The present specification is being filed with a Sequence Listing entitled 216A014WO01_SEQLIST_ST26.XML of 195,027 bytes in size and created Jul. 23, 2022; the content of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
Interleukin-33 (IL-33) is an interleukin-1 family cytokine. Sonnenberg et al., Nat. Immunol. 2011, 12, 383-90; Cohen et al., Nat. Commun. 2015, 6, 8327; Afferni et al., Front. Immunol. 2018, 9, Article 2601. IL-33 signals through a heterodimeric transmembrane receptor complex of IL-1 receptor-like 1 (IL1RL1), which is also known as suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (ST2), and IL-1 receptor accessory protein (IL1RAcP). Ali et al., Proc. Natl Acad. Sci. USA 2007, 104, 18660-5; Chackerian et al., J. Immunol. 2007, 179, 2551-5. The biological activity of IL-33 is regulated by several distinct mechanisms, including IL-33 inactivation by cysteine oxidation or proteolytic cleavage during apoptosis. Cohen et al., Nat. Commun. 2015, 6, 8327; Afferni et al., Front. Immunol. 2018, 9, Article 2601. Extracellular IL-33 is susceptible to cysteine oxidation that leads to the formation of disulfide, resulting in conformational changes that inhibit binding to an ST2 receptor. Cohen et al., Nat. Commun. 2015, 6, 8327.
Activation of ST2 signaling by IL-33 triggers pleiotropic immune responses in multiple ST2-expressing immune cells, including basophils, CD8+ T cells, eosinophils, macrophages, mast cells, neutrophils, NK cells, regulatory T cells, type 1 helper T cells, and type 2 helper T cells. Chen et al., Cell. Physiol. Biochem. 2018, 49, 349-58; Afferni et al., Front. Immunol. 2018, 9, Article 2601. IL-33 has been implicated in a wide variety of diseases, including allergic diseases, infectious diseases, cardiovascular diseases, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), fibrotic diseases, musculoskeletal diseases, inflammatory bowel diseases, Alzheimer, obesity, diabetes, and cancer. Liew et al., Nat. Rev. Immunol. 2016, 16, 676-89; Afferni et al., Front. Immunol. 2018, 9, Article 2601. However, there is currently no FDA-approved drug that modulates IL-33 directly. Therefore, there is a need for an effective immunotherapy for treating an IL-33-mediated disorder, disease, or condition.

The disclosure will be further understood by the following non-limiting examples.
The amino acid sequences of human IL-33 (hIL-33) and human ST2 (hST2) were obtained from UNIPROT (IL-33:95-270 aa; ST2: 19-328 aa). The amino acid sequences of a human anti-PD1-L1 antibody (VH & VL) were obtained from Therapeutics Antibody Database (TABS). The amino acid sequence of an anti-HSA was one disclosed in WO 2019/246004 A1 or WO 2020/172528 A1, the disclosure of each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
Certain configurations of a fusion protein comprising (i) an IL-33 domain and an anti-HSA or (ii) two IL-33 domains and an Fc domain are illustrated in
For an IL-33/ST2-anti-PD-L1 fusion protein, the deoxyoligonucleotide (DNA) sequences encoding the human anti-PD1-L1 antibody (VH & VL), hIL-22 polypeptide, and ST2 polypeptide, respectively, were codon optimized for CHO cell expression. The DNA sequences encoding the anti-PD1-L1 antibody, hIL-33 polypeptide, ST2 polypeptide, and peptide linkers, respectively, were seamlessly assembled together by homology assembly cloning with a commercially available kit according to the design of the IL-33/ST2-anti-PD-L1 fusion protein. The oligonucleotides of the fusion protein were inserted into a UCOE® expression vector CET1019-AS-Puro for CHO cell expression.
After 8 days, the CHO cells were harvested and the fusion protein produced was purified by affinity chromatography using MABSELECT™ SURE™ resin. The fusion protein was eluted with a low pH elution buffer. The eluted fusion protein was buffer exchanged into a sodium phosphate buffer (20 mM, pH 6.0) prior to ion exchange chromatography.
The fusion protein was further purified by ion exchange chromatography on HITRAP™ CAPTO™ S IMPACT. The fusion protein was loaded onto the ion exchange column at the loading capacity no more than 20 mg protein/mL resin. The fusion protein was eluted with a linear salt gradient from 0 to 30% of 20 mM sodium phosphate with 1 M sodium chloride at pH 6.0 for 20 column volumes (CV). The fusion protein was eluted at conductivity around 10-12 mS/cm. The collected fractions were pooled and buffer exchanged into 20 mM sodium phosphate at pH 6.0 for storage.
When hIL-33 was expressed as a fusion protein without hST2 in EXPICHO™ cells, a significant amount of the fusion protein eluted from protein A affinity column did not contain intact hIL-33. To protect hIL-33 from proteolytic cleavage, hIL-33 receptor, hST2, was introduced into the fusion protein. As shown in Table 1, in the presence of hST2, the cleavage of IL-33 was significantly reduced. The percentage of the intact protein was calculated based on the SDS-PAGE and peak profile of size exclusion chromatography. The SDS PAGE and SEC characterization of certain fusion proteins and fusion protein complexes is shown in
B16F10 cells were cultured and maintained in DMEM media supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, GLUTAMAX™, non-essential amino acids (NEAA), sodium pyruvate, and penicillin/streptomycin. The cells were trypsinized, washed with the media, and counted. The cells were diluted with PBS and 5×105 cells in PBS (50 μL) were injected subcutaneously into anesthetized C57BL/6 mice using an 18-gauge needle. A stock solution of a fusion protein was diluted in PBS on the day of dosing and the mice are dosed intraperitoneally with PBS (control), anti-TRP1 antibody TA99 (100 μg), anti-PD-L1 antibody atezolizumab (25 μg), IL-33/ST2/anti-PD-L1 fusion protein A19 (35 μg), a combination of TA99 (100 μg) and IL-33/ST2/anti-PD-L1 fusion protein A10 (19 μg), or a combination of TA99 (100 μg) and IL-33/ST2/anti-MSLN fusion protein fusion protein A26 (23 μg) in PBS (100 μL) once or twice a week for two weeks. Tumor sizes (length (L) and width (W)) are measured twice per week using a digital caliper, and the tumor volume is calculated (L×W×W)/2. The results are summarized in
In vitro potency of a fusion protein is measured by quantifying phosphorylation of NFkB in BxPC3 cells, which express IL-33 receptor IL-1RL1. BxPC3 cells are maintained in RPMI-1640 medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum and penicillin/streptomycin. BxPC3 cells (100,000) are stimulated with a fusion protein at predetermined concentrations for 30 min at 37° C., 5% CO2 in Hanks balanced salt solution containing 10 mM HEPES. Phospho-NFkB is measured using a phospho-NFkB (Ser536) homogeneous time resolved fluorescence (HTRF) assay. The signal ratio of 665 nm/620 nm is multiplied by 1000, plotted, and fit using a dose response curve to calculate an EC50 value.
