Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of biomedicine, and specifically relates to the application of liranabate in the preparation of anti-tumor metastasis drugs. Background Art

[0002] Malignant tumors are one of the most common causes of death worldwide. Although progress has been made in the treatment of malignant tumors in recent years, tumor metastasis is still the cause of death for more than 90% of cancer patients. In addition to infiltrating and growing at the primary site and affecting adjacent organs, malignant tumors can also break off from the primary tumor and invade lymphatic vessels, blood vessels, etc., spreading to other parts of the body to form distant metastatic lesions and metastatic tumors. This process is called tumor metastasis. Tumor metastasis involves a variety of complex mechanisms, such as epithelial-mesenchymal transition of tumor cells, occurrence of tumor stem cells, angiogenesis, resistance of tumor cells to anoikis, changes in cell adhesion molecules, etc. The basic manifestation of tumor metastasis is the enhancement of tumor cell adhesion, invasion and migration ability. Inhibiting the adhesion, invasion and migration of tumor cells can effectively inhibit tumor metastasis.

[0003] In recent years, the prevalence and mortality of malignant tumors have been increasing year by year. And because malignant tumors are prone to metastasis, clinical medication and surgical treatment are extremely difficult, so that more than 90% of malignant tumor patients die from tumor metastasis. At the same time, tumor metastasis can occur in the "early" state when the primary tumor is still very small. More and more evidence shows that when the primary tumor is still in a tiny state, tumor cells can already spread to distant sites. Therefore, inhibiting tumor metastasis has become a key link in the prevention and treatment of malignant tumors, and is also the focus of saving cancer patients.

[0004] However, although the FDA has approved more than 200 anti-tumor drugs of various types, most of them target primary tumors, directly kill primary tumor cells or inhibit the proliferation of primary tumors, and there is an urgent need for drugs that inhibit tumor metastasis. Therefore, for tumor treatment, providing a drug that can inhibit tumor metastasis has very important clinical practical significance.

[0005] In view of this, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the invention

[0029] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0030] Liranabate has the effect of significantly inhibiting the adhesion, invasion and migration of tumor cells in vitro, and can significantly inhibit the spread and growth of metastatic tumors other than primary tumors in vivo. When liranabate is used in combination with anti-tumor drugs, it does not affect the therapeutic effect of anti-tumor drugs on primary tumors while exerting anti-tumor metastasis effects. Therefore, it can be used to prepare drugs for anti-tumor metastasis, especially it can be used in combination with chemotherapy, targeted drugs, etc. to "take a two-pronged approach" to prepare anti-tumor drug combination drugs that target both primary tumors and metastatic tumors. In addition, liranabate is a drug that has been used clinically for many years, with good safety and low price. As mentioned above, more than 90% of malignant tumor patients die from distant metastasis, and anti-tumor metastasis drugs are urgently needed clinically. In summary, the anti-tumor metastasis drugs prepared by liranabate can provide treatment options for a large number of malignant tumor patients, with high potential commercial value and attractive application prospects.

[0081] Example 9 Effect of lanabetate on experimental lung metastasis in a mouse model of syngeneic transplantation of breast cancer 4T1 cells

[0082] 1. Establishment of 4T1 cell mouse breast cancer lung metastasis model

[0083] The artificial lung metastasis model of mouse malignant breast cancer 4T1 cells with luciference marker was selected for this example. After Balb / c mice (18 g ± 2 g) were adapted to the environment for one week, tumor inoculation experiments were performed. 4T1-LUC cells were digested with trypsin and the single cell suspension concentration was adjusted to 5×10 6 / mL, the cells were inoculated in a volume of 0.1 mL on the mammary pad of the second nipple on the right side of Balb / c mice, with an inoculum of 5×10 5 After 3 days, the in situ tumor formation of mice was observed, and mice without tumor formation were eliminated and divided into groups for drug administration.

[0084] 2. Experimental Grouping and Drug Administration

[0085] The successfully inoculated mice were randomly divided into the model group, LNT low-dose group (10 mg / kg), LNT medium-dose group (25 mg / kg), and LNT high-dose group (50 mg / kg), with 10 mice in each group. The specific dosage regimen was 0.2 mL / mouse / day for a total of 28 days, and the control group was given lysozyme saline. The weight of the mice and the size of the tumor were weighed and recorded every two days during the administration period.

[0086] 3. Bioluminescence imaging

[0087] The day after the end of the administration, mice were intraperitoneally injected (150 mg / kg) with 30 mg / mL D-luciferin (Biyuntian) in PBS. Bioluminescence was detected in automatic exposure mode. The bioluminescence signal was analyzed using Living Image 4.4 software (Perkin Elmer).

[0088] 4. Animal killing, sampling and sample processing

[0089] After the experiment, the mice were killed by cervical dislocation. The lung tissues of the mice were obtained after dissection and fixed and stained in Bunn's staining solution. The lung tissues were observed under a dissecting microscope and the number of metastatic nodules in the lungs was recorded. After taking pictures, the tissues were fixed in 4% PFA fixative.

[0090] 5. Histopathological examination

[0091] The lung tissues were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde, embedded in paraffin, cut into 4 μm thick sections, stained with H&E, observed under a light microscope, photographed, and analyzed.

[0092] 6. Experimental results

[0093] 1) Liranabate significantly improved the survival rate of mice

[0094] To evaluate the effect of liranabate on lung metastasis of breast cancer in mice, a highly metastatic breast cancer model of Balb / c mice was established. Figure 6 A. From the bioimaging results, it can be seen that compared with the model group, the fluorescence value of mice in the liranabactate-treated group was significantly reduced. Figure 6 B shows the weight changes of mice after tumor inoculation and drug administration. There were no significant differences among the four groups. Figure 6 C is the survival rate of mice during the experiment;

[0095] The results showed that mice began to die on the 19th day after tumor inoculation, and the survival rate of mice in the model group was 70% by the end of the experiment. After treatment with different doses of liranabate, the survival rate of mice was significantly improved. Among them, the survival rate of mice in the medium and high dose groups was 90%, which was significantly different from that in the model group. Liranabate significantly increased the survival rate of tumor-bearing mice.

[0096] 2) Liranabate inhibits lung metastasis of breast cancer in mice

[0097] In order to more accurately evaluate the inhibitory effect of liranabate on lung metastasis of mouse breast cancer, the lungs of each group of mice were stained with Bouin's staining and H&E staining. Figure 7 shown.

[0098] Figure 7A and 7C show that the model group mice had obvious lung metastasis nodules in their lungs, while the number of lung metastasis nodules, nodule volume, and metastasis rate of mice given liranabate were significantly reduced. Figure 7 As shown in B, in addition to normal lung cells, there are a large number of cancer cells in the lungs of mice in the model group, and a large number of metastatic tumors are formed. There are only a small number of cancer cells and metastatic tumors in the lungs of mice in the low-dose and medium-dose liranabate groups. In particular, in the high-dose liranabate group, there are almost no obvious metastatic tumors visible to the naked eye, and only a small number of cancer cell metastases occur. The H&E results are consistent with the nodules visible to the naked eye in the aforementioned Bunn's staining results.

[0099] The above results indicate that liranabactate has a significant inhibitory effect on lung metastasis of breast cancer in mice.

[0100] The above specific implementations have been described in detail for the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the knowledge of ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention. In addition, the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.
