Description

High-affinity T cell receptor for identifying AFP
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of biotechnology, and more specifically to T Cell Receptors (TCRs) capable of recognizing polypeptides derived from AFP proteins. The invention also relates to the preparation and use of said receptors.
Background
Only two types of molecules are able to recognize antigens in a specific manner. One of which is an immunoglobulin or antibody; the other is the T Cell Receptor (TCR), which is a cell membrane surface glycoprotein that exists as a heterodimer from the α chain/β chain or the γ chain/δ chain. The composition of the TCR repertoire of the immune system is produced by v (d) J recombination in the thymus, followed by positive and negative selection. In the peripheral environment, TCRs mediate the specific recognition of the major histocompatibility complex-peptide complex (pMHC) by T cells, and are therefore critical for the cellular immune function of the immune system.
TCRs are the only receptors for specific antigenic peptides presented on the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC), and such exogenous or endogenous peptides may be the only signs of cellular abnormalities. In the immune system, direct physical contact between T cells and Antigen Presenting Cells (APCs) is initiated by the binding of antigen-specific TCRs to pMHC complexes, and then other cell membrane surface molecules of both T cells and APCs interact, which causes a series of subsequent cell signaling and other physiological reactions, thereby allowing T cells of different antigen specificities to exert immune effects on their target cells.
The MHC class I and II molecular ligands corresponding to the TCR are also proteins of the immunoglobulin superfamily but are specific for presentation of antigens, with different individuals having different MHC, and thereby presenting different short peptides of a single protein antigen to the cell surface of the respective APC. Human MHC is commonly referred to as an HLA gene or HLA complex.
AFP (alpha Fetoprotein), also called alpha Fetoprotein, is a protein expressed during embryonic development and is the main component of embryonic serum. During development, AFP is expressed at relatively high levels in the yolk sac and liver, and is subsequently inhibited. In hepatocellular carcinoma, AFP expression is activated (Butterfield et al.J. Immunol.,2001, Apr 15; 166(8): 5300-8). AFP is degraded into small molecule polypeptides after intracellular production and binds to MHC (major histocompatibility complex) molecules to form complexes, which are presented on the cell surface. FMNKFIYEI are short peptides derived from the AFP antigen, which are one of the targets for the treatment of AFP-related diseases.
Thus, the FMNKFIYEI-HLA A0201 complex provides a marker for targeting of TCR to tumor cells. The TCR capable of combining the FMNKFIYEI-HLA A0201 compound has high application value for treating tumors. For example, TCRs capable of targeting the tumor cell marker can be used to deliver cytotoxic or immunostimulatory agents to target cells, or to be transformed into T cells, enabling T cells expressing the TCR to destroy tumor cells for administration to patients in a therapeutic process known as adoptive immunotherapy. For the former purpose, the ideal TCR is of higher affinity, enabling the TCR to reside on the targeted cell for a long period of time. For the latter purpose, it is preferred to use a medium affinity TCR. Accordingly, those skilled in the art are working to develop TCRs that target tumor cell markers that can be used to meet different objectives.

Before the present invention is described, it is to be understood that this invention is not limited to the particular methodology and experimental conditions described, as such methodologies and conditions may vary. It is also to be understood that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only, and is not intended to be limiting, since the scope of the present invention will be limited only by the appended claims.
Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs.
Although any methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein can be used in the practice or testing of the present invention, the preferred methods and materials are now exemplified.
Term(s) for
T Cell Receptor (TCR)
The TCR may be described using the international immunogenetics information system (IMGT). Native α β heterodimeric TCRs have an α chain and a β chain. In a broad sense, each chain comprises a variable region, a linker region and a constant region, and the beta chain also typically contains a short diversity region between the variable region and the linker region, but the diversity region is often considered part of the linker region. The TCR connecting region is defined by the unique TRAJ and TRBJ of IMGT, and the TCR constant region is defined by the TRAC and TRBC of IMGT.
Each variable region comprises 3 CDRs (complementarity determining regions), CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3, chimeric in a framework sequence. In the IMGT nomenclature, the different numbers of TRAV and TRBV refer to different types of V α and V β, respectively. In the IMGT system, the α chain constant domain has the following symbols: TRAC 01, wherein "TR" denotes a T cell receptor gene; "A" represents an alpha chain gene; c represents a constant region; ". 01" indicates allele 1. The beta-strand constant domain has the following symbols: TRBC1 x 01 or TRBC2 x 01, wherein "TR" denotes a T cell receptor gene; "B" represents a beta chain gene; c represents a constant region; ". 01" indicates allele 1. The constant region of the alpha chain is uniquely defined, and in the form of the beta chain, there are two possible constant region genes, "C1" and "C2". The constant region gene sequences of the TCR alpha and beta chains can be obtained by those skilled in the art from published IMGT databases.
The α and β chains of a TCR are generally regarded as having two "domains" each, namely a variable domain and a constant domain. The variable domain is composed of linked variable regions and linked regions. Thus, in the description and claims of this application, the "TCR α chain variable domain" refers to the linked TRAV and TRAJ regions, and likewise the "TCR β chain variable domain" refers to the linked TRBV and TRBD/TRBJ regions. The 3 CDRs of the TCR α chain variable domain are CDR1 α, CDR2 α and CDR3 α, respectively; the 3 CDRs of the TCR β chain variable domain are CDR1 β, CDR2 β and CDR3 β, respectively. The framework sequences of the TCR variable domains of the invention may be murine or human, preferably human. The constant domain of the TCR comprises an intracellular portion, a transmembrane region, and an extracellular portion. To obtain soluble TCRs, in order to determine the affinity between the TCR and the FMNKFIYEI-HLA a2 complex, the inventive TCR preferably does not comprise a transmembrane region. More preferably, the amino acid sequence of the TCR of the invention refers to the extracellular amino acid sequence of the TCR.
The TCR sequences used in the present invention are of human origin. The alpha chain amino acid sequence and the beta chain amino acid sequence of the wild-type TCR are respectively SEQ ID NO:82 and SEQ ID NO: 83 as shown in fig. 12a and 12 b. The alpha chain amino acid sequence and the beta chain amino acid sequence of the reference TCR are respectively SEQ ID NO 43 and SEQ ID NO:44 as shown in fig. 8a and 8 b. The extracellular amino acid sequences of the alpha chain and the beta chain of the wild-type TCR are respectively SEQ ID NO:80 and SEQ ID NO: 81 as shown in fig. 11a and 11 b. In the present invention, the amino acid sequences of the α and β chain variable domains of the wild-type TCR capable of binding FMNKFIYEI-HLA A0201 complex are SEQ ID NO:1 and SEQ ID NO:2 as shown in fig. 1a and 1 b. In the present invention, the terms "polypeptide of the invention", "TCR of the invention", "T cell receptor of the invention" are used interchangeably.
Natural interchain disulfide bond and artificial interchain disulfide bond
A set of disulfide bonds, referred to herein as "native interchain disulfide bonds," exist between the C α and C β chains of the membrane proximal region of native TCRs. In the present invention, the artificially introduced interchain covalent disulfide bond whose position is different from that of the natural interchain disulfide bond is referred to as an "artificial interchain disulfide bond".
For convenience of description, the amino acid sequences of TRAC 01 and TRBC1 × 01 or TRBC2 × 01 are position-numbered in the order from the N-terminus to the C-terminus, such as TRBC1 × 01 or TRBC2 × 01, and the 60 th amino acid is P (proline) in the order from the N-terminus to the C-terminus, and thus it may be described as TRBC1 × 01 or TRBC2 × 01 exon 1 Pro60 in the invention, or TRBC1 × 01 or TRBC2 × 01 exon 1, and as TRBC1 × 01 or TRBC2 × 01, and the 61 st amino acid is Q (glutamine) in the order from the N-terminus to the C-terminus, and thus it may be described as TRBC1 × 01 or TRBC2, and as glbc 8201 or TRBC 8536. In the present invention, the position numbering of the amino acid sequences of the variable regions TRAV and TRBV follows the position numbering listed in IMGT. If an amino acid in TRAV, the position listed in IMGT is numbered 46, it is described herein as the 46 th amino acid of TRAV, and so on. In the present invention, the sequence position numbers of other amino acids are specifically described.
Tumor(s)
The term "tumor" is meant to include all types of cancer cell growth or carcinogenic processes, metastatic or malignantly transformed cells, tissues or organs, regardless of the type of pathology or the stage of infection. Examples of tumors include, but are not limited to: solid tumors, soft tissue tumors, and metastatic lesions. Examples of solid tumors include: malignancies of different organ systems, such as sarcomas, squamous carcinomas of the lung and cancers. For example: infected prostate, lung, breast, lymph, gastrointestinal (e.g., colon), and genitourinary tract (e.g., kidney, epithelial cells), pharynx. Squamous carcinoma of the lung includes malignant tumors, such as, for example, most cancers of the colon, rectum, renal cell, liver, lung, small cell, small intestine and esophagus. Metastatic lesions of the above-mentioned cancers can likewise be treated and prevented using the methods and compositions of the present invention.
Detailed Description
It is well known that the α chain variable domain and β chain variable domain of a TCR each contain 3 CDRs, similar to the complementarity determining regions of an antibody. CDR3 interacts with antigen short peptides, CDR1 and CDR2 interact with HLA. Thus, the CDRs of the TCR molecule determine their interaction with the antigen short peptide-HLA complex. The amino acid sequences of the alpha chain variable domain and the amino acid sequence of the beta chain variable domain of the wild-type TCR capable of binding antigen short peptide FMNKFIYEI to HLA a0201 complex (i.e., FMNKFIYEI-HLA a0201 complex) are SEQ ID NO:1 and SEQ ID NO:2, the sequence is discovered by the inventor for the first time.

Further, the TCR of the invention is an α β heterodimeric TCR, the α chain variable domain of which comprises at least 90% of the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID No. 1; preferably, at least 92%; more preferably, at least 94% (e.g., can be at least 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% sequence homology) of sequence homology of amino acid sequence; and/or the β chain variable domain of the TCR comprises at least 90%, preferably at least 92%, of the amino acid sequence set forth as SEQ ID No. 2; more preferably, at least 94% (e.g., may be at least 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% sequence homology) of sequence homology.
Further, the TCR of the invention is a single chain TCR, the α chain variable domain of which comprises at least 85%, preferably at least 90% of the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID No. 3; more preferably, at least 92%; most preferably, at least 94% (e.g., can be at least 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% sequence homology) of sequence homology; and/or the β chain variable domain of the TCR comprises at least 85%, preferably at least 90% of the amino acid sequence set forth as SEQ ID No. 4; more preferably, at least 92%; most preferably, at least 94%; (e.g., can be at least 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% sequence homology) of sequence homology.

The amino acid sequence of the reference TCR, which is shown in figures 8a and 8b, respectively, was obtained by mutating Thr48 of exon 1 of the α chain constant region TRAC 01 of the wild-type TCR to cysteine and Ser57 of exon 1 of the β chain constant region TRBC1 x 01 or TRBC2 x 01 to cysteine, according to site-directed mutagenesis methods well known to those skilled in the art, with the mutated cysteine residues shown in bold letters. The cysteine substitutions described above enable artificial interchain disulfide bonds to be formed between the constant regions of the α and β chains of the reference TCR to form a more stable soluble TCR, enabling more convenient assessment of binding affinity and/or binding half-life between the TCR and the FMNKFIYEI-HLA a2 complex. It will be appreciated that the CDR regions of the TCR variable region determine their affinity for the pMHC complex and therefore cysteine substitutions in the TCR constant region as described above do not have an effect on the binding affinity and/or binding half-life of the TCR. Therefore, in the present invention, the measured binding affinity between the reference TCR and the FMNKFIYEI-HLA A0201 complex is considered to be the binding affinity between the wild-type TCR and the FMNKFIYEI-HLA A0201 complex. Similarly, if the binding affinity between the inventive TCR and the FMNKFIYEI-HLA A0201 complex is determined to be at least 10 times greater than the binding affinity between the reference TCR and the FMNKFIYEI-HLA A0201 complex, i.e. equivalent to the binding affinity between the inventive TCR and the FMNKFIYEI-HLA A0201 complex being at least 10 times greater than the binding affinity between the wild-type TCR and the FMNKFIYEI-HLA A0201 complex.
Binding affinity (equilibrium constant K to dissociation) can be determined by any suitable methodDInversely proportional) and binding half-life (denoted T)1/2). Such as by surface plasmon resonance. It will be appreciated that doubling the affinity of the TCR will result in KDAnd (4) halving. T is1/2Calculated as In2 divided by dissociation rate (K)off). Thus, T1/2Doubling can result in KoffAnd (4) halving. Preferably, the binding affinity or binding half-life of a given TCR is measured several times, e.g. 3 times or more, using the same assay protocol, and the results are averaged. In a preferred embodiment, the surface plasmon resonance (BIAcore) method of the examples herein is used to detect the affinity of soluble TCRs, provided that: the temperature is 25 ℃, and the PH value is 7.1-7.5. The method detects ginsengDissociation equilibrium constant K compared to TCR vs FMNKFIYEI-HLA A2 complexD9.89E-06M, i.e., 9.89. mu.M, the dissociation equilibrium constant K of the wild-type TCR for the FMNKFIYEI-HLA A2 complex is considered hereinDAlso 9.89. mu.M.

The mutation may be performed using any suitable method, including but not limited to those based on Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), cloning based on restriction enzymes, or Ligation Independent Cloning (LIC) methods. These methods are detailed in a number of standard molecular biology texts. For more details on Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) mutagenesis and Cloning by restriction enzymes, see Sambrook and Russell, (2001) Molecular Cloning-A Laboratory Manual (third edition) CSHL Press. More information on the LIC method can be found (Rashtchian, (1995) Curr Opin Biotechnol 6(1): 30-6).
The method of producing the TCRs of the invention may be, but is not limited to, screening a diverse library of phage particles displaying such TCRs for a TCR with high affinity for the FMNKFIYEI-HLA-A2 complex, as described in the literature (Li, et al (2005) Nature Biotech 23(3): 349-354).
It will be appreciated that genes expressing the α and β chain variable domain amino acids of a wild type TCR, or genes expressing slightly modified α and β chain variable domain amino acids of a wild type TCR, may be used to make a template TCR. The alterations required to produce the high affinity TCRs of the invention are then introduced into the DNA encoding the variable domains of the template TCR.
The high affinity TCR of the invention comprises one of the alpha chain variable domain amino acid sequences SEQ ID NO 45-51 and/or one of the beta chain variable domain amino acid sequences SEQ ID NO 52-79. Thus, a TCR α chain comprising the α chain variable domain amino acid sequence of a wild-type TCR (SEQ ID NO:1) can be combined with a TCR β chain comprising one of SEQ ID NOS: 52-79 to form a heterodimeric TCR or single chain TCR molecule. Alternatively, a TCR β chain containing the β variable domain amino acid sequence of a wild-type TCR (SEQ ID NO:2) can be combined with a TCR α chain comprising one of SEQ ID NOS: 45-51 to form a heterodimeric TCR or single chain TCR molecule. Still alternatively, a TCR α chain comprising one of the TCR α chain variable domain amino acid sequences SEQ ID NOS: 45-51 can be combined with a TCR β chain comprising one of the TCR β chain variable domain amino acid sequences SEQ ID NOS: 52-79 to form a heterodimeric TCR or single chain TCR molecule. In the present invention, the amino acid sequences of the α chain variable domain and the β chain variable domain that form the heterodimeric TCR molecule are preferably selected from table 1 below:
TABLE 1
Figure BDA0002170066090000181
Figure BDA0002170066090000191
For the purposes of the present invention, the inventive TCRs are moieties having at least one TCR α and/or TCR β chain variable domain. They typically comprise both a TCR α chain variable domain and a TCR β chain variable domain. They may be α β heterodimers or single chain forms or any other form that is stable. In adoptive immunotherapy, the entire long chain (containing both cytoplasmic and transmembrane domains) of an α β heterodimeric TCR can be transfected. The TCRs of the invention are useful as targeting agents for delivering therapeutic agents to antigen presenting cells or in combination with other molecules to produce bifunctional polypeptides for targeting effector cells, where the TCRs are preferably in soluble form.
For stability, it is disclosed in the prior art that the introduction of an artificial interchain disulfide bond between the α and β chain constant domains of a TCR enables soluble and stable TCR molecules to be obtained, as described in patent document PCT/CN 2015/093806. Thus, the inventive TCR may be one in which an artificial interchain disulfide bond is introduced between residues of the constant domains of its alpha and beta chains. Cysteine residues form an artificial interchain disulfide bond between the alpha and beta chain constant domains of the TCR. Cysteine residues may be substituted for other amino acid residues at appropriate positions in native TCRs to form artificial interchain disulfide bonds. For example, a substitution of Thr48 for exon 1 of TRAC × 01 and a substitution of Ser57 for exon 1 of TRBC1 × 01 or TRBC2 × 01 form disulfide bonds. Other sites for introducing cysteine residues to form disulfide bonds may also be: thr45 and TRBC1 × 01 of TRAC × 01 exon 1 or Ser77 of TRBC2 × 01 exon 1; tyr10 and TRBC1 x 01 of exon 1 of TRAC x 01 or Ser17 of exon 1 of TRBC2 x 01; thr45 and TRBC1 × 01 of TRAC × 01 exon 1 or Asp59 of TRBC2 × 01 exon 1; ser15 and TRBC1 × 01 of TRAC × 01 exon 1 or Glu15 of TRBC2 × 01 exon 1; arg53 and TRBC1 × 01 of TRAC × 01 exon 1 or Ser54 of TRBC2 × 01 exon 1; pro89 and TRBC1 and 01 of exon 1 of TRAC 01 or Ala19 of exon 1 of TRBC2 and 01; or Tyr10 and TRBC1 and 01 of TRAC 01 exon 1 or Glu20 of TRBC2 and 01 exon 1. I.e., a cysteine residue, in place of any of the above-described alpha and beta chain constant domains. The TCR constant domains of the invention may be truncated at one or more of their C-termini by up to 15, or up to 10, or up to 8 or fewer amino acids, so as not to include cysteine residues for the purpose of deleting the native interchain disulphide bond, or by mutating the cysteine residues forming the native interchain disulphide bond to another amino acid.
As described above, the TCRs of the invention may comprise an artificial interchain disulfide bond introduced between residues of the constant domains of their alpha and beta chains. It should be noted that the TCRs of the invention may each contain both TRAC constant domain sequences and TRBC1 or TRBC2 constant domain sequences, with or without the artificial disulfide bonds introduced as described above between the constant domains. The TRAC constant domain sequence and TRBC1 or TRBC2 constant domain sequences of the TCR may be linked by the native interchain disulfide bonds present in the TCR.
In addition, for stability, patent document PCT/CN2016/077680 also discloses that the introduction of an artificial interchain disulfide bond between the α chain variable region and the β chain constant region of the TCR can significantly improve the stability of the TCR. Thus, the high affinity TCRs of the invention may also contain an artificial interchain disulfide bond between the α chain variable region and the β chain constant region. Specifically, the cysteine residues that form the artificial interchain disulfide bond between the α chain variable region and the β chain constant region of the TCR are substituted for: amino acid 46 of TRAV and amino acid 60 of exon 1 of TRBC1 x 01 or TRBC2 x 01; amino acid 47 of TRAV and amino acid 61 of exon 1 of TRBC1 x 01 or TRBC2 x 01; amino acid 46 of TRAV and amino acid 61 of TRBC1 x 01 or TRBC2 x 01 exon 1; or amino acid 47 of TRAV and amino acid 60 of exon 1 of TRBC1 x 01 or TRBC2 x 01. Preferably, such a TCR may comprise (i) all or part of a TCR α chain, excluding its transmembrane domain, and (ii) all or part of a TCR β chain, excluding its transmembrane domain, wherein (i) and (ii) both comprise the variable domain and at least part of the constant domain of the TCR chain, the α chain forming a heterodimer with the β chain. More preferably, such a TCR may comprise the a chain variable domain and the β chain variable domain and all or part of the β chain constant domain, excluding the transmembrane domain, but which does not comprise the a chain constant domain, the a chain variable domain of the TCR forming a heterodimer with the β chain.
For stability, on the other hand, the inventive TCRs also include TCRs having mutations in their hydrophobic core region, preferably mutations that improve the stability of the inventive TCRs, as described in the patent publication WO 2014/206304. Such TCRs may be mutated at the following variable domain hydrophobic core positions: (alpha and/or beta chain) variable region amino acid positions 11, 13, 19, 21, 53, 76, 89, 91, 94, and/or positions 3,5,7 of the reciprocal amino acid position of the short peptide of the alpha chain J gene (TRAJ), and/or positions 2,4,6 of the reciprocal amino acid position of the short peptide of the beta chain J gene (TRBJ), wherein the position numbering of the amino acid sequence is according to the position numbering listed in the International immunogenetic information System (IMGT). The above-mentioned international system of immunogenetics information is known to the skilled person and the position numbering of the amino acid residues of the different TCRs in IMGT can be derived from this database.
More specifically, the TCR with the mutated hydrophobic core region of the invention can be a high stability single chain TCR with a flexible peptide chain connecting the variable domains of the α and β chains of the TCR. The CDR regions of the variable region of the TCR determine the affinity with the short peptide-HLA complex, and the mutation of the hydrophobic core can stabilize the TCR without affecting the affinity with the short peptide-HLA complex. It should be noted that the flexible peptide chain of the present invention can be any peptide chain suitable for linking the TCR α and β chain variable domains. The template chain for screening high affinity TCR constructed in example 1 of the present invention is the above-described high stability single chain TCR comprising the hydrophobic core mutation. Using a TCR with higher stability, the affinity between the TCR and the FMNKFIYEI-HLA-A0201 complex can be more conveniently assessed.
The CDR regions of the alpha chain variable domain and the beta chain variable domain of the single-chain template TCR are completely identical to the CDR regions of the wild-type TCR. That is, the 3 CDRs of the α chain variable domain are CDR1 α: VGISA, CDR2 α: the LSSGK is used for carrying out the operation of the system,
CDR3 α: AVETSYDKVI and the 3 CDRs of the β chain variable domain are CDR1 β: SGHVS, CDR2 β: FNYEAQ, CDR3 β: ASSYGAGGPLDTQY are provided. The amino acid sequence (SEQ ID NO:41) and the nucleotide sequence (SEQ ID NO:42) of the single-chain template TCR are shown in FIGS. 7a and 7b, respectively. Thus, a single-chain TCR composed of an alpha chain variable domain and a beta chain variable domain having high affinity for the FMNKFIYEI-HLA A0201 complex was selected.
The single-chain template TCR alpha chain variable domain SEQ ID NO:3, namely CDR1, CDR2 and CDR3 are located in SEQ ID NO:3 from bits 27-31, from bits 49-55, and from bits 90-102. Accordingly, the amino acid residue numbering is as shown in SEQ ID NO 3, with 27V being the 1 st position V of CDR1 α, 29I being the 3 rd position I of CDR1 α, 30S being the 4 th position S of CDR1 α, 50S being the 2 nd position S of CDR2 α, 51S being the 3 rd position S of CDR2 α, 52G being the 4 th position G of CDR2 α, 53K being the 5 th position K of CDR2 α, 92S being the 5 th position S of CDR3 α, and 93Y being the 5 th position Y of CDR3 α.
Similarly, the single-chain template TCR beta chain variable domain SEQ ID NO:4, namely CDR1, CDR2 and CDR3, are located in SEQ ID NO:2 from bits 27-31, from bits 49-54, and from bits 93-102. Thus, the amino acid residue numbering is as shown in SEQ ID NO 4, 52E is the 4 th E of CDR2 β, 53A is the 5 th A of CDR2 β, 54Q is the 6 th Q of CDR2 β, 95S is the 3 rd S of CDR3 β, 96Y is the 4 th Y of CDR3 β, 97G is the 5 th G of CDR3 β, 98A is the 6 th A of CDR3 β, 103D is the 3 rd D of CDR11 β, 104T is the 12 th T of CDR3 β, 106Y is the 14 th Y of CDR3 β.
The α β heterodimer having high affinity for the FMNKFIYEI-HLA-A0201 complex of the present invention was obtained by transferring the CDR regions of the α and β chain variable domains of the selected high affinity single-chain TCR to the corresponding positions of the α chain variable domain (SEQ ID NO:1) and β chain variable domain (SEQ ID NO:2) of the wild-type TCR. And a part of the CDR region is obtained by artificially combining the mutation sites of the CDR regions obtained by screening.
The high affinity TCR of the invention further comprises one of the alpha chain variable domain amino acid sequences SEQ ID NO 9-13 and/or one of the beta chain variable domain amino acid sequences SEQ ID NO 14-40. Thus, the highly stable single chain TCR α chain variable domain (SEQ ID NO:3) described above as a template chain can be combined with a TCR β chain variable domain having an amino acid sequence of one of SEQ ID NO:14-40 to form the single chain TCR molecule. Alternatively, the high stability single chain TCR beta chain variable domain (SEQ ID NO:4) as the template chain can be combined with a TCR alpha chain variable domain having an amino acid sequence of one of SEQ ID NO:9-13 to form the single chain TCR molecule. Still alternatively, the TCR α chain variable domain SEQ ID NO:9-13 in combination with one of the TCR β chain variable domains SEQ ID NOs 14-40 form the single chain TCR molecule. In the present invention, the amino acid sequences of the α chain variable domain and the β chain variable domain of the high affinity single chain TCR molecule are preferably selected from table 2 below:

The TCRs of the invention may also be provided in the form of multivalent complexes. Multivalent TCR complexes of the invention comprise polymers formed by association of two, three, four or more TCRs of the invention, such as might be produced as a tetramer using the tetrameric domain of p53, or a complex formed by association of a plurality of TCRs of the invention with another molecule. The TCR complexes of the invention can be used to track or target cells presenting a particular antigen in vitro or in vivo, and can also be used to generate intermediates for other multivalent TCR complexes having such applications.
The TCRs of the invention may be used alone or in covalent or other association, preferably covalently, with a conjugate. The conjugates include a detectable label (for diagnostic purposes, wherein the TCR is used to detect the presence of cells presenting the FMNKFIYEI-HLA-a0201 complex), a therapeutic agent, a PK (protein kinase) modifying moiety, or a combination of any of the above.
Detectable labels for diagnostic purposes include, but are not limited to: a fluorescent or luminescent label, a radioactive label, an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) or CT (computed tomography) contrast agent, or an enzyme capable of producing a detectable product.

Natl. Acad. Sci. USA (PNAS)89, 1428; Card et al, 2004, Cancer Immunology and Immunotherapy)53, 345; Halin et al, 2003, Cancer Research 63, 3202); 4. antibody Fc fragment (Mosquera et al, 2005, Journal Of Immunology 174, 4381); 5. antibody scFv fragments (Zhu et al, 1995, International Journal of Cancer 62,319); 6. gold nanoparticles/nanorods (Lapotko et al, 2005, Cancer letters 239, 36; Huang et al, 2006, Journal of the American Chemical Society 128, 2115); 7. viral particles (Peng et al, 2004, Gene therapy 11, 1234); 8. liposomes (Mamot et al, 2005, Cancer research 65, 11631); 9. nano magnetic particles; 10. prodrug activating enzymes (e.g., DT-diaphorase (DTD) or biphenyl hydrolase-like protein (BPHL)); 11. chemotherapeutic agents (e.g., cisplatin) or nanoparticles in any form, and the like.
Antibodies or fragments thereof that bind to the TCRs of the invention include anti-T cell or NK-cell determining antibodies, such as anti-CD 3 or anti-CD 28 or anti-CD 16 antibodies, whose binding to the TCR directs effector cells to better target cells. A preferred embodiment is the binding of a TCR of the invention to an anti-CD 3 antibody or a functional fragment or variant of said anti-CD 3 antibody. Specifically, the fusion molecule of the TCR and the anti-CD 3 single chain antibody comprises TCR alpha chain variable domain amino acid sequences SEQ ID NO 9-13, 45-51 selected from the group and/or TCR beta chain variable domain amino acid sequences SEQ ID NO 14-40, 52-79 selected from the group.
The invention also relates to nucleic acid molecules encoding the inventive TCRs. The nucleic acid molecules of the invention may be in the form of DNA or in the form of RNA. The DNA may be the coding strand or the non-coding strand. For example, a nucleic acid sequence encoding a TCR of the present invention may be identical to or a degenerate variant of a nucleic acid sequence as set out in the figures of the present invention. By way of illustration of the meaning of "degenerate variant", as used herein, is meant a nucleic acid sequence which encodes a protein sequence having SEQ ID NO:41, but differs from the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 42.
The full-length sequence of the nucleic acid molecule of the present invention or a fragment thereof can be obtained by, but not limited to, PCR amplification, recombination, or artificial synthesis. At present, DNA sequences encoding the TCRs of the invention (or fragments or derivatives thereof) have been obtained entirely by chemical synthesis. The DNA sequence may then be introduced into various existing DNA molecules (or vectors, for example) and cells known in the art.
The invention also relates to vectors comprising the nucleic acid molecules of the invention, as well as genetically engineered host cells with the vectors or coding sequences of the invention.
The invention also includes isolated cells, particularly T cells, expressing a TCR of the invention. There are many methods suitable for T cell transfection using DNA or RNA encoding the high affinity TCRs of the invention (e.g., Robbins et al, (2008) J.Immunol.180: 6116-. T cells expressing the high affinity TCRs of the invention may be used for adoptive immunotherapy. Those skilled in the art will be able to recognize many suitable methods for adoptive therapy (e.g., Rosenberg et al, (2008) Nat Rev Cancer8 (4): 299-308).
The invention also provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and a TCR of the invention, or a TCR complex of the invention, or a cell presenting a TCR of the invention.
The invention also provides a method of treating a disease comprising administering to a subject in need thereof an amount of a TCR of the invention, or a TCR complex of the invention, or a cell presenting a TCR of the invention, or a pharmaceutical composition of the invention.
It should be understood that the amino acid names herein are given by the international single english letter designation, and the three english letters abbreviation corresponding to the amino acid names are: ala (A), Arg (R), Asn (N), Asp (D), Cys (C), Gln (Q), Glu (E), Gly (G), His (H), Ile (I), Leu (L), Lys (K), Met (M), Phe (F), Pro (P), Ser (S), Thr (T), Trp (W), Tyr (Y) and Val (V); in the present invention, Pro60 or 60P both represent proline at position 60. In addition, the expression of a specific form of the mutation described in the present invention is such that "V27A/P" represents that V at position 27 is substituted by A or by P, and similarly, "I29L" represents that I at position 29 is substituted by L. Others may be analogized.
In the art, substitutions with amino acids of similar or similar properties will not generally alter the function of the protein. Addition of one or several amino acids at the C-terminus and/or N-terminus will not generally alter the structure and function of the protein. Thus, the TCR of the invention also includes TCRs in which up to 5, preferably up to 3, more preferably up to 2, most preferably 1 amino acid (especially outside the CDR regions) of the TCR of the invention has been replaced by amino acids of similar or analogous nature, and still retain its functionality.
The invention also includes TCRs that are slightly modified from the TCRs of the invention. Modified (generally without altering primary structure) forms include: chemically derivatized forms of the inventive TCR, such as acetylation or carboxylation. Modifications also include glycosylation, such as those that result from glycosylation modifications made during synthesis and processing or during further processing steps of the inventive TCR. Such modification may be accomplished by exposing the TCR to an enzyme that effects glycosylation, such as mammalian glycosylase or deglycosylase. Modified forms also include sequences having phosphorylated amino acid residues (e.g., phosphotyrosine, phosphoserine, phosphothreonine). Also included are TCRs that have been modified to improve their resistance to proteolysis or to optimize solubility.
The TCR of the invention, the TCR complex or the TCR-transfected T cell of the invention may be provided in a pharmaceutical composition together with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The TCRs, multivalent TCR complexes or cells of the invention are typically provided as part of a sterile pharmaceutical composition, which typically includes a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The pharmaceutical composition may be in any suitable form (depending on the desired method of administration to the patient). It may be provided in unit dosage form, typically in a sealed container, and may be provided as part of a kit. Such kits (but not necessarily) include instructions for use. It may comprise a plurality of said unit dosage forms.
In addition, the TCRs of the invention may be used alone, or in combination or coupling with other therapeutic agents (e.g., formulated in the same pharmaceutical composition).
The pharmaceutical composition may further comprise a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The term "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier" refers to a carrier for administration of a therapeutic agent. The term refers to such pharmaceutical carriers: they do not themselves induce the production of antibodies harmful to the individual receiving the composition and are not unduly toxic after administration. Such vectors are well known to those of ordinary skill in the art. A thorough discussion of pharmaceutically acceptable excipients can be found in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences (Mack pub. co., n.j.1991). Such vectors include (but are not limited to): saline, buffer, glucose, water, glycerol, ethanol, adjuvants, and combinations thereof.
Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers in therapeutic compositions can comprise liquids such as water, saline, glycerol and ethanol. In addition, auxiliary substances, such as wetting or emulsifying agents, pH buffering substances and the like may also be present in these carriers.
Generally, the therapeutic compositions can be prepared as injectables, e.g., as liquid solutions or suspensions; solid forms suitable for constitution with a solution or suspension, or liquid carrier, before injection, may also be prepared.
Once formulated, the compositions of the present invention may be administered by conventional routes including, but not limited to: intraocular, intramuscular, intravenous, subcutaneous, intradermal, or topical administration, preferably parenteral including subcutaneous, intramuscular, or intravenous. The subject to be prevented or treated may be an animal; especially a human.
When the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention is used for practical treatment, various dosage forms of the pharmaceutical composition may be used depending on the use case. Preferably, injections, oral agents and the like are exemplified.
These pharmaceutical compositions may be formulated by mixing, dilution or dissolution according to a conventional method, and occasionally, suitable pharmaceutical additives such as excipients, disintegrants, binders, lubricants, diluents, buffers, isotonic agents (isotonicities), preservatives, wetting agents, emulsifiers, dispersants, stabilizers and solubilizing agents are added, and the formulation process may be carried out in a conventional manner according to the dosage form.
The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention may also be administered in the form of sustained release formulations. For example, the inventive TCR may be incorporated into a pellet or microcapsule carried by a slow release polymer, which pellet or microcapsule is then surgically implanted into the tissue to be treated. As examples of the sustained-release polymer, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, polyhydroxymethacrylate, polyacrylamide, polyvinylpyrrolidone, methylcellulose, lactic acid polymer, lactic acid-glycolic acid copolymer and the like can be exemplified, and biodegradable polymers such as lactic acid polymer and lactic acid-glycolic acid copolymer can be preferably exemplified.
When the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention is used for practical treatment, the TCR or TCR complex of the present invention or the cells presenting the TCR of the present invention as an active ingredient can be determined reasonably according to the body weight, age, sex, degree of symptoms of each patient to be treated, and finally the reasonable amount is decided by a physician.
The main advantages of the invention are:
(1) the affinity and/or binding half-life of the inventive TCR to the FMNKFIYEI-HLA-a2 complex is at least 2-fold, preferably at least 10-fold that of the wild-type TCR.
(2) The affinity and/or binding half-life of the inventive TCR to the FMNKFIYEI-HLA-a2 complex is at least 100-fold, preferably at least 500-fold, more preferably up to 10-fold that of the wild-type TCR3-5*104And (4) doubling.
(3) Effector cells transduced with the high affinity TCRs of the invention have a strong killing effect on target cells.
The following specific examples further illustrate the invention. It should be understood that these examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. The experimental procedures, for which specific conditions are not indicated in the following examples, are generally carried out according to conventional conditions, for example as described in Sambrook and Russell et al, Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual (third edition) (2001) CSHL Press, or according to the conditions as recommended by the manufacturer. Unless otherwise indicated, percentages and parts are by weight.

Example 1 Generation of Stable Single chain TCR template chains with hydrophobic core mutations

Example 5 Generation of high affinity α β Heterodimeric TCR
The CDR region mutations of the high affinity single chain TCR selected in example 4 were introduced into the corresponding sites of the variable domain of the α β heterodimeric TCR and their affinity for the FMNKFIYEI-HLA-A0201 complex was tested by BIAcore. The introduction of the high affinity mutation points in the CDR regions described above is performed by site-directed mutagenesis methods well known to those skilled in the art. The amino acid sequences of the alpha chain and beta chain variable domains of the wild-type TCR are shown in FIG. 1a (SEQ ID NO:1) and FIG. 1b (SEQ ID NO:2), respectively.
It should be noted that to obtain a more stable soluble TCR for more convenient assessment of binding affinity and/or binding half-life between the TCR and FMNKFIYEI-HLA A0201 complex, the α β heterodimeric TCR may be a TCR in which a cysteine residue is introduced in the constant region of the α and β chains, respectively, to form an artificial interchain disulfide bond, in this example the amino acid sequences of the TCR α and β chains after introduction of the cysteine residue are shown in FIGS. 8a (SEQ ID NO:43) and 8b (SEQ ID NO:44), respectively, and the introduced cysteine residue is shown in bold letters.

Mutations in CDR regions are introduced by overlap pcr (overlap pcr), well known to those skilled in the art. The insert was confirmed by sequencing without error.
Example 6 expression, renaturation and purification of α β heterodimeric TCR
The expression vectors of TCR alpha and beta chains are transformed into expression bacteria BL21(DE3) by chemical transformation method, and the bacteria are grown in LB culture solution and OD600Inclusion bodies formed after expression of the α and β chains of the TCR were extracted by BugBuster Mix (Novagene) and washed repeatedly with BugBuster solution several times at 0.6 final induction with final concentration of 0.5mM IPTG, and finally dissolved in 6M guanidine hydrochloride, 10mM Dithiothreitol (DTT),10mM ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA),20mM Tris (pH 8.1).
The TCR α and β chains after lysis were separated by 1:1 was rapidly mixed in 5M urea, 0.4M arginine, 20mM Tris (pH 8.1),3.7mM cystamine,6.6mM β -mercaptamine (4 ℃) to a final concentration of 60 mg/mL. After mixing, the solution was dialyzed against 10 volumes of deionized water (4 ℃ C.) and after 12 hours, the deionized water was changed to a buffer (20mM Tris, pH8.0) and dialysis was continued at 4 ℃ for 12 hours. The solution after completion of dialysis was filtered through a 0.45. mu.M filter and then purified by an anion exchange column (HiTrap Q HP,5ml, GE Healthcare). The TCR eluted with peaks containing successfully renatured α and β dimers was confirmed by SDS-PAGE gel. The TCR was subsequently further purified by gel filtration chromatography (HiPrep 16/60, Sephacryl S-100HR, GE Healthcare). The purity of the purified TCR was greater than 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE and the concentration was determined by BCA.
Example 7BIAcore analysis results
The affinity of the α β heterodimeric TCR with the FMNKFIYEI-HLA-A0201 complex incorporating the high affinity CDR regions was determined using the method described in example 3.
The CDR regions screened from the high affinity single chain TCR alpha and beta chains are transferred to the corresponding positions of the variable domain SEQ ID NO. 1 and the variable domain SEQ ID NO. 2 of the wild type TCR alpha chain respectively to form the alpha beta heterodimeric TCR. In addition, the mutation sites of the CDR regions obtained by screening are artificially combined to form α β heterodimeric TCR, and the amino acid sequences of the α and β chain variable domains of the novel TCR are shown in FIGS. 9(1) - (7) and 10(1) - (28), respectively. Since the CDR regions of the TCR molecules determine their affinity for the corresponding pMHC complex, one skilled in the art would be able to expect that α β heterodimeric TCRs incorporating high affinity mutations also have high affinity for the FMNKFIYEI-HLA-a0201 complex. Expression vectors were constructed using the method described in example 5, and the α β heterodimeric TCRs introduced with high affinity mutations described above were expressed, renatured, and purified using the method described in example 6, and then their affinity for the FMNKFIYEI-HLA-a0201 complex was determined using BIAcore T200, as shown in table 4 below.
TABLE 4
Figure BDA0002170066090000311
Figure BDA0002170066090000321
As can be seen from Table 4 above, the α β heterodimeric TCR with the CDR region mutation points introduced maintains high affinity for the FMNKFIYEI-HLA-A0201 complex. The affinity of the hetero-dimeric TCR is at least 2-fold greater than the affinity of the wild-type TCR for the FMNKFIYEI-HLA-A0201 complex.

Both batches were subjected to the following experimental procedure: first, an ELISPOT plate was prepared. ELISPOT plate ethanol activation coating, 4 degrees C overnight. Day 1 of the experiment, coating was removed, washed and blocked, incubated at room temperature for two hours, blocking solution removed, and the components of the experiment were added to ELISPOT plates: target cell line 2 x 104One/well, effector cell 103One/well (calculated as positive rate of transfection) and two duplicate wells were set. Incubation overnight (37 ℃, 5% CO)2). On day 2 of the experiment, the plates were washed and subjected to secondary detection and color development, dried, and spots formed on the membrane were counted using an immuno-spot plate READER (ELISPOT READER system; AID20 Co.).
The results of the two batches of experiments are shown in fig. 14a and 14b, respectively, and the effector cells transfected with the high affinity TCR of the invention generate good specific activation effect for the positive target cell line, and the function is far better than that of the effector cells transfected with the wild TCR. While cells transduced other TCRs produced essentially no activation.
Example 11 experiment of LDH killing function of Effector cells transfected with high affinity TCR of the invention
This example demonstrates the killing function of cells transduced with the TCR of the invention by measuring LDH release by non-radioactive cytotoxicity assays. The test is51Colorimetric substitution test for Cr release cytotoxicity test Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) released after cell lysis was quantitatively determined. LDH released in the medium was detected using a 30min coupled enzymatic reaction in which LDH converted a tetrazolium salt (INT) to red formazan (formazan). The amount of red product produced is proportional to the number of cells lysed. 490nm visible absorbance data can be collected using a standard 96-well plate reader. Calculation formula:% cytotoxicity 100 × (experiment-effector cell spontaneous-target cell spontaneous)/(target cell maximal-target cell spontaneous)
Methods for detecting cell function using LDH release assays are well known to those skilled in the art. Followed bySelection of the TCR of the invention transfection of CD3 isolated from blood of healthy volunteers+T cells, as effector cells. The TCRs and their numbering are known from Table 4 as TCR4 (alpha chain variable domain SEQ ID NO:1, beta chain variable domain SEQ ID NO:55), TCR1 (alpha chain variable domain SEQ ID NO:1, beta chain variable domain SEQ ID NO:52), TCR2 (alpha chain variable domain SEQ ID NO:1, beta chain variable domain SEQ ID NO:53), TCR12 (alpha chain variable domain SEQ ID NO:1, beta chain variable domain SEQ ID NO:63) and TCR5 (alpha chain variable domain SEQ ID NO:1, beta chain variable domain SEQ ID NO:56), control group effector cell designations are wild type TCR (cells transfected with wild type TCR) and A6 (cells transfected with other TCRs), respectively. Target cell lines were HepG2, HCCC9810 and SNU-398 cells. Wherein, HepG2 is a positive tumor cell line; HCCC9810 and SNU-398 were negative tumor cell lines as controls.
LDH plates were first prepared. On experiment day 1, the individual components of the experiment were added to the plate: target cell line 3 x 104Individual cells/well, effector cells 3 x 104One cell per well and three duplicate wells were set. Meanwhile, an effector cell spontaneous hole, a target cell maximum hole, a volume correction control hole and a culture medium background control hole are arranged. Incubation overnight (37 ℃, 5% CO)2). On day 2 of the experiment, color development was detected, and after termination of the reaction, the absorbance was recorded at 490nm using a microplate reader (Bioteck).
The experimental results are shown in fig. 15, the cells transduced with the TCR of the present invention all had a strong killing effect on the positive target cells, and the killing effect was much higher than that of the cells transduced with the wild type TCR; while cells transduced with other TCRs had essentially no killing effect on positive target cells.
