摘要

Objective:We aimed to develop a novel anti-HIF-1αintrabody to decrease gemcitabine resistance in pancreatic cancer patients.Methods:Surface plasmon resonance and glutathione S-transferase pull-down assays were conducted to identify the binding affinity and specificity of anti-HIF-1αVHH212[a single-domain antibody(nanobody)].Molecular dynamics simulation was used to determine the protein-protein interactions between hypoxia-inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α)and VHH212.The real-time polymerase chain reaction(PCR)and Western blot analyses were performed to identify the expressions of HIF-1αand VEGF-A in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma cell lines.The efficiency of the VHH212 nanobody in inhibiting the HIF-1 signaling pathway was measured using a dual-luciferase reporter assay.Finally,a PANC-1 xenograft model was developed to evaluate the anti-tumor efficiency of combined treatment.Immunohistochemistry analysis was conducted to detect the expressions of HIF-1αand VEGF-A in tumor tissues.Results:VHH212 was stably expressed in tumor cells with low cytotoxicity,high affinity,specific subcellular localization,and neutralization of HIF-1αin the cytoplasm or nucleus.The binding affinity between VHH212 and the HIF-1αPAS-B domain was 42.7 n M.Intrabody competitive inhibition of the HIF-1αheterodimer with an aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator was used to inhibit the HIF-1/VEGF pathway in vitro.Compared with single agent gemcitabine,co-treatment with gemcitabine and a VHH212-encoding adenovirus significantly suppressed tumor growth in the xenograft model with 80.44%tumor inhibition.Conclusions:We developed an anti-HIF-1αnanobody and showed the function of VHH212 in a preclinical murine model of PANC-1 pancreatic cancer.The combination of VHH212 and gemcitabine significantly inhibited tumor development.These results suggested that combined use of anti-HIF-1αnanobodies with first-line treatment may in the future be an effective treatment for pancreatic cancer.
