Description

Anti-EGFRvIII and CD3 specific dual targeting antibody, containing dual targeting antibody expression cassette Microcircle DNA and its application

technical field

The invention relates to the fields of biomedicine and diagnosis and treatment, in particular to an anti-EGFRvIII and CD3 specific dual-targeting antibody, a microcircle DNA containing an expression cassette of the dual-targeting antibody, and applications thereof.

Background technique

The epidermal growth factor receptor type III mutant (EGFRvIII) is the deletion of exons 2-7 of the extracellular region of EGFR (801bp, 267aa), resulting in the fusion of exons 1 and 8, and a new glycine is produced at the fusion site, Therefore, a new antigenic determinant is formed outside the membrane, and its expression rate is very high in malignant tumors such as glioma, breast cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, prostate cancer, and ovarian cancer, and this mutant is a tumor process products, only appear in tumor cells. EGFRvIII lacks most of the ligand-binding regions of the extracellular region of EGFR, and can undergo autophosphorylation, constitutively activating tyrosine kinases to induce a series of downstream signal transductions, leading to malignant transformation of cells, which improves cell proliferation and invasion capabilities , inhibits programmed cell death, and is closely related to the occurrence and development of tumors, but it is not expressed in normal tissues, so it is an ideal molecular target for tumor diagnosis and targeted therapy.

In recent years, in the field of tumor immunotherapy, a new therapy using bispecific antibody (BsAb) to mediate T cells to kill cancer cells has emerged. In the human immune system, cytotoxic T lymphocytes (Cytotoxic TLymphocytes, CTLs) play an important role. They have T cell receptors (T cell receptors, TCRs), which can specifically recognize and bind cells expressing target antigens, and secrete perforated cells. Cytokinin and granzymes kill target cells. Due to the lack of immune adhesion molecules and co-stimulatory molecules in tumor cells, the body's immunity cannot be effectively recognized and activated, so that CTL cannot clear cancer cells. BsAb can bind to specific antigens of T cells and tumor cells at the same time, can form an immune synapse between T cells and tumor cells, and play the same function as T cell receptor (TCR), thereby activating the immune mechanism of T cells , which mediates the killing of target cells by T cells.

Several EGFRvIII antibodies have been reported, which can specifically recognize and bind to EGFRvIII antigens and EGFRvIII-positive tumor cells. These antibodies include:

(1) Mouse-derived monoclonal antibody mAb 806 (anti-EGFRvIII), the earliest anti-EGFRvIII antibody, was obtained by immunizing mice with NR6 mouse fibroblasts expressing EGFRvIII. The antibody can only bind to EGFRvIII antigen and EGFRvIII-positive cells, but cannot bind to T cells and cannot mediate T cell killing; it can only be targeted and killed by ADCC (antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity) or CDC (complement-dependent cytotoxicity) EGFRvIII antigen-positive tumor cells also have host-versus-graft reaction when they are used for human therapy, the main related papers (Cancer Res. 61.).

(2) Recombinant monoclonal antibody recombinant antibody anti-EGFRvIII (Rab DMvIII), developed by Stanford University, connects the antibody variable region with amino acid chains, and then connects it with the Fc segment of human IgG, and passes through Knobs-into-holes Transformation, increased affinity and improved humanization, eliminated most of the mouse sequence, the antibody can bind EGFRvIII antigen and EGFRvIII positive cells, but still can not bind T cells, can not mediate T cell killing; only through ADCC Or CDC can target and kill EGFRvIII antigen-positive tumor cells, but the clinical efficacy is not yet clear, the main related papers (BMC Biotechnol.2010Oct 7; 10:72.).

(3) Mouse-derived monoclonal antibody CH12 (anti-EGFRvIII), an antibody developed in China, developed by Shanghai Cancer Inst, Shanghai Yijie Biotech Company, is currently in phase II clinical trials, and can only bind to EGFRvIII antigen and express positive EGFRvIII EGFRvIII antigen-positive tumor cells can only be targeted and killed by ADCC or CDC. Patent source US8506963B2, main related papers (Oncotarget.2015Nov 17;6(36):38840-53.FASEB J.2012Jan;26(1):73-80.J BiolChem.2011Feb 18;286(7):5913-20 .).

Example 5

Method for killing SMMC-7721 cells by combining EGFRvIII×CD3 BsAb-1 antibody with DCIK cells

In this example, the target cells (T) are SMMC-7721 cells; the effector cells (E) are DCIK cells (dendritic cell activated and cytokine induced killer cells). Kit CytoTox96 Non-Radioactive Cytotoxicity Assay (Promega, cat.G1780)

Refer to the kit instructions for the steps, as follows:

a) The cultured target cells (SMMC-7721) were collected by trypsinization, counted, resuspended in DMEM medium containing 5% FBS, grouped according to 2×10 ⁴ /well as shown in Figure 6, and inoculated to 96 in the orifice plate.

b) The effector cells DCIK (E) were collected by centrifugation and counted, resuspended in DMEM medium containing 5% FBS, respectively according to the ratio of E:T=4:1 and E:T=8:1, according to the middle figure Add the 6 groups to the corresponding wells.

c) According to Figure 6, add each BsAb (dilute the purified solution to 1 ug/ml, that is, 1 ng/ul), the addition amount is 10 ng/well, 10 μl, set a group of no BsAb control (DCIK group), and each group has 4 duplicate wells ;

d) Incubate at 37°C for 3 hours and 15 minutes in a cell incubator;

e) Add 10 μl of lysate to the target cell maximum release lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) well, and mix well;

f) After continuing to incubate at 37°C for 45 minutes, centrifuge 96 wells at 250 g for 4 minutes, transfer 10 μl of supernatant from each well to a new 96-well plate, add 50 μl of LDH substrate solution to each well, and incubate at room temperature for 30 minutes;

g) Add 50 μl of stop solution to each well, and measure the absorbance at 490 nm.

h) According to the absorbance value, calculate the tumor killing efficiency according to the following formula:

Tumor killing efficiency (%)=[(E _BsAb -E _spon -T _spon )/(T _max -T _spon )]×100

Among them, E _BsAb represents the release of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in each experimental group; E _spon represents the spontaneous release of LDH by effector cells; T _spon represents the spontaneous release of LDH by target cells; T _max represents the maximum release of LDH by target cells. (According to the actual instructions, the culture medium background control was subtracted from the data of all wells before processing, and the volume correction value was subtracted from the experimental group).

The results of the combined DCIK cell killing SMMC-7721 cell experiment are shown in FIG. 7 .

In Figure 7, the vertical axis represents the relative value of the tumor killing rate; the horizontal axis represents different groups and the effect-to-target ratio (E:T).

It can be seen from Figure 7 that, compared with the DCIK group alone (no BsAb group), adding EGFRvIII×CD3 BsAb has an increased tumor killing rate, among which EGFRvIII×CD3 BsAb-1 has the best tumor killing effect, and the effective target ratio (E:T ) is 4:1 and 8:1, respectively up to 43.26%, 68.40%, indicating that EGFRvIII×CD3 BsAb can specifically mediate DCIK (main T cells) to kill target cells.
