Detailed Implementation
[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0030] Terms and Definitions As used herein, the term "expression vector" can be a viral vector or a non-viral vector, and the viral vector can be an adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector, adenovirus vector, alphavirus vector, herpes simplex virus vector or vaccinia virus vector, Sendai virus vector, flavivirus vector, rod-shaped virus vector, retrovirus vector, herpesvirus vector, poxvirus vector, or lentivirus vector. In this method, the non-viral vector can be a DNA vector, nanoparticles, cationic polymers, exosomes, extracellular vesicles, or liposomes, and the DNA vector can be a plasmid vector, granular vector, phage particle vector, or human artificial chromosome.
[0031] Expression vectors may contain links to encoding NAD + Antibody polynucleotides enable NAD + Antibodies can be overexpressed in host cells with appropriate regulatory sequences, wherein the construct sequence is operatively linked to the polynucleotide. In this case, the regulatory sequence and the NAD-encoding sequence operatively linked thereto are integrated. + Antibody polynucleotides can be referred to as "gene constructs". Gene constructs may contain appropriate restriction enzyme recognition sites at both ends for cloning in expression vectors.
[0032] As used herein, the term "operably linked" refers to the ligation of a nucleic acid sequence of interest (e.g., in an in vitro transcription / translation system or in a host cell) to a regulatory sequence in a manner that enables its expression. The term "regulatory sequence" includes promoters, enhancers, and other regulatory elements (e.g., polyadenylation signals). Regulatory sequences include constitutive elements that guide the constitutive expression of the target nucleic acid in a variety of host cells, and inducible elements that guide the expression of the target nucleic acid only in specific tissues or cells (e.g., tissue-specific regulatory sequences). Those skilled in the art will understand that the design of expression vectors can vary depending on factors such as the choice of host cells to be transformed and the desired level of protein expression. Regulatory sequences that enable expression in eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells are well known to those skilled in the art. As mentioned above, they typically contain a regulatory sequence responsible for the initiation of transcription, and optionally a polyadenylation signal responsible for the termination and stabilization of transcription. In addition to transcriptional regulators, additional regulatory sequences may include translational enhancers and / or naturally bound or heterologous promoter regions. Possible regulatory sequences enabling expression in, for example, mammalian host cells include the CMV-HSV thymidine kinase promoter, the SV40 promoter, the RSV promoter (Rouse sarcoma virus), the human kidney element 1α promoter, the glucocorticoid-inducible MMTV (mouse mammary tumor virus) promoter, the metallothionein-inducible promoter, or the tetracycline-inducible promoter, or enhancers such as the CMV enhancer or the SV40 enhancer. For expression in neurons, neurofilament promoters, PGDF promoters, NSE promoters, PrP promoters, or thy-1 promoters can be considered. These promoters are known in the art and described in the literature (Charron et al., J. Biol. Chem. 270: 25739-25745, 1995, etc.). For expression in prokaryotic cells, numerous promoters have been disclosed, including the lac promoter, the tac promoter, or the trp promoter. In addition to factors capable of initiating transcription, regulatory sequences include transcription termination signals, such as SV40 polyA sites or TK polyA sites downstream of a polynucleotide according to one embodiment of the invention. Suitable expression vectors used herein are known in the art, such as the Okaya-Berg cDNA expression vectors pcDV1 (Parmacia), pRc / CMV, pcDNA1, pcDNA3 (Invitrogen), pSPORT1 (GIBCO BRL), pX (Pagano et al., Science 255:1144-1147, 1992), yeast two-hybrid vectors such as pEG202 and dpJG4-5 (Gyuris et al., Cell 75:791-803, 1995), or prokaryotic expression vectors such as λgt11 or pGEX (Amersham-Pharmacia).In addition to the nucleic acid molecules disclosed in this invention, the vector may further comprise a polynucleotide encoding a secretion signal. Secretion signals are well known to those skilled in the art. Furthermore, depending on the expression system used, a leader sequence capable of guiding the translated protein to a cellular compartment (e.g., the nucleus) is combined with a coding sequence of a polynucleotide according to an embodiment of the invention, wherein the leader sequence is preferably a leader sequence capable of secreting the translated protein into the pericytoplasm or extracellular space.
[0033] Furthermore, the expression vectors used in this invention can be prepared, for example, by standard recombinant DNA techniques, which include, for example, ligation of blunt and sticky ends, treatment with restriction enzymes to provide suitable ends, removal of phosphate groups by alkaline phosphatase treatment to prevent inappropriate binding, and enzymatic ligation by T4 DNA ligase, etc. The vectors of this invention can be prepared by using DNA encoding a signal peptide obtained through chemical synthesis or genetic recombination techniques, or encoding NAD according to an embodiment of the invention. + Antibody DNA is prepared by recombining it into a vector containing appropriate regulatory sequences. Vectors containing regulatory sequences can be purchased or commercially prepared.
[0034] Furthermore, in this method, the gene construct may further contain polynucleotides encoding one or more immunostimulatory peptides. In this case, the immunostimulatory peptide is in the form of a separate regulatory sequence, i.e., a bicistronic form. It is contained in an expression vector or linked to a regulatory sequence, but an internal ribosome entry site (IRES) may be inserted between the polynucleotides encoding two proteins, which are transcribed into a single mRNA and then translated into the respective proteins. The immunostimulatory peptide may be CD28, ICOS (inducible costimulatory factor), CTLA4 (cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated protein 4), PD1 (programmed cell death protein 1), BTLA (B and T lymphocyte-associated protein), DR3 (death receptor 3), 4-1BB, CD2, CD40, CD40L, CD30, CD27, signal transduction lymphocyte activation molecule (SLAM), 2B4 (CD244), NKG2D (natural killer cell family 2, member D) / DAP12 (DNAX activator protein 12). TIM1 (protein 1 containing T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domains), TIM2, TIM3, TIGIT, CD226, CD160, LAG3 (lymphocyte activation gene 3), B7-1, B7-H1, GITR (glucocorticoid-induced TNFR family-associated protein), Flt3 ligand (fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 ligand), flagellin, herpesvirus entry mediator (HVEM), or cytoplasmic domains of OX40L [ligands of CD134 (OX40), CD252], or combinations of two or more thereof.
[0035] The polynucleotides disclosed in this invention, when expressed in higher eukaryotic cells, will enhance transcription when an enhancer sequence is inserted into the vector. Enhancers are cis-acting factors of DNA, typically approximately 10 to 300 base pairs, that act on the promoter to enhance gene transcription. Those skilled in the art will understand how to select appropriate vectors, promoters, enhancers, and host cells.
[0036] As used herein, the term "antibody" refers to a polypeptide that comprises components sufficient to confer antibodies against a specific target antigen (e.g., NAD+). + This refers to the specific binding of canonical immunoglobulin sequence elements. As is known in the art, naturally occurring intact antibodies are tetrameric reagents of about 150 kDa, comprising two identical heavy chain polypeptides (each about 50 kDa) and two identical light chain polypeptides (each about 25 kDa), which associate with each other to form a structure commonly referred to as a “Y-shape.” Each heavy chain contains at least four domains (each about 110 amino acids long): an N-terminal variable (VH) domain (located at the tip of the Y-shape), followed by three constant domains: CHI, CH2, and C-terminal CH3 (located at the base of the Y-stem). A short region called a “switch” connects the heavy chain variable and constant regions. A “hinge” connects the CH2 and CH3 domains to the rest of the antibody. Two disulfide bonds in this hinge region link the two heavy chain polypeptides to each other in the intact antibody. Each light chain contains two domains: an N-terminal variable (VL) domain, followed by a C-terminal constant (CL) domain, separated from each other by another “switch.” Those skilled in the art are familiar with the structural and sequence elements of antibodies, can identify “variable” and “constant” regions in the provided sequence, and understand that there may be some flexibility in defining the “boundaries” between these domains, thereby allowing different representations of the same antibody chain sequence to indicate, for example, the location of such boundaries shifted by one or more residues relative to different representations of the same antibody chain sequence.
[0037] A complete antibody tetramer consists of two heavy-chain-light-chain dimers, where the heavy and light chains are linked together by a single disulfide bond; two additional disulfide bonds link the heavy-chain hinge regions together, thus linking the dimers together to form a tetramer. Naturally occurring antibodies are also glycosylated, typically on the CH2 domain. Each domain in a natural antibody has a structure characterized by an "immunoglobulin fold," formed by two β-sheets (e.g., 3, 4, or 5 folds) stacked on top of each other in compressed antiparallel β-barrels. Each variable domain contains three hypervariable loops called "complementarity-determining regions" (CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3) and four nearly invariant "framework" regions (FR1, FR2, FR3, and FR4). When the natural antibody folds, the FR regions form β-sheets to provide the structural framework of the domain, and the CDR loop regions from both the heavy and light chains aggregate in three-dimensional space, thus forming a single hypervariable antigen-binding site located at the tip of the Y-shaped structure. Naturally occurring antibodies have Fc regions that bind to elements of the complement system and also to receptors on effector cells, including, for example, effector cells that mediate cytotoxicity. As is known in the art, the affinity of the Fc region for Fc receptors and / or other binding properties can be modulated by glycosylation or other modifications. In some embodiments, antibodies generated and / or utilized according to the invention comprise glycosylated Fc domains, including modified or engineered such glycosylated Fc domains.
[0038] For the purposes of this invention, in some embodiments, any polypeptide or polypeptide complex including sufficient immunoglobulin domain sequences found in natural antibodies may be referred to as and / or used as an "antibody," regardless of whether the polypeptide is naturally occurring (e.g., produced by an organism reacting with an antigen) or produced by recombinant engineering, chemical synthesis, or other artificial systems or methods. In some embodiments, the antibody is polyclonal; in some embodiments, the antibody is monoclonal. In some embodiments, the antibody has constant region sequences that are specific to mouse, rabbit, primate, or human antibodies. In some embodiments, as known in the art, the antibody sequence elements are humanized, primate-derived, chimeric, etc.
[0039] As used herein, the term "detection reagent" refers to a reagent that specifically binds to a particular antigen. In some embodiments, the term covers any polypeptide or polypeptide complex that includes sufficient immunoglobulin structural elements to confer specific binding. Exemplary antibody reagents include, but are not limited to, monoclonal or polyclonal antibodies. In some embodiments, antibody reagents may include one or more constant region sequences specific to mouse, rabbit, primate, or human antibodies. In some embodiments, as known in the art, antibody reagents may include one or more humanized, primate-like, chimeric, etc., sequence elements. In many embodiments, the term "detection reagent" is used to refer to one or more constructs or forms known or developed in the art for utilizing the structural and functional characteristics of antibodies in alternative representations.
[0040] As used in this article, the term "specific binding" refers to NAD. + Antibodies can preferably bind to binding couplers, such as NAD+, in competitive binding assays. + The evaluation may be conducted using recombinant forms of proteins, epitopes therein, or native proteins present on the surface of isolated target cells. Competitive binding assays and other methods for determining specific binding are further described below and are well known in the art.
[0041] As used herein, the term "affinity" refers to the strength of binding between an antibody or protein and an epitope. The affinity of an antibody is given by the dissociation constant KD, defined as [Ab] × [Ag] / [Ab-Ag], where [Ab-Ag] is the molar concentration of the antibody-antigen complex, [Ab] is the molar concentration of unbound antibody, and [Ag] is the molar concentration of unbound antigen. The affinity constant KA is defined by 1 / KD. Preferred methods for determining protein affinity can be found in Har low et al., “Antibodies: A Laboratory Manual,” Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, Cold Spring Harbor, New York (1988); Coligan et al. (eds.), “Current Protocols in Immunology,” Greene Publishing Assoc and Wiley Interscience, New York (1992, 1993); and Muller, Meth. Enzymol., Vol. 92: pp. 589–601 (1983). A preferred standard method well known in the art for determining protein affinity is the use of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) screening (such as by analysis with the BIAcore™ SPR analysis device).
[0042] As used herein, the terms “identity” or “similarity” when used in relation to the sequences of two or more polypeptides refer to the degree of sequence correlation between the polypeptides, as determined by the number of matches between chains of two or more amino acid residues. “Identity” measures the percentage of identical matches between smaller sequences of two or more sequences with vacancy alignments (if any), resolved by a specific mathematical model or computer program (i.e., an “algorithm”). The identity of related polypeptides can be readily calculated using known methods. Such methods include, but are not limited to, those described in the following literature: “Computational Molecular Biology,” edited by Lesk, AM, Oxford University Press, New York, 1988; “Biocomputing: Informatics and Genome Projects,” edited by Smith, DW, Academic Press, New York, 1993; “Computer Analysis of Sequence Data, Part 1,” edited by Griffin, AM and Griffin, HG, Humana Press, New Jersey, 1994; “Sequence Analysis in Molecular Biology,” von Heinje, G., Academic Press, 1987; “Sequence Analysis Primers,” edited by Gribskov, M. and Devereux, J., M. Stockton Press. Press), New York, 1991; and Carillo et al., Journal of Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM J. Applied Math.), Vol. 48, p. 1073 (1988).
[0043] The preferred method for determining identity is designed to give the maximum match between the sequences being tested. Methods for determining identity are described in publicly available computer programs. Preferred computer program methods for determining identity between two sequences include the GCG package, including GAP (Devereux et al., Nucl. Acid. Res.), Vol. 12, p. 387 (1984); the Genetics Computer Group, University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wisconsin; BLASTP, BLASTN, and FASTA (Altschul et al., J. Mol. Biol., Vol. 215, pp. 403-410 (1990)). The BLASTX procedure is publicly available from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) and other sources (“BLAST Manual”, Altschul et al., NCB / NLM / NIH, Bethesda, MD, 20894; Altschul et al., ibid.). The well-known Smith-Waterman algorithm can also be used to determine identity.
[0044] As used herein, the term "antigen" refers to a structure that an antibody can selectively bind to. In some embodiments, the target antigen is NAD+. + In some implementations, the antigen is associated with a cell, for example, it is present on or within the cell.
[0045] As used in this article, “containing,” “having,” or “including” includes “containing,” “mainly composed of,” “substantially composed of,” and “composed of”; “mainly composed of,” “substantially composed of,” and “composed of” are subordinate concepts of “containing,” “having,” or “including.”
[0046] Unless otherwise specified, the experimental methods used in the following examples are conventional methods, and the reagents, methods and equipment used are conventional reagents, methods and equipment in this technical field.
