Pharm 2023; 15(10): 2451-2469. https: / / DOI 10.3390 / pharmaceutics15102451.), animal experiments showed that the inhibition rate of the two polypeptide sequences on human cervical cancer cells Hela was as high as 70%, and both could inhibit angiogenesis; Komatsu et al. synthesized a series of derivatives of cyclic peptide CHAP (Komatsu Y, Tomizaki K, Tsukamoto M, Kato T, Nishino NK, Sato SG, et al. Cyclic hydroxamic-acid-containing peptide 31, a potent synthetic histone deacetylase inhibitor with antitumor activity. CANCER RES 2021; 61(11): 4459-4466.), among which CHAP31 is the most active and stable compound, and nude mouse experiments showed that the polypeptide had obvious inhibitory effect on melanoma cells B16 / BL6; Laakkonen et al. obtained a nonapeptide LyP-1 by phage display technology peptide library (Laakkonen P, ME, Biliran H, Yang M, Ferrer F, Karpanen T, et al.

[0108] After 48 hours of experiment, 10 μL CCK-8 solution was added to each well, and the absorbance at 450 nm was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA);
[0109] Each group of data was repeated 5 times;
[0110] The inhibitory effect of polypeptides of different concentrations of three polypeptides (FRCP-1, FRCP-5, FRCP-6) on MCF-7, A549, HCT-116, Hela, HepG2, SGC-7901, MCF-10A and THLE-2 was analyzed, as follows:
[0111] (1) Normal cells: different concentrations of three polypeptides (FRCP-1, FRCP-5, FRCP-6) had no significant inhibitory effect on the proliferation of MCF-10A and THLE-2, and there was no significant difference compared with the NT group and the 0.1% DMSO group (all P>0.05), but the positive control group had a significant inhibitory effect on the proliferation of MCF-10A and THLE-2 (P<0.05);
[0112] (2) Tumor cells: Low concentrations of FRCP-1, FRCP-5, and FRCP-6 did not significantly inhibit the proliferation activity of all tumor cells at 48 h, but the inhibitory activity gradually increased with the increase of the concentration; when the concentration reached 45 μg / ml, the inhibitory activity was significantly enhanced, higher than that of the NT group and the 0.1% DMSO group (both P<0.05), and there was no significant difference in the inhibitory activity of the proliferation of all tumor cells between the low-concentration positive control group (100 μm, 1 mM) and the high-concentration positive control group (5 mM) (P>0.05), but lower than that of the high-concentration positive control group (5 mM) (P<0.05); there was no statistically significant difference compared with the NT group and the 0.1% DMSO group (P>0.05).
[0113] (3) FRCP-1, FRCP-5, and FRCP-6 showed different inhibitory activities on tumor cells MCF-7, A549, HCT-116, Hela, HepG2, and SGC-7901 within 48 hours; the inhibition rate of FRCP-1, FRCP-5, and FRCP-6 increased with the increase of the concentration, and there was no obvious inhibitory activity on normal cells MCF-10A and THLE-2 cells;
[0114] In summary, the experiments show that FRCP-1, FRCP-5, and FRCP-6 have inhibitory effects on various tumor cells and have no toxicity to normal cells. Therefore, FRCP-1, FRCP-5, and FRCP-6 can be applied in the research of anti-tumor drugs.
[0115] The experiment of the embodiment of the present application shows that:
[0116] The tumor cells MCF-7, A549, HCT-116, Hela, HepG2, and SGC-7901 and the normal cells MCF-10A and THLE-2 of the embodiment of the present application are all purchased from Shanghai Dongquan Biotechnology Co., Ltd.
[0117] The statistical analysis of the embodiment of the present application is performed by using GraphPad Prism 8 software (GraphPad Software Inc., California, USA), and Student's t test is used to compare the mean values of two groups of data to determine whether there is a significant difference between two independent samples;
[0118] One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) is used to compare the mean values of three groups or more data;
[0119] The mean value is represented by Log rank (Mante1-Cox), and SEM is an estimate of the standard deviation, which is used to describe the reliability of the sample mean;
[0120] Differences were considered statistically significant at p < 0.05.
