Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of biomedicine or biopharmaceuticals, in particular to an immunoconjugate of an anti-PD 1 antibody and an IL-2 mutant.
Background
Interleukin-2 (IL-2), also known as T Cell Growth Factor (TCGF), is a 15.5kDa globular glycoprotein that plays a central role in lymphopoiesis, survival and homeostasis. It has a length of 133 amino acids and consists of four antiparallel amphipathic alpha helices forming the quaternary structure essential for its function.
IL-2 mediates its actions by binding to the IL-2 receptor (IL-2R), which consists of up to three individual subunits, whose different combinations can produce receptor forms that differ in their affinity for IL-2. The combination of the α (CD 25), β (CD 122) and γ (CD 132) subunits results in trimeric high affinity IL-2 receptors. The dimer medium affinity IL-2 receptor consists of beta and gamma subunits. The alpha subunit forms the monomeric low affinity IL-2 receptor. The affinity of the trimeric high affinity receptor is 100 times that of the dimeric medium affinity receptor, and both dimeric and trimeric IL-2 receptor variants are capable of signaling upon IL-2 binding.
PD-1 (programmed death receptor 1), an important immunosuppressive molecule, is the immunoglobulin superfamily, a membrane protein of 288 amino acid residues. The immunoregulation with PD-1 as a target spot has important significance for resisting tumors, infections, autoimmune diseases, organ transplantation survival and the like. The ligand PD-L1 can also serve as a target point, and the corresponding antibody can also play the same role.
The ability of IL-2 to expand lymphocyte populations in vivo and to increase effector functions of these cells imparts anti-tumor effects to IL-2, making IL-2 immunotherapy an attractive treatment option for certain metastatic cancers. High dose IL-2 therapy has been approved for patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma and malignant melanoma, but IL-2 alone has a short half-life, a narrow therapeutic window, a large toxic side effect, and at the same time stimulates Treg activation, limiting clinical use.
PD1/PDL1 inhibitor is a drug widely applied to tumor immunotherapy at present, but the response rate of patients to PD1/PDL1 inhibitor is found to be low in clinical application, and drug resistance is easy to occur.
Therefore, how to avoid the clinical drawbacks of individual IL-2 molecules and individual PD1 antibodies, and to prepare anticancer drugs, is a problem to be solved.

EXAMPLE 3 IL-2R-IL-2 mutant conjugate binding kinetics Studies
The equilibrium dissociation constants (KD) of the IL-2 mutant conjugates of the invention (mutant numbers see tables 4-1 to 4-3) and their receptors were determined using a biological membrane interferometry (forteBio) assay.
The experimental method comprises the following steps:
ForteBio affinity assay the affinity of candidate IL-2 mutants to IL-2Rα, IL-2Rβ or IL-2Rβγ, respectively, was measured as follows: step 1, the sensor balances for 20 minutes under the line in an analysis buffer solution, and then a baseline is established after 60 seconds of on-line detection; loading Fc fusion expressed IL-2 mutants onto a ProA sensor (Sartorius, 18-5010) for ForteBio affinity; samples of IL-2 mutants loaded with Fc fusion expression were placed in a solution containing 10ug/ml IL-2Rα, IL-2Rβ or IL-2Rβγ until the plateau phase, after which the sensor was transferred to assay buffer for dissociation 300s for binding and dissociation rates. Analysis of kinetics and response values was performed using a 1:1 binding model.
Experimental results:
a) Analysis of the mutant response values of structure 1-form immunoconjugates with IL-2 mutations located at the IL-2rα and/or β binding interfaces are shown in figures 2-3, respectively, and it can be seen from the histogram of the results of figure 2 that IL-2 mutant immunoconjugates made by mutating IL-2 IL-2rα binding interface amino acids exhibit a general decrease or even disappearance of IL-2rα affinity, with only 2 control immunoconjugates: conjugate numbered 1001 (wild-type IL-2, uniprot: P60568, aa21-153), conjugate numbered 1002 (Medicenna Co., MDNA 109) showed higher affinity for IL-2Rα; whereas IL-2rα and β binding interface amino acid mutations did not bring about a general decrease in affinity for IL-2rβ, only IL-2rα with numbers 1003, 1018, 1081, 1082, 1091, 1095, 1097, 1098, 1101, 1121, showed low or even no affinity for IL-2rα, as seen in fig. 3; whereas mutations to the IL-2Rα and β binding interface amino acids did not result in the disappearance of IL-2Rβγ binding capacity.
b) Structure of theIL-2Rα, β binding KD values for form 1 IL-2 mutant conjugates, and IL-2 cell MFI values are reported in Table 5, from which it can be seen that the IL-2 mutant conjugates exhibit a general decrease or even disappearance of IL-2Rα affinity by mutation of one or more of the IL-2Rα binding interface amino acids (see Table 1) of IL-2 in the conjugates, but at the same time the amino acids of the mutant conjugates in which IL-2 is located in the IL-2Rα and β binding interface, are not able to bind the IL-2Rβ to eliminate the binding capacity of the conjugates, and that the IL-2 mutant immunoconjugates shown in Table 5 have affinity to IL-2Rβ and affinity KD values for IL-2 wild type conjugates of 10 -9 There is no defined mutation site or combination that can achieve the effect of attenuation of IL-2. Beta. Affinity. IL-2 mutant conjugates with IL-2R elimination, as well as sets of mutation sites, were obtained based on the above experiments.

EXAMPLE 4 in vitro evaluation of the biological Activity of IL-2 mutant conjugates 1
The binding activity of the IL-2 mutant conjugate to IL-2Rα and PD1 on the cell level is determined by flow cytometry, and IL-2 mutant conjugate which binds to the cell surface PD1 and has IL-2Rα receptor binding elimination type and IL-2 mutant set are screened out. FACS examined binding activity of different constructs of the mutant IL-2 conjugates with SU-DHL-1 cells (ATCC, CRL-2955), GS-J2/PD-1 cells (Gensgript, M00612). An experimental group and a control group were set, wherein the control group was a isotype-independent antibody (isotype). The experimental method comprises the following steps:
after washing with DPBS and centrifuging to remove unbound primary antibody, adding fluorescent secondary antibody anti-human IgG Fcgamma (Jackson, 109-545-008) diluted with DPBS 1:600, and incubating at 4deg.C in the absence of light for 0.5h; after washing and centrifugation of DPBS to remove unbound secondary fluorescent antibody, cells were resuspended with 100. Mu.L/well DPBS, the average fluorescence intensity values of the cells were measured using a flow cytometer (Essen organism, novoCyte 2060R), and the EC50 of IL-2 mutant antibody binding to cells was calculated using GraphPad software, and the binding activity of the antibodies to cells was analyzed.
Experimental results:
a) Binding activity of IL-2 mutant conjugates to IL-2Rα receptor was demonstrated at cellular level using SU-DHL-1 cells, FIG. 4
It can be seen that the constructed IL-2 mutant conjugates successfully eliminate alpha receptor binding, resulting in IL-2 mutant conjugates and IL-2 mutant sets.
b) The function of cell-level validated IL-2 ra receptor binding-abrogating IL-2 mutant conjugates to bind PD1 was analyzed using flow-through binding of GS-J2-PD1 cells, and it can be seen from fig. 5 that the ability of IL-2 mutant conjugates to bind PD1 was unaffected, consistent with the control Keytruda binding ability, indicating that the mutant conjugates did not affect antibody moiety function.
c) Two sets of samples with identical mutations but different structures were compared for binding to PD1 using a flow-through binding assay curve with GS-J2/PD-1 cells
The differences in capacity are shown in FIG. 6 for IL-2 mutation to R38E P65R, but two sets of samples 3006 and 4002 of different structure were analyzed by GS-J2/PD-1 cell flow binding assay, table 5 for EC50 values calculated from the curves, and both the EC50 values shown in FIG. 6 and Table 6 show: under the same conditions as the IL-2 mutation site, the construct of structure 3 has a higher PD1 binding sensitivity than the construct of structure 4.
