Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of medicine, and in particular, to the use of compounds and combined drugs in the preparation of anti-tumor drugs. Background Art
[0002] Cancer (malignant tumor) has become the most serious disease threatening human health and life. According to a report by the United Nations International Cancer Research Center, by 2030, up to 13.2 million people will die of cancer each year worldwide. Drug therapy is a very important part of cancer treatment, and effective anti-cancer drugs can help patients survive longer. Targeted anti-cancer drugs are developed for tumor genes. They can recognize characteristic sites in tumor cells that are determined by genes specific to tumor cells, and by binding to them (or other similar mechanisms), block the signal transduction pathways in tumor cells that control cell growth and proliferation, thereby killing tumor cells and preventing their proliferation.
[0003] RAS is the first human tumor gene discovered. KRAS belongs to the RAS gene family, in addition to NRAS and HRAS. The full name of the KRAS gene is Kirsten rats arcomaviral oncogene homolog, which is translated into Chinese as Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog. It is one of the most common oncogenes in solid tumors. About one in seven cancer patients carry KRAS mutation genes, including about 90% of pancreatic cancer, 40% of colorectal cancer and 30% of non-small cell lung cancer. The KRAS gene is like a "switch" in the body. It plays an important regulatory role in the signal transduction pathway of tumor cell growth and angiogenesis. The normal KRAS gene can inhibit tumor cell growth, but once it mutates, it will continue to stimulate cell growth, disrupt the growth pattern, and thus lead to the occurrence of tumors. Although KRAS is one of the first human proto-oncogenes discovered, it has been considered an undruggable target in the past.
[0004] The proto-oncogene c-myc is an important member of the myc family, which encodes phosphorylated proteins in the cell nucleus. The c-myc gene plays an important role in maintaining normal cell function and is involved in cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. c-myc is closely related to human tumors and is found in various tumors in many tumor tissues, such as lung cancer, gastric cancer, breast cancer, colon cancer, cervical cancer, certain neuroblastomas, granulocytic leukemia, retinoblastoma, osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, chordoma, liposarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, Hodgkin's disease and head tumors. There is amplification or overexpression of the c-myc gene, and abnormalities of the proto-oncogene c-myc and its protein expression products can be detected. c-myc has many characteristics that promote the occurrence and development of tumors. For example, overexpression of c-myc can lead to an acceleration of the rate at which cells enter the S phase from the G1 phase and abnormalities in the cell cycle; it can enhance the utilization and absorption of nutrients by tumor cells and reduce the apoptosis process, thereby enhancing the cell's reproductive capacity; c-myc is also involved in a variety of signal transduction pathways, such as Wnt, Hippo and PI3K / AKT / mTOR, etc., through which it regulates physiological functions such as cell proliferation and differentiation, thereby affecting the occurrence and development of tumors.
[0005] Currently, drugs that target KRAS and c-myc genes to treat tumors remain to be studied. Summary of the invention

[0126] Example 3 In vitro cell verification of immunogenic death caused by compound I
[0127] The immunogenic death induced by compound I on 4T1 tumor cells was verified by detecting the surface expression of calreticulin (CRT) and the release of high mobility group protein 1 (HMGB1).
[0128] 1. Calreticulin
[0129] 4T1 cells were cultured at 1×10 6The cells were inoculated into the confocal dish at a density of 100 / well and placed in a cell culture incubator for overnight culture. The original culture medium was then poured out and divided into two groups of experiments, with culture medium containing PBS and culture medium containing compound I (0.2 μg / mL) added respectively and continued to be cultured for 24 hours. After the incubation, the culture medium containing different materials was discarded and the cells were washed 3 times with PBS. Subsequently, the cells were fixed at room temperature for 7 minutes with the prepared cell fixative and incubated with a PBS solution containing 0.2% Triton X-100 for 5 minutes to permeabilize the cells. After washing the cells 3 times with PBS, the cells were incubated at room temperature for 30 minutes with the prepared cell immunofluorescence blocking solution to reduce the nonspecific binding of the antibody. While blocking, the calreticulin rabbit monoclonal antibody was diluted with a cell immunofluorescence antibody diluent at a volume ratio of 1:1000, and the Alexa Fluor 647-labeled goat anti-rabbit secondary antibody was diluted at a volume ratio of 1:500. After the blocking was completed, the prepared primary antibody solution was added to the confocal dish and incubated overnight at 4°C. The next day, the primary antibody solution in the confocal dish was aspirated, the cells were washed 3 times with PBS, and the diluted secondary antibody solution was added, and incubated at room temperature in the dark for 1 hour. Finally, Hoechst33342 was added and incubated at room temperature for 5 minutes, and then observed under a laser confocal microscope. The excitation wavelength selected for the Hoechst 33342 channel was 405nm, and the excitation wavelength selected for the calreticulin channel was 635nm.
[0130] For flow cytometric analysis of cell surface CRT, 4T1 cells were plated at 1 × 10 6 The cells were inoculated into 6-well plates at a density of 100 / well and placed in a cell culture incubator for overnight culture. The next day, a culture medium containing PBS and compound I (0.2 μg / mL) was added to the 6-well plate and cultured for 24 hours. Subsequently, the culture medium containing the material was discarded, the cells were washed with PBS, and 200 μL of trypsin was added to digest the cells, transferred to a 1.5 mL centrifuge tube, and the supernatant was removed by centrifugation to obtain a cell pellet. While centrifuging, the CRT rabbit monoclonal antibody was diluted at a ratio of 1:100 with the prepared flow cytometry antibody diluent, and the Alexa Fluor 647-labeled goat anti-rabbit secondary antibody was diluted at a ratio of 1:200. After centrifugation, the diluted CRT antibody was added and incubated at 4°C for 30 minutes. After washing with PBS, the diluted secondary antibody was added and incubated at 4°C for 30 minutes. Finally, the cells were washed with PBS and placed in an Agilent NovoCyte flow cytometer for analysis.

[0132] The release of high mobility group protein 1 (HMGB1) was measured using an ELISA kit from Wuhan Eliorite Co., Ltd. In addition to the control group and the experimental group, a standard curve was also required during the test.
[0133] The specific operations are as follows:
[0134] 4T1 cells were cultured at 1×10 6 The cells were inoculated into 6-well plates at a density of 100 cells / well and placed in a cell culture incubator for overnight culture. The next day, the experiment was divided into two groups. The culture medium containing PBS and the culture medium containing compound I (0.2 μg / mL) were added to the 6-well plates and cultured for 24 hours. Subsequently, the cell supernatant was collected and the released HMGB1 was quantitatively analyzed according to the operating instructions of the ELISA kit.
[0135] The experimental results of Example 3 are as follows Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 A is the laser confocal imaging of calreticulin (CRT), and the expression of calreticulin was significantly enhanced after adding compound I compared with the PBS group; Figure B is the flow cytometry detection result of calreticulin, and the expression of calreticulin in the group adding compound I was significantly enhanced compared with the PBS group; Figure C is the detection result of high mobility group protein 1 (HMGB1), and the expression of compound I group was significantly enhanced compared with the PBS group. This shows that compound I can upregulate the expression of calreticulin and high mobility group protein 1 in solid tumors, activate immunogenic cell death (ICD), and improve the anti-tumor effect.

After the electrophoresis, the proteins in the SDS-PAGE were transferred to the PVDF membrane through the membrane transfer process. After the transfer, the PVDF membrane was removed and placed in an antibody incubation box, and the freshly prepared WB blocking solution was poured in, and incubated on a shaker at 4°C overnight. The next day, the membrane was washed at least 3 times with the prepared TBST solution, and the interferon regulatory factor 3 (p-IRF3) monoclonal antibody and p-STING monoclonal antibody were diluted at a ratio of 1:1000 with the freshly prepared WB antibody diluent, and the internal reference protein GAPDH antibody was diluted at a ratio of 1:5000.

[0141] Figure 4 A shows the immunofluorescence staining of p-STING protein observed under a laser confocal microscope. The fluorescence of the group with compound I was significantly stronger than that of the control group. Figure 4 B shows WB fluorescence imaging, and the fluorescence of p-IRF3 antibody and p-STING antibody in the group with compound I was stronger than that in the PBS control group.
