Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of bioengineering, and relates to a tumor targeting peptide targeting carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule CEACAM6, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] The Chinese neoadjuvant treatment guidelines for pancreatic cancer divide pancreatic cancer into resectable pancreatic cancer, borderline resectable pancreatic cancer, and locally advanced pancreatic cancer. Currently, surgical resection is the only way to cure pancreatic cancer, but only 20% of patients have the opportunity for surgery, because 80% of patients miss the best treatment period due to failure to receive timely diagnosis. Even if these patients undergo radical surgery, the chance of postoperative recurrence and metastasis is still high, and the median survival time is only 2 years. Cancer antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) is currently the only recognized serological marker for pancreatic cancer, but its diagnostic specificity and sensitivity are not high. Today, the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer mostly relies on traditional imaging examinations. With the rapid development of imaging technology and equipment, medical imaging, including multi-row CT (computer tomography), MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), and endoscopic ultrasound, play an important role in the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. However, the diagnostic sensitivity of CT and MRI for pancreatic cancer less than 2 cm is only 50%-77%, and the disadvantages of endoscopic ultrasound are that it is invasive, highly dependent on the operator's experience, and requires careful response to accidents such as bleeding caused by vascular variations. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop non-invasive, convenient, real-time dynamic imaging methods to achieve early diagnosis of tiny pancreatic cancer lesions and gain treatment time for pancreatic cancer patients.
[0003] Carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 6 (CEACAM6) is a member of the carcinoembryonic antigen gene family and the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily, and is composed of 12 immunoglobulin-related cell surface glycoproteins. These molecules play a role in cell signal transduction, cell adhesion, and tumorigenesis. CEACAM6 is considered to be an effective clinical biomarker for the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. Clinical studies have found that 92% of pancreatic cancer patient samples are positive for CEACAM6; compared with primary and / or metastatic pancreatic cancer, the level of CEACAM6 in normal pancreas and other normal organs is significantly reduced. The CEA-targeted fluorescent drugs SGM-101 and ssSM3E / 800CW, which are still under study, both show specificity and sensitivity in the recognition of pancreatic tumors, which can further guide surgical resection. In addition, methods for treating malignant tumors targeting CEACAM6 have also developed rapidly, such as monoclonal antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates, immunotoxin therapy, gene knockout, and other methods. Therefore, CEACAM6 has become an attractive target for the diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic cancer and other tumors.
[0004] The polypeptide that specifically binds to the CEACAM6 receptor can be used as a targeting group for imaging probes. Using small molecule polypeptides as targeting groups is a commonly used targeting strategy, which has been widely applied in the field of tumor targeted therapy and the research on tumor targeted imaging is also gradually increasing. Compared with monoclonal antibodies, small molecule polypeptides have the advantages of weak immunogenicity, rapid distribution in vivo, strong penetrability, easy synthesis and modification, etc.
[0005] The clinical application of Positron Emission Computed Tomography (PET) technology has developed rapidly, which can achieve non-invasive imaging of various diseases and is of great significance for the early diagnosis, staging, treatment and prognosis of diseases. In theory, PET can detect the earliest tumors and tumor metastases with no obvious morphological changes. By analyzing the PET-CT diagnostic examination results of pancreatic cancer patients, it is proved that PET-CT has high sensitivity and accuracy and has great clinical value and significance. However, 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG, a commonly used PET imaging agent in clinical practice) approved by the FDA is not a tumor-specific tracer and can be taken up by normal and some benign lesion tissues, resulting in false positive and false negative results; 18 The early detection rate of 18F-FDG in pancreatic cancer is only 68.8%, and the detection accuracy of metastatic lymph nodes is also poor. Currently, the 68 68Ga-FAPI can specifically bind to fibroblast activation protein (FAP) and has successfully imaged various tumors, and the detection sensitivity for primary and metastatic lesions is higher than that of 18 18F-FDG. Therefore, developing a radionuclide-labeled probe with tumor-specific targeting has great research value and clinical significance for the early and accurate diagnosis, grading and identification of tiny lesions of tumors, so as to ensure that patients can receive timely treatment.
[0006] Single-Photon emission tomography / computerized tomography (SPECT / CT) is a new type of nuclear medicine imaging technology developed in the past 20 years. Because of its advantages such as high sensitivity, high resolution, non-invasiveness, traceable microdose and good imaging effect, SPECT / CT has been widely used in clinical diagnosis. In the present invention, a polypeptide that can specifically bind to the CEACAM6 receptor is conjugated with a radionuclide to prepare a radionuclide imaging probe targeting the CEACAM6 receptor. This probe can target and identify tumor cells and tumor foci with high expression of the CEACAM6 receptor in vivo and in vitro, and has good application prospects in the early diagnosis and treatment of tumors.
[0007] Optical imaging technology has the advantages of being non-invasive, safe, having strong visualization ability, high spatial resolution, and low cost. It can perform real-time and multi-dimensional visualization monitoring on biomolecules, cells, tissues, and organisms, and is an important research method in the field of biomedicine. Fluorescence imaging has good application prospects in biomolecule detection imaging, drug distribution and metabolism tracking, disease detection and diagnosis, especially in image-guided cancer treatment, due to its high sensitivity, high resolution, and simple operation. Moreover, fluorescence imaging can make up for the defect that radioactive PET probes cannot clearly and accurately depict the tumor boundary, and is more suitable for guiding intraoperative negative margins. Tumor-targeted probes have become a research hotspot in the field of tumor diagnosis and treatment due to their advantages of high sensitivity, strong specificity, and low background signal. The near-infrared fluorescent dye MPA has the advantages of deeper penetration depth and weaker autofluorescence of background tissues, and is more suitable for in vivo imaging. However, MPA cannot specifically bind to tumor cells. In the present invention, a polypeptide that can specifically bind to the CEACAM6 receptor is conjugated with the near-infrared fluorescent dye MPA to prepare a near-infrared fluorescent imaging probe targeting the CEACAM6 receptor. This probe can target and recognize tumor cells and tumor foci with high expression of the CEACAM6 receptor in vivo and in vitro, and has good application prospects in fluorescence imaging and fluorescence-guided surgery.
[0008] Therefore, specific targeting ligands are the key to radionuclide imaging and fluorescence imaging. Summary of the Invention

[0037] The Iodogen oxidation method can be used to iodinate polypeptides containing tyrosine, histidine, and tryptophan residues. Since there is a histidine residue in the sequence of the polypeptide YQGR-X (X = 1-5), this method can be used for iodination. First, prepare Iodogen into a solid phase. Take 20 μL of the dichloromethane solution of Iodogen, and gently heat and blow dry with nitrogen to form a uniform Iodogen film on the EP tube. When performing the labeling, add a phosphate buffer solution (PH = 7.4) containing 5 μg of the peptide YQGR-X (X = 1-5) to the Iodogen EP tube, and then add 500 μCi of Na 125 I. After shaking the reaction at room temperature for 2 min, take out the reaction solution in the tube and dilute it with 50 μL of phosphate buffer solution (PH = 7.4). The radioactive mixture can be purified by passing through a C18 column to obtain the radioactive product 125 I-YQGR-X (X = 1-5). The radioactive labeled product is confirmed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) equipped with a radioactive detector.

After the reaction was completed, it was cooled to room temperature, diluted with distilled water, and then the pH was adjusted to about 5.3 to precipitate a solid. The solid was filtered and dried to obtain a pale yellow solid. The product was identified as 6-hydrazinonicotinic acid by ESI-MS mass spectrometry and 1H NMR.

[0042] Purified 2 molar equivalents of HYNIC-NHS and 1 molar equivalent of polypeptide YQGR-X (X = 1 - 5) were dissolved in DMSO, and then 3 molar equivalents of triethylamine were added. The mixture was reacted at room temperature for 6 h, and the reaction progress was monitored by analytical high performance liquid chromatography. After the reaction was completed, it was separated and purified by preparative liquid chromatography, and finally confirmed by mass spectrometry.

After the reaction was completed, it was cooled to room temperature to prepare a polypeptide radiopharmaceutical, and the product was analyzed and identified by an Agilent ZORBAX SB-Aq analytical column.
[0045] In some other preferred embodiments of the present invention, the present invention uses the radionuclide 68 Ga to label the polypeptide YQGR-X (X = 1 - 5) to obtain a radionuclide 68 Ga-labeled probe, and its preparation method includes the following steps:
[0046] (1) Synthesis of DOTA-YQGR-X (X = 1 - 5)

Place the reaction solution in a metal bath and stir at 40 °C for 6 h. Monitor the reaction by analytical liquid phase. After the reaction is completed, add 300 μL of trifluoroacetic acid to the reaction solution, stir and react for another 2 h, then rotary evaporate the solution to remove the solvent. Dilute the residue with water and acetonitrile, and purify it using an Agilent 1220 semi-preparative liquid phase.

Then rinse with 4 mL of 0.05 M HCl 68 Ge- 68 Ga generator, select 2 mL of eluate with the highest radioactivity in the middle for reaction. Add 20 mCi 68 Ga eluate into a vial, then add 0.5 mL of 0.25 M sodium acetate solution and 4 μL of DOTA-YQGR-X (X = 1 - 5) solution. Place the vial in a 100 °C water bath and heat react for 30 min. After the reaction is completed, cool to room temperature, then purify it using a C18 column (activated with 4 mL of 70% ethanol and 4 mL of normal saline), and measure the radioactivity of the sample loaded onto the column. Then rinse the C18 column 3 times with 1 mL of normal saline to remove the unlabeled 68 Ga. After the radioactivity of the C18 column is basically stable, rinse the C18 column with 0.2 mL of 60% ethanol to obtain the product. Measure the radioactivity with an activity meter and calculate the labeling yield. Use analytical liquid phase to detect the radiochemical purity (RCP).

[0079] Add a certain amount of Rink Amide MBHA resin to the reaction column, then add an appropriate amount of dichloromethane (DCM), gently blow nitrogen for 10 - 30 minutes to fully swell the resin. Drain the dichloromethane solution, and then wash it 3 times with dimethylformamide (DMF) and drain it
[0080] (2) Deprotection of Fmoc
[0081] Add a 20% solution of piperidine in DMF to the reaction column, deprotect once every 5 minutes and once every 8 minutes. After the reaction is completed, wash the resin 3 times with DMF, DCM, and DMF in sequence
[0082] (3) Coupling
[0083] Accurately weigh 3 times the molar amount of the feeding resin of Fmoc-Ser-OH and O-benzotriazole-tetramethylurea hexafluorophosphate (HBTU), completely dissolve them in DMF, add N,N-diisopropylethylamine (DIPEA) to activate the carboxyl group, then add the solution to the reaction column for reaction.

Take a small amount of resin and add one drop each of 6% ninhydrin / ethanol solution and 80% phenol / ethanol solution for detection. If the condensation is complete and there is no free amino group, the solution will be colorless or light yellow; otherwise, the resin or the solution will turn blue or reddish-brown, indicating that the reaction is incomplete. After the reaction is completed, wash it 3 times with DMF, DCM, and DMF in sequence.

Shake it at low temperature for 2 h, then separate the lysis solution from the resin using a sintered glass funnel and retain the filtrate. Slowly drip the filtrate into ice-cold anhydrous ether. After the dripping is complete, let it settle naturally for 30 min. Then centrifuge to obtain a solid, wash the solid three times with ether, and dry the obtained precipitate to get a crude dry powder.

[0127] Based on the principle of specific binding between the polypeptide YQGR-X (X = 1 - 5) and the CEACAM6 receptor, and taking advantage of the high expression of the CEACAM6 receptor in malignant tumors such as pancreatic cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, and colorectal cancer, as well as the deeper penetration depth and weaker autofluorescence of background tissues of the near-infrared fluorescent dye MPA, it can target and identify tumor cells and tumor foci with high expression of the CEACAM6 receptor, and has good application prospects in fluorescence imaging and fluorescence-guided surgery. At the same time, this series of polypeptides can also be conjugated with radionuclides, and the drug after in vivo radionuclide labeling can accumulate in the tumor site through the targeting effect of the polypeptide YQGR-X (X = 1 - 5). Using the single-photon (SPECT) and positron (PET) tomography imaging techniques of nuclear medicine, various tumors can be imaged and diagnosed. The present invention relates to the field of drugs related to tumor diagnosis, and specifically relates to multiple polypeptides, as well as pharmaceutical compositions containing these polypeptides as active ingredients and their applications in the preparation of diagnostic drugs.
