- Transforming growth factor- ⁇ (transforming growth factor- ⁇ , TGF- ⁇ ) belongs to a group of TGF- ⁇ superfamily that regulates cell growth and differentiation. In mammals, at least four subtypes, TGF- ⁇ 1, TGF- ⁇ 2, TGF- ⁇ 3, and TGF- ⁇ 1 ⁇ 2, are found. TGF- ⁇ is a disulfide linked by two subunits with the same or similar structure and a molecular weight of 12.5kDa.

- molecular weights 53kDa and 70 ⁇ 85kDa and 250 ⁇ 350kDa
- Type I and type II TGF- ⁇ R TGF- ⁇ receptors
- TGF- ⁇ receptors are both glycoproteins, and their affinity for TGF- ⁇ 1 is 10-80 times greater than that for TGF- ⁇ 2.
- Type III TGF- ⁇ R (TGF- ⁇ receptor) - ⁇ receptor) is a kind of proteoglycan, its affinity with TGF- ⁇ 1, TGF- ⁇ 2, TGF- ⁇ 3 is similar, it is the main receptor of TGF- ⁇ , and plays an important role in the biological function of TGF- ⁇ , TGF- ⁇ RIII, also known as Endoglin, CD105, TGF- ⁇ 1 and TGF- ⁇ 3 as its main ligands.
- TGF- ⁇ R (TGF- ⁇ receptor) type III receptors belong to accessory receptors and do not directly participate in signal transduction. Its main function is to increase the binding of TGF- ⁇ on the cell surface and provide it to type I, II Type TGF- ⁇ R (Taylor AW.
- TGF- ⁇ R TGF- ⁇ receptor
- Type III receptor can also inhibit the metastasis, invasion, growth and angiogenesis of tumor cells, and has potential application value in tumor therapy (Gatzal CE, Oh SY, Blobe GC. Roles for the typeIII TGF- ⁇ receptor in human cancer [J]. Cell Signal, 2010,22(8):1163-1174.).
- Transforming growth factor- ⁇ (transforming growth factor- ⁇ , TGF- ⁇ ) signaling pathway is a series of signal transmission process mediated by transforming growth factor, TGF- ⁇ signaling pathway plays a key role in the growth, development and differentiation of cells and tissues Proliferation, intercellular matrix production, differentiation, apoptosis, embryonic development, organ formation, immune function, inflammatory response, wound repair, etc. have important regulatory functions.
- TGF- ⁇ The immune function of TGF- ⁇ is mainly reflected in immunosuppression, which can inhibit the proliferation and differentiation of T ⁇ B lymphocytes.
- TGF- ⁇ can both stimulate and inhibit cell proliferation. It depends on the type and differentiation state of the cells. For example, TGF- ⁇ can promote the mitosis of osteoblasts; it has a strong inhibitory effect on the growth of liver cells, and TGF- ⁇ also has a certain regulatory effect on cell adhesion.
- TGF- ⁇ In the tumor microenvironment, TGF- ⁇ also plays an important role in immunosuppression, TGF- ⁇ regulates the production and function of many types of immune cells, it directly promotes the expansion of Treg cells, inhibits effector T cells and antigen-presenting dendrites The generation and function of DC cells, which control adaptive immunity. Similarly, TGF- ⁇ controls the innate immune system by suppressing natural killer cells (NK cells) and modulating complex behaviors of macrophages and neutrophils, thereby forming a network of negative immune regulatory inputs.
- NK cells natural killer cells
- TGF- ⁇ The role of TGF- ⁇ in immune regulation falls within the broader roles of this cytokine and other members of its family in development, homeostasis, and tissue regeneration. Dysfunction of this pathway leads to birth defects, fibrotic diseases, immune dysregulation and cancer.
- the effects of TGF- ⁇ on most adult mammalian cells are from cell proliferation, differentiation, adhesion, movement, metabolism, communication and death.
- TGF- ⁇ as an effective tumor suppressor, functions by inhibiting the proliferation and promoting apoptosis of malignant tumor precursor cells. Interfering with TGF- ⁇ signaling through cellular mutations not only converts these cells into a mature malignant state, but also allows them to use TGF- ⁇ to create an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) and generate additional matrix modifiers that promote tumor growth. Progression and transfer (Battle, Eduard. Transforming Growth Factor- ⁇ Signaling in Immunity and Cancer. [J], Immunity, 50(4):924-940.).

Abstract
一种双功能融合蛋白,可以同时靶向TGF-β和PD-L1的双功能融合蛋白。用于治疗晚期实体瘤,可以防止TGF-β和PD-L1介导的信号传导,并增加自然杀伤(NK)细胞和细胞毒性T淋巴细胞(CTL)活性,能够抑制易感肿瘤细胞中的肿瘤细胞增殖。
Description
本发明属于生物技术领域,具体地,本发明提供一种双功能融合蛋白,更具体地,本发明提供了一种同时靶向TGF-β和PD-L1的双功能融合蛋白。
转化生长因子-β(transforming growth
factor-β,TGF-β)是属于一组调节细胞生长和分化的TGF-β超家族,在哺乳动物至少发现有TGF-β1、TGF-β2、TGF-β3、TGF-β1β2四个亚型,TGF-β是由两个结构相同或相近的、分子量为12.5kDa亚单位通过二硫键链接的双体。
TGF-β R(TGF-β受体)在许多细胞表面都会存在,现有TGF-β R(TGF-β受体)存在Ⅰ型、Ⅱ型、Ⅲ型三种形式,分子量分别为53kDa、70~85kDa和250~350kDa。Ⅰ型、Ⅱ型TGF-β R(TGF-β受体)均为糖蛋白,二者和TGF-β1的亲和力较和TGF-β2的亲和力大10~80倍,Ⅲ型TGF-β R(TGF-β受体)是一种蛋白聚糖,其与TGF-β1、TGF-β2、 TGF-β3的亲和力近似,是TGF-β主要的受体,在TGF-β发挥生物学功能中起重要作用,TGF-β RⅢ又名Endoglin,CD105,TGF-β1和TGF-β3为其主要的配体。TGF-β R(TGF-β受体)Ⅲ型受体属于辅助型受体,不直接参与信号传导,其主要功能是增加细胞表面上TGF-β的结合,并将其提供给Ⅰ型、Ⅱ型TGF-β R(Taylor AW. Review of the activation of TGF-β in immunity [J]. J Leukoc Biol, 2009, 85(1):29-33.),TGF-β R(TGF-β受体)Ⅲ型受体还能抑制肿瘤细胞的转移、浸润、生长和血管的发生,在肿瘤治疗中存在潜在的用于价值(Gatzal
CE, Oh SY, Blobe GC. Roles for the typeⅢ TGF-β receptor in human cancer [J]. Cell Signal, 2010,22(8):1163-1174.)。
转化生长因子-β(transforming
growth factor-β,TGF-β)信号通路是通过转化生长因子所介导的一系列信号传递的过程,TGF-β信号通路在细胞和组织的生长、发育、分化中起关键作用,对细胞的增殖、细胞间质生产、分化、凋亡,胚胎发育,器官的形成,免疫功能,炎性反应,创伤修复等有重要的调节作用。
TGF-β免疫功能主要体现在免疫抑制,它能抑制T\B淋巴细胞的增殖和分化,在细胞增殖方面,TGF-β对细胞的增殖既可以起刺激作用又可以起抑制作用。这取决于细胞的类型和分化状态,如TGF-β能促进成骨细胞的有丝分裂;而对肝细胞的生长具有很强的抑制作用,TGF-β对细胞粘连也具有一定的调控作用。
在肿瘤微环境中,TGF-β对免疫抑制也起着重要作用,TGF-β调节许多类型免疫细胞的产生和功能,它通过直接促进Treg细胞的扩张,抑制效应T细胞和抗原递呈树突状细胞(DC细胞)的产生和功能,控制适应性免疫。类似地,TGF-β通过抑制自然杀伤细胞(NK细胞)和调节巨噬细胞和中性粒细胞的复杂行为来控制先天免疫系统,从而形成一个负性免疫调节输入网络。
TGF-β在免疫调节中的作用属于这种细胞因子及其家族其他成员在发育、体内平衡和组织再生中的更广泛作用。而这一途径的功能会障碍导致先天性缺陷、纤维性疾病、免疫失调和癌症。TGF-β对于大多数成年哺乳动物细胞的影响是从细胞增殖、分化、粘附、运动、新陈代谢、沟通和死亡等方面的。
此外,TGF-β作为一种有效的肿瘤抑制因子,其发挥作用是通过抑制恶性肿瘤前体细胞的增殖和促进其凋亡实现的。通过细胞突变来干扰TGF-β信号通路,不仅将这些细胞转化为成熟的恶性状态,而且允许它们使用TGF-β创造一个免疫抑制肿瘤微环境(TME),并产生额外的基质修饰剂,促进肿瘤的进展和转移(Battle,
Eduard. Transforming Growth Factor-β
Signaling in Immunity and Cancer.[J], Immunity,50(4):924-940.)。
PD-L1(Programmed cell death 1 ligand 1,细胞程序性死亡配体1)也称为表面抗原分化簇274(cluster of differentiation 274,CD274)或 B7同源体1(B7 homolog 1,B7-H1),是大小为40kDa 的跨膜蛋白,是PD-1(Programmed Cell
Death Protein 1,细胞程序性死亡蛋白)的2个配体之一。在小鼠上,PD-L1广泛表达于心、肺、胸腺、脾、肾等多种器官上,以及几乎所有的小鼠肿瘤细胞系,并在多种人类肿瘤细胞上高表达。PD-L1与PD-1结合后可以传导免疫抑制性信号、降低T细胞的增生。
现有的肿瘤治疗中,PD-1/PD-L1免疫疗法,是目前除了常见的治疗手段如手术、放化疗和靶向药物治疗等之外的最新的治疗方法。
但是在单独使用PD-1/PD-L1免疫疗法,在癌症的治疗过程中,某些肿瘤细胞仍然会逃离,其有效率较低,并且在有些癌症的治疗过程中也会产生PD-1/PD-L1疗法的抗药性。
使用靶向PD-L1和TGF-β的双功能融合蛋白,用于治疗晚期实体瘤,可以防止TGF-β和PD-L1介导的信号传导,并增加自然杀伤(NK)细胞和细胞毒性T淋巴细胞(CTL)活性,能够有效地抑制易感肿瘤细胞中的肿瘤细胞增殖。
现有的靶向PD-L1和TGF-β的双功能融合蛋白,在大规模工业化生产过程中,仍然存在性状不稳定、或表达量不高的问题。
为了克服现有技术的不足,一方面,本发明提供了一种同时靶向PD-L1和TGF-β的双功能融合蛋白,保留了PD-L1抗体的功能,即提高T细胞免疫应答及部分ADCC效应功能,且能够与三种TGFβ亚型结合;
