Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biotechnology, and in particular to a polynucleotide encoding a three-chain antibody, a vector, a recombinant cell, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] In the current biotherapeutic market, which is dominated by antibody molecules, bispecific antibodies are a key component of next-generation antibody therapies. The hope is that two specific targets can produce a 1+1>2 effect, achieving exceptional efficacy in disease treatment. Bispecific antibodies were proposed three decades ago and have been extensively studied to overcome the limitation of natural monoclonal antibodies, which can only bind to a single epitope. Bispecific antibodies can simultaneously target two different antigens, such as simultaneously binding to tumor cell receptors and recruiting cytotoxic immune cells. This enhanced functionality may result in fewer side effects and fewer injections.
[0003] The two most common bispecific antibodies on the market are single-chain variable fragment (scFv)-based antibodies (without Fc fragment) and full-length IgG-like three-chain antibodies. Unlike traditional structured antibodies, the huge production challenges of three-chain antibodies in terms of expression quantity, quality and stability have hindered their wider clinical application and acceptance.
[0004] Conventional antibody production involves constructing single or multiple plasmid transfections during the cell line generation phase of the upstream process. Non-targeted transgenic integration methods are used to generate stably transfected cell pools. Multiple clones are then obtained through monoclonal cloning, and these clones are then tediously screened to identify clones with suitable production characteristics. These screened cell lines are typically multi-copy, and the stability of different sites in the cell lines often varies significantly. This is especially true for three-chain antibodies, which often have multiple expression chains. The uncertainty of random integration can easily lead to a high mismatch rate, affecting the target gene expression yield and increasing costs. Long culture times, low product yields, and phenotypic heterogeneity of transgenic cell clones are bottlenecks in the production of three-chain antibodies. Therefore, improving the low expression levels and high mismatch rates in the production of three-chain antibodies is an urgent issue that needs to be addressed.
[0005] In view of this, this application is hereby filed. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The object of the present invention is to provide a polynucleotide encoding a three-chain antibody to increase the expression level of the three-chain antibody in host cells and reduce the mismatch rate.
[0007] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0009] The polynucleotide encoding the bispecific antibody contains the recombinant heavy chain encoding gene, the light chain encoding gene, the heavy chain encoding gene, and the light chain encoding gene arranged in sequence.
[0010] In a second aspect, a vector is also provided, which carries the polynucleotide encoding the three-chain antibody of the first aspect.
[0011] In a third aspect, a recombinant cell is provided, wherein the polynucleotide encoding the three-chain antibody of the first aspect is integrated into the genetic material of the recombinant cell, and the recombinant cell expresses the three-chain antibody.
[0012] In a fourth aspect, a method for preparing the recombinant cell of the third aspect is also provided, the preparation method comprising introducing the polynucleotide encoding the three-chain antibody of the first aspect or the vector of the second aspect into a starting cell of the recombinant cell.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] The polynucleotide encoding the three-chain antibody provided by the present invention specifically arranges the recombinant heavy chain encoding gene, the light chain encoding gene, the heavy chain encoding gene, and the light chain encoding gene so that they are integrated into the genetic material of the host cell, thereby increasing the host cell's expression of the three-chain antibody and reducing the mismatch rate of the host cell-expressed protein to form the three-chain antibody.

[0036] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions of the present invention in conjunction with the embodiments. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0037] Typically, a natural, intact antibody consists of two heavy (H) chains and two light (L) chains. Antibodies are classified into five major classes, or isotypes, based on the presence of α, δ, ε, γ, and μ heavy chains: IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM. Several major antibody classes are further divided into subclasses, such as IgG1 (γ1 heavy chain), IgG2 (γ2 heavy chain), IgG3 (γ3 heavy chain), IgG4 (γ4 heavy chain), IgA1 (α1 heavy chain), or IgA2 (α2 heavy chain). Each heavy chain in an intact antibody molecule consists of a heavy chain variable region (VH) and first, second, third, and optionally fourth constant regions (CH1, CH2, CH3, and CH4, respectively). Mammalian light chains are classified as either λ or κ, and each light chain in an intact antibody molecule consists of a light chain variable region (VL) and a constant region (CL). The variable regions of the light and heavy chains determine antigen binding.
[0038] As used herein, the term "triabody" refers to an antibody consisting of a half antibody and a recombinant heavy chain, wherein the half antibody consists of a heavy chain and a light chain.
[0039] The term "heavy chain" as used herein comprises a heavy chain variable region (VH) domain and part or all of a heavy chain constant region, such as at least one of CH1, CH2, CH3, and CH4. Part or all of the heavy chain constant region of the heavy chain is optionally derived from one or a combination of IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM. The term "light chain" as used herein comprises a light chain variable region (VL) domain and part or all of a light chain constant region (CL). The constant region (CL) may be derived in part or in whole from a λ or κ type light chain. As used herein, a "half antibody" is formed by disulfide bonds between the above-mentioned "heavy chain" and "light chain," so that the second half antibody comprises a VL domain, a VH domain, a hinge domain, part or all of a heavy chain constant region (at least one of CH1, CH2, CH3, and CH4), and optionally part or all of a light chain constant region (CL). In an optional embodiment, a half antibody is composed of a heavy chain and a light chain in a complete IgG type antibody molecule.
[0040] The term "recombinant heavy chain" used herein includes the heavy chain Fc region and the single-chain antibody scFv. The single-chain antibody refers to an antibody fragment composed of the light chain variable region and the heavy chain variable region directly linked to each other or connected through a peptide linker sequence.
[0041] The half antibody and the recombinant heavy chain are combined through disulfide bonds to form a three-chain antibody. The structural diagram is shown in Figure 18 shown.
[0042] The term "expression cassette" as used herein refers to a polynucleotide containing a gene encoding a protein of interest (e.g., a light chain, a heavy chain, or a recombinant heavy chain), the encoding gene being operably linked to a regulatory sequence (e.g., a promoter, an enhancer, and a signal peptide, etc.) that directs the expression of the encoding gene in a target cell, and may contain other regulatory, labeling, screening, and recombination sequences thereof. The regulatory sequence allows the gene of interest to be recombined, transcribed, translated, and / or expressed in the target cell.
[0043] In the present invention, the term "nucleic acid molecule" refers to a polymeric form of nucleotides of any length, including ribonucleotides and / or deoxyribonucleotides. Examples of nucleic acid molecules include, but are not limited to, single-stranded, double-stranded, or multi-stranded DNA or RNA, genomic DNA, cDNA, DNA-RNA hybrids, or polymers comprising purine and pyrimidine bases or other natural, chemically or biochemically modified, non-natural, or derived nucleotide bases. When a nucleic acid molecule encodes a protein or polypeptide, the encoding may optionally encode a sense strand or an antisense strand. Nucleic acid molecules may be naturally occurring, synthetic, recombinant, or any combination thereof. "Nucleic acid molecule," "nucleic acid," and "polynucleotide" may be used interchangeably.
[0044] In alternative embodiments, the nucleic acid molecule is RNA or DNA. The nucleic acid molecule can be single-stranded or double-stranded, preferably double-stranded DNA. A nucleic acid molecule is "operably linked" when it is placed in a functional relationship with another nucleic acid sequence. For example, if a promoter or enhancer affects the transcription of a coding sequence, then the promoter or enhancer is operably linked to the coding sequence. When it is incorporated into a vector, DNA is preferably used.
[0045] In the present invention, the term "vector" refers to a vehicle into which a genetic element (e.g., the aforementioned nucleic acid molecule) can be operatively inserted and the genetic element can be expressed, for example, to produce a protein, RNA, or DNA encoded by the genetic element, or to replicate the genetic element. A vector can be used to transform, transduce, or transfect a host cell so that the genetic element it carries is expressed in the host cell. For example, vectors include: plasmids, phagemids, cosmids, artificial chromosomes such as yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs), bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs), or P1-derived artificial chromosomes (PACs), bacteriophages such as lambda phage or M13 phage, and animal viruses. A vector can contain a variety of elements that control expression, including promoter sequences, transcription initiation sequences, enhancer sequences, selection elements, and reporter genes. In addition, a vector can also contain a replication initiation site. A vector can also include components that assist its entry into cells, including, but not limited to, viral particles, liposomes, or protein coats. A vector can be an expression vector or a cloning vector. In some embodiments, the vectors provided by the present invention (e.g., expression vectors) contain a nucleic acid sequence encoding an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof as described in the present invention, at least one promoter (e.g., SV40, CMV, EF-1α) operably linked to the nucleic acid sequence, and at least one selection marker.
[0046] In the present invention, the term "starting cell" refers to a cell used to introduce the polynucleotide encoding the target protein (a three-chain antibody in this application) and / or a vector carrying the polynucleotide encoding the target protein. The starting cell can be a natural cell or a modified cell.
[0047] In the present invention, the term "recombinant cell" refers to a cell into which a polynucleotide encoding a protein of interest (a triabody in this application) and / or a vector carrying the polynucleotide encoding the protein of interest has been introduced.

[0119] (4) Observe the growth of enriched cells at any time and expand them when the coverage rate reaches more than 50%.
[0120] (5) After expansion to shake flasks, the cells were passaged three times to form a stable cell pool. The formation of monoclonal cells and screening of stable fluorescence were achieved by artificial intelligence. The steps are shown in Figure 1 The specific steps are shown in a~h.
[0121] a) The cells in the stable cell pool are diluted to a certain concentration and then inoculated into a culture dish containing a semi-solid culture medium. During the inoculation process, the cells are ensured to be approximately evenly distributed in all positions of the culture dish. The cells are allowed to stand for about half an hour to allow the cells to settle to the bottom of the culture dish.
[0122] b) The culture dish is transferred to the electron microscope stage, and the electron microscope performs high-throughput scanning on the cells in the culture dish;
[0123] c) The electron microscope scanned image is uploaded to the server for artificial intelligence image analysis. The analysis process includes monoclonal cell line detection, protein expression level prediction of monoclonal cell lines, protein expression level ranking, and coding and localization of screened high-protein expressing cell lines. The protein expression level prediction of the monoclonal cell line can be based on fluorescence or not. The following step c is protein expression level prediction not based on fluorescence.
[0124] Step c is based on the detection of monoclonal cell line targets using image processing technology. In this embodiment, the target detection algorithm of YOLOv8 is adopted, and the actual detection effect reaches mAP 94.2%. The target detection model for monoclonal cell lines in step c is consistent with the commonly used deep learning target detection model, so it is not described in detail. Specifically, the cell image needs to be annotated first. In order to improve the prediction accuracy of the algorithm, the bounding boxes of all monoclonal cell lines and adhesion cell lines will be marked and used as the real target bounding box (ground truth) for the loss calculation of the model output. After algorithm training, the model learns the ability to extract the border information of monoclonal cell lines. In the actual application scenario step c, the trained model can predict the border of the monoclonal cell line in the image.
[0125] Step c predicts the fluorescent protein expression level based on monoclonal cell images. In this example, the SqueezeNet deep learning network and the MSE loss function are used. Since the predicted protein expression levels in this project are ranked, the ranking result is the ultimate goal of the algorithm, so the NDCG evaluation standard of the ranking algorithm is used here. The specific calculation formula is as follows:
[0126]
[0127]
[0128] Where IDCG = best-ranked DCG. Specifically in this example, cell imaging predicted expression levels, sorted by predicted expression levels, and compared with the actual fluorescence value sorting results, the NDCG = 0.89. The expression level prediction model in this invention is described in detail in patent CN112037862B.
[0129] d) The coding and location information of the screened protein high-expressing cell lines are returned to the robot control software;
[0130] The cell codes and positions returned in step d, in this embodiment, return the top 100 cells in terms of predicted expression levels, with the codes ranging from 1 to 100. The position information includes the coordinates in the plane coordinate system relative to the center of the microscope (the depth of the culture medium is not considered for the time being, because all the cells to be selected are deposited to the bottom of the culture dish. In addition, during the photography process, cells that have not settled to the bottom of the culture dish will be out of focus, resulting in blurred cells, and cells with blurred images will also be excluded).
[0131] e) The robot control software automatically operates (or manually assists) the robotic arm to aspirate the selected monoclonal cell lines and transfer them to the designated well plate. This process is repeated until all high-expressing cell lines are transferred.
[0132] Step e: The process of the robot arm aspirating the target monoclonal cell line and transferring it to the well plate is described in detail in patents CN113821287B, CN113403431B, N113771030A, and CN113733087B.
[0133] f) After the cell clones in the well plate have grown to a certain number, they are transferred to a larger well plate for culture, and finally expanded to a shake flask for culture. The cell expression level is then tested to confirm that the cell line selected by the artificial intelligence is a high-yield cell line;
[0134] In this embodiment, step f is to transfer the cells to a 96-well plate for amplification and then transfer them to a shake flask for culture.
[0135] g) The selected high-yield cell lines are subcultured. Before each generation of cell lines is subcultured, a portion of the sample is diluted and placed in a culture dish, and images are taken using an electron microscope. Images of the cell lines are taken continuously for several generations. Currently, the expression of the selected cells can be predicted by the model learned from the cell morphology using photography, and the expression of the selected cells can also be predicted by fluorescent labeling.
[0136] Step g: Photographing Monoclonal Cells In this example, a Thermo Fisher Scientific M7000 electron microscope was used to photograph the cells.
[0137] h) The collected images of several generations of cell lines are input into an artificial intelligence algorithm to predict the cell line's passage stability based on fluorescence intensity and / or protein expression. Cell lines with high protein expression characteristics that can be stably passaged are selected as the final candidate cell lines. The prediction of the cell line's passage stability can be based on fluorescence or cell morphology instead of fluorescence. The following h steps are for predicting protein expression based on cell morphology instead of fluorescence.
[0138] Step h predicts the cell line stability, including but not limited to using traditional image recognition algorithms to extract and predict image features using histograms, automatically extracting and predicting image features using deep learning neural networks, and other image-based prediction techniques. In this embodiment, a deep learning-based method was used to automatically extract image features and predict stability for stable and unstable cell lines, achieving an accuracy rate of 84% for predictions across different cell lines. This is described in detail in patent CN114417582A.
[0139] Wherein, step d and step e can be completed manually. In this embodiment, they are completed automatically by a robotic arm.
[0140] (6) CHO-K1 cells were used as control and the seeding density was 5×10 5 cells / ml, inoculate 30 ml of the system, count the cells on the day of inoculation, culture day 3, culture day 5, culture day 7, culture day 9, culture day 11, culture day 13, and culture day 14, and screen out monoclones with a growth rate lower than that of CHO-K1.
[0141] (7) Recover the remaining monoclonal clones and perform stable subculture after recovery. Subculture should be performed every 3 or 4 days. The cell density of the 4-day subculture is 3×10 5 cells / ml, and the cell density after 3 days was 5×10 5 cells / ml, and the fluorescence of the cell line was regularly monitored during subculture. The stability of the high-fluorescence cell line was studied for approximately 90 days using the subculture medium. GBB003 cells, which exhibited minimal fluorescence fluctuations and stable cell line growth, were confirmed to be stable high-fluorescence cells. NGS sequencing of the integration site of this cell line revealed the highly expressed fragment sequence located at the integration site as SEQ ID No. 1. Specifically, the annotation information for the integration site on the CHO gene is: NW_003616785.1:83044.

[0209] The gene sequence of the kozak sequence, signal peptide sequence (SEQ ID No. 10) and the heavy chain gene sequence of specific antibody C (SEQ ID No. 7) were synthetically inserted into the Hind III and Xma I restriction sites of the pDonor0.0-H plasmid to form the pDonor0.0-C-HC plasmid.
[0210] Construction of recombinant heavy chain expression cassette [scFv-Fc]:
[0211] The gene sequence of the kozak sequence, signal peptide sequence (SEQ ID No. 11) and recombinant heavy chain gene sequence (scFv-Fc sequence, as shown in SEQ ID No. 8) were synthetically inserted into the Hind III and Xma I restriction sites of the pDonor0.0-H plasmid to form the pDonor0.0-F plasmid.
[0212] Seven plasmids were constructed, and the target gene arrangements within the plasmid structures were named LFH, FLH, LFHL, LFHF, LHFF, FLHL, and FHLL. The master plasmids pDonor0.0-H and pDonor0.0-L were constructed into the pLanding0.0 plasmid by enzyme digestion and ligation. LFH was constructed according to the method described in (1.1.1), FLH was constructed according to the method described in (1.1.2), LFHL was constructed according to the method described in (1.1.3), LFHF was constructed according to the method described in (1.1.4), LHFF was constructed according to the method described in (1.1.5), FLHL was constructed according to the method described in (1.1.6), and FHLL was constructed according to the method described in (1.1.7). The seven plasmids expressing specific antibody C differed only from the plasmid construction method expressing specific antibody A in (1.1) in that the nucleotide sequences of the genes encoding the light chain and heavy chain were different.
[0213] Example 3 Expression Effect Verification
[0214] In the bispecific bivalent antibody formed after the expression of each molecule constructed in Example 2, the light chain sequence of specific antibody A, specific antibody B, and specific antibody C is combined with its corresponding heavy chain sequence into half an IgG sample antibody through a disulfide bond, and the recombinant heavy chain (F antibody chain) is a scFv-Fc structure. Half an IgG sample antibody and scFv-Fc are combined to form a target protein through a disulfide bond. There are multiple mismatch modes in the combination of light chain sequence, heavy chain sequence and scFv-Fc structure, so the different construction modes of target gene in target protein gene expression can affect the expression ratio and result of each chain in light chain sequence, heavy chain sequence and scFv-Fc structure, thereby affecting the output of specific antibody A, specific antibody B and specific antibody C.

[0246]
[0247] Through the above experiments, we screened for a bispecific antibody-expressing cell line that met our expectations, consisting of a single heavy chain (HC), a single light chain (LC), and a recombinant heavy chain (scFv-Fc, single-chain variable fragment (scFv)-based (Fc fragment) antibody). The experimental process is controllable, significantly reducing the workload compared to traditional methods. The antibody mismatch rate is lower in this combination of a single heavy chain (HC), a single light chain (LC), and a recombinant heavy chain (scFv-Fc, single-chain variable fragment (scFv)-based (Fc fragment) antibody. Since heavy chain expression in conventional antibody expression depends on the proper folding of the light chain, which assists in heavy chain secretion, the inclusion of multiple copies of the light chain target gene in the bispecific bivalent antibodies formed after expression of the seven molecules can produce more light chain antibody fragments, further increasing the yield of the target molecule. This explains why our preferred molecule design features a higher number of light chain-encoding genes, increasing light chain expression, and resulting in higher target protein expression and a lower mismatch rate. Furthermore, the cell line constructed with the target gene arrangement of FLHL showed the highest expression level and the lowest mismatch rate. Specifically, when an exogenous nucleic acid fragment is integrated into the fixed site within the expression vector, and the exogenous nucleic acid fragment contains a gene encoding a recombinant heavy chain (scFv-Fc), a gene encoding a light chain (LC), a gene encoding a heavy chain (HC), and a gene encoding a light chain (LC) arranged in sequence, the expression level of an antibody composed of a recombinant heavy chain (scFv-Fc, single-chain variable fragment (scFv)-based (Fc fragment) antibody) is high and the mismatch rate is low.
