Description

GLP-1 fusion proteins comprising a mutated immunoglobulin Fc portion
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a fusion protein of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), comprising a mutated immunoglobulin Fc part, thus having an extended half-life in vivo. The fusion protein can be used for treating diabetes, obesity and other related diseases or disorders.
Background
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is originally separated and extracted from intestinal mucosa, is a gastrointestinal peptide secreted by ileum endocrine cells, and is mainly used as a target of medicament action of type 2 diabetes at present. GLP-1 can inhibit gastric emptying and reduce intestinal peristalsis, so that it is helpful for controlling food intake and reducing body weight.
GLP-1 produced in the intestinal tract initially is 37 peptide which is an inactive peptide chain, the N-terminal 6 peptide needs to be removed by enzymolysis to form GLP-1(7-37) with biological activity, and the C-terminal glycine of the GLP-1 can be used as a substrate of amidation enzyme, so that about 80 percent of GLP-1 naturally produced in the intestinal tract is GLP-1(7-36) amide, and the sequence of the GLP-1 is the same in mammals which are researched at present. C-terminal amidation increases the in vivo stability of GLP-1.
The amino acid sequence of the natural GLP-1(7-37) is as follows:
HisAlaGluGlyThrPheThrSerAspValSerSerTyrLeuGluGlyGlnAlaAlaLysGluPheIleAlaTrpLeuValLysGlyArgGly
GLP-1 has an N-terminal and a C-terminal, wherein the N-terminal is related to the physiological activity of the GLP-1, and the C-terminal is related to the binding of a receptor. Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP IV) can catalyze and hydrolyze 2 nd alanine at N end of GLP-1 to form GLP-1 (9-36) NH2Lose activity and are natural antagonists of GLP-1R in vivo. GLP-1 has short biological half-life of 1-1.5 min and is quickly degraded by dipeptidase IV, so that the concentration of the GLP-1 in blood is difficult to detect clinically. Therefore, structural modification of GLP-1 to form GLP-1 analogues with the same pharmacological activity, covering the binding site of DPP-IV and prolonging half-life are main subjects of development of the medicaments.
In the last years, Novonide, GSK and the like compete to modify the protein so as to obtain the long-acting GLP-1 hypoglycemic drug.
Exenatide (exenatide) is a bioactive peptide extracted from the salivary gland of lizard, and the amino acid sequence of the exenatide is 53% homologous with GLP-1. Studies have shown that the dosing period can be extended to twice daily. The amino acid sequence of exenatide is as follows:
H-His-Gly-Glu-Gly-Thr-Phe-Thr-Ser-Asp-Leu-Ser-Lys-Gln-Met-Glu-Glu-Glu-Ala-Val-Arg-Leu-Phe-Ile-Glu-Trp-Leu-Lys-Asn-Gly-Gly-Pro-Ser-Ser-Gly-Ala-Pro-Pro-Pro-Ser-NH2
as the second position of the N end of the GLP-1 is replaced by Gly in the GLP-1, the DPP-IV can not degrade the GLP-1, and the GLP-IV has longer half-life and stronger biological activity.
Liraglutide (liraglutide) is a drug for modifying the fatty acid chain of GLP-1 protein, and the administration period is prolonged to once a day. The liraglutide is characterized in that 34-position Lys of a GLP-1(7-37) chain is replaced by Arg, and the 26-position Lys is connected with hexadecanoic acid modified glutamine. After GLP-1 is modified by the fatty chain, the affinity between the GLP-1 and albumin is increased, so that the hydrolysis rate and renal clearance of DPP-IV are reduced, and the biological half-life is prolonged.
The peptide Lixinaside (trade name: lyxumia) was co-developed by Sanofi Aventis and Zealand, France. The amino acid sequence of the linatide is shown below:
H-His-Ala-Glu-Gly-Thr-Phe-Thr-Ser-Asp-Leu-Ser-Lys-Gln-Met-Glu-Glu-Glu-Ala-Val-Arg-Leu-Phe-Ile-Glu-Trp-Leu-Lys-Asn-Gly-Gly-Pro-Ser-Ser-Gly-Ala-Pro-Pro-Ser-Lys-Lys-Lys-Lys-Lys-Lys-NH2
structurally, the risperidone is Exendin-4 with the 38 th Pro removed and the 39 th Ser linked to 6 Lys. Through structural modification, the half-life of Lixisenatide is prolonged compared with that of Exenaatide, and the Lixisenatide can be subcutaneously injected once a day.
Abbiglutide (Albiglite) (trade name: Eperzan) is a weekly subcutaneous injection of long-acting GLP-1 analogs developed by GlaxoSmithKline. Structurally, Albiglutamide is obtained by replacing Ala at position 8 of GLP-1(7-36) chain with Gly, and fusing two modified GLP-1 peptide chains in tandem on serum albumin containing 585 residues, thus greatly prolonging half-life.
Dolaglutide (Dulaglutide) is a weekly subcutaneous long acting GLP-1 analogue developed by Lily corporation. Structurally, Dulaglutide has an average biological half-life of 90 hours, wherein Ala at position 8 in GLP-1(7-37) chain is replaced by Gly, Gly at position 22 is replaced by Glu, Arg at position 36 is replaced by Gly, and the Dulaglutide is fused to glutamic acid at position 216 in recombinant IgG4 immune albumin (containing 227 amino acid Fc fragment) through an GGGGSGGGGSGGGGSA coupling bridge.
Somaglutide (semaglutide) is a long-acting GLP-1 analogue developed by Nove Nordisk corporation that is injected subcutaneously once a week. In structural view, Semeglitide is formed by replacing Ala at position 8 in GLP-1(7-37) chain with Aib, Lys at position 34 with Arg, and Lys at position 26 with octadecanoic acid fatty chain. Compared with liraglutide, the fat chain of the soxhlet peptide is longer, the hydrophobicity is increased, but the hydrophilicity of the soxhlet peptide is greatly enhanced through short-chain PEG modification. After being modified by PEG, the modified PEG not only can be tightly combined with albumin to cover DPP-4 enzyme hydrolysis sites, but also can reduce renal excretion, prolong half-life and achieve the effect of long circulation.
The GLP-1 class of drugs which are the most long-acting drugs on the market at present have the injection frequency of once per week. The long-acting GLP-1 medicament with better action time is developed, so that frequent medicament injection is reduced, and the compliance of patients is improved.

Detailed Description
The Fc fusion protein medicine is a new functional recombinant protein obtained by fusing functional protein and immunoglobulin Fc fragment by utilizing the techniques of gene engineering and the like. Fc fusion proteins and antibodies belong to different types of proteins. The essential differences are as follows: the antibody comprises two heavy chains and two light chains, and the Fc fragment is positioned in the constant region of the heavy chains; and Fc fusion proteins include functional proteins and Fc fragments. This feature of Fc fusion proteins also allows them to retain the biological activity of functional proteins and also have the properties of antibodies such as long-lasting half-life.
The long-acting drug with obvious advantages in the half-life of the drug is obtained by carrying out structural modification on the Fc region of the Fc fusion protein.
More specifically, the present invention provides a GLP-1 Fc fusion protein with long-lasting hypoglycemic capacity, which is obtained by connecting a GLP-1 analogue and an Fc mutant through a peptide, wherein the Fc mutant has at least one mutation: amino acid N434 is substituted with a434 (numbering according to the EU index).
According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a fusion protein comprising or consisting of: GLP-1 or an analog thereof; a peptide linker; and an immunoglobulin Fc portion, wherein amino acid N of the immunoglobulin Fc portion at position 434 (numbered according to the EU numbering system) is replaced with a weakly hydrophobic amino acid, preferably the immunoglobulin Fc portion comprises amino acid substitution N434A (numbered according to the EU numbering system) (note: herein, the amino acid substitution of the immunoglobulin Fc portion uses the nomenclature: initial amino acid, position (numbered according to the EU numbering system), replacement amino acid.
Native GLP-1 is processed in vivo with the first 6 amino acids cleaved off, so the art commonly designates the amino terminus (N-terminus) of GLP-1 as position 7 and the carboxy terminus (C-terminus) as position 37.
Other GLP-1 analogs that retain the native biological activity of GLP-1 are known to those skilled in the art or can be determined by routine experimentation.
Preferably, the GLP-1 analogs described in the present invention comprise 1-10 (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10) amino acid substitutions (e.g., conservative amino acid substitutions), deletions, or insertions in the native GLP-1 sequence, thereby extending the in vivo half-life of GLP-1 and, at the same time, retaining the native biological activity of GLP-1. Preferably, GLP-1 analogues as disclosed for example in CN1802386A, in particular SEQ ID NOs.1-6 as disclosed in CN 1802386A.
Preferably, GLP-1 analogs described in the invention comprise a (C) at 1-5 (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5) amino acid residues of the native GLP-1 sequence12-24E.g. C12、C14、C16Or C18Long chain) fatty acid modification, thereby extending half-life in vivo.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the GLP-1 analogue described in the present invention is selected from the group consisting of Exenatide (Exenatide), Liraglutide (Liraglutide), lissamide (Lixisenatide), Albiglutide (Albiglutide), dolaglutide (Dulaglutide) and somaglutide (semaglutide). Wherein said Albiglutide and dolaglutide refer to the GLP-1 moiety in their structures.
A representative sequence of GLP-1 analogs described in this invention (left to right: N-terminal to C-terminal) is shown below:
HisGly8GluGlyThrPheThrSerAspValSerSerTyrLeuGluGlu22GlnAlaAlaLysGlu PheIleAlaTrpLeuValLysGlyGly36Gly(SEQ ID NO:6)
compared with the natural GLP-1(7-37) in the human body, three amino acids are replaced: A8G, G22E, R36G, with the aim of reducing degradation of the analogue by endogenous enzymes, reducing the potential for molecular aggregation and/or reducing immunogenicity. In this sequence, amino acid E27 at position 27 is negatively charged, while amino acid K34 at position 34 is positively charged. The distribution of these residues exhibits the characteristic charge distribution characteristic of GLP-1 active protein residues.
The GLP-1 fusion protein disclosed by the invention has the following characteristics: amino acid 27 of GLP-1 protein (e.g., E27) and amino acid 216 of immunoglobulin Fc (numbered according to the EU numbering system, e.g., E216) have negative charges, while amino acid 34 of GLP-1 protein (e.g., K34) and amino acid 218 of immunoglobulin Fc (numbered according to the EU numbering system, e.g., K218) have positive charges, and a continuous segment of polar residues (e.g., GGGGSGGGGSGGGGS) is intermediate between GLP-1 protein and immunoglobulin Fc.
The peptide linker in the fusion protein of the invention may be selected from those well known in the art (e.g. the peptide linkers disclosed in CN1802386A, in particular SEQ ID nos.8,19 and 21 disclosed therein) as long as it does not adversely affect the activity of GLP-1 in the fusion protein and/or the stability of the fusion protein. The amino acid sequence of a representative preferred peptide linker for use in the fusion protein of the invention consists of (GGGGS) repeats plus a, representative sequences being:
GlyGlyGlyGlySerGlyGlyGlyGlySerGlyGlyGlyGlySerAla(SEQ ID NO:7)
according to a particular embodiment of the invention, the C-terminus of said GLP-1 or analog thereof is fused to the N-terminus of said Fc part via said peptide linker.
The Fc portion of the invention may be derived from human IgG1, IgG2, IgG3 or IgG 4.
Preferably, the Fc portion of the present invention is mutated to minimize effector function (e.g., L235A, F234A, numbered according to the EU numbering system, see Kabat, E.A. et al, (1991), Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, fifth edition, U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services, Bethesda, Md., NIH publication 91-3242). In addition, it is preferred that the Fc portion of the present invention is mutated (e.g., S228P) so as to be able to form a stable dimer structure.
After systematic modification and research are carried out on residues in an Fc section of the fusion protein, the inventor further discovers that mutation of the N434A site can obviously increase the drug half-life of GLP-1/Fc in blood, and is expected to develop a longer-acting GLP-1 hypoglycemic drug.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the immunoglobulin Fc part comprises a combination of amino acid substitutions (numbered according to the EU numbering system) selected from the group consisting of:
1)S228P+F234A+L235A+N434A;
2)S228P+F234A+L235A+M428L+N434A;
3) S228P + F234A + L235A + T307A + E380A + N434A; and
4)S228P+F234A+L235A+M252Y+T256E+N434A。
in a preferred embodiment of the invention, the fusion protein has one or more characteristics selected from the group consisting of:
1) said GLP-1 or analog thereof has one or more (2 or 3) amino acid substitutions (numbered according to the EU numbering system) selected from the group consisting of: A8G, G22E and R36G to improve the biological half-life of GLP-1 or an analog thereof;
2) the GLP-1 or analog thereof has (C12-24, such as C) at 1-5 (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5) amino acid residues12、C14、C16Or C18Long chain) fatty acid modification to improve the biological half-life of GLP-1 or an analog thereof; and
3) amino acid 27 of the GLP-1 or analog portion thereof and amino acid 216 of the immunoglobulin Fc portion (numbered according to the EU numbering system) of the fusion protein are both negatively charged, while amino acid 34 of the GLP-1 or analog portion thereof and amino acid 218 of the immunoglobulin Fc portion (numbered according to the EU numbering system) are both positively charged, and a contiguous series of polar amino acid residues or a flexible fragment consisting essentially thereof (e.g., of 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, or 30 amino acid residues) is contained between GLP-1 or analog thereof and the immunoglobulin Fc portion.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the fusion protein is present as a dimer; in a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the fusion protein is present as a homodimer.
In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the amino acid sequence of the immunoglobulin Fc part is selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO.1, SEQ ID NO.2, SEQ ID NO.3 and SEQ ID NO. 4; and/or wherein the amino acid sequence of the GLP-1 or the analogue thereof is shown as SEQ ID NO. 6; and/or wherein the amino acid sequence of the peptide linker is shown as SEQ ID No. 7.
The mutants of the immunoglobulin Fc part of the present invention can be prepared using any mutagenesis method known in the art, such as site-directed mutagenesis, synthetic gene construction, semi-synthetic gene construction, random mutagenesis, shuffling and the like.
Site-directed mutagenesis is a technique in which one or more (several) mutations are made at one or more restriction sites in a polynucleotide encoding a parent.
Site-directed mutagenesis can be accomplished in vitro by PCR involving the use of oligonucleotide primers containing the desired mutagenesis. Site-directed mutagenesis can also be performed in vitro by cassette mutagenesis involving cleavage of a restriction enzyme at a site in a plasmid comprising a polynucleotide encoding a parent and subsequent ligation of an oligonucleotide comprising the mutation in the polynucleotide. Restriction enzymes that digest the plasmid and oligonucleotide are typically identical, such that the cohesive ends of the plasmid and the insert are ligated to each other. Site-directed mutagenesis can also be accomplished in vivo by methods known in the art.
The present invention can use any site-directed mutagenesis procedure. There are many commercial kits available that can be used to prepare variants.
The mutagenesis/shuffling approach can be combined with a high throughput, automated screening method to detect the activity of cloned, mutagenized polypeptides expressed by host cells. Mutagenized DNA molecules encoding active polypeptides can be recovered from the host cells and rapidly sequenced using methods standard in the art. These methods allow for the rapid determination of the importance of individual amino acid residues in a polypeptide.
Semi-synthetic gene construction is accomplished by the combined use of synthetic gene construction, and/or site-directed mutagenesis, and/or random mutagenesis, and/or shuffling. Semi-synthetic construction is typically a combination of methods utilizing synthetic polynucleotide fragments and PCR techniques.

Example 6 summary and discussion
The crystal structure of the antibody Fc region and its receptor (PDB:1FRT, 4N0U) suggests that the Fc region recognizes FcRn by its flanking amino acids, including: m252, S254, T256, M428, N434, etc. (FIG. 12). The binding force of Fc to its receptor can be changed by site-directed mutation of these flanking amino acids, for example, by mutating M252, S254, T256 to Y252, T254, E256, which introduces mutationNegatively charged residuesE256 andpolar amino acidsAnd T254. There are also groups that introduce mutation of the N434 site to S434, etcPolar amino acidsTo increase the binding of the mutant to the receptor.
The Fc fusion protein designed by the present invention includes an antibody Fc region and a unique drug fusion fragment (GLP-1 or its analog) (fig. 12). Wherein the unique drug fusion fragment contains a flexible region of about 5 nm. In the Fc fusion protein, the E27 site of the GLP-1 protein and the E216 site of the Fc protein (numbered according to the EU numbering system) are both negatively charged; while the K34 site of the GLP-1 protein and the K218 site of the Fc protein (numbered according to the EU numbering system) are both positively charged. And, a continuous polar residue segment, i.e., the peptide linker (G), is intermediate between the GLP-1 protein and the immunoglobulin38GGGSGGGGSGGGGS52). The unique structural characteristic enables the 5nm long drug fusion fragment to have potential interaction with newly introduced charge residues and polar residues on the Fc fragment, and further influences the spatial state of the drug fragment.
The mutation and pharmacokinetic experiments of the present invention also confirm this view (experimental methods and procedures as in the previous examples). In addition to the fusion protein of the present invention, the inventors also introduced a negative charge residue E256 into the Fc region of the fusion protein drug of the present invention to construct four drug candidates YES (amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID No.8, Fc region containing mutation)
S228P + F234A + L235A + M252Y + T256E + N434S), YTE (amino acid sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO.9, and Fc region contains mutation
S228P + F234A + L235A + M252Y + S254T + T256E), YTELS (amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.10, Fc region containing mutation
S228P + F234A + L235A + M252Y + S254T + T256E + M428L + N434S) and YE (the amino acid sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO.11, and the Fc region contains a mutation
S228P + F234A + L235A + M252Y + T256E), C thereofmaxValue decrease, t1/2Time advanced and not potentially long acting drug-like (see table 2 for comparison results with the fusion protein of the invention). It can be seen that the introduction of the polar residue S434 in the Fc region results in t1/2The time of the medicine is advanced, and the medicine does not have potential long-acting medicine property. In the process of a pharmaceutical experiment, the weak hydrophobic residue A434 is introduced into an Fc region and can obviously increase t1/2Of which C ismaxThe indexes also show the advantages of the medicine. Thus, the inventors have surprisingly found that: the present inventors have completed the present invention by introducing a weakly hydrophobic residue (e.g., a434) into the Fc fragment of the drug (instead of a polar or charged residue), which can reduce structural self-inhibition between the fused fragment and the Fc fragment, thereby increasing the pharmacokinetic effect.
