Description

肿瘤特异性抗EGFR抗体及其应用 技术领域
本发明属于免疫性领域,更具体地,本发明涉及肿瘤特异性抗EGFR抗体及其应用。
背景技术
EGFR在很多肿瘤中过量表达或变异,如何选择性地识别这些过量表达或变异的EGFR无疑是一个很重要的科学问题。迄今为止,针对EGFR287-302表位的抗体被认为可以达到识别肿瘤表面过量表达EGFR、EGFRvIII、de4EGFR的目的,但却不识别正常细胞的EGFR。很遗憾的是针对该表位的抗体在临床实验中,还是会有病人出现皮疹等副作用(http://meetinglibrary.asco.org/content/115945-132),表明仅仅针对该表位可能还是会识别正常细胞(如角质上皮细胞)的EGFR。
因此,如何筛选更高肿瘤特异性的抗EGFR抗体显得非常迫切。高度肿瘤特异的抗体,不管是用于肿瘤影像学诊断、个体化诊断或者是肿瘤靶向治疗等都具有非常大的潜在应用价值。

具体实施方式
本发明人经过深入的研究筛选,获得了一种特异性识别肿瘤细胞EGFRvIII或过量表达的EGFR、而几乎不识别正常细胞EGFR的抗体。本发明的抗体可以被应用于制备各种靶向性抗肿瘤药物以及诊断肿瘤的药物。
抗EGFR抗体
本发明人在前期已经获得的人源化抗体基础上进一步进行筛选以及氨基酸突变,找到了一种能够更特异地针对肿瘤细胞EGFR的抗EGFR抗体,其选择性地结合过量表达EGFR或者EGFRvIII的肿瘤,而与正常细胞EGFR不结合。
本发明的抗体可以是完整的免疫球蛋白分子,也可以是抗原结合片段,包括但不限于Fab片段,Fd片段,Fv片段,F(ab’)2片段、互补决定区(CDR)片段、单链抗体(scFv)、结构域抗体,二价单链抗体、单链噬菌体抗体、双特异双链抗体、三链抗体、四链抗体。
抗体的抗原结合特性可由位于重链和轻链可变区的3个特定的区域来描述,称为互补决定区(complementarity determining region,CDR),所述的CDR区将可变区间隔成4个框架区域 (FR),4个FR的氨基酸序列相对比较保守,不直接参与结合反应。这些CDR形成环状结构,通过其间的FR形成的β折叠在空间结构上相互靠近,重链上的CDR和相应轻链上的CDR构成了抗体的抗原结合位点。可以通过比较同类型的抗体的氨基酸序列来确定是哪些氨基酸构成了FR或CDR区域。CDR区是免疫学感兴趣的蛋白质的序列,本发明的抗体的CDR区是全新的。所述抗体可包含本文揭示的二、三、四、五或者所有六个CDR区。
本发明的另一方面包括本文所述抗体的功能变体。如果变体能与亲代抗体竞争特异性结合SEQ ID NO:1,且其识别肿瘤细胞EGFRvIII或过量表达的EGFR的能力接近于本发明实施例中提供的具体的抗体。所述功能变体可以具有保守序列修饰,包括核苷酸和氨基酸取代、添加和缺失。这些修饰可以通过本领域己知的标准技术导入,例如定向诱变和随机PCR介导的诱变,并且可包含天然以及非天然核苷酸和氨基酸。较佳地,序列的修饰发生在所述抗体的CDR区以外的区域上。
免疫辍合物
本发明还提供了多功能免疫缀合物,其包含本文所述抗体以及进一步包含至少一种其它类型的功能性分子。所述的功能性分子选自但不限于:靶向肿瘤表面标志物的分子,抑制肿瘤的分子,靶向免疫细胞的表面标志物的分子或可检测标记物。所述抗体与所述功能性分子可以通过共价连接、偶联、附着、交联等方式构成辍合物。
作为一种优选方式,所述免疫缀合物可包含:本发明的抗体以及至少一种靶向肿瘤表面标志物的分子或抑制肿瘤的分子。所述的抑制肿瘤的分子可以是抗肿瘤的细胞因子,或抗肿瘤的毒素;较佳地,所述的细胞因子包括(但不限于):IL-12、IL-15、IFN-beta、TNF-alpha。所述的靶向肿瘤表面标志物的分子例如可以与本发明的抗体协同作用,更精准地靶向肿瘤细胞。
作为一种优选方式,所述免疫缀合物可包含:本发明的抗体以及可检测标记物。所述的可检测标记物包括但不限于:荧光标记物、显色标记物;如:酶、辅基、荧光材料、发光材料,生物发光材料、放射性材料、正电子发射金属以及非放射性顺磁性金属离子。也可包含一个以上的标记物。为了检测和/或分析和/或诊断目的用于标记抗体的标记依赖于使用的特定检测/分析/诊断技术和/或方法例如免疫组织化学染色(组织)样品、流式细胞计量术等。对于本领域已知的检测/分析/诊断技术和/或方法合适的标记为本领域技术人员所熟知。
作为一种优选方式,所述免疫缀合物可包含:本发明的抗体以及靶向免疫细胞的表面标志物的分子。所述靶向免疫细胞的表面标志物的分子可识别免疫细胞,其携带本发明的抗体达到免疫细胞,同时本发明的抗体可将免疫细胞靶向于肿瘤细胞,从而引发免疫细胞特异性地杀伤肿瘤。
作为通过直接或间接(例如通过接头)缀合而化学产生免疫缀合物的一种方式,所述免疫缀合物可以作为融合蛋白而产生,所述融合蛋白包含本发明的抗体及合适的其它蛋白。融合蛋白可以通过本领域已知方法产生,例如通过构建核酸分子以及随后表达所述核酸分子而重组产生,所述核酸分子包含符合读框的编码抗体的核苷酸序列以及编码合适标记的核苷酸序 列。
本发明另一方面提供了编码本发明的至少一种抗体、其功能变体或者免疫缀合物的核酸分子。一旦获得了有关的序列,就可以用重组法来大批量地获得有关序列。这通常是将其克隆入载体,再转入细胞,然后通过常规方法从增殖后的宿主细胞中分离得到有关序列。
本发明还涉及包含上述的适当DNA序列以及适当启动子或者控制序列的载体。这些载体可以用于转化适当的宿主细胞,以使其能够表达蛋白质。宿主细胞可以是原核细胞,如细菌细胞;或是低等真核细胞,如酵母细胞;或是高等真核细胞,如哺乳动物细胞。
嵌合抗原受体及基因修饰的免疫细胞
本发明提供了一种表达于免疫效应细胞(免疫细胞)表面的嵌合抗原受体,所述的嵌合抗原受体包含顺序连接的:胞外结合区,跨膜区和胞内信号区,其中所述胞外结合区包含本发明的抗体。将该嵌合抗原受体表达于免疫效应细胞的表面,可使得免疫效应细胞对表达EGFRvIII或过量表达EGFR的肿瘤细胞具有高度特异性的细胞毒性作用。
如本文所用,所述的“免疫细胞”与“免疫效应细胞”可互换使用,其包括:T淋巴细胞,NK细胞或NKT细胞等。
作为本发明的优选方式,所述的嵌合抗原受体中,包含的抗体为单链抗体,其通过CD8铰链区与CD8或者CD28的跨膜区相连接,跨膜区后紧接胞内信号区。
本发明也包括编码所述嵌合抗原受体的核酸。本发明还涉及上述多核苷酸的变异体,其编码与本发明有相同的氨基酸序列的多肽或多肽的片段、类似物和衍生物。
嵌合抗原受体的跨膜区可以选自CD8或CD28等蛋白的跨膜区。人CD8蛋白是个异二聚体,由αβ或者γδ两条链组成。在本发明的一个实施方案中,跨膜区选自CD8α或者CD28的跨膜区。此外,CD8α铰链区(hinge)是一个柔性区域,因此,CD8或CD28和跨膜区加上铰链区被用于将嵌合抗原受体CAR的靶点识别结构域scFv和胞内信号区连接起来。
胞内信号区可以选自CD3ζ,FcεRIγ,CD28,CD137,CD134蛋白的胞内信号区,及其组合。CD3分子由五个亚单位组成,其中CD3ζ亚单位(又称CD3zeta,简称Z)含有3个ITAM基序,该基序是TCR-CD3复合体中重要的信号转导区。CD3δZ是截短的不具有ITAM基序的CD3ζ序列,在本发明实践中一般作为阴性对照的构建。FcεRIγ主要分布在肥大细胞和嗜碱性粒细胞表面,其含有一个ITAM基序,在结构、分布及功能上与CD3ζ类似。此外如前所述,CD28,CD137,CD134是共刺激信号分子,在与各自配体结合后其胞内信号区段产生的共刺激作用引起免疫效应细胞(主要是T淋巴细胞)的持续增殖,并能够提高免疫效应细胞分泌IL-2和IFN-γ等细胞因子的水平,同时提高CAR免疫效应细胞在体内的存活周期和抗肿瘤效果。
本发明的嵌合抗原受体可以按如下方式顺序连接:
本发明的抗体、CD8和CD3ζ;
本发明的抗体、CD8、CD137和CD3ζ;
本发明的抗体、CD28分子的跨膜区、CD28分子的胞内信号区和CD3ζ;或
本发明的抗体、CD28分子的跨膜区、CD28分子的胞内信号区、CD137和CD3ζ。
及其组合,其中相关嵌合抗原受体蛋白中CD28a代表CD28分子的跨膜区,CD28b代表CD28分子的胞内信号区。上述各种嵌合抗原受体统称为scFv(EGFR)-CAR。
本发明还提供了包含上述编码表达于免疫效应细胞表面的嵌合抗原受体蛋白的核酸的载体。在一个具体实施方案中,本发明使用的载体是一种慢病毒质粒载体pWPT-eGFP。该质粒属于第三代自灭活慢病毒载体系统,该系统共有三个质粒即编码蛋白Gag/Pol、编码Rev蛋白的包装质粒psPAX2;编码VSV-G蛋白的包膜质粒PMD2.G;及空载体pWPT-eGFP,其可以用于重组引入目的核酸序列,即编码CAR的核酸序列。空载体pWPT-eGFP中由延长因子-1α(elongation factor-1α,EF-1α)启动子调控增强型绿色荧光蛋白(enhanced green fluorescent protein,eGFP)的表达。而包含编码CAR的目的核酸序列的重组表达载体pWPT-eGFP-F2A-CAR是通过由来自口蹄疫病毒(food-and-mouth disease virus,FMDV)的核糖体跳跃序列(ribosomal skipping sequence 2A)(简称F2A)实现eGFP与CAR的共表达的。
本发明还包括包含上述载体的病毒。本发明的病毒包括包装后的具有感染力的病毒,也包括包含包装为具有感染力的病毒所必需成分的待包装的病毒。本领域内已知的其它可用于将外源基因转导入免疫效应细胞的病毒及其对应的质粒载体也可用于本发明。
本发明还提供了基因修饰的免疫效应细胞,其被转导有本发明的核酸或被转导有本发明的上述包含所述含有该核酸的重组质粒,或包含该质粒的病毒。本领域常规的核酸转导方法,包括非病毒和病毒的转导方法都可以用于本发明。基于非病毒的转导方法包括电穿孔法和转座子法。近期Amaxa公司研发的Nucleofector核转染仪能够直接将外源基因导入细胞核获得目的基因的高效转导。另外,基于睡美人转座子(Sleeping Beauty system)或PiggyBac转座子等转座子系统的转导效率较普通电穿孔有较大提高,将nucleofector转染仪与睡美人转座子系统联合应用已有报道[Davies JK.,et al.Combining CD19redirection and alloanergization to generate tumor-specific human T cells for allogeneic cell therapy of B-cell malignancies.Cancer Res,2010,70(10):OF1-10.],该方法既具有较高的转导效率又能够实现目的基因的定点整合。在本发明的一个实施方案中,实现嵌合抗原受体基因修饰的免疫效应细胞的转导方法是基于病毒如逆转录病毒或慢病毒的转导方法。该方法具有转导效率高,外源基因能够稳定表达,且可以缩短体外培养免疫效应细胞到达临床级数量的时间等优点。在该转基因免疫效应细胞表面,转导的核酸通过转录、翻译表达在其表面。通过对各种不同的培养的肿瘤细胞进行体外细胞毒实验证明,本发明的免疫效应细胞具有高度特异性的肿瘤细胞杀伤效果(亦称细胞毒性)。因此本发明的编码嵌合抗原受体蛋白的核酸,包含该核酸的质粒,包含该质粒的病毒和转导有上述核酸,质粒或病毒的转基因免疫效应细胞可以有效地用于肿瘤的免疫治疗。
本发明所述的免疫细胞还可以携带外源的细胞因子的编码序列;所述的细胞因子包括但不限于:IL-12,IL-15或IL-21等。这些细胞因子具有免疫调节或抗肿瘤的活性,能增强效应T细胞及活化的NK细胞的功能,或直接发挥抗肿瘤作用。因此,本领域技术人员可以理解,这些细胞因子的运用有助于所述的免疫细胞更好地发挥作用。
本发明所述的免疫细胞还可以表达除了上述嵌合抗原受体以外的另一种嵌合抗原受体,该受体不含有CD3ζ,但含有CD28的胞内信号结构域、CD137的胞内信号结构域或者这两者的组合。
本发明所述的免疫细胞还可以表达趋化因子受体;所述的趋化因子受体包括但不限于CCR2。本领域技术人员可以理解,所述的CCR2趋化因子受体可以使得体内的CCR2与之竞争性结合,对于阻断肿瘤的转移是有利的。
本发明所述的免疫细胞还可以表达能降低PD-1表达的siRNA或者阻断PD-L1的蛋白。本领域技术人员可以理解,竞争性阻断PD-L1与其受体PD-1的相互作用,有利于恢复抗肿瘤T细胞反应,从而抑制肿瘤生长。
本发明所述的免疫细胞还可以表达安全开关;较佳地,所述的安全开关包括:iCaspase-9,Truancated EGFR或RQR8。

为制备编码7B3突变体文库的DNA片段,以质粒pCantab 5E-7B3(将7B3插入到pCantab5E-7B3的sfiI/NotI位点中)为模板,通过PCR方法分别得到两段DNA片段,随后通过搭桥PCR的方式拼接而成。具体使用以下操作步骤:为合成基因,在50μl体积重进行PCR反应,每个反应使用质粒pCantab 5E-7B3作为模板,每条引物的终浓度为0.2μM,以及5μl 10×KOD Plus缓冲液、4μl dNTPs(dATP、dCTP、dGTP和dTTP,每种2mM)、2μl 25mM MgSO4和1U KOD Plus(购自Takara),用水补足体积后,在热循环仪中开始PCR程序。反应先加热样品到94℃预变性5分钟,然后保温25个循环,每个循环是94℃30秒、56℃30秒和68℃30秒。最后在68℃保温10分钟。第一个片段的扩增利用引物pC7B3fw(SEQ ID NO:4,ATAACAGGCCCAGCCGGCCATGGATATTCAGATGACCCAGAG)和LR3re(SEQ ID NO:5,CACTTTGGTGCCCTGGCCAAATGTMNNTGGGNNMN NMNNMNNCTGMNNGCAATAATAGGTCGCAAAATC),第二个片段利用引物LR3f2fw(SEQ ID NO:6,ACATTTGGCCAGGGCACCAAAG)和pC7B3re(SEQ ID NO:7,ATAAATGCGGCC GCGCTGCTCACGGTCAC)。
预期PCR产物通过分析琼脂糖凝胶电泳鉴定,并用Wizard SV Gel and PCR Clean-up试剂盒(购自Promega)从样品中纯化回收。两个片段以等摩尔比加入到第二轮搭桥PCR中作为模板,反应体系仍然使用上述提到的KOD Plus体系,反应先加热样品到94℃预变性5分钟,然后保温10个循环,每个循环反应条件是94℃30秒、60℃30秒和68℃30秒。最后在68℃保温10分钟。随后在反应体系中直接加入终浓度为0.2μM的引物pC7B3fw和pC7B3re,并开始PCR程序。反应先加热样品到94℃预变性5分钟,然后保温25个循环,每个循环是94℃30秒、56℃30秒和68℃30秒。最后在68℃保温10分钟。预期PCR产物通过制备性琼脂糖凝胶电泳分离,并用Wizard SV Gel and PCR Clean-up试剂盒根据制造商的说明纯化回收。
完整的文库DNA片段两端分别含有sfiI和NotI限制性内切酶识别位点,经限制性内切酶sfiI/NotI(购自New England Biolabs)进行限制性消化,插入到经过同样双酶切的噬菌粒载体pCANTAB 5E中。连接产物使用Wizard SV Gel and PCR Clean-up试剂盒分离样品中的DNA并脱盐,用于电转化。在电转化时,使用电转化杯和电穿孔仪Gene Pulser II(购自Bio-Rad),转化到自制的感受态大肠杆菌ER2738(购自New England Biolabs)。最终确认得到一个含有1.9x109个突变体的文库。
2、7B3重链CDR3亲和力成熟库的构建
通过对7B3单链抗体进行序列比对和分析,7B3重链第三个CDR区域的部分氨基酸被选定,通过引物引入随机化突变,用于构建重链亲和力成熟突变体文库。
为制备编码7B3突变体文库的DNA片段,以质粒pCantab 5E-7B3为模板,通过PCR方法分别得到两段DNA片段,随后通过搭桥PCR的方式拼接而成。具体使用以下操作步骤:为合成基因,在50μl体积中进行PCR反应,每个反应使用质粒pCantab 5E-7B3作为模板,每条引物的终浓度为0.2μM,以及5μl 10×KOD Plus缓冲液、4μl dNTPs(dATP、dCTP、dGTP和dTTP,每种2mM)、2μl 25mM MgSO4和1U KOD Plus,用水补足体积后,在热循环仪中开始PCR程序。反应先加热样品到94℃预变性5分钟,然后保温25个循环,每个循环是94℃30秒、56℃30秒和68℃30秒。最后在68℃保温10分钟。第一个片段的扩增利用引物HR3f1fw(SEQ ID NO:8,TCGCAATTCCTTTAGTTGTTCC)和HR3f1re(SEQ ID NO:9,CAGGGTGCCCTGGCCCCAGTAANNMNNMNNMNNMNNMNNGCGCGCGCAATAATACAC),第二个片段利用引物HR3f2fw(SEQ ID NO:10,TACTGGGGCCAGGGCACCCTG)和HR3f2re(SEQ ID NO:11,GGAATAGGTGTATCACCGTACTCAG)。
预期PCR产物通过分析琼脂糖凝胶电泳鉴定,并用Wizard SV Gel and PCR Clean-up试剂盒从样品中纯化回收。两个片段以等摩尔比加入到第二轮搭桥PCR中作为模板,反应体系仍然使用上述提到的KOD Plus体系,在没有引物存在的情况下,反应先加热样品到94℃预变性5分钟,然后保温10个循环,每个循环反应条件是94℃30秒、60℃30秒和68℃30秒。最后在68℃保温10分钟。随后在反应体系中直接加入终浓度为0.2μM的引物HR3f1fw 和HR3f2re,并开始PCR程序。反应先加热样品到94℃预变性5分钟,然后保温25个循环,每个循环是94℃30秒、56℃30秒和68℃30秒。最后在68℃保温10分钟。预期PCR产物通过制备性琼脂糖凝胶电泳分离,并用Wizard SV Gel and PCR Clean-up试剂盒根据制造商的说明纯化回收。
完整的文库DNA片段两端分别含有sfiI和NotI限制性内切酶识别位点,经限制性内切酶sfiI/NotI进行限制性消化,插入到经过同样双酶切的噬菌粒载体pCANTAB 5E中。连接产物使用Wizard SV Gel and PCR Clean-up试剂盒分离样品中的DNA并脱盐,用于电转化。在电转化时,使用电转化杯和电穿孔仪Gene Pulser II,转化到自制的感受态大肠杆菌ER2738。最终确认得到一个含有6.0×109个突变体的文库。
实施例2、利用7B3亲和力成熟库针对EGFRvIII进行筛选
为得到更高亲和力的7B3突变体,分别利用轻链和重链突变体文库,各自实施了四轮筛选,筛选方案如下:上述文库经辅助噬菌体M13KO7感染,得到相应的噬菌体库。该噬菌体库与生物素标记的抗原EGFRvIII(购自锐劲生物),在室温下保温2小时,然后与经封闭液2%(w/v)BSA(牛血清白蛋白,购自上海生工)封闭过的链霉亲和素磁珠MyOne C1(购自Invitrogen)在室温下保温30分钟。随后用PBST(含0.1%吐温-20)缓冲液洗涤磁珠,除去非特异性结合或结合能力较弱的噬菌体。结合能力强的噬菌体,则用甘氨酸-盐酸(pH 2.2)从磁珠上洗脱下来,用Tris中和液(pH 9.1)中和后,用于感染处于对数生长中期的大肠杆菌ER2738,并被用于下一轮筛选。
在上述四轮筛选中,磁珠的用量分别为50μl、25μl、10μl和10μl,生物素标记的抗原EGFRvIII浓度分别为10nM、1nM、0.5nM和0.1nM,PBST的洗涤次数分别为10次、10次、15次和20次。从第二轮筛选开始,在洗脱前分别加入50倍、500倍和1000倍过量的未经生物素标记的抗原EGFRvIII用作竞争,以除去结合能力较弱的突变体。
为生产在表面展示了7B3单链抗体突变体的噬菌体,在400ml 2YT/氨苄青霉素培养基接种由实施例1中获得的甘油菌,使细胞密度达到OD600=0.1,在37℃和200rpm条件下振荡培养直至细胞密度达到OD600=0.5。用1012pfu的M13KO7辅助噬菌体感染,在30℃和50rpm条件下培养30分钟。加入50mg/l卡那霉素后在37℃和200rpm条件下振荡培养30分钟后,通过离心(15分钟,1600×g,4℃)分离沉淀,重悬于400ml 2YT/氨苄青霉素/卡那霉素培养基,在37℃和200rpm条件下振荡培养16小时。最后细胞通过离心(20分钟,5000×g,4℃)分离沉淀并丢弃,上清用0.45μm规格滤膜过滤后,加入1/4体积20%(w/v)PEG8000、2.5M NaCl溶液并在冰浴中保温1小时沉淀噬菌体颗粒。随后离心沉淀(20分钟,8000×g,4℃),弃上清,将噬菌体重悬于25ml预冷PBS(137mM NaCl,2.7mM KCl,8mM Na2HPO4,2mM KH2PO4)中,离心(5分钟,20000×g,4℃)。向上清液加入1/4体积20%(w/v)PEG8000、2.5M NaCl溶液,并冰浴30分钟再次沉淀噬菌体颗粒。离心沉淀(30分钟,20000×g,4℃),再次将噬菌体沉淀重悬于2ml预冷PBS中,在冰上保持30分钟并离心(30分钟,17000×g,4℃)。上清液与含4%(w/v)BSA的PBS溶液以1:1混合,置于旋转混合器上,室温下保温30 分钟,然后直接用于筛选。
实施例3、特异性结合EGFRvIII的7B3突变体的鉴定
经过四轮针对抗原EGFRvIII的筛选,从第四轮筛选所得的克隆中随机挑选96个,并用单噬菌体ELISA(酶联免疫吸附实验)分析其和抗原EGFRvIII和N1N2-806(购自锐劲生物)的结合,其中N1N2-806是M13噬菌体PIII蛋白N1N2结构域和EGFR的第287-302位氨基酸的融合蛋白。为此目的,每个单菌落接种300μl 2YT/氨苄青霉素培养基(含2%葡萄糖)于96孔深孔培养板,并在37℃和250rpm下振荡培养16小时。用20μl培养物接种到500μl 2YT/氨苄青霉素培养基(含0.1%葡萄糖),在37℃和250rpm下振荡培养1.5小时。准备辅助噬菌体溶液,取75μl的M13KO7(滴度为3×1012pfu/ml)混入到15ml 2YT培养基中,50μl/孔加到培养板中。在37℃和150rpm条件培养30分钟,然后加入准备好的卡那霉素溶液50μl/孔(取180μl的50mg/ml卡那霉素,加入到15ml 2YT培养基),在37℃和250rpm下振荡培养16小时。最后离心沉淀细胞(30分钟,5000×g,4℃),上清转移到新的96孔深孔培养板。
为进行单噬菌体ELISA,在96孔MediSorp ELISA板(购自Nunc)上分别使用100ng/孔抗原EGFRvIII、N1N2-806以及阴性对照蛋白BSA和N1N2(购自锐劲生物),50μl/孔,在4℃包被过夜。每个孔用含2%BSA(w/v)的PBST封闭。随后用PBST清洗孔三次并排净。然后加入100μl/孔上面制备的每种噬菌体溶液到板上各孔中。37℃保温2小时后,用PBST洗涤三次。为了检测结合的噬菌体,将抗M13抗体过氧化物歧化酶偶联物(购自GE Healthcare)以1:5000稀释于PBST中,并取100μl加到每个孔中。37℃保温1小时后用PBST漂洗孔三次,然后用PBS漂洗三次。最后吸取50μl TMB底物加入到孔中,并在室温下显色10分钟,随后加入每孔50μl的2M H2SO4终止显色反应。用酶联免疫检测仪(Bio-Rad)在450nm测量消光值。
选取ELISA中对抗原结合信号较强,但是对BSA没有结合信号的克隆,用于后续评估和测序分析。随后将从轻链亲和力成熟文库中获得的抗体与从重链亲和力成熟文库中通过实施例2获得的抗体在轻链可变区和重链可变区序列上进一步组合,得到的抗体同样能够特异性的结合抗原EGFRvIII和N1N2-806,不与对照蛋白BSA和N1N2结合。
从抗体及抗原决定簇的晶体结构考虑,对7B3轻重链突变后的组合抗体与EGFR287-302的结合进行结构分析,最后选定一些氨基酸位点进行进一步突变,以获得更高亲和力和稳定性。所有发生改变的氨基酸位点包括位于轻链CDR1区域的S31,轻链CDR3区域的V89,A92,Q93,F94和Y96,重链CDR2区域的S182,重链CDR3区域的L222,R224,G225,F226和R227。在轻重链突变后的组合抗体序列基础上,进一步引入突变位点,得到了抗体Y022。同亲本抗体7B3相比,Y022包含12个氨基酸突变位点(S31V,V89N,A92E,Q93N,F94I,Y96L,S182Q,L222M,R224K,G225N,F226W,R227D)。如图1所示,在单噬菌体ELISA实验中,Y022能够特异性的结合抗原EGFRvIII和N1N2-806,不与对照蛋白BSA和N1N2结合。

结果如图5所示,本发明的单链抗体Y022与外源过表达EGFR的U87-EGFR(构建方法根据:Wang H.,et al.,Identification of an Exon 4-Deletion Variant of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor with Increased Metastasis-Promoting Capacity.Neoplasia,2011,13,461-471)及过表达EGFRvIII的U87-EGFRvIII(构建方法根据:WO/2011/035465),内源过表达EGFR的A431,CAL 27以及MDA-MB-468细胞均有不同程度的结合,尤其与U87-EGFRvIII以及A431细胞结合较高,但结合能力均不如单链抗体806高。而单链抗体C225与上述细胞的结合能力均非常强。这些单链抗体与U87细胞几乎没有结合。
此外,Y022和806这两个单链抗体都几乎不能与脑胶质瘤细胞系U87细胞结合。尤为值得关注的是:单链抗体Y022与正常前列腺上皮细胞RWPE-1以及人原代角质细胞K2亦不结合,而单链抗体806与这两种正常细胞均有不同程度的结合。
这些结果表明,单链抗体Y022可以特异性地和过表达EGFR以及EGFRvIII的肿瘤细胞结合,而几乎不与表达EGFR的正常细胞结合。
实施例7、包含编码Y022/CD3单链双功能抗体的核苷酸序列的表达载体的构建
以实施例3获得的pCantab 5E-Y022质粒为模板,采用正向引物pH7B3f2_fw(SEQ ID NO:20,GATATTCAGATGACCCAGAGCCCGAGCAG)和反向引物pH7B3f2_re(SEQ ID NO:21,AATAGGATCCACCACCTCCGCTGCTCACGGTCAC)为引物对,PCR扩增获得Y022scFv的DNA片段。另外一个包含pH载体信号肽序列的DNA片段通过PCR的方式获得,以pH-7B3/CD3质粒(参见201210094008.X实施例3和图2)为模板,采用正向引物pH7B3f1_fw(SEQ ID NO:22,CCATTGACGCAAATGGGCGGTAGG)和反向引物pH7B3f1_re(SEQ ID NO:23,CTGCTCGGGCTCTGGGTCATCTGAATATC)。两个片段以等摩尔比混合,进行片段拼接并PCR,拼接条件为:预变性:94℃,4min;变性:94℃,40s;退火:60℃,40s;延伸:68℃,140s,进行5个循环,然后总延伸68℃,10min。随后补充DNA聚合酶及正向引物pH7B3f1_fw和反向引物pH7B3f2_re,扩增30个循环,扩增条件为预变性:94℃,4min;变性:94℃,40s;退火:60℃,40s;延伸:68℃,140s,进行30个循环,然后总延伸68℃,10min。
扩增得到的序列用限制性内切酶NheI/BamHI同时酶切,按照酶供应商(New England Biolabs,NEB)建议的反应条件进行双酶切。表达载体pH(参见201210094008.X实施例3和图2)也用限制性内切酶NheI/BamHI进行同样的酶切。然后按照酶供应商(NEB)建议的反应 条件,用T4DNA连接酶连接双酶切后的Y022scFv片段和pH载体片段。由此得到编码Y022单链抗体多肽的核苷酸序列被克隆到载体中,与载体上已经含有的编码CD3单链抗体多肽的核苷酸序列一起,可以转录为一条mRNA,最终翻译为Y022/CD3单链双功能抗体多肽。新质粒命名为pH-Y022/CD3,其详细结构如图6所示。
实施例8、单链双功能抗体Y022/CD3、pH-806/CD3和pH-C225/CD3的表达和纯化
表达载体pH-Y022/CD3、pH-806/CD3和pH-C225/CD3(参见201210094008.X)分别根据FreeStyle MAX Reagent转染试剂(来自Invitrogen)说明书操作步骤转染到中国仓鼠卵巢(CHO)细胞中,然后根据OptiCHOTM蛋白表达试剂盒(来自Invitrogen)筛选稳定的克隆。分别转染有上述表达载体之一的CHO细胞的稳定克隆在摇瓶中37℃,130rpm培养7天,所用培养基为CD OptiCHO(来自Gibco)。通过离心获得培养上清,然后储存于-20℃。
按照生产商提供的方法步骤,采用组氨酸亲和层析柱(His Trap HP column,购自GE Healthcare)进行蛋白纯化。具体而言,层析柱用缓冲液A(20mM sodium phosphate pH 7.4,0.4M NaCl)平衡,然后PBS透析后将细胞培养上清(500mL上清)加入到层析柱上(1mL),流速为3ml/min。然后用5倍体积的缓冲液A和10倍体积的含有50mM咪唑的缓冲液A清洗柱子,以去除杂蛋白。结合的目的蛋白用添加250mM咪唑的同样缓冲液A进行洗脱。所有的纯化步骤都在4℃下操作。
纯化的单链双功能抗体通过还原性SDS-PAGE进行检测,如图7所示,这些抗体分子的分子量均在60kD左右,符合根据氨基酸序列计算得到的单链双功能抗体的分子量。
实施例9、Y022/CD3等单链双功能抗体的抗原结合特异性分析
通过荧光激活细胞分选仪(FACS)(BD公司,FACSCalibur)分析单链双功能抗体Y022/CD3与EGFR的结合能力。
具体方法如下:
1、取对数生长期的如上表2所列各肿瘤细胞接种到6cm平皿中,接种细胞密度约为90%,37℃孵箱过夜培养。
2、使用10mM的EDTA消化细胞,200g×5min离心收集细胞。以1×106~1×107/mL的浓度重悬于1%含小牛血清的磷酸盐缓冲液(NBS PBS)中,按100ul/管的量加入流式专用管中。
3、200g×5min离心,弃上清。
4、分别加入待测抗体Y022/CD3,同时以无关抗体NGR/CD3作为阴性对照,抗体终浓度为5μg/ml,每管加入100ul。冰浴,45分钟。
5、每管加入2ml 1%NBS PBS,以200g×5min离心,共二遍。
6、弃上清,加入1:50稀释的小鼠抗组氨酸标签抗体(来自上海睿星基因技术有限公司),每管加入100ul。冰浴,45分钟。
7、每管加入2ml 1%NBS PBS,以200g×5min离心,共二遍。
8、弃上清,加入1:50稀释的FITC荧光标记的羊抗小鼠抗体(来自上海康成生物工程 有限公司),每管加入100ul。冰浴,45分钟。
9、每管加入2ml 1%NBS PBS,以200g×5min离心,共二遍。
10、弃上清,重悬于300ul 1%NBS PBS中,流式细胞仪检测。
11、应用流式细胞仪数据分析软件WinMDI 2.9分析数据。
结果如图8所示,本发明的双功能抗体Y022/CD3能够与U87-EGFR,U87-EGFRvIII以及A431细胞结合,但几乎不能与U87以及人角质上皮细胞结合。这些结果表明,Y022/CD3可以特异性地和突变的人EGFR及过表达的EGFR的肿瘤细胞结合,而不与正常表达EGFR的组织结合。
此外,如图所示Y022/CD3也能和人外周血单核细胞(PBMC)或Jurkat细胞(人外周血白血病T细胞,CD3表达阳性)结合,提示本发明的双功能抗体能够特异性地与T细胞表面的CD3抗原结合。
根据实施例7和8中提到的方法分别构建表达质粒(将实施例7和8中的Y022替换为其它突变形式的抗体)并表达纯化了M14/CD3,M15/CD3,M25/CD3,M26/CD3,S7/CD3,S8/CD3,S17/CD3,S22/CD3,S23/CD3,S29/CD3。根据本实施例的方法,分别测定了这些抗体对过表达EGFRvIII的U87-EGFRvIII和内源过表达EGFR的CAL 27细胞的结合能力。以上抗体均能够结合这两种细胞,其平均荧光强度(MFI)值如表13所示。

将混合后的细胞悬液以75μL/孔的体积加到96孔板中。然后各孔分别添加25μL从1000ng/mL到0.1ng/mL的十倍系列梯度稀释的下列试剂:
(1)Y022/CD3单链双功能抗体(BiTe);

具体而言,用Y022/CD3处理的上述肿瘤细胞组中,最小的特异性细胞毒性为32.1%,最大可达66.2%。而Y022/CD3对表达低水平EGFR的细胞U87以及人原代角质细胞的细胞毒性非常低,分别为3.4%和4.5%,显著低于对上述表达突变EGFR和/或过表达EGFR的肿瘤细胞的细胞毒性。

分别将如前述获得的eGFP-F2A-CD8sp核酸片段,与等摩尔的Y022scFv核酸片段以及等摩尔的CD8-CD3δzeta(δZ)或CD8-CD3zeta(Z)或CD8-CD137-CD3zeta(BBZ)或CD28a-CD28b-CD3zeta(28Z)或CD28a-CD28b-CD137-CD3zeta(28BBZ)核酸片段,按图9所示进行三片段拼接并PCR,拼接条件为:预变性:94℃,4min;变性:94℃,40s;退火:60℃,40s;延伸:68℃,140s,进行5个循环,然后总延伸68℃,10min,补充DNA聚合酶及正向引物(SEQ ID NO:24)和反向引物(CD8-CD3δzeta对应的反向引物为SEQ ID NO:29,其余的为SEQ ID NO:30)后PCR扩增30个循环,扩增条件为预变性:94℃,4min;变性:94℃,40s;退火:60℃,40s;延伸:68℃,140s,进行30个循环,然后总延伸68℃,10min。扩增获得的片段分别称为(表2):

3、慢病毒质粒载体的构建
作为示例,以下构建的慢病毒质粒载体使用的载体系统属于第三代自灭活慢病毒载体系统,该系统共有三个质粒即编码蛋白Gag/Pol、编码Rev蛋白的包装质粒psPAX2(购自addgene);编码VSV-G蛋白的包膜质粒PMD2.G(购自addgene)及基于空载体pWPT-eGFP(购自addgene)的编码目的基因CAR的重组表达载体。
在空载体pWPT-eGFP中,自带的延长因子-1α(elongation factor-1α,EF-1α)的启动子可调控增强型绿色荧光蛋白(enhanced green fluorescent protein,eGFP)的表达,在空载体中插入本实施例前述构建的构建体后,形成编码目的基因CAR的重组表达载体,其中通过来自口蹄疫病毒的核糖体跳跃序列(food and mouth disease virus,FMDV,ribosomal skipping sequence,F2A)实现eGFP与目的基因CAR的共表达。F2A是来自口蹄疫病毒的2A(或称为“自剪切多肽2A”)的一段核心序列,具备2A的“自剪切”功能,可以实现上游和下游基因共表达。2A由于其剪切效率高、上下游基因表达平衡性高及自身序列短小的优点为构建基因治疗多顺反子载体提供了一种有效的可行策略。尤其在基于嵌合抗原受体基因修饰T淋巴细胞的免疫治疗中多应用该序列实现目的基因与GFP或者eGFP的共表达,通过检测GFP 或者eGFP即可间接检测CAR的表达。
本实施例构建了由F2A相连的eGFP与特异性CAR共表达的慢病毒表达载体,统称为pWPT-eGFP-F2A-CAR。上述步骤2中获得的目的基因eGFP-F2A-CAR(参见实施例7中的2,F2A后面的组件简称为CAR)通过MluI和SalI限制性内切酶双酶切,连入同样双酶切的pWPT载体中,从而构建表达各嵌合抗原受体的慢病毒载体。构建成功的载体经MluI和SalI酶切鉴定及序列测定正确后,可以准备用于慢病毒包装。如前所述,eGFP-F2A-CAR转录为一条mRNA,但最终翻译为eGFP和抗EGFRvIII嵌合抗原受体两条肽链,其中在CD8α信号肽的引导下抗EGFRvIII嵌合抗原受体将定位在细胞膜上。
得到的含有各目的CAR的载体如下(F2A后面的组件可简称为CAR):

转染的步骤如下:
4.1A液配制:将10μg mock对照或10μg的各目的基因质粒pWPT-eGFP-F2A-CAR,分别与7.5μg包装质粒PAX2:和3μg包膜质粒pMD2.G,溶入800μL的无血清DMEM培养液中,混匀。
4.2B液配制:将60μg PEI(聚乙烯亚胺,购自Polysciences公司)溶解于800μL的无血清DMEM培养液中,轻轻混匀,室温孵育5min。
4.3转染复合物的形成:将A液加入B液中轻轻混合,加入后立即涡旋混合或轻轻混匀,室温下孵育20min。
4.4将转染复合物1.6ml滴加入HEK-293T细胞中,4-5h小时后,用2%FBS的DMEM培基给转染的293T细胞换液。
在转染次日观察转染效率(即呈绿色荧光的细胞比例),~80%的阳性转染效率即为转染实验成功。在转染72h后,使用0.45μm滤器(购自Millipore公司)过滤收集病毒,然后采用 Beckman Optima L-100XP超速离心机28000rpm,4℃离心2小时,弃离心上清,离心所得沉淀用1/10~1/50原液体积的AIM-V培养液(购自Invitrogen公司)进行重悬,以100μL/管分装冻存于-80℃,以待病毒滴定或感染T淋巴细胞。
5、测定包装有mock或者eGFP-F2A-CAR的慢病毒滴度
第一天,以1×105/mL接种293T细胞于96孔培养板,100μL/孔,37℃,5%CO2培养,培养液为含10%胎牛血清的DMEM。第二天,弃50μL/孔培养上清,补加50μL/孔新鲜上述培养液,并含终浓度为6μg/mL的polybrene,37℃,5%CO2孵育30min。加10μL/孔的病毒原液或1μL/孔的病毒浓缩液,3倍稀释,6个梯度,两个复孔,37℃,5%CO2培养。感染48h后,流式细胞仪检测eGFP,以阳性率为5~20%的细胞数为宜,计算滴度(U/mL)=阳性率×稀释倍数×100×104。PEI转染法包装的上述包含mock即空载体对照和各eGFP-F2A-CAR的病毒的滴度均为约0.5~1×107U/mL的水平,经浓缩后所测的病毒滴度约为0.5~1×108U/mL。
实施例12、重组慢病毒感染T细胞
由健康人外周血通过密度梯度离心法获得人外周血单个核细胞(上海市血液中心提供),以约2×106/mL密度加入AIM-V淋巴细胞培养基(购自Invitrogen公司)培养,并以细胞:磁珠比例为1:1加入包被有抗CD3和CD28抗体的磁珠(Invitrogen公司),同时加入终浓度300U/mL的重组人IL-2(购自上海华新生物高技术有限公司)刺激培养48h,然后以用上述重组慢病毒(MOI≈15)感染T细胞。感染的T细胞在培养第8天时通过流式细胞检测各不同嵌合抗原受体表达,由于eGFP与CAR共表达,检测eGFP的阳性细胞即为表达嵌合抗原受体的阳性细胞。以未感染的T淋巴细胞作为阴性对照,表达不同嵌合抗原受体的病毒感染T细胞其阳性率如表10所示。该阳性率结果表明,通过慢病毒感染的方法能够获得一定阳性率的CAR T细胞。
表10
转染有下列CAR的T细胞 CAR T细胞eGFP阳性率
Y022-δZ(Mock) 66%
Y022-Z 58%
Y022-BBZ 53%
Y022-28Z 54%
Y022-28BBZ 52%
T细胞在分别感染包装有不同嵌合抗原受体的病毒后,以细胞密度为5×105/ml隔天传代培养、计数、并对传代的细胞培养液补加IL-2(终浓度为300U/ml),培养第11天约有100~1000倍的扩增,表明表达不同嵌合抗原受体的T细胞在体外能够进行一定数量的扩增,为后续体外毒性试验及体内试验提供了保证。
实施例13、CAR-Y022的体外抗肿瘤活性
体外毒性实验使用的材料如下:
靶细胞分别为如表5所示的U87,U87-EGFR,U87-EGFRvIII,A431,CAL 27,MDA-MB-468,RWPE-1细胞以及人原代角质细胞K2。效应细胞为体外培养12天的FACS检测嵌合抗原受体表达阳性的T淋巴细胞(CAR T细胞)。
效靶比分别为3:1,1:1和1:3,靶细胞数量为10000/孔,每组均设5个复孔。检测时间为18h。
其中各实验组和各对照组如下:
各实验组:各靶细胞+表达不同嵌合抗原受体的CAR T淋巴细胞;
对照组1:靶细胞最大释放LDH;
对照组2:靶细胞自发释放LDH;
对照组3:效应细胞自发释放LDH。
检测方法:采用CytoTox 96非放射性细胞毒性检测试剂盒(Promega公司)进行。该方法是基于比色法的检测方法,可替代51Cr释放法。CytoTox
Figure PCTCN2016090892-appb-000049
检测定量地测量乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)。LDH是一种稳定的胞质酶,在细胞裂解时会释放出来,其释放方式与51Cr在放射性分析中的释放方式基本相同。释放出的LDH培养基上清中,可通过30分钟偶联的酶反应来检测,在酶反应中LDH可使一种四唑盐(INT)转化为红色的甲臜(formazan)。生成的红色产物的量与裂解的细胞数成正比。具体参照CytoTox 96非放射性细胞毒性检测试剂盒说明书。
细胞毒性计算公式为:
Figure PCTCN2016090892-appb-000050
具体如表11和表12所示,在不同效靶比的情况下,与806-CAR T相比,本发明的表达嵌合抗原受体的Y022-28Z CAR T和Y022-28BBZ CAR T对高表达EGFR以及EGFRvIII的细胞具有明显的杀伤作用,并呈现效靶比梯度依赖性即效靶比越高细胞毒性作用越强。效靶比依赖性的数据进一步显示表达本发明的嵌合抗原受体的CAR T细胞对高表达EGFR及其变异体细胞的特异性细胞毒作用。
值得关注的是,Y022-CAR T对正常表达EGFR的RWPE-1细胞以及人原代角质细胞K2几乎没有杀伤作用,在效靶比3:1时,嵌合抗原受体Y022-28BBZ CAR T淋巴细胞对RWPE-1细胞以及人原代角质细胞K2的细胞毒性分别为12%和2%,Y022-28Z CAR T淋巴细胞对RWPE-1细胞以及人原代角质细胞K2的细胞毒性分别为8%和3%。相比较而言,806-CAR T对这两种细胞均有不同程度的杀伤,806-28BBZ CAR T淋巴细胞对RWPE-1细胞以及人原代角质细胞K2的细胞毒性分别为25%和22%,806-28Z CAR T淋巴细胞对RWPE-1细胞以及人原代角质细胞K2的细胞毒性分别为15%和13%。
另外,被含有mock质粒(携带scFv-Y022-δZ)的病毒转染的作为阴性对照的CAR T显示对上述细胞系的细胞毒性作用均非常低。
以上结果表明,针对EGFR及其变异体的单链抗体所构建的嵌合抗原受体Y022-CAR T, 能够选择性地杀伤高表达EGFR及其变异体(EGFRvIII)的肿瘤细胞,而对正常表达EGFR的细胞几乎没有杀伤作用。此外,从细胞毒性数据来看,第三代(Y022-28BBZ)的CAR T比第二代(Y022-28Z)的CART对靶细胞的杀伤毒性更强。
