[0051] See the high-performance liquid chromatogram and mass spectrum of the peptide compound. Figure 1 and Figure 2 .
[0052] Test Example 1: Cytotoxicity Test of Stapler Peptide Compound HFF-1 cells were seeded into 96-well plates, with 200 μL of culture medium (approximately 10,000 cells / well) added to each well to ensure uniform cell density. The plates were incubated overnight at 37°C with 5% CO2 to allow cell adhesion. After 24 hours, the culture medium was aspirated, and 200 μL of DMEM medium containing different concentrations of the stapling peptide compound PR2498 (0 μM, 1 μM, 5 μM, 10 μM, 50 μM, 100 μM, 500 μM) was added. The 96-well plates were then returned to the incubator for further incubation. After 24 hours, the absorbance was measured at 490 nm using the MTT assay with a microplate reader. A control group (containing only culture medium and no cells) was also included. Cell viability was calculated as (experimental group absorbance - control group absorbance / control group absorbance - control group absorbance) × 100% to determine the cytotoxicity of the stapling peptide compound and its safe concentration range.
[0053] See results Figure 3 ,according to Figure 3 It can be seen that the epithelial cells treated with different concentrations of stapling peptide compound did not show a significant decrease in cell viability. At a concentration of 500 μM, the cell viability remained at 97% relative to the control group, confirming that the stapling peptide compound has extremely low cytotoxicity.
[0054] Test Example 2: Serum Stability Test of Staple Peptide Compounds The lyophilized staple peptide compound PR2498 was directly dissolved in 10% fetal bovine serum to a final concentration of 1 mg / mL. After sterile filtration through a 0.22 μM filter, the solution was placed in a sterile container and incubated at 37°C. Samples were taken at predetermined time points (0 min, 15 min, 30 min, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h, 8 h, 24 h, 48 h). The residue of the staple peptide compound was determined using analytical high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), with the content at time 0 as 100%. The decomposition ratio was calculated by comparing the peak areas at different time points. The calculation formula was: Relative content = (Peak area of test sample / Peak area of test sample at time 0) × 100%. A curve of residue percentage versus time was plotted, and the half-life was calculated.
[0055] See results Figure 4 ,according to Figure 4 It can be seen that the staple peptide compound PR2498 is nearly completely degraded in 10% serum after 48 hours, and its half-life is calculated to be about 11.5 hours based on the degradation curve.
[0056] Test Example 3: Regulation of gene expression of various types of collagen by staple peptide compounds HFF-1 fibroblasts in logarithmic growth phase were seeded at 50,000 cells / well into 6-well plates. 2 mL of culture medium was added to each well, and the plates were incubated overnight to allow cells to adhere and grow for 24 hours. Cells were then divided into groups: a 10 μM DMEM medium containing the stapling peptide compound PR2498 was used as a control group; a DMEM blank control group and a 100 ng / mL TGF-β1 positive control group were also established.
[0057] After 24 hours of treatment, the culture medium was removed, and RNA was extracted from cells in each well. The Ct value was detected by qRT-PCR to determine the expression level of type I collagen mRNA in HFF-1 cells at different concentrations. The expression level was calculated using the formula: relative RNA expression level = 2ΔΔC(t).
[0058] Plot the results, and express the results as Mean ± SD. The t-test was used for comparisons between groups. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant (marked * in the figure), and P < 0.01 was considered highly significant (marked ** in the figure).
[0059] The upregulation rate is calculated using the formula: Upregulation rate = (Sample group - Blank control group) / Blank control group * 100%.
[0060] See results Figures 5-12 ,according to Figures 5-12 It can be seen that, compared with the blank control group, the expression levels of various collagen genes in the positive control group were significantly increased after TGF-β1 treatment, proving that the cell model and qPCR system were working normally.
[0061] Compared with the blank control group, treatment with 10 μM stapling peptide compound PR2498 significantly positively regulated the expression of various collagen genes. Specifically, COLⅠ expression was upregulated by 32%, COLⅢ by 49%, COLⅣ by 142%, COLⅤ by 55%, COLⅥ by 25%, COLⅦ by 46%, COLⅩⅥ by 29%, and COLⅩⅧ by 49%.
