Description

一种用作靶蛋白降解剂的双功能化合物及其在靶蛋白溶酶体降解中的应用A bifunctional compound used as a target protein degrader and its application in lysosomal degradation of target protein 技术领域Technical Field
本发明属于医药技术领域,具体涉及一种用作靶蛋白降解剂的双功能化合物及其在靶蛋白溶酶体降解中的应用。The invention belongs to the field of medical technology, and specifically relates to a bifunctional compound used as a target protein degradation agent and application of the compound in lysosomal degradation of the target protein.
背景技术Background technique
近年来开发的靶向蛋白降解(TPD)技术是一项特异性地识别靶蛋白(目标蛋白),并利用细胞内固有的蛋白质降解途径直接降解靶蛋白的新技术。目前,TPD领域发展出了PROTAC、分子胶、降解标签、溶酶体靶向嵌合体、自噬小体绑定化合物等技术,大大拓展了可降解的靶蛋白的范围。靶向蛋白质降解(TPD)目前主要通过泛素-蛋白酶体和溶酶体途径来进行,根据具体作用原理又可细分为近9个不同技术路线,其中,通过泛素蛋白酶体降解的技术包括PROTAC技术和分子胶技术;通过溶酶体降解靶蛋白的技术包括LYTAC技术、双特异性核酸适体技术、GlueTAC技术、AUTAC技术、ATTEC技术、AUTOTAC技术和CMA技术。The targeted protein degradation (TPD) technology developed in recent years is a new technology that specifically identifies target proteins (target proteins) and directly degrades target proteins by utilizing the intrinsic protein degradation pathways in cells. At present, the TPD field has developed technologies such as PROTAC, molecular glue, degradation tags, lysosomal targeting chimeras, and autophagosome binding compounds, which have greatly expanded the range of degradable target proteins. Targeted protein degradation (TPD) is currently mainly carried out through the ubiquitin-proteasome and lysosomal pathways. According to the specific principles of action, it can be subdivided into nearly 9 different technical routes. Among them, the technologies for degradation through ubiquitin proteasomes include PROTAC technology and molecular glue technology; the technologies for degradation of target proteins through lysosomes include LYTAC technology, bispecific nucleic acid aptamer technology, GlueTAC technology, AUTAC technology, ATTEC technology, AUTOTAC technology, and CMA technology.
PROTAC技术在TPD技术中发展最快、应用最广,PROTACs能够与靶蛋白和E3连接酶之间形成三元复合物,诱导靶蛋白泛素化,随后被蛋白酶体降解。但是泛素-蛋白酶体***(UPS)降解蛋白质的机制决定PROTACs的特点是降解细胞内的目标蛋白(POI),而难以降解细胞外与细胞膜上的靶蛋白。分子胶技术无法像PROTAC那样通过对各组分的大规模筛选来获得,设计困难。PROTAC technology is the fastest growing and most widely used technology in TPD. PROTACs can form a ternary complex between the target protein and the E3 ligase, induce ubiquitination of the target protein, and then be degraded by the proteasome. However, the mechanism of protein degradation by the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) determines that the characteristic of PROTACs is to degrade the target protein (POI) inside the cell, but it is difficult to degrade the target protein outside the cell and on the cell membrane. Molecular glue technology cannot be obtained through large-scale screening of each component like PROTAC, and it is difficult to design.
LYTAC技术分子中的抗体或寡糖存在较强免疫原性、寡糖与抗体偶联时剂量比与连接位点不确定、糖肽链为高分子混合物、体内清除率较高;双特异性核酸适体技术递送效率差,体内不稳定;GlueTAC技术存在非天然氨基酸的纳米抗体与靶蛋白的共价结合安全性有待评估,体内半衰期短;AUTAC技术降解速度较慢;ATTEC技术难以合理设计,发现成本高,对细胞整体自噬是否有影响未知;AUTOTAC技术降解速度慢;CMA技术稳定性与输送效率有待提高。The antibodies or oligosaccharides in the LYTAC technology molecules have strong immunogenicity, the dose ratio and connection site are uncertain when the oligosaccharides are coupled to the antibodies, the glycopeptide chains are high molecular weight mixtures, and the in vivo clearance rate is high; the bispecific nucleic acid aptamer technology has poor delivery efficiency and is unstable in vivo; the GlueTAC technology has non-natural amino acids, the safety of the covalent binding of nano-antibodies to target proteins needs to be evaluated, and the in vivo half-life is short; the AUTAC technology degrades slowly; the ATTEC technology is difficult to design rationally, the discovery cost is high, and it is unknown whether it has an impact on the overall autophagy of cells; the AUTOTAC technology degrades slowly; the stability and delivery efficiency of the CMA technology need to be improved.
基于以上现有技术中存在的问题,本发明提供一种用作靶蛋白降解剂的双功能化合物及其在靶蛋白溶酶体降解中的应用。Based on the above problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a bifunctional compound used as a target protein degrading agent and its application in lysosomal degradation of the target protein.

具体实施方式Detailed ways
为了使本发明的上述目的、特征和优点能够更加明显易懂,下面结合附图对本发明的具体实施方式做详细的说明,但不能理解为对本发明的可实施范围的限定。In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the specific implementation modes of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but they should not be construed as limiting the applicable scope of the present invention.
溶酶体通过内吞、吞噬和自噬作用介导蛋白和细胞器的降解。随着对内体-溶酶体和自噬体-溶酶体降解途径的深入研究,近年来不断有通过溶酶体途径的TPD技术被开发出来,如LYTAC、AbTAC、ATTEC、AUTAC、AUTOTAC等。相比基于泛素-蛋白酶体机制的TPD,基于溶酶体的TPD不仅可以降解胞内蛋白,还可以降解蛋白聚集体、损伤的细胞器以及细胞外蛋白,在应用场景上有更广泛的潜力。细胞外蛋白和膜蛋白占编码蛋白的40%,并且与神经退行性疾病、自身免疫性疾病和癌症密切相关。为了降解此类蛋白,研究者开发了溶酶体靶向嵌合体(Lysosome-targeting chimaeras,LYTAC),通过在靶蛋白与溶酶体转运蛋白(LTR)之间建立桥梁,从而诱导细胞外和膜蛋白通过内体-溶酶体途径降解。此外,双特异性核酸适体嵌合体(Bispecific aptamer chimera)和LYTAC类似,也通过内体-溶酶体途径介导目标蛋白降解,其由两个分别靶向目标蛋白和LTR的核酸适体偶联得到,也是通过与LTR及目标蛋 白形成三元复合物,促使目标蛋白的内吞与溶酶体降解。基于抗体的PROTAC(Antibody-based PROTAC,AbTAC)也是通过内体-溶酶体途径诱导胞外蛋白和膜蛋白的降解。AbTAC本质上是一个重组的双特异性抗体,一端靶向细胞表面的目标蛋白,另一端靶向跨膜的E3连接酶,相对LYTAC,AbTAC能降低嵌合体分子的免疫原性,但其是否可以回收再利用等具体机制还有待研究。基于共价抗体的PROTAC(Covalent Nanobody-BasedPROTAC,GlueTAC)由可共价结合目标蛋白的纳米抗体与穿膜肽-溶酶体分选肽组成,GlueTAC共价结合目标蛋白后在穿膜肽-溶酶体分选肽的作用下,通过网格蛋白介导的内吞将目标蛋白运送到溶酶体并降解。GlueTAC分子虽然表现出较强的降解能力,但纳米抗体中引入了非天然氨基酸并与目标蛋白形成共价键,还需要仔细评估这一改造对靶细胞和非靶细胞的毒性。在以上技术中,用于识别细胞膜上目标蛋白的部分为抗体、纳米抗体或核酸适体嵌合体,可能存在免疫原性以及对稳定性的问题。目前,使用结构单一的双功能化合物介导细胞膜蛋白降解的策略还未见报道。Lysosomes mediate the degradation of proteins and organelles through endocytosis, phagocytosis, and autophagy. With the in-depth study of the endosomal-lysosomal and autophagosome-lysosomal degradation pathways, TPD technologies through the lysosomal pathway have been continuously developed in recent years, such as LYTAC, AbTAC, ATTEC, AUTAC, AUTOTAC, etc. Compared with TPD based on the ubiquitin-proteasome mechanism, lysosome-based TPD can not only degrade intracellular proteins, but also protein aggregates, damaged organelles, and extracellular proteins, and has a wider potential in application scenarios. Extracellular proteins and membrane proteins account for 40% of the encoded proteins and are closely related to neurodegenerative diseases, autoimmune diseases, and cancer. In order to degrade such proteins, researchers have developed lysosome-targeting chimaeras (LYTAC), which induces the degradation of extracellular and membrane proteins through the endosomal-lysosomal pathway by establishing a bridge between the target protein and the lysosomal transporter (LTR). In addition, bispecific aptamer chimera is similar to LYTAC and also mediates the degradation of target proteins through the endosomal-lysosomal pathway. It is obtained by coupling two aptamers that target the target protein and LTR respectively. It also promotes the endocytosis and lysosomal degradation of the target protein by forming a ternary complex with LTR and the target protein. Antibody-based PROTAC (AbTAC) also induces the degradation of extracellular and membrane proteins through the endosomal-lysosomal pathway. AbTAC is essentially a recombinant bispecific antibody, one end of which targets the target protein on the cell surface and the other end targets the transmembrane E3 ligase. Compared with LYTAC, AbTAC can reduce the immunogenicity of the chimeric molecule, but the specific mechanism such as whether it can be recycled and reused remains to be studied. Covalent antibody-based PROTAC (Covalent Nanobody-Based PROTAC, GlueTAC) consists of a nanobody that can covalently bind to the target protein and a membrane-penetrating peptide-lysosomal sorting peptide. After GlueTAC covalently binds to the target protein, under the action of the membrane-penetrating peptide-lysosomal sorting peptide, the target protein is transported to the lysosome and degraded through clathrin-mediated endocytosis. Although the GlueTAC molecule exhibits strong degradation ability, non-natural amino acids are introduced into the nanobody and form covalent bonds with the target protein. The toxicity of this modification to target cells and non-target cells needs to be carefully evaluated. In the above technologies, the part used to recognize the target protein on the cell membrane is an antibody, a nanobody or a nucleic acid aptamer chimera, which may have problems with immunogenicity and stability. At present, the strategy of using a single structural bifunctional compound to mediate the degradation of cell membrane proteins has not been reported.
作为溶酶体转运蛋白,6-磷酸甘露糖/IGF-II受体(M6P/IGFIIR)和唾液糖蛋白受体(ASGPR)被证明可以有效地诱导分泌蛋白或膜蛋白到溶酶体进行降解。除M6P/IGFIIR和ASGPR外,受体-配体介导的递送***涉及其它细胞表面受体,如转铁蛋白受体、叶酸受体和整合素等,它们也有能力通过受体介导的内吞作用将荧光团、药物或纳米材料递送到细胞中。在此,我们重点关注整合素,它是表达在细胞表面的细胞粘附受体,在细胞-基质相互作用中发挥重要作用。由于整合素α vβ 3在实体肿瘤血管、增殖肿瘤内皮细胞和各种肿瘤细胞中过表达,在肿瘤靶向治疗中得到了广泛的关注。然而,虽然α vβ 3整合素识别基序Arg-Gly-Asp(RGD)序列已经被广泛用于将各种治疗药物传递到肿瘤中,但在我们的工作之前,RGD-整合素介导的TPD的可能性尚未被研究。 As lysosomal transporters, 6-phosphate mannose/IGF-II receptor (M6P/IGFIIR) and asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR) have been shown to effectively induce secretory or membrane proteins to lysosomes for degradation. In addition to M6P/IGFIIR and ASGPR, receptor-ligand mediated delivery systems involve other cell surface receptors, such as transferrin receptor, folate receptor, and integrin, which also have the ability to deliver fluorophores, drugs, or nanomaterials into cells via receptor-mediated endocytosis. Here, we focus on integrins, which are cell adhesion receptors expressed on the cell surface and play an important role in cell-matrix interactions. Integrin α v β 3 has received extensive attention in tumor targeted therapy due to its overexpression in solid tumor blood vessels, proliferating tumor endothelial cells, and various tumor cells. However, although the α v β 3 integrin recognition motif Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) sequence has been widely used to deliver various therapeutic drugs into tumors, the possibility of RGD-integrin-mediated TPD has not been investigated before our work.

实施例2 为实施例1制备的BMS-L3 1-Azide化合物的应用例,筛选、评价BMS-L3 1-RGD化合物在体外降解膜蛋白PD-L1的性能 Example 2 is an application example of the BMS-L3 1 -Azide compound prepared in Example 1, screening and evaluating the performance of the BMS-L3 1 -RGD compound in degrading the membrane protein PD-L1 in vitro
免疫荧光法:将盖玻片上的细胞在PBS中洗涤2次,用4%PFA固定15分钟,用PBS(10mM,pH 7.4)漂洗3次,每次5分钟。如果有必要观察细胞内PD-L1的变化,则需要额外的0.10%Triton X-100在室温下与细胞共孵育15分钟。然后,用3%BSA封闭细胞30分钟,然后在室温下分别与指定的一抗和二抗孵育2小时和1小时。在此步骤之后,在黑暗 中用DAPI C1005对细胞核染色15分钟。然后用PBS(10mM,pH 7.4)洗涤细胞三次,每次5分钟。荧光图像由Leica STELLARIS 5共焦荧光显微镜成像。Immunofluorescence: The cells on the coverslips were washed twice in PBS, fixed with 4% PFA for 15 minutes, and rinsed three times with PBS (10mM, pH 7.4) for 5 minutes each time. If it is necessary to observe the changes of intracellular PD-L1, additional 0.10% Triton X-100 is required to incubate with the cells for 15 minutes at room temperature. Then, the cells were blocked with 3% BSA for 30 minutes and then incubated with the designated primary and secondary antibodies for 2 hours and 1 hour at room temperature, respectively. After this step, the nuclei were stained with DAPI C1005 for 15 minutes in the dark. The cells were then washed three times with PBS (10mM, pH 7.4) for 5 minutes each time. Fluorescence images were imaged by a Leica STELLARIS 5 confocal fluorescence microscope.
膜蛋白PD-L1降解试验的免疫荧光分析。稳定表达PD-L1的Hela细胞在24孔室的盖玻片中孵育至约40%至50%的融合度。用培养基将cRGD、BMS-8、BMS-8+cRGD和BMS-L3 1-RGD分别稀释至25nM,加入24孔板,在37℃下培养8h。以免疫荧光法对细胞进行处理,采用激光共聚焦成像。 Immunofluorescence analysis of membrane protein PD-L1 degradation assay. Hela cells stably expressing PD-L1 were incubated in coverslips in 24-well chambers to a confluency of approximately 40% to 50%. cRGD, BMS-8, BMS-8+cRGD, and BMS-L3 1 -RGD were diluted to 25 nM in culture medium, added to 24-well plates, and incubated at 37°C for 8 h. Cells were processed by immunofluorescence and imaged using confocal laser scanning.
通过与cRGD阻断α vβ 3整合素,竞争性抑制BMS-L3 1-RGD介导的PD-L1降解。稳定表达PD-L1的Hela细胞在24孔室的盖玻片中孵育至约40%至50%的融合度。24孔板中加入高浓度(5μM)的cRGD,4℃培养1h,孔中加入BMS-L3 1-RGD,37℃培养8h。其余步骤按照上述免疫荧光法进行。 Competitive inhibition of BMS-L3 1 -RGD-mediated PD-L1 degradation by blocking α v β 3 integrin with cRGD. Hela cells stably expressing PD-L1 were incubated in coverslips in 24-well chambers to a confluence of about 40% to 50%. High concentration (5 μM) of cRGD was added to the 24-well plate and cultured at 4°C for 1 h, and BMS-L3 1 -RGD was added to the wells and cultured at 37°C for 8 h. The remaining steps were performed according to the above-mentioned immunofluorescence method.
免疫印迹实验分析PD-L1水平。MDA-MB-231细胞在6孔细胞板中培养,密度为70-80%。为确定BMS-L3 1-RGD的最佳浓度,用DMEM稀释至5、25、50、100nM,并与细胞共孵育8h。对于不同的时间梯度,将BMS-L3 1-RGD稀释至25nM,并在不同的时间(0、4、8、12、24小时)加入到细胞中。为了筛选不同连接子的BMS-L3 1-RGD、BMS-L3 2-RGD、BMS-L3 3-RGD,我们用DMEM将其稀释至25nM和50nM,并与细胞共孵育8h。 Immunoblotting assay to analyze PD-L1 levels. MDA-MB-231 cells were cultured in 6-well cell plates at a density of 70-80%. To determine the optimal concentration of BMS-L3 1 -RGD, it was diluted to 5, 25, 50, 100 nM with DMEM and incubated with cells for 8 h. For different time gradients, BMS-L3 1 -RGD was diluted to 25 nM and added to the cells at different times (0, 4, 8, 12, 24 hours). In order to screen BMS-L3 1 -RGD, BMS-L3 2 -RGD, and BMS-L3 3 -RGD of different linkers, we diluted them to 25 nM and 50 nM with DMEM and incubated them with cells for 8 h.
在验证降解途径时,在一个孔中,先用bafilomycin A1(100nM)预处理细胞2h,然后加入BMS-L3 1-RGD,并在37℃下再培养细胞8h。在另一个孔中,细胞中加入MG132(5μM)和BMS-L3 1-RGD,细胞在37℃下培养8h。培养结束后,用冷却的PBS洗涤细胞2-3次,用细胞刮刀刮取。450g离心5min后,将120μL CSK缓冲液(20mM HEPES-NaOH,pH=7.5,40mM氯化钠,300mM蔗糖,1mM蛋白酶抑制剂)加入细胞沉淀中,混合物冰敷20min。用胰岛素注射器重复吹气45次,15000rpm离心40min后,上清液为细胞质成分,沉淀部分为细胞膜成分。将这两种成分加入含有蛋白酶抑制剂SDS(1mM)的120μL SDS裂解缓冲液,冰敷30min,然后加入上样缓冲液(5×),煮沸20min。最后,对样品进行免疫印迹分析。检测结果显示在图8下方的中间,其中加入溶酶体抑制剂bafilomycin A1能够减弱BMS-L3 1-RGD对PD-L1蛋白的降解效果,而加入蛋白酶体抑制剂MG132并不影响BMS-L3 1-RGD对PD-L1蛋白的降解,这一实验表明BMS-L3 1-RGD是通过溶酶体途径而非蛋白酶体途径来降解PD-L1蛋白的。 When verifying the degradation pathway, in one well, cells were pretreated with bafilomycin A1 (100 nM) for 2 h, then BMS-L3 1 -RGD was added, and the cells were cultured at 37 °C for another 8 h. In another well, MG132 (5 μM) and BMS-L3 1 -RGD were added to the cells, and the cells were cultured at 37 °C for 8 h. After the culture, the cells were washed 2-3 times with cooled PBS and scraped with a cell scraper. After centrifugation at 450 g for 5 min, 120 μL CSK buffer (20 mM HEPES-NaOH, pH = 7.5, 40 mM sodium chloride, 300 mM sucrose, 1 mM protease inhibitor) was added to the cell pellet, and the mixture was iced for 20 min. After repeated blowing with an insulin syringe for 45 times and centrifugation at 15000 rpm for 40 min, the supernatant was the cytoplasmic component and the precipitate was the cell membrane component. The two components were added to 120 μL SDS lysis buffer containing the protease inhibitor SDS (1 mM), placed on ice for 30 min, and then the loading buffer (5×) was added and boiled for 20 min. Finally, the samples were analyzed by immunoblotting. The test results are shown in the middle of the lower part of Figure 8, where the addition of the lysosomal inhibitor bafilomycin A1 can weaken the degradation effect of BMS-L3 1 -RGD on PD-L1 protein, while the addition of the proteasome inhibitor MG132 does not affect the degradation of PD-L1 protein by BMS-L3 1 -RGD. This experiment shows that BMS-L3 1 -RGD degrades PD-L1 protein through the lysosomal pathway rather than the proteasome pathway.
在竞争实验中,将cRGD(5μM)与细胞在4℃下共孵育1小时,然后加入BMS-L3 1-RGD,细胞在37℃下再培养8小时,然后细胞经两次冷PBS洗涤,加入后150-200μL SDS裂解缓冲液(含有蛋白酶抑制剂1μM)用14000rpm转速离心5min,蛋白质样品煮20min,然后煮SDS-PAGE样品加载缓冲液(5x)10min。蛋白质样品用10%十二烷基硫酸钠聚丙烯酰胺凝 胶(SDS-PAGE)进行电泳,转移到0.45μm聚偏氟乙烯(PVDF)膜(微孔)。然后,用5%脱脂奶粉在PBST缓冲液(PBS+0.1%吐温-20)中,在室温下轻微摇晃,封闭膜2小时。膜分别与一抗(PD-L1抗体、细胞信号技术(CST)、兔源,1:1000;GAPDH抗体、蛋白、鼠源,1:10000)在4℃下轻微摇晃孵育过夜。然后,用PBST缓冲液洗涤膜3次(每次5min)。将膜与辣根过氧化物酶(HRP)偶联的抗兔IgG抗体(1:5000稀释)和抗小鼠IgG抗体(1:5000稀释)在室温下孵育1小时。最后,用PBST缓冲液洗涤膜3次(每次5min),采用电化学发光(ECL)蛋白印迹底物检测蛋白印迹条带。检测结果显示在图8中下图的右侧。在采用cRGD与细胞进行预孵育的情况下,细胞表面的Integrin与其配体cRGD的结合,竞争性抑制了BMS-L3 1-RGD与Integrin的结合,从而导致BMS-L3 1-RGD对PD-L1蛋白的降解效果减弱。这一实验表明BMS-L3 1-RGD通过与细胞表面的Integrin结合来促进PD-L1蛋白的降解。 In the competition experiment, cRGD (5 μM) was incubated with cells at 4°C for 1 hour, then BMS-L3 1 -RGD was added, and the cells were cultured at 37°C for another 8 hours. The cells were then washed twice with cold PBS, and 150-200 μL of SDS lysis buffer (containing 1 μM protease inhibitor) was added and centrifuged at 14000 rpm for 5 minutes. The protein samples were boiled for 20 minutes, and then boiled in SDS-PAGE sample loading buffer (5x) for 10 minutes. The protein samples were electrophoresed with 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel (SDS-PAGE) and transferred to a 0.45 μm polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane (Millipore). Then, the membrane was blocked with 5% skim milk powder in PBST buffer (PBS + 0.1% Tween-20) at room temperature for 2 hours with gentle shaking. The membranes were incubated with primary antibodies (PD-L1 antibody, cell signaling technology (CST), rabbit source, 1:1000; GAPDH antibody, protein, mouse source, 1:10000) at 4°C with gentle shaking overnight. Then, the membranes were washed three times with PBST buffer (5 min each time). The membranes were incubated with horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated anti-rabbit IgG antibody (1:5000 dilution) and anti-mouse IgG antibody (1:5000 dilution) at room temperature for 1 hour. Finally, the membranes were washed three times with PBST buffer (5 min each time), and the protein blot bands were detected using electrochemiluminescence (ECL) protein blot substrate. The detection results are shown on the right side of the lower figure in Figure 8. When cRGD was used to pre-incubate cells, the binding of Integrin on the cell surface to its ligand cRGD competitively inhibited the binding of BMS-L3 1 -RGD to Integrin, resulting in a weakened degradation effect of BMS-L3 1 -RGD on PD-L1 protein. This experiment showed that BMS-L3 1 -RGD promoted the degradation of PD-L1 protein by binding to Integrin on the cell surface.

B16F10 cells (2×10 5 ) were suspended in 100 μL PBS and injected subcutaneously into the right side of 5-6 week old germ-free female C57BL/6J mice. After the tumor size reached 30 mm 3 -50 mm 3 (L×W×1/2W), the animals were randomly divided into three groups, 5 in each group. BMS-8 (2 mg/kg), BMS-L3 1 -RGD (5 mg/kg) and 10% DMSO/PBS (100 μL) were applied to one group of animals, respectively, and injected intravenously through the tail vein once every two days for a total of 5 times. Animals injected with 10% DMSO/PBS served as the control group. Tumor size and mouse weight were measured before each injection. Mice were killed 18 days after injection of B16F10 cells, and tumor specimens were collected, weighed and further analyzed, including sectioning for fluorescent staining. Data represent mean ± SEM (n = 5), and statistical significance was evaluated by *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, and ***P < 0.001. All animal experiments were performed in accordance with relevant guidelines and regulations and were approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee of SIAT. The test results are shown in Figure 9, where Figure A shows the operation flow of this experiment, Figure B shows the change in animal body weight within 18 days after injection of B16F10 cells, Figure C shows the change in tumor tissue volume within 18 days after injection of B16F10 cells, Figure D shows the change in tumor tissue size within 18 days after injection of B16F10 cells, and Figure E shows the average weight of tumor tissue within 18 days after injection of B16F10 cells. The results of immunohistochemistry imaging of the upper tumor slices in Figure F show that the level of PD-L1 in the BMS-L3 1 -RGD drug group was significantly reduced compared with the control group and the BMS-8 drug group; the results of immunofluorescence imaging of the lower tumor slices in Figure F show that the level of cell apoptosis in the BMS-L3 1 -RGD drug group was significantly increased compared with the control group and the BMS-8 drug group. This experiment showed that BMS-L3 1 -RGD can effectively degrade the PD-L1 level in mice and cause tumor cell apoptosis, thereby producing a significant anti-tumor effect.

实验结果:Experimental results:
参阅说明书图8,免疫印记实验表明表明:三种包含不同长度的连接臂的BMS-L3-RGD化合物均能诱导PD-L1的降解,其中的BMS-L3 1-RGD在较低浓度(25nM)下对PD-L1的降解率更高。我们研究了不同药物浓度处理后的细胞膜-胞质组分和总组分中的PD-L1水平,发现BMS-L3 1-RGD在25nM时表现出更好的降解效果。筛选孵育时间实验显示,8小时足以最大限度地降解PD-L1蛋白。我们发现溶酶体抑制剂Bafilomycin A1抑制了PD-L1的降解,而蛋白酶体抑制剂MG132对蛋白降解没有抑制效果,这证实了其降解依赖于溶酶体途径。我们也使用环肽cRGD对MDA-MB-231细胞进行预处理,以阻断细胞表面的整合素,然后再将细胞与BMS-L1-RGD孵育。在这种条件下,BMS-L3 1-RGD并没有诱导PD-L1的降解,这就说明PD-L1的降解是由整合素介导的。 Referring to Figure 8 of the specification, immunoblotting experiments show that three BMS-L3-RGD compounds containing different lengths of connecting arms can induce the degradation of PD-L1, among which BMS-L3 1 -RGD has a higher degradation rate of PD-L1 at a lower concentration (25nM). We studied the PD-L1 levels in the cell membrane-cytoplasmic fraction and the total fraction after treatment with different drug concentrations, and found that BMS-L3 1 -RGD showed better degradation effect at 25nM. The screening incubation time experiment showed that 8 hours was sufficient to maximize the degradation of PD-L1 protein. We found that the lysosomal inhibitor Bafilomycin A1 inhibited the degradation of PD-L1, while the proteasome inhibitor MG132 had no inhibitory effect on protein degradation, which confirmed that its degradation depends on the lysosomal pathway. We also pretreated MDA-MB-231 cells with cyclic peptide cRGD to block integrins on the cell surface, and then incubated the cells with BMS-L1-RGD. Under this condition, BMS-L3 1 -RGD did not induce the degradation of PD-L1, indicating that the degradation of PD-L1 is mediated by integrin.
参阅说明书图9,体内动物实验表明:尾静脉注射5mg/kg的BMS-L3 1-RGD(每两天注射一次,共5次),用药组与对照组老鼠的体重没有明显变化;用药组肿瘤的体积增长缓慢,而对照组肿瘤的体积呈稳态增长趋势;实验结束后,处死老鼠,称重剥离出的肿瘤组织,用药 组肿瘤的平均质量明显小于对照组,其中,注射BMS-L3 1-RGD的用药组肿瘤的平均直径最小,这说明BMS-L3 1-RGD能够有效抑制肿瘤的生长,并且毒副作用较小。 Referring to Figure 9 of the specification, in vivo animal experiments showed that: after tail vein injection of 5 mg/kg BMS-L3 1 -RGD (injected once every two days, for a total of 5 times), there was no significant change in the body weight of mice in the treatment group and the control group; the volume of the tumor in the treatment group grew slowly, while the volume of the tumor in the control group showed a steady growth trend; after the experiment, the mice were killed and the excised tumor tissues were weighed. The average mass of the tumors in the treatment group was significantly smaller than that in the control group. Among them, the average diameter of the tumors in the treatment group injected with BMS-L3 1 -RGD was the smallest, which shows that BMS-L3 1 -RGD can effectively inhibit tumor growth and has fewer toxic side effects.

These can prove that the combination of cRGD cyclic peptide with small molecule ligands of extracellular POI can promote integrin-mediated internalization and degradation of extracellular protein-PD-L1 (APOE4-AF488) through the endosomal-lysosomal pathway.
参阅说明书图14,整合素促进的胞外蛋白的溶酶体降解:与叠氮化物标记的NAP-650处理的细胞相比,与RGD标记的NAP-650共孵育显著增加了细胞摄取,而用CQ抑制溶酶体蛋白水解活性导致了该蛋白的最高积累。此外,FITC标记的中和病毒蛋白(NAP-FITC)的荧光信号与早期核内体标记(Rab5)共定位,NAP-650与溶酶体标记(LysoTracker)共定位,表明内化的蛋白通过内体运输到溶酶体。这些可以证明将cRGD环肽与细胞外POI的小分子配体选结合,可以通过内体-溶酶体途径促进整合素介导的细胞外蛋白的内化和降解。See Figure 14 of the specification for lysosomal degradation of extracellular proteins promoted by integrins: compared with cells treated with azide-labeled NAP-650, co-incubation with RGD-labeled NAP-650 significantly increased cellular uptake, while inhibition of lysosomal proteolytic activity with CQ resulted in the highest accumulation of the protein. In addition, the fluorescence signal of the FITC-labeled neutralizing virus protein (NAP-FITC) co-localized with the early endosome marker (Rab5), and NAP-650 co-localized with the lysosomal marker (LysoTracker), indicating that the internalized protein was transported to the lysosome through the endosome. These can prove that the selective combination of cRGD cyclic peptide with small molecule ligands of extracellular POI can promote the internalization and degradation of extracellular proteins mediated by integrin through the endosomal-lysosomal pathway.
参阅说明书图17,整合素促进的胞外蛋白—载脂蛋白E4(APOE4-AF488)的溶酶体降解:与叠氮化物标记的APOE4-AF488处理的细胞相比,与RGD标记的APOE4-AF488共孵育显著增加了细胞摄取,而用CQ抑制溶酶体蛋白水解活性导致了该蛋白的最高积累。这些可以证明将cRGD环肽与细胞外POI的小分子配体结合,可以通过内体-溶酶体途径促进整合素介导的细胞外蛋白—载脂蛋白E4(APOE4-AF488)的内化和降解。See Figure 17 of the specification, integrin-promoted lysosomal degradation of extracellular protein-apolipoprotein E4 (APOE4-AF488): compared with cells treated with azide-labeled APOE4-AF488, co-incubation with RGD-labeled APOE4-AF488 significantly increased cellular uptake, while inhibition of lysosomal proteolytic activity with CQ led to the highest accumulation of the protein. These can prove that the combination of cRGD cyclic peptide with small molecule ligands of extracellular POI can promote integrin-mediated internalization and degradation of extracellular protein-apolipoprotein E4 (APOE4-AF488) through the endosomal-lysosomal pathway.
采用上述策略,我们设计合成的BMS-L3-RGD系列化合物在体内与体外实验中均被证明是一个高效的程序死亡配体1(PD-L1)降解剂;PH002-L34-RGD是一个高效的胞外蛋白载脂蛋白E4降解剂。由此可见,我们提出的IFLD策略扩展了调节分泌蛋白和膜相关蛋白水平的工具箱,因此在化学生物学和药物发现领域有巨大的应用潜力。Using the above strategy, we designed and synthesized a series of BMS-L3-RGD compounds, which were proved to be highly efficient programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) degraders in both in vivo and in vitro experiments; PH002-L34-RGD is a highly efficient degrader of extracellular protein apolipoprotein E4. It can be seen that the IFLD strategy we proposed has expanded the toolbox for regulating the levels of secretory proteins and membrane-associated proteins, and therefore has great application potential in the fields of chemical biology and drug discovery.
