Nano-LYTACs for Degradation of Membrane Proteins and Inhibition of CD24/Siglec-10 Signaling Pathway.

ABSTRACT: Lysosome-targeting chimeras (LYTACs) are an emerging therapeutic modality that effectively degrade cancer cell membranes and extracellular target proteins. In this study, a nanosphere-based LYTAC degradation system is developed. The amphiphilic peptide-modified N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) can self-assemble into nanospheres with a strong affinity for asialoglycoprotein receptor targets. They can degrade different membranes and extracellular proteins by linking with the relevant antibodies. CD24, a heavily glycosylated glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored surface protein, interacts with Siglec-10 to modulate the tumor immune response. The novel Nanosphere-AntiCD24, synthesized by linking nanospheres with CD24 antibody, accurately regulates the degradation of CD24 protein and partially re
