- PEG polyethylene glycol
- U93/15199 glycosylation modification
- the PEG-modified protein can prevent hydrolysis without causing serious side effects.
- the coupling of PEG to the target protein belongs to non-specific covalent binding. This random coupling hinders the interaction between the target protein and its receptor to varying degrees. In vivo activity is reduced.
- Increased glycosylation can increase the molecular weight of the target protein, especially for proteins that are at the renal filtration threshold ( ⁇ 30KD), which can reduce the sensitivity of proteins to protease hydrolysis.
- Korean Patent Application Publication No. KR10-2013-0029713 discloses a method of attempting to increase the half-life in vivo by introducing at least one mutation into the ⁇ -1 antitrypsin to add an N-glycosyl group.

- Engineering technology has not been widely used.
- An Fc fusion protein is a novel recombinant protein produced by fusion of a biologically active functional protein molecule (a soluble ligand, a receptor or other biologically active substance requiring an extended half-life) with an Fc fragment by techniques such as genetic engineering.
- the fusion protein not only retains the biological activity of the functional protein molecule, but also prolongs the half-life of the fusion protein and enhances its stability.
- the interchain disulfide bond of the Fc fragment facilitates the formation of a dimer of the fusion molecule, thereby enhancing ligand binding.
- the ability to enhance biological activity; the introduction of an Fc fragment also facilitates increased expression levels of the fusion molecule in mammalian cells.
- manufacture of a fusion protein containing an Fc region linked to a human IgG protein will help to prolong the circulating half-life of the drug and/or increase its biological activity.

- hCG chorionic gonadotropin
- CTP contains 37 amino acid residues with four O-glycosylation sites.
- the terminal is a sialic acid residue.
- CTP can increase the glycosylation level of the protein and increase the activity of the target protein, while the negatively charged, highly sialylated CTP can resist the clearance of the kidney, thereby prolonging the half-life of the protein in vivo.
- U.S. Patent No. 13,195,931 discloses a method for ligating the growth hormone half-life by only about 6-fold by attaching the chorionic gonadotropin carboxy-terminal peptide (CTP) to hGH, but does not mention several hGH/CTP chimeras.
- the present inventors have creatively used a CTP polypeptide having a plurality of O-glycosyl sites as part of a linker peptide for ligation of hGH and Fc fragments, rather than acting as a fusion ligand due to its natural glycosylation site
- the half-life of the fusion protein can be further prolonged, the bioavailability is improved, and the steric hindrance effect of the fusion ligand Fc on hGH is greatly reduced, thereby maintaining high biological activity.

- Sex
- hGH-L-CTP-vFc Compared with recombinant hGH, hGH-L-CTP-vFc has a simple purification step and high purification efficiency.
- the Fc element is derived from the constant region Fc fragment of immunoglobulin IgG, which plays an important role in eradicating the immune defense of pathogens.
- the effector function of Fc-mediated IgG is exerted through two mechanisms: (1) binding to cell surface Fc receptors (Fc ⁇ Rs), digestion of pathogens by phagocytosis or cleavage or killer cells via antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) pathway , or (2) binding to C1q of the first complement component C1, eliciting a complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) pathway, thereby lysing the pathogen.
- Fc ⁇ Rs cell surface Fc receptors
- ADCC antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity
- CDC complement-dependent cytotoxicity
- the Fc region of the fusion protein preferably does not have adverse effector functions and thus does not dissolve. Or remove these target cells. Therefore, the Fc region of hGH-Fc must be insoluble, and the Fc region is preferably inactive in binding to Fc ⁇ Rs and Clq to trigger effector functions.
- IgG1 and IgG3 efficiently bind to Fc ⁇ Rs, and the binding affinity of IgG4 to Fc ⁇ Rs is low, and the binding of IgG2 to Fc ⁇ Rs is too low to be determined, so human IgG2 has almost no ADCC effect.
- human IgG1 and IgG3 can also efficiently bind to C1q to activate the complement cascade.
- Human IgG2 binds relatively weakly to C1q, whereas IgG4 does not bind to C1q (Jefferis R et al, Immunol Rev, 1998, 163: 59-76), so the human IgG2 CDC effect is also weak.
- the plasma half-life of IgG depends on its binding to FcRn, which typically binds at pH 6.0 and dissociates at pH 7.4 (plasma pH). By studying the binding sites of the two, the site of binding to FcRn on IgG was engineered to increase the binding ability at pH 6.0. Mutations in some residues of the human Fc ⁇ domain important for binding to FcRn have been shown to increase serum half-life. In particular, in human Fc ⁇ 1, when three residues were replaced by the other 19 conventional amino acids, some point mutations showed increased FcRn binding affinity (Hinton et al, J Biol Chem, 279(8): 6213-6216, 2004). Hinton et al.
- the antibody has improved pharmacokinetic parameters compared to wild-type antibodies, increased in vivo exposure, reduced clearance, and improved subcutaneous bioavailability (Datta-Mannan A et al. MAbs. Taylor & Francis, 2012, 4(2): 267- 273.).

- FSH follicle stimulating hormone
- LH luteinizing hormone
- TSH thyrotropin
- hCG chorionic gonadotropin
- the half-life of hCG is significantly prolonged, mainly due to the unique carboxy terminal peptide (CTP) on its ⁇ -subunit (Fares FA et al, Proc Natl Acad Sci USA, 1992, 89: 4304-4308). ).
- CTP contains 37 amino acid residues with four O-glycosylation sites and a terminal sialic acid residue. Negatively charged, highly sialylated CTP is resistant to the clearance of the kidneys, thereby prolonging the half-life of the protein in the body.
- the inventors creatively add at least one CTP polypeptide after a suitable length of flexible linker peptide such that the half-life of the fusion protein is further extended and the bioavailability is increased.
- a CTP peptide between hGH and an Fc variant corresponds to the addition of a rigid linker peptide.
- This aspect ensures that the N-terminally fused hGH does not affect the binding site of the Fc variant and FcRn, thereby affecting the half-life; in addition, the Fc Protein A binding site is important for the purification step in the preparation process, and the CTP is guaranteed to N- The end-fused hGH also does not "cover" its binding site to Protein A.
- the addition of CTP also allows the Fc fragment of about 25 kD size to not interfere with the correct folding of the N-terminally fused hGH, thereby causing a decrease or loss of its biological activity/function.

- the gene sequences encoding the hGH leader peptide and mature hGH as well as the different lengths of flexible peptide linkers, different lengths of CTP rigid peptides and different IgG Fc variants are artificially optimized CHO cell-preferred codons obtained by chemical synthesis.
- the fusion gene after sequencing verification was digested with SpeI and EcoRI, and then inserted into the corresponding restriction sites of the expression plasmid PXY1A1 which was modified with PCDNA3.1 as a template to obtain a fusion gene expression plasmid pAPG.
- the PXY1A1 plasmid includes, but is not limited to, the following important expression components: 1) human cytomegalovirus early promoter and mammalian cells with high exogenous expression of the desired enhancer; 2) dual screening marker with kanamycin resistance in bacteria sexuality, G418 resistance in mammalian cells; 3) Murine dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) gene expression cassette, when the host cell is DHFR gene-deficient, methotrexate (MTX) can amplify the fusion gene And the DHFR gene (see U.S. Patent 4,399,216).

The ELISA results showed that the transient expression levels of several plasmids under these conditions were similar, but their activities showed large differences (Table 2).
- APG-1 we defined the molar activity of APG-1 as 100%.
- the activity of APG-2 was 80.9% of APG-1, indicating that the elongation of the peptide linker alone did not effectively improve the activity of the fusion protein, i.e., the steric hindrance effect of each other could not be attenuated with the extension of the peptide linker.
- Even an excessively long peptide linker not only does not increase the activity of the fusion protein, but instead causes the protein to fold in error and is secreted as an inactive multimer.
- APG-4 in which CTP was placed at the Fc C-terminus was only 61.3% of APG-3 in which CTP was placed at the Fc N-terminus, and the activity of APG-4 was similar to that of APG-1 without CTP.
- the activity of APG-3 is higher than that of APG-4, and the activities of APG-5, APG-6 and APG-7 are much higher than other fusion proteins.

- the secreted rate was determined for further analysis of the subcloned cell lines. A cell line having a secretion rate level of more than about 30 (preferably about 50) ⁇ g/10 6 (i.e., millions) of cells per 24 hours is adapted to suspension culture using serum-free growth medium.
- the fusion protein is then purified using conditioned medium.
- the conditioned medium containing the fusion protein was titrated to pH 7-8 with 1 N NaOH and then filtered through a 0.45 micron nitrocellulose filter.
- the filtrate was loaded onto a phosphate buffered saline (PBS) equilibrated Protein A column. After the fusion protein is bound to the Protein A column, the effluent components are discarded.
- the column was washed with PBS until the OD value at 280 nm was less than 0.01.
- the bound fusion protein was then eluted with 0.1 M citrate buffer pH 3.75.
- the eluate was neutralized with 0.4 volume of 1 M K 2 HPO 4 and the fractions containing the purified protein were combined and dialyzed against PBS. It was then filtered through a 0.22 micron nitrocellulose filter and stored at 4 °C. Protein products were identified and analyzed by SDS-PAGE under non-reducing conditions.
- the fusion protein was quantified by BCA protein analysis using BSA as a standard.
- Example 5 In vitro biological activity analysis of fusion protein
- the in vitro biological activity of the recombinant hGH-L-CTP-Fc fusion protein was examined using Nb2-11 cell proliferation.
- Mouse lymphoma cell Nb2-11 (US ATCC cell bank) was cultured normally in Fischer's medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum. Using a serum-free medium, the fusion protein was diluted 3-fold at 1000 ng/ml, and 8 samples of different concentrations were obtained, 100 ⁇ l per well, added to a 96-well plate, and the medium was a negative control.
- the cells in the log phase growth phase were taken, and the cells were washed once with serum-free medium to adjust the density to 3 ⁇ 10 6 cells per ml, and 100 ⁇ l per well was added to the above 96-well plate.
- the cells were cultured for 48 hours at 37 ° C in a 5% CO 2 incubator, and cell proliferation was measured using a CCK-8 kit (Cell Counting Kit, purchased from Shanghai Shengsheng Biotechnology Co., Ltd.).
- the absorbance at 450 nm was measured with a microplate reader, and the OD reading was plotted against the concentration of the fusion protein, and the resulting dose response curve was used to calculate the biological activity of the fusion protein.
- Figure 2 shows the ability of hGH fusion protein to stimulate proliferation of Nb2 cells.
- Table 3 EC50 values (half maximal effective concentration, EC 50 ) different fusion proteins. Since the amino acid at the C-terminus of growth hormone is closely related to its function, Fc directly linked to the C segment of hGH affects its biological activity. After the addition of the linker peptide to hGH and Fc, the activity of the hGH fusion protein is increased. As can be seen from the results, the activity of APG-3 was nearly doubled compared with APG-1.
- CTP exerts its own function on the one hand, and on the other hand, as a rigid linker peptide between Fc and hGH, CTP is coupled with a flexible peptide, which allows the fusion protein to fold into a more favorable three-dimensional structure, ensuring hGH Biological activity.
- PEG-rhGH (Changchun Jinsai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.) high, medium and low doses.
- the groups were 27 IU/kg/7d (SH), 9 IU/kg/7d (SM) and 3 IU/kg/7d (SL), respectively.
- the high, medium and low doses of APG-3 were 27 IU/kg/7d (TH). , 9 IU / kg / 7d (TM), 3 IU / kg / 7d (TL).
- Different doses of APG-3 fusion protein and PEG-rhGH were administered once a week, ie, d1, d7, d14, d21, and d28, for 5 weeks, for a total of 5 times, and the model group was given a vehicle.
- Each rat was weighed at the same time every day after administration, and the weight gain of the rats was calculated every day, and the experiment was terminated on the 35th day (d35), and the rats were weighed.
- the pituitary rats were 7 weeks old when they started to be administered. They were adult rats once a week. After 5 weeks, the rats were 12 weeks old and were adult rats. After the growth period, the growth was about to stagnate. .
- the body weight of the model group did not change, and there was no increase, while the body weight of APG-3 and the positive control drug PEG-rhGH increased significantly (P ⁇ 0.01).
- the effect relationship indicates that APG-3, like PEG-rhGH, increases body growth and increases protein synthesis.
- the ⁇ bw of each dose group showed a significant difference; on the 35th day after the administration, APG-3 had a very significant effect on the weight gain of the rat, and the high dose APG-3 induced the pituitary.
- the weight gain ( ⁇ bw value) of the resected rats was about 1.5 times higher than that of the high dose PEG-rhGH group; while the high dose PEG-rhGH induced weight gain was slightly better than the medium dose APG-3, and the growth trend of the growth curve from d26 Smooth. This may Because APG-3 should have a longer in vivo half-life than PEG-rhGH, this in vivo accumulation effect makes the APG-3 group have a steeper growth curve after the third administration.
- the rats were subjected to a dark avoidance test.
- the rat escaping instrument uses a plastic box that is divided into two chambers, light and dark. There is an arched small door between the light and dark boxes. The bottom of the two boxes are copper grids. The bottom of the chamber has a copper grid and can be energized. The voltage is 36V.
- the rats were first placed in a bright room illuminated by strong light, and they were found to find the passage between the light and dark chambers and enter the dark room. The rats were repeatedly trained until they could be found within 60s.
- the dark room is energized to give 36V, 50Hz AC electrical stimulation once, lasting about 5s, let the rats rest for 30s and then repeat the above process until In the Ming room, he did not dare to enter the darkroom for more than 300s.
- the rats were repeatedly trained in the darkness reaction box, and the rats were shocked and fled to the bright room.
- the rats were first placed in a clear box, adapted to 5 min, and the small door was opened. The time when the rat entered the dark box from the bright box was the darkness incubation period. The rats entered the dark box, and the bottom of the dark box was stimulated by alternating current.
- Rats Then escaped into the dark room, within 5 minutes, the number of times the rats were shocked by entering the black box was the number of shuttles.
- the darkness meter automatically records the number of times the rat enters the darkroom within 5 minutes, which is the number of shuttles, and the time of entering the darkroom for the first time, which is the darkness incubation period, and statistical analysis (measured by the pharmacological laboratory, the instrument used is the pharmacology room of Beijing Drug Testing Institute). ).
- Avoiding darkness avoidance experiments is a common method for screening nootropics. It is established by using the animal's good darkness (light and dark) and fear and memory of aversive stimuli (such as electric shock). One of the methods of memory performance in rats. Judging criteria are that the longer the animal avoids dark latency, the less the number of shuttles, and the stronger the animal's ability to learn and remember. It can be seen from Table 5 that the model group has the shortest latency, the most frequent shuttle times, and the worst learning and memory ability.
- the APG-3 dose group has a long time to avoid darkness (prolonged by 290% ⁇ 1220%), the APG-3 high- and medium-dose group and the PEG-rhGH middle-dose group and the model group were significantly different (P ⁇ 0.05) (the SH group has a large gap within the group, there is no statistical significance)
- the number of shuttles in each dose group of APG-3 was significantly reduced, and the difference was significant compared with the model group (P ⁇ 0.05).
- the results showed that APG-3, like the positive drug PEG-rhGH, had a certain effect on improving the cognitive function and puzzle of pituitary rats.
- IGF-1 is an important growth factor on the growth axis. It has a variety of physiological functions. In addition to regulating the growth of the body, it has a mitotic effect on many cell lines, including promoting osteoblast proliferation and differentiation, and increasing osteoblast activity. And the amount that prevents osteoblast apoptosis. Growth hormone is regulated by growth of IGF-1. At present, more studies suggest that changes in serum IGF-1 levels are relatively reliable and sensitive indicators for determining the efficacy of GH therapy.
- IGY-1 insulin-like factor
- the length of the tail root to the tip of each rat ie the length of the tail (cm) was measured by a measuring tape.
- the sacrificed rats were harvested from the liver, the attached tissues were removed, washed with physiological saline, and the filter paper was blotted to dry the surrounding blood (g).
- the sacrificed rats were harvested and the left humerus was removed.
- the attached muscles and connective tissues were removed. Neutral 10% formaldehyde was stored.
- the tissue samples were excised from the median sagittal plane at the top of the proximal humerus and harvested to a thickness of 3 mm.
- the paraffin was embedded and sectioned. After staining with hematoxylin eosin (HE), the neutral resin was sealed, observed by light microscopy and photomicrographed.
- HOLOGIC dual energy X The line bone densitometer (Hologic, USA) was used to determine the bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content (BMC) of the rat femur using special software for small animals. At the time of measurement, 7 rats in each group were measured together, and the BMD and BMC values of the central and distal ends of the femur were separately measured and measured.
- Bone mineral density is the mineral mass contained in the unit bone area in the bone tissue of the body, and is one of the important factors affecting bone strength. It is a commonly used index for evaluating bone strength.
- APG-3 and PEG-rhGH have the same effect of increasing bone mineral content, can promote bone calcification, increase bone density, promote bone cell proliferation, increase its activity, and strengthen bone mineralization process.
- the bone mass is increased; therefore, it is clinically expected to be used for the treatment of osteoporosis, especially for relieving bone loss due to aging.
- the tibia specimen was subjected to conventional decalcification and embedding, and a 4 ⁇ m thick tissue section was prepared, and the longitudinal section was taken for HE staining.
- the sections were subjected to pathological observation and microphotographing ( ⁇ 2), and the image pro insight 8.0 software was used for bone morphology measurement. Sections of 7 rats in each group, each section was taken for central field of view measurement, calculation of bone area (Tissear Area, T.Ar); Trabecular Bone Area (Tb. Ar), trabecular circumference ( Trabecular Perimeter, Tb. Pm), Trabecular thickness (Tb.
- the pathological sections of the left tibia of the rats were observed by morphological observation, micrograph and data analysis.
- the conclusions were as follows: except for the largest separation of the trabecular bone in the model group, the other parameters were the lowest; the pathological observation was The trabecular bone of the model group is slender and pale, with poor structural integrity, with distortion and fracture. The trabecular bone is short and the growth is not good. The size of the medullary cavity is different, and the hematopoietic cells in the cavity are reduced. The trabecular thickness of each dose group increased, and the APG-3 medium dose group increased (P ⁇ 0.01). The other parameters of APG-3 increased significantly (P ⁇ 0.01 or P ⁇ 0.05). As shown in Fig.
- the pathological morphology was observed as TH group, TM group and SH group.
- the trabecular bone was relatively thick, full and dark, and the trabecular bone structure was intact, without distortion or fracture, and the growth was good. Smaller, the number of red blood cells in the lumen is larger, and the trabecular bone structure of the TL group is better than the model group. The greater the separation of the trabecular bone, the greater the distance between the trabecular bone, the bone The poorer the structure, the increased bone resorption, and osteoporosis may occur.
- model group>SL>TL>SM>TM>SH>TH suggesting that APG-3 and PEG-rhGH can improve bone quality loose.
- the elimination phase half-life of PEG-rhGH drug on SD rats excised from the pituitary gland was 9.89 h, and the peak time was about 24 h.
- the T 1/2 of the high-dose and medium-dose groups of the fusion protein were 11 h and 12 h, respectively, and did not change substantially with the change in dose.
- the APG-3 fusion protein has a longer half-life.
- the combined Fc variant effectively prolongs the half-life, and on the other hand introduces a CTP rigid structure.
- the negatively charged, highly sialylated CTP is resistant to the kidney. Its scavenging effect further extends the half-life of the fusion protein.
- the peak time of the fusion protein drug was about 8 hours, and the APG-3 fusion protein was more effective than the 24-hour peak of PEG-rhGH.
- APG-3 exhibits superior performance in terms of biological activity, bioavailability, and pharmacokinetics compared to PEG-rhGH.
