Description

RGD cyclic peptide for cancer cell integrin and application thereof in preparation of tumor drugs
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of biology, and particularly relates to RGD cyclic peptide for cancer cell integrin and application thereof in preparation of tumor drugs.
Background
RGD is a short peptide containing arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (Arg-Gly-Asp) and is mainly found in extracellular matrix (ECM) and Fibronectin of blood, for example, fibrin (FB), fibronectin (FN), laminin (Vitronnectin, VN) and Collagen (Collagen), and contains RGD sequence. RGD is a conserved sequence of these proteins and integrin receptors on cell membranes (e.g., alpha v β 3 And alpha v β 5 ) Interactions occur that mediate the adhesion of cells to the extracellular matrix. The over-expression of related integrin receptors on the cell membranes of many cancer cells plays an important role in cancer cell metastasis, proliferation, signaling, etc. Among the various integrin molecules, alpha v β 3 And alpha v β 5 Is a specific marker of tumor neovascularization and is closely related to tumor-induced angiogenesis. Integrin alpha v β 3 And alpha v β 5 Through mediating the adhesion of vascular endothelial cells and tumor cells, participate in angiogenesis and tumor metastasis, play a vital role in tumor growth. When its function is inhibited, vascular endothelial cells undergo apoptosis, and tumor growth is inhibited or even regressed. Therefore, it is found that a drug blocking the surface-specific integrin of tumor cells has very important significance in tumor therapy. On the other hand, the expression type of integrin in various tumor tissues is not completely consistent, and is closely related to the cell origin of tumor tissues and the malignancy of tumors. For example integrin alpha v β 3 High expression in malignant melanoma and malignant ovarian tumor cells; but is not expressed or expressed in tumor cells such as colon cancer, pancreatic cancer, breast cancer or benign ovarian tumor, etc., and is expressed in alpha v β 5 Or other types of integrins are expressed predominantly, thus the discovery and development of high affinity, highly selective tumor targeting peptides targeting specific subtypes of integrins is of significant interest for tumor targeting diagnosis and for studying the mechanisms of specific subtypes of integrins in the course of tumorigenesis and progression.
RGD sequence polypeptide as universal recognition site for adhesion of extracellular matrix and integrin receptor, and is used for developing targeted tumor cell integrin inhibitionThe basis of the agent. The cyclopeptide molecule cilengitide cyclo (RGDfNMeVal) from merck is the most prominent, however this compound ends up failing in clinical trials in phase three, suggesting a highly expressed alpha in tumor cells v β 3 And alpha v β 5 Further research is needed for peptide drugs with integrins as targets. In addition, due to alpha v β 3 And alpha v β 5 The complex is very similar in structure and function, and the currently discovered cyclic RGD polypeptide molecule pair alpha with good biological activity v β 3 And alpha v β 5 The poor selectivity of these two integrins also suggests that development of polypeptide molecules selectively inhibit alpha v β 3 And alpha v β 5 The study of these two integrins remains a great challenge, and thus there is a strong need to develop integrin inhibitors that are both biologically active and selective and can be used in the treatment and diagnosis of related tumors.

Mu.M, the selective binding capacity of integrin αvβ5 to αvβ3 reaches 38.9:1, which is higher than that of cilengitide (3.1:1), indicating that the selective binding capacity of the cyclic peptide to integrin is better. The adhesion inhibition rate of GGGCRGDfVCRGDfVCLPXT cyclic peptide to integrin alpha v beta 3 is 0.20 mu M, the inhibition activity is close to that of positive control cilengitide (0.11 mu M), but the selective binding capacity of the integrin alpha v beta 5 to alpha v beta 3 is up to 151:1, which is far higher than that of cilengitide (3.1:1), the activity is also higher than that of other two cyclic peptides, which indicates that the tricyclic structure and disulfide bond-rich conformation in the cyclic peptide can promote RGD motif to selectively bind integrin, and the specific binding capacity is improved;
the inhibition rate of the GGCCRGDfVCRGDfVCLPXT cyclic peptide on the integrin alpha v beta 3 is 8.43 mu M, the selective binding capacity of the integrin alpha v beta 5 and alpha v beta 3 reaches 24.6:1, which is higher than that of the cilengitide (3.1:1), thus indicating that the selective binding capacity of the cyclic peptide on the integrin is better.
Detailed description of the drawings 1-3:
as shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 1A is a schematic representation of the synthesis of GGGCRGDfVCLPXT cyclic peptide by the linear peptide GGGCRGDfVCLPXTGGS under the catalysis of Sortase A. FIG. 1B is a liquid phase diagram of the synthesis process with elution times on the abscissa. The initial state of the Sortase A cyclization reaction is the initial state of the linear peptide GGGCRGDfVCLPXTGGS at 0min in the ordinate, wherein the elution time 26.787min is the elution peak of the linear peptide GGGCRGDfVCLPXTGGS. In the enzyme catalytic reaction for 15min, new elution peaks appear in the graphs for 33.058min and 35.079min respectively, and when the reaction is carried out for 1h and 9h, the sizes of elution peaks for 33.058min and 35.079min are converted, the elution peak for 35.079min is gradually reduced, and the elution peak for 33.058min is gradually increased, which means that the elution peak material for 35.079min is a cyclized intermediate product, which realizes head-to-tail cyclization, but disulfide bonds are not oxidized into bonds (specific mass spectrogram is shown in fig. 1C, molecular weight is 1391.64), the elution peak material for 33.058min is a final cyclized product GGGCRGDfVCLPXT, and the mass spectrogram of the cyclized product is shown in fig. 1D and is 1389.64.
As shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 2A is a schematic diagram of the synthesis of GGGCRGDfVCRGDfVCLPXTGGS as a linear peptide under Sortase A catalysis. FIG. 2B is a liquid phase diagram of the synthesis process, the abscissa shows the elution time, the ordinate shows the HPLC real-time monitoring graph of the linear peptide added with 1,3, 5-Tribromomethylbenzene (TBMB) for 25 minutes, 36.389min shows the product elution peak of the linear peptide GGGCRGDfVCRGDfVCLPXTGGS after the reaction of cysteine and TBMB, and 38.061min shows the mass spectrum data (see FIG. 2C). When the reaction proceeds for 5 hours, the linear peptide substrate is substantially converted to an intermediate product. And then adding Sortase A enzyme to realize end-to-end cyclization, adding enzyme to catalyze the reaction for 1h,6h and 29h, gradually increasing the peak area of an elution peak for 26.808min, and supposing that the substance of the peak is a cyclized final product GGGCRGDfVCRGDfVCLPXT, wherein the molecular weight of the peak is 2184.04 (figure 2D) through mass spectrum identification, and the molecular weight of the peak is consistent with that of a final cyclic peptide product GGGCRGDfVCRGDfVCLPXT, so that the elution peak is the final cyclized product.
As shown in fig. 3, fig. 3A is a schematic diagram of synthesis of GGCCRGDfVCRGDfVCLPXTGGS under the catalysis of Sortase a, fig. 3B is a liquid phase diagram of the synthesis process, the abscissa is the elution time, 0min in the ordinate is the initial state of the linear peptide enzymatic reaction, and the peak 27.671min is the linear peptide GGCCRGDfVCRGDfVCLPXTGGS. When the reaction proceeded to 15min, a new elution peak was seen for 32.55min, which was identified by mass spectrometry as a linear peptide end-to-end cyclization product (FIG. 3C), at which time neither pair of disulfide bonds was formed. As the reaction proceeds to 1h, oxygen in the air oxidizes the exposed cysteine side chain thiol to form disulfide bonds, a new elution peak appears for 30.24min, indicating the generation of a new product, which is identified by mass spectrometry as an intermediate cyclization product forming a pair of disulfide bonds (mass spectrometry see 3C), and all of the substrate is converted to such intermediate product as the reaction proceeds to 6 h. The other cysteine side chain sulfhydryl uses orthogonal protecting group Acm protection, and because the disulfide bond cannot be formed under the action of oxygen at the moment, the Acm protecting group is removed under the action of iodine simple substance, the exposed sulfhydryl forms disulfide bond, after iodination reaction for 3h, the eluting peak appears in 31.54min as the final cyclization product (mass spectrum is under 3C), is rich in two pairs of disulfide bonds, and is a selective bond.
