Abstract
Description
Anti-CD276 nanoantibody and its preparation method and application Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biomedicine, and in particular to an anti-CD276 nanobody and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] The CD276 molecule, also known as B7-H3, is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein belonging to the B7 family of immune co-stimulatory and co-inhibitory globulins. Existing research indicates that CD276 has both immune-activating and immunosuppressive effects. CD276 can exert immunosuppressive effects by attenuating the secretion of the type I cytokine IFN-γ. Numerous studies support the negative immunoregulatory effects of CD276 in models of graft-versus-host disease, cardiac transplant rejection, airway inflammation, and autoimmune encephalomyelitis. Furthermore, CD276 has been found to provide immune co-stimulatory signals to T cells in autoimmune diseases both in vivo and in vitro.
[0003] Numerous studies have shown that CD276 is overexpressed in a variety of human tumors, including leukemia, gastric cancer, breast cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, ovarian cancer, osteosarcoma, neuroblastoma, pancreatic cancer, and breast cancer, but its expression is limited in normal tissues. It has also been reported to be expressed in important components of the tumor microenvironment, such as cancer stem cells, tumor stromal cells, and tumor angiogenesis. Overexpression of CD276 often reduces the infiltration of tumor-associated lymphocytes within the tumor, accelerates disease progression, and is often closely associated with poor prognosis in cancers such as pancreatic ductal carcinoma, prostate cancer, ovarian cancer, lung cancer, and clear cell renal carcinoma. CD276 is a very promising target for tumor therapy.
[0004] However, there is currently a lack of anti-CD276 nanobodies with high affinity, high specificity and high biological activity against CD276. Therefore, there is an urgent need in the art to develop anti-CD276 nanobodies with high affinity, high specificity and high biological activity. Summary of the Invention

[0090] After extensive and in-depth research, the present inventors unexpectedly obtained, through extensive screening, for the first time, anti-CD276 nanoantibodies with high affinity and high specificity. Specifically, the present invention used CD276 recombinant protein to immunize camels, thereby obtaining a high-quality immune library. Phage display technology was used to screen the immune library, resulting in a class of specific nanoantibodies against CD276. Based on the nanoantibodies, the present invention also provides antibody-drug conjugates with significant anti-CD276 effects. The anti-CD276 nanoantibodies of the present invention have high affinity, simple structure, and are easy to prepare, with broad application prospects in fields such as tumor treatment and immunoassays. This is the basis for the completion of the present invention.
[0091] the term
[0092] In order to more easily understand the present disclosure, some terms are first defined. As used in this application, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, each of the following terms should have the meaning given below. Other definitions are set forth throughout the application.
[0093] The term "about" can refer to a value or composition that is within an acceptable error range for a particular value or composition as determined by one of ordinary skill in the art, which will depend in part on how the value or composition is measured or determined. For example, as used herein, the expression "about 100" includes all values between 99 and 101 (e.g., 99.1, 99.2, 99.3, 99.4, etc.).
[0094] As used herein, the terms "comprising" or "including" may be open, semi-closed, or closed. In other words, the terms also include "consisting essentially of" or "consisting of."
[0095] Sequence identity is determined by comparing two aligned sequences along a predetermined comparison window (which can be 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95% or 100% of the length of the reference nucleotide sequence or protein) and determining the number of positions at which identical residues occur. Typically, this is expressed as a percentage. The measurement of sequence identity of nucleotide sequences is a method well known to those skilled in the art.
[0096] Antibody
[0097] As used herein, the term "antibody" refers to immunoglobulins, which are tetrapeptide chains composed of two identical heavy chains and two identical light chains connected by interchain disulfide bonds.
[0098] As used herein, the terms "single-domain antibody (VHH)" and "nanobody" have the same meaning and refer to the cloning of the variable region of an antibody heavy chain to construct a single-domain antibody (VHH) consisting of only a single heavy chain variable region. This is the smallest antigen-binding fragment with complete function. Typically, an antibody naturally lacking the light chain and heavy chain constant region 1 (CH1) is first obtained, and then the variable region of the antibody heavy chain is cloned to construct a single-domain antibody (VHH) consisting of only a single heavy chain variable region.
[0099] The term "antigen-binding fragment of an antibody" (or simply "antibody fragment") refers to one or more fragments of an antibody that retain the ability to specifically bind to an antigen (e.g., CD276). It has been shown that fragments of a full-length antibody can be used to perform the antigen-binding function of an antibody. Examples of binding fragments encompassed by the term "antigen-binding fragment of an antibody" include:
[0100] (i) Fab fragment, a monovalent fragment consisting of the VL, VH, CL, and CH1 domains;
[0101] (ii) F(ab')2 fragment, a bivalent fragment comprising two Fab fragments linked by a disulfide bridge at the hinge region;
[0102] (iii) an Fd fragment consisting of the VH and CH1 domains;
[0103] (iv) An Fv fragment consisting of the VH and VL domains of a single arm of an antibody.
[0104] Fv antibodies contain the variable regions of the antibody heavy chain and light chain, but no constant region, and are the smallest antibody fragments with all antigen-binding sites. Generally, Fv antibodies also include a polypeptide linker between the VH and VL domains and are able to form the structure required for antigen binding.
[0105] The term "CDR" refers to one of the six hypervariable regions within the variable domain of an antibody that primarily contributes to antigen binding. One of the most commonly used definitions of the six CDRs is provided by Kabat EA et al. (1991) Sequences of proteins of immunological interest. NIH Publication, No. 91-3242).
[0106] The term "epitope" or "antigenic determinant" refers to a site on an antigen to which an immunoglobulin or antibody specifically binds (e.g., a specific site on a CD276 molecule). An epitope typically includes at least 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, or 15 consecutive or non-consecutive amino acids in a unique spatial conformation.
[0107] The terms "specific binding", "selective binding", "selectively binds" and "specifically binds" refer to the binding of an antibody to a predetermined epitope on an antigen. -7 M, for example, less than approximately 10 -8 M, 10 -9 M or 10 -10 Binds with an affinity (KD) of M or less.
[0108] As used herein, the term "antigenic determinant" refers to a discrete three-dimensional site on an antigen that is recognized by the antibodies or antigen-binding fragments of the present invention.
[0109] The present invention includes not only complete antibodies, but also fragments of antibodies with immunological activity or fusion proteins formed by antibodies and other sequences. Therefore, the present invention also includes fragments, derivatives and analogs of the antibodies.
[0110] In the present invention, the antibodies of the present invention also include conservative variants thereof, which refer to polypeptides in which no more than 10, preferably no more than 8, more preferably no more than 5, and most preferably no more than 3 amino acids are replaced with amino acids having similar or similar properties, compared to the amino acid sequence of the antibodies of the present invention. These conservative variant polypeptides are preferably generated by making amino acid substitutions according to Table A below.
[0111] Table A
[0112] Anti-CD276 nanobody
[0113] As used herein, the term "CD276" generally refers to natural or recombinant human CD276, as well as non-human homologs of human CD276.
[0114] As used herein, the terms "Nanoantibodies of the present invention", "single domain antibodies of the present invention", and "anti-CD276 Nanoantibodies of the present invention" are used interchangeably and all refer to the highly specific and high affinity Nanoantibodies of the present invention against CD276.
[0115] Compared with traditional monoclonal antibodies, the nanoantibodies of the present invention have small molecular weight, strong penetration, high sensitivity, strong specificity and good stability; once they enter the body, they can efficiently penetrate cells to quickly capture antigens to achieve therapeutic purposes.
[0116] In the present invention, the anti-CD276 nanobody includes monomers, bivalents (divalent antibodies), tetravalents (tetravalent antibodies), and / or multivalents (multivalent antibodies).
[0117] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the amino acid sequence of the VHH chain of the anti-CD276 nanobody is selected from one or more of SEQ ID NOs: 1 to 5. The preferred nanobody names, VHH sequence numbers and corresponding CDR region sequence numbers of the present invention are shown in Table 1:
[0118] Table 1
[0119] Note: Each numerical value in the table represents a sequence number, i.e., "1" represents "SEQ ID NO: 1".
[0120] Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs)
[0121] The present invention also provides an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) based on the Nanobody of the present invention.
[0122] Typically, the antibody-drug conjugate comprises the antibody and an effector molecule, wherein the antibody is conjugated to the effector molecule, preferably chemically conjugated. The effector molecule is preferably a therapeutically active drug. Furthermore, the effector molecule may be one or more of a toxic protein, a chemotherapeutic drug, a small molecule drug, or a radionuclide.
[0123] The antibody of the present invention and the effector molecule can be coupled via a coupling agent. Examples of the coupling agent may include any one or more of a non-selective coupling agent, a coupling agent utilizing a carboxyl group, a peptide chain, and a coupling agent utilizing a disulfide bond. The non-selective coupling agent refers to a compound that forms a covalent bond between the effector molecule and the antibody, such as glutaraldehyde. The coupling agent utilizing a carboxyl group may include any one or more of a cis-aconitic anhydride coupling agent (such as cis-aconitic anhydride) and an acylhydrazone coupling agent (where the coupling site is an acylhydrazone).
[0124] Certain residues on antibodies (such as Cys or Lys, etc.) are used to connect to a variety of functional groups, including imaging agents (such as chromophores and fluorescent groups), diagnostic agents (such as MRI contrast agents and radioisotopes), stabilizers (such as ethylene glycol polymers) and therapeutic agents. Antibodies can be coupled to functional agents to form antibody-functional agent conjugates. Functional agents (such as drugs, detection reagents, stabilizers) are coupled (covalently linked) to antibodies. Functional agents can be directly or indirectly connected to antibodies through linkers.
[0125] Antibodies can be coupled to drugs to form antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). Typically, ADCs contain a linker positioned between the drug and the antibody. The linker can be a degradable or non-degradable linker. Degradable linkers typically readily degrade in the intracellular environment, for example, at the target site, where the linker degrades, thereby releasing the drug from the antibody. Suitable degradable linkers include, for example, enzymatically degradable linkers, including linkers containing peptidyl groups that can be degraded by intracellular proteases (e.g., lysosomal proteases or endosomal proteases), or sugar linkers, such as glucuronide-containing linkers that can be degraded by glucuronidases. Peptide linkers can include, for example, dipeptides such as valine-citrulline, phenylalanine-lysine, or valine-alanine. Other suitable degradable linkers include, for example, pH-sensitive linkers (e.g., linkers that hydrolyze at a pH of less than 5.5, such as hydrazone linkers) and linkers that degrade under reducing conditions (e.g., disulfide linkers). Non-degradable linkers typically release the drug when the antibody is hydrolyzed by proteases.
[0126] Prior to attachment to the antibody, the linker has an active reactive group capable of reacting with certain amino acid residues, and attachment is achieved via the active reactive group. Thiol-specific active reactive groups are preferred and include, for example, maleimides, haloamides (e.g., iodinated, brominated, or chlorinated); haloesters (e.g., iodinated, brominated, or chlorinated); halomethylketones (e.g., iodinated, brominated, or chlorinated); benzyl halides (e.g., iodinated, brominated, or chlorinated); vinyl sulfones, pyridyl disulfides; mercury derivatives such as 3,6-di-(mercurymethyl)dioxane, where the counter ion is acetate, chloride, or nitrate; and polymethylene dimethyl sulfide thiosulfonate. Linkers may include, for example, maleimides attached to the antibody via thiosuccinimide.
[0127] The drug can be any cytotoxic, cytostatic, or immunosuppressive drug. In embodiments, a linker connects the antibody and the drug, and the drug has a functional group capable of forming a bond with the linker. For example, the drug can have an amino, carboxyl, sulfhydryl, hydroxyl, or keto group capable of forming a bond with the linker. In cases where the drug is directly attached to the linker, the drug has a reactive group prior to attachment to the antibody.
[0128] Useful drug classes include, for example, anti-tubulin drugs, DNA minor groove binding agents, DNA replication inhibitors, alkylating agents, antibiotics, folic acid antagonists, antimetabolites, chemosensitizers, topoisomerase inhibitors, vinca alkaloids, and the like. In the present invention, drug-linkers can be used to form ADCs in a single step. In other embodiments, bifunctional linker compounds can be used to form ADCs in a two-step or multi-step process. For example, a cysteine residue reacts with a reactive portion of a linker in a first step, and in a subsequent step, the functional group on the linker reacts with the drug to form an ADC.
[0129] Typically, the functional group on the linker is selected to facilitate specific reaction with an appropriate reactive group on the drug moiety. As a non-limiting example, an azide-based moiety can be used to specifically react with a reactive alkynyl group on the drug moiety. The drug is covalently attached to the linker via a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition between the azide and alkynyl groups. Other useful functional groups include, for example, ketones and aldehydes (suitable for reaction with hydrazides and alkoxyamines), phosphines (suitable for reaction with azides); isocyanates and isothiocyanates (suitable for reaction with amines and alcohols); and activated esters, such as N-hydroxysuccinimide esters (suitable for reaction with amines and alcohols). These and other linking strategies, such as those described in Bioconjugation Technology, 2nd Edition (Elsevier), are well known to those skilled in the art. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that, when a complementary pair of reactive functional groups is selected for selective reaction between the drug moiety and the linker, each member of the complementary pair can be used for both the linker and the drug.
[0130] The present invention also provides a method for preparing an ADC, which may further comprise: combining an antibody and a drug-linker compound under conditions sufficient to form an antibody conjugate (ADC).
