Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of biological medicine, and relates to a monoclonal antibody, in particular to an anti-IL13Rα2 monoclonal antibody and uses thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The Global Cancer Statistics Report 2022 shows that breast cancer is the second largest disease in the global cancer incidence, with an incidence of 2.3 million, accounting for 11.6% of all cancer cases. In recent years, the incidence and mortality of breast cancer have shown an increasing trend, and it is also the main cause of death in women. At present, the early diagnosis of breast cancer and the surgical and radiotherapy technology have made great progress, which has reduced the overall mortality, but the risk of metastasis to organs such as lung, bone and brain is still high. The risk factors for distant metastasis in breast cancer patients include tumor size, lymph node metastasis, histological grade, ER, PR, HER2 expression, etc. According to the expression of estrogen receptor (estrogen receptor, ER), progesterone receptor (progesterone receptor, PR), human epidermal growth factor receptor (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2, HER2) and cell proliferation (evaluated by Ki67), breast cancer is clinically classified into four types: luminal A (ER+ / PR+), luminal B (ER+ / PR+ / HER2- / + / Ki67+), HER2 overexpression (ER- / PR- / HER2+) and triple-negative breast cancer (triple-negative breast cancer, TNBC). Each clinical subtype of breast cancer has different clinical characteristics of metastasis. Bone metastasis often occurs in luminal breast cancer, 32% of triple-negative breast cancer patients have lung metastasis, which is also the most common type of lung metastasis.

[0003] Metastasis is the main cause of death of breast cancer, and more than 90% of breast cancer deaths are caused by complications caused by metastasis. According to statistics, about 500,000 breast cancer patients die from distant metastasis every year, and about 70% have lung metastasis, 60% have bone and liver metastasis. Lung metastasis often occurs within 5 years of initial diagnosis, and the average survival time of breast cancer patients with single lung metastasis is only 25 months. Although various schemes such as surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and endocrine therapy have made certain breakthroughs, which can control the growth of primary tumors, the prognosis of lung metastasis patients is often difficult: for lesions that cannot be surgically removed, the treatment measures are very limited. Therefore, lung metastasis is still the biggest challenge in the treatment of breast cancer, and it is very important to explore genes and signaling pathways related to metastasis for the development of more effective diagnosis and treatment strategies and intervention measures.

[0004] Metastasis is a complex biological process involving multiple genes and multiple steps. In this dynamic environment, signaling generated by ligand-receptor complexes coordinates a wide range of cellular responses, significantly affecting tumor behavior. Interleukin 13 receptor subunit alpha 2 (IL13Rα2), also known as CT19, IL-13R, IL13BP, CD213A2, is a specific cell surface receptor composed of 380 amino acids, with the encoding gene located at Xq24. It was initially considered to be a second decoy receptor for interleukin 13 (IL13). However, recent studies have gradually revised this view, with increasing evidence that IL13Rα2 can signal through IL13, promoting tumor progression and immune escape. In ovarian cancer, up to 83% of tumor tissues express IL13Rα2. Clinical data show that breast cancer patients with high expression of IL13Rα2 have significantly poorer prognosis in terms of metastasis-free survival. Similarly, in renal clear cell carcinoma, high expression of IL13Rα2 is also closely related to poor prognosis. In the field of colorectal cancer, immunohistochemical detection shows that about 66% of cases have high expression of IL13Rα2, and there is a statistically significant association with T3 / T4 staging. In summary, IL13Rα2 has become a promising tumor-associated antigen and biomarker in various cancers.

[0005] Monoclonal antibody therapy is a highly precise targeted therapy that specifically recognizes and binds to specific antigens (such as tumor cell surface proteins, pathogens, or inflammatory factors) to exert therapeutic effects. Its main advantages are: 1) precise targeting, reducing damage to normal tissues; 2) significant therapeutic effect, which can act through multiple mechanisms such as blocking signaling pathways, activating immune killing, or directly neutralizing pathogens; 3) higher safety, with generally mild side effects (such as infusion reactions or mild allergies), providing a safety advantage over traditional chemotherapy or broad-spectrum drugs. Currently, this technology has been widely used in the treatment of cancer, autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases.

[0006] The present invention is directed to the abnormal high expression of IL13Rα2 in triple-negative breast tumors and lung metastatic breast cancer, so we prepared an IL13Rα2 monoclonal antibody (IL13Rα2 mAb) 1-3C-1, which can bind to the specific epitope of the IL13Rα2 antigen. In vivo treatment with this antibody can significantly reduce breast tumor growth and lung metastasis, prolonging survival. These results suggest that IL13Rα2 monoclonal antibody is a potential cancer treatment drug. There is currently no preclinical study of IL13Rα2 monoclonal antibody treatment for triple-negative breast cancer growth and metastasis. SUMMARY

Non-specific sites were blocked with 5% skim milk powder, and specific primary antibodies were added sequentially and incubated overnight at 4°C. The next day, the membrane was washed with TBST, incubated with enzyme-labeled secondary antibody at room temperature for 1 hour, washed again with TBST, and then chemiluminescent substrate was added for development. The target protein can then be detected and quantified.

[0056] Conclusion: The IL13Rα2 monoclonal antibody 1-3C-1 has the best specificity.

[0057] Example 4

[0058] Further sequence and structural analysis of the IL13Rα2 monoclonal antibody 1-3C-1 was performed using the classic Sanger sequencing method.

[0059] Experimental process

[0060] Sanger sequencing workflow: 1. Sample preparation: Extract DNA from hybridoma cells, design specific primers, and amplify the antibody variable region gene (including heavy and light chains) by PCR. 2. Sequencing reaction: Four common deoxynucleotides (dATP, dTTP, dCTP, dGTP) and a small amount of dideoxynucleotides (ddATP, ddTTP, ddCTP, ddGTP) are added; the dideoxynucleotides pair with the template DNA, causing chain synthesis to terminate at a specific position; 3. Capillary electrophoresis separation: DNA fragments are separated by capillary electrophoresis. Shorter fragments move faster and longer fragments move slower, thus separating DNA fragments of different lengths. 4. Signal detection and sequence analysis: Detect the fluorescence signal at the end of each fragment; analyze the peak positions of the electrophoresis pattern to infer the complete sequence of the DNA fragment.

[0061] Sequencing results showed that the IL13Rα2 monoclonal antibody 1-3C-1 contains heavy chain variable regions and light chain variable regions. The heavy chain variable regions include H-CDR1, H-CDR2, and H-CDR3, while the light chain variable regions include L-CDR1, L-CDR2, and L-CDR3.

Seed the plate for a total of 4 96-well plates (0 h, 24 h, 48 h, 72 h). 3) Group according to the above time, incubate in a 5% CO2, 37 ℃ cell culture incubator, add 10 µL of CCK8 reagent to each well, gently shake to mix, and continue to culture for 1~4 hours; 4) Measure the absorbance of each well at the OD450nm wavelength of the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) instrument.

[0064] Conclusion: The IL13Rα2 monoclonal antibody 1-3C-1 significantly inhibited the proliferation of triple-negative breast cancer cells.

[0065] 2. Transwell method for detecting cell migration and invasion capabilities 1) Cell preparation The IL13Rα2 monoclonal antibody was serially diluted in DMEM complete medium and co-cultured with well-grown breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231, purchased from ATCC) for 48 h. The cells were then digested and counted. 2) Transwell chamber treatment Migration assay: Place the Transwell chamber into a culture plate, add 600 μL of complete culture medium (chemotactic agent) containing 10% FBS to the lower chamber; add 100-200 μL of cell suspension (prepared with serum-free culture medium) to the upper chamber. Invasion test: Matrigel coating (melted at 4°C in advance): Dilute Matrigel with serum-free medium (1:8~1:10) using a pre-cooled pipette tip; add 50~100 μL to each chamber, cure at 37°C for 1~2 h, and follow the same steps as migration test; 3) Incubation Incubate at 37 ℃ in a 5% CO2 incubator for 12-48 h (adjust the time according to the cell migration ability). Invasion experiments are usually 6-12 h longer than migration experiments. 4) Termination of experiment and staining Cell fixation: Gently wipe away unmigrated cells from the upper chamber with a cotton swab, fix with 4% paraformaldehyde for 30 minutes, and wash with PBS; Staining: Stain with 0.1% crystal violet for 20 minutes, wash off excess dye with PBS, and observe and photograph under a fluorescence microscope.

[0066] Conclusion: The IL13Rα2 monoclonal antibody 1-3C-1 significantly inhibited the migration and invasion of triple-negative breast cancer cells.

[0067] Example 6 In vivo experiments verified the inhibitory effect of IL13Rα2 monoclonal antibody on the growth of triple-negative breast cancer tumors and lung metastasis (see appendix). Figure 8 -Appendix Figure 9 ).

[0068] animal experiments 1) Establishment of a breast cancer tumor-bearing animal model: 4-6 week old BALB / c female mice were purchased from Shanghai Silex Laboratory Animal Co., Ltd. 1×10⁻⁶ mc²⁻¹ of mammary fat pads were subcutaneously injected into the fourth pair of mammary fat pads of the mice. 5A mouse model of breast cancer bearing was established using 14 breast cancer cells (n=14). Five days later, mice were injected intraperitoneally with IL13Rα2 monoclonal antibody and its control IgM (10 mg / kg) twice weekly. 2) Tumor Growth Recording and Subsequent Analysis: One week after inoculation with breast tumor cells, mice were observed daily. Their health, diet, and the exact date of tumor initiation were recorded. Tumor size was measured every other day using calipers. This observation and recording continued for four weeks, and a tumor growth curve was plotted. Finally, the mice were euthanized, and tumor tissue, along with lung tissue, was collected. Tumor volume and weight were measured. Tumor and lung tissue were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde. Ki67 staining was performed on breast tumor tissue sections, and HE staining was performed on lung tissue sections. The proliferation and metastasis of breast tumor cells were assessed.

[0069] Conclusion: The IL13Rα2 monoclonal antibody 1-3C-1 significantly inhibited the growth of mammary tumors and lung metastasis in triple-negative breast cancer-bearing mice.
