Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure provides bispecific antibodies and antibody-drug conjugates targeting B7-H3 and PSMA, and their use for treating tumors. BACKGROUND
[0002] Prostate cancer is a common malignant tumor in men, which often occurs in men over 60 years old. Globally, the prevalence of prostate cancer ranks second among male malignant tumors, with about 1.4 million new cases each year. Most patients with advanced prostate cancer will progress to metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), and these patients have limited treatment options, especially after new endocrine therapy and chemotherapy.
[0003] B7-H3 (CD276) is an immune checkpoint molecule, which is one of the members of the B7 family. It is expressed on a variety of immune cells, including dendritic cells, macrophages, T cells and B cells, etc. (Nature immunology, 2001, 2(3): 269-274.). In normal cells, the expression level of B7-H3 is usually low, but it is highly expressed in a variety of types of cancer cells, including prostate cancer, breast cancer, gastric cancer, lung cancer, liver cancer, cervical cancer and many other tumors. In addition to high expression on cancer cells, B7-H3 is also highly expressed on stromal fibroblasts and tumor-associated vessels (TAV) in the tumor microenvironment (Cancer cell, 2017, 31(4): 501-515.e8; Clinical cancer research, 2012, 18(14): 3834-3845).
[0004] PSMA (Prostate-specific membrane antigen) is a type II transmembrane protein specifically expressed in normal prostate secretory epithelium, but upregulated in prostate cancer. PSMA is a non-secreting membrane enzyme with carboxypeptidase and folic acid hydrolase activities. It acts on glutamate receptors and activates the Pi3K and Akt growth pathways, playing a carcinogenic signaling role in prostate cancer cells (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2005, 102(17):5981-5986). The expression level of PSMA in prostate cancer patients is closely related to the severity of the disease, making it an ideal diagnostic and therapeutic target for prostate cancer. Over the past decade, numerous therapies targeting PSMA have been developed, and clinical studies have demonstrated the tolerability and efficacy of PSMA-targeted radioligand therapy (PRLT). Pluvicto, a PSMA-targeting radiopharmaceutical, has significantly improved survival in PSMA-positive mCRPC patients (New England Journal of Medicine, 2021, 385(12):1091-1103). However, radiopharmaceuticals are expensive and poorly accessible. New treatment strategies are urgently needed for PSMA-negative patients and some patients who cannot receive Pluvicto.
[0005] There is a huge unmet clinical need for the treatment of prostate cancer. Currently, there are no antibody drugs targeting B7-H3 or PSMA on the market. Therefore, it is necessary to develop more drugs targeting B7-H3 and / or PSMA to meet clinical needs. Summary of the Invention
[0006] This disclosure provides antibodies that specifically bind to B7-H3, bispecific antibodies against B7-H3 and PSMA, and B7-H3×PSMA bispecific antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) molecules. The B7-H3×PSMA bispecific antibody-drug conjugate (BsADC) consists of two parts: a bispecific antibody capable of simultaneously binding to both B7-H3 and PSMA proteins, and a cytotoxic drug linked to the bispecific antibody. The mechanism of action of the B7-H3×PSMA BsADC is primarily through the binding of the bispecific antibody to cancer cells overexpressing B7-H3 and / or PSMA, followed by the release of the cytotoxic drug to kill the cancer cells. This mechanism allows the B7-H3×PSMA BsADC to precisely deliver the cytotoxic drug to cancer cells, thereby improving therapeutic efficacy and specificity while reducing toxicity to normal cells. B7-H3 and PSMA are both highly expressed targets in prostate cancer. Bispecific antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) targeting both B7-H3 and PSMA can cover the vast majority of mCRPC patients, improve tumor targeting, and increase efficacy, potentially providing a new treatment strategy for mCRPC patients. This leads to the following aspects.

If these compounds have a basic center, they can form acid addition salts; if these compounds have an acidic center, they can form base addition salts; if these compounds contain both an acidic center (e.g., a carboxyl group) and a basic center (e.g., an amino group), they can also form internal salts.
[0367] Depending on their molecular structure, the compounds of the present invention can be chiral, and therefore may exist in various enantiomeric forms. Thus, these compounds can exist in racemic or optically active forms. The compounds of the present invention encompass isomers of each chiral carbon in the R or S configuration, or mixtures thereof, and racemates. The compounds of the present invention or their intermediates can be isolated as enantiomeric compounds by chemical or physical methods known to those skilled in the art, or used in this form for synthesis. In the case of racemic amines, diastereomers are obtained from the mixture by reaction with an optically active resolving agent. Examples of suitable resolving agents are optically active acids, such as tartaric acid in both R and S forms, diacetyltartaric acid, dibenzoyltartaric acid, mandelic acid, malic acid, lactic acid, suitable N-protected amino acids (e.g., N-benzoylproline or N-benzenesulfonylproline), or various optically active camphorsulfonic acids. Chromatographic enantiomeric separation can also be advantageously performed using optically active resolving agents (e.g., dinitrobenzoylphenylglycine immobilized on silica gel, cellulose triacetate or other carbohydrate derivatives, or chiral derivatized isobutylene ester polymers). Suitable eluents for this purpose are aqueous or alcoholic solvent mixtures, such as hexane / isopropanol / acetonitrile.
[0368] Wavy lines intersecting chemical bonds Used to indicate the connection position of a group with other atoms or groups in a general formula.
[0369] As used herein, the term "antibody" refers to an immunoglobulin-derived molecule capable of specifically binding to a target antigen via at least one antigen-binding site located in its variable region. When referring to the term "antibody," unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, it includes not only the complete antibody but also antigen-binding fragments capable of specifically binding to a target antigen.
[0370] A "complete antibody" typically consists of two pairs of polypeptide chains (each pair containing one light chain (LC) and one heavy chain (HC)). Antibody light chains can be classified as κ (kappa) and λ (lambda) light chains. Heavy chains can be classified as μ, δ, γ, α, or ε, and antibody isotypes are defined as IgM, IgD, IgG, IgA, and IgE, respectively. Within both light and heavy chains, variable and constant regions are linked by a "J" region of approximately 12 or more amino acids, and the heavy chain also contains a "D" region of approximately 3 or more amino acids. Each heavy chain consists of a heavy chain variable region (VH) and a heavy chain constant region (CH). The heavy chain constant region consists of three domains (CH1, CH2, and CH3). Each light chain consists of a light chain variable region (VL) and a light chain constant region (CL). The light chain constant region consists of one domain, CL. Constant domains do not directly participate in antibody-antigen binding, but exhibit various effector functions, such as mediating the binding of immunoglobulins to host tissues or factors, including various cells of the immune system (e.g., effector cells) and the first component (C1q) of the classical complement system. The VH and VL regions can be further subdivided into highly degenerated regions (called complementarity-determining regions (CDRs)), interspersed with more conserved regions called framework regions (FRs). H and V L It consists of three CDRs and four FRs arranged in the following order: FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, FR4, from the amino terminus to the carboxyl terminus. The variable regions (VH and VL) of each heavy / light chain pair form the antigen-binding sites. The allocation of amino acids in each region or domain can follow the definitions in Kabat, Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md. (1987 and 1991)), or Chothia & Lesk (1987) J. Mol. Biol. 196:901-917; Chothia et al. (1989) Nature 342:878-883.
[0371] As used herein, the term "bispecific antibody" or "biantibody" refers to an antibody that has binding specificity to two different antigens (or epitopes). A bispecific antibody comprises two antigen-binding domains that have binding specificity to different antigens (or epitopes), thereby enabling it to bind to two different binding sites and / or target molecules. Each antigen-binding domain in a bispecific antibody can be independently selected from a full-length antibody (e.g., an IgG antibody) or its antigen-binding fragments (e.g., Fv fragments, Fab fragments, F(ab')2 fragments, or scFv). In some cases, the individual antigen-binding domains are linked by peptide linkers.
[0372] As used herein, the term “antigen-binding fragment” of a bispecific antibody refers to a polypeptide containing a fragment of a bispecific antibody that retains the ability to specifically bind to the same antigen bound by the bispecific antibody and / or competes with the bispecific antibody for specific binding to the antigen; this is also referred to as the “antigen-binding moiety”.
[0373] As used herein, the term "complementarity-determining region" or "CDR" refers to the amino acid residues in the antibody variable region responsible for antigen binding. Each of the heavy and light chain variable regions contains three CDRs, designated CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3. The precise boundaries of these CDRs can be defined according to various numbering systems known in the art, such as the Kabat numbering system (Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 5th Ed. Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md., 1991), the AbM numbering system (Martin ACR, Cheetham JC, Rees AR (1989) Modeling antibody hypervariable loops: A combined algorithm. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 86:9268–9272), the Chothia numbering system (Chothia & Lesk (1987) J. Mol. Biol. 196:901-917; Chothia et al. (1989) Nature 342:878-883), or the IMGT numbering system (Lefranc et al.). The definitions in Lefranc et al., Dev. Comparat. Immunol. 27:55-77, 2003, are provided. In certain special cases, the precise boundaries of these CDRs can also be defined using a combination of the above numbering systems. For a given antibody, those skilled in the art will readily identify the CDRs defined by each numbering system. Furthermore, the correspondence between different numbering systems is well known to those skilled in the art (see, for example, Lefranc et al., Dev. Comparat. Immunol. 27:55-77, 2003).
[0374] Unless otherwise stated, all antibodies in this article are defined using the AbM numbering system.
[0375] In certain specific implementations, the antibodies described herein employ a Kabat / AbM hybrid definition. This Kabat / AbM hybrid definition means that, after encoding the antibody variable region sequence according to the Kabat coding system, the Kabat-defined CDR intervals are: heavy chain CDR1 (H31-H35B), heavy chain CDR2 (H50-H65), heavy chain CDR3 (H95-H102), light chain CDR1 (L24-L34), light chain CDR2 (L50-L56), and light chain CDR3 (L89-L97); while the AbM-defined CDR intervals are: heavy chain CDR1 (H26-H35B), heavy chain CDR2 (H50-H58), and heavy chain CDR3 (H95-H102). Light chain CDR1 (L24-L34), light chain CDR2 (L50-L56), light chain CDR3 (L89-L97); the CDR range defined by the Kabat / AbM hybrid system is: heavy chain CDR1 (H26-H35B), heavy chain CDR2 (H50-H65), heavy chain CDR3 (H95-H102), light chain CDR1 (L24-L34), light chain CDR2 (L50-L56), light chain CDR3 (L89-L97). That is, in the CDRs defined by the Kabat / AbM hybrid system, heavy chain CDR2 is defined by the Kabat numbering system, while heavy chain CDR1, heavy chain CDR3, light chain CDR1, light chain CDR2, and light chain CDR3 are defined by the AbM numbering system.
[0376] As used herein, the term “frame region” or “FR” residues refer to the amino acid residues in the antibody variable region other than the CDR residues as defined above.
[0377] The term "antibody" is not limited to any particular method of producing antibodies. For example, it includes recombinant antibodies, monoclonal antibodies (MAbs), and polyclonal antibodies. Antibodies can be different isotypes of antibodies, such as IgG (e.g., IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, or IgG4 subtypes), IgA1, IgA2, IgD, IgE, or IgM antibodies.
[0378] As used herein, the term "full-length antibody" refers to an antibody composed of two "full-length heavy chains" and two "full-length light chains." A "full-length heavy chain" is a polypeptide chain consisting of a heavy chain variable region (VH), a heavy chain constant region CH1 domain, a hinge region (HR), a heavy chain constant region CH2 domain, and a heavy chain constant region CH3 domain in the N-terminal to C-terminal direction; and, optionally, a heavy chain constant region CH4 domain is also included when the full-length antibody is an IgE isotype. Preferably, the "full-length heavy chain" is a polypeptide chain consisting of VH, CH1, HR, CH2, and CH3 in the N-terminal to C-terminal direction. A "full-length light chain" is a polypeptide chain consisting of a light chain variable region (VL) and a light chain constant region (CL) in the N-terminal to C-terminal direction. The two pairs of full-length antibody chains are linked together by disulfide bonds between CL and CH1 and between the HRs of the two full-length heavy chains. Full-length antibodies contain two antigen-binding sites formed by VH and VL pairs, which specifically recognize / bind to the same antigen.
[0379] As used herein, the term "Fab fragment" refers to an antibody fragment consisting of a light chain containing VL and CL and a heavy chain containing VH and CH1.
[0380] As used herein, the term "scFv" refers to a single polypeptide chain containing VL and VH domains linked by a linker. Such scFv molecules may have a general structure: NH2-VL-linker-VH-COOH or NH2-VH-linker-VL-COOH. Suitable prior art linkers consist of a repeating GGGGS amino acid sequence or a variant thereof. For example, a linker having the amino acid sequence (GGGGS)3 can be used, but variants thereof may also be used. In some cases, a disulfide bond may also exist between the VH and VL domains of the scFv.
[0381] As used herein, the term "single-domain antibody (sdAb)" has the meaning commonly understood by those skilled in the art, referring to an antibody fragment consisting of a single monomeric variable antibody domain (e.g., a single heavy chain variable region, VHH), typically derived from the variable region of a heavy chain antibody (e.g., a camel antibody or a shark antibody). Single-domain antibodies are also called nanobodies, and the terms are used interchangeably. Typically, a nanobody consists of four framework regions and three complementarity-determining regions, having a structure of FR1-CDR1-FR2-CDR2-FR3-CDR3-FR4. Nanobodies can be truncated at the N-terminus or C-terminus to contain only a portion of FR1 and / or FR4, or to lack one or both of those framework regions, as long as they substantially maintain antigen binding and specificity.
[0382] As used herein, the terms “Fc” or “Fc domain” or “Fc region” or “Fc domain” have the meanings commonly understood by those skilled in the art and are used interchangeably, referring to a portion of the heavy chain constant region containing CH2 and CH3. The Fc region of an antibody has a variety of different functions but is not involved in antigen binding. “Effective functions” mediated by the Fc region include Fc receptor binding; Clq binding and complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC); antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC); phage activity; downregulation of cell surface receptors (e.g., B cell receptors); and B cell activation, etc. In some embodiments, the Fc region includes a hinge region, CH2, and CH3. When the Fc region includes a hinge region, the hinge region regulates dimerization between two Fc-containing peptides. The Fc region can be any antibody heavy chain constant region isotype, such as IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, or IgG4.
[0383] The Fc domain can include both native and variant Fc regions. A native Fc region contains an amino acid sequence identical to that of naturally occurring Fc regions, such as the native human IgG1 Fc region (non-A and A allotypes); the native human IgG2 Fc region; the native human IgG3 Fc region; and the native human IgG4 Fc region, as well as their naturally occurring variants. A variant Fc region contains an amino acid sequence that differs from the native Fc region due to at least one amino acid modification. In some embodiments, the variant Fc region may possess altered effector functions compared to the native Fc region (e.g., Fc receptor binding, antibody glycosylation, number of cysteine residues, effector cell function, or complement function). In some embodiments, the variant Fc region may possess modifications that promote dimerization. As used herein, a “monomer” of the Fc domain refers to one of the two polypeptides forming the dimer Fc domain, i.e., a polypeptide containing a C-terminal constant region of the immunoglobulin heavy chain capable of stabilizing its own binding.
[0384] As used herein, the term "specific binding" refers to a non-random binding reaction between two molecules, such as the reaction between an antibody and its target antigen. The strength or affinity of a specific binding interaction can be expressed by the equilibrium dissociation constant (K0) of that interaction. D () indicates. In this invention, the term "K" is used. D "" refers to the dissociation equilibrium constant of a specific antibody-antigen interaction, which describes the binding affinity between the antibody and the antigen. The smaller the equilibrium dissociation constant, the tighter the antibody-antigen binding and the higher the affinity between the antibody and the antigen.
[0385] The specific binding properties between two molecules can be determined using methods known in the art. One method involves measuring the rates of formation and dissociation of the antigen binding site / antigen complex. Both the “binding rate constant” (ka or kon) and the “dissociation rate constant” (kdis or koff) can be calculated from the concentration and the actual rates of association and dissociation (see Malmqvist M, Nature, 1993, 361: 186-187). The ratio of kdis / kon is equal to the dissociation constant K. D (See Davies et al., Annual Rev Biochem, 1990; 59:439-473). K can be measured by any effective method. D The values of kon and kdis can be measured, for example, using surface plasmon resonance (SPR) in Biacore to measure the dissociation constant, or using bioluminescent interferometry or Kinexa to measure the dissociation constant.
[0386] As used herein, the term "identity" refers to the sequence matching between two polypeptides or two nucleic acids. To determine the percentage identity of two amino acid sequences or two nucleic acid sequences, the sequences are aligned for optimal comparison purposes (e.g., a gap may be introduced in the first amino acid sequence or nucleic acid sequence to best align with the second amino acid or nucleic acid sequence). The amino acid residues or nucleotides at corresponding amino acid or nucleotide positions are then compared. When a position in the first sequence is occupied by the same amino acid residue or nucleotide as the corresponding position in the second sequence, the molecule is identical at that position. The percentage identity between two sequences is a function of the number of identity positions shared by the sequences (i.e., percentage identity = number of identical overlapping positions / total number of positions × 100%). In some embodiments, the two sequences are of the same length.
[0387] The determination of percentage identity between two sequences can also be achieved using mathematical algorithms. A non-limiting example of a mathematical algorithm for comparing two sequences is the algorithm of Karlin and Altschul, 1990, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 87:2264-2268, as an improvement upon that in Karlin and Altschul, 1993, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90:5873-5877. Such algorithms are integrated into the NBLAST and XBLAST procedures of Altschul et al., 1990, J. Mol. Biol. 215:403.
[0388] As used herein, the term "variant," in the context of polypeptides (including polypeptides), also refers to a polypeptide or peptide containing an amino acid sequence altered by the introduction of amino acid residue substitutions, deletions, or additions. In some cases, the term "variant" also refers to a polypeptide or peptide that has been modified (i.e., by covalently linking any type of molecule to the polypeptide or peptide). For example, but not limited to, polypeptides can be modified, such as by glycosylation, acetylation, polyethylene glycolation, phosphorylation, amidation, derivatization by known protecting / blocking groups, proteolytic cleavage, linking to cellular ligands or other proteins, etc. Derivatized polypeptides or peptides can be produced by chemical modification using techniques known to those skilled in the art, including but not limited to specific chemical cleavage, acetylation, formylation, metabolic synthesis of tunicamycin, etc. Furthermore, variants have similar, identical, or improved functions to the polypeptide or peptide from which they are derived.
[0389] As used herein, the term "conservative substitution" means an amino acid substitution that does not adversely affect or alter the intended properties of a protein / peptide containing an amino acid sequence. For example, conservative substitutions can be introduced using standard techniques known in the art, such as site-directed mutagenesis and PCR-mediated mutagenesis. Conservative amino acid substitutions include substitutions of amino acid residues with amino acid residues having similar side chains, such as substitutions with residues that are physically or functionally similar to the corresponding amino acid residues (e.g., having similar size, shape, charge, chemical properties, including the ability to form covalent or hydrogen bonds). Families of amino acid residues with similar side chains have been defined in the art. These families include amino acids with basic side chains (e.g., lysine, arginine, and histidine), acidic side chains (e.g., aspartic acid and glutamic acid), uncharged polar side chains (e.g., glycine, asparagine, glutamine, serine, threonine, tyrosine, cysteine, and tryptophan), nonpolar side chains (e.g., alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, proline, phenylalanine, and methionine), β-branched side chains (e.g., threonine, valine, and isoleucine), and aromatic side chains (e.g., tyrosine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, and histidine). Therefore, it is preferable to replace the corresponding amino acid residue with another amino acid residue from the same side chain family. Furthermore, amino acid residues can also be classified into categories defined by optional physical and functional properties. For example, residues containing alcohol groups (S and T), aliphatic residues (I, L, V and M), cycloalkenyl-related residues (F, H, W and Y), hydrophobic residues (A, C, F, G, H, I, L, M, R, T, V, W and Y), negatively charged residues (D and E), polar residues (C, D, E, H, K, N, Q, R, S and T), positively charged residues (H, K and R), small residues (A, C, D, G, N, P, S, T and V), very small residues (A, G and S), residues involved in corner formation (A, C, D, E, G, H, K, N, Q, R, S, P and T), and flexible residues (Q, T, K, S, G, P, D, E and R). Methods for identifying conserved amino acid substitutions are well known in the art (see, for example, Brummell et al., Biochem. 32:1180-1187 (1993); Kobayashi et al., Protein Eng. 12(10):879-884 (1999); and Burks et al., Proc. Natl Acad. Set USA 94:412-417 (1997), which are incorporated herein by reference).
[0390] The twenty common amino acids mentioned in this article are written in accordance with conventional usage. See, for example, Immunology-ASynthesis (2nd Edition, E.S. Golub and D.G. Ren, Eds., Sinauer Associates, Sunderland, Mass. (1991)), which is incorporated herein by reference. In this invention, the terms “polypeptide” and “protein” have the same meaning and are used interchangeably. Furthermore, in this invention, amino acids are generally represented by single-letter and three-letter abbreviations known in the art. For example, alanine can be represented by A or Ala.
[0391] As used herein, the term "vector" refers to a nucleic acid delivery vehicle into which polynucleotides can be inserted. When a vector enables the expression of a protein encoded by the inserted polynucleotide, it is called an expression vector. Vectors can be introduced into host cells through transformation, transduction, or transfection, allowing the genetic material elements they carry to be expressed in the host cells. Vectors are well-known to those skilled in the art and include, but are not limited to: plasmids; phage particles; Cos plasmids; artificial chromosomes, such as yeast artificial chromosomes (YAC), bacterial artificial chromosomes (BAC), or P1-derived artificial chromosomes (PAC); bacteriophages such as λ phage or M13 phage; and animal viruses. Animal viruses that can be used as vectors include, but are not limited to, retrotranscriptoviruses (including lentiviruses), adenoviruses, adeno-associated viruses, herpesviruses (such as herpes simplex virus), poxviruses, baculoviruses, papillomaviruses, and papillomaviruses (such as SV40). A vector may contain multiple elements controlling expression, including but not limited to, promoter sequences, transcription initiation sequences, enhancer sequences, selection elements, and reporter genes. Additionally, a vector may contain a replication initiation site.
[0392] As used herein, the term "host cell" refers to a cell that can be used to introduce a vector, including but not limited to prokaryotic cells such as Escherichia coli or Bacillus subtilis, fungal cells such as yeast cells or Aspergillus, insect cells such as S2 Drosophila cells or Sf9, or animal cells such as fibroblasts, CHO cells, COS cells, NSO cells, HeLa cells, BHK cells, HEK 293 cells, or human cells.
[0393] As used herein, the term "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and / or excipient" means a carrier and / or excipient that is pharmacologically and / or physiologically compatible with the subject and the active ingredient, which is well known in the art (see, for example, Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences. Edited by Gennaro AR, 19th ed. Pennsylvania: Mack Publishing Company, 1995), and includes, but is not limited to: pH adjusters, surfactants, adjuvants, ionic strength enhancers, diluents, agents for maintaining osmotic pressure, agents for delaying absorption, and preservatives. For example, pH adjusters include, but are not limited to, phosphate buffers. Surfactants include, but are not limited to, cationic, anionic, or nonionic surfactants, such as Tween-80. Adjuvants include, but are not limited to, inorganic adjuvants (such as aluminum hydroxide and vanadium), biological adjuvants (such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis, BCG, Corynebacterium tumefaciens, Bordetella pertussis, Gram-negative bacillus endotoxins, B subunits of cholera toxin, muramyl dipeptides, and cytokines), synthetic adjuvants (such as double-chain polyadenylates and uridine monophosphate), oil formulations (such as Freund's complete adjuvant and peanut oil emulsions), and nano-adjuvants. Ionic strength enhancers include, but are not limited to, sodium chloride. Reagents for maintaining osmotic pressure include, but are not limited to, sugars, NaCl, and their analogues. Reagents for delaying absorption include, but are not limited to, monostearates and gelatin. Diluents include, but are not limited to, water, aqueous buffers (such as buffered saline), alcohols, and polyols (such as glycerol). Preservatives include, but are not limited to, various antibacterial and antifungal agents, such as thimerosal, 2-phenoxyethanol, p-hydroxybenzoate, chlorobutanol, phenol, and sorbic acid.
[0394] As used herein, the term "treatment" refers to a method performed to achieve a beneficial or desired clinical outcome. For the purposes of this invention, a beneficial or desired clinical outcome includes (but is not limited to) alleviating symptoms, reducing the extent of disease, stabilizing (i.e., no longer worsening) the state of disease, delaying or slowing the progression of disease, improving or alleviating the state of disease, and relieving symptoms (whether partial or complete), whether detectable or undetectable. Furthermore, "treatment" can also refer to prolonged survival compared to the expected survival (if no treatment had been received).
[0395] As used herein, the term "subject" refers to a mammal, such as a mouse, rat, other rodent, rabbit, dog, cat, pig, cattle, sheep, horse, or primate, such as a human. In some embodiments, the subject (e.g., a human) has a tumor (e.g., a B7-H3 and / or PSMA-positive tumor).
[0396] As used herein, the term "effective amount" means an amount sufficient to achieve, or at least partially achieve, the desired effect. For example, an effective amount for preventing disease (e.g., tumor) means an amount sufficient to prevent, stop, or delay the onset of said disease; an effective amount for treating disease means an amount sufficient to cure or at least partially stop the disease and its complications in a patient already suffering from the disease. Determining such an effective amount is entirely within the capabilities of those skilled in the art. For example, an effective amount for therapeutic purposes will depend on the severity of the disease to be treated, the overall state of the patient's own immune system, the patient's general characteristics such as age, weight, and sex, the manner of administration of the drug, and other concurrent treatments, etc.

[0439] Example 1: Preparation of antigen protein and positive control antibody
[0440] 1. Construction of antigen protein and positive control antibody vector
[0441] 1.1 Antigen gene synthesis and expression vector construction
[0442] The amino acid sequences of the extracellular regions of human B7-H3 protein (hB7H3 ECD) and monkey B7-H3 protein (cB7H3 ECD) were obtained from the UniProt database, with UniProt accession numbers Q5ZPR3-1 (amino acids 29–466) and A0A7N9CYV2-1 (amino acids 30–466), respectively. The hB7H3 ECD and cB7H3 ECD sequences were ligated into the background vector pGS003 (ampR) (constructed by Kinsey) for transiently transfected cells, and expression plasmids were obtained through recombination. The amino acid sequences of the His-tagged, mFc (mouse Fc)-tagged, and hFc (human Fc)-tagged proteins corresponding to hB7H3 ECD and cB7H3 ECD are shown in SEQ IDs: 1–6. Human, monkey, and mouse PSMA proteins with His tags, namely hPSMA (PSA-H82Qb), cPSMA (PSA-C5247), and mPSMA (PSA-M5245), were all purchased from ACRO.
[0443] 1.2 Synthesis of control antibody gene and construction of expression vector
[0444] The positive control antibody P04 used the humanized M30-H1L4 antibody targeting B7-H3 disclosed in patent CN103687945A (SEQ ID NO: 85 and 77 in CN103687945A). The M30-H1 and M30-L4 sequences were ligated into the pGS003 vector (ampR) (constructed by Kinsey), and the expression plasmid was obtained through recombination.
[0445] The positive control antibody P13 uses the PSMA-targeting antibody disclosed in patent CN110049999A. The heavy chain (H) and light chain (L) sequences of the P13 antibody are as follows:
[0446] P13 H, as shown in SEQ ID NO: 7.
[0447] P13 L, as shown in SEQ ID NO: 8.
[0448] The positive control antibody P16 uses the humanized antibody targeting PSMA disclosed in patent CN111989138A (SEQ ID NO: 10 and 11 in CN111989138A). The positive control antibody P16(AC) is a mutant antibody of P16, with the first amino acid residue in the constant region of the PSMA antibody heavy chain, namely position 114 (Kabat number), alanine (A), mutated to cysteine (C). The sequences of the antibody heavy chain (H) and light chain (L) are as follows:
[0449] P16(AC)H, as shown in SEQ ID NO: 9.
[0450] P16(AC)L, as shown in SEQ ID NO: 10.
[0451] The construction methods for vectors P13, P16, and P16(AC) are the same as those for P04.
[0452] 2. Transient protein expression
[0453] The relevant proteins were expressed using Expi293F in Expi293F expression medium. 24 hours before transfection, 2.5 × 10⁶ cells were seeded in 500 ml cell culture flasks. 6 100 ml of Expi293F cells / ml were cultured in a 37°C, 8% CO2 incubator using a shaker at 120 rpm. For transfection, 320 μl of ExpiFectamine 293 reagent was added to 5.6 ml of Opti-MEM, mixed thoroughly, and incubated at room temperature for 5 minutes. Simultaneously, 100 μg of expression plasmids containing His-tagged, mFc-tagged, and hFc-tagged antigen proteins hB7H3ECD and cB7H3ECD, and positive antibody molecules P04, P13, P16, and P16(AC) were diluted to 6 ml using Opti-MEM. The diluted transfection reagent and plasmids were thoroughly mixed and incubated at room temperature for 10 minutes. The mixture was then added to the cells, mixed thoroughly, and cultured for 5 days at 37°C, 8% CO2 using a shaker at 120 rpm. The supernatant was collected and filtered through a 0.22 μm filter.
[0454] 3. Protein purification
[0455] His-tagged antigen proteins need to be purified using Ni Excel media (Cytiva). Solution A is 20 mM PB-0.5 M NaCl (pH 7.2), solution B is 20 mM PB-0.5 M NaCl-0.5 M imidazole (pH 7.5), and 0.5 M NaOH is used for washing. The purified protein is obtained by following the sequence of washing-equilibration with solution A-loading-equilibration with solution A-rinsing with 4% solution B-elution with 60% solution B.
[0456] For the antigen of the positive antibody molecule, mFc or hFc tag, collect the expression supernatant, filter it through a 0.22 μM filter membrane, perform chromatography on Protein A (Cytiva), elute with 20 mM citric acid - sodium citrate, pH 3.2, and adjust the pH to neutral with 1 M Tris base.
[0457] Example 2: Screening of anti - B7 - H3 antibody
[0458] 1. Preparation of monoclonal hybridomas
[0459] 1.1 Immunization of mice
[0460] The anti - human B7 - H3 monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing mice. The experimental Balb / c mice are female, 6 - 8 weeks old (Beijing Speyford Biotechnology Co., Ltd., animal license number: SCXK(Beijing)2019 - 0010). After the mice are purchased, they are raised in the laboratory environment for 1 week, with a 12 / 12 - hour light / dark cycle adjustment, a temperature of 20 - 25 °C, and a humidity of 40 - 60%. The mice that have adapted to the environment are immunized according to the following protocol.
[0461] For the first immunization, Freund's complete adjuvant is used. The immunogen hB7H3 ECD - His (prepared in Example 1) is emulsified with the adjuvant at a volume ratio of 1:1, and is injected subcutaneously. The amount of antigen injected per mouse is 10 μg. The second immunization starts 2 days after the first immunization. The antigen hB7H3 ECD - His is emulsified with Alum (aluminum potassium sulfate, sigma) adjuvant and injected subcutaneously. The amount of antigen injected per mouse is 10 μg.
[0462] Three weeks after the first immunization, the mice are bled from the orbital cavity, and a small amount of blood samples are taken for serum titer detection. After the serum titer reaches 1:200000 or above by indirect ELISA method, the mice are given a booster immunization.
[0463] 1.2 Preparation of myeloma cells
[0464] One week before the fusion experiment, resuscitate the myeloma cells P3X63Ag8.653 (ATCC, #CRL - 1580), and culture them in a complete medium containing 1×8 - Azaguanine (8 - azaguanine). Two days before the fusion, change to DMEM with 10% fetal bovine serum for culture to make them in the logarithmic growth phase. The confluence of P3X63Ag8.653 on the day of fusion is 70% - 80%.
[0465] 1.3 Cell fusion and HA screening
[0466] Obtaining and preparing spleen and lymph node cells: Two mice were used after booster immunization. The peritoneum of the mice was cut open, and the spleen and intra-abdominal lymph nodes were removed. The spleen and lymph nodes were ground with a grinding rod and then filtered through a cell sieve to prepare a single-cell suspension.
[0467] Pretreatment before cell fusion: P3X63Ag8.653 cells were collected from culture flasks, centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 5 min, the supernatant was discarded, and the cells were resuspended in DMEM for viable cell counting. Spleen cell suspension was centrifuged at 2000 rpm for 5 min, the supernatant was discarded, and the cells were resuspended in DMEM for viable cell counting.
[0468] Cell electrofusion: Spleen cells and P3X63Ag8.653 cells were mixed at a ratio of 2:1, centrifuged at 2000 rpm for 5 min, and the supernatant was removed. The cells were washed twice with electrofusion buffer (BTX, #47-0001), centrifuged at 2000 rpm for 5 min after each wash, and the supernatant was discarded. The cells were resuspended with electrofusion buffer and added to the electrofusion chamber. The electrofusion instrument (BTX, ECM2001) was started, and the fused cells were added to the prepared 1 / 2 HA (Sigma) selection medium.
[0469] Hybridoma cell selection and culture: Mouse hybridoma cells were resuspended in 1 / 2 HA medium, and the cell suspension was added to 96-well cell culture plates at a rate of 200 μl / well and cultured in a cell culture incubator at 37°C. After 1 week of culture, the medium was changed for the first time with 1 / 2 HA medium, and the cells were cultured in a cell culture incubator at 37°C for the second time. After 3 days of culture, the medium was changed for the second time with 1 / 2 HA medium.
[0470] 1.4 Cell Fusion Screening
[0471] Screening of positive cell lines: Two weeks after fusion, cell supernatants were collected for ELISA to detect the binding of cell supernatants to hB7H3 ECD-His protein. After screening cell wells with positive ELISA results, the cell wells were replaced with new medium, and a second ELISA test was performed 2 days later. Cell supernatants with positive retest results were collected for FACS to detect the binding of cell supernatants to B7-H3 protein on the surface of CHO cells.
[0472] The wells that showed positive results were expanded for culture, and then subcloning was performed using the limiting dilution method to select single-clone cell lines.
[0473] 1.5 Cloning detection and scale-up culture
[0474] ELISA and FACS experiments were performed on the supernatant from the wells of monoclonal cells to screen for clones that bind to B7-H3 protein and cell surface B7-H3. Four positive clones were screened and labeled 1.2.3, 10.15.3, 3.17.1, and 10.7.1, respectively. After expanding the clones into larger cultures, the supernatant was collected for affinity purification to obtain purified mouse antibodies, which were then tested for affinity with human B7-H3 protein.
[0475] The kinetic affinity of antigen and antibody was determined using a Biacore 8K analyzer. The specific method is as follows: Mouse antibody molecules were captured using a Protein A chip (Cytiva) at 25°C in HBS-EP+ buffer (pH 7.4, Cytiva) for 30 s at a flow rate of 30 μl / min. hB7H3 ECD-His was serially diluted 2-fold from 100 nmol / L to six concentration points and flowed through the chip at a flow rate of 30 μl / min. The antigen and antibody bound for 120 s, followed by dissociation at 240 s. Regeneration with 1.5% glycine (Cytiva) was performed for 30 s. Kinetic fitting (1:1 model) was performed using Biacore 8K Evaluation software (Cytiva), and the affinity constants are shown in Table 2-1.

[0478] 2. Monoclonal antibody gene sequencing and preparation of chimeric antibodies
[0479] 2.1 Monoclonal antibody gene sequencing
[0480] After immunization, fusion, and monoclonalization, total RNA was extracted from monoclonal antibody cell lines 1.2.3, 10.15.3, 3.17.1, and 10.7.1 based on affinity assay results. The RNA was then reverse transcribed into cDNA, and the heavy chain variable region and light chain variable region of the antibody were amplified by PCR using the cDNA as a template.
[0481] Sequence analysis of the antibody gene heavy and light chains was performed. Total RNA from the monoclonal antibodies was obtained using data from Invitrogen. Extraction was performed according to the reagent kit (15596-026) and its instructions.
[0482] Next, we used Takara's PrimeScript. TMII. The 1st Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit (6210A) uses total RNA as a template. The random primers in the kit are used for reverse transcription into first-strand cDNA. Then, reverse primers designed with constant regions for the heavy and light strands and adapter primers in the kit are used for PCR amplification.
[0483] The heavy chain and light chain variable regions of four monoclonal antibody cell lines were amplified by PCR and detected by electrophoresis. The PCR fragments were recovered using an agarose gel extraction kit and subjected to TA cloning. Single clones were selected for PCR identification, and samples from correctly identified strains were sequenced. The final protein sequences of the heavy chain variable regions of cells 1.2.3, 10.15.3, 3.17.1, and 10.7.1 were identified as SEQ ID NO: 11, 13, 15, and 17; the protein sequences of the light chain variable regions were identified as SEQ ID NO: 12, 14, 16, and 18. According to the AbM definition, the CDR region sequences of the heavy chain in section 1.2.3 are SEQ ID NO: 19, 108, and 21, and the CDR region sequences of the light chain in section 1.2.3 are SEQ ID NO: 22–24. The CDR region sequences of the heavy chain in section 10.15.3 are SEQ ID NO: 25, 109, and 27, and the CDR region sequences of the light chain in section 10.15.3 are SEQ ID NO: 28–30. The CDR region sequences of the heavy chain in section 3.17.1 are SEQ ID NO: 31, 110, and 33, and the CDR region sequences of the light chain in section 3.17.1 are SEQ ID NO: 34–36. The CDR region sequences of the heavy chain in section 10.7.1 are SEQ ID NO: 37, 111, and 39, and the CDR region sequences of the light chain in section 10.7.1 are SEQ ID NO: 40–42.
[0484] 2.2 Preparation of chimeric antibodies
[0485] The heavy chain and light chain variable regions of the four obtained monoclonal antibody cell lines were cloned into pcDNA3.4(EBV) vectors (ampR) containing the human IgG1 constant region (constructed by Kinsey) and pcDNA3.4(EBV) vectors (ampR) containing the human kappa constant region (constructed by Kinsey), respectively. Expression plasmids were obtained through recombination and then transfected into cells to prepare chimeric antibodies 1.2.3ChAb-hIgG1, 10.15.3ChAb-hIgG1, 3.17.1ChAb-hIgG1, and 10.7.1ChAb-hIgG1. The protein sequence of the human IgG1 constant region is SEQ ID NO:43, and the protein sequence of the human kappa constant region is SEQ ID NO:44.
[0486] 3. Preparation of humanized antibodies
[0487] Humanization of the variable regions of candidate murine antibodies (1.2.3, 10.15.3, 3.17.1, and 10.7.1) was designed using CDR transplantation technology. First, the light and heavy chain variable regions of the candidate murine antibodies were sequence-aligned with human germline genes in the IMGT database. V and J gene sequences from different human germlines with high homology to the murine antibody variable regions were selected as humanization templates. Then, the murine antibody and template sequences were annotated according to the Kabat coding system and AbM CDR definition, and the murine antibody CDR was transplanted into the frame region of the template. Finally, appropriate reversion mutation sites were selected to mutate amino acid residues in the human template frame region back to the corresponding amino acid residues in the murine antibody frame region, resulting in humanized molecules 1.2.3-H6L4, 10.15.3-H2L2, 3.17.1-H2L3, and 10.7.1-H2L2. The humanized heavy chain variable region sequence is SEQ ID NO:45~48, and the humanized light chain variable region sequence is SEQ ID NO:49~52.
[0488] The heavy chain variable region DNA sequence of the humanized antibody sequence was constructed into the human IgG1 constant region pcDNA3.4(EBV) vector (ampR) (constructed by Kinsey), and the expression plasmid was obtained through recombination. The human IgG1 constant region protein sequence is SEQ ID NO:43. The light chain variable region DNA sequence was constructed into the human kappa constant region pcDNA3.4(EBV) vector (ampR) (constructed by Kinsey), and the expression plasmid was obtained through recombination. The human kappa constant region protein sequence is SEQ ID NO:44. Simultaneously, the expression preparation of humanized antibody molecules 1.2.3-H6L4-hIgG1, 10.15.3-H2L2-hIgG1, 3.17.1-H2L3-hIgG1, and 10.7.1-H2L2-hIgG1 was commissioned to Baiying Biotechnology.
[0489] 4. Phage library screening
[0490] 4.1 Construction and Selection of Natural Human-Derived Literature Library
[0491] Take 100 times the volume of the fully human scFv antibody library (1E11-scfv fully human library constructed by Jinsai) and inoculate it into 880 ml of 2YT-AG medium (containing 100 μg / ml ampicillin and 2% glucose). Incubate at 37℃ and 200 rpm until OD600 = 0.5-0.6. Add helper phages at a cell density of 100 times and incubate at 37℃ for 15 min. Then, shake and incubate at 200 rpm for 1 h. Collect the cells by centrifugation and resuspend them in 400 ml of 2YT-AK medium (containing 100 μg / ml ampicillin and 75 μg / ml kanamycin). Incubate overnight at 30℃ and 200 rpm.
[0492] Centrifuge the culture from the previous step at 4100 rpm and 4°C for 30 min, collect the supernatant, add 1 / 4 volume of PEG / NaCl, mix well, and incubate on ice for 1 h; centrifuge at 4100 rpm and 4°C for 30 min, discard the supernatant; resuspend the phage pellet in 2 ml of pre-cooled 1×PBS, centrifuge at 12000 g and 4°C for 10 min; transfer the supernatant to a new 15 ml centrifuge tube to obtain the first round of starting phage. First, take an appropriate amount of PBS-diluted library phage solution and place it in a pre-clear SA immunotherapy tube, incubate at room temperature for 1 h; take out the pre-clear library phage, add 1 mL of PBS, and divide it equally into two blocked 2 ml centrifuge tubes. Add an appropriate amount of antigen to tube R and an equal volume of PBS to tube CK, and incubate at room temperature for 1 h; add 100 μl of M280 magnetic beads blocked with 5% skim milk to tubes R and CK respectively, and bind for 15 min. The phages were separated on a magnetic rack and the supernatant was discarded. Unbound phages were then washed away with PBST, and phages were eluted with 1 ml of Glycine-HCl (pH 2.2). The eluted phages were then re-infected with TG1 cells for amplification of the elution products. The phages were purified by PEG / NaCl precipitation for the next round of screening. A total of four rounds of phage library enrichment and screening were performed, with progressively increasing washing intensities. The titers of the elution products from each round were determined.
[0493] 4.2 Induction of monoclonal expression and ELISA screening
[0494] After the first to fourth rounds of selection, the bacterial culture was limitedly diluted and spread on plates, and cultured overnight. Single colonies were picked and cultured overnight in 96-well deep-well plates containing 0.5 ml / well of 2YT-AG medium. The overnight culture was then transferred at a volume ratio of 1:10 to 96-well deep-well plates containing 0.5 ml / well of 2YT-AG medium and cultured until OD600 = 0.5-0.6. The culture was then induced overnight at 30°C with 2YT-AG medium (containing 100 μg / ml ampicillin and 1 mM IPTG). The next day, the supernatant was transferred to a clean 96-well deep-well plate by centrifugation. 96-well ELISA plates were coated with hB7H3 ECD-mFc and cB7H3 ECD-mFc antigens, respectively. After blocking, 50 μl of monoclonal supernatant was added to each well, and the plates were incubated at 25°C for 1 h. Then, 250 μl of PBST was added to each well, the plates were shaken for 5–10 s, and the solution was discarded. This process was repeated 3 times. Next, 50 μl of anti-His-HRP antibody (Sino Biological) PBS diluted 1:20000 was added to each well, and the plates were incubated at 25°C for 1 h. Then, 250 μl of PBST was added to each well, the plates were shaken for 5–10 s, and the solution was discarded. This process was repeated 3 times. Finally, 50 μl of TMB chromogenic solution was added to each well, and the plates were incubated for 5 min. Then, 50 μl of 2M H2SO4 was added to each well to stop the incubation. The OD450 value was measured using an ELISA reader.
[0495] Single clones specifically binding to hB7H3 ECD-mFc and cB7H3 ECD-mFc were selected for sequencing. Overnight culture of the above-mentioned bacteria in 2YT-AG medium in 96-well deep plates was used for sequencing analysis and ELISA retesting. One scFv monoclonal antibody (P13738) was selected for the preparation of the fully human full-length antibody P13738-hIgG1. The amino acid sequence of its heavy chain variable region is SEQ ID NO:53, and the amino acid sequence of its light chain variable region is SEQ ID NO:54. According to the AbM definition, the heavy chain CDR region sequences are: SEQ ID NO:56, 112, 58, and the light chain CDR region sequences are: SEQ ID NO:59-61. The heavy chain variable region DNA sequence was constructed into the human IgG1 constant region pcDNA3.4(EBV) vector (ampR) (constructed by Kinsey), and the expression plasmid was obtained through recombination. The human IgG1 constant region protein sequence is SEQ ID NO:43. The light chain variable region DNA sequence was constructed into the human kappa constant region pcDNA3.4(EBV) vector (ampR) (Kinsey construction), and the expression plasmid was obtained through recombination. The human kappa constant region protein sequence is SEQ ID NO:44.
[0496] 4.3 Sequence optimization of the fully human monoclonal antibody P13738
[0497] A high isoelectric point (IOP) of an antibody can affect its solubility, stability, tissue distribution, and biological activity. The P13738 molecule was found to have an IOP of 9.1 in previous studies. The IOP was lowered through rational design of the antibody framework region. The study found that the P13738-V1 mutant retained the activity of P13738 while achieving a lower IOP; the IOP of P13738-V1 was 8.54. The amino acid sequence of the heavy chain variable region of P13738-V1 is SEQ ID NO:62, and its amino acid sequence of the light chain variable region is SEQ ID NO:63.
