人源化抗IL17A抗体及其应用 技术领域
本发明属于免疫治疗领域,涉及一种人源化抗IL17A单克隆抗体药物及其应用。
背景技术
IL17A通常也称作IL-17,是由155个氨基酸构成的分子量为35kD的炎性细胞因子。它主要由辅助性T细胞17分泌,除此之外,CD4 +、CD8 +T、γδ-T细胞也可分泌IL-17。IL-17家族包含IL17A、IL-17B、IL-17C、IL-17D(IL-27)、IL-17E(IL-25)及IL-17F六个成员(Gu,Wu et al.2013),其中IL17A与IL-17F是最主要的组分,氨基酸同源性为55%,可以形成以二硫键相连的同源二聚体或异源二聚体形式(Dubin and Kolls 2009)。IL17A/A或IL-17A/F二聚体与IL-17的受体家族中多种表达IL-17RA的细胞如:巨噬细胞、树突细胞、造血细胞、成骨细胞、纤维细胞等结合后,可以激活受体细胞内的NFκB、C/EBPs、MAPK等信号,诱导这些细胞分泌炎症因子和趋化因子(IL-6、IL-8、CXCL1等),招募中性粒细胞,介导炎症反应的发生(Mitra,Raychaudhuri et al.2014)。许多炎症相关的自身免疫疾病如银屑病、银屑病关节炎、类风湿性关节炎、强直性脊柱炎等的发生发展与IL-17通路密切相关(Wang,Suzuki et al.2017),在病人的血清中IL-17的表达水平显著上调(Marinoni,Ceribelli et al.2014),导致持续性的炎症反应。此外,IL-17也可直接作用于皮肤中的内皮细胞、上皮细胞、成纤维细胞和角质细胞,增加多种炎性因子的释放,形成病态的皮肤(Mitra,Raychaudhuri et al.2014,Brembilla,Senra et al.2018)。因此,阻断IL-17通路为抑制自身免疫疾病的疾病进程提供可行性。

定义
除非另有说明,本文使用的所有技术和科学术语具有本发明所属的技术领域的普通技术人员通常理解的含义。为了本发明的目的,定义以下术语,以同本技术领域通常理解的含义保持一致。
当用于本文和所附权利要求书中时,单数形式“一”、“一种”、“另一”和“所述”包括复数指代对象,除非上下文明确地另有指示。
术语“抗体”意指免疫球蛋白分子,是指表现所需生物学活性的抗体的任何形式。包括但不限于单克隆抗体(包括全长单克隆抗体)、多克隆抗体和多特异性抗体(例如双特异性抗体),甚至包括抗体片段。典型地,全长抗体结构优选包含4条多肽链,通常通过二硫键相互连接的2条重(H)链和2条轻(L)链。每条重链包含重链可变区和重链恒定区。每条轻链包含轻链可变区和轻链恒定区。在此典型全长抗体结构外,其结构还包括其他衍生形式。
所述重链可变区和轻链可变区可进一步细分为更保守的区域(称为框架区(FR))和穿插其中的高变区(称为互补决定区(CDR))。
术语“互补决定区”(CDR,例如CDR1、CDR2和CDR3)是指抗体可变区的这样一些氨基酸残基,其存在对于抗原结合来说是必需的。每个可变区通常具有3个被鉴别为CDR1、CDR2和CDR3的CDR区域。每个互补决定区可包含来自如Kabat所定义的“互补决定区”的氨基酸残基(Kabat等,Sequences of Proteins of Immulological Interest,5th Ed.Public Health Service,National Institutes of Health,Bethesda,MD.1991))和/或来自“高变环”的那些残基(Chothia和Lesk;J Mol Biol 196:901-917(1987))。
术语“构架”或“FR”残基是如本文中所定义的CDR残基之外的那些可变区残基。
每个重链可变区和轻链可变区通常包含3个CDR和最多达4个FR,所述CDR和FR从氨基末端至羧基末端以例如以下顺序排列:FR1、CDR1、FR2、CDR2、FR3、CDR3、FR4。
给定抗体的互补性决定区(CDR)和框架区(FR)可以使用Kabat体系标识(Kabat等:Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest,第5版,美国卫生和公众服务部,PHS,NIH,NIH出版编号91-3242,1991)。
术语“恒定区”是指抗体的轻链和重链上的这样一些氨基酸序列,不直接参与抗体与抗原的结合,但展现出多种效应子功能,例如抗体依赖性细胞毒性。
根据其恒定区的氨基酸序列的抗原性差异,抗体的重链可以被分为α、δ、ε、γ和μ五类,当其与轻链组成完整的抗体,可被分为五类:IgA、IgD、IgE、IgG和IgM,这些类中的若干还可进一步分为亚类(同种型),例如IgG1、IgG2、IgG3、IgG4、IgA和IgA2。基于其恒定结构域的氨基酸序列,抗体的轻链可归入κ和λ。
“抗体的抗原结合片段”包含完整抗体分子的一部分,其保留母体抗体的至少某些结合特异性,通常包括至少部分母体抗体的抗原结合区或可变区(例如一个或多个CDR)。抗原结合片段的实例包括但不限于Fv、Fab、Fab′、Fab′-SH、F(ab′)2、Fd片段、Fd'片段、单链抗体分子(例如scFv、di-scFv或tri-scFv、双体抗体或scFab)、单域抗体。
术语“抗体片段”是指保留母体抗体的至少某些生物学特性的非完整抗体分子,其实例除上述“抗原结合片段”所述及的那些之外,还包括但不限于Fc片段。
术语“抗体-药物缀合物”或“ADC”是指与一种或多种化学药物(在本文中也称为药剂)化学连接的结合蛋白如抗体或其抗原结合片段),其可以任选地是治疗剂或细胞毒性剂。在优选的实施方案中,ADC包括抗体、细胞毒性或治疗药物,以及能够使药物与抗体连接或缀合的接头。ADC通常具有与抗体缀合的1至8个中任一值的药物,包括2、4、6或8的载药物质。可以包含在ADC中的药物的非限制性实例是有丝分裂抑制剂、抗肿瘤抗生素、免疫调节剂、用于基因治疗载体、烷化剂、抗IL17A剂、抗代谢药、含硼药剂、化疗保护剂、激素、抗激素剂、皮质类固醇、光活性治疗剂、寡核苷酸、放射性核素剂、拓扑异构酶抑制剂、酪氨酸激酶抑制剂和放射致敏剂。
术语“嵌合抗体”是指重链和/或轻链的一部分来源于特定来源或物种,而其余部分来源于不同来源或物种的抗体。“嵌合抗体”亦可以为如上定义的功能性的片段。“人源化抗体”是“嵌合抗体”的子集。
术语“人源化抗体”或“人源化抗原结合片段”在本文中被定义为这样的抗体或抗体片段:(i)来源于非人来源(例如,携带异源免疫系统的转基因小鼠)且基于人种系序列;或(ii)可变区是非人来源而恒定区是人来源 的嵌合抗体;或者(iii)CDR移植的,其中可变区的CDR来自非人来源,而可变区的一个或多个构架区为人来源的,并且恒定区(如果有的话)是人来源的。“人源化”的目的是消除非人来源抗体在人体内的免疫原性,而同时最大可能地保留亲和力。选择与非人来源抗体构架序列最相似的人构架序列为模板进行人源化改造是有利的。在某些情况下,可能需要用非人构架中相应的残基替换人类构架序列中的一个或多个氨基酸,以避免亲和性的丧失。
“单克隆抗体”是指获自基本上同质的抗体群体的抗体,即,所述包含单一抗体的群体除了可能以极少量存在的可能突变(例如天然突变)之外是相同的。因此,所述术语“单克隆”表明所述抗体的性质,即不是不相关抗体的混合物。与通常包括针对不同决定簇(表位)的不同抗体的多克隆抗体制剂相反,单克隆抗体制剂的每个单克隆抗体均针对抗原上的单独一个决定簇。除了其特异性之外,单克隆抗体制剂的优点在于它们通常不会被其他抗体污染。所述术语“单克隆”不应被理解为需要通过任何特定的方法产生所述抗体。
抗体“特异性结合”目的抗原例如肿瘤相关的多肽抗原靶(本文中,PD-1),即以足够的亲和力结合所述抗原以使得所述抗体可用作治疗性试剂,靶向表达所述抗原的细胞或组织,并且与其他蛋白质无显著交叉反应或者与除了上文提到的抗原靶的同源体和变体(例如突变形式、剪接变体,或蛋白水解作用截短的形式)以外的蛋白质无显著交叉反应。
术语“结合亲和力”是指分子的单个结合位点与其结合伴侣之间非共价相互作用总和的强度。除非另有说明,用于本文时“结合亲和力”是指固有的结合亲和力,其反映结合对(例如抗体和抗原)的成员之间1:1的相互作用。如本文所用,术语“KD”是指抗体-抗原相互作用的平衡解离常数。如本文所用,术语“kon”是指抗体与抗原结合的速率常数。如本文所用,术语“koff”是指抗体与抗体/抗原复合物解离的速率常数。“KD”、“结合速率常数k on”和“解离速率常数k off”通常用于描述分子(例如抗体)与其结合伴侣(例如抗原)之间的亲和力,即,受体结合特定蛋白的紧密程度。结合亲和力受非共价分子间相互作用的影响,例如氢键,静电相互作用,两个分子之间的疏水和范德华力。另外,配体与其靶分子之间的结合亲和力可能受到其他分子的存在的影响。亲和力可通过本领域中已知的常规方法来分析,包括本文描述的ELISA。
术语“表位”包括能够特异性结合至抗体或T细胞受体的任何蛋白质决定簇。表位决定簇通常由分子的化学活性表面基团(例如氨基酸或糖侧链,或其组合)组成,并且通常具有特定三维结构特征以及特定的电荷特征。
术语“分离的”抗体是已经被鉴别并且从表达它的细胞的组分中分离的抗体。分离的抗体包括重组细胞内的原位抗体,所述抗体的天然环境中的至少一种组分是不存在的。然而,通常情况下,分离的抗体是通过至少一个纯化步骤进行制备。
两条多肽或核酸序列之间的“序列同一性”表示所述序列之间相同的残基的数目占残基总数的百分比,且基于比较的分子中较小者的大小来计算。在计算同一性百分数时,将正在比较的序列以产生序列之间最大匹配的方式比对,通过特定算法解决比对中的空位(如果存在的话)。确定两个序列之间同一性的优选计算机程序方法包括,但不限于,GCG程序包,包括GAP、BLASTP、BLASTN和FASTA(Altschul等人,1990,J.Mol.Biol.215:403-410)。上述程序可以公开地从国际生物技术信息中心(NCBI)和其他来源得到。熟知的Smith Waterman算法也可用于确定同一性。
术语“Fc受体”或“FcR”指与抗体Fc区结合的受体。优选天然序列的人FcR,且优选与IgG抗体结合的受体(γ受体),其包括FcγRI、FcγRII和FcγRIII亚型,以及这些受体的变体。其它FcR均被包含在术语“FcR”中。该术语也包括新生儿受体(FcRn)其负责将母体的IgG转运至胎儿(Guyer等,免疫学杂志117:587(1976)和Kim等,免疫学杂志24:249(1994))。
术语“新生儿Fc受体”、简称“FcRn”,其结合IgG抗体Fc区。新生儿Fc受体(FcRn)在体内IgG类抗体的代谢命运中起重要作用。FcRn行使功能以从溶酶体降解途径营救IgG,从而降低其在血清中的清除率并加长半衰期。因此,IgG体外FcRn结合性质/特征指示它在血液循环中的体内药代动力学性质。
术语“效应子功能”指可归因于抗体的Fc区的那些生物学活性,其随抗体同种型而不同。抗体效应子功能的实例包括:C1q结合和依赖补体的细胞毒性(CDC)、Fc受体结合、依赖抗体的细胞毒性(ADCC)、依赖抗体的吞噬作用(ADCP)、细胞因子分泌、免疫复合物介导的抗原呈递细胞对抗原的摄取、细胞表面受体(例如B细胞受体)的下调和B细胞激活。
术语“效应细胞”指表达一种或多种FcR并行使效应子功能的白细胞。在一个方面,所述效应细胞至少表达FcγRIII并执行ADCC效应子功能。介导ADCC的人白细胞的实例包括外周血单核细胞(PBMC)、自然杀伤(NK)细胞、单核细胞、细胞毒性T细胞和嗜中性粒细胞。效应细胞可以从天然来源,例如,血液中分离。效应细胞通常是与效应子阶段相关联的淋巴细胞,并发挥作用,以产生细胞因子(辅助T细胞)、杀死被病原体感染的细胞(细胞毒性T细胞)或分泌抗体(分化的B细胞)。
"免疫细胞"包括具有造血的起源并在免疫应答中起作用的细胞。免疫细 胞包括:淋巴细胞,例如B细胞和T细胞;天然杀伤细胞;髓样细胞,例如单核细胞、巨噬细胞、嗜曙红细胞、肥大细胞、嗜碱细胞和粒细胞。
“抗体依赖性细胞介导的细胞毒性”或“ADCC”是指一种细胞毒性形式,其中结合到在某些细胞毒性细胞(例如NK细胞、嗜中性粒细胞和巨噬细胞)上存在的Fcγ受体上的分泌Ig使得这些细胞毒性效应细胞能够特异性结合至承载抗原的靶细胞,随后使用例如细胞毒素杀死所述靶细胞。为了评估目的抗体的ADCC活性,可进行体外ADCC测定法,例如记载于美国专利No.5,500,362或5,821,337或美国专利No.6,737,056(Presta)中的体外ADCC测定法。用于这类测定法的有用效应细胞包括PBMC和NK细胞。
“补体依赖性细胞毒性”或“CDC”是指在补体的存在下靶细胞的裂解。典型的补体途径的活化是通过将补体系统的第一组分(C1q)与结合至其相应抗原的(适当亚类的)抗体结合来起始。为了评估补体活化,可进行CDC测定法,例如记载于Gazzano-Santoro等,J.Immunol Methods 202:163(1996)中的CDC测定法。例如在美国专利No.6,194,551B1和WO1999/51642中描述了具有改变的Fc区氨基酸序列的多肽变体(具有变体Fc区的多肽)和具有增强或降低的C1q结合的多肽变体。
术语“COSENTYX类似物”及“Taltz类似物”分别指按COSENTYX及Taltz的结构制备的抗体。
本发明的抗体的氨基酸序列
本发明首先采用重组人IL17A蛋白来免疫小鼠,然后通过噬菌体展示文库筛选获得与重组人IL17A蛋白特异性结合的抗体克隆IL17A-M069。之后采用PCR方法将编码IL17A-M069scFv抗体的重链和轻链可变区的核苷酸序列分别插入携带鼠IgG1重链恒定区或鼠kappa轻链恒定区核苷酸序列的pSTEP2载体中,并进行培养表达。采用蛋白A纯化柱进行纯化获得高纯度鼠单克隆抗体。ELISA测试表明,该小鼠源抗体能够阻断IL17A诱导的HFF细胞IL-6的分泌。
然后,采用经典的人源化方式CDR移植方法,选择与鼠轻链或重链可变区较接近的人抗体轻链或重链可变区为模板,将鼠抗体轻链或重链的各3个CDR(表1)插入到该人抗体的可变区中,获得人源化的轻链可变区(VL)和重链可变区(VH)序列。由于小鼠源框架区有关键点对于支撑CDR的活性至关重要,因此将关键位点回复突变为小鼠抗体对应的序列。通过全基因合成的方法获得IL17A-H069轻链/重链表达载体,转染CHO-K1-GS缺陷细胞并进行培养表达,分析选取抗体高表达的克隆,培养生产获得高纯度和高质量的IL17A-H069抗体。

细菌载体可以是例如基于噬菌体、质粒或噬粒的。这些载体可含有选择标记和细菌复制起点,其来源于通常含有公知的克隆载体pBR322(ATCC37017)的元件的可商购的质粒。转化合适的宿主菌株并使所述宿主菌株生长至适当细胞密度之后,通过适当的方法(例如,温度变化或化学诱导)将所选择的启动子去阻遏/诱导,并且将细胞培养额外的时间。通常通过离心收获细胞,通过物理或化学方法使细胞破裂,并且保留所得的粗提取物用于进一步纯化。
在细菌系统中,根据所表达的蛋白的目的用途,可有利地选择多种表达载体。例如,当要生产大量这样的蛋白用于生产抗体或用于筛选肽文库时,例如,可能需要指导易于纯化的融合蛋白产物的高水平表达的载体。

实施例6:人源化抗体的小鼠体内药效
6.1 IL17A-H069在hPBMC免疫重建小鼠银屑病(PsO)模型中的体内药效
用来自3个供者的hPBMC,获得免疫系统人源化的B-NDG小鼠(百奥赛图),共60只(每个供者20只)。一周后采集外周血,流式检测人源细胞比例,人源细胞百分比0.04-1.5%之间的小鼠20只,1.5-7%之间的小鼠31只,大于7%的小鼠8只。选取重建比例1.5-7%之间的小鼠,建立IMQ(咪喹莫特)诱导的小鼠银屑病模型,并基于此进行受试药物药效评价。
入组小鼠按照给药进行分组,未建模正常对照组G1小鼠5只,建模未给药即银屑病模型组G2小鼠5只,建模后给予IL17A-H069组即G3组7只,建模后给予阳性对照Taltz组即G4组7只。小鼠剃除其背部毛发,形成约2cm×3cm大小的暴露区域。G2、G3、G4组每天在背部涂抹100mg IMQ乳膏,耳朵涂抹10mg IMQ乳膏,连续10天。每天记录小鼠PASI评分。依据PASI评分标准,如表4所示,给予小鼠皮损处红斑、鳞屑及背部皮肤增厚程度0-4的评分,将三者积分相加得到总分。G3、G4组涂抹IMQ乳膏的第一天即开始给药,给药剂量均为10mpk,每周给药2次。
表4.PASI评分(严重度指数)标准
Figure PCTCN2020104448-appb-000006
结果如图8所示,与正常对照组小鼠相比,银屑病模型组PASI评分显著升高,反映该小鼠模型在一定程度上可以表征银屑病的特征;从第五天开始,与银屑病模型组相比IL17A-H069给药组PASI评分显著下降,并且 相比于对照Taltz,IL17A-H069具有更强的降低小鼠银屑病评分的体内药效,因此IL17A-H069能有效缓解银屑病(PsO)模型小鼠的发病程度,减轻银屑病症状。
实施例7:人源化抗体的体内药代动力学
7.1食蟹猴单次皮下注射IL17A-H069的药代动力学
本实施例采用食蟹猴,进行IL17A-H069抗体单次皮下注射给药,剂量均为1mg/kg。分别于给药前、给药当天药后1h、2h、4h、6h、8h、24h、48h以及给药后3天、4天、7天、10天、14天、17天、21天、24天、28天、31天、35天采集血清,采用已建立的ELISA方法对猴血清中IL17A-H069的药物浓度进行检测,并采用Phoenix-WinNonlin(Pharsight)6.4软件中非房室模型(NCA)计算药代动力学参数。考察单次皮下注射IL17A-H069后药物在体内的动态变化规律。
IL17A-H069药物浓度随时间变化如表6及图9所示,雌性动物和雄性动物C max、AUC last均未见明显性别差异(结果未展示),IL17A-H069的半衰期t 1/2为353.66h,T max值为34h。在体内暴露量方面,IL17A-H069的AUC last为3846.86h*μg/mL。
在1mg/kg的给药剂量下,IL17A-H069的T max较短、t 1/2较长,因此IL17A-H06展现出优越的药代动力学,包括皮下注射吸收快、半衰期长、药物暴露量较好等特点,为更长的给药周期奠定了基础。
