Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biomedicine, specifically relating to the application of TPRA1 in the antitumor effect of oncolytic viruses. Background Technology
[0002] Oncolytic virus therapy is a novel anti-tumor immunotherapy combining targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and gene therapy. It selectively infects and directly kills tumor cells, thereby activating an anti-tumor immune response through mechanisms such as exposing tumor / virus antigens and releasing cytokines, thus exerting a direct or indirect tumor-suppressive effect. Furthermore, oncolytic viruses themselves can act as vectors carrying suicide genes, immunomodulatory genes, pro-apoptotic genes, and anti-angiogenic genes to further regulate the tumor microenvironment and enhance the efficacy of anti-tumor drugs. Compared with conventional treatments currently used in clinical practice, oncolytic virus therapy has advantages such as strong killing effect, high safety, and lower cost. Currently, dozens of oncolytic viruses are in clinical trials. In 2015, the oncolytic virus T-Vec was the first to be approved by the US FDA for the treatment of melanoma. In 2021, the oncolytic virus Delytact was approved in Japan for the treatment of malignant glioma. The naturally occurring alphavirus M1, a novel oncolytic virus originally discovered in my country (Lin et al., 2014), has good in vitro and in vivo anti-tumor activity and safety, and is currently undergoing clinical trials in China and Japan.
[0003] The primary prerequisite for oncolytic viruses to exert their anticancer effects is the precise targeting and infection of tumor cells. A crucial first step in viral infection of tumor cells is receptor-mediated viral entry. Receptor expression determines the tissue tropism of the virus. For example, the oncolytic virus T-Vec, developed based on HSV-1, has its receptors HVEM and Nectin highly expressed in melanoma; therefore, melanoma is the primary clinical indication for T-Vec. In conclusion, identifying novel receptors for oncolytic virus M1 will further elucidate the pharmacological mechanism of oncolytic virus M1 targeting tumors and provide predictive biomarkers for precision medicine, possessing significant scientific and practical value.
[0004] TPRA1 (Transmembrane protein adipocyte-associated 1), also known as TPRA40, GPR175, and TMEM227, is a membrane protein with a seven-transmembrane helix structure and belongs to the orphan G protein-coupled receptor family. TPRA1 was first cloned in 1999, but its detailed physiological functions remain unknown. Reports indicate that TPRA1 can inhibit cell division in mouse embryos and promote the Hedgehog signaling pathway. To date, there are no reported studies on the association between TPRA1 and viral infection. Summary of the Invention

Then, the oncolytic virus treatment regimen can be administered specifically to improve the effectiveness of the treatment and avoid delays and drug abuse caused by ineffective administration. For example, the TPRA1 expression level of the patient can be measured before administration. If the patient has high TPRA1 expression (preferably a tumor), oncolytic virus treatment can be administered directly. If the patient has normal or low TPRA1 expression (preferably a tumor), a TPRA1 promoter can be administered before or simultaneously with oncolytic virus administration to increase the tumor's sensitivity to the oncolytic virus and improve treatment effectiveness. The level of TPRA1 expression in the patient (preferably a tumor) directly affects the effectiveness of oncolytic virus treatment. Patients with higher TPRA1 expression levels (preferably tumors) are more likely to benefit from oncolytic virus treatment.

[0145] Those skilled in the art should know that TPRA1 is a gene name, which has multiple transcripts. This invention uses one of these transcripts for experimental testing. Due to the high cost and long duration of biological experiments, those skilled in the art typically use only one transcript of a gene for testing, but this does not mean that other transcripts of the same gene cannot achieve the corresponding technical effect.

[0146] Preferably, TPRA1 is a protein sequence having 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, and 100% homology with the protein sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 1, and the protein sequence has a function similar to TPRA1.

Alternatively, it means that the given amino acid sequence differs from the reference sequence by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 amino acids. For peptides, this difference is preferably an amino acid substitution or deletion.
[0148] Preferably, substantially similar sequences also retain the unique activity of the peptide, enabling it to detect endogenous antibodies with high efficiency. Substitutions are generally considered conserved, such as substitutions between aliphatic amino acids Ala, Val, Leu, and Ile; interchanges between hydroxyl residues Ser and Thr; exchange between acidic residues Asp and Glu; substitution between amide residues Asn and Gln; exchange between basic residues Lys and Arg; and substitution between aromatic residues Phe and Tyr.

[0150] This invention provides the application of TPRA1 in the antitumor effect of oncolytic viruses, and for the first time proposes the application of oncolytic viruses in the preparation of anti-TPRA1 highly expressed tumor drugs, as well as the application of TPRA1 promoters in the preparation of oncolytic virus antitumor synergists or drug resistance reversal agents. Based on this, it also proposes for the first time the application of substances that detect TPRA1 in the preparation of products for evaluating the efficacy of oncolytic virus antitumor therapy, the prognostic evaluation of oncolytic virus antitumor therapy, the selection of tumor treatment regimens, and / or tumor diagnosis or prognostic evaluation. At the same time, it demonstrates that the combined use of oncolytic viruses and TPRA1 promoters can significantly improve the antitumor effect.
[0151] This invention innovatively discovers that the G protein-coupled receptor TPRA1 is a novel receptor for oncolytic viruses. Through large-scale screening using CRISPR-Cas9 gene knockout, combined with verification through gene overexpression, knockdown, and knockout, it was found that TPRA1 can promote the infection of oncolytic virus M1. These studies identify TPRA1 as the receptor for oncolytic virus M1, and for the first time, demonstrate that the G protein-coupled receptor TPRA1 functions as a viral receptor. Furthermore, using replication-deficient pseudoviruses, it was demonstrated that TPRA1 can promote the invasion of the alphavirus Semliki Forest Virus (SFV) without promoting the unrelated vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV). This result strongly suggests the important role of TPRA1 in alphavirus infection and provides new insights into the biological research of alphaviruses.
[0152] Based on the discovery and identification of the novel receptor TPRA1 for oncolytic virus M1, this invention also demonstrates through in vitro and in vitro experiments that the expression of TPRA1 promotes the tumor-killing effect of oncolytic virus M1, and that the expression level of TPRA1 in cells is positively correlated with the sensitivity to oncolytic virus M1. This proves the important role of TPRA1 in the anti-tumor effect of oncolytic virus M1, provides a new biomarker for the precision treatment of oncolytic virus M1, further expands the indications for oncolytic virus M1, and has important application value.

[0175] Example 1: Construction of a cell line overexpressing TPRA1
[0176] 1. Construction of lentiviral expression plasmids
[0177] The target fragment of TPRA1 (NM_001136053.4) was amplified by PCR using Q5 Hot Start High-Fidelity 2X Master Mix to acquire the HA tag. After purification, the fragment was cloned into a lentiviral expression vector and transformed into stbl3 competent cells. Plasmids were extracted according to the instructions of the Tiangen plasmid extraction kit.

[0181] 2. Construction of stable expression cell lines
[0182] HEK293T cells were seeded in 6-well plates and cultured in antibiotic-free medium. Transfection was performed the following day when the cell density was approximately 50%-60%. The 3000 transfection reagent instructions were followed to transfect the lentiviral packaging plasmid, envelope plasmid, and expression vector plasmid in a 5:1:5 ratio. 48 hours after transfection, the cell supernatant was collected, filtered, and used for later use.
[0183] Cells (UMUC3, PC9, 22RV1) were seeded into 12-well plates and cultured until the cell density reached approximately 50% on the second day. 500 μL of lentivirus solution was added for transduction. After 48 hours, the cells were passaged, and the medium was replaced with a medium containing selection antibiotics for selection. The medium was changed every two days, and the cells were passaged again when the cell density reached 90%. When all control cells not transduced with lentivirus died, the medium was replaced with normal medium for expansion culture.
[0184] Cells overexpressing UMUC3-TPRA1, PC9-TPRA1, and 22RV1-TPRA1 were obtained.
[0185] Plasmids expressing Cas9 protein and sgRNA were transfected into 22RV1 cells using CRISPR technology. Monoclonal cells were obtained by flow cytometry, and Western blotting confirmed the presence of TPRA1 knockout 22RV1 cells. Stable TPRA1-expressing 22RV1 cells were constructed using the above method.
[0186] Example 2: TPRA1-mediated infection of oncolytic virus M1
[0187] Method for detecting oncolytic virus M1 infection rate by flow cytometry: Cells infected with oncolytic virus M1 carrying the GFP reporter gene (Human Gene Therapy, 2021) were digested with trypsin, and digestion was stopped by adding FBS-containing medium. After centrifugation at 500g for 5 min, the supernatant was discarded, and the cells were washed with 1 mL PBS. After centrifugation again and discarding the supernatant, the cells were resuspended in 150 μL PBS. The percentage of GFP-positive cells at 510 nm was analyzed using the FITC channel of a flow cytometer.
[0188] In human prostate cancer cells 22RV1-TPRA1 and human bladder cancer cells UMUC3-TPRA1 prepared in Example 1, TPRA1 was overexpressed using lentivirus. Figure 1 Cells A and E were observed after infection with oncolytic virus M1 carrying the GFP reporter gene (M1-GFP). Compared with empty vector control cells, cells overexpressing TPRA1 showed more green fluorescence. Figure 1 (B and F); the proportion of GFP-positive cells, i.e., the infection rate of oncolytic virus M1, was detected by flow cytometry. It was found that the infection rate of oncolytic virus M1 was significantly increased in cells overexpressing TPRA1. Figure 1 (CD and GH). These results indicate that TPRA1 promotes infection with oncolytic virus M1.
[0189] Example 3: siRNA knockdown of TPRA1 significantly inhibited M1 virus infection.
[0190] To identify whether the endogenously expressed TPRA1 protein promotes the infection of cells by oncolytic virus M1, this study knocked down the expression of the TPRA1 gene in SW620 human colorectal adenocarcinoma cells and 22RV1 human prostate cancer cells using siRNA (Small interfering RNA), and verified the mRNA expression level of TPRA1 using qPCR.
[0191] siRNA_TPRA1_001:GAACGCTGCAACTGTTGCT (SEQ ID NO: 4).
[0192] siRNA_TPRA1_002:ATCCTCTTCTCCTACAAAT (SEQ ID NO: 5).
[0193] Forty-eight hours after siRNA transfection, oncolytic virus M1 was added for infection, and the difference in viral infection rate was detected. Results are as follows: Figure 2 As shown, knocking down TPRA1 significantly reduced the infection rate of oncolytic virus M1 in both SW620 and 22RV1 cells.
[0194] Example 4: TPRA1 specifically promotes the invasion of alpha nucleotides.
[0195] To further demonstrate that TPRA1 can promote the invasion of oncolytic virus M1 into cells, this embodiment constructed a pseudotyped virus. Pseudotyped viruses are viruses or viral vectors packaged with the envelope proteins of other viruses. After invading cells, they can only complete a single replication cycle and do not produce infectious progeny viruses. Therefore, pseudotyped viruses are often used to study viral invasion. Using the envelope protein of oncolytic virus M1, a lentiviral genome containing the GFP gene was coated to construct pseudotyped oncolytic virus M1. The results are as follows... Figure 3 As shown in Figure A, compared with the empty vector control cells, pseudo-oncolytic virus M1 had a higher infection rate in UMUC3 cells overexpressing TPRA1, indicating that TPRA1 can promote the invasion of pseudo-oncolytic virus M1 into cells.
[0196] Semliki Forest virus (SFV), belonging to the genus Alphavirus of the family Togaviridae, can cause severe neurological illness and death in rodents and other animals. Similarly, a pseudotyped Semliki Forest virus (SFV) was constructed by coating a lentiviral genome containing the GFP gene with the envelope protein of Semliki Forest virus. The results are as follows... Figure 3 As shown in Figure B, after cell infection, it was found that pseudotyped Semlikie forest virus had a higher infection rate on UMUC3 cells overexpressing TPRA1 than on empty control cells, indicating that TPRA1 can also promote the invasion and infection of Semlikie forest virus.
[0197] Vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) is an enveloped, negative-sense RNA virus that can infect various mammalian and insect cells. Infection in humans can manifest as asymptomatic symptoms or cause mild fever. Similarly, a pseudotyped VSV was constructed by coating a lentiviral genome containing the GFP gene onto the envelope protein of VSV. The results are as follows... Figure 3 As shown in Figure C, the infection rate of pseudovirus did not change significantly after UMUC3 cells overexpressing TPRA1 and empty control cells were infected with pseudovesicular stomatitis virus, indicating that TPRA1 cannot promote VSV invasion.
[0198] The results above suggest that TPRA1 can specifically promote the invasion of alphaviruses, but not the invasion of other RNA viruses.
[0199] Example 5: TPRA1 promotes the adhesion and internalization of oncolytic virus M1
[0200] To investigate the specific stage of M1 virus infection promoted by TPRA1, this study used a plaque assay for preliminary exploration. A 2.5 wt% agarose solution was melted by heating, and the cell culture medium was preheated in an oven above 45°C. The cell culture medium was added to the agarose (the volume ratio of culture medium to agarose solution was approximately 3:1), bringing the final agarose concentration to 0.5-1 wt%. Three hours after infection with the oncolytic virus M1, the culture medium was aspirated, the cells were washed once with PBS, and 100 μL of agarose medium was added to cover the entire well. After rapid solidification at room temperature, the cells were returned to the cell culture incubator for further culture. Under solid-state culture conditions, progeny viruses produced after M1 infection do not easily spread in the culture system; infection is limited to the in situ and surrounding areas. Therefore, the number of GFP fluorescent spots represents the status of the first round of M1 virus infection. Forty-eight hours after infection, the infection status was observed, and the entire well was recorded using a microscope or a high-content imaging analysis system. Figure 4 (As shown in Figure A). The results showed that, compared with the empty vector control cells, the number of fluorescent spots in oncolytic virus M1-infected cells overexpressing TPRA1 was significantly increased. This indicates that TPRA1 already played a role in promoting M1 infection during the first round of infection.
[0201] The first step in viral infection of a host cell is entry. For alphaviruses, entry begins with binding to a receptor and attachment to the cell surface; subsequently, they internalize into the endosome via receptor-mediated endocytosis. As the endosome gradually acidifies, the viral envelope fuses with the endosome membrane, thereby delivering the genomic RNA into the cytoplasm.
[0202] To investigate whether TPRA1 can promote the adhesion and internalization of oncolytic virus M1, this study used UMUC3 cells overexpressing TPRA1 or with an empty vector control to perform virus adhesion and internalization experiments. In the virus adhesion experiment, test cells were uniformly seeded in multi-well cell culture plates. When the cell density reached 60-90%, oncolytic virus (10 MOI) was added, and the cells were incubated at 4°C for 1 hour to restrict cell membrane mobility. After washing three times with pre-cooled PBS, RNA was collected, and the content of the NS1 gene (M1_NS1) of oncolytic virus M1 was detected by RT-qPCR. The results showed that overexpression of TPRA1 in UMUC3 cells significantly increased the adhesion of oncolytic virus M1. Figure 4 (As shown in B and C). For the virus internalization experiment, cells were incubated at 4°C for 1 hour, then at 37°C for 30 minutes. After washing the cells once with pre-chilled PBS, they were digested with 500 ng / mL proteinase K or trypsin. After washing three more times with pre-chilled PBS, cells were collected for RNA extraction. The RNA content of the oncolytic virus M1 NS1 gene (M1_NS1) was detected by RT-qPCR. The results showed that overexpression of TPRA1 in UMUC3 cells significantly increased the internalization of oncolytic virus M1. Figure 4 (As shown in D and E).
[0203] The above results indicate that the cell membrane protein TPRA1 can promote the adhesion and internalization of oncolytic virus M1, thereby promoting the entry of M1 into tumor cells.
[0204] Example 6: The effect of TPRA1 in promoting the killing of tumor cells by oncolytic virus M1
[0205] To investigate whether overexpressing TPRA1 could enhance the cytotoxic effect of oncolytic virus M1, this study used oncolytic virus M1 to infect wild-type, TPRA1-overexpressing, and TPRA1-knockout 22RV1 cells. These cell types showed no significant difference in growth rate, but the tumor cell-killing effect of oncolytic virus M1 was significantly enhanced in TPRA1-overexpressing cells and significantly weakened in TPRA1-knockout cells. Furthermore, reintroducing TPRA1 expression into TPRA1-knockout 22RV1 cells restored the cytotoxic effect of oncolytic virus M1. Figure 5 (As shown in A).
[0206] To further investigate whether the expression level of TPRA1 in other tumor cells also affects the tumor cell killing ability of oncolytic virus M1, cells overexpressing TPRA1 or with an empty vector were constructed in UMUC3 and PC9 cells, and the killing effect of oncolytic virus M1 on these cells was detected. The results showed that overexpression of TPRA1 significantly enhanced the ability of oncolytic virus M1 to kill UMUC3 and PC9 tumor cells. In UMUC3 cells, the IC50 value of M1 virus killing tumor cells decreased from 5.109 MOI to 0.138 MOI; in PC9 cells, the IC50 value of M1 virus killing tumor cells decreased from 0.5284 MOI to 0.0567 MOI. Figure 5 (As shown in BC). The above results indicate that TPRA1 promotes the killing effect of oncolytic virus M1 on tumor cells.
[0207] Example 7: TPRA1 is highly expressed in various tumor tissues.
[0208] Because the M1 virus has tumor-targeting specificity, the mining results from the TCGA and GTEx databases in this embodiment are as follows: Figure 6 As shown, TPRA1 expression was significantly higher in various tumor tissues, including glioblastoma, colorectal cancer, liver cancer, and urothelial carcinoma of the bladder than in normal tissues.
[0209] Example 8: TPRA1 promotes the tumor-killing effect of oncolytic virus M1
[0210] Nude mouse subcutaneous tumor model:
[0211] Tumor cells for inoculation were cultured. After cell digestion, the cells were resuspended in serum-free medium and counted, adjusting the cell concentration to 1 × 10⁻⁶. 7 Tumor cells / ml; tumor cells were subcutaneously injected into the right back of five-week-old BALB / c-nu / nu mice. One to two weeks later, when the tumor reached 50-150 mm³, the mice were treated with oncolytic virus M1 via tail vein injection (1×10⁻⁶ cells / ml). 7 Mice were injected with 300 μL of pfu / ml for 7 days; tumor volume was recorded. The formula for calculating tumor volume is as follows:
[0212]
[0213] The mice were euthanized on a humanitarian basis when the tumor volume reached 2000 mm3. This animal experimental design was approved by the Animal Ethics Committee of Sun Yat-sen University School of Medicine.
[0214] To investigate whether upregulation of TPRA1 expression could increase the sensitivity of cells to oncolytic virus M1 killing, this example used UMUC3 cells overexpressing TPRA1 (prepared in Example 1) or empty vector cells for experiments. The results showed that, compared to control cells, M1 significantly enhanced the ability to kill cells overexpressing TPRA1. Figure 7 As shown in Figure A). The IC50 value of M1 killing tumor cells decreased from 5.109 MOI to 0.138 MOI. Figure 7 (As shown in Figure B). The above results indicate that TPRA1 promotes the killing effect of oncolytic virus M1 on tumor cells.
[0215] To investigate whether upregulation of TPRA1 expression in tumors promotes the antitumor effect of oncolytic virus M1 in vivo, this study constructed a subcutaneous tumor model in BALB / c-Nude nude mice using UMUC3 cells overexpressing TPRA1 or empty vector control, and treated them with continuous tail vein injection of M1. On day 3 after treatment, the level of M1 virus generated during tumor replication was measured. The results showed that the level of M1 virus in tumors overexpressing TPRA1 was significantly higher than that in the control group. Figure 7 As shown in Figure D), this indicates that TPRA1 expression can significantly increase M1 virus infection and replication in vivo.
[0216] Example 9: Correlation analysis between TPRA1 expression level and the antitumor effect of oncolytic virus M1
[0217] To investigate whether TPRA1 expression is positively correlated with the antitumor effect of oncolytic virus M1, this study infected 17 breast cancer cell lines with different doses (0, 0.1, 1, and 10 MOI) of oncolytic virus M1. Cell viability was assessed using the MTT assay after 72 hours, and the AUC value was calculated based on the cell viability curve. TPRA1 mRNA expression data were downloaded to the CCLE database (RPKM: Reads Per Kilobase Per Million Mapped Reads). AUC reflects the sensitivity of cells to oncolytic virus M1; a higher AUC indicates greater resistance to oncolytic virus M1, while a lower AUC indicates greater sensitivity. Figure 8 (As shown in Figure A). Correlation analysis results showed that the higher the expression level of TPRA1 in cells, the lower the AUC of oncolytic virus M1 killing (…). Figure 8 (As shown in C). The above results indicate that cells with higher TPRA1 expression levels are more sensitive to the killing effect of oncolytic virus M1.
[0218] Example 10: TPRA1 as a biomarker for evaluating the efficacy of oncolytic virus therapy
[0219] The oncolytic virus VRT106 was produced and supplied by Guangzhou Weirongte Pharmaceutical Technology Co., Ltd., batch number FJ20200915-1, with a concentration and titer of 1.37 × 10⁻⁶. 8 CCID 50 / mL. Take 13 mL of VRT106 and add it to 22.73 mL of PBS to prepare a titer of 5 × 10⁻⁶. 7 CCID 50 / mL, aliquot 1mL / tube, store at -80℃.
[0220] The modeling details of the homologous mouse tumor model are shown in Table 4. One hundred female BALB / C mice, 120 female C57BL / 6 mice, and 20 male C57BL / 6 mice (5-8 weeks old) were used in the experiment. The experimental animals were purchased from Beijing Vital River Laboratory Animal Technology Co., Ltd. or Jiangsu Jicui Pharmaceutical Biotechnology Co., Ltd., and the animal husbandry and VRT106 efficacy experiments were conducted by Crown Bioscience.
[0221] Table 4 Mouse modeling information
[0222]
[0223] Pharmacodynamic evaluation of VRT106 in a homologous mouse tumor model:
[0224] Once the cells entered the logarithmic growth phase and reached a sufficient number, they were collected and subcutaneously inoculated with cell suspension in homologous mice (modeling conditions are shown in Table 4). After tumor formation, the tumors grew to an average volume of 80–120 mm. 3 The mice were randomly grouped and given medication based on tumor size and body weight.
[0225] Twelve types of mouse cell lines were cultured in different culture media (see Table 1). Mouse homologous cells in the exponential growth phase were collected and resuspended in PBS to a suitable concentration for subcutaneous tumor inoculation in mice.
[0226] When the tumor grows to an average size of 80–120 mm 3 Based on tumor size and mouse weight, mice were randomly assigned to groups for drug administration using StudyDirector™ software. Specific grouping and drug administration treatments are shown in Table 5.

[0244] (1) Protein sample extraction
[0245] A. Prepare 1.5mL centrifuge tubes, and add 3 grinding beads and 300μL T-PER protein lysis buffer to each centrifuge tube.
[0246] B. Take about 30mg of tumor tissue and add it to a prepared 1.5mL centrifuge tube. Grind the tissue using a fully automated high-speed grinder at 60Hz for 60 seconds per cycle, for a total of 3 cycles.
[0247] C. Centrifuge the ground tissue lysis solution at 12,000 rpm for 5 minutes and collect the supernatant.
[0248] (2) Protein sample concentration determination and denaturation
[0249] Protein concentration was detected using the BCA assay kit (Thermo Fisher, 23227), and the procedure was performed according to the instructions.
[0250] (3) Western Blot
[0251] A. Prepare the electrophoresis buffer, remove the protective film from the pre-cast gel base, and correctly assemble the gel plates and electrophoresis tank. (The text abruptly ends here, likely due to an incomplete sentence or missing information.)
[0252] Inject electrophoresis buffer into the cavity, remove the comb, fill with buffer again, and let stand to observe for leakage; if there is no leakage, then place on the gel plate.
[0253] Add electrophoresis solution to half the height of the tank and assemble the electrophoresis tank;
[0254] B. Add 10 μL of sample to the precast gel according to the sample addition order, and add 4 μL and 2 μL of marker on both sides respectively.
[0255] C. After sample loading is complete, set a constant voltage of 120V and incubate for 60 minutes to begin electrophoresis. Observe the generation and direction of bubbles during the experiment.
[0256] D. Cut the PVDF membrane as needed and activate it by soaking it in methanol for 1 min; remove the PVDF membrane from the methanol and transfer it to the equilibration solution for 1 min; after electrophoresis is completed, disassemble the electrophoresis tank, remove the gel plate, carefully pry open the gel plate to remove the gel and place it in clean water; assemble the transfer insert in the order of cathode-sponge-gel-PVDF membrane-sponge-anodide and place it in the transfer apparatus for transfer.
[0257] E. After the transfer is complete, remove the insert, carefully remove the gel to avoid residue, rinse the membrane three times with purified water; absorb excess water, and place it in a rapid blocking solution for 20-30 minutes.
[0258] F. Based on the antibody preparation ratio, the TPRA1 antibody was diluted 1:1000, and the S-actin antibody was diluted 1:1000 to prepare the primary antibody working solution. After blocking, the bands were segmented according to the protein molecular weight and placed in the primary antibody working solution. The mixture was incubated overnight at 4°C on a shaker.
[0259] G. After incubation is complete, aspirate the primary antibody working solution, add TBST, and wash three times on a shaker for 5 minutes each time to remove excess antibody.

[0262] J. Mix equal volumes of colorimetric solutions A and B, and add them evenly to the membrane; then perform development and imaging.
[0263] 3. Data Processing
[0264] According to the measurement data, the body weight gain curves and tumor volume growth curves of each group of mice were statistically analyzed and plotted.
[0265] The calculation formula for tumor volume (Tumor volume, TV) is: V = 1 / 2 × a × b 2 , where a and b represent the major axis and minor axis of the tumor length, respectively.
[0266] Relative tumor volume (Relative tumor volume, RTV) = V t / V0. Where V0 is the tumor volume measured before cage separation and drug administration, and V t is the tumor volume at each measurement.
[0267] Tumor growth inhibition rate (Tumor growth inhibition, TGI) = (1 - TmRTV / CmRTV) × 100%, where TmRTV and CmRTV are the average relative tumor volumes at a certain time point in the treatment group and the control group, respectively.
[0268] Pearson correlation analysis was performed on the expression level of TPRA1 and the anti-tumor efficacy of VRT1_{06}. A correlation coefficient r > 0 indicates a positive correlation, r < 0 indicates a negative correlation; |r| ≤ 0.3 indicates no linear correlation, 0.3 ≤ |r| ≤ 0.5 indicates a low-degree linear relationship, 0.5 ≤ |r| ≤ 0.8 indicates a significant linear relationship, |r| > 0.8 indicates a high-degree linear relationship; 0.05 < p < 0.1 indicates that the data has a correlation trend.

[0283] 5. Conclusion
[0284] The basal expression level of TPRA1 protein in the mouse cell line control group was significantly linearly positively correlated with the antitumor efficacy of VRT106. The higher the basal level of TPRA1 protein, the better the antitumor efficacy of VRT106.
