Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of biotechnology, and particularly relates to a duodenal cancer cell line with ATM gene mutation and a separation and purification method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The duodenum is mostly located in the retroperitoneum and is closely related to the pancreas, so duodenal tumors, especially malignant tumors, are prone to invade the head of the pancreas. Primary duodenal tumors refer to benign or malignant tumors occurring in each segment of the duodenum, which are divided into primary duodenal benign tumors and primary duodenal malignant tumors, but do not include tumors in the Vater ampulla and the distal end of the common bile duct. In China, primary duodenal tumors account for 13%-36% of small intestinal tumors; in foreign countries, primary duodenal tumors account for 18.4%-52.0% of small intestinal tumors. Primary duodenal tumors are more common in middle-aged people and are mostly located in the descending and horizontal parts of the duodenum, and are most commonly found in the papillary part. The pathological type of benign tumors is mostly adenoma, and the pathological type of malignant tumors is mostly adenocarcinoma.

[0003] Because the duodenum has special anatomical and physiological characteristics, it lacks early specific clinical manifestations and is prone to delayed diagnosis. Common clinical symptoms include: (1) digestive system symptoms, such as abdominal pain, nausea, anorexia, and symptoms similar to digestive system inflammation and ulcer; (2) weight loss and anemia are common symptoms of duodenal tumors, especially in patients with a long medical history and advanced malignant tumors; (3) jaundice: more common in the descending part of the duodenum with large tumors, especially in tumors blocking the opening of the biliopancreatic duct in the papillary region, often accompanied by abdominal pain; (4) digestive system bleeding: fecal occult blood positivity and melena are more common, and hematemesis cases are rare; (5) nausea, vomiting, and intestinal obstruction symptoms: more common in rapidly growing tumors with large sizes, causing intestinal obstruction, or malignant tumors infiltrating and growing through the serosa; (6) abdominal mass: less common in clinical practice, mostly seen in large serosal tumors growing outward. Abdominal pain, jaundice, melena, and weight loss are the most common symptoms. The incidence of upper abdominal pain is about 66%, digestive obstruction is 40%, digestive bleeding is 24%, weight loss is 54.4%, and jaundice is 48.1%.

[0004] Duodenal malignant tumors have a high overall malignancy degree and poor prognosis, which is affected by the depth of tumor infiltration, lymph node metastasis, and surgical approach, and the overall 5-year survival rate is about 27%.

[0005] Genome sequencing of primary duodenal cancer revealed mutation rates >5% in eight genes: KRAS, TP53, APC, SMAD4, PIK3CA, ERBB2, BRAF, and FBXW7, with ERBB2 showing a mutation rate >12%. Further studies also found positive results for microsatellite instability (MSI). Currently, there are no suitable targeted therapies for genes such as KRAS, TP53, APC, and SMAD4.

[0006] Ataxia-telangiectasia (AT) is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder. Common clinical symptoms include ataxia, telangiectasia, sensitivity to chemicals and radiation, immunodeficiency, neurodegeneration, and an increased risk of cancer. Symptoms typically appear in early childhood and worsen over time, often leading to death in the 20s due to chronic lung disease or related cancers. AT patients are abnormally sensitive to radiation, and their cells have defects at cell cycle checkpoints, allowing DNA-damaged cells to continue dividing, increasing mutations and genomic instability, and promoting cancer development. Not only do AT patients have a high risk of cancer, but carriers of the AT-causing gene also have an increased risk of certain cancers. The single gene that causes AT is named ATM. The ATM gene encodes a protein with a molecular weight of approximately 350 kDa, belonging to the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-like (PI3K) family of serine / threonine protein kinases, which phosphorylate the SQ / TQ sites of more than 700 target substrates. It plays an initiating role in DNA repair signaling, regulates cell cycle checkpoints, and inhibits cell cycle progression by phosphorylating proteins such as p53, Chk1 / 2, NBS1, and RPA. It also plays a key role in telomere maintenance and apoptosis.

[0007] When a DNA double-strand break (DSB) occurs, the exposed DNA ends phosphorylate / acetylate inactive ATM dimers, promoting their activation. Activated ATMs then initiate a series of signaling cascades involving proteins such as BRCA1, CtIP, and γH2AX, promoting DSB repair through homologous recombination.

[0008] ATM exists in both the nucleus and cytoplasm. Nuclear ATM primarily participates in DNA damage repair and cell cycle regulation, while cytoplasmic ATM regulates AKT activity in the insulin response. Furthermore, ATM dysfunction leads to mitochondrial impairment, increased reactive oxygen species production, and T-cell misophagy defects. It also participates in the cGAS / STING pathway, a crucial component of the innate immune system; however, its function in the cytoplasm remains under investigation.

[0009] Patients with hereditary homozygous or pathogenic compound heterozygous ATM mutations will develop acute tumors (AT). Approximately 25% of AT patients will develop cancer, most commonly hematologic malignancies such as acute leukemia, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Hodgkin's lymphoma, and T-cell lymphoblastic leukemia. The risk of cancer increases significantly with age. Individuals carrying pathogenic ATM mutation alleles will not develop AT, but they have an increased risk of developing various cancers, including breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, gastric cancer, and prostate cancer. For example, women carrying a single pathogenic ATM mutation have a 5 to 8 times higher risk of developing breast cancer than the general population; it is estimated that 8.8% of breast cancer patients are AT heterozygous. ATM mutations are believed to promote tumorigenesis during cancer development; however, the molecular mechanisms of tumorigenesis in germline carriers of ATM mutations remain to be investigated.

[0010] Genetic testing results reported in the ClinVar database show that genetic alterations to the ATM gene have more than doubled in the past five years. This database contains over 17,000 reports of germline and somatic variations of ATM, including over 4,000 pathogenic variations and nearly 8,000 variations of undetermined significance (VUS). The majority of pathogenic ATM variations are frameshift and nonsense mutations, accounting for 51.7% and 27.9% respectively, leading to protein truncation or complete absence of ATM expression; 97% of VUS are missense mutations.

[0011] The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) pan-cancer atlas study revealed somatic ATM alterations in 6% of cancer tissue samples, with the most frequent alterations observed in uterine cancer (18.6%), bladder cancer (14.11%), and colorectal cancer (12.5%). These mutations are relatively evenly distributed across ATM genes, but the Cancer Hotspots Database lists several recurring mutation sites, such as R250 and R337 at the N-terminus, R1466 in the clamp domain, and R2832, N2875, I2888, L2890, and R3008 in the kinase domain. Understanding the origins and biological impacts of these hotspots is crucial for future research. Summary of the Invention

[0058] Example

[0059] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to specific examples. It should be understood that the following embodiments are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and substitutions to the present invention without departing from its spirit and intent, and all such modifications and substitutions fall within the scope of protection claimed in the present invention.

[0060] Unless otherwise specified, all materials and reagents used in the following examples are commercially available.

[0061] 1. Analysis of DHX33 protein expression in a duodenal cancer tissue

[0062] Immunohistochemical analysis was performed on paraffin-embedded sections of duodenal cancer tissue (provided by Donghua Hospital). The primary antibody, anti-DHX33 antibody, was purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology, clone number B4. The working concentration of the primary antibody was 1:20, diluted with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) containing 5% fetal bovine serum. The tissue was then washed repeatedly with PBS. The tissue was incubated with ready-to-use secondary antibody at room temperature for 1 hour. After extensive washing with PBS, DAB working solution (Kaiyue Life Sciences, self-developed reagent, Guangdong Shenyang Medical Device Registration No. 20240883) was added. The tissue was then incubated at room temperature for 2 minutes, followed by rapid rinsing with purified water to terminate the colorimetric reaction. Cell nuclei were stained with hematoxylin solution (Kaiyue Life Sciences, self-developed reagent, Guangdong Shenyang Medical Device Registration No. 20240884) for 2 minutes, followed by washing with PBS several times. The stained tissue was dehydrated or appropriately dried, then mounted with resin for microscopic observation and photography.

[0063] The experimental results showed that the cancer cells in the pathological tissue of this cancer exhibited high-efficiency expression of the DHX33 protein.

[0064] 2. Isolation and culture of cell lines

[0065] Biopsy tissue was obtained from duodenal cancer tissue and placed in sterile phosphate buffer using sterile instruments. The tissue was then minced with sterile scissors, resuspended in PBS, and centrifuged to precipitate the tissue. The supernatant was discarded, and 2 mL of 0.25% trypsin solution was added to the precipitated tissue. The tissue was then incubated in a 37°C water bath for digestion, with constant agitation to ensure uniform absorption of the trypsin by the cells. After 5 minutes of trypsin digestion, the digestion solution was allowed to stand, and then 0.1 mL of the cell suspension (free of tissue fragments) was gently pipetted into 10 mL of complete F12K cell culture medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum. The cells were gently agitated to ensure uniform dispersion, and then cultured in a CO2 incubator. The remaining digested cell suspension was added to complete culture medium using the same method. The cell culture medium was refreshed every 3-5 days until individual cancer cells gradually formed a single cell line clone. Single clones were picked for expansion and further culture. The first batch of expanded cells was cryopreserved, and the passage number was designated as P0. If cells from P0 are passaged again later, they are designated as P1, and so on. The process of cell clonal proliferation can be achieved through… Figure 2 exhibit.

[0066] 3. Selection of the optimal cell culture medium

[0067] Four different complete culture media were selected, each containing 10% fetal bovine serum, 1% penicillin, and 1% streptomycin. These four different complete culture media were: DEMM, RPMI-1640, F12K, and IMDM. Equal volumes of 1×10⁻⁶ media were then used. 6 TH-1 cancer cells were resuspended in the four culture media mentioned above and incubated statically in a CO2 incubator. After 3 days of culture, a preliminary assessment of cell proliferation was conducted: F12K medium showed the fastest cell proliferation, the highest cell number, and the highest density, with uniform cell morphology. DMEM medium showed the slowest proliferation and the lowest density, while RPMI-1640 and IMDM media exhibited the least morphological variation. Therefore, F12K medium was ultimately chosen for cell culture.

[0068] 4. Analysis of TH-1 cell proliferation properties

[0069] Equal amounts of TH-1 cells (at a ratio of 1 x 10) 5Cells were seeded into 6-well plates, with the seeding day designated as D0. Cells were then counted on D1, D2, D3, D4, D5, and D6, with each count performed independently three times. The average value was determined, and the overall cancer cell proliferation curve was analyzed. Specific data are as follows: Figure 3 As shown, this TH-1 cell has a relatively rapid proliferation capacity.

[0070] TH-1 cells were passaged every 3 days, with each passage using a 1:5 dilution ratio. This passaged culture continued for 5 months. Analysis showed no significant changes in overall cell morphology. The cell proliferation rate maintained a relatively consistent trend, thus confirming that the TH-1 cell line possesses immortalization and proliferative capabilities.

[0071] 5. Characterization of STR cell lines

[0072] TH-1 cells from generation P0 were cultured and amplified. Genomic DNA was then extracted, and short repeat sequences were amplified using specific STR identification primers (specific primer sequences can be found in: Yi-Hsien Chen, Jon P Connelly, Colin Florian, Xiaoxia Cui, Shondra M Pruett-Miller, 2023, Dis Model Mech 16(10), Short tandem repeat profiling via next-generation sequencing for cell line authentication). The PCR products after amplification were then used for STR gene sequencing to determine the characteristic profile of the STR. The specific experimental protocol is described in section "7. STR (short repeat sequence) analysis of TH-1 cells". The experimental results are as follows: Figure 4 As shown, this result demonstrates that the STR profile of TH-1 is unique and does not highly overlap with existing cancer cell lines.

[0073] 6. Analysis of the inhibitory sensitivity of TH-1 to various targeted anticancer drugs

[0074] Duodenal cancer cell line TH-1 cells were injected at a rate of 1×10 4 Seed 100 μL / well of cells into a 96-well plate. Wait for the cells to adhere completely, then... Figure 6 Different anticancer drugs were added to F12K cell culture medium at concentrations of 20 nM, 100 nM, and 500 nM, with three replicates for each concentration. The mixture was thoroughly mixed using a multichannel pipette. After 48 hours of incubation with the anticancer drugs and cells, the CCK-8 reagent (Shanghai Yisheng Biotechnology Co., Ltd.) was added to the F12K culture medium in 96-well plates according to standard procedures. After 2 hours of incubation, the plates were read using an ELISA reader (OD).450nm The experiment was repeated three times to observe the cell morphology and cell viability of TH-1 cells after the addition of anticancer drugs. Figure 5 The images show representative cell morphology diagrams after treatment with various anticancer drugs. Figure 6 This study presents a comparison of cell viability data after treatment with different concentrations of various anticancer drugs. The results show that the DHX33 inhibitor KY386 exhibits the best TH-1 cell inhibitory activity.

[0075] 7. Identification and analysis of the ATM gene in the TH-1 cell line

[0076] Genomic DNA was extracted from P0 generation TH-1 cells, and then used as a template for gene amplification of a specific region of ATM. The primers used were as described in section "6. Sequencing of the ATM gene in the TH-1 cell genome". After purification, the obtained PCR product was sequenced using the amplification pre-primer, and the sequencing results were as follows: Figure 7 As shown, the experimental results demonstrate that TH-1 cells contain a frameshift mutation in one of the ATM alleles, which prevents ATM from being expressed normally.

[0077] In summary, the duodenal cancer cell line provided in this application has a unique ATM mutation, a relatively unique STR identification profile, and a relatively rapid growth and proliferation capacity, which can be used for cancer biology research such as screening DHX33 helicase inhibitors.
