Description

Application of HTR2b activator in improving cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury
Technical Field
The application relates to the field of biological medicine, in particular to application of an HTR2b activator in improving cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury.
Background
Recent global disease burden studies indicate that Ischemic Stroke (Ischemic Stroke) has jumped the first three of the world population disease burden, and Stroke and Ischemic heart disease are the leading causes of death and disability nationwide in China in 2017. Acute ischemic cerebral apoplexy is a common cerebral apoplexy type, accounting for 60% -80% of all cerebral apoplexy. However, according to the new release guidelines for stroke treatment of AHA in 2018, there are no recombinant human tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) thrombolysis and intravascular mechanical thrombolytic therapy. With the development of the vascular opening treatment, the damage of cerebral ischemia reperfusion is more and more not ignored. However, no FDA approved pharmaceutical or non-pharmaceutical neuroprotective therapies are currently available to treat reperfusion injury associated with blood flow remodeling or nerve injury outside of the thrombolytic window of time.
The neuroinflammatory reaction after cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury is a great focus in research in recent years, and particularly, the neuroinflammatory reaction research caused by peripheral immune cell infiltration after reperfusion is a great breakthrough in recent years. A large number of immune cells, including blood-derived mononuclear/macrophages, neutrophils and lymphocytes, infiltrate and activate the ischemic areas of the brain following reperfusion, playing a critical role in the development and progression of neuroinflammation. Among these cells, the multiple roles played by macrophages have been of great interest in recent years. Ralf Stumm et al observed that in the acute phase after stroke using Cxcr4-GFP mice, massive mononuclear/macrophages recruited from the bone marrow to migrate through the blood to the brain began to attack adjacent and dead brain tissue; in the subacute stage after cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury, mononuclear/macrophages infiltrated into the brain effectively clear apoptotic neurons in the infarct zone. Therefore, mononuclear/macrophages undergo more complex changes after cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury and play a very important role in prognosis of cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury. However, at present, how peripheral infiltration into brain/mononuclear macrophages affects cerebral ischemic injury remains an unknown problem. However, due to the limitations of the prior art, there is a limited means for differentiating the central intrinsic microglial cells from the peripheral infiltrated mononuclear macrophages after the cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury, so that little is known about how the mononuclear macrophages infiltrated into the brain after the cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury affect the complexity of the brain injury outcome.

Terminology
HTR2b receptors
The 5-HT receptor, also known as serotonin receptor, is a group of G protein-coupled receptors and ligand ion channels found in the nervous system and can be divided into seven subfamilies, 5-HT 1-7. Wherein the family of 5-HT2 receptors includes three subtypes, HTR2a, HTR2b, and HTR2c, wherein HTR2b is a specific receptor for 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) that modulates emotion, behavior, and cognition. The literature suggests that age-dependent upregulation of HTR2b, but not HTR2a, occurs following cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury. Previous studies have found that HTR2b receptor activation may be involved in human macrophage polarization, helping to maintain an anti-inflammatory state. Hajer El eussini et al also found that the presence of HTR2b receptors limited degeneration of spinal cord mononuclear phagocytes and slowed progression of ALS disease.
HTR2b receptor specific activators
The present application provides for the use of HTR2b receptor activators, including but not limited to small molecule compounds, nucleic acids (e.g., DNA, RNA), proteins (e.g., enzymes, antibodies, etc.).
The 5-HT2B receptor is a G protein coupled receptor for the endogenous neurotransmitter serotonin (5-HT). BW723C86 (hydrochloride), a tryptamine analogue, molecular formula C 16 H 19 ClN 2 OS, molecular weight 322.85, is a highly selective 5-HT2B receptor specific agonist and binds poorly to 5-HT2A, 5-HT2C, 5-HT1A and 5-HT1B receptors. BW723C86 is not an amphetamine-type chemical structure, whereas amphetamine molecules, such as fenfluramine, are one of the anorectic agents, and dietary restrictions are associated with prognosis of stroke.

Experimental method
1. Establishment of ischemic cerebral apoplexy model
MCAO molding was performed on 8-to 10-week-old male wild-type mice in a C57BL/6 background. Briefly, first with 30% O 2 /70%N 2 The mice were anesthetized by mixing 2% isoflurane with the mixed air. After complete anesthesia, a skin incision was made in the mouse neck, exposing the left common carotid artery and its branches, and temporarily ligating the common carotid artery, followed by the truncation of the external carotid artery. And inserting a wire plug from the external carotid artery into the internal carotid artery through the residual of the external carotid artery, and inducing MCAO by endoluminal occlusion of the left middle cerebral artery for 1 hour. Sham operated animals received arterial anesthesia and surgical exposure, but did not undergo middle cerebral artery occlusion. During operation, the temperature of the mice is ensured by using the heating padIs maintained at 37+/-0.5 ℃.
2. Single cell RNA-seq experiments
Cell lysis buffer was added to allow hybridization of polyadenylated RNA molecules to the microbeads. The beads were collected into a single tube for reverse transcription. After cDNA synthesis, each BD Rhapsody system was used to obtain single cell transcriptome information. Single cell capture was achieved using a limited dilution method by randomly distributing single cell suspensions in >200,000 microwells. Beads with oligonucleotide codes are added to saturation to pair the beads with cells in the microwells. The cDNA molecules are labeled at the 5 'end (i.e., the 3' end of the mRNA transcript) with a Unique Molecular Identifier (UMI) and a cell label indicating the cell from which they were derived. Complete transcriptome libraries were prepared using the BD Rhapsody single cell whole transcriptome amplification workflow. Briefly, second strand cDNA was synthesized and then ligated to WTA adaptors for universal amplification. 18 PCR cycles were used to amplify the adaptor-ligated cDNA product. A sequencing library for the whole transcriptome amplification product was prepared using random primer PCR to enrich for 3' ends of transcripts linked to cell markers and UMI. Sequencing libraries were quantified using a high sensitivity DNA chip (agilent) on Bioanalyzer2200 and a Qubit high sensitivity DNA analysis (Thermo Fisher Scientific). The library of each sample was sequenced by HiSeq Xten (I-coil, san Diego, calif.) with paired end sequencing of 150 bp.
3. Measurement of infarct volume
Cerebral infarct size was measured using microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP-2) staining, animals were sacrificed and perfused transcardiac with PBS containing 0.9% physiological saline and 4% paraformaldehyde. Free-floating sections of different sections were prepared from fixed and dehydrated brains and then stained with MAP-2 antibody (1:500, abcam). Infarct volume was determined by NIH Image J (1.52 a) analysis by a viewer with an unknown group of experimental groups.
4. Isolation and culture of Primary macrophage BMDM (Bone Marrow-Derived Macrophage)
1) Leg bone is got to mouse
The mice were sacrificed after anesthesia, the mice were placed in beakers containing a sufficient amount of 75% ethanol for 5min of sterilization, and the soaked animals were blotted with paper to remove excess ethanol. A small opening is cut on the back of the mouse by using scissors, and the skin is directly torn to the joints of the lower leg of the mouse by hands, so that the joints and the skin of the foot of the mouse are removed (the process slightly shows rough blood fishy smell but has high efficiency). The hind limbs are detached (the legs are not broken off by the scissors) along the root of the thigh of the mouse, muscle tissues are removed, the hind limbs are placed in a culture dish containing 75% ethanol for soaking for 5min, and a new culture dish containing 75% ethanol is replaced and is moved into an ultra clean bench.
2) BMDM cell extraction and induction
The ethanol soaked leg bones are moved into cold PBS for soaking, the ethanol on the surfaces of the tibia and the femur is washed off, and the process can be repeated for 3 times. The washed femur and tibia are separated, two ends of the femur and tibia are cut off respectively by scissors, the bone marrow is blown out of the femur and tibia by sucking cold induction culture medium by a 1mL syringe, and the flushing is repeated for 3 times until no obvious red color is seen in the femur. Repeatedly blowing the culture medium containing bone marrow cells with a 5mL pipetting gun to disperse cell clusters, sieving the cells with a 70 μm cell filter, transferring into a 15mL centrifuge tube, centrifuging at 1500rpm/min for 5min, discarding the supernatant, adding erythrocyte lysate, re-suspending for 5min, centrifuging at 1500rpm/min for 5min, discarding the supernatant, re-suspending with cold prepared bone marrow macrophage induced culture medium, and plating. The culture medium is not replaced during the cell culture period, half of the bone marrow macrophage induction culture medium is replaced after the third day of culture, all the culture medium is replaced in the fifth day, and the seventh day can be used for the subsequent experiments.
5. Phagocytosis experiment
BMDM cells were grown at 2X 10 4 The density of individual cells/wells was spread on a 1.5-mm2 coverslip for 24 hours. Then, the fluorescent-labeled latex beads were added at a concentration of 5. Mu.l/ml for 2 hours at 37 ℃. Cells were washed 3 times with PBS to remove non-phagocytized beads and fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde. Next, phagocytosis of the beads by microglial cells was observed under a fluorescent inverted microscope. Cells with phagocytic activity were observed using fluorescence microscopy (magnification x 40 and x 100). All experiments were repeated 3 times. Negative control microglial cells were pre-conditioned with cytochalasin D (10. Mu.M)Treating for 30min.
6. Statistical method
All statistical data were performed using GraphPad Prism v.6 or the implemented statistical tests of the corresponding R-packets. The distribution was tested for normality and equality of variance before any parametric analysis was applied. The two-tailed student t-test was used for pairwise comparison between the two groups. The remaining data were analyzed using one-way or two-way ANOVA as appropriate. Multiple comparison procedures were performed using Bonferroni's post hoc test to determine specific group differences. Results are expressed as mean ± standard deviation. Correlation analysis was performed using Pearson correlation analysis. P.ltoreq.0.05 is considered statistically significant.
Example 1 single cell RNA sequencing shows that peripheral infiltration into the brain has been specifically enhanced by the neurotransmitter pathway of mononuclear macrophages
To explore the complex changes of mononuclear/macrophages infiltrating into the brain from the periphery after cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury, single cell sequencing was performed on cerebral infarct tissue of mice 3 days after establishment of middle cerebral artery occlusion Model (MCAO), and deep analysis was performed using macrophage marker-Ms 4a7, single-core macrophages at specific markers and single-core/macrophages in bone marrow using the method of RacID 3.
The results show that a significantly specific enrichment of neurotransmitter receptor pathways, in particular the 5-HT and GABA receptor pathways, occurs in the peripheral infiltration into the brain of mononuclear/macrophages following cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury relative to the mononuclear/macrophages in the bone marrow (fig. 1).
EXAMPLE 2 peripheral infiltration into the brain monocyte macrophage HTR2b receptor specific Environment dependent upregulation
Based on the discovery of specific enrichment of neurotransmitter receptor pathways into the brain by mononuclear macrophages, various neurotransmitter receptor subtypes were analyzed, and the discovery of high expression of HTR2b receptor specificity by macrophages (clusters 3, 4) peripherally entering the brain (fig. 2A) suggests that high expression of HTR2b receptor specificity by peripheral mononuclear/macrophages may play a very important role in cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury.
To verify the changes in HTR2b receptor expression observed in single cell sequencing at the protein level, weThe method of co-labeling by over-immunofluorescence verifies F4/80 in the brain of 3d mice after MCAO + Is significantly increased in macrophages (fig. 2B).
The above experimental results suggest that neurotransmitter receptor HTR2b expression by peripheral mononuclear macrophages infiltrated into the brain is significantly up-regulated following cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury.
Example 3 htr2b receptor-specific agonists are effective in improving cerebral infarct size and BBB injury in 3d mice following MCAO
To investigate the effect of HTR2b receptors of mononuclear macrophages infiltrating the brain on brain ischemia reperfusion injury, it was found that HTR2b receptor specific agonists (BW 723C 86) could effectively improve cerebral infarct size and BBB injury in mice 3 days after MCAO by 2 hours after MCAO (fig. 3), indicating that upregulation of HTR2b receptors of mononuclear macrophages may be a spontaneous protective mechanism following brain ischemia reperfusion injury, which the body produces, and could alleviate brain ischemia reperfusion injury.
Example 4 htr2b receptor-specific agonists can modulate phagocytosis of monocytes
To elucidate the mechanism of HTR2b receptor protection against ischemic cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury, changes in the transcriptome of primary bone marrow-derived macrophages following administration of HTR2b receptor-specific activator (BW 723C 86) were examined, and both KEGG and GESA assays found a significant enrichment of phagocytic pathways following administration of BW723C86 (fig. 4A-C).
To determine whether HTR2b receptor protection mechanisms against ischemic brain ischemia reperfusion injury works by altering phagocytic function of monocytes macrophages, agonists were administered to primary bone marrow-derived macrophages following co-culture with dose-dependent HTR2b receptor specific agonists (BW 723C 86) and inhibitors (SB 204741) to significantly enhance phagocytic function of primary macrophages BMDM (fig. 4D).
The above results indicate that HTR2b receptors regulate the outcome of cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury by affecting phagocytic function of macrophages.
