  • the present invention relates to the field of biomedicine, in particular to an anti-Nectin-4 protein antibody and its conjugate, and the use of the antibody and the conjugate in treating tumors.
  • Nectin-4 (Nectin Cell Adhesion Molecule 4), also known as PVRL4 (Poliovirus Receptor like 4), is a type I membrane protein belonging to the cell adhesion factor (Nectin) family One of the members, specifically expressed in embryos and placenta; this family is a group of Ca2+-independent immunoglobulin-like transmembrane cell adhesion molecules, consisting of four members (Nectin-1 to Nectin-4).
  • Nectin-1 to Nectin-3 are ubiquitously expressed in normal adult tissues.
  • Nectin-4 protein cannot be detected in adult healthy tissues (including breast tissue), but it is overexpressed in various cancers (breast cancer, lung cancer, ovarian cancer, etc.), and overexpression is found in 62% of triple-negative breast cancers .
  • Nectin-4 in cancer progression can promote intratumoral angiogenesis and promote tumor growth.
  • the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway is involved in the promotion of Nectin-4-mediated cancer cell proliferation.
  • overexpression of Nectin-4 is associated with poor prognosis in lung, breast and ovarian cancers.
  • Nectin-4 interacts with Afadin protein (actin filament-binding protein) to form a complex, and ultimately improves cell survival and prevents cell apoptosis through the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway; high expression of Nectin-4 is a key factor in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC ) risk factors for lymph node metastasis; Nectin-4 depletion can effectively inhibit the proliferation and invasion of two PTC cell lines (ie TPC1, KTC-1 human thyroid cancer cell lines) in vitro and induce apoptosis; Nectin in human esophageal cancer tissue The overexpression of -4 is closely related to tumor size, tumor invasion depth and poor prognosis of patients. Intervention of Nectin-4 expression in esophageal cancer cell lines showed that increased Nectin-4 expression can significantly promote cell viability, migration, invasion and tumor formation.
  • Afadin protein actin filament-binding protein
  • Bladder cancer refers to malignant tumors occurring on the bladder mucosa, most of which are transitional epithelial cell carcinomas. It is most common in the side wall and back wall of the bladder, followed by the trigone and top, and its occurrence can be multicentric. Bladder cancer is the most common tumor of the urinary system, more common in men. According to the data released by the National Cancer Center in 2019, bladder cancer ranks seventh among male cancers, with an incidence rate of 8.83/100,000, and the upward trend has been obvious in recent years. There are differences in the incidence of bladder cancer in regions, races, and genders, and it can occur In all age groups, the highest incidence age is 50-70 years old, and the incidence rate gradually increases with age.

  • About 1.4 million people in the world are diagnosed with breast cancer every year, and about 50 Ten thousand people die from the disease, and breast cancer is the first cause of death among women aged 40 to 55. Since the late 1970s, the incidence of breast cancer has been ranked first in female malignant tumors worldwide.
  • According to figures released by the American Cancer Society there are about 200,000 new cases of breast cancer in the United States every year, with an incidence rate of 116/100,000. Although my country is a low-incidence area for female breast cancer, the incidence of breast cancer has increased significantly in recent years.
  • monoclonal antibodies are the largest sub-sector in the field of biopharmaceuticals.
  • monoclonal antibody drugs accounted for 43% of the total biopharmaceutical market share; although monoclonal antibody therapy has the characteristics of high target specificity and low side effects, its curative effect is relatively limited when used alone. Therefore, most monoclonal antibody drugs are used in combination with chemotherapy, and the main way to improve the curative effect of monoclonal antibodies is antibody drug conjugates.
  • Antibody-drug conjugates belong to a new class of anti-cancer biomissile drugs, which are composed of three parts: antibody, drug and linker connecting them.

Abstract

一种抗Nectin-4抗体、药物缀合物及其制备方法和用途,其能够有效用于治疗和/或预防Nectin-4阳性肿瘤,包括以乳腺癌和膀胱癌为代表的癌症。

Description

抗Nectin-4抗体、药物缀合物及其制备方法和用途 技术领域
本发明涉及生物医药领域,尤其涉及一种抗Nectin-4蛋白的抗体及其缀合物,以及上述抗体和缀合物在治疗肿瘤方面的用途。
背景技术
Nectin-4(Nectin Cell Adhesion Molecule 4),也被称为PVRL4(脊髓灰质炎病毒受体样4,Poliovirus Receptor like 4),是一种I型膜蛋白,隶属于细胞粘附因子(Nectin)家族成员之一,在胚胎和胎盘中特异性表达;该家族是一组不依赖Ca2+的免疫球蛋白样跨膜细胞粘附分子,由四个成员组成(Nectin-1至Nectin-4)。Nectin-1至Nectin-3在正常的成人组织中广泛表达。Nectin-4蛋白无法在成人健康组织(包括乳腺组织)中检测到,但在多种癌症(乳腺癌、肺癌、卵巢癌等)组织中过表达,在62%的三阴性乳腺癌中发现过表达。
研究表明:在癌症进展中Nectin-4的过表达可促进肿瘤内血管生成并促进肿瘤生长。此外,PI3K/AKT信号通路参与促进Nectin-4介导的癌细胞增殖。此外,Nectin-4的过表达与肺癌,乳腺癌和卵巢癌的不良预后相关。Nectin-4与Afadin蛋白(actin filament-binding protein)相互作用形成复合物,并通过PI3K-AKT信号通路最终提高细胞存活率并防止细胞凋亡;Nectin-4的高表达是甲状腺乳头状癌(PTC)患者淋巴结转移的危险因素;Nectin-4耗竭能够有效抑制体外两个PTC细胞系(即TPC1、KTC-1人甲状腺癌细胞系)的增殖和侵袭并诱导细胞凋亡;人食道癌组织中Nectin-4的过度表达与肿瘤的大小,肿瘤的浸润深度和患者的预后不良密切相关。食道癌细胞系中Nectin-4表达的干预表明,增加的Nectin-4表达可以显着促进细胞活力,迁移,侵袭和肿瘤形成。
膀胱癌是指发生在膀胱黏膜上的恶性肿瘤,多数为移行上皮细胞癌。在膀胱侧壁及后壁最多,其次为三角区和顶部,其发生可为多中心。膀胱癌是泌尿系统最常见的肿瘤,在男性中更为常见。根据2019年国家癌症中心公布的数据,膀胱癌位列男性癌症第七位,发病率为8.83/10万,且近年来上升趋势较为明显,膀胱癌发病存在地区、种族及性别的差异,可发生于各年龄段,高发年龄50~70岁,且随着年龄增加,发病率也逐渐增加。
膀胱癌在临床上归类为非肌层浸润肿瘤(NMIBC)和肌层浸润肿瘤(MIBC)或转移性肿瘤。尿路上皮(移行上皮)癌是膀胱癌的常见类型,约占所有病例的90%。转移性 膀胱癌一般都伴随一个不佳的预后,IV期膀胱癌患者5年生存率仅为15%。对于NMIBC和MIBC,经尿道膀胱肿瘤切除术(TURBT)为标准疗法,局部膀胱灌注化疗以及后续的免疫治疗(应用法芽孢杆菌卡介苗BCG)为辅助疗法;在过去数十年里,对于转移性癌症,化疗早已成为癌症治疗的首选疗法,最常用的是含铂的相关疗法。
乳腺癌目前依旧是全世界发生率最高的女性肿瘤,全世界每年乳腺癌的发病率以0.2%~8%的幅度上升,每年全世界约有140万人被诊断为乳腺癌,而大约有50万人死于该病,乳腺癌是40~55岁女性的第一位死亡原因。自20世纪70年代末开始,乳腺癌的发病在全球范围内一直位居女性恶性肿瘤的首位。根据美国癌症学会公布的数字,美国每年约有20万乳腺癌新发病例,发病率为116/10万,我国虽属女性乳腺癌的低发地区,但近年来乳腺癌的发病率明显增高。中国主要城市10年来乳腺癌发病率增长了37%,死亡率增长了38.9%。尤其以上海、北京、天津及沿海地区为我国乳腺癌的高发地区,已占女性恶性肿瘤发病率的首位。
目前,国际上抗肿瘤用药以靶向药物单克隆抗体为主,单抗是生物制药领域最大的子行业。数据表明:2016年单克隆体抗类药物占据整个生物药市场份额的43%;虽然单克隆抗体治疗因具有靶点特异性高、副作用低等特点,但是单独使用,其疗效比较有限。因此,大多数单克隆抗体药物都与化疗联合使用,目前提高单克隆抗体疗效的主要途径是抗体药物缀合物。抗体药物缀合物属于一类新型抗癌生物导弹药物,是由三部分组成的:抗体,药物与连接两者的接头。将单克隆抗体与药物偶联后,抗体-药物缀合物利用单克隆抗体的靶向性,特异性地识别癌细胞表面的受体,并与受体结合,然后进入到细胞内部,利用细胞内的蛋白酶释放药物阻止癌细胞繁殖与杀灭癌细胞。抗体药物偶联技术使小分子药物与生物蛋白融为一体,兼具二者之长,极大增强了药效,并减少毒副作用,成为新一代治疗产品。
目前国内外靶向Nectin-4的项目没有化学药物,只有6款生物药,其中以Nectin-4为靶点的抗体药物缀合物(ADC)仅有一款上市药物,即为日本Agensys公司(安斯泰来旗下公司)和美国Seattle Genetics公司合作开发的一款靶向Nectin-4的ADC药物,2019年12月19日被FDA加速批准,商品名为Padcev,适应症为:局部晚期或转移性尿路上皮癌。相关临床数据表明:ORR为44%,CR为12%,中位DOR为7.6个月;在接受Padcev治疗的患者中,有46%发生了严重的不良反应;最常见的严重不良反应(≥3%)是尿路感染(6%),蜂窝织炎(5%),高热性中性粒细胞减少症(4%),腹泻(4%),败血症(3%),急性肾损伤(3%),呼吸困难(3%)和皮疹(3%);致命的不良反应发生在3.2%的患者中:包括急性呼吸衰竭(0.8%),误吸性肺炎(0.8%),心脏疾病(0.8%)和败血症(0.8%)。
由此可见,Padcev的不良反应比较严重,基于Nectin-4靶点的研究现状,患者针对相关抗体药物缀合物仍在存在未被满足的治疗需求,急需高效、低副作用、价格合理的能够惠及广大肿瘤患者的抗肿瘤靶向药品。
ADC的研发是一项非常复杂的工作,正确的选择靶点、对药物进行优化和改进、选择合适的接头提升ADC药物的疗效和安全性,均是ADC药物研发的难点。ADC药物设计需要基于对抗体、接头和药物作为一个有机整体进行全面的考量,明确肿瘤适应症和药物作用靶点,并充分、透彻地研究ADC药物的作用机制,从而最终实现ADC药物对肿瘤细胞的有效杀伤,同时提高患者的生活质量。
需要强调的是,ADC成功的关键之一在于选择合适的抗体,在保持药物活性的条件下将药物输送到肿瘤细胞。用于制备ADC的抗体要有一定的特性,它不仅需要特异性结合至肿瘤中的抗原阳性细胞,而且抗原-抗体复合物需要能够介导ADC的内化;筛选抗体需要至少考虑以下三个因素:特异性结合、内化以及内化后抗体的细胞定位;并且,抗体的亲和力与内化速度并无明确的联系(Laurent Ducry著,抗体药物偶联物,科学出版社,第36-37页)。因此,抗体作为精确度极高的“定位装置”,能够特异性结合目标细胞以及有效介导“内吞”及其定位,对抗体药物缀合物的特异性和毒性至关重要;
基于现有技术的缺陷,发明人针对现有药物的接头和小分子药物缀合不稳定的问题,采用NH 2-PEG 3-Val-Cit作为接头,采用酶介导的定点偶联方式将人源化抗体通过接头与小分子药物(例如:MMAE)偶联,获得的ADC药物对Nectin-4高表达癌症细胞尤其是乳腺癌、膀胱癌等肿瘤具有极强的杀伤作用;具体而言,首先,根据胞吞实验结果,本发明获得的抗Nectin-4的抗体药物缀合物相对于对照药Padcev具有更好的胞吞效果,能够同时实现特异性结合、高效内化以及精准细胞定位,提高了抗体药物缀合物的特异性的同时降低其毒性;其次,体内实验表明:在具有Nectin-4阳性异种移植肿瘤的裸鼠中静脉内施用抗体药物缀合物导致肿瘤生长抑制,在低至1mg/kg的单剂量静脉内施用下即可观察到显著的治疗效果;其总体治疗效果显著优于对照药Padcev;最后,Padcev在猴子毒理实验中6mg/kg第二次给药即出现严重的不良反应并致死。相比之下,本发明获得的抗体药物缀合物在9mg/kg高剂量两次给药基本上无不良反应,治疗窗口期更宽,成药性更好,综合来看,本申请提供的抗体药物缀合物取得了预料不到的技术效果。

实施例1:抗体的获得以及人源化改造
Nectin-4鼠源抗体制备相关内容参考专利申请WO2022051591A2,简要步骤如下:
用含有佐剂(弗氏佐剂)的人Nectin-4-His融合蛋白通过腹腔注射的方式对动物(BALB/c小鼠)进行免疫。每2周对动物进行加强免疫持续诱导直至产生合适效价。每次加强免疫后对动物进行采血,通过ELISA和FACS检测效价;最后一次免疫后4天,获取合适效价动物的脾脏,并制备单细胞悬液。使用电融合将细胞与SP2/0小鼠骨髓瘤细胞进行融合。将融合的细胞重悬于含杂交瘤细胞选择剂胸腺核苷嘧啶,次黄嘌呤和氨基喋呤(HAT)的培养基中,然后接种到96孔板中进行培养。
孵育7-10天之后,收集培养上清,通过ELISA或者FACS的方法检测筛选出能够结合人Nectin-4蛋白的克隆,并验证是否结合小鼠Nectin-4蛋白。杂交瘤细胞在添加新鲜含有HAT的培养基之后继续培养。2天后收集第一轮筛选出来的阳性克隆培养上清再进行抗体功能活性检测。之后,对挑选出的阳性克隆进行进一步的亚克隆。亚克隆成功后,用常规的抗体纯化方法对这些抗体进行纯化,同时对部分符合要求的克隆进行抗体可变区测序。
经动物免疫及筛选后获得的Nectin-4鼠源抗体,进行人源化改造(委托金斯瑞完成人源化工作得到SWY2001-Ab1、SWY2001-Ab2、SWY2001-Ab3三个人源化抗体,具体序列见表2;人源化步骤如下:
1.1嵌合抗体表达纯化
通过基因合成将嵌合抗体(所述嵌合抗体是在鼠源抗体的基础上改造而成,恒定区选自human IgG1)的可变区序列分别插入到载体pcDNA3.4(IgG1,kappa)中,构建完整的重链及轻链质粒。再把质粒转染至HEK293细胞,收集上清后采用protein A磁珠纯化得到全长抗体。通过透析脱盐将溶液置换为PBS,抗体的浓度和纯度分别通过OD280和SDS-PAGE凝胶电泳检测。然后通过表面等离子共振(Surface Plasmon Resonance,SPR)技术检测其亲和力。
1.2嵌合抗体结合活性及亲和力检测
嵌合抗体亲和力检测主要通过Biacore仪器运用表面等离子共振(Surface Plasmon Resonance,SPR)技术来测定。检测方法:使用protein A芯片通过捕获抗体Fc片段来偶联结合抗体,以抗原作为流动相来检测,获得的检测数据通过仪器自带的软件拟合测定相应的结合常数(ka)和解离常数(pk)及计算对应平衡常数(KD)。
1.3人源化抗体回复突变的设计
对人源化抗体的轻、重链结构内核区的多个氨基酸位点进行回复突变及组合。相应的轻重链基因由金斯瑞生物科技有限公司(GenScript)合成。
1.4回复突变人源化抗体的生产及亲和力排序
获得重链和轻链的质粒后,将对应轻重链组合配对并进行4mL体系的转染表达。获取表达上清后,运用SPR技术对其上清进行亲和力检测和排序:使用protein A芯片通过捕获抗体Fc片段来捕获上清中抗体,将抗体固定在传感芯片上。分析物抗原用作流动相。在注射另一株抗体上清之前进行表面再生,重复该过程直至分析完所有抗体。通过使用Biacore分析软件,运用1∶1相互作用模型拟合实验数据。获得抗体的结合解离速率,通过解离速率常数(pk)对抗体亲和力进行排序。根据排序结果,选择亲和力前3高的克隆作为候选抗体,通过上述步骤获得三个人源化抗体, 分别命名为:SWY2001-Ab1、SWY2001-Ab2以及SWY2001-Ab3。
1.5候选抗体的构建、表达及亲和力测定验证
将3株候选抗体基因分别插入到载体pcDNA3.4(IgG1,kappa)中,构建完整的重链及轻链抗体质粒。再把轻重链质粒共转染至Expi293F细胞,收集上清后采用protein A磁珠纯化得到全长抗体。通过透析脱盐将溶液置换为PBS,抗体的浓度和纯度分别通过OD280和SDS-PAGE凝胶电泳检测。然后通过表面等离子共振(Surface Plasmon Resonance,SPR)技术检测其亲和力。

实验结果如图12所示,本实验条件下,PADCEV 3mg/kg、SWY2001-Ab1-LND1002 3mg/kg抑瘤率分别为42.1%、49.4%。与溶剂对照组相比,Nectin-4-ADC 3mg/kg(单次给药)组均能显著抑制肿瘤的生长。与阳性对照PADCEV 3mg/kg(单次给药)组相比,SWY2001-Ab1-LND1002 3mg/kg组对肿瘤的抑制作用显著提高。
实施例10:SWY2001-Ab1-ADC安全性评价研究
10.1相对于化学法偶联SWY2001-Ab1-VC-MMAE的效果对比试验
本试验选用适龄雄性食蟹猴6只,通过静脉注射对照品和供试品SWY2001-Ab1-ADC,观察毒性反应。供试品SWY2001-Ab1-LND1002(DAR2),对照品SWY2001-Ab1-VC-MMAE(DAR4),剂量设计如下表所示,每周静脉注射1次,连续注射2周,第二次给药后连续观察7天,每天2次一般观察,每天1次详细观察。在给药前1D、给药后7D、14D观察体重变化,并进行血液学和血生化指标检测。

实验结果如下表所示:
表11:毒性实验结果
Figure PCTCN2022114793-appb-000015
Figure PCTCN2022114793-appb-000016
上述实验结果表明:总体而言,根据临床观察同剂量下对照品皮肤毒性、眼部毒性比供试品严重;具体来看,供试品SWY2001-Ab1-LND1002在高剂量组(9mg/kg)的临床观察,仅见轻微的眼毒性(双眼眼周发红),相比之下,对照组在6mg/kg低剂量组不仅显示出眼毒性的症状,还表现出:左后爪破溃,左后肢膝关节以下至踝关节轻度肿胀,双眼眼周变色,双前肢脱屑等严重毒性反应,甚至在第3次给药后出现动物死亡的严重不良反应,相比之下,本申请制备的供试品即使在第3次给药调整为12mg/kg(远高于6mg/kg的对照品施用剂量),两只动物均未见异常,安全性显著优于对照品。
10.2相对于PADCEV(市售)的食蟹猴安全性实验
试验使用食蟹猴10只,雌雄各半,随机分为5组,每组2只。第1组给予6mg/kg市售对照品
Figure PCTCN2022114793-appb-000017
第2~5组给予供试品SWY2001-Ab1-LND1002,静脉输注给药,给药容量为10mL/kg,输注速度为0.5mL/kg/min。各组动物给药剂量、浓 度、频次和周期见下表:
表12:毒性实验设计方案
Figure PCTCN2022114793-appb-000018
a:自D15开始,给药剂量调整为18mg/kg
相同剂量(6mg/kg)下,供试品与市售对照品相比,二者毒性表征基本一致,包括皮肤异常,白细胞及分类计数、红系相关指标(RBC、HGB、HCT),AST、ALT、PLT和FIB异常,角膜组织病理学异常。市售对照品异常症状出现比供试品更早(D7vs D14),皮肤毒性表征更严重(皮屑vs破溃)。
市售对照品FDA资料显示:食蟹猴重复给药4周长毒试验中,每周给予1、3和6mg/kg的市售对照品,3只动物在试验早期出现死亡(D11),主要毒性包括皮肤损伤、骨髓毒性和轻度肝脏毒性,由于严重毒性表征,6mg/kg所有动物在第2次给药后(D8)均停止给药。
由此可见,相同剂量的供试品与市售对照品
Figure PCTCN2022114793-appb-000019
相比,毒性风险更小。
综合上述实验结果可知:本申请获得的抗体药物缀合物在胞吞、体外抑瘤细胞实验、体内抑瘤药效实验(前列腺癌、乳腺癌以及膀胱癌)中,总体效果显著优于PADCEV;特别是在安全性评价初步试验表明:本申请获得的抗体药物缀合物治疗窗口更宽,副作用更小,未见明显的皮肤毒性、眼部毒性等不良反应。
实施例11:SWY2001-Ab1-LND1002稳定性实验
血浆稳定性实验
试验采用37℃体外血浆孵育的方法对SWY2001-Ab1-LND1002和MMAE在SD大鼠、食蟹猴和人血浆中的稳定性进行测定。另外,选用PBST作为阴性对照组,用于考察整个试验系统的可靠性。其中,各孵育组分别于0h、24h、48h(D2)、72h(D3)、96h(D4)、168h(D7)和336h(D14)采集孵育样本。采用LC-MS/MS方法测定各种属血浆和PBST中MMAE的浓度。SWY2001-Ab1-LND1002在各种属血浆及PBST中 孵育后MMAE平均生成百分率结果见表12:
表13各种属血浆中MMAE平均生成百分率(%)
Figure PCTCN2022114793-appb-000020
实验结果表明:测试浓度范围内,三个浓度的抗体药物缀合物在人、猴、大鼠血浆孵育336h后,小分子MMAE的生成量约占其理论量的1%左右,证实其具有良好的稳定性。
