Description

Single-domain antibody capable of targeting PCSK9 binding, and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of antibody medicines in biological medicines, in particular to a single-domain antibody capable of targeting and combining PCSK9 (precursor subtilisin converting enzyme 9), and a preparation method and application of the single-domain antibody.
Background
At present, medicines for reducing cholesterol are mainly used for treating cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in the market. The drugs for lowering cholesterol mainly include statins and the like. Although statins are excellent in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, the disadvantages that occur are gradually discovered as they are widely used. Firstly, statin treatment patients still have a high residual risk of cardiovascular events, and secondly, a large number of patients cannot tolerate statin, especially familial hypercholesterolemia, and even with the maximum dose of the most effective statin treatment, the goal of lowering the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentration cannot be achieved. Most importantly, statins have various side effects, such as causing patient blood glucose abnormalities, muscle toxicity, memory and cognitive impairment, serious side effects leading to rhabdomyolysis and acute renal failure, and a significant proportion of patients terminate treatment due to intolerable side effect-related muscle pain.
The precursor subtilisin-converting enzyme 9 (PCSK 9) is a novel preprotein-converting enzyme belonging to the subtilisin subfamily and is one of the important influencing factors of autosomal dominant familial hypercholesterolemia. It was found that PCSK9 has a certain correlation with inflammatory responses in addition to affecting plasma cholesterol levels and modulating neuronal apoptosis. Current research on PCSK9 is mainly focused on the regulatory functions of liver lipid metabolism. Previous studies have shown that PCSK9 can regulate liver lipid metabolism by promoting the degradation of low density lipoprotein receptor (LDL-R) of hepatocytes, thereby affecting the level of low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c) in plasma. However, PCSK9 has two mutation types, a gain-of-function mutation and a loss-of-function mutation. Group experiments show that several mutations in PCSK9 "gain of function" often occur in individuals with chromosomal dominant hypercholesterolemia, whereas mutations in PCSK9 "loss of function" are associated with reduced plasma cholesterol, with a significant reduction in the risk of coronary heart disease in individuals with PCSK9 loss of function mutations. In 2005, hobbs et al reported that LDL-c levels in individuals carrying PCSK9 nonsense mutant genes were 28% lower than in general, in 2006, hobbs et al also published the effect of PCSK9 gene mutations on coronary heart disease, based on an atherosclerosis risk survey, which was followed up to 15 years, and found that the incidence of coronary heart disease in populations lacking 1 or2 PCSK9 functional genes was significantly lower than in general. Copenhagen Heart Study it was found that functional deletion of the PCSK9 gene reduced LDL-c levels by 11-15% and coronary heart disease prevalence by 6-46%. Zimbabwe et al reported that deletion mutations in PCSK9 reduced LDL-c levels by 27% in african females. PCSK9 inhibitors offer a completely new therapeutic modality against LDL-c, considered as the greatest advancement in the field of lipid lowering after statins. The appearance of PCSK9 inhibitors brings good news to patients with serious side effects when the statin is taken and patients with the statin treatment failing to reach the LDL-c target level, such as hereditary hypercholesterolemia patients.
The PCSK9 inhibitor can inhibit LDL-R recovery and NF- κB channel, so as to reduce the risk of thrombus, inflammation, vascular endothelial cell activation and other acute coronary syndromes. Potential research projects in the field of PCSK9 inhibitors include inhibitor protein antibodies, siRNA, antisense oligonucleotides, small molecule inhibitors and the like. The monoclonal antibody medicament is a main field of research on the PCSK9 inhibitor at present because of the characteristics of strong targeting, high specificity, low toxic and side effects and the like. Studies at animal level showed that LDL-R expression levels in mouse liver were significantly increased and LDL-c concentration in blood was reduced by 30% after addition of neutralizing anti-PCSK 9 antibody. PCSK9 monoclonal antibodies also show significant effects in primates, and the effect of lowering LDL-c levels can be maintained for more than several weeks. Up to now, no obvious toxic and side effects of anti-PCSK 9 protein monoclonal antibodies are found, and only slight side effects such as local injection reaction, diarrhea and headache are reported. Praluent (Alirocumab) of Sanofei, repatha (evolocumab) of Ind and IBI-306 (tafolecimab) of Xindada are currently the only three approved humanized PCSK9 antibodies in the global market.
Antibody drugs are one of the main directions of the development of new drugs at present, and have been widely used in the fields of diagnosis, prevention and treatment of infectious diseases and bioscience research. Up to now, 100 remaining antibody drugs have been successfully marketed, 4 of the top 10 drugs sold worldwide in 2021 are antibody drugs. After a heavy chain antibody naturally lacking the light chain and constant region I (CH 1) regions was found in alpaca blood from Hamers et al in 1993, the variable region of the heavy chain antibody is also called a Single-domain-antibody (sdAb) gradually replaces other small antibodies, and becomes a hotspot for the development of novel antibody drugs. sdabs are typically only about 16 kilodaltons in size, about one tenth of conventional antibodies in which disulfide bonds are present, and a large number of hydrophilic residues are present on the surface, which is more resistant to heat and pH. The sdAb lacks of Fc segment and light chain, so that the sdAb can recognize hidden epitope or small epitope which cannot be recognized by traditional antibodies, and complement reaction is avoided, and in addition, the single domain antibody has the advantages of high stability, low toxicity, strong solubility, easiness in target screening and direct expression in prokaryotic microorganisms, good economy and the like. Sequence homology analysis showed that the sdAb germline gene sequence of alpaca sdabs was highly homologous to human VH3, but CDR1 and CDR3 were slightly longer than human, CDR3 protruding outward in tertiary structure, thus presumably higher antigen binding specificity and affinity. In view of the above advantages, sdabs are being developed as monoclonal antibodies in disease diagnosis and treatment, and are widely used in the development of inhibitors of enzymes, and biological inhibitors of tumors, infections, and inflammation. However, the small volume of single domain antibodies provides many advantages for their therapeutic function, but small molecule proteins are extremely easily eliminated in vivo. The sdAb is modified into target enzyme, transmembrane protein or bivalent through genetic engineering, so that the activity and stability of the antibody can be effectively improved, and the aim of research is fulfilled. In studies on inhibition of viral replication, it was found that bivalent single domain antibodies were at least 60-fold more effective than monovalent single domain antibodies and had a longer duration of action in animals, effectively delaying the death time of animals. The prospect of antibody drugs is huge, but domestic antibody drugs are still in an early stage. Therefore, the development of the domestic low-cost PCSK9 antibody inhibitor meets the urgent requirements of Chinese citizens on antibody medicines and has profound and positive significance.
The development of PCSK9 single-domain antibodies in the prior art is concentrated on murine traditional antibodies, the traditional antibodies are difficult to express in a large amount or humanized, the time and the cost are long, the effective antibody yield is low, the development of PCSK9 antibody inhibitors is severely limited, and particularly, domestic antibody medicines are just in a starting stage and can not meet the requirements of CVD patients.
