Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of biomedicine and molecular biology, and specifically relates to the application of KRAS in regulating fatty acid metabolism in chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Background Art
[0002] The information disclosed in the background of the invention is only intended to enhance the understanding of the overall background of the invention and should not be necessarily regarded as an acknowledgment or any form of suggestion that the information constitutes the prior art already known to a person skilled in the art.
[0003] Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a hematological malignancy characterized by clonal proliferation of mature B lymphocytes. Its signature immune markers include CD19, CD5, CD20, CD23, κ, and λ. In recent years, significant progress has been made in the treatment of CLL. Targeted drugs represented by Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase (BTK) inhibitors, BCL-2 inhibitors, and PI3K inhibitors have significantly improved the prognosis of patients. However, drug-resistant relapse and immune microenvironment-mediated treatment resistance are still clinical problems that need to be solved urgently. It is crucial to deeply analyze the regulatory mechanism of CLL malignant progression.
[0004] The molecular genetic heterogeneity of CLL is the core driving factor for the differences in its clinical outcomes. Common molecular genetic abnormalities include chromosomal abnormalities such as del(17p), del(11q), del(13q), +12, and gene mutations such as TP53, NOTCH1, and SF3B1. However, the genetic landscape of CLL still cannot fully explain its heterogeneous progression. In recent years, the pivotal role of metabolic reprogramming has gradually attracted attention. Unlike the abnormal glucose metabolism dominated by the Warburg effect in solid tumors, lipid metabolic reprogramming regulates the occurrence and development of CLL in multiple dimensions. On the one hand, CLL cell survival and proliferation are highly dependent on fatty acid oxidation (FAO) for energy supply. On the other hand, signaling molecules such as prostaglandins derived from lipid peroxidation can inhibit T cell anti-tumor immunity and induce immune escape microenvironment. Revealing the genetic basis of CLL metabolic reprogramming has become the key to breaking through the existing treatment bottleneck.
[0005] The oncogene KRAS is a core member of the RAS / MAPK signaling pathway, and its mutation has been widely confirmed in solid tumors to regulate the metabolic phenotype of cancer. However, the metabolic regulatory function of KRAS mutation in hematological tumors, especially CLL, is still rarely studied. Summary of the invention
[0006] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the object of the present invention is to provide the application of KRAS in regulating fatty acid metabolism in chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Specifically, the present invention for the first time reveals through research that KRAS G13D mutation regulates the fatty acid oxidation and malignant progression of CLL and its mechanism, reveals the relationship between KRAS mutation and CLL progression from the perspective of energy metabolism, and proposes that KRAS G13D mutation promotes the fatty acid oxidation and proliferation activity enhancement of CLL cells by upregulating PIK3C2A to activate the downstream PI3K / AKT / mTOR signaling pathway. PI3K inhibitors have been applied to the treatment of relapsed and refractory CLL. However, this study found that KRAS G13D mutant CLL cells showed a tendency to be resistant to PI3K inhibitors, and the combined application of KRAS inhibitors could improve the therapeutic effect of PI3K inhibitors.

[0050] The above - mentioned technical solutions have systematically elucidated for the first time the biological significance of KRAS G13D mutation in CLL and its molecular mechanism promoting disease progression. The KRAS G13D mutation is a hot - spot mutation of the KRAS gene in CLL patients. Although its mutation frequency in CLL is low, it is significantly associated with poor prognosis of patients. This study found that KRAS G13D mutation significantly promotes the proliferation and fatty acid oxidation activity of CLL cells. At the molecular mechanism level, we found that KRAS G13D mutation activates the PI3K / AKT / mTOR signaling pathway by up - regulating the expression of PIK3C2A, thereby enhancing fatty acid oxidation and promoting the proliferation of CLL cells. In addition, KRAS G13DThe mutation also significantly inhibits the sensitivity of CLL cells to PI3K inhibitor drugs. When the KRAS inhibitor BI-2865 and the PIK3C2A inhibitor MIPS-21335 are used in combination, the activity of KRAS G13D CLL cells is significantly reduced, suggesting that dual inhibition targeting KRAS and PI3K may exert a stronger anti-tumor effect by synergistically blocking signal crosstalk. These findings start from fatty acid metabolism, reveal the relationship between KRAS mutation and CLL progression, and provide clues for further understanding the mechanism of CLL occurrence and development and developing new clinical targeted treatment strategies.

[0090] 1.2 Transcriptome Sequencing and Bioinformatics Analysis
[0091] The wild-type KRAS and KRAS G13D mutant MEC1 cell lines were respectively subjected to Illumina transcriptome sequencing to obtain the RNA expression profiles of the two groups of cells.

[0125] 2.1 KRAS G13D is a high-frequency mutation site in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia
[0126] To clarify the mutation characteristics of the KRAS gene in chronic lymphocytic leukemia, a total of 3,205 CLL patients who underwent whole-genome sequencing or next-generation sequencing were included in this study. Analysis of the KRAS mutation spectrum in the patients found that the overall mutation frequency of the KRAS gene in CLL was low, and CLL patients carrying KRAS mutations accounted for only 3.71% (119 / 3,205) of all the patients included in the study, but there was significant site heterogeneity. As shown in Table 2, among the 127 detected KRAS mutation sites, the G13D (p.Gly13Asp) site mutation had the highest proportion (29.13%, 37 / 127), which was significantly higher than other hot-spot mutations such as G12D (16.54%) or Q61H (0.79%). The analysis results showed that KRAS G13D mutations showed specific high-frequency mutations in CLL patients. Based on this, it was speculated that KRAS G13D had the potential to be a specific therapeutic target for CLL. Therefore, this study will mainly explore the impact of KRAS G13D mutations on the occurrence and development of CLL.

[0130] 2.2 KRAS G13D mutations promote the proliferation of chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells
[0131] To clarify the involvement of KRAS mutations in the occurrence and development of CLL, KRAS WT (KRAS wildt ype, wild-type KRAS) and KRASG13D Mutant plasmids were transfected into CLL cell lines MEC1, EHEB and primary CLL cells. The cell proliferation activities were detected by CCK-8 assay at 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours respectively. The detection results showed that KRAS G13D mutation significantly promoted the proliferation of CLL cells. Compared with the KRAS WT group, the proliferation activities of MEC1 cells transfected with KRAS G13D ( Figure 1 A) increased by 1.3-fold, 1.3-fold and 1.1-fold at 24h, 48h and 72h respectively (p < 0.05); the proliferation activities of EHEB cells( Figure 1 B) showed a similar trend at the same time points (24h: 1.5-fold; 48h: 1.4-fold; 72h: 1.2-fold, p < 0.05). In primary CLL cells, compared with KRAS WT cells, the proliferation activity of KRAS G13D mutant cells also showed an increasing trend and was significantly higher than that of KRAS WT CLL cells at multiple time points. The difference in the proliferation activities of the two groups of Pt#3 primary cells persisted until 72h( Figure 1 C-E).
[0132] BI-2865 is a recently published non-covalent pan-KRAS inhibitor that effectively inhibits the activation of wild-type KRAS and various KRAS mutants by blocking nucleotide exchange, with an average IC50 of approximately 140 nM and dissociation constants of only 4.5 nM and 4.3 nM for G12D and G13D mutants, respectively, showing extremely high affinity. To further verify the effect of KRAS mutation on the proliferation of CLL cells, CLL cells were treated with the KRAS inhibitor BI-2865 at drug concentration gradients of 0 μM, 0.01 μM, 0.1 μM, 1 μM, and 10 μM, and then the 24-hour proliferation activities of KRAS WT , KRAS G13D CLL cells were detected by CCK-8 assay respectively. The analysis results found that BI-2865 inhibited the proliferation of CLL cells, and the inhibitory effect was concentration-dependent, among which the inhibitory effect on the proliferation of CLL cells with KRAS G13D mutation was more significant( Figure 2 ). The above results indicate that KRAS G13D mutation can promote the proliferation of CLL cells, suggesting its potential driving role in disease progression.
[0133] 2.3 KRAS G13D mutation enhances the fatty acid oxidation level of chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells
[0134] As mentioned above, KRAS regulates fatty acid oxidation in a variety of solid tumors, and the survival and proliferation of CLL cells highly depend on energy supply from fatty acid oxidation. To explore whether there is fatty acid metabolic reprogramming in the regulation of CLL cell proliferation activity by KRAS G13D mutation, plasmids of KRAS WT and KRAS G13D were constructed and transfected into CLL cell lines MEC1, EHEB and primary CLL cells. The transcriptional levels of CPT1A, CPT2, ACLS1, ACOX1 and HADHA were detected by PCR experiments respectively. As Figure 3 shown, KRAS G13D mutation significantly up-regulated the expression of CPT1A, CPT2 and ACOX1 in CLL cells and down-regulated the expression of ACSL3 in MEC1 cells and EHEB cells (p < 0.05). The expression of HADHA was significantly down-regulated in EHEB cells (p < 0.01), and there was also a downward trend in MEC1 cells.
[0135] As Figure 4 shown, the detection results of primary cells were basically consistent with those of MEC1 cells and EHEB cells. The expressions of CPT1A and ACOX1 were significantly increased in KRAS G13D mutant cells (p < 0.05), and the expressions of ACSL3 and HADHA showed a decreasing trend in KRAS G13D mutant cells. Among them, the expression of ACSL3 was significantly down-regulated in KRAS G13D mutant Pt#1 primary cells (p < 0.05). The above results suggest that compared with KRAS WT CLL cells, fatty acid transport and mitochondrial-dependent fatty acid β-oxidation are enhanced in KRAS G13D mutant CLL cells.
[0136] To clarify the regulatory effect of KRAS G13D mutation on fatty acid oxidation in CLL cells, an extracellular oxygen consumption assay kit was used to detect the oxygen consumption of KRAS WT , KRAS G13D mutant MEC1 and primary CLL cells. It was found that compared with KRAS WT cells, the oxygen consumption of KRAS G13D mutant cells showed an increasing trend. In primary CLL cells, the oxygen consumption of KRAS G13D mutant cells was much higher than that of KRAS WT cells in the later stage ([[]] Figure 5 B-D, p < 0.001), proving that compared with KRAS WT cells, the metabolic energy production of KRAS G13D mutant CLL cells was significantly increased.
[0137] Further, a fatty acid oxidation assay kit was used to detect KRAS WT and KRAS G13D levels of fatty acid oxidation in CLL cells. By comparing the initial slope of fluorescence intensity changes to assess basal fatty acid oxidation activity, it was found that compared with KRAS WT cells, fatty acid oxidation in KRAS G13D cells was significantly enhanced ( Figure 6 , p < 0.01). In summary, KRAS G13D mutation mediates enhanced fatty acid oxidation in CLL cells and promotes the proliferation and survival of CLL cells.
[0138] 2.4 KRAS G13D mutation activates the PI3K pathway in chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells
[0139] To explore the mechanism by which KRAS G13D mutation mediates enhanced fatty acid oxidation levels in CLL cells and thereby promotes the proliferation of CLL cells, MEC1 cells were transfected with KRAS WT and KRAS G13D plasmids respectively. Cells were collected for transcriptome sequencing and differential expression analysis. The results of differential expression analysis are shown in Figure 7 A. Compared with KRAS WT CLL cells, 248 genes were significantly upregulated and 293 genes were significantly downregulated in KRAS G13D -mutated CLL cells, with a total of 541 genes showing significant differences in expression. Among them, genes related to the PI3K / AKT pathway such as PIK3C2A and AKT3, and genes related to tumor lipid metabolism reprogramming such as NGFR, EFNA3, and EGF were significantly upregulated in KRAS G13D -mutated CLL cells. ssGSEA analysis was performed on the gene expression sequences of KRAS WT and KRAS G13D -mutated MEC1 cells respectively. The results showed that compared with KRAS WT cells, there were significant differences in the gene expression of 9 fatty acid metabolism-related pathways such as fatty acid cycle, fatty acid synthesis, long-chain fatty acid transport activity, and unsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis in KRAS G13D -mutated cells ( Figure 7 B). The results of GO enrichment analysis showed that the differentially expressed genes in KRAS G13D -mutated CLL cells were significantly enriched in pathways such as phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) binding, fatty acid derivative binding, and cholesterol storage ( Figure 7 C).
[0140] Result 2.3 has demonstrated through extracellular oxygen consumption experiments and fatty acid oxidation level determination experiments that KRAS G13D mutant CLL cells have significantly enhanced fatty acid oxidation compared to KRAS WT cells. Meanwhile, the results of transcriptome bioinformatics analysis suggest that KRAS G13D mutation upregulates PIK3C2A in CLL cells, potentially activating the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway. Recent studies have found that PI3K-AKT and its downstream effector pathways mediate fatty acid metabolic reprogramming in various tumors, promoting tumorigenesis and progression by regulating fatty acid uptake, synthesis, and oxidation. PIK3C2A encodes the type II PI3K kinase PI3K-C2α (phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit type 2alpha), which is a regulator of membrane trafficking in endocytosis, endosomal recycling, and autophagy, regulating the phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate (PI3P) lipid pool and lipid membrane morphology. Combining the above research results, it can be speculated that KRAS G13D mutation may promote the proliferation and survival of CLL cells by upregulating the expression of PIK3C2A in CLL cells, mediating the activation of the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway and enhancing fatty acid oxidation. Therefore, to further clarify the regulatory effect of KRAS G13D mutation on the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway in CLL cells, the expression of PIK3C2A in KRAS WT and KRAS G13D mutant CLL cells was detected by PCR, which was consistent with the transcriptome sequencing results. Whether in MEC1 cells ( Figure 8 A), EHEB cells ( Figure 8 B) or primary CLL cells ( Figure 8 C-D), the expression of PIK3C2A in KRAS G13D mutant CLL cells was significantly higher than that in KRAS WT CLL cells. The above results suggest that KRAS G13D mutation upregulates PIK3C2A in CLL cells, activating the PI3K pathway.
[0141] 2.5 KRAS G13D Upregulation of PIK3C2A Activates the PI3K / AKT / mTOR Signaling Pathway in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Cells
[0142] Recent studies have found that the PI3K / Akt / mTOR signaling pathway mediates tumor fatty acid metabolic reprogramming, enhancing metabolic processes such as fatty acid uptake, storage, and cholesterol efflux. Therefore, we regard the PI3K / Akt / mTOR signaling pathway as the main effector pathway by which KRAS G13D mutation upregulates PIK3C2A to promote enhanced fatty acid oxidation in CLL cells. To verify the activation of the PI3K / Akt / mTOR signaling pathway by KRAS G13D mutation in CLL cells, CLL cells with KRAS WT and KRAS G13D mutation were collected, and the protein expressions of PI3K-2α, AKT, phosphorylated AKT, mTOR, and phosphorylated mTOR were detected by Western Blot. As Figure 9 shown, compared with KRAS WT CLL cells, the expressions of PI3K-2α (191 kDa), AKT (60 kDa), mTOR (289 kDa), phosphorylated AKT (56 kDa), and mTOR (289 kDa) were significantly enhanced in KRAS G13D mutant CLL cells. In addition, after treating KRAS G13D CLL cells with the KRAS inhibitor BI-2865 for 24 hours, the protein expressions of the PI3K / AKT / mTOR pathway were detected, and it was found that the expressions of PI3K-2α, phosphorylated AKT, and mTOR were weakened. The above results prove that KRAS G13D mutation activates the PI3K / AKT / mTOR axis in CLL cells, and pharmacological blockade of KRAS G13D activation in CLL cells can inhibit the downstream PI3K / AKT / mTOR signaling pathway.
[0143] To explore the mechanism by which KRAS G13D regulates the activation of PIK3C2A to activate the PI3K / AKT pathway, molecular docking analysis of the proteins encoded by KRAS G13D and PIK3C2A was performed by GRAMM, and it was found that there are multiple KRAS binding sites in the PI3K kinase PI3K-C2α encoded by PIK3C2A, Figure 10 showing the visualization model of the protein complex of the 6 KRAS G13D with the lowest binding energy and PI3K-C2α, suggesting that KRAS G13D can directly bind to the PI3K kinase PI3K-C2α.
[0144] The above studies have clarified the regulatory effect of KRAS G13D mutation on the downstream PI3K / Akt / mTOR signaling pathway, and to further clarify KRAS G13DThe molecular mechanism by which the mutation directly regulates PIK3C2A and then activates the PI3K / Akt / mTOR signaling pathway. The protein interaction between KRAS and PI3K-2α was explored by co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) experiment. The results are as Figure 11 shown. In the lysate of KRAS G13D mutant CLL cells, PI3K-C2α (220 kDa) was significantly enriched in the anti-KRAS immunoprecipitation complex, suggesting a protein interaction between KRAS and PI3K-2α. In addition, the KRAS protein enrichment (22 kDa) was also detected in the immunoprecipitation complex captured by the PI3K-2α antibody in the reverse Co-IP, demonstrating the bidirectional specificity of the interaction between KRAS and PI3K-2α. In summary, KRAS G13D mutation activates the PI3K / Akt / mTOR signaling pathway in CLL cells, and there is a structural basis for the direct binding of the KRAS G13D protein to the PI3K-2α encoded by PIK3C2A. The Co-IP experiment confirmed the protein interaction between KRAS and PI3K-2α. KRAS G13D mutation regulates the PI3K / Akt / mTOR signaling pathway in CLL cells by upregulating PIK3C2A, promoting fatty acid oxidation and enhancing the proliferation activity of CLL cells.
[0145] 2.6 Synergistic inhibition of chronic lymphocytic leukemia cell proliferation by KRAS inhibitor and PI3K inhibitor
[0146] PI3K inhibitors have been incorporated into the treatment of CLL with disease progression after receiving Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor or venetoclax. MIPS-21335 is a PIK3C2A inhibitor (IC50: 0.007 μM), and idelalisib is a PI3Kδ subtype inhibitor (IC50: 0.0025 μM) that has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of CLL. MEC1, EHEB and primary CLL cells were treated with these two PI3K inhibitors. The drug concentration gradients of MIPS-21335 were 0 μM, 0.01 μM, 0.1 μM, 1 μM, 10 μM, and the drug concentration gradients of idelalisib were 0 μM, 25 μM, 50 μM, 100 μM, 200 μM. The cell viability was detected by CCK-8 assay after 24 hours of treatment. As Figure 12 shown, the proliferation of CLL cells was inhibited by MIPS-21335 and idelalisib, and the inhibitory effect was concentration-dependent. Under the treatment of the same drug concentration, the viability of KRAS G13D mutant CLL cells was significantly higher than that of KRASWT cells, indicating that compared with KRAS WT cells, the sensitivity of KRAS G13D mutant cells to MIPS-21335 and idelalisib is significantly reduced.
[0147] To investigate the effect of KRAS G13D mutation on the sensitivity of CLL cells to PI3K inhibitor drugs. MEC1, EHEB and primary CLL cells were treated with the PIK3C2A inhibitor MIPS-21335 at a drug concentration of 1 μM, and at the same time, the KRAS inhibitor BI2865 with drug concentration gradients of 0 μM, 0.01 μM, 0.1 μM, 1 μM, and 10 μM was added to co-incubate the cells. After 24 hours of treatment, cell viability was detected by CCK-8 assay. As Figure 13 shown, the proliferation of CLL cells was inhibited by the co-treatment of MIPS-21335 and BI2865, and the inhibitory effect was concentration-dependent on BI2865. When MIPS-21335 and BI2865 were used in combination, the viability of KRAS G13D mutant CLL cells was no longer significantly higher than that of KRAS WT cells, indicating that inhibiting KRAS G13D activation promoted the re-enhanced sensitivity of KRAS G13D mutant CLL cells to MIPS-21335, suggesting that CLL patients resistant to PI3K inhibitors may benefit from the combination drug strategy of KRAS inhibitors.
[0148] In KRAS G13D mutant primary Pt#1 cells and MEC1 cells, the drug synergy scores of BI2865 and MIPS-21335 co-administered at concentration gradients of 0, 0.01, 1, and 10 μM were calculated respectively. The drug dose-response was as Figure 14 A and Figure 14 C shown. When MIPS-21335 was 1 μM and BI2865 was 0.01 μM, 0.1 μM, or 1 μM, the drug synergy scores were all greater than 10, indicating that at this combined drug concentration, the two drugs had a synergistic effect on inhibiting the proliferation of CLL cells. Among them, when MIPS-21335 was 1 μM and BI2865 was 0.1 μM, the synergy score was the highest( Figure 14 B, C).
