血管内皮细胞生长因子(VEGF)结合酪氨酸激酶受体KDR/FLK1能促进血管形成.筛选能封闭VEGF与KDR相互作用的小肽可以通过阻断血管形成而抑制实体瘤生长.将从噬菌体12肽库中筛选而获得的能与KDR结合的12肽K237 DNA克隆到表达载体pQE42中,在大肠杆菌M15中稳定表达二氢叶酸还原酶融合蛋白DHFR-K237,经变性、复性后得到纯度达90%的可溶性蛋白.体外实验显示,DHFR- K237能竞争抑制VEGF结合KDR,显著抑制由VEGF刺激而引起的人脐静脉内皮细胞增殖;体内实验表明,DHFR-K237能显著抑制鸡胚尿囊膜血管形成和荷瘤裸鼠中肿瘤的生长.结果表明,12肽K237是VEGF结合KDR的有效拮抗剂,具有抗肿瘤生长和转移的潜在应用前景.
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) binds tyrosine kinase receptor KDR / FLK1 to promote angiogenesis. Screening for small peptides that block the interaction of VEGF with KDR can inhibit the growth of solid tumors by blocking angiogenesis. The 12-mer K237 DNA capable of binding to KDR, obtained from the phage 12 peptide library, was cloned into the expression vector pQE42 and the dihydrofolate reductase fusion protein DHFR-K237 was stably expressed in E. coli M15. The degenerated and refolded After the purity of up to 90% of the soluble protein. In vitro experiments showed that DHFR-K237 could competitively inhibit the binding of VEGF to KDR and significantly inhibit the proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells stimulated by VEGF. In vivo experiments showed that DHFR-K237 could significantly inhibit the formation of chorioallantoic membrane and tumor-bearing nude Tumor growth in mice. The results showed that the 12 peptide K237 is a potent antagonist of VEGF binding to KDR and has the potential application prospect of anti-tumor growth and metastasis.
