Description

[0001] This application claims the priority of a Chinese patent application with the application number 202410018607.6 and the invention title "Recombinant Anti-FAP Antibody and Its Application" filed with the National Intellectual Property Administration on January 5, 2024, the entire content of which is incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0002] The present invention relates to the field of antibody drugs, and specifically to recombinant anti-FAP antibodies and their applications. Background Art

[0003] Malignant epithelial tumors are the main cancer-related diseases causing human death. These solid tumors often exhibit a significant stromal response, such as what is called "desmoplastic stroma" or "reactive stroma", which accounts for 20 - 60% of the total tumor mass and is characterized by the presence of a large number of stromal cells and a dense extracellular matrix (ECM). A highly consistent molecular feature of the reactive stroma of many types of epithelial cancers is the induction of fibroblast activation protein α (hereinafter referred to as FAP). Specifically, a considerable number of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are often observed in the tumor-associated stroma of various human cancers including breast cancer, lung cancer, colon cancer, and pancreatic cancer.

[0004] FAPα is a cell surface molecule of reactive stromal fibroblasts initially identified by the monoclonal antibody F19. It is a cell surface glycoprotein of reactive stromal fibroblasts and can serve as a potential antibody target in human epithelial cancers. In many types of human cancers, the fibroblast response is characterized by the induction of a cell surface protein, namely fibroblast activation protein α (FAPα), which is a 95 kDa serine protease whose expression is highly restricted to developing organs, wound healing, and tissue remodeling.

[0005] FAP exhibits the following characteristics:

[0006] 1) A type II membrane glycoprotein with serine protease activity

[0007] 2) 89% human-mouse protein homology, 99% human-monkey protein homology

[0008] 3) The tumor stroma is expressed in >90% of cancers (breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, lung cancer, bladder cancer, and colon cancer)

[0009] 4) Transient and highly restricted expression in normal adult tissues during wound healing and in developing organs

[0010] 5) Having a relatively fast internalization ability

[0011] 6) Involved in extracellular matrix remodeling, tumor growth, and metastasis.

[0012] In concert with distinct components of the stroma, CAFs can promote neo-angiogenesis and tumor growth; it has also been shown that CAFs are crucial for the development of aggressive tumors and tumor invasiveness during cancer progression; CAFs promote the spread and infiltration of tumor cells in distant organs, thereby contributing to the formation of metastases. Importantly, the correlation of stromal cells with the failure of systemic drug delivery to tumors and the emergence of drug resistance has also been indicated.

[0013] The identification of cellular and molecular targets that abrogate stroma-tumor cell interactions and thereby attenuate tumorigenesis is currently a major theme in translational oncology. Indeed, targeting the tumor stroma is a novel strategy for treating metastatic tumors that account for more than 90% of cancer patient mortality: to date, only a few products have received therapeutic approval, and most of them are anti-angiogenic drugs. The identification and targeting of other novel molecules within the tumor microenvironment are necessary to increase the efficacy of conventional therapies in combination with stroma-based treatment approaches and represent a promising approach for the treatment of cancer and metastases.

[0014] To alter the non-human immunogenicity of the monoclonal antibody F19 (from hybridoma cell line ATCC accession number HB 8269), the antibody F19 was humanized to sibrotuzumab (BIBH1), a humanized antibody that specifically binds FAP and is described in WO 99 / 57151. A phase I clinical study of BIBH1, i.e., I31 radiolabeled anti-FAP monoclonal antibody, demonstrated good safety and tolerability (Scott et al., 2001; Hofheinz et al., 2003), but in a phase II clinical study in patients with advanced metastatic colorectal cancer, most patients showed persistent tumor progression, and the study was aborted due to failure to meet the minimum requirements.

[0015] Boehringer-Ingelheim has developed anti-FAP MAb derivatives against both human and murine FAP proteins (US

[0016] 2009 / 0304718A1). They showed specific binding to FAP+ cells and were internalized in vitro. In pancreatic and lung cancer xenograft models, treatment with the murine MAb MFP5-DM1 immunotoxin induced long-lasting inhibition of tumor growth and complete regression without any associated effects of intolerance.

[0017] The anti-FAP antibody hu36 developed by ONCOMATRYX BIOPHARMA exhibits high specific binding and rapid internalization. In addition, the inventors isolated the A chain of nigrin b, which is produced in bacterial host cells, and conjugated it to the anti-FAP antibody for tumor treatment. It showed an effect of inhibiting tumor growth in various in vitro tumor models.

[0018] Despite these advancements, there remains an unmet need for other treatment strategies for treating, including epithelial tumors, and for components used in such treatment strategies. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0446]

[0447] 2. Experimental procedure:

[0448] 1) Cell collection and seeding

[0449] a) Harvest cells in the logarithmic growth phase to ensure that the cell viability is above 90%.

[0450] b) Centrifuge at 1000 r / min for 5 min, then discard the supernatant;

[0451] c) Wash the cells once with PBS;

[0452] d) Resuspend the cells with FACS Buffer (i.e., 1% BSA, DPBS) and count them;

[0453] e) Prepare a cell suspension with a density of 2×10 6 cells / mL using FACS Buffer;

[0454] f) Add 50 μL of the cell suspension to each well of a 96-well plate;

[0455] 2) Antibody Incubation and Detection

[0456] a) Add 50 μL of test samples at different concentrations to the experimental group. The sample concentration starts from 20 μg / ml and is serially diluted 3-fold with multiple gradient points;

[0457] b) After mixing, incubate overnight at 4°C in the dark;

[0465] Data Analysis: Using the overexpressing cell line CHO-hFAP cells and the native expressing cell line U138MG cells, through in vitro cell biology combined with FACS testing, it can be concluded from the data that the three control antibodies have binding signals with both cell lines. Among them, the binding signals of BIBH1 and cMFP5 are relatively high, and the binding signal of hu36 is slightly lower, as Figure 1a 、 Figure 1b shown:

[0466] Table 9 EC50 and fluorescence values of the control antibody flow cytometry binding experiment

[0467]

[0468] Preparation Example

[0469] 1. Generation of rabbit anti-human FAP monoclonal antibody (this work was entrusted to Shanghai Dinocean Biotech Co., Ltd. for development)

[0470] 1). Animal immunization

[0471] In order to obtain rabbit monoclonal antibodies that recognize human FAP antigen, the present invention selects New Zealand white rabbits for immunization. For the first immunization, 200 μg of human FAP-hFc protein (purchased from Acro Biosystems, product number FAP-H5263) was used. At the first immunization, Freund's complete adjuvant and an equal volume of antigen were mixed and emulsified, and then injected intradermally at multiple points on the back for immunization. After a two-week interval, booster immunization was carried out. The antigen dosage for booster immunization was 100 μg. Freund's incomplete adjuvant and an equal volume of antigen were mixed and emulsified, and then injected intradermally at multiple points on the back for immunization. Booster immunization was carried out once every two weeks. After five immunizations, the titer of the immune serum was detected by the conventional Elisa method. Rabbits with high titers were selected and given a boost injection of 50 μg of protein intraperitoneally three days before antibody screening. No adjuvant emulsification was required for this antigen, and the buffer was PBS. Three days later, the spleen was taken.

[0472] 2). Isolation of spleen cells

[0473] The rabbit spleen was surgically removed and placed in a sterile cell culture dish. The spleen was rinsed with DPBS containing 100 U / ml penicillin and 100 μg / ml streptomycin. The spleen was minced with surgical scissors and gently ground into single cells with a syringe plunger. Finally, the cell suspension was filtered through a 100 μm cell sieve, and the single cell filtrate was collected. Centrifuged at 1200 rpm for 3 minutes, the supernatant was discarded, and the cells were resuspended with RPMI-1640 containing 5% fetal bovine serum.

[0474] 3). B cell culture and identification

[0475] Biotin-labeled FAP protein was co-incubated with successfully immunized rabbit lymphocytes to sort out rabbit memory B cells. In a 96-well cell culture plate, the cells were cultured using B cell medium at 37 °C and 5% CO2. After 10-14 days of culture, the binding activity of the clone supernatant was detected at the protein level by ELISA. Clones with a binding activity greater than 5 times the background were determined to be positive. The supernatant of ELISA-positive clones was detected by FACS for its binding to stably transfected cells CHO-hFAP and CHO-mFAP, and finally FACS-positive monoclonal clones were selected.

[0476] 4). Cloning of the gene encoding the rabbit monoclonal antibody

[0477] Collect B cell positive clones, select some positive clones, extract total RNA using RNAiso Plus and reverse transcribe it into cDNA. By PCR method, amplify the light chain variable region and heavy chain variable region sequences, and construct them onto the PTT5 expression vector containing the corresponding heavy chain constant region and light chain constant region for sequencing to obtain the correct sequence. Analyze the sequencing results using VBASE2 (http: / / www.vbase2.org / vbscAb.php) to obtain the light and heavy chain variable region sequences of the antibody.

[0478] 2. Preparation of anti-human FAP chimeric antibody

[0479] Ligate the heavy chain variable region sequence of the rabbit anti-human FAP monoclonal antibody with the heavy chain constant region sequence of the publicly available human monoclonal antibody IgG1 subclass and construct it into a mammalian cell expression vector; ligate the light chain variable region sequence of the rabbit anti-human FAP monoclonal antibody with the light chain constant region sequence of the publicly available human monoclonal antibody κ subclass and construct it into a mammalian cell expression vector. Mix the constructed heavy chain vector and light chain vector of the anti-human FAP chimeric antibody in pairs, transfect HEK293 cells using polyethyleneimine (PEI), collect the cell supernatant about 7 days later, and purify to obtain the anti-human FAP chimeric antibody protein using Mabselect.

[0480] Example 1 In vitro cell binding experiment of anti-human FAP chimeric antibody

[0481] Perform 4-fold serial dilution of the anti-human FAP chimeric antibody starting from an initial concentration of 20 μg / mL, with a total of 8 concentration points. Take 50 μL of the antibody at each concentration point and add it to a 96-well plate. Centrifuge the HT1080-hFAP cells with low surface expression of human FAP at 100 g for 5 minutes at room temperature, wash the cells once with PBS containing 0.5% BSA, centrifuge at 100 g for 5 minutes at room temperature, and resuspend the cells to a density of approximately 2×10 6 cells per milliliter. Take 50 μL and add it to the wells of the 96-well plate already containing the antibody. Incubate at 4°C for 1 hour, then add the APC-fluorescently labeled goat anti-human IgG secondary antibody. Continue to incubate at 4°C for 1 hour, and then analyze the average fluorescence reading of the cell population using a flow cytometer. Use prism software to perform a 4-parameter fitting curve, as Figure 2a 、 Figure 2b 。

[0482] Result analysis: Through in vitro cell biology binding tests with HT1080-hFAP cells expressing human FAP, several chimeric antibodies were obtained that were superior to the control hu36 in terms of both the EC50 and the top value of the fluorescence intensity MFI.

[0485] Example 2 In vitro binding affinity and kinetics experiments of anti-human FAP chimeric antibodies

[0486] Using a Fortebio (BLITZ pro1.1.0.28) instrument, the antibody affinity was measured by the anti-human antibody capture method. During the measurement, the capture antibody (AHC) biosensor for the Fc segment of the anti-human antibody (purchased from SARTORIUS, product number 18-5060) was immersed in PBS for 10 min; 200 μl of the diluted antibody sample (including the chimeric antibody of the present invention and the control antibody; the working concentration of the antibody was 15 μg / mL) was loaded onto the AHC biosensor, and then equilibrated in PBS for 100 s. Further, the AHC biosensor was subjected to a binding reaction with human FAP protein and mouse FAP protein (purchased from ACRO biosystem) for 600 s. After that, the AHC biosensor was transferred to PBS for a dissociation reaction for 600 s. After the experiment, the blank control response value was deducted, and the software was used for 1:1 Langmuir binding mode fitting to calculate the kinetic constants of antigen-antibody binding.

[0487] Result analysis: Through the analysis of the in vitro kinetic binding activity, the binding kinetic constant of the chimeric antibody with recombinant human FAP protein was at the level of 10 -10 to 10 -12 level. In contrast, the binding kinetic constant of the reference antibody hu36 was at the level of 10 -9 level; the binding kinetic constant of the chimeric antibody with recombinant mouse FAP protein was at the level of 10 -9 to 10 -12 level. In contrast, the binding kinetic constant of the reference antibody hu36 was at the level of 10 -9 level. Each chimeric antibody had good kinetic binding signals with hFAP and mFAP.

[0493] Example 3 Intracellular endocytosis experiment of anti-human FAP chimeric antibody

[0494] Method steps: First, prepare HT1080-hFAP cells, digest and count them using a non-trypsin digestion solution (brand GIBCO, catalog number 13151014), resuspend them using a cell culture medium (brand GIBCO, catalog number 22400097), and adjust the cell density to 2E6 / mL; Resuspend the endocytosis reagent (purchased from Sartorius, catalog number 90565) with sterile water to a final concentration of 100 μg / mL; The molecular weight of the endocytosis reagent is approximately 1 / 3 of the antibody molecular weight. Therefore, when incubating the reagent and antibody at the same mass ratio during labeling, the molar ratio is 3:1. Dilute both the antibody and the endocytosis reagent to 2 μg / mL at a mass ratio of 1:1 using a cell culture medium (brand GIBCO, catalog number 22400097), and incubate and label them in a 37 °C incubator for 15 minutes; Dilute the labeled antibody reagent label in a 2-fold gradient for 7 points; Add the diluted antibody reagent label to the prepared cells, and place them in a 37 °C incubator for endocytosis for two hours; Take out the culture plate, directly use a flow analyzer to analyze and read the fluorescence and endocytosis percentage in the RL-1 channel, and fit the obtained %gate with a curve by the four-parameter method using prism software, as Figure 3a 、 Figure 3b shown.

[0495] Data analysis: Use the low-expression cell line HT1080-hFAP cells to test the endocytosis activity of the anti-human FAP chimeric antibody. According to the results, it can be seen that the chimeric antibodies chrX1, chrX6, chrX9, as well as chrA7 and chrA12, can all be endocytosed relatively quickly, equivalent to or better than the control antibody hu36.

[0498] Example 4 Humanization of a rabbit-derived anti-human FAP antibody

[0499] Based on the antibody coding schemes of Kabat and Chothia, the amino acid sequence regions of six antigen - complementary determining regions (CDRs) of the heavy and light chains of rabbit - derived antibodies and the framework regions that support the conserved three - dimensional conformation of the antibody were determined. Subsequently, by analyzing and searching known human antibody sequences, the human heavy - chain variable - region sequence most similar to the rabbit - derived antibody was selected, such as IGHV1|IGHJ4*01, and its antibody framework - region sequence was used as a template. The rabbit - derived heavy - chain CDRs were combined with the human antibody framework region to finally generate the humanized heavy - chain variable - region sequence. Through the same process, the humanized light - chain variable - region sequence was generated. When the CDRs of rabbit - derived antibodies are directly transplanted into the human framework region, the binding activity of the antibody often drops sharply. Therefore, individual amino acids in the framework region need to be changed back from human to rabbit - derived. To determine the sites of back - mutation, first, compare the designed humanized antibody sequence with the original rabbit - derived antibody sequence to check which amino acids are different; second, check whether these amino acids play an important role in supporting the antibody structure or in binding to the antigen. At the same time, when checking the sequence after humanization design, it is necessary to check whether there are some potential post - translational modification sites, such as N (asparagine) glycosylation sites, N - deamidation sites, D (aspartic acid) isomerization sites, etc.

[0500] The humanized antibody variable - region heavy - chain gene was constructed into a mammalian - cell expression vector containing the heavy - chain constant - region gene of the human monoclonal antibody IgG1 subclass; the light - chain gene was constructed into a mammalian - cell expression vector containing the light - chain constant - region gene of the human monoclonal antibody κ subclass. The constructed heavy - chain vector and light - chain vector of the anti - human FAP humanized antibody were paired and mixed, and HEK293 cells were transfected using polyethyleneimine (PEI). About 7 days later, the cell supernatant was collected, and the anti - human FAP humanized antibody protein was purified using Mabselect.

[0501] Example 5 In vitro binding affinity and kinetics experiments of the anti - human FAP humanized antibody

[0502] The antibody affinity was determined by the anti-human antibody capture method using the Fortebio (BLITZ pro1.1.0.28) instrument. During the determination, the capture antibody (AHC) bioprobe of the anti-human antibody Fc segment (purchased from SARTORIUS, item number 18-5060) was soaked in PBS for 10 min; 200 μl of the diluted antibody sample (including the chimeric antibody of the present invention and the control antibody; the antibody working concentration was 15 μg / mL) was loaded onto the AHC bioprobe, and then equilibrated in PBS for 100 s, and the AHC probe was further combined with a series of gradients of human FAP protein, monkey FAP protein and mouse FAP protein (purchased from ACRO biosystem, item number FAP-M52H3) for 600 s. After that, the AHC probe was transferred to PBS for a dissociation reaction for 600 s. After the experiment was completed, the blank control response value was deducted, and the 1:1 Langmuir binding mode fitting was performed using the software, the kinetic constants of antigen-antibody binding were calculated, and the curve processing and fitting were performed using the instrument's own software.

[0503] Data analysis: After in vitro kinetic binding activity analysis, the binding kinetic constants of anti-human FAP humanized antibody to recombinant human FAP protein, recombinant mouse FAP protein and recombinant monkey FAP protein were all maintained at 10 -12 In contrast, the binding kinetic constants of the benchmark antibody hu36 to human, mouse, and monkey FAP proteins were between 10 -10 Up to 10 -12 Each humanized antibody has a good kinetic binding signal.

[0510] Example 6 In vitro cell binding experiment of anti-human FAP humanized antibody

[0511] The anti-human FAP humanized antibody was serially diluted 4-fold starting from an initial concentration of 20 μg / mL, with a total of 8 concentration points. 50 μL of the antibody at each concentration point was added to a 96-well plate. HT1080-hFAP cells with low surface expression of human FAP, 293-cynoFAP cells with high expression of cynomolgus FAP, and CT26-mFAP cells overexpressing murine FAP were collected by centrifugation at 100 g for 5 minutes at room temperature. The cells were washed once with PBS containing 0.5% BSA, centrifuged at 100 g for 5 minutes at room temperature, and resuspended to a density of approximately 2 x 10^6 cells per milliliter. 50 μL of the cell suspension was added to the wells of the 96-well plate containing the antibody. After incubation at 4°C for 1 hour, APC-conjugated goat anti-human IgG secondary antibody was added. After continued incubation at 4°C for 1 hour, the mean fluorescence readings of the cell population were analyzed using a flow cytometer. Prism software was used to perform a four-parameter fitting curve and calculate the EC50 and the top value of the fluorescence intensity, as Figure 4a and Figure 4b 、 Figure 4c shown.

[0512] Data analysis: In vitro cell binding assays were performed with the humanized antibody against low-expressing hFAP cells (HT1080-hFAP cells), overexpressing mFAP cells (CT26-mFAP cells), and CHO-cynoFAP cells overexpressing cynoFAP protein. The results showed that most of the humanized molecules with different heavy and light chain combinations could maintain the binding ability to HT1080-hFAP cells, CT26-mFAP cells, and CHO-cynoFAP cells, and the binding signal was not lower than the signal value of the reference antibody hu36 at high concentrations.

[0516] The anti-human FAP affinity-matured combinatorial molecular antibody was serially diluted 4-fold starting from a concentration of 20 μg / mL for 4 gradients. 50 μL of the diluted antibody was added to a 96-well plate. CHO-hDPP4 cells overexpressing human DPP4 on the cell surface, Chinese hamster ovary cells CHOK1, and human embryonic kidney cells HEK293 were collected by centrifugation at 100 g for 5 minutes at room temperature. The cells were washed once with PBS containing 0.5% BSA, centrifuged at 100 g for 5 minutes at room temperature, and resuspended to a density of approximately 2 x 10^6 cells per milliliter. 50 μL of the cell suspension was added to the wells of the 96-well plate containing the antibody. After incubation at 4°C for 1 hour, APC-conjugated goat anti-human IgG secondary antibody was added. After continued incubation at 4°C for 1 hour, the mean fluorescence readings of the cell population were analyzed using a flow cytometer, and a histogram was presented using Prism software, as shown in Figure 5a and 5b 5c.

[0517] Data analysis: A non-specific binding experiment of the anti-human FAP humanized antibody was carried out with the cell line CHO-hDPP4 expressing the same family protein DPP4 and the commonly used protein-expressing cell lines Chinese hamster ovary cells CHOK1 and human embryonic kidney cells HEK293. The results showed that there was no non-specific binding signal between each anti-human FAP humanized antibody molecule and the same family protein or the empty cells used for expression.

[0524] For the in vitro killing experiment, two low-expression cell lines, HT1080-hFAP and 293-hFAP, were used. The cells were digested and counted, and the cell density was adjusted to 5E4 / mL using the corresponding culture medium (RPMI1640 medium for HT1080-hFAP cells and DMEM medium for 293-hFAP cells), and 50 μl / well was plated in a 96-well white plate; the small molecule toxin coupling reagent 20ADCαHFc-CL-MMAE (purchased from moradec, product number AH-102AE-50) was diluted to 2 μg / mL using the corresponding cell culture medium; the humanized antibody was diluted to 0.4 μg / mL using the diluted small molecule toxin coupling reagent, and then serially diluted 3-fold to set 10 gradients; 50 μl / well of the diluted series of antibodies was added to the white plate seeded with cells; it was placed in an incubator at 37 °C for 4 days; CellTiter-Glo (purchased from promega, product number G7573) was prepared according to the reagent instruction manual, and 100 μl / well was added to the cell plate. After shaking and mixing for 5 minutes, the chemiluminescence was read using a microplate reader; the killing curve was fitted with four parameters using prism software, as Figure 7a - 7f .

[0525] Data analysis: The in vitro killing experiment was carried out using the low-expression cell line HT1080-hFAP and the over-expression cell line 293-hFAP. The results showed that each anti-human FAP humanized antibody molecule had in vitro cell killing activity, and among them, H29L12, H32L12, and H33L12 had better killing activity, similar to the control antibody hu36.
