Description

[0001] HEPCHIN TARGETED PEPTIDE FOR ENHANCING CELL PERMEABILITY AND ITS USE [0002]

The present invention relates to a hepsin target peptide having an enhanced cell permeability comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, a nanoliposome bound to the surface of the peptide, a bioimaging system comprising the nanoliposome, a cell comprising the nanoliposome as an active ingredient Or tissues and a process for producing the nanoliposome.

The problem with the prior art in chemotherapy for cancer therapy is poor selectivity for target cells or organs of chemotherapeutic agents. In order to solve such a problem, target drug delivery technology is attracting attention in the field of diagnosis and treatment of cancer, and strategies for increasing the selective toxicity of the drug to the targeted cells or reducing the toxicity to the normal cells are being studied. Selectivity can be obtained through active targeting and passive targeting. Particularly active targets are accompanied by ligand-receptor or antigen-antibody interaction at the target cell site. Examples of ligands that can be used for active targeting include folate using folate receptor interactions with overexpressed cancer cells, ErbB2 used to target breast cancer cells, targets for prostate cancer cells prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA).

On the other hand, cell penetrating peptides are useful tools for intracellular delivery of drugs. Cell permeable peptides such as trans-activating transcriptional activator (Tat), antennapedia (Ant), polyarginines, And deliver the carrier and the like efficiently into the cell. The cell permeation mechanism of polyarginine in these peptides seems to be that the side chain of arginine initially binds to the phosphate group of the phospholipid bilayer and the pore is formed due to the strong collapse in the bilayer membrane. Polyarginine has also been widely used for the delivery of various drugs and carriers, but has faced limitations in terms of the lack of selectivity for cell permeable peptides.

In addition, the cell permeable peptide can transfer a macromolecule or cargo into cells, but this effect also works on normal cells. In other words, although the cell-permeable anticancer drug molecule should be delivered only to cancer cells, it may affect general cells and cause side effects. In addition, its use is limited because it may cause toxicity at certain concentrations.

Targeting molecules used for drug targeting can overcome the above problems, but it is difficult to enter into cells due to the absence of endocytosis or the large molecular weight of molecules or cargo to be delivered into cells. Therefore, a chemotherapeutic agent or a peptide drug acting on most intracellular signaling can not exhibit its efficacy despite reaching a target molecule. To solve this problem, a mechanism for intracellular entry upon drug targeting is required.

Thus, studies are being conducted to link cell-targeting peptides to cell-permeable peptides. The result of this synthesis is called a cell penetrating homing peptide and has complemented each other's deficiencies in drug delivery. Such a cell permeable target peptide can be applied to the delivery of a nucleic acid-based drug, a large protein molecule drug, or a cell-impermeable chemotherapeutic agent, which is difficult to deliver in a cell, to cancer cells. In addition, among the development of drug delivery systems, liposomal nanocarriers are the most widely used delivery vehicles for the delivery of soluble or poorly soluble drugs or therapeutic and diagnostic reagents. Liposomes can be applied through PEGylation, binding of monoclonal antibodies, or binding of lipid derivatives, proteins, peptides, and the like. In particular, liposomes can be targeted to specific cancer cells or effectively delivered into cells through techniques for modifying cell surfaces with peptides that exhibit specific functions.

However, the method of modifying a drug molecule through such a cell permeable peptide or a targeting molecule is inevitably accompanied by modification of the drug molecule itself. However, this can cause problems such as unexpected toxicity, side effects, and reduced efficacy. In addition, it is known that the affinity of two or more molecules is significantly increased in the case of a targeting molecule, as compared to the affinity for a target represented by a single molecule.

Therefore, it is necessary to use nanocarrier as a platform in which such functional peptides or target molecules can be integrated into a single entity.

Thus, the present inventors have completed the present invention by synthesizing a novel peptide exhibiting specificity for hepcidin-expressing cells and simultaneously exhibiting cell permeability.

In this case, the peptides bound to the liposome selectively bind to the hepatocyte-expressing cells, and the polyarginine portion of the RIPL sequence binds to the protease. . Liposomes uptake through endocytosis are transiently trapped in the endosome, but because of the action of activated polyarginine, they enter the cytosol, which may increase the permeability by degrading the lysosome.

RIPL Of peptide  synthesis

The RIPL peptide (IPLVVPLRRRRRRRC) of SEQ ID NO: 1 was prepared by the following method. Peptides were synthesized by Fmoc SPPS (9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl solid phase peptide synthesis) and purified by reverse phase HPLC using Vydac Everest C18 column. The amino acid units were bound to each other from the C terminus using an automatic peptide synthesizer (ASP48S, Peptron Inc.). The first amino acid with a resin attached to the C terminus of the peptide was S-trityl-L-cysteine-2-chlorotrityl resin was used. All amino acids used in peptide synthesis were protected with trityl (Trt), t-butyloxycarbonyl (Boc), t-butyl (t-Bu) groups and N-terminal protected with Fmoc. All these residues are removed under acidic conditions. (1H-benzotriazol-1-yl) -1,1,3,3-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate (HBTU) / hydroxyl-benzotriazole (HOBt) / N-methylmorpholine (NMM) as a coupling reagent. In preparative HPLC purification, elution was carried out using water-acetonitrile (acetonitrile 30-40% v / v) gradient elution with 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid. The molecular weights of the purified peptides were determined by LC / MS (Agilent HP1100 series) and lyophilized.

RIPL Of peptide Hepsin  Selectivity and cell permeability assessment

RIPL peptide expression and cell permeability were evaluated by flow cytometry using fluorescence isothiocyanate (FITC) and FITC-dextran (FITC-dextran).

For evaluation of cell selectivity, hepsin-expressing cells LNCaP, SK-OV-3, MCF-7 and heptin non-expressing cells DU145, PC3 and HaCaT cells were seeded at a density of 1 × 10 6 per 6-well plate well. After the cell density reached 70-80%, the cells were incubated with FITC (RIPL-FITC) conjugated with 1 uM RIPL peptide. After 2 hours, cells were washed 3 times with phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and flow cytometry was used to measure MFI as an index of cell selectivity up to 10,000 events per histogram. As a result, as shown in FIG. 2, FITC-dextran showed a low MFI value for all cells, whereas RIPL-FITC showed a significantly higher intracellular transport than FITC-dextran, , Especially for LNCaP cells, 8.3-fold higher than FITC-dextran.

From the above, the selectivity of RIPL-FITC for hepcin was confirmed, and the enhancement of FITC-dextran cell permeability due to RIPL peptide was examined. RIPL, R8 (RRRRRRRC), and IPL (IPLVVPLC) of 28 ug / ml FITC-dextran (control), 3 uM or 6 uM with HepC2 expressing cells LNCaP, SK-OV-3 or MCF- And MFI was measured as described above. As a result, as shown in Fig. 3, intracellular migration of FITC-dextran due to R8 and RIPL peptides was increased, but IPL was the same as that of the control (CTL).

Preparation of surface-bound nanoliposomes with RIPL peptide

RIPL peptide-bound liposomes (RIPL-Lipo) were prepared by binding RIPL peptide to liposome vesicle surface via thiol maleimide reaction. First, phosphatidylcholine (PC) and Tween 80 were dissolved in a mixture of chloroform and methanol (1: 1 v / v) at a molar ratio of 9: 1 to a round bottom flask. (DSPE-PEG2000-mal) was added at a ratio of 0.2-4.0% of the total lipid concentration to adjust the amount of peptides bound to the liposome. The organic solvent was a mixture of phospholipid and Tween 80 Was removed by rotary vacuum evaporation. However, conventional liposome did not contain DSPE-PEG2000-mal. And liposome vesicles were formed by hydrating the thin lipid layer formed at the bottom of the round flask with PBS at pH 7.4 containing 10 mg / ml FITC-dextran. For uniform size and efficient containment of the vesicles formed, a polyethersulfone membrane with a pore size of 200 nm was passed through the Avanti Mini-Extruder 20 times. Finally, the RIPL peptide solution was added to the liposome solution substituted with a maleimide group and reacted at room temperature for 12 hours. RIPL-Lipo was dialyzed with distilled water for 48 h to purify from unreinforced FITC-dextran and unreacted RIPL peptide.

<4-1> Nanoliposome  On the surface Combined RIPL Of peptide  Quantitative analysis

The binding ratio of the RIPL peptide bound to the external maleimide group and the maleimide-substituted liposome was indirectly calculated by quantifying the amount of cysteine left without reacting in Ellman's reaction. To block unreacted maleimide after RIPL peptide binding, a 3-fold molar ratio of cysteine hydrochloride anhydrous was added. 5,5'-dithio-bis (2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB) was added to quantify the remaining cysteine. The binding of cystein-TNB (5-thio-2-nitrobenzoic acid) was analyzed by HPLC because the same amount of free TNB was released. In the HPLC analysis, the mobile phase was a mixture of methanol and 10 mM ammonium formate (5:95 (v / v)) at a flow rate of 1 ml / min. The column was a C18 column of shiseido and the absorbance wavelength was measured at 412 nm. In addition, since the liposome particles having a size of 160 nm are known to be composed of about 223,000 phospholipid molecules, the number of peptides bound to the surface of the nanoliposome is derived.

<4-2> Nanoliposome  Particle size distribution and surface charge analysis

The particle size distribution and the surface charge of the nanoliposome prepared in the present invention were measured by a dynamic light scattering method using a Zetasizer Nano-ZS (Malvern Instrument, Worcestershire, UK). The physico-chemical properties of liposomes in which FITC-dextran is encapsulated and RIPL peptide is bound to the surface are shown in Table 1 below.

RIPL The peptide  surface Combined Nanoliposome  Cell permeability assessment

<5-1> Flow cytometry

In order to evaluate the enhancement of cell permeability of RIPL peptide surface-bound nanoliposomes, FITC, RIPL-FITC (cultured by mixing RIPL peptide and FITC as in Example 2), RIPL conjugated FITC (sharing RITC peptide with FITC And RIPL-Lipo were cultured together with LNCaP cells, respectively, and the MFI was measured in the same manner as in Example 2 above. As a result, as shown in Fig. 4, it was confirmed that RIPL-Lipo showed the best cell permeability.

For the selection of optimized RIPL-Lipo, cell permeability of four types of LNCaP cells regulated the number of RIPL peptides was evaluated. As a result, as shown in Fig. 5, the cell permeability to LNCaP cells was found to increase depending on the number of peptides. However, the MFI increased proportionally until the number of peptides reached 2300, and did not increase further.

In addition, MFI values were measured by flow cytometry of FITC-dextran fluorescence in which the selected permeability of RIPL-Lipo and control (CL) was sealed. LNCaP, SK-OV-3, MCF-7, DU145, PC3 and HaCaT cells were treated as in Example 2 above. However, instead of FITC-dextran, liposome corresponding to 28 ug / ml of FITC-dextran (100 ug / ml as lipid concentration) was added. As a result, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, RIPL-Lipo showed greater cell selectivity for the hensin-expressing cells LNCaP, SK-OV-3 and MCF-7 cells compared to the control group, , Whereas those for DU145, PC3, and HaCaT were slightly increased compared to the control group.

<5-2> Fluorescence microscopy observation

For microscopic observation, LNCaP, SK-OV-3, MCF-7, DU145, PC3 and HaCaT cells were visualized using a 400x fluorescence microscope. In addition, LNCaP cells were fixed with 3.7% formaldehyde and then focused on the Z axis through a Zeiss LSM 510 Meta confocal microscope (Carl Zeiss, Jene, Germany). As shown in FIG. 8, fluorescence images of RIPL-Lipo were measured on the four cells. As a result, strong fluorescence was shown only for LNCaP, which is a hepsin-expressing cell. There was some fluorescence in the remaining cells, but it was very weak compared to LNCaP.

As shown in FIG. 9, fluorescence intensities of LNCaP cells were increased with time, as shown in FIG. 9. As a result, fluorescence intensities were increased with time, It can be observed that they are uniformly distributed.
