Abstract
Description
XIAP E3 ligase as a tumor treatment target and application of its targeting compounds TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the application of XIAP E3 ligase as a tumor treatment target and its targeting compounds, in particular to a drug for treating tumors, belonging to the technical field of biochemistry and medicine. BACKGROUND
[0002] X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP) is one of the main members of the apoptosis inhibitor (IAP) family, which contains three N-terminal BIR repeat domains and a C-terminal RING domain. XIAP has very wide significance, and it is involved in cell survival, immune regulation, apoptosis and other physiological and pathological processes. XIAP gene is overexpressed in various tumor cells, such as breast cancer, glioblastoma, ovarian cancer, bladder cancer, prostate cancer, renal cancer, liver cancer, colorectal cancer, lung cancer, metastatic melanoma, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, esophageal cancer, acute and chronic leukemia and other malignant tumors, and the expression level of XIAP is closely related to the invasion and metastasis ability of tumors. Therefore, XIAP is widely used as a target for drug research and development of various tumors or immune diseases. Early research on XIAP inhibitors mainly focused on the BIR domain of XIAP, and some apoptosis-inducing tumor treatment drugs targeting the BIR domain of XIAP were developed. However, since the BIR domain plays an important role in maintaining normal cell function, and these tumor treatment drugs also target the BIR domains of other IAPs (such as cIAP1 and cIAP2) while targeting the BIR domain of XIAP, resulting in greater side effects, therefore, other research methods are urgently needed. SUMMARY
[0003] The inventors have found that the binding sites in the C-terminal of XIAP, especially the RING domain, which can change the E3 ligase activity, are important targets for screening anti-tumor or autoimmune disease treating drugs. Based on these targets, a number of compounds with anti-tumor effects have been screened and further functionally verified (see Table 1, Table 2, Table 8). In the present application, anti-tumor includes not only inhibiting the growth of various tumors such as bladder cancer, muscle-invasive bladder cancer, breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, colorectal cancer, lung adenocarcinoma, gastric cancer, gastric adenocarcinoma, melanoma, renal cancer, etc., but also inhibiting the metastasis (e.g., bladder cancer cell lung metastasis) and invasion of these tumors. Therefore, the present application first provides the use of the C-terminal of XIAP, the RING domain of XIAP, the fragment of XIAP with E3 ubiquitin ligase activity, the amino acid site of XIAP corresponding to the 467H site of human XIAP, or any binding site of the RING domain of XIAP which, after being bound, changes the E3 ligase activity as a target in the preparation of a drug for treating tumors. Examples of the target are one or more of the 440th, 444th, 446th, 447th, 448th, 449th, 451st, 454th, 457th, 458th, 467th, 468th, 469th, 483rd, 494th, 495th, 496th, or 497th amino acid of human XIAP, and all the compounds of the present application are obtained according to these targets. Secondly, the present application also provides the use of an inhibitor (e.g., a compound or a preparation) that inhibits the E3 ubiquitin ligase activity of XIAP in the preparation of a drug for treating tumors. These inhibitors are, for example, all the compounds of the present application, including general compounds, specific compounds, or one or more combinations thereof. In some embodiments, the inhibitors are substances that bind to the C-terminal of XIAP, or bind to the RING domain of XIAP, or bind to the amino acid site of XIAP corresponding to the 467H site of human XIAP, or bind to the RING domain of human XIAP and then inhibit the E3 ligase activity. In some embodiments, these inhibitors can be used in combination with additional therapeutic agents. In some embodiments, these inhibitors can be in any suitable dosage form or administered in any suitable manner, such as the specific dosage forms and specific administration methods mentioned in the present application.

[0194] Example 1 Screening of small molecule drugs targeting XIAP RING domain
[0195] The Site Finder module of MOE software (version 2022) was used to analyze the possible binding sites on the surface of human XIAP protein (PDB ID: 4IC2, 4IC3 and 5O6T). It was found that the co-crystal structure of 4IC3 near the 467th amino acid and the 495th amino acid predicted the binding pockets Site 1 (LEU444 GLU446 GLU447 LYS448 LEU449 LYS451 MET454 ASN457 ILE458 HIS467 LEU468 VAL469 MET483 ILE494 MET496) and Site 2: (LEU444 GLU447 LYS448 LEU468 LEU495 MET496 SER497). Among them, the PLB of Site1 is greater than 1, therefore, the Site1 site of the co-crystal structure 4IC3 was selected to carry out virtual screening, and the XIAP protein sequence is referred to Uniprot ID: P98170. The present application selects a TargetMol compound library containing 36861 bioactive compounds and a Chemdiv compound library containing 1,583,358 structurally diverse compounds as screening databases, a total of 1.62 million molecules, and selects compounds that can form direct interaction with XIAP RING domain (E3 ligase) as screening indicators in terms of affinity, drugability attributes, structural diversity and binding specificity. The high-frequency interaction amino acid sites near the 467th amino acid and the 495th amino acid (key sites of E3 ligase activity) are Asn457, Ile458, Lys448, Met496 and Ser497 (see FIG. 26-FIG. 27), for example, the amino acid Ile458 is involved in the interaction in the interaction mode of 68 compounds. Finally, 65 compounds with relatively strong affinity score, good drugability attributes, and strong binding specificity (such as the affinity score of compound 1 with XIAP E3 ligase is -8.40 kcal / mol) were screened, and subsequent biological activity tests were carried out. When the person skilled in the art needs to screen XIAP inhibitors from human XIAP with other amino acid sequences or from XIAP of other organisms other than humans using a method similar to the present application, the amino acid sites corresponding to the above-mentioned human XIAP protein can be screened without creative labor, for example, H467 of human XIAP corresponds to H466 of mouse XIAP.
[0196] Example 2 Functional verification of small molecule drugs targeting XIAP RING domain
[0197] 1.1 In vitro experiment to detect the anti-tumor activity of small molecule compounds
[0198] 1.1.1 Screening and determination of small molecule compounds
[0199] The small molecule compounds obtained from several screenings were respectively applied to bladder cancer cells, and the anti-tumor activity was detected by CCK8 experiment. In the preliminary screening experiment, the compounds were applied at a concentration of 1 μM for 72 h, and then IC50determination and further experiments were performed on them, and the results are as shown in Table 8.
[0200] Table 8
[0201] 1.1.2 Detection of the targeting specificity and the inhibition of the invasion ability of cancer cells of the small molecule compounds
[0202] The reported direct substrate proteins of XIAP E3 ligase include p62, Bcl-2, PTEN and DNMT3B found in the previous research of the team. The compounds obtained from the above preliminary screening were applied to T24T cancer cells at a safe and non-cytotoxic concentration by CCK8 experiment, and the action time was 24 h, and the protein was collected. The changes of DNMT3B and other reported direct substrate proteins of XIAP E3 ligase after the action of the compounds were detected by Western blotting, and the changes of the invasion-related marker proteins (such as MMP2, MMP9 and N-cadherin) were also detected, and the compounds with consistent up-regulation of substrate proteins and consistent decrease of invasion-related protein indicators were screened. We finally screened the lead small molecule compounds targeting the active site of XIAP RING domain E3 ubiquitin ligase with potential anti-tumor activity, including compound 1 and compound 2 (see FIG. 1). In the Western blot experiment of human bladder cancer T24T cells after the action of the candidate compounds, the changes of DNMT3B and other reported direct substrate proteins of XIAP E3 ligase were detected, and the changes of the invasion-related marker proteins were also detected. It can be seen that the expression of the substrate proteins is consistently up-regulated after the action of compounds 1 and 2, and the expression of the invasion-related proteins is consistently decreased.
[0203] Based on the fact that cell invasion is an important feature of cancer progression, and cancer cell metastasis is the main cause of death in bladder tumors, finding small molecule compounds that have a significant inhibitory effect on tumor cell infiltration and metastasis is a focus of research efforts. Because the team had previously successfully constructed the XIAP stable knockout cell line T24T(KOXIAP) and the control cell line T24T(vector), and had constructed the corresponding cell models by returning the HA-labeled XIAP plasmid and the HA-labeled XIAP RING H467 mutant plasmid in the XIAP-knockout cells, namely T24T(KOXIAP / XIAP) and T24T(KOXIAP / H467A), respectively. Further, the effects of these compounds on the migration and invasion abilities of T24T(vector), T24T(KOXIAP), T24T(KOXIAP / XIAP), and T24T(KOXIAP / H467A) cells were detected by Transwell experiments. The 5% FBS medium containing the compound to be detected was added to the lower chamber, and the cells were diluted to a uniform single-cell suspension (20,000 cells / well) in 0.1% FBS medium containing the same concentration of compound and added to the upper chamber, and acted for 24 h, with the medium containing the corresponding DMSO working concentration as the control. Figure 2 shows the results of detecting the migration and invasion abilities of T24T cells under the action of small molecule inhibitors. Among them, (A & F) are photographs of the migration and invasion abilities of T24T(vector), T24T(KOXIAP), T24T(KOXIAP / XIAP), and T24T(KOXIAP / H467A) cells under the action of DMSO and 2 kinds of small molecule inhibitors (1, 2) detected by Transwell experiments; (B & G) are the column chart results of the migration abilities corresponding to A and F; (C & H) are the column chart results of the invasion abilities corresponding to A and F; the column chart represents the average value ± standard deviation of 5 independent fields; (D) is a photograph of the migration and invasion abilities of T24T cells under the action of DMSO and small molecule inhibitor A at different concentrations detected by Transwell experiments; (E) is the line graph results of the migration and invasion abilities corresponding to D. The asterisk (*) indicates that the results have statistical significance compared with the control group (P<0.05).
[0204] It can be seen that when compound 1 and compound 2 are used at concentrations of 0.5 μM and 2 μM respectively, the invasion abilities of T24T(Vector) cells and T24T(KOXIAP / XIAP) cells are significantly reduced compared with cells treated with the same dose of DMSO, indicating that the compounds can effectively inhibit cell invasion. At the same time, T24T(KOXIAP) cells and T24T(KOXIAP / H467A) cells do not show obvious inhibition of cell invasion under the same grouping treatment. Compound 1 is used at concentration gradients (0.0625 μM, 0.125 μM, 0.25 μM, 0.5 μM) to act on T24T cells, and the cell invasion ability shows concentration-dependent inhibition. The results suggest that the compound inhibits the invasion ability of bladder cancer cells by specifically targeting the E3 ubiquitin ligase site of XIAP.
[0205] 1.2 In vivo experiment for detecting the anti-tumor effect and pharmacokinetics of the small molecule compound
[0206] 1.2.1 In vivo detection of the anti-tumor activity of the small molecule compound
[0207] 1.2.1.1 Detection of the anti-tumor activity of the small molecule compound on primary basal muscle-invasive bladder cancer in mice
[0208] 5-6-week-old wild-type mice were randomly divided into 3 groups, 10 mice in each group, including a vehicle control group, a 0.05% BBN-containing drinking water group, and a 0.05% BBN-containing drinking water + small molecule compound to be tested treatment group (100 mg / kg / day). After administration, physiological indicators (such as body weight and respiratory rate, etc.) were monitored every 3 days, and the state of the mice was closely observed. After drug treatment, the mice were sacrificed, the bladder was removed, the changes in the bladder were observed, the weight of the bladder was measured, and the bladder / mouse weight ratio was calculated. They were divided into two parts: one part was used for pathological staining analysis such as H&E and immunohistochemistry (IHC), and the other part was frozen for future RNA and protein analysis.
[0209] The therapeutic effect of the targeted small molecule compound on primary basal muscle-invasive bladder cancer was evaluated.
[0210] Specifically, 5-6 week old wild type C57 / B6 male mice were randomly divided into 3 groups (5 mice in each group), including: ① vehicle drinking water control group, ② 0.05% BBN drinking water group, ③ 0.05% BBN drinking water group plus small molecule compound group. The ① group was given vehicle drinking water until 25 weeks, the ② group was given 0.05% BBN drinking water until 25 weeks, and the ③ group was given BBN plus the small molecule compound (100 mg / kg / day) until 25 weeks after BBN exposure for 16 weeks. The BBN drinking water and the small molecule compound were replaced every other day. After the treatment, the mice were sacrificed, the bladder was removed, and the changes in bladder morphology and volume were observed, and the weight of the bladder was measured and the bladder / mouse weight ratio was calculated. Figure 3 shows the results of the blocking effect of candidate small molecule compound 1 on primary basal muscle layer invasive bladder cancer in mice. (A-D) Comparison of bladder tissue morphology size (A), tumor weight (B), tumor size to mouse weight ratio (C), and mouse weight (D) in the vehicle control group, 0.05% BBN drinking water group, and 0.05% BBN drinking water group plus small molecule compound 1 group; (E) HE staining to observe the inhibitory effect of small molecule compound 1 on the pathological changes of BMIBC caused by BBN exposure.
[0211] The results showed that: 80% (4 / 5) of the mice in the ② group developed basal muscle layer invasive bladder cancer. In the ③ group, compound 1 at a dose of 100 mg / kg / day had no significant difference in bladder morphology, volume, and bladder / mouse weight ratio compared with the ① group, and the BBN-induced decrease in mouse weight was also improved. HE staining showed that BBN induced pathological changes in BMIBC, and compound 1 significantly reduced the pathological damage of BMIBC after intervention. The above results showed that compound 1 had a significant therapeutic effect on BBN-induced primary basal muscle layer invasive bladder cancer in mice.
[0212] Specifically, 5-6 week old wild type C57 / B6 male mice were randomly divided into 3 groups (5 mice in each group), including: ① vehicle drinking water control group, ② 0.05% BBN drinking water group, ③ 0.05% BBN drinking water group plus small molecule compound group. The ① group was given vehicle drinking water until 25 weeks, the ② group was given 0.05% BBN drinking water until 25 weeks, and the ③ group was given BBN plus the small molecule compound (100 mg / kg / day) until 25 weeks after BBN exposure for 16 weeks. The BBN drinking water and the small molecule compound were replaced every other day. After the treatment, the mice were sacrificed, the bladder was removed, and the changes in bladder morphology and volume were observed, and the weight of the bladder was measured and the bladder / mouse weight ratio was calculated. Figure 3 shows the results of the blocking effect of candidate small molecule compound 1 on primary basal muscle layer invasive bladder cancer in mice. (A-D) Comparison of bladder tissue morphology size (A), tumor weight (B), tumor size to mouse weight ratio (C), and mouse weight (D) in the vehicle control group, 0.05% BBN drinking water group, and 0.05% BBN drinking water group plus small molecule compound 1 group; (E) HE staining to observe the inhibitory effect of small molecule compound 1 on the pathological changes of BMIBC caused by BBN exposure.
[0213] Results show that: in group ③, compound 1 at a dose of 100 mg / kg / day, the bladder shape, volume and bladder / mouse weight ratio of mice have a significant inhibitory effect compared with group ①, suggesting that compound 1 significantly inhibits the occurrence of BMIBC. The above results all show that compound 1 can effectively inhibit the occurrence and development of primary basal muscle layer invasive bladder cancer in mice.
[0214] Experiment 3 is specifically as follows: 5-6 week-old wild-type C57 / B6 male mice are randomly divided into 3 groups, 5 in each group, including: ① vehicle containing drinking water control group, ② 0.05% BBN containing drinking water group, ③ 0.05% BBN containing drinking water group plus drug group. Group ① is given vehicle containing drinking water until 25 weeks, group ② is given 0.05% BBN containing drinking water until 25 weeks, and group ③ is given BBN plus compound 2 (Com2 100 mg / kg / day) after BBN exposure for 17 weeks until 25 weeks. BBN drinking water and Com2 are replaced every other day.
[0215] Results show (see Figure 6) the administration results of compound 2 in a mouse model of BBN-induced primary basal muscle layer invasive bladder cancer. Among them, in group ③, compound 2 at a dose of 100 mg / kg / day, the bladder shape, volume and bladder / mouse weight ratio of mice have decreased compared with group ②, and the occurrence of BBN-induced BMIBC in mice has been improved. The above results show that compound 2 has a therapeutic effect on BBN-induced primary basal muscle layer invasive bladder cancer in mice.
[0216] 1.2.1.2 Detection of the inhibitory effect of small molecule compounds on the subcutaneous tumor formation of BMIBC cells in nude mice
[0217] BALB / C-nu nude mice aged 3-4 weeks are selected. T24T bladder cancer cells are expanded, counted after trypsin digestion, resuspended with PBS, and the cell density is adjusted to 2×10 7 / ml. 100 μl of cell suspension is taken with a 1 ml sterile injection needle and inoculated subcutaneously in nude mice, generally within half an hour, and the cell suspension is placed on ice during the process to reduce cell metabolism and maintain cell activity. The mice are randomly divided into 4 groups (9 in each group), including ① vehicle control group; ② 10 mg / kg compound 1 intraperitoneal injection administration group; ③ 40 mg / kg compound 1 administration group via drinking water; ④ 10 mg / kg compound 1 intraperitoneal injection administration treatment group after subcutaneous injection of tumor cells for 5 days and obvious tumor growth. After 4 weeks of drug treatment, the mice are sacrificed, the changes in subcutaneous tumors are observed, and the inhibitory effect of small molecule compounds on the subcutaneous tumor formation of BMIBC cells in nude mice is evaluated.
[0218] The results show (see Figure 5) that the weight and size of the subcutaneous tumors of the nude mice treated with compound 1 are significantly reduced compared with the control group, indicating that compound 1 has a good inhibitory effect and therapeutic effect on the subcutaneous tumor formation of BMIBC cells in vivo.
[0219] 1.2.1.3 Human xenograft model (PDX) for detecting the anti-tumor activity of small molecule compounds in mice
[0220] Fresh tumor tissue samples of bladder cancer patients are taken, the capsule and necrotic tissue are removed, washed with sterile PBS for 3 times, and cut into fragments with a diameter of about 2-3 mm on a sterile plate. A small incision is made on the kidney of a 4-8 week old nude mouse to find the kidney position, and the tumor tissue sample is filled into the tip of a customized trocar needle with forceps and transplanted under the kidney capsule of the mouse. 3-4 nude mice are inoculated for each tumor, and the inoculation process must be completed within 2 hours after the tumor sample is removed from the body. This model retains the microenvironment and basic characteristics of the primary tumor cells, forming the first generation of transplanted tumors (F1). When the transplanted tumor tissue grows to a certain size, it is sterilely operated and transplanted into a new batch of mice to form the second generation of transplanted tumors (F2). Repeat the operation to form the third generation (F3), fourth generation (F4), etc. of transplanted tumors, and the F3 and above mice can be used for drug treatment research.
[0221] The F4 generation of transplanted tumors is transplanted into 40 BALB / C-nu nude mice to construct a bladder cancer PDX model for efficacy evaluation. After 18 days of normal feeding, CT evaluation is performed to assess tumor formation. The tumor-bearing mice are randomly divided into 4 groups, including a vehicle control group, a small molecule compound to be tested treatment group, and 3 dose groups of 50 mg / kg / day, 100 mg / kg / day, and 200 mg / kg / day. The gastric gavage method is used for drug administration for 30 days. The physiological indicators (such as body weight, heart rate, and respiratory rate) and biochemical indicators (such as blood glucose, blood lipids, and liver function) are monitored every 3 days after drug administration, and the state of the mice is closely observed. After drug treatment, the mice are sacrificed, the changes in the bladder are observed, the weight of the bladder is measured, and the bladder / mouse weight ratio is calculated. One part is used for pathological staining analysis such as H&E and immunohistochemistry (IHC), and the other part is frozen for future RNA and protein analysis. The therapeutic effect of the small molecule compound on bladder cancer PDX is evaluated.
[0222] Example 3 Screening and identification of the anti-tumor spectrum of small molecule compounds
[0223] Based on the overexpression of XIAP in various epithelial tumors and the possible important biological function, the screened small molecule inhibitors targeting human XIAP E3 ligase with anti-bladder cancer activity were applied to different tumor cells to detect whether they have the same anti-tumor activity on other XIAP high-expression tumors. According to the analysis of TCGA database (as shown in Figure 7), the expression of XIAP in breast cancer, colorectal cancer and lung adenocarcinoma is significantly higher than that in normal tissues. The corresponding tumor cells have been collected, and the active small molecule compounds screened are applied to each tumor cell to detect their anti-tumor activity.
[0224] Experiment 1: The compound 1 obtained by preliminary screening was applied to AGS (human gastric adenocarcinoma cells) and HGC-27 gastric cancer cells, U2-OS human osteosarcoma cells and MB-231 breast cancer cells at different concentrations, and the action time was 24 h. The protein was collected. Figure 8 shows the Western blot experiment after the candidate small molecule inhibitor 1 acts on different tumor cells. The change of the protein of the reported XIAP E3 ligase direct substrate and the change of the marker protein related to cell invasion were detected. (A and B) The results of the up-regulation of the substrate protein and the decrease of the invasion index after the compound 1 acts on the gastric cancer cells AGS and HGC-27. (C) The results of the up-regulation of the substrate protein and the decrease of the invasion index after the compound 1 acts on the human osteosarcoma cells U2-OS. (D) The results of the up-regulation of the substrate protein and the decrease of the invasion index after the compound 1 acts on the breast cancer cells MB-231.
[0225] The results of Western blotting showed that the expression of DNMT3B and other reported XIAP E3 ligase direct substrate proteins increased after the compound acted, and the expression of the marker proteins related to cell invasion (such as MMP2, MMP9) decreased significantly.
[0226] Experiment 2: 1.25% agarose solution and BME cell culture medium (2X) were prepared, and the 42℃ preheated medium was mixed with 1.25% agarose solution at a ratio of 3:2, and then added into the six-well plate (3mL / well) as soon as possible. Attention should be paid to not generate bubbles during plating. After plating, it was solidified at room temperature for about 2h; the prepared cells were digested and counted, and 8000 cells per well were added to the prepared medium. The 1.25% agarose solution was added to the mixed cell suspension in the medium in proportion, and then immediately added to the corresponding lower gel. Attention should be paid to not generate bubbles during plating. After plating, it was solidified at room temperature for about 2h. After solidification, it was sealed with sealing film and placed in a 37℃ cell incubator for culture. During the period, the cell colony formation was observed regularly, and after about 2-4 weeks, the microscope was used to take pictures and statistically analyze the cell colony formation rate.
[0227] The above results show that the malignant proliferation of human melanoma cells (A375), lung cancer cells (HCC827) and prostate cancer cells (PC-3) is inhibited under the action of compound 1 and its modified compounds (see Figures 9 and 10).
[0228] Effect of small molecule compounds on cell metastasis and invasion
[0229] The effects of compounds 1, X-6, X-10, X-20, Y-9-3 on the metastasis and invasion ability of T24T cells were determined by the method of Reference Example 2, and the results are shown in Figure 11. The effects of compounds B6, B8, B9, B10, C1-4, C5-2-2, C1-5, Y-9-2, 940532-51-4, 714278-58-7 on the metastasis and invasion ability of T24T cells were determined, and the results are shown in Figure 25.
[0230] XIAP RING domain plays a crucial role in the development of BBN-induced basal muscle-invasive bladder cancer (BMIBC)
[0231] BBN (N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl)-nitrosamine) is an environmental chemical carcinogen that can induce mouse muscle-invasive bladder cancer and is widely used in the study of bladder cancer. When 0.05%-0.1% (v / v) of BBN is added to the drinking water of mice, about 15 weeks later, the abnormal hyperplasia of the mouse urothelium develops into squamous differentiation and invasive bladder cancer. This model is highly consistent with the development process and histological changes of human muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Since BBN can induce primary basal muscle-invasive bladder cancer in most mice exposed to it, we used this mouse model to study mice with deletion of the RING domain of XIAP (△RING knock-in), and found that the RING domain, rather than the BIR domain, mediates the development of BBN-induced primary BMIBC. In Figure 12, (A) Comparison of the development of basal muscle-invasive bladder cancer in XIAP wild-type and RING domain deletion mice induced by BBN; (B) After 23 weeks of BBN induction, HE staining and pathological analysis of mouse bladder tissue confirmed that the urothelium developed into muscle-invasive bladder cancer, and the basal bladder cancer marker KRT5 was highly expressed; deletion of the XIAP RING domain can significantly inhibit the development of basal muscle-invasive bladder cancer; (C and D) In the mouse urothelium, the expression of KRT14 cells increases and thickens with the increase of BBN induction time; (E) Comparison of the expression of KRT14 and KRT20 in the urothelium of the bladder of XIAP wild-type and RING domain deletion mice after 23 weeks of BBN induction.
[0232] As shown in Figure 12A, wild-type XIAP and RING domain-deleted mice were given 0.05% BBN in drinking water for 23 weeks. 75% (15 / 20) of XIAP wild-type mice developed bladder cancer, while only 4.5% (1 / 22) of RING domain-deleted mice developed bladder cancer. Thus, RING domain deletion blocked 94% of bladder cancer development. HE staining and immunohistochemical staining with anti-KRT5 and KRT14 antibodies showed that BBN induced BMIBC, and the expression of basal-type marker KRT14 gradually increased as the BBN induction time increased (Figures 12C and 12D); while the expression of luminal-type molecular marker KRT20 gradually decreased, and RING domain deletion significantly reduced the expression of KRT14 (Figure 12E). The results show that deletion of the XIAP RING domain in bladder epithelial cells can significantly inhibit the development of BBN-induced mouse BMIBC, suggesting that the RING domain plays a crucial role in the development of BBN-induced primary BMIBC.
[0233] Example 6 RING domain E3 ligase is a key site for XIAP to promote the development of mouse BMIBCs and cancer cell invasion
[0234] Further studies found that XIAP RING domain can specifically down-regulate the expression of DNMT3B protein in BMIBC cells, therefore, we explored the role of XIAP RING domain in the degradation of DNMT3B. The results are shown in Figure 13, wherein, (A) the role of XIAP RING domain in the degradation of DNMT3B protein was detected by Western blot experiment; (B) the expression level of DNMT3B in the indicated cells was detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR experiment; (C and D) the U5637 cells after knocking out XIAP were successfully returned to RING domain (Myc-RING) and RING domain containing E3 ligase active site point mutation (H467A), respectively, and the influence of Western blot experiment on the degradation of DNMT3B protein was detected; (E) the interaction between DNMT3B and RING domain was detected by immunoprecipitation; (F) the ubiquitination level of DNMT3B was detected by immunoprecipitation; (G and H) the influence of the returned RING domain and the RING domain containing E3 ligase active site point mutation on the migration and infiltration of U5637 cells after knocking out XIAP was detected by Transwell experiment; (I) the expression level of SNHG1 in the indicated cells was detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR experiment; (J) wild type XIAP and H466A mutant XIAP mice (equivalent to human H467A site) were treated with control or BBN for 16 weeks (n=10), the bladder of the mice was taken, and the pathological analysis of the bladder tissue was carried out by HE staining, and the incidence of basal muscle invasive bladder cancer formation in the mice was calculated; (K) the expression level of SNHG1 was detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR.
[0235] Results showed that: compared with BMIBC U5637(Vector), knock-out XIAP could significantly inhibit the degradation rate of DNMT3B, while the return of XIAP RING domain could completely restore the degradation rate of DNMT3B protein (Figure 13A). Compared with protein degradation, mRNA levels did not change significantly in U5637(Vector), U5637(KOXIAP / Vector) and U5637(KOXIAP / RING) three cells (Figure 13B). This result showed that XIAP RING domain regulated the expression of DNMTB by mediating the degradation of DNMT3B protein. RING domain has E3 ligase activity, so is the degradation of DNMT3B protein related to E3 ligase? For this, the E3 ligase active site was point-mutated (H467A) to lose E3 ligase activity, and then the wild-type RING domain was returned to the XIAP knockout cell respectively. The results showed that: compared with the wild-type RING domain, the H467A point-mutated RING domain lost the ability to mediate the degradation of DNMT3B protein (Figure 13C-D), indicating that the E3 ligase activity of XIAP RING domain played an important role in the degradation of DNMT3B protein.
[0236] To determine whether the RING domain E3 ligase uses DNMT3B protein as a substrate and mediates the ubiquitination and degradation of DNMT3B protein, we transfected U5637 (KO XIAP / myc-DNMT3B) cells with wild-type RING and its H467A mutant plasmids, respectively, and lysed the transfected cells. We detected the interaction between DNMT3B and the RING domain by immunoprecipitation. We found that DNMT3B could bind to the RING domain, but the H467A mutant RING domain lost the ability to bind to DNMT3B (Figure 13E). At the same time, the ubiquitination level of DNMT3B in cells transfected with wild-type RING plasmid was significantly increased, while the ubiquitination level of DBMT3B in cells transfected with H467A mutant RING was significantly reduced (Figure 13F). This suggests that the RING domain E3 ligase of XIAP not only binds to the DNMT3B protein, but also mediates the ubiquitination and degradation of the DNMT3B protein. In terms of cell function, cells transfected with the H467A mutant RING plasmid could not restore the invasiveness of cells as well as the wild-type RING plasmid (Figures 13G-H); the restoration of SNHG1 expression in U5637 (KO XIAP) by the XIAP RING plasmid could not be restored by the H467A mutant RING plasmid (Figure 13I). In addition, compared with XIAP wild-type mice, the incidence of BBN-induced BMIBC in bladder epithelial conditionally induced transgenic mice with H466A mutation (equivalent to human H467A site) was significantly reduced (10% vs. 50%, as shown in Figure 13J); the expression of SNHG1 in the urothelial cells of BBN-induced XIAP H466A mutant mice was also significantly inhibited (Figure 13K).
[0237] The above results suggest that the RING domain and its E3 ligase can mediate ubiquitination and degradation of DNMT3B protein as a direct substrate, thereby promoting the expression of SNHG1 and the occurrence and development of primary BMIBC and cancer cell invasion. These findings allow us to fully understand the crucial role of XIAP RING domain E3 ligase in the occurrence and development of BMIBC and cancer cell invasion. It is known in the art that XIAP expression is ubiquitous in most adult and fetal tissues. XIAP expression is increased in various tumors and positively correlated with tumor malignancy: expression in poorly differentiated tumors is significantly higher than in well-differentiated tumors; expression in metastatic tumors is significantly higher than in primary tumors. Moreover, high expression of XIAP is closely related to poor clinical prognosis of tumors, including a strong correlation between XIAP protein levels and survival in patients with acute myeloid leukemia. Since the compounds and compositions of the present application inhibit X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP), specifically by targeting the XIAP RING domain to alter E3 ligase activity, thereby exerting key biological activities such as inhibition of cell invasion and metastasis. Therefore, XIAP antagonists can be used to treat all types of diseases mediated by XIAP, including but not limited to cancer, autoimmune diseases (such as systemic lupus erythematosus or rheumatoid arthritis), and other diseases involving XIAP mediation.
[0238] Example 7 Application of bladder cancer model to study the anti-tumor activity of small molecule compounds
[0239] 1. Subcutaneous tumor model to detect the tumor inhibition effect of small molecule compound Com2 in mice in vivo
[0240] The anti-tumor activity of small molecule compound Com2 was evaluated using a subcutaneous tumor model of human bladder cancer cells T24T in nude mice. After 18 nude mice were subcutaneously inoculated with 2x106 T24T cells, they were randomly divided into a control group (Vehicle) and a drug administration group (Com2, 100 mg / kg / day), with 9 nude mice in each group. Drug administration was started the next day after inoculation, once a day for 33 days, and tumor volume was measured every 4 days starting on the 9th day. The results showed (see Figure 14) that after the action of Com2, there was a significant tumor growth inhibition effect compared with the control group, with a tumor inhibition rate of 94.9%.
[0241] 2. Lung metastasis model to detect the tumor lung metastasis inhibition activity of small molecule compound Com1 in mice in vivo
[0242] BALB / C-nu nude mice 3-4 weeks old were selected. T24T bladder cancer cells were expanded, counted after trypsin digestion, resuspended with PBS, and adjusted to a cell density of 3x10 7 / ml. 100 μl (3x106 The cell suspension was injected into the tail vein of the nude mice. After 5 weeks of normal feeding, the mice were randomly divided into two groups, including a vehicle control group and a small molecule compound treatment group (Coml, 100 mg / kg / day), each group of 5. The drug was administered by drinking water for 8 weeks. The physiological indicators (such as body weight, heart rate, respiratory rate, etc.), biochemical indicators (such as blood sugar, blood lipids, liver function, etc.) were monitored every 3 days after administration, and the state of the mice was closely observed. After the drug treatment was completed, the mice were sacrificed, the lung tissue was fixed with picric acid for 24 h, and the number of lung metastases was calculated by taking pictures, paraffin-embedded and HE staining. The inhibitory activity of small molecule compounds on tumor lung metastasis in vivo was evaluated. The results are shown (see Figure 15) that the lung metastases in the Coml treatment group were significantly reduced, and the volume was smaller. The morphological characteristics of the tissue were observed by HE staining, and it was found that the normal tissue cell structure was restored after drug treatment, indicating that Coml can significantly inhibit the formation of tumor lung metastases in mice.
[0243] 3. Target point dependence of the inhibitory effect of small molecule compound Coml on bladder cancer growth in mice
[0244] To verify whether the anti-tumor activity of small molecule compound Coml in bladder cancer is mediated by acting on XIAP E3 ligase activity, human bladder cancer cells T24T were selected for subcutaneous tumor formation experiment in 3-4 week old BALB / C-nu nude mice. The T24T cells were expanded, counted after trypsin digestion, resuspended with PBS, and the cell density was adjusted to 2x10 7ml sterile syringe, 100 μl of the cell suspension was taken up with a 1 ml sterile syringe needle and inoculated subcutaneously into the nude mice, generally within half an hour, with the cell suspension being kept on ice in between to reduce the metabolism of the cells and to maintain the activity of the cells. The mice were randomly divided into four groups (5 mice in each group), including 1) T24T (KOXIAP / XIAP) Vehicle control group; 2) T24T (KOXIAP / XIAP) drug group (10 mg / kg / day); 3) T24T (KOXIAP / H467A) Vehicle control group; and 4) T24T (KOXIAP / H467A) drug group (10 mg / kg / day). The drug was injected intraperitoneally starting from the day after the inoculation of the tumor cells, once a day, for 30 days. The results (see Figure 16) show that the T24T (KOXIAP / XIAP) drug group (10 mg / kg / day) significantly inhibited the growth of the subcutaneous tumors as compared with the control group, with the tumor inhibition rate reaching about 70%, and the T24T (KOXIAP / H467A) cells had a reduced ability to form subcutaneous tumors as compared with the T24T (KOXIAP / XIAP) cells, but no significant change in the growth of the tumors was observed in the T24T (KOXIAP / H467A) drug group (10 mg / kg / day) as compared with the control group. This indicates that Coml inhibits the growth of bladder cancer in mice by specifically targeting the E3 ubiquitin ligase site of XIAP.
[0245] Example 8 Anti-tumor activity of the small molecule compound in a gastric cancer model
[0246] The anti-tumor activity of the small molecule compound Coml against gastric cancer was tested using a subcutaneous tumor model of human gastric adenocarcinoma AGS cells in mice. Sixteen BALB / C-nu nude mice were inoculated subcutaneously with 5 x 10 6 The mice were randomly divided into four groups, a control group (Vehicle) and different drug groups (5 mg / kg / day, 20 mg / kg / day, 100 mg / kg / day), with 4 mice in each group. The drug was administered once a day, intraperitoneally, starting from the day after the inoculation, for 24 days. The results (see Figure 17) show that the drug groups (5 mg / kg / day, 20 mg / kg / day, 100 mg / kg / day) all had an inhibitory effect as compared with the control group, with the inhibition rate reaching 90% at a dose of 20 mg / kg / day of the compound 1 and the human gastric adenocarcinoma AGS cells hardly growing in the nude mice at a dose of 100 mg / kg / day.
[0247] In addition, the anti-tumor activity of the small molecule compound Coml against gastric cancer was further tested using a subcutaneous tumor model of mouse gastric cancer MFC cells in mice. Twenty C57BL6J mice were inoculated subcutaneously with 5 x 10 6MFC cells were randomly divided into four groups: a control group (Vehicle) and groups receiving different concentrations of the drug (5 mg / kg / day, 10 mg / kg / day, and 40 mg / kg / day), with five mice in each group. Drug administration began the day after inoculation and was administered intraperitoneally once daily for 22 days. Results (see Figure 18) showed that, compared to the control group, the drug-treated groups (5 mg / kg / day, 10 mg / kg / day, and 40 mg / kg / day) all exhibited inhibitory effects. Specifically, compound 1 at a dose of 10 mg / kg / day showed almost no growth of gastric cancer MFC cells in mice, demonstrating a highly significant tumor-inhibiting effect.

[0249] Using a subcutaneous tumorigenesis model of pancreatic cancer in mice with KPC cells, the antitumor activity of the small molecule compound Com1 against pancreatic cancer was further investigated. Twenty-four C57BL / 6J mice were subcutaneously inoculated with 1×10- KPC cells. 6 After inoculating KPC cells, mice were randomly divided into four groups: a control group (Vehicle) and groups receiving different concentrations of the drug (10 mg / kg / day, 40 mg / kg / day, and 100 mg / kg / day), with six mice in each group. Drug administration began the day after inoculation and was administered intraperitoneally once daily for 24 days. Results (see Figure 19) showed that, compared to the control group, the drug-treated groups exhibited tumor-inhibiting effects at high doses (40 mg / kg / day and 100 mg / kg / day), with the drug-treated group (100 mg / kg / day) achieving an inhibition rate of 90%. This indicates that compound 1 has an inhibitory effect on the growth of pancreatic cancer cells in mice.

Medication was administered via drinking water starting the day after inoculation, once daily for 25 days. Results (see Figure 20) showed that, compared to the control group, the small molecule compound Com1 had a certain inhibitory effect on the growth of human melanoma A375 cells in nude mice, with a tumor inhibition rate of 40%.

Drug administration began the day after inoculation and was administered once daily for 18 consecutive days. The results (see Figure 21) showed that, compared to the control group, all drug-administered groups exhibited significant inhibitory effects on tumor growth. The tumor inhibition rate in the intraperitoneal injection group (5 mg / kg / day) exceeded 90%, while no tumor cells grew in the intraperitoneal injection groups (20 mg / kg / day, 40 mg / kg / day) and the drinking water administration group (40 mg / kg / day).
[0254] Example 12: Studying the antitumor activity of small molecule compounds using a lung cancer model.
[0255] The antitumor activity of the small molecule compound X-10 against lung adenocarcinoma was detected by subcutaneous tumorigenesis of human lung adenocarcinoma H1299 cells in nude mice.
