Technology Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for the prevention or treatment of degenerative brain disease comprising one or more of an anti-CD300c antibody and an antigen-binding fragment thereof; a method for the prevention or treatment of degenerative brain disease using the same; a feed composition or food composition for the prevention or improvement of degenerative brain disease comprising one or more of an anti-CD300c antibody and an antigen-binding fragment thereof; and the use of the anti-CD300c antibody and / or the antigen-binding fragment thereof for the prevention or treatment of degenerative brain disease. Background Technology
[0003] Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a representative example of a degenerative brain disease characterized by the progressive loss of cognitive and memory functions and neurodegeneration of the central nervous system, accounting for approximately 50% of all forms of dementia. AD is characterized by the presence of amyloid plaques, neurofibrillary tangles, synaptic loss, and selective neurogenic death. Amyloid plaques are caused by abnormal levels of extracellular amyloid beta-peptides, while neurofibrillary tangles are associated with the presence of intracellular hyperphosphorylated tau protein. Symptoms are characterized by forgetfulness, along with dysphasia, dyspraxia, and agnosia (the inability to recognize objects, people, sounds, shapes, or scents), which contribute to their association with cortical association sites. The incidence of AD increases particularly after age 65 and is rapidly rising worldwide as the population ages.
[0004] While commercially available AD treatments help improve cognitive function, they are primarily composed of AChE inhibitors and NMDA receptor antagonists aimed at temporary symptom relief. Aducanumab, a monoclonal antibody drug targeting amyloid beta, received FDA approval in 2021; unlike previous symptom-relief agents, it is a treatment that targets the underlying pathophysiology, although there is controversy regarding its efficacy and side effects. Additionally, research has been reported on treating Alzheimer's disease by targeting the PD-1 / PD-L1 signaling pathway (Non-patent Literature 1). This study suggested the potential of immunological methods, indicating that blocking PD-1 / PD-L1 signaling increased monocyte-derived macrophages in the brain parenchyma, consequently leading to a reduction in plaques and brain lesions. Although developing AD treatments is difficult and has a very low success rate, the acceleration of the aging society, the increase in AD patients, and the growing socioeconomic burden caused by AD necessitate the development of various drugs for fundamental treatment rather than just symptom relief.
[0005] Meanwhile, CD300c (CD300 antigen-like family member C) protein is a protein encoded by the CD300c gene in humans, and it is present on the surface of various tumor cells and monocytes. It has been revealed that inhibiting the activity or expression of CD300c protein can reduce the proliferation of cancer cells by improving immune function (e.g., T cell activation) through this (Patent Document 1).

[0015] This is explained in detail as follows. Meanwhile, each description and embodiment disclosed in the present invention may be applied to other descriptions and embodiments. That is, all combinations of the various elements disclosed in the present invention fall within the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, the scope of the present invention should not be considered limited by the specific descriptions provided below. Additionally, numerous papers and patent documents are referenced and cited throughout this specification. The disclosures of the cited papers and patent documents are incorporated by reference into this specification in their entirety to more clearly explain the level of the art to which the present invention pertains and the content of the present invention.
[0017] One aspect of the present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition for the prevention or treatment of a degenerative brain disease, comprising one or more of an anti-CD300c antibody and an antigen-binding fragment thereof as an active ingredient.
[0018] In one embodiment, the antibody of the present invention may have the ability to promote differentiation from monocytes into MDM (Monocyte-derived macrophage) or M1 macrophage, and may have an increased ability compared to general therapeutic agents for neurodegenerative diseases and immunotherapies, but is not limited thereto. In the present invention, MDM may be M1-MDM.
[0019] In the present invention, the anti-CD300c antibody and its antigen-binding fragment refer to antigen-binding molecules capable of specifically binding to the CD300c protein, and may, but are not limited to, inhibit the reaction of CD300c.
[0020] In the present invention, the term "CD300c" is used interchangeably with "CD300c protein" or "CD300c antigen," and is a type of CD300 family cell surface cell involved in immune regulation that may be expressed in antigen-presenting cells, cancer cells, or immune cells, but is not limited thereto.
[0021] In the present invention, the term "antibody" refers to a proteinaceous molecule capable of specifically recognizing an antigenic site, comprising an immunoglobulin or a part thereof that is immunologically reactive with a specific antigen. The antibodies of the present invention include polyclonal antibodies, monoclonal antibodies, whole antibodies, and antibody fragments. Furthermore, the antibodies of the present invention include antibodies from mice, humans, rabbits, and rats, without being limited to their origin. The antibodies of the present invention include animal antibodies, chimeric antibodies (e.g., humanized murine antibodies), humanized antibodies, multispecific antibodies, bivalent or bispecific molecules (e.g., bispecific antibodies), diabodies, triabodidies, tetrabodies, minibodies, and antibody fusions (e.g., fusions of antibodies and (poly)peptides or fusions of antibodies and compounds). The antibodies of the present invention further comprise short-chain antibodies having a binding function to FcRn (neonatal Fc receptor), scaffolds, derivatives of antibody constant regions, and artificial antibodies based on protein scaffolds. The total antibody has a structure having two full-length light chains (LC) and two full-length heavy chains (HC), and each light chain may be connected to the heavy chain by a disulfide bond. The total antibody includes any antibody such as IgA, IgD, IgE, IgM, and IgG, wherein IgG includes subtypes IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4. Such antibodies may be prepared by cloning each gene into an expression vector according to a conventional method to obtain a protein encoded by said marker gene, and from the obtained protein by a conventional method, but are not limited thereto.
[0022] In the present invention, the prefix "anti-" indicates that, when associated with an antigen, the corresponding antibody is reactive with that antigen. Antibodies reactive with a specific antigen may be produced by synthetic and / or recombinant methods, such as the selection of a recombinant antibody library from a phage or similar vector, or by the immunization of animals using an antigen or antigen-coding nucleic acid, but are not limited thereto.
[0023] In one embodiment, the anti-CD300c antibody of the present invention may mean an antibody that is reactive with CD300c.
[0025] In the present invention, the term “fragment” or “antibody fragment” refers to any part of an antibody, and may include scFv, dsFv, Fab, Fab’, F(ab’)2, Fc, Fd, sdAb, nanobody, and combinations thereof, and may include an antibody fragment, and may include an antigen recognition site, but is not limited thereto.
[0026] In the present invention, the term "antigen-binding fragment" refers to a fragment possessing an antigen-binding function. In the present invention, the antigen-binding fragment may be a fragment comprising a site capable of recognizing an antigenic site.
[0027] In the present invention, Fd refers to the heavy chain portion included in the Fab fragment. In the present invention, Fab has a structure having a variable region of the light and heavy chains, a constant region of the light chain, and a first constant region of the heavy chain (CH1 domain), and has one antigen-binding site. Fab' differs from Fab in that it has a hinge region containing one or more cysteine residues at the C-terminus of the heavy chain CH1 domain. The F(ab')2 antibody is generated when the cysteine residues in the hinge region of Fab' form disulfide bonds. Fv (variable fragment) refers to the smallest antibody fragment having only the heavy chain variable region and the light chain variable region. In a double disulfide Fv (dsFv), the heavy chain variable region and the light chain variable region are connected by disulfide bonds, and in a single chain variable fragment (scFv), the heavy chain variable region and the light chain variable region are generally connected by covalent bonds through a peptide linker. A double disulfide single chain Fv may be a single chain Fv in which the heavy chain variable region and the light chain variable region are additionally connected by disulfide bonds. The above sdAb and nanobody are single variable domain antibody fragments, and may include, for example, antibody fragments produced by protein hydrolysis or genetic recombination technology among heavy chain antibodies containing a naturally occurring single variable domain (VH) and two constant domains (CH2 and CH3), and single domain antibody fragments produced by artificially modifying the antibody light chain or heavy chain variable domain, but are not limited thereto. These antibody fragments can be obtained using proteolytic enzymes (for example, Fab can be obtained by restricting the whole antibody with papain and F(ab')2 fragment can be obtained by cleaving it with pepsin), or produced through recombinant technology, but are not limited thereto.
[0029] In one embodiment, the anti-CD300c antibody of the present invention may be a monoclonal antibody.
[0030] In the present invention, the term “monoclonal antibody” refers to an antibody molecule of a single molecular composition obtained from substantially the same group of antibodies, and such monoclonal antibodies exhibit single binding specificity and affinity for a specific epitope.
[0032] Generally, antibodies have a heavy chain and a light chain, and each heavy chain and light chain includes a constant region and a variable region. The variable regions of the light chain and heavy chain include three variable regions called complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) and four structural regions (FRs).
[0033] The above CDRs primarily serve to bind to the epitope of the antigen. The CDRs of each chain are typically named sequentially starting from the N-terminus as CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3, and are also identified by the chain in which a specific CDR is located. The complementarity determining region is situated between regions called the relatively conservative, constant region (FR). Each VH (heavy chain variable region) and VL (light chain variable region) consists of three CDRs and four FRs, arranged in the following order from the amino-terminus to the carboxy-terminus: FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, and FR4. The variable regions of the heavy and light chains contain binding domains that interact with the antigen. The CDRs of the heavy chain variable region may be referred to as HCDR1, HCDR2, and HCDR3, the CDRs of the light chain variable region as LCDR1, LCDR2, and LCDR3, the FRs of the heavy chain variable region as HFR1, HFR2, HFR3, and HFR4, and the FRs of the light chain variable region as LFR1, LFR2, LFR3, and LFR4.

[0108] In the present invention, the variable region CDR was determined by a conventional method according to a system devised by Kabat et al. (see reference [Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest (5th), National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD. (1991)]). Although the CDR numbering used in the present invention utilized the Kabat method, antibodies containing CDRs determined by other methods, such as the IMGT method, the Chothia method, and the AbM method, are also included within the scope of the present invention.
[0109] When the antibody of the present invention includes a constant region, it may include a constant region derived from IgG, IgA, IgD, IgE, IgM, or a combination thereof or a hybrid thereof.
[0110] In the present invention, the term “combination” means that when forming a dimer or a multimer, a polypeptide encoding a single-chain immunoglobulin constant region of the same origin forms a combination with a single-chain polypeptide of a different origin. For example, a dimer or a multimer can be formed from two or more constant regions selected from the group consisting of the constant regions of IgG, IgA, IgD, IgE, and IgM.
[0111] In the present invention, the term "hybrid" means that there are sequences corresponding to two or more immunoglobulin heavy chain constant regions of different origin within a short-chain immunoglobulin heavy chain constant region, and, for example, a hybrid of a domain consisting of one to four domains selected from the group consisting of CH1, CH2, CH3, and CH4 of IgG, IgA, IgD, IgE, and IgM is possible.
[0112] In addition, in the present invention, the origin of the variable region and the constant region of the antibody may be the same or different, and the origin of the variable region and the constant region excluding the CDR may be the same or different.
[0114] As one embodiment of the above-described embodiment, any one or more of the anti-CD300c antibody and antigen-binding fragment may include a sequence having sequence identity of 80% or more, 85% or more, 90% or more, more preferably 95% or more, and most preferably 98% or more compared to the CDR sequence or heavy chain variable region and light chain variable region sequence presented in Table 1.
[0115] As an exemplary embodiment, amino acid sequence variants of the antibody of the present invention may be considered. Variants produced to the extent generally practiced in the art to maintain or enhance the function of the anti-CD300c antibody and its antigen-binding fragment of the present invention, provided that the anti-CD300c antibody and its antigen-binding fragment of the present invention possess characteristics identical to or equivalent to those of the present invention, may also be included in the present invention. For example, this may involve improving the binding affinity and / or other biological properties of the antibody. Amino acid sequence variants of the antibody may be produced by introducing appropriate modifications into the nucleotide sequence encoding the molecule or by peptide synthesis. Such modifications include, for example, the deletion of residues from the amino acid sequence of the antibody and / or the insertion of residues into such amino acid sequence and / or the substitution of residues within such amino acid sequence. Any combination of deletions, insertions, and substitutions may be performed to arrive at a final construct, but the final construct must possess desired properties, for example, antigen-binding properties. The sites of interest for substitution mutagenicity include the heavy chain variable region (HVR) and the backbone region (FR). Conservative substitutions are provided in Table 2 under the item “Desired substitutions” and are further described below in relation to amino acid side chain classes (1) to (6). Amino acid substitutions can be introduced into products screened for molecules of interest and desired activities, e.g., maintained / improved antigen binding, reduced immunogenicity, or improved ADCC or CDC.

[0118] Amino acids can be grouped as follows according to their typical side chain properties:
[0119] (1) Hydrophobic: Norleucine, Met, Ala, Val, Leu, Ile;
[0120] (2) Neutral hydrophilic: Cys, Ser, Thr, Asn, Gln;
[0121] (3) Acids: Asp, Glu;
[0122] (4) Basics: His, Lys, Arg;
[0123] (5) Residues affecting chain orientation: Gly, Pro;
[0124] (6) Aromatic: Trp, Tyr, Phe.
[0125] Non-conservative substitution involves exchanging a member of one of these classes for another.
[0126] In the present invention, the term "amino acid sequence variant" comprises a substantial variant in which amino acid substitutions exist at one or more hypervariable region residues of a parent antibody-binding molecule (e.g., humanized or human antibody). Generally, variants selected and generated for further study will have modifications, such as improvements (e.g., increased affinity, decreased immunogenicity) of specific biological properties compared to the parent antibody-binding molecule, or will substantially retain specific biological properties of the parent antigen-binding molecule. An exemplary substitution variant is an affinity-maturing antibody, which can be conveniently generated, for example, using phage display-based affinity maturation techniques known in the art. Briefly, one or more HVR (Hyper-variable region) residues are mutated, and variant antigen-binding molecules are displayed on phages to screen for specific biological activities (e.g., binding affinity). In a specific embodiment, substitutions, insertions, or deletions may occur within one or more HVRs, provided that such changes do not substantially reduce the ability of the antigen-binding molecule to bind to the antigen. For example, conservative modifications that do not substantially reduce binding affinity (e.g., conservative substitutions as provided herein) may be made in HVR. Amino acid sequence insertions may include the insertion of a single or multiple amino acid residues into the sequence, as well as amino-terminal and / or carboxyl-terminal fusions ranging in length from one residue to a polypeptide containing one hundred or more residues. Examples of terminal insertions include antibodies having an N-terminal methionyl residue. Other insertion variants of the molecule may include fusions to the N-terminus or C-terminus of the polypeptide to increase the serum half-life of the antibody. Additionally, other insertion variants of the molecule may include fusions to the N-terminus or C-terminus of the polypeptide to facilitate passage across the blood-brain barrier (BBB).

[0190] The present invention will be explained in more detail below through examples. However, the following examples are merely preferred embodiments for illustrating the present invention and are therefore not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Meanwhile, technical matters not described in this specification can be fully understood and easily implemented by a person skilled in the art in the field of the present invention or a similar field.
[0192] Example 1. Preparation of anti-CD300c antibodies (CB201, CL10, and SL18)
[0193] An antibody expression vector was constructed by separating the heavy and light chains using a nucleotide sequence encoding an anti-CD300c monoclonal antibody that specifically binds to the CD300c antigen with high binding affinity.
[0194] To this end, genes for expressing the heavy and light chains were inserted into the pCIW3.3 vector using the CB201 CDR sequences (the amino acid sequence of CB201 and the polynucleotide sequence encoding it) shown in Tables 3 and 4 and the sequence list. A known method was used for vector construction. The constructed CB201 heavy and light chain expression vectors were mixed with PEI (polyethylenimine) in a 1:1 mass ratio and transfected into 293T (human colorectal cancer cell line) cells to induce antibody expression. On day 8, the culture medium was centrifuged to remove the cells, and the culture medium was obtained. The obtained culture medium was filtered and then resuspended in a solution containing a mixture of 0.1 M NaH2PO4 and 0.1 M Na2HPO4 (pH 7.0). The resuspended solution was purified by affinity chromatography using protein A beads (GE healthcare) and finally eluted using elution buffer (Thermofisher).

[0205] Example 2. Confirmation of binding affinity of anti-CD300c monoclonal antibody to CD300c antigen (I): Conjugation ELISA
[0206] CD300c antigen (250 µg / mL) was diluted to a concentration of 800 ng / mL in coating buffer (0.1 M sodium carbonate, pH 9.0), and 100 µL of this solution was added to each well of a 96-well microplate and incubated overnight at 4°C. The next day, the microplate was washed three times with 200 µL of PBST. Afterward, 200 µL of blocking buffer (5% skim milk) was added to each well and blocked at room temperature for 1 hour.
[0207] The anti-CD300c monoclonal antibody CB201 was diluted to 200 µg / mL in PBS, and the concentration was verified using a Nanodrop (product name: NanoDrop One / Onec). Subsequently, CB201 was quadrupled from 10 µg / mL in PBS, and 100 µL was added to each well. The mixture was then incubated at room temperature for 1 hour and washed three times with 200 µL of PBST. 100 µL of the secondary antibody (conjugated anti-Fc IgG), diluted 1:10,000 in blocking buffer, was added to each well and incubated at room temperature for 1 hour. Afterward, 200 µL of PBST was added and washed three times. Next, TMB and hydrogen peroxide were mixed in a 1:1 ratio, and 100 µL was added to each well. The mixture was then incubated at room temperature for 7 to 9 minutes. After that, 50 µl of 1 N sulfuric acid was added to stop the color development, and the binding affinity results were obtained by measuring the value appearing at 450 nm using a microplate reader (product name: Varioskan LUX).
[0208] In addition, the anti-CD300c monoclonal antibodies CL10 and SL18 also obtained binding affinity results in the same manner as CB201.
[0210] As a result, as shown in Figure 1, it was confirmed that the anti-CD300c monoclonal antibodies CB201, CL10, and SL18 all bind to CD300c in a concentration-dependent manner, which indicates that the anti-CD300c monoclonal antibodies CB201, CL10, and SL18 all have excellent binding affinity and specificity for the antigen CD300c.
[0212] From the above results, it was confirmed that the anti-CD300c monoclonal antibodies not only have excellent binding affinity and specificity for CD300c, but antibodies CB201, CL10, and SL18 are all anti-CD300c monoclonal antibodies with similar properties, which is due to the similar variable region sequences of the three antibodies as shown in Figure 2.
[0214] Example 3. Confirmation of binding affinity of anti-CD300c monoclonal antibody to CD300c antigen (II): Surface plasmon resonance (SPR)
[0215] Surface plasmon resonance experiments were conducted to further confirm the binding affinity between the antigen CD300c and the anti-CD300c monoclonal antibody CB201.
[0216] To immobilize CD300c on a CM5 chip, 5 µg / ml of CD300c was diluted in 10 mM acetate buffer (pH 5.5). Then, the flow rate was set to 10 ml / min for all samples, and the target RU (Resonance Units) for each sample was set to 300 RU. The CM5 chip was activated with a mixture of 0.2 M EDC and 0.05 M NHS and blocked with 1 M ethanolamine to immobilize the CM5 chip such that the final RU of CD300c was 399.2 RU. Subsequently, CB201 was diluted in PBST to concentrations of 0, 0.195, 0.39, 0.78, 1.56, 3.125, and 6.25 µg / ml, respectively, and a kinetics / affinity test was performed with a binding time of 240 seconds, a dissociation time of 900 seconds, and a flow rate of 30 µl / min. Afterward, the surface was regenerated by flowing 50 mM NaOH over the CD300c-immobilized CM5 chip at a rate of 30 µl / min for 30 seconds.
[0217] As a result, as shown in Figure 3, the KD value was analyzed to be 5.199E-10 M, and the binding affinity of the anti-CD300c monoclonal antibody was confirmed to be 0.52 nM, which is a subnanomol level. This means that the binding power of the anti-CD300c monoclonal antibody to the antigen is high.
[0219] Example 4. Confirmation of Cell Antigen Recognition by Anti-CD300c Monoclonal Antibody
[0220] FACS binding was performed to confirm that the anti-CD300c monoclonal antibody (CB201) recognizes cell antigens.
[0221] To this end, CD300c was overexpressed in 293T cells (ATCC), and then these cells were [strained] 2 x 10⁶ per microcentrifuge tube 5The cells were dispensed. Then, anti-CD300c monoclonal antibodies serially diluted three-fold starting from 10 µg / ml were reacted with the cells in a CO2 incubator for 30 minutes, and the tubes were washed twice with FACS buffer. Subsequently, FITC-conjugated anti-human IgG(H+L) diluted 1:100 in FACS buffer was reacted with the anti-CD300c monoclonal antibodies bound to the cells in a CO2 incubator for 30 minutes, and the tubes were washed twice with FACS buffer. Next, the FITC signal was measured using a Beckman Coulter CytoFLEX instrument, and the MFI value was calculated using the CytExpert program. Using the obtained MFI value, a sigmoidal curve was plotted using the sigmaplot program to calculate the EC50 (The effective concentration of drug that causes 50% of the maximum response). As a result, an EC50 of 2.7 nM was obtained for 293T cells.
[0222] As shown in Figure 4, in the S-shaped curve resulting from FACS binding, the anti-CD300c monoclonal antibody bound to CD300c overexpressed on the surface of 293T cells with strong binding affinity. Therefore, it was confirmed that the anti-CD300c monoclonal antibody binds antigen-specifically to CD300c even at the cellular level.
[0224] Example 5. Confirmation of promotion of differentiation ability into MDM (Monocyte-derived macrophage) (I): Observation of cell morphology
[0225] To confirm the morphological pattern of differentiation from monocytes to MDM (Monocyte-derived macrophage) when monocytes were treated with an anti-CD300c monoclonal antibody, THP-1 cells (human monocyte cell line) treated with 10 μg / ml of the anti-CD300c monoclonal antibody CB201 were cultured for 48 hours, after which the cell morphology was observed under a microscope.
[0226] As a result, as shown in Figure 5, it was confirmed that in the experimental group (CB201) treated with the anti-CD300c monoclonal antibody, the morphology of THP-1 cells changed from suspension cells to round adherent cells in the form of MDM.
[0227] Through the above results, it was confirmed that treatment with the anti-CD300c monoclonal antibody promotes differentiation from monocyte cells into MDM.
[0229] Example 6. Confirmation of Promotion of Differentiation Ability into MDM (II): Cell Signaling
[0230] To further confirm that the differentiation ability from monocytes to MDMs increases when THP-1 cells are treated with CB201, an anti-CD300c monoclonal antibody, the signaling of MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase) and NF-kB, which are representative signals of MDM differentiation, was examined.
[0231] To this end, 8.8 x 10⁻⁶ in a 6-well plate 5 THP-1 cells were dispensed into wells and treated with 10 μg / mL of anti-CD300c monoclonal antibody. As a control, an equal amount of phosphate buffer (PBS) was injected. After incubating them for 48 hours, phosphorylated SAPK / JNK, phosphorylated ERK (p44 / 42), and phosphorylated p38 for MAPK signaling, and phosphorylated NF-kB for NF-kB signaling were confirmed by Western blotting.
[0232] From this, the results confirming the signal transduction of MAPK and NF-Kb, respectively, are shown in Figure 6. It was confirmed that the amount of phosphorylated MAPK and NF-kB increased when anti-CD300c was treated compared to the control group.
[0233] Through the above results, it was confirmed that cell signaling for differentiation into MDM increased when treated with the anti-CD300c monoclonal antibody.

[0236] To confirm the MDM differentiation ability of the anti-CD300c monoclonal antibody and other antibodies, 8.8 x 10⁶ in a 6-well plate 5 THP-1 cells were dispensed into wells, and treated with 10 μg / mL of the anti-CD300c monoclonal antibody CB201. The production of MDM differentiation markers TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-8 was confirmed using an ELISA kit. As another antibody, a human IgG isotype control was treated at a concentration of 10 μg / mL, and the production of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-8 was confirmed using an ELISA kit.
[0237] In addition, anti-CD300c monoclonal antibodies CL10 and SL18 were also treated to THP-1 cells in the same manner as CB201, and the amount of TNF-α produced was confirmed using an ELISA kit, and the results are shown in Figure 7 (CB201) and Figure 8 (CL10 and SL18).
[0238] As shown in Figure 7, it was confirmed that the anti-CD300c monoclonal antibody CB201 significantly increased the production of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-8 compared to the control group treated with the isotype control alone. Similarly, as shown in Figure 8, it was confirmed that the anti-CD300c monoclonal antibodies CL10 and SL18 significantly increased the production of TNF-α compared to the control group treated with the isotype control alone. This suggests that the anti-CD300c monoclonal antibodies CL10 and SL18 have similar characteristics to CB201.
[0239] Through the above results, it was confirmed that the anti-CD300c monoclonal antibody significantly increases the differentiation ability of monocytes into MDMs.
[0241] Example 8. Confirmation of Promotion of Differentiation Ability into MDM by Anti-CD300c Monoclonal Antibody (III): Identification of Extracellular Protein Expression Markers
[0242] To confirm the effect of CB201, an anti-CD300c monoclonal antibody, on differentiating monocytes into MDMs, changes in the expression of proteins that are MDM differentiation markers were examined via FACS in THP-1 cells treated with CB201 in the same manner as in Example 6. As a result of examining the changes in expression using respective antibodies that recognize the monocyte marker CD11b, the MDM marker CD80, and the M2 macrophage marker CD206, it was confirmed that the MDM marker CB80 increased in cells treated with CB201, as shown in Figure 9.
[0243] From the above results, it was confirmed that treating monocytes with CB201, an anti-CD300c monoclonal antibody, increased the expression of the MDM marker among extracellular proteins. Through this, it was confirmed that CB201 differentiates monocytes into MDM.
[0245] Example 9. Preparation of a mouse model of a degenerative brain disease.
[0246] Eight male and eight female 4-8 week old 5xFAD mice (source: Jackson lab) and three male and three female 6-week old B6SJLF1 / J mice (source: Jackson lab) were purchased and their health status was confirmed by observing general symptoms after an acclimatization period of about 4-5 months, and healthy animals were used in the experiment. 5xFAD mice are mice mutated to express human APP (Amyloid Precursor Protein) and PSEN1 genes that cause a total of five AD-related mutations (Swedish (K670N / M671L), Florida (I716V), London (V717I) mutations of APP, and M146L, L286V mutations of PSEN1), and were selected as a suitable model for pathological studies related to neuronal damage diseases, including Alzheimer's disease symptoms as well as dementia (Tatsuhiro Ayabe et al, The Neuroscience of Dementia, 2020, Vol. 2, 833-847). The experiment was conducted in Animal Rearing Area No. 3 of Notus Co., Ltd., with environmental conditions set to a temperature of 23±3℃, relative humidity of 55±15%, ventilation rate of 10–20 times / hr, lighting time of 12 hours (lights turned on at 8:00 AM to off at 8:00 PM), and illuminance of 150–300 Lux. The experimental animals were classified into three groups: a normal mouse group (G1), a degenerative brain disease mouse group (hereinafter, 5xFAD control group; G2), and a CB201-administered degenerative brain disease mouse group (hereinafter, CB201 administration group; G3). The CB201 administration group was administered CB201 at a dose of 40 mg / kg, while the control groups (normal mouse group and 5xFAD control group) were administered PBS at an equal volume. The test substance was administered intraperitoneally a total of two times: on the test substance start date (Day 0) and on the 25th day after the start of administration (Day 25). Refer to Table 9 below for the mouse groups used in the study.

[0250] Example 10. In vivo ( in vivo Confirmation of the effect of anti-CD300c monoclonal antibody on increasing MDM in ).
[0251] To determine whether the anti-CD300c monoclonal antibody increases MDM in a mouse model, brain tissue was extracted from mice administered CB201 by the method of Example 9 (CB201 administration group; G3), and the ratio of MDM in the brain tissue was determined using antibodies against iNOS, an MDM marker, and CD206, an M2 macrophage marker.
[0252] In addition, an experimental group of mice administered an anti-PD-1 antibody was also prepared by administering 40 mg / kg of PD-1 antibody instead of 40 mg / kg of CB201 to 5xFAD mice in the same manner as the preparation of the CB201 administration group in Example 9.
[0253] As a result, as shown in Figure 10, in the brain tissue of the experimental group administered an anti-PD-1 antibody, which is known to have an effect of improving symptoms of neurodegenerative disease as an immunotherapeutic agent, MDM was slightly increased (iNOS was slightly increased) compared to the control group (neurodegenerative brain disease mice in Table 9; G2), but in the brain tissue of the experimental group administered an anti-CD300c monoclonal antibody (CB201) (CB201 administration group in Table 9; G3), MDM was significantly increased (iNOS was significantly increased) compared to the control group and M2 macrophages were hardly observed.
[0254] From the above results, it was confirmed that the anti-CD300c monoclonal antibody CB201 has a significant effect in differentiating monocytes into MDMs compared to other immunotherapies.
[0256] Example 11. Confirmation of increased expression of MDM differentiation genes by anti-CD300c monoclonal antibody
[0257] To confirm the effect of the anti-CD300c monoclonal antibody CB201 on brain MDM under in vivo conditions, brain tissue was extracted from mice in the CB201 administration group (G3 in Table 9) prepared as in Example 9, and the cells were stained with a stain for confirming cell viability (DAPI), a total monocyte marker F4 / 80, and an antibody against the MDM marker CD11b (Source: Invitrogen). Subsequently, the data was read using a CytoFLEX flow cytometer, and the resulting data was analyzed using FlowJo software.
[0258] As a result of quantifying each marker relative to surviving cells, as shown in Fig. 11, it was confirmed that in mouse brain tissue treated with the anti-CD300c monoclonal antibody alone compared to the control group, the expression level of the monocyte marker F4 / 80 was similar, while the expression level of the MDM differentiation marker CD11b increased (corresponding to M1 MDM in CD11b+ in Fig. 11).
[0259] As described below, it has been confirmed that the anti-CD300c monoclonal antibody has a therapeutic effect on neurodegenerative diseases. The aforementioned results suggest that the therapeutic effect on neurodegenerative diseases is achieved by increasing MDM differentiation in brain tissue through the administration of the anti-CD300c monoclonal antibody.
[0261] Example 12. Nanostring Immunoprofiling
[0262] To confirm changes in immune cells and the brain tissue environment within a mouse model of neurodegenerative disease when an anti-CD300c monoclonal antibody (CB201) was administered, brain tissue was extracted from mice in the CB201 administration group (G3 in Table 9) prepared as in Example 9. RNA was extracted and purified from the tissue, and changes in monocyte markers were confirmed through nanostring immune profiling, a known method. The results observed in comparison with the control group are shown in Figure 12.
[0263] As shown in Figure 12, upon administration of the anti-CD300c monoclonal antibody, it was confirmed that the expression of MDM differentiation markers CD163, Siglec1, Lyve1, and C4b increased, and the expression of IL-10, which exacerbates the progression of neurodegenerative diseases in the brain, decreased. Through this, it was confirmed that the brain's immune system changes in a direction that leads to the differentiation of MDM in brain tissue and the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.
[0265] Example 13. Y-maze test
[0266] We purchased 6-week-old 5xFAD mice and, after an acclimatization period of about 5 months, developed a neurodegenerative disease model that exhibits symptoms related to neuronal damage, including neurodegenerative disease symptoms.
[0267] Subsequently, 40 mpk of the anti-CD300c monoclonal antibody (CB201) was administered via IP (intraperitoneal) to a neurodegenerative disease model, followed by another administration on the 28th day, and a Y-maze test was performed on the 31st day, while the control group was injected with an equal amount of PBS. The timing of the experiment is shown in Figure 13.
[0268] The experimental apparatus for the Y-maze test consisted of a Y-shaped maze constructed from black acrylic plates (10 cm x 41 cm x 25 cm). The mazes were designated as areas A, B, and C, and experimental animals were placed in random areas and allowed to move freely for 7 minutes. The number of times and the order in which each animal entered each maze were measured to evaluate spontaneous alteration (%). If an animal entered three different areas sequentially, it was counted as 1 point (in the order of alteration, ABC, BCA, CAB, etc.); if it did not enter sequentially, no score was awarded. Spontaneous alteration (% spontaneous alteration) was calculated using the following formula.
[0270]
[0272] As a result, as shown in Figure 15, experimental results showed that while the ability to change was reduced in the mouse model of neurodegenerative disease compared to normal mice (G1; wild type) (G2; 5XFAD+Mock), when CB201 was administered to the mouse model of neurodegenerative disease (G3; 5XFAD+CB201), the ability to change was restored to 87% of the level of normal mice (G1; wild type). The above results suggest that the anti-CD300c monoclonal antibody can be a drug that can alleviate symptoms such as cognitive decline and reduced ability to change that may be caused by neurodegenerative disease.
[0274] Example 14. Morris Underwater Maze Test
[0275] After administering CB201 to mice of a degenerative brain disease model in the same manner as in Example 13, the Morris water maze test was performed on days 35–40. The experimental equipment consisted of a circular tank (stainless steel, diameter 150 cm, height 45 cm), an escape platform (diameter 10 cm, height 30 cm), and four markers attached to the wall to remember the location of the escape platform. The tank was filled with water at a temperature of approximately 22 ± 2 ℃, and the escape platform was positioned either 1 cm above the water surface or 0.5–1.5 cm below the water surface, depending on the experimental purpose. When positioned below the water surface, the water was opaque using white water-based paint so that the escape platform was not visible to the naked eye. The underwater maze was divided into quadrants: Northeast (NE), Northwest (NW), Southeast (SE), and Southwest (SW). An escape platform was placed in the center of the Northeast quadrant, and one of the remaining quadrants was used as the starting position. The experiment was conducted for a total of 6 days, and the starting quadrants and escape platform locations for the animals are indicated in Table 10 below.
[0277] 1 day 2 days 3 days 4 days 5 days 6th Escape location Starting direction Escape location: Southwest, Starting location: As follows No escape squad Test 1 southwest other west north north dong north Test 2 northwest north other west dong other Test 3 northeast other north dong west west Test 4 center dong dong west other dong Test 5 southeast west other other north north Note that on Day 1, both the escape platform location and the starting direction change, whereas on Days 2 through 5, the escape platform location remains constant while the starting direction changes. On Day 6, there is no escape platform, and the test is performed once. Since the starting direction on Day 6 is the farthest from the previous escape platform location (SW), a certain distance must be moved before entering the previously learned escape platform quadrant.
[0278] On Day 1, cued learning was performed by providing a cue by making the escape bar visible. Each individual was attempted 5 times at 15-second intervals, with a time limit of 60 seconds. If the animal found the escape bar within 60 seconds, it was allowed to stay on the escape bar for 5 seconds and then immediately moved to the rearing cage; if it did not find the escape bar within 60 seconds, it was placed on the escape bar for 20 seconds and then immediately moved to the rearing cage.
[0279] From day 2 to day 5, the animals were instructed to memorize a hidden platform by placing the escape platform below the water surface. Each individual attempted this five times at 15-second intervals. A time limit of 60 seconds was set; if the escape platform was found within 60 seconds, the animal was allowed to remain on the platform for 5 seconds and then immediately moved to its rearing cage. If the escape platform was not found within 60 seconds, the animal was placed on the platform for 20 seconds and then immediately moved to its rearing cage.
[0280] On Day 6, a Prospective Randomized Open Blinded End-Point (Probe) Trial was conducted. Without placing an escape platform, the animals were placed in the quadrant furthest from where the escape platform had been located during the experiments on Days 2 through 5, and a single trial was performed with a time limit of 60 seconds. The escape latency—the time it took for the animals to find the escape platform—and the path length to find it were measured and recorded during the cue learning and hidden platform trials. Swimming speed was calculated by dividing the path length by the escape latency. During the probe trial on Day 6, the time the animals spent in the quadrant where the escape platform had previously been located was recorded.
[0281] The aforementioned Y-maze test was filmed as shown in Fig. 14. As shown in Figs. 14 and 15, the experimental results showed that the Time spent in platform quadrants (TSPQ) decreased in the mouse model of neurodegenerative disease compared to normal mice (G1; wild type) (G2; 5XFAD+Mock), whereas in the group administered CB201 to the mouse model of neurodegenerative disease (G3; 5XFAD+CB201), the TSPQ recovered to 107% compared to normal mice (G1; wild type). These results confirm that the administration of CB201 to disease model mice restores cognitive ability and memory in the mouse model of neurodegenerative disease.
[0283] Example 15. Statistical Analysis
[0284] Assuming normality of the data for the test results, a parametric one-way ANOVA was performed. If the results were significant, a post-hoc test was conducted using Dunnett's multiple comparison test to analyze significant differences between the test groups. Statistical analysis was performed using Prism 7.04 (GraphPad Software Inc., San Diego, CA, USA), and a p-value of less than 0.05 was deemed statistically significant.
