Description

抗CEA抗体及其应用
本公开要求中国专利申请《抗CEA抗体及其应用》的优先权(申请号为201910560329.6;申请日为2019年06月26日)。
技术领域
本公开涉及抗体药物领域。具体地,包括抗CEA抗体药物以及其应用。
背景技术
这里的陈述仅提供与本公开有关的背景信息,而不必然地构成现有技术。
癌胚抗原(CEA,又称为CEACAM-5或CD66e)是最早被人们发现的肿瘤相关抗原之一,它是一种具有约180kDa分子量的糖蛋白,CEA是免疫球蛋白超家族的一名成员,并且含有经由糖基磷脂酰肌醇(GPI)锚与细胞膜连接的7个域(Thompson J.A.,J Clin Lab Anal.5:344-366,1991)。CEA最初由Gold P和Freedman SO在结肠癌组织提取物中发现并报道(Gold and Freedman 1965;Gold and Freedman 1965),随后报道了利用敏感的放射性免疫分析的方法在结肠癌病人和其他肿瘤病人的血清中检测到CEA,而在健康人或其他疾病患者血清中CEA的含量极低(Thomson,Krupey等人1969)。CEA在癌细胞中表达升高,升高的CEA促进细胞间粘着,进而促进细胞的转移(Marshall J.,Semin Oncol.,30(增刊8):30-6,2003)。CEA常见表达在上皮组织,包括胃肠、呼吸和泌尿生殖道的细胞,及结肠、宫颈、汗腺和前列腺的细胞(Nap等,Tumour Biol.,9(2-3):145-53,1988;Nap等,Cancer Res.,52(8):2329-23339,1992)。

本公开所述的“抗体”是一种免疫球蛋白,通常完整抗体是由两条相同的重链和两条相同的轻链通过链间二硫键连接而成的四肽链结构。免疫球蛋白重链恒定区的氨基酸组成和排列顺序不同,故其抗原性也不同。据此,可将免疫球蛋白分为五类,或称为免疫球蛋白的同种型,即IgM、IgD、IgG、IgA和IgE,其相应的重链分别为μ链、δ链、γ链、α链、和ε链。同一类Ig根据其铰链区氨基酸组成和重链二硫键的数目和位置的差别,又可分为不同的亚类,如IgG可分为IgG1、IgG2、IgG3、IgG4。轻链通过恒定区的不同分为κ链或λ链。五类Ig中每类Ig都可以有 κ链或λ链。
抗体重链和轻链靠近N端的约110个氨基酸的序列变化很大,为可变区(Fv区);靠近C端的其余氨基酸序列相对稳定,为恒定区。可变区包括3个高变区(HVR)和4个序列相对保守的骨架区(FR)。3个高变区决定抗体的特异性,又称为互补性决定区(CDR)。每条轻链可变区(VL)和重链可变区(VH)由3个CDR区4个FR区组成,从氨基端到羧基端依次排列的顺序为:FR1,CDR1,FR2,CDR2,FR3,CDR3,FR4。轻链的3个CDR区指LCDR1、LCDR2、和LCDR3;重链的3个CDR区指HCDR1、HCDR2和HCDR3。
本公开的抗体包括鼠源抗体、嵌合抗体和人源化抗体。本公开抗体除包括全长抗体外,还包括能结合抗原的抗原结合片段。
术语“鼠源抗体”在本公开中为根据本领域知识和技能制备的针对人CEA的单克隆抗体。制备时用CEA抗原注射试验对象,然后分离表达具有所需序列或功能特性的抗体的杂交瘤。在本公开一个优选的实施方案中,所述的鼠源抗CEA抗体或其抗原结合片段,可进一步包含鼠源κ、λ链或其变体的轻链恒定区,或进一步包含鼠源IgG1、IgG2、IgG3或其变体的重链恒定区。
术语“嵌合抗体(chimeric antibody)”,是将鼠源性抗体的可变区与人抗体的恒定区融合而成的抗体,可以减轻鼠源性抗体诱发的免疫应答反应。建立嵌合抗体,要先建立分泌鼠源性特异性单抗的杂交瘤,然后从鼠杂交瘤细胞中克隆可变区基因,再根据需要克隆人抗体的恒定区基因,将鼠可变区基因与人恒定区基因连接成嵌合基因后插入表达载体中,最后在真核系统或原核系统中表达嵌合抗体分子。在本公开一个优选的实施方案中,所述的PD-L1嵌合抗体的抗体轻链进一步包含人源κ、λ链或其变体的轻链恒定区。所述的CEA嵌合抗体的抗体重链进一步包含人源IgG1、IgG2、IgG3、IgG4或其变体的重链恒定区,优选包含人源IgG1、IgG2或IgG4重链恒定区,或者使用氨基酸突变(例如L234A和/或L235A突变,和/或S228P突变)的IgG1、IgG2或IgG4变体。
术语“人源化抗体(humanized antibody)”,也称为CDR移植抗体(CDR-grafted antibody),是指将鼠的CDR序列移植到人的抗体可变区框架,即不同类型的人种系抗体框架序列中产生的抗体。可以克服嵌合抗体由于携带大量鼠蛋白成分,从而诱导的异源性反应。此类构架序列可以从包括种系抗体基因序列的公共DNA数据库或公开的参考文献获得。如人重链和轻链可变区基因的种系DNA序列可以在“VBase”人种系序列数据库(在因特网www.mrccpe.com.ac.uk/vbase可获得),以及在Kabat,E.A.等人,1991Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest,第5版中找到。为避免免疫原性下降的同时,引起的活性下降,可对所述的人抗体可变区框架序列进行最少反向突变或回复突变,以保持活性。本公开的人源化抗体也包括进一步由酵母菌展示对CDR进行亲和力成熟突变后的人源化抗体。
由于抗原的接触残基,CDR的移植可由于与抗原接触的构架残基而导致产生 的抗体或其抗原结合片段对抗原的亲和力减弱。此类相互作用可以可能是体细胞高度突变的结果。因此,可能仍然需要将此类供体构架氨基酸移植至人源化抗体的构架。来自非人抗体或其抗原结合片段的参与抗原结合的氨基酸残基可通过检查动物单克隆抗体可变区序列和结构来鉴定。CDR供体构架中与种系不同的各残基可被认为是相关的。如果不能确定最接近的种系,那么可将序列与亚类共有序列或具有高相似性百分数的动物抗体序列的共有序列相比较。稀有构架残基被认为可能是体细胞高度突变的结果,从而在结合中起着重要作用。
在本公开一个的实施方案中,所述的抗体或其抗原结合片段,可进一步包含人源或鼠源κ、λ链或其变体的轻链恒定区,或进一步包含人源或鼠源IgG1、IgG2、IgG3、IgG4或其变体的重链恒定区;优选包含人源IgG1、IgG2或IgG4重链恒定区,或者使用氨基酸突变(例如L234A和/或L235A突变、和/或S228P突变)的IgG1、IgG2或IgG4变体。
本公开中所述人抗体的重链恒定区和人抗体的轻链恒定区的“常规变体”是指现有技术已公开的来源于人的不改变抗体可变区结构和功能的重链恒定区或轻链恒定区的变体,示例性变体包括对重链恒定区进行定点改造和氨基酸替换的IgG1、IgG2、IgG3或IgG4重链恒定区变体,具体替换如现有技术已知的YTE突变,L234A和/或L235A突变,S228P突变,和/或获得knob-into-hole结构的突变(使得抗体重链具有knob-Fc和hole-Fc组合),这些突变已被证实使得抗体具有新的性能,但不改变抗体可变区的功能。
“人抗体”(HuMAb)、“人源抗体”、“全人抗体”、“完全人抗体”可以互换使用,可以是源于人的抗体或者是从一种转基因生物体中获得的抗体,该转基因生物体经“改造”以响应于抗原刺激而产生特异性人抗体并且可以通过本领域已知的任何方法产生。在某些技术中,将人重链和轻链基因座的元件引入到源于胚胎干细胞系的生物体的细胞株中,这些细胞系中的内源性重链和轻链基因座被靶向破坏这些细胞系中包含靶向的内源性重链和轻链基因座破坏。转基因生物可以合成对人抗原特异的人抗体,并且该生物可以用于产生人抗体-分泌杂交瘤。人抗体还可以是一种抗体,其中重链和轻链是由源于一个或更多个人DNA来源的核苷酸序列编码的。完全人抗体还可以通过基因或染色体转染方法以及噬菌体展示技术来构建,或者由体外活化的B细胞构建,所有的这些都是本领域已知的。
术语“全长抗体”、“完整抗体”、“完全抗体”和“全抗体”在本文中可互换使用,指基本上完整形式的抗体,与下文定义的抗原结合片段相区分。该术语特别指轻链和重链包含恒定区的抗体。本公开“抗体”包含“全长抗体”及其抗原结合片段。
在一些实施方案中,本公开的全长抗体包括轻链可变区与轻链恒定区连接的轻链和重链可变区与重链恒定区连接的重链所形成的全长抗体。本领域技术人员可以根据实际需要选择不同的抗体来源的轻链恒定区、重链恒定区,例如人抗体来源的轻链恒定区和重链恒定区。

将细胞表达上清样品高速离心去除杂质。用PBS缓冲液(pH 7.4)平衡镍柱,冲洗2-5倍柱体积,将上清样品以一定流速上Ni Sepharose excel柱。用PBS缓冲液冲洗柱子,至A 280读数降至基线,再用PBS+10mM咪唑冲洗层析柱,除去非特异结合的杂蛋白,并收集流出液,最后用含有300mM咪唑的PBS溶液洗脱目的蛋白,并收集洗脱峰。收集的洗脱液浓缩后用脱盐柱将样品缓冲液换成PBS溶液,以备后续实验使用。
2、含Fc的蛋白、嵌合抗体及杂交瘤抗体的纯化

CRL-8287 TM)进行融合得到杂交瘤细胞。融合好的杂交瘤细胞以0.5-1×10 6个/ml的密度用MC半固体完全培养基(含20%FBS、1×HAT、1×OPI和2%甲基纤维素的RPMI-1640培养基)重悬,分装于35mm细胞培养皿中,37℃,5%CO 2孵育7-9天。融合后第7-9天,根据细胞克隆大小,挑取单细胞克隆至加有200μl/孔的HT完全培养基(含20%FBS、1×HT和1×OPI的RPMI-1640培养基)的96孔细胞培养板中,37℃,5%CO 2培养3天进行检测。
2、杂交瘤细胞筛选
抗体的初步筛选用基于细胞表面抗原的酶联免疫吸附分析法(ELISA)进行。将细胞铺在Elisa板(Corning,Cat#3599)中,37℃培养箱中培养过夜,待细胞完全贴壁,快要长满整个孔时,去上清液,用PBS清洗一次,加入细胞固定液 (Beyotime,Cat#P0098),室温放置45min,去固定液,洗板机洗板3次,加入5%脱脂奶粉,37℃封闭3h以上。去封闭液,洗板机洗板3次。封闭好的细胞板可以置于-20℃保存或直接使用。使用时加入梯度稀释的杂交瘤细胞培养上清液,37℃孵育1h,洗板机洗3遍,加入100μl 10000倍稀释的羊抗鼠IgG H&L(HRP)二抗(Abcam,Cat#ab205719),37℃孵育1h,洗板机洗3遍,加入100μl TMB(KPL,Cat#5120-0077)置于37℃显色10min,加入100μl 1M硫酸终止反应,用酶标仪读取450nm的吸光值。测试抗体与细胞表面的CEA结合而不会被可溶性CEA(sCEA)竞争掉时,将抗体与sCEA孵育30min后再加入细胞板中。
将筛选出的阳性克隆进行扩增冻存保种和二到三次亚克隆直至获得单细胞克隆。选择出的杂交瘤克隆用无血清细胞培养法进一步制备和纯化抗体。得到的杂交瘤抗体用流式细胞仪检测抗体与细胞表面CEA蛋白的结合情况(方法见本公开测试例1),挑选出结合活性好的杂交瘤细胞株。其中,单克隆杂交瘤细胞株mAb47,mAb63、mAb67和mAb103的结合活性检测结果见表1。

测试例
测试例1:FACS结合实验
为了检测抗体与细胞表面CEA蛋白的结合情况,用在细胞表面表达CEA的细胞通过FACS检测抗体的结合活性。收集细胞,400g,4℃离心5min;加入含有终浓度10%FBS的预冷的PBS,400g,4℃离心5min,重复两次;将细胞分配至96孔板,10 5个细胞/孔;每孔加入100μl梯度稀释的抗体溶液,4℃孵育60min,离心去上清;每孔加入含有终浓度10%FBS的预冷的PBS 250μl重悬细胞,400g,4℃离心5min,去上清液,重复两次;加入50μl 1:200稀释的二抗Alexa Fluor@488羊抗人IgG(H+L)(Lifetechologies,Cat#A11013),4℃避光孵育45min,离心去上清液;每孔加入含有终浓度10%FBS的预冷的PBS 250μl重悬,400g,4℃离心5min,重复两次;每孔加入100μl预冷的PBS重悬细胞;上流式细胞仪检测(BD,FACSverse);得到荧光信号值,信号越高表示抗体与细胞表面的蛋白结合活性越强。将检测结果用PRISM分析软件做结合曲线图,拟合得到抗体与细胞表面蛋白人CEA(MKN45人胃癌细胞,南京科佰生物科技有限公司,Cat#CBP60488)、cynoCEA-CHO、CEACAM1-CHO结合活性的EC50值。人源化抗体的结合活性如下表17、18所示:

测试例2:与可溶性CEA(sCEA)竞争实验
为了检测抗体在sCEA(如SEQ ID NO:1所示)存在的情况下是否也优先与细胞膜表面的CEA结合,发明人将梯度稀释的抗体与一定浓度的sCEA(5μg/ml)预先孵育30min,然后收集MKN45细胞(人胃癌细胞,南京科佰生物科技有限公司,Cat#CBP60488)将细胞分配至96孔板;每孔分别加入梯度稀释的抗体和抗体与sCEA预孵育的混合溶液,4℃孵育60min,离心去上清;加入含有终浓度10%FBS的预冷的PBS清洗细胞,重复两次;加入50μl 1:200稀释的二抗Alexa  Fluor@488羊抗人IgG(H+L)(Lifetechologies,Cat#A11013),4℃避光孵育45min,离心去上清液;加入终浓度10%FBS的预冷的PBS 250μl清洗细胞;重复两次;每孔加入100μl预冷的PBS重悬细胞;上流式细胞仪(FACS)检测(BD,FACSverse),得到荧光信号值。如果不加sCEA与加sCEA的信号在各个抗体浓度下的比值都小于2,说明抗体在sCEA的存在下结合曲线也没有出现很大的改变,抗体依然优先与细胞膜表面的CEA结合。
实验结果见表19和表20,其中在不加sCEA与加sCEA的情况下,Hu63-13、Hu47-14、Hu67-14、Hu103-32和阳性对照Lmab在抗体不同浓度时的荧光信号比值见下表19所示,不加sCEA与加sCEA的情况下,其它实验抗体的荧光信号最大比值见下表20所示:

实验结果表明,不加sCEA与加sCEA的情况下,本公开中筛选到的人源化抗体Hu63-13、Hu47-14、Hu67-14、Hu103-32在各种抗体浓度下的荧光信号比值都小于2,例如Hu63-13最大比值为1.59,而阳性对照Lmab的最大比值达5.18,本公开中筛选到的抗体优于对照抗体。本公开中筛选到的人源化抗体不加sCEA与加sCEA的情况下荧光信号最大比值均小于2,且小于阳性对照抗体,表明本公开中筛选到的人源化抗体在sCEA的存在下依然优先与细胞膜表面的CEA结合,且优于阳性对照抗体。
测试例3:Biacore测定抗体与可溶性CEA的亲和力
用Biacore(GE,T200)仪器测定待测人源化抗体和人、猴可溶性CEA的亲和力。按照人抗捕获试剂盒(GE,Cat#BR-1008-39)说明书中的方法将人抗捕获抗体共价偶联于Biacore仪器的生物传感芯片CM5(GE,Cat#BR-1005-30)上,从而亲和捕获一定量的待测抗体,然后于芯片表面流经一系列浓度梯度的可溶性CEA抗原(如SEQ ID NO:1所示),利用Biacore实时检测反应信号从而获得结合和解离曲线。在每个循环解离完成后,用人抗捕获试剂盒里配置的再生溶液将生物芯片洗净再生。实验得到的数据用BIAevaluation version 4.1软件以(1:1)Langmuir模型进行拟合,得出亲和力数值。由于本公开希望筛选到的抗体与细胞膜表面的CEA结合活性强于可溶性CEA,因此抗体与可溶性CEA的亲和力越低越好。人源化抗体与可溶性CEA的亲和力测试结果如下表21所示:
表21.人源化抗体与人可溶性CEA的亲和力
Figure PCTCN2020097984-appb-000066
测试的结果表明,人源化抗体Hu63-13、Hu47-14和Hu67-14与可溶性CEA蛋白的亲和力都比较低,明显低于对照抗体Sanofi和Lmab。这预示了Hu63-13、Hu47-14和Hu67-14在体内不容易被血液中的可溶性CEA中和掉,可以有大量抗体与细胞膜表面表达CEA的细胞结合。
测试例4:抗CEA抗体在CEA高表达细胞MKN45中的内吞活性
本公开中的抗CEA抗体偶联物被细胞内吞后能将毒素释放对细胞起到杀伤作 用,因此CEA抗体在CEA表达的细胞中的内吞活性能促进ADC发挥活性。为了评估人源化抗体在MKN45细胞(人胃癌细胞,南京科佰生物科技有限公司,Cat#CBP60488)中的内吞活性,将MKN45铺在96孔板(Coring,Cat#3795)中过夜培养,次日分别将人源化的CEA抗体Hu63-13、Hu47-14、Hu67-14和Hu103-3与iFL Green Human IgG Labeling Reagent(Invitrogen,Cat#Z25611)预孵育15min,iFL试剂会与人源化抗体的Fc结合,之后将抗体和iFL复合物加入细胞培养板中,分别在6小时和24小时后将细胞培养液去除,加入PBS清洗两遍,消化收集细胞,用FACS检测细胞中的荧光信号强度,抗体被细胞内吞后会将结合在抗体Fc上的iFL带入细胞,iFL被吞入细胞内部在酸性环境下才能检测到荧光信号,因此检测到的信号越强代表抗体的内吞活性越高。各人源化抗体的内吞活性如图1所示:所有人源化抗体都能被MKN45内吞,随着时间的延长,内吞的抗体越多。
测试例5:体内药代动力学测试
