Description

SLFN11 truncated peptide with sensitization effect, and application and pharmaceutical composition thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of biological medicines, and particularly relates to an SLFN11 truncated peptide with a sensitization effect, and also relates to application and a pharmaceutical composition of the SLFN11 truncated peptide.
Background
The morbidity and mortality of cancer is second only to cardiovascular diseases, placing a heavy economic and mental burden on society and families. Worldwide, there are approximately 1410 million new cancer cases per year. With the acceleration of global aging, cancer will become a major health problem for humans, a world disease that is seriously life-threatening.
Chemotherapy is one of the most effective means for treating cancer at present. However, long-term or high-volume use of chemotherapeutic drugs in cancer cells may result in drug resistance, and chemotherapy may even enhance the ability of residual cancer cells to invade and metastasize. Meanwhile, large dose chemotherapy brings great side effects to the body, so that it is necessary to increase the sensitivity of chemotherapy and reduce the dose of chemotherapy.
The sleep gene protein (SLFN) family plays a key role in development, immune response and cell proliferation. The SLFN11 protein is localized in the nucleus of the cell, and is one of the members of SLFN protein family expressed only in mammals. The level of SLFN11 expression is positively correlated with the sensitivity of the tumor cells to DNA damaging agents. After DNA damage, replication protein A1 (RPA 1) and damaged DNA are combined to promote DNA recombination repair. In SLFN11 high expression tumor cells, SLFN11 can combine with RPA1 to form heterodimer, so that RPA1 is dissociated from DNA, and recombination repair of damaged DNA is inhibited, thereby promoting apoptosis and death. High levels of SLFN11 not only increase the sensitivity of tumor cells to type I/II topoisomerase inhibitors, DNA synthesis inhibitors, and alkylating agents, but also allow cells to assume a more sensitive phenotype for both IR and UV damage. Therefore, exogenous SLFN11 can increase SLFN11 level of tumor cells, and enhance sensitivity of tumor cells to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, thereby being used as chemosensitizer for treating tumors.
Because the protein plays a role generally represented in a plurality of specific functional key regions, the peptide segments of the specific functional regions are cut out to form functional truncation peptides which can show stronger biological activity than the parent protein. These truncated peptides have the following characteristics: small molecular weight, high expression amount, fully exhibiting active structure domain, etc. and exposing some amino acids from the original internal structure to make the truncated peptide segment play new role.
However, exogenous truncated peptides are difficult to enter the cell interior from the cell membrane. Research proves that a Protein Transduction Domain (PTD) derived from a trans-activator of transcription (TAT) of human immunodeficiency virus type I (HIV-I) can efficiently, quickly and safely introduce different biological macromolecules (such as nucleic acid, polypeptide, protein and the like) with the molecular weight of 15-120kD into cells, and the introduced biological macromolecules still have biological activity and hardly have toxicity to host cells. The discovery of the TAT protein transduction domain brings new eosin for protein therapy, and shows great application value.

The sequence of the SLFN11 truncation peptide with sensitization is shown in SEQ ID No.1, and a synthetic polypeptide with transmembrane activity is designed by selecting a hydrophilic section of 634-661 amino acids of SLFN11, and can directly interact with RPA 1.
1. Design of polypeptides
The study shows that SLFN11 acts with RPA1 through peptide segment formed by 580-901 amino acids. Therefore, the hydrophilic region of 580-901 is selected to design and synthesize a peptide segment with transmembrane activity, which can directly interact with RPA1 to play the role of anti-tumor sensitization.
The hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity of the SLFN11 protein are analyzed by using a Kyteand Doolitte algorithm of online analysis software ProtScale, a 580-901 sequence of the SLFN11 is input, 8 hydrophilic region peptide sections less than 0.5 are selected, the sequences are shown in table 1, in order to promote the truncated peptides to penetrate cell membranes in later experiments, tat penetrating peptides (Trans-Activator of transcription) are added to the N ends of the selected 8 truncated peptides for modification, and the sequences of the 8 truncated peptides SLFN11t are shown in table 2.
The Tat penetrating peptide adopted by the invention is a Protein Transduction Domain (PTD) of trans-activator of transcription (TAT) of human immunodeficiency virus I (HIV-I), and the sequence of the Tat penetrating peptide is as follows: YGRKKRRQRRR.

2. Determination of the Activity of a polypeptide
Human breast cancer cells (MCF-7) are reported in the literature as SLFN11 low expressing cell lines. Thus, the results of testing the sensitization of each of the 8 truncated peptides SLFN11t to the antiproliferative activity of Camptothecin (CPT) by MTT assay were shown in FIG. 1, in which the model group was 5. Mu.M CPT and the administration group was 5. Mu.M MCPT and 50. Mu.M of different truncated peptides SLFN11t, by testing the sensitization of each of the 8 truncated peptides SLFN11t to the antiproliferative activity of Camptothecin (CPT) in MCF-7 cells. As can be seen from the figure, the truncated peptides Tat-SLFN11t-2 and Tat-SLFN11t-4 were most active, with sensitization effects on CPT of 19.48% and 19.88%, respectively. Thus, the best active Tat-SLFN11t-2 and Tat-SLFN11t-4 were selected for further study at a later stage.
