Definitions
- the subject of the invention lies in the field of malignant diseases and more specifically in the field of carcinomas, i.e. tumors that originate from epithelial cells.
- the present invention provides new peptides, derived from a widely occurring normal epithelial and carcinoma associated protein, and the use of such peptides in the treatment of cancer patients.
- Pharmaceutical compositions comprising the peptides described above are also disclosed.
- the peptides of the invention are derived from the protein sequence of the human epithelial cell adhesion molecule Ep-CAM and can be used in the prophylaxis or treatment of Ep-CAM positive tumors and other diseases.
- the peptides of Ep-CAM comprise amino acid sequences for use in human T cell response-inducing compositions.
- Ep-CAM human epithelial antigen Ep-CAM
- EGP40, 17-1A antigen, ESA, etc. is a 40 kD transmembrane glyco- protein that is expressed on the majority of simple cuboidal or columnar, pseudo stratified columnar as well as transitional epithelia (2-5) but not on most squamous epithelia.
- Ep-CAM protein is also found on tumors arising from the epithelia expressing Ep-CAM, as well as on most squamous carcinomas where Ep-CAM can be regarded as a "de novo" protein related to the proliferative or malignant state of the cells.
- Ep-CAM protein is a cell adhesion molecule normally expressed on the lateral sides of adjacent epithelial cells (1) .
- the protein is quite conserved in evolution with 86% amino acid homology between human and murine Ep-CAM (6) .
- Ep-CAM has been cloned as the GA733-2 gene (7-9) .
- the expression of the Ep-CAM protein on a wide range of human carcinoma cells have made the protein an attractive target for immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) (10-14) .
- Monoclonal antibodies against Ep-CAM have been used either as "naked” IgGs, as radio conjugates (10, 11), or as immuno- toxins (12), in which antibody was chemically coupled to toxins or cytotoxic drugs. Radio-immunotherapy has also been investigated (14) . From these studies it became apparent that advanced carcinoma cannot be adequately treated with anti-Ep-CAM Mab therapies. However, in a minimal residual disease setting, where tumor loads are low, treatment of patients, at risk for recurrence, with the anti Ep-CAM monoclonal antibody 17-1A was shown to be effective in reducing tumor recurrence, with an improvement in 5 year survival from 50 to 65% in Dukes C colon carcinoma patients, whose primary tumors had been surgically removed (15) .
- ADCC antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity
- an antibody reacting with a normal tissue component can be used safely and effectively to combat tumor cells that carry the antigen recognized by the antibody.
- T cells recognize target cells through a specific receptor- complex called the T cell receptor.
- the actual ligand recognized by the cytotoxic T cell receptor is a peptide, usually consisting of 8-11 amino acids, in association with a Class I Major Histocompatibility (MHC) molecule (reviewed in 17) .
- MHC Major Histocompatibility
- Class I MHC molecules are present on all nucleated cells and can be found in a number of slightly different variants called alleles.
- Each individual human being has a genetically defined limited set of MHC molecules per chromosome, called the haplotype.
- Each type of MHC molecule can bind a distinct set of peptides and cannot bind others that may however be bound by other MHC molecules. Therefore, specific T cells directed against the Ep-CAM molecule that may have developed in a person having a particular haplotype will react with Ep-CAM derived peptides, associated with the particular MHC molecules of that haplotype, that are present on the cell surface of the target cells .
- Ep-CAM peptides that can be used to stimulate the development of Ep-CAM specific cytotoxic T cells, it is necessary to establish which peptides can bind to a given MHC class I allele.
- the frequency of occurrence in the general population of any of the multitude of possible alleles is not random. A few alleles are widely present and the definition of peptides reacting with the 10 most frequently occurring alleles would allow development of peptide-specific cytotoxic T cells in the vast majority of patients.
- the MHC class I molecule HLA-A*0201 is found in approximately 40% of Caucasians and any Ep-CAM peptides that could bind to this particular allele and lead to T cell activation could be useful as a vaccine against Ep-CAM positive tumor cells in HLA-A*0201 positive patients.
- This invention describes peptides comprising amino acid sequences derived from Ep-CAM that have the ability to bind to the MHC class I allele HLA-A*0201 with high affinities and low dissociation rates (19, 20) .
- the peptides were subjected to two assays studying the binding to the HLA-A*0201 molecule and one test investigating the stability of the complex composed of the peptide and the HLA molecule. These assays were aimed at investigating which peptides could possibly be immunogenic. A predisposition for a peptide being immunogenic is that it can bind in the groove of the MHC molecule. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that the immunogenicity of a peptide can be predicted by the peptide- induced stability (21) .
- the first test uses the 174CEM.T2 cell line (abbreviated T2) to determine the capacity of the peptides to bind to HLA-A*0201 molecules.
- T2 cell line has empty HLA-A*0201 molecules on the cell surface that are therefore unstable. As a consequence a reduced presence of these HLA molecules on the cell surface is observed. Binding of peptide will stabilize the HLA-A*0201 molecules and will lead to an enhanced level of HLA-A*0201 molecules on peptide exposed cells. This enhancement can be quantified and can be used to detect peptide binding.
- a second binding assay was performed with the subset of peptides that bound to the T2 cell line.
- the HLA class I-peptide complexes on intact human Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) -transformed B cells were stripped and removed by mild acid treatment.
- the cells were then incubated with a fluorescein (fl) -labeled reference peptide together with different concentrations of the peptide of interest .
- the effectiveness by which the latter competes for binding to the HLA class I molecules is assayed by measuring the amount of HLA-bound fluorescent peptide.
- a third test consisted of measurement of the stability of MHC-peptide complexes as a function of time as compared to the stability of complexes induced by a consensus peptide sequence derived from hepatitis B virus, that is known to be immunogenic. From the combined tests described above 5 peptides were selected that have high binding affinities to and low dissociation rates from the MHC class I allele HLA-A*0201.
- An object of the present invention is to provide synthetic peptides which can be used for prevention, prophylaxis, therapy or treatment of carcinoma patients.
- This invention provides peptides comprising an amino acid sequence derived from the Ep-CAM protein, wherein said amino acid sequence has the ability to bind to a human MHC Class I molecule, such as particularly HLA-A 0201.
- the present invention also provides specific peptides derived from the amino acid sequence of Ep-CAM which, because of their capability to bind to a human MHC Class I molecule, such as particularly the HLA-A 0201 molecule, are candidate peptides to be included in human vaccines that can induce protective or therapeutic T cell responses against Ep-CAM positive tumors.
- the peptides of the present invention are useful in pharmaceutical compositions, as screening tools (diagnostics) and in the prevention, prophylaxis, therapy and treatment of carcinoma or other pathological conditions which could benefit from the peptide-induced CTL reactive to cells exposing the human epithelial antigen Ep-CAM.
- said amino acid sequences have the ability to bind to human MHC Class I allele HLA-A*0201.
- this invention provides peptides comprising an amino acid sequence derived from Ep-CAM, wherein said amino acid sequences have the ability to bind to human MHC Class I allele HLA-A 0201 and are selected from the group consisting of:
- This invention further provides a pharmaceutical composition containing a prophylactically or therapeutically effective amount of a peptide according to the invention, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, diluent, excipient or adjuvant.
- a pharmaceutical composition contains a peptide according to the invention which is able to induce a T cell response effective against Ep-CAM positive tumor cells, in particular a HLA class I-restricted CD8+ cytotoxic T cell response.
- this invention provides a method of prophylactic or therapeutic treatment of Ep-CAM positive carcinoma, comprising administering to said human individual a prophylactically or therapeutically effective amount of a peptide according to the invention which is able to induce a T cell response effective against Ep-CAM positive tumor cells, in particular a HLA class I-restricted CD8+ cytotoxic T cell response.
- the invention is directed to peptides comprising an amino acid sequence derived from proteins of Ep-CAM, wherein said amino acid sequence has the ability to bind to human HLA molecules, such as preferably HLA-A 0201 molecules.
- HLA-A 0201 molecules human HLA molecules
- a most preferred embodiment of the invention concerns peptides comprising an amino acid sequence derived from Ep-CAM, wherein said amino acid sequence has the ability to bind to human MHC Class I allele HLA-A 0201.
- such peptides comprise the following amino acid sequences derived from the noted regions of Ep-CAM (see Table II; the amino acids are identified by the one-letter code of amino acids) .
- HLA-A 0201 binding peptides were found using a set of 306 peptides spanning the whole Ep-CAM protein consisting of 9 amino acids with an overlap of 8 amino acids.
- One 11 mer peptide was found after testing 8 longer and shorter peptides that fulfill the new motif requirements, with Q as second amino acid (Drijfhout, personal communication) .
- Polypeptides that are homologs of the peptides specifically include those having amino acid sequences which are at least 40% conserved in relation to the amino acid sequence set forth in
- Table II preferentially at least about 60% conserved, and more preferentially at least about 75% conserved.
- the peptides shown above or fragments thereof include any variation in the amino acid sequence, whether by conservative amino acid substitution, deletion, or other processes, provided that the polypeptides bind to a human HLA molecule, particularly the HLA-A 0201 molecule.
- the fragments of the peptides may be small peptides with sequences of as little as five or more amino acids, said sequences being derived from those disclosed in Table II, when said fragments bind to HLA- A*0201 molecule.
- Polypeptides larger than the peptides shown are especially included within the scope of the present invention when said polypeptides induce an Ep-CAM specific CTL response, in particular in HLA-A 0201 positive individuals, and include a (partial) amino acid sequence as set forth in Table II, or conservative substitutions thereof.
- Such polypeptides may have a length up to about 30 amino acids, preferably up to about 27 amino acids. Most preferably they have a length of 9 to 11 or 9 to 10 amino acids.
- This invention includes the use of polypeptides generated by every means, whether genetic engineering, peptide synthesis with solid phase techniques or others.
- the foregoing peptides may have various chemical modifications made at the terminal ends and still be within the scope of the present invention. Also other chemical modifications are possible, particularly cyclic, dimeric, polymeric, or tandem repeat configurations .
- the term "derivatives" intends to cover all such modified peptides.
- the polypeptides of the present invention find utility for the treatment of carcinoma or the prevention of cancer or cancer recurrence.
- the peptides are administered in an immunogenic form. Since the peptides are relatively short, this may necessitate conjugation with an immunogenicity conferring carrier material such as lipids or others, or the use of adjuvants .
- polypeptides of this invention will, of course, vary with the group of patients (age, sex, weight, etc), the nature of the severity of the condition to be treated, the particular polypeptide of this invention and its route of administration. Any suitable route of administration may be employed to achieve an effective dosage of a polypeptide identified by this invention, as well as any dosage form well known in the art of pharmacy.
- the polypeptides may also be administered by controlled-release means and/or delivery devices. They may also be administered in combination with other active substances, such as, in particular, T cell-activating agents like interleukin-2 etc.
- the peptides of this invention may also be useful for other purposes, such as diagnostic uses. For example, they may be used to check whether a vaccination with a peptide according to the invention has been successful. This may be performed by in vitro testing whether said peptides are able to activate T cells of the vaccinated person. In addition said peptides may be used in in vitro methods to elicit or to expand HLA*0201 restricted T cells with an HLA-restricted specificity against the Ep-CAM molecule. The T cells generated in vitro can be used for therapy of patients as will be obvious to a person skilled in the art.
- Table I gives the result of the binding analysis of 8 Ep-CAM related, 9 aminoacid long peptides and one 11 mer, to HLA-A*0201 expressed on 174CEM.T2 cells. The results of the additional competition and dissociation tests performed are also shown.
- the peptides presented in Table I include all 9 mer peptides from the overlapping set that bind to the HLA-A*0201 haplotype. Two non-binding peptides are also listed as negative controls. In addition the one peptide (out of 8 tested) with Q as second amino acid that bound to HLA-A*0201 is included. This is the peptide with residues 174-184. The binding of each peptide to the HLA-A*0201 molecule was determined for a range of concentrations. The Fluorescence Index (FI) was calculated for each value. The FI is determined as follows: (mean fluorescence T2 cells + peptide/mean fluorescence T2 cells - peptide) - 1.
- Binding of a peptide to the HLA-A*0201 molecule was regarded positive when the FI was equal to or higher than 0.5 at a concentration of 100 ug peptide per ml medium.

- 174CEM.T2 cells were cultures in ISCOVE's modified Dulbecco's medium (Biochrom KG Seromed, Berlin, Germany: F0465) supplemented with 50 IU/ml penicillin and 50 ug/ml streptomycin (Gibco, Paisley, Scotland: 15070-022), 2mM glutamine (1-glutamin 200mM (lOOx), Gibco, Paisley, Scotland: 25030-024) and 10% fetal calf serum (FCS, Hyclone Laboratories Inc. Logan, Utah, USA: A- 1115-L) . Cells were cultured at a density of 2.5 x 10 5 /ml during 3 days at 37°C, 5% CO 2 in humified air.
- the 174CEM.T2 cell line expresses "empty" and unstable HLA- A*0201 molecules that can be stabilized when a peptide is binding to the peptide presenting groove of these molecules .
- a stabilized HLA-A*0201 molecule that will not easily degrade is the result of binding of an analyzed peptide. This leads to an increase in cell surface expression of the HLA-A*0201 molecule, which can be detected using a fluorescent anti-HLA-A2 antibody.
- 174CEM.T2 cells were washed twice in culture medium without FCS and put in serum-free culture medium to a density of 2 x IO 6 cells/ml.
- FI Fluorescence Index
- the Fluorescence Index of the background fluorescence is 0.
- binding peptides are shown in Table 1 together with 2 non- binding peptides that served as negative controls for the assays. Further analysis of the binding sequences was performed using a competition assay and a stability test. The tests that have been used study either the association of the peptide and HLA, or the dissociation, or both phenomena, respectively. Both association and dissociation of peptide-HLA complexes will occur in the T2 assay that consists of an incubation of 15-18 hours at 37°C . The HLA molecules to which no peptide is bound disintegrate at this temperature. Moreover, dissociation of peptides from the HLA molecules is faster at 37°C than at 4°C.
- the competition assay is performed overnight at 4°C at which temperature dissociation is low. This test therefore merely studies the association between the peptide and the HLA molecule.
- a peptide with a high FI as measured in the T2 assay
- a good association as measured in the competition assay
- good stability as measured in the dissociation assay
