Definitions

  • the present disclosure belongs to the field of biotechnology, and more specifically, the present disclosure relates to an anti-IL23 antibody and its fusion protein and applications.
  • IL-23 (also known as IL23) is mainly produced by activated dendritic cells, macrophages and monocytes, and is a member of the IL-12 heterodimer cytokine family, produced by p19 (also known as IL23 p19 subunit) and p40 (also known as IL23 p40 subunit) two subunits, wherein the p40 subunit is a subunit shared with IL-12 (J Immunol.2018Sep 15; 201(6):1605-1613. ).
  • IL-23 exerts biological functions by interacting with its receptors and activating downstream signaling pathways.
  • IL-23 receptor includes two subunits of IL-12 receptor ⁇ 1 and IL-23 receptor (J Immunol.2002 Jun 1; 168(11):5699-708.).
  • IL-23 can promote the differentiation of Th17 cells, play an important role in the proliferation and stability of Th17 cells, and can promote Th17 cells to produce cytokines such as IL-17A, IL-17F and IL-22. These inflammatory factors act on keratinocytes, Causes keratinocyte activation and hyperproliferation.
  • Activated keratinocytes recruit and activate immune cells such as T cells by producing a large number of cytokines, chemokines, and antimicrobial peptides, forming a cascade of immune responses, causing symptoms of psoriasis (Cutis.2018 Mar; 101( 3S): 5-9.).
  • SLE Systemic lupus erythematosus
  • the source is neutrophils and apoptotic cells. Neutrophils release net-like extracellular traps, capture antibacterial proteins, and stimulate pDC to secrete a large amount of type I interferon under the combined action of interferon. Apoptotic cells will release high-mobility proteins and nucleic acids in the nucleus as their own antigens to induce immune cells to produce nucleotide antibodies.
  • the immune complexes of nucleic acids and antibodies interact with receptors on the cell surface to activate TLR signals.
  • IL-12 and 23 are two cytokines known to activate T cell differentiation. After activation, T cells secrete a variety of cytokines. Cytokines such as IL-17 participate in the recruitment of inflammatory cells and cause tissue damage, and cytokines such as IL-21 participate in the co-stimulation of B cells. BAFF and APRIL are activating factors of B cells. They stimulate B cells to mature and secrete antibodies by interacting with receptors on the surface of B cells (Nat Rev Rheumatol. 2016 Nov 22; 12(12):716-730.).
  • TACI is a membrane-bound receptor with an extracellular domain containing two cysteine-rich pseudo-repeats, a transmembrane domain, and CAML (calcium modulator and cyclophilic The cytoplasmic region where protein ligands interact.
  • TACI is associated with a subset of B cells and T cells.
  • the TACI receptor binds to BAFF of the tumor necrosis factor ligand family.
  • BAFF is a B cell activating factor belonging to the TNF family.
  • BAFF is mainly expressed on the surface of the bone marrow cell membrane and exists in the form of a trimer. The BAFF on the surface of the cell membrane will be hydrolyzed by protease to form soluble BAFF and enter the blood circulation system.
  • BAFF Characterized by multimerization up to 60-mers can be formed.
  • BAFF can also interact with another protein of the same family, APRIL, to form a heterologous trimer.
  • APRIL another protein of the same family
  • BAFF receptors there are three BAFF receptors on the surface of B cells, namely BAFF-R, BCMA and TACI. BAFF interacts with these three receptors and participates in the differentiation, maturation, survival and regulation of B cells.
  • APRIL and BAFF have two common receptors, namely BCMA and TACI, and APRIL interacts with these two receptors to participate in the survival and regulation of B cells (Samy, E., et al., Int Rev Immunol, 2017.36: p. 3-19; Kamal, A. and M.
  • BAFF is important for maintaining B cell homeostasis, and overactivation of BAFF signaling leads to the survival of self-reactive B cells and the production of autoantibodies to promote autoimmune responses (Cancro, M.P., D.P.D'Cruz, and M.A. Khamashta, J Clin Invest , 2009.119: p.1066-73).

IL-23(也称IL23)主要由活化的树突状细胞、巨噬细胞及单核细胞等产生,是IL-12异源二聚体细胞因子家族中的一员,由p19(也称IL23 p19亚基)和p40(也称IL23 p40亚基)两个亚基组成,其中p40亚基是与IL-12共同含有的亚基(J Immunol.2018Sep 15;201(6):1605-1613.)。
IL-23通过与其受体相互作用,激活下游信号通路而发挥生物学功能。IL-23受体包括IL-12受体β1和IL-23受体2个亚基(J Immunol.2002 Jun 1;168(11):5699-708.)。IL-23能促进Th17细胞分化,在Th17细胞的增殖与稳定中发挥重要作用,能促进Th17细胞产生IL-17A、IL-17F及IL-22等细胞因子,这些炎症因子作用于角质形成细胞,导致角质形成细胞活化和过度增殖。活化的角质形成细胞通过产生大量细胞因子、趋化因子和抗菌肽等,募集并激活T细胞等免疫细胞,形成免疫应答的级联效应,引起银屑病的症状(Cutis.2018 Mar;101(3S):5-9.)。
系统性红斑狼疮(SLE)是一种免疫反应过度激活引起的自身免疫疾病(Nat Rev Dis Primers.2016 Jun 16;2:16039.)。有多种细胞参与了SLE疾病的发展。源头是中性粒细胞和凋亡的细胞,中性粒细胞释放网状的胞外陷阱,捕获抗菌蛋白,在干扰素的共同作用下刺激pDC分泌大量的I型干扰素。而凋亡的细胞会将核内的高迁移率蛋白和核酸释放出来,作为自身的抗原诱导免疫细胞产生核苷酸抗体,核酸和抗体的免疫复合物与细胞表面的受体作用激活TLR信号,刺激pDC分泌干扰素。干扰素进一步激活mDC产生多种细胞因子,分别激活T细胞和B细胞(Curr Opin Rheumatol.2017 Mar;29(2):178-186.)。其中IL-12和23是两种已知可以激活T细胞分化的细胞因子。T细胞激活后会分泌多种细胞因子,IL-17等细胞因子参与募集炎症细胞并导致组织损伤,IL-21等细胞因子参与B细胞的共刺激。BAFF和APRIL是B细胞的激活因子,它们通过与B细胞表面的受体作用刺激B细胞分化成熟并分泌抗体(Nat Rev Rheumatol.2016 Nov 22;12(12):716-730.)。
TACI是一种膜结合受体,具有包含二个富含半胱氨酸的假性重复片断(cysteine-rich pseudo-repeats)的胞外区、一个跨膜区和与CAML(钙调节剂和亲环蛋白配体)相互作用的胞质区。TACI与B细胞和T细胞的一种亚型相关。TACI受体与肿瘤坏死因子配体家族的BAFF相结合。BAFF是属于TNF家族的一种B细胞 激活因子,BAFF主要在骨髓细胞膜表面表达,以三聚体的形式存在,在细胞膜表面的BAFF会被蛋白酶水解形成可溶性的BAFF进入血液循环系统,可溶性的BAFF具有多聚化的特征,最多可以形成60聚体。另外BAFF也可以跟同家族的另外一个蛋白APRIL作用形成异源的三聚体。目前已知在B细胞表面有三个BAFF的受体,分别为BAFF-R、BCMA和TACI。BAFF与这三个受体作用,参与B细胞的分化成熟、存活和调节。APRIL与BAFF有两个共同的受体,分别为BCMA和TACI,APRIL与这两个受体作用参与B细胞的存活和调节(Samy,E.,et al.,Int Rev Immunol,2017.36:p.3-19;Kamal,A.and M.Khamashta,Autoimmun Rev,2014.13:p.1094-1101)。BAFF对维持B细胞的体内平衡非常重要,BAFF信号通路的过度激活会导致自反应B细胞的存活并产生自身抗体促进自身免疫反应(Cancro,M.P.,D.P.D'Cruz,and M.A.Khamashta,J Clin Invest,2009.119:p.1066-73)。

具体实施方式
术语
为了更容易理解本披露,以下对某些技术和科学术语进行了描述。除非在本文中另有明确定义,本文使用的全部技术和科学术语具有与本领域的普通技术人员通常所理解的相同含义。
说明书和权利要求书中所用的单数形式“一个”、“一种”和“所述”包括复数指代,除非上下文清楚表明并非如此。
除非上下文另外清楚要求,否则在专利说明书和权利要求书中,应将词语“包含”、“具有”、“包括”等理解为“包括但不仅限于”的意义,而不是排他性或穷举性意义。
术语“细胞因子”是由一个细胞群体释放的、作为细胞间介质作用于其它细胞的蛋白质的一般术语。这样的细胞因子的例子包括淋巴因子、单核因子、趋化因子和传统的多肽激素。示例性的细胞因子包括:IL-2、IFN-γ、IL-6、TNFα、IL-17和IL-5。
本披露所述的TACI是一种膜结合受体,野生型人TACI包含两个富含半胱氨酸的假性重复片断(cysteine-rich pseudo-repeats)的胞外区、一个跨膜区和与CAML(钙调节剂和亲环蛋白配体)相互作用的胞质区。野生型人TACI胞外区(第1-165位)参见本披露的SEQ ID NO:51。本披露中的“TACI胞外结构域”与“TACI胞外区”可相互替换。
IL-23(也称IL23)主要由活化的树突状细胞、巨噬细胞及单核细胞等产生,是IL-12异源二聚体细胞因子家族中的一员,由p19(也称IL23 p19亚基)和p40(也称IL23 p40亚基)两个亚基组成,其中p40亚基是与IL-12共同含有的亚基(J Immunol.2018 Sep 15;201(6):1605-1613.)。
术语“和/或”,意指包含“和”与“或”两种含义。例如短语“A、B和/或C”旨在涵 盖以下方面中的每一个:A、B和C;A、B或C;A或C;A或B;B或C;A和C;A和B;B和C;A(单独);B(单独);和C(单独)。
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-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、羧基、氨基和R基团结合的α碳)的化合物,例如高丝氨酸、正亮氨酸、甲硫氨酸亚砜、甲硫氨酸甲基锍。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与氨基酸的一般化学结构不同的结构,但是以与天然存在的氨基酸类似的方式起作用的化学化合物。
术语“氨基酸突变”包括氨基酸取代(也称氨基酸替换)、缺失、插入和修饰。可以进行取代、缺失、插入和修饰的任意组合来实现最终构建体,只要最终构建体拥有期望的特性,例如降低或对Fc受体的结合。氨基酸序列缺失和插入包括在多肽链的氨基端和/或羧基端的缺失和插入。具体的氨基酸突变可以是氨基酸取代。在一个实施方式中,氨基酸突变是非保守性的氨基酸取代,即将一个氨基酸用具有不同结构和/或化学特性的另一种氨基酸替换。氨基酸取代包括由非天然存在的氨基酸或由20种天然氨基酸的衍生物(例如4-羟脯氨酸、3-甲基组氨酸、鸟氨酸、高丝氨酸、5-羟赖氨酸)替换。可以使用本领域中公知的遗传或化学方法生成氨基酸突变。遗传方法可以包括定点诱变、PCR,基因合成等。预计基因工程以外的改变氨基酸侧链基团的方法,如化学修饰也可能是可用的。本文中可使用各种名称来指示同一氨基酸突变。本文中,可采用位置+氨基酸残基的方式表示特定位点的氨基酸残基,例如366W,表示在366位点上的氨基酸残基为W。T366W则表示第366位点上的氨基酸残基由原来的T突变为了W。

一类取代变体涉及取代亲本抗体(例如人源化或人抗体)的一个或多个CDR残基。一般地,经选择用于进一步研究的所得变体相对于亲本抗体会具有某些生物学特性(例如升高的亲和力,降低的免疫原性)的改变(例如改善),和/或会基本上保留亲本抗体的某些生物学特性。一种例示性的取代变体是亲和力成熟的抗体,可以例如使用基于噬菌体展示的亲和力成熟技术(如本文所述的那些技术),便利地产生所述抗体。简言之,将一个或多个CDR残基突变,并将变体抗体在噬菌体上展示,并对其筛选特定的生物学活性(例如结合亲和力)。可以对CDR做出改变(例如取代),例如以改善抗体亲和力。可以对CDR“热点”,即在体细胞成熟过程期间以高频率经历突变的密码子所编码的残基,和/或接触抗原的残基做出此类改变,同时对所得的变体VH或VL测试结合亲和力。在亲和力成熟的一些实施方案中,通过多种方法(例如易错PCR、链改组、或寡核苷酸指导的诱变)的任一种,将多样性引入所选择用于成熟的可变基因中。然后,创建次级文库。 然后,筛选文库以鉴定具有期望的亲和力的任何抗体变体。另一种引入多样性的方法涉及CDR定向的方法,其中将几个CDR残基(例如一次4-6个残基)随机化。可以例如使用丙氨酸扫描诱变或建模来特异性鉴定涉及抗原结合的CDR残基。特别地,经常靶向HCDR3和LCDR3。
在某些实施方案中,取代、插入或缺失可以在一个或多个CDR内发生,只要此类变化不实质性降低抗体结合抗原的能力。例如,可以对CDR做出保守变化(例如保守取代,如本文中提供的),其不实质性降低结合亲和力。此类变化可以例如在CDR中的抗原接触残基外部。在上文提供的变体VH和VL序列的某些实施方案中,每个CDR是未改变的,或者含有不超过1、2或3处氨基酸取代。
一种可用于鉴定抗体中可以作为诱变靶位的残基或区域的方法称作“丙氨酸扫描诱变”。在这种方法中,鉴定一个残基或靶残基组(例如带电荷的残基,诸如Arg、Asp、His、Lys和Glu),并且用中性或带负电荷的氨基酸(例如,Ala或聚丙氨酸)替换以确定该抗体与抗原的相互作用是否受影响。可以在对初始取代显示功能敏感性的氨基酸位置引入进一步的取代。此外,可通过研究抗原-抗体复合物的晶体结构来鉴定抗体与抗原间的接触点。这些接触残基及邻近残基可以作为取代候选物被打靶或消除。可以筛选变体以确定它们是否含有期望的特性。
氨基酸序列插入包括长度范围为1个残基至含有100或更多个残基的多肽的氨基和/或羧基端融合,和单个或多个氨基酸残基的序列内插入。末端插入的例子包括具有N端甲硫氨酰基残基的抗体。抗体分子的其它插入变体包括抗体的N或C端与酶或延长抗体的血清半衰期的多肽的融合物。
Fc区的修饰
在一个方面,本披露的抗IL23抗体或抗IL23抗体融合蛋白的Fc区包含一个或多个氨基酸取代,所述一个或多个氨基酸取代减少其与Fc受体的结合,例如其与Fcγ受体的结合,并且降低或消除效应子功能。天然IgG Fc区,具体地是IgG 1Fc区或IgG 4Fc区,可能导致本披露的融合蛋白靶向表达Fc受体的细胞,而不是表达抗原的细胞。在一些实施方案中,本披露改造的Fc区表现出降低的对Fc受体的结合亲和力和/或降低的效应子功能。在一些实施方案中,改造的Fc区与天然Fc区相比,对Fc受体的结合亲和力下降50%、80%、90%或95%以上。在一些实施方案中,所述的Fc受体是Fcγ受体。在一些实施方案中,所述Fc受体是人Fcγ受体,例如FcγRI、FcγRIIa、FcγRIIB、FcγRIIIa。在一些实施方案中,改造的Fc区与天然Fc区相比,对补体,如C1q的结合亲和力也降低。在一些实施方案中,改造的Fc区与天然Fc区相比,对新生儿Fc受体(FcRn)的结合亲和力不降低。在一些实施例中,改造的Fc区具有降低的效应子功能,所述降低的效应子功能可以包括但不限于以下中的一个或多个:降低的补体依赖性细胞毒性(CDC)、降低的抗体依赖性细胞介导的细胞毒性(ADCC)、降低的抗体依赖性细胞吞噬(ADCP)、减少的细胞因子分泌、减少的免疫复合物介导的抗原呈递细胞的抗原摄取、减少 的与NK细胞的结合、减少的与巨噬细胞的结合、减少的与单核细胞的结合、减少的与多形核细胞的结合、减少的直接信号传导诱导性细胞凋亡、降低的树突细胞成熟或减少的T细胞引发。对于IgG 1Fc区,在238、265、269、270、297、327和329等位置的氨基酸残基取代可降低的效应子功能。在一些实施方案中,所述Fc区是人IgG 1Fc区,并且在234和235位置的氨基酸残基为A,编号依据为EU索引。对于IgG 4Fc区,在228等位置的氨基酸残基取代可降低的效应子功能。
抗IL23抗体或抗IL23抗体融合蛋白可包含与Fc区的两个亚基融合的不同结合域,因此可能导致不期望的同源二聚化。为了提高产率和纯度,可以在本披露的融合蛋白的Fc区中引入促进异源二聚化的修饰将是有利的。在一些实施方式中,本披露的Fc区包含根据杵臼(knob-into-hole,KIH)技术的改造,该方法涉及在第一亚基的界面处引入凸起结构(knob)以及在第二亚基的界面处引入孔结构(hole)。使得所述凸起结构可以定位在孔结构中,促进异源二聚体的形成并抑制同源二聚体的产生。凸起结构是通过用较大侧链(例如酪氨酸或色氨酸)取代来自第一亚基的界面的小氨基酸侧链而构建的。而孔结构是通过用较小的氨基酸侧链(例如丙氨酸或苏氨酸)取代大氨基酸侧链而在第二亚基的界面中创建的。凸起结构和孔结构通过改变编码多肽的核酸来制备,可选的氨基酸取代如下表4所示:
表4.KIH突变组合
Figure PCTCN2022123370-appb-000007
除了杵臼技术外,用于修饰多特异性抗体的重链的CH3结构域以实现异源二聚化的其他技术也是本领域中已知的,例如WO96/27011、WO98/050431、EP1870459、WO2007/110205、WO 007/147901、WO2009/089004、WO2010/129304、WO2011/90754、WO2011/143545、WO2012/058768、WO2013/157954和WO013/096291。
Fc区的C末端可以是以氨基酸残基PGK结束的完整C末端;也可以是缩短的C末端,例如在所述缩短的C末端中已经去除了一个或两个C末端氨基酸残基。在一个优选的方面中,重链的C末端是以PG结束的缩短的C末端。因此,在一些实施方式中,完整抗体的组合物可以包括去除了所有K447残基和/或G446+K447残基的抗体群体。在一些实施方式中,完整抗体的组合物可以包括没有去除K447 残基和/或G446+K447残基的抗体群体。在一些实施方式中,完整抗体的组合物具有带有和不带有K447残基和/或G446+K447残基的抗体混合物的抗体群体。

为了重组产生抗IL23抗体或抗IL23抗体融合蛋白,将编码蛋白的核酸分离并插入一个或更多个载体中,用于在宿主细胞中进一步克隆和/或表达。此类核酸可以使用常规程序容易地分离和测序,或者通过重组方法产生或通过化学合成获得。

测试例10:系统性红斑狼疮动物模型中的体内药效
MRL/lpr小鼠随着周龄的增长,会自发的产生自身免疫疾病的症状,其症状与人类系统性红斑狼疮相似。通过该模型来评价融合蛋白的体内药效。
MRL/lpr小鼠,雌性,购自上海斯莱克实验动物有限责任公司,5只/笼饲养于SPF级环境,温度20-25℃;湿度40-60%。实验前小鼠在实验室环境至少适应一周。待小鼠周龄达到9~10周,尿蛋白和dsDNA IgG值显著高于正常对照小鼠时开始皮下注射给药(RCT-18(8mpk),Hu29-19T(17.6mpk),Hu29-19T(8.8mpk),Hu29-24T(17.6mpk),阴性对照(PBS)),其中RCT-18 8mpk,Hu29-19T 17.6mpk,Hu29-24T 17.6mpk的摩尔浓度相同。每周给药2次(周一和周四分别给药1次),持续给药8周。定期观察小鼠毛发和皮肤状态,对小鼠的皮肤损伤严重程度进行评分,收集尿液和血浆,检测尿蛋白含量。实验结束后取小鼠的肾脏,固定后进行H&E染色,观察各组小鼠肾脏组织肾小球、肾小管病变、炎性细胞浸润,并对肾脏病变程度进行评分。本测试例中尿蛋白检测采用Bradford蛋白浓度测定,检测试剂盒购自碧云天生物技术有限公司。
实验结果见表29、30、31和附图11、12、13所示,实验结果表明,RCT-18没有降低小鼠的尿蛋白水平,Hu29-19T在两个剂量下都能显著的降低小鼠的尿蛋白水平,并且整个实验过程中Hu29-19T组小鼠的尿蛋白水平一直保持和实验开始时相同或更低,完全没有升高的趋势。Hu29-24T也能显著降低小鼠的尿蛋白。小鼠皮肤损伤的评分结果表明,Hu29-19T组小鼠的皮肤损伤评分一直都是最低的,Hu29-24T处于中间水平,RCT-18在这个指标上没有显示出明显的药效。小鼠的肾脏病理学评分结果表明,跟阴性组相比,Hu29-19T两个剂量组显示出了显著的统计学差异。
