Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of photoaffinity probes, and in particular to a photoaffinity probe targeting cyclin-dependent kinase 9, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are a class of serine / threonine protein kinases that are crucial factors in cell cycle regulation, acting synergistically with cyclins (Genome Biology 2014, 15, 122-131). The human genome encodes over 20 CDKs and over 30 cyclins. Among them, CDK9 (cyclin-dependent kinase 9) and its related cyclin T are core molecules involved in transcriptional regulation and RNA processing. CDK9 is the catalytic subunit of the positive transcription elongation factor P-TEFb. When negative transcription elongation factors (NELF and N-TEFs) negatively regulate cellular transcription, positive P-TEFb participates in the transcription elongation inhibition system of NELF and N-TEFs, disengaging the negative elongation factors and allowing transcription to continue. Therefore, by inhibiting CDK9, transcription can be blocked, leading to apoptosis of tumor cells (Nat. Rev. Cancer 2013, 13, 299-314). Therefore, the development of CDK9 inhibitors has become one of the most important targets for the industry to expand the scope of CDK family inhibitors.

[0003] Activity-based protein profiling (ABPP) is an emerging technology platform for systematically identifying proteins with specific functions in complex biological systems. It has been widely applied in protein functional analysis, identification of active small molecule target proteins, and screening for small molecule inhibitors. The core of ABPP technology lies in the use of chemical probes to label functionally active proteins in the proteome (Chem. Soc. Rev. 2010, 39, 1302). Chemical probes primarily consist of an "active group" that selectively binds to specific proteins and a "bioorthogonal group" that can be attached to biotin or fluorescent groups using "click chemistry." Active molecular probes that bind non-covalently incorporate photocrosslinking groups. UV irradiation generates free radicals that crosslink with nearby amino acids, achieving covalent labeling of the probe with the target protein. When applying ABPP to the screening and optimization of small molecule compounds targeting proteins, the binding ability of the small molecule to the target can be determined by competitively blocking the chemical probe's signal, which changes the labeling signal.

[0004] Compared with traditional enzyme activity determination methods, screening methods based on active molecular probes have the following advantages: (1) Traditional enzyme activity experiments require the purification of target proteins and cannot be directly labeled in the proteome; (2) Enzyme activity experiments need to detect the conversion of substrate molecules to product molecules based on the specific catalytic function of the target protein. ABPP is based on the labeling of enzyme activity centers by active molecular probes and can be performed without knowing the substrates and products of the target protein; (3) Traditional enzyme activity experiments can only screen a single target protein, and thus cannot guarantee the specificity of the small molecules screened. Active molecular probes can be studied in the proteome, so the potency and specificity of the inhibitor can be monitored simultaneously through the labeling results, helping to optimize the acquisition of small molecule compounds with strong inhibitory potency and high specificity.

[0005] Therefore, we designed and synthesized a photoaffinity-active chemical probe targeting CDK9 and verified its target CDK9, providing a new means for the screening of CDK9 inhibitors and the identification of CDK9 target proteins. Summary of the Invention

[0154] Example 5 In-gel fluorescence analysis experiment of a photoaffinity probe targeting cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (hereinafter referred to as CDK9 Probe)

[0155] The in-gel fluorescence analysis experiment based on the photoaffinity probe targeting cyclin-dependent kinase 9 includes the following steps:

[0156] HCC1806 cells (i.e., human breast squamous cell carcinoma cells) were cultured in 6 cm culture dishes until the density reached more than 85% (cell number 1.2×10 6 , 24 hours later, the number of cells was about 2×10 6 ), the culture medium was aspirated, and the cells were washed twice with 5 mL PBS and once with serum-free culture medium.

[0157] 2 mL of serum-free culture medium containing different concentrations (0-25 μM, specifically 0 μM, 0.1 μM, 1 μM, 5 μM, 10 μM, 25 μM) of CDK9 Probe was added to the cells, and the cells were placed in a cell culture incubator and incubated for 1 hour. Then, the cell culture dish was placed on ice, the culture dish lid was removed, and the cells were irradiated with 365 nm ultraviolet light under a UV crosslinker. During irradiation, the cell surface was 5-10 cm away from the lamp tube and irradiated for 15 minutes.

[0158] After irradiation, the cells were gently scraped off with a cell scraper and collected into a 1.5 ml centrifuge tube, and then washed twice with cold PBS.

[0159] The mixture was centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 3 minutes at 4°C, and the upper PBS buffer was removed. Cell lysis buffer [the cell lysis buffer includes PBS (ThermoFisher Scientific), 1% IGEPAL-CA-630 (Sigma-Aldrich), 0.2% SDS (Sigma-Aldrich), 1% EDTA-free protease inhibitor mixture (Sigma-Aldrich), 0.1% Benzonase (Beyotime)] was added to the cells. After ultrasonic disruption, the cells were centrifuged at 20000 r / min at 4°C using a desktop centrifuge for 30 minutes.

[0160] After centrifugation, the supernatant was collected and the protein solution concentration was determined on a microplate reader using the BCA protein assay. The protein solution concentration was adjusted to 2 mg / mL with cell lysis buffer. Then, 50 μL of the protein solution was added with a final concentration of 200 μM fluorescein azide (such as rhodamine azide), 2.5 mM sodium ascorbate (Sigma-Aldrich), 25 mM BTTAA (Confluore), and 12.5 mM CuSO4 (Innochem) at room temperature and reacted for 1 hour.

[0161] After the reaction, the samples were separated by SDS-PAGE and electrophoresed at 150 V for about 1 hour. The gel was scanned using ChemiDoc imaging to display fluorescent bands, and then the gel was stained with Coomassie blue.

[0162] The results of in-gel fluorescence analysis of photoaffinity probe targeting cyclin-dependent kinase 9 are as follows Figure 3 shown.

[0163] Depend on Figure 3From the rhodamine fluorescence signal, it can be seen that significant fluorescent bands appeared at 35kDa and 42kDa, and the fluorescent labels at other places were relatively weak. Combined with the literature data (Nat. Commun. 2019, 10, 1832), it is speculated that the fluorescent band at 35kDa is the off-target protein VDAC2 (voltage-dependent anion channel protein 2) of the photoaffinity group. The fluorescent band appearing at 42kDa is consistent with the molecular weight of CDK9. At the same time, from Figure 3 The fluorescence signal intensity at 42 kDa on the gel image was quantitatively analyzed. When the concentration of CDK9 Probe was 25 μM, the signal intensity value of the band at 42 kDa was set to 1.00; when the concentration of CDK9 Probe was 0 or 0.1 μM, the quantitative value of the signal intensity of the band at 42 kDa was 0; when the concentration of CDK9 Probe was 1 μM, the quantitative value of the signal intensity of the band at 42 kDa was 0.06; when the concentration of CDK9 Probe was 5 μM, the quantitative value of the signal intensity of the band at 42 kDa was 0.19; when the concentration of CDK9 Probe was 10 μM, the quantitative value of the signal intensity of the band at 42 kDa was 0.26. Therefore, a concentration of 25 μM CDK9 Probe was used to verify the direct binding of CDK9 Probe to CDK9.

[0164] Depend on Figure 3 As can be seen from the Coomassie Brilliant Blue signal, which reflects the total proteome content, the software's quantification tool was used to analyze the three relatively independent bands at corresponding positions in each lane and calculate the average fluorescence signal intensity of these bands. The average fluorescence signal intensity was set to 1.00 when the CDK9 probe concentration was 25 μM; when the CDK9 probe concentration was 0 μM, the fluorescence signal intensity was 0.92; when the CDK9 probe concentration was 0.1 μM, the fluorescence signal intensity was 0.86; when the CDK9 probe concentration was 1 μM, the fluorescence signal intensity was 0.95; when the CDK9 probe concentration was 5 μM, the fluorescence signal intensity was 0.94; and when the CDK9 probe concentration was 10 μM, the fluorescence signal intensity was 0.86. The above data reflect that the sample loading amount in each lane was basically consistent.

[0165] Example 6 Verification of the Target of CDK9 Probe Based on Western Blot

[0166] Western Blot analysis was used to verify the target of CDK9 Probe, including the following steps:

[0167] HCC1806 cells were cultured in 15 cm culture dishes to a density of more than 85% (2 × 10 7 The culture time was 24 hours and the number of cells was about 3×10 7 ), the culture medium was aspirated, and the cells were washed twice with 15 mL PBS and once with serum-free culture medium.

[0168] Then, 15 mL of serum-free culture medium containing CDK9 Probe at a concentration of 25 μM was added to the cells, and the cells were placed in a cell culture incubator and incubated for 1 hour. After that, the cell culture dish was placed on ice, the culture dish cover was removed, and the cells were irradiated with 365 nm ultraviolet light under a UV crosslinker. During irradiation, the cell surface was 5-10 cm away from the lamp tube, and the irradiation time was 15 minutes.

[0169] After irradiation, the cells were gently scraped off with a cell scraper and collected into a 1.5 ml centrifuge tube, and then washed twice with cold PBS.

[0170] After centrifugation at 3000 rpm at 4°C for 3 minutes, the upper PBS layer was removed and the resulting cells were added to a cell lysis buffer [cell lysis buffer comprising PBS (ThermoFisher Scientific), 1% IGEPAL-CA-630 (Sigma-Aldrich), 0.2% SDS (Sigma-Aldrich), 1% EDTA-free protease inhibitor mixture (Sigma-Aldrich), and 0.1% Benzonase (Beyotime)], and then ultrasonically disrupted and high-speed centrifuged at 20,000 rpm in a 4°C tabletop centrifuge for 30 minutes.

[0171] After centrifugation, the supernatant was collected and the protein concentration was determined on a microplate reader using the BCA protein assay method. The protein concentration was then adjusted to 2 mg / mL using cell lysis buffer.

[0172] Take 500 μL of protein solution and add biotin azide, 200 μM biotin, 2.5 mM sodium ascorbate (Sigma-Aldrich), 25 mM BTTAA (CONFLUORE) and 12.5 mM CuSO4 (Innochem) at room temperature to a final concentration of 200 μM. The reaction was carried out for 1 hour. After the reaction, the protein solution was transferred to a 15 mL centrifuge tube and 4 volumes of methanol were added in sequence. Vortex and mix thoroughly, 1 volume of chloroform was added, vortex and mix thoroughly, and 3 volumes of water were added in sequence. Vortex and mix thoroughly. Centrifuge at 3000 rpm for 10 minutes at 4°C to retain the protein precipitate (the protein precipitate is in the form of discs).

[0173] Add 1 mL of pre-chilled methanol to the protein precipitate. Disintegrate the precipitate by vortexing or sonicating (for approximately 5 seconds). Transfer the precipitate to a 1.5 mL centrifuge tube and centrifuge at 3000 rpm for 3 minutes at 4°C. Remove the supernatant and retain the protein precipitate. Repeat this step once. Finally, air-dry the protein precipitate for 2 minutes to completely remove the methanol.

[0174] The protein precipitate was resuspended in 3 mL of 0.05% SDS / PBS, and 200 μL of streptavidin-coupled magnetic beads (ThermoFisher Scientific) were added and incubated with rotation at room temperature for 3 h. After enrichment, the proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE and transferred to nitrocellulose (NC) membrane.

[0175] After transfer, the NC membrane was soaked in Ponceau staining solution and the Ponceau signal was read. The NC membrane was then incubated in 10 mL of 5% BSA / TBST at room temperature for 1 hour. The membrane was then incubated with the target protein, CDK9 Polyclonal Antibody (Proteintech), overnight at 4°C. Finally, the membrane was incubated with a secondary antibody (Alexa Fluor 488-labeled Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG, Beyotime) for 1 hour. The secondary antibody fluorescence signal was scanned using ChemiDoc imaging.

[0176] It can be seen that in this embodiment, the protein is labeled with the active molecular probe CDK9 Probe in living cells (i.e., HCC1806 cells), and then the biotin reporter group is coupled through a bioorthogonal reaction, and then the labeled protein is enriched using streptavidin magnetic beads. Proteins of different molecular weights are separated by SDS-PAGE and then transferred to the solid phase carrier NC membrane, and incubated with the target protein CDK9 antibody and the corresponding secondary antibody with fluorescein, and the binding of CDK9 Probe to the target is reflected by the fluorescent bands. During the experiment, we also set up DMSO-treated cells as a blank control to reduce false positive results. The verification results of the target of CDK9 Probe based on protein immunoblotting are as follows. Figure 4 shown.

[0177] Figure 4 The Ponceau red signal reflects the total protein content on the nitrocellulose membrane after transfer; Figure 4 The AlexaFluor 488 signal is the signal after the CDK9 Probe labeled protein is enriched and incubated with CDK9 antibody and the corresponding secondary antibody with fluorescein. There is a clear band near 42kDa. It can be seen that the target protein CDK9 appears in the band of the experimental group treated with CDK9 Probe, which proves that CDK9 Probe can successfully label CDK9. It should be noted that Figure 4 Input and eluate represent the total protein sample and magnetic bead eluted protein sample, respectively.

[0178] The photoaffinity probe targeting cyclin-dependent kinase 9 provided in the present application includes an active group, a photocrosslinking group and a bioorthogonal group.

[0179] Among them, the CDK9 inhibitor structure serves as an active group, which enables the photoaffinity probe molecule to enter the active center of the CDK9 target protein so as to use the photocrosslinking group to carry out subsequent photoaffinity reaction.

[0180] The photocrosslinking group, namely the diazirine structure, can generate free radicals under the excitation of ultraviolet light, which undergo insertion crosslinking reactions with its adjacent CH or CC bonds, thereby covalently capturing the CDK9 target protein. The diazirine structure is small in size, avoiding the shortcomings of the photoaffinity probe molecule, such as poor solubility and poor cell permeability.

[0181] The bioorthogonal group, i.e., the alkyne group, can be used for subsequent coupling with biotin or fluorescein to separate and enrich proteins labeled with photoaffinity probes or perform fluorescence imaging, thereby identifying the signal labeled by the photoaffinity probes;

[0182] Based on the above, the photoaffinity probe targeting cyclin-dependent kinase 9 provided in the present application can be used in screening CDK9 inhibitors and identifying CDK9 target proteins.

[0183] The method for preparing a photoaffinity probe targeting cyclin-dependent kinase 9 provided in the present application has mild reaction conditions and a simple process, and can quickly prepare a photoaffinity probe targeting cyclin-dependent kinase 9.

[0184] This application designs and synthesizes a photoaffinity probe targeting CDK9 based on a CDK9 inhibitor, and verifies the protein binding of the CDK9 probe using fluorescent gel and Western blot. The CDK9 probe in this application can not only label the CDK9 protein but also be specifically linked to an active molecular probe with a corresponding reporter group according to subsequent experimental methods. More importantly, it expands its applications in functional analysis of the CDK9 protein and screening of small molecule inhibitors.

[0185] For ease of explanation, the above description has been made in conjunction with specific embodiments. However, the above discussion of some embodiments is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the embodiments to the specific forms disclosed above. Based on the above teachings, various modifications and variations can be obtained.
