1 / 53 “ANTI-TL1A ANTIBODY OR ANTIGEN-BINDING FRAGMENT THEREOF, ISOLATED POLYNUCLEOTIDE, NUCLEIC ACID CONSTRUCTION, CELL AND PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITION FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[001] The present invention relates to the field of antibody therapies, specifically to an anti-TL1A antibody, its method of preparation and uses. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[002] Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a specific chronic inflammatory condition of the intestine, comprising Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). The etiology and pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease remain obscure, although it is widely recognized that it arises from the interaction of multiple factors, including abnormal immune regulation of the intestinal mucosa, persistent intestinal infection, impairment of the integrity of the intestinal mucosal barrier, and genetic and environmental influences. Both innate and adaptive immune responses in the intestinal mucosa contribute to the development of IBD lesions, with abnormal mucosal immune responses constituting a key factor in mucosal tissue damage.
[003] The TNF 1A ligand (also known as tumor necrosis factor superfamily member 15 [TNFSF15]) belongs to the TNF ligand superfamily and, like other members, forms a homotrimeric complex. TL1A is a type II transmembrane protein that exists in both membrane-bound and soluble forms, with two distinct receptors: DR3 and soluble decoy receptor 3 (DcR3). DR3, also known as APO3, LARD, or WSL1, belongs to the tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFRSF) superfamily. TL1A is a ligand for DR3; upon binding, it induces the activation of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), promoting Petition 870250088681, dated 09 / 30 / 2025, p. 16 / 90 2 / 53 thus the transcription of inflammatory cytokines and activating apoptotic proteases, exerting pro-inflammatory and pro-apoptotic effects; DcR3 binds competitively to TL1A, thus attenuating the generation of co-stimulatory signals from T cells and exerting anti-apoptotic effects, along with suppression of the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines.
[004] Recent studies reveal that TL1A promotes inflammation and fibrosis of the intestinal mucosa, influencing the activation and proliferation of T cells in the intestinal epithelial lamina propria, promoting Th1 cell polarization and effector functions, and positively regulating IFN-γ expression. In parallel, TL1A acts on Th17 cells to increase IL-17 secretion, inducing intestinal mucosal dysregulation and triggering inflammatory responses. Chronic inflammation serves as the main initiator of intestinal fibrosis, further activating intestinal fibroblasts to produce excessive extracellular matrix (ECM), ultimately leading to fibrosis formation. Consequently, TL1A may promote chronic intestinal fibrosis associated with experimental colitis by regulating IL-17 and IFN-γ.The anti-TL1A antibody effectively inhibits TL1A-induced secretion of IFN-γ and TNF-α by human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), while simultaneously suppressing TL1A-induced apoptosis. Therefore, it can be used to treat inflammatory bowel diseases and related conditions. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[00106] Experimental female Balb / c mice, aged 6–8 weeks. After acquisition, mice were housed in the laboratory environment for one week, acclimated to a 12 / 12 hour light / dark cycle, maintained at 20–25 °C and humidity levels of 40–60%. Balb / c mice were routinely immunized with the human TL1A-His protein expressed in implementation example 1.1 as an immunogen. A dose of 50 μg per mouse in 0.2 ml was administered intraperitoneally (IP) in 3 immunizations on days 0, 14, and 28. Petition 870250088681, dated 09 / 30 / 2025, p. 43 / 90 29 / 53 Blood samples were collected on days 21 and 35 to detect antibody titers in mouse serum using the ELISA method. After the 3 immunizations, mice with high serum antibody titers were selected. These mice were stimulated with human TL1A-His protein (50 μg / mouse / 0.2 ml) by intraperitoneal (IP) injection. 3 to 4 days later, spleens were harvested for fusion experiments. a. Preparation and selection of hybridoma cells
[00107] Four days after final immunization, mouse splenocytes were fused with SP2 / 0 mouse myeloma cells via PEG fusion using standard hybridoma protocols. The fused cells were uniformly suspended in complete medium, defined as RPMI 1640-GLUMAX supplemented with 1% penicillin-streptomycin, 20% FBS (fetal bovine serum), and 1x HAT. The fused cells were seeded at 4 χ¹⁰⁴ cells / 200 μL per well in 60 χ¹⁶ well plates. After 712 days, the supernatants were collected, and hybridoma wells exhibiting positive binding activity to human TL1A were selected by ELISA.
[00108] The ELISA method for screening hybridoma wells positive for human TL1A binding activity is as follows: Dilute TL1A-His in PBS buffer to 1 μg / mL. Add 100 μL per well to the plate and incubate overnight at 4 °C. The next day, discard the supernatant. Add 5% skimmed milk powder and block at 37 °C for 1 hour. Wash the plate 3 times with PBST and reserve. The hybridoma supernatant collected sequentially to the blocked plate is added at 100 μL per well and incubated at 37 °C for 1 hour. Wash the plate 3 times with PBST, the HRP-labeled goat anti-mouse IgG secondary antibody is added and incubated at 37 °C for 30 minutes. After 3 washes with PBST, the residual liquid is dried on absorbent paper. Add 100 Petition 870250088681, dated 09 / 30 / 2025, p. 44 / 90 30 / 53 pL of TMB is added to each well and incubated at room temperature (20±5 °C) in the dark for 5 minutes. The substrate reaction is stopped by adding 50 pL of 2M H2SO4 stopping solution to each well. The OD value at 450 nm is read using a microplate reader to analyze the binding capacity of the antibody that binds to TL1A. Hybridoma cell lines obtained in whole medium containing serum are expanded and selected. Cells are centrifuged and transferred to serum-free Hybridoma-SFM medium at a density of 1-2 χ¹⁰⁶ cells / ml. They are cultured for one week at 37 °C with 8% CO₂. The culture supernatant is centrifuged to collect. It is purified by protein G affinity chromatography to obtain the human anti-TL1A monoclonal antibody protein. Through screening, 60 hybridoma cell lines were obtained. All antibodies obtained from the hybridoma cell line of the present invention can be produced by genetic engineering methods.
[00109] 1.4 Murine antibody binding capacity to human TL1A-His protein
[00110] An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to determine the binding capacity of the murine antibody to the human TL1A-His protein. The specific method is as follows:
[00111] The TL1A-His protein was diluted to 1 pg / mL in PBS buffer, with 100 pL per well added to the plate and incubated overnight at 4 °C. The plate was then blocked with 5% skimmed milk powder and incubated at 37 °C for 1 hour; after washing the plate 3 times with PBST, an 11-fold serial dilution of laboratory-prepared anti-human mouse TL1A antibody in 1% BSA-PBS buffer was added, starting with 10 pg / mL. 1% BSA-PBS was used as a blank control. 100 pL per well was added to the pre-coated TL1A-His plate and incubated at 37 °C for one hour; the plate was washed 3 times with PBST. Petition 870250088681, dated 09 / 30 / 2025, page 45 / 90 31 / 53 was treated with HRP-labeled secondary antibody (goat IgG anti-mouse) and incubated at 37 °C for 30 minutes. After washing the plate 3 times with PBST, the residual liquid was dried as much as possible with absorbent paper. 100 μL of TMB was added to each well. At room temperature (20±5 °C) and protected from light for 5 minutes, the substrate reaction was stopped by adding 50 μL of 2 M H2SO4 stopping solution to each well. The optical density (OD) value at 450 nm was read using a microplate reader to analyze the binding capacity of the antibody to human TL1A-His. The data obtained were analyzed using GraphPad Prism 9 software for adjustment. The results are shown in Figures 1A, 1B, 1C.

[00112] 1.5 Assay of murine antibody blocking activity against TL1A protein binding in stable 293FT-DR3 cell lines
[00113] The present implementation example used fluorescence-activated cell screening (FACS) to determine the antibody's blocking activity against the binding of 293FT-DR3 to the human TL1A protein.
[00114] This experiment used 293FT-DR3 cells (a genetically modified cell line constructed in the laboratory using an expression vector to express high levels of human DR3) as target cells. TL1A was labeled with Alexa Fluor™ 647 NHS Ester reagent (Thermo Fisher).

After centrifugation to remove the supernatant, purified mouse anti-DR3 antibody (12 μg / ml) was serially diluted 3 times in 11 gradients using 1% BSA-PBS. A 1% BSA-PBS solution served as a blank control. In each well, 100 μl of antigen were taken and carefully mixed with 20 μl of fluorescent protein TL1A-His-647 (prepared internally, final concentration of 100 ng / ml). Incubated at 37 °C for 30 minutes. Subsequently, 293FT-DR3 cell cultures were removed in 100 μl of the mixture, incubated at 4 °C for 1 hour, washed twice with 1% BSA-PBS, and then removed in 200 μl of PBS. The blocking activity of the mouse antibody against the binding of this cell to the TL1A-his protein was determined by flow cytometry.The data obtained were analyzed using GraphPad Prism 9 software for fitting. The results are shown in Figures 2A, 2B, and 2C. The results indicate that most murine antibodies specifically block the binding between DR3 and the TL1A-his protein on the surface of 293FT cells, with IC50 values as shown in Tables 2-1 to 2-3.

[00139] Implementation Example 3: Determination of the affinity dissociation constant KD for humanized antibody
[00140] Using the Biacore 8K molecular interaction analyzer, the kinetic capture parameters for the dissociation of the humanized antibody candidate 72851 and the humanized antibody candidate 31122, along with the positive control antibody PRA023 and the TL1A-his antigen, were determined. The antibodies were diluted to 2 μg / ml in HBS-EP+ buffer, pH 7.4, and captured on a protein A chip. The antigen was diluted in HBS-EP+ buffer, pH 7.4, and 6 concentration gradients up to 50 nM were prepared for antibody binding. Dissociation was measured in HBS-EP+ buffer, pH 7.4. The experimental results are shown in Table 3, demonstrating that the humanized antibody candidates 72851 and 31122 exhibit superior affinity for TLIA-his compared to the positive control antibody PRA023.

[00142] Implementation Example 4: Optimization of the Physicochemical Properties of the Humanized Antibody 31122
[00143] Due to the high glycosylated modification and charge heterogeneity of the humanized antibody 31122, a mutant library was constructed by introducing single-point saturation mutations at potential glycosylation sites and deamidation sites in the CDR sequences of the variable regions of the heavy chain, along with multiple stacked advantageous mutations (with the constant regions of the light and heavy chains unchanged). Through ELISA affinity assays and capillary isoelectric focusing, candidate antibodies exhibiting superior affinity and charge heterogeneity compared to the parental antibody 31122 were selected.

[00160] Implementation Example 5: Experiment inhibiting TL1A-DR3 binding with anti-TL1A antibody
[00161] This implementation example used fluorescence-activated cell screening (FACS) to evaluate the effectiveness of anti-TL1A antibody blocking against the interaction between TL1A and its cell surface receptor DR3. The target cells used were 293FT-DR3 cells, a modified cell line expressing high levels of human DR3, constructed in our laboratory. The DR3 sequence used as an antigen was obtained from the UniProt database (Entry: Q93038), with the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID No.: 32.

[00163] The TL1A-his antigen is conjugated with Alexa Fluor™ 647 fluorescent dye (purchased from Invitrogen, catalog number A20006) and reserved. The fluorescently labeled antigen, TL1A-his-647, is diluted to a concentration of 200 ng / ml using 1% BSA-PBS; the anti-TL1A antibody should be diluted to 200 nM in 1% BSA-PBS. Four dilutions are performed to create eight concentration gradients. 200 ng / ml of TL1A-His-647 was added to the antibody at different concentrations, incubated at 4°C for 1 hour, and then added to 293FT-DR3 cell plates (1x10⁵ cells / well) containing cell wash supernatant. The cells were incubated at 4 °C for 1 hour and then washed twice with PBS to remove unbound antigen. Finally, the cells were resuspended in 200 μE of PBS. The mean fluorescence intensity was measured by flow cytometry, and the data obtained were analyzed using GraphPad Prism 9 software.The results are shown in Figure 4. Experimental results indicate that candidate antibodies 72851, 31122, 311V25, 311V31, 311V34, 311V25-7, 311V31-7, 311V34-7 and the positive control antibody PRA023 block TL1A binding to DR3, with the candidate antibodies exhibiting superior blocking capacity compared to PRA023.

[00165] After binding to its DR3 receptor, TL1A activates the intracellular NF-κB signaling pathway and triggers apoptosis. The present implementation example used a TF-1 cell line that stably expresses luciferase under NF-κB regulation (TF-1-NF-κB-Luc cells) to evaluate the inhibition of anti-TL1A antibody of TL1A-induced NF-κB pathway activation.
[00166] TL1A-his protein is diluted in RPMI 1640 + 10% FBS medium to 800 ng / mL (final concentration 200 ng / mL) and then 25 μL is added to each well of a 96-well flat-bottom plate. Anti-TL1A antibody is diluted to 200 nM in RPMI 1640 medium + 10% FBS, creating an 8-point concentration gradient through double dilutions. 25 μL is added to each well containing TL1A-his, maintaining a final antibody concentration of 50 nM throughout the process. The sample is centrifuged, and TF-1-NF-kB-Luc cells are counted.Cell density is adjusted, and 50 μL per well (1 χ¹⁰⁵ cells / well) is added to the 96-well plate, incubating at 37 °C for 24 hours. The following day, the cell plates should be removed and allowed to equilibrate at room temperature for approximately 15 minutes. 100 μL of Bio-Lite Luciferase (acquired from Novazeen Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Nanjing, China; Catalog No.: DD1201-02) is added to each well. After 10 minutes, the emitted light is measured in RLU (Relative Light Unit) using a microplate reader. Data analysis was performed using GraphPad Prism9 software, with plotting and IC50 calculation. The results are shown in Figure 5. Experimental results indicate that the candidate antibodies 72851, 311V25-7, 311V31-7 and the positive control antibody PRA023 effectively inhibit NF-κB activated by TL1A. The inhibitory potency of the candidate antibodies surpasses that of the positive control antibody PRA023.

[00168] TL1A is an effective and specific inhibitor of endothelial cell growth, inducing apoptosis through binding to DR3. The present implementation example used fluorescence-activated cell screening (FACS) to determine the inhibition of TL1A-induced TF-1 cell apoptosis by anti-TL1A antibody.
[00169] TF-1 cells were centrifuged and counted, then adjusted to an appropriate density for plating in 3599 cell plates at 1 χ¹⁰⁵ cells per well, with 100 μE per well. TL1A-his was diluted to 800 ng / mL in 1640 medium (containing 10% FBS and 1% PS). In parallel, cyclohexylimide (CHX, acquired from CST, Catalog No.: 2112) was added to a final concentration of 40 μg / mL. After thorough mixing, 50 μE was added to each well of the aforementioned 3599 cell plate. The positive control antibody PRA023 and other humanized TL1A antibodies should be diluted in culture medium to 800 nM and then serially diluted 3 times to produce nine concentration gradients. 50 μE of each dilution is added to the 3599 cell plate mentioned above. The final concentration of TL1A-his was 200 ng / mL, the final concentration of CHX was 10 μg / mL, and the final concentration of TL1A antibody was 200 nM.The cell plate should be gently shaken to mix well and placed in an incubator at 37°C.

[00170] Implementation Example 8: Inhibition of IFNγ secretion by TL1A-stimulated cells via anti-TL1A antibodies
[00171] TL1A exerts its IFN-γ secretion-stimulating effect by binding to DR3. The present implementation example evaluated the activity of anti-TL1A antibody in inhibiting TL1A-induced IFN-γ secretion from PBMCs.
[00172] PBMCs were diluted in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% FBS, adjusted to a cell density of 3 χ 106 / cells / ml, and 100 µl of cell suspension were added to each well. TL1A-his was diluted to 400 ng / ml in culture medium and the antibody was diluted to 200 nM. A triple gradient dilution was performed. TL1A-his and the antibody were mixed in a 1:1 volume ratio. After incubation at room temperature for 30 minutes, 50 µl of the mixture were added to each well of the PBMC plate. Recombinant IL-12 protein was diluted to 4 ng / ml in medium (25 µl per well) and recombinant IL-18 protein was diluted to 40 ng / ml (25 µl per well). Both were added to cell plates, incubated at 37 °C in a 5% CO2 incubator for 48 hours, after which the cell supernatants were collected. The expression of human IFN-γ in the supernatants was then measured. The experimental results are shown in Figure 7. Petition 870250088681, dated 09 / 30 / 2025, pp. 64 / 90 50 / 53 experimental results indicate that antibodies 72851, 311V25-7, 311V34-7 and the positive control antibody PRA023 inhibit IFN-γ secretion by PBMCs, with the candidate antibodies exhibiting superior inhibitory activity compared to the positive control PRA023.
[00173] Implementation Example 9: Inhibition of TNF-α secretion by anti-TL1A antibody
[00174] As a Th1 polarizing factor, TL1A stimulates Th1 cells to secrete the cytokines IFN-γ and TNF-α, potentially playing a crucial role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The present implementation example evaluated the activity of anti-TL1A antibody in inhibiting TL1A-induced TNF-α secretion from PBMCs.
[00175] PBMCs were diluted in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% FBS, adjusted to a cell density of 3 χ¹⁰⁶ / cells / ml, and 100 µl of cell suspension were added to each well. TL1A-his was diluted to 400 ng / ml in culture medium and the antibody was diluted to 200 nM, 80 nM. A triple gradient dilution was performed. TL1A-his and the antibody were mixed in a 1:1 volume ratio. After incubation at room temperature for 30 minutes, 50 µl of the mixture were added to each well of the PBMC plate. Recombinant IL23 protein was diluted to 400 ng / ml in medium (25 µl per well) and recombinant IL2 protein was diluted to 80 U / ml (25 µl per well). Both were added to cell plates, incubated at 37 °C in a 5% CO2 incubator for 72 hours, after which the cell supernatants were collected. The expression of human TNF-α in the supernatants was then measured. The experimental results are shown in Figure 8.Experimental results indicate that antibodies 72851, 311V25-7, 311V34-7 and the positive control antibody PRA023. Petition 870250088681, dated 09 / 30 / 2025, pages 65 / 90 51 / 53 inhibit TNF-α secretion by PBMCs, with the candidate antibodies exhibiting superior inhibitory activity compared to the positive control PRA023.
[00176] Implementation Example 10: Efficacy study of anti-TL1A antibody in a DSS-induced chronic inflammatory bowel disease model in mice
[00177] DSS was dissolved in the drinking water of mice. The highly negatively charged sulfate groups disrupted the integrity of the intestinal mucosal barrier, inducing an inflammatory response. The animals exhibited marked weight loss, loose stools, bloody stools, and granulocyte infiltration. The clinical symptoms and pathological features were very similar to those observed in human ulcerative colitis. The anti-TL1A antibody candidate molecule 72851 exhibits binding activity comparable to human TL1A homologous proteins (human-TL1A), macaque cynomolgus (Rhesus)-TL1A, and mouse homologous proteins (Rat-TL1A) (experimental ELISA results shown in Figure 9A). Consequently, a mouse model of DSS-induced chronic inflammatory bowel disease was used for in vivo efficacy studies.
[00178] The experiment comprised 3 groups: a blank control group, a model group, and a 72851 treatment group. The blank control group received normal drinking water. The model group and the 72851 treatment group received drinking water containing 5% DSS for 5 days a week, followed by drinking water for 2 days, completing a 7-day cycle. The experiment continued for 4 cycles. The 72851 dosage was 5 mg / kg, administered on alternate days. At the conclusion of the experiment, the animals were anesthetized for blood collection. Serum was collected and, after euthanasia, the entire intestinal tract, from the cecum to the distal rectum, was dissected for measurement. Petition 870250088681, dated 09 / 30 / 2025, pp. 66 / 90 52 / 53 of the length. The spleen was removed and weighed. Serum levels of IL-6 and IL-1β were quantified by ELISA.
[00179] Experimental results demonstrated that, compared to the model group (5% DSS), antibody 72851 effectively suppressed weight loss (as shown in Figure 9B) and colon shortening (as shown in Figure 9C) in the group treated with 72851 (5% DSS + 72851). It also effectively inhibited the elevation of the inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and IL-γβ in mice (as shown in Figures 9D and 9E).
[00180] Implementation Example 11: Efficacy study of anti-TL1A antibody in a TNBS-induced acute inflammatory bowel disease model in mice
[00181] TNBS, a small molecule hapten, induces host protein binding via rectal instillation, triggering a body that causes transmural necrosis and extensive inflammatory cell infiltration in the colon. This is accompanied by weight loss and intestinal obstruction, making it a commonly used agent to model acute enteritis in animals that mimics clinical Crohn's disease. In this model, we validated the therapeutic efficacy of the anti-TL1A 72851 antibody in the treatment of acute enteritis in mice and compared it with Roche's RVT-3101.
[00182] The experiment comprised 4 groups: blank control, model, RVT-3101 treatment, and 72851 treatment. Animals were fasted for 18 hours prior to the experiment. RVT-3101 and 72851 were administered at a dose of 5 mg / kg prior to modeling. Subsequently, animals in the model group, the RVT-3101 treatment group, and the 72851 treatment group were anesthetized. Under anesthesia, 400 µl of a 1.5% TNBS ethanol solution (50% ethanol) were instilled into the colon through the anus using a plastic catheter. Mice were kept in an inverted position. Petition 870250088681, dated 09 / 30 / 2025, pp. 67 / 90 53 / 53 for 3 minutes to prevent leakage of the instilled solution. The animals' condition was monitored throughout anesthesia. After recovery, the animals were returned to their cages for free access to food and water. RVT-3101 and 72851 were administered by intraperitoneal injection on alternate days; the model group received PBS injections on alternate days, with all doses administered at 5 ml / kg. On day 7 of the experiment, the animals were anesthetized, bled, and sacrificed. The entire intestinal tract, from the cecum to the distal rectum, was excised for length measurement, and the spleen was removed for weighing.
[00183] Experimental results demonstrated that, compared to the model group (1.5% TNBS), antibody 72851 effectively inhibited colon shortening (as shown in Figure 10A) and spleen weight increase (as shown in Figure 10B) in the 72851 treatment group (1.5% TNBS + 72581), demonstrating superior efficacy to the RVT-3101 positive control treatment group (1.5% TNBS + RVT-3101).
