摘要
Angiogenesis is important in tumorigenesis and tumor progress.Human vascular endothelial growth factor(h VEGF)is an angiogenic growth factor that plays a crucial role in tumor progression.The G-rich region within the 5’-untranslated region(5’-UTR)of h VEGF m RNA can form a‘switchable’RNA G-quadruplex structure that is essential for a cap-independent translation initiation.We firstly screen our small-molecule library for binders of this G-tract.As a result,a novel quinazoline derivative compound 1shows a significant specific interaction with the G-tract and destabilizes the Gquadruplex structure.Cellular experiments results reveal that compound 1 downregulates h VEGF translation,and significantly impedes tumor cells migration.We also find thatcompound1exhibitsan obvious tumor inhibiting activity in MCF-7 xenograft tumors,which may relate with its ability to reduce h VEGF expression.These findings provide a new way of h VEGF translational control through interacting with Gquadruplex structure in the 5’UTRby small molecules.
