Abstract
The invention provides application of chlamydia protein pgp3 in preparation of a medicament for inhibiting salpingitis. Experimental research proves that pgp3 can be specifically combined with TNF-alpha, and can effectively inhibit TNF-alpha mediated host cell apoptosis after combination, so that the growth cycle of chlamydia in the host cell is ensured; pgp3 induces an inflammatory response in fallopian tube epithelial cells, which is synergistically enhanced upon binding of TNF- α.
Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of biological medicines, and particularly relates to application of chlamydia protein Pgp3 in preparation of a medicament for inhibiting salpingitis.
Background
Chlamydia trachomatis is a gram-negative obligate intracellular parasitic prokaryote that needs to be parasitic in host cells for growth and reproduction. Vaccination may be more effective than other biomedical interventions in controlling chlamydial infection, but vaccines that are effective in inducing mucosal and systemic protective responses have not been well developed due to the immunological properties of the reproductive tract and the infectious properties of chlamydia against mucosal epidermal cells.
The inflammatory reaction is a common reaction after chlamydia trachomatis infects genital tracts, which is usually manifested as dilation and hydrops of the fallopian tubes and infiltration of neutrophils, and the long-term inflammatory reaction can cause fibrosis and blockage of the fallopian tubes and further can cause tubal infertility. The pathogenicity of the oviduct of chlamydia depends on the one hand on the ability of the chlamydia to ascend infections and on the other hand on the ability of the chlamydia to induce inflammatory responses. Although it has been confirmed in vitro and in vivo experiments: chlamydia trachomatis infection can cause tubal lesions, but the pathogenic mechanism thereof has not been clarified at present. To survive and cause disease, many bacteria have their own strategies to combat the attack of antimicrobial peptides, such as secretion of agents that bind to or degrade antimicrobial peptides. In the case of chlamydia, the plasmid and the protein encoded by it are a well-defined factor that can protect against antimicrobial peptides. Although chlamydia has different serotypes, its plasmid structure is highly conserved, with pgp3 being the most important of all proteins encoded by the plasmid, and the only protein secreted into the cytoplasm. Current studies indicate that pgp3 is an important virulence factor for chlamydia.
pgp3 is encoded by a chlamydia plasmid and is the only protein efficiently secreted into the cytosol of the cell, accumulates as a trimer into the cytosol of the host cell at the late stages of infection, and upon rupture of the host cell, pgp3 is released extracellularly prior to EB, directly contacting the host's internal environment.
However, the current state of research is still unclear as to how pgp3 causes salpingitis.
Disclosure of Invention
In view of the above, the invention aims to overcome the defects in the prior art and provides an application of chlamydia protein Pgp3 in preparing a medicament for inhibiting salpingitis.
In order to achieve the purpose, the technical scheme of the invention is realized as follows:
in a first aspect, the invention provides the use of chlamydia protein pgp3 in the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of infertility in the fallopian tube.
Preferably, the infertility of fallopian tube is infertility caused by salpingitis.
Preferably, the salpingitis is a tubal lesion caused by chlamydia protein pgp 3.
Preferably, the medicament inhibits the development of salpingitis by inhibiting the binding of the chlamydia protein Pgp3 to the tumor necrosis factor TNF- α.
In a second aspect, the present invention provides an inflammation inducing agent comprising chlamydia protein Pgp3, which induces inflammation by inducing the binding of chlamydia protein Pgp3 to tumor necrosis factor TNF- α.
Preferably, the inflammation is inflammatory lesions of the oviduct induced by chlamydia protein pgp3, stimulating secretion of IL-6 and IL-8 by oviduct epithelial cells.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following advantages:

Example 1 construction of Experimental mouse model
1.1 preparation of laboratory animals
20 SPF-grade C3H/HeJ female mice with the body weight of 18-20g and the age of 5-6 weeks are bred.
1.2 Experimental groups and interventions
20 mice were randomly divided into 4 groups of 5 mice each, namely a blank group (without any treatment), a negative control group (namely, CT795 group), a high concentration group (His-pgp3 concentration of 10. mu.g/. mu.l), and a low concentration group (His-pgp3 concentration of 1. mu.g/. mu.l).
(1) The purified His-pgp3 was diluted to 10. mu.g/. mu.l and 1. mu.g/. mu.l with sterile PBS solution.
(2) His-pgp3 (10. mu.g/. mu.l, 10. mu.l) was injected into each of the left and right ovaries of the mice in the high concentration group, i.e., 100. mu.g of His-pgp3 was injected into each of the left and right ovaries of the mice.
(3) His-pgp3 (1. mu.g/. mu.l, 10. mu.l) was injected into each of the left and right ovaries of the mice in the low concentration group, i.e., 10. mu.g of His-pgp3 was injected into each of the left and right ovaries of the mice.
(4) The left and right ovaries of each mouse in the negative control group were injected with CT795 protein (10. mu.g/. mu.l, 10. mu.l), i.e., 100. mu.g CT795 was injected into each of the left and right ovaries of each mouse.
(5) All experimental mice were sutured immediately after intracyst injection. The mice were then housed in an SPF-grade animal house during which time temperature and humidity, food and water supplies were maintained. The mice were observed every other day for food intake, activity, incision status, presence of incision infection, etc. Note: the mouse intravesicular injection of the protein is carried out in a sterile environment, such as an ultra-clean bench operation.
1.3 Experimental animals were obtained and each group of mice was sacrificed at 14d by cervical dislocation, reproductive tract was isolated, photographed, and prepared into pathological section of oviduct tissue, and HE stained.
The oviduct specimen of the mice is shown in figure 1, the oviduct and the ovary of the mice in the blank group, the negative control group, the low-concentration group and the high-concentration group have no obvious swelling and hydrops, and the blood vessel of the oviduct wall has no dilatation and congestion.
HE stained sections of oviduct or ovary of each group of mice are shown in FIG. 2, in which the neutrophil cytoplasm is pink, the nucleus is large and bluish-purple, and the nuclear lobulation is evident. The number of neutrophils in each field was counted using image J software (see Table 1) and finally statistically analyzed using SPSS software. As can be seen from the experimental results shown in the following table, His-pgp3 stimulates the mouse oviduct to produce an inflammatory response, and is proportional to the concentration.
TABLE 1 neutrophils
The table shows the intrafallopian neutrophil counts of the mice, all values being expressed as mean ± sd. Comparing the high concentration group with the negative control group, wherein P is less than 0.001; comparison of # high concentration group and Low concentration group P < 0.001
Example 2 affinity assays for His-pgp3 and TNF-. alpha.and TNFR1
Diluted His-Pgp3 was immobilized on activated CM5 chips using amino acid coupling. TNF-. alpha.and TNFR1 were injected into the channels at different concentration gradients, and the signal intensity was measured. All signals are corrected via the blank channel. The analysis was performed using Biacore 3000Control Software.
Fig. 3 is a kinetic analysis graph of His-pgp3 on conjugated antibody TNF-alpha, fig. 4 is a kinetic analysis graph of His-pgp3 on conjugated antibody TNFR1, and it can be seen from fig. 3 and fig. 4 that as the concentration of TNF-alpha increases, the signal value increases and has a certain saturation trend, and the kd (m) value obtained by fitting is 2.05e-7 (fig. 3), but as the concentration of TNFR1 increases, the signal value linearly increases and has no saturation trend. His-Pgp3 and TNFR1 demonstrated non-specific binding (FIG. 4).
