Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of biological medicine, and particularly relates to a method for detecting SOS1 protein content and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] SOS1 protein (Son of Sevenless Homolog 1) is a protein encoded by the SOS1 gene, with a full length of 1333 amino acids and a molecular weight of 152464 Da. It is an important guanine nucleotide exchange factor and a key signal transduction regulatory protein. It plays a key regulatory molecular role in cell signal transduction, especially in the RAS / MAPK signaling pathway, which controls cell growth, proliferation, differentiation and survival. Therefore, the dysfunction of SOS1 protein is closely related to various diseases, especially cancer and developmental syndromes.
[0003] Studies have shown that abnormal expression or mutation of SOS1 is closely related to the occurrence and development of various cancers. In KRAS mutant cancer, even if KRAS itself has been mutated, SOS1 is still essential for KRAS activation, which makes SOS1 an attractive target for treating KRAS-driven tumors. Especially in the case of resistance to direct KRAS inhibitors, targeting SOS1 can effectively overcome or delay the occurrence of drug resistance. Mechanistically, SOS1 inhibitors or degraders inhibit the GDP / GTP exchange of KRAS by blocking the SOS1-KRAS interaction, thereby attenuating downstream signaling. In addition to its role in cancer, SOS1 is also involved in the pathological process of other diseases. For example, in Noonan syndrome, mutations in the SOS1 gene can cause changes in the function of the encoded protein, leading to symptoms such as heart abnormalities, unique facial features, and skeletal defects, which further highlights the importance of SOS1 in normal development and physiological processes.
[0004] Therefore, developing a reliable and stable method for detecting SOS1 protein concentration is of great significance in the fields of basic research, drug development, and diagnosis and mechanism research of specific diseases. For example, detecting the expression level changes of SOS1 protein under different stimuli (such as growth factors, cytokines) or in different cell types, different cell cycle stages, can help understand the fine regulation mechanism of the core signaling pathway; detecting the SOS1 protein concentration in tumor tissues and the changes in SOS1 protein concentration after drug treatment can evaluate whether the drug effectively binds to the target, induces degradation or interferes with its function; detecting the SOS1 protein concentration level of patient tumor samples can be used for patient screening in clinical trials evaluating the "KRAS target + SOS1 target" combination therapy.

[0071] The mass spectrometry adopts a targeted mass spectrometry signal acquisition technology mode of multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) to detect the signal.
[0072] The detection method of the present application first needs to obtain theoretical enzyme digestion peptides by theoretically simulating enzyme digestion of the protein sequence of SOS1 using trypsin, and searching a species library using Skyline software to obtain unique characteristic peptides. According to certain theoretical screening criteria, the peptides with high ionization efficiency, moderate hydrophilicity (avoiding hydrophobic peptides to precipitate), appropriate length (6-25 amino acids), and avoiding containing modifiable amino acids, no enzyme cutting site, etc. are preferred, and the appropriate peptides (LFSSNDVENIFSR, LPGASSAEYR, FEIPEPEPTEADR, QLTLLESDLYR, SASVSSISLSK) are selected as candidate characteristic peptides for SOS1 protein quantification.
[0073] The candidate characteristic peptides are synthesized as standard samples, and the actual ionization efficiency, fragmentation pattern and retention time are detected by LC-MS / MS to screen peptides with high and stable signal intensity. And ensure that the mass-to-charge ratio (m / z) value of the selected ion has no obvious co-elution interference in the total ion chromatogram of the actual biological sample. Based on the above factors, the present application uses tumor samples for proteolysis in the method development, and the enzyme digestion products are analyzed by LC-MS / MS injection. By optimizing the liquid phase conditions and mass spectrometry parameters and suitable parent-daughter ion pairs (Q1 / Q3), the chromatographic behavior of the synthesized candidate characteristic peptide standard sample is compared, and the characteristic peptides with good ionization efficiency, high and stable signal intensity, and good chromatographic peak separation degree in the actual sample are selected. Finally, FEIPEPEPTEADR and QLTLLESDLYR are selected as the characteristic peptides of SOS1 protein.
[0074] The detection method measures the content of the characteristic peptides of the SOS1 protein from the proteolysis products of the tumor sample, and the content refers to the relative content or absolute content between samples. The biological samples used for detecting the content of SOS1 protein include tumor samples, cell samples, tissue samples and blood samples (such as PBMC).
[0075] The quantitative detection of the present application is based on the targeted detection of the characteristic peptides of SOS1 protein, and can perform absolute quantification of the characteristic peptides and SOS1 protein and relative quantification of SOS1 protein in different treatment samples.
[0076] The present application also provides the use of the method in the preparation of a product for detecting SOS1 protein, diagnosing related diseases, monitoring disease progression or evaluating prognosis.
[0077] Using the detection method of the present application, the content of SOS1 protein in biological samples such as tumors, cells, tissues and blood (PBMC) can be quantitatively detected, which can be used for the efficacy evaluation of targeted drugs with SOS1 protein as the target, and the diagnosis, detection and course monitoring of diseases and the prognosis evaluation.
[0078] On the basis of not violating the common sense of the art, the above-mentioned preferred conditions can be combined arbitrarily, that is, each preferred example of the present application is obtained.
[0079] The reagents and raw materials used in the present application are commercially available, except for special instructions.
[0080] The positive progress effect of the present application is:
[0081] The detection method of the present application obtains the practically applicable and uniquely representative characteristic peptide segment through the theoretical enzyme digestion of the protein sequence based on the general theoretical basis of the selection of the characteristic peptide segment, and the verification of the SOS1 protein digestion peptide segment detected in the actual sample proteolysis product. The characteristic peptide segment and the synthesized stable isotope-labeled re-labeled internal standard peptide segment are used for quantitative detection of SOS1 protein on a liquid chromatograph-mass spectrometer (LC-MS / MS) in a multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. The liquid chromatograph (LC) is used for separation according to the retention time, and the mass spectrometer (MS / MS) is used for confirmation according to the mass-to-charge ratio and the fragment ion, which can exclude the interference of other co-eluted peptide segments in complex biological samples, avoid false positives, and perform high-accuracy and high-precision absolute quantification on the target SOS1 protein. The method has high specificity and selectivity. At the same time, the stable isotope-labeled re-labeled internal standard peptide segment has almost the same physical and chemical properties as the light-labeled polypeptide of SOS1 protein, and the chromatographic and mass spectrometric behaviors are also consistent. Through the normalization of the ratio of the two, the fluctuation of the detection response value caused by the matrix effect can be corrected, and absolute quantification can be realized.
[0082] The linear quantitative range of the calibration curve of the detection method of the present application is 0.01 ng / mL-5 ng / mL, which has extremely high sensitivity and wide dynamic range. The detection method of the present application does not need high-quality and high-specificity antibodies required by the immunoassay, but synthesizes a characteristic peptide segment and a stable isotope-labeled internal standard peptide segment, which has the advantages of short development cycle, high throughput, low cost, stable and reliable results, etc. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0106] The present application is further illustrated by the following examples without thereby limiting the present application to the scope of the examples. The experimental methods in the following examples, if not specified, are selected according to the conventional methods and conditions, or according to the product instructions.
[0107] The process, conditions, experimental methods, etc. for implementing the present application, except for the following specifically mentioned contents, are the general knowledge and common sense in the art, and the present application has no special limitations.
[0108] Example 1
[0109] In this example, the detection method of SOS1 protein content is researched and developed.
[0110] I. Screening of characteristic peptide segments
[0111] Theoretical enzyme digestion of the protein sequence of SOS1 was performed using trypsin to obtain theoretical enzyme digestion peptides. Skyline software was used to search the species library to obtain unique characteristic peptides. According to the theoretical screening criteria combined with the inventors' experience, peptides with high ionization efficiency, moderate hydrophilicity (avoiding hydrophobic peptides), appropriate length (6-25 amino acids), and avoiding the presence of modifiable amino acids, enzyme cleavage sites, etc. were selected as candidate characteristic peptides for SOS1 protein quantification.
[0112] Table 1: Candidate characteristic peptides
[0113]
[0114] Synthetic candidate characteristic peptides were used as standard samples to detect their ionization efficiency, fragmentation pattern and retention time by LC-MS / MS. Peptides with high and stable signal intensity were selected. The mass-to-charge ratio (m / z) values of the selected ions were ensured to have no significant co-elution interference in the total ion chromatogram of the actual biological sample. The preliminary mass spectrometry information of the five candidate characteristic peptides is shown in the following table.
[0115] Table 2: Mass spectrometry information of candidate characteristic peptides
[0116]
[0117] In the method development, tumor samples were pre-selected for proteolysis. The enzyme digestion products were analyzed by LC-MS / MS. By optimizing the liquid chromatography conditions and mass spectrometry parameters, as well as suitable parent-daughter ion pairs (Q1 / Q3), the chromatographic behavior of synthetic candidate characteristic peptide standards was compared. The characteristic peptides with good ionization efficiency, high and stable signal intensity, and good chromatographic peak separation in actual samples were selected.
[0118] After considering various factors, FEIPEPEPTEADR (peptide 3) and QLTLLESDLYR (peptide 4) were selected as the characteristic peptides of SOS1 protein.
[0119] Further, the inventors optimized and screened the mass spectrometry conditions of the above characteristic peptides and corresponding heavy internal standard peptides FEIPEPEPTEADR (peptide 3) 13 C3, 15 N). The mass spectrometry conditions are shown in the following table, which have the advantages of high signal intensity and good stability. The parent-daughter ion mass spectra of peptide 3, peptide 4 and heavy internal standard peptide are shown in Figures 1-3 .
[0120] Table 3: Mass spectrometry parameter conditions after optimization
[0121]
[0122] II. Optimization of LC-MS conditions
[0123] To ensure the accuracy and repeatability of the quantitative results, the LC-MS conditions were optimized and confirmed in this example. The mass spectrometry parameters such as selection of Q1 / Q3, cone voltage, capillary voltage, ion source temperature, the liquid chromatography conditions such as column type, gradient elution, and the pretreatment conditions of the sample before proteolysis were all optimized.
[0124] 1. Optimization of LC conditions
[0125] During the establishment of the LC-MS / MS quantitative detection method for the characteristic peptides FEIPEPEPTEADR and QLTLLESDLYR of SOS1 protein, the applicant conducted multiple rounds of screening and optimization of the liquid separation conditions.
[0126] Firstly, the applicant attempted to use a conventional C18 column and a short gradient program (e.g. 5-10 minutes) for detection. It was found that under such conditions, isobaric interference peaks with the same or similar parent ions and daughter ions as the target peptide FEIPEPEPTEADR appeared. The interference peaks could not be effectively separated on the chromatogram, resulting in significant amplification of the target peak area, high quantitative results, and extremely large CV%, and stable quantitative results could not be obtained.
[0127] To overcome the interference, the applicant optimized the liquid chromatography conditions such as column type, column temperature, and elution gradient, as follows:
[0128] (1) Column selection: Considering the strong hydrophilicity of the characteristic peptides, the retention ability on conventional columns is weak and the peak shape is poor. For example, the results of the previous screening test are shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, which are the chromatograms of peptide 3 and peptide 4, respectively, using the column ACQUITY UPLC Protein BEH C4 300A (1.7 μm, 2.1 x 100 mm). Figures 4-5 Figures 4-5
[0129] Mobile phase: A: 0.1% formic acid in water; B: 0.1% formic acid in methanol: acetonitrile (20:80) solution; the gradient elution conditions are shown in Table 4, and the column temperature is 40°C.
[0130] Table 4 Gradient elution conditions
[0131]
[0132] After multiple comparisons, Waters ACQUITY UPLC HSS T3 chromatographic column was selected, which has high-strength silica gel matrix and three-end sealing tail characteristics, which endows it with better hydrophilic compound retention performance, and can effectively improve the separation degree and peak shape stability of the target peptide segment. For example Figures 6-7 as shown in Figures 6-7 The chromatograms of peptide segment 3 and peptide segment 4, respectively, were selected using the chromatographic column ACQUITY Premier HSS T3 VanGuard FIT (1.8 μm, 2.1 x 100 mm), and the gradient elution conditions are shown in Table 4, and the column temperature is 40°C.
[0133] (2) Gradient program optimization: Since there are many proteins and peptide segments in the sample, which interfere with the peptide segments, under the conventional isocratic elution or gradient elution conditions, the target peptide segments and interfering peptide segments cannot be well separated. For example Figures 8-11 as shown in Figures 8-9 The chromatograms of peptide segment 3 and peptide segment 4, respectively, were selected using the chromatographic column ACQUITY Premier HSS T3 VanGuard FIT (1.8 μm, 2.1 x 100 mm), and the gradient elution conditions are shown in Table 5, and the column temperature is 40°C. Figures 10-11 The chromatograms of peptide segment 3 and peptide segment 4, respectively, were selected using the chromatographic column ACQUITY Premier HSS T3 VanGuard FIT (1.8 μm, 2.1 x 100 mm), and the gradient elution conditions are shown in Table 6, and the column temperature is 40°C.

[0135]
[0136] Table 6 Gradient elution conditions
[0137]
[0138] After repeated experimental adjustment of the elution conditions by the inventors, an elution gradient program with a total duration of about 15 minutes was established, in which the interval of 3-12 minutes (the proportion of phase B slowly increased from about 21% to 23%) used a very gentle gradient slope.
[0139] This setting is specially designed to achieve complete separation of the target peptide segment and the interfering peak. In contrast, the conventional steep gradient elution conditions cannot achieve similar separation effect.
[0140] (2) Column temperature optimization: The inventors found that under the standard column temperature (30-50°C), the target peptide segment and the interfering peak overlap, and cannot be separated. The chromatograms of peptide segment 3 and peptide segment 4 injected under the condition of column temperature of 40°C are shown in Figures 6-7shown (chromatographic column was ACQUITY Premier HSS T3 VanGuard FIT (1.8 pm, 2.1 x 100 mm), gradient elution conditions were shown in Table 4). The chromatograms of Peptide 3 and Peptide 4 injected at 60 °C were shown in Figures 12-13 shown (chromatographic column was ACQUITY Premier HSS T3 VanGuard FIT (1.8 pm, 2.1 x 100 mm), gradient elution conditions were shown in Table 4), which showed that the target peptide peaks had been well separated.
[0141] The inventors unexpectedly found that when the column temperature was increased to 70 °C and the elution gradient was fine-tuned, the retention behaviors of the two were significantly different, thereby achieving baseline separation. As shown in Figures 14-15 Figures 14-15 The chromatograms of Peptide 3 and Peptide 4 injected at 70 °C, respectively, were shown in

[0217] Example 3
[0218] In this embodiment, the detection method of the content of SOS1 protein screened in Example 1 is used to detect mouse tumor samples.
[0219] According to the optimized sample pretreatment conditions in Example 1, the CDX model mouse tumor samples are treated, and the confirmed liquid chromatography parameters are used for injection detection on the liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry instrument. The data are collected by MassLynx V4.2, and the chromatographic peaks of the analytes (characteristic peptide segments of SOS1 protein) and internal standards (stable isotope markers of characteristic peptide segments) in each MRM channel are integrated to obtain the peak area and peak area ratio. The peak area ratio of the analyte to the internal standard is taken as the vertical coordinate (Y axis), and the known concentration of the analyte is taken as the horizontal coordinate (X axis), and a standard curve regression equation is obtained by linear fitting (least squares method). The peak area ratio of the characteristic peptide segment of SOS1 protein in the detection sample to the peak area of the stable isotope marker internal standard peptide segment is substituted into the regression equation of the standard curve, and the concentration of the analyte in the detection sample can be calculated, realizing the absolute quantification of the characteristic peptide segment. The concentration of the characteristic peptide segment is converted into the concentration of SOS1 protein through the molecular weight information of the characteristic peptide segment, so as to realize the absolute quantification of the content of SOS1 protein in the detection sample. The sample detection can also not use standard curve samples, and different types of samples can be directly analyzed and detected, and the peak area ratio is compared to realize relative quantification.
[0220] After obtaining the relative concentration information of them, corresponding mathematical processing, plotting or statistical analysis can be performed to obtain the correlation of SOS1 among different samples. The absolute quantitative value of SOS1 protein in the test sample is shown in the following table. Figures 17 to 23 The following is a representative chromatogram.
[0221] Table 21: Quantitative concentration of characteristic peptide segment 3 and its converted SOS1 protein concentration data table

[0223] Table 22: Quantitative concentration of characteristic peptide segment 4 and its converted SOS1 protein concentration data table
[0224]
[0225] Table 23: Comparison table of SOS1 protein concentration data quantified using characteristic peptide segment 3 and peptide segment 4
[0226]
[0227] The average concentration of SOS1 protein obtained by using the characteristic peptide segment FEIPEPEPTEADR for quantitative detection of the test sample is 0.167 fmol / μg, and the CV is 5.8%; the average concentration of SOS1 protein obtained by using the characteristic peptide segment QLTLLESDLYR for quantitative detection of the test sample is 0.190 fmol / μg, and the CV is 12.5%; the difference value of SOS1 protein concentration quantified by selecting the two characteristic peptide segments FEIPEPEPTEADR and QLTLLESDLYR is 12.8%.
[0228] The above data results show that the detection method of the present SOS1 protein has good accuracy and precision. The method simultaneously uses two characteristic peptide segments for detection, which mutually confirm each other and are indispensable. Only when the detection results of the two characteristic peptide segments have a difference within an acceptable range (difference%<30%), the analysis result is valid, and the obtained quantitative result has reliability.
