[0002] This patent application claims priority to Chinese invention patent application No. CN202410608740.7, filed on May 16, 2024, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference for all purposes. Technical Field

[0003] This invention relates to the field of biomedicine, and more specifically, to a peptide and its use as an antibody light chain, and to antibodies against EGFR and / or PD-L1 comprising the peptide as a common light chain. Background Technology

[0004] In recent years, programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitors have demonstrated clinical benefits across a wide range of cancer types. However, despite these broad clinical benefits, only about 20% of patients receive immunotherapy containing these inhibitors. For example, in cancer treatment, the objective response rate with PD-1 / PD-L1 inhibitors alone is only 10%–30%, and is accompanied by a range of side effects.

[0005] Somatic activation mutations of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) are among the most common oncogenic drivers in cancers such as non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), metastatic colorectal cancer, glioblastoma, head and neck cancer, pancreatic cancer, and breast cancer, with the highest prevalence in NSCLC. Molecularly targeted drugs targeting the EGFR signaling pathway have shown strong clinical efficacy; however, acquired resistance has been found to be inevitable in patients.

[0006] The EGFR×PD-L1 bispecific antibody is designed to simultaneously bind to the tumor-associated antigen, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), and programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1). In addition to its direct antitumor activity through EGFR inhibition, the EGFR×PD-L1 bispecific antibody can mediate effective antibody-dependent cytotoxicity (ADCC) and activate T-cell antitumor immunity by blocking the interaction between programmed death receptor 1 (PD-1) and its corresponding ligand PD-L1. Therefore, the EGFR×PD-L1 bispecific antibody can achieve enhanced therapeutic effects by directly inhibiting tumor growth and by blocking T-cell activation through tumor-targeted immune checkpoints.

[0007] Current conventional methods for preparing bispecific antibodies often require the simultaneous transfection of four plasmids to express two different heavy chains and two different light chains. However, when these four polypeptide chains are assembled into an antibody, mismatch between the heavy and light chains may occur. Therefore, it has been proposed that a single polypeptide can be used as a universal light chain to pair with the heavy chain of any antibody that has binding affinity and specificity for a specific target protein (e.g., EGFR, PD-L1), thereby constructing an antibody (homodimer). Furthermore, this polypeptide can also be used as a universal light chain to pair with two or more antibody heavy chains, thus constructing bispecific or even multispecific antibodies (heterodimers, heteromultimers) with affinity and binding specificity for different targets. Summary of the Invention

[0008] To address the aforementioned problems, the present invention aims to provide a polypeptide, which, as a light chain variable region or light chain of an antibody, can be constructed into an antibody with a heavy chain variable region or heavy chain of an antibody having binding affinity and / or specificity to a specific target protein (antigen), or with two or more heavy chain variable regions or heavy chains of antibodies having binding affinity and / or specificity to different target proteins (antigens). Another object of the present invention is to provide an antibody comprising the said polypeptide as a light chain variable region or light chain, for example, in the form of a homodimer or heterodimer.

[0025] The polypeptide provided by the present invention, as the light chain variable region or light chain of an antibody, can be used to construct antibodies by combining with the heavy chain variable region or heavy chain of antibodies that have binding affinity and / or specificity to different target proteins (antigens). The antibodies retain or have stronger binding affinity and / or specificity to the target protein (antigen) and corresponding biological activity.

[0026] The constructed antibody can have any structural form, such as a monoclonal antibody or antibody forms like scFv, dsFv, (dsFv)2, Fab, Fab', F(ab')2, or Fv. For example, the polypeptide, as the light chain variable region or light chain of the antibody, can be combined with the heavy chain variable region or heavy chain of an antibody that has binding affinity and / or specificity to a certain target protein (antigen) to construct an antibody that still has binding affinity and / or specificity to that target protein (antigen) (a monospecific antibody). This antibody is a homodimer with two identical heavy chains and two identical light chains. Alternatively, for example, the polypeptide, as the light chain variable region or light chain of the antibody, can be combined with the heavy chain variable regions or heavy chains of two antibodies that have binding affinity and / or specificity to two target proteins (antigens) respectively to construct an antibody that still has binding affinity and / or specificity to each of the two target proteins (antigens) (a bispecific antibody). This antibody is a heterodimer with two different heavy chains and two identical light chains. Furthermore, the polypeptides provided by this invention can also be used to construct multispecific antibodies with binding affinity and / or specificity to more target proteins (antigens).

The polypeptide can serve as the light chain or a variable region of the light chain of the antibody. For example, the constructed antibody is a bispecific antibody, and the polypeptide provided in the first aspect of the present invention serves as the common light chain of the bispecific antibody; the bispecific antibody is such as the EGFR×PDL1 bispecific antibody provided by the present invention.

[0033] In the context of this invention, the antigen-binding fragment is any functional fragment of an antibody capable of specifically binding to a target protein. In the context of this invention, "target protein" and "antigen" are used interchangeably.

In this invention, "Fab arm" refers to a Fab fragment (Antigen-binding fragment), which consists of a complete light chain (variable and constant regions) and a partial heavy chain structure (variable region and a constant region fragment), with the light and heavy chains linked by disulfide bonds. Regarding target protein (antigen) binding properties, the antibodies or antigen-binding fragments provided by this invention can be bispecific antibodies.

[0134] Cetuximab: Self-made by the applicant, Cat#: KA-1398-01.

[0135] Unless otherwise specified, the target proteins EGFR and PD-L1 involved in the examples are human proteins.

[0136] Example 1 Screening of common light chains

[0137] Analysis of existing technologies revealed that KV4-type germlines are expressed at a relatively high frequency in mice and pair with mouse heavy chains at a higher frequency. Therefore, this type of germline sequence was selected, and the following mouse germline sequence KV4-59 was chosen from it because it is relatively easy to humanize, has good solubility, low immunogenicity, and no potential modification sites.

[0138] KV4-59 (SEQ ID NO.1):

[0139] QIVLTQSPAIMSASPGEKVTMTCSASSSVSYMHWYQQKSGTSPKRWIYDTSKLASGVPARFSGSGSGTSYSLTISSMEAEDAATYYC QQWSSNPP FGSGTKLEIK

[0140] The above sequence was modified. Since CDR3 of the light chain (see underlined; obtained according to the KABAT definition) plays an important role in the affinity between the antibody and antigen, an amino acid was added after CDR3 to improve the affinity for potential antigens. The following three sequences were obtained:

[0141] KV4-59-1 (SEQ ID NO.2):

[0142] QIVLTQSPAIMSASPGEKVTMTCSASSSVSYMHWYQQKSGTSPKRWIYDTSKLASGVPARFSGSGSGTSYSLTISSMEAEDAATYYC QQWSSNPPYT FGSGTKLEIK

[0146] QIVLTQSPAIMSASPGEKVTMTCSASSSVSYMHWYQQKSGTSPKRWIYDTSKLASGVPARFSGSGSGTSYSLTISSMEAEDAATYYC QQWSSNPPFT FGSGTKLEIK

[0147] The above three sequences were used as the variable region sequences of the antibody light chain, and chimeric antibodies were constructed by combining them with the variable region sequences of the heavy chain of the mouse anti-chicken egg lysozyme antibody and the constant regions of the human heavy and light chains.

[0148] The heavy chain variable region sequence of mouse anti-chicken egg lysozyme antibody (SEQ ID NO.5):

[0150] By testing the antigen-binding affinity, expression level, thermal stability, solubility, and freeze-thaw stability of the three chimeric antibodies, it was confirmed that the antibody constructed with KV4-59-1 (SEQ ID NO.2) as the variable region sequence of the antibody light chain has better properties.

[0151] Example 2 Construction of transgenic mice

[0152] Based on the C57 mouse antibody lambda light chain gene sequence, sgRNAs were designed and validated in vitro using a Cas9-gRNA target efficiency assay kit (Vishanglide, Cat#: VK007-30T). Highly efficient sgRNA sequences were selected: TGAATGCCATGTACTTATGG (SEQ ID NO. 6) and AAGTTCAGCTCCTAAAATGG (SEQ ID NO. 7). These sgRNA sequences were synthesized and microinjected into mouse zygotes along with spCas91.1 protein. The sgRNA mediated Cas9 protein cleavage of the target gene fragment to be deleted, causing DNA double-strand breaks. DNA repair occurred at both ends of the genome via non-homologous end joining (NHEJ), while the target fragment in the middle was deleted, achieving gene knockout. Genotyping of mice two weeks after birth confirmed that the lambda gene had been knocked out.

[0153] Based on the kappa light chain sequence of the C57 mouse antibody, sgRNAs were designed and validated in vitro using a Cas9-gRNA target efficiency assay kit (Vishanglide, Cat#: VK007-30T). Highly efficient sgRNA sequences were selected: IGK-L1: GTGAATGCCATGTACTTATGG (SEQ ID NO.8); IGK-R1: CAAGTTCAGCTCCTAAAATGG (SEQ ID NO.9). These sgRNA sequences were synthesized and microinjected into mouse zygotes along with spCas91.1 protein. The sgRNA mediated the Cas9 protein to create a nick at the target DNA location. Using a Donor DNA fragment containing a homologous arm and the target fragment KV4-59-1 (SEQ ID NO.2), homologous recombination was used to knock the DNA fragment into the target location. Genotyping was performed on mice two weeks after birth, confirming the knock-in of the common light chain gene.

[0154] Heterozygous mice with lambda gene knockout were mated with heterozygous mice with common light chain knock-in. Genotyping was performed on each offspring 2 weeks after birth to detect common light chain gene knock-in and lambda knockout, until mice with all alleles of common light chain gene knock-in and both lambda and kappa knockout were obtained.

[0155] Example 3 Preparation of hybridoma cells secreting anti-EGFR and anti-PD-L1 antibodies

[0156] Mice constructed in Example 2 were immunized using EGFR-mFc (Kangyuan Bochuang Biotechnology (Beijing) Co., Ltd. (“Kangyuan Bochuang”), Cat#: KP-1151) as an immunogen. Mice with high titers were selected, and serum was collected. After dissection, the spleen was harvested, and spleen cells were isolated. These spleen cells were fused with cultured myeloma cells to obtain hybridoma cells. The binding activity of the hybridoma cell supernatant to the antigen protein EGFR-His (Kangyuan Bochuang, Cat#: KP-1150) was detected using ELISA, yielding multiple positive hybridoma cell lines secreting anti-EGFR antibodies.

[0157] A murine antibody against EGFR was obtained from a positive hybridoma cell line. Its variable region sequence is as follows (where the heavy chain and light chain CDRs are underlined and obtained according to the KABAT definition method, the same below): 22A12-2 (murine antibody against EGFR 1; also named "KD-22-0198")

After dissection, the spleen was harvested, and spleen cells were isolated. These spleen cells were fused with cultured myeloma cells to obtain hybridoma cells. The binding activity of the hybridoma cell supernatant to the antigen protein PDL1-His (Kangyuan Bochuang, Cat#: KP-1002) was detected using ELISA, yielding multiple positive hybridoma cell lines secreting anti-PD-L1 antibodies.

[0175] Example 4 Construction of humanized and chimeric antibodies against EGFR and PD-L1

[0176] The heavy chain and light chain variable regions of two anti-EGFR murine antibodies were humanized to obtain humanized antibody sequences. The coding sequences of these humanized antibody sequences were then linked to the coding sequences of the heavy chain constant region (SEQ ID NO. 18) of human IgG1 and the light chain constant region (SEQ ID NO. 19) of human kappa, respectively. The resulting coding genes were cloned into a eukaryotic expression vector, expressed, and yielded two humanized anti-EGFR antibodies, named H22A12-2V1-hIgG1 and H103G9-3V2-hIgG1, respectively. Their heavy chain and light chain variable region sequences and full-length heavy and light chains are shown below (where the heavy chain and light chain CDRs are underlined).

[0260] Example 19 Construction of EGFR×PD-L1 bispecific antibody

[0261] By linking the common light chain variable region (SEQ ID NO.15) with the coding sequence of the human kappa light chain constant region (SEQ ID NO.19), the common light chain of the bispecific antibody (SEQ ID NO.22) is obtained.

[0262] The heavy chain variable region (SEQ ID NO. 14) of the anti-EGFR humanized antibody 1, namely H22A12-2V1-hIgG1, was linked to the coding sequence of the human heavy chain Knob CH1 and FC sequence (SEQ ID NO. 20). In addition, the heavy chain variable region (SEQ ID NO. 16) of the anti-EGFR humanized antibody 2, namely H103G9-3V2-hIgG1, was linked to the coding sequence of the human heavy chain Knob CH1 and FC sequence (SEQ ID NO. 20). The heavy chain variable region (SEQ ID NO. 17) of the anti-PD-L1 humanized antibody, namely H58E3-2V4-2-hIgG1, was linked to the coding sequence of the human heavy chain Hole CH1 and FC sequence (SEQ ID NO. 21).

[0263] The obtained coding sequences were cloned into eukaryotic expression vectors to obtain four recombinant expression plasmids (one plasmid encoding a common light chain, two plasmids encoding heavy chains targeting EGFR, and one plasmid encoding heavy chains targeting PD-L1). Transient co-transfection of three plasmids (selecting one of the two plasmids encoding the heavy chain targeting EGFR) using the HEK293F expression system was employed to produce EGFR×PD-L1 bispecific antibodies. In short, for a 1L shake flask, HEK293F cells were used at a rate of 1×10⁻⁶ cells / mL. 6Inoculate at a density of 1 / mL in 250mL of culture medium and incubate at 110rpm in 5% CO2. The next day, mix the three pre-prepared expression vectors with the transfection reagent in a certain ratio and then inoculate at 2×10⁻⁶. 6 At a cell density of 10 cells / mL, the transfection complex was added to the cells. After 24 hours, nutrients and DNA inhibitors were added. After 5-7 days of cell culture, the expression supernatant was collected, centrifuged, filtered, and purified using a MabSelectSure affinity chromatography column (GE Healthcare). The purity of the purified antibody was detected by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis, and the antibody concentration was detected by Nanodrop.

[0264] The domains and their sequences contained in the obtained EGFR×PD-L1 bispecific antibody are shown in Table 15 and below (the italicized parts in the sequences below are constant regions).

[0309] Lung cancer cells NCI-H292 (Kangyuan Bochuang, Cat#: KC-0578; expressing EGFR and PD-L1) were cultured at 5.0 × 10⁻⁶ cells / year. 5 Cells were suspended in DMEM medium at a density of 10 cells / mL, and then 80 μL of the cell suspension was added to each well of a 96-well plate. The antibody to be tested was serially diluted (starting concentration 200 μg / mL, 3.16-fold serial dilutions) and added to each well at 10 μL, and incubated for 30 minutes. Then, 10 μL of human AB serum (ORi CELLS, Cat#: 20230419-Z0575) was added to each well, mixed, and incubated for 3 hours. Cells were transferred to ice, centrifuged at low temperature to remove the supernatant, resuspended in FACS buffer, and then incubated with 7-AAD for 10 minutes.

[0310] Flow cytometry was used to analyze 5000 cells per well. Data analysis used Flowjo software to calculate the 7-AAD+ proportion of the target cell population, and GraphPad Prism to plot antibody vs. cell death ratio curves and calculate IC50. Results are shown in Table 23 and... Figure 21 .
