Abstract

The invention relates to the field of malignant melanoma treatment, and discloses application of hnRNP A1 and a composition for treating drug-resistant melanoma. The research finds that the mRNA and protein levels of the hnRNP A1 are reduced, so that the treatment of vimofenib generates drug resistance, and meanwhile, the capability of killing melanoma cells by T cells can be weakened. And the hnRNP A1 is over-expressed in a vimofenib drug-resistant A375-VR cell line and a cytotoxic T cell drug-resistant A375-TR cell line, so that the drug resistance to vimofenib can be reduced, and the tolerance to CD8 + T cell cytotoxicity can be reduced. In addition, experiments prove that patients with low hnRNP A1 expression are related to EFS shortening. The results show that the hnRNP A1 has a key effect in the aspect of mediating a multi-effect drug resistance mechanism of the melanoma, and a new theoretical basis can be provided for analysis, detection and treatment of the drug-resistant melanoma.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of malignant melanoma treatment, and in particular to the application of hnRNP A1 and a composition for treating drug-resistant melanoma. Background Art

[0002] Malignant melanoma is a highly malignant tumor that is prone to lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis, with a high mortality rate, accounting for 75% of all skin malignancies. In addition to the skin, malignant melanoma can also occur in mucosa (including colorectal mucosa, nasal mucosa, etc.), extremities, uveal tract, etc.

[0003] The MAPK pathway plays an important role in malignant melanoma. It is mainly composed of RAS / RAF / MEK / ERK, which can transmit extracellular signals, including hormones, cytokines, growth factors, etc., to the cell nucleus, thereby changing cell gene expression to regulate cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. Since the discovery of BRAF mutation in 2002, dozens of mutation types have been detected. 95% of mutations are caused by a missense mutation in exon 15, that is, the thymine at the 1799th nucleotide mutates to adenosine (T>A), which leads to a mutation at the protein level, with valine (V) replacing glutamic acid (E) at amino acid 600. This mutation is called BRAF V600E. The BRAF V600E mutation increases the activity of BRAF by 500 times, resulting in increased activity of downstream MEK and ERK, thereby activating the entire MAPK pathway.

[0004] BRAF inhibitors developed for BRAF V600E mutation have achieved good efficacy in malignant melanoma and are widely used in clinical practice. Typical representative drugs include vemurafenib, dabrafenib, and encorfenib, among which vemurafenib was the first to be used in clinical practice. The BRIM-3 clinical study compared the efficacy of vemurafenib and dacarbazine. At 6 months of treatment, the overall survival rate of the vemurafenib group was 84%, and the overall survival rate of the dacarbazine group was 64%. The remission rate of vemurafenib was 48%, and that of dacarbazine was 5%. Based on the good trial results of BRIM-3, vemurafenib was approved by the US FDA in August 2011 for the treatment of BRAF V600E mutation-positive malignant melanoma.

[0005] However, most patients will develop resistance to BRAF inhibitors, including vemurafenib, within one year of taking the drugs. Even combined use of MEK inhibitors can only delay the onset of resistance, but cannot avoid the onset of resistance. There is currently no recognized biomarker that can predict the efficacy of targeted therapy. In addition, vemurafenib and other BRAF inhibitors have some common resistance mechanisms when used alone or in combination with MEK inhibitors. Understanding these resistance mechanisms is of great significance for overcoming the resistance to BRAF inhibitors and improving the prognosis of melanoma patients. How to overcome the resistance of malignant melanoma to the BRAF inhibitor vemurafenib has become a major research hotspot.

[0006] In addition to targeted therapy, immunotherapy has also become one of the main treatment methods for patients with malignant melanoma. The KEYNOTE001 trial is the earliest clinical trial of pembrolizumab in patients with malignant melanoma. According to the latest follow-up results, among 655 advanced patients, the OS of all patients and first-line patients were 23.8 months and 38.6 months, respectively, and the median PFS was 8.3 months and 16.9 months, respectively. In the KEYNOTE054 trial comparing the efficacy of pembrolizumab and placebo, compared with placebo treatment, at a median follow-up of 42.3 months, the 3.5-year metastasis-free survival rate of the pembrolizumab treatment group was 65.3%, and that of the placebo group was 49.4%, which was statistically significant.

[0007] However, there are still some patients with malignant melanoma who cannot benefit from immunotherapy, or whose disease progresses in the early stages of treatment and who develop resistance to immunotherapy. Currently, there is no unified, recognized biomarker to predict the efficacy of immunotherapy, so it is impossible to predict which patients will benefit from immunotherapy before immunotherapy. In addition, finding the mechanism of resistance to immunotherapy in malignant melanoma is also important for improving the prognosis of patients with malignant melanoma. Summary of the invention

[0008] In view of this, the purpose of the present application is to provide an application of hnRNP A1, by targeting hnRNP A1, revealing the key pleiotropic effects of related research in regulating the resistance of melanoma cells to BRAF inhibitors (such as vemurafenib) and T cell-mediated cytotoxicity, thereby providing new related drugs for the treatment of drug-resistant melanoma.

[0009] In order to achieve the above object or partially achieve the above object, as a first aspect of the present application, a use of hnRNPA1 as a target in the preparation of a drug for treating drug-resistant melanoma is provided.

[0010] Optionally, the drug-resistant melanoma includes a melanoma resistant to vemurafenib and / or a melanoma resistant to T cell killing.

[0011] Further optionally, the drug-resistant melanoma includes a melanoma having a BRAF V600E mutation.

[0012] Optionally, the drug for treating drug-resistant melanoma includes targeted drugs and immune preparations.

[0013] As a second aspect of the present application, a method for preparing a drug for treating drug-resistant melanoma is provided, wherein hnRNP A1 is used as a target, melanoma cells with hnRNP A1 knocked out or knocked down are artificially designed in vitro, and the melanoma cells are used as experimental subjects to screen and / or design drugs that can increase the expression level of hnRNP A1.

[0014] As a third aspect of the present application, provided is the use of any one or more of a drug for promoting the expression of hnRNP A1 and a vector for overexpressing hnRNP A1 in the preparation of a drug for treating drug-resistant melanoma.

[0015] As a fourth aspect of the present application, a composition for combined treatment of drug-resistant melanoma is provided, comprising any one or more components of a drug that promotes the expression of hnRNP A1, a vector that overexpresses hnRNP A1, and any one or more components selected from miR-18a mimics, a drug that promotes the expression of miR-18a, a BRAF inhibitor, a MEK inhibitor, an AJUBA inhibitor, a YAP inhibitor, a THBS1 inhibitor, and a CD47 inhibitor.

[0016] Optionally, the inhibitor includes siRNA that reduces the expression level of AJUBA, YAP, THBS1, and CD47, or includes a drug that reduces the activity of AJUBA, YAP, THBS1, and CD47.

[0017] Optionally, the BRAF inhibitor includes vemurafenib, and the MEK inhibitor includes trametinib.

[0018] As a fifth aspect of the present application, provided is the use of a reagent for detecting a biomarker in the preparation of a product for predicting the efficacy of targeted therapy and immunotherapy for malignant melanoma, wherein the biomarker includes hnRNP A1.

[0019] This study found that hnRNP A1 的 Reduced mRNA and protein levels lead to resistance to vemurafenib treatment and also impair the ability of T cells to kill melanoma cells. Overexpression of hnRNP A1 in vemurafenib-resistant A375-VR and cytotoxic T cell-resistant A375-TR cell lines alleviated resistance to vemurafenib and reduced CD8+ Tolerance to T cell cytotoxicity. In addition, the experiments in this application have shown that patients with low hnRNP A1 expression are associated with shortened EFS. The above results indicate that hnRNP A1 plays a key role in mediating the pleiotropic drug resistance mechanism of melanoma, and can provide a new theoretical basis for the analysis, detection and treatment of drug-resistant melanoma.

[0029] Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A1 (hnRNPA1) is a member of the heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) family. It is an RNA-binding protein that can bind to mRNA to form a complex, thereby participating in the regulation of mRNA splicing, transcription, translation and other processes, and plays a role in development, cancer, neurodegenerative diseases and other processes. hnRNPA1 is mainly located in the cell nucleus and contains two regions, namely the N-terminus that can interact with RNA and the C-terminus that can bind to RNA. The C-terminus is rich in glycine residues and contains an RNA motif and a nuclear targeting sequence. This nuclear targeting sequence is called M9, which allows hnRNPA1 to shuttle back and forth between the nucleus and the cytoplasm.

[0030] hnRNPA1 has multiple functions in both DNA and RNA metabolism, including affecting transcription, participating in mRNA splicing, nucleocytoplasmic shuttling, and microRNA biosynthesis. The role of hnRNPA1 in tumors is still controversial. Some studies have shown that hnRNPA1 can promote tumor metastasis, while other studies have reached the opposite conclusion. For example, in chronic lymphocytic leukemia, hnRNPA1 overexpression can promote cell proliferation and inhibit apoptosis. The study by Han et al. showed that knockout of hnRNPA1 in lung cancer led to enhanced migration, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal (EMT) of lung cancer cells. This complexity suggests that the role of hnRNPA1 in tumors may depend on specific cell types, tumor stages, and microenvironmental factors.

[0031] In-depth study of the specific mechanism of action of hnRNPA1 in different tumor types and the development of precision medicine will help to better understand its role in tumor development and may provide targets for the development of new treatment strategies. In addition, exploring the interaction between hnRNPA1 and other molecules and its function in the tumor microenvironment may also reveal new therapeutic intervention points and bring new hope for tumor treatment.

[0032] In order to verify the key role of hnRNP A1 in mediating the pleiotropic drug resistance mechanism of melanoma, the present invention treated A375 cells with increasing doses of vemurafenib or activated CD8 + The proportion of T cells increased (corresponding to the A375-VR group and the A375-TR group, see Figure 3-A) Established an acquired tolerance model, and the results showed that both the vemurafenib-resistant strain (A375-VR group) and the T cell cytotoxicity-resistant strain (A375-TR group) showed a sustained tolerance effect, even after stopping drug induction, this persistent drug and T cell tolerance effect was still present ( Figure 3 -B, C).

[0033] In certain embodiments of the present application, RT-qPCR and Western blot analysis performed simultaneously on the A375-VR group and the A375-TR group showed that the hnRNP A1 mRNA and protein levels in the vemurafenib-resistant A375-VR and cytotoxic T cell-resistant A375-TR cell lines were downregulated compared with the wild-type A375 cells ( Figure 2 This observation suggests that hnRNPA1 is a potential regulator of dual drug resistance in melanoma.

[0034] In certain embodiments of the present application, the core region of the mRNA CDs sequence of hnRNP A1 was synthesized by BGI and cloned into the overexpression vector plvx-FLAG-puro (purchased from Suzhou Genema Gene). The hnRNP A1 overexpression vector was packaged by lentivirus to infect A375-VR and A375-TR cell lines to construct A375-VR / TR stable overexpression cell lines. Figure 3 The results showed that hnRNPA1 was overexpressed in A375-VR and A375-TR cell lines, and the A375-VR cell line A375-VR-hnRNPA1 overexpressing hnRNPA1 and the A375-TR cell line A375-TR-hnRNPA1 overexpressing hnRNPA1 were successfully constructed, and the expression of hnRNPA1 was verified at the protein level and mRNA level.

[0035] Figure 4 The results showed that the enhancement of hnRNPA1 expression alleviated the resistance to vemurafenib and reduced the tolerance to CD8+ T cell cytotoxicity, indicating that hnRNPA1 overexpression reversed vemurafenib resistance and T cell tolerance and played a regulatory role in the treatment of drug resistance. Figure 4 -A In the case of adding vemurafenib, the cell proliferation of A375-VR was significantly higher than that of A375, while the cell proliferation of A375-VR-hnRNPA1 was significantly lower than that of A375-VR. Moreover, with the increase of vemurafenib concentration, the trend of A375-VR-hnRNPA1 cell proliferation being lower than that of A375-VR became more obvious. Figure 4-B results showed that A375-TR and A375-TR-hnRNPA1 were co-cultured with T cells, and it was found that the cell proliferation of A375-TR was significantly higher than that of A375, while the cell proliferation of A375-TR-hnRNPA1 was significantly lower than that of A375-TR. In addition, as the proportion of T cells increased, the trend of A375-TR-hnRNPA1 cell proliferation being lower than that of A375-TR became more obvious.

[0036] Figure 5 The results showed that hnRNPA1 expression can affect the prognosis of patients receiving targeted therapy. Patients with high hnRNPA1 expression had better survival than those with low hnRNPA1 expression, and the difference was statistically significant.

[0037] The hnRNP A1 protein level was evaluated by IHC staining analysis, and the patient samples were divided into two groups (high expression and low expression). Figure 6 The results showed that the prognosis of patients with high expression of hnRNPA1 was significantly lower than that of patients with high expression of hnRNPA1.

[0038] According to all the above verification test results, in the first aspect of the present application, the use of hnRNPA1 as a target in the preparation of a drug for treating drug-resistant melanoma is provided. Among them, the Chinese name of hnRNP A1 is heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins A1, which has a well-known sequence and meaning in the art and will not be repeated here.

Furthermore, the drug-resistant melanoma includes a melanoma with a BRAF V600E mutation. According to the key role of hnRNP A1 in drug-resistant melanoma in the present application, in the actual drug development process, the hnRNP A1 target can be used to develop related drugs in vitro. Therefore, in the second aspect of the present application, a method for preparing a drug for treating drug-resistant melanoma is provided, using hnRNP A1 as a target, artificially designing melanoma cells that knock out or knock down hnRNP A1 in vitro, using the melanoma cells as experimental subjects, and screening and / or designing drugs that can increase the expression level of hnRNP A1.

[0040] In the process of drug development, artificial design can be used through biotechnology means, including but not limited to gene silencing, gene knockout, etc., to construct melanoma cells with target phenotypes in vitro for drug screening and verification.

[0041] Based on the positive effect of the hnRNP A1 target in drug-resistant melanoma, drug-resistant melanoma can be treated by increasing its level and activity in the body, including but not limited to targeted therapy and immunotherapy. Therefore, in the third aspect of the present application, there is provided the use of any one or more of a drug that promotes the expression of hnRNP A1 and a vector that overexpresses hnRNP A1 in the preparation of a drug for treating drug-resistant melanoma.

The relevant records in the prior application can be used as the content of this application and will not be repeated here. To this end, in the fourth aspect of the present application, a composition for combined treatment of drug-resistant melanoma is provided, comprising any one or more components selected from a drug that promotes the expression of hnRNP A1, a mimetic of hnRNP A1, and a vector that overexpresses hnRNP A1, and any one or more components selected from miR-18a mimics, a drug that promotes the expression of miR-18a, a BRAF inhibitor, a MEK inhibitor, an AJUBA inhibitor, a YAP inhibitor, a THBS1 inhibitor, and a CD47 inhibitor. The composition can be used in combination, and the application methods include but are not limited to sequential use, use together, etc.

[0043] Wherein, the inhibitor includes siRNA that reduces the expression level of AJUBA, YAP, THBS1, and CD47, or includes drugs that reduce the activity of AJUBA, YAP, THBS1, and CD47, for example, the drug that reduces the activity of YAP can be selected as verteporfin.
