Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biomedicine and relates to a SIRPα polypeptide, an immunoglobulin fusion protein, a monospecific antibody, a bispecific antibody, a multispecific antibody, and their use in the development of targeted drugs. Background Technology
[0002] CD47 is a transmembrane protein widely distributed on the surface of normal cells, with a molecular weight of approximately 50 kDa. It belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily and its main biological functions include cell adhesion, cell migration, regulation of inflammatory responses, and inhibition of macrophage phagocytosis. Three known natural ligands for CD47 are integrin, platelet-1, and SIRPα.
[0003] In tumor tissues, macrophages can clear tumor cells through phagocytosis, but this phagocytosis is inhibited by the CD47-SIRPα immune checkpoint pathway. Furthermore, macrophages themselves express CD47 molecules, which act cis-on SIRPα on the same cell surface. Extensive research data indicates that cis-acting CD47 molecules elicit stronger intracellular SIRPα signals compared to trans-acting molecules, thus triggering a stronger inhibitory effect on themselves. Therefore, due to the aforementioned immune checkpoint role of CD47-SIRPα in macrophages, it can serve as a pathway for tumor treatment. This target can be used to treat various cancers, and the effectiveness of CD47 blockade has been demonstrated in mouse xenograft tumor transplantation models. Therefore, CD47 has become a novel target for cancer immune checkpoint therapy (Vonderheide R H. CD47blockade as another immune checkpoint therapy for cancer. Nature Medicine, 2015, 21(10):1122-1123).
[0004] According to statistics, as of 2026, there are 39 antibody / fusion protein drugs targeting the CD47-SIRPα pathway in clinical research stages (see Table 1).

[0007] The aforementioned anti-CD47 antibodies and SIRPα-Fc fusion proteins, among other investigational drugs, exhibit certain anti-tumor activity by blocking the CD47-SIRPα signaling pathway and relieving the inhibitory effect of CD47 on immune cells. However, because erythrocytes also express a large amount of CD47 protein, anti-CD47 antibody therapy, which binds to CD47 protein with high affinity, can cause toxic side effects such as erythrocyte agglutination and anemia (Mccracken MN, et al. Molecular Pathways: Activating T Cells after Cancer Cell Phagocytosis from Blockade of CD47 “Don't Eat Me” Signals. Clinical Cancer Research, 2015, 21(16):3597-3601). This makes the clinical development of anti-CD47 antibody drugs extremely difficult, so no anti-CD47 antibody drugs have been approved for marketing to date. Furthermore, current clinical trial results indicate that systemic monotherapy for blocking the CD47-SIRPα pathway in cancer patients has negligible efficacy, and CD47 blockade can lead to numerous side effects such as anemia and thrombocytopenia. Therefore, given the current structure of clinical research, eliminating the side effects of the target will be a key focus of future research.
[0008] Therefore, given the potential safety risks (such as anemia, hemagglutination, etc.) of monovalent or multivalent antibodies or recombinant proteins targeting CD47, there is a need to develop new tumor-targeting drugs that can specifically target and treat tumors while activating and enhancing the patient's immune function, significantly improving the efficacy of tumor treatment while ensuring safety and reducing the cost of medication for patients.

[0121] Unless otherwise defined, all technical terms used herein have the same meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. For definitions and terminology in this field, those skilled in the art may refer to Current Protocols in Molecular Biology (Ausubel). The abbreviations for amino acid residues are the standard 3-letter and / or 1-letter codes used in this field to refer to one of the 20 commonly used L-amino acids.
[0122] As used herein, unless otherwise specified, the singular forms “a / an” and “the” include plural referents.
[0123] The term "SIRPα" in this invention refers to the amino acid sequence of wild-type signal regulatory protein α, or a recombinant or non-recombinant polypeptide having the amino acid sequence of wild-type signal regulatory protein α, or a mutant of naturally occurring signal regulatory protein α. In humans, 10 mutant forms of SIRPα have been found. The amino acid sequence of one mutant form (mutant 1 or V1) is listed as NCBI RefSeqNP_001035111.1 (residues 31-504 constitute the mature form). Another form (mutant 2 or V2) differs from mutant 1 or V1 by 13 amino acids, and its amino acid sequence is listed in GenBank as CAA71403.1. These two forms of SIRPα constitute approximately 80% of the various types of SIRPα present in humans.
[0124] The term "immunoglobulin" refers to an animal protein with antibody activity, preferably a human immunoglobulin. In some embodiments, "immunoglobulin" can be IgG, IgM, IgE, IgD, or IgA, with IgG being the preferred immunoglobulin and IgG1 or IgG4 being more preferred. As an alternative embodiment, the Fc fragment of the immunoglobulin may incorporate one or more amino acid alterations (e.g., mutations, additions, or deletions), typically no more than about five such alterations, including mutations, additions, or deletions of amino acids affecting certain Fc properties. As an alternative embodiment, the hinge region of the immunoglobulin may incorporate one or more amino acid alterations (e.g., mutations, additions, or deletions), typically no more than about five such alterations, including mutations, additions, or deletions of amino acids affecting certain Fc properties. In some specific embodiments, the SIRPα portion of the immunoglobulin fusion protein is fused to the C-terminus of the immunoglobulin fragment, while in other specific embodiments, the SIRPα portion is fused to the N-terminus of the immunoglobulin fragment. The SIRPα portion may be fused to the immunoglobulin fragment via an optional linker or directly without a linker.
[0125] The term "mutation" means that at least one existing amino acid residue is replaced by another different amino acid residue (e.g., a substitute amino acid residue). For example, the mutation Q37H indicates that the amino acid residue glutamine at position 37 of the SIRPα polypeptide is replaced by the amino acid residue histidine (histidine-substituted glutamine) (numbered according to the EU index numbering system). "Natural amino acid residues" refers to amino acid residues from the following groups: alanine (three-letter code: Ala, single-letter code: A), arginine (Arg, R), asparagine (Asn, N), aspartic acid (Asp, D), cysteine (Cys, C), glutamine (Gin, Q), glutamic acid (Glu, E), glycine (Gly, G), histidine (His, H), isoleucine (Ile, I), leucine (Leu, L), lysine (Lys, K), methionine (Met, M), phenylalanine (Phe, F), proline (Pro, P), serine (Ser, S), threonine (Thr, T), tryptophan (Trp, W), tyrosine (Tyr, Y), and valine (Val, V).
[0126] The term "rituximab" is an INN for rituximab, and its amino acid sequence can be found at https: / / www.who.int / publications / m / item / inn-rl-94.
[0127] The term "nivolumab" has the INN name nivolumab, and its amino acid sequence can be found at https: / / www.who.int / publications / m / item / inn-pl-111.
[0128] The term "bispecific antibody" or "multispecific antibody" refers to an antibody that recognizes two or more different antigens by having a first antigen-binding domain specific to a first antigen, a second antigen-binding domain specific to a second antigen, and additional antigen-binding domains specific to additional antigens. Bispecific antibodies bind specifically to two target antigens and are therefore a class of multispecific antibodies. Multispecific antibodies can be generated by recombinant DNA methods, or, including but not limited to, antibodies chemically generated by any convenient method. Bispecific antibodies include all antibodies or antibody conjugates or polymeric forms capable of recognizing two different antigens. Bispecific antibodies include antibodies that have been simplified and reformed to retain their bivalent characteristics, and chemically conjugated antibodies that may have multiple antigen recognition sites against each antigen.
[0129] The term "specificity" refers to an antigen-binding protein or antibody that selectively recognizes a specific epitope of an antigen. For example, natural antibodies are monospecific. As used herein, the terms "bispecific" or "multispecific" indicate that an antigen-binding protein or antibody has two or more antigen-binding sites, at least two of which bind to different antigens or different epitopes of the same antigen.
[0130] The term "Fc domain" generally includes the hinge region, the CH2 domain of the heavy chain constant region, and the CH3 domain of the heavy chain constant region (i.e., Hinge-CH2-CH3). The Fc domain often forms a dimer via disulfide bonds. Currently, the most commonly used fusion partner is the Fc segment of immunoglobulin IgG. The antibody Fc is part of the antibody constant region (including the hinge region -CH2-CH3, but excluding the CH1 portion of the antibody constant region). Fusion with the Fc segment increases the molecular weight and enhances the stability of the fusion molecule through FcRn-mediated recycling mechanisms, prolonging its in vivo half-life. Simultaneously, the Fc segment can mediate various biological functions such as ADCC and CDC. However, such fusion proteins lack the variable region of the antibody; their pharmacology and efficacy primarily depend on the functional molecule fused to the Fc segment. Human immunoglobulin G has four subtypes, each with varying biological activities. Currently, IgG1 antibodies are the most widely used. In recent years, with the expansion of new indications and the emergence of antibody drugs with new mechanisms of action, the IgG2 and IgG4 subtypes, which have lower cytotoxicity, have gained attention. In this invention, the "Fc domain" is preferably the Fc domain of an IgG1 antibody or the Fc domain of an IgG4 antibody.
[0131] The term “link” or “connection” refers to a connection or union of two or more components held together by a bond, link, force or binding, encompassing direct or indirect links, such as in the case of directly binding a first polypeptide to a second polypeptide or material, and in the case of placing one or more intermediate compounds (e.g., amino acids, peptides, polypeptides, etc.) between the first polypeptide and the second polypeptide or material (linking).
[0132] The term "vector" is not particularly limited and can refer to any vector capable of replicating and / or expressing polynucleotides in eukaryotic or prokaryotic cells, including mammalian cells (e.g., human, monkey, rabbit, rat, hamster, or mouse cells), plant cells, yeast cells, insect cells, and bacterial cells (e.g., E. coli).
[0133] The term "host cell" includes prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, including (but not limited to) bacterial cells such as *Escherichia coli*, *Streptomyces*, and *Salmonella typhimurium*; yeast cells; fungal cells such as *Pichia pastoris*; insect cells such as *Drosophila melanoma* or *Noctua sf.* Sf9 cells; animal cells such as CHO-K1 (Chinese hamster ovary cells), SP2 / 0 (mouse myeloma cells), human lymphoblastoid blasts, COS, NSO, 293T, Bowes melanoma cells, HT-1080, BHK (young hamster kidney cells), HEK (human embryonic kidney cells), PERC.6 (human retinal cells), etc.; and plant cells. Any cell known to those skilled in the art as a mammalian host cell may be used in this field.
[0134] Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers should not induce antibodies harmful to the individual receiving the composition, and should not be toxic. Suitable carriers can be large, slowly metabolized macromolecules such as proteins, peptides, liposomes, polysaccharides, polylactic acid, polyglycolic acid, polymeric amino acids, amino acid copolymers, and inactive viral particles. They can also be pharmaceutically acceptable salts, such as inorganic acid salts like hydrochloride, hydrobromide, phosphate, and sulfate, or organic acid salts like acetate, propionate, malonate, and benzoate.
[0135] Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers may also contain liquids such as water, saline, glycerin, and ethanol. Additionally, excipients (such as wetting agents, emulsifiers, or pH buffers) may be present in the composition. These carriers enable the pharmaceutical composition to be formulated as tablets, pills, lozenges, capsules, liquids, gels, syrups, pastes, and suspensions for patient ingestion.
[0136] The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention can be prepared in various forms. For example, the compositions can be prepared as injectable solutions or suspensions, or as pre-injection solid forms suitable for dissolving in liquid carriers (e.g., lyophilized compositions, reconstituted with preservative-containing sterile water). The compositions can be prepared for topical administration, such as as ointments, creams, or powders. The compositions can be prepared for oral administration, such as as tablets or capsules, as sprays, or as syrups (optionally flavored). The compositions can be prepared for pulmonary administration, such as as inhalants, in the form of fine powders or sprays. The compositions can be prepared as suppositories or uterine pessaries. The compositions can be prepared for nasal, ear, or ocular administration, such as as drops. The compositions can be in the form of kits designed to reconstitute mixed compositions prior to administration to a patient. For example, lyophilized antibodies in kit form, along with sterile water or sterile buffer, can be provided.
[0137] The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention can be administered via any number of routes, including but not limited to: oral, intravenous, intramuscular, intra-arterial, intramedullary, intraperitoneal, intrathecal, intracardiac, transdermal, transcutaneous, topical, subcutaneous, intranasal, intraenteral, sublingual, vaginal, or rectal routes. A needle-free injector (Hypospray) can also be used to administer the pharmaceutical components of the present invention. Typically, the therapeutic compositions can be prepared as injectable liquid solutions or suspensions. They can also be prepared as pre-injection solid forms suitable for dissolving in liquid carriers.
[0138] Direct delivery of drug compositions is typically accomplished via injection, subcutaneous injection, intraperitoneal injection, intravenous injection, or intramuscular injection. Therapeutic doses can be administered in single-dose or multiple-dose regimens. Known fusion protein-based drugs provide instructions regarding dosing frequency, such as whether the drug needs to be administered daily, weekly, or monthly. Frequency and dosage also depend on the severity of symptoms.
[0139] The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention can be administered in pharmaceutically effective amounts. "Pharmaceutically effective amount" refers to an amount sufficient to treat a disease and a reasonable benefit / risk ratio suitable for any medical treatment. The effective dose level of the composition can be determined based on the subject's type, disease severity, age and sex, drug activity, drug sensitivity, time of administration, route of administration, excretion rate, treatment duration, drugs used in combination with the composition, and other known factors in the medical field. The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention can be used alone or in combination with other therapeutic agents, and can be administered sequentially or simultaneously with conventional therapeutic agents. The compositions can be administered in one or more dosage forms. Considering all the above factors, it is crucial to administer the composition at the minimum amount that will produce the maximum effect without causing side effects, which can be readily determined by those skilled in the art.
[0140] The term “treatment” refers to the treatment of diseases in mammals (such as humans) such as cancer, autoimmune diseases, or inflammatory diseases. This includes: (a) suppressing the disease, i.e., stopping its development; and (b) alleviating the disease, i.e. causing the disease state to subside.
[0141] In some preferred embodiments, the cancer includes any form of cancer, including but not limited to solid tumor cancers (e.g., lung cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, bladder cancer, colon cancer, ovarian cancer, pancreatic cancer, kidney cancer, liver cancer, glioblastoma, medulloblastoma, leiomyosarcoma, squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, melanoma, neuroendocrine carcinoma, etc.), and liquid cancers (e.g., hematologic cancers); carcinomas; soft tissue tumors; sarcomas; teratomas; melanomas; leukemia; lymphomas; and brain cancers, including minimal residual disease, and including both primary and metastatic tumors. Any cancer in which cancer cells express CD47 (e.g., in some cases, cancer cells show increased CD47 expression compared to non-cancer cells) is a suitable cancer to be treated by the subject method and composition.
[0142] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to examples. However, those skilled in the art will understand that the following examples are only for illustrating the present invention and should not be regarded as limiting the scope of the present invention.
[0143] Example 1: Construction and expression of SIRPα immunoglobulin fusion protein
[0144] Human SIRPαV2 (amino acids 31-148) was synthesized using the gene sequence of human SIRPαV2 (Genebank sequence number: CAA71403.1) and ligated into the target vector pcDNA3.1 containing the hinge region-Fc fragment of immunoglobulin IgG4 (the hinge region contains the S228P mutation). Primers with corresponding amino acid site mutations were designed based on the nucleotide sequence of the synthesized SIRPαV2. Circular PCR was performed using the vector containing the synthesized SIRPαV2-Fc fragment as a template. After PCR, Dpn I enzyme was added for digestion at 37°C for 1 hour. The target fragment was recovered by 1% agarose gel electrophoresis and then transformed into TOP10 competent cells. After colony growth the next day, single clones were picked and sequenced. Nucleotide sequences completely identical to the target sequence were selected for plasmid extraction for cell transfection. During cell transfection, the plasmid and transfection reagent ExpiFectamine™ 293 were mixed at a ratio of 1:2.7 and allowed to stand for 20 minutes. Then, the mixture was added to 293SQ cells in the logarithmic growth phase and cultured in a cell culture shaker at 37°C, 80% humidity, 8% CO2, and 220 rpm. Enhancers were added the next day, and the cell culture supernatant was collected after 4 days. The target protein was obtained by affinity chromatography using Protein A magnetic beads. The target protein described in Table 7 was obtained.
[0145] The cell secretion supernatant and the target protein purified from Protein A were subjected to SDS-PAGE electrophoresis, and the results are as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown. Among them, Figure 1 This is a non-denatured SDS-PAGE electrophoresis image of the supernatant from the cellular secretion of the target protein. Figure 2 This is a non-denaturing SDS-PAGE electrophoresis image of the target protein after purification with Protein A. Figure 3 This is a denaturing SDS-PAGE electrophoresis image of the target protein after purification with Protein A. Figures 1-3 As can be seen, the protein expression processes of target proteins #6, #13, #14, #17, #18, #21, and #28 are all uneven, while the protein expression processes of target proteins #37, #38, #39, #40, #41, and #42 are uniform.

[0149] Example 2 Blood Agglutination
[0150] Human erythrocytes were diluted to a 4% concentration using PBS, and 25 μL / well was added to a 96-well plate. The test samples and controls were added, with the test samples being target proteins #37, #38, #39, #40, #41, and #42, and the controls being TTI-622 analogs and Hu5F9 analogs (sequence information is shown in Table 8). The plates were incubated together at 37°C for 3 hours and then photographed.
[0151] Figure 4 The results of the coagulation test showed that the Hu5F9 analogue, which has been reported to produce blood agglutination, produced a blood agglutination reaction, while the TTI-622 analogue and #37, #38, #39, #40, #41 and #42 did not produce a blood agglutination reaction.

[0154] Example 3: Binding with red blood cells
[0155] Human erythrocytes were diluted to a concentration of 0.25% with PBS and added to 96-well plates. Then, serially diluted test samples / controls were added. The test samples were target proteins #37, #38, #39, #40, #41, and #42, and the controls were TTI-622 analogs and Hu5F9 analogs, 100 μL / well. The plates were incubated together at 4°C for 1 hour. After washing twice with 1% BSA, 100 μL / well of fluorescently labeled goat anti-human IgG Fc antibody was added, and the plates were reacted at 4°C for 40 minutes. After washing twice with 1% BSA, the fluorescence values were read using a flow cytometer (BD Lyric). The binding curves of the test samples and erythrocytes were fitted to the RS904 plate with the fluorescence values as the Y-axis.

[0173] Example 7 Construction of bispecific antibodies
[0174] The SIRPαV2 D1 domain mutant provided by this invention was used to construct bispecific antibodies by combining a rituximab fragment or a nivolumab fragment with a constant region as shown in SEQ ID NO:59 or SEQ ID NO:60.
[0175] SIRPα-anti-CD20 bispecific antibody (i.e., SIRPαV2 D1 domain mutant-rituximab fragment-constant region bispecific antibody (#46, #47, #48, #49, #50, #51) as shown in SEQ ID NO:59): Specifically, the C-terminus of the SIRPαV2 D1 domain mutant sequence corresponding to the above-mentioned #37, #38, #39, #40, #41, #42 fusion proteins is linked to a linker peptide sequence (GGGGSGGGGS), which is then linked to the N-terminus of the rituximab heavy chain variable region. This, along with the constant region sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO:59, constructs a recombinant heavy chain sequence. The heavy chain sequence from N-terminus to C-terminus is: SIRPαV2 D1 domain mutant, linker peptide (GGGGSGGGGS), rituximab heavy chain variable region, as shown in SEQ ID NO:59. NO:59 indicates the constant region; the light chain is the light chain of anti-CD20 rituximab (see Table 11 for structural information).
[0176] SIRPα-anti-PD-1 bispecific antibody (i.e., SIRPαV2 D1 domain mutant-nivolumab fragment-constant region bispecific antibody (#52, #53, #54, #55) as shown in SEQ ID NO:60): Specifically, the C-terminus of the SIRPαV2 D1 domain mutant sequence corresponding to the above-mentioned #37 and #38 fusion proteins is linked to a linker peptide (GGGGSGGGGSGGGGS), which is then linked to the N-terminus of the variable region of the nivolumab heavy chain. This is combined with the constant region sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO:60 to construct a recombinant heavy chain sequence. From the N-terminus to the C-terminus, the sequence is as follows: SIRPαV2 D1 domain mutant, linker peptide (GGGGSGGGGSGGGGS), nivolumab heavy chain variable region, constant region as shown in SEQ ID NO:60; the light chain is the nivolumab light chain, forming molecules #52 and #54 respectively. The N-terminus of the SIRPαV2D1 domain mutant sequence corresponding to the above-mentioned #37 and #38 fusion proteins was linked to the C-terminus of the constant region as shown in SEQ ID NO:60 via a linker peptide sequence (GGGGSGGGGSGGGGS), constructing a recombinant heavy chain sequence. From the N-terminus to the C-terminus, the sequence is as follows: nivolumab heavy chain variable region, constant region as shown in SEQ ID NO:60, linker peptide (GGGGSGGGGSGGGGSGGGS), SIRPαV2 D1 domain mutant, and light chain is the light chain of nivolumab, forming molecules #53 and #55 respectively (see Table 11 for structural information).

[0179] The DNA fragments corresponding to the above sequences were ligated to the target vectors pcDNA3.1 or pcDNA3.4 to construct recombinant expression vectors. These vectors were then transformed into TOP10 competent cells. After colonies grew the following day, single clones were picked and sent for sequencing. Nucleotide sequences completely identical to the target sequence were selected for plasmid extraction for cell transfection. For cell transfection, the recombinant heavy chain plasmid and light chain plasmid were mixed and incubated with ExpiFectamine™ 293 transfection reagent at a ratio of 1:2.7. After standing for 20 minutes, the mixture was added to 293SQ cells in logarithmic growth phase and cultured in a cell culture shaker at 37°C, 80% humidity, 8% CO2, and 220 rpm. Enhancers were added the following day, and the cell culture supernatant was collected after 4 days. The target protein was obtained by affinity chromatography using Protein A magnetic beads, as shown in Table 12.

After washing with PBST, 5-fold serially diluted mixtures of the test sample / control and His-tagged human PD-L1 antigen (purchased from SinoBiologocal, catalog number 10084-H08H) were added (the test sample was #53 target protein, and the control was a nivolumab analog), 100 μL / well, and incubated at room temperature for 2 hours. After washing with PBST, HRP-labeled anti-His secondary antibody was added, and the plates were incubated at room temperature for 1 hour. After TMB reaction solution was added for color development, the absorbance was read at 450 nm using a microplate reader.
[0226] The results are shown in Table 21. The results show that the target protein #53 exhibits excellent ability to block the binding of PD-1 and PD-L1.

[0229] Example 12 Animal Model Experiment
[0230] Raji cells in the logarithmic growth phase were collected, washed with PBS, and prepared into a single-cell suspension. This suspension was then subcutaneously inoculated into tumors in 6-8 week old NOD-SCID mice until the tumor volume reached approximately 100 mm². 3 Mice were randomly divided into seven groups: experimental group #46, experimental group #47, control group #37 + rituximab analogue, control group #38 + rituximab analogue, control group TTI-622 analogue + rituximab analogue, control group rituximab analogue, and PBS control group. The mice were administered drugs according to the experimental protocol in Table 22. Tumor volume and mouse weight were measured twice weekly to evaluate drug efficacy.

[0232]
[0233] The results are as follows Figure 15 As shown in Table 23, compared with the PBS control group, all other groups effectively inhibited the growth of Raji cells. The tumor growth inhibition rate (TGI) results for each group are shown in Table 23. The tumor volume and body weight of each mouse in each group are shown in Table 24. Figure 16 and Figure 17 As shown, the results indicate that #37 and #38 in combination with rituximab analogues and #46 and #47 bispecific antibodies can effectively inhibit the growth of tumor cells, with little impact on mouse body weight, demonstrating high safety.
