Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for identifying compounds which suppress and / or delay the formation of invasive or metastatic tumor cells of the colon, the pancreas, the ovaries or the thyroid.
- the full mechanisms by which the cell stops growing are still largely unknown. Loss of contact inhibition and colony formation in soft agar are properties that are characteristic of cancer cells.
- the receptor thyrosine kinase c-Met and its ligand HGF / SF control various cellular processes that are essential for survival.
- the destruction of the genes of the receptor thyrosine kinase in mice leads to the death of embyons due to a lack of development of the placenta (HGF / SF) and a reduced development of various epithelial organs.
- thyrosine kinase is involved in invasive growth and cellular migration, proliferation and differentiation, in mesenchymal-epithelial communication and tubular endothelial organization and morphogenesis.
- the receptor thyrosine kinase c-Met is primarily expressed in epithelial cells, while its HGF / SF ligand is secreted in mesenchymal cells.
- the protein c-Met carries two essential tyrosine residues, Y1349 and Y1356, which serve as so-called docking sites for various signal components through phosphorylation. In animal systems, c-Met catalyzes invasive and metastatic properties of.
- c-Met The amplification of the c-Met gene and the overexpression of c-Met have been observed in human cancer cells of the colon, pancreas, ovaries and thyroid. Inheritable renal carcinomas as well as carcinomas in the head and neck are associated with the gene locus c-Met.
- the invasive and methastatic growth of tumors is not only influenced by the HGF / SF / MET system and its intracellular transduction pathways, but also other growth factors, the extracellular matrix, adhesion molecules and their intracellular complexes are responsible determinants for the growth of the tumors. Numerous investigations to identify and select relevant components have been carried out.
- a differential expression of epitopes in metastatic and non-metastatic cancer cells of the pancreas enabled a metastasis-associated isoform of CD44 to be identified.
- the designation CD44 stands for a family of class I transmembrane proteins, produced by pronounced alternative splicing of exons v1 to v10.
- CD44 isoforms A causal relationship between CD44 isoforms and the formation of metastatic tumor cells was documented by the transfer of CD44 isoforms into various non-metastatic cell lines. Isoforms which contained the sequences coded by exons v4 to v7 or only v6 and v7 were sufficient to develop a metastatic potential. Antibodies directed against a v6-encoded epitope or CD44v6 antisense RNA suppressed tumor growth in vivo and a metastatic spread of the cancer cells.
- the present invention relates to a method for the identification of compounds which suppress and / or delay the formation of invasive or metastatic tumor cells of the colon, the pancreas, the ovaries or the thyroid gland, the formation of a trimeric complex containing a receptor thyrosine kinase c -Met encodes the gene c-Met, an isoform of the cell surface protein CD44 containing the exon sequence v6 and the c- Met ligand HGF / SF, is prevented and / or delayed by the interaction of the putative compounds with at least one of the three components mentioned.
- the putative compounds are added extracellularly and / or provided infracellularly in the method according to the invention.
- CD44 isoform containing a v6 sequence is absolutely necessary for c-Met activation and signal transmission.
- the receptor thyrosine kinase c-Met, the ligand HGF and a CD44 variant containing a v6 sequence form a trimeric complex. This complex formation is caused by
- Antibodies that specifically recognize the v6 epitopes are prevented.
- a tumor cell line culture of a tumor cell line from cells of the colon, the pancreas, the ovaries or the thyroid gland is provided, this tumor cell line culture for
- an isoform of the cell surface protein CD44 containing the exon sequence v6 and the c-Met ligand HGF / SF is capable, b) this cell culture is provided extracellularly with a compound which is specific to at least one component of the trimeric complex interacts, c) the cell culture treated in this way is provided with an appropriate culture medium for the propagation of the cells and d) a compound from b) is identified as such which prevents the formation of the trimer complex and / or suppressed so that the cells of the tumor cell line no longer multiply.
- a compound is provided intracellularly in step b), this compound being introduced actively into the cells by membrane transport proteins or passively by diffusion or directly synthesized by the cells themselves.
- a peptide is used as the compound.
- a specific antibody against the exon sequence v6 of the CD44 isomer is used.
- the present invention relates to the compounds which are identified by the method according to the invention of the type explained above.
- the compounds according to the invention are distinguished in that they bind specifically to the exon sequence v ⁇ of the cell surface protein CD44.
- the compounds according to the invention are preferably peptides.
- the present invention further relates to the use of the compounds according to the invention for the treatment of cancer.
- Use of the compounds for the preparation of agents for the treatment of cancer is also included according to the invention.
- CD44 isoforms containing exon v6 are necessary and sufficient for cooperation with c-Met.
- FIG. 2 In order to investigate which CD44 variants are required for cooperation with c-Met, an exon-specific RT-PCR was carried out in two different tumor cell lines (FIG. 2).
- the HT29 cell line expresses especially 4 isoforms of CD44, namely CD44v4-10, CD44v2,3,8-10, CD44v2,9,10 and CD44s.
- the strongest signal in Fig. 2; lane C) gave the isoform C44v4-10.
- CD44v4-7 The dominant isoforms of CD44 in the cell line BSp73ASML are CD44v4-7, CD44v6,7 and CD44s.
- c-DNA expression clones encoding individual isoforms of CD44 were transfected into the tumor cell line BSp73AS.
- the cell line BSp73AS expresses only CD44s (FIG. 2) and comparable levels of c-Met in comparison to the metastatic cell line BSp73ASML (FIG. 3C).
- the transfected recipient cell activates a c-Met signal transmission measured on the phosphorylation of ERK (FIG. 3B, lane 1). Additional overexpression of CD44s does not enhance this signal response (Fig. 3B, lane 2).
- FIG. 3B The transfection experiments clearly show that the HGF / SF-dependent c-Met phosphorylation and ERK activation (FIG. 3B) by all CD44 variants which contained an exon v6 sequence or a protein which only contained the v6 region (CD44v6) has been.
- the structure of the CD44 variants that were introduced into the cell lines is shown in FIG. 3A.
- Examples of the expression of CD44v4-7 transfectants are shown in FIG. 2.
- This analysis also contains exonv ⁇ -containing cDNA clones which lack the exon15 sequence (epitope 5G8; ⁇ 15) and which lead to a metastatic behavior of the cells BSp73AS. The presence or absence of Exon15 has no influence on the cooperation between CD44 and c-Met.
- a heparan sulfate modification of CD44 is not required for the activation of c-Met by HGF / SF, as shown in FIG. 4.
- HGF HGF / SF Activation of Pro-HGF in the active form of HGF HGF / SF is secreted as a single-strand precursor, which is converted into an active ⁇ -form and ⁇ by serum proteinases (Shimomura, 1995) or plasminogen activators of the urokinase-type (Maldini, 1995) - Subunits are processed. Investigations as to whether CD44 is involved in the activation of HGF, HGF precursor purchased and isolated from Drosophila Schneider cells (S2) was used to activate c-Met (FIG. 5). Despite the available competent CD44 isoforms, the pro form of HGF is not able to activate c-Met.
- CD44v ⁇ isoforms, c-Met and HGF / SF associate in a trimeric complex
- the induced formation of the immunoprecipitated complex could be prevented by adding an antibody directed against the exonv ⁇ epitope of CD44; but not by antibodies specific for the N-terminal region of CD44 (Fig. 6B).
- C Schematic representation of the chemotaxis of metastatic cells of the cell line BSp73ASML with the addition of HGF in a Matrigel. 50 ng / ml HGF was placed on the bottom of a Transwell reaction chamber. The ASML cells were placed in the upper reaction chamber, which is separated by a filter coated with Matrigel. Without the addition of HGF, the cells do not migrate; migration of the cells can be clearly recognized by the addition of HGF. This cell migration is completely inhibited by the addition of the CD44 antibody.
- Electrophoretic separation of RT-PCR analyzes of the tumor cell lines HT29, BSp73ASML, BSp73AS and BSp73Asv4-7 ⁇ 15.
- the different isoforms of CD44 can be seen in the individual cell lines.
- the lane labeled M shows a molecular weight standard, lanes v2 to v10 represent the CD44 isoforms with the different exon sequences.
- an RT-PCR product with primers from a constant region of CD44 was applied in lane C.
- Figure 3 (A) Schematic representation of the different CD44 isoforms containing corresponding exon sequences, which are identified with v.
- a positive control served a lysate from CD44v1-10 transfected BSp73AS cells.
- the main Cd44 isoform could not be precipitated in HT29 cell lysates.
- HT29 cells carry modified and unmodified CD44 proteins.
- DTSSP Dithiobis (sulfosuccinimidylpropionate); DTSSP).
- DTSSP Dithiobis (sulfosuccinimidylpropionate); DTSSP).
- CD44s could not be precipitated in lysates from the BSp73AS cell line.
- a trimeric complex could be formed in lysates of transfected cells that also contained isoforms of CD44v ⁇ .
- c-Met and CD44 could not be co-precipitated.
- a single CD44 band with a size of 140 kDa could be precipitated from lysates of the HT29 cell line together with the trimeric partners.
- the 140 kDa protein corresponds to the main isoform of CD44 in HT29 cells. All three components of the complex could be detected by a two-dimensional resolution under non-reducing conditions in the first separation.
