Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of antibodies, in particular to a trispecific antibody, its preparation method and use.
  • Anti-PD-1/PD-L1 monoclonal antibodies were the first cancer immunotherapy to gain widespread use. Subsequently, bispecific antibodies appeared in people's field of vision as cancer immunotherapy. One end of these antibodies can bind to the antigen on the surface of cancer cells, and the other end can bind to CD3 on the surface of T cells, recruiting and activating T cells to kill cancer cells (such as Amgen's Blinatumomab).
  • Blinatumomab is a bispecific antibody that simultaneously targets the CD19 antigen on the surface of cancer cells and the CD3 receptor on the surface of T cells. and double the lifetime. Such bispecific antibodies can effectively activate the anticancer activity of T cells.
  • T cells usually when T cells are activated, not only the CD3-mediated signaling pathway is activated, but also a costimulatory receptor-mediated signaling pathway called CD28 is also activated. This dual activation can ensure that T cells maintain longer anti-tumor activity.
  • Trispecific antibodies enhance the therapeutic efficacy of tumor-directed T cells through T cell receptor co-stimulation.
  • Sanofi Sanofi
  • CD28 has been used as a co-stimulatory receptor in CAR-T therapy.
  • the receptors expressed by certain CAR-T cells contain costimulatory protein domains of CD3 and CD28.
  • Trispecific antibodies offer a third way forward for anticancer immunotherapy. Nature, doi: 10.1038/d41586-019-03495-3) stated that multiple myeloma Patients are in constant need of new treatments, as even treatments as effective as CAR-T can only bring temporary relief to most patients. Trispecific antibodies may provide a flexible platform to deliver precise combinations of immunomodulatory signals according to the tumor microenvironment, making them safer and more effective than combination therapy consisting of three monospecific antibodies.
  • Numab disclosed its trispecific antibody design method in US20180355024A1, which is characterized by multiple ScFv fragments and Fv.
  • Xencor disclosed its trispecific antibody design method in US20190352416A1, which is characterized by the use of heavy chain heterodimerization technology and ScFv fragments.
  • the three HIV-binding fragments are derived from three natural antibodies, and each natural antibody is potent. Neutralizes many HIV strains.
  • Using trispecific antibodies to treat cancer will be a very important conceptual breakthrough. Since the trispecific antibody is a flexible carrier that can specifically deliver the combination of immunomodulatory signals in the tumor microenvironment, it may be safer and more effective than the combination of multiple specific immunomodulatory mAbs. Therefore, this combination strategy is expected to improve the precision and efficacy of current immunotherapy and further expand the scope of application of immunotherapy.

Description

三特异性抗体、其制备方法和用途 技术领域
本发明涉及抗体领域,具体地,涉及一种三特异性抗体、其制备方法和用途。
背景技术
抗PD-1/PD-L1单克隆抗体是最早获得广泛使用的癌症免疫疗法。随后,双特异性抗体作为癌症免疫疗法出现在人们的视野里,这些抗体的一端可以与癌细胞表面的抗原结合,另一端与T细胞表面的CD3结合,招募并激活T细胞杀伤癌细胞(例如安进公司的Blinatumomab)。Blinatumomab是一款同时靶向癌细胞表面的CD19抗原和T细胞表面CD3受体的双特异性抗体,它在治疗晚期B细胞急性淋巴细胞白血病(B-ALL)患者时,能够将患者的缓解率和生存期翻倍。这类双特异性抗体能够有效激活T细胞的抗癌活性。
然而,通常T细胞被激活时,不但CD3介导的信号通路被激活,一种称为CD28的共刺激受体介导的信号通路也被激活。这种双重激活能够保证T细胞维持更长久的抗肿瘤活性。近日在Nature Cancer杂志上发表的一项研究中(参考文献:Wu et al.,(2019).Trispecific antibodies enhance the therapeutic efficacy of tumor-directed T cells through T cell receptor co-stimulation.Nature Cancer,https://doi.org/10.1038/s 43018-019-0004-z),赛诺菲(Sanofi)公司的研发团队开发出一款三特异性抗体,它不但能够与肿瘤相关抗原和T细胞CD3相结合,还能够与T细胞表面的CD28相结合,从而增强T细胞的抗癌活性。激活CD28受体能够刺激Bcl-xL蛋白的表达,Bcl-xL可以防止T细胞凋亡,从而延长T细胞的活性。CD28作为共刺激受体已经在CAR-T疗法中得到应用。某些CAR-T细胞表达的受体包含着CD3和CD28的共刺激蛋白域。在体外试验中,与已经获得批准的抗CD38单克隆抗体Daratumumab相比,三特异性抗体裂解的癌细胞比例提高了3-4倍。而且在小鼠的多发性骨髓瘤模型中,这款三特异性抗体也能够剂量依赖性缩小移植到小鼠体内肿瘤的大小。
研究人员仍然需要检验这一创新抗体的安全性,刺激T细胞活性的癌症免疫疗法的常见副作用是细胞因子释放综合征,这是由于T细胞被过度激活而造成的。在非人灵长类模型中,这款三特异性疗法表现出可控的安全性,不过它的安全性需要在人体和MM(多发性骨髓瘤)患者中得到验证。
在《Nature》发表的评论(参考文献:Garfall and June.(2019).Trispecific antibodies  offer a third way forward for anticancer immunotherapy.Nature,doi:10.1038/d41586-019-03495-3)表示,多发性骨髓瘤患者一直需要新的治疗手段,因为即使是像CAR-T这样有效的治疗手段,也只能给大多数患者带来暂时的缓解。三特异性抗体可能提供一种灵活的平台,根据肿瘤的微环境递送精准的免疫调节信号组合,从而比由三种单特异性抗体构成的组合疗法更为安全和有效。
此外,Numab在US20180355024A1中公开了其三特异性抗体的设计方法,其特点是由多个ScFv片段和Fv组成。Xencor公司在US20190352416A1中公开了其三特异性抗体的设计方法,其特点是使用了重链异源二聚化技术和ScFv片段。
除了上述产品和涉足公司外,另外还有一些早期研究曾发表在国际知名期刊上。在2017年,一项发表在《Science》期刊上的研究(参考文献:Liang Xu et al.Trispecific broadly neutralizing HIV antibodies mediate potent SHIV protection in macaques.Science,Published online:20 Sep 2017,doi:10.1126/science.aan8630.)显示,科学家们已在实验室开发出一种三特异性抗体,可以让猴子免受两种人猴嵌合免疫缺陷病毒(SHIV)菌株的感染。据介绍,这种三特异性抗体将广泛中和HIV抗体VRC01、PGDM1400和10E8v4的独特结构结合在一起,三种HIV结合片段源自于三种天然的抗体,每种天然的抗体都强效地中和很多HIV毒株。使用三特异性抗体治疗癌症将是非常重要的概念性突破。由于三特异性抗体是一个灵活的载体,可以在肿瘤微环境中特异性地传递免疫调节信号组合,这可能比多个特异性免疫调节单抗的组合更安全有效。因此,这种组合策略有望提高目前免疫疗法的精准性和疗效,并进一步扩大免疫疗法的适用范围。三特异性抗体能够同时结合三种不同靶标,有望为开发针对HIV感染、其他的传染病、自身免疫疾病和癌症的治疗方法提供有力基础。
因此,本领域需要开发新型有效的三特异性抗体。

具体实施方式
本发明人经过广泛而深入地研究,经过大量的筛选,首次成功获得一种结构新颖的抗PD-1、HER-2和LAG-3的六价三特异性抗体。本发明的六价三特异性抗体为二个单体形成的二聚体,其中,每个单体包含重链、第一轻链和第二轻链。具体地,以天然抗体的结构为基础,设计并优化了第一轻链以及重链的结构,使在本发明三特异性 抗体在保留抗PD-1、HER-2和LAG-3三特异性的同时,具有与单抗相似甚至更优的生物学活性和理化性质。在此基础上完成了本发明。
术语
本发明中,术语“抗体(Antibody,缩写Ab)”和“免疫球蛋白G(Immunoglobulin G,缩写IgG)”是有相同结构特征的异四聚糖蛋白,其由两条相同的轻链(L)和两条相同的重链(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(isotype)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),其后是恒定区,重链恒定区由三个结构域CH1、CH2、以及CH3构成。每条轻链的一端有可变区(VL),另一端有恒定区,轻链恒定区包括一个结构域CL;轻链的恒定区与重链恒定区的CH1结构域配对,轻链的可变区与重链的可变区配对。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,例如参与抗体依赖的细胞介导的细胞毒性作用(ADCC,antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity)等。重链恒定区包括IgG1、IgG2、IgG3、IgG4亚型;轻链恒定区包括κ(Kappa)或λ(Lambda)。抗体的重链和轻链通过重链的CH1结构域和轻链的CL结构域之间的二硫键共价连接在一起,抗体的两条重链通过铰链区之间形成的多肽间二硫键共价连接在一起。
本发明中,术语“三特异性抗体(或三抗)”是指能同时特异性结合三种抗原(靶点)或三种表位的抗体分子。根据对称性,三特异性抗体可以分为结构对称的和不对称的分子。根据结合位点的多少,三特异性抗体可以分为三价、四价和多价分子。
本发明中,术语“单克隆抗体(单抗)”指从一类基本均一的群体获得的抗体,即该群体中包含的单个抗体是相同的,除少数可能存在的天然发生的突变外。单克隆抗体高特异性地针对单个抗原位点。而且,与常规多克隆抗体制剂(通常是具有针对不同抗原决定簇的不同抗体的混合物)不同,各单克隆抗体是针对抗原上的单个决定簇。除了它们的特异性外,单克隆抗体的好处还在于它们可以通过杂交瘤培养来合成,不会被其它免疫球蛋白污染。修饰语“单克隆”表示了抗体的特性,是从基本均一的抗体群中获得的,这不应被解释成需要用任何特殊方法来生产抗体。
本发明中,术语“人源化”是指其CDR来源于非人物种(优选小鼠)抗体,抗体分子中残余的部分(包括框架区和恒定区)来源于人抗体。此外,框架区残基可被改变以维持结合亲和性。
本发明中,术语“Fab”和“Fc”是指木瓜蛋白酶可将抗体裂解为两个完全相同的Fab段和一个Fc段。Fab段由抗体的重链的VH和CH1以及轻链的VL和CL结构域组 成。Fc段即可结晶片段(fragment crystallizable,Fc),由抗体的CH2和CH3结构域组成。Fc段无抗原结合活性,是抗体与效应分子或细胞相互作用的部位。
本发明中,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。它集中于重链可变区和轻链可变区中称为互补决定区(complementarity-determining region,CDR)或超变区中的三个片段中。可变区中较保守的部分称为框架区(frame region,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β-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β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))。
如本文所用,术语“框架区”(FR)指插入CDR间的氨基酸序列,即指在单一物种中不同的免疫球蛋白间相对保守的免疫球蛋白的轻链和重链可变区的那些部分。免疫球蛋白的轻链和重链各具有四个FR,分别称为FR1-L、FR2-L、FR3-L、FR4-L和FR1-H、FR2-H、FR3-H、FR4-H。相应地,轻链可变结构域可因此称作(FR1-L)-(CDR1-L)-(FR2-L)-(CDR2-L)-(FR3-L)-(CDR3-L)-(FR4-L)且重链可变结构域可因此表示为(FR1-H)-(CDR1-H)-(FR2-H)-(CDR2-H)-(FR3-H)-(CDR3-H)-(FR4-H)。优选地,本发明的FR是人抗体FR或其衍生物,所述人抗体FR的衍生物与天然存在的人抗体FR基本相同,即序列同一性达到85%、90%、95%、96%、97%、98%或99%。
获知CDR的氨基酸序列,本领域的技术人员可轻易确定框架区FR1-L、FR2-L、FR3-L、FR4-L和/或FR1-H、FR2-H、FR3-H、FR4-H。
如本文所用,术语“人框架区”是与天然存在的人抗体的框架区基本相同的(约85%或更多,具体地90%、95%、97%、99%或100%)框架区。
如本文所用,术语“接头”或“肽接头”或是指插入免疫球蛋白结构域中为轻链和重链的结构域提供足够的可动性以折叠成交换双重可变区免疫球蛋白的一个或多个氨基酸残基。在本发明中,优选的接头是指接头L1、L2和L3,其中,L1连接第一抗体的重链可变区与第二抗体的重链可变区,L2连接第二抗体的重链可变区与第三抗体的重链可变区,L3连接第一抗体的轻链可变区与第二抗体的轻链可变区。
合适的接头实例包括单甘氨酸(Gly)、或丝氨酸(Ser)残基,连接子中氨基酸残基的标识和序列可随着接头中需要实现的次级结构要素的类型而变化。

在本发明中,药物-接头可以用于在一个简单步骤中形成ADC。在其它实施方式中,双功能连接物化合物可以用于在两步或多步方法中形成ADC。例如,半胱氨酸残 基在第一步骤中与接头的反应活性部分反应,并且在随后的步骤中,接头上的功能性基团与药物反应,从而形成ADC。
通常,选择接头上功能性基团,以利于特异性地与药物部分上的合适的反应活性基团进行反应。作为非限制性的例子,基于叠氮化合物的部分可以用于特异性地与药物部分上的反应性炔基基团反应。药物通过叠氮和炔基之间的1,3-偶极环加成,从而共价结合于接头。其它的有用的功能性基团包括,例如酮类和醛类(适合与酰肼类和烷氧基胺反应),膦(适合与叠氮反应);异氰酸酯和异硫氰酸酯(适合与胺类和醇类反应);和活化的酯类,例如N-羟基琥珀酰亚胺酯(适合与胺类和醇类反应)。这些和其它的连接策略,例如在《生物偶联技术》,第二版(Elsevier)中所描述的,是本领域技术人员所熟知的。本领域技术人员能够理解,对于药物部分和接头的选择性反应,当选择了一个互补对的反应活性功能基团时,该互补对的每一个成员既可以用于接头,也可以用于药物。
本发明还提供了制备ADC的方法,可进一步地包括:将抗体与药物-接头化合物,在足以形成抗体偶联物(ADC)的条件下进行结合。
在某些实施方式中,本发明方法包括:在足以形成抗体-接头偶联物的条件下,将抗体与双功能接头化合物进行结合。在这些实施方式中,本发明方法还进一步地包括:在足以将药物部分通过接头共价连接到抗体的条件下,将抗体接头偶联物与药物部分进行结合。

下面结合具体实施例,进一步陈述本发明。应理解,这些实施例仅用于说明本发明而不用于限制本发明的范围。下列实施例中未注明详细条件的实验方法,通常按照常规条件如Sambrook等人,分子克隆:实验室手册(New York:Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press,1989)中所述的条件,或按照制造厂商所建议的条件。除非另外说明,否则百分比和份数按重量计算。
实施例中使用的蛋白表达和纯化方法说明如下:将目的基因构建到表达载体pcDNA3.4中,利用PEI(Polyethylenimine)将构建好的表达载体或表达载体的组合转入FreeStyle TM 293-F Cells细胞(后文简称HEK293F,购自Thermo Fisher Scientific)中以表达抗体或重组蛋白,HEK293F细胞在Free Style 293 Expression Medium(购自Thermo Fisher Scientific)中培养5天后收取细胞上清,然后用Protein A亲和层析纯化抗体。
以下实施例中使用的ELISA检测方法说明如下:用相应的重组蛋白包被微孔板,用含有1%牛血清白蛋白的PBST(PBST为含0.05%Tween-20的磷酸盐缓冲液)封闭微孔板。将待测抗体进行梯度稀释,然后转移到上述包被重组蛋白的微孔板中,室温孵育半小时后洗板;加入适当稀释的HRP(Horseradish Peroxidase)标记的羊抗人抗体(Fc specific,购自Sigma),室温孵育半小时后洗板;每孔加入100μl以TMB(3,3′,5,5′-Tetramethylbenzidine)为底物的显色液,室温孵育1~5min;加50μl终止液(2M H 2SO 4)终止反应;酶标仪(SpectraMax 190)读取OD450,用GraphPad Prism7进行作图和数据分析,并计算EC50。
以下实施例中使用的理化性质检测方法说明如下:
HPLC-SEC
抗体是高分子量蛋白质,具有高度复杂的二级和三级结构。由于翻译后修饰、聚集和降解等变化,抗体在生物化学和生物物理特性方面是异质的。当通过分离技术分析三特异性抗体时,通常会观察到变体、聚集体和降解片段,它们的存在可能会损害安全性和有效性。在生产和存储抗体的过程中容易出现聚集体、降解片段和不完整组装的分子。本发明使用高效液相色谱-尺寸排阻色谱(High-performance liquid chromatography-size exclusion chromatography,HPLC-SEC)检测样品中上述杂质的含量。聚集体的分子量要大于单体,因此相应峰的保留时间较短;降解片段或不完整组装分子的分子量要小于单体,因此相应峰的保留时间较长。HPLC-SEC所用色谱仪为Dionex Ultimate 3000;流动相配制方法如下:取适量20mM磷酸二氢钠母液,用20mM磷酸氢二钠调节PH至6.8±0.1;进样量:20μg;色谱柱为TSK G3000SWXL,规格为 7.8×300mm 5μm;流速0.5ml/min,洗脱时间30min;柱温25℃,样品室温度10℃;检测波长214nm。
HPLC-IEC
许多翻译后修饰(例如N糖基化、C末端赖氨酸残基修饰、N末端谷氨酰胺或谷氨酸环化、天冬酰胺脱酰胺化、天冬氨酸异构化和氨基酸残基氧化等)会直接或间接地引起抗体表面电荷的改变,导致电荷异质性的产生。基于所带电荷可对电荷变体进行分离和分析,常用的分析方法有阳离子交换色谱法(cation exchange chromatography,CEX)和阴离子交换色谱法(anionexchange chromatography,AEX)。当通过基于色谱法的方法分析时,酸性种类(acidic species)和碱性种类(basic species)基于它们相对于主峰(main peak)的保留时间来定义。酸性种类是早于CEX的主峰或晚于AEX的主峰洗脱出来的变体,而碱性种类是晚于CEX的主峰或早于AEX的主峰洗脱出来的变体。酸性种类和碱性种类所对应的峰分别称作酸性峰和碱性峰。在生产和存储抗体的过程中容易产生电荷变体。在此使用高效液相色谱-离子交换色谱(High-performance liquid chromatography-ionexchange chromatography,HPLC-IEC)分析样品的电荷异质性。HPLC-IEC所用色谱仪为Dionex Ultimate 3000;流动相A:20mM PB pH6.3,流动相B:20mM PB+200mM NaCl pH6.3,两种流动相混合的比例按照预先设置的程序随时间而改变,流速1.0ml/min;色谱柱:Thermo PropacTM WCX-10;柱温30℃,样品室温度10℃;进样量:20μg;检测波长:214nm。
CE-SDS
本发明使用CE-SDS(Capillary Electrophoresis-Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate)分析样品中降解片段或不完整组装的分子的含量。CE分为非还原和还原两种类型,用于前者的样品在变性时不需要用还原剂DTT将分子内的二硫键破坏,而用于后者的样品在变性时需要用还原剂DTT将分子内的二硫键破坏。非还原和还原CE-SDS分别记作NR-CE-SDS和R-CE-SDS。所用Maurice CE-SDS分析系统购自ProteinSimple,配备UV 214nm检测器。

在RPMI 1640中加入以下添加剂:10%胎牛血清;1%MEM Non-Essential Amino Acids Solution;1%Sodium Pyruvate;1%HEPES;1‰2-Mercaptoethanol;1%Penicillin-Streptomycin;1%GlutaMAX(上述培养基和添加剂购自Thermo Fisher Scientific)。用上述RPMI 1640完全培养基将新鲜分离的人外周血单个核细胞(Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cell,PBMC。PBMC购自Allcells,货号:PB005-C)洗涤并重悬,加入一定量的超抗原金黄色葡萄球菌肠毒素B(staphylococcal enterotoxin B,SEB)。SEB为实验室内部制备,序列来自Uniprot(Entry:P01552),使用大肠杆菌表达,用Ni-NTA亲和层析法纯化。将PBMC细胞悬液接种到圆底96孔细胞培养板中,每孔150μl悬液和20 万个细胞;在上述96孔板中加入50μl梯度稀释的相关抗体;将96孔板置于37℃细胞培养箱中孵育4天。从96孔板中取适量细胞培养上清。用双抗体夹心法(sandwich ELISA)检测上清中的IL-2(相关检测用的配对抗体购自BD Biosciences)。用酶标仪(SpectraMax 190)读取OD450,用GraphPad Prism7进行数据分析、作图并计算EC 50
表4.本发明的三特异性抗体的功能活性参数
抗体 EC 50(nM) Top
609-IgG4 0.04091 5363
134-IgG4 0.8398 3369
609-302-(44CC)-134-IgG4 0.3217 10281
609-302-(105CC)-134-IgG4 0.1834 8795
如图6和表4所示,609-IgG4比134-IgG4表现出更小的EC 50和更高的Top(高平台),表明609-IgG4功能活性比134-IgG4高。609-302-(44CC)-134-IgG4和609-302-(105CC)-134-IgG4展现出相近的EC 50和Top,说明这两种三特异性抗体的功能活性相当。与609-IgG4相比,609-302-(44CC)-134-IgG4和609-302-(105CC)-134-IgG4展现出更高的Top,大致在抗体浓度大于1nM时(即Log值大于0时),两种三特异性抗体刺激PBMC分泌IL-2的能力明显强于单克隆抗体609-IgG4和134-IgG4。
