Detailed Implementation
[0140] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. The embodiments described below are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0141] It should be noted that the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. Furthermore, in the description of this invention, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0143] To facilitate understanding of the invention, certain technical and scientific terms are specifically defined below. Unless otherwise expressly defined elsewhere in this document, all other technical and scientific terms used herein have the meanings commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains.
[0144] In this document, the terms “comprising” or “including” are open-ended expressions, meaning that they include the contents specified in this invention, but do not exclude other aspects.
[0145] In this document, the terms “optionally,” “optionally,” or “optionally” generally refer to an event or condition that may, but may not, occur, and the description includes both cases in which the event or condition occurs and cases in which the event or condition does not occur.
[0146] Terms and Definitions
[0147] To facilitate understanding of this invention, certain technical and scientific terms are specifically defined below. Unless explicitly defined elsewhere in this document, all other technical and scientific terms used herein have the meaning commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. Abbreviations for amino acid residues are the standard 3-letter and / or 1-letter codes used in the art to refer to one of the 20 commonly used L-amino acids.
[0148] In this article, the term "antibody" generally refers to an antibody that recognizes one or more antigenic epitopes, including but not limited to monoclonal antibodies, polyclonal antibodies, dimers, multimers, multispecific antibodies (e.g., bispecific antibodies), heavy-chain-only antibodies, triple-chain antibodies, single-chain Fv (scFv), nanobodies, etc., and also includes antibody fragments, provided they exhibit the desired biological activity (Miller et al. (2003) Jour. of Immunology 170: 4854-4861). Antibodies can be mouse, human, humanized, chimeric, or derived from other species. Antibodies can refer to full-length heavy-chain, full-length light-chain, or intact immunoglobulin molecules; or the immunologically active portion of any of these polypeptides, i.e., a molecule or portion thereof containing an antigen-binding site that specifically binds to a target antigen of interest, such targets including but not limited to cancer cells or cells that produce autoantibodies associated with autoimmune diseases.
[0149] In this paper, certain regions within the variable region exhibit a higher degree of variation in amino acid composition and sequence, termed "hypervariable region (HVR)." The hypervariable region is the location where antigens and antibodies bind, and is therefore also called the complementarity-determining region (CDR). Both the heavy chain and light chain variable regions contain three CDR regions. For example, these typically include amino acid residues near 23-34 (L1), 50-56 (L2), and 89-97 (L3) in the light chain variable region, and near 31-35B (H1), 50-65 (H2), and 95-102 (H3) in the heavy chain variable region (Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 5th Ed. Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD. (1991)); and / or amino acid residues from “high-variable rings” (e.g., amino acid residues near 26-32 (L1), 50-52 (L2), and 91-96 (L3) in the light chain variable region, and near 26-32 (H1), 53-55 (H2), and 96-101 (H3) in the heavy chain variable region (Chothia and Lesk J. Mol. Biol. 196: 901-917 (1987)).
[0150] In this document, the term "antigen-binding fragment" is equivalent to "antibody fragment" or "antigen-binding antibody fragment," and can include a portion of a complete antibody, generally an antigen-binding region or variable region. This includes, but is not limited to: Fv, scFv, Fab, Fab', Fab'-SH, F(ab')2, scFv-Fc fragments, or bispecific antibodies (BsAbs), linear antibodies, or any fragment that should be able to increase its half-life through chemical modification or incorporation into liposomes, such as the addition of poly(alkylene) glycols, like polyethylene glycol ("PEGylated," "PEGylated") (a PEGylated fragment referred to as Fv-PEG, scFv-PEG, Fab-PEG, F(ab')2-PEG, or Fab'-PEG) ("PEG" stands for polyethylene glycol).
[0151] In this article, the term "chimeric antibody" refers to a recombinant antibody obtained by using recombinant DNA technology to replace the amino acid sequence of the constant region of a monoclonal antibody from one species (such as a mouse) with the constant region of an antibody from another species (such as a human).
[0152] In this article, the term "humanized antibody" refers to a recombinant antibody obtained by replacing all non-CDR (Fv backbone (FR)) amino acid sequences in the constant and variable regions of a monoclonal antibody from one species (e.g., mouse) with the non-CDR amino acid sequences in the constant and variable regions of an antibody from another species (e.g., human). That is, when the constant region of an antibody is humanized, it is called a chimeric antibody, and when all non-CDR amino acid sequences in both the constant and variable regions are humanized, it is called a humanized antibody. The humanization method can be performed using conventional antibody engineering techniques, and will not be elaborated upon here.
[0153] For nucleotides, the terms "homology," "identity," or "similarity" are used to describe or compare the degree of nucleotide similarity between two or more nucleotide sequences. The percentage of "sequence homology" between a first and a second sequence can be calculated by dividing the number of nucleotides in the first sequence that are identical to those at the corresponding positions by the number of nucleotides in the second sequence. This is calculated by subtracting the total number of nucleotides in the first sequence from the number of nucleotides in the second sequence and then multiplying by 100%, where each deletion, insertion, substitution, or addition of a nucleotide in the second sequence—relative to the first sequence—is considered a difference at a single nucleotide (position). Alternatively, the degree of sequence identity between two or more nucleotide sequences can be calculated using standard settings and known computer algorithms for sequence alignment, such as NCBI Blast v2.0. Other techniques, computer algorithms, and settings used to determine the degree of sequence identity include, for example, those in WO 04 / 037999, EP 0967284, EP 1085089, WO 00 / 55318, WO 00 / 78972, WO 98 / 49185, and GB 2357768-A.
[0154] For peptides, the terms "(substantial) homology," "identity," or "similarity" are used to describe or compare the degree of amino acid similarity between two or more peptides or their designated sequences at optimal alignment and comparison (where appropriate insertions or deletions of nucleotides are made). The percentage of homology between two sequences varies with the number of identical positions shared by these sequences at optimal alignment (i.e., homology % = number of identical positions / total number of positions × 100), where optimal alignment is determined taking into account the number of vacancies introduced to achieve optimal alignment of the two sequences and the length of each vacancy. Sequence comparison and identity percentage determination between two sequences can be performed using mathematical algorithms, as described in the non-limiting examples below.
[0155] In this document, the term "vector" generally refers to a nucleic acid molecule capable of self-replication within a suitable host, transferring the inserted nucleic acid molecule into host cells and / or between host cells. The vector may include vectors primarily for inserting DNA or RNA into cells, vectors primarily for replicating DNA or RNA, and expression vectors primarily for transcription and / or translation of DNA or RNA. The vector also includes vectors having multiple of the aforementioned functions. The vector may be a polynucleotide capable of being transcribed and translated into a polypeptide when introduced into a suitable host cell. Typically, by culturing suitable host cells containing the vector, the vector can produce the desired expression product.
[0156] In this document, the term "pharmaceutical composition" generally refers to a unit dosage form and can be prepared by any method well known in the pharmaceutical industry. All methods involve the step of combining the active ingredient with a carrier constituting one or more adjunct components. Typically, compositions are prepared by uniformly and sufficiently combining the active compound with a liquid carrier, a finely chopped solid carrier, or both.
[0157] In this document, the term "treatment" means used to refer to achieving a desired pharmacological and / or physiological effect. This effect may be preventative in terms of complete or partial prevention of disease or its symptoms, and / or therapeutic in terms of partial or complete cure of disease and / or adverse effects caused by disease. As used herein, "treatment" covers diseases in mammals, particularly humans, including: (a) prevention of disease or the onset of disease in individuals susceptible to disease but not yet diagnosed with the disease; (b) inhibition of disease, such as blocking disease progression; or (c) relief of disease, such as reducing disease-related symptoms. As used herein, "treatment" encompasses any administration of a drug or compound to an individual to treat, cure, relieve, improve, reduce, or inhibit the individual's disease, including but not limited to administration of a drug containing a compound described herein to an individual in need.
[0158] In this document, the term "diagnosis" refers to the identification, revelation, ascertainment, and / or definition of the localization of a pathological state, disease, or condition. In some specific embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention, when administered to a subject or exposed to samples from a subject, aid in the diagnosis of cancer, tumor formation, or condition.
[0159] In many embodiments, the terms "subject" and "patient" are used interchangeably, regardless of whether the subject has received or is currently receiving any form of treatment. As used herein, the terms "subject" or "patient" refer to a mammalian subject or patient. Unless otherwise indicated, the terms "patient" or "subject" are used interchangeably herein. Exemplary subjects include, but are not limited to, humans, monkeys, dogs, cats, mice, rats, cattle, horses, camels, poultry, goats, and sheep. In some embodiments, the subject is a human. In some embodiments, the subject is a person suspected of having a tumor.
[0160] The present disclosure will be explained below with reference to embodiments. Those skilled in the art will understand that the following embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the disclosure. Where specific techniques or conditions are not specified in the embodiments, they are performed in accordance with the techniques or conditions described in the literature in the art or according to the product instructions. Reagents or instruments whose manufacturers are not specified are all conventional products that can be obtained commercially.
[0161] The sequence information involved in this invention is shown in Table 1 below:
[0162] Table 1 Note: *CDR stands for complementarity determining region; **FR stands for framework region.
[0163] Table 2 summarizes the proportion of humanized sequences in each region of the humanized antibodies B16-H1L1, B16-H2L2, B16-H3L3, and A12-H1L1, A12-H2L2, and A12-H3L3, as well as the proportion of humanized sequences in the complete antibodies. For example, the 82 / 89 and 92.1% proportions of the backbone region in the heavy chain variable region of B16-H1L1 indicate that the backbone region of the heavy chain variable region of B16-H1L1 antibody contains 89 amino acids, of which 82 are humanized sequences, and the proportion of humanized sequences in the backbone region of the heavy chain variable region of B16-H1L1 is 92.1%. The percentages of complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) in the B16-H1L1 heavy chain variable region are 24 / 31 and 77.4%, respectively. In the B16-H1L1 antibody, the CDRs consist of 31 amino acids, of which 24 are human sequences, representing 77.4% of the total CDRs. Similarly, the percentages of the entire B16-H1L1 heavy chain are 436 / 450 and 96.9%, respectively. In the B16-H1L1 antibody, the heavy chain consists of 450 amino acids, of which 436 are human sequences, representing 96.9% of the total heavy chain. This indicates a high level of antibody humanization. The remaining antibody data in the table are annotated as above.
[0164] Table 2
[0165] Example 1: Expression and purification of chimeric antibodies against ROR2
[0166] pCDNA3.1 plasmid (purchased from Guangzhou Aiji Biotechnology Co., Ltd.) expressing the human ROR2 protein extracellular fragment and a 6x his tag was transfected into HEK293F cells. Cells were cultured in FreeStyle medium, and the culture supernatant was collected after 4 days. The supernatant was purified using a nickel column and concentrated by ultrafiltration to obtain the human ROR2 extracellular fragment. Five BALB / c mice were immunized with the human ROR2 extracellular fragment and adjuvant. Mice that produced high-titer anti-ROR2 serum were selected, and spleen cells were obtained and RNA was extracted. The RNA was reverse transcribed into cDNA and amplified by PCR using specific primers to obtain a phage Fab antibody library. Candidate clones that could bind to the immobilized human ROR2 protein extracellular domain were screened using ELISA, sequenced, and expressed as full-length antibodies in HEK293F cells. Antibodies were purified by Protein A affinity chromatography: B1, B3, B5, B6, B8, B9, B10, B17, B18, B21, B23, B26, B28, B31, and A7. The amino acid sequences of each antibody are shown in Table 1.
[0167] The binding ability of candidate clonal antibodies to the extracellular domain of human ROR2 protein was detected by ELISA. ELISA plates were coated with 2 μg / mL human ROR2 protein extracellular domain, blocked with 5% milk, and incubated with different concentrations of candidate antibodies at room temperature for 1 hour. The plates were then detected with HRP-labeled goat anti-mouse secondary antibody and TMB colorimetric assay. The absorbance at 450 nm was read by an ELISA reader. The results are shown in Figure 1. All the screened candidate clonal antibodies could bind to the extracellular domain of human ROR2.
[0168] Example 2: Expression and purification of humanized anti-ROR2 monoclonal antibody
[0169] Based on the amino acid sequences of the previously obtained B16 chimeric antibody (B16) and A12 chimeric antibody (A12), the modified antibodies were used. The amino acid sequences of the B16 and A12 chimeric antibodies are shown in Table 1.

After 6 days of culture, the cell supernatant was collected and purified and concentrated using a Protein A column. The purified protein was identified by SDS-PAGE gel chromatography, and the results are shown in Figure 2. The results show that the purified antibodies have high purity.
[0170] In Figure 2A, from left to right, the first, second, third, and fourth columns represent the non-reducing SDS-PAGE gel results of humanized antibodies B16-H1L1, B16-H2L2, B16-H3L3, and A12 chimeric antibodies with a loading amount of 1 μg, respectively; the fifth and sixth columns represent the standards with loading amounts of 1 μg and 0.5 μg, respectively; the seventh column represents the protein marker; and the eighth, ninth, tenth, and eleventh columns represent the reducing SDS-PAGE gel results of humanized antibodies A12-H1L1, A12-H2L2, A12-H3L3, and A12 chimeric antibodies with a loading amount of 2 μg, respectively. In Figure 2B, from left to right, columns 1 through 5 represent the non-reducing SDS-PAGE gel results for humanized antibodies B16-H1L1, B16-H2L2, B16-H3L3, and A12 chimeric antibodies and standards, respectively, with a loading amount of 1 μg. Column 6 represents the protein markers.

[0171] Example 3: ELISA verification of the affinity of humanized antibodies B16 and A12 for the extracellular domain of ROR2 protein.
[0172] The extracellular fragments of ROR2 and ROR1 were coated onto 96-well plates overnight and blocked with 5% milk. Purified antibodies (10 μg / mL) were then added to different wells for ELISA detection. The experimental procedures were standard in the field. The OD450 values of the humanized antibodies binding to the ROR2 extracellular fragment are shown in Figure 3A. It can be seen that the humanized antibodies B16-H1L1, B16-H2L2, B16-H1L2, B16-H1L3, and A12-H1L1, A12-H2L2, A12-H3L3 showed good affinity even at low concentrations, indicating that humanized antibodies can be used in ELISA. As a negative control, the OD450 values of the humanized antibodies binding to the ROR1 extracellular fragment are shown in Figure 3B. UC961 is the antibody that recognizes the ROR1 extracellular fragment, indicating that the above-mentioned humanized antibodies have good specificity.
[0173] It should be noted that the heavy chain of antibody B16-H1L2 has the same sequence as the heavy chain of antibody B16-H1L1, and the light chain of antibody B16-H1L2 has the same sequence as the light chain of antibody B16-H2L2; the heavy chain of antibody B16-H1L3 has the same sequence as the heavy chain of antibody B16-H1L1, and the light chain of antibody B16-H1L3 has the same sequence as the light chain of antibody B16-H3L3.
[0174] Example 4: Protein-protein interaction assay to determine affinity kinetics of humanized antibodies B16 and A12
[0175] B16 chimeric antibody (B16), A12 chimeric antibody (A12), B16 humanized antibodies (B16-H1L1, B16-H2L2, B16-H3L3), and A12 humanized antibodies (A12-H1L1, A12-H2L2, A12-H3L3) were diluted to a concentration of 10 μg / mL and loaded onto the protein interaction analyzer (Fortebio Octet RED96) sensor, following standard procedures in the field. The ROR2 extracellular antigen was then prepared into three concentration gradients: 20 nM, 5 nM, and 1.25 nM. Affinity with different antibodies was measured, and the dissociation constant (K0) was calculated. D (Value). As shown in Figure 4, the K values of six humanized antibodies. D The values all reached the nM level, indicating that they have a high affinity for the ROR2 antigen.
[0176] Example 5: Flow cytometry detection of antibody binding ability
[0177] The three purified B16 humanized antibodies and three A12 humanized antibodies obtained above were subjected to flow cytometry staining, following standard procedures in the field, to detect T47D cells (antibody concentrations of 0.1, 1, and 10 μg / mL, respectively, see Figure 5). When T47D cells (purchased from ATCC, American Center for Type Culture Collection) were detected with different concentrations of humanized antibodies B16-H1L1, B16-H1L2, B16-H1L3 and A12-H1L1, A12-H2L2 and A12-H3L3 antibodies, the fluorescence intensity of the flow cytometry showed a gradient change, and high sensitivity was achieved even at a low antibody concentration of 1 μg / mL.
[0178] Example 6: Flow cytometry comparison of binding ability between humanized antibodies and commercial antibodies
[0179] Humanized antibodies B16-H1L1 and A12-H1L1 were conjugated with Alexa Flour-488 dye, and their interaction with the commercial antibody hROR2 Alexa was detected by flow cytometry. The binding ability of 488-conjugated antibody (catalog number: FAB20641G, R&R) to the cell surface ROR2 protein was measured. The results are shown in Figure 6. At a concentration of 10 μg / mL, the fluorescence signal intensity of the B16-H1L1 and A12-H1L1 antibodies was significantly higher than that of the commercial antibody, indicating that they have a stronger binding ability to the ROR2 protein.
[0180] Example 7: The endocytosis effect of humanized antibodies
[0181] T47D cells were co-incubated with different humanized antibodies (3 μg / mL) on ice for 30 minutes, then divided into two groups and incubated at 4℃ or 37℃ for 0.5 or 3 hours respectively. After incubation with secondary antibody (Alexa647 Anti-human IgG, 1:500 dilution) on ice for 30 minutes, the expression level of ROR2 protein was determined by flow cytometry. The endocytosis rate of the humanized antibodies was calculated using the following formula: 100 - (fluorescence intensity after incubation at 37℃ - fluorescence intensity after incubation at 4℃) * 100 (both subtracting the fluorescence intensity of the control). As shown in Figure 7, more than 50% of the antibodies from B16-H1L1, B16-H1L2, and B16-H1L3 were endocytosed into the cells after 3 hours, while A12-H1L1 showed better endocytosis, with more than 70% of the antibodies endocytosed within 0.5 hours.
[0182] Example 8: Effect of B16 humanized antibody on the invasive ability of breast cancer cell line T47D
[0183] Pancreatic cancer PDX tumor tissue grown from T47D cells or isolated single cells from immunodeficient mice was pre-incubated with B16 chimeric and humanized antibody or control IgG for half an hour (50 μg / mL). The cells were then added to Transwell chambers lined with matrix gel (10:1). The cell suspension was diluted with growth factor-free and serum-free MBGM, and NIH3T3 cell-specific culture medium (collected from NIH3T3 cells cultured for 24 hours without serum) was added to the lower chamber. After 24 hours, the number of cells that had penetrated the matrix gel and adhered to the bottom of the wells was observed and counted. The results are shown in Figure 8. The results show that after treatment with the B16 humanized antibody, the number of breast cancer cell lines that penetrated the matrix gel was significantly reduced, indicating that the humanized antibody can significantly reduce their invasive ability.
[0184] Example 9: Effects of B16 humanized antibody on PDX colorectal cancer tumor cells
[0185] The spheroidization assay involved culturing tumor cells into single cells in MEGM medium rich in growth factors in a low-adhesion culture plate and observing the ability of each single cell to form spheroids. Stronger spheroidization ability indicated stronger stemness of the tumor cells. When 50 μg / mL of humanized B16 antibody was added to MEGM medium containing colon cancer PDX tumor cells (initial cell count of 5000 or 20000), after two weeks of culture, the number of spheroids formed in the antibody-treated group was significantly less than that in the untreated group and the control IgG group. This demonstrates that the humanized B16 antibody of this invention can effectively inhibit the spheroidization ability of T47D colon cancer PDX tumor cells. The results are shown in Figures 9A and 9B. To verify whether the B16 chimeric antibody has an inhibitory effect on tumor growth in vivo, a colon cancer PDX mouse model was first established. Mice were then divided into antibody-treated and control groups. Mice in the antibody-treated group were injected intravenously with B16-H1L1 antibody (10 mg / kg), and the size of the tumor tissue was measured regularly. The growth curve is shown in Figure 9C. The results showed that B16-H1L1 antibody could significantly inhibit the growth of PDX colorectal cancer tumors in immunodeficient mice. The tumor weight of the experimental group after B16-H1L1 treatment was also significantly smaller than that of the control group (Figure 9D and E).
[0186] Example 10: Effect of B16 humanized antibody on clonogenicity of acute myeloid leukemia cells
[0187] Human acute myeloid leukemia cells OCI-AML5 (purchased from Shanghai BLUEFBIO Life Science) were counted on a hemocytometer, with 50 cells per well seeded into 96-well plates. 90 μL of MethoCult was added to each well. TM H4434 Classic, 7 μL IMDM medium, 1 μL penicillin / streptomycin, 2 μL fetal bovine serum; three replicate wells for each experiment.
[0188] During the culturing period from day 3 to day 14, daily observations were performed using an inverted fluorescence microscope for photographing and counting. The results, shown in Figure 10, indicate that cells treated with the humanized B16 antibody B16-H1L1 formed fewer colonies, suggesting that B16-H1L1 can inhibit the colony formation of acute myeloid leukemia cells.
[0189] Example 11: Treatment with the anti-ROR2 humanized antibody B16-H1L1 significantly inhibited tumor growth and metastasis.
[0190] 1X10 5ROR2-overexpressing PNAC1 pancreatic cancer cells (purchased from Wuhan Pronosei Biotechnology Co., Ltd.) were incubated on ice for 1 hour with 50 μg / mL of anti-ROR2 antibody or control antibody. Then, the cells were added to the upper chamber of a Transwell containing matrix gel. 600 μL of DMEM containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) was added to the lower chamber. The cells were incubated at 37°C for 6–18 hours in a 5% CO2 incubator. The culture medium in the chamber was aspirated, and the cells were washed once with PBS. The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 15 minutes, then stained with 0.1% crystal violet for 20–40 minutes. After staining, the cells were washed twice with PBS to remove residual crystal violet. The cells were gently wiped away from the upper layer of the chamber filter membrane with a cotton swab, allowed to air dry, and then randomly selected fields of view under a microscope to count the cells and calculate the average value. Each experimental group was set up in triplicate.
[0191] 5X10 4 PNAC1 cells overexpressing ROR2 and labeled with luciferase were injected into the pancreas of 4-6 week old NCG mice. The following day, each mouse was intraperitoneally injected with Luciferase luminescent substrate, and the cellular luminescence signal was detected using an IVIS200 imaging system. Based on the bioluminescence signal, the mice were randomly divided into two groups: a treatment group (n=5) and a control group (n=5). Antibody (10 mg / kg) was injected via tail vein twice a week, with bioluminescence signals monitored weekly. The survival of mice in both groups was observed. Around week four, the mice were sacrificed, and the pancreas, spleen, and liver were harvested. Luciferase activity was detected in real-time using the IVIS200 imaging system, and the signal was quantified.
[0192] The results, as shown in Figure 11, indicate that the humanized B16 antibody B16-H1L1 can inhibit the growth and metastasis of pancreatic cancer in mice.
