Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biomedical technologies, and particularly to a novel VEGFR degrader, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), also known as vascular permeability factor, is a homodimeric glycoprotein with a molecular weight of 34-45 kDa and plays an important role in promoting angiogenesis, inhibiting apoptosis of endothelial cells, and increasing vascular permeability. VEGFR is the receptor of VEGF and includes three types: VEGFR1, VEGFR2, and VEGFR3. When VEGF binds to the receptor, the conformation of the intracellular kinase domain changes, generating kinase activity to catalyze the phosphorylation of substrate proteins, and ultimately producing a series of biological effects through the cascade reaction of signaling molecules. The VEGF / VEGFR signal participates in the occurrence and development of various diseases, including cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, nervous system diseases, infectious diseases, inflammation, metabolic diseases, diabetes, and ophthalmic diseases. VEGF is overexpressed in almost all tumors and is closely related to tumor growth, metastasis, pathological grading, and prognosis. Therefore, VEGF / VEGFR has become an important target for various diseases.

[0003] In recent years, a large number of tyrosine kinase inhibitors targeting VEGFR have been developed globally. 14 small molecule VEGFR inhibitors have been approved for marketing, and more compounds are successively in the stages of clinical trials and activity tests, such as imatinib, sorafenib, tivozanib, cediranib, vorolanib, dovitinib, telatinib, WXFL-152, TEL-VEGFR2-BaF3, etc. Various types of VEGFR inhibitors can improve the survival rate of tumor patients, but such drugs often show primary or acquired drug resistance within one year during the treatment of tumors.

[0004] Targeted protein degradation is a brand-new and breakthrough drug development strategy that utilizes the inherent protein degradation pathways within cells to directly degrade pathogenic target proteins. This new type of drug form includes various types, such as PROTAC, molecular glue, LYTAC, ATAC, AbTAC, ATTEC, AUTAC, AUTOTAC, etc. PROTAC (PROteolysis Targeting Chimera) is a bifunctional molecule composed of three parts: a target protein ligand, a linker, and an E3 ubiquitin ligase recruitment element. After entering the cell, the target protein ligand in its structure specifically binds to the target protein, and the E3 ligase recruitment element at the other end binds to the E3 ligase, thus forming a ternary complex of target protein - PROTAC - E3. The E3 ubiquitin ligase mediates the ubiquitination of the target protein by ubiquitin - conjugating enzyme E2. The target protein labeled with polyubiquitination will be transported to the proteasome for degradation, thereby reducing the level of the target protein. In the above process, the target protein ligand does not need to occupy the binding site for a long time. Therefore, PROTAC can function repeatedly in cells. Based on such a special mechanism of action of PROTAC, PROTAC drugs have important advantages for overcoming drug resistance and drug development for undruggable targets.

[0005] Studies have found that inhibiting the VEGFR protein requires maintaining the drug at a high concentration for a long time. High - dose administration will lead to the enrichment of the VEGFR protein due to negative feedback, thus greatly weakening the inhibitory effect. Therefore, there is a need to further develop more effective new drugs against the VEGFR protein. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides a novel VEGFR degrader and its preparation method and application. The VEGFR degrader is a PROTAC using GROs (such as AS1411) as the MDM2 recruitment element, which can bring the target protein VEGFR and the E3 ubiquitin ligase MDM2 closer in vivo, label VEGFR with ubiquitin tags, and then degrade it through the ubiquitin - proteasome pathway. Experiments show that the VEGFR degrader can effectively degrade VEGFR and produce corresponding therapeutic effects, such as inhibiting the proliferation of tumor (such as glioma) cells and promoting tumor cell apoptosis.

Thus, the compounds of the present invention will inherently contain minor amounts of deuterated isotopologues. Despite such variation, the concentration of the stable hydrogen and carbon isotopes at natural abundance is low and inconsequential compared to the degree of stable isotope substitution in the compounds of the present invention.

"Benign tumors" are usually well-differentiated, characterized by slower growth than malignant tumors and remaining confined to the site of origin. In addition, benign tumors do not have the ability to infiltrate, invade, or metastasize to distant sites. In some cases, certain "benign" tumors may later give rise to malignant tumors, which may be due to additional genetic alterations in subsets of the neoplastic cells of the tumor, and these tumors are called "preneoplastic tumors". "Malignant tumors" are usually poorly differentiated (anaplastic) and are characterized by a characteristic rapid growth, accompanied by progressive infiltration, invasion, and destruction of the surrounding tissue. In addition, malignant tumors usually have the ability to metastasize to distant sites.

[0234] Example 1: NCL can bind to MDM2

[0235] (1) Co-Immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) is a classic method for studying protein-protein interactions based on the specific interaction between antibodies and antigens. After lysing hepatoma cells Hep3B with IP lysis buffer (purchased from Thermo Scientific, catalog number 87788), incubate overnight at 4°C with an antibody against NCL. Add Protein A / G magnetic beads (purchased from Thermo Scientific, catalog number 88802) and incubate with rotation at room temperature for 2 hours. Wash the NCL and its interacting protein complex bound to the magnetic beads with IP lysis buffer (purchased from Thermo Scientific, catalog number 87788), add SDS-PAGE protein loading buffer (purchased from Beyotime, catalog number P0015), heat to 100°C and maintain for 10 minutes. Adsorb the magnetic beads with a magnetic stand, take the supernatant into a new tube. Then perform a western blot experiment to detect whether NCL binds to MDM2. The steps of the western blot experiment are as follows: Separate the protein samples by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis, transfer the separated proteins to a PVDF membrane, block with TBST buffer containing 5% skim milk at room temperature for 1 hour, then incubate overnight at 4°C with a primary antibody against MDM2 (purchased from proteintech, catalog number 27883-1-AP) or a primary antibody against NCL (purchased from Cell Signaling Technology, catalog number 14574S). After washing with TBST, incubate the membrane with an HRP-labeled secondary antibody (purchased from Abclonal, catalog number AS014) at room temperature for 1 hour, and visualize the protein band blots using an enhanced chemiluminescence detection kit (purchased from Abclonal, catalog number RM00021P). Figure 1The results of A indicate that NCL can bind to MDM2.

[0236] (2) Mix 2 μg / mL recombinant human NCL (rhNCL, purchased from ACROBiosystems, NUL-H5253) and 2 μg / mL recombinant human MDM2 (rhMDM2, purchased from R&D Systems, E3-202-050), incubate at 4 °C for 7 hours, then add the antibody against NCL and continue to incubate overnight at 4 °C. Add Protein A / G magnetic beads (purchased from Thermo Scientific, catalog number 88802), rotate and incubate at room temperature for 1.5 hours. Wash the magnetic beads three times with TBST buffer, add SDS-PAGE protein loading buffer (purchased from Beyotime, catalog number P0015), heat to 100 °C and maintain for 10 minutes. Adsorb the magnetic beads with a magnetic stand, take the supernatant and transfer it to a new tube. Then perform immunoblotting to detect whether NCL binds to MDM2. Figure 1 The results of B indicate that NCL can bind to MDM2.

[0237] Example 2: AS1411 is a GRO with a stable G4 structural feature

[0238] GROs contain one or more GGT motifs and have a stable G4 structural feature. GROs are guanine-rich oligonucleotides that can specifically bind to NCL. The GROs described in the present invention can be one of DNA aptamer AS1411, AS1411 derivatives / analogues, all having the above-mentioned stable G4 structural feature and the property of specifically binding to NCL. NCL is a multifunctional shuttle protein that shuttles between the cell nucleus and cytoplasm. NCL is highly expressed in a variety of diseased cells (such as tumors, etc.) and specifically translocates to the cell surface, affecting multiple processes such as cell proliferation, apoptosis, and metastasis. However, NCL is not expressed on the surface of normal cells, making NCL a surface molecular marker and potential therapeutic target for diseased cells (such as tumors, etc.). NCL on the membrane surface of diseased cells (such as tumors, etc.) can also act as a receptor for various ligand molecules, mediating the entry of ligand molecules into diseased cells (such as tumors, etc.).

[0239] (1) Both AS1411 (SEQ ID NO:1) and iSN04 (SEQ ID NO:2) are oligonucleotides that specifically bind to NCL. We detected whether AS1411 and iSN04 have stable G4 structural characteristics. The experimental procedure is as follows: Add 5 μM NC (negative control, SEQ ID NO:4), AS1411 or iSN04 to water, with a total volume of 100 μL. Heat at 95 °C for 7 minutes, immediately incubate on ice for 3 minutes, and then add 2 μL of N-methyl mesoporphyrin IX (NMM) (purchased from MCE, catalog number HY-133821) to make its final concentration 1 μM. Incubate in the dark at room temperature for 1 hour. Detect the fluorescence intensity with a microplate reader, emission wavelength 550 - 700 nm, excitation wavelength 399. The results are as Figure 2 shown. No G4 structural characteristics were detected for iSN04, but AS1411 has stable G4 structural characteristics (fluorescence signal intensity exceeds 4000).

[0240] (2) Guanine-rich DNA sequences can form more obvious G4 structural characteristics in the presence of metal ions (usually sodium and potassium ions). Add 5 μM NC, AS1411 or iSN04 to 100 mM K+ solution, with a total volume of 100 μL. Mix well and heat at 95 °C for 7 minutes, immediately incubate on ice for 3 minutes, and then add 2 μL of N-methylmesoporphyrin IX (NMM) (purchased from MCE, catalog number HY-133821) to make its final concentration 1 μM. Incubate in the dark at room temperature for 1 hour. Detect the fluorescence intensity with a microplate reader, emission wavelength 550 - 700 nm, excitation wavelength 399. The results are as Figure 3 shown. iSN04 has weak G4 structural characteristics (fluorescence signal intensity 1000 - 2000), but the G4 structural characteristics of AS1411 are more stable (fluorescence signal intensity exceeds 10000).

[0241] The above results indicate that iSN04 can form a weak G4 structure only in the presence of K+, and cannot form G4 structural characteristics in the absence of K+, but AS1411 can form stable G4 structural characteristics in the presence or absence of K+.

[0242] Example 3: AS1411 recruits MDM2 depending on its interaction with NCL

[0243] (1) The procedure of the pull-down experiment is to immobilize a substance with a known identity (bait) on a carrier and use it to capture binding proteins (prey) and proteins that interact with the binding proteins from a complex mixture. This experiment is used to demonstrate the possible interaction between the bait and a certain protein or protein complex. After lysing hepatoma cells Hep3B with IP lysis buffer (purchased from Thermo Scientific, catalog number 87788), they were incubated with 5'-biotinylated CRO (cytosine-rich oligonucleotides, SEQ ID NO: 3, negative control), AS1411, or iSN04 at different concentrations (0 nM, 200 nM, 500 nM, 1 μM, 5 μM, 10 μM, 20 μM) at 4°C for 6 hours, and then streptavidin agarose gel beads (purchased from cytiva, catalog number 17511301) were added and the incubation continued at 4°C overnight. After washing the biotinylated CRO, AS1411, or iSN04 bound to the gel beads and the proteins they captured multiple times with IP lysis buffer (purchased from Thermo Scientific, catalog number 87788), SDS-PAGE protein loading buffer (purchased from Beyotime, catalog number P0015) was added, heated to 100°C and maintained for 10 minutes. After centrifugation, the supernatant was taken, which was the pull-down product. Immunoblotting was used to detect the pull-down product.

[0244] Figure 4 The results of A showed that CRO could neither capture NCL nor MDM2; Figure 4 The results of B showed that AS1411 could capture NCL and MDM2 in a concentration-dependent manner; Figure 4 The results of C showed that high-concentration iSN04 could capture NCL, but iSN04 could not capture MDM2 within the concentration range used.

[0245] (2) After mixing 6 μg / mL recombinant human NCL and 6 μg / mL recombinant human MDM2 and incubating them at 4°C for 7 hours, 400 nM of 5'-biotinylated CRO, AS1411, or iSN04 was added, incubated at 4°C for 6 hours, and streptavidin agarose gel beads (purchased from cytiva, catalog number 17511301) were added and the incubation continued at 4°C overnight. The gel beads were washed 4 times with TBST buffer, SDS-PAGE protein loading buffer (purchased from Beyotime, catalog number P0015) was added, heated to 100°C and maintained for 10 minutes. After centrifugation, the supernatant was taken. Then, immunoblotting was used to detect the pull-down product. Figure 5 The results of A showed that CRO could neither bind to NCL nor MDM2. Figure 5 The results of B showed that AS1411 recruited a large amount of MDM2 depending on its interaction with NCL. Figure 5The results of C showed that iSN04 could only bind to NCL, but could not recruit MDM2 depending on its interaction with NCL.

[0246] (3) After lysing hepatoma cells Hep3B with IP lysis buffer (purchased from Thermo Scientific, catalog number 87788), incubate them with different concentrations (0 μM, 1 μM, 5 μM, 10 μM, 20 μM) of AS1411 or iSN04 at 4 °C for 6 hours, then add 5 μL of NCL antibody and continue to incubate overnight at 4 °C. Add Protein A / G magnetic beads (purchased from Thermo Scientific, catalog number 88802) and rotate and incubate at room temperature for 1.5 hours. Wash the NCL bound to the magnetic beads and the proteins it captured with IP lysis buffer (purchased from Thermo Scientific, catalog number 87788), add SDS-PAGE protein loading buffer (purchased from Beyotime, catalog number P0015), heat to 100 °C and keep for 10 minutes. Adsorb the magnetic beads with a magnetic stand, take the supernatant into a new tube. Then perform immunoblotting (western blot) to detect whether NCL binds to MDM2 and whether this binding is affected by AS1411 or iSN04. Figure 6 The results of A showed that AS1411 did not affect the interaction between NCL and MDM2. The same experiment was carried out using derivatives / analogues of AS1411, and the experimental results were similar to those of AS1411. However, Figure 6 The results of B showed that iSN04 blocked the binding between NCL and MDM2.

[0248] (1) NCL is highly expressed in a variety of tumor cells (including glioma cells, etc.) and specifically translocates to the tumor cell membrane surface, and NCL is not expressed on the surface of normal cells. Therefore, we examined the binding ability of AS1411 to glioma cells U87MG and U251 and human normal mammary epithelial cells MCF 10A. Seed the three types of cells into 6-well plates (purchased from Corning, catalog number 3335) respectively and culture overnight. Add 200 nM Cy5-labeled NC or AS1411 respectively and incubate for 6 h. After washing with PBS, use a flow cytometer (BD, model BD FACSCanto SORP) for analysis to observe the binding of NC or AS1411 to the three types of cells. The results are as Figure 7 shown in A-7C. Compared with NC, AS1411 could significantly bind to glioma cells U87MG and U251 cells, but did not bind to human normal mammary epithelial cells MCF 10A. It indicated that AS1411 could specifically recognize glioma cells.

[0249] (2) Glioma cells U87MG, U251 and normal human mammary epithelial cells MCF 10A were respectively inoculated on cell culture slides (purchased from BIOLOGIX, product number: 07 - 2101) and cultured overnight. 200 nM of Cy5-labeled NC or AS1411 was added respectively and incubated for 6 h. After washing with PBS, the slides were sealed with an anti-fluorescence quenching mounting medium (purchased from Beyotime, product number P0126) and observed under a confocal fluorescence microscope (ZEISS, model 980) to check the entry of NC or AS1411 into the cells. The results were as Figure 8 shown in Figure A - 8C. NC could neither enter U87MG and U251 cells nor enter MCF 10A cells; AS1411 was significantly enriched in U87MG and U251 cells, but AS1411 could not enter MCF 10A cells. This indicates that AS1411 can specifically enter glioma cells.

[0250] (3) Glioma U87MG or U251 cells were inoculated in 96-well spherical microporous plates (purchased from Corning, product number 4520) and cultured for 3 days. 200 nM of Cy5-labeled NC or AS1411 was added respectively and incubated for 6 h. After washing with PBS, it was placed under a confocal fluorescence microscope (ZEISS, model 980) to observe the distribution of NC or AS1411. The results were as Figure 9 shown in Figures A and 9B. NC could not penetrate the 3D cell spheres formed by U87MG and U251, but AS1411 had relatively strong penetrability into the 3D cell spheres formed by U87MG or U251.

[0251] (4) A glioma orthotopic mouse model was constructed using U87MG-LUC-GFP cells as follows: The tumor injection area in the brain of nude mice was located by a stereotaxic apparatus (RWD, model 68803). 1 mm forward from the midpoint of the bregma and then 1.8 mm to the right, with an injection depth of 3 mm. 3×10 7 U87MG-LUC-GFP cells were injected. In the control group, nude mice were not injected with U87MG-LUC-GFP cells. Seven days after modeling, 0.2 μmol / kg of Cy5-labeled AS1411 was injected via the tail vein, and in vivo imaging of the mice (PerkinElmer, model IVIS Spectrum) was performed at 5 min, 15 min, 30 min, 60 min, and 90 min after injection. The results were as Figure 9 shown. AS1411 could specifically target glioma in vivo but could not enter the normal brain tissue of the control nude mice, indicating that AS1411 can be used for in vivo imaging, diagnosis, and detection of glioma.

[0252] (5) An orthotopic glioma mouse model was constructed using U87MG-LUC-GFP cells as follows: The tumor injection area in the brain of nude mice was located by a stereotaxic apparatus (RWD, model 68803). 1 mm forward from the midpoint of the bregma and then 1.8 mm to the right, with an injection depth of 3 mm. 3×10 7 U87MG-LUC-GFP cells were injected. Seven days after modeling, 0.2 μmol / kg of Cy5-labeled AS1411 or NC sequence was injected via the tail vein, and in vivo imaging of the mice (PerkinElmer, model IVIS Spectrum) was performed at 1, 2, 4, and 8 h after injection respectively to observe the in vivo distribution of AS1411 and the NC sequence in the orthotopic glioma mouse model. The results are as Figure 11 shown in A. AS1411 was significantly enriched in gliomas, while the NC sequence could not be enriched in gliomas. It indicates that AS1411 can be used for in vivo imaging, diagnosis, and detection of gliomas.

[0253] (6) Cy5-labeled AS1411 or NC sequence was injected into the orthotopic glioma nude mice constructed using U87MG-LUC-GFP cells. After 1 h, the brain tissues were taken, fixed with formalin, dehydrated with a sucrose gradient, and then embedded with OCT embedding medium (purchased from SUKURA, catalog number 4583). Sections were made using a cryostat (Leica, model CM1950). The sections were sealed with an anti-fluorescence quenching mounting medium (purchased from Beyotime, catalog number P0126) and observed under a confocal fluorescence microscope (ZEISS, model 980) to observe the cell distribution of NC or AS1411. The results are as Figure 11 shown in B. NC had no obvious distribution in either glioma cells or non-tumor cell areas in the brain tissue; AS1411 was significantly enriched in glioma cells and had no distribution in the non-tumor cell areas in the brain tissue, indicating that AS1411 can be used for in vivo imaging, diagnosis, and detection of gliomas.

[0254] Seven days after establishing an orthotopic glioma nude mouse model using U87MG-LUC-GFP cells, the brain tissue was collected. After fixation with formalin and dehydration using a sucrose gradient, it was embedded with OCT embedding medium (purchased from SUKURA, catalog number 4583). Sections were made using a cryostat (Leica, model CM1950). It was permeated with permeation solution (purchased from Beyotime, catalog number P0095) for 15 minutes, blocked with blocking solution (purchased from Beyotime, catalog number P0252) for 1 hour, and incubated overnight at 4°C with the primary antibody against NCL (purchased from Cell Signaling Technology, catalog number 14574S) and the primary antibody against the vascular endothelial cell marker CD31 (purchased from Abcam, catalog number ab28364). After washing with PBS, it was incubated with a fluorescently labeled secondary antibody (purchased from Abcam, catalog number ab150077 or ab150080) for 1 hour at room temperature, sealed with an anti-fluorescence quenching mounting medium (purchased from Beyotime, catalog number P0126), and observed under a confocal fluorescence microscope (Zeiss, model LSM980) for the expression of GFP, CD31, and NCL and the co-localization of GFP or CD31 with NCL. The results were as Figure 12 shown. There was a large amount of expression of CD31 and NCL in glioma tissues. NCL co-localized with CD31 and GFP respectively. The expression of CD31 and NCL was less in non-tumor sites, indicating that there was a large amount of angiogenesis in glioma tissues, and both glioma cells and vascular endothelial cells highly expressed NCL.

[0255] Example 5: AS1411 can penetrate the blood-tumor barrier

[0256] The blood-brain barrier (BBB) consists of tightly connected endothelial cells that line the inner layer of brain capillaries and play an important role in maintaining the homeostasis of the central nervous system. The BBB functions by facilitating the transport of essential nutrients such as amino acids, monocarboxylic acids, nucleosides, and vitamins, while preventing harmful substances from entering the brain. However, this selective permeability also poses significant challenges and limits the ability of therapeutic drugs to enter brain tumors. Studies have widely demonstrated that brain tumors can alter the BBB to form a highly heterogeneous vascular structure, namely the blood-tumor barrier (BTB). In the BTB, brain tumor-associated endothelial cells exhibit different phenotypic and functional characteristics compared to normal endothelial cells in the healthy BBB. These brain tumor-associated endothelial cells are less prone to apoptosis, are resistant to cytotoxic therapy, and actively participate in the abnormal reorganization of the BTB.

[0257] (1) We constructed in vitro blood-tumor barrier and blood-brain barrier models. Specifically, as Figure 13As shown in A: We inoculated glioma cells U87MG or normal glial cells and brain microvascular endothelial cells bEnd.3 into a co-culture system respectively. Among them, brain microvascular endothelial cells bEnd.3 were inoculated into the upper chamber of the co-culture system, and glioma cells U87MG or normal glial cells were inoculated into the lower chamber of the co-culture system. After culturing for 5 days, a blood-tumor barrier and a blood-brain barrier model were formed respectively. After the model was constructed, 1 μΜ Cy5-labeled AS1411 was added to the upper chamber to detect the ability of AS1411 to penetrate the bEnd.3 cell layer. The results are as Figure 13 shown in B. Compared with the bEnd.3 cell layer co-cultured with normal glial cells, AS1411 was more likely to penetrate the bEnd.3 cell layer (blood-tumor barrier) co-cultured with glioma cells U87MG. This is consistent with the data that AS1411 can specifically target gliomas in vivo but cannot enter normal brain tissue mentioned above.

[0258] (2) We co-cultured normal glial cells, glioma cells U87MG, glioma cells U87MG treated with NCL siRNA (siNCL, SEQ ID NO:6) or glioma cells U87MG treated with negative control siRNA (siNC, SEQ ID NO:5) with brain microvascular endothelial cells bEnd.3 for 5 days, and detected the NCL level in bEnd.3 cells. The results are as Figure 13 shown in C. After co-culturing with glioma cells U87MG, the NCL level in bEnd.3 cells increased significantly; after co-culturing with glioma cells U87MG treated with siNCL, the NCL level in bEnd.3 cells decreased; after co-culturing with glioma cells U87MG treated with siNC, the NCL level in bEnd.3 cells still increased significantly. It shows that there is a positive correlation between NCL in glioma cells and NCL in brain microvascular endothelial cells.

[0259] (3) We co-cultured glioma cells U87MG treated with siNCL or glioma cells U87MG treated with siNC with brain microvascular endothelial cells bEnd.3 for 5 days, and added 1 μΜ Cy5-labeled AS1411. The results are as Figure 13 shown in D. After knocking down NCL in glioma cells U87MG, the ability of AS1411 to penetrate the bEnd.3 cell layer was weakened.

[0260] (4) Brain tumor cells can transfer pro-angiogenic factors to the vascular endothelial cells of the blood-brain barrier through extracellular vesicles (EVs), promoting the transformation of the normal blood-brain barrier (BBB) into a blood-tumor barrier (BTB). We collected EVs from normal glial cells, glioma cells U87MG, glioma cells U87MG treated with siNCL, or glioma cells U87MG treated with siNC, added them to the culture medium of brain microvascular endothelial cells bEnd.3 and incubated for 6 h, and then added 200 nM Cy5-labeled AS1411 and incubated for another 6 h. The results are as Figure 13 shown in Figure E. After incubation of EVs from glioma cells U87MG with bEnd.3 cells, the binding ability of AS1411 to bEnd.3 cells was significantly enhanced; after incubation of EVs from glioma cells U87MG with knocked-down NCL with bEnd.3 cells, the binding ability of AS1411 to bEnd.3 cells decreased.

[0261] The above results indicate that brain tumor cells transfer NCL to the vascular endothelial cells of the blood-brain barrier through extracellular vesicles, promoting the transformation of the normal blood-brain barrier into a blood-tumor barrier. AS1411 penetrates the blood-tumor barrier by binding to NCL on the surface of vascular endothelial cells of the blood-tumor barrier and specifically targets brain tumor cells. Therefore, AS1411 can be used for in vivo imaging, diagnosis, and detection of brain tumors.

[0262] Example 6: Silencing NCL can block the recruitment of MDM2 by AS1411

[0263] (1) After lysing glioma U87MG cells with IP lysis buffer (purchased from Thermo Scientific, catalog number 87788), 5 μL of NCL antibody was added and incubated at 4 °C overnight. Protein A / G magnetic beads (purchased from Thermo Scientific, catalog number 88802) were added and incubated with rotation at room temperature for 1.5 hours. The NCL bound to the magnetic beads and the proteins it captured were washed with IP lysis buffer (purchased from Thermo Scientific, catalog number 87788), SDS-PAGE protein loading buffer (purchased from Beyotime, catalog number P0015) was added, and heated to 100 °C for 10 minutes. The magnetic beads were adsorbed with a magnetic rack, and the supernatant was taken into a new tube. Then, immunoblotting experiments were performed.

[0264] The results are as Figure 14 shown in Figure A. NCL can interact with MDM2, but does not bind to VEGFR2.

[0265] (2) Incubate glioma U87MG cells with 500 nM biotin-labeled negative control CRO (Bio-CRO) or AS1411 (Bio-AS1411) for 6 hours. After cell lysis, incubate the supernatant with streptavidin agarose gel beads (purchased from Cytiva, catalog number 17511301) overnight at 4°C. After washing the biotin-labeled CRO or AS411 bound to the gel beads and the proteins they captured multiple times with IP lysis buffer (purchased from Thermo Scientific, catalog number 87788), add SDS-PAGE protein loading buffer (purchased from Beyotime, catalog number P0015), heat to 100°C and maintain for 10 minutes. After centrifugation, take the supernatant, which is the pull-down product. Detect the pull-down product by immunoblotting assay.

[0266] The results are as Figure 14 shown in B. AS1411 can capture NCL and MDM2.

[0267] (3) Transfect negative control siRNA (siNC) or NCL siRNA (siNCL) into glioma U87MG cells. After 48 hours, incubate the cells with 500 nM biotin-labeled AS1411 for 6 hours. Lyse the cells, and then incubate the supernatant with streptavidin agarose gel beads overnight at 4°C. After washing the biotin-labeled AS1411 bound to the gel beads and the proteins they captured multiple times with IP lysis buffer (purchased from Thermo Scientific, catalog number 87788), add SDS-PAGE protein loading buffer (purchased from Beyotime, catalog number P0015), heat to 100°C and maintain for 10 minutes. After centrifugation, take the supernatant, which is the pull-down product. Detect the pull-down product by immunoblotting assay.

[0268] The results are as Figure 14 shown in C. Silencing NCL can block the recruitment of MDM2 by AS1411.

[0269] Example 7: Preparation of GROs-based PROTAC molecules targeting VEGFR.

[0270] We respectively simulated the three-dimensional structure diagrams of AS1411 and NCL-MDM2 complex using Discovery Studio and AlphaFold2, and predicted the conformation of the interaction between AS1411 and NCL-MDM2 complex using HDOCK. The results showed that GROs recruit MDM2 depending on the interaction with NCL, and the possible mode of action is as Figure 15 shown in A; A possible mode of action of PROTAC targeting VEGFR formed by GROs as a recruitment element of MDM2 is as Figure 15 shown in B.

[0271] In this example, AS1411, a typical representative of GROs, was used as the E3 ligase recruitment element, and Cediranib (Ced), a VEGFR inhibitor, was used as an example of the target protein ligand to prepare a PROTAC for degrading VEGFR (hereinafter simply referred to as AS1411-Ced).
