Problems solved by technology

All three technologies have their own weaknesses. In general, the common key disadvantages are that the molecular weight of the fused or modified protein drug will be greatly increased, and the yield and clinical efficacy of the fused protein drug will often be significantly reduced.

Embodiment 1

[0083] Example 1 Design and preparation of novel long-acting interleukin-15 fusion protein

[0084] The schematic diagram of the designed novel long-acting interleukin-15 fusion protein is shown in figure 1 . Will encode IL15Rα-GGGGS-sFc (SEQ ID NO:5), IL15Rα-(GGGGS) 3-sFc (SEQ ID NO:6), IL15Rα-Fc (SEQ ID NO:7), IL15(N72D) (sequence is SEQ ID NO:4) The gene was synthesized by Nanjing GenScript (Nanjing, Genescript) Company. And the gene was cloned into the eukaryotic expression vector PTT (purchased from Thermo Fisher Company). After the successful construction of the plasmid, it was transiently co-transfected into Expi293 cells (purchased from Thermo Fisher) for expression (where IL15Rα-(GGGGS)3-sFc was co-transformed with IL15(N72D) to obtain FL115-2a, IL15Rα-GGGGS-sFc and IL15 (N72D) was co-transformed to obtain FL115-2b, IL15Rα-Fc and IL15 (N72D) were co-transformed to obtain the Fc fusion protein of IL-15), and purified by protein G resin (purchased from GE Healthcare)...

[0085] Embodiment 2 Novel long-acting interleukin-15 fusion protein physicochemical properties

[0086] The new long-acting interleukin-15 fusion proteins (FL115-2a and FL115-2b) were expressed and purified according to the method in Example 1. At the same time, the Fc fusion protein of IL-15 was designed and constructed in the same way, and the unified expression system was used to express and purify the Fc fusion protein to obtain related proteins. Purification by protein G resin (see: Ying Tianlei et al., JOURNAL OF BIOLOGICAL CHEM ISTRY, 2012, 287(23): 19399-19408 for specific transformation, expression and purification methods), and the yield of the new long-acting interleukin-15 fusion protein is as high as 10mg / L, compared with the yield of IL-15 Fc fusion protein 1mg / L, it has obvious advantages, and theoretically has a significant advantage in industrial production costs. At the same time, we took the above-mentioned protein with an equal volume of 100ul for high-pe...

[0087] Example 3 Evaluation of biological activity of novel long-acting interleukin-15 fusion protein in CTLL-2 cell line

[0088] To evaluate the biological activity of the novel long-acting interleukin-15 fusion protein, a proliferation assay on the CTLL-2 cell line was used (Santos-Savio A. et al., BiotecnAplic. 2000, 17: 221-4). According to the procedure described below, using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) (purchased from Sigma) for mitochondrial Staining (see: Mossman T.J. Immunol. Methods. 1983, 65(1-2): 55-63 for the specific method), the biological activity can be measured by stimulating the proliferation of these cells. In a 96-well culture plate (purchased from Costar, USA), in a volume of 50 μL supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) (purchased from Gibco) and 50 μg / mL gentamicin (purchased from Sigma Company) In RPMI medium (purchased from Gibco), serial dilutions of FL115-2a, FL115-2b, positive control (IL15&IL15Rα) an...

Abstract

The invention discloses a novel long-acting interleukin 15 (IL-15) fusion protein and a preparation method and application thereof. Natural IL-15 is small in molecular weight, short in half-life period after in-vivo application and unstable, so that in-vivo biological activity exertion of the natural IL-15 is limited. The invention discloses the novel long-acting IL-15 fusion protein. The novel long-acting IL-15 fusion protein comprises a monomer fragment Fc (sFc), an IL-15 functional fragment and an IL-15 receptor alpha 'sushi' structural domain (IL-15R alpha Su) developed by utilizing synthetic biology, and the sFc and the IL-15R alpha Su are connected through different connecting peptide fragments. The novel long-acting IL-15 fusion protein has potential better druggability, the yield of the novel long-acting IL-15 fusion protein is far higher than that of an Fc fusion protein, the number of Treg cells in tumor tissues can be obviously reduced, an immune system is effectively activated to kill tumor cells, the in-vivo tumor inhibition effect of IL-15 is improved, and the novel long-acting IL-15 fusion protein has better in-vivo anti-tumor activity.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, and specifically relates to a long-acting interleukin-15 fusion protein and a preparation method thereof, as well as nucleic acids, plasmids, host cells required for constructing the long-acting protein, corresponding pharmaceutical compositions and applications thereof. Background technique [0002] IL-15 is a cytokine of about 12-14kD discovered by Grabstein et al. in 1994, which can play a role in the normal immune response of the body, such as promoting the proliferation of T cells, B cells and NK cells. Both IL-15 and IL-2 belong to the IL-2 family, and IL-2 family member receptors all contain γc chains: including IL-2, IL-4, IL-7, IL-9, IL-15 and IL-21 . Among them, IL-15 and IL-2 have common IL-2 / IL-15Rβ (CD122) and γc receptor (CD132), and the specific receptor of IL-15 is IL-15Rα (CD125). [0003] IL-15 signaling can be produced through a heterotrimeric complex of IL-15Rα, IL-15Rβ and γc. ...
