Abstract
Description
Bispecific antibody prodrugs and their applications Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of molecular immunology in biomedicine, and specifically to a bispecific antibody prodrug and its application. Background Art
[0002] Bifunctional antibodies, also known as bispecific antibodies (BsAb), are specific drugs that simultaneously target two different antigens and can be produced by immunosorting and purification. In addition, they can also be obtained through genetic engineering, which enables the design and production of many different forms of bispecific antibody fragments. Genetic engineering has certain advantages in terms of flexibility in terms of binding site optimization, synthetic form considerations, and yield. Because this form is similar to naturally occurring IgG, it has advantages in antibody engineering, expression, and purification, and has been proven to be one of the ideal forms of bifunctional antibodies. BsAb is widely used in biomedicine, especially in immunotherapy for tumors.
[0003] Currently, a focus of immunotherapy research is how to use BsAb-mediated cytotoxicity to kill tumor cells. BsAb can be designed to simultaneously target tumor cells and effector cells and activate effector cells to kill tumor cells. The role of the immune system, especially T cell-mediated cytotoxicity, in tumor control is well-established, and increasing evidence indicates that T cells play a primary role in controlling tumor growth and survival in cancer patients. Over the past few decades, treatments for various types of tumors have aimed to reshape and improve the function and activity of T cells, giving them stronger and longer-lasting anti-tumor properties. Among them, T cell-bridging Bispecific T-cell Engager (BiTE): a bispecific antibody composed of a T cell binding domain (such as CD3) and a tumor binding domain (mainly tumor-associated antigens, TAAs), allows T cells to establish a physical connection with tumor cells, which can promote cytotoxic T cells to kill tumors. In 2014, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the first BiTE, Blinatumomab (an anti-CD3 and anti-CD19 bispecific antibody), for the treatment of relapsed / refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). This demonstrated that killing endogenous T cells in tumors is achievable without the need for in vitro immune cell editing, which is one aspect of BiTE's advantage over cell therapy.
[0004] Despite the successful application of blinatumomab in B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), BiTEs have had a less-than-optimal response in solid tumors, encountering similar challenges as cell-based therapies. This may be due to the limited penetration of BiTEs into tumor tissues and the numerous immunosuppressive factors in the tumor microenvironment. Furthermore, the T cell binding domain-mediated activation of T cells in non-tumor tissues can lead to severe side effects and the generation of a cytokine storm.
[0005] The in vivo efficacy of BiTEs largely depends on the specificity of tumor-associated antigens (TAAs), but they may also be expressed on non-tumor tissues, such as epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM), and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (Her2). Existing BiTEs are designed by combining antibodies targeting antigens that are also expressed in peripheral tissues with CD3. However, the effect of such a combination is that the CD3 complex can still be cross-linked by this tumor-associated antigen in peripheral non-tumor tissues, resulting in non-tumor but targeted toxicity, mainly manifested as cytokine storm and peripheral tissue damage. These problems seriously limit the ideal therapeutic outcomes of BiTEs. Summary of the Invention

The term also includes a sequence that is bound to the polynucleotide, which provides a signal by the expression of an inserted sequence, such as green fluorescent protein (GFP). The label itself can be detected (e.g., a radioisotope label or a fluorescent label) or, in the case of an enzyme label, can catalyze a chemical change in a substrate compound or composition that can be detected. The label can be used for small-scale detection or is more suitable for high-throughput screening. Similarly, suitable labels include, but are not limited to, radioisotopes, fluorescent dyes, chemiluminescent compounds, dyes, and proteins (including enzymes). The label can only be detected or can be quantified. The reaction that is only detected generally includes a reaction that can only confirm its presence, and the reaction that can be quantified generally includes a reaction with a quantifiable value (e.g., that can be reported digitally) such as intensity, polarization, and / or other properties. In luminescent or fluorescent assays, the detectable reaction can be directly using a luminophore or fluorophore associated with a component of the assay that actually involves binding, or indirectly using a luminophore or fluorophore linked to another (eg, a reporter molecule or indicator) component.
[0102] "Single-chain variable fragment" or "scFv" refers to a fusion protein of the variable regions of the heavy chain (VH) and light chain (VL) of an immunoglobulin. In certain aspects, these regions are connected by a short linker peptide of 10 to about 25 amino acids. The linker can be rich in glycine for flexibility and also contain serine or threonine for solubility, and can connect the N-terminus of the VH to the C-terminus of the VL, and vice versa. The protein retains the properties of the original immunoglobulin, except that the constant regions have been removed and a linker has been introduced. ScFv molecules are known in the art, such as those described in U.S. Patent No. 5,892,019.
[0103] As used herein, the term "antibody fragment" or "antigen-binding fragment" is a portion of an antibody, such as F(ab')2, F(ab)2, Fab', Fab, Fv, scFv, and the like.
[0104] As used herein, the term "host cell" refers to a cell that can be used to introduce a vector, including but not limited to prokaryotic cells such as Escherichia coli or Bacillus subtilis, fungal cells such as yeast cells or Aspergillus, insect cells such as S2 Drosophila cells or Sf9, or animal cells such as fibroblasts, CHO cells, COS cells, NSO cells, HeLa cells, GS cells, BHK cells, HEK 293 cells or human cells.
[0105] As used herein, the term "specific binding" refers to a non-random binding reaction between two molecules, such as an antibody and its antigen. In certain embodiments, an antibody that specifically binds to an antigen (or has specificity for an antigen) means that the antibody binds to the antigen with a specificity of less than about 10 -5 M, for example, less than about 10 -6 M, 10 -7 M, 10 -8 M, 10 -9 M or 10 -10 Affinity of M or less (K D ) binds to the antigen.
[0106] As used herein, the term "K D " refers to the dissociation equilibrium constant of a specific antibody-antigen interaction, which is used to describe the binding affinity between the antibody and the antigen. The smaller the equilibrium dissociation constant, the tighter the antibody-antigen binding and the higher the affinity between the antibody and the antigen. Generally, antibodies bind with a dissociation equilibrium constant of less than about 10 -5 M, for example, less than about 10 -6 M, 10 -7 M, 10 -8 M, 10 -9 M or 10 -10 M or less dissociation equilibrium constant (K D ) binds to an antigen (e.g., PD-1 protein). K can be determined using methods known to those skilled in the art. D , for example, using the Fortebio molecular interaction instrument. Description of the drawings:

[0130] All data were analyzed using GraphPad Prism statistical software. Mouse survival curves were analyzed using one-way ANOVA, and other data were analyzed using two-tailed t-tests.
[0131] Example 1. Construction, expression and purification of fusion protein
[0132] 1. Construction of BiTE:
[0133] To design a highly effective and low-toxic bispecific antibody prodrug fusion protein for tumors, a T-cell bridged Bispecific T-cell Engager (BiTE) was used as the basis (Figure 1A). The activity of the CD3 antibody (anti-CD3) was masked using an antibody that binds to a tumor surface-specific antigen (anti-TAA) or a tumor cell-targeting peptide. The anti-TAA (or tumor cell-targeting peptide) and anti-CD3 sequences were linked together using different intermediate linkers selected from the group consisting of:
[0134] i. non-cleavable linkers (e.g. GS of different lengths (SEQ ID NO: 1-3, 24, 28, 30, 32), FIG. 1B ),
[0135] ii. a linker formed by connecting a cleavable linker and a pH-sensitive linker in series (e.g., a polypeptide substrate cleavable by an MMP and an HA linker, SEQ ID NO: 4-5, FIG. 1C ),
[0136] iii. a cleavable linker (e.g., a polypeptide substrate cleavable by an MMP (SEQ ID NO: 6-9, FIG. 1D ),
[0137] iv. pH-sensitive linkers formed in series (e.g., multiple HA linkers (SEQ ID NO: 10-12, FIG. 1E ), or
[0138] v. inserting a cleavable linker into the middle position of the pH-sensitive linker (e.g., a polypeptide substrate sequence that can be cleaved by MMP and an HA linker are placed alternately (SEQ ID NO: 13-14, FIG. 1F ),
[0139] vi. At one end of the Fc (SEQ ID NO: 19-20), the anti-TAA and anti-CD3 sequences were linked together in a homologous (Homo) format using a cleavable linker, as shown in FIG1G .
[0140] vii. In the absence of Fc (SEQ ID NOs: 19-20), structural units 1 and 3 are linked together via a cleavable linker (e.g., a polypeptide substrate cleavable by an MMP (SEQ ID NOs: 6-9), as shown in FIG1H ).
[0141] Figure 2 shows the BiTE structure, wherein Figure 2A shows a general BiTE structure, in which there is a CD3-binding domain and a TAA-binding domain; Figure 2B shows that based on the structure of Figure 2A, the CD3-binding domain is connected to an anti-TAA (or tumor cell targeting peptide) through a non-cleavable linker; Figure 2C shows that based on the structure of Figure 2A, the CD3-binding domain is connected to an anti-TAA (or tumor cell targeting peptide) through a cleavable linker and a pH-sensitive linker; Figure 2D shows that based on the structure of Figure 2A, the CD3-binding domain is connected to an anti-TAA (or tumor cell targeting peptide) through a cleavable linker. 2E shows that, based on the structure of FIG2A , the CD3-binding domain is connected to the anti-TAA (or tumor cell targeting peptide) through a pH-sensitive linker; FIG2F shows that, based on the structure of FIG2A , the CD3-binding domain is connected to the anti-TAA (or tumor cell targeting peptide) by an alternating placement of a cleavable linker and a pH-sensitive linker; FIG2G shows that, based on the structure of FIG2D , there is no Fc, and the CD3-binding domain is connected to the anti-TAA (or tumor cell targeting peptide) through a cleavable linker and a pH-sensitive linker.
[0142] Figure 3 shows that two different tumor antigens are bound in BiTE, and the one used to shield the anti-CD3 activity is a tumor cell targeting peptide (e.g., NGR, EphA2, EphA4), and the other non-shielding function is anti-TAA. Figure 3A shows that on the basic BiTE structure, the CD3-binding domain is connected to the structural unit 3 through a non-cleavable linker; Figure 3B shows that on the basic BiTE structure, the CD3-binding domain is connected to the structural unit 3 in series through a cleavable linker and a pH-sensitive linker; Figure 3C shows that on the basic BiTE structure, the CD3-binding domain is connected to the structural unit 3 through a cleavable linker; Figure 3D shows that on the basic BiTE structure, the CD3-binding domain is connected to the structural unit 3 through a pH-sensitive linker; Figure 3E shows that on the basic BiTE structure, the CD3-binding domain is connected to the structural unit 3 through a cleavable linker and a pH-sensitive linker in an alternating manner; Figure 3F shows that, based on the structure of Figure 3A, there is no Fc, and the CD3-binding domain is connected to the structural unit 3 through a cleavable linker and a pH-sensitive linker.
[0143] Figure 4 shows that the same tumor antigen is bound in BiTEs, and tumor-targeting peptides and anti-TAA are connected in series to shield anti-CD3 activity. Figure 4A shows that based on Figure 2C, anti-TAA is connected to tumor cell targeting peptides; Figure 4B shows that based on Figure 2D, anti-TAA is connected to tumor cell targeting peptides; Figure 4C shows that based on Figure 2E, anti-TAA is connected to tumor cell targeting peptides; Figure 4D shows that based on Figure 2F, anti-TAA is connected to tumor cell targeting peptides; Figure 4E shows that based on Figure 2G, anti-TAA is connected to tumor cell targeting peptides.
[0144] The sequences used in the examples are as follows:
[0145] The sequence of the anti-CD3 antibody was selected from the UCHT1 (SEQ ID NO: 15) or OKT3 clone (SEQ ID NO: 16) that can activate CD3 signaling.
[0146] The commercialized Atezolizumab sequence (SEQ ID NO: 17) was used as the anti-PDL1 antibody.
[0147] The anti-CLDN18.2 sequence is the sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 18.
[0148] The human IgG1 sequences lacking ADCC function and having “Knob” and “Hole” mutations are shown in SEQ ID NO: 19 and SEQ ID NO: 20.
[0149] Each antibody was linked via different linkers and constructed into the expression vector pEE6.4 plasmid (available from LifeScience Market), using a signal peptide (SEQ ID NO: 21, SEQ ID NO: 47 is also available). Host cells containing the vector were constructed by transient transfection of 293F cells, cultured, and the supernatant collected. Finally, the protein was purified by affinity chromatography using a Protein A / G column and stored in aliquots at -80°C.
[0150] For the expression of heterodimeric proteins, two expression vector plasmids with the same molar ratio need to be transferred. Monomers expressed in cells can also spontaneously form heterodimers.
[0151] Specifically, expression plasmids of various fusion proteins were genetically synthesized on the PEE6.4 vector, and then the expression supernatants of various proteins were obtained by transient transfection into 293F cells. Finally, various proteins were purified by Protein A affinity chromatography column.

[0182] Example 2. In vitro biological activity study of fusion protein
[0183] 2.1 Detection of fusion protein binding ability to antigen
[0184] The binding properties of the purified bispecific antibody prodrugs were analyzed using flow cytometry. The results are shown in Figure 6 (the bispecific antibodies used were PDL1×CD3(UCHT1) with the structure shown in Figure 1A, PDL1×CLDN-MMP(double)-CD3(UCHT1) with the structure shown in Figure 2A, CLDN×CD3(UCHT1) with the structure shown in Figure 1A, CLDN×CLDN-MMP(double)-CD3(UCHT1) with the structure shown in Figure 1D, and PDL1×CLDN-MMP(double)-CD3(UCHT1) with the structure shown in Figure 2D).
[0185] (1) Target cell preparation: MC38 cells overexpressing Claundin 18.2 (ACCESSION: P56856) were selected as target cells for the binding test. The cells were cultured in DMEM containing 10% FBS (Fetal Bovine Serum) and 1% P / S (Penicillin, Streptomycin) for more than three generations. When used, the cells were resuspended and the concentration was adjusted to 5×10 6 / ml.
[0186] (2) Protein sample preparation: Each protein sample was diluted to a maximum concentration of 400 nmol / L according to the equimolar mass, and then diluted 10-fold. The tubes were labeled and arranged in the following order: 1:10, 1:100, 1:100, 1:10000, 1:100000. 450 μl of FACS buffer was added to each tube, and 50 μl of the highest concentration protein sample was transferred to the 1:10 dilution tube. Mix thoroughly using a pipette only. Continue the serial dilution by transferring 50 μl from the 1:10 tube to the 1:100 tube, and then to the 1:100000 tube.
[0187] (3) Incubation of cells and samples: Add 100 μl of the prepared cell suspension to each well of a round-bottom 96-well plate, i.e., 5 × 10 5 After centrifugation at 1000 rpm for 5 minutes, discard the supernatant, resuspend the cells with the prepared protein sample, make duplicate wells, and incubate at 4°C in the dark for 30 minutes.
[0188] (4) Commercial fluorescent antibody (Biolegend) conjugated to labeled samples: Add 150 μl of FACS buffer to a 96-well plate, mix thoroughly, and centrifuge at 1000 rpm for 5 minutes. Discard the supernatant and repeat twice. Add 0.5 μl of commercial anti-human Fc-APC / PE per well (Biolegend, 0.5 μl antibody added to 50 μl FACS, mix thoroughly). Incubate at 4°C in the dark for 30 minutes.
[0189] (5) Flow cytometry: Add 150 μl of FACS buffer to each well, mix thoroughly, and centrifuge at 1000 rpm for 5 minutes. Discard the supernatant and repeat twice. Resuspend the cells in 150-200 μl of FACS buffer and transfer to the flow cytometer.
[0190] The results in Figure 6 show that CLDN×CLDN-MMP(double)-CD3(UCHT1) with the structure shown in Figure 1D has the highest binding ability to the MC38-CLDN cell line, followed by PDL1×CLDN-MMP(double)-CD3(UCHT1) with the structure shown in Figure 2D), while PDL1×CD3(UCHT1) with the structure shown in Figure 1A has no binding to this cell line at all.
[0191] 2.2 MMP14 in vitro enzyme cleavage assay
[0192] The protein samples were cleaved in vitro using the enzyme MMP14 to verify the cleavage effect.
[0193] First, recombinant human MMP14 (R&D, Sciences) at a concentration of 80 μg / ml was incubated with 1.72 μg / ml rhFurin (Roche) in activation buffer (50 mM Tris, 1 mM CaCl2, 0.5% (w / v) Brij 35 (pH 9.0) filtered through a 0.22 μm filter) for 2 hours. Protein samples and activated MMP14 were added to the assay buffer at a molar ratio of 5:1 and incubated for 24 hours. The protein concentration in the enzyme digestion system was 100 μg / ml. The activation buffer consisted of 50 mM Tris, 3 mM CaCl2, 1 μM ZnCl2 (pH 8.5) and filtered through a 0.22 μm filter. The proteins were then analyzed by SDS-PAGE, and relative gel band intensities were analyzed to quantify the amount of cleavage in each protein / MMP14 mixture. The SDS-PAGE electrophoresis pattern is shown in Figure 7. The results in FIG7 show that PDL1×CLDN-MMP(double)-CD3(UCHT1) with the structure shown in FIG2D can be completely cleaved by MMP enzyme.
[0194] 2.3 Experimental study on the recovery of MMP14 activity after in vitro enzymatic cleavage
[0195] Following the method described in the in vitro MMP14 enzyme cleavage assay in 2.2, we performed an in vitro enzyme cleavage experiment on PDL1×CLDN-MMP(double)-CD3(UCHT1) with the structure shown in Figure 2D, and set up a control with the same incubation conditions but without MMP14 enzyme. The SDS-PAGE electrophoresis identification pattern is shown in Figure 7, and the results of the binding ability recovery test after enzyme cleavage are shown in Figure 8.
[0196] CD3 + Cell sorting: using MojoSort TMHuman CD3 T Cell Isolation Kit (Biolegend) was used for sorting. According to the instructions, the materials in the kit were provided, and MojoSort TM Buffer was used to adjust the cell concentration to 1 x 10 8 / mL. Add 100 μL of biotin-antibody cocktail. Mix well and incubate on ice for 15 minutes. Resuspend the beads by vortexing at maximum speed, touching down 5 times. Add 10 μL of streptavidin nanobeads. Mix well and incubate on ice for 15 minutes. Add 2.5 mL of MojoSort TM buffer and place the tube in the magnet for 5 min.
[0197] Pour off and collect the liquid, and adjust the cell concentration to 3 × 10 6 / mL.
[0198] (1) Protein sample preparation: Each protein sample was set to a maximum concentration of 200 nmol / L according to the equimolar mass (the protein sample after enzyme digestion was still calculated according to the original molar mass), and then diluted 10-fold in a gradient and mixed thoroughly with a pipette.
[0199] (2) Incubation of cells and protein samples: Add 100 μL of the prepared cell suspension to each well of a round-bottom 96-well plate, i.e., 3×10 5 After centrifugation at 1600 rpm for 5 minutes, discard the supernatant, resuspend the cells with the prepared protein sample, make duplicate wells, and incubate at 4°C in the dark for 30 minutes.
[0200] (3) Commercial fluorescent antibody-labeled protein sample: Add 150 μL FACS buffer to a 96-well plate, mix thoroughly, and centrifuge at 1600 rpm for 5 minutes. Discard the supernatant and repeat twice. Add 0.5 μL of commercial anti-human Fc-APC / PE per well (0.5 μL antibody is added to 50 μL FACS and mixed thoroughly). Incubate at 4°C in the dark for 30 minutes.
[0201] (4) Flow cytometry: Add 150 μL of FACS buffer to each well, mix thoroughly, centrifuge at 1000 rpm for 5 minutes, discard the supernatant, and repeat twice. Resuspend the cells in 150-200 μL of FACS buffer and transfer to the flow cytometer.
[0202] (5) To detect T cell activation in vitro, purified human PBMCs were resuspended in culture medium (RPMI1640 with 10% FBS and supplemented with 1% P / S and 1% glutamine) (Thermo Fisher Scientific) to adjust the concentration to 5×10 6 / mL. 100uL was added to each well of a round-bottom 96-well plate.
[0203] (6) Prepare protein samples of different concentrations and whether they were cleaved or not using RPMI1640 as described in 2.2. Add the prepared protein samples to each well in turn and repeat the wells. Incubate in a tissue culture incubator for 48 hours.
[0204] (7) After incubation, the cells were centrifuged at 1600 rpm for 5 minutes, and the supernatant was collected for measurement of cytokine release or discarded. The cells were stained with fluorescently labeled antibodies for T cell markers (CD3, CD4, CD8, etc.) and activation markers (CD69, CD25, etc.), detected by flow cytometry, and then analyzed using FlowJo software (FlowJo v10) and plotted as shown in Figure 8. The results in Figure 8 show that after in vitro enzyme cleavage (+MMP14), the biological activity of the fusion protein CD3 antibody in the structure of PDL1×CLDN-MMP(double)-CD3(UCHT1) shown in Figure 2D can be well restored, and can be restored to the effect of PDL1×CD3(UCHT1) shown in the structure of Figure 1A (Figure 8). The above results indicate that the activity of CD3 in the antibody prodrug can be well blocked by anti-CLDN18.2, and its activity on T cells can be effectively restored after MMP cleavage.
[0205] Example 3. BiTE prodrugs exhibit better anti-tumor effects than BiTEs
[0206] To determine whether the TAA×TAA / targeting peptide-CD3 (i.e., bispecific antibody prodrug) we designed and produced can effectively fight tumors when administered systemically and to compare its therapeutic effect with that of traditional bispecific antibodies, we inoculated MC38-CLDN (MC38 cells overexpressing Claudin 18.2) into hCD3 humanized mice (hCD3EDG) and treated the mice with a lower dose by systemic administration.
[0207] hCD3EDG mice (n=5 / group) were subcutaneously inoculated with 1×10 6 MC38-CLDN cells. On day 11, the tumor grew to 80-120 mm 3The mice were randomly divided into groups and administered with PBS at 200 pmol / mouse on days 11 and 14. The mice were treated with PDL1×CD3(UCHT1) (non-targeted) as shown in FIG2A , PDL1×CLDN-MMP(double)-CD3(UCHT1) (targetable to the tumor microenvironment, non-targeted after MMP cleavage) as shown in FIG2D , CLDN×CD3(UCHT1) as shown in FIG1A , and CLDN×CLDN-MMP(double)-CD3(UCHT1) as shown in FIG1D . The tumor volumes of the tumor-bearing mice were recorded.
[0208] The experimental results are shown in Figure 9: The CLDN×CD3 group was able to inhibit tumor growth, but only 40% of the mice experienced tumor volume reduction and rapid rebound. The CLDN×CLDN-MMP(double)-CD3 group observed significant anti-tumor activity, with tumor volume reduction in 80% of the mice and complete tumor regression in 10% of the mice, but rebound also occurred later. Under low-dose treatment, the anti-tumor activity of the CLDN×CLDN-MMP(double)-CD3 group was significantly superior to the CLDN×CD3 group, and no significant weight loss was observed in any treatment group. This result indicates that CLDN×CLDN-MMP(double)-CD3 can effectively eliminate tumors and has a better tumor clearance effect than traditional bispecific antibodies.
[0209] Example 4. BiTE prodrugs exhibit lower peripheral toxicity than BiTEs
[0210] Because human CD3 KI mice are less susceptible to peripheral toxicity, we used hPBMC-humanized (hu-PBMC) NSG mice as an in vivo mouse model. These mice were generated by infusion of purified human PBMCs from healthy donors, and using adult human peripheral blood mononuclear cells has the fastest engraftment rate and enables short-term studies of robust effector and memory T cell function.
[0211] We selected A549 cells overexpressing human CLDN18.2 protein (P56856) by lentiviral infection as the tumor model for this study and inoculated 1*10 6A549-CLDN cells were grown, which was counted as day 0. When the tumor grew to day 22, PBMCs were transplanted by tail vein injection. Two days later, the mice were randomly divided into groups and intraperitoneally injected with 100pnol of PDL1 x CD3 (PDL1×CD3(OKT3)[anti-PDL1 single-chain(VL-VH)and CD3 single-chain(VL-VH)]), PDL1 x CLDN-CD3 (PDL1×CLDN-MMP(double)-CD3(OKT3)[anti-PDL1 single-chain(VL-VH)and CD3 single-chain(VL-VH)]). After 24 hours, venous blood was collected from the tail tip of the mice and allowed to stand until the serum on it precipitated. The blood was centrifuged at 10,000 rpm for 10 minutes, and the clear serum was transferred to a new EP tube. The blood was then purified using BD Fermentation Immunoprecipitation. TM The Cytometric Bead Array (CBA) Mouse Inflammation Kit (BD Biosciences) was used to detect the levels of inflammatory cytokines in serum, and the data were analyzed using a flow cytometry system and BD CBA analysis software. The results, as shown in Figure 10, show that compared with the PBS control group, the PDL1×CD3(OKT3) construct shown in Figure 2A showed high levels of cytokine expression in peripheral serum, while the PDL1×CLDN-MMP(double)-CD3(OKT3) construct shown in Figure 2D showed a significant decrease in cytokine expression in peripheral serum, indicating that PDL1×CLDN-MMP(double)-CD3(OKT3) has lower peripheral toxicity.
[0212] Example 5. Activity of BiTE prodrugs can be restored after enzymatic cleavage
[0213] OKT3 (SEQ ID NO: 16) and UCHT1 (SEQ ID NO: 15) are widely used monoclonal antibodies against CD3. In the structure of the bispecific antibody prodrug, we also used OKT3 as the core. According to the method of Example 1, we gene synthesized and produced the PDL1×CLDN-MMP(double)-CD3 (PDL1×CLDN-MMP(double)-CD3(OKT3)[anti-PDL1 single-chain(VL-VH)and CD3 single-chain(VL-VH)]) and PDL1×NGR-HA-MMP(double)-CD3 (PDL1×NGR-HA-MMP(double)-CD3(OKT3)[anti-PDL1 single-chain(VL-VH)and CD3 single-chain(VL-VH)]) proteins respectively.
[0214] First, the cleavage activity of the two proteins was tested in vitro by repeating the MMP enzymatic cleavage method 2.2 of Example 2. The results are shown in Figure 11. SDS PAGE results showed that both prodrug forms could be completely cleaved, Figure 11A (PDL1×CLDN-MMP(double)-CD3) and Figure 11B (PDL1×NGR-HA-MMP(double)-CD3).
[0215] By repeating the in vitro PBMC activation experiment 2.3 after enzymatic cleavage of Example 2, it can be seen that both the antibody prodrug of the double antibody obtained by using the antibody against the tumor surface specific antigen (Figure 12A, PDL1×CLDN-MMP(double)-CD3) and the targeting peptide (Figure 12B, PDL1×NGR-HA-MMP(double)-CD3) can effectively reduce the activity of CD3, and the activity of CD3 is partially restored after enzymatic cleavage.

[0217] 7.1 Detection of the Binding Ability of Bispecific Antibody Prodrugs to the Antigen hCD3
[0218] According to the structure shown in FIG13 , taking CLDN x CLDN-MMP (cleavable linker)-CD3 (SP34) as an example, the sequence combination is as follows:
[0219] VH 8aa VL 6aa: SEQ ID NOs: 22, 119 and 127.

[0223] PC: SEQ ID NO: 22, 136 and 137.
[0224] As described in Example 2.1, the target cells were spleen cells from hCD3 KI mice. Figure 14A shows that different prodrug molecules showed little binding to hCD3 KI mouse spleen cells without MMP cleavage. As described in Example 2.2, using the MMP cleavage method, Figure 14B shows that different prodrug molecules recovered different lengths of MMP (cleavable linker) proteins after MMP cleavage to varying degrees.
[0225] 7.2 Effects of Bispecific Antibody Prodrugs on T Cell Function (Activation Markers)
[0226] As described in Example 2.3, the bispecific antibody used in FIG15A is the CLDN x CLDN-MMP (cleavable linker)-CD3 (SP34) structure shown in FIG14A , and the sequence combination is as follows:
[0227] PC: SEQ ID NO: 22, 136 and 137

[0233] After co-culture of SNU1-CLDN cells (SNU1 cells (from ATCC) overexpressing Claudin18.2) and PBMC for 24 hours, the proportion of cells positive for T cell surface activation markers CD25 and CD69 was detected. The results showed that the shorter the linker, the weaker the activation.
[0234] As described in Example 2.3, the bispecific antibody used in FIG15B is the CLDN x CLDN-MMP (cleavable linker)-CD3 (UCHT1) structure shown in FIG14A , and the sequence combination is as follows:
[0235] PC: SEQ ID NO: 22, 138 and 139
[0236] VH 10aa VL 10aa: SEQ ID NO: 22, 131 and 132
[0237] After co-culture of SNU1-CLDN cells and PBMCs for 24 hours, the proportion of cells positive for T cell surface activation markers CD25 and CD69 was detected. The results showed that the T cell activation ability of the bispecific antibody could be completely restored after MMP enzymatic cleavage.

[0246] To determine whether systemic administration can effectively fight tumors while reducing peripheral toxicity, Figure 16A shows the process of tumor inoculation and treatment. MC38-CLDN (MC38 cells overexpressing Claudin18.2) was inoculated into hCD3 humanized mice (hCD3EDG) and treated with a lower dose via systemic administration. The experimental results are shown in Figure 16B:
[0247] hCD3EDG mice (n=5 / group) were subcutaneously inoculated with 1×10 6 MC38-CLDN cells. On day 14, the tumor grew to 240 mm 3 The mice were randomly divided into groups at 40 days of age. On day 14, the mice were administered at an equimolar mass of 100 pmol / mouse. The calculated protein was dissolved in 200 ul of PBS and then intraperitoneally injected. The PBS control group and several groups of proteins with different linkers were treated. The length (a), width (b), and height (c) of the tumor were measured using a vernier caliper. The mouse tumor volume = a×b×c / 2. The tumor size was measured twice a week, and the mouse tumor growth curve was recorded. The tumor growth curve showed that the anti-tumor effect was weaker when the intermediate linker was non-cleavable, but the anti-tumor effect was stronger when the intermediate linker was cleavable (Figure 16B).
[0248] We collected peripheral blood 24 hours after intraperitoneal injection and measured serum IFN-γ levels. The results showed that the bispecific antibody prodrug significantly reduced peripheral toxicity, and shorter linkers had lower peripheral toxicity (Figure 16C). Combining peripheral toxicity with tumor efficacy, we found that shorter, cleavable linkers had lower peripheral toxicity and better anti-tumor efficacy.
