研究概要

CCL347 有潜力成为 HCC 的新型治疗药物。

研究思路结论见上方概要

MHC-I类相关链A(MICA)作为自然杀伤组D的配体发挥作用,后者是自然杀伤(NK)细胞上的活化受体,其表达与肝细胞癌(HCC)的发生和进展相关。尽管膜型MICA(mMICA)可激活NK细胞,但由切割酶如解整合素和金属蛋白酶(ADAM)9切割产生的可溶性MICA(sMICA)则抑制NK细胞。因此,通过抑制ADAM9来阻止MICA脱落具有激活癌症免疫的潜力。尽管我们已经发现了若干ADAM抑制剂,但许多抑制剂在不产生细胞毒性的情况下未能充分激活NK细胞,因此,需要新的ADAM9抑制剂候选物。

为识别可用于药物开发的潜在化合物,采用荧光测定法进行了化合物库筛选(共741种化合物)。荧光强度降低的化合物作为命中化合物用于后续分析。分别使用ELISA和流式细胞术评估其对HCC细胞系中sMICA和mMICA的影响。通过将NK细胞与HCC细胞共培养,还评估了NK细胞的细胞毒性。

CCL347,一种具有五个苯环的对称化合物,被鉴定为先导化合物。CCL347显著降低了培养基上清液中的sMICA水平,且细胞毒性可忽略不计。尽管mMICA也有所减少,但CCL347在NK细胞与HCC细胞的共培养中成功增强了NK细胞毒性。

To identify possible compounds for drug development, chemical library screening (a total of 741 compounds) was conducted using a fluorescence assay. Compounds with reduced fluorescence intensity were used as hit compounds in a subsequent analysis. Their impact on sMICA and mMICA in HCC cell lines was assessed using ELISA and flow cytometry, respectively. The cytotoxicity of NK cells was also evaluated by co-culturing NK cells with HCC cells.

CCL347, a symmetrical compound with five benzene rings, was identified as a hit compound. CCL347 significantly reduced sMICA levels in the culture medium supernatant with negligible cytotoxicity. Although mMICA was also reduced, CCL347 successfully enhanced NK cell cytotoxicity in co-cultures of NK cells and HCC cells.

CCL347 has potential as a novel therapeutic drug for HCC.
