抗VEGF-抗PD-L1双特异性抗体、其药物组合物及用途 技术领域
本发明属于生物医药领域，具体涉及一种抗VEGF-抗PD-L1双特异性抗体、其药物组合物及用途。
背景技术
血管内皮生长因子(Vascular endothelial growth factor,VEGF)又称血管通透因子(vascular permeability factor,VPF)或血管调理素(vasculotropin)，是一种具有高度特异性的促血管内皮细胞生长的同型二聚体的蛋白。VEGF家族蛋白包括VEGF-A、VEGF-B、VEGF-C、VEGF-D、VEGF-E、VEGF-F和胎盘生长因子(Placental growth factor,PIGF)等，其中VEGF-A在血管早期的形成中发挥重要作用。1983年，senger等最先从豚鼠的肝癌细胞分离出来，具有增加微静脉、小静脉通透性，促进血管内皮细胞***、增殖以及诱导血管形成等作用。同时，VEGF参与许多血管生成依赖性疾病的发病及其进展，包括癌症、某些炎性疾病以及糖尿病视网膜病变等。因此，在抗肿瘤药物研究中，VEGF是一个重要的靶点。
VEGF蛋白主要受体有VEGFR1，VEGFR2，VEGFR3，NRP1，NRP2NRP3，然而，VEGF家族蛋白成员与VEGF受体的结合具有选择性，其中VEGFA可以VEGFR1，VEGFR2结合，激活内源性激酶活化，促进新生血管生成。阻断VEGF与受体的结合能够应用于多种癌症的治疗，例如乳腺癌、结肠癌、肺癌、卵巢癌、子宫内膜癌、间皮瘤、***、肾癌(Rakesh R.Ramjiawan,Arjan W.Griffioen,and Dan G.Duda,Angiogenesis.2017 20(2):185–204.)。
目前在全球市场中，上市或通过审批的VEGF药物共有23种，并覆盖了45个适应症，其中贝伐珠单抗获批的适应症数量最多。贝伐珠单抗在美国、欧盟等地批准用于结直肠癌、非小细胞肺癌、乳腺癌、恶性胶质瘤和肾细胞癌等疾病的治疗。雷珠单抗，是第二代人源化的抗VEGF重组鼠单克隆抗体片段Fab部分，其与贝伐单抗(Bevacizumab)是从相同亲本鼠抗体获得。美国FDA于2006年6月30日批准其用于治疗年龄相关性黄斑变性(AMD)的患者。雷珠单抗相对贝伐珠单抗保持更好的VEGFA的亲和力，能更好的抑制血管生成，已开展胃癌，直肠癌等适应症。
阿帕西普是VEGFR1与VEGFR2胞外部分片段组成的人IgG-Fc重组蛋白，可以 同时阻断VEGFR1与VEGFR2和VEGFA结合，从而阻断血管上皮细胞的血管生成。阿帕西普主要适用于治疗有新生血管(湿)年龄相关黄斑变性(AMD)患者。同时在临床上开展晚期肠癌治疗(Caemen Stancan,etc,Rom J Morphol Embryol.2018 59(2):455–467)。由于阿帕西普拥有VEGFR1和VEGFR2的功能片段，具有与抗体类似的阻断VEGF和受体结合的功能。
程序性死亡因子1配体1(programmed death 1ligand 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。
双功能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，因此一直以来双功能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PD-L1和VEGF两个靶点的双特异性抗体。

如本文中所使用的，术语“人源化抗体”是指，人源免疫球蛋白(受体抗体)的全部或部分CDR区被一非人源抗体(供体抗体)的CDR区替换后得到的抗体或抗体片段，其中的供体抗体可以是具有预期特异性、亲和性或反应性的非人源(例如，小鼠、大鼠或兔)抗体。此外，受体抗体的构架区(FR)的一些氨基酸残基也可被相应的非人源抗体的氨基酸残基替换，或被其他抗体的氨基酸残基替换，以进一步完善或优化抗体的性能。关于人源化抗体的更多详细内容，可参见例如，Jones et al.,Nature 1986；321:522 525；Reichmann et al.,Nature,1988；332:323329；Presta,Curr.Op.Struct.Biol.1992；2:593-596；和Clark,Immunol.Today 2000；21:397 402。在一些情况下，抗体的抗原结合片段是双抗体(Diabodies)，其中V H和V L结构域在单个多肽链上表达，但使用太短的连接体以致不允许在相同链的两个结构域之间配对，从而迫使结构域与另一条链的互补结构域配对并且产生两个抗原结合部位(参见，例如，Holliger P.et al.,Proc.Natl.Acad.Sci.USA 1993；90:6444-6448和Poljak R.J.et al.,Structure 1994；2:1121-1123)。
如本文中所述的融合蛋白是一种通过DNA重组得到的两个基因共表达的蛋白产物。现有技术中熟知生产和纯化抗体和抗原结合片段的方法(如冷泉港的抗体实验技术指南，5-8章和15章)。
如本文中所使用的，术语“分离的”或“被分离的”指的是，从天然状态下经人工手段获得的。如果自然界中出现某一种“分离”的物质或成分，那么可能是其所处的天然环境发生了改变，或从天然环境下分离出该物质，或二者情况均有发生。例如，某一活体动物体内天然存在某种未被分离的多聚核苷酸或多肽，而从这种天然状态下分离出来的高纯度的相同的多聚核苷酸或多肽即称之为分离的。术语“分离的”或“被分离的”不排除混有人工或合成的物质，也不排除存在不影响物质活性的其它不纯物质。
如本文中所使用的，术语“载体(vector)”是指，可将多聚核苷酸***其中的一种核酸运载工具。当载体能使***的多核苷酸编码的蛋白获得表达时，载体称为表达载体。载体可以通过转化，转导或者转染导入宿主细胞，使其携带的遗传物质元件在宿主细胞中获得表达。载体是本领域技术人员公知的，包括但不限于：质粒；噬菌粒；柯斯质粒；人工染色体，例如酵母人工染色体(YAC)、细菌人工染色体(BAC)或P1来源的人工染色体(PAC)；噬菌体如λ噬菌体或M13噬菌体及动物病毒等。可用作载体的动物病毒包括但不限于，逆转录酶病毒(包括慢病毒)、腺病毒、腺相关病毒、疱疹病毒(如单纯疱疹病毒)、痘病毒、杆状病毒、***瘤病毒、***多瘤空泡病毒(如SV40)。一种载体可以含有多种控制表达的元件，包括但不限于，启动子序列、转录起始序列、增强子序列、选择元件及报告基因。另外，载体还可含有复制起始位点。
如本文中所使用的，术语“宿主细胞”是指，可用于导入载体的细胞，其包括但不限于，如大肠杆菌或枯草杆菌等的原核细胞，如酵母细胞或曲霉菌等的真菌细胞，如S2果蝇细胞或Sf9等的昆虫细胞，或者如纤维原细胞，CHO细胞，GS细胞，COS细胞，NSO细胞，HeLa细胞，BHK细胞，HEK293细胞或人细胞等的动物细胞。
如本文中所使用的，术语“药学上可接受的辅料”是指在药理学和/或生理学上与受试者和活性成分相容的载体和/或赋形剂，其是本领域公知的(参见例如Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences.Edited by Gennaro AR,19 th ed.Pennsylvania:Mack Publishing Company,1995)，并且包括但不限于：pH调节剂，表面活性剂，佐剂，离子强度增强剂。例如，pH调节剂包括但不限于磷酸盐缓冲液；表面活性剂包括但不限于阳离子，阴离子或者非离子型表面活性剂，例如Tween-80；离子强度增强剂包 括但不限于氯化钠。
如本文中所使用的，术语“有效量”是指足以获得或至少部分获得期望的效果的量。例如，预防疾病(例如肿瘤)有效量是指，足以预防，阻止，或延迟疾病(例如肿瘤)的发生的量；治疗疾病有效量是指，足以治愈或至少部分阻止已患有疾病的患者的疾病和其并发症的量。测定这样的有效量完全在本领域技术人员的能力范围之内。例如，对于治疗用途的有效量将取决于待治疗的疾病的严重度、患者自己的免疫***的总体状态、患者的一般情况例如年龄，体重和性别，药物的施用方式，以及同时施用的其他治疗等等。
在本发明中，如果没有特别说明，所述“第一”(例如第一蛋白功能区)和“第二”(例如第二蛋白功能区)是为了指代上的区分或表述上的清楚，并不具有典型的次序上的含义。

为了可以更容易地理解本公开，首先定义某些术语。如本申请中所使用的，除非本文另有明确规定，否则以下术语中的每一个应具有下面给出的含义。在整个申请中阐述了其它定义。
双特异性抗体
如本文所用，术语“本发明的双特异性抗体”、“本发明的双抗”、“抗PD-L1/VEGF双特异性抗体”具有相同的含义，均指特异性识别和结合PD-L1和VEGF的双特异性抗体。对于具有VEGF结合活性的蛋白功能区，当其为VEGF受体(例如VEGFR1和/或VEGFR2)或其功能片段时，由于具有与抗体类似的阻断VEGF和受体结合的功能，此时的融合蛋白在本发明中亦广义上地称为双特异性抗体。
本发明提供了一种抗PD-L1/VEGF双特异性抗体，其包括：抗PD-L1单域抗体和抗VEGF的抗体或元件。
优选地，所述的双特异性抗体含有如式I和式II所示结构的多肽，
A1-L1-CH-L2-B      (式I)
A2-L3-CL           (式II)
其中，
A1是抗VEGF抗体的重链可变区VH；
A2是抗VEGF抗体的轻链可变区VL；
B是抗PD-L1单域抗体；
L1、L2和L3各自独立地为无或连接元件；
CH是人IgG重链恒定区CH(优选地为LALA突变型)；
CL是人κ轻链恒定区CL；和
“-”为肽键；
并且其中，式I所示的多肽与式II所示的多肽通过二硫键作用而形成异源二聚体。
或者，所述双特异性抗体是具有如式III或式IV所示结构的多肽，
A3-L4-Fc-L5-B     (式III)
B-L6-Fc-L7-A3     (式IV)
其中，
A3是可以结合VEGF并阻断其活性的结构域；
B是抗PD-L1单域抗体；
L4、L5、L6和L7各自独立地为无或连接元件；
Fc是人IgG的Fc区段(优选地为LALA突变型)；和
“-”为肽键。
在一个实施方式中，所述的双特异性抗体同时含有如式I和式II所示结构的多肽，并且式I所示的多肽与式II所示的多肽通过二硫键作用而形成异源二聚体i；
并且，所述异源二聚体i之间，通过CH结构域之间的二硫键作用而形成同源二聚体ii。
在另一个实施方式中，所述的双特异性抗体是具有如式III或式IV所示结构的多肽，并且所述的如式III或式IV所示结构的多肽之间，通过Fc区段之间的二硫键作用而形成同源二聚体。
如本文所用，术语“单域抗体”、“纳米抗体VHH”、“纳米抗体”具有相同的含义，指克隆抗体重链的可变区，构建仅由一个重链可变区组成的纳米抗体(VHH)，它是具 有完整功能的最小的抗原结合片段。通常先获得天然缺失轻链和重链恒定区1(CH1)的抗体后，再克隆抗体重链的可变区，构建仅由一个重链可变区组成的纳米抗体(VHH)。
如本文所用，术语“可变”表示抗体中可变区的某些部分在序列上有所不同，它形成了各种特定抗体对其特定抗原的结合和特异性。然而，可变性并不均匀地分布在整个抗体可变区中。它集中于轻链和重链可变区中称为互补决定区(CDR)或超变区中的三个片段中。可变区中较保守的部分称为构架区(FR)。天然重链和轻链的可变区中各自包含四个FR区，它们大致上呈-折叠构型，由形成连接环的三个CDR相连，在某些情况下可形成部分折叠结构。每条链中的CDR通过FR区紧密地靠在一起并与另一链的CDR一起形成了抗体的抗原结合部位(参见Kabat等,NIH Publ.No.91-3242,卷I，647-669页(1991))。恒定区不直接参与抗体与抗原的结合，但是它们表现出不同的效应功能，例如参与抗体的依赖于抗体的细胞毒性。
如本文所用，术语“框架区”(FR)指***CDR间的氨基酸序列，即指在单一物种中不同的免疫球蛋白间相对保守的免疫球蛋白的轻链和重链可变区的那些部分。免疫球蛋白的轻链和重链各具有四个FR，分别称为FR1-L、FR2-L、FR3-L、FR4-L和FR1-H、FR2-H、FR3-H、FR4-H。相应地，轻链可变结构域可因此称作(FR1-L)-(CDR1-L)-(FR2-L)-(CDR2-L)-(FR3-L)-(CDR3-L)-(FR4-L)且重链可变结构域可因此表示为(FR1-H)-(CDR1-H)-(FR2-H)-(CDR2-H)-(FR3-H)-(CDR3-H)-(FR4-H)。优选地，本发明的FR是人抗体FR或其衍生物，所述人抗体FR的衍生物与天然存在的人抗体FR基本相同，即序列同一性达到85％、90％、95％、96％、97％、98％或99％。
获知CDR的氨基酸序列，本领域的技术人员可轻易确定框架区FR1-L、FR2-L、FR3-L、FR4-L和/或FR1-H、FR2-H、FR3-H、FR4-H。
如本文所用，术语″人框架区″是与天然存在的人抗体的框架区基本相同的(约85％或更多，具体地90％、95％、97％、99％或100％)框架区。
如本文所用，术语“亲和力”理论上通过完整抗体和抗原间的平衡缔合来定义。本发明双抗的亲和力可以通过K D值(解离常数)(或其它测定方式)进行评估或测定，例如生物膜层干涉技术(Bio-layer interferometry BLI)，使用FortebioRed96仪器测量确定。
如本文所用，术语“接头”是指***免疫球蛋白结构域中为轻链和重链的结构域提供足够的可动性以折叠成交换双重可变区免疫球蛋白的一个或多个氨基酸残基。
如本领域技术人员所知，免疫偶联物及融合表达产物包括：药物、毒素、细胞因子(cytokine)、放射性核素、酶和其他诊断或治疗分子与本发明的抗体或其片段结合而形成的偶联物。本发明还包括与所述的PD-L1/VEGF双特异性抗体或其片段结合的细胞表面标记物或抗原。
如本文所用，术语“可变区”与“互补决定区(complementarity determining region,CDR)”可互换使用。
在本发明的一个优选的实施方式中，所述抗体的重链可变区包括三个互补决定区CDR1、CDR2、和CDR3。
在本发明的一个优选的实施方式中，所述抗体的重链包括上述重链可变区和重链恒定区。
在本发明中，术语“本发明抗体”、“本发明蛋白”、或“本发明多肽”可互换使用，都指特异性结合PD-L1和/或VEGF蛋白的多肽，例如具有重链可变区的蛋白或多肽。它们可含有或不含起始甲硫氨酸。
本发明还提供了具有本发明抗体的其他蛋白质或融合表达产物。具体地，本发明包括具有含可变区的重链的任何蛋白质或蛋白质偶联物及融合表达产物(即免疫偶联物及融合表达产物)，只要该可变区与本发明抗体的重链可变区相同或至少90％同源性，较佳地至少95％同源性。
一般，抗体的抗原结合特性可由位于重链可变区的3个特定的区域来描述，称为可变区域(CDR)，将该段间隔成4个框架区域(FR)，4个FR的氨基酸序列相对比较保守，不直接参与结合反应。这些CDR形成环状结构，通过其间的FR形成的β折叠在空间结构上相互靠近，重链上的CDR和相应轻链上的CDR构成了抗体的抗原结合位点。可以通过比较同类型的抗体的氨基酸序列来确定是哪些氨基酸构成了FR或CDR区域。
本发明抗体的重链的可变区特别令人感兴趣，因为它们中至少部分涉及结合抗原。因此，本发明包括那些具有带CDR的抗体重链可变区的分子，只要其CDR与此处鉴定的CDR具有90％以上(较佳地95％以上，最佳地98％以上)的同源性。
本发明不仅包括完整的抗体，还包括具有免疫活性的抗体的片段或抗体与其他序列形成的融合蛋白。因此，本发明还包括所述抗体的片段、衍生物和类似物。
如本文所用，术语“片段”、“衍生物”和“类似物”是指基本上保持本发明抗体相同的生物学功能或活性的多肽。本发明的多肽片段、衍生物或类似物可以是(i)有一个或 多个保守或非保守性氨基酸残基(优选保守性氨基酸残基)被取代的多肽，而这样的取代的氨基酸残基可以是也可以不是由遗传密码编码的，或(ii)在一个或多个氨基酸残基中具有取代基团的多肽，或(iii)成熟多肽与另一个化合物(比如延长多肽半衰期的化合物，例如聚乙二醇)融合所形成的多肽，或(iv)附加的氨基酸序列融合到此多肽序列而形成的多肽(如前导序列或分泌序列或用来纯化此多肽的序列或蛋白原序列，或与6His标签形成的融合蛋白)。根据本文的教导，这些片段、衍生物和类似物属于本领域熟练技术人员公知的范围。
本发明抗体指具有PD-L1和/或VEGF蛋白结合活性的双抗。该术语还包括具有与本发明抗体相同功能的、包含相同CDR区的多肽的变异形式。这些变异形式包括(但并不限于)：一个或多个(通常为1-50个，较佳地1-30个，更佳地1-20个，最佳地1-10个)氨基酸的缺失、***和/或取代，以及在C末端和/或N末端添加一个或数个(通常为20个以内，较佳地为10个以内，更佳地为5个以内)氨基酸。例如，在本领域中，用性能相近或相似的氨基酸进行取代时，通常不会改变蛋白质的功能。又比如，在C末端和/或N末端添加一个或数个氨基酸通常也不会改变蛋白质的功能。该术语还包括本发明抗体的活性片段和活性衍生物。
该多肽的变异形式包括：同源序列、保守性变异体、等位变异体、天然突变体、诱导突变体、在高或低的严紧度条件下能与本发明抗体的编码DNA杂交的DNA所编码的蛋白、以及利用抗本发明抗体的抗血清获得的多肽或蛋白。
本发明还提供了其他多肽，如包含单域抗体或其片段的融合蛋白。除了几乎全长的多肽外，本发明还包括了本发明单域抗体的片段。通常，该片段具有本发明抗体的至少约50个连续氨基酸，较佳地至少约50个连续氨基酸，更佳地至少约80个连续氨基酸，最佳地至少约100个连续氨基酸。
在本发明中，“本发明抗体的保守性变异体”指与本发明抗体的氨基酸序列相比，有至多10个，较佳地至多8个，更佳地至多5个，最佳地至多3个氨基酸被性质相似或相近的氨基酸所替换而形成多肽。这些保守性变异多肽最好根据表A进行氨基酸替换而产生。

Figure PCTCN2021115308-appb-000010
注：与PBS组相比，“***”P<0.001；“**”P<0.01。
结果显示，与PBS组相比，Ava-2GS-NSD能剂量依赖性地抑制肿瘤的生长，1mg/kg、4.8mg/kg和24mg/kg剂量下的TGI分别为16.7％、44.9％和55.6％；其中，4.8mg/kg和24mg/kg组肿瘤体积与PBS组相比具有显著性差异。肿瘤平均重量的结果，以及肿瘤生长抑制率与肿瘤体积的趋势基本一致(图6A与表6)。
每日观察各组小鼠状态未发现异常；每周两次称量小鼠体重，各组小鼠体重未发生明显降低，实验结束时各剂量组小鼠体重相比刚开始给药治疗时的体重，变化未超过13％，而且PBS组小鼠体重亦下降6％，考虑更可能是因为PBMC在小鼠体内重建导致的GvHD造成每组小鼠体重在实验后期均有所下降(见图6B)；试验结束时各组小鼠解剖观察肝脏、肾脏、肺脏等主要脏器亦未见明显病变，表明各组药物在本试验所采用的给药剂量下对小鼠未见明显毒性。
实验结果表明，Ava-2GS-NSD可剂量依赖性地抑制LOVO皮下移植瘤的生长，起效剂量为4.8mg/kg；3个给药剂量下(1mg/kg、4.8mg/kg和24mg/kg)对小鼠未见明显毒性。
