摘要:

胰岛素样生长因子1是一种潜在的神经修复营养因子,但由于半衰期短、清除速度快且靶向目标特异性有限,因而不能成为一种有效的治疗方法。作者希望为其绑定一个特异性结构,以实现进行有针对性、持久治疗的可能。为此,实验将胰岛素样生长因子1与胶原结合结构域融合,并使用酶标仪检测其与胶原蛋白的亲和能力,并转染在PC12细胞和许旺细胞中,以MTT测定细胞增殖情况表达靶蛋白,免疫荧光染色检测神经丝和微管相关蛋白2表达,以实时PCR检测胰岛素样生长因子1受体和神经生长因子mRNA表达情况。结果显示,与胰岛素样生长因子1相比,重组蛋白的胶原结合活性明显增加,且该蛋白可促进PC12细胞和许旺细胞的增殖,以及PC12细胞中神经丝和微管相关蛋白2的表达。此外该重组蛋白还能刺激胰岛素样生长因子1受体和神经生长因子mRNA的长期稳定表达。表明构建的胶原结合结构域修饰的胰岛素样生长因子1可到达靶向持续治疗的目的,可能成为一种临床上使用的具有持续治疗作用的促进神经再生因子。

Abstract:

Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) is a potential nutrient for nerve repair. However, it is impractical as a therapy because of its limited halflife,rapid clearance, and limited target specificity. To achieve targeted and long-lasting treatment, we investigated the addition of a binding structure by fusing a collagen-binding domain to IGF-1. After confirming its affinity for collagen, the biological activity of this construct was examined by measuring cell proliferation after transfection into PC12 and Schwann cells using a 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2-H-tetrazolium bromide assay. Immunofluorescence staining was conducted to detect neurofilament and microtubule-associated protein 2 expression, while real time-polymerase chain reaction was utilized to determine IGF-1 receptor and nerve growth factor mRNA expression. Our results demonstrate a significant increase in collagen-binding activity of the recombinant protein compared with IGF-1.Moreover, the recombinant protein promoted proliferation of PC12 and Schwann cells, and increased the expression of neurofilament and microtubule-associated protein 2. Importantly, the recombinant protein also stimulated sustained expression of IGF-1 receptor and nerve growth factor mRNA for days. These results show that the recombinant protein achieved the goal of targeting and long-lasting treatment,and thus could become a clinically used factor for promoting nerve regeneration with a prolonged therapeutic effect.
