摘要：SignificanceThis study shows how phage display technology can be applied successfully to in vivo models and can advance molecular oncology through the identification of tumor-homing peptides and their target receptors. Treatment options are still limited for prostate cancer patients who have progressed to develop castrate-resistant osteoblastic bone metastases. The peptides identified in this study may lead to breakthroughs in fighting metastatic androgen-independent prostate cancer by enabling drug targeting and nanotechnology-based therapeutic strategies and may lead to significant advances in the management and therapy of this frequently lethal disease. We performed combinatorial peptide library screening in vivo on a novel human prostate cancer xenograft that is androgen-independent and induces a robust osteoblastic reaction in bonelike matrix and soft tissue. We found two peptides, PKRGFQD and SNTRVAP, which were enriched in the tumors, targeted the cell surface of androgen-independent prostate cancer cells in vitro, and homed to androgen receptor-null prostate cancer in vivo. Purification of tumor homogenates by affinity chromatography on these peptides and subsequent mass spectrometry revealed a receptor for the peptide PKRGFQD, -2-macroglobulin, and for SNTRVAP, 78-kDa glucose-regulated protein (GRP78). These results indicate that GRP78 and -2-macroglobulin are highly active in osteoblastic, androgen-independent prostate cancer in vivo. These previously unidentified ligand-receptor systems should be considered for targeted drug development against human metastatic androgen-independent prostate cancer.
