Abstract

Drug repurposing is a rapidly growing for the development of new therapeutic agents. Among them, phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitors, which show excellent effects as a treatment for erectile dysfunction, have been continuously reported for their potential as anti-cancer agents. It is necessary to apply targeted delivery systems to enhance the efficacy of the PDE5 inhibitors (PDE5i) as anti-cancer drugs. In this study, PDE5 inhibitor-binding domain (PBD) was developed to incorporate PDE5i into antibody using biological affinity binding without any chemical modifications. The PBD spontaneously bound with PDE5i, resulting in the formation of PBD/PDE5i complex. We also constructed a recombinant fusion protein composed of an anti-HER2 scFv and PBD (HER2 scFv-PBD) to deliver the PDE5i for the treatment of HER2 positive cancer cells. HER2 scFv-PBD could deliver the PDE5i into HER2-positive cancer cells and enhanced anti-cancer effect of the PDE5i. We have demonstrated the potential of tumor-directed PDE5 inhibition as a novel form of targeted therapy using drug binding fusion proteins.

利用药物结合融合蛋白增强 5 型磷酸二酯酶抑制剂抗癌效果的策略
在开发新的治疗药物方面,药物再利用正在迅速发展。其中,磷酸二酯酶-5(PDE5)抑制剂在治疗勃起功能障碍方面效果显著,但其作为抗癌药物的潜力也不断被报道。有必要应用靶向给药系统来提高 PDE5 抑制剂(PDE5i)作为抗癌药物的疗效。本研究开发了 PDE5 抑制剂结合域(PBD),利用生物亲和力将 PDE5i 结合到抗体中,无需任何化学修饰。PBD 自发与 PDE5i 结合,形成 PBD/PDE5i 复合物。我们还构建了一种由抗 HER2 scFv 和 PBD 组成的重组融合蛋白(HER2 scFv-PBD)来递送 PDE5i,用于治疗 HER2 阳性的癌细胞。HER2 scFv-PBD 可将 PDE5i 送入 HER2 阳性癌细胞,增强 PDE5i 的抗癌效果。我们利用药物结合融合蛋白证明了肿瘤定向 PDE5 抑制作为一种新型靶向疗法的潜力。
