Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of medicine and biotechnology, and specifically relates to the application of fludarabine and temozolomide in the treatment of brain glioma. Background Art
[0002] Glioblastoma (GBM) is a tumor originating from glial cells in the brain, accounting for 40% to 60% of all primary central nervous system tumors and is known as the most common primary intracranial tumor in adults. Temozolomide (TMZ) is currently the only chemotherapy drug with clear efficacy against glioma. The small size (194Da) and lipophilicity (logP 1.4) of TMZ enable it to penetrate the blood-brain barrier, making it a more effective drug for the treatment of GBM. However, TMZ treatment is poorly effective, which is due to its resistance pathway, either increasing the expression of O6-alkylguanine methylguanine-deoxymethyltransferase (MGMT) or increasing protein expression by demethylating the MGMT promoter site.
[0003] The standard treatment for GBM is to first perform maximal surgical resection, followed by simultaneous radiotherapy and temozolomide treatment, and then 6 cycles of TMZ adjuvant chemotherapy. These treatments can cause iatrogenic immunosuppression in GBM patients, known as treatment-related lymphopenia (TRL), which occurs in about 40% of GBM patients after treatment and is associated with poor survival. Moreover, this treatment is only effective for a few months, and almost all GBM tumors inevitably recur after treatment. In addition to TMZ, only bevacizumab is currently approved by the FDA for the clinical treatment of recurrent GBM. However, bevacizumab can only effectively relieve symptoms and improve quality of life in the short term, and bevacizumab has no combined effect with TMZ and radiotherapy; in addition, it reduces the absorption of TMZ, cannot improve overall survival, and has significant side effects such as hypertension, venous thrombosis, and infection.
[0004] Based on the above background, in order to improve the efficacy and prognosis of GBM patients, new treatment strategies need to be continuously provided. The present invention provides an application of two drugs in combination to prepare a drug for treating glioma, so as to solve the problem of poor efficacy in the treatment of glioma patients in the prior art and improve the efficacy of glioma.

[0057] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the embodiments. The following description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the present invention in other forms. Any technician familiar with the profession may use the above disclosed technical content to change it into an equivalent embodiment with equivalent changes. Any simple modification or equivalent change made to the following embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the present invention falls within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0058] Example 1 In vitro cell verification of the synergistic effect of fludarabine and temozolomide 1. Experimental materials: GL261 mouse glioma cell line and T3-5 human primary glioma cell line were both from Jiang Tao's research group at Tiantan Hospital.
[0059] 2. Experimental methods: 1. DPBS: add 0.2g KCl, 8.0g NaCl, 0.2g KH2PO4, 1.15g Na2HPO4 to 1L, adjust pH to 7.35, then add 0.1g MgCl2·6H2O, mix thoroughly until the solution is clear, add 0.133g CaCl2·2H2O, mix thoroughly until the solution is clear. Sterilize twice with a 0.2μM filter, and store in aliquots at 4°C.
[0060] 2. Preparation of PMS solution: Use DPBS to prepare 0.92 mg / mL PMS solution, filter and sterilize with a 0.2 μM filter, divide into EP tubes wrapped with tin foil, and store at -20°C away from light.
[0061] 3. Preparation of MTS solution: Prepare according to the ratio of 1 mg MTS powder to 0.5 mL DPBS, gently mix, about 15 minutes, until MTS is completely dissolved. Measure the pH and keep it between 6.0-6.5. After sterilization by filtering twice with a 0.2 μM filter, dispense into EP tubes wrapped with tin foil and store at -20°C away from light.
[0062] 4. Preparation of MTS / PMS working solution: Melt the prepared MTS and PMS solutions separately, and then mix them into MTS / PMS working solution in a volume ratio of MTS:PMS of 20:1.
[0063] 5. Taking the combination of fludarabine and temozolomide in the GL261 cell line as an example, the following concentration gradients of fludarabine were set: 0μM, 0.1μM, 0.2μM, 0.3μM, 0.4μM, 0.5μM, and the following concentration gradients of temozolomide were set: 0μM, 50μM, 100μM, 200μM, 300μM. All cell lines were first treated with the above-mentioned different concentration gradients of fludarabine for 24 hours, and then replaced with different concentration gradients of temozolomide for 4 days. Each drug combination concentration has 3 replicates. The concentration gradient setting of the T3-5 cell line is consistent with that of GL261.
[0064] 6. Prepare the corresponding volume of MTS / PMS working solution as needed, and then add the corresponding MTS / PMS working solution at a ratio of working solution: culture medium = 1:5 to make the final system 120μL per well, then incubate at 37℃, 5% CO2 for 2 hours. According to the absorbance spectrum of the formazan product produced after MTS reduction, read the data A490 at the absorption peak of 490nm, and subtract the data A630 read at 630nm to subtract the noise value caused by cell debris, etc., and other non-specific absorbance values.
[0065] 7. Calculate the cell survival rate based on the absorbance value A490-A630, cell survival rate = (experimental group (A490-A630) / control group) × 100%. Take the average of the survival rates of the three replicate wells, and then draw a relative survival rate heat map using Graphpad software. Calculate the drug inhibition rate based on the cell survival rate, inhibition rate = 1-cell survival rate; use the Golden formula to calculate the combined index q value of the two drugs: q = E (A + B) / (EA + EB-EA * EB). E (A + B) is the inhibition rate of the two drugs in combination, EA and EB are the inhibition rates of each drug when used alone, q values greater than or equal to 1 indicate that the two drugs in combination have a synergistic effect, and q values less than 1 indicate that the two drugs in combination have an antagonistic effect.
[0066] 3. Experimental results: In GL261 mouse glioma cells and human primary T3-5 glioma cells, Figure 1 to Figure 2 The relative cell survival rate of glioma cells treated with fludarabine and temozolomide was shown ( Figure 1 GL261 mouse glioma cells, Figure 2 is a human primary T3-5 glioma cell line). Figure 3 to Figure 4 The relationship between the inhibition rate of fludarabine and temozolomide and the combination index q value is shown ( Figure 3 For GL261 cells, Figure 4 for T3-5 cells), Figure 5 to Figure 6 The specific values of the inhibition rate and the combination index q value of fludarabine and temozolomide at gradient concentrations are shown ( Figure 5 For GL261 cells, Figure 6 For T3-5 cells), it can be seen that the q values are significantly greater than 1, indicating that the combination of fludarabine and temozolomide has a significant synergistic inhibitory effect on glioma cells.
[0067] Example 2 In vivo animal experiment confirms the synergistic effect of fludarabine and temozolomide 1. Experimental Methods (1) Order 5-week-old C57 / BL6J mice in advance and raise them in the animal room for one week.
[0068] (2) Collect GL261-luc mouse glioma cells in the logarithmic growth phase. GL261-luc cells are GL261 cells carrying a luciferase marker. After the D-luciferin free acid substrate is injected in vivo, the luminescence signal intensity can be detected and tracked using a small animal in vivo imaging system.
[0069] (3) Wash once with saline and count live cells using trypan blue.
[0070] (4) Resuspend the cells in sterile saline to ensure a concentration of 1×10 5 / μL.
[0071] (5) The mice were weighed and anesthetized by intraperitoneal injection of 400 μL / 20 g.
[0072] (6) After the mouse is deeply anesthetized, use a shaver to remove the hair on its skull and fix it on the positioning device.
[0073] (7) Disinfect the mouse’s scalp with an alcohol cotton ball and cut the skin tissue above the skull.
[0074] (8) Use a sterile cotton ball to carefully wipe the mouse skull to remove the fascia.
[0075] (9) Position the microinjection needle at the center of the intersection of bregma and midline.
[0076] (10) Locate the hole 1 mm posi- tively oriented to the anterior bregma and 2 mm to the right of the midline and use a skull drill to make a hole.
[0077] (11) Use a 10 μL microsyringe to aspirate 6-7 μL of cell suspension and remove the bubbles.
[0078] (12) Insert the needle into the hole to a depth of 3.5 mm, and then withdraw the needle to 3 mm. Inject 5 μL into each mouse.
[0079] (13) After the injection is completed, let it stand for 5 minutes and slowly remove the injector.
[0080] (14) Use medical glue to seal the skin and place the mouse back into its cage.
[0081] (15) On the 5th day after orthotopic tumor injection in the mouse brain, small animal imaging was performed to detect the tumor size in the mouse.
[0082] (16) D-luciferin free acid substrate was injected into mice via intraperitoneal injection. The mice were anesthetized with mouse anesthetic 10 min after injection and placed in a small animal in vivo imaging system 18 min after injection to detect the luminescence signal intensity.
[0083] (17) All tumor model mice were divided into four groups according to the intensity of the luminescent signal to ensure that there was no difference in the mean signal values of the four groups.
[0084] (18) The corresponding drugs were given to treat tumor mice: temozolomide was administered via the tail vein at a rate of 30 mg / kg / day for 10 days; fludarabine was administered via the tail vein at a rate of 20 mg / kg / day for 3 days; the combination group was first given fludarabine for 3 days and then temozolomide for 7 days.
[0085] (19) Perform another tumor size signal test on the 15th or 12th day after the dosing cutoff time.
[0086] (20) The differences in tumor size between groups of mice after drug treatment were analyzed by analyzing the intensity of the luminescent signal, and the drug-drug interaction index (CDI) was calculated.
[0087] 2. Experimental Results 2.1 In vivo experiment on inhibition of tumor growth by fludarabine combined with temozolomide.
[0088] The drug interaction index, or CDI, is used to evaluate the in vivo therapeutic effect: CDI calculation formula is: CDI = AB / (A*B) AB is the ratio of the tumor signal size of the two-drug combination group to the control group, and A or B is the ratio of the tumor signal size of each drug alone group to the control group. When CDI is less than 1, it means that the two drugs have a synergistic therapeutic effect. Figure 7 The in vivo therapeutic effect of the combination of fludarabine and temozolomide in the GL261 cell transplant tumor model was evaluated. The results showed that the CDI value of the combination of the two was 0.91149, indicating that fludarabine and temozolomide have a combined therapeutic effect in vivo.
[0089] Figure 8 The data show the grouping, small animal imaging results and tumor size statistics of C57BL / 6J mouse brains transplanted with GL261-luc cells in situ. According to the t-test, it is obvious that the combination of the two drugs significantly inhibits the growth of orthotopic transplanted tumors. On the 15th day, the tumor in the combination group was significantly smaller than that in the temozolomide alone group. It can be seen that the combination of fludarabine and temozolomide has a significant synergistic effect.
[0090] Example 3 In vivo animal experiments verify the synergistic effect of STAT1 knockdown and temozolomide 1. Experimental materials: GL261-luc cells, STAT1 knockdown lentivirus, puromycin (10 mg / mL), C57 / BL6J mice.
[0091] 2. Experimental methods: (1) Plate the prepared GL261-luc cell suspension in a six-well cell culture plate, with 200,000 cells per well.
[0092] (2) After the cells adhered, GL261 cells were infected with virus at an MOI of 20, where MOI = (virus titer x virus volume) / cell number.
[0093] (3) 48 hours after infection, cells were treated with 4ug / mL puromycin-containing medium for two days to obtain a cell line with stable STAT1 knockdown, and the STAT1 knockdown effect was detected by western blotting. (4) Then, cells with stable knockdown of STAT1 and control GL261-luc cells were cultured at 5×10 5 The number was injected into the mouse's skull.
[0094] (5) In vivo imaging of small animals was performed on day 5 after injection to detect the initial tumor size.
[0095] (6) The patients were then treated with 30 mg / kg / day of temozolomide for seven days.
[0096] (7) On day 12, in vivo imaging was performed again to analyze the tumor size of each group of mice.
[0097] (8) The in vivo effects of STAT1 knockdown and temozolomide treatment were evaluated by tumor size and using CDI values.
[0098] 3. Experimental Results 1. Fig. 9 The results of western blot showed that STAT1 was successfully knocked down. The in vivo experiments used shSTAT1-84 cells.
[0099] 2. Fig.10 The in vivo therapeutic effect of STAT1 knockdown and temozolomide in the GL261 cell transplant tumor model was evaluated. The CDI value of the combination of the two was 0.60392, indicating that knockdown of the target STAT1 and temozolomide treatment had a significant synergistic therapeutic effect in vivo. The results were consistent with the in vivo therapeutic effect of the STAT1 inhibitor fludarabine combined with temozolomide.
[0100] 3. Fig.11 The left picture shows the tumor size on the 5th day after transplantation of the orthotopic tumor, and the right picture shows the tumor size on the 12th day of administration. The t-test results show that compared with the STAT1 knockdown group and the temozolomide treatment group alone, STAT1 knockdown combined with temozolomide can significantly inhibit tumor growth in vivo. Fig.12 This is the survival curve of each group of mice after transplantation of orthotopic tumors. It can be seen that STAT1 knockdown combined with temozolomide significantly prolonged the survival of mice.
[0101] Based on the in vivo and in vitro experimental results in the examples, it is shown that STAT1 knockdown or the combined administration of the STAT1 inhibitor fludarabine and temozolomide has a good synergistic effect in brain glioma and has excellent potential application value.
