Detailed Description
The CCNDEGLEMRIK sequence is derived from 86-93 amino acid residues of human VEGF165 protein CCNDEGLE, MRIK is 107-110 amino acid residues, both are surface binding sites of VEGF165 and receptors thereof, and the amino acid sequences of the two peptide segments are integrated and artificially synthesized into a new amino acid sequence which can effectively bind VEGF receptors, but has no receptor activation structural domain, thus having no receptor activation capability and competitively inhibiting VEGF signal pathways, thereby inhibiting strong angiogenesis in tumor tissues.
The GDASLKMDKSDAV sequence is derived from 94-106 amino acid residues of human CD47 protein, the sequence is located in an immunoglobulin-like domain of an extracellular segment of CD47, the immunoglobulin-like domain is a region where CD47 and a ligand SIRP-alpha thereof recognize and combine mutually, an artificially synthesized GDASLKMDKSDAV sequence can be specifically combined on the SIRP-alpha protein on the surface of macrophage to competitively inhibit the combination of the SIRP-alpha and CD47, and after the immune check point of CD47 and the SIRP-alpha is blocked, the inhibition effect of tumor cells on the macrophage can be relieved, so that the macrophage recognizes and attacks the tumor cells, thereby achieving the purposes of killing and inhibiting the proliferation of the tumor cells.
After the anti-tumor polypeptide is combined with the SIRP-alpha molecule on the surface of the macrophage in a targeted manner, the macrophage is promoted to phagocytose tumor cells and is simultaneously combined with VEGFR2 on vascular endothelial cells in tumor tissues, angiogenesis in the tumor tissues is further inhibited, blood supply in the tumor tissues is blocked, the tumor tissues lack oxygen and nutrition supply, the microenvironment of the tumor tissues is changed, and finally, the proliferation of the tumor cells is inhibited and the tumor cells are killed.

10 mu L of mouse anti-human SIRP alpha monoclonal antibody (10 mu g/mL) is added into each group of SIRP alpha monoclonal antibody and PE marking polypeptide, 10 mu L of PE marking polypeptide is added for light-shielding reaction for 30min after the cells are incubated for 2h at 37 ℃, and the final concentration of the PE marking polypeptide is 1 mu g/mu L;
the 9 groups of cells were washed with pre-chilled 1 XPBS and centrifuged (1000rmp/10min)3 times, then resuspended in 200. mu.L of pre-chilled 1 XPBS, and each group of cells was examined separately with a flow cytometer.
The related statistical analysis is completed by SPSS10.0 software, and the main method is one-factor analysis of variance. If P is less than 0.05, the difference is statistically significant, and the result is shown in FIGS. 1-9.
The results of fig. 1-5 show that the fluorescence intensity of the cell surface is significantly increased after the PE-labeled polypeptide is incubated alone, indicating that a large amount of the PE-labeled polypeptide is bound to the cell surface, while fig. 6-9 show that when the PE-labeled polypeptide is incubated after the cells are treated with sirpa monoclonal antibody in advance, the fluorescence intensity approaches that of the blank control group, indicating that little or no PE-labeled polypeptide is bound to the cell surface, and the binding sites of the sirpa monoclonal antibody and the polypeptide are the same, so that the polypeptide of the present invention can specifically bind to sirpa on the macrophage surface.
Macrophage and tumor cell co-culture experiment:
taking a human THP-1 cell strain with high SIRP alpha expression as an experimental macrophage and taking MGC-803 cells with high CD47 expression as tumor cells;
collecting suspension cultured THP-1 cells, washing with 1 × PBS twice, re-suspending, counting, adding cell suspension into 24-well plate, and controlling total THP-1 number to 104Adding PMA with the final concentration of 100ng/mL into each well, inducing differentiation for 12h for adherence, adding harvested and counted MGC-803 cells, wherein the ratio of total number of THP-1 to MGC-803 cells is 1:15, simultaneously adding SIRPa monoclonal antibody (with the final concentration of 10 mug/mL) and polypeptide with the sequence of 1-7 (with the final concentration of 10 mug/mL) respectively, adding only 1mLPBS into a blank control group, adding only the same amount of MGC-803 cells into a tumor cell group, and carrying out no treatment, wherein each group is provided with three multiple wells.
37℃,5%CO2After the cells were co-cultured for 48h under the conditions, the cell viability was measured by the MTT method, and the tumor inhibition rate was calculated:
tumor inhibition rate (tumor cell group absorbance average-experimental group absorbance average)/tumor cell group absorbance average 100%
The results are shown in Table 17:
TABLE 17 Effect of polypeptides on macrophage and tumor cell Co-culture
The results show that the polypeptide blocks a CD47 and SIRP-alpha signal channel by combining with SIRP-alpha on the surface of macrophage, relieves the immunosuppressive action of tumor cells on the macrophage, effectively promotes the inhibitory action of the macrophage on the tumor cells, and ensures that the tumor inhibition rate of each polypeptide is obviously higher than that of a co-culture blank control group.
Chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane angiogenesis inhibition experiment
Taking 11-day-old chick embryos, marking an air chamber and a fetal position under an egg examination lamp, drawing a mark near the fetal position without great vessels with iodine, disinfecting the top of the air chamber and the mark with ethanol, drilling a small hole at the top of the air chamber, and grinding egg shells at the mark with an egg grinder to form a crack parallel to a longitudinal axis without damaging shell membranes. Laying the egg flat, removing the shell of the crack without damaging the shell membrane, pricking a small slit on the shell membrane without damaging the underlying chorioallantoic membrane, and dripping a drop of sterile physiological saline on the shell membrane. The air in the air chamber is slowly sucked from the small hole at the end of the air chamber by using a rubber nipple to generate negative pressure of the air chamber, and at the moment, the physiological saline sinks, the chorioallantoic membrane sinks, and an artificial air chamber is formed between the shell membrane and the allantoic membrane.
Uncovering the shell membrane on the artificial air chamber, exposing the chorioallantoic membrane (CAM), dripping 0.2-0.5mL of drug suspension on the chorioallantoic membrane, adding the sample, sealing the window with sterile transparent adhesive tape, incubating for 3 days, observing once every 12 hours, and sealing with sterile adhesive tape. Laying the chick embryo horizontally, and incubating at 37 ℃ to avoid turning over so as to avoid the displacement of the artificial air chamber. And taking out after 5 days for harvesting. Disinfecting the inoculated part and the periphery with iodine and ethanol, tearing off the egg shell at the closed part, enlarging the opening with a sterile forceps, slightly clamping the chorioallantoic membrane, shearing off the inoculated surface and the membranes at the periphery with sterile scissors, and fixing with formaldehyde.
And taking the fixed CAM membrane, dehydrating with ethanol, embedding in paraffin, and continuously slicing along the direction parallel to the CAM, wherein the thickness is 8 mu m. 0.5% toluidine blue stain. The cross section of the microvessels was counted under 250-fold visual field of the specimen, and the mean value of the counted microvessels was taken as the MVD (microvessel density) per unit area of the specimen as follows:
angiogenesis inhibition rate (blank group MVD value-experimental group MVD value)/blank group MVD value 100%
TABLE 18 determination of angiogenesis inhibiting drug efficacy
The results in Table 11 show that the invention can not only block CD47 and SIRP-alpha signal channel, but also obviously inhibit angiogenesis, and the effect is close to or better than that of VEGF monoclonal antibody (bevacizumab).
