Definitions
- the invention belongs to the technical field of biomedicine, and particularly relates to a bifunctional molecule and an application thereof.
- T lymphocytes are derived from the thymus (Thymus), so they are called T cells.
- Mature T cells exist in the thymus-dependent region of peripheral immune organs, occupying a central position in adaptive cellular immune responses, and also play an important auxiliary role in thymus-dependent antigen-induced humoral immune responses.
- T cells can be divided into Cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL), Helper T cell (Th) and Regulatory T cell (Treg).
- CTL expresses CD8, which is the main effector cell of adaptive cellular immunity.
- CD8-positive T cells Complete activation and efficient amplification of CD8-positive T cells is the basis for their effective killing of target cells, depending on the role of the dual signaling pathway: MHC I/endogenous antigen on the surface of antigen-presenting cells (APC)
- APC antigen-presenting cells
- the peptide complex specifically recognizes the TCR/CD3 complex expressed by T cells, causing CD3 to interact with the cytoplasmic segment of the co-receptor CD8, activating the protein tyrosine kinase linked to the tail of the cytoplasmic segment, and immunizing the CD3 cytoplasmic region Tyrosine phosphorylation in the immune tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM) initiates a signaling cascade that activates transcription factors that allow T cell activation, which is T cell activation.

Abstract
提供一种双功能分子及其应用。所述双功能分子包括第一功能域和第二功能域,所述第一功能域和第二功能域能够同时结合T细胞,从而产生T细胞活化所需的第一信号和第二信号。所述双功能分子为重组蛋白肽链,可采用真核细胞表达系统生产。
Description
本发明属于生物医药技术领域,具体涉及一种双功能分子及其应用。
T淋巴细胞(T lymphocyte)来源于胸腺(Thymus),故称T细胞。成熟T细胞存在于外周免疫器官的胸腺依赖区,在适应性细胞免疫应答中占据核心地位,同时在胸腺依赖性抗原诱导的体液免疫应答中亦发挥重要的辅助作用。根据功能的不同,T细胞可分为细胞毒性T细胞(Cytotoxic T lymphocyte,CTL)、辅助T细胞(Helper T cell,Th)和调节性T细胞(Regulatory T cell,Treg)。其中CTL表达CD8,是适应性细胞免疫的主要效应细胞,其主要功能是特异性识别靶细胞表面的内源性抗原肽/MHC I类分子复合物,自身活化后可分泌穿孔素(Peforin)、颗粒酶(Granzyme)、颗粒溶素(Granulysin)等物质直接杀伤靶细胞(肿瘤细胞或寄生病原体感染的细胞),也可通过Fas/FasL信号途径诱导靶细胞凋亡;而Th均表达CD4,通过分泌不同种类的细胞因子以及与其它细胞之间直接的相互作用,调节CTL的细胞活性,间接参与细胞免疫;此外,Treg可通过直接接触抑制靶细胞活化以及分泌IL-10、TGFβ等细胞因子对细胞免疫应答进行负调控,在免疫耐受、自身免疫病、感染性疾病及肿瘤等多种疾病中发挥重要的作用。
CD8阳性T细胞的完全活化与高效扩增是其有效杀伤靶细胞的基础,依赖于双信号传递途径的作用:其中抗原递呈细胞(Antigen presenting cell,APC)表面的MHC I/内源性抗原肽复合物特异性识别T细胞表达的TCR/CD3复合物,导致CD3与共受体CD8的胞质段相互作用,激活与胞质段尾部相连的蛋白质酪氨酸激酶,使CD3胞质区免疫受体酪氨酸激酶激活模体(Immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif,ITAM)中的酪氨酸磷酸化,启动信号传导分子级联反应,激活转录因子,使得T细胞初步活化,这是T细胞活化的第一信号;同时,T细胞表面的共刺激分子(Co-stimulatory molecule,例如CD28、4-1BB、ICOS、OX40、GITR、CD40L、CD27、CTLA-4、PD-1、LAG-3、TIM-3、TIGIT、BTLA等)可与APC细胞表面的共刺激分子配体(例如CD80、CD86、4-1BBL、B7RP-1、OX40L、GITRL、CD40、CD70、PD-L1、PD-L2、HVEM等)相互作用,产生T细胞活化的第二信号(共刺激信号):其中CD28、4-1BB、ICOS、OX40、GITR、CD40L和CD27等属于正共刺激分子,与相应配体(CD80、CD86、4-1BBL、B7RP-1、OX40L、GITRL、CD40、CD70等)相互作用所产生的第二信号(正共刺激信号)可导致T细胞的完全活化;而CTLA-4,PD-1、LAG-3、TIM-3、TIGIT和BTLA等属于负共刺激分子,与相应配体(CD80、CD86、PD-L1、PD-L2、Galectin-9、HVEM等)相互作用所产生的第二信号(负共刺激信号)主要是下调和终止T细胞的活化。
目前针对T细胞活化的第一信号途径,已见报道通过基因工程设计并构建了一系列的抗CD3单克隆全长抗体(Beverley PC等人,Eur J Immunol,11:329-334,1981;Lanzavecchia A等人,Eur J Immunol,17:105-111,1987;Yannelli JR等人,J Immunol Methods,130:91-100,1990)。已有的实验数据表明,该类单克隆抗体能够特异性识别T细胞表面的CD3分子,产生T细胞活化的第一信号。然而,仅有第一信号传递途径非但不能有效激活T细胞,反而会导致T细胞失能甚至产生激活诱导的T细胞死亡(Activation induced cell death,AICD)。为了克服CD3单克隆全长抗体的这一缺点,人们设计并构建了抗CD28、抗4-1BB以及抗ICOS等正共刺激分子的激活型单克隆全长抗体(US Patent 20100168400A1;US Patent 20100183621A1;US Patent 009193789B2)或者抗PD-1、抗CTLA-4以及抗LAG-3等负共刺激分子的阻断型单克隆全长抗体(World Patent 2013173223A1;US Patent 007452535B2;US Patent 2015116539A1),通过与抗CD3全长抗体联合使用,可以为T细胞提供完整的双
信号活化途径。然而,两种单克隆全长抗体联合使用的方式在具体应用上仍存在一些不足,如明显增加了重组抗体表达与纯化的工作量与生产成本,实际应用于T细胞体外活化扩增时必须优化两种全长抗体的相对比例。此外,两个全长抗体联合使用时,为促进受体活化,需要添加较高浓度的抗体溶液或将抗体包被到培养板或微球上以增强其对受体的活化效果。

实施例2-14:CD3-OX40双特异抗体介导的CIK细胞增殖
以人外周血单个核细胞(Peripheral blood mononuclear cell,PBMC)为实验材料,用本发明所制备的上述单体形式的双特异抗体CD3-OX40 BsAb_M、二聚体形式的双特异抗体CD3-OX40 BsAb_D、以及抗CD3/抗CD28单克隆全长抗体联用(Anti-CD3/Anti-CD28)分别作用于同一供体来源的人血PBMC,细胞培养后进行计数,比较扩增倍数。
1.PBMC的分离:取抗凝血,加入等体积的医用生理盐水,沿离心管壁缓慢加入与血液等体积的淋巴细胞分离液(购自GE Healthcare公司),保持液面分层明显,2000rpm离心20min,吸取中间白雾状的细胞层于新的离心管中,加入2倍以上体积的PBS缓冲液洗涤,1100rpm离心10min,重复洗涤一次,用少量预冷的X-vivo 15无血清培养基(购自Lonza公司)重悬,细胞计数待用;
2.CIK细胞培养与扩增:将PBMC用CIK基础培养基(90%X-vivo15+10%FBS)重悬,调整细胞密度为1×106/ml,分别设计以下3个实验组:对照组(Anti-CD3 5ug/ml和Anti-CD28 5ug/ml包被细胞培养板,全长抗体均购自吴江近岸蛋白质科技有限公司);实验组1(溶液状态下添加双特异性抗体CD3-OX40 BsAb_M 10ng/ml);实验组2(溶液状态下添加双特异性抗体CD3-OX40 BsAb_D 10ng/ml)。此外,3组实验细胞同时添加细胞因子IFN-γ(200ng/ml,购自吴江近岸蛋白质科技有限公司)和IL-1β(2ng/ml,购自吴江近岸蛋白质科技有限公司),置于培养箱,在饱和湿度、37℃、5.0%CO2的条件下进行培养。培养过夜后,添加500U/ml的IL-2(购自吴江近岸蛋白质科技有限公司)继续培养,每2-3天计数并用添加500U/ml IL-2的CIK基础培养基按1×106/ml的密度进行细胞传代。照此方法培养30天,最终统计细胞的扩增倍数,绘制生长曲线。
检测结果如图2-12所示,单体和二聚体形式的CD3-OX40双特异性抗体单一使用对CIK细胞的增殖效果均优于抗CD3/抗CD28单克隆全长抗体联合使用:培养18天后,Anti-CD3/Anti-CD28联用出现大量细胞死亡,细胞扩增倍数显著下降;而添加单体形式的CD3-OX40 BsAb_M或二聚体形式的CD3-OX40 BsAb_D均未出现细胞死亡,只是细胞扩增速度相对放缓,因此本发明制备的两种形式的CD3-OX40双特异性抗体均可有效扩增和延长CIK细胞的生存期,其中二聚体较单体效果稍好。
实施例2-15:添加CD3-OX40双特异抗体的CIK细胞对肿瘤细胞杀伤活性检测

CIK细胞对Raji细胞的杀伤效率检测:
在96孔板中进行细胞杀伤实验,反应体积为100uL,设置以下实验组别:组1(5ug/ml Anti-CD3/Anti-CD28联用培养14天后的CIK细胞)、组2(10ng/ml CD3-OX40 BsAb_M培养14天后的CIK细胞)、组3(10ng/ml CD3-OX40 BsAb_D培养14天后的CIK细胞)、组4(5ug/ml Anti-CD3/Anti-CD28联用培养30天后的CIK细胞)、组5(10ng/ml CD3-OX40
BsAb_M培养30天后的CIK细胞)、组6(10ng/ml CD3-OX40 BsAb_D培养30天后的CIK细胞)。分别取上述6组CIK细胞1×105个,加入Raji细胞1×105个(CIK效应细胞:Raji靶细胞(E∶T比)为1∶1),37℃共培养3h后,每孔添加10ul的CCK8,37℃继续反应2-3h,随后用酶标仪测OD450值,按照以下公式计算细胞杀伤效率,每组实验重复检测3次;同时以未添加任何抗体进行培养的CIK细胞对Raji细胞的杀伤效率作为空白对照。
结果如图2-13显示,培养14天后,添加CD3-OX40双特异抗体的CIK细胞对Raji细胞的杀伤效率均不同程度地优于抗CD3/抗CD28单克隆全长抗体联合使用:其中添加二聚体形式的CD3-OX40 BsAb_D,杀伤效率约为32%,效果最优(组3);添加单体形式的CD3-OX40 BsAb_M,杀伤效率约为25%,效果次之(组2);Anti CD3/Anti CD28联用,杀伤效率约为22%,效果最弱(组1)。培养30天后,添加CD3-OX40双特异抗体的CIK细胞杀伤活性进一步提高:其中添加二聚体形式的CD3-OX40 BsAb_D,杀伤效率约为40%(组6);添加单体形式的CD3-OX40 BsAb_M,杀伤效率约为35%(组5);与之相比,Anti CD3/Anti CD28联用培养的CIK细胞杀伤Raji肿瘤细胞的能力已大幅下降,杀伤效率仅约为10%(组4)。
其中,杀伤效率的计算公式为:

蛋白纯化层析柱:Protein L亲和层析柱(购自GE Healthcare公司,柱体积1.0ml)
缓冲液A(Buffer A):PBS,pH7.4
缓冲液B(Buffer B):0.1M Glycine,pH3.0
缓冲液C(Buffer C):0.1M Glycine,pH2.7
纯化过程:采用AKTA explorer 100型蛋白纯化系统(购自GE Healthcare公司),用Buffer A预处理Protein L亲和层析柱,取培养上清上样,收集流出液。上样完毕后,用至少1.5ml Buffer A平衡层析柱,平衡后分别用Buffer B和Buffer C洗脱,收集目的蛋白洗脱液(洗脱液的收集管需要预先加入1%的1M Tris,pH8.0来中和洗脱液pH值,Tris终浓度约为10mM),最后浓缩透析至缓冲液PBS中。
最终纯化的CD3-OX40L BsM_M和CD3-OX40L BsM_D重组蛋白经SDS-PAGE分析,还原和非还原条件下电泳图如图3-8所示。从图中可以看出,经Protein L亲和层析柱纯化后,CD3-OX40L BsM_M和CD3-OX40L BsM_D重组蛋白的纯度均>95%;其中CD3-OX40L BsM_M重组蛋白的理论分子量为42.7kDa,还原和非还原条件下该蛋白均呈现单一电泳条带,由于OX40L胞外区结构域存在翻译后N-糖基化修饰,因此实际分子量与理论值相比偏大,该双特异性分子为糖基化的单体形式(图3-8A);CD3-OX40L BsM_D重组蛋白的理论分子量为50.6kDa,还原条件下该蛋白电泳条带所呈现分子量与糖基化的单体一致,非还原条件下电泳条带所呈现分子量与糖基化的二聚体一致(图3-8B),说明两个蛋白分子可通过二硫键相互连接,因此该双特异性分子为二聚体形式。
此外,纯化的重组蛋白样品经N/C末端序列分析,结果表明所表达的重组蛋白样品均读框无误,与理论N/C末端氨基酸序列一致,质谱分析进一步确认CD3-OX40L BsM_M为单体形式,CD3-OX40L BsM_D为二聚体形式。

最终纯化的CD3-CD70 BsM_M和CD3-CD70 BsM_D重组蛋白经SDS-PAGE分析,还原和非还原条件下电泳图如图3-14所示。从图中可以看出,经ProteinL亲和层析柱纯化后,CD3-CD70 BsM_M和CD3-CD70 BsM_D重组蛋白的纯度均>95%;其中CD3-CD70 BsM_M重组蛋白的理论分子量为44.4kDa,还原和非还原条件下该蛋白均呈现单一电泳条带,由于CD70胞外区结构域存在翻译后N-糖基化修饰,因此实际分子量与理论值相比偏大,该双特异性分子为糖基化的单体形式(图3-14A);CD3-CD70 BsM_D重组蛋白的理论分子量为52.3kDa,还原条件下该蛋白电泳条带所呈现分子量与糖基化的单体一致,非还原条件下电泳条带所呈现分子量与糖基化的二聚体一致(图3-14B),说明两个蛋白分子可通过二硫键相互连接,因此该双特异性分子为二聚体形式。
此外,纯化的重组蛋白样品经N/C末端序列分析,结果表明所表达的重组蛋白样品均读框无误,与理论N/C末端氨基酸序列一致,质谱分析进一步确认CD3-CD70 BsM_M为单体形式,CD3-CD70 BsM_D为二聚体形式。

表4-6.CD3-BTLA双特异性抗体基因克隆中使用的引物
实施例4-27:CD3-BTLA BsAb_M和CD3-BTLA BsAb_D的表达与纯化
一、CD3-BTLA BsAb_M和CD3-BTLA BsAb_D的表达
1.1.CHO-S细胞(购自Thermo Fisher Scientific公司)转染前1天传代密度为0.5~0.6×106/ml;
1.2.转染当天进行细胞密度统计,当密度为1~1.4×106/ml、活力>90%时,可用于质粒转染;
1.3.转染复合物配制:每个项目(CD3-BTLA BsAb_M和CD3-BTLA BsAb_D)需准备两个离心管/培养瓶,以20ml为例,分别放置,取实施例4-26中所制备重组质粒:
管①中加入600μl PBS,20μg重组质粒,混匀;
管②中加入600μl PBS,20ul FreeStyleTM MAX Transfection Reagent(购自Thermo Fisher Scientific公司),混匀;
1.4.将稀释后的转染试剂,加入至稀释后的重组质粒中,混合均匀,配制成转染复合物;
1.5.转染复合物静置15~20min后,单滴匀速加入细胞培养物中;
1.6.于37℃,CO2浓度8%,摇床转速130rpm条件下进行转染后细胞培养,5天后收集培养上清进行目的蛋白表达检测。
二、CD3-BTLA BsAb_M和CD3-BTLA BsAb_D的纯化
2.1样品预处理
取上述转染后细胞培养上清20ml,加入缓冲液20mM PB,200mM NaCl调节pH至7.5;
2.2 Protein L亲和层析柱纯化
蛋白纯化层析柱:Protein L亲和层析柱(购自GE Healthcare公司,柱体积1.0ml)
缓冲液A(Buffer A):PBS,pH7.4
缓冲液B(Buffer B):0.1M Glycine,pH3.0
缓冲液C(Buffer C):0.1M Glycine,pH2.7
纯化过程:采用AKTA explorer 100型蛋白纯化系统(购自GE Healthcare公司),用Buffer A预处理Protein L亲和层析柱,取培养上清上样,收集流出液。上样完毕后,用至少1.5ml Buffer A平衡层析柱,平衡后分别用Buffer B和Buffer C洗脱,收集目的蛋白洗脱液(洗脱液的收集管需要预先加入1%的1M Tris,pH8.0来中和洗脱液pH值,Tris终浓度约为10mM),最后浓缩透析至缓冲液PBS中。
最终纯化的CD3-BTLA BsAb_M和CD3-BTLA BsAb_D重组蛋白经SDS-PAGE分析,还原和非还原条件下电泳图如图4-22所示。从图中可以看出,经Protein L亲和层析柱纯化后,CD3-BTLA BsAb_M和CD3-BTLA BsAb_D重组蛋白的纯度均>95%;其中CD3-BTLA BsAb_M重组蛋白的理论分子量为53.1kDa,还原和非还原条件下该蛋白均呈现单一电泳条带,分子量与单体一致,因此该双特异性抗体为单体形式(图4-22A);CD3-BTLA BsAb_D重组蛋白的理论分子量为61.0kDa,还原条件下该蛋白电泳条带所呈现分子量与单体一致,非还原条件下电泳条带所呈现分子量与二聚体一致(图4-22B),说明两个蛋白分子可通过二硫键相互连接,因此该双特异性抗体为二聚体形式。
此外,纯化的重组蛋白样品经N/C末端序列分析,结果表明所表达的重组蛋白样品均读框无误,与理论N/C末端氨基酸序列一致,质谱分析进一步确认CD3-BTLA BsAb_M为单体形式,CD3-BTLA BsAb_D为二聚体形式。

2.封闭:PBS洗板4次后,加入封闭液PBSA(PBS+2%BSA(V/W)),200μl/孔。37℃封闭1小时;
3.加样:PBS洗板4次后,分别加入纯化的双特异性抗体样品,100μl/孔,37℃孵育1小时,样品梯度配制方法:以10μg/ml纯化的CD3-BTLA BsAb_M或CD3-BTLA BsAb_D作为起始浓度,进行倍比稀释6个梯度,每个梯度设置2个复孔;
4.显色:PBST(PBS+0.05%Tween-20(V/V))洗板4次后,用封闭液PBSA按1/5000稀释HRP标记的显色抗体(购自Abcam公司),按100μl/孔加入,37℃孵育1小时。PBS洗板4次后,添加显色液TMB(购自KPL公司),100μl/孔,室温避光显色5~10分钟;
5.终止反应与结果测定:添加终止液(1M HCl),100μl/孔,在酶标仪上450nm波长下读取吸光值。
ELISA结果如图4-23A和图4-23B所示:图4-23A说明CD3-BTLA BsAb_M与重组抗原CD3-hFc和BTLA-hFc均具有体外结合活性,其中BTLA结合活性较CD3结合活性更高;图4-23B说明CD3-BTLA BsAb_D与重组抗原CD3-hFc和BTLA-hFc同样具有体外结合活性,其中BTLA结合活性更高。
实施例4-29:CD3-BTLA双特异抗体介导的CIK细胞增殖
以人外周血单个核细胞(Peripheral blood mononuclear cell,PBMC)为实验材料,用本发明所制备的上述单体形式的双特异抗体CD3-BTLA BsAb_M、二聚体形式的双特异抗体CD3-BTLA BsAb_D、以及抗CD3/抗CD28单克隆全长抗体联用(Anti-CD3/Anti-CD28)分别作用于同一供体来源的人血PBMC,细胞培养后进行计数,比较扩增倍数。
1.PBMC的分离:取抗凝血,加入等体积的医用生理盐水,沿离心管壁缓慢加入与血液等体积的淋巴细胞分离液(购自GE Healthcare公司),保持液面分层明显,2000rpm离心
20min,吸取中间白雾状的细胞层于新的离心管中,加入2倍以上体积的PBS缓冲液洗涤,1100rpm离心10min,重复洗涤一次,用少量预冷的X-vivo 15无血清培养基(购自Lonza公司)重悬,细胞计数待用;
2.CIK细胞培养与扩增:将PBMC用CIK基础培养基(90%X-vivo15+10%FBS)重悬,调整细胞密度为1×106/ml,分别设计以下3个实验组:对照组(Anti-CD3 5ug/ml和Anti-CD28 5ug/ml包被细胞培养板,全长抗体均购自吴江近岸蛋白质科技有限公司);实验组1(溶液状态下添加双特异性抗体CD3-BTLA BsAb_M 10ng/ml);实验组2(溶液状态下添加双特异性抗体CD3-BTLA BsAb_D 10ng/ml)。此外,三组实验细胞同时添加细胞因子IFN-γ(200ng/ml,购自吴江近岸蛋白质科技有限公司)和IL-1β(2ng/ml,购自吴江近岸蛋白质科技有限公司),置于培养箱,在饱和湿度、37℃、5.0%CO2的条件下进行培养。培养过夜后,添加500U/ml的IL-2(购自吴江近岸蛋白质科技有限公司)继续培养,每2-3天计数并用添加500U/ml IL-2的CIK基础培养基按1×106/ml的密度进行细胞传代。照此方法培养30天,最终统计细胞的扩增倍数,绘制生长曲线;
检测结果如图4-24所示,单体和二聚体形式的CD3-BTLA双特异性抗体单一使用对CIK细胞的增殖效果均优于抗CD3/抗CD28单克隆全长抗体联合使用,培养18天后,Anti-CD3/Anti-CD28联用出现大量细胞死亡,细胞扩增倍数显著下降;而添加单体形式的CD3-BTLA BsAb_M或二聚体形式的CD3-BTLA BsAb_D均未出现细胞死亡,只是细胞扩增速度相对放缓。因此本发明制备的两种形式的CD3-BTLA双特异性抗体均可有效扩增和延长CIK细胞的生存期,其中二聚体形式效果更好。
实施例4-30:CD3-BTLA双特异抗体诱导的CIK细胞IFN-γ分泌
操作步骤:

2、用PBS清洗三次,添加HRP标记的IFN-γ抗体,37℃孵育45min;
3、用PBS清洗三次,添加TMB 100μl显色,室温显色5-10min;
4、添加终止液HCl(1M)终止,450nm波长下读取吸光值。
结果如图4-25所示:其中Anti-CD3/Anti-CD28全长抗体联用培养的CIK细胞所分泌的IFN-γ数量定义为1,溶液状态下添加单体形式的CD3-BTLA BsAb_M培养的CIK细胞IFN-γ相对分泌量为1.54,溶液状态下添加二聚体形式的CD3-BTLA BsAb_D培养的CIK细胞IFN-γ相对分泌量为2.24,因此本发明制备的两种形式的CD3-BTLA双特异抗体均更有利于活化CIK细胞,诱导IFN-γ的分泌,其中二聚体形式效果更佳。
