Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of in-situ drug synthesis, and relates to a desilylation and reconnection method and its application, specifically to a desilylation and reconnection method and its application in the presence of phenylalanine boron trifluoride (Phe-BF 3 ). Background Art
[0002] Inducing proximity interactions between proteins and cells is emerging as a novel approach in cancer therapy. Through specific binding, chemical-induced proximity can alter the fate of target proteins / cells, inducing protein degradation or cell death. However, most target antigens are usually co-expressed in non-malignant tumor tissues. This off-target non-oncotoxicity poses a major obstacle to the clinical progress of proximity-mediated therapies such as proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) or T cell-mediated immunotherapy.
[0003] For example, toxicity is one of the bottlenecks in the clinical development of PROTACs because it may cause unexpected consequences by degrading entire proteins rather than simply inhibiting them. PROTACs are an effective way to selectively degrade pathogenic proteins in a catalytic manner. However, the powerful catalytic properties of PROTACs may narrow their therapeutic window, and their low selectivity for tumors will lead to severe systemic toxicity due to so-called "on-target toxicity". For example, BRD4 is an epigenetic regulator overexpressed in various types of tumors and is considered a potential therapeutic target for cancer treatment. However, the complete degradation of BRD4 may cause serious side effects, especially in small intestinal tissues. Some PROTAC drugs were originally prepared to enter clinical trials but were ultimately terminated.
[0004] As many as one-third of patients receiving immunotherapy suffer from the well-known cytokine release syndrome, which is caused by its powerful immune effector response. Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), a recognized therapeutic target in cancer treatment, is also expressed in healthy tissues, which has led to fatal cardiopulmonary toxicity in colorectal cancer patients who have previously received HER2-based chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy. Bispecific T cell engager (BiTE) is an important approach for T cell immunotherapy, which can connect T cells in vivo to target cells containing selected markers and induce T cell-mediated tumor cell killing. However, due to the lack of specific distribution of tumor-associated antigens, BiTE tumor targeting is insufficient, and T cell redirection therapy has off-tumor toxicity (OTOT), which limits its clinical application. Therefore, how to enhance the killing effect of immune cells on cancer cells while reducing toxic side effects is a key and difficult problem that needs to be solved in the field of immunotherapy.
[0005] Therefore, new strategies are urgently needed to mitigate the toxicities associated with PROTACs and T cell-mediated therapies in order to advance preclinical and clinical studies of related drug development. In theory, the function of PROTAC or T cell-mediated therapies depends on proximity-driven protein-protein interactions or cell-cell interactions, which highlights the need for precise regulation of the timing and location of these interactions. Therefore, if a technology platform that can locally induce proximity in a tumor-selective manner is successfully developed, it will provide theoretical and technical guidance for addressing the above challenges.
[0006] A large amount of literature has proved that bioorthogonal reactions can achieve selective chemical regulation of cells or target organs without interfering with normal life activities. Bioorthogonal chemistry is a method that can be used in the fields of biomolecule labeling and imaging, drug delivery, cell engineering, etc. Studies have shown that bioorthogonal chemistry has the ability to accurately connect two compounds in vitro. However, there is still a gap between the process of bioorthogonal connection and tumor selective intervention. The time and spatial position of exogenous light irradiation can be finely adjusted, giving light regulation ultra-high spatiotemporal resolution. Scientists have achieved controllable activation of BiTE regulated by light ( Figure 1 A in the figure). Although light-regulated immunotherapy has made some progress in the treatment of cells and superficial skin tumors, phototoxicity and penetration limit its further application in vivo. In contrast, chemical small molecules have the characteristics of structural adjustability and easy penetration into tissues, making them a more flexible means of regulation. LITE (Ligand-induced transient engagement) therapy ( Figure 1In B), the activity of T cells is regulated by selectively activating and controlling the formation of bispecific complexes through the injection of small molecule activators. However, small molecules are metabolized and cleared quickly, while antibodies have a long retention time, resulting in poor matching between the two. Therefore, long-term small molecule intervention and regulation are required, and the hook effect may occur after supersaturation, affecting the maximum drug efficacy. The pharmacokinetic properties of chemical small molecules and their ability to drive orthogonal reactions are key factors for achieving "enhanced efficacy and reduced toxicity" in immunotherapy. Therefore, how to achieve tumor-selective T cell targeting and regulation is a key scientific issue for realizing "enhanced efficacy and reduced toxicity" in immunotherapy. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0068] Advantages
[0069] In the present disclosure, the inventors utilized the desilylation-to-ligation method (abbreviated as D2L strategy) to achieve controllable ligation of tumor-selective diazaborolane (DAB (1-hydroxy-2,3,1-benzodiazaborine)). When phenylhydrazine is linked to a silyl phenolic ether system, it can be activated by phenylalanine trifluoroborate (Phe-BF 3 , an amino acid derivative with tumor targeting property), and then react with 2-formylphenylboronic acid (2-fPBA) to generate DAB. The inventors applied the D2L strategy to achieve fluorescent labeling of Cetuximab in HeLa cells and mixed it with HT-1080 wild-type cells to achieve selective imaging of HT-1080 FAP-positive cells. In addition, the inventors successfully degraded the target protein (BRD4) in tumors by in vivo synthesizing JQ1(+)-based PROTAC molecules, thereby reducing toxicity in the small intestine. At the same time, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are currently used in clinical research for hyperthermia and can be modified with cell-targeting peptides. The inventors achieved recruitment of T cells to attack cancer cells through D2L assembly. Brief Description of the Drawings

[0106] The term "T cell-mediated immunotherapy" includes "CAR-T therapy", "chimeric antigen receptor T cell immunotherapy", which is a novel precision targeted therapy for treating tumors. By activating T cells and equipping them with a positioning and navigation device CAR (chimeric antigen receptor on tumors), ordinary "soldiers" T cells are transformed into "super soldiers", that is, CAR-T cells. Using its "positioning and navigation device" CAR, it specifically recognizes tumor cells in the body and releases a large number of various effector factors through immune action, which can efficiently kill tumor cells, thus achieving the purpose of treating malignant tumors.
[0107] The term "T cell-mediated immunotherapy" in this article also refers to BiTE (Bispecific T-cell Engager) therapy, which attacks cancer cells by activating the patient's own immune system (especially T cells). Its core is to use an artificially designed "bispecific antibody" that can simultaneously bind to two different targets: the CD3 molecule on the surface of T cells and the specific antigen of tumor cells, thus "bringing closer" T cells and cancer cells and directly activating T cells to kill tumor cells.

[0206] 2. Synthetic methods of exemplary materials: TBS&RGD@AuNP complex and 2-fPBA&anti-CD3@AuNP complex
[0207] Dissolve 6 mg of chloroauric acid in 100 mL of water, reflux for 1 hour. After cooling slightly, add 3 mL of 1% sodium citrate solution by mass concentration, and continue refluxing for 30 minutes. The solution turns purple-red, and after cooling, Citrate@AuNP is obtained.
[0208] In the above 100 mL solution, add 1 mL of 0.1 M NaHCO 3 aqueous solution, and add mPEG 5k -SH and NH 2 -PEG 5k -SH and DBCO-PEG 5k -SH. After reacting overnight, ultrafiltration and centrifugation are used to replace the aqueous solution to remove free PEG, and NH 2 @AuNP is obtained.
[0209] After the above solution is concentrated ten times and replaced with DMF, add triethylamine and the activated ester of the corresponding modified molecule. After reacting at room temperature for 2 hours, then centrifuge to remove the supernatant. Wash with DMF to remove free small molecules and then replace with an aqueous solution to obtain the modified gold nanoparticles, namely phenylhydrazine modified gold nanoparticles protected by TBS (TBS@AuNP) and 2-fPBA modified gold nanoparticles (2-fPBA@AuNP).
[0210] According to the principle of polypeptide synthesis, use a polypeptide synthesizer to synthesize the required polypeptides N 3 -RGD and N 3 -CD3 in sequence, and then react with the above-mentioned modified gold nanoparticles respectively to obtain the required TBS&RGD@AuNP complex and 2-fPBA&anti-CD3@AuNP complex.
[0211] 3. Ultra-high performance liquid chromatography test method
[0212] Add the DMSO solution of the test molecule (1 mM, 25 μL), the DMSO solution of o-formylphenylboronic acid (10 mM, 5 μL), and the DMSO solution of Phe-BF 3 (100 mM, 5 μL) into a microcentrifuge tube, add 215 μL of DMSO and 250 μL of PBS solution, and then add the same solution to two microcentrifuge tubes respectively. These three microcentrifuge tubes are used as the experimental group. Add the DMSO solution of the test molecule (1 mM, 25 μL) and the DMSO solution of o-formylphenylboronic acid (10 mM, 5 μL) into a microcentrifuge tube, add 220 μL of DMSO and 250 μL of PBS solution as the control group. After mixing the solution in each centrifuge tube, place it on a thermostatic mixer, and start the reaction at 37°C. Sample the above reaction system at 0 h, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h, 6 h, 8 h, 10 h, and 18 h, and characterize the samples by UPLC.
[0213] 4. Chemical Post-modification Method of Antibodies
[0214] The common tumor cell-targeting Cetuximab was selected for experiments. First, PBS with pH = 7.4 and sodium carbonate / sodium bicarbonate buffer solution with pH = 9 were mixed at a volume ratio of 9:1 to prepare the solution required for the reaction. Subsequently, the DMSO solution of trastuzumab (100 μL, 5 mg / mL) was diluted in 895 μL of the above reaction solution in a microcentrifuge tube. Then, the PBS solution of tert-butyldimethylsilyl-protected phenylhydrazine-N-hydroxysuccinimide ester (TBS-NHNH-NHSester) (100 mM, 5 μL) was slowly added dropwise to the above buffer solution, and the mixture was incubated at 37 °C for 2 hours on a thermostatic mixer.
[0215] After the reaction, the solution was purified with a PD-10 desalting column and eluted with a phosphate-buffered saline solution with pH = 7.4. The eluate was aliquoted into different microcentrifuge tubes in chronological order. Subsequently, the protein concentration in the solution of each microcentrifuge tube was measured with a NanoDrop ONE, and the solution containing the protein was collected.
[0216] 5. Fluorescent Labeling Test Method for Model Antibodies
[0217] The modified antibody above was diluted in a PBS solution of 2 mM CTAC, with a final concentration of approximately 0.3 mg / mL. Subsequently, 1455 μL of the above antibody solution was taken into two microcentrifuge tubes respectively. The DMSO solution of 2-formylphenylboronic acid linked to fluorescein isothiocyanate (2-fPBA-FITC) (2.5 mM, 15 μL) and the DMSO solution of Phe-BF 3 (100 mM, 30 μL) were added to one of the microcentrifuge tubes as the experimental group, while the one without adding Phe-BF 3 was used as the control group.
[0218] After the solutions in the above two centrifuge tubes were shaken evenly, they were placed on a thermostatic mixer, and the reaction started at 37 °C. Samples were taken from the solutions in the two centrifuge tubes every 30 min, with 300 μL taken each time. The sample solution was purified with a PD-10 desalting column and eluted with a phosphate-buffered saline solution with pH = 7.4. The eluate was aliquoted into different microcentrifuge tubes in chronological order. Subsequently, the protein concentration in the solution of each microcentrifuge tube was measured with a NanoDropONE, and the solution containing the protein was collected.
[0219] The protein solutions collected at different times and different groups were diluted to 0.025 mg / mL with a PBS solution, and then added to a cuvette. The fluorescence intensity was measured with a fluorescence spectrophotometer and recorded.
[0220] 6. Immunofluorescence Assay Method
[0221] Incubate the cells in groups using an eight-well plate according to the experimental requirements. After they adhere to the wall, apply the drug in a timely manner. At the specified time point, remove the drug and culture medium incubated in the eight-well plate. Add 200 μL of PBS solution to each well, let it stand for washing, and then replace it with 200 μL of 4% paraformaldehyde solution. Fix at room temperature for 15 minutes and then remove. Wash each well three times with 200 μL of PBS solution, 3 minutes each time. Subsequently, add 200 μL of Triton X solution to each well and perform immunopermeabilization treatment at room temperature for 20 minutes, then remove and wash three times with PBS. Then add 200 μL of 10% goat serum to each well to block for 30 minutes. After removing the original solution, add 200 μL of anti-BRD4 primary antibody solution (product number: ab128874; dilution factor 1:500) to each well and incubate overnight at 4°C in the dark. After removing the original solution, wash each well three times with PBS solution. Then add 200 μL of anti-rabbit-FITC secondary antibody solution (product number: Beyotime A0562; dilution factor 1:360) to each well and incubate for 1 hour at room temperature in the dark. Subsequently, wash with PBS. Add 200 μL of DAPI solution (dilution factor 1:500) to each well and incubate for 15 minutes at room temperature in the dark. After removing the original solution, add 200 μL of PBS solution to each well for one wash. Image the prepared samples under a fluorescence confocal microscope.
[0222] 7. Immunoblotting experiment
[0223] Incubate the cells in groups using a six-well plate according to the experimental requirements. After they adhere to the wall, apply the drug in a timely manner. At the specified time point, remove the drug and culture medium incubated in the six-well plate. Add 1 mL of PBS solution to each well, pipette several times and then discard. Add 500 μL of 0.25% trypsin solution to each well and incubate at 37°C for 2 minutes. Add 500 μL of complete DMEM medium to each well, pipette and mix well to completely detach the cells. Collect the cell solution using a 1.5 mL EP tube and centrifuge for separation. Wash each well twice with 1 mL of PBS solution, and collect the washing solution into the EP tube each time and centrifuge for separation. Then aspirate the excess PBS solution in the EP tube until 50 μL remains, add 10 μL of 6×loading buffer, shake and mix well, and then activate at 95°C for 15 minutes. Store the samples at -20°C. For suspension cells, there is no need for trypsin digestion. Directly collect the culture medium and centrifuge for separation.
[0224] Use a commercial 10-well protein electrophoresis precast gel (4–15%) and precast gel electrophoresis solution. Sequentially add 5 μL of protein gradient Marker or 10–15 μL of protein sample solution into the electrophoresis wells. Set the electrophoresis instrument mode to constant voltage mode, with a voltage of 150 V and an electrophoresis time of 37 minutes. After electrophoresis is completed, take out the gel plate, separate it with a blade, and cut the gel at the 80 kDa band and 2 cm above and below it. Adopt the semi-dry transfer membrane method, and sequentially place from the positive electrode to the negative electrode: large filter paper (pre-saturated with transfer buffer), PVDF membrane (pre-activated with methanol), gel, large filter paper (the same as above). Set the transfer membrane instrument to constant current mode, with the current increasing by 0.1 A for every additional 16 square centimeters of PVDF membrane, and set the transfer membrane time to 40 minutes.
[0225] Place the PVDF membrane after transfer according to the protein bands in two culture dishes respectively, and add skim milk dissolved in 5% TBST to block for 1 hour. Pour it out, add anti-BRD4 or anti-tubulin primary antibody (dilution factor 1:1000) respectively, incubate overnight on a shaker, and supplement with an ice pack to keep it at a low temperature. Pour it out, rinse 3 times with 10% TBST solution, 15 minutes each time, then add anti-rabbit IgG or anti-mouse IgG secondary antibody solution (dilution factor 1:5000), incubate for 1 hour, and keep warm with an ice pack. Pour it out, rinse 3 times with 10% TBST solution, 15 minutes each time. Mix ECL chemiluminescent substrate solutions A and B in equal proportions, and in the dark, immerse the rinsed PVDF membrane in the ECL luminescent substrate for 5 minutes, then put it into an imager for exposure imaging, and the exposure time can vary from 10–90 seconds according to the protein content.
[0226] 8. Construction of tumor-bearing mice and related experimental methods
[0227] All animal experiments were conducted in accordance with the principles and procedures outlined in the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals and were approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee. All mice used were purchased from Vital River. The parts of this article involving mouse experiments can be operated with reference to this experimental method.
[0228] To construct a tumor model, implant HeLa cells (1×10 6 ) or B16F10 cells (1×10 6 ) into the right abdomen of Nu / Nu nude mice (for HeLa cells) or C57BL / 6N female mice (6–8 weeks old) in the form of 100 μL of PBS. For HeLa tumor mice, when the tumor grows to 200 mm 3 , the mice receive PBS (group a), TBS-JQ1(+)+2-fPBA-Thd (group b), TBS-JQ1(+)+2-fPBA-Thd+Phe-BF3 (Group c) or separate JQ1(+)-DAB-Thd (Group d) treatment. For Groups b and c, TBS-JQ1(+) (injection dose of 10 mg / kg) and 2-fPBA-Thd (dose of 20 mg / kg) were encapsulated in PLGA5k-PEG2k (1 mg / mL) and intravenously injected into mice. For Group c, Phe-BF 3 (dose of 30 mg / kg) was intravenously injected 24 hours and 48 hours after PLGA injection. For Group d, JQ1(+)-DAB-Thd (dose of 5 mg / kg) was encapsulated in PLGA5k-PEG2k (1 mg / mL) and intravenously injected into mice at the specified time. After three rounds of treatment, the mice were sacrificed, and tumor and small intestine sections were stained with anti-BRD4, hematoxylin-eosin (H&E), or anti-lysozyme.
[0229] To evaluate the concentration of JQ1(+)-DAB-Thd synthesized in HeLa tumors, for Groups b and c, tumor-bearing mice were treated according to the treatment protocol at one of the above doses. On the third day, the mice were sacrificed, the tumors were collected, quickly frozen in liquid nitrogen, ground into powder, and then extracted with methanol. After removing methanol, the precipitate was redissolved in acetonitrile, and the PROTAC concentration was quantified by standard methods.
[0230] For B16F10 tumor-bearing mice, when the tumor grew to 50 mm 3 , the mice received PBS (Group a), Phe-BF 3 (Group b), TBS&RGD@AuNPs (Group c), 2-fPBA&anti-CD3@AuNPs (Group d), mixed gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) (Group e), or mixed AuNPs + Phe-BF 3 (Group f) for administration. The doses of AuNPs and Phe-BF 3 were 5 mg / kg and 30 mg / kg, respectively (Phe-BF 3 was intravenously injected 24 hours and 36 hours after AuNPs injection).
[0231] For combination immunotherapy, mice with a tumor volume of 50 mm 3 received PBS (Group i), anti-PD-1 (Group ii), mixed AuNPs + Phe-BF 3 (Group iii), or mixed AuNPs + Phe-BF 3 + anti-PD-1 (Group iv) treatment. For Groups iii and iv, the doses of AuNPs and Phe-BF 3 were 5 mg / kg and 30 mg / kg, respectively. For Groups ii and iv, anti-PD-1 was intraperitoneally injected at a dose of 100 μg per mouse.
[0232] 9. Radioactive labeling experimental method
[0233] A DMSO solution of 3-amino-1-propanamine (10 mM, 7.5 μL) and a DMSO solution of p-NCS-Bz-DFO (10 mM, 5 μL) are first mixed together, and then diluted in a Na 2 CO 3 / NaHCO 3 buffer solution (pH = 9.0, 200 μL) and reacted at 37 °C for 1 hour. Without purification, the above solution is diluted with HEPES buffer (pH = 7.4, 500 μL) and mixed with 2 mCi of 89 Zr] oxalic acid solution and reacted at 37 °C for 30 to 60 minutes. Free 89 Zr] is removed by a short C18 column, and then 89 Zr-labeled N3-DFO is collected with 0.5 mL of ethanol. The above ethanol solution is mixed with TBS@AuNPs or 2-fPBA@AuNPs at 37 °C for 1 hour, and then an excess of N3-RGD or N3-CD3 is added to the reaction system respectively. Free peptides and N3-DFO are removed by centrifugation at 12000 g for 20 minutes three times. Finally, 89 Zr-labeled TBS&RGD@AuNPs and 2-fPBA&anti-CD3@AuNPs are obtained by resuspending the solid AuNPs.
[0234] 18 3 F]Phe-BF 18 F- 19 F isotope exchange (IEX) reaction for radiosynthesis.
[0235] PET / CT imaging studies are performed using a NanoPET / CT scanner . Subsequently, 100 - 200 μCi of 89 Zr-labeled AuNPs or 18 F-labeled Phe-BF 3 are injected into mice through the tail vein to observe their metabolism. Standard data acquisition and image reconstruction are performed in the PET data.
[0236] 10. Flow cytometry experimental method
[0237] Tumor tissues were obtained from B16F10 tumor model mice and treated with an enzyme mixture (collagenase type I and type IV, at a concentration of 1 mg / mL). After various treatments, the cells were filtered through a 70-μm nylon mesh. The resulting single-cell suspension was then centrifuged and washed with PBS containing 1% BSA. The collected cells were stained with the following fluorescent dye-labeled antibodies: anti-mouse CD3 antibody labeled with PE (BioLegend, clone 17A2, catalog no. 100205) and anti-mouse CD8a antibody labeled with APC (BioLegend, clone 53-6.7, catalog no. 100712). During FACS analysis, cell viability was detected using the LIVE / DEAD Fixable Near-IR Dead Cell Stain Kit (L10119, Invitrogen). Flow cytometry was performed using an LSR Fortessa cell analyzer (BD Biosciences), and data analysis was completed using FlowJo software.
[0238] IV. Examples
[0239] Example 1: Application of the desilylation-reconnection method in the targeted probe-mediated desilylation coupling reaction
[0240] Referring to (7) in the exemplary chemical synthesis method in the experimental method of Part III above, the reaction process was studied. The results are as Figure 4 shown, where (a) is a schematic structural diagram of the desilylation-reconnection reaction, (b) is the UPLC kinetic diagram of the reaction of TBS-DSA with 2-fPBA triggered by the targeting probe Phe-BF 3 , (c) is the decline curve of the TBS-DSA substrate and the production curve of the DAB-DSA product, (d) is the stability UPLC diagram of TBS-DSA and equivalent 2-fPBA in the PBS / DMSO system, and (e) is the table of the single desilylation rate constant and the comprehensive apparent rate constant of the desilylation-reconnection reaction.
[0241] It can be seen from Figure 4 that under the trigger of Phe-BF 3 , TBS-DSA gradually disappeared and the product DAB-DSA gradually formed. During this process, no derivatives of phenylhydrazine were observed, indicating that the rate-determining step of this stepwise reaction is the desilylation step, and the desilylated product immediately reacts with 2-fPBA to irreversibly form the cyclized product DAB-DSA.
[0242] Furthermore, the present disclosure analyzed the kinetic decline curve of the TBS-DSA substrate and the kinetic generation curve of the DAB-DSA product. The rate constant of the substrate decline, which is also the rate constant of the desilylation reaction, was calculated to be 0.044 ± 0.0015 M -1 s -1 by fitting with GraphPad Prism software. Additionally, the rate constant of the DAB-DSA product generation, which is also the comprehensive apparent rate constant of the desilylation and reconnection reaction, was 0.039 ± 0.0014 M -1 s -1 . The two are almost the same, which more fully indicates that the first desilylation process is the rate-determining step. Considering that the reaction rate constant of the Phe-BF 3 desilylation reaction has an order-of-magnitude difference compared with the reaction of phenylhydrazine and 2-fPBA, this result also conforms to the experimental expectation.
[0243] Example 2: Stability experiments of unprotected phenylhydrazine and TBS-protected phenylhydrazine
[0244] Stability experiments were respectively conducted on unprotected phenylhydrazine and TBS-protected phenylhydrazine, and the test methods are as follows:
[0245] Unprotected phenylhydrazine and TBS-protected phenylhydrazine (100 μM) were respectively dissolved in PBS. Samples were taken at the test time points and dissolved in an aqueous solution of 1 mM 2-fPBA. After shaking well for 20 - 30 seconds, UPLC characterization was performed. Quantitative analysis of the generated product or raw material peaks was carried out to obtain the stability data.
[0246] The results of the stability experiment are as Figure 5 shown. The results indicate that the silyl protection strategy can significantly improve the stability of phenylhydrazine (one of the synthons for the coupling reaction). The introduction of TBS silyl ether-protected phenol can achieve controllable "caging" of phenylhydrazine through a carbamate linker. It was experimentally found that unprotected phenylhydrazine decomposed rapidly in PBS, and nearly 54% of unprotected phenylhydrazine decomposed after 12 hours, while the stability of TBS-protected phenylhydrazine remained above 95%. Calculations showed that the half-life of unprotected phenylhydrazine was 8.2 ± 0.93 hours, while the half-life could be extended to more than 100 hours after TBS protection. The improved stability will greatly enrich the application scenarios of phenylhydrazine and lay a foundation for subsequent experiments.
[0247] Example 3: Application of the desilylation and reconnection method in the fluorescence controllable labeling and cell imaging of antibodies
[0248] In this example, HeLa cells were used as an example for research. The experiment was divided into four groups. Group i was used as a control group without treatment. Group ii was pretreated with NaF and could be regarded as monoclonal antibody Cetuximab modified with unprotected phenylhydrazine. The purpose of setting this group was to study whether unprotected phenylhydrazine could achieve cell labeling. Group iii, that is, the experimental group, was used to verify the feasibility of controllable labeling imaging. Group iv labeled FITC fluorescein on monoclonal antibody Cetuximab in a test tube as the positive control group. The specific operation methods are as follows:
[0249] Group i: (1) Cell preparation: Inoculate cells in the logarithmic growth phase at a density of 1×10 5 cells / well in a 6-well plate and culture at 37°C / 5% CO 2 until 80% confluence; (2) Reagent preparation: Dissolve TBS-Cetuximab (final concentration 50 nM) and 2-fPBA-FITC (final concentration 10 μM) in pre-warmed medium; (3) Pretreatment: Remove the original medium, add 2 mL of medium containing the mixed reagents, and incubate in the dark at 37°C / 5% CO 2 for 12 h. (4) Termination treatment: Wash 3 times with PBS, replace with complete medium for fluorescence imaging detection, and operate in the dark throughout the process to prevent fluorescence quenching.
[0250] Group ii: Premix TBS-Cetuximab (10 μM) and NaF (5 mM) in serum-free medium for 12 hours, and then perform co-incubation and subsequent treatments according to the steps of Group i.
[0251] Group iii: Dissolve TBS-Cetuximab (final concentration 50 nM), 2-fPBA-FITC (final concentration 10 μM), and Phe-BF 3 (final concentration 1 mM) in pre-warmed medium, and then perform co-incubation and subsequent treatments according to the steps of Group i.
[0252] Group iv: Premix TBS-Cetuximab (10 μM), 2-fPBA-FITC (20 μM), and NaF (5 mM) in serum-free medium for 12 hours, and then incubate the cells and perform subsequent treatments according to the steps of Group i.
[0253] In addition, the chemical post-modification method of the antibody, the fluorescence labeling test method of the antibody, and the immunofluorescence experiment method refer to Parts 4-6 of the experimental method in the aforementioned Section III.
[0254] The experimental results are as Figure 6 shown. The results show that the desilylation and reconnection method can act on the fluorescence controllable labeling of antibodies and finally be applied to cell imaging.
[0255] Example 4: Application of the desilylation and reconnection method in cell screening
[0256] To verify that the desilication reconnection method can be used in cell screening, the inventors designed an experiment for selective imaging of HT-1080 FAP-positive cells. The immunofluorescence experimental method refers to Example 3, and different-channel fluorescence imaging results are added compared with Example 3.
[0257] In the control group, cells were incubated with TBS-Sibrotuzumab and 2-fPBA-FITC; in the experimental group, cells were treated with TBS-Sibrotuzumab, 2-fPBA-FITC and Phe-BF 3 to co-treat HT-1080 mixed cells. The RB channel in both groups represents cells incubated with rhodamine B (RB)-prelabeled Sibrotuzumab. The role of rhodamine B (RB)-prelabeled Sibrotuzumab is to pre-screen FAP-positive cells for positive reference.
[0258] Control group: (1) Cell preparation: Logarithmic growth phase cells including HT-1080 FAP-positive cells and HT-1080 wild-type cells, i.e., FAP-negative cells, were mixed and seeded in a 6-well plate at a density of 1×10 5 cells / well, and cultured at 37°C / 5% CO 2 until 80% confluence; (2) Reagent preparation: Rhodamine B (RB)-prelabeled Sibrotuzumab (final concentration 50 nM), TBS-Sibrotuzumab (final concentration 50 nM) and 2-fPBA-FITC (final concentration 10 μM) were dissolved in pre-warmed medium; (3) Pretreatment: The original medium was removed, and 2 mL of medium containing the mixed reagents was added, and incubated at 37°C / 5% CO 2 in the dark for 12 h. (4) Termination treatment: Washed 3 times with PBS, replaced with complete medium for fluorescence imaging detection, and the operation was carried out in the dark throughout to prevent fluorescence quenching.
[0259] Experimental group: On the basis of the control group, Phe-BF with a final concentration of 1 mM was co-incubated 3 , and then the cells were incubated and subsequent treatments were carried out according to the steps of the control group. The experimental results are as Figure 7 shown, where (a) is the flow chart of this example; (b) is the fluorescence imaging map of different channels; (c) is the quantitative analysis of the fluorescence intensity of the FITC channel in (b) (n = 20, mean ± standard error); where, I: HT-1080 wild-type cells in the control group, II: HT-1080 FAP-positive cells in the control group, III: HT-1080 wild-type cells in the Phe-BF 3 group (i.e., the experimental group), IV: HT1080 FAP-positive cells in the Phe-BF 3 group.
[0260] Figure 7 The results indicate that the desilylation-reconnection method can effectively distinguish HT-1080 FAP-positive cells from negative cells.
[0261] Example 5: Application of the desilylation-reconnection method in in situ generation of PROTAC
[0262] (1) Mode of action
[0263] The inventors achieved in situ synthesis of PROTAC using the desilylation-reconnection method, and the reaction route is as Figure 8 shown. It should be noted that the reaction product of in situ generation of PROTAC in this example is the same as the product in (5) of the first part of the exemplary chemical synthesis method in the above Part III, except that in this example, Phe-BF 3 was used to trigger the reaction of TBS-protected JQ1(+) with 2-fPBA, and the reaction can be completed in one step under physiological conditions.
[0264] (2) Interaction forces between JQ1(+) and its derivatives and BRD4 target protein
[0265] The inventors performed molecular docking simulations on the interaction forces between JQ1(+) and its derivatives and BRD4 protein. Among them, the immunofluorescence experimental method refers to the sixth part of the experimental methods in the above Part III. The evaluation diagrams are as Figure 9 shown, where (A)–(C) are two-dimensional schematic diagrams of the interaction forces of JQ1(+), JQ1(+)-DAB-Thd, and TBS-NHNH-JQ1(+) with the core pocket region of BRD4 protein in the MOE molecular docking, (D) is the fluorescence polarization diagram of JQ1(+) and its derivatives competing with JQ1(+)-FAM fluorescently labeled molecule to inhibit BRD4, (E) is the statistical table of the interaction forces after molecular docking of JQ1(+) and its derivatives with BRD4 target protein in the core region, and (F) is the statistical table of the IC50 values of JQ1(+) and its derivatives competing to inhibit the half concentration of BRD4 target protein.
[0266] *N20 and NAP40 are the names of the same backbone nitrogen atoms of JQ1(+)-DAB-Thd and JQ1(+), respectively.
[0267] The experiment found that all three compounds have binding forces with BRD4, but there are differences, as Figure 9As shown, there are four simulated interaction sites between JQ1(+) and BRD4 protein. Among them, three coincide with those between JQ1(+)-DAB-Thd and BRD4 protein, and the interaction positions are concentrated in the aromatic ring region of the JQ1(+) backbone and the three sites of the protein receptor Asn140, Pro82, and Ile146 (light orange region). Due to the large steric hindrance and strong hydrophobicity of the TBS protecting group, only three interactions are fitted for TBS-NHNH-JQ1(+), and there is no overlap with the fitting of JQ1(+) (light blue region).
[0268] Steps of the simulated docking experiment:
[0269] The CRBN protein (PDB code: 4CI1) and BRD4 protein (PDB code: 3MXF) are obtained from the PDB database (https: / / www.rcsb.org / ). The conformations of JQ1-DAB-Thd or other molecules are randomly searched by LowModeMD to generate the csearch.mdb file. In the PROTAC plugin of the MOE 2020 software, the Method 4B method is used to generate the csearch.mdb file. Select the Method 4B method in the PROTAC-related plugin of the MOE 2020 software. First, perform protein-protein docking on the CRBN protein and BRD4 protein, and then combine the aforementioned conformation search file as a parameter file for three-body interaction docking.
[0270] To further evaluate the binding affinity of JQ1(+) and its three derivative compounds to the BRD4 protein, in this example, JQ1(+) modified with 5-carboxyfluorescein molecule (5-Carboxyfluorescein, FAM), denoted as JQ1(+)-FAM, is selected to test the binding behavior. The modification method can refer to, for example: Divakaran, A et al., Molecular Basis for the N-Terminal Bromodomain-and-Extra-Terminal-Family Selectivity of a Dual Kinase–Bromodomain Inhibitor. J. Med. Chem. 2018, 61(20), 9316-9334.
[0271] When this molecule binds to BRD4, the molecular vibration is affected, so there will be a higher fluorescence polarization value. When it is competitively excluded by other molecules, it will return to the free state, and at this time the fluorescence polarization value is weak. Based on this principle, in this example, the fluorescence polarization curves of different concentrations of JQ1(+) and its derivatives competing with the JQ1(+)-FAM fluorescently labeled molecule to inhibit BRD4 are studied ( Figure 9in D), from Figure 9 It can be analyzed that the blue JQ1(+) basically coincides with the red JQ1(+)-DAB-Thd, and the green TBS-NHNH-JQ1(+) is generally larger.
[0272] Fluorescence polarization method:
[0273] FAM-modified JQ1(+) and BRD4 protein were co-incubated with different concentrations of JQ1(+), TBS-JQ1(+), JQ1(+)-DAB-Thd or JQ1(-) for 1 hour. Then, they were transferred to a 384-well plate, and the fluorescence polarization value was measured by a multimode microplate reader. The excitation wavelength was selected as 485 nm, and the emission wavelength was selected as 535 nm. All molecules were dissolved in a buffer containing 50 mM HEPES, 100 mM NaCl and 4 mM CHAPS (pH 7.4). The final concentrations of BRD4 and FAM-JQ1(+) were 60 nM and 50 nM, respectively.
[0274] Half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC 50 ) results showed that JQ1(+) was 89 ± 21 nM, JQ1(+)-DAB-Thd was 93 ± 22 nM, and there was almost no difference between them. While TBS-NHNH-JQ1(+) was 206 ± 59 nM, which was 2.3 times that of JQ1(+). This indicates that although carrying a complete target molecule, introducing TBS silane can still widen the gap, demonstrating the universality of the silane protection strategy.
[0275] (3) Phe-BF 3 Role and efficiency in controllable degradation of target proteins
[0276] The inventors further evaluated the role and efficiency of Phe-BF in controllable degradation of target proteins by Western blotting technology. 3 The Western blotting experimental method can refer to the 7th part of the Western blotting experiment in the above-mentioned Part III.
[0277] First, in this example, the content of BRD4 protein in HeLa and MV4-11 cells treated with different concentrations of JQ1(+)-DAB-Thd was tested. The test method can refer to the 7th part of the Western blotting experiment in the above-mentioned Part III. As Figure 10As shown, the study found that JQ1(+)-DAB-Thd degraded 69% of the target protein at 100 nM in human cervical cancer HeLa cells and 58% of the target protein at only 1 nM in human acute monocytic cancer MV4-11 cells, showing a significant difference between the two. DC50 (the concentration causing 50% degradation of the target protein) analysis showed that JQ1(+)-DAB-Thd was 48 ± 17 nM and 0.5 ± 0.2 nM in HeLa and MV4-11, respectively.
[0278] This example further found that the ability of JQ1(+)-DAB-Thd to degrade BRD4 in HeLa and MV4-11 was increased by 1.9 times and 186 times, respectively, compared to its binding ability in vitro, which additionally demonstrated that PROTAC catalyzes protein degradation intracellularly ( Figure 10 ), and the test method can refer to the immunoblot experiment in Part 7 of Section III above.
[0279] The content of BRD4 in HeLa and MV4-11 cells treated with different binary components was further tested. The data showed that different mixed groups composed of TBS-NHNH-JQ1(+), 2-fPBA-Thd, and Phe-BF 3 could not degrade the target protein. Only JQ1(+)-DAB-Thd generated by the reaction of Phe-BF 3 mediating the desilylation of TBS-NHNH-JQ1(+) and reacting with 2-fPBA-Thd could effectively degrade the target protein ( Figure 10 ).
[0280] Example 6: Application of the desilylation and reconnection method in the in-situ synthesis of cell-targeted nanogels
[0281] (1) Phe-BF 3 can recruit T cells to attack tumors by assembling gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) decorated with cell-targeting peptides
[0282] A kind of gold nanoparticle (AuNPs) constructed in this example was modified with DBCO-PEG5k-SH, NH2-PEGk-SH, and mPEG5k-SH on its surface. The modification method refers to Part 2 of the experimental methods in Section III above. The synthesis method refers to the synthesis method of the exemplary gold nanoparticle material in Part 2 of Section III above.
[0283] Figure 11 It was demonstrated that the desilylation and reconnection method can be used for the in-situ synthesis of cell-targeted nanogels. It can bind two different types of cells (such as cancer cells and T cells) and act like a bispecific T cell engager (BiTE), that is, by redirecting the patient's immune T cells to attack cancer cells.
[0284] "2-fPBA" or "TBS" is covalently linked to AuNPs through amidation, while the azide-modified polypeptides targeting tumor antigen RGD and T cell receptor CD3 can be linked to the surface of AuNPs through "click chemistry", endowing it with the ability to target cells. Transmission electron microscopy data shows that after being triggered by Phe-BF 3 the hybrid AuNPs aggregated, and the corresponding size increased from 80 nm to the final 350 nm.
[0285] (2) In-situ synthesis of nanogels can occur at the cellular level
[0286] The experimental method of this example is as follows:
[0287] After euthanizing the mice, the spleen was removed under sterile conditions, placed in a Petri dish containing PBS, ground with a syringe piston, passed through a 70 μm cell sieve, and a single-cell suspension was collected. Subsequently, red blood cell lysis was performed: ACK buffer (5 mL / spleen) was added, lysed at room temperature for 5 minutes, centrifuged (300×g, 5 minutes), and the supernatant was discarded. Subsequently, CD3+ T cells were purified using a magnetic bead sorting kit (Pan T Cell Isolation Kit).
[0288] In this example, the T lymphocytes isolated from the mouse spleen were co-cultured with tumor cells. After 48 hours of grouping and drug administration, the cells were treated with a cell scraper, fixed with a cell fixative, and then subjected to electron microscopy analysis and particle size analysis.
[0289] Figure 12 The example shows that in-situ synthesis of nanogels can occur at the cellular level. The average diameter of AuNPs in the experimental group was 457.7 nm, which was 4.82 times that of the treatment with hybrid AuNPs alone. In addition, in this example, recruited T cells were detected by TEM, and it was observed that after treatment with hybrid AuNPs and Phe-BF 3 for 24 hours, the number of T cells around the tumor cells increased significantly under an optical microscope.
[0290] (3) The recruited T cells can be activated and have the ability to attack cancer cells
[0291] This example was carried out separately:
[0292] (a) Calcein-AM and propidium iodide (PI) staining experiments on cells treated with hybrid AuNPs and Phe-BF 3 respectively for 48 hours: Prepare the Calcein-AM and propidium iodide stock solutions in advance, and mix them in proportion to form a double-staining working solution. Set two control groups, namely T lymphocytes incubated with hybrid AuNPs (density 1×10 6(cells / well) and tumor cells (density 1×10 5 cells / well) co-culture group and mixed AuNPs+Phe-BF 3 double-cell co-culture group. After 48 hours, wash the supernatant medium, then incubate the cells with the double-staining working solution for about 30 min. Subsequently, aspirate the staining solution and gently wash the cells with PBS twice, and then fluorescence microscopy imaging can be used for recording, and the images are analyzed using Image J.
[0293] (b) Survival rate experiment of B16F10 after being treated with T cells, mixed AuNPs and Phe-BF 3 respectively within 48 hours: The protocol is the same as above. After 48-hour incubation, wash the supernatant medium, add 10% concentration of CCK8 working solution, and measure the absorbance of different experimental groups to calculate the corresponding survival rate.
[0294] The results are as Figure 13 shown, demonstrating that the recruited T cells can be activated and have the ability to attack cancer cells.
[0295] (4) Tumor targeting and pharmacokinetic properties of gold nanoparticles and small molecule Phe-BF 3
[0296] The experimental operation methods can refer to Parts 8 and 9 in the aforementioned Part III.
[0297] Among them, the synthesis methods of TBS&RGD@AuNP complex and 2-fPBA&CD3@AuNP complex refer to the synthesis method of exemplary materials in Part 2 of Part III, the mouse experiments refer to Part 8 in the aforementioned Part III, and the radioactive labeling experimental method refers to Part 9 in the aforementioned Part III.
[0298] Figure 14 The results show that there are significant differences in their metabolic behaviors. The nanomaterials are mainly metabolized by the liver, and the small molecule activator is mainly metabolized by the kidney. The two have the largest overlap at the tumor site, ensuring controllable activation of tissue selectivity.
[0299] (5) In-situ synthesis of nanogel only occurs in tumor tissues
[0300] For the related mouse experiments, refer to Part 8 in the aforementioned Part III. Among them, after one round of drug administration, the mice in group e (the control group in this example) and group f (the experimental group in this example) related to B16F10 tumor-bearing mice are sacrificed. The liver and tumor tissues of the two groups of mice are fixed with tissue fixative (fixed at 4°C for 2 - 4 hours), then processed by embedding and sectioning, and loaded on copper grids, and further stained for cells / structures to enhance the contrast. Finally, data are collected by photographing with a transmission electron microscope. The results are asFigure 15 As shown, it indicates that the in-situ synthesis of nanoadhesive only occurs in tumor tissues, demonstrating the excellent selectivity of this technology.
[0301] Example 7: Role of the desilication and reconnection method in precise anti-tumor
[0302] In this example, the combined immunotherapy process plan was designed and optimized, and the flow cytometry experimental method referred to Part 10 of the above-mentioned Part III. Specifically, the combined treatment plan is as Figure 16 shown in a. Seven days before administration, 2×10 5 B16F10 cells were subcutaneously injected into the right shoulder of C57 mice. Seven days later, when the tumor was formed (about 50 mm 3 ), four groups were divided according to Part 10 of the above-mentioned Part III: PBS (group i), anti-PD-1 (group ii), mixed AuNPs + Phe-BF 3 (group iii) or mixed AuNPs + Phe-BF 3 + anti-PD-1 (group iv). The administration cycle was as follows: on day 0, AuNPs were injected (dose: 5 mg / kg), and on the next day, Phe-BF 3 was injected (dose: 30 mg / kg, 2 times, at an interval of 12 h). The first-round plan was repeated on days 2&3 and days 4&5. On days 5, 6, and 7, anti-PD-1 was intraperitoneally injected at a dose of 100 μg per mouse. After seven days, the drug administration was stopped, and parameters such as the tumor volume of the mice were continuously observed.
[0303] The results are as Figure 16 shown.
[0304] The proportions of CD3+CD8+ double-positive cytotoxic T cells in the combined treatment group and the single-drug treatment group were 5.6% and 1.4% respectively, while those in other groups were less than 0.5%. In addition, the B16F10 tumor is considered a "cold" tumor, which also means that it is usually resistant to immune checkpoint inhibitors such as anti-PD1. The D2L strategy demonstrated in this example can activate the immune response of cold tumors to immune checkpoint inhibitors. It was experimentally found that when T lymphocytes were activated by AuNP assembly, the combined treatment with anti-PD-1 antibody led to a significant reduction in tumor volume.
