Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for screening a compound that regulates MEK / ERK signaling, and a pharmaceutical use of the compound.
- the present invention relates to screening for a compound that regulates intracellular signal transduction associated with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome and its pharmaceutical use.
- Fenne, et al. Considered this to be a candidate for the causative gene, and performed mutation analysis of the LKB1 gene in PJS patients, and found that the LKB1 gene mutation was present in all patients examined (Jenne DE et al., Nat Genet 1998 Jan; 18 (l): 38-43).
- LKB1 is very important in the regulation of cell proliferation and cell differentiation. It is suggested that it plays a role. Therefore, if the intracellular physiology involved in LKB1 can be clarified at the molecular level, drugs that target the molecular mechanism can be rationally designed, thereby artificially controlling these phenotypes. It is considered possible. Such drugs are also expected to be applied to the treatment and prevention of diseases such as S. However, at this stage, the molecular mechanism of LKB1-related intracellular physiology has not been elucidated at the molecular level. Disclosure of the invention
- An object of the present invention is to elucidate the intracellular physiological mechanism involving LKB1, which is a causative gene, and to provide a compound that controls the intracellular mechanism and a screening method thereof.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a drug containing a compound that controls the intracellular physiological mechanism as an active ingredient.
- the present inventors aimed to identify intracellular signaling pathways involving LKB1, and examined the involvement of LKB1 in various known signaling pathways. The results revealed that LKB1 strongly suppressed activation of the c-fos gene promoter by activated K_Ras in HeLa cells (Fig. 1).
- This c-fos promoter has SRE (serum responsive element), CRE (cAMP responsive element), and TRE (TPA responsive element) as known transcription regulatory element binding elements. It is known that activation of the promoter occurs mainly by activation of SRE by a Ras / MEK / ERK-mediated pathway (Fukumoto Y et al., J Biol Chem 1990 Jan 15; 265 (2): 774-80).
- this pathway activates c-Raf kinase by Ras, which in turn activates MEK1,2 kinase, then ERK1,2 kinase, and ultimately transcription factors.
- Ras a pathway in which gene transcription is activated by phosphorylation of Elkl, which often plays a very important role in the regulation of cell growth as the so-called Ras / MEK / ERK cascade.
- LKB1 was thought to act on any step of this signaling pathway activated by forced expression of activated K-Ras to suppress SRE activation. Then, the present inventors examined the steps involving LKB1, and found that LKB1 also strongly suppressed the activation of artificial SRE by MEK1, a downstream factor of Ras. ( Figure 3). This suggests that LKB1 acts at least downstream of MEK1.
- the Ras / MEK / ERK signal transduction pathway is known to play an important role in normal cell proliferation control mechanism as a pathway for transmitting signals from growth factor receptor Yuichi through Ras.
- LKB1 kinase is inactivated by gene mutation, and the suppression of MEK / ERK signal does not occur, resulting in excessive proliferation of cells, which is expected to appear as a trait such as polyposis or carcinogenesis. Therefore, inhibition of LKB1 kinase activity or reduction of LKB1 protein can activate MEK / ERK signaling, and conversely, activate LKB1 kinase or increase LKB1 protein Thus, it is thought that this signaling can be suppressed.
- Drugs targeting the LKB1 gene and its product kinase are expected to be effective against various diseases caused by abnormal MEK / ERK signaling.
- the present invention has been completed based on the above findings, and provides a compound that controls the MEK / ERK signal transduction mechanism, a method for screening the same, and a drug containing the compound that controls the signal transduction mechanism as an active ingredient. I do.
- the present invention provides
- a method for screening a compound that inhibits MEK / ERK signaling comprising:
- step (c) selecting a compound that increases the kinase activity measured in step (b) as compared to the case where the test sample is not contacted;
- step (c) selecting a compound that increases the expression level of the LKB1 gene measured in step (b) as compared to the case where the test sample is not contacted,
- step (c) selecting a compound that reduces the kinase activity measured in step (b) as compared to the case where the test sample is not contacted,
- step (c) selecting a compound that reduces the expression level of the LKB1 gene measured in step (b) as compared to the case where the test sample is not contacted,
- step (c) selecting a compound that reduces the reporter activity measured in step (b) as compared to when the test sample is not contacted, (6) The method according to (5), wherein the protein constituting the Ras / MEK / ERK signaling pathway is selected from the group consisting of Ras, c-Raf. MEK1, and MEK2.
- an agent that suppresses MEK / ERK signal transmission comprising a compound that promotes the kinase activity of LKB1 as an active ingredient
