TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of biological medicine, and particularly relates to application of MAGT1 small interfering RNA in preparation of a drug for treating uveitis. BACKGROUND
[0002] Uveitis is a major blinding eye disease worldwide, which is insidious in onset, often occurs in young adults, and has characteristics of repeated attacks and difficulty in radical cure. In developed countries, the number of blind people caused by uveitis accounts for 10% to 15% of the total number of blind people, and in developing countries, about 25% of irreversible blindness is caused by uveitis and its complications. Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) syndrome is one of the most common types of uveitis in China, which is characterized by repeated bilateral granulomatous panuveitis, and is an autoimmune disease that can involve multiple systems such as the auditory system, central nervous system, skin and hair. If not treated in time or the treatment plan is wrong, it often leads to severe visual loss or even blindness, and VKH syndrome can also cause complications such as secondary cataract, secondary glaucoma and optic nerve damage, thereby causing irreversible visual loss or visual function damage in patients.
[0003] Current studies have shown that environment, genetics, immunity and other factors are involved in the occurrence and development of VKH syndrome, especially CD4 + T cell-mediated immune response plays an important role in the pathogenesis of the disease. Previous studies have shown that Th1, Th17 / Treg cell imbalance plays an important role in the occurrence of VKH syndrome, but the exact mechanism of Th1, Th17 / Treg cell imbalance in the pathogenesis of the disease is not completely clear. Therefore, exploring the key molecules and mechanisms of VKH syndrome has become a problem to be solved in the current research of the disease.
[0004] Minerals are a class of indispensable micronutrients for the human body, and the deficiency of minerals is closely related to the occurrence and development of many diseases, and minerals play a very important role in immune regulation. At present, the role and mechanism of minerals in VKH syndrome are still unclear, and there is no report. Further exploring the pathogenesis of VKH syndrome by taking minerals as the research target and revealing the key molecules are expected to further improve the treatment effect, treatment safety and other aspects of the disease, and provide more optional treatment options for patients, and also provide more exploration paths for the pathogenesis of VKH syndrome.
[0005] Magnesium is a mineral necessary for maintaining life activities, is a more abundant divalent cation in cells, participates in protein synthesis, energy generation and storage and other basic biological processes, and can regulate the functions of the innate and adaptive immune systems. Magnesium Transporter 1 (MAGT1) is a magnesium ion transporter located on the cell membrane, which plays an important role in the glycoprotein N-glycosylation process of platelets. Studies have shown that MAGT1 gene deficiency is related to X-linked immunodeficiency and EB virus infection. At present, there are few studies on MAGT1, and there is no relevant research report on MAGT1 in autoimmune diseases, and the function and mechanism of MAGT1 in patients with VKH syndrome are still unknown. Therefore, the research on MAGT1 gene can provide a new target and an exploratory treatment plan for the treatment of VKH syndrome patients, and is expected to find a new breakthrough for the prevention and treatment of the disease.

[0010] Still further, the MAGT1 small interfering RNA reduces the expression amount of MAGT1 in CD4 + T cells, reduces the proportion of Th1 cells and Th17 cells in CD4 + T cells, and increases the proportion of Treg cells, thereby inhibiting uveitis.

[0016] Further, the drug for treating uveitis at least comprises an RNA as an active ingredient for interfering or reducing the expression of MAGT1.
[0017] Advantages of the present application: The present application uses ionomics technology and in vitro molecular experiments to find that the expression level of magnesium ion transporter gene MAGT1 in CD4 + T cells of VKH syndrome patients in the active stage is significantly increased, so the MGT1 small interfering RNA provided by the present application can efficiently knock down the expression of MGT1 protein, down-regulate the proportion of Th1 cells and Th17 cells in CD4 + T cells, and up-regulate the proportion of Treg cells, thereby inhibiting uveitis, especially Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome, which supplements the pathogenesis of uveitis and provides a new strategy for target treatment.

[0046] 9. Experimental results and analysis conclusion (1) MAGT1 is a key gene in the pathogenesis of VKH syndrome ① We used ionomics technology to detect the serum of 20 cases of active period without drug VKH syndrome patients and 20 cases of healthy controls, and set p value < 0.05 as the screening standard of differential ions, found that the content of 8 kinds of ions in the serum of VKH syndrome patients was significantly reduced, and the content of 1 kind of ion was significantly increased. In addition, we used ionomics technology to detect the CD4 + T cells in the peripheral blood of 6 cases of active period without drug VKH syndrome patients and 6 cases of healthy controls, and set p value < 0.05 as the screening standard of differential ions, found that the content of 5 kinds of ions in CD4 + T cells of VKH syndrome patients was significantly reduced.
[0047] ② Through integrated analysis of the ionomics results of serum and CD4 + T cells of VKH syndrome patients, we found that the content of magnesium ions in the serum and CD4 + T cells of VKH syndrome patients was significantly reduced, see Figure 1 .
[0048] ③ According to the ionomics sequencing results, we found that the VKH syndrome patients were magnesium deficient, so we set up a magnesium supplement experiment. Specifically, we isolated and extracted the CD4 + T cells of the above-mentioned VKH syndrome patients without drug, cultured them in vitro and added CD3 / 28 to stimulate cell activation, and at the same time, we treated the cells with 50 μM concentration of L-threonic acid magnesium (i.e. magnesium supplement treatment group, counted as 50 μM MgT group), and collected the cells for detection after 2 days of culture), we detected the effect of 50 μM magnesium ion supplement on CD4 +The influence on the balance of Th1, Th17 / Treg cells in CD4+T cells. From the flow cytometry results, we can see that compared with the negative control group (NC group), the proportion of Th1 and Th17 cells in the 50 μΜ MgT group was significantly reduced, while the proportion of Treg cells was significantly increased, see Figure 2 .
[0049] ③Then, we detected the expression of CD4 + T cells in 9 VKH syndrome patients and 9 healthy controls. We detected the expression of 5 common magnesium ion transporter genes (MAGT1, SLC41A1, TRPM7, NIPA1 and NIPA2) in CD4 + T cells by RT-qPCR. The results showed that only MAGT1 was differentially expressed when the p-value was set to be less than 0.5. The expression of MAGT1 in CD4 Figure 3 .
[0050] (2) The proportion of Th1 and Th17 cells in CD4 + T cells was reduced, and the proportion of Treg cells was increased after MAGT1 interference.
[0051] We isolated and extracted CD4+T cells from 3 VKH syndrome patients in active stage without medication, and found that compared with the siNC group, the proportion of Th1 and Th17 cells in the CD4 + T cells of the MAGT1-si1 and MAGT1-si2 groups was significantly reduced, and the proportion of Treg cells was significantly increased, i.e. inhibiting the expression of MAGT1 can reduce the proportion of Th1 and Th17 cells in CD4 + T cells, and increase the proportion of Treg cells, see Figure 4 . The above research results suggest that MAGT1 is a potential pathogenic molecule of VKH syndrome, which may induce the occurrence of the disease by regulating the balance of Th1, Th17 / Treg cells in CD4 + T cells.
