Definitions

  • the invention belongs to the field of medicine, and relates to an anti-TIGIT-anti-PD-L1 bispecific antibody, its pharmaceutical composition and application.
  • T cell immunoglobulin and ITIM domains T cell immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains, TIGIT, also known as WUCAM, Vstm3, VSIG9
  • TIGIT T cell immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains
  • WUCAM WUCAM
  • Vstm3 VSIG9
  • TIGIT participates in a complex regulatory network in tumor immunity involving multiple immunosuppressive receptors (e.g., CD96/TACTILE, CD112R/PVRIG), a competitive costimulatory receptor (DNAM-1/CD226) and multiple ligands.
  • CD96/TACTILE multiple immunosuppressive receptors
  • CD112R/PVRIG a competitive costimulatory receptor
  • DNAM-1/CD226 multiple ligands.
  • CD155 PVR/NECL-5
  • CD112 Nectin-2/PVRL2
  • DNAM-1, TIGIT, and CD96 are expressed on T cells and NK cells and share CD155 as a ligand.
  • TIGIT TIGIT-mediated effector T cells and NK cell inhibition: (1) TIGIT on the surface of T/NK cells Bind to CD155, phosphorylate the immunoreceptor tyrosine inhibitory motif (ITIM) in TIGIT cells, and directly transduce inhibitory signals; (2) TIGIT promotes the formation of immune tolerance DCs by binding to CD155 on DCs , reducing the production of interleukin (IL)-12 and increasing IL-10, indirectly suppressing T cell responses; (3) TIGIT with inhibitory effect competes for binding to CD155 with a higher affinity than costimulatory receptor CD226, thereby limiting CD226-mediated activation.
  • ITIM immunoreceptor tyrosine inhibitory motif
  • TIGIT also directly binds CD226 in cis on cells, destroying its ability to bind to CD155 homodimers; (4) Tregs expressing TIGIT are highly inhibitory, and TIGIT+Tregs are activated to produce IL-10 and fibroblasts Proteoprotein-like protein 2 (Fgl2), which mediates T-cell suppression; (5) Fap2 protein from Fusobacterium nucleatum, an anaerobic Gram commensal bacterium associated with colorectal cancer, which directly binds to TIGIT , but does not bind to CD226, thereby inhibiting tumor immunity mediated by NK cells and T cells and regulating innate immune responses.
  • Fgl2 Proteoprotein-like protein 2
  • Programmed death 1 ligand 1 (programmed death 1 ligand 1, PD-L1), also known as CD274, is a member of the B7 family and a ligand for PD-1.
  • PD-L1 is a type I transmembrane protein with a total of 290 amino acids, including an IgV-like region, an IgC-like region, a transmembrane hydrophobic region and an intracellular region consisting of 30 amino acids.
  • PD-L1 negatively regulates the immune response. Studies have found that PD-L1 is mainly expressed in activated T cells, B cells, macrophages, and dendritic cells.
  • PD-L1 In addition to lymphocytes, PD-L1 is also expressed in other tissues such as thymus, heart, placenta, etc. Endothelial cells, and various non-lymphoid systems such as melanoma, liver cancer, gastric cancer, renal cell carcinoma, ovarian cancer, colon cancer, breast cancer, esophageal cancer, head and neck cancer, etc. (Akintunde Akinleye&Zoaib Rasool, Journal of Hematology&Oncology volume 12, Article number: 92 (2019)). PD-L1 has a certain generality in regulating autoreactive T and B cells and immune tolerance, and plays a role in peripheral tissue T and B cell responses. High expression of PD-L1 on tumor cells is associated with poor prognosis of cancer patients.

Description

抗TIGIT-抗PD-L1双特异性抗体、其药物组合物及用途 技术领域
本发明属于医药领域,涉及一种抗TIGIT-抗PD-L1双特异性抗体、其药物组合物及用途。
背景技术
T细胞免疫球蛋白和ITIM结构域(T cell immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains,TIGIT,又称WUCAM、Vstm3、VSIG9)是一种新型免疫抑制性受体,由活化的CD8 +T和CD4 +T细胞、自然杀伤(NK)细胞、调节性T细胞(Tregs)和滤泡辅助性T细胞表达。
TIGIT在肿瘤免疫中参与了一个复杂的调控网络,涉及多个免疫抑制受体(例如,CD96/TACTILE,CD112R/PVRIG)、一个竞争性共刺激受体(DNAM-1/CD226)和多个配体(例如,CD155(PVR/NECL-5),CD112(Nectin-2/PVRL2))。DNAM-1、TIGIT和CD96在T细胞和NK细胞上表达,并以配体形式共享CD155。
TIGIT在肿瘤免疫抑制中的作用和PD-1/PD-L1类似,目前的研究已经提出了几种TIGIT介导的效应T细胞和NK细胞抑制作用的机制:(1)T/NK细胞表面TIGIT与CD155结合,使TIGIT胞内的免疫受体酪氨酸抑制基序(ITIM)磷酸化,直接转导抑制性信号;(2)TIGIT通过与DCs上的CD155结合,促进形成免疫耐受性DCs,降低白细胞介素(IL)-12的产生和IL-10的增加,间接抑制T细胞应答;(3)具有抑制作用的TIGIT以比共刺激受体CD226更高的亲和力竞争结合CD155,从而限制CD226介导的激活。另外,TIGIT还直接在细胞上顺式结合CD226,破坏其与CD155的同源二聚体的结合能力;(4)表达TIGIT的Tregs具有高度抑制性,TIGIT+Tregs激活后产生IL-10和纤维蛋白原样蛋白2(Fgl2),介导T细胞抑制;(5)来自核梭杆菌(Fusobacterium nucleatum,一种与结直肠癌相关的厌氧革兰氏共生菌)的Fap2蛋白,可直接与TIGIT结合,但不与CD226结合,从而抑制NK细胞和T细胞介导的肿瘤免疫,调节先天免疫反应。
程序性死亡因子1配体1(programmed death 1 ligand 1,PD-L1)又称CD274,为B7家族成员,是PD-1的配体。PD-L1属于I型跨膜蛋白,共290个氨基酸,包含1个IgV样区、1个IgC样区、1个跨膜疏水区和1个由30个氨基酸组成的胞内区。与其 他B7家族分子不同的是,PD-L1具有负向调节免疫应答的作用。研究发现,PD-L1主要表达于活化的T细胞、B细胞、巨噬细胞和树突状细胞等,除淋巴细胞外,PD-L1也表达于其它多种组织如胸腺、心脏、胎盘等的内皮细胞,以及各类非淋巴系如黑色素瘤、肝癌、胃癌、肾细胞癌、卵巢癌、结肠癌、乳腺癌、食道癌、头颈癌等(Akintunde Akinleye&Zoaib Rasool,Journal of Hematology&Oncology volume 12,Article number:92(2019))。PD-L1在调节自身反应性T、B细胞和免疫耐受方面具有一定广泛性,并且在外周组织T和B细胞应答起作用。PD-L1在肿瘤细胞上的高表达与癌症患者的不良预后相关。
双特异性抗体虽然是抗体药物研发的一个方向,但面临诸多挑战,比如临床前评价模型、表达量低、稳定性差、工艺复杂、质控差异性大等问题,因此一直以来双特异性抗体的研发困难重重。
因此,需要开发一种特异性佳、疗效好且易于制备的针对TIGIT和PD-L1两个靶点的双特异性抗体。
发明内容
本发明人经过深入的研究和创造性的劳动,得到了一种抗TIGIT抗体,并基于该抗体构建了抗TIGIT-抗PD-L1的双特异性抗体。本发明人惊奇地发现,本发明的抗TIGIT抗体(也简称为抗体或本发明的抗体)和抗TIGIT-抗PD-L1双特异性抗体(也简称为双特异性抗体或本发明的双特异性抗体)与PD-L1和TIGIT的结合亲和力高(甚至在一个或多个方面优于阳性对照抗体该双特异性抗体),可以分别阻断PD-L1与其配体PD-1的结合以及TIGIT与其配体CD155/CD112的结合,减少或消除传递至细胞的抑制信号,在动物模型中施用本发明的抗体可以显著抑制肿瘤生长。由此提供了下述发明:

术语“抗体”是指通常由两对多肽链(每对具有一条“轻”(L)链和一条“重”(H)链)组成的免疫球蛋白分子。抗体轻链可分类为κ和λ轻链。重链可分类为μ、δ、γ、α或ε,并且分别将抗体的同种型定义为IgM、IgD、IgG、IgA和IgE。在轻链和重链内,可变区和恒定区通过大约12或更多个氨基酸的“J”区连接,重链还包含大约3个或更多个氨基酸的“D”区。各重链由重链可变区(VH)和重链恒定区(CH)组成。重链恒定区由3个结构域(CH1、CH2和CH3)组成。各轻链由轻链可变区(VL)和轻链恒定区(CL)组成。轻链恒定区由一个结构域CL组成。抗体的恒定区可介导免疫球蛋白与宿主组织或因子,包括免疫系统的各种细胞(例如,效应细胞)和经典补体系统的第一组分(C1q)的结合。VH和VL区还可被细分为具有高变性的区域(称为互补决定区(CDR)),其间散布有较保守的称为构架区(FR)的区域。各VH和VL由按下列顺序:FR1、CDR1、FR2、CDR2、FR3、CDR3和FR4从氨基末端至羧基末端排列的3个CDR和4个FR组成。各重链/轻链对的可变区(VH和VL)分别形成抗体结合部位。氨基酸至各区域或结构域的分配遵循Bethesda M.d.,Kabat Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest(National Institutes of Health,(1987and 1991)),或Chothia&Lesk J.Mol.Biol.1987;196:901-917;Chothia等人Nature 1989;342:878-883,或者IMGT编号系统定义,见Ehrenmann F,Kaas Q,Lefranc M P.IMGT/3Dstructure-DB and IMGT/DomainGapAlign:a database and a tool for immunoglobulins or antibodies,T cell receptors,MHC,IgSF and MhcSF[J].Nucleic acids research,2009;38(suppl_1):D301-D307的定义。
