Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of preparation of biopharmaceutical antibodies, and specifically to shark single domain antibodies 3A11, 3C11, 3F10, 3G3, 4A12, and 4E11 targeting serum albumin of multiple species. In addition, the present invention also relates to a preparation method and use of the antibody. Background Art
[0002] Since recombinant biopharmaceuticals began to enter the therapeutic drug market, a major problem faced by many protein and peptide drugs is that their half-life is too short. Although these drugs have strong therapeutic potential, they are easily metabolized by the kidneys or degraded by proteases in the lysosomes due to their small molecular weight. This characteristic limits their application in chronic diseases and long-term treatment. In order to regulate the plasma half-life of these drugs, increase drug exposure, thereby reducing the frequency of dosing and increasing patient compliance, PEGylation, fusion of the Fc domain of traditional antibodies, and coupling or binding to serum albumin have all been explored as solutions by predecessors. Serum albumin is an abundant plasma protein that plays a vital role in osmotic pressure regulation and serves as a transporter of fatty acids, bile pigments, amino acids, steroid hormones, metal ions and many therapeutic molecules. It has a molecular weight of 66 kDa and a half-life of up to 19 days in the human body. Coupled with its unique pharmacokinetic characteristics, it has become an ideal target protein for extending the half-life of short-lived proteins and peptides. In addition, serum albumin also participates in the FcRn-mediated endomembrane cycle, preventing it from being degraded by lysosomes through pH-dependent binding and dissociation mechanisms, thereby extending its half-life from another perspective. In the past, people have successfully used serum albumin as a drug carrier, prepared serum albumin fusion proteins, adhered serum albumin, and other methods to extend the half-life of peptide and protein drugs in vivo.
[0003] Monoclonal antibodies occupy a large market share in recombinant biopharmaceuticals. Shark single-domain antibodies (VNARs), discovered in 1995, are the variable regions of heavy-chain dimer antibodies (IgNARs) naturally present in cartilaginous fish such as sharks. They have the advantages of small molecular weight, high affinity, strong specificity, good solubility, and strong stability. Compared with traditional antibodies, the CDR2 region of VNAR is severely truncated and the CDR3 region is longer. The highly variable CDR3 domain not only makes VNAR more diverse, but its unique compact molecular structure also increases the accessibility of VNAR to hidden antigenic epitopes. Shark single-domain antibody VNAR has shown great potential to replace traditional antibodies as a therapeutic drug for clinical application. Shark single-domain antibodies, as a new type of antibody, have unique advantages. Developing a shark single-domain antibody that specifically binds to serum albumin and using it as a tool drug to extend the half-life of small molecule therapeutic drugs such as peptides is of great significance for solving the clinical problems of dosing frequency and long-term treatment. Summary of the invention

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0016] In order to further understand the present invention, the present invention will be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0017] The experimental methods in the following examples, unless otherwise specified, are conventional methods in the art and are performed according to the techniques described in the literature in the art or according to the product instructions; the various biological materials, reagents, etc. used in the examples, unless otherwise specified, can be obtained from commercial channels.
[0018] Example 1 Immunization and titer detection of striped bamboo shark 1. Shark Immunity Sharks were given one initial immunization and four booster immunizations: the initial immunization used 250 µg HSA mixed with complete Freund's adjuvant and emulsified, which was injected subcutaneously through the lateral fin; the first booster immunization used 100 µg HSA mixed with incomplete Freund's adjuvant and emulsified, which was injected subcutaneously through the lateral fin; the subsequent three booster immunizations used 3 µg HSA injected into the blood through the lateral fin vein, with a one-month interval between each immunization.
[0019] Before immunization and 5 days after immunization, 5 mL of blood was collected from the tail vein, anticoagulated with heparin, centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 10 min, and the plasma and peripheral blood lymphocytes were collected.
[0020] 2. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to detect plasma titer HSA was dissolved in PBS to 2 µg / mL, added to a 96-well ELISA plate for overnight coating at 4°C, blocked with 5% MPBS (skim milk powder dissolved in PBS) at 37°C for 1.5h, and then the plasma samples were diluted 10 times in a gradient, with the plasma before immunization as the negative control, incubated at 37°C for 1.5h, added with 1:1000 diluted rabbit anti-shark serum (prepared in this laboratory) and incubated at 37°C for 1h, then added with 0.1 µg / mL HRP-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG antibody, incubated at 37°C for 1h, and added with TMB colorimetric solution for color development at room temperature and in the dark for 5min. The color development was terminated with 1 M HCl, and the absorbance value at 450 nm was read by an ELISA reader.
[0021] The plasma titer obtained by ELISA test is about 1:100. Figure 1 shown.
[0022] Example 2 Construction of phage display library 1. Amplification of target gene The peripheral blood lymphocytes separated from the blood samples were used to extract total RNA using the Trizol method and reverse transcribed to synthesize cDNA. Through the structural and diversity analysis of the immunoglobulin gene loci of the striped bamboo shark, forward primers SEQ ID NO.19 to SEQ ID NO.20 were designed based on the partial conservative sequence upstream of VNAR, and reverse primers SEQ ID NO.21 to SEQ ID NO.22 were designed based on the partial conservative sequence downstream of the CDR3 domain to amplify the VNAR fragment.
[0023] SEQ ID NO. 19 NewVF1 CAATTTGATTGGGCCCAGGCGGCCGCCSMACGGSTTGAACAAACACC SEQ ID NO. 20 NewVF2 CAATTTGATTGGGCCCAGGCGGCCGCCGCACGGGTTGAAAAACACCG SEQ ID NO. 21 NewVR1 CTTAATCGACTGGCCGGCCTGGCCCACAGTCASARKGGTSCC SEQ ID NO. 22 NewVR2 CTTAATCGACTGGCCGGCCTGGCCCACAGTCAGAGGGGTGCCGCCTCC The 50 μL reaction system for PCR amplification was: 25 μL 2x PrimeSTAR® Max, 2.5 μL template cDNA, 2 μL upstream primer, 2 μL downstream primer, and 18.5 μL ddH2O.
[0024] The PCR amplification conditions were as follows: initial denaturation at 98°C for 2 min; denaturation at 98°C for 10 s, annealing at 55°C for 5 s, extension at 72°C for 5 s, repeated for 30 cycles; and final extension at 72°C for 5 min.
[0025] The results of nucleic acid electrophoresis of the VNAR region of the bamboo shark amplified by PCR are as follows: Figure 2 shown.
[0026] 2. Library Construction The amplified VNAR fragment and pComb3Xss vector were digested with restriction endonuclease SfiⅠ, and ligated with T4 ligase to construct a recombinant vector.
[0027] The 500 μL reaction system for SfiⅠ digestion is: SfiⅠ 10 μL, pComb3Xss / VNAR fragment 10 μg, 10× CutSmart Buffer 50 μL, ddH2O to 500 μL.
[0028] The ligation system of T4 ligase is: T4 DNA Ligase 10 µL, 10× T4 DNA Ligase Buffer 20 µL, pComb3Xss 5 µg, VNAR fragment 2.5 µg, ddH2O to 200 µL. The connected pComb3Xss-VNAR vector was transferred into Escherichia coli TG1 by electroporation, and the bacterial solution was applied to an ampicillin-resistant 2x YT solid plate and cultured overnight at 37°C. The bacteria on the plate were collected to obtain the original library strain. After the strain was cultured to the logarithmic phase, M13K07 auxiliary phage was added for superinfection, and cultured overnight at 30°C 200rpm. The supernatant was filtered with a 0.22um filter membrane, and a final volume of 20% PEG / NaCl solution was added. The mixture was ice-bathed for 30 minutes to precipitate the phage. The mixed solution was centrifuged at 4°C and 10000g for 15 minutes, and the precipitate was resuspended with PBS to obtain the original phage library storage solution.
[0029] Library size calculation: Final library size = initial library size x insertion rate x sequencing diversity.
[0030] The electroporated bacterial solution was diluted to 10 -6 , 10 -7 , 10-8 times, and spread them on 2x YT solid plates with ampicillin resistance and cultured at 37°C overnight. The initial library size = the number of single colonies grown on the plate x 10 6 , 10 7 , 10 8 . Randomly select 20 clones from the plate, use an equimolar mixture of upstream primers for VNAR amplification as upstream primers, and the conserved fragment on the vector as downstream primers for PCR identification. Insertion rate = number of target bands / total number of bacterial liquid PCR reactions × 100%. Randomly sequence the bacterial liquid that successfully obtains the target band by PCR, and the diversity = sequenced correctly / total number of sequenced samples × 100%.
[0031] The final library size used in the present invention is 1.53 x 10 8 .
[0032] The electrophoresis results of the inserted nucleic acid identified by bacterial liquid PCR are as follows Figure 3 The sequence alignment results of random sequencing are shown in Figure 4 The quality evaluation of the VNAR library is shown in Table 1.
[0033] Table 1: Evaluation of the quality of phage libraries
[0034] Example 3 Specific screening and identification for HSA The solid phase panning method was used. In the first round of panning, 10 µg / ml HSA and blocking solution were added to a 96-well ELISA plate and coated overnight at 4°C. On the second day, while blocking the HSA wells, 10 times the volume of phage preparation solution of the library was added to the wells coated with the blocking solution and incubated at 37°C for 1 h. After washing the plate, the phage preparation solution was added to the HSA wells and incubated at 37°C for 1 h. The plate was washed 15 times, and the TG1 bacterial solution grown to the logarithmic phase was directly added for infection 3 times. Each infection lasted for 30 min. The same method as the preparation of the library phage stock solution was used for superinfection and phage amplification. The coating concentrations for the second and third rounds of panning were reduced to 4 µg / ml and 2 µg / ml, and the plates were alternately blocked with 5% MPBS and gelatin blocking solution, and a total of three rounds of panning were performed. The phage solution amplified after each round of panning can be directly used for polyclonal ELISA to detect the enrichment after panning. The results are shown in Figure 5 shown.
[0035] 192 single clones were picked from the plates after the second and third rounds of panning, placed in a 96-well deep-well plate and cultured at 37°C with shaking until the logarithmic phase, and M13K07 helper phage was added for superinfection. The progeny phages were amplified using the same method as before. The plates were centrifuged at 500 xg for 20 min the next day, and the supernatant was directly used for monoclonal ELISA to detect the positive expression of the clones after panning. The results are shown in Figure 6 Through three rounds of screening, six VNAR sequences targeting HSA were obtained, namely the sequences shown in SEQ ID NO.1 to SEQ ID NO.6, the nucleotide sequences of their encoding genes are shown in SEQ ID NO.7 to SEQ ID NO.12, and their CDR3 sequences are shown in SEQ ID NO.13 to SEQ ID NO.18.

All proteins were expressed in soluble form. In order to increase the expression level, the sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.5 was cloned into the pET-28a (+) vector and transformed into E. coli The expression was induced with 0.1 mM IPTG under the pressure of 50 µg / ml kanamycin in BL21(DE3) at 37°C for 6 h and expressed as inclusion bodies.
[0037] After collecting the soluble expressed bacteria, they were ultrasonically disrupted, and the supernatant after disruption was purified by nickel column, impurities were removed with 20 mM imidazole, and eluted with 250 mM imidazole. The purified eluate was concentrated using a 3 K ultrafiltration column and replaced with PBS for storage. For inclusion bodies, the precipitate after ultrasonic disruption needs to be collected and dissolved with Tris buffer containing 8M urea. The nickel column purification process is the same as mentioned above, but 8M urea needs to be maintained in the system. The purified protein solution is replaced with 0 M urea by gradient dialysis, and then concentrated using a 3 K ultrafiltration column and replaced with PBS for storage. The antibody protein purified by the nickel column was further purified using a SuperdexTM 200 Increase 10 / 300GL column. The purified antibody protein was subjected to SDS-PAGE electrophoresis, and the bands after Coomassie Brilliant Blue staining were as shown below. Figure 7 shown.
[0038] Example 5 Affinity detection of shark nanobody protein and HSA 1. ELISA to detect binding affinity The 96-well ELISA plate was coated with 1 μg / mL HSA at 4°C overnight; the next day, 5% MPBS was used as a blocking solution and blocked at 37°C for 1 hour; the antibody protein was diluted with PBS to a certain concentration gradient and incubated in the plate at 37°C for 1 hour; then the HRP-coupled anti-HA antibody was diluted in the blocking solution at a ratio of 1:10000, added to the plate, and incubated at 37°C for 1.5 hours; finally, TMB color development solution was used for color development, and the absorbance at 450nm was detected after stopping the color development with 1M sulfuric acid. The results of the HSA binding ability of the sequences screened in Example 3 are as follows Figure 8 shown.
[0039] 2. Biolayer interferometry (BLI) to detect affinity The affinity of the target protein to HSA was detected using the Octet RED96e system. The purified protein solution was diluted to 5 μg / mL and detected using an anti-His probe. The probe was first pre-wetted in PBST containing 0.02% Tween-20 at 1000 rpm for 60 s, then immersed in the protein solution for solidification for 90 s, and then bound and dissociated with 100 nM HSA for 120 s and 180 s, respectively. The fitting binding and dissociation curves are shown in Figure 2. Fig. 9 shown.
[0040] The screened sequences all have a certain affinity for HSA, among which the sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.5 has the strongest binding ability to HSA.
[0041] Example 6 Detection of serum albumin binding capacity of VNAR-4A12 under multiple species and multiple pH conditions 1. ELISA to detect multi-species binding The 96-well ELISA plate was coated with 1 μg / mL mouse, rat, rabbit, and dog serum albumin at 4°C overnight; the next day, 5% MPBS was used as a blocking solution and blocked at 37°C for 1 hour; the antibody protein was diluted with PBS to a certain concentration gradient and incubated in the plate at 37°C for 1 hour; then HRP-coupled anti-His antibody was diluted in the blocking solution at a ratio of 1:10000, added to the plate, and incubated at 37°C for 1.5 hours; finally, TMB colorimetric solution was used for color development, and 1M sulfuric acid was used to stop the color development and then the absorbance at 450nm was detected.

[0042] 2. Biolayer interferometry (BLI) to detect affinity under different pH conditions Purified VNAR-4A12 was diluted to 5 μg / mL, and serum albumin from different species was diluted to different concentration gradients: the concentration gradient of human and mouse serum albumin was 3.125, 6.25, 12.5, 25, 50, 100, 200 nM, and the concentration gradient of rabbit and rat serum albumin was 12.5, 25, 50, 100, 200, 400 and 800 nM. Anti-His probe was used for detection. The probe was first pre-wetted in PBST containing 0.02% Tween-20 at 1000 rpm for 60 s, then immersed in VNAR-4A12 solution at pH 7.4 for solidification, and then bound and dissociated with serum albumin from different species at pH 7.4 and pH 6.0, respectively. In the same experiment, the pH conditions of binding and dissociation were kept consistent.

[0044] Example 7 Testing of the ability of VNAR-4A12 to extend half-life in vivo 1. Construction, expression and purification of fusion protein The easily detectable green fluorescent protein sfGFP was selected as a control drug for prolonging the half-life. The sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.5, namely VNAR-4A12, was connected to sfGFP by three G4S linkers and inserted into the pET28a (+) expression vector through NcoⅠ and NotⅠ. Together with the sfGFP-pET28a vector, it was transformed into E. coli In BL21 (DE3), the expression was induced with 0.05 mM IPTG under 50 µg / ml kanamycin pressure at 30°C overnight. Both were soluble. The purification process of the two was the same as described in Example 4. The purified proteins were subjected to SDS-PAGE electrophoresis. The bands after Coomassie Brilliant Blue staining were as follows Fig.11 shown.
[0045] 2. In vivo half-life detection A total of 10 female 8-week-old BALB / c mice were divided into two groups (n=5), and each group was injected with a single tail vein injection of 100nmol / kg sfGFP or 4A12-sfGFP. 30 μL of blood was collected from the tail vein of mice at 0.25, 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 24, 48, and 72 h, placed in an EP tube containing an anticoagulant, and centrifuged at 1500 xg at 4°C for 5 min. The upper plasma was diluted 5 times with PBS, and 30 μL of the diluted plasma was taken and placed in a black-bottom 384-well plate. The microplate reader was set to 495 nm excitation and 525 nm absorption to detect fluorescence intensity, and the blood drug concentration was calculated by fluorescence intensity until it was below the quantitative limit. The blood drug concentration data corresponding to different time points were processed using Phoenix WinNonlin Academic Version, and the pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated using the non-compartmental model (NCA). The blood drug concentration-time curve is shown in the figure. Fig.12 The calculated pharmacokinetic parameters are shown in Table 3.
