Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biotechnology, and is directed to the production of unique CHO cells from genome-edited CHO host cells. Recombinant antibody with a unique glycosylation spectrum, the host cell and a method for producing the antibody - Patents.com It is something. [Background technology]
[0002] CHO cells were developed in 1957 by Dr. Theodore T. Pucc of the University of Colorado in the United States. Chinese hamster ovary cells (Chi) isolated from the ovaries of adult female hamsters CHO (Chinese Hamster Ovary) belongs to the epithelial adherent culture type cells. Among them, CHO-K1 cells are widely used in industry. CHO-K1 cells are a transformed cell line, and their cellular chromosome distribution frequency The number of cells is 2n=22 and belongs to subdiploid cells. The CHO-K1 cell line used is widely used for the expression of recombinant DNA proteins. The cells are initially cultured as adherent cells, but after several generations of subculture and screening, they are transformed into suspension cells. The genes in CHO cells are prone to mutation, and gene transfer is difficult. Early studies have also shown that CHO is more efficient than other process cell lines. It was demonstrated that the antibodies produced in the cells have the closest glycosylation type to human serum antibodies. Therefore, CHO cells are good host cells for mammalian gene expression. The mechanism of action of therapeutic antibodies is to form a complex with the target molecule, thereby neutralizing the target antigen. Initiates or eliminates antigens or pathogens through an immune response mediated by the antibody Fc segment The specific binding and activity of antibody drugs to target molecules depend on their complex higher-order structure and translation. Among them, glycosylation is the most important post-translational modification for antibodies. have important effects on antibody biological activity, in vivo metabolism, and immunogenicity. The glycosylation form of the drug is mainly N-glycosylated, and the monosaccharide involved is mainly glucose. , galactose, mannose, N-acetylglucosamine, N-acetylgalactosamine , fucose, and sialic acid (NANA, NGNA). The antibody molecule Fc segment Asn297 is linked to the bi- or multi-branched two-chain (bian Tennary complex oligosaccharides consist of G0, G1(1,3), G1(1,6) and G2 complexes. There are several types. Among them, each type contains fucose (F) or bisecting glass. They are divided into 16 types depending on whether they contain lactose (B) (Glycobiology, August 2015,1-10.DOI:10.1093 / glycob / cwv0 65) Therefore, the oligosaccharide type of the antibody heavy chain has terminal sialylation and high mannose type. There are at least 36 types, regardless of whether they exist or not. Because of random combinations, there are over 400 possible glycan types. However, antibodies exhibit a high degree of heterogeneity.
[0003] Different glycan types have different effects on the pharmaceutical properties of therapeutic antibodies. The content of 5-amino-5-glycan (Man5) contributes to rapid clearance of antibodies from the blood and shortens their half-life. (MAbs, 2012, 4(4):509-520). G0F acts on the complement pathway. G2F contributes to the elimination rate and accelerates the rate of elimination. Sialic acid modification significantly affects the inflammatory effects of intravenous immunoglobulin administration. The reduction of fucose leads to a significant increase in ADCC activity (JBC (2003) Chemistry Therefore, the main mechanism of action and clinical efficacy of therapeutic antibodies are unclear. It is necessary to design and improve the glycosylation of antibodies depending on their pharmaceutical applications.
[0004] Unlike protein synthesis, antibody glycosylation does not have a template to follow. The glycosylation type and proportion of each oligosaccharide component are influenced by the host cell type and culture requirements. The oligosaccharide content of monoclonal antibodies was improved by engineering host cells. The methods for enhancing Fc-mediated activity are scattered across different literature and patent reports. For example, β(1,4)-N-acetylglucosamine transferase III ( Antibodies prepared in CHO cells overexpressing GnTIII were significantly more potent than antibodies expressed in parental cells. All showed higher ADCC activity, with the difference in activity being approximately 10-20 times (Biotech ol Bioeng.(2001)Aug 20;74(4):288-94). However, overexpression of GnTIII itself is toxic to CHO cells, and its expression Since GnTIII is exogenous, the expression of GnTIII decreases with increasing passage number during the culture process. Therefore, when used as a host cell, the fucose content of the produced antibody is The homogeneity of the antibody drug is affected by the modification. Examples of cell lines that produce defucosylated antibodies include For this purpose, we used protein fucosylation-deficient Lec13 CHO cells (Ripka et al. Research. Biochem. Biophys. 249:533-545 (1986) However, the protein yield is extremely low, making it unsuitable as a host cell for therapeutic antibody production. Not suitable (Yutaka Kanda et al. Biotechnol Bioeng. (20 06)Jul 5;94(4):680-8). α-1-6 fucosyltransferase It was also found in CHO cells in which the gene FUT8 was knocked out (Yamane-Ohnuk i et al.(2004), Biotech. Bioeng.87:614) This leads to a reduction in the fucose content of antibodies. a The fucosylation process of antibodies was investigated in the FUT8 knockout cell line described in the Hakko patent. We have disclosed a method for controlling the level of cytotoxicity and enhancing ADCC (antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity) activity. The method involves suppressing the expression of the fut8 gene in a host cell using a specific siRNA. The method reduces the level of fucose in the antibodies produced by the host cells. has the same drawbacks as the CHO cell line overexpressing GnTIII mentioned above. It is necessary to introduce a foreign sequence into the target gene, and then to silence the target gene by siRNA. The efficiency is at most around 70%, and finally, the stability of siRNA expression is a key factor in the quality of antibody drugs. It may affect the attributes.
[0005] Recently, emerging genome editing technologies have been utilized to edit target genes in host cells and There are different methods for inactivating the FUT8 enzyme and reducing the fucose levels in antibodies, both in the literature and in patents. For example, Malphettes et al. (2010) reported that zinc finger Using ZFN technology, the gene was knocked out from the parent DG44 cells, resulting in homozygous A fut8 gene knockout DG44 derived clone was obtained and produced from the cell line. It has been reported that the antibody does not contain any fucose. ) employed TALEN technology to edit the fut8 gene in CHO-K1 cells to induce the growth of host cells. It has been reported that FUT8 enzyme activity in the cells is lost. ) edited the 10th exon of the fut8 gene using CRISPR / Cas9 technology. It was reported that this product abolished FUT8 enzyme activity in CHO-K1 cells. Summary of the Invention

Any non-essential modifications or adjustments made by the present invention are also included within the scope of the invention sought to be protected.
[0044] In the present invention, expressions such as "level" or "content" of the sugar moiety of an antibody are used in the same sense. Each of these terms refers to the mass ratio of a certain sugar moiety to the total sugar moieties of an antibody.
[0045] For example, in the present invention, "amino acids" refer to those that are encoded directly or as precursors from nucleic acids. A single amino acid can be synthesized from three nucleotides (so-called Codons, or triplet bases, are encoded by nucleic acids. , encoded by at least one codon. The same amino acid is coded by different codons. This is called "codon degeneracy." The term "amino acid" as used in this application means Alanine (three-letter code: ala, single letter code: alanine) is a naturally occurring carboxy α-amino acid. Mother code: A), arginine (arg, R), asparagine (asn, N), asparagine Phosphate (asp, D), cysteine (cys, C), glutamine (gln, Q), glutamine Phosphoric acid (glu, E), glycine (gly, G), histidine (his, H), isoleucine leucine (leu, L), lysine (lys, K), methionine (me t, M), phenylalanine (phe, F), proline (pro, P), serine (ser , S), threonine (thr, T), tryptothia (trp, W), tryptophan ( tyr (Y) and valine (val (V)).
[0046] In the present invention, the interchangeable terms "polynucleotide" or "nucleic acid" or "nucleic acid sequence" are used. It is a combination of the nucleotides (also called bases) a, c, g, and t (or in RNA). and u) a polymer molecule, such as DNA, RNA or a modified form thereof. The polynucleotide molecule may be a naturally occurring polynucleotide molecule or may be synthetic. a polynucleotide molecule that is identical to one or more naturally occurring polynucleotide molecules The definition may be a combination of one or more synthetic polynucleotide molecules. In this case, one or more of the nucleotides are changed (e.g., by mutagenesis) or deleted. The term "nucleic acid" also encompasses naturally occurring polynucleotide molecules with deletions or additions. It may be alone or in combination with other nucleic acids, such as expression cassettes, plasmids or host cell staining. Nucleic acids can be nucleic acid sequences composed of single nucleotides. For example, the amino acid sequence of a polypeptide can be characterized by Procedures and methods for transforming the corresponding nucleic acid sequences are well known to those skilled in the art. Thus, a nucleic acid is characterized by a nucleic acid sequence composed of corresponding single nucleotides. and may be characterized by the amino acid sequence of the polypeptide encoded thereby. It can also be done as follows.

[0048] In the present invention, a "polypeptide" is a molecule consisting of amino acids linked by peptide bonds. It is a polymer that can be natural or synthetic. A polypeptide having two or more amino acid residues is called a "peptide." A molecule made up of peptides, or a single polypeptide with more than 100 amino acid residues. Molecules that contain peptides are called "proteins." Polypeptides include, for example, glycosyltransferases. The non-amino acid components may be carboxylates, metal ions, or non-amino acid components. The components can be added to cells that express the polypeptide, with variations in cell type. Here, a polypeptide can be defined as a polypeptide having a structure of its amino acid backbone or a structure thereof. For example, glycosyl addition is usually not specified. However, the term "polypeptide" includes those that are present in amino acid molecules.

It is a nuclease that can cleave at mismatched positions. 8When edited by TALEN, the region containing the target sequence amplified from the parent genome and a region containing the targeting sequence amplified from the genome of the transformed cell. After denaturing and annealing, the annealed double-stranded DNA contains no base mismatches. The CEL-I enzyme then cuts the annealed double-stranded DNA, The expression revealed both bands in the agarose gel electrophoresis results. 5 CHO- BAT cells were collected and seeded in a 6-well plate the day before transfection. The plasmids L130N and R184N were The cells are transiently transfected using the methods provided in the reagent description. Three days after transfection, cells were harvested by centrifugation and genomes were extracted using a genome extraction kit.

[0061] Example 4 Effect of FUT8 TALEN protein on the fucose content of antibodies
[0062] The designed FUT8 TALEN protein regulates the host genome. The aim of this study was to determine whether the sugar chains of the antibodies affected the fucose content of the L The 130N and R184N plasmids were used to stably express the established anti-CD20 antibody. The cell lines were transiently transfected using Lipofectamine 2000 ( I referred to the method provided in the Invitrogen reagent description. In cell culture dish inner, 1 x 10 6 L130 cells, respectively 24 μL of liposomes containing 4 μg of N and R184N plasmid DNA was added. Two days after transfection, 10% (v / v) FBS (GBICO) and 400 μg / m The medium was replaced with DMEM / F12 containing LLCA (Vector). After one week, the cells Most of the cells became round and were suspended in the medium, while some of the cells adhered and grew normally. LCA-resistant cells were digested with 0.25% (v / v) trypsin and centrifuged. The cells were resuspended in DMEM / F12 medium containing 100% (v / v) FBS. After two weeks of culture, monoclonal cells were selected. The cells grown in the 24-well plate were analyzed by FACS. Cells that were analyzed and showed negative binding to FITC-labeled LCA (Figure 4) were scaled up. The antibodies were cultured and produced. The oligosaccharide content of the antibodies produced from the two types of cells was Measurements were performed by Biodonor, and the results are shown in Figure 5.
[0063] As a result, transient transfection of L130 and R184 plasmids into antibody-producing cells was performed. The transfection reduced the fucose content of the antibody.
[0064] Example 5 Establishment of genome-modified host cells
[0065] Genome-tuned CHO-K1 for the production of fucose-free proteins and antibodies To establish the cells, the L130 and R184 plasmids were transiently transfected into the CHO-K1 cell line. The screening of anti-LCA monoclonal cells was carried out as described in Example 3. The genomes of the candidate cell clones were extracted, and the primers L130 for (Table 1, SEQ ID NO. 1) and primer L130 rev( The candidate cell clones were subjected to PCR reaction using the sequences shown in Table 1 and SEQ ID NO. 2. CEL-1 base mismatches were detected in the PCR amplification products of the target sequence region. If the candidate clones were heterozygous, they were analyzed by agarose electrophoresis after enzymatic digestion with CEL-1. In electrophoresis, both bands are present, and if the gene is homozygous, it is not digested with CEL-1. Since the PCR fragment cannot be separated, it shows one band in agarose gel electrophoresis. The vector was directly cloned into a T vector (pGEM-T Easy Vector), The sequencing results and the frequency of the corresponding region in the parent cells were compared. The pair ratio of the fragment sequences is shown in Figure 6. The homozygous clones were selected and designated CHO-2G8 and CHO-1D6.

T-KF and one strain of CHO-BAT were inoculated into a small 125 mL roller bottle. 0.5 mL of cells were taken on days 0, 3, 6, and 7, and counted to determine the cell density and The changes in growth characteristics of cells after Fut8 gene knockout were measured by measuring cell viability. The cell growth density is shown in Figure 7, and the cell growth proliferation ability is shown in Figure 8. As shown in Fig. 1, CHO-BAT-KF, in which the fut8 gene was knocked out, There was no significant difference in growth density and activity compared to CHO-BAT cells in which the gene was not knocked out. stomach.
[0068] Example 7 Analysis of the glycosylation spectrum of antibodies produced from host cells
[0069] Glycosylation of antibodies produced from the genome-modified CHO-2G8 cell line described in this invention To confirm that the mutant N-glycosylation is present, protein A affinity chromatography was performed. BAT4306F was produced from CHO-2G8 cells in the culture medium, and BAT4306F was produced from CHO-K1 cells. The 4306 produced from the 4306 was purified and quantified by UV280. The monoclonal antibody (1 mg) was incubated with PNGaseF overnight at 37°C to separate the antibody into N-terminal fragments. The released N-glycans were purified by 30K Amicon ultrafiltration. The flow-through was lyophilized and resuspended in 200 μl deionized water. MALDI-TOF MS mass spectrometer was used to detect the N-glycosides from both of the antibody molecules mentioned above. The BAT430 produced from CHO-2G8 was analyzed by MALDI-TOF MS. The oligosaccharides of the 6F antibody were present in a single peak and were essentially the same population. The population belonged to the oligosaccharides of antibody 4306 produced by the parent host cells. This spectrum is different from that of the previous one (Figure 9).
[0070] As a result, the three peaks of N-polysaccharide of 4306 were G0F, G1F, and G2F, respectively. The time when the N-polysaccharide peak of BAT4306F appeared and the molecular weight indicated that the N-polysaccharide peak was 3. The three peaks were estimated to be G0, G1, and G2, respectively, i.e., N-polysaccharides from 4306. There is one less fucose per N-polysaccharide from BAT4306F than from BAT4306F.
[0071] At the same time, the heterogeneity of the glycans of the commercially available Gazyva was compared to that of BAT4306F. The results of analyzing the degree of heterogeneity of the N-polysaccharide of BAT4306F are shown in Figure 10. The heterologous glycans produced from CHO-BAT-KF cells were The sugar chain types of the antibodies were analyzed. The results are shown in Table 4.

[0073] Modification of antibodies with N-polysaccharides of the present invention may enhance the biological function (e.g., ADCC activity) of the antibody. To determine whether CD20 enhances the immune response, a purified antibody targeted to CD20 was used. The in vitro ADCC activity of these cells was measured (LDH method, Promega). The antibody was isolated from the medium by a protein A affinity column and produced by CHO-2G8 cells. The BAT4306F antibody was purified and quantified using UV280. The 4306 antibody was expressed in wild-type CHO cells and purified in a similar manner. To achieve this, Wil2-s cells were cultured in RPMI-1640 medium containing 10% FBS. The cells are in good condition (4-7 days). Take the cells in the logarithmic growth phase and centrifuge them at 1000 rpm for 10 minutes. The supernatant was discarded.

The effector cells, PBMC, were collected and cultured in solution B (serum-free phenol- The cells were centrifuged and washed twice in the same manner as above. Count and culture 3 x 10 cells in solution B. 5 Adjust to 50 μg / ml, mix well, and add 50 μg per well. The cells were then added to the U-96 well cell culture plate at 1 μL. The cells were then incubated at 37°C in 5% CO The cells were placed in a centrifuge tube and incubated for 3 hours. When 45 minutes remained in the 3-hour incubation period, the target cells were first Add 20 μl of lysis solution to the large release well and incubate at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator for 45 min. The culture was continued. The U-96 well cell culture plate was placed in a centrifuge and centrifuged at 250 g for 4 min. 50 μl / well of the supernatant was transferred to another flat-bottom 96-well plate. Add 50 μl of the prepared colorimetric substrate solution to each well, shake gently to mix well, and let stand at room temperature for 30 min. The reaction was averted from light. 50 μl of stop solution was added to each well, and the plate was gently shaken to mix well. The results were read at OD490 using a thermometer reader.
[0074] The results showed that the 4306 produced in serum-free medium was significantly higher than that produced in unmodified CHO cells. BAT4306F, which has N-polysaccharide produced from CHO-2G8 cell clone, was R The ADCC activity against aji cells and Wil2-s cells is significantly improved (Fig. 11).

[0078] Example 10 Ability of BAT4306F to eliminate B cells in whole blood of different NHL patients In Vitro Assessment of Force
[0079] The mechanism of action of anti-CD20 antibodies in B lymphoma patients is being investigated directly by ADCC and CDC. However, there are various mechanisms for the induction of B cell apoptosis, including the specific type of anti-CD20 The effect of antibodies is not to enhance a single mechanism of action, but rather to develop a mechanism that will eventually This is reflected by the ability to eliminate B cells in the patient. To determine whether the modification enhances its ability to eliminate B cells, In vitro BAT4306F depletes B cells in whole blood from different NHL patients The biofunction of the heparin sodium anticoagulation tube was evaluated. Approximately 3 mL of blood was taken from a patient newly diagnosed with NHL. The blood was left to stand at room temperature and stored. 90 μL of each sample was taken and placed in a new FACS tube. The final antibody concentrations in the test samples in each tube were 10 nM, 1 nM, and 0 Add 0.1 nM, 0.01 nM, and 0.001 nM of each sample to each tube. 10 μL of BAT4306F antibody diluted solution at different concentrations was added. The plate was then placed in a 37°C incubator for 3 After leaving the tubes for 4 hours, 50 μL of blood was taken from each tube and analyzed using BD TruCount In addition to the tubes, BD's B cell counting antibody mixture (anti-CD45 (lymphocyte population)) was added to the blood. ), anti-CD3 (T cells), or anti-CD19 (B cells) was added. The cells were incubated at room temperature in the dark for 15 min. After leaving the cells to stand, BD FACS lysis solution was added, and the cells were placed on the instrument and measured (BD C6). The results are shown in Figure 12.
[0080] As a result, the BAT4306F antibody was found to eliminate B cells at the three concentration levels tested. The ability to do this is stronger than that of the antibody rituximab, which has not had any N-glycosylation modifications.
