Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biomedicine technology, and more specifically to a CD38-targeting nanoantibody, a pharmaceutical composition, and applications thereof. Background Art

[0002] Targeted cancer therapy is a method of treating tumors by specifically targeting molecules or signaling pathways that play a crucial role in tumor development and progression. Targeted therapies tailored to the specific molecular phenotype of a tumor are increasingly becoming the preferred approach for cancer treatment. Targeted cancer drugs can be broadly categorized into two main categories: monoclonal antibodies and small molecule compounds. With the advancement of research, new targets continue to emerge, leading to numerous breakthroughs in anti-cancer drug development, with the number of targeted cancer drugs increasing at a rate of 5 to 6 per year. However, the effectiveness of targeted therapies is limited by the heterogeneity of tumor cells, resulting in significant differences in the response of different patients to the same drug. Furthermore, tumor cells can develop drug resistance through various mechanisms, resulting in reduced therapeutic efficacy. Therefore, the current development of targeted drugs remains insufficient, limiting the widespread application of existing treatments and preventing the vast majority of patients from benefiting from them. Therefore, there is an urgent need to discover new molecular targets and develop more effective molecularly targeted therapy strategies to improve the precision and effectiveness of treatment and reduce the treatment burden on patients.

[0003] CD38 (Cluster of Differentiation 38) is a type II transmembrane glycoprotein with a molecular weight of approximately 46kD. In 1980, CD38 was first discovered by scientists such as EL Reinherz and SF Schlossman as a specific marker for T cell activation. The CD38 protein sequence includes a short cytoplasmic tail at the N-terminus, a single transmembrane domain, and a longer extracellular region at the C-terminus. Current studies have shown that CD38 protein is a bifunctional extracellular enzyme with cyclase and hydrolase activities, and is involved in nucleotide metabolism. CD38 uses NAD + It serves as a substrate to form nucleotide metabolites such as cyclic ADP ribose (cADPR), which is an effective second messenger that regulates Ca2+ in the cytoplasm. 2+ Mobilization of CD38 and activation of signaling pathways that control various biological processes. Studies have also found that CD38 can degrade ATP and NAD + , cADPR, AMP, thereby producing adenosine, inducing an inhibitory immune microenvironment. In short, the activity of CD38 is crucial for maintaining NAD + The dynamic balance of substances such as vitamin C and niacinamide is very important.

[0004] Based on the analysis of TCGA data, CD38 is highly expressed in some non-solid and solid tumors. The former include chronic B-cell leukemia, multiple myeloma, mantle cell lymphoma, etc., and the latter include lung cancer, gastric cancer, melanoma, glioma, esophageal cancer, cervical cancer, etc. Although CD38 is expressed in a variety of human tissues, its expression level in other normal organs is extremely low or low. Moreover, after the primary cancer with high expression of CD38 metastasizes, the tumor tissue in the metastatic lesion still maintains a high level of CD38 expression. Many studies have shown that CD38 has great potential as a new target for the treatment of malignant tumors and their metastases, and is a very promising target protein molecule.

[0005] At present, some research progress has been made in the development of antibodies targeting CD38. Currently, monoclonal antibodies targeting CD38 that have been used in clinical treatment include daratumumab, isatuximab and MOR202. Researchers have analyzed the co-crystal structure of these antibodies and CD38; constructed fluorescent antibodies based on these antibodies, and developed a method for rapid quantification of cell surface CD38 using flow cytometry; in addition, immunotoxins targeting CD38 have been constructed, showing a highly selective killing effect on multiple myeloma (MM) cells, EC 50 It reaches the pM level, has good efficacy and high specificity and safety.

[0006] Nanobodies, also known as single-domain antibodies, are the smallest antigen-binding fragments obtained from heavy-chain antibodies naturally present in the blood of camelids. Compared with traditional antibodies, nanobodies have advantages such as smaller size (about 15kD), good stability and solubility, easy modification, low production cost, and the ability to recognize hidden or uncommon antigenic sites. Although nanobodies targeting CD38 have made some progress in recent years, new targeting antibodies or their combinations are still needed to make them more selective, more efficient, less toxic and more convenient for patients to continue to improve the clinical outcomes of patients with related tumors.

Western Blot was used for further verification. Figure 3 The results showed that CD38 was significantly expressed in both A549 and PC9 cells.

[0073] Example 2: Screening and validation of nanobodies against the extracellular domain of CD38 protein

[0074] 1. Nanobody screening

[0075] The natural alpaca-derived phage display nanoantibody library was screened using the immunotube method. The selected phage display library had a capacity of 2×10 9 The screening steps are as follows:

[0076] (1) The target protein was coated on an immunotube at a concentration of 50 μg / mL and three rounds of enrichment screening were performed;

[0077] (2) The third round of phage eluate was used for plating, and 96 monoclonal clones were randomly selected for ELISA verification. The ELISA reading was 3 times greater than the corresponding BSA reading and the reading was greater than 0.5 as the positive standard;

[0081] 2. Purification and expression of nanobodies

[0082] The Nanobody gene sequence was cloned into the pCold-II vector, with a 6×His tag fused to its C-terminus. A hemagglutinin HA tag was also fused for subsequent detection. The expression and purification steps are as follows:

[0083] (1) To prevent the formation of inclusion bodies and protein degradation, 0.2 mM IPTG was used for induction at 16°C;

[0084] (2) Induce a large amount of expression according to the pre-experimental induction conditions, and break the bacteria with a high-pressure sterilizer at 1300W;

[0085] (3) Centrifugation at 12,000 g for 45 min at 4°C, and incubate the supernatant with Ni-NTA filler at 4°C for 1 h.

[0086] (4) After purification on a Ni-NTA column, the eluate was eluted with varying imidazole gradients, with each gradient approximately 5 mL. Purity was determined to be >95% by SDS-PAGE. After concentration to a volume of approximately 3 mL, BCA quantitative analysis revealed a concentration of 5.4 mg / mL for the nanoantibody NbD5 and 3.97 mg / mL for NbD6.

[0087] 3. ELISA experiment of nanoantibodies

[0088] The ELISA plate was coated with CD38 protein overnight and blocked, and then various concentrations of HA-tagged nanoantibodies were added and incubated at room temperature for 1 hour. The plate was rinsed with PBST three times and incubated with anti-HA antibody at room temperature for 1 hour. The signal was amplified by horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-labeled anti-HA antibody and developed with TMB. At the same time, irrelevant nanoantibody controls and irrelevant protein antigen blank controls were performed.

[0089] 4. Surface Plasmon Resonance Experiment

[0090] This experiment was used to verify the direct interaction between in vitro expressed and purified nanobodies and in vitro purified antigenic proteins and to calculate the equilibrium constant between the two. The purified antigenic protein (CD38) was immobilized on a chip, and different concentrations of nanobodies (NbD5 and NbD6) were sequentially added to analyze their affinity for the antigenic protein. The reaction signal was recorded over 300 seconds, and kinetic curves were generated to calculate relevant parameters.

[0091] 5. Targeted detection of nanoantibodies on cells

[0092] PC9 and A549 cells were revived and passaged three times before being seeded into 96-well plates for subsequent experiments. The specific steps are as follows:

[0093] (1) Place cells on ice, wash three times with PBS, and fix with 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 min;

[0094] (2) Wash with PBS three times and block with 5% BSA for 1 h;

[0095] (3) Nanobodies were diluted with 1% BSA to different concentration gradients (0-1000 nM) and incubated with cells for 1 h;

[0096] (4) Wash three times with pre-cooled PBST, dilute anti-HA antibody 1:1000 with 1% BSA, and incubate with cells for 1 h;

[0097] (5) Wash three times with pre-cooled PBST, dilute Alexa 488-conjugated secondary antibody 1:1000 with 1% BSA, and incubate with cells in the dark for 1 h;

[0098] (6) Wash with pre-cooled PBST three times, and detect the binding of nanoantibodies on the cell surface using an automatic electrophoresis fluorescence immunoassay.

[0099] Experimental results:

[0100] (1) First, a phage nanoantibody library was screened against CD38, and two positive clones were preliminarily identified, which were named NbD5 (first antibody) and NbD6 (second antibody) (the specific sequences and complementary determining regions (CDRs) of NbD5 and NbD6 are shown in Tables 1 and 2).

[0102] (3) Verified by ELISA, such as Figure 6 As shown, it was confirmed that nanobodies NbD5 (first antibody) and NbD6 (second antibody) had binding activity to recombinant CD38 protein.

[0103] (4) Using the Biacore SPR platform, the affinity constants of NbD5 and NbD6 clones to recombinant CD38 protein were detected and determined. The results showed that the affinity of NbD5 (primary antibody) and NbD6 (secondary antibody) to CD38 protein were 38.26 nM (refer to Figure 7 ) and 21.07nM (reference Figure 8 ).

[0104] (5) Immunofluorescence and Cell ELISA were used to detect whether the nanobody can bind to the CD38 protein on the cell membrane surface. Figure 9 Under laser confocal microscopy, nanoantibodies NbD5 (primary antibody, concentration of 1 μM) and NbD6 (secondary antibody, concentration of 1 μM) can be localized on CD38 on the surface of PC9 cells and A549 cells, where the left column is the primary antibody NbD5 and the right column is the secondary antibody NbD6; Figure 10 Cell ELISA was used to detect the binding of different concentrations of the first antibody NbD5, the second antibody NbD6 and the control nanobody C9 to the CD38 antigen on PC9 cells; Figure 11 Cell ELISA was used to detect the binding of different concentrations of the first antibody NbD5, the second antibody NbD6, and the control nanobody C9 to the CD38 antigen on A549 cells. The results showed that the nanobodies NbD5 and NbD6 have specific recognition ability for the CD38 protein on the surface of PC9 and A549 cell membranes.
