Description

Recombinant protein for specifically targeted degradation of EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) and mutant thereof, preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of molecular biology, in particular to a recombinant protein for specifically targeting and degrading EGFR and a mutant thereof, a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
On 6 days 1 month 2022, IARCBIENNIAL REPORT2020-2021 (bi-annual Report 2020-2021) was published by International Agency of Research on Cancer (IARC) under the World health organization, and World Cancer Report2020 (Global Cancer Report 2020) was published by WHO in the last year, and the Report indicated that worldwide Cancer is a significant cause of non-natural death. The root cause of cellular carcinogenesis is gene mutation. With the rapid development of tumor molecular biology in recent years, the molecular mechanism for deeply understanding the tumor development and prognosis is helpful for the cognition and clinical decision of targeted therapy. Among them, abnormal activation or inhibition of protein kinases including Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) is very closely related to tumors, and protein kinase related inhibitors or agonists are the main choice for tumor targeted therapy.
EGFR, also known as ErbB1/HER1, is one of the epidermal growth factor receptor (HER) family members and is widely distributed in the cell membranes of various tissues of the human body. EGFR overexpression and/or mutation, which is present in most solid tumors (e.g., bladder cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, ovarian cancer, glioma, etc.), and makes cell growth out of control and malignant by means of signal transduction, is one of the important causes leading to tumor development and progression. EGFR is a transmembrane protein receptor with a relative molecular mass of 170kD and consists of three functional regions: the extracellular ligand connecting region, the single-chain transmembrane region and the intracellular tyrosine kinase region respectively comprise 621 amino acids, 23 amino acids and 542 amino acids, and the main functions of the three regions are ligand binding, anchoring on-membrane position and signal transduction relay respectively. The ligand of the polypeptide comprises Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF), transforming growth factor alpha (TGF-alpha), bidirectional regulator, neuregulin and the like, and once the extracellular region is connected with the ligand, the polypeptide can undergo homo-or hetero-dimerization, so that tyrosine residues in the intracellular region can be autophosphorylated, a series of downstream cascade signal transduction systems, such as RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK, PI3K/AKT/TOR, src kinase, STAT and other transcription factors, are activated to regulate the proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis of cells, and the polypeptide participates in the migration, invasion, metastasis, angiogenesis and the like of tumor cells. EGF and EGFR are combined to form a compound which is activated, then is subjected to ubiquitination modification and endocytosis to enter vesicles, enters cells through clathrin or non-clathrin mediated endocytosis pathway and is transported to early endosome and late endosome, and then is subjected to sorting and targeted lysosome degradation or returned to the surface of a plasma membrane for reuse. EGFR mutations generally occur in the extracellular region, and three extracellular EGFR deletion mutants are currently found: EGFRvI, EGFRvIII and EGFRvIII, with EGFRvIII being the most common. EGFRvIII lacks the ligand binding region and exhibits constitutive activation, resulting in sustained activation of EGFR and related pathways. The EGFR mutant is widely present in tumor cells and is not expressed in normal tissues, so that the EGFR mutant becomes a good molecular target. Currently, EGFR and its mutants are targeted with small molecule inhibitors, antibodies, vaccines, CAR-T and RNA-based therapeutic methods, and the like, and the anti-tumor purpose is achieved mainly by targeted inhibition of EGFR kinase activity or induction of antibody and complement-mediated cytotoxicity. Although the treatment methods have the advantages of strong specificity, small toxic and side effects and the like, the defects of high EGFR mutation rate, acquired drug resistance, blood brain barrier and the like limit the further clinical application of the EGFR mutation rate, so that the clinical treatment of tumors targeting EGFR and mutants thereof still has no great progress. High expression of EGFR and its mutants is mainly associated with gene amplification, but posttranslational dysregulation is also an important cause, such as persistent activation due to limited ubiquitination and reduced degradation after activation. Therefore, promoting ubiquitination modification and degradation of activated EGFR and mutants thereof is a potential targeting strategy.
