Abstract
Description
Pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating diseases related to endoplasmic reticulum stress
[0001] The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating diseases related to endoplasmic reticulum stress.
[0002] The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is an organelle within eukaryotic cells that has a network-like structure made up of flat and tubular structures surrounded by membranes. It performs various functions such as protein synthesis, lipid synthesis, and transport of substances within the cell. Depending on the presence or absence of ribosomes, it is classified into the rough endoplasmic reticulum with attached ribosomes and the smooth endoplasmic reticulum without ribosomes. About one-third of the proteins in the cell become active protein structures through posttranslational modifications from mRNA to proteins in the rough ER, such as folding, assembly, glycation, and disulfide bonds. In addition, the smooth ER is a site for lipid and sterol synthesis and plays an important role in regulating intracellular calcium concentrations as a calcium storage device.
[0003] Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress refers to a condition in which immature proteins exceeding the ER's ability to process are introduced into the ER due to physiological or pathological circumstances, or calcium in the ER is depleted, which causes ER function to be impaired. It mainly refers to a state in which the ER protein folding load is exceeded by exceeding the protein folding capacity. When ER stress occurs, cells have a defense mechanism to survive, and this defense mechanism is mediated through the PERK (pancreatic endoplasmic reticulum kinase), IRE-1α / XBP-1 (inositol-requiring enzyme 1α / X-box binding protein 1), and ATF6 (Activating Transcription Factor 6) pathways, and this is called the ER stress response.
[0004] Diseases caused by ER stress are extremely diverse, including Parkinson's disease, glutaminase-induced aggregation disorders, Huntington's disease, Alzheimer's disease, ischemic diseases, cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, bipolar disorder, diabetes mellitus, atherosclerosis, inflammation, ischemia, heart diseases, liver diseases, kidney diseases, and cancer. Therefore, active research is underway to develop treatments for related diseases by modulating ER stress.
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a composition for preventing, treating or improving diseases related to endoplasmic reticulum stress.
[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating diseases related to endoplasmic reticulum stress, which comprises as an active ingredient a peptide or polypeptide composed of an amino acid sequence represented by the following general formula I.
[0007] Ser-Arg-X1-Thr-X2-Asp-Tyr-Leu (I)
[0008] The above X1 and X2 are one selected from the group consisting of Gly, Ala, Ser, Pro, Val, Thr, Cys, Ile, Leu, Asn, Asp, Gln, Lys, Glu, Met, His, Phe, Sec, Arg, Tyr and Trp.
[0009] In addition, the present invention provides a health functional food composition for preventing or improving diseases related to endoplasmic reticulum stress, which comprises the peptide or polypeptide as an active ingredient.
[0010] According to the present invention, it has been confirmed that a peptide having a specific amino acid sequence exhibits effects of suppressing endoplasmic reticulum stress; suppressing fat synthesis; and reducing intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) or calcium concentration, and thus can be usefully utilized as a composition for preventing, treating, or improving diseases related to endoplasmic reticulum stress.
[0011] Figure 1 shows the results of analyzing the effect of the STD peptide (hereinafter referred to as “sample”) prepared in Experimental Example 1 below on endoplasmic reticulum stress.
[0012] Figure 2 shows the results of analyzing the effect of the sample on fat synthesis.
[0013] Figure 3 shows the results of analyzing the binding strength of the sample and TRABID.
[0014] Figures 4 and 5 show the results of analyzing the fatty liver improvement effect of the sample using the animal model produced in Experimental Example 5 below. Specifically, Figure 4 shows the experimental results for an animal model in which the sample was intravenously injected into the tail; and Figure 5 shows the experimental results for an animal model in which the sample was subcutaneously injected.
[0015] Figure 6 shows the results of analyzing the effect of the sample on intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and calcium concentration.
[0016] Figure 7 shows the results of analyzing the effect of a ring-shaped, modified sample manufactured based on a sample on fat synthesis.

The lysates were centrifuged at 10,000 × g for 10 min at 4°C, and the supernatants were collected. Western blot analysis was performed according to the Western blotting kit manufacturer's instructions, and the proteins were separated by sodium dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and transferred to immobilon-P membranes. Specific proteins were then detected using the enhanced chemiluminescence Western blotting detection system.

[0079] Six-week-old C57BL / 6J male mice (purchased from Zabio Co., Ltd.) were individually housed in dedicated cages under a 12 / 12-hour light / dark cycle. Samples were injected intravenously (Example 4-1) or subcutaneously (Example 4-2) into the tail of the mice at various concentrations, and 6 hours later, tunicamycin (TM) (1.5 mg / kg) was injected intraperitoneally to induce acute fatty liver disease (n=6). Afterwards, the mice were sacrificed by administering an inhalation anesthetic (isoflurane, approximately 2 ml) (an anesthetic soaked in cotton) and their blood and liver tissues were isolated. Whole blood samples were centrifuged to separate serum and submitted for analysis. Proteins were extracted from liver tissues and subjected to Western blot analysis (Experimental Example 3) to measure protein expression.
