项目摘要

It is widely accepted that effects of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) result from inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX) activities. COX has two isoforms, constitutive enzyme COX-1 and inducible enzyme COX-2. COX-2 selective inhibitors are considered as promised NSAIDs with low side effects derived from inhibition of COX-1 activity. However, recent reports show COX-2 selective inhibitors have also side effects such as increase risk of serious coronary heart disease, indicating a growing need for searching other drug targets. As one of the novel targets, microsomal prostaglandin E synthase (mPGES) is noteworthy because it is more selectively induced than COX-2 in inflammatory sites. On the other hand, 5-lipoxygenase activating protein (FRAP), a member of the same family of mPGES, and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR), a member of nuclear receptor superfamily, are recognized as drug targets against lifestyle-related diseases. We found that resveratrol, a polyphenol contained in red wines, is a dual agonist for PPARα and γ, and that resveratrol protects the brain against ischemia by activation of PPARα. Remarkably, MK-886, a dual inhibitor for mPGES and FLAP is reported to be a PPARα antagonist, indicating the possibility of the side effect of mPGES inhibitor by its antagonistic activity for PPAR. The aim of this study is to determine the three-dimensional structures of mPGES, FLAP and PPARα for development of novel drugs based on their structures. We successfully expressed and purified these recombinant proteins, and are still investigating the conditions for their good crystallization. We obtained a protein crystal for FLAP by the lipidic cubic phase method, which is a newly developed.

人们普遍认为，非甾体类抗炎药 (NSAID) 的作用是通过抑制环氧合酶 (COX) 活性来实现的，COX 有两种异构体：组成型酶 COX-1 和诱导型酶 COX-2 被认为是选择性抑制剂。承诺的非甾体抗炎药因抑制 COX-1 活性而具有低副作用，但最近的报告显示 COX-2 选择性抑制剂也有副作用，例如增加严重冠心病的风险。表明对寻找其他药物靶点的需求不断增长，微粒体前列腺素 E 合酶 (mPGES) 值得注意，因为它在炎症部位比 COX-2 更具选择性诱导。激活蛋白（FRAP）是 mPGES 同一家族的成员，过氧化物酶体增殖物激活受体（PPAR）是核受体超家族的成员，被认为是针对生活方式相关疾病的药物靶标。我们发现白藜芦醇（红酒中含有的一种多酚）是 PPARα 和 γ 的双重激动剂，并且白藜芦醇通过激活 PPARα 来保护大脑免受缺血。值得注意的是，mPGES 和 FLAP 的双重抑制剂 MK-886 具有抗氧化作用。据报道是一种 PPARα 拮抗剂，表明 mPGES 抑制剂可能因其对 PPAR 的拮抗活性而产生副作用。根据mPGES、FLAP和PPARα的结构确定了它们的三维结构，用于开发新的药物。我们成功地表达和纯化了这些重组蛋白，并且仍在研究它们良好结晶的条件。我们通过以下方法获得了FLAP的蛋白晶体。脂质立方相法是一种新开发的方法。
