Description
本发明涉及基因工程领域,具体涉及一种白蛋白结合型肿瘤坏死因子相关凋亡诱导配体变异体及其制备方法和用途。The invention relates to the field of genetic engineering, in particular to an albumin-binding tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis inducing ligand variant, a preparation method thereof and use thereof.
近年来,全球新发恶性肿瘤病人数量不断上升。由于治疗手段有限,恶性肿瘤已成为威胁人类生命的头号杀手。外科手术结合传统放、化疗方法,仍是目前肿瘤治疗的主要手段。传统放化疗手段最大的弊端在于缺乏选择性,在杀伤肿瘤细胞的同时,也伤害大量正常细胞,长期使用毒副作用大。因此,迫切需要研发选择性高效抗肿瘤药物(Corti A et al.,Medicinal Research Reviews,2012,32:1078-1091)。In recent years, the number of new malignant tumors worldwide has been rising. Due to limited treatment, malignant tumors have become the number one killer of human life. Surgery combined with traditional radiotherapy and chemotherapy methods is still the main means of current cancer treatment. The biggest drawback of traditional chemoradiotherapy is the lack of selectivity. While killing tumor cells, it also harms a large number of normal cells, and long-term use of toxic side effects. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop selective and highly potent anti-tumor drugs (Corti A et al., Medicinal Research Reviews, 2012, 32: 1078-1091).
肿瘤坏死因子相关凋亡诱导配体(TNF related apoptosis-inducing ligand,TRAIL)是一种具有高效选择性杀伤肿瘤细胞特性的蛋白。它通过肿瘤细胞表面的死亡受体DR4和DR5传递死亡信号,诱导肿瘤细胞凋亡。死亡受体DR4和DR5在肿瘤细胞表面高表达,在正常细胞表面低表达。不仅如此,正常细胞表面还高表达TRAIL诱骗受体DcR1和DcR2。TRAIL能与诱骗受体结合,但不传递死亡信号。因此,TRAIL在高效杀伤肿瘤细胞的同时,对多数正常细胞表现无毒或低毒,具有较强的肿瘤细胞杀伤选择性,是极具潜力的新型抗肿瘤药物(Stuckey D W,et al.,Trends in Molecular Medicine,2013,19(11):685-694;Ashkenazi A.,Nature Reviews Drug Discovery,2008,7(12):1001-1012.)。TNF related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is a protein with high selectivity to kill tumor cells. It transmits death signals through the death receptors DR4 and DR5 on the surface of tumor cells, and induces tumor cell apoptosis. The death receptors DR4 and DR5 are highly expressed on the surface of tumor cells and are lowly expressed on the surface of normal cells. Moreover, the normal cell surface also highly expresses TRAIL decoy receptors DcR1 and DcR2. TRAIL binds to decoy receptors but does not transmit death signals. Therefore, TRAIL is highly toxic or low-toxic to most normal cells while killing tumor cells efficiently. It has strong tumor cell killing selectivity and is a promising new anti-tumor drug (Stuckey D W, et al., Trends in Molecular Medicine, 2013, 19(11): 685-694; Ashkenazi A., Nature Reviews Drug Discovery, 2008, 7(12): 1001-1012.).
作为新型候选抗肿瘤药物,基因工程重组表达的人可溶型TRAIL(human TRAIL,hTRAIL)目前已进入临床I-II期试验(Soria J C et al.,J Clin Oncol2011,29:4442-4451)。结果表明,hTRAIL具有良好的安全性,多种肿瘤病人对hTRAIL的治疗都有反应。但是,hTRAIL分子量较小(单体20KD左右),在体内极易通过肾脏被清除,其在血浆中的半衰期小于30分钟(Xiang H,et al.Drug metabolism and disposition,2004,32(11):1230-1238.)。“半衰期短”这一特性极大地削弱了hTRAIL的体内抗肿瘤作用。因此,延长hTRAIL半衰期,提高其抗肿瘤效果已成为新的研究热点。As a novel candidate anti-tumor drug, genetically engineered human soluble TRAIL (human TRAIL, hTRAIL) has entered the clinical phase I-II trial (Soria J C et al., J Clin Oncol 2011, 29:4442-4451) . The results showed that hTRAIL has good safety and many tumor patients respond to the treatment of hTRAIL. However, hTRAIL has a small molecular weight (about 20 KD per monomer) and is easily cleared by the kidneys in the body, and its half-life in plasma is less than 30 minutes (Xiang H, et al. Drug metabolism and disposition, 2004, 32(11): 1230-1238.). The "slow half-life" characteristic greatly impairs the in vivo anti-tumor effect of hTRAIL. Therefore, prolonging the half-life of hTRAIL and increasing its anti-tumor effect has become a new research hotspot.
已有研究通过聚乙二醇(PEG)修饰和纳米颗粒包裹来延长hTRAIL半衰期(Chae S Y,et al.Molecular cancer therapeutics,2010,9(6):1719-1729;Lim S M,et al.Biomaterials,2011,32(13):3538-3546)。越来越多的研究发现,利用
血清白蛋白作为抗肿瘤药物载体除了可能延长半衰期外,还可能增加肿瘤的药物吸收。血清白蛋白是哺乳动物血清中含量最丰富的蛋白质,其可与FcRn受体结合。此外,白蛋白还可在肿瘤和炎症部位富集。因此,药物与白蛋白形成复合物后,不仅可能延长药物半衰期,还可能在肿瘤部位富集,进而增强抗肿瘤效果(Kratz F.Journal of Controlled Release,2014)。Previous studies have extended hTRAIL half-life by polyethylene glycol (PEG) modification and nanoparticle encapsulation (Chae S Y, et al. Molecular cancer therapeutics, 2010, 9(6): 1719-1729; Lim S M, et al. Biomaterials, 2011, 32(13): 3538-3546). More and more research has found that the use
Serum albumin as an antitumor drug carrier may increase the half-life of the tumor and may increase the drug absorption of the tumor. Serum albumin is the most abundant protein in mammalian serum that binds to the FcRn receptor. In addition, albumin can also be enriched in tumors and sites of inflammation. Therefore, after the drug forms a complex with albumin, it may not only prolong the half-life of the drug, but also enrich the tumor site, thereby enhancing the anti-tumor effect (Kratz F. Journal of Controlled Release, 2014).
制备hTRAIL-白蛋白复合物的方法包括:1)直接将hTRAIL与血清白蛋白偶联;2)将hTRAIL与白蛋白编码基因融合后重组表达(Müller N,et al.Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications,2010,396(4):793-799)。直接偶联法要消耗大量白蛋白,将TRAIL与白蛋白基因融合后重组表达产量有限。而且,引入外源血清白蛋白,增加严重感染风险。Methods for preparing hTRAIL-albumin complexes include: 1) direct coupling of hTRAIL to serum albumin; 2) recombinant expression of hTRAIL and albumin encoding gene (Müller N, et al. Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2010) , 396(4): 793-799). The direct coupling method consumes a large amount of albumin, and the recombinant expression of TRAIL and albumin gene is limited. Moreover, the introduction of exogenous serum albumin increases the risk of serious infection.
最新研究发现,将白蛋白结合域(Albumin-Binding Domain)与蛋白/肽类分子融合,可能让蛋白/肽类分子与内源性白蛋白结合,从而延长半衰期(Sleep D et al.,Biochimica et Biophysica Acta 1830(2013)5526–5534)。迄今为止,尚无利用这一方法延长TRAIL半衰期进而增强其抗肿瘤作用的报道。Recent studies have found that the fusion of an albumin-binding domain with a protein/peptide molecule may allow protein/peptide molecules to bind to endogenous albumin, thereby extending half-life (Sleep D et al., Biochimica et Biophysica Acta 1830 (2013) 5526–5534). To date, there have been no reports of using this method to extend the half-life of TRAIL to enhance its anti-tumor effect.

目前,有研究通过将hTRAIL与人白蛋白HSA共价连接形成复合物来延长TRAIL半衰期增强抗肿瘤效果。但该方法要耗费大量HSA,且引入他人血液来源的HSA可能增加感染风险。本方法利用添加白蛋白结合域的方法,使TRAIL进入体内后利用内源性白蛋白延长半衰期而增强抗肿瘤效果,成本低,无感染风险。At present, studies have extended the TRAIL half-life to enhance the anti-tumor effect by covalently linking hTRAIL to human albumin HSA to form a complex. However, this method consumes a lot of HSA, and the introduction of HSA from other people's blood sources may increase the risk of infection. The method utilizes the method of adding albumin binding domain to make TRAIL enter the body and use endogenous albumin to prolong the half-life and enhance the anti-tumor effect, and the cost is low, and there is no risk of infection.
虽然通过与白蛋白结合域连接制备融合蛋白是本领域提高目标蛋白药物半衰期的方法之一,但是构建得到半衰期延长同时药效活性增强的融合蛋白却并非易事,其关键的难点在于:与目标蛋白连接后白蛋白结合域本身可能会影响目标蛋白活性,同时改造后的目标蛋白与白蛋白结合后也可能对其活性有影响,而蛋白的结构复杂,蛋白和蛋白之间的相互作用规律也不清楚,因此,选择何种白蛋白结合域,连接在目标蛋白什么部位可以得到的半衰期延长同时药效活性优良的融合蛋白是不确定的,极有可能得到没有活性的融合蛋白。比如,本发明人前期筛选了一种白蛋白结合域SA21,将其与hTRAIL连接后并未明显延长hTRAIL半衰期;另外,将本发明筛选的白蛋白结合域ABD连接在hTRAIL C-末端,不仅未显著延长半衰期,还降低了hTRAIL的体内抗肿瘤活性。这些事实说明,通过添加白蛋白结合域的方式构建得到的半衰期延长同时抗肿瘤活性增强的融合蛋白并非易事。Although the preparation of fusion protein by ligation with albumin binding domain is one of the methods to improve the half-life of target protein drugs in the field, it is not easy to construct a fusion protein with prolonged half-life and enhanced pharmacodynamic activity. The key difficulty lies in: After the protein is ligated, the albumin binding domain itself may affect the activity of the target protein. At the same time, the modified target protein may also affect its activity after binding to albumin, and the structure of the protein is complex, and the interaction between protein and protein is also It is unclear, therefore, which albumin binding domain is selected, the fusion protein which is obtained by extending the half-life of the target protein and having excellent pharmacodynamic activity is uncertain, and it is highly probable that an inactive fusion protein is obtained. For example, the present inventors screened an albumin binding domain SA21 in the early stage, and did not significantly prolong the half-life of hTRAIL after ligation with hTRAIL; in addition, the albumin binding domain ABD screened by the present invention was ligated to the C-terminus of hTRAIL, not only Significantly prolonged half-life also reduced the in vivo anti-tumor activity of hTRAIL. These facts indicate that it is not easy to construct a fusion protein with increased half-life and enhanced anti-tumor activity by adding an albumin binding domain.
然而,本发明通过选择特定的白蛋白结合域,并对其核苷酸序列进行了优化,同时在特定连接方式下,与TRAIL融合制备的融合蛋白,半衰期长,抗肿瘤活性优良,取得了意料不到的技术效果。However, the present invention obtains a specific albumin binding domain and optimizes its nucleotide sequence, and at the same time, the fusion protein prepared by fusion with TRAIL under a specific linkage mode has a long half-life and excellent antitumor activity, and has achieved unexpected results. Less technical effects.
本发明通过基因工程的方式,制备得到了纯品白蛋白结合型肿瘤坏死因

实施例1本发明白蛋白结合型TRAIL变异体的制备Example 1 Preparation of Albumin-bound TRAIL Variant of the Invention
1、白蛋白结合型TRAIL变异体的设计和基因克隆1. Design and gene cloning of albumin-binding TRAIL variants
将白蛋白结合域(ABD)与hTRAIL或mmTRAIL连接,制备白蛋白结合型TRAIL变异体,ABD-hTRAIL和ABD-mmTRAIL。The albumin-binding domain (ABD) was ligated to hTRAIL or mmTRAIL to prepare albumin-bound TRAIL variants, ABD-hTRAIL and ABD-mmTRAIL.
hTRAIL和mmTRAIL为人和猴全长TRAIL 114-281位氨基酸组成的片段。将ABD通过(G4S)3连接在hTRAIL或mmTRAIL N-末端,形成的融合蛋白分别命名为ABD-hTRAIL和ABD-mmTRAIL。为方便克隆,融合蛋白

Positive monoclonal strains were initially identified by ampicillin screening (100 μg/ml) and double restriction enzyme digestion, and positive clones were further verified by DNA sequence analysis. The plasmid containing the ABD-hTRAIL or ABD-mmTRAIL coding gene was designated as pQE30-ABD-hTRAIL or pQE30-ABD-mmTRAIL, respectively.

2、白蛋白结合型TRAIL变异体的诱导表达和分离纯化2. Induced expression, separation and purification of albumin-bound TRAIL variants
提取表达质粒,转化表达菌株M15,用含氨苄西林(100μg/ml)和卡那霉素(30μg/ml)LB平板培养基筛选得到阳性克隆菌株。将阳性克隆菌株接种于含相同抗生素的LB液体培养基中,37℃震荡培养至菌液A600达到0.5~1之间,加入0.05-1mM异丙基硫代半乳糖苷(IPTG)诱导表达。4小时后,离心收集菌体。获得的菌体用磷酸盐缓冲液(50m M,pH 8.0)重悬。超声破菌后,离心(20000g,15min)收集上清。向上清液中加入Ni-NTA Super Flow凝胶,4℃缓慢振荡结合3h。将凝胶装柱,用40mM咪唑洗涤杂蛋白,再用300mM咪唑洗脱获得目的蛋白。纯化的蛋白用去内毒素试剂盒(南京金斯瑞公司)去除内毒素。The expression plasmid was extracted, the expression strain M15 was transformed, and a positive clone strain was obtained by screening with LB plate medium containing ampicillin (100 μg/ml) and kanamycin (30 μg/ml). The positive clone strain was inoculated into LB liquid medium containing the same antibiotic, and cultured at 37 ° C until the bacterial solution A 600 reached 0.5 to 1, and 0.05-1 mM isopropylthiogalactoside (IPTG) was added to induce expression. After 4 hours, the cells were collected by centrifugation. The obtained cells were resuspended in phosphate buffer (50 m M, pH 8.0). After ultrasonic disruption, the supernatant was collected by centrifugation (20000 g, 15 min). Ni-NTA Super Flow gel was added to the supernatant and slowly shaken at 4 ° C for 3 h. The gel was packed, the heteroprotein was washed with 40 mM imidazole, and eluted with 300 mM imidazole to obtain the protein of interest. The purified protein was endotoxin removed using a de-endotoxin kit (Nanjing Kingsray).
结果如图1和图2所示,hTRAIL和mmTRAIL分子量大约为20KD左右,融合ABD形成的白蛋白结合型TRAIL变异体,即ABD-hTRAIL和ABD-mmTRAIL分子量均为25KD左右。As shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the molecular weights of hTRAIL and mmTRAIL were about 20 KD, and the albumin-bound TRAIL variants formed by fusion of ABD, that is, ABD-hTRAIL and ABD-mmTRAIL had molecular weights of about 25 KD.
实验结果说明,本发明制备得到了白蛋白结合型肿瘤坏死因子相关凋亡诱导配体变异体ABD-hTRAIL和ABD-mmTRAIL。The experimental results show that the albumin-binding tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand variants ABD-hTRAIL and ABD-mmTRAIL were prepared by the present invention.
以下用实验例的方式说明本发明的有益效果:The beneficial effects of the present invention will be described below by way of experimental examples:
实验例1白蛋白结合型TRAIL变异体与人血清白蛋白的结合Experimental Example 1 Binding of albumin-bound TRAIL variants to human serum albumin
1、试验方法1. Test method
1)凝胶过滤法1) Gel filtration
将ABD-hTRAIL或ABD-mmTRAIL与人血清白蛋白(human serum albumin,HSA)用含500mM NaCl的磷酸盐缓冲液(10mM Na2HPO4,2.68mM KCl,2mM KH2PO4)稀释至相同的摩尔浓度,然后等体积混合。室温结合10~30min后,将混合物样品上凝胶过滤柱Superdex 75(GE Healthcare)分析。用hTRAIL和mmTRAIL分别作为融合蛋白ABD-hTRAIL和ABD-mmTRAIL的对照。ABD-hTRAIL or ABD-mmTRAIL and human serum albumin (HSA) were diluted to the same level with phosphate buffer (10 mM Na 2 HPO 4 , 2.68 mM KCl, 2 mM KH 2 PO 4 ) containing 500 mM NaCl. The molar concentration is then mixed in equal volumes. After 10 to 30 min of binding at room temperature, the mixture sample was analyzed on a gel filtration column Superdex 75 (GE Healthcare). hTRAIL and mmTRAIL were used as controls for the fusion proteins ABD-hTRAIL and ABD-mmTRAIL, respectively.
结果如图3A所示,hTRAIL与HSA混合(hTRAIL+HSA)后,凝胶过滤分析发现没有形成分子量明显大于HSA的复合物,提示hTRAIL没有与HSA结合。而ABD-hTRAIL与HSA混合(ABD-hTRAIL+HSA)后,形成的复合物分子量远远大于HSA,提示ABD-hTRAIL与HSA有结合。
As a result, as shown in Fig. 3A, after hTRAIL was mixed with HSA (hTRAIL + HSA), gel filtration analysis revealed that no complex having a molecular weight significantly larger than HSA was formed, suggesting that hTRAIL did not bind to HSA. When ABD-hTRAIL was mixed with HSA (ABD-hTRAIL+HSA), the molecular weight of the complex formed was much larger than that of HSA, suggesting that ABD-hTRAIL binds to HSA.
相同条件下,如图4A所示,mmTRAIL与HSA的混合物在凝胶过滤柱上显示为双峰,分子量大小对应于HSA和mmTRAIL,提示mmTRAIL未与HSA结合。而ABD-mmTRAIL与HSA混合物主要成分分子量远远大于HSA,提示ABD-mmTRAIL与HSA结合。Under the same conditions, as shown in Figure 4A, the mixture of mmTRAIL and HSA showed a double peak on the gel filtration column with molecular weight corresponding to HSA and mmTRAIL, suggesting that mmTRAIL did not bind to HSA. The molecular weight of the main component of ABD-mmTRAIL and HSA mixture is much larger than that of HSA, suggesting that ABD-mmTRAIL binds to HSA.
2)酶标板法2) ELISA plate method
用磷酸盐缓冲液PBS(137mM NaCl,10mM Na2HPO4,2.68mM KCl,2mM KH2PO4)溶解HSA至20mg/ml。向酶标板中加入HSA(100μl/孔),4℃包被过夜。酶标板用PBS(200μl/孔)洗涤两次,再加入100μl不同浓度的融合蛋白。37℃孵育2h后,用PBST(PBS+0.075%吐温20)洗板4次,再加入小鼠抗TRAIL抗体孵育1h。PBST洗板后,再加入辣根过氧物酶标记的山羊抗小鼠IgG二抗进行孵育。最后用TMP底物显色,2M磷酸终止显色反应,酶标仪测定A450nm。用hTRAIL和mmTRAIL作为对照。The HSA was dissolved to 20 mg/ml with phosphate buffer PBS (137 mM NaCl, 10 mM Na 2 HPO 4 , 2.68 mM KCl, 2 mM KH 2 PO 4 ). HSA (100 μl/well) was added to the plate and coated overnight at 4 °C. The plate was washed twice with PBS (200 μl/well), and 100 μl of different concentrations of fusion protein were added. After incubating for 2 h at 37 ° C, the plate was washed 4 times with PBST (PBS + 0.075% Tween 20), and then incubated with mouse anti-TRAIL antibody for 1 h. After washing the plate with PBST, the horseradish peroxidase-labeled goat anti-mouse IgG secondary antibody was added for incubation. Finally TMP chromogenic substrate, 2M phosphate color reaction was stopped, measuring A 450nm microplate reader. hTRAIL and mmTRAIL were used as controls.
2、试验结果2, test results
结果如图3B和4B所示,hTRAIL和mmTRAIL与HSA孵育后,用抗TRAIL抗体进行检测,颜色反应并不随蛋白浓度增高而变化。但是,随着ABD-hTRAIL和ABD-mmTRAIL浓度的提高,A450nm吸收值也相应升高。这一结果说明hTRAIL和mmTRAIL几乎不与HSA结合。而ABD-hTRAIL和ABD-mmTRAIL与HSA能够结合。As a result, as shown in Figs. 3B and 4B, hTRAIL and mmTRAIL were incubated with HSA and detected with an anti-TRAIL antibody, and the color reaction did not change with an increase in protein concentration. However, as the concentration of ABD-hTRAIL and ABD-mmTRAIL increased, the A 450 nm absorption value also increased accordingly. This result indicates that hTRAIL and mmTRAIL hardly bind to HSA. ABD-hTRAIL and ABD-mmTRAIL can be combined with HSA.
实验结果说明,本发明制备得到的白蛋白结合型肿瘤坏死因子相关凋亡诱导配体变异体:ABD-hTRAIL和ABD-mmTRAIL,均具有白蛋白结合能力。The experimental results indicate that the albumin-binding tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand variants prepared by the present invention: ABD-hTRAIL and ABD-mmTRAIL all have albumin binding ability.
实验例2白蛋白结合型TRAIL变异体体外细胞杀伤活性Experimental Example 2 In vitro cell killing activity of albumin-bound TRAIL variants
1、试验方法1. Test method
将结肠癌Colo205细胞接种于RPMI 1640中,于37℃,5%CO2条件下培养。ABD-hTRAIL和ABD-mmTRAIL与has分别按摩尔比1:1混合,室温结合30-60min后加入细胞中(20000个/孔)。作用过夜后,再向孔中加入10ul CCK8测定细胞存活率。Colon cancer Colo205 cells were seeded in RPMI 1640 and cultured at 37 ° C, 5% CO 2 . ABD-hTRAIL and ABD-mmTRAIL were mixed with has 1:1, respectively, and added to the cells (20000 cells/well) after 30-60 min at room temperature. After overnight action, 10 ul of CCK8 was added to the wells to determine cell viability.
2、试验结果2, test results
如图5和图6所示,ABD-hTRAIL和ABD-mmTRAIL与蛋白结合后,对肿瘤细胞有杀伤作用。As shown in Fig. 5 and Fig. 6, ABD-hTRAIL and ABD-mmTRAIL bind to proteins and have a killing effect on tumor cells.
实验结果说明,本发明制备得到的白蛋白结合型肿瘤坏死因子相关凋亡诱导配体变异体:ABD-hTRAIL和ABD-mmTRAIL,与白蛋白结合后均有肿瘤细胞杀伤活性,可用于体内抗肿瘤。
The experimental results show that the albumin-binding tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand variants prepared by the present invention: ABD-hTRAIL and ABD-mmTRAIL have tumor cell killing activity after binding to albumin, and can be used for anti-tumor in vivo. .
实验例3白蛋白结合型TRAIL变异体体内代谢Experimental Example 3 In vivo metabolism of albumin-bound TRAIL variants
1、试验方法1. Test method
将BALB/c小鼠分为两组。一组按10mg/kg尾静脉注射hTRAIL或mmTRAIL蛋白。另一组注射相同量的ABD-hTRAIL或ABD-mmTRAIL。注射后不同时间点取血,肝素抗凝,离心得小鼠血浆。再将小鼠血浆用RMPI1640培养基稀释25,50,100和250倍后,用Colo205细胞测定杀伤活性。通过血浆中残余蛋白活性的变化来监测蛋白体内代谢速度。BALB/c mice were divided into two groups. One group was injected with hTRAIL or mmTRAIL protein at a tail vein of 10 mg/kg. The other group injected the same amount of ABD-hTRAIL or ABD-mmTRAIL. Blood was taken at different time points after injection, heparin was anticoagulated, and mouse plasma was obtained by centrifugation. After the mouse plasma was diluted 25, 50, 100 and 250 times with RMPI1640 medium, the killing activity was measured using Colo205 cells. The rate of protein metabolism in vivo is monitored by changes in residual protein activity in plasma.
2、试验结果2, test results
结果如图7A和8A所示,hTRAIL和mmTRAIL代谢速率相似。静脉注射后,血浆中蛋白含量迅速下降。静脉注射4h后,即便血清只稀释25倍,也基本检测不到肿瘤细胞杀伤活性,提示此时hTRAIL和mmTRAIL蛋白在血浆里的残余量已经很少。图7B和8B显示,ABD-hTRAIL和ABD-mmTRAIL在血浆内的代谢要慢得多。即便到48h,稀释250倍,仍能检测到血浆内残存蛋白对肿瘤细胞的杀伤。Results As shown in Figures 7A and 8A, the metabolic rates of hTRAIL and mmTRAIL were similar. After intravenous injection, the protein content in the plasma drops rapidly. After 4 hours of intravenous injection, even if the serum was only diluted 25-fold, the tumor cell killing activity was not detected, suggesting that the residual amount of hTRAIL and mmTRAIL protein in the plasma was small. Figures 7B and 8B show that ABD-hTRAIL and ABD-mmTRAIL are much more slowly metabolized in plasma. Even after 48 hours, diluted 250 times, the killing of tumor cells by residual proteins in plasma can be detected.
以上结果表明,与hTRAIL和mmTRAIL相比,本发明制备得到的白蛋白结合型肿瘤坏死因子相关凋亡诱导配体变异体:ABD-hTRAIL和ABD-mmTRAIL,其在体内的代谢慢,半衰期长,在体内的存留时间长。The above results indicate that the albumin-binding tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand variants prepared by the present invention, ABD-hTRAIL and ABD-mmTRAIL, have slow metabolism and long half-life in vivo compared with hTRAIL and mmTRAIL. The retention time in the body is long.
实验例4白蛋白结合型TRAIL变异体的肿瘤吸收和组织分布Experimental Example 4 Tumor absorption and tissue distribution of albumin-bound TRAIL variants
1、试验方法1. Test method
将ABD-hTRAIL和hTRAIL分别用CF750荧光染料进行标记。将5×105个Colo205细胞(100μl)接种于裸鼠右后肢皮下,待瘤体生长到100-200mm3大小时,尾静脉注射给予50ug的CF750标记的蛋白,然后在第2,4,8,24h活体成像扫描,观察蛋白被肿瘤摄取的情况。最后一次扫描结束后(24h),处死小鼠,取出脏器和组织进行扫描,检查蛋白的组织分布情况。ABD-hTRAIL and hTRAIL were labeled with CF750 fluorescent dye, respectively. 5×10 5 Colo205 cells (100 μl) were inoculated subcutaneously into the right hind limb of nude mice. When the tumor grew to a size of 100-200 mm 3 , 50 ug of CF750-labeled protein was administered by tail vein injection, and then at 2, 4, 8 , 24h in vivo imaging scan to observe the protein intake by the tumor. At the end of the last scan (24h), the mice were sacrificed and the organs and tissues were removed for scanning to examine the tissue distribution of the protein.
2、试验结果2, test results
如图9所示,静脉注射2h后,瘤体内即可检测到hTRAIL和ABD-hTRAIL。4-8h时,瘤体摄取hTRAIL量比2h有所增加。但24h时,瘤体内hTRAIL的量明显减少。与hTRAIL不同的是,4-8h期间,瘤体摄入的ABD-hTRAIL达到高峰,但24h后蛋白量并未明显减少。而且,相同时间点,瘤体摄取的ABD-hTRAIL含量比hTRAIL多。24h后取出小鼠组织扫描发现,肿瘤中ABD-hTRAIL含量明显比hTRAIL多。此外,两种蛋白主要分布在代谢器官肝和肾。与活体成像观察一致,组织器官扫描也证明ABD-hTRAIL比hTRAIL更易富集于肿瘤组织。
As shown in Figure 9, hTRAIL and ABD-hTRAIL were detected in the tumor 2 hours after intravenous injection. At 4-8h, the amount of hTRAIL uptake by the tumor increased compared with 2h. However, at 24h, the amount of hTRAIL in the tumor was significantly reduced. Unlike hTRAIL, ABD-hTRAIL uptake reached the peak during 4-8h, but the amount of protein did not decrease significantly after 24h. Moreover, at the same time point, the tumors ingested more ABD-hTRAIL than hTRAIL. After 24 hours, the mouse tissue was removed and found to have more ABD-hTRAIL content than hTRAIL. In addition, the two proteins are mainly distributed in the liver and kidney of the metabolic organs. Consistent with in vivo imaging observations, tissue-organ scans also demonstrated that ABD-hTRAIL is more readily enriched in tumor tissue than hTRAIL.
ABD-mmTRAIL和mmTRAIL被肿瘤的吸收和组织分布显示同样的规律。结果如图10所示,活体成像和组织分布都显示ABD-mmTRAIL比mmTRAIL更易富集于肿瘤组织。ABD-mmTRAIL and mmTRAIL show the same pattern by tumor absorption and tissue distribution. As a result, as shown in FIG. 10, both in vivo imaging and tissue distribution showed that ABD-mmTRAIL was more easily enriched in tumor tissues than mmTRAIL.
试验结果说明,与hTRAIL和mmTRAIL相比,本发明制备得到的白蛋白结合型肿瘤坏死因子相关凋亡诱导配体变异体:ABD-hTRAIL和ABD-mmTRAIL的靶向性更强。The test results indicated that the albumin-binding tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand variants: ABD-hTRAIL and ABD-mmTRAIL prepared by the present invention were more targeted than hTRAIL and mmTRAIL.
实验例5白蛋白结合型TRAIL变异体体内抗肿瘤效果Experimental Example 5 Anti-tumor effect of albumin-binding TRAIL variant in vivo
1、试验方法1. Test method
将5×105个Colo205细胞(100μl)接种于裸鼠右后肢皮下,随机分组。在接种后一定时间,尾静脉注射给予5mg/kg蛋白,对照组给予相同体积的PBS。每天测量记录肿瘤大小,并在24天时处死小鼠,取瘤体拍照。5 × 10 5 Colo205 cells (100 μl) were inoculated subcutaneously into the right hind limb of nude mice and randomly divided into groups. At a certain time after inoculation, 5 mg/kg protein was administered by tail vein injection, and the control group was given the same volume of PBS. Tumor size was recorded daily and mice were sacrificed at 24 days and tumors were taken.
2、试验结果2, test results
如图11所示,接种后第6天和第11天各给药一次,ABD-hTRAIL组肿瘤生长趋势比hTRAIL组明显延缓。到第24天时,PBS对照组,hTRAIL组和ABD-hTRAIL组瘤体的大小分别为:674.3±194.1mm3,546.1±265.1mm3和65.6+41.7mm3(图11A)。瘤体大小观察与生长曲线结果一致(图11B)。PBS对照组,hTRAIL组和ABD-hTRAIL组瘤体重量分别为0.367±0.06g,0.32±0.09g和0.016±0.02g。As shown in Fig. 11, once on the 6th day and the 11th day after inoculation, the tumor growth trend of the ABD-hTRAIL group was significantly delayed compared with the hTRAIL group. By day 24, the sizes of the PBS control group, hTRAIL group and ABD-hTRAIL group were: 674.3 ± 194.1 mm 3 , 546.1 ± 265.1 mm 3 and 65.6 + 41.7 mm 3 (Fig. 11A). Tumor size observations were consistent with growth curve results (Figure 11B). In the PBS control group, the tumor weights of the hTRAIL group and the ABD-hTRAIL group were 0.367±0.06 g, 0.32±0.09 g, and 0.016±0.02 g, respectively.
图12结果显示,ABD-mmTRAIL与ABD-hTRAIL治疗结果相似。接种后第5天和第9天各给药1次,ABD-mmTRAIL组肿瘤生长明显比mmTRAIL治疗组缓慢。24天观察结束时,PBS对照,mmTRAIL组和ABD-mmTRAIL组瘤体大小分别为925.7±222.7mm3,642.4±194.5mm3和152.3±44.7mm3(图12A)。瘤体大小与肿瘤生长曲线结果一致(图12B)。PBS对照组,mmTRAIL组和ABD-mmTRAIL组瘤体平均重量分别为0.539±0.069g,0.341±0.089g,0.088+0.028g。Figure 12 shows that ABD-mmTRAIL is similar to ABD-hTRAIL treatment. On the 5th day and the 9th day after the inoculation, the tumor growth was significantly slower than that of the mmTRAIL treatment group in the ABD-mmTRAIL group.
