Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of biological medicine activity detection, in particular to a method for detecting the biological activity of anti-IL-11 monoclonal antibody. BACKGROUND

[0002] Interleukin-11 (IL-11) is a pleiotropic cytokine produced by a variety of cell types, mainly from white blood cells, fibroblasts and epithelial cells. The factor is composed of 199 amino acids, with a molecular weight of about 20 KDa. The corresponding genomic sequence is 7 kb, including 5 coding exons, located on chromosome 19q13.3-19q13.4. IL-11 belongs to the interleukin 6 family, has anti-apoptotic, anti-inflammatory and hematopoietic potential and other biological activities. The various activities of IL-11 are mediated by its cell surface receptor complex, and the IL-11 receptor complex is formed through three independent events: first, IL-11 binds to the membrane-specific receptor alpha (IL-11RA) with low affinity; second, IL-11 / IL-11RA heterodimer binds to receptor gp130 with high affinity to form a heterotrimer; finally, the heterotrimer binds to form a hexamer complex, activates the Janus kinase / signal transduction and transcriptional activator (JAK / STAT) pathway, the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway and the mToR / PI3K pathway, and stimulates the transformation of lung fibroblasts into fibroblasts through an extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)-dependent post-transcriptional manner, and promotes organ fibrosis. Therefore, inhibiting the production of IL-11 as a new treatment strategy for treating fibrotic diseases.

[0003] Studies have shown that anti-IL-11 monoclonal antibody can significantly reduce the collagen fiber content of fibroblasts cultured in vitro by blocking the activation of downstream signaling pathways through binding to IL-11, and reduce the fibrosis area of fibrosis model mice. Therefore, anti-IL-11 monoclonal antibody drugs have great potential as new anti-fibrosis drugs. In the research of anti-IL-11 monoclonal antibody, the biological activity detection method of anti-IL-11 monoclonal antibody to IL-11RA and IL-11 binding signaling pathway is very important, which is related to the therapeutic efficacy of anti-IL-11 monoclonal antibody, and is an important indicator of the effectiveness of anti-IL-11 monoclonal antibody product.

[0074] The present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the following examples.

[0075] Example 1

[0076] The present application provides a method for detecting the biological activity of an anti-IL-11 monoclonal antibody, which comprises the following steps:

[0077] A stable passaged cell line BAF / 3-GP130-STAT3-Luc is constructed; an IL-11 / IL-11RA complex is used to stimulate the expression of a reporter gene in the cell line BAF / 3-GP130-STAT3-Luc; a gradient-diluted anti-IL-11 monoclonal antibody is added to the cell line BAF / 3-GP130-STAT3-Luc for incubation; a chromogenic substrate is added, and the reporter gene signal value is determined; according to the concentration of the anti-IL-11 monoclonal antibody and the reporter gene signal value, a four-parameter curve is fitted, i.e. the biological activity of the anti-IL-11 monoclonal antibody is detected.

[0078] The anti-IL-11 monoclonal antibody comprises three heavy chain complementarity determining regions represented by HCDR1, HCDR2 and HCDR3, respectively, and three light chain complementarity determining regions represented by LCDR1, LCDR2 and LCDR3, respectively, and the specific sequences are as follows

[0079]

[0080] The anti-IL-11 monoclonal antibody provided by the application is used for treating or preventing human fibrosis diseases, inflammation, cancer or autoimmune diseases, wherein the fibrosis diseases include but are not limited to fibrosis of heart, liver, kidney, lung, gallbladder, bladder, stomach, bone marrow, penis, breast, blood vessel, eye, pancreas, spleen, brain, intestinal tract, muscle or skin, etc.; the inflammation includes but is not limited to hepatitis, myocarditis, nephritis, pneumonia, cholecystitis, cystitis, gastritis, osteomyelitis, prostatitis, mastitis, pancreatitis, enteritis, arthritis, polymyositis, dermatomyositis or dermatitis, etc.; the cancer includes but is not limited to leukemia, lung cancer, gastric cancer, esophageal cancer, ovarian cancer, head and neck cancer, melanoma, renal cancer, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, liver cancer, pancreatic cancer or bladder cancer, etc.; and the autoimmune disease includes but is not limited to psoriasis, Crohn's disease, primary biliary cirrhosis, systemic lupus erythematosus or multiple sclerosis, etc.

[0081] Example 2: Screening of mouse-derived antibody molecules

[0082] The application optimizes the immunization method by immunizing mice with IL-11 antigen (the IL-11 protein, IL-11-Fc antigen and IL-11-mFc ligand protein in subsequent experiments are all human IL-11), and creates a phage display library. The construction and screening identification of the specific phage display library are as follows:

[0083] Step one: Immunize mice with IL-11 antigen

[0084] 1. Experimental animals: species and strain: BALB / c, female, mice; body weight: 18-20 g; provider of experimental animals: Beijing Huafukang Biotechnology Co., Ltd.

[0085] 2. Immunization: Immunize the mice, and the immunization antigen is human IL-11 antigen (synthetic gene by Nanjing Jinssw Biological Technology Co., Ltd., and the vector is constructed and expressed and purified by the company).

[0086] Step two: Construction of phage antibody library: Take the mouse spleen cells with high titer, use Trizol reagent (purchased from Ambion, item number: 15596026) to extract total RNA in mouse spleen cells, obtain cDNA by RT-PCR, use degenerate primers (the degenerate primers used are referred to in the literature: Journal of Immunological Methods 233 (2000) 167-177) for PCR amplification, thereby obtaining the immune mouse antibody heavy chain variable region gene library (VH) and light chain variable region gene library (VL). The pScFv-Disb-HS vector is a vector pComb3 vector (purchased from China Plasmid Vector Strain Cell Strain Gene Preservation Center) modified by a series of gene cloning methods for the construction and expression of phage single-chain antibody library. The modified vector is named pScFv-Disb-HS vector, and its plasmid map is shown in Figure 1 , and based on this vector, a mouse immune phage antibody library is constructed. The light and heavy chain variable region gene libraries are double-digested and ligated to the vector pScFv-Disb-HS which has also been treated by stepwise digestion, to construct the pScFv-Disb-HS-VH-VL gene library.

[0087] Step three: Coat the immunotube with IL-11 as the antigen, the antigen coating amount is 5 μg / 500 μL / tube, coat overnight at 4°C, then use 4% skim milk / PBST to block the immunotube and the immune phage antibody library, respectively, block at room temperature for 1 h. After blocking, the immune phage antibody library is added to the immunotube for antigen-antibody binding, the phage input amount is about 10 9 ~ 10 12 After reaction at room temperature for 1 h, use PBST-PBS to wash away the unbound phage, elute by 0.1 M pH 2.2 Glycine-HCl, and finally use 1.5 M pH 8.8 Tris-HCl to neutralize the eluted phage antibody solution to about pH 7.0.

[0088] Step four: Infect 10 ml of the TG1 bacterial liquid grown to the logarithmic phase with the neutralized phage described above, and incubate in a 37°C incubator for 30 min. Take part of the bacterial liquid for gradient dilution and spread on 2YTAG plates for calculation of phage output. Centrifuge the remaining bacterial liquid to discard the supernatant, resuspend the bacterial pellet in a small amount of culture medium, aspirate and spread on a 2YTAG large plate for preparation for the next round of screening.

[0089] Step five: the bacteria infected and plated as above were scraped from the large plate and inoculated into 2YTAG liquid medium, and after being shaken to the logarithmic phase, M13KO7 helper phage was superinfected, and the phage was prepared by culturing overnight at 28°C and 220 rpm. The phage was purified by PEG / NaCl precipitation for the next round of screening. One round of phage library enrichment screening was performed.

[0090] Step six: screening of IL-11 phage single-chain antibody positive clones: after one round of screening, single colonies with good separation were picked and inoculated into 2YTAG liquid medium added to a 96-well deep well plate. After being cultured at 37°C and 220 rpm until the logarithmic growth phase, about 10 10 μL of helper phage M13KO7 was added to each well, and the culture was incubated at 37°C for 30 min. After centrifugation at 4000 rpm for 15 min, the supernatant was discarded, and the bacteria were resuspended and precipitated with 2YTAK. The culture was incubated overnight at 28°C and 220 rpm. After centrifugation at 4000 rpm and 4°C for 15 min, the amplified phage supernatant was aspirated for ELISA identification. Four mouse antibody molecules with high affinity were finally screened, designated as MA-I, MA-II, MA-III, and MA-IV. The above obtained monoclonal antibodies were subjected to gene sequencing to determine the correct antibody sequence. After sequencing, the sequences of the four monoclonal antibodies screened above are as follows:

[0265] (1) Optimization of the final concentration of IL-11 antigen in the IL-11 / IL-11RA complex

[0266] First, the cell strain BAF / 3-GP130-STAT3-Luc is diluted to 8×10 4The cell strain BAF / 3-GP130-STAT3-Luc is added to the 96-well plate at a cell seeding density of 8×10 Figure 25 as shown.

[0267] Then, according to the above method, the cell strain BAF / 3-GP130-STAT3-Luc is added to the 96-well plate at a cell seeding density of 8×10 4 The anti-IL-11 monoclonal antibody HA-I-A is set to have an initial concentration of 500 μg / mL, and 10 concentration points are diluted at a gradient dilution ratio of 1:5. The IL-11 antigen is set to have two different final stimulation concentrations of 1 μg / mL and 0.4 μg / mL, and is diluted to 4 μg / mL and 0.16 μg / mL, respectively, and is then transferred to the above-mentioned cell plate. After incubation at 37°C in a 5% CO2 environment for 5 hours, the chemiluminescence value is detected by adding the Britelite Plus luciferase reagent kit (purchased from PerkinElmer Inc.), and a four-parameter curve of the inhibitory activity of the antibody under the action of different stimulation concentrations of the IL-11 antigen in the IL-11 / IL-11RA complex is drawn.

Therefore, the optimal stimulation concentration of the IL-11 antigen in the present application is preferably 0.4 μg / mL.

[0269] (2) IL-11 / IL-11RA complex concentration optimization

[0270] On the basis of the optimal final stimulation concentration of the IL-11 antigen of 0.4 μg / mL obtained above, in order to determine the final stimulation concentration ratio of the IL-11 antigen and the IL-11RA antigen in the IL-11 / IL-11RA complex, the final stimulation concentration ratio of the IL-11 antigen and the IL-11RA antigen is set to be 1:1, 2:1, 4:1, 8:1 and 16:1. The final stimulation concentration of the IL-11 is set to be 0.4 μg / mL and is diluted to 0.16 μg / mL. According to the final stimulation concentration ratio, the concentration of the IL-11RA antigen is set to be 0.16 μg / mL, 0.08 μg / mL, 0.04 μg / mL, 0.02 μg / mL and 0.01 μg / mL.

Finally, the initial working concentration of the anti-IL-11 monoclonal antibody HA-I-A was set to 500 μg / mL, which was diluted by the ratio of 1:5 to dilute 8 concentration points, and then transferred to the above-mentioned cell plate. After 5 hours of culture at 37°C in 5% CO2, the color developing substrate Britelite Plus luciferase kit was added to detect the chemiluminescence value, and a four-parameter curve was fitted according to the measured chemiluminescence value.

[0282] First, set the cell line BAF / 3-GP130-STAT3-Luc at 8×10⁻⁶. 4 Cells were seeded at a density of 10 cells / well into 96-well plates. Next, IL-11 / IL-11RA complex (i.e., IL-11 antigen at a final stimulation concentration of 0.4 μg / mL and IL-11RA antigen at a final stimulation concentration of 0.05 μg / mL, with a final stimulation concentration ratio of IL-11 antigen to IL-11RA antigen of 8:1) was added. Finally, the initial concentration of the anti-IL-11 monoclonal antibody HA-IA was set at 500 μg / mL, and it was serially diluted 1:5 in eight steps. The diluted antibody was then transferred to the cell plate. The cells were incubated at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator for 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 hours. After each incubation, the Britelite Plus luciferase kit was added, and the chemiluminescence value was measured. A four-parameter curve was then fitted based on the measured chemiluminescence values.

[0283] Test results as follows Figure 30 As shown, the RLU increases with the increase of incubation time. In order to ensure the signal-to-noise ratio while reducing the incubation time, the present invention preferably has an incubation time of 5 hours.

[0284] In summary, through the above-mentioned methodological optimization, the preferred IL-11 / IL-11RA complex of this invention consists of an optimal stimulation concentration of 0.4 μg / mL for IL-11 antigen and an optimal stimulation concentration of 0.05 μg / mL for IL-11RA antigen, with a final stimulation concentration ratio of 8:1 for IL-11 antigen and 8 × 10⁻⁶ cells for IL-11RA antigen. 4 The initial concentration of the anti-IL-11 monoclonal antibody HA-IA was selected as 500 μg / mL, and the serial dilution ratio was 1:5. Meanwhile, the incubation time was preferably 5 hours.

[0286] (1) Suitability verification: The method is for the biological activity of anti-IL-11 monoclonal antibody, for this reason, the experimental group selects anti-IL-11 monoclonal antibody HA-I-A provided by the application, and the control group uses monoclonal antibody drugs of different target points: Nivolumab (target point is PD-1) and Rituximab (target point is CD20). According to the test conditions determined in Example 36, the biological activity of the antibodies in the experimental group and the control group is detected by using the detection method provided in Example 25, and the reactivity of the cell strain BAF / 3-GP130-STAT3-Luc to the above antibodies is determined.

[0287] The results are shown in Figure 31 As the concentration of anti-IL-11 monoclonal antibody HA-I-A increases, the RLU value decreases, showing a good dose-effect curve, and the control group has no obvious effect, indicating that the detection method of the biological activity of the antibody provided by the application has good suitability.

[0288] (2) Relative accuracy verification: The specific method includes: using 500 μg / mL of anti-IL-11 monoclonal antibody HA-I-A as the reference for the accuracy verification of the method, preparing 5 samples with different initial concentration titers, which are 250 μg / mL, 375 μg / mL, 500 μg / mL, 625 μg / mL and 750 μg / mL, and the corresponding theoretical relative biological activity values are 50%, 75%, 100%, 125% and 150% respectively, and each titer level is detected according to the test conditions determined in Example 36 and the detection method provided in Example 25, four times by two people, a total of eight times. According to the experimental results, a four-parameter curve is fitted to obtain the IC50 value, and finally the relative biological activity and recovery rate of each of the 5 sample groups are calculated according to the following formula.

[0289] Relative biological activity (%) = reference IC50 / sample IC50 x 100%;

[0290] Recovery rate (%) = measured value of relative activity / theoretical value of relative activity x 100%;

[0291]

[0292] Through the above data, the relative bias is within 20%, and the recovery rate is between 80% and 120%, as shown in Figure 32 The measured relative biological activity of the 5 sample groups is fitted with the theoretical value, and the R 2 value is 0.9914, the linear fitting result is good, and the average value of the relative biological activity and the corresponding theoretical value have good consistency, indicating that the method established in the present study has good accuracy.

[0295]

[0296] As shown by the above data and Figure 33 , the variation coefficient (CV%) of the cells of different generations is 16.9%, which is less than 20%, indicating that the stability of the cells within 25 generations is good and can meet the needs of the application.
