Abstract
Description
Cross - Reference to Related Applications
[0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Patent Application No. 62 / 506,674, filed May 16, 2017 The disclosure of the prior application is considered to be part of the disclosure of this application (and is incorporated by reference into the disclosure of this application).
[0002] (Statement Regarding Federal Government Funds) This invention was made with government support under grant number CA62924 from the National Institutes of Health The United States government has certain rights in this invention.
Technical Field
[0003] (1. Technical Field) This document relates to methods and materials for evaluating a mammal having or suspected of having cancer and / or for treating a mammal having cancer. For example this document provides methods and materials for treating a mammal having cancer using a molecule comprising one or more antigen - binding domains (e.g., single - chain variable fragments (scFv)) that can bind to a modified peptide (e.g., a tumor antigen).
Background Art
[0004] (2. Background Information) Somatic mutations in cancer are ideal targets for cancer therapy because they are specifically expressed only in tumor cells and not in normal cells. In particular there are advantages to targeting driver gene proteins (broadly subdivided into oncogene proteins and tumor suppressor proteins). First resistance is less likely to occur due to dependence on the tumorigenic ability of the tumor. Second these mutations usually occur early in tumor growth, so essentially all daughter cancer cells contain the mutation will occur. Finally, driver gene proteins tend to have hotspot mutations shared among many patients, so treatment methods targeting a single mutation can be applied to a wide range of patient populations. Most mutant proteins, including most mutant driver gene proteins, are intracellular. Small molecules can target intracellular proteins, but the development of small molecules that can specifically inhibit the activity of mutant driver genes rather than their wild-type (wt) counterparts has remained out of reach for most such driver gene proteins. Antibodies that can distinguish single amino acid mutations can typically only target extracellular epitopes.
[0005] SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION PROBLEMS TO BE SOLVED BY THE INVENTION
[0006] The immune system samples the intracellular contents of cells through antigen processing and presentation. Following proteolysis, some of the resulting peptides are loaded onto human leukocyte antigen (HLA) and sent to the cell surface, where they function for T cells to distinguish self-peptides from non-self peptides via the T cell receptor (TCR). For example, virus-infected cells present viral peptides on their HLA and cause T cells to kill the cells. Similarly, in cancer, mutant peptides are presented on HLA on the surface of cancer cells, which is abbreviated as Mutation-Associated Neo-Antigen or MANA. In some cases, to varying degrees, patients have these mutant peptide-HLA may initiate an anti-cancer T cell response against neoantigens, and checkpoint blockade antibodies further enhance this response. However, many patients, especially those with low mutational burdens, are unable to initiate a sufficient anti-cancer T cell response. Therefore, a therapy or diagnostic method that specifically targets MANA can provide a truly tumor-specific approach for diagnosing or treating cancer.
[0007] HLA class I proteins are present on all nucleated cells. There are three classical HLA class I genes, A, B, and C, each of which is highly polymorphic. Each HLA allele has a specific peptide-binding motif, such that only specific peptides will bind to a particular HLA allele.
[0008] In the art, there continues to be a need to develop new methods for diagnosing, monitoring, and effectively treating cancer.
[0009] This document provides methods and materials for treating a mammal having cancer. For example, this document provides methods and materials using one or more molecules comprising one or more antigen-binding domains (e.g., scFv ) that can bind to a modified peptide (e.g., a modified peptide present in a peptide-HLA-b2M complex) to treat a mammal having cancer (e.g., a cancer that expresses the modified peptide). Optionally, one or more molecules comprising one or more antigen-binding domains (e.g., scFv) that can bind to a modified peptide (e.g., a modified peptide present in a peptide-HLA-b2M complex) are administered to a mammal having cancer (e.g., a cancer that expresses the modified peptide), and thereby treating the mammal. Mammals can be treated.
Means for Solving the Problems
[0010] As demonstrated herein, single-chain variable fragments (scFvs) that target multiple mutation-associated neoantigens (MANAs) present in the peptide-HLA-b2M complex in many acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cases (e.g., bind to them) have been identified. Also, as demonstrated herein, using the scFvs, both chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells (CART; also abbreviated as CAR T or CAR-T) and bispecific antibodies that can recognize and kill cells expressing MANA have been designed. The ability to specifically target MANA provides tumor-specific methods for diagnosing and / or treating cancer. For example, an scFv that specifically targets MANA can be used in a full-length antibody or a fragment thereof, an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), an antibody-radionuclide conjugate, CART, or a bispecific antibody to diagnose and / or treat mammals having cancer. targeting multiple mutation-associated neoantigens (MANAs) present in the peptide-HLA-b2M complex (e.g., bind to) have been identified.

[0057] The present invention will be further illustrated by the following examples, which do not limit the scope of the present invention described in the claims.
Example
[0058] (Example 1: Identification of additional MANA body clones and conversion of MANA body clones to T cell-based therapeutic types) In this study, two phage display libraries were designed and constructed, both displaying single-chain variable fragments (scFv) on the phage surface. The scFv present in both libraries were based on a humanized 4D5 (trastuzumab) framework with introduced variability of amino acids at important positions in the complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) of the scFv.
[0059] Using the phage display library, scFv specifically recognizing mutant-containing peptides folded into complexes with recombinant HLA allele alpha chains and beta-2 microglobulin (b2M) were identified. These complexes, also referred to herein as monomers, mimic the natural peptide / HLA complexes on the cancer cell surface.
[0060] Peptide HLA targets may include the mutant peptides shown in Table 1 (e.g., mutation-related neoantigens (MAN A)). Phases that can specifically bind to the peptide HLA targets in Table 1 The complementary determining regions (CDRs) are shown in Table 2. Peptides that specifically bind to the HLA targets in Table 1 The scFvs that can do so are shown in Table 3. These scFvs can bind to mutation-related neoantigens and can also be called MANA bodies because of their ability to do so.

The scFv is the wt version of the peptide of interest in the complex with the same HLA allele did not recognize. scFvs did not recognize other control peptides in the complex with HLA alleles when tested for binding to ELISA plates coated with monomers.
[0064] Furthermore, using flow cytometry, it was shown that scFv clones of the MANA body specifically stained HLA allele-matched cell lines when these cells were pulsed with mutant peptides rather than wt peptides or other control peptides (Figure 2-14).
[0065] To demonstrate that MANA body clones can be utilized as a therapy, selected MANA body clones were incorporated into CAR-T cells. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells (CART) were engineered to recognize and kill cells expressing oncogenic mutation-containing peptides via the endogenous processing and presentation machinery of HLA molecules. Specifically, CARs targeting mutant KRAS G12V peptides presented in HLA-A3 and CARTs targeting mutant IDH2 R140Q peptides presented in HLA-B7 were engineered. MANA body scFvs targeting either mutant peptide were grafted into third-generation CAR constructs, and the CAR receptor was expressed in CD3+ T cells by mRNA electroporation. Subsequently, the CAR-T cells were co-cultured with COS-7 cells co-transfected with plasmids encoding KRAS / IDH2 mutants and wt proteins in combination with their respective HLA. T cells, including CAR-T cells, produce cytokines upon activation by allogeneic antigens on target cells, so the co-culture supernatant The release of IFNγ from the mutant and homologous H cells was measured by ELISA. IFNγ levels above background only when cotransfected with LA plasmid There was a significant release of β-heptane (β-heptane) (Figure 15). CAR-T cells co-cultured with S-7 cells released only background levels of IFNγ. Taken together, these findings support the efficacy and safety of CAR-T cells expressing the MANA Body clone. The cells can target tumor cells expressing MANA, which is presented on HLA molecules. This suggests that
[0066] To demonstrate that MANA body clones can be used as a therapeutic approach, we The ANA body clones were integrated into a bispecific antibody. One antibody binds to the target cancer cell.

[0068] Three IDH2 R140Q combined with two different anti-CD3 scFv clones Representative scDb co-culture results of HLA-B7 MANA body scFv clones are shown in Figure 1 6A. T cells were co-transfected with COS-7 cells transfected with plasmids encoding HLA-B7, full-length IDH2 variants, and / or GFP and the indicated concentrations of scDb and co-cultured in the presence of. As a readout of T cell activation by the alloantigen on the target cells, the release of IFNγ in the co-culture supernatant was measured by ELISA. Only when COS-7 cells were co-transfected with HLA- B7 and mutant IDH2 R140Q plasmids was there significant T cell release of IFNγ above background, and the level of IFNγ was dependent on the concentration of scDb included in the well. T cells co-cultured with COS-7 cells co-transfected with HLA- B7 and wt IDH2 released only background levels of I FNγ. Representative scDb co-culture results of the KRAS G12V HLA-A3 MANA body scFv clone combined with an anti-CD3 clone into a single-chain diabody are shown in Figure 16B. In this co-culture, the single-chain diabody was tested at concentrations of 0, 50, and 1 00 ng / mL. Only when COS-7 cells were co-transfected with HLA-A3 and mutant KRAS G12V plasmids was there significant T cell release of IFNγ above background. T cells co-transfected with HLA-A3 and wt KRAS released only background levels of I FNγ. clone into a single-chain diabody are shown in Figure 16B. In this co-culture, the single-chain diabody was tested at concentrations of 0, 50, and 1 00 ng / mL. Only when COS-7 cells were co-transfected with HLA-A3 and mutant KRAS G12V plasmids was there significant T cell release of IFNγ above background. T cells co-transfected with HLA-A3 and wt KRAS released only background levels of I FNγ. T cells co-cultured with transfected COS-7 cells released IFNγ at background levels similar to those seen in wells without T cells, without target cells, and without scDb Only. Along with its isogene HLA-A3 knockout control, the endogenous KRAS G12V HLA-A3 positive cell line NCI-H441 as a target cell line was used. IFNγ release was only seen for the parental NCI-H441 cell line and not for HLA-A3 knockout NCI -H441. Together, these findings suggest bispecific antibodies containing MANA body clones targeting tumor cells expressing MANA presented in HLA molecules . To evaluate the effectiveness of using MANA body clones as a therapy, the CellTiter-Glo reagent from Promega was used to assay the viability of target cells of KRAS G12V HLA -A3 single-chain diabody (Figure 17). CellTiter-Glo measures the ATP concentration in the well, which is proportional to the number of live cells. By subtracting the CellTiter-Glo value from wells with T cells and normalizing to wells with only target cells, the viability of target cells was measured. Significant target cell death was only observed when NCI-H441 parental cells were incubated with T cells in the presence of KRAS G12V-A3 scDb or the pan-HLA-A3 scDb positive control.

[0073] (Construction of phage display libraries) For the first-generation phage library, oligonucleotides were synthesized by DNA 2.0 (Menlo Park, CA) using mixed and split-pool degenerate oligonucleotide synthesis. For the second-generation phage library, oligonucleotides were synthesized using trinucleotide mutagenesis (TRIM) technology by GeneArt® (Thermo Fisher, Gaithersburg, MD). For both libraries, the oligonucleotides were incorporated into the pADL-10b phagemid (Antibody Design Labs, San Diego, CA). This phagemid contains an F1 origin of replication, a transcriptional repressor that restricts non-induced expression, a lac operator -promoter, and a lac repressor. The scFv was synthesized using the pelB periplasmic secretion signal peptide and subcloned downstream of the lac operator. In the first-generation library, a myc epitope tag followed by a TEV protease cleavage recognition sequence was placed immediately downstream of the variable heavy chain, and in the second-generation library, the scFv was followed by a FLAG tag. Following the scFv, tag, and cleavage site, there was a full-length in-frame M13 pIII coat protein sequence.
