Description

VRK1 expression inhibitor and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of biology, and particularly relates to a VRK1 expression inhibitor and application thereof.
Background
VRK1 is a multifunctional protein that is a member of the vaccinia-associated kinase (VRK) family of serine/threonine protein kinases. Most of the serine-Thr kinase, nucleosome kinase or chromatin kinase which is positioned in the nucleus and has atypical activity can directly and stably interact with different chromatin proteins, and has close relation with cell cycle entry, promotion of DNA damage repair and drug resistance; a small fraction is located at the plasma membrane and is involved in cell migration. It regulates a variety of transcription factors including SOX2, ATF2, p53 and c-Jun. Research shows that VRK1 and SOX2 form a complex to activate the expression of CCND1 and promote cell cycle process. DNA damage by ionizing radiation triggers phosphorylation of NBS1 by VRK1, thereby facilitating the DNA repair process. Doxorubicin induces the formation of a complex between VRK1 and 53BP1, thereby initiating DNA damage repair and allowing the cells to develop drug resistance. VRK1 is overexpressed on the plasma membrane and part of the PAK1-paxillin signaling complex, promoting metastasis of breast cancer cells by modulating the transcriptional repressors snail, slug and twist 1. The prior research shows that the over-expression of VRK1 can induce some diseases, and the corresponding diseases can be treated by controlling VRK1, but the research of VRK1 as a bladder cancer treatment target is still blank.
The structures of three members of the VRK family have been established with several structural differences in their kinase folding, predicting that they should be insensitive to most inhibitors currently available. The shRNA aiming at the VRK1 mRNA can inhibit the translation of the VRK1, has low toxicity and is a potential targeting intervention strategy.
Over 43 million patients are diagnosed with bladder cancer each year, of which about 16.5 will die as a result. Although the use of radical cystectomy has made great progress in survival, its 5-year survival rate is still relatively low. Recurrence and progression of postoperative tumors are major clinical events affecting the prognosis of these patients. Recent molecular profiling studies prove that in fact, a disease with high somatic mutation rate is caused, and high mutation load of expressed protein on tumor cell membranes forms multiple tumor antigens, so that an effective clinical treatment scheme is still lacked at present to thoroughly kill and eliminate tumor cells, and the finding of targets which can prompt bladder cancer prognosis indexes and can intervene multiple tumor cell behavioral characteristics at one time is very important.

The fifth aspect of this section is presented in conjunction with a detailed study
Experiment one: this example uses real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blotting to detect the expression level of VRK1 in bladder cancer and paracarcinoma.
The patients with bladder cancer had 10 pairs of fresh tissues beside and after the cancer operation. Tissue total RNA was extracted at a rate of 1ml Trizol to lyse 100mg of tissue. 1ug of total RNA was reverse transcribed into cDNA and real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction was performed to analyze the expression of mRNA from VRK1 in paracancerous and cancerous tissues. Primer: VRK1, 5'-CTTCAGAGTCAGTTGGCAGTG-3'; 5'-CTTCAGCTTACGGGTACGAAT-3', respectively; GAPDH, 5 'CAT GGG TGT GAA CCA TGA GAA GTA-3'.
Total tissue protein was extracted at a rate of 1ml of protein lysate to lyse 100mg of tissue. Protein immunoblotting experiments were performed at 100ug protein loading to analyze the expression of VRK1 protein in the paracarcinoma and cancer tissues of the bladder.
And (4) analyzing results: as shown in fig. 1, both mRNA and protein levels of VRK1 were significantly higher in bladder cancer tissue than in paracancerous tissue.
Experiment two: this example specifically inhibits expression of VRK1 gene in bladder cancer cell lines using both siRNA and shRNA interference.

shRNA-NC:5′-tCAGTCGCGTTTGCGACTGGttcaagagaCCAGTCGCAAACGCGACTGtttttggaaac-3′。
in T24 and 5637 cell lines with a fusion degree of 50% -70% in 6-well plates, each well was transfected separately (shRNA-NC, siVRK1, shVRK1-1 and shVRK 1-2). After 8h of transfection, the medium containing the complex was discarded and replaced with new medium. On the third day after transfection, cell samples were collected and analyzed for expression of VRK1 using western blot assay.
And (4) analyzing results: as shown in FIG. 2, the expression level of VRK1 protein in cells of shVRK1-1 and shVRK1-2 groups (T24, 5637) was significantly lower than that of control shRNA-NC, siVRK1 and shVRK1-1 groups. The shVRK1-1 and shVRK1-2 sequences have better inhibiting effect on the VRK1 gene than siVRK1 small interfering fragments. Indicating that of the two interference approaches, the shRNA approach is more effective than the siRNA approach.

Placing in a 5% CO2 incubator at 37 deg.C, and standing for 2-3 weeks. When macroscopic colonies appeared in the culture dish, the culture was terminated. Discarding the supernatant, carefully washing with PBS for 2 times, adding methanol for fixation for 15min, discarding methanol, adding Giemsa for dyeing for 10-30min, slowly washing off the dyeing solution with running water, standing and drying. The number of clones larger than 10 cells was counted by taking pictures under a microscope.

And the inhibition capacity of the compound against T24 cells is obviously better than that of other compounds.
Experiment four: shVRK1-2 can inhibit the metastasis and invasion of bladder cancer.

The plates were incubated for 24h in CO2 medium at 37 ℃. The chamber was removed, washed 3 times with PBS, the cells in the upper microporous membrane layer of the chamber were carefully wiped off with a cotton swab, fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 20min, stained with 0.1% crystal violet for 15min, and then air-dried. And (4) taking a picture under an inverted microscope, counting 5 fields of view at random for each sample, taking an average value, and carrying out statistical analysis.
The results show that: as shown in fig. 5, the experimental group (shVRK1-2) significantly inhibited the metastatic ability of T24 and 56373 cells, compared to the control group (shRNA-NC and experimental group (shVRK 1-1)).
② Transwell invasion experiments prove that shVRK1 can inhibit the invasion of bladder cancer.
The day before the experiment, Matrigel was placed in a refrigerator at 4 ℃ overnight from-20 ℃ in advance, and was melted from a solid state to a liquid state. Mixing matrigel with a mixture of 1: 8, coating the upper surface of a basement membrane at the bottom of the Transwell chamber after dilution, and air-drying for 3 h. The residual liquid in the culture plate was aspirated, 50ul of serum-free culture medium was added to each well, and the basement membrane was hydrated at 37 ℃ for 30 min. The log-phase T24 and 5637 bladder cancer cells transfected with shRNA-NC, shVRK1-1 and shVRK1-2 were serum-starved for 12h and then digested into single cell suspensions, adjusted to a density of 5X 105 cells/ml. 200ul of cell suspension was added to the upper chamber of the Transwell chamber. 600ul of medium containing 10% FBS was added to the lower chamber. The culture plate was placed in CO2 medium at 37 ℃ and cultured for 48 hours. The chamber was removed, washed 3 times with PBS, the cells in the upper microporous membrane layer of the chamber were carefully wiped off with a cotton swab, fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 20min, stained with 0.1% crystal violet for 15min, and then air-dried. And (4) taking a picture under an inverted microscope, counting 5 fields of view at random for each sample, taking an average value, and carrying out statistical analysis.
The results show that: as shown in fig. 6, the experimental group (shVRK1-2) significantly inhibited the invasive ability of T24 and 56373 cells, compared to the control group (shRNA-NC) and the experimental group (shVRK 1-1).
Experiment five: shVRK1-2 can inhibit bladder cancer invasion and metastasis by inhibiting epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) signaling pathway in bladder cancer cells.
In T24 and 5637 cell lines with a fusion degree of 50% -70% in 6-well plates, each well was transfected separately (shRNA-NC, siVRK1, shVRK1-1 and shVRK 1-2). After 8h of transfection, the medium containing the complex was discarded and replaced with new medium. On the third day after transfection, cell samples were collected and analyzed for the expression of representative molecules in the EMT signaling pathway, such as epithelial markers (E-cadherin), mesenchymal markers (N-cadherin, Vimentin, and Fibronectin).
The results show that: as shown in FIG. 7, the epithelial marker E-cadherin was up-regulated in the experimental group (shVRK1-1 and shVRK1-2) and highest in the shVRK1-2 group, compared to the control group (shRNA-NC); the expression of the mesenchymal markers (N-cadherin, Vimentin and Fibronectin) was all down-regulated, with shVRK1-2 group expressing the lowest. It was shown that shVRK1-2 was able to shift bladder cancer cells to an epithelial type that was less prone to metastasis and invasion. In addition, the part has verified the transformation regulation effect on the tumor cells, the regulation effect on other types of tumor cells is not repeated, and all diseases which can be prevented and treated by regulating corresponding markers are within the scope of the invention.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications may be made to the above embodiments without departing from the general spirit and concept of the invention. All falling within the scope of protection of the present invention. The protection scheme of the invention is subject to the appended claims.
