Problems solved by technology

Studies have found that high doses of NGR-TNFα can directly damage vascular endothelial cells, resulting in vascular leakage, causing hemorrhagic necrosis and showing anti-tumor effects; however, the ability of NGR-TNFα to bind CD13 is weak, and CD13 is also present in normal tissues expression, the use of NGR-TNFα in the preparation of anti-tumor drugs has major safety issues
[0004] At present, there is a lack of a highly safe targeting molecule for targeted delivery of TNFα, or a highly safe targeted TNFα-related fusion protein
However, there is no report on the use of Affibodies for targeted delivery of TNFα

Embodiment 1

[0059] Example 1 includes PDGFRβ-specific Affibody Z PDGFRβ Molecular Design and Cloning Construction of Fusion Protein Z-TNFα with TNFα

[0060] 1. Molecular design of Z-TNFα

[0061] Affibody Z PDGFRβ Consists of 58 amino acids (Table 1). TNFα is the extracellular segment of murine TNFα (a fragment consisting of 77-233 amino acids) (see Table 1). Priority design will Z PDGFRβ Linked to the N-terminus of TNFα to construct the fusion protein Z-TNFα.

[0062] 2. Construction of Z-TNFα expression vector

[0063] According to Z PDGFRβ The amino acid sequence (SEQ ID NO: 1) was designed, and its initial coding gene (SEQ ID NO: 2) was designed, and then optimized by nucleic acid analysis software. For the coding sequence of TNFα gene, refer to the sequence (SEQ ID NO: 3, SEQ ID NO: 4) provided by gene bank (NM_013693.3). According to the molecular design, the Z-TNFα coding gene (SEQ ID NO: 5, SEQ ID NO: 6) was constructed by software, and then artificially synthesized by a ...

[0064] Example 2 Expression and separation and purification of Z-TNFα

[0065] Transfer the pQE30-Z-TNFα plasmid into Escherichia coli M15 strain, pick the monoclonal strain and insert it into the double-resistant (ampicillin 100 μg / ml, kanamycin 30 μg / ml) LB liquid medium, shake culture at 37°C , when the bacterial concentration A 600 When the temperature reaches about 0.8, add 0.05 mM isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactopyranoside (Isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside, IPTG), and induce culture at 26° C. for 14-16 hours. Centrifuge (7000g, 10min) to collect the bacteria, resuspend with Lysis buffer (50mM phosphate buffer, pH8.0; 300mM sodium chloride; 20mM imidazole; 10mM β-mercaptoethanol), add phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride (Phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride, PMSF) to a final concentration of 1 mM, and sonicate the bacteria in an ice bath (power 300 W, work for 10 s, interval 30 s, 40 min in total). After breaking the bacteria, centrifuge (4°C, 25000g, 10min), repeat 4 times, and col...

Embodiment 3

[0066] Example 3 Binding of Z-TNFα to pericytes

[0067] Firstly, after incubating pericytes with PDGFRβ-specific antibody, the expression of PDGFRβ receptor on the surface of pericytes was detected by flow cytometry. The result is as Figure 4 As shown in A, PDGFRβ is highly expressed on the surface of pericytes. In order to further analyze whether Z-TNFα can combine with pericytes, we use FAM dyes to label Z-TNFα and TNFα, then incubate them with pericytes for 1 h, and then analyze by flow cytometry. Figure 4 The result of B shows that Z-TNFα can bind to pericytes. Moreover, this binding can be weakened by a PDGFRβ-specific antibody (a-PDGFRβ) incubated with cells in advance, indicating that Z-TNFα binds to cells through PDGFRβ on the cell surface. However, TNFα is largely not bound to pericytes, suggesting that fusion Z PDGFRβ Endowed TNFα with the ability to bind to PDGFRβhighly expressed pericytes.

Abstract

The present invention provides a fusion protein, which includes the following parts: (1) a functional fragment domain of a PDGFRβ-specific affinity body or a domain having at least 80% homology sequence with the functional fragment; (2) A functional fragment domain of tumor necrosis factor alpha or a domain having at least 80% homologous sequence with the functional fragment. The fusion protein of the invention has high safety and anti-tumor effect, can also improve the sensitivity of tumor cells to doxorubicin, and significantly improve the anti-tumor activity of doxorubicin. The invention has high application value in the preparation of antitumor drugs.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of biotechnology medicine, in particular to the preparation and application of a fusion protein comprising PDGFRβ specific affinity body and TNFα. Background technique [0002] Tumor necrosis factor α (Tumor necrosis factor α, TNFα) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that plays an important role in the body's anti-tumor. Recombinantly expressed TNFα has significant antitumor effect. However, because the receptor is widely expressed in normal cells, the direct application of TNFα will cause serious systemic toxicity, so it can only be used for the treatment of melanoma or sarcoma by local perfusion of the lower limbs, or the treatment of unresectable liver cancer by local perfusion of the liver (Ronca et al., Immunobiology , 2009, 214:800-810). Targeted transport is an effective way to reduce the systemic toxicity of TNFα. Existing studies have focused on the targeted delivery of TNFα using antibodies or tumor-directing...
