Abstract
Description
[0001] This application claims priority to the Chinese patent application No. 202411814396.3, filed on December 10, 2024, and entitled "Antigen epitope peptide of CD40 ligand, antibody and application", the entire content of which is incorporated herein by reference. TECHNICAL FIELD
[0002] The present application relates to the technical field of cellular immunotherapy, in particular to an antigen epitope peptide of CD40 ligand, an antibody and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0003] CAR-T and CAR-NK are two cutting-edge cellular immunotherapies that have shown great potential in cancer treatment. They use the patient's own or donor immune cells, which are genetically engineered to recognize and kill tumor cells.
[0004] Among them:
[0005] CAR-T (Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-Cell) therapy is a T-cell-based immunotherapy, where "T cells" are an important cell in the human immune system, responsible for recognizing and attacking pathogens and abnormal cells. Through genetic engineering technology, the surface of T cells is loaded with a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR), which can specifically recognize specific antigens on the surface of tumor cells, triggering the activation of T cells, which in turn kill these tumor cells. The main construction steps include: 1. Cell extraction: T cells are extracted from the patient's peripheral blood. 2. Genetic modification: genes encoding CAR are introduced into T cells through viral vectors or non-viral methods, allowing them to express CAR. 3. In vitro expansion: the modified T cells are expanded in vitro to increase their number. 4. In vivo reinfusion: after chemotherapy or lymphocyte depletion, the patient receives these modified T cells, and CAR-T cells begin to recognize and attack tumor cells.
[0006] CAR-NK (Chimeric Antigen Receptor Natural Killer Cell) therapy is a natural killer (NK) cell-based immunotherapy. NK cells are part of the innate immune system and have natural tumor cell and virus-infected cell killing ability. Unlike T cells, NK cells do not rely on antigen presentation and MHC molecule recognition, so they can attack malignant cells widely. Through genetic engineering, CAR chimeric antigen receptors are introduced into NK cells, allowing them to more specifically recognize and kill tumor cells. The main construction steps of CAR-NK are basically similar to those of CAR-T, with the main difference being the cell source: NK cells can be obtained from various sources, including peripheral blood, umbilical cord blood and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC).
[0007] T cell hematological diseases are treated with CAR-T or CAR-NK because these therapies have shown significant efficacy in targeting specific types of hematological malignancies, especially in cases where traditional therapies have limited effectiveness. However, this therapy also has certain drawbacks, for example: ① Because the chimeric antigen receptors expressed on the surface of CAR-T or CAR-NK cells can recognize and bind to antigens on the surface of the same type of cells, these cells kill each other (suicide killing), thereby reducing the survival rate and expansion ability of the treatment cells, affecting the treatment effect. ② The antigen targeted by CAR-T or CAR-NK not only exists on tumor cells but also is distributed on the surface of normal T cells. CAR-T or CAR-NK treatment can cause a large number of normal T cells to be reduced, thereby triggering immune deficiency and increasing the risk of infection in patients. ③ Tumor cells can escape the recognition and killing of immune cells by down-regulating or losing the expression of the targeted antigen, or by other mechanisms, leading to a lack of persistence or recurrence of the treatment effect. Currently, the main treatment targets for T cell hematological diseases are CD5, CD7, CD30, etc. With the advancement of CAR-T / CAR-NK treatment, tumor cells will undergo antigen modulation, down-regulating or not expressing the above targets. ④ The manufacturing process of CAR-T and CAR-NK cell therapy is complex, involving cell extraction, genetic modification, expansion, and other steps, which is costly and requires strict production environment and technical requirements, limiting its widespread application. The in vivo construction scheme involved in the present scheme can significantly reduce the above complex survival processes, thereby reducing costs.
[0008] CD40L (or denoted as CD40LG) is the receptor of CD40, and CD40 interacts with CD40L, thereby playing a key role in the regulation of immune response. The binding of CD40L to CD40 triggers the activation of the CD40 pathway, which up-regulates costimulatory molecules such as CD80 and CD86. Previous studies have shown that the expression of CD40LG in all normal tissues is significantly increased in T lymphoma, and the killing and destruction of normal tissues can be reduced by affinity adjustment, while CD40LG is mainly expressed in CD4+ T cells, causing less damage to T cells CD8+ T cells responsible for killing, which can reduce the risk of infection in patients. Therefore, CD40LG as a new target is expected to effectively improve tumor immune escape. However, there is currently a lack of antibodies with good affinity for CD40L. SUMMARY

[0096] The present application provides antigenic epitope peptides of CD40 ligand, antibodies and applications, those skilled in the art can learn from the content of this paper, and appropriate improvement process parameters are realized. It is particularly pointed out that all similar substitutions and changes are obvious to those skilled in the art, and they are regarded as included in the present application. The method and application of the present application have been described by the preferred embodiment, and the relevant personnel can obviously change or appropriately change and combine the method and application of this paper without departing from the content, spirit and scope of the present application, to realize and apply the present application technology.
[0097] Unless otherwise defined herein, scientific and technical terms used in connection with the present application shall have meanings that are commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the art.
[0098] In this application, "at least one" means one or more, and "multiple" means two or more. "At least one of the following" or similar expressions means any combination of these items, including any combination of single or multiple items.
[0099] The terms "comprise", "contain" and "have" are used interchangeably in this application, and are intended to mean the inclusiveness of the scheme, meaning that the scheme can have other elements in addition to the listed elements. It should also be understood that the use of "comprise", "contain" and "have" in this paper also provides "consisting of" scheme.
[0100] The term "and / or" is used in this paper, including "and", "or" and "all or any other combination of elements linked by the term". The meaning of "and / or".
[0101] The term "identity" as used herein can be calculated as follows: to determine the percent "identity" of two amino acid sequences or two nucleic acid sequences, the sequences are aligned for optimal comparison purposes (e.g., gaps can be introduced in one or both of a first and a second amino acid or nucleic acid sequence for optimal alignment and non-identical sequences can be disregarded for comparison purposes). The amino acid residues or nucleotides at corresponding amino acid positions or nucleotide positions are then compared. When a position in the first sequence is occupied by the same amino acid residue or nucleotide as the corresponding position in the second sequence then the molecules are identical at that position. The percent identity between the two sequences is a function of the number of identical positions shared by the sequences, taking into account the number of gaps, and the length of each gap, which need to be introduced for optimal alignment of the two sequences.
[0102] The comparison of sequences and calculation of percent identity between two sequences can be accomplished using a mathematical algorithm. For instance, the percent identity between two amino acid sequences can be determined using the Needleman and Wunsch ((1970) J. Mol. Biol. 48: 444-453) algorithm which has been incorporated into the GAP program in the GCG software package (available at www.gcg.com), using either a Blossum 62 matrix or a PAM250 matrix, and a gap weight of 16, 14, 12, 10, 8, 6, or 4 and a gap length weight of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. For instance, the percent identity between two nucleotide sequences can be determined using the GAP program in the GCG software package (available at www.gcg.com), using a NWSgapdna.CMP matrix and a gap weight of 40, 50, 60, 70, or 80 and a gap length weight of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. A particularly preferred set of parameters (and the set that should be used unless otherwise specified) is a Blossum 62 scoring matrix with a gap penalty of 12, a gap extend penalty of 4, and a frameshift gap penalty of 5.
[0103] The percent identity between two amino acid sequences or two nucleotide sequences can also be determined using the algorithm of E. Meyers and W. Miller ((1989) CABIOS, 4: 11-17) which has been incorporated into the ALIGN program (version 2.0), using a PAM120 weight residue table, a gap length penalty of 12, and a gap penalty of 4.
[0104] In the present application, the identity of 80% or more means that the identity is greater than 85%, or greater than 90%, or greater than 95%, or greater than 96%, or greater than 97%, or greater than 98%, or greater than 98%, or greater than 99%, or greater than 99.5%, or greater than 99.8%, or greater than 99.9%.
[0105] The materials used in the present application are all ordinary commercially available products, which can be purchased in the market.
[0106] The heavy chain and light chain sequences of the main antibodies involved in the embodiments of the present application are as follows, wherein the ___ indicates a signal peptide (SEQ ID NO: 13), the lower case letters indicate CDR regions, and the upper case letters indicate FR regions.

[0137] The application will be further described below in connection with examples:
[0138] Example
[0139] 1. scFV screening process:
[0140] Pre-immune background screening: 1 ml from each of the 4 rabbits was taken for background detection, ELISA routine detection: 2 rabbits with lower background were selected for subsequent immunization against detection of original-biotin-KDIMLNKEETKKENSFE.
[0141] 2. Immunization stage:
[0142] The KLH-KDIMLNKEETKKENSFE was used to immunize the two rabbits with low background selected above for a total of 5 times. For the serum of the two rabbits immunized five times, 2 ml / rabbit was purified by protein A antibody. The purified antibody was detected by ELISA: ELISA detection was performed against the original-biotin-KDIMLNKEETKKENSFE, and one rabbit with high antibody titer was selected. At the same time, flow detection was performed on CD40LG positive cell lines, and significant transition was observed. Rabbit 33 was selected for subsequent experiments. Figure 1
[0143] 3. B cell sorting stage:
[0144] The spleen of the rabbit selected above was taken out to separate single B cells, which were then plated and expanded in 96-well plates. The supernatant of single B cells was detected by ELISA antibody titer and flow cytometry to screen positive clones. Figure 2
[0145] 4. Linear expression stage:
[0146] According to the ELISA and flow cytometry detection results in step 3, the top 10 monoclonal B cell lines were selected for sequencing. According to the sequencing results, plasmids were constructed, and linear expression was performed in 293T cells. The supernatant was detected by polypeptide-coated ELISA, CD40LG protein-coated ELISA, and flow cytometry. Four monoclonal antibodies (4B8, 6C11, 6D6, and 7GB) that showed significant binding in the above three experiments were selected for subsequent experiments. Figure 3
[0147] 5. Complete antibody construction:
[0148] The above four monoclonal antibodies were constructed into IgG1 complete antibodies. Each clone was divided into two clones according to the linkage mode of light and heavy chains: VLVH and VHVL.
[0149] The nucleic acid sequences are as follows:
[0150] 4B8_VH_(G4S)3_VL, 4B8_VL_(G4S)3_VH, 6C11_VH_(G4S)3_VL, 6C11_VL_(G4S)3_VH, 6D6_VH_(G4S)3_VL, 6D6_VL_(G4S)3_VH.
[0151] The obtained antibodies were subjected to SPR affinity ranking with CD40LG purified protein. The specific affinity is shown in Table 1 and Figure 4 :
[0152] Table 2
[0153] Injection variables Analyte 1 Solution 1 : 1 binding ka kd KD (M) 4B8 VH VL 9.03E+04 7.96E-03 8.82E-08 4B8 VL VH 1.55E+05 6.58E-03 4.25E-08 6C11 VH VL 1.76E+05 1.29E-02 7.34E-08 6C11 VL VH 9.13E+04 7.75E-03 8.49E-08 6D6 VH VL 1.03E+05 4.95E-03 4.79E-08 6D6 VL VH 8.46E+04 4.75E-03 5.62E-08 7GB VH VL 5.53E+04 3.99E-03 7.20E-08 7GB VL VH 1.15E+05 3.46E-03 3.00E-08
[0154] Results showed that VHVL and VLVH of 7GB had no significant binding, excluding the clone, and the remaining clones had significant binding force. CAR plasmid and virus were constructed, and in vivo and in vitro tumor killing activity detection was performed.
[0155] 6. In vitro CAR-T construction process
[0156] 6.1 T cell separation
[0157] Step: T cells are isolated from the peripheral blood of patients by leukapheresis. The commonly used equipment is a cell separator, which can separate white blood cells from blood by centrifugation.
[0158] Objective: To obtain enriched T cells for subsequent gene editing and culture.
[0159] 6.2 T cell activation
[0160] Step: Under in vitro culture conditions, the isolated T cells are activated by using anti-CD3 antibodies and anti-CD28 antibodies or other costimulatory molecules. CD3 antibodies mimic the natural stimulation of T cell receptors (TCR), and CD28 provides a costimulatory signal to synergistically promote T cell activation and proliferation.
[0161] Objective: To make T cells from a resting state to a proliferative activated state, ready for gene modification.
[0162] 6.3 Gene transduction (introduction of CAR gene)
[0163] Step: Use viral vectors (such as lentivirus or retrovirus) to introduce the designed CAR gene into T cells. CAR gene encodes a chimeric antigen receptor that can specifically recognize tumor surface antigens. After transduction, T cells will express this chimeric receptor, allowing them to recognize and kill specific tumor cells.
[0164] Method: ① The commonly used transduction method is viral transduction (lentivirus or retrovirus vector). Viral vectors have high gene delivery capacity and can stably integrate CAR genes into T cell genomes, allowing long-term expression.
[0165] ② Nanoparticle carriers: Nanoparticles are another delivery system that can encapsulate and protect CAR plasmids and deliver them to target cells through the blood system. The surface of nanoparticles can be modified with targeting molecules to improve selectivity for T cells. Common types of nanoparticles include:
[0166] ③ Lipid nanoparticles (LNP): These nanoparticles are widely used for delivering mRNA and plasmid DNA, and have been successfully used in COVID-19 vaccines. By encapsulating plasmid-encoded CARs in lipid nanoparticles, they can be injected into the body, allowing the plasmid to directly enter T cells.
[0167] ④ Polymer nanoparticles: These particles are based on biocompatible polymers such as PLA or PLGA, and can carry genetic materials to T cells through electrostatic adsorption or chemical bonding.
[0168] Objective: Through gene editing, T cells express CAR receptors that specifically recognize tumor antigens.
[0169] 6.4 T cell expansion
[0170] Step: Successfully transduced CAR-T cells are cultured in vitro, and cytokines such as IL-2 are used to promote the massive proliferation of CAR-T cells. The culture environment is usually a closed sterile system that can provide conditions suitable for T cell growth.
[0171] 6.5 Quality detection
[0172] Step: During and after expansion, the number of viable cells generated by CAR-T cells is detected. Meanwhile, CAR-CD40L cells, WT CD3+ T cells and CAR-CD19 cells constructed as before are cultured, and the number of cells is detected on days 4, 8 and 12, respectively. The results are as follows Figure 5 : The results show that the proliferation ability of CAR-CD40L is about 25% lower than that of WT CD3+ T cells and CAR-CD19; while the self-killing rate of previous CAR-CD7 is more than 80%; indicating that CAR-CD40L constructed as before will not significantly weaken the function due to self-killing.
[0173] 7, In vitro tumor killing detection
[0174] Successfully constructed CAR-T cells need to be functionally detected to verify whether they can effectively kill targeted tumor cells. In vitro tumor killing detection is usually carried out in the laboratory by co-culturing tumor cells and CAR-T cells to observe the killing effect of CAR-T cells on tumors.
[0175] 7.1 Target cell preparation (tumor cell line)
[0176] Step: Select appropriate tumor cell lines (Jurkat cells, karpas299 cells and H9 cells), which should express tumor antigens targeted by CAR design (such as CD40L positive tumor cells). These tumor cells can be primary tumor cells derived from patients, or common commercial tumor cell lines.
[0177] Objective: To mimic the tumor cell environment in vivo as a target for CAR-T cells.
[0178] 7.2 Cell co-culture
[0179] Procedure: The constructed CAR-T cells and tumor cells are co-cultured at different effector to target ratios (E ratio). Multiple E ratios are usually set, such as 1:1, 5:1, 10:1, etc., to observe the killing effect of CAR-T cells under different conditions.
[0180] Objective: To mimic the interaction between CAR-T cells and tumor cells in vivo and observe their killing efficiency.
[0181] 7.3 Tumor cell survival rate detection
[0182] Method: Various methods can be used to evaluate tumor cell survival rate and CAR-T cell killing efficiency. Common methods include:
[0183] 7.3.1 Flow Cytometry: Use dyes such as 7-AAD or Annexin V / PI staining to label cells and detect the total amount of viable cells by flow cytometry.
[0184] Objective: Through the above methods, the tumor killing efficiency of CAR-T cells in vitro can be quantitatively evaluated. As shown in Figure 6 , compared with CD3+ T cells and CAR-CD19, the CAR-CD40L prepared as before has better killing effect on T cell tumors, as shown in Figures 7-8 , the expression of CD40L in CD4 is higher than that in CD8+ T cells, but the killing effect of CD3+ CAR-CD40L on T cell tumors does not weaken.
[0185] 7.4 Cytokine analysis
[0186] Procedure: Detect the cytokines secreted by CAR-T cells during the process of killing tumor cells (such as CD4+ T, CD8+ T). Common methods are enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) or flow cytometry combined with cytokine capture reagents.
[0187] Objective: Through the level of cytokine release, evaluate the activation degree and functional effect of CAR-T cells. CAR-T cells usually secrete a large amount of cytokines when attacking tumor cells, which is also an indicator of their activity.
[0188] The above merely is the preferred embodiment of the present application, it should be pointed out that, for ordinary skilled in the art, without departing from the principles of the present application, can also make a number of improvements and refinements, these improvements and refinements should also be considered as the protection scope of the present application.
