Background technology
At present, in world wide, Infertility rate, up to 15%, becomes outside continue cancer and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, has a strong impact on the third-largest disease of human health.China's Infertility number accounts for reproduction number of women more than 10%, and its sickness rate is obvious ascendant trend.Human follicle-stimulating element (Human follicle-stimulating hormone is called for short hFSH) is the common major ingredient that is used for the treatment of male and female infertility medicine of existing market, and China's existing market comprises that people urinates FSH medicine and the Recombinant FSH in source.
The developed countries such as urine source hFSH exists that virus is polluted, raw material sources are limited, collections is difficult, content is low and the problem such as purge process is complicated, American-European generally do not accept to urinate that product-derived goes on the market and sale.Comparatively speaking, restructuring hFSH has advantages of that at aspects such as its purity, antigenicity, security, virus-free infections urine source hFSH is incomparable.HFSH is a kind of glycosylated protein, and it is 43KD that SDS-PAGE detects its molecular weight.As a kind of medicine, guarantee its biological activity, necessary condition is to have correct three-dimensional structure and glycosylation modified.Have that to improve posttranslational modification function be the main cause that mammalian cell is selected as most of biological medicament protein expression hosts.Wherein, Chinese hamster ovary cell (Chinese Hamster Ovary Cell, CHO) be for the most successful host cell of eukaryote exogenous gene expression, existing increasing pharmaceutical protein has obtained high efficient expression therein, a lot of medicines are put on market, as EPO, G-CSF etc.Compare with other expression system, this system has many advantages, as have a complete translation post-treatment process, comprise glycosylation, hydroxylation, make the external source eukaryotic gene product of expressing can keep its natural structure and activity, and expression product is secreted into outside born of the same parents, is conducive to the separation and purification of foreign protein.
Although the existing reconstituted drug hFSH listing that utilizes Chinese hamster ovary celI to produce at present, but still there are the following problems: first, its transformation period is short, in order to reach effective result for the treatment of, needs frequent drug administration clinically, to patient, brings very big misery.For example, when when ovulating, patient must every day 1-2 intramuscular or subcutaneous injection hFSH, conventionally need to inject 8-12 days even for more time.This treatment plan is often with bad side effect, comprise nerve, internal secretion and immune stimulation and toxic side effect, and cause common complication as ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, show as ovary increase, the increase of whole body capillary permeability and ascites and form, severe one can jeopardize patient's life.Secondly, the hFSH expression amount of recombinating is at present low, and preparation process is complicated and production cost is huge.In addition, hFSH is the glycosylated protein with two strands (α chain and β chain), and interchain connects with non covalent bond, the biological activity of the correct folding guarantee hFSH of two chains.The normal combination that how to keep two chains in protein expression and purge process is a challenge.Defect for existing restructuring hFSH and like product, the present invention utilizes the restructuring hFSH product of Protocols in Molecular Biology, cells produce and the purifying process development of new of optimization, with prolong half-life, keep its biological activity, improve restructuring hFSH protein expression level, thereby increase its drug effect, reduce side effect.
Summary of the invention
The present invention aims to provide Gonal-F's fusion rotein (Human follicle-stimulating hormone-Fc fusion protein, be called for short hFSH-Fc), its preparation method and application, to solve the problem that hFSH expression amount is low, purifying is difficult, Half-life in vivo is short of recombinating in prior art.
An object of the present invention is to provide restructuring hFSH-Fc fusion rotein, this fusion rotein is dimerization fusion rotein, its aminoacid sequence holds C end to comprise successively hFSH β subunit, CTP, hFSH α subunit, peptide linker (Linker from N, be called for short L) and human IgG Fc variant (vIgG4Fc, vIgG1Fc), as shown in SEQ ID NO:2,4 (hFSH β-CTP-hFSH α-L-vIgG4Fc, hFSH β-CTP-hFSH α-L-vIgG1Fc aminoacid sequence), above-mentioned fusion rotein is referred to as hFSH-Fc.

GlySerGlyGlyGlySerGlyGlyGlyGlySerGlyGlyGlyGlySer。
Described human IgG Fc variant comprises: human IgG 4 hinge regions, CH2 and CH3 region that (1) contains Ser228Pro and Leu235Ala sudden change; (2) human IgG1's hinge region, CH2 and the CH3 region of containing Leu234Val, Leu235Ala and Pro331Ser sudden change.
Below specifically introduce human IgG Fc variant of the present invention, peptide linker and CTP function:
IgG Fc variant
The immunoglobulin (Ig) of IgG class is rich in protein in human blood, and their transformation period can be up to 21 days, and Fc fragment be in IgG holder compared with long half-lift major cause, there is the effect of stabilize proteins simultaneously.
Fc is from the Fc region of immunoglobulin (Ig), and Fc has vital role in the immune defense of eliminating pathogen.The effector function of IgG is mediated by Fc, by two kinds of main mechanisms: the combination of (1) and cell surface Fc acceptor (Fc γ Rs), by antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) approach digestion pathogenic agent, or the combination of the C1q of (2) and the first complement component C1 part, cause cytotoxicity (CDC) approach that depends on complement, thus cracking pathogenic agent.Four kinds of human IgG isotypes (in (IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4), IgG1 can be effectively in conjunction with Fc γ Rs, IgG4 with the binding affinity of Fc γ Rs than the low order of magnitude of IgG1.Human IgG1 can also be effectively in conjunction with C1q, and activating complement cascade reaction, and the extreme ability that lacks activating complement cascade of IgG4 performance.For medical use, the Fc region of restructuring dimerization albumen must not can mediate effector function and cracking or remove these cells.Therefore, the Fc region of hFSH-Fc must be non-cracking performance, and in conjunction with Fc γ Rs and C1q and aspect trigger effect subfunction, Fc is non-activity preferably.Obviously, do not have a kind of natural IgG isotype to be applicable to producing hFSH-L-Fc restructuring dimerization albumen.In order to obtain the Fc of non-cracking performance, must make some amino acid mutations in natural Fc region, to reduce its effector function.
By analyzing the aminoacid sequence of the IgG isotype of different genera, find that near the Fc partial display N-terminal of CH2 region works in the combination of IgG Fc and Fc γ Rs, and be bonded to pass part and parcel with C1q, be positioned near the CH2 region carboxyl terminal of human IgG.The effector function causing in order to reduce the combination of Fc and Fc γ Rs and C1q, the present invention uses following human IgG Fc variant (as Fig. 1):
(1) IgG4Fc variant (vIgG4Fc): human IgG 4 hinge regions, CH2 and the CH3 region of containing Ser228Pro and Leu235Ala sudden change;
(2) IgG1Fc variant (vIgG1Fc): human IgG1's hinge region, CH2 and the CH3 region of containing Leu234Val, Leu235Ala and Pro331Ser sudden change.
Above-mentioned Fc variant shows much lower effector function than natural IgG4Fc and IgG1Fc, is more suitable for preparation restructuring hFSH-Fc fusion rotein.
Peptide linker
The length of connection peptides is extremely important to the activity of restructuring dimerization albumen.Existing people has reported erythropoietin (EPO) derivative (as dipolymer), compare with EPO monomer, the restructuring dimerization albumen that contains 2 complete EPO regions (3 to 7 the amino acid peptide joints of being separated by) shows the activity that weakens (referring to Qiu H etc., J Biol Chem, 273:11173-11176,1998).Yet when the length of the interregional peptide linker of these two EPO is 17 amino acid, the in vitro and in vivo biological activity of dimer EPO molecule obviously improves (Sytkowski AJ etc., J Biol Chem, 274:24773-24778,1999; U.S. Patent No. 6,187,564).The connection peptides of this possible explanation for increasing between restructuring dimerization albumen two portions, makes two portions of this molecule can exercise respectively its function (referring to Ashkenazi A etc., Curr Opin in Immunol, 9:195-200,1997).
The inventor is through long-term and deep research, and the hinge region peptide linker that has designed first a kind of uniqueness reduces space steric effect, can make the C end of hFSH α chain and the restructuring dimerization albumen of Fc variant coupling, and there is soft peptide linker centre.This restructuring dimerization albumen not only can not cause the afunction of hFSH, can maintain on the contrary, even improve the biological activity of hFSH-Fc restructuring dimerization albumen.The amino acid residue sequence of preferred peptide joint is GlySerGlyGlyGlySerGlyGlyGlyGlySerGlyGlyGlyGlySer.
CTP
Glycosylation played an important role for activity and the transformation period of albumen, and the glycosylation site on albumen has two classes, comprised O-glycopeptide chain and N-glycopeptide chain.CTP be one section from 28-34 amino-acid residue of HCG β key C-terminal, have the bibliographical information HCG transformation period relatively long compared with hFSH, be mainly derived from this CTP peptide section.It contains the glycosylation site that 4 O-connect, and can increase the level of glycosylation of albumen, improves the activity of albumen and extends the albumen transformation period in vivo.
Restructuring hFSH-Fc fusion rotein of the present invention has following characteristics: this recombination fusion protein is dimerization fusion rotein, and its aminoacid sequence holds C end to comprise successively hFSH β subunit, CTP, hFSH α subunit, peptide linker and human IgG Fc variant from N.Human IgG Fc variant has the effect that extends Half-life in vivo and stabilize proteins, and Fc variant is non-cracking performance, can reduce the effector function of being combined with Fc γ Rs and C1q and triggering.CTP can improve protein-active and extend Half-life in vivo, and its non-immunogenicity connects α chain and the β chain of hFSH by CTP, not only have no side effect, and can make there is certain steric hindrance between two chains, is conducive to it and correctly folds and do not affect function.By soft peptide linker, carry out the coupling of C end with the Fc variant of hFSH α chain, can maintain, even improve the biological activity of restructuring hFSH-Fc fusion rotein.
The present invention is connected to CTP, peptide linker and human IgG Fc variant in an orderly manner first in FSH and forms novel restructuring hFSH-Fc fusion rotein, in this fusion rotein, the positional alignment of human IgG Fc variant, CTP and peptide linker can maintain the sterie configuration that FSH is correct, and do not affect its biological activity, and can the significant prolongation transformation period, during clinical application, can reduce frequency of injection, reduce the toxic side effect producing in existing treatment plan.
