Abstract

The present invention relates to a fusion molecule having phagocytosis inducing activity, which can address the issue of tissue damage caused by activation of an inflammatory reaction of the prior art, and thus accumulated abnormal proteins, such as beta-amyloid, tau, alpha-synuclein, huntingtin, or prion, or the like, are effectively removed, so that the present invention can be used for prevention or treatment of proteinosis caused by the abnormal accumulation of substances.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to fusion molecules having non-inflammatory phagocytosis-inducing activity and suggests the possibility of using the fusion molecules for prevention or treatment of diseases that are caused by abnormal accumulation of substances, such as proteopathy.

[0002] Background Art

[0003] Numerous degenerative diseases are characterized by aberrant folding, polymerization and accumulation of proteins. These proteopathies include various types of amyloidosis .

[0004] Amyloidosis is a disease in which abnormal proteins called amyloid accumulate in tissues. Amyloid is a protein aggregate that has a diameter of 7-13 nm and a beta-sheet structure and exhibits a fibrous morphology when viewed under a microscope, and it is characterized by being stained with Thioflavin T (ThioT) and Congo red. Amyloid is not normally found in the body, and to date, 36 proteins have been identified as being amyloidogenic (Picken, Acta Haematol. (2020), 143:322-334). Representative examples of amyloidosis diseases include neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease and prion disease. In addition, there are a number of amyloid diseases having various aspects depending on amyloid-causing proteins and affected organs.

[0005] Alzheimer's disease is the biggest cause of dementia and is a fatal disease accompanied by learning and memory impairment. 130 million people are expected to suffer from Alzheimer's disease by 2050 worldwide, and 1 in 9 people among the population above 65 years old have already been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.

[0006] A hallmark of Alzheimer's disease is that beta-amyloid (A|3) protein caused by abnormal degradation of amyloid precursor protein (APP), deposits and accumulates around the brain cell membrane. Another hallmark is abnormal hyperphosphorylation of microtubule-associated tau protein.

[0007] It has recently been reported that beta-amyloid oligomers and fibrils cause synaptic dysfunction and cytotoxicity through various pathways, and create a vicious cycle that adversely affects nerve cells through functional changes in astrocytes and microglia, which are responsible for immunity in the brain.

[0008] Therapeutic drugs for Alzheimer's disease approved by the FDA to date are drugs that inhibit acetylcholine degradation or inhibit the activity of NMDA receptors, and these drugs aim only for temporary relief of symptoms, not fundamental treatment of the disease. Therefore, there is currently no method capable of fundamentally treating Alzheimer's disease, and accordingly, Alzheimer's disease is known to be the most expensive disease for patient treatment and care in the aging population.

[0009] For a fundamental treatment of Alzheimer's disease, drug development has been conducted for decades with a focus on inhibiting formation of and eliminating beta-amyloid. Unfortunately, however, most of the therapeutic drugs for Alzheimer's disease developed to inhibit formation of and eliminate beta-amyloid failed because they turned out to be ineffective in the clinical stage. For example, in the case of BACE inhibitors for reducing beta-amyloid, strategies that prevent additional beta-amyloid production are largely ineffective, because in Alzheimer's patients with cognitive decline, beta-amyloid plaques have already accumulated and neuronal cell death is taking place.

[0010] Since the recent studies reporting that monoclonal antibodies which specifically bind to beta-amyloid oligomers and fibrils induced beta-amyloid clearance and restored cognitive function in Alzheimer's disease patients, a strategy to treat Alzheimer's disease through anti-beta-amyloid antibodies has emerged as a new hope.

[0011] The mechanisms of action of beta-amyloid monoclonal antibodies proposed to date include inhibition of aggregation of beta-amyloid oligomers and fibrils by binding thereto, or the induction of microglial phagocytosis of beta-amyloid through Fc receptors that recognize the monoclonal antibodies.

[0012] However, despite the advances in the development of therapeutic drugs for   Alzheimer's disease,   current immunotherapy using anti-beta-amyloid monoclonal antibodies shows amyloid-related   imaging abnormalities   (ARIAs) accompanied by severe edema in 55% of patients treated with the antibodies, and for this reason, about 35% of the ARIA patients were dropped from clinical trials. The ARIA phenomenon is known to be due to synaptotoxicity and cytotoxicity caused by inflammatory responses that are inevitably activated when anti-beta-amyloid monoclonal antibodies stimulate Fc receptors of microglia cells.

[0013] Since synapses and neurons in the brain respond sensitively to inflammatory cytokines, treatment using antibeta-amyloid monoclonal antibodies has an inherent problem in that it inevitably causes damages to neurons and synapses, even if it clears beta-amyloid to some extent. In addition to monoclonal antibodies, companies such as Alector and Denali presented strategies to improve the microglia's ability to clear beta-amyloid by activating targets such as TREM2 that regulate the immunological mechanism of microglia, and these strategies have received a lot of attention. However, even in these strategies, when microglia are excessively activated, synaptic damage due to an increase in overall phagocytotic capacity is expected.

[0014] Therefore, an important task in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease is to develop a method to selectively clear only beta-amyloid oligomers and fibrils without causing inflammatory responses and synaptic damage, and these drugs are expected to make a significant contribution to the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

[0015] Furthermore, if a method to selectively clear only an abnormally accumulated substance as a target, for example, abnormally accumulated proteins causing proteopathy, without causing inflammatory responses and consequent additional tissue damage as described above, is extensively applied, it will be possible to develop a method for selectively clearing abnormally accumulated proteins such as tau, a-synuclein, and huntingtin proteins. These drugs are expected to make a significant contribution to the treatment of not only neurological diseases such as Huntington's disease, but also overall diseases related to abnormal accumulation of certain substances .

[0016] DISCLOSURE Technical Problem

[0017] The present invention relates to fusion molecules having phagocytosis-inducing activity, and an object of the present invention is to suggest the possibility of using the fusion molecules for preventing or treating diseases caused by abnormal accumulation of target substances.

[0018] Objects to be achieved by the present invention are not limited to the above-mentioned object, and other objects not mentioned herein will be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the following description.

[0019] Technical Solution

[0020] One aspect of the present invention provides a fusion molecule having phagocytosis-inducing activity, the fusion molecule comprising: a first region that is able to bind to TAM receptor; and a second region that specifically binds to a target substance.

[0021] Here, the TAM receptor may specifically be at least one selected from the group consisting of Tyro3, Axl, and MerTK, which are able to induce phagocytosis by binding to a laminin G-like domain (or LG domain).

[0022] The first region may comprise Gas6, ProSl, Tubby, Tulpl, Gal3, or active fragments thereof. The type or range of the first region is not particularly limited as long as the first region has a conserved ability to induce phagocytosis by interaction with a TAM receptor. The first region may preferably be selected from Gas6, ProSl, or active fragments thereof .

[0023] More specifically, the first region may comprise a laminin G-like domain of Gas6 or ProSl, or an active fragment thereof, which contains a laminin G-like domain as a phagocytosis-related bridging molecule which is abundantly expressed in various tissue, and thus is able to induce phagocytosis through a TAM receptor.

[0024] Specifically, the laminin G-like domain may comprise an LG1 domain, an LG2 domain, or a combination thereof, and may preferably include both an LG1 domain and an LG2 domain, which are able to induce phagocytosis by binding to the TAM receptor .

[0025] The first region may be a peptide comprising the sequence of at least one of SEQ ID NO: 1 and SEQ ID NO: 2, or the sequence of at least one of SEQ ID NO: 3 and SEQ ID NO: 4. Preferably, the first region may be a peptide comprising the sequences of both SEQ ID NO: 1 and SEQ ID NO: 2, the sequences of both SEQ ID NO: 3 and SEQ ID NO: 4, and more preferably may be a peptide comprising the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 5 or SEQ ID NO: 6. The peptide comprising the sequence of any one of SEQ ID Nos above includes not only the amino acid sequence of the peptide but also an amino acid sequence variant thereof. The term "sequence variant" refers to a protein having a sequence in which one or more amino acid residues differ from the amino acid sequence. As long as the activity of the fusion molecule is maintained, any truncation, deletion, insertion, substitution, or a combination thereof in the final structure of the protein is possible. One example of the sequence variant is a form in which amino acid residues at sites not essential for activity are truncated or deleted, or amino acid residues at sites important for autoinhibition are substituted. In some cases, it may also be modified by phosphorylation, glycosylation, methylation, farnesylation, or the like. These sequence variations and modifications are more preferable when the function and / or stability (thermal stability, pH stability, structural stability, etc.) and / or solubility of the protein are increased by mutation in the amino acid sequence.

[0026] The method for mutagenesis of the amino acid sequence is based on a method of producing a nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleotide sequence corresponding to the amino acid sequence to be mutated by mutating a nucleotide sequence encoding the protein, and a method for obtaining the gene encoding the protein may be performed in vivo or in vitro using any mutagenesis technique well known in the art, for example, site-directed mutagenesis (Hutchinson et al., J. Biol. Chern., 253:6551, 1978; Zoller and Smith, DNA, 3:479488, 1984; Oliphant et al., Gene, 44:177, 1986; Hutchinson et al ., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 83:710, 1986), TAB linker (Pharmacia), PCR technique (Higuchi, 1989, "Using PCR to Engineer DNA" in PCR Technology: Principles and Applications for DNA Amplification, H. Erlich, ed., Stockton Press, Chapter 6, pp. 61-70), or the like.

[0027] In addition, when the first region comprises a laminin G-like domain of Gas6 or ProSl, or an active fragment thereof, the first region may not comprise a Gia domain. In this case, the first region may not recognize phosphatidylserine (PS), while the second region is able to induce phagocytosis by recognizing a target substance.

[0028] In addition, when the first region comprises a laminin G-like domain of Gas6 or ProSl, or an active fragment thereof, the first region does not comprise both the Gia domain and the EGF domain. In this case, it is possible not only to obtain technical effects by not comprising the abovementioned Gia domain, but also to increase the yield by suppressing aggregation in the process of purifying the fusion molecule.

[0029]

[0030] The target substance may be a substance that accumulates in living tissue, causing a disease. For example, it may be a substance accumulated in an affected (i.e., diseased) tissue of a patient. The substance accumulated in a disease may be protein. That is, the disease may be proteopathy, without being limited thereto. For example, the target substance may be amyloid. That is, the proteopathy may be amyloidosis. The target substance may be selected from abnormally accumulated substances listed in Table 1 below, and in this case, the disease may be a disease in which each 5 abnormally accumulated substance is detected. For example, the proteopathy may be selected from Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, and prion disease, and in this case, target substances may be abnormally accumulated proteins that cause the diseases. That is, the 10 target substances may be |3-amyloid, tau, a-synuclein, huntingtin, and prion proteins, respectively. ;0031] [Table 1] Abnormally accumulated substances Abbreviation Diseases Amyloid precursor protein-derived p-amyloid AP Alzheimer's disease, Hereditary cerebral haemorrhage with amyloidosis, etc. a-Synuclein AaSyn Parkinson's disease, Parkinson's dementia, dementia with Lewy bodies, multiple system atrophy, etc .

[0032]

[0033] The second region that specifically binds to the target substance may be selected from among an antibody, an active fragment thereof, an antibody-like protein, a peptide, an 5 aptamer, and a soluble receptor, and is not particularly limited as long as it specifically binds to the target substance .

[0034] Here, the antibody or active fragment thereof may be selected from among, for example, 1) immunoglobulins such as 10 IgGl, IgG2, IgG3 and IgG4; ii) native antibody fragments such as Fv, Fab, Fab', F(ab')2, VHH, VNAR, etc.; and iii) engineered antibodies such as scFv, dsFv, ds-scFv, (scFv)2, diabody, triabody, tetrabody, pentabody, etc. The antibody or active fragment thereof may be, for example, a Mab, Fab, 15 or single-chain variable fragment (scFv) based on an antibody that specifically binds to a corresponding target substance, or six complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) derived from the antibody. That is, the protein or active fragment thereof that specifically binds to the target substance comprises a portion necessary for an activity that specifically binds to the target substance, and the type or range thereof is not particularly limited as long as the protein or active fragment thereof is linked to the first region and does not cause an inflammatory response and synaptic damage. For example, the target substance may be beta-amyloid, and in this case, the protein or active fragment thereof that specifically binds to the target substance may comprise aducanumab or a single-chain variable fragment thereof. The second region comprise a Mab, Fab, or single-chain variable fragment based on six complementarity determining regions (CDRs) derived from any one selected from the group consisting of aducanumab, semorinemab, and cinpanemab.

[0035] The antibody or active fragment thereof may not comprise an Fc region, and preferably may comprise an Fc region variant that does not bind to an Fc receptor (particularly an Fey receptor). This Fc region variant may serve to improve properties such as purification.

[0036] The antibody-like protein refers to a protein scaffold capable of specifically binding to a target substance, like an antibody. Antibody-like proteins may be designed to have a size of about 2 to 20 kDa, which is smaller than antibodies (about 150 kDa on average) , and thus target a binding site that antibodies cannot reach. It is known that antibody-like proteins are more stable at high temperatures than antibodies and are much easier to synthesize using non-mammalian cells such as viruses and yeast or synthesize chemically, compared to antibodies.

[0037] As used herein, the term "aptamer" refers to a singlestranded DNA (ssDNA) or RNA having high specificity and affinity for a specific substance. Aptamers have a very high affinity for specific substances, are stable, may be synthesized in a relatively simple way, may be modified in various ways to increase the binding affinity thereof, and can target cells, proteins, and even small organic substances. Thus, the aptamers are characterized by having very high specificity and stability compared to antibodies that have already been developed. In addition, the aptamer may be produced through a known SELEX (Systematic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential enrichment) method. As this aptamer, an aptamer that specifically binds to, for example, betaamyloid, tau, or alpha-synuclein, may be produced through a known SELEX (Systematic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential enrichment) method and then linked to the first region, thereby producing the fusion molecule according to the present invention.

[0038] The aptamer of the present invention is not limited as long as it is able to specifically bind to beta-amyloid, tau, or alpha-synuclein, and bases that are used for the aptamer may be selected from among A, G, C, U, and deoxy forms thereof, unless otherwise specified.

[0039] In addition, the aptamer may be modified by linkage of at least one, selected from the group consisting of polyethylene glycol (PEG), inverted deoxythymidine (idT), locked nucleic acid (LNA), 2'-methoxy nucleoside, 2'-amino nucleoside, 2'F-nucleoside, amine linker, thiol linker, and cholesterol, at the 5'-end region, intermediate region, 3'-end region, or both ends thereof in order to increase the stability thereof. Inverted deoxythymidine (idT) is a molecule that is generally used to prevent nuclease degradation of an aptamer having weak nuclease resistance. In the case of a nucleic acid unit, the 3'-OH of the previous nucleotide is attached to the 5'-OH of the next nucleotide to form a chain, but in the case of idT, the 3'-OH of the previous nucleotide is attached to the 3'-OH of the next unit so that 5'-OH, not 3'-OH, is exposed. Thus, idT is a molecule that has the effect of inhibiting degradation by 3' exonuclease, a type of nuclease.

[0040] The soluble receptor of the present invention comprises a domain having an activity capable of binding to a target substance, that is, an endogenous ligand, wherein the domain may be one derived from an endogenous membrane receptor or an intracellular receptor, or a derivative thereof. In this case, the soluble receptor comprised in the second region of the fusion molecule of the present invention may preferably be one in which regions having activities other than binding to a target substance have been removed from the endogenous receptor.

[0041] In the present invention, the peptide, which may be the second region, means an entity other than the antibody or an active fragment thereof, antibody-like protein or soluble receptor among polypeptides having amino acids as monomers capable of binding specifically to a target substance .

[0042]

[0043] Since the fusion molecule according to the present invention induces phagocytosis through interaction with the TAM receptor (s), the phagocytosis may be induced in cells expressing the TAM receptor (s) . Phagocytosis generally means ingestion of cells or particles of 0.5 pm or more in size, and includes a process of tethering, engulfing, and degrading the cells or particles. In this case, phagocytosis forms a phagosome that surrounds the internalized cell or particle, and includes degradation within the phagolysosome by fusion of the phagosome and the lysosome. In phagocytosis, the process of cell death by apoptosis or necrosis is also referred to as efferocytosis.

[0044] The cells expressing the TAM receptor (s) may be at least one type of professional phagocytes, at least one type of non-professional phagocytes, or a combination thereof. Here, the professional phagocytes refer to cells whose main role is to remove dead cells and accumulated debris through phagocytosis, and examples thereof include macrophages, neutrophils, dendritic cells, and mast cells. Macrophages usually stay in each tissue that can become a path of infection, and in many cases, they are called different names for tissues, including, for example, adipose tissue macrophages, bone marrow or blood monocytes, hepatic Kupffer cells, lymph node sinus histiocytes, alveolar macrophages, connective tissue histiocytes or giant cells, microglia of the central nervous system, placental Hofbauer cells, renal intraglomerular mesangial cells, bone osteoclasts, epithelioid cells of granulomas, red pulp macrophages of the spleen, peritoneal macrophage of the peritoneal cavity, LysoMac of Peyer's patch, and the like. On the other hand, the non-professional phagocytes refer to cells that mainly perform functions specific to the tissue in which the phagocytes reside, but can perform phagocytosis when necessary, and examples thereof epithelial cells, endothelial cells, fibroblasts, mesenchymal cells, some tissue-specific cells, for example, astrocytes or oligodendrocyte of the central nervous system, retinal Muller glia, hepatocytes, muscular satellite cells, testicular Sertoli cells, etc., and some lymphocytes such as natural killer cells, large granular lymphocytes, eosinophils, basophils, B cells, etc. The fusion molecule according to the present invention is able to induce phagocytosis in phagocytes specific to a tissue in which a target substance to be cleared accumulates. For example, when abnormal proteins accumulated in the brain are to be cleared, the phagocytosis may be induced in astrocytes, microglia, oligodendrocytes, or combinations thereof. It may be induced, for example, by topically administering the fusion molecule according to the present invention to this tissue or by manipulating cells in the tissue to express and secrete the fusion molecule.

[0045] The induction of phagocytosis may not involve an inflammatory response. This enables clearance of the target substance without inducing an inflammatory response and tissue damage caused by an inflammatory response to be suppressed so that tissue dysfunction caused by accumulation of the target substance can be treated more safely than conventional techniques.

[0046]

[0047] The fusion molecule may further comprise a tag. When such a label is added to the fusion molecule, it may be used to check the purification, expression, action or mechanism of action of the fusion molecule.

[0048] Examples of the tag include, but are not limited to, His-tag, T7-tag, S-tag, FLAG-tag, Strep-tag, thioredoxin (Trx)-tag, His-patch thioredoxin-tag, lacZ (L-galactosidase)-tag, chloramphenicol acetyltransferase-tag, trpE-tag, avidin / streptavidin / Strep-tag, T7genel0-tag, staphylococcal protein A-tag, streptococcal protein G-tag, glutathione-S-transferase (GST)-tag, dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR)-tag, cellulose binding domains (CBDs)-tag, maltose binding protein (MBP)-tag, galactose-binding protein-tag, calmodulin binding protein (GBP)-tag, hemagglutinin influenza virus (HAI)-tag, HSV-tag, B-(VP7 protein region of bluetongue virus)-tag, polycysteine-tag, polyphenyalanine-tag, (Ala-Trp-Trp-Pro)n-tag, polyaspartic acid-tag, c-myc-tag, lac repressor-tag, and the like. The tag may be located at the N-terminus, C-terminus or internally of the target protein .

[0049] The fusion molecule may further comprise a signal peptide or leader sequence at the N-terminus. It is known that a signal peptide is a short peptide present at the N-terminus at the initial stage of protein synthesis toward the secretory pathway, and directs the intracellular localization of the corresponding protein, membrane topology (in the case of a membrane protein), and the like. The signal peptide may be cleaved during expression and extracellular secretion of the fusion molecule.

[0050] The above-mentioned first region, second region, tag, signal peptide, or regions having minimal functionality (e.g., LG1 and LG2 regions or scFv heavy chain variable region and light chain variable region) included in the fusion molecule may be linked together directly or by a linker comprising a short oligopeptide or polypeptide. In general, the linker may comprise 2 to 500 amino acid residues. The length or type of the linker is not particularly limited as long as the linker can link the above-described regions together so as to have the intended activity, thereby forming the fusion molecule. An example of the linker may be the commonly used oligopeptide linker (GGGGS)n, that is, a linker in which one or more Gly-Gly-Gly-Gly-Ser units are repeated. Other examples of the linker include, but are not limited to, (GSSGGS)n, KESGSVSSEQLAQFRSLD, EGKSSGSGSESKST, GSAGSAAGSGEF, (EAAAK)n, CRRRRRREAEAC, A(EAAAK)4ALEA(EAAAK)4A, GGGGGGGG, GGGGGG, AEAAAKEAAAAKA, PAPAP, (Ala-Pro)n, VSQTSKLTRAETVFPDV, PLGLWA, TRHRQPRGWE, AGNRVRRSVG, RRRRRRRR, GFLG, and GSSGGSGSSGGSGGGDEADGSRGSQKAGVDE.

[0051]

[0052] Another aspect of the present invention provides a nucleic acid molecule encoding the fusion molecule, and an expression vector containing the same.

[0053] As described above, the nucleic acid molecule sequence encoding the fusion molecule may be mutated by substitution, deletion, insertion, or a combination thereof, of one or more nucleotide residues, as long as it encodes a protein having an activity equivalent thereto.

[0054] The nucleic acid molecule sequence encoding the fusion molecule may be isolated from nature or artificially produced through synthesis or genetic recombination. The nucleic acid molecule sequence encoding the fusion molecule is operatively linked to an expression vector capable of expressing the same.

[0055] The term "expression vector" is a vector capable of expressing a protein or RNA of interest by introducing a nucleic acid sequence encoding a gene of interest into a suitable host cell, and refers to a gene construct containing essential regulatory elements operably linked to express the gene insert. Such expression vectors include all vectors such as plasmid vectors, cosmid vectors, bacteriophage vectors, and viral vectors.

[0056] A suitable expression vector has expression control elements such as a promoter, a start codon, a stop codon, a polyadenylation signal and an enhancer. The start codon and the stop codon are generally considered to be part of a nucleic acid sequence encoding a protein, and the sequence encoding the protein is designed to be in frame so as to be operable in the vector. The promoter may be constitutive or inducible. In addition, a conventional expression vector contains a selectable marker. Operational linkage with the expression vector can be performed using genetic recombination techniques well known in the art, and sitespecific DNA cleavage and ligation can be performed using enzymes generally known in the art.

[0057] The expression vector may preferably be configured to express the fusion molecule in a host cell for isolation and purification of the fusion molecule or such that the vector may be introduced into a cell in vivo and the corresponding cell may express and secrete the fusion molecule. For the purpose of introducing into cells in vivo, the vector may preferably be a non-integrating vector, that is, a vector that is not integrated into the genome of a host cell.

[0058]

[0059] Still another aspect of the present invention provides a cell expressing the fusion molecule.

[0060] The cells may be transformed to contain the nucleic acid molecule or an expression vector containing the same, and the "transformation" may be performed using suitable standard techniques selected depending on the host cell as known in the art, including any method of introducing the nucleic acid molecule into an organism, cell, tissue, or organ. These methods include, but are not limited to, electroporation, protoplast fusion, calcium phosphate (CaPCt) precipitation, calcium chloride (CaC12) precipitation, agitation using silicon carbide fibers, agrobacterium- mediated transformation, PEG-, dextran sulfate-, lipofectamine-,     and desiccation / inhibition-mediated transformation methods.

[0061] Examples of the host cells include, but are not limited to, prokaryotic host cells such as Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Streptomyces, Pseudomonas (e.g., Pseudomonas putida), Proteus mirabilis, or Staphylococcus (e.g., Staphylocus carnosus). Other examples of the host cell include fungal cells such as Aspergillus, yeast cells, including Pichia pastoris, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Schizosaccharomyces, and Neurospora crassa, lower eukaryotic cells, or cells derived from higher eukaryotes including insect cells, plant cells, or mammalian cells.

[0062] After the fusion molecule is expressed in the cells, it may be isolated and purified using conventional biochemical isolation techniques, such as treatment with a protein precipitating agent (salting out method), centrifugation, sonication, ultrafiltration, dialysis, or various chromatography such as molecular sieve chromatography (gel filtration), adsorption chromatography, ion exchange chromatography, and affinity chromatography, which are generally used in combination in order to isolate proteins with high purity (Sambrook et al., Molecular Cloning: A laboratory Manual, 2nd Ed., Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press(1989); Deuscher, M., Guide to Protein Purification Methods Enzymology, Vol. 182. Academic Press. Inc., San Diego, CA (1990)) .

[0063]

[0064] Yet another aspect of the present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating a disease caused by accumulation of the target substance in living tissue, the pharmaceutical composition containing the fusion molecule or the expression vector. Here, the composition may be administered topically to a site where the substance that causes the disease, that is, the target substance, accumulates.

[0065] Still yet another aspect of the present invention provides a method for preventing or treating proteopathy, the method comprising a step of administering to a subject a pharmaceutically effective amount of the fusion molecule.

[0066] A further aspect of the present invention provides the use of the fusion molecule for manufacture of a medicament for preventing or treating proteopathy.

[0067] The fusion molecule, which is an active ingredient in the pharmaceutical composition, is contained in a "pharmaceutically effective amount". The term "pharmaceutically effective amount" means an amount sufficient to achieve the above-mentioned efficacy or activity of the fusion molecule.

[0068] The pharmaceutical composition may be administered orally or parenterally, preferably parenterally. More preferably, it may be administered topically to a tissue in which the target substance to be cleared accumulates.

[0069] As used herein, the term "parenteral administration" includes subcutaneous injection, intravenous, intramuscular, intrasternal injection or infusion techniques.

[0070] When the pharmaceutical composition is prepared as an injectable formulation, it may be prepared as the injectable formulation a conventional method known in the art. The injectable formulation may be in a form dispersed in a sterile medium so that it may be administered directly to a patient or may be in a form that may be administered after being dispersed in distilled water for injection at an appropriate concentration.

[0071] When the pharmaceutical composition is formulated for oral administration, it may contain one or more carriers selected from among diluents, lubricants, binders, disintegrants, sweeteners, stabilizers, and preservatives, and may contain one or more additives selected from among flavorings, vitamins, and antioxidants.

[0072] Techniques necessary for formulation of the pharmaceutical composition, and pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, additives, etc. are widely known to those skilled in the art (see, for example, the Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients, 4th edition, Rowe et al., Eds., American Pharmaceuticals Association (2003); Remington: the Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 20th edition, Gennaro, Ed., Lippincott Williams & Wilkins (2000); Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences (19th ed., 1995)).

[0073] The appropriate dosage of the pharmaceutical composition may vary depending on factors such as formulation method, administration mode, patient's age, weight, sex, medical condition, diet, administration time, administration route, excretion rate, and response sensitivity. The dosage of the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention is 0.0001 to 1,000 pg / kg body weight for an adult.

[0074] Advantageous Effects

[0075] The present invention relates to a fusion molecule having phagocytosis-inducing activity, which can solve the problem of tissue damage caused by activation of an inflammatory response, which occurs in the prior art. Accordingly, the fusion molecule is able to effectively clear abnormally accumulated substances such as beta-amyloid, tau, alpha-synuclein, huntingtin or prion protein, and thus may be used to prevent or treat diseases caused by these abnormally accumulated substances, for example, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, or prion disease. The fusion molecule may be administered to a patient in the form of a purified fusion molecule or a gene therapy vector capable of expressing and secreting the fusion molecule when introduced into a cell.

[0076] However, it should be understood that effects of the present invention are not limited to the above effects, and include all effects that may be inferred from the configuration of the invention described in the detailed description or claims.

[00110] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to examples and experimental examples. However, the following examples and experimental examples are illustrative only, and the scope of the invention is not limited thereto.

[00111]

[00112] Preparation Example 1. Preparation of Gas6-based fusion molecule having beta-amyloid clearance activity (I): beta-amyloid binding region in the form of scFv

[00113] To prepare a beta-amyloid (A|3)-specif ic chimeric phagocytosis inducer based on Gas6 protein, the Gia domain, which recognizes PS (phosphatidylserine) in apoptotic cells, was first removed, and a single-chain variable fragment (scFv) of aducanumab, an amyloid-specific antibody, was introduced at that position [«A|3-Gas6 (E) ] .

[00114] In addition, for the efficiency of protein production, the EGF repeat domain present in the internal residues of the Gas6 protein was also removed and an scFv of aducanumab was introduced at that position, thereby preparing «A|3-Gas6 5 (FIG. 1) .

[00115] In addition, as controls for verifying beta-amyloidspecific binding of the scFv of aducanumab, «FITC-Gas6(E) and «FITC-Gas6, each introduced with an E2 scFv that selectively recognizes FITC, instead of the scFv of 10 aducanumab, were prepared.

[00116] Table 2 below shows amino acid sequences related to the preparation of the fusion molecules, and Table 3 below shows nucleotide sequences related to the preparation of the fusion molecules (the underlined sequences are flag tags). 15

[00130] To prepare a beta-amyloid (A|3)-specif ic chimeric phagocytosis inducer based on ProSl protein, the Gia domain and the EGF repeat domain were first removed, and a single-5 chain variable fragment (scFv) of aducanumab, a beta-amyloid specific antibody, was introduced at that position (aA|3- ProSl).

[00134] To prepare gas6 protein-based beta-amyloid (A|3) - specific chimera phagocytosis inducer, the Gia domain, which recognizes PS (phosphatidylserine) in apoptotic cells, was first removed, and an antigen-binding fragment (Fab) or monoclonal antibody (Mab) of the beta-amyloid-specific 10 antibody aducanumab was introduces at that position (aA|3 [Fab]-Gas6, and aA|3 [Mab]-Gas6) .

[00138]

[00139] Experimental Example 1. Gas6-based fusion molecule targeting beta-amyloid (I): beta-amyloid binding domain in scFv form 5

[00140] 1-1. Analysis of expression of fusion molecule in transfected cells

[00141] After plasmid transfection into HEK293 cells, the expression of the fusion molecule containing the Flag tag according to Preparation Example 1 analyzed by Western blot analysis using the Flag tag, and the results are shown in FIG. 2.

[00142]

[00143] 1-2. Analysis of beta-amyloid specific binding affinity of prepared fusion molecules

[00144] To verify whether each of «A|3-Gas6 (E) ,  «A|3-Gas6, aFITC-Gas6(E), and «FITC-Gas6 can selectively recognize beta-amyloid and FITC, the culture broth secreted from the HEK293 transfected with each plasmid was collected and subjected to an experiment using beta-amyloid oligomer and FITC-conjugated beads. The results showed that «A|3-Gas6 (E) and «A|3-Gas6 recognized only beta-amyloid oligomer beads, and «FITC-Gas6 (E) and «FITC-Gas6 recognized only FITC beads, thereby inducing phagocytosis, as shown in FIG. 4.

[00145] Although «A|3-Gas6  (E) and «A|3-Gas6 were shown to exhibit similar activities, it was found that «A|3-Gas6 obtained by additionally removing the EGF domain of Gas6 could be obtained in high yield without aggregation in the protein purification process. Thus, «A|3-Gas6 was used in subsequent experiments.

[00146]

[00147] 1-3. Analysis of mechanism of action of prepared fusion molecule

[00148] (1) Analysis using cell line

[00149] An in vitro A|3 engulfment assay was developed, in which beta-amyloid oligomers are conjugated with a pH indicator and hence can emit red fluorescence in intracellular lysosomes when they are uptaken by phagocytosis.

[00150] As a result of performing the in vitro A|3 engulfment assay with HMC3 cells, a human microglial cell line expressing TAM receptors, it was shown that beta-amyloid oligomers were selectively cleared by «A|3-Gas6 (FIGS. 5 and 6) .

[00151] In particular, in an experiment where cells were treated additionally with an antibody that interferes with the function of TAM receptors, it was confirmed that aA|3-Gas6 cleared beta-amyloid oligomers mainly through Axl among Tyro3, Mertk, and Axl (FIGS. 7 to 9). In fact, when Axl was removed from HMC3 cells, the activity of «A|3-Gas6 significantly decreased. In addition, THP-1, which is a human monocyte cell line that does not express TAM receptors, did not show an increase in beta-amyloid clearance by «A|3-Gas6, while THP-Axl cells overexpressing Axl exhibited a significantly increased ability to clear beta-amyloid fibrils in a manner dependent on «A|3-Gas6.

[00152] Next, since THP-Axl cells express both Axl and Fc receptors, the degree of inflammatory response induced upon beta-amyloid uptake by each of «A|3-Gas6 and aducanumab was analyzed in those cells. To this end, the NF-kB reporter was first expressed in THP-Axl cells, and each of a control, aA|3- Gas6 and aducanumab was added to the cells together with beta-amyloid oligomers. As a result, it was confirmed that, when aducanumab was added, the expression of the NF-kB reporter significantly increased, but when «A|3-Gas6 was added, the NF-kB reporter was expressed at or below the control level (FIG. 10) . In addition, as a result of measuring the secreted protein levels of IL-lb, IL-6 and TNF, which are the three most representative inflammatory cytokines, it was shown that, when THP-Axl cells were treated with aducanumab, the protein levels of the inflammatory cytokines in the treated cells significantly increased compared to those in the control group (FIG. 11) . In contrast, importantly, the levels of these inflammatory cytokines in the cells treated with «A|3-Gas6 did not increase compared to those in the control group. This is a key result that, as our hypothesis suggests, the «A|3-Gas6 fusion phagocytosis-inducing protein does not induce an inflammatory response when phagocytosing a target substance through a TAM receptor, which is similar to recognition and efferocytosis of naturally apoptotic cells.

[00153] In addition, unlike aducanumab, «A|3-Gas6 increased the expression of Twistl / 2 gene, which is known as a mechanism of suppressing inflammatory responses (FIG. 12).

[00154]

[00155] (2) Analysis using astrocytes and microglia

[00156] To examine whether astrocytes and microglia, which are cells expressing TAM receptors in the brain, can clear betaamyloid through «A|3-Gas6, primary astrocytes and microglia obtained from mouse brains were separately purified and then cultured. Then, each of purified «A|3-Gas6 and aducanumab was added to the cells together with beta-amyloid fibrils, and the degree of clearance of beta-amyloid fibrils was measured in real time.

[00157] The results showed that «A|3-Gas6 increased the betaamyloid clearing ability of microglia in a concentrationdependent manner, which is similar to the results obtained in HMC3 which is a cell line expressing Axl (FIG. 13) . Importantly, it was shown that, when aducanumab was added, the beta-amyloid clearing ability of astrocytes did not change at all, but when «A|3-Gas6 was added, the beta-amyloid clearing ability of astrocytes significantly increased in a concentration-dependent manner (FIG. 14). This suggests that «A|3-Gas6 significantly enhances the beta-amyloid clearing ability of astrocytes, which was previously insignificant, because astrocytes do not express Fc receptors but express TAM receptors .

[00158]

[00159] Each of «A|3-Gas6 and aducanumab was added to astrocytes and the microglia cell line BV2 together with beta-amyloid fibrils to increase beta-amyloid uptake, and then the mRNA levels of TNF, IL-la and IL-lb in each cell line were measured to determine the degree of inflammatory responses (FIGS. 15 and 16). As a result, similar to the results obtained in the cell lines, it was shown that, when the cells were treated with aducanumab, the levels of transcripts and proteins of the above inflammatory cytokines in the astrocytes and BV2 cells significantly increased compared to those in the control group, but when the cells were treated with «A|3-Gas6, the levels of these inflammatory cytokines in the cells did not increase compared to those in the control group.

[00160] As described above, it has been found that the use of the «A|3-Gas6 fusion phagocytosis inducer may be a groundbreaking method of effectively clearing beta-amyloid plaques accumulated in the patient's brain, through astrocytes and microglia without causing an inflammatory response, which is a serious side effect of existing monoclonal antibody therapeutics. This could be a very encouraging result that can significantly improve current treatment strategies.

[00161]

[00162] 1-4. Evaluation of in vivo efficacy

[00163] (1) Efficacy according to introduction of fusion molecule or expression vector containing the same

[00164] 5XFAD mice were used as Alzheimer's disease model mice. Since 5XFAD mice simultaneously express 5 genes with mutations, the onset at which beta-amyloid plaques are generated in the mice is early, and pathological symptoms caused by beta-amyloid plaques can be studied from 3 to 4 months of age regardless of aging.

[00165] To verify the effect of «A|3-Gas6 in vivo through the 5XFAD model, «A|3-Gas6 was delivered to the brain in two different ways. Through previous studies, it is known that aducanumab is not delivered well to the brain by intravascular injection or intraperitoneal injection even in Alzheimer's disease model mice. Thus, to accurately compare and analyze the effects of «A|3-Gas6 with aducanumab, 1) direct cannulation was performed in the mouse brain, and each of purified «A|3-Gas6 and aducanumab was injected once a day into the ventricle of the brain for 3 weeks, and 2) each of «A|3-Gas6 and aducanumab was made in lentiviral form to be expressed in the hippocampus of the mouse through stereotaxic injection. Importantly, it was found that the number of betaamyloid plaques significantly decreased both when the purified «A|3-Gas6 protein was added and when the gene was expressed in lentiviral form (FIGS. 17 and 18).

[00166] In addition, by quantifying the levels of beta-amyloid in lysosomes of microglia and astrocytes after «A|3-Gas6 was delivered to the brain in the form of protein or virus, it was shown that the ability to clear beta-amyloid significantly increased in both types of cells (FIGS. 19 to 22) .

[00167] This suggests that, since TAM receptors are expressed in both microglia and astrocytes, microglia and astrocytes can recognize and clear beta-amyloid when «A|3-Gas6 is introduced therein, which is similar to the results of the in vitro studies.

[00168] (2) Comparison of effects of antibody therapeutics and fusion molecule of the present invention

[00169] It is known that, in Alzheimer's disease, synapses are indiscriminately removed by microglia, resulting in a decrease in the number of synapses. Surprisingly, this phenomenon was aggravated when aducanumab was delivered to Alzheimer's model mice, but when «A|3-Gas6 was expressed in a viral form, abnormal removal of synapses by microglia was restored to a normal level (FIGS. 23 and 24).

[00170] In addition, as in the results from a cognitive and memory test for remembering the shape or location of a new object in Alzheimer's model mice according to the protocol shown in FIG. 25, it was confirmed that the expression of «A|3-Gas6 exhibited significantly superior cognitive and memory recovery effects compared to aducanumab (FIG. 26).

[00171]

[00172] In addition, to verify whether the chimeric phagocytic protein of the present invention is effective in clearing various target substances, phagocytosis-inducing proteins specific for tau and alpha-synuclein (aSyn) in addition to beta-amyloid were prepared as described in Preparation Examples 2 and 3, and the target substance clearing effects thereof were tested following protocols in Experimental Examples 2 and 3.

[00173]

[00174] Experimental Example 2. Gas6-based fusion molecule targeting tau

[00175] An in vitro tau engulfment assay was developed, in which tau oligomers are conjugated with a pH indicator and hence can emit red fluorescence in intracellular lysosomes when they are uptaken by phagocytosis. HMC3 cells, a human microglial cell line expressing TAM receptors, were treated with a culture medium expressing the phagocytosis-inducing protein [«Tau-Gas6] according to Preparation Example 2, and in vitro tau engulfment assay was performed. As the result shown in FIG. 27, it was confirmed that tau oligomers were selectively cleared by «Tau-Gas6.

[00176]

[00177] Experimental Example 3. Gas6-based fusion molecule targeting alpha-synuclein

[00178] An in vitro aSyn engulfment assay was developed, in which alpha-synuclein (aSyn) oligomers are conjugated with a pH indicator and hence can emit red fluorescence in intracellular lysosomes when they are uptaken by phagocytosis. HMC3 cells, a human microglial cell line expressing TAM receptors, were treated with a culture medium expressing the phagocytosis-inducing protein [aaSyn-Gas6] according to Preparation Example 3, and in vitro tau engulfment assay was performed. As the result shown in FIG. 27, it was confirmed that aSyn oligomers were selectively cleared by aaSyn-Gas6.

[00179]

[00180] Experimental Example 4. ProSl-based fusion molecule targeting beta-amyloid

[00181] Next, to verify whether the chimeric phagocytosisinducing protein prepared using a ligand for TAM receptor other than Gas6 is also effective, «A|3-ProSl was prepared as described in Preparation Example 4 using the ProSl ligand, and the efficacy thereof was evaluated. To this end, primary-cultured mouse astrocytes expressing TAM receptors were treated with a culture medium expressing «A|3-ProSl, and the in vitro A|3 engulfment assay used in Experimental Example 1-3 was performed. As the result shown in FIG. 29, it was confirmed that beta-amyloid oligomers were selectively cleared by «A|3-ProSl.

[00184] Next, to verify whether various target-binding regions other than scFv may be used as target protein-binding domains in the preparation of chimeric phagocytosis-inducing proteins, phagocytosis-inducing proteins were prepared according to Preparation Example 5 using an antigen-binding fragment (Fab) or a complete-form monoclonal antibody (Mab) instead of an scFv and were subjected to an experiment (aA|3 [Fab]-Gas6 and aA|3 [Mab]-Gas6) . To this end, HMC3 cells, a human microglial cell line expressing TAM receptors, were treated with a culture medium expressing each of aA|3[Fab]-Gas6 and aA|3 [Mab]-Gas6, and the in vitro A|3 engulfment assay used in Experimental Example 1-3 was performed. As the results shown in FIGS. 30 and 31, it was confirmed that betaamyloid oligomers were selectively cleared by each of aA|3 [Fab]-Gas6 and aA|3 [Mab]-Gas6 .
