Description

Humanized bispecific nanobody targeting EGFR dimer interface
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of genetic engineering, and particularly relates to a humanized bispecific nanobody targeting an EGFR dimer interface.
Background
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR or Her 1/ErbB 1) is an important member of the human epidermal receptor family, plays an important role in the growth and differentiation of normal epidermal cells, and is an effective target for treating many epithelial cancers. EGFR, a Receptor Tyrosine Kinase (RTK), comprises a glycosylated extracellular domain, a single hydrophobic transmembrane segment, an intracellular portion (containing a membrane proximal segment, a protein kinase domain, and a carboxyl terminus). Binding of ligands such as Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) to cell surface EGFRs results in exposure of the dimer interface and heterodimerization with either homologous or heterologous to another EGFR family member. Dimerization results in RTKs activating and phosphorylating specific tyrosine residues, thereby initiating mitotic signaling cascades and other cellular activities. EGFR overexpression and mutation in lung, breast, gastric, colorectal, head and neck, pancreatic and glioblastoma makes EG FR an ideal target for anti-tumor therapy. Monoclonal antibodies cetuximab and panitumumab have been used as EGF R inhibitors for anticancer therapy, but these drugs have a low clinical efficacy (about 15%).
"dimerization" is a key and common step that must be followed for activation of EGFR family receptors, and it is possible to effectively prevent homo-or heterodimerization and activation of receptors through steric hindrance by antibodies by selecting, as a targeting site of antibodies, dimer interface regions highly conserved in evolution, particularly β -loops of dimer interface regions directly involved in dimer formation. Single nanobodies may have difficulty reaching the conventional antibody level in vivo in anti-tumor activity of monospecific antibodies directed against the signaling pathway due to lack of ADCC effect of conventional antibodies. ADCC is mainly dominated by NK cells, and the construction of the bispecific antibody by using the nanobody resisting NK cell surface Fc receptor FcyRIIIa (also called CD16) can effectively endow the nanobody with ADCC. The stability of the nanobody in serum is also a restrictive problem of its druggability. The albumin is used as a carrier protein, so that the serum stability of the small molecular drug can be effectively improved, and the pharmacokinetic behavior of the drug in vivo can be improved. It is a desirable strategy to mediate drug conjugation to albumin in vivo with nanobodies targeting human serum albumin, thereby improving drug half-life and pharmacokinetic behavior.

The bispecific nano antibody gene is obtained by an artificial synthesis method, engineering bacteria are constructed by a pichia pastoris X33 secretory expression system, and target protein is purified in a small scale by cation exchange chromatography and nickel column affinity chromatography. The specific binding capacity of the bispecific antibody and the cell surface EGFR is analyzed by flow cytometry by taking A431 as a target cell, and the antibody is proved to have a dose-dependent binding effect. And the killing effect of the bispecific nanobody on EGFR positive tumor cells alone and/or in combination with NK cells is found, and meanwhile, the bispecific nanobody generates a certain Antibody Dependent Cellular Cytotoxicity (ADCC) effect on cells.

Example 3 transformation and expression of recombinant plasmids containing humanized bispecific Nanobodies targeting the EGFR dimer interface
First, experiment method
The positive transformant NK-77-pGAPZ alpha A-DH5 alpha obtained in example 2 was subjected to amplification culture, a large amount of recombinant plasmid NK-77-pGAPZ alpha A was extracted, and linearization of recombinant plasmid NK-77-pGAPZ alpha A was carried out in the reaction system: ddH230 mu.l of O, 20 mu.l of 10 XK buffer, 10 mu.l of BlnI and 140 mu.l of recombinant plasmid system, performing instant centrifugation for 10 seconds, and performing enzyme digestion in water bath at 37 ℃ for 2 hours to linearize the plasmid NK-77-pGAPZ alpha A.
Taking the prepared Pichia X-33 competent cells, adding linearized NK-77-pGAPZ alpha A plasmid for electrotransformation, screening high-resistance transformants by using a Zeocin YPD solid medium plate containing 1000 mu g/mL, identifying the high-resistance recombinants by colony PCR, and identifying whether the corresponding recombinants express target proteins by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis.
After the expression of the transformant is confirmed, performing shake flask fermentation to culture the transformant, centrifuging to process bacterial liquid, collecting fermentation supernatant, adding 0.385g of ammonium sulfate solid particles into each milliliter of supernatant, standing at 4 ℃ for 6 hours, centrifuging to remove the supernatant, taking precipitates, then re-suspending and dissolving the precipitates by using CM-Sepharose cation column equilibrium buffer solution, performing suction filtration on a sample by using a 0.45 mu m filter membrane, purifying a nano antibody by using CM-Sepharose cation exchange chromatography, and further purifying by using a Ni-NTA affinity chromatography column and Sephadex-g 25.
Second, experimental results
The recombinant DNA No.4 in example 2 was extracted, linearized and electrically transformed into wild-type Pichia pastoris X-33, and screened by a high-resistance plate to obtain 16 high-resistance transformants. The electrophoresis results of the supernatants obtained after 48 hours of culture in YPD medium are shown in FIG. 4.
The results showed that transformants numbers 2, 8, 11, 14 and 16 all produced expression products of approximately 44kDa in size compared to the empty host culture supernatant. The glycerol strain of transformant No. 16 was selected for shake flask fermentation, and the antibody was concentrated and purified by CM-Sepharose cation exchange chromatography, and then purified by Ni-NTA affinity column, Sephadex-g25 to a purity of over 95% (as shown in FIG. 5). The finally obtained humanized bispecific nanobody targeting the EGFR dimer interface is named as EGFR-HSA-CD 16.
Example 4 specific binding Capacity of humanized bispecific Nanobody targeting EGFR dimer interface to cells
First, experiment method
To investigate the ability of humanized bispecific nanobodies targeting the EGFR dimer interface to specifically bind EGFR on cells, EGFR-overexpressed a431 cells were used as target cells. After treatment of a431 cells with EGF and the purified antibody EGFR-HSA-CD16 at various concentrations, the ability of the antibody to bind to the cells was analyzed by flow cytometry.
Culturing A431(EGFR overexpression) in cell culture medium containing 10% (v/v) FBS, and collecting 1 × 106The cells were blocked in a 1.5ml EP tube with 2% BSA in PBS buffer at 4 ℃ for 1h, centrifuged at 1000rpm/min for 5min, washed three times with PBS and the supernatant discarded. The humanized bispecific nanobody EGFR-HSA-CD16 targeting the EGFR dimer interface prepared in example 4 was added to cells and incubated at 4 ℃ for 2 h. Experimental groups (3, 30 and 300. mu.g/ml) were set to which antibodies at different concentrations were added, while blank control groups to which the above antibodies were not added were set. After washing with PBS three times, the supernatant was discarded, and 100. mu.l of a goat anti-mouse secondary antibody diluted 500 times with FITC-labeled anti-His tag was added, followed by incubation for 30min in the dark. After three PBS washes, the supernatant was discarded, and the pellet was resuspended in 300 μ l of 4 ℃ pre-cooled PBS, transferred to a flow tube and assayed for antibody binding activity using a Coulter ELITE flow cytometer (Beckman, USA).
Second, experimental results
Flow cytometry analysis showed that the binding capacity of the humanized bispecific nanobody EGFR-HSA-CD16 targeting the EGFR dimer interface increased with increasing antibody concentration (3, 30 and 300 μ g/ml) and the signal peak in the high dose antibody group was significantly enlarged (as shown in figure 6). These results show that the binding of the humanized bispecific nanobody EGFR-HSA-CD16 targeting the EGFR dimer interface to the cell surface is specific and concentration gradient dependent.
Example 5 humanized bispecific Nanobody targeting EGFR dimer interface and anti-tumor proliferation Effect
First, experiment method
The effect of the bispecific nanobody EGFR-HSA-CD16 on the proliferation of different cell lines in vitro by the action of PBMCs (peripheral blood mononuclear cells) was examined using the MTT assay, wherein cells with different EGFR phenotypes were used.
NIH 3T3 cells (EGFR is weakly expressed), A431 cells and H292 cells (EGFR is highly expressed) are respectively cultured in a cell culture medium containing 10% (v/v) FBS until culture bottles are full, the adherent cells are digested by pancreatin containing 0.25% EDTA, and the cell suspension is planted into a 96-well cell culture plate according to 5000 cell numbers per well. After 24 hours of culture, the maintenance medium containing no FBS was replaced, and culture was continued for 24 hours. The experimental group and the control group were set up, and the medium was replaced with a medium containing different concentrations of the antibody (EGFR dimer interface targeting nanobody EGFR dimer Nb77, EGFR dimer interface targeting bispecific nanobody EGFR-HSA-CD16 prepared in example 4) while adding 5 × 10 per well4The pretreated PBMCs were cultured for 48h, and then the antitumor cell proliferation activity of each group was measured according to the MTT kit instructions. All experiments were performed in triplicate. Percent inhibition was calculated using the formula: (OD)Control group-ODExperimental group)/ODControl group×100%。
Second, experimental results
The antibody EGFR-HSA-CD16 has a significant inhibitory effect on EGFR-overexpressing a431 cells, while it has a weaker inhibitory effect on EGFR-weakly-expressing mouse fibroblast 3T3 cells (as human EGFR is homologous to murine EGFR dimeric interface region, nanobodies targeting the human EGFR dimeric interface region can also recognize the murine EGFR dimeric interface region) (as shown in fig. 7A). Furthermore, the ability of EGFR-HSA-CD16 to inhibit proliferation was similar to the nanobody EGFR dimer Nb77 previously constructed in this laboratory targeting the EGFR dimer interface region, both of which had dose-dependent effects (as shown in fig. 7B). Wherein, under the coaction of the EGFR-HSA-CD16 and the PBMCs, the inhibition effect of the bispecific nanobody EGFR-HSA-CD16 on tumor cells is obviously enhanced. The results showed that the nanobody had ADCC effect (antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity).

The humanized bispecific nano antibody EGFR-HSA-CD16 targeting the EGFR dimer interface and the humanized monospecific nano antibody EGFR dimer Nb77 targeting the same are respectively mixed with human serum, incubated in water bath at 37 ℃ for 1d, 3d and 7d respectively, and then sampled for SDS-PAGE electrophoresis. Then, membrane transfer was performed, PBS was washed three times, and then 100 μ l of goat anti-mouse secondary antibody diluted 500 times with HRP-labeled anti-His tag was added, and incubation was performed for 30min in the dark. Adding substrate DAB, developing for 10-15min, adding 1M H2SO4The reaction was terminated. The stability of the antibody was photographed and analyzed.
Second, experimental results
The humanized bispecific nanobody EGFR-HSA-CD16 targeting the EGFR dimer interface did not degrade during the interaction with serum, and remained stable at 1d, 3d, and 7d, while the same targeted humanized monospecific nanobody EGFR dimer Nb77 degraded at 3d and degraded by more than half at 7d (as shown in fig. 8), indicating that the humanized bispecific nanobody EGFR-HSA-CD16 targeting the EGFR dimer interface is much more stable in serum than the same targeted humanized monospecific nanobody EGFR dimer Nb 77. The reason is that the nano antibody EGFR-HSA-CD16 has a fragment which is targeted to bind with human serum albumin, and the binding can reduce the degradation speed of EGFR-HSA-CD16, so that the half-life period of the bispecific nano antibody in serum is greatly prolonged.
