Biomacromolecule like exogenous Kallikrein is difficult to pass through biomembrane and blood brain barrier. So, the use of exogenous Kallikrein for the therapy of nervous system diseases is restricted. We constructed the Protein Transduction Domain-Kallikrein (PTD-Kallikrein), checked its function of penetration and biotoxicity, and observed its influence on neurons and ischemic brain tissues.
PTD-Kallikrein (tissue kallikrein) was prepared by chemical synthesis. After PTD-Kallikrein injected 2.5 hours, rats brains were taken out and contents of Kallikrein were quantitated to observe the function of passing through blood brain barrier. Cell survival rate were measured by XTT methods to determine the peptide's biotoxicity. Apoptosis were inspected by TUNEL. PTD-Kallikrein was administrated immediately after cerebral ischemia. 24h later, infarct volume was determined by TTC stain and IL-1beta, TNF-alpha as well as PGE2 were measured by ELISA.
生物大分子类似外源性激肽释放酶很难穿透生物膜和血脑屏障。因此,外源性激肽释放酶在神经系统疾病的治疗中的应用受到限制。我们构建了蛋白转导结构域-激肽释放酶(PTD-Kallikrein),检查了其穿透和生物毒性的功能,并观察了其对神经元和缺血性脑组织的影响。
化学合成 PTD-Kallikrein(组织激肽释放酶)。在 PTD-Kallikrein 注射 2.5 小时后,取出大鼠大脑并定量测定激肽释放酶的含量,以观察其穿过血脑屏障的功能。通过 XTT 法测定细胞存活率来确定肽的生物毒性。通过 TUNEL 检测细胞凋亡。脑缺血后立即给予 PTD-Kallikrein。24 小时后,通过 TTC 染色测定梗死体积,并通过 ELISA 测定 IL-1β、TNF-α和 PGE2 的含量。
