Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of biomedicine, and specifically to a humanized antibody B09 and its application in the preparation of CAR-T cells. Background Art
[0002] CD20 is a transmembrane protein mainly expressed on the surface of B cells and is involved in regulating the development, activation, and differentiation of B cells. In certain diseases, such as non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), the accumulation of abnormal B cells is a key factor in disease development. CD19 is a leukocyte differentiation antigen expressed by B cells and belongs to the Ig superfamily. All B cell lines except plasma cells, and malignant B cells and FDCs will express CD19. It is an important membrane antigen involved in B cell proliferation, differentiation, activation, and antibody production, and can also promote the signal transduction of BCR.
[0003] In CAR-T (chimeric antigen receptor T cell) therapy, CD19 and CD20 have become key targets for the treatment of certain types of B cell malignancies. The tandem CAR-T cell therapy targeting both CD19 and CD20 means targeting two antigens simultaneously in the same CAR structure. The advantages of this design are as follows: 1) Enhanced targeting: By targeting two surface antigens simultaneously, the recognition and killing ability of CAR-T cells against cancer cells can be increased. This is especially beneficial for tumor cells that may evade the attack of single-target CAR-T cells due to reduced expression of one target. 2) Reduced escape: Tumor cells may escape the attack of the immune system by reducing or altering the expression of a certain antigen. By targeting multiple antigens, the tandem CAR-T cell therapy can reduce the risk of tumor escape in patients after cell therapy. 3) Improved efficacy: The dual-target CAR-T therapy may provide a higher therapeutic effect than single-target therapy, especially in cases with limited response to traditional single-target CAR-T therapy. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To provide a more effective treatment method, this application first provides a new single-domain antibody specifically targeting CD20 and optimizes it into a humanized antibody. The humanized CD20 single-domain antibody provided by this application has high affinity and the entire sequence has been modified by humanization, enabling the production of antibodies and CAR-T cells with low immunogenicity. After concatenating the CD20 single-domain antibody of this application with the CD19 antibody obtained through optimization and screening, a bispecific chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) is constructed and CAR-T cells are prepared. The CAR-T cells can specifically recognize CD19 and / or CD20 proteins and kill the cells expressing the corresponding protein targets. Specifically, this application provides the following technical solutions:

[0099] Recognition and binding of CD20 target by Example 1, B09 antibody and 5 humanized antibodies
[0100] Step 1: Screening of antibodies and their humanization
[0101] An antibody B09 specifically targeting CD20 (single-domain antibody, having CDRs shown in SEQ ID NO.1-3, and the full-length amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO.4) was screened. Further, the B09 antibody was optimized for humanized sequence. The humanization degree scoring system used T20score: http: / / abAnalyzer.lakepharma.com for scoring, and 5 antibodies HM1-HM5 with scores higher than 85 were selected.
[0102] The amino acid sequences of the above-mentioned HM1-HM5 are shown in SEQ ID NO.5-9 in sequence. Among them, the sequences of CDR (Complementarity-determining region) are the same as those of the original antibody B09, also shown in SEQ ID NO.1-3, but the framework region (Framework Residue, FR) has changed relative to the original antibody B09.
[0103] Table 1. T20 scores
[0104]
[0105] The above-designed humanized antibodies were respectively subjected to gene synthesis and subcloned into the pcDNA3.4-IgG1Fc expression vector. After the vector was verified by sequencing without error, endotoxin-free plasmid was prepared and the antibody was expressed.
[0106] The steps of vector expression are as follows:
[0107] 1) Take out the LVTransm transfection reagent and antibody expression vector from the refrigerator. After thawing at room temperature, pipette up and down to mix thoroughly. Take out the PBS and warm it to room temperature. Add 4 mL of PBS to one well of a 6-well plate, and add 20 μg of pcDNA3.4-IgG1Fc respectively. After pipetting up and down to mix well, add 60 μL of LVTransm, and immediately pipette up and down to mix. Let it stand at room temperature for 10 minutes.
[0108] 2) Add the above DNA / LVTransm complex to 20 mL of 293F cells, and gently shake to mix well. Place the cells in an incubator at 37 °C and 5% CO2 for further culture.
[0109] 3) After continuous culture for 5 days, centrifuge to collect the culture medium supernatant, filter it through a 0.45 μm filter membrane, collect the supernatant and purify the antibody using a Protein A affinity column. Measure the concentration of the purified antibody and perform SDS-PAGE denaturing electrophoresis simultaneously.
[0110] Step 2: Detection of binding ability
[0111] Flow cytometry detection method:
[0112] 1) Resuscitate CHO and CHO-CD20 cells from liquid nitrogen and adjust the cell state to the logarithmic growth phase.
[0113] 2) Divide the cells into several portions, with the number of cells in each portion being 3×10 5 cells. Add 100 μL of antibody expression supernatant or humanized antibody (30 μg / ml, diluted 3-fold at 10 points) respectively. After mixing well, incubate at room temperature for 1 hour.
[0114] 3) Centrifuge at 800 x g at room temperature for 5 minutes, discard the supernatant containing the antibody, and wash the cells 3 times with PBS.
[0115] 4) Add 100 μL of PE-Anti-human IgG (diluted 1:500), mix well, and incubate at room temperature in the dark for 45 min.
[0116] 5) Centrifuge at 800 x g at room temperature for 5 minutes, discard the supernatant containing the secondary antibody, and wash the cells 3 times with PBS.
[0117] 6) Resuspend the cells with 200 μL of PBS for flow cytometry analysis. Prepare CHO and CHO-CD20 cells, incubate with 100 μL of antibody expression supernatant respectively, and then incubate with the PE anti-human IgG fluorescent secondary antibody for flow cytometry detection.
[0118] Furthermore, flow cytometry was performed using the above method, and the results showed that both B09 and its humanized antibodies HM1-HM5 specifically bound to CD20, and the binding affinity of the humanized antibodies HM1-HM5 to CD20 was better than that of the original antibody B09( Figure 1 ).
[0119] According to the binding strength and humanization degree, humanized antibodies HM3 and HM5 were selected for purification and then reproduced at different concentrations according to the above protocol( Figure 2 ) and the FACS EC50( Figure 3 ) was detected. The results showed that the binding activity of the 8-B09 humanized antibody was consistent with the original one, and the flow cytometry binding of HM5 was stronger.
[0120] Example 2: Selection of B09 - HM5 for construction of CAR vector and verification of CD20 - targeted killing
[0121] Step 1: Construction of vector
[0122] B09-HM5 (nucleic acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO.10, amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO.9 in sequence) was selected to construct a pCDH-EF1a lentiviral expression plasmid containing CAR, and the structure of CAR was as Figure 4 shown. Specifically, the CD8 signal peptide - HM5 antibody - CD8 hinge region - CD8 transmembrane domain (TM, transmembrane) - 41BB co-stimulatory domain - CD3ζ intracellular signaling domain (labeled as CD3z in the figure) were connected in sequence. That is, the amino acid sequence of CAR expressed on the vector was SEQ ID NO.11, 9, 12 - 15 connected in sequence, and the sequence of its encoding nucleic acid was SEQ ID NO.16, 10, 17 - 20 connected in sequence. After the CAR structure, EGFRt was connected through T2A for subsequent fluorescence to reflect the positive rate.
[0123] Step 2: Preparation of lentivirus
[0124] The lentiviral system plasmids (the above pCDH-EF1α lentiviral expression plasmid, PsPAX2, pMD2.G three-plasmid system, mixed at a mass ratio of 3:2:1) were transfected into adherent 293T cells in the logarithmic growth phase. The cell culture supernatant harvested 48 - 72 hours after transfection was concentrated and filtered to obtain CAR lentivirus, which was stored at -80°C for later use.
[0125] Step 3: Isolation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells
[0126] Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from human peripheral blood. T cells were isolated using human CD3 / 28 magnetic beads and virus transduction was performed within 72 hours after activation. After 24 hours of transduction, the culture medium was changed and the cells were cultured until day 8. The cells were collected by centrifugation and resuspended in physiological saline. Flow cytometry was used to identify the EGFRt molecule on the surface of CAR-T cells to ensure that the positive rate was greater than 30%. If the positive rate was lower, EGFRt-PE magnetic beads were used for enrichment sorting.
[0127] Step 4: Detection of killing ability
[0128] For killing, an effector-to-target ratio of 5:1 was used. K562 cells and K562 cells overexpressing CD20 (K562-CD20) were used as target cells, and CAR-T killing was performed for 16 h and detected using LDH.
[0129] The test results are as Figure 5 shown. The results prove that the CAR-T cells constructed with the B09-HM5 sequence have the ability to specifically kill K562 cells overexpressing CD20. In the figure, NCT is the negative control T cells, and F11HM2 is an antibody against other CD20s)
[0130] Example 3: The killing effect of B09 - HM5 CAR - T is higher than that of Fmc63 - Leu16 CAR - T
[0131] Step 1: Preparation of CD19 - CD20 tandem CAR - T cells (Fmc63 - Leu16 CAR - T)
[0132] Prepare the Bispecific anti-CD20, anti-CD19 CAR T cells (bispecific anti-CD20, anti-CD19 CAR-T cells) disclosed in the article "Bispecific anti-CD20, anti-CD19 CAR T cells for relapsed B cell malignancies: a phase 1 dose escalation and expansion trial". The connection diagram is as Figure 6 shown.
[0133] Step 2: Comparison of killing effects
[0134] Compare the CAR-T cells prepared based on B09-HM5 prepared in Comparative Example 2 with the Fmc63-Leu16 CAR-T prepared above.
[0135] Kill using an effector-to-target ratio of 1:1. Use K562 cells overexpressing CD20 (K562-CD20) as target cells and detect after 24 hours of CAR-T killing. The results prove that the CAR-T cells constructed with the B09-HM5 sequence have the ability to specifically kill K562 cells with overexpressed CD20, and are higher than Fmc63-Leu16 CAR-T( Figure 7 ).
[0136] Example 4: CD19 antibody fmc63 and its humanized antibody
[0137] Step 1: Humanization of heavy - chain and light - chain variable regions
[0138] Humanize the antibody fmc63 against CD19 (the amino acid sequence of the light chain variable region is shown in SEQ ID NO.21, and the heavy chain variable region is shown in SEQ ID NO.22, where the CDR sequences are marked in Table 2. Its full antibody form is marked as Chimeric in the subsequent result figures, and the single-chain antibody form is marked as Fmc63scfv in the subsequent result figures). Screen the framework sequences with a T20 score higher than 80 according to the T20 scoring system described in Example 1. The T20 scores are shown in Table 3.
[0139] Table 2. Amino acid sequence of fmc63 and CDR markers
[0140]
[0141] Table 3. T20 scores
[0142]
[0143] After codon optimization, gene synthesis of the heavy and light chains of the above-designed humanized antibody was carried out separately. The heavy chain was subcloned into the pcDNA3.4-IgG1 expression vector, and the light chain was subcloned into the pcDNA3.4-IgKc expression vector. After the vectors were verified by sequencing to be correct, endotoxin-free plasmids were prepared.
[0144] Step 2: Antibody screening
[0145] The humanized VH and VL antibody expression vectors were combined pairwise, resulting in a total of 15 antibodies, namely VL1+VH1, VL1+VH2, VL1+VH3, VL1+VH4, VL1+VH5, VL2+VH1, VL2+VH2, VL2+VH3, VL2+VH4, VL2+VH5, VL3+VH1, VL3+VH2, VL3+VH3, VL3+VH4, VL3+VH5, VL4+VH1, VL4+VH2, VL4+VH3, VL4+VH4, VL4+VH5, VL5+VH1, VL5+VH2, VL5+VH3, VL5+VH4, VL5+VH5. Among them, taking VL1+VH1 as an example, it represents a complete antibody composed of the VL-HM1 shown in SEQ ID NO.23 as the light chain variable region and the VH-HM1 described in SEQ ID NO.28 as the heavy chain variable region. The same applies to other names.
[0146] The above 15 antibodies were co-transfected transiently into 293F cells with Chimeric and FMC63scfV for expression. Subsequently, the binding of the prepared humanized antibodies to the target protein was detected by flow cytometry fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS). The cells used for detection were CHO-K1( Figure 8 ), CHO-K1-CD19( Figure 9 ). In the figure, the primary antibody was 100 μL of supernatant and a positive antibody of 10 μg / ml FMC63 scfv, and the secondary antibody was PE anti-human IgG.
[0147] According to Figures 8 - 9 the results, VL2+VH1, VL2+VH2, VL2+VH3, VL3+VH1, VL3+VH2, and VL3+VH3 were further detected by FACS EC50( Figure 10 ). According to the FACS EC50 detection, the binding activity of the candidate antibodies was consistent with that of the chimeric antibody. The average MFI value was statistically analyzed based on the results of flow cytometry detection. The higher the MFI value, the higher the affinity of the corresponding humanized antibody for antigen CD19( Figure 11 ).
[0148] Step 3: Further screening
[0149] Further select VL2+VH1 and VL3+VH2 for affinity detection and compare them with the original antibody fmc63. The specific steps are as follows: HIS1K sensor is immobilized with CD19-His (KaiKa Biotech, CD1-HM119) at a concentration of 5 μg / ml for 350 s. The buffer is PBST (PBS + 0.02% tween20). Chmeric / VL2+VH1 / VL3+VH2 is diluted to 12.5, 6.25, 3.13, 1.56, 0.7813, 0 nM. Affinity detection: equilibration for 60 s, binding for 180 s, dissociation for 180 s, and the detection temperature is 25 °C. The results are as Figure 12 shown.
[0150] Example 5: Construction of CAR based on VL2 + VH1, VL3 + VH2 and verification of targeted killing
[0151] Step 1: Construction of vector
[0152] For the VL2+VH1 and VL3+VH2 screened in Example 4, the pCDH-EF1a lentiviral expression plasmid expressing CAR is constructed according to the Figure 12 shown structure. That is, it is constructed according to the CAR structure in step 1 of Example 2, and the antibody in step 1 of Example 2 is replaced with VL2+VH1 screened in Example 4 (the coding nucleic acid sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO.33, where the 322-366th positions are the coding nucleic acid of GGGGSGGGGSGGGGS, and GGGGSx3 is used as a linker to connect the heavy chain variable region and the light chain variable region), VL3+VH2 (the coding nucleic acid sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO.34, where the 322-366th positions are the coding nucleic acid of GGGGSGGGGSGGGGS, and GGGGSx3 is used as a linker to connect the heavy chain variable region and the light chain variable region).
[0153] Step 2: Preparation of lentivirus
[0154] The lentiviral system plasmids (pCDH-EF1α lentiviral expression plasmid, PsPAX2, pMD2.G three-plasmid system, mixed at a mass ratio of 3:2:1) are transfected into adherent 293T cells in the logarithmic growth phase. The cell culture supernatant harvested 48-72 hours after transfection is concentrated and filtered to obtain CAR lentivirus, which is stored at -80 °C for later use. It is transfected into peripheral blood mononuclear cells according to the method of Example 2.
[0155] Step 3: Detection of killing ability
[0156] For killing, a 5:1 effector-to-target ratio is used. K562 cells and K562 cells overexpressing CD19 (K562-CD19) are used as target cells, and CAR-T killing is carried out for 16 h and detected by LDH. The results are asFigure 14 It is demonstrated that the CAR-T cells constructed with the VL2+VH1 and VL3+VH2 sequences have the ability to specifically kill CD19-overexpressing K562 cells. In the figure, NCT is the negative control T cells, and FMC63-LEU16 is the CD19-CD20 tandem CAR-T (i.e., the CD19-CD20 tandem CAR-T cells mentioned in Example 3).
[0157] Example 6: Fmc63 - VL3VH2 tandem B09 - HM5 CAR - T targets and kills K562 - CD19, K562 - CD20, K562 - CD19 / CD20 cells:
[0158] Step 1: Construction of vector based on Fmc63 - VL3 + VH2 and B09 - HM5 and preparation of CAR - T cells
[0159] Select B09-HM5 (the amino acid and nucleic acid sequences are shown in SEQ ID NO.9-10 respectively) screened in Examples 1-3 and VL3+VH2 (the antibody made from the amino acid sequences shown in SEQ ID NO.25 and 29 as the light and heavy chain variable regions respectively, and the nucleic acid sequence encoding it is shown in SEQ ID NO.34) screened in Examples 4-5 for tandem connection. The specific connection order of each component of the tandem structure is B09HM5-linker-VL3-GGGGSx3-VH2. Use this tandem structure to replace the antibody in step 1 of Example 2 to construct CAR, and the constructed CAR structure is as Figure 15 shown (i.e., the bispecific chimeric antigen receptor described in the present application).
[0160] Step 2: Detection of killing ability
[0161] Express the plasmid of the CAR constructed by connecting Fmc63-VL3VH2 and B09-HM5 above, prepare lentivirus, and obtain CAR-T cells after infecting cells. Detect its killing ability against K562 cells overexpressing CD19, CD20 or CD19+CD20 (24h) with an effector-to-target ratio of 5:1.
[0162] Figure 16 The results shown prove that the CAR-T cells constructed with the Fmc63-VL3VH2 tandem B09-HM5 sequence have the ability to specifically kill K562 cells expressing CD19 or CD20 and co-expressing CD19 and CD20. Among them, NCT in the legend is the control T cells, and 32-B09HM5 is the CAR-T constructed by connecting Fmc63-VL3VH2 and B09-HM5.
[0163] Example 7: Detection of tonic signaling
[0164] Two screened humanized single-domain CD20 antibodies and the humanized antibody VL3VH2 were respectively used to construct second-generation bispecific CAR lentiviral expression vectors. The second-generation CAR is specifically the CAR consisting of a CD8 signal peptide - antibody - CD8 hinge region - CD8 transmembrane domain - 41BB costimulatory domain - CD3ζ intracellular signaling domain as described in Example 2 above. The antibodies and their legends in the result figures are shown in Table 4.
[0165] Table 4. Antibody names, related SEQ ID NOs. in CAR, and their labels in the result figures
[0166]
[0167] After constructing the expression plasmids of CAR with the above antibodies, expressing them, preparing lentiviruses, and infecting cells to obtain CAR-T cells, the following detections were carried out, and the result figures were labeled according to the legends in Table 4.
[0168] 1. Detection of cell expansion multiple
[0169] The CAR-T cells prepared above were cultured and further detected. The specific steps of cell culture were as follows: an appropriate amount of X-Vivo 15 medium (containing 200 IU / mL of IL2, 10 ng / mL of IL7, and 5 ng / mL of IL15) was added, the cells were resuspended with a pipette, and the cell density was adjusted to 0.5 - 0.7×10^6 cells / mL.
[0170] From the 5th day to the 13th day, cell counting was performed every day to count the cell number. The cell number on the initial D0 day was used as the base number to calculate the CAR cell amplification multiple. The results are as Figure 17 shown.
[0171] 2. Detection of cell apoptosis
[0172] On the 5th / 8th / 10th / 12th day of culture, some of the CAR-T cells were taken, centrifuged, washed with pre-cooled PBS, resuspended with 300 μL of 1×Binding Buffer, then 5 μL of Annexin V-PE and 5 μL of 7AAD were added for staining. After mixing, they were incubated in the dark for 15 minutes. Blank T cells without any dye were used as the blank group. Another 400 μL of 1×Binding Buffer was added, and the cells were detected by flow cytometry. The results on the 5th / 8th / 10th / 12th day are successively as Figures 18 - 21 shown.
[0173] 3. Detection of cytokine secretion level
[0174] On the 5th, 7th, and 12th days respectively, 5×10^5 cells were taken. After being washed twice with PBS, they were resuspended with 1 ml of blank X-Vivo15 medium, placed in an incubator at 37°C and 5% CO2, and cultured for another 24 h. Then, the supernatant was collected by centrifugation and stored at -80°C. After all the supernatants were collected, the secretion of IL2 and IFN-γ was detected according to the operation instructions of the ELISA kits for IL2 and IFN-γ.
[0175] Results: Cells were taken on D5, D7, and D12 respectively, cultured with blank X-vivo15 for 24 h, and then the supernatant was taken to detect the secretion of IL2 and IFN-γ. According to the detection results, CAR-T cells hardly secreted IL-2 while secreting IFN-γ, and the secretion increased with the increase of the culture time ( Figure 22 ).
[0176] The results of the above three aspects show that the CAR-T cell basal signal (tonic signaling) prepared by cascading the CD20 antibody and the CD19 antibody screened based on this application is not strong, which can ensure the normal expansion of CAR-T cells and the apoptosis ratio within the normal range. At the same time, it will not release IL-2 without activation, and the release level of IFN-γ is controllable.
