Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a PHB2-derived peptide that inhibits BIG3-PHB2 interaction and a breast cancer therapeutic agent containing the same. [Background technology]
[0002] Estrogen receptor α (ERα) plays a central role in the development and progression of breast cancer. Recent endocrine therapies for breast cancer primarily target ERα signaling using selective ERα modulators (e.g., tamoxifen and raloxifene), ERα downregulators (e.g., fulvestrant), and aromatase inhibitors (AIs) (Non-Patent Documents 1-3). Among these therapies, tamoxifen, which inhibits breast cancer cell proliferation through competitive binding to ERα, is the standard treatment for patients with ERα-positive breast cancer. However, tamoxifen therapy is often ineffective, and patients may die from endocrine therapy-resistant tumor recurrence (Non-Patent Documents 4 and 5). AIs, which block estrogen synthesis, offer substantial clinical benefits compared to tamoxifen, including better efficacy, significantly longer recurrence-free survival, and prolonged recurrence time in postmenopausal women. However, some patients who receive AI therapy experience recurrence (Non-Patent Documents 6 and 7). The exact molecular events that influence the efficacy of these endocrine therapies remain to be elucidated.
[0003] The complex between the cancer-specific protein brefeldin A-inhibited guanine nucleotide-exchange protein 3 (BIG3) and the tumor suppressor prohibitin 2 (PHB2) plays a central role in regulating estrogen signaling in ERα-positive breast cancer (Non-Patent Documents 8, 9). BIG3 binds to PHB2 and inhibits its ability to suppress estrogen-dependent transcriptional activation, resulting in constitutive ERα activity. Based on these findings, a strategy of inhibiting the BIG3-PHB2 interaction to release PHB2 from its complex with BIG3 and thereby exerting the tumor-suppressing activity of PHB2 could be a novel therapy for breast cancer. Based on this strategy, the present inventors previously developed a BIG3 dominant-negative peptide that specifically inhibits the BIG3-PHB2 interaction (Patent Document 1). This peptide has been confirmed to reactivate the tumor-suppressing activity of PHB2, thereby inhibiting the ERα signaling pathway that leads to breast cancer proliferation and suppressing breast cancer proliferation (Patent Document 1).

Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0006] As mentioned above, it has been revealed that the estrogen receptor (ER) activation control molecule BIG3 interacts with the inhibitory factor PHB2 to lead to constitutive activation of ER, and that the BIG3-PHB2 interaction target inhibitory peptide (ERAP: amino acid sequence from positions 165 to 177 of the BIG3 protein (QMLSDLTLQLRQR: SEQ ID NO: 33) has an inhibitory effect on the proliferation of estrogen (E2)-dependent breast cancer cells (Patent Document 1, WO2017 / 126461). However, although ERAP derived from the BIG3 sequence inhibits the interaction by binding to PHB2, since PHB2 is expressed in organs throughout the human body, the occurrence of non-selective effects in organs other than cancer tissue cannot be denied.
[0007] Therefore, an objective of the present invention is to provide a therapeutic strategy that targets the BIG3-PHB2 interaction and is expected to have high selectivity for breast cancer. [Means for solving the problem]
[0008] The present inventors designed several PHB2-derived peptides (PHB2 peptides) based on data on protein interaction candidate regions on the PHB2 amino acid sequence predicted through in silico analysis, and used them to proceed with screening to identify the interaction region using cell proliferation inhibitory effects as an indicator. As a result, PHB2 peptide No. 1 (11-RLPAGPRGMGTA-22 (SEQ ID NO: 1)) and PHB2 peptide No. 5 (76-QYPIIYDIRARPRKI-90 (SEQ ID NO: 5)) each showed a proliferation inhibitory effect of approximately 50%, and in particular, the combined use of PHB2 peptides No. 1 and No. 5 showed a similar effect to ERAP. Over 90% We successfully demonstrated growth inhibitory effects and inhibitory effects on BIG3-PHB2 interaction. Furthermore, these effects were also observed with peptides consisting of sequences surrounding PHB2 peptides No. 1 and No. 5, as well as peptides with amino acid substitutions at various positions in PHB2 peptides No. 1 and No. 5.
[0009] On the other hand, PHB2 peptides No. 1 and No. 5 also showed cell growth inhibitory effects in triple-negative breast cancer cells, which do not express estrogen receptors but do express BIG3. Furthermore, the combined use of these peptides enhanced the effect. Triple-negative breast cancer grows independently of hormones and other growth signals, and proliferation is thought to be activated by the binding of PHB2 and BIG3 without the receipt of these signals within the cells. These results suggest that PHB2-derived peptides may inhibit cell growth by inhibiting the binding of BIG3 and PHB2, at least in breast cancers that express BIG3.
[0010] Thus, the present inventors have discovered PHB2-derived peptides that inhibit BIG3-PHB2 interaction and exert antitumor effects against E2-dependent breast cancer and triple-negative breast cancer, and have completed the present invention.

[0013] The peptide of the present invention has the ability to bind to BIG3, a protein that is specifically highly expressed in estrogen receptor-positive cancers, rather than PHB2, which is expressed in all organs of the human body, and can inhibit the BIG3-PHB2 interaction. Therefore, the peptide of the present invention is expected to have high selectivity for estrogen receptor-positive cancers. Furthermore, the peptides of the present invention exhibit growth-inhibitory effects not only on estrogen-dependent breast cancer cells but also on triple-negative breast cancer cells. Until now, there have been no effective molecular-targeted therapeutic agents for triple-negative breast cancer, and the only treatment options have been existing anticancer drugs with strong side effects. On the other hand, the cell growth-inhibitory effect of the peptides of the present invention was not observed in normal mammary epithelial cells in which BIG3 expression is not observed. These findings suggest that the peptides of the present invention are useful as therapeutic agents for BIG3-positive cancers, regardless of whether they are hormone-dependent or not.

[Figure 8-2] (D) PHB2 peptides consisting of peptides No. 2 (42-50aa) and No. 3 (38-50aa) with aa 51-57 added.

The PHB2 peptides of SEQ ID NOs: 109, 113, 114, 118, and 122 were made non-cross-linked by adding alanines to both ends. The PHB2 peptides of SEQ ID NOs: 106-114 had polyarginine added to the C-terminus. Furthermore, to avoid oxidation during synthesis of the 11-21aa PHB2 peptide, the methionine at position 19 in the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 28 (full-length PHB2 polypeptide) was replaced with norleucine (Nle). [Figure 10-2] (C) Human breast cancer cell line MCF-7 was treated with the 11-21aa crosslinked PHB2 peptide (left panel) or the 76-88aa crosslinked PHB2 peptide (right panel), followed immediately by stimulation with 10 nM estrogen. 24 hours later, cell numbers were assessed by MTT assay.

(A) Crosslinked forms of the cyclic 11-21aa (SEQ ID NO: 25) and 76-88aa (SEQ ID NO: 26) PHB2 peptides are shown. The cyclic PHB2 peptides of SEQ ID NOs: 125 and 128 were converted to non-crosslinked cyclic peptides by adding alanine residues to both ends of the 11-21aa and 76-88aa PHB2 peptides. All cyclic PHB2 peptides contained an unnatural amino acid and multiple consecutive arginine residues at the C-terminus. Furthermore, to avoid oxidation during synthesis, the 11-21aa cyclic PHB2 peptide contained norleucine (Nle) instead of methionine at position 19 in the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 28 (full-length PHB2 polypeptide). (B) Human breast cancer cell line MCF-7 was treated with cyclic PHB2 peptide and immediately stimulated with 10 nM estrogen. 24 hours later, cell numbers were assessed by MTT assay. Data represent the mean ± standard deviation of three independent experiments. [Figure 12] The effect of altering the 11-22aa PHB2 peptide on estrogen-dependent proliferation is shown. (A) This shows the PHB2 peptide of SEQ ID NO: 1 (11-22aa), in which the 15th and 18th glycines in the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 28 (full-length PHB2 polypeptide) were substituted with D-alanine and D-leucine, respectively. (B) The human breast cancer cell line MCF-7 was treated with the 11-22aa altered PHB2 peptide, immediately followed by stimulation with 10 nM estrogen. 24 hours later, cell numbers were assessed by MTT assay. Data represent the mean ± standard deviation of three independent experiments. [Figure 13] Figure 1 shows the effect of cross-linked PHB2 peptide on the proliferation of normal mammary epithelial cells MCF-10A. Figure 2 shows the results of an MTT assay, which demonstrated that cross-linked and cyclic PHB2 peptides had no effect on the proliferation of normal mammary epithelial cells MCF-10A. Data represent the mean ± standard deviation of three independent experiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Preferred examples of modifications include acetylation of the amino group, amidation of the carboxyl group, and addition of tag peptides such as FLAG tag and HA tag.
[0018] Furthermore, in this specification, unless otherwise specified, numbers indicating the positions of amino acid residues in an amino acid sequence are assigned in order toward the C-terminus, with the N-terminal amino acid residue being numbered 1.
[0019] As used herein, the term "BIG3" refers to brefeldin A-inhibited guanine nucleotide-exchange protein 3. BIG3 forms a complex with PHB2, thereby inhibiting the function of PHB2 in suppressing estrogen-dependent transcriptional activation. BIG3 is also referred to as "ARFGEF3 (ARFGEF family member 3)" or "A7322." A representative example of the nucleotide sequence of the human BIG3 gene is shown in SEQ ID NO: 31 (GenBank Accession No. NM_020340.4), and the amino acid sequence encoded thereby is shown in SEQ ID NO: 32. In the present invention, BIG3 is not limited to that encoded by the nucleotide sequence, but also includes isoforms and mutants thereof.
[0020] As used herein, the term "PHB2" refers to prohibitin 2. PHB2 binds to the estrogen receptor, inhibits the estrogen receptor signaling pathway, and suppresses estrogen-dependent cell proliferation. PHB2 is also referred to as "REA (Repressor of Estrogen Activity)." Representative examples of the nucleotide sequences of the human PHB2 gene are shown in SEQ ID NO: 27 (GenBank Accession No. NM_001144831.1) and SEQ ID NO: 29 (GenBank Accession No. NM_001267700.1), and the amino acid sequences encoded thereby are shown in SEQ ID NO: 28 and SEQ ID NO: 30, respectively. In the present invention, PHB2 is not limited to those encoded by the above nucleotide sequences, but also includes their isoforms and mutants.
[0021] The term "estrogen receptor" as used herein encompasses both estrogen receptor α (ERα) and estrogen receptor β (ERβ). ERα and ERβ are encoded by the ESR1 gene and ESR2 gene, respectively. The nucleotide sequence of a representative human ESR1 gene and the amino acid sequence of human ERα are shown in SEQ ID NO: 86 (GenBank Accession No. NM_000125.3) and SEQ ID NO: 87 (GenBank Accession No. NP_000116.2), respectively. The nucleotide sequence of a representative human ESR2 gene and the amino acid sequence of human ERβ are shown in SEQ ID NO: 88 (GenBank Accession No. NM_001437.2) and SEQ ID NO: 89 (GenBank Accession No. NP_001428.1), respectively. However, in the present invention, the nucleotide sequence and amino acid sequence of the estrogen receptor are not limited to these and include their isoforms and variants. In a preferred embodiment, the estrogen receptor is ERα. It has been reported that the transcriptional activation of both ERα and ERβ is controlled by the PHB2 polypeptide (Montano MM, et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 96(12): 6947-52(1999)). As used herein, the term "estrogen receptor-positive" in reference to cells or cancer means that the cells or cancer cells that constitute the cancer express the estrogen receptor. Whether or not a cell is estrogen receptor-positive can be confirmed by known methods such as ELISA or immunohistochemical staining. Furthermore, as used herein, the term "estrogen receptor-negative" in reference to cells or cancer means that the cells or cancer cells that constitute the cancer do not express the estrogen receptor.
[0022] The term "ERAP" as used herein refers to a peptide consisting of the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 33. The amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 33 is a sequence consisting of amino acid residues at positions 165 to 177 of the amino acid sequence of BIG3 (SEQ ID NO: 32), and contains amino acid residues important for binding to PHB2 (glutamine (Q) at position 165, aspartic acid (D) at position 169, and glutamine (Q) at position 173 in the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 32). ERAP has the ability to bind to PHB2, and inhibits the formation of a complex between BIG3 and PHB2 by competitively binding to PHB2.
[0023] The term "treatment" as used herein includes alleviating or improving at least one symptom caused by a target disease, inhibiting the progression of the disease, inhibiting the spread of the disease site, etc. For example, "treatment of cancer" includes inhibiting the proliferation of cancer cells, inhibiting the progression of cancer, inducing regression or remission of cancer, alleviating or improving symptoms associated with cancer, inhibiting cancer metastasis, inhibiting postoperative recurrence, and inducing an extension of survival time.
[0024] 1. PHB2 peptide The present invention provides peptides that contain the binding site of a PHB2 polypeptide to a BIG3 polypeptide and inhibit the binding between the PHB2 polypeptide and a BIG3 polypeptide. The peptides of the present invention are also referred to herein as "PHB2 peptides," "PHB2-derived peptides," or "PHB2 sequence-derived peptides." The peptides of the present invention have the ability to bind to BIG3 polypeptides by containing the binding site of the PHB2 polypeptide with BIG3 polypeptides. As a result, they competitively inhibit the binding of PHB2 polypeptides to BIG3 polypeptides. The PHB2 peptides of the present invention can also be in the form of salts, so long as they have the ability to inhibit the binding between PHB2 polypeptides and BIG3 polypeptides. For example, they can be salts with acids (inorganic acids, organic acids, etc.) or bases (alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, amines, etc.). Examples of salts with acids include salts with inorganic acids (e.g., hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, acetic acid, etc.) and salts with organic acids (e.g., acetic acid, formic acid, propionic acid, fumaric acid, maleic acid, succinic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, malic acid, oxalic acid, benzoic acid, methanesulfonic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, meglumine acid, etc.). Examples of salts with bases include salts with sodium, potassium, calcium, and ammonium. Preferred examples of the salt of the peptide of the present invention include acetate, hydrochloride, meglumine, and ammonium salt.
[0025] The term "binding site in a PHB2 polypeptide with a BIG3 polypeptide" refers to an amino acid residue in the amino acid sequence constituting a PHB2 polypeptide that is involved in binding to a BIG3 polypeptide. Examples of such amino acid residues include glycines at positions 15 and 18 and aspartic acid at position 82 in the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 28 (full-length PHB2 polypeptide). Therefore, in a preferred embodiment, the peptide of the present invention is a peptide that contains glycines at positions 15 and 18 and aspartic acid at position 82 in the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 28 (full-length PHB2 polypeptide), and inhibits binding between a PHB2 polypeptide and a BIG3 polypeptide. In this specification, the number of a specific amino acid residue in an amino acid sequence indicates the number of the amino acid residue counted from the N-terminus.
[0026] Examples of amino acid sequences in the PHB2 polypeptide that contain the binding site with the BIG3 polypeptide include (a) all or part of the amino acid sequence consisting of amino acids 11 to 21 (SEQ ID NO: 84), (b) all or part of the amino acid sequence consisting of amino acids 76 to 88 (SEQ ID NO: 85), and (c) all or part of the amino acid sequence consisting of amino acids 44 to 57 (SEQ ID NO: 82) in the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 28 (full-length PHB2 polypeptide). Therefore, preferred examples of the peptides of the present invention include peptides containing an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of the following (a) to (c): (a) an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 1 and 36 to 41 (PHB2 sequence-derived peptide Nos. 1 and 36 to 41); (b) an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 5 and 47 to 53 (PHB2 sequence-derived peptide Nos. 5, 47 to 53); and (c) An amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 82 to 83 (PHB2 sequence-derived peptide Nos. 82 to 83). However, the peptides of the present invention are not limited to these, and the amino acid sequence constituting the peptide is not particularly limited as long as it contains the binding site in the PHB2 polypeptide with the BIG3 polypeptide and has the activity of inhibiting the binding between the PHB2 polypeptide and the BIG3 polypeptide.
[0027] It is generally known that modification of one or more amino acids in a peptide does not affect the function of the peptide. In fact, it is known that peptides having an amino acid sequence modified by substitution, deletion, insertion, and / or addition of one or more amino acid residues retain the biological activity of the original peptide (Mark et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 81(18): 5662-6(1984); Zoller and Smith, Nucleic Acids Res 10(20): 6487-500(1982); Dalbadie-McFarland et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 79(21): 6409-13(1982)). The peptides of the present invention may contain, for example, substitutions or deletions of amino acid residues at positions other than the BIG3 polypeptide-binding site in the PHB2 polypeptide, or insertions or additions of amino acid residues at positions that do not affect binding to the BIG3 polypeptide, as long as they contain the binding site in the PHB2 polypeptide and have the activity of inhibiting binding between the PHB2 polypeptide and the BIG3 polypeptide. In fact, in the Examples herein, it has been shown that peptides having amino acid sequences in which amino acid residues other than the BIG3 polypeptide-binding site in the PHB2 polypeptide are substituted with other amino acid residues also retain biological activity equivalent to that of peptides without such substitutions. Thus, the peptides of the present invention include peptides comprising an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of the following (a') to (b') and having the activity of inhibiting binding between the PHB2 polypeptide and the BIG3 polypeptide: (a') an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 1 and 36 to 41 (PHB2 sequence-derived peptide Nos. 1 and 36 to 41), in which one, two or several amino acid residues other than those corresponding to the 15th glycine and the 18th glycine in the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 28 (full-length PHB2 polypeptide) are substituted with other amino acid residues; and (b') An amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 5 and 47 to 53 (PHB2 sequence-derived peptide Nos. 5, 47 to 53), in which one, two or several amino acid residues other than those corresponding to the 82nd aspartic acid in the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 28 (full length PHB2 polypeptide) are substituted with other amino acid residues.
[0028] In the above (a') to (b'), the amino acid residues to be substituted may be any amino acid residues, as long as the ability to inhibit the binding between the PHB2 polypeptide and the BIG3 polypeptide is maintained. The amino acid residues to be substituted can also be determined by predicting amino acid residues not involved in the binding with the BIG3 peptide, for example, using a calculation method such as PSIVER. The number of amino acid residues to be substituted is also not particularly limited, as long as the ability to inhibit the binding between the PHB2 polypeptide and the BIG3 polypeptide is maintained; one, two, or several amino acid residues may be substituted. "Several" preferably refers to six, five, four, or three amino acid residues.
[0029] It is generally recognized that substitution of an original amino acid residue with another amino acid residue that conserves the properties of the amino acid side chain tends not to affect the function of the original peptide. Such substitutions are often referred to as "conservative substitutions" or "conservative modifications." Therefore, the substitutions in (a') to (b') above are preferably conservative substitutions. Conservative substitution tables showing functionally similar amino acids are well known in the art. Examples of amino acid side chain properties that are desirable to conserve include, for example, hydrophobic amino acids (A, I, L, M, F, P, W, Y, V), hydrophilic amino acids (R, D, N, C, E, Q, G, H, K, S, T), and side chains that share the following functional groups or features: aliphatic side chains (G, A, V, L, I, P); hydroxyl-containing side chains (S, T, Y); sulfur-containing side chains (C, M); carboxylic acid- and amide-containing side chains (D, N, E, Q); base-containing side chains (R, K, H); and aromatic-containing side chains (H, F, Y, W). In addition, the following eight groups each contain amino acids that are recognized in the art as conservative substitutions for one another: 1) Alanine (A), Glycine (G); 2) aspartic acid (D), glutamic acid (E); 3) asparagine (N), glutamine (Q); 4) arginine (R), lysine (K); 5) isoleucine (I), leucine (L), methionine (M), valine (V); 6) phenylalanine (F), tyrosine (Y), tryptophan (W); 7) serine (S), threonine (T); and 8) Cysteine (C), Methionine (M) (see, e.g., Creighton, Proteins 1984).
[0030] However, the substitutions in (a') to (b') above are not limited to these, and non-conservative substitutions may also be used as long as the activity of inhibiting the binding between the PHB2 polypeptide and the BIG3 polypeptide is maintained. The peptides of the present invention may contain amino acid residues other than those at the binding site with the BIG3 polypeptide in the PHB2 polypeptide, so long as they maintain the activity of inhibiting the binding between the PHB2 polypeptide and the BIG3 polypeptide. For example, a fragment of the PHB2 polypeptide containing the binding site with the BIG3 polypeptide in the PHB2 polypeptide is suitable as a peptide of the present invention. Therefore, preferred examples of the peptides of the present invention include PHB2 polypeptides containing glycine at position 15 and glycine at position 18 and their surrounding sequences in the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 28 (full-length PHB2 polypeptide) (SEQ ID NOs: 1 and 36-41 (PHB2 sequence-derived peptide Nos. 1 and 36-41)) and PHB2 polypeptides containing aspartic acid at position 82 and its surrounding sequences in the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 28 (full-length PHB2 polypeptide) (SEQ ID NOs: 5 and 47-53 (PHB2 sequence-derived peptide Nos. 5 and 47-53)). Another preferred example of the peptide of the present invention is a PHB2 polypeptide (SEQ ID NOS: 82 to 83 (PHB2 sequence-derived peptide Nos. 82 to 83) comprising amino acids 44 to 57 in the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NOS: 28 (full-length PHB2 polypeptide) and their surrounding sequences.
[0031] For example, the PHB2 peptides of the present invention include peptides comprising the amino acid sequences of SEQ ID NOS: 1, 5, 36-41, 47-53, and 82-83 (PHB2 sequence-derived peptide Nos. 1, 5, 36-41, 47-53, and 82-83) and consisting of, for example, 30 or 20 residues, typically 19 residues, preferably 18 residues, and more preferably 17 or fewer amino acid residues. Examples of such peptides include peptides comprising the amino acid sequences (9 residues) of SEQ ID NOS: 1, 5, 36-41, 47-53, and 82-83 (PHB2 sequence-derived peptide Nos. 1, 5, 36-41, 47-53, and 82-83) and an amino acid sequence selected from the full-length amino acid sequence constituting the PHB2 polypeptide, and consisting of 30 or 20 residues, typically 19 residues, preferably 18 residues, and more preferably 17 or fewer amino acid residues.
[0032] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the amino acids added to the amino acid sequences of SEQ ID NOs: 1, 5, 36-41, 47-53, and 82-83 (PHB2 sequence-derived peptide Nos. 1, 5, 36-41, 47-53, and 82-83) can be one or more consecutive amino acid sequences selected from 0 (i.e., the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NOs: 1, 5, 36-41, 47-53, and 82-83 (PHB2 sequence-derived peptide Nos. 1, 5, 36-41, 47-53, and 82-83)) and the full-length amino acid sequence constituting the PHB2 polypeptide (SEQ ID NO: 28 (full-length PHB2 polypeptide)). The amino acid sequences of SEQ ID NOs: 1, 5, 36-41, 47-53, and 82-83 (PHB2 sequence-derived peptide Nos. 1, 5, 36-41, 47-53, and 82-83) are amino acid sequences containing an amino acid sequence consisting of glycine at position 15, glycine at position 18, aspartic acid at position 82, or amino acids at positions 44 to 57 in the full-length amino acid sequence constituting the PHB2 polypeptide (SEQ ID NO: 28 (full-length PHB2 polypeptide)). Therefore, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the amino acid residue or amino acid sequence to be added to SEQ ID NOs: 1, 5, 36-41, 47-53, and 82-83 (PHB2 sequence-derived peptide Nos. 1, 5, 36-41, 47-53, and 82-83) can be selected from amino acid sequences adjacent to the amino acid sequence consisting of glycine at position 15, glycine at position 18, aspartic acid at position 82, or amino acids at positions 44 to 57 in the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 28 (full-length PHB2 polypeptide).
[0033] The peptide of the present invention preferably has, in addition to the activity of inhibiting the binding between a PHB2 polypeptide and a BIG3 polypeptide, either or both of the following properties (i) and (ii): (i) promoting nuclear translocation of PHB2 polypeptide in estrogen receptor-positive cells expressing BIG3 polypeptide; and (ii) BIG3 In estrogen receptor-positive cells expressing the polypeptide, the binding of the PHB2 polypeptide to estrogen receptors present in the nucleus and / or cell membrane is promoted. By possessing either or both of the above properties (i) and (ii), the peptide of the present invention suppresses estrogen receptor activation in BIG3-expressing cells, resulting in the inhibition of cell proliferation of estrogen receptor-positive cells. Both of the properties (i) and (ii) of the PHB2 peptide can be evaluated according to methods known to those skilled in the art.
[0034] PHB2 polypeptide is known to be an estrogen receptor-selective coregulator, and by interacting with the estrogen receptor, it suppresses the transcriptional activation of the estrogen receptor (Kasashima K, J Biol Chem 281(47): 36401-10(2006)). On the other hand, BIG3 polypeptide binds to PHB2 polypeptide, preventing its nuclear translocation and inhibiting its interaction with the estrogen receptor in the nucleus. It also prevents the binding of PHB2 polypeptide to the estrogen receptor present on the cell membrane. As a result of these actions, in cells overexpressing BIG3 polypeptide, the PHB2 polypeptide's suppression of estrogen receptor activation is insufficient, leading to increased cell proliferation.
[0035] The peptides of the present invention are characterized by competitively inhibiting the binding between a BIG3 polypeptide and a PHB2 polypeptide, thereby restoring the estrogen receptor activation inhibitory function of a PHB2 polypeptide inhibited by its binding to a BIG3 polypeptide. Meanwhile, a PHB2 polypeptide inhibits estrogen receptor activation through its binding to an estrogen receptor. Therefore, it is desirable that the peptides of the present invention inhibit the binding between a BIG3 polypeptide and a PHB2 polypeptide but do not interfere with the binding between an estrogen receptor and a PHB2 polypeptide, thereby preventing the inhibition of estrogen receptor activation by a PHB2 polypeptide. As described above, a fragment of a PHB2 polypeptide containing the binding site for a BIG3 polypeptide is suitable as a peptide of the present invention. However, a peptide close to the full-length PHB2 polypeptide may interfere with the binding of an endogenous PHB2 polypeptide to an estrogen receptor, thereby potentially preventing the inhibition of estrogen receptor activation by an endogenous PHB2 polypeptide. Therefore, the partial amino acid sequence of a PHB2 polypeptide contained in a peptide of the present invention preferably has 100 or fewer residues, more preferably 80 or fewer residues, and even more preferably 70 or fewer residues. In a more preferred embodiment, the partial amino acid sequence of the PHB2 polypeptide contained in the peptide of the present invention is 50 or fewer residues, 40 or fewer residues, 30 or fewer residues, 25 or fewer residues, or 20 or fewer residues. The estrogen receptor-binding site in PHB2 is the site consisting of amino acids 175 to 198 in the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 28 (full-length PHB2 polypeptide). Therefore, it is preferable that the peptide of the present invention does not contain this site. In such a case, the partial amino acid sequence of the PHB2 polypeptide contained in the peptide of the present invention is desirably 100 or fewer residues, excluding the amino acid sequence of amino acids 175 to 198, more preferably 80 or fewer residues, and even more preferably 70 or fewer residues. In a more preferred embodiment, the partial amino acid sequence of the PHB2 polypeptide contained in the peptide of the present invention is 50 or fewer residues, 40 or fewer residues, 30 or fewer residues, 25 or fewer residues, or 20 or fewer residues, excluding the amino acid sequence of amino acids 175 to 198.
[0036] Furthermore, the peptides of the present invention may contain an additional amino acid sequence other than the amino acid sequence derived from the PHB2 polypeptide, as long as the peptide maintains its activity of inhibiting the binding between the BIG3 polypeptide and the PHB2 polypeptide and does not interfere with the suppression of estrogen receptor activation by the PHB2 polypeptide. In this case, it is desirable that the additional amino acid sequence does not interfere with the binding of the endogenous PHB2 polypeptide to the estrogen receptor. Therefore, the peptides of the present invention are preferably peptides of 100 residues or less, 80 residues or less, or 70 residues or less. In more preferred embodiments, the peptides of the present invention are peptides of 50 residues or less, 40 residues or less, or 30 residues or less. Preferred examples of amino acid sequences contained in the peptides of the present invention include, but are not limited to, the amino acid sequences constituting the cell-penetrating peptides described below and linker sequences for binding other substances.
[0037] The peptides of the present invention may also be modified with other substances. As used herein, the term "modified" in reference to a peptide refers to the direct or indirect binding of other substances to the peptide. Examples of other substances that modify the peptides of the present invention include, but are not limited to, peptides, lipids, sugars, and natural or synthetic polymers. The peptides of the present invention may have any modification as long as they maintain the activity of inhibiting the binding between a BIG3 polypeptide and a PHB2 polypeptide. The peptides of the present invention may also be conferred additional functions by modification. Examples of additional functions include, but are not limited to, targeting, stability, and cell membrane permeability.
[0038] In the present invention, a preferred example of modification is the introduction of a cell membrane-permeable substance. Normally, intracellular structures are isolated from the outside world by a cell membrane. Therefore, it is difficult to efficiently introduce extracellular substances into cells. However, certain substances have cell membrane permeability and can be introduced into cells without being blocked by the cell membrane. By modifying with such a substance having cell membrane permeability (a cell membrane-permeable substance), it is possible to confer cell membrane permeability to a substance that does not have cell membrane permeability. Therefore, by modifying the peptide of the present invention with a cell membrane-permeable substance, the peptide of the present invention can be efficiently introduced into cells. Note that, as used herein, "cell membrane permeability" refers to the property of being able to permeate the mammalian cell membrane and enter the cytoplasm. Furthermore, a "cell membrane-permeable substance" refers to a substance that has "cell membrane permeability."
[0039] Examples of cell membrane-permeable substances include, but are not limited to, membrane-fusogenic liposomes and cell membrane-permeable peptides. For example, membrane-fusogenic liposomes fuse with the cell membrane and release their contents into the cell. For example, membrane-fusogenic liposomes are formed by modifying the liposome surface with a membrane-fusogenic substance. preparation Examples of fusogenic liposomes include pH-sensitive liposomes (Yuba E, et al., J. Control. Release, 149, 72-80 (2011)), Sendai virus fusogenic liposomes (WO97 / 016171), and liposomes modified with cell membrane-penetrating peptides. The peptides of the present invention may be encapsulated in fusogenic liposomes for efficient introduction into cells. In the present invention, encapsulation of a peptide in a fusogenic liposome is also included in the "modification" of the peptide.
[0040] Various natural and artificially synthesized cell membrane-permeable peptides have been reported (Joliot A. & Prochiantz A., Nat Cell Biol. 2004; 6: 189-96). Examples of cell membrane-permeable peptides include, but are not limited to, the following peptides:
[0041] Polyarginine (Matsushita et al., J. Neurosci.; 21(16), 6000-7(2003)); Tat / RKKRRQRRR (SEQ ID NO: 90) (Frankel et al., Cell 55(6), 1189-93 (1988)., Green & Loewenstein Cell 55, 1179-88 (1988)); Penetratin / RQIKIWFQNRRMKWKK (SEQ ID NO: 103) (Derossi et al., J.

Biophys. Res. Commun. 299(1), 85-90(2002)); pVEC / LLIILRRRIRKQAHAHSK (SEQ ID NO: 98) (Elmquist et al., Exp. Cell Res. 269(2), 237-44(2001)); Pep-1 / KETWWETWWTEWSQPKKKRKV (SEQ ID NO: 99) (Morris et al., Nature Biotechnol. 19(2), 1173-6(2001)); SynB1 / RGGRLSYSRRRFSTSTGR (SEQ ID NO: 100) (Rousselle et al., Mol. Pharmacol. 57(4), 679-86(2000)); Pep-7 / SDLWEMMMVSLACQY (SEQ ID NO: 101) (Gao et al., Bioorg. Med.

[0042] The polyarginines listed above may be composed of any number of arginine residues. For example, they may be composed of 5 to 20 arginine residues. The number of arginine residues constituting the polyarginine is not particularly limited, as long as it does not interfere with the activity of the present peptide in inhibiting the binding between the BIG3 polypeptide and the PHB2 polypeptide.
[0043] Furthermore, it is known in the art to introduce various particularly useful amino acid mimetics or unnatural amino acids (e.g., by substitution, addition, or insertion) to enhance the in vivo stability of peptides. Examples of introduced amino acid mimetics or unnatural amino acids include, but are not limited to, β-amino acids, D-amino acids, and N-methylamino acids. Thus, the peptides of the present invention can incorporate such amino acid mimetics or unnatural amino acids to enhance their in vivo stability. Techniques for substituting azapeptides, in which the α-carbon of an amino acid is replaced with an amino group, and for substituting amide bonds in peptides with their equivalents (e.g., esters, sulfonamides, alkene isosteres, etc.) are also known in the art. Peptide stability can be confirmed, for example, using peptidases and various biological media, such as human plasma and serum (see, for example, Coos Verhoef et al. Eur. J. Drug Metab. Pharmacokin. 11(4): 291-302 (1986)).
[0044] Thus, the present invention provides peptides that contain the binding site in a PHB2 polypeptide with a BIG3 polypeptide and inhibit the binding between the PHB2 polypeptide and the BIG3 polypeptide, and that contain at least one amino acid mimetic or unnatural amino acid (e.g., β-amino acid, D-amino acid, or N-methyl amino acid). In a specific embodiment, the peptides of the present invention include an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 1, 5, 36-41, 47-53, and 82-83 (PHB2 sequence-derived peptide Nos. 1, 5, 36-41, 47-53, and 82-83) in which one, two, or several amino acids have been substituted with the corresponding amino acid mimetic or unnatural amino acid (e.g., β-amino acid, D-amino acid, or N-methyl amino acid). The present invention also provides peptides that include the binding site in a PHB2 polypeptide with a BIG3 polypeptide and inhibit the binding between the PHB2 polypeptide and a BIG3 polypeptide, in which at least one amide bond has been replaced with an equivalent thereof (e.g., an ester, a sulfonamide, or an alkene isostere).
[0045] Cyclic and bridged peptides In certain embodiments, the peptides of the present invention may be cyclized, and cyclization can improve the stability of the peptides of the present invention. Methods for introducing a ring structure into the peptides of the present invention are well known. For example, a peptide can be cyclized by adding cysteines to the N- and C-termini of a linear peptide and forming a disulfide bond between these cysteines. Herein, a structure in which the side chains of two (a pair of) amino acid residues in the amino acid sequence constituting the peptide are crosslinked (stapled) can be referred to as a "stapled structure." A crosslinked peptide into which one or more stapled structures have been introduced is also referred to as a "stapled peptide." The positions of amino acid residues forming such intramolecular bridges are not limited to the N- and C-termini of the original linear peptide. The intramolecular bridges may be formed by amino acid residues present in the original linear peptide, or by amino acid residues introduced (e.g., by substitution, addition, or insertion) into the original linear peptide. The amino acid residues forming the intramolecular bridges are not limited to natural amino acids, but may also be amino acid mimetics or unnatural amino acids as described above. Furthermore, methods for cross-linking peptides are not limited to disulfide bond formation, but also include cross-linking between cysteine residues via fluorobenzene (e.g., using hexafluorobenzene or decafluorobiphenyl), thioether bond formation, ester bond formation, and hydrocarbon stapling techniques such as ring-closing olefin metathesis (e.g., as described in WO2017 / 126461).
[0046] Furthermore, methods for cyclizing peptides are not limited to the above-described methods of forming intramolecular crosslinks, and include the formation of an amide bond between the C-terminal amino acid residue and the N-terminal amino acid residue of the peptide. Peptides cyclized by these various methods are referred to herein as cyclic peptides, and include both cyclic peptides containing intramolecular crosslinks (i.e., crosslinked) (e.g., SEQ ID NOS: 25, 26, 123-124, and 126-127 in Figures 4 and 11) and cyclic peptides without intramolecular crosslinks (e.g., SEQ ID NOS: 125 and 128 in Figure 11). Thus, the present invention provides a cyclic peptide comprising a binding site in a PHB2 polypeptide to a BIG3 polypeptide and inhibiting the binding between the PHB2 polypeptide and the BIG3 polypeptide, the cyclic peptide being cyclized by at least one intramolecular bond. Examples of the intramolecular bond include, but are not limited to, a disulfide bond, a crosslink between cysteine residues via a fluorobenzene (e.g., using hexafluorobenzene or decafluorobiphenyl), a thioether bond, an ester bond, a thioester bond, a bond via a hydrocarbon chain (e.g., olefin, aryl, etc.), a bond via a heterocycle (e.g., triazole, oxazole, thiazole, etc.), an amide bond, and combinations thereof.
[0047] Such an intramolecular bond may be formed by amino acid residues at both ends of the linear peptide from which the cyclic peptide is derived, or by amino acid residues within the linear peptide. Furthermore, the intramolecular bond may be formed by amino acid residues in an amino acid sequence derived from a PHB2 polypeptide, or by amino acid residues introduced into the amino acid sequence (e.g., by substitution, addition, or insertion). Preferred examples of such cyclic peptides of the present invention include 11-21 aa and 76-88 aa cyclic PHB2 peptides (cyclic peptides consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 25, 106-108, 115-117, or 123-124; and SEQ ID NOs: 26, 110-112, 119-121, or 126-127, respectively). These exemplary cyclic peptides have been modified by adding two cysteine residues that form an intramolecular bond (intramolecular bridge) to linear peptides of 11-21 aa and 76-88 aa derived from the PHB2 sequence (SEQ ID NOS: 25-26, 106-108, 110-112, 115-117, 119-121, 123-124, 126-127); adding or substituting unnatural amino acids (SEQ ID NOS: 25-26, 106-108, 115-117, 123-124, 126-127); and The peptides were cyclized by the addition of multiple consecutive arginine residues (SEQ ID NOS: 25-26, 106-108, 110-112, 123-124, and 126-127), which form intramolecular bridges between the two cysteine residues (SEQ ID NOS: 25-26, 106-108, 110-112, 115-117, 119-121, 123-124, and 126-127), and by the formation of an amide bond between the C-terminal and N-terminal amino acid residues (SEQ ID NOS: 25-26, 123-124, and 126-127) (Figures 4C, 10A, and 11A). These exemplary cyclic peptides (especially the cyclic and cross-linked peptides) exhibited enhanced growth inhibitory effects compared to the original linear peptides (Figures 5A, 10C, and 11B), and the inhibitory effects were also shown to be long-lasting (Figure 6A).
[0048] The present invention also relates to a method for producing a cyclic peptide, comprising the steps of: (a) providing a linear peptide comprising a binding site in a PHB2 polypeptide for a BIG3 polypeptide, and inhibiting the binding of the PHB2 polypeptide to the BIG3 polypeptide; and (b) forming at least one intramolecular bond in said linear peptide, thereby cyclizing said linear peptide. The intramolecular bond is optionally selected from the group consisting of a disulfide bond, a crosslink between cysteine residues via a fluorobenzene (e.g., by using hexafluorobenzene or decafluorobiphenyl), a thioether bond, an ester bond, a thioester bond, a bond via a hydrocarbon chain (e.g., olefin, aryl, etc.), a bond via a heterocycle (e.g., triazole, oxazole, thiazole, etc.), an amide bond, and combinations thereof. The method optionally includes introducing (e.g., by substitution, addition, or insertion) at least one selected from the group consisting of a cysteine residue, an amino acid mimetic or an unnatural amino acid, and a series of arginine residues into the linear peptide.
[0049] The peptides of the present invention are characterized by their activity of inhibiting the binding between PHB2 polypeptide and BIG3 polypeptide. Whether or not a prepared peptide has the activity of inhibiting the binding between PHB2 polypeptide and BIG3 polypeptide can be confirmed by comparing the binding level between PHB2 polypeptide and BIG3 polypeptide in the presence and absence of the peptide. That is, if the binding level in the presence of the peptide is lower than the binding level in the absence of the peptide, the peptide can be determined to have "activity of inhibiting the binding between PHB2 polypeptide and BIG3 polypeptide."
[0050] The binding level between the PHB2 polypeptide and the BIG3 polypeptide can be measured using various known methods, such as immunoprecipitation using an anti-PHB2 antibody or an anti-BIG3 antibody, affinity chromatography, or a biosensor using surface plasmon resonance.
[0051] Specifically, for example, PHB2 polypeptide and BIG3 polypeptide are incubated in the presence and absence of a test peptide. The reaction solution is then immunoprecipitated with an anti-PHB2 antibody or an anti-BIG3 antibody, and the immunoprecipitate is subjected to Western blot analysis. The binding level between PHB2 polypeptide and BIG3 polypeptide can be confirmed by detecting at least one of the levels of BIG3 polypeptide immunoprecipitated with the anti-PHB2 antibody and the level of PHB2 polypeptide immunoprecipitated with the anti-BIG3 antibody. The PHB2 polypeptide and BIG3 polypeptide used here can be prepared by known genetic engineering techniques. preparation Alternatively, cell lysates of cells producing these polypeptides can be used. As cells producing these polypeptides, cell lines such as those described in the Examples of the present specification can be used.
[0052] Alternatively, the method described in the Examples section of the present specification can be used. Specifically, estrogen receptor-positive cells are cultured in the presence and absence of a test peptide. The cells are then lysed in an appropriate lysis buffer, and the cell lysate may be used to carry out immunoprecipitation and Western blot analysis in the same manner as described above. A peptide confirmed to have "activity to inhibit the binding between PHB2 polypeptide and BIG3 polypeptide" by any of the above-mentioned methods is determined to have "activity to inhibit the binding between PHB2 polypeptide and BIG3 polypeptide."
[0053] Furthermore, the peptide of the present invention may have either or both of the following properties (i) and (ii) as preferred properties: (i) promoting nuclear translocation of PHB2 polypeptide in estrogen receptor-positive cells expressing BIG3 polypeptide; and (ii) In estrogen receptor-positive cells expressing the BIG3 polypeptide, it promotes the binding of the PHB2 polypeptide to estrogen receptors present in the nucleus and / or cell membrane.
[0054] Whether the peptide of the present invention has the above-mentioned properties can be confirmed by comparing (i) the nuclear translocation level of the PHB2 polypeptide and / or (ii) the binding level of the estrogen receptor to the PHB2 polypeptide in the presence and absence of the peptide of the present invention. That is, if the level in the presence of the peptide of the present invention is higher than the level in the absence of the peptide of the present invention, the peptide of the present invention can be determined to have the above-mentioned properties (i) and / or (ii).
[0055] Specific methods for determining the presence or absence of properties (i) and / or (ii) above can be methods well known to those skilled in the art. Specifically, when examining property (i) above, estrogen receptor-positive cells are stimulated with estradiol for 24 hours with or without the addition of the peptide of the present invention. The cells are then fractionated by density centrifugation, and the PHB2 polypeptide present in the nuclear fraction is detected by Western blot analysis or the like. If the level of PHB2 polypeptide detected in the nuclear fraction is increased when the peptide of the present invention is added compared to when it is not added, the peptide of the present invention is determined to have property (i) above. The level of PHB2 polypeptide present in the nucleus can also be detected by immunocytochemical staining.
[0056] To examine the above property (ii), estrogen receptor-positive cells are stimulated with estradiol for 24 hours with or without the addition of the peptide of the present invention. The cells are then fractionated by density centrifugation, and the cytoplasmic and nuclear fractions are immunoprecipitated with an anti-estrogen receptor antibody or an anti-PHB2 antibody. The immunoprecipitates are then subjected to Western blot analysis. If the results show an increased level of binding between the estrogen receptor and the PHB2 polypeptide in the cytoplasmic and / or nuclear fractions when the peptide of the present invention is added compared to when it is not added, the peptide of the present invention is determined to have the above property (ii).
[0057] The peptides of the present invention can be produced using methods well known to those skilled in the art. For example, the peptides of the present invention can be obtained by chemical synthesis based on the amino acid sequence. Methods for chemically synthesizing peptides are known, and those skilled in the art can chemically synthesize the peptides of the present invention based on the amino acid sequence selected for the peptide of the present invention. Methods for chemically synthesizing peptides are described in, for example, the following documents: (i)Peptide Synthesis, Interscience, New York, 1966; (ii)The Proteins, Vol. 2, Academic Press, New York, 1976; (iii) Peptide Synthesis, Maruzen, 1975; (iv) Fundamentals and Experiments of Peptide Synthesis, Maruzen, 1985; (v) Pharmaceutical Development, Vol. 14 (Peptide Synthesis), Hirokawa Shoten, 1991; (vi) WO99 / 67288; and (vii) Barany G. & Merrifield RB, Peptides Vol. 2, "Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis", Academic Press, New York, 1980, 100-118.
[0058] Alternatively, the peptides of the present invention can be obtained by genetic engineering techniques (e.g., Morrison J, J Bacteriology, 132(1): 349-51 (1977); Clark-Curtiss & Curtiss, Methods in Enzymology (eds. Wu et al.), 101: 347-62 (1983)). For example, a polynucleotide encoding the peptide of the present invention is inserted into an appropriate expression vector, which is then introduced into an appropriate host cell to prepare a transformed cell. The host cell is then cultured to produce the peptide of the present invention, and the cell extract is then used for the preparation of a transformant. preparation The peptides of the present invention can be purified from the cell extract using standard protein purification techniques. For example, the peptides can be purified by appropriately selecting and combining column chromatography, filter filtration, ultrafiltration, salting out, solvent precipitation, solvent extraction, distillation, immunoprecipitation, SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, isoelectric focusing, dialysis, and recrystallization. The peptides of the present invention can also be synthesized using an in vitro translation system in which the elements necessary for protein synthesis are reconstituted in vitro.
[0059] When genetic engineering techniques are used, the peptide of the present invention can also be expressed as a fusion protein with another peptide. A polynucleotide encoding the peptide of the present invention and a polynucleotide encoding the other peptide are ligated in-frame, inserted into an appropriate expression vector, and then introduced into an appropriate host cell to produce a transformed cell. preparation The host cells are then cultured to produce a fusion protein of the peptide of the present invention and another peptide, and the cell extract is then subjected to preparationThe fusion protein can be purified from the cell extract by capturing the fusion protein by affinity chromatography using a column bound to a substance having affinity for the fusion protein. Furthermore, if the peptide of the present invention is linked to another peptide via a linker sequence that can be cleaved by enzymes such as peptidases, proteases, and proteasomes, the fusion protein captured on the column can be treated with these enzymes to separate the peptide from the column. Other peptides that can be used to form fusion proteins include, but are not limited to, the following: FLAG(Hopp et al., Bio / Technology 6, 1204-10(1988)); 6xHis or 10xHis consisting of histidine (His) residues; influenza hemagglutinin (HA); human c-myc fragment, VSV-GP fragment; p18 HIV fragment; T7 tag; HSV tag; E tag; SV40 T antigen fragment; lcktag; α-tubulin fragment; B-tag; Protein C fragment; GST (glutathione-S-transferase); HA (influenza hemagglutinin); immunoglobulin constant region; β-galactosidase; and; MBP (maltose-binding protein).
[0060] 2. Polynucleotides encoding the peptides of the present invention, vectors, and host cells The present invention also provides polynucleotides encoding the peptides of the present invention. The present invention also provides vectors containing the polynucleotides and host cells containing the vectors. The polynucleotides, vectors, and host cells can be used to produce the peptides of the present invention.
[0061] The polynucleotides of the present invention can be prepared by methods known to those skilled in the art. For example, the polynucleotides of the present invention can be synthesized using solid-phase techniques such as those described in Beaucage SL & Iyer RP, Tetrahedron, 48: 2223-311 (1992); Matthes et al., EMBO J, 3(4): 801-5 (1984). Alternatively, the polynucleotides of the present invention can be synthesized using genetic engineering techniques. preparation For example, primers are prepared based on the partial nucleotide sequence of the PHB2 gene (SEQ ID NO: 27) encoding the amino acid sequence selected as the peptide of the present invention, and reverse transcription PCR is performed using mRNA extracted from cells expressing the PHB2 polypeptide as a template. This allows the polynucleotide of the present invention to be amplified.
[0062] The polynucleotide of the present invention can be inserted into an appropriate expression vector and introduced into an appropriate host cell to produce the peptide of the present invention in the host cell.
[0063] For example, when E. coli is selected as the host cell and a vector is to be amplified in large quantities within E. coli (e.g., JM109, DH5α, HB101, or XL1Blue), the vector must have an "ori" for amplification within E. coli and a marker gene for selecting transformed E. coli (e.g., a drug resistance gene selectable with drugs such as ampicillin, tetracycline, kanamycin, or chloramphenicol). For example, M13 series vectors, pUC series vectors, pBR322, pBluescript, and pCR-Script can be used. When using vectors to produce the peptides of the present invention, expression vectors are particularly useful. For example, expression vectors intended for expression in E. coli must have the above-mentioned characteristics for amplification within E. coli. When E. coli such as JM109, DH5α, HB101, or XL1Blue is used as a host cell, the vector must have a promoter capable of efficiently expressing the desired gene in E. coli, such as the lacZ promoter (Ward et al., Nature 341(6242): 544-6 (1989); FASEB J 6(7): 2422-7 (1992)), the araB promoter (Better et al., Science 240(4855): 1041-3 (1988)), or the T7 promoter. Furthermore, the vector may also contain a signal sequence for polypeptide secretion. An example of a signal sequence that directs polypeptide secretion into the periplasm of E. coli is the pelB signal sequence (Lei et al., J Bacteriol 169(9): 4379-83 (1987)). Means for introducing vectors into target host cells include, for example, the calcium chloride method and electroporation.
[0064] In addition to E. coli, for example, expression vectors derived from mammalian cells (e.g., pcDNA3 (Invitrogen) and pEGF-BOS (Mizushima S., Nucleic Acids Res 18(17): 5322 (1990)), pEF, pCDM8), expression vectors derived from insect cells (e.g., "Bac-to-BAC Baculovirus Expression System" (GIBCO BRL), pBacPAK8), expression vectors derived from plants (e.g., pMH1, pMH2), expression vectors derived from animal viruses (e.g., pHSV, pMV, pAdexLcw), expression vectors derived from retroviruses (e.g., pZIpneo), expression vectors derived from yeast (e.g., "Pichia Expression Kit" (Invitrogen), pNV11, SP-Q01), and expression vectors derived from Bacillus subtilis (e.g., pPL608, pKTH50) can also be used.
[0065] To express a vector in animal cells such as CHO cells, COS cells, or NIH3T3 cells, the vector must contain a promoter necessary for expression in these cells, such as the SV40 promoter (Mulligan et al., Nature 277(5692): 108-14 (1979)), the MMLV-LTR promoter, the EF1α promoter (Mizushima et al., Nucleic Acids Res 18(17): 5322 (1990)), or the CMV promoter. It is also preferable for the vector to contain a marker gene for selecting transformants (e.g., a drug resistance gene selectable with a drug, such as neomycin or G418). Examples of known vectors having these characteristics include pMAM, pDR2, pBK-RSV, pBK-CMV, pOPRSV, and pOP13.
[0066] Alternatively, the polynucleotide of the present invention may be inserted into an appropriate vector and introduced into the target cell to produce the peptide of the present invention in the target cell. The peptide of the present invention produced in the target cell inhibits the binding of the PHB2 polypeptide to the BIG3 polypeptide, thereby inducing suppression of cell proliferation of the target cell. In this case, the vector into which the polynucleotide of the present invention is inserted may be a vector for stably inserting the polynucleotide of the present invention into the genome of the target cell (see, for example, Thomas KR & Capecchi MR, Cell, 51(3): 503-12 (1987) for a description of homologous recombination cassette vectors). See, for example, Wolff et al., Science, 247: 1465-8 (1990); U.S. Patent No. 5,580,895; U.S. Patent No. 5,589,466; U.S. Patent No. 5,804,566; U.S. Patent No. 5,739,118; U.S. Patent No. 5,736,524; U.S. Patent No. 5,679,647; and International Publication No. WO 98 / 04720.
[0067] The polynucleotides of the present invention can also be inserted into expression vectors, such as viral or bacterial vectors. Examples of expression vectors include attenuated viral hosts such as cowpox or fowlpox (see, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,722,858). Another example of a vector that can be used is Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) (Stover et al., Nature, 351(6326): 456-60(1991)). Other examples include adenovirus and adeno-associated virus vectors, retrovirus vectors, Salmonella typhi vectors, and detoxified anthrax toxin vectors (Shata et al., Mol Med Today, 6(2): 66-71(2000); Shedlock et al., J Leukoc Biol, 68(6): 793-806(2000); and Hipp et al., In Vivo, 14(5): 571-85(2000)).
[0068] The peptides of the present invention also include those in which either or both of the N-terminal and C-terminal amino acid residues have been modified. The type of modification is not particularly limited, but it is preferable that it does not affect the affinity for BIG3. Preferred examples of modifications include acetylation of the N-terminal amino acid residue, amidation of the C-terminal amino acid residue, and addition of tag peptides such as HA tag and FLAG tag.
[0069] The peptides of the present invention are not limited to those composed of L-amino acids, but may also contain one or more D-amino acids. The ratio of L-amino acids to D-amino acids in the peptide is not particularly limited, and may be any of the following: all amino acid residues are L-type (hereinafter referred to as "L-peptide"), all amino acid residues are D-type (hereinafter referred to as "D-peptide"), or only amino acid residues at specific positions are D-type. One preferred embodiment of the peptides of the present invention includes any of the above-mentioned peptides of the present invention in which all amino acid residues are replaced with D-type amino acid residues. Another preferred embodiment of the peptides of the present invention includes peptides in which amino acid residues at specific positions important for binding to BIG3 are replaced with the corresponding D-type amino acid residues. Examples of such positions include the positions corresponding to glycine 15, glycine 18, and aspartic acid 82 in the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 28.
[0070] Furthermore, the peptides of the present invention may be retroinverse peptides of any of the above-mentioned peptides of the present invention. In retroinverse peptides, the amino acid sequence is reversed from that of the original peptide, and all amino acid residues are replaced with D-amino acid residues. In other words, retroinverse peptides are D-peptides having an amino acid sequence reversed from that of the original peptide. Therefore, peptides that are retroinverse peptides of any of the above-mentioned peptides of the present invention are also preferred embodiments of the peptides of the present invention.
[0071] The peptides of the present invention may also be in the form of a salt. The salt form is not particularly limited, but a pharmaceutically acceptable salt is preferred. As used herein, the term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" refers to a salt that retains the pharmacological or pharmaceutical effectiveness and properties of the peptide. Preferred examples of salts include salts with alkali metals (lithium, potassium, sodium, etc.), salts with alkaline earth metals (calcium, magnesium, etc.), salts with other metals (copper, iron, zinc, manganese, etc.), salts with organic bases, salts with amines, salts with organic acids (acetic acid, formic acid, propionic acid, fumaric acid, maleic acid, succinic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, malic acid, oxalic acid, benzoic acid, methanesulfonic acid, etc.), and salts with inorganic acids (hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, etc.). These salts can be prepared according to known methods.
[0072] 3. Pharmaceutical compositions containing the peptides or polynucleotides of the present invention and uses thereof The present invention also provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising the peptide of the present invention or a salt thereof, or a polynucleotide encoding the peptide of the present invention, together with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The peptide of the present invention inhibits the binding between the PHB2 polypeptide and the BIG3 polypeptide, thereby inducing the suppression of estrogen receptor activation by the PHB2 polypeptide, thereby leading to the suppression of cell proliferation in estrogen receptor-positive cells. Therefore, the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention is useful for either or both of the treatment and prevention of cell proliferative disorders caused by estrogen receptor activation. Such cell proliferative disorders include, for example, cancer.
[0073] Among cancers, breast cancer, in particular, is known to be closely related to estrogen receptor activation. BIG3 polypeptide is a novel estrogen receptor activation regulator that has been confirmed to be frequently expressed in many breast cancer specimens and breast cancer cells, while its expression is rarely observed in normal tissues (Kim JW, Akiyama M, Park JH, et al. Cancer Sci.; 100(8):1468-78(2009)). Therefore, in breast cancer, expression of BIG3 polypeptide inhibits the function of PHB2 polypeptide in suppressing estrogen receptor activation, which is thought to result in promotion of breast cancer cell proliferation. Therefore, the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention is particularly suitable for either or both of the treatment and prevention of breast cancer. Furthermore, it is particularly useful for breast cancers that are estrogen receptor-positive and express BIG3 polypeptide. However, the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention is not limited to use in breast cancer; it can be used for any cancer that is estrogen receptor-positive and expresses BIG3 polypeptide. Examples of estrogen receptor-positive cancers other than breast cancer include, but are not limited to, uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, and prostate cancer (Nelles JL, et al., Expert Rev Endocrinol Metab.; 6(3):437-51(2011)), and lung cancer (particularly non-small cell lung cancer) (Stabile LP, et al., Cancer Res.; 65(4):1459-70(2005); Marquez-Garban DC, et al., Steroids.; 72(2):135-43(2007)). It is preferable that the cancer to which the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention is applied expresses BIG3 and PHB2, but estrogen receptor-positive cancers generally express BIG3 and PHB2. Whether a cancer is estrogen receptor-positive can be confirmed by known methods such as ELISA or immunohistochemical staining.
[0074] Furthermore, the peptides of the present invention also exhibited excellent cell growth inhibitory effects in triple-negative breast cancer cells, which are estrogen receptor-negative breast cancer cells (Figure 9). Triple-negative generally refers to breast cancer cells lacking expression of HER2, estrogen receptors, and progesterone receptors, which are major targets of drug therapy. Therefore, triple-negative breast cancers are usually resistant to drug therapy. Therefore, the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention can be used for either or both of the treatment and prevention of estrogen receptor-negative breast cancer and are also useful as pharmaceutical compositions for administration to patients with such treatment-resistant breast cancer. That is, the present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising the peptide of the present invention, the pharmaceutical composition being for administration to a patient with drug therapy-resistant breast cancer. The present invention also relates to the peptide of the present invention for use in either or both of treating and preventing a patient with drug therapy-resistant breast cancer. Furthermore, the present invention relates to the use of the peptide of the present invention in the manufacture of a pharmaceutical composition for either or both of treating and preventing a patient with drug therapy-resistant breast cancer. Alternatively, the present invention also provides a method for either or both of treating and preventing breast cancer, comprising the steps of selecting a patient with drug therapy-resistant breast cancer and administering a peptide of the present invention to the selected patient. Chemotherapy-resistant breast cancer patients can be identified by monitoring the treatment outcomes after standard drug therapy. Specifically, therapy resistance can be determined when no clear regression of lesions is observed after treatment. The state in which lesion growth is prevented is also considered to be tumor regression. Patients with triple-negative breast cancer, as mentioned above, are also considered to be resistant to chemotherapy. Triple-negative breast cancer is characterized by the lack of expression of estrogen receptors and progesterone receptors in addition to HER2. These chemotherapy-resistant markers can be quantitatively evaluated by immunohistochemistry or gene expression analysis. For example, a marker is considered negative if its expression level is similar to that of a negative control. A therapy-resistant cancer cell line lacking expression of these markers can be used as a negative control.
[0075] The pharmaceutical composition of the present invention can be produced by blending the peptide of the present invention or its salt with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier using known formulation techniques. As used herein, the term "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier" refers to an inactive substance used as a diluent or solvent for a drug. The pharmaceutically acceptable carrier used in the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention may be appropriately selected from carriers used in general pharmaceuticals depending on the dosage form of the pharmaceutical composition to be prepared.
[0076] The dosage form of the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention is not particularly limited, and can be appropriately selected from dosage forms commonly used for pharmaceuticals such as liquids, tablets, elixirs, capsules, granules, powders, etc. Furthermore, additives such as excipients, stabilizers, suspensions, preservatives, surfactants, solubilizers, pH adjusters, and aggregation inhibitors can be added as appropriate depending on the selected dosage form.
[0077] The pharmaceutical composition of the present invention contains, as an active ingredient, a pharmaceutically effective amount of the peptide of the present invention or a salt thereof, or a polynucleotide encoding the peptide. A "pharmaceutically effective amount" refers to an amount sufficient for the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention to achieve its intended purpose. For example, when the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention is a pharmaceutical composition for either or both of the treatment and prevention of cancer, an example of a pharmaceutically effective amount would be an amount that, when administered to a patient, induces a reduction in the rate of cancer growth, a reduction in metastatic potential, an extension of survival time, a reduction or delay in the onset of cancer, or an alleviation of various clinical symptoms associated with cancer. The reduction in the rate of cancer growth can be, for example, about 5% or more compared to the rate when the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention is not administered. Preferably, the reduction in the rate of cancer growth can be about 10% or more, 20% or more, 30% or more, 40% or more, 50% or more, 75% or more, 80% or more, 90% or more, or 100% or more.
[0078] The pharmaceutically effective amount can be appropriately selected depending on the dosage form of the pharmaceutical composition, the administration interval, the age, sex, weight, body surface area, type of disease of the subject, etc. Examples of the content of the peptide of the present invention or a salt thereof in the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention include, but are not limited to, 0.001 mg to 1000 mg, 0.01 mg to 100 mg, 0.1 mg to 30 mg, and 0.1 mg to 10 mg.
[0079] The pharmaceutical composition of the present invention may also optionally contain other drugs. Examples of other drugs include anti-inflammatory agents, analgesics, antipyretics, other cancer therapeutic agents, etc. The other cancer therapeutic agents that can be used in the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention are not particularly limited. However, when used for estrogen-positive cancers, examples include hormone therapy agents such as selective ERα modulators (e.g., tamoxifen and raloxifene), ERα downregulators (e.g., fulvestrant), aromatase inhibitors, LH-RH agonist preparations, and progesterone preparations. These drugs may also be formulated in the form of prodrugs or pharmaceutically acceptable salts.
[0080] The pharmaceutical composition of the present invention can be administered to a subject by selecting an appropriate administration route depending on the dosage form. The administration route is not particularly limited, but examples include oral administration, as well as intradermal, subcutaneous, intramuscular, intraosseous, peritoneal, and intravenous injection. Systemic administration and local administration near the diseased site are both acceptable, with local administration being preferred. More specifically, the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention can be administered to cancer tissue or its vicinity by injection or other means. Alternatively, the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention can be administered surgically to cancer tissue or its vicinity.

[0091] [Example 1] Effect on estrogen-dependent breast cancer 1. Materials and Methods Cell lines and culture conditions The human breast cancer cell line MCF-7 was purchased from the JCRB Cell Bank (Osaka, Japan) and maintained in MEM (Thermo Fisher Scientific) supplemented with 10% FBS (Nichirei Biosciences, Tokyo, Japan), 1% Antibiotic / Antimycotic solution (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA), 0.1 mM NEAA (Thermo Fisher Scientific), 1 mM sodium pyruvate (Thermo Fisher Scientific), and 10 μg / mL insulin (Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA) at 37°C with 5% CO . The normal mammary epithelial cell line MCF-10A was purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA) and maintained in MEBM (Lonza) supplemented with the SingleQuots kit (BPE, hydrocortisone, hEGF, insulin, gentamicin / amphotericin B) (Lonza, Walkersville, MD, USA) and 100 ng / mL cholera toxin at 37°C in 5% CO .
[0092] Cell proliferation assay MCF-7 proliferation assays were performed in 48-well plates (2 × 10 4 MCF-10A cells were seeded in 200 μL of 48-well plates (2 × 10 cells / 200 μL). The next day, the medium was changed to phenol red-free DMEM / F12 (Thermo Fisher Scientific) supplemented with 10% FBS, 1% Antibiotic / Antimycotic solution, 0.1 mM NEAA, 1 mM sodium pyruvate, and 10 μg / mL insulin. After 24 hours, the cells were treated with 10 nM 17β-estradiol (estrogen, Sigma) alone or with 10 nM estrogen and a peptide derived from the PHB2 sequence. MCF-10A proliferation assays were performed in 48-well plates (2 × 10 cells / 200 μL). 4The cells were seeded in 200 μL of PBS and 24 hours later, a peptide derived from the PHB2 sequence was added. Proliferation assays were performed using Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8, Dojindo, Kumamoto, Japan). Data are shown as the mean ± standard deviation of three independent experiments.
[0093] Antibodies and immunoblot analysis For immunoblotting analysis, the membranes containing the blotted proteins after SDS-PAGE were blocked with 4% Block Ace solution (Dainippon Pharmaceutical, Osaka, Japan) for 3 hours, then incubated with antibodies against BIG3 (1:1,000), PHB2 (1:1,000, Abcam, Cambridge, UK), and phosphorylated PHB2 (Ser39, Scrum, Tokyo, Japan) for 12 hours. Subsequently, the blots were incubated with HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies (anti-rat IgG-HRP, 1:5,000 for BIG3; anti-rabbit IgG-HRP, 1:1,000 for PHB2 and phosphorylated PHB2, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA) for 1 hour. The blots were developed using an enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) system (GE Healthcare, Buckinghamshire, UK) and scanned using an Image Reader LAS-3000 mini (Fujifilm, Tokyo, Japan).
[0094] Immunoprecipitation Immunoprecipitation was performed using MCF-7 cells in a 10 cm dish (2 × 10 6MCF-7 cells were seeded at 1000kJ / 1000kcal (1000kJ / 1000kcal) and treated with 10 nM estrogen alone or 10 nM estrogen and a peptide derived from the PHB2 sequence, as in the cell proliferation assay. For immunoprecipitation analysis, cell lysates were lysed in cell lysis buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl; pH 8.0, 150 mM NaCl, 0.1% NP-40, and 0.5% CHAPS, 0.1% protease inhibitor cocktail III) and precleared with rat IgG antibody and rec-Protein G Sepharose 4B (Thermo Fisher Scientific) for 3 hours at 4°C. The supernatant was then reacted with 5 μg of antibody against BIG3 for 12 hours at 4°C. The antigen-antibody complexes were then precipitated with rec-Protein G Sepharose 4B for 1 hour at 4°C. The immunoprecipitated protein complexes were washed four times with cell lysis buffer and subjected to SDS-PAGE and immunoblot analysis.
[0095] Peptide synthesis All peptides were synthesized by Fmoc solid-phase synthesis. NovaSyn TGR resin (0.25 mmol amine / g) or Rink Amide AM resin (0.62 mmol amine / g) were used, and manual Fmoc solid-phase synthesis was used. The Fmoc group was removed by treatment with 20% (v / v) piperidine / DMF solution at room temperature for 10 minutes. The resin was washed 5 to 10 times with DMF, and then 3 equivalents of the Fmoc amino acid were added to the reaction mixture in DMF with N,N-diisopropyl ether. Carbodiimide (DIPCDI, 3.0 equivalents) and 1-hydroxybenzotriazole hydrate (HOBt HO, 3.3 equivalents) or N,N-diisopropylethylamine (DIPEA, 3.0 equivalents) and N,N,N,N-tetramethyl-O-( BenzotriazoleCoupling was performed at room temperature for 90 minutes using (-1-yl)uronium hexafluorophosphate (HBTU, 2.9 equivalents). After washing with DMF, methanol, and ethanol and drying, 100 mg of the protected peptide resin was treated with 5 mL of a cocktail of TFA: thioanisole: m-cresol: 1,2-ethanedithiol: water (80:5:5:5:5) at room temperature for 90 minutes. After concentrating the TFA under a nitrogen stream, the residue was precipitated with ether. The precipitate was washed with ether, dissolved in an appropriate aqueous solvent, and purified by HPLC.
[0096] 2.Results Screening of peptides derived from PHB2 sequence We investigated the inhibitory effects of 20 peptides derived from the PHB2 protein sequence (Figure 1A) on estrogen (E2)-dependent proliferation of MCF-7 cells (treated at 10 μM for 24 hours). While MCF-7 cells showed significant proliferation enhancement upon E2 stimulation, treatment with PHB2-derived peptides No. 1 (11-22 aa: SEQ ID NO: 1) and No. 5 (76-90 aa: SEQ ID NO: 5) significantly inhibited E2-dependent proliferation by approximately 50% (No. 1: 58% inhibition, No. 5: 49% inhibition). These peptides closely matched the predicted BIG3 binding regions (bold amino acids) predicted by in silico analysis. Furthermore, peptides No. 2 (42-50 aa: SEQ ID NO: 2) and No. 3 (38-50 aa: SEQ ID NO: 3) also inhibited E2-dependent proliferation by 22% and 23%, respectively. However, each PHB2 sequence-derived peptide had a lower E2-dependent proliferation inhibitory effect compared to ERAP, suggesting the possibility that there are multiple BIG3-binding regions on the PHB2 side. Next, we synthesized two peptides derived from the PHB2 sequence, primarily No. 1 (11-22aa) and No. 5 (76-90aa), (Fig. 1B, C). We examined the effects of each peptide on E2-dependent proliferation after 24 hours of treatment at 10 μM. The PHB2 (11-22aa) peptide exhibited the highest inhibitory effect (63%) near No. 1 (11-22aa), with the inhibitory effect gradually decreasing (Fig. 1B). The PHB2 (76-90aa) peptide also exhibited a high inhibitory effect (51%) near No. 5 (76-90aa), and No. 50 (75-89aa) had a similar inhibitory effect, but the inhibitory effect decreased around these peptides (Fig. 1C). What these data have in common is that they contain amino acids 11-21aa and 76-88aaa, which showed high scores in in silico analysis as predicted binding sites for BIG3, suggesting that PHB2 has two binding sites for BIG3. We therefore investigated the inhibitory effects of peptides No. 1 (11-22aa) and No. 5 (76-90aa), and the combination of peptides No. 5 (76-90aa) and No. 1 (11-22aa), on E2-dependent proliferation in MCF-7 cells. The results showed that the No. 1 (11-22aa) peptide alone inhibited E2-dependent proliferation by 65%, almost completely, whereas the combination of peptide No. 5 (76-90aa) and peptide No. 50 (75-89aa) with peptide No. 5 (76-90aa) and peptide No. 50 (75-89aa) showed almost complete inhibition, with 100% and 97%, respectively (Fig. 1D). Similarly, treatment with No. 5 (76-90aa) alone showed a 55% inhibition rate, while combination with PHB2 peptides centered on No. 1 (11-22aa) almost completely inhibited the binding. When combined with peptides consisting of the 5-26aa region (Nos. 36, 37, 38, 39, and 40), the inhibition rate reached over 90% (Fig. 1E). These results suggest that the PHB2 regions of No. 1 (11-22aa) and No. 5 (76-90aa) are important for binding to BIG3, and that the development of dominant-negative peptides taking these regions into consideration is necessary.
[0097] Inhibitory effect of a peptide derived from PHB2 sequence on E2-dependent proliferation Next, we investigated the inhibitory effect of two peptides (No. 1 and No. 5) derived from the PHB2 sequence on E2-dependent proliferation of MCF-7 cells. The combined use of No. 1 and No. 5 significantly enhanced the inhibitory effect, achieving 88% inhibition compared with either peptide alone (Fig. 2A). Furthermore, the combined use of No. 5 and No. 6 (86-100 aa, approximately 10% inhibition), which showed no inhibitory effect when administered alone, did not enhance the inhibitory effect. This suggests that the BIG3-binding domains may be present in the 11-22 aa and 76-90 aa regions of PHB2, respectively. Next, we examined the inhibition of BIG3-PHB2 binding by No. 1 and No. 5 at concentrations of 20 μM and 50 μM using immunoprecipitation with a BIG3 antibody. Both No. 1 and No. 5 inhibited BIG3-PHB2 binding in a concentration-dependent manner, with No. 1 inhibiting 64% at 50 μM and No. 5 inhibiting 80% at 50 μM (Figure 2B). Furthermore, the combined use of both peptides at 50 μM resulted in an 87% inhibition rate (Figure 2B). We then examined the effect of each peptide (No. 1, No. 5, No. 6) on the phosphorylation of Ser39 of PHB2. Compared to the phosphorylation of PHB2 Ser39 by ERAP treatment (the positive control), treatment with No. 1 and No. 5 alone resulted in only 40% and 20% phosphorylation band intensity, respectively (Fig. 2C). The combined use of both peptides also resulted in 70% phosphorylation intensity (Fig. 2C). On the other hand, No. 6 barely induced PHB2 phosphorylation, with a band intensity of 10% (Fig. 2C). The combined use of No. 5 and No. 6 also resulted in a band intensity of 20% (Fig. 2C), suggesting that the binding of PHB2 and BIG3 spans multiple regions of No. 1 and No. 5.
[0098] Inhibitory effect of a novel peptide (11-90aa) encompassing the BIG3-binding region of PHB2 peptides No. 1 and No. 5 on E2-dependent proliferation Because the PHB2 peptides (No. 1 and No. 5) could only inhibit E2-dependent proliferation and induce PHB2 Ser39 phosphorylation by 50%, we synthesized a new 11-90aa PHB2 peptide containing these two regions and examined its effect on E2-dependent proliferation of MCF-7 cells. The 11-90aa PHB2 peptide concentration-dependently inhibited MCF-7 cells, which had doubled in proliferation after 24 hours of E2 stimulation. However, even at 50 μM, the inhibition rate was only 57%, which was almost the same as that of peptides No. 1 and No. 5 (Fig. 3A). Therefore, we evaluated whether the 11-90aa peptide could inhibit the binding of BIG3 to PHB2 and induce PHB2 phosphorylation. As a result, the 11-90aa PHB2 peptide inhibited the binding of BIG3 to PHB2 more than the untreated control, but did not achieve sufficient binding inhibition (Figure 3B). Furthermore, phosphorylation of Ser39 of PHB2 was induced in a concentration-dependent manner by the 11-90aa PHB2 peptide, but was only 30% of the phosphorylation obtained by ERAP treatment, failing to induce sufficient phosphorylation (Figure 3C). This may be due to the large number of amino acids (80) that the peptide has, resulting in insufficient binding to the α-helical structure of BIG3.
[0099] Inhibitory effects of linear, branched, and cyclic PHB2 on E2-dependent proliferation Since the combined use of the PHB2 peptides 11-22aa and 76-90aa enhanced estrogen-dependent proliferation by 88% (Fig. 2A), we further investigated the inhibitory effects of the linear and branched PHB2 peptides (Fig. 4A, 4B, 4C ... Furthermore, the 11-21aa and 76-88aa cyclic PHB2 peptides exhibited enhanced inhibitory effects compared with the non-cyclic peptide (Fig. 5A). Furthermore, the combined use of the cyclic peptides achieved almost complete inhibitory effects (96% inhibition, Fig. 5A), but no apoptosis-like phenomenon, such as cell floating, was observed. Next, we examined the effects of the cyclic peptides on the proliferation of normal mammary epithelial cells MCF-10A, which do not express ERα or BIG3 (treated at 10 μM for 24 hours). Although slight inhibitory effects were observed with the linear and cyclic PHB2 peptides (Fig. 5B, linear: 10% inhibition, cyclic 11-21aa: 14% inhibition, cyclic 76-88aa: 15% inhibition), most PHB2 peptides had little effect on MCF-10A proliferation, suggesting that they specifically inhibit E2-dependent proliferation. Next, we examined whether these PHB2 peptides could inhibit the interaction between BIG3 and PHB2. While BIG3 and PHB2 bound strongly in untreated and E2-stimulated cells (Fig. 5C), treatment with each PHB2 peptide alone barely inhibited the BIG3-PHB2 interaction (Fig. 5C). However, combined administration of the linear and cyclic PHB2 peptides significantly inhibited the interaction (Fig. 5C; linear and cyclic PHB2 peptides combined: 67% inhibition, 81% inhibition), suggesting the existence of two PHB2-binding domains for BIG3. On the other hand, the linear and branched PHB2 peptides were unable to cover the two BIG3-binding domains on PHB2.
[0100] Long-term stability of the inhibitory effect of cyclic PHB2 peptide on E2-dependent proliferation Because the cyclic PHB2 peptide may be stable at low concentrations due to its enhanced membrane permeability and structural immobilization, we investigated the long-term stability of 10 μM cyclic PHB2 peptide alone for up to 96 hours. The linear PHB2 peptides 11-22aa and 76-90aa exhibited 40% and 61% inhibition after 24 hours of treatment, respectively, but significantly reduced to 31% and 24% after 96 hours (Figure 6A). The cyclic peptides, 11-21aa and 76-88aa, exhibited 67% inhibition (53% after 24 hours) and 72% inhibition (58% after 24 hours) after 96 hours, respectively (Figure 6A). The inhibitory effect was stably maintained for up to 96 hours. These data suggest that the cyclic PHB2 peptide, like the cross-linked PHB2 peptide, maintains a stable conformation, contributing to its long-term inhibitory effect. Next, because the inhibitory effect of the cyclic PHB2 peptides was sustained for up to 96 h, we examined the effects of 1 and 10 μM of each cyclic PHB2 peptide on the proliferation of MCF-10A cells, which do not express ERα or BIG3. The results showed that the cyclic PHB2 peptides, which have the PHB2 sequence 11-21aa and 76-88aa, had little effect at 1 μM (5-7% inhibition for both), but showed 10-15% inhibition at 10 μM (Fig. 6B). This suggests that they have a slight nonspecific inhibitory effect, but the inhibition of E2-dependent proliferation of MCF-7 cells by the cyclic PHB2 peptides is thought to be mainly due to the inhibition of BIG3-PHB2 binding.
[0101] Concentration-dependent inhibitory effect of cyclic PHB2 peptide on E2-dependent proliferation The 50% inhibitory concentration (IC) of the cyclic PHB2 peptide on E2-dependent MCF-7 proliferation was 50 ) and calculate the IC 50 The synergistic inhibitory effect of each cyclic PHB2 peptide on E2-dependent proliferation was examined. As a result, each cyclic PHB2 peptide inhibited E2-dependent proliferation in a concentration-dependent manner, with an IC of 4.06 μM for the cyclic 11-21aa peptide and 2.11 μM for the cyclic 76-88aa peptide. 50 We then investigated the long-term effects of the combination of 4 μM cyclic 11-21aa and 2 μM cyclic 76-88aa. A synergistic inhibitory effect of 82% was observed after 24 hours of combined administration, and this inhibitory effect persisted for up to 96 hours (Figure 7B, combined administration: 88% inhibition, cyclic 11-21aa: 41% inhibition, cyclic 76-88aa: 59% inhibition). Furthermore, these concentrations had little effect on the proliferation of MCF-10A cells (Figure 7C).
[0102] Identification of amino acids in the PHB2 peptide sequence that are important for binding to BIG3 Since the PHB2-derived peptides No. 1 (11-22 aa: SEQ ID NO: 1) and No. 5 (76-90 aa: SEQ ID NO: 5) inhibited E2-dependent cell proliferation by approximately 50%, we created peptides in which each amino acid in the peptide sequences of No. 1 and No. 5 was mutated to alanine (Figure 8A) to identify the amino acids important for growth inhibition. Forty-eight hours after seeding, MCF-7 cells were seeded with 10 μM of each PHB2 peptide and 10 nM estrogen, and cell numbers were monitored after 24 hours. First, we evaluated the amino acids in the PHB2 sequence 11-22 aa. No. 1 (11-22 aa) inhibited estrogen-dependent cell proliferation by 65%, while the alanine-mutated peptides No. 59 and No. 62 (SEQ ID NO: 59, 62) only reduced the inhibition to 19% and 8% (Figure 8B). On the other hand, the other alanine-mutated peptides had almost the same inhibitory rate as No. 1 (Figure 8B), suggesting that the 15th and 18th glycines are important for binding to BIG3, and that converting these sites to the isomeric form of D-amino acids may improve inhibitory activity. Next, we evaluated the amino acids in the 76-90aa region of the PHB2 sequence. The inhibitory rate of No. 5 (76-90aa) against estrogen-dependent proliferation was almost reproduced at 54% (Figure 8C). However, the inhibitory rates of the alanine mutant peptides No. 71-73 (sequence numbers 71-73) were weaker than No. 5 (76-90aa), at 38%, 37%, and 13%, respectively (Figure 8C). This suggests that the aspartic acid at position 82 in particular is necessary for the binding of BIG3 to PHB2. Furthermore, in addition to peptides No. 1 (11-22aa) and No. 5 (76-90aa), peptides No. 2 (42-50aa: SEQ ID NO: 2) and No. 3 (38-50aa: SEQ ID NO: 3) showed inhibitory effects (Fig. 1A). In addition, peptides No. 82 and No. 83 (SEQ ID NO: 82, 83) were used to examine their effects on estrogen-dependent cell proliferation. These peptides contained 51-57aa, including 53-57aa (Fig. 1A), which were predicted by in silico analysis to be involved in the interaction between BIG3 and PHB2 (Fig. 8D). As a result, the inhibition rates of No. 2 and No. 3 were 20% and 17%, respectively, whereas the inhibition rates of No. 82 and No. 83, which had amino acids up to the 57th position, were improved to 59% and 61% (Fig. 8E). This suggests that by having amino acids from glutamic acid at the 44th position to glycine at the 57th position, PHB2 peptides with inhibition rates comparable to those of No. 1 and No. 5 can be produced.
[0103] [Example 2] Effect on triple-negative breast cancer 1. Materials and Methods Cell lines and culture conditions The human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 was purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA) and cultured in Leibovitz's L-15 medium (Thermo Fisher Scientific) supplemented with 10% FBS (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) and 1% antibiotic-antimycotic solution (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Osaka, Japan) at 37°C without CO2 regulation.
[0104] Cell proliferation assay MDA-MB-231 cells were plated in a 48-well plate at 1 × 10 4 cells / 200 μL After 48 hours, the medium in each well was replaced with medium containing PHB2 peptide 11-22aa or 76-90aa (20 μMAfter further culturing for 96 hours, the cell proliferation level was measured using Cell Counting Kit-8 (Dojindo, Kumamoto, Japan). Data were obtained from three independent experiments, and graphs (mean ± standard deviation) and the 50% inhibitory concentration (IC) of the peptide on cell proliferation were calculated using the graphing and data analysis software SigmaPlot (Systat Software, San Jose, CA, USA). 50 ) was calculated.
[0105] Combination Assays MDA-MB-231 cells were plated in a 48-well plate at 1 × 10 4 cells / 200 μL After 48 hours, the medium in each well was diluted with PHB2 peptide 11-22aa (addition concentration IC 50 value), PHB2 peptide 76-90aa (addition concentration IC 50 value), a mixture of both peptides (addition concentration is each IC 50 The media were replaced with media containing either phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) or phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) as a negative control, and after 96 hours of culture, cell proliferation levels were measured using Cell Counting Kit-8 (Dojindo, Kumamoto, Japan). The data obtained were used to calculate relative values based on the proliferation level when PBS was added, and a graph was created.
[0106] 2.Results Growth inhibition of breast cancer cell lines by PHB2 peptide To investigate the cell growth inhibitory effect of PHB2 peptides 11-22aa and 76-90aa on the breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231, a serial dilution series of the peptides was prepared, and the proliferation level was measured 96 hours after addition of the peptides to the cells. As a result, as shown in Figure 9A and B, a concentration-dependent cell growth inhibitory effect was observed for both peptides. The 50% inhibitory concentration (IC 50 ) was 0.462 μM for peptide 11-22aa and 0.273 μM for peptide 76-90aa, with peptide 76-90aa showing a higher growth inhibitory effect.
[0107] Combined effect of PHB2 peptides 11-22aa and 76-90aa To investigate the combined effect of PHB2 peptides 11-22aa and 76-90aa on cell proliferation inhibition, both peptides were administered at IC 50 When the peptides were mixed at the IC value and added individually, 50 The cell proliferation levels were compared when each peptide was added alone, as shown in Figure 9C. While each peptide alone inhibited proliferation by approximately 50% compared to the negative control, phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), the inhibitory effect was enhanced to approximately 62% when used in combination.
[0108] [Example 3] Effect of cross-linked PHB2 peptide on estrogen-dependent breast cancer 1. Materials and Methods Cell lines and culture conditions The human breast cancer cell line MCF-7 was purchased from the JCRB Cell Bank (Osaka, Japan) and maintained in MEM (Thermo Fisher Scientific) supplemented with 10% FBS (Nichirei Biosciences, Tokyo, Japan), 1% Antibiotic / Antimycotic solution (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA), 0.1 mM NEAA (Thermo Fisher Scientific), 1 mM sodium pyruvate (Thermo Fisher Scientific), and 10 μg / mL insulin (Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA) at 37°C in 5% CO2. The normal mammary epithelial cell line MCF-10A was purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA) and maintained in MEBM (Lonza) supplemented with the SingleQuots kit (BPE, hydrocortisone, hEGF, insulin, gentamicin / amphotericin B) (Lonza, Walkersville, MD, USA) and 100 ng / mL cholera toxin at 37°C in 5% CO .
[0109] Cell proliferation assay MCF-7 proliferation assays were performed in 48-well plates (2 × 10 4 MCF-10A cells were seeded in 200 μL of 48-well plates (2 × 10 cells / 200 μL). The next day, the medium was changed to phenol red-free DMEM / F12 (Thermo Fisher Scientific) supplemented with 10% FBS, 1% Antibiotic / Antimycotic solution, 0.1 mM NEAA, 1 mM sodium pyruvate, and 10 μg / mL insulin. After 24 hours, the cells were treated with 10 nM 17β-estradiol (estrogen, Sigma) alone or with 10 nM estrogen and a peptide derived from the PHB2 sequence. MCF-10A proliferation assays were performed in 48-well plates (2 × 10 cells / 200 μL). 4 The cells were seeded in 200 μL of PBS and 24 hours later, a peptide derived from the PHB2 sequence was added. Proliferation assays were performed using Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8, Dojindo, Kumamoto, Japan). Data are shown as the mean ± standard deviation of three independent experiments.
[0110] 2.Results Inhibitory effect of cross-linked PHB2 peptide on estrogen-dependent proliferation We crosslinked the PHB2 peptides 11-21aa and 76-88aa using three different crosslinking methods (Fig. 10A: hexafluorobenzene crosslinking, decafluorobiphenyl crosslinking, and disulfide crosslinking) to prepare stapled PHB2 peptides (Fig. 10B). We then examined the inhibitory effects of these peptides on estrogen-dependent proliferation. Forty-eight hours after seeding, breast cancer cells MCF-7 were seeded with 10 μM of each PHB2 peptide and 10 nM estrogen. After 24 hours, cell numbers were assessed using an MTT assay. The 11-22aa and 76-88aa cross-linked PHB2 peptides showed approximately 1.5-fold improved inhibitory effects against estrogen-dependent proliferation compared with the uncross-linked PHB2 peptides (SEQ ID NOs: 109, 113, 114, 118, and 122) (Figure 10C, left; without polyarginine, right). The cross-linking method (stapling) did not affect the inhibitory effects. Furthermore, the cross-linked PHB2 peptides without polyarginine at the C-terminus (SEQ ID NOs: 115, 116, 117, 119, 120, and 121) showed slightly higher inhibitory effects than the polyarginine-linked peptides (with polyarginine: approximately 60% inhibitory rate, without polyarginine: approximately 70% inhibitory rate), suggesting that polyarginine may interfere with the function of the cross-linked structure.
[0111] Inhibitory effect of cyclic PHB2 peptide on estrogen-dependent proliferation To improve the cell membrane permeability and structural stability of the cyclic PHB2 peptide (Fig. 4C, SEQ ID NOS: 25 and 26), we examined its inhibitory effect on estrogen-dependent proliferation by varying the crosslinking structure. In addition to the disulfide crosslink (SEQ ID NOS: 25 and 26), we also evaluated hexafluorobenzene crosslinks (Fig. 11A: SEQ ID NOS: 123 and 126) and decafluorobiphenyl crosslinks (Fig. 11A: SEQ ID NOS: 124 and 127). The cyclic PHB2 peptides crosslinked with fluorobenzene (Fig. 11A: SEQ ID NOS: 123, 124, 126, 127) showed slightly improved growth inhibitory activity compared with the disulfide crosslink (Fig. 11B), with the cyclic PHB2 peptide 11-21aa exhibiting approximately 70% and the cyclic PHB2 peptide 76-88aa exhibiting approximately 80%. There was no significant difference between the single (hexafluorobenzene) and double (decafluorobiphenyl) fluorobenzene crosslinks.
[0112] Effect of alteration of PHB2 peptide 11-22aa on estrogen-dependent proliferation For the PHB2 peptide 11-22aa, the glycines at positions 15 and 18 in the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 28 (full-length PHB2 polypeptide) were thought to be important for binding to BIG3 (Figure 8). Therefore, we investigated whether the inhibitory activity of this peptide would be enhanced by substituting D-alanine and D-leucine at these positions (Figure 12A). The PHB2 peptide in which the glycines at positions 15 and 18 were substituted with D-leucine (SEQ ID NO: 134) exhibited approximately 65% inhibitory activity (Figure 12B), whereas substitution with D-alanine (SEQ ID NO: 133) had no inhibitory effect (Figure 12B). However, since the inhibitory activity of the PHB2 peptide 11-22aa (SEQ ID NO: 1, Figure 8B) was approximately 65%, substitution with D-leucine did not significantly improve the inhibitory activity.
[0113] Effect of cross-linked PHB2 peptide on mammary epithelial cell proliferation We investigated the effects of cross-linked and cyclic PHB2 peptides on the proliferation of normal mammary epithelial cells MCF-10A, which do not express ERα or BIG3 (treated with 10 μM of each PHB2 peptide for 24 hours). As a result, all PHB2 peptides evaluated had no effect on the proliferation of MCF-10A cells (Figure 13). [Industrial Applicability]
[0114] According to the present invention, a peptide derived from the amino acid sequence of PHB2 is provided, which exhibits an inhibitory effect on the BIG3-PHB2 interaction and is useful as a therapeutic agent for breast cancer. The peptide provided by the present invention is useful for treating cancers such as breast cancer. More specifically, the peptide of the present invention is useful for treating BIG3-positive and / or estrogen receptor-positive cancers. The peptide of the present invention targets BIG3, a protein that is specifically and highly expressed in estrogen receptor-positive cancers, rather than PHB2, which is expressed in organs throughout the human body, and is therefore expected to have high selectivity against estrogen receptor-positive cancers. Furthermore, the peptide of the present invention also exhibits antitumor effects against triple-negative breast cancer.
