Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of biomedicine technology, and specifically relates to an anti-PD-L1 nanobody and applications thereof. Background Art

[0002] Malignant tumors, also known as cancer, are a serious disease caused by abnormal division and proliferation of normal cells in the human body. Once cancer occurs, normal tissues and organs around the lesion will be gradually invaded by tumor cells, and they can even use the blood system or lymphatic system to achieve the purpose of metastasis to other parts of the body. According to statistics, the number of people dying from cancer is increasing year by year around the world. In most countries, cancer ranks second among the causes of death of residents aged 30 to 69.

[0003] Immune checkpoints refer to a series of molecules expressed on immune cells that can regulate the degree of immune activation and prevent overactivation of the immune system. Immune checkpoints can initiate signaling pathways that inhibit T cell function, while immune checkpoint inhibitors can inhibit this tumor-mediated inhibition of T cell function. Programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) is an important target in tumor immune checkpoint blockade therapy, and it is expressed in a variety of cells. Most solid tumors abnormally activate the immune checkpoint PD-1 by highly expressing PD-L1, inducing apoptosis of tumor-specific T lymphocytes, allowing tumor cells to escape the surveillance and killing of the immune system. In addition, PD-L1 can bind to tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) to prevent the release of multiple inflammatory factors such as IL-2 and IFN-γ to inhibit the immune killing activity of TIL and induce its apoptosis, stimulate human peripheral blood T cells to secrete immunosuppressive cytokines such as IL-10 and TGF-β to mediate immunosuppression, and achieve immune escape, proliferation and metastasis of tumor cells.

[0004] Currently, it has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for a variety of cancers. As the latest tumor treatment method, immunotherapy has become the most advanced and effective oncology treatment method after chemotherapy and targeted therapy in recent years by activating the killing effect of immune cells on cancer cells. In particular, immune checkpoint therapy such as PD-1 / PD-L1 inhibitors can make about 20% of patients experience long-term remission, and even the possibility of tumor cure. Studies have shown that downregulating the expression of PD-L1 mRNA in lung cancer cells can enhance the killing effect of T lymphocytes on A549 cells. Blocking the interaction between PD-1 and PD-L1 can effectively restore the killing function of T cells against tumors; at present, the industry generally believes that antibodies targeting the PD-L1 pathway will bring breakthrough progress in the treatment of various tumors: since the advent of the world's first PD-1 inhibitor Opdivo in 2014, many PD-1 / PD-L1 drugs have been approved for marketing. It is used to treat non-small cell lung cancer, renal cell carcinoma, ovarian cancer, and melanoma.

[0005] PD-L1 is also often expressed in activated cells, B cells, macrophages, DC cells and neutrophils, and plays an important role in the body's immune homeostasis and inflammatory regulation. Autoimmune disease refers to a type of disease in which autoimmune reactions lead to organic damage and dysfunction of one's own tissues or organs. PD-1 / PD-L1 axis disorders are also widely present in various autoimmune diseases and chronic infectious diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease (OBD), multiple sclerosis (MS), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), type 2 diabetes (T2DM), aplastic anemia (AA), oral lichen planus (OLP), Wegener's granulomatosis (WG) and myasthenia gravis (MG). Studies have shown that peripheral tolerance of PD-1 knockout mice is destroyed, lymphocyte proliferation is inhibited, and autoimmune diseases can be induced. At the same time, abnormalities in the PD-1 / PD-L1 signaling pathway may play an important role in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Matsuda K et al. detected the expression of PD-1 / PD-L1 on infiltrating T lymphocytes in the synovial fluid of RA patients and performed immunohistochemical staining on the synovial tissue of RA patients and found that PD-1 was highly expressed on synovial fluid infiltrating T lymphocytes, while PD-L1 was highly expressed on synovial lining cells, and the expression of both was correlated with the severity of RA. Some people also suggested that the PD-1 / PD-L1 pathway may play an important role in diseases such as ischemic stroke and multiple sclerosis.

[0006] However, not all cancer patients can benefit from this type of treatment. PD-L1 is a key biomarker for determining whether cancer patients are suitable for immunotherapy. Therefore, it is a rigid clinical need to select suitable patients with the help of biomarker detection. The evaluation of PD-L1 expression level in tumor tissue is currently the most clinically recognized marker for predicting the efficacy of PD-1 / PD-L1 inhibitors. A large amount of scientific research data shows that high expression of PD-L1 has been detected in most tumor cell lines such as lymphoma, choriocarcinoma, melanoma, and esophageal cancer. Compared with patients with negative PD-L1 expression, patients with positive PD-L1 expression are more likely to benefit from immunotherapy, and the higher the PD-L1 expression level in tumor tissue, the greater the chance that the patient will benefit from PD-1 / PD-L1 inhibitor treatment. Many clinical guidelines for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) at home and abroad recommend that patients undergo routine PD-L1 testing at the 1A evidence level. At the same time, studies have shown that the expression level of PD-L1 in non-muscle invasive bladder cancer cells is correlated with the pathological progression of the tumor. The treatment plan can be formulated based on the expression of PD-L1 in the patient after drug treatment. The quantification of the expression level of PD-L1 is usually evaluated by pathologists directly observing under a microscope, so very high requirements are placed on the affinity and specificity of the antibody.

[0007] Nanobodies (VHH) have the same structural domains as ordinary antibody VH, namely 4 conserved framework regions (FR1 / 2 / 3 / 4) and 3 complementary determining regions (CDR1 / 2 / 3). The molecular weight of nanobodies is only 10% of that of traditional antibodies, and they retain the complete antigen binding ability of HCAbs, and have the characteristics of strong specificity, good affinity and high stability. Since nanobodies do not have Fc segments and cannot produce cytotoxic effects such as ADCC / CDC like traditional antibodies, VHH antibodies are often fused with Fc segments to construct Fc-VHH fusion proteins to increase ADCC (antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity) and CDC (complement-dependent cytotoxicity) activity. Compared with ordinary antibodies, these forms of nanobodies can be widely used in the treatment of various diseases. Summary of the invention

[0138] Example 3 Production of Antibodies

[0139] (1) Observe the 293T cells used for packaging under a microscope and select cells with a cell density of 80% to 95%.

[0140] (2) Prepare 10% packaging medium: open a new bottle of 500 mL DMEM medium, add 55 mL FBS, then add 550 μL 1 mol / L sodium pyruvate solution and 550 μL 25 mmol / L chloroquine phosphate solution, and mix well.

[0141] (3) Take out the selected cells from the incubator, pour the old culture medium in the culture bottle into the waste tank, add 17 mL of 10% packaging medium, and then return it to the carbon dioxide incubator to adapt.

[0142] (4) According to the number of culture bottles to be transfected, calculate the plasmid to be added (30 μg of plasmid per bottle) and 0.125 mol / L calcium chloride solution to prepare a DNA-CaCl2 mixture. Then take an equal volume of 2×HBS solution and add it dropwise to the DNA-CaCl2 mixture, vortexing the DNA-CaCl2 mixture while adding. After the addition, let it stand at room temperature for 20 minutes until a white precipitate is formed.

[0143] (5) Remove the cells obtained in step (3) from the incubator, add 8 mL of calcium phosphate-DNA precipitation complex to each bottle, mark the virus name and operation date on the bottle, return it to the incubator, and replace the medium with 5% packaging medium after 4 to 6 hours.
