Definitions

  • the present invention belongs to the field of biotechnology and relates to a multifunctional recombinant antibody and a preparation method and application thereof, and specifically relates to a multifunctional recombinant antibody that can recognize CD73 and has IL15 function and an application thereof.
  • Antibody drugs have now become a major component of anticancer drugs, but in terms of solid tumors, the efficacy of antibody drugs is still limited, so it is important to find more new solid tumor antigens, but it is also relatively difficult.
  • an important aspect is to relieve the inhibitory effect of the tumor microenvironment (TME) on immune effector cells.
  • CD73 is a 5-primary nucleotide hydrolase that can hydrolyze extracellular adenosine monophosphate (AMP) into adenosine, which is a powerful immunosuppressive molecule that can inhibit the activation of CD8-positive T cells and help cancer cells escape the "hunt" of T cells.
  • AMP adenosine monophosphate
  • CD73 is one of the key components of the formation of an immunosuppressive microenvironment in cancer. It is reported that CD73 is expressed in many different cancers, including colon cancer, lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, ovarian cancer, bladder cancer, leukemia, glioma, glioblastoma, melanoma, thyroid cancer, esophageal cancer, prostate cancer and breast cancer. Moreover, the expression of CD73 in cancer is associated with cell proliferation, migration, neovascularization, invasiveness, metastasis and shorter survival of patients. CD73 activity has also been proposed as a prognostic marker for papillary thyroid carcinoma.
  • CD73 has been shown to regulate tumor cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions
  • CD73 expression and activity have also been associated with reduced T cell responses and have been suggested to be involved in drug resistance. Therefore, CD73 can directly and indirectly regulate the development of cancer, which reflects its potential as a new therapeutic target, and it is highly desirable to inhibit its activity through regulation and develop related therapeutic agents.
  • IL15 is a cytokine expressed by a variety of cells, including monocytes, macrophages, epidermal cells and fibroblasts, but not by T lymphocytes. Unlike many other cytokines, IL15 is generally not secreted from cells to exert its effects, but is localized on specific cell membranes after combining with IL15R ⁇ , thereby stimulating nearby effector cells, mainly NK and CD8+T cells. IL15 is closely related to IL2. After IL15 forms a complex with IL15R ⁇ , it can bind to the ⁇ / ⁇ receptors shared by IL2 to mediate its biological activity.
  • IL15/R ⁇ does not stimulate the proliferation of Treg.

Description

一种多功能重组抗体及其制备方法和应用 技术领域
本发明属于生物技术领域,涉及一种多功能重组抗体及其制备方法和应用,具体涉及一种能够既识别CD73又具有IL15功能的多功能重组抗体及其应用。
背景技术
抗体药物目前已经成为抗癌药物中的一个主要组成部分,但是在实体瘤方面,抗体药物的疗效还是有限的,因此寻找更多的新型实体瘤抗原很重要,但是也相对困难。对于实体瘤治疗而言,要克服提高的疗效,很重要的一个方面就是解除肿瘤微环境(TME)对免疫效应细胞的抑制作用。CD73是5-主核苷酸水解酶,可将细胞外腺苷一磷酸(AMP)水解为腺苷,而腺苷是一种功能强大的免疫抑制性分子,能够抑制CD8阳性T细胞的活化,进而帮助癌细胞逃逸T细胞的“追杀”,可以说它是癌症中免疫抑制微环境形成的关键成分之一。据报道,CD73在许多不同的癌症中均有表达,包括结肠癌、肺癌、胰腺癌、卵巢癌、膀胱癌、白血病、神经胶质瘤、胶质母细胞瘤、黑色素瘤、甲状腺癌、食道癌、前列腺癌和乳腺癌等。而且,CD73在癌症中的表达与细胞增殖、迁移、新血管形成、侵袭性、转移和患者更短的生存相关。也有人提出CD73活性可作为甲状腺乳头状癌的预后标志物。虽然已经表明CD73可调节肿瘤细胞与细胞和细胞与基质间的相互作用,但CD73的表达和活性也与T细胞反应降低有关,并且有人提出其涉及抗药性。因此,CD73可以直接和间接地调控癌症的发展,这一点体现了其作为新的治疗靶标的潜力,因此通过调控抑制其活性以及研究出相关治疗剂是非常令人期望的。
IL15是一种由多种细胞表达的细胞因子,这些细胞包括单核细胞、巨噬细胞、表皮细胞和成纤维细胞等,但T淋巴细胞则不表达。与其他多种细胞因子不同,IL15一般不分泌出细胞发挥作用,而是与IL15Rα组合后定位在特定的 细胞膜,从而刺激附近的效应细胞,主要是NK和CD8+T细胞。IL15与IL2关系密切,IL15与IL15Rα形成复合物后可以与IL2共用的β/γ受体结合,介导其生物学活性。在抗肿瘤作用方面,IL15比IL2的一个优势是IL15/Rα不会刺激Treg的增殖。目前,有多种IL15相关的分子在研发阶段用于治疗恶性肿瘤。其中进展最快的是ALT-803,其分子由IL15和IL15Rαsushi-hFc1形成的复合物。多个临床研究显示,ALT-803对包括黑色素瘤在内的多种肿瘤有效,但同时会出现严重的毒副作用,主要包括肝功能损害,低血压和发烧等。
开发一种能够杀伤多种癌症细胞且毒副作用小的药物有重要的意义。

实施例3鼠源抗体3E10抑制NCI-H1975细胞CD73酶活性
肿瘤细胞表达的CD73具有酶活性,可以将AMP分解为Ado。AMP可以抑制ATP引起的化学发光反应,但Ado则没有该作用。因此,可以通过检测AMP的消耗来检测CD73的活性,从而检测单抗对CD73酶活性的抑制作用。
实验步骤:人肿瘤细胞NCI-H1975以30000cells/孔接种96孔细胞培养板(Corning,Cat#3599),于CO 2细胞培养箱培养过夜,次日,吸弃培养上清,加入待检单抗或对照单抗,50μL/孔,系列稀释(10000ng/mL起始,3倍比稀释共10个梯度,最低浓度至0.5ng/mL,),37℃孵育30分钟,再加入50μL/孔不含血清的培养基配制的800μM AMP(Sigma,cat#A1752)溶液,37℃孵育3小时。吸25μL/孔细胞反应液入荧光检测板(White Opaque 96-well Microplate,PerkinElmer,Cat#6005290),再加入25μL/孔不含血清培养基配制的80μM ATP溶液,加入50μL/孔CTG溶液(CellTiter Glo,Promega,cat#G7573),室温孵育5分钟后用化学发光检测仪(BioTech公司)检测荧光值。
