation of VE-Cadherin from the cell membrane to the cytoplasm. Figure 3 B).

[0068] Under IL-1β+ hypoxic conditions, HBMECs showed a significant increase in VE-Cadherin phosphorylation. Exogenous addition of TIMP2 protein significantly inhibited VE-Cadherin phosphorylation. Figure 4 The suggestion is that the regulatory role of TIMP2 in the post-transcriptional modification of VE-Cadherin may be a mechanism for regulating the cellular localization of VE-Cadherin.

[0069] These results indicate that in an isolated brain injury model, the TIMP2 protein can maintain the integrity of the vascular endothelial barrier by regulating the expression and localization of the connective complex.

Immediately after surgery, mice were injected via tail vein with PBS, TIMP2 protein, or Ala+TIMP2 protein, and the administration was repeated for three consecutive days.

[0084] 7. Results

[0085] The inventors used a rotarod test to assess the motor function of mice with traumatic brain injury. Mice in the traumatic brain injury model group showed a significant reduction in rotarod movement time. Treatment with 100 μg / kg TIMP2 protein or 100 μg / kg Ala+TIMP2 protein for three consecutive days significantly improved the mice's rotarod movement ability on the second and third days, indicating that Ala+TIMP2 protein treatment can alleviate rotarod motor function impairment in mice with traumatic brain injury. Figure 5 A).

[0086] The inventors used a balance beam test to assess the balance ability of mice with traumatic brain injury, specifically measuring their balance beam score. Treatment with 100 μg / kg TIMP2 protein or 100 μg / kg Ala+TIMP2 protein for three consecutive days significantly improved the balance beam score of the model group mice. Figure 5 B). The above results indicate that Ala+TIMP2 protein treatment can significantly improve the balance ability of mice with traumatic brain injury.

[0087] The inventors assessed the overall neurological function of mice with traumatic brain injury using the mNSS neurological deficit score. After three consecutive days of treatment with 100 μg / kg TIMP2 protein or 100 μg / kg Ala+TIMP2 protein, the mNSS scores of both groups were significantly lower than those of the model group, indicating that Ala+TIMP2 protein treatment can alleviate neurological function impairment in mice with traumatic brain injury. Figure 5 C).

[0088] The inventors used the Evanslan assay to detect blood-brain barrier permeability in mice. Evanslan levels were significantly increased in mice with a traumatic brain injury model. Treatment with 100 μg / kg TIMP2 protein or 100 μg / kg Ala+TIMP2 protein for three consecutive days significantly reduced Evanslan levels in the injured brain tissue of mice. These results indicate that Ala+TIMP2 protein can significantly alleviate blood-brain barrier damage in mice with traumatic brain injury. Figure 6 ).

[0089] These results indicate that Ala+TIMP2 without MMP inhibitory activity can alleviate blood-brain barrier damage and improve neurological deficits in traumatic brain injury (TBI) mice. This suggests that the non-MMP inhibitory function of TIMP2 is involved in protecting the integrity of the blood-brain barrier and improving neurological deficits in TBI mice.

[0090] Example 4. Protective effects of TIMP2 and Ala+TIMP2 proteins on blood-brain barrier injury in an isolated brain injury model. 1. Primary mouse microvascular endothelial cell culture.

[0091] The cerebral cortex was separated and cut into 1mm pieces 3 Tissue blocks were digested with type II collagenase and DNase at 37°C with shaking for 2 hours. The phospholipids were removed by centrifugation at 1000g for 20 minutes in 20% BSA-DMEM. The precipitate was then digested with collagenase-dispersant enzyme and DNase at 37°C with shaking for 1 hour, followed by centrifugation at 1000g for 20 minutes to obtain brain microvascular endothelial cells. Primary brain microvascular endothelial cells were obtained by culturing in DMEM / F12 (supplemented with 10% FBS, 1.5 ng / ml bFGF, 100 μg / ml heparin, 5 μg / ml insulin, 5 μg / ml transferrin, 5 ng / ml sodium selenite, and 4 μg / ml puromycin) for 48 hours. After replacing the DMEM / F12 with puromycin-free solution, culturing for another 7 days yielded primary brain microvascular endothelial cells.

[0092] 2. Primary mouse pericyte culture

[0093] The isolation method was the same as for microvascular endothelial cells. After culturing for 48 hours, the cells were replaced with DMEM / F12 containing only 10% FBS and cultured for two weeks.

[0094] 3. Primary mouse astrocyte culture

[0095] Newborn mice were briefly immersed in 75% alcohol for sterilization, then removed and placed in a 10cm culture dish in an ice bath. The cortex was separated, and the vascular membranes attached to the tissue were thoroughly removed. Most of the dissection fluid was aspirated, leaving just enough to cover the tissue. The tissue was minced with ophthalmic scissors, and papain and an appropriate amount of DNase were added. The mixture was incubated at 37°C for 30 minutes, shaking every 5 minutes. An appropriate amount of inoculation medium was added to stop the digestion, and the mixture was then transferred to several Eppendorf tubes and rapidly cooled to 0°C. The tissue clumps were gently pipetted with a blue pipette tip. After every 10 pipette movements, the mixture was allowed to stand at low temperature for 2 minutes. The supernatant was transferred to a new 15ml centrifuge tube. The remaining clumps were replenished with fresh medium and an appropriate amount of DNase and pipetted again. This process was repeated 3 times, discarding any clumps that were not dispersed. The mixture was centrifuged at 1000rpm for 5 minutes, the supernatant was discarded, and an appropriate amount of inoculation medium (10% FBS in DMEM / F12) was added and the mixture was plated.

[0096] 4. Establishment of a primary three-dimensional blood-brain barrier model

[0097] (1) The upper and lower surfaces of the Transwell chamber were coated with 15 μg / ml collagenase and 30 μg / ml fibronectin and incubated overnight at 37°C.

[0098] (2) Invert the Transwell chamber in the center of the dish, add 5000 pericytes per well, and incubate at 37°C for 4 hours.

[0099] (3) Astrocytes were seeded in 24-well plates at 3 x 10^4 per well.

[0100] (4) Place the Transwell chamber upright into the corresponding well of a 24-well plate. Add endothelial cell suspension to the upper chamber at a concentration of 5 x 10^4 cells / well. Both the upper and lower chambers should be cultured with complete endothelial cell culture medium.

[0101] 5. Data Statistical Analysis

[0102] Data are expressed as mean ± standard error (mean ± SEM). Statistical analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA. "#" indicates a comparison with the control group. ## P < 0.01; "*" indicates that compared with the hypoxia + IL-1β injury group, ** P<0.01, * P<0.05.

[0103] 6. Results

[0104] The inventors established an isolated brain injury model in a primary three-dimensional blood-brain barrier using a hypoxic chamber and IL-1β, and assessed barrier integrity using a luciferase leakage assay. The isolated brain injury model resulted in increased paracellular permeability of endothelial cells and increased luciferase leakage. Exogenous administration of 3 μg / ml TIMP2 protein and Ala+TIMP2 protein significantly reduced luciferase leakage, and Ala+TIMP2 protein reduced the increased paracellular permeability in the isolated brain injury model. These results indicate that TIMP2 protein can enhance endothelial barrier integrity through non-MMP inhibitory activity. Figure 7 ).

[0105] Example 5. TIMP2, by binding to the membrane receptor Integrin α3β1, can alleviate impaired intercellular connections in an in vitro model of traumatic brain injury.

[0106] 1. Immunoprecipitation

[0107] HBMEC cells were scraped off with a cell scraper, washed once with pre-chilled PBS, and then lysed with lysis buffer (50mM Tris-HCl, 150mM NaCl, 1% NP-40, pH 7.5). Lysis was performed on ice for 30 min, followed by centrifugation at 13,000 rpm for 20 min at 4°C. The supernatant was collected to determine protein concentration, with the total protein used in each experimental group controlled between 0.8-1 mg. 20 μl of magnetic beads (Dynabeads™ Protein G) were mixed with 5 μl of the corresponding antibody and incubated in 600 μl of PBS at room temperature for 15 min. The antibody-conjugated magnetic beads were incubated with the protein lysis buffer of each group overnight at 4°C. The next day, the column stock was washed with 1 ml of cell lysis buffer five times to remove unbound protein. 1× loading buffer was added, and the column was heated at 70°C for 10 min. After magnetic polarity, the supernatant was collected, heated at 99°C for 10 min for denaturation, and then analyzed by Western blotting.

[0108] 2. siRNA knockdown of Integrinα3 or Integrinβ1

[0109] The siRNA sequences for HBMEC knockdown of Integrinβ1 and Integrinα3 are as follows:

[0110] si ITGB1: 5'-CCGUAGCAAAGGAACAGCA); si ITGA3: 5'-GUGUACAUCUAUCACAGUA).

[0111] Transfection was performed in 12-well plates. 3 μl siRNA was added to 200 μl buffer, vortexed for 10 s, then 4 μl Polyplusinterferin transfection reagent was added, vortexed for 10 s, and then incubated at room temperature for 10 min. Complete culture medium was added dropwise, and the medium was changed after 6 hours for subsequent operations.

[0112] 3. Data Statistical Analysis

[0113] Data are expressed as mean ± standard error (mean ± SEM). Statistical analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA. "#" indicates a comparison with the control group. ## P < 0.01; "*" indicates that compared with the hypoxia + IL-1β injury group, ** P<0.01; ns indicates no statistical difference compared to the model group.

[0114] 4. Results

[0115] TIMP2 can bind to the HBMEC cell membrane complex Integrin α3β1.

[0116] Immunoprecipitation of HBMEC cells with TIMP2 antibody revealed the detection of Integrin α3 and Integrin β1 in the TIMP2 affinity eluate. Immunoprecipitation with either Integrin α3 or Integrin β1 antibody also yielded TIMP2 in the affinity eluate. This indicates that TIMP2 binds to the Integrin α3β1 complex in the HBMEC cell membrane, and that an interaction exists among the three. Figure 8 ).

[0117] TIMP2 regulates the expression of the linker complex and cell permeability through the membrane receptor Integrinα3β1.

[0118] Knockdown of Integrin α3 or Integrin β1, exogenous addition of TIMP2 could not reverse the cell damage caused by hypoxia + IL-1β, including downregulation of tight junction protein expression and increased luciferase permeation. Figure 9 This indicates that TIMP2, as a secreted protein, needs to bind to the membrane receptor Integrin α3β1 to exert its protective effect on the blood-brain barrier. Therefore, TIMP2 protein can be used as an Integrin α3β1 ligand for the preparation of therapeutic drugs for central nervous system diseases caused by blood-brain barrier dysregulation.
