Background technique
Micro-pipe is the constituent of one of three threadlike networks of cytoskeleton, is complicated, unstable polymer, micro-
The basic unit of pipe is α-and 'beta '-tubulin dimer.For example, they are responsible for various kinds of cell movement, axonal transport or movement
Property, in particular, they provide the basic material for being used to form mitotic spindle.Micro-pipe constantly re-forms different length
Hollow tube.Therefore, by destroying the microtubule dynamics of cancer cell, peptide of the invention, which can play, prevents the anti-of cancer cell multiplication from having
The effect (slowing down or prevent the mitosis of cancer cell) of silk disintegrating agent.
Active peptide of the invention also shows the plasma membrane for specifically changing cancer cell, and shows in host organisms
Healthy cell in do not cause these identical changes.The active peptide has the property of polycation, therefore they can be acted on
On the plasma membrane of the cancer cell rich in negative electrical charge.
In the prior art, in order to improve the activity of albumen or peptide, specificity is carried out for the active site of albumen or peptide
Mutation and substitution, so that finding the higher variant of activity is conventional way.
Detailed description of the invention
Peptide shown in sequence SEQ ID No:1 is well known in the prior art can be used for treating cancer.But its
Activity is not very satisfactory.In order to further increase the bioactivity of the peptide, applicant through a large number of experiments, for
Specific site has carried out the modification that point mutation and both ends carry out specificity respectively in peptide shown in SEQ ID No:1, thus
Obtain the variant that there is higher tumor-suppression activity than peptide itself shown in SEQ ID No:1.
Specifically, the sequence for being used as the peptide of the active constituent for the treatment of cancer is (Table I) as follows:
Applicant has confirmation to the research of these peptides of SEQ ID No:2 to SEQ ID No:15, these peptides are relative to SEQ
The peptide of ID No:1 has higher cytotoxic activity to cancer cell, while having to the cell of host to be treated very weak
Toxicity or nontoxicity.Change to active peptide of the invention the micro-pipe of cancer cell.
The drug that cited peptide is used as treating cancer in Table I specifically can effectively treat leukaemia, liver cancer, glue
Matter blastoma etc..

Specific embodiment
A) the synthesis of peptide
The synthesis and purifying of peptide SEQ ID No:1 to SEQ ID No:17
It is prepared by using N-9- difluorophenyl methoxycarbonyl and Novasyn TGS resin manual separation synthesis in solid state
The peptide.The group of side chain protection includes the tert-butyl of serine and the tert-butoxycarbonyl of lysine.In order to prepare with second
Acetic anhydride is added in resin-peptide complexes by the peptide of acylated N-terminal residue after being connected to last amino acid residue,
And 1 hour is kept stirring to promote acetylation.
Pass through the trifluoroacetic acid/1,2- dithioglycol/methyl phenyl ethers anisole/phenol/water (volume ratio for being 10mL.g-1 with concentration
Handle 2 hours at room temperature 82.5:2.5:5:5:5) to shear the resin-peptide complexes.It is then filtered to remove tree
Rouge.Then 4 DEG C of ether is added, precipitates thick peptide, collects thick peptide after being then centrifuged 15 minutes with 1000g at room temperature.Then
Thick peptide is dissolved in water, and uses Shiseido C-18 semi-preparative column (250mm x 10.0mm;5 μm) with containing 0.1%
(v/v) 40% (v/v) acetonitrile of TFA is to carry out chromatography by RP-HPLC under the rate isocratic elution of 2mL/min.With
UV-DAD detector (ultraviolet light diode array detector) (Shimadzu, model SPD-M10A) adjusts elution at 215nm,
And the fraction of each elution is collected manually in the vial of 2mL.It is closed by HPLC and ESI-MS analysis to measure
At peptide (two kinds of peptides of acetylation and non-acetylation) sequence.After peptide is synthesized, purifies and examines, confirmation has obtained Table I institute
The peptide sequence shown.
B) activity of the peptide SEQ ID No:1-17 to healthy cell
Contact two kinds of nononcogenic fibroblast FIBRO1 and FIBRO2 with peptide SEQ ID No:1-17, it is strong to observe
Whether the microtubular network of health cell is also destroyed by the peptide.In the case where the use of peptide concentration being 15 μM, represent a variety of normal thin
The human fibroblasts of born of the same parents do not respond to (the tubulin density of polymerization does not change) to peptide SEQ ID No:1-15 at all.And
The fibroblast of SEQ ID No:16-17 processing is affected to tubulin density, thickness thinning about 15%.
This explanation, peptide SEQ ID No:1-15 are inactive to healthy cell.When peptide SEQ ID No:1-15 is used as mammal, especially
When being the therapeutic agent of people, in fact it is very likely to that seldom side effect occurs.
C) the measurement of cell Proliferation and cell survival rate
Following cell line (Table II) is analyzed, to determine the activity of simultaneously quantitation of peptides SEQ ID No:1-17.

With the volume of every hole 0.2mL will about 10000 cell inoculations into 96 hole microplates, after 24 hours, with peptide SEQ ID
No:1-17 is handled.By cell in CO under conditions of there are peptide SEQ ID No:1-172It is incubated at 37 DEG C in incubator
48 hours.After incubation, by MTT reagent or (3- (4,5- dimethyl -2- base) -2,5- diphenyl bromination tetrazolium (0.5mg/ml,
In the volume of 0.1ml) it is added in each hole and is incubated for 2 hours at 37 DEG C.Then, the tetrazole ring contained by MTT is lived
The succinate dehydrogenase of cell restores.Then, supernatant is removed, and 0.1ml lysis buffer is added (containing 10%tritonX100
With the isopropanol of 10%1N HCl) with dissolution be formed by bluish violet formazan precipitating.After a few minutes, existed at room temperature with microplate reader
Absorbance is measured under the Detection wavelength of 562nm.The survival rate of control cell is confirmed using the hole without peptide.By thin after processing
(peptide SEQ ID No:1-17 is at this come the IC50 that assesses each cell for the ratio of the absorbance of the absorbance and control cell of born of the same parents
Cause concentration when 50% cytotoxicity in a little cell lines) value, μM.
Table III
As shown in Table III, peptide SEQ ID No:2-15 significantly improves the proliferation of three of the above tumour cell.Than peptide SEQ
ID No:1 significantly reduces the virose dosage of cancer cell, and SEQ ID No:16 and 17 improves IC50 value instead,
Illustrate that the peptide SEQ ID No:2-15 of the application has compared with the existing technology to the better inhibitory effect of tumour cell, it can be into one
Step is used for the associated treatment of tumour.
Drug resistance of the cancer cell to peptide
SEQ ID No:1-15 is subjected to drug resistance experiment to cancer cell respectively, experimental method is the side of this field routine
Method, the peptide, which has, as the result is shown does not induce quick drug resistance process.
