[0039] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, but this should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0040] Example: A method for detecting the effect of Tgfβ1 on the polarization of Wilson's disease neutrophils, comprising the following steps:
[0041] Step 1: By co-localization of immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence, it was determined that hepatocytes highly express Tgfβ1 (transforming growth factor β1) during the formation of liver fibrosis in Wilson's disease mice;
[0042] In this step, immunohistochemistry was performed as follows: paraffin-embedded liver specimens from 16-week-old ATP7B-KO and C57BL6 mice were sectioned to a thickness of 4 μm, stained overnight with anti-TGFβ1 antibody diluted at a ratio of 1:200, and then developed with DAB.
[0043] Immunofluorescence co-localization was performed as follows: paraffin-embedded liver specimens from 16-week-old ATP7B-KO and C57BL6 mice were sectioned to a thickness of 4 μm and stained overnight with anti-TGFβ1 antibody (1:500), anti-Albumin antibody (1:500), and DAPI, followed by fluorescence secondary antibody development.
[0044] Step 2: By inhibiting the high expression of Tgfβ1 in the process of liver fibrosis formation in Wilson's disease mice, the reduction of neutrophil polarization was determined;
[0045] This step includes drug injection: SM16 was administered to ATP7B-KO mice and C57BL6 mice by gavage at a dose of 2 mg / kg, three times a week, from 8 to 16 weeks of age.
[0046] Mouse liver enzyme metabolism detection: Whole blood samples were obtained from the orbital blood of ATP7B-KO mice and C57BL6 mice, and serum was separated from whole blood by centrifugation at 3500 rpm for 15 minutes. 100 μL of serum samples were drawn and biochemical indicators such as ALT, AST, HDL-C, TChol, etc. were detected by a biochemical analyzer.
[0047] Liver pathology: The left lobe of the mouse liver was fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde at room temperature for 24 hours, and then the left lobe of the liver was dehydrated with 75%, 80%, 85%, 95%, and 100% ethanol solutions. Then the tissue was transparentized by immersing in xylene solution for 20 minutes. The sample was immersed in wax at 65°C for 3 hours and embedded at 4°C. The tissue was cut into 4 μm thick sections using a rotary microtome. After deparaffinization, the sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and Sirius red to observe liver pathology and fibrosis.
[0048] Mouse liver neutrophil polarization: Mouse liver tissue was ground and filtered through a 70 μm filter, then purified and enriched by 35% percoll, and then incubated with the following antibodies: PerCP anti-mouse / human CD11b antibody, APC anti-mouse Ly6G antibody, PE anti-NOS2 (iNOS) antibody, FITC anti-mouse CD206 (MMR) antibody, and analyzed by flow cytometry. The total aggregation of liver neutrophils was represented by CD11b+Ly6G+double positive cells; neutrophil polarization was represented by CD11b+Ly6G+NOS2+triple positive for N1 type and CD11b+Ly6G+CD206+triple positive for N2 type.
[0049] Step 3, collect mouse bone marrow neutrophils, and determine the mechanism of Tgfβ1 promoting neutrophil polarization by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR, protein electrophoresis and methylation reaction.
[0050] In this step, the collection of mouse bone marrow neutrophils is as follows: after the C57BL6 mice of 8-12 weeks old are sacrificed, their tibial and femoral bones are separated, the bone marrow at both ends is cut off, and the bone marrow cavity is exposed. A 10 mL syringe is filled with pre-cooled RPMI1640 culture medium containing 10% FBS and 1% double antibody for flushing. The flushing liquid is filtered through a 70 um nylon screen and the cells are collected by centrifugation at 3000 rpm for 4 minutes, and the cells are resuspended with 3 mL of RPMI culture medium. The percoll gradient liquid is pre-equilibrated to room temperature, and 3 mL of 78% and 3 mL of 65% percoll solution are sequentially added to a 15 mL centrifuge tube. The cell suspension is slowly placed on the percoll gradient liquid, and then centrifuged at 800g, 35min, 25℃ without braking. The solution above the 65% percoll layer is discarded, and the percoll layer between 65%-78% is collected. After adding 3 mL of 1xPBS and mixing, centrifugation at 1000 rpm for 3 min is performed. The supernatant is discarded, and the precipitate is added with 3 mL of 1xPBS and washed once. 2 mL of red blood cell lysis solution is added, mixed and reacted for 1 min, and then centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 3 min. The supernatant is discarded, and the precipitate is washed twice with 3 mL of 1xPBS. The supernatant is discarded, and the precipitate is resuspended with 500 μL of RPMI 1640 culture medium containing 10% FBS and 1% double antibody. After being placed in a 37℃ carbon dioxide incubator for 2 hours, 10 ng / mL of constitutive human TGFβ1 is added for co-treatment with 1 μM 5-aza for 24 hours or 10 ng / mL of constitutive human TGFβ1 is added for co-treatment with 1 μM STATTIC for 24 hours.
[0051] Real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR: The mouse bone marrow neutrophils are collected, 1 mL of Trizol is added to extract total RNA, which is reversely transcribed into cDNA by HiScript II first-strand cDNA synthesis kit, and then real-time fluorescent PCR reaction is performed by ChamQ universal SYBR qPCR master mix kit. The detection genes are: CD95, Nos2, Ccl3, Arg2, CD206, Ym1, E-cadherin, Epcam, Keratin18.
[0052] Protein electrophoresis: The mouse bone marrow neutrophils are collected, RIPA lysis buffer is added to extract protein, and then SDS-PAGE electrophoresis is performed, the corresponding primary antibody is incubated, and the protein expression change is detected. The antibodies used are: anti-pSTAT3, anti-DNMT3A, anti-SOCS3.
[0053] Methylation reaction: collect mouse bone marrow neutrophils, use blood / cell / tissue genomic DNA extraction kit for genome extraction. Take 500 ng genomic DNA for DNA bisulfite conversion kit for bisulfite treatment. Take 50 ng bisulfite DNA as template, add methylation or non-methylation primer for amplification reaction. Take 10 μL amplification product for agarose gel electrophoresis, and the band is compared by Image J software.
[0054] The methylation primers used are as follows:
[0055] F 5'-TTTTTTGTTGTTTGTTGTAAAATTC-3'
[0056] R 5'-TTTAAAATATCTAAACTTTCCCGAT-3'
[0057] The non-methylation primers used are as follows:
[0058] F 5'-TTTTTTGTTGTTTGTTGTAAAATTTG-3'
[0059] R 5'-TTTAAAATATCTAAACTTTCCCAAT-3'.
[0060] Based on the above steps, the corresponding results are compared and analyzed after each step. As shown in Figure 1 Figure 1 is the expression site of Tgfβ1. (A) Immunohistochemistry of liver specimens. (B) Immunofluorescence co-localization of liver specimens. Albumin is used to indicate hepatocytes, and DAPI is used to indicate cell nuclei. It can be seen that by using the immunohistochemical method of mouse liver specimens, it is observed that Tgfβ1 is highly expressed in the process of liver fibrosis formation in hepatolenticular degeneration mice Figure 1 A). Further, in order to clarify the cell type expressing Tgfβ1, by using the method of immunofluorescence co-localization, it is observed that Tgfβ1 is co-localized with the hepatocyte-specific marker antibody anti-Albumin. And the Tgfβ1 receptor inhibitor SM16 is administered by gavage to ATP7B-KO mice and wild-type mice, which can eliminate the expression of Tgfβ1 in hepatocytes Figure 1 B). The above data show that in the process of liver fibrosis formation in hepatolenticular degeneration mice, hepatocytes highly express Tgfβ1.
[0061] Further, Figure 2A Figure shows the flow cytometry analysis chart of neutrophils in the liver of wild-type mice after SM16 treatment; Figure 2B Figure shows the flow cytometry analysis chart of neutrophils in the liver of hepatolenticular degeneration mice after SM16 treatment; Figure 3 Figure B in the figure shows the changes in the number of neutrophils in the livers of wild-type mice and Wilson's disease mice after SM16 treatment; Figure 3 Figure C in the figure shows the changes in liver neutrophil polarity in wild-type mice and Wilson's disease mice after SM16 treatment; Figure 3 The D-plot in the diagram represents the changes in ALT. Figure 3 The E-plot in the figure represents the AST variation; Figure 4 The F-plot in the diagram represents the HDL-C variation; Figure 4 The G-plot shows the TChol variation; Figure 4 Changes in liver index in the H-plot; Figure 4 Figure I shows changes in liver copper levels; Figure 5 H&E staining of livers from wild-type mice and Wilson's disease mice treated with SM16; Figure 6 Sirius red staining of the livers of wild-type mice and Wilson's disease mice treated with SM16.
[0062] As can be seen, when ATP7B-KO mice and wild-type mice were administered the Tgfβ1 receptor inhibitor SM16 by gavage, it was observed that SM16 treatment reduced the number of aggregated neutrophils in the liver of Wilson's disease mice, and also reduced the number of N2 neutrophils (Figure 2 and...). Figure 3 (BC diagram in the image) shows that the pre-existing abnormal liver enzymes in the diseased mice were improved. Figure 3 DE and Figure 4 (FG diagram in the image). SM6 treatment reduced the liver index in diseased mice ( Figure 4 (H-plot in the image), but liver copper levels did not improve ( Figure 4 Figure I in the table). H&E and Sirius red staining of liver specimens showed that SM16 treatment reduced liver fibrosis in mice with pre-existing disease. Figure 5 and Figure 6 The above data indicate that, during the progression of liver disease in Wilson's disease mice, inhibiting the high expression of Tgfβ1 can alleviate neutrophil polarization.
[0063] Furthermore, Figure 7 Figure A in the figure shows the changes in the expression of polarity-related genes in bone marrow neutrophils detected by real-time quantitative PCR. Figure 7 Figure B in the figure shows the changes in the expression of genes related to epithelial-mesenchymal transition in bone marrow neutrophils as detected by real-time quantitative PCR. Figure 8 This indicates that protein electrophoresis showed changes in pSTAT3 expression; Figure 9 This indicates that protein electrophoresis showed changes in DNMT3A expression; Figure 10 This indicates that protein electrophoresis showed changes in SCOS3 expression; Figure 11 This indicates that the methylation reaction shows changes in SOCS3 methylation.
[0064] It can be seen that the application uses the real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR method to observe that Tgfβ1 promotes the polarization of neutrophil by adding human Tgfβ1 to the neutrophil separated from the bone marrow of wild-type mice in vitro, and the effect is dependent on methylation (A-B figure in the middle). Figure 7 It is further observed by protein electrophoresis that Tgfβ1 can promote STAT3 phosphorylation by methylation SOCS3. Figures 8-11 The above data show that Tgfβ1 can promote STAT3 phosphorylation by methylation SOCS3, and finally lead to the polarization of neutrophil.
[0065] In summary, the application detects the expression of Tgfβ1 in the development process of hepatolenticular degeneration and the effect on the polarization of neutrophil by a series of methods such as immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence co-localization, mouse drug gavage, extraction of mouse bone marrow neutrophil, real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR, protein electrophoresis, methylation reaction, and further clarifies the mechanism of liver lesion of hepatolenticular degeneration, and provides an optional solution for improving the liver disease of hepatolenticular degeneration.
