The experimental results found that these peptides can effectively inhibit the virus's membrane fusion and pseudovirus infection, and have the potential to develop into highly effective anti-2019-nCoV specific drugs. At the same time, we also found that the designed polypeptide can also effectively inhibit a variety of SARS-like viruses from bats. Therefore, the present invention can provide a good preventive and therapeutic candidate drug for the 2019-nCoV that is still circulating and the SARS-like virus that may break out in the future.
  • the purpose of the present invention is to provide a set of peptide entry inhibitors that can inhibit 2019-nCoV and SARS-like virus infections.
  • the peptide entry inhibitor is to bind to the HR1 region in the S2 protein of 2019-nCoV and SARS-like viruses to interfere with the formation of the virus's own six helix, thereby inhibiting the fusion infection process of the virus.

  • the important innovation of the invention is that the peptides have inhibitory activity against the new outbreak of 2019-nCoV, and the inhibitory activity of some peptides has reached an unexpectedly high level.
  • One of the objectives of the present invention is to provide a polypeptide or polypeptide derivative that inhibits coronavirus or has an inhibitory function on coronavirus infection. This is achieved by binding to the HR1 region in the S2 protein of the coronavirus.

具体实施方式
人冠状病毒在侵染靶细胞的过程中,其包膜糖蛋白(S蛋白)发挥着关键作用。S蛋白可分为S1亚单位和S2亚单位,S1亚基包含两个功能域,N末 端结构域(NTD)和受体结合域(RBD),均负责病毒与宿主细胞受体的结合。它们还含有几种构象型中和表位,是开发中和抗体和疫苗的靶标。S2亚基包含三个功能域,融合肽(FP)和2个七肽重复序列区(HR)-HR1和HR2。S1中的RBD与受体结合后,S2亚基通过将FP插入宿主细胞膜而改变构象,随后HR1和HR2区形成六螺旋束(6-HB),导致病毒膜与细胞膜融合,病毒的基因物质通过融合孔进入靶细胞内复制产生新的病毒颗粒。S蛋白的S2区域是一个重要的药物设计靶点。源自SARS-CoV S蛋白HR2结构域的多肽(SC-1)可以与病毒S蛋白中的HR1区相互作用形成异源6-HB,从而抑制了HR1和HR2结构域之间同源6-HB的形成,从而阻断了病毒与宿主细胞的融合,但是该多肽的活性非常差(IC50在20μM),较难成药。而具有相同作用机制的多肽在艾滋病病毒(HIV)的治疗方面已有了获得批准的药物。例如,美国FDA批准的国际上第一个多肽类HIV进入抑制剂--恩夫韦肽(Enfuvirtide,Fuzeon,又称T20),其目前被用于艾滋病的临床治疗。姜世勃教授(本专利的发明人之一)是恩夫韦肽药物原型多肽的发明人(美国专利号:5,444,044)。
针对当前爆发的2019-nCoV,目前尚未有靶向该病毒的特异性药物,包括针对S2区域的多肽类抑制剂。本发明首先基于该病毒的S2区域上HR1靶点的序列特征及关键氨基酸位点较为保守的这一现象,设计了一组靶向该区域的多肽类抑制剂。实验结果发现,这些多肽可有效的抑制该病毒的膜融合及假病毒感染,非常有潜力开发成为高效的抗2019-nCoV特异性药物。同时,我们还发现所设计的多肽还可有效抑制多种来自蝙蝠的类SARS病毒。因此,本发明可为目前仍在流行的2019-nCoV以及未来有可能爆发的类SARS病毒提供了很好的预防和治疗的候选药物。
本发明的目的是提供一组可对2019-nCoV及类SARS病毒感染具有抑制功能的多肽类进入抑制剂。所述的多肽类进入抑制剂就是与2019-nCoV及类SARS病毒S2蛋白中的HR1区域结合,干扰病毒自身六螺旋的形成过程,从而抑制病毒的融合感染过程。该组多肽的具体序列如表4所示,或详见于多肽序列表中。该发明的重要创新点在于多肽具有对新爆发的2019-nCoV具有抑制活性,有些多肽的抑制活性达到了预料不到的高水平。
本发明的目的之一在于提供抑制冠状病毒或者对冠状病毒感染具有抑制功能的多肽或者多肽衍生物。这通过与冠状病毒S2蛋白中的HR1区域结合 来实现。冠状病毒可以是2019-nCoV、类SARS病毒Rs3367-CoV或WIV1-CoV。

氨基酸缺失指可以从氨基酸序列,例如SEQ ID NO:1或2的序列中删除1、2或3个以上氨基酸,只要多肽具有针对冠状病毒的抑制活性。
在本发明中,取代可以是保守氨基酸取代,指与SEQ ID NO:1或2的氨基酸序列相比,有3个,更佳地2个氨基酸或1个氨基酸被性质相似或相近的氨基酸所替换而形成肽。这些保守性变异肽可以根据表1进行氨基酸替换而产生。

讨论
综上可见,本发明首次发现2019-HR2P系列多肽(2019-HR2P,EK1,EK1-Plam和EK1-chol)对2019-nCoV具有较好的抑制活性,其作用机制为通过与病毒的HR1区域结合,形成稳定的异源6HB,阻止了病毒自身的HR2与HR1三聚体结合,使它们不能形成同源6HB,进而干扰病毒与细胞膜之间的融合,阻断病毒感染。并且,还发现2019-HR2P系列多为肽(2019-HR2P,EK,EK1-Plam和EK1-chol)对SARS病毒和类SARS病毒(Rs3367-CoV和WIV1-CoV)均具有很好的活性,其中首次发现EK1-Plam和EK1-chol的活性显著高于EK1,高达数十倍。
在本发明中,发明人通过建立由2019-nCoV和类SARS病毒S蛋白介导的细胞-细胞融合系统来检测2019-HR2P系列多为肽(2019-HR2P,EK1-Plam和EK1-chol)对相应病毒融合过程的抑制活性,如图2所示。在2014年lu l.(陆路,本专利的发明人之一)等人通过将病毒的S蛋白与GFP共表达的方法构建了关于SARS-CoV、MERS-CoV等的细胞-细胞融合系统,并在此公认的模拟病毒感染的系统上,成功地设计并评估了一系列活性较好的多肽类进入抑制剂,该成果发表在Nature子刊Nature Communications和Science子刊Science Advances上。在本发明中,采用相同的方法,发明人在国际上率先建立了2019-nCoV S蛋白介导的膜融合系统,并且分别检测了所发明的系列多肽对2019-nCoV和类SARS病毒的膜融合抑制效果,并以目前活性最好的多肽类进入抑制剂EK1作为对照(参考文献:Lu,L.,Q.Liu,Y.Zhu,K.H.Chan,L.Qin,Y.Li,Q.Wang,J.F.Chan,L.Du,F.Yu,C.Ma,S.Ye,K.Y.Yuen,R.Zhang,and S.Jiang.2014.Structure-based discovery of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus fusion inhibitor.Nat Commun 5:3067.及Xia,S.,Yan,L.,Xu,W.,Agrawal,A.S.,Alsaissi,A.,Tseng,C.T.K.,Wang,Q.,Du,L.,Tan,W.,Wilson,I.A.,Jiang,S.,Yang,B.,Lu,L.A pan-coronavirus Fusion Inhibitor Targeting the HR1 Domain of Human Coronavirus Spike.Science Advances.2019 Apr 10;5(4):eaav4580)。在2019-nCoV的细胞-细胞融合实验中,2019-HR2P系列多肽和EK1多肽都显示了较好的抑制效果,并且EK1-Plam和EK1-chol多肽抑制活性要明显优于EK1多肽,高达约10-100倍(图2)。而阴性对照2019-HR1P多肽均未显示活性。
同时,为了进一步确定本发明的多肽或多肽衍生物的抑制活性。在本发明中,发明人还用到另外一种公认的抗病毒药物活性评价模型—假病毒 感染模型。发明人在国际上率先建立了2019-nCoV假病毒感染系统,随后,检测2019-HR2P系列多肽和对照EK1多肽对其假病毒的抑制效果。如图3所示,2019-HR2P系列多肽显示出对2019-nCoV假病毒和活病毒均有较好的抑制效果,并且EK1-Plam和EK1-chol多肽抑制活性要明显优于EK1多肽,高达约6-120倍(图3及表2)。此结果与上述的MERS-CoV细胞-细胞融合实验结果较为一致。在SARS病毒和类SARS病毒的假病毒抑制实验中,也得到了相似的结果(图4、5、6和7)。而阴性对照2019-HR1P多肽均未显示活性。
本发明的多肽或多肽衍生物不仅显示出高效的抗2019-nCoV的活性,而且以2019-HR2P多肽为代表,其具体的抗病毒机制也得到了明确的展示。如图8a所示的Native Page实验中,2019-HR2P多肽和EK1多肽可以与衍生于2019-nCoV HR1区的2019-HR1P混合后,均产生了一条新的条带,该条带即为六螺旋条带。另外,在多肽的二级结构检测中显示,当2019-HR2P多肽和EK1多肽与2019-HR1P混合后,出现高度的螺旋结构,该结果符合六螺旋核心结构的CD光谱,而其Tm值表示其稳定程度(图8b)。由此可见,2019-HR2P多肽的抗病毒机制主要是通过与2019-nCoV病毒的HR1区域结合,干扰病毒自身6HB的形成,从而抑制病毒的融合进入过程。
综上表明,2019-HR2P系列多肽对2019-nCoV、SARS病毒、类SARS病毒有很好的抑制活性。为目前仍在流行的2019-nCoV以及未来有可能爆发的类SARS病毒提供了很好的预防和治疗的候选药物。并且2019-HR2P多肽清晰的抗病毒机制,可以保证其应用的安全性和优化途径的明确性,便于以后的进一步开发。

3.用不含血清的DMEM梯度稀释多肽抑制剂,体系为50μL,然后加入50μL病毒稀释液(750pfu/ml),混合后37℃孵育30min;
4.取100μL病毒/药物混合液加入到已经铺板在96孔板的靶细胞 上,5%CO2,37℃培养48小时;
5.收集每孔上清,定量检测上清中病毒RNA含量,从而检测抑制率。
结果显示:
SARS-CoV-2可以有效感染人体肠道组织,因此我们用人肠源细胞系评估多肽EK1、EK1-chol具有重要意义。结果如图10所示,EK1、EK1-chol多肽对SARS-CoV-2均具有高效抑制效果,其半数抑制浓度分别为573.2nM和5.5nM。

4.感染后第4天对小鼠进行安乐死,检测每组小鼠肺部和肠道组织的病毒载量。
(二)、结果显示:
EK1多肽通过呼吸道滴鼻治疗性给药可以显著降低病毒肺部(A)和肠道(B)的病毒载量(图11),表明EK1有较好的体内保护效果。
