Description
本发明涉及一种新型治疗肝癌的FGF类似物及其应用,特别涉及人FGF21类似物在制备用于治疗肝癌药物中的应用,属于医药技术领域。The invention relates to a novel FGF analogue for treating liver cancer and its application, in particular to the application of a human FGF21 analogue in the preparation of drugs for treating liver cancer, and belongs to the field of medical technology.
肝癌为我国常见恶性肿瘤之一,高发于东南沿海地区。我国肝癌病人的中位年龄为40~50岁,男性比女性多见。近年来其发病率有增高趋势。我国肝癌年死亡率占肿瘤死亡率的第二位,在消化系统恶性肿瘤中列第三位,仅次于胃和食管癌。乙型、丙型肝炎、肝硬化,肝细胞坏死伴有肝细胞的再生过程中易于发生恶变。Liver cancer is one of the common malignant tumors in my country, with a high incidence in the southeast coastal areas. The median age of patients with liver cancer in my country is 40 to 50 years old, and it is more common in men than women. In recent years, its incidence has been increasing. In my country, the annual mortality rate of liver cancer accounts for the second place in the death rate of tumors, and ranks the third place among malignant tumors of the digestive system, second only to gastric and esophageal cancer. Hepatitis B, C, liver cirrhosis, hepatocyte necrosis accompanied by regeneration of liver cells are prone to malignant transformation.
目前,肝癌的治疗主要以外科根治手术为主,化疗、放疗、中医药治疗及生物治疗作为其辅助性治疗手段。首次诊断的病人中大约有三分之二接受了根治术,其中超过一半的患者出现复发或远处转移。对晚期癌肿或有广泛转移的癌肿,不能进行根治性手术,内科综合治疗常成为主要治疗手段,在可手术的患者中,肝癌术后仍有较高的复发率。而常用的治疗药物通常为广谱类化学药物,具有较多的副作用。因此,开发一种安全的、同时具有抑制肿瘤生长和复发且器官保护效应的、无相关明显副作用的、安全的治疗肝癌药物是目前研发的理想目标。At present, the treatment of liver cancer is mainly based on radical surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, traditional Chinese medicine treatment and biological therapy as its auxiliary treatment means. Approximately two-thirds of patients diagnosed for the first time underwent radical surgery, and more than half of these patients developed recurrence or distant metastasis. For advanced cancer or cancer with extensive metastasis, radical surgery cannot be performed, and comprehensive medical treatment is often used as the main treatment. Among operable patients, liver cancer still has a high recurrence rate after surgery. The commonly used therapeutic drugs are usually broad-spectrum chemical drugs, which have more side effects. Therefore, it is an ideal goal of current research and development to develop a safe drug for the treatment of liver cancer that can inhibit tumor growth and recurrence and protect organs, and has no obvious side effects.
近年来,大量临床调查结果显示肝癌的发生发展与代谢异常存在十分紧密的联系。大量研究发现代谢通路包括糖酵解、三羧酸循环、脂肪酸代谢、谷氨酰胺代谢等在肿瘤细胞中均发生了重编程变化,肿瘤细胞可通过对各种代谢途径间的协调,提供增殖所必须的脂肪酸、核苷酸等,从而使生物大分子的合成过程更适合于肿瘤细胞的快速增殖。尤其需要指出的是,代谢异常并不仅仅是肿瘤发生发展的结果,还可能直接参与肿瘤的始发过程。目前,从代谢的角度开发抗肿瘤药物,已在诸多的肿瘤中获得了成功的应用,比如,最近的研究发现某些编码代谢酶类的基因本身就是癌基因,如延胡索酸羧化酶的突变与肾癌的发生、发展;琥珀酸羧化酶的突变与嗜铬细胞瘤的发生发展;异柠檬酸脱氢酶的突变产生代谢物小分子2HG一直HNF4α的表达从而诱导胆管癌等。基于以上分析表明靶向肿瘤细胞代谢可能是杀死肿瘤细胞的有效途径之一。然而,目前开发的药物都是一些小分子抑制剂,靶向性较弱,副作用较多,而生物蛋白类药物吸收快,靶向性强。因此,针对肝癌开发新型靶向生物蛋白类制剂是目前肿瘤研究的热点。In recent years, a large number of clinical investigations have shown that the occurrence and development of liver cancer are closely related to metabolic abnormalities. A large number of studies have found that metabolic pathways, including glycolysis, tricarboxylic acid cycle, fatty acid metabolism, and glutamine metabolism, have undergone reprogramming changes in tumor cells. Tumor cells can provide the necessary for proliferation through the coordination of various metabolic pathways. Essential fatty acids, nucleotides, etc., so that the biomacromolecule synthesis process is more suitable for the rapid proliferation of tumor cells. In particular, it should be pointed out that metabolic abnormalities are not only the result of tumor occurrence and development, but may also be directly involved in the initiation process of tumors. At present, the development of antitumor drugs from the perspective of metabolism has been successfully applied in many tumors. For example, recent studies have found that some genes encoding metabolic enzymes are themselves oncogenes, such as the mutation of fumarate carboxylase and The occurrence and development of kidney cancer; the mutation of succinate carboxylase and the occurrence and development of pheochromocytoma; the mutation of isocitrate dehydrogenase produces the metabolite 2HG and the expression of HNF4α to induce cholangiocarcinoma, etc. Based on the above analysis, targeting tumor cell metabolism may be one of the effective ways to kill tumor cells. However, the currently developed drugs are all small molecule inhibitors with weak targeting and many side effects, while bioprotein drugs are absorbed quickly and have strong targeting. Therefore, the development of new targeted biological protein preparations for liver cancer is currently a hot spot in tumor research.
