Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biomedical technology, specifically relating to monoclonal antibodies for detecting or blocking the FomA protein of Fusobacterium nucleatum, their applications and products. Background Technology
[0002] Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn) is a slender, fusiform, Gram-negative anaerobic bacillus that does not spore, and its nucleic acid staining reveals a nucleus-like structure. Fn's elongated shape helps form a unique structural support in oral biofilms, making it a resident member of the oral microbiota, widely present on the tooth surface and gingival sulcus of healthy individuals. It acts as a "bridge bacterium," connecting primary colonizing bacteria and secondary anaerobes by co-aggregating with various microorganisms (such as Streptococcus and Porphyromonas gingivalis) to form dental plaque biofilms. Fn's metabolic pathways include amino acid fermentation and glycolysis, and it is significantly influenced by other microorganisms. It promotes biofilm formation and metabolic regulation by expressing various adhesins (such as RadD, FadA, and Fap2) to mediate interactions with host cells and microorganisms.
[0003] 1. Fn is closely related to a variety of oral and systemic diseases: Porphyromonas gingivalis (Fn) is one of the main pathogens of periodontitis, and it works synergistically with Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg) to enhance inflammatory responses and tissue destruction. It can induce the expression of antimicrobial peptides (such as β-defensin 2) and pro-inflammatory factors (such as IL-6 and IL-8) in oral epithelial cells, promoting the progression of periodontitis. Fn may promote disease progression in oral tumor models by activating the NF-κB pathway and the expression of pro-inflammatory factors (such as TNF-α); recent studies have found that Fn is significantly enriched in colorectal cancer tissues and is associated with tumorigenesis, proliferation, metastasis, and chemotherapy resistance. Its surface adhesion protein Fap2 can recognize Gal-GalNAc overexpressed on tumor cells, prompting Fn to migrate to the colorectal tumor microenvironment via the bloodstream; FadA protein promotes tumor cell proliferation by binding to E-cadherin and activating the β-catenin and Wnt signaling pathways; Fn is abundant in the intestinal tissue and feces of IBD patients, and may induce inflammatory responses through proteins such as FomA, exacerbating the pathological processes of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis; Fn is a common bacterium in the amniotic fluid of preterm pregnant women, and can invade umbilical cord endothelial cells, leading to placental inflammation and increasing the risk of preterm birth, miscarriage, and neonatal sepsis; Fn targets the Rab5a-YB-1 axis through FadA-containing outer membrane vesicles (OMVs), delivering them to joints, inducing local inflammation, and exacerbating rheumatoid arthritis symptoms.
[0004] 2. The FomA protein of Fn has attracted much attention due to its immunogenicity and potential vaccine target value: FomA is the major outer membrane pore protein of Fusobacterium nucleatum, with a molecular weight of approximately 41 kDa. It is located on the outer membrane of Fn and is responsible for substance transport and bacterial-host cell interactions. As a receptor protein, FomA participates in the co-aggregation of Fn with other oral pathogens (such as P. gingivalis), promoting dental plaque biofilm formation, which is a key step in the development of periodontitis. FomA can induce host cells (such as macrophages and epithelial cells) to secrete pro-inflammatory factors (such as IL-1β and IL-6), exacerbating the inflammatory response of periodontitis and IBD. FomA enhances the adhesion and invasion ability of Fn to host tissues, especially in the oral and intestinal environments.
[0005] FomA is highly immunogenic and can induce the body to produce specific antibodies (such as IgG and SIgA). Studies have shown that subcutaneous injection or oral administration of recombinant bacteria expressing FomA (such as Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus plantarum) can induce high-titer antibodies in mouse serum and intestinal fluid, with antibody titers reaching their peak two weeks after secondary immunization. Oral administration of recombinant Lactobacillus plantarum expressing FomA can induce the production of SIgA and IgG in mouse intestines and serum, stimulate B cells, T cells, and dendritic cells, and significantly alleviate Fn-induced IBD symptoms (such as colonic atrophy and inflammatory cell infiltration).
[0006] 3. The significance of preparing monoclonal antibodies against Fn-FomA protein: Given that FomA is a major pore protein of the Fn outer membrane, it plays a crucial role not only in bacterial adhesion, biofilm formation, and inflammation induction, but also serves as an ideal antigen target due to its high immunogenicity. Therefore, the development of monoclonal antibodies against the Fn-FomA protein has significant scientific and clinical implications.
[0007] Monoclonal antibodies targeting FomA can be used to develop highly sensitive diagnostic tools that aid in the early diagnosis of periodontitis, colorectal cancer, or inflammatory bowel disease by detecting the abundance of fibroblasts (Fn) in the patient's oral cavity, intestines, or tumor tissue. For example, FomA-based ELISA or immunofluorescence assays can accurately identify Fn infection, particularly in colorectal cancer patients. FomA antibodies can help assess the enrichment of Fn in the tumor microenvironment by recognizing Fn surface antigens, providing a basis for disease staging and prognosis. Furthermore, FomA antibodies can be combined with imaging techniques for non-invasive monitoring of the dynamic changes in Fn-related infections.
[0008] FomA monoclonal antibodies possess potential therapeutic value. By blocking FomA-mediated adhesion of fibroblasts (Fn) to host cells or symbiotic bacteria and inhibiting biofilm formation, they can alleviate pathological damage associated with periodontitis or intestinal inflammation. Secondly, they can neutralize the pathogenic factors of Fn, reducing the expression of pro-inflammatory factors (such as IL-1β and IL-6) and alleviating inflammatory responses. Furthermore, through antibody-dependent cytotoxicity (ADCC) or complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC), FomA antibodies may possess potential killing efficacy against Fn, reducing their abundance in lesions. In the treatment of colorectal cancer, FomA antibodies may be used in combination with chemotherapy or immune checkpoint inhibitors to target Fn, thereby disrupting the pro-tumor microenvironment and improving treatment efficacy. Summary of the Invention

[0061] The following will describe the concept and technical effects of the present invention clearly and completely with reference to embodiments, so as to fully understand the purpose, features and effects of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0062] Example 1: Preparation and Characterization of Fn-FomA Monoclonal Antibody 1. Preparation of immunoantigens Natural FomA protein: The supernatant from Fn culture was concentrated and precipitated with 40% ammonium sulfate to obtain crude protein. The protein was dissolved in 20 mM PBS buffer (pH 7.4) and further purified using a Bio-Rad Enrich™ SEC 650 gel filtration (medium pressure) column. The molecular weight of the target FomA protein was approximately 42 kDa. Recombinant FomA protein: The gene corresponding to Fn-fomA 51–269aa (ATCC NO: 25586) was cloned and constructed into the PET28b expression plasmid. This plasmid was transformed into *E. coli* BL21(DE3) competent cells, and bacterial amplification and protein expression were induced according to standard procedures. The protein was further purified using a Bio-Rad IMAC (Immobilized Metal Affinity Chromatography) column. The molecular weight of the target protein was approximately 37 kDa. The purified recombinant protein was quantified using a standard Coomassie protein assay kit (PIERCE, Cat, No. ED62976). The obtained natural Fn-FomA protein can be used as an immunogenic antigen, while the recombinant FomA protein can be used for subsequent antibody screening and identification.
[0063] 2. Immunizing mice Three 4-6 week old female BALB / c mice were used for the first immunization. Freund's complete adjuvant was mixed with an equal volume of natural FomA protein and emulsified (final antigen concentration of 500 μg / mL). 50 μg of the protein was administered subcutaneously to each mouse at multiple sites. Subsequently, every 10 days, Freund's incomplete adjuvant was mixed with an equal volume of natural FomA protein and emulsified (dose as before). After a total of 4 immunizations, 100 μg of natural FomA protein was injected intraperitoneally into each mouse 3 days before fusion for a booster immunization.
[0064] 3. Determination of antibody titer in immune serum An indirect ELISA method for determining antibody titers in immune serum was established, and the specific procedure is as follows: Polystyrene microplates were coated with 50 mM pH 9.6 carbonate buffer containing 0.5 μg / mL natural Fn-FomA protein at 100 μL / well at 4°C overnight. The next day, the plates were blocked with 300 μL / well of blocking buffer containing 0.25% casein (Sigma) at 4°C overnight. The blocked buffer was discarded, dried, and stored at 4°C for use in the determination of antibody titers in mouse immune serum.
[0065] Blood was collected from the tail vein of mice 10 days after the first immunization. The mouse immune serum was diluted with PBS containing 0.1% BSA 10mM at 10°C. 3 ~10 6 Dilute the solution 1:1000 and add it to the above 96-well plate. Incubate at 37°C for 30 minutes. Wash the plate five times with 10mM PBS containing 0.1% Tween-20. Add 100 μL of horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-labeled goat anti-mouse IgG (Sigma, INC.) diluted 1:1000 and incubate at 37°C for 30 minutes. Wash the plate (washing procedure as before). Add 100 μL of TMB chromogenic solution and incubate at room temperature in the dark for 10 minutes. Stop the reaction by adding 100 μL of 1M H2SO4 per well. Measure the absorbance at 450 nm. Use pre-immunization mouse serum as a negative control. A positive result is defined as a ratio of ≥2.1 between the measured value and the control value.
[0066] 4. Hybridoma preparation and screening Select serum antibody titers of 1×10⁻⁶ 6 Three days prior to fusion, mice were intraperitoneally injected with 100 μg of natural Fn-FomA protein. On the day of fusion, the spleens of the mice were aseptically removed, and a spleen cell suspension was prepared and mixed with the logarithmically growing mouse myeloma cell line NS-1 (commercial) at a ratio of 10:1. Fusion was then performed using 45% polyethylene glycol (PEG, MW4000, Sigma). The PEG solution was added to the cells as follows: 1.0 mL of PEG was slowly added to the cell-containing culture medium at 37°C, gently shaking while adding. The fusion was terminated with serum-free RPMI-1640 medium. The cells were centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 5 min at room temperature, the supernatant was discarded, and the cells were gently resuspended in 60 mL of RPMI-1640 medium containing 15% fetal bovine serum. This cell suspension was added to six 96-well culture plates and placed in a CO2 incubator (37°C, 5% CO2). The following day, 100 μL of selection medium containing hypoxanthine, aminopterin, and thymidine deoxyribonucleoside (HAT, Sigma) was added to each well. The culture was then changed with this selection medium every 3 days until cell clones formed.
[0067] To detect the presence of antibody-producing clones, the indirect ELISA method described above was used to detect the cell culture supernatant. Strongly positive hybridoma cells were selected for cloning, and the cloning was repeated 2-3 times using limiting dilution to obtain two stable antibody-secreting hybridoma cell lines, named FAMD6 and FAME67. Cells with 100% cloning positivity were expanded and cultured before being cryopreserved in liquid nitrogen.
[0068] 5. Preparation of ascites fluid and purification of anti-Fn-FomA protein monoclonal antibody The monoclonal antibodies FAMD6 and FAME67 were prepared by inoculating mice with corresponding hybridoma cells using an in vivo induction method.
[0069] The specific preparation method is as follows: Each mouse was injected intraperitoneally with 0.5 mL of Freund's incomplete adjuvant (Sigma). Within 1–2 weeks, 2 × 10⁻⁶ mg / mL of the adjuvant was administered. 6 One hybridoma cell line, either FAMD6 or FAME67, was suspended in 0.2 mL of serum-free RPMI 1640 medium and injected into the peritoneal cavity of mice. After 1–2 weeks, ascites fluid was drained using a No. 9 needle; this process could be repeated several times. The ascites fluid was then centrifuged, clarified, and stored at 4°C for later use.
[0070] The ascites antibody was purified using the caprylic acid-ammonium sulfate precipitation method. The ascites was diluted 2-fold with 60 mM, pH 5.0 acetate buffer, and the pH was adjusted to 4.8 with 0.1N hydrochloric acid. The liquid changed from clear to turbid. Caprylic acid was slowly added dropwise over 30 minutes at room temperature while stirring, with 33 μL of caprylic acid added per milliliter of pre-diluted ascites. A large amount of precipitate appeared. The solution was incubated at 4°C for 2 hours, centrifuged at 10,000 g at 4°C for 30 minutes, and the supernatant was collected. 1 / 10 volume of 100 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) was added, and the pH was adjusted to 7.4 with 0.1N sodium hydroxide. Ammonium sulfate was slowly added with stirring in an ice bath, with 0.277 g of ammonium sulfate added per milliliter of liquid to achieve 45% saturation. The solution was incubated at 4°C overnight, centrifuged at 10,000 g at 4°C for 30 minutes, and the supernatant was discarded. The precipitate was dissolved in an appropriate amount of 10 mM phosphate buffer, and dialyzed overnight at 4°C using the same solution. The solution was changed three times. Quantification was performed using Coomassie Brilliant Blue Protein Assay Reagent (PIERCE, Cat, No. ED62976). After concentration determination, the antibody was added to a final concentration of 50% glycerol and stored at -80°C.
[0071] 6. Identification of subclasses of anti-Fn-FomA protein monoclonal antibodies Indirect ELISA was used to detect positive clones and determine their antibody subclasses. The specific procedure was as follows: 96-well plates were coated with natural Fn-FomA protein, blocked, and incubated with hybridoma cell culture supernatant. Then, the plates were incubated separately with 1:1000 diluted anti-mouse subclass-specific immunoglobulins (Suzhou Bio-Long Technology Co., Ltd., catalog number BF16001). HRP-labeled anti-mouse antibodies of various types and subclasses were added for reaction. Finally, the reaction was performed using a TMB substrate system and terminated with dilute sulfuric acid. The absorbance was measured using a microplate reader to determine the class or subclass of the tested monoclonal antibody.
[0072] The test results showed that the monoclonal antibody FAMD6 subclass was IgG3 and the monoclonal antibody FAME67 subclass was IgG2b.
[0073] 7. Identification of the binding ability of Fn-FomA monoclonal antibody Microplates were coated with natural Fn-FomA protein and identified using an indirect ELISA method. After blocking, serially diluted monoclonal antibodies FAMD6 or FAME67 (1000 ng / mL to 0.9 ng / mL) were added and incubated at 37°C for 1 h. Horseradish peroxidase-labeled goat anti-mouse IgG (Sigma, Inc.) diluted 1:1000 was added at 100 μL / well and incubated at 37°C for 30 min. TMB chromogenic buffer was added and the reaction was developed at room temperature in the dark for 10 min. The reaction was terminated by adding 1 M H2SO4, and the absorbance at 450 nm was measured. A 450 ).
[0074] The results are as follows Figure 1 As shown, both the monoclonal antibodies FAMD6 and FAME67 have good binding ability to the natural Fn-FomA protein.
[0075] 8. Affinity identification of Fn-FomA monoclonal antibody Experiments were performed using a Gator™ molecular interaction instrument (Gator Bio, Suzhou, China) (all probes and buffers used were products of this company). First, the anti-mouse IgG Fc biosensor probe was pre-equilibrated in Q buffer until baseline stability, then incubated in 10 mg / mL mAbs solution for 240 seconds to achieve antibody immobilization. After capture, the sensor was again equilibrated in Q buffer for 60 seconds, then incubated with serially diluted native Fn-FomA protein (or Q buffer as a blank control) in the same buffer system for 180 seconds, and finally incubated in Q buffer for 300 seconds to complete the dissociation process. Experimental data were processed using the Gator™ system's accompanying analysis software, and the binding rate constant (Ka), dissociation rate constant (Kd), and equilibrium dissociation constant (KD) were calculated through kinetic curve fitting. This method offers advantages such as label-free operation, real-time monitoring, and high-throughput analysis, and can accurately characterize the interaction features between mAbs and target proteins.
[0076] The results are as follows Figure 2 As shown, the calculated affinity KD values for monoclonal antibodies FAMD6 and FAME67 are 0.514 nM and 1.38 nM, respectively, both meeting the affinity requirements for diagnostic antibodies.

[0098] Example 3: Efficacy test of the FomA protein immunoassay or diagnostic kit This example demonstrates the sensitivity determination of the immunoassay or diagnostic kit from Example 2.
[0099] 1. Sensitivity determination of recombinant Fn-FomA protein Recombinant FomA protein was serially diluted 11 times starting at 1000 ng / mL and detected using the diagnostic kit from Example 2. A negative control solution was used as a negative control. A 450 The lowest concentration of recombinant FomA protein corresponding to a value greater than or equal to 2.1 times the average value of the negative control is used as the sensitivity of this method for detecting the recombinant antigen.
[0100] The results are as follows Figure 3 As shown in the left figure, when the recombinant FomA protein was diluted to 3.9 ng / mL, A 450 =0.259, which is higher than the cutoff value (0.25). Therefore, according to the above judgment criteria, the sensitivity of the diagnostic kit in Example 2 for detecting recombinant FomA protein is approximately 3.9 ng / mL.
[0101] 2. Sensitivity determination of natural Fn-FomA protein The Fn culture supernatant was serially diluted eight times, starting at 1:100, and detected using the diagnostic kit from Example 2. Normal culture medium was used as a negative control. A 450 The lowest dilution concentration corresponding to a value greater than or equal to 2.1 times the average value of the negative control is used as the sensitivity of this method for detecting natural antigens.
[0102] The results are as follows Figure 3 As shown in the right figure, when the supernatant of the Fn culture was diluted to 1:1600, A 450 =0.289, which is higher than the cutoff value (0.25). Therefore, according to the above judgment criteria, the sensitivity of the diagnostic kit in Example 2 for detecting natural FomA protein is approximately equivalent to 1:1600 diluted Fn culture supernatant.
[0103] Example 4: Validation of the therapeutic function of Fn-FomA monoclonal antibody This embodiment demonstrates the protective function of the antibody prepared in Example 1 in animals.
[0104] 1. Experimental Methods The experimental procedure was as follows: Thirty-two 6-8 week old female C57BL / 6 mice were randomly divided into four groups (n=8 per group, 4 mice per cage, for a total of 8 cages). All mice were administered a quadruple antibiotic ABX (vancomycin 100 mg / kg, neomycin, metronidazole, and ampicillin 200 mg / kg each) by gavage for 5 consecutive days to clear intestinal bacteria. On the evening of the seventh day after antibiotic treatment, eight 8-week-old male mice of similar weight were randomly assigned to the eight cages in the four groups for co-hospitalization. On the morning of the eighth day, the female mice were examined, and any mating plugs were immediately removed. Simultaneously, male mice were exchanged between cages, continuing this process for 2-3 days until all female mice were pregnant. During this period, the protective effect of the antibodies on the mice was observed by continuous Fn / PBS gavage and tail vein injection. The experiment was repeated three times.
[0105] The specific experimental plans for the four groups are as follows: 1) PBS Control Group: Mice that had completed ABX treatment were administered 200 μL / mouse of PBS by gavage once a day for 25 consecutive days; 2) Fn treatment group (Fn): Fn was counted by colony count at a ratio of 10-1. 8 Mice that had completed ABX treatment were administered CFU / 200 μL / mouse via gavage once a day for 25 consecutive days. 3) Fn combined with FAME67 monoclonal antibody treatment group (Fn+FAME67): After 5 days of ABX treatment, mice were first injected with FAME67 monoclonal antibody (100ug / mouse) via tail vein, followed by 10 8 Mice were administered CFU at a dose of 200 μL / mouse once a day for 25 consecutive days. 4) Fn combined with FAMD6 monoclonal antibody treatment group (Fn+FAMD6): After 5 days of ABX treatment, mice were first injected with FAMD6 monoclonal antibody (100ug / mouse) via tail vein, followed by 10 8 Mice were administered CFU / 200μL / mouse via gavage once a day for 25 consecutive days.
[0106] 2. Experimental Results The results are as follows Figure 4 As shown, compared with the Fn treatment group alone, the injection of monoclonal antibodies FAME67 and FAMD6 improved the pregnancy rate of female mice. Among them, FAMD6 had higher protective effect and the difference was statistically significant (P = 0.001). The pregnancy rate of mice reached 75%, which was not significantly different from the PBS control group (P>0.05).
