A kind of peptide variant and application thereof for the treatment of cancer
Technical field
The invention belongs to biological technical field, specifically, the present invention relates to treat the peptide variant of cancer.
Background technology
Microtubule is the constituent of one of three thread networks of cytoskeleton, is complicated, unsettled polymer, micro-The elementary cell of pipe is α-and 'beta '-tubulin dimer. For example, they are responsible for various kinds of cell motion, aixs cylinder transport or motionProperty, particularly, they are provided for forming the stock of mitotic spindle. Microtubule constantly forms different length againHollow tube. Therefore,, by tumoricidal microtubule dynamics, Toplink of the present invention plays and stops the anti-of cancer cell multiplication to haveThe effect (slow down or stop the mitosis of cancer cell) of silk disintegrating agent.
Active peptide of the present invention also shows the plasma membrane that changes specifically cancer cell, and shows at host organismsHealthy cell in do not cause the change that these are identical. Described active peptide has the character of polycation, and therefore they can act onOn the plasma membrane of cancer cell that is rich in negative electrical charge.
In the prior art, in order to improve the activity of albumen or peptide, carry out specificity for the avtive spot of albumen or peptideSudden change and replacement, be conventional way thereby find active higher variant.
Summary of the invention
Peptide shown in sequence SEQIDNo:1 well known in the prior artly can be used to treat cancer. But itsActivity is not very satisfactory. In order further to improve the biologically active of this peptide, applicant is by a large amount of experiments, forIn peptide shown in SEQIDNo:1, point mutation has been carried out and specific modification is carried out respectively at two ends in specific site, therebyObtain the variant itself than the peptide shown in SEQIDNo:1 with higher tumor-suppression activity.
Particularly, be used as the sequence (Table I) as follows of the peptide of the active component for the treatment of cancer:

Detailed description of the invention
A)Synthesizing of peptide
Synthetic and the purifying of peptide SEQIDNo:1 to SEQIDNo:17
Described in synthesizing to prepare by N-9-difluorophenyl methoxycarbonyl and NovasynTGS resin manual separation solid phasePeptide. The group of side chain protected comprises the tert-butyl group of serine and the tert-butoxycarbonyl of lysine. There is acetylation in order to prepareThe peptide of N terminal residue, having connected after last amino acid residue, acetic anhydride is joined in resin-peptide complexes, andKeep stirring 1 hour to promote acetylation.
By trifluoroacetic acid/1 that is 10mL.g-1 by concentration, 2-dithioglycol/methyl phenyl ethers anisole/phenol/water (volume ratio82.5:2.5:5:5:5) at room temperature process and within 2 hours, shear described resin-peptide complexes. Filter subsequently to remove treeFat. Then add the ether of 4 ° of C, make thick peptide precipitation, at room temperature after centrifugal 15 minutes, collect thick peptide with 1000g subsequently. SubsequentlyThick peptide is dissolved in water, and uses ShiseidoC-18 semi-preparative column (250mmx10.0mm; 5 μ are m) with containing 0.1%(v/v) 40%(v/v of TFA) carry out chromatography by RP-HPLC under the speed isocratic elution of acetonitrile with 2mL/min. WithUV-DAD detector (ultraviolet PDAD) (Shimadzu, model SPD-M10A) regulates wash-out under 215nm,And the cut of each wash-out is manually collected in the vial of 2mL. Analyze to measure by HPLC and ESI-MS and closeThe sequence of the peptide (two kinds of peptides of acetylation and non-acetylation) becoming. Be synthesized at peptide, after purifying inspection, confirm to have obtained Table I instituteThe peptide sequence showing.
B)The activity of peptide SEQIDNo:1-17 to healthy cell
Two kinds of nononcogenic fibroblast FIBRO1 are contacted with peptide SEQIDNo:1-17 with FIBRO2, healthy thin to observeWhether born of the same parents' microtubule network is also destroyed by this peptide. In the situation that using peptide concentration to be 15 μ M, represent multiple NormocellularHF does not respond (the tubulin density of polymerization does not change) to peptide SEQIDNo:1-15 at all. And SEQIDNo:16-17 process fibroblast larger on the impact of tubulin density, its thickness attenuation about 15%. This saysBright, peptide SEQIDNo:1-15 is to healthy cell non-activity. When peptide SEQIDNo:1-15 is used as mammal, especially peopleTherapeutic agent time, in fact very likely there is little side effect.
C) mensuration of cell proliferation and cell survival rate
Analyze following clone (Table II), to determine the also activity of quantitation of peptides SEQIDNo:1-17.

Glioblastoma | U87M6 |
Volume with every hole 0.2mL is inoculated into approximately 10000 cells in 96 hole microplates, after 24 hours, uses peptide SEQIDNo:1-17 processes. Under the condition that has peptide SEQIDNo:1-17 by cell at CO2In incubator, under 37 ° of C, hatch 48Hour. After hatching, by MTT reagent or (3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl bromination tetrazolium (0.5mg/ml,In the volume of 0.1ml) join in each hole and under 37 ° of C and hatch 2 hours. Then, the contained tetrazole ring of MTT is lived carefullyBorn of the same parents' succinate dehydrogenase reduction. Then, remove supernatant, and add 0.1ml lysis buffer (contain 10%tritonX100 andThe isopropyl alcohol of 10%1NHCl) the bluish violet formazan precipitation that formed to dissolve. After a few minutes, at room temperature use ELIASA to existUnder the detection wavelength of 562nm, measure absorbance. Confirm the survival rate of control cells with the hole that does not contain peptide. Rear thin by processingThe ratio of born of the same parents' absorbance and the absorbance of control cells is assessed the IC50(peptide SEQIDNo:1-17 of each cell at thisConcentration while causing 50% cytotoxicity in a little clone) value, μ M.

As shown in Table III, peptide SEQIDNo:2-15 has significantly improved the propagation of above three kinds of tumour cells. Than peptide SEQIDNo:1 is reduced significantly to the virose dosage of cancer cell, and SEQIDNo:16 and 17 has improved IC50 value on the contrary, saysBright the application's peptide SEQIDNo:2-15 has the better inhibition of pair tumour cell with respect to prior art, can be furtherFor the associated treatment of tumour.
The drug resistance of cancer cell to peptide
SEQIDNo:1-15 is carried out to drug resistance experiment to cancer cell respectively, and experimental technique is the method for this area routine, knotFruit shows that this peptide has the quick resistance process of not inducing.
