Definitions
- the present invention belongs to the field of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies, and more particularly, the present invention relates to an antibody against integrin-related protein (CD47); and also relates to the preparation of the antibody for the treatment of various diseases (including tumors and infectious diseases) Use in medicine.
- CD47 integrin-related protein
- CD47 also known as integrin-associated protein (IAP)
- IAP integrin-associated protein
- IAP integrin-associated protein
- IgV-like domain at the extracellular amino-terminus
- 5 transmembrane segments with highly hydrophobic extensions 1 short selection Sexually spliced carboxy-terminal cytoplasmic tail of which the IgV-like domain is its primary ligand binding site.
- Its ligands include: Signal-regulatory protein ⁇ (SIRP ⁇ ), Thrombospondin (TSP) and Integrins.
- CD47 is widely expressed on the cell membrane surface and is present on different cells in all tissues, especially leukocytes such as polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN), dendritic cells (DC), T cells, red blood cells, placenta, platelets and hematopoietic stem cells (hematopoietic stem cells). normal cells such as stem cells, HSCs).
- leukocytes such as polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN), dendritic cells (DC), T cells, red blood cells, placenta, platelets and hematopoietic stem cells (hematopoietic stem cells).
- PMN polymorphonuclear leukocytes
- DC dendritic cells
- T cells red blood cells
- placenta placenta
- platelets hematopoietic stem cells
- normal cells such as stem cells, HSCs.
- CD47 is highly expressed in most tumor cells in the human body, and it can be used as a standard for tumor diagnosis and progno
- cancer stem cells such as leukemia stem cells, LSC
- CD47 on the surface of tumor cells evades these cells by binding to SIRP ⁇ ligands on the surface of immune cells such as macrophages and DC cells, and delivering an inhibitory signal of "Don't eat me” to them.
- phagocytosis Kershaw MH et al., Science, 2013, 341:41-42
- phagocytosis evade the killing effect of T cells on tumor cells caused by the presentation of tumor antigens after phagocytosis (Vonderheide RH, Nature Medicine, 2015, 21: 1122–1123).
- a few domestic and foreign antibody drugs with the same target are in the phase I-II clinical research stage, such as Forty Seven's Hu5F9-G4, which is in the clinical phase I/II stage, and is used alone to treat acute myeloid leukemia and lymphoma ; with rituximab for B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma; or with cetuximab for colorectal cancer.
- Celgene's CC-90002 is in Phase I clinical trials, targeting solid tumors, multiple myeloma, and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Innovent's fully human monoclonal antibody IBI188 is undergoing clinical studies against advanced malignant tumors, including non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and ovarian cancer.
- CD47 antibodies have been reported to induce hemagglutination of human erythrocytes. Hemagglutination is an example of a homotypic interaction, and treatment with a bivalent CD47 antibody can cause aggregation or agglutination of two CD47-expressing cells.
- a fully IgG or F(ab') 2 configuration of the CD47 antibody MABL has been reported to induce hemagglutination of red blood cells, and this effect was only attenuated when MABL was changed to scFv or bivalent scFv (see e.g.
- CD47 antibodies including B6H12, BRC126 and CC2C6, also cause hemagglutination of red blood cells. Therefore, causing hemagglutination is the main limitation of the current CD47-targeting full IgG or F(ab') 2 configuration antibodies in clinical application. Therefore, there is still an urgent need to develop CD47 antibodies that can not only effectively promote the phagocytosis of macrophages but also weakly bind to erythrocytes and do not cause erythrocyte agglutination.
- the present invention provides an antibody that can specifically recognize and bind CD47 (especially human CD47) with high affinity.
- the antibodies of the present invention are capable of modulating (eg, blocking, inhibiting, reducing, antagonizing, neutralizing or interfering with) the activity and/or signaling of CD47, and these antibodies do not result in significant hemagglutination of red blood cells.

Abstract
Description
本发明属于治疗性单克隆抗体领域,更具体地,本发明涉及一种针对整合素相关蛋白(CD47)的抗体;还涉及所述抗体用于制备治疗多种疾病(包括肿瘤和感染性疾病)药物中的用途。The present invention belongs to the field of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies, and more particularly, the present invention relates to an antibody against integrin-related protein (CD47); and also relates to the preparation of the antibody for the treatment of various diseases (including tumors and infectious diseases) Use in medicine.
CD47又称整联蛋白(integrin-associated protein,IAP),其全长含305个氨基酸,胞外氨基端为一个IgV样的结构域,高度疏水延伸的5个跨膜片段和1个短的选择性拼接的羧基端胞质尾区,其中IgV样结构域是其主要配体结合部位。其配体包括:信号调节蛋白α链(Signal-regulatory proteinα,SIRPα)、凝血酶敏感蛋白(Thrombospondin,TSP)和整合素(Integrins)。CD47广泛表达于细胞膜表面,存在于所有组织的不同细胞上,尤其是白细胞,如多形核白细胞(PMN)、树突状细胞(DC)、T细胞、红细胞、胎盘、血小板及造血干细胞(hematopoietic stem cells,HSCs)等正常细胞。同时,CD47在人体大部分肿瘤细胞中高表达,并且它可以作为肿瘤诊断及判断预后的一个标准。如它在急慢性髓系白血病、急性淋巴细胞白血病、非霍奇金淋巴瘤以及膀胱癌、卵巢癌、乳腺癌、直肠癌、前列腺癌、肾癌、多发性骨髓瘤等多种实体肿瘤细胞或肿瘤干细胞上(如白血病干细胞leukemia stem cells,LSC)存在过表达,并且其高表达与临床预后差相关。CD47, also known as integrin-associated protein (IAP), contains 305 amino acids in its full length, an IgV-like domain at the extracellular amino-terminus, 5 transmembrane segments with highly hydrophobic extensions and 1 short selection Sexually spliced carboxy-terminal cytoplasmic tail of which the IgV-like domain is its primary ligand binding site. Its ligands include: Signal-regulatory proteinα (SIRPα), Thrombospondin (TSP) and Integrins. CD47 is widely expressed on the cell membrane surface and is present on different cells in all tissues, especially leukocytes such as polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN), dendritic cells (DC), T cells, red blood cells, placenta, platelets and hematopoietic stem cells (hematopoietic stem cells). normal cells such as stem cells, HSCs). At the same time, CD47 is highly expressed in most tumor cells in the human body, and it can be used as a standard for tumor diagnosis and prognosis. For example, it is used in acute and chronic myeloid leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, bladder cancer, ovarian cancer, breast cancer, rectal cancer, prostate cancer, kidney cancer, multiple myeloma and other solid tumor cells or There is overexpression on cancer stem cells (such as leukemia stem cells, LSC), and its high expression is associated with poor clinical prognosis.
研究表明,肿瘤细胞表面的CD47通过与巨噬细胞、DC细胞等免疫细胞表面的SIRPα配体结合,向其传递―“别吃我”(Don't eat me)的抑制信号,从而逃避这些细胞的吞噬(Kershaw MH等,Science,2013,341:41-42),并进而逃避吞噬后肿瘤抗原的递呈所导致的T细胞对肿瘤细胞的杀伤作用(Vonderheide RH,Nature Medicine,2015,21:1122–1123)。通过阻断肿瘤细胞表面的CD47与巨噬细胞或DC细胞表面的SIRPα的相互作用,可以促进巨噬细胞、DC细胞对肿瘤细胞的吞噬,并进一步增加肿瘤抗原的提呈,激活获得性免疫应答(Chao MP,Curr Opin Immunol,2012,24(2):225-32;Liu XJ,Nature medicine,2015,21(10):1209-1215)。因此,通过使用CD47抗体阻断CD47-SIRPα通路,介导巨噬细胞吞噬作用,能够靶向性杀伤肿瘤细胞。目前,国内外为数不多的同靶点抗体药物正处于I~II期临床研究阶段,例如Forty Seven公司的Hu5F9-G4,处于临床I/II期阶段,单用治疗急性骨髓性白血病及淋巴瘤;与利妥昔单抗联用治疗B细胞非霍奇金淋巴瘤;或与西妥昔单抗联用治疗结直肠癌。Celgene公司的CC-90002处于临床I期阶段,针对的适应症是实体瘤、多发性骨髓瘤,非霍奇金淋巴瘤。信达生物的全人单克隆抗体IBI188,正在开展针对晚期恶性肿瘤(包括非霍奇金淋巴瘤和卵巢癌)的临床研究。Studies have shown that CD47 on the surface of tumor cells evades these cells by binding to SIRPα ligands on the surface of immune cells such as macrophages and DC cells, and delivering an inhibitory signal of "Don't eat me" to them. phagocytosis (Kershaw MH et al., Science, 2013, 341:41-42), and then evade the killing effect of T cells on tumor cells caused by the presentation of tumor antigens after phagocytosis (Vonderheide RH, Nature Medicine, 2015, 21: 1122–1123). By blocking the interaction between CD47 on the surface of tumor cells and SIRPα on the surface of macrophages or DC cells, it can promote the phagocytosis of tumor cells by macrophages and DC cells, further increase the presentation of tumor antigens, and activate the adaptive immune response (Chao MP, Curr Opin Immunol, 2012, 24(2): 225-32; Liu XJ, Nature medicine, 2015, 21(10): 1209-1215). Therefore, by blocking the CD47-SIRPα pathway with CD47 antibody, the phagocytosis of macrophages can be mediated, and tumor cells can be targeted and killed. At present, a few domestic and foreign antibody drugs with the same target are in the phase I-II clinical research stage, such as Forty Seven's Hu5F9-G4, which is in the clinical phase I/II stage, and is used alone to treat acute myeloid leukemia and lymphoma ; with rituximab for B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma; or with cetuximab for colorectal cancer. Celgene's CC-90002 is in Phase I clinical trials, targeting solid tumors, multiple myeloma, and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Innovent's fully human monoclonal antibody IBI188 is undergoing clinical studies against advanced malignant tumors, including non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and ovarian cancer.
此外,多数CD47抗体被报道可引起人红细胞的血凝反应。血凝反应是同型相互作用的一个示例,使用二价CD47抗体处理后可引起两个表达CD47的细胞聚合或凝集。例如,一种全IgG或F(ab') 2构型的CD47抗体MABL被报道能够引起红细胞的血凝反应,且仅当MABL变为scFv或二价scFv时该作用减弱(参见例如UnoS等,Oncol Rep,2007,17:1189-1194;Kikuchi Y等,Biochem Biophys Res Commun,2004,315:912-918)。其它已知的CD47抗体(包括B6H12、BRC126和CC2C6)也会引起红细胞的血凝反应。因此,引起红细胞凝集是现有靶向CD47的全IgG或F(ab') 2构型抗体应用于临床的主要限制。因此,目前仍然迫切需要开发不仅能够有效促进巨噬细胞的吞噬作用而且与红细胞结合微弱,不导致红细胞凝集的CD47抗体。 In addition, most CD47 antibodies have been reported to induce hemagglutination of human erythrocytes. Hemagglutination is an example of a homotypic interaction, and treatment with a bivalent CD47 antibody can cause aggregation or agglutination of two CD47-expressing cells. For example, a fully IgG or F(ab') 2 configuration of the CD47 antibody MABL has been reported to induce hemagglutination of red blood cells, and this effect was only attenuated when MABL was changed to scFv or bivalent scFv (see e.g. UnoS et al., Oncol Rep, 2007, 17: 1189-1194; Kikuchi Y et al, Biochem Biophys Res Commun, 2004, 315: 912-918). Other known CD47 antibodies, including B6H12, BRC126 and CC2C6, also cause hemagglutination of red blood cells. Therefore, causing hemagglutination is the main limitation of the current CD47-targeting full IgG or F(ab') 2 configuration antibodies in clinical application. Therefore, there is still an urgent need to develop CD47 antibodies that can not only effectively promote the phagocytosis of macrophages but also weakly bind to erythrocytes and do not cause erythrocyte agglutination.

例如,本发明提供的抗体包含具有改变的效应子功能(例如降低或消除)的氨基酸置换、缺失或添加的Fc变体。抗体的Fc片段介导几种重要的效应子功能,例如ADCC、ADCP、CDC等。通过替换抗体的Fc片段中的氨基酸残基,以改变抗体对效应子配体(如FcγR或补体C1q)的亲和力,从而改变效应子功能的方法是本领域已知的(参见,例如EP 388,151A1;US 564,8260;US 562,4821;Natsume A等,Cancer Res.,68:3863-3872,2008;Idusogie EE等,J.Immunol.,166:2571-2575,2001;Lazar GA等,PNAS,103:4005-4010,2006;Shields RL等,JBC,276:6591-6604,2001;Stavenhagen JB等,Cancer Res.,67:8882-8890,2007;Stavenhagen JB等,Advan.Enzyme.Regul.,48:152-164,2008;Alegre ML等,J.Immunol.,148:3461-3468,1992;和Kaneko E等,Biodrugs,25:1-11,2011)。与FcγR相互作用主要影响抗体的ADCC活性,对应的氨基酸位点为P232-S239、D265-D270、Y296-T299和N325-I332。在本发明一些优选实施例中,对抗体重链恒定区上的氨基酸L235(EU编号)进行修饰以改变Fc受体相互作用,例如L235E或L235A。在本发明另一些优选实施例中,对抗体恒定区上的氨基酸234和235同时进行修饰,例如L234A和L235A(L234A/L235A)(EU编号)。在本发明另一些优选实施例中,对抗体重链恒定区上的氨基酸D265(EU编号)进行修饰以改变Fc受体相互作用,例如D265A。与C1q相互作用主要影响抗体的CDC活性,对应的氨基酸位点为D270、K322、P329和P331。在一些优选实施例中,对抗体恒定区上P331的氨基酸进行突变以消除CDC效应,例如P331S(EU编号);在另一些优选实施例中,对抗体恒定区上P329的氨基酸进行置换,例如P329A(EU编号)。For example, the antibodies provided herein comprise Fc variants that have amino acid substitutions, deletions or additions with altered effector function (eg, reduction or elimination). The Fc fragment of an antibody mediates several important effector functions, such as ADCC, ADCP, CDC, etc. Methods of altering effector function by substituting amino acid residues in the Fc fragment of an antibody to alter the affinity of the antibody for effector ligands such as FcyR or complement C1q are known in the art (see, eg, EP 388,151A1 ; US 564,8260; US 562,4821; Natsume A et al, Cancer Res., 68:3863-3872, 2008; Idusogie EE et al, J.

The interaction with FcγR mainly affects the ADCC activity of the antibody, and the corresponding amino acid positions are P232-S239, D265-D270, Y296-T299 and N325-I332. In some preferred embodiments of the invention, amino acid L235 (EU numbering) on the heavy chain constant region is modified to alter the Fc receptor interaction, eg L235E or L235A. In other preferred embodiments of the present invention, amino acids 234 and 235 in the constant region of the antibody are modified simultaneously, such as L234A and L235A (L234A/L235A) (EU numbering). In other preferred embodiments of the invention, amino acid D265 (EU numbering) on the heavy chain constant region of the antibody is modified to alter the Fc receptor interaction, eg D265A. The interaction with C1q mainly affects the CDC activity of the antibody, and the corresponding amino acid positions are D270, K322, P329 and P331. In some preferred embodiments, the amino acid of P331 in the constant region of the antibody is mutated to eliminate the CDC effect, such as P331S (EU numbering); in other preferred embodiments, the amino acid of P329 in the constant region of the antibody is substituted, such as P329A (EU number).
例如,本发明提供的抗体可包含具有延长的循环半衰期的氨基酸置换、缺失或添加的Fc变体。影响半衰期的主要是与FcRn的相互作用的残基,对应的氨基酸位点为L251-S254、L309-Q311和N434-H435。例如,M252Y/S254T/T256E、M428L/N434S或T250Q/M428L都能够延长抗体在灵长类动物中的半衰期。更多的与新生儿受体(FcRn)结合亲和力增强的Fc变体所包含突变位点可以参见中国发明专利CN 201280066663.2、US 2005/0014934A1、WO 97/43316、US 5,869,046、US 5,747,03、WO 96/32478。在本发明一些优选实施例中,对抗体恒定区上的氨基酸M428(EU编号)进行修饰以增强FcRn受体的结合亲和力,例如M428L。在另一些优选实施例中,对抗体恒定区上的氨基酸250和428(EU编号)同时进行修饰,例如T250Q和M428L(T250Q/M428L)。For example, the antibodies provided herein can comprise amino acid substitutions, deletions or additions to Fc variants with extended circulating half-lives. Residues that affect the half-life mainly interact with FcRn, and the corresponding amino acid positions are L251-S254, L309-Q311 and N434-H435. For example, M252Y/S254T/T256E, M428L/N434S or T250Q/M428L were all able to prolong the half-life of antibodies in primates. More mutation sites included in Fc variants with enhanced binding affinity to neonatal receptor (FcRn) can be found in Chinese Invention Patent CN 201280066663.2, US 2005/0014934A1, WO 97/43316, US 5,869,046, US 5,747,03, WO 96/32478. In some preferred embodiments of the invention, amino acid M428 (EU numbering) on the constant region of the antibody is modified to enhance the binding affinity of the FcRn receptor, eg M428L. In other preferred embodiments, amino acids 250 and 428 (EU numbering) in the constant region of the antibody are modified simultaneously, eg, T250Q and M428L (T250Q/M428L).
例如,本发明提供的抗体也可包含具有可以降低或消除Fc糖基化的氨基酸置换、缺失或添加的Fc变体。例如,IgG在CH2结构域的氨基酸N297处含有保守的糖基化位点,N297位糖基化对IgG的活性有很大影响,如果该位点糖基化被移除,则会影响IgG分子CH2上半部分的构象,从而丧失对FcγRs的结合能力,影响抗体相关的生物活性,如ADCC效应。在本发明的一些优选实施例中,对人IgG恒定区上的氨基 酸N297(EU编号)进行修饰以避免抗体的糖基化,例如N297A。For example, the antibodies provided herein can also comprise Fc variants with amino acid substitutions, deletions or additions that reduce or eliminate Fc glycosylation. For example, IgG contains a conserved glycosylation site at amino acid N297 of the CH2 domain. Glycosylation at N297 greatly affects the activity of IgG. If the glycosylation at this site is removed, it will affect the IgG molecule. The conformation of the upper half of CH2, thereby losing the binding ability to FcγRs, affects antibody-related biological activities, such as ADCC effect. In some preferred embodiments of the invention, amino acid N297 (EU numbering) on the human IgG constant region is modified to avoid glycosylation of the antibody, such as N297A.
例如,本发明提供的抗体也可包含具有可以消除Fab臂交换的Fc变体。例如,在本发明的一些优选实施例中,将IgG4的核心铰链区228位Ser替换为Pro(S228P)(EU编号),可消除Fab交换作用,增强Fab稳定性。For example, the antibodies provided herein may also include Fc variants with Fab arm swapping that eliminates. For example, in some preferred embodiments of the present invention, replacing Ser at position 228 in the core hinge region of IgG4 with Pro(S228P) (EU numbering) can eliminate Fab exchange and enhance Fab stability.

术语“凝集”是指细胞凝集,而术语“血细胞凝集”是指特定细胞亚型即红细胞的凝集。因此,血细胞凝集是凝集的一种类型。本发明的所述抗体不导致显著的凝集水平,例如血红细胞血凝反应(“RBC血凝反应”)。我们观察到,本发明的抗体以不促进CD47阳性细胞凝集的方式特异性结合CD47;并且,本发明的抗体结合细胞表面的CD47且不产生细胞凝集现象的能力不限于红血球细胞。The term "agglutination" refers to the agglutination of cells, while the term "hemagglutination" refers to the agglutination of a specific subtype of cells, ie, red blood cells. Therefore, hemagglutination is a type of agglutination. The antibodies of the invention do not cause significant levels of agglutination, such as red blood cell hemagglutination ("RBC hemagglutination"). We observed that the antibodies of the invention specifically bind to CD47 in a manner that does not promote agglutination of CD47 positive cells; and, the ability of the antibodies of the invention to bind CD47 on the cell surface without causing cell agglutination is not limited to red blood cells.
本领域的技术人员可以通过常规实验对凝集水平进行定量,例如RBC的血凝反应。例如,本领域的技术人员可在本发明的CD47抗体存在的条件下进行血凝反应试验,其后测量RBC斑点的面积以确定血凝反应的水平,如下文实施例中所述。在一些情况下,对存在本发明CD47抗体时的RBC斑点面积与不存在本发明CD47抗体时(即零血凝反应条件下)的RBC斑点面积,以及存在其他已知CD47抗体时的RBC斑点面积进行了比较。在这种方式下,相对于基线对照对血凝反应进行定量。RBC斑点的面积越大表明血凝反应的水平越高。或者,也可使用RBC斑点的密度分析对血凝反应进行定量。Those skilled in the art can quantify the level of agglutination, eg, the hemagglutination of RBCs, by routine experimentation. For example, one skilled in the art can perform a hemagglutination assay in the presence of the CD47 antibodies of the invention, and thereafter measure the area of the RBC spots to determine the level of hemagglutination, as described in the Examples below. In some cases, the RBC spot area in the presence of the CD47 antibody of the invention versus the RBC spot area in the absence of the CD47 antibody of the invention (ie, under zero hemagglutination conditions), and the RBC spot area in the presence of other known CD47 antibodies comparisons were made. In this manner, the hemagglutination response is quantified relative to a baseline control. The larger the area of the RBC spot, the higher the level of blood coagulation. Alternatively, hemagglutination can also be quantified using densitometric analysis of RBC spots.
术语“血红细胞”和“红细胞”是同义词并可互换使用。The terms "red blood cell" and "erythrocyte" are synonymous and used interchangeably.
本文所用术语“超变区”或“CDR区"或“互补决定区”是指负责抗原结合的抗体氨基酸残基。CDR区序列可以由IMGT、Kabat、Chothia和AbM方法来定义或本领域熟知的任何CDR区序列确定方法而鉴定的可变区内的氨基酸残基。抗体CDR可鉴定为最初由Kabat等人定义的高变区,例如,轻链可变结构域的 24-34(L1)、50-56(L2)和89-97(L3)位残基和重链可变结构域的31-35(H1)、50-65(H2)和95-102(H3)位残基,参见Kabat等,1991,Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest(免疫目的物的蛋白质序列),第5版,Public Health Service,National Institutes of Health,Bethesda,Md.;CDR的位置亦可鉴定为最初由Chothia等人描述的“超变环”(HVL)结构来界定的,例如,轻链可变结构域的26-32(L1)、50-52(L2)和91-96(L3)位残基和重链可变结构域的26-32(H1)、52-56(H2)和95-102(H3)位残基(参见例如Chothia等人,J Mol Biol,1992,227:799-817;Tomlinson等人,J Mol Biol,1992,227:776-798)。IMGT(ImMunoGeneTics)也提供了包括CDR的免疫球蛋白可变区的编号系统,根据IMGT编号定义CDR区,例如,轻链可变结构域的27-32(L1)、50-52(L2)和89-97(L3)位残基和重链可变结构域的26-35(H1)、51-57(H2)和93-102(H3)位残基,参见如Lefranc,M.P.等的Dev Comp Immunol,2003,27:55-77,其通过引用并入本文。用于CDR鉴定的其它方法包括“AbM定义”,其为Kabat与Chothia之间的折衷且使用Oxford Molecular′s AbM抗体模型软件得到;或CDR的“接触定义”,其基于所观察的抗原接触且阐述于MacCallum等人,1996,J.Mol.Biol.,262:732-745中。CDR的“构型定义”方法中,CDR的位置可鉴定为对抗原结合作出焓贡献的残基,参见例如Makabe等人,2008,Journal of Biological Chemistry,283:1156-1166。本发明所用的方法可利用或根据这些方法中的任一种所定义的CDR,包括但不限于Kabat定义、IMGT定义、Chothia定义、AbM定义、接触定义和/或构型定义中的任一者来定义。The term "hypervariable region" or "CDR region" or "complementarity determining region" as used herein refers to the amino acid residues of an antibody that are responsible for antigen binding. The CDR region sequences can be defined by the IMGT, Kabat, Chothia and AbM methods or the amino acid residues within the variable regions identified by any CDR region sequence determination method well known in the art. Antibody CDRs can be identified as hypervariable regions originally defined by Kabat et al., eg, residues 24-34 (L1), 50-56 (L2), and 89-97 (L3) of the light chain variable domain and heavy Residues 31-35 (H1), 50-65 (H2) and 95-102 (H3) of the chain variable domain, see Kabat et al., 1991, Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest , 5th edition, Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md.; CDR positions can also be identified as defined by the "hypervariable loop" (HVL) structure originally described by Chothia et al., e.g., light chains Residues 26-32 (L1), 50-52 (L2) and 91-96 (L3) of the variable domain and 26-32 (H1), 52-56 (H2) and Residues at positions 95-102 (H3) (see, eg, Chothia et al, J Mol Biol, 1992, 227:799-817; Tomlinson et al, J Mol Biol, 1992, 227:776-798). IMGT (ImMunoGeneTics) also provides a numbering system for immunoglobulin variable regions including CDRs, and CDR regions are defined according to IMGT numbering, eg, 27-32 (L1), 50-52 (L2) and Residues 89-97 (L3) and residues 26-35 (H1), 51-57 (H2) and 93-102 (H3) of the heavy chain variable domain, see eg Dev Comp by Lefranc, MP et al. Immunol, 2003, 27:55-77, which is incorporated herein by reference. Other methods for CDR identification include "AbM definitions", which are a compromise between Kabat and Chothia and derived using Oxford Molecular's AbM antibody modeling software; or "contact definitions" of CDRs, which are based on observed antigen contacts and Described in MacCallum et al., 1996, J. Mol. Biol., 262:732-745. In the "configuration definition" approach of CDRs, the positions of CDRs can be identified as residues that make enthalpy contributions to antigen binding, see eg Makabe et al., 2008, Journal of Biological Chemistry, 283: 1156-1166. The methods used in the present invention may utilize or define CDRs according to any of these methods, including but not limited to any of the Kabat definitions, IMGT definitions, Chothia definitions, AbM definitions, contact definitions and/or configuration definitions to define.

“人共有框架”是指这样的框架,即在选择人免疫球蛋白VL或VH框架序列中,其代表最常出现的氨基酸残基。一般而言,对人免疫球蛋白VL或VH序列的选择是从可变结构域序列的亚型中选择。一般而言, 该序列的亚型是如Kabat等,Sequences of Proteins ofImmunological Interest,第五版,NIH Publication 91-3242,Bethesda MD(1991),1-3卷中的亚型。"Human consensus framework" refers to a framework that represents the most frequently occurring amino acid residues in a selection of human immunoglobulin VL or VH framework sequences. In general, selection of human immunoglobulin VL or VH sequences is from a subset of variable domain sequences. In general, the subtypes of the sequences are as in Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, Fifth Edition, NIH Publication 91-3242, Bethesda MD (1991), vols. 1-3.
“人源化”抗体是指包含来自非人HVR的氨基酸残基和来自人FR的氨基酸残基的嵌合抗体。在一些实施方案中,人源化抗体将包含基本上所有的至少一个、通常两个可变结构域,其中所有或基本上所有的HVR(例如,CDR)对应于非人抗体的那些,并且所有或基本上所有的FR对应于人抗体的那些。人源化抗体任选可以包含至少一部分的来源于人抗体的抗体恒定区。抗体(例如非人抗体)的“人源化形式”是指已经进行了人源化的抗体。A "humanized" antibody refers to a chimeric antibody comprising amino acid residues from a non-human HVR and amino acid residues from a human FR. In some embodiments, a humanized antibody will comprise substantially all of at least one, usually two variable domains, wherein all or substantially all HVRs (eg, CDRs) correspond to those of the non-human antibody, and all Or substantially all of the FRs correspond to those of a human antibody. A humanized antibody may optionally contain at least a portion of an antibody constant region derived from a human antibody. A "humanized form" of an antibody (eg, a non-human antibody) refers to an antibody that has been humanized.
“人抗体”指具有这样的氨基酸序列的抗体,所述氨基酸序列对应于这样抗体的氨基酸序列,所述抗体由人或人细胞生成或来源于非人来源,其利用人抗体库或其它人抗体编码序列。人抗体的这种定义明确排除包含非人抗原结合残基的人源化抗体。"Human antibody" refers to an antibody having an amino acid sequence corresponding to the amino acid sequence of an antibody produced by a human or human cell or derived from a non-human source that utilizes a library of human antibodies or other human antibodies coding sequence. This definition of human antibody specifically excludes humanized antibodies comprising non-human antigen-binding residues.
本文所用术语“阻断”表示存在本发明的抗体时减少的CD47信号传递。CD47介导的信号传递阻断指本发明的CD47抗体存在时CD47信号传递水平低于CD47的对照水平(即不存在抗体时的CD47信号传递水平),降低的幅度大于或等于5%、10%、20%、25%、30%、40%、50%、60%、70%、75%、80%、90%、95%、99%或100%。可使用多种标准技术测量CD47信号传递水平,如作为非限制性实施例,测量下游基因激活和/或响应CD47激活的荧光素酶报告试验。本领域技术人员应理解可使用多种试验测量CD47信号传递水平,包括例如市售可得的试剂盒。The term "blocking" as used herein refers to reduced CD47 signaling in the presence of an antibody of the invention. The blocking of CD47-mediated signal transmission means that the CD47 signal transmission level in the presence of the CD47 antibody of the present invention is lower than the control level of CD47 (ie the CD47 signal transmission level in the absence of the antibody), and the reduction range is greater than or equal to 5%, 10% , 20%, 25%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 90%, 95%, 99%, or 100%. Levels of CD47 signaling can be measured using a variety of standard techniques, such as, by way of non-limiting example, downstream gene activation and/or luciferase reporter assays in response to CD47 activation. One of skill in the art will appreciate that a variety of assays can be used to measure the level of CD47 signaling, including, for example, commercially available kits.
本文使用的术语“免疫结合”和“免疫结合性质”是指一种非共价相互作用,其发生在免疫球蛋白分子和抗原(对于该抗原而言免疫球蛋白为特异性的)之间。免疫结合相互作用的强度或亲和力可以相互作用的平衡解离常数(K D)表示,其中K D值越小,表示亲和力越高。所选多肽的免疫结合性质可使用本领域中公知的方法定量。一种方法涉及测量抗原结合位点/抗原复合物形成和解离的速度。“结合速率常数”(ka或kon)和“解离速率常数”(kd或koff)两者都可通过浓度及缔合和解离的实际速率而计算得出。(参见Malmqvist M,Nature,1993,361:186-187)。kd/ka的比率等于解离常数K D(通常参见Davies等人,Annual Rev Biochem,1990;59:439-473)。可用任何有效的方法测量K D、ka和kd值。在优选的实施方案中,用生物发光干涉测量法(例如,实施例2.5中所述的ForteBio Octet法)来测量解离常数。在其它优选的实施方案中,可用表面等离子共振技术(例如Biacore)或Kinexa来测量解离常数。当平衡结合常数(K D)为≤10μM,优选为≤100nM,更优选为≤10nM,和最优选为≤100pM~约1pM时,本发明的抗体被认为特异性地结合至CD47表位。 The terms "immunobinding" and "immunobinding properties" as used herein refer to a non-covalent interaction that occurs between an immunoglobulin molecule and an antigen for which the immunoglobulin is specific. The strength or affinity of an immune binding interaction can be expressed as the equilibrium dissociation constant (K D ) of the interaction, where a smaller K D value indicates a higher affinity. The immunobinding properties of selected polypeptides can be quantified using methods well known in the art. One method involves measuring the rate of antigen binding site/antigen complex formation and dissociation. Both "association rate constants" (ka or kon) and "dissociation rate constants" (kd or koff) can be calculated from the concentrations and the actual rates of association and dissociation. (See Malmqvist M, Nature, 1993, 361:186-187). The ratio of kd/ka is equal to the dissociation constant KD (see generally Davies et al., Annual Rev Biochem, 1990;59:439-473). KD , ka and kd values can be measured by any effective method. In a preferred embodiment, dissociation constants are measured using bioluminescence interferometry (eg, the ForteBio Octet method described in Example 2.5). In other preferred embodiments, dissociation constants can be measured using surface plasmon resonance techniques (eg, Biacore) or Kinexa. Antibodies of the invention are considered to specifically bind to the CD47 epitope when the equilibrium binding constant (K D ) is ≤ 10 μM, preferably ≤ 100 nM, more preferably ≤ 10 nM, and most preferably ≤ 100 pM to about 1 pM.

在一些实施方案中,本发明的抗CD47抗体是人源化抗体。用于使抗体人源化的不同方法是技术人员已知的,如由Almagro&Fransson综述的,其内容通过引用完整并入本文(Almagro JC和Fransson J,Frontiers in Bioscience,2008,13:1619-1633)。Almagro&Fransson区分理性办法和经验办法。理性办法的特征在于生成少数工程化抗体变体并评估其结合或任何其它感兴趣的特性。如果设计的变体不产生预期的结果,那么启动新一轮的设计和结合评估。理性办法包括CDR嫁接、表面重建(Resurfacing)、超人源化(Superhumanization)和人字符串内容优化(Human StringContent Optimization)。相比之下,经验办法基于生成大的人源化变体库并使用富集技术或高通量筛选选出最佳克隆。因而,经验办法依赖于能够对大量抗体变体进行搜索的可靠的选择和/或筛选系统。体外展示技术,如噬菌体展示和核糖体展示满足这些要求并且是技术人员公知的。经验办法包括FR库、导向选择(Guided selection)、框架改组(Framework-shuffling)和Humaneering。In some embodiments, the anti-CD47 antibodies of the invention are humanized antibodies. Different methods for humanizing antibodies are known to the skilled person, as reviewed by Almagro & Fransson, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety (Almagro JC and Fransson J, Frontiers in Bioscience, 2008, 13:1619-1633) . Almagro & Fransson distinguish between rational and empirical approaches. A rational approach is characterized by generating a small number of engineered antibody variants and evaluating their binding or any other property of interest. If the designed variant does not produce the expected results, a new round of design and binding evaluation is initiated. Rational methods include CDR grafting, surface reconstruction (Resurfacing), superhumanization (Superhumanization) and human string content optimization (Human StringContent Optimization). In contrast, empirical approaches are based on generating large libraries of humanized variants and selecting the best clones using enrichment techniques or high-throughput screening. Thus, empirical approaches rely on reliable selection and/or screening systems capable of searching a large number of antibody variants. In vitro display techniques such as phage display and ribosome display meet these requirements and are well known to the skilled person. Empirical approaches include FR libraries, Guided selection, Framework-shuffling, and Humaneering.

Multispecific mAbs may be specific for different epitopes of one target polypeptide or may contain antigen binding domains specific for more than one target polypeptide. See, eg, Tutt et al., J Immunol, 1991, 147:60-69. The anti-CD47 mAb can be linked or co-expressed with another functional molecule (eg, another peptide or protein). For example, an antibody or fragment thereof can be functionally linked (eg, by chemical conjugation, genetic fusion, non-covalent association, or otherwise) to one or more other molecules, such as another antibody or antibody fragment, to produce a second or Bispecific or multispecific antibodies with more binding specificities.
在一些实施方案中,本发明的抗体结合人CD47蛋白,部分或完全地调节、阻断、抑制、减少、拮抗、中和或干扰CD47与SIRPα的结合从而完全或部分地抑制CD47的功能活性。CD47的功能活性包括例如通 过与SIRPα的相互作用传导信号、在细胞粘附至细胞外基质后调节(如增加)细胞内钙离子浓度、与血小板反应蛋白的C端细胞结合结构域相互作用、与血纤蛋白原相互作用以及与多种整联蛋白相互作用。例如,CD47抗体通过抑制SIRP-α与CD47结合,减少CD47-SIRPα介导的信号传导,促进吞噬作用,并且抑制肿瘤生长和/或迁移。In some embodiments, the antibodies of the invention bind to human CD47 protein, partially or fully modulate, block, inhibit, reduce, antagonize, neutralize or interfere with the binding of CD47 to SIRPα, thereby fully or partially inhibiting the functional activity of CD47. Functional activities of CD47 include, for example, signaling through interaction with SIRPα, regulating (eg, increasing) intracellular calcium concentration after cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix, interacting with the C-terminal cell-binding domain of thrombospondin, and Fibrinogen interacts and interacts with various integrins. For example, CD47 antibodies reduce CD47-SIRPα-mediated signaling, promote phagocytosis, and inhibit tumor growth and/or migration by inhibiting SIRP-α binding to CD47.
本发明的CD47抗体表现出多种需要的特性,如通过非限制性实施例的方式有效地阻断CD47与其配体SIRPα的相互作用,同时不导致显著的红细胞血凝反应,以及有效的抗肿瘤活性。例如,与不存在本文所述CD47抗体时CD47与SIRPα之间的相互作用水平相比,本发明的CD47抗体阻断了CD47与SIRPα之间至少40%、至少45%、至少50%、至少55%、至少60%、至少65%、至少70%、至少75%、至少80%、至少85%、至少95%或至少99%的相互作用。The CD47 antibodies of the present invention exhibit various desirable properties, such as, by way of non-limiting example, effectively blocking the interaction of CD47 with its ligand, SIRPα, without causing significant erythrocyte hemagglutination, and being effective against tumors active. For example, the CD47 antibodies of the invention block at least 40%, at least 45%, at least 50%, at least 55% of the interaction between CD47 and SIRPα compared to the level of interaction between CD47 and SIRPα in the absence of the CD47 antibodies described herein %, at least 60%, at least 65%, at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 95%, or at least 99% of interactions.
本发明的CD47抗体不会导致显著的细胞凝集,例如本发明的CD47抗体不会导致显著的血红细胞血凝反应。在一些情况下,显著的细胞凝集指现有CD47抗体存在时的凝集水平。在一个方面,与现有CD47抗体存在时的凝集水平相比,本发明的CD47抗体存在时的凝集水平下降了至少5%、至少10%、至少20%、至少30%、至少40%、至少50%、至少60%、至少70%、至少80%、至少90%或至少99%。在一些实施方式中,如果与现有CD47抗体存在时的凝集水平相比,本发明的CD47抗体存在时的凝集水平下降了至少5%、至少10%、至少20%、至少30%、至少40%、至少50%、至少60%、至少70%、至少80%、至少90%或至少99%,则说明本发明的CD47抗体未导致显著的凝集水平。The CD47 antibody of the present invention does not cause significant cell agglutination, eg, the CD47 antibody of the present invention does not cause significant red blood cell hemagglutination. In some instances, significant cellular agglutination refers to the level of agglutination in the presence of existing CD47 antibodies. In one aspect, the level of agglutination in the presence of a CD47 antibody of the invention is reduced by at least 5%, at least 10%, at least 20%, at least 30%, at least 40%, at least 30%, compared to the level of agglutination in the presence of an existing

For example, the ability of macrophages to phagocytose tumor cells in the presence of CD47 antibodies of the invention is increased by at least 5%, at least 10%, at least 20%, compared to the ability of macrophages to phagocytose tumor cells in the presence of existing CD47 antibodies. At least 30%, at least 40%, at least 50%, at least 60%, at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 90%, or at least 99%.

Although somatic cell hybridization procedures are preferred, other methods of making monoclonal antibodies, such as viral or oncogenic transformation of B lymphocytes, can also be used in principle.
用于制备杂交瘤的优选动物系统为鼠科动物系统。在小鼠中制备杂交瘤是非常完善的规程。分离用于融合的经免疫的脾细胞的免疫方案和技术是本领域已知的。融合配偶体(例如鼠骨髓瘤细胞)和融合规程也是已知的。A preferred animal system for making hybridomas is the murine system. The production of hybridomas in mice is a well established procedure. Immunization protocols and techniques for isolating immunized splenocytes for fusion are known in the art. Fusion partners (eg, murine myeloma cells) and fusion protocols are also known.
为表达抗体或其抗体片段,可以通过标准分子生物学技术(例如PCR扩增或使用表达目标抗体的杂交 瘤的cDNA克隆)获得编码部分或全长轻链和重链的DNA,并且可以将DNA插入到表达载体中,从而使得目的基因与转录和翻译调控序列可操作的连接,转染宿主细胞进行表达,表达宿主优选真核表达载体,更优选哺乳动物细胞,例如CHO及其衍生细胞系。To express an antibody or antibody fragment thereof, DNA encoding partial or full-length light and heavy chains can be obtained by standard molecular biology techniques such as PCR amplification or using cDNA cloning of hybridomas expressing the antibody of interest, and the DNA can be Inserted into an expression vector so that the gene of interest is operably linked to transcriptional and translational regulatory sequences, and transfected into a host cell for expression, preferably a eukaryotic expression vector, more preferably mammalian cells, such as CHO and its derived cell lines.
抗体可通过公知的技术,例如使用蛋白A或蛋白G的亲和层析纯化。随后或备选地,可将特异性抗原或其表位固定在柱上以通过免疫亲和层析而纯化免疫特异性抗体。免疫球蛋白的纯化例如由D.Wilkinson论述(The Scientist,由The Scientist,Inc.,Philadelphia PA,Vol.14,No.8(2000年4月17日),25-28页公布)。Antibodies can be purified by well-known techniques, such as affinity chromatography using protein A or protein G. Subsequently or alternatively, specific antigens or epitopes thereof can be immobilized on columns to purify immunospecific antibodies by immunoaffinity chromatography. The purification of immunoglobulins is discussed, for example, by D. Wilkinson (The Scientist, published by The Scientist, Inc., Philadelphia PA, Vol. 14, No. 8 (April 17, 2000), pp. 25-28).

DNA encoding heavy and light chain immunoglobulins can be obtained from murine hybridomas of interest and engineered to contain non-murine (eg, human) immunoglobulin sequences using standard molecular biology techniques. For example, to create chimeric antibodies, murine variable regions can be linked to human constant regions using methods known in the art (see, eg, US Patent No. 4,816,567 to Cabilly et al.). The isolated DNA encoding the VH region can be converted to a full-length heavy chain gene by operably linking the VH-encoding DNA to another DNA molecule encoding the heavy chain constant regions (CH1, CH2, and CH3). Sequences of human heavy chain constant region genes are known in the art (see, e.g., Kabat, EA et al., 1991, Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, Fifth Edition, USDepartment of Health and Human Services, NIH Publication No. 91-3242 ), DNA fragments containing these regions can be obtained by standard PCR amplification.

将人CD47抗原50μg(北京义翘神州生物技术有限公司)以完全弗氏佐剂充分乳化后,采用多点免疫方式免疫雄性Balb/C小鼠,免疫周期为三周一次。在第3次免疫后第10天,通过眼窝取血,ELISA测试血浆抗人CD47抗体滴度以监测小鼠免疫应答程度,然后在融合前3天,对产生抗人CD47抗体滴度最高的小鼠加强免疫一次。3天后,处死小鼠并取出该小鼠脾脏与小鼠骨髓瘤Sp2/0细胞株融合。混合2×10 8Sp2/0细胞与2×10 8脾细胞在50%聚乙二醇(分子量为1450)和5%二甲基亚砜(DMSO)溶液中融合。用Iscove培养基(含有10%胎牛血清,100单位/mL青霉素,100μg/mL链霉素,0.1mM次黄嘌呤,0.4μM氨基蝶呤和16μM胸苷)来调整脾脏细胞数至5×10 5/mL,以0.3ml加入96孔培养板孔内,并置于37℃,5%CO 2培养箱内。培养10天后,采用高通量ELISA法分别检测上清中抗体与HRP标记的人SIRPα竞争结合CD47的能力,以此筛选出与人SIRPα竞争的阳性孔(方法参见实施例2.3)。再将上述含有能够抑制HRP标记SIRPα与人CD47结合的单克隆抗体的孔内融合细胞进行亚克隆,同样以竞争ELISA方法筛选得到3个表达高亲和力鼠单克隆抗体的杂交瘤细胞株,分别是#2A1621、#2A11971、#2A21331和#2A2351。 After 50 μg of human CD47 antigen (Beijing Yiqiao Shenzhou Biotechnology Co., Ltd.) was fully emulsified with complete Freund's adjuvant, male Balb/C mice were immunized by multi-point immunization, and the immunization cycle was once every three weeks. On the 10th day after the third immunization, blood was collected from the eye socket, and plasma anti-human CD47 antibody titers were tested by ELISA to monitor the degree of immune response in mice. Then, 3 days before fusion, mice with the highest anti-human CD47 antibody titers were tested The mice were boosted once. After 3 days, the mice were sacrificed and the spleens of the mice were removed to fuse with the mouse myeloma Sp2/0 cell line. 2×10 8 Sp2/0 cells were mixed with 2×10 8 splenocytes in 50% polyethylene glycol (molecular weight 1450) and 5% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solution.

After 10 days of culture, high-throughput ELISA was used to detect the ability of the antibody in the supernatant to compete with HRP-labeled human SIRPα for binding to CD47, so as to screen out the positive wells that compete with human SIRPα (see Example 2.3 for the method). Then, the above-mentioned fusion cells in the well containing the monoclonal antibody that can inhibit the binding of HRP-labeled SIRPα to human CD47 were subcloned, and 3 hybridoma cell lines expressing high-affinity mouse monoclonal antibody were obtained by competitive ELISA. #2A1621, #2A11971, #2A21331 and #2A2351.
在补充10%FCS的RPMI 1640培养基中培养产生特异性抗体的克隆。当细胞密度达到大约5×10 5个细胞/ml时,用无血清培养基替换该培养基。2至4天后,将培养过的培养基离心,收集培养上清液。用蛋白G柱纯化抗体,然后用150mM NaCl透析单克隆抗体洗脱液。通过0.2μm滤器将透析的溶液过滤除菌,以获得待测试的纯化的鼠单克隆抗体Mo2A1621、Mo2A11971、Mo2A21331和Mo2A2351。 Specific antibody-producing clones were grown in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% FCS. When the cell density reached approximately 5 x 105 cells/ml, the medium was replaced with serum-free medium. After 2 to 4 days, the cultured medium was centrifuged and the culture supernatant was collected. Antibodies were purified on a protein G column and the monoclonal antibody eluate was dialyzed against 150 mM NaCl. The dialyzed solution was filter sterilized through a 0.2 μm filter to obtain the purified murine monoclonal antibodies Mo2A1621, Mo2A11971, Mo2A21331 and Mo2A2351 to be tested.

实施例4、抗CD47鼠单克隆抗体的人源化Example 4. Humanization of anti-CD47 mouse monoclonal antibody
根据上述获得的Mo2A21331、Mo2A1621、Mo2A11971和Mo2A2351鼠源抗体可变区序列,利用计算机辅助抗体三维建模以及结构分析进行抗体人源化改造。本发明人采用两种方法进行鼠源抗体的人源化改造,一种是CDR移植,另一种是表明重塑。其中,CDR移植(CDR-Grafting)是一种常见的抗体人源化方法,是通过将人源抗体的FR替换鼠源抗体的FR来达到保持活性、降低免疫原性的目的。结合Discovery Studio分析工具进行CDR移植抗体人源化改造的方法主要包括以下步骤:(1)抗体三维结构建模;(2)关键残基分析。利用分子对接分析可变区及其周边的框架氨基酸序列,考察其空间立体结合方式以确定对于保持CDR区构象至关重要的关键残基,主要有三类:1、位于VL和VH结合界面上的残基,对于两个结构域的折叠起到关键作用;2、靠近CDR区并且包埋于蛋白内部的残基;3、与CDR区有直接相互作用的残基,相互作用包括:疏水相互作用/氢键/盐桥;(3)人源模板选择。须同时满足下面两个条件:首先,把各杂交瘤细胞分泌的抗体氨基酸序列与人胚胎系抗体氨基酸序列进行比对,找出同源性高的序列;其次,选择其中与MHC II(HLA-DR)亲和力低的人胚胎系(germline)抗体框架序列,以降低其免疫原性;(4)基于关键残基分析的反向嫁接,获得人源化抗体序列。According to the variable region sequences of Mo2A21331, Mo2A1621, Mo2A11971 and Mo2A2351 murine antibodies obtained above, the antibodies were humanized by computer-aided three-dimensional modeling and structural analysis. The inventors adopted two methods to humanize the murine antibody, one is CDR transplantation, and the other is express remodeling. Among them, CDR-Grafting is a common antibody humanization method, which achieves the purpose of maintaining the activity and reducing the immunogenicity by replacing the FR of the human antibody with the FR of the mouse antibody. The method for humanization transformation of CDR-grafted antibodies combined with the Discovery Studio analysis tool mainly includes the following steps: (1) modeling of the three-dimensional structure of the antibody; (2) analysis of key residues. Molecular docking was used to analyze the framework amino acid sequences of the variable region and its surrounding areas, and the spatial binding mode was investigated to determine the key residues that are crucial for maintaining the conformation of the CDR region. There are three main categories: 1. Residues that play a key role in the folding of the two domains; 2. Residues close to the CDR region and embedded in the interior of the protein; 3. Residues that have direct interactions with the CDR region, including: hydrophobic interactions /Hydrogen bond/salt bridge; (3) Human template selection. The following two conditions must be met at the same time: first, compare the amino acid sequence of the antibody secreted by each hybridoma cell with the amino acid sequence of the human embryonic antibody to find out the sequence with high homology; DR) low-affinity human germline antibody framework sequence to reduce its immunogenicity; (4) reverse grafting based on key residue analysis to obtain humanized antibody sequences.
表面重塑抗体是利用计算机辅助的分子设计和表面残基替换法进行鼠源抗体的人源化设计。该方法的原则是仅替换与人源抗体表面氨基酸差别明显的区域,在维持抗体活性并兼顾减少异源性基础上选用与人抗体表面残基相似的氨基酸替换;人源化改造过程涉及以下步骤:1、把各杂交瘤细胞分泌的抗体的氨基酸序列与人胚胎系抗体氨基酸序列进行比对,找出同源性高的序列;2、对于影响侧链大小、电荷、疏水性或可能形成氢键从而影响到抗体CDR构象的残基尽量保留;3、利用计算机模拟技术,选择溶剂可及性(solvent accessibility)大于30%时,暴露的表面氨基酸替换成人胚胎系抗体氨基酸。Resurfacing antibodies are humanized design of murine antibodies using computer-aided molecular design and surface residue replacement. The principle of this method is to replace only the regions that are significantly different from the surface amino acids of human antibodies, and select amino acids similar to the surface residues of human antibodies on the basis of maintaining antibody activity and reducing heterology; the humanization transformation process involves the following steps : 1. Compare the amino acid sequence of the antibody secreted by each hybridoma cell with the amino acid sequence of the human embryonic antibody to find the sequence with high homology; 2. For the side chain size, charge, hydrophobicity or possible formation of hydrogen The residues that affect the antibody CDR conformation are retained as much as possible; 3. Using computer simulation technology, when the solvent accessibility is greater than 30%, the exposed surface amino acids are replaced by adult embryonic antibody amino acids.

将上述已构建的重组表达载体质粒转染入哺乳动物宿主细胞系,以表达人源化抗体。为了稳定高水平的表达,优选的宿主细胞系是二氢叶酸还原酶(DHFR)缺陷型的中国仓鼠卵巢(CHO)细胞(参见,例如Chasin,L.等人的美国专利4818679号)。优选的转染方法是电穿孔,也可以使用其他方法,包括磷酸钙共沉降,脂转染和原生质融合等。在电穿孔中,用设为250V电场和960μFd电容的Gene Pulser(Bio-Rad Laboratories),在比色杯内加入2×10 7个细胞悬浮在0.8ml的PBS中,并含有10μg用PvuI(Takara)线性化的表达载体质粒DNA。转染2天后,加入含有0.2mg/mL G418以及200nM氨甲喋呤(methotrexate或MTX)。为了实现较高水平的表达,用受MTX药物抑制的DHFR基因共扩增转染的人源化抗体基因。用极限稀释亚克隆转染子及ELISA的方法测定各细胞系的分泌率,选出高水平表达人源化抗体的细胞株。收集人源化抗体的条件培养基,用于测定其体外和体内生物学活性。 The recombinant expression vector plasmids constructed above are transfected into mammalian host cell lines to express humanized antibodies. For stable high-level expression, the preferred host cell line is dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) deficient Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells (see, eg, US Pat. No. 4,818,679 to Chasin, L. et al.). The preferred method of transfection is electroporation, but other methods can also be used, including calcium phosphate co-precipitation, lipofection, and protoplast fusion, among others. In electroporation, using a Gene Pulser (Bio-Rad Laboratories) set to an electric field of 250 V and a capacitance of 960 μFd, 2×10 7 cells were added to a cuvette suspended in 0.8 ml of PBS containing 10 μg of PvuI (Takara ) linearized expression vector plasmid DNA. Two days after transfection, G418 containing 0.2 mg/mL and 200 nM methotrexate (methotrexate or MTX) was added. To achieve higher levels of expression, the transfected humanized antibody gene was co-amplified with the DHFR gene inhibited by the MTX drug. The secretion rate of each cell line was measured by the methods of limiting dilution subcloning transfectants and ELISA, and the cell line expressing the humanized antibody at a high level was selected. Conditioned media of humanized antibodies are collected for determination of their in vitro and in vivo biological activities.

如图9所示,CD47人源化抗体AB12W3、AB12W4、AB12W5和AB12W6对靶细胞Raji都不具有CDC细胞毒作用。含野生型人IgG4Fc片段的抗体本身介导较弱的ADCC和CDC效应,而本发明人源化抗体所含的IgG4Fc片段将L235突变为E,使其ADCC效应进一步去除,试验证实它们对靶细胞同样不具有显著的CDC杀伤作用。提示本发明提供的针对CD47的人源化抗体具有良好的安全性,不会介导其基于 阻断作用杀伤肿瘤细胞之外所不必要的ADCC和CDC等细胞毒作用,从而对表达CD47的正常细胞起到保护作用,减少不必要的临床副反应。As shown in Figure 9, none of the CD47 humanized antibodies AB12W3, AB12W4, AB12W5 and AB12W6 had CDC cytotoxicity on the target cell Raji. The antibody containing the wild-type human IgG4 Fc fragment itself mediates weak ADCC and CDC effects, while the IgG4 Fc fragment contained in the humanized antibody of the present invention mutates L235 to E, which further removes the ADCC effect. It also does not have significant CDC killing effect. It is suggested that the humanized antibody against CD47 provided by the present invention has good safety, and will not mediate its unnecessary cytotoxic effects such as ADCC and CDC in addition to killing tumor cells based on the blocking effect, thereby preventing normal CD47-expressing cells. Cells play a protective role, reducing unnecessary clinical side effects.

Then, different concentration gradients of the antibody to be tested were spread in the above-mentioned 96-well plate, 50 μl per well. Let stand for 1 h in a 37°C, 5% CO 2 incubator to fully bind the antibody to the target cells. Then add the M2 macrophages prepared above, 100 μl per well, about 5×10 4 cells, and mix well. 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator for 1h. All cells were harvested and labeled with CD11b-APC fluorescent antibody (Invitrogen). Plates were washed according to conventional flow cytometry to remove unbound fluorescent antibodies. The total number of samples taken was 1×10 4 cells for on-machine detection, in which the target cells were PE fluorescence, the macrophages were APC fluorescence, and the phagocytosis was PE+APC dual fluorescence. read the fluorescence value, Data were analyzed and plotted with log concentration (lgC) as abscissa and percentage phagocytosis (%) as ordinate.
如图10所示,CD47人源化抗体AB12W3、AB12W4和AB12W6都能介导巨噬细胞吞噬肿瘤细胞CCRF-CEM,并且呈剂量依赖性,与对照抗体AB12W1的EC 50值相当。 As shown in Figure 10, CD47 humanized antibodies AB12W3, AB12W4, and AB12W6 could mediate macrophage phagocytosis of tumor cells CCRF-CEM in a dose-dependent manner, which was comparable to the EC50 value of control antibody AB12W1.
(2)对红细胞RBC的吞噬作用(2) Phagocytosis of erythrocyte RBC
CD47也高表达于红细胞表面,当CD47抗体结合红细胞表面的CD47后,打破红细胞表面的“别吃我”信号,导致巨噬细胞清除红细胞,可能诱发贫血症状。临床I期试验中,CD47抗体治疗后,发生红细胞枯竭,造成短暂性的贫血是其主要的不良反应。因此,我们测定CD47人源化抗体AB12W3、和AB12W4介导的巨噬细胞对红细胞的吞噬作用大小,来评价本发明提供的CD47人源化抗体在临床应用中的潜在副作用。红细胞采用常规方法制备,并以PE荧光染色,巨噬细胞以CD11b-APC荧光抗体标记,待测抗体样品稀释方法及测定步骤同上。分析数据,以浓度对数(lgC)为横坐标,以吞噬百分比(%)为纵坐标作图。CD47 is also highly expressed on the surface of red blood cells. When CD47 antibody binds to CD47 on the surface of red blood cells, it breaks the "don't eat me" signal on the surface of red blood cells, causing macrophages to clear red blood cells, which may induce symptoms of anemia. In phase I clinical trials, red blood cell depletion occurred after CD47 antibody treatment, resulting in transient anemia as the main adverse reaction. Therefore, we measured the phagocytosis of erythrocytes by macrophages mediated by CD47 humanized antibodies AB12W3 and AB12W4 to evaluate the potential side effects of the CD47 humanized antibodies provided by the present invention in clinical application. Erythrocytes were prepared by conventional methods and stained with PE fluorescence, and macrophages were labeled with CD11b-APC fluorescent antibody. Data were analyzed and plotted with log concentration (lgC) as abscissa and percentage phagocytosis (%) as ordinate.
如图11所示,与同型对照相比,对照抗体AB12W1能够介导较强的红细胞吞噬能力,而人源化抗体AB12W3和AB12W4几乎不引起红细胞吞噬,与同型对照抗体相比无显著性差异。As shown in Figure 11, the control antibody AB12W1 was able to mediate stronger erythrocyte phagocytosis compared to the isotype control, while the humanized antibodies AB12W3 and AB12W4 hardly caused erythrocyte phagocytosis, and there was no significant difference compared with the isotype control antibody.
6.8抗CD47人源化抗体促进红细胞凝集活性测定6.8 Determination of anti-CD47 humanized antibody promoting hemagglutination activity
利用红细胞凝集反应对候选CD47人源化抗体是否引发血凝反应进行评估。通过对存在CD47抗体时的RBC斑点面积与不存在CD47抗体时(即零血凝反应条件下)的RBC斑点面积进行比较,RBC斑点面积越大表明血凝反应的水平越高,也可使用RBC斑点的密度分析对血凝反应进行定量。Whether candidate CD47 humanized antibodies elicit hemagglutination was assessed using hemagglutination. By comparing the RBC spot area in the presence of CD47 antibody with the RBC spot area in the absence of CD47 antibody (ie under zero hemagglutination conditions), a larger RBC spot area indicates a higher level of hemagglutination, and RBC can also be used Densitometric analysis of the spots quantified hemagglutination.
检测方法如下:采集新鲜人外周血,离心并洗涤沉淀,分离人红细胞,将细胞重悬至密度为2×10 8/ml。将50μl人红细胞悬液与50μl待测抗体(最高浓度为200μg/ml,3倍梯度稀释,总共8个点)加入96孔板中,阴性对照组(NC)加入等体积的PBS缓冲液,在37℃孵育30min,反应结束后用扫描仪对96孔板进行拍照并判断结果。结果判定标准为如果红细胞沉于孔底,平铺呈网状,则发生了红细胞凝集反应(参见图12中AB12W1的结果),如果红细胞未发生凝集反应,则红细胞将呈点状沉于孔底(参见图12中NC的结果),根据沉降的红细胞团面积,可以初步判定抗体对红细胞凝集作用的强弱。 The detection method is as follows: collecting fresh human peripheral blood, centrifuging and washing the pellet, separating human red blood cells, and resuspending the cells to a density of 2×10 8 /ml. Add 50 μl of human erythrocyte suspension and 50 μl of the antibody to be tested (the highest concentration is 200 μg/ml, 3-fold gradient dilution, a total of 8 points) into a 96-well plate, and the negative control group (NC) is added with an equal volume of PBS buffer. Incubate at 37°C for 30 min. After the reaction, the 96-well plate was photographed with a scanner and the results were judged. The criterion for determining the result is that if the red blood cells settle on the bottom of the well and are flattened into a mesh, then the red blood cell agglutination reaction has occurred (see the results of AB12W1 in Figure 12). (See the results of NC in Fig. 12 ), according to the area of the sedimented erythrocyte mass, the strength of the antibody on erythrocyte agglutination can be preliminarily determined.
由图12可见,CD47人源化抗体AB12W3、AB12W4、AB12W5、AB12W6、AB12W8、AB12W9和AB12W10同阴性对照组一样都不会引起明显的红细胞凝集反应,而对照抗体AB12W1在高浓度下呈现明显的细胞凝集现象。提示本发明提供的CD47抗体具有显著降低的促血细胞凝集作用,预期其临床应用中的相关副反应也会极大程度的降低甚至消除。It can be seen from Figure 12 that CD47 humanized antibodies AB12W3, AB12W4, AB12W5, AB12W6, AB12W8, AB12W9 and AB12W10 did not cause obvious hemagglutination reaction like the negative control group, while the control antibody AB12W1 showed obvious cells at high concentrations. Agglomeration phenomenon. It is suggested that the CD47 antibody provided by the present invention has a significantly reduced effect of promoting hemagglutination, and it is expected that the related side reactions in its clinical application will also be greatly reduced or even eliminated.

如图16所示,在给药后第27天,阴性对照组平均肿瘤体积为1711.49±540.38mm 3;Rituxan给药组的平均肿瘤体积为1497.13±447.01mm 3,TGI为16.59%,相对于阴性对照组无显著性差异;AB12W2给药组的平均肿瘤体积为21.47±15.54mm 3,TGI为98.78%,相对于阴性对照组具有非常显著性差异(P<0.0001);AB12W9的1mg/kg、3mg/kg和10mg/kg三个剂量的平均肿瘤体积分别为770.48±218.83mm 3、179.76±186.32mm 3和78.13±63.00mm 3,TGI分别为55.05%、89.68%和95.53%;所有给药组相对于对照组均有非常显著性差异(P<0.01);Rituxan分别和AB12W9三个剂量联合给药组的平均肿瘤体积分别为389.48±360.90mm 3、126.00±112.53mm 3和63.10±59.45mm 3,TGI分别为78.46%、92.98%和96.39%。另外,整个实验过程中,动物健康状态良好,无动物死亡。实验结束时,各组动物体重均出现增长,AB12W9单用或联用Rituxan处理组动物与溶剂对照组动物体重比较无显著性差异(p>0.05),表明动物对AB12W9耐受良好,未对实验动物产生明显毒性作用。 As shown in Figure 16, on the 27th day after administration, the average tumor volume of the negative control group was 1711.49 ± 540.38 mm 3 ; the average tumor volume of the Rituxan administration group was 1497.13 ± 447.01 mm 3 , the TGI was 16.59%, relative to the negative There was no significant difference in the control group; the average tumor volume of the AB12W2 administration group was 21.47±15.54mm 3 , and the TGI was 98.78%, which was significantly different from the negative control group (P<0.0001); 1mg/kg, 3mg of AB12W9 The mean tumor volumes of the three doses/kg and 10 mg/kg were 770.48±218.83mm 3 , 179.76±186.32mm 3 and 78.13±63.00mm 3 , respectively, and the TGIs were 55.05%, 89.68% and 95.53%, respectively; There were very significant differences in the control group (P<0.01); the mean tumor volumes of the three doses of Rituxan and AB12W9 were 389.48±360.90mm 3 , 126.00±112.53mm 3 and 63.10±59.45mm 3 , respectively. The TGIs were 78.46%, 92.98% and 96.39%, respectively. In addition, during the whole experiment, the animals were in good health and no animals died. At the end of the experiment, the body weight of the animals in each group increased. There was no significant difference in the body weight of the animals in the AB12W9 treatment group alone or in combination with the Rituxan treatment group and the solvent control group (p>0.05), indicating that the animals tolerated AB12W9 well. Animals have obvious toxic effects.
以上结果表明,抗CD47人源化抗体AB12W9单用就具有良好的抗肿瘤作用,且抗肿瘤作用具有良好 的量效关系;AB12W9低剂量1mg/kg与Rituxan联用的抑瘤效果优于AB12W9单用和Rituxan单用组;AB12W9中、高剂量(3、10mg/kg)因单用药效已经达到最佳抗肿瘤效果,没有提高的余地,故与Rituxan联用的效果与单用AB12W9相当。The above results show that the anti-CD47 humanized antibody AB12W9 has a good anti-tumor effect alone, and the anti-tumor effect has a good dose-effect relationship; the anti-tumor effect of AB12W9 at a low dose of 1 mg/kg combined with Rituxan is better than that of AB12W9 alone Rituxan and Rituxan alone group; AB12W9 medium and high doses (3, 10 mg/kg) have achieved the best anti-tumor effect as a single drug, and there is no room for improvement, so the effect of combined use with Rituxan is comparable to that of AB12W9 alone.
