Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical technology, specifically to a fusion protein composition, a specific antibody, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) are a type of artificial antibody that can simultaneously and specifically bind to two antigens or two different epitopes on the same antigen. Bispecific antibodies have broad application prospects in areas such as tumor immunotherapy and autoimmune diseases. Currently, at least 30 bispecific antibody drugs are in clinical research stages. Furthermore, the development of polyclonal antibody technology, which combines bispecific antibodies with other methods, is ongoing.
[0003] With the development of technology, more and more technologies are being used to construct bispecific antibody drugs, among which non-natural nanoparticles are also commonly used in the construction of bispecific antibody drugs.
[0004] Albumin-polymer composite nanoassemblies can be obtained by combining serum albumin with hydrophobic polymers through ultrasonic emulsification and high-pressure homogenization. Therefore, linking single-chain antibody fragments (ScFv) of different antibodies to the surface of nanoparticles via surface immobilization is a highly promising method for rapidly constructing bispecific and multispecific antibody drugs. For example, our previously constructed fusion protein and nanoassemblies based on single-chain antibody fragments (CN114516921A), serum albumin-based fusion protein and nanoassemblies (CN114478800A), and protein nanoparticles for multispecific antibody delivery (CN112336873A) are examples.
[0005] To enable these nanoparticles to serve as a universal platform for single / dual / multi-specific drugs, the components used to construct them need modification. Previous methods involved directly constructing dual / multi-specific antibodies using ScFv-SA fusion proteins and hydrophobic polymers, a simple technique, but preparing different antibodies required the production of different fusion proteins, making the process cumbersome. Nanoaptamers constructed using FcγR-SA can effectively adsorb antibodies, enabling rapid construction of single / dual / multi-specific antibodies, but their non-covalent binding mechanism carries the risk of detachment. Therefore, obtaining nanoparticles with excellent stability and maintaining good biological activity is essential.
[0006] The SpyTag / SpyCatcher system was developed by the Howarth laboratory based on the internal isopeptide bonds within the CnaB2 domain of the fibronectin FbaB from *Streptococcus pyogenes*. Within this domain, an internal isopeptide bond spontaneously forms between the ε-amino group of lysine K3 and the carboxyl group of the aspartic acid D117 side chain, conferring high stability to the CnaB2 domain. This binding domain can be divided into two parts: the larger part, named SpyCatcher, contains 138 amino acid residues; the smaller part, named SpyTag, consists of 13 amino acid residues. These two parts can rapidly bind together to form a high-affinity covalent bond without external assistance, thus forming a complex. The Howarth laboratory further optimized this system into SpyCatcher003 and SpyTag003, increasing the rate of isopeptide bond formation by more than 100-fold. Summary of the Invention
[0007] Based on this, one of the objectives of the present invention is to provide a fusion protein composition and its application in constructing a dual multispecific drug, as well as the constructed dual multispecific drug and its preparation method.
[0008] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a fusion protein composition comprising a fusion protein A of SpyCatcher003-albumin and a fusion protein B of at least one protein-SpyTag003.
[0009] The fusion protein A is formed by fusing SpyCatcher003 protein with albumin;
[0010] The fusion protein B is formed by fusing a protein with SpyTag003, wherein the protein is selected from at least one single-chain antibody.
[0011] In some of these embodiments, the albumin is any one of human serum albumin, bovine serum albumin, mouse serum albumin, rat serum albumin, rabbit serum albumin, and chicken oocyte albumin.
[0012] In some of these embodiments, the single-chain antibody targets at least one of the following antigens: single-chain antibodies derived from humans or other species that target HER2, CD137L, CD137, 4-1BBL, 4-1BB, OX40L, OX40, ICOS, CD86, CD80, CD28, LFA3, CD2, CTLA4, PDL1, PD1, CD70, CD27, GAL9, TIM3, CD111, CD96, CD112, CD226, CD115, CD113, TIGIT, CD39, CD73, CD47, SIRPα, TNFα, IL1β, IL6, TGFβ, IL-10, and IL-12.

[0021] A fourth aspect of the present invention provides engineered bacteria, protoplasts, or in vitro cloning systems containing any gene or vector encoding the above-described recombinant fusion protein composition.
[0022] A fifth aspect of the present invention provides a single / double / multi-specific immunomodulatory drug, which is a nano-assembly formed by covalently bonding fusion protein A in a fusion protein composition with a hydrophobic biodegradable polyester or its derivative therefrom through hydrophobic interaction, and then mixing it with fusion protein B in the fusion protein composition.
[0023] In some of these embodiments, the biodegradable polyester is an aliphatic polyester, or aliphatic polyester modified with polyethylene glycol.
[0024] In some of these embodiments, the aliphatic polyester includes, but is not limited to, at least one of polylactide, polyglycolic acid, poly(lactide-co-glycolic acid), and polycaprolactone.
[0025] In some embodiments, the block molecular weight of the polylactide is 1 kDa to 1,100 kDa; or the block molecular weight of the poly(lactide-co-glycolic acid) is 1 kDa to 1,100 kDa, wherein the ratio of lactide to glycolide is in the range of 95 / 5 to 50 / 50.
[0026] In some embodiments, the molar ratio of the nanoassembly to the fusion protein B is (1-10):1, preferably (1-6):1, and more preferably (2-3):1.
[0027] In some embodiments, the ratio of the amount of fusion protein A to fusion protein B is (3-1):1, and most preferably, the ratio of the amount of fusion protein A to fusion protein B is 1:1.
[0028] A sixth aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing a single / dual / multi-specific immunomodulatory drug, comprising the following steps:
[0029] (1) The fusion protein A is mixed with water or physiological saline at a concentration of 0.5 to 20 mg / mL to obtain an aqueous phase; the hydrophobic biodegradable polyester and its derivatives are mixed with an organic solvent to obtain an oil phase at a concentration of 0.5 to 10 mg / mL.
[0030] (2) Prepare an oil-in-water emulsion from the aqueous phase solution and the oil phase solution described in step (1);
[0031] (3) The emulsion is separated and purified to obtain nano-assemblies;
[0032] (4) The nano-assembly is mixed with at least one of the fusion proteins B at room temperature to obtain the drug.
[0033] In some of the embodiments, the organic solvent is at least one of chloroform, dichloromethane, and ethyl acetate.
[0034] In some embodiments, the concentration of the recombinant fusion protein A in the aqueous phase is 1–10 mg / ml.
[0035] In some embodiments, the concentration of the hydrophobic biodegradable polyester and its derivatives in the oil phase is...
[0036] The concentration is 1–10 mg / ml.
[0037] In some embodiments, the weight ratio of the hydrophobic biodegradable polyester and its derivatives to the fusion protein A is 1:0.1 to 10, preferably 1:1 to 10, and more preferably 1:2 to 6.
[0038] In some of these embodiments, the volume ratio of the aqueous phase to the oil phase is 1-10:1, preferably 2-6:1.

[0040] A seventh aspect of the present invention provides the use of any of the above-mentioned immunotherapeutic drugs in the preparation of products for tumor immunotherapy, autoimmune disease treatment, inflammation treatment, and infection treatment.
[0041] This invention creatively constructs a fusion protein containing SpyCatcher003 and albumin, which is then assembled with a hydrophobic biodegradable polyester via affinity. This assembly is then combined with ScFv containing SpyTag003 to form nanoassemblies for various applications. It was found that the SpyCatcher003 on the surface of these assemblies can conveniently, quickly, and covalently bind to the SpyTag003-containing fusion protein, constructing stable single / double / multi-specific antibody drugs. These drugs not only maintain their corresponding biological activity and are stable, but can also simultaneously bind multiple specific antibodies. The binding of these multiple specific antibodies within the nanoassembly is more robust and exhibits greater stability. Therefore, these single / double / multi-specific immunotherapies can be well applied to the treatment of diseases such as tumors. Attached Figure Description

[0062] Unless otherwise specified, the experimental methods described in the following embodiments of the present invention are generally performed under conventional conditions or as recommended by the manufacturer. All commonly used chemical reagents used in the embodiments are commercially available products.
[0063] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this invention have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the invention.
[0064] To facilitate understanding of this technology, some terms and phrases are defined below.
[0065] The terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, apparatus, product, or device that includes a series of steps is not limited to the steps or modules listed, but may optionally include steps not listed, or may optionally include other steps inherent to such process, method, product, or device.
[0066] In this invention, "multiple" refers to two or more. "And / or" describes the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A alone, A and B simultaneously, or B alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.
[0067] Homologous: In the phylogenetic theory of biology, if two or more structures have the same ancestor, they are said to be homologous.
[0068] Antibody affinity refers to the binding strength between the antigen-binding cluster of an antibody and the antigenic determinant cluster, or the binding force between an antibody and an antigenic epitope or antigenic determinant cluster. It is essentially a non-covalent interaction force, including the attraction between amino acids, hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic interactions, etc.
[0069] Some embodiments of the present invention relate to a protein having at least a serum albumin fragment that can bind to a hydrophobic degradable polymer through hydrophobic interactions. In the present invention, the protein is albumin, i.e., serum albumin, which may be at least one of human serum albumin, bovine serum albumin, mouse serum albumin, rat serum albumin, rabbit serum albumin, and chicken oocyte albumin.
[0070] In some preferred embodiments, the protein is a human serum albumin protein having at least three or four hydrophobic domains, the protein having hydrophobic domains is a human serum albumin protein having at least five hydrophobic domains, or the above-mentioned protein having its hydrophobic domains intact through substitution, deletion and / or addition of one or more amino acids, more preferably, a human serum albumin protein having six or seven hydrophobic domains.
[0071] In this invention, a single-chain variable fragment (scFv) refers to a simplified portion of an immunoglobulin Fab fragment that specifically binds to antigens, artificially expressed through gene recombination technology. It consists of a heavy chain and a light chain, connected by a short polypeptide hinge. scFv retains the antigen recognition and binding properties, and its small molecular size allows it to recombine with polypeptides or proteins to form fusion proteins.
[0072] The single-chain antibody is derived from a functional fragment of an antibody and includes at least one light chain variable region (VL) and / or heavy chain variable region (VH) of the antibody.
[0073] The single-chain antibody is derived from humans, mice, or other species, and its species is consistent with that of serum albumin.
[0074] The linker peptide can be a conventional peptide sequence used to link polypeptides, capable of connecting two polypeptides and naturally folding them into the desired structure. It is typically a short peptide with hydrophobicity and a certain degree of extensibility. The purpose in this invention is to separate the two fused proteins to mitigate their mutual interference. The linker peptide can be flexible or rigid. In some embodiments, a flexible linker peptide may be advantageous, as it can link two protein / peptide components while maintaining their respective activities and functions. In some embodiments, the hydrophobic regions of the fused protein, and the functional fragments of immunomodulatory antibodies, are linked by a linker peptide, which in some embodiments, for example, uses [GlyGlyGlyGlySer]n, where n is an integer from 0 to 4, more preferably 1, 2, or 3. When n is 0, it means that the relevant fragments are directly linked.
[0075] Some embodiments of this invention involve hydrophobic biodegradable polyesters and their derivatives, which are currently known biodegradable biomaterials, and also include new biodegradable biomaterials to be further developed in the future, which can bind to the hydrophobic regions of the serum albumin moiety described above. The polyester is an aliphatic polyester or a derivative thereof.
[0076] This invention constructs and expresses the SpyCatcher003-SA fusion protein, and prepares nanoparticles by combining it with a hydrophobic polymer; simultaneously, it constructs a fusion protein by combining SpyTag003 with exogenous ScFv, etc.; the above nanoparticles are incubated with the fusion protein containing SpyTag003, and the fusion protein can be uniformly bound to the surface of the nanoparticles through isopeptide bonds to form a bispecific antibody.
