Description

[0001] Priority Statement

[0002] This application claims the priority of a Chinese patent application with the application number 202311871606.8, the filing date of November 29, 2023, and the invention title of "Anti-CDH17 Antibody or Its Antigen-Binding Fragment and Their Applications", the entire content of which is incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] The present invention relates to the field of biotechnology, and in particular to an anti-CDH17 antibody or its antigen-binding fragment and their applications. Background Art

[0004] The occurrence and development of tumors is a multi-factor and multi-step interaction process, in which the dysregulation of cell adhesion and motility is one of the important mechanisms for tumor occurrence and development. Cadherin-17 is a new member of the cadherin family discovered in recent years, expressed in mouse liver and small intestine, and plays an important role in cell adhesion, cell recognition, tissue and organ development, and maintenance of morphology. Studies have shown that its expression is closely related to the occurrence and development of digestive system epithelial tumors, and it is expected to become a new tumor target and biomarker.

[0005] Cadherin-17 (CDH17) is a new member of the cadherin family, first analyzed from a mouse liver cell cDNA library, and named Liver-Intestine cadherin (LI-cadherin) because it is only expressed in mouse liver and small intestine. CDH17 is often expressed in embryonic and adult intestinal epithelial cells, as well as some pancreatic duct epithelial cells, but there is almost no obvious expression in hepatocytes, esophageal epithelial cells, and gastric mucosa in healthy individuals.

[0006] Cadherin plays a biological role by mediating calcium-dependent cell-cell junctions. The ligands of classical cadherins are catenins, including α-catenin, β-catenin, γ-catenin, and P120 protein, etc. Cadherin regulates cell-cell adhesion function by interacting with the intracellular cytoskeleton through catenin. CDH17 functions as a functional Ca2+-dependent cell adhesion molecule. However, CDH17 does not interact tightly with the actin of the cytoskeleton through intracellular catenin, but directly interacts with the cytoskeleton for its cell adhesion. During tumor development, it mainly binds to integrin α2β1 on adjacent tumor cells through the extracellular domain EC6 containing the RGD domain (green), resulting in enhanced integrin activation, adhesion, proliferation, invasion, tumorigenesis, and metastasis. At the same time, studies have found that the expression of CDH17 is an independent prognostic predictor for predicting the survival of patients. The expression of CDH17 affects the prognosis of patients with lymph node-negative gastric cancer, which may reflect the role of this protein in maintaining polarity and normal cell-cell adhesion. Therefore, developing and optimizing anti-CDH17 antibodies is of great significance for preventing or treating tumor-related diseases.

[0007] In view of this, the present invention is specifically proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0070] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0071] The articles "a / an" and "the" in the present invention include plural references unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. For example, "an antibody" refers to one antibody or more than one antibody.

[0072] In the present invention, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one such feature. In the description of the present invention, "a plurality of" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0073] In the present invention, the terms "CDH17" and "CDH-17" are used interchangeably and refer to cadherin Cadherin-17, also known as liver-intestine cadherin (LI-cadherin), which belongs to the non-classical cadherin superfamily. Its structure has a certain homology with that of classical cadherins, but CDH17 has its unique structure: 1) The extracellular region of CDH17 consists of 7 repeat sequences ( Figure 1 ), which is different from the 5 of non-classical cadherins; 2) In the extracellular D1 cell adhesion recognition region, CDH17 contains a segment of AAL sequence that replaces the corresponding HAV sequence of classical cadherins; 3) The cytoplasmic tail region of CDH17 has only 20 amino acid residues, while the cytoplasmic tail region of classical cadherins has 150-160 amino acid residues. Studies have shown that abnormal structures and dysfunction of cadherins are closely related to the invasion and metastasis of tumors. Due to the short cytoplasmic tail domain structure of CDH17, CDH17 cannot interact with the catenin network or the actin cytoskeleton. Therefore, CDH17 is classified as a variant of classical cadherin. The N-terminus of CDH17 is located extracellularly and the C-terminus is located intracellularly. CDH17 has 7 extracellular domains (i.e., the extracellular region, also known as ECD (Extra Cellular Domain), including CDH17 D1-7, or also referred to as EC1-EC7), a transmembrane region, and a cytoplasmic tail region. Its adhesion characteristics are mainly determined by the extracellular domains. The schematic diagram of the structure of human CDH17 is as Figure 2 shown. Unless otherwise stated, the term "CDH17" includes human CDH17, subtypes, and species homologs expressed by cells naturally expressing or transfected with the CDH17 gene. The term also includes artificially modified CDH17, and the artificial modification includes, but is not limited to, polypeptides or proteins after mutation, truncation, or fusion with other domains, and retains the necessary antigenic epitopes for binding to antibodies. The anti-CDH17 antibody or its antigen-binding fragment provided by the present invention can specifically bind to CDH17.

[0074] In the present invention, the term "antibody" includes any immunoglobulin that can bind to a specific antigen. The term "antibody" is used in the broadest sense and encompasses various antibody structures, including but not limited to monoclonal antibodies, polyclonal antibodies, monospecific antibodies, multispecific antibodies, full-length antibodies, and antigen-binding fragments, as long as they exhibit the desired antigen-binding activity. Generally, a natural intact antibody contains two heavy (H) chains and two light (L) chains. Antibodies can be classified into five main classes or isotypes, namely IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM, depending on whether they contain α, δ, ε, γ, and μ heavy chains, respectively. Several main antibody classes can also be further divided into subclasses, such as IgG1 (γ1 heavy chain), IgG2 (γ2 heavy chain), IgG3 (γ3 heavy chain), IgG4 (γ4 heavy chain), IgA1 (α1 heavy chain), or IgA2 (α2 heavy chain), etc. Each heavy chain consists of a variable region (VH) and first, second, third, and fourth (optionally) constant regions (CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4, respectively). Mammalian light chains can be divided into λ or κ, and each light chain consists of a variable region (VL) and a constant region (CL). The variable regions of the light and heavy chains determine antigen binding. The variable region of each chain usually contains three hypervariable regions, called "complementary determining regions (CDRs)". Among them, the light chain CDRs include LCDR1, LCDR2, and LCDR3, and the heavy chain CDRs include HCDR1, HCDR2, and HCDR3. The variable regions (VH and VL) each consist of three complementary determining regions connected by four framework regions (FRs). Usually, the variable regions VL / VH of the heavy and light chains can be obtained by connecting the CDRs and FRs numbered as follows in the following combination: FR1-CDR1-FR2-CDR2-FR3-CDR3-FR4.

[0075] In the present invention, the term "antigen-binding fragment" refers to a substance that contains the CDRs of an antibody, lacks some amino acids present in the full-length chain, but is still capable of specifically binding to an antigen. Such fragments are biologically active because they bind to the target antigen and can compete with other antigen-binding molecules (including intact antibodies) for binding to a given epitope. Examples of antigen-binding fragments include but are not limited to Fab, Fab', F(ab')2, Fv fragments, disulfide-stabilized Fv fragments (dsFv), (dsFv)2, bispecific dsFv (dsFv-dsFv'), disulfide-stabilized bifunctional antibodies (ds diabody), single-chain antibody molecules (scFv), scFv dimers (bivalent bifunctional antibodies), and the minimal recognition unit of an antibody. The above antigen-binding fragments are capable of binding to the same antigen as the parental antibody.

[0076] In the present invention, the term "Fab" of an antibody refers to a part of an antibody composed of a single light chain (including a variable region and a constant region) and the variable region and the first constant region of a single heavy chain bound together by a disulfide bond. The "Fab' fragment" refers to a Fab fragment containing a part of the hinge region. "F(ab')2" refers to a dimer of Fab'. The "Fv fragment" is composed of the variable region of a single light chain and / or the variable region of a single heavy chain bound together. The "single-chain Fv antibody" or "scFv" refers to an antibody fragment formed by directly connecting the variable region of the light chain and the variable region of the heavy chain or by connecting them through a peptide linker sequence. The "minimal antibody recognition unit" refers to a unit containing only a single CDR structure in the variable region. Although the minimal recognition unit has a small molecular weight and low affinity, it has the ability to bind to an antigen.

[0077] The CDR boundaries of the antibody or its antigen-binding fragment in the present invention can be defined or identified according to the IMGT, Kabat, Chothia, AbM, Contact definition methods, and the CDRs defined in other acceptable ways in the art also fall within the protection scope of the present invention (Kaas, Q et al. IMGT unique numbering for immunoglobulin and T cell receptor constant domains and Ig super family C-like domains. Dev. Comp. Immunol. 29, 185-203, (2005); R.M. MacCallum et al..

IMGT unique numbering for immunoglobulin and T cell receptor variable domains and Ig superfamily V-like domains, Developmental and Comparative Immunology 27(2003)55–77).

[0078] In the present invention, the term "amino acid" refers to naturally occurring amino acids and synthetic amino acids, as well as amino acid analogs and amino acid mimetics that act in a manner similar to naturally occurring amino acids. Naturally occurring amino acids include those encoded by the genetic code and their modified amino acids, such as hydroxyproline, γ-carboxyglutamic acid, and O-phosphoserine. Common naturally occurring amino acids are, for example: alanine (Ala; A), arginine (Arg; R), asparagine (Asn; N), aspartic acid (Asp; D), cysteine (Cys; C); glutamic acid (Glu; E), glutamine (Gln; Q), glycine (Gly; G); histidine (His; H), isoleucine (Ile; I), leucine (Leu; L), lysine (Lys; K), methionine (Met; M), phenylalanine (Phe; F), proline (Pro; P), serine (Ser; S), threonine (Thr; T), tryptophan (Trp; W), tyrosine (Tyr; Y), and valine (Val; V). Amino acid analogs are compounds that have the same basic chemical structure as naturally occurring amino acids (i.e., an α-carbon bonded to hydrogen, a carboxyl group, an amino group, and an R group), such as homoserine, norleucine, methionine sulfoxide, and methionine methyl sulfonium. Amino acid analogs typically have a modified R group (e.g., norleucine) or a modified peptide backbone, but retain the same basic chemical structure as naturally occurring amino acids. Amino acid mimetics are chemical compounds that have a structure different from the general chemical structure of amino acids but act in a manner similar to naturally occurring amino acids. In the present invention, the term "percent identity" refers to the degree to which the amino acids of two polypeptides are the same at equivalent positions when the two sequences are optimally aligned. Alignment for determining the percent amino acid sequence identity can be performed in a variety of ways in the art, such as using software well known in the art, such as BLAST, BLAST-2, ALIGN, MEGALIGN (DNASTAR), CLUSTALW, or CLUSTAL OMEGA. Those skilled in the art can determine the appropriate parameters for aligning the sequences, including any algorithms required to achieve the maximum alignment over the full length of the comparison sequences.

[0079] In the present invention, the term "specifically binds" or "specifically binding" refers to a non-random binding reaction between two molecules, such as the reaction between an antibody and an antigen. In some specific embodiments, for example, it is determined according to fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) technology.

[0080] In the present invention, the term "anti-CDH17 antibody" refers to an antibody that can specifically bind to CDH17. In some specific embodiments, the "anti-CDH17 antibody" specifically binds to human and / or monkey CDH17.

[0081] In the present invention, the term "affinity" or "avidity" refers to the strength of the non-covalent interaction between an immunoglobulin molecule (i.e., an antibody) or a fragment thereof and an antigen. The strength or affinity of an immunobinding interaction can be represented by the equilibrium dissociation constant (KD) of the interaction, where a smaller KD value indicates a higher affinity. The KD can be determined by using any conventional method known in the art, including but not limited to Biacore assays, Octet methods, microscale thermophoresis, HPLC MS methods, and fluorescence-activated cell sorting techniques.

[0082] The binding of the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof provided by the present invention to CDH17 can also be characterized by the "half maximal effective concentration (EC50)". The EC50 refers to the concentration of a drug or antibody that can achieve 50% of the maximum biological effect after a specific exposure time. Generally, the smaller the EC50, the better the affinity, indicating that binding to the target protein can occur at a lower concentration. The EC50 value can be determined by binding assays known in the art, such as direct or indirect binding assays (e.g., enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), fluorescence-activated cell sorting techniques, and other binding assays).

[0083] In the present invention, the term "epitope" refers to any antigenic determinant on an antigen that is bound by the paratope of an antibody. An antigenic determinant is usually a special chemical group with a certain composition and structure. Epitopes can be linear (i.e., continuous) or conformational (i.e., including spaced-apart amino acid residues, non-continuous). Epitopes define the minimum binding site of an antibody and are thus specific targets for an antibody or an antigen-binding fragment thereof. Epitopes can be determined by any method well known in the art, such as conventional immunoassays, antibody competitive binding assays, or X-ray crystallography or related structure determination methods (e.g., nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy).

[0084] In the present invention, the term "bispecific antibody" refers to an antibody molecule that can bind to multiple (two or more) different antigenic epitopes of the same antigen or multiple (two or more) different antigens.

[0085] The "chimeric antigen receptor" in the present invention, CAR, is an artificial receptor that mimics the function of TCR and is composed of an extracellular domain, a transmembrane domain, and an intracellular signaling domain connected in sequence. When the antigen (receptor) on the surface of tumor cells binds to the antibody (ligand) of the chimeric antigen receptor, signals can be transmitted to the intracellular through the hinge region and transmembrane region. The intracellular signaling domain then converts the signals into activation signals to activate effector cells. The effector cells kill tumor cells by secreting perforin or producing cytokines. At the same time, the effector cells themselves also proliferate, further expanding the immune killing effect. The extracellular domain generally consists of a single-chain variable fragment (scFv) of a monoclonal antibody responsible for recognizing and binding antigens and a hinge region (Hinge) that plays a connecting role. The single-chain variable fragment is the antigen-binding domain of CAR, and this domain determines the specificity and function of CAR-immune cells. The hinge region is the extracellular structural region of CAR that connects the single-chain variable fragment and the transmembrane domain. It usually maintains the stability required for robust CAR expression and activity in effector cells. The hinge region of most CARs is derived from the hinge of IgG or the extracellular region of CD8α / CD28. The type and length of the hinge region have an important impact on the functional activity of CAR. The transmembrane domain connects the extracellular domain of CAR to the intracellular signal transduction domain. Commonly used transmembrane domains are derived from CD4, CD8, CD28, and CD3ζ or their derivatives. The selection of the transmembrane domain affects the activation degree of the CAR structure in cell function. The intracellular domain consists of a co-stimulatory domain and a signal transduction domain. The co-stimulatory domain usually comes from the CD28 receptor family (CD28, ICOS) or the tumor necrosis factor receptor family (4-1BB, OX40, CD27). The signal transduction domain is usually the T cell receptor TCR / CD3ζ chain or the immunoglobulin Fc receptor FcεRIγ chain.

[0086] The CAR of the present invention (including its functional parts and functional variants) can be obtained by methods known in the art, for example, it can be prepared by any suitable method for preparing polypeptides or proteins.

[0087] In the present invention, the term "engineered immune cell" refers to an immune cell expressing CAR or an immune cell modified with CAR, wherein the immune cells include but are not limited to T cells (for example, α / β T cells and γ / δ T cells), natural killer cells (NK cells), monocytes, macrophages, natural killer T cells (NKT cells), dendritic cells, granulocytes, B cells, lymphocytes, white blood cells, and / or peripheral blood mononuclear cells.

[0088] In the present invention, the term "nucleic acid molecule" refers to a polymeric form of nucleotides of any length, and nucleic acid molecules include ribonucleotides and / or deoxyribonucleotides. Examples of nucleic acid molecules include, but are not limited to, single-stranded, double-stranded or multi-stranded DNA or RNA, genomic DNA, cDNA, DNA-RNA hybrids, or polymers containing purine and pyrimidine bases or other natural, chemical or biochemical modifications, unnatural or derivatized nucleobases. When a nucleic acid molecule encodes a protein or polypeptide, the encoding optionally encodes the sense strand or the antisense strand. Nucleic acid molecules can be naturally occurring, synthetic, recombinant, or any combination thereof. The terms "nucleic acid molecule", "nucleic acid" and "polynucleotide" can be used interchangeably.

[0089] In an alternative embodiment, the nucleic acid molecule is RNA or DNA, and the nucleic acid molecule can be single-stranded or double-stranded, preferably double-stranded DNA. A nucleic acid molecule is "operably linked" when it is placed in a functional relationship with another nucleic acid sequence. For example, a promoter or enhancer is operably linked to a coding sequence if it affects the transcription of the coding sequence. It is preferably DNA when incorporated into a vector.

[0090] In the present invention, the term "vector" refers to a vehicle into which a genetic element (such as the aforementioned nucleic acid molecule) can be operably inserted and which enables the genetic element to be expressed, for example, to produce a protein, RNA or DNA encoded by the genetic element, or to replicate the genetic element. Vectors can be used to transform, transduce or transfect host cells so that the genetic elements they carry are expressed in the host cells. For example, vectors include: plasmids, phagemids, cosmids, artificial chromosomes such as yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs), bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs) or P1-derived artificial chromosomes (PACs), bacteriophages such as lambda phage or M13 phage, and animal viruses. Vectors can contain various elements that control expression, including promoter sequences, transcription initiation sequences, enhancer sequences, selection elements and reporter genes. In addition, vectors can also contain an origin of replication. Vectors can also include components that assist their entry into cells, including but not limited to, viral particles, liposomes or protein coats. Vectors can be expression vectors or cloning vectors. In some embodiments, the vectors provided by the present invention (such as expression vectors) contain the nucleic acid sequence encoding an antibody or an antigen-binding fragment thereof according to the present invention, at least one promoter operably linked to the nucleic acid sequence (such as, SV40, CMV, EF 1α), and at least one selection marker.

[0091] In the present invention, the terms "purified" or "isolated" associated with a polypeptide or nucleic acid mean that the polypeptide or nucleic acid is not in its natural medium or natural form. Thus, the term "isolated" includes a polypeptide or nucleic acid removed from its original environment, for example, if it is naturally occurring, from its natural environment. In connection with a nucleic acid, the terms isolated or purified indicate, for example, that the nucleic acid is not in its natural genomic context (e.g., in a vector, as an expression cassette, linked to a promoter, or artificially introduced into a heterologous host cell).

[0092] In the present invention, the term "recombinant cell" refers to a cell that can or has been introduced with an exogenous polynucleotide and / or vector. The exogenous polynucleotide may or may not be integrated into the genome of the "recombinant cell". When a vector is contained in the recombinant cell, the vector can be introduced into mammalian cells to construct recombinant cells, and then these recombinant cells are used to express the antibody or antigen-binding fragment provided by the present invention. By culturing the recombinant cells, the corresponding antibody can be obtained. Available mammalian cells can be CHO cells, etc.

[0093] In the present invention, the term "pharmaceutical composition" exists in a form that allows the biological activity of the active ingredient to be effective and does not contain additional ingredients that are unacceptably toxic to the subject to whom the composition will be administered. In some specific embodiments, the antibody contained in the above pharmaceutical composition or the expressed antibody can specifically target and bind to CDH17.

[0094] In the present invention, the term "binding to CDH17" includes binding to an isolated CDH17 molecule and / or a cell expressing CDH17.

[0095] In the present invention, a "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier" may include any solvent, dispersion medium, coating, antibacterial and antifungal agents, isotonic agents, absorption delaying agents, etc. that are physiologically compatible.

[0096] In the present invention, the term "subject" or "patient" refers to a mammalian subject or patient. Exemplary subjects include, but are not limited to, humans, monkeys, dogs, cats, mice, rats, cows, horses, camels, birds, goats, and sheep. In certain embodiments, the subject is a human. In some embodiments, the subject is a human suspected of having cancer, an autoimmune disease or condition, and / or an infection.

[0097] In the present invention, the term "diagnosis" refers to the identification of a pathological condition, disease or disorder, such as the identification of a CDH17-related disease, or refers to the identification of a subject suffering from a CDH17-related disease who may benefit from a specific treatment regimen. In some embodiments, the diagnosis includes the identification of an abnormal content or activity of CDH17. In some embodiments, the diagnosis refers to the identification of cancer or an autoimmune disease in a subject.

[0098] In the present invention, a "CDH17-related" disease, disorder or condition refers to any disease or condition caused by, exacerbated by, or associated with an increase or decrease in the expression or activity of CDH17. In some embodiments, the CDH17-related disease, disorder or condition is a disorder associated with excessive cell proliferation, such as cancer. In some embodiments, the CDH17-related disease or condition is characterized by the expression or overexpression of CDH17 and / or CDH17-related genes.

[0099] In the present invention, the term "cancer expressing CDH17" refers to a cancer that expresses CDH17 in cancer cells or tumor-infiltrating immune cells or immunosuppressive cells, and the level of CDH17 expression in cancer cells or tumor-infiltrating immune cells or immunosuppressive cells is significantly higher than that expected in normal cells.

[0100] In the present invention, the term "effective amount" refers to a therapeutic amount that is sufficient to reduce or improve the severity and / or duration of a disorder and / or one or more of its symptoms; prevent the progression of a disease; cause the regression of a disease; prevent the recurrence, development or progression of one or more symptoms associated with a disease; detect a disease; or enhance or improve the prophylactic or therapeutic effect of another therapy (such as a prophylactic agent or a therapeutic agent). The therapeutically effective dose of the antibody or its antigen-binding fragment described in the present invention depends on a variety of factors well known in the art, such as body weight, age, medical history, current treatment, the health status of the subject and the potential for cross-infection, allergies, hypersensitivity and side effects, as well as the route of administration and the degree of tumor development. Those skilled in the art (such as doctors or veterinarians) can proportionally reduce or increase the dose according to these or other conditions or requirements.

[0411] Example 1. Generation of mouse antibodies against CDH17

[0412] 1. Material preparation

[0413] To generate cells stably expressing human CDH17, CHO cells were transfected with a vector encoding human CDH17 (SEQ ID NO. 591). Then, the antibody (Boehringer-Ingelheim) R2800 targeting the CDH17 protein (the sequence is from Patent CN110582513A, the amino acid sequence of the heavy chain variable region is as shown in SEQ ID NO. 592, and the amino acid sequence of the light chain variable region is as shown in SEQ ID NO. 593) was used as a positive control, and CHO cells were used as a negative control by flow cytometry to screen for stable cell lines. A eukaryotic expression vector encoding the extracellular region fragment of human CDH17 (SEQ ID NO. 594, SEQ ID NO. 595, SEQ ID NO. 596) was constructed, and this vector was transiently transfected into HEK293 cells to express and purify the immunogen and the protein for screening. The schematic diagram of the structural relationship between human CDH17 and the extracellular region fragment of human CDH17 (i.e., human CDH17 ECD) is as Figure 2 shown, where human CDH17 ECD includes a total of 7 domains D1-D7 (also known as EC1-EC7), and the CDH17 ECD structure is as Figure 1 shown.

[0423] Mouse immunization was performed according to the following immunization protocol (Table 21).

[0424] The immunized animals were BALB / c mice, female, 5-8 weeks old. The immunization frequency was once a week. The first immunization was by subcutaneous injection in the back and abdomen, and the rest were immunized by intraperitoneal injection. The immunogen was R2426 (the amino acid sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO.594), and the immunization strategy is shown in Table 21.

[0425] Table 21: Immunization protocol for generating monoclonal antibodies

[0426]

[0427] 3. Generation of hybridomas producing anti-CDH17 mouse monoclonal antibodies

[0428] Give a boost immunization to the fusion target mice. Resuscitate and expand the culture of sufficient sp2 / mIL6 myeloma cells in advance to ensure cell quantity and viability. Sacrifice 12 feeder mice 3 days in advance, take out the peritoneal suspension and spread it evenly on the 96-well plate as the feeder fusion plate for standby, 150 μL per well. Isolate mouse splenocytes based on the standard protocol, and mix them with mouse myeloma cells at the ratios of 5×10 6 / plate, 3.1×10 6 / plate, and 4.4×10 6 / plate in a 1:1 ratio. Perform fusion under the action of an electrofusion apparatus, and add the fused cells to the feeder fusion plate in a volume of 50 μL. Place it in an incubator (Panasonic MCO-18AIC), and the culture conditions are 37 °C and 5% CO2. Six days after electrofusion, aspirate the old culture medium in the fusion plate, and supplement 200 μL of fresh culture medium to each well. On the 7th day, take the supernatant for the hCDH17-his (SEQ ID NO.595) ELISA binding experiment, and determine the positive target wells according to the experimental results, then perform aseptic medium replacement, and the volume of the supplemented medium is 200 μL. On the 8th day after electrofusion, take 100 μL of the culture supernatant for the screening of hCDH17 (D5-D7)-his (SEQ ID NO.596) ELISA binding. On the 9th day after electrofusion, take the culture supernatant for the AsPC-1 flow cytometry binding detection, and on the 12th day after electrofusion, take the culture supernatant for the flow cytometry binding screening of CHO-hCDH17. Select the positive pool according to the comprehensive screening results for subcloning. Then, select at least one clone that retains the reactivity of the parental mother cells (determined by FACS) from the in vitro cultured hybridomas, generate 9 - 20 tubes for each clone, and store them in liquid nitrogen.

[0429] 4. Select monoclonal antibodies that bind to CDH17

[0430] We performed an isotype ELISA assay to determine the isotype of the antibodies. Use a mouse monoclonal antibody Ig class / subclass identification ELISA kit (IgG1\IgG2a\IgG2b\IgG3\IgM\IgA) (Biolong, Cat#BF06001) to determine the Ig subclass of the identified CDH17-reactive monoclonal antibodies. The results of the antibody isotypes produced are shown in Table 22, the amino acid sequences of each variable region are shown in Table 23, and the CDR regions of each antibody are shown in Tables 1 - 20.

[0439]

[0440] 5. Generation of monoclonal antibodies

[0441] Inoculate hybridoma cells into a dialysis-based bioreactor at 2×10 6 cells / ml, and harvest the supernatant containing antibodies once a week. Purify mouse monoclonal antibodies using Protein A (GE-MabSelect SuRe LX, Cat#17-5438-03) by FPLC. Determine the antibody concentration by BCA kit or A280 absorbance value, determine the antibody purity by SEC (size exclusion chromatography), and check the purity by SDS (sodium dodecyl sulfate) gel electrophoresis and Coomassie Brilliant Blue staining.

[0442] Example 2. Binding characteristics of monoclonal antibodies against CDH17

[0443] Use CHO-CDH17 expressing human CDH17 as the overexpression positive cell, and AsPC-1 (human metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma cells) as the positive cell endogenously expressing CDH17. We detected the binding activity of monoclonal antibodies to CHO-CDH17 cells and AsPC-1 cells by flow cytometry analysis.

[0444] 1. Binding to CHO-CDH17 cells

[0445] Culture sufficient CHO-CDH17 cells and collect the cells by centrifugation. At the same time, dilute the monoclonal antibody and the corresponding positive antibody with PBS + 3% FBS, starting from a concentration of 10 μg / mL, and perform 3-fold serial dilution or 4-fold serial dilution to obtain 8 concentration gradients for standby. Wash the collected cells once with PBS + 3% FBS and then resuspend the cells with PBS + 3% FBS to 2×10 6 cells / mL, plate the cells in a 96-well plate, 100 μL per well (2×10 5(Add 100 μL of the diluted antibody to the cells and incubate at 4 °C for 30 minutes; centrifuge to remove the supernatant, wash the cells twice with PBS, then resuspend the cells with the diluted PE-labeled anti-mouse IgG FC antibody (Biolegend, 405307), incubate at 4 °C in the dark for 30 minutes, wash twice with PBS, and then resuspend with 100 μL of PBS. Analyze by flow cytometry, and calculate the EC50 value of the binding affinity of the antibody to CHO-CDH17 based on the mean fluorescence intensity using the software GraphPad Prism 7.0. The results are shown as Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 follows. Most of the monoclonal antibodies had good binding to CHO-hCDH17. R2800 was used as a positive control antibody, with the heavy chain amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO. 592 and the light chain amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO. 593 (as shown in Table 23). mIgG2a was used as a negative control antibody.

[0446] 2. Binding to AsPC-1 cells

[0447] The binding activity of the monoclonal antibodies to AsPC-1 cells was detected by flow cytometry. After digesting the cells with Versene solution (Gibco, 15040066), centrifuge to collect the cells for standby. The antibody was diluted starting from 10 μg / mL or 20 μg / mL in 3-fold or 4-fold gradients, with 8 concentration gradients. After co-incubating the antibody with the cells, the subsequent experimental procedures were the same as those for the CHO-CDH17 cell binding experiment. Resuspend the cells with 100 μL of PBS, analyze by flow cytometry, and calculate the EC50 value of the binding affinity of the antibody to AsPC-1 cells based on the mean fluorescence intensity using the software GraphPad Prism 7.0.

[0448] The results are shown as Figure 6 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 follows. Twenty mouse monoclonal antibodies had good binding to AsPC-1.

[0449] Example 3. Detection of the binding activity of monoclonal antibodies to monkey CDH17

[0450] In this example, the binding activity of the monoclonal antibody to cynomolgus CDH17 (Acrobiosystem) was detected. The cynomolgus CDH17 recombinant protein (cynomolgus CDH17) was diluted to 0.5 μg / mL with 50 mmol Coating Buffer in advance, 100 μL per well, and placed overnight at 4°C. The supernatant was discarded, and the plate was washed three times with 1×PBST buffer. Then, PBS + 1% FBS was added at 100 μL / well and incubated at 37°C for 1 hour. Meanwhile, the monoclonal antibody was diluted with PBS + 1% FBS to correspond to the positive control R2800, starting from a concentration of 10 μg / mL and serially diluted 4-fold to obtain 8 concentration gradients for standby. After the blocking was completed, the supernatant was discarded, 100 μL of the diluted antibody was added, and incubated at 37°C for 1 hour. After the incubation, the plate was washed four times with 1×PBST buffer, and then 100 μL of the diluted anti-mouse IgG c antibody conjugated with HRP (Sigma, A0168) was added and incubated at 37°C for 30 minutes. After the incubation, the plate was washed five times with 1×PBST buffer, and the color development solution was added for appropriate color development and then the color development was terminated. The value was read by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay reader, and then the EC50 value of the antibody binding to the cynomolgus CDH17 recombinant protein was analyzed and calculated using the software GraphPad Prism 7.0 at OD450nm.

[0451] The results are as Figure 9 and Figure 10 shown. The control antibody R2800 did not bind to cynomolgus CDH17. Among the mouse monoclonal antibodies, except for a few with slightly poor binding activity, all had good binding to cynomolgus CDH17.

The recombinant murine CDH17 protein (mCDH17) was diluted to 0.5 μg / mL with 50 mmol Coating Buffer in advance, 100 μL per well, and incubated overnight at 4°C. The supernatant was discarded, and the plate was washed three times with 1×PBST buffer. Then, PBS + 1% FBS was added at 100 μL / well and incubated at 37°C for 1 hour. Meanwhile, the monoclonal antibody and the corresponding positive control R2800 were diluted with PBS + 1% FBS. Starting from a concentration of 10 μg / mL, they were serially diluted 4-fold to obtain 8 concentration gradients for standby. After the blocking was completed, the supernatant was discarded, 100 μL of the diluted antibody was added, and the mixture was incubated at 37°C for 1 hour.

[0466] Example 7 Detection of the cytotoxic activity mediated by monoclonal antibodies

[0467] The cytotoxic activity mediated by monoclonal antibodies against CHO-hCDH17 cells overexpressing was detected by flow cytometry.

[0468] Cultivate sufficient CHO-hCDH17 cells, collect the cells by centrifugation, resuspend the cells after labeling with the fluorescent dye CFSE (BD Bioscience, 565082), and adjust the cell density to 4×10 5 cells / mL for standby. Collect the cultured NK92 cells, resuspend them with the medium of target cells (AsPC-1 cells) after centrifugation, and adjust the cell density to 1.2×10 6 cells / mL. At the same time, dilute the monoclonal antibody and the corresponding positive control antibodies R2800 and R2803 (R2803 is a nanobody with the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.598) with the medium of target cells. R0860 is an mIgG2a isotype control antibody (Isotype Control). Dilute from 20 μg / mL in 40-fold serial dilutions to obtain 3 concentration gradients for standby. After resuspending the collected target cells, plate them at 50 μL per well (2×10 4 cells), add 100 μL per well (1.2×10 5 cells) of the collected effector cells (NK92 cells), and then add 50 μL of the diluted antibody. Incubate at 37 °C for 6 hours; then centrifuge to remove the supernatant, resuspend the cells with the diluted Propidium Iodide Solution (Biolegend, 421301), 100 μL per well, incubate in the dark at room temperature for 20 minutes. After resuspension, perform on-machine detection, and then use FITC + PE + percentage to analyze and calculate antibody-mediated cell killing by using the software GraphPad Prism 7.0.

[0469] As Figure 19 shown, no killing activity was detected for the positive antibody. Among the monoclonal antibodies, F1-87.15, F1-127.8, F1-86.9, F1-41.16, F1-127.13, F2-71.18, F2-71.19, F2-155.7, F2-186.1, F2-324.7, F2-84.3, and F2-291.2 possess ADCC (antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity) activity.

[0470] Meanwhile, the killing activity of the monoclonal antibody-mediated on AsPC-1 cells endogenously expressing human CDH17 was detected by using the LDH method ((lactate dehydrogenase) method for cytotoxicity detection). Cultivate sufficient AsPC-1 cells, collect the cells by centrifugation, and adjust the cell density to 4×10 5 cells / ml for standby. Collect the cultured NK92 cells, resuspend them with the medium of target cells after centrifugation, and adjust the cell density to 1.2×10 6cells / ml. At the same time, dilute the monoclonal antibody and the corresponding positive control antibodies R2800 and R2803 with the medium of the target cells (AsPC-1 cells), starting from a concentration of 20 μg / mL, and perform 40-fold serial dilutions to obtain 3 concentration gradients for standby. After resuspending the collected target cells, plate them at 50 μL per well (2×10 4 cells), add 100 μL per well (1.2×10 5 cells) of the collected effector cells (NK92 cells), then add 50 μL of the diluted antibody, and incubate at 37 °C for 6 hours; 45 minutes in advance, add 20 μL of lysis buffer to the maximum release wells of the target cells, then centrifuge and transfer 40 μL of the supernatant to a new 96-well transparent flat bottom plate, and add 40 μL of CytoTox (Promega, G1780) reagent to each well, mix well by shaking at room temperature for 30 minutes, then add 40 μL / well of the stop solution, mix well by shaking at room temperature for 5 - 10 minutes, and then read the OD490nm in the microplate reader. Analyze and calculate the antibody-mediated cell killing by using the software GraphPad Prism 7.0.

[0471] As Figure 20 shown, most antibodies in the murine monoclonal antibodies were detected to have ADCC activity, among which F1-87.15, F1-76.12, F2-155.7, F2-186.1, F2-238.14, F2-324.7, F2-55.10, F2-84.3, and F3-1.5 were better.

[0474] Culture sufficient AsPC-1 cells, digest them, centrifuge to collect the cells, adjust the cell density to 1×10 5 cells / mL, plate at 50 μL per well, and incubate overnight. Dilute the antibody starting from 10 μg / mL with the corresponding medium of AsPC-1 cells, perform 3-fold serial dilutions to obtain 8 concentration points, and at the same time dilute the secondary antibody anti-mIgG FC-MMAF (MORADEC, AM-102-AF) to 2 μg / mL. Add the antibody and the secondary antibody to each well at 25 μL per well and mix well, then place them in an incubator at 37 °C and incubate statically for 3 days. Add After mixing with the Luminescent Cell Viability Assay (Promega, G7571) in a microplate shaker, the luminescence was read in a microplate reader, and the endocytic activity of the antibody was analyzed and calculated using the software GraphPad Prism 7.0. The results are as Figure 21 shown.

[0475] Example 9 Preparation of Humanized CDH-17 Murine Conventional Antibodies

[0476] The murine antibody sequences of F2-155.7 and F2-89.7 were used to prepare the chimeric antibodies R4723 and R4850 of the hIgG1 subtype.

[0477] Humanized antibodies were prepared using the murine antibody sequences of R4723 and R4850. Three-dimensional structure homology modeling was performed on the selected sequences, and the structure was determined to be an acceptable structure by methods such as Ramachandran plot. The antibody sequences were compared with the antibody GermLine database to obtain a highly homologous human germline template. The CDRs were transplanted into the corresponding human templates. The three-dimensional structure of the transplanted antibody was simulated and analyzed again. The buried residues, residues that directly interact with the CDR region, and residues that have an important impact on the conformation of the variable region were reverted and mutated, and the chemically unstable amino acid residues in the CDR region were optimized. A series of humanized antibody molecules R4709-R4718 were generated for R4723. The amino acid sequences of the heavy chain variable region of the antibody are shown in Table 24, the amino acid sequences of the light chain variable region are shown in Table 25, and the combination modes of the heavy chain variable region and the light chain variable region are shown in Table 26; a series of humanized antibody molecules R4832-R4843 were generated for R4850. The amino acid sequences of the heavy chain variable region of the antibody are shown in Table 27, the amino acid sequences of the light chain variable region are shown in Table 28, and the combination modes of the heavy chain variable region and the light chain variable region are shown in Table 29.
