Objective: To screen for simulation peptide binding specifically to the first and the second extra-cellular domain of CC chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5), and to observe their therapeutic effect on mice with experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). Methods: Phage display peptide library was used to screen for peptide sequence binding specifically to CCR5; ELISA was used to identify its binding activity and analyze its DNA sequence. The simulation peptide was synthesized and was injected into abdominal cavity of the EAE mice. Spinal cord tissues were obtained and the pathologic changes were studied by H-E staining in EAE control group and simulation peptide group. Results: Twenty phage clones were randomly chosen for identification and ELISA showed that there were eighteen clones had a strong binding activity with CCR5. The positive clones were sequenced and four peptides of high frequency were obtained: STFTTTL, TPIPQLL, SLPLPKP, and QTSSAAL. Mean clinical score of mice in the EAE model group was 3 and that of the simulation peptide group was 1. H-E staining found that the spinal cord tissues in EAE model group had great number of inflammatory cells and evident demyelination changes; the simulation peptide group had less inflammatory cells and no demyelination changes. The four short peptides had an effect of suppressing and delaying the development of EAE, with the average inhibition rate being 43% (P<0.05). Conclusion: The screened CCR5 simulation peptide has evident inhibitory effect against EAE, indicating that CCR5 may play an important role in the course of multiple sclerosis (MS).

AIMTo investigate the possibility of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) as a carrier for the delivery of macromolecular.

METHODSInsulin-loaded poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) nanoparticles (INS-PLGA-NPs) was prepared by a double-emulsion solvent evaporation method. The size distribution was examined by photo-correlation spectrometry. The entrapment efficiency was determined by HPLC and important factors that affected the entrapment efficiency were investigated. The loading mechanism of different size nanoparticles was assayed by radioimmunoassay (RIA). INS-PLGA-NPs release behavior in vitro was carried out under sink condition. After oral administration of the nanoparticles to alloxan-induced diabetic rats, its glucose level was determined by glucose oxidize method and the oral pharmacological bioavailability in contrast to s.c. of insulin solution was calculated according to the area over the curve.

RESULTSThe INS-PLGA-NPs was prepared with poloxamer 188 as a emulsifier, the mean diameter was 149.6 nm and the polydispersity index was decreased to 0.09. While the entrapment efficiency was increased to 42.8%. Most of the insulin loaded was adsorbed on the surface of the nanoparticles. The release behavior in vitro showed an initial burst effect followed by a slower rate stage. After oral administration of 10 u.kg-1 INS-PLGA-NPs, the plasma glucose level decreased significantly after 4 h (P < 0.05), 10 h later the glucose level decreased to the lowest (52.4% +/- 10.2%, P < 0.01) and the relative pharmacological bioavailability is (10.3 +/- 0.8)%.

CONCLUSIONPLGA-NPs might be used as a new oral carrier for protein drug delivery systems in the future.
