Definitions
- the present invention relates to a netrin-1 binding polypeptide or antibody which is useful in inducing cell death or apoptosis of tumor cells bearing a netrin-1 receptor such as an UNC5 receptor in the presence of netrin-1 , in particular the tumor express netrin-1 , and its use for the treatment of cancer.
- a netrin-1 binding polypeptide or antibody which is useful in inducing cell death or apoptosis of tumor cells bearing a netrin-1 receptor such as an UNC5 receptor in the presence of netrin-1 , in particular the tumor express netrin-1 , and its use for the treatment of cancer.
- Netrin-1 is a member of the netrin family and is an axon navigation cue, both, in an attractive and repulsive context and plays a major role in the development of the nervous system.
- the main receptors for netrin-1 are DCC (Deleted in Colorectal Cancer) and UNC5 (UNC5A, UNC5B, UNC5C, UNC5D in human, UNC5H1 , UNC5H2, UNC5H3, UNC5H4 in mice), which all belong to the dependence receptor family (Keino-Masu, 1996, Cell 87: 175- 185 ; Ackermann, 1997, Nature 386: 838-842; Hong, 1999, Cell 97: 927-941 ; Mehlen, 1998, Nature 395: 801 -804).
- Dependence receptors share the ability to induce apoptosis in the absence of their respective ligands, whereby this ability is blocked upon binding of the respective ligand (Mehlen, 2004, Cell Mol Life Sci 61 : 1854-1866; Bredesen, 2005, Cell Death Differ 12: 1031 -1043).
- neutralization of netrin-1 by the ectodomain of DCC or part of this ectodomain can induce apoptosis in tumor cells expressing dependence receptors DCC and/or UNC5 (EP-A1 -1 989 546).
- This ectodomain or part of this ectodomain is capable to reduce metastasis of breast cancer cells into the lung (Fitamant et al. 2008).
- this ectodomain or part of this ectodomain has been also demonstrated to increase the cell death percentage of non-small cell lung cancer cells and neuroblastoma cells expressing high levels of netrin-1 (Delloye-Bourgeois, 2009, J Natl Cancer Inst 101 : 237-247 ; Delloye-Bourgeois, 2009, JEM 206 : 833-847).
- WO2012025618 discloses DCC-fusion proteins having improved DCC decoy.
- EP 1 989 546 discloses monoclonal or polyclonal antibodies directed specifically against netrin-1 or netrin-1 receptors, particularly directed to the extracellular domain of the netrin-1 receptors or to the netrin-1 fragment able to interact with the extracellular domain of said netrin-1 receptors, as a medicament.
- the Applicant has now determined a linear or substantially linear epitope on netrin-1 that likely corresponds to the specific binding region of netrin-1 to receptors, in particular of the UNC5 class, especially UNC5B and UNC5A, or alternatively corresponds to a region nearby the specific binding region of netrin-1 to receptor that when bound to an antibody prevents netrin-1 /receptor interaction.
- This determination of a linear epitope allows the
- Applicant to produce antibodies binding to netrin-1 and interfering with netrin-1 /receptors interaction, thereby inducing apoptosis or cell death of tumour cells expressing or overexpressing netrin-1 and at least one netrin-1 receptor, owing the fact that this interaction inhibits netrin-1 binding to a receptor and the multimerization of the receptor.
- the Applicant also produced a murine monoclonal antibody directed against this epitope and various humanized forms thereof.
- the full-length amino acid sequence of netrin-1 is given as SEQ ID NO: 1 and a cDNA coding therefore is given at SEQ ID NO: 2.
- a linear epitope has been characterized in the second EGF-like domain of netrin-1 and is depicted on SEQ ID NO: 3 and more particularly on SEQ ID NO:35.
- a cDNA encoding this epitope is depicted on SEQ ID NO: 4, respectively 36.
- a first object of the invention is thus a polypeptide representing a linear epitope of netrin-1 or a fragment or variant of said linear epitope. More specifically, the invention relates to:
- variant polypeptide of at most 200, 150, 100, 90, 80, 70, 60, 50 amino acids and comprising SEQ ID NO: 3 or variant sequence as described above, such as a variant polypeptide consisting of the 22 consecutive amino acids of SEQ ID NO: 3 from position 9 (A) to position 30 (C), including these amino acids, which variant is presented as SEQ ID NO: 35,
- variant polypeptide comprising at least 20, 25 or 30 consecutive amino acids of SEQ ID NO: 3 such as a variant polypeptide of sequence SEQ ID NO: 35, or variant sequence as described above,
- polypeptide of sequence SEQ ID NO: 35 or variant sequence as described above, - an isolated or purified polypeptide encoded by the cDNA of sequence SEQ ID NO: 4 or 36.
- Another object of the invention is a cDNA coding for said polypeptide representing a linear epitope of netrin-1 or a fragment or variant of said linear epitope. More specifically, the invention relates to:

- variant cDNA having at least 85, 90, 95, 96, 97, 98 or 99 % of identity to SEQ ID NO: 4 or 36.
- a variant polypeptide is able to generate an antibody which still keeps the ability to specifically bind to the linear epitope on netrin-1 and inhibit the interaction of netrin-1 to its receptor, in particular UNC5 or DCC, especially UNC5B and UNC5A, and induce apoptosis or cell death of the tumour cell expressing or overexpressing netrin-1 and a netrin-1 receptor.
- a variant cDNA codes for the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 3 or of SEQ ID NO: 35 or for a variant polypeptide.

- the binding polypeptide has the property of binding to netrin-1 and induce cell death or apoptosis of a tumor cell via an UNC5 or DCC receptor. The fact is that free or active netrin-1 does no longer exist or at an insufficient level, so that the apoptosis signaling of the netrin-1 receptor is activated.

- a sequence "at least 85% identical to a reference sequence” is a sequence having, on its entire length, 85%, or more, in particular 90%, 91 %, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, 99.5%, 99.6%, 99.7%, 99.8%, 99.9% or 100% sequence identity with the entire length of the reference sequence.
- a percentage of "sequence identity" may be determined by comparing the two sequences, optimally aligned over a comparison window, wherein the portion of the polypeptide sequence in the comparison window may comprise additions or deletions (i.e. gaps) as compared to the reference sequence (which does not comprise additions or deletions) for optimal alignment of the two sequences.
- the percentage is calculated by determining the number of positions at which the identical amino acid residue occurs in both sequences to yield the number of matched positions, dividing the number of matched positions by the total number of positions in the window of comparison and multiplying the result by 100 to yield the percentage of sequence identity.
- Optimal alignment of sequences for comparison is conducted by global pairwise alignment, e.g. using the algorithm of Needleman and Wunsch (1970) J. Mol. Biol. 48: 443.
- a “conservative amino acid substitution” is one in which an amino acid residue is substituted by another amino acid residue having a side chain group with similar chemical properties (e.g., charge or hydrophobicity). In general, a conservative amino acid substitution will not substantially change the functional properties of a protein.
- Examples of groups of amino acids that have side chains with similar chemical properties include 1 ) aliphatic side chains: glycine, alanine, valine, leucine, and isoleucine; 2) aliphatic-hydroxyl side chains: serine and threonine; 3) amide-containing side chains: asparagine and glutamine; 4) aromatic side chains: phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan; 5) basic side chains: lysine, arginine, and histidine; 6) acidic side chains: aspartic acid and glutamic acid; and 7) sulfur-containing side chains: cysteine and methionine.
- Conservative amino acids substitution groups are: valine-leucine-isoleucine, phenylalanine-tyrosine- tryptophane, lysine-arginine, alanine-valine, glutamate-aspartate, and asparagine-glutamine.
- an “antibody” may be a natural or conventional antibody in which two heavy chains are linked to each other by disulfide bonds and each heavy chain is linked to a light chain by a disulfide bond.
- Each chain contains distinct sequence domains.
- the light chain includes two domains or regions, a variable domain (VL) and a constant domain (CL).
- the heavy chain includes four domains, a variable domain (VH) and three constant domains (CH1 , CH2 and CH3, collectively referred to as CH).
- variable regions of both light (VL) and heavy (VH) chains determine binding recognition and specificity to the antigen.
- the constant region domains of the light (CL) and heavy (CH) chains confer important biological properties such as antibody chain association, secretion, trans-placental mobility, complement binding, and binding to Fc receptors (FcR).
- the Fv fragment is the N-terminal part of the Fab fragment of an immunoglobulin and consists of the variable portions of one light chain and one heavy chain.
- the specificity of the antibody resides in the structural complementarity between the antibody combining site and the antigenic determinant.
- Antibody combining sites are made up of residues that are primarily from the hypervariable or complementarity determining regions (CDRs). Occasionally, residues from nonhypervariable or framework regions (FR) influence the overall domain structure and hence the combining site.
- CDRs Complementarity Determining Regions
- the light and heavy chains of an immunoglobulin each have three CDRs, designated CDR1 -L, CDR2-L, CDR3-L and CDR1 -H, CDR2-H, CDR3-H, respectively.
- a conventional antibody antigen-binding site therefore, includes six CDRs, comprising the CDR set from each of a heavy and a light chain V region.
- “Framework Regions” (FRs) refer to amino acid sequences interposed between CDRs, i.e.
- the light and heavy chains of an immunoglobulin each have four FRs, designated FR1 -L, FR2-L, FR3-L, FR4-L, and FR1 -H, FR2-H, FR3-H, FR4-H, respectively.
- a "human framework region” is a framework region that is substantially identical (about 85%, or more, in particular 90%, 95%, 97%, 99% or 100%) to the framework region of a naturally occurring human antibody.
- CDR/FR definition in an immunoglobulin light or heavy chain is to be determined based on IMGT definition (Lefranc et al. (2003) Dev Comp Immunol. 27(1 ):55-77; www.imgt.org).
- antibody denotes conventional antibodies and fragments thereof, as well as single domain antibodies and fragments thereof, in particular variable heavy chain of single domain antibodies, and chimeric, humanised, bispecific or multispecific antibodies.
- antibody or immunoglobulin also includes "single domain antibodies" which have been more recently described and which are antibodies whose complementary determining regions are part of a single domain polypeptide.
- single domain antibodies include heavy chain antibodies, antibodies naturally devoid of light chains, single domain antibodies derived from conventional four-chain antibodies, engineered single domain antibodies.
- Single domain antibodies may be derived from any species including, but not limited to mouse, human, camel, llama, goat, rabbit and bovine.
- Single domain antibodies may be naturally occurring single domain antibodies known as heavy chain antibody devoid of light chains.
- Camelidae species for example camel, dromedary, llama, alpaca and guanaco, produce heavy chain antibodies naturally devoid of light chain.

- VHHs Similar to conventional VH domains, VHHs contain four FRs and three CDRs.
- Nanobodies have advantages over conventional antibodies: they are about ten times smaller than IgG molecules, and as a consequence properly folded functional nanobodies can be produced by in vitro expression while achieving high yield. Furthermore, nanobodies are very stable, and resistant to the action of proteases. The properties and production of nanobodies have been reviewed by Harmsen and De Haard (Harmsen and De Haard (2007) Appl. Microbiol. Biotechnol. 77:13-22).
