Description
Antibody drug conjugates against CDH17 and uses thereof
[0001] This international patent application claims priority to Chinese patent application No. 202410636042.8, filed May 21, 2024, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference for all purposes. TECHNICAL FIELD
[0002] The present invention relates to antibody drug conjugates against CDH17 and uses thereof, in particular in the treatment of cancer. BACKGROUND
[0003] Cadherin-17 (CDH17) is a new member of the cadherin family, which was first identified from a mouse liver cell cDNA library. It was named Liver-Intestine cadherin (LI-cadherin) because it was expressed only in the liver and small intestine of mice (Berndorff, D. et. al., 1994, Journal of Cell Biology, 125, 1353-1369). Recent studies have shown that it plays an important role in the invasion and metastasis of various tumors.
[0004] The human CDH17 gene is located on chromosome 8q22.1, which encodes a protein belonging to the 7D-cadherin family. CDH17 is often expressed in embryonic, adult intestinal epithelial cells and some pancreatic duct epithelial cells, but there is almost no significant expression in hepatocytes, esophageal epithelial cells and gastric mucosa in healthy people (Gul, I. S. et. al., 2017, Experimental Cell Research, 358, 3-9). Its structure has some homology with classic cadherins, but CDH17 has its unique structure: first, the extracellular region of CDH17 is composed of 7 repeat sequences, which is different from the 5 of non-classical cadherins; secondly, in the EC1 cell adhesion recognition region of the extracellular region, CDH17 contains a segment of AAL sequence instead of the corresponding HAV sequence of classic cadherins; thirdly, the cytoplasmic tail of CDH17 has only 20 amino acid residues, while the cytoplasmic tail of classic cadherins has 150-160 amino acid residues. Studies have shown that structural abnormalities and functional disorders of cadherins are closely related to tumor invasion and metastasis (Pandil, China Medical Frontier, 2012, 7(8): 10-11). Because CDH17 has a short cytoplasmic tail domain, CDH17 cannot interact with the catenin network or the actin cytoskeleton (Kreft, B. et. al., 1997, Journal of Cell Biology, 136, 1109-1121). Therefore, CDH17 is classified as a variant of classic cadherins (Nollet, F. et. al., 2000, Journal of Molecular Biology, 299, 551-572).
[0005] Cadherins play a biological role by mediating calcium-dependent intercellular connections. The ligand of classic cadherins is calcium catenin, including α-chain protein, β-chain protein, γ-chain protein and P120 protein. Cadherins interact with intracellular cytoskeleton through calcium catenin to regulate intercellular adhesion function. CDH17, as a functional Ca 2+Dependent cell adhesion molecules play a role, but CDH17 does not function through tight junctions with the intracellular calpain way of the cell scaffold myosin, but through direct connection with the cell scaffold for its cell adhesion (Marshall, J. F., 2018, Clinical Cancer Research, 24, 253-255). At the same time, studies have found that the expression of CDH17 is an independent prognostic predictor of patient survival (Lee, H. J. et. al., 2010, Gastroenterology, 139, 213-25.e3). The expression of CDH17 has an impact on the prognosis of patients with lymph node-negative gastric cancer, which may reflect the role of the protein in maintaining polarity and normal intercellular adhesion.
[0006] Gastric cancer is one of the more common malignant tumors of the digestive system, with a high incidence and mortality rate (Zuo Tingting et al., China's epidemiology of gastric cancer status [J]. Chinese Journal of Clinical Oncology, 2017, 44(1): 52-58), invasion and metastasis of tumor cells is one of the main reasons for poor prognosis of patients. The decrease in cell adhesion mediated by some adhesion molecules in gastric cancer is a crucial factor in the occurrence of invasion and metastasis. Clinical case data studies have shown that there is an abnormal splice variant of CDH17 in gastric cancer, especially the expression of E-cadherin (CDH17) with exon 8 or exon 9 deletion is dominant in gastric cancer (Becker, K. F. et. al., 1993, Human Molecular Genetics, 2, 803-804). CDH17 has Ca 2+CDH17 has the ability to regulate homotypic cell adhesion and does not depend on cytoskeletal interactions, which indicates that CDH17 plays an important role in tumor metastasis (Ito, R. et. al., 2005, Virchows Archiv, 447, 717-722). CDH17 can serve as a more specific and sensitive marker for gastrointestinal tumors, and CDH17 can provide relevant diagnostic evidence as a marker for judging primary gastrointestinal tumors (Wong, B. W. et. al., 2003, Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 311, 618-624). At the same time, the high expression of CDH17 is closely related to the poor clinicopathological features of gastric cancer, such as positive correlation with histological stage, tumor infiltration and LN metastasis, so the high expression of CDH17 can be an important indicator for predicting the progression and prognosis of gastric cancer (Long, Z. W. et. al., 2015, World Journal of Gastroenterology, 21, 3694-3705; Park, S. S. et. al., 2007, Annals of Surgical Oncology, 14, 94-99; Li, R. et. al., 2017, International Journal of Oncology, 50, 15-22). Cell experiments and animal experiments show that knocking down CDH17 can lead to inactivation of the Wnt signaling pathway, thereby inhibiting the invasive activity of cancer cells (Liu, L. X. et. al, Hepatology, 2010, 51, 358). CDH17 can regulate the Wnt / β-catenin signaling pathway to affect downstream effectors, thereby affecting the proliferation, invasion and apoptosis of gastric cancer cells (Qu, L. P. et. al., 2017, European Review for Medical and Pharmacological Sciences, 21, 1234-1241). In addition, in vitro experimental studies have found that inhibition of CDH17 can reduce the proliferation of gastric cancer cell line MKN28 in vitro and increase its apoptosis, and significantly reduce its tumorigenicity in vivo. In summary, CDH17 is abnormally expressed in gastric cancer tissues and is related to the occurrence, development, invasion, metastasis and poor prognosis of gastric cancer.
[0007] Hepatocellular carcinoma is the most common among liver malignancies and the third most common cause of cancer-related death worldwide (Llovet, J.M. et. al., 2003, Lancet, 362, 1907-1917). CDH17 can be present in the fetal liver and gastrointestinal tract during embryogenesis, but the gene expression is silenced in healthy adult liver and gastric tissue (Lee, N.P. et. al., 2010, Biochimica et Biophysica Acta, 1806, 138-145). Overexpression of CDH17 can be detected in approximately 80% of patients in human hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines (Wang, X.Q. et. al., 2005, Clinical Cancer Research, 11, 483-489). Liu et al. confirmed that overexpression of CDH17 is closely related to advanced tumor stage and tumor infiltration by experimental analysis of 43 patients with liver cancer. Targeting CDH17 can inactivate the Wnt signaling pathway and activate tumor suppressor genes, thereby inhibiting hepatocellular carcinoma tumor growth (Wang, X.Q. et. al., 2005, Clinical Cancer Research, 11, 483-489). If CDH17 is experimentally treated using lentivirus carrying short hairpin RNA (shRNA) against CDH17 in nude mice bearing tumors, the growth of xenograft tumors can be inhibited. This fully demonstrates the possibility of targeting and inhibiting CDH17 in the clinical treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma. Wang et al. (Wang, Y. et. al., 2013, PLoS ONE, 8, e72386) treated hepatocellular carcinoma using a monoclonal antibody (Lic5) against CDH17 antigen, and the results showed that reducing the expression of CDH17 played an important role in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma. Targeting CDH17 antibodies can specifically inhibit CDH17, and then inhibit tumor growth by inactivating the Wnt / β-catenin pathway. This confirms that CDH17 can inhibit hepatocellular carcinoma by targeting the Wnt / β-catenin pathway (Qiu, H.B. et. al., 2019, PLoS ONE, 14, Article ID: e0217124). In summary, the expression of CDH17 in liver cancer plays a pro-tumor role and can be used as a target for the treatment of liver cancer.
[0008] Han et al. (Han, Z. et. al., 2017, Chinese Journal of Cellular and Molecular Immunology, 33, 606-610) found that CDH17 was highly expressed in colorectal cancer, and down-regulating the expression of CDH17 gene inhibited the invasion and metastasis of colon cancer cells. Studies have also shown that the expression level of CDH17 is an important prognostic predictor affecting the survival of colorectal cancer patients, and CDH17 has certain clinical application value, for example, as a molecular marker for disease stage classification and evaluation of treatment outcome of colorectal cancer (Kwak, J. M. et. al., 2007, Diseases of the Colon & Rectum, 50, 1873-1880). Studies have also shown that low expression of CDH17 is associated with tumor dedifferentiation, lymphatic vessel invasion, lymph node metastasis and advanced pTNM stage, and is considered an important prognostic factor for colorectal cancer (Ratto, C. et. al., 1998, Diseases of the Colon & Rectum, 41, 1033-1049). Through different cell system experimental observation and analysis, it was found that primary colorectal cancer with low expression of CDH17 might have stronger invasiveness (Takamura, M. et. al., 2004, Cancer Letters, 212, 253-259).
[0009] It has been shown that pancreas, as a component of the gastrointestinal tract, plays a role in the morphological organization of the liver and the intestine. Disruption of CDH17 expression or function also leads to increased tumor cell migration and hyperproliferation during the development of pancreatic tumors (Ivanov, D. B. et. al., 2001, Biochemistry (Moscow), 66, 1174-1186). Takamura et al. (Takamura, M. et. al., 2003, Cancer Science, 94, 425-430) detected strong expression of CDH17 in well-differentiated pancreatic cancer, but not in differentiated areas and poorly differentiated carcinomas. However, it has also been shown that CDH17 is essential for maintaining the tumorigenic activity of pancreatic cancer cells in vitro and for promoting tumor growth in vivo (Kleeff, J. et. al., 2016, Nature Reviews Disease Primers, 2, Article No. 16022). Liu et al. (Liu, X. et. al., 2019, Cancer Letters, 454, 204-214) used siRNA, shRNA, and CRISPR techniques to knock out CDH17 and established the corresponding stable cell lines. Loss-of-function studies were also performed to comprehensively study the potential mechanisms of CDH17 in regulating the occurrence and development of pancreatic cancer. The results obtained from in vitro and in vivo experiments showed that CDH17, as a pro-oncogene, can promote the occurrence and development of pancreatic cancer by regulating cell proliferation and apoptosis signaling pathways.
[0010] The current research results show that CDH17 is closely related to the occurrence of various tumors, and the development of an antibody-drug conjugate targeting CDH17 to kill tumor cells is a possible means of treating cancer. SUMMARY

[0076] Other Definitions
[0077] As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Thus, for example, reference to “an antibody drug conjugate” includes a plurality of antibody drug conjugates and reference to “an antibody drug conjugate” in some embodiments includes a plurality of antibody drug conjugates, and so forth.
[0078] The term “comprising” and variations thereof as used herein are intended to encompass the presence of stated elements or steps and / or groups of elements or steps, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other elements or steps or groups of elements or steps, unless otherwise stated or indicated by context.
[0079] As used herein, the term “antibody” refers to an immunoglobulin molecule having the ability to specifically bind to a particular antigen. Such molecules are typically comprised of two heavy (H) chains and two light (L) chains interconnected by disulfide bonds. Each heavy chain is comprised of a heavy chain variable region (or domain) (abbreviated herein as VH) and a heavy chain constant region. The heavy chain constant region is comprised of three domains, CH1, CH2 and CH3. Each light chain is comprised of a light chain variable region (or domain) (abbreviated herein as VL) and a light chain constant region. The light chain constant region is comprised of one domain, CL. The variable regions of the antibody heavy and light chains contain the binding domain that interacts with an antigen. The constant regions of the antibodies can mediate the binding of the immunoglobulin to host tissues or factors, including various cells of the immune system (such as effector cells) and components of the complement system such as Clq (the first component in the classical pathway of complement activation).
[0080] The heavy chain of an immunoglobulin can be divided into three functional regions: an Fd region, a hinge region, and an Fc region (fragment crystallizable). The Fd region comprises the VH and CHI domains and, in combination with the light chain, forms the Fab (antigen-binding fragment). The Fc fragment is responsible for the effector functions of the immunoglobulin, including, for example, complement fixation and binding to cognate Fc receptors on effector cells. The hinge region, found in IgG, IgA, and IgD immunoglobulin classes, acts as a flexible spacer, allowing the Fab portions to move freely in space relative to the Fc region. The hinge domain is structurally diverse, differing in sequence and length between immunoglobulin classes and subclasses.
[0081] According to crystallographic studies, the immunoglobulin hinge region can be further subdivided into three regions structurally and functionally: the upper hinge, the core hinge, and the lower hinge. The upper hinge includes amino acids from the carboxy-terminal end of CHI to the first residue in the hinge that restricts movement, typically the first cysteine residue that forms an interchain disulfide bond between the two heavy chains. The length of the upper hinge region is related to the flexibility of the fragment of the antibody. The core hinge region contains the inter-heavy chain disulfide bonds. The lower hinge region connects the amino-terminal end of the CH2 domain and includes residues in the CH2 domain. Structural and flexibility-allowed conformational changes in the immunoglobulin hinge region polypeptide sequence can influence the effector functions of the Fc portion of the antibody.
[0082] A "light chain variable region" (VL) or "heavy chain variable region" (VH) is composed of "framework" regions separated by three "complementarity determining regions" or "CDRs." The framework regions serve to align the CDRs that specifically bind to an epitope of an antigen. The CDRs include the amino acid residues in the antibody that are primarily responsible for antigen binding. Both the VL and VH domains comprise, from amino-terminus to carboxy-terminus, the following framework (FR) and CDR regions: FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, and FR4. CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3 of a VL domain are also referred to herein as LCDR1, LCDR2, and LCDR3, respectively; and CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3 of a VH domain are also referred to herein as HCDR1, HCDR2, and HCDR3, respectively.
[0083] The amino acid arrangement of each VL domain and VH domain is consistent with any conventional definition of CDRs. Conventional definitions include the Kabat definition (Kabat, Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, 1987 and 1991), the Chothia definition (Chothia and Lesk, J. Mol. Biol. 196:901-917, 1987; Chothia et al., Nature 342:878-883, 1989); a composite of Chothia and Kabat CDRs, in which CDR-H1 is a composite of Chothia and Kabat CDRs; the AbM definition used by Oxford Molecular's antibody modeling software; and the CONTACT definition of Martin et al. (world wide web bioinfo.org.uk / abs). Kabat provides a widely used numbering convention (the Kabat numbering system) in which corresponding residues between different heavy chains or between different light chains are given the same number. The present disclosure can use CDRs defined according to any of these numbering systems, but preferred embodiments use CDRs defined according to the Kabat definition.
[0084] Based on the amino acid sequences of the constant regions of the heavy chains of the antibodies, immunoglobulin molecules can be assigned to five classes (isotypes): IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM, and can be further divided into subclasses, such as IgGl, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgAl, IgA2, and the like. Based on the amino acid sequences of the light chains, the light chains of the antibodies can be assigned to lambda (l) chains and kappa (K) chains.
[0085] As used herein, the term "antibody" shall be construed in its broadest sense and includes monoclonal antibodies (including full-length monoclonal antibodies), antibody fragments, and multi-specific antibodies (e.g., bi-specific antibodies) containing at least two antigen binding regions. Antibodies can contain additional modifications, such as non-naturally occurring amino acids, mutations in the Fc region, and mutations in glycosylation sites. Antibodies also include post-translationally modified antibodies, fusion proteins containing an antigenic determinant of an antibody, and immunoglobulin molecules containing any other modification to the antigen recognition site, so long as the antibodies exhibit the desired biological activity.
[0086] As used herein, the term "monoclonal antibody" refers to an antibody obtained from a population of substantially homogeneous antibodies. That is, each antibody in the population is identical except for possible naturally occurring mutations that can be present. Monoclonal antibodies are highly specific, being directed against a single antigen. The term "monoclonal antibody" herein is not limited to antibodies produced through hybridoma technology, nor is it intended to be limited to antibodies produced in any particular manner.
[0087] The term "bispecific antibody" is understood in the context of the present application as an antibody having two different antigen binding regions defined by different antibody sequences. This can be understood as binding to different targets, but also includes binding to different epitopes of one target. The term "bispecific antibody" as used herein is to be understood in its broadest sense, including full-length bispecific antibodies and antigen binding fragments thereof. Bispecific antibodies can contain additional modifications, such as non-naturally occurring amino acids, mutations in the Fc region, and mutations of glycosylation sites. Bispecific antibodies also include post-translationally modified antibodies, fusion proteins containing an antigenic determinant of an antibody, and immunoglobulin molecules containing any other modification of the antigen recognition site, as long as these antibodies exhibit the desired biological activity.
[0088] The term "chimeric antibody" generally refers to an antibody in which the variable region is derived from one species and the constant region is derived from another species. Typically, the variable region is derived from an antibody of an experimental animal such as a rodent ("parental antibody") and the constant region is derived from a human antibody, such that the resulting chimeric antibody elicits a reduced likelihood of adverse immune reactions in a human individual as compared to the parental (e.g., mouse-derived) antibody.
[0089] The term "humanized antibody" generally refers to an antibody in which some or all of the amino acids outside the CDR regions of a non-human antibody (e.g., murine antibody) are replaced with corresponding amino acids from a human immunoglobulin. Small additions, deletions, insertions, substitutions or modifications of amino acids in the CDR regions can also be allowed, as long as they retain the ability of the antibody to bind to a particular antigen. A "humanized antibody" retains antigenic specificity similar to that of the original antibody. "Humanized" forms of non-human (e.g., murine) antibodies can minimally contain a chimeric antibody having sequences derived from non-human immunoglobulin. In some cases, CDR region residues in the human immunoglobulin (recipient antibody) are replaced by CDR region residues of a non-human species (donor antibody) such as mouse, rat, rabbit, or non-human primate that have the desired properties, affinities, and / or capabilities. In some cases, FR region residues of the human immunoglobulin are replaced by corresponding non-human residues. Furthermore, a humanized antibody can contain amino acid modifications not found in the recipient antibody or in the donor antibody. These modifications can be made to further improve antibody performance, such as binding affinity.
[0090] As used herein, the term "antigen-binding fragment" of an antibody refers to one or more fragments of an antibody that retain the ability to specifically bind to an antigen. It has been shown that the antigen binding function of an antibody can be performed by fragments of a full-length antibody.
[0091] Examples of antigen-binding fragments encompassed within the term "antigen-binding portion" of an antibody include (i) a Fab fragment, a monovalent fragment consisting of the VL, VH, CL, and CH1 domains; (ii) a F(ab')2 fragment, a bivalent fragment comprising two Fab fragments linked by a disulfide bridge at the hinge region; (iii) a Fab' fragment, which is simply a Fab with part of the hinge region; (iv) a Fd fragment consisting of the VH and CH1 domains; (v) a Fd' fragment having VH and CH1 domains and one or more cysteine residues at the C-terminus of the CH1 domain; (vi) a Fv fragment consisting of the VL and VH domains of a single arm of an antibody; (vii) a dAb fragment, which consists of a VH domain; (viii) an isolated complementarity determining region (CDR); and (ix) a nanobody, a heavy chain variable region containing a single variable domain and two constant domains. Furthermore, although the two domains of the Fv fragment, VL and VH, are coded for by separate genes, they can be joined, using recombinant methods, by a synthetic linker that enables them to be made as a single protein chain in which the VL and VH regions pair to form monovalent molecules (known as single chain Fv (scFv)). Such single chain antibodies are also intended to be encompassed within the term "antigen-binding portion" of an antibody. Furthermore, this term also includes "linear antibodies", which comprise a pair of tandem Fd segments (VH-CH1-VH-CH1) which, together with complementary light chain polypeptides, form the antigen binding region, as well as modified forms of any of the foregoing fragments that retain antigen binding
[0092] These antigen-binding fragments can be obtained using conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art, and the utility of the fragments is screened in the same manner as for whole antibodies.
[0093] As used herein, the term "binds" or "binds specifically" refers to a non-random binding reaction between two molecules, such as an antibody and its target antigen. The binding specificity of an antibody can be determined based on affinity and / or avidity. Affinity represents the equilibrium constant for dissociation of an antigen from an antibody (KD), a measure of the strength of binding between an antigenic determinant and an antigen binding site of an antibody: the smaller the value of KD, the stronger the binding strength between the antigenic determinant and the antibody. Alternatively, affinity can also be expressed as the affinity constant (KA), which is 1 / KD.
[0094] Affinity is a measure of the strength of binding between an antibody and the associated antigen. Affinity involves both the avidity between the antigenic determinant and the antigen binding site of the antibody and the number of associated binding sites present on the antibody. Typically, an antibody will bind an antigen with a dissociation constant (KD) of 10 -5 M to 10 -12 M or less, and preferably 10 -7 M to 10 -12 M or less, and more preferably 10 -8 M to 10 -12 M, and / or has a binding affinity of at least 10 7 M -1 , preferably at least 10 8 M -1 , more preferably at least 10 9 M -1 , such as at least 10 12 M -1 . It is generally accepted that any K -4 M value greater than 10 D M indicates non-specific binding. Specific binding of an antibody to an antigen or antigenic determinant can be determined in any known suitable manner, including, for example, Scatchard analysis and / or competitive binding assays, such as radioimmunoassays (RIA), enzyme immunoassays (EIA) and sandwich competition assays, and different variations thereof known in the art.
[0095] The term "epitope" refers to a site on an antigen to which an antibody binds. Epitopes can be formed both from contiguous amino acids or noncontiguous amino acids juxtaposed as a result of protein folding. Epitopes formed from contiguous amino acids (also known as linear epitopes) are generally retained upon exposure to denaturing solvents, whereas epitopes formed by tertiary folding (also known as conformational epitopes) are generally lost upon treatment with denaturing solvents. Epitopes usually include at least 3, and more usually at least 5 or 8-10 amino acids in a unique spatial conformation. Epitopes define the minimal binding site of an antibody and are therefore the specific targets of an antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof.
[0096] As used herein, the term "sequence identity" refers to the extent to which two sequences (amino acid) have identical residues in the same positions when aligned. For example, "an amino acid sequence is X% identical to SEQ ID NO: Y" means that the amino acid sequence has X% identity to SEQ ID NO: Y and is set forth as X% of the residues in the amino acid sequence being identical to the residues of the sequence disclosed in SEQ ID NO: Y. Typically, such calculations are performed using a computer program. Exemplary programs for comparing and aligning pairs of sequences include ALIGN, FASTA, gapped BLAST, BLASTP, BLASTN, or GCG.
[0097] Furthermore, in determining the extent of sequence identity between two amino acid sequences, the skilled person can take into account so-called "conservative" amino acid substitutions, which can generally be described as amino acid substitutions in which an amino acid residue is replaced with another amino acid residue having a similar chemical structure that has little or substantially no effect on the function, activity or other biological property of the polypeptide. Such conservative amino acid substitutions are well known in the art.
[0098] Such conservative substitutions are preferably substitutions in which one amino acid is replaced with another amino acid residue in the same group (a) to (e) as follows: (a) small aliphatic, non-polar or weakly polar residues: Ala, Ser, Thr, Pro and Gly; (b) polar, negatively charged residues and their (uncharged) amides: Asp, Asn, Glu and Gin; (c) polar, positively charged residues: His, Arg and Lys; (d) large aliphatic, non-polar residues: Met, Leu, lie, Val and Cys; and (e) aromatic residues: Phe, Tyr and Trp.
[0099] Particularly preferred conservative substitutions are as follows: Ala to Gly or to Ser; Arg to Lys; Asn to Gin or to His; Asp to Glu; Cys to Ser; Gin to Asn; Glu to Asp; Gly to Ala or to Pro; His to Asn or to Gin; lie to Leu or to Val; Leu to lie or to Val; Lys to Arg, to Gin or to Glu; Met to Leu, to Tyr or to lie; Phe to Met, to Leu or to Tyr; Ser to Thr; Thr to Ser; Trp to Tyr; Tyr to Trp; and / or Phe to Val, to lie or to Leu.
[0100] As used herein, unless otherwise indicated, a bivalent structure can be attached to the remainder of the compound in either direction, left to right or right to left. In one embodiment, the bivalent structure is preferably attached to the remainder of the compound in the left to right orientation.
[0101] The term "amino acid residue" means includes any natural or synthetic amino acid residue, not limited to amino acid residues in the group consisting of the 20 naturally occurring amino acids, wherein residue refers to the moiety remaining after removal of water from an amino acid linked by a peptide bond. The 20 naturally occurring amino acid residues are selected from the group consisting of alanine (Ala or A), cysteine (Cys or C), aspartic acid (Asp or D), glutamic acid (Glu or E), phenylalanine (Phe or F), glycine (Gly or G), histidine (His or H), isoleucine (lie or I), lysine (Lys or K), leucine (Leu or L), methionine (Met or M), asparagine (Asn or N), proline (Pro or P), glutamine (Gin or Q), arginine (Arg or R), serine (Ser or S), threonine (Thr or T), valine (Val or V), tryptophan (Trp or W), and tyrosine (Tyr or Y) residues.
[0102] The term "antibody conjugate" generally refers to an antibody linked to another chemical moiety. The chemical moiety can be a cytotoxic drug, an immunostimulatory molecule, and a detectable label. The drug can be, for example, a microtubule inhibitor, an antibiotic, a DNA synthesis inhibitor, a topoisomerase inhibitor, an RNA polymerase II inhibitor, and an RNA spliceosome inhibitor. The terms "antibody-drug conjugate," "antibody conjugate," and "ADC" can be used interchangeably.
[0103] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable" means that which the carrier or excipient is compatible with the other ingredients of the composition and not deleterious to the recipient thereof, and / or such carrier or excipient is approved or can be used in a pharmaceutical composition intended for parenteral administration to humans.
[0104] As used herein, the terms "treat," "treatment," "therapy," and the like, refer to the application of an agent or performance of a procedure for the purpose of effecting an outcome. The outcomes can be prophylactic, in terms of completely or partially preventing a disease or symptom thereof, and / or therapeutic, in terms of partially or completely curing a disease and / or symptoms of a disease. As used herein, "treatment" can include treatment of a disease or condition (e.g., an inflammatory disease) in a mammal, particularly in a human, and includes: (a) preventing the disease or symptom of the disease from occurring in an individual which can be predisposed to the disease but has not yet been diagnosed as having it; (b) inhibiting the disease, i.e., arresting its development; and (c) relieving the disease, i.e., causing regression of the disease. Treatment can refer to any successful indication in the treatment or amelioration or prevention of cancer, including any objective or subjective parameter, such as reduction of symptoms; alleviation of disease symptoms or making the disease condition more tolerable to the patient; slowing in rate of disease progression or degeneration; or improving quality of life. Treatment or amelioration of symptoms is based on one or more objective or subjective parameters; including physician-based measures. Thus, the term "treatment" includes the administration of an antibody or composition or conjugate disclosed herein to prevent or delay, alleviate or ameliorate a symptom or condition associated with a disease (e.g., an inflammatory disease). The term "therapeutic effect" refers to the reduction, elimination or prevention of a disease, a symptom of a disease or a side effect of a disease in a subject.
[0105] As used herein, the term "effective amount" refers to an amount of a drug administered to a subject to treat a disease sufficient to effect treatment of the disease.
[0106] As used herein, the term "subject" refers to any mammalian subject in which diagnosis, treatment or therapy is desired. "Mammalian" for purposes of treatment refers to any animal classified as a mammal, including humans, domestic and farm animals, and laboratory and sport or pet animals, such as dogs, horses, cats, cows, sheep, goats, pigs, mice, rats, rabbits, guinea pigs, monkeys, etc.
[0107] "Stereoisomers" refer to compounds which have the same chemical constitution, but differ in the arrangement of atoms or groups in space. Stereoisomers include enantiomers, diastereomers, conformational isomers (rotamers), geometric isomers (cis / trans), atropisomers, and the like.
[0108] "Chiral" refers to a molecule which has the property of non-superimposability with its mirror image; while "achiral" refers to a molecule which is superimposable with its mirror image.
[0109] "Enantiomers" refer to two isomers of a compound which are nonsuperimposable mirror images of one another.
[0110] "Diastereomers" refers to two or more stereoisomers of a compound which are not mirror images of one another and which have different physical properties. Mixtures of diastereomers can be separated by high resolution analytical procedures such as electrophoresis and chromatography, e.g., HPLC.
[0111] The stereochemical definitions and rules as used herein generally follow S. P. Parker, Ed., McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Chemical Terms (1984) McGraw-Hill Book Company, New York; and Eliel, E. and Wilen, S., "Stereochemistry of Organic Compounds", John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York, 1994.
[0112] Many organic compounds exist in optically active forms, i.e., they have the ability to rotate the plane of plane-polarized light. In describing an optically active compound, the prefixes D and L or R and S are used to denote the absolute configuration of the molecule about its chiral center(s). The prefixes d and 1 or (+) and (-) are employed to designate the sign of the rotation of plane-polarized light by the compound; (-) or 1 meaning that the compound is levorotatory. A compound, which is (+) or d is dextrorotatory. A particular stereoisomer is an enantiomer, and a mixture of such isomers is called an enantiomeric mixture. A 50:50 mixture of enantiomers is referred to as a racemic mixture or racemate.
[0113] Any asymmetric atom (e.g., carbon, etc.) of a compound disclosed herein can exist in the racemic or enantiomeric enriched form, e.g., the (R)-, (S)-, or (R,S)-configurational form. In certain embodiments, each asymmetric atom is in at least a 50% enantiomeric excess of the (R)- or (S)- configuration, at least a 60% enantiomeric excess, at least a 70% enantiomeric excess, at least an 80% enantiomeric excess, at least a 90% enantiomeric excess, at least a 95% enantiomeric excess, or at least a 99% enantiomeric excess.
[0114] Depending on the choice of starting materials and methods, the compounds of the application can be present in the form of one or more of possible isomers, such as racemates and mixtures of diastereomers, depending on the number of asymmetric carbon atoms. The optically active (R)- or (S)-isomers can be prepared using chiral synthons or chiral reagents, or by resolution of the racemic mixtures using conventional techniques. If the compounds contain a double bond, the substituents can be in the E or Z configuration; if the compounds contain a disubstituted cycloalkyl ring, the substituents on the cycloalkyl ring can be in the cis- or trans-configuration.
[0115] Any mixture of stereoisomers can be separated into the individual isomers by conventional techniques, such as HPLC or fractional crystallization, and any enantiomers can be converted into the individual isomers by the application of known techniques, such as those described in Jacques, et al., Enantiomers, Racemates and Resolutions (Wiley Interscience, New York, 1981); Principles of Asymmetric Synthesis (2nd Ed. Robert E. Gawley, Jeffrey Aubé, Elsevier, Oxford, UK, 2012); Eliel, E. L. Stereochemistry of Carbon Compounds (McGraw-Hill, NY, 1962); Wilen, S. H.

Ed., Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim, Germany, 2007).
[0116] Any racemate of an end product or intermediate can be separated by the application of known techniques, such as those described in Jacques, et al., Enantiomers, Racemates and Resolutions (Wiley Interscience, New York, 1981); Principles of Asymmetric Synthesis (2nd Ed. Robert E. Gawley, Jeffrey Aubé, Elsevier, Oxford, UK, 2012); Eliel, E. L. Stereochemistry of Carbon Compounds (McGraw-Hill, NY, 1962); Wilen, S. H. Tables of Resolving Agents and Optical Resolutions p. 268 (E. L. Eliel, Ed., Univ. of Notre Dame Press, Notre Dame, IN 1972); Chiral Separation Techniques: A Practical Approach (Subramanian, G. Ed., Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim, Germany, 2007).
[0117] The present application includes tautomers, which are isomers of a functional group resulting from the movement of a single atom between two positions in a molecule. A compound exists in different tautomeric forms, and one said compound is not limited to any particular tautomer, but is intended to encompass all tautomeric forms.
[0118] The compounds of the present application can include one or more asymmetric centers and can thus occur as individual enantiomers, diastereomers and / or geometric isomers, for example, as racemic mixtures, scalemic mixtures, or as individual non-racemic mixtures, and it is intended to embrace all such isomeric forms. The compounds of the present application can be separated into their individual enantiomers and / or geometric isomers by the application of well-known mass spectrometry, chiral column chromatography, chiral phase HPLC, and the like. The compounds of the present application can be prepared in and isolated as racemic, scalemic or non-racemic mixtures of enantiomers and / or geometric isomers, and all such isomeric forms are intended to be included within the scope of the present application. The compounds of the present application can be separated into their individual enantiomers and / or geometric isomers by the application of well-known mass spectrometry, chiral column chromatography, chiral phase HPLC, and the like. The compounds of the present application can be prepared in and isolated as racemic, scalemic or non-racemic mixtures of enantiomers and / or geometric isomers, and all such isomeric forms are intended to be included within the scope of the present application.
[0119] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that organic compounds can form complexes with solvents, often in the process of their formation or their recovery. These complexes are known as "solvates". When the solvent is water, the solvate is known as a "hydrate". The present application encompasses all solvates of the compounds of the present application.
[0120] The term "solvate" refers to a form of a compound or salt thereof in combination with a solvent, typically formed by a solvolysis reaction. This physical association can include hydrogen bonding. Conventional solvents include water, methanol, ethanol, acetic acid, DMSO, THF, diethyl ether and the like. The compounds described herein can be prepared, for example, in crystalline form, and can be solvated. Suitable solvates include pharmaceutically acceptable solvates and further include stoichiometric solvates and non-stoichiometric solvates. In some cases, the solvate will be capable of isolation, for example, when one or more solvent molecules are incorporated into the crystal lattice of the crystalline solid. "Solvate" includes both solution-phase solvates and isolatable solvates. Representative solvates include hydrates, ethanolates, and methanolates.
[0121] The term "hydrate" refers to a compound in combination with water. Typically, the number of water molecules in a hydrate of a compound is stoichiometrically defined. Thus, a hydrate of a compound can be represented, for example, by the general formula R x H2O, where R is the compound and x is a number greater than zero. A given compound can form more than one type of hydrate, including, for example, monohydrates (x is 1), lower hydrates (x is a number greater than zero and less than one, e.g., a hemihydrate (R 0.5 H2O)), and polyhydrates (x is a number greater than one, e.g., dihydrates (R 2 H2O) and hexahydrates (R 6 H2O)).
[0122] The compounds of this invention can be in amorphous or crystalline forms (polymorphs). Furthermore, the compounds of this invention can exist in one or more crystalline forms. Therefore, this invention encompasses all amorphous or crystalline forms of the compounds of this invention within its scope. The term "polymorph" refers to the crystalline form of a compound (or its salts, hydrates, or solvates) with a particular crystal packing arrangement. All polymorphs have the same elemental composition. Different crystalline forms typically have different X-ray diffraction patterns, infrared spectra, melting points, densities, hardness, crystal shapes, photoelectric properties, stability, and solubility. Recrystallization solvents, crystallization rates, storage temperatures, and other factors can lead to the dominance of one crystalline form. Various polymorphs of the compounds can be prepared by crystallization under different conditions.
[0123] The present invention also includes isotopically labeled compounds (isotopic variants) that are equivalent to those described in formula (I), but in which one or more atoms are replaced by atoms with atomic masses or mass numbers different from those commonly found in nature. Examples of isotopes that can be introduced into the compounds of the present invention include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, sulfur, fluorine, and chlorine, respectively, for example... 2 H, 3 H, 13 C 11 C 14 C 15 N、 18 O、 17 O、 31 P, 32 P, 35 S, 18 F and 36 Cl. Other isotopes of the present invention containing the aforementioned isotopes and / or other atoms, their prodrugs, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts of said compounds or said prodrugs are all within the scope of this invention. Certain isotope-labeled compounds of the present invention, for example, those incorporating radioactive isotopes (e.g.,...) 3 H and 14 Those in category C) can be used for drug and / or substrate tissue distribution determination. Tritium, i.e. 3 H and carbon-14, i.e. 14 Carbon isotopes are particularly preferred because they are easy to prepare and detect. Subsequently, they are replaced by heavier isotopes, such as deuterium, i.e., 2 H, because higher metabolic stability can provide therapeutic benefits, such as prolonged in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements, may be preferred in some cases. Isotope-labeled compounds of formula (I) of the present invention and their prodrugs can generally be prepared by using readily available isotope-labeled reagents instead of non-isotope-labeled reagents when performing the processes described below and / or the techniques disclosed in the examples and preparation examples.
[0124] As described in this invention, the compounds of this invention may optionally be substituted with one or more substituents, such as the general formula compounds above, or as the specific examples in the embodiments, and the class of compounds included in this invention.
[0125] "Pharmaceutical acceptable" means that, within the bounds of reliable medical judgment, it is suitable for contact with the tissues of humans and lower animals without excessive toxicity, irritation, allergic reactions, etc., and that the benefits / risks are proportionate to a reasonable ratio.
[0126] As used in this invention, "pharmaceutically acceptable salts" refers to the organic and inorganic salts of the compounds of this invention. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts are well-known in the field, as described in the literature: SMBerge et al., describe pharmaceutically acceptable salts in detail in J. Pharmaceutical Sciences, 1977, 66: 1-19. Salts formed from pharmaceutically acceptable non-toxic acids include, but are not limited to, inorganic acid salts formed by reactions with amino groups, such as hydrochlorides, hydrobromic acids, phosphates, sulfates, and perchlorates, and organic acid salts such as acetates, oxalates, maleates, tartrates, citrates, succinates, malonates, or these salts obtained by other methods described in the literature, such as ion exchange.

This invention also envisions the formation of quaternary ammonium salts from any compound containing an N-group. Water-soluble or oil-soluble or dispersed products can be obtained via quaternization. Alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salts include sodium, lithium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, etc. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts further include suitable, non-toxic ammonium, quaternary ammonium salts, and amine cations resistant to the formation of equilibrium ions, such as halides, hydroxides, carboxylates, sulfates, phosphates, nitrates, C1-8 sulfonates, and aromatic sulfonates.

[0187] In some embodiments, the antibody is a monoclonal antibody, a bispecific antibody, or a multispecific antibody. In some embodiments, the antibody is a bispecific antibody further comprising a second antigen binding region that binds to a second antigen. In some embodiments, the second antigen is a tumor associated antigen or an immune cell antigen.
[0188] A number of tumor associated antigens have been identified in the art that are associated with particular cancers. In some embodiments, a tumor associated antigen is an antigen that can elicit a significant tumor specific immune response. Some of these antigens are encoded by normal cells, but are not necessarily expressed by normal cells. These antigens can be characterized as antigens that are normally silent (i.e., not expressed) in normal cells, antigens that are expressed only at certain stages of differentiation, and antigens that are expressed over time such as embryonic and fetal antigens. Other cancer cell antigens are encoded by mutated cellular genes such as oncogenes (e.g., activated ras oncogenes), suppressor genes (e.g., P53 mutants), and fusion proteins resulting from internal deletions or chromosomal translocations. Still other cancer antigens can be encoded by viral genes such as those carried by RNA and DNA tumor viruses. Numerous other tumor associated antigens and antibodies against them are known and / or commercially available, and can also be prepared by those skilled in the art.
[0189] Examples of tumor associated antigens include, but are not limited to, 5T4, alphafetoprotein, CA-125, carcinoembryonic antigen, CD19, CD20, CD22, CD23, CD30, CD33, CD40, CD56, CD79, CD78, CD123, CD138, c-Met, CSPG4, IgM, AXL, EGFR, EGFRvIII, epithelial tumor antigen, ERBB2, FLT3, folate binding protein, GD2, GD3, HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein gp41, HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein gpl20, melanoma-associated antigen, MUC-1, mutated p53, mutated ras, ROR1, GPC3, VEGFR2, and combinations thereof.
[0190] In some embodiments, the second antigen is a T cell antigen. In some embodiments, the T cell antigen is selected from the group consisting of a T cell receptor (TCR), CD3, CD4, CD8, CD16, CD25, CD28, CD38, CD44, CD62L, CD69, ICOS, 41-BB (CD137), and NKG2D, or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, the T cell antigen is CD3, and the second antigen binding region binds to any of the gamma, delta, epsilon, zeta, and eta chains of CD3.
[0191] In some embodiments, the antibodies of the application bind to human and cynomolgus CDH17. In some embodiments, the antibodies of the application bind to CDH17-positive tumor cells with an EC50 in the nM range, e.g., about 0.5-2.0 nM. In some embodiments, the antibodies of the application are endocytosed by CDH17-positive tumor cells with an IC50 of less than 1 nM, e.g., 0.01-0.30 nM. In some embodiments, the antibodies of the application are capable of inhibiting the Wnt / beta-catenin signaling pathway.
[0192] The antibodies disclosed herein can comprise an Fc region. The Fc region can be of any isotype, including but not limited to IgGl, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4, and can comprise one or more mutations or modifications. In one embodiment, the Fc region is or is derived from an IgGl or IgG4 isotype, optionally with one or more mutations or modifications. In one embodiment, the Fc region is a human IgGl Fc.
[0193] In some embodiments, the Fc region has reduced effector function, e.g., reduced ADCC, ADCP, CDC, and / or Clq, FcyRI, FcyRII, or FcyRIIIA binding. For example, the Fc region can be of an IgGl isotype, or of a non-IgGl type, e.g., IgG2, IgG3, or IgG4, which has been mutated such that the ability to mediate effector function is reduced or even eliminated. Such mutations have been described, e.g., in Dall’Acqua WF, et al., J Immunol. 177(2): 1129-1138 (2006) and Hezareh M, J Virol.; 75(24): 12161-12168 (2001). For example, the Fc region can comprise an amino acid sequence with one or more of the following amino acid substitutions compared to the wild-type sequence: E233P, L234A, L234F, L235A, L235E, G237A, N297A, N297D, P331S, and P329G. In a preferred embodiment the Fc region comprises L234A and L235A (LA mutations).
[0194] In one embodiment, the Fc region comprises a mutation that removes the Asn-linked glycosylation acceptor site or is otherwise manipulated to alter the glycosylation properties. For example, in an IgGl Fc region, the N297Q mutation can be used to remove the Asn-linked glycosylation site. Thus, in a specific embodiment, the Fc region comprises an IgGl sequence with the N297Q mutation.
[0195] In a further embodiment, the Fc region is glycoengineered to reduce fucose and thus enhance ADCC, for example by the addition of a compound to the culture medium during antibody production, as described in US2009317869 or as described in van Berkel et al. (2010) Biotechnol. Bioeng. 105:350, or by the use of FUT8 knockout cells, as described in Yamane-Ohnuki et al. (2004) Biotechnol. Bioeng 87:614. Alternatively, the ADCC can be optimized using the methods described in Shields et al. (2002) J. Biol. Chem. 277: 26733. Natsume et al. (2009) Cancer Sci. 100:2411. Alternatively, the Fc region can be engineered to increase the affinity for FcγRIIB, as described in
[0196] In other embodiments, the Fc region has an extended serum half-life. For examples of altering (e.g., decreasing or increasing) the in vivo half-life of an antibody, see, e.g., International Publication Nos. WO 02 / 060919, WO 98 / 23289, and WO 97 / 34631; and U.S. Patent Nos. 5,869,046; 6,121,022; 6,277,375; and 6,165,745, all of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties. In some embodiments, one, two, or more amino acid mutations (e.g., substitutions, deletions, or insertions) are introduced into an IgG constant domain or FcRn binding fragment thereof (preferably an Fc or hinge region-Fc domain fragment) to decrease the in vivo half-life of the antibody. In other embodiments, one, two, or more amino acid mutations (e.g., substitutions, deletions, or insertions) are introduced into an IgG constant domain or FcRn binding fragment thereof (preferably an Fc or hinge region-Fc domain fragment) to increase the in vivo half-life of the antibody. In a particular embodiment, the antibody can have one or more amino acid mutations (e.g., substitutions) in the second constant (CH2) domain (residues 231-340 of human IgGl) and / or the third constant (CH3) domain (residues 341-447 of human IgGl) (numbered according to the EU numbering system). In a particular embodiment, the constant region of an antibody IgGl described herein comprises a substitution of methionine (M) to tyrosine (Y) at position 252, a substitution of serine (S) to threonine (T) at position 254; and a substitution of threonine (T) to glutamic acid (E) at position 256 (numbered according to the EU numbering system). See U.S. Patent No. 7,658,921, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Such mutant IgGs, termed “YTE mutants,” have been demonstrated to exhibit a four-fold increase in half-life compared to the wild-type version of the same antibody (see Dall Acqua WF et al. (2006) J Biol Chem 281:23514-24, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety). In some embodiments, the Fc region comprises M252Y, S254T, and T256E (YTE mutations).
[0197] Antibody drug conjugates (ADCs)
[0198] In another aspect, the present application provides an antibody drug conjugate comprising an antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof disclosed herein and a chemical moiety conjugated to the antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof.
[0199] In the context of this disclosure, "antibody-drug conjugate," "antibody-drug conjugate," or "antibody conjugate" refers to an antibody or antibody fragment (such as an antigen-binding fragment) covalently linked to a chemical moiety. The chemical moiety may be selected from cytotoxic drugs, immunostimulatory molecules, and detectable markers, such as drugs, toxins, therapeutic agents, detectable markers, proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, nanoparticles, carbohydrates, or recombinant viruses. When an antibody-drug conjugate contains an antibody linked to a drug (e.g., a cytotoxic agent), the conjugate is generally referred to as an "antibody-drug conjugate" or "ADC."
[0200] The terms "coupling," "conjugation," or "linking" can refer to the process by which two polypeptides become a single, continuous polypeptide molecule. In one embodiment, an antibody is linked to a chemical moiety. In another embodiment, the antibody linked to the chemical moiety is further linked to a lipid or other molecule to a protein or peptide to increase its half-life in vivo. Linking can be performed chemically or recombinantly. In one embodiment, the linking is chemical, wherein a reaction between the antibody moiety and the chemical moiety produces a covalent bond formed between the two molecules to form a single molecule. A peptide linker (short peptide sequence) may optionally be included between the antibody and the chemical moiety.
[0201] Chemical motifs can be linked to the antibodies of the present invention in any number of ways known to those skilled in the art. In this document, the number of chemical motifs linked to a single antibody of the present invention can be expressed as “DAR”. For example, in some embodiments, “DAR” represents the number of linker-payloads linked to a single antibody of the present invention.
[0202] Covalent and non-covalent attachment methods can be used. The procedure for attaching the chemical moiety to the antibody varies depending on the chemical structure of the chemical moiety. Peptides typically contain multiple functional groups; such as carboxylic acid (COOH), free amine (-NH2), or thiol (-SH) moieties, which can be used to react with suitable functional groups on the antibody to result in the binding of the chemical moiety. Alternatively, the antibody is derivatized to expose or attach additional reactive functional groups. Derivatization can involve attaching any of many known linker molecules. The linker can be any molecule used to link the antibody to the chemical moiety. The linker is capable of forming a covalent bond with both the antibody and the chemical moiety. Suitable linkers are well known to those skilled in the art and include, but are not limited to, straight-chain or branched-chain carbon linkers, heterocyclic carbon linkers, or peptide linkers. In the case where the antibody and the chemical moiety are peptides, the linker can be attached to the constituent amino acid (e.g., via a disulfide bond to cysteine) or to the α-carbon amino and carboxyl groups of the terminal amino acid via their side groups.
[0203] In certain cases, it is desirable to release the chemical moiety from the antibody when the antibody conjugate reaches its target site. Thus, in these cases, the antibody conjugate will comprise a cleavable linkage that is cleavable near the target site.
[0204] The conditions experienced by the enzymatic activity or antibody conjugate within the target cell or near the target site can prompt cleavage of the linker to release the chemical moiety from the antibody.
[0205] Given the large number of methods reported for attaching various radiodiagnostic compounds, radiotherapeutic compounds, markers (such as enzymes or fluorescent molecules), drugs, toxins, and other agents to antibodies, one of skill in the art will be able to determine a suitable method for attaching a given agent to an antibody or other polypeptide.

[0532] 1.1 Preparation of CDH17 recombinant protein
[0533] The nucleic acid sequence encoding the antigen protein with his and Fc tags was integrated into a mammalian cell expression vector, and after bacterial infection, lysis, plasmid extraction and washing, the plasmid expressing the antigen protein was obtained. P11 was subcultured in HEK293F cells to a suitable number of passages, and the complex formed by PEI and plasmid was added dropwise to 293 cells subcultured at a cell density of 1.5 x 10 6 cells / mL the day before, shaking the bottle body at the same time, or mixing the cells after adding part of the complex, and then repeating the addition, to avoid excessive local concentration of the complex. The 293 cells were placed in a cell incubator at 37°C, 120 rpm, 5% CO2, and cultured, with day 0 being the day of transfection. On days 1 and 3, 5% OPM-293 Profeed of the volume of cells on the day of transfection was added. On day 4 after transfection, the cell viability after transfection was detected using a Vi-cell. When the cell viability decreased to about 70%, the fermentation broth was collected, filtered and purified to obtain the antigen protein, which was subjected to western blot detection. The results are shown in Figure 1, and human CDH17 (hCDH17) recombinant protein and cynomolgus monkey CDH17 (cyCDH17) recombinant protein were obtained. The amino acid sequences of human and cynomolgus monkey CDH17 proteins are as follows:

[0535] Cynomolgus monkey CDH17 (SEQ ID NO. 2)
[0536] 1.2 Construction of HEK293-hCDH17 and HEK293-cyCDH17 stable cell lines
[0537] The full-length human or cynomolgus monkey CDH17 gene was cloned into an expression vector containing a puromycin resistance gene using molecular cloning technology, resulting in plasmids plenti-hCDH17-IRES-p or plenti-cyCDH17-IRES-p. HEK293 cells were then transfected with these expression vectors. After entering the host cells, the target gene underwent reverse transcription and integrated into the genome, thereby expressing the human or cynomolgus monkey CDH17 gene. Cells were continuously screened for 30 days using a puromycin-containing selection medium to obtain cell populations containing HEK293-hCDH17 or HEK293-cyCDH17 positive cell lines (HEK293-hCDH17mix pool or HEK293-cyCDH17mix pool). Next, subcloning was performed using either the HEK293-hCDH17 mix pool or the HEK293-cyCDH17 mix pool. Cells were seeded at 1 cell / well in 96-well cell culture plates and cultured at 37°C with 5% CO2 for 2 weeks. Single-clone cells were then expanded to 24-well plates. After cell growth, single clones were screened and validated using anti-human or anti-cynomolgus monkey CDH17 antibodies. As shown in Figure 2, the expression of human or anti-cynomolgus monkey CDH17 in HEK293 cells was significantly increased, indicating successful construction of stable cell lines.
[0538] 1.3 Construction of a stable CHO-hCDH17 cell line
[0539] The full-length hCDH17 gene was cloned into an expression vector containing a puromycin resistance gene using molecular cloning technology, resulting in plenti- Plasmids were transfected into CHO cells using electroporation. After the target gene entered the host cell, it underwent reverse transcription and integrated into the genome, thereby expressing the hCDH17 gene. Cell lines expressing the hCDH17 gene were obtained through cell line selection with the addition of puromycin. Selection was continued for 2 weeks with 8 μg / mL puromycin-containing medium to obtain a cell population containing CHO-hCDH17 positive cells (CHO-hCDH17mix pool). Next, CHO-hCDH17mix pools were subcloned, and seeded at 1 cell / well in 96-well cell culture plates. After culturing at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator for 10–15 days, single-clone cells were expanded to 24-well plates. Once cells had grown sufficiently, single clones were screened and validated using anti-hCDH17 antibody. As shown in Figure 3, the CHO-hCDH17 stable cell line was successfully constructed.

[0739] 5.1 Affinity of anti-CDH17 humanized antibodies to hCDH17
[0740] Using the Bio-Layer Interferometry technology (BLI / gator prime), anti-CDH17 humanized antibody molecules in the transient supernatant were immobilized with Protein A probe, and then the probe was transferred to gradient-diluted hCDH17 avi cHis antigen, and by detecting the signal change on the probe, the affinity of the antibody to the antigen was obtained by kinetic fitting, as shown in Figure 7 and Table 9. The results showed that the affinity of the humanized antibody did not change significantly compared with the parent.
[0741] Table 9 Affinity of anti-CDH17 humanized antibodies
[0742] 5.2 Binding of anti-CDH17 humanized antibody to tumor cells
[0743] Using SNU-16 as the target cell, the cell density was adjusted to 1×10⁶ cells per ml using blocking solution. 7 Incubate cells on ice for 30 minutes, preparing samples during this time. Dilute antibody to 30 μg / ml with flow cytometry buffer, performing 5-fold serial dilutions. Add flow cytometry buffer to dilute cell density to 5 × 10⁶ cells / ml. 5 100 μl of each cell was seeded into a U-shaped 96-well plate; after centrifugation and discarding the supernatant, 100 μl of diluted antibody was added to each well, and the cells were incubated on ice for 60 minutes.
[0744] After incubation, the cells were washed three times with 200 μl of flow cytometry buffer. 50 μl of AF647-Goat Anti-human IgG,Fc (1:300 dilution) labeled on the cell surface was added to each well. After incubation on ice for 25 minutes, 50 μl of PI staining solution (1:100 dilution) was added to each well, and incubation continued for 5 minutes. After washing once, the cells were resuspended in PBS. The mean fluorescence intensity of AF647 in single viable SNU-16 cells was detected by flow cytometry. The results are shown in Figure 8A and Table 10, respectively. Using the unrelated anti-KLH antibody as a control, the binding activities of mAb5 H3K1 and mAb5 H5K2 did not change significantly compared to the parent cell; the binding activities of four humanized antibodies, including mAb3 H2K4, were slightly higher than those of the parent cell.
[0745] Using SNU-16 and ASPC-1 cells as target cells, the binding activities of mAb5 H3K1, the control antibody TORL-3-600, and Anti-KLH were detected using the same method as before. The results are shown in Figure 8B and Table 11. The binding plateau of mAb5 H3K1 was higher than that of the control antibody TORL-3-600, indicating that the cell binding activity of mAb5 H3K1 was superior to that of TORL-3-600.

[0748] 5.3 Internalization activity of anti-CDH17 humanized antibody with tumor cells
[0749] Using SNU-16 as the target cell, the cell density was adjusted to 1 x 102 cells per ml using RPMI-1640 complete medium containing 20% FBS (Low IgG). 5Cells, 100 μl were plated in 96-well flat-bottom plates.
[0750] The purified hybridoma antibody and DT3C were diluted with RPMI-1640 basic medium to a concentration of 40 mg / ml, and the antibody and DT3C were mixed in equal volumes, incubated at 37°C for 30 min, and then diluted by 4-fold gradient dilution, and 100 μl of the diluted solution was added to each well (at this time, the actual working concentration of the antibody was 10 μg / ml, the molar ratio of the antibody to DT3C was 1:2, and the FBS concentration was 10%), and the culture was continued for 72 h. The cells were stained with CCK-8 reagent at a concentration of 10%, and the absorbance at 450 nm was read. The relative viability was calculated, and the antibody concentration was taken as the abscissa, and the relative viability was taken as the ordinate. The IC50 of the sample was calculated by four-parameter regression analysis. 50 The results are shown in FIG. 9A and Table 12, respectively. The endocytosis activity of the humanized antibodies was not significantly changed from that of the parent antibody.
[0751] The endocytosis activity of mAb5-H3K1, control antibody TORL-3-600, and Anti-KLH was detected using SNU-16 as the target cells. The SNU-16 cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 complete medium at 37°C and 5% CO2, and the cells were collected by centrifugation at 4°C and 300 x g for 10 min. The cell density was adjusted to 1 x 10 5 The cells were inoculated in 96-well cell culture plates at 100 μl per well, and the culture was continued at 37°C and 5% CO2 overnight.
[0752] The prepared mAb5-H3K1, TORL-3-600, and Anti-KLH were mixed with gradient-diluted DT3C in equal volumes and incubated at 37°C for 30 min. The cells were added at 100 μl per well, and the culture was continued at 37°C and 5% CO2 for 3 days. CCK-8 color developing solution was added at 20 μl per well, and the culture was continued at 37°C and 5% CO2 for 2 h. The optical absorbance was measured at a wavelength of 450 nm using an enzyme marker, and the experimental results were recorded. The target cell wells to which 100 μl of reaction buffer was added were used as the control wells, and the target cell wells to which 200 μl of reaction buffer was added were used as the blank wells. The endocytosis activity of mAb5-H3K1 was superior to that of TORL-3-600, as shown in FIG. 9B and Table 13.
