Description

唾液酸类化合物在制备治疗脑部退行性病变药物或营养添加剂或食品中的应用 技术领域
本申请涉及唾液酸类化合物在制备预防和/或治疗脑部退行性病变药物中的应用,唾液酸类化合物在制备改善认知能力的药物中的应用,唾液酸类化合物在制备预防和/或改善脑部退行性病变的食品或营养添加剂中的应用和唾液酸类化合物在制备改善认知能力的食品或营养添加剂中的应用。
背景技术
唾液酸类化合物又称神经氨酸,通常也指代此类化合物中最重要的成员之一N-乙酰神经氨酸,其广泛存在于动物组织及微生物中,通常位于细胞膜最外层的糖类部分和分泌的糖复合物(糖脂、糖蛋白和脂多糖)的关键位置,是糖复合物结构和功能多样化的重要物质基础。随着人们对唾液酸生物学活性和应用的进一步研究和了解,由唾液酸生产的产品应运而生,对唾液酸的需求也随之增加。目前,唾液酸已获批为新食品原料,在安全性和功能性上得到了肯定。已有报道唾液酸能够强化老年人免疫***;对胎儿及儿童认知发育具有改善作用;作为益生元提高肠道对维生素及矿物质的吸收;具有抗菌和抗病毒作用;以及抑制白细胞黏附和消炎等作用。
阿尔茨海默症,俗称老年痴呆,是一种发病进程缓慢、随着时间不断恶化的神经退化性疾病,是老年性痴呆最常见的疾病种类,约占痴呆病因的60-70%。最常见的早期症状为丧失短期记忆,当疾病逐渐进展,症状可能逐渐出现,包括语言障碍、定向障碍(包括容易迷路)、情绪不稳、丧失动机、无法自理和许多行为问题。当情况恶化时,患者往往会因此和家庭或社会脱节,并逐渐丧失身体机能,最终导致死亡。虽然疾程因人而异,但诊断后的平均余命约为三到九年。现有药物只能达到改善脑血流量,促进脑认知能力恢复的作用,主要有胆碱酯酶抑制剂、NMDA拮抗剂以及脑代谢改善药,无法根治。由于阿尔茨海默症的致病原因和发病机制不明确,给新药研发提出了很大的挑战。
CN106728563A公开了一种治疗阿尔茨海默症的中药及其制备方法,其由如下重量份的原料药配制而成:柴胡1-6份、黄芪1-6份、石菖蒲1-4份、当归1-3份和甘草1-3份。该发明中药制剂所选药材配伍相宜,符合中药学和现代医药学理论,具有解毒开窍、补气养血、健脑益智之功效,对于阿尔茨海默症引起的记忆力减退、倦怠乏力、头晕心悸、气血亏虚以及痴呆等症状的改善及治疗具有显著效果,且安全无毒副作用,可广泛应用于阿尔茨海默症的临床治疗。
CN107823643A公开了鸟嘌呤核苷单磷酸还原酶1作为预防或治疗阿尔茨海默症的药物靶标的应用,所述药物为Lumacaftor或其衍生物或含有Lumacaftor的药物组合物。鸟嘌呤核苷单磷酸还原酶1(GMPR1)的水平在阿尔茨海默症患者中高于健康者,是阿尔茨海默症的治疗靶点。该Lumacaftor可以抑制GMPR1的活性,进而阻止神经元死亡,治愈阿尔茨海默症。该发明通过分子对接技术在所有已知药物中筛选出Lumacaftor,并在阿尔茨海默症模型小鼠中验证了其治疗效果。
CN109260227A公开了一种用于治疗阿尔茨海默症的自体脂肪间充质干细胞注射液制备方法,从自体采集的脂肪组织中分离出脂肪间充质干细胞,经体外培养扩增得到大量的脂肪间充质干细胞,同时获得培养上清液中各种细胞因子,用细胞和培养上清中的细胞因子制成的用于治疗阿尔茨海默症的自体脂肪间充质干细胞注射液,在治疗效果上有独特的优势,为阿尔茨海默症的更好治疗带来了希望。
但现有技术中关于有效预防或治疗阿尔茨海默症的策略的报道还很有限,阿尔茨海默症虽然是不可预见性的老年病,但如果能改善脑部营养环境,帮助开始受损的脑神经细胞重新生长,增强脑神经细胞间联系,则能够改善认知能力,预防或治疗阿尔茨海默病症。因此,开发出一种新型的预防或治疗阿尔茨海默病症的策略是非常有意义的。

水迷宫实验
Morris水迷宫实验在脑部退行性疾病如阿尔茨海默症的研究中是非常有效的,这些疾病最大的特征就是认知能力的减退,Morris水迷宫实验所检测的是在小鼠训练中,学会寻找固定位置隐蔽平台的能力,形成稳定的空间位置认知,实验步骤如下:
(1)各组小鼠正常饮食喂养至3月龄后,将各剂量的N-乙酰神经氨酸或安慰剂分别混入小鼠饲料中,小鼠采用自由取食方式喂养4个月;
(2)采用Morris水迷宫实验标准进行隐蔽站台试验和空间探索试验,隐蔽站台试验结束24h或72h后记录小鼠定位平台的路径、60s内小鼠在原平台象限的停留时间、60s内小鼠穿越原平台的次数。
实验结果:
(1)小鼠进行平台定位的路径图如图1所示,小鼠游泳有绕边性和边缘性,而站台是远离周边靠近水池中心的,若小鼠改变了游泳路线在靠近水池中心区域中活动路程较长,说明小鼠的空间记忆能力好,若小鼠在水池周边区域内活动,则其空间记忆能力差。由图1可知:施用安慰剂的疾病小鼠有明显的绕边性和边缘性,与其相比,施用N-乙酰神经氨酸的小鼠更多地在水池中心区域内活动,且能够更加快速地定位平台,说明用药组的小鼠记忆能力更强,且其阿尔茨海默病症状有所缓解;而且N-乙酰神经氨酸的剂量越高,其效果越好,施用高剂量N-乙酰神经氨酸的疾病小鼠的效果甚至优于施用安慰剂的正常小鼠。
(2)隐蔽站台试验结束并撤去平台24h后小鼠在原平台象限的停留时间统计图如图2所示,由图2可知:与正常组的小鼠相比,具有疾病的小鼠其在原站台象限的停留时间显著低于正常组;在施用N-乙酰神经氨酸后,其停留时间显著延长,且随着剂量的升高,其效果更加明显,说明N-乙酰神经氨酸有提高小鼠记忆力、改善其认知能力、缓解阿尔茨海默症病症的功效。
(3)隐蔽站台试验结束并撤去平台72h后小鼠在原平台象限的停留时间统计图如图3所示,由图3可知:与正常组的小鼠相比,具有疾病的小鼠其在原站台象限的停留时间显著低于正常组;在施用N-乙酰神经氨酸后,其停留时间显著延长,且随着剂量的升高,其效果更加明显,说明N-乙酰神经氨酸有提高小鼠记忆力、改善其认知能力、缓解阿尔茨海默症病症的功效。
(4)隐蔽站台试验结束并撤去平台24h后小鼠穿越原平台位置的次数统计图如图4所示,在一定的时间内,小鼠穿越原平台位置的次数越多,说明其空间学***台位置的次数显著提高,说明N-乙酰神经氨酸也能够提高正常小鼠的认知能力,与正常组相比,具有疾病的小鼠其穿越原平台位置的次数明显降低,在施用N-乙酰神经氨酸后,其穿越原平台位置的次数明显增多,说明N-乙酰神经氨酸有提高小鼠记忆力、改善其认知能力、缓解阿尔茨海默症病症的功效。
(5)隐蔽站台试验结束并撤去平台72h后小鼠穿越原平台位置的次数统计图如图5所示,由图5可知:正常小鼠组在施用N-乙酰神经氨酸后其穿越原平台位置的次数显著提高,说明N-乙酰神经氨酸也能够提高正常小鼠的认知能力,与正常组相比,具有疾病的小鼠其穿越原平台位置的次数明显降低,在施用N-乙酰神经氨酸后,其穿越原平台位置的次数明显增多,说明N-乙酰神经氨酸有提高小鼠记忆力、改善其认知能力、缓解阿尔茨海默症病症的功效。

旷场实验
旷场实验反映小鼠在陌生环境中的自主行为与焦虑情绪,实验步骤如下:
(1)各组小鼠正常饮食喂养至3月龄后,将各剂量的N-乙酰神经氨酸或安慰剂分别混入小鼠饲料中,小鼠采用自由取食方式喂养4个月;
(2)采用旷场实验标准进行实验,记录小鼠的穿越格子和站立次数。
实验结果及结论:
施用N-乙酰神经氨酸喂养4个月后,与正常小鼠相比,AD小鼠表现出典型的抑郁/焦虑行为,包括网格交叉和饲养频率显著降低(图6、7)。与AD小鼠相比,N-乙酰神经氨酸处理组显著改善了抑郁/焦虑行为,显著增加了AD疾病小鼠的穿越格子和站立频率(图6、7)。以上行为表明,N-乙酰神经氨酸可以有效改善AD小鼠的认知恶化和抑郁/焦虑行为,特别是在中、高N-乙酰神经氨酸浓度下。

Aβ病理检测
硫黄素T染色检测小鼠脑内错误折叠蛋白情况
通过硫黄素T染色检测小鼠脑内海马区和皮层区的错误蛋白折叠情况,在一定程度上反应Aβ在脑部的聚集和分布情况。由结果知,海马CA3区WT和AD有差异,AD+SA(L)错误蛋白比AD多,而AD+SA(M)、AD+SA(H)比AD少;海马CA1区WT和AD也有差异,WT+SA(H)比WT更多,AD+SA(L)、AD+SA(M)比AD少,AD+SA(H)比AD多,皮层区(cortex区)AD+SA(L)、AD+SA(H)错误折叠蛋白比AD多;齿状回区(DG区)结果与CA3区一致(图8,n=4)。此结果可作为反应脑部Aβ聚集状况和老年斑形成分布的参考。
实施例5
Tau病理检测
银染检测小鼠脑内神经纤维缠结情况
通过甘氨酸银染色检测小鼠脑内海马区和皮层区的神经纤维缠结(NFT)情况,神经纤维缠结的形成是由于Tau蛋白的过度磷酸化,使其从微管上脱落后相互缠绕形成神经纤维缠结。由结果知,WT与AD在海马CA区、CA1区、齿状回区和皮层区中的神经纤维缠结有明显差异,WT+SA(H)中神经纤维缠结比WT少,AD+SA(L/M/H)中神经纤维缠结都比AD少,随着剂量的升高,各脑区中神经纤维缠结的数量也逐渐变少(图9,n=4)。
实施例6
小鼠脑内神经元活性和突触相关蛋白表达情况
尼氏染色检测神经元活性
神经元的活性情况可通过检测尼氏小体的数量来判断,尼式染色是检测小鼠脑组织细胞中的粗面内质网上尼氏小体的数量,尼式小体着色数量越多说明神经元丢失越少,尼式小体受染液着色数量越少说明神经元丢失越多。由结果知,AD的海马CA3区、CA1区、齿状回区和皮层区中尼氏小体数量都明显少于WT,WT+SA(H)皮层区尼氏小体数量明显少于WT;喂食唾液酸的AD小鼠在低中高剂量反应有所不同,AD+SA(L)海马CA3区、CA1区、齿状回区和皮层区中尼氏小体数量明显多于AD,AD+SA(M)、AD+SA(H)的海马CA3区、CA1 区、齿状回区和皮层区中尼氏小体数量也多于AD,但是低于AD+SA(L)(图10,n=4)。由此可知,可能会减少AD中神经元活性的丢失,但是剂量上不成依赖性。
实施例7
液体核磁及功能磁共振成像实验结果
(1)液体核磁
液体核磁主要检测和分析了以下几种小分子物质在小鼠大脑中的相对含量,包括肌醇、牛磺酸、天门冬氨酸、谷氨酸、谷氨酰胺、γ-氨基丁酸、N-乙酰-L-天门冬氨酸、丙氨酸。肌醇(Myo-Inositol,MI)又叫“环己六醇”,B族维生素之一。为微生物和许多动物的必需营养素,动物膳食中缺乏肌醇时,出现脱毛,影响发育。广泛分布在动植物体内,结构与葡萄糖类似,是一种生长因子。已有研究发现,其有代谢脂肪和胆固醇的作用,有助预防动脉硬化。同时肌醇在供给脑细胞营养上,扮演重要的角色。神经***中存在有大量的氨基酸,这些物质除参与神经***的一般代谢过程与维持细胞内、外水分及电解质平衡外,还做为化学传递物质参与神经兴奋及抑制调节,其中包括对神经细胞有兴奋作用的氨基酸如谷氨酸(Glu)、天冬氨酸(Asp)等酸性氨基酸,具有抑制作用的如γ-氨基丁酸(GABA)。谷氨酰胺(Gln)具有保护大脑的功能,作为大脑的一种能量来源,谷氨酰胺能改善心情,增强智力,并有益于长期与短期记忆。牛磺酸(Taurine)与脑发育关系,可促进大白鼠的学习与记忆能力。补充适量牛磺酸不仅可以提高学习记忆速度,而且还可以提高学习记忆的准确性,并且对神经***的抗衰老也有一定作用。N-乙酰-L-天门冬氨酸(N-acetylaspartate,NAA)仅存在于脑内神经元及突起中,是反映神经元损伤严重程度的标记物,NAA含量的高低被认为是神经元数目的增加或减少的信号。
牛磺酸是哺乳动物组织中以高浓度存在的含硫氨基酸,涉及大脑发育和神经传递等过程,目前研究证明其参与细胞体积调节和调节膜电位从而减弱电活动并使神经元超极化。由结果知(图11),在海马、皮层和嗅球区域,AD中牛磺酸浓度显著低于WT(*p<0.05),喂食不同浓度的N-乙酰神经氨酸后能升高牛磺酸浓度但是无显著差异。
N-乙酰-L-天门冬氨酸是神经元损伤程度的一项重要生化指标,NAA下降表明神经元代谢紊乱。由结果知(图12),在喂食N-乙酰神经氨酸后,AD中NAA浓度升高或不变,虽然没有显著性差异,但是NAA浓度上升的趋势能够作为N-乙酰神经氨酸保护神经元正常代谢的佐证指标。另外,WT+SA(H)的NAA浓度在各个不同脑区中的变化有高有低,不具有显著性差异,这可能是个体差异导致的结果,也可能是存在下降趋势,但是下降程度不能达到破坏神经元的正常代谢过程的程度。
用谷氨酸与N-乙酰天冬氨酸的比值综合说明糖代谢程度和神经元正常代谢状况。由结果知(图13),AD+SA(M)的Glu/NAA显著低于AD(*p<0.05),AD+SA(H)的Glu/NAA也显著低于AD(*p<0.05),说明喂食N-乙酰神经氨酸对改善AD鼠神经元代谢紊乱和缓解AD症状有一定的作用。
用谷氨酸与γ-氨基丁酸的比值来综合性说明神经递质的效果。由结果知(图14),给WT+SA(H)的Glu/GABA-C4与WT相比总体是升高的,AD+SA(L/M/H)与AD相比也是如此,说明喂食N-乙酰神经氨酸对改善神经传递过程的优大于劣;Glu/GABA-C4的相对量在海马区域、皮层区域中的比值比其他区域高很多,中脑区域AD的Glu/GABA-C4比值显著高于WT。
(2)功能磁共振成像结果
基于血氧水平依赖(BOLD)效应的功能磁共振成像(functional magnetic resonance imaging, fMRI)技术,可以重复进行无创伤性的实验,能够有效地检测出认知任务刺激下大脑皮层中不同功能区的激活,并且可以获取准确的空间定位信息。因此,fMRI技术是脑与认知科学研究中最为有效的手段之一。大脑活动时(包括运动、语言、记忆、认知、情感、听觉、视觉等)并不是全脑都参与,而是其中一个区域或几个区域参与。可以利用BOLD技术对大脑活动变化时产生的血液动力学和代谢改变进行测量,通过脑皮层的MRI信号变化,从而对功能区进行定位,揭示脑的奥秘。
本次功能磁共振成像实验中采用了静息态fMRI。静息态fMRI(resting-state fMRI,rs-fMRI)是指让受试者保持清醒、闭眼、平静呼吸且不进行任何思维活动和自主运动的静息状态下进行数据采集的一种磁共振成像技术,其采集的BOLD信号反映了脑组织神经元的自发活动。静息态fMRI无需进行复杂的任务设计和接受任何刺激,可以避免由于实验设计或被试执行任务是的差异导致的实验结果的不可靠性,具有较高的可重复性和实用性。研究静息状态下自发神经元活动对理解神经功能疾病有着重要的意义,当前静息态已被用于许多神经精神领域的疾病研究,包括阿尔茨海默症。
本研究的分析方法为功能连接分析,主要检测不同脑区的连接值,反映了脑区之间的相关性。核磁结果共分析了37个感兴趣的脑区(Region of interested,ROI)之间的连接,在此,申请人主要关注皮层区和海马区的连接。海马区只有一个区,即28区。皮层区分了14个亚区,分别为:Region5:Prelimbic Cortex(前边缘皮层);Region6:Cingulate Cortex(扣带回皮层);Region7:Piriform Cortex(梨状皮层):Region8-Somatosensory Cortex(体感皮层);Region9:Auditory Cortex(听觉皮层);Region13:Insular Cortex(脑岛皮层);Region17:Perirhinal Cortex(鼻周皮层);Region18:Ectorhinal Cortex(鼻外皮层);Region19:Entorhinal Cortex(内嗅皮层);Region20:Temporal Associatin Cortex(颞叶联合皮层);Region22:Visual Cortex(视觉皮层);Region23:Retrosplenial Cortex(压后皮层);Region24:Motor Cortex(运动皮层);Region32:Orbital Cortex(额眶部皮层)。
基于图15的热图,我们提取了不同皮层亚区与海马区的连接值并比较了该连接值在各组小鼠内的差异(图16)。发现几个凌然感兴趣的现象,如脑区5-28之间,即前边缘皮层区和海马区,在WT小鼠中是弱负相关,而在AD小鼠内是正相关,中低剂量的SA处理后,其连接值又变为负相关。其他有这种调控作用的包括脑区6-28(扣带回皮层区和海马区)、9-28(听觉皮层区和海马区)、17-28(鼻周皮层和海马区)、22-28(视觉皮层区和海马区)和32-28(额眶部皮层区和海马区)。
此外,我们比较了不同皮层亚区之间的连接值在不同组小鼠中的差异(图17),发现SA对5-24(前边缘皮层区和运动皮层区)、9-20(听觉皮层区和颞叶联合皮层区)、9-23(听觉皮层区和压后皮层区)等几组脑区之间的相关性具有积极的调控作用。
实施例7结论:
(1)从液体核磁的结果分析得出,SA改善了AD小鼠脑内多个代谢物(牛磺酸、N-乙酰-L-天门冬氨酸等)的水平,说明SA可在一定程度上抑制神经元代谢损伤,改善神经功能。
(2)从功能磁共振成像结果可以看到,SA对AD小鼠多个脑区之间的连接值(相关性)具有积极的调控作用,包括前边缘皮层、扣带回皮层、听觉皮层、鼻周皮层、颞叶联合皮层、运动皮层、海马区等,提示SA可能对动物体的学习记忆、听觉、运动等有积极的意义。
综合以上所有实验及结果:唾液酸是一种大脑中天然存在的神经节苷脂的传递递质,在人的大脑中含量最高,目前研究证明其能提高动物的学***衡,另一方面,随着炎症的发生及恶性肿瘤形成时唾液酸也出现伴随性增高。由目前取得的研究可知,唾液酸能改善小鼠学习能力和焦虑情绪,防止神经元丢失,减少部分Aβ寡聚体的积累和神经纤维缠结的形成;可能通过影响神经递质改善AD症状,从AD发病早期开始进行药物预防可能对减缓AD症状起到一定作用。
根据FDA推荐的指导方案Guidance for Industry:Estimating the Maximum Safe Starting Dose in Initial Clinical Trials for Therapeutics in Adult Healthy Volunteers中的记载,由小鼠给药量进行成人用量的换算,此用量可按照成人的体重进行给药换算,例如,按照成年人体重为60kg计算,换算后的唾液酸每日人体摄入量分别为:低剂量82.62mg,中计量408.24mg,高剂量2041.2mg。
