AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The anti-cadherin antibody demonstrates enhanced ADCC activity, making it a potent anticancer agent by specifically targeting cancer cells expressing cadherin, thereby improving therapeutic outcomes with reduced side effects.

Problems solved by technology

Cancer is a crucial disease that becomes a leading cause of death, but the therapeutic needs thereof have not yet been satisfied.
However, although there is a report regarding the association of a domain structure with the functions of classical cadherins including a P-cadherin, there are no reports suggesting the association of the level of ADCC activity with the structures of classical cadherins.

Establishment of CDH3-Expressing CHO Cell Line

[0090]In order to obtain a cell line used in the screening of an anti-CDH3 antibody, CHO cells that expressed full-length CDH3 were established.

(1) Preparation of Expression Vector for CDH3 Gene

[0091]In order to insert full-length human CDH3 DNA shown in SEQ ID NO: 1 into a mammalian expression vector pEF4 / myc-HisB (Invitrogen), the DNA was treated with two types of restriction enzymes KpnI (Takara Bio Inc.) and XbaI (Takara Bio Inc.) at 37° C. for 1 hour, and it was then inserted into pEF4 / myc-HisB treated with the same KpnI and XbaI according to an ordinary method using T4 DNA ligase (Promega), so as to obtain an expression vector pEF4-CDH3-myc-His.

(2) Achievement of CDH3 Stably Expressing Cell Line

[0092]In accordance with the protocols of FuGENE (registered trademark) 6 transfection reagent (Roche Diagnostics), on the day before transfection, CHO cells (8×105 cells) were inoculated on a dish with a diameter of 10 cm, and they were the...

Preparation of Soluble CDH3 Antigen

[0094]A soluble CDH3 (sCDH3) protein, in which its C-terminal transmembrane region and the subsequent regions were deleted, was prepared to be used as an immunogen in the production of an anti-CDH3 antibody.

(1) Preparation of Expression Vector for Soluble CDH3 Antigen

[0095]Using full-length CDH3 cDNA as a template, a PCR reaction was carried out employing a forward primer (SEQ ID NO. 7: CGCGGTACCATGGGGCTCCCTCGT (hCDH3 Full FW)) and a reverse primer (SEQ ID NO. 8: CCGTCTAGATAACCTCCCTTCCAGGGTCC (hCDH3 Solb RV)) that had been designed to amplify a region corresponding to a CDH3 extracellular region (which corresponds to 1-654 of SEQ ID NO: 2; hereinafter referred to as sCDH3 cDNA). KOD-Plus (Toyobo Co., Ltd.) was used in the reaction, and the reaction was carried out under reaction conditions consisting of 30 cycles of 94° C.-15 seconds, 55° C.-30 seconds and 68° C.-90 seconds.

[0096]Thereafter, a gel fragment containing an approximately 2.0 kbp band t...

Production of Anti-CDH3 Monoclonal Antibody

(1) Preparation of Monoclonal Antibody Using Soluble CDH3 Protein as Immunogen

[0100]50 μg of a soluble CDH3 protein dissolved in a normal saline and Titer-MAX Gold (registered trademark) (TiterMax) were mixed at equal volume. The obtained mixture was injected into the abdominal cavity and subcutis of an MRL / lpr mouse (Japan SLC, Inc.) so as to carry out initial immunization. The second immunization and the subsequent immunizations were carried out by mixing a soluble CDH3 protein (protein amount: 25 μg) that had been prepared in the same manner as described above with Titer-MAX gold and then injecting the obtained mixture into the abdominal cavity and subcutis of the mouse. Three days after the final immunization, splenic cells were aseptically prepared from the mouse, and the splenic cells were then fused with mouse myeloma cells SP2 / O-Ag14 or P3-X63-Ag8.653 according to an ordinary method (polyethylene glycol method).

Abstract

It is an object of the present invention to provide an anti-cadherin antibody having high antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity. The present invention provides an anti-cadherin antibody, which recognizes any one of an upstream region of EC1, a cadherin domain 4 (EC4) and a cadherin domain 5 (EC5), wherein an antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity at an antibody concentration of 1 μg / mL is 30% or more.

Description

[0001]This is a divisional application of U.S. application Ser. No. 13 / 318,422 filed on Feb. 7, 2012, which is the national stage 371 application of PCT International Application No. PCT / JP2010 / 057694 filed on Apr. 30, 2010, which claims the benefit of priority of JP 2009-111834, filed on May 1, 2009 and JP 2010-018416 filed on Jan. 29, 2010. The entire contents of each of the above-identified applications are hereby incorporated by reference.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]The present invention relates to an anti-cadherin antibody that recognizes a specific domain of a cadherin and has high antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity.BACKGROUND ART[0003]Cancer is a crucial disease that becomes a leading cause of death, but the therapeutic needs thereof have not yet been satisfied. In recent years, in order to solve the problem of the conventional chemotherapy in that it affects even normal cells, a cancer treatment using a molecular-targeted agent has been vigorously studied. In this cancer trea...
