Background
The monoclonal antibody has definite target, good clinical application safety and obvious curative effect, and at present, 10 tumor monoclonal antibodies are approved by the United states FDA to be sold on the market and become first-line medicaments for treating various malignant tumors. On the one hand, however, the full-length antibody has a large molecular weight, is not easy to enter solid tumor tissues, and is difficult to achieve an effective treatment concentration in tumors, so that an anti-tumor effect is achieved. On the other hand, the tumor pathogenesis is complex, the signal paths in cells are redundant or crossed, the curative effect of the single target is insufficient, and the drug resistance is easy to form. However, the combined treatment by applying a plurality of monoclonal antibodies aiming at different targets has better curative effect than single target treatment, but the cost is very expensive, and the patients are difficult to bear. Therefore, it is very necessary to develop a multi-target antibody protein drug with small molecular weight.
Programmed death molecule 1 (PD-1) is a T cell natural immunosuppressive molecule, and tumor cells can act on the surface PD-1 of the T cells by over-expressing ligands (PD-L1/PD-L2) of the PD-1 on the cell surface, activate a PD-1 pathway, induce the apoptosis of the T cells and form immune escape and tolerance. Thus, PD-1 has become an important target for tumor therapy. A phase I clinical trial (296 patients) of a PD-1 antibody (BMS-936558 or MDX-1106) shows that the PD-1 antibody can enable one fourth to one fifth of patients with non-small cell lung cancer, melanoma or renal cell carcinoma to generate objective responses (J Clin Oncol.2010;28: 3167-75; N Engl J Med.2012;366: 2443-54), and the antibody has good clinical application value.
VEGF has the function of promoting angiogenesis, tumor cells can secrete VEGF in a large quantity, and the VEGF acts on VEGFR 1(Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 1, also called FLT-1) and VEGFR2 (Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2, also called KDR) receptors to induce the generation of new blood vessels in tumor tissues and rapidly expand the tumor volume (Nat Med.1999;5: 1359-64); in addition, VEGF can inhibit the differentiation and maturation of DCs, suppress the anti-tumor T cell immune response of the body and evade immune surveillance (blood. 2003;101: 4878-86). Currently, the monoclonal antibody bevacizumab (avastin) against VEGF has been approved by the FDA in the united states for marketing, and is widely used in the treatment of colon cancer, breast cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, kidney cancer, glioma, with a sale of $ 64.6 billion in 2010.
Interestingly, the extracellular domain polypeptides of Flt-1 or KDR also block the VEGF signaling pathway in vitro, inhibiting the growth of vascular endothelial cells (Cancer Res.2002;9: 633-40). Fusion of Flt-1 to certain specific immunoglobulin-like (Ig-like) domains in the extracellular domain of KDR (e.g., Flt-1's 2 Ig-like domain Flt1-D2, KDR's 3 Ig-like domain KDR-D3) is effective in blocking cellular VEGF signaling pathways by genetic engineering techniques (Proc Natl Acad Sci USA.2002;99: 11393-8; Gene Ther.2009;16: 10-6).
Therefore, if the tumor cell VEGF and T cell PD-1 pathway can be blocked simultaneously, the tumor growth can be inhibited effectively, the immune tolerance can be eliminated, and the anti-tumor effect can be exerted.
Disclosure of Invention
The inventor obtains a fusion protein through intensive research and creative work, and surprisingly discovers that the fusion protein can be efficiently combined with PD-1 and VEGF, simultaneously blocks tumor cell VEGF and T cell PD-1 access, has obvious anti-tumor effect and has the potential of being applied to the preparation of medicaments for preventing and treating malignant tumors or gene therapy medicaments. The following invention is thus provided:
one aspect of the present invention relates to an isolated fusion protein comprising the following peptide fragments:
1) an extracellular domain peptide of human PD-L2;
2) the peptide fragment of 2 nd immunoglobulin-like structural domain of human FLT-1 extracellular region or/and the peptide fragment of 3 rd immunoglobulin-like structural domain of KDR extracellular region; and optionally
3) Fc fragment of human immunoglobulin.
Without being bound by theory, the extracellular domain peptide of human PD-L2 is capable of efficiently binding to PD-1.
Without being bound by theory, in nature, both PD-1 and PDL1/PDL2 are membrane proteins whose binding involves the response of tumor cells and immune cells, acting as suppressors of T cells. The designed fusion protein is in a free state and has a similar action mechanism with an antibody. Although it can also bind to PD-1 through the extracellular region of PD-L2, the function is to competitively bind to PD-1 on the surface of T cells with PDL1/PDL2 on the surface of tumor cells, block the function of PD-1, which is the natural immune molecule of T cells, and prevent the apoptosis of T cells.
Without being limited by theory, the peptide segment of 2 nd immunoglobulin-like domain of extracellular region of VEGF receptor FLT-1 (abbreviated as Flt 1-D2) and the peptide segment of 3 rd immunoglobulin-like domain of KDR extracellular region (abbreviated as KDR-D3) can both efficiently bind VEGF.
The fusion protein of any one of the present invention, wherein the extracellular domain peptide fragment of human PD-L2 comprises or is SEQ ID NO: 1.
The fusion protein of any one of the invention, wherein the peptide fragment of immunoglobulin-like domain 2 of the extracellular region of human FLT-1 comprises or is SEQ ID NO: 3.
The fusion protein of any one of the invention, wherein the peptide fragment of the 3 rd immunoglobulin-like domain of the human KDR extracellular region comprises or is SEQ ID NO: 5.
The fusion protein according to any one of the present invention, wherein the Fc fragment is located on the side of the fusion protein near the C-terminus, relative to the peptide fragments of (1) and (2).
In one embodiment of the present invention, the sequence of linkage from the N-terminus to the C-terminus of the fusion protein is the polypeptide described in (1), the polypeptide described in (2), and the Fc fragment described in (3), in that order.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the sequence of linkage from the N-terminus to the C-terminus of the fusion protein is the polypeptide described in (2), the polypeptide described in (1), and the Fc fragment described in (3), in that order.
In the present invention, the Fc region of the human immunoglobulin includes not only the native Fc region sequence, but also a sequence that is artificially modified, altered or mutated and has the function of the Fc region. The fusion protein according to any one of the invention, wherein the Fc segment is selected from the full-length Fc segment of human immunoglobulin IgG subtypes (such as IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, or IgG 4), IgM, or IgA; preferably, the Fc fragment does not have ADCC effect; preferably, the Fc fragment is the full-length Fc fragment of IgG 4.
Without being bound by theory, one of the targets of the present invention is PD-1 on T cells, which only requires blocking the PD-1 pathway of T cells, preventing their apoptosis, and IgG Fc with ADCC effect cannot be selected. Otherwise, when the fusion protein binds to T cells, the body will clear the T cells by ADCC effect, whereas IgG4Fc has no ADCC effect and is therefore preferred.
The fusion protein of any one of the invention, wherein the extracellular region peptide fragment of human PD-L2 is in one or more copies; specifically, two copies.
Without being bound by theory, multiple copies may enhance affinity for a target, but if the number of copies is too large, correct folding of the spatial conformation of the fusion protein may be affected in the art, thereby affecting its function; specifically, 2 copies.
The fusion protein according to any one of the invention, wherein the peptide fragment of immunoglobulin-like domain 2 of human FLT-1 extracellular region or/and the peptide fragment of immunoglobulin-like domain 3 of KDR extracellular region are in one or more copies; specifically, two copies.
The fusion protein according to any one of the present invention, wherein, when in multiple copies,
the peptide fragment of the extracellular region of human PD-L2, the peptide fragment of the 2 nd immunoglobulin-like domain of the extracellular region of human FLT-1 or/and the peptide fragment of the 3 rd immunoglobulin-like domain of the extracellular region of KDR are homologous tandem repeats or interval tandem repeats.
The fusion protein according to any one of the present invention, further comprising a signal peptide; preferably, the amino acid sequence of the signal peptide is as set forth in SEQ ID NO: shown at 9.
Without being bound by theory, the signal peptide may enhance the secretion of the fusion protein and may eventually be cleaved by the protease after the signal peptide is expressed along with other amino acid sequences of the fusion protein. The protease has a certain recognition sequence, and the signal peptide is fused with the peptide segment behind the signal peptide to form a new amino acid sequence, so that if the selected signal peptide is not proper, the protease can be cut by mistake, and the fusion protein is inactivated. Thus, preferably, the amino acid sequence of the signal peptide is as set forth in SEQ ID NO: shown at 9.
The fusion protein according to any one of the invention, wherein the peptide fragment of the extracellular region of human PD-L2, the peptide fragment of the 2 nd immunoglobulin-like domain of the extracellular region of human FLT-1 and/or the peptide fragment of the 3 rd immunoglobulin-like domain of the extracellular region of KDR, the Fc fragment and the optional signal peptide are directly connected or connected through 1 or more same or different linkers (Linker sequences); preferably, the amino acid sequence of the Linker is shown in SEQ ID NO: 11 or SEQ ID NO: shown at 13.
The fusion protein is a protein product which is obtained by connecting the coding regions of two or more genes end to end through a DNA recombination technology and has multiple functions through the same gene expression frame. Without being bound by theory, a key issue in constructing fusion proteins is the Linker sequence (Linker), i.e., Linker peptide, between two or even more proteins of different origin. Its length is important for the folding and stability of the protein. If the linker sequence is too short, it may affect the folding of the higher structure of the two proteins (peptides), thereby interfering with each other and inactivating one or more of the proteins of origin; if the linker sequence is too long, problems with immunogenicity are involved, since the linker sequence itself is a new antigen and as the amino acid sequence of the fusion protein is extended, the difficulty of expression increases and the overall folding may present new problems. Thus, specific reference to each protein, due to their different respective conformations, requires specific analysis of how they are fused together without affecting the function of each moiety. Unfortunately, although the reliance on the primary structure of a protein to predict its secondary structure has produced significant progress, the understanding of the relationship between sequence and structure is limited and the secondary structure of the fused protein cannot be accurately modeled by software. This current situation directly leads to the current lack of reliable selection criteria for the design of linker peptide sequences.
Without being limited by theory, the inventor increases the expression quantity of the fusion protein by selecting proper signal peptide and linker, and is beneficial to obtaining the fusion protein with better space conformation, thereby improving the activity of the fusion protein.
In a specific embodiment, the fusion protein is represented schematically in figure 1. They are obtained by constructing the encoding DNA of PD-L2 extracellular region, Flt-1, KDR and human IgG4Fc segment through gene engineering technology. Wherein Sp1 and Sp2 are abbreviations of Linker1 and Linker2 respectively. The fusion proteins are designated PVP1, PVP2, PVP3 and PVP4, respectively, in the present invention. Wherein:

example 2: expression and purification of fusion proteins
High-quality plasmids of each recombinant expression vector obtained in example 1 were constructed and purified, and transfected into 293 cells (embryonic kidney cells, purchased from american type collection, ATCC) using Lipofectamine2000 (Invitrogen). After 2 days, the transfected 293 cells were transferred to a DMEM medium with neomycin, and the cells were cloned by a limiting dilution method. After 21 days of selection, cell strains with neomycin resistance and stably transfected corresponding expression vectors are established. Then, a large number of stably transfected cells were expanded by shake flask culture, and the culture supernatants were collected and purified for each fusion protein by gel filtration affinity chromatography. The molecular weights of PVP1, PVP2, PVP3 and PVP4 are 73.3KD, 72.7KD and 72.7KD respectively, and the concentration of the purified fusion protein is determined by an ELISA method.
Example 3: determination of affinity constants of fusion protein and PD-1 and VEGF
The fusion proteins PVP1 prepared in example 2 were added to 96-well plates (10. mu.g/ml, 200. mu.l) and loaded on Anti-Human IgG Fc Capture biosensors (Octet), and then the affinity thereof was measured with a biomacromolecule interactor (Octet Red 96) to recombinant Human PD-1 and VEGF proteins (200. mu.l, SinoBiological lnc.) at different concentrations (1000 nM, 500nM, 250nM, 125nM, 62.5nM, 0 nM), respectively, and the affinity constants Kd of PVP1 to PD-1 and VEGF, respectively, were 97.3nM (see FIG. 2) and 30.2nM (see FIG. 3). As known to those skilled in the artWith a general Kd of less than 10-7(i.e., 100nM, smaller represents higher affinity), indicating that the two proteins are efficiently bound. This affinity is, of course, low relative to the affinity of the antibody for the antigen, but is sufficiently high to allow for binding between the natural receptor and the ligand.
Example 4: affinity of the fusion protein PVP1 to activated T cells
Taking peripheral blood mononuclear cells (1 × 10) of healthy people6Adding 10% fetal calf serum (HyQ, USA) into 1640 culture medium (GiBCo), adding gamma IFN (Phmingen, USA) 1000U/ml on day 1, and adding anti-human CD3 monoclonal antibody (Phmingen, USA) 20 μ g/L and IL-1 (R-1) after culturing for 24 hr&Company D) of 500U/ml and rhlL-2 (Beijing four-ring pharmaceutical factory) of 1000U/ml, and the liquid is changed every 3 days while rhlL-21000U/ml is added, and the activated CIK cells are obtained after 14 days.
600. mu.l of activated CIK cells were taken, and1X 10 cells in total6Each cell; centrifuging at 2000r/min for 4min, discarding the supernatant, and washing with 200 μ l PBS for 2 times; fusion protein PVP1 and control antibodies (anti-PD 1 antibody, anti-CD 3 antibody, purchased from R)&Company D) with 10% BSA at 1: 100 mixing, 100 mul/well, incubating for 70 min; centrifuging at 2000r/min for 4min, discarding the supernatant, and washing with 200 μ l PBS for 2 times; murine anti-human IgG4, FITC antibody with 10% BSA at 1: 100 mixing, 100 ul/hole, and incubating for 45 min; add 400. mu.l of physiological saline to each well and detect fluorescence by up-flow. The results are shown in FIGS. 4A-D.
The results showed that cultured CIK cells expressed the T cell marker CD3 for the most part (90.3%, see fig. 4C). Compared to the blank control (0%, see fig. 4D), the fusion protein PVP1 was able to bind efficiently to CIK cells (37.1%, see fig. 4B), although the detection rate was somewhat lower than the positive control (anti-PD-1 antibody, 82.7%, see fig. 4B).
Example 5: plasmid carrying fusion protein coding sequence for treating mouse liver cancer Hep3B transplantation tumor
Using EntransTMIn vivo transfection kit (Engreen Biosystem Co, Ltd.) for preparing and encapsulating the fusion proteins PVP1, PVP3 expression obtained in example 1The plasmid pCDNA3.1-PVP1, pCDNA3.1-PVP3, and the nanoparticle solution of the empty vector pCDNA3.1 (as per the procedure), a final 150. mu.l of nanoparticle solution contained 50. mu.g of plasmid.
4-5 weeks old nude mice were subcutaneously inoculated with1X 10 cell line of Hep3B (purchased from ATCC) of liver cancer7. Three weeks later, tumor-bearing mice were given a single injection of the nano-plasmid DNA solutions (150. mu.l each) encapsulating pCDNA3.1-PVP1, pCDNA3.1-PVP3 into the caudal vein, and the control group was injected with the same volume of nano-plasmid DNA encapsulating pCDNA3.1, and the change of the tumor volume with time was counted. As a result, it was found that the tumor volume increased more than 4-fold after 3 weeks in the control group, while the size of the tumor did not significantly change in the treated group (see FIG. 5).
