An engineered DNA aptamer-based PROTAC for precise therapy of p53-R175H hotspot mutant-driven cancer

Targeting oncogenic mutant p53 represents an attractive strategy for cancer treatment due to the high frequency of gain-of-function mutations and ectopic expression in various cancer types.Despite exten-sive efforts,the absence of a druggable active site for small molecules has rendered these mutants ther-apeutically non-actionable.Here we develop a selective and effective proteolysis-targeting chimera(PROTAC)for p53-R175H,a common hotspot mutant with dominant-negative and oncogenic activity.Using a novel iterative molecular docking-guided post-SELEX(systematic evolution of ligands by expo-nential enrichment)approach,we rationally engineer a high-performance DNA aptamer with improved affinity and specificity for p53-R175H.Leveraging this resulting aptamer as a binder for PROTACs,we suc-cessfully developed a selective p53-R175H degrader,named dp53m.dp53m induces the ubiquitin-protea some-dependent degradation of p53-R175H while sparing wildtype p53.Importantly,dp53m demon-strates significant antitumor efficacy in p53-R1 75H-driven cancer cells both in vitro and in vivo,without toxicity.Moreover,dp53m significantly and synergistically improves the sensitivity of these cells to cis-platin,a commonly used chemotherapy drug.These findings provide evidence of the potential therapeu-tic value of dp53m in p53-R175H-driven cancers.
