Definitions

  • the present application relates to the field of biomedicine, in particular to an antibody targeting CD25 or its variant, as well as its preparation method and application.
  • Treg Regulatory T cells
  • CD25 is the alpha chain of interleukin-2 receptor (IL2R ⁇ ), which is constitutively expressed in Treg cells, while the expression of CD25 in Teff cells is lower. This property makes CD25 a potential target that can specifically target Treg cells.
  • IL2R ⁇ interleukin-2 receptor
  • Tff cells Teff cells
  • CD25 is expressed in Hodgkin's lymphoma and various non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, and the expression rate of CD25 is close to 100% in adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma and hairy cell leukemia.
  • ADC antibody-drug conjugates
  • ADCT-301 has shown good efficacy in clinical research on Hodgkin's lymphoma.
  • the development of antibody drugs for this target can achieve anti-tumor effects through Fc optimization and enhancement of ADCC function. On the other hand, it can also be developed through ADC methods.
  • anti-CD25 antibody drugs focused on blocking antibodies against the ligand interleukin-2 in the early stage, including monoclonal antibodies and ADCs. Recent studies have found that anti-CD25 antibodies that do not block interleukin-2 have shown better anti-tumor activity in mouse experiments, which may be due to the expression of CD25 on effector T cells (Teff). Blocking antibodies Inhibits the signaling pathway of interleukin-2, thereby inhibiting the activity of Teff. Teff is the main function of cells in the process of tumor immunity, and this feature of blocking antibodies weakens its anti-tumor effect. A non-blocking anti-CD25 antibody would avoid this problem and have more pronounced antitumor activity.

Description

靶向CD25的抗体及其制备方法和应用
本申请要求申请日为2022/1/17的中国专利申请2022100512339的优先权。本申请引用上述中国专利申请的全文。
技术领域
本申请涉及生物医药领域,具体涉及一种靶向CD25的抗体或其变体,以及其制备方法和应用。
背景技术
调节性T细胞(Treg)是一类控制体内自身免疫反应性的T细胞亚群,在维持机体免疫耐受,自体免疫和抗肿瘤免疫中起到关键的作用。已有的研究发现,肿瘤浸润的Treg细胞增加与多种肿瘤的预后呈现负相关。另外,肿瘤微环境中效应T细胞(Teff)与Treg的比例的高低将影响肿瘤的进程和治疗效果。尽管这些研究提示针对Treg的抗肿瘤治疗方案具有潜在的价值,但在临床上靶向Treg的抗肿瘤疗法却鲜有成功的例子,主要原因是,可用于设计特异性靶向Treg的标志分子尚不明确。在小鼠实验中,抗CTLA-4的抗体表现出了清除肿瘤浸润Treg细胞的效果,这一效应是通过激活Fc受体(FcRs)实现的。然而,在临床的实验中关于抗CTLA-4抗体对Treg的清除作用尚不明确。一些研究发现增强抗CTLA-4抗体与FcRs的亲和力可以改善抗体临床实验的效果,但是并非所有CTLA-4抗体治疗都会导致Treg细胞的减少。因此,仍然需要开发靶向Treg的特异性标记分子抗体,成为实现靶向Treg抗肿瘤治疗。
CD25是白介素-2受体的α链(IL2Rα),在Treg细胞中组成性的高表达,而在Teff细胞中CD25的表达量更低。这一特性使CD25成为能够特异性靶向Treg细胞的潜在靶点。然而由于缺乏对抗CD25抗体在小鼠及临床实验中的研究,使其发展受限。近期研究发现,在小鼠实验中,通过增加抗CD25抗体与FcRs的亲和力,从而增强抗体依赖的细胞介导的细胞毒性作用(ADCC)能够显著提高抗体的体内的抗肿瘤活性。另外,研究发现经过Fc优化增强ADCC功能的抗CD25抗体能够显著提高抗PD-1抗体在体内的抗肿瘤活性。另一方面,CD25在霍奇金淋巴癌和多种非霍奇金淋巴癌中均有表达,在成人T-细胞白血病/淋巴瘤和毛细胞白血病中CD25的表达率接近了100%。基于CD25在血液肿瘤中的高表达,以CD25为靶点的抗体偶联药物(ADC)的研究成为热点。已有的抗CD25 的ADC药物ADCT-301在霍奇金淋巴癌的临床研究中体现了较好的疗效。基于CD25在Treg和淋巴癌细胞中的高表达,对这一靶点抗体药物的开发可以通过Fc优化增强ADCC功能实现抗肿瘤效果,另一方面也可以通过ADC的方法进行开发。
抗CD25抗体药物的研发,早期都集中于对配体白介素-2的阻断性抗体,包括单抗和ADC。近期的研究发现,不阻断白介素-2的抗CD25抗体在小鼠实验中体现出了更好的抗肿瘤活性,这可能是由于CD25在效应T细胞(Teff)上也有表达,阻断性抗体抑制了白介素-2的信号通路,从而抑制了Teff的活性。而Teff是肿瘤免疫过程中发挥主要功能的细胞,阻断性抗体的这一特性减弱了其抗肿瘤的作用。而非阻断性的抗CD25抗体将避免这一问题,具有更显著的抗肿瘤活性。
在以抗CD25单抗为开发策略的领域,目前已有多家公司正在致力于开发抗CD25的白介素-2非阻断性抗体,进展最快的是罗氏的RG6292,处于临床1期的研究,适应症为实体瘤。在以ADC为开发策略的领域,同样也有多家公司正在研究,进展最快的是ADCT-301,目前处于临床2期,适应症为霍奇金淋巴癌。然而,临床上尚未有一种高选择性的抗CD25白介素-2非阻断性抗体。

本领域人员公知,在本领域中可以通过多种方法来定义抗体的CDR,例如基于抗体的三维结构和CDR环的拓扑学的Chothia(Chothia等人.(1989)Nature 342:877-883,Al-Lazikani等人,“Standard conformations for the canonical structures of immunoglobulins”,Journal of Molecular Biology,273,927-948(1997)),基于抗体序列可变性的Kabat(Kabat等人,Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest,第4版,U.S.Department of Health and Human Services,National Institutes of Health(1987)),AbM(University of Bath),Contact(University College London),国际ImMunoGeneTics database(IMGT)(万维网imgt.cines.fr/),以及基于利用大量晶体结构的近邻传播聚类(affinity propagation clustering)的North CDR定义。在本发明中,所列CDR的氨基酸序列均是按照Chothia定义规则所示出的(本发 明的权利要求中也是按照Chothia定义规则所示出的序列)。
其中,Laa-Lbb可以指从抗体轻链的N端开始,第aa位至第bb位的氨基酸序列;Haa-Hbb可以指从抗体重链的N端开始,第aa位至第bb位的氨基酸序列。例如,L24-L34可以指从抗体轻链N端开始,按照Chothia编码规则的从第24位至第34位的氨基酸序列;H26-H32可以指从抗体重链N端开始,按照Chothia编码规则的从第26位至第32位的氨基酸序列。

具体实施方式
下面通过实施例的方式进一步说明本发明,但并不因此将本发明限制在所述的实施例范围之中。下列实施例中未注明具体条件的实验方法,按照常规方法和条件,或按照商品说明书选择。
实施例1.抗CD25抗体分子的获得
利用CD25重组蛋白对实验动物进行免疫以获得针对CD25特异性结合的抗体分子,该实验动物可以是小鼠、大鼠、兔、羊、骆驼等。通常,其得到的抗体分子是非人源的。 在获得非人源抗体后,需要对这些分子利用抗体工程技术进行人源化改造,以降低免疫原性并提高成药性。然而,抗体的人源化过程有其技术复杂性,经过人源化改造的分子往往会降低对抗原的亲和力。另一方面,转基因技术的进步使得可以培育出基因工程化小鼠,其携带人免疫球蛋白免疫库并使其内源的鼠的免疫库缺失。Harbour H2L2小鼠(Harbour Antibodies BV)是一种携带人免疫球蛋白免疫库的转基因小鼠,这种转基因小鼠产生的抗体具有全人源的序列,因而无需再进一步做人源化改造,大大提高了治疗性抗体开发的效率。
1.1.小鼠免疫
用可溶的重组人CD25-his融合蛋白(Sino Biological,#10165-H08H)作为抗原对Harbour H2L2小鼠进行多轮免疫。抗原蛋白与免疫佐剂混合成免疫原试剂,然后通过皮下经腹股沟注射或通过腹腔注射。在每一轮免疫中,每只小鼠接受的总注射剂量是100微升。在首轮免疫中,每只小鼠接受用50微克抗原蛋白与完全弗氏佐剂(Sigma,#F5881)以体积比1:1混合配制的免疫原试剂的免疫。在随后的每轮增强免疫中,每只小鼠接受用25微克抗原蛋白与Sigma Adjuvant System佐剂(Sigma,#S6322)混合配制的免疫原试剂的免疫。每轮增强免疫的间隔时间至少为两周,通常为6到7轮增强免疫。免疫时间为第0、14、28、42、56、70、84、98天;并且在第49、77天,检测小鼠血清抗体滴度。在进行H2L2小鼠脾B细胞分离前5天,以每只小鼠25微克抗原蛋白的剂量进行最后一次增强免疫。
1.2.血清滴度检测
在特定的时间点,收取小鼠血清,用FACS方法检测血清中抗体结合CD25的滴度。
将编码人CD25(其Genebank号为NM000417)的cDNA通过基因合成获得,并被克隆到表达载体pcDNA3.1中,然后将表达载体转染至CHO细胞中,构建高表达人CD25的CHOK1-huCD25细胞。
梯度稀释的鼠血清与CHOK1-huCD25细胞4℃孵育1小时;细胞洗2次后,加入二抗anti-rat IgG(H+L)(Life technologies,A11006)4℃孵育1小时,洗2次后,重悬细胞用流式细胞仪检测(BD,CantoII)。CHOK1细胞作为本底对照。
1.3.通过杂交瘤技术筛选抗CD25的抗体
将编码食蟹猴CD25(其Genebank号为NM001283704)的cDNA通过基因合成获得,并被克隆到表达载体pcDNA3.1中,然后将表达载体转染至HEK293细胞中,构建高表达食蟹猴CD25的HEK293-cynoCD25细胞。
选择血清效价高的免疫小鼠进行一次终免疫后处死小鼠,取脾细胞和SP2/0骨髓瘤 细胞(ATCC,CRL-1581)进行电融合,细胞比例为4:1,电融合参数为V1:50V,t1:15s,V2:600V,t2:20μs,t3:0.5s,n:1,t4:7s,V+/-:+,fade:on。细胞重悬于含20%FBS和HT的DMEM的培液中铺板1×105/100μL/孔,24小时后再加100μL/孔含20%FBS和2×HT的DMEM继续培养。后续取上清检测抗体滴度。一般在融合后9-15天,重组人CD25-his蛋白免疫的小鼠取上清用ELISA进行初筛,检测与重组人CD25-his蛋白的结合;阳性的克隆然后用FACS进一步确认,检测与过表达人CD25的CHOK1细胞株(CHOK1-huCD25)、过表达食蟹猴CD25的HEK293细胞株(HEK293-cynoCD25)的结合能力。另外用FACS方法检测阳性克隆对白介素-2与CHOK1-huCD25结合的阻断作用。没有阻断作用且阳性的孔用有限稀释法进一步亚克隆,再进一步用ELISA与FACS方法筛选。对人和猴CD25结合较好的克隆被挑选出来进行测序。在本实施例中,从免疫的Harbour H2L2小鼠得到的抗CD25单克隆抗体分子可变结构域的序列是人源抗体序列。
1.4.制备全人重组抗体
在得到编码抗体分子的轻、重链可变结构域序列以后,可以采用常规的重组DNA技术,将轻、重链可变结构域序列和相应的人的抗体轻、重链恒定结构域序列进行融合表达,得到重组抗体分子。在本实施例中,抗体重链可变结构域序列(VH)通过基因合成并克隆到编码人IgG1抗体重链恒定结构域序列的哺乳动物细胞表达质粒载体中,以编码产生IgG1抗体的全长重链。抗体轻链可变结构域序列(VL)通过基因合成并克隆到编码人抗体Igκ轻链恒定结构域序列的哺乳动物细胞表达质粒载体中,以编码产生抗体的全长轻链。在本实施例中,由于从免疫的Harbour H2L2小鼠得到的抗CD25单克隆抗体分子可变结构域的序列是人源抗体序列,因而本实施例也得到全人源的抗CD25重组IgG1抗体。
将编码抗体重链的质粒和编码抗体轻链的质粒同时转染哺乳动物宿主细胞(如人胚肾细胞HEK293),利用常规的重组蛋白表达和纯化技术,可以得到具有轻重链正确配对组装的纯化的CD25重组抗体。具体说来,将HEK293细胞在FreeStyleTM F17 Expression Medium培养基(Thermo,#A1383504)中扩培。瞬时转染开始之前,调节细胞浓度至6~8×105细胞/ml,于37℃ 8%CO2摇床中培养24小时,细胞浓度在1.2×106细胞/ml。准备30ml培养的细胞。将上述编码抗体重链的质粒和编码抗体轻链的质粒以2:3的比例混合共计30μg质粒溶解于1.5ml Opti-MEM减血清培养基(Thermo,31985088),并用0.22μm滤膜过滤除菌。再取1.5ml Opti-MEM溶入1mg/ml PEI(Polysciences,Inc#23966-2)120μl,静置5分钟。把PEI缓慢加入质粒中,室温孵育10分钟,边摇晃培养瓶边缓慢滴入质粒PEI混合溶液,于37℃ 8%CO2摇床中培养5天。5天后观测细胞活率。收集 培养物,以3300g转速离心10分钟后取上清;然后将上清高速离心去除杂质。用PBS(pH7.4)平衡含有MabSelectTM(GE Healthcare Life Science,#71-5020-91AE)的重力柱(Bio-Rad,#7311550),2-5倍柱体积冲洗。将上清样品过柱;用5-10倍柱体积的PBS冲洗柱子,再用pH3.5的0.1M甘氨酸洗脱目的蛋白,后用pH 8.0的Tris-HCl调节至中性,最后用超滤管(Millipore,UFC901024)浓缩换液至PBS缓冲液,得到纯化的CD25抗体溶液。最后用NanoDrop(Thermo ScientificTM NanoDropTM One)测定浓度,分装、存储备用。
1.5通过Fc区突变来增强ADCC效应功能
将抗体重链可变结构域序列(VH)通过基因合成并克隆到编码人IgG1抗体重链恒定结构域序列的哺乳动物细胞表达质粒载体中,并且在该IgG1重链恒定区的CH2区引入S239D和I332E突变(根据EU编号,第239位丝氨酸取代成天冬氨酸,和第332位异亮氨酸取代成谷氨酸)以增加ADCC效应功能。然后利用实施例1.4中所述方法将编码抗体重链和抗体轻链的质粒转染哺乳动物宿主细胞来制备重组抗体蛋白。
1.6通过去除岩藻糖来增强ADCC效应功能
本实施例通过去除抗体糖链(N297)上的岩藻糖组分来改变Fc构象进而增强ADCC效应功能。然后利用实施例1.4中所述方法,将编码IgG1抗体重链的质粒和编码抗体轻链的质粒同时转染哺乳动物宿主细胞,并且加入2-fluoro peracetylated fucose(2FF)(Sigma-Aldrich,#344827),然后按照实施例1.4中所述方法进行细胞培养、收集、纯化等步骤。化合物2FF的加入会抑制糖苷酶活性并抑制糖链上的岩藻糖组分的产生。
本实施例产生的重组抗体与实施例1.4中产生的重组抗体具有相同的氨基酸序列,但是不同的糖链修饰。为了区分两种方法产生的具有相同氨基酸序列的不同抗体蛋白样品,本实施例使用“AF”作为抗体样品名称后缀来说明该样品是“低岩藻糖”或“无岩藻糖”的样品。
例如,PR004639是含有正常IgG1恒定区的重组抗体,并用实施例1.4中所述方法制备相应的具有正常糖链结构的抗体蛋白样品。PR004639AF是具有和PR004639相同的氨基酸序列,利用本实施例方法得到的去除岩藻糖修饰的抗体蛋白样品。
在一些实施例中,同一个抗体的氨基酸序列既可以用实施例1.4中所述方法制备抗体样品(编号为PRxxxxxx,其中xxxxxx为数字),也可以用本实施例方法制备抗体样品(编号为PRxxxxxxAF,其中xxxxxx为数字),这些样品在糖链结构上有差异。
1.7抗CD25全人重组抗体的序列
表2-1列出了本发明申请中CD25抗体的轻、重链可变结构域氨基酸序列,轻链全 长氨基酸序列,重链全长氨基酸序列和根据Chothia定义规则定义的CDR的氨基酸序列。
本发明申请的多个实施例中使用的对照抗体为RG6292,其序列来自专利申请US20190284287A1,其相应的重组IgG1抗体的编号为PR004639。利用实施例1.6中所述方法制备去除岩藻糖的抗体蛋白样品PR004639AF,即RG6292的类似物。PR004639(PR004639AF,RG6292)的序列见表2-5。
本发明申请的实施例中使用的对照抗体为daclizumab(商品名Zenapax,Roche),对应的重组IgG1抗体的编号为PR003689,其重链序列如SEQ ID NO.217所示,轻链序列如SEQ ID NO.218所示。
本发明申请的实施例中使用的对照抗体为HuMax-Tac(Genmab公司),其序列来自专利申请WO2014057119A1,对应的重组IgG1抗体的编号为PR007722。
实施例2抗体的序列分析和序列优化
抗体的重链可变结构域序列来源于染色体上重链基因群的胚系基因V、D、J基因片段的基因重排和体细胞高频突变等事件;轻链可变结构域序列来源于轻链基因群的胚系基因V、J基因片段的基因重排和体细胞高频突变等事件。基因重排和体细胞高频突变是增加抗体多样性的主要因素。来源于相同胚系V基因片段的抗体也可能产生不同的序列,但总体上相似性较高。利用一些算法,例如IMGT/DomainGapAlign(http://imgt.org/3Dstructure-DB/cgi/DomainGapAlign.cgi)或者NCBI/IgBLAST(https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/igblast/)可以从抗体的可变结构域序列推测出其发生基因重排时可能的胚系基因片段。将实施例1和表2-1中的抗体序列进行分析,其重链可变结构域(VH)和轻链可变结构域(VL)的胚系基因V基因片段列于表2-2。
蛋白质或多肽氨基酸链在细胞中翻译合成后有时会引入化学修饰,称为翻译后修饰(PTM)。对于抗体而言,一些PTM的位点是非常保守的,例如,在人的IgG1抗体的恒定结构域的第297位(EU编号)的保守的氨基酸天冬酰胺Asn通常会发生糖基化修饰形成糖链,而该糖链结构对于抗体结构和相关的效应子功能是至关重要的。但是,如果在抗体的可变结构域,尤其是抗原结合区域(如CDR)中存在PTM,那么这些PTM的存在有可能会对抗原的结合有较大的影响,也可能对抗体的物理化学性质带来变化。例如,糖基化、脱酰胺、异构化、氧化等都可能增加抗体分子的不稳定性或异质性,从而增加抗体开发的难度和风险。因而避免一些潜在的PTM对于治疗性抗体的开发是非常重要的。随着经验的积累,人们发现一些PTM是和氨基酸序列的组成尤其是相邻氨基酸组成的“模式”是高度相关的,这样使得可以从蛋白质的一级氨基酸序列预测出潜在的PTM。 例如,N-x-S/T(第一位是天冬酰胺,第二位是非脯氨酸以外的任意氨基酸,第三位是丝氨酸或者苏氨酸)的序列模式预测出N-连接糖基化位点。引起PTM的氨基酸序列模式有可能来源于胚系基因序列,例如人胚系基因片段IGHV3-33天然地在FR3区域存在糖基化模式NST;也可能来源于体细胞高频突变。表2-2列出了实施例1的抗体的可变结构域VH和VL的预测的PTM。具体说来,NSS或NLT可能是糖基化位点,NS或NT或NN可能是脱酰胺位点。
可以通过氨基酸突变来破坏PTM的氨基酸序列模式,从而降低或者去除特定PTM的形成。根据抗体序列和PTM序列模式的不同,有不同的突变设计方法。一种方法是将“热点”氨基酸(如NS模式中的N或S)替换成物理化学性质相似的氨基酸(如把N突变为Q),或者利用饱和突变的方法将其替换成其他任一氨基酸。如果PTM序列模式来源于体细胞高频突变,而并不存在于胚系基因序列中,那么另一种方法可以是把该序列模式替换成对应的胚系基因序列。实际操作中,对同一个PTM序列模式可能采用多种突变设计方法。
表2-3列出了对来自实施例1的具有潜在PTM位点的抗体的序列进行氨基酸突变得到的新的抗体分子(称为PTM变体)。表2-4列出了本实施例中这些PTM变体的轻、重链可变结构域氨基酸序列,轻链全长氨基酸序列,重链(人IgG1)全长氨基酸序列,和根据Chothia定义规则定义的CDR的氨基酸序列。所有设计出来的PTM变体按照实施例1.4中描述的方法得到纯化的重组抗体,并在后续的功能实验中进一步验证。
