BACKGROUND

Dysregulation of the host immune system is one important immune resistance mechanism for cancer. Hanahan and Weinberg, Cell 2011, 144, 646-74; Pardoll, Nat. Rev. Cancer 2012, 12, 252-64. One class of immunotherapy is agents targeting specific checkpoint proteins that play critical roles in regulating T-cell activation and proliferation. Waldman et al., Nat. Rev. Immunol. 2020, 20, 651-68. These proteins function as co-receptors on the surfaces of T-cells to help regulate T-cell responses following T-cell activation. Wolchok et al., Cancer J. 2010, 16, 311-17. The two best characterized checkpoint proteins are cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) and programmed cell death-1 (PD-1), both serve as negative regulators of T-cell activation. Waldman et al., Nat. Rev. Immunol. 2020, 20, 651-68. T-cell activation induces expression of CTLA-4 on T lymphocytes, thereby inhibits further T-cell activation and proliferation. PD-1 expression is induced when T-cell become activated. Pardoll, Nat. Rev. Cancer 2012, 12, 252-64. Immune checkpoint blockade removes such inhibitory signals and unleashes antitumor immune responses. Id.; Sharma and Allison, Science 2015, 348, 56-61. Ipilimumab, a CTLA-4 blocking antibody, was the first immune checkpoint inhibitor approved by the FDA for cancer treatment. Id. Several anti-PD-1 antibodies have since been approved for cancer treatment. Gong et al., J. Immunother. Cancer 2018, 6, 8. While immunotherapy has been a major advance in cancer treatment, up to 85 percent of patients whose cancer is treated with checkpoint inhibitors do not benefit. Haslam and Prasad, JAMA Netw. Open 2019, 2, e192535.


An interleukin-2 (IL-2) is a pleiotropic cytokine that orchestrates the proliferation, survival, and function of both immune effector (Teff) cells and regulatory T (Treg) cells to maintain immune homeostasis. Bluestone, N. Engl. J. Med. 2011, 365, 2129-31; Boyman et al., Nat. Rev. Immunol. 2012, 12, 180-90. The IL-2 drives T-cell growth, augments natural killer (NK) cytolytic activity, induces the differentiation of regulatory T (Treg) cells, and mediates activation-induced cell death. Liao et al., Curr. Opin. Immunol. 2011, 23, 598-604.


An interleukin-2 receptor (IL-2R) exists in three different forms generated from three different interleukin-2 receptor chains: α chain (IL-2Rα or CD25), β chain (IL-2Rβ or CD122), and γ chain (IL-2Rγ, γc, or CD132). Wang et al., Science 2005, 310, 1159-63. The IL-2 binds the IL-2Rα with a low affinity (Kd≈10 nM). Id. From a crystal structure of a quaternary IL-2 signaling complex, fifteen amino acid residues (K35, T37, R38, T41, F42, K43, F44, Y45, E61, E62, K64, P65, E68, L72, and Y107) on the IL-2 are identified as interface residues between the IL-2 and IL-2Rα. Stauber et al., Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 2006, 103, 2788-93. The IL-2 binds a heterodimeric complex of the IL-2Rβ and IL-2Rγ, expressed on memory T cells and NK cells, with an intermediate affinity (Kd≈1 nM). Wang et al., Science 2005, 310, 1159-63. The IL-2 binds a heterotrimeric complex of the IL-2Rα, IL-2Rβ, and IL-2Rγ, expressed on Treg cells, with a high affinity (Kd≈10 pM). Id. The IL-2 binds the IL-2Rβ alone with a dissociation constant (Kd) of about 100 nM. Id. The IL-2Rα by itself has no signal-transducing activity. Id. The IL-2 signals through the intermediate-affinity heterodimeric IL-2Rβ/γ complex or the high-affinity heterotrimeric IL-2Rα/β/γ complex. Liao et al., Curr. Opin. Immunol. 2011, 23, 598-604. The binding of the IL-2 to the intermediate-affinity heterodimeric IL-2Rβ/γ complex leads to the activation and proliferation of immunostimulatory Teff cells, while the binding of the IL-2 to the high-affinity heterotrimeric IL-2Rα/β/γ complex results in the activation and proliferation of immunosuppressive Treg cells. Malek et al., Immunity 2010, 33, 153-65; Bluestone, N. Engl. J. Med. 2011, 365, 2129-31; Boyman et al., Nat. Rev. Immunol. 2012, 12, 180-90; Spangler et al., Annu. Rev. Immunol. 2015, 33, 139-67. This dual opposing functions of immunostimulation and immunosuppression pose a major challenge in developing the IL-2 as a safe and effective therapeutic agent. Skrombolas et al., Expert Rev. Clin. Immunol. 2014, 10, 207-17; Abbas et al., Sci. Immunol. 2018, 3, eaat1482.


Aldesleukin, a recombinant human IL-2, was approved by the FDA for metastatic renal cell carcinoma in 1992 and for metastatic melanoma in 1998. Rosenberg, J. Immunol. 2014, 192, 5451-8. Patients with metastatic melanoma or renal cancer experience a 5 to 10% rate of complete cancer regression, with an additional 10% experiencing a partial regression. Atkins et al., J. Clin. Oncol. 1999, 17, 2105-16; Klapper et al., Cancer 2008, 113, 293-301. Approximately 70% of complete responders to the IL-2 therapy do not recur. Rosenberg, Sci. Transl. Med. 2012, 4, 127ps8. However, the success of the IL-2 as an immunotherapy for cancer has been hampered by its severe toxicities and limited efficacy. One major limiting factor for its efficacy as an anticancer agent is immunosuppression resulting from the IL-2-driven preferential expansion of Treg cells. Abbas et al., Sci. Immunol. 2018, 3, eaat1482. Moreover, for the IL-2 to be effective in cancer treatment, a high dose therapeutic schedule is required. Bluestone, N. Engl. J. Med. 2011, 365, 2129-31; Abbas et al., Sci. Immunol. 2018, 3, eaat1482. This dosing regimen, however, causes vascular leak syndrome and results in the limited application of IL-2 in cancer treatment. Abbas et al., Sci. Immunol. 2018, 3, eaat1482.


Despite the advances in cancer treatment, cancer remains a major worldwide public health problem. It was estimated that there will be 1,898,160 new cancer cases diagnosed and 608,570 cancer deaths in the US alone in 2021. Cancer Facts & Figures. 2021. Therefore, there is a need for an effective therapy for cancer treatment.

Example 1
Cloning, Expression, and Purification of Fusion Proteins

The amino acid sequence of human IL-2 (hIL-2) was obtained from UNIPROT (hIL-2: P60568, 21-153 aa). A mutant human IL-2 was generated by introducing a mutation to abolish the CD25 binding as well as reducing the CD122 binding. The amino acid sequence of a human anti-PD-1 antibody (VH & VL) was obtained from the Therapeutic Antibody Database (TABS). The deoxyoligonucleotide (DNA) sequences encoding the mutant human IL2 and human anti-PD1 antibody were codon optimized for CHO cell expression.


Certain configurations of fusion proteins containing (i) an hIL-2 mutein and (ii) a human anti-PD-1 antibody or a fragment thereof are illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2. The deoxyoligonucleotide sequences encoding (i) the hIL-2 mutein, (ii) the human anti-PD-1 antibody or a fragment thereof, and (iii) other sequences such as a peptide linker were seamlessly assembled together by homology assembly cloning with commercially available kits. The oligonucleotides of each fusion protein were inserted into a UCOE® expression vector CET1019-AS-Puro for CHO cell expression.


The oligonucleotide sequence encoding a fusion protein was transiently expressed in EXPICHO™ cells. Briefly, on Day −1, EXPICHO-S™ cells were seeded at 3-4×106 cells/mL with the EXPICHO™ expression medium in a vented Erlenmeyer shake flask. The flask was placed on a 125-rpm orbital shaker in a 37° C. incubator with 8% C02. On Day 0, plasmid DNA was mixed with the EXPIFECTAMINE™ CHO reagent. The mixture was then slowly added to the cells. After 16 hours, the cells were transferred to a 32° C. incubator with 5% C02. The cells were fed twice on Day 1 and Day 5 with the EXPICHO™ feed. The CHO cells were harvested on Day 8-12.


Each fusion protein produced in the CHO cells was purified by a two-step purification process: protein A affinity chromatography using protein A (e.g., AMSPHERE™ A3) resin and ion exchange chromatography (e.g., CAPTO™ Q ImpRes).


For the protein A affinity chromatography, a protein A affinity column was loaded with a clarified CHO medium and then washed once with 20 mM sodium phosphate at pH 7.5, once with 20 mM sodium phosphate with 0.5 M NaCl at pH 7.5, and once again with 20 mM sodium phosphate at pH 7.5. The fusion protein was eluted with 50 mM sodium acetate at pH 3.0 supplied with 1% isopropanol by volume.


The purified fusion protein was then buffer exchanged into 20 mM Tris-HCl at pH 8.5 in preparation of AKTA™ purification. The fusion protein was loaded onto 1 mL HiTrap CAPTO™ Q ImpRes column. The column was then washed with 20 mM Tris-HCl at pH 8.5 for 5 column volumes (CV) and eluted with 20 mM Tris-HCl at pH 8.5 plus 1 M NaCl by a gradient of 0-20% in 20 CV. The fusion protein was eluted off between 9˜12 mS/cm. Eluted fractions were pooled and buffer exchanged into a solution containing 20 mM sodium phosphate at pH 6.5 for storage.


Example 2
Stability Determination

The thermostability of purified fusion proteins was measured via dynamic light scattering using a DYNAPRO® NANOSTAR® dynamic light scattering detector. The fusion proteins were each buffer exchanged into 20 mM sodium phosphate at pH 6.5 and then incubated in a continuous temperature ramp ranging from 30 to 80° C. while measuring the radius of each fusion protein every 1° C. The results are summarized in Table 1. The fusion proteins were observed to have two Tonsets. Tonset 1 was calculated to be between 55-59° C. depending on mutations in the IL-2 muteins. Tonset 2 was calculated to be 70° C.

Example 4
Antitumor Activity of Anti-PD-1/IL-2 Fusion Protein in a Xenograft Mouse Model

MC38 cells are 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 are trypsinized, washed with the media, and counted. The cells are diluted with PBS and 5×105 cells in PBS (50 μL) are injected subcutaneously into anesthetized C57BL/6 mice using an 18-gauge needle. A stock solution of a fusion protein is diluted in PBS on the day of dosing and the mice are dosed intraperitoneally with PBS (control), a mouse anti-PD-1 (anti-mPD-1) (1 to 20 μg), a corresponding hIL-2 fusion protein (1 to 100 μg), a combination of the anti-mPD-1 (1 to 100 μg) and corresponding hIL-2 fusion protein (1 to 100 μg), or an anti-mPD-1/hIL-2 fusion protein (20 μg) in PBS (100 μL) 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 hIL-2 fusion protein comprises an hIL-2 domain described herein and an anti-HSA domain, wherein the C-terminus of the hIL-2 domain is connected to the N-terminus of the anti-HSA domain via the peptide linker. The anti-mPD-1/hIL-2 fusion protein is in a knobs-in-holes configuration, comprising the same hIL-2 domain and a peptide linker, wherein the N-terminus of the hIL-2 domain is connected to the C-terminus of the second heavy chain via the peptide linker.


Example 5. Antitumor Activity of Anti-PD-1/IL-2 Fusion Protein in a Xenograft Model Using PD-1 Knock-In Mice

MC38 cells or B16F10 cells are 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 are trypsinized, washed with the media, and counted. The cells are diluted with PBS and 5×105 cells in PBS (50 μL) are injected subcutaneously into anesthetized C57BL/6 mice with human PD-1 knock-in using an 18-gauge needle. A stock solution of a fusion protein is diluted in PBS on the day of dosing and the mice are dosed intraperitoneally with PBS (control), a human anti-PD-1 (anti-hPD-1) (1 to 20 g), a corresponding hIL-2 fusion protein (1 to 100 μg), a combination of the anti-hPD-1 (1 to 100 μg) and corresponding hIL-2 fusion protein (1 to 100 μg), or an anti-hPD-1/hIL-2 fusion protein (20 ag) in PBS (100 μL) 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 hIL-2 fusion protein comprises an hIL-2 domain described herein and an anti-HSA domain, wherein the C-terminus of the hIL-2 domain is connected to the N-terminus of the anti-HSA domain via the peptide linker. The anti-hPD-1/hIL-2 fusion protein is in a knobs-in-holes configuration, comprising the same hIL-2 domain and a peptide linker, wherein the N-terminus of the hIL-2 domain is connected to the C-terminus of the second heavy chain via the peptide linker.


Example 6
Antitumor Activity of Anti-PD-1/IL-2 Fusion Protein in a Xenograft Mouse Model

CT26 mouse cells are cultured and maintained in RPMI media supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, GLUTAMAX™, and penicillin/streptomycin. The cells are trypsinized, washed with media, and counted. The cells are diluted with PBS and 1×106 cells in PBS (100 μL) are injected subcutaneously into anesthetized BALB/c mice using an 18-gauge needle. A stock solution of a fusion protein is diluted in PBS on the day of dosing and the mice are dosed intraperitoneally twice per week for two weeks with (i) PBS (control), an anti-mPD-1 (20 μg), an anti-mPD-1/hIL-2 fusion protein (5 or 20 μg), or an anti-mPD-1/mIL-2 fusion protein (5 or 20 g). 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.


Example 7
Antitumor Activity of Anti-PD-1/IL-2 Fusion Protein in a Xenograft Mouse Model

HT-29 cells were cultured and maintained in McCoys 5a media supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum and penicillin/streptomycin. The cells were trypsinized, washed with media, counted, and washed with PBS. The cell suspension (1×106 cells in PBS (100 μL)) was injected subcutaneously into anesthetized NCG mice using a 27-gauge needle. After 6 days, human PBMCs (1×107 cells in PBS (100 μL)) were injected into the tail vein of each mouse. A stock solution of a fusion protein was diluted in PBS on the day of dosing and the mice were dosed intraperitoneally twice per week for two weeks. Tumor sizes (length (L) and width (W)) were measured twice per week using a digital caliper, and the tumor volume was calculated (L×W×W)/2. The results are shown in FIG. 4.


Example 8
Effect of Anti-PD-1/IL-2 Fusion Proteins on STAT5 Signaling

Anti-PD-1/IL-2 fusion proteins were evaluated for their effect on pSTAT5 signaling via its IL-2 domain in CD3 T-cells. Briefly, CD3 T-cells (100,000) were treated with an anti-PD-1/IL-2 fusion protein for 30 min at 37 C and 5% CO2 in Hanks balanced salt solution containing 10 mM HEPES. Phospho-STAT5 was measured using a phosphor-STAT5 (Tyr694) HTRF assay. The signal ratio at 665 nm/620 nm was multiplied by 1,000 and the data was analyzed with global fitting to determine EC50 values. The results are summarized in Table 3, where “A” represents an EC50 value of no greater than 10 nM, “B” represents an EC50 value of greater than 10 nM and no greater than 100 nM, “C” represents an EC50 value of greater than 100 nM and no greater than 1,000 nM, and “D” represents an EC50 value of greater than 1,000 nM.
