Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of biotechnology, and particularly relates to a Morchella bifunctional glycopeptide targeting immune regulation and anti-tumor. BACKGROUND
[0002] Morchella esculenta (L.) Pers., also known as Morchella, Morchella mushroom, and Morchella, belongs to the Ascomycota order Morchella genus, and is a rare medicinal and edible fungus. Morchella is recorded in Compendium of Materia Medica, which has the effects of benefiting the intestines and stomach, promoting digestion and food, reducing phlegm and regulating qi, tonifying the kidney and absorbing qi, and nourishing the brain and refreshing the mind. Morchella is rich in protein, polysaccharide, polypeptide, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients, and has broad application prospects in food, medicine, health products and other fields.
[0003] Glycopeptides are composed of peptide molecules and sugar molecules connected by glycopeptide bonds, and have more complex structures. Glycopeptides developed into drugs mainly focus on glycopeptide antibiotics (such as vancomycin, etc.), which are mainly used for the treatment of gram-positive bacterial infections, especially drug-resistant bacteria (such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, MRSA). Glycopeptide drugs on the market or in clinical use are mainly derived from natural products of microorganisms (such as actinomycetes and streptomycetes), and some are improved in properties by chemical modification (semisynthesis).
[0004] TLR4 (Toll-like receptor 4) is a key pattern recognition receptor of the innate immune system, which mainly recognizes pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs, such as bacterial lipopolysaccharide LPS) and damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). The molecular recognition of TLR4 mainly depends on its interaction with MD-2 protein. MD-2 is a cofactor of TLR4, and MD-2 has a hydrophobic pocket which is the core region of molecular binding. If combined with the acidic residues (such as Asp, Glu) of TLR4, it can promote the dimerization of TLR4 and the activation of signal, and can play the role of agonist. If the MD-2 pocket is occupied, it can competitively inhibit the binding of LPS and block excessive inflammatory response, and play the role of antagonist.
[0005] VEGFR2 (vascular endothelial cell growth factor receptor-2) is an important target for tumor treatment. VEGFR2 belongs to the tyrosine kinase receptor, and the ATP binding pocket of the kinase domain of VEGFR2 is the core region of catalytic phosphotransfer reaction. Its catalytic key residue Lys868 is involved in the positioning of the gamma-phosphate group of ATP, stabilizing the transition state, and mutation of the residue will significantly reduce the kinase activity; Asp1046 is located in the catalytic loop (Catalytic Loop), which can stabilize the transition state of ATP hydrolysis, and mutation of the residue will significantly reduce the kinase activity. 2+Ion coordination, coordination of ATP triphosphate group; Cys919 is located at the entrance of ATP binding pocket, which is the target of covalent inhibitors (such as apatinib) and can form reversible / irreversible covalent bond. Hinge region residues Glu885 and Val888 form hydrogen bonds with ATP adenine ring, which are the binding sites of most ATP competitive inhibitors. DFG motif Asp1046-Phe1047-Gly1048 (D-F-G) determines the activity state of the kinase, and after binding to the hydrophobic pocket in the DFG-out conformation (such as regorafenib), the kinase activation can be blocked. Therefore, the ATP binding pocket of VEGFR2 is the core target of antitumor drugs, and the key sites such as hinge region (Glu885 / Val888), catalytic residues (Lys868 / Asp1046) and Cys919 provide a structural basis for inhibitor optimization.
[0006] Macrophages play an important role in many diseases and are the main participants of the body's innate immune response. In vitro cell experiments, LPS is used to induce the establishment of a macrophage inflammation model. LPS promotes the activation of macrophages through the TLR4 pathway and stimulates macrophages to secrete various inflammatory factors and inflammatory mediators. NO, as an inflammatory mediator secreted by macrophages, is a common indicator for observing the immune activity of macrophages. Macrophages are divided into M1 and M2 types according to the type of immune response. TNF-alpha, IL-1 beta, IL-6, IL-12, NO are the marker cytokines of M1 type macrophages. LPS is used to treat RAW264.7 macrophages, and by analyzing the decrease in the secretion level of the above marker cytokines after intervention of the active substance, the role of the active substance in immune regulation and anti-tumor can be determined.

[0066] 1. Analysis of Morchella glycopeptide activity at the cellular level
[0067] Macrophages play an important role in many diseases and are the main participants in the body's innate immune response. In in vitro cell tests, a macrophage inflammation model is established by using LPS induction. LPS promotes the activation of macrophages through the TLR4 pathway and stimulates macrophages to secrete various inflammatory factors and inflammatory mediators. NO, as an inflammatory mediator secreted by macrophages, is a common indicator for observing the immune activity of macrophages. Macrophages are divided into M1 and M2 types according to the type of immune response. TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, NO, etc. are the marker cytokines of M1 type macrophages. RAW264.7 macrophages were treated with LPS, and by analyzing the decrease in the secretion level of the above marker cytokines after the intervention of Morchella glycopeptide, the role of Morchella glycopeptide in immune regulation and anti-tumor was determined.
[0068] RAW264.7 macrophages were cultured using complete culture medium, which was composed of DMEM high glucose culture medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum and 100 U / mL penicillin, 100 μg / mL streptomycin. Cells in the logarithmic growth phase were inoculated in a 96-well plate (1×10 6 The blank group (normal cultured RAW264.7 cells), the LPS-induced cultured RAW264.7 cell group (LPS group), and the RAW264.7 cell group cultured after induction with Morchella glycopeptide LPS(Fuc)PMLLPQ (200 μM) (glycopeptide group) were set. The LPS group was cultured by adding LPS (2 μM) to the RAW264.7 cells and incubating at 37°C for 24 h. The glycopeptide group was cultured by discarding the cell culture medium after 24 h of LPS induction, adding complete culture medium containing 200 μM Morchella glycopeptide LPS(Fuc)PMLLPQ, and incubating at 37°C for 24 h. The cell culture medium obtained from each group was collected and centrifuged at 1500 r / min for 5 min to collect the supernatant. The Griess kit (Hangzhou Gaosheng Biological Technology Co., Ltd.) was used to detect the level of nitric oxide (NO) secreted by macrophages. The ELISA kit (Shanghai Genechem Co., Ltd.) was used to determine the content of inflammatory factors IL-6, IL-12, IL-1β, and TNF-α secreted by cells.
[0069] The results of the effect of Morchella glycopeptide LPS(Fuc)PMLLPQ on the secretion of cytokines by RAW264.7 are shown in Table 1.Figure 3 As shown in the results, the secretion levels of NO, IL-6, IL-12, IL-1β and TNF-α were significantly increased in the LPS group, indicating that LPS induced an inflammatory response in RAW264.7 macrophages. The amount of NO released, the secretion levels of IL-6, IL-12, IL-1β and TNF-α were significantly reduced in the Morchella glycopeptide LPS(Fuc)PMLLPQ treatment group, among which the amount of NO released decreased by 49.75%, and the secretion amounts of IL-6, IL-12, IL-1β and TNF-α decreased by 42.11%, 48.57%, 47.44% and 46.03%, respectively, indicating that Morchella glycopeptide regulates macrophage function, inhibits inflammatory response, and significantly down-regulates the levels of pro-inflammatory factors (significance analysis P value < 0.0001), and has immunoregulatory and anti-tumor activities.
[0070] 2. Analysis of Morchella glycopeptide activity by molecular docking
[0071] The crystal structures of immune receptor protein TLR4 (PDB: 3FXI) and tumor treatment target receptor protein VEGFR2 (PDB ID: 3VHE) were downloaded from the RCSB database (https: / / www.rcsb.org / ). https: / / www.rcsb.org / The crystal structure of the receptor protein was optimized by MOE 2019 molecular docking software, and the water molecules were removed and the hydrogen atoms were supplemented. The 3D structure of Morchella glycopeptide was constructed by MOE software, and the molecular energy minimization process was performed. The Site Finder module of MOE was used to determine the active site of the amino acid residues of the receptor protein. The docking score, the number of bonds and the binding energy of the glycopeptide and the receptor protein were used as screening indicators to select the tight binding complex of the glycopeptide and the receptor protein. The MOE software was used to analyze the binding site and action mode between the glycopeptide molecule and the receptor protein in the complex.
[0072] Eighteen hydrogen bond interaction forces were formed between the Morchella glycopeptide molecule LPS(Fuc)PMLLPQ and the TLR4 molecule, with a binding energy of -33.3 kcal / mol, in which the binding energy of the peptide molecule binding to TLR4 was -30.6 kcal / mol, and the binding energy of the sugar molecule binding to TLR4 was -2.7 kcal / mol. In the Morchella glycopeptide molecule, the peptide molecule formed a binding bond with the acidic residue GLU439 of TLR4. The oxygen atom in the fucose molecule binds to GLN505, which is also a key amino acid residue that can block the binding of LPS to TLR4. In summary, the Morchella glycopeptide molecule LPS(Fuc)PMLLPQ binds to TLR4 to block the inflammatory response (Table 2, Figure 4 ).
[0073] Table 2 Docking results of Morchella glycopeptide molecule LPS(Fuc)PMLLPQ and TLR4 molecule
[0074]
[0075]
[0076] The LPS(Fuc)PMLLPQ of the Morchella sugar peptide molecule forms 11 hydrogen bonds and 1 H-pi interaction force with the VEGFR2 molecule, and the binding energy is-21.3 kcal / mol, in which the binding energy of the peptide molecule binding with VEGFR2 is-12.6 kcal / mol, and the binding energy of the sugar molecule binding with VEGFR2 is-8.7 kcal / mol. In the Morchella sugar peptide molecule, the peptide molecule targets and binds with CYS919, forming a hydrogen bond interaction force with a binding energy of-8.5 kcal / mol, and this residue is also the binding site of the covalent inhibitor, so that binding with this residue can enhance the persistence of the molecule. In the Morchella sugar peptide molecule, the oxygen atom in the fucose forms a hydrogen bond interaction force with the catalytic key amino acid residues ASP1046 and LYS868 in the form of an ATP competitive inhibitor, and forms an H-pi interaction force with PHE1047, thereby blocking the kinase activation. In summary, the LPS(Fuc)PMLLPQ of the Morchella sugar peptide molecule targets and binds with the ATP binding pocket of the tumor-related receptor protein VEGFR2, thereby significantly inhibiting the activity of VEGFR2 (Table 3, Figure 5 ).
[0077] Table 3: Docking results of the Morchella sugar peptide molecule LPS(Fuc)PMLLPQ and the VEGFR2 molecule
[0078]
[0079]
[0080] The above results show that the Morchella sugar peptide of the present application can effectively bind to the immune receptor protein TLR4 and the tumor treatment target receptor protein VEGFR2, and has a good inhibitory effect thereon, thereby indicating that the Morchella sugar peptide of the present application has immunomodulatory and anti-tumor activity.
[0081] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, and it should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several improvements and refinements without departing from the principles of the present application, and these improvements and refinements should also be considered as the protection scope of the present application.
