Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present application provides human, humanized and non-human anti-MUC1 * This application relates to antibodies and methods of making and using them. This application also relates to the use of immune cells transfected or transduced with a cleavage enzyme for the treatment of cancer. The present invention also relates to the use of immune cells transfected or transduced with a CAR and another protein for the treatment of cancer. [Background technology]
[0002] The present inventors previously discovered that a truncated form of the MUC1 (SEQ ID NO: 1) transmembrane protein is the growth factor receptor that drives the growth of more than 75% of all human cancers. * The truncated form of MUC1, termed the (prominent muk 1 star) is a potent growth factor receptor. Cleavage and release of most of the extracellular domain of MUC1 results in the formation of dimers NME1, NME6, NME7, and NME7. AB , exposing binding sites for activating NME7-X1 or NME8 ligands. It is an ideal target for cancer drugs because it is aberrantly expressed in over 75% of all cancers and is likely overexpressed in a particularly high percentage of metastatic cancers (Mahanta et al. (2008) A Minimal Fragment of MUC1 Mediates Growth of Cancer Cells. PLoS ONE 3(4):e2054. doi:10.1371 / journal.pone.0002054; Fessler et al. (2009), "MUC1 *“MUC1 is a determinant of trastuzumab (Herceptin) resistance in breast cancer cells,” Breast Cancer Res Treat. 118(1):113-124). After MUC1 cleavage, most of its extracellular domain is shed from the cell surface. The remaining portion has a truncated extracellular domain that contains most or all of the primary growth factor receptor sequence called PSMGFR (SEQ ID NO: 2).
[0003] Antibodies are increasingly being used to treat human diseases. Antibodies generated in non-human species, such as equine antibodies, have historically been used as human therapeutics. More recently, antibodies have been engineered or selected to contain most or all human sequences to avoid systemic rejection of the foreign antibody. The process of engineering recognition fragments of non-human antibodies into human antibodies is commonly referred to as "humanization." The amount of non-human sequence used to replace human antibody sequences determines whether they are referred to as chimeric, humanized, or fully human.
[0004] Alternative technologies exist that allow for the generation of humanized or fully human antibodies. These strategies involve screening libraries of human antibodies or antibody fragments to identify those that bind to the target antigen, rather than immunizing animals with the antigen. Another approach is to engineer the variable regions of antibodies into antibody-like molecules. Another approach involves immunizing humanized animals. The present invention also provides a method for the production of humanized antibodies that the inventors have identified as MUC1. * It is intended to encompass these approaches for use with recognition fragments of antibodies determined to bind to the extracellular domain of .
[0005] In addition to treating patients with antibodies, cancer immunotherapy has recently shown promise in treating hematologic cancers. One cancer immunotherapy, called CAR T (chimeric antigen receptor T cell) therapy, involves engineering T cells to express chimeric receptors with an extracellular domain that recognizes tumor antigens, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic tail containing T cell signaling and costimulatory components (Dai H, Wang Y, Lu X, Han W. (2016) Chimeric Antigen Receptors Modified T cells for Cancer Therapy. J Natl Cancer Inst. 108(7):djv439). Such receptors consist of a single-chain antibody fragment (scFv) that recognizes a tumor antigen linked to a T cell transmembrane domain, a signaling domain, and one or more costimulatory domains. When the receptor binds to a cancer-associated antigen, a signal is transmitted, leading to T cell activation, proliferation, and targeted killing of cancer cells. In practice, T cells are isolated from a patient or donor, transduced with a CAR, expanded, and then injected back into the patient. When derived from a donor, immune cells can be mutated or engineered so that they do not induce the graft to fight host disease in the recipient. When CAR T cells bind to an antigen on a cancer cell, they attack the cancer cell and then expand the T cell population.
[0006] To date, CAR T therapy has been highly successful in treating hematologic cancers, but its efficacy against human solid tumors has yet to be demonstrated. Because most hematologic cancers are B-cell malignancies, CAR T cells can eliminate virtually all of a patient's B cells without causing serious harm to the patient. Solid tumors lack a B-cell equivalent. Most tumor-associated antigens are also expressed in normal tissues; they are simply expressed at higher levels in cancerous tissues. Therefore, the challenge is to develop antibodies that recognize epitopes of tumor-associated antigens that are somewhat different in the context of normal tissue versus tumor. To further minimize the risk of off-tumor / on-target killing of normal tissue, antibodies should recognize and bind to cancerous tissue at least twice as often as normal tissue. Less cancer-selective antibodies can be used therapeutically if they are inducibly expressed at the tumor site.
[0007] Another cancer therapy incorporating cancer-selective antibodies is a bispecific T cell engager, also known as a BiTE. The BiTE approach attempts to eliminate the CAR T-associated risk of extratumoral / off-target effects. Unlike CAR T, BiTEs are bispecific antibodies and should not pose any greater risk than conventional antibody-based therapies. However, unlike typical anti-cancer antibodies that bind to and block cancer antigens, BiTEs are designed to bind to antigens on tumor cells and simultaneously bind to antigens on immune cells such as T cells. In this way, BiTEs recruit T cells to tumors. BiTEs are engineered proteins that simultaneously bind to cancer-associated antigens and T cell surface proteins, such as CD3-epsilon. BiTEs are antibodies created by genetically linking the scFv of an antibody that binds to a T cell antigen, such as anti-CD3-epsilon, to the scFv of a therapeutic monoclonal antibody that binds to a cancer antigen (Patrick A. Baeuerle, and Carsten Reinhardt (2009) Bispecific T cell engaging antibodies for cancer therapy. Cancer Res. 69(12):4941-4944). The drawback of BiTE technology is that, unlike CAR T cells, they do not proliferate in patients, resulting in limited persistence.
[0008] Yet another cancer treatment incorporating cancer-selective antibodies is antibody-drug conjugate technology, also known as ADC. In this case, a toxin or toxin precursor is linked to the cancer-selective antibody. Unlike CAR T cells, which use the natural killing of CD8+ T cells to kill cancer cells, ADCs deliver a toxic payload to tumors. Disadvantages of ADCs include the potential for delivering a toxic payload to normal cells and the fact that most ADCs require binding to cell surface molecules and then internalization after binding, resulting in cell death requiring approximately 10,000 surface molecules.

[0057] In the above-mentioned CAR, any part of the variable region described above or a combination thereof can be used in the extracellular domain of the CAR.The CAR also includes a transmembrane region and a cytoplasmic tail containing a sequence motif that signals immune system activation.The extracellular domain can be composed of mouse, camelid, human, non-human, or humanized single-chain antibody fragments of MNC2, MNE6, 20A10, 3C2B1, 5C6F3, 25E6, 18G12, 28F9, 1E4, B12, B2, B7, B9, 8C7F3, and H11.Other antibodies from which single-chain antibody fragments can be produced include those that do not recognize linear epitopes or that have the same or very similar binding patterns to a subset of peptides derived from PSMGFR peptides, and those that do not recognize MUC1. * NME1 or NME7 AB or recognize the MUC1 transmembrane cleavage products produced by cleavage by MMP9, or contain CDR sequences at least 80% homologous to the MNC2, MNE6, 20A10, 3C2B1, 5C6F3, 25E6, 18G12, 28F9, 1E4, B12, B2, B7, B9, 8C7F3, and H11 CDR consensus sequences.
[0058] In the above-described CARs, the extracellular domain may comprise a murine, camelid, human, non-human, or humanized single-chain antibody fragment of MNE6 scFv shown as SEQ ID NO: 233, 235, or 237, MNC2 scFv (SEQ ID NO: 239, 241, 243, 655, or 5017-5020), 20A10 scFv shown as SEQ ID NO: 1575, 1577, 1579, 1581, or 5001-5012, 3C2B1 scFv shown as SEQ ID NO: 1573 or 1813, 5C6F3 scFv shown as SEQ ID NO: 1385 or 1815, or 25E6 scFv shown as SEQ ID NO: 1599 or 1601.
[0059] In the process of humanizing an antibody, the sequence must be annotated to identify different functional regions, such as complementarity-determining regions (CDRs), framework regions, and constant regions. Various computer programs are available that assign specific sequences to CDRs, framework regions, and constant regions. Depending on the program used, the exact position where one region ends and the next region begins may vary by a few amino acids. Typically, a humanized single-chain construct, scFv, contains heavy and light chain CDRs supported by intervening framework regions, with the heavy and light chains connected via a flexible linker. Depending on the annotation program used, the sequence assigned to framework region IV may extend into the constant region. In some cases, extending framework region IV may confer greater stability to the scFv. Here, we provide sequences of humanized scFvs of the present invention in which the length of framework region IV of the light chain may vary. For example, in some cases, the C-terminus of framework region IV terminates with amino acids R and T. In other cases, it terminates with only R. In still other cases, both the R and T terminals are omitted. In the CARs described herein, the extracellular domain can comprise a murine, camelid, human, non-human, or humanized single chain antibody fragment with framework region IV having variable lengths shown as MNE6 scFv (SEQ ID NO: 5014 or 5016), MNC2 scFv (SEQ ID NO: 5018 or 5020), or 20A10 scFv (SEQ ID NO: 5002, 5004, 5006, 5008, 5010, or 5012) or 25E6 scFv (SEQ ID NO: 5030 or 5032).
[0060] In any of the CARs described herein, the cytoplasmic tail may be composed of one or more signaling sequence motifs and costimulatory domains, including, but not limited to, CD3-zeta, CD3-zeta-1XX, CD27, CD28, 4-1BB, OX40, CD30, CD40, ICAm-1, LFA-1, ICOS, CD2, CD5, or CD7. Furthermore, the sequence of the intracellular signaling domain may contain mutations that attenuate the signal to improve persistence or improve killing of low antigen density tumor cells. The cytoplasmic tail may be composed of one or more signaling sequence motifs and costimulatory sequence motifs: CD3-zeta, CD27, CD28, 4-1BB, OX40, CD30, CD40, ICAm-1, LFA-1, ICOS, CD2, CD5, or CD7. The transmembrane and extracellular hinge regions of the CAR may or may not be derived from the sequence of the adjacent costimulatory domain. For example, a CAR containing a 4-1BB costimulatory domain can have transmembrane and hinge regions derived from CD8 or CD28. In another example, a CAR containing a CD28 costimulatory domain can have transmembrane and hinge regions derived from CD28. In any of the above CARs, the cytoplasmic tail can contain deletions or mutations that attenuate signaling. Such deletions or mutations in one or more of the three immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs, also known as ITAMs, increase the persistence of CAR-bearing cells and decrease their differentiation, as measured by an increase in the CD62L+CD45RA- population. Such mutations include, but are not limited to, tyrosines mutated to inhibit phosphorylation and signaling (Salter et al., 2018). In another embodiment, one or two ITAMs are deleted, leaving only one or two ITAMs (Feucht et al., 2019). In another embodiment, the position of one or more included ITAMs is moved closer to the costimulatory domain. Suitable ITAM configurations for increasing CAR persistence include, but are not limited to, 1XX, X2X, XX3, 12X, and 23X, where the numbers 1, 2, or 3 refer to ITAM1, ITAM2, or ITAM3, and X refers to a deletion of the ITAM in question.In a preferred embodiment, ITAM1, also known as 1XX, is the only functional ITAM included in the CAR construct. In any of the above CARs, the ITAMs of CD3-zeta can be deleted or mutated to inhibit or suppress signaling. In any of the above CARs, the CD3 cytoplasmic tail can contain deletions or mutations of ITAMs, including those called 1XX (Feucht et al., 2019; SEQ ID NOs: 1796-1797). In any of the above CARs, T cells can be engineered to overexpress c-Jun as a way to suppress T cell exhaustion (Lynn et al., 2019).

[0063] In another aspect, the present invention relates to a composition comprising at least two CARs with different extracellular domain units transfected into the same cell, which may be an immune cell derived from a patient in need of cancer treatment. Expression of the second CAR may be inducible and driven by target recognition by the first CAR. The nucleic acid encoding the second CAR may be linked to an inducible promoter. Expression of the second CAR may be induced by an event that specifically occurs when immune cells initiate an immune response against target tumor cells. One or both antibody fragments of the CARs may induce cells to recognize MUC1. * The antibody fragments of the first and second CARs can target MUC1-positive tumors. The antibody fragments of the first and second CARs target MUC1, which is produced when MUC1 is cleaved by two different cleavage enzymes. * Expression of the second CAR by an inducible promoter allows the antibody fragment of the first CAR to bind to MUC1 or MUC1 in the tumor. * The NFAT protein can be induced upon engagement or binding to the NFAT protein. One way to achieve this is to induce expression of the second CAR when, or shortly after, the NFAT protein is expressed or translocated to the nucleus. For example, a sequence derived from the NFAT promoter region is placed upstream of the gene for the second CAR. In this way, if transcription factors that bind to the promoter of the NFAT protein are present at a concentration sufficient to bind to the NFAT protein and induce transcription, they will also bind to the same promoter engineered in front of the sequence for transcription of the second CAR. The NFAT protein can be NFAT1, also known as NFATc2, NFAT2, also known as NFATc or NFATc1, NFAT3, also known as NFATc4, NFAT4, also known as NFATc3, or NFAT5. In one embodiment of the present invention, the NFAT is NFATc1, NFATc3, or NFATc2. In one embodiment of the present invention, the NFAT is NFAT2, also known as NFATc1. SEQ ID NO: 646 shows the nucleic acid sequence of the upstream transcriptional regulatory region for NFAT2. The recognition unit of the second CAR can be an antibody fragment or a peptide, and the recognition unit can bind to NME7, PD-1, PDL-1, or a checkpoint inhibitor.

[0175] [Figure 1]Figures 1A-1D show cell proliferation assay graphs of MUC1*-positive cells treated with either bivalent "bv" anti-MUC1* antibodies, monovalent "mv" or Fab, NM23-H1 dimer, or NME7-AB. Bivalent anti-MUC1* antibodies stimulate cancer cell proliferation, whereas monovalent Fab inhibits proliferation (Figures 1A-1B). The classic bell-shaped curve indicates that ligand-induced dimerization stimulates proliferation. Dimeric NM23-H1, also known as NME1, stimulates proliferation of MUC1*-positive cancer cells, whereas siRNA inhibiting MUC1 expression abolishes this effect (Figure 1C). NME7-AB also stimulates proliferation of MUC1*-positive cells (Figure 1D). [Figure 2] Figures 2A-2I show the results of ELISA assays. The MUC1* peptide PSMGFR, PSMGFR minus 10 amino acids from the N-terminus (also known as N-10), or PSMGFR minus 10 amino acids from the C-terminus (also known as C-10), was immobilized on a plate and assayed for binding to: NME7-AB (Figure 2A), MNC2 monoclonal antibody (Figure 2B), MNE6 monoclonal antibody (Figure 2C), or dimeric NME1 (Figure 2D). These assays demonstrate that NME1, NME7-AB, and monoclonal antibodies MNC2 and MNE6 all require the first membrane-proximal 10 amino acids of the MUC1* extracellular domain for binding. The MUC1* peptide, PSMGFR minus 10 amino acids from the N-terminus (also known as N-10), or PSMGFR minus 10 amino acids from the C-terminus (also known as C-10), was immobilized on a plate and assayed for binding to: MNC3 (Figure 2E) and MNC8 (Figure 2F). Figure 2G shows the amino acid sequences of the PSMGFR peptides, Figure 2H shows the amino acid sequences of the N-10 peptide, and Figure 2I shows the amino acid sequences of the C-10 peptide. [Figure 3]Figures 3A-3C show the results of a competitive ELISA assay. The PSMGFR MUC1* peptide was immobilized on a plate, and the dimer NM23-H1, also known as NME1, was added alone or after the addition of the MNE6 antibody (Figure 3A). The same experiment was performed in which NM23-H7, NME7-AB, alone or after the addition of MNE6 (Figure 3B). The results show that MNE6 competitively inhibits the binding of the MUC1* activating ligands NME1 and NME7. In a similar experiment (Figure 3C), PSMGFR, or the N-terminal minus 10 amino acids of PSMGFR, also known as N-10, was immobilized on a plate. The dimer NM23-H1 was then added. The anti-MUC1* antibodies MNE6, MNC2, MNC3, or MNC8 were then tested for their ability to compete with NM23-H1. The results show that all three antibodies bind to the PSMGFR peptide, but MNE6 and MNC2 competitively inhibit the binding of MUC1* activating ligands. [Figure 4]Figures 4A–4F show FACS scans of the anti-MUC1* antibody huMNC2 scFv, which specifically binds to MUC1*-positive cancer cells and MUC1*-transfected cells but not to MUC1*- or MUC1*-negative cells. ZR-75-1, also known as 1500, MUC1*-positive breast cancer cells were stained with 1.5 μg / ml humanized MNC2 at a 1:2 or 1:10 dilution. After two washes, cells were stained with a secondary antibody, anti-penta-His antibody, conjugated to Alexa 488 (Qiagen) at a dilution of 1:200 (Figure 4A), 1:50 (Figure 4B), or 1:10 (Figure 4C) to detect the 6xHis tag of huMNC2 scFv. Figure 4A shows the binding of huMNC2 to ZR-75-1 breast cancer cells to which the secondary antibody was added at a dilution of 1:200. Figure 4B shows huMNC2 binding to ZR-75-1 breast cancer cells with secondary antibody added at a 1:50 dilution. Figure 4C shows huMNC2 binding to ZR-75-1 breast cancer cells with secondary antibody added at a 1:10 dilution. Flow cytometry analysis revealed a concentration-dependent shift in cell subsets, demonstrating specific binding not seen in the absence of MNC2 scFv (Figures 4A-4C). Figure 4D shows anti-MUC1* antibody MNE6 staining of MUC1-negative HCT-116 colon cancer cells transfected with empty vector, single-cell clone #8. Figure 4E shows anti-MUC1* antibody MNE6 staining of HCT-116 colon cancer cells transfected with MUC1* single-cell clone #10. Figure 4F shows anti-MUC1* antibody MNE6 staining of ZR-75-1, also known as 1500, MUC1*-positive breast cancer cells. As shown by FACS scans, both MNC2 and MNE6 stain only MUC1* positive cells and not MUC1 or MUC1* negative cells. [Figure 5] ELISA graphs are shown in which surfaces are coated with either the MUC1* PSMGFR peptide or a control peptide. Humanized MNC2 scFv is then incubated with the surface, washed, and detected according to standard methods. The ELISA shows that huMNC2 scFv binds to the MUC1* peptide with an EC-50 of approximately 333 nM. [Figure 6]Figures 6A and 6B show graphs of cancer cell growth inhibition by the MUC1* antibody variable region fragment, humanized MNC2 scFv. hMNC2 scFv potently inhibited the growth of ZR-75-1 (also known as 1500) and T47D MUC1*-positive breast cancer cells (Figure 6A) and T47D MUC1*-positive breast cancer cells (Figure 6B) with an EC-50 value similar to that of in vitro ELISA. [Figure 7] Figures 7A-7B show graphs of tumor growth in immunocompromised mice implanted with human tumors and then treated with the anti-MUC1* antibody MNE6 Fab or mock therapy. Female nu / nu mice implanted with estrogen pellets for 90 days were implanted with 6 million T47D human breast cancer cells mixed 50 / 50 with Matrigel. Mice bearing tumors measuring at least 150 mm3 and exhibiting three consecutive increases in tumor volume were selected for treatment. Animals were injected subcutaneously with 80 mg / kg MNE6 Fab twice weekly, and an equal number of mice meeting the same selection criteria were injected with vehicle alone (Figure 7A). Male NOD / SCID mice were implanted with 6 million DU-145 human prostate cancer cells mixed 50 / 50 with Matrigel. Mice bearing tumors measuring at least 150 mm3 and exhibiting three consecutive increases in tumor volume were selected for treatment. Animals were injected subcutaneously with 160 mg / kg of MNE6 Fab every 48 hours, and an equal number of mice meeting the same selection criteria were injected with vehicle alone (Figure 7B). Tumors were measured and recorded twice weekly independently by two researchers. Statistics were calculated blindly by an independent statistician, with a P value of 0.0001 for each. Anti-MUC1* Fab inhibited breast and prostate cancer growth. Treatment did not affect body weight, bone marrow cell type, or number. [Figure 8] Graphs are shown from ELISAs in which the surface was immobilized with either the PSMGFR peptide, PSMGFR minus 10 amino acids from the N-terminus, or minus 10 amino acids from the C-terminus. huMNE6scFv-Fc bound to the PSMGFR peptide and the PSMGFR N-10 peptide, but not to the PSMGFR C-10 peptide. The parental MNE6 antibody and humanized MNE6 require the C-terminal 10 amino acids of PSMGFR for binding. [Figure 9] Figures 9A-9B show graphs of an ELISA in which the assay plate surface was immobilized with either the PSMGFR peptide, PSMGFR minus 10 amino acids from the N-terminus, or C-terminus minus 10 amino acids. The MNC3 antibody variants were then assayed for binding to various MUC1* peptides. Figure 9A shows purified mouse monoclonal MNC3 antibody, and Figure 9B shows humanized MNC3 scFv-Fc. The ELISA demonstrates binding to the PSMGFR peptide as well as specific deletion peptides. [Figure 10] Figures 10A-10J. Figures 10A and 10B are photographs of breast cancer tissue arrays. Figure 10A was stained with VU4H5, which recognizes MUC1-FL (full-length). Figure 10B was stained with MNC2, a mouse monoclonal antibody that recognizes cancerous MUC1*.

[Figure 34] Figures 34A-34I show photographs of normal tissues stained with the anti-MUC1* antibody huMNC2scFv. [Figure 35] Figures 35A-35D show FACS scans of cells expressing neither MUC1, MUC1*, nor full-length MUC1, in which the cells were probed with either MNC2 or VU4H5. Figure 35A shows MUC1-negative HCT-116 colon cancer cells probed with antibody MNC2. Figure 35B shows HCT cells transfected with MUC1*, in which the extracellular domain contains only the sequence of the PSMGFR peptide, in which the cells were probed with antibody MNC2. Figure 35C shows HCT-MUC1-18 cells, a cleavage-resistant single-cell clone of HCT cells transfected with full-length MUC1, also referred to here as HCT-MUC1-41TR, in which the cells were probed with antibody MNC2. Figure 35D shows HCT-MUC1-18 cells probed with antibody VU4H5, an antibody that recognizes the several hundred tandem repeat epitope in full-length MUC1. As can be seen, MNC2 recognizes an ectopic epitope that is inaccessible to full-length MUC1. [Figure 36]Figures 36A-36D show Western blots and corresponding FAC analysis of HCT-116 cells, a MUC1-negative colon cancer cell line stably transfected with either MUC1* or full-length MUC1. The single-cell clones shown are HCT-MUC1-41TR and HCT-MUC1*. Figure 36A shows Western blots of the parental cell lines HCT-116, HCT-MUC1-41TR, and HCT-MUC1*. The gel was probed with the rabbit polyclonal antibody SDIX, which recognizes only the cleaved form of MUC1. A visible band at 25-35 kDa is readily visible in lane 6, loaded with HCT-MUC1*, whereas only faint bands are present in lanes 4 and 5, indicating that only a small amount of MUC1 is cleaved in HCT-MUC1-41Tr cells. No cleaved MUC1 is present in the parental cell line HCT-116 loaded in lanes 2 and 3. Figure 36B is a Western blot probed with mouse monoclonal antibody VU4H5, which recognizes the tandem repeats of full-length MUC1. As can be seen, only HCT-MUC1-41TR contains full-length MUC1. Figure 36C shows a FACS scan demonstrating that HCT-MUC1* is 95.7% positive for SDIX, which binds only to MUC1* and essentially no binding to full-length MUC1. Figure 36D shows a FACS scan demonstrating that HCT-MUC1-41TR cells are 95% positive for full-length MUC1 and only about 11% positive for truncated MUC1*. [Figure 37]Figures 37A-37C show Western blots and bar graphs of FACS analysis assessing the ability of MNC2 to recognize full-length MUC1 after cleavage by MMP9. Figure 37A shows a Western blot of HCT-MUC1-18 cells, a cleavage-resistant cell line, to which the cleavage enzyme MMP9 was added. Cell lysate fractions were run on a gel and probed with a polyclonal anti-PSMGFR antibody. The photograph shows that MMP9 cleaved MUC1 into a ∼25 kDa species, MUC1*, in a dose-dependent manner. Figure 37B shows a Western blot of conditioned medium from the same experiment. The photograph shows that addition of the cleavage enzyme MMP9 increased the release of the tandem repeat domain into the conditioned medium in a dose-dependent manner. Figure 37C shows a FACS analysis of the experiment. The graph shows that addition of MMP9 increased recognition of the cleavage products and decreased recognition of full-length MUC1, including the tandem repeat domain, by the anti-MUC1* antibody MNC2 in a dose-dependent manner. [Figure 38] Shown here are photographs of Western blots of HCT-MUC1-18 cells, a cleavage-resistant single-cell clone of HCT cells transfected with full-length MUC1, labeled HCT-18, treated with varying amounts of catalytically active ADAM17 or MMP14. Selected MUC1 tandem repeat domains from full-length MUC1 were immunoprecipitated from conditioned medium, run on a gel, and then probed with VU4H5, which binds to the tandem repeat epitope. As can be seen, MMP14 also efficiently cleaves MUC1 along its entire length, shedding the tandem repeat-containing extracellular domain into the conditioned medium. The cleavage enzyme ADAM17 did not cleave MUC1. [Figure 39]Figures 39A-39B show fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) measurements of human CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells from human bone marrow stained with the anti-MUC1* monoclonal antibodies MNC3, MNC2, MNE6, or an isotype control antibody. Histograms and bar graphs showing the data from the FACS assay demonstrate that MUC1*-positive cells in bone marrow are recognized by one anti-MUC1* antibody, MNC3, but not by MNE6 or MNC2. All three antibodies bind to the PSMGFR peptide. The significant difference in specificity of these antibodies suggests that MNC3 recognizes a MUC1*-like form produced when MUC1 is cleaved by an enzyme distinct from MMP9. [Figure 40] Figures 40A-40G show details of FACS analysis of hematopoietic stem cells probed with either MNC3 or MNE6. Figure 40A shows a FACS scatter plot of whole bone marrow cells. Figure 40B shows a FACS scatter plot of CD34+ cells. Figure 40C shows a FACS histogram of CD34+ cells. Figure 40D shows a FACS scatter plot of CD34+ / CD38- earliest hematopoietic stem cells stained with either MNC3 or MNE6. Figure 40E shows a histogram of the experiment. Figure 40F shows a histogram overlay of MNC3 binding with CD34+ / CD38- cells versus MNE6. Figure 40G shows a bar graph of the FACS experiment. [Figure 41] Figures 41A-42H show detailed FACS analyses of CD34+ / CD38- / lo hematopoietic stem cells probed with polyclonal anti-PSMGFR antibodies SDIX, MNE6, or MNC2. Figure 41A shows a FACS scatter plot of the CD34+ / CD38- / lo population of cells. Figure 41E shows a detailed analysis table. Figure 41B shows a FACS scatter plot of the CD34+ / CD38- / lo population of cells probed with anti-PSMGFR polyclonal antibody SDIX. Figure 41F shows a detailed analysis table. Figure 41C shows a FACS scatter plot of the CD34+ / CD38- / lo population of cells probed with MNE6. Figure 41G shows a detailed analysis table. Figure 41D shows a FACS scatter plot of the CD34+ / CD38- / lo population of cells probed with MNC2. Figure 41H shows a detailed analysis table. [Figure 42] Figures 42A-42H show photographs of DU145 prostate cancer cells or T47D breast cancer cells treated with either the Fab of the anti-MUC1* antibodies MNC2, MNE6, MNC3, or MNC8. The images show that the cancer-specific antibodies MNC2 and MNE6 effectively kill prostate and breast cancer cells, while the monoclonal antibodies MNC3 and MNC8 do not. [Figure 43] Figure 43 shows a graph of a PCR experiment comparing the expression of a wide range of cleavage enzymes expressed in different cell lines, with values normalized to those expressed in the breast cancer cell line T47D. The cell lines compared are the prostate cancer cell line DU145, a MUC1-negative colon cancer cell line transfected with MUC1, which cleaves the extracellular domain after 41 tandem repeat units; HCT-MUC1-41TR, a T47D breast cancer cell line that is not cleaved by MUC1*; and CD34+ bone marrow cells. Figure 44 shows a graph of a PCR experiment measuring the expression levels of various cleavage enzymes in DU145 prostate cancer cells, HCT116+MUC1FL (also known as the HCT-MUC1-18 cell line) that expresses full-length MUC1, T47D breast cancer cells, and CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells from bone marrow. Fold expression is calculated based on the expression of each cleavage enzyme in T47D breast cancer cells. [Figure 44] Figure 43 shows a graph of the PCR experiment, with the maximum value of the Y axis set to 5. [Figure 45]Figures 45A-45P show photographs of CAR T co-culture assays in which the targeting antibody fragment of the CAR is huMNC2scFv, CAR44 has a CD8 transmembrane domain followed by 41BB-3 zeta, and CAR50 has a CD4 transmembrane domain followed by 41BB-3 zeta. The target cancer cells are HCT-FLR, HCT-116 cells transfected with MUC1*45 and HCT-MUC1-41TR, a stable single-cell clone HCT-116 cell line that expresses MUC1 with an extracellular domain cleaved after 41 tandem repeats and is not cleaved to the MUC1* form by itself. HCT-MUC1-41TR cancer cells were incubated with conditioned medium from cells transfected with MMP9 or ADAM17, and then co-cultured with CAR T cells. Conditioned medium from MMP9- or ADAM17-expressing cells was also incubated with APMA, an activator of the cleavage enzymes. The images shown are 4x bright-field images and their overlays of fluorescent images showing cancer cells stained with a red CMTMR lipophilic dye. Figures 45A, 45E, 45I, and 45M show photographs of cells co-cultured with untransduced human T cells. Figures 45B, 45F, 45J, and 45N show photographs of cells co-cultured with human T cells transduced with anti-MUC1* CAR44 at an MOI of 10. Figures 45C, 45G, 45K, and 45O show photographs of cells co-cultured with human T cells transduced with anti-MUC1* CAR50 at an MOI of 10. Figures 45D, 45H, 45L, and 45P show photographs of cells co-cultured with human T cells transduced with anti-MUC1* CAR44 at an MOI of 50, which increases the efficiency of transduction. Figures 45B, 45C, and 45D show that both CAR44- and CAR50-transduced T cells recognized MUC1* expressed in these cancer cells, bound to these cancer cells, induced cluster formation, and killed many cancer cells. Figures 45F, 45G, and 45H show that neither CAR44-transduced nor CAR50-transduced T cells recognized full-length MUC1 expressed in HCT-MUC1-41TR cancer cells. There was no T cell-induced cluster formation, and the number of cancer cells was not reduced.Figures 45J, 45K, and 45L show that activated MMP9 cleaved full-length MUC1 into the MUC1* form, which is recognized by both CAR44- and CAR50-transduced T cells. There was clearly visible CAR T cell-induced cluster formation and a decrease in the number of cancer cells as they died. Figures 45N, 45O, and 45P show that activated ADAM17 either did not cleave MUC1 or cleaved it at a position not recognized by MNC2. Neither huMNC2-CAR44-transduced nor huMNC2-CAR50-transduced T cells recognized these cancer cells. [Figure 46] Figures 46A-46T show photographs of CAR T co-culture assays in which the targeting antibody fragment of the CAR is MNC2scFv, CAR44 has a CD8 transmembrane domain followed by 41BB-3 zeta, and CAR50 has a CD4 transmembrane domain followed by 41BB-3 zeta. The target cancer cells are breast cancer T47D cells that were similarly incubated with conditioned medium from cells transfected with MMP2, MMP9, or ADAM17 before co-culture with MNC2-CAR T cells. In some cases, conditioned medium from MMP2- and MMP9-expressing cells was incubated with APMA, an activator of these cleavage enzymes. The images shown are 4x bright-field images and overlays of their fluorescent images showing cancer cells stained with the red CMTMR lipophilic dye. As can be seen, MNC2-CAR T cells bind to and attack only target cancer cells expressing truncated MUC1*. [Figure 47]Figures 47A-47I show photographs of cancer cells co-cultured with anti-MUC1* CAR T cells, some of which were pre-incubated with activated MMP9 before co-culture with CAR T cells. The cancer cells shown in Figures 47A-47C are the MUC1-negative colon cancer cell line HCT-116 stably transfected to express MUC1*. The cancer cells shown in Figures 47D-47F are the MUC1-positive breast cancer cell line T47D, which expresses high levels of both full-length MUC1 and MUC1*. The cancer cells shown in Figures 47G-47I are the MUC1-positive breast cancer cell line T47D pre-incubated with activated MMP9. The cells shown in Figures 47A, 47D, and 47G were co-cultured with untransduced human T cells and serve as a control. The cells shown in Figures 47B, 47E, and 47H were cocultured with human T cells transduced with huMNC2-CAR44 at an MOI of 10, where MOI represents the multiplicity of infection; the higher the MOI, the more CAR expressed by the T cells. The cells shown in Figures 47C, 47F, and 47I were cocultured with human T cells transduced with huMNC2-CAR44 at an MOI of 50. As can be seen from the photographs, CAR44 T cells bind to, surround, and kill target MUC1*-positive cancer cells. Comparing the photograph in Figure 47I with the others, it can be seen that cells preincubated with MMP9 are much more susceptible to CAR T killing once the antibody-targeting head of the CAR recognizes MUC1*. This also demonstrates that MUC1 cleaved by MMP9 is recognized by huMNC2scFv. [Figure 48]This graph shows xCelligence of T47D breast cancer cells co-cultured with either control, untransduced T cells, or huMNC2-CAR44 T cells over a 45-hour period. After 18 hours of cancer cell growth, the catalytic subunit MMP9 was added to some cells. At 25 hours, T cells were added. As can be seen, preincubating T47D cells with the cleaving enzyme MMP9 significantly improved the killing of huMNC2-CAR44 T cells. In the xCelligence system, adherent target cancer cells are plated on an electrode array plate. Adherent cells insulate the electrodes, increasing impedance. The number of adherent cancer cells is directly proportional to impedance. T cells are not adherent and do not contribute to impedance. Therefore, an increase in impedance reflects cancer cell growth, and a decrease in impedance reflects cancer cell death. [Figure 49] This graph shows xCelligence of DU145 prostate cancer cells co-cultured with either control, untransduced T cells, or huMNC2-CAR44 T cells over a 45-hour period. After 18 hours of cancer cell growth, the catalytic subunit MMP9 was added to some cells. At 25 hours, T cells were added. As can be seen, the killing of huMNC2-CAR44 T cells is not affected by preincubation with the cleavage enzyme MMP9. DU145 cancer cells express significantly lower amounts of MUC1, including the full-length form as well as MUC1*. The lower density of full-length MUC1 does not sterically hinder T cell access to the membrane proximal to MUC1*. [Figure 50] 1 shows a bar graph of a PCR experiment measuring the amount of MUC1 expressed by a panel of cell lines and primary cells consisting of normal and cancer cells. [Figure 51]Figures 51A-51B show bar graphs of ELISA assays measuring the amount of interferon gamma IFN-g secreted by huMNC2-CAR44 human T cells after 72 hours of co-culture with normal or HCT-MUC1* cancer cells. Figure 51A shows the results of an experiment in which the ratio of CAR44 T cells to target cells was 1:1. Figure 51B shows the results of an experiment in which the ratio of CAR44 T cells to target cells was 0.5:1. [Figure 52] Figures 52A-52B show bar graphs of ELISA assays measuring the amount of interleukin-2, IL-2, secreted by huMNC2-CAR44 human T cells after 72 hours of co-culture with normal or HCT-MUC1* cancer cells. Figure 52A shows the results of an experiment in which the ratio of CAR44 T cells to target cells was 1:1. Figure 52B shows the results of an experiment in which the ratio of CAR44 T cells to target cells was 0.5:1.

[Figure 54] A photograph of a breast cancer tissue array is shown where, for each patient, there is a specimen from the primary tumor and a specimen from that patient's metastases. As can be seen, in most cases, the metastases express more MUC1* than the primary tumor.

[Figure 57] Figures 57A-57C show xCELLigence scans tracking real-time killing of MUC1*-positive cancer cells, but not MUC1*-negative cells, by huMNC2-CAR44 T cells. Figure 57A shows that huMNC2-CAR44 T cells effectively kill HCT colon cancer cells stably transfected with MUC1*. Figure 57B shows that huMNC2-CAR44 T cells have little effect on HCT-MUC1-41TR, MUC1-negative cancer cells stably transfected with full-length MUC1. In this cell line, only approximately 10% of the cells have MUC1 cleaved to MUC1*. Figure 57C shows that huMNC2-CAR44 T cells have no effect on HCT-116 cells, a MUC1-negative colon cancer cell line. [Figure 58]Figures 58A-58F show photographs of NOD / SCID / GAMMA mice in an IVIS instrument measuring photon emission from tumor cells after treatment with either PBS, untransduced human T cells, or huMNC2-CAR44 T cells. Mice were subcutaneously injected with luciferase-positive HCT-MUC1* tumor cells. Ten minutes before IVIS photographs were taken, mice were injected intraperitoneally (ip) with luciferase substrate, luciferin. Figure 58A shows a tumor-bearing mouse treated with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) alone. Figure 58B shows a tumor-bearing mouse treated with untransduced T cells alone. Figure 58C shows a tumor-bearing mouse treated with a single dose of huMNC2-CAR44 T cells. Figure 58D shows the color scale of the images. Figure 58E shows the Kaplan-Meier survival curve for the experiment. Figure 58F shows a table detailing the molecular makeup of human T cells isolated from the blood of mice after sacrifice. [Figure 59] Figures 59A-59C show photographs of NOD / SCID / GAMMA mice in an IVIS instrument measuring photon emission from tumor cells after treatment with either PBS or huMNC2-CAR44 T cells. Mice were subcutaneously injected with T47D-wt breast cancer cells or T47D+MUC1*. This was a mixed population of cells, with 95% of the cells being T47D cells stably transfected with MUC1*. Both T47D-wt and T47D+MUC1* cells were luciferase-positive. Ten minutes before IVIS photographs were taken, the mice were injected intraperitoneally (ip) with luciferase substrate, i.e., luciferin. Figure 59A shows a tumor-bearing mouse treated with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) alone. Figure 59B shows T47D-wt tumor-bearing mice treated with two doses of huMNC2-CAR44 T cells. Figure T90.1C shows T47D-MUC1* tumor-bearing mice treated with two doses of huMNC2-CAR44 T cells. [Figure 60]Figures 60A-60C show photographs of NOD / SCID / GAMMA mice in an IVIS instrument measuring photon emission from tumor cells after treatment with either PBS, untransduced T cells, or huMNC2-CAR44 T cells. Mice were subcutaneously injected with a mixed population of 70% T47D-wt breast cancer cells and 30% T47D cells transfected with a distinct MUC1*. Both cell types were luciferase-positive. Ten minutes before IVIS photographs were taken, mice were injected intraperitoneally (ip) with luciferase substrate, luciferin. Figure 60A shows a tumor-bearing mouse treated with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) alone. Figure 60B shows a tumor-bearing mouse treated with untransduced T cells alone. Figure 60C shows a tumor-bearing mouse treated with two doses of huMNC2-CAR44 T cells. [Figure 61]Figures 61A-61J show fluorescent images of mice taken with an IVIS instrument. NSG (NOD / SCID / GAMMA) immunodeficient mice were injected subcutaneously in the flank with 500K human BT-20 cells, a MUC1*-positive triple-negative breast cancer cell line, on day 0. The cancer cells were stably transfected with luciferase. Tumors were allowed to engraft. Six days after IVIS measurements, the animals received a single injection of 10 million human T cells transduced with huMNC2-scFv-CAR44 or untransduced T cells. Five million T cells were injected intratumorally and five million were injected via the tail vein. Ten minutes before IVIS imaging, the mice were IP injected with luciferin, which fluoresces after cleavage by luciferase, thus causing tumor cell fluorescence. Figures 61A, 61D, and 61G show photographs of mice treated with huMNC2-scFv-CAR44 T cells that were pre-stimulated by co-culturing with 4 μm beads conjugated with synthetic MUC1* and PSMGFR peptides for 24 hours prior to administration: Protocol 1. Figures 61B, 61E, and 61H show photographs of mice treated with huMNC2-scFv-CAR44 T cells that were pre-stimulated by co-culturing with MUC1*-positive cancer cells for 24 hours prior to administration: Protocol 2. Figures 61C, 61F, and 61I show photographs of mice treated with untransduced human T cells. Figure 61J is a color scale relating fluorescence in photons / second to color. [Figure 62]Figures 62A-62M show fluorescent images of mice taken with an IVIS device. On day 0, NSG (NOD / SCID / GAMMA) immunodeficient mice were intraperitoneally (IP) injected with 500K human SKOV-3 cells, a MUC1*-positive ovarian cancer cell line. The cancer cells were stably transfected with luciferase. Tumors were allowed to engraft. On day 4, the animals were injected into the intraperitoneal space with either 10 M human T cells transduced with huMNC2-scFv-CAR44, 10 M untransduced T cells, or PBS. On day 11, the animals were injected again, except that half the cells were injected via the tail vein and the other half via IP injection. Animals were imaged by IVIS on days 3, 7, 10, and 15. Ten minutes before IVIS photography, mice were IP injected with luciferin, which fluoresces after cleavage by luciferase, thus causing tumor cell fluorescence. Figures 62A, 62D, 62G, and 62J show photographs of mice treated with huMNC2-scFv-CAR44 T cells pre-stimulated by co-culture with 1 μm beads conjugated with synthetic MUC1* and PSMGFR peptides for 24 hours prior to administration. Figures 62B, 62E, 62H, and 62K show photographs of mice treated with untransduced human T cells. Figures 62C, 62F, 62I, and 62L show photographs of mice treated with PBS. Figures 62A, 62B, and 62C are IVIS images taken 3 days before administration of CAR T, T cells, or PBS. Figures 62D, 62E, and 62F show IVIS images of animals on day 7, just 4 days after treatment. Figures 62G, 62H, and 621 show IVIS images of animals at day 10. Figures 62J, 62K, and 62L show IVIS images of animals at day 15. Figure 62M is an IVIS color scale relating fluorescence in photons / second to color. [Figure 63]A graph of an ELISA binding assay is shown in which various monoclonal antibodies were tested for their ability to bind to the PSMGFR peptide, N-10, C-10, N+20 / C-27, or N+9 / C-9 peptide, with antibody concentrations of 10 μg / mL or 1 μg / mL. Note that the anti-MUC1* monoclonal antibodies C2 and E6, which have been demonstrated to be cancer specific, bind to the PSMGFR peptide and still bind when the 10 N-terminal amino acids are deleted, but not when the 10 or 9 C-terminal amino acids are deleted. [Figure 64] Figures 64A-64B show graphs of ELISA binding assays. The antibodies tested were derived from animals immunized with PSMGFR peptides. The first selection criterion was to confirm that the antibodies bound to the immunizing PSMGFR peptide. Figure 64A shows graphs of ELISAs of selected antibodies that were further tested to determine their ability to bind to the PSMGFR peptides, N-10, C-10, N+20 / C-27, or N+9 / C-9 peptides. All antibodies except 18B4 were able to bind to the N-10 peptide. 18B4 recognized the N+20 / C-27 but not the N-10 peptide, suggesting that its cognate epitope is within the GTINVHDVET sequence. All except 20A10 and C2 showed some binding to the C-10 and N+9 / C-9 peptides, indicating that both 20A10 and C2 require 10 membrane-proximal amino acids for binding. C2, which requires 10 membrane-proximal amino acids for binding, has been demonstrated to be cancer-specific. Figure 64B shows the sequences of the various peptides. The color of each antibody bar in the ELISA graph is color-coded to match the predicted cognate sequence or portion of that antibody. [Figure 65]Figures 65A-65B show graphs of ELISA binding assays in which various monoclonal antibodies were tested for their ability to bind to the PSMGFR peptide, N-10, C-10, N+20 / C-27, or N+9 / C-9 peptide. The antibodies tested were derived from animals immunized with the N+20 / C-27 peptide. The initial selection criterion was to confirm that the antibodies bound to the immunizing N+20 / C-27 peptide. Figure 65A shows graphs of ELISA binding assays testing each antibody's ability to bind to various peptides. Although these antibodies were raised against the N+20 / C-27 peptide, all except 45C11 still bind to the PSMGFR peptide. Although 45C11's binding is weak, preliminary inference indicates that the cognate epitope must be within the SNIKFRPGSVV sequence. 1E4 was able to bind to the N+20 / C-27 peptide, PSMGFR, and N-10 peptide, consistent with the idea that its epitope must lie within the QFNQYKTE sequence. Figure 65B shows the sequences of the various peptides. The color of each antibody bar in the ELISA graph is color-coded to correspond to the predicted cognate sequence or portion thereof for that antibody. [Figure 66] Figures 66A-66B show graphs of ELISA binding assays in which various monoclonal antibodies were tested for their ability to bind to the PSMGFR peptide, N-10, C-10, N+20 / C-27, or N+9 / C-9 peptide. The antibodies tested were derived from animals immunized with the N+9 / C-9 peptide. The first selection criterion was to confirm that the antibodies bound to the immunizing N+9 / C-9 peptide. Figure 66A shows a graph of the ELISA assay. All except 39H5 were able to bind to the immunizing peptide, N+9 / C-9. 39H5 showed very weak binding to the PSMGFR and N-10 peptides, consistent with the notion that at least part of its cognate epitope must lie within the QFNQYKTE sequence. Figure 66B shows the sequences of the various peptides. The color of each antibody bar in the ELISA graph is color-coded to correspond to the antibody's predicted cognate sequence or portion thereof. [Figure 67]Figures 67A-67D show the results of ELISA assays further defining antibody epitopes within the MUC1 or MUC1* extracellular domain. All antibodies shown in this figure were generated by immunizing animals with PSMGFR peptides. In binding assays, antibodies were tested for their ability to bind to peptides N-19, N-26, N-30, N-10 / C-5, N-19 / C-5, PSMGFR, N-10, and C-10. These are all subsets of PSMGFR peptides, and the numbers again refer to PSMGFR peptides. Figure 67A shows the binding of various antibodies to various peptides. Figure 67B shows the sequence of a PSMGFR peptide extended by 20 amino acids at the N-terminus. Figure 67C shows the sequence of a subset of peptides derived from PSMGFR. Figure 67D shows sequences containing all or part of the epitope essential for antibody recognition. [Figure 68] Figures 68A-68D show the results of ELISA assays further defining antibody epitopes within the MUC1 or MUC1* extracellular domain. All antibodies shown in this figure were generated by immunizing animals with the N+20 / C-27 peptide. In binding assays, antibodies were tested for their ability to bind to peptides N-19, N-26, N-30, N-10 / C-5, N-19 / C-5, PSMGFR, N-10, and C-10. These are all subsets of PSMGFR peptides, and the numbers again refer to PSMGFR peptides. Figure 68A shows the binding of various antibodies to various peptides. Figure 68B shows the sequence of a PSMGFR peptide extended by 20 amino acids at the N-terminus. Figure 68C shows the sequence of a subset of peptides derived from PSMGFR. Figure 68D shows sequences containing all or part of the epitope essential for antibody recognition. [Figure 69]Figures 69A-69D show the results of ELISA assays further defining antibody epitopes within the MUC1 or MUC1* extracellular domain. All antibodies shown in this figure were generated by immunizing animals with the N+9 / C-9 peptide. In binding assays, antibodies were tested for their ability to bind to peptides N-19, N-26, N-30, N-10 / C-5, N-19 / C-5, PSMGFR, N-10, and C-10. These are all subsets of PSMGFR peptides, and the numbers again refer to PSMGFR peptides. Figure 69A shows the binding of various antibodies to various peptides. Figure 69B shows the sequence of a PSMGFR peptide extended by 20 amino acids at the N-terminus. Figure 69C shows the sequence of a subset of peptides derived from PSMGFR. Figure 69D shows sequences containing all or part of the epitope essential for antibody recognition. [Figure 70] Figures 70A-70B show graphs of an ELISA displacement assay. In this experiment, a multiwell plate was coated with PSMGFR peptide. In Figure 70A, recombinant NME7AB was bound to the surface-immobilized PSMGFR peptide. Various antibodies were added, followed by a washing step. The amount of NME7AB remaining attached to the PSMGFR-coated plate after antibody competition was measured by detecting the NME7AB tag. As a control, anti-NME7AB antibodies were also tested for their ability to displace NME7AB from PSMGFR. As can be seen from the graphs, antibodies MNC2, MNE6, 20A10, 3C2B1, and 5C6F3 displace NME7AB from its binding to the PSMGFR peptide, indicating that the antibodies are cancer-specific. Figure 70B shows that the epitope within the MUC1* extracellular domain to which these antibodies bind is the sequence SVSDVPFPFSAQSGA; if amino acids FPFS are absent or mutated, binding is abolished for MNC2, MNE6, 20A10, 3C2B1, and if amino acids SVSDV are absent or mutated, binding is abolished for 5C6F3. [Figure 71-1]Figures 71A-71H show photographs of Western blots in which antibodies were tested for their ability to bind to linear epitopes of full-length MUC1 or MUC1*. Figures 71A-71D show testing of antibodies for their ability to bind to the MUC1-negative cell line, HCT-116, or the engineered cell line HCT-MUC1-18, a cleavage-resistant clone expressing full-length MUC1, or HCT-MUC1* engineered to express only the PSMGFR sequence in its extracellular domain. Figures 71E-71H show testing of antibodies for their ability to bind to the breast cancer cell lines T47D or 1500, also known as ZR-75-1. Figures 71A and 71E show MNC2, a monoclonal antibody raised against the PSMGFR peptide, which binds to the N-10 variant but not the C-10 variant of the PSMGFR peptide. Figures 71B and 71F show MNE6, a monoclonal antibody raised against the PSMGFR peptide that binds to the N-10 mutant but not the C-10 mutant of the PSMGFR peptide. Figures 71C and 71G show SDIX, a polyclonal antibody raised against and binding to the PSMGFR peptide. Figures 71D and 71H show VU4H5, a commercially available monoclonal antibody that binds to the tandem repeats of full-length MUC1. As can be seen, neither MNC2 nor MNE6 bind to the linear epitope of the MUC1 species.

Figures 72H and 72P show 5C6F3, where the blots were exposed for a longer time to make the MUC1*-specific band more visible. As can be seen, antibodies 25E6, 18B4, and to some extent 5C6F3 recognize linear epitopes, whereas 20A10, 3C2B1, 18G12, and 28F9 do not.

HCT-MUC1-18 cells expressing full-length MUC1 were incubated with catalytically active MMP9 or MMP2 for 24 hours, incubated with antibodies of the invention, and then analyzed by FACS to determine whether the antibodies bound to the MMP9- or MMP2-cleaved forms of MUC1. Note that the first bar in each graph indicates that none of the antibodies bind to full-length MUC1 in the absence of cleavage. Each bar is labeled with both the name of the antibody used in that assay and its cognate epitope.

MNC2 binds to an ectopic binding site in the extracellular domain of MUC1* within the membrane-proximal portion of the PSMGFR sequence. The MNC2 binding site is only accessible after cleavage and release of most of the extracellular domain, including the tandem repeat domain. VU4H5 binds to several hundred repeating epitopes in the tandem repeat domain. Figures 76A-76E show the percent binding, and Figures 76F-76J show the mean fluorescence intensity, or MFI.

These target cancer cells were co-cultured with huMNC2-CAR44 T cells harboring NFAT-inducible IL-18, in which the IL-18 gene was inserted into the Foxp3 enhancer / promoter. Figures 214A-214F show either T47D cells or HEK293 cells that were not doped with T47D cells engineered to express high MUC1* density. Figures 214G-214L show either T47D cells or HEK293 cells that were doped with 5% T47D cells engineered to express high MUC1* density. Figures 214M-214R show either T47D or HEK293 cells doped with 10% T47D cells engineered to express high MUC1* density. Figures 214S-214X show either T47D or HEK293 cells doped with 30% T47D cells engineered to express high MUC1* density. Figures 214A-B, G-H, M-N, and S-T show T47D breast cancer cells. Figures 214C-F, I-L, O-R, and U-X show HEK293 cells. As can be seen, induced secretion of IL-18 killed low MUC1* density T47D cells but did not induce nonspecific killing of MUC1*-negative HEK293 cells.

[Figure 218]This graph shows the volume of tumors measured by an IVIS instrument in which tumor cells were genetically modified to express luciferase. The substrate luciferin was injected 10 minutes before measuring luminescence in sedated animals. On day 1 of the experiment, animals were subcutaneously injected with 250,000 human breast tumor cells. The tumors were heterogeneous; they consisted of two different tumor cell types. The first tumor cell population was T47D-wt, a breast cancer cell line that expresses both full-length MUC1 and the growth factor receptor form MUC1*, which we engineered to express mCherry fluorescence. The second tumor cell population was the same T47D breast cancer cells, except that they were stably transduced to express significantly more MUC1* and GFP fluorescence, referred to as T47D-MUC1*. In this experiment, animals were implanted with T47D-wt + T47D-MUC1*, with the T47D-MUC1* population comprising 30%, 15%, or 7.5% of the tumor population. Animals then received a single injection of either PBS, huMNC2-41BB-3z CAR T cells (4-1BB), huMNC2-CD28-3z CAR T cells (CD28), or huMNC2-CD28-1XX CAR T cells (CD28-1XX or 1XX). CAR T cells were injected into the tail vein at an effector-to-target (E:T) ratio of 10:1, 5:1, or 1:1. [Figure 219] Figures 219A-219B show IVIS photographs and graphs of IVIS tumor volume measurements. Figure 219A shows a photograph of a mouse implanted with a tumor in which 30% of the cancer cell population was T47D-MUC1*, referred to here as high antigen expressing cells. Various CAR T cells were administered at a 10:1 CAR T-to-tumor cell ratio, implanting 250,000 tumor cells, and the animals were injected with 2.5 million CAR T cells 5 days later. Figure 219B shows a daily graph of tumor volume measured by IVIS. As can be seen, animals injected with huMNC2-CD28-1XX had much smaller tumors than animals treated with huMNC2-4-1BB-3z or huMNC2-CD28-3z, which are the same CAR Ts except for the lack of the 1XX mutation in the CD3-zeta domain. [Figure 220] Figures 220A-220T show IVIS graphs of 30% of tumors treated with a CAR T to tumor ratio of 10:1, where graphs are shown for individual animals rather than averages for treatment groups. [Figure 221] Figures 221A-221B show IVIS photographs and graphs of IVIS tumor volume measurements. Figure 221A shows a photograph of a mouse implanted with a tumor in which 30% of the cancer cell population was T47D-MUC1*, referred to here as high antigen expressing cells. Various CAR T cells were administered at a 1:1 CAR T-to-tumor cell ratio, implanting 250,000 tumor cells, and the animals were injected 5 days later with 250,000 CAR T cells. Figure 221B shows a daily graph of tumor volume measured by IVIS. As can be seen, animals injected with huMNC2-CD28-1XX had much smaller tumors than animals treated with huMNC2-4-1BB-3z or huMNC2-CD28-3z, which are the same CAR Ts except for the lack of the 1XX mutation in the CD3-zeta domain. However, at lower doses of CAR T cells, even tumors in the huMNC2-CD28-1XX treatment group begin to grow again. [Figure 222] Figures 222A-222T show IVIS graphs of 30% of tumors treated with a 1:1 CAR T to tumor ratio, where graphs are shown for individual animals rather than averages for treatment groups. [Figure 223]Figures 223A-223B show IVIS photographs and graphs of IVIS tumor volume measurements. Figure 223A shows a photograph of a mouse implanted with a tumor in which 7.5% of the cancer cell population was T47D-MUC1*, referred to here as high antigen expressing cells. Various CAR T cells were administered at a 10:1 CAR T-to-tumor cell ratio, implanting 250,000 tumor cells, and the animals were injected with 2.5 million CAR T cells 5 days later. Figure 223B shows a daily graph of tumor volume measured by IVIS. As can be seen, animals injected with huMNC2-CD28-1XX had much smaller tumors than animals treated with huMNC2-4-1BB-3z or huMNC2-CD28-3z, which are the same CAR Ts except for the lack of the 1XX mutation in the CD3-zeta domain. However, even tumors in the huMNC2-CD28-1XX treatment group began to grow again, consistent with the idea that a small percentage of highly antigen-expressing tumor cells prevents the rest of the tumor from being killed. [Figure 224] Figures 224A-224T show IVIS graphs of 7.5% tumors treated with a CAR T to tumor ratio of 10:1. Here, graphs are shown for individual animals rather than averages for treatment groups. [Figure 225] Figures 225A-225B show IVIS photographs and graphs of IVIS tumor volume measurements. Figure 225A shows a photograph of a mouse implanted with a tumor in which 7.5% of the cancer cell population was T47D-MUC1*, referred to here as high antigen expressing cells. Various CAR T cells were administered at a 1:1 CAR T-to-tumor cell ratio, implanting 250,000 tumor cells, and the animals were injected with 250,000 CAR T cells 5 days later. Figure 225B shows a daily graph of tumor volume measured by IVIS. As can be seen, animals injected with huMNC2-CD28-1XX had smaller tumors than animals treated with huMNC2-4-1BB-3z or huMNC2-CD28-3z, which are the same CAR Ts except for the lack of the 1XX mutation in the CD3-zeta domain. However, at low antigen density combined with very low doses of CAR T cells, even tumors in the huMNC2-CD28-1XX treatment group begin to grow again. [Figure 226] Figures 226A-226T show IVIS graphs for 7.5% of tumors treated with a 1:1 CAR T to tumor ratio, where graphs are shown for individual animals rather than averages for treatment groups. [Figure 227-1] The table shows the count of CD3-positive human T cells harvested from the spleens of test animals after sacrifice. In this table, cells isolated from tumor-implanted mice consisted of 30% T47D-MUC1* and were treated with CAR T cells at a 10:1 ratio. As can be seen, huMNC2-CD28-1XX-treated mice, which had smaller tumors, had higher numbers of CAR T cells and CD8-positive killer T cells. TIM3, LAG3, and PD-1 are molecular markers of T cell exhaustion. The table shows that huMNC2-CD28-1XX CAR T cells harvested from animals express lower levels of exhaustion markers, consistent with the idea that the 1XX mutation in CD3-zeta increases CAR T cell persistence in vivo.

Animals were treated with CAR T cells at an effector-to-target ratio of 1:1. [Figure 241]Figures 241A-241D2 show magnified photographs of dissociated tumors excised from animals implanted with tumors composed of 7.5% T47D-MUC1* high antigen density cells and 92.5% T47D-wt low antigen density cells.

Figures 241A-241J show tumor cells excised from a control animal treated with PBS only. Figures 241K-241T show tumor cells excised from an animal treated with huMNC2-41BB-3z CAR T cells. Figures 241U-241D2 show tumor cells excised from an animal treated with huMNC2-CD28-1XX CAR T cells. Figures 241E2-241N2 show tumor cells excised from animals treated with huMNC2-CD28-3z CAR T cells. [Figure 242] Figures 242A-242R show photographs of live animals, IVIS measures tumor volume, mCherry detects low-antigen cells within the tumor, and GFP detects high-antigen cells within the tumor. Photographs of excised tumors after sacrifice and a graph of tumor weight are shown. A graph of GFP-positive high-antigen tumor cells is also shown. Both the live GFP photographs and the graph of FACS measurements of high-antigen cells show that huMNC2-CD28-1XX killed all high-antigen cells and most low-antigen cells, even at the lowest levels of high-antigen cells within the tumor and at very low CAR T cell doses. [Figure 243] Figures 243A-243F show photographs taken at two different time points, where the IVIS photographs measure tumor volume, the mCherry fluorescence photographs measure low antigen cells, and the GFP fluorescence photographs measure high antigen cells. In this case, animals were implanted with tumors composed of 30% high antigen density cells (GFP+) and 70% low antigen density cells (mCherry+). Animals received a single dose of CAR T cells at a ratio of 10:1 or 1:1 CAR T to tumor cells. [Figure 244]A graph of IVIS tumor volume measurements over time is shown. Arrows indicate time points when fluorescent photographs, mCherry and GFP, of live animals were taken. In this case, animals were implanted with tumors composed of 30% high antigen density cells (GFP+) and 70% low antigen density cells (mCherry+). Animals received a single dose of CAR T cells at a 10:1 or 1:1 CAR T to tumor cell ratio. [Figure 245] Graphs are shown for IVIS measurements of tumor volume, mCherry measurements of low-antigen cell proliferation rate, and GFP measurements of high-antigen cell proliferation rate at two time points. As can be seen, at high CART doses, the number of high-antigen-density cells (GFP) did not increase over time in mice treated with either huMNC2-41BB-3z or huMNC2-CD28-1XX. However, at low CART doses, some mice treated with huMNC2-41BB-3z showed increased proliferation of high-antigen-density cells, while mice treated with huMNC2-CD28-1XX did not. More importantly, at high or low doses of CAR T, mice treated with huMNC2-41BB-3z showed increased proliferation of low-antigen-density cells, while mice treated with huMNC2-CD28-1XX showed more controlled proliferation of low-antigen-density cells. [Figure 246] Figures 246A-246B show IVIS photographs and graphs of IVIS tumor volume measurements. Figure 246A shows a photograph of a mouse implanted with a tumor in which 15% of the cancer cell population was T47D-MUC1*, referred to here as high antigen expressing cells. Various CAR T cells were administered at a 10:1 CAR T-to-tumor cell ratio, implanting 250,000 tumor cells, and the animal was injected 5 days later with 2.5 million CAR T cells. Figure 246B shows a daily graph of tumor volume measured by IVIS. In this experiment, on day 52, the animal outlined in red was implanted with 250,000 additional 100% high antigen density tumor cells. The animal outlined in green received an additional dose of 2.5 million CAR T cells. [Figure 247]Figures 247A-247T show graphs of tumor growth measured by IVIS in each individual animal. Red arrows indicate the injection of more tumor cells, and green arrows indicate the injection of 2.5 million additional CAR T cells. As can be seen, the injection of additional tumor cells does not increase tumor growth in animals treated with huMNC2-CD28-1XX CAR T cells. However, the injection of additional tumor cells does increase tumor growth in animals treated with huMNC2-CD28-3z or huMNC2-41BB-3z CAR T cells. This result is consistent with CAR T cells with a 1XX mutation in CD3z extending CAR T cell persistence in vivo. It can also be seen that the injection of additional CAR T cells suppressed tumor cells in some animals in all groups. This is consistent with the idea that tumor recurrence was not due to tumor escape, as fresh CAR T cells still recognized and killed the tumor cells. [Figure 248] Figures 248A-248D show illustrations of an experimental strategy in which animals were implanted with heterogeneous tumors composed of two cell types with two different fluorescent labels. Animals were implanted with both mCherry and red-fluorescent T47D breast cancer cells, as well as T47D cells that express significantly more MUC1* and are engineered to carry GFP, resulting in green fluorescence. Figure 248A shows an illustration of an animal implanted with a tumor in which 30% of the tumor cells express high levels of MUC1* and fluoresce green. Figure 248B shows an illustration of an animal implanted with a tumor in which 15% of the tumor cells express high levels of MUC1* and fluoresce green. Figure 248C shows an illustration of an animal implanted with a tumor in which 7.5% of the tumor cells express high levels of MUC1* and fluoresce green. The variables used in these experiments are shown in Figure 248D. [Figure 249]Figures 249A-249F show illustrations of the experimental strategy and data.

Figure 249E shows bar graphs of bioluminescence measured with an IVIS instrument for animals implanted with 30% high MUC1* cells and treated with various CAR T cells at an effector-to-target ratio of 10:1 (top) or 1:1 (bottom).

[0177] In this application, "a" and "an" are used to refer to both a singular object and plural objects.
[0178] As used herein, sometimes, for short, a polypeptide may be referred to as being "transduced or transfected" into a cell. In these occurrences, it is understood that a nucleic acid encoding the polypeptide sequence is transduced or transfected into a cell, as it is not possible to transduce or transfect a polypeptide into a cell.
[0179] As used herein, occasionally when referring to the number of cells infused into an animal or in other contexts referring to numbers of cells, "M" refers to millions and "K" refers to thousands.
[0180] As used herein, various monoclonal antibodies are referred to interchangeably. For example, "MNC2" is interchangeable with "C2," "Min-C2," and "MNC2," "MNE6" is interchangeable with "E6," "Min-E6," and "MNE6," "MNC3" is interchangeable with "C3," "Min-C3," and "MNC3," and "MNC8" is interchangeable with "C8," "Min-C8," and "MNC8." The monoclonal antibodies provided herein follow the same convention.
[0181] As used herein, the placement of "h" or "hu" in front of an antibody construct is shorthand for humanized.
[0182] As used herein, the term "antibody-like" refers to a molecule that contains a portion of an antibody but can be engineered to be different from a naturally occurring antibody. Examples include, but are not limited to, CAR (chimeric antigen receptor) T cell technology and Ylanthia® technology. CAR technology uses an antibody epitope fused to a portion of a T cell so that the body's immune system is directed to attack a specific target protein or cell. Ylanthia® technology consists of an "antibody-like" library, a collection of synthetic human Fabs that are then screened for binding to peptide epitopes from target proteins. Selected Fab regions can then be engineered into a scaffold or framework to resemble an antibody.
[0183] As used herein, "PSMGFR" is an abbreviation for the primary sequence of the MUC1 growth factor receptor identified by SEQ ID NO: 2 and therefore should not be confused with the six amino acid sequence. A "PSMGFR peptide" or "PSMGFR region" refers to a peptide or region incorporating the primary sequence of the MUC1 growth factor receptor (SEQ ID NO: 2).
[0184] As used herein, "MUC1 *The extracellular domain is primarily defined by the PSMGFR sequence (GTINVHDVETQFNQYKTEAASRYNLTISDVSVSDVPFPFSAQSGA (SEQ ID NO: 2)). The exact site of MUC1 cleavage depends on the enzyme that cleaves it, and cleavage enzymes vary depending on cell type, tissue type, or evolutionary time of the cell, so MUC1 * The exact sequence of the extracellular domain may vary at the N-terminus.
[0185] Other truncated amino acid sequences include SNIKFRPGSVVVQLTLAFREGTINVHDVETQFNQYKTEAASRY (SEQ ID NO: 620); SVVVQLTLAFREGTINVHDVETQFNQYKTEAASRY (SEQ ID NO: 621) can be mentioned.
[0186] As used herein, the term "PSMGFR" is an acronym for the primary sequence of the MUC1 growth factor receptor, which is set forth as GTINVHDVETQFNQYKTEAASRYNLTISDVSVSDVPFPFSAQSGA (SEQ ID NO: 2). In this regard, an "N-number," such as "N-10 PSMGFR" or simply "N-10," "N-15 PSMGFR" or simply "N-15," or "N-20 PSMGFR" or simply "N-20," refers to the number of amino acid residues deleted at the N-terminus of PSMGFR. Similarly, a "C-number," such as "C-10 PSMGFR" or simply "C-10," "C-15 PSMGFR" or simply "C-15," or "C-20 PSMGFR" or simply "C-20," refers to the number of amino acid residues deleted at the C-terminus of PSMGFR. Mixed deletions and additions are also possible. For example, N+20 / C-27 refers to a peptide fragment of wild-type MUC1 in which 20 amino acids have been added to the N-terminal PSMGFR and 27 amino acids have been deleted from the C-terminus.
[0187] As used herein, "MUC1 * The "extracellular domain of MUC1" refers to the extracellular portion of the MUC1 protein that lacks the tandem repeat domain. *MUC1 * The MUC1 fragment is a cleavage product consisting of a short extracellular domain lacking the tandem repeats, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic tail. The exact location of the cleavage in MUC1 is unknown, as it appears that it may be cleaved by more than one enzyme. * The extracellular domain of contains most of the PSMGFR sequence but may have an additional 10-20 N-terminal amino acids.
[0188] As used herein, "sequence identity" refers to the homology in the sequence of a particular polypeptide or nucleic acid to a reference sequence of nucleic acid or amino acid such that the function of the homologous peptide is the same as the reference peptide or nucleic acid. Such homology may be so close to the reference peptide that two sequences may sometimes be 90%, 95%, or 98% identical, yet have the same function in binding or other biological activity.
[0189] As used herein, a "MUC1-positive" cell refers to a cell that expresses the gene for MUC1, MUC1-Y or MUC1-Z or other MUC1 variants.
[0190] As used herein, a "MUC1-negative" cell refers to a cell that does not express the MUC1 gene.
[0191] As used herein, "MUC1 * A "positive" cell refers to a cell that expresses the gene for MUC1, the expressed protein of which is a transmembrane protein lacking tandem repeats, which may be the result of post-translational modification, truncation, alternative splicing, or transfection or transduction of the cell with a MUC1 protein lacking tandem repeats.
[0192] As used herein, "MUC1 * "Negative" cells refer to cells that may or may not express the gene for MUC1, but do not express the MUC1 transmembrane protein lacking the tandem repeats.
[0193] As used herein, "MUC1-positive" cancer cells refer to cancer cells that overexpress the MUC1 gene, express MUC1 in an abnormal pattern, whose expression is not restricted to the apical edge, and / or express MUC1 that lacks tandem repeats.
[0194] As used herein, "MUC1-negative" cancer cells refer to cancer cells that may or may not express the MUC1 gene, but do not overexpress MUC1 or do not overexpress the MUC1 transmembrane protein lacking tandem repeats.
[0195] As used herein, "MUC1 * "Positive" cancer cells refer to cancer cells that overexpress the MUC1 transmembrane protein lacking the tandem repeats.
[0196] As used herein, "MUC1-negative" cancer cells refer to cancer cells that may or may not express the gene for MUC1, but do not overexpress the MUC1 transmembrane protein lacking tandem repeats.
[0197] As used herein, a "conformational epitope" refers to a peptide sequence that is required to exist in a specific three-dimensional structure or conformation for an antibody to bind. However, antibodies bind when the peptide sequence is in a three-dimensional structure or conformation, but not when it is linear. A common technique for determining whether an antibody binds to a linear stretch or conformational epitope is to use the antibody to probe a denaturing Western blot. Proteins and peptides become linear when passed through a denaturing gel. An antibody that does not work in a denaturing Western blot but recognizes a natural target expressed, for example, in intact cells, is determined to recognize a conformational epitope. As used herein, an antibody may or may not actually bind to a "conformational epitope," but the presence of a "conformational epitope" sequence indicates that the antibody binds to MUC1 of cancer cells. *These conformational epitopes are necessary to confer a three-dimensional structure that allows binding by specific antibodies for cancer therapy. Thus, conformational epitopes are essential for the binding of MUC1 to cancer cells. * A conformation-directing peptide sequence is an amino acid sequence that directs antibody binding to a region of the peptide. Thus, the term "conformation-directing peptide sequence" can be used to indicate that the peptide sequence is present within a larger peptide that directs antibody binding to the larger peptide, not as a binding site, but by forming a three-dimensional structure that facilitates antibody binding to the larger peptide.
[0198] MUC1 for treating or preventing cancer * Antibody (anti-PSMGFR)
[0199] The present inventors have discovered that a truncated form of the MUC1 (SEQ ID NO: 1) transmembrane protein is the growth factor receptor that drives the growth of more than 75% of all human solid tumor cancers. * A truncated form of MUC1, termed (prominent muk 1 star), is a potent growth factor receptor. Enzymatic cleavage releases most of the MUC1 extracellular domain. MUC1 * The remaining portion of MUC1, including the truncated extracellular domain, transmembrane domain, and cytoplasmic tail, is termed NME1. Cleavage and release of most of the extracellular domain of MUC1 results in the formation of dimers NME1, NME6, NME8, and NME7. AB This exposes the binding site for activating NME7-X1 or NME7 ligands. Cell proliferation assays show that it is MUC1 that promotes proliferation. * This indicates ligand-induced dimerization of the extracellular domain (Figures 1A-1D). * MUC1 treated with either antibody, monovalent "mv" or Fab, NM23-H1 dimer or NME7-AB * Positive cells. Bivalent anti-MUC1 * Antibodies stimulate cancer cell proliferation, whereas monovalent Fab inhibits proliferation. The classic bell-shaped curve indicates that ligand-induced dimerization stimulates proliferation. Dimer NM23-H1, also known as NME1, binds to MUC1 *NME7-AB stimulates the proliferation of MUC1-positive cancer cells, whereas siRNA that suppresses MUC1 expression abolishes this effect (Fig. 1C). * stimulates the proliferation of positive cells (Figure 1D).
[0200] MUC1 * MUC1 is aberrantly expressed in over 75% of all cancers and is likely overexpressed in a particularly high percentage of metastatic cancers, making it an excellent target for cancer drugs. After cleavage of MUC1, most of its extracellular domain is shed from the cell surface. The remaining portion has a truncated extracellular domain that contains at least the primary growth factor receptor sequence PSMGFR (SEQ ID NO: 2). Antibodies that bind to the PSMGFR sequence, particularly NME1, NME6, NME8, and NME7, have been identified. AB Antibodies that competitively inhibit the binding of activating ligands such as NME proteins, including NME7-X1 and NME7, are ideal therapeutic agents and can be used as multispecific antibody-like molecules, bispecific antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates, or standalone antibodies, antibody fragments, or variable region fragments thereof, incorporated into chimeric antigen receptors (also known as CARs), MUC1-positive or MUC1-positive antibodies. * These antibodies can then be transfected or transduced into immune cells and then administered to patients to treat or prevent MUC1-positive cancers. * Antibodies can be monoclonal, polyclonal, antibody mimics, engineered antibody-like molecules, complete antibodies, or antibody fragments. Examples of antibody fragments include, but are not limited to, Fab, scFv, and scFv-Fc. Human or humanized antibodies are preferred for use in cancer treatment or prevention. Mutations can be introduced into any of these antibody-like molecules to prevent or minimize dimer formation. Anti-MUC1 antibodies can be monovalent or bispecific. * The antibody is MUC1 * NME1 and NME7 are preferred because their function is activated by ligand-induced dimerization. AB MUC1 *These activating growth factors bind to the PSMGFR peptide portion of MUC1 (Figures 2A and 2D). Furthermore, these activating growth factors do not bind to the PSMGFR peptide when the 10 C-terminal amino acids are deleted, indicating that MUC1 * Similarly, anti-MUC1 * Antibodies MNC2 and MNE6 bind to the PSMGFR peptide only if the C-terminal 10 amino acids are present (Figures 2B and 2C). Antibodies MNC3 and MNC8 bind to a different epitope than MNC2 and MNE6, as they do not depend on the presence of the C-terminal 10 amino acids of the PSMGFR peptide (Figures 2E and 2F). The antibodies MNC2, MNE6, 20A10, 3C2B1, 5C6F3, 25E6, 18G12, 28F9, 1E4, B12, B2, B7, B9, 8C7F3, and H11, as well as other antibodies of the present invention, or fragments derived therefrom, can be administered to patients as standalone antibodies for the treatment or prevention of cancer, or can be incorporated into BiTEs, ADCs, multispecific antibody-like molecules, bispecific antibodies, with or without Fc or Fc region portions, bi-scFvs, di-scFvs, tandem di-scFvs, diabodies, triabodies, tribodies, tetrabodies, and other antibody-like molecules that are multivalent and multispecific. The antibodies or antibody fragments can be murine, human, humanized, camelid, rabbit, or other non-human species.
[0201] Chimeric antigen receptors, also known as BiTEs or CARs, transduced into immune cells: MNC2, MNE6, 20A10, 3C2B1, 5C6F3, 25E6, 18G12, 28F9, 1E4, B12, B2, B7, B9, 8C7F3, and H11 antibodies, as well as NME1 and NME7.

[0202] Therapeutic anti-MUC1 for use as a standalone antibody therapeutic or for incorporation into either a BiTE, CAR, ADC, or multispecific antibody-like molecule * Antibodies can be selected based on certain criteria. Parent antibodies can be produced using typical methods for producing monoclonal antibodies in animals. Alternatively, they can be selected by screening antibody or antibody fragment libraries, including, but not limited to, the strategy described in U.S. Patent No. 9,944,719 B2 to Beckman, which is incorporated herein by reference for a description of how to screen antibodies. Antibodies suitable for therapeutic use can be: MUC1 * Selected based on their ability to bind to the peptide:
[0203] (i) the PSMGFR region of MUC1;
[0204] (ii) a PSMGFR peptide,
[0205] (iii) a peptide having the following amino acid sequence: QFNQYKTEAASRYNLTISDVSVSDVPFPFSAQSGA(N-10)
[0206] (iv) a peptide having the following amino acid sequence:
[0207] ASRYNLTISDVSVSDVPFPFSAQSGA(N-19)
[0208] (v) a peptide having the following amino acid sequence:
[0209] NLTISDVSVSDVPFPFSAQSGA(N-23)
[0210] (vi) a peptide having the following amino acid sequence:
[0211] ISDVSVSDVPFPFSAQSGA(N-26)
[0212] (vii) a peptide having the following amino acid sequence:
[0213] SVSDVPFPFSAQSGA(N-30)
[0214] (viii) a peptide having the following amino acid sequence:
[0215] QFNQYKTEAASRYNLTISDDVSVSDVPFPFS(N-10 / C-5)
[0216] (ix) a peptide having the following amino acid sequence:
[0217] ASRYNLTISDVSVSDVPFPFS(N-19 / C-5) or
[0218] (x) a peptide having the following amino acid sequence:
[0219] FPFSAQSGA(N-36).
[0220] The resulting antibodies or antibody fragments thus produced or selected can then be further selected by passing them through additional screening. For example, the antibodies or antibody fragments can be selected from antibodies that bind to MUC1 * The ability of the anti-MUC1 antibody to bind to MUC1-positive cancer cells or tissues, but not to MUC1-negative cancer cells or normal tissues, makes it more preferred. * Antibodies or antibody fragments may be deselected as anti-cancer therapeutics if they bind to stem or progenitor cells. * The antibody or antibody fragment may be * It would be more preferable if MNE6 and MNC2 have the ability to competitively inhibit the binding of activating ligands such as NME7AB or NME7-X1 to MUC1. * Figure 1 shows that NF-κB competitively inhibits the binding of activating ligands NME1 and NME7 to NF-κB.
[0221] Anti-MUC1 antibodies for use in treating patients diagnosed with, at risk of developing, or suspected of having MUC1-positive cancer * A process for selecting antibodies, comprising one or more of the following steps: 1) binding to PSMGFR peptides; 2) binding to N-10 PSMGFR peptides; 3) selectively binding to cancer cells; 4) not binding to C-10 PSMGFR peptides; and 5) competitively inhibiting the binding of dimeric NME1 or NME7-AB to PSMGFR peptides. For example, Figures 3A-3C show that monoclonal antibodies MNE6 and MNC2 meet all five criteria, while monoclonal antibodies MNC3 and MNC8 do not competitively inhibit the binding of the activating ligands NME1 and NME7 (Figure 3C). * Recall that growth factor receptors are activated by ligand-induced dimerization of their extracellular domains. Therefore, an ideal antibody therapeutic, when used as a straightforward standalone antibody therapeutic, would be MUC1. * The extracellular domain should not dimerize. For this therapeutic format, suitable antibodies in this regard include monovalent antibodies such as those generated in llamas and camels, Fab, scFv, single domain antibodies (sdAb), scFv-Fc, so long as the Fc portion is constructed so as not to homodimerize.
[0222] FACS scan shows anti-MUC1 * Antibodies MNC2 and MNE6 are MUC1 * Positive solid tumor cancer cells and MUC1 * Specific binding to transfected cells but not to MUC1 * In one example, the humanized MNC2 scFv, ZR-75-1, also known as 1500, does not bind to MUC1-negative or MUC1-negative cells. * MNE6 has been shown to bind to MUC1-positive breast cancer cells (Figures 4A-4C). *MNE6 was shown to bind to MUC1-negative HCT-116 colon cancer cells only when transfected with MUC1. * Positive cancer cells, such as ZR-75-1, aka 1500, MUC1 * MNC2 and MNE6 bound to the PSMGFR peptide and to live MUC1-positive breast cancer cells (Figures 4D-4F). Binding assays, including ELISA and immunofluorescence, all confirmed that MNC2 and MNE6 bound to the PSMGFR peptide and to live MUC1-positive cancer cells. * Antibodies are selected based on their ability to bind to either the PSMGFR peptide or MUC1-positive cancer cells. * Similar to the Fab, the humanized MNC2 scFv binds to the peptide PSMGFR with high affinity, exhibiting an EC-50 of approximately 333 nM. As shown in examples in Figures 6A and 6B, the humanized MNC2 scFv binds to the peptide MUC1. * The humanized scFvs potently inhibit the growth of IgG-positive cancer cells. Similar to the parent antibody, the humanized scFvs show the same binding pattern. huMNE6-scFv binds to the PSMGFR peptide and the N-10 peptide, but not to the C-10 peptide (SEQ ID NO: 825) (Figure 8). However, murine or humanized MNC3-scFv, which are less suitable for cancer treatment, bind to the PSMGFR peptide, the N-10 peptide, and also to the C-10 peptide (Figure 9), which indicates that they bind to the activating ligand NME7. AB is known to be the epitope to which it binds.
[0223] The Fabs of MNE6 and MNC2 or equivalent single-chain variable regions derived from them inhibit MUC1 in vitro and in vivo. * In some cases, anti-MUC1 * The Fab of the antibody binds to human MUC1 in vivo. * In one case, immunocompromised mice were implanted with human breast tumors and then treated with MNE6 Fab after tumor engraftment. Figure 7A shows that MNE6 Fab inhibited the growth of MUC1-positive tumors. *Female nu / nu mice implanted with estrogen pellets for 90 days were implanted with 6 million T47D human breast canc...
