Description

Polypeptide and tumor targeting peptide thereof, tumor detection reagent, tumor surgery navigation contrast medium and tumor targeting drug

Technical Field

The invention belongs to the field of biological medicines, and particularly relates to a polypeptide, a tumor targeting peptide thereof, a tumor detection reagent, a tumor surgery navigation contrast medium and a tumor targeting medicine.

Background

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of common malignant tumors in China, and has the characteristics of high morbidity and high mortality. The malignancy of liver cancer is high, the development is rapid, once obvious symptoms appear, about 1/3 belongs to the late stage, the average survival time is about half a year, and therefore, the early diagnosis of liver cancer has great influence on the prognosis of patients. At present, there are many clinical examination methods for liver cancer, including traditional imaging examination methods such as ultrasound, CT, nuclear magnetic resonance, etc., which mainly rely on nonspecific imaging means to analyze different tissue physical characteristics, so as to examine the disease. Although the resolution of the images obtained is increasing with the development of imaging technology, there are still deficiencies in sensitivity and specificity, so that the best opportunity for treatment is often missed when detecting lesions. The molecular imaging integrating biochemistry, nanotechnology and imaging technology has great significance for tumor detection. In particular, the PET-CT technique can detect the extrahepatic metastasis of liver cancer well, but the effect of detecting primary liver cancer is not ideal. The reason for this is that because the liver itself is active in glycometabolism, 18-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG), which is a probe molecule used in PET-CT, is also absorbed in normal liver tissues, resulting in high background noise. More importantly, the liver is a detoxifying organ of a human body, and liver cells can be combined with various substances, so that the application of a plurality of molecular imaging probes in liver cancer detection is limited. Therefore, the development of a molecular probe with high specificity and high sensitivity is urgently needed for liver cancer detection.

Some liver cancer patients can obtain better prognosis through surgical resection, but accurate positioning of tumor boundaries is a difficult problem which always troubles clinicians and researchers. The fluorescence operation system guided by the contrast molecules with tumor affinity can display the shape and the edge of the tumor under the excitation of fluorescence, provide an operation boundary for surgeons and enable the complete excision of the tumor to be possible. However, indocyanine green (ICG), the only FDA-approved contrast agent for surgical navigation of liver cancer, is insufficient in sensitivity and specificity and is difficult to satisfy clinical needs.

(4) The targeting comparison of Va-RS, P47 and NC peptides in a mouse model of liver cancer subcutaneous tumor is verified in the section. The specific experimental operations were as follows: injecting 0.5mg of carboxyfluorescein (FAM) labeled P47 and Va-RS and a control polypeptide NC polypeptide (DQDIEAKNGVIS, SEQ ID NO.13) which is reported not to have tumor targeting property into the tail of each mouse, labeling the carboxyfluorescein (FAM) at the N end of the polypeptide, taking out the brain (B), the quadriceps femoris (Q), the lung (Lu), the spleen (S), the kidney (K), the heart (H), the liver (Li) and the subcutaneous tumor (Tu) after injecting for two hours, and carrying out imaging observation on the small animals; the observation results are shown in fig. 4: in the subcutaneous tumor model, targeting of Va-RS (tumor-liver ratio 23.4) was significantly stronger than that of P47(tumor-liver ratio 5.2).

The invention injects FAM labeled variant peptide RS and targeting peptide P47 into a model mouse, and the specific operation is as follows: tail vein injecting P47 and Va-RS polypeptide labeled by 0.5mg carboxyfluorescein (FAM) which is labeled at the N end of the polypeptide; two hours after injection, brain (B), quadriceps femoris (Q), lung (Lu), spleen (S), kidney (K), heart (H) and liver (Li) were taken for small animal imaging observation and analysis, and the results showed that as shown in FIG. 6, Va-RS and P47 all indicated the location of liver cancer lung metastasis, and the fluorescence distribution of polypeptide Va-RS completely coincided with that of tumor, while the tumor-liver ratio of Va-RS (9.4) was significantly better than that of P47 (2.6).

(7) The invention detects the detection capability of Va-RS to lung metastasis focus, and the specific operation is as follows: injecting tail vein of liver cancer cell into mouse to obtain liver cancer lung transfer mouse. The brain (B), quadriceps femoris (Q), lung (Lu), spleen (S), kidney (K), heart (H) and liver (Li) were then taken two hours after tail vein injection of 0.5mg carboxyfluorescein (FAM) -labeled Va-RS polypeptide, and the results of small animal imaging observations showed that the Va-RS polypeptide could indicate lung metastasis with a diameter of only 0.3mm, as shown in FIG. 7.

(8) In order to detect the indication effect of the variant peptide Va-RS on different tumors, the invention establishes a model mouse loaded with breast cancer (4T1), pancreatic cancer (panc02), liver cancer (Hepa1-6) and intestinal cancer (MC38) subcutaneous tumors at the same time, the establishment method can refer to the acquisition of a 'liver cancer lung metastasis mouse' in the part (7), then Va-RS is injected, and the specific operation can refer to the corresponding part in the part (7). The results showed that Va-RS was taken up in 4 different tumor sources (tumor-liver ratio was above 20) (FIG. 8).

(9) The invention also establishes a subcutaneous tumor model mouse simultaneously loading human liver cell cancer (LM3), breast cancer (MDA-MB-231), lung cancer (A549) and cervical cancer (Hela), and then injecting Va-RS, and similarly, the specific operation can refer to the part (7). The results show that Va-RS is taken up in 4 different tumor sources. Tumor tissues except breast cancer, each tumor had a tumor ratio of 20 or more (FIG. 9).

(10) In order to detect the clinical availability of the variant peptide RS, the invention soaks the tumor, normal organ contrast and tumor boundary tissue of liver cancer and intestinal cancer patients in FAM fluorescence labeled variant peptide Va-RS, P47 and NC solution respectively, and carries out fluorescence imaging detection after rinsing. The specific operation is as follows: liver cancer, intestinal cancer and tissues beside the cancer of clinical patients are soaked in 10uM FAM marked Va-RS, P47 and NC solution for 30 minutes, and then the residual FAM marked polypeptide is removed by PBS rinsing. The patient tissue is then photographed using a small animal imager. The results show that the variant peptides Va-RS can accurately indicate the borders of liver cancer, as shown in figure 10, and are not ingested in the heterogeneous liver disease context of patients. In liver cancer, the tumor-liver ratio of the variant peptide RS can reach 21.6, and in intestinal cancer can reach 10.7.

(11) In order to test the capacity of the variant peptide RS carrying the drug to target the tumor, the invention connects the targeting peptide RS with an exosome loaded with adriamycin, and tests the distribution of the exosome after targeted modification in a tumor-bearing mouse. The specific operation is as follows: incubating DC cells and adriamycin (Dox), simultaneously stimulating the DC cells to secrete an exosome containing adriamycin by ultraviolet irradiation, collecting the exosome carrying the adriamycin by ultracentrifugation, and then using an exosome anchoring peptide CP05 described in a patent 201510520565.7 with independent intellectual property rights in the laboratory to load a targeting peptide RS on the surface of the exosome, thereby obtaining the exosome carrying the adriamycin and modified by the RS targeting. Injecting free adriamycin, an adriamycin-loaded exosome and an RS targeting modified adriamycin-loaded exosome into a mouse body respectively through tail veins, and observing the distribution of adriamycin fluorescence in each tissue of the mouse by using animal imaging.

The advantages of using exosomes to load doxorubicin in this section are: the exosome is a natural biological nano material and has small immunogenicity. ② the medicine is slow-released, and the duration of the medicine effect is long. And thirdly, the exosome can directly send the medicine into the cell through the endocytosis fusion effect, so that the adverse reaction is reduced by using high-concentration free medicine. Fourthly, the capillary wall of the normal tissue is complete, most of the exosomes cannot permeate, the permeability of the capillary vessel of the tumor growth part is increased, the aggregation amount of the exosome adriamycin is increased, and the exosome adriamycin is directly applied to the tumor part, so that the treatment effect is improved.

The results show (fig. 11) that uptake of the loaded drug in the tumor was significantly increased after RS-targeted modification. (12) To evaluate RS-EXO_DoxThe invention injects free Dox and EXO in a liver cancer subcutaneous tumor model according to a dose of Dox (adriamycin) of 1.5mg/kg (HPLC quantitative) every other day system_DoxAnd RS-EXO_DoxPBS was injected as a blank control for two consecutive weeks of treatment. The specific operation is as follows: free Dox and EXO were injected every other day at a dose of 1.5mg/kg Dox (HPLC quantitation) in the hepatoma model_DoxAnd RS-EXO_DoxThe treatment is continued for two weeks, the tumor growth curve is recorded during the treatment process, and the tumor is picked up and photographed after one week of treatment. The results show that: 1 week after the end of treatment, RS-EXO_DoxThe treated mice still survived and were in good condition, and the volume of the hepatoma subcutaneous tumor was significantly smaller than that of free Dox and EXO_DoxTreatment group (fig. 12).

(13) This section continues the experimental work of section (12) aboveAs a week after the end of the treatment, tumors were harvested and paraffin embedded, sectioned and HE stained. Meanwhile, the TUNEL apoptosis staining kit is adopted to analyze the apoptosis condition of the tumor cells, and the green area is an apoptosis staining area. The results are shown in FIG. 13, and the pathological analysis of the tumor tissues in each group showed that RS-EXO_DoxThe tumor cells become round and small, the cell nucleus shrinks and the cell gap increases. And PBS, free Dox and EXO_DoxThe group of tumor cells still substantially maintained a relatively normal growth state. TUNEL apoptosis staining results show RS-EXO_DoxThe group tumors showed more apoptotic regions (green fluorescence signal) with loosely arranged cells, while other various tumor tissues showed less apoptotic regions.

(14) In order to test the ability of the variant peptide RS carrying nucleic acid drug to target tumor, the invention covalently connects the targeting peptide RS and the antisense oligonucleotide (SuraS) of the Survivin gene to obtain RS-SuraS, and injects the NC peptide marked by FAM, RS-SuraS and SuraS into the tumor-bearing mouse body by the mode of intravenous injection, and tests the distribution of the RS-SuraS after targeted modification in the tumor-bearing mouse. The imaging results of the small animals show that after the coupling of the liver cancer targeting peptide RS, the aggregation of the fluorescent-labeled SurAS in the tumor tissues is obviously enhanced (FIG. 14).

(15) In order to test whether RS peptide can be modified by other polypeptide to further improve the targeting effect, the invention leads RS and P47 to be embedded with polypeptide RGD-NGR (with the sequence of ARYCRGDCFDALNGREE, SEQ ID NO.7), 0.5mg of carboxyl Fluorescein (FAM) labeled P47(SQDIRTWNGTRS, SEQ ID NO.14), RGD-NGR-P47(ARYCRGDCFDALNGREESQDIRTWNGTRS, SEQ ID NO.15), Va-RS (CGRCKCCNGERS, SEQ ID NO.3) and RGD-NGR-RS (ARYCRGDCFDALNGREECGRCKCCNGERS, SEQ ID NO.16) are injected into the tail vein of each mouse, carboxyl Fluorescein (FAM) is labeled at the N end of the polypeptide, and brain (B), quadriceps (Q), lung (Lu), spleen (S), kidney (K), heart (H), liver (Li) and subcutaneous tumor (Tu) are taken for small animal imaging observation after two hours of injection; Tumor-Liver ratio shows the ratio of Tumor fluorescence intensity to Liver fluorescence intensity (i.e. signal-to-noise ratio), and the results show that the targeting ability of RS and P47 is improved after the RGD-NGR is embedded, and the improvement range is about two times. The final tumor-lift ratio of RGD-NGR-RS can reach 55.5 (FIG. 15).

The solvent of the polypeptide injection in all the above experimental examples (1) to (15) of the present invention is PBS, and the concentration of the carboxyfluorescein (FAM) -labeled polypeptide in the solvent is 5 mg/ml.
