Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biopharmaceutical technology, and in particular relates to the application of MDM2-213 polypeptide in the preparation of antitumor drugs. Background Technology
[0002] Alternative splicing, also known as alternative splicing, is a common post-transcriptional regulatory mechanism. The spliceosome, composed of five small nucleonucleotide proteins (U1, U2, U4, U5, and U6 snRNPs), splices pre-mRNA, retaining exons and removing introns, ultimately producing mature mRNA. This process can generate various mRNA variants, resulting in protein isoforms with different structures and functions. Recent studies have confirmed that aberrant regulation of splicing factors during tumorigenesis leads to aberrant splicing of various molecular precursor mRNAs, such as aberrant splicing of apoptosis proteins like BIN1, BCL2, and Caspase-9, producing functionally abnormal isoforms that regulate tumor progression. Therefore, targeted regulation of alternative splicing is of great significance for exploring and developing new cancer treatments.
[0003] The MDM2-p53 loop is a classic tumor regulatory pathway. p53 protein, as a key tumor suppressor, exerts its tumor-suppressive function by regulating cell cycle progression and cellular stress responses (such as DNA damage, oncogene activation, and hypoxia). In this loop, p53, as a transcription factor, activates the expression of the full-length MDM2 protein (Murine double-minute 2 full-length protein, MDM2-FL), thereby promoting tumor progression. MDM2, as an E3 ubiquitin ligase, inhibits p53 expression by mediating its ubiquitination and degradation, forming a negative feedback mechanism in the MDM2-p53 loop's regulation of tumors. Studies have shown that dysregulation of the MDM2-p53 loop is a key factor driving the progression of various tumors. U2SURP, also known as SR140, is a U2 snRNP-related protein containing the SURP motif and participates in the alternative splicing processes of various molecules as a core splicing factor. Research has found that U2SURP is abnormally expressed in various tumors, determining tumor progression.
[0004] In the existing technology, several drugs targeting MDM2 have entered clinical trials, such as APG-115, Brigimadlin and Navtemadlin, but they have encountered development difficulties due to significant hematological toxicity challenges and insufficient efficacy. Summary of the Invention
[0005] This invention addresses the challenges of hematologic toxicity and insufficient efficacy of existing drugs targeting MDM2 by providing the application of the MDM2-213 peptide in the preparation of antitumor drugs.
[0006] One of the objectives of this invention is to provide the application of MDM2-213 peptide in the preparation of antitumor drugs.
[0007] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the amino acid sequence of the MDM2-213 polypeptide is shown in SEQ ID NO.1 or SEQ ID NO.8.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the tumor is a p53 wild-type colorectal cancer, ovarian cancer, lung cancer, cervical cancer, breast cancer, thyroid cancer, liver cancer, or laryngeal cancer tumor.
[0009] A second objective of this invention is to provide an antitumor drug comprising an MDM2-213 polypeptide and pharmaceutically acceptable excipients; the amino acid sequence of the MDM2-213 polypeptide is shown in SEQ ID NO.1 or SEQ ID NO.8.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the tumor is a p53 wild-type colorectal cancer, ovarian cancer, lung cancer, cervical cancer, breast cancer, thyroid cancer, liver cancer, or laryngeal cancer tumor.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the dosage form of the antitumor drug is any one of capsules, tablets, microcapsules, injections, suppositories, sprays, powders, soft capsules, drop pills, honey pills, pills, granules, honey-infused pastes, sustained-release preparations, oral liquid preparations, chewable tablets, oral tablets, transdermal patches, and effervescent tablets.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: the present invention provides the application of MDM2-213 polypeptide in the preparation of antitumor drugs, wherein the MDM2-213 polypeptide is the complete MDM2-213 polypeptide with the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.1, or the truncated MDM2-213 polypeptide with the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.8.
[0013] This invention discovers the tumor-suppressive function of the MDM2-213 peptide in pan-cancer and reveals the influence and regulatory mechanism of the MDM2-213 peptide on the MDM2-p53 loop. As an endogenous small molecule protein, the MDM2-213 peptide has both the advantage of homology and the innovative mechanism of action of "killing two birds with one stone" in vivo, providing a new strategy for the treatment of p53 wild-type tumors and providing a new theoretical basis for the development of small molecule anti-tumor drugs targeting the MDM2-213 peptide.
[0014] This invention also discovered that after knocking down U2SURP, exons 3 and 4 of MDM2 undergo mutually exclusive splicing, generating a large number of MDM2-213 isoform transcripts (which contain exon 4 but not exon 3). The stop codon TAG appears in exon 4 of the isoform MDM2-213 mRNA sequence, causing premature termination of translation of the transcript isoform MDM2-213, ultimately producing a 76-amino acid polypeptide molecule. This polypeptide is a truncated protein with a partial loss of its functional region, giving it a molecular function that is completely different from MDM2-FL.
[0015] This invention, through pan-cancer clinical tissue samples and cell lines, has demonstrated a clear anti-tumor effect against tumors positive for wild-type p53 (WT-p53). Specifically, overexpression of the MDM2-213 peptide significantly inhibited the proliferation and migration of WT-p53 colon cancer HCT-116 cells, WT-p53 human ovarian cancer A2780 cells, WT-p53 human cervical squamous cell carcinoma Siha cells, WT-p53 human non-small cell lung cancer H1299 cells, p53 synonymous mutant human non-small cell lung cancer H1650 cells, and p53 synonymous mutant human non-small cell lung cancer H1568 cells. The study found that the proliferation and migration of p53-deficient (LT-p53) human ovarian cancer SKOV3 cells, p53-mutant human cervical cancer C33A cells, and p53-mutant human pancreatic cancer SW1990 cells were not affected by overexpression of the MDM2-213 peptide. However, after the above tumor cells restored their WT-p53 function by overexpressing p53, the overexpression of the MDM2-213 peptide exerted the ability to inhibit the proliferation and migration of the above tumor cells. It is evident that the ability of the MDM2-213 peptide to inhibit the proliferation and migration of tumor cells depends on WT-p53.
[0016] This invention demonstrates through in vitro and in vivo experiments that the MDM2-213 peptide exerts its anti-tumor effect through a dual mechanism of action: specifically, it stabilizes p53 and promotes its nuclear translocation, thereby increasing the expression level of p53 protein through interaction, significantly promoting p53 nuclear translocation, and reducing the level of cellular ubiquitination, preventing p53 from being degraded by ubiquitination and promoting its nuclear translocation; at the same time, it inhibits the expression of MDM2-FL, targets and induces the degradation of MDM2-FL, breaks the MDM2-p53 negative feedback loop, and relieves p53 inhibition.
[0017] Small molecule peptide drugs, with their high specificity, good activity, strong designability, and relatively low production cost, have shown great potential in tumor targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and as delivery carriers. To improve the druggability of the MDM2-213 peptide, this invention further reduced the molecular weight of the MDM2-213 peptide. Through co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) and point-mutation plasmid experiments, the key active sites of MDM2-213 were identified. Subsequently, using ten amino acid residues with high druggability as truncation ranges, a series of overexpression plasmids were constructed targeting the active sites, and their effects on p53 wild-type tumor cells were tested. The study found that the truncated peptide MDM2-213-QV (SEQ ID NO. 8) has similar anti-cancer activity to the MDM2-213 peptide (SEQ ID NO. 1) and is the main functional fragment for the anti-cancer effect of the MDM2-213 peptide. Compared to the MDM2-213 peptide, the truncated peptide MDM2-213-QV has a smaller molecular weight and therefore higher druggability.
[0018] The MDM2-213 peptide and its truncated peptide provided by this invention can exert their tumor-suppressive function in a p53-dependent manner by disrupting the MDM2-p53 loop balance. These findings provide new theoretical support for the application of the MDM2-213 peptide in clinical cancer treatment. Attached Figure Description

The Trizol method for extracting RNA from tissues followed these steps: 1) Take a piece of tissue the size of a mung bean and quickly put it into a mortar and grind it (crush it first, then grind it). Add liquid nitrogen while grinding until it becomes powder. Transfer it into a centrifuge tube and immediately add 1 mL of Trizol. 2) Let stand on ice for 5 minutes, add 200 mL of chloroform, shake vigorously and vortex for 30 seconds, then let stand on ice for 5 minutes; 3) Pre-cool the low-temperature centrifuge and centrifuge at 12,000 rpm and 4°C for 15 minutes; aspirate the supernatant, being careful not to aspirate the precipitate, and transfer the supernatant to a new sterile centrifuge tube. Add an equal volume of isopropanol to the supernatant, mix well, and let stand on ice for 15 minutes. Centrifuge at 12,000 rpm and 4°C for 10 minutes; discard the supernatant, add 1 mL of 75% ethanol (prepared with DEPC water) and wash twice. Centrifuge at 12,000 rpm and 4°C for 5 minutes. 4) Discard the supernatant, invert and air dry, add an appropriate amount of DEPC water to dissolve the precipitate; use Nanodrop to measure RNA concentration and purity.
[0047] The RNA obtained above was diluted to 500 ng / Reverse transcription was performed using the SPARKscript II RT Plus Kit (WithgDNA Eraser) (purchased from Cisco Systems, Inc.), entirely on ice. The reverse transcription system was prepared according to the instructions, as shown in Table 4. Before use, all reagents except PrimeScript RT Enzyme Mix were shaken and briefly centrifuged. After preparation, the mixture was shaken and centrifuged to perform the reverse transcription reaction and obtain cDNA. The reverse transcription reaction conditions were: 37°C for 15 minutes; 85°C for 5 seconds; and stored at -20°C.
[0048] Table 4
[0049] Using cDNA diluted 2-fold from the tumor tissue sample as a template, the PCR reaction system was prepared according to Table 5. Two-step PCR was performed using primers MDM2-213-F (SEQ ID NO. 9) and MDM2-213-R (SEQ ID NO. 10) as primers. The reaction program was as follows: pre-denaturation, 95℃, 30 seconds; PCR reaction, 95℃, 5 seconds; 55℃-60℃, 30 seconds; 40 cycles.
[0050] Table 5
[0051] like Figure 2 As shown, compared with the corresponding adjacent normal control (NC) tissues, the expression level of MDM2-213 mRNA was significantly reduced in tumor tissues of colon cancer, cervical cancer, ovarian cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, thyroid cancer, liver cancer, and laryngeal cancer; indicating that the MDM2-213 peptide is expressed at low levels in tumor tissues.
[0052] Example 2: Application of MDM2-213 peptide in the preparation of anti-HCT-116 human colon cancer tumor drug 1. The MDM2-213 polypeptide with the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.1 was linked to the HIS tag sequence by gene synthesis to construct an overexpression plasmid and obtain the fusion protein, abbreviated as: OE-MDM2-213.
[0053] In the HCT-116 cell line, the overexpression of OE-MDM2-213 was detected by HIS antibody after cell transfection. The specific steps are as follows: Ctrl is the blank control group, NC is the plasmid control group, and OE-MDM2-213 is the MDM2-213 overexpression group (SEQ ID NO.1); transfection was started when the cell density reached 40%. The corresponding plasmid was taken out from the -20℃ freezer, and the PEI transfection reagent was taken out from the 4℃ freezer. After brief centrifugation, the cells were placed on ice and transfected according to the PEI (… ): Plasmid ( Transfection was performed using a ratio of 2:1; taking one well of a six-well plate as an example, 100... Add 4% of serum-free and antibiotic-free culture medium PEI, 2 After the plasmid has been left to stand at room temperature for 10-15 minutes, the mixture is dropped into the wells to be transfected. Cell culture medium is added to make up the amount of cell culture medium. The medium is changed after 4 hours of incubation.
[0054] like Figure 3 As shown, a distinct band appeared in the OE-MDM2-213 group in the HCT-116 cell line, and HIS antibody was clearly detected in the OE-MDM2-213 group; indicating that the MDM2-213 overexpression plasmid was successfully constructed in the HCT-116 cell line, and MDM2-213 overexpression was successful.
[0055] 2. To determine the effects of the MDM2-213 polypeptide with the amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO.1 and the truncated fragments of the MDM2-213 polypeptide with the amino acid sequences SEQ ID NO.2-8 on the WT-p53 human colon cancer cell line HCT-116, the effects of MDM2-213 overexpression on cell proliferation, migration and apoptosis were detected by CCK-8 assay, colony formation assay, in vitro spheroidization assay of MMR cells, Transwell cell migration assay, wound healing assay and flow cytometry.
[0056] like Figure 4 As shown, the results of CCK-8, colony formation and in vitro spheroidization experiments of matrix glial cells showed that in the WT-p53 colon cancer HCT-116 cell line, the proliferation ability of tumor cells in the OE-MDM2-213 group was significantly lower than that in the control group, indicating that overexpression of MDM2-213 peptide (SEQ ID NO.1) has the ability to inhibit the proliferation of tumor cells HCT-116.
[0057] like Figure 5 As shown in the Transwell cell migration and wound healing assay, the migration ability of tumor cells in the OE-MDM2-213 group was significantly lower than that in the control group in the WT-p53 colon cancer HCT-116 cell line, indicating that overexpression of MDM2-213 peptide (SEQ ID NO.1) in colon cancer cells has the ability to inhibit the migration of HCT-116 tumor cells.
[0058] like Figure 6As shown, flow cytometry results indicated that in the WT-p53 colon cancer HCT-116 cell line, the number of tumor cells in the OE-MDM2-213 group undergoing early and late apoptosis was significantly higher than that in the control group, suggesting that overexpression of the MDM2-213 peptide (SEQ ID NO.1) in colon cancer cells has the ability to promote apoptosis of HCT-116 tumor cells.
[0059] like Figure 7 As shown in the CCK-8 and colony formation assays, in the WT-p53 colon cancer HCT-116 cell line, there was no significant difference in the proliferation capacity of tumor cells in the OE-MDM2-213-T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, and T6 groups compared with the NC control group; however, the proliferation capacity of tumor cells in the OE-MDM2-213-QV group was significantly lower than that in the NC control group, and similar to that in the OE-MDM2-213 group, indicating that the function of MDM2-213 peptide in inhibiting tumor proliferation mainly depends on the active fragment MDM2-213-QV (SEQ ID NO. 8).
[0060] like Figure 8 As shown in the Transwell cell migration and wound healing assay, in the WT-p53 colon cancer HCT-116 cell line, there was no significant difference in the migration ability of tumor cells in the OE-MDM2-213-T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, and T6 groups compared with the NC control group. However, the migration ability of tumor cells in the OE-MDM2-213-QV group was significantly lower than that in the NC control group, and similar to that in the OE-MDM2-213 group. This indicates that the function of MDM2-213 peptide in inhibiting tumor migration mainly depends on the active fragment MDM2-213-QV (SEQ ID NO.8).
[0061] 3. Animal in vivo experiments Constructing a mouse xenograft model: Establishment of a mouse xenograft model overexpressing MDM2-213 peptide: NC group (n=7), MDM2-213 overexpression group (n=7); 1×10n per mouse 6 100 Prepare the cell suspension (using DPBS), and use a disposable 1 mL syringe; gently pipette the cells to mix them, and then aspirate 100 mL of the solution. Cell suspension; capture immunodeficient mice and inject into the back of the neck; ear tag the mice, measure and record the weight of the mice and the long and short diameters of the tumors every 2 days; when the tumors grow to a suitable size, sacrifice the mice and photograph them according to the experimental groups; carefully separate the mouse tumor tissue, weigh it, and process and preserve it according to the requirements of subsequent experiments.
[0062] like Figure 9As shown, the tumor volume (long and short diameters) and tumor weight of xenograft mice overexpressing MDM2-213 peptide were significantly lower than those of the NC control group, indicating that overexpression of MDM2-213 peptide (SEQ ID NO.1) has the ability to inhibit tumor tissue development.
[0063] 4. To determine the effect of MDM2-213 peptide (SEQ ID NO.1) on the WT-p53 human colon cancer cell line HCT-116, its potential regulatory mechanism was explored by Co-IP, Western blot and immunofluorescence experiments.
[0064] like Figure 10 As shown in Part A, the Co-IP experiment results indicate that the MDM2-213 peptide can interact with p53; as Figure 10 As shown in section B and C, Western blot results indicated that in the WT-p53 colon cancer HCT-116 cell line, the MDM2-213 peptide could increase the expression level of p53 protein, decrease the level of cellular ubiquitination, and inhibit the expression of MDM2-FL; this suggests that the MDM2-213 peptide can exert a tumor-suppressive function by increasing p53 protein expression. Figure 10 As shown in section D, the immunofluorescence assay results indicate that overexpression of MDM2-213 significantly promoted p53 nuclear translocation, revealing that MDM2-213 exerts its anti-tumor effect by promoting p53 nuclear translocation. Therefore, the MDM2-213 peptide exerts its tumor-suppressive function by increasing p53 protein expression.
[0065] Example 3: Application of MDM2-213 peptide in the preparation of anti-A2780 and SKOV3 human ovarian cancer tumor drugs The MDM2-213 polypeptide with the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.1 was linked to the HIS tag sequence using a gene synthesis method to construct an overexpression plasmid and obtain a fusion protein, abbreviated as: OE-MDM2-213.
[0066] To determine the effects of the MDM2-213 polypeptide with the amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO.1 and the truncated fragments of the MDM2-213 polypeptide with the amino acid sequences SEQ ID NO.2-8 on the WT-p53 human ovarian cancer cell lines A2780 and SKOV3, the effects of MDM2-213 overexpression on cell proliferation, migration, and apoptosis were detected by Western blot, CCK-8 assay, colony formation assay, Transwell cell migration assay, and wound healing assay.
[0067] like Figure 11As shown in section AB, Western blot results indicated that in the WT-p53 human ovarian cancer A2780 cell line, the MDM2-213 peptide increased p53 protein expression and decreased cellular ubiquitination levels, while simultaneously inhibiting MDM2-FL expression; this suggests that the MDM2-213 peptide can exert tumor suppressive function by increasing p53 protein expression. Figure 11 As shown in section CE, in the WT-p53 human ovarian cancer A2780 cell line, the cell proliferation capacity of the OE-MDM2-213 group was significantly lower than that of the control group; indicating that overexpression of MDM2-213 in human ovarian cancer cells has the ability to inhibit the proliferation of tumor cells A2780.
[0068] like Figure 12 As shown, in the p53-deficient (LT-p53) human ovarian cancer SKOV3 cell line, the OE-MDM2-213 group showed no significant change in cell proliferation and migration compared to the NC control group. However, after overexpressing WT-p53 to rescue p53 function, the OE-MDM2-213+OE-P53 group showed significantly lower cell proliferation and migration than the control group and other groups. This indicates that overexpressing MDM2-213 in the p53-deficient (LT-p53) human ovarian cancer cell line SKOV3 does not have a tumor-suppressive effect. However, overexpressing WT-p53 to rescue p53 function restores its ability to inhibit the proliferation and migration of SKOV3 tumor cells, further demonstrating that the ability of MDM2-213 peptide to inhibit tumor cell proliferation and migration depends on WT-p53.
[0069] Example 4: Application of MDM2-213 peptide in the preparation of anti-Siha and C33A human cervical cancer tumor drugs The MDM2-213 polypeptide with the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.1 was linked to the HIS tag sequence using a gene synthesis method to construct an overexpression plasmid and obtain a fusion protein, abbreviated as: OE-MDM2-213.

[0071] like Figure 13 As shown in section A, MDM2-213 was successfully overexpressed in the WT-p53 human cervical squamous cell carcinoma Siha cell line; Figure 13 As shown in section BD, in the WT-p53 human cervical squamous cell carcinoma Siha cell line, the cell proliferation ability of the OE-MDM2-213 group was significantly lower than that of the control group, indicating that overexpression of MDM2-213 in human cervical squamous cell carcinoma cells has the ability to inhibit the proliferation of tumor cells Siha; Figure 13 As shown in the EH section, in the WT-p53 human cervical squamous cell carcinoma Siha cell line, the cell migration ability of the OE-MDM2-213 group was significantly lower than that of the control group, indicating that overexpression of MDM2-213 in human cervical squamous cell carcinoma cells has the ability to inhibit the migration of tumor cells Siha.
[0072] like Figure 14 As shown in section A, MDM2-213 was successfully overexpressed in the p53-mutant human cervical cancer C33A cell line; Figure 14 As shown in section BD, in the p53-mutant human cervical cancer C33A cell line, there was no significant difference in cell proliferation between the OE-MDM2-213 group and the control group, indicating that overexpression of MDM2-213 in p53-mutant human cervical cancer cells does not affect the proliferation ability of p53-mutant human cervical cancer cells C33A; further demonstrating that the function of MDM2-213 peptide in inhibiting tumor cell proliferation depends on WT-p53; Figure 14 As shown in the middle EH section, in the p53-mutant human cervical cancer C33A cell line, there was no significant difference in cell migration ability between the OE-MDM2-213 group and the control group, indicating that overexpression of MDM2-213 in p53-mutant human cervical cancer cells does not affect the migration ability of p53-mutant human cervical cancer cells C33A; further illustrating that the function of MDM2-213 peptide in inhibiting tumor cell migration depends on WT-p53.
