摘要:

摘要 目的:利用糖尿病肾病(diabetic nephropathy, DN)患者微分离的肾小球全基因组表达数据,借助关联性图谱(Connectivity Map, CMAP)数据库和生物信息学方法,探寻具有DN治疗作用的潜在药物。方法:选取中国汉族DN患者23例和正常对照6例,微分离肾小球,利用Affymetrix U133 Plus 2.0全基因组表达谱芯片检测获得基因表达数据,获得不同分期DN患者之间的差异表达基因后,进一步通过2种不同的生物信息学方法寻找DN的潜在治疗药物;并阐明DN治疗药物可能的分子作用机制。结果:利用DN晚期和早期相比的差异表达基因和CMAP数据库,筛选出小白菊内酯(parthenolide)、荜茇酰胺(piperlongumine)、15-脱氧前列腺素J2(15d-PGJ2)和LY-294002(PI3K抑制剂)等候选药物。上述药物能够逆转DN患者在疾病进展过程中肾小球基因表达的变化,提示这些药物可能具有DN治疗的潜能。既往研究证实这些药物对DN有一定的治疗作用,验证了该药物筛选方法的可靠性。结论:利用DN患者肾小球全基因组表达谱和CMAP数据库能够快速筛选出具有DN治疗潜能的药物,候选药物可以进行下一步的动物和临床试验以证实其治疗的安全性和有效性,应用前景广阔。

Abstract:

Abstract Objective: To investigate potential drugs for diabetic nephropathy (DN) using whole-genome expression profile and the Connectivity Map (CMAP). Methodology: Twenty three Chinese Han DN patients and six normal controls were included in this study. Whole-genome expression profiles of micro-dissected glomeruli were measured using the Affymetrix human U133 plus 2.0 chip. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between late stage and early stage DN samples and CMAP database were used to identify potential drugs for DN using bioinformatics methods. The molecular mechanisms of the potential drugs were also investigated. Results: Parthenolide, piperlongumine, 15d-PGJ2 and LY-294002 were predicted to maximally reverse the disease-associated expression of genes in glomerular of DN patients. Additional literature analysis of published researches showed that these drugs had therapeutic potential for DN. Conclusion: Using whole genome expression profiles and the CMAP database, the potential drugs for DN were rapidly predicted, and therapeutic potential was confirmed by previously published studies. Animal experiments and clinical trials are needed to confirm both the safety and efficacy of these drugs in the treatment of DN.
