Engineering a therapeutic IgG molecule to address cysteinylation,aggregation and enhance thermal stability and expression

Antibodies can undergo a variety of covalent and non-covalent degradation reactions that have adverse effects on efficacy, safety, manufacture and storage. We had identified an antibody to Angiopoietin 2 (Ang2 mAb) that neutralizes Ang2 binding to its receptor in vitro and inhibits tumor growth in vivo. Despite favorable pharmacological activity, the Ang2 mAb preparations were heterogeneous, aggregated rapidly and were poorly expressed. Here, we report the engineering of the antibody variable and constant domains to generate an antibody with reduced propensity to aggregate, enhanced homogeneity, 11°C elevated T_m, 26-fold improved level of expression and retained activity. The engineered molecule, MEDI-3617, is now compatible with the large scale material supply required for clinical trials and is currently being evaluated in Phase 1 in cancer patients. This is the first report to describe the stability engineering of a therapeutic antibody addressing non canonical cysteine residues and the design strategy reported here is generally applicable to other therapeutic antibodies and proteins.     

Pharmacokinetics of monoclonal antibodies and Fc-fusion proteins

There are many factors that can influence the pharmacokinetics (PK) of a mAb or Fc-fusion molecule with the primary determinant being FcRn-mediated recycling. Through Fab or Fc engineering, IgG-FcRn interaction can be used to generate a variety of therapeutic antibodies with significantly enhanced half-life or ability to remove unwanted antigen from circulation. Glycosylation of a mAb or Fc-fusion protein can have a significant impact on the PK of these molecules. mAb charge can be important and variants with pI values of 1–2 unit difference are likely to impact PK with lower pI values being favorable for a longer half-life. Most mAbs display target mediated drug disposition (TMDD), which can have significant consequences on the study designs of preclinical and clinical studies. The PK of mAb can also be influenced by anti-drug antibody (ADA) response and off-target binding, which require careful consideration during the discovery stage. mAbs are primarily absorbed through the lymphatics via convection and can be conveniently administered by the subcutaneous (sc) route in large doses/volumes with co-formulation of hyaluronidase. The human PK of a mAb can be reasonably estimated using cynomolgus monkey data and allometric scaling methods.     

Anti-ganglioside anti-idiotypic monoclonal antibody-based cancer vaccine induces apoptosis and antiangiogenic effect in a metastatic lung carcinoma

Anti-idiotype monoclonal antibody (mAb) 1E10 was generated by immunizing BALB/c mice with an Ab1 mAb which recognizes NeuGc-containing gangliosides, sulfatides and some tumor antigens. 1E10 mAb induces therapeutic effects in a primary breast carcinoma and a melanoma model. However, the tumor immunity mechanisms have not been elucidated. Here we show that aluminum hydroxide-precipitated 1E10 mAb immunization induced anti-metastatic effect in the 3LL-D122 Lewis Lung carcinoma, a poorly immunogenic and highly metastatic model in C57BL/6 mice. The therapeutic effect was associated to the increment of T cells infiltrating metastases, the reduction of new blood vessels formation and the increase of apoptotic tumor cells in lung nodules. Interestingly, active immunization does not induce measurable antibodies to the 1E10 mAb, the NeuGc-GM3 or tumor cells, which may suggest a different mechanism which has to be elucidated. These findings may support the relevance of this target for cancer biotherapy.     

核心岩藻糖基化控制在治疗性抗体研究中的应用

对于人类许多疾病,抗体已成为了一种很重要的治疗制剂。如何进一步提高抗体的效能,是目前研究的主要热点之一。在抗体治疗过程中,抗体依赖性细胞介导的细胞毒作用(antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity,ADCC)被认为是治疗性抗体临床疗效中一个重要的治疗功能。抗体恒定区Fc片段(crystalline fragment)的糖基化对ADCC起着至关重要的作用,尤其是抗体恒定区的核心岩藻糖基化。近些年来,很多研究报告表明,去除或降低岩藻糖基化的治疗性抗体不论在体内还是在体外都表现出更高的效能。这主要是由于去除或降低岩藻糖基化的治疗性抗体相对于岩藻糖基化的抗体,可以在更低浓度下通过与FcγRIIIa的高亲和力而表现出较强的ADCC作用。因此,去除或降低岩藻糖基化抗体的应用有望成为提高下一代治疗性抗体效能的有效手段。在此综述中,我们主要讨论了控制治疗性抗体恒定区岩藻糖基化的重要性及当前去除或降低岩藻糖基化治疗性抗体的生产控制方法。     

Monoclonal antibodies and therapy of human cancers

This survey is an overview of the applications of murine, humanized and recombinant monoclonal antibodies for in vivo diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Monoclonal antibodies (mAb) have been applied to the diagnosis and therapy of an array of human diseases. The initial failures of early clinical trials have been overcome through the production of a new generation of mAb which features reduced immunogenicity and improved targeting abilities. The early models of mAb therapy were focused on enhancing the cytolytic mechanisms against the tumor cells. More recently, successful mAb-based therapies were targeted to molecules involved in the regulation of growth of cancer cells. This has highlighted the relevance of understanding receptor-mediated signaling events, and may provide new opportunities for anti-tumor antibody targeting. Despite all the difficulties, clinical data is outlining an increasingly significant role for antibody-mediated cancer therapy as a versatile and powerful instrument in cancer treatment. One reasonable expectation is that treatment at an earlier stage in the disease process or in minimal residual disease may be more advantageous.     

Pharmacokinetics and biodistribution of a light-chain-shuffled CC49 single-chain Fv antibody construct

Murine monoclonal antibodies to tumor-associated glycoprotein 72 (anti-TAG-72 mAb B72.3 and CC49) are among the most extensively studied mAb for immunotherapy of adenocarcinomas. They have been used clinically to localize primary and metastatic tumor sites; however, murine mAb generally induce potent human anti-(mouse antibody) responses. The immunogenicity of murine mAb can be minimized by genetic humanization of these antibodies, where non-human regions are replaced by the corresponding human sequences or complementary determining regions are grafted into the human framework regions. We have developed a humanized CC49 single-chain antibody construct (hu/muCC49 scFv) by replacing the murine CC49 variable light chain with the human subgroup IV germline variable light chain (Hum4 V_L). The major advantages of scFv molecules are their excellent penetration into the tumor tissue, rapid clearance rate, and much lower exposure to normal organs, especially bone marrow, than occur with intact antibody. The biochemical properties of hu/muCC49 scFv were compared to those of the murine CC49 scFv (muCC49 scFv). The association constants (K _a) for hu/muCC49 and muCC49 constructs were 1.1 × 10⁶ M⁻¹ and 1.4 × 10⁶ M⁻¹ respectively. Pharmacokinetic studies in mice showed similar rapid blood and whole-body clearance with a half-life of 6 min for both scFv. The biodistribution studies demonstrated equivalent tumor targeting to human colon carcinoma xenografts for muCC49 and hu/muCC49 scFv. These results indicate that the human variable light-chain subgroup IV can be used for the development of humanized or human immunoglobulin molecules potentially useful in both diagnostic and therapeutic applications with TAG-72-positive tumors.

Targeted Exosomes for Drug Delivery: Biomanufacturing,Surface Tagging,and Validation

Exosomes hold great potential to deliver therapeutic reagents for cancer treatment due to its inherent low antigenicity. However, several technical barriers, such as low productivity and ineffective cancer targeting, need to be overcome before wide clinical applications. The present study aims at creating a new biomanufacturing platform of cancer‐targeted exosomes for drug delivery. Specifically, a scalable, robust, high‐yield, cell line based exosome production process is created in a stirred‐tank bioreactor, and an efficient surface tagging technique is developed to generate monoclonal antibody (mAb)‐exosomes. The in vitro characterization using transmission electron microscopy, NanoSight, and western blotting confirm the high quality of exosomes. Flow cytometry and confocal laser scanning microscopy demonstrate that mAb‐exosomes have strong surface binding to cancer cells. Furthermore, to validate the targeted drug delivery efficiency, romidepsin, a histone deacetylase inhibitor, is loaded into mAb‐exosomes. The in vitro anti‐cancer toxicity study shows high cytotoxicity of mAb‐exosome‐romidepsin to cancer cells. Finally, the in vivo study using tumor xenograft animal model validates the cancer targeting specificity, anti‐cancer efficacy, and drug delivery capability of the targeted exosomes. In summary, new techniques enabling targeted exosomes for drug delivery are developed to support large‐scale animal studies and to facilitate the translation from research to clinics.     

A novel monoclonal antibody associated with glucoside kills gastric adenocarcinoma AGS cells based on glycosylation target

Glycosylation results in the production of glycans which are required for certain proteins to function. These glycans are also present on cell surfaces where they help maintain cell membrane integrity and are a key component of immune recognition. As such, cancer has been shown to alter glycosylation to promote tumour proliferation, invasion, angiogenesis, and immune envasion. Currently, there are few therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAb) which target glycosylation alterations in cancer. Here, we report a novel mAb associated with a glucoside, mAb 201E4, which is able induce cancer cell death and apoptosis based on a specific glycosylation target. This mAb evokes cancer cell death in vitro via caspase, fas, and mitochondrial associated apoptotic pathways. The efficacy of this mAb was further confirmed in vivo as treatment of mice with mAb 201E4 resulted in potent tumour shrinkage. Finally, the antibody was proven to be specific to glycosylation alterations in cancer and have no binding to normal tissues. This data indicates that mAb 201E4 successfully targets glycosylation alterations in neoplasms to induce cancer cell death, which may provide a new strategy for therapy in cancer.
