20190031717
This application relates in general to biopharmaceuticals and, in particular, to a a novel multi-functional fusion polypeptide and its preparation method and application thereof.
Pulmonary fibrosis, especially idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), has long been considered as a progressive, largely irreversible pathological change. The 5-year mortality rate of IPF patients after diagnosis is 65%, a serious threat to public health. Because current treatment regiments have little effect, there is not even a consensus treatment plan for IPF. The most common symptom of pulmonary fibrosis is: difficulty breathing. In mild pulmonary fibrosis, dyspnea often occurs during periods of intense activity and is often overlooked or misdiagnosed as other diseases. When pulmonary fibrosis progresses, breathing difficulties occur at rest, and progressive pulmonary dysfunction can occur in patients with severe pulmonary fibrosis.
A variety of factors can cause pulmonary fibrosis, such as occupational dust inhalation, radiation damage and certain drugs (bleomycin). In addition, there is a class of unexplained pulmonary fibrosis (such as IPF). Although the causes are different, the development of pulmonary fibrosis is basically analogous, that is, it begins with the infiltration of inflammatory cells in the lower respiratory tract, which causes damage to alveolar epithelial cells and vascular endothelial cells, accompanied by the release of cytokines causing proliferation of myofibroblast (MF) and type II alveolar epithelial cells, which in turn leads to deposition of extracellular matrix proteins and collagen, which ultimately causes damage to the lung structure. Lung injury caused by various reasons has obvious inflammatory state at the initial stage, and the inflammatory state of pulmonary fibrosis is not obvious at the late stage, which may be an important factor for the loss of efficacy for anti-inflammatory therapy during the treatment of pulmonary fibrosis.
A recent study on the mechanism of pulmonary fibrosis found that the peptide Ile-Val-Arg-Arg-Ala-Asp-Arg-Ala-Ala-Val-Pro was a sequence of human angiogenesis endostatin that inhibits angiogenesis. The tripeptide Arg-Gly-Asp was found to specifically bind to the integrin protein expressed on the surface of neovascularization. The fusion peptide incorporating the above two peptides has been used for anti-tumor treatment and anti-rheumatoid treatment (Patent Publication No.: CN1699408A). The polypeptide Pro-(D-Pyr)-(D-Cys)-Bip-Arg-Gly-Glu (Patent Publication No.: CN102746380A) was found to inhibit the activity of extracellular matrix metalloproteinases. At present, the above described short peptides have been applied for the treatment of tumor and rheumatoid diseases, but they can only work towards a single target, and cannot simultaneously target multiple targets. Tumor cells are more prone to develop drug resistance against single-target drugs, compared to multi-target drugs.
In view of the problems of the existing polypeptide drugs including single-target, being prone to develop drug resistance, and lacking efficacy in treating pulmonary fibrosis, the present invention provides a multi-functional fusion polypeptide, and its preparation method thereof and application thereof. The multi-functional fusion polypeptide can effectively treat human pulmonary fibrosis, lung tissue lesions, lung cancer and other tumors. The multi-functional fusion polypeptide of the present invention comprises a plurality of domains targeting a plurality of targets. In the pulmonary fibrosis cell model, the multi-functional fusion polypeptide of the present invention can significantly reduce the hydroxyproline level in the model cells and inhibit the progression of pulmonary fibrosis.

The invention is further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
In the present embodiment, the polypeptides I-VI are synthesized by a solid phase synthesis method, and are separated and purified by preparative HPLC, and the purity of the polypeptide is determined by an analytical high-performance liquid chromatography.
The solid phase synthesis method for polypeptides I-VI is based on the solid phase carrier Fmoc-wang-resin (Jill Biochemical Co., Ltd.), wherein protected amino acids are sequentially added to form dipeptide, tripeptide, etc., until the 29-amino acid polypeptide terminal products. After all amino acids are added, the 29-amino acid polypeptide is fully washed, cleaved from the resin, and post-treated to yield a crude product. The crude product is dissolved, purified by preparative high-performance liquid chromatography twice, concentrated and lyophilized to obtain a pure product, and finally purified by a third HPLC purification to obtain a refined polypeptide product. This method not only ensures the efficiency of the synthesis, but also improves the purity of the product.
The steps for polypeptide synthesis (including elongating peptide from dipeptide to 29- or 17- or 13-amino acid polypeptides) are as follows:
1. Weigh 1.5 g of solid phase carrier Fmoc-wang-resin, pour into the glass sand core reaction column, add 5 mL of anhydrous DMF (dimethylformamide) to fully expand the resin for 2 hours, and remove the solvent DMF under reduced pressure.

Condensation: according to the pre-designated amino acid sequence of the polypeptide, the Fmoc-modified monomeric amino acid used for the polypeptide synthesis is dissolved in 5 mL of DMF, 0.5 mL DIEA (N,N-diisopropylethylamine) is added, and the reaction mix is added into a reaction vessel, let react for 2 hours under N2 blow, remove the reaction solution by filtering, add 5 mL of methanol and perform blocking reaction for 1 hour, wash the resin three times with 15 mL of DCM (dichloromethane).
d. Washing: drain the reaction solution, wash the resin thoroughly with 15 mL of DMF to wash off by-products.
e. Cleaving: the dried resin is placed in a round bottom flask, cleavage solution is added to fully cleave the synthesized 29-peptide intermediate, and the resin is separated from the polypeptide by a sand core funnel, wherein the cleavage solution is composed of trifluoroacetic acid:phenol:water:thioanisole:EDT=90:3:3:2:2 by volume.
2. The post-treatment steps are as follows: first add anhydrous ether to the cleavage solution to precipitate the polypeptide, then centrifuge, pour off the supernatant, then wash the polypeptide with anhydrous ether, and drain to obtain the crude polypeptide.
3. The steps for purification are as follows:
a. Dissolve: weigh the crude product into a 5-20 g/L solution and filter it with a 0.45 μm mixed filter.

4. Purity testing. The purified product after lyophilization was collected, and the purity of the polypeptide was examined by analytical RP-HPLC. The analysis conditions were: mobile phase: CAN (+0.1% TFA), H2O (+0.1% TFA); acetonitrile (CAN) linear gradient: 15%-100%; flow rate: 1.5 mL/min; running time: 30 min; Sample size: 20 μL; detection wavelength: 220 nm.
In this experiment, the solid phase synthesis method was successfully used to synthesize the polypeptide. This method has high reproducibility, high operability, low pollution, and incorporates reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography for the purification of the polypeptides. Separation is enhanced using gradient elution compared to isocratic elution. The separation process has a reasonable retention time, high production efficiency, and high purity.
In the present embodiment, the polypeptides I-VI are synthesized by a liquid phase synthesis method, separated and purified by preparative HPLC, and the purity of the polypeptide is determined by an analytical HPLC. The following is the synthetic step of polypeptide I. The synthesis steps of polypeptides II-VI are the same as that of the polypeptide I.
The polypeptide I synthesis steps are as follows:
1. According to the sequence of polypeptide I, 1 mg of the first amino acid Pro and 1 mg of the second amino acid D-Pyr are linked by an amide bond in 10 mL of dichloromethane, and the inactive groups of the amino acid participating in the reaction is modified with Fmoc.
2. Add 10 mL of ammonia water to the above reaction system to remove the Fmoc group.
3. Repeat the reaction of the first step by adding the third amino acid D-Cys according to the sequence of the polypeptide I and link the third amino acid D-Cys with the dipeptide. The inactive group of the amino acid is modified with Fmoc.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the entire polypeptide sequence Pro-(D-Pyr)-(D-Cys)-Bip-Arg-Gly-Glu-Gly-Gly-Gly-Gly-Ile-Val-Arg-Arg-Ala-Asp-Arg-Ala-Ala-Val-Pro-Gly-Gly-Gly-Gly-Arg-Gly-Asp is synthesized.

Establishment of an In Vitro Pulmonary Fibrosis Model
Human non-small cell lung cancer cells A549 were cultured in DMEM medium containing 10% (volume fraction) fetal bovine serum, cultured in a carbon dioxide incubator with a volume fraction of 5% at 37° C., and changed once every other day, depending on cell density. A549 cells in logarithmic growth phase were digested with 0.25% trypsin to prepare a cell suspension, adjusted to a cell concentration of 1×109 cells/L, and seeded at a density of 4×105 cells/cm2 in a cell culture dish of 90 cm2. The cells were randomly divided into two groups: (1) control group: cultured in DMEM containing 10% (volume fraction) fetal bovine serum; (2) model group: containing 10% (volume fraction) fetal bovine serum, transforming growth factor (TGF-β1, final concentration 5 μg/L) was cultured in DMEM. The cells were cultured at 37° C. in a volumetric 5% carbon dioxide incubator, and changed every other day, depending on the cell density. Cell morphology was observed daily using an inverted microscope to determine when the model was established. When A549 cells are changed from the cobblestone shape of the original epithelial cells to the long spindle shape of the interstitial cells, the modeling is successfully established.
Experimental Procedure for Treating Pulmonary Fibrosis with the Fusion Polypeptides
A549 cells not induced by TGF-β1 were used as the control group; the A549 cells induced by TGF-β1 and serving as the lung fibrosis model were further divided into multiple groups, one of which does not receive any drug and serves as a model group control, and the rest of the groups were administered with the polypeptides of different doses. After 48 hours of addition of the polypeptides, the cells of the control group, the model group, and the administration group were collected for subsequent measurement of molecular markers related to pulmonary fibrosis.
Determination of Hydroxyproline Content in Cells
Human specimen experiments show that a large amount of collagen accumulates in the late stage of pulmonary fibrosis, and the amount of collagen reflects the level of pulmonary fibrosis. Hydroxyproline accounts for 13.4% of collagen, so the content of hydroxyproline can reflect the accumulation of collagen during pulmonary fibrosis, which in turn reflects the degree of pulmonary fibrosis.
Prepare citric acid buffer: 120 g of sodium citrate, 12 mL of glacial acetic acid, 46 g of citric acid, 34 g of sodium hydroxide, dissolved in distilled water, adjust the pH to 6.0, and then dilute to 1000 mL.

Heat in a water bath to completely dissolve and cool to room temperature, then slowly add the A solution to B and mix well.
Prepare a 3.5 mol/L perchloric acid solution: take 27 mL of perchloric acid and dilute to 100 mL with distilled water.
The specific steps are as follows: collect the cells in a 1 mL water solution and lyse the cells using a homogenizer; adjust the pH to neutral, dilute to 3 mL, add activated carbon to centrifuge; take 1 mL supernatant, add 1 mL solution 1 (1 mL citrate buffer and 1 mL 0.05 mol/L chloramine T solution), stand for 10 minutes, add 1 mL of perchloric acid, stand for 5 minutes, add 1 mL of p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde reagent, keep in 60° C. water bath for 15 minutes; centrifuge at 3500 rpm/min for 10 minutes, take the supernatant to measure the absorbance value at a wavelength of 550 nm.
The test was repeated 3 times independently, and the inhibition rate was calculated as follows: inhibition rate (%)=(1−experimental group absorbance/model group absorbance)×100%. Table 4 shows the inhibition rate of the hydroxyproline content in the pulmonary fibrosis model of the polypeptides of the present invention.

To build the mouse pneumonia model, BALB/C mice with a body mass of 16-22 g were selected and anesthetized pneumonia chain was prepared after anesthesia with ether on day 0, day 1, and day 2. Staphylococcal fluid, adenovirus concentrate, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Chlamydia pneumoniae, protozoa, and pneumonia fungi were slowly dripped into the nasal cavity of the mice, so that they enter the tracheobronchial. During the operation process, care was exercised to prevent bacterial fluid from flowing into the esophagus, which leads to inactivation the bacterial fluid.
