Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of biomedicine, in particular to PKM2 tetramer allosteric activation peptide and application thereof in reversing Warburg effect and chemosensitization in tumors.
Background
Renal Carcinoma (RCC) is one of the 10 most common malignancies, and is also the most lethal malignancy of the urinary system. It has the characteristics of rapid progress, easy generation of early metastasis and insensitivity to treatment means such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and is considered to be a main reason of treatment failure. More than 30% of patients with renal cancer have metastasized at the time of diagnosis and missed the best surgical opportunity. For chemotherapy, even patients who initially respond to treatment develop resistance within 10-14 months. These factors result in a high mortality rate of renal cell carcinoma, which is a serious threat to human life and health.
It has been shown that cancer metastasis and chemotherapy resistance are caused by abnormal nutrient metabolism and gene transcription. In tumor cells, the tumor cells are more prone to metabolize glucose oxidation to lactate even when oxygen is sufficient to support mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, a mode of metabolism known as the Warburg effect. Lactic acid produced by the Warburg effect is highly related to various biological functions of tumor proliferation, metastasis, angiogenesis and the like, and leads to malignant tumor progression. In addition, abnormal expression of the VHL gene of renal cancer also causes renal cancer to have a stronger Warburg effect than other tumors. Therefore, inhibition of the Warburg effect is a key strategy for kidney cancer treatment.
Pyruvate kinase M2(PKM2) is an important regulator of Warburg effect and transcriptional activation, playing a key role in tumor progression, metastasis and chemoresistance. PKM2 can interconvert between dimers and tetramers and is present in the form of dimers in a variety of cancers. The pyruvate kinase activity of the PKM2 dimer is lower than that of the tetramer, resulting in a stronger Warburg effect. Meanwhile, PKM2 tetramer is restricted in cytoplasm, and dimer can translocate to nucleus to participate in transcriptional activation, and finally chemotherapy resistance is induced. Serine, as a natural ligand for PKM2, has been shown to activate PKM2 tetramerization, but not to maintain the persistence of the allosteric effect of PKM 2. Therefore, sustained stimulation of PKM2 tetramerization is critical for tumor suppression. However, no report exists for the sustained maintenance of the PKM2 allosteric activator and the inhibition of tumor-related studies.

Experiments prove that the proliferation capacities of 786-O and ACHN of kidney cancer cells are remarkably inhibited by polypeptide PAC, wherein the migration capacities of 786-O and ACHN are inhibited by 71.9 +/-4.6 percent and 55.8 +/-3.5 percent respectively; the invasion capacity is respectively inhibited by 64.6 +/-3.5 percent and 64.7 +/-3.5 percent; meanwhile, PAC obviously inhibits the Warburg effect of tumor cells, so that the glucose consumption of 786-O cells is reduced by 49.3 +/-15%, the lactic acid yield is reduced by 64.8 +/-20.2%, and the same change is generated in ACHN cells. Finally, PAC inhibited tumor growth and metastasis in vivo experiments in mice; on the other hand, CCK-8 experiments find that PAC has obvious killing effect on sunitinib drug-resistant cell lines (786O-R) and mouse in-vivo experiments prove that PAC has inhibition effect on kidney cancer drug-resistant cells.

Claims (9)
1. A PKM2 tetramer allosteric activation peptide, characterized in that it comprises an N-acetylglucose-coated serine motif, a self-assembly motif that can form a hydrophobic nanocomplex, and a fluorescent signal motif with aggregation-induced emission function.
2. The PKM2 tetrameric allosteric activation peptide according to claim 1, characterized in that said self-assembly motif that can form a complex with hydrophobicity is derived from the KLVFF peptide-based sequence in amyloid beta.
4. use of the PKM2 tetramer allosteric activation peptide according to any one of claims 1-3 for the preparation of an anti-tumor medicament.
5. The use according to claim 4, wherein the tumor is a tumor highly expressing OGA enzyme, and the PKM2 tetrameric allosteric activation peptide has the effect of reversing the Warburg effect of the tumor.
6. The use according to claim 5, wherein the tumors comprise renal cell carcinoma, acute myeloid leukemia, cholangiocarcinoma, and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
7. The use of the PKM2 tetrameric allosteric activation peptide according to any one of claims 1-3 for the preparation of a medicament for reversing Warburg effect and chemosensitization in a tumor.
8. The use according to claim 7, wherein the tumors comprise renal cell carcinoma, acute myeloid leukemia, cholangiocarcinoma, and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
9. The use of claim 8, wherein the tumor is renal cell carcinoma.
