Description

本発明はフォンヴィルブランド因子切断酵素(ADAMTS13)の分離精製方法、ADAMTS13含有組成物の製造方法ならびにそれらの用途に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a method for separating and purifying von Willebrand factor cleaving enzyme (ADAMTS13), a method for producing an ADAMTS13-containing composition, and uses thereof.

血栓性血小板減少性紫斑病(thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura; TTP)は、血小板減少、溶血性貧血、動揺性精神神経障害などを特徴とする症候群である。かつては約80%の患者が3ヶ月以内に死亡する予後不良の疾患であった。最近、TTPの病因としてVWF切断酵素(ADAMTS13)の活性低下が報告された。すなわち、後天性のTTPは、VWF切断酵素に対するIgG型インヒビターが産生されることによって酵素活性が低下することが原因であることが明らかにされた(非特許文献1及び2)。また先天的なTTPであるUpshaw-Schulman症候群(USS)では、遺伝的にVWF切断酵素が欠損していることが判明した(非特許文献3)。このVWF切断酵素をコードする遺伝子は、ADAMTS13であることが判明した(非特許文献4及び5)。 Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a syndrome characterized by thrombocytopenia, hemolytic anemia, swaying neuropsychiatric disorder and the like. In the past, about 80% of patients had a poor prognosis that died within 3 months. Recently, decreased activity of VWF-cleaving enzyme (ADAMTS13) has been reported as a cause of TTP. That is, it has been clarified that acquired TTP is caused by a decrease in enzyme activity due to production of an IgG-type inhibitor for a VWF-cleaving enzyme (Non-patent Documents 1 and 2). In addition, it has been found that Upshaw-Schulman syndrome (USS), an innate TTP, is genetically deficient in VWF-cleaving enzyme (Non-patent Document 3). The gene encoding this VWF-cleaving enzyme was found to be ADAMTS13 (Non-patent Documents 4 and 5).

先天性或いは後天性のADAMTS13欠損症の治療は、主に新鮮凍結血漿の輸注或いは血漿交換等によって、予後が大幅に改善されるようになっている。しかしながら、先天性ADAMTS13欠損症患者は約2週間毎に新鮮凍結血漿の輸注を欠かせないことから、輸血副作用が危惧されている。ADAMTS13の濃縮製剤が供給されれば、そのような危惧も大幅に改善されると考えられる。 In the treatment of congenital or acquired ADAMTS13 deficiency, prognosis is greatly improved mainly by infusion or plasma exchange of fresh frozen plasma. However, since patients with congenital ADAMTS13 deficiency must infuse fresh frozen plasma every two weeks, there are concerns about blood transfusion side effects. If a concentrated preparation of ADAMTS13 is supplied, it is considered that such a concern is greatly improved.

ADAMTS13は亜鉛型メタロプロテアーゼで、VWFサブユニットのTyr1605−Met1606結合を特異的に切断する。この酵素は血漿中に約0.5−1μg/mLの濃度で存在するといわれている。この酵素を精製する試みはいくつか報告されている(非特許文献6,7)しかしながら、何れの報告も複雑な工程が必要であり、収率も悪いものであった。そこで簡便な精製方法の開発が望まれていた。   ADAMTS13 is a zinc-type metalloprotease that specifically cleaves the Tyr1605-Met1606 bond of the VWF subunit. This enzyme is said to be present in plasma at a concentration of about 0.5-1 μg / mL. Several attempts to purify this enzyme have been reported (Non-patent Documents 6 and 7). However, each report requires a complicated process and the yield is poor. Therefore, development of a simple purification method has been desired.

免疫吸着体を用いた抗原又は抗体の精製方法は一般的に行われている方法である。その手段は目的物質から不要物の除去、目的物質の精製及び濃縮等に有用である。抗原を担体に固定化した抗原固定化担体を用いて特異抗体を吸着させた後、抗原抗体結合体を酸、アルカリ或いはロダン塩等を用いて解離させ、特異抗体を回収する方法等はよく知られた技術である。また、抗体固定化担体を用いて抗原を吸着させたのち、抗原抗体結合体を解離させて抗原を回収する方法も公知である。この場合には、抗原の性質によって解離剤を選択する必要があることも知られている(非特許文献8)。本発明の目的であるADAMTS13の分離精製方法において、抗ADAMTS13抗体を用いて効率よくADMTS13を含む画分を回収した報告はない。

A method for purifying an antigen or antibody using an immunoadsorbent is a commonly used method. The means is useful for removing unnecessary substances from the target substance, purifying and concentrating the target substance, and the like. A method for recovering a specific antibody by adsorbing a specific antibody using an antigen-immobilized carrier in which an antigen is immobilized on a carrier and then dissociating the antigen-antibody conjugate with an acid, alkali, or rhodan salt, etc. is well known. Technology. A method is also known in which an antigen is adsorbed using an antibody-immobilized carrier and then the antigen-antibody conjugate is dissociated to recover the antigen. In this case, it is also known that it is necessary to select a dissociator depending on the nature of the antigen (Non-patent Document 8). In the method for separating and purifying ADAMTS13, which is the object of the present invention, there is no report of efficiently collecting a fraction containing ADMTS13 using an anti-ADAMTS13 antibody.

After anti-ADAMTS13 antibody was used to bind ADAMTS13 molecule to the antibody, ADAMTS13 was dissociated from the conjugate using water-soluble organic solvent, or high concentration. It was found that a fraction containing ADAMTS13 can be efficiently recovered by dissociation using magnesium chloride, and the present invention was completed.

The method of the present invention using an anti-ADAMTS13 monoclonal antibody (a monoclonal antibody produced from a mouse hybridoma of clone A10, accession number FERM P-20189) will be specifically described.
1. An anti-ADAMTS13 monoclonal antibody (A10 antibody) is immobilized on a commercially available agarose gel by a known method. The amount of antibody to be immobilized is about 1 mg per mL of gel volume. This amount is not particularly limited as described above. The immobilized gel is packed in a column of an appropriate size, equilibrated with a suitable buffer such as 20 mM Tris-HCl buffer containing 0.15 M NaCl, pH 7.4, (TBS buffer), and human citrated plasma Is passed through the column. After passing a predetermined amount of plasma, the column is washed with TBS buffer. Next, TBS buffer containing 40 (v / v)% dimethyl sulfoxide is passed through the column to elute the adsorbed fraction. By this operation, the fraction containing ADAMTS13 is collected.
2. In order to further purify the fraction containing the collected ADAMTS13, the collected fraction was dialyzed against 20 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.4), and DEAE-anion exchanger equilibrated with the same buffer. It was made to adsorb to. The adsorbed column is eluted by changing the salt concentration between 0-0.5M, and the fraction containing ADAMTS13 is collected.
3. In order to further purify the fraction containing ADAMTS13 collected, the fraction collected in the above step 2 is concentrated, and fractionated and purified by molecular sieve chromatography.

A10抗体を5μg/mLの濃度に調製し、各々、1ウエル当たり100μLずつマイクロタイタープレートに添加し、一晩吸着させた後、Tween−20を0.05%含むリン酸緩衝液(以下洗浄液と略す)で5回洗浄し、さらに10%ブロックエース(商品名)を含むリン酸緩衝液でブロッキングしA10抗体固相化プレートを調製した。正常ヒト血漿50μLを固相プレートに添加し、37℃で60分間反応させた後、洗浄液で3回洗浄し、種々の解離剤を含む緩衝液100μLを加え、室温で10分間放置した後、洗浄液で3回洗浄し、ホースラディッシュペルオキシダーゼ(以下HRPと略す)標識した抗ADAMTS13モノクローナル抗体(クローンC7、受託番号 FERM P−20190)を37℃で60分反応させた。この反応の後、洗浄液で4回洗浄し、基質液(o−フェニレンジアミン0.4mg/ml及び0.02%H2
2 を含む)を37℃で15分間反応させた後、この反応を2N硫酸で停止させ、主波長492nmでエライザ用プレートリーダーにて吸光度を測定した。各解離剤の固相抗体に対する影響を相殺するため、正常ヒト血漿を添加する前に、種々の解離剤で処理した後、洗浄後正常ヒト血漿を反応させたものを対照とした。解離剤により解離作用の判定は対照のウエルで得られた吸光度から試験ウエルの吸光度の差を求め、それを対照の吸光度で除した値を比較検討した。その結果を表1に示した。最下段の20mM Tris+1M NaClは解離剤を含まない対照である。解離剤を含まない20mM Tris+1M NaClでは試験ウエルと対照ウエルでの吸光度の差がなく、ウエルにA10抗体を介して捕獲されたADAMTS13がそのまま残存しているのに対して、エチレングリコール或いはジメチルスルオキシドを含む解離剤では対照ウエルの吸光度に比して試験ウエルの吸光度が何れも有意に減じていることから、ウエルに捕獲されているADAMTS13が解離剤によって解離していることが判った。従って、この結果よりエチレングリコール或いはジメチルスルオキシドを含む解離剤を用いてA10抗体−ADAMTS13結合体よりADAMTS13を解離できることが判った。

After adding 50 μL of normal human plasma to a solid phase plate and reacting at 37 ° C. for 60 minutes, washing with a washing solution three times, adding 100 μL of a buffer solution containing various dissociating agents, and allowing to stand at room temperature for 10 minutes, washing solution And anti-ADAMTS13 monoclonal antibody (clone C7, accession number FERM P-20190) labeled with horseradish peroxidase (hereinafter abbreviated as HRP) was reacted at 37 ° C. for 60 minutes. After this reaction, it was washed 4 times with a washing solution, and a substrate solution (o-phenylenediamine 0.4 mg / ml and 0.02% H 2).
(Containing O 2 ) was allowed to react at 37 ° C. for 15 minutes, and then the reaction was stopped with 2N sulfuric acid, and the absorbance was measured with an Eliza plate reader at a main wavelength of 492 nm. In order to offset the influence of each dissociation agent on the solid phase antibody, a treatment with normal human plasma after washing after treatment with various dissociation agents before adding normal human plasma was used as a control. The determination of the dissociation effect by the dissociating agent was carried out by calculating the difference in absorbance of the test well from the absorbance obtained in the control well, and comparing the value obtained by dividing it by the absorbance of the control. The results are shown in Table 1. The bottom 20 mM Tris + 1M NaCl is a control without dissociator. In 20 mM Tris + 1M NaCl containing no dissociator, there is no difference in absorbance between the test well and the control well, and ADAMTS13 captured via the A10 antibody remains in the well, whereas ethylene glycol or dimethyl sulfoxide remains. In the dissociation agent containing, the absorbance of the test wells was significantly reduced as compared to the absorbance of the control wells. Thus, it was found that ADAMTS13 captured in the wells was dissociated by the dissociation agent. Therefore, from this result, it was found that ADAMTS13 can be dissociated from the A10 antibody-ADAMTS13 conjugate using a dissociating agent containing ethylene glycol or dimethyl sulfoxide.
