Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to monomeric pseudoantibodies (monobodies), in particular to monomeric pseudoantibodies capable of binding to NK cells. Background Art
[0002] As a treatment method for cancer, immunotherapy that uses one's own immunity to destroy cancer has attracted attention. As one of the immunotherapies, NK cell therapy using natural killer (NK) cells is known. NK cell therapy is a treatment method that selectively proliferates and activates NK cells from the patient's peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), increases their cytotoxic activity, and then returns them to the patient's body.
[0003] NK cells bind to the Fc region of antibodies through Fcγ receptors to exert ADCC (Antibody-Dependent Cellular Cytotoxicity) activity to destroy tumor cells. Therefore, it is expected that NK cell therapy will exert a high synergistic effect in combination with antibody drugs that target antigens on tumor cells. In combination with antibody drugs, when antibody drugs bind to antigens, activated NK cells and other immune cells accumulate, causing ADCC activity and ADCP (Antibody-Dependent Cellular Phagocytosis), thereby killing tumor cells.
[0004] However, there are also cells with target antigens expressed on tumor cells among normal cells. When antibody drugs bind to these cells, sometimes other immune cells other than NK cells attack normal cells (ontarget / off tumor effect). As a method to suppress this side effect, it is proposed to make a cross-linked structure connecting NK cells and antibody drugs, so that cells and antibodies are bound in advance (Patent Document 1).

[0043] [Chemical formula 3]
[0044]
[0045] In this specification, the so-called "monomeric mimetic antibody" refers to an artificial protein with a molecular weight of about 10 kDa (more specifically, 7 kDa to 15 kDa) obtained by artificially adding mutations to a partial sequence using a protein as a scaffold. The molecular weight of the monomeric mimetic antibody of the present invention is, for example, 7 kDa to 15 kDa, preferably 13.6 kDa to 14.0 kDa.
[0046] The number of amino acids constituting the monomeric mimetibody of the present invention is, for example, 50 to 230, preferably 70 to 180, and more preferably 90 to 150. Within the above range, the number of amino acids may be in the range obtained by arbitrarily combining the upper and lower limits described above.
[0047] The protein used as the scaffold of the monomeric mimetic antibody of the present invention is not particularly limited, for example, it can be a part of fibronectin, it can be a part of human fibronectin, it can be a human fibronectin type III domain. That is, the monomeric mimetic antibody of the present invention is a substance obtained by changing the partial amino acid sequence in a part of fibronectin, a part of human fibronectin, or a human fibronectin type III domain. The monomeric mimetic antibody of the present invention can be a substance obtained by changing the sequence of the BC loop or CD loop of the human fibronectin type III domain, it can be a substance obtained by changing the sequence of the FG loop, or it can be a substance obtained by changing the sequence of the BC loop or CD loop and the FG loop. The monomeric mimetic antibody of the present invention can be a polypeptide that does not contain cysteine. The same skeleton as the human fibronectin type III domain (FN3) can be found in many animal proteins involved in ligand binding. The folding mode of the human fibronectin type III domain is similar to the VH domain of immunoglobulin, and its molecular weight is about 10kDa, so it has high tissue infiltration. In addition, it is heat-resistant and does not contain cysteine, so it does not form a disulfide bond.
[0048] The portion derived from the human fibronectin type III domain in the monomeric mimetic antibody of the present invention may have an amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 82, an amino acid sequence having one or more amino acids deleted, substituted and / or added in the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 82, or an amino acid sequence having 80% or more identity with the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 82. The BC loop of the human fibronectin type III domain may be a sequence portion corresponding to PAVT (SEQ ID NO: 83) in the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 82, the CD loop may be a sequence portion corresponding to GNSP (SEQ ID NO: 84) in the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 82, and the FG loop may be a sequence portion corresponding to GRGDSPASSK (SEQ ID NO: 85) in the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 82. The monomeric mimetibody of the present invention may be a monomeric mimetibody having an amino acid sequence of any one of formulas (1) to (3) by altering a portion of the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 82, an amino acid sequence having one or more amino acid deletions, substitutions and / or additions in the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 82, or an amino acid sequence having 80% or more identity with the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 82, and inserting any one of the amino acid sequences represented by SEQ ID NOs: 1 to 24, an amino acid sequence having one or more amino acid deletions, substitutions and / or additions in the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NOs: 1 to 24, or an amino acid sequence having 80% or more identity with the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NOs: 1 to 24. The altered position of the amino acid sequence derived from the type III domain of human fibronectin may be a portion of the amino acid sequence corresponding to the BC loop or CD loop of the type III domain of human fibronectin, may be a portion of the amino acid sequence corresponding to the FG loop, or may be a portion of the amino acid sequence corresponding to both the BC loop or CD loop and the FG loop.
[0049] [Chemical formula 4]
[0050]
[0051] A monomeric mimetibody may have multiple β chains and loops connecting the chains.

[0052] The monomeric mimetic antibody may have 7 or more β chains, and the sequence of at least two of the BC loop connecting the 2nd and 3rd chains, the CD loop connecting the 3rd and 4th chains, and the FG loop connecting the 6th and 7th chains may be changed. The sequences of both the BC loop and the FG loop may be changed, and the sequences of both the CD loop and the FG loop may be changed.
[0053] When the sequence of the loop portion is changed, a part of the amino acids constituting the loop may be changed, or all of the amino acids constituting the loop may be changed. Here, the so-called "change" of the amino acid sequence refers to the deletion, substitution and / or addition of one or more amino acids relative to the amino acid sequence before the change (i.e., the natural one).
[0054] The monomeric mimetibody of the present invention has the amino acid sequence of any one of (1) to (3) above.
[0055] In serial numbers A1 to A12, X 1 , X 2 , X 3 , X 4 , X 5 and X 6 Each independently represents any amino acid. Therefore, in SEQ ID NOs. A1 to A12, when n1, n2, n3, n4, n5, and n6 are natural numbers greater than 2, X 1 , X 2 , X 3 , X 4 , X 5 and X 6 Each forms an amino acid sequence consisting of any amino acids.

[0056] In this specification, the term "amino acid" includes not only natural amino acids, but also artificial amino acid mutants and derivatives. As amino acids, for example, proteinaceous L-amino acids, non-proteinaceous amino acids, and chemically synthesized compounds having properties known in the art as amino acid characteristics can be cited.
[0057] Proteinogenic amino acids are represented by three-letter letters known in the art, such as Arg, His, Lys, Asp, Glu, Ser, Thr, Asn, Gln, Cys, Gly, Pro, Ala, Ile, Leu, Met, Phe, Trp, Tyr, and Val. Proteinogenic amino acids are represented by single-letter letters known in the art, such as R, H, K, D, E, S, T, N, Q, C, G, P, A, I, L, M, F, W, Y, and V.
[0058] Non-proteinogenic amino acids include natural or unnatural amino acids other than proteinogenic amino acids.
[0059] Examples of non-natural amino acids include amino acids whose main chain structures are different from those of natural ones (α,α-disubstituted amino acids (α-methylalanine, etc.), N-alkyl amino acids, D-amino acids, β-amino acids, γ-amino acids, δ-amino acids, and α-hydroxy acids, etc.); amino acids whose side chain structures are different from those of natural ones (norleucine, homohistidine, etc.); amino acids having extra methylene groups in the side chains (“homo” amino acids, homophenylalanine, and homohistidine, etc.); and amino acids whose carboxylic acid functional groups in the side chains are substituted with sulfonic acid groups (cysteic acid, etc.).
[0060] X 1 , X 2 , X 3 , X 4 , X 5 and X 6 Each independently may be a proteinogenic amino acid, or may be any of the 19 proteinogenic amino acids excluding cysteine. 6 Can also be used with X 3 same.

[0069] In the present specification, the number of amino acids deleted, substituted and / or added in the "amino acid sequence having one or more amino acids deleted, substituted and / or added in the amino acid sequence" is not particularly limited as long as it is one or more. The so-called "plurality" in the multiple amino acids is a natural number greater than 2, for example, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.
[0070] As 1 or more, it can be 1 or more and 1 or less, preferably 1 or more and 8 or less, and more preferably 1 or more and 5 or less. The upper limit of the number of amino acids deleted, substituted and / or added may be, for example, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 or 1. In addition, the lower limit of the number of amino acids deleted, substituted and / or added may be, for example, 2, 3, or 4. Within the above range, the number of amino acids deleted, substituted and / or added may also be set within the range obtained by arbitrarily combining the above upper limit and lower limit.

[0072] In the present specification, the term "an amino acid sequence having 80% or more identity with an amino acid sequence" when described as "having Y% or more identity with an amino acid sequence X" means that when the amino acid sequence having the identity is aligned (compared) in a manner that maximizes the rate of consistency between the amino acid sequence having the identity and the amino acid sequence X, the ratio of the number of common amino acid residues to the total number of amino acids comprising the amino acid sequence having the identity is Y% or more.
[0073] The identity may be 80% or more, and may be 85% or more, 90% or more, 95% or more, 97% or more, 98% or more, or 99% or more. The upper limit of the identity is not particularly limited, and may be 99%, 98%, 97% or 95%. The identity may also be 100%.
[0074] Search and analysis involving the identity of amino acid sequences can be performed using algorithms or programs known to those skilled in the art (e.g., BLASTN, BLASTP, BLASTX, Clustal W). With regard to the parameters when using the programs, those skilled in the art can appropriately set them, or can also use the default parameters of each program.
[0075] Regarding the amino acid sequence of any one of (1) to (3), it is preferred that, among the amino acid sequences represented by SEQ ID NOs: A1 to A12, the amino acid sequences represented by SEQ ID NOs: 1 to 12 are present in the BC loop or the CD loop, and the amino acid sequences represented by SEQ ID NOs: 13 to 24 are present in the FG loop.

At this time, the concentration of monomeric pseudo antibodies was all unified to 40nM. The obtained data was analyzed using ForteBio DataAnalysis 10.0. The dissociation constant was determined under various conditions only for monomeric pseudo antibodies for which binding ability and specificity were observed. The measurement conditions are shown in the table below. Immersion, baseline, binding, and dissociation were performed at the same time as when the binding ability and specificity were confirmed. As for the concentration of monomeric pseudo antibodies, 5 concentrations were prepared for measurement by serial dilution in a 2-fold series starting from the most concentrated concentration.

[0271] [Example 1: Sorting using a monomeric mimetic antibody library]
[0272] The human fibronectin type III domain (FN3) (PDB: 1FNA) was used as a scaffold (skeleton) to randomize a portion of the sequence to prepare a monomeric pseudo-antibody library, and the TRAP display method (Transcription-translation coupled with Association of Puromycin-linker display) was used to screen out monomeric pseudo-antibodies that specifically bind to three proteins on NK cells (NKp46, 2B4, and NKp30). It should be noted that the human fibronectin type III domain has 7 β chains, and there are 6 loops connecting each β chain. In this embodiment, a BC library with changed BC and FG loops and a CD library with changed CD and FG loops were prepared. Figure 2 The libraries are shown in .

[0281] In terms of protein diversity, the BC-FG library was 2.6 × 10 13 , CD-FG is 4.4×10 13 In addition, the recovery rate of cDNA in each round obtained by TRAP display method for each target is shown in Figure 3 and 4 The recovery rate was calculated by dividing the amount of cDNA recovered by the amount of puromycin linker contained in the system. The first and second rounds were screened with mixed targets, and then each target was screened separately. The target concentration was initially set to 10 nM, and the recovery rate increased significantly, which was then reduced to 1 nM. Then, in order to obtain k off The blue graph on the right side of the results for each target shows the recovery rate in the negative screening when the target is not bound to the beads, and the orange graph shows the recovery rate in the positive screening when the target is bound to the beads. Figure 4 Among all targets, the recovery rate of the 7th round of positive screening was higher than that of the negative screening, indicating that a monomeric pseudo-antibody binding to the target was successfully obtained.
[0282] [Example 2: Sequence analysis based on next generation sequencer]
[0283] The cDNAs recovered from the seventh round of positive screening and negative screening were analyzed using a next generation sequencer, and then several monomeric mimetics were screened out. The screened monomeric mimetics are shown in Tables 4 to 6.

For the CD-FG library, 2 monomeric mimetics with a P / N ratio of 5.0 or more were screened. The total number of reads was 251088.
[0285] When 2B4 was used as the target, two monomeric mimetics with a P / N ratio of 4.0 or higher were screened for the BC-FG library. The total number of reads was 502168. Two monomeric mimetics with a P / N ratio of 2.5 or higher were screened for the CD-FG library. The total number of reads was 237279.
[0286] When targeting NKp30, two monomeric mimetics with a P / N ratio of 5.0 or higher were screened for the BC-FG library. The total number of reads was 424,980. One monomeric mimetics with a P / N ratio of 4.0 or higher was screened for the CD-FG library. The total number of reads was 256,719.

[0299] In the above table, the P / N ratio is calculated by dividing the appearance rate of a certain sequence in the positive screening solution by the appearance rate in the negative screening solution. When the value is low, it can be considered that the possibility of non-specific binding is increased. The P / N ratio ' is calculated by multiplying the value obtained by dividing the recovery rate of the positive screening by the recovery rate of the negative screening by the P / N ratio.

Figures 5 to 7 The measurement results are shown in . Figures 5 to 7 In the upper row of graphs, the upper line shows the result of measuring the binding ability of the monomeric pseudo-antibody by binding the target to the front end of the sensor, and the lower line shows the result of confirming whether the monomeric pseudo-antibody is bound to the sensor without binding the target. Mb in the graph is an abbreviation for the concentration of the monomeric pseudo-antibody. All clones were confirmed to bind to the monomeric pseudo-antibody when the target was fixed on the sensor, and no monomeric pseudo-antibody binding was confirmed when the target was not fixed. In addition, Figures 5 to 7 The lower row of graphs shows the results of measuring the dissociation constants at five different concentrations.
[0312] The following table shows the evaluation results of the clones such as binding ability and the presence or absence of specificity.

[0315]
[0316] As described above, two libraries, BC-FG and CD-FG, obtained by randomizing two loops, were used to screen for monomeric pseudo-antibodies that bind to proteins on NK cells using the TRAP display method. In the 7th round, the recovery rate of the positive screening in which the target was fixed to the magnetic beads was higher than the recovery rate of the negative screening in which the target was not fixed to the magnetic beads. Therefore, it can be seen that a monomeric pseudo-antibody that binds to the target as the target has been successfully obtained. Then, the cDNA obtained from the positive screening and negative screening in the 7th round was analyzed using a next-generation sequencer, and the expressed clones were screened out based on the appearance rate and P / N ratio. Based on the appearance rate, it was confirmed that the monomeric pseudo-antibody was successfully concentrated. In addition, using the expressed and purified clones and measuring the dissociation constant using the biomembrane interferometry method, a strongly binding monomeric pseudo-antibody (K D =1.0×10 -2 This is almost the same as the dissociation constant of antibodies used as antibody drugs, and therefore it is considered to be a sufficient dissociation constant value for use. off Slow to 1.0×10 -6 s -1 ~5.0×10 -4 s -1 , it can be said that a target monomeric pseudo-antibody was produced that binds to proteins on NK cells and is not easily dissociated.
