Description

Affinity agent of TIGIT-IgV and application thereof
The technical field is as follows:
the invention belongs to the technical field of biological pharmacy, and particularly relates to a TIGIT-IgV affinity agent and application thereof in tumor and other related diseases.
Background art:
tumor immunotherapy, especially based on the blockade of immune checkpoint molecules, is the most promising direction of research in the field of tumor therapy. Immune checkpoint molecules refer to a series of functionally non-redundant negative co-stimulatory molecules expressed by T cells or NK cells, such as PD-1, TIM-3, LAG-3, TIGIT, and the like. When the immune system is activated by external stimulation, the expression of immune check point molecules is up-regulated, and the immune check point molecules are combined with ligand molecules on antigen presenting cells to play a 'brake' function to prevent over-activation of T cells. Over-expression or over-strong function of immune checkpoint molecules can mediate immune tolerance to cause diseases such as tumors and the like; conversely, the body may be in a state of sustained immune activation leading to hyperimmunity or autoimmune disease.
Currently, the best studied immune checkpoint molecule is PD-1, blocking its mediated negative signaling pathway of PD-1/PD-L1 can break immune tolerance, activate T cell killing in the tumor microenvironment and clear the tumor. PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies have made breakthrough progress in the clinical treatment of melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer, and Hodgkin's lymphoma, among other tumor types. However, the low response rate of PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies and adaptive resistance due to up-regulation of expression of other immune checkpoint molecules, there is an urgent need to find new therapeutic targets and develop corresponding drugs.
TIGIT is an immune checkpoint molecule mainly expressed in NK cells, activated T cells and regulatory T cells, and binds to a ligand molecule PVR expressed on tumor cells or DC cells to exert an inhibitory function. TIGIT can directly inhibit the cytotoxic action, granzyme polarization and cytokine secretion of NK cells and can also inhibit T cell proliferation and cytokine secretion. The TIGIT is blocked to break a TIGIT/PVR mediated negative signal path, the functions of NK cells and T cells exhausted in a tumor-bearing mouse body can be recovered simultaneously, and the tumor growth is obviously inhibited. The antibody combined blocking TIGIT, PD-1 and PD-L1 can obviously inhibit the tumor growth (even regress) of tumor-bearing mice and can also promote CD8 of tumor patients + TIL cell proliferation and cytokine secretion. TIGIT has become exemptNeologism in checkpoint molecules, blockade of TIGIT alone or in combination with other immune checkpoint molecules or will be a new trend in immunotherapy. In addition, TIGIT plays an important role in the immune system of the body, playing an important regulatory role in the immune pathogenesis of various autoimmune diseases, in addition to the above-mentioned widespread applications in the oncological field, as well as in bacterial and viral infections, such as chronic infection with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), infection with human T-lymphoblastic leukemia virus type I and infection with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus. Therefore, based on the TIGIT/PVR pathway regulation, the problem that scientists are facing and urgently need to solve is to find a reasonable and effective treatment strategy.
TIGIT blockers were studied at an early stage and are mostly antibody drugs. Some characteristics of the antibody drug such as large molecular weight and difficult infiltration to tumor sites; the Fc segment of the antibody is easy to cause immune-related adverse reactions; the half life is too long, and once side effects appear in the treatment process, the side effects are difficult to treat in time; the antibody has strong immunogenicity, and is easy to generate anti-antibody to cause drug resistance and the like, so that the antibody drug is limited to play a full role. Polypeptide drugs have the advantages of strong permeability, weak immunogenicity, and easy synthesis and modification, and research reports have shown that polypeptides aiming at immune checkpoints can be used for diagnosis and in vivo tracing, and can also be designed into nanoparticles for drug delivery, drug sustained release, and the like.
Most of the existing polypeptide drugs targeting immune checkpoint molecules have natural L configuration, and are easily degraded by enzymes in vivo and difficult to exert the corresponding effect. Because the enzyme for degrading the D-configuration polypeptide does not exist in vivo, the D-configuration polypeptide drug is more stable and has better application prospect.
At present, polypeptide drugs targeting TIGIT, in particular D-configuration polypeptide drugs with stable activity, are in urgent need of development and are applied to TIGIT-related scientific research and disease treatment.

a) Carrying out tumor loading: collecting CT26 colorectal cancer cells, B16-OVA melanoma cells and 4T1 breast cancer cells with good growth state, and respectively carrying tumor BALB/c mice (2 × 10) 5 Cell/cell), C57BL/6 mice (5X 10) 5 Cell/cell) and BALB/c mice (1X 10) 4 Cell/cell).
b) For CT26 or B16-OVA tumor-bearing mice, the tumor-bearing mice have tumor volume of about 40-80mm after about one week 3 The mice are subjected to S-shaped grouping according to the sizes of the tumors of the mice, and are subjected to intraperitoneal administration every day for 2 weeks continuously, the weights of the mice are weighed by using an electronic balance every other day during administration, the tumors of the mice are measured by a digital vernier caliper, and the volume change of the tumors of the mice is calculated and recorded according to a formula V =1/2 × a (length) × b (width) × c (height);
c) For 4T1 tumor-bearing mice, after 12 days of tumor bearing, S-shaped groups are carried out according to the tumor sizes of the mice, the mice are subjected to intraperitoneal administration every day for 2 weeks, the weight and the tumor volume change of the mice are recorded, after 34 days of tumor bearing, the tumor-bearing mice are dissected, and the number of the metastasis of the lung of each group of mice is observed and recorded.
The mental status of mice was good during the administration of the three transplanted tumor models, and the results of each experiment are shown in FIGS. 6-12.
10. In vivo imaging experiments prove the tissue infiltration of the affinity peptide TBP-3, and the specific implementation method is as follows:
a) Selecting CT26 tumor-bearing mice with uniform tumor size, and injecting 200 mu g of Cy5.5 fluorescence-labeled affinity peptide TBP-3-Cy5.5 and equimolar fluorescent dye Cy5.5 into tail vein;
b) After tail vein injection is carried out for 0h and 24h, a living body imaging system of a small animal is utilized to detect the distribution of fluorescence in a mouse body, the tumor-bearing mouse is dissected after 24h, and the tumor tissue and organs (heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney and brain) of the mouse are taken to carry out fluorescence detection;
the result shows that the fluorescent-labeled affinity peptide TBP-3-Cy5.5 is mainly distributed at the tumor tissue part of the tumor-bearing mouse, which indicates that the affinity peptide has stronger tumor tissue infiltration capacity, the fluorescent dye is mainly distributed at the kidney, and the fluorescence intensity statistical result is shown in figure 13.
