Abstract

This invention discloses some receptor-selective lymphotoxin (LT) mutants and the ratio, the ability of these lymphotoxin mutants combining with the human TNFRI to that with the human TNFRII, is more than 10. The preparation method and the use of the above said LT mutants are also disclosed. In this invention, the LT mutants bind to the TNFRI selectively and that decreases the binding to the TNFRII in a large range, thereby the toxic effect which may be caused by the TNFRII will be reduced.

Description

Receptor-selective lymphotoxin (LT) derivative
Technical field
The invention belongs to protein engineering and pharmacy field, be specifically related to a kind of receptor-selective lymphotoxin (LT) derivative and method for making thereof and purposes.
Background technology
Lymphotoxin a (LT α) is also referred to as TNF β, is one of TNF superfamily member, is a class important cytokine.Compare with TNF, the 26S Proteasome Structure and Function of LT α is similar to TNF, has identical acceptor TNFRI, TNFRII, and the tumor cell type of the inhibition of LT α is slightly less than TNF, and the lethal effect of some tumour cell also is not quite similar.
LT α is produced by activated lymphocyte, be the secretor type glycoprotein of 25KD, the LT precursor contains 205 amino-acid residues, 34 amino-acid residue coded signal peptides wherein, sophisticated LT has 171 amino-acid residues (18kD) (SEQID NO:3), there is not disulfide linkage, the 62nd glycosylation site (glycosylation is inessential to its cytotoxic activity) for the N-connection, the action site of LT α and TNFRI, TNFRII concentrates on two lasso trick districts of tripolymer bottom.LT α homotrimer and TNFRI and TNFRII effect, thereby priming signal conduction.
TNFRI and TNFRII are in cell distribution, molecular weight, inequality in conjunction with the aspects such as biologic activity of the avidity of aglucon and mediation.TNFRI and TNFRII are present in except that in exo-erythrocytic all types of cells, and the existence of TNFRI is more general.The TNFRI acceptor mainly is expressed in epithelial cell, and the TNFRII acceptor mainly is expressed in medullary cell, and most cell is all expressed this two kinds of acceptors, but ratio is different.TNFRI is made up of 455 amino acid, and TNFRII is made up of 461 amino acid, all is I type transmembrane glycoprotein, by signal peptide, born of the same parents' outer structure district, stride membrane structure district and endochylema structural area and form.TNFRI cytoplasmic domain 326-413 position be dead zone (death domain, DD).TNFRI can be by DD in conjunction with the TNFR associated protein, transfer cell poison signal, and trigger cell is transferred and is died.The endochylema structural area of TNFRII does not have DD, and the signal that TNFRII transmitted mainly is confined in the immune system cell, with the immune response height correlation of virus infection.The homology of part is extremely low in the born of the same parents of TNFRI and TNFRII, illustrates that also they have different signal transduction paths, have different biological functions.
The biological activity of two kinds of receptor-mediated TNF has very big difference.The TNFa of mouse is similar to the bonding force of TNFRI of mouse and TNFRII, however people's TNFa TNFRI in conjunction with mouse, the TNFRII of debond mouse.In the experiment that causes death, people's TNFa has shown lower lethality rate than the TNFa of mouse, and this prompting TNFRII has very big influence to general toxicity.
Studies have shown that conduction has restraining effect to the TNFRII signal to insulin signaling, can alleviate the restraining effect of this signal to the insulin signaling conduction with anti-TNFRII antibody blocking TNFRII signal.
The TNFRII signal is also playing an important role aspect the adjusting vascular permeability.Anti-TNFRII antibody can be suppressed to the propagation of neurocyte oncocyte, and the cell killing vigor to TNF does not have influence simultaneously.In the mouse experiment, find that TNFRII participates in the injury of the kidney of cis-platinum mediation.
By transforming the calmodulin binding domain CaM of TNF and acceptor, obtain that TNFRI is had optionally TNF mutant, thereby promptly keep its cell killing activity tumour cell, alleviated the toxic side effect that TNFRII causes simultaneously, obtained good effect.In LT and the TNF body, external anti-tumor activity is equally matched, and toxicity is littler, the transformation period is longer, LT also has tangible chemotherapy sensitizing and radio therapy sensitization effect in addition.Therefore, the potential applicability in clinical practice of LT treatment tumour may be better than TNF.The lymphotoxin (LT) derivative LT α of the N terminal sequence 1-27 of disappearance LT α 28-171, be in II phase clinical stage at present, demonstrate clear and definite antitumor action.Yet LT still has certain toxic side effect, and therapeutic index is not high, and not high to the vigor that kills and wounds of some tumour cell, and these have all limited the application of lymphotoxin at field of medicaments.
Studies have shown that toxic side effect and the TNFRII signal correction of LT, the TNFRII signal can activate NF κ B, and NF κ B is important inflammatory factor, and the reaction that directly causes inflammation can also activate the multidrug resistant gene simultaneously, influences the curative effect of medicine to tumour cell.TNFRII also can compete part with TNFRI, causes LT insensitive to the tumour cell of TNFRII high expression level, has suppressed the cytotoxic activity of LT α.
At present, press for clinically and have optionally lymphotoxin of TNFRI, promptly kept the tumor cytotoxicity activity of lymphotoxin, reduced the toxic side effect of LT simultaneously; Make LT improve, can be applied to a greater variety of oncotherapies the tumour cell susceptibility of TNFRII high expression level; In LT and chemotherapy drugs in combination treatment, have better result of treatment, lower toxic side effect.
Yet, still do not have the gratifying lymphotoxin that TNFRI is had highly selective at present.Therefore, this area presses for that exploitation is new to have highly selective and the lymphotoxin mutant extremely low to the selectivity of TNFRII to TNFRI.

Discuss
LT108Y is the vital role residue of LT and acceptor.This 108Y residue is a high conservative, and the bonding force that any simple point mutation in this site all can produce LT and TNFR sharply descends, and receptor binding capacity descends more than 100 times.The inventor has carried out a large amount of mutation researches to the cover Cable Structure at LT108Y place, confirm that the cover Cable Structure that LT106-113 forms is the tight and discrepant position of effect of LT and TNFRI and TNFRII, sudden change in this zone may cause the generation significant change of LT to the avidity of TNFRI and TNFRII, the ideal survey region, the particularly amino acid of LT107 position that are acquisition receptor-selective mutant are huge to the bonding force influence of LT and two acceptors.Just show the selectivity of TNFRI of height when the residue Q-spoiling of LT107 position is E, D, N, R, the acceptor neutralization experimental results show that this point, the bonding force decline 200-40000 of LT and TNFRII times, and remain unchanged substantially with the binding ability of TNFRI; Illustrate that this regional amino acid character is very important, the bonding force of LTS106M mutant and TNFRI descends to some extent, and keep with the bonding force of TNFRII, the sudden change that the LT109 position is 110 also produces Different Effects to LT with combining of two acceptors, has proved that also this zone is the important research zone that obtains receptor-selective LT.By transformation, can design and two discrepant LT mutant of acceptor binding force this zone.
Compare with natural rhLT, rhLT of the present invention has the selective binding to TNFRI, and reducing with the TNFRII binding ability can be up to more than 200-40000 times.TNFRI selectivity LT has reduced the toxic side effect that TNFRII may cause, has lower general toxicity; Avoided TNFRII and TNFRI to the competition effect of LT and sTNFRII neutralizing effect to LT, thereby the susceptibility to the tumour cell of TNFRII high expression level improves, it is wider to press down the knurl pedigree, studies show that TNFRI optionally LT the lethal effect of kinds of tumor cells is strengthened, and better with chemotherapeutics coupling result of treatment.
