Description

本発明は、ポドプラニン(podoplanin)の測定方法に関するものである。更に詳しくは、体液中のポドプラニンを測定するポドプラニンの免疫測定方法に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a method for measuring podoplanin. More specifically, the present invention relates to an immunoassay method for podoplanin that measures podoplanin in body fluids.

肺癌の血液中のマーカーとしてガストリン放出ペプチド前駆体(ProGRP)(例えば、特許文献1参照)、サイトケラチン19フラグメント(Cyfra)(例えば、特許文献2参照)等が知られている。近年、アスベスト暴露による悪性中皮腫の患者が急増する懸念が示唆されている。現在、悪性中皮腫の検査に使用できるマーカーとして、ポドプラニン(podoplanin)、メゾテリン(mesothelin)及びカルレチニン(calretinin)を代表として、いくつかのタンパク質が報告されているが、それらはいずれも細胞の免疫染色による中皮腫の鑑別マーカーとして使用されている(例えば、非特許文献1参照)。   Gastrin releasing peptide precursor (ProGRP) (see, for example, Patent Document 1), cytokeratin 19 fragment (Cyfra) (see, for example, Patent Document 2) and the like are known as markers in lung cancer blood. In recent years, there has been a concern that the number of patients with malignant mesothelioma due to asbestos exposure will increase rapidly. Currently, several proteins have been reported as representative markers that can be used for examination of malignant mesothelioma, such as podoplanin, mesothelin, and calretinin. It is used as a differentiation marker for mesothelioma by staining (see, for example, Non-Patent Document 1).

特開平6−98794号公報JP-A-6-98794 特公平8−2919号公報Japanese Patent Publication No. 8-2919 International Journal of Oncology,31(3),501〜508,2007International Journal of Oncology, 31 (3), 501-508, 2007

しかしながら、ProGRP及びCyfra等の肺癌マーカーでは、検出できない肺癌が存在するという問題がある。また、メゾテリンは、悪性中皮腫の上皮型(中皮腫の内約70%が該当)と肉腫型(中皮腫の内約30%が該当)の2つの病理分類の内、上皮型にのみ発現しており、肉腫型では発現が無いため、すべての悪性中皮腫に対するマーカーとしては使用できないという問題がある。
本発明の課題は、肺癌及び悪性中皮腫の検査において従来の免疫染色で必須であった組織採取を必要とせず、患者の負担軽減を可能とし、肺癌及び悪性中皮腫の指標となるデータを収集する方法を提供することにある。
However, lung cancer markers such as ProGRP and Cyfra have a problem in that there are lung cancers that cannot be detected. In addition, mesothelin is classified into epithelial type in two pathological classifications of epithelial type of malignant mesothelioma (approx. 70% of mesothelioma) and sarcoma type (approx. 30% of mesothelioma). Since it is expressed only and not in the sarcoma type, there is a problem that it cannot be used as a marker for all malignant mesothelioma.
The problem of the present invention is that data collection that does not require tissue collection, which is essential for conventional immunostaining in the examination of lung cancer and malignant mesothelioma, can reduce the burden on the patient, and is an index of lung cancer and malignant mesothelioma It is to provide a way to collect.

本発明者らは上記課題を解決すべく鋭意研究を行った結果、ポドプラニンを高感度に測定する方法を見いだし、肺癌患者及び悪性中皮腫患者の血液等の体液中において従来存在が知られていなかったポドプラニンが存在しており、ポドプラニンを血液等の体液中の肺癌及び悪性中皮腫マーカーとして利用できること、及びポドプラニンは悪性中皮腫の上皮型と肉腫型のすべてに発現していることから、すべての悪性中皮腫マーカーとして利用できることを見出し、本発明に到達した。即ち、本発明は、肺癌又は中皮腫に対する指標としてポドプラニンを用いる方法であって、体液中の該ポドプラニンを測定することを特徴とし、細胞膜表面から外側に突出しているポドプラニンの細胞外領域を認識する抗体及びポドプラニンの細胞外領域以外を認識する抗体を含むモノクローナル抗体であって、該モノクローナル抗体を用いたポドプラニンの2抗体サンドイッチ定量的免疫測定法である。
As a result of diligent research to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present inventors have found a method for measuring podoplanin with high sensitivity, and it has been known to exist in body fluids such as blood of lung cancer patients and malignant mesothelioma patients. Podoplanin is present, and can be used as a marker for lung cancer and malignant mesothelioma in body fluids such as blood, and podoplanin is expressed in all epithelial and sarcoma types of malignant mesothelioma As a result, they have found that they can be used as all malignant mesothelioma markers, and have reached the present invention. That is, the present invention is a method of using podoplanin as an index for lung cancer or mesothelioma , characterized by measuring the podoplanin in body fluid, and recognizing the extracellular region of podoplanin protruding outward from the cell membrane surface This is a two-antibody sandwich quantitative immunoassay method for podoplanin using the monoclonal antibody, and a monoclonal antibody containing an antibody that recognizes other than the extracellular region of podoplanin.

本発明の測定方法により、肺癌及び悪性中皮腫の検査で、従来の免疫染色で必要であった組織採取が必要でなく、患者の負担を軽減できる。更に血液での検査が可能なため、肺癌及び悪性中皮腫のマススクリーニングが可能となる等、肺癌及び悪性中皮腫の検査に非常に有用である。また、ポドプラニンを定量的に測定できるため、肺癌及び中皮腫の治療効果等の判定に利用できるという効果がある。   According to the measurement method of the present invention, the examination of lung cancer and malignant mesothelioma does not require tissue collection, which is necessary for conventional immunostaining, and can reduce the burden on the patient. Furthermore, since it is possible to examine with blood, mass screening of lung cancer and malignant mesothelioma is possible, which is very useful for examination of lung cancer and malignant mesothelioma. In addition, since podoplanin can be measured quantitatively, there is an effect that it can be used to determine the therapeutic effect of lung cancer and mesothelioma.

ポドプラニンは、162アミノ酸からなる38キロダルトンの1型膜貫通糖タンパク質として知られている。ポドプラニンは各腫の臓器及び細胞、例えば腎臓糸球体足細胞、骨格筋、胎盤、肺、心臓、筋線維芽細胞、リンパ管内皮及び中皮細胞等に存在していることが知られている。但し、血液等の体液中にポドプラニンが存在することはこれまで知られておらず、本発明により初めて明確にされたものである。
ポドプラニンはヒトを含む哺乳類動物に存在するが、本発明の方法により収集されたデータを疾患の検査に役立てる効果が大きいと言う観点からヒトのポドプラニンが好ましい。
Podoplanin is known as a 38 kilodalton type 1 transmembrane glycoprotein consisting of 162 amino acids. Podoplanin is known to be present in organs and cells of each tumor, such as kidney glomerular podocytes, skeletal muscle, placenta, lung, heart, myofibroblasts, lymphatic endothelium and mesothelial cells. However, the presence of podoplanin in body fluids such as blood has not been known so far and has been clarified for the first time by the present invention.
Podoplanin is present in mammals including humans, but human podoplanin is preferable from the viewpoint that the data collected by the method of the present invention has a large effect for use in disease tests.

本発明における体液としては、例えば、患者から分離採取した血液、漿液、腹水、胸水、リンパ液、尿、脳脊髄液、胸膜液、腹膜液、囲心腔液及び粘膜分泌物が挙げられる。これらの内、検体の採取のしやすさ及びポドプラニンの含有濃度の観点から血液、漿液、腹水、胸水及びリンパ液が好ましく、更に好ましいのは、血液、腹水、胸水及びリンパ液であり、特に好ましいのは血液及び胸水である。血液としては、全血、血清及び血漿が挙げられ、特に好ましくは血清及び血漿である。   Examples of the body fluid in the present invention include blood, serous fluid, ascites, pleural effusion, lymph fluid, urine, cerebrospinal fluid, pleural fluid, peritoneal fluid, pericardial fluid and mucosal secretions collected and collected from a patient. Among these, blood, serous fluid, ascites, pleural effusion, and lymph fluid are preferable from the viewpoint of easy sample collection and the concentration of podoplanin, and blood, ascites, pleural effusion, and lymph fluid are more preferable, and particularly preferable Blood and pleural effusion. Examples of blood include whole blood, serum and plasma, with serum and plasma being particularly preferred.

本発明における体液中のポドプラニンの測定は従来公知の高感度免疫測定法で実施できる。高感度免疫測定法としては、例えば、酵素免疫測定法、蛍光免疫測定法、発光免疫測定法及び放射性免疫測定法が挙げられる。これらの内、酵素免疫測定法、蛍光免疫測定法及び発光免疫測定法が好ましく、更に好ましいのは酵素免疫測定法、特に酵素の基質に化学発光物質を用いた化学発光酵素免疫測定法が好ましい。   The measurement of podoplanin in body fluids in the present invention can be carried out by a conventionally known highly sensitive immunoassay. Examples of the highly sensitive immunoassay include enzyme immunoassay, fluorescent immunoassay, luminescence immunoassay, and radioimmunoassay. Of these, enzyme immunoassay, fluorescence immunoassay, and luminescence immunoassay are preferred, and enzyme immunoassay, particularly chemiluminescence enzyme immunoassay using a chemiluminescent substance as the enzyme substrate is preferred.

免疫測定に用いるポドプラニンに対する抗体は、従来公知の方法で作製したポリクローナル抗体及びモノクローナル抗体が使用できるが、好ましい抗体は感度及び特異性(ポドプラニン類似タンパクとの交差反応性を示さない)の観点からポドプラニンに対するモノクローナル抗体である。例えばモノクローナル抗体は、細胞融合技術や遺伝子組替え技術等を利用した自体公知の方法〔例えばEur.J.Immunol,6511(1976)〕等によって産生されたものが使用できる。   As an antibody against podoplanin used for immunoassay, a polyclonal antibody and a monoclonal antibody prepared by a conventionally known method can be used, but preferred antibodies are podoplanin from the viewpoint of sensitivity and specificity (not showing cross-reactivity with podoplanin-like proteins). It is a monoclonal antibody against. For example, monoclonal antibodies can be produced by methods known per se using cell fusion technology, gene recombination technology, etc. [eg, Eur. J. et al. Immunol, 6511 (1976)] etc. can be used.

本発明において使用する抗体は、従来公知の高感度免疫測定に使用する抗体の場合と同様に、認識部位の異なる抗体を組み合わせて使用することが通常行われる。これは高感度免疫測定法の測定原理「2抗体サンドイッチ測定法」に基づくものである。即ち、測定対象である抗原の同一部位を認識する2つの抗体と抗原を反応させた場合、免疫複合体「抗体−抗原−抗体」を形成できず、免疫測定を実施できないことを回避するためである。   The antibodies used in the present invention are usually used in combination with antibodies having different recognition sites, as in the case of antibodies used for conventionally known highly sensitive immunoassays. This is based on the measurement principle of the high sensitivity immunoassay “2-antibody sandwich assay”. That is, in order to avoid the fact that an immune complex “antibody-antigen-antibody” cannot be formed when two antibodies recognizing the same site of the antigen to be measured are reacted with the antigen, and immunoassay cannot be performed. is there.

認識部位の異なる抗体は従来公知の方法で作製又は選択することができる。例えば、抗原の特定部位を遺伝子組み換えタンパク又は合成ペプチドとして調整し、これをマウス等に免役することで、抗原の特定部位に対する抗体(モノクローナル抗体が好ましい)が作製できる。また、モノクローナル抗体を選択する際に行うELISAに使用する抗原を同様に調製することで、認識部位の異なる抗体を選択できる。更に、免疫染色、免疫組織化学染色及びフローサイトメトリー等での反応性を確認することでも認識部位の違う抗体を選ぶことができる。   Antibodies having different recognition sites can be prepared or selected by a conventionally known method. For example, by preparing a specific site of the antigen as a recombinant protein or synthetic peptide and immunizing it to a mouse or the like, an antibody (monoclonal antibody is preferred) against the specific site of the antigen can be produced. In addition, an antibody having a different recognition site can be selected by similarly preparing an antigen to be used for ELISA performed when selecting a monoclonal antibody. Furthermore, antibodies with different recognition sites can be selected by confirming reactivity by immunostaining, immunohistochemical staining, flow cytometry, and the like.

本発明において、使用する抗体の認識部位は免疫複合体「抗体−抗原(ポドプラニン)−抗体」を形成できる限り特に限定はないが、高感度の観点から、好ましくはポドプラニンの細胞外領域(細胞膜表面から外側に突出している部分)を認識する抗体と、ポドプラニンの細胞外領域以外を認識する抗体の組み合わせである。   In the present invention, the recognition site of the antibody to be used is not particularly limited as long as it can form an immune complex “antibody-antigen (podoplanin) -antibody”. A portion that protrudes outward from the region) and an antibody that recognizes other than the extracellular region of podoplanin.

本発明は、体液中のポドプラニンを測定することで、肺癌及び悪性中皮腫の指標となるデータの収集方法を提供するものであり、例えば多数の健常人から得た血液中のポドプラニンを測定して、その濃度分布から基準となる値を設定し、この基準値に対して、被検者から得た血液中のポドプラニン濃度を比較することにより、肺癌及び悪性中皮腫の検査に役立てることができる。   The present invention provides a method for collecting data serving as an indicator of lung cancer and malignant mesothelioma by measuring podoplanin in body fluids. For example, podoplanin in blood obtained from many healthy individuals is measured. By setting the reference value from the concentration distribution and comparing the podoplanin concentration in the blood obtained from the subject against this reference value, it can be useful for the examination of lung cancer and malignant mesothelioma. it can.

本発明において、肺癌としては、小細胞癌及び非小細胞癌等が挙げられ、非小細胞癌としては腺癌、扁平上皮癌、大細胞癌及び腺扁平上皮等が挙げられる。悪性中皮腫としては、胸膜中皮腫、腹膜中皮腫及び心膜中皮腫等が挙げられる。これらの内、特異性(疾患とポドプラニンの関連がより強い)の観点から好ましいのは悪性中皮腫であり、特に好ましいのは胸膜中皮腫及び腹膜中皮腫である。   In the present invention, examples of lung cancer include small cell carcinoma and non-small cell carcinoma, and examples of non-small cell carcinoma include adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, large cell carcinoma, and adenosquamous epithelium. Examples of malignant mesothelioma include pleural mesothelioma, peritoneal mesothelioma and pericardial mesothelioma. Among these, malignant mesothelioma is preferable from the viewpoint of specificity (a stronger association between the disease and podoplanin), and pleural mesothelioma and peritoneal mesothelioma are particularly preferable.

以下、実施例により、本発明を更に説明するが、本発明はこれに限定されるものではない。

<Preparation of anti-podoplanin monoclonal antibody>
1. Production of antigen for immunization A human podoplanin fusion protein was produced by the method described in the literature (International Journal of Oncology 31: 501-508, 2007). Specifically, a 489 base fragment of human podoplanin cDNA corresponding to the extracellular region of podoplanin (position 1-489 of GenBank AB127958) was incorporated into the expression plasmid pIgplus to prepare pIg-podoplanin. This plasmid can express the human podoplanin extracellular region protein (human podoplanin fusion protein) in the form fused to the C-terminus of the Fc region of human immunoglobulin. pIg-podoplanin was introduced into 293T cells using the transfection reagent FuGENE6 (Roche). The cells were cultured for 5 days in a DMEM medium containing FCS (fetal calf serum), and human podoplanin fusion protein was secreted into the culture solution. The human podopranin fusion protein was purified by affinity chromatography using a protein A Sepharose column (manufactured by Amersham Pharmacia Biotech). This human podoplanin fusion protein was used as an antigen for immunization of mice.

2.モノクローナル抗体の作製
文献(Blood 96:546−553,2000)記載の方法でモノクローナル抗体を作製した。即ち、20μgの免疫用抗原をフロイントの完全アジュバント(Difco社製)で乳化し、この乳化液を8週齢のBALB/cマウスの皮下に投与した。その後、20μgの免疫用抗原をフロイントの不完全アジュバント(Difco社製)で乳化した乳化液を2週間間隔で3回追加免疫を行い、更に細胞融合3日前に尾静脈に5μgの免疫用抗原を含む生理食塩水を注射した。マウス脾細胞を摘出し、マウス骨髄腫細胞(P3U1)と融合した後、HAT培地によりハイブリドーマを選択培養した。
更にELISAによって、免疫用抗原を認識し、ヒト免疫グロブリンのFc領域を認識しない抗体を作るハイブリドーマを選択した。即ち、免疫用抗原を50ng/mLの濃度で含む0.85%塩化ナトリウム含有リン酸緩衝液(PBS)を96穴ELISAプレート(ヌンク社製、Nunc whiteプレート cat.436110)の各穴に50μLずつ加え、4℃で1夜静置した。洗浄後、ブロックエース[雪印乳業(株)製]を用いてブロッキングし、抗原を固相化した96穴ELISAプレートを得た。この96穴ELISAプレートの各ウエルに、融合細胞の培養上清50μLを添加し、室温で1時間反応後、洗浄し、ペルオキシダーゼ標識抗マウスIgG(HL鎖)を添加した。室温で1時間反応後洗浄し、基質液(o−フェニレンジアミン)を各ウエルに50μLづつ添加し、492nmにおける吸光度(吸光度A)を測定した。同様にヒト免疫グロブリンのFc領域を固相化したプレートで吸光度(吸光度B)を測定した。吸光度Aから吸光度Bを引いた値が大きい5クローンを選択した。
5種のハイブリドーマを更に限界希釈法により3回クローニングを行い、クローニング後のハイブリドーマを1週間前にプリスタン腹腔内注射済みのBALB/cマウスの腹腔内に注射し、10日後に腹水を採取した。最終的に、腹水中のIgGは硫安塩析後プロテインAにて精製し、5種の抗ポドプラニンモノクローナル抗体(No.7B10、No.5、No.7、No.31及びNo.36)を得た。
2. Preparation of monoclonal antibody A monoclonal antibody was prepared by the method described in the literature (Blood 96: 546-553, 2000). That is, 20 μg of immunizing antigen was emulsified with Freund's complete adjuvant (Difco), and this emulsion was administered subcutaneously to 8-week-old BALB / c mice. Thereafter, an emulsion obtained by emulsifying 20 μg of immunizing antigen with Freund's incomplete adjuvant (Difco) was boosted three times at 2-week intervals, and 5 μg of immunizing antigen was added to the tail vein 3 days before cell fusion. The containing saline was injected. Mouse splenocytes were excised and fused with mouse myeloma cells (P3U1), and then hybridomas were selectively cultured in HAT medium.
Furthermore, a hybridoma that produces an antibody that recognizes an antigen for immunization and does not recognize the Fc region of human immunoglobulin was selected by ELISA. That is, a phosphate buffer solution (PBS) containing 0.85% sodium chloride containing an antigen for immunization at a concentration of 50 ng / mL, 50 μL in each well of a 96-well ELISA plate (Nunc white plate, Nunc white plate cat. 436110). In addition, the mixture was allowed to stand at 4 ° C. overnight. After washing, blocking was performed using Block Ace (manufactured by Snow Brand Milk Products Co., Ltd.) to obtain a 96-well ELISA plate on which the antigen was immobilized. To each well of the 96-well ELISA plate, 50 μL of the fusion cell culture supernatant was added, reacted for 1 hour at room temperature, washed, and peroxidase-labeled anti-mouse IgG (HL chain) was added. After the reaction at room temperature for 1 hour, the plate was washed, 50 μL of substrate solution (o-phenylenediamine) was added to each well, and the absorbance at 492 nm (absorbance A) was measured. Similarly, the absorbance (absorbance B) was measured using a plate on which the Fc region of human immunoglobulin was immobilized. Five clones having a large value obtained by subtracting the absorbance B from the absorbance A were selected.
Five hybridomas were further cloned three times by limiting dilution. The cloned hybridoma was injected intraperitoneally into BALB / c mice that had been injected intraperitoneally with pristane one week ago, and ascites was collected 10 days later. Finally, IgG in ascites was purified with protein A after salting out with ammonium sulfate, and 5 types of anti-podopranin monoclonal antibodies (No. 7B10, No. 5, No. 7, No. 31 and No. 36) were obtained. Got.

3.モノクローナル抗体の反応性確認

Immunofluorescence staining was performed as follows. Cells were fixed on ice for 10 minutes using PBS containing 4% PFA, and then washed with PBS. The washed cells were blocked with PBS containing 1% BSA for 30 minutes at room temperature. The cells were incubated with PBS containing a monoclonal antibody at a concentration of 5 μg / mL, and further incubated with a donkey anti-mouse Alexa Flupr 488 antibody (manufactured by Molecular Probes) diluted 1000-fold with PBS, and then the fluorescence of the cells was confirmed.
Flow cytometry (FACS) was performed with FCS Calibur (Becton-Dickinson). The cultured cells were treated with 0.25% trypsin-EDTA (Difco) and collected for use. The collected cells were treated with a monoclonal antibody (5 μg per mL containing 10 6 cells) and an anti-human VE-Cahherin goat antibody (0.1 μg per mL containing 10 6 cells) (manufactured by R & D Systems). Staining was followed by incubation with donkey anti-mouse Alexa Flupr 488 antibody diluted 1000-fold and rabbit anti-goat Alexa Flupr 633 antibody diluted 1000-fold (Invitrogen) and subjected to flow cytometry. The results are shown in Table 1.
