  • Antibody antigen recognition epitopes are one of the important characteristics of antibodies. Anti-PD-1 antibodies play a role in activating T cells by blocking the binding of PD-1 to its ligand PD-L1/PD-L2. Although the antibodies reported so far can block the interaction between PD-1 and ligands, the epitopes they target are not exactly the same (Tan S, Zhang H, Chai Y, et al. An unexpected N- terminal Loop in PD-1 dominates binding by nivolumab.Nat Commun. 2017; 8:14369).

Description

重组抗人PD-1抗体及其应用
本专利申请要求于2019年1月10日提交的申请号为201910022548.9的中国专利申请的优先权权益,在此将其全部内容引入作为参考。
技术领域
本发明涉及抗体药物领域,具体而言,本发明涉及针对人PD-1的抗体及其用于制备药物的用途。
背景技术
程序性细胞死亡蛋白1(PD-1),也被称为CD279,是T细胞受体CD28家族的成员,表达于多种免疫细胞,如T细胞,B细胞,单核细胞等的表面,是一种在肿瘤微环境中抑制CD4+和CD8+T细胞功能的重要的免疫检查点分子。PD-1的关键配体包括PD-L1(B7-H1)和PD-L2(B7-DC),它们由免疫细胞表达,并且还可以在多种组织上诱导,当T细胞上的PD-1结合PD-L1或PD-L2时,T细胞接收抑制信号,从而抑制T细胞增殖和细胞因子产生,会有效降低T细胞参与的免疫应答。而PD-L1和PD-L2在多种人类肿瘤细胞上高表达,因此使得肿瘤细胞逃避T细胞的监督(Pardoll DM.The blockade of immune checkpoints in cancer immunotherapy.Nat.Rev.Cancer12(4),252–264(2012))。
目前在全球范围内已上市的抗人PD-1的单抗共有3种。抗人PD-1的全人源抗体纳武单抗(Nivolumab)显示抑制PD-1与PD-L1和PD-L2的结合,临床用于治疗晚期黑色素瘤,非小细胞肺癌,肾细胞癌,霍奇金淋巴瘤,头颈部鳞癌,尿路上皮癌,结直肠癌和肝细胞癌;抗人PD-1的人源化抗体派姆单抗(Perbrolizumab)显示抑制PD-1与PD-L1和PD-L2的结合,临床用于治疗恶性黑色素瘤,非小细胞肺癌,经典型霍奇金淋巴瘤,头颈部鳞癌,d-mmr突变或MSI-H恶性肿瘤(Alsaab et al.PD-1 and PD-L1Checkpoint Signaling Inhibition for Cancer Immunotherapy:Mechanism,Combinations,and Clinical Outcome.Front.Pharmacol.8:561)。抗人PD-1的Libtayo单抗(Cemiplimab)可与PD-1结合并阻断其与PD-L1和PD-L2的相互作用,释放PD-1通路介导的免疫应答抑制,包括抗肿瘤免疫应答,临床用于治疗转移性皮肤鳞状细胞癌(CSCC)患者或局部晚期CSCC患者 (Markham,A.&Duggan,S.Drugs.2018.doi:10.1007/s40265-018-1012-5)。国内处于临床阶段的抗人PD-1的单抗就有10多种,适应症覆盖复发难治恶性淋巴瘤,霍奇金淋巴瘤,B细胞非霍奇金淋巴瘤,腺泡状软组织肉瘤,晚期或复发性恶性肿瘤,食管癌、胃癌或胃食管结合部癌,鼻咽癌、头颈部鳞癌,肺癌,转移性结直肠癌,局限性肾细胞癌,尿路上皮癌,肝细胞癌,黑色素瘤,晚期三阴性乳腺癌,胸膜间皮瘤,晚期神经内分泌肿瘤,不可切除或d-mmr突变或MSI-H实体瘤。其中恒瑞的SHR-1210、百济神州的tislelizumab、信达的IBI-308已递交上市申请,君实的JS001已于12月17日有条件批准上市,名为特瑞普利单抗注射液(商品名:拓益)。
国际上,抗PD-1的抗体已经有三个上市品种,多个临床在研品种。涉及的专利包括:WO2004004771,WO2006121168,WO2008156712,WO2010029435,WO2012145493,WO2015085847,US20170044260,CN104250302,CN105330740,CN105531288等。通过分析这些专利发现,可以通过杂交瘤筛选、人源化途径,或通过噬菌体展示或者酵母表面展示技术,或通过转基因小鼠技术获得抗PD-1的抗体。其中WO2015085847中获得抗人PD-1的抗体的方法为:利用杂交瘤技术获得鼠抗体,通过抗体活性分析(ELISA(结合,阻断),亲和力动力学)获得候选鼠抗体后;将鼠抗体轻重链基因可变区序列克隆至编码人抗体轻重链恒定区序列的上游,进行哺乳动物细胞表达,制备嵌合抗体,然后通过抗体活性分析,阻断PD-1与其配体结合实验,与CD28其他家族成员结合实验,与细胞表面PD-1结合实验,体外细胞学实验确定先导抗体后;根据Germline数据库选择人源化模板,进行抗体序列人源化设计,获得的人源化抗体再次通过抗体活性分析,阻断PD-1与其配体结合实验,与CD28其他家族成员结合实验,与细胞表面PD-1结合实验,体外细胞学实验验证后;再进行人源化抗体对体内外肿瘤细胞生长抑制实验进行最后的成药性评价,最终获得亲和力和特异性保持不变的PD-1人源化抗体序列。
抗体的抗原识别表位是抗体的重要特性之一。抗PD-1抗体,通过阻断PD-1与其配体PD-L1/PD-L2的结合发挥激活T细胞的作用。目前已报道的抗体虽然都能阻断PD-1与配体的相互作用,但其所针对的抗原表位却并不完全相同(Tan S,Zhang H,Chai Y,et al.An unexpected N-terminal loop in PD-1 dominates binding by nivolumab.Nat Commun.2017;8:14369)。而抗原表位的不同,可能导致抗体在药效和安全性上具有独特的特点。
发明内容
本发明要解决的技术问题是,通过杂交瘤筛选和人源化技术,获得特异性结合人PD-1的高亲和力抗体,其不但能够有效阻断PD-1/PD-L1、PD-1/PD-L2相互作用,而且具有独特的抗原结合表位,因此在药效和安全性上具有独特的性质。
针对上述技术问题,本发明的目的是提供一种特异性结合人PD-1的抗体或其功能片段,并提供其用途。
本发明的技术方案如下。

在本发明中,利用人PD-1胞外区结构域重组蛋白(序列号:NP_005009.2,21aa-167aa),免疫小鼠后取脾细胞,利用杂交瘤技术筛选获得与人PD-1胞外区结构域重组蛋白和细胞表面人PD-1均具有高亲和力结合,并且能特异性阻断PD-1/PD-L1、PD-1/PD-L2配受体结合的抗体分子(本发明中命名为317),进一步通过人源化技术获得亲和力和特异性保持不变的人源化抗体(本发明中命名为h317),对其全抗体IgG4的结合、阻断、促进T细胞活化及体内抗肿瘤药效进行了全面的评估,并且构建了其Fab和PD-1-ECD的晶体复合物,通过晶体衍射和进一步的突变体验证确认了其抗 原结合表位。
实验证明,本发明抗体能够有效阻断PD-1和PD-L1/PD-L1的结合,同时与Nivolumab和帕博利珠单抗(Keytruda)具有竞争结合关系;但是,通过抗原抗体复合物晶体结构分析发现,本发明抗体的抗原结合表位与Nivolumab和Keytruda均不同,是首个明确抗原表位与PD-1的第58位Glu的N糖基化位点相关的抗体分子。
具体而言,与现有技术相比,本发明具有以下有益之处:
第一,本发明的抗体为具有高亲和力的抗PD-1人源化抗体。
本发明的人源化抗PD-1抗体h317可以特异性结合人PD-1蛋白,其亲和力(KD)为6.16E-09M,而对照抗体Nivolumab亲和力(KD)为8.06E-09M,且在同等条件下,h317解离(kd(1/s)9.50E-04)优于Nivolumab解离(kd(1/s):1.69E-03),表明h317与人PD-1具有高亲和力,为h317对PD-1/PD-L1信号通路的抑制作用提供了依据。
第二,本发明的抗体具有良好的生物学活性。
实验证明,本发明的h317可以有效阻断重组人PD-1与其配体PD-L1和PD-L2的结合作用,二者IC50均为1.4nM,与对照抗体Nivolumab(IC50:1.3nM)的阻断活性相近,并且在体外实验中证明h317可以促进人混合淋巴细胞分泌杀伤性细胞因子IL-2和IFN-γ,即可以诱导Th1型细胞介导的免疫反应。
第三,本发明的抗体具有特殊的抗原识别表位。
本发明抗体特异性结合人PD-1,其结合的抗原表位具有独特性。
PD-1-h317-Fab复合物整体结构分析显示,PD-1抗原(胞外区1-167aa)以单体形式存在,与PD-1抗体的h317-Fab片段形成一个1:1的复合物结构。PD-1与抗体的结合部位主要是在其loop区,包括BC loop,C’D loop和FG loop区域。此外,在PD-1抗原结构中可以观察到N49、N58、N116位点的糖基化,N74的糖基化位点不明确,其中N58位的糖链参与了与h317-Fab的结合。相比之下,其他已报道的PD-1抗原抗体复合物结构中该位点的糖链没有参与二者相互作用。并且,根据晶体复合物信息将PD-1上的4个糖基化位点分别定点突变为丙氨酸(A),并瞬转至293细胞,通过FACS检测h317与PD-1-mut分子的结合情况,结果表明PD-1的N58位突变为A失去糖基化使得h317失去与PD-1的结合能力,因此h317是首个明确抗原表位与N58糖链相关的抗体分子。
第四,本发明抗体在PD-1转基因鼠移植瘤模型中有明显的抑瘤效果。
在PD-1转基因鼠移植瘤模型中,h317在高剂量(10mg/kg)和中剂量(2mg/kg)下可显著抑制PD-1转基因鼠皮下移植瘤的生长,在高中剂量水平下h317与其参比抗体Nivolumab的抑瘤效果相当。

去糖基化人PD-1重组蛋白与h317的结合:在人PD-1抗原(NP_005009.2)结构中可以观察到N49、N58、N116、N74位四个糖基化位点,通过定点突变的方法,将糖基化位点突变为丙氨酸(A),装入带有EGFP的表达载体共构建5种人PD-1全长表达质粒(WT,N49A、N58A、N116A、N74A),将质粒分别与293fectin混合后共转染入HEK293细胞中。细胞转染2天,取细胞,收集细胞于96孔板中,1500rpm,离心2min,弃上清。加入200μl PBS重悬,1500rpm,离心2min,弃上清。加入200μl用5%BSA稀释的一抗(h317(Lot:2017.05.24),Nivolumab(Lot:2017.04.26)),工作浓度为2μg/ml,阴性对照不加一抗,室温孵育1h。1500rpm,离心2min,弃上清。加入200μl PBS重悬,1500rpm,离心2min,弃上清。加入200μl用5%BSA稀释的羊抗人IgG(Fc)-Cy5(Cat:12136,Lot:017M4800V,Sigma),4℃孵育1h。1500rpm,离心2min,弃上清。加入200μl PBS重悬,1500rpm,离心2min,弃上清。加入200μl PBS重悬,流式细胞仪(型号B49007AD,SNAW31211)检测。
PD-1-h317-Fab复合物整体结构分析显示,PD-1抗原(胞外区1-167aa)以单体形式存在,与PD-1抗体的h317-Fab片段形成一个1:1的复合物结构(图13)。PD-1与抗体的结合部位主要是在其loop区,包括BC loop,C’D loop和FG loop区域(图14)。相互作用方式包括氢键、盐键、范德华力以及疏 水相互作用,参与相互作用的氨基酸及作用力(表8)。

Figure PCTCN2020071353-appb-000016
此外,在PD-1抗原结构中可以观察到N49、N58、N116位点的糖基化,N74的糖基化位点不明确,其中N58位的糖链参与了与h317-Fab的结合(图15)。其他已报道的PD-1抗原抗体复合物结构中该位点的糖链没有参与二者相互作用,因此h317-Fab与N58糖链的相互作用有可能提高了二者识别和结合的特异性。将PD-1上的糖基化位点突变,并瞬转至293细胞,通过FACS检测h317与PD-1-mut分子的结合情况;FACS结果显示人PD-1的N58糖链参与h317与PD-1的结合,N58突变为A失去糖基化使h317失去与PD-1表达细胞结合(图16),PD-1的N58糖链参与h317与PD-1的结合。通过比较PD-1-h317-Fab复合物结构与PD-1/PD-L1的复合物结构发现,h317-Fab和PD-L1在与PD-1相互作用界面上存在很大面积的重叠(图17A),大部 分重叠部位在PD-1的FGloop(图17B),表明h317-Fab结合PD-1与PD-L1具有竞争性,能够阻断PD-1与PD-L1之间的相互作用。
实施例13 h317轻、重链CDR区定向突变
1.根据PD-1-h317Fab晶体复合物结构解析,构建h317轻、重链CDR区突变体,表达载体的构建采用质粒定点突变的方法进行,具体可参照文献[王荣浩,陈瑞川,刘润忠。快速点突变的优化方法。厦门大学学报(自然科学版),2008,Vol 47,sup 2,282-285]。突变体抗体表达和纯化方法同上。
2.突变体相对亲和力比较
突变体与亲本抗体亲和力比较采用Fortebio公司的Octet QKe system仪器完成。具体方法同实施例4,不同之处在于所有突变体亲和力仅测定单线以评估相对亲和力。首先包被相同目标值的待测抗体,并以100nM的人PD-1重组蛋白(序列号:NP_005009.2,21aa-167aa)为流动相进行相对亲和力测定。
对突变体抗体亲和力测定结果显示,多个位点突变后抗体的亲和力发生较大改变,突变位点信息如表9,部分亲和力变化如表10所示。
表9. h317突变体CDR区的氨基酸序列

Figure PCTCN2020071353-appb-000019
Figure PCTCN2020071353-appb-000020
从表中数据看出,个别位置的氨基酸突变后,对亲和力会产生较大影响,有些位点亲和力降低10倍以上。同时,有些位点突变后抗体的亲和力有所提升,比如轻链第24位K突变为R、第56位T突变成S、第92位S突变为N后,重链第33位D突变为S、第54位G突变成S、第59位Y突变为A后,均可使抗体亲和力得到一定提高,并且这些突变位点可以进一步叠加突变,其亲和力保持不变或进一步提高。HCDR3对结合至关重要,突变后大多亲和力下降。
