[0003] Field of the Disclosure
[0004] The present disclosure relates to antibodies capable of binding and inhibiting 15-PGDH and particularly, although not exclusively, to novel therapeutic antibodies. Methods for using anti-PGDH antibodies in therapy, including for the treatment of Parkinson’s Disease and inflammatory conditions, muscle atrophy and / or dystrophy, or a disease or disorder associated with muscle atrophy and / or dystrophy, are also described.
[0005] Background
[0006] Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease. It is an age-dependent disease characterised by a progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra, locus coeruleus, and other neuronal populations that leads to a broad spectrum of non-motor and motor symptoms. Non-motor symptoms include rapid eye movement sleep behaviour disorder (RBD), anosmia, constipation, depression, dementia, and psychosis. Motor symptoms include tremor, stiffness, impaired posture, slowness of movement, falls, freezing, and muscle cramps (Jankovic et al., 2020). RBD has emerged as one of the most specific predictors of the synuclein-mediated neurodegenerative diseases including Parkinson's disease. It is now estimated that up to 90% of patients with RBD will eventually develop one of the a-synucleinopathies, although the delay from RBD to diagnosis of PD is variable (Roguski et al., 2020). The neuropathological hallmark of PD is the abnormal accumulation and aggregation of alpha synuclein protein (a-Syn) in the form of Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites. Pathological aggregation of a-Syn is a common feature of PD and other diseases referred to as alpha-synucleinopathies, such as dementia with Lewy bodies (Lewy body disease), and multiple-system atrophy (MSA). Chronic neuroinflammation is an important driver in the pathogenesis of PD, and prostaglandins have been implicated in this process (Tansey et al., 2010; Corwin et al., 2018). Prostaglandins are generated from arachidonic acid (AA) that is liberated from membrane phospholipids catalysed by phospholipase A2. The AAs are subsequently oxygenated to form prostaglandin H2 (PGH2) by cyclooxygenase-1 and 2 (COX1 , 2). PGH2 is transformed into PGE2, PGF2a, PGD2, and PGI2 via terminal prostaglandin synthases (PGES, PGFS, PGDS and PGIS respectively for each prostaglandin) that differ in their cell type distribution (Smyth et al., 2009). Different prostaglandins have different context-dependent effects. For example, while PGD2 is neurotoxic and has been shown to promote neurodegeneration, PGE2 (also referred to as PGE2) signalling reduces inflammatory neurodegeneration (Corwin et al., 2018; Liu et al., 2019). Further, whether PGD2 or PGE2 is beneficial or not is dependent on disease state and spatial (tissue and cell-type) and temporal factors (acute vs. chronic).PGE2 acts through four downstream G-protein-coupled prostaglandin E receptors: EP1 ; EP2; EP3; and EP4. The effect of PGE2 signalling depends on the expression of each EP receptor and the strength of each EP signal. EP1 (couple to Gq) and EP3 (couple to Gi) mediate PGE2-induced intracellular calcium mobilization. The EP2 and EP4 receptors coupled to Gs activate adenylate cyclase (AC) and increase cAMP production, whereas the EP3 receptor inhibits cAMP signalling (Cheng et al., 2021). The PGE2 signalling pathway has been implicated in neuroinflammation, mitochondrial function, oxidative stress, apoptosis, tissue regeneration, and neuronal signalling (Funk et al., 2001 ; Ho et al., 2017; Montalban et al., 2022; Palla et al. ,2021). In addition, reduced PGE2 signalling contributes to muscle wasting in sarcopenia, an age-related skeletal muscle wasting disease. These findings therefore implicate PGE2 in peripheral ageing-associated diseases (Palla et al., 2021 ; Guo et al., 2022). EP4 signalling has been shown to have a neuroprotective effect in a model of Parkinson’s disease (Pradhan et al. 2016).
[0007] 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (15-PGDH) is an enzyme responsible for the biological inactivation of eicosanoids such as prostaglandins, in particular prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). 15-PGDH negatively regulates the PGE2 signalling pathway and degrades PGE2 by catalysing its NAD-i-dependent dehydrogenation into 15-keto-PGE2 which is unable to bind prostaglandin receptors (Tai et al., 2002). 15-PGDH is mostly an intracellular protein, however small concentrations have been found in the extracellular space as well. Notably, inhibition of 15-PGDH promotes mitochondrial function and autophagy through increased PGE2 signalling, and this increased muscle mass and strength in aged mice (Palla et al., 2021). Small molecule inhibitors of 15-PGDH have been described for the treatment of inflammatory conditions and peripheral ageing-associated diseases (Zhang et al., 2015; Antczak et al., 2017, Huang et al., 2023). WO 2023 / 009618 describes bicyclic PGDH inhibitors and methods of using these in a range of conditions.
[0008] Summary of the Disclosure
[0009] The present inventors have shown that the antibody repertoire of resilient individuals can be used to identify disease-specific antibody sequences. In the present work, the inventors sought to identify candidate protective antibodies from patients resilient to Parkinson’s disease (PD). A proteome-wide interaction study of serum derived from PD patients revealed strong reactivity against 15-PGDH in patients resilient to PD and PD patients without cognitive impairment. These findings indicate that 15-PGDH autoreactivity has a protective role in PD pathology. Mass spectrometry-based proteomics of serum antibodies and phage display of antibody repertoires subsequently identified five monoclonal antibodies derived from these patients that bind and inhibit 15-PGDH. 15-PGDH-binding antibodies for research purposes have previously been described (see, for example, Kahnt et al., 2022 and Tai et al., 1990). However, these research antibodies are non-human (rabbit and mouse). They are not suitable for use as therapeutic antibodies, have no demonstrated therapeutic or potentially therapeutic effect, nor is there any teaching in these documents in relation to adapting these antibodies for a therapeutic purpose.
[0010] Palla et al., 2021 reported that 15-PGDH is elevated in aged tissues, including skeletal muscle tissues. Similarly, muscle transcriptome time-course profiles of mice analysed in Boersch et al., 2021 showed that expression of 15-PGDH increases in aged mice (data accessible at sarcoatlas.scicore.unibas.ch / , genesymbol: Hpgd). 15-PGDH degrades Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), and the resulting reduction in PGE2 signalling is a major contributor to muscle atrophy in aged mice and results from 15-PGDH-expressing myofibers and interstitial cells within muscle (Palla et al., 2021). Palla et al. demonstrated that inhibition of 15-PGDH, by targeted genetic knockdown or a small molecule inhibitor, increases aged muscle mass, strength, and exercise performance in mice.
[0011] The present inventors have demonstrated that treatment of aged mice with a family of antibodies as described herein that specifically bind to and inhibit PGDH had a more profound effect in improving gait and stability than was achieved by the small molecule inhibitor of 15-PGDH (Figure 21). The inventors also observed that the elevation in 15-PGDH levels is not just seen in aged tissues, identifying that the levels of 15-PGDH are also upregulated in young mice with an immobilised limb (a limb immobilisation model of disuse atrophy described in Wu et al., 2023), suggesting that 15-PGDH is also a contributor to disuse atrophy, for example disuse atrophy caused by immobilisation. Furthermore, using the same limb immobilisation model of disuse atrophy the inventors demonstrated that treatment with antibodies of the disclosure significantly increased muscle strength and function following short term (e.g. 2 weeks) limb immobilisation, despite no observable increase in muscle mass in this model (Figure 30).

[0074] Summary of the Figures
[0075] Embodiments and experiments illustrating the principles of the disclosure will now be discussed with reference to the accompanying figures in which:
[0076] Figure 1 shows the results of high-throughput proteome screening for autoreactivity in PD subject. The figure shows the hit fold change for autoreactive proteins to each subject sample. Points highlighted in green represent autoreactivity to 15-PGDH within subject SU_478 sample. All other data points in black and across all patient samples represent autoreactivity to a diverse range of human proteins.
[0077] Figure 2 shows 15-PGDH activity measured in the presence of 15-PGDH reactive and non-reactive serum. Plot shows fluorescence signal over time, where the fluorescence signal is generated by reduction of a fluorescent probe upon oxidation of NADH generated by 15-PGDH mediated substrate oxidisation. The activity of 15-PGDH is proportional to the fluorescent signal (fluorescence signal proportional to NADH concentration).Figure 3 shows the results of serum and plasma screening by ELISA across a panel of Parkinson’s Disease and healthy control patients (subjects). Fig. 3A shows raw absorbances demonstrating the level of binding to 15-PGDH across these patient samples. Fig.3B shows z-scores demonstrating the level of autoreactivity to 15-PGDH across these patient samples. Z-score is calculated as [raw signal - mean signal] / Standard deviation (SD). Dotted line at y=1 .5. Lysozyme was included as negative control. 15-PGDH antigen was an in-house recombinant human 15-PGDH with additional C-terminal Avi and hexahistidine tag (rhPGDH-Avi-His). 84 serum or plasma samples were screened for binding to 15-PGDH. Subjects SU1271 (healthy, no prodromal PD), SU478 (late onset at 90 years old with severe motor progression but no cognitive impairment ), SU1238 (resilient, RBD 7 years no progression to PD), SU1242 (resilient, RBD 12 years, no progression to PD), and SU1264 (healthy, no prodromal PD) are the top 5 subjects and with clear higher z-scores, showing serum / plasma reactivity against at least one form of 15-PGDH. SU1286 (PD 6.8 years + RBD, no cognitive impairment) was also selected for further characterisation as it was just outside the threshold for determining reactivity, but found not to inhibit 15-PGDH during serum inhibition tests (Fig. 2). Figure 4 shows the principles and results of a PGDH inhibition assay. Fig. 4A shows a schematic of a 15-PGDH inhibition assay. 15-PGDH inactivation of PGE2 modulates inflammatory signalling. A biochemical assay was adapted to measure 15-PGDH inhibition following incubation with 15-PGDH reactive serum or 15-PGDH binding monoclonal antibodies. Fig. 4B shows results of experiments where diluted patient serum from PGDH-reactive subjects SU1238, SU1242, SU1264, SU478, and SU1286 and an age-matched control (SU477) was incubated with active recombinant 15-PGDH and then added to the reaction mix from a commercial fluorometric PGDH activity assay (ab273327). Mean increase in fluorescence at 587 nm across three replicate samples for each subject was measured at the endpoint of the assay. PGDH-reactive subject means were compared to the SU477 mean by ordinary one-way ANOVA.SU1286 sample did not show significant enzyme inhibition in this format, validating the z-score cutoff used to select serum for screening.
[0078] Figure 5 shows the results of a PGDH inhibition assay in the presence of the antibody ATL6058. Activity is reported as a percentage of activity in the presence of an equal concentration of isotype control antibody.

[0111] Detailed Description of the Disclosure
[0112] Aspects and embodiments of the present invention will now be discussed with reference to the accompanying figures. Further aspects and embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art. All documents mentioned in this text are incorporated herein by reference.
[0113] The present disclosure refers to antibodies described herein using references specified as “ATL_000xxxx”, “ATL_xxxx”, “ATLxxxx” or “xxxx”, where “xxxx” is a four digits reference number specific to an antibody described herein. All of the above notations are used interchangeably to refer to the same antibody or a portion thereof (e.g. a VH, VL or part thereof, of the antibody). For example, antibody ATL_0006026 is interchangeably referred to herein as ATL_6026, ATL6026 and 6026. Unless otherwise specified, reference to a position within an antibody domain refers to the position according to IMGT numbering.
[0114] Disclosed herein are antibodies and fragments thereof that are capable of specifically binding to 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (15-PGDH) or a fragment thereof. As used herein, an antibody capable of specifically binding or specifically binding a target is one able to bind through the association of the epitope recognition site with an epitope within the target. It is distinct from non-specific binding, for example Fc mediated binding, ionic and / or hydrophobic interactions. In other words, an antibody which specifically binds a target recognised and binds to a specific protein structure within it rather than to proteins generally.
[0115] Binding to PGDH
[0116] The notations “15-PGDH” and “PGDH” are used interchangeably herein to refer to 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase or a fragment thereof. The fragment may include amino acids 3-266 of the human sequence of 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase, or equivalents in a homologous sequence such as the mouse 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase sequence or the cynomolgus monkey 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase sequence.
[0117] An antibody according to the present disclosure may bind human 15-PGDH. An antibody according to the present disclosure may bind human 15-PGDH as set out in SEQ ID NO: 82 (Uniprot ID P15428) or anantigen derived therefrom, such as e.g. as set out in SEQ ID NOs: 173, 83, and 81 . An antibody according to the present disclosure may bind orthologs of human 15-PGDH found in a non-human primate (e.g. Macaca fascicularis) and / or a rodent (e.g. mouse - Mus musculus and / or rat - Rattus norvegicus) species. For example, an antibody or fragment thereof may bind to one or more of: Macaca fascicularis 15-PGDH as set out in SEQ ID NO: 84 (Uniprot ID: Q8MJY8), or an antigen derived therefrom with the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 170, Mus musculus 15-PGDH as set out in SEQ ID NO: 86 (Uniprot ID: Q8VCC1 ) or an antigen derived therefrom with the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 85, and / or Rattus norvegicus 15-PGDH as set out in SEQ ID NO: 171 (Uniprot ID: 008699) or an antigen derived therefrom with the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 172. Binding of an antibody of the disclosure to one or more of the above antigens may be determined by biolayer interferometry (BLI), such as e.g. as described in examples of the present disclosure. For example, cross-reactivity of an antibody as described herein binding human 15-PGDH with mouse 15-PGDH antigen may be determined by BLI, for example BLI performed as described herein (Materials and Methods).
[0118] Human 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (15-PGDH) is encoded by HPGD (NCBI gene ID: 3248).
[0119] 15-PGDH is located on chromosome 4 (4q34.1) and comprises 10 exons. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. The PGDH protein is 266 amino acids in length, available under the Uniprot identifier P15428 and Ensembl ID ENSG00000164120. 15-PGDH is a member of the short-chain non-metalloenzyme alcohol dehydrogenase protein family and catalyses the NAD-dependent dehydrogenation (oxidation) of hydroxylated polyunsaturated fatty acids. These include prostaglandins (PGs; mainly PGE2, PGD2, and PGF2a), which function in a variety of physiologic and cellular processes such as inflammation (Sun et al., 2021).
[0120] The antibodies described herein inhibit 15-PGDH. As used herein, inhibition of 15-PGDH refers to the blocking, suppression or reduction of its enzymatic activity. In other words, the antibody according to the present disclosure may prevent or decrease the enzymatic activity of 15-PGDH, that is its NAD-dependent oxidation function may be reduced or abolished by binding to a binding site on 15-PGDH, compared with unbound 15-PGDH. The skilled person will be familiar with assays for measuring 15-PGDH activity, such as assays measuring the oxidation of a substrate as described in Tai, 1976. Inhibition of 15-PGDH may be determined using any assay known in the art, such as e.g. assays used in examples of the present disclosure. For example, inhibition of 15-PGDH may be determined using an assay based on the conversion of non-fluorescent NAD+ to fluorescent NADH catalyzed by 15-PGDH in the presence of substrate PGE2. Inhibition of 15-PGDH (e.g. mouse and / or human PGDH) may be assessed by measuring the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50). Antibodies described herein may inhibit 15-PGDH with an IC50 below 1 .5E-07 M, below 2.5E-07 M, below 5 E-07 M, or below 1 E-08 M. In some embodiments, the IC50 is about 1 E-08 M, about 1 E-09 M, about 3 E-09 M about 4 E-09 M. In some embodiments, the IC50 below 1 E-09 M.

Any of the references to residues of antibodies in the present paragraph may refer to residues of ATL6026 or corresponding residues in any variant or derivative thereof (including e.g. ATL_0008944, ATL_0008945, ATL_0008946, ATL 0008947, ATL 0007450, ATL 0007819, ATL 0007820, ATL 0007821 , ATL 0007822, ATL 0007823, ATL 0007824, ATL 0007825, ATL 0007826, ATL 0007827, ATL 0007829, ATL 0007889, ATL 0007890, ATL 0007892, ATL 0007893, ATL 0007896, ATL 0007899, ATL 0007900, ATL 0007901 , ATL 0007902, ATL 0007925, ATL 0007952, ATL 0007953, ATL_0007955). The present disclosure relates primarily to antibody molecules, whether whole antibody (e.g. IgG, such as lgG1) or antibody fragments (e.g. single-chain variable fragment (scFv), antibody fragments (Fab) or bivalent antibody fragments (F(ab’)2), single-domain antibody (sdAb). Antibody antigen binding regions (also referred to as “antigen binding portions”) are provided, as are antibody heavy chain variable (VH) and light chain variable (VL) domains. Within VH and VL domains are provided complementarity determining regions (CDRs), which may be provided within different framework regions (FRs), to form VH or VL domains, as the case may be. An antigen binding site may consist of an antibody VH domain and / or a VL domain. Thus, the term “isolated antibody” and “antibody” encompass whole antibody, and fragments thereof that maintain the binding functionality of the full antibody.
[0135] Antibodies according to the present disclosure may be provided in isolated form. The term “antibody” encompasses a fragment or derivative thereof, or a synthetic antibody or antibody fragment.
[0136] The antibody may be an scFv antibody molecule, a nanobody, or a whole antibody. The antibody may comprise an antibody constant region. The antibody may be a whole antibody. The antibody may be an lgG1 or variant thereof. The antibody may be an IgG 1 variant L234A / L235A (LALA) (such as an antibody comprising a constant region as set out in SEQ ID NO: 87). lgG1 variant may have reduced effector function. The antibody may comprise a human lgG1 lambda or kappa constant region. The antibody may comprise a constant region as set out in SEQ ID NO: 88 or SEQ ID NO: 89.
[0137] An antibody or fragment thereof may be a monoclonal antibody (mAb). mAbs are homogenous populations of antibodies specifically targeting a single epitope on an antigen. Antibodies and methods for their construction and use are well-known in the art and are described in, for example, Holliger & Hudson, Nature Biotechnology 23(9):1126-1136 (2005). In view of today’s techniques in relation to monoclonal antibody technology, antibodies can be prepared to most targets. It is possible to take monoclonal and other antibody molecules and use techniques of recombinant DNA technology to produce other antibody or chimeric molecules which retain the specificity of the original antibody. Such techniques may involve introducingCDRs or variable regions of one antibody into a different antibody molecule (see e.g. GB 2188638A and EP0239400).
[0138] A monoclonal monospecific IgG antibody molecule contains two antigen binding domains, each of which are able to bind the same target (i.e. it is bivalent for a single target). A Fab fragment generally comprises a VH domain, a CH1 domain, a VL domain and a CL domain. A full antibody may comprise a pair of Fab fragments and an Fc fragment comprising a pair of chains each comprising a CH2 domain and a CH3 domain. An Fv fragment comprises a VH domain and a VL domain. The VH region and VL region comprise framework regions (FRs) either side of each CDR, which provide a scaffold for the CDRs. From N-terminus to C-terminus, VH regions comprise the following structure: N term-[HFR1]-[HCDR1]-[HFR2]-[HCDR2]-[HFR3]-[HCDR3]-[HFR4]-C term; and VL regions comprise the following structure: N term-[LFR1]-[LCDR1]-[LFR2]-[LCDR2]-[LFR3]-[LCDR3]-[LFR4]-C term.
[0139] The term “ScFv molecules” refers to molecules wherein the VH and VL partner domains are covalently linked, e.g. by a flexible oligopeptide. Fab, Fv, ScFv and sdAb antibody fragments can all be all be expressed and / or secreted from expression systems, such as E.coli and mammalian cells thus allowing the facile production of large amounts of the said fragments.
[0140] Whole antibodies, and F(ab’)2 fragments are “bivalent”. The term “bivalent” means that the said antibodies and F(ab’)2 fragments have two antigen combining sites. In contrast, Fab, Fv, ScFv and sdAb fragments are monovalent, having only one antigen combining site.
[0141] Antibodies according to the present disclosure may be detectably labelled or, at least, capable of detection. For example, the antibody may be labelled with a radioactive atom or a coloured molecule or a fluorescent molecule or a molecule which can be readily detected in any other way. Suitable detectable molecules include fluorescent proteins, luciferase, enzyme substrates, and radiolabels. The binding moiety (antibody or fragment thereof) may be directly labelled with a detectable label or it may be indirectly labelled. For example, the binding moiety may be an unlabelled antibody which can be detected by another antibody which is itself labelled. Alternatively, the second antibody may have bound to it biotin and binding of labelled streptavidin to the biotin is used to indirectly label the first antibody.
[0142] A “fragment” of an antibody may comprise any number of residues of a “parental” antibody, whilst retaining target binding ability. A fragment may lack effector function, for example may be entirely unable to bind or show diminished binding to the Fc receptor, relative to the parent. A fragment is typically smaller than the parental antibody. A fragment may comprise 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95% or more of the contiguous or non-contiguous amino acids of the parental antibody. A fragment may comprise 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300 or more contiguous or non-contiguous amino acids of the parental antibody. A fragment may comprise deletions in the Fc region, or of the Fc region. A fragment may retain the CDRs and / or the variable domains of the parental antibody, unaltered. In some embodiments, a fragment is a Fab fragment or an F(ab’)2 fragment. CDR sequences are described herein using the IMGT numbering (Lefranc, M.-P., Immunology Today, 18, 509 (1997)).

[0243] The antibody of the disclosure may have a D at position 98 and / or a T at position 99. The presence of these residues may positively affect stability and / or binding. A computational structure prediction (AlphaFold2) of antibody ATL_0006058 indicated that D98 makes a salt bridge with R75 and T99 is involved in beta-sheet structure. Therefore, based on this prediction maintaining these residues (or residues that are able to establish the same interactions, such as e.g. R, H, K, E instead of D at position 98) is likely to be beneficial (although not strictly necessary), particularly in ATL_0006058 and antibodies derived therefrom (including e.g. including e.g. ATL_0007926, ATL_0007927, ATL_0007928, ATL_0007929, ATL_0007930, ATL_0007931 , ATL_0007932, ATL_0007933, ATL_0007956, ATL_0007467, ATL_0007468, ATL 0007469, ATL_0007470, ATL_0007471 , ATL_0007472, ATL_0007473). A computational structure prediction (AlphaFold2) of antibody ATL_0006026 indicated that D98 makes a salt bridge with R75, however T99 was not indicated to involved in beta-sheet structure in ATL_0006026. Therefore, based on this prediction maintaining D98 is likely to be beneficial (although not strictly necessary, and the amino acid can be replaced by other amino acids that are able to form salt bridges, such as R, H, K, E, as evidenced by the binding of e.g. ATL_7925, which has E98), particularly in ATL_0006026 and antibodies derived therefrom (including e.g. e.g. ATL_0008944, ATL_0008945, ATL_0008946, ATL_0008947, ATL_0007450, ATL 0007819, ATL_0007820, ATL_0007821 , ATL_0007822, ATL_0007823, ATL_0007824, ATL 0007825, ATL_0007826, ATL_0007827, ATL_0007829, ATL_0007889, ATL_0007890, ATL 0007892, ATL_0007893, ATL_0007896, ATL_0007899, ATL_0007900, ATL_0007901 , ATL 0007902, ATL_0007925, ATL_0007952, ATL_0007953, ATL_0007955).

[0270] In embodiments, the antibody of the disclosure does not have an N at position 113. For example, the antibody of the disclosure may have an N or a Q at position 109 and / or an A or Q or S at position 113. The N113 L114 S115 (NLS) motif poses a theoretical liability risk for N-linked glycosylation at the N113 site inLCDR3. Theoretically, N-linked glycosylation in a CDR could lead to perturbation of binding and thus affect function of the antibody and / or impact stability. Accordingly, the presence of an N at position 113 may negatively affect binding and / or stability. In embodiments, the antibody of the disclosure has an A or Q at position 113 and a N at position 109, or a Q at position 109 and a S at position 113. Such embodiments may have even lower risks of chemical modifications which may affect binding and / or stability. A computational structure prediction (AlphaFold2) of antibody ATL_0006026 indicated that positions N109, S113, and L114 are paratope residues. Therefore, based on this prediction maintaining these residues (or residues that are able to establish the same interactions, such as e.g. Q instead of N at position 109 and A or Q instead of S at position 113) is likely to be beneficial (although not strictly necessary), particularly in ATL_0006026 and antibodies derived therefrom (including e.g. including e.g. ATL_0008944, ATL 0008945, ATL_0008946, ATL_0008947, ATL_0007926, ATL_0007927, ATL_0007928, ATL 0007929, ATL_0007930, ATL_0007931 , ATL_0007932, ATL_0007933, ATL_0007956, ATL 0007467, ATL_0007468, ATL_0007469, ATL_0007470, ATL_0007471 , ATL_0007472, ATL_0007473).
[0271] An antibody of the disclosure may have a sequence comprising any or all of the amino acids that are conserved across (i.e. present in all of) ATL_0006026, ATL_0006027; ATL_0006074; ATL_0006075; ATL_0006058, when comparing sequences using IMGT numbering (see Fig. 13).
[0272] An antibody of the disclosure may have a sequence comprising any or all of the amino acids that are conserved across (i.e. present in all of) ATL_0006026, ATL_0006058, ATL_0007925, ATL_0007952, ATL_0007953, ATL_0007955, ATL_0007933, ATL_0007956 when comparing sequences using IMGT numbering (see Fig. 22, Fig. 26). An antibody of the disclosure may have a VH sequence comprising any or all of the amino acids of the VH of ATL_0006026 that are conserved across ATL_0006026, ATL 0007925, ATL_0007952, ATL_0007953, ATL_0007955, ATL_0008944, ATL_0008945, ATL_0008946, and ATL_0008947. An antibody of the disclosure may have a VL sequence comprising any or all of the amino acids of the VL of ATL_0006026 that are conserved across ATL_0006026, ATL 0007925, ATL_0007952, ATL_0007953, ATL_0007955, ATL_0008944, ATL_0008945, ATL_0008946, and ATL_0008947. An antibody of the disclosure may have a VH sequence comprising any or all of the amino acids of the VH of ATL_0006058 that are conserved across ATL_0006058, ATL_0007933, and ATL_0007956. An antibody of the disclosure may have a VL sequence comprising any or all of the amino acids of the VL of ATL_0006058 that are conserved across ATL_0006058, ATL_0007933, and ATL_0007956.Thus, an antibody of the disclosure may have a VH sequence based on the VH sequence of ATL_0006026 and including one or more substitutions provided that the sequence maintains the identity of the amino acids at positions 1 -4, 6-9, 11 -30, 35-59, 64, 66-72, 74-80, 82-96, 1 GO-111 C, 112C-122, and 124-128 in IMGT numbering.

In embodiments, an antibody of the disclosure may have a VL sequence based on the VL sequence of ATL_0006026 and including one or more substitutions provided that the sequence maintains the identity of the amino acid at position 52 (proline 52; P52) in IMGTnumbering. Based on the binding data provided herein, P52 appears beneficial (although not strictly necessary, as evidenced by the binding of numerous variants disclosed herein with the P52L mutation) for binding to 15-PGDH for variants of ATL_6026 (but not variants of ATL_6058). An antibody of the disclosure may have a VH sequence based on the VH sequence of ATL_0006058 and including one or more substitutions provided that the sequence maintains the identity of the amino acids at positions 1-9, 11-27, 29-30, 35-39, 41-48, 50-59, 63-65, 67-72, 74-77, 79-80, 82-84, 86-91 , 93-111 , 112A-121 , and 123-128 in IMGT numbering.

[0291] The antibodies of the disclosure are derived from human antibodies and may therefore be referred to as human antibodies. Antibodies of the disclosure were obtained by pairing the VH and VL of a human VH domain with a human VL domain library, or through serum proteomics followed by native VH-VL pairing Thus, antibodies of the disclosure may differ from naturally occurring antibodies at least by their VH-VL pairing. Antibodies of the disclosure may comprise human VH and / or VL sequences. Antibodies of the disclosure may be formulated as human lgG1 antibodies or variants thereof, such as e.g. LALA lgG1. Antibodies of the disclosure may have a human framework sequence and / or a human Fc domain.
[0292] Antibodies of the disclosure may have a lambda (A) (e.g. that of SEQ ID NO: 88) or kappa (K) (e.g. that of SEQ ID NO: 89) light chain.
[0293] Overall percentage identity of a variable region or full-length heavy light / chain sequence may be combined with specific CDR sequences from the same antibody. Percentage (%) sequence identity is defined as the percentage of amino acid residues in a candidate sequence that are identical with residues in a comparative sequence after aligning the sequences and introducing gaps if necessary, to achieve the maximum sequence identity, and not considering any conservative substitutions as part of the sequence identity. Sequence identity is preferably calculated over the entire length of the respective sequences. Where the aligned sequences are of different length, sequence identity of the shorter comparison sequence may be determined over the entire length of the longer given sequence or, where the comparison sequence is longer than the given sequence, sequence identity of the comparison sequence may be determined over the entire length of the shorter given sequence. Sequence identity may be defined with reference to the algorithm GAP (Wisconsin GCG package, Accelerys Inc, San Diego USA).
[0294] Also described herein are single domain antibodies (sdAbs), otherwise known as nanobodies, comprising the heavy chain CDRs and / or the VH sequence of any antibody described herein. Isolated nucleic acids encoding an antibody, antigen binding fragment, or polypeptide as described herein are provided. Also provided is a vector comprising a nucleic acid described herein, and a host cell comprising the vector. For example, the host cell may be a eukaryotic, or mammalian, e.g. Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO), cell or may be a prokaryotic cell, e.g. E. coli. In some embodiments, the vector is a viral vector, for example a bacteriophage. Further provided are methods for making an antibody, or antibody fragment as described herein, the method comprising culturing a host cell as described herein under conditions suitable for the expression of a vector encoding the antibody, or antibody fragment, and isolating and / or purifying theantibody, or antibody fragment. The method further comprises formulating the antibody or antibody fragment into a composition including at least an additional component.
[0295] Therapeutic uses and in vitro and in vivo effects
[0296] Antibodies described herein may inhibit 15-PGDH thereby altering, such as restoring and / or increasing, circulating PGE2 levels. Antibodies described herein may alter PGE2 levels in an in vitro cell culture. Antibodies described herein may increase levels of circulating PGE2. Antibodies described herein may increase the half-life of circulating PGE2 in vivo. In turn, this increases PGE2-induced signaling pathways implicated in PD, including neuroinflammation, mitochondrial function, oxidative stress, striatal projection neuron activity and / or apoptosis through both EP-receptor and / or non-receptor mediated mechanisms, e.g. via organic anion transporting polypeptides as described in Roth et al., 2012. Accordingly, antibodies described herein may be useful in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease.
[0297] The antibodies described herein are expected to act on the central nervous system indirectly through modulation of extracellular (also referred to as “circulating”) PGE2, which, due to its low molecular weight is able to cross the blood-brain barrier (Delvi et al., 2015). For example, inhibition of 15-PGDH may increase the availability and / or half-life of PGE2, thus resulting in more PGE2 crossing the blood-brain barrier. The half-life of PGE2 in human circulation has been reported to be extremely short, less than 30 seconds. Any increase in half-life of PGE2 in circulation may therefore have a significant effect. Further, as PGE2 and its precursors have been shown to be increased in the brain after peripheral delivery (Dalvi et al. 2015), increasing the availability and / or half-life of PGE2 in the periphery is expected to have an effect on brain levels.
[0298] Antibodies described herein may reduce inflammation, such as neuroinflammation. This may be tested in an in vitro cell culture, for example using iPSC-derived neuronal cells, e.g. IPSC-derived dopaminergic neurons; and / or astrocytes, and / or microglia as described herein. Inflammation may be measured, for example, by measuring the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-6, present in the cell culture IL-6. The levels of IL-6 (and other pro-inflammatory cytokines) may be measured by ELISA, wherein a decrease in IL-6 is indicative of reduced inflammation.
[0299] Antibodies described herein may reduce the abundance of phospho-aSyn129 in cells pre-treated with aSynuclein fibrils, compared to a control condition. This may be tested in an in vitro cell culture, for example using iPSC-derived neuronal cells, e.g. IPSC-derived dopaminergic neurons; and / or astrocytes, and / or microglia as described herein. Antibodies described herein may restore or at least partially restore mitochondrial function after mitochondrial dysfunction induced by exposure of cells to aSynuclein fibrils. This may be tested in an in vitro cell culture, for example using iPSC-derived neuronal cells, e.g. IPSC-derived dopaminergic neurons; and / or astrocytes, and / or microglia as described herein. Mitochondrial function may be tested using a decrease of mitochondrial membrane potential as an indicator of mitochondrial dysfunction. Thus, an antibody described herein may at least partially rescue mitochondrial membrane depolarization induced by exposure to aSynuclein fibrils.
[0300] Antibodies described herein may alter microglial inflammatory state. For example, the antibody may alter, for example reduce, the inflammatory state of microglia in vitro. This may be tested by determiningexpression of the activation marker CD68 on the surface of microglia, for example by flow cytometry. Suitable models include a dopaminergic neurons, astrocytes and microglia triculture as described herein. Antibodies described herein may reduce neuroinflammation in vivo. Antibodies described herein may reduce the levels of one or more inflammatory markers in mouse model (e.g. a C57BL / 6 mouse) of neuroinflammation induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (e.g. LPS exposure via intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection). This may be measured by treating an animal with an antibody and measuring levels of one or more inflammatory markers in the brain and / or plasma of the animal after exposure to LPS. The one or more inflammatory markers may be selected from: nterleukin-1 p (IL-1 p), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a).
[0301] Antibodies described herein may improve or preserve one or more metrics of motor function and / or balance and / or gait and / or postural stability in a model animal, compared to a control. Antibodies of the present disclosure may improve or preserve motor function and / or balance and / or movement and / or postural stability in a model animal. Motor function and / or movement and / or postural stability may be determined using one or more metrics selected from: speed, hind stance time, diagonal interlimb coordination, double support, maximum knee angle, and peak hind leg swing speed, stride time and speed, step width, stance and swing time during a stride, interlimb coordination, toe clearance, iliac crest and hip height, hind limb protraction and retraction, tail position and movement, swing speed during a stride, jerk metric during swing phase, angle ranges and deviations of different joints, vertical and horizontal head movement. Motor function and / or balance and / or postural stability may be determined by measuring the time to fall in a Rotarod test, for example using the method described in the examples of the present disclosure.
[0302] The animal model may be an aged animal, such as e.g. a 22-month old mouse. The animal model may be a mouse model of Parkinson’s disease. The animal model may be an animal (e.g. a 93-95 week old mouse) administered an expression cassette of A53T-mutated alpha synuclein, e.g. in an adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector, for example as described herein. Effects on motor function and / or gait and / or movement and / or posture can be determined using the methods described in examples of the present disclosure. Antibodies described herein may improve one or more metrics of muscle strength and / or muscle function in a subject, optionally a model animal, compared to a control. Antibodies of the present disclosure may increase muscle strength and / or muscle function in a subject, optionally a model animal, compared to a control. For example, the model animal may be a mouse hind limb immobilisation model of disuse atrophy, for example as described in Wu et al., 2023. Antibodies described herein may improve one or more metrics of muscle strength and / or muscle function of a disused muscle or muscle group in a subject, optionally a model animal, compared to a control. Antibodies of the present disclosure may increase muscle strength and / or muscle function of a disused muscle or muscle group in a subject, optionally a model animal, compared to a control. Muscle strength and / or muscle function may be determined by measuring muscle contraction of a muscle or muscle group (e.g. the plantarflexor muscle group) induced by electrical stimulation (e.g. a range of frequencies of electrical stimulation) to determine one or more metrics selected from: isometric force (e.g. maximal peak isometric force), twitch-to-tetanic ratio (a measure of the force of a single muscle twitch compared to the force of a maximal tetanic contraction), the force-frequency relationship (isometric force measured over a range of stimulation frequencies), and the cumulative muscleforce generated across the tested range of frequencies (area under the curve). The maximal peak isometric force (normalised to body weight) may be increased by at least 10%, at least 15%, or at least 18%, compared to a control. The cumulative muscle force generated across the tested range of frequencies (the area under the curve) may be increased by at least 10%, at least 15%, or at least 18%, compared to a control. The isometric force (e.g. maximal peak isometric force) may be normalised against one of body size, body weight, and limb length. The animal model may be an aged animal, such as e.g. an 86-week old mouse. Antibodies of the present disclosure may increase muscle strength and / or muscle function without increasing muscle mass in a model animal, compared to a control. Antibodies of the present disclosure may increase muscle strength and / or muscle function compared to a control, after immobilisation for a predetermined period of time (e.g. at least one week, at least 2 weeks, at least 3 weeks, or about 2 weeks), optionally without increasing muscle mass. Antibodies of the present disclosure may increase muscle strength and / or muscle function compared to a control, after immobilisation for a predetermined period of time (e.g. at least one week, at least 2 weeks, at least 3 weeks, or about 2 weeks) followed by a recovery period of at least 1 week or about 1 week, optionally without increasing muscle mass. Effects on muscle strength and / or muscle function and / or muscle mass can be determined using the methods described in examples of the present disclosure.
[0303] Without wishing to be bound by theory, the effects of the antibodies described herein on muscle strength, muscle function, exercise performance, and / or muscle mass are expected to be mediated indirectly through modulation of PGE2. For example, inhibition of 15-PGDH is expected to increase the availability and / or half-life of PGE2, thus resulting in increased PGE2 signaling, and reducing the effects of muscle atrophy. The antibodies and fragments thereof may find use in therapy.
[0304] A subject to be treated or diagnosed may be any animal or human. The subject is preferably mammalian, more preferably human. The subject may be male or female. The subject may be a patient (i.e. the terms “subject” and “patient” are used interchangeably). Therapeutic uses may be in human or animals (veterinary use). Unless, specified otherwise, the subject is a human.
[0305] Medicaments and pharmaceutical compositions according to aspects of the present invention may be formulated for administration by a number of routes, including but not limited to, parenteral, intravenous, intra-arterial, intramuscular, oral and nasal. The medicaments and compositions may be formulated for injection.
[0306] Pharmaceutical compositions may be prepared using a pharmaceutically acceptable “carrier” composed of materials that are considered safe and effective. “Pharmaceutically acceptable” refers to molecular entities and compositions that are “generally regarded as safe”, e.g., that are physiologically tolerable and do not typically produce an allergic or similar untoward reaction, such as gastric upset and the like, when administered to a human. In some embodiments, this term refers to molecular entities and compositions approved by a regulatory agency of the US federal or a state government, as the GRAS list under section 5204(s) and 409 of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, that is subject to premarket review and approval by the FDA or similar lists, the U.S. Pharmacopeia or another generally recognized pharmacopeia for use in animals, and more particularly in humans. The term “carrier” refers to diluents, binders, lubricantsand disintegrants. Those with skill in the art are familiar with such pharmaceutical carriers and methods of compounding pharmaceutical compositions using such carriers.
[0307] The pharmaceutical compositions provided herein may include one or more excipients, e.g., solvents, solubility enhancers, suspending agents, buffering agents, isotonicity agents, antioxidants or antimicrobial preservatives. When used, the excipients of the compositions will not adversely affect the stability, bioavailability, safety, and / or efficacy of the active ingredients, i.e. the anti-PGDH antibodies used in the composition. Thus, the skilled person will appreciate that compositions are provided wherein there is no incompatibility between any of the components of the dosage form. Excipients may be selected from the group consisting of buffering agents, solubilizing agents, tonicity agents, chelating agents, antioxidants, antimicrobial agents, and preservatives.
[0308] Administration is preferably in a “therapeutically effective amount”, this being sufficient to show benefit to the individual. The actual amount administered, and rate and time-course of administration, will depend on the nature and severity of the disease being treated. Prescription of treatment, e.g. decisions on dosage etc., is within the responsibility of general practitioners and other medical doctors, and typically takes account of the disorder to be treated, the condition of the individual patient, the site of delivery, the method of administration and other factors known to practitioners. Examples of the techniques and protocols mentioned above can be found in Remington’s Pharmaceutical Sciences, 20th Edition, 2000, pub. Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins.
[0309] Antibodies according to the present disclosure may find uses in a variety of medical contexts. Thus, antibodies according to the present disclosure may be used as a medicament, and may be used in the fabrication of a medicament comprising an antibody of the disclosure. Antibodies of the present disclosure may be used in a method of treatment of a disease or disorder, the method comprising administering to a subject an effective amount of an antibody according to the disclosure. Thus, also described herein are antibodies according to the disclosure, for use in a method of treating a subject.
[0310] Pathological aggregation of a-Syn in the form of Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites is a common feature of Parkinson’s Disease (PD) and other synucleinopathies, or synuclein-mediated neurodegenerative diseases, such as dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and multiple system atrophy (MSA) (Goedert et al., 2017), as well Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).
[0311] Accordingly, the subject may be a subject who has been diagnosed as having or being at risk of a synuclein-mediated neurodegenerative disease. The synuclein-mediated neurodegenerative disease may be PD. Subjects deemed at risk of developing PD may be subjects having REM Sleep Behaviour Disorder (RBD). Antibodies of the disclosure have been shown to be able to reduce effects of aging on neurodegeneration, and specifically gait and postural stability. Thus, the subject may be an older subject, such as e.g. a subject over the age of 60, 70, or 80 years old. The subject may be a subject who has been diagnosed as having one or more symptoms of neurodegeneration and / or neuromuscular degeneration. The symptoms of neurodegeneration and / or neuromuscular degeneration may be associated with normal ageing or with a neurodegenerative condition. The subject may be a subject who has been diagnosed as having a neuroinflammation, or a neurodegenerative condition associated with neuroinflammation, for exampleParkinson’s Disease (PD), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), multiple system atrophy (MSA), Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Thus, also described herein is the use of antibodies of the disclosure in the treatment of neurological symptoms associated with aging and / or neurodegeneration and / or neuroinflammation.
[0312] PGDH-15 has been reported to play a role in the development of inflammation (Sun et al., 2021). Accordingly, the subject may a be a subject who has been diagnosed as having or being at risk of an inflammatory disease such as rheumatoid arthritis, skin inflammation such as spontaneous atopic dermatitis and hidradentitis supperativa, and lung inflammation, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI / ARDS), and bronchiolitis obliterans.
[0313] 15-PGDH has been reported to be a major contributor to age related muscular atrophy, for example sarcopenia (Palla et al., 2021). The present inventors have demonstrated that treatment of aged mice with an antibody of the disclosure (referred to herein as ATL6026, although multiple related antibodies are also described herein and expected to have similar effects based on the evidence provided herein) had a profound positive effect in gait and stability. The inventors also demonstrated that this elevation in 15-PGDH levels is not just seen in aged tissues as reported previously, identifying that the levels of 15-PGDH are also significantly upregulated in young mice with an immobilised limb (a limb immobilisation model of disuse atrophy reported in Wu et al., 2023), suggesting that 15-PGDH is also a contributor to disuse atrophy, for example disuse atrophy caused by immobilisation. Furthermore, using the same limb immobilisation model of disuse atrophy the inventors demonstrated that treatment with an antibody of the disclosure (referred to herein as ATL7955, although multiple related antibodies are also described herein and expected to have similar effects based on the evidence provided herein) significantly increased muscle strength and function. Accordingly, the subject may be a subject who has been diagnosed as having or being at risk of a disease or disorder associated with muscle atrophy and / or dystrophy. For example, the disease or disorder may be a myopathy. The disease or disorder may be aging-related muscle atrophy. As used herein, the term "myopathy" refers to a muscular disease in which the muscle fibers do not function properly, typically resulting in muscular weakness. Myopathies include muscular diseases that are neuromuscular or musculoskeletal in nature. In some embodiments, the myopathy is an inherited myopathy. Inherited myopathies include, without limitation, dystrophies (e.g. Duchenne’s muscular dystrophy), myotonias, congenital myopathies (e.g. nemaline myopathy, multi / minicore myopathy, and centronuclear myopathy), mitochondrial myopathies, familial periodic myopathies, inflammatory myopathies (e.g. muscle atrophy as a result of acute or chronic inflammatory conditions) and metabolic myopathies (e.g., glycogen storage diseases and lipid storage disorder). In some embodiments, the myopathy is an acquired myopathy. Acquired myopathies include, without limitation, external substance induced myopathy (e.g., drug-induced myopathy e.g. muscle atrophy induced by treatment with incretin therapies e.g. GIP and / or GLP (e.g. GLP-1) agonists, and glucocorticoid myopathy, alcoholic myopathy, and myopathy due to other toxic agents), myositis (e.g. dermatomyositis, polymositis and inclusion body myositis), myositis ossificans, rhabdomyolysis, and myoglobinurias, and disuse atrophy. In some embodiments, the myopathy is disuse atrophy, which may be caused by a bone fracture (e.g. a hip fracture), by a nerve injury (e.g., spinal cord injury (SCI)), by immobilisation, by bed rest, and / or by obesity (obesity may decrease physical activity bymaking it more challenging to be physically active). The immobilisation may be immobilisation of a bone fracture, for example a immobilisation of a bone fracture by splinting and / or casting. In some embodiments the myopathy is related to a disease or disorder such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), cachexia, e.g. cachexia syndromes due to renal failure, AIDS, cardiac conditions, obesity (e.g. muscle atrophy induced by treatment of obese patients with incretin therapies e.g. GIP and / or GLP (e.g. GLP-1) agonists), and / or cancer. In some embodiments the myopathy is related to ageing (e.g. sarcopenia and / or sarcopenic obesity). Thus, in embodiments, the subject is a subject who has been treated with an incretin therapy.
[0314] The antibodies of the disclosure may be used in therapy with further therapeutic agents. As used herein, a “further therapeutic agent” is an additional compound, protein, vector, antibody, cell or entity with a therapeutic effect. The antibodies may be co-administered with a further therapeutic agent. The antibodies may be co-formulated with a further therapeutic agent. The antibodies may be sequentially administered before or after a further therapeutic agent.
[0315] The present disclosure also provides methods of treatment of a subject who has been diagnosed as having or being at risk of a synuclein-mediated neurodegenerative disease, the methods comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an antibody that binds to and inhibits PGDH. The antibody may be for example an antibody as described herein.
[0316] The present disclosure also provides methods of treatment of a subject who has been diagnosed as having or being at risk of having or developing muscle atrophy and / or dystrophy, the methods comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an antibody as described herein. Also described herein is a method of treating, preventing or alleviating muscle strength and / or function loss, optionally muscle strength and / or function loss associated with immobilization, the method comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an antibody as described herein. Also described herein are antibodies according to the present disclosure, for use in treating, preventing or alleviating muscle strength and / or function loss in a subject in need thereof, such as e.g. a subject who has been diagnosed as having or being at risk of having or developing muscle atrophy and / or dystrophy, or a subject who has been diagnosed as being at risk of having muscle function and / or strength loss associated with immobilization.
[0317] Some methods of the present disclosure involve a sample containing cells. The sample may be a culture of cells grown in vitro. For example, the culture may comprise a suspension of cells or cells cultured in a culture plate or dish.
[0318] Methods according to the present disclosure may be performed, or products may be present, in vitro, ex vivo, or in vivo. The term “in vitro" is intended to encompass experiments with materials, biological substances, cells and / or tissues in laboratory conditions or in culture whereas the term “in vivo" is intended to encompass experiments and procedures with intact multi-cellular organisms. “Ex vivo" refers to something present or taking place outside an organism, e.g. outside the human or animal body, which may be on tissue (e.g. whole organs) or cells taken from the organism.The features disclosed in the foregoing description, or in the following claims, or in the accompanying drawings, expressed in their specific forms or in terms of a means for performing the disclosed function, or a method or process for obtaining the disclosed results, as appropriate, may, separately, or in any combination of such features, be utilised for realising the invention in diverse forms thereof.

[1172] Examples
[1173] The present examples demonstrate the identification of new antibodies with therapeutic potential derived from PD patients that are considered resilient and / or cognitively healthy (Examples 1 and 2), that show excellent kinetic properties (Example 3) and stability (Example 4). In silico investigation of the antibody structure and binding to target was performed (Example 5), showing at least two different binding modes for antibodies that inhibit PGDH. In vitro functional studies are described in Example 6, showing the ability of antibodies of the disclosure to suppress the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL6, the abundance of phospho-aSyn129 (a post-translational modification characteristic for the pathogenic aSynuclein species), and restore mitochondrial function in a model of alpha synucleinopathies (“PD in a dish”, a model of inflammation indicted by alpha synuclein in a dopaminergic neurons, astrocytes and microglia triculture). In vivo functional studies are described in Examples 7 and 8, showing the ability of antibodies of the disclosure to reduce levels of neuroinflammation in vivo in mice exposed to LPS (Example 7), and to improve gait and postural stability in aged mice (Example 8). Variants of the antibodies used in Examples 1-8 are described and characterised in Example 9.
[1174] Materials and methods
[1175] Patient Cohorts
[1176] Two cohorts of patients were used in these examples. The PREDICT-PD cohort (predictpd.com) comprises patients with RBD, classified as resilient if they had a formal diagnosis of RBD but were cognitively healthy (MoCA score >25; Nasreddine et al., 2005), and had a UPDRS (Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale, a rating tool used to gauge the severity and progression of Parkinson’s disease in patients; Poewe 2009)part III minus tremor score < 7. The East London Project (ELPD) cohort is a PD cohort comprising patients classified as progressors if they had a formal diagnosis of PD, a MoCA score <26 and UPDRS part III minus tremor score >6 (Zirra et al., 2022). Age matched controls from the PREDICT-PD cohort were also used. Molecular Indexing of Proteins by Self-Assembly (MIPSA)
[1177] Detailed methods for performing MIPSA are provided in Credle et al., 2021 . Briefly, barcodes are introduced near the 5’ end of transcribed mRNA sequences, upstream of the ribosome binding site (RBS). Reverse transcription (RT) of the 5’ end of in vitro transcribed RNA (IVT-RNA) creates a cDNA barcode, which is linked to a haloalkane-labeled RT primer. An N-terminal HaloTag fusion protein is encoded downstream of the RBS, such that in vitro translation results in the intra-complex (“cis”), covalent coupling of the cDNA barcode to the HaloTag and its downstream open reading frame (ORF) encoded protein product. Immunoprecipitation experiments were performed to identify antigen reactivities in the patient serum samples. Briefly, serum samples diluted 1 OO were incubated with the MIPSA library of in vitro translated proteins. The mixture was then added to protein A and protein G beads (ratio 1 :1). After washing the beads, they were used as input for PCR to amplify barcode sequences. A second PCR step added Illumina adapters and indexes. Sequencing was performed on an Illumina NextSeq 500 with a single end read of up to 75 cycles. Reads were assigned to ORFs using an 'ORF dictionary' generated from sequencing the unselected MIPSA library. Hits were identified by comparing read counts to the beads only control. Multiple barcodes per antigen help to increase hit confidence.
[1178] Recombinant 15-PGDH production
[1179] Recombinant human 15-PGDH encoding residues 3-266 and additional C-terminal Avi- and hexahistidine tag (rhPGDH-Avi-His), a commonly used peptide sequence to allow for site specific biotinylation of proteins with that tag via the use of BirA enzyme, was expressed in E. coli and purified using immobilized Nibaffinity chromatography. Purified rhPGDH-Avi-His protein was frozen in 20 mM Tris-HCI pH 7.0, 150 mM NaCI, 0.5 mM DTT and 10% v / v glycerol. Purified rhPGDH-Avi-His was biotinylated using either BirA biotinprotein ligase standard reaction kit (Avidity, LLC) or EZ-Link™ NHS-PEG4 Biotinylation Kit (Thermo Scientific™, 21455) following the manufacturer’s instructions. The biotinylated products (Avi-linked biotinylated-rhPGDH-Avi-Hi; ALB-rhPGDH and NHz-linked biotinylated- rhPGDH-Avi-His; NLB-rhPGDH-Avi-His respectively) were buffer exchanged into 20 mM Tris-HCI pH 7.0, 150 mM NaCI, 0.5 mM DTT and 10% v / v glycerol. Commercial sources of 15-PGDH were reconstituted in phosphate buffered saline, recombinant human 15-PGDH: rhPGDH-His R&D Systems (5660-DH-010) and rhPGDH-His Sino Biological (11205-H08E) and recombinant mouse 15-PGDH: rmPGDH-His Sino Biological (50531-M08E). Biotinylated rmPGDH-His Sino Biological was produced using EZ-Link™ NHS-PEG4 Biotinylation Kit (Thermo Scientific™, 21455) following the manufacturer’s instructions. The biotinylated rmPGDH-His Sino Biological was buffer exchanged into 20 mM Tris-HCI pH 7.0, 150 mM NaCI, 0.5 mM DTT and 10% v / v glycerol.

[1193] Screening patient (subjects from Parkinson’s cohorts) serum and plasma for 15-PGDH reactivity by ELISA Recombinant human 15-PGDH (rhPGDH-Avi-His)R&D Systems, 5660-DH-010) as well as negative control antigen Lysozyme (MP Biomedicals, 195303) were directly absorbed to ELISA plates at 1 pg / ml (50 pl per well) and incubated overnight at 4°C. The plates were washed with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). Antihuman-15-PGDH (Goat IgG) (BioTechne cat# AF5660) was added as a positive control. Plates were blocked with 200 pl / well of blocking solution (1% Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) w / v in PBS) for 1 hour at room temperature. Following this, the blocking solution was removed and the serum and plasma samples to be assessed were diluted 1 / 100 in blocking solution (1% BSA w / v in PBS) and applied to the plates. Plates were incubated at room temperature for 1 hour. The plates were washed with PBS+0.1% Tween. Goat anti-human F(ab’)2-horseradish peroxidase (HRP) antibody (Jackson Immunoresearch, 109-035-097; Lot: 148466; 1 :10,000 dilution) was then added to each well at 50 pl / well and incubated for 1 hour at room temperature. The plates were washed with PBS+0.1% Tween and 3,3', 5,5;-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) solution (Life Technology, 002023) was added to each well to detect antibody binding. Plates were incubated for 5 minutes at room temperature prior to the addition of stopping solution (0.5 M sulphuric acid). Absorbance read on Molecular Devices FilterMaxF5 plate reader at 450 nm.
[1194] Serum inhibition of 15-PGDH activity screening
[1195] To screen 15-PGDH-reactive serum samples for 15-PGDH inhibition, a modified commercial enzyme activity assay (Abeam ab273327) was used. The assay is illustrated on Fig. 3A. In the assay, 15-PGDH oxidizes a substrate forming intermediates and NADH. The oxidation of NADH reduces a probe generating fluorescence at Ex / Em=535 / 587 nm. The activity of 15-PGDH is proportional to the fluorescent signal. Serum samples were thawed on ice and centrifuged at 4°C to remove debris and aggregates. Supernatant was drawn off for screening. A reaction mix was prepared from activity kit components (buffer, probe, substrate, and developer) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Serum was diluted in kit assay buffer to a range of concentrations was pre-incubated with recombinant rhPGDH-Avi-His on ice. Immediately prior to fluorescence reading, reaction mix was added to each serum sample. Final concentrations of kit components were according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Final top concentration of serum was 1 / 30 neat serum, with seven three-fold serial dilution points prepared. Final concentration of recombinant enzyme was 8 nM. The change in fluorescence at 587 nm was monitored for 40 minutes in awhite 96-well plate at 37°C (BMG Clariostar). An age-matched non-reactive serum sample (SU477) was used as control or the known 15-PGDH small molecule inhibitor SW033291 were used as controls.
[1196] Monoclonal antibody inhibition of 15-PGDH activity screening
[1197] To screen monoclonal antibodies for enzyme inhibition, a modification of the above protocol was used. Purified antibody rather than serum was pre-incubated with recombinant PGDH. In most assays the final top concentration of antibody was 7.8e-7 M, with six five-fold serial dilutions prepared.
[1198] In some versions of the assay the reaction mix (except fluorescent reporter) using commercial components was substituted with TBS pH 7.5, 0.01% Tween-20, 150 pM NAD+ (Thermofisher #124530050), 25 pM PGE2 (Tocris / Biotechne #2296).
[1199] Data were analysed by plotting the change in fluorescence / time against the concentration of antibody. Owing to variability in activity observed between runs, likely due to enzyme instability, and because nonspecific inhibition by any antibody at high concentrations was sometimes apparent, data were normalised to the activity in the presence of an equal quantity of control (non-PGDH-reactive) monoclonal isotype-matched antibody (anti-fluorescein ATL_5338). Where sufficient data were available a 4-parameter [inhibitor] vs response model was fitted to compute IC50 values (Graphpad Prism).
[1200] Multiple independent assays (different days, different sites) were conducted with at least two observations of concentration-dependent reduction in enzyme activity, and at least 15% reduction at one or more concentrations, relative to isotype control required to be assessed as an inhibitor of 15-PGDH. All of antibodies ATL_0006026, ATL_0006058, ATL_0006074, ATL_0006075 and ATL_0006027 were found to inhibit PGDH.
[1201] Discovery of 15-PGDH reactive antibodies from patient plasma by mass spectrometry
[1202] Mass spectrometry-based identification of antibodies from plasma was performed according to methods known in the art (REmAb® from Rapid Novor, Inc). Briefly, purification of IgG was performed using 5 mL of serum. Plasma was incubated with 6 mL protein G resin and washed with phosphate buffered saline (PBS). IgG was eluted with a 0.1 M glycine buffer pH 2.7 and neutralized with 1 M Tris-HCI pH 8.0. Nanodrop was used to determine the concentration of total IgG. Streptavidin Sepharose High Performance (Sigma, GE17-5113-01) was used for depleting the non-specific binding IgG fraction. The collected flowthrough was subjected to a first purification with biotinylated 15-PGDH (ALB-rhPGDH) coupled to the streptavidin beads and incubated at 4°C for 1 hour. The flowthrough from this first enrichment was then used as a substrate for a second purification using the same biotinylated antigen captured on streptavidin beads. The two antigen bound samples were washed with PBS and eluted with glycine buffer. The samples were subjected to various enzymatic digestions prepared using different enzymes (Pepsin, Trypsin, Chymotrypsin, Asp-N, Lyc-C, and non-specific). The digestions for each sample were processed with disulfide reduction, alkylation, and then enzyme digestion. Different antibody chains were separated by chromatography and electrophoresis prior to digestion, mass spectrometry analysis, and data analysis. Digestions were analysed by LC-MS / MS using a mass spectrometer following both bottom-up and middledown strategies. Peptides were characterized from LC-MS / MS data using de novo peptide sequencing and then assembled into chains followed by heavy and light candidate sequences pairing into antibodysequences. A bulk BCR sequencing database search was performed, when available, and sequences were scored based on overall coverage and other metrics.
[1203] Phage library generation
[1204] Phage libraries of scFv molecules displayed on M13 phage were generated by cloning the VH repertoires from five of the subjects identified in the serum ELISA analysis as reactive to 15-PGDH (SU_0001238, SU_0001264, SU_0001242, SU_0001271 & SU_0001286) into a sub-library of phagemid vectors containing a library of VL sequences from healthy donors. Phage display libraries, ranging from size 1.9x 107to 8.2 x 108clones, were generated and phages were produced for phage display selections.
[1205] Phage selections
[1206] Phages were prepared by culturing a volume equivalent to optical density OD600=0.1 of phagemid-carrying TG1 stocks into 50mL of 2TYAG (2TY media supplemented with 100 pg / ml ampicillin and 2% glucose) at 37°C with aeration to optical density GD600=0.6. Rescue was performed by addition of M13K07 helper phage (Invitrogen, cat. 18311-019) for 1 hour, followed by harvesting bacteria by centrifugation (3500xg, 10 mins) and changing media to 2TYAK (TY media supplemented with 100 pg / ml ampicillin and 50 pg / ml kanamycin). The cultures were then incubated overnight at 18°C with aeration to rescue phage particles and then separated from bacteria the next day by (4500xg, 15 mins, 4°C). Finally, phages were PEG-precipitated and 0.22 pm filtered.
[1207] In order to isolate scFv binding to 15-PGDH antigen, three rounds of panning selections were performed on 15-PGDH antigen (rhPGDH-Avi-His). 192 clones were analysed by Sanger sequencing and unique sequences shortlisted for phage ELISA.
[1208] To ensure 15-PGDH epitopes were maximally accessible to the phage-displayed scFv an alternative selection strategy was applied using selections against 15-PGDH in solution to find more binding scFv. Three rounds of soluble selections were performed on the phages against biotinylated 15-PGDH (NLB-rhPGDH-Avi-His), using 200 nM NLB-rhPGDH-Avi-His for round 1 , 50 nM NLB-rhPGDH-Avi-His for round 2 and 10 nM NLB-rhPGDH-Avi-His for round 3 respectively. Blocked phage in 6% milk PBS was added to NLB-rhPGDH-Avi-His and then used to resuspend either Streptavidin (M-270, Invitrogen cat. 65305) or Neutravidin Dynabeads pre-blocked in 3% milk PBS. After incubation and washing, the phages were eluted from the beads with trypsin (100 mg, Sigma, cat. T 1426). Selected phages were rescued as above.
[1209] Phage ELISA
[1210] Binding ELISAs were performed on phage clones identified after 3 rounds of selections to identify clones that were specific to 15-PGDH binding. ELISA detection of binders was determined to either nonbiotinylated antigen (rhPGDH-Avi-His) directly immobilised on the plate or to neutravidin captured biotinylated antigen (ALB-rhPGDH-Avi-His or NLB-rhPGDH-Avi-His). Lysozyme (MP Biomedicals, 195303) or NeutrAvidin (Life Technologies, 31000) alone were used as negative controls for each respective ELISA method. For both methods, antigen coated plates and rescued phage were blocked with 3% milk with PBS for 1 hour (room temperature) and then phages were added to the plates and incubated for 1 hour (room temperature). The plates were washed with PBS+0.1% Tween-20 and then incubated with Anti-M13 HRP (SinoBiologocal, 11973-MM05T-H) for 1 hour at room temperature to detect phage binding. The plateswere washed with PBS+0.1% Tween-20 and TMB solution (Life Technology; 002023) added. Plates were incubated for 5 minutes at room temperature prior to the addition of stopping solution (0.5 M sulphuric acid). Absorbance was read on Molecular Devices FilterMaxF5 plate reader at 450 nm. Hits were sequenced by Sanger sequencing to identify the binding single chain, representing the heavy and light chain.
[1211] Monoclonal antibody binding to 15-PGDH: Single point and multi-point ELIS As
[1212] Selected scFv from the phage that bound specifically to 15-PGDH were reformatted and produced as human IgG. IgG binding to 15-PGDH was tested by single point ELISA against either directly immobilized non-biotinylated rhPGDH-Avi-His (plated 15-PGDH) or to Neutravidin captured biotinylated ALB-rhPGDH-Avi-His (NA captured 15-PGDH), as the antibodies were selected against one or both of the forms of PGDH. This tests whether antibodies bind in an ELISA to the form of PGDH they were selected against. Lysozyme (MP Biomedicals #195303) or NeutrAvidin (Life Technologies, 31000) alone were used as negative controls for each respective ELISA. None of the candidate antibodies bound neutravidin only (control). Antigen coated plates were washed with PBS and blocked with 200 pl / well of 3% milk in 1x PBS for 1 hour at room temperature. IgG being tested as well as an isotype control antibody were added and incubated for 1 hour at room temperature. For single point ELISAs a single concentration of 0.1 mg / mL IgG was tested in triplicate and for multi-point ELISAs Ig were added at top concentration of 0.1 mg / ml with a 10-point 5-fold titration series. Plates were washed with PBS+0.1% Tween-20 and Anti-human F(ab’)2- HRP (Jackson Immunoresearch, 109-035-097) was added and incubated for 1 hour at room temperature to detect antibody binding. Anti-His HRP (Invitrogen, MA1-21315-HRP) was used as an antigen coating positive control. The plate was washed with PBS+0.1% Tween-20 and TMB solution (Life Technology, 002023) added. Plates were incubated for 10 minutes at room temperature prior to the addition of stopping solution (0.5 M sulphuric acid). Absorbance was read on Molecular Devices FilterMaxF5 plate reader at 450 nm. Kinetics characterisation of antibodies binding to 15-PGDH by BL I
[1213] Antibodies identified to bind to 15-PGDH by ELISA had their kinetics measured by biolayer interferometry (BLI) on an Octet Red96e (Sartorius). Streptavidin biosensors (Sartorius 18-5019) were used to capture biotinylated human or mouse 15-PGDH (NLB-rhPGDH-Avi-His and rmPGDH-His (Sino Biological, 50531-M08E) respectively). Kinetics was measured by monitoring the change in signal in real time using the Octet Red96e data acquisition software 12.0 (Sartorius) with the system set to 25°C with biosensors shaking at 1000 rpm. The 15-PGDH loaded biosensors were dipped into 1x Kinetics buffer (Sartorius, 18-1105) to achieve a stable baseline (60 seconds), before being dipped into a concentration series of antibody (7-point 2-fold dilution series from 100 nM top concentration) for 600 seconds to measure association, and then returning to 1x Kinetics buffer for 600 seconds to measure dissociation. A reference biosensor loaded with 15-PGDH dipped into 1 x Kinetics buffer without antibody was used. Data analysis was performed using the Octet Data Analysis HT 12.0 software (Sartorius). Raw data for each biosensor had the reference biosensors subtracted before aligning the data on the y-axis to the average of the last 5 s of the baseline, inter-step correction to the end of the dissociation step, and applying Savitzky-Golay filtering. Processed data was then fit with a 1 :1 binding model using a global fit linked to the antibody in the sample.
[1214] Kinetics characterisation of antibodies binding to 15-PGDH by SPRAntibodies identified to bind to 15-PGDH by ELISA had their kinetics measured by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) on a Carterra LSA instrument. A capture surface was prepared by coating a polycarboxylate sensor chip (HC200M, Carterra) with goat polyclonal anti-human IgG Fc antibody. Four concentrations of the test antibodies were then captured on the surface at two separate locations, with binding confirmed by SPR measurement. The chip was equilibrated to PBS + 0.1% Tween. Human 15-PGDH (NLB-rhPGDH-Avi-His) was injected at a range of concentrations up to 590 nM in PBS + 0.1% Tween. Binding kinetics was measured by monitoring the change in signal in real time using the Carterra control software with the system set to 25°C. Analyte was injected for 300 seconds to measure association, followed by buffer only injection for 1200 s to measure dissociation. Data were referenced and aligned to the capture surface and the buffer-only analyte signal. Processed data was then fit with a 1 :1 Langmuir binding model.
[1215] Thermal shift assay
[1216] Protein thermal shift measurements were performed on an Uncle (Unchained labs). Antibodies were diluted to 1mg / ml or 5mg / ml in 20 mM Histidine Acetate, 150 mM NaCI, pH 5.5 buffer and run through a temperature ramp of 25-95°C increasing at a rate of 0.5°C / minute. Samples were run in triplicate, loading 8.8pl in 3 different wells of a uni (Unchained Labs). Laser settings were set to achieve an initial fluorescence in the 300-350 nm range of 10000 - 50000 counts. Melting temperature (Tm1 / Tm2) and aggregation temperature (Tagg / Tonset) were analysed using Uncle Analysis software v6 (Unchained Labs). Tm measurement was calculated using the 350 / 330nm ratio, while Tonset and Tagg were obtained from SLS read at 266nm and 473nm.
[1217] Size exclusion chromatography (SEC-HPLC)
[1218] Antibody samples were loaded onto an Agilent ZORBAX GF-250 (9.4 mm x 250 mm 4-micron, with Agilent ZORBAX DIOL preparative guard column 9.4 mm x 15 mm 6-micron) column, at 25 pg injection load. Sample solution components were separated by size, in 20 mM Sodium phosphate, 300 mM Sodium sulfate, 100 mM Arginine, pH 6.6 ± 0.2. The column compartment temperature was set at 25°C, the injection flow rate was 0.75 mL / minute, run time was 25 minutes, and the absorbance wavelength was 280 nm. A Thermo Fisher Vanquish Flex LC system was used, with Thermo Fisher Chromeleon 7 chromatography data system for chromatogram processing and peak integration.
[1219] SDS-PAGE
[1220] 2pg of antibody sample was prepared by diluting in water and 2x Laemmli Sample Buffer (Bio-Rad). Sample was analysed at both reduced and non-reduced conditions; reduced samples had the addition of 50mM DTT (dithiothreitol, Sigma-Aldrich). All samples were heated to 95°C for 5 mins and loaded into wells of Bolt 4-12% Bis-Tris Plus Protein gels (Thermo Scientific) alongside 5pl of a molecular weight marker was loaded on each gel, Precision Plus Protein Dual Colour Standards (Bio-Rad, 1610737) and run in Bolt MES SDS Running Buffer (Thermo Scientific). Samples were run at a constant 200 Volts for 23 minutes followed by staining with InstantBlue Coomassie Stain for a minimum of 1 hour, gels were destained with water washes and an Image taken by scanning using the GelDoc Go Imaging system (Bio-Rad).
[1221] Recombinant mAb expressionRecombinant antibodies were expressed transiently from ExpiCHO-S cells using manufacturers protocols for Expifectamine transfections (Thermo). Transfections were cultured for 7 or 12 days with feeds, followed by harvesting by mixed with diatomaceous earth (Sartorius) followed by filtration through a 0.22 pm PES membrane. Harvested supernatant was purified using protein A capture resin and elution in low pH buffer. Elution fractions were buffer exchanged into 20mM Histidine acetate, 150mM sodium chloride pH5.5 buffer and stored at -80C.
[1222] Alpha-synuclein fibrils-induced PD model
[1223] Induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived dopaminergic neurons (Fujifilm; Catalog #: R1148), astrocytes (Fujifilm; Catalog #: R1092), and microglia (Fujifilm; Catalog #: R1131) were utilized to establish a triculture system to recapitulate physiological conditions of the central nervous system. These cells were cultured under standard conditions until they reached the appropriate confluence for experimentation. On day 4 post-establishment of the triculture system, cells were treated with either a-synuclein (aSyn) fibrils at a concentration of 6 pg / ml or phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) as a control. These conditions were maintained for 5 days to allow for the uptake and potential effects of the aSyn fibrils on the cells. Following the incubation period with aSyn fibrils or PBS, cells within the tri-culture system were exposed to 15-PGDH antibody, (ATL-6026 or ATL-6058), or isotype control antibody (ATL-5338). Each antibody was used at a concentration of 70 nM. The cultures were incubated with these antibodies for an additional 48 hours. On day 11 of the culture, supernatant and whole protein extracts were collected. For protein extraction from the cells, a RIPA cell lysis buffer was used. The buffer composition included 50 mM Tris (pH 8.0), 150 mM NaOl, 5 mM EDTA, 1% NP-40, 0.5% sodium deoxycholate, and 1% SDS. Quantification of lnterleukin-6 (IL6) and 15-PGDH in the collected samples was performed using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) service provided by RayBiotech, Inc. (Peachtree Corners, GA, USA). All ELISA assays were conducted according to the manufacturer's protocols. On day 11 of the culture, cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS for 10 min and then washed with PBS. Immunostaining was performed after permeabilization in PBS with 0.1% Saponin and blocking for 30 min in 10% donkey serum in PBS with 0.1% Saponin. Immunostaining was performed with specific primary antibodies: rabbit alpha-synuclein Antibody, pS129 (1 :100; LSbio, LS-C380861-50), chicken MAP2 antibody (1 :400; Thermofisher, PA1 -10005). Primary antibodies were diluted in 10% donkey serum in PBS with 0.1 % Saponin and incubated overnight at 4 °C. After three PBS washes, cells were incubated with secondary antibodies in 10% donkey serum in PBS with 0.1% Saponin (Alexa Fluor-488 (1 :300; Thermofisher, A78948), Alexa Fluor-647 (1 :300; abeam, ab150075) for 1 h at room temperature, and cells were counterstained with DAPI nuclear stain. Cells were then washed with PBS three times and were visualized. Images were acquired with the ECHO Revolve microscope.
[1224] The experimental design for this study is shown in Figure 15.
[1225] Mitochondrial Membrane Potential Assay
[1226] JC-1 probe (Invitrogen, T3168) was used to measure changes in mitochondrial membrane potential of ceils after exposure to 8ug / mL aSyn fibrils PFFs and treatment with PGDH antibodies. Cells were incubated with 2.0 pg / mL of JC-1 probe at 37 °C for 30 minutes, subsequently washed twice with PBS, and then replaced in fresh media solution. Cells were imaged on the ECHO revolve microscope at 10x magnification usingthe 488nm excitation filter and 530 nm emission filter to capture JC-1 monomers and 543nm excitation filter and 590nm emission filter for capturing JC-1 aggregates. Fluorescence intensity was measured using Image J software and the red / green ratio was plotted for each image in GraphPad Prism.
[1227] In vivo LPS challenge mouse model of inflammation
[1228] The mice used in this experiment were male C57BL / 6 ordered from Charles River Laboratories (St. Constant, Quebec, Canada). Two groups of 8 mice were treated at -6 days, -3 days and -4 hours with either ATL6026 or Isotype control mAb (ATL5338) at 60 mg / kg. A further group of 8 mice were treated at -7 days until -4 hours twice daily with 10mg / kg SW033291 (MedChem Express, Cat. No.: HY-16968). LPS (Sigma Aldrich, Cat. No.: L2630) was administered at 0 hours, 0.25 mg / kg via i.p. to all mice. Serial blood was sampled at 4 hours for all mice in life via saphenous collection. Blood was collected at 24 hours terminal via cardiac puncture. Mice were transcardially perfused with 50mL ice-cold PBS (20mM pH 7.4) and brain samples were then collected. Levels of cytokines (IL-6, TNF-a and IL-1 p) in samples were measured using a Meso Scale Discovery System (MSD) customized V-plex panel.
[1229] In vivo assessment of gait and postural stability in aged mice
[1230] Mice were 22-month-old C57BL / 6J (Jackson Laboratories, USA). Altogether 56 mice were enrolled in the study and divided into 4 groups with 14 animals in each group. Two groups of mice were dosed with ATL6026 or Isotype control (ATL5338) at 60 mg / kg via intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection 1x / week for the duration of the study. Two further groups were dosed with small molecule SW033291 (MedChem Express, Cat. No.: HY-16968) at 10 mg / kg or Vehicle 1x / day for the duration of the study. At the end of week 4 predefined points, including limb joints and tail, were marked on the animal’s body to aid the data capture by a high-speed camera (300 fps) and data analysis was performed by converting the movements into data points. Different gait patterns and movements that were analysed were: a) General gait pattern parameters; b) Body posture and balance; c) Fine motor skills. As gait parameters have several (and complex) intercorrelations different gait features, which are manifested in sets of highly correlating parameters, these features were also analysed and identified using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). An overall gait score combines the above kinematic parameters into one single score.
[1231] Variant Antibody Production
[1232] Recombinant antibodies were expressed transiently from CHO-S cells. Following harvest and clarification, supernatant was purified using protein A capture and elution in low pH buffer. Elution fractions were buffer exchanged into 20mM Histidine acetate, 150mM sodium chloride pH5.5 formulation buffer and stored at -80C.
[1233] CE-SDS
[1234] Non reducing Capillary Electrophoresis-SDS was performed on some of the variants to determine monomeric purity. Samples were mixed with SDS-containing buffer and electrokinetically injected into a cartridge capillary. Peaks were measured at 220 nm.
[1235] SEC-HPLC of variant antibodies
[1236] Size exclusion chromatography (SEC-HPLC) was performed to assess purity of antibody batches on a Thermo Fisher Vanquish Flex UHPLC system. Samples were loaded onto a TOSOH Bioscience TSKgelG3000SWxl 7.8 mm ID x 30 cm L column, at 25 pg injection load of pre filtered samples. The autosampler temperature was set at 4°C, the column compartment temperature was set at 25°C. Sample solution components were separated by size in mobile phase 20 mM Sodium phosphate 100 mM Arginine 300 mM Sodium sulfate pH 6.6 with a flow rate of 0.5 mL / min for 40 minutes. Chromeleon 7.3.1 software was used for analyzing the chromatograms at measurement wavelength of 280 nm (4 nm bandwidth), using drop perpendicular peak integration unless specified. Monomer purity was recorded as the relative of total area under the largest peak.
[1237] Biolayer interferometry (BLl) characterisation of variant antibodies
[1238] For the initial binding screen, anti-human Fc biosensors were equilibrated to assay buffer and immersed in a 5 pg / mL solution of test antibody. Sensors loaded with antibody were immersed in concentration series of up to 400 nM purified recombinant human 15-PGDH, and kinetic association data were acquired. The sensors were returned to assay buffer and kinetic dissociation data were acquired. Data were referenced against buffer-only analyte and isotype-control-loaded (ATL_5338) sensor data.
[1239] For the final binding screen, the assay was modified to support kinetic characterisation. Test antibody loaded anti-human-Fc biosensors were immersed in a dilution series of recombinant human 15-PGDH (SEQ ID NO: 173 or SEQ ID NO: 83), cynomologous monkey 15-PGDH (SEQ ID NO: 170), recombinant mouse 15-PGDH (SEQ ID NO: 85) and recombinant rat 15-PGDH (SEQ ID NO: 172) orthologue analytes at a top concentration of 40 nM (ATL_6026 variants) or 20 nM (ATL_6058 variants). Data were referenced as before and fitted to 1 :1 kinetic binding model, which was used to calculate a KD value for each variant. All BLl measurements were carried out using a Sartorius Octet Red 96e instrument at 25°C. The assay buffer was 10 mM HEPES, 150 mM NaCI, 3 mM EDTA, 0.05% v / v P20.
[1240] Inhibition screening of variant antibodies by fluorescence based enzymatic activity assay
[1241] A BMGLabtech CLARIOstar was used to measure fluorescence intensity with emission set to 460 nm (10 nm bandwidth), and excitation set to 355 nm (10 nm bandwidth) from low volume opaque white plates. The samples were mixed with 15-PGDH in the plate wells, with NAD+ and PGE2 injected during the program run. The assay buffer was 0.1 M Tris-HCI, pH 8.0, 0.01% Tween-20 with NAD+ and PGE2 stock solutions prepared in 0.5 M Tris-HCI, pH 8.0. 15-PGDH enzyme stock solution was prepared in 5 mM Tris-HCI, pH 8.0, 150 mM NaCI, 0.01% Tween-20.
[1242] The assay was based on the principle of conversion of non-fluorescent NAD+ to fluorescent NADH catalyzed by 15-PGDH in the presence of substrate PGE2. Inhibition of 15-PGDH was monitored by measuring the reduction in fluorescence signal.
[1243] For screening, a four-point 10-fold dilution series was used to compare inhibition to the parent by comparing the slope of the increasing fluorescence signal. The isotype control or a non-binding antibody was used as a negative control, while a no-PGDH mix or small molecule inhibitor SW033291 (MedChem Express, Cat. No.: HY-16968) was used as the positive control (data not shown). Maximum inhibition was calculated from the linear model of taking ARFU of the 0 nM concentration of the sample as 100% activity (0% inhibition), and ARFU of zero as 0% activity (100% inhibition).
[1244] Thermostability assessment of variant antibodies using SYPRO thermal shift assayThe Unchained Labs UNcle platform was used to generate the thermal melting profile of mAbs in the presence of SYPRO Orange (Thermo Fisher #S6651). The mAbs were prepared at < 5 mg / mL in 20 mM Histidine acetate, pH 5.5, 150 mM sodium chloride, then mixed in a one-to-one ratio with SYPRO Orange diluted 40-fold with the mAb formulation buffer. 8.8 pL of this mix was loaded into a UNi cuvette chamber in triplicate for each mAb. The Tm using SYPRO program was used with the thermal ramp set from 25°C to 95°C at 0.5°C / minute. The results were analyzed with Uncle Analysis V 6.0.
[1245] Retrogenix Analysis
[1246] This was performed by Charles River (UK) using their proprietary Retrogenix Cell Microarray Technology (see www.criver.com / products-services / discovery-services / screening-and-profiling-assays / retrogenix-cell-microarray-technology).
[1247] Hindlimb Casting for in vivo limb immobilisation model of disuse atrophy
[1248] Mice were anaesthetised via inhalation (~5% isoflurane, adjusted or maintained to effect), placed on a thermostatically controlled table where anaesthesia was maintained via nose-cone (~3% isofluorane, adjusted or maintained to effect). For each mouse the right hindlimb was wiped with povidone-iodine, then ethanol, and loosely wrapped in surgical gauze. A custom-made plastic immobilization device based on Moore et al 2022 were printed using an SLA printer (Form3) using clear resin, and then placed on the limb. The device was fixed to the hindlimb using Vetbond™ tissue adhesive and the mouse was returned to its cage.
[1249] In vivo assessment of plantarflexor muscle strength and function
[1250] Muscle performance was measured in vivo with a 305C muscle lever system (Aurora Scientific Inc., Aurora, CAN). Anaesthesia was accomplished via inhalation (~5% isoflurane, adjusted or maintained to effect), and the animal placed on a thermostatically controlled table where anesthesia maintained via nose-cone (~3% isofluorane, adjusted or maintained to effect). The knee was isolated using a pin pressed against the tibial head and the foot firmly fixed to a footplate on the motor shaft. For the plantarflexor muscle group, contractions were elicited by percutaneous electrical stimulation of the tibial nerve. Optimal isometric twitch torque was determined by increasing the current with a minimum of 30 s between each contraction to avoid fatigue. Force Frequency: A series of stimulations was then performed at increasing frequency of stimulation (0.2ms pulse, 500ms train duration): 1 , 20, 40, 50, 60, 80, 100, 150Hz. Maximal peak isometric force, and force-frequency relationship were plotted. Body weight was measured and served as a normalization.
[1251] X-ray crystallography
[1252] Recombinant human PGDH was produced in E. coll (BL21-CodonPlus (DE3)-RIPL Competent Cells) using a construct containing PGDH with a C-terminal his tag which was used for purification (SEQ ID NO: 173). The Fab fragment of ATL_6026 was produced by transient transfection of ExpiCHO and purified via the CH1 domain. Both components were purified by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) before being mixed together and the complex further purified by another SEC step. The complex was then screened for crystallisation using commercial crystallisation screens. X-ray diffraction data was collected from crystalsgrown in 0.1 M Tris pH 7.1-8.9, 20-40% PEG Smear Low, with protein :reservoir ratio 1 :1 , and cryo protected with 50% PEG 320-430 (among many other formulations that had a similar composition and pH). The best crystal diffracted to 3.35A in space group P63. Some of these crystals were used in seeding experiments where 20 nl of seed stock was added to each drop in another set of commercial screens. Harvested crystals were screened, and the best data was obtained from crystals grown in 0.1 M TRIS pH 8.5 pH, 40% PEG 400, 0.2 M LiSO4 (among many other formulations that had a similar composition and pH). This dataset was processed with Xia2-Dials in P212121 space group to resolution 2.99 A. Multiple Molecular Replacement trials were done using various combinations of protein data bank (PDB) models, using both MolRep and Phaser software. The best solution was found using 2GDZ (PGDH monomer complexed with NAD+; PDB ref : pdb_00002gdz) in combination with a predicted Fab structure subdivided into variable domains and constant domains. The solution with 2 copies of each of these three components yielded R / Rtree of 0.24 / 0.33 after single round of restrained refinement in the program Refmac. Alternating model building in the program Coot and refinement in Refmac produced a final model with R I Rtree of 0.226 I 0.283. Data collection and refinement statistics are set out in Table 2B. The model contains two molecules of PGDH and two molecules of the Fab in the asymmetric unit. The asymmetric unit is the area within the crystal lattice that contains the molecules that are repeated throughout the crystal.

[1290] In vivo assessment of motor function in mouse model of Parkinson’s disease
[1291] Mice (Male C57BL / 6, 93-95-weeks old, from Jackson Laboratories) were acclimated at least 3 weeks following arrival. Following acclimation, baseline weights were measured and then assigned to groups in such a manner that there are no significant differences in body weights at baseline.

[1297] Table 2C. Summary of treatment groups for in vivo assessment of motor function in mouse model of Parkinson’s disease.
[1298] On the day of the study start, mice were treated with test article (TA) Y2490 (a murine lgG2a LALA version of ATL_7955) or isotype control (I.P. QW) and were then dosed once a week until study end. Three days later, mice underwent delivery of the AAV (an expression cassette of A53T-mutated alpha synuclein in an adeno-associated virus vector) to the substantia nigra by stereotactic injection (Figure 32B). Animals received a unilateral infusion of an AAV1 / 2 vector expressing human a-synuclein (aSyn) carrying an A53T missense mutation. The expression is driven by the chicken beta actin (OBA) promoter hybridized with the cytomegalovirus (CMV) immediate early enhancer (IEE) sequence. The vector additionally comprises the enhanced woodchuck post-transcriptional regulatory element (wPRE), plus a polyadenylation (PolyA) sequence from bovine growth hormone (BGH).
[1299] An AAV1 / 2- null vector without the above-described expression cassette served as a control for an AAV infusion. Stereotactic infusions along with all handling of the viral material were carried out in a biosafety level 2 (BSL-2) laminar hood (BioWizard Golden line 130, Kojair). Surgical procedures and housing of theanimals until up to 1 week after the AAV1 / 2- infusion was conducted according to BSL-2 level safety regulations (Council Directive 90 / 679 / EEC). After the surgical preparations were completed, a midline skin incision was made on the scalp, and the skin reflected to expose the skull. Using a dental drill, a small craniectomy was made at the selected coordinates relative to bregma (see below) without damaging dura mater.
[1300] Stereotaxic infusion of AAV1 / 2-null or AAV1 / 2-A53T (5.1 x 1012 vg / mL) was performed as follows: A 30-G beveled gastight injection needle (Hamilton Neuros) was connected to a 10-pL Hamilton 1701 RN micro syringe (10 pl) mounted on a digitally guided infusion unit (Digital Lab Standard™, Harvard Apparatus) and pump (Pump 11 , Elite Nanomite, Harvard Apparatus). The needle was lowered to the desired D / V level. Using rate of 0.2 pL / min, altogether 2 pL of the AAV solution was delivered unilaterally to the right (ipsilateral) substantia nigra (SN). After completed infusion, the needle was left in place for an additional 5 minutes prior to slowly withdrawing it. Finally, the incision was sutured and disinfected.
[1301] The following coordinates relative to bregma were used for infusion of the viral material into the mouse SN: AP: -3.0 mm (posterior from bregma) ML: +1 .3 mm DV: -4.2 mm (from the brain surface)
