Description

Anti-angptl3 humanized monoclonal antibody and application thereof TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of biotechnology and antibody engineering pharmaceutical, and specifically relates to an anti-angptl3 humanized monoclonal antibody and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Angiopoietin-like protein 3(ANGPTL3) is a secreted protein, which is normally expressed at low levels in the kidney and is significantly increased in various kidney pathological conditions. It consists of an amino-terminal CCD and a carboxy-terminal FLD in its molecular structure. ANGPTL3-CCD can inhibit lipoprotein lipase, which is the functional domain of ANGPTL3 in lipid metabolism regulation(T.M.Teslovich, K.Musunuru, A.V.Smith et al. Biological, clinical and population relevance of 95 loci for blood lipids[J]. Nature, 2010, 466(7307): 707-713). ANGPTL3 also has the function of promoting angiogenesis, which is realized through ANGPTL3-FLD domain with integrin avB3 as the receptor(A.Angelakopoulou, T.Shah, R, Sofat et al. Comparative analysis of genome-wide association studies signals for lipids, diabetes, and coronary heart disease: Cardiovascular Biomarker Genetics Collaboration[J]. Eur Heart J, 2012, 33(3): 393-407.). In terms of the role of ANGPTL3 in the kidney, the expression level of ANGPTL3 in the kidney is significantly increased in patients with various kidney diseases and animal models of kidney disease(S.Romeo, W.Yin, J.Kozlitina et al. Rare loss-of-function mutations in ANGPTL family members contribute to plasma triglyceride levels in humans[I. J Clin Invest, 2009, 119(1): 70-79).At present, the research of ANGPTL3 and kidney injury is mostly focused on non-diabetic patients. Studies have found that serum ANGPTL3 levels in patients with hyperlipidemia-related proteinuria are positively correlated with 24-hour urinary protein quantification. ANGPTL3 is considered to be the connecting point of hyperlipidemia and proteinuria, and may be closely related to the generation of proteinuria associated with lipid metabolism disorders in chronic kidney disease (Yu Cai-Guo, Yuan Sha-Sha, Yang Long-Yan, et al. Angiopoietin-like 3 Is a Potential B-iomarker for Retinopathy in Type 2 Diabetic Patients [J]. Am J Ophthalmol, 2018, 191: 34-41). It is well known that podocytes cover the outside of the glomerular basement membrane, and they are an important barrier to prevent protein loss (Zhong P, Gu X, Cheng R, et al. αvβ3 integrin-targeted micellar mertansine prodrug effectively inhibits triple-negative breast cancer in vivo [J]. Int J Nanomedicine, 2017, 12: 7913-7921.). There is a small amount of ANGPTL3 deposition in normal kidney tissue, but ANGPTL3 has different degrees of increased expression in the glomerulus and renal tubules of children with primary nephrotic syndrome. The expression is significantly increased in children with minimal change nephrotic syndrome (a pathological type that highlights podocyte damage) and is positively correlated with the degree of proteinuria, so it is believed that ANGPTL3 is related to the generation of proteinuria through damage to podocytes (Luo Fei, Wu Panyun, Chen Jingfei, et al. ANGPTL3 possibly promotes cardiac angiogenesis through improving proangiogenic ability of endothelial progenitor cells after myocardial infarction [J]. Lipids Health Dis, 2018, 17(1): 184.).

[0003] Anti-ANGPTL3 monoclonal antibodies can specifically block or interfere with the activity of circulating ANGPTL3 (Dewey FE, Gusarova V, Dunbar RL, et al. Genetic and Pharmacologic Inactivation of ANGPTL3 and Cardiovascular Disease [J]. N Engl J Med, 2017, 377(3): 211-221.), and after injection of molecular targeted drugs Evinacumab and Vupanorsen, the triglyceride and cholesterol levels of dyslipidemia healthy volunteers can be dose-dependently reduced, and it is considered that ANGPTL3 can be used as a potential target for treating mixed hyperlipidemia.

[0004] The purpose of humanization of the mouse monoclonal antibody is to reduce its immunogenicity in the human body while ensuring that the binding site and affinity of the monoclonal antibody remain essentially unchanged, and to facilitate clinical transformation. The modification strategy is to transplant the complementarity determining region (CDR) sequence in the variable region, which is essential for antibody binding, into a framework composed of human sequences, and to replace the constant region as a whole with human sequences. The light chain adopts human kappa light chain constant region, and the heavy chain adopts human IgG1 heavy chain constant region.

[0033] The specific embodiments of the present application are further described below. It should be noted that the description of these embodiments is used to help understand the present application, but does not constitute a limitation on the present application. In addition, the technical features involved in the following described embodiments can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0034] The term "SDS-PAGE" refers to sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, which is the most commonly used technique for protein expression analysis in polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The principle of this technique is to separate proteins in the sample according to their molecular weight. SDS-PAGE is an essential operation in the expression and purification of foreign proteins in eukaryotic cell systems, and is usually used to detect protein expression (expression level, expression distribution), and to analyze the purity of the target protein, etc.

[0035] The term "SEC-HPLC" refers to a chromatographic separation technique, also known as gel filtration chromatography. It is a method of separating molecules according to their particle size, and is commonly used for large molecules or macromolecular complexes such as proteins and polymers. SEC-HPLC has become the gold standard for assessing the purity and aggregation of recombinant proteins, and can quickly detect the purity, repeatability and batch stability of proteins.

[0036] The term "DLS" refers to Dynamic Light Scattering, which is an effective method for measuring the size and distribution of submicron and nanometer particles. The particles in the dispersion system are in a state of random motion due to the collision of solvent molecules, which is Brownian motion. DLS measures the Brownian motion of particles in the dispersion system to determine the hydrodynamic size of the particles. The rate of Brownian motion can be quantified by the translational diffusion coefficient, usually represented by D. In a dispersion system, smaller particles diffuse faster and larger particles diffuse slower. Since the measured particles may have different shapes and the particle surface may be combined with other substances such as ions or polymers, we generally equate the shape of the measured particles to a sphere with the same diffusion rate, and the diameter of the sphere is taken as the hydrodynamic size of the particle.

[0037] The term "SPR" is used herein: SPR detection technology is a new detection and analysis technology based on optics and label-free, which can be used to dynamically monitor the whole process of interaction between biomolecules. SPR technology has the characteristics of high throughput, high flexibility and high sensitivity, which can allow researchers to characterize the interaction of biomolecules in binding studies, and can be widely used for other different molecules such as ions, molecular fragments, small molecules, proteins, viruses, etc. SPR is to detect the interaction between ligands and analytes on a biosensor chip, and then to detect the properties and structures of substances. In this way, we can analyze various organic or inorganic substances in the sample in real time and accurately, and infer the binding constant Ka, dissociation constant Kd, affinity constant KD and binding kinetics between molecules.

The framework region sequence of the designed humanized antibody is compared with that of the original antibody.

[0086] 4.1 Experimental Method

[0087] To verify the kidney protection effect of the anti-ANGPTL3 humanized monoclonal antibody on the adriamycin nephropathy mouse model, and compare the therapeutic effect with the positive drug hormone, the experimental scheme is designed as follows: male Balb / c mice are selected and randomly divided into 5 groups. The control group (Control) is injected with physiological saline 10.5 mg / kg once by tail vein, and the model group (ADR) is injected with adriamycin 10.5 mg / kg once by tail vein. The humanized monoclonal antibody group (hAb) is modeled as above, and hAb 20 mg / kg is injected intraperitoneally twice a week. The positive drug group (steroid) is modeled as above, and prednisone 2 mg / kg is administered once a day by gavage. The drug administration is started the day after modeling, and the mice are sacrificed after 3 weeks of continuous administration. The body weight, urinary albumin creatinine ratio (UACR), serum creatinine (SCR), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) are detected, and the kidney tissue is stained with PAS to observe and count the mesangial proliferation.

[0088] 4.2 Experimental Results

[0089] (1) Body weight and biochemical indicators

[0090] In the in vivo therapeutic effect verification experiment of the humanized monoclonal antibody on the adriamycin nephropathy mouse model, the model group showed significant weight loss, increased urinary protein, impaired renal function, and elevated blood lipids compared to the control group. After treatment with the humanized monoclonal antibody, urinary protein was significantly reduced, kidney function was protected, and blood lipids were reduced, showing good therapeutic effect. The humanized monoclonal antibody performed significantly better than the positive drug hormone in reducing urinary protein and blood lipid levels (Figure 6).

Blood is taken at 15 min, 1 d, 3 d, 7 d, 14 d, 21 d and 28 d after administration, the blood drug concentration is detected, the blood drug concentration-time curve is drawn, and the pharmacokinetic parameters are calculated.

[0095] The change of blood drug concentration in 3 dose groups in mice with time is shown in the blood drug concentration-time curve (Figure 8), and the corresponding pharmacokinetic parameters are fitted and calculated. It can be seen that with the increase of the administration concentration, the drug concentration in mice increases, the elimination rate accelerates, and the half-life prolongs, and the half-life corresponding to the low to high dose is 10.4, 12.0 and 14.1 days, respectively, indicating that the humanized monoclonal antibody has the characteristics of long half-life and can exist stably in mice for a long time (Figure 9).

[0097] To evaluate the safety of anti-ANGPTL3 humanized monoclonal antibody in mice, in order to predict possible adverse reactions in the future, the experimental scheme is designed as follows: male Balb / c mice are selected and randomly divided into 2 groups, the control group (Control) PBS and the humanized monoclonal antibody group (hAb) 50 mg / kg are injected intraperitoneally 2 times a week, and the mice are sacrificed after 4 weeks of continuous administration. The changes of body weight, organ index, blood routine, serum biochemical indicators and histopathological conditions of main parenchymal organs are monitored.

[0098] The results show that after 4 weeks of continuous administration of humanized monoclonal antibody, there is no significant change in body weight between the administration group and the control group (Figure 10), and there is no significant change in organ index except for the slight increase in liver index (Figure 11), and there is no significant difference in blood routine indexes between the two groups (Figure 12), and there is no significant difference in liver and kidney function and blood lipid level between the two groups, but the LDH and LDH1 in the heart muscle enzyme spectrum in the administration group appear significantly increased, and the CK and CK-MB appear an increasing trend, indicating the risk of myocardial injury (Figure 13), and in the aspect of histopathology, the liver of the mice in the administration group appears mild water degeneration, and the rest of the heart, spleen, lung, kidney, brain and other parenchymal organs show no significant abnormalities (Figure 14).
