Description

CD44 antagonistic polypeptide, derivative and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of biotechnology and biomedicine, in particular to a colorectal cancer target CD44 receptor antagonist polypeptide HL7-ML1 and derivatives and application thereof.
Background
Non small cell carcinoma
According to the investigation of the American cancer society in 2018, lung cancer is the malignant tumor with the highest morbidity (11.6%) and mortality (18.4%) worldwide, and in China, the lung cancer is the first malignant tumor, accounts for 78.7% and is far higher than other cancers.
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients in China account for about 85 percent of all lung cancers. About 75% of patients have been found to be in the middle and advanced stages, with a very low 5-year survival rate. Because the incubation period is long and the mortality rate is high, the non-small cell cancer becomes the cancer which is the most serious harm in China at present, which not only seriously affects the health of people, but also is a deep social problem.
In the face of severe conditions, the research and prevention of NSCLC need to be paid much attention. Early lung cancer treatment is mainly performed by operation, but due to the reasons of unobvious early symptoms and the like, about 80% of patients miss the optimal period of the operation when the patients are diagnosed, and the lung cancer has high recurrence rate and metastasis rate after operation, so that the treatment mainly performed by medicines is long in time and slow in effect, and seriously threatens the life health of the patients.
With the continuous development of NSCLC driver gene mutation research represented by EGFR, molecular targeted drugs, such as epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs), have gradually gained medical attention and have been widely applied to clinical treatment of advanced NSCLC. However, acquired resistance developed after a period of treatment with EGFR-TKIs (9-13 months) and was one of the difficulties in treating advanced NSCLC. In recent years, relevant researches show that the enrichment of tumor stem cells and the EMT transformation are important reasons for the NSCLC patients to generate drug resistance to EGFR-TKIs, the mediated malignancy degree of the drug-resistant cells is far higher than that of the drug-resistant cells obtained from T790M mutation and other reasons, and an effective targeted treatment method aiming at the tumor stem cells and the EMT is still absent at present. Therefore, the mechanism of acquired drug resistance of the tumor stem cells and the EMT mediated EGFR-TKIs is clarified, a new target point of reversed drug resistance is found, a targeted treatment strategy aiming at CSCs and EMT is established, the toxic and side effects of traditional treatment are reduced, the curative effect is improved, and the method has important theoretical significance and clinical value.
EMT is one of the main reasons for acquired drug resistance of EGFR-TKIs in NSCLC
EMT is an important biological process for malignant cells of epithelial origin to acquire the ability to migrate and invade. EMT can be excited by TGF-beta, AKT, notch, NF-kB and other signal paths, and forms a signal network containing a plurality of positive feedback loops together with intracellular transcription factors such as Slug, snail, zeb1, zeb2, twist and the like, so as to reduce the expression of epithelial cell markers such as N-Cadherin, E-Cadherin and the like, and up-regulate the expression of mesenchymal markers such as Vimentin, fibronectin and the like, promote the transformation of epithelial cells to mesenchymal cells, and further change the mesenchymal cells into mesenchymal stem cells.
The study demonstrated that EMT transformation is closely associated with acquired resistance to EGFR-TKIs. One recurrent focus puncture sample from erlotinib-acquired resistant patients indicates that acquisition of the interstitial phenotype is the primary cause of resistance; the EMT phenotype is also repeated in EGFR-TKIs drug-resistant NSCLC cell strains HCC827/CLR and HCC4006/ER constructed in vitro; in addition, the analysis result of clinical samples of lung cancer patients relapsed after 67 cases of chemotherapy combined with EGFR-TKIs shows that lung cancer tissues insensitive to EGFR-TKIs often highly express mesenchymal markers Vimentin, fibronectin and the like, while patients highly expressing E-cadherin have longer PFS; after EMT-developing lung cancer re-expresses E-cadherin, tumor cells can restore the sensitivity to EGFR-TKIs treatment. Patients positive for EGFR mutations who take oxicetinib also face the problem of secondary resistance. An Osteinib drug-resistant H1975 cell line (a drug-resistant cell line containing a T790 mutation) is constructed in vitro, and the EMT transformation is found to be the main reason for generating secondary drug resistance; on the other hand, patients who acquire EGFR-TKI resistance through the EMT pathway progress faster and have worse prognosis than those who are resistant due to the T790M mutation. These results all demonstrate that EMT is the major cause of acquired resistance to EGFR-TKIs in NSCLC patients and is associated with poor prognosis of the patients. However, the mechanism by which EMT mediates resistance to EGFR-TKIs is not clear. The research clarifies the important role of EMT in the process of generating EGFR-TKIs by constructing an EGFR-TKIs drug-resistant NSNLC cell model.
The enrichment of tumor stem cells is the main reason for the drug resistance after EMT transformation
CSCs are a group of malignant tumor cells with characteristics of self-renewal, high tumorigenicity, differentiation potential, high drug resistance, and the like. CSCs have multiple resistance mechanisms, mainly including: 1 high expression of drug efflux by the ATP-binding transporters ABCG2 and MDR1, etc.; enhanced DNA damage repair capacity; o 3 high expression of anti-apoptotic genes; o4 is more in the resting stage and insensitive to common chemotherapeutic drugs, which is the root cause that CSCs can escape the existing tumor chemoradiotherapy means, resulting in tumor recurrence and metastasis.
Recent studies have shown that the formation of CSCs is regulated by EMT, suggesting that EMT may be an important factor in the maintenance of the dryness of CSCs. The proportion of tumor stem cells is increased after inducing the immortalized human mammary epithelial cells (HLMEs) to generate EMT; isolating tumor stem cells from HLMEs and human breast cancer cells, both with EMT phenotype [10]; the content of CSCs in the tumor cells is increased in the processes of invasion and EMT transformation; TGF-beta 1 induces NSCLC cells which generate EMT and has strong stem cell characteristics. Taken together, the enrichment of CSCs is the underlying cause of EMT-mediated resistance in tumor cells. The targeted elimination of these CSCs and the regulation of the associated segment will help to suppress metastasis of cancer cells. However, due to the lack of effective strategies for targeted killing of CSCs, it is difficult to directly kill CSCs, and the present subject attempts to establish new therapeutic strategies through research on the biological properties of CSCs, and related signal pathways and cell regulation mechanisms, thereby providing new ideas for targeted killing of CSCs.
CD44 plays an important role in the self-renewal of CSCs and the development of multiple drug resistance
CD44 is a transmembrane glycoprotein belonging to a Hyaluronic Acid (HA) receptor among adhesion molecules, widely distributed in the human body, involved in many biological processes, and its high expression is closely related to poor prognosis of patients. CD44 is mostly in a quiescent state on normal cells, and HAs no binding activity to Hyaluronic Acid (HA), whereas it is in a highly active state on CSCs, and is involved in regulating self-renewal, sternness maintenance, EMT transformation, and various drug resistance production processes of CSCs by binding HA. Therefore, in biological and medical research, CD44 is used as a CSCs surface marker for identifying and screening CSCs in malignant tumor tissues such as lung cancer, liver cancer, breast cancer and the like, and the high expression of the CSCs is closely related to the occurrence, development, invasion and metastasis of tumors and is considered as a tumor initiation factor. Research shows that the positive expression rate of CD44 in lung cancer is as high as 85.5%, wherein the positive rates in a lung cancer bone metastasis tissue and an original lung cancer tissue are respectively 92% and 80%, and the difference has statistical significance, which indicates that the abnormal high expression of CD44 is related to lung cancer metastasis; the CD44 is obviously highly expressed in the residual lung cancer cells after the molecular targeted drug EGFR-TKIs treatment, which indicates that the CD44 positive cells have strong drug resistance; multiple clinical studies have demonstrated that lymph node metastasis is more likely to occur in NSCLC in which high-expressing CD44 is expressed than in those with low expression, indicating that CD 44-positive cells have a strong invasive potential. The research discovers that the CD44 is obviously highly expressed in the gefitinib resistant cell strain PC9GR through earlier work; the expression of CD44 in drug-resistant cells is knocked down, so that the expression quantity of CSCs markers such as CD166 and ABCG2 can be reduced, EMT can be reversed, and the sensitivity of the drug-resistant cells to gefitinib is restored. These results all suggest that CD44 can be a therapeutic target for targeted killing of CSCs, but the current lack of targeted therapeutic strategies for CD44 is a major obstacle to targeted therapy for CD 44. The subject researches the action mechanism of CD44 in the occurrence and development, metastasis invasion and drug resistance generation by using in vivo and in vitro experimental models, confirms the feasibility of the CD44 as a new treatment target, develops a targeted CD44 treatment strategy, and is beneficial to inhibiting tumor recurrence and improving curative effect.
Application of phage display technology in research of polypeptide drugs
