Definitions
- the present invention relates to a cancer therapeutic composition for use in combination with other anticancer agents containing an anti-CD26 antibody as an active ingredient.
- the present invention also relates to the field of antibody-drug conjugates (ADC).
- ADC antibody-drug conjugates
- Non-patent Document 1 In chemotherapy for mesothelioma, it has been reported that drug reactivity is as low as 20% or less when treated with an anticancer agent alone (Non-patent Document 1). Therefore, it has been attempted to use a plurality of drugs in combination for the purpose of more effective treatment of mesothelioma. For example, it has been reported that cisplatin and pemetrex are superior in therapeutic effect when used in combination as compared with a single agent (Non-patent Document 2). For this reason, the combined use of cisplatin and pemetrexide is currently applied as standard chemotherapy for mesothelioma (Non-patent Document 3).
- the average survival time is only less than 12 months, and it is necessary to develop a chemotherapy having a higher therapeutic effect.
- the cytotoxic effect of the combination therapy of cisplatin and pemetrexide is related to cytotoxicity, and there is a need for a therapy with few side effects on patients such as non-platinum-based treatment.
- Gemcitabine is a nucleoside derivative in which the hydrogen at the 2 ′ position of the sugar chain of deoxycytidine is substituted with fluorine, and its mechanism of action is inhibition of DNA synthesis. It is excellent in safety (Non-Patent Document 4) and is widely used as an anticancer agent.
- Non-Patent Document 4 Non-Patent Document 4
- the therapeutic effect on mesothelioma of gemcitabine alone is not sufficient, and it is expected to develop a combination therapy having a high therapeutic effect by combining gemcitabine with an appropriate anticancer agent.
- pemetrex and gemcitabine which have been shown to be effective alone as anticancer agents, have been tried, but mesothelioma treatment has only the same effect as pemetrexide alone in prolonging the average survival time.
- Non-patent document 5 Furthermore, when cisplatin-pemetrexide combination and cisplatin-gemcitabine combination were compared in the treatment of mesothelioma, it was reported that cisplatin-pemetrexide combination was superior (Non-patent Document 6). Moreover, even if it combines epirubicin and gemcitabine, the improvement effect by combined use is hardly acquired (nonpatent literature 7). Similarly, it has been reported that the combined use of vinorelbine and gemcitabine, which is a vinca alkaloid antineoplastic agent, has no improvement effect due to the combination (Non-patent Document 8). Therefore, the improvement effect by combined use is not acquired in these gemcitabine combination agents tried until now.
- Non-patent Document 9 the combined use of docetaxel and gemcitabine has an average survival time of 15 months, and a slight improvement effect by the combined use is recognized.
- methotoxalate which is an antifolate
- gemcitabine it has been reported that the average survival time is slightly extended to 19.4 months (Non-patent Document 10).
- anticancer drugs used in combination with these gemcitabine act on cells non-selectively, and there is concern about the induction of side effects.
- Non-patent Document 11 EGFR inhibitor gefitinib (Iressa) is frequently used, and the development of combination therapy with drugs other than cisplatin and gemcitabine is required.
- erythropoietin may be administered in the standard treatment of mesothelioma because anemia is observed, erythropoietin does not enhance the cytotoxic effect on mesothelioma cell lines combined with cisplatin and pemetrex (Non-patent literature) 12). It has been reported that vorinostat, a histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor, does not prolong life-prolonging effect compared to placebo in mesothelioma patients (Non-patent Document 13).
- HDAC histone deacetylase
- Non-patent Document 14 It has been reported that valproate, an HDAC inhibitor and an anticonvulsant, enhances the antitumor activity of a combination of cisplatin and pemetrex in an experiment using a mesothelioma cell line.
- valproate is susceptible to side effects such as nausea and vomiting, and it is considered difficult to administer it to cancer patients with severe fatigue.
- Non-patent Document 16 Treatment by gene transfer is currently difficult in clinical practice, and a simpler and more effective method is desired because of the complexity in practical use.
- VEGF vascular endothelial growth factor
- Non-patent Document 18 The addition of the low-molecular weight compound sunitinib, a receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) inhibitor, to the standard therapy cisplatin-pemetrexide combination therapy is 10 non-small cell carcinomas, 1 mesothelioma in the phase I clinical trial However, drug interaction has not been confirmed (Non-patent Document 18).
- RTK receptor tyrosine kinase
- Non-patent Document 19 In an experiment using a mesothelioma cell line, it was reported that interferon ⁇ synergistically enhanced the cytotoxic activity of cisplatin and pemetrexide (Non-patent Document 19). This effect is thought to be due to p53 expression induced by interferon ⁇ . However, it seems that there are problems of side effects such as fever and fatigue associated with interferon ⁇ administration in practical use.
- Non-Patent Document 20 The clinical features of mesothelioma are characterized by infiltration into the pleura (Non-Patent Document 20), and as a symptom, dyspnea due to pleural effusion due to pleural infiltration appears strongly. Although the characteristic of mesothelioma is infiltration, its effect on invasion has not been fully analyzed. It has been reported that the introduction of the SOCS-1 gene into the mesothelioma cells described above synergistically increases the anti-invasive effect of the cisplatin-pemetrexide combination (Non-patent Document 21).
- Mesothelin is a 40 kDa glycoprotein that is overexpressed in mesothelioma, pancreatic cancer, and ovarian cancer, and mesothelin has been reported to promote invasion of mesothelioma cell lines (Non-Patent Document 22). No low molecular compound inhibitor or antibody effective against mesothelin has been reported yet. In addition, it has been reported that pregnancy-related plasma protein A (PAPPA) promotes invasion in experiments using mesothelioma cell lines (Non-patent Document 23), but it is effective for mesothelioma targeting PAPPA. No substance has been reported.
- PAPPA pregnancy-related plasma protein A
- Antibody drug conjugates are being put into practical use mainly as targeted therapy for malignant tumors.
- a drug having an antitumor action to an antibody that specifically binds to a tumor cell, there is an advantage that the drug is efficiently introduced into the tumor cell and side effects due to toxicity to non-tumor cells are reduced.
- the antibody drug conjugate is made by the following procedure. Select drugs that have an extremely high antitumor effect on target tumor cells from antibodies that are specifically expressed in tumor cells to humanized antibodies from monoclonal antibodies to humans using in silico modeling technology. The humanized antibody is bound by a crosslinker.
- CD26 is a transmembrane protein and a costimulatory molecule involved in T cell activation, but has recently been shown to be highly expressed in various malignant tumors including malignant mesothelioma. Since CD26 is cancer-specific, its antitumor effect is expected (Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2). In particular, CD26 is overexpressed in mesothelioma (Non-patent Document 24), and anti-CD26 antibody is considered to be highly safe. Actually, anti-CD26 antibody suppresses the growth of mesothelioma cells (Non-patent Document 25; Patent Document 3), and thus YS110, which is already a humanized anti-CD26 antibody, has completed phase I clinical trials in France. And its safety has been confirmed (Non-Patent Document 26). However, there has been no report on the combined use of an anti-CD26 antibody and other drugs so far.
- the standard treatment of mesothelioma chemotherapy is currently being studied in many ways, including the combination of other drugs, in order to solve the problem of cisplatin-pemetrexide combination therapy.
- the anti-tumor effect of the standard therapy cisplatin-pemetrexide combination is based on the cytotoxic effect, so when additional drugs are added to the standard therapy, the added drugs are not based on cytotoxicity and are highly safe And high effectiveness is required.
- CD26 is overexpressed in mesothelioma and is considered highly safe.
- anti-CD26 antibodies inhibit the growth of mesothelioma cells, and phase I clinical trials are ongoing for mesothelioma patients. Therefore, the present inventors examined a therapeutic method combining an anti-CD26 antibody and a standard therapy cisplatin-pemetrex combination for proliferation and invasion in a mesothelioma cell line. As a result, it was clarified that the anti-CD26 antibody was combined with the standard therapy cisplatin-pemetrexide combination to enhance the growth inhibitory effect of mesothelioma.
- the present inventors have a synergistic enhancement of the invasion inhibitory effect by combining the anti-CD26 antibody with the combination of cisplatin and pemetrex, while the combined use of cisplatin and pemetrex increases the invasion suppression effect only slightly. I found out.
- the present inventors have a high therapeutic effect by using humanized CD26 antibody and gemcitabine or gefetinib for the growth of mesothelioma cell line, The present inventors have found that a method for treating mesothelioma having excellent safety can be provided.
- the present invention relates to a drug obtained by combining an anti-CD26 antibody and another drug, or a complex formed by binding an anti-CD26 antibody and triptolide. More specifically, the present invention relates to the following inventions. (1) A complex formed by binding an anti-CD26 antibody or a fragment thereof and triptolide. (2) The complex according to (1), wherein the anti-CD26 antibody or a fragment thereof is a humanized antibody or a fragment thereof.

本明細書において「抗体」とは、免疫グロブリン分子の可変領域に位置する、少なくとも1つの抗原認識部位を介して、糖質、ポリヌクレオチド、脂質、抗体等の標的に特異的に結合可能な免疫グロブリン分子である。本明細書で使用する場合、前記用語は、完全体のポリクローナル抗体またはモノクローナル抗体だけでなく、それらの断片(Fab、Fab’、F(ab’)2、Fv等)、1本鎖(ScFv)、それらの変異体、抗体部分を含む融合タンパク質、および抗原認識部位を含む免疫グロブリン分子の他の修飾構造体が含まれる。抗体は、IgG、IgA、またはIgM(またはこれらのサブクラス)などの抗体の任意のクラスを含み、特定のクラスである必要は無い。重鎖の定常ドメインの抗体アミノ酸配列により、免疫グロブリンは、異なるクラスに分類される。5つの主な免疫グロブリンのクラス:IgA、IgD、IgE、IgGおよびIgMがあり、これらの幾つかは、例えば、IgG1、IgG2、IgG3、IgG4、IgA1およびIgA2というサブクラス(アイソタイプ)にさらに細分化されうる。異なるクラスの免疫グロブリンの対応する重鎖の定常ドメインは、それぞれ、α、δ、ε、γおよびμと呼ばれている。異なるクラスの免疫グロブリンごとのサブユニット構造および3次元構造は、よく知られている。
ある実施態様において、本明細書において用いられる抗CD26抗体は、ヒトCD26に特異的に結合する。ある実施態様において、本明細書において記載される抗CD26抗体は、マウスモノクローナル抗体14D10と同じエピトープに結合する。ある実施態様において、本明細書において記載される抗CD26抗体は、競合アッセイにおいて、ヒトCD26に対するマウスモノクローナル抗体14D10の結合を遮断する能力がある(マウスモノクローナル抗体14D10と競合する)。ある実施態様において、本明細書において記載される抗CD26抗体は、競合アッセイにおいてヒトCD26に対するマウスモノクローナル抗体1F7の結合を遮断する能力がある(マウスモノクローナル抗体1F7と競合する)。競合アッセイは、固定化したエピトープ又は抗原に対して被験抗体を接触させた後、未結合の抗体を洗浄により除去し、次いで、標識化した14D10抗体又は1F7抗体と該エピトープ又は抗原と接触させ、、未結合の抗体を洗浄により除去した後に結合した14D10抗体又は1F7抗体を検出することにより行うことができる。被験抗体と接触させていないコントロールへの14D10抗体又は1F7抗体とエピトープ又は抗原との結合と比較して、被験抗体を接触させた場合における14D10抗体又は1F7抗体とエピトープ又は抗原への結合が減少している場合には、競合アッセイにおいて、14D10抗体又は1F7抗体の結合を遮断する能力がある(14D10抗体又は1F7抗体と競合する)と判定することができる。

本発明の複合体又は併用剤は、治療方法、悪性細胞の溶解方法を含む様々な適用に有用であるが、これらに限定されるものではない。例えば、本発明は、本発明の複合体又は併用剤を有効成分として含有する医薬組成物、悪性中皮腫治療薬、悪性中皮腫細胞の増殖阻害剤、悪性中皮腫細胞の溶解剤を含む。又は、本発明は、医薬組成物、悪性中皮腫治療薬、悪性中皮腫細胞の増殖阻害剤、悪性中皮腫細胞の溶解剤として使用するための本発明の複合体又は併用剤であってもよい。あるいは、本発明は、医薬組成物、悪性中皮腫治療薬、悪性中皮腫細胞の増殖阻害剤、悪性中皮腫細胞の溶解剤の製造における、本発明の複合体の使用又は抗CD26抗体及び抗腫瘍剤の使用であってもよい。一態様では本発明は、有効量の本発明の複合体又は併用剤をそれを必要とする患者に投与することを備える、悪性中皮腫の治療方法、悪性中皮腫細胞の増殖阻害方法、悪性中皮腫細胞の溶解方法を含む。よって、本発明は、CD26発現細胞の増殖を阻害する方法も提供する。CD26発現細胞の増殖阻害は、部分的な増殖阻害ないし完全な増殖阻害を含む、観察可能なあらゆるレベルの阻害を含む。ある実施態様では、細胞増殖は、少なくとも約10%、少なくとも約25%、少なくとも約50%、少なくとも約75%、少なくとも約90%、少なくとも約95%、少なくとも約98%、または約100%阻害される。本方法は、in vitroまたはin vivoで行ってもよい。ある実施態様では、方法は、細胞を本明細書中に記載される複合体又は併用剤と接触させる工程を含む。一般には、細胞増殖を阻害するのに十分な量の複合体又は併用剤と細胞とを接触させる。

(1)原料
ヒト化抗CD26抗体YS110は、既に報告された手法により抗CD26マウス抗体14D10を元として設計し、発現させた(国際公開公報WO2007/014169);Inamoto Tら、Clin Cancer Res(2007)13:4191-200参照)。以下の構造を有するトリプトライド(triptolide)(Molecular Formula: C20H24O6;MW=360.4)は、Shaanxi Taiji Technology(陝西省、中国)から購入した。
ChemGenesis Inc.(東京、日本)により、トリプトライドにSH基を導入した。得られたトリプトライド誘導体をTR1と命名した。TR1は科学的安定性を高めるため、以下の構造を有するS-S結合で結合した二量体として提供された。
前記方法に従って、ヘテロ二価性リンカー(SPDP、GMBS、SMCC)を用いてYS110とTR1を結合させた。BCA protein assay reagent kit(Thermo Scientific Inc.、Waltham、MA)により測定された最終産物濃度は約1mg/mlであった。DTNB assayにより産物中の残存非結合TR1-SHを測定したが、ほとんど検出できなかった(データ非図示)。
CD26陰性悪性中皮腫細胞株であるMSTO-211H(MSTO)(American Type Cell Culture Collection、Manassas、VA)にCD26遺伝子を導入し、MSTO-clone12と名づけた(Aoe Kら、Clin Cancer Res.(2012)18:1447-56)。CD26陰性T細胞系白血病細胞株であるJurkat(American Type Cell Culture Collection、Manassas、VA)にCD26遺伝子を導入し、Jurkat CD26(+)と名づけた(Tanaka Tら、Proc Natl Acad Sci USA(1993)90:4586-90)。悪性中皮腫から樹立したCD26陽性細胞株JMNは、東京大学医科学研究所の森本 幾夫先生から提供いただいた。全ての細胞株は、10%熱不活化ウシ胎児血清(FBS、Life Technologies、Carlsbad、CA)、ABPC(100μg/ml)、及びStreptomycin(100μg/ml)含有RPMI培地(カタログ番号11875-093、Life Technologies、Carlsbad、CA)中、37℃、5%CO2環境下で培養した。
(実施例3)マススペクトルアッセイ
Y-TR1の薬剤/抗体比は、限外ろ過の後、Autoflex III(Bruker Corporation、Billerica、MA)を用いて、マトリックス支援レーザー脱離イオン化法(MALDI-TOFmass)により分析した。
Y-TR1のCD26陽性悪性中皮腫細胞結合を調べるため、培養したMSTO-wt細胞(CD26陰性)及びMSTO-clone12細胞(CD26陽性)を回収し、1×106細胞を1μg/ml、10μg/ml、100μg/mlのY-TR1と共に4℃で30分間培養した。細胞を3回洗浄し、1:100希釈でFITC結合ウサギ抗ヒトIgG(カタログ番号6140-02、Southern Biotech、Birmingham、AL)と共に4℃で30分間培養した。3回洗浄後、Epics XL-MCL(Beckman Coulter、Brea、CA)を用いて、FACS分析を行った。
トリプトライド、YS110及びY-TR1の悪性中皮腫細胞株及びT細胞系白血病細胞株に対する細胞毒性は、ホルマザン色素の比色検出に基づくcolorimetric cell proliferation kit WST-1(カタログ番号11644807001、Roche Applied Science、Rotkreuz、Switzerland)を用いて測定した。概略としては、5×103細胞のMSTO-wt、MSTO-clone12、JMN、Jurkat CD26(-)、及びJurkat CD26(+)細胞を、10%熱不活化ウシ胎児血清、ABPC(100μg/ml)及びStreptomycin(100μg/ml)含有RPMI培地中、96ウェルプレート内で、トリプトライド(0~100nM)、TR1(0~100nM)、YS110(0~100μg/ml)、又はY-TR1(0~100ug/ml)と共に、37℃、5%CO2環境下で48時間培養した。WST-1アッセイは、製造者が提供するマニュアルに従って実施した。各サンプルの630nmにおけるバックグラウンド吸光度を450nmにおける測定値から差し引いた。実験はトリプリケートで行い、代表的な結果を示した。
NOD/SCID(NOD/LtSz-scid)マウスを特定病原体不在(SPF)施設内のマイクロアイソレーターケージで維持し、滅菌食及び滅菌水を自由摂取させた。動物実験プロトコルは動物実験委員会の承認を得て行った。
1×107細胞の培養JMN細胞を6-8週齢のメスNOD/SCIDマウスに皮下投与した。全部で30匹の動物をランダムに3種類の治療群、すなわち、対照群、YS110投与群、及びY-TR1投与群に分けた。移植日からYS110及びY-TR1群は4mg/kg/doseのYS110又はY-TR1を腹膜内に週3回投与し、全部で9回投与した。対照群は同量のPBSを投与した。腫瘍が明らかに目視できる用になった時点で腫瘍を摘出し、大きさをノギスで計測した。推定腫瘍体積は、式:π/6×L×W×Wを計算して求めた(Tomayko MMら、Cancer Chemother Pharmacol.(1989)24:148-54)。各群の平均腫瘍体積間の統計的有意性は、フィッシャーのPLSD多重比較法(Fisher’s protected least-square differences(PLSD)multiple comparison test)を用いて決定した。統計分析はSPSSソフトウェア(IBM、Armonk、NY)を用いて行った。
中皮腫細胞株におけるCD26発現をFACSにより測定して確認した。CD26陽性中皮腫細胞株のうち、肉腫型中皮腫細胞株としてACC-MESO1、JMNを、上皮型中皮腫細胞株としてNCI-H2452、NCI-H226を使用した。ACC-MESO1、JMN、NCI-H2452、NCI-H226細胞を抗CD26モノクローナル抗体-FITCで染色後、FACS解析した。
結果を図8に示す。実験した全ての細胞株において、CD26が発現していることが確認された。

(1)シスプラチンおよびペメトレキシドの細胞浸潤に対する作用
MESO1細胞又はH2452細胞(2.5×104細胞/ウェル)をBoyden chamberに撒いた1時間後、シスプラチン(5、10、30μM)又はペメトレキシド(1、10、30μM)を添加して(n=5)、Boyden chamber invasion assayを行った。細胞播種から24時間後に浸潤細胞をDiff-Qick-staining kitで染色した。有意差検定はTwo-tailed t-test(vs Cont)により行った。
結果を図17に示す。シスプラチンは10および30μMにおいてinvasionを抑制した。一方、ペメトレキシドは30μMにおいてもinvasionに対して抑制作用を示さなかった。
MESO1細胞又はH2452細胞(2.5×104細胞/ウェル)をBoyden chamberに撒いた1時間後、シスプラチン(0、3、10μM)とペメトレキシド(0、10、30μM)とを組み合わせを添加して(n=5)、Boyden chamber invasion assayを行った。細胞播種から24時間後に浸潤細胞をDiff-Qick-staining kitで染色した。有意差検定はTwo-tailed t-test(vs Cont)により行った。
結果を図18に示す。シスプラチンは10μMにおいて細胞浸潤を抑制したがペメトレキシドは30μMにおいてもシスプラチンによる細胞浸潤抑制効果を増強しなかった。したがって、シスプラチンにペメトレキシドを組み合わせても細胞浸潤に対する抑制効果は増強されず、細胞浸潤に対してはシスプラチンとシスプラチン-ペメトレキシドは同等であることが示された。

薬物療法における相乗効果は互いの関与分子が相互作用していることによりもたらされると考えられる。したがって、ある化学療法剤がCD26と相互作用しながら抗癌効果を発揮している場合にはCD26抗体との併用で相乗効果の期待できる可能性が考えられる。CD26とCD9は相互作用を行い、互いにcounterしている(Okamotoら、PLOS One(2014)9(1):e86671)。したがってある化学療法剤がCD26と相互作用している場合にはその効果がCD9により減弱される可能性がある。よって、CD26とCD9を共発現している中皮腫細胞株MESO1、H2452とCD26を発現しているがCD9を発現していない細胞株JMN、H226を用いて化学療法剤がCD26抗体との併用により相乗効果が期待できるかどうかのスクリーニング系設定の検討を行った。
MESO1、JMN細胞株を用いて、シスプラチン(10-9~10-4M)及びペメトレキシド(10-9~10-4M)の増殖抑制効果を比較した。
結果を図32に示す。A:シスプラチンの増殖抑制効果を比較した結果、シスプラチンの増殖抑制効果はMESO1、JMN間で差がなかった。B:ペメトレキシドの増殖抑制効果を比較した結果、ペメトレキシドの増殖抑制効果はMESO1、JMN間で差がなかった。したがって抗CD26抗体とシスプラチンとの併用、抗CD26抗体とペメトレキシドとの併用では相乗効果が期待されない可能性が示唆された。
MESO1、H2452、JMN、H226細胞株を用いて、ゲムシタビン(10-9~10-4M)の増殖抑制効果を比較した。
結果を図33に示す。A:ゲムシタビンの増殖抑制効果をMESO1、JMNで比較した結果、ゲムシタビンはJMNにおいてMESO1においてよりも有意に強い増殖抑制効果を示した。B:ゲムシタビンの増殖抑制効果をH2452、H226で比較した結果、ゲムシタビンはH226においてH2452においてよりも有意に強い増殖抑制効果を示した。ゲムシタビンはMESO1とJMN、H2452とH226間での比較においてCD9の発現していないJMN、H226では強い増殖抑制効果が観察された。したがって、抗CD26抗体とゲムシタビンの併用では相乗効果の期待できる可能性が示唆された。
