Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of biomedicine, and in particular to a protein solution for promoting the repair of endometrial damage and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] The endometrium is the basis for embryo development. A relatively thick endometrium has a better bearing effect. If the endometrium is thin, the implantation rate and pregnancy rate after implantation will be affected. A recognized sign of endometrial receptivity is the thickness of the endometrium. The minimum endometrial thickness for successful embryo transfer is 7 mm. When it is less than this value, the success rate of embryo transfer will be greatly affected. In particular, when the endometrial thickness is less than 5 mm, embryo transfer is usually not possible, and the survival rate of the embryo after transfer will also be significantly reduced. The continuous thinning of the endometrium during the reproductive cycle may be related to a lower implantation rate and a higher miscarriage rate. Endometrial damage caused by various reasons such as artificial abortion, curettage, intrauterine surgery, infection, etc. may cause endometrial regeneration disorders, leading to reduced menstruation, amenorrhea, recurrent miscarriage and infertility. It is reported that the incidence of endometrial damage in infertile patients is about one-fifth. At present, progesterone is mostly used to repair endometrial damage, but the effect is poor. Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) plays an important role in angiogenesis and cell mitosis, and participates in important physiological processes such as angiogenesis and wound repair. PDGF can promote the proliferation and invasion of endometrial stromal cells, promote angiogenesis, and has a certain effect on the repair of endometrial damage, but simple PDGF solution or gel preparation cannot be attached to the endometrial surface for a long time, and the effect is limited, making it difficult to achieve endometrial repair. Therefore, finding a method that can enhance PDGF to repair endometrial damage and promote the thickening of the damaged endometrium to normal levels is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently by those skilled in the art.

[0080] Experimental Example 1: The method for preparing a protein solution for promoting the repair of endometrial damage was respectively prepared according to Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-3, and the physiological saline was replaced with MEM culture medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum to obtain an experimental solution. L-929 cells (NCTCclone 929) were cultured in MEM culture medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum and antibiotics (penicillin 100 U / mL, streptomycin 100 µg / mL) and cultured in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator. The cells were digested with 0.25% trypsin, centrifuged at 200 g for 3 min, and then the cells were redispersed in fresh culture medium and the cell density was adjusted to 2×10 5cells / mL cell suspension; inoculate the above cell suspension into a 96-well culture plate, 100 μL per well, place in a carbon dioxide incubator (5% CO2, 37°C, humidity>90%) for 24 h, then add 100 μL of experimental solution to each well as the experimental group, set up a well with only 200 μL of MEM medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum as the blank control group, and a well with 100 μL of medium + 100 μL of cells as the negative control. After adding the experimental solution, continue to culture for 5 days, add 20 μL of MTT (5 mg / mL prepared in PBS) to each well in the dark every day, and continue to culture for 4 hours after adding MTT on the last day, remove all the liquid in the well, add 150 μL of DMSO solution to each well, shake at low speed for 15 min in an ELISA reader, and measure its OD value at λ=490 nm. The cytotoxicity was determined by calculating the relative growth rate (RGR, %): RGR = [(OD experimental group - OD blank group) / (OD negative control group - OD blank group)] × 100%. The specific toxicity grading standards are: Level 0: RGR ≥ 100%; Level 1: 99% ≥ RGR ≥ 75; Level 2: 74 ≥ RGR ≥ 50; Level 3: 49 ≥ RGR ≥ 25; Level 4: 24 ≥ RGR ≥ 1; Level 5 = 0. Levels 2 and above can be considered as cytotoxic reactions. The results are shown in Figure 1 shown.
[0081] Figure 1 The results showed that the RGR of the comparative example 1-3 group was lower than that of the embodiment 1-3, but the toxicity levels of the embodiment 1-3 and the comparative example 1-3 group were both 0, indicating that the protein solution for promoting the repair of endometrial damage of the present invention is non-cytotoxic and has high biosafety.
[0082] Experimental Example 2: 60 female SD rats aged 8-10 weeks and weighing 220-260 g were selected. After one week of adaptive feeding, they were randomly divided into 6 groups, with 10 rats in each group. The model was induced by mechanical injury and ethanol perfusion. The rats were fasted and deprived of water for 12 h before the operation. After intraperitoneal injection of 2% sodium pentobarbital, they were fixed in the supine position. The uterine horns were exposed by a transverse incision in the abdomen. A longitudinal incision of about 4 mm was made about 0.5 cm below the uterine horns. The middle and upper endometrium was scraped with an endometrial scraper with a diameter of 2.5 mm. The curettage was stopped when the four walls of the uterus were rough. The uterine horns were clamped with a vascular clamp, and 95% ethanol was extracted with a 1 mL syringe and injected downward from the incision until the uterine cavity was filled. Then the incision was temporarily clamped with a vascular clamp. After 3 minutes, the vascular clamp at the incision was loosened to discharge the residual ethanol, and the uterine surface liquid was dried with sterile gauze. After modeling, each group was immediately given 0.5 mL of the protein solution prepared in Example 1-3 and Comparative Example 1-3 to perfuse the uterine cavity. After the operation was completed, the abdominal cavity was flushed with sterile saline. After the uterus was repositioned, the abdomen was closed layer by layer, and the incision was disinfected with 75% alcohol. After surgery, 2 mL of gentamicin was injected intramuscularly every day to prevent infection. One rat in each group was killed at 12 h, 24 h, 36 h, 48 h, 60 h, and 72 h after surgery, and the uterus was collected. The drug concentration of PDGF-bb in the uterus was detected by ELISA. The results are shown in Figure 2. Figure 2 shown.
[0083] Figure 2 The results showed that the concentration of PDGF-bb in Example 1-3 was significantly higher than that in Comparative Examples 1-3, and the rate of decrease was also lower than that in Comparative Examples 1-3. Among them, the PDGF-bb in Comparative Example 2 was lower than that in Comparative Example 3, indicating that the linker polypeptide can effectively prolong the action time of PDGF, and the addition of hyaluronic acid-carrageenan composite material can further prolong the action time of PDGF factor in the body and promote the repair of uterine damage.
[0084] Experimental Example 3: 80 female SD rats aged 8-10 weeks and weighing 220-260 g were selected. After one week of adaptive feeding, they were randomly divided into 8 groups, each with 10 rats, including 6 experimental groups, 1 sham operation group, and 1 model group. The experimental group and the model group were induced by mechanical injury and ethanol perfusion. The modeling method was the same as that of Experimental Example 2. The sham operation group was anesthetized and operated laparotomy. The uterine horn was fully exposed to the outside of the body and then retracted. No other operations were performed. The uterine surface liquid was dried with sterile gauze after the physiological saline was rinsed and cleaned. After modeling, each experimental group was immediately given 0.5 mL of the protein solution prepared in Example 1-3 and Comparative Example 1-3 to perfuse the uterine cavity. The sham operation group and the model group were given an equal amount of physiological saline. After the operation was completed, the abdominal cavity was rinsed with sterile physiological saline. After the uterus was repositioned, the abdomen was closed layer by layer. The incision was disinfected with 75% alcohol. After the operation, 2 mL of gentamicin was given intramuscularly for 3 consecutive days to prevent infection. The mice in each group were killed 14 days after surgery, and the uterine tissues were collected, fixed with paraformaldehyde, and sectioned with paraffin, and stained with HE and Masson staining. Figure 3 The number of endometrial glands and the proportion of endometrial fibrosis were statistically analyzed, and the statistical results are shown in Figure 4 shown.
[0085] Figure 3 and Figure 4 The results showed that the sham operation group had normal endometrial structure, a large number of glands, and a normal fibrosis ratio; the model group had severe intrauterine adhesions, a significantly reduced number of glands, and an increased fibrosis ratio; the experimental group had lower intrauterine adhesions than the model group, the number of glands recovered, and the fibrosis ratio was lower than the model group, and close to the sham operation group. The above results show that the protein solution for promoting endometrial damage repair of the present invention has a good repair effect on intrauterine adhesions, and the effect is better than using PDGF and collagen alone. The linker polypeptide can effectively improve the repair effect of endometrial damage and promote endometrial damage repair.
[0086] Experimental Example 4: 60 patients with thin endometrium, aged 35-41 years old, with a previous endometrial thickness of 3.5 mm in the late follicular phase, were selected on a voluntary basis and randomly divided into 6 groups, with 10 patients in each group. The protein solutions of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were injected into the uterine cavity, 3 mL at a time. The results were as follows: Figure 5 shown.
[0087] Figure 5 The results showed that the endometrial thickness of Example 1-3 and Comparative Example 3 increased to more than 8 mm, which was better than Comparative Examples 1-2, indicating that the protein solution of the present invention for promoting the repair of endometrial damage can effectively promote endometrial thickening in patients with thin endometrium, and the linker polypeptide can significantly enhance the effect of the protein solution in promoting endometrial thickening.
