本発明は、血管新生誘導剤及びそれに用いられるポリペプチドに関する。   The present invention relates to an angiogenesis inducer and a polypeptide used therefor.

褥瘡、創傷、皮膚潰瘍、閉塞性動脈疾患及び閉塞性動脈硬化症等の種々の疾患又は傷害の治療においては、血管の新生が有効である。幾つかの血管新生誘導活性を有する血管新生誘導剤が知られている。
血管新生誘導活性を有するポリペプチドとしては、LL−37が知られている。LL−37は、血管新生活性のみならず、抗菌活性および動脈形成活性を有するペプチドである(非特許文献1および2)。
Angiogenesis is effective in the treatment of various diseases or injuries such as pressure ulcers, wounds, skin ulcers, occlusive arterial disease and occlusive arteriosclerosis. Angiogenesis-inducing agents having several angiogenesis-inducing activities are known.
LL-37 is known as a polypeptide having angiogenesis-inducing activity. LL-37 is a peptide having not only angiogenic activity but also antibacterial activity and arteriogenic activity (Non-patent Documents 1 and 2).

本発明の目的は、優れた血管新生誘導活性を有する新規な血管新生誘導剤及びその有効成分として用いられる新規なポリペプチドを提供することである。   An object of the present invention is to provide a novel angiogenesis-inducing agent having excellent angiogenesis-inducing activity and a novel polypeptide used as an active ingredient thereof.

本願発明者らは、鋭意研究の結果、特許文献1に記載されたポリペプチドを修飾することにより、該ポリペプチドよりも高い血管新生誘導活性を有するか又は該ポリペプチドと血管新生誘導活性は同等であるがより高い抗菌活性を有するポリペプチドが得られることを見出し本発明を完成した。   As a result of intensive studies, the inventors of the present application have a higher angiogenesis-inducing activity than the polypeptide by modifying the polypeptide described in Patent Document 1, or the polypeptide and angiogenesis-inducing activity are equivalent. However, the present invention was completed by finding that a polypeptide having higher antibacterial activity can be obtained.

すなわち、本発明は、配列番号1ないし4のいずれかで示されるアミノ酸配列から成るポリペプチドを有効成分として含有する血管新生誘導剤を提供する。 That is, the present invention provides an angiogenesis-inducing agent containing, as an active ingredient, a polypeptide consisting of the amino acid sequence represented by any of SEQ ID NOs: 1 to 4 .

また、本発明は、上記ポリペプチドを有効成分として含有する、褥瘡、創傷、皮膚潰瘍、閉塞性動脈疾患及び閉塞性動脈硬化症から成る群から選択される疾患の処置のための予防、改善又は治療剤を提供する。   The present invention also provides prevention, amelioration or treatment for treatment of a disease selected from the group consisting of pressure ulcers, wounds, skin ulcers, occlusive arterial disease and occlusive arteriosclerosis, comprising the polypeptide as an active ingredient. Provide a therapeutic agent.

本発明により、優れた血管新生誘導活性を有するポリペプチド系の新規な血管新生誘導剤が提供された。また、この血管新生誘導剤の有効成分として用いられる新規なポリペプチドが提供された。   According to the present invention, a novel angiogenesis-inducing agent based on a polypeptide having excellent angiogenesis-inducing activity has been provided. Moreover, the novel polypeptide used as an active ingredient of this angiogenesis inducer was provided.

本発明の実施例及び比較例の血管新生誘導活性を示す図である。It is a figure which shows the angiogenesis induction activity of the Example and comparative example of this invention.

特許文献1に記載されているF2ペプチド(本願明細書において「AG-30」と呼ぶ)のアミノ酸配列を配列番号5に示す。AG-30は、特許文献1に記載され、また、下記実施例において具体的に記載するように抗菌活性及び血管新生誘導活性を有する。AG-30の種々の修飾体を作製し、その血管新生誘導活性及び抗菌活性を調べた。その結果、上記した本発明のポリペプチドが、血管新生誘導活性を有することが明らかになった。下記実施例に具体的に記載するように、本発明の実施例になるポリペプチドは、AG-30よりも血管新生誘導活性が高いか、又はAG-30と血管新生誘導活性が同等の場合には、AG-30よりも抗菌活性が高かった。   The amino acid sequence of the F2 peptide (referred to herein as “AG-30”) described in Patent Document 1 is shown in SEQ ID NO: 5. AG-30 is described in Patent Document 1 and has antibacterial activity and angiogenesis-inducing activity as specifically described in the following examples. Various modified forms of AG-30 were prepared and their angiogenesis-inducing activity and antibacterial activity were examined. As a result, it was revealed that the above-described polypeptide of the present invention has angiogenesis-inducing activity. As specifically described in the following examples, the polypeptide according to the examples of the present invention has an angiogenesis-inducing activity higher than that of AG-30, or has a similar angiogenesis-inducing activity to AG-30. Had higher antibacterial activity than AG-30.

一般に、ポリペプチドから成る医薬において、生体内でのポリペプチドの安定性を高めるために、ポリペプチドに糖鎖やポリエチレングリコール(PEG)鎖を付加したり、ポリペプチドを構成するアミノ酸の少なくとも一部としてD体アミノ酸を用いたりする技術が広く知られており、用いられている。糖鎖やPEG鎖を付加したり、ポリペプチドを構成するアミノ酸の少なくとも一部としてD体アミノ酸を用いたりすることにより、生体内でのペプチダーゼによる分解を受けにくくなり、生体内におけるポリペプチドの半減期が長くなる。本発明のポリペプチドは、抗菌活性を有する限り、生体内安定化のためのこれらの公知の修飾を施したものであってもよく、本明細書及び特許請求の範囲における「ポリペプチド」という語は、文脈上そうでないことが明らかな場合を除き、生体内安定化のための修飾を施したものも包含する意味で用いている。   In general, in a pharmaceutical comprising a polypeptide, a sugar chain or a polyethylene glycol (PEG) chain is added to the polypeptide or at least a part of the amino acids constituting the polypeptide in order to increase the stability of the polypeptide in vivo. A technique using a D-form amino acid is widely known and used. By adding sugar chains or PEG chains, or by using D-form amino acids as at least part of the amino acids that make up the polypeptide, it is less susceptible to degradation by peptidases in vivo, reducing the polypeptide in vivo by half. The period becomes longer. As long as the polypeptide of the present invention has antibacterial activity, it may be those subjected to these known modifications for in vivo stabilization, and the term “polypeptide” in the present specification and claims. Is used in the sense of including those that have been modified for in vivo stabilization, unless otherwise apparent from the context.

ポリペプチドに対する糖鎖付加は周知であり、例えば、Sato M, Furuike T, Sadamoto R, Fujitani N, Nakahara T, Niikura K, Monde K, Kondo H, Nishimura S., "Glycoinsulins: dendritic sialyloligosaccharide-displaying insulins showing a prolonged blood-sugar-lowering activity.",J Am Chem Soc. 2004 Nov 3;126(43):14013-22やSato M, Sadamoto R, Niikura K, Monde K, Kondo H, Nishimura S,"Site-specific introduction of sialic acid into insulin.", Angew Chem Int Ed Engl. 2004 Mar 12;43(12):1516-20等に記載されている。糖鎖は、N末端、C末端又はそれらの間のアミノ酸に結合可能であるが、ポリペプチドの活性を阻害しないためにN末端又はC末端に結合することが好ましい。また、付加する糖鎖の個数は、1個又は2個が好ましく、1個が好ましい。糖鎖は、単糖から4糖が好ましく、さらには2糖又は3糖が好ましい。糖鎖は、ポリペプチドの遊離のアミノ基又はカルボキシル基に直接又は例えば炭素数1〜10程度のメチレン鎖等のスペーサー構造を介して結合することができる。   Glycosylation to polypeptides is well known, for example, Sato M, Furuike T, Sadamoto R, Fujitani N, Nakahara T, Niikura K, Monde K, Kondo H, Nishimura S., "Glycoinsulins: dendritic sialyloligosaccharide-displaying insulins showing a prolonged blood-sugar-lowering activity. ", J Am Chem Soc. 2004 Nov 3; 126 (43): 14013-22 and Sato M, Sadamoto R, Niikura K, Monde K, Kondo H, Nishimura S," Site- specific introduction of sialic acid into insulin. ", Angew Chem Int Ed Engl. 2004 Mar 12; 43 (12): 1516-20. The sugar chain can be bound to the N-terminus, C-terminus, or an amino acid therebetween, but is preferably bound to the N-terminus or C-terminus so as not to inhibit the activity of the polypeptide. The number of sugar chains to be added is preferably 1 or 2, and preferably 1. The sugar chain is preferably monosaccharide to tetrasaccharide, more preferably disaccharide or trisaccharide. The sugar chain can be bound to a free amino group or carboxyl group of the polypeptide directly or via a spacer structure such as a methylene chain having about 1 to 10 carbon atoms.

ポリペプチドに対するPEG鎖の付加も周知であり、例えば、Ulbricht K, Bucha E, Poschel KA, Stein G, Wolf G, Nowak G., "The use of PEG-Hirudin in chronic hemodialysis monitored by the Ecarin Clotting Time: influence on clotting of the extracorporeal system and hemostatic parameters.", Clin Nephrol. 2006 Mar;65(3):180-90.やDharap SS, Wang Y, Chandna P, Khandare JJ, Qiu B, Gunaseelan S, Sinko PJ, Stein S, Farmanfarmaian A, Minko T., "Tumor-specific targeting of an anticancer drug delivery system by LHRH peptide.", Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 2005 Sep 6;102(36):12962-7."等に記載されている。PEG鎖は、N末端、C末端又はそれらの間のアミノ酸に結合可能であり、通常、1個又は2個のPEG鎖が、ポリペプチド上の遊離のアミノ基やカルボキシル基に結合される。PEG鎖の分子量は、特に限定されないが、通常3000〜7000程度、好ましくは5000程度のものが用いられる。   Addition of PEG chains to polypeptides is also well known, e.g. Ulbricht K, Bucha E, Poschel KA, Stein G, Wolf G, Nowak G., "The use of PEG-Hirudin in chronic hemodialysis monitored by the Ecarin Clotting Time: influence on clotting of the extracorporeal system and hemostatic parameters. ", Clin Nephrol. 2006 Mar; 65 (3): 180-90. and Dharap SS, Wang Y, Chandna P, Khandare JJ, Qiu B, Gunaseelan S, Sinko PJ, Stein S, Farmanfarmaian A, Minko T., "Tumor-specific targeting of an anticancer drug delivery system by LHRH peptide.", Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 2005 Sep 6; 102 (36): 12962-7. The PEG chain can be attached to the N-terminus, C-terminus, or the amino acid between them, and usually one or two PEG chains are attached to a free amino group or carboxyl group on the polypeptide. The molecular weight of the PEG chain is not particularly limited, but is usually about 3000 to 7000, preferably about 5000.

ポリペプチドを構成するアミノ酸の少なくとも一部をD体とする方法も周知であり、例えば、Brenneman DE, Spong CY, Hauser JM, Abebe D, Pinhasov A, Golian T, Gozes I., "Protective peptides that are orally active and mechanistically nonchiral.", J Pharmacol Exp Ther. 2004 Jun;309(3):1190-7やWilkemeyer MF, Chen SY, Menkari CE, Sulik KK, Charness ME., "Ethanol antagonist peptides: structural specificity without stereospecificity.", J Pharmacol Exp Ther. 2004 Jun;309(3):1183-9.等に記載されている。ポリペプチドを構成するアミノ酸の一部をD体としてもよいが、ポリペプチドの活性をできるだけ阻害しないため、ポリペプチドを構成するアミノ酸の全てをD体アミノ酸とすることが好ましい。   A method in which at least a part of amino acids constituting a polypeptide is in D form is also well known. For example, Brenneman DE, Spong CY, Hauser JM, Abebe D, Pinhasov A, Golian T, Gozes I., “Protective peptides that are orally active and mechanistically nonchiral. ", J Pharmacol Exp Ther. 2004 Jun; 309 (3): 1190-7, Wilkemeyer MF, Chen SY, Menkari CE, Sulik KK, Charness ME.," Ethanol antagonist peptides: structural specificity without stereospecificity ., J Pharmacol Exp Ther. 2004 Jun; 309 (3): 1183-9. Although some of the amino acids constituting the polypeptide may be D-form, it is preferable that all of the amino acids constituting the polypeptide are D-form amino acids in order not to inhibit the polypeptide activity as much as possible.

本発明の血管新生誘導剤の有効成分であるポリペプチドは、市販のペプチド合成機を用いた化学合成等の常法により容易に製造することができる。また、上記安定化修飾も、上記各文献に記載されているような周知の方法により容易に行なうことができる。   The polypeptide which is an active ingredient of the angiogenesis inducer of the present invention can be easily produced by a conventional method such as chemical synthesis using a commercially available peptide synthesizer. The stabilization modification can also be easily performed by a known method as described in each of the above documents.

CD31(PECAM-1)染色1次抗体(マウス抗ヒトCD31抗体)をブロッキング液(1%-BSAを含むダルベッコリン酸緩衝液(PBS(-))で4,000倍希釈した。各ウェルにこの1次抗体溶液0.5mlを添加し、60分間37℃でインキュベートした。インキュベート終了後、1mlのブロッキング液で各ウエルを計3回洗浄した。   CD31 (PECAM-1) -stained primary antibody (mouse anti-human CD31 antibody) was diluted 4,000 times with a blocking solution (Dulbecco's phosphate buffer (PBS (-)) containing 1% -BSA). 0.5 ml of the antibody solution was added and incubated for 60 minutes at 37 ° C. After the incubation, each well was washed 3 times with 1 ml of blocking solution.

次いでブロッキング液で500倍希釈した2次抗体溶液(ヤギ抗マウスIgGアルカリホスファターゼ複合体)0.5mlを各ウエルに添加し、60分間37℃でインキュベートした後、1mlの蒸留水で3回洗浄した。その間に、BCIP/NBTの錠剤2錠を蒸留水20mlに溶解し、ポアサイズ0.2μmのフィルターで濾過して基質溶液を準備した。調製したBCIP/NBT基質溶液0.5mlを各ウエルに添加し、管腔が深紫色になるまで(通常5〜10分間)37℃でインキュベートした。インキュベート終了後、蒸留水1mlで、各ウエルを3回洗浄した後洗浄液を吸引除去し、自然乾燥するため静置した。乾燥後、顕微鏡下で各ウエルを観察した。   Next, 0.5 ml of a secondary antibody solution (goat anti-mouse IgG alkaline phosphatase complex) diluted 500-fold with a blocking solution was added to each well, incubated at 37 ° C. for 60 minutes, and then washed 3 times with 1 ml of distilled water. Meanwhile, two BCIP / NBT tablets were dissolved in 20 ml of distilled water and filtered through a filter having a pore size of 0.2 μm to prepare a substrate solution. 0.5 ml of the prepared BCIP / NBT substrate solution was added to each well and incubated at 37 ° C. until the lumen became deep purple (usually 5-10 minutes). After completion of the incubation, each well was washed three times with 1 ml of distilled water, and then the washing solution was removed by suction and left to stand for natural drying. After drying, each well was observed under a microscope.

各ウエルを顕微鏡で倍率40倍で観察し、写真を撮影した。得られた各画像を血管新生定量ソフトウェア(KSW-5000U, 倉敷紡績株式会社)を用い定量化した。様々な指標でコンピューター解析をして、このスケールをもとに各視野中に形成された管腔の面積(図左欄)、長さ(図右欄)を測定した。   Each well was observed with a microscope at a magnification of 40 times, and a photograph was taken. Each image obtained was quantified using angiogenesis quantification software (KSW-5000U, Kurashiki Boseki Co., Ltd.). Computer analysis was performed with various indices, and the area (left column in the figure) and length (right column in the figure) of the lumen formed in each visual field were measured based on this scale.

結果を図1に示す。図1に示されるように、本発明のポリペプチドは、いずれも血管新生誘導活性を有しており、特に、AG30-5C(実施例1)及びAG30-5Hb(実施例2)は、AG-30(比較例1)よりも血管新生誘導活性が高かった。   The results are shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 1, all of the polypeptides of the present invention have angiogenesis-inducing activity. In particular, AG30-5C (Example 1) and AG30-5Hb (Example 2) are AG- The angiogenesis-inducing activity was higher than that of 30 (Comparative Example 1).

3. ポリペプチドの抗菌活性
AG-30(比較例1)、AG30-5C(実施例1)、AG30-5Hb(実施例2)及びAG30-2C(実施例3)、AG30-2Hb(実施例4)の抗菌活性を調べた。抗菌活性は、米国National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standard(NCCL Documents M7-A3)に従って評価した。すなわち、マイクロタイタープレートあるいは試験管を用いて、菌の増殖を阻害するペプチドの最小濃度を求めた。対象菌株には、黄色ブドウ球菌ATCC29213 (S. aureus ATCC29213)を用いた。細菌を培地で16時間培養した後、A600における吸光度を測定した。予め求めた濁度とcolony forming unit(CFU)との相関から、規定のCFUになるように培地で希釈した。各菌株を1×105CFU/ml(最終濃度)程度になるようにミューラー・ヒントン・ブロス(Mueller-Hinton broth:MHB)に懸濁し、添加した。各ペプチドは任意の濃度に調製し、そこから段階希釈を行った。菌液を分注したマイクロプレートあるいは試験管に各濃度段階のポリペプチドを添加した。ペプチド無添加のものを陰性対照とした。プレートを37℃で16時間培養し、菌の増殖を阻害する最小濃度(最小発育阻止濃度:MIC)を求めた。結果を下記表1に示す。
3. Antimicrobial activity of polypeptides
The antibacterial activity of AG-30 (Comparative Example 1), AG30-5C (Example 1), AG30-5Hb (Example 2), AG30-2C (Example 3), and AG30-2Hb (Example 4) was examined. . Antibacterial activity was evaluated according to the US National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standard (NCCL Documents M7-A3). That is, using a microtiter plate or a test tube, the minimum concentration of the peptide that inhibits bacterial growth was determined. As a target strain, S. aureus ATCC29213 was used. After culturing for 16 hours the bacteria in a medium, the absorbance was measured at A 600. Based on the correlation between the turbidity obtained in advance and the colony forming unit (CFU), it was diluted with a medium so as to become a prescribed CFU. Each strain was suspended in Mueller-Hinton broth (MHB) so as to be about 1 × 10 5 CFU / ml (final concentration) and added. Each peptide was prepared at an arbitrary concentration, and serial dilution was performed therefrom. Polypeptides at each concentration step were added to microplates or test tubes into which the bacterial solution was dispensed. A negative control was added without peptide. The plate was cultured at 37 ° C. for 16 hours, and the minimum concentration (minimum growth inhibitory concentration: MIC) that inhibits bacterial growth was determined. The results are shown in Table 1 below.

Example 5: Blood flow increasing activity of polypeptide
The blood flow increasing activity of AG30-5C (Example 1) was examined.

動物:C57Bl/6マウスおよび糖尿病マウス(db/db)はオリエンタルバイオサービスより購入した。8〜10週齢の雄のマウスを用いた。 Animals: C57Bl / 6 mice and diabetic mice (db / db) were purchased from Oriental Bioservice. 8-10 week old male mice were used.

方法:マウスの尾の背面側の先端部に、滅菌した#10ゲージのメス(ベクトンディッキンソン)を用いて0.5〜1.0cm長の傷をつけた。出血は、圧迫することによって止めた。AG30-5Cポリペプチドをそれぞれ1, 10, 50μg /mlになるようPBSに溶解し、サンプル溶液とした。創傷部位に当該サンプル溶液を50μlずつ塗布した。コントロールとしては、PBSのみを同量塗布した。マウスは1群に3匹を用いた(n=3)。術2日後、マウスにケタミン(80mg/kg)およびキシラジン(12mg/kg)を筋肉内投与し、麻酔した。レーザードップラー流量計(Moor Instruments (Devon, United Kingdom))を用いて創傷部の血流量を測定し、得られたデータを相対値に換算することにより各サンプルの効果を判定した。 Method: A 0.5-1.0 cm long wound was made on the tip of the back of the mouse's tail using a sterilized # 10 gauge scalpel (Becton Dickinson). The bleeding was stopped by pressing. AG30-5C polypeptide was dissolved in PBS at 1, 10, 50 μg / ml, respectively, to prepare a sample solution. 50 μl of the sample solution was applied to the wound site. As a control, the same amount of PBS alone was applied. Three mice were used per group (n = 3). Two days after the operation, the mice were anesthetized by intramuscular administration of ketamine (80 mg / kg) and xylazine (12 mg / kg). The blood flow of the wound was measured using a laser Doppler flow meter (Moor Instruments (Devon, United Kingdom)), and the effect of each sample was determined by converting the obtained data into a relative value.

結果を下記表2及び表3に示す。   The results are shown in Tables 2 and 3 below.
