Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the fields of biological medicines and molecular therapy, and particularly relates to a small-molecule inhibitor targeting the ubiquitination of KLF4 protein (Krluppel-like factor4) and application thereof in inhibiting and killing gastric cancer cells and the like.
Background
Cancer is one of the diseases seriously threatening human health in the 21 st century. Malignant tumors are the most mortality disease. Statistically, one out of every four people in the world is at risk for cancer. Currently, the number of cancer patients in the world increases year by year and there is a trend toward younger patients. The global trend towards increased cancer morbidity and mortality suggests that cancer will become the first killer in humans and have posed a significant public health challenge. Improving the prognosis of cancer patients is a key factor in increasing patient survival. Tumor generation is a process in which multiple mechanisms are involved together, and multiple proteins are abnormally expressed. Therefore, the research and development of drugs aiming at the cancer target is an urgent problem to be solved.
The ubiquitin-protease system is one of the pathways for protein degradation, selectively degrading the intended target protein. The ubiquitin-proteasome not only degrades proteins, but also can participate in regulation and control of biological processes such as cell proliferation and cell cycle. In addition, the ubiquitin pathway regulates a variety of cellular processes such as autophagy, apoptosis, signal transduction, receptor endocytosis control, antigen processing, degradation of antiviral proteins, and viral proliferation. The intracellular ubiquitin-proteasome pathway is composed of ubiquitin activating enzyme E1, ubiquitin conjugating enzyme E1, ubiquitin ligase E3 and 26S protease compound, the protein ubiquitination degradation is completed in two steps, namely, the cascade reaction ubiquitination modification substrate protein composed of E1-E2-E3 is firstly degraded by proteasome. It has now been found that ubiquitination regulates protein degradation and plays an important role in the development of tumors.
KLF4 can act on different target genes in different tissues to exert cancer-inhibiting or cancer-promoting effects, and mainly play a cancer-inhibiting role in gastrointestinal tumors. The intracellular action of KLF4 is tightly regulated by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, Ubiquitination (Ubiquitination) being an important pathway for post-translational modification of KLF 4. The key link of KLF4 in playing its transcriptional regulation role is the inhibition of KLF4 ubiquitination and promotion of nuclear translocation. Research has shown that the F-box family (FBXW, FBXL and FBXO) can mediate the recognition and recruitment of ubiquitin substrates through the formation of SCF (Skp1-Cullin1-F-box) complex of E3 ligase, thereby playing an important role in protein ubiquitination and cancer development. The F-box family proteins such as FBXO22, FBXO32, SKP2 and the like are predicted to be targeted and combined with an E3 potential recognition site, zf-H2C2_2 domain in a KLF4 protein sequence, so that KLF4 ubiquitination is promoted, the expression level of the KLF4 in a tumor is inhibited, and the occurrence and development of the tumor are promoted.
At present, no small-molecule inhibitor aiming at the ubiquitination of the KLF4 is disclosed in the prior art, so that the development and research of a targeted therapeutic medicament aiming at the KLF4 protein aiming at the KLF4 and the ubiquitination thereof become a problem to be solved urgently at present.
