Abstract

提供一种融合蛋白、与其相关的免疫缀合物、核酸分子、载体、组合物、细胞和制备方法,用于治疗肿瘤和/或自免疫疾病。

Description

一种融合蛋白及其用途 技术领域
本申请涉及生物医药领域,具体的涉及一种多特异性融合蛋白,还涉及其在治疗肿瘤和/或自免疫疾病中的用途。
背景技术
目前,在肿瘤治疗领域,存在施用靶向药物和免疫治疗两大方法。这这两种治疗方法可能有相互作用,导致更强的细胞毒性作用,稳定而持续地缓解肿瘤。然而,靶向药物和免疫治疗之间的相互作用是非常复杂的,种类、剂量、顺序、剂型等各种因素都可能会影响联合治疗的整体抗肿瘤效果和毒性特征。
程序性死亡蛋白1(programmed death 1,PD-1)抗体是一种免疫疗法。PD-1表达于活化的T细胞,B细胞及髓系细胞,其有两个配体,即程序性死亡分子配体-1(programmed death ligand 1,PD-L1)和PD-L2。PD-1和/或PD-L1抑制剂能够特异性地和肿瘤细胞上的PD-L1结合来达到抗肿瘤作用,然而其临床反应率低,还会带来一些副作用,如引发肺炎、结肠炎、肝炎等。
CD47蛋白是一种跨膜糖蛋白,属于免疫球蛋白超家族成员,除正常组织细胞表达CD47以外,许多肿瘤细胞过度表达CD47。肿瘤细胞表面的CD47与巨噬细胞表面的SIRPα相结合会阻止巨噬细胞对肿瘤细胞的吞噬,这被视为肿瘤逃避机体免疫监视的一种机制。阻断CD47蛋白和SIRPα的相互作用,可抑制肿瘤增长。
然而,现有的用于阻断CD47蛋白和SIRPα相互作用的试剂识别活性有限,其与CD47蛋白的亲和力往往不足,对肿瘤的抑制能力有限。同时,现有靶向CD47的抗体类药物存在引起贫血反应或者血小板减少的副作用。亟待获得同时特异性靶向CD47蛋白和相关肿瘤抗原的有效疗法。

具体实施方式
以下由特定的具体实施例说明本申请发明的实施方式,熟悉此技术的人士可由本说明书所公开的内容容易地了解本申请发明的其他优点及效果。
在本申请中,术语“融合蛋白”通常指由两个或更多个蛋白或多肽融合得到的蛋白。融 合蛋白可通过重组DNA技术人工制备。例如,编码所述两个或更多个蛋白或多肽的基因或核酸分子可彼此连接而形成融合基因或融合的核酸分子,该融合基因或融合的核酸分子可编码所述融合蛋白。所述融合基因的翻译可以产生单一多肽,其可以具有融合前的所述两个或更多个蛋白或多肽中至少一个、甚至每一个的性质。
在本发明中,术语“特异性结合”通常是指两分子间的非随机结合反应,如抗体和产生该抗体的抗原间的反应。一个某抗原特异性抗体是指以亲和力(KD)≤10 -5M(如10 -6M、10 - 7M、10 -8M、10 -9M、10 -10M等)结合该抗原,其中KD指解离率与结合率的比值(koff/kon),其可以采用本领域技术人员熟悉的方法进行测定。
在本申请中,术语“结合域”通常是可以特异性结合和/或识别靶标(例如抗原)上的特定表位的结构域。在本申请中,术语“结构域”通常是指蛋白质亚基结构中明显分开的紧密球状结构区域。例如,多肽链首先可以是在某些区域相邻的氨基酸残基形成有规则的二级结构,然后,又可以由相邻的二级结构片段组装在一起形成超二级结构,在此基础上多肽链可以折叠成近似于球状的三级结构。对于较大的蛋白质分子或亚基,多肽链往往可以由两个或多个在空间上可明显区分的、相对独立的区域性结构缔合而成三级结构,这种相对独立的区域性结构可以称为结构域。
在本申请中,术语“第一结合域”和“第二结合域”中的所述“第一”、“第二”可以只是为了在描述上进行区分。
在本申请中,术语“CD47蛋白”通常是指整联蛋白相关蛋白(IAP),其为一种属于免疫球蛋白超家族的多次跨膜受体。例如,CD47蛋白可与膜整合素(membrane integrins)结合,并与其配体凝血栓蛋白-1(thrombospondin-1,TSP-1)和信号调节蛋白α(signal-regulatory protein alpha,SIRPα)结合。CD47蛋白广泛表达于细胞膜表面。在本申请中,所述CD47蛋白可包括人CD47的任何变体、同种型和物种同系物。人CD47蛋白的氨基酸序列在GenBank中作为CEJ95640.1列出。所述CD47蛋白可以由细胞天然表达或在用CD47基因转染的细胞上表达。
在本申请中,术语“SIRPα”通常是指来自SIRP家族的调节性膜糖蛋白,其可作为CD47蛋白的配体。在本申请中,所述SIRPα可包括人SIRPα。例如,SIRPα变体1和SIRPα变体2。所述SIRPα变体2与所述SIRPα变体1有13个氨基酸不同,并且其氨基酸序列在GenBank中作为CAA71403.1列出。在本申请中,术语“SIRPα变体1”通常是指氨基酸序列作为NCBI RefSeq NP_542970.1列出(残基31-504构成成熟型)的SIRPα蛋白,此时SIRPα变体1的氨基酸序列如SEQ ID NO:29所示。
术语“抗体”通常是指包含一个或多个基本上由免疫球蛋白基因或免疫球蛋白基因片段编 码的多肽的蛋白质。例如,免疫球蛋白基因可以包括κ、λ、α、γ、δ、ε和μ恒定区基因,以及无数的免疫球蛋白可变区基因。例如,轻链可被分类为κ或λ,其可以分别定义免疫球蛋白类型:Igκ和Igλ。重链可被分类为γ、μ、α、δ或ε,其依次分别定义免疫球蛋白类别:IgG、IgM、IgA、IgD和IgE。例如,抗体可具有包含四聚体的结构单元,每个四聚体可由两对相同的多肽链组成,每对具有一条“轻”链(约25kD)和一条“重链”(约50-70kD),每个成员的N末端可以界定约100至110个或更多个氨基酸的可变区,其主要负责抗原识别。例如,术语“轻链可变区(VL)”和“重链可变区(VH)”通常分别指轻链和重链的可变区区域。抗体可作为完整免疫球蛋白存在或作为通过用各种肽酶消化或从头表达产生的许多充分表征的片段存在。
在本发明中,术语“抗原结合片段”通常是指全长抗体的一个或多个部分,所述部分基本上保持结合抗体所结合的相同抗原(例如,PD-L1)的能力,能够与全长抗体竞争对抗原的特异性结合。通常参见,Fundamental Immunology,Ch.7(Paul,W.,ed.,第2版,Raven Press,N.Y.(1989),并且将其全文通过引用并入本申请。可通过重组DNA技术或通过完整抗体的酶促或化学断裂产生抗原结合片段。在一些情况下,抗原结合片段包括Fab、Fab'、F(ab')2、(Fab)2、Fd、Fv、dAb和互补决定区(CDR)片段、单链抗体(例如,scFv)、嵌合抗体、双抗体(diabody)和这样的多肽,其包含足以赋予多肽特异性抗原结合能力的抗体的至少一部分。可使用本领域技术人员已知的常规技术(例如,重组DNA技术或酶促或化学断裂法)从给定的抗体获得抗体的抗原结合片段,并且以与对于完整抗体的方式相同的方式就特异性筛选抗体的抗原结合片段。例如,胃蛋白酶可以消化铰链区中二硫键以下的抗体以产生F(ab')2。
在本申请中,术语“Fab”通常指由VL、VH、CL和CH1结构域组成的抗体片段。
在本申请中,术语“Fab'”通常是指与Fab片段相比在CH1结构域的羧基末端具有几个额外的残基的抗体片段。例如,Fab'可包括来自抗体铰链区的一个或多个半胱氨酸。
在本申请中,术语“F(ab) 2”通常是指由半胱氨酸相连接的成对的Fab片段所得到的抗原结合片段。
在本申请中,术语“dAb片段”通常是指由VH结构域组成的抗体片段(Ward等人,Nature 341:544-546(1989))。
在本申请中,术语“互补决定区CDR”通常是指轻链可变区(VL)与重链可变区(VH)的3个高变区(HVR),该部位因在空间结构上可与抗原决定簇形成精密的互补,故高变区又称互补性决定区。
在本申请中,术语“Fv片段”通常是指由抗体的单臂的VL和VH结构域组成的抗体片段。
在本申请中,术语“scFv”通常是指是由抗体重链可变区和轻链可变区通过短肽连接子(linker)连接而成的分子,又称为单链抗体。
在本申请中,术语“单克隆抗体”通常是指一群基本同源的抗体,包含于该群的各个抗体除了可能的以微量存在的天然发生的突变之外可以是相同的。单克隆抗体是高度特异性的,直接针对单个抗原性位点。此外,与包括针对不同决定簇(表位)的不同抗体的多克隆抗体制备物相反,每个单克隆抗体针对抗原上的单一决定簇修饰语"单克隆"不是被解释为需要通过任何特殊方法产生抗体。例如,所述单克隆抗体可以通过杂交瘤技术制备或者通过使用重组DNA方法在细菌、真核动物或植物细胞中产生单克隆抗体,也可以得自噬菌体抗体文库,使用例如Clackson et al.,Nature,352:624-628(1991)和Marks et al.,Mol.Biol.,222:581-597(1991)所述的技术进行。
在本申请中,术语“嵌合抗体”通常是指这样的抗体,其中每个重链或轻链氨基酸序列的一部分与来自特定物种的抗体中相应氨基酸序列同源,或者属于特定的类别,而该链的其余区段则与另一物种中的相应序列同源。例如,轻链和重链的可变区均来自一个动物物种(如小鼠、大鼠等)的抗体的可变区,而恒定部分则与来自另一物种(如人)的抗体序列同源。例如,为获得嵌合抗体,可利用非人源的B细胞或杂交瘤细胞产生可变区,而与其组合的恒定区则来自人。所述可变区具有易于制备的优点,并且其特异性不受与其组合的恒定区的来源的影响。同时,由于嵌合抗体的恒定区可来源于人类,因此嵌合抗体在注射时抗体引发免疫应答的可能性会低于使用恒定区为非人来源的抗体。
在本申请中,术语“人源化抗体”通常是指将衍生自非人物种(例如小鼠或大鼠)的抗体、免疫球蛋白结合蛋白和多肽对人体的免疫原性降低,同时仍保留原始抗体的抗原结合特性的改造抗体。例如,可以使用遗传工程技术制备人源化抗体,可以使用CDR移植(Jones et al.,Nature 321:522(1986))及其变体;包括“重塑”(reshaping),(Verhoeyen,et al.,1988 Science 239:1534-1536;Riechmann,et al.,1988 Nature 332:323-337;Tempest,et al.,Bio/Technol 1991 9:266-271),“高度加成”(hyperchimerization),(Queen,et al.,1989Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 86:10029-10033;Co,et al.,1991Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 88:2869-2873;Co,et al.,1992 J Immunol 148:1149-1154)和“贴面”(veneering),(Mark,et al.,“Derivation of therapeutically active humanized and veneered anti-CD18 antibodies.”In:Metcalf B W,Dalton B J,eds.Cellular adhesion:molecular definition to therapeutic potential.New York:Plenum Press,1994:291-312)等技术手段,对非人源的结合域进行人源化。如果其他区域,例如铰链区和恒定区结构域也源自非人来源,则这些区域也可以被人源化。
在本申请中,术语“全人源抗体”通常是指由基因工程改造的抗体基因缺失动物中表达编 码人类抗体的基因得到的抗体。例如,可以将人类抗体基因通过转基因或转染色体技术,将编码人类抗体的基因全部转移至基因工程改造的抗体基因缺失动物中,使动物表达的人类抗体
在本申请中涉及的蛋白质、多肽和/或氨基酸序列,还应理解为至少包含以下的范围:与该所述蛋白质或多肽具备相同或类似功能的变体或同源物。
在本申请中,所述变体可以为,在所述蛋白质和/或所述多肽(例如,特异性结合PD-L1蛋白的抗体或其片段)的氨基酸序列中经过取代、缺失或添加一个或多个氨基酸的蛋白质或多肽。例如,所述功能性变体可包含已经通过至少1个,例如1-30个、1-20个或1-10个,又例如1个、2个、3个、4个或5个氨基酸取代、缺失和/或插入而具有氨基酸改变的蛋白质或多肽。所述功能性变体可基本上保持改变(例如取代、缺失或添加)之前的所述蛋白质或所述多肽的生物学特性。例如,所述功能性变体可保持改变之前的所述蛋白质或所述多肽的至少60%,70%,80%,90%,或100%的生物学活性(例如抗原结合能力)。例如,所述取代可以为保守取代。
在本申请中,所述同源物可以为,与所述蛋白质和/或所述多肽(例如,特异性结合PD-L1蛋白的抗体或其片段)的氨基酸序列具有至少约85%(例如,具有至少约85%、约90%、约91%、约92%、约93%、约94%、约95%、约96%、约97%、约98%、约99%或更高的)序列同源性的蛋白质或多肽。

将SIRPα-His包被酶联板,1ug/ml,4℃过夜;PBST洗涤后,加入10%的胎牛血清,37℃封闭1小时;使用10%的胎牛血分别梯度稀释SS002M91、SG12473、SG12474,并在样品中加入Biotin-Fc-CD47至终浓度2μg/ml,37℃预孵育30min,作为一抗;PBST洗涤酶联板后,加入一抗,37℃孵育1小时;PBST洗5遍,加入辣根过氧化物酶标记的亲和素(Streptavidin-HRP,嘉暄生物),37℃孵育30分钟;PBST洗5遍,每孔加入100μL TMB(eBioscience),室温(20±5℃)避光放置1-5min;每孔加入100μL 2N H 2SO 4终止液终止底物反应,酶标仪450nm处读取OD值,分析SS002M91、SG12473、SG12474对CD47/SIRPα的阻断作用。
结果如图6所示,图6显示融合蛋白SG12473、SG12474与融合蛋白SS002M91一样可以竞争性阻断CD47与其配体SIRPα的结合。其中SG12473的IC50值为1.26nM,SG12474的IC50值为0.77nM,SS002M91的IC50值为1.16nM。

以SG1201、SG1202为对照,评价融合蛋白SG12473、SG12474阻断PD-1/PD-L1相互作用的生物学活性。
将PD-L1-Fc包被酶联板,2ug/ml,4℃过夜;PBST洗涤后,加入10%的胎牛血清,37℃封闭1小时;使用10%的胎牛血分别梯度稀释SG1201、SG12473、SG1202和SG12474,并在样品中加入Biotin-Fc-PD1至终浓度1ug/ml,37℃预孵育30min,作为一抗;PBST洗涤酶 联板后,加入一抗,37℃孵育1小时;PBST洗5遍,加入辣根过氧化物酶标记的亲和素(Streptavidin-HRP,嘉暄生物),37℃孵育30分钟;PBST洗5遍,每孔加入100μL TMB(eBioscience),室温(20±5℃)避光放置1-5min;每孔加入100μL 2N H 2SO 4终止液终止底物反应,酶标仪450nm处读取OD值,分析SG1201、SG12473、SG1202和SG12474对PD-1/PD-L1的阻断作用。
从图7-8中可以看出,融合蛋白SG12473、SG12474与SG1201、SG1202一样可以竞争性阻断PD-1与PD-L1的结合。其中SG1201的IC50值为11.23nM,SG12473的IC50值为13.22nM,SG1202的IC50值为10.89nM,SG12474的IC50值为9.12nM。
实施例6融合蛋白体内抑制肿瘤活性
人源淋巴瘤KARPAS-299细胞株皮下异种移植雌性NCG小鼠MiXeno动物模型,评价融合蛋白SG12473抑制肿瘤活性的效果。
选择雌性,6~8周龄的NCG小鼠(购自江苏集萃药康生物技术有限公司)进行试验。小鼠于皮下接种KARPAS-299细胞,定期观察肿瘤生长情况,待肿瘤生长至平均体积35mm 3时根据肿瘤大小和小鼠体重随机分组给药。分组当天(约Day4)经尾静脉接种新鲜人PBMC(来源于捐献者),建立KARPAS-299人源化小鼠模型。
试验分为溶媒对照组、SG1201组以及SG12473低、中、高剂量组,每组12只,每6只小鼠使用同一来源的PBMC。腹腔注射给药,每周给药两次,共给药三周。具体地,
组1A和组1B:溶媒对照组
组2A和组2B:SG1201组,SG1201 5mg/Kg
组3A和组3B:SG12473低剂量组,SG12473 5mg/Kg
组4A和组4B:SG12473中剂量组,SG12473 10mg/Kg
组5A和组5B:SG12473高剂量组,SG12473 20mg/Kg;
根据相对肿瘤抑制率(TGI)进行疗效评价,根据动物体重变化和死亡情况进行安全性评价。
结果显示,使用捐献者A来源的PBMC的小鼠中,SG12473低、中、高剂量组均表现出显著的抑瘤作用。图9的结果显示,SG12473低、中、高剂量组在给药完成时TGI分别为44.71%、47.16%和96.49%,在给药完成4天后TGI分别为43.71%、47.92%和95.94%,相对溶媒对照组统计学上均有显著性差异(p值均<0.01)。SG1201在测试剂量下没有表现出明显的抑瘤作用。
使用捐献者B来源的PBMC的小鼠中,SG12473低、中、高剂量组均表现出显著的抑瘤 作用。图10的结果显示,SG12473低、中、高剂量组在给药完成时TGI分别为36.96%、62.06%和98.90%,在给药完成4天后TGI分别为33.44%、57.57%和98.83%,相对溶媒对照组统计学上均有显著性差异(p值均<0.01)。SG1201在测试剂量下没有表现出明显的抑瘤作用。
各治疗组均无动物死亡,没有表现明显的药物毒性,治疗期间耐受良好。
