  • the present invention also relates to the application of the antibody.
  • Claudins are important members of the tight junction protein family and play an important role in the connection between cells and cells and between cells and the matrix.
  • Claudin18 is encoded by the gene CLDN18. It is a four-transmembrane protein with two extracellular regions. It is widely distributed in tissues such as the stomach, pancreas and lungs. Claudin18 is considered to be a diagnostic marker and therapeutic target (Krause, G., Winkler, L., Mueller, S.L., Haseloff, R.F., Piontek, J., & Blasig, I.E. (2008). Structure and function of claudins. Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA)-Biomembranes, 1778 (3), 631-645.).
  • the Claudin18 family includes two variants, Claudin18.1 (CLDN18.1) and Claudin18.2 (CLDN18.2).
  • CLDN18.1 is specifically expressed in alveolar epithelial cells (Yasui, W., Sentani, K., Sakamoto, N., Anami, K., Naito, Y., & Oue, N. (2011).

  • CLDN18.2 is widely present in gastric tumor tissues; it has been recently discovered that it is also expressed in pancreatic cancer, esophageal cancer and lung cancer (Jovov et al., 2007; Karanjawala et al., 2008). Due to the tight connection between normal cells, antibodies cannot contact Claudin18.2 expressed by cells; however, in tumor cells, due to cytopathic changes, the connection between cells becomes loose, thus exposing CLDN18.2 to the outside, and antibodies can bind to these exposed CLDN18.2 molecules.
  • CLDN18.2 has become an ideal drug target molecule (Klamp, T., Schumacher, J., Huber, G., Kuhne, C., Meissner, U., Selmi, A., Sahin, U. (2011). Highly specific auto-antibodies against claudin-18isoform 2induced by a chimeric HBcAg virus-like particle vaccine kill tumor cells and inhibit the growth of lung metastases. Cancer Res, 71(2), 516-527.).
  • Zolbetuximab is the first chimeric antibody drug developed for CLDN18.2. It has not been humanized and can specifically bind to CLDN18.2 on the surface of tumor cells, thereby inducing antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC), apoptosis, and inhibiting cell proliferation (Woll, S., Schlitter, AM, Dhaene, K., Roller, M., Esposito, I., Sahin, U., & Tureci, O. (2014). Claudin 18.2 is a target for IMAB362antibody in pancreatic neoplasms. Int J Cancer, 134(3), 731-739).

Description

一种能够结合CLDN18.2的抗体或其抗原结合片段及其应用 技术领域
本发明属于生物医药领域,具体涉及一种能够结合CLDN18.2的抗体或其抗原结合片段,本发明还涉及所述抗体的应用。
背景技术
Claudins是紧密连接蛋白家族中重要的成员,在细胞与细胞的连接及细胞与基质的连接中起着重要作用。Claudin18由基因CLDN18编码,是一个四次跨膜蛋白,具有两个胞外区,广泛分布在胃、胰腺和肺等组织均有表达。Claudin18被认为可作为诊断标志物及治疗靶点(Krause,G.,Winkler,L.,Mueller,S.L.,Haseloff,R.F.,Piontek,J.,&Blasig,I.E.(2008).Structure and function of claudins.Biochimica et Biophysica Acta(BBA)-Biomembranes,1778(3),631-645.)。
Claudin18家族中包含Claudin18.1(CLDN18.1)与Claudin18.2(CLDN18.2)两个变体,其中,CLDN18.1特异性表达在肺泡上皮细胞上(Yasui,W.,Sentani,K.,Sakamoto,N.,Anami,K.,Naito,Y.,&Oue,N.(2011).Molecular pathology of gastric cancer:Research and practice.Pathology-Research and Practice,207(10),608-612.),与CLDN18.2只有21个氨基酸的差别(Sahin et al.,2008),CLDN18.2广泛存在于胃部肿瘤组织中;最新发现其在胰腺癌、食管癌和肺癌中也有表达(Jovov et al.,2007;Karanjawala et al.,2008)。正常细胞由于细胞间紧密的连接,抗体不能接触到细胞表达的Claudin18.2;而在肿瘤细胞中,由于细胞病变导致细胞间的连接变得松散,从而将CLDN18.2暴露在外,抗体可以结合这些暴露在外的CLDN18.2分子。因此,CLDN18.2已经成为一种理想的药物靶点分子(Klamp,T.,Schumacher,J.,Huber,G.,Kuhne,C.,Meissner,U.,Selmi,A.,Sahin,U.(2011).Highly specific auto-antibodies against claudin-18isoform 2induced by a chimeric HBcAg virus-like particle vaccine kill tumor cells and inhibit the growth of lung metastases.Cancer Res,71(2),516-527.)。
Zolbetuximab(IMAB362)是第一个针对CLDN18.2靶点开发的嵌合的抗体药物,其并没有进行人源化,能够在肿瘤细胞表面与CLDN18.2特异结合,从而引发抗体依赖性细胞毒性(ADCC)、补体依赖性细胞毒性(CDC)、凋亡以及抑制细胞增殖(Woll,S.,Schlitter,A.M.,Dhaene,K.,Roller,M.,Esposito,I.,Sahin,U.,&Tureci,O.(2014).Claudin 18.2is a  target for IMAB362antibody in pancreatic neoplasms.Int J Cancer,134(3),731-739)。临床前研究已经成功证实Zolbetuximab具有清除癌细胞和控制疾病的强大能力;随后,通过多个I/II期试验评估了其临床疗效和安全性,但以CLDN18.2为靶点的胃癌治疗中仍然存在尚未满足的临床需求(Lordick,F.,Al-Batran,S.E.,Ganguli,A.,Morlock,R.,Sahin,U.,&Tureci,O.(2021).Patient-reported outcomes from the phase II FAST trial of zolbetuximab plus EOX compared to EOX alone as first-line treatment of patients with metastatic CLDN18.2+gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma.Gastric Cancer,24(3),721-730)。因此开发特异性结合CLDN18.2而不结合CLDN18.1,同时具有高度人源化,低免疫原性抗体的单克隆抗体在胃癌等肿瘤的诊断和开发上具有重要意义。

本文提供的是特异性结合CLDN18.2的抗体(例如,单克隆抗体)及其抗原结合片段。在具体的方面,本文提供的是特异性结合CLDN18.2(例如,人CLDN18.2)的抗体。术语“CLDN18.2”是指本领域技术人员已知的任何CLDN18.2受体。例如所述CLDN18.2可以来自哺乳动物,例如CLDN18.2可以来自人或食蟹猴。
如本文所用,全长抗体是包含至少两条重(H)链和两条轻(L)链的糖蛋白,重链和轻链由二硫键连接。抗体的“抗体片段”或“抗原结合片段”指全长抗体的任何部分,但是至少包含结合抗原的所述抗体的部分可变区(例如一个或多个CDR和/或一个或多个抗体结合位点),并且因此保留结合特异性以及所述全长抗体的至少部分特异性结合能力。因此,抗原结合片段指包含与衍生抗体片段的抗体结合相同抗原的抗原结合部分的抗体片段。重链恒定区由三个结构域构成,即CH1、CH2和CH3。各轻链由轻链可变区(简称VL)和轻链恒定区构成。轻链恒定区由一个结构域CL构成。VH和VL区还可以划分为称作互补决定区(complementarity-determining region,CDR)的高变区,其由较为保守的骨架区(FR)区分隔开。各VH和VL由三个CDR以及四个FR构成,从氨基端到羧基端以FR1、CDR1、FR2、CDR2、 FR3、CDR3、FR4的顺序排布。抗体分子的每个重链和轻链具有3个CDR(即重链具有HC-CDR1、HC-CDR2、HC-CDR3;轻链中具有LC-CDR1、LC-CDR2、LC-CDR3)。CDR也称作高变区,且存在于抗体的每个重链和轻链的可变区中,在CDR的一级结构中具有非常高的变异性位点。本说明书中,重链的CDR由来自重链的氨基端序列的氨基端的CDR1、CDR2、CDR3表示,与HC-CDR1、HC-CDR2、HC-CDR3具有相同含义,轻链的CDR由来自轻链的氨基端序列的氨基端的CDR1、CDR2、CDR3表示,与LC-CDR1、LC-CDR2、LC-CDR3具有相同含义。这些位点在三级结构中彼此临近,并决定抗体所结合的抗原的特异性。
抗体包括抗体片段,抗体片段的实例包括但不限于Fab、Fab'、F(ab')2、单链Fv(scFv)、Fv、dsFv、双抗体、Fd和Fd'片段以及其他片段,包括修饰的片段(Welschof&Krauss,2003)。抗原结合片段包括任何抗体片段,其在被插入抗体框架(例如通过置换相应区域)时获得免疫特异性地结合(即表现出至少或至少约107-108M-1的Ka)抗原的抗体。“功能片段”或“抗CLDN18.2抗体的类似物”是可防止或实质降低所述受体结合配体或启动信号转导的能力的片段或类似物。正如本文所使用,功能片段一般与“抗体片段″含义相同,且就抗体而论,可指能防止或实质降低所述受体结合配体或启动信号转导的能力的片段,例如Fv、Fab、F(ab')2等等。“Fv”片段由一条重链的可变结构域和一条轻链的可变结构域籍非共价结合方式而形成的二聚体(VH-VL二聚体)组成。在该构型中,每个可变结构域的三个CDRs相互作用,以确定VH-VL二聚体表面上的靶结合位点,与完整抗体的情况一样。所述六个CDRs共同赋予完整抗体的靶结合特异性。但是,即使是单个可变结构域(或仅包括3个靶特异的CDRs的Fv的一半),仍可具有识别和结合靶的能力。
在本文中,氨基酸的三字母或单字母缩写已以其常规含义使用,如下表中所示:

如本文所用,“单克隆抗体”指相同抗体的群体,表示单克隆抗体群体中的每个单独的抗体分子与其他抗体分子相同。这种特性与抗体的多克隆群体的特性相反,所述抗体的多克隆群体包含具有多种不同序列的抗体。单克隆抗体可以通过许多公知的方法来制备。例如,单克隆抗体可以通过永生化B细胞来制备,例如通过与骨髓瘤细胞融合以产生杂交瘤细胞系或者通过用诸如EBV的病毒感染B细胞。重组技术还可以用来在体外通过用携带编码抗体的核苷酸的人工序列的质粒转化宿主细胞来从宿主细胞的克隆群体制备抗体。

此外,在人源化中,还可能对VH和/或VL的CDR1、CDR2和/或CDR3区内的氨基酸残基进行突变,由此改善抗体的一或多种结合特性(例如亲和性)。可进行例如PCR介导的突变引入突变,其对抗体结合或其它功能特性的影响可利用本文所述的体外或体内测试评估。通常,引入保守性突变。此类突变可为氨基酸取代、添加或缺失。另外,CDR内的突变通常不超过一个或两个。因此,本公开所述人源化抗体还涵盖CDR内包含1或2两个氨基酸突变的抗体。

如本文所用,载体还包括“病毒载体”或“病毒的载体”。病毒的载体是工程化的病毒,其可操作地连接至外源基因以将外源基因转移(作为媒介物或穿梭(shuttle))入细胞。

表1嵌合抗体和人源化抗体序列
实施例5 H7E12-2抗体与人CLDN18.2结合的FACS检测
为了测定人源化H7E12-2抗体与人的CLDN18.2蛋白的结合活性,首先用过表达人CLDN18.2膜蛋白的工程细胞系293T-hCLDN18.2细胞(细胞编号-KC-0986,购自康源博创) 进行结合活性检测。收集处于生长对数期的293T-hCLDN18.2细胞,用流式缓冲液洗涤一次,1000转离心4分钟。用流式缓冲液重悬细胞,调整细胞密度至4×10^6/mL,以50μL体系铺96孔板中,设置待测抗体和二抗均不加孔为空白对照组和只加二抗孔为二抗对照组。
实验组将待测抗体H7E12-2和阳性对照抗体Zolbetuximab(WO2014/146778A1)以20ug/mL的浓度起始,3.16倍稀释10个梯度点,50μL体系加入已铺板的细胞中,总体系100μL,放于4℃避光孵育1小时;使用流式缓冲液洗涤细胞2次,每次200μL,1500转/分钟速度下,离心4分钟。用流式缓冲液以1:100的稀释比配置PE标记的二抗(PE anti-human IgG Fc Antibody,Biolegend)染色液,在实验组、二抗对照组中加入100μL,空白对照孔加入等体积的流式缓冲液;混匀后,放于4℃避光孵育1小时;使用流式缓冲液洗涤细胞2次,每次200μL,1500转/分钟速度下,离心4分钟。100μL体系重悬,用Guava easyCyte6HT(Millipore)流式细胞仪检测阳性信号的平均荧光强度,使用GraphPad Prism 7.0软件分析数据,利用非线性S曲线四参数拟合Y=Bottom+(Top-Bottom)/(1+10^((LogEC50-X)*HillSlope))回归来拟合数据得出剂量-效应曲线,其中Bottom表示荧光信号下限值,代表S曲线的下渐进线,Top表示荧光信号的上限值,代表着S曲线的上渐近线。HillSlope为吸光度增加速率参数,相当于曲线的斜率,并由此计算EC50值,实验结果见图2A和表2。
表2.不同CLDN18.2抗体与人CLDN18.2结合的FACS检测结果
实验结果显示,H7E12-2人源化单抗结合293T-hCLDN18.2细胞上过表达的人CLDN18,2抗原的EC50为0.54μg/mL,相较在三期临床的同类药物Zolbetuximab(EC50为1.71μg/mL),亲和力提高了3.16倍。
进一步,发明者比较了5株不同基因工程改造的细胞系包括过表达人的CLDN18.2工程细胞系CT26-hCLDN18.2(购自南京博望)、MC38-hCLDN18.2-C4(购自南京博望)、MC38-hCLDN18.2-A11(购自南京博望)和KATO III-hCLDN18.2(细胞编号KC-1453,购自康源博创)和293T-hCLDN18.2细胞(细胞编号KC-0986,购自康源博创)等5株细胞其细胞膜表面CLDN18.2表达量的差异,用1μg/mL的H7E12-2抗体与8x 10^4上述不同的细胞进行孵育,按照上述结合活性的实验步骤进行流式染色和数据处理,并将不同细胞表达的H7E12-2结合平均荧光强度统计如图2B和表3所示。结果显示这5株细胞系膜表面CLDN18.2的表达水平排序为CT26-hCLDN18.2<MC38-hCLDN18.2-C4<293T-hCLDN18.2< KATOIII-hCLDN18.2<MC38-hCLDN18.2-A11。
表3.不同工程细胞系CLDN18.2表达量的比较
接下来,利用这些携带不同膜表面CLDN18.2分子密度的细胞系对H7E12-2和阳性对照抗体Zolbetuximab进行全面的结合活性检测,实验步骤如上所述,不同之处在于H7E12-2抗体的浓度从100μg/mL起始,3.16倍稀释8个浓度,阴性对照为hIgG1和空白二抗对照,用NovoCyteQuanteon流式细胞仪(安捷伦)检测PE的信号,使用GraphPad Prism 7.0软件分析数据,利用非线性S曲线回归来拟合数据得出剂量-效应曲线,并由此计算EC50值,实验结果见图2C-2G,和表4。其中,EC50的单位为μg/mL。
表4.H7E12-2在不同人CLDN18.2抗原强度细胞系的结合活性总结
在人CLDN18.2荧光强度最低的细胞CT26-hCLDN18.2中,可以看到H7E12-2抗体明显的亲和力优势,虽然没有得到有效的EC50,但可以看到H7E12-2的结合活性显示浓度梯度依赖的升高,而阳性对照抗体Zolbetuximab在低抗原密度的情况下,完全没有结合活性。在低抗原密度的细胞MC38-hCLDN18.2-C4中,H7E12-2和Zolbetuximab结合活性EC50分别为0.2μg/mL和2.7μg/mL,亲和力提高13.5倍。
在中等抗原密度的细胞293T-hCLDN18.2的两次实验中,由于流式机器激光强度不同,图2A和2E的MFI绝对值有差别,但两次实验中H7E12-2结合293T-hCLDN18.2细胞表面抗原的EC50很接近,分别为0.54μg/mL和0.8μg/mL,而阳性对照抗体Zolbetuximab的EC50分别为1.7μg/mL和1.8μg/mL,两次实验均显示H7E12-2在293T-hCLDN18.2细胞中结合活性增强了2.25~3.16倍。
在高抗原密度的细胞KATOIII-hCLDN18.2,H7E12-2和Zolbetuximab结合活性EC50 分别为0.7μg/mL和1.5μg/mL,亲和力相差2.1倍;另一株高抗原密度的细胞MC38-hCLDN18.2-A11中,H7E12-2和Zolbetuximab结合活性EC50分别为0.7μg/mL和8.7μg/mL,亲和力提高了12.7倍。
综上,本发明中的H7E12-2抗体较阳性对照抗体Zolbetuximab在不同抗原表达强度的细胞系上都有显著的亲和力提升,尤其是在低抗原丰度的情况下,将为其中后续的应用中提供重要的理论依据。
实施例6 H7E12-2抗体与人CLDN18.1结合的FACS检测
CLDN18.1和CLDN18.2同属于Claudins家族,序列同源性约92%(240/261),仅在N端第一个跨膜区存在21个氨基酸差异(Sahin et al.,2008),为了进一步研究H7E12-2抗体的特异性,测试了H7E12-2抗体与人的CLDN18.1抗原的结合活性,实验方法参考实施案例5,不同之处是所用细胞为工程化改造的高表达人CLDN18.1膜蛋白的细胞系293T-hCLDN18.1细胞(购买自康源博创,细胞编号-KC-0990),使用GraphPad Prism 7.0软件分析数据,利用非线性S曲线回归来拟合数据得出剂量-效应曲线,并由此计算EC50值,实验结果见图3。如图所示,H7E12-2和阳性对照抗体Zolbetuximab在浓度高达100μg/mL的情况下,没有与人CLDN18.1抗原的交叉结合活性,提示H7E12-2具有很高的特异性。
实施例7 H7E12-2抗体与小鼠CLDN18.2结合的FACS检测
接下来验证了H7E12-2识别鼠源CLDN18.2抗原的交叉识别活性,交叉识别活性将极大的方便动物药效实验的评价。交叉识别实验方法参考实施案例5,不同之处是所用细胞为生长对数期的细胞293T-mCLDN18.2细胞(购买自康源博创,细胞编号-KC-1014),该细胞过表达小鼠的CLDN18.2抗原,使用GraphPad Prism 7.0软件分析数据,利用非线性S曲线回归来拟合数据得出剂量-效应曲线,并由此计算EC50值,实验结果见图4和表5。
表5.H7E12-2抗体与293T-mCLDN18.2细胞结合的FACS检测结果
交叉识别的实验结果显示:H7E12-2和阳性对照抗体Zolbetuximab均具有交叉识别小鼠CLDN18.2的能力,EC50分别为0.7μg/mL和2.8μg/mL,H7E12-2结合小鼠CLDN18.2的亲和力比阳性对照抗体Zolbetuximab提高了4倍。
实施例8 H7E12-2抗体的内吞实验
受体介导的内吞是很多膜蛋白介导抗体以及抗体偶联药物进入细胞重要的途径,因此 评价了H7E12-2的内吞活性。收集对数生长期的293T-hCLDN18.2细胞(细胞编号KC-0986,购买自康源博创),1000转/分钟速度下离心5分钟后弃上清,使用PBS洗涤细胞一次,使用流式缓冲液重悬细胞计数,调整密度为5×106细胞/mL加到流式管中,加入测试抗体,工作终浓度为10μg/mL,置于4℃避光孵育1小时,使用预冷的流式缓冲液洗涤细胞2次,并用100μL洗液重悬细胞后加入2μL的PE标记的二抗(PE anti-human IgG Fc Antibody),置于4℃避光孵育40分钟,使用预冷的流式缓冲液洗涤细胞2次,并用100μL洗液重悬于200μL完全培养基(DMEM+10%FBS),分别0h,1h,1.5h,2h放置于在37℃孵箱中培养2h,1h,0.5h,0h。解离:流式缓冲液洗涤细胞1次,使用200ul的表面抗体解离缓冲液-重悬细胞,室温孵育7min。中和:加入中和缓冲液离心,最后使用100μL流式缓冲液重悬细胞。用NovoCyteQuanteon流式细胞仪(安捷伦)检测PE的信号。实验结果见图5和表6。
表6.H7E12-2抗体的内吞活性总结
实验结果显示,与阳性对照抗体Zolbetuximab相比,H7E12-2显示出显著的内吞增强活性,2小时后的内吞率高达63%,而Zolbetuximab只有32.5%。
实施例9 H7E12-2人源化抗体的CDC活性检测
补体依赖的细胞毒性作用(CDC)很多抗体引起肿瘤杀伤的作用机制,当抗体的Fab端与抗原结合后,抗体Fc端与血清中的补体C1q,激活补体系统形成攻膜复合物对靶细胞发挥裂解效应。因此,进一步比较了H7E12-2和阳性对照抗体Zolbetuximab的CDC活性。将293T-hCLDN18.2(细胞编号KC-0986,购买自康源博创)细胞离心计数,以每孔1x10^5个细胞接种到U形底96孔板,加入待测抗体后分别加入56℃ 30分钟灭活的人AB血清和非灭活人AB血清,37℃孵育4小时,用流式缓冲液清洗细胞两遍,每孔加入100μL含1μL与凋亡细胞的DNA结合的核酸染料7-AAD(559925,BD)的PBS溶液染色,室温避光孵育10分钟,用NovoCyteQuanteon流式细胞仪(安捷伦)检测靶细胞的活性。使用GraphPad Prism 7.0软件分析数据,利用非线性S曲线回归来拟合数据得出剂量-效应曲线,并由此计算EC50值。实验结果见图6和表7。
表7.H7E12-2抗体的CDC活性总结

结果显示H7E12-2抗体具有较强的CDC活性,EC50为2.1μg/mL,而阳性对照抗体Zolbetuximab完全没有CDC的活性。
实施例10 H7E12-2抗体的ADCC报告细胞系活性检测
抗体依赖的细胞毒作用(ADCC)是许多抗体药物杀伤肿瘤细胞的主要作用机制。FcγRⅢA(CD16a)可以介导NK细胞对肿瘤细胞的ADCC作用,在此利用Jurkat-NFAT-Luc2-CD16a-V15(由康源博创公司构建)作为替代的效应细胞分别与三种过表达人的CLDN18.2的靶细胞MC38-hCLDN18.2-A11(购自南京博望),293T-hCLDN18.2(细胞编号KC-0986,购自康源博)、KATO III-hCLDN18.2(细胞编号KC-1453,购自康源博创)以效靶比为1:1的比例共同孵育,此效应细胞的胞外区过表达高亲和力FcγRⅢA CD16a-V158,与靶细胞和不同浓度的测试抗体(20μg/mL起始,5倍稀释,9个浓度点)共孵育,抗体Fc端结合胞外区高亲和力CD16a-V158激活NFAT-luc2荧光素酶报告系统,通过Plus多功能酶标仪(BMG LABTECH)检测荧光素酶的含量可以检测抗体的ADCC活性的情况。使用GraphPad Prism 7.0软件分析数据,利用非线性S曲线回归来拟合数据得出剂量-效应曲线,并由此计算EC50值。实验结果见图7A-7C和表8。
表8.H7E12-2抗体的ADCC报告细胞系活性总结
Jurkat-NFAT-Luc2-CD16a-V15报告细胞系荧光信号显示,H7E12-2抗体和阳性对照抗体Zolbetuximab在高密度细胞系MC38-hCLDN18.2-A11,H7E12-2的ADCC活性明显优于阳性对照抗体Zolbetuximab,EC50分别为9.6μg/mL和272.7μg/mL(图7A),在中等密度抗原水平的293T-hCLDN18.2细胞上具有相似的杀伤活性(图7B),EC50分别为125.1μg/mL和29.7μg/mL,在另一株高密度的细胞系KATOIII-hCLDN18.2中,H7E12-2的ADCC活性明显优于阳性对照抗体Zolbetuximab,EC50分别为5.6μg/mL和302μg/mL(图7C)。在MC38-hCLDN18.2-A11和KATOIII-hCLDN18.2两种高密度细胞系中,H7E12-2的ADCC活性较阳性对照抗体Zolbetuximab分别提高了28.4倍和53.9倍,表明H7E12-2有极强的 ADCC活性,对其潜在的临床应用提供基础。
实施例11 H7E12-2抗体的ADCC活性检测
在体内,ADCC是由抗体的Fab端结合肿瘤细胞的抗原表位,其Fc端与自然杀伤细胞(NK细胞)表面的FCγR结合,NK细胞活化释放穿孔素、颗粒酶等细胞毒物质,介导NK细胞杀伤靶细胞致使靶细胞凋亡。本实验中,我们利用外周血单核细胞PBMC来源的原代NK细胞作为效应细胞,用293T-hCLDN18.2(细胞编号KC-0986,购自康源博创)作为靶细胞建立共培养系统,在体外模拟ADCC作用。首先用1.6μM的CFSE(Carboxyfluorescein Diacetate Succinimidyl Ester,羧基荧光素二醋酸盐琥珀酰亚胺酯,565082,BD)标记靶细胞293T-hCLDN18.2,室温避光标记10分钟,用5倍体积预冷的无血清培养基洗2遍,将标记好的细胞重悬在ADCC培养液中并计数,向96孔U型板中加入每孔5x 10^4细胞,之后加入测试抗体进行梯度稀释,起始浓度为50μg/mL,用完全培养基梯度稀释3.16倍,共10个浓度点,500转离心30秒后加入1.5x 10^5PBMC细胞/孔,效靶比为30:1。将靶细胞效应细胞抗体复合物在在37℃共孵育4h。孵育结束后,用PBS+2%FBS清洗细胞两遍,每孔加入100μL含1μL 7-AAD(559925,BD)的PBS溶液染色,室温避光孵育10分钟,用NovoCyteQuanteon流式细胞仪(安捷伦)检测靶细胞的活性。使用GraphPad Prism 7.0软件分析数据,利用非线性S曲线回归来拟合数据得出剂量-效应曲线,并由此计算EC50值。实验结果见图8和表9。
表9.H7E12-2抗体的原代NK细胞介导的ADCC活性总结
实验结果显示,在原代NK细胞介导的ADCC杀伤实验中,与报告细胞系的结果相似,H7E12-2依然显示很强的ADCC活性,EC50为12ng/mL,而阳性对照抗体Zolbetuximab的EC50为74ng/mL,H7E12-2原代NK细胞介导的ADCC活性提高了6.17倍,显示其优于Zolbetuximab的肿瘤杀伤活力。
实施例12 H7E12-2抗体的ADCP活性检测
抗体依赖性细胞介导的吞噬作用(ADCP)是另一个抗体类药物杀伤肿瘤细胞的重要作用机制,抗体的Fab通过与抗原结合,引起构象变化,并促进抗体的Fc端与巨噬细胞表面的FcγRIIA(CD32a)的结合,并激活FcγRIIA下游信号ITAM信号,促进巨噬细胞对肿瘤抗原阳性细胞的吞噬,在本实验中,利用小鼠骨髓分化来源的巨噬细胞与 293T-hCLDN18.2(细胞编号KC-0986,购自康源博创)细胞共培养来评价H7212-2抗体的ADCP活性。无菌解剖小鼠取股骨和胫骨剃掉表面的组织,用剪子剪断两端将骨髓用注射器吹出并收集离心,用培养基重悬计数,用小鼠M-CSF分化BMDM。将诱导好的BMDM用1mL Accutase消化下来,1200转离心5分钟,用1640+5%FBS重悬计数备用。吞噬实验当天,将靶细胞1.6μM/mL的终浓度CFSE标记,室温避光染色用1640+5%FBS重悬计数,以5x10^4细胞/孔铺到低吸附96孔U形底板,每孔80μL,加入梯度稀释的测试药40μL/孔后低速瞬离,将诱导好的BMDM按照对应的效靶比的细胞数铺到低吸付96孔U形底板,每孔80μL,用排枪混匀后37度孵育4小时。用流式缓冲液洗两遍,加入100μL PBS中含有1μL的APC-F4/80,混匀后4度孵育30min,用流式缓冲液洗两遍,加入100μL PBS中含有1μL的7-AAD,混匀后室温孵育10分钟,用NovoCyteQuanteon流式细胞仪(安捷伦)检测ADCP的吞噬比例,结果的出后利用公式计算吞噬指数(%)=%(F4/80+CFSE+)/%(F4/80+)×100%。使用GraphPad Prism 7.0软件分析数据,利用非线性S曲线回归来拟合数据得出剂量-效应曲线,并由此计算EC50值。实验结果见图9。虽然为得到有效的EC50,依然可以看到H7E12-2显示浓度梯度依赖的吞噬活性的增加,相比阳性对照抗体Zolbetuximab在各浓度点都有显著增强的吞噬活性。
