Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of medicine, and particularly relates to protein tyrosine phosphatase inhibitors and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Cancer immunotherapy regimens targeting immune evasion mechanisms, including checkpoint blockade (e.g., PD-1 / PD-L1 and CTLA-4 blocking antibodies), have proven effective in treating a variety of cancers, significantly improving outcomes in some populations that are refractory to conventional therapies. However, incomplete clinical responses and the development of intrinsic or acquired resistance will continue to limit the patient population that can benefit from checkpoint blockade.
[0003] Non-receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase type 2 (PTPN2), also known as T-cell protein tyrosine phosphatase (TC-PTP), is an intracellular member of the class 1 subfamily of phosphotyrosine-specific phosphatases that control multiple cellular regulatory processes by removing phosphate groups from tyrosine substrates. PTPN2 is widely expressed, but is expressed highest in hematopoietic and placental cells. In humans, post-transcriptional control of PTPN2 expression is mediated by the presence of two splice variants: a 45 kDa form with a nuclear localization signal in the C-terminus upstream of the splice junction and a 48 kDa canonical form with a C-terminal ER retention motif. The 45 kDa isoform can be passively translocated into the cytosol under certain cellular stress conditions. Both isoforms have an N-terminal phosphotyrosine phosphatase catalytic domain. PTPN2 negatively regulates signaling of non-receptor tyrosine kinases (e.g., JAK1, JAK3), receptor tyrosine kinases (e.g., INSR, EGFR, CSF1R, PDGFR), transcription factors (e.g., STAT1, STAT3, STAT5a / b), and Src family kinases (e.g., Fyn, Lck). As an important negative regulator of the JAK-STAT pathway, PTPN2 function is directly modulated by cytokine receptor (including IFNy) signaling. The PTPN2 catalytic domain has 74% sequence homology with PTPN1 (also known as PTP1B) and has similar enzymatic kinetics.
[0004] Data using CRISPR / Cas9 genome editing for loss-of-function in vivo genetic screening in a mouse B16F10 transplantable tumor model showed that loss of PTPN2 gene in tumor cells improved the response to an immunotherapy regimen of GM-CSF secreting vaccine (GVAX) plus PD-1 checkpoint blockade. PTPN2 loss sensitized tumors to immunotherapy by enhancing IFNy-mediated effects on antigen presentation and growth inhibition. The same screening also showed that genes known to be involved in immune evasion, including PD-L1 and CD47, were also depleted under the selective pressure of immunotherapy, while genes involved in the IFNy signaling pathway, including IFNGR, JAK1 and STAT1, were enriched. These observations point to a putative role of therapeutic strategies to enhance IFNy sensing and signaling in enhancing the efficacy of cancer immunotherapy regimens. SUMMARY
