AI Technical Summary
Existing therapies for targeting Frizzled receptors in cancers, particularly those involving aberrant Wnt signaling, are challenging due to the complexity of the Wnt pathway activation downstream of cell surface receptors, and cancer stem cells exhibit drug resistance and tumor recurrence.
Development of antibodies that specifically bind to the cysteine-rich domains of Frizzled receptors (FZD1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, and 9) with defined complementarity determining regions (CDRs), inhibiting Wnt ligand binding and modulating signaling pathways to treat various cancers.
The antibodies effectively inhibit Wnt signaling, reduce cancer cell proliferation, and target cancer stem cells, offering therapeutic potential for cancers such as acute myeloid leukemia, neuroblastoma, and pancreatic cancer by blocking Wnt-dependent signaling and promoting β-catenin accumulation.

Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] Field The present disclosure relates to antibodies that bind to frizzled receptors, in particular, antibodies that bind to the frizzled receptor 4 cysteine-rich domain, and uses thereof.
[0002] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application claims the benefit of the priority dates of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 885,781, filed August 12, 2019, and U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 886,292, filed August 13, 2019, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. [Background technology]
[0003] background Frizzled receptors (FZDs) are an important class of seven-transmembrane receptors involved in many important biological processes such as development, cell proliferation, survival, migration, and stem cell maintenance. In adult animals, signaling pathways are activated when Wnt ligands interact with the Frizzled family of seven-transmembrane receptors, controlling the renewal and cell differentiation of stem and progenitor cells during embryonic development and tissue homeostasis. Aberrant expression and signaling of these receptors and their ligands (Wnts) have been linked to numerous cancers, including colon, lung, breast, and ovarian cancers. In many cases, multiple Wnt ligands and / or frizzled receptors are upregulated, resulting in aberrant signaling that promotes tumorigenesis. Thus, inhibition of multiple frizzled receptors may be necessary to achieve even better anticancer effects. In addition, frizzled receptors are also involved in cancer stem cells, a small population of cancer cells that are believed to be responsible for drug resistance, tumor recurrence, and metastasis. Thus, inhibition of FZD receptors, including FZD4 (either one or more receptors), may be an effective method to target cancer stem cells and treat various types of cancer.
[0004] Wnt signaling leads to the activation of canonical and non-canonical signaling pathways. The non-canonical pathway activates signaling molecules that do not involve the nucleus or transcription, but rather activate cytoplasmic signals that regulate the cytoskeleton and calcium levels. This pathway primarily plays a role in regulating cell polarity or migration.
[0005] The classical pathway primarily controls transcriptional activity by regulating the cytoplasmic levels of β-catenin. In the unstimulated state, β-catenin associates with a degradation complex composed of Axin, APC, CD1, and GSKβ, which leads to phosphorylation, ubiquitination, and proteasomal degradation of β-catenin. Wnt signaling is active when Wnt binds to the frizzled (FDZ) seven-transmembrane receptor and the co-receptor low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein (either LRP5 or LRP6). This signaling destabilizes the complex, in part, by attracting disheveled (Dsh / Dvl) to the plasma membrane, leading to the accumulation of β-catenin, which translocates to the nucleus and activates TCF / LEF-mediated transcription.
[0006] Several human cancers are caused by mutations within the cytoplasmic components of the WNT pathway, leading to ligand-independent activation of Wnt target genes. For example, inactivating APC mutations and activating β-catenin mutations are the major underlying causes in human colorectal cancer. Because this pathway is activated downstream of cell surface receptors, developing targeted therapies against the Wnt pathway has proven challenging. However, in recent years, cancers have been identified that cause mutations in RNF43 (colon, endometrial, pancreatic, gastric, ovarian, and hepatic cancers) and its homolog ZNRF3 (adrenocortical carcinoma and osteosarcoma), negative regulators of Wnt signaling, implying ligand-dependent tumor growth. Indeed, RNF43 and ZNRF3 are Wnt target genes that encode transmembrane E3 ubiquitin ligases that target Frizzled receptors, and loss-of-function mutations in them can lead to high expression of FZDs, rendering tumor cells sensitive to inhibition of Wnt-dependent signaling.

[0031] [Figure 1] Figure 1 is a graph showing the binding of phage clones to FZD4-CRD-Fc and Fc. Single colonies were used to inoculate 96-well culture plates and overnight phage supernatants were diluted 1:2 in 0.05% Tween20 / 0.5% BSA / PBS (dilution buffer) and tested for binding by ELISA. Phages were detected using anti-M13-HRP secondary antibody (1:5000 in dilution buffer) and plates were developed with TMB substrate and acid stopper. Absorbance was read at 450 nm for FZD4-Fc-coated and control Fc-coated wells as indicated. [Diagram 2]Figure 2 is a graph showing competitive ELISA binding of anti-FZD4 Fabs. ELISA was performed to estimate the affinity of the FZD4 Fab panel. 384-well ELISA plates were coated with 2 μg / ml FZD4 CRD-Fc (R&D systems) in PBS overnight at 4°C. Plates were blocked with 0.5% BSA / PBS for 1 h at room temperature and then washed three times with 0.05% Tween20 / PBS. Fabs at a final concentration of 0.5 μg / ml were pre-incubated in non-binding 96-well ELISA plates with solutions of FZD4 CRD-Fc at the indicated concentrations (in 0.05% Tween20 / 0.5% BSA / PBS) for 1 h at room temperature. The Fab-antigen mixture was transferred to the 384-well plate and incubated at room temperature for 20 min. Plates were washed six times and bound Fab was detected with anti-FLAG-HRP secondary antibody (Sigma) at 1:5000 in 0.05% Tween20 / 0.5% BSA / PBS. Secondary antibody was incubated for 45 minutes at room temperature, plates were washed and then developed with TMB substrate with acid stopper. Absorbance was read at 450 nm. % binding was calculated by dividing the absorbance of Fab wells with competing soluble FZD4 CRD-Fc by the absorbance of Fab wells without competing soluble FZD4 CRD-Fc and multiplying by 100. [Figure 3-1] Figure 3 is a series of immunofluorescence staining photographs showing binding of anti-FZD4 Fab to FZD expressed on CHO cells.

[Figure 12]Figure 12A-B is a series of graphs showing inhibition of WNT5A binding by anti-FZD4 Fab. (A) Wnt5a (R&D systems) was biotinylated using a commercial kit (Thermo 21329 EZ-link NHS-PEG4-Biotin) and excess biotin was removed by buffer exchange using a 3000 MWCO Amicon filter. FZD4-CRD-Fc or control Fc protein (R&D systems) was diluted to the indicated concentrations in 1% BSA / 0.05% Tween20 / PBS (dilution buffer) and incubated with a constant amount of biotinylated Wnt5a for 1 h at room temperature in a BSA-blocked 96-well TC-treated plate. Control wells were also included in which only buffer was added instead of biotinylated wnt5a. Biotinylated Wnt5a was added at a final concentration of 150 ng / ul. Samples were transferred to pre-blocked streptavidin-coated plates (R&D systems) and allowed to capture for 1 h at room temperature. Wells were washed 4 times with 0.05% Tween20 / PBS, then anti-Fc-HRP (1:5000 in dilution buffer, Jackson Immuno) was added to the wells for 45 minutes at room temperature. Wells were washed 4 times and developed with TMB reagent with acid stopper. Absorbance was read at 450 nm. (B) FZD4-CRD-Fc was diluted to the concentrations previously determined in (A) to obtain an ELISA signal within the linear range and incubated with the desired Fab or buffer control for 1 hour at room temperature in a 96-well TC plate pre-blocked with 1% BSA. Control wells containing Fc protein were also included as above. Biotinylated wnt5a was added to the wells and the plate was incubated for an additional hour. Control wells were also included where only buffer was added instead of biotinylated wnt5a. Biotinylated Wnt5a was added to a final concentration of 150 ng / ul. Fab proteins were at a final concentration of 400 nM, except for Fab 6494 at 180 nM, Fab 6406 at 135 nM, and Fab 6500 at 159 nM. Negative control Fabs specific for different protein antigens were included, as well as a control for the effect from the neutralized elution buffer in which the Fab proteins were stored (Fab buffer control).

[Figure 16] Figure 16 is a summary table of anti-FZD4 Fabs, where na means not tested. Antiproliferative activity appears to be related to binding to FZD 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, and inhibition of wnt3a activity. The most potent inhibitors shown in this assay are 5014, 5019-5023, and 6495.

[0032] Detailed Description of the Disclosure I. Definition Unless otherwise defined, scientific and technical terms used in connection with this disclosure shall have the meanings commonly understood by those skilled in the art. Furthermore, unless otherwise required by context, singular terms shall include plural, and plural terms shall include singular. For example, the term "cell" includes a single cell, as well as a plurality of cells, or a population of cells. In general, the nomenclature utilized in connection with cell and tissue culture, molecular biology, and protein and oligonucleotide or polynucleotide chemistry and hybridization described herein, as well as the techniques thereof, are well known and commonly used in the art (see, for example, Green and Sambrook, 2012).
[0033] As used herein, the term "polypeptide" refers to a molecule having a sequence of natural and / or non-natural amino acids linked via peptide bonds. The term "peptide" refers to a short polypeptide, typically 30 amino acids long or less. The amino acid sequence of a polypeptide is referred to as its "primary structure". The term "protein" refers to a polypeptide having secondary, tertiary, and / or quaternary structure, e.g., a structure stabilized by hydrogen bonds, a relationship between the secondary structure and a structure formed from multiple proteins. Proteins may be further modified by other binding moieties, e.g., carbohydrates (glycoproteins), lipids (lipoproteins), phosphate groups (phosphoproteins), etc.
[0034] As used herein, an amino acid sequence "consists" of only the amino acids in that sequence.
[0035] As used herein, a first amino acid sequence "consists essentially of" a second amino acid sequence if the first amino acid sequence (1) comprises the second amino acid sequence and (2) is no more than 1, 2, or 3 amino acids longer than the second amino acid sequence.
[0036] As used herein, when a second amino acid sequence comprises a first amino acid sequence, the first amino acid sequence is a "fragment" of the second amino acid sequence. In certain embodiments, a first amino acid sequence that is a fragment of a second amino acid sequence may have 1 or less, 2 or less, 3 or less, 4 or less, 5 or less, 6 or less, 7 or less, 8 or less, 9 or less, or 10 or less amino acids fewer than the second amino acid sequence.
[0037] As used herein, the "functional equivalent" of a reference amino acid sequence is a sequence that is not identical to the reference sequence, but contains minor changes, such as, for example, the insertion, deletion, or substitution of one or several amino acids. A functionally equivalent sequence retains the function (e.g., immunogenicity) of the reference sequence to which it is equivalent. When a functionally equivalent amino acid sequence contains one or more amino acid substitutions to a reference sequence, these are generally conservative amino acid substitutions.
[0038] As used herein, a "conservative amino acid substitution" refers to one amino acid residue that is replaced by another without losing the desired properties of the protein. Suitable conservative amino acid substitutions can be made by substituting amino acids with similar hydrophobicity, polarity, and R chain length for each other. See, for example, Watson, et al., "Molecular Biology of the Gene," 4th Edition, 1987, The Benjamin / Cummings Pub. Co., Menlo Park, CA, p. 224. Examples of conservative amino acid substitutions include (note that some categories are not mutually exclusive):
[0039] TIFF2024153733000002.tif50133
[0040] As used herein, the term "substantially identical" refers to identity between a first amino acid sequence that includes a sufficient or a minimum number of amino acid residues that are (i) identical to aligned amino acid residues in the second amino acid sequence or (ii) conservative substitutions of aligned amino acid residues in the second amino acid sequence, such that the first and second amino acid sequences have a common structural domain and / or a common functional activity and / or a common immunogenicity. For example, amino acid sequences that include a common structural or antigenic domain that have at least about 90%, at least about 91%, at least about 92%, at least about 93%, at least about 94%, at least about 95%, at least about 96%, at least about 97%, at least about 98%, or at least about 99% identity are said to be sufficiently or substantially identical. In the context of nucleotide sequences, the term "substantially identical" is used herein to refer to a first nucleic acid sequence that contains a sufficient or a minimum number of nucleotides that are identical to aligned nucleotides in a second nucleic acid sequence such that the first and second nucleotide sequences encode a polypeptide having a common functional activity, or encode a common structural polypeptide domain or a common functional polypeptide activity, or encode a polypeptide having the same immunogenic properties.
[0041] As used herein, the terms "antigen", "immunogen" and "antibody target" refer to a molecule, compound or complex that can be recognized by antibody, i.e., can be bound by antibody.The term can refer to any molecule that can be recognized by antibody, such as a polypeptide, a polynucleotide, a carbohydrate, a lipid, a chemical moiety, or a combination thereof (such as a phosphorylated polypeptide or a glycosylated polypeptide).Those skilled in the art will understand that the term does not indicate that a molecule is immunogenic in all circumstances, but simply indicates that it can be targeted by antibody.
[0042] As used herein, the term "epitope" refers to the localized site on an antigen that is recognized and bound by an antibody.Epitope can comprise a few amino acids, or a portion of a few amino acids, for example, 5 or 6 or more, for example, 20 or more amino acids, or a portion of these amino acids.In some cases, epitopes comprise non-protein components, for example, from carbohydrates, nucleic acids, or lipids.In some cases, epitopes are three-dimensional parts.Thus, for example, when the target is a protein, epitopes can be composed of consecutive amino acids, or amino acids from different parts of the protein that are brought into close proximity by folding of the protein (for example, discontinuous epitopes).
[0043] As used herein, the term "antibody" refers to an immunoglobulin that recognizes and specifically binds to one or more target antigens, such as proteins, polypeptides, peptides, carbohydrates, polynucleotides, lipids, or combinations thereof. This binding occurs through at least one antigen recognition site in the variable region of the immunoglobulin, to one or more epitopes on the antigen. The variable region is of utmost importance for binding specificity and affinity. As used herein, the term "antibody" encompasses intact polyclonal antibodies, intact monoclonal antibodies, antibody fragments, single-chain Fv (scFv) variants, multispecific antibodies, chimeric antibodies, humanized antibodies, human antibodies, hybrid antibodies, fusion proteins, and any other immunoglobulin molecule that contains an antigen recognition site, so long as the antibody exhibits the desired biological activity. Antibodies can be of (i) any of the five major classes of immunoglobulins based on the identity of their heavy chain constant domains-α (IgA), δ (IgD), ε (IgE), γ (IgG), and μ (IgM), or (ii) their subclasses (isotypes) (e.g., IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgA1, and IgA2). The light chains can be either λ or κ. Antibodies can be naked or conjugated to other molecules, e.g., toxins, drugs, radioisotopes, chemotherapeutic agents, etc.
[0044] In one embodiment, an "intact antibody" comprises a tetramer composed of two identical pairs of polypeptide chains, each pair having one "light" chain (about 25 kD) and one "heavy" chain (about 50-70 kD). The heavy and light chains are linked via covalent and non-covalent bonds (e.g., disulfide bonds) that vary in number and amount among the various immunoglobulin classes. In one embodiment, each chain comprises a variable region and a constant region. The antigen recognition site of the variable region is composed of a hypervariable region or complementarity determining region (CDR) and a framework region. The framework region typically does not contact the antigen, but provides structural support for the CDRs. The constant region interacts with other immune cells of the body. Between the constant region and the variable region (only IgG, IgD, IgA, not IgM or IgE), in the middle between the two heavy chains, there is a hinge region that provides flexibility to link antigen binding.
[0045] Below is a non-exhaustive list of different antibody forms that all retain antigen-binding activity: (1) Whole immunoglobulin (also called an "intact" antibody) (two light chains and two heavy chains, e.g., a tetramer). (2) An immunoglobulin polypeptide (light or heavy chain). (3) Antibody fragments, such as Fv (monovalent or bivalent variable region fragments), are fragments of a variable region (e.g., V L and / or V H ), Fab(V L C L V H C H ), F(ab')2, Fv(V L V H ), scFv (single chain Fv) (V linked by a linker, e.g., a peptide linker L and V H (a polypeptide comprising a CH3 domain), (scFv)2, sc(Fv)2, bispecific sc(Fv)2, bispecific (scFv)2, minibodies (sc(Fv)2 fused to a CH3 domain), and triabodies are trivalent sc(Fv)3 or trispecific sc(Fv)3. (4) Multivalent antibodies (antibodies that contain binding regions that bind two different epitopes or proteins, e.g., "scorpion" antibodies. (5) Fusion proteins, which contain the binding portion of an immunoglobulin fused to another amino acid sequence (such as a fluorescent protein).
[0046] As used herein, the term "antibody fragment" refers to a portion or part of an antibody or antibody chain that contains fewer amino acid residues than an intact or complete antibody or antibody chain and binds to an antigen or competes with the intact antibody. Fragments can be obtained by chemical or enzymatic treatment of an intact or complete antibody or antibody chain. Fragments can also be obtained by recombinant means. For example, F(ab')2 fragments can be generated by treating an antibody with pepsin. The resulting F(ab')2 fragments can be treated to reduce disulfide bridges to generate Fab' fragments. Papain digestion can result in the formation of Fab fragments. Fab, Fab' and F(ab')2, scFv, dsFv, ds-scFv, dimers, minibodies, diabodies, bispecific antibody fragments, and other fragments can also be constructed by recombinant expression techniques.
[0047] Although various antibody fragments have been defined in terms of the products of digestion of intact antibodies, those skilled in the art will understand that such fragments may also be synthesized chemically de novo or constructed and expressed using recombinant DNA methodologies.
[0048] A single chain Fv (scFv) is a VFv that is linked by a linker, e.g., a peptide linker. L and V HscFvs refer to polypeptides comprising: scFvs can also be used to form tandem (or bivalent) scFvs or diabodies. The generation and properties of tandem scFvs and diabodies are described, for example, in Asano et al. (2011) J Biol. Chem. 286: 1812; Kenanova et al. (2010) Prot Eng Design Sel 23: 789; Asano et al. (2008) Prot Eng Design Sel 21: 597.
[0049] Antibody fragments further include Fd antibodies (the portion of the heavy chain contained in the Fab fragment) and single domain antibodies. Single domain antibodies (sdAbs) are variable domains of either the heavy or light chain that are produced by recombinant methods.
[0050] The phrase "set of CDR sequences" as used herein refers to the three heavy chain CDRs and / or three light chain CDRs of a particular antibody described herein. A "light chain" CDR sequence set refers to the light chain CDR sequences. A "heavy chain" CDR sequence set refers to the heavy chain CDR sequences. A "complete" CDR sequence set refers to both the heavy chain CDR sequences and the light chain CDR sequences. For example, for antibody 5017, the complete CDR sequence set includes or consists of SVSSA (CDR L1) (SEQ ID NO: 103), SASSLYS (CDR L2) (SEQ ID NO: 104), AAYHWPPLF (CDR L3) (SEQ ID NO: 148), LYYTDM (CDR H1) (SEQ ID NO: 149), SISLFFGYVS (CDR H2) (SEQ ID NO: 150), and YLAM (CDR H3) (SEQ ID NO: 151), as shown in Table 1a. The CDR sequence for each CDR can, for example, include, consist essentially of, or consist of the CDRs of Table 1a or 3a. The CDRs are predicted based on IMGT sequence alignments.
[0051] As used herein, the term "monoclonal antibody" refers to a clonal preparation or composition of antibodies having a single binding specificity and affinity for a given epitope on an antigen (a "monoclonal antibody composition"). A "polyclonal antibody" refers to a preparation or composition of antibodies raised against a single antigen but with differing binding specificities and affinities (a "polyclonal antibody composition").
[0052] As used herein, the term "chimeric antibody" refers to an antibody having amino acid sequences derived from two or more species. In one embodiment, the variable regions of both the light and heavy chains correspond to the variable regions of an antibody derived from one species of mammal (e.g., mouse, rat, rabbit, etc.) with the desired specificity, affinity, and capacity, while the constant regions are homologous to sequences derived from another species (typically in the subject being treated, e.g., human) to avoid eliciting an immune response.
[0053] As used herein, the term "humanized antibody" refers to a chimeric antibody in which CDRs derived from the VH and VL regions of a non-human antibody with desired specificity, affinity, and capacity are grafted onto human framework sequences. In one embodiment, framework residues of the humanized antibody are modified to improve and optimize the specificity, affinity, and capacity of the antibody. Humanization, i.e., replacement of non-human CDR sequences with the corresponding sequences of a human antibody, can be carried out according to the methods described, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,545,806, 5,569,825, 5,633,425, 5,661,016, Riechmann et al., Nature 332: 323-327(1988); Marks et al., Bio / Technology 10: 779-783(1992); Morrison, Nature 368: 812-13(1994); Fishwild et al., Nature Biotechnology 14: 845-51(1996).
[0054] As used herein, the term "human antibody" refers to an antibody produced by a human or an antibody having a corresponding amino acid sequence produced by any technique known in the art.
[0055] As used herein, the term "hybrid antibody" refers to an antibody in which a pair of heavy and light chains from antibodies with different antigenic determinant regions are assembled together such that the resulting tetramer can recognize and bind two different epitopes or two different antigens. Hybrid antibodies can be bispecific (binding to two different antigens or epitopes) or multispecific (binding to more than one different antigen or epitope).
[0056] As used herein, an antibody is "monospecific" if all of its antigen-binding sites bind to the same epitope.
[0057] As used herein, an antibody is "bispecific" if it has at least two different antigen-binding sites that each bind to a different epitope or antigen.
[0058] As used herein, an antibody is "multivalent" if it has multiple antigen-binding sites. For example, a tetravalent antibody has four antigen-binding sites.
[0059] Specificity of binding can be defined in terms of the comparative dissociation constant (Kd) of the antibody (or other targeting moiety) for the target, compared to the dissociation constants for the antibody and other materials in the environment, or generally unrelated molecules. d represents a relatively low affinity interaction, K d Conversely, a relatively small (relatively low) K d represents a relatively high affinity interaction or relatively tight binding, K d By way of example only, the K of an antibody that specifically binds to a target is dcan be femtomolar, picomolar, nanomolar or micromolar and is the K of the antibody binding to unrelated material d The binding affinity can be in the micromolar range (kD=10 -4 ~10 -6 ), nanomolar range (kD=10 -7 M~10 -9 M), picomolar range (kD = 10 -10 M~10 -12 M), or in the femtomolar range (kD = 10 -13 M~10 -15 M).
[0060] As used herein, an antibody is -4 An agent "binds" to or "recognizes" an antigen or epitope if it binds to the antigen or epitope with a Kd of less than M (i.e., in the micromolar range). The term "binds" in reference to a cell type (e.g., an antibody that binds to cancer cells) typically indicates that the agent binds to the majority of cells in a pure population of those cells. For example, an antibody that binds to a given cell type typically binds to at least 2 / 3 (e.g., 67, 75, 80, 85, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, or 100%) of the cells in the population of cells shown. In some cases, binding to a polypeptide can be assayed by comparing the binding of the antibody to cells that display the polypeptide with the binding (or lack thereof) of the antibody to cells that do not express the polypeptide. Those skilled in the art will recognize that some variation occurs depending on the method and / or threshold value that determines binding. The affinity of an antibody for a target can be determined according to methods known in the art, for example, as reviewed in Ernst et al. Determination of Equilibrium Dissociation Constants, Therapeutic Monoclonal Antibodies (Wiley & Sons ed. 2009).
[0061] As used herein, the term "relatively greater affinity" refers to the ability of antibody X to bind to target Y more strongly than to target Z (K on ) and / or the dissociation constant (K off ) is small, in this context, antibody X has a greater affinity for target Y than Z. Similarly, the term "relatively low affinity" herein refers to the degree of antibody binding where antibody X binds to target Y with a weaker and / or larger dissociation constant than target Z, in this context, antibody X has a lesser affinity for target Y than Z. The affinity of binding between an antibody and its target antigen is determined by the following formula: 1 / K D Equal to K A where K D k on / k off is equal to k on and k off The value of can be measured using surface plasmon resonance technology, for example, using the Molecular Affinity Screening System (MASS-1) (Sierra Sensors GmbH, Hamburg, Germany). Antagonists or blocking antibodies are antibodies that partially or completely block or neutralize the biological activity associated with the target antigen, compared to the activity under similar physiological conditions in the absence of the antibody. Antagonists can be competitive, non-competitive, or irreversible. Competitive antagonists are substances that bind to the natural ligand or receptor at the same site as the natural ligand-receptor interaction, or bind allosterically in a manner that induces a change that prevents normal binding. Non-competitive antagonists bind at a site different from the natural ligand-receptor interaction, but reduce the KD or signal resulting from the interaction. Irreversible inhibitors cause covalent modifications to the receptor, preventing any subsequent binding.
[0062] As used herein, the term "avidity" refers to the overall stability of the binding complex between antibody and target antigen.It is defined by three factors: (i) the inherent affinity of antibody to antigen, (2) the binding valency of antibody, and (3) the geometric arrangement of interacting components.Affinity is the strength of the interaction between antibody and a single target, whereas avidity is the cumulative strength of multiple affinities.In one aspect, the antibody disclosed herein is bivalent.
[0063] As used herein, an antibody "preferentially binds" a first antigen compared to a second antigen if it binds the first antigen with greater affinity than the second antigen. Preferential binding can be at least any of 2-fold, 5-fold, 9-fold, 10-fold, 20-fold, 30-fold, 40-fold, 50-fold, 100-fold, 500-fold, or 1000-fold greater affinity. Thus, for example, an antibody preferentially binds a first FZD protein compared to a second FZD protein if it binds the first FZD protein with greater affinity than it binds the second FZD protein.
[0064] As used herein, an antibody is defined as a concentration of 1×10 -6 M, 1×10 -7 M, 1×10 -8 M, 1×10 -9 M, 1×10 -10 M, 1×10 -11 M, 1×10 -12 An antibody "specifically binds" or is "specific" for a target antigen, or for a target group of antigens, if it binds to the target antigen, or each member of the target group of antigens, with at least some affinity of M, e.g., with an affinity that is at least twice its affinity for a non-target antigen being compared. Typically, specific binding is characterized by binding to an antigen with sufficient affinity that the antibody is useful as a diagnostic agent for detecting the antigen or epitope and / or as a therapeutic agent in targeting the antigen or epitope.
[0065] When an antibody specifically binds to a target group of proteins (e.g., some or all members of the Frizzled protein family), the binding affinity of the antibody to the weakest binding target group member is greater than the binding affinity of the antibody to a non-target antigen. In one embodiment, an antibody that specifically binds to each of the cysteine-rich domains (CRDs) of one or more human Frizzled (FZD) receptors selected from FZD 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9 more generally refers to an antibody that specifically binds to the selected member of this group compared to non-selected group members or other antigens. Thus, for example, an antibody that specifically binds to the cysteine-rich domains of the target group consisting of FZD1, FZD2, FZD4, FZD5, and FZD7 specifically binds to these proteins and does not specifically bind to FZD3, FZD8, FZD9, and FZD10.
[0066] As used herein, an antibody "blocks" or "antagonizes" the binding of a ligand to a receptor if it competitively reduces or prevents any interaction between the ligand and the receptor. In one embodiment, the measured reduction level can be at least 5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 80%, 90%, 95%, 97.5%, 99%, 99.5%, 99.9% of control (e.g., untreated) cells. For example, an antibody that antagonizes or blocks the binding of a Wnt ligand to a FZD receptor competitively reduces or prevents the interaction of a Wnt protein with the FZD receptor. This attenuates or blocks downstream signaling events associated with Wnt signaling. This includes, for example, the activation of disheveled, dissolution of β-catenin degradation complex, reduction of cytosolic levels of β-catenin, and / or reduction of the activity of TCF / LEF-mediated transcription.
[0067] The term "capture" with respect to an antibody target (e.g., an antigen, an analyte, an immune complex) typically indicates that the antibody binds to a majority of the antibody target in a pure population (assuming the appropriate molar ratio). For example, an antibody that binds to a given antibody target typically binds at least 2 / 3 of the antibody target in solution (e.g., at least any of 67, 75, 80, 85, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, or 100%). Those skilled in the art will recognize that some variation occurs depending on the method and / or threshold value for determining binding.
[0068] The term "conjugate" refers to a first molecule, e.g., an antibody, that is chemically linked to a moiety, such as a detectable label, or a biologically active moiety, such as a drug, a toxin, or a chemotherapeutic or cytotoxic agent (an "immunoconjugate"). Thus, the present disclosure contemplates antibodies that are conjugated to one or more moieties. Furthermore, an antibody can be a "conjugated antibody" or an "unconjugated antibody" (i.e., not conjugated to a moiety).
[0069] As used herein, the term "antibody-drug conjugate" or ("ADC") refers to an antibody conjugated with a drug. Typically, the conjugation involves covalent attachment via a linker.
[0070] As used herein, the term "labeled" molecule (e.g., a nucleic acid, protein, or antibody) refers to a molecule that is attached to a detectable label, either covalently via a linker or chemical bond, or non-covalently via ionic, van der Waals, electrostatic, or hydrogen bonds, such that the presence of the molecule can be detected by detecting the presence of the detectable label attached to the molecule.
[0071] As used herein, the term "detectable label" refers to a composition that can be detected by spectroscopic, photochemical, biochemical, immunochemical, chemical, or other physical means. Examples of detectable labels are described herein, and examples of detectable labels include, but are not limited to, colorimetric labels, fluorescent labels, chemiluminescent labels, enzyme labels, and radioactive labels. For the purposes of this disclosure, detectable labels can also be moieties that do not generate a signal themselves (e.g., biotin) but bind to a second moiety that can generate a signal (e.g., labeled avidin).
[0072] The term "crosslinked" with respect to an antibody refers to the attachment of the antibody to a solid or semi-solid matrix (e.g., sepharose, beads, microtiter plate), or to another protein or antibody. For example, antibodies can be multimerized to create antibody complexes with multiple (more than two) antigen binding sites. Antibodies can be multimerized by expressing them as high valency isotypes (e.g., IgA or IgM, which typically form complexes of two or five antibodies, respectively). Multimerization of antibodies can also be performed by using crosslinkers that contain reactive groups (e.g., carbodiimides, NHS esters, etc.) that can link proteins. Methods and compositions for crosslinking antibodies to matrices are described, for example, in the catalogs and websites of Abcam and New England Biolab (available at abcam.com and neb.com). Crosslinker compounds with various reactive groups are described, for example, in the catalogs and websites of Thermo Fisher Scientific (available at piercenet.com).
[0073] As used herein, the term "immunoassay" refers to a method of detecting an analyte by detecting binding between the analyte and an antibody that recognizes the analyte.
[0074] As used herein, the term "expression construct" refers to a polynucleotide that contains an expression control sequence operably linked to a heterologous nucleotide sequence to be expressed (i.e., a sequence to which the expression control sequence is not normally linked in nature). As used herein, the term "expression vector" refers to a polynucleotide that contains an expression construct and a sequence sufficient for replication in a host cell or insertion into a host chromosome. Plasmids and viruses are examples of expression vectors. As used herein, the term "expression control sequence" refers to a nucleotide sequence that regulates the transcription and / or translation of a nucleotide sequence operably linked to it. Expression control sequences include promoters, enhancers, repressors (transcriptional regulatory sequences), and ribosome binding sites (translational regulatory sequences).
[0075] The term "vector" as used herein includes any intermediate vehicle for a nucleic acid molecule that allows the nucleic acid molecule to be introduced into, for example, a prokaryotic and / or eukaryotic cell and / or integrated into a genome, including a plasmid, a phagemid, a bacteriophage, or a viral vector, such as a retrovirus-based vector, an adeno-associated viral vector, etc. As used herein, the term "plasmid" generally refers to a construct of extrachromosomal genetic material, usually a circular DNA double strand, that can replicate independently of chromosomal DNA.
[0076] As used herein, a nucleotide sequence is "operably linked" to an expression control sequence if the expression control sequence functions in a cell to control the transcription of the nucleotide sequence, including promoting transcription of the nucleotide sequence through interaction between a polymerase and a promoter.
[0077] As used herein, a "host cell" refers to a recombinant cell that contains an expression construct.
[0078] As used herein, the term "biological sample" refers to a sample containing cells (e.g., tumor cells) or biological molecules derived from cells. Biological samples can be obtained from a subject, e.g., a patient, from an animal, such as an animal model, or from cultured cells, e.g., cell lines or cells removed from a patient and grown in culture for observation. Biological samples can include tissues and / or fluids. Biological samples can be obtained from any biological source, including, but not limited to, blood, blood fractions (e.g., serum or plasma), cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), lymph, tears, saliva, sputum, buccal swabs, breast milk, urine, or feces. Biological samples can be biopsies, e.g., tissue biopsies, e.g., needle biopsies, fine needle biopsies, surgical biopsies, and the like. Samples can include tissue samples with lesions or suspected lesions, but biological samples can also be derived from another site, e.g., a site of suspected metastasis, lymph nodes, or blood. Biological samples can be a portion of a sample taken from a subject. Examples of tissue samples include brain tissue samples or neural tissue samples. Methods for obtaining such biological samples are known in the art, including but not limited to standard blood collection procedures.
[0079] As used herein, the term "diagnosis" refers to the relative probability that a subject has a disorder such as cancer.Similarly, the term "prognosis" refers to the relative probability that a particular future outcome may occur to a subject.For example, in the context of the present disclosure, prognosis can refer to the likelihood that an individual will develop cancer, the likelihood that an individual will have a recurrence, the likelihood that cancer will metastasize, the likelihood that cancer will be cured, or the likely severity of disease (e.g., severity of symptoms, rate of functional decline, survival rate, etc.).The term is not intended to be absolute, as will be understood by those skilled in the art of medical diagnosis.
[0080] As used herein, the terms "therapy", "treatment", "therapeutic intervention" and "amelioration" refer to any activity that results in a reduction in the severity of symptoms. In the case of cancer, treatment can refer to, for example, reducing tumor size, the number of cancer cells, growth rate, metastatic activity, reducing cell death of non-cancerous cells, reducing nausea and other side effects of chemotherapy or radiotherapy, and the like. The terms "treat" and "prevent" are not intended to be absolute terms. Treatment and prevention can refer to any delay in onset, amelioration of symptoms, improving patient survival, increasing survival time or survival rate, and the like. Treatment and prevention can be complete (undetectable levels of neoplastic cells) or partial, such that fewer neoplastic cells are found in the patient than would have occurred without the intervention. The effect of treatment can be compared to an individual not receiving treatment, or a pool of individuals, or the same patient at different times before or during treatment. In some aspects, the severity of the disease is reduced by at least 10%, for example, compared to the individual before administration or to a control individual not receiving treatment. In some aspects, the severity of the disease is reduced by at least 25%, at least 50%, at least 75%, at least 80%, or at least 90%, or in some cases, is no longer detectable using standard diagnostic techniques.
[0081] As used herein, the terms "effective amount", "effective dose" and "therapeutically effective amount" refer to an amount of an agent, such as an antibody or immunoconjugate, sufficient to produce a desired response, such as reducing or eliminating the signs or symptoms of a disease state or ameliorating a disorder. In some examples, an "effective amount" is an amount effective to treat (including prevent) one or more symptoms and / or underlying causes of any of the disorders or diseases and / or prevent the progression of the disease. For example, for a given parameter, a therapeutically effective amount shows an increase or decrease in therapeutic efficacy by at least any of 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 75%, 80%, 90%, or at least 100%. The therapeutic efficacy can also be expressed as a "fold" increase or decrease. For example, a therapeutically effective amount can have at least any of 1.2-fold, 1.5-fold, 2-fold, 5-fold, or more efficacy over a control.
[0082] As used herein, the term "pharmaceutical composition" refers to a composition comprising a pharmaceutical compound (eg, a drug) and a pharma- ceutically acceptable carrier.
[0083] As used herein, the term "pharmaceutical acceptable" refers to a carrier that is compatible with other components of a pharmaceutical composition and can be safely administered to a subject.The term is used synonymously with "physiologically acceptable" and "pharmacologically acceptable".Pharmaceutical compositions and the techniques for their preparation and use are known to those skilled in the art in light of this disclosure. For detailed listings of suitable pharmacological compositions and techniques for their administration, reference may be made to documents such as Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 17th ed. 1985; Brunton et al., "Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics," McGraw-Hill, 2005; University of the Sciences in Philadelphia(eds.), "Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy," Lippincott Williams&Wilkins, 2005; and University of the Sciences in Philadelphia(eds.), "Remington: The Principles of Pharmacy Practice," Lippincott Williams&Wilkins, 2008.
[0084] Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers are generally sterile, at least for human use.Pharmaceutical compositions generally contain agents for buffering and preservation during storage, and may contain buffers and carriers for appropriate delivery depending on the route of administration.Examples of pharmaceutical acceptable carriers include, but are not limited to, normal (0.9%) saline, phosphate buffered saline (PBS), Hanks' balanced salt solution (HBSS), and multiple electrolyte solutions, such as PlasmaLyte ATM (Baxter).
[0085] Acceptable carriers, excipients, and / or stabilizers are nontoxic to recipients at the dosages and concentrations employed and include, but are not limited to, buffers, e.g., phosphates, citrates, and other organic acids; antioxidants, including ascorbic acid, glutathione, cysteine, methionine, and citric acid; preservatives, such as ethanol, benzyl alcohol, phenol, m-cresol, p-chloro-m-cresol, methyl or propyl paraben, benzalkonium chloride, or combinations thereof; amino acids, e.g., arginine, glycine, ornithine, lysine, histidine, glutamic acid, aspartic acid, isoleucine, leucine, alanine, phenylalan ... laminine, tyrosine, tryptophan, methionine, serine, proline, and combinations thereof; monosaccharides, disaccharides, and other carbohydrates; low molecular weight (less than about 10 residues) polypeptides; proteins, such as gelatin or serum albumin; chelating agents, such as EDTA; sugars, such as trehalose, sucrose, lactose, glucose, mannose, maltose, galactose, fructose, sorbose, raffinose, glucosamine, N-methylglucosamine, galactosamine, and neuraminic acid; and / or non-ionic surfactants, such as Tween, Pluronics, Triton-X, or polyethylene glycol (PEG).
[0086] The terms "dose" and "dosage" are used interchangeably herein. Dose refers to the amount of active ingredient given to an individual at each administration. In the present invention, dose can refer to the concentration of an antibody or related component, the amount of, for example, a therapeutic agent, or the amount of a radioactive label administered. Dosage varies depending on several factors, including frequency of administration, size and tolerance of the individual, severity of the condition, risk of side effects, route of administration, and imaging modality of detectable label (if present). Those skilled in the art will recognize that dosage may be altered depending on the above factors or based on the progress of treatment. The term "dosage form" refers to the specific format of a pharmaceutical product and depends on the route of administration. For example, the dosage form can be a liquid, for example, saline for injection.
[0087] As used herein, the term "subject" refers to an individual animal. As used herein, the term "patient" refers to a subject under the care or supervision of a medical provider, such as a doctor or nurse. Subjects include mammals, such as humans and non-human primates, such as monkeys, as well as dogs, cats, horses, cows, rabbits, rats, mice, goats, pigs, and other mammalian species. Subjects may also include birds. A patient may be an individual who is seeking treatment, monitoring, adjustment or modification of an existing treatment regimen, and the like. The term "cancer subject" refers to an individual who has been diagnosed with cancer. Cancer patients may include individuals who are not undergoing treatment, individuals who are currently undergoing treatment, individuals who have undergone surgery, and individuals who have discontinued treatment.
[0088] In the context of cancer treatment, a subject in need of treatment can refer to an individual who has cancer or a precancerous condition, an individual who has previously had cancer and is at risk of recurrence, an individual suspected of having cancer, or an individual who is undergoing standard treatment for cancer, such as radiation therapy or chemotherapy.
[0089] Terms such as "cancer," "tumor," and "transformed" include precancerous, neoplastic, transformed, and cancerous cells and can refer to solid or nonsolid tumors (see, e.g., Edge et al. AJCC Cancer Staging Manual (7th ed. 2009); Cibas and Ducatman Cytology: Diagnostic principles and clinical correlates (3rd ed. 2009)). Cancer includes both benign and malignant neoplasms (abnormal growth). "Transformation" refers to spontaneous or induced phenotypic changes, such as cellular immortalization, morphological changes, abnormal cell proliferation, contact inhibition, and loss of fixation, and / or malignant tumors (see Freshney, Culture of Animal Cells a Manual of Basic Technique (3rd ed. 1994)). Transformation can result from infection with a transforming virus and integration of new genomic DNA, or uptake of exogenous DNA, but can also occur spontaneously or following exposure to carcinogens.
[0090] The term "cancer" can refer to any cancer, including, but not limited to, leukemia, carcinoma, sarcoma, adenocarcinoma, lymphoma, solid cancer, lymphatic cancer, etc. Examples of various types of cancer include, but are not limited to, lung cancer (e.g., non-small cell lung cancer, or NSCLC), breast cancer, prostate cancer, colorectal cancer, bladder cancer, ovarian cancer, leukemia, liver cancer (i.e., hepatocellular carcinoma), renal cancer (i.e., renal cell carcinoma), thyroid cancer, pancreatic cancer, uterine cancer, cervical cancer, testicular cancer, esophageal cancer, stomach (gastric) cancer, kidney cancer, cancer of the central nervous system, skin cancer, glioblastoma, and melanoma.
[0091] As used herein, a chemical entity, such as a polypeptide, is "substantially pure" if it is the predominant chemical entity of that type (e.g., a polypeptide) in a composition. This includes chemical entities that make up more than 50%, more than 80%, more than 90%, more than 95%, more than 98%, more than 99%, more than 99.5%, more than 99.9%, or more than 99.99% of the chemical entities of that type in a composition.
[0092] The phrase "isolated antibody" refers to an antibody that is produced in vivo or in vitro, removed from the source that produced the antibody, e.g., an animal, a hybridoma or other cell line (a recombinant insect cell that produces an antibody, a yeast cell, or a bacterial cell).
[0093] "Substantially pure" or "isolated" means that the object species is the predominant species present (i.e., more abundant, on a molar basis, than any other individual macromolecular species in the composition) and that a substantially purified fraction is a composition in which the object species constitutes at least about 50% (on a molar basis) of the total macromolecular species present. Generally, a substantially pure composition means that about 80%-90% or more of the macromolecular species present in the composition is the purified species of interest. When a composition consists essentially of a single macromolecular species, the object species is purified to essential homogeneity (contaminating species cannot be detected in the composition by conventional detection methods). Solvent species, small molecules (<500 Daltons), stabilizers (e.g., BSA), and elemental ion species are not considered macromolecular species for purposes of this definition.
[0094] The term "sequence identity" as used herein refers to the percentage of sequence identity between two polypeptide sequences or two nucleic acid sequences. To determine the percent identity of two amino acid sequences or two nucleic acid sequences, the sequences are aligned for optimal comparison purposes (e.g., gaps can be introduced into the sequence of the first amino acid sequence or nucleic acid sequence for optimal alignment with the second amino acid sequence or nucleic acid sequence). The amino acid residues or nucleotides at the corresponding amino acid or nucleotide positions are then compared. If 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 molecules are identical at that position. The percent identity between two sequences is a function of the number of identical positions shared by the sequences (i.e., % identity = number of identical overlapping positions / total number of positions x 100%). In one embodiment, the two sequences are the same length. Determining the percent identity between two sequences can also be achieved using a mathematical algorithm. A preferred, non-limiting example of a mathematical algorithm used to compare two sequences is the algorithm of Karlin and Altschul, 1990, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 87: 2264-2268, modified as in Karlin and Altschul, 1993, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90: 5873-5877. Such an algorithm is incorporated into the NBLAST and XBLAST programs of Altschul et al., 1990, J. Mol. Biol. 215: 403. For example, BLAST nucleotide searches can be performed using the NBLAST nucleotide program parameters set to score=100 and word length=12 to obtain nucleotide sequences homologous to the nucleic acid molecules of the present application. For example, BLAST protein searches can be performed using the XBLAST program parameters set to score-50 and word length=3 to obtain amino acid sequences homologous to the protein molecules described herein.To obtain gapped alignments for comparison purposes, Gapped BLAST, as described in Altschul et al., 1997, Nucleic Acids Res. 25: 3389-3402, can be used. Alternatively, PSI-BLAST can be used to perform an iterative search that detects distant relationships between molecules (ibid.). When using the BLAST, Gapped BLAST and PSI-Blast programs, the default parameters of the respective programs (e.g., XBLAST and NBLAST) can be used (see, e.g., the NCBI website). Another preferred, non-limiting example of a mathematical algorithm used for comparing sequences is the algorithm of Myers and Miller, 1988, CABIOS 4: 11-17. Such an algorithm is incorporated in the ALIGN program (version 2.0), which is part of the GCG sequence alignment software package. When using the ALIGN program to compare amino acid sequences, a PAM120 weighted residue table, a gap length penalty of 12 and a gap penalty of 4 can be used. The percent identity between two sequences can be determined using techniques similar to those described above, with or without allowing gaps. In calculating percent identity, typically only exact matches are counted.
[0095] For antibodies, the percentage sequence identity can be determined when the antibody sequences are maximally aligned by IMGT. After alignment, when a region of a subject antibody (e.g., the entire mature variable region of a heavy or light chain) is compared with the same region of a reference antibody, the percentage sequence identity between the subject and reference antibody regions is the number of positions occupied by the same amino acid in both the subject and reference antibody regions divided by the total number of aligned positions in the two regions, multiplied by 100, and converted to a percentage.
[0096] Percent amino acid sequence identity can also be determined using the sequence comparison program NCBI-BLAST2 (Altschul et al., Nucleic Acids Res. 25: 3389-3402(1997)). The NCBI-BLAST2 sequence comparison program is available from the National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md. NCBI-BLAST2 uses several search parameters, all of which are set to default values, including, for example, unmask=yes, strand=all, expected occurrences=10, minimum low complexity length=15 / 5, multipass e-value=0.01, multipass constant=25, final gapped alignment dropoff=25, and scoring matrix=BLOSUM62.
[0097] In the context of using NCBI-BLAST2 for amino acid sequence comparison, the % amino acid sequence identity of a given amino acid sequence A to, with, or relative to a given amino acid sequence B (alternatively, it can be stated that a given amino acid sequence A has or contains a particular % amino acid sequence identity to, with, or relative to a given amino acid sequence B) is calculated as follows: 100 x fraction X / Y where X is the number of amino acid residues scored as identical matches by the sequence alignment program NCBI-BLAST2 in the alignment of A with B in the program, and Y is the total number of amino acid residues in B. It is understood that if the length of amino acid sequence A is not equal to the length of amino acid sequence B, the % amino acid sequence identity of A to B is not equal to the % amino acid sequence identity of B to A. The term "nucleic acid sequence" as used herein refers to a sequence of nucleoside or nucleotide monomers consisting of naturally occurring bases, sugars and intersugar (backbone) linkages, including cDNA. The term also includes modified or substituted sequences that include non-naturally occurring monomers or portions thereof. The nucleic acid sequences of the present application may be deoxyribonucleic acid sequences (DNA) or ribonucleic acid sequences (RNA) and may include naturally occurring bases including adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymidine, and uracil. The sequences may also include modified bases. Examples of such modified bases include aza and deaza adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymidine, and uracil, as well as xanthine and hypoxanthine. It is understood that polynucleotides containing non-transcribeable nucleotide bases can be useful, for example, as probes in hybridization assays. Nucleic acids can be either double-stranded or single-stranded, and represent sense or antisense strands. Furthermore, the term "nucleic acid" includes complementary nucleic acid sequences, and codon-optimized codon equivalents or synonymous codon equivalents.
[0098] As used herein, the term "isolated nucleic acid" refers to a nucleic acid that is substantially free of cellular material or culture medium when produced by recombinant DNA techniques, or chemical precursors or other chemicals when chemically synthesized. An isolated nucleic acid is also substantially free of sequences that naturally flank the nucleic acid from which it is derived (i.e., sequences located at the 5' and 3' ends of the nucleic acid).
[0099] "At least moderately stringent hybridization conditions" means that conditions are selected that promote selective hybridization between two complementary nucleic acid molecules in solution. Hybridization can occur to all or part of the nucleic acid sequence molecule. The hybridizing portion is typically at least 15 (e.g., 20, 25, 30, 40, or 50) nucleotides in length. Those skilled in the art will recognize that the stability of a nucleic acid duplex or hybrid is determined by Tm (Tm=81.5°C-16.6(Log10[Na+])+0.41(%(G+C)-600 / l), or a similar formula), which is a function of sodium ion concentration and temperature in a sodium-containing buffer. Thus, the parameters of the washing conditions that determine hybrid stability are sodium ion concentration and temperature. To identify molecules similar but not identical to known nucleic acid molecules, it can be assumed that 1% mismatch results in a drop in Tm of about 1°C, for example, if a nucleic acid molecule with >95% identity is sought, the final wash temperature is reduced by about 5°C. Based on these considerations, a person skilled in the art will be able to easily select appropriate hybridization conditions. In a preferred embodiment, stringent hybridization conditions are selected. As an example, the following conditions may be used to achieve stringent hybridization: hybridization with 5x sodium chloride / sodium citrate (SSC) / 5x Denhardt's solution / 1.0% SDS at Tm-5°C based on the above formula, followed by washing with 0.2x SSC / 0.1% SDS at 60°C. Moderately stringent hybridization conditions include a washing step with 3x SSC at 42°C. However, it is understood that equivalent stringency can be achieved using alternative buffers, salts, and temperatures.Additional guidance regarding hybridization conditions can be found in Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, John Wiley & Sons, NY, 2002, and Sambrook et al., Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 2001.
[0100] The term "treat" or "treatment" as used herein and well understood in the art, refers to an approach to obtain beneficial or desired results, including clinical results. Beneficial or desired clinical results may include, without limitation, alleviation or amelioration of one or more symptoms or pathology, whether detectable or undetectable, attenuation of the extent of disease, stabilization (i.e., not worsening) of disease, prevention of disease spread, prolongation or delay of disease progression, improvement or alleviation of disease state, reduction of disease recurrence, and remission (whether partial or total). "Treat" or "treatment" may also mean prolonging survival compared to expected survival in the absence of treatment. "Treat" or "treatment" as used herein also includes prophylactic treatment.

Because physiologically acceptable carriers are determined in part by the particular composition being administered and by the particular method used to administer the composition, there are a wide variety of suitable formulations of the pharmaceutical compositions of the invention (see, e.g., Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 17th ed., 1989).
[0178] The composition of the present invention may be sterilized by conventional well-known sterilization techniques or produced under sterile conditions. Aqueous solutions may be packaged for use or filtered under aseptic conditions and lyophilized, and the lyophilized preparations are combined with sterile aqueous solutions before administration. The composition may contain pharma- ceutically acceptable auxiliary substances necessary to approximate physiological conditions, such as pH adjusting agents and buffers, isotonicity adjusting agents, wetting agents, etc., such as sodium acetate, sodium lactate, sodium chloride, potassium chloride, calcium chloride, sorbitan monolaurate, and triethanolamine oleate. Sugars for stabilizing the composition may also be included, such as stabilizers for lyophilized antibody compositions.
[0179] The dosage form can be prepared for mucosal administration (e.g., nasal, sublingual, vaginal, buccal or rectal), parenteral administration (e.g., subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular or intraarterial injection, either bolus or infusion), oral administration, or transdermal administration to a patient. Examples of dosage forms include, but are not limited to, liquid dispersions; suppositories; ointments; poultices (compresses); pastes; powders; dressings; creams; bandages; solutions; patches; aerosols (e.g., nasal sprays or inhalers); gels; liquid dosage forms suitable for oral or mucosal administration to a patient, including suspensions (e.g., aqueous or non-aqueous liquid suspensions, oil-in-water or water-in-oil liquid emulsions), solutions, and elixirs; liquid dosage forms suitable for parenteral administration to a patient; and sterile solids (e.g., crystalline or amorphous solids) that can be reconstituted to provide liquid dosage forms suitable for parenteral administration to a patient.
[0180] Injectable (e.g., intravenous) compositions can include a solution of the antibody or antibody targeting composition suspended in an acceptable carrier, such as an aqueous carrier. For example, any of a variety of aqueous carriers, such as water, buffered water, 0.4% saline, 0.9% isotonic saline, 0.3% glycine, 5% dextrose, and the like, can be used, and may include glycoproteins, such as albumin, lipoproteins, globulins, and the like, to enhance stability. Normal buffered saline (135-150 mM NaCl) is often used. The composition can contain pharma- ceutically acceptable auxiliary substances to approximate physiological conditions, such as pH adjusting and buffering agents, isotonicity adjusting agents, wetting agents, such as sodium acetate, sodium lactate, sodium chloride, potassium chloride, calcium chloride, sorbitan monolaurate, triethanolamine oleate, and the like. In some embodiments, the antibody targeting composition can be formulated into a kit for intravenous administration.
[0181] Formulations suitable for parenteral administration, such as by intraarticular (intra-articular), intravenous, intramuscular, intratumoral, intradermal, intraperitoneal, and subcutaneous routes, include aqueous and non-aqueous isotonic sterile injection solutions that may contain antioxidants, buffers, bacteriostats, and solutes that render the formulation isotonic with the blood of the intended recipient, as well as aqueous and non-aqueous sterile suspensions that may contain suspending agents, solubilizers, thickeners, stabilizers, and preservatives. Injection solutions and suspensions may also be prepared from sterile powders, granules, and tablets. In the practice of the present invention, the compositions may be administered, for example, by intravenous infusion, topically, intraperitoneally, intravesically, or intrathecally. Parenteral and intravenous administration are the preferred methods of administration. Formulations of targeting compositions may be provided in unit-dose or multi-dose sealed containers, such as ampoules and vials.
[0182] The selected targeted delivery composition, alone or in combination with other suitable components, can be made into an aerosol formulation ("nebulizer") to be administered via inhalation. The aerosol formulation can be placed into a pressurized acceptable propellant, such as dichlorodifluoromethane, propane, and nitrogen.
[0183] Pharmaceutical preparations can be packaged or prepared in unit dosage form.In such form, the preparation is divided into unit dosages containing appropriate amounts of active ingredients, for example, according to the dose of therapeutic agent or the concentration of antibody.The unit dosage form can be a packaged preparation, and the package contains a discrete amount of the preparation.The composition can also contain other compatible therapeutic agents if desired.
[0184] The antibody (or antibody targeting composition) can be administered or may be for use by injection or infusion via any suitable route, including, but not limited to, intravenous, subcutaneous, intramuscular, or intraperitoneal routes. An example of administration of a pharmaceutical composition includes storing the antibody at 10 mg / ml in sterile isotonic aqueous saline for injection at 4° C. and diluting it in either 100 ml or 200 ml of 0.9% sodium chloride for injection prior to administration to the patient. The antibody is administered by intravenous infusion over 1 hour at a dose of 0.2-10 mg / kg. In other embodiments, the antibody is administered by intravenous infusion over a period of 15 minutes to 2 hours. In still other embodiments, the administration procedure is by subcutaneous bolus injection.
[0185] The dose of the antibody is selected to provide an effective treatment to the patient and ranges from less than 0.1 mg / kg body weight to about 25 mg / kg body weight or from 1 mg to 2 g per patient. In some cases, the dose ranges from 1 to 100 mg / kg or from about 50 mg to about 8000 mg per patient. Depending on the pharmacokinetics of the antibody (e.g., half-life of the antibody in circulation) and the pharmacodynamic response (e.g., duration of therapeutic effect of the antibody), the dose may be repeated at an appropriate frequency, which may range from once a day to once every three months. In some embodiments, the antibody administration with an in vivo half-life of about 7 days to about 25 days is repeated once a week to once every three months.
[0186] Administration or use can be periodic.Dose can be administered, for example, once every 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, 14, 21, or 28 days, or once every longer period (for example, once every 2, 3, 4, or 6 months), depending on the route of administration.In some cases, administration is more frequent, such as twice or three times a day.As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, patient can be monitored to adjust dosage and frequency of administration according to the progress of treatment and any adverse side effects.
[0187] Thus, in some embodiments, further doses are dependent on the patient's progress, e.g., the patient is monitored between doses. For example, after an initial dose or series of doses, the patient can be monitored for tumor growth rate, recurrence (e.g., in the case of post-operative patients), or general disease-related symptoms such as weakness, pain, nausea, etc.
[0188] In therapeutic use to treat cancer, the antibody targeting composition (e.g., including therapeutic and / or diagnostic agents) may be administered at an initial dosage of about 0.001 mg / kg to about 1000 mg / kg daily, which may be adjusted over time. A daily dose range of about 0.01 mg / kg to about 500 mg / kg, or about 0.1 mg / kg to about 200 mg / kg, or about 1 mg / kg to about 100 mg / kg, or about 10 mg / kg to about 50 mg / kg may be used. Dosages vary depending on the requirements of the patient, the severity of the condition being treated, and the targeting composition being used. For example, dosages may be empirically determined in a particular patient, taking into account the type and stage of cancer diagnosed. In the context of the present invention, the dose administered to a patient should be sufficient to affect a beneficial therapeutic response to the patient over time. The size of the dose will also be determined by the existence, nature, and extent of any adverse side effects associated with the administration of a particular targeting composition to a particular patient, as will be recognized by those of skill in the art.

Kits Another aspect is a kit or package that includes any of the antibodies, immunoconjugates, nucleic acid molecules, vectors, recombinant cells, and / or compositions contained herein.Antibodies, immunoconjugates, nucleic acid molecules, vectors, recombinant cells, and / or compositions can be contained in vials, such as sterile vials or other housings.As used herein, the term "kit" refers to a collection of items that are intended to be used together.The kit can optionally include a reference agent and / or instructions for its use.The kit can further include a transport container that is adapted to hold a container, such as a vial, that contains the compositions disclosed herein.
[0190] IX. Methods of Using Antibodies The antibodies described herein can be used in a number of in vitro and in vivo methods.
[0191] A. Methods for detecting FZD expression As demonstrated herein, antibodies can be used to detect FZD expression.
[0192] Thus, in one aspect, the present disclosure provides a method for detecting FZD expression, comprising contacting a sample comprising one or more cells with one or more antibodies or immunoconjugates described herein under conditions that allow the formation of an antibody:FZD complex, and detecting the presence of any antibody complex.Typically, the antibody is part of an immunoconjugate that comprises an antibody bound to a detectable label.
[0193] The sample can include live cells or cell extracts. Antibody:FZD complexes can be detected by immunoassays, such as immunofluorescence, flow cytometry, Western blot, ELISA, SPR, and immunoprecipitation followed by SDS-PAGE immunocytochemistry. In some embodiments, detection is by immunofluorescence. In some embodiments, detection is by flow cytometry.
[0194] As shown herein, some of the identified antibodies preferentially recognize FZD4. Thus, in embodiments in which the method is for detecting FZD4 expression, the antibody or immunoconjugate comprises a set of CDR sequences corresponding to an antibody selected from 5017, 5027, 5030, 6499, 5038, 5040-5044, 5046, 5047, 5049-5053, 5055, 5058-5064, 5066, 5068-5072, and 5077-5081.
[0195] B. Methods for Inhibiting WNT Binding to FZD The antibody disclosed herein inhibits Wnt binding to Frizzled receptors, particularly FZD4.Without wishing to be limited by theory, inhibiting Wnt binding to FZD protein affects signal transduction that FZD plays a role in initiating.For example, antibodies that bind to FZD receptors inhibit FZD promotion of β-catenin phosphorylation.Unphosphorylated β-catenin avoids degradation in cells and accumulates.Accumulation of β-catenin is associated with malignant tumors.
[0196] It may be desirable to reduce or inhibit the Wnt ligand signal transduction via FZD.Therefore, another aspect is the method of inhibiting the Wnt ligand binding to FZD or the Wnt-induced transcriptional activity, comprising contacting one or more cells that express one or more FZD polypeptides with an effective amount of the antibody or immunoconjugate described herein.

[0198] In one embodiment, the antibody or immunoconjugate comprises a set of CDR sequences (complete light or heavy chain) corresponding to an antibody selected from a clone described herein, e.g., 5014, 5018-5023, 5025, 5036, 5037, 6495, 5027-5031, and 6497-6499.
[0199] The contacting can be effected in vivo, for example, by administering an antibody or immunoconjugate to a subject. Such inhibition can be desirable, particularly when wnt signaling is dysregulated, such as in cancer cells.
[0200] C. Methods of Treating Cancer The method for treating cancer comprises administering to a subject in need thereof a pharmaceutical composition comprising an antibody of the present disclosure that binds to FZD.The subject in need thereof may be a subject, such as a human, suffering from cancer or at risk of cancer, such as recurrence of cancer.
[0201] Without wishing to be limited by theory, such therapies may work by inhibiting activation of the canonical Wnt pathway, for example, by inhibiting Wnt binding to FZD, by inhibiting Wnt-induced transcriptional activity, by inhibiting activation of disheveled, by inhibiting inhibition of the β-catenin degradation complex, and by promoting accumulation of β-catenin.
[0202] In another aspect, the present disclosure includes a method for treating cancer, comprising administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of an antibody or immunoconjugate that specifically binds to FZD 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, and 9 in at least one assay and inhibits Wnt-induced signaling in at least one assay.

[0203] In one embodiment, the antibody or immunoconjugate, e.g., an antibody-drug conjugate, is comprised in a pharmaceutical composition.
[0204] In one embodiment, the cancer is selected from colon cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer, pancreatic cancer, gastric cancer, liver cancer, adrenal cortical cancer, and osteoblastoma cancer, and optionally, the cancer is pancreatic cancer. In one embodiment, the antibody or immunoconjugate comprises a set of CDR sequences (complete light or heavy chain) corresponding to an antibody selected from 5014, 5017-5023, 5025, 5035-5037, 6495, and 6500.
[0205] As provided herein, the antibodies can also inhibit cancer cell proliferation, and thus methods for inhibiting cancer cell proliferation are also provided, comprising contacting one or more cancer cells expressing FZD with an effective amount of an antibody or immunoconjugate that specifically binds to FZD 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, and 9 in at least one assay and inhibits Wnt3a-induced signaling in at least one assay.
[0206] In one embodiment, the antibody or immunoconjugate is an antibody or immunoconjugate described herein, e.g., an antibody or immunoconjugate that comprises a set of CDR sequences (complete light or heavy chain) corresponding to an antibody selected from 5014, 5017-5023, 5025, 5035-5037, 6495, and 6500.

[0211] Antibody 5020 has also been demonstrated to be effective in treating RNF43 mutant cancers. Thus, in one embodiment, the cancer cells are known or determined to contain a mutation in the RNF43 gene, and the antibody or immunoconjugate used comprises a set of CDRs corresponding to antibody 5020.
[0212] In one embodiment, the method includes determining that a subject's cancer is associated with dysregulated Wnt signaling, optionally determining the specific Wnt protein that is dysregulated, optionally determining the member of the FZD protein family that is targeted, and administering an anti-FZD antibody to the subject to block binding of one or more selected Wnts to one or more selected FZD receptors.
[0213] The above disclosure generally describes the present disclosure. A more complete understanding can be obtained by reference to the following specific examples. These examples are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present application. Changes in form and substitution of equivalents are contemplated as the circumstances suggest or render expedient. Although specific terms have been used herein, such terms are intended in a descriptive sense and not for purposes of limitation. EXAMPLES
[0214] X. Working Example Example 1 Antibody selection and functional testing of FZD4 FAB Antibody Selection: To identify FZD4 binders, two selection procedures were performed.
[0215] 1. Selections were performed using a library designed based on previous FZD7-derived binders. Antibodies have been previously identified from selections using FZD7 CRD-Fc as the antigen. These antibodies bind to FZD1, 2, 5, 7, 8, and 9, exhibit antagonistic activity against the Wnt pathway, and inhibit pancreatic cancer cell proliferation and tumor growth. The library was used to identify antibodies that bind to FZD4 and would have wnt antagonistic and antitumor activity.
[0216] (a) Design and preparation of Fab phage display libraries. A Fab phage display library was designed and prepared using an IPTG-inducible display vector encoding a Fab recognizing MBP. The Fab template was identical to library F, containing a FLAG-tagged light chain, with dimerization domains L1, L2, L3 mutated to the parental Fab sequence H1, H2, and H3 soft randomized to allow 50% bias towards wild-type amino acids and 50% bias towards any other amino acid (using a 70:10:10:10 nucleotide mix). All six CDR regions were mutated in a single Kunkel mutagenesis reaction. A second generation library was constructed based on a panel of Fab antagonists. An IPTG-inducible display vector encoding a Fab specific for maltose binding protein was used as library template. Using light chain oligos, a site-directed Kunkel mutagenesis reaction was performed to mutate CDRs L1, L2, and L3 to the parental Fab sequence, and CDRs H1, H2, and H3 were soft randomized (50% wild-type and 50% any other amino acid). The purified mutagenesis reaction was electroporated into SR320 cells preinfected with M13 K07. The library was rescued overnight in a 500 ml culture, double precipitated with PEG / NaCl, and resuspended in PBS with 50% glycerol for storage at -20°C.
[0217] (b) Selection and generation of Fab against FZD4 Second generation libraries were pooled (equal to cfu) and screened for four rounds against recombinant FZD4 cysteine rich domain (CRD) fused to an Fc tag (R&D systems). Input and output phage titers were calculated for carbenecillin (carb) resistant library phage and kanamycin (kan) resistant helper phage. Maxisorb plates were coated overnight at 4° with 5 μg / ml of FZD4-CRD-Fc or Fc protein in PBS and the indicated number of wells and blocked with 0.5% BSA. Coated wells were washed four times with PBS / 0.5% Tween20 (wash buffer) and library phage (PEG precipitated and resuspended in 0.5% BSA / 0.05% Tween20 / PBS) were first incubated in the Fc protein wells for 1 h at room temperature. Unbound phages were transferred to blocked FZD4-CRD-Fc plates and incubated for 1 hour at room temperature. Wells were washed as indicated and then eluted with 100 mM HCl. Eluted phages were amplified using standard protocols in the laboratory for subsequent rounds of selection. Input and output titers of library phages (carb resistant) and helper phages (kan resistant) are shown. DNA from a site-directed kunkel mutagenesis reaction designed to add a His6-amber stop ("His6" disclosed as SEQ ID NO:428) between the phage gene III and Fab CH1 regions of the output phage pools from FZD4 selection was transformed into Omnimax cells and plated for single colonies. Single colonies were used to inoculate 96-well culture boxes and overnight phage supernatants were diluted 1:2 in 0.05% Tween20 / 0.5% BSA / PBS (dilution buffer) to test ELISA binding. Phages were detected using anti-M13-HRP secondary antibody (1:5000 in dilution buffer) and plates were developed with TMB substrate and acid stopper.Absorbance at 450 nm was read for FZD4-Fc and control Fc coated wells as indicated. Heavy and light chains were sequenced to determine the CDR sequences of individual Fabs. CH1-geneIII junctions were sequenced to determine successful incorporation of His-tags and amber stop codons for Fab expression. Phage binders were cloned into bacterial expression vectors and purified as Fab proteins for characterization.
[0218] (c) Characterization of anti-FZD4 binders. The CDR sequences of the antibodies described herein are shown in Table 1. First, the phage binders were tested in an ELISA assay to confirm their binding to antigen. As shown in FIG. 1, all phage clones bind to FZD4 CRD-Fc, but not to Fc protein alone, suggesting that these phage binders bind to FZD4 CRD, not to Fc. Second, the purified Fabs were tested in a competitive ELISA assay in the presence of increasing amounts of non-immobilized antigen to estimate their binding affinity (FIG. 2). In the presence of 50 nM of competing free antigen (FZD4 CRD), the binding of all Fabs was reduced by more than 50%. In the presence of 10 nM of competing antigen (FZD4 CRD), the binding of five Fabs (5022, 5031, 6497, 6498, and 6500) was reduced by more than 50%, suggesting that these five Fabs may have higher binding affinity than the rest. Note that no binding was observed for Fabs 5025 and 6494 in this assay. The reason for this is unclear, but is likely due to physical interference. Next, the Fabs were tested for binding to FZD4 expressed on the cell surface by immunofluorescence staining. A membrane staining pattern was observed for both FZD4 Fabs in CHO cells stably expressing FZD4 (Figure 3), but not in CHO cells (Figure 4). IF staining was used to determine whether these Fabs bind to other FZDs. Binding was tested using 10 CHO cell lines stably expressing individual FZDs on their surface. As shown in Figure 5, the Fabs exhibited a range of binding profiles. Fabs 5017, 5027, 5030, and 6499 bound only to FZD4-expressing CHO cells, whereas the other Fabs (5014, 5018-5023, 5025, 6495, 6496) bind to multiple FZDs, including FZD1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, and 9. However, the assay did not show that the Fabs bind to FZD 3, 6, or 10. Next, we used Fabs 5019 and 5020 as examples to test their binding to cancer cells by both immunofluorescence staining and flow cytometry. As shown in Figure 6, both Fabs showed clear membrane-localized staining in the five pancreatic cell lines tested.As shown in FIG. 7, binding of these Fabs to these cancer cell lines was confirmed by flow cytometry.
[0219] 2. Selection with a naive Fab library (library F). (a) Recombinant FZD4-CRD-Fc was used for selection of Fabs that bind to FZD4. Specifically, a Fab phage library (library F) was pre-filtered from non-specific binders with unrelated proteins. To enrich for binders that bind to FZD4-CRD-Fc, several rounds of selection were performed on the pre-filtered Fab library. Clonal phages resulting from the selection were screened by ELISA for binders that specifically bind to FZD4-CRD-Fc but not to Fc. 44 Fabs with unique CDR sequences were identified (see Table 3 for sequences).
[0220] (b) Characterization of anti-FZD4 Fab The anti-FZD4 phage binder clones were then cloned into a bacterial expression vector, and 42 Fabs were expressed and purified for subsequent characterization. Multiple methods were used to determine the binding selectivity for FZDs. First, the purified Fabs were tested in an ELISA assay to confirm binding to the recombinant antigen (FZD4-CRD-Fc) and to other FZDs (FZD1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10). As shown in Figure 8, all Fabs bound to FZD4-CRD-Fc (the antigen used for selection), but little binding to Fc or the unrelated protein BSA was observed. Furthermore, these Fabs were shown to bind to other FZDs to various degrees (Figure 8). For example, in addition to binding to FZD4-CRD-Fc, small amounts of binding to FZD2 CRD-Fc and FZD8 CRD-Fc were detected for the Fabs (Figure 8A). Fab 5076 binds to FZD1, 2, 5, 7, and 8 in addition to FZD4 (Figure 8D). We then determined the binding of anti-FZD4 Fabs to various FZDs by immunofluorescence staining of FZD-expressing CHO cells. The results are summarized in Figure 9. The majority of Fabs, including Fabs 5038, 5040–5044, 5046, 5047, 5049–5053, 5055, 5058–5064, 5066, 5068–5072, and 5077–5081), were shown to bind only FZD4 in this assay, while others bind to two or more FZDs. Furthermore, we used surface plasmon resonance (SPR) to determine the binding affinity of anti-FZD4 Fabs to FZD4 CRD-Fc. As shown in Figure 10. FZD4-derived Fabs show high affinity for FZD4 ranging from 0.2 nM to 15.3 nM. To examine whether these Fabs bind to FZDs expressed on pancreatic cancer cells, we tested their binding using flow cytometry. As summarized in Figure 11, most Fabs were able to bind to HPAFII and PATU8988. A small amount of binding was seen for Fabs 5049, 5064, and 5072 (PATU8988 cells).
[0221] Functional testing of FZD4 Fab: To characterize the anti-FZD4 Fab, several assays were performed.
[0222] 1. Effect of anti-FZD4 Fab on Wnt ligand binding to FZD4-CRD. To optimize the assay conditions, increasing concentrations of FZD4-CRD-Fc or Fc were mixed with biotinylated Wnt5A, and the complexes were captured by streptavidin-coated plates. The binding of FZD4-CRD-Fc or Fc was detected by anti-Fc-HRP (Figure 12A). To test the blocking activity of anti-FZD4 Fab, the concentration of FZD4-CRD-Fc that gave an ELISA signal within the linear range was selected. FZD4-CRD-Fc was mixed with biotinylated Wnt5A in the presence of various Fabs as indicated, and the bound FZD4-CRD-Fc was detected by anti-Fc-HRP as in Figure 12A. As shown in FIG. 12B, greater than 80% inhibition of binding was observed for Fabs 5014, 5017-5023, 5027-5031, 5034, 5036, 5037, 6496, 6498, 6499, and 6500, greater than 60% inhibition of binding was observed for Fabs 5035 and 6495, approximately 30% inhibition was observed for Fab 5025, and no inhibition was seen for Fabs 6494 and 6497.
[0223] 2. Effect of anti-FZD4 Fab on β-catenin-promoted transcription. To investigate whether anti-FZD4 Fabs affect β-catenin-dependent signaling, Fabs were tested for their effect on Wnt3a-induced transcriptional activity in a TOPFLASH assay. As shown in Figure 13, potent inhibitory activity (>80%) was observed with Fabs 5014, 5018-5023, 5025, 5036, 5037, and 6495. Lesser inhibition (10-35%) was observed with Fabs 5027-5031, 6497-6499. No inhibition was observed with Fabs 5017, 5034, and 5035.
[0224] 3. Effect on cancer cell proliferation. To test whether anti-FZD4 Fabs affect cancer cell proliferation, pancreatic cancer cells (HPAFII and PATU8988) were treated with 2 and 10 μg / ml of Fab and cell proliferation was measured (see Figure 14A-H). The data are summarized in Figure 15. Fabs that were dose-dependently anti-proliferative include Fabs 5018-5021, 5023, 5036, and 6495. Fabs 5022 and 6500 were only tested at a single dose level (2 μg / ml) and were inhibitory against both cell lines tested. In the assay, several Fabs (5017, 5025, 5035, and 5037) were shown to be inhibitory against the HPAFII cell line. Based on the data summarized in Figure 16, the anti-proliferative activity of anti-FZD4 Fabs appears to be related to the following observations: their binding to FZDs 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, and 9, and their ability to inhibit Wnt3a-induced transcriptional activity. The most potent anti-proliferative Fabs include 5014, 5019-5023, and 6495 (Figure 16).
[0225] 4. Effect on expression of the Wnt regulatory gene Axin2. To further characterize anti-FZD4 antibody, some Fabs were converted to IgG. IgG 5020 and Fab 5019 and 5020 were tested in gene expression assay, and the mRNA level of Axin2 gene was measured by RT qPCR. As shown in Figure 17, IgG 5020, Fab 5019 and 5020 all reduced the Axin2 mRNA level of HPAFII cells after antibody treatment, suggesting that these antibodies inhibit Wnt pathway.
[0226] 5. Effect of anti-FZD4 IgG on cancer cell proliferation. IgG was also tested for its effect on the proliferation of four pancreatic cancer cell lines HPAFII, CAPAN2, AsPC11, and PATU8988. All of these cell lines are known to have damaging mutations in the RNF43 gene. As shown in Figure 18A using the Alamar Blue assay, the proliferation of these pancreatic cells was inhibited by IgG 5019 and 5020 along with their corresponding Fabs. Furthermore, IgG5020 was shown to inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells in a dose-dependent manner (Figure 18B). Interestingly, several pancreatic cancer cell lines (BxPC3 and PANC 1) that do not have damaging mutations in the RNF43 gene were also tested but were not sensitive to IgG5020, suggesting that sensitivity to the FZD4 antibody IgG 5020 may depend on mutations in the RNF43 gene. RNF43 and ZNRF3 are Wnt target genes that encode transmembrane E3 ubiquitin ligases that target Frizzled receptors, and loss-of-function mutations of these genes can lead to high expression of FZDs and sensitize tumor cells to inhibition of Wnt-dependent signaling. To examine whether FZD4 antibodies also affect colony formation, IgG5020 was tested using five pancreatic cancer cell lines (Figure 19). Consistent with the results of Figure 18, IgG5020 inhibits colony formation by cell lines with RNF43 mutations (HPAFII, AsPC1, and PATU8988), but not cell lines without RNF43 mutations (BxPC3 and PANC 1).
[0227] 6. Anti-FZD4 Fab binds to tumor-derived cells from pancreatic cancer patients and affects their proliferation. Next, Fab 5019 and 5020 were tested for binding to pancreatic cancer patient tumor-derived cells (PDX) by immunofluorescence staining. As shown in Figure 20, both Fabs on PDX cell lines GP2A and GP14A and pancreatic cell line CAPAN2 clearly showed membrane staining patterns. Furthermore, these antibodies were tested in cell proliferation assays (Figure 21). Both Fab and IgG 5020 were able to inhibit the proliferation of PDX cell lines GP2A and GP14A, PDX cell lines with mutations in the RNF43 gene, consistent with the observations in Figures 18 and 19.
[0228] In vivo efficacy studies are underway to demonstrate the anti-tumor activity of these disclosed anti-FZD antibodies.

[0230] As used herein, the following meanings apply unless otherwise indicated: The word "may" is used in an permissive sense (i.e., meaning having the possibility) rather than a mandatory sense (i.e., meaning must). The words "include," "including," and "includes," etc., mean including without limitation. The singular forms "a," "an," and "the" include plural referents. Thus, for example, a reference to "an element" includes a combination of two or more elements, notwithstanding the use of other terms and phrases for one or more elements, such as "one or more." The phrase "at least one" includes "one or more," "one or a plurality," and "a plurality." The term "or" is non-exclusive, unless otherwise indicated, i.e., encompasses both "and" and "or." The term "any" between a modifier and a series means that the modifier modifies every member of the series. Thus, for example, the phrase "at least any of one, two, or three" means "at least one, at least two, or at least three." The term "consisting essentially of" refers to the inclusion of the recited elements and other elements that do not materially affect the basic and novel characteristics of the claimed combination.
