Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to the fields of cancer and immunotherapy, and more particularly to CD80 IgV mutant polypeptides, CD80 ECD mutant polypeptides, CD80 mutant fusion polypeptide complexes containing the mutant polypeptides, and nucleotide molecules expressing the mutant fusion polypeptide complexes as fusion proteins. The present invention also relates to methods for inducing or enhancing immunity, as well as methods for treating or preventing diseases such as infectious diseases and cancer, using the mutant polypeptides, fusion polypeptide complexes, or nucleic acid molecules. [Background technology]
[0002] CD80 proteins are a type of immune-related molecule that stimulates immune responses, primarily by regulating T-cell immune responses such as immune defense, immune tolerance, and immune tissue damage.
[0003] CD80 primarily exerts its immunomodulatory effects and regulates the immune response by binding to its ligands, CD28, CTLA4, and PDL1. By altering the affinity between CD80 and its ligands, the related functions mediated by CD80 can be modified, particularly enhancing immune response function and strengthening its control over diseases such as cancer and infectious diseases.
[0004] The CD80 molecule is a member of the B7 molecule family and is involved in the co-stimulatory activation of T cells. A mature CD80 molecule consists of an extracellular domain (ECD), a transmembrane domain, and an intracellular domain. Of these, the extracellular domain (ECD) is crucial for binding to the corresponding receptor on T cells. The extracellular domain of CD80 includes an immunoglobulin variant (IgV) domain and a constant-state immunoglobulin (IgC2) domain, with the IgV structural domain being particularly involved in direct receptor binding. The IgV extracellular domain of CD80 binds to CD28 and is involved in the induction of T cell activation, proliferation, and efficacy. CTLA4 can also bind to the IgV domain of CD80 and participate in immunosuppressive regulation.
[0005] In regulating the immune response, T cell activation is controlled by the binding of the costimulatory signaling receptor CD28 to its corresponding ligand CD80 / CD86 on the surface of antigen-presenting cells (APCs). However, in the tumor microenvironment, CD80 and CD86 are usually not expressed or are expressed at low levels, which can prevent T cell activation. This is one of the main mechanisms of immune evasion in tumors.
[0006] Furthermore, CTLA4 competitively binds to CD80 / CD86 with CD28, exhibiting higher affinity properties. As a result, CD28 is unable to effectively accept immune agonist signals mediated by CD80 / CD86, leading to ineffective T cell activation or immunosuppression. In addition, by binding PDL1 to CD80, it weakens the CD80-mediated immune activation effect and interferes with the normal activation of T cells, thus suppressing the associated immune response.
[0007] Therefore, in this field, there is a need for CD80 variant polypeptides with improved binding activity to CD80 and its ligands, which can effectively stimulate T cells to enhance the immune response, thereby enabling the treatment or prevention of diseases such as infections and tumors caused by the suppression of T cell function. [Overview of the Initiative]
[0008] The inventors of this invention unexpectedly discovered that CD80 mutant polypeptides, obtained by innovatively modifying the CD80 IgV domain, can modulate the binding activity of CD80 to its ligand. These CD80 mutant polypeptides can effectively stimulate T cells and enhance the immune response. As a result, treatment or prevention of diseases such as infections and tumors caused by suppressed T cell function becomes possible.

[0297] The results in Table 8 and Figure 7 show that the CD80 mutant fusion polypeptide complexes Abs-353, Abs-354, Abs-355, and Abs-356 have a higher ability to activate T cells in primary PBMCs than the wild-type CD80 fusion polypeptide complex Abs-99.
[0298] Example 8. Measurement of chemokine secretion by antigen-presenting cells. This example demonstrates that Abs induces the secretion of the chemokine CCL4 from antigen-presenting cells.
[0299] Specifically, antigen-presenting cells (THP-1 cells, or ATCCs) were collected, counted, and then plated. Fresh culture medium was added, the cells were homogenized, and the cell density was increased to 1 × 10⁻⁶. 6 The culture medium was adjusted to cells / ml, and 100 μl of cells were plated into each well. 100 μl of fresh medium containing the corresponding concentration of test substance Abs_520 or Abs_521 was added to each well. After 6 hours, the cell culture supernatant was collected, and the CCL4 expression level was detected using the CCL4 Detection Kit (PROTEINTECH). Specific procedures were performed according to the manufacturer's instructions. The results, as shown in Figure 8, demonstrate that Abs_520 and Abs_521 can induce chemokine secretion from antigen-presenting cells.
[0300] The results of the above examples demonstrate that CD80 mutant polypeptides formed by innovatively modifying the CD80 IgV domain can modulate the binding activity of CD80 to its ligands. In particular, the CD80 mutant fusion polypeptide complexes disclosed herein exhibit significantly higher antigen-binding activity to PDL1, CTLA4, and CD28 than the corresponding wild-type CD80 fusion polypeptide complexes, and the CD80 mutant fusion polypeptide complexes disclosed herein can deactivate the PD-1 / PD-L1-mediated T cell activation immunosuppressive response; modulate PBMC activation and promote chemokine secretion from antigen-presenting cells. In other words, the CD80 mutant fusion polypeptide complexes disclosed herein can effectively stimulate T cells and enhance the immune response, thereby achieving the treatment or prevention of diseases such as infections and tumors caused by the suppression of T cell function.
