Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine, in particular to a traditional Chinese medicine composition and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Uric acid nephropathy is also called gout nephropathy. Epidemiological results show that in recent years, with the change of the diet structure of the public, the intake of high purine diet is increasing, the prevalence of hyperuricemia is increasing year by year, and the prevalence of gout and uric acid nephropathy is also increasing, which has become a common and frequently-occurring disease in clinic. Gout and uric acid nephropathy are closely related. Literature reports that more than 40% of long-term gout patients can develop into chronic kidney disease, that is, gout patients are often accompanied by uric acid nephropathy, and one of the typical clinical symptoms of uric acid nephropathy patients is gout. Studies have shown that in the autopsy results of gout patients, 79% to 99% of gout patients have uric acid nephropathy. In the process of uric acid-induced kidney disease, the two often cause each other and form a vicious cycle.

[0003] From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, according to its clinical characteristics, uric acid nephropathy can be classified into the category of "gout" in traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that uric acid nephropathy is mainly caused by deficiency of the spleen and kidney, combined with overeating of rich food, emotional disorder, overwork, and the invasion of external pathogens, and the disease is caused by internal and external factors; the movement of qi, blood and water is obstructed, phlegm and dampness are generated internally, and stasis is caused after a long time, which causes waist pain, joint pain and arthralgia; the spleen and kidney are weak, and the water and liquid metabolism is disordered, which causes edema; phlegm turbidity, dampness and blood stasis are caused by heat, which damages the kidney collaterals and causes blood to flow, which is blood stone; the pathogenic factor penetrates deep into the body, and the urine impurities are combined into sand and stone, which is stone; if it enters the viscera, it will "exhaust the kidney", and the storage function will be lost. Deficiency of the spleen and kidney is the root, and phlegm, dampness and stasis are the branches. The root and branches are both deficiency and excess, and the disease is characterized by deficiency and excess. It can be seen that "phlegm-dampness-stasis" plays an important role in the pathogenesis of uric acid nephropathy and is the main syndrome type of uric acid nephropathy. Strengthening the prevention and treatment of uric acid nephropathy can effectively inhibit uric acid-induced kidney damage, which embodies the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine in treating the whole body and preventing the disease.

[0004] From the perspective of Western medicine, uric acid nephropathy is caused by excessive uric acid production or uric acid excretion disorder, which leads to purine metabolism disorder, resulting in elevated blood uric acid, and then causing uric acid and its crystals to deposit in the kidney, leading to kidney damage. Therefore, the current clinical treatment method is mainly to reduce uric acid, and modern medicine prefers allopurinol and febuxostat to inhibit uric acid production, or chooses benzobromarone to promote uric acid excretion, in order to reduce the level of blood uric acid. The above three drugs are currently the first-line drugs for reducing uric acid in clinical treatment of gout and uric acid nephropathy, but in recent years, numerous studies have confirmed that these three drugs have different side effects.

[0005] Allopurinol is mainly metabolized by the kidney, and part of the patients with gout and uric acid nephropathy have impaired renal function, long-term use will increase the burden of the kidney, in addition, allopurinol can also cause hypersensitivity, drug eruption and other adverse reactions; long-term use of febuxostat will increase the risk of cardiovascular adverse events; benzbromarone reduces serum uric acid by inhibiting the reabsorption of uric acid in the proximal tubule and increasing the excretion of urate, but this kind of drug has the risk of increasing the incidence of urinary stones, and with the decrease of glomerular filtration rate, the excretion of uric acid also decreases, in addition, benzbromarone also has hepatotoxicity and cannot be used for a long time. SUMMARY

[0006] The purpose of the present application is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, provide a traditional Chinese medicine composition and its preparation method and application, which can effectively treat gout and uric acid nephropathy.

[0060] S2: Construction of HK-2 cell line model overexpressing Keap1

[0061] a. Plasmid extraction: After 24 hours of competent bacteria preparation, plasmid transformation was performed according to the standard procedure. When the bacterial solution was appropriately turbid, plasmid extraction was prepared. According to the instructions of the plasmid extraction kit (Tiangen, China), 4 ml of Buffer P1 was added to the bacterial microspheres to completely resuspend them. Then, 4 ml of Buffer P2 was added, mixed gently, and incubated at room temperature for 5 min. 4 ml of pre-cooled Buffer P3 was added immediately, mixed, and placed on ice for 20 min. Then, centrifugation was performed at 4°C and 12000 rpm for 30 min. The supernatant was transferred to another centrifuge tube and centrifuged again. The QIAGEN-tip100 was balanced with 4 ml of buffer QBT, and the supernatant after the second centrifugation was transferred to the QIAGEN-tip100 column, allowing the liquid to flow out naturally. The chromatographic column was washed twice with 10 ml of Buffer QC, and then 5 ml of Buffer QF was added to elute the plasmid. 3.5 ml of isopropanol was added and mixed evenly, and then centrifugation was performed at 4°C and 11000 rpm for 30 min. The supernatant was discarded, and the resulting precipitate was washed once with 5 ml of 70% ethanol. After air-drying for 5-10 min, 100 μl of TE was added for dissolution. The plasmid concentration was determined using a UV spectrophotometer, and the plasmid was stored at -20°C for future use.

[0062] b. Lentivirus production: 24h before transfection, HK-2 cells in good growth condition were digested and inoculated in T25 culture flask, and cultured conventionally until the cell growth coverage reached 80%. The culture medium was replaced with serum-free medium for half an hour, and then packaged by liposome-mediated method according to the reagent instruction (Thermo Fisher, USA). The lentivirus produced by packaging had two types, one was lentivirus containing Keap1, and the other was blank control lentivirus.

[0063] c. Construction of HK-2 cell line overexpressing Keap1: the lentivirus containing Keap1 fragment and the control lentivirus packaged above were used to infect HK-2 cell line in good growth condition respectively. 8h later, the virus-containing culture medium was discarded, and complete culture medium was added. The infection efficiency of HK-2 cells and blank control cells was observed by inverted microscope at 24h and 48h respectively, which was used for subsequent experiments.

[0064] S3: Construction of HK-2 cell line silenced for Nrf2 and HO-1 (siRNA)

[0065] The specific small RNA interference fragments of Nrf2 and HO-1 genes were designed and synthesized using the free software provided by the Invitrogen website (https: / / maiciesigner.invitrogen.com / sima / ). The Nrf2 and HO-1 silenced HK-2 cell line was constructed by plasmid extraction and lentivirus production (method step S2), and the Nrf2 and HO-1 silenced HK-2 cells were verified by Western Blot (Wb) and qRT-PCR (qRT-PCR), method steps S6 and S7.

[0066] S4: Test grouping

[0067] A. Under the culture conditions of step S1, HK-2 cells were divided into 5 groups: control group; model group; DCS-L (low-dose traditional Chinese medicine composition); DCS-M (medium-dose traditional Chinese medicine composition); DCS-H (high-dose traditional Chinese medicine composition). This will help us determine the effect of DCS on the expression of Keap1 / Nrf2 pathway.

[0068] B. In order to further explore the potential relationship between traditional Chinese medicine composition and Keap1 / Nrf2 / HO-1, we designed the following 10 groups of experiments: control group; model group; DCS group; allopurinol intervention group (Allo); Keap1 plasmid + DCS transfection Keap1 blank plasmid + DCS transfection Nrf2 siRNA + DCS; Nrf2 siRNA negative control (NC) + DCS; HO-1 siRNA + DCS; HO-1 siRNA NC + DCS.

[0069] S5: MTT assay

[0070] When the cells in the flask were about 80% full, the medium in the flask was discarded and washed twice with PBS. 1 ml of 0.25% trypsin was used to digest the cells for 1 min to make a cell suspension. After cell counting, 1 x 10 4 Cells were cultured for 24 h. Then the medium was replaced with serum-free medium and cultured for another 12 h. According to the above grouping, each group was further divided into 5 parallel control groups. After 12 h, 24 h and 48 h of intervention, the original culture solution was aspirated, 20 ul of MTT solution (5 mg / ml) was added, and it was cultured in a 37°C incubator for 4 h. Then 150 ul of DMSO solution was added and shaken on a horizontal shaker for 10 min. The OD value at 490 nm was measured by a microplate reader, and the cell survival rate was counted.

[0071] S6: qRT-PCR

[0072] The mRNA sequences of Keap1, Nrf2 and HO-1 were obtained from the gene bank, and the primer 3.0 software (PREMIER Biosoft International, USA) was used for primer design. The primer sequences are shown in Table 1. Total RNA was used as a template to reverse transcribe into cDNA, and SYBR chimeric fluorescence detection was performed according to the requirements of the instructions. In the qRT-PCR detection process, β-Actin was used as an internal reference gene. Each sample was detected in triplicate, and amplification was performed on an ABI 7500 fluorescence quantitative PCR amplifier. The relative abundance of mRNA was calculated by the △△Ct method, and the gene specificity efficiency was explained. Then statistical analysis was performed according to the above results.

[0073] Table 1

[0074]

[0075] S7: Protein extraction and WB

[0076] Each tube of cells was added with 100 ul of lysis solution containing pmsf, and after ice bath for 30 min, homogenate was centrifuged at 4°C, 12000 rpm for 5 min, and the total protein concentration was detected by BCA (1 ug / mL) protein concentration determination kit. The protein was added to the EP tube containing 125 μL 5xSDS, and placed in 100°C water bath for 5-10 min, and after cooling to room temperature, it was stored in a-80°C refrigerator. The total protein extract was subjected to polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with 10%-15% gel. Then the sample was transferred to PVDF membrane. After blocking in 5% skim milk for 2 h, the PVDF membrane was incubated with the following diluted primary antibody (Shanghai Kangcheng Biological, Table 2) at 4°C overnight. The specific primary antibody information is shown in Table 2. After washing the membrane with 1 times TBST, horseradish peroxidase (HRP) conjugated anti-rabbit IgG secondary antibody (1:2000, southern Biotech) was used to block at 37°C for 60 min. After washing with TBST for 3 times, the bound antibody was shown by chemiluminescence with Immobilon Western Chemilum Hrp Substrate (MILLIPORE). Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) was used as a loading control. The luminescence signal was detected by fluorescence imaging. The band intensity was quantified by Image J software.

[0079] S8: Ultrastructure observation

[0080] Logarithmic growth phase HK-2 cells were taken, low-speed centrifugation, and the cells were precipitated at the bottom of the centrifuge tube. The supernatant was absorbed, and 2.5% glutaraldehyde and PBS were immediately added for fixation for 2 hours. Then, 0.1M phosphate washing solution was used for washing, 1% osmium acid fixing solution was used for fixation for 1h, and then alcohol and acetone were used for dehydration step by step. Pure acetone and embedding liquid were used for embedding, toluidine blue staining was performed, and then ultrathin sectioning was performed. Finally, uranyl acetate and lead citrate were used for staining, and transmission electron microscopy observation and photography of HK-2 cell mitochondrial ultrastructure were performed.

[0081] S9: Mitochondrial membrane potential detection

[0082] Cells in logarithmic growth phase were taken, and the original complete medium was discarded. The cells were washed twice with phosphate buffer. The adherent cells were digested with 0.25% trypsin for 1 min, and the cell suspension was blown into the 6-well plate. After counting, 1 x 104 cells were inoculated in each well. After 1-2 days of cell culture, the medium was replaced with serum-free medium, and the cells were cultured for another 12 h. The cells were detected using the mitochondrial membrane potential detection kit (JC-1, Abeam) according to the grouping in 2.4. The change of mitochondrial membrane potential of the cells was determined by the ratio of green and red fluorescence intensity. The average fluorescence value of green and red fluorescence was analyzed using image analysis software. The larger the ratio, the more obvious the decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential.

[0083] S10: Detection of ROS change by fluorescent probe

[0084] DCFH-DA was used for detection. DCFH-DA has no fluorescence, but after entering the cell, it can be oxidized by intracellular oxidants to generate fluorescent DCF. The level of ROS in the cell can be determined by detecting the fluorescence of DCF. DCHF-DA was diluted into serum-free DMEM to a final concentration of 10 umol / L. After the end of the cell intervention experiment, the original culture medium was removed, and the cells were washed twice with PBS buffer. The diluted DCHF-DA medium was added in advance, and the cells were incubated in a 37°C incubator for 30 min. After incubation, the cells were washed twice with PBS, and then collected by conventional digestion and resuspended in PBS. The fluorescence value was determined by flow cytometry, and the median of the DCHF-DA fluorescence intensity represented the Ros content. The average fluorescence intensity value was analyzed by image J image analysis system software. The higher the fluorescence intensity value, the higher the level of reactive oxygen species.

[0085] S11: Statistics and analysis

[0086] Statistical analysis and graph generation were performed using GraphPad Prism 9 (San Diego, CA, USA). The data were collected from at least three independent experiments, determined by student's t-test, and all results were expressed as mean standard deviation. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant.

[0087] S12: Results

[0088] (1) As shown in Figure 1 A, a stable HK-2 cell fibrosis model can be established by culturing HK-2 cells at a uric acid concentration of 0.5 mg / mL for 24 hours. At this concentration, there is no significant change in cell survival rate. As shown in Figure 1 B, compared with the model group, the cell survival rate is the highest when the concentration of the traditional Chinese medicine composition is 1 / 4 (p-0.0001). After determining the optimal treatment concentration, as shown in Figure 1C, we detected the survival rate of cells in the model group and drug treatment group at 12 h, 24 h, 36 h, 48 h, 60 h, 72 h, respectively. From Figure 1 C, it can be seen that the best treatment time of traditional Chinese medicine composition for RF is 48 h.

[0089] (2) The effect of different concentrations of drug-containing serum on the expression level of Keap1 / Nrf2. As shown in Figure 2 A, compared with the control group, the transcription level of Keap1 gene in the model group and DCS-l group increased, but with the increase of DCS dosage, the transcription level of Keap1 gene increased, and the transcription level of Keap1 decreased (p<0.001). The transcription level of Nrf2 gene showed an opposite trend to Keap1 (p<0.05). Subsequently, we detected the protein expression level of Keap1 / Nrf2, and the results are shown in Figure 2 B and Figure 2 C, which is similar to the trend of gene transcription level. It shows that traditional Chinese medicine composition has a dose-dependent regulatory effect on Keap1 / Nrf2 in the treatment of RF.

[0090] (3) We used MTT method to detect the proliferation of HK-2 cells under different treatment times ( Figure 3 A). We found that with the passage of time, the cell proliferation rate of DCS group increased significantly, but overexpression of Keap1 or knockdown of Nrf2 significantly inhibited this trend. Healthy cells usually have a small amount of green fluorescence and a large amount of red fluorescence, representing the aggregation of JC-1, and mitochondria are not depolarized. As shown in Figure 3 B and 3C, there is almost no red fluorescence in the RF group, and the red fluorescence of the traditional Chinese medicine composition treatment group and the allow group is obviously restored. After overexpression of Keap1, there is obvious green fluorescence in HK-2 cells, and the down-regulation of Nrf2 and HO-1 also shows a similar trend. The results of ultrastructure observation show that Figure 3 D), compared with the control group, the mitochondrial membrane of the model group is damaged, and there are more ridge fractures. The traditional Chinese medicine composition can inhibit the occurrence of such damage, but it has a similar trend with the microscopic observation results. Overexpression of Keap1 and knockdown of Nrf2 and HO-1 can affect the treatment effect of traditional Chinese medicine composition.

[0091] (4) Figure 4 The results show that traditional Chinese medicine composition can reduce the ROS content of UA-treated HK-2 cells. Overexpression of Keap1 or knockdown of Nrf2 and HO-1 can inhibit the antioxidant capacity of traditional Chinese medicine composition (p<0.05 or p<0.01), which shows that traditional Chinese medicine composition can inhibit the ROS production of UA-treated HK-2 cells through Keap1 / Nrf2 / HO-1 signaling pathway.

[0092] (5) As shown inFigure 5 A, B, C, we detected the gene expression level of Keap1 / Nrf2 / HO-1 signaling pathway, the results showed that the traditional Chinese medicine composition can inhibit the expression of Keap1, promote the expression of Nrf2 / HO-1 to increase (p<0.05 or p<0.01). The experimental results also prove that we successfully established the Keapl overexpression model and Nrf2 / HO-1 knockdown model. At the same time, HO-1 is the downstream gene of Keap1 / Nrf2, and its knockdown has no significant effect on the upstream two genes. Figure 5 D, E, f, G shows the protein expression results of Keap1 / Nrf2 / HO-1 signaling pathway, which is highly consistent with the gene expression results, further proving the accuracy of our results.

[0119] The diagnostic criteria are as follows: (1) Primary hyperuricemia: all cases before treatment have hyperuricemia (male >417 μmol / L, female >357 μmol / L), and exclude secondary hyperuricemia caused by other kidney diseases, blood diseases and tumor radiotherapy, chemotherapy or thiazide diuretics. (2) At least one of the following kidney damage: ① proteinuria; ② hematuria; ③ one or several kidney function decline; ④ urinary tract stones, which can exclude other causes. Syndrome type belongs to wet turbidity, blood stasis and obstruction of collaterals: chest and abdominal distension, poor appetite, vomiting, loose stool and frequent urination, heavy limbs, heavy head, hazy face, yellow or blackish face, dark purple lips and nails, subcutaneous ecchymosis, purple tongue, or petechiae or tooth marks, white and greasy tongue fur, and stringy and rough pulse.

[0120] Treatment group: give the decoction obtained in Example 1, 1 dose / day, taken twice in the morning and afternoon; the normal control group does not use any drug intervention. Both groups take low-salt and low-fat diet, strictly prohibit alcohol and smoking, and keep the protein intake at 0.8-1.0 g / kg body weight per day. If there is significant damage to kidney function, the diet should be adjusted according to the requirements of kidney failure. One month of treatment is one course of treatment, and three courses of treatment are one treatment stage. The results are shown in Table 4.
