Composition and methods for treating ischemic damage
The present disclosure relates to a composition for treating and preventing an ischemic injury. More particularly, it relates to a composition containing a peptide derived from a telomerase, which is effective in treating and preventing an ischemic injury. The peptide according to the present disclosure, a peptide having 80% or more sequence identity with the amino acid sequence of the peptide or a peptide which is a fragment thereof, has a superior effect of treating and preventing an ischemic injury. Accordingly, a composition containing the peptide may be effectively used for an ischemic injury, particularly for an ischemic-reperfusion injury.
1. A method of treating an ischemic injury, comprising: administering to a subject with an ischemic injury an effective dose of an isolated telomerase peptide consisting of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, wherein the administration decreases the ischemic injury.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the ischemic injury is selected from the group consisting of ischemic-reperfusion injury, vascular disease, coronary thrombosis, cerebrovascular thrombosis, aneurysm rupture, systemic hemorrhage, crush injury, sepsis, vascular ligation surgery, cardiopulmonary bypass, organ transplantation, injury caused by cardiopulmonary collapse and injury caused by suffocation.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the peptide is administered in a single dose at a concentration of 0.1 μg/kg to 1.0 g/kg.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the peptide is administered in a single dose at a concentration of 1 μg/kg to 10 mg/kg.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the peptide is administered 1 to 3 times a day.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the peptide is administered at a daily dose of 0.1 μg/kg to 1.0 g/kg.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the peptide is administered 1 to 3 times daily.
8. A method of treating an ischemic injury, comprising: administering to a subject with an ischemic injury an effective dose of a composition comprising an isolated telomerase peptide consisting of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, wherein the administration decreases the ischemic injury.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the ischemic injury is selected from the group consisting of ischemic-reperfusion injury, vascular disease, coronary thrombosis, cerebrovascular thrombosis, aneurysm rupture, systemic hemorrhage, crush injury, sepsis, vascular ligation surgery, cardiopulmonary bypass, organ transplantation, injury caused by cardiopulmonary collapse and injury caused by suffocation.
10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the composition is administered through oral, rectal, transdermal, intravenous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, in the bone marrow, epidural, or subcutaneous routes.
11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the composition comprises 0.1 μg/mg to 1 mg/mg of isolated peptide.
12. The method of claim 8 , wherein the peptide is administered in a single dose at a concentration of 0.1 μg/kg to 1.0 g/kg.
13. The method of claim 8 , wherein the peptide is administered in a single dose at a concentration of 1 μg/kg to 10 mg/kg.
14. The method of claim 8 , wherein the peptide is administered 1 to 3 times a day.
15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the peptide is administered at a daily dose of 0.1 μg/kg to 1.0 g/kg.
16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the peptide is administered 1 to 3 times daily.
