Description
本発明は、スキルス胃がん細胞の増殖を阻害するFGFR2に対するsiRNAおよびこれらを含む医薬組成物に関する。 The present invention relates to siRNA against FGFR2 that inhibits the growth of Skills gastric cancer cells and pharmaceutical compositions containing these.
日本における胃がん死亡者数は年間約5万人と多いが、早期胃がんでは約9割、胃がんでも約6割と治癒率(治療後5年間生存している割合)は向上している。しかし、胃がん全体の約10%を占めるスキルス胃がんは極めて悪性であり、ほとんど治療効果が認められない(非特許文献1)。その意味で、一刻も早くスキルスがんに有効な治療薬の開発が切望されている。そのために、これまで、インビトロ培養系で増殖可能な胃がん細胞の培養樹立細胞株を用いる研究が行われており、そのmRNAの発現解析から、FGFR2がスキルス胃がん細胞株であるKATO−III細胞株に強発現していることが報告されている(非特許文献2)。 The number of deaths from gastric cancer in Japan is as high as about 50,000 per year, but the cure rate (rate of surviving for five years after treatment) has improved, with about 90% of early gastric cancer and about 60% of gastric cancer. However, Skills gastric cancer, which accounts for about 10% of all gastric cancer, is extremely malignant and hardly shows any therapeutic effect (Non-patent Document 1). In that sense, the development of an effective therapeutic agent for Skills cancer is eagerly desired. For this purpose, research has been conducted using established cell lines of gastric cancer cells that can be proliferated in an in vitro culture system. From the analysis of mRNA expression, FGFR2 has become a KATO-III cell line that is a Skills gastric cancer cell line. Strong expression has been reported (Non-patent Document 2).
さて、たんぱく質の機能を解析する手段の一つとして、標的のたんぱく質を特異的に発現している細胞に対し、低分子干渉性RNA(以下、siRNAという)をトランスフェクションして、mRNAを特異的に分解することにより発現を阻害し、その機能を解析する手段がよく用いられている。実際に、Fibroblast Growth Factor receptor 2(以下、FGFR2という)に関しても、FGFR2に対するsiRNAをKATO−III細胞株にトランスフェクションし、KATO−III細胞株の増殖が阻害されることが報告されている(非特許文献3)。しかしながら、どの配列のsiRNAが強い阻害作用を発揮するか、および他のスキルス胃がん細胞株への阻害作用については明らかにされていない。
したがって、本発明の課題は、FGFR2に対するsiRNAの核酸配列を検討し、スキルス胃がん細胞の増殖に対して阻害作用の強いsiRNAの核酸配列およびそれを有効成分として含むスキルス胃がん治療用の医薬組成物を提供することである。 Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to examine the nucleic acid sequence of siRNA against FGFR2, and to provide a nucleic acid sequence of siRNA having a strong inhibitory effect on the growth of Skills gastric cancer cells and a pharmaceutical composition for treating Skills gastric cancer comprising the same as an active ingredient. Is to provide.
本発明者らは、上記課題を解決するために鋭意研究を行った。そして驚くべきことに、KATO−III細胞株にFGFR2に対するsiRNA、特に配列番号5および6で表される核酸配列からなるsiRNAをトランスフェクションすると細胞の増殖を著しく阻害することを見出した。 The inventors of the present invention have intensively studied to solve the above problems. Surprisingly, it has been found that KATO-III cell line significantly inhibits cell growth when transfected with siRNA against FGFR2, particularly siRNA consisting of nucleic acid sequences represented by SEQ ID NOs: 5 and 6.
すなわち、本発明は:
(1)FGFR2たんぱく質の発現を阻害することによりスキルス胃がん細胞株の増殖を阻害するsiRNAであって、配列番号1および2、3および4、5および6、または7および8で表されるいずれかのRNA配列の組からなる二本鎖で構成されるsiRNA、
(2)FGFR2たんぱく質の発現を阻害することによりスキルス胃がん細胞株の増殖を阻害するsiRNAであって、配列番号9および10、11および12、13および14、または15および16で表されるいずれかのRNA配列の組からなる二本鎖で構成されるsiRNA、
(3)配列番号5および6で表されるRNA配列の組からなるsiRNAであって、KATO−III細胞株およびNUGC−4細胞株の増殖を阻害するsiRNA、
(4)有効成分として(1)〜(3)のいずれか1つに記載の1種またはそれ以上のsiRNAを含む、スキルス胃がんの治療のための医薬組成物、
(5)有効成分として(3)に記載のsiRNAを含む、スキルス胃がんの治療のための医薬組成物
を提供するものである。
That is, the present invention provides:
(1) An siRNA that inhibits the growth of Schirus gastric cancer cell line by inhibiting the expression of FGFR2 protein, which is represented by any of SEQ ID NOs: 1 and 2, 3 and 4, 5 and 6, or 7 and 8 SiRNA composed of a double strand consisting of a set of RNA sequences of
(2) An siRNA that inhibits the growth of Schirus gastric cancer cell line by inhibiting the expression of FGFR2 protein, which is represented by any of SEQ ID NOs: 9 and 10, 11 and 12, 13 and 14, or 15 and 16 SiRNA composed of a double strand consisting of a set of RNA sequences of
(3) siRNA consisting of a set of RNA sequences represented by SEQ ID NOs: 5 and 6, wherein the siRNA inhibits growth of KATO-III cell line and NUGC-4 cell line,
(4) A pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of Skills gastric cancer, comprising one or more siRNAs according to any one of (1) to (3) as an active ingredient,
(5) Provided is a pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of Skills gastric cancer comprising the siRNA described in (3) as an active ingredient.
本発明によれば、スキルス胃がん細胞に由来する細胞株、特にKATO−III細胞株の細胞増殖を特異的に阻害することができる。これによりスキルス胃がんの細胞増殖に有効な成分を包含する医薬組成物を提供することも可能となり、スキルス胃がんを効果的に治療することができる。 According to the present invention, it is possible to specifically inhibit cell proliferation of a cell line derived from Skills gastric cancer cells, particularly a KATO-III cell line. Thereby, it is also possible to provide a pharmaceutical composition containing components effective for cell growth of Skills gastric cancer, and Skills gastric cancer can be effectively treated.
本発明は、スキルス胃がん細胞の増殖を阻害するsiRNAに関するものである。本発明では、FGFR2に対するsiRNAを提供する。ここで、FGFR2はFibroblast Growth Factor receptor 2の略称であり、線維芽増殖因子の膜受容体たんぱく質の一種であることを意味する。このたんぱく質はFGFシグナルを介在して線維芽細胞をはじめとするさまざまな細胞に対して増殖活性や分化誘導など多彩な作用を示すことが知られているため、スキルス胃がんの細胞増殖にも関連することが示唆される。 The present invention relates to siRNA that inhibits the growth of Skills gastric cancer cells. In the present invention, siRNA against FGFR2 is provided. Here, FGFR2 is an abbreviation for Fibroblast Growth Factor receptor 2 and means a type of membrane receptor protein of fibroblast growth factor. Since this protein is known to exhibit various actions such as proliferation activity and differentiation induction on various cells including fibroblasts via FGF signal, it is also related to cell growth of Skills gastric cancer. It is suggested.
本発明のsiRNAは、アンチセンス鎖とセンス鎖の1組からなる二本鎖で構成される。一般に、siRNAは、dsRNAがRNaseIIIファミリーに属するDicerと呼ばれる酵素によって分解された21〜25塩基の二本鎖RNAであり、複数のタンパク質で構成される複合体RNA Induced Silencing Complex(RISC)に取り込まれて活性型RISCを形成する。この活性型RISCは、取り込まれたsiRNAのRNA配列を利用して標的mRNAを特異的に認識・分解することにより遺伝子の発現を抑制し、たんぱく質の合成を阻害すること(この現象をRNAiという)が示されている。また、siRNAのアンチセンス鎖は標的mRNAと相補的である。本発明のsiRNAは、Target siRNA-17、Target siRNA-18、Target siRNA-19およびTarget siRNA-20と名付けた以下の新規RNA配列を含む。

The siRNA of the present invention is composed of a double strand consisting of a pair of an antisense strand and a sense strand. In general, siRNA is a 21 to 25 base double-stranded RNA in which dsRNA is degraded by an enzyme called Dicer belonging to the RNase III family, and is incorporated into a complex RNA Induced Silencing Complex (RISC) composed of a plurality of proteins. To form an active RISC. This active RISC specifically suppresses gene expression by specifically recognizing and degrading the target mRNA using the RNA sequence of the incorporated siRNA, and inhibits protein synthesis (this phenomenon is called RNAi). It is shown. The antisense strand of siRNA is complementary to the target mRNA.

siRNAによるヒト胃がん培養細胞株の増殖阻害
各種ヒト胃がん細胞株(スキルス胃がん株KATO−III、低分化充実型腺癌株のMKN−45および中分化型腺癌株のMKN−74)を用いて、それらの発現たんぱく質をcleavable ICAT(cICAT)法で解析した結果、スキルス胃がん細胞株のKATO−III細胞株はFGFR2を選択的に強発現していることを確認した(非特許文献4)。このことは、KATO−IIIでのFGFR2 mRNAの選択的強発現を、たんぱく質レベルでも確認したことを示す。そこで、FGFR2のmRNAレベルでその発現を阻害するsiRNAを作成し、そのsiRNAのKATO−III以外のスキルス胃がん細胞株を含めた各種胃がん細胞の増殖に及ぼす効果を調べた。すなわち、FGFR2のsiRNA(DHARMACON)を、各胃がん細胞株(KATO−III、MKN−45、MKN−75、NUGC−4およびOCUM−1)に、トランスフェクション試薬DharmaFECT 1(DHARMACON)を用いてトランスフェクションを行い、トランスフェクション後1−7日目の細胞増殖阻害効果(10%牛胎児血清存在下)を、MTS法(Promega)を用いて測定した。なお、FGFR2のsiRNAとしては4種類(Target siRNA-17、Target siRNA-18、Target siRNA-19およびTarget siRNA-20(表1))を混合したもの(ON-TARGET plus SMART pool FGR2, DHARMACON)およびそれぞれ単独のTarget siRNAを、また、陰性コントロールとしてはNon-Target siRNAを使用し、各細胞株への最適濃度条件下でトランスフェクションを行った。

FGFR2に対するsiRNAの種類と配列
(Table 1)
SiRNA types and sequences for FGFR2
その結果、siRNA4種類の混合物(ON-TARGET plus SMART pool FGFR2, DHARMACON)をトランスフェクションさせた場合、KATO−III細胞株が最も強い阻害効果を受け、また、NUGC−4株も弱いながら阻害効果を受けた。一方、低分化非充実型腺がん細胞株のMKN−45と中分化型腺がん細胞株のMKN−74は、ほとんど阻害効果を受けなかった(図1)。また、スキルス胃がん細胞株のOCUM−1は、FGFR2をKATO−III株の5%程度発現しているにも関わらず、ほとんど阻害効果を受けなかった。なお、増殖阻害実験において、MTS法の代わりに、BrdU法(Roche)で行ってもほぼ同様な結果が得られた(データ省略)。 As a result, when the siRNA four types of mixture (ON-TARGET plus SMART pool FGFR2, DHARMACON) were transfected, the KATO-III cell line received the strongest inhibitory effect, and the NUGC-4 strain also had a weak inhibitory effect. I received it. On the other hand, MKN-45, a poorly differentiated non-solid adenocarcinoma cell line, and MKN-74, a moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma cell line, received almost no inhibitory effect (FIG. 1). Skills gastric cancer cell line OCUM-1 was hardly affected even though FGFR2 was expressed in about 5% of KATO-III strain. In addition, in the growth inhibition experiment, almost the same results were obtained when the BrdU method (Roche) was used instead of the MTS method (data not shown).
次に、4種のsiRNAのうち、どの配列を持つsiRNAが最も阻害効果が強いかを、KATO−III、NUGC−4細胞株を用いて調べた。表1に各siRNAのアンチセンス鎖のRNA配列とセンス鎖のRNA配列を示す。その結果、KATO−IIIの場合、いずれのsiRNAも陰性コントロールのNon-target siRNAより阻害効果は示したが、最も阻害効果の強いsiRNAはTarget siRNA-19であり、ついでTarget siRNA-20、Target siRNA-18の順であった(図2)。また、NUGC−4の場合では、Target siRNA-19のみが阻害効果を示した。従って、Target siRNA-19が本発明のうち最も阻害効果の強いsiRNAであると考えられる。 Next, it was investigated which siRNA having the strongest inhibitory effect among the four siRNAs using KATO-III and NUGC-4 cell lines. Table 1 shows the RNA sequence of the antisense strand and the RNA sequence of the sense strand of each siRNA. As a result, in the case of KATO-III, all siRNAs showed an inhibitory effect than the negative control Non-target siRNA, but the siRNA having the strongest inhibitory effect was Target siRNA-19, followed by Target siRNA-20, Target siRNA. -18 (Fig. 2). In the case of NUGC-4, only Target siRNA-19 showed an inhibitory effect. Therefore, it is considered that Target siRNA-19 is the most effective siRNA in the present invention.
以上のことより、FGFR2のsiRNAは少なくともスキルス胃がん細胞株のある種のものに対しては増殖阻害効果を示し、その中でも最も強い阻害作用を示し、KATO−III細胞株およびNUGC−4細胞株の両方に効果のあるsiRNAはTarget siRNA-19であることが判明した。 From the above, siRNA of FGFR2 exhibits a growth inhibitory effect on at least certain types of Skills gastric cancer cell lines, and exhibits the strongest inhibitory action among them, KATO-III cell line and NUGC-4 cell line. An effective siRNA for both was found to be Target siRNA-19.
