Description

特异性结合VEGF和ANG-2的双特异性抗原结合分子 技术领域
本披露属于生物制药领域,具体地,本披露涉及抗ANG-2抗体以及抗ANG-2和抗VEGF的双特异性抗原结合分子的制备和应用。
背景技术
这里的陈述仅提供与本披露有关的背景信息,而不必然地构成现有技术。
新血管的生成为肿瘤细胞提供氧气和养料,使得肿瘤细胞获得生长优势,从无血管的慢速生长期到有血管的快速增长期。因此,通过抑制血管生成来抑制肿瘤的生长是一个较有潜力的有效策略。在众多促进血管生成的相关因子中,血管内皮生长因子VEGF是非常关键和重要的促进血管生成的因子。VEGF可以通过与VEGF受体结合促进细胞的增殖、迁移、增加血管通透性等促进肿瘤细胞的新生血管生成。因此通过阻断VEGF可抑制肿瘤血管的生成,进而达到抑制肿瘤生长和转移的目的。临床上有很多通过不同策略阻断VEGF的生物制剂,诸如针对VEGF的单抗阿瓦斯汀(Avastin),中和VEGF的可溶性VEGF受体,针对VEGF受体的单抗等都显示出较好的活性。
但肿瘤血管的生成是由众多分子、多信号通路参与的复杂过程,通过阻断一条通路仍不能达到完全抑制肿瘤的目的,需要同时阻断其他血管生成相关因子。
Tie2是第二个被鉴定出的血管内皮细胞特异的酪氨酸激酶受体,其与配体血管生成素-1(ANG1)和血管生成素-2(ANG2)的结合对于血管生成也起着重要作用。ANG1与ANG2都结合Tie2,其中ANG1支持内皮细胞(EC)存活并促进血管的完整性和稳定性,而ANG2具有相反效应,可以使周边细胞从内皮细胞脱落下来,导致内皮细胞通透性提高,使VEGF发挥促进新生血管形成的作用。ANG2和VEGF在肿瘤的血管形成过程中互补协调,共同作用。因此,同时阻断VEGF和ANG2可以更有效抑制血管的生成,促进血管的正常化,达到抑制肿瘤生长和转移的目的。
目前,专利申请WO1998045332、WO2007095338A2、WO201004058、CN102250247A、WO2011117329等中公开了抗ANG-2和VEGF的双特异性抗体或VEGF抗体,但仍有待于开发新的高效的抗ANG-2和VEGF的双特异性抗体。

具体实施方式
术语
为了更容易理解本披露,以下具体定义了某些技术和科学术语。除非在本文中另有明确定义,本文使用的所有其它技术和科学术语都具有本披露所属领域的 一般技术人员通常理解的含义。
本披露所用氨基酸三字母代码和单字母代码如J.biol.chem,243,p3558(1968)中所述。
术语“氨基酸”是指天然存在的和合成的氨基酸,以及以与天然存在的氨基酸类似的方式起作用的氨基酸类似物和氨基酸模拟物。天然存在的氨基酸是由遗传密码编码的那些氨基酸,以及后来修饰的那些氨基酸,例如羟脯氨酸、γ-羧基谷氨酸和O-邻磷酸丝氨酸。氨基酸类似物是指与天然存在的氨基酸具有相同基本化学结构(即与氢结合的α碳、羧基、氨基和R基团,例如高丝氨酸、正亮氨酸、甲硫氨酸亚砜、甲硫氨酸甲基锍)的化合物。此类类似物具有修饰的R基团(例如,正亮氨酸)或修饰的肽骨架,但保留与天然存在的氨基酸相同的基本化学结构。氨基酸模拟物是指具有如下结构的化合物,该结构与氨基酸的一般化学结构不同但是以与天然存在的氨基酸类似的方式起作用。
术语“ANG-2”指血管生成素-2(ANGPT2或ANG2),其记载于例如Maisonpierre,P.C.等,Science 277(1997)55-60和Cheung,A.H.等,Genomics 48(1998)389-91。发现血管生成素-1和-2为Tie(即,一种在血管内皮内选择性表达的酪氨酸激酶家族)的配体,Yancopoulos,G.D.等,Nature 407(2000)242-48。血管生成素家族有四种确定的成员,血管生成素-3和-4(ANG-3和ANG-4)可以代表小鼠和人中相同基因基因座的广泛区域的对应物。Kim,I.等,FEBS Let,443(1999)353-56;Kim,I.等,J Biol Chem 274(1999)26523-28。ANG1和ANG2最初是在组织培养实验中分别作为激动剂和拮抗剂鉴定的(对于ANG1,参见,Davis,S.等,Cell 87(1996)1161-69;对于ANG2,参见Maisonpierre,P.C.等,Science 277(1997)55-60)。所有已知的血管生成素主要结合Tie2,而ANG1和2两者都以3nM(Kd)的亲和力结合Tie2,Maisonpierre,P.C.等,Science 277(1997)55-60。
术语“VEGF”指人血管内皮生长因子(VEGF/VEGF-A),其记载于例如Leung,D.W.等,Science 246(1989)1306-9;Keck,P.J.等,Science 246(1989)1309-12和Connolly,D.T.等,J.Biol.Chem.264(1989)20017-24。VEGF参与调节正常的和异常的血管发生和与肿瘤和眼内病症有关的新血管化(Ferrara,N.,Endocr.Rev.18(1997)4-25;Berkman,R.A.,J.Clin.Invest.91(1993)153-159;Brown,L.F.等,HumanPathol.26(1995)86-91;Brown,L.F.等,Cancer Res.53(1993)4727-4735;Mattern,J.等,Brit.J.Cancer.73(1996)931-934;及Dvorak,H.F.等,Am.J.Pathol.146(1995)1029-1039)。VEGF是一种同二聚体糖蛋白,VEGF可促进对内皮细胞的促有丝分裂。
本披露所述的“抗原结合分子”在本文中以最广意义指特异性结合抗原的分子,抗原结合分子的例子是抗体、抗体片段、抗体融合蛋白或融合蛋白。示例性的,本文中的双特异性抗原结合分子包含双特异性抗体和抗体融合蛋白。示例性的,本文的双特异性抗体或抗体融合蛋白可以包含第一条链与第二条链,该第一 条链是抗体的重链或包含抗体重链的多肽,第二条链是抗体的轻链或包含抗体轻链的多肽。示例性的,在一些实施方案中,本文的双特异性抗原结合分子具有全长抗体的基本结构,是由两条相同的第一条链和两条相同的第二条链通过链间二硫键连接而成的四肽链结构;其中,第一条链包含抗VEGF抗体重链和抗ANG-2的单链抗体,第二条链包含抗VEGF抗体的轻链。
如本披露所述的“双特异性抗原结合分子”是指能同时结合两个抗原或抗原决定簇的抗原结合分子,其包含结合第一抗原或抗原决定簇的第一抗原结合域和结合第二抗原或抗原决定簇的第二抗原结合域。在本披露的一些实施方案中,第一抗原结合域特异性结合ANG-2,第二抗原结合域特异性结合VEGF;或者,在在本披露的一些实施方案中,第一抗原结合域特异性结合VEGF,第二抗原结合域特异性结合ANG-2。
在一些实施方案中,本披露所述的双特异性抗原结合分子为双特异性二价抗体或双特异性四价抗体。
在本领域中公知,根据不同结构可将双特异性抗原结合分子分为2大类:含Fc片段的双特异性抗原结合分子与不含Fc片段的双特异性抗原结合分子。含Fc片段的双特异性抗原结合分子结构包括但不限于TrioMab、Crossmab/KIH、DVD-Ig、IgG-scFv、FIT-Ig、mAb-Trap等。不含Fc片段的双特异性抗原结合分子结构包括但不限于BiTE、DART、TandAb、ImmTAC、TriKE等。
如本披露所述的“Crossmab”是存在Fc区域的IgG样双特异性抗原结合分子结构,其通过在第一抗原结合域的Fab区内交换重链和轻链结构,从而导致VH-VL和CH1-CL之间界面的分子结构发生变化。经过交换的抗体轻链由于相互排斥的原理,即VH与VH相互排斥、CL与CL相互排斥,不易与未改造抗体的重链发生错配,从而产生轻重链的正确配对。
在另一些实施方案中,本披露的双特异性抗原结合分子是Crossmab形式,由第一重链,第一轻链,第二重链和第二轻链组成的四肽结构,其中,第一重链和第一轻链组成结合ANG-2的第一抗原结合域,第二重链和第二轻链组成结合VEGF的第二抗原结合域,并且第一重链的CH1与第一轻链的CL互相交换。
如本披露所述的“IgG-scFv”是存在Fc区域的IgG样双特异性抗原结合分子结构,其中一个抗原结合域的scFv融合到另一个抗原结合域IgG重链或轻链的C端,以构成IgG-scFv双特异性抗原结合分子。
在另一些实施方案中,本披露的双特异性抗原结合分子是IgG-scFv形式。在示例性的实施方案中,特异性结合ANG-2的scFv直接地或通过连接子与特异性结合VEGF的抗体重链C端连接,构成IgG-scFv形式双特异性抗原结合分子。
术语“价”指抗原结合分子中存在规定数目的结合位点。因此,术语“二价”、“四价”和“六价”分别指抗原结合分子中存在两个结合位点、四个结合位点和六个结合位点。
本披露所述的“能够特异性结合ANG-2的第一抗原结合域”或“能够特异性结合VEGF的第二抗原结合域”指抗原结合分子中包含与ANG-2或VEGF的全部或部分特异性结合的区域。例如,所述抗原结合域可以包含一个或多个抗体可变区。特别的,能够特异性结合抗原的抗原结合域包含抗体轻链可变区和抗体重链可变区,其可以形成scFv、Fab等构型。
术语“抗体融合蛋白”是指将目的蛋白质(多肽)与抗体连接形成的具有生物活性的融合蛋白,所述的融合蛋白具有所连接的蛋白质的生物学活性以及免疫球蛋白活性。
术语“抗体”以最广义使用,并且涵盖各种抗体结构,包括但不限于单克隆抗体,多克隆抗体,多特异性抗体(例如双特异性抗体),和抗体片段,只要它们展现出期望的抗原结合活性。
“天然抗体”指具有不同结构的天然存在的免疫球蛋白分子。例如,天然IgG抗体是约150,000道尔顿的异四聚糖蛋白,由二硫化物键合的两条相同轻链和两条相同重链构成。从N至C端,每条重链具有一个可变区(VH),又称作可变重域或重链可变域,接着是三个恒定域(CH1,CH2,和CH3)。类似地,从N至C端,每条轻链具有一个可变区(VL),又称作可变轻域,或轻链可变域,接着是一个恒定轻(CL)域。根据其恒定域氨基酸序列,抗体轻链包括两种类型,卡帕(κ)和拉姆达(λ)。根据抗体重链恒定区的氨基酸组成和排列顺序不同,可将抗体分为五类,或称为抗体同种型,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。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;靠近C端的其余氨基酸序列相对稳定,为恒定区。每条重链由重链可变区(本文中缩写为VH)和重链恒定区组成。重链恒定区由三个结构域(CH1、CH2和CH3)组成。每条轻链由轻链可变区(本文中缩写为VL)和轻链恒定区组成。轻链恒定区包含一个结构域,CL。VH和VL区可进一步细分为高变区,称为互补性决定区(CDR),其间穿插有称为框架区(FR)的较保守区。每条轻链的包含3个CDR区:LCDR1、LCDR2、和LCDR3;每条重链的包含3个CDR区:HCDR1、HCDR2和HCDR3。每个VH和VL由从氨基末端排到羧基末端按以下顺序排列的三个CDR和四个FR构成:FR1、CDR1、FR2、CDR2、FR3、CDR3、FR4。重链和轻链的可变区含有与抗原相互作用的结合结构域。抗体的恒定区可以介导免疫球蛋白与宿主组织或因子(包括免疫系统的各种细胞(例如,效应细胞)和经典补体系统的第一组分(Clq))的结合。
术语“互补决定区”、“CDR”或“高变区”是指可变结构域内主要促成抗原结合的区域。通常,每个重链可变区中存在三个CDR(HCDR1、HCDR2、HCDR3), 每个轻链可变区中存在三个CDR(LCDR1、LCDR2、LCDR3)。可以各种公知方案来确定CDR的氨基酸序列边界,例如:“Kabat”编号规则(参见Kabat等(1991),“Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest”,第5版,Public Health Service,National Institutes of Health,Bethesda,MD)、“Chothia”编号规则(参见Martin,ACR.Protein Sequence and Structure Analysis of Antibody Variable Domains[J].2001)和ImMunoGenTics(IMGT)编号规则(Lefranc,M.P.等,Dev.Comp.Immunol.,27,55-77(2003);Front Immunol.2018 Oct 16;9:2278等)。包括例如Kabat编号和IMGT独特编号系统在内的编号系统之间的关系是本领域技术人员熟知的。
例如,对于经典格式,遵循Kabat规则,所述重链可变域(VH)中的CDR氨基酸残基编号为31-35(HCDR1)、50-65(HCDR2)和95-102(HCDR3);轻链可变域(VL)中的CDR氨基酸残基编号为24-34(LCDR1)、50-56(LCDR2)和89-97(LCDR3)。
遵循Chothia规则,VH中的CDR氨基酸编号为26-32(HCDR1)、52-56(HCDR2)和95-102(HCDR3);并且VL中的氨基酸残基编号为24-34(LCDR1)、50-56(LCDR2)和89-97(LCDR3)。
通过组合Kabat和Chothia两者的CDR定义,CDR由人VH中的氨基酸残基26-35(HCDR1)、50-65(HCDR2)和95-102(HCDR3)和人VL中的氨基酸残基24-34(LCDR1)、50-56(LCDR2)和89-97(LCDR3)构成。
遵循IMGT规则,VH中的CDR氨基酸残基编号大致为27-38(CDR1)、56-65(CDR2)和105-117(CDR3),VL中的CDR氨基酸残基编号大致为27-38(CDR1)、56-65(CDR2)和105-117(CDR3)。遵循IMGT规则,抗体的CDR区可以使用程序IMGT/DomainGap Align确定。
遵循AbM规则,VH中的CDR氨基酸编号为26-35(HCDR1)、50-58(HCDR2)和95-102(HCDR3);并且VL中的氨基酸残基编号为24-34(LCDR1)、50-56(LCDR2)和89-97(LCDR3)。
除非另有说明,本披露实施例中的可变区和CDR序列均适用“Kabat”编号规则。
术语“抗体框架”或“FR区”,是指可变结构域VL或VH的一部分,其用作该可变结构域的抗原结合环(CDR)的支架。从本质上讲,其是不具有CDR的可变结构域。
“抗体恒定区结构域”指来源于抗体的轻链和重链的恒定区的结构域,包括CL和来源于不同类抗体的CH1、CH2、CH3和CH4结构域。本披露的恒定区还包括所述人抗体重链恒定区和人抗体轻链恒定区的“常规变体”,其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。
“抗体片段”指不同于完整抗体的分子,其包含完整抗体的部分,所述部分与完整抗体所结合的抗原相结合。抗体片段的实例包括但不限于Fv、Fab、Fab’、Fab’-SH、F(ab′)2、Fd、dAb;驼类VHH结构域;双抗体;线性抗体;单链抗体分子(例如scFv);以及由抗体片段形成的多特异性抗体。
“单链可变片段(scFv)”,也称“单链抗体”,是通过接头连接的抗体的重链可变区(VH)和轻链可变区(VL)的融合蛋白。特别地,接头是10至25个氨基酸的短多肽且通常富含有关柔性的甘氨酸,以及有关溶解性的丝氨酸或苏氨酸,并且可将VH的N端与VL的C端连接,或反之亦然。尽管去除了恒定区并引入了接头,但这种蛋白质保留了原始抗体的特异性。关于scFv片段的综述,见例如Pluckthün,于ThePharmacology of Monoclonal Antibodies,第113卷,Rosenburg和Moore编,(Springer-Verlag,New York),第269-315页(1994);还可见WO 93/16185;和美国专利No.5,571,894和5,587,458。
“接头”或“连接子”指用于连接多肽(如蛋白质结构域)的多肽序列,通常具有一定的柔性,接头的使用不会使多肽原有结构和功能丧失。
术语“Fc区”在本文中用于定义免疫球蛋白重链的C端区域,其含有恒定区的至少部分。该术语包括天然序列Fc区和变体Fc区。Fc区的C末端赖氨酸(Lys447)可以存在或不存在。除非本文另有说明,Fc区或恒定区中的氨基酸残基编号根据EU编号系统,也称为EU索引。
术语“结合位点”或“抗原结合位点”指抗体分子与抗原实际结合的区域。术语“抗原结合位点”包含抗体重链可变域(VH)和抗体轻链可变域(VL),或仅包含抗体重链可变域或轻链可变结构域。
“嵌合”抗体指其中的重链和/或轻链的一部分自特定的来源或物种衍生,而重链和/或轻链的剩余部分自不同来源或物种衍生的抗体。
术语“人源化”抗体是保留非人抗体的反应性同时在人中具有较低免疫原性的抗体。例如,这可以通过保留非人CDR区并用其人对应物(即,恒定区以及可变区的框架部分)替换抗体的其余部分来实现。参见,例如,Morrison等人,Proc.Natl.Acad.Sci.USA[美国国家科学院院刊],81:6851-6855,1984;Morrison和Oi,Adv.Immunol.[免疫学进展],44:65-92,1988;Verhoeyen等人,Science[科学],239:1534-1536,1988;Padlan,Molec.Immun.[分子免疫学],28:489-498,1991;以及Padlan,Molec.Immun.[分子免疫学],31:169-217,1994。人工程化技术的其他实例包括但不限于在US 5,766,886中披露的Xoma技术。
通常,将非人抗体人源化以降低对人的免疫原性,同时保留亲本非人抗体的特异性和亲和力。一般地,人源化抗体包含一个或多个可变域,其中HVR(重链 可变区),例如CDR(或其部分)自非人抗体衍生,而FR(或其部分)自人抗体序列衍生。任选地,人源化抗体还会至少包含人恒定区的一部分。在一些实施方案中,将人源化抗体中的一些FR残基用来自非人抗体(例如衍生HVR残基的抗体)的相应残基替代,例如以恢复或改善抗体特异性或亲和力。
术语“人抗体”旨在包括具有可变区的抗体,其中框架区和CDR区两者均衍生自人来源的序列。此外,如果抗体含有恒定区,则恒定区还衍生自此类人序列,例如人种系序列或突变形式的人种系序列。本披露的人抗体可以包括不是由人序列编码的氨基酸残基(例如,通过在体外随机诱变或位点特异性诱变或通过在体内体细胞突变来引入的突变)。
术语“全长抗体”,“完整抗体”和“全抗体”在本文中可互换使用,指与天然抗体结构具有基本上类似的结构或者具有含有如本文中所限定的Fc区的重链的抗体。
术语“抗原”是指能够由诸如抗原结合蛋白(包括例如抗体)的选择性结合剂结合且另外能够用于动物中以产生能够结合该抗原的抗体的分子或分子部分。抗原可具有一个或多个能够与不同的抗原结合蛋白(例如抗体)相互作用的表位。
术语“表位”指能够与抗体或其抗原结合片段特异性结合的抗原上的区域(area或region)。表位可以自连续氨基酸串(线性表位)形成或包含非连续氨基酸(构象表位),例如因抗原的折叠(即通过蛋白质性质的抗原的三级折叠)而变成空间接近。构象表位和线性表位的差别在于:在变性溶剂的存在下,抗体对构象表位的结合丧失。例如,表位包含处于独特空间构象的至少3,至少4,至少5,至少6,至少7,或8-10个氨基酸。
筛选结合特定表位的抗体(即那些结合相同表位的)可以使用本领域例行方法来进行,例如但不限于丙氨酸扫描,肽印迹(见Meth.Mol.Biol.248(2004)443-463),肽切割分析,表位切除,表位提取,抗原的化学修饰(见Prot.Sci.9(2000)487-496),和交叉阻断(见“Antibodies,”Harlow and Lane(Cold Spring Harbor Press,Cold Spring Harb.,NY))。
还可以使用竞争性结合来鉴定抗体是否与参照抗抗体结合相同表位或竞争结合。例如,与参照抗体“结合相同表位的抗体”指在竞争测定法中将参照抗体对其抗原的结合阻断50%或更多的抗体,且相反,参照抗体在竞争测定法中将该抗体对其抗原的结合阻断50%或更多。还例如,为了测定待测抗体是否与参照抗体结合相同表位,在饱和条件下容许参照抗体结合抗原。在去除过量的参照抗体后,评估待测抗体结合抗原的能力。如果该待测抗体能够在参照抗体的饱和结合之后结合抗原,那么可以得出结论,该待测抗体与参照抗体结合不同表位。但是,如果该待测抗体在参照抗体的饱和结合之后不能够结合抗原,那么该待测抗体可结合与参照抗体结合相同的表位。为了确认待测抗体是否结合相同表位或仅仅受到空间原因阻碍结合,可以使用例行实验(例如,肽突变和使用ELISA、RIA、表面 等离子共振、流式细胞术或本领域可获得的任何其它定量或定性抗体结合测定的结合分析)。这种测定法应当以两种设置中进行,即两种抗体均作为饱和抗体。如果在两种设置中,均只有第一(饱和)抗体能够结合抗原,那么可以得出结论,该待测抗体和参照抗体竞争结合该抗原。
在一些实施方案中,如在竞争性结合测定中所测量的(参见例如,Junghans等人,Cancer Res.50(1990)1495-1502),如果一个抗体的1倍、5倍、10倍、20倍或100倍过量抑制另一个抗体的结合至少50%、至少75%、至少90%或甚至99%或更多,则认为两个抗体结合相同或重叠的表位。
如此处所述,抗体和/或其抗原结合片段之间的“竞争”意味着两种抗体(或其结合片段)结合相同或重叠的表位(例如,如通过竞争性结合测定,通过本领域技术人员所熟知的任一方法所确定的)。如果所述竞争性抗体或其抗原结合片段与本披露的抗体或抗原结合片段结合相同的表位或重叠的表位,则该抗体或其抗原结合片段还与本披露的抗体或抗原结合片段“竞争”。如本文所使用的,竞争性抗体或其抗原结合片段还可包括如下:(i)空间阻断本披露的抗体或抗原结合片段结合其靶标的竞争性抗体或其抗原结合片段(例如,如果所述竞争性抗体结合临近的、非重叠的和/或相同表位并且以物理的方式防止本披露的抗体或抗原结合片段结合其靶标);和/或(ii)结合不同的、非重叠的表位并且诱导抗原发生如下构象变化的竞争性抗体或其抗原结合片段,所述构象变化使得所述抗原不再以无该构象变化时具有的方式结合本披露的抗体或抗原结合片段。
“特异性地结合”、“特异性结合”或“结合”是指抗体以比针对其他抗原或表位更高的亲和力结合至某个抗原或该抗原内的表位。通常,抗体以约1×10-7M或更小(例如约1×10-8M或更小、约1×10-9M或更小、约1×10-10M或更小、约1×10-11M或更小,或者约1×10-12M或更小)的平衡解离常数(KD)结合抗原或抗原内的表位,通常KD为该抗体结合至非特异性抗原(例如BSA、酪蛋白)的KD的至少百分之一。可使用标准程序来测量KD。然而,特异性结合至抗原或抗原内的表位的抗体可能对其它相关的抗原具有交叉反应性,例如,对来自其它物种(同源)(诸如人或猴,例如食蟹猕猴(Macaca fascicularis)(cynomolgus,cyno)、黑猩猩(Pan troglodytes)(chimpanzee,chimp)或狨猴(Callithrix jacchus)(commonmarmoset,marmoset)的相同抗原具有交叉反应性。
“亲和力”指分子(例如抗体)的单一结合位点与其结合配偶体(例如抗原)之间全部非共价相互作用总和的强度。分子X对其配偶体Y的亲和力通常可以用解离常数(KD)来表述。亲和力可以通过本领域知道的常用方法来测量,包括本文中所描述的方法。
术语“kassoc”或“ka”意在是指特定抗体-抗原相互作用的缔合速率,而如本文所使用的术语“kdis”或“kd”意在是指特定抗体-抗原相互作用的解离速率。如本文所使用的,术语“KD”意在是指解离常数,其获得自kd与ka的比率(即 kd/ka)并且表示为摩尔浓度(M)。可以使用本领域良好建立的方法测定抗体的KD值。用于测定抗体KD的方法包括使用生物传感系统例如系统测量表面等离子体共振,或通过溶液平衡滴定法(SET)测量溶液中的亲和力。
术语“核酸”在本文中可与术语“多核苷酸”互换使用,并且是指呈单链或双链形式的脱氧核糖核苷酸或核糖核苷酸及其聚合物。所述术语涵盖含有已知核苷酸类似物或修饰的骨架残基或连接的核酸,所述核酸是合成的、天然存在的和非天然存在的,具有与参考核酸相似的结合特性,并且以类似于参考核苷酸的方式代谢。此类类似物的实例包括但不限于硫代磷酸酯、氨基磷酸酯、甲基膦酸酯、手性-甲基膦酸酯、2-O-甲基核糖核苷酸、肽-核酸(PNA)。
除非另有说明,否则特定的核酸序列还隐含地涵盖其保守修饰的变体(例如,简并密码子取代)和互补序列以及明确指明的序列。具体地,如下详述,简并密码子取代可以通过产生如下序列而获得,在这些序列中,一个或多个所选的(或全部)密码子的第三位被混合碱基和/或脱氧肌苷残基取代(Batzer等人,Nucleic Acid Res[核酸研究].19:5081,1991;Ohtsuka等人,J.Biol.Chem[生物化学杂志].260:2605-2608,1985;和Rossolini等人,Mol.Cell.Probes[分子与细胞探针]8:91-98,1994)。
序列“同一性”指,当对两条序列进行最佳比对时,必要时引入间隙,以获取最大序列同一性百分比,且不将任何保守性取代视为序列同一性的一部分,两条序列的氨基酸/核酸在等价位置相同的程度(百分比)。为测定序列同一性百分比,比对可以通过属于本领域技术的范围内的多种方式来实现,例如使用公开可得到的计算机软件,诸如BLAST、BLAST-2、ALIGN、ALIGN-2或Megalign(DNASTAR)软件。本领域技术人员可确定适用于测量比对的参数,包括在所比较的序列全长上达成最大比对所需的任何算法。
“保守修饰的变体”或“保守性取代”指使用具有相似特征(例如,电荷、侧链尺寸、亲水性/疏水性、骨架构型和刚性等)的其他氨基酸置换蛋白中的氨基酸,使得通常可以做出这样的变化而不改变蛋白的生物活性。本领域技术人员知晓,在通常情况下,在多肽的非必需区域中的单氨基酸置换基本上不改变生物活性(参见例如,Watson等,(1987)Molecular Biology of the Gene,The Benjamin/Cummings Pub.Co.,p.224(4th Ed.))。此外,结构或功能上类似的氨基酸的置换不太可能破坏生物活性。示例性的保守性置换如下表中所示。

术语“保守修饰的变体”当适用核酸序列时,保守修饰的变体是指那些编码相同或基本上相同的氨基酸序列的核酸,或在该核酸不编码氨基酸序列的情况下,是指基本相同的序列。由于遗传密码的简并性,任何给定的蛋白质均可以由多个功能相同的核酸编码。例如,密码子GCA、GCC、GCG和GCU都编码氨基酸丙氨酸。因此,在密码子指定丙氨酸的每个位置,该密码子可以改变为任何所述相应密码子而不改变编码的多肽。此类核酸变异是“沉默变异”,它们是保守修饰变异中的一种。本文中编码多肽的每个核酸序列也描述了核酸的每种可能的沉默变异。技术人员将认识到,核酸中的每个密码子(除了AUG--通常是甲硫氨酸的唯一密码子;和TGG--通常是色氨酸的唯一密码子)均可以被修饰以产生功能相同的分子。因此,在每个所述序列中均隐含了编码多肽的核酸的每一种沉默变异。
术语“载体”意指能够转运与其连接的另一多核苷酸的多核苷酸分子。一种类型的载体是“质粒”,其是指环状双链DNA环,其中可以连接附加的DNA区段。另一种类型的载体是病毒载体,例如腺相关病毒载体(AAV或AAV2),其中另外的DNA区段可以连接到病毒基因组中。某些载体能够在引入它们的宿主细胞中自主复制(例如,具有细菌复制起点的细菌载体和附加型哺乳动物载体)。其他载体(例如,非附加型哺乳动物载体)可以在引入宿主细胞中后整合到宿主细胞的基因组中,从而与宿主基因组一起复制。
术语“表达载体”或“表达构建体”是指适用于对宿主细胞进行转化且含有指导及/或控制(连同宿主细胞一起)与其可操作地连接的一个或多个异源编码区的表达的核酸序列的载体。表达构建体可以包括但不限于影响或控制转录、翻译且在存在内含子时影响与其可操作地连接的编码区的RNA剪接的序列。
如本文中所使用,“可操作地连接”意指该术语所适用的组分呈允许其在适合条件下执行其固有功能的关系。举例而言,载体中与蛋白质编码序列“可操作地 连接”的控制序列是与其连结,从而在与该控制序列的转录活性兼容的条件下达成该蛋白质编码序列的表达。
术语“宿主细胞”,“宿主细胞系”和“宿主细胞培养物”可互换使用,并且指已经导入外源核酸的细胞,包括此类细胞的后代。宿主细胞包括“转化体”和“经转化的细胞”,其包括原代的经转化的细胞及自其衍生的后代而不考虑传代的次数。后代在核酸内容物上可以与亲本细胞不完全相同,而是可以含有突变。本文中包括具有与在初始转化细胞中筛选或选择的相同功能或生物学活性的突变体后代。宿主细胞包括原核和真核宿主细胞,其中真核宿主细胞包括但不限于哺乳动物细胞、昆虫细胞系(例如,草地贪夜蛾(Spodoptera frugiperda)或粉纹夜蛾(Trichoplusia ni))、两栖动物细胞、细菌细胞、植物细胞和真菌细胞。哺乳动物宿主细胞包括人、小鼠、大鼠、犬、猴、猪、山羊、牛、马和仓鼠细胞,包括但不限于中国仓鼠卵巢(CHO)细胞、NSO、SP2细胞、HeLa细胞、幼仓鼠肾(BHK)细胞、猴肾细胞(COS)、人肝细胞癌细胞(例如,Hep G2)、A549细胞、3T3细胞和HEK-293细胞。真菌细胞包括酵母和丝状真菌细胞,包括例如巴氏毕赤酵母(Pichiapastoris)、芬兰毕赤酵母(Pichia finlandica)、海藻毕赤酵母(Pichia trehalophila)、科克拉马毕赤酵母(Pichia koclamae)、膜状毕赤酵母(Pichia membranaefaciens)、小毕赤酵母(Pichia minuta)(Ogataea minuta、Pichia lindneri)、仙人掌毕赤酵母(Pichiaopuntiae)、耐热毕赤酵母(Pichia thermotolerans)、柳毕赤酵母(Pichia salictaria)、Pichia guercuum、皮杰普毕赤酵母(Pichia pijperi)、具柄毕赤酵母(Pichia stiptis)、甲醇毕赤酵母(Pichia methanolica)、毕赤酵母属、酿酒酵母(Saccharomycescerevisiae)、酿酒酵母属、多形汉逊酵母(Hansenula polymorpha)、克鲁维酵母属、乳酸克鲁维酵母(Kluyveromyces lactis)、白色念珠菌(Candida albicans)、构巢曲霉(Aspergillus nidulans)、黑曲霉(Aspergillus niger)、米曲霉(Aspergillus oryzae)、里氏木霉(Trichoderma reesei)、勒克氏菌(Chrysosporium lucknowense)、镰刀菌属(Fusarium sp.)、禾谷镰刀菌(Fusarium gramineum)、菜镰刀菌(Fusarium venenatum)、小立碗藓(Physcomitrella patens)和粗糙脉孢菌(Neurospora crassa)。毕赤酵母属、任何酿酒酵母属、多形汉逊酵母(Hansenula polymorpha)、任何克鲁维酵母属、白色念珠菌(Candida albicans)、任何曲霉属、里氏木霉(Trichoderma reesei)、勒克霉菌(Chrysosporium lucknowense)、任何镰刀菌属、解脂耶氏酵母(Yarrowia lipolytica)和粗糙脉孢菌(Neurospora crassa)。在一些实施方案中,所述宿主细胞是非人细胞。
如在本申请中所使用的,表述“细胞”、“细胞系”和“细胞培养物”可以互换使用,并且所有这样的名称均包括子代。因而,词语“转化体”和“转化的细胞”包括原代受试者细胞和来源于其的培养物,而与传代的次数无关。还应理解的是,由于有意或无意的突变,使得并非所有子代均具有完全相同的DNA内容物。包括与筛选出其的原始转化细胞具有相同功能或生物活性的突变子代。
“任选”或“任选地”意味着随后所描述地事件或环境可以但不必发生,该 说明包括该事件或环境发生或不发生的场合。
“药物组合物”表示含有一种或多种本文所述的抗体或其抗原结合片段与其他化学组分的混合物,所述其他组分例如生理学/可药用的载体和赋形剂。
术语“药学上可接受的载体”意指生理学上相容的任何溶剂、分散介质、涂层、抗细菌和抗真菌剂、等渗和吸收增强或延迟剂等。药学上可接受的载体的一些实例为水、盐水、磷酸盐缓冲盐水、具有氯化钠的乙酸盐缓冲液、右旋糖、甘油、聚乙二醇、乙醇等以及其组合。在许多情况下,组合物中优选包含等渗剂,例如糖、多元醇(例如甘露醇、山梨糖醇)或氯化钠。药学上可接受的物质的其他实例为表面活性剂、湿润剂或少量辅助物质例如湿润剂或乳化剂、防腐剂或缓冲剂,其增强抗体的保质期或有效性。
本披露的药物组合物可通过本领域已知的各种方法施与。施与途径和/或方式根据所希望的结果而变化。优选地,施与可以是玻璃体内、静脉内、肌肉内、腹膜内或皮下或在靶标部位附近施与。药学上可接受的载体应适合于玻璃体内、静脉内、肌肉内、皮下、肠胃外、脊柱或表皮施与(例如,通过注射或输注)。根据施与途径,活性化合物(即抗体,双特异性和多特异性分子)可以包被在材料中以保护化合物免受酸和可能使化合物失活的其他自然条件的作用。
术语“受试者”包括人类和非人类动物。非人动物包括所有脊椎动物(例如哺乳动物和非哺乳动物)例如非人灵长类(例如,食蟹猴)、绵羊、狗、牛、鸡、两栖动物和爬行动物。除非指出时,否则所述术语“患者”或“受试者”在本文中可互换地使用。如本文所使用的,术语“食蟹猴(cyno)”或“食蟹猴(cynomolgus)”是指食蟹猴(Macaca fascicularis)。在某些实施方案中,个体或受试者是人。
“施用”、“给予”和“处理”,当其应用于动物、人、实验受试者、细胞、组织、器官或生物流体时,是指外源性药物、治疗剂、诊断剂或组合物与动物、人、受试者、细胞、组织、器官或生物流体的接触。
“样本”是指从受试者分离的类似流体、细胞、或组织的采集物,以及存在于受试者体内的流体、细胞或组织。示例性样本为生物流体,诸如血液、血清和浆膜液、血浆、淋巴液、尿液、唾液、囊液、泪液、排泄物、痰、分泌组织和器官的粘膜分泌物、阴道分泌物、腹水、胸膜、心包、腹膜、腹腔和其它体腔的流体、由支气管灌洗液收集的流体、滑液、与受试者或生物来源接触的液体溶液,例如细胞和器官培养基(包括细胞或器官条件培养基)、灌洗液等,组织活检样本、细针穿刺、手术切除的组织、器官培养物或细胞培养物。
“治疗/处理”(及其语法变型)指试图改变所治疗个体的天然过程的临床干预,并且可以为了预防或者在临床病理学的过程期间实施。治疗的期望效果包括但不限于预防疾病的发生或再发生,减轻症状,减轻/减少疾病的任何直接或间接病理后果,预防转移,降低疾病进展速率,改善或减轻疾病状态,和消退或改善的预后。在一些实施方案中,使用本披露的抗体来延迟疾病的形成或减缓疾病的进展。
“有效量”一般是足以降低症状的严重程度及/或频率、消除这些症状及/或潜在病因、预防症状及/或其潜在病因出现及/或改良或改善由疾病状态引起或与其相关的损伤(例如肺病)的量。在一些实施例中,有效量是治疗有效量或预防有效量。“治疗有效量”是足以治疗疾病状态或症状、尤其与该疾病状态相关的状态或症状,或者以其他方式预防、阻碍、延迟或逆转该疾病状态或以任何方式与该疾病相关的任何其他不理想症状的进展的量。“预防有效量”是当给予受试者时将具有预定预防效应,例如预防或延迟该疾病状态的发作(或复发),或者降低该疾病状态或相关症状的发作(或复发)可能性的量。完全治疗或预防效应未必因给予一个剂量便发生,而且可能仅在给予一系列剂量之后发生。因而,治疗或预防有效量可以一次或多次给予的方式给予。“治疗有效量”和“预防有效量”可取决于以下因素变化:诸如个体的疾病状态、年龄、性别和体重,以及治疗剂或治疗剂组合在个体中引发期望的应答的能力。有效治疗剂或治疗剂组合的示例性指标包括例如患者改善的健康状况。

实施例5.抗人ANG-2单克隆抗体的人源化
鼠源单克隆抗体人源化,可以根据本领域许多文献公示的方法进行。简言之,在所获得的鼠源抗体VH/VL CDR典型结构的基础上,从人源germline数据库中搜索轻链可变区(VL)和重链可变区(VH)的同源序列,选取FR同源性高的germline作为模板,将鼠源抗体的CDR区移植到人源模板上,并对FR区的某些氨基酸进行回复突变,将鼠源抗体的恒定区替换为人恒定区,得到最终的人源化分子。

结果显示,双特异性抗体1,双特异性抗体5,双特异性抗体2和双特异性抗体3与人和猴的VEGF和ANG-2均有较高的亲和力。
测试例2.基于ELISA的抗体阻断ANG-2结合Tie2受体实验
ANG-2与血管内皮细胞表面的ANG-2受体Tie2结合,引发Tie2细胞内酪氨酸激酶发生磷酸化,继而传导信号使外周细胞从血管内皮细胞脱落,使血管处于不稳定易于增殖的状态。因此,通过抗体阻断ANG-2与Tie2的结合可以使血管更稳定,抑制新生血管的生成。本实验鉴定结果表明双特异性抗体可以阻断ANG-2结合到重组表达的Tie2蛋白胞外区。
具体方法:用Tie2-Fc(SEQ ID NO:2,3μg/mL溶于PBS,100μL/孔,)包被ELISA板,4℃包被过夜,去除包被液后,加入用PBS稀释的5%脱脂牛奶封闭液200μL/孔,37℃孵育箱孵育2小时进行封闭。封闭结束后,弃去封闭液,并用PBST缓冲液(含0.05%吐温-20的PBS,pH7.4)洗板5次后,加入50μL用1%BSA稀释生物素标记试剂盒(东仁化学,LK03)标记的huANG-2-Fc(SEQ ID NO:1,bio-huANG-2-Fc,终浓度为0.15μg/mL)和50μL待测抗体(始浓度为10μg/mL,3倍比稀释),混匀后37℃孵育15分钟,加至ELISA板,37℃孵育1小时。孵育结束后,弃去酶标板中的反应液,用PBST洗板5次后,加入100μL/孔1:4000稀释的链霉亲和素-过氧化物酶聚合物(Sigma,S2438-250UG)于37℃孵育1小时。用PBST洗板5次后,加入100μL/孔TMB显色底物(KPL,52-00-03),于室温孵育3-10分钟,加入100μL/孔1M H 2SO 4终止反应,用NOVOStar酶标仪在450nm处读取吸收值,计算抗体阻断ANG-2与Tie2结合的IC50值。
结果显示,双特异性抗体均可较强地抑制ANG-2与Tie2的结合(见表15和 图1)。

通过眼玻璃体注射给药,检测对恒河猴激光致脉络膜新生血管渗漏和生长的影响,以验证双特异性抗体可玻璃体注射用于老年性黄斑变性(Age-related macular degeneration,AMD)等疾病的治疗。具体方法如下:
通过激光围绕恒河猴眼底黄斑中心凹光凝,诱导眼底脉络膜血管新生,建立与人类脉络膜新生血管类似的动物模型。光凝前及光凝后20天进行荧光素眼底血管造影判定造模情况,选择造模成功的16只恒河猴(四川格林豪斯生物科技有限公司,生产许可证号:SCXK(川)2014-013,实验动物质量合格证编号:No:0022202),将恒河猴随机分为溶媒对照组、雷珠单抗-IgG1(Lucentis,96μg,2μM)组、RG7716(292μg,2μM)组、双特异性抗体3(396μg,2μM)组,共4组,每组4只猴。
光凝后21天,Lucentis组、RG7716组、双特异性抗体3组,分别按96μg、292μg、396μg/眼,双眼玻璃体注射给予50μL浓度为1.92mg/mL的Lucentis,5.84mg/mL的RG7716,7.92mg/mL的双特异性抗体3,溶媒对照组给与等体积溶剂。各组动物于给药后7、14、28天进行眼压检查、眼底彩色照相、荧光素眼底血管造影检查、光学相干断层扫描(OCT),观察抗体对脉络膜新生血管的抑制情况。于给药后28天取房水100~200μL,分装100μL进行房水VEGF测定。于给药后29天实施安乐死后每组取3只眼球进行HE染色组织学检查。结果如下:
AMD造模
激光造模后20天,所纳入试验的16只猴双眼眼底彩色照相均可见黄斑周围各9个激光斑,眼底黄斑周围均可见有激光斑呈高荧光,明显的荧光素渗漏,且渗漏超过光斑边缘,激光造模后20天(给药前),溶媒对照组、Lucentis组、RG7716组、双特异性抗体3组4级荧光斑点数分别为46、42、40、45个。上述改变类似临床脉络膜新生血管(Choroidal Neovascularization,CNV)改变,提示造模成功。
荧光造影检查
Lucentis组、RG7716组、双特异性抗体3组在给药后7、14、28天荧光斑面积均有一定程度的缩小,各组荧光渗漏面积改善率、荧光素渗漏面积减少量均优于溶媒对照组,各组4级荧光斑点数与溶媒对照组相比明显降低。
28天后,给药量为2μM双特异性抗体3组与给药量2μM的雷珠单抗组和给药量为2μM的RG7716组,均可降低荧光渗漏面积,并减少荧光斑点数,结果见图8A和8B。
房水VEGF
Lucentis组、RG7716组、双特异性抗体3组在给药后28天房水VEGF表达量均明显低于溶媒对照组。双特异性抗体3组房水VEGF表达量均明显低于Lucentis组和RG7716组,结果见图9。
综上所述,在本试验条件下,激光CNV模型的恒河猴经双眼玻璃体单次注射给予396μg/眼剂量的双特异性抗体3,经视网膜血管荧光造影、光学相干断层成像、房水VEGF及眼组织病理学检查,双特异性抗体3在396μg/眼剂量下对猴CNV具有明显的抑制作用。
