[0007] 表皮生长因子受体巧GFR)为在大多数上皮来源的癌症中高度活化/过表达 的受体酷氨酸激酶(Hynes NE 等,ERBB receptors and cancer:化 e complexity of targeted inMbitors,Na 化 re Reviews Cancer,5 巧):341-354巧00巧)D 抑制 EGF民的 酷氨酸激酶活性已经成为基于EGFR的癌症疗法的主要策略。然而,通过受体酷氨酸 激酶的小分子抑制剂靴向£6!^并未产生令人满意的治疗功效。各种人恶性肿瘤的总 体应答率为 10-20 % (Weiss J.,First line erlotin;Lb for NSCLC patients not selected by EGF民 mutation:keep carrying the TO民CH or time to let the flame die ?

[0008] 证据表明EGFR具有独立的酷氨酸激酶功能。例如,敲除EGK?的动物在出生后很 个夹死亡(Threadgill DW 等,Targeted disruption of mouse EGF receptor: effect of genetic background on mutant phenotype, Science, 269巧221):230-234 (19%))D 然 而,具有严重受损的EGK?酷氨酸激酶活性的小赢完全能够存活并仅显示出一些上皮缺 陷(Luetteke NC,等,The mouse waved-2 phenotype results from a point mutation in the EGF receptor tyrosine kinase,Genes&Development, 8 (4):399-413(1994))。 作为另一实例,野生型和激酶死亡的EGFR增强EGFR阴性32D造血细胞的存活率(Ewald JA 等,Ligand-and kinase activity-independent cell survival mediated by the epidermal growth factor receptor expressed in 32D cells. Experimental Cell Research 282(2):121-131 (2003))。同样已经发现EGFR通过与不依赖于EGFR酷氨酸激 酶活性的钢-葡萄糖共转运蛋白I(SGLTl)相互作用并使其稳定来参与维持癌细胞的细胞 内葡萄糖基础水平(Weihua Z等,Survival of cancer cells is maintained by EGF民 independent of its kinase activity, Cancer Cell,13巧):385-393(2008))D
[0009] S化Tl为主动的葡萄糖转运蛋白,其依靠细胞外钢浓度将葡萄糖转运至细 胞而不依赖于葡萄糖浓度(Wri組t EM,等,Biology of human sodium glucose transporters, Physiological Reviews, 91 (2) :733-794 (2011) D SGLTl 在体内的葡萄 糖吸收和保留中起关键作用(Castaneda-Sceppa C等,Sodium-d邱endent glucose transporter protein as a potential therapeutic target for improving glycemic control in diabetes, Nutrition Reviews, 69(12):720-729(2011)) D 癌症的其中 一个标志为癌细胞显示出改变的能量代谢,即癌细胞消耗的营养物和能量底物的量 大大高于其正常对应物(Hanahan D 等,Hallmarks of cancer:化e next generat ion,Cell,144(5) :646-674(2011)。该增强的能量消耗要求高比率的营养物摄取,这 通过过表达质膜转运蛋白来实现(Ganapathy V,等,Nutrient transporters in cancerirelevance to Warburg hypothesis and beyond, Pharmacology&Therapeutic S 121(l):29-40(2009)。研究已经发现SGLTl在不同类型的癌症中过表达,所述癌症包 括卵巢癌、口腔鱗状细胞癌、结直肠癌、膜腺癌和前列腺癌化ai B等,Overexpression of SGLTl is correlated with tumor development and poor prognosis of ovarian carcinoma.
