Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, and specifically relates to an anti-CRR9 monoclonal antibody or antibody fragment with high blocking activity and its applications. Background Art

[0002] CRR9 protein (full English name: Cisplatin Resistance-Related Protein 9, full Chinese name: cisplatin resistance-related protein 9), also known as CLPTM1L (Cleft Lip And Palate Transmembrane Protein 1-Like Protein). Human CRR9 protein (Uniprot protein database number is Q96KA5, https: / / www.uniprot.org / uniprot / Q96KA5) is a multi-transmembrane protein with six transmembrane domains and a full length of 538 amino acids. Both the N-terminal and C-terminal of the protein are located in the cytoplasm, and there are three segments (amino acids 32-284, 343-346, and 424-428 respectively) located outside the cell membrane. Among them, the peptide segment located outside the cell membrane from position 32 to 284 is the largest extracellular structure of this protein composed of 253 amino acids.

[0003] Cisplatin, also known as cis-diammineplatinum(II) dichloride, CAS NO. 15663-27-1, is a potent anti-tumor drug based on a platinum structure, an alkylating agent that forms cytotoxic adducts with DNA, induces intra-strand and inter-strand cross-links, blocks DNA replication and transcription, and ultimately causes apoptosis. Cisplatin is one of the most commonly used chemotherapeutic drugs and is currently used clinically to treat various cancer types such as testicular cancer, ovarian cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, head and neck cancer, bladder cancer, gastric cancer, and other malignancies. Unfortunately, many cancers initially respond to platinum-based treatment, but when the tumor recurs, drug resistance often occurs, resulting in treatment failure and disease progression. Therefore, solving platinum resistance is one of the major issues urgently needed to be addressed in the medical field. Research has found that platinum resistance is mainly attributed to three molecular mechanisms: increased DNA repair ability in cancer cells, altered cell accumulation (such as reduced cellular uptake of platinum and enhanced efflux mechanisms), and increased inactivation of platinum drugs (Amable L. Pharmacol Res. 2016 Apr; 106:27-36).

[0004] CRR9 was first discovered in 2001 by Japanese professor K. Yamamoto while studying the resistance of ovarian cancer cells to cisplatin. Because of its close association with cisplatin resistance, it was named cisplatin resistance-associated protein 9 (Yamamoto K, et al. Biochem Biophys Res Commun. 2001; 280(4):1148-54). CRR9 has also been found to be widely and highly expressed in human lung cancer tissues, and high CRR9 expression is negatively correlated with the survival prognosis of lung cancer patients. Furthermore, reducing the expression level of CRR9 protein in lung cancer cell lines through in vitro intervention can inhibit the migration and invasion of tumor cells.

[0005] CRR9 membrane protein holds promise as a novel target for the treatment and diagnosis of lung and ovarian cancer. Targeting CRR9 could potentially improve the treatment outcomes of lung and ovarian cancer, reduce resistance to cisplatin-based chemotherapy drugs, significantly improve treatment efficacy, and prolong the survival of cancer patients. However, there are currently no mature monoclonal antibodies targeting CRR9 that have been developed on the market.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a monoclonal antibody that targets CRR9 with high affinity and high blocking activity. Summary of the Invention

[0039] the term

[0040] "Monoclonal antibody" refers to a preparation of an antibody molecule consisting of a single amino acid, not to the method of its production. Monoclonal antibodies or their antigen-binding fragments can be produced, for example, by hybridoma technology, recombinant technology, phage display technology, synthetic technology such as CDR grafting, or a combination of such or other techniques known in the art.

[0041] "Affinity" refers to the strength of the sum of all non-covalent interactions between a single binding site of a molecule (e.g., an antibody) and its binding partner (e.g., an antigen). Unless otherwise stated, "binding affinity" herein refers to the intrinsic binding affinity that reflects a 1:1 interaction between an antibody and an antigen. Affinity can be measured by methods commonly known in the art, including those known in the prior art and those described herein.

[0042] The term "competition" in the context of competing antigen-binding proteins (e.g., neutralizing antigen-binding proteins or neutralizing antibodies) for the same epitope refers to competition between antigen-binding proteins, as determined by an assay in which the antigen-binding protein to be detected (e.g., an antibody or its immunologically functional fragment) prevents or inhibits (e.g., reduces) the specific binding of a reference antigen-binding protein (e.g., a ligand or reference antibody) to a common antigen (e.g., CRR9 or a fragment thereof). Numerous types of competitive binding assays can be used to determine whether one antigen-binding protein is competing with another. Competitive inhibition is measured by measuring the amount of a label bound to a solid surface or cell in the presence of the antigen-binding protein being tested. Typically, the antigen-binding protein being tested is present in excess. Antigen-binding proteins identified by competitive assays (competing antigen-binding proteins) include: antigen-binding proteins that bind to the same epitope as a reference antigen-binding protein; and antigen-binding proteins that bind to a neighboring epitope sufficiently close to the binding epitope of the reference antigen-binding protein, the two epitopes spatially preventing each other from binding.

[0043] Methods for producing and purifying antibodies and antigen-binding fragments are well-known and publicly available in the prior art, such as the Cold Spring Harbor Guide to Antibody Laboratory Techniques. For example, mice can be immunized with human CRR9 or fragments thereof, and the resulting antibodies can be refolded, purified, and subjected to amino acid sequencing using conventional methods. Antigen-binding fragments can also be prepared using conventional methods.

[0044] "Treatment" means administering an oral or topical therapeutic agent, such as a composition containing a CRR9 antibody or its antigen-binding fragment, to a patient who has symptoms of one or more diseases. Typically, a therapeutic agent is administered in a treated patient or population in an amount that effectively relieves symptoms of one or more diseases, whether by inducing the regression of such symptoms or inhibiting their progression to any clinically measurable extent. The amount of a therapeutic agent that effectively relieves any specific disease symptom (also called the "therapeutic effective dose") can vary depending on a variety of factors, such as the patient's disease state, age, and weight, and the drug's ability to produce the desired therapeutic effect. Whether the disease symptoms have been relieved can be evaluated using any clinical test that a physician or other healthcare professional typically uses to assess the severity or progression of the symptoms.

[0045] An "effective dose" includes a dose sufficient to improve or prevent the symptoms or condition of a medical condition. An effective dose also means a dose sufficient to allow or facilitate diagnosis. The effective dose for a particular patient or veterinary subject can vary depending on factors such as the condition to be treated, the patient's overall health, the route and dosage of administration, and the severity of side effects. An effective dose can be the maximum dose or administration regimen that avoids significant side effects or toxicity.

[0046] "Pharmaceutical composition" refers to a mixture containing one or more of the CRR9 antibodies or their antigen-binding fragments described herein, along with other pharmaceutical components such as physiological / pharmaceutical-grade carriers and excipients. The purpose of a pharmaceutical composition is to facilitate administration to a living organism, thereby promoting the absorption of the active ingredient and the exertment of its biological activity.

[0047] The present invention will be further illustrated below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Experimental methods in the following embodiments, unless otherwise specified, are generally performed under conventional conditions or as recommended by the manufacturer. Reagents not specifically named are commercially available, conventional reagents.

[0048] Example 1: Obtaining a mouse monoclonal antibody specifically against CRR9 using fusion hybridoma technology.

[0049] 1.1 Animal Immunization

[0050] Mice were immunized according to the methods commonly used in the literature (E Harlow, D. Lane, Antibody: A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, Cold Spring Harbor, NY, 1998). Recombinant human CRR9 protein (i.e., human CRR9-TEV-Fc protein, prepared internally, wherein the human CRR9 protein sequence was selected from Uniprot No. Q96KA5, 32-284aa) was used as the immunogen.

[0051] To enhance the immune response, Freund's complete adjuvant and Freund's incomplete adjuvant (Sigma, St. Louis, Mo., USA) were used for the initial immunization and booster immunizations, respectively. Briefly, a human CRR9-TEV-Fc antigen protein solution was prepared with PBS, and the required amount of Freund's adjuvant was added to prepare an adjuvant-antigen mixture. The adjuvant and protein antigen solutions were thoroughly mixed by vortexing, and the antigen was emulsified using a syringe to form a stable water-in-oil solution, which was then injected into the animals. Based on serum titer results, 2 to 3 booster immunizations are usually required after the initial immunization to achieve a good immune effect. Mice with high serum titers were selected for intraperitoneal injection, and cell fusion was performed after the final immunization.

[0052] 1.2 Hybridoma Fusion and Screening

[0053] Prior to cell fusion, mouse myeloma cells (SP2 / 0-Ag14, ATCC#CRL-1581) were in logarithmic growth phase. Following the method described by Kohler G and Milstein C in “Continuous cultures of fused cells secreting antibody of predefined specificity,” Nature, 256:495-497 (1975), immunized mice were sacrificed, their spleens were harvested in a sterile environment, and fused with myeloma cells.

[0054] The fused "hybrid cells" were then aliquoted into 96-well cell culture media containing HAT. Viable hybridoma cells were typically observed under a microscope 7-10 days after fusion. Two weeks after cell seeding, the culture supernatant from each well was collected, and hybridomas were screened using ELISA with recombinant human CRR9-TEV-Fc protein antigen. In short, the ELISA plate was coated overnight with human CRR9-TEV-Fc protein at 4°C. The plate was washed four times with PBST (PBS solution containing 0.05% Tween 20) and then blocked with 200 μl / well of blocking buffer (PBST containing 5% skim milk powder). Diluted mouse immune serum (for determining mouse serum titer) or hybridoma supernatant was added to each well, and the plate was incubated at 37°C for 40 minutes. After washing four more times with PBST, the plate was detected using GAM(Fc)-HRP (Jackson ImmunoResearch, Cat#115-035-071). After washing the plate four times with PBST, add 100 μl / well of TMB (InnoReagents, Cat#TMB-S-002) chromogenic substrate and incubate at room temperature for 5 to 15 minutes. Then stop the incubation with 1M sulfuric acid solution and measure the absorbance at 450 nm for each well. Pick out the hybridoma cells that are positive for ELISA binding and transfer them to 24-well plates for further culture.

[0055] Hybridoma clones that produce antibodies with high specificity binding to human CRR9 and blocking activity with CRR9 / GRP78 ligands are subcloned using the limiting dilution method to ensure the clonability of the cell line, and then mouse monoclonal antibodies are prepared and purified.

[0056] Example 2: Study on the binding activity of mouse anti-CRR9 monoclonal antibody

[0057] The mouse anti-CRR9 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) generated from the hybridoma clone in Example 1 were further tested for their binding activity using the following method.

[0058] Antibody binding ability is measured using capture ELISA.

[0059] 96-well ELISA plates were coated with GAM(Fc) (Jackson Immuno Research, Cat#115-006-071, 100 μl / well) prepared in PBS to a final concentration of 2 μg / ml and incubated at 37°C for at least 2 h. The ELISA plates were washed four times with PBST, then blocked with 200 μl / well of 5% w / v skim milk-PBST buffer and incubated at 37°C for 40 min. After washing four times with PBST, the plates were incubated with 100 μl / well of different concentrations (serially diluted 5-fold) of CRR9 mouse monoclonal antibody at 37°C for 40 min, followed by four more washes. The ELISA plate containing the CRR9-capturing antibody was incubated with 100 μl / well of biotin-labeled human CRR9-TEV-Fc protein (0.2 μg / ml) at 37°C for 40 minutes. The plate was then washed four times with PBST and incubated with secondary antibody SA-HRP (Jackson Immuno Research, Cat#016-030-084) at 37°C for 40 minutes. Finally, 100 μl / well of ELISA substrate TMB was added, and the reaction was terminated within 15 minutes with 50 μl / well of 1M H2SO4 at 25°C. The absorbance at 450 nm was measured. The results are shown in Table 1. Figure 1 .

[0060] Table 1 and Figure 1 The results show that the antibody A1D4B1E7 of the present invention has a good binding ability to human CRR9 protein.

[0062]

[0063] Example 3: Competitive functional blocking ability of mouse anti-CRR9 monoclonal antibody against CRR9-GRP78 interaction

[0064] Ligand blocking ELISA was used to detect the blocking ability of antibodies against CRR9-GRP78 interaction using competitive ELISA. Studies have shown (William R Clarke et al. Int J Cancer. 2019 Mar 15; 144(6): 1367-1378.) that the extracellular domain of CRR9 protein interacts with GRP78 protein on the membrane surface, thereby activating intracellular survival signals. This CRR9 / GRP78 pathway may be involved in CRR9-mediated chemotherapy drug resistance in cancer cells. Therefore, antibodies that block CRR9 / GRP78 interaction may have the functional activity of inhibiting cancer cell proliferation. In short, human GRP78-his protein (internal expression, where the human GRP78 sequence is selected from Uniprot No. P11021, 19-654aa) was added at 200 ng / well to 96-well microplates and incubated overnight at 4°C. Then the plates were washed with PBST and blocked at 37°C for 2 h with PBST containing 5% w / v skim milk powder. Wash the plate four more times with PBST.

[0065] CRR9 antibody was diluted with biotin-labeled human CRR9-TEV-Fc buffer (fixed concentration 0.2 μg / ml) (antibody was diluted 5-fold sequentially starting at 66.7 nM) and incubated at room temperature for 40 minutes. The antibody / CRR9-biotin mixture was then added to GRP78-coated plates and incubated at 37°C for 40 minutes, followed by washing four times with PBST. Secondary antibody SA-HRP (Jackson Immuno Research, Cat#016-030-084) was then added and incubated at 37°C for 40 minutes, followed by washing four times with PBST. Finally, TMB was added, and the reaction was terminated with 1 M H2SO4. The absorbance was measured at 450 nm. The data were analyzed using Graphpad Prism software to obtain the IC50 values. 50 Values, specific results are shown in Table 2 and Figure 2 .

[0066] From Table 2 and Figure 2 It can be seen that the antibody A1D4B1E7 of the present invention can block human CRR9-GRP78 interaction and has good CRR9-GRP78 blocking activity.

[0068]

[0069] Example 4: DNA cloning and sequencing, sequence analysis of anti-CRR9 antibody

[0070] Total RNA was extracted from the hybridoma cells of Example 1 using Trizol reagent (Invitrogen, catalog #15596-018).

[0071] The process is briefly described below: Centrifuge and collect 5×10⁵ samples. 6 Cells were transferred to 1.5 ml centrifuge tubes, and the supernatant was aspirated. 1 ml of Trizol reagent was added, and the tubes were repeatedly pipetted several times before incubating at 25°C for 5 minutes to lyse the cells. Immediately afterwards, 0.2 ml of chloroform solution was added to each tube, and the tubes were vigorously vortexed for 15 seconds, then incubated at room temperature for 3 minutes. The tubes were then centrifuged at 12000 g for 10 minutes at 4°C. The upper aqueous phase was transferred to a new 1.5 ml centrifuge tube, and 0.4 ml of isopropanol was added to precipitate RNA from the aqueous phase. The EP tubes were manually mixed and incubated at 25°C for 10 minutes, then centrifuged at 12000 g for 10 minutes at 4°C, and the supernatant was discarded. 1 ml of 75% ethanol was added, and the tubes were centrifuged again at 7500 rpm for 5 minutes at 4°C, and the supernatant was discarded. The RNA precipitate at the bottom of the tube was allowed to dry at room temperature for 10 minutes, and then 30 to 50 μL of sterile DEPC-treated water was added to dissolve the RNA sample.

[0072] Next, the total RNA was converted into cDNA using Taraka's reverse transcription cDNA kit (catalog #6110A). The experimental system was prepared as follows: 5 μl total RNA + 0.5 μl Oligo(dT) + 8.5 μl RNase-free water (total 14 μl). The mixture was first pre-denatured at 65°C for 5 min, then placed on ice for 2 min. Next, 4 μl 5× buffer + 1 μl dNTP mixture + 0.5 μl RNase inhibitor + 1 μl reverse transcriptase (total 20.5 μl) were added, mixed well, and incubated at 40°C for 50 min, followed by incubation at 70°C for 10 min to complete cDNA synthesis. The cDNA was further poly-G added to the 3' end. The reaction system was prepared as follows: 5 μl cDNA sample + 33.5 μl ddH2O + 5 μl 10×TdT buffer + 5 μl CoCl2 + 1 μl dGTP + 0.5 μl terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (total volume 50 μl). The mixture was incubated at 37 °C for 30 min, and then at 70 °C for 10 min to complete the poly-G tailing.

[0073] Further, the tailed cDNA was used as a template for gene amplification of the antibody variable region. For amplifying the antibody heavy chain variable region sequence, the PCR reaction system was prepared as follows: 5 μl 10×Taq enzyme buffer + 0.5 μl universal poly C primer (forward primer) + 0.5 μl mouse IgG1 reverse primer + 1 μl dNTP + 1 μl Taq polymerase + 1 μl cDNA + 41 μl ddH2O. For amplifying the antibody light chain variable region sequence, the PCR reaction system was prepared as follows: 5 μl 10×Taq enzyme buffer + 0.5 μl universal poly C primer (forward primer) + 0.5 μl mouse IgG kappa chain reverse primer + 1 μl dNTP + 1 μl Taq polymerase + 1 μl cDNA + 41 μl ddH2O. The temperature cycling for PCR amplification of the antibody heavy and light chain variable regions was as follows (steps 2 to 4 were repeated 25 times):

[0074] 1) Pre-denaturation at 95℃ for 5 minutes;

[0075] 2) Denaturation at 95℃ for 20 seconds;

[0076] 3) Anneal at 56℃ for 20 seconds;

[0077] 4) Extend to 72℃ for 30 seconds;

[0078] 5) Store at 25℃ for 60 minutes.

[0079] PCR products were analyzed by 1% agarose gel electrophoresis, and corresponding DNA bands (VH approximately 600 bp, VK approximately 500 bp) were excised. DNA extraction was performed using the QIAquick Gel DNA Recovery Kit (catalog #28704). The procedure is briefly described as follows: The gel was weighed, and 3 volumes of QG buffer were added. The gel was then incubated at 50°C for 10 minutes until completely dissolved. 1 volume of isopropanol was added and mixed thoroughly. The sample was then transferred to a QIA purification column and centrifuged at 13000 rpm for 1 minute. 750 μl of PE buffer was added to the column, and the column was centrifuged again at 13000 rpm for 1 minute. A second centrifugation at 13000 rpm was performed to remove any remaining liquid. 30 μl of water was added, and the column was eluted by centrifugation at 13000 rpm for 1 minute to obtain the prepared DNA sample. The purified PCR product was sequenced to obtain the variable region sequence of the antibody.
