  • NAFLD non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
  • Angiopoietin-like protein 3 (ANGPTL3), also known as angiopoietin-5, is a member of the ANGPTL protein family. Studies have found that ANGPTL3 can be cleaved at Arg221 to Ala222 and Arg224 to Thr225, resulting in an N-terminal coiled-coil domain (CCD) and a C-terminal fibrinogen-like domain (FLD) ). Its N-terminal fragment can reversibly inhibit the catalytic activity of LPL, leading to an increase in plasma TG levels; the C-terminal fragment can bind to integrin-binding ⁇ v ⁇ 3 receptors and participate in angiogenesis.
  • CCD N-terminal coiled-coil domain
  • FLD C-terminal fibrinogen-like domain
  • ANGPTL3 is mainly expressed in the liver and rarely expressed in other tissues and organs. More and more evidence shows that ANGPTL3 is related to most lipid metabolism-related diseases, especially hyperlipidemia, coronary heart disease and atherosclerosis very close. Recent studies have shown that ANGPTL3 is highly expressed in the liver of NAFLD patients, and the content of ANGPTL3 in serum is also higher than that of healthy people. Therefore, the levels of TG and LDL-C in plasma can be reduced by inhibiting ANGPTL3, thereby treating NAFLD and atherosclerosis.

Description

抗人血管生成素3纳米抗体及其应用 Anti-human angiopoietin 3 nanobody and application thereof 技术领域technical field
本发明属生物制药技术领域,涉及特异性结合人ANGPTL3的纳米抗体;具体涉及一种抗人ANGPTL3纳米抗体和人免疫球蛋白IgG1 Fc片段融合蛋白(anti-hANGPTL3 VHH-Fc)的制备;以及所述纳米抗体在制备预防或治疗非酒精性脂肪肝和动脉粥样硬化的ANGPTL3抑制剂中的用途。The invention belongs to the technical field of biopharmaceuticals, and relates to a nanobody specifically binding to human ANGPTL3; in particular to a preparation of an anti-human ANGPTL3 nanobody and a human immunoglobulin IgG1 Fc fragment fusion protein (anti-hANGPTL3 VHH-Fc); and the Use of the nanobody in the preparation of an ANGPTL3 inhibitor for preventing or treating non-alcoholic fatty liver and atherosclerosis.
背景技术Background technique
随着经济增长,生活习惯改变,非酒精性脂肪肝(NAFLD)已成为全球代谢性疾病和肝病领域的新挑战。最新流行病学研究表明,全球NAFLD的患病率高达25%,特别是发展中国家,其发病率更是快速增长。高血脂症表现为血浆脂质如胆固醇和低密度脂蛋白胆固醇的异常增高,当机体因不健康饮食,基因缺陷或是其他代谢疾病导致高血脂症时,异常的脂质会在肝脏堆积进而导致非酒精性脂肪肝。同时,异常的脂质代谢特别是低密度脂蛋白胆固醇会导致血管内膜粥样化或纤维斑块形成,最终导致血管腔壁狭窄。因此研究NAFLD和动脉粥样硬化的新治疗制剂,具有十分重要的意义。With economic growth and changes in living habits, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has become a new challenge in the field of global metabolic diseases and liver diseases. The latest epidemiological studies show that the global prevalence of NAFLD is as high as 25%, especially in developing countries, where the incidence is increasing rapidly. Hyperlipidemia is manifested as an abnormal increase in plasma lipids such as cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. When the body causes hyperlipidemia due to unhealthy diet, genetic defects or other metabolic diseases, abnormal lipids will accumulate in the liver and cause abnormal Alcoholic fatty liver. At the same time, abnormal lipid metabolism, especially low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, can lead to atherosclerosis or fibrous plaque formation in the vascular intima, eventually leading to stenosis of the vascular wall. Therefore, it is of great significance to study new therapeutic agents for NAFLD and atherosclerosis.
血管生成素样蛋白3(Angiopoietin-like protein 3,ANGPTL3),又称血管生成素-5,是ANGPTL蛋白家族中的一员。研究发现ANGPTL3可在Arg221到Ala222和Arg224到Thr225两个位点被裂解,产生一个N端螺旋结构域(coiled-coil domain,CCD)和一个C端纤维蛋白原样结构域(fibrinogen-like domain,FLD)。其N端片段能够可逆的抑制LPL催化活性,导致血浆TG水平升高;C端片段能与整合素结合αvβ3受体结合可参与血管生成。ANGPTL3主要在肝脏中表达,在其他组织和器官中很少表达,越来越多的证据表明,ANGPTL3与大多数脂代谢相关疾病,尤其是高脂血症、冠心病和动脉粥样硬化的关系十分密切。近期研究表明,NAFLD患者的肝脏中ANGPTL3高表达,血清中ANGPTL3的含量也相较于健康人升高。因此,通过抑制ANGPTL3可降低血浆中TG和LDL-C的水平,进而治疗NAFLD和动脉粥样硬化。目前关于ANGPTL3的抑制剂主要有单克隆抗体、siRNA和反义寡核苷酸等,均发挥了很好的降低血浆中TG和LDL-C作用。关于ANGPTL3抗体类药物的开发主要集中在鼠源传统抗体,还有更多其他形式的单克隆抗体有待开发。Angiopoietin-like protein 3 (ANGPTL3), also known as angiopoietin-5, is a member of the ANGPTL protein family. Studies have found that ANGPTL3 can be cleaved at Arg221 to Ala222 and Arg224 to Thr225, resulting in an N-terminal coiled-coil domain (CCD) and a C-terminal fibrinogen-like domain (FLD) ). Its N-terminal fragment can reversibly inhibit the catalytic activity of LPL, leading to an increase in plasma TG levels; the C-terminal fragment can bind to integrin-binding αvβ3 receptors and participate in angiogenesis. ANGPTL3 is mainly expressed in the liver and rarely expressed in other tissues and organs. More and more evidence shows that ANGPTL3 is related to most lipid metabolism-related diseases, especially hyperlipidemia, coronary heart disease and atherosclerosis very close. Recent studies have shown that ANGPTL3 is highly expressed in the liver of NAFLD patients, and the content of ANGPTL3 in serum is also higher than that of healthy people. Therefore, the levels of TG and LDL-C in plasma can be reduced by inhibiting ANGPTL3, thereby treating NAFLD and atherosclerosis. At present, the inhibitors of ANGPTL3 mainly include monoclonal antibodies, siRNA and antisense oligonucleotides, etc., all of which have played a very good role in reducing TG and LDL-C in plasma. The development of ANGPTL3 antibody drugs is mainly focused on mouse-derived traditional antibodies, and there are more other forms of monoclonal antibodies to be developed.
自1993年Hamers等在骆驼属动物血清中发现天然缺失轻链的重链抗体,该种抗体只包含一个重链可变区(VHH)和两个CH2与CH3区,保留了完整的抗原结合部位,后经克隆表达获得的VHH单域抗体因其直径2.5nm,高度4nm,也被称为纳米抗体(nanobody,Nb)。纳米抗体的大小仅为普通IgG的1/10,其表面有大量亲水残基,内部存在二硫键,理化性质稳定。相对于鼠源抗体,纳米抗体对热和pH有较强的抵抗力,且具有易于克隆和表达,溶解性能好,亲和力高及容易标记等优点。此外,通过序列同源性分析发现纳米抗体的VHH胚系基因序列与人VH3具有高度同源,但其CDR1和CDR3 区比人稍长且CDR3区在三级结构中向外凸出,故推测纳米抗体与鼠源抗体相比有更高的与抗原结合的特异性和亲和力。然而,纳米抗体的小体积虽为其治疗功能提供较多优势,但具有小分子蛋白在体内容易被清除的缺点。为延长其半衰期,可将纳米抗体的C末端直接或通过连接肽与免疫球蛋白IgG Fc片段的N端相连。Since 1993, Hamers et al. discovered heavy chain antibodies naturally lacking light chains in the serum of camelids. This antibody only contains a heavy chain variable region (VHH) and two CH2 and CH3 regions, retaining a complete antigen-binding site , the VHH single domain antibody obtained by cloning and expression is also called nanobody (nanobody, Nb) because of its diameter of 2.5nm and height of 4nm. The size of nanobodies is only 1/10 of that of ordinary IgG. There are a large number of hydrophilic residues on the surface, disulfide bonds inside, and stable physical and chemical properties. Compared with murine antibodies, nanobodies have stronger resistance to heat and pH, and have the advantages of easy cloning and expression, good solubility, high affinity and easy labeling. In addition, through sequence homology analysis, it was found that the VHH germline gene sequence of Nanobodies is highly homologous to human VH3, but its CDR1 and CDR3 regions are slightly longer than those of humans, and the CDR3 region protrudes outward in the tertiary structure, so it is speculated that Nanobodies have higher specificity and affinity for antigen binding than murine antibodies. However, although the small size of nanobodies provides more advantages for their therapeutic functions, it has the disadvantage that small molecular proteins are easily cleared in vivo. To prolong its half-life, the C-terminus of Nanobodies can be linked directly or via a linker peptide to the N-terminus of an IgG Fc fragment of an immunoglobulin.

如本文所用,术语“含有”或“包括(包含)”可以是开放式、半封闭式和封闭式的。换言之,所述术语也包括“基本上由…构成”、或“由…构成”。As used herein, the term "comprises" or "includes (comprising)" can be open, semi-closed and closed. In other words, the term also includes "consisting essentially of", or "consisting of".
如本文所用,术语“本发明纳米抗体”、“本发明的纳米抗体”、“本发明的抗人ANGPTL3纳米抗体”、“本发明人ANGPTL3纳米抗体”、“抗人ANGPTL3纳米抗体”、“人ANGPTL3纳米抗体”具有相同的含义,可互换使用,均指特异性识别和结合于人ANGPTL3(包括人人ANGPTL3)的纳米抗体。As used herein, the terms "Nanobody of the invention", "Nanobody of the invention", "anti-human ANGPTL3 Nanobody of the invention", "human ANGPTL3 Nanobody of the invention", "anti-human ANGPTL3 Nanobody", "human "ANGPTL3 Nanobody" has the same meaning and can be used interchangeably, both refer to Nanobodies that specifically recognize and bind to human ANGPTL3 (including human ANGPTL3).
如本文所用,术语“抗体”或“免疫球蛋白”是有相同结构特征的约150000道尔顿的异四聚糖蛋白,其由两个相同的轻链(L)和两个相同的重链(H)组成。每条轻链通过一 个共价二硫键与重链相连,而不同免疫球蛋白同种型的重链间的二硫键数目不同。每条重链和轻链也有规则间隔的链内二硫键。每条重链的一端有可变区(VH),其后是多个恒定区。每条轻链的一端有可变区(VL),另一端有恒定区;轻链的恒定区与重链的第一个恒定区相对,轻链的可变区与重链的可变区相对。特殊的氨基酸残基在轻链和重链的可变区之间形成界面。As used herein, the term "antibody" or "immunoglobulin" is a heterotetrameric protein of about 150,000 Daltons with identical structural features, consisting of two identical light (L) chains and two identical heavy chains (H) Composition. Each light chain is linked to a heavy chain by one covalent disulfide bond, while the number of disulfide bonds varies between heavy chains of different immunoglobulin isotypes. Each heavy and light chain also has regularly spaced intrachain disulfide bridges. Each heavy chain has a variable region (VH) at one end followed by constant regions. Each light chain has a variable region (VL) at one end and a constant region at the other end; the constant region of the light chain is opposite the first constant region of the heavy chain, and the variable region of the light chain is opposite the variable region of the heavy chain . Specific amino acid residues form the interface between the variable domains of the light and heavy chains.
如本文所用,术语“单域”、“VHH”、“纳米抗体(nanobody)”、“重链抗体”(single domain antibody,sdAb,或纳米抗体nanobody)具有相同的含义并可互换使用,指克隆抗体重链的可变区,构建仅由一个重链可变区组成的纳米抗体(VHH),它是具有完整功能的最小的抗原结合片段。通常先获得天然缺失轻链和重链恒定区1(CH1)的抗体后,再克隆抗体重链的可变区,构建仅由一个重链可变区组成的纳米抗体(VHH)。As used herein, the terms "single domain", "VHH", "nanobody", "heavy chain antibody" (single domain antibody, sdAb, or nanobody nanobody) have the same meaning and are used interchangeably, referring to Cloning the variable region of the antibody heavy chain to construct a Nanobody (VHH) consisting of only one heavy chain variable region, which is the smallest antigen-binding fragment with full functionality. Usually, after obtaining the antibody that naturally lacks the light chain and heavy chain constant region 1 (CH1), the variable region of the antibody heavy chain is cloned to construct a nanobody (VHH) consisting of only one heavy chain variable region.
如本文所用,术语“可变”表示抗体中可变区的某些部分在序列上有所不同,它形成了各种特定抗体对其特定抗原的结合和特异性。然而,可变性并不均匀地分布在整个抗体可变区中。它集中于轻链和重链可变区中称为互补决定区(CDR)或超变区中的三个片段中。可变区中较保守的部分称为构架区(FR)。天然重链和轻链的可变区中各自包含四个FR区,它们大致上呈b-折叠构型,由形成连接环的三个CDR相连,在某些情况下可形成部分b折叠结构。每条链中的CDR通过FR区紧密地靠在一起并与另一链的CDR一起形成了抗体的抗原结合部位(参见Kabat等,NIH Publ.No.91-3242,卷I,647-669页(1991))。恒定区不直接参与抗体与抗原的结合,但是它们表现出不同的效应功能,例如参与抗体的依赖于抗体的细胞毒性。As used herein, the term "variable" means that certain portions of the variable regions among antibodies differ in sequence, which contribute to the binding and specificity of each particular antibody for its particular antigen. However, the variability is not evenly distributed throughout antibody variable domains. It is concentrated in three segments called complementarity determining regions (CDRs) or hypervariable regions in the light and heavy chain variable regions. The more conserved portions of the variable domains are called the framework regions (FR). The variable domains of native heavy and light chains each contain four FR regions in a roughly b-sheet configuration connected by three CDRs that form connecting loops, which in some cases may form partial b-sheet structures. The CDRs in each chain are in close proximity through the FR regions and together with the CDRs of the other chain form the antigen-binding site of the antibody (see Kabat et al., NIH Publ. No. 91-3242, Vol. I, pp. 647-669 (1991)). The constant regions are not directly involved in the binding of the antibody to the antigen, but they exhibit different effector functions, for example involved in the antibody-dependent cytotoxicity of the antibody.

如本文所用,术语“重链可变区”与“VH”可互换使用。As used herein, the terms "heavy chain variable region" and "VH" are used interchangeably.
如本文所用,术语“可变区”与“互补决定区(complementarity determining region,CDR)”、“决定簇互补区”可互换使用。As used herein, the term "variable region" is used interchangeably with "complementarity determining region (CDR)", "determinant complementarity region".

脂蛋白脂肪酶(LPL)是脂代谢过程中重要的酶,可水解甘油三脂,而ANGPTL3的N-端螺旋卷曲区可其抑制活性。按照如上实施例4所述,C44-Fc对人和鼠全长的ANGPTL3,鼠ANGPTL3的N-端螺旋卷曲区的亲和力显著高于C27-Fc,故选用C44-Fc进行抑制ANGPTL3诱导的LPL活性下降的无细胞实验。使用脂蛋白脂肪酶荧光测定试剂盒(Biovision,美国),用四种ANGPTL3蛋白,测定了C44-Fc对四种ANGPTL3活性的抑制,包括:hANGPTL3(17-170)-Fc、hANGPTL3(17-460)-His、mANGPTL3(17-455)-His和mANGPTL3(17-206)-His。Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is an important enzyme in the process of lipid metabolism, which can hydrolyze triglycerides, and the N-terminal helical coil region of ANGPTL3 can inhibit its activity. According to the above example 4, the affinity of C44-Fc to human and mouse full-length ANGPTL3, and the N-terminal helical coil region of mouse ANGPTL3 is significantly higher than that of C27-Fc, so C44-Fc is selected to inhibit the LPL activity induced by ANGPTL3 Dropped cell-free experiments. Using a lipoprotein lipase fluorescence assay kit (Biovision, USA), four ANGPTL3 proteins were used to measure the inhibition of C44-Fc on four ANGPTL3 activities, including: hANGPTL3(17-170)-Fc, hANGPTL3(17-460 )-His, mANGPTL3(17-455)-His and mANGPTL3(17-206)-His.
简言之,将0.2nM牛LPL、0.1μM人ApoC II,以及0.2mg/mL BSA在PBS中预混合,之后加入梯度稀释的ANGPTL3重组蛋白或ANGPTL3重组蛋白和梯度稀释的C44-Fc融合蛋白,在室温下孵育10分钟后用试剂盒检测,用BioTek多功能酶标仪于482nm/515nm(激发/发射)测量荧光强度,荧光强度与LPL活性成正比。如图2和表3所示,C44-Fc的IC 50在1.6nM-5.4nM之间,C27-Fc的亲和力在0.01811nM-8.202nM之间。 Briefly, 0.2 nM bovine LPL, 0.1 μM human ApoC II, and 0.2 mg/mL BSA were premixed in PBS, and then serially diluted ANGPTL3 recombinant protein or ANGPTL3 recombinant protein and serially diluted C44-Fc fusion protein were added, After incubating at room temperature for 10 minutes, it was detected with the kit, and the fluorescence intensity was measured at 482nm/515nm (excitation/emission) with a BioTek multifunctional microplate reader, and the fluorescence intensity was proportional to the LPL activity. As shown in Figure 2 and Table 3, the IC 50 of C44-Fc is between 1.6nM-5.4nM, and the affinity of C27-Fc is between 0.01811nM-8.202nM.
