Problems solved by technology

Currently, EGFR antibody drugs that have been marketed in my country include cetuximab, panitumumab, and nimotuzumab. Although these drugs have significant curative effects and fewer side effects, they are all very expensive, and patients cannot Bear high costs, and its application is also limited
The mechanism of action of small molecule inhibitors is different from that of monoclonal antibodies, mainly by competitively binding to the phosphorylation site of EGFR intracellular tyrosine kinase, blocking its interaction with ATP, and then inhibiting EGFR tyrosine phosphorylation And a series of downstream signal transduction, so small molecule inhibitors are not as specific as monoclonal antibodies, and patients will experience side effects such as diarrhea, rash, and nausea during use

Embodiment 1

[0024] Embodiment 1: Construction of pET-30a / EGFR-ECD protein expression vector

[0025] Obtain the sequence information of EGFR from Genebank, accession number is CCDS5514.1, a total of 3363bp. EGFR extracellular domain (Extracellular Domain) is one of them (aa25-645), a total of 1863bp, extract the DNA sequence encoding EGFR-ECD fragment from the entire sequence of EGFR, as shown in SEQ.ID.NO.2, and design PCR based on it Primers:

[0026] Forward primer (SEQ.ID.NO.3):

[0027] 5'-GCTGATATC GGATCC ATGCTGGAGGAAAAGAAAGT-3'

[0028] and reverse primer (SEQ.ID.NO.4):

[0029] 5'-ACGGAGCTC GAATTCTCAGGACGGGATCTT AGG-3', the underlined parts are the restriction sites Bam HI and Eco RI at both ends respectively. The PCR product of EGFR-ECD and vector pET-30a (Novagen, #69909-3) were digested with Bam HI and Eco RI at 37 °C for 1 h, then ligated with T4 DNA ligase at 16 °C for 12 h. Transform the ligation product into DH5α competent cells (full gold, CD201), wait for a singl...

Embodiment 2

[0031] Example 2: Induced expression and refolding purification of EGFR-ECD

[0032] Induced expression of EGFR-ECD: Transform the successfully constructed recombinant plasmid pET-30a / EGFR-ECD into the host strain BL21(DE3) (full gold), use the kanamycin resistance plate to screen the recombinants, pick a single colony in Cultured in LB liquid medium containing kanamycin for 10 h. The culture was inoculated into LB liquid medium at a volume ratio of 1:100, and cultured with vigorous shaking at 37 °C until OD 600 =0.5~0.6, add 0.1 M IPTG to make the final concentration 0.5 mM, and induce at 25 °C for 4 h.

[0033] Verification of the expression of the target protein: centrifuge the above-mentioned induced bacterial solution at 5000 rpm for 10 min, remove the supernatant, and resuspend the bacteria in the lysate (50 mM Tris- HCl pH7.5, 500 mMNaCl, 10% glycerol, 1% TritonX-100, 1 mM protease inhibitor PMSF, 1 mg / mL lysozyme), put on ice and sonicate at 200 W power for 3 s wit...

Embodiment 3

[0038] Example 3: Phage display panning for biologically active peptides specifically binding to EGFR

[0039] Immobilization of target molecules: Add 100 µL of target molecule EGFR-ECD protein solution (0.1 MTBS pH7.4) at a concentration of 100 µg / mL into a 96-well plate, place on a shaker and incubate at 4 °C in a humidified container overnight. The target molecule solution was removed and washed 6 times with TBST (50 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 0.1% [v / v] Tween-20). Finally, block solution (0.1 M NaHCO 3 pH 8.6, 5 mg / mL BSA, 0.02% NaN 3 ) closed for 1 h.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of biomedicine, and relates to a polypeptide that specifically binds to EGFR and inhibits EGF from promoting tumor cell proliferation. Background technique [0002] Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor EGFR (Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor) belongs to Type epidermal growth factor family (ie ErbB family). EGFR is a glycoprotein receptor on the surface of the cell membrane, which consists of 1186 amino acid residues, has a molecular weight of 170KD, and has tyrosine kinase activity. EGFR can be divided into three parts in structure: ①Extracellular region: 621 amino acid residues, which binds to its ligand; ②Transmembrane region: 23 amino acid residues form an α-helical structure, which fixes the receptor on the cell membrane Upper; ③Intracellular region: 542 amino acid residues, containing typical ATP binding sites and tyrosine kinase phosphorylation sites, responsible for the activation of downstream pathways...
