Provided herein are peptides comprising an amino acid sequence having at least about 85% sequence identity to RYRPRAPIIAVT (SEQ ID NO: 1). These cationic peptides inhibit PKM2 methylation and may be used in the treatment of breast cancer and other diseases or conditions in which PKM2 is overexpressed. Such PKM2 peptides may be delivered to cancer cells using pH sensitive unimolecular nanoparticles comprising anionic polymers.
本文提供的肽包含与 RYRPRAPIIAVT(SEQ ID NO: 1)至少具有约 85% 序列同一性的氨基酸序列。这些阳离子肽抑制 PKM2 甲基化,可用于治疗乳腺癌和 PKM2 过度表达的其他疾病或病症。这种 PKM2 肽可通过由阴离子聚合物组成的对 pH 值敏感的单分子纳米颗粒输送到癌细胞中。
