Abstract
Description
A KLHL24 ubiquitin ligase inhibitor and application thereof TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of medicine, in particular to a KLHL24 ubiquitin ligase inhibitor and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] KLHL24 belongs to the Kelch-like family proteins (KLHLs), which encode proteins with a highly conserved BTB domain and a BACK domain, which can interact with CUL3 and RBX1 to form a CUL3-RBX1-Kelch ubiquitin ligase complex. Kelch-like proteins also have a Kelch domain for recruiting substrates, which determines the specificity of E3 ligase. KLHL24 is widely expressed in various tissues of the human body, including the skin.
[0003] The research led by the first inventor of the present application first discovered that the truncated KLHL24-ΔN28 protein caused by the mutation of the initiation codon of the Klhl24 gene is more stable due to the decrease in its own ubiquitination degree, thereby leading to the ubiquitination and degradation of a large amount of keratin KRT14 in the skin by KLHL24, making the basal layer cells of the epidermis fragile and easy to fall off, and ultimately leading to the occurrence of hereditary epidermolysis bullosa (Lin, Zhimiao, et al. Stabilizing mutations of KLHL24 ubiquitin ligase cause loss of keratin 14 and human skin fragility. Nature genetics 48.12 (2016): 1508-1516.). Subsequent studies reported that the ubiquitination substrates of KLHL24, in addition to KRT14, also include KRT15, Vimentin and Desmin. Another study found that the syndrome phenotype caused by KLHL24 mutation is emerging. EBS-KLHL24 patients have extensive areas of bare skin and skin fragility at birth, and over time, they develop atrophic scars, accompanied by life-threatening cardiomyopathy (Yenamandra, V.K., et al. Cardiomyopathy in patients with epidermolysis bullosa simplex with mutations in KLHL24. British Journal of Dermatology (2018) 179(5): 1181-1183). EBS-KLHL24 patients can also experience hair loss, especially in areas of skin atrophy, and sometimes even terminal hair (Cui, Jun, et al. KLHL24-Mediated Hair Follicle Stem Cells Structural Disruption Causes Alopecia. Journal of Investigational Dermatology (2022) 142(8): 2079-2087). It can be seen that the development of drugs targeting KLHL24 has great significance.
[0004] However, there is currently no specific drug for treating diseases caused by KLHL24 mutations. Therefore, it is of great significance to establish a high-throughput screening system and successfully screen drugs that can specifically bind and inhibit the activity of KLHL24 for the treatment of diseases caused by KLHL24 mutations. Given the function of KLHL24 in skin and hair regeneration, screening such inhibitors also has great significance in maintaining normal hair. SUMMARY

The laser confocal high-content imaging microscope (PerkinElmer, Opera Phenix) was used to take pictures. The instrument operation manual was followed, and after a new work template was established, a field of view was first selected for focusing, and after aligning the focal plane, 488 nm excitation light and 340 nm excitation light (separate exposure) were selected for taking pictures. The Opera data analysis station was used for analysis. First, count the DAPI-stained cell nucleus N, which is the total number of cells; GFP-positive cells emit green fluorescence under 488 nm excitation light. Count the number of green fluorescent cells n, which is the number of GFP-KLHL24-positive expression cells. When counting n, the threshold value of green fluorescence needs to be set to select as many green fluorescent cells as possible, and in addition, cell area, cell shape and other parameters can be set to reduce the influence of background.

[0151] Drug preparation scheme:
[0152] Preparation of the test side external preparation (referred to as test preparation) : 10 mM STK731044 dissolved in DMSO was added to ethanol glycerol (ethanol and glycerol mixed at a volume ratio of 1:1) to make the final concentration of STK731044 0.1 g / 100 ml;
[0153] Preparation of the control side external preparation (referred to as control preparation) : the same volume and concentration of DMSO solution (without STK231044) as used in the test preparation was added to ethanol glycerol (ethanol and glycerol mixed at a volume ratio of 1:1).
[0154] Seven specific time point Klhl24 c.3G / T Female or male mice were administered with KLHL24 inhibitors, the administration time was the first resting period P15-P30, a total of 14 days, the administration method was to use 20 μL of test preparation on the left side (test side) of the mouse back and 20 μL of control preparation on the right side (control side), and to smear once a day. The tape hair sticking experiment was performed at the second resting period, i.e. P50, and the self-control was performed. When the tape hair sticking experiment was performed, the mouse was anesthetized with 0.25% tri bromoethanol, and then the tape was pressed on the back of the mouse with the same force for 30 s, and then the tape was removed, photographed, and the pictures were collected and sorted. The weight of the shed hair shaft was calculated, and Dunnett-t test was used for comparison between the experimental group and the control group.
[0155] Example 1: Establishment of KLHL24 ubiquitin ligase inhibitor high-throughput screening system
[0156] KLHL24 belongs to the KLHL E3 ubiquitin ligase family and has the characteristics of E3 ubiquitin ligase, i.e. it can ubiquitinate substrate proteins when there are substrate proteins, and it can ubiquitinate itself when there are no substrate proteins. The present application found in the previous experiment that MLN4924 can significantly increase the content of KLHL24 protein. We can consider that KLHL24 is the E3 ubiquitin ligase of KLHL24 itself. Therefore, the stability of KLHL24 protein itself was used as a screening index to design the screening method. According to the above idea, a screening strategy as shown in Figure 1 was designed. Specifically, the following steps are included: construction of GFP-tagged KLHL24 plasmid, transformation of the plasmid into 293T cells, and maintenance of low level due to KLHL24 ubiquitination. Subsequently, small molecule inhibitors are added, and if the small molecule inhibitors can restore the content of KLHL24 protein, then the increase of KLHL24 protein can be observed by fluorescence microscope.
[0157] According to the designed screening scheme, it is first necessary to determine whether KLHL24 self-ubiquitination can be used as an index for screening. The specific operation steps are as follows: GFP-KHL24 is transfected into 293T cells, and then an effective and selective NEDD8 activating enzyme (NAE) inhibitor MLN4924 (concentrations are 0.156 μM, 0.313 μM, 0.625 μM, 1.25 μM, 2.5 μM, 5 μM, and 10 μM) is added, and the expression of GFP-KLHL24 is detected by GFP fluorescence. The results are shown in Figure 2, and the expression amount of GFP-KLHL24 is very low (Figure 2a), and after the addition of MLN4924, its content is significantly increased and shows a dose-dependent manner (Figure 2b). According to the above experimental results, it can be judged that the stability of GFP-KLHL24 can be used as a screening index. It is preliminarily confirmed that the above screening scheme has high feasibility.
[0158] Secondly, before carrying out high-throughput screening, it is also necessary to evaluate the stability or repeatability of the above screening scheme. If the stability of the screening scheme is poor, the error between each group of experiments will be large, which will lead to the inability to accurately screen effective small molecule compounds, and a large proportion of false negatives will occur. In order to eliminate such errors, the usual practice is to increase repeated experiments, however, this will greatly increase the throughput of screening, and greatly increase the consumption of manpower and material resources. In order to solve this problem, a preliminary experiment is first carried out, and the specific steps are as follows: 320 small molecule compounds (purchased from Tocris) are taken, and are added to different 96-well plates, and each small molecule compound is repeated twice, and the results of the two repeated experiments are analyzed for correlation. The results are shown in Figure 3, and the correlation coefficient R of the two groups of results is equal to 0.912, which indicates that they have very strong correlation. In addition, regression analysis is performed on the two repeated experiments, and the regression function is: y = 0.8907x + 1.0135. According to the coefficient of the regression function, the two results show a positive correlation, the regression coefficient is 0.8907, and the constant is 1.0135, indicating that the two groups of data are very close (Figure 3). According to the above experimental results, the above screening method is very stable and has very good repeatability. According to this result, we will only do one repetition in high-throughput screening, which will greatly improve the screening efficiency.
[0159] Example 2: High-throughput screening of the Express-Pick diversity compound mother nucleus library of Selleck company
[0160] Small molecule compounds that can inhibit the activity of KLHL24 were screened according to the high-throughput screening method established in Example 1. A diverse compound library (Express-Pick Library, Catalog No. L3600) was selected when the screening was performed, and the compound library contained 4208 small molecule compounds. The reasons for selecting this compound library include the following points: 1) the compound library is a unique collection of compounds with different core structures, suitable for high-throughput screening; 2) the compound library is derived from one of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies; 3) the compound library can be combined with the target, which can be used to study the conformation and efficacy of the compound and improve the speed of new drug development; 4) NMR and HPLC were used to ensure the purity of the compound.
[0161] After selecting the compound library, high-throughput screening based on high content was performed. When the screening was performed, multiple negative controls (DMSO) were set in each experiment. After obtaining the original results, the number of DAPI-stained cell nuclei N was first counted, which was the total number of cells; At the same time, the number of green fluorescent cells n was counted, which was the number of GFP-KLHL24-expressing cells. When counting n, the threshold value of green fluorescence was set to adjust the green fluorescent cells as much as possible, and in addition, parameters such as cell area and cell shape can be set to reduce the influence of background. The calculation formula of the ratio of GFP-positive cells is: n / N*100%. The ratio of GFP-positive cells was standardized according to the results of the negative control, and the critical value of Fold Change was set to 2, which would greatly reduce the false positive results. At the same time, we also introduced the number of cells per well. Small molecule compounds usually have certain toxicity to cells, which can cause cell death and spontaneous fluorescence, which increases the possibility of false positives, therefore, the introduction of the number of cells per well can reduce false positives on the one hand, and can exclude small molecule compounds with high toxicity, reducing the workload of subsequent verification. In addition, we also considered the factor of cell transfection rate. According to the efficiency of the transfection reagent transfecting the plasmid, we believe that more than 80% of the proportion of GFP-positive cells is caused by small molecule spontaneous fluorescence. Considering the three variables of Fold Change value, number of cells per well, and transfection efficiency, first, the number of DAPI-stained cell nuclei was counted, and whether the compound had obvious toxicity was determined by the number of cell nuclei. In the case of no toxicity, the ratio of GFP-positive cells after compound treatment was standardized according to the results of the negative control, and the critical value of Fold Change was set to 2, and the results are shown in Figure 4. Finally, 41 compounds were screened out.
[0162] Example 3: Verification of the effect of the candidate small molecule compound screened in the preliminary screening on the degradation of KLHL24
[0163] To preliminarily verify whether the above 41 small molecule compounds can significantly affect the content of GFP-KLHL24 protein, the specific operation steps are as follows: transfect 293T cells with GFP-KLHL24, then treat with small molecule compounds, and detect the content of KLHL24 protein by Western blot. Because there are many compounds, we detect the effect on GFP-KLHL24 protein through multiple experiments. In this experiment, DMSO treatment is set as negative control and MLN4924 treatment is set as positive control, and the concentration of positive control and small molecule compounds is 10 μM. The results are shown in Figure 5, and a total of 25 small molecule compounds can increase the content of GFP-KLHL24 protein at a concentration of 10 micromole / liter.
[0164] Example 4: KLHL24 inhibitor restores Klhl24 c.3G / T The levels of KRT15 and Vimentin proteins in mice
[0165] Multiple cell experiments verified that STK731044 in 25 small molecules has the most significant activity in promoting GFP-KLHL24, and has the smallest cytotoxicity. Therefore, STK731044 was selected for subsequent animal experiments. The effect of KLHL24 ubiquitin ligase activity on mice after inhibitor treatment was evaluated, and the specific operation steps are as described in the previous adhesive tape hair experiment. The results are shown in Figure 6, compared with the negative control (i.e. control preparation treatment), KLHL24 inhibitor STK731044 treatment Klhl24 c.3G / T The anchoring ability of the back hair shaft of the mouse is enhanced, and the number of hair shafts falling off on the adhesive tape is reduced. According to the reported literature, compared with WT mice (wild type mice), Klhl24 c.3G / T The levels of KRT15 (K15) and Vimentin proteins in mice are reduced. Through further experiments, it was found that Klhl24 c.3G / T After the mouse KLHL24 inhibitor STK731044 treatment, the expression levels of KRT15 and Vimentin proteins in the skin of the mouse are increased (Figure 7). In Figure 7, GAPDH is a commonly used housekeeping gene protein, which is used as a reference protein for comparison of each sample. The above results suggest that KLHL24 inhibitors can be used as drugs for treating alopecia.
[0166] Summary: STK731044 (screening number PickP4E22) is a potential KLHL24 ubiquitin ligase inhibitor, which has good application prospect in treating diseases caused by KLHL24 mutation.
