AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing anti-aging interventions, such as small molecule drugs, lack sufficient targeting and have systemic side effects. Antibody drugs are costly to prepare and have limited tissue penetration. Peptide molecules have advantages in terms of structural designability and tissue penetration, but further optimization is needed to achieve SASP that specifically antagonizes aging cells.

Method used

An active peptide was designed by mimicking the helical structure of the IL-6R protein, binding to the Site II region of the gp130 receptor, optimizing the amino acid sequence to H2N-FFGFLGRYFQKWEKLRNQ, and introducing the FF-GFLG module to achieve self-assembly and enzyme cleavage recognition. The preparation method includes peptide synthesis, cleavage, and precipitation steps.

Benefits of technology

It achieves specific intervention on senescent cells, blocks IL-6R signal transduction, inhibits the secretion of pro-inflammatory factors, delays cell senescence, promotes tissue repair, and achieves long-term delivery and local release through self-assembled nanostructures.

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of functional polypeptides, and particularly relates to an active peptide for senescent cells and a preparation method thereof.The active peptide is obtained through molecular docking simulation screening and optimization by taking a helical structural segment, combined with gp130 protein, in IL-6R protein as a polypeptide template; the functional optimized active peptide contains an FF unit for driving nano self-assembly, a GFLG unit which can be subjected to specific enzyme digestion by lysosomal protease which is highly expressed in a senescence cell microenvironment, and an RYFQKWEKLRNQ unit which generates high affinity with an IL-6 / IL-6R / gp130 compound, and the designed active peptide has anti-aging activity and can also be used for collaborative delivery of drugs. Wide application prospects are realized.
