The present disclosure relates to the field of binding domains and binding moieties, for example antibodies. In particular it relates to the field of therapeutic antibodies for the treatment of cancer. More particularly, it relates to binding domains that bind cancer-associated MUC1, and binding moieties comprising such binding domains.
Mucin1 or MUC1 is a transmembrane glycoprotein that is typically expressed mainly in glandular or luminal epithelial cells. MUC1 forms a physical barrier for lubrication and protection, and aids in signal transduction (Shimizu M, Yamauchi K. J Biochem. 1982; 91(2):515-24). The extracellular domain of MUC1 can extend up to 200-500 nm from the cell surface and is heavily glycosylated. Its sugar branches are negatively charged and can oligomerize, thereby creating a physical barrier that protects the cell (Nath S, Mukherjee P. Trends Mol Med. 2014; 20(6):332-42).
The MUC1 gene is located on chromosome 1: 155,185,824-155,192,916 reverse strand (GRCh38:CM000663.2) and has 29 transcripts. MUC1 is also known under a number of different aliases such as: Mucin 1; Cell Surface Associated; Transmembrane; PEM; PUM; EMA; H23Ag; Episialin; Cancer Antigen 15-3; ADMCKD(1); CD227; MCKD (1); MCD; Tumor-Associated Epithelial Membrane Antigen; Carcinoma-Associated Mucin; Tumor Associated Epithelial Mucin; Tumor-Associated Mucin. External Ids for MUC1 gene are HGNC: 7508 NCBI; Entrez Gene: 4582; Ensembl: ENSG00000185499; OMIM: 158340 and UniProtKB: P15941.
The MUC1 protein consists of a single polypeptide chain that is cleaved after translation by auto-proteolysis at the sea-urchin sperm protein enterokinase and agrin (SEA) domain into two peptide subunits called MUC1-C and MUC-N, both of which remain associated via a stable non-covalent bond (
During malignant transformation, MUC1 becomes overexpressed, loses its polarity and apical distribution with expression both on the surface and in the cytoplasm of epithelial cells. In normal cells, O-glycosylation proceeds to mature elongated and branched O-glycans, while in cancer cells these processes are disrupted. Aberrant MUC1 is characterized by incomplete glycosylation of the carbohydrate side chain, leading to the formation of new carbohydrate side chains, including the truncated O-glycan known as Tn antigen (GalNAca-O-Serine/Threonine) and its sialylated version Sialyl-Tn antigen (STn antigen), which contains a sialic acid α-2,6 linked to GalNAca-O-Serine/Threonine (
Expression of tumor-associated carbohydrates (TACAs) have been implicated in immunomodulation and inhibition of anticancer immune responses, and expression of sialic acid-containing glycans in tumor cells has been correlated with a metastatic phenotype and poor prognosis in patients (Rodrigues Mantuano N. et al. J Immunother Cancer. 2020; 8(2):e001222, Bhatia R. et al. Cancer Metastasis Rev. 2019; 38(1-2):223-236, Anandkumar A, Devaraj H. Scand J Immunol. 2013; 78(1):1-7, Baldus SE. et al. Tumour Biol. 1998; 19(6):445-53). The Tn and STn antigens are typically expressed at high levels in certain tumor cell histologies, including gastric cancer (Moreira IB. et al. Cells. 2020; 9(2):264), colorectal cancer (Ju T, et al. Cancer Biomark. 2014; 14(1):63-81), pancreatic cancer (Thomas D. et al. J Cell Mol Med. 2019; 23(10):6885-6896), and breast cancer (Cazet A. et al. Breast Cancer Res. 2010; 12(3):204).
Development of therapeutic antibodies against the Tn/STn antigens has been reported. Gatipotuzumab (previously known as PankoMAb-GEX) reportedly shows specific binding to cancer cells with high affinity but is no longer investigated in clinical trials (Danielczyk A. et al. Cancer Immunol Immunother. 2006; 55(11):1337-47). Its safety was reported in a phase I trial (Fiedler W. et al. Eur J Cancer. 2016; 63:55-63); however, gatipotuzumab did not show beneficial effects in a phase IIb trial in advanced ovarian cancer (OC) when applied as a maintenance therapy for relapsed OC as a single agent (Ledermann J. et al. ESMO Open. 2022 February; 7(1):100311. Epub 2021 Dec. 15). Antibody 5E5 is a mouse anti-human MUC1-Tn/STn antibody that reportedly shows specificity towards cancer cells (Sorensen A L. et al. Glycobiology. 2006; 16(2):96-107). 5E5 was used to generate a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) targeting the TnMUC antigen. This CART-TnMUC1 construct is comprised of a mouse anti-human scFv derived from the monoclonal antibody 5E5 which recognizes the epitope comprising Tn glycan of MUC1 and is being evaluated in clinical trials for the treatment of refractory solid-tumor malignancies.
There thus remains a need for novel therapeutic interventions that selectively target cancer-associated MUC1.

Therefore, in certain embodiments, the binding of a binding domain of the present disclosure to a MUC1 peptide, or interaction with the VTSA epitope, as described herein, is determined in a glycopeptide array as described in Example 5.
In brief, the glycopeptide array as described in Example 5 is performed using the O-glycopeptides listed in Table 2. The array is blocked before adding MUC1 IgG's and control antibodies in a range from 10 μg/ml to 0.6 ng/ml. The array is covered with an adhesive film and shaken at room temperature. The array is then washed, and detection antibodies are applied to the array. It is covered from light and shaken for an hour at room temperature, followed by washing steps. The array is read using an Innopsys InnoScan 710 Microarray Scanner and suitable software.
Binding domains, or binding moieties, of the present disclosure bind to cancer-associated MUC1, which means that they do not bind to normally glycosylated MUC1 on non-tumor cells. As used herein, “binding to cancer-associated MUC1” refers to the typical binding capacity of a binding domain, or binding moiety, to cancer-associated MUC1 as present on tumor cells or a cell line engineered to express cancer-associated MUC1. Binding of a binding domain, or binding moiety, to an antigen can be assessed in various ways. For the purpose of the present disclosure, determining if a binding domain, or binding moiety, binds cancer-associated MUC1 is done by incubating the binding domain, or binding moiety, with the cells expressing the cancer-associated MUC1, such as MC38 huMUC1 COSMC KO cells, T47D huGalNAc cells stably expressing human MUC1-STn, and/or T47D WT cells expressing medium levels of MUC-Tn, as described herein. Unbound binding domains, or binding moieties, are removed, and bound binding domains, or binding moieties, are detected by means of for instance a labeled antibody that binds to a constant domain of the bound binding domain, or binding moiety.
Antigen binding can be expressed in terms of specificity and affinity. The specificity determines which antigen or epitope thereof is specifically bound by the binding domain or binding moiety. The affinity is a measure for the strength of binding to a particular antigen or epitope.
In certain embodiments, a binding domain of the present disclosure binds to cancer-associated human MUC1.

The heavy chain variable regions of the MUC1 binding domain of the present disclosure may comprise a limited number, such as for instance one, two, or three, non-conservative amino acid substitutions, or an unlimited number of conservative amino acid substitutions.
In certain embodiments, the MUC1 binding domain of the present disclosure also includes MUC1 binding domain variants, wherein each of the HCDRs may comprise at most three, two, or one amino acid variations, for example substitutions. In certain embodiments, only one or two HCDRs may comprise at most three, two, or one amino acid variations, for example substitutions. In certain embodiments, such variants do not comprise amino acid variations in HCDR3. In certain embodiments, the amino acid variation is a conservative amino acid substitution.
Typically, a conservative amino acid substitution involves a variation of an amino acid with a homologous amino acid residue, which is a residue that shares similar characteristics or properties. Homologous amino acids are known in the art, as are routine methods for making amino acid substitutions in antibody binding domains without significantly impacting binding or function of the antibody, see for instance handbooks like Lehninger principles of biochemistry (Nelson D L, Cox M M and Lehninger A L. New York: W.H. Freeman, 2017) or Biochemistry (Berg J M, Tymoczko J L and Stryer L. New York: W.H. Freeman, 2007), incorporated herein in its entirety. In determining whether an amino acid can be replaced with a conserved amino acid, an assessment may typically be made of factors such as, but not limited to, (a) the structure of the polypeptide backbone in the area of the substitution, for example, a sheet or helical conformation, (b) the charge or hydrophobicity of the molecule at the target site, and/or (c) the bulk of the side chain(s). If a residue can be substituted with a residue which has common characteristics, such as a similar side chain or similar charge or hydrophobicity, then such a residue is preferred as a substitute. For example, the following groups can be determined: (1) non-polar: Ala (A), Gly (G), Val (V), Leu (L), Ile (I), Pro (P), Phe (F), Trp (W), Met (M); (2) uncharged polar: Ser (S), Thr (T), Cys (C), Tyr (Y), Asn (N), Gln (Q); (3) acidic: Asp (D), Glu (E); and (4) basic: Lys (K), Arg (R), His (H). Alternatively, the amino acids may be grouped as follows: (1) aromatic: Phe (F), Trp (W), Tyr (Y); (2) apolar: Leu (L), Val (V), Ile (I), Ala (A), Met (M); (3) aliphatic: Ala (A), Val (V), Leu (L), Ile (I); (4) acidic: Asp (D), Glu (E); (5) basic: His (H), Lys (K), Arg (R); and (6) polar: Gln (Q), Asn (N), Ser (S), Thr (T), Tyr (Y).
Alternatively, amino acid residues may be divided into groups based on common side-chain properties: (1) hydrophobic: Met (M), Ala (A), Val (V), Leu (L), Ile (I); (2) neutral hydrophilic: Cys (C), Ser (S), Thr (T), Asn (N), Gln (Q); (3) acidic: Asp (D), Glu (E); (4) basic: His (H), Lys (K), Arg R); (5) residues that influence chain orientation: Gly (G), Pro (P); and (6) aromatic: Trp (W), Tyr (Y), Phe (F).
The substitution of an amino acid residue with another present in the same group would be preferred. Accordingly, conservative amino acid substitution can involve exchanging a member of one of these classes for another member of that same class. Typically, the variation results in no, or substantially no, loss in binding specificity of the binding domain to its intended target.
Additional types of amino acid variations include variations resulting from somatic hypermutation and/or affinity maturation. Binding variants encompassed by the present disclosure include somatically hypermutated or affinity matured heavy chain variable regions, which are heavy chain variable regions derived from the same VH gene segments as the heavy chain variable regions described by sequence herein, the variants having amino acid variations, including non-conservative and/or conservative amino acid substitutions in one, two, or all three HCDRs. Routine methods for affinity maturing antibody binding domains are widely known in the art, see for instance Tabasinezhad M. et al. Immunol Lett. 2019; 212:106-113.
Whether amino acid residues within the CDRs and/or framework regions can be substituted, for instance with a conservative amino acid residue, and without, or substantially without, loss in binding specificity, can be determined by methods well known in the art.
Experimental examples include, but are not limited to, for instance, alanine scanning (Cunningham B C, Wells J A. Science. 1989; 244(4908):1081-5), and deep mutational scanning (Araya C L, Fowler D M. Trends Biotechnol. 2011; 29(9):435-42). Computational methods have also been developed that can predict the effect of amino acid variation, such as for instance described in Sruthi C K, Prakash M. PLoS One. 2020; 15(1):e0227621, Choi Y. et al. PLoS One. 2012; 7(10):e46688, and Munro D, Singh M. Bioinformatics. 2020; 36(22-23):5322-9.

A light chain or light chain variable region comprising these LCDRs and/or light chain variable region can be the light chain referred to in the art as VK1-39/JK1. This is a common light chain. The term ‘common light chain’ according to the present disclosure refers to a light chain that is capable of pairing with multiple different heavy chains, such as for instance heavy chains having different antigen or epitope binding specificities.

“Percent (%) identity” as referring to nucleic acid or amino acid sequences herein is defined as the percentage of residues in a candidate sequence that are identical with the residues in a selected sequence, after aligning the sequences for optimal comparison purposes. In order to optimize the alignment between the two sequences gaps may be introduced in any of the two sequences that are compared. Such alignment can be carried out over the full length of the sequences being compared. Alternatively, the alignment may be carried out over a shorter length, for example over about 20, about 50, about 100 or more nucleic acids/based or amino acids. The sequence identity is the percentage of identical matches between the two sequences over the reported aligned region.
A comparison of sequences and determination of percentage of sequence identity between two sequences can be accomplished using a mathematical algorithm. The skilled person will be aware of the fact that several different computer programs are available to align two sequences and determine the identity between two sequences (Kruskal JB. SIAM Review. 1983; 25(2), 201-237). The percent sequence identity between two amino acid sequences or nucleic acid sequences may be determined using the Needleman and Wunsch algorithm for the alignment of two sequences. (Needleman S B, Wunsch C D. J Mol Biol. 1970; 48(3):443-53). The Needleman-Wunsch algorithm has been implemented in the computer program NEEDLE. For the purpose of this invention the NEEDLE program from the EMBOSS package is used to determine percent identity of amino acid and nucleic acid sequences (version 2.8.0, Rice P. et al. Trends Genet. 2000; 16(6):276-7, http://emboss.bioinformatics.nl/). For protein sequences, EBLOSUM62 is used for the substitution matrix. For DNA sequences, DNAFULL is used. The parameters used are a gap-open penalty of 10 and a gap extension penalty of 0.5.
After alignment by the program NEEDLE as described above the percentage of sequence identity between a query sequence and a sequence of the invention is calculated as follows: Number of corresponding positions in the alignment showing an identical amino acid or identical nucleotide in both sequences divided by the total length of the alignment after subtraction of the total number of gaps in the alignment.
In certain embodiments, the present disclosure also provides a binding moiety comprising a MUC1 binding domain as described herein. In certain embodiments, a binding moiety of the present disclosure comprises two MUC1 binding domains as described herein. In certain embodiments, a binding moiety of the present disclosure consists of two MUC1 binding domains and an Fc region. In certain embodiments, an Fc region comprises a hinge, CH2 and CH3 domains.
A “binding moiety” refers to a proteinaceous molecule comprising a binding domain, and includes for instance all antibody formats available in the art, such as for example a full length IgG antibody, immunoconjugates, diabodies, BiTEs, Fab fragments, scFv, tandem scFv, single domain antibody (like VHH and VH), minibodies, scFab, scFv-zipper, nanobodies, DART molecules, TandAb, Fab-scFv, F(ab)′2, F(ab)′2-scFv2, and intrabodies.
In certain embodiments, a binding moiety of the present disclosure is a monospecific binding moiety, in particular a monospecific antibody. A monospecific antibody according to the present disclosure is an antibody, in any antibody format, that comprises one or more binding domains with specificity for a single target. In certain embodiments, a monospecific binding moiety of the present disclosure may further comprise an Fc region or a part thereof. In certain embodiments, a monospecific binding moiety of the present disclosure is an IgG1 antibody.
The Fc region mediates effector functions of an antibody, such as complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC), antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and antibody-dependent cell phagocytosis (ADCP). Depending on the therapeutic antibody or Fc fusion protein application, it may be desired to either reduce or increase the effector function.
In certain embodiments, a binding moiety of the present disclosure has Fc effector function. In certain embodiments, a binding moiety of the present disclosure has enhanced Fc effector function. In certain embodiments, a binding moiety of the present disclosure exhibits antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC). A binding moiety, such as an antibody, can be engineered to enhance the ADCC activity (for review, see Kubota T et al. Cancer Sci. 2009; 100(9):1566-72). For instance, ADCC activity of an antibody can be improved when the antibody itself has a low ADCC activity, by slightly modifying the constant region of the antibody (Junttila T T. et al. Cancer Res. 2010; 70(11):4481-9). Changes are sometimes also made to improve storage or production or to remove C-terminal lysines (Kubota T et al. Cancer Sci. 2009; 100(9):1566-72). Another way to improve ADCC activity of an antibody is by enzymatically interfering with the glycosylation pathway resulting in a reduced fucose (von Horsten H H. et al. Glycobiology. 2010; 20(12):1607-18). Alternatively, or additionally, multiple other strategies can be used to achieve ADCC enhancement, for instance including glycoengineering (Kyowa Hakko/Biowa, GlycArt (Roche) and Eureka Therapeutics) and mutagenesis, all of which seek to improve Fc binding to low-affinity activating FcγRIIIa, and/or to reduce binding to the low affinity inhibitory FcγRIIb. In certain embodiments, a binding moiety of the present disclosure exhibits enhanced antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC). In certain embodiments, a binding moiety of the present disclosure is afucosylated.
In certain embodiments, a binding moiety of the present disclosure has a higher binding signal than a reference antibody. In certain embodiments, the binding signal is as measured in a FACS assay with MUC1-Tn expressing cells or MUC-1-STn expressing cells. In certain embodiments, MUC1-Tn expressing cells are MCF7 or T47D cells, as described herein. In certain embodiments, MUC1-Tn expressing ells are huMUC1 COSMC KO cells, which can be generated by stably transfecting MC38 cells with human MUC1 and knocking-out the C1galt1c1 (COSMC) gene, as described herein. In certain embodiments, MUC1-STn expressing cells are T47D huGalNAc cells, which can be generated by stably transfecting T47D cells with a plasmid encoding ST6GALNAC, as described herein. In certain embodiments, the reference antibody is a bivalent monospecific antibody comprising two heavy chains having an amino acid sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 210 and two light chains having an amino acid sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 211.
In certain embodiments, the present disclosure provides a binding moiety comprising a MUC1 binding domain of the present disclosure, wherein the binding moiety is selected from the group consisting of:
or a binding moiety that competes with said antibody for binding to a MUC1 peptide comprising the amino acid sequence PAPGSTAPPAHGVT*SAPDTRPAPG (SEQ ID NO: 249), and/or PAPGSTAPPAHGVT*S*APDTRPAPG (SEQ ID NO: 249), wherein * represents Tn or STn glycosylation.

The terms “treat,” “treating,” and “treatment,” as used herein, refer to any type of intervention or process performed on or administering an active agent or combination of active agents to a subject with the objective of curing or improving a disease or symptom thereof or which produces a positive therapeutic response. As used herein, “positive therapeutic response” refers to a treatment producing a beneficial effect, e.g. reversing, alleviating, ameliorating, inhibiting, or slowing down a symptom, complication, condition or biochemical indicia associated with a disease, as well as preventing the onset, progression, development, severity or recurrence of a symptom, complication, condition or biochemical indicia associated with a disease, such as, for example, amelioration of at least one symptom of a disease or disorder, e.g. cancer. A beneficial effect can take the form of an improvement over baseline, including an improvement over a measurement or observation made prior to initiation of therapy according to the method. For example, a beneficial effect can take the form of slowing, stabilizing, stopping or reversing the progression of a cancer in a subject at any clinical stage, as evidenced by a decrease or elimination of a clinical or diagnostic symptom of the disease, or of a marker of cancer. Effective treatment may, for example, decrease in tumor size, decrease in the presence of circulating tumor cells, reduce or prevent metastases of a tumor, slow or arrest tumor growth and/or prevent or delay tumor recurrence or relapse.
The term “therapeutic amount” or “effective amount” refers to an amount of an agent or combination of agents that treats a disease, such as cancer. In some embodiments, a therapeutic amount is an amount sufficient to delay tumor development. In some embodiments, a therapeutic amount is an amount sufficient to prevent or delay tumor recurrence.
As used herein, an effective amount of the agent or composition is one that, for example, may: (i) reduce the number of cancer cells; (ii) reduce tumor size; (iii) inhibit, retard, slow to some extent and may stop cancer cell infiltration into peripheral organs; (iv) inhibit tumor metastasis; (v) inhibit tumor growth; (vi) prevent or delay occurrence and/or recurrence of tumor; and/or (vii) relieve to some extent one or more of the symptoms associated with the cancer.
An effective amount may vary according to factors such as the disease state, age, sex, and weight of the individual to be treated, and the ability of the agent or combination of agents to elicit a desired response in the individual, which can be readily evaluated by the ordinarily skilled physician or other health care worker.
An effective amount can be administered to a subject in one or more administrations.
An effective amount can also include an amount that balances any toxic or detrimental effects of the agent or combination of agents and the beneficial effects.
The term “agent” refers to a therapeutically active substance, in the present case a binding domain or binding moiety of the present disclosure, or a pharmaceutical composition of the present disclosure.

Reference antibodies and control antibodies used in the Examples include:
Binding domains, and antibodies, comprising heavy chain variable regions binding cancer-associated MUC-1 were obtained by immunizing transgenic mice comprising a common IGKV1-39 light chain (MeMo® mice). Several immunization methods were used, including immunization with KHL-conjugated human MUC140Tn8 or MUC140Tn10 peptides, plus cells overexpressing human MUC1-(S)Tn. Phage display libraries were generated and screened in ELISA and FACS using MUC1 peptides and cell lines to identify Fabs that bind MUC1-Tn and/or MUC1-STn (MUC1-(S)Tn). Binders were subsequently re-cloned into IgG format for further characterization. The binding domain sequences herein, once characterized and sequenced through the techniques provided herein, can be subsequently obtained by any method known in the art.
The panel of MUC1 IgG's was screened in an ELISA to characterize their binding specificity to, and relative affinity for, different MUC1 peptides. A mock peptide and a secondary antibody only were included as negative assay controls. An isotype control antibody and an analog of reference antibody 5E5 were included as negative and positive antibody controls, respectively.
Biotinylated MUC1 and control peptides were captured at concentrations indicated in Table 1 on a neutravidin (ThermoFisher Scientific, cat. no. 31000) coated Maxisorp plate, and incubated for one hour at room temperature. The MUC1 IgG and control antibodies were diluted in blocking buffer, added at 10, 1, 0.1 and 0.01 ug/ml, and incubated for one hour at room temperature. Subsequently, samples were incubated with diluted HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies (Bethyl Laboratories, A80-104P, 1: 2000) for one hour at room temperature. Three washing steps using PBST were performed after each incubation step. 1 M H2SO4 was used to stop the reaction and TMB peroxidase substrate solution (BD Biosciences, cat. no. 555214) was used to develop the signal. Plates were analyzed at A450 using Microplate reader.
The assay identified many antibodies in the MUC1 IgG panel that bind MUC140Tn10 and not to the mock peptide (data not shown). Binding specificity of the MUC1-(S)Tn antibodies was binned into three groups: 1) MUC1 core peptide binders (binding to MUC140 and MUC140Tn10 and MUC140STn10); 2) MUC1-Tn binders (binding to MUC140Tn10 but not to MUC140STn10); and 3) MUC1-(S)Tn binders (binding to MUC140Tn10 and MUC140STn10).
The panel of MUC1 IgG's was screened on MCF7 cells that express cancer-associated MUC1-Tn and on MCF10A cells that express wildtype MUC1. An analog of reference antibody pankomab was included as a control of relative expression of MUC1 on the different cell lines. 293FF (MUC1 negative) cells were included as a negative assay control. An isotype control antibody and an analog of reference antibody 5E5 were included as negative and positive antibody controls, respectively. The MUC1 IgG panel and control antibodies were titrated using 8-step 4-fold serial dilution starting at 10 ug/ml. Binding to 293FF cells was tested at 10 ug/ml.
MCF7 Cells (DSMZ, ACC115), MCF10A cells (ATCC, cat. no. CRL-10317), or 293FF cells (Invitrogen, p/n51-0029) were incubated with MUC1 and control antibodies diluted in FACS buffer (PBS+0.5% BSA+2 mM EDTA) on ice for 30 minutes, followed by two washing steps with ice cold FACS buffer and staining with anti-human IgG-PE (Invitrogen, #H10104) at 1:100. Binding was measured using iQue Screener PLUS. Analysis was performed using IntelliCyt ForeCyt® Software. Mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) value of each MUC1 antibody was plotted against the concentration of the IgG's, and area under the curve (AUC) was calculated based on normalization using an isotype antibody and an analog of reference antibody 5E5 as negative and positive antibody controls, respectively.

The panel of MUC1-(S)Tn IgG's was subjected to GingisKHAN digestion to produce Fabs (>99% monomeric). Biotinylated MUC140Tn10 and MUC140STn10 were captured on a neutravidin coated plate at 2 μg/ml. Fab fragments of an analog of reference antibody 5E5 were included as a positive control antibody and Fab fragments of an isotype control antibody were included as a negative control antibody.
The panel of MUC1-(S)Tn Fabs and the control Fabs were serially diluted using 8-step 10-fold serial dilution starting at 10 ug/ml, and incubated for one hour at room temperature, followed by incubation with diluted HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies (Becton Dickinson, cat. no. 555788) for one hour at room temperature. Three washing steps using PBST were performed after each incubation step. 1 M H2SO4 was used to stop the reaction and TMB peroxidase substrate solution (BD Biosciences, cat. no. 555214) to develop the signal. Plates were analyzed at A450 using Microplate reader.
The affinity of the MUC1-(S)Tn Fabs to MUC140Tn10 and MUC140STn10 is similar to that of the IgG's (data not shown). A general correlation in affinity was found against MUC1-Tn peptide and MUC1-STn peptide (see
The panel of MUC1 IgG's was screened in a glycopeptide array to determine their binding to the O-glycopeptides listed in Table 2. As a negative assay control, print buffer was included. Positive assay controls were human IgG, and mouse IgG. Control antibodies included: an analog of reference antibody 5E5, an analog of reference antibody VU4H5, 5F4, and 3F1. MUC1 and control antibodies were tested at 8-step 4-fold serial dilution starting at 10 ug/ml.
The O-glycan array assay was performed according to the manual instructions (Z Biotech, LLC). The array was blocked for 30 minutes using Glycan Array Blocking Buffer (GAAB, Z Biotech Item #10106). It was then washed 3× using TBS-T-based Glycan Array Assay Buffer (GAAB, Z Biotech Item #10107). MUC1 IgG's and control antibodies were diluted in GAAB in a range from 10 μg/ml to 0.6 ng/ml, and then applied directly to the array. The array was covered with an adhesive film and shaken at 80 rpm for 1 hour at room temperature. The array was then washed 3× again with GAAB. The detection antibodies, Cy3-conjugated anti human IgG and Cy3-conjugated anti mouse IgG, were diluted in GAAB and applied to the array. It was covered from light and shaken at 80 rpm for 1 hour at room temperature, and then washed 3× with GAAB and 2× with MilliQ water. The array was read using an Innopsys InnoScan 710 Microarray Scanner with a high power laser at 1 PMT. Software was used to detect each spot on the array and calculate the relative fluorescence units (RFU) intensity for each spot. Background RFU was subtracted from each spot's RFU value. The median of each glycan's spots was determined and graphed on the report given.
All control antibodies bound to their described epitopes. Results of the MUC1 IgG's are shown in
MUC1 IgG previously identified as MUC1-Tn binders showed strong binding to peptides T2, T7, and T10. These peptides all comprise a Tn modification (α-GalNAc glycosylation) of the serine residue in the GSTA motif. None of the other peptides comprise a modification at this position and the MUC1-(S)Tn binders do not bind to those peptides. The MUC1-Tn binders also bind the peptides when, in addition to the Tn modification of the serine residue in the GSTA motif, the peptide comprises a Tn modification of the threonine residue in the GSTA motif (T7) or a Tn modification of the threonine residue in the GSTA motif and a Tn modification of the threonine residue in the PDTR motif (T10).
MUC1 IgG's were screened for binding to T47D huGalNAc cells stably expressing human MUC1-STn, and T47D WT cells expressing medium levels of MUC-Tn. An isotype control antibody was included as a negative control antibody, and an analog of reference antibody 5E5 was included as a positive control antibody. An analog of reference antibody pankomab was included as a control of relative expression of MUC1 on the different cell lines. Further control antibodies included 3F1 and 5F4. MUC1, the isotype control, analog of 5E5 and analog of pankomab antibodies were titrated using 8-step 4-fold serial dilution starting at 10 ug/ml; 3F1 and 5F4 were used at 10 ug/ml.
T47D cells (Sigma-Aldrich, cat. 85102201-1VL) and T47D huGalNAc cells (generated by stably transfecting T47D cells with plasmid encoding ST6GALNAC1 (accession no. Q9NSC7; Uniprot)) were incubated with MUC1 IgG's and control antibodies diluted in FACS buffer (PBS+0.5% BSA+2 mM EDTA) for 30 minutes on ice, followed by two washing steps with ice cold FACS buffer and staining with anti-human IgG-PE (Invitrogen, cat. no. H10104) at 1:100 (for the MUC1, the isotype control, analog of 5E5, and analog of pankomab antibody samples) or anti-mouse IgG-PE (Invitrogen, cat. no. M30004-4) at 1:400 (for the 3F1 and 5F4 antibody samples). Binding was measured using iQue Screener PLUS. Analysis was performed using IntelliCyt ForeCyt® Software. MFI value of each MUC1 antibody was plotted against the concentration of IgG's, and area under the curve (AUC) was calculated based on normalization using an isotype control antibody and an analog of reference antibody 5E5 as negative and positive antibody controls, respectively.

The panel of MUC1-(S)Tn binders show diverse binding affinity to T47D WT cells. Most of the antibodies show a higher maximum binding than the analog of reference antibody 5E5, corresponding to the data obtained with MCF7 cells. The affinity to T47D WT cells further correlate well with the affinity to MUC140Tn10 peptide.
MUC1 IgG's were screened for binding to MC38 huMUC1 COSMC KO cells that express human MUC1-Tn, MC38 huMUC1 cells that express normal human MUC1 glycoform, and MC38 WT cells that do not express human MUC1. An isotype control antibody was included as a negative control antibody, and an analog of reference antibody 5E5 was included as a positive control antibody. An analog of reference antibody pankomab was included as a control of relative expression of MUC1 on the different cell lines. Further control antibodies included 3F1 and 5F4. The MUC1 IgG's, the isotype control, an analog of 5E5 and an analog of pankomab were titrated using 8-step 4-fold serial dilution starting at 10 ug/ml; 3F1 and 5F4 were used at 10 ug/ml.
MC38 huMUC1 COSMC KO cells were generated by stable transfection of MC38 huMUC1 cells (accession no. CVCL_5138; Uniprot) with human MUC1 and knocking out the mouse COSMC (C1galt1c1) gene (accession no. ENSMUST00000058265.7; Ensemble)). Cells were incubated with MUC1 IgG's or control antibodies diluted in FACS buffer (PBS+0.5% BSA+2 mM EDTA) for 30 minutes on ice, followed by two washing steps with ice cold FACS buffer and staining with secondary antibodies anti human IgG-PE (Invitrogen, cat. no. H10104) at 1:100 (for the MUC1, the isotype control, analog of 5E5, and analog of pankomab antibody samples) or anti-mouse IgG-PE (Invitrogen, cat. no. M30004-4) at 1:400 (for the 3F1 and 5F4 antibody samples). Binding was measured using iQue Screener PLUS. Analysis was performed using IntelliCyt ForeCyt® Software. MFI value of each huMUC1-(S)Tn clone was plotted against the concentration of IgG's, and area under the curve (AUC) was calculated based on normalization using an isotype control antibody and an analog of reference antibody 5E5 as negative and positive antibody controls, respectively.
