Description

靶向于白介素36R的抗体及其制备方法和应用 技术领域
本申请涉及生物医药领域,具体的涉及一种靶向于白介素36R的抗体及其制备方法和应用。
背景技术
IL-1受体家族成员(IL1R)包含至少11个成员,其中包括IL1RI(IL1R1)、IL1RII(IL1R2)、IL1RAcP(IL1R3)、ST2(T1/IL1R4)、IL18Ra(IL1Rrp/IL1R5)、IL1Rrp2(IL1RL2/IL1R6/IL-36R)、IL18Rb(AcPL/IL1R7)、IL1RAPL1(TIGIRR2/IL1R8)、和TIGIRR1(IL1R9)。IL-36R可识别3个不同的激活配体细胞因子,IL36α,IL36β,IL36γ(也被称为IL-1F6、IL-1F8、IL-1F9),引发炎症细胞因子的表达。并有2个天然拮抗剂IL-36Ra(IL-1F5)和IL-38,他们与IL-36R结合后会抑制炎症细胞因子的表达。
IL-36R在肺上皮细胞、脑血管细胞、肾、睾丸、单核细胞、皮肤衍生的角质细胞、成纤维细胞和内皮细胞上表达。IL-36R由细胞膜外配体结合结构域、跨膜螺旋和细胞内信号转导Toll/IL-1受体结构域(Toll/IL-1receptor domain,TIR结构域)组成。IL-36α、IL-36β、IL-36γ首先与IL-36R结合,使其与IL-1RAcP形成信号转导复合体,然后募集髓样分化因子88(myeloid differentiation factor 88,MyD88),激活由c-Jun氨基末端激酶(c-Jun N-terminal kinases,JNK)和细胞外调节蛋白激酶(extracellular regulated protein kinases,ERK1/2)介导的丝裂原激活蛋白激酶(mitogen-activated protein kinases,MAPK)和核因子Kappa B(nuclear factor kappa B,NF-κB)途径,产生大量炎症介质,进而介导炎症反应,在适应性免疫中发挥重要作用。IL-36Ra与IL-36R的结合不会导致IL-1RAcP的募集,促炎性级联反应未开启,实现了IL-36Ra的抗炎特性。在正常人体中,IL-36α、IL-36β、IL-36γ介导的信号激活作用和IL-36Ra介导的信号抑制作用为平衡状态,当IL-36Ra发生基因突变时,会导致其抑制功能失活,打破平衡状态,发生炎症疾病。
IL-36细胞因子参与了某些严重的银屑病,包括泛发性脓疱性银屑病(GPP)和掌跖脓疱病(PPP)。GPP是一种严重的全身型类型脓疱型银屑病,具有致死性。PPP是慢性的影响手掌和脚掌的脓疱型银屑病。目前针对GPP和PPP的治疗方法包括口服类视黄醇和外用类固醇,但是治疗疗效差并有严重副作用。
因此,本领域仍需要能够与IL-36R高亲和力结合,并且能够阻断IL-36α、IL-36β、IL-36γ与IL-36R结合的抗IL-36R抗体,用于治疗GPP、PPP等IL-36相关疾病。

具体实施方式
以下由特定的具体实施例说明本申请发明的实施方式,熟悉此技术的人士可由本说明书所公开的内容容易地了解本申请发明的其他优点及效果。
术语定义
本申请人经过广泛而深入地研究,意外地获得了高亲和力高生物活性的IL-36R抗体。实验表明,本申请的IL-36R抗体能够与IL-36R高亲和力结合,并且能够阻断IL-36R配体(α、β、γ)与IL-36R结合,阻断IL-36R配体激活的信号通路,从而治疗和/或预防IL-36相关疾病。在此基础上完成了本申请。
术语
如本文所用,术语“给予”和“处理”是指外源性药物、治疗剂、诊断剂或组合物应用于动物、人、受试者、细胞、组织、器官或生物流体。“给予”和“处理”可以指治疗、药物代谢动力学、诊断、研究和实验方法。细胞的处理包括试剂与细胞的接触、以及试剂与流体的接触、流体与细胞的接触。“给予”和“处理”还意指通过试剂、诊断、结合组合物或通过另一种细胞体外和离体处理。“处理”当应用于人、动物或研究受试者时,是指治疗处理、预防或预防性措施,研究和诊断;包括IL-36R抗体与人或动物、受试者、细胞、组织、生理区室或生理流体的接触。
如本文所用,术语“治疗”指给予患者内用或外用治疗剂,包含本申请的任何一种IL-36R 抗体及其组合物,所述患者具有一种或多种疾病症状,而已知所述治疗剂对这些症状具有治疗作用。通常,以有效缓解一种或多种疾病症状的治疗剂的量(治疗有效量)给予患者。
如本文所用,术语“任选”或“任选地”意味着随后所描述的事件或情况可以发生但不是必须发生。例如,“任选包含1-3个抗体重链可变区”是指特定序列的抗体重链可变区可以有但不是必须有,可以是1个、2个或3个。
抗体
如本文所用,术语“抗体”指免疫球蛋白,是由两条相同的重链和两条相同的轻链通过链间二硫键连接而成的四肽链结构。免疫球蛋白重链恒定区的氨基酸组成和排列顺序不同,故其抗原性也不同。据此,可将免疫球蛋白分为五类,或称为免疫球蛋白的不同种型,即IgM、IgD、IgG、IgA和IgE,对应于不同类免疫球蛋白的重链恒定区分别称为α、δ、ε、γ和μ。IgG代表免疫球蛋白中最重要的一类,由于化学结构和生物功能差异,它又可以分为4个子类:IgG1、IgG2、IgG3和IgG4。轻链通过恒定区的不同分为κ或λ链。不同类免疫球蛋白的亚单位结构和三维构型是本领域人员所熟知的。
抗体重链和轻链靠近N端的约110个氨基酸的序列变化很大,为可变区(V区);靠近C端的其余氨基酸序列相对稳定,为恒定区(C区)。可变区包括3个高变区(HVR)和4个序列相对保守的FR区(FR)。4个FR的氨基酸序列相对比较保守,不直接参与结合反应。3个高变区决定抗体的特异性,又称为互补性决定区(CDR)。每条轻链可变区(LCVR)和重链可变区(HCVR)由3个CDR区和4个FR区组成,从氨基端到羧基端依次排列的顺序为FR1、CDR1、FR2、CDR2、FR3、CDR3、FR4。轻链的3个CDR区,即轻链高变区(LCDR),指LCDR1、LCDR2和LCDR3;重链的3个CDR区,即重链高变区(HCDR),指HCDR1、HCDR2和HCDR3。发明所述的抗体或抗原结合片段的LCVR和HCVR区的CDR氨基酸残基在数量和位置符合已知的Kabat编号规则(LCDR1-3,HCDR2-3),或者符合kabat和chothia的编号规则(HCDR1)。天然重链和轻链可变区中的四个FR区大致上呈β-折叠构型,由形成连接环的三个CDR相连,在某些情况下可形成部分β折叠结构。每条链中的CDR通过FR区紧密地靠在一起并与另一链的CDR一起形成了抗体的抗原结合部位。可以通过比较同类型的抗体的氨基酸序列来确定是哪些氨基酸构成了FR或CDR区域。恒定区不直接参与抗体与抗原的结合,但是它们表现出不同的效应功能,例如参与抗体的依赖于抗体的细胞毒性。
如本文所用,术语“抗原结合片段”,指具有抗原结合活性的Fab片段,Fab’片段,F(ab’)2片段,或单一Fv片段。Fv抗体含有抗体重链可变区、轻链可变区,但没有恒定区,并具有全部抗原结合位点的最小抗体片段。一般的,Fv抗体还包含VH和VL结构域之间的多肽接 头,且能够形成抗原结合所需的结构。
如本文所用,术语“抗原决定簇”指抗原上不连续的,由本申请抗体或抗原结合片段识别的三维空间位点。
本申请不仅包括完整的抗体,还包括具有免疫活性的抗体的片段或抗体与其他序列形成的融合蛋白。因此,本申请还包括所述抗体的片段、衍生物和类似物。
在本申请中,抗体包括用本领域技术人员熟知技术所制备的鼠的、嵌合的、人源化的或者全人的抗体。重组抗体,例如嵌合的和人源化的单克隆抗体,包括人的和非人的部分,可以采用本领域熟知的DNA重组技术制备。
如本文所用,术语“单克隆抗体”指得自单个细胞来源的克隆分泌的抗体。单克隆抗体是高度特异性的,针对单个抗原表位。所述的细胞可能是真核的、原核的或噬菌体的克隆细胞株。
如本文所用,术语“嵌合抗体”是由鼠源性抗体的V区基因与人抗体的C区基因拼接为嵌合基因,然后插入载体,转染宿主细胞表达的抗体分子。既保留了亲本鼠抗体的高特异性和亲和力,又使其人源Fc段能有效介导生物学效应功能。
如本文所用,术语“人源化抗体”,是本申请鼠抗的一种可变区改造形式,具有源自(或基本上源自)非人类抗体(例如可以为小鼠单克隆抗体)的CDR区,和基本源自人源抗体序列的FR区和恒定区;即将鼠抗的CDR区序列嫁接到不同类型的人种系抗体构架序列上。因为CDR序列负责大部分的抗体-抗原相互作用,所以可以通过构建表达载体来表达模拟特定天然存在的抗体性质的重组抗体。
在本申请中,抗体可以是单特异性、双特异性、三特异性、或者更多的多重特异性。
在本申请中,本申请的抗体还包括其保守性变异体,指与本申请抗体的氨基酸序列相比,有至多10个,可以为至多8个,可以为至多5个,可以为至多3个氨基酸被性质相似或相近的氨基酸所替换而形成多肽。这些保守性变异多肽最好根据表A进行氨基酸替换而产生。

一旦获得了有关的序列,就可以用重组法来大批量地获得有关序列。这通常是将其克隆入载体,再转入细胞,然后通过常规方法从增殖后的宿主细胞中分离得到有关序列。
此外,还可用人工合成的方法来合成有关序列,尤其是片段长度较短时。通常,通过先合成多个小片段,然后再进行连接可获得序列很长的片段。然后可将该DNA序列引入本领域中已知的各种现有的DNA分子(或如载体)和细胞中。

抗体-药物偶联物(ADC)
本申请还提供了基于本申请抗体的抗体偶联药物(antibody-drug conjugate,ADC)。
典型地,所述抗体偶联药物包括所述抗体、以及效应分子,所述抗体与所述效应分子偶联,并可以为化学偶联。其中,所述效应分子可以为具有治疗活性的药物。此外,所述效应分子可以是毒蛋白、化疗药物、小分子药物或放射性核素中的一种或多种。
本申请抗体与所述效应分子之间可以是通过偶联剂进行偶联。所述偶联剂的例子可以是非选择性偶联剂、利用羧基的偶联剂、肽链、利用二硫键的偶联剂中的任意一种或几种。所述非选择性偶联剂是指使效应分子和抗体形成共价键连接的化合物,如戊二醛等。所述利用羧基的偶联剂可以是顺乌头酸酐类偶联剂(如顺乌头酸酐)、酰基腙类偶联剂(偶联位点为酰基腙)中的任意一种或几种。
抗体上某些残基(如Cys或Lys等)用于与多种功能基团相连,其中包括成像试剂(例如发色基团和荧光基团),诊断试剂(例如MRI对比剂和放射性同位素),稳定剂(例如乙二醇聚合物)和治疗剂。抗体可以被偶联到功能剂以形成抗体-功能剂的偶联物。功能剂(例如药物,检测试剂,稳定剂)被偶联(共价连接)至抗体上。功能剂可以直接地、或者是通过接头间接地连接于抗体。
抗体可以偶联药物从而形成抗体药物偶联物(ADCs)。典型地,ADC包含位于药物和抗体之间的接头。接头可以是可降解的或者是不可降解的接头。可降解的接头典型地在细胞内环境下容易降解,例如在目标位点处接头发生降解,从而使药物从抗体上释放出来。合适的可降解的接头包括,例如酶降解的接头,其中包括可以被细胞内蛋白酶(例如溶酶体蛋白酶或者内体蛋白酶)降解的含有肽基的接头,或者糖接头例如,可以被葡糖苷酸酶降解的含葡糖苷酸的接头。肽基接头可以包括,例如二肽,例如缬氨酸-瓜氨酸,苯丙氨酸-赖氨酸或者缬氨酸-丙氨酸。其它合适的可降解的接头包括,例如,pH敏感接头(例如pH小于5.5时水解的接头,例如腙接头)和在还原条件下会降解的接头(例如二硫键接头)。不可降解的接头典型地在抗体被蛋白酶水解的条件下释放药物。
连接到抗体之前,接头具有能够和某些氨基酸残基反应的活性反应基团,连接通过活性反应基团实现。巯基特异性的活性反应基团是可以包括:例如马来酰亚胺类化合物,卤代酰 胺(例如碘、溴或氯代的);卤代酯(例如碘、溴或氯代的);卤代甲基酮(例如碘、溴或氯代),苄基卤代物(例如碘、溴或氯代的);乙烯基砜,吡啶基二硫化物;汞衍生物例如3,6-二-(汞甲基)二氧六环,而对离子是醋酸根、氯离子或者硝酸根;和聚亚甲基二甲基硫醚硫代磺酸盐。接头可以包括,例如,通过硫代丁二酰亚胺连接到抗体上的马来酰亚胺。
药物可以是任何细胞毒性,抑制细胞生长或者免疫抑制的药物。在实施方式中,接头连接抗体和药物,而药物具有可以和接头成键的功能性基团。例如,药物可以具有可以和连接物成键的氨基,羧基,巯基,羟基,或者酮基。在药物直接连接到接头的情况下,药物在连接到抗体之前,具有反应的活性基团。
有用的药物类别包括,例如,抗微管蛋白药物、DNA小沟结合试剂、DNA复制抑制剂、烷化试剂、抗生素、叶酸拮抗物、抗代谢药物、化疗增敏剂、拓扑异构酶抑制剂、长春花生物碱等。在本申请中,药物-接头可以用于在一个简单步骤中形成ADC。在其它实施方式中,双功能连接物化合物可以用于在两步或多步方法中形成ADC。例如,半胱氨酸残基在第一步骤中与接头的反应活性部分反应,并且在随后的步骤中,接头上的功能性基团与药物反应,从而形成ADC。
通常,选择接头上功能性基团,以利于特异性地与药物部分上的合适的反应活性基团进行反应。作为非限制性的例子,基于叠氮化合物的部分可以用于特异性地与药物部分上的反应性炔基基团反应。药物通过叠氮和炔基之间的1,3-偶极环加成,从而共价结合于接头。其它的有用的功能性基团包括,例如酮类和醛类(适合与酰肼类和烷氧基胺反应),膦(适合与叠氮反应);异氰酸酯和异硫氰酸酯(适合与胺类和醇类反应);和活化的酯类,例如N-羟基琥珀酰亚胺酯(适合与胺类和醇类反应)。这些和其它的连接策略,例如在《生物偶联技术》,第二版(Elsevier)中所描述的,是本领域技术人员所熟知的。本领域技术人员能够理解,对于药物部分和接头的选择性反应,当选择了一个互补对的反应活性功能基团时,该互补对的每一个成员既可以用于接头,也可以用于药物。
本申请还提供了制备ADC的方法,可进一步地包括:将抗体与药物-接头化合物,在足以形成抗体偶联物(ADC)的条件下进行结合。
在某些实施方式中,本申请方法包括:在足以形成抗体-接头偶联物的条件下,将抗体与双功能接头化合物进行结合。在这些实施方式中,本申请方法还进一步地包括:在足以将药物部分通过接头共价连接到抗体的条件下,将抗体接头偶联物与药物部分进行结合。
在一些实施方式中,抗体药物偶联物ADC如下分子式所示:

2.1中所得表达载体经过大肠杆菌扩增,用去内毒素质粒抽提试剂盒(天根生化科技(北京)有限公司,货号DP117)制备足量质粒,用于瞬时转染表达嵌合抗体。表达所用的宿主细胞为CHO-S细胞(赛默飞,货号R80007)。通过将制备所得的两种重链载体分别和轻链载体一起,与聚醚酰亚胺(PEI,Polysciences,货号24765-1)混合形成脂质体复合物后,转染CHO-S细胞,放入二氧化碳摇床中培养5-7天。离心收集细胞培养液上清,通过Protein A亲和层析柱纯化得到人鼠嵌合抗体。
2.3鼠源抗人IL-36R抗体的人源化——人源化抗体的制备方法
抗体的人源化采用以下方法:将嵌合抗体(华博编号900497)的可变区序列与NCBI IgBlast数据库中的可用序列比较,通过鉴定和分析,最终确定了适合在其上构建CDR移植重链和轻链的人源构架区(FR区)。
改造时,根据人抗体FR区保守的氨基酸残基以及抗体FR区中重要的氨基酸残基,设计改造位点,对嵌合抗体的重轻链的可变区分别进行人源化突变设计,利用PCR技术扩增并构建人源化点突变抗体表达质粒。将人源化点突变抗体表达质粒分别经CHO-S细胞表达,纯化后得到人源化抗体蛋白。利用Biacore和细胞生物活性等检测方法,对人源化抗体的亲和力,激活细胞因子释放等指标进行筛选,获得了三个性能优异的人源化抗IL-36R抗体。所获得人源化抗IL-36R抗体的编号为900513、900527和900534,其VH和VL序列下所示:

实施例7人源化抗体对银屑病的治疗效果
将食蟹猴分为5组,每组6只,分别为模型对照组、阳性对照药组、HB0034低剂量组、HB0034中剂量组及HB0034高剂量组。咪喹莫特乳膏(IMQ)涂抹,形成银屑病模型。首次造模当天(Day0)开始及第4天(Day4),HB0034低、中、高剂量组分别静脉注射给予5、15、50mg/kg HB0034,模型对照组给予生理盐水,阳性对照药组给予地塞米松(5mg/cm 2,涂抹给药,每天一次)。
实验结果显示,试验结束时,各组体重均略有下降,HB0034治疗组随着剂量的增加,体重下降幅度有减少趋势;与生理盐水(模型组)相比,在5mg/kg剂量下,HB0034显著降低造模皮肤组织中IL-17、IL-36的水平(p<0.05),对皮肤病理评分有改善趋势,但差异不显著 (p>0.05)(见表15);在15mg/kg剂量下,HB0034对模型PASI评分有明显改善(实验终点Day10,p<0.05),对皮肤病理评分有改善趋势,但差异不显著(p>0.05)(见表15,图12);对造模皮肤组织中IL-17、IL-36的水平有显著降低(p<0.05);在50mg/kg剂量下,HB0034对模型PASI评分有显著改善(Day4~10,p<0.05),对皮肤病理评分和皮肤IL-17、IL-36的水平均有显著降低(p<0.05)(见表15,图11-图12)。其中,图11中,n=6,*p<0.05,**p<0.01vs.生理盐水;图12中,n=6,**p<0.01vs.生理盐水。
阳性对照药地塞米松(5mg/cm 2)在该模型中的药效略优于15mg/kg HB0034,稍弱于50mg/kg HB0034。
由此可见,HB0034在15~50mg/kg剂量下(i.v.,Q4D×2),剂量依赖性地改善IMQ诱导的皮肤红斑、皮屑及皮肤增厚的银屑病样症状,降低PASI评分,改善造模部位皮肤病理评分和降低皮肤组织IL-17、IL-36水平。HB0034在IMQ诱导的食蟹猴银屑病模型中,最小起效剂量为15mg/kg。
