二代噬菌体展示淘选PD-1结合肽及其模拟位点分析

Identification of PD-1 Binding Peptides by Next-Generation Phage Display and Mimotope Analysis

  • 摘要: 阻断PD-1/PD-L1相互作用可以激活肿瘤浸润性T细胞并恢复其抗肿瘤活性,对于恶性肿瘤具有较好的治疗作用。尽管靶向PD-1/PD-L1通路的抗体药物对癌症有一定的疗效,但现有抗体药物存在生产成本高、个体差异大、引发不恰当的免疫反应等问题,而且还伴随着不可避免的缺陷,如器官或肿瘤渗透性差、口服生物利用度差等,因此迫切需要寻求多肽抑制剂等来弥补当前PD-1/PD-L1相互作用抗体阻断剂的缺点。该文以重组人PD-1蛋白为靶标,首次采用二代噬菌体展示技术淘选Ph.D.-7和Ph.D.-12噬菌体展示文库,获得了400条潜在的PD-1结合肽同时基于BLOSUM62打分矩阵对PD-1结合肽数据集进行了聚类分析。最后,对PD-1结合肽数据集进行了氨基酸组成、基于位置的氨基酸偏好性分析以及模拟位点分析。该文获得的PD-1结合肽有望开发成阻断PD-1/PD-L1相互作用的候选多肽药物,研究结果对于PD-1结合肽的计算设计有一定的指导意义。

     

    Abstract: Blocking the interaction of PD-1/PD-L1, which has a preferable therapeutic effect on malignant tumors, can activate tumor-infiltrating T cells and restore their anti-tumor activities. Although antibody drugs targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway have shown certain efficacy in treating cancer patients, existing antibody drugs have problems such as high production costs, large individual differences, and inducing inappropriate immune responses and unavoidable defects such as poor organ or tumor permeability, inferior oral bioavailability, etc. Therefore, peptide inhibitors are urgently needed to make up for the shortcomings of current PD-1/PD-L1 interaction antibody blockers. In this study, we took the recombinant human PD-1 protein as the target and used next-generation phage display to pan the Ph.D.-7 and Ph.D.-12 phage display libraries for the first time, and isolated 400 potential PD-1 binding peptides. We then clustered the PD-1 binding peptide dataset based on the BLOSUM62 scoring matrix. Finally, amino acid composition, position-based amino acid preference and mimotope analysis were performed on the PD-1 binding peptide dataset. The PD-1 binding peptides obtained by NGPD biopanning in this study are expected to be developed into candidate peptide drugs that block the interaction of PD-1/PD-L1. The research results have certain guiding significance for computationally designing PD-1 binding peptides.
