Description

Optimized Fc variant and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of biological medicine, in particular to an optimized Fc variant and application thereof.
Background
Antibodies are a class of immunoglobulins that specifically bind to an antigen and in most mammals, including humans, consist of two heavy chains and two light chains. Each polypeptide chain contains two distinct regions, the variable and constant regions, respectively. The variable regions have significant sequence diversity between different antibodies and are responsible for binding to specific antigens. The constant region has a low degree of sequence diversity, is responsible for binding some native proteins and inducing some important biochemical events. Humans have five different types of antibodies, including IgA, igD, igE, igG (divided into IgG1, igG2, igG3, and IgG4 subtypes) and IgM. An IgG heavy chain consists of four immunoglobulin (Ig) domains in the order VH-CH1-CH2-CH3 from the N-terminus to the C-terminus, and an IgG light chain consists of two immunoglobulin domains in the order VL-CL from the N-terminus to the C-terminus.
In IgG, the Fc region comprises CH2 and CH3 and an N-terminal hinge region to CH 2. The Fc region interacts with many Fc receptors and ligands, inducing a range of effector functions. The Fc gamma receptor (fcγr) is an important family of Fc receptors that mediate communication between antibodies and immune cells. In humans, the receptor family includes FcgammaRI (CD 64), fcgammaRIa, fcgammaRIb, fcgammaRIc including isoforms, fcgammaRII (CD 32), fcgammaRIIa including isoforms H131 and R131, fcgammaRIIB including FcgammaRIIB-1 and FcgammaRIIB-2, and FcgammaRIIB, and FcgammaRIII (CD 16) including isoforms FcgammaRIIIa including isoforms V158 and F158, and FcgammaRIIIb including isoforms FcgammaRIIIb-NA 1 and FcgammaRIIIb-NA 2.
The formation of Fc/fcγr complexes can recruit immune cells to sites of binding antigen, mediating cytotoxicity and effector functions of phagocytes. Wherein the non-specific cytotoxic cells expressing fcγr recognize antibodies bound on target cells and the cell-mediated response that subsequently causes lysis of the target cells is referred to as antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity, i.e. ADCC effect, and wherein the non-specific cytotoxic cells expressing fcγr recognize antibodies bound on target cells and the cell-mediated response that subsequently causes phagocytosis of target cells is referred to as antibody-dependent cell-mediated phagocytosis, i.e. ADCP effect.
The overlapping but separate sites on Fc are the interfaces with complement protein C1 q. The formation of the Fc/C1q complex may mediate Complement Dependent Cytotoxicity (CDC), similar to the Fc/fcγr complex mediating ADCC. The site on Fc between CH2 and CH3 mediates interactions with the neonatal receptor FcRn.
Monoclonal antibodies are used therapeutically in a variety of conditions including cancer, inflammation, and cardiovascular disease, among others. Any subtle improvement in mortality is currently considered successful for anti-cancer therapies, while the anti-tumor efficacy of antibodies is related to ADCC effects, and thus there is a significant need to enhance ADCC effects. Because of the great need to enhance the ability of antibodies to destroy target cells, mutations in Fc have historically resulted in some proteins that can enhance ADCC, ADCP, CDC effects, where DLE mutations (S239D/a 330L/I332E, numbering according to the EU index of Kabat et al) enhance binding to fcγriiia and enhance ADCC effects, but DLE mutations diminish thermostability.
The half-life of an antibody is one of the important parameters describing pharmacokinetic PK, simply the time required for the blood concentration of the antibody drug to drop to half in vivo. IgG binding to FcRn can recycle endocytosed (endocytosed) antibodies from the endosome (endosome) to the blood, a process that results in a serum half-life of the antibodies between 1 and 3 weeks. The frequency of injection of antibodies is related to the half-life, and longer in vivo half-lives may be used with lower injection frequencies or doses. The frequency of injection of antibodies with Fc fusion proteins as a drug is related to the half-life, and longer in vivo half-lives may be used with lower injection frequency or dose. Mutations in Fc have now resulted in some proteins that enhance FcRn binding affinity and half-life in vivo, where YTE mutations (M252Y/S254T/T256E, numbering according to the EU index of Kabat et al) enhance binding to FcRn and increase half-life in vivo, with improved pharmacokinetic properties, but YTE mutations attenuate ADCC effects.
Thus, there is a need in the art for antibodies with enhanced therapeutic properties, including longer in vivo half-life and stronger effector function, while having better thermal stability.

This example measures Trastuzumab and designated Trastuzumab Fc variants binding to human Fc receptors FcyRI, fcyRIIa, fcyRIIIa and FcRn by surface plasmon resonance SPR.
Surface plasmon resonance is an optical phenomenon that can be used to track interactions between biomolecules in real time in the natural state, and has the characteristics of high sensitivity and high quantification. The method comprises the steps of coupling a biological molecule (target molecule) on the surface of a biological sensor, and injecting a solution containing another biological molecule (analyte) capable of interacting with the target molecule into and flowing through the surface of the biological sensor.
In this example, his-tagged FcyRI (CD 64) or FcgammaRIIa (H167) or FcgammaRIIIa (F176) was immobilized on a CM5 chip and then Trastuzumab WT and Fc variants were flowed through the chip in a range of concentrations when antibody binding to human FcRn was measured, trastuzumab WT and Fc variants were coupled to the CM5 chip surface and then human FcRn was flowed through the chip in a range of concentrations when antibody binding to human FcRn was measured.
Finally, data fitting was performed by 1:1 model and Langmiur analysis (for FcyRI) or by steady state model (for FcyRIIa, fcyRIIIa and FcRn).
Binding data for Trastuzumab and EFYTE variants of Trastuzumab Fc to human FcyRI are shown in the following table:
Binding data for Trastuzumab and EFYTE variants of Trastuzumab Fc to human fcγriia are shown in the following table:

binding data for Trastuzumab and EFYTE variants of Trastuzumab Fc in acidic environments to human FcRn are shown in the following table:
Binding data for Trastuzumab and EFYTE variants of Trastuzumab Fc in neutral environments to human FcRn are shown in the following table:
As shown in fig. 1, the EFYTE variants of Trastuzumab and Trastuzumab Fc substantially agree with human FcyRI in affinity, as shown in fig. 2, the EFYTE variant of Trastuzumab Fc has about 3.7-fold lower affinity for human fcyriia than Trastuzumab, as shown in fig. 3, the EFYTE variant of Trastuzumab Fc has about 10-fold higher affinity for human fcyriiia than Trastuzumab, as shown in fig. 4, the EFYTE variant of Trastuzumab Fc has about 10-fold higher affinity for human FcRn than Trastuzumab in acidic environment ph6.0, as shown in fig. 5, and at neutral environment ph7.4, both the EFYTE variants of Trastuzumab and Trastuzumab Fc have little binding to human FcRn.
In conclusion, compared with the parent Fc, the Fc region variant provided by the invention has better affinity to FcRn in an acidic environment and better binding capacity to FcRγRIIIa.
Example two Fc effector function assays
This example performed an antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) assay, an antibody-dependent cell-mediated phagocytosis (ADCP), and a complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) assay on Fc variants.
ADCC effector functions of Trastuzumab and its Fc engineered antibodies were detected by the reporter method and EC50 was calculated using GRAPHPAD PRISM software, specifically by stably integrating the CD16-V158 dependent luciferase reporter system in Jurkat cells (ATCC) and acting as effector cells. The target HER2 of the breast cancer cell SK-BR-3 (ATCC) which highly expresses Trastuzumab is used as a target cell, effector cells and target cells are paved into a 96-hole cell culture plate according to a certain proportion, antibodies to be detected are added into the cell plate after being subjected to gradient dilution, and a human IgG1 isotype control is used as a negative control. Luciferase activity was detected using a luciferase reporter assay kit (Promega) after incubation at 37 ℃ for 4-5h and EC50 was calculated using GRAPHPAD PRISM software. The specific data are shown in the following table:
As shown in fig. 6, the graph shows that ADCC effect of EFYTE variants of Trastuzumab Fc was about 7.2-fold enhanced over Trastuzumab and about 1.7-fold reduced over Trastuzumab as calculated from EC 50.
ADCC effects of Trastuzumab and Trastuzumab Fc variants were detected by Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) release and EC50 was calculated using GRAPHPAD PRISM software, in this example, by assessing the ADCC effect function of Trastuzumab and its Fc-engineered antibodies by detecting the level of lactate dehydrogenase released after tumor cells were killed by human Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMC) cells. Specifically, commercially available PBMC are used as effector cells, and breast cancer cells SK-BR-3 (ATCC) highly express Trastuzumab as target HER2 cells. Spreading effector cells and target cells into a 96-well cell culture plate according to a certain proportion, carrying out gradient dilution on an antibody to be detected, adding the antibody to be detected into the cell plate, and taking a human IgG1 isotype control as a negative control. Detection was performed with kit Cytotoxicity Detection Kit Plus (LDH) (Roche) after incubation for 4-5h at 37 ℃ and EC50 was calculated using GRAPHPAD PRISM7 software. The data are shown in the following table:
As shown in fig. 7, for the detection of antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) of Trastuzumab and Trastuzumab Fc variants by Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) release, the curve of fig. 7 shows that ADCC effect of EFYTE variants of Trastuzumab Fc was enhanced by about 3.8-fold over Trastuzumab and ADCC effect of YTE variants of Trastuzumab Fc was attenuated by about 5.2-fold over Trastuzumab, calculated as EC 50.
Another important FcyR-mediated effector function is antibody-dependent cell-mediated phagocytosis (ADCP). Phagocytosis of target cells not only can lead to destruction of target cells, but ADCP is associated with an adaptive immune response because phagocytosis is a potential mechanism by which antigen-presenting cells take up and process antigens. Thus, this example also demonstrates the ability of the Fc variants provided by the present invention to mediate ADCP.
As shown in FIG. 8, the ADCP effects of Trastuzumab and Trastuzumab Fc variants were detected by the reporter gene method. In this example, the ADCP effector functions of Trastuzumab and its Fc engineered antibodies were detected by the reporter gene method. The CD 32-dependent luciferase reporter system was stably integrated in Jurkat cells (ATCC) and served as effector cells. The target HER2 of the breast cancer cell SK-BR-3 (ATCC) which highly expresses Trastuzumab is used as a target cell, effector cells and target cells are paved into a 96-hole cell culture plate according to a certain proportion, antibodies to be detected are added into the cell plate after being subjected to gradient dilution, and a human IgG1 isotype control is used as a negative control. After incubation for 4-5h at 37 ℃, luciferase activity was detected using the luciferase reporter assay kit (Promega) and EC50 was calculated using GRAPHPAD PRISM software. The data are shown in the following table:
FIG. 8 shows that dose dependence of ADCP effect on antibody concentration was almost undetectable for the EFYTE variant of Trastuzumab Fc, whereas both YTE variant and DLE variant of Trastuzumab Fc (S239D/I332E/A330L) exhibited weaker ADCP effect than Trastuzumab.
The binding site of complement protein C1q on Fc is close to the FcyR binding site, so careful determination is needed as to whether the Fc variant retains its ability to recruit and activate complement. The specific data are shown in the following table:
Comment Abs C1q ELISA EC50(nM)
Trastuzumab TAD2001-BMK1-IgG1K 34
Trastuzumab+YTE WT2001-cAb21 80
Trastuzumab+DLE TAD2001-BMK1-v9-IgG1K No or weak binding
Trastuzumab+EFYTE WT2001-cAb51 Weak binding
Negative control W332-1.80.12.xAb.hIgG1 32
As shown in fig. 9, a dose response curve was obtained for Trastuzumab and Trastuzumab Fc variants binding ELISA assays of C1 q. According to EC50 calculations, the YTE variant of Trastuzumab Fc binds to C1q approximately 2.4 fold less than Trastuzumab, while the DLE variant of Trastuzumab Fc binds to little C1q, and the EFYTE variant of Trastuzumab Fc binds to C1q with weaker binding capacity, which is intermediate between the YTE variant and DLE variant of Trastuzumab Fc. Examples thermal stability analysis of tri-Fc variants
The melting temperature Tm was measured using Differential Scanning Fluorescence (DSF) to measure the thermal stability of Fc variants. The higher the thermal stability of the antibody, the less spontaneous unfolding and immunogenicity, and better drug formation.
The present example mixes an antibody with a dye that fluoresces when bound to a hydrophobic region. The mixture is subjected to a temperature change of 36 ℃ gradually rising to 86 ℃ and as the protein unfolds, the hydrophobic residues buried inside start to be exposed and the fluorescence intensity will increase dramatically. The Tm value was measured and calculated using QuantStudio Flex Real-Time PCR system, and the higher the Tm1 value, the better the thermal stability, and the specific data are shown in the following table:
As shown in the table above, tm1 of the YTE variant of Trastuzumab Fc was reduced by 5.3 ℃ compared to Trastuzumab, tm1 of the DLE variant of Trastuzumab Fc was reduced by 18 ℃ and Tm1 of the EFYTE variant of Trastuzumab Fc was reduced by 9.4 ℃. Since the Tm1 of a monoclonal antibody is generally in an acceptable normal range above 55 ℃, the EFYTE variant Tm1 of the invention has normal thermostability at 58.5 ℃.
In summary, the above embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, but any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the scope of the present invention.
