Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a single-domain antibody (hereinafter abbreviated as "IL1RAcP single-domain antibody") capable of specifically binding to IL1RAcP, a pharmaceutical composition containing the single-domain antibody as an active ingredient, and its use in pharmaceutical therapy. Background Technology

[0002] Interleukin-1 receptor accessory protein (IL1RAcP) is an important component of the interleukin-1 (IL-1) signaling pathway. It participates in the formation of the IL-1 / IL-1RI (interleukin-1 receptor type I) / IL1RAcP complex, recruits adaptor proteins and downstream signaling intermediates, activates protein kinases, and ultimately induces the synthesis of pro-inflammatory mediators and the occurrence of acute inflammatory responses.

[0003] In some recent studies, IL-1 has been reported to stimulate the expansion of most primary AML patient samples while inhibiting the growth of normal progenitor cells (Carey 2017, Cell Reports 18, 3204-3218). Furthermore, IL-1 promotes the expansion of CML stem cells but has no effect on the expansion of healthy hematopoietic stem cells (2016, Blood 128:2683). Additionally, IL-1 receptor antagonist protein (IL-1RA) blocks the growth of CML cells, suggesting that IL-1 neutralizing IL1RAcP mAb would have similar activity (Zhang 2016, Blood 128:2671). The role of IL1RAcP in leukemia is also supported by clinical data showing that AML patients with high IL1RAcP expression have reduced survival, thus strongly linking IL1RAcP to AML disease progression (Barreyro 2012, Blood 120:1290).

[0004] Nanobodies are a rising star in the antibody field. Due to their small molecular weight, bivalent, trivalent, or bispecific antibodies can be obtained through simple molecular cloning techniques. Because of their small molecular size, nanobodies can achieve high yields in both prokaryotic expression systems (E. coli) and eukaryotic expression systems (CHO cells, 293 cells, etc.). The rapid development of nanobodies represents a powerful force with immense potential in antibody drug development, signifying an important direction for future antibody drug development. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this patent is to provide a single-domain antibody that can specifically bind to IL1RAcP and its uses.

[0006] A first aspect of the present invention provides a single-domain antibody against IL1RAcP, said single-domain antibody being composed of heavy chains, the heavy chains including heavy chain CDR1 shown in any one of SEQ ID NO:19-SEQ ID NO:20, heavy chain CDR2 shown in any one of SEQ ID NO:21-SEQ ID NO:22, and heavy chain CDR3 shown in any one of SEQ ID NO:23-SEQ ID NO:27. The single-domain antibody against IL1RAcP is a single-domain antibody targeting IL1RAcP.

[0007] Preferably, the amino acid sequences of the heavy chain CDR1, heavy chain CDR2 and heavy chain CDR3 are one of the following (1)-(6):

[0008] (1) CDR1 shown in SEQ ID NO:20, CDR2 shown in SEQ ID NO:22, and CDR3 shown in SEQ ID NO:24;

[0009] (2) CDR1 shown in SEQ ID NO:19, CDR2 shown in SEQ ID NO:22, and CDR3 shown in SEQ ID NO:25;

[0010] (3) CDR1 shown in SEQ ID NO:19, CDR2 shown in SEQ ID NO:22, and CDR3 shown in SEQ ID NO:27;

[0011] (4) CDR1 shown in SEQ ID NO:19, CDR2 shown in SEQ ID NO:22, and CDR3 shown in SEQ ID NO:26;

[0012] (5) CDR1 shown in SEQ ID NO:19, CDR2 shown in SEQ ID NO:22, and CDR3 shown in SEQ ID NO:23;

[0013] (6) CDR1 shown in SEQ ID NO:19, CDR2 shown in SEQ ID NO:21, and CDR3 shown in SEQ ID NO:24. The above 6 CDR combinations (1)-(6) correspond to SEQ ID NO.1-6 in sequence.

[0014] All of the above sequences can be replaced with sequences that have "at least 80% homology" or sequences that replace only one or a few amino acids; preferably "at least 85% homology", more preferably "at least 90% homology", even more preferably "at least 95% homology", and most preferably "at least 98% homology".

[0015] In one embodiment, in any one or more CDRs of the heavy chain CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3, one to five arbitrary amino acid residues may be substituted with their conserved amino acids. Specifically, in the heavy chain CDR1, one to five amino acid residues may be substituted with their conserved amino acids; in the heavy chain CDR2, one to five amino acid residues may be substituted with their conserved amino acids; and in the heavy chain CDR3, one to five amino acid residues may be substituted with their conserved amino acids.

[0016] As used herein, the term "sequence homology" refers to the degree to which two (nucleotide or amino acid) sequences have identical residues at the same positions in an alignment, and is typically expressed as a percentage. Preferably, homology is determined over the overall length of the sequences being compared. Thus, two copies having completely identical sequences have 100% homology.

[0017] In some embodiments, the inventive objective can also be achieved by substituting only one or a few amino acids compared to the aforementioned sequence, for example, by including 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 conserved amino acid substitutions. These variations include (but are not limited to): deletions, insertions, and / or substitutions of one or more amino acids (typically 1-50, preferably 1-30, more preferably 1-20, most preferably 1-10), and the addition of one or more amino acids (typically up to 20, preferably up to 10, most preferably up to 5) at the C-terminus and / or N-terminus. In practice, when determining the degree of sequence homology between two amino acid sequences or when determining the combination of CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3 in a single-domain antibody, those skilled in the art can consider so-called “conserved” amino acid substitutions, in which case the substitution would preferably be a conserved amino acid substitution. A conserved amino acid can generally be described as an amino acid residue substituted by another amino acid residue having a similar chemical structure, and this substitution has little or no effect on the function, activity, or other biological properties of the polypeptide. The conserved amino acid substitutions are common in the art. For example, a conserved amino acid substitution is the substitution of one or a few amino acids in the following groups (a)-(d) by another or a few amino acids in the same group: (a) polar negatively charged residues and their non-charged amides: Asp, Asn, Glu, Gln; (b) polar positively charged residues: His, Arg, Lys; (c) aromatic residues: Phe, Trp, Tyr; (d) aliphatic nonpolar or weakly polar residues: Ala, Ser, Thr, Gly, Pro, Met, Leu, Ile, Val, Cys. The particularly preferred conserved amino acid substitutions are as follows: Asp is replaced by Glu; Asn is replaced by Gln or His; Glu is replaced by Asp; Gln is replaced by Asn; His is replaced by Asn or Gln; Arg is replaced by Lys; Lys is replaced by Arg or Gln; Phe is replaced by Met, Leu, or Tyr; Trp is replaced by Tyr; Tyr is replaced by Phe or Trp; Ala is replaced by Gly or Ser; Ser is replaced by Thr; Thr is replaced by Ser; Gly is replaced by Ala or Pro; Met is replaced by Leu, Tyr, or Ile; Leu is replaced by Ile or Val; Ile is replaced by Leu or Val; Val is replaced by Ile or Leu; Cys is replaced by Ser. Furthermore, those skilled in the art will understand that the inventiveness of the single-domain antibody lies in the CDR1-3 regions, while the frame region sequences FR1-4 are not immutable, and the sequences of FR1-4 can adopt conserved sequence variants of the sequences disclosed in this invention.

[0018] The term "single-domain antibody against IL1RAcP" in this invention includes not only complete single-domain antibodies but also fragments, derivatives, and analogs of such single-domain antibodies against IL1RAcP. As used herein, the terms "fragment," "derivative," and "analyte" have the same meaning and refer to polypeptides that substantially retain the same biological function or activity as the antibodies of this invention. The polypeptide fragments, derivatives, or analogs of this invention may be (i) polypeptides in which one or more conserved or non-conserved amino acid residues (preferably conserved amino acid residues) are substituted, and such substituted amino acid residues may or may not be encoded by the genetic code; or (ii) polypeptides having substituent groups in one or more amino acid residues; or (iii) polypeptides formed by fusing a mature polypeptide with another compound (e.g., a compound that extends the half-life of the polypeptide, such as polyethylene glycol); or (iv) polypeptides formed by fusing an additional amino acid sequence to this polypeptide sequence (e.g., a leader sequence or secretion sequence, or a sequence used to purify this polypeptide, or a proteogenic sequence, or a fusion protein formed with an Fc tag). Based on the teachings herein, these fragments, derivatives, and analogs are within the scope well known to those skilled in the art.

[0065] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can implement it based on the description.

[0066] As used herein, “sdAb” (also referred to as nanobodies or VHH by the developer Ablynx) is well known to those skilled in the art. A single-domain antibody is an antibody whose complementarity-determining region is part of a single-domain polypeptide. Therefore, a single-domain antibody contains a single complementarity-determining region (a single CDR1, a single CDR2, and a single CDR3). Examples of single-domain antibodies include antibodies containing only heavy chains (which naturally do not contain light chains), single-domain antibodies derived from conventional antibodies, and engineered antibodies.

[0067] Single-domain antibodies can be derived from any species, including mice, humans, camels, llamas, goats, rabbits, and cattle. For example, naturally occurring VHH molecules can be derived from antibodies provided by camelid species such as camels, dromedaries, llamas, and guanacos. Like complete antibodies, single-domain antibodies can selectively bind to specific antigens. Single-domain antibodies may contain only variable domains of the immunoglobulin chain, which have CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3, as well as a frame region.

[0068] As used herein, the term "sequence homology" refers to the degree to which two (nucleotide or amino acid) sequences have identical residues at the same positions in an alignment, and is typically expressed as a percentage. Preferably, homology is determined over the overall length of the sequences being compared. Thus, two copies having completely identical sequences have 100% homology.

[0069] As used in this article, the term "Fc fusion antibody" refers to a novel protein produced by fusing the Fc fragment of a target antibody with a biologically active functional protein molecule using genetic engineering techniques.

[0070] The term "humanized antibody" refers to an antibody obtained by fusing the heavy chain variable region of a target antibody (such as an animal antibody) with the constant region of a human antibody, or by transplanting the complementarity-determining region (CDR1-3 sequence) of a target antibody into the variable region of a human antibody, or by mutating the target antibody according to the characteristics of the human antibody backbone region (FR1-4). Humanized antibodies can be produced using synthetic methods or site-directed mutagenesis methods.

[0071] In this invention, sequences with high homology to the CDR1-3 sequences disclosed herein can also yield single-domain antibodies against IL1RAcP. In some embodiments, sequences having "at least 80% homology," or "at least 85% homology," "at least 90% homology," "at least 95% homology," or "at least 98% homology" with the sequences in SEQ ID NO. 1-6 can achieve the purpose of the invention.

[0072] In some embodiments, the inventive objective can also be achieved by replacing only one or a few amino acids compared to the sequences in SEQ ID NO: 1-6, for example, by including 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 conserved amino acid substitutions. In practice, when determining the degree of sequence homology between two amino acid sequences or when determining the combination of CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3 in a single-domain antibody, those skilled in the art can consider so-called “conserved” amino acid substitutions. In the case of substitution, the substitution will preferably be a conserved amino acid substitution, which can generally be described as an amino acid residue substituted by another amino acid residue having a similar chemical structure, and the substitution has little or no effect on the function, activity, or other biological properties of the polypeptide. The conserved amino acid substitutions are common in the art. For example, a conserved amino acid substitution is the substitution of one or a few amino acids in the following groups (a)-(d) by another or a few amino acids in the same group: (a) polar negatively charged residues and their non-charged amides: Asp, Asn, Glu, Gln; (b) polar positively charged residues: His, Arg, Lys; (c) aromatic residues: Phe, Trp, Tyr; (d) aliphatic nonpolar or weakly polar residues: Ala, Ser, Thr, Gly, Pro, Met, Leu, Ile, Val, Cys. The particularly preferred conserved amino acid substitutions are as follows: Asp is replaced by Glu; Asn is replaced by Gln or His; Glu is replaced by Asp; Gln is replaced by Asn; His is replaced by Asn or Gln; Arg is replaced by Lys; Lys is replaced by Arg or Gln; Phe is replaced by Met, Leu, or Tyr; Trp is replaced by Tyr; Tyr is replaced by Phe or Trp; Ala is replaced by Gly or Ser; Ser is replaced by Thr; Thr is replaced by Ser; Gly is replaced by Ala or Pro; Met is replaced by Leu, Tyr, or Ile; Leu is replaced by Ile or Val; Ile is replaced by Leu or Val; Val is replaced by Ile or Leu; Cys is replaced by Ser. Furthermore, those skilled in the art will understand that the inventiveness of the single-domain antibody lies in the CDR1-3 regions, while the frame region sequences FR1-4 are not immutable, and the sequences of FR1-4 can adopt conserved sequence variants of the sequences disclosed in this invention.

[0073] The preferred host cell of the present invention is a bacterial cell, a fungal cell, or a mammalian cell.

[0074] This patent involves preparing a target protein and a truncated form of the target protein using genetic engineering technology. The obtained antigen protein is then used to immunize Bactrian camels in Alashan, Inner Mongolia. After multiple immunizations, peripheral blood lymphocytes or spleen cells of the camels are obtained. Through genetic engineering, the variable region coding sequence of the camel-derived antibody is recombined into a phage display vector. Specific antibodies against the antigen protein are screened using phage display technology, and their ability to bind to the antigen and their application in the treatment of autoimmune diseases are further tested.

[0075] The above technical solution will now be broken down and explained in detail, and described with specific embodiments:

[0076] Example 1: Preparation of recombinant extracellular domain protein of human IL1RAcP:

[0077] The human recombinant extracellular domain protein used in this patent was expressed and purified by the company itself. The specific design scheme of the expression vector for the human recombinant IL1RAcP protein is as follows:

[0078] (1) The coding sequence of IL1RAcP was obtained by searching in NCBI. Its accession number is NM_001167928.1, and the accession number of the amino acid sequence encoded by this sequence is NP_001161400.1.

[0079] (2) The nucleotide sequence encoding amino acids 21 to 359 of IL1RAcP was cloned into the vector pcDNA3.4 using gene synthesis. The constructed vector was subjected to Sanger sequencing and compared with the original sequence. After confirming that there were no errors, the recombinant plasmid was extracted in large quantities, endotoxin was removed, and it was transfected into suspension 293F cells for expression and purification of the target protein. The purity reached more than 90%, which met the requirements for animal immunization.

[0080] Example 2: Construction of a single-domain antibody library targeting the IL1RAcP protein:

[0081] One mg of the purified human recombinant IL1RAcP protein obtained in Example 1 was mixed with an equal volume of Freund's complete adjuvant and used to immunize a Bactrian camel from Alashan, Inner Mongolia. The camel was immunized once a week for a total of 7 weeks. Except for the first immunization, the remaining six immunizations were performed by mixing one mg of IL1RAcP protein with an equal volume of Freund's incomplete adjuvant. This immunization process was intended to concentrate the stimulation of the camel to produce antibodies against IL1RAcP protein.

[0082] After animal immunization, 150 mL of peripheral blood lymphocytes were collected from camels, and RNA was extracted from the cells. cDNA was synthesized using the extracted total RNA, and VHH (antibody heavy chain variable region) was amplified using nested PCR with the cDNA as a template.

[0083] Then, the pMECS vector and VHH fragment were digested with restriction endonucleases, and the digested fragments were ligated to the vector. The ligated fragments were electroporated into competent TG1 cells to construct a phage display library of IL1RAcP protein, and the library size was determined to be approximately 1 × 10⁻⁶. 9 Meanwhile, the correct insertion rate of the target fragment in the library was detected by colony PCR.

[0084] The results showed that after PCR amplification of 30 colonies randomly selected from the library, 28 clones were able to amplify bands of the predicted size, while 2 clones amplified bands incorrectly. Therefore, the correct insertion rate was 28÷30×100%≈93%.

[0085] Example 3: Screening for single-domain antibodies against IL1RAcP protein:

[0086] Take 200 μL of the recombinant TG1 cells from Example 2 and culture them in 2×TY medium. During the culture, add 40 μL of helper phage VCSM13 to infect the TG1 cells and culture them overnight to amplify the phage. The next day, precipitate the phage with PEG / NaCl and collect the amplified phage by centrifugation.

[0087] 500 μg of IL1RAcP protein diluted in 100 mM pH 8.3 NaHCO3 was coupled onto an ELISA plate and incubated overnight at 4°C. A negative control well (culture medium control) was also included. The next day, 200 μL of 3% skim milk was added, and the plate was blocked at room temperature for 2 hours. After blocking, 100 μL of the amplified phage library (approximately 2 × 10⁻⁶) was added. 11 (1 phage particle), incubate at room temperature for 1 hour; after 1 hour, wash 15 times with PBS + 0.05% Tween-20 to remove unbound phage.

[0088] Phages that specifically bind to IL1RAcP protein were dissociated using trypsin at a final concentration of 25 mg / mL and then used to infect E. coli TG1 cells in the logarithmic growth phase. The cells were cultured at 37°C for 1 h to produce and collect phages for the next round of screening. The same screening process was repeated once to gradually enrich the cells.

[0089] When the enrichment factor reaches 10 times or more, the enrichment effect is as follows: Figure 1 As shown.

[0090] Figure 1In this context, P / N = the number of monoclonal bacteria grown from phages eluted from positive wells after infecting TG1 bacteria / the number of monoclonal bacteria grown from phages eluted from negative wells after infecting TG1 bacteria. This parameter gradually increases after enrichment occurs. I / E = the total number of phages added to positive wells in each round of biopanning / the total number of phages eluted from positive wells in each round of biopanning. This parameter gradually approaches the specified value after enrichment occurs.

[0092] Example 4: Screening for specific positive clones against IL1RAcP using phage enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA):

[0093] According to the screening method in Example 3 above, single-domain antibodies against IL1RAcP protein were screened for three rounds. The phage enrichment factor against IL1RAcP protein reached more than 10. After screening, 384 single colonies were selected from the positive clones and inoculated into 96-well plates of 2×TY medium containing 100 μg / mL ampicillin. A blank control was set up. After incubation at 37°C to the logarithmic phase, IPTG was added to a final concentration of 1 mM and incubated overnight at 28°C.

[0094] Crude antibody was obtained using the osmotic burst method. IL1RAcP recombinant protein was released into 100 mM NaHCO3 (pH 8.3), and 100 μg of protein was coated overnight at 4°C in an ELISA plate. 100 μL of the obtained crude antibody extract was transferred to an ELISA plate containing the antigen and incubated at room temperature for 1 h. Unbound antibody was washed away with PBST, and 100 μL of Mouse Anti-HA tag Antibody (HRP) (Mouse anti-HA horseradish peroxidase labeled antibody, ThermoFisher) diluted 1:2000 was added. The plate was incubated at room temperature for 1 h. Unbound antibody was washed away with PBST, and horseradish peroxidase chromogenic solution was added. The reaction was carried out at 37°C for 15 min, and then stop solution was added. The absorbance was read at 450 nm using an ELISA reader.

[0095] When the OD value of the sample well is more than 5 times that of the control well, it is determined to be a positive clone well. The bacteria in the positive clone well are transferred to LB medium containing 100 μg / mL ampicillin for plasmid extraction and sequencing.

[0096] Gene sequences of each clone were analyzed using the sequence alignment software VectorNTI. Clones with identical CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3 sequences were considered the same clone, while clones with different sequences were considered different clones. Finally, single-domain antibodies (SEQ ID NO. 1-6 and 8B2, sequence not shown) specifically targeting the IL1RAcP protein were obtained.

[0097] The amino acid sequence of the antibody is FR1-CDR1-FR2-CDR2-FR3-CDR3-FR4, constituting the entire VHH. The obtained single-domain antibody recombinant plasmid can be expressed in a prokaryotic system to ultimately obtain the single-domain antibody protein.

[0098] The CDR and FR sequences of the six single-domain antibodies are shown in Table 1-7. The amino acid and nucleotide sequences of the six single-domain antibodies are shown in Table 1-7. Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown.

Single colonies were selected and inoculated into 5 mL of LB culture medium containing ampicillin and incubated overnight on a shaker at 37°C.

[0116] Inoculate 1 mL of overnight cultured bacteria into 330 mL of TB culture medium and incubate at 37°C in a shaker. When the OD600nm value reaches 0.6-0.9, add 1 M IPTG and incubate overnight at 28°C in a shaker. Centrifuge to collect E. coli and obtain crude antibody extract using the osmotic rupture method.
