- Primary osteoporosis is roughly classified into postmenopausal osteoporosis due to decreased estrogen secretion and senile osteoporosis due to aging. In order to elucidate the onset mechanism and develop therapeutic agents, the regulation mechanism of bone resorption and bone formation Progress in basic research is essential.
- Osteoclasts are multinucleated cells derived from hematopoietic stem cells that release the chloride and hydrogen ions on the bone-adherent surface, thereby acidifying the gap between the cell-bone adhesive surface and being an acidic protease.
- Cathepsin K etc. are secreted (for example, refer nonpatent literature 4).
- decomposition of calcium phosphate, activation of acidic protease and decomposition of bone matrix protein are caused, and bone resorption proceeds.
- osteoclast progenitor cells differentiate into osteoclasts upon stimulation with RANKL (Receptor activator of NF- ⁇ B ligand) expressed on the cell membrane of osteoblasts / stromal cells on the bone surface.
- RANKL Receptor activator of NF- ⁇ B ligand
- RANKL is a membrane protein produced by osteoblasts / stromal cells, its expression is regulated by bone resorption factors, and RANKL induces differentiation from osteoclast precursor cells to mature multinucleated osteoclasts, etc.
- mice knocked out of RANKL develop a pathological condition like marble bone disease, and it was proved that RANKL is a physiological osteoclast differentiation inducing factor (see, for example, Non-Patent Document 8). reference).

1.Siglec-15
本発明者らによって、Siglec-15遺伝子は巨細胞腫において特異的に発現していることが見出された。また、本発明者らによってSiglec-15遺伝子は単球由来細胞株が破骨細胞に分化する際に発現量が増加することも見出された。
2.骨代謝異常の検出
Siglec-15遺伝子は、ヒト各種骨組織検体群における遺伝子の発現量の解析をすると、破骨細胞様の多核巨細胞が多数出現する骨腫瘍であり、臨床的所見として骨溶解性の骨破壊を特徴とする(Bullough et al.,Atlas of Orthopedic Pathology 2nd edition, pp17.6-17.8,Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Publishers(1992))巨細胞腫(Giant cell tumor; GCT)において有意に発現量が増加していることが見出された。
3.抗Siglec-15抗体の製造
本発明のSiglec-15に対する抗体は、常法を用いて、Siglec-15又はSiglec-15のアミノ酸配列から選択される任意のポリペプチドを動物に免疫し、生体内に産生される抗体を採取、精製することによって得ることができる。抗原となるSiglec-15の生物種はヒトに限定されず、マウス、ラット等のヒト以外の動物に由来するSiglec-15を動物に免疫することもできる。この場合には、取得された異種Siglec-15に結合する抗体とヒトSiglec-15との交差性を試験することによって、ヒトの疾患に適用可能な抗体を選別できる。
また抗原を固定化した担体を用いて、抗原への結合性を利用して抗体を精製することも可能である。
4.抗Siglec-15抗体を含有する医薬
上述の「3.抗Siglec-15抗体の製造」の項に記載された方法で得られる抗Siglec-15抗体の中から、Siglec-15の生物活性を中和する抗体を得ることができる。これらSiglec-15の生物活性を中和する抗体は、生体内でのSiglec-15の生物活性、即ち、破骨細胞の分化及び/又は成熟を阻害することから、医薬として、破骨細胞の分化及び/又は成熟異常に起因する骨代謝異常に対する治療及び/又は予防剤として用いることができる。骨代謝異常は正味の骨喪失(骨減少症又は骨溶解症)によって特徴付けられるいずれの障害であってもよい。一般に、抗Siglec-15抗体による治療及び/又は予防は、骨吸収を抑制する必要がある場合に適用される。抗Siglec-15抗体で治療及び/又は予防可能な骨代謝異常としては、骨粗鬆症(閉経後骨粗鬆症、老人性骨粗鬆症、ステロイドや免疫抑制剤等の治療用薬剤の使用による続発性骨粗鬆症、関節リウマチに伴う骨粗鬆症)、関節リウマチに伴う骨破壊、癌性高カルシウム血症、多発性骨髄腫や癌の骨転移に伴う骨破壊、巨細胞腫、骨減少症、歯根膜炎による歯の喪失、人工関節周囲の骨融解、慢性骨髄炎における骨破壊、骨ページェット病、腎性骨異栄養症、骨形成不全症などを挙げることができるが、破骨細胞による正味の骨喪失を伴う疾患であれば、これらに限定されない。上記の医薬としての抗Siglec-15抗体の例として、#24A3抗体から「3.抗Siglec-15抗体の製造」に記載の方法によって作製されたキメラ抗体又はヒト化抗体を挙げることができる。また、#24A3抗体と同じエピトープを有するキメラ抗体、ヒト化抗体及びヒト抗体も医薬として使用可能である。ある抗Siglec-15抗体が、#24A3抗体と同じエピトープを持つことは、Siglec-15の特定の部分ペプチドに対してこれらの抗体が共通に結合するか否かを観察することによって確認できる。また、ある抗Siglec-15抗体が、Siglec-15との結合において#24A3抗体と競合するのであれば、これらの抗体が共通のエピトープを持つと判定することができる。
以下、本発明を実施例により具体的に説明するが、本発明はこれらに限定されるものではない。なお、下記実施例において遺伝子操作に関する各操作は特に明示がない限り、「モレキュラークローニング(Molecular Cloning)」(Sambrook,J.,Fritsch,E.F.及びManiatis,T.著,Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Pressより1989年に発刊)に記載の方法により行うか、又は、市販の試薬やキットを用いる場合には市販品の指示書に従って使用した。
ヒトSiglec-15の細胞外領域cDNAをPCRで増幅し、pDNOR221ベクター(インビトロジェン社製)に組み込むことによりエントリークローンを作製した。このエントリークローンから、インサートのC末側にV5エピトープと6×Hisタグが付加される様に設計されたディストネーションベクターであるpDONMに組み換えを行うことにより発現プラスミド(可溶型ヒトSiglec-15/pDONM)を得た。可溶型ヒトSiglec-15/pDONMを293-F細胞にトランスフェクションし、6~12% CO2濃度、37℃で96時間(4日間)攪拌培養した。培養液を回収し、遠心分離することにより可溶型ヒトSiglec-15蛋白質含有培養上清を調製した。得られた培養上清をNi-Sepharose HPカラム(アマシャムバイオサイエンス社製)を用いて粗精製し、続いてResource Qカラム(アマシャムバイオサイエンス社製)を用いて分画した。SDS-ポリアクリルアミド電気泳動(還元条件下)と銀染色により可溶型ヒトSiglec-15蛋白質の検出と純度検定を行った結果、Resource Qカラムに吸着しなかった蛋白質画分に分子量約35kDaの蛋白質(可溶型ヒトSiglec-15蛋白質)が効率的に精製濃縮されたことが確認された。
実施例1で作製した精製可溶型ヒトSiglec-15蛋白質をラットに免疫した。試験採血により抗体価の上昇を確認した後安楽死させ、脾臓を摘出した。細胞融合は、一般的なマウス(ラット)脾臓細胞とミエローマ細胞との融合法に従って実施した。スクリーニングにより抗体価の高い35クローンを選抜し、さらに1次、2次クローニング操作を行った。その結果、抗体価の高いハイブリドーマとして#24A3の樹立に成功した。樹立したハイブリドーマを1×107細胞/マウスとなるようにヌードマウスの腹腔内に移植した。移植後、腹水の蓄積が十分に見られた時点で腹水を採取しIgG画分を精製した。以上の操作により、ラット抗ヒトSiglec-15モノクローナル抗体#24A3を調製した。
3-1)ヒトSiglec-15 V-setドメインの発現精製
ヒトSiglec-15 V-setドメイン(NCBIの蛋白データベースのACCESSION番号NP_998767のアミノ酸配列の39乃至165番目のアミノ酸残基からなるポリペプチド)のN末端側にHisタグ、および、FactorXa認識配列を連結させた蛋白をコードするDNAをベクターpDEST14(インビトロジェン社、カタログ番号:11801-016)に組み込んだ。このプラスミドを用いて、大腸菌Rosetta-gamiB(DE3)(ノバジェン社、カタログ番号:71136-4)を形質転換し、TB培地(インビトロジェン社、カタログ番号:22711-022)で培養した。培養後、超音波破砕した菌体を遠心分離し、上清をHisTrap HPカラム(GEヘルスケア社、カタログ番号:17-5247-01)で精製した。その後、FactorXa(NEW ENGLAND BioLabs社、カタログ番号P8010L)でHisタグを切断後、Mono S5/50 GLカラム(GEヘルスケア社、カタログ番号:17-5168-01)、さらに、Superdex 75 10/300カラム(GEヘルスケア社、カタログ番号:17-5174-01)を用いて、電気泳動で分子量14kDaの単一バンドになるまでヒトSiglec-15 V-setドメインを精製した。
ラット#24A3抗体とヒトSiglec-15V-setドメインの解離定数測定は、Biacore T200(GEヘルスケアバイオサイエンス(株))を使用し、抗体をリガンドとして固定化し、抗原をアナライトとして測定した。なお、対照となる抗体としてラット#32A1抗体を使用した。ラット#32A1抗体は、国際公開第WO09/48072号パンフレット及び第WO10/117011号パンフレットに、その調製方法、並びに重鎖及び軽鎖の配列情報が記載されている。なお、ラット#32A1抗体を産生するハイブリドーマ#32A1は、日本国独立行政法人産業技術総合研究所特許生物寄託センター(所在地:郵便番号305-8566 日本国 茨城県つくば市東1丁目1番地1 中央第6)に2008年8月28日付けで寄託され、anti-Siglec-15 Hybridoma #32A1の名称で受託番号FERM BP-10999が付与されている。
#32A1又は#24A3抗体は、アミンカップリング法にてセンサーチップCM5(GEヘルスケアバイオサイエンス(株))へ固定化した抗マウスIgG抗体(GEヘルスケアバイオサイエンス(株))を介し、約50RUを結合させた。ランニングバッファーとしてHBS-EP+(10mM HEPES pH7.4、0.15M NaCl,3mM EDTA、0.05%Surfactant P20)を用いた。抗体を結合したチップ上に、抗原の希釈系列溶液(0.003-2nM)を流速90μl/分で233秒間添加し、引き続き3600秒間の解離相をモニターした。再生溶液として、3M MgCl2を流速10μl/分で30秒間添加した。データの解析には、分析ソフトウェア(Biacore T200 Evaluation Software, version 1.0)の1:1結合モデルを用いて、結合速度定数kon、解離速度定数koff及び解離定数(KD;KD=koff/kon)を算出した。その結果、KD値は#32A1が1.5E-10[M]、#24A3が7.0E-11[M]であり、#24A3は#32A1より約2倍強い親和性を有していた。
4-1)#24A3の重鎖と軽鎖のN末端アミノ酸配列の同定
#24A3の重鎖と軽鎖のN末端アミノ酸配列を同定するために、実施例2で調製した#24A3をSDS-PAGEで分離した。分離後のゲルからSequi-Blot PVDF膜(BIO-RAD社)にゲル中のタンパク質を転写し、洗浄バッファー(25mM NaCl、10mM ホウ酸ナトリウムバッファー pH8.0)で洗浄した後、染色液(50% メタノール、20% 酢酸、0.05% クマシーブリリアントブルー)に5分間浸して染色してから、90% メタノールで脱色した。PVDF膜上で可視化された重鎖(移動度が小さい方のバンド)および軽鎖(移動度が大きい方のバンド)に相当するバンド部分を切り取った。重鎖に相当するバンドについては、少量の0.5%ポリビニルピロリドン/100mM酢酸溶液中で、37℃で30分間保温した後、水でよく洗浄し、次に、Pfu ピログルタミン酸アミノペプチダーゼキット(タカラバイオ株式会社)を用いて修飾N末端残基を除去し、水で洗浄した後風乾した。Procise cLC プロテインシーケンサー Model 492cLC (Applied Biosystems)を用いて、自動エドマン法(Edman et al. (1967) Eur.J.Biochem.1,80参照)によりそれぞれのN末端アミノ酸配列の同定を試みた。その結果、#24A3の重鎖に相当するバンドのN末端のアミノ酸配列は、

#24A3の可変領域の分子モデリングは、相同性モデリングとして一般的に公知の方法(Methods in Enzymology,203,121-153,(1991))によって実行された。Protein Data Bank(Nuc.Acid Res.35,D301-D303(2007))に登録されるヒト免疫グロブリンの可変領域の1次配列(X線結晶構造から誘導される三次元構造が入手可能である)を、上で決定された#24A3の可変領域と比較した。結果として、12E8が、#24A3の軽鎖の可変領域に対して同様にフレームワーク中に欠損がある抗体の中で、最も高い配列相同性を有するとして選択された。また、2OSLが、#24A3の重鎖の可変領域に対して最も高い配列相同性を有するとして選択された。フレームワーク領域の三次元構造は、#24A3の軽鎖及び重鎖に対応する12E8及び2OSLの座標を組み合わせて、「フレームワークモデル」を得ることによって作製された。次いで、それぞれのCDRについての代表的なコンホメーションがフレームワークモデルに組み込まれた。
ヒト化#24A3抗体の構築を、CDRグラフティング(Proc.Natl.Acad.Sci.USA 86,10029-10033(1989))として一般的に公知の方法によって行った。アクセプター抗体は、フレームワーク領域内のアミノ酸相同性に基づいて2通り選択された。#24A3のフレームワーク領域の配列を、抗体のアミノ酸配列のKabatデータベース(Nuc.Acid Res.29,205-206(2001))の全てのヒトフレームワークと比較し、結果として、HuMc3抗体がフレームワーク領域についての74%の配列相同性に起因して、アクセプターとして選択された。HuMc3についてのフレームワーク領域のアミノ酸残基を、#24A3についてのアミノ酸残基と整列させ、異なるアミノ酸が使用される位置を同定した。これらの残基の位置は、上で構築された#24A3の三次元モデルを使用して分析され、そしてアクセプター上にグラフティングされるべきドナー残基が、Queen et al.(Proc.Natl.Acad.Sci.USA 86,10029-10033(1989))によって与えられる基準によって選択された。選択されたいくつかのドナー残基をアクセプター抗体に移入することによって、ヒト化#32A1配列を以下の実施例に記載されるように構築した。また、#24A3の各CDR中の1乃至3個のアミノ酸残基を他のアミノ酸残基に置換したCDR改変ヒト化#24A3配列についても以下の実施例に記載されるように構築した。

FreeStyle 293F細胞(Invitrogen社)はマニュアルに従い、継代、培養を行うことが可能である。対数増殖期の1.2×109個のFreeStyle 293F細胞(Invitrogen社)を3L Fernbach Erlenmeyer Flask(CORNING社)に播種し、FreeStyle293 expression medium (Invitrogen社)で希釈して1.0×106細胞/mlに調製したのちに、37℃、8%CO2インキュベーター内で90rpmで1時間振とう培養した。Polyethyleneimine(Polyscience #24765)3.6mgをOpti-Pro SFM培地(Invitrogen社)20mlに溶解し、次にNucleoBond Xtra(TaKaRa社)を用いて調製した重鎖発現ベクター(0.4mg)及び軽鎖発現ベクター(0.8mg)を20mlのOpti-Pro SFM培地(Invitrogen社)に懸濁した。Polyethyleneimine/Opti-Pro SFM混合液20mlに、発現ベクター/Opti-Pro SFM混合液20mlを加え穏やかに攪拌し、さらに5分間放置した後にFreeStyle 293F細胞に添加した。37℃、8%CO2インキュベーターで7日間、90rpmで振とう培養して得られた培養上清をDisposable Capsule Filter (Advantec #CCS-045-E1H)でろ過した。
実施例8-1)、及び8-3)で作製したラット抗ヒトSiglec-15モノクローナル抗体#24A3のヒト化抗体の重鎖発現ベクターと、実施例8-2)、及び8-4)で作製したラット抗ヒトSiglec-15モノクローナル抗体#24A3のヒト化抗体の軽鎖発現ベクターとの組合せによって、ラット抗ヒトSiglec-15モノクローナル抗体#24A3のヒト化抗体を取得した。
上記9-1)で得られた培養上清から抗体を、rProteinAアフィニティークロマトグラフィー(4-6℃下)とセラミックハイドロキシアパタイト(室温下)の2段階工程で精製した。rProteinAアフィニティークロマトグラフィー精製後とセラミックヒドロキシルアパタイト精製後のバッファー置換工程は4-6℃下で実施した。最初に、培養上清を、PBSで平衡化したMabSelectSuRe(GE Healthcare Bioscience社製、HiTrapカラム)にアプライした。培養液がカラムに全て入ったのち、カラム容量2倍以上のPBSでカラムを洗浄した。次に2Mアルギニン塩酸塩溶液(pH4.0)で溶出し、抗体の含まれる画分を集めた。その画分を透析(Thermo Scientific社、Slide-A-Lyzer Dialysis Cassette)によりPBSに置換した後、5mM りん酸ナトリウム/50mM MES/pH7.0のバッファーで5倍希釈した抗体溶液を、5mM NaPi/50mM MES/30mM NaCl/pH7.0のバッファーで平衡化されたセラミックハイドロキシアパタイトカラム(日本バイオラッド、Bio-Scale CHT Type‐I Hydroxyapatite Column)にアプライした。塩化ナトリウムによる直線的濃度勾配溶出を実施し、抗体の含まれる画分を集めた。その画分を透析(Thermo Scientific社、Slide-A-Lyzer Dialysis Cassette)によりHBSor(25mM ヒスチジン/5% ソルビトール、pH6.0)へのバッファー置換を行った。最後にCentrifugal UF Filter Device VIVASPIN20(分画分子量UF10K,Sartorius社,4℃下)にて濃縮し、IgG濃度を20mg/mlに調製し精製サンプルとした。
10-1)キメラ抗体の結合性評価
ヒトキメラ#24A3抗体とヒトSiglec-15 V-setドメインの解離定数測定は、Biacore T200(GEヘルスケアバイオサイエンス(株))を使用し、抗体をリガンドとして固定化し、抗原をアナライトとして測定した。なお、対照となる抗体としてヒトキメラ#32A1抗体を使用した。ヒトキメラ#32A1抗体は、国際公開第WO10/117011号パンフレットに、その調製方法、並びに重鎖及び軽鎖の配列情報が記載されている。ヒトキメラ#24A3抗体又はヒトキメラ#32A1抗体は、アミンカップリング法にてセンサーチップCM5(GEヘルスケアバイオサイエンス(株))へ固定化した抗ヒトIgG抗体(GEヘルスケアバイオサイエンス(株))を介し、約50RUを結合させた。ランニングバッファーとしてHBS-EP+(10mM HEPES pH7.4、0.15M NaCl,3mM EDTA、0.05%Surfactant P20)を用いた。抗体を結合したチップ上に、抗原の希釈系列溶液(0.003-2nM)を流速90μl/分で233秒間添加し、引き続き3600秒間の解離相をモニターした。再生溶液として、3M MgCl2を流速10μl/分で30秒間添加した。データの解析には、分析ソフトウェア(Biacore T200 Evaluation Software, version 1.0)の1:1結合モデルを用いて、結合速度定数kon、解離速度定数koff及び解離定数(KD;KD=koff/kon)を算出した。その結果、ヒトキメラ#24A3抗体のKD値は1.7E-11[M]であり、ヒトキメラ#32A1抗体のKD値は1.4E-10[M]であった。ヒトキメラ#24A3抗体はラット#24A3抗体と同等以上の親和性を有していた。また、ヒトキメラ#32A1抗体はラット#32A1抗体と同等の親和性を有していた。
上記10-1)と同様の方法によって、ラット抗ヒトSiglec-15モノクローナル抗体#24A3のヒト化抗体のマウスSiglec-15蛋白質に対する結合性を評価した。その結果を表1に示す。

11-1)キメラ抗体によるヒト正常破骨細胞の分化に対する影響
酒石酸抵抗性酸性ホスファターゼ(TRAP)は破骨細胞の分化に伴い発現が上昇するマーカーであり、成熟した破骨細胞から分泌されると考えられている。従って、破骨細胞の培養上清中におけるTRAPの活性を測定することにより、被験物質の破骨細胞分化に対する影響をin vitroで評価することが可能である。
ラット抗ヒトSiglec-15モノクローナル抗体#24A3のキメラ抗体及びヒト化抗体によるヒト正常破骨細胞の分化に対する影響は、上記11-1)に記載の方法によって試験することが可能である。
破骨細胞はカテプシンKなどのプロテアーゼを放出することにより、骨組織の構成成分であるI型コラーゲンを分解することが知られている。OsteoLyse Assay Kit(Lonza社製、カタログ番号 PA-1500)は、ユーロピウムが結合したヒトコラーゲンをコーティングした96穴プレート(96-well OsteoLyse cell culture plate)を提供しており、同プレート上で破骨細胞を培養した際に上清に遊離される蛍光コラーゲン断片量を測定することにより、破骨細胞の骨吸収活性をin vitroで評価することが可能である。ラット抗ヒトSiglec-15モノクローナル抗体#24A3のヒト化抗体によるヒト正常破骨細胞の骨吸収活性の抑制効果は、以下に示す方法により評価が可能である。
実施例9において取得されたヒト化抗体の示す、卵巣摘出ラットにおける骨密度減少および骨吸収活性に対する抑制効果は、以下に記載の方法で評価することが可能である。
a)動物実験のプロトコール
12週齢雌性F344ラット(日本チャールス・リバー社より入手)に両側卵巣摘除を施術し、溶媒投与群、ラット抗ヒトSiglec-15モノクローナル抗体#24A3のヒト化抗体投与群に分ける。また偽手術群についても1群設定する。抗体を投与する群については、0.1~30mg/kgの用量で、手術翌日から皮下に単回投与もしくは反復投与する。投与開始4週後に絶食下で24時間採尿を行い、尿検体は測定まで-80℃で保存する。採尿終了後にラットを安楽死させ、腰椎を摘出する。
摘出した腰椎に付着している軟組織を除去し、第4~6腰椎を切り出す。骨密度測定装置(DCS-600EX、アロカ社製)を用いて骨密度を測定し、溶媒投与群、偽手術群と比較することにより、ヒト化抗体の効果を判定する。
I型コラーゲン架橋の各種代謝産物は骨の代謝回転、特に骨吸収を鋭敏に反映し、なかでもデオキシピリジノリンは主として骨のコラーゲンに局在することから骨吸収の指標として信頼性が高いとされている。
示差走査カロリメトリー(DSC)を用いて熱安定性の測定を行なった。サンプルは0.5mg/mLの濃度でHBSor緩衝液(25mMヒスチジン(pH6.0)5%ソルビトールに調製)に溶解させ、400μLずつ試料溶液としてDSC測定に使用した。DSC測定条件は、以下のように設定した。即ち、初期温度は20℃、最終温度を100℃とし、昇温速度を200℃/1時間、フィルター時間2秒、フィードバックモードをLowとした。参照液はHBSorを使用した。全てのDSC測定装置としては、米国GEヘルスケアバイオサイエンス(株)製VP-Capillary DSC Platformを使用した。試料溶液から得られたスキャン曲線からベースライン(試料セルにも参照溶液を充填して得られたスキャン曲線)を差し引いてベースライン補正を行なった。次に、各サンプルの分子量から算出されたモル濃度を用いて濃度のキャリブレーションを行った。図24がh#24A3-H2d/L1抗体のサーモグラム、図25がh#24A3-H2e/L1抗体のサーモグラム、図26がh#24A3-H2b/L3b抗体のサーモグラム、図27がh#24A3-H2c/L2b抗体のサーモグラムを示す。それぞれのサーモグラム中の最大のピークについてピークトップを示した温度を熱変性中点Tmとすると、h#24A3-H2d/L1抗体のTm値が87.9℃、h#24A3-H2e/L1抗体のTm値が89.3℃、h#24A3-H2b/L3b抗体のTm値が88.9℃、h#24A3-H2c/L2b抗体のTm値が91.0℃であった。
