Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical technology, and more particularly to an inhibitor of the interaction between CD97 and GSDME having antitumor activity, and its use. [Background technology]

[0002] Malignant tumors are currently one of the diseases that pose the most serious threat to human health. According to data from the World Health Organization's Institute for Cancer Research, in 2012, there were over 14 million new cases of malignant tumors worldwide, and approximately 8 million deaths were attributed to malignant tumors, making it one of the leading causes of death. Malignant tumors have become a major public health problem in China, surpassing cerebrovascular and cardiovascular diseases since 2010 to become the leading cause of death in China. With the accelerating aging of the population and the transformation of the environment and lifestyles, it is expected that the incidence and death rates from malignant tumors in China will continue to rise in the coming decades, posing a serious threat to the health of the people and imposing a serious disease burden on society. Currently, the usual treatment methods for malignant tumors include surgical treatment, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and biomodulatory therapy. Chemotherapy, as a systemic treatment tool, holds an important position in the treatment of malignant tumors that cannot be replaced by surgery or radiation therapy. In recent years, the emergence of new chemotherapy drugs has significantly improved the prognosis for cancer patients. However, the toxicity of chemotherapy drugs and drug resistance in tumor cells remain two major challenges that make chemotherapy difficult.

[0003] Gasdermin E (abbreviated as GSDME) is encoded by the DFNA5 gene and was first identified as a genetic cause of non-syndromic hearing loss. Recently, GSDME has been recognized as a pore-forming protein precursor. It is cleaved by Caspase-3, which is associated with apoptosis, or by granzyme B (GZMB) secreted from immune cells, releasing a pore-forming domain N-terminus containing one amino terminus. The N-terminus binds to the membrane, forming a pore with an inner diameter of 10-15 nanometers (nm), inducing pyroptosis of tumor cells. Pyroptosis of tumor cells not only suppresses the growth of the tumor itself, but also inhibits intratumoral infiltration of CD8 +By increasing the proportion of T and NK (Natural Killer Cell) cells, it is possible to promote the "thermal-cold conversion" of tumors. Therefore, tumor treatment strategies targeting GSDME represent a new direction in malignant tumor treatment. However, GSDME-positive malignancies do not show high sensitivity to chemotherapy and immunotherapy.

[0004] CD97 is a member of the epidermal growth factor-seven transmembrane (EGF-TM7) family and belongs to the class B G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Studies have shown that CD97 is involved in tumor differentiation, metastasis, invasion, and remission processes, and can be highly expressed in many cancers, including pancreatic cancer, cervical cancer, colon cancer, thyroid cancer, oral cancer, and leukemia. Therefore, the present invention provides an inhibitor of the interaction between CD97 and GSDME having antitumor activity and its use.

[0041] To better understand the technical features, objectives, and beneficial effects of the present invention, the technical means of the present invention will be described in detail below, but this should not be understood as limiting the scope of the invention. The experimental methods described in the following examples are all conventional methods unless otherwise specified, and the reagents and materials are all commercially available unless otherwise specified.

[0042] Example 1: Screening of CD97 molecules using a horizon G-PCR siRNA library As shown in Figure 3a, a screening system was first established. GSDME-positive cell line NCI-H446 was seeded in a 96-well plate, and after 24 hours, the system was transfected with a horizon G-PCR siRNA library (396 candidate genes). After 48 hours of transfection, naive NK cells were added according to a 5:1 effector cell to target cell ratio. The system was co-cultured overnight, the supernatant was taken, and IFN-γ release was detected using Elisa. The degree of NK cell activation indirectly reflects the susceptibility of tumor cells to NK cell killing. Using this screening system, genes FFAR1, FFAR2, FZD3, CXCR4, PTGER2, and ADGRE5 were screened for significantly increased IFN-γ release after knockdown. Based on this, further NK cell killing experiments were conducted, and it was ultimately found that knockdown of ADGRE5, i.e., the CD97 protein, significantly enhanced the susceptibility of SCLC cells to NK cell killing (Figure 3b).

[0043] Example 2: Knockdown of CD97 can enhance the sensitivity of GSDME-positive tumor cells to immunokilling. CD97 (CD97-KD) was knocked out in three tumor cell lines expressing GSDME using siRNA: NCI-H446, NCI-H1688, and A375 (Figure 4a). After transfecting the cells and culturing them with donor-grown NK cells for 4 hours, the tumor cells' susceptibility to NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity was evaluated by the release of calcein. In all cases, knocking out CD97 made the tumor cells more susceptible to NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity (Figure 4b). Conversely, in NCI-H446 tumor cells, ectopic expression of CD97 restored sensitivity to CD97-KD-induced NK cell toxicity (Figure 4c and d). A large number of pyrotose bodies were observed in CD97-KD tumor cells co-cultured with NK cells (Figure 4e). To determine whether NK cell-induced killing is mediated by GSDME-mediated pyrotosis when CD97 expression is reduced, we constructed GSDME-deficient NCI-H446 and A375 cell models and tested how NK cells react to GSDME-deficient NK cells. + / + It exhibits strong cytotoxicity against tumor cells, but GSDME - / - We found that it was not toxic to tumor cells (Figure 4f). As these findings clearly indicate, knocking out CD97 makes tumor cells sensitive to NK cell killing through a mechanism that requires GSDME.

[0044] Example 3: Treatment with cholesterol-modified CD97 siRNA can control the in vivo growth of malignant tumors. C57BL / 6 mouse with 2x10 5 B16F0 cells were subcutaneously injected, and when the subcutaneous tumor grew to 5 × 5 mm, treatment was initiated by injecting cholesterol-modified CD97 siRNA (Chol-siCD97) or unrelated sequence siRNA (Chol-scramble) into the tumor, and the growth of the subcutaneous tumors in mice was recorded (Figure 5a). Subsequently, the growth of mouse tumors after the above treatment was recorded using CT26 and 4T1 mouse tumor models (Figure 5b and c), demonstrating that treatment with cholesterol-modified CD97 siRNA can control the in vivo growth of malignant tumors.

[0045] Example 4: CD97 can bind to the cleavage site of GSDME, protecting it from Caspase-3 and GZMB-mediated cleavage. When human primary NK cells were stimulated and the cleavage status of GSDME was detected by Western blot experiments, it was found that the GSDME protein was more easily cleaved after CD97 knockdown in malignant tumor cells (Figure 6a). After overexpressing CD97, the whole cell lysate of GSDME-positive tumors was treated with recombinant Caspase-3 purified protein at 37°C for 30 minutes, and the cleavage status of GSDME was detected by Western blot. It was found that the GSDME cleavage rate of malignant tumor cells in the CD97 overexpression group was significantly reduced (Figure 6b). This effect on cleavage activity was recovered (rescue) after pretreatment of tumor cells with the Caspase-3 inhibitor zDEVD 30 minutes prior (Figure 6c). It was also recovered (rescue) after pretreatment of NK cells with the GZMB inhibitor zIETD-fmk 30 minutes prior (Figure 6d). Furthermore, experiments using endogenous immunoprecipitation (Figure 6e) and direct interaction of in vitro purified proteins (Figure 6f) revealed that CD97 protein and GSDME protein interact directly. Based on different domains of GSDME, different deletion mutants (Figure 6g) were designed, centering on the cleavage site of GSDME. After introducing each into 293T cells, the pull-down status of the interacting protein CD97 was detected using immunoprecipitation technology. The results showed that a 250-290 amino acid deletion mutant (△250-290) in the cleavage site region of GSDME affected CD97 and its binding, suggesting that the binding site between CD97 and GSDME is located in the cleavage site region of GSDME (Figure 6h). In addition, in in vitro cleavage experiments, adding CD97 protein to recombinant Caspase-3 and GZMB cleavage systems significantly reduced their cleavage efficiency toward GSDME (Figure 6I).

[0046] Example 5 Screening of CD97-GSDME interaction inhibitors using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy 1. Preparation of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs): A 250 mL three-necked flask was immersed in an acid tank overnight. The next day, it was removed and thoroughly rinsed, then washed three times with pure water to ensure the inner wall was clean and free of impurities. It was dried in an oven and cooled to room temperature. Meanwhile, 0.018 g of silver nitrate powder was accurately weighed and carefully added to the three-necked flask. 100 mL of ultrapure water was added and shaken uniformly. The solution was connected to a condenser, and the mantle heater was set to 100°C. The solution was heated while stirring until it was slightly boiling, and then 2 mL of 1% sodium citrate solution was rapidly added. The color change of the solution was observed, from pale yellow to dark yellow, and then to grayish-green. When the color stopped changing, the temperature was slightly reduced to 90°C, and stirring was continued for 40 minutes with a magnetic stirrer to obtain a silver nanoparticle dispersion. The absorbance curve of the silver nanoparticles was measured using an ultraviolet spectrophotometer. By diluting the silver nanoparticles threefold and detecting them, it was preliminaryly determined that the synthesized particle size was uniform, as the maximum absorption wavelength range (420-480 nm) was correct and there were no other impurity peaks (Figure 7a). The transmission electron microscope image (Figure 7b) shows that the particle size is approximately 50 nm, indicating uniform size and good dispersion. A=kbc(A=Amax, k=3×10) 11 M -1 cm -1 The concentration of silver nanoparticles was calculated using the formula (b = 1 cm). The samples were stored at 4°C and prepared for use.

[0047] 2. Manufacturing of magnetic nanoparticles: Commercial carboxyl-based magnetic beads (500 nm) manufactured by Shanghai Aladdin Co., Ltd. are prepared to a concentration of 0.5 mg / mL, washed three times with magnetic bead storage solution and magnetically separated, resuspended in the storage solution to prevent aggregation of the magnetic beads, stored at 4°C, and prepared for use.

[0048] 3. Synthesizing an interaction inhibitor of CD97-GSDME and screening two related Raman probes, the specific process is shown in Figure 1.

[0049] (1) Preparation of AgNPs@GSDME silver probe: 1 mL of silver nanoparticle AgNPs (0.25 nM) and 20 μL of Tween 20 were homogeneously mixed in a 1.5 mL EP tube for 20 min to prevent aggregation during the surface modification process of AgNPs. 10 μL of 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) (2.5 mM) and 10 μL of N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) (2.5 mM) were added and reacted for 1 hour. The mixture was then centrifuged at 4000 g for 7 min to remove excess activator and resuspended. Subsequently, 2 μL of GSDME (1 mg / mL) and 25 μL of 4-MBA (1 mM; if using a 96-well plate, do not add 4-MBA in this step) were added to the solution and reacted at room temperature for 1 hour. Unreacted molecules were removed by centrifugation (4000 g, 7 min) and resuspended. Store the manufactured AgNPs@GSDME at 4°C and prepare for use.

[0050] (2) Preparation of MNs@CD97 magnetic probe: Take 500 μL of carboxyl group magnetic beads (0.5 mg / mL), add 5 μL of Tween 20, mix homogeneously for 30 min, then add 10 μL of EDC / NHS (100 mM), activate for 1 hour, remove excess activator by magnetic separation, wash the magnetic beads again with PBS buffer, and resuspend. Add 2 μL of CD97 (1 mg / mL) to the magnetic bead solution and react at room temperature for 1 hour. Remove the magnetic beads by magnetic separation and wash three times to remove nonspecifically bound proteins, then resuspend in PBS buffer to obtain MNs@CD97, store at 4°C and prepare for use.

[0051] 4. Development of a screening platform for CD97-GSDME interaction inhibitors Using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) as the sensing principle, we constructed a high-throughput targeted drug screening platform (SERScreen) for screening CD97-GSDME interaction inhibitors.

[0052] Negative control: Evaluation of immunoaffinity structure: Raman probes were prepared immediately before use, and silver probes and magnetic probes were mixed in a 3:1 volume ratio. After incubation for 60 minutes, samples were taken, and the Raman signal was immediately detected and plotted. This signal was used as the negative control. The electron micrograph (Figure 8) is shown below. After incubation and washing three times, a large amount of silver probes (small spheres) adhered to the surface of the magnetic probe (large sphere) in the visible field, demonstrating that the probe preparation was successful. The two formed a silver-magnetic probe complex under protein-protein interaction. After magnetic aggregation under magnetic field drive, Raman detection was performed on the aggregated probe sites in a standard PCR tube (exposure time was 1 s, exposure count was 10, and the average value was taken). The result showed enhancement of the characteristic peak of the 4-MBA signal molecule.

[0053] 5. High-throughput screening of small molecule combinatorial compound libraries for CD97-GSDME interaction targets using SERScreen High-throughput screening was performed using well plates, with a 96-well plate used as an example. 150 μL of AgNPs@GSDME (unlabeled with 4-MBA) was added to each well, followed by the addition of a different small molecule compound (7 μM) corresponding to each well. Then, 50 μL of MNs@CD97 was added to each well, the mixture was reacted for 1 hour, magnetically separated, washed three times, and resuspended in PBS buffer. 4 μL of 4-MBA (1 mM) was added to each well, the mixture was reacted for 1 hour, magnetically separated, washed three times, and magnetic aggregation was performed again. SERS detection was performed at the aggregation sites of the probe (633 nm, exposure time 1 s, 10 exposures, average value taken). During data processing, batch detection was performed three times for each small molecule, and parallel measurements were performed at least three times for each detection. After removing impurity peaks and reducing the baseline using NGSLabSpec software, the final spectral data for each well was processed and plotted (Figure 9).

[0054] The specific process is as follows:

[0055] (1) Negative control: Evaluation of immunoaffinity structure: Raman probes were prepared immediately before use, and silver probes and magnetic probes were mixed in a volume ratio of 150 μL:50 μL in a 96-well plate. After incubation for 60 minutes, samples were taken and Raman signal detection was performed immediately.

[0056] (2) Experimental group: Evaluation of immunoaffinity inhibitory efficacy: 150 μL of silver probe and 50 μL of magnetic probe were accurately aspirated, and the screening compound was added simultaneously. After incubation for 60 minutes, Raman signal detection was performed in a 96-well plate. The exposure time was set to 1 s and the number of exposures to 10, and the average value was taken to determine whether or not the compound had binding inhibitory activity. A weaker Raman signal indicates a potential inhibitory effect. Potentially promising small molecules were selected from the compound library and subjected to subsequent experiments, and finally screened to obtain new small molecule inhibitors. A small molecule compound to be screened was added to each group at a final concentration of 7 μM. The final group and number were (1:1, 2:67, 3:66, 4:69, 5:71, 6:90, 7:128, 8:267, 9:1071, 10:1428, 11:779, 12:1544, 13:145, 14:163, 15:550, 16:571, 17:1365, 18:1615, 19:1695, 20:1808, 21: Negative control: immunoaffinity structure). After culturing with the probe for 60 minutes, Raman detection was performed, and the number of the small molecule that significantly reduced the Raman signal was recorded. As can be seen from the screening results, small molecule number 71 (WXLL-5471) showed good inhibitory activity (Figure 9 a and b) and is a potential small molecule inhibitor of the interaction target of CD97-GSDME.

[0057] (3) Quantitative detection of candidate small molecule WXLL-5471: Quantitative experiments were performed on the screened inhibitor WXLL-5471. The inhibitor was diluted in buffer solution to the corresponding concentration gradient (Figure 10a). Raman measurements were performed in parallel, using the same detection method as above, and a corresponding concentration gradient scatter plot was created (Figure 10b). As a result of evaluating this, it was demonstrated that as the small molecule concentration increased, the SERS signal weakened regularly, and the inhibitory effect on the interaction target of CD97-GSDME increased stepwise, confirming that the small molecule is a potential inhibitor.

[0058] Example 6: Compound WXLL-5471 can enhance the cleavage of tumor cell GSDME protein in the immunokilling process. Flag-GSDME was introduced into 293T cells, and after pretreatment for 18 hours with different concentrations of the compound WXLL-5471, pull-down enrichment was performed using Flag magnetic beads. Finally, the enrichment status of the CD97 protein was detected using a western blot. The results showed that the efficiency of CD97 enrichment decreased as the concentration of the WXLL-7451 compound increased (Figure 11a), indicating that the compound WXLL-5471 has a significant inhibitory effect on the interaction between CD97 and GSDME. GSDME-positive malignant tumor cells were pretreated for 18 hours with 5 μm of the compound WXLL-5471 or DMSO, then the malignant tumor cells were stained with calcein, and human primary NK cells were added in an effector cell to target cell ratio of 5:1. After co-culture for 16 hours, the degree of calcein release was detected (Figure 11b). After processing under the above conditions, malignant tumor cells were selected and further Western blot detection was performed to detect the cleavage status of GSDME. The results showed that after treatment with the compound WXLL-7451, GSDME cleavage was clearly increased in malignant tumor cells under NK cell immunostimulation (Figure 11c).

[0059] Example 7: Demonstration of the safety of compound WXLL-5471 by in vivo experiment. For C57BL / 6 mice, body weight was recorded starting one day before intraperitoneal injection of physiological saline or WXLL-5471, which was designated as day 0. Subsequently, injections were administered continuously for 8 days, and monitoring was performed (10 mice per group). Body weight changes are shown in Figure 12a. For B16 tumor-bearing mice, intraperitoneal injection of physiological saline or WXLL-5471 was administered continuously for 8 days. Orbital blood samples were then taken, and routine blood tests and biochemical parameters were evaluated (routine blood tests were performed on 8 mice per group, and biochemical parameters on 7 mice per group). The results of routine blood tests and biochemical parameters are shown in Figures 12b and c, respectively. As can be seen from the results, no significant weight loss, hematological toxicity, or liver, kidney, or myocardial dysfunction was observed.

[0060] Example 8: Demonstration of the immunotoxicity-enhancing effect of compound WXLL-5471 against malignant tumors by in vitro experiment. Human primary NK cells and mouse spleen NK cells pretreated with NCI-H446 (left) and B16 (right) using DSMO or WXLL-5471 (5.0 μm), respectively, were used to induce 18 hours of cell lysis (human NK E / T ratio was 5:1, mouse NK E / T ratio was 20:1, N=5 donors / mice in each group). In vitro toxication experiments verified that the compound WXLL-5471 significantly enhances immunotoxicity against malignant tumor cells (Figure 2).

[0061] Example 9: In vivo therapeutic effect of compound WXLL-5471 on malignant tumors. To evaluate the in vivo therapeutic effect of WXLL-5471, BALB / c mice carrying CT26 tumors and C57 mice carrying B16 tumors were administered 100 mg / kg intraperitoneally. Four days after subcutaneous injection of tumor cells, WXLL-5471 or saline was administered intraperitoneally daily to monitor subcutaneous tumor growth. The results showed that WXLL-5471 had a significant inhibitory effect on tumor growth (Figure 13a). However, this therapeutic effect is associated with mGSDME. D267A / D270A and mGSDME - / -It was not present in B16 tumors (Figure 13b), indicating that the in vivo antitumor effect of WXLL-5471 is dependent on the fission activity of GSDME in tumors. After continuous administration of WXLL-5471 or saline for 7 days, the difference in the number and activity of individual immune cells in the B16 tumor microenvironment was compared using mass cytometry (n=4 mice). The mass cytometry t-SNE plot shows the composition of intratumoral immune cells in B16 tumors treated with saline or WXLL-5471 for 7 days (n=5 mice in each group) (Figure 13c), and the volcano plot shows the line changes in immune cell types and adjusted p-values ​​(Figure 13d). As can be seen from the results in the figures, WXLL-5471 treatment significantly increased the number of invasive NK cells (Figures 13c and d), and also increased the number of invasive NK and CD8 cells. + T cell activity was significantly increased, and the expression of CD69, GZMB, CD107a, IFN-γ, and Ki-67 was elevated (Figure 13e and f). PD1 / PDL1 immune checkpoint therapy is an important treatment option for various malignant tumors, including malignant melanoma. The exploration of effective combination therapy strategies is expected to improve the clinical efficacy of malignant tumor immunotherapy. Therefore, we preliminaryly investigated the effect of WXLL-5471 treatment on PD1 expression in B16 tumor-infiltrating immune cells. WXLL-5471 treatment increased CD8 + WXLL-5471 significantly increased PD1 expression in T (Figure 13g). Based on this, the combination of WXLL-5471 and an anti-pd1 antibody more effectively controlled the growth of mouse B16 tumors (Figure 13h) and significantly extended the overall survival of mice (Figure 13i).
