Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the technical field of biopharmaceuticals, and specifically relates to anti-TL1A antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof and their uses. More specifically, it relates to anti-TL1A antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof, nucleic acid molecules, expression vectors, recombinant cells, conjugates, reagents or kits, pharmaceutical compositions and their uses, and methods for detecting TL1A. Background Art

[0002] The tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and TNF-receptor (TNFR) superfamilies, namely TNFSF and TNFRSF, play a key role in the establishment and function of the immune system. TL1A is a TNF-like cytokine, which is a type II membrane protein encoded by the TNFSF15 gene. TL1A can exist in a membrane-bound form or a soluble form, and both forms have biological activities and play an immunomodulatory function. TL1A and its functional receptor death receptor 3 (DR3, also known as TNFRSF25) are the molecules with the highest homology to TNFR1 among the TNFRSF members. The TL1A / DR3 cytokine system is a key factor in mucosal immunity and intestinal homeostasis. Preclinical studies have found that TL1A plays a key and multifaceted role in the immune response during the inflammatory process, which reveals the potential of targeting TL1A for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

[0003] In a steady-state environment or various inflammatory environments, the interaction between TL1A and its functional receptor DR3 deeply affects intestinal mucosal immunity; many genetic studies have demonstrated that TL1A and DcR3 (TNFRSF6B, decoy receptor 3) have genetic polymorphisms, and they may be either protective factors or risk factors; after TL1A binds to DR3, the TRADD signal is activated, causing the cell to activate the NFκB signaling pathway through TRAF2 on the one hand, leading to the expression of a series of pro-inflammatory factors; on the other hand, the Caspase-3 / 7 apoptosis signaling pathway is activated via FADD inside the cell, initiating apoptosis. Thus, blocking the TL1A signaling pathway can reduce the inflammatory response and achieve a therapeutic effect.

[0004] The antibody PF-06480605, which is advancing relatively fast at present, is an anti-TL1A monoclonal antibody that can block the TL1A signaling pathway and has shown good safety and tolerance in clinical trials. It has demonstrated significant efficacy in the 12-week treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC). Another blocking anti-TL1A monoclonal antibody, PRA023, successfully reached the primary endpoint of clinical remission at the 12th week in the clinical trial of moderate to severe ulcerative colitis. These studies all support that TL1A is a potential target for the treatment of IBD. Therefore, it is very important to develop a novel anti-TL1A antibody or its antigen-binding fragment.

[0076] LCDR3: QQX 35 SSX 36 PX 37 T, wherein, X 35 is Y, W or H, X 36 is Y, D or S, X 37 is Y or W.

[0077] The anti-TL1A antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof of the present application has TL1A binding affinity, in particular, it can specifically bind to TL1A and can be used for detecting TL1A; it can also block the activity of TL1A-activated transcription factor NFκB, has the effect of inhibiting IFN-γ, and can be used for preventing and / or treating TL1A-mediated related diseases.

[0078] As used herein, the term "antigen-binding fragment" refers to a fragment that contains part or all of an antibody, lacks at least some of the amino acids present in the full-length chain but still has the performance activity of specifically binding to an antigen. For example, the fragment may contain part or all of the antibody CDR. Such fragments are biologically active because they bind to the antigen and can compete with other antigen-binding molecules (including intact antibodies) for binding to a given epitope. Such fragments are selected from Fab, Fv, or scFv. Such fragments can be produced by recombinant nucleic acid technology or can be produced by enzymatic cleavage or chemical cleavage of antigen-binding molecules (including intact antibodies).

[0079] As used herein, the term "antibody" is used in the broadest sense and may include full-length monoclonal antibodies, multispecific antibodies (abbreviated as polyclonal antibodies), and chimeric antibodies. The specific structure is not limited as long as they exhibit the required biological activity. It generally includes a light chain with a relatively low molecular weight and a heavy chain with a relatively high molecular weight. The antibody molecule is formed by the heavy chain (H chain) and the light chain (L chain) linked by disulfide bonds. Among them, the amino-terminal (N-terminal) amino acid sequence of the peptide chain varies greatly and is called the variable region (V region); the carboxyl-terminal (C-terminal) is relatively stable and varies little, and is called the constant region (C region). The V regions of the L chain and the H chain are called VL and VH, respectively.

[0080] In this text, the heavy chain complementarity determining regions (CDRs of the heavy chain variable region) are denoted by "HCDRs" or "HCDR", which include HCDR1 (also known as CDR-H1), HCDR2 (also known as CDR-H2), and HCDR3 (also known as CDR-H3); the light chain complementarity determining regions (CDRs of the light chain variable region) are denoted by "LCDRs" or "LCDR", which include LCDR1 (also known as CDR-L1), LCDR2 (also known as CDR-L2), and LCDR3 (also known as CDR-L3). Commonly used CDR definition schemes in the art include: Kabat definition, Chothia definition, IMGT definition, Contact definition, and AbM definition.

[0081] However, the above-mentioned CDRs of the heavy chain variable region (amino acid sequences shown in SEQ ID NO: 1-3, or SEQ ID NO: 7-9) and the CDRs of the light chain variable region (amino acid sequences shown in SEQ ID NO: 4-6, or SEQ ID NO: 10-12) in this application are numbered and defined using the Kabat numbering system. A person of ordinary skill in the art can fully convert the CDR sequences of the heavy chain variable region and the light chain variable region obtained according to the Kabat numbering in this application into "HCDRs" and / or "LCDRs" under other numbering systems (including but not limited to IMGT, Kabat, Chothia, Contact). The CDRs determined according to other rules publicly available in the art based on the heavy chain variable region and the light chain variable region disclosed in this application also fall within the protection scope of this application.

[0082] As described herein, the "Kabat definition" refers to the definition system described by Kabat et al., U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services, "Sequence of Proteins of Immunological Interest" (1983). The "IMGT" definition refers to the definition system described by Lefranc et al., "Dev. Comp. Immunol.", 2003, 27: 55-77. For the "Chothia definition", see Chothia et al., J Mol Biol 196: 901-917 (1987). For the "Contact definition", see MacCallum et al., 1996, "Molecular Biology" 262: 732-745. The "AbM definition" refers to the CDRs defined by the "AbM" antibody modeling software of Oxford Molecular.

[0339] Balb / c mice were immunized multiple times with soluble recombinant human TL1A protein (Kaisi, FSF-HM415). The antigen protein was mixed with an immune adjuvant to form an immunogen reagent, which was then subcutaneously injected through the back of the mice.

In each subsequent booster immunization, each mouse was boosted with a solution of 50 μg of human TL1A protein emulsified with incomplete Freund's adjuvant (Sigma, F5506) at a volume ratio of 1:1. The interval between each booster immunization was at least 2-3 weeks. Three days before cell fusion, the last booster immunization was performed at a dose of 50 μg of human TL1A protein per mouse.

Prepare 10 mM glycine for sensor regeneration. Transfer the above-prepared solutions to a 96-well plate, and set the detection program according to the cycle sequence of baseline1 (equilibration), Loading (antibody binding), baseline2 (equilibration), Association (antigen binding), Dissociation (antigen dissociation), Regeneration (regeneration), and Neutralization (neutralization), so that each antibody can bind to human TL1A antigen at different concentrations. Finally, analyze the data using Octet Analysis Studio 12.2 software, and obtain the specific affinity data of each antibody for human TL1A protein by fitting the binding and dissociation curves; the smaller the KD value, the stronger the binding activity.

[0364] Example 5: Virtual affinity maturation of anti-TL1A monoclonal antibody

[0365] 1. Based on antibody C5A8A, use Discovery studio software to model the amino acid sequence of the variable region of the anti-TL1A monoclonal antibody. Use the antibody model and the crystal structure of human TL1A protein numbered 2RE9 in PDB as ligand and receptor respectively for molecular docking simulation to obtain a series of docking conformations; judge and screen the rationality of different docking conformations, select the conformations that match the experimental results, analyze the specific amino acid sites on the antibody that interact with the antigen for amino acid scanning mutations, and select the mutation with the largest binding free energy for recombinant expression to obtain the mutant antibody variants (i.e., antibodies PO16-C5AA and PO16-C5AE). The variable region sequences and CDR sequences of each antibody are shown in Table 4-1.

[0371] Example 6: Phage affinity maturation of anti-TL1A monoclonal antibody

[0372] Based on antibody C5A8A, Kabat annotation was performed on the heavy chain variable region of the anti-TL1A monoclonal antibody. Saturation mutagenesis libraries were constructed for heavy chain CDRH1, heavy chain CDRH2, and CDRH3 respectively, and the mutant libraries were packaged and expressed using M13K07 helper phage (NEB, N0315S); after blocking the two libraries respectively, biotinylated TL1A antigen was used for four rounds of screening. The antigen usage amount in the first round of panning was 200 ng, in the second round was 20 ng, in the third round was 1 ng, and in the fourth round was 0.1 ng. Binding was carried out at room temperature or overnight at 4°C; each time after the phage bound to the antigen, it was washed 15 times with PBST*NaCl and then 2 times with PBS to wash away non-specifically bound phages. Then, 500 μl of 100 mM Glycine-HCl (pH 2.2) was added to each library, and it was eluted by rotation at room temperature for 10 minutes. Then, 22 μL of 2 M TRIS-HCl (pH 9.1) was immediately added to elute and neutralize the phages specifically bound to the TL1A protein; finally, through sequencing, clones with aggregation were recombinantly expressed as whole antibodies in eukaryotes; Table 5 lists the variable region sequences and CDR sequences of the enriched monoclonal mutant clones obtained by screening.

[0375] Example 7: Detection of the affinity of anti-human TL1A humanized antibody for human TL1A protein using SPR

[0376] The affinity of different anti-human TL1A humanized antibodies was detected using Biacore T200:

[0377] First, the anti-human Fc antibody was immobilized on a CM5 chip (Cytiva, BR100530). Then, different anti-human TL1A humanized antibody samples (i.e., antibody C5A8A, PO16-C5AA, PO16-C5AB, PO16-C5AC, PO16-C5AD, PO16-C5AE, C5T5, C5T15, C5T18, C5T20, C5T28, C5T35) were diluted to a concentration of 2 μg / mL with 1X HBS-EP+ buffer, and 10 mM glycine (pH 1.5) was prepared for chip regeneration. The contact time between different antibodies and the chip immobilized with the anti-human Fc antibody was adjusted to make the response value of antibody binding to the chip reach 100 RU. After binding, the human TL1A protein (KaiKa, catalog number FSF-HM415) was diluted with 1X HBS-EP+ buffer, starting at a concentration of 100 nM, and gradient-diluted at a 3-fold concentration gradient for a total of 8 concentrations. The detection was performed in the cycle order of Capture (binding different anti-TL1A monoclonal antibodies to be tested), Contact (binding different concentrations of human TL1A protein), Dissociation (dissociating the protein), and Regeneration. After the program finished running, the data was analyzed using the Biacore T200 Evaluation Software, and the specific affinity data of each antibody for the human TL1A protein was obtained by fitting the binding and dissociation curves. The smaller the KD value, the stronger the binding activity. The results are shown in Table 6.

[0406] Example 11: Study on the hydrophilicity of anti-TL1A monoclonal antibody

[0407] The anti-TL1A monoclonal antibodies (the antibodies obtained in Examples 5, 6 and 9) were diluted with mobile phase A (1.8 M ammonium sulfate + 0.1 M sodium dihydrogen phosphate solution, pH 6.5) to a final test solution containing 1.0 M ammonium sulfate, with mobile phase A (1.8 M ammonium sulfate + 0.1 M sodium dihydrogen phosphate solution, pH 6.5) and mobile phase B (0.1 M sodium dihydrogen phosphate solution, pH 6.5) as mobile phases, chromatographic column (manufacturer: Saifen Technology, model: Protemix HIC Butyl-NP5 4.6*10mm, 5μm), wavelength 214nm, flow rate 1.0mL / min, injection volume 5μg, column temperature 25°C, sample chamber temperature 8°C.

[0410] Example 12: Solubility Study of Anti-TL1A Monoclonal Antibody

[0411] Perform a rapid concentration test on the anti-TL1A monoclonal antibody to detect its solubility:

[0412] First, change the solution of 50 mg of the sample to be tested (each antibody obtained in Examples 5, 6, and 9, and the control antibody RVT-3101) to 20 mM His-HCl solvent, and then transfer it to an ultrafiltration concentration tube for centrifugation multiple times.

[0414] Use human TL1A (KaiKa, FSF-HM415) and IL12 / 18 (Acro, IL2-H4210 / IL8-H5113) to co-stimulate human PBMC (MaiShun, PB050C), and at the same time add different anti-TL1A antibodies or their variants (each antibody obtained in Examples 5, 6, and 9, and the control antibodies TEV-48574, RVT-3101, and PRA023) to block the production of IFN-γ. Detect the ability of different antibodies to block the production of IFN-γ by Human IFN-γ ELISA Kit (Elabscience, E-EL-H0108).

[0415] First, resuscitate the cryopreserved PMBC, and the cell density is 1.05*10 6cells / ml, add human IL-12 at a final concentration of 2 ng / ml, human IL-18 at 100 μg / ml and human TL1A protein at a final concentration of 100 ng / ml to the cells. Add 190 μl of the above suspension to each well, and then add 10 μl of anti-TL1A antibodies at different concentrations (the antibodies obtained in Example 5, Example 6, and Example 9, as well as the control antibodies TEV-48574, RVT-3101, and PRA023), so that the final concentration of the antibody in each well decreases 3-fold from an initial concentration of 200 nM to 0.09 nM. There are a total of 8 inhibitory concentrations for each antibody. Finally, calculate the IFN-γ concentration in each well according to the standard curve of the kit, and use the software GraphPad Prism 8.0 for data processing and plotting analysis. Through four-parameter nonlinear fitting, obtain the binding curve and IC 50 values and other parameters; the smaller the IC 50 value, the stronger the blocking activity. It was found that the antibodies of the present application can all block the coordinated stimulation of human TL1A and IL12 / 18 on human PBMC to produce IFN-γ. The results of some exemplary antibodies of the present application are shown in Table 13 and Figure 4 .
