  • Immunotherapy is the hottest cancer treatment method today, and is known as the third revolution in cancer treatment.
  • the so-called “cancer immunotherapy” is a treatment method that uses the body's own immune system to attack cancer cells.
  • the battle between the immune system and cancer cells is a dynamic process of a long-term game that is both head-to-head and intertwined.
  • the immune cells of a healthy body can find and kill cancer cells, but under the induction of various innate and acquired factors, the immune system will lose its absolute advantage, and even be “insured” by cancer cells, promoting the occurrence and development of cancer.
  • Targeted drugs had high hopes for their precision, but due to the fickleness and complexity of cancer cells, cancer cells are prone to drug resistance, and precision is easily useless. For this reason, since the discovery of CTLA-4 and PD-1, immune checkpoint inhibition in cancer treatment has gradually become a research hotspot.

技术领域
本发明涉及生物医药技术领域,特别涉及一种抗LAG-3的单克隆抗体、其抗原结合片段及其应用。
背景技术
免疫疗法是当今最火热的癌症治疗方式,被誉为癌症治疗的第三次革命。所谓的“癌症免疫治疗”是借助人体自身的免疫系统,去攻击癌细胞的治疗方法。免疫系统和癌细胞之间的抗衡是一个长期博弈的动态过程,既正面交锋也相互交织。健康机体的免疫细胞能发现和杀灭癌细胞,但在各种先天和后天因素的诱导下,免疫系统会失去绝对优势,甚至被癌细胞“策反”,助长癌症的发生和发展。靶向药物曾以其精准性被寄予厚望,但由于癌细胞的善变和复杂,癌细胞很容易产生耐药性,精准性也很容易没有了用武之地。为此,自CTLA-4和PD-1被发现后,免疫检查点抑制治疗癌症逐渐成为研究热点。
随着免疫抗癌疗法的兴起,LAG-3逐渐被认为是一个颇有潜力的免疫检查点受体,据报道,LAG-3在促进调节性T细胞活性和下调T细胞活化和增殖中起重要作用(Workman CJ等人,J.Immunol.2005;174:688-695)。LAG-3(Lymphocyte-activation gene 3)又称为CD223,该基因包括8个外显子,位于人的12号染色体(小鼠的6号染色体),属于免疫球蛋白超家族,其由胞外区、跨膜区和胞质区3个部分组成,编码由498个氨基酸构成的I型跨膜蛋白。LAG-3在激活的NK细胞、T细胞等免疫细胞表面广泛表达,可负向调控淋巴细胞功能,并且已有部分研究证实其在肿瘤以及自身免疫性疾病方面均发挥着重要作用。
临床前研究显示,抑制LAG-3能够让T细胞重新恢复细胞毒性,从而限制肿瘤的生长,进而增强对肿瘤的杀伤效果,同时抑制LAG-3还能够降低调节T细胞抑制免疫反应的功能,所以LAG-3是能够调节T细胞功能的免疫检查点受体,抑制LAG-3有助于使患者受益更多,特别是那些肿瘤中含有表达LAG-3的免疫细胞的患者,为此,LAG-3被认为是一个比其它免疫检查点蛋白更吸引人的靶点。目前免疫检查点二代靶点中,LAG-3是临床数据较多、成药 性相对确定的靶点。鉴于LAG-3存在的上述重要性,为了满足国内外肿瘤或其他免疫疾病患者的需求,急需开发具有较高生物学活性的抗LAG-3的单克隆抗体。

具体实施方式
为了更加容易理解本发明,描述实施例之前,先对本发明某些技术和科学术语作以下说 明:
本文所使用的术语“LAG-3”是指淋巴细胞活化因子3,这里的LAG-3包括但不限于活化的T细胞、NK细胞和B细胞表面上的二聚物表达的LAG-3(例如本领域公知的CD223)和人血清中发现的LAG-3的可溶形式,在本文中均称为LAG-3。
本文所使用的术语“抗体”,包含全抗体及其任一抗原结合片段,抗体包括鼠源抗体、人源化抗体、双特异抗体或嵌合抗体,抗体也可以是Fab、F(ab)2、Fv或ScFv(单链抗体),抗体可以是天然存在的抗体也可以是通过改变(例如突变、缺失、置换等)的抗体。
本文所使用的术语“可变区”和“恒定区”,即为抗体重链和轻链靠近N段的序列区为可变区(V区),靠近C段的其余氨基酸序列相对稳定,为恒定区(C区),可变区包括3个互补性决定区(CDR)和4个框架区(FR),每条轻链可变区和重链可变区均有3个CDR区和4个FR区组成,重链的3个CDR区分别通过HCDR1、HCDR2和HCDR3表示,轻链的3个CDR区分别通过LCDR1、LCDR2和LCDR3表示。
本文所使用的术语“鼠源抗体分子”,其来源是用LAG-3抗原免疫注射小鼠后得到的抗体。
本文所使用的术语“嵌合抗体分子”,是将鼠源抗体的可变区与人源抗体的恒定区融合而成的抗体,可以减轻鼠源抗体在人体内诱发的免疫应答反应。嵌合抗体是利用DNA重组技术,将鼠源单抗的轻、重链可变区基因插入含有人抗体恒定区的表达载体中,这样表达的抗体分子中轻重链的可变区是鼠源的,而恒定区是人源的,整个抗体分子的近2/3部分都是人源的。这样产生的抗体,减少了鼠源抗体的免疫原性,同时保留了亲本抗体特异性结合抗原的能力。
本文所使用的术语“人源化抗体分子”,其是将鼠源单抗的CDR移植至人源抗体可变区,替代人源抗体CDR,使人源抗体获得鼠源单抗的抗原结合特异性,同时减少其异源性。
术语“CHO细胞”为中国仓鼠卵巢细胞(chinese hamster ovary cell);术语“HEK293E细胞”为人胚肾293E细胞(human embryonic kidney 293E cell),术语“NS0细胞”为小鼠NS0胸腺瘤细胞。
下面结合以下实施例对本发明作进一步详细说明。

周龄:6-8周
体重:18-22g
数量:75只
实验动物提供商:江苏集萃药康生物科技股份有限公司
生产许可证号:SCXK(苏)2018-0008
3、实验方法
(1)细胞培养
MC38肿瘤细胞用含有灭活的10%胎牛血清,100U/mL的青霉素和100μg/mL的链霉素以及2mM谷氨酰胺的DMEM培养基在37℃、5%CO2的培养箱中培养,每隔3至4天待细胞长满后分瓶传代,将处于对数生长期的肿瘤细胞用于体内肿瘤的接种。
(2)肿瘤细胞接种与分组
将PBS重悬的MC38肿瘤细胞,浓度为1×10 7/mL,接种于实验动物的右侧胁肋部皮下,1×10 6/100μL/只,在肿瘤生长至50mm 3左右时分组给药(当天记为PG-D0),共8组,每组10只。
(3)小鼠体重的测量及实验指标
每周使用游标卡尺对肿瘤体积进行2-3次测量并用电子天平称量小鼠体重,测量肿瘤的长径和短径,其体积计算公式为:体积=0.5×长径×短径 2。根据肿瘤体积计算T/C值,其中T为各受试物处理组相对肿瘤体积(RTV)的平均值,C为对照组相对肿瘤体积(RTV)的平均值,RTV为给药后与给药前的肿瘤体积比值。肿瘤生长抑制率TGITV(%)=(1-T/C)×100%。
实验结束时,动物安乐死,剥离肿瘤称重、摆放整齐拍照,并计算瘤重抑制率TGITW(%),公式为(1-T/C)×100%,其中T/C=治疗组TW平均值/对照组TW平均值。
原则上,评价标准为:T/C(%)>40%为无效;T/C(%)≤40%,并经统计学处理P<0.05为有效。
4、给药方案

注:*各组给药容积依动物体重按10μL/g,出现体重下降15-20%时可调节给药量;i.p.:腹腔注射;biw x 3wks:每周给药两次,给药三周,共6次;#:为JY03第二次给药时开始给药,实际给药次数为三周共5次。
5、统计学分析
应用IBM SPSS Statistics 22.0统计学软件,应用One-Way ANOVA检验对肿瘤体积、肿瘤重量进行组间统计学分析,p<0.05认为有显著性差异。
6、数据结果如下:
(1)肿瘤生长抑制结果

注:各组进行One-Way ANOVA单因素方差分析并采用LSD(least significant difference)进行事后多重比较; a .均数±标准误; b .与Vehicle组比较; c .与Opdivo组比较; d .与JY03组比较; e .与JY03+JY034组比较; f .与JY03+Opdivo组比较。JY034治疗组间比较均无统计学差异(p>0.05)。其中JY034组、Opdivo组、JY03+JY034组和JY03+Opdivo组分别有3只、5只、1只、4只小鼠肿瘤完全消退。
(2)肿瘤重量

注:各组进行One-Way ANOVA单因素方差分析并采用LSD(least significant difference)进行事后多重比较; a .均数±标准误; b .与Vehicle组比较; c .与Opdivo组比较; d .与JY03组比较; e .与JY03+JY034组比较; f .与JY03+Opdivo组比较。
综上,通过上述数据及图12和13所示,受试药物JY03组、JY034组、Opdivo组、JY03+JY034组和JY03+Opdivo组对PD-1和LAG3双靶点人源化结直肠癌MC38模型的治疗均产生了明确的抗肿瘤作用,其中,JY03+JY034组对肿瘤的抑制效果明显强于单药JY03组和单药JY034组,JY03+Opdivo组对肿瘤的抑制效果明显强于单药JY03组和单药Opdivo组,为此可以说明,抗LAG-3单克隆抗体能够提高抗PD-1单克隆抗体对肿瘤的抑制作用;此外各组中动物耐受性良好,未见明显不良反应。
