Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of biomedicine, and in particular relates to a medicine for treating inflammatory bowel disease. Background Art
[0002] Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a common autoimmune disease of the digestive tract, including ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD). Th17 cells are CD4 + Under the combined action of IL-6 and TGF-β1, T cells are induced to differentiate into a group of effector T cells characterized by the secretion of high levels of cytokines such as IL-17A, IL-17F, IL-21, and IL-22. They are widely involved in the occurrence and development of diseases such as infection, tumors, and autoimmune diseases. Analysis of the composition of infiltrating cells in the intestinal tissue of IBD patients and research data from IBD mice have confirmed that effector Th17 cells play an important role in intestinal mucosal inflammation (Jun-Bin Yan, Min-Min Luo, Zhi-Yun Chen, Bei-Hui He. The Function and Role of the Th 1 7 / Treg Cell Balance in Inflammatory Bowel Disease. J Immunol Res 2020, 2020: 8813558.). IL-17A recruits neutrophils to the inflamed area and induces macrophages to release inflammatory factors, further exacerbating local inflammation (Veldhoen M. Interleukin 17 is a chief orchestrator of immunity. Nature immunology 2017, 18(6): 612-621.). The mammalian intestine is inhabited by microbiota, and the interaction between these microbiota and immune cells is crucial for maintaining intestinal immune homeostasis. Intestinal microbiota can promote Th17 cell differentiation and Th17 cytokine expression.
[0003] Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are small vesicles with a lipid bilayer structure secreted by living cells. They can be divided into four subgroups: exosomes, extranuclear particles, apoptotic bodies, and oncosomes. As natural endogenous drug carriers, they have unique advantages: their nanometer-scale diameter allows them to penetrate multiple barriers, including the blood-brain barrier; their complex protein and phospholipid bilayer structure effectively protects drugs from clearance by the body; and their low immunogenicity means they can be used as carriers to deliver drugs or therapeutic proteins without eliciting an immune response in the host. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This study found that intestinal flora promotes the in vitro differentiation of Th17 cells through the Trim21 / FBXW7 signaling axis. This study constructed a Trim21 domain (TΔR) lacking ubiquitination function. TΔR can effectively antagonize the binding of Trim21 and FBXW7, thereby inhibiting Th17 cell differentiation.
[0005] The present invention first provides the use of extracellular vesicles loaded with targeted drugs and Trim21 protein domains in the preparation of drugs for treating inflammatory bowel disease.
[0006] The targeted drug is capable of targeting the extracellular vesicles to CD4 + T cell targeted drugs,
[0007] The Trim21 protein domain is a Trim21 protein domain lacking ubiquitination function.
[0008] Preferably, the targeted drug is CD4-scFV, and the amino acid sequence is shown in SEQ ID No. 1;
[0009] The amino acid sequence of the Trim21 protein domain lacking ubiquitination function is shown in SEQ ID No. 2.
[0010] Preferably, the targeted drug and the Trim21 protein domain are both connected to a GPI anchor sequence, and the amino acid sequence of the GPI anchor sequence is shown in SEQ ID No.3.
[0011] The extracellular vesicles are exosomes, apoptotic bodies, oncosomes or extranuclear particles;
[0012] The extracellular vesicles used to load drugs are derived from milk, blood, saliva, urine or cerebrospinal fluid of humans or other mammals.
[0013] Preferably, the targeted drug and Trim21 protein domain are saturated loaded into the extracellular vesicles, that is, during loading, the targeted drug and Trim21 protein domain are added in excess relative to the extracellular vesicles, and after loading, the excess unloaded targeted drug and Trim21 protein domain are separated out.
[0014] The present invention also provides a drug for treating inflammatory bowel disease, which is an extracellular vesicle loaded with a targeted drug and a Trim21 protein domain.
[0015] The targeted drug is capable of targeting the extracellular vesicles to CD4 + T cell targeted drugs,
[0016] The Trim21 protein domain is a Trim21 protein domain lacking ubiquitination function.
[0017] Preferably, the targeted drug is CD4-scFV, and the amino acid sequence is shown in SEQ ID No. 1;
[0018] The amino acid sequence of the Trim21 protein domain lacking ubiquitination function is shown in SEQ ID No. 2.
[0019] Preferably, the targeted drug and the Trim21 protein domain are both connected to a GPI anchor sequence, and the amino acid sequence of the GPI anchor sequence is shown in SEQ ID No.3.
[0020] The extracellular vesicles are exosomes, apoptotic bodies, oncosomes or extranuclear particles;
[0021] The extracellular vesicles used to load drugs are derived from milk, blood, saliva, urine or cerebrospinal fluid of humans or other mammals.
[0022] Preferably, the targeted drug and Trim21 protein domain are saturated loaded into the extracellular vesicles, that is, during loading, the targeted drug and Trim21 protein domain are added in excess relative to the extracellular vesicles, and after loading, the excess unloaded targeted drug and Trim21 protein domain are separated out.
[0023] Exosomes are small vesicles with a lipid bilayer structure, ranging in diameter from 30 to 150 nanometers, secreted by various living cells. Exosomes have become a promising drug delivery vehicle, garnering widespread attention from researchers due to their reduced immunogenicity, enhanced biocompatibility, increased engineering potential, and their ability to easily penetrate the blood-brain barrier and escape lysosomal degradation.
[0024] This application targets extracellular vesicles to CD4 +The T cell targeted drug and the Trim21 protein domain lacking ubiquitination function are loaded into extracellular vesicles, and the targeted drug transports the entire drug-loaded extracellular vesicle to CD4 + T cells then compete with the intracellular host Trim21 for binding to FBXW7 through the Trim21 protein domain that lacks ubiquitination function, thereby antagonizing the effect of intestinal flora in promoting Th17 cell differentiation, thereby achieving the purpose of treating inflammatory bowel disease.

[0080] The small intestine of each group of mice was isolated, and the intestinal Pan's lymph nodes (Payers' Patches) and connective tissue were removed. The intestine was cut longitudinally, and the intestinal contents were cleaned. The small intestine was cut into 0.5-1.0 cm segments and placed in Buffer A (DMEM + 5 mM EDTA + 0.145 mg / ml DTT + 4% FCS + 0.2% HEPES) (repeatedly pipetted for 10 minutes, and the intestinal segments were collected), Buffer B (DMEM + 2 mM EDTA + 4% FCS + 0.2% HEPES) (repeatedly pipetted for 5 minutes, and the intestinal segments were collected), and Buffer C (DMEM + 50 mg / ml DNase I + 75 mg / ml collagenase II + 8% FCS) (repeatedly pipetted for 5 minutes, and the filtrate was collected).

The immunoprecipitation method is briefly described as follows:
[0084] The two groups of intestinal lamina propria lymphocytes CD4 +T cells were lysed on ice for 30 minutes using Western and IP lysis buffer (P0013, Beyotime Biotechnology). The supernatant was collected after centrifugation at 12,000 rpm for 10 minutes at 4°C. One-tenth to one-fifth of the total lysate was used for protein input (i.e., lysate) detection. Antibody FBXW7 (40-1500, ThermoFisher) was added to the remaining lysate and incubated overnight at 4°C on a rotary shaker. The next day, Protein A / G plus Agarose (sc-2003, Santa Cruz Biotechnology) was added and incubated at 4°C on a rotary shaker for 4 hours. After centrifugation at 1,000 rpm at 4°C for 30 seconds, the supernatant was discarded and the Protein A / G plus Agarose was collected. The Protein A / G plus Agarose was then washed three times with IP lysis buffer, each time for 10 minutes at 4°C on a rotary shaker. The washed Protein A / G was then added with 2× SDS protein loading buffer and boiled in a boiling water bath for 5 minutes to prepare a protein sample. The prepared sample was run and exposed according to Example 3.
[0085] The results showed that compared with the IBD mice in the mEVs / αCD4 group, the IBD mice in the mEVs / αCD4 / TΔR group had a significantly higher intestinal CD4 + In T cells, exogenous TΔR-flag binds more to FBXW7, while endogenous Trim21 binds weakly to FBXW7, indicating that exogenous TΔR-flag competes with endogenous Trim21 for binding to FBXW7 ( Figure 8 ).
