For the purpose of cancer therapy, stronger immunogenic death of cancer cells is considered favorable. Membrane disruptive peptides are cytotoxic agents with tunable structures capable of not just killing heterogeneous cancer cells, but also inducing immunogenic death. However, the chemo-structural principles that underlie their immunogenic cytotoxicity remain elusive. Here we investigated a series of arginine-rich amphipathic peptides with representative structures on the relationship between the mode of cell death and the immunogenic potency. Among several hydrophobic motif-appended cyclic octaarginine peptides, FC-14 was found to induce cell stress and necroptotic death, unlike apoptotic peptide RL2 and membrane-dissolving peptide RL1. Their differing abilities to release immunogenic death markers correlated well with their potential to activate innate immunity and protective vaccinal effect in a prophylactic model, with FC-14 being the most potent. FC-14 can be <u>p</u>re-<u>op</u>sonized with <u>a</u>lbumin into <u>n</u>anoparticles (PopAN-FC-14) using PopAN technology to improve its pharmacokinetic properties for intravenous injection. In a syngeneic mouse model of subcutaneous breast cancer, PopAN-FC-14 showed superior therapeutic effect and safety profile than the albumin formulated nanomedicine Nab-paclitaxel (Nab-PTX). Boost injections of PopAN-FC-14 significantly enhanced tumor-specific cellular and humoral immunities, acting similarly as <em>in-situ</em> cancer vaccine. Overall, this work demonstrates a novel focus on the immunogenic cytotoxicity of peptides and a practical approach for effective systemic therapy of cancer.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":255,"journal":{"name":"Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry","volume":"116 ","pages":"Article 117984"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142680366","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, limited indications hinder their further application. Repression of bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4) can block the homologous recombination (HR) repair pathway and has the potential to enhance the response to PARPi in HR-proficient pancreatic cancer therapy. In addition, proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) can hijack E3 ligase within the cell to ubiquitinate degradation-targeted proteins effectively and quickly, thus enhancing the therapeutic effect on tumors. In the present study, the LB23 compound, which induces PARP1 degradation, was employed in combination with the BRD4 inhibitor JQ1, confirming their synergistic effect in HR-proficient pancreatic cancer through various methods. Moreover, compared to the JQ1 and PARPi olaparib combination, PARP1-PROTAC and JQ1 had more notable synergistic effects. Further research into the synergistic mechanism demonstrated that combination therapy enhanced DNA damage and suppressed DNA repair by inducing cell cycle arrest and cell apoptosis.
