Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the cardiovascular field, and in particular to an application of indole-3-propionic acid in preparing a medicine for treating and / or preventing restenosis after vascular intervention surgery. Background Art
[0002] Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases have become the leading cause of death in China and developed countries. Vascular stenosis or occlusive lesions are important causes of death from cardiovascular diseases. Innovations in endovascular technology such as drug-coated balloons or eluting stents have achieved better therapeutic effects on vascular stenosis and occlusive lesions, but the incidence of restenosis is still as high as 17% in one year and 30%-40% in two years. Vascular restenosis caused by neointimal regeneration after endovascular treatment is still a serious clinical problem.
[0003] The human gut microbiota is essential for human health and is closely related to the pathogenesis of a variety of cardiovascular diseases. Increasing evidence from animal and human studies supports that the gut microbiota can affect the health and disease of the host, and that the gut microbiota can directly affect the development of cardiovascular disease through the production of metabolites such as bile acid, lipopolysaccharide, short-chain fatty acids, and trimethylamine-N-oxide. The gut microbiota produces a large number of metabolites, some of which are absorbed by the systemic circulation and have biological activity, while others are further metabolized by host enzymes and then affect the host as microorganisms. The gut microbiota acts as a virtual endocrine system, communicating with distal organs through metabolism-dependent pathways. Indole-3-propionic acid (IPA), a tryptophan metabolite of the gut microbiota, has been found to have anti-atherosclerotic and myocardial function-improving effects. At present, microbiota transplantation, microbiota remodeling, and exogenous supplementation of microbiota metabolites have become a hot topic for the treatment and prevention of cardiovascular diseases. However, there is no research and application of the gut microbiota in restenosis after cardiovascular intervention. Summary of the invention

[0006] Preferably, the restenosis after vascular interventional surgery is caused by neointimal regeneration caused by mechanical damage during endovascular interventional surgery.
[0007] Preferably, the mechanical damage is caused by mechanical stretching.

[0013] A third aspect of the present invention provides a use of indole-3-propionic acid in the preparation of a drug for reducing the expression of CDK2 in vascular smooth muscle cells.
[0014] A fourth aspect of the present invention provides an application in drug screening for treating and / or preventing restenosis after vascular intervention surgery.
[0015] Preferably, the application includes a method for screening a drug, wherein the screening method includes:
[0016] Treating vascular restenosis model animals or cells with the drug to be screened;

[0067] 2 Experimental methods
[0068] 2.1 Cultivation of primary mouse aortic smooth muscle cells
[0069] After the mice were anesthetized with 1% sodium pentobarbital (dose: 50 mg / kg), they were fixed in a supine position. The hair on the chest and abdomen of the mice was completely removed using a hair remover and a hair removal cream. After the skin was disinfected with iodine, the chest and abdominal cavities were opened in sequence using dissecting forceps and tissue forceps, the sternum was cut, and the internal organs were opened to one side to expose the heart. The right atrial appendage was cut open (a small amount of blood could be seen flowing out), a 10ml empty needle was inserted into the slightly upper position of the left apex, and 10ml PBS (phosphate buffer, PH=7.4) was perfused, and the aorta was repeatedly rinsed 2-3 times until the aorta was transparent. The intercostal arteries and aorta were bluntly freed along the mouse spine with micro forceps (the blood vessels could not be clamped, only the attached fat could be clamped), and the thoracic aorta was cut (above the renal plane) and immediately placed in a pre-cooled sterile PBS culture dish; under a stereo microscope, the fat tissue around the blood vessels was gently peeled off with micro forceps until the aorta became transparent and clean. Move to a new clean PBS dish, cut the aorta longitudinally with microscissors, lay the aorta flat, with the intercostal artery side facing outward and the inner side facing upward, use ophthalmic curved forceps to bluntly scrape off the endothelial cells, leaving the remaining media tissue thin and transparent. Wash the blood vessels repeatedly with saline to remove impurities such as fat tissue and blood clots around the blood vessels, then mix the media tissues of multiple blood vessels collected at one time and put them into a sterile PBS culture dish. Continue to press and fix with the left hand forceps, and use the right hand forceps to slightly lift and scrape upward. You can see that the media is tilted. Continue to scrape between the outer membrane and the media (scrape on the outer membrane, the media will naturally tilt), gradually move upward, press and scrape the media while moving upward, collect the media and immediately place it in sterile saline.
[0070] Use microscopic curved scissors to repeatedly cut the tissue blocks into 1×1mm size tissue blocks. Use a sterile Pasteur tube to evenly spread the cut tissue blocks in a T25 sterile culture bottle, with a spacing of 0.5cm between tissue blocks. Cover the bottle cap, stand the T25 culture bottle upright, and inject 7.5±2.5ml of DMEM / F12 culture medium into the bottle, then stand the culture bottle upright and place it in a 37℃, 5% CO2 incubator for 2h to allow the tissue blocks to completely dry and adhere closely to the bottle wall. Flip the culture bottle and lay it flat normally so that the tissue blocks are completely immersed in the culture solution. Continue to place the T25 culture bottle in the cell incubator for 7-8 days. During this period, move the culture bottle less frequently. After cells crawl out under the microscope, replace the new culture medium 3 days / time until subculture.
[0071] 2.2 Cell passaging
[0072] Observe the cell growth with a light microscope. When the cell density reaches more than 80% of the culture flask, perform subculture. The specific operation is as follows:
[0073] Use a sterile Pasteur tube to discard the old culture medium and add 5ml PBS to wash off the remaining culture medium and aging cells, add 2ml sterile 0.25% trypsin and place in a 37℃ incubator for digestion. After standing for 1min, move to an inverted microscope for inspection. When most cells are observed to shrink and float, add 4ml DMEM / F12 cell culture medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) to terminate cell digestion. Use a sterile Pasteur tube to repeatedly blow the cells at the bottom of the bottle, transfer the resuspended cell suspension into a 15ml centrifuge tube, centrifuge at 1000rpm / min for 3 minutes, discard the old culture medium again after centrifugation, resuspend the cells with DMEM / F12 cell culture medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum, pass the cell suspension at 1:2-3, transfer to a 37℃, 5% CO2 incubator, and continue to maintain a suitable environment for cell growth.
[0074] 2.3 Cell cryopreservation
[0075] Select well-grown 2-6 generations of smooth muscle cells (MOVASs), remove the culture medium with a sterile Pasteur tube, add 2ml of 0.25% trypsin digestion solution to the bottle, place it in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator for 1min, observe the cells become round and wrinkled under an inverted microscope, and then add 4ml of DMEM / F12 medium containing 5% FBS to terminate trypsin digestion. Use a Pasteur tube to gently blow the bottom of the bottle, collect all the cell suspension and transfer it to a 15ml centrifuge tube, centrifuge at 1000rpm / min for 3min, remove the supernatant, prepare cell freezing solution according to the ratio of serum-free DMEM / F12 medium: serum: DMSO = 7:2:1, add 2ml of freezing solution, and dispense it into freezing tubes at 1ml / tube. First, place the cell freezing tubes in a gradient freezing box and put them in -80°C overnight, and put them in a liquid nitrogen tank for long-term storage the next day.
[0076] 2.4 Establishment of in vivo and in vitro models of vascular deformation injury
[0077] 2.4.1 Establishment of in vivo model of vascular deformation injury: The mouse femoral artery wire injury model (FAW) is used to simulate the vascular deformation injury associated with intravascular treatment.
[0078] After isoflurane inhalation anesthesia was stable, the mouse was fixed on a sterile animal operating table to keep the airway open. The Abbott CROSS-IT 200XT 0.014 size guide wire tip was selected. The working diameter of this guide wire tip was 0.25 mm, which was about 1.25-1.67 times the diameter of the normal mouse femoral artery (0.15-0.2 mm). When performing the mouse femoral artery guide wire deformation injury surgery, the mouse superficial femoral artery was freed under a stereomicroscope, and the deep femoral artery was protected. The superficial femoral artery was pre-punctured with a curved fine needle to assist the guide wire to enter the blood vessel through the puncture point. The guide wire stayed in the femoral artery for about 90-120 seconds, causing a short-term continuous vascular deformation stretch injury to avoid the guide wire from repeatedly advancing and retreating to damage the vascular endothelial cells. The proximal and distal ends of the puncture point were then ligated. The sham operation group only underwent skin incision and vascular freeing, and the modeling was completed. The modeling process was as follows Figure 1 (A) After 2 weeks, the mice were killed by cervical dislocation and the blood vessels near the puncture point were obtained.
[0079] 2.4.2 Establishment of an in vitro model of vascular deformation injury: Elastic chamber C802 system
[0080] like Figure 1 As shown in (B), the present invention proposes and establishes an elastic chamber C802 system, an in vitro cell experimental model for simulating vascular deformation damage. The elastic dish provided by the system can cause the adherent cells to produce continuous deformation of varying degrees for a certain period of time under the action of external force, and the vascular deformation damage caused by intravascular treatment is simulated by this system. The elastic dish is an elastic silicone dish-shaped device, which can be formed into a uniform deformation stretch by a matching stretching ruler. In the preliminary experiment, 5%, 10%, and 20% deformation stretches were used, and the deformation was maintained for 2 minutes. It was observed that the 10% deformation stretch had little effect on the subsequent culture state of the cells, and the 10% deformation stretch was in line with the actual situation of intravascular treatment surgery. Subsequent experiments were carried out with this degree of deformation.
[0081] 2.4.3 Frozen sections
[0082] Take out the tissue (from 2.4.1 and 2.4.2) embedded with OCT embedding agent (Optimal cutting temperature compound) from the -80℃ freezer, put it into the freezing microtome, and slice it into 10μm slices after balancing for 30 minutes. Flatten the slices with a brush, adhere the tissue slices with adhesive slides, and store them in a -80℃ freezer.

[0193] 2. Experimental Results
[0194] 1. In vivo experiments have shown that IPA reduces intimal regeneration after mechanical stretching of blood vessels
[0195] C57BL / 6J mice of 8 weeks old and weighing 20-25 g were selected and grouped as follows:
[0196] ①C57BL / 6J control mouse group, without any treatment, recorded as Ctrl group;
[0197] ②C57BL / 6J mice group, gavaged with PBS buffer and injured the femoral artery with a guidewire, recorded as PBS+FAW group;
[0198] ③C57BL / 6J mouse group, intragastrically administered with IPA (20 mg / kg), and femoral artery guidewire injury was performed, recorded as IPA 20 mg / kg + FAW group;
[0199] ④C57BL / 6J mouse group, intragastrically administered with IPA (40 mg / kg), and concurrently performed femoral artery guidewire injury, recorded as IPA 40 mg / kg+FAW group.
[0200] Among them, ① is the control group, ② is the PBS+surgery group, ③ and ④ are the IPA+surgery groups. According to the above grouping, the mice were gavaged with the corresponding reagents and doses according to their weight. The PBS+surgery group was gavaged with an equal amount of PBS buffer for 10 consecutive days. After 10 days, the mice in the corresponding groups underwent femoral artery guidewire injury surgery. 14 days after surgery, samples were taken for subsequent experiments. This method can be used to suggest an animal model with high serum IPA. Mice modeled as described above were taken, and the proximal blood vessels of the puncture point were sampled 14 days after surgery. The blood vessels of each group were stained with hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) to observe the degree of intimal neoplasia in each group, confirming that IPA after vascular deformation injury reduced intimal neoplasia after mechanical stretching of the blood vessels. The results are as follows Figure 2 shown.
[0201] in, Figure 2 (A) Schematic diagram of the grouping and modeling of mice in each group;
[0202] Figure 2 (B) The serum IPA levels of mice in each group were detected by Elisa method. The results showed that the serum IPA levels of mice gavaged with 20 mg / kg and 40 mg / kg IPA were significantly increased;
[0203] Figure 2 (C) The H&E method was used to detect the neointimal formation of the femoral arteries of mice in each group. It can be seen that the neointimal formation of mice gavaged with IPA was significantly lower than that of the group gavaged with PBS, and it was concentration-dependent. Figure 2 (D) and 2(E) are the statistical quantification diagrams of the degree of femoral artery neointimal neoplasia and the intima / media ratio of each group of mice, respectively. It can be seen that the degree of femoral artery neointimal neoplasia in the PBS+FAW group was higher than that in the two groups of mice gavaged with IPA, and the degree of neointimal neoplasia in the IPA 40 mg / kg+FAW group was lower than that in the IPA 20 mg / kg+FAW group, indicating that IPA improved the neointimal neoplasia caused by femoral artery guidewire injury in a concentration-dependent manner.
[0204] 2. In vitro experiments have shown that IPA reduces intimal regeneration after mechanical stretching of blood vessels
[0205] Primary mouse aortic vascular smooth muscle cells (MOVAS) were pretreated with IPA at different concentration gradients (16000 μM-125 μM) to detect the safe concentration of IPA and obtain the IC value of IPA for MOVAS. 50 The concentration of 500 μM was 3500 μM, so the concentration that was effective and safe for MOVAS was selected for subsequent experiments. The cells in subsequent experiments were from MOVAS and grouped as follows:
[0206] ①Ctrl group, no processing;
[0207] ②10% MS group, 10% degree of mechanical stretch injury;
[0208] ③10% MS+500μM IPA group: MOVAS were treated with 500μM IPA for 2h, and then subjected to 10% mechanical stretch injury using the elastic chamber C802 system;
[0209] ④IPA 500μM group: MOVAS were treated with 500μM IPA for 2h.
[0210] After 24 hours, the proliferation ability of MOVAS in each group was detected by EdU and CCK8 methods, and the migration ability of MOVAS was detected by flat scratch and Transwell methods. The results are shown in Figure 3 shown.
[0211] Figure 3 (A) The proliferation ability of each group of cells was detected by EdU method, where the first row is the blue fluorescence image of the cell nucleus of each group of cells, the second row is the red fluorescence image of the proliferating cells labeled with EdU, and the third row is the co-localization image of the cell nucleus and EdU. The first column is the cells of the Ctrl group, the second column is the cells of the 10% MS group, the third column is the cells of the 10% MS+500μM IPA group, and the fourth column is the cells of the IPA 500μM group. It can be seen that the proliferation ability of smooth muscle cells increased significantly after 10% mechanical stretch, and IPA treatment can reduce the proliferation of smooth muscle cells caused by 10% mechanical stretch;
[0212] Figure 3 (B) is a statistical quantification diagram of EdU detection. It can be seen that 10% mechanical stretch can significantly increase the proliferation ability of smooth muscle cells, but IPA treatment can improve this phenomenon and inhibit the proliferation of smooth muscle cells caused by mechanical stretch.
[0213] Figure 3(C) The proliferation ability of cells in each group was detected by CCK8 method. It can be seen that the proliferation ability of smooth muscle cells in the 10% MS deformation group increased, but this result could be reversed after further IPA treatment with the same deformation;
[0214] Figure 3 (D) and Figure 3 (E) The plate scratch and Transwell results of each group. Figure 3 (D) The first and second rows are the results of 0 h and 48 h, respectively, and the first to fourth columns are the results of the Ctrl group, 10% MS group, 10% MS+500μM IPA, and IPA 500μM group, respectively; Figure 3 (E) The first picture in the first row shows the migration results of Ctrl cells, the second picture in the first row shows the migration results of 10% MS group cells, the first picture in the second row shows the migration results of 10% MS+500μM IPA group cells, and the second picture in the second row shows the migration results of IPA 500μM group cells. It can be seen that the migration ability of smooth muscle cells increased after 10% mechanical stretch, but this result can be reversed after IPA treatment;
[0215] Figure 3 (F) and Figure 3 (G) are statistical quantification diagrams of the results of the flat scratch test and the Transwell test. It can be seen that 10% mechanical stretch can significantly improve the migration ability of smooth muscle cells, but IPA treatment inhibits the migration of smooth muscle cells induced by mechanical stretch.
[0216] 3. IPA inhibits intimal neoplasia by reducing the increased expression of CDK2 (Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 2) in vascular smooth muscle cells caused by mechanical stretch.
[0217] MOVAS cells were grouped as follows:
[0218] ① Control group, cells were not treated in any way;
[0219] ②10% MS deformation group, cells underwent 10% mechanical stretch injury;
[0220] ③10% deformation + IPA treatment group, cells were treated with 500 μM for 2 h, then subjected to 10% mechanical stretch injury, and then treated with 500 μM for 24 h;
[0221] ④IPA treatment group, cells were treated with 500 μM.
[0222] 3.1 The PCR-Array method was used to detect the difference in gene expression between the control group and the 10% MS deformation group. The results are as follows Figure 4As shown in (A), con corresponds to the Ctrl group, and p10 corresponds to the 10% MS deformation group. It was found that the expression of CDK2 in the 10% MS deformation group was significantly higher than that in the Ctrl group.
[0223] 3.2 Western blotting was used to detect the expression differences of CDK2 in transcription and translation in each group of cells. The results are as follows Figure 4 As shown in (B), the first row shows the expression level of CDK2 protein in each group of cells, and the second row shows the expression level of reference protein in each group of cells.
[0224] In the first row, immunoblotting showed that the expression of CDK2 protein in the 10% MS deformation group was significantly higher than that in the Ctrl group, but the expression of CDK2 protein in the 10% deformation + IPA treatment group was significantly lower than that in the 10% MS deformation group, indicating that IPA can inhibit the increase in CDK2 expression in cells caused by 10% MS deformation. Figure 4 As shown in (C), the difference is statistically significant.
[0225] 3.3 Total RNA was extracted from cells in each group and RT-qPCR was performed to detect CDK2 mRNA levels. The results are as follows Figure 4 As shown in (D), it can be seen that the expression of CDK2 mRNA in the cells of the 10% MS deformation group was significantly increased compared with the control group, while the expression of CDK2 mRNA in the 10% MS deformation + IPA500μM treatment group was significantly decreased compared with the 10% MS deformation group, and the difference was statistically significant.
[0226] 3.4 Flow cytometry was used to detect the cell cycle changes in the above groups. The results are as follows Figure 4 As shown in (E), Figure 4 (E) The first two figures are the cell cycle changes of the Ctrl group and the 10% MS group, Figure 4 (E) The second row of two figures are the cell cycle changes of the 10% MS deformation + IPA500μM treatment group and the IPA treatment group. It can be seen that compared with the Ctrl group, the proportion of S phase (corresponding to S-Phase in the figure) in the 10% MS deformation group was significantly increased, and the G0 / G1 phase (corresponding to G0G1 in the figure) and G2 / M phase (corresponding to G2M in the figure) arrests were reduced, while the proportion of S phase in the 10% MS deformation + IPA500μM treatment group was significantly reduced compared with the 10% MS deformation group, and the G0 / G1 and G2 / M phase arrests increased. The statistical results are as follows Figure 4 As shown in (F), the difference is statistically significant.
[0227] It can be seen that 10% deformation treatment significantly increased the S phase level of cells, thereby increasing the cell proliferation and migration ability, and further adding IPA treatment to cells with this deformation can reverse the increase in the S phase level of smooth muscle cells in the cell cycle caused by deformation damage.
