Description
Technical Field
The application belongs to the technical field of tumor gene immunity, and particularly relates to a specific targeting polypeptide of immunosuppressive cell tight junction protein and application thereof.
Background
Treatment resistance is a major challenge in tumor treatment. Immunosuppression is one of the key causes of the development of tumor therapeutic resistance. Myeloid-derived immunosuppressive cells (MDSCs) are a class of immunosuppressive cells that are widely present in a variety of tumors. MDSCs mainly play a role in tumor local, inhibit the killing function of tumor specific T cells, promote tumor blood vessels and can enhance tumor stem property. Research has shown that MDSCs are important factors that lead to failure of various tumor treatment methods. The combined targeting MDSCs can promote the effects of tumor chemotherapy, targeted therapy, tumor vaccine and immunotherapy (anti-CTLA-4/PD 1). Therefore, there is a need to devise strategies for targeting MDSCs to enhance tumor efficacy and benefit tumor patients.
The current targeting strategies for MDSCs are directed primarily to MDSCs mechanisms of development, amplification, activation and chemotaxis. The molecular mechanism by which MDSCs penetrate the blood vessel is not yet known. Previous studies by the inventors have found that the Claudin-12 (CLDN 12), a tight junction protein, is expressed on the cell surface of MDSCs, as well as on vascular endothelial cells. The CLDN12 on the MDSCs and the CLDN12 on the endothelial cells mediate the MDSCs cells to penetrate through tumor vascular endothelial cells and enter tumor tissues through homologous interaction, so that an immunosuppressive effect is exerted, the interaction between the CLDN 12-mediated MDSCs and the endothelial cells is blocked, the MDSCs can be blocked from entering the tumor tissues, and further the treatment effect of tumors is promoted.
Disclosure of Invention
In order to block the interaction of CLDN12 mediated MDSCs and endothelial cells and promote the treatment effect of tumors, the invention provides a specific targeting polypeptide of immunosuppressive cell tight junction protein, the amino acid sequence of which is shown as SEQ NO.1, specifically YNXXLNXKXXP; wherein X is any one of 20 natural amino acids or D-form amino acids thereof.
Preferably, a specific targeting polypeptide of the immunosuppressive cell tight junction protein has an amino acid sequence shown in SEQ NO.2, and specifically YNSHLNRKFEP.
Preferably, the tight junction protein is Claudin-12.
The application of specific targeting polypeptide of immunosuppressive cell tight junction protein in preparing antitumor preparation is provided.
Preferably, the formulation is for use in tumor immunotherapy or tumor chemotherapy.
Preferably, the preparation is injection, tablet, powder or capsule.
Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are:
1) Current approaches to targeting MDSCs are directed primarily to the development, amplification, activation and chemotaxis of MDSCs. The present invention is directed to the process of vascular endothelial penetration of MDSCs mediated by the clan 12, a tightly-linked protein, based on a completely different molecular mechanism.
2) The CLDN12 targeting polypeptide has specificity, generates fewer side effects and has less influence on tumor specific immune response relative to the processes of targeting MDSCs development, chemotaxis and the like.
3) The CLDN12 targeting polypeptide blocks the MDSCs from penetrating vascular endothelium and has the effect of promoting various treatment methods such as tumor immunotherapy, tumor chemotherapy and the like.

Simultaneously with the second polypeptide treatment, PD1 antibody (200 μg per mouse, antibody in 200 μl PBS) was given intraperitoneally, once every 2 days, 4 total times. The size and body weight of the tumor of the mice were recorded.
3. Results and analysis
CLDN12 is a four-time transmembrane structural protein, the structure of which comprises two U-shaped loop structures ECL1 and ECL2 from the N-terminal to the C-terminal, and the specific structural schematic diagram is shown in fig. 1. Recognition and binding between MDSCs cells and endothelial cells is primarily dependent on CLDN12-CLDN12 homology interactions, which we speculate to be primarily dependent on ECL2 based on Claudins family protein structure.
CLDN12 proteins were highly conserved, with human and murine homologies greater than 90% (fig. 2), and human and xenopus' CLDN12 sequence controls are shown in fig. 3. Based on the conservation of CLDN12 gene among species, we predict that motif polypeptide ynxxlnxkkxp is an active polypeptide, where X is any one of 20 natural amino acids or D-type amino acids thereof, and adding 1-3 amino acids at both ends of motif may still be active.
In this example, a homologous polypeptide of the CLDN12 targeting polypeptide, designated CLDN12-pm, was verified based on the mouse ECL2 sequence, and the specific amino acid sequence was YNSHLNRKFEP.
Bone marrow cells were taken and induced to MDSCs. In vitro induced MDSCs cells were plated in Jiao Xiao dishes for incubation, and clDN12-pm or control polypeptide Con-p (400. Mu.M) was added and stimulated for 24 hours. Cells were stained for Gr1 and CLDN 12. The results indicate that CLDN12-pm can bind to CLDN12 on MDSCs, resulting in a reduced distribution on the membrane (fig. 4).
In vitro induced MDSCs or snend.1 were labeled with CFSE or PKH26, respectively. Then stimulated with CLDN12-pm or control polypeptide Con-p (400 uM) for 24 hours. The stimulated MSC2 was added to the endothelial cell monolayer to detect adherent cells, or the Tranwell culture system was used to detect penetration of MDSCs through the endothelial cell monolayer. Adherent cells were detected by flow cytometry, and confocal microscopy was performed across cells. As a result, MDSCs or endothelial cells after CLDN12-pm treatment were found to reduce the adhesion of MDSCs to endothelial cells (fig. 5, fig. 6), and to reduce the penetration of MDSCs through endothelial cell monolayers (fig. 7, fig. 8).
The CLDN12-pm polypeptide is used in combination with PD1 antibody for treating mice bearing LLC tumors, and the results are shown in fig. 9, where CLDN12-pm alone is found to produce an anti-tumor effect, which can be effectively enhanced when used in combination with PD1 antibody.
