Description

Anti-human Claudin18.2 antibody and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of biological medicine, in particular to an anti-human Claudin18.2 antibody and application thereof.
Background
In recent years, the incidence and mortality of global cancers are continuously rising, and the global cancers become a serious disease which seriously threatens the life health of human beings and the social development. According to the latest global cancer statistics report, 1810 ten thousand new cases of cancer and 960 ten thousand dead cases of cancer are worldwide in 2018, wherein the incidence rate of gastric cancer is ranked in the fifth place (5.7%), the incidence rate of gastric cancer is ranked in the 103.3 ten thousand, the death rate is ranked in the third place (8.2%), and the death rate is ranked in the 78.2 ten thousand. The incidence of lung cancer is first (11.6%), the number of patients suffering from lung cancer is 209.3 ten thousand, the death rate is also first (18.4%), and the number of deaths is 176.1 ten thousand. Pancreatic cancer incidence rate is 2.5%, incidence rate is 45.8 ten thousand, death rate is 4.5%, and death rate is 43.2 ten thousand. The incidence rate of esophageal cancer is 3.2%, the incidence rate is 57.2 ten thousand, the death rate is 5.3%, and the death rate is 50.8 ten thousand. The national cancer statistics data published by the national cancer center in 1 month of 2019 show that the incidence rate of gastric cancer in 2015 is second in China, the incidence rate of gastric cancer is 40.3 ten thousand, the incidence rate is close to half of the incidence rate of gastric cancer worldwide, the death rate is third, and the death rate is 29.1 ten thousand. The incidence rate and the death rate of lung cancer are the first, the incidence rate and the death rate of 78.7 ten thousand of lung cancer patients and the death rate of 63.1 ten thousand of lung cancer patients. Pancreatic cancer incidence rate is the tenth, mortality rate is the sixth, the number of patients suffering from pancreatic cancer is 9.5 ten thousand, and the number of patients suffering from pancreatic cancer is 8.51 ten thousand. The incidence rate of esophageal cancer is the sixth, the death rate is the fourth, the number of patients suffering from esophageal cancer is 24.6 ten thousand, and the number of dead patients is 18.79 ten thousand.
Tumor attack has been the target of struggle for humans, and tumor treatment approaches include three major traditional techniques: surgical treatment, chemotherapy, radiation therapy. It is an ideal goal to completely remove a tumor while not damaging other normal tissues of the body, which is sometimes achieved by surgical treatment, however the habit of the tumor to infiltrate into its adjacent normal cells or spread to a more distant location makes the surgical treatment effect not very obvious, while chemotherapy and radiation therapy cause certain side effects to normal cells while destroying tumor cells. The antibody treatment has the advantages of strong targeting and low side effect, and is widely applied as a new treatment means.
Antibody treatment is to use a protein specifically expressed on the surface of a tumor cell or an abnormally expressed protein as a target, to block the target by antigen-antibody reaction, to prevent the receptor from acting on its ligand, or to directly kill the tumor cell by ADCC and CDC. Antibody drugs approved by the FDA in the united states, including Alemtuzumab (Alemtuzumab), nivolumab (Nivolumab), rituximab (Rituximab), and Devaluzumab (Durvalumab), etc., are therapeutically effective in this manner.
CLDN 18.2
CLDN 18.2 is a subtype of the CLDNs protein family member CLDN18, playing an important role in cell attachment, and is associated with cell migration, lesions, tumor infiltration and metastasis. The protein consists of 261 amino acids, has four transmembrane domains, two extracellular loops, and the N-and C-termini located in the cell. The regulation of CLDN 18.2 gene expression is not clear at present, and it is mainly believed that after cAMP activating Protein Kinase A (PKA) in tumor cells, activated PKA enters the nucleus, and CREB is activated by amino-terminal kinase-induced domain (KID) phosphorylation, and after being phosphorylated by PKA, the transcriptional activity of CREB increases 10-20 times, causing abnormal expression of CLDN 18.2.
The expression of CLDN 18.2 in humans is tissue specific, in normal tissue cells, only in gastric epithelial cells, whereas CLDN 18.2 is expressed in tight junctions of gastric epithelial cells without exposing epitopes compared to loose cancer cells, so antibodies are not easy to act even if epithelial cells are killed by antibodies, stem cells under epithelial cells can supplement damaged gastric epithelial cells by differentiation, as CLDN 18.2 is not expressed. CLDN 18.2 is highly expressed in certain cancers, such as: high expression in gastric cancer or stomach and esophagus junction cancer, and CLDN 18.2 expression is often observed in pancreatic cancer and lung cancer. CLDN 18.2 is a very potential target because of its differential expression between cancer cells and normal cells.

Depending on the source of the monoclonal antibody, it can be classified into murine antibodies, chimeric antibodies, humanized antibodies and fully human antibodies. The murine antibody is a gene 100% derived from mouse, and the fully human antibody is a gene 100% derived from human. The humanized antibody is obtained by grafting CDR regions of a murine antibody into the framework of a human antibody, and the humanized antibody is mostly human in origin and fused with murine components. Chimeric antibodies contain more murine components because the variable region of a murine antibody is directly linked to the constant region of a human antibody. The antibody of any type can be used for treating human diseases, but the degree of human origin also determines the effect of the antibody, and the fully human antibody is the least rejection and the best safety because it is derived from human self. In one embodiment, the invention uses a whole human phage antibody library to screen for human Claudin18.2 antibodies, which are safer in humans than the chimeric antibody IMAB362 (e.g., US20090169547A 1), humanized antibodies (e.g., WO2020200196A 1).

In one embodiment, the light chain constant region of the antibody includes, but is not limited to, a human antibody k, a lambda-type light chain constant region, or a variant thereof.
In one embodiment, the heavy chain variable region Framework (FR) sequence of the antibody is selected from human germline heavy chain sequences.
In one embodiment, the heavy chain of the antibody comprises a heavy chain constant region of human IgG1, igG2, igG3, igG4, or a variant thereof.
In one embodiment, the antibody is a full length antibody.
In one embodiment, the antibody is an antibody fragment selected from the group consisting of: fab, fab', F (ab) 2, fd, fv, scFv, and scFv-Fc fragments, single chain antibodies, minibodies (minibodies), and diabodies. The term "antibody fragment" refers to a molecule other than an intact antibody that comprises a portion of the intact antibody that binds to an antigen to which the intact antibody binds. Examples of antibody fragments include, but are not limited to Fv, fab, fab ', fab' -SH, F (ab) 2; a diabody; a linear antibody; single chain antibody molecules (e.g., scFv). Papain digestion of antibodies produces two identical antigen-binding fragments, called a "Fab" fragment and a residual "Fc" fragment, a name reflecting the ability to crystallize readily. The Fab fragment consists of one complete light (L) chain (VL) and the variable region domain of the heavy (H) chain (VH) and the first constant domain of the heavy chain (CH 1). Pepsin treatment of the antibody produced a single large F (ab) 2 fragment, which corresponds approximately to two disulfide-linked Fab fragments with bivalent antigen-binding activity, and was still able to crosslink the antigen. Fab fragments differ from the F (ab) 2 fragment in that there are additional residues at the carboxy terminus of the CH1 domain, including one or more cysteines from the antibody hinge region. Fab '-SH is the name given herein to Fab' in which the cysteine residue of the constant domain carries a free thiol group (thiolgroup). The F (ab ') 2 antibody fragment was originally produced as a pair of cysteine Fab' fragments with a hinge between them. Other chemical couplings of other known antibody fragments are also included.
In one embodiment, the antibody is a monoclonal antibody.
In one embodiment, the antibody is a human antibody.
In one embodiment, the antibody is a chimeric antibody.
In one embodiment, the antibody is a bispecific antibody comprising an unmodified (e.g., naturally occurring) Fc fragment or a modified Fc fragment designed to optimize or alternatively eliminate a particular Fc-mediated function.

In the first round of screening, 1mL of CLDN18.2-VLP protein with a concentration of 100. Mu.g/mL was added to the immune tube, the coating was removed overnight at 4 ℃, the coating was discarded the next day, 1% of PBSB was added for 1h, 10 12 antibody pools were added to the total amount after two PBST washes, incubated for 1h, washed 6 times with PBST to remove non-specifically bound phage, then 500. Mu.L of 100mM HCl eluent was added to the immune tube for eluting phage specifically binding to the antigen of interest, and 1.0M Tris-HCl (p H8) was added for neutralization.

Incubate in an incubator at 37℃with 5% CO 2 for 4h. After the incubation, 2. Mu.L of 100X luciferin substrate was added for reaction for 10min, and chemiluminescent detection was performed in an ELISA reader.
FIG. 8A is a graph showing the ADCC effect of the CLDN18.2 antibody on 293T-hCLDIN 18.1-luci cells, showing that the candidate antibodies B1, B9, B35, B41, B50, B78 and the positive control chimeric antibody IMAB362 do not kill 293T-CLDN18.1 cells, indicating that the candidate antibodies do not bind to the CLDN18.1 antigen.
FIG. 8B is a graph showing the ADCC effect of the CLDN18.2 antibody on 293T-hCLDIN 18.2-luci cells, showing that the candidate antibody exhibits a stronger ADCC cell killing effect than the positive control chimeric antibody IMAB362 at the same concentration. Candidate antibodies B9, B41 are similar to IMAB 362. B35, B50 and B78 have lower killing effect.
The foregoing description of the invention has been presented for purposes of illustration and description, and is not intended to be limiting. Several simple deductions, modifications or substitutions may also be made by a person skilled in the art to which the invention pertains, based on the idea of the invention.
