Description

Application of IL-6R inhibitor and IL-4R inhibitor combined medicine in breast cancer chemotherapy medicine
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of chemotherapeutic drugs, in particular to application of a combined drug of an IL-6R inhibitor and an IL-4R inhibitor in breast cancer chemotherapeutic drugs.
Background
The immune system is a major participant in tumor microenvironment crosstalk. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), which account for 50% of the total tumor mass, are the major immune cell population that constitutes the tumor microenvironment, and are characterized by the ability to promote tumor growth and angiogenesis, tissue remodeling, and suppress adaptive immunity. Macrophages have a high plasticity for a variety of external signals and are involved in innate and adoptive immune responses. Depending on the microenvironment signal present, macrophages are polarized into two distinct phenotypes, either classically activated (M1) or alternatively activated (M2) macrophages. Tumor Associated Macrophages (TAMs) are very similar to polarized M2. Clinical pathology studies have shown that accumulation of TAMs in tumors is associated with a poor clinical prognosis. In human breast cancer, high TAM density is associated with poor prognosis. Over the years, studies of the role of TAMs in breast cancer progression have established that TAMs are capable of inducing angiogenesis, remodeling the tumor extracellular matrix to aid invasion, modeling breast cancer cells to evade the host immune system and recruit immunosuppressive leukocytes to the tumor microenvironment. M1 macrophages are derived from interferon gamma (IFN-. gamma.) or Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation and secrete inflammatory cytokines (e.g., IL-6, IL-12, Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), reactive nitrogen species (RN) and TNF-. alpha.). Validated macrophage surface markers of human M1 include high levels of CD14 and CD16, CD64, CD86, and HLA-DR α. M2 macrophages can be further classified into M2a, M2b and M2c macrophages. M2a macrophages are derived from IL-4 or IL-13 stimulation and release matrix remodeling cytokines. Elevated expression of CD206 and CD86 are validated phenotypic markers of macrophage M2 a. M2b macrophages are produced by immune complexes in combination with IL-1 β or LPS stimulation, and as with M2a macrophages, are involved in wound healing. Immunosuppressive M2c macrophages are products of IL-10, TGF- β (transforming growth factor β), glucocorticoids or an immune complex rich environment. Macrophage M2C further produces IL-10 and matrix remodeling factors such as Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs). High expression of CD163 expression is a valid marker for M2c polarization.
IL-4 is a multifunctional cytokine secreted mainly by type 2T helper cells (Th2), and can specifically bind to IL-4 receptor (IL-4R) on the surface of target cells to play corresponding biological role. IL-4 can bind to IL-4R on the surface of tumor cells, activating the JAK1/STAT6 signaling pathway. Affecting the polarization and function of macrophages around the tumor, thereby affecting tumor cells, causing the tumor to have immune escape, and finally causing the tumor to progress and metastasize.
In the breast cancer microenvironment, IL-6 is involved in promoting the polarization of tumor-associated macrophage M1, but IL-6 has also been shown to initiate epithelial-mesenchymal transition of tumor cells, activate cell membrane surface signal transducers (gp 130), induce signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT 3) activation, activate the IL-6/STAT 3 signaling pathway, and IL-6 binds to the IL-6 receptor alpha chain and transduces downstream signals through the gp130 receptor, which recruits Jak2 tyrosine kinase and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT 3) transcription factors. Activated STAT3 induces inhibitors of cytokine signaling 3 in IL-6 target genes, such as macrophages. Activation of this pathway results in increased Twist expression, thereby decreasing E-cadherin expression, increasing N-cadherin expression, and promoting polarization of tumor-associated macrophage M2, thereby promoting tumor cell growth, proliferation, and migration.
IL-4 has been proved to be involved in promoting the polarization of tumor-associated macrophage M2, while IL-6 promotes the polarization of macrophage M1 type, secretes proinflammatory factors and chemokines and inhibits the development of tumors in the early stage of tumor development, and with the accumulation of IL-6, the polarization of macrophage M2 induced by IL-4 can be enhanced through the synergistic effect of STAT3, STAT6 and BATF transcription factors, and at present, no specific therapeutic drug aiming at IL-6 exists in breast cancer therapeutic drugs.
