STAT3 micromolecular inhibitor and application thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to tumour medicine field, relate in particular to the active small molecular inhibitor of the tertiary structure design of a kind of basis signal transduction and transcription factor 3 (STAT3).
Background technology
Signal transduction and transcription factor 3(STAT3) belong to STATs family, this family has seven member STAT1-STAT7 respectively by different genes encodings, wherein STAT1, STAT3, STAT5 height homology.STATs family by cell growth factor as EGFR, IL-6, thus PDGF etc. stimulate and the growth of tyrosine phosphorylation mediated cell, differentiation, migration, the physiological functions such as apoptosis occur.Research shows, in prostate cancer, and mammary cancer, head and neck cancer, ovarian cancer, melanoma, the STAT3 of excess phosphoric acid all can be detected, and normal epithelium cell pSTAT3 level is obviously low in myelomatosis.
STAT3 is made up of four structural domains: auxiliary DNA is in conjunction with territory, DNA specific recognition territory, forms dimerization territory (SH2), transcriptional activity territory, wherein in formation dimerization structural domain, have a Tyr phosphorylation site, keying action is brought into play in this site in STAT3 dimerization process.As extracellular somatomedin or cytokine (EGF, IL-6, TNF) stimulate corresponding acceptor on film to make it dimerization, activate JAK, and recruit STAT3 monomer and make it to occur 705 phosphorylations of tyrosine, pSTAT3 monomer forms dimer by mutual identification the other side's SH2domain and strides across nuclear membrane and enters nucleus and be combined with corresponding DNA startup original paper, then start key protein (the Bcl)-Xl of the adjustment signal conduction in downstream, (Mcl-1), the transcriptional expression of cyclinD1/D2and c-Myc etc., thereby regulating cell growth, propagation, differentiation, apoptosis.But STAT3 dimerization is brought into play node effect in JAK/STAT3 signal path, and STAT3 has been used as antitumor drug target spot in 1997, therefore suppress STAT3 formation dimer and can be used as the potential method that promotes the STAT3 apoptosis of tumor cells that contains excess activation, thus the one strategy of the tumour of the STAT3 that contains excess activation as treatment.
At present, the inhibitor for STAT3 with report can be divided into following several: phosphated peptide section, phosphated peptide section analogue (pTyr-Xxx-Xxx-Gln), non-phosphorylating small molecules (Stattic, STA-21, S31-201, BP-1-102), oligonucleotide (5 '-CATTTCCCGTAAATC-3 ' and3 '-GTAAAGGGCATTTAC-3 '), kinase inhibitor.But, peptide inhibitor cell permeability is poor, easily metabolism, biological utilisation rate variance, kinase inhibitor can not suppress downstream STAT3 pathway activity completely, but not the micromolecular inhibitor of peptide section suppresses active limited and at present also not for the clinical medicine of go up of STAT3, therefore, develop new optionally and there is highly active STAT3 inhibitor one side to have huge challenge be also a major opportunity of capturing tumour on the other hand.
Summary of the invention

The competitive experiment of embodiment 3. detects STAT3 micromolecular inhibitor activity
This experiment detects the avidity of micromolecular compound to STAT3 by fluorescence polarization (FP) method, by micromolecular compound competition fluorescence peptide section FITC-pYLPQTV-NH2 and STAT3 protein binding, Ac-pYLPQTV-NH2 contrasts as strong positive, the weak positive control of Ac-YLPQTV-NH2, Ac-pYLKTKF negative control.Can make the polarized light that fluorophor produces increase when STAT3 albumen and fluorescence peptide section mutually combine, and add these peptide sections in contrast can compete fluorescence peptide section and STAT3 protein binding, make polarization value reduction.Testing STAT3 concentration used is 5uM, and FITC-pYLPQTV-NH2 concentration is 1nM.Experiment grouping: negative control is STAT3 albumen and FITC-pYLPQTV-NH2; Positive control is STAT3 albumen, FITC-pYLPQTV-NH2, and the peptide section of each different activities grade; Sample sets is STAT3 albumen, FITC-pYLPQTV-NH2, and micromolecular compound.Micromolecular compound or positive peptide section are carried out to gradient dilution in 96 orifice plates of corning nbs3995#, then the mixture of STAT3 albumen and FITC-pYLPQTV-NH2 is added in each hole, lucifuge, on shaker, mix 3 hours until reaction reaches balance, use Biotek reader to measure, excitation wavelength is 485nm, and wavelength of transmitted light is 525nm, reads fluorescence polarization value.
Use Graph pad primz5 software processes fluorescence polarization value, analyze the IC that obtains each micromolecular compound by robust fit
50value, the IC of 1-177
50for 8.972uM, the IC of 1-078
50for 16.05uM, as shown in Figure 1.
The growth Survival Effects of embodiment 4. these series compounds to cancer cell
Test by FP, this series compound in vitro molecular level has higher affinity to STAT3, next verifies whether this series compound has growth inhibitory effect to the breast cancer cell of overexpression STAT3.Use Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) to detect the growth effect of K series compound to DU145, in 96 orifice plates, plant cell, 10000Cells/well, after 24h, add K series compound by presetting concentration, then 24h adds 10uL cck-8/well, 37 DEG C, 4h, use BioTek reader to measure the light absorption value at 450nm place, K series compound to the growth-inhibiting of DU145 as Fig. 2, although 1-078 IC in competitive assay in vitro
50for 16.05uM but its water-soluble and permeable membrane with respect to 1-177 slightly a little less than, the IC of 1-177 and 1-078
50respectively 25.42uM, 222.5uM.Therefore function below and Mechanism Study are mainly for 1-177.
Embodiment 5.Western Blot detects the retarding effect of 1-177 to pSTAT3 in MDA-MB-468 cell
MDA-MB-468 cell is processed after 2 hours at 1-177 different concns, with IL-6 (10ng/ul) stimulation, after 24 hours, receives cell, then use the method for western blot and the p-STAT3 of CST company, STAT3, p-AKT, AKT, P-Src, Src antibody detects.As shown in Figure 3, use respectively DMSO and 0uM, 10uM, the 1-177 of 30uM processes cell, and after 10uM processes, p-STAT3 and p-AKT obviously reduce, and after 30uM processes, p-STAT3 and p-AKT band are very weak, are 0 substantially.Therefore illustrate that K116 has obvious inhibition to STAT3 phosphorylation, the kinases P-Src of STAT3 upstream is not affected simultaneously.
The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention; it should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, under the premise without departing from the principles of the invention; can also make some improvements and modifications, these improvements and modifications also should be considered as protection scope of the present invention.
