AI Technical Summary
The low expression of CD80 and CD86 in the tumor microenvironment results in the inability of T cells to effectively activate, leading to immune evasion, and the high affinity of CTLA4 to CD80/CD86 inhibits the activation signal of CD28, interfering with the normal activation of T cells.
By innovatively transforming the CD80 IgV domain, a CD80 mutant polypeptide is formed to regulate its binding activity with ligands and enhance the immune response.
Effectively stimulates T cells, enhances immune response, and is used to treat or prevent diseases caused by inhibition of T cell function, such as tumors and infections.

Abstract
Description
A CD80 mutant polypeptide and its use Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the fields of cancer and immunotherapy, and specifically, to CD80 IgV mutant polypeptides, CD80 ECD mutant polypeptides, CD80 mutant fusion polypeptide complexes comprising the mutant polypeptides, and nucleic acid molecules for expressing the mutant fusion polypeptide complexes as fusion proteins. The present invention also relates to methods for inducing or enhancing immunity, and methods for treating or preventing diseases such as infections and cancer, using the mutant polypeptides, fusion polypeptide complexes, or nucleic acid molecules. Background Art
[0002] CD80 protein is a type of immune-related molecule with stimulatory immune response. It mainly realizes its function by regulating T cell immune response, including participating in immune defense, immune tolerance and immune tissue damage. CD80 mainly exerts immunomodulatory effects to regulate immune response by binding to its ligands CD28, CTLA4 and PDL1. Changing the affinity between CD80 and ligands can regulate CD80-mediated related functions, especially enhancing the body's immune response function and strengthening the control of diseases including tumors and infections.
[0003] As a member of the B7 family of proteins that can costimulate T cell activation, mature CD80 molecules are composed of an extracellular domain (ECD), a transmembrane domain, and an intracellular domain. The extracellular domain (ECD) is the key region for these molecules to bind to their corresponding receptors on T cells. The CD80 extracellular domain contains the immunoglobulin variable-like V (IgV) region and the immunoglobulin constant-like C2 (IgC2) region, and the IgV domain is the key domain directly involved in their receptor binding. The CD80 extracellular domain IgV can bind to CD28 to induce T cell activation, proliferation, and effector function. CTLA4 can also bind to the IgV region of CD80 to participate in immunosuppressive regulation.
[0004] In the immune response regulation, T cell activation is regulated by the binding of co-stimulatory signal receptors such as CD28 and the corresponding ligands CD80 / CD86 on the APC surface. However, CD80 and CD86 are usually not expressed or lowly expressed in the tumor microenvironment, resulting in the inability of T cells to be effectively activated. This is also one of the key mechanisms of tumor immune escape.
[0005] In addition, CTLA4 competes with CD28 for binding to CD80 / CD86, exhibiting higher affinity characteristics, resulting in CD28 being unable to effectively receive the immune stimulation signals mediated by CD80 / CD86, leading to ineffective T cell activation or immunosuppression. Moreover, the binding of PDL1 to CD80 weakens the CD80-mediated immune activation effect and interferes with the normal activation of T cells, thereby suppressing the related immune response.
[0006] Therefore, there is a need in the art for CD80 mutant polypeptides that improve the binding activity of CD80 to its ligand, so that they can effectively stimulate T cells and enhance immune responses, thereby treating or preventing diseases such as infections and tumors caused by suppressed T cell function.
[0007] Summary of the Invention

[0097] Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms "a," "an," and "the" as used herein are intended to include the plural forms as well. In addition, the open-ended expressions "including" and "comprising" are interpreted as also including structural components or method steps that are not mentioned, but it should be noted that such open-ended expressions also cover situations where the composition consists only of the components and method steps (i.e., they cover situations where the closed-ended expression "consists of...").

[0307] The results of the above examples demonstrate that the CD80 mutant polypeptides formed by innovatively modifying the CD80 IgV domain can modulate the binding activity of CD80 to its ligands. Specifically, the CD80 mutant fusion polypeptide complexes disclosed herein have significantly higher antigen binding activities to PDL1, CTLA4, and CD28 than the corresponding wild-type CD80 fusion polypeptide complexes. The CD80 mutant fusion polypeptide complexes disclosed herein can relieve PD-1 / PD-L1-mediated T cell activation immunosuppression, regulate Jurkat T cell activation, regulate PBMC activation, and promote chemokine secretion by antigen-presenting cells. In other words, the CD80 mutant fusion polypeptide complexes disclosed herein can effectively stimulate T cells and enhance immune responses, thereby achieving the treatment or prevention of diseases such as infections and tumors caused by suppressed T cell function.
