A Single-Step Chemoenzymatic Reaction for the Construction of Antibody-Cell Conjugates.

ABSTRACT: Employing live cells as therapeutics is a direction of future drug discovery. An easy and robust method to modify the surfaces of cells directly to incorporate novel functionalities is highly desirable. However, genetic methods for cell-surface engineering are laborious and limited by low efficiency for primary cell modification. Here we report a chemoenzymatic approach that exploits a fucosyltransferase to transfer bio-macromolecules, such as an IgG antibody (MW∼ 150 KD), to the glycocalyx on the surfaces of live cells when the antibody is conjugated to the enzyme's natural donor substrate GDP-Fucose. Requiring no genetic modification, this method is fast and biocompatible with little interference to cells' endogenous functions. We applied this method to construct two antibody-cell conjugates (ACCs) using both cell lines and primary cells, and the modified cells exhibited specific tumor targeting and resistance to inhibitory signals produced by tumor cells, respectively. Remarkably, Herceptin-NK-92MI conjugates, a natural killer cell line modified with Herceptin, exhibit enhanced activities to induce the lysis of HER2+ cancer cells both ex vivo and in a human tumor xenograft model. Given the unprecedented substrate tolerance of the fucosyltransferase, this chemoenzymatic method offers a general approach to engineer cells as research tools and for therapeutic applications.

Chemoenzymatic synthesis of glycoengineered IgG antibodies and glycosite-specific antibody-drug conjugates.

Project description:Glycoengineered therapeutic antibodies and glycosite-specific antibody-drug conjugates (gsADCs) have generated great interest among researchers because of their therapeutic potential. Endoglycosidase-catalyzed in vitro glycoengineering technology is a powerful tool for IgG Fc (fragment cystallizable) N-glycosylation remodeling. In this protocol, native heterogeneously glycosylated IgG N-glycans are first deglycosylated with a wild-type endoglycosidase. Next, a homogeneous N-glycan substrate, presynthesized as described here, is attached to the remaining N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) of IgG, using a mutant endoglycosidase (also called endoglycosynthase) that lacks hydrolytic activity but possesses transglycosylation activity for glycoengineering. Compared with in vivo glycoengineering technologies and the glycosyltransferase-enabled in vitro engineering method, the current approach is robust and features quantitative yield, homogeneous glycoforms of produced antibodies and ADCs, compatibility with diverse natural and non-natural glycan structures, convenient exploitation of native IgG as the starting material, and a well-defined conjugation site for antibody modifications. Potential applications of this method cover a broad scope of antibody-related research, including the development of novel glycoengineered therapeutic antibodies with enhanced efficacy, site-specific antibody-drug conjugation, and site-specific modification of antibodies for fluorescent labeling, PEGylation, protein cross-linking, immunoliposome formation, and so on, without loss of antigen-binding affinity. It takes 5-8 d to prepare the natural or modified N-glycan substrates, 3-4 d to engineer the IgG N-glycosylation, and 2-5 d to synthesize the small-molecule toxins and prepare the gsADCs.

Non-Genetic Generation of Antibody Conjugates Based on Chemoenzymatic Tyrosine Click Chemistry.

Project description:The availability of tools to generate homogeneous and stable antibody conjugates without recombinant DNA technology is a valuable asset in fields spanning from in vitro diagnostics to in vivo imaging and therapeutics. We present here a general approach for the conjugation to human IgG1 antibodies, by employing a straightforward two-stage protocol based on antibody deglycosylation followed by tyrosinase-mediated ortho-quinone strain-promoted click chemistry. The technology is validated by the efficient and clean generation of highly potent DAR2 and DAR4 antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) with cytotoxic payloads MMAE or PBD dimer, and their in vitro evaluation.

Chemoenzymatic synthesis of oligohyaluronan-lipid conjugates.

Project description:Herein, we describe an efficient and high-yielding method to synthesize hyaluronan oligosaccharide-lipid conjugates. This strategy is based on first covalently attaching diphytanoyl glycerophosphatidylethanolamine (DiPhPE) to commercially available high molecular weight hyaluronic acid (HA), via the carboxylate group of the glucuronic acid using carbodiimide chemistry. The HA-lipid conjugate mixture is then digested with bovine testicular hyaluronidase to yield HA-DiPhPE conjugates that have a narrow distribution of moderately sized HA oligosaccharides. These HA-lipid conjugates can be incorporated into liposomes or micelles to selectively target CD44 that is overexpressed on many cancer or cancer initiating cells.

Payload diversification: a key step in the development of antibody-drug conjugates.

Project description:Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) is a fast moving class of targeted biotherapeutics that currently combines the selectivity of monoclonal antibodies with the potency of a payload consisting of cytotoxic agents. For many years microtubule targeting and DNA-intercalating agents were at the forefront of ADC development. The recent approval and clinical success of trastuzumab deruxtecan (Enhertu®) and sacituzumab govitecan (Trodelvy®), two topoisomerase 1 inhibitor-based ADCs, has shown the potential of conjugating unconventional payloads with differentiated mechanisms of action. Among future developments in the ADC field, payload diversification is expected to play a key role as illustrated by a growing number of preclinical and clinical stage unconventional payload-conjugated ADCs. This review presents a comprehensive overview of validated, forgotten and newly developed payloads with different mechanisms of action.

Challenges in Optimising the Successful Construction of Antibody Drug Conjugates in Cancer Therapy.

Project description:Although considerable progress has been made in the field of cancer chemotherapy, there remains a significant unmet medical need, with a requirement to move away from traditional cytotoxics and explore novel, smarter chemotherapeutic approaches. One such example of the smart chemotherapy approach is antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), which consist of an antibody that binds selectively to a cancer antigen linked to a cytotoxic agent. When developing an ADC, it may be necessary to produce a variety of constructs to fully assess the optimal configuration for the molecule. By testing ADCs prepared using a range of cytotoxic agents, linkers, or different antibodies, it is possible to fully assess the optimal approach for this treatment modality before advancing to the clinic. Since the development and approval of first-generation ADCs, significant improvements in development technology have occurred. Here, we consider the advances made within the field of ADCs, focusing on the development of EDO-B278 and EDO-B776, both of which have demonstrated efficacy in preclinical testing. Although some limitations remain in this field of development, the potential reduction in toxicity offered by ADCs justifies the investment in research to find workable solutions that could ultimately provide patients with superior outcomes.

Chemoenzymatic Synthesis and Antibody Binding of HIV-1 V1/V2 Glycopeptide-Bacteriophage Qβ Conjugates as a Vaccine Candidate.

Project description:The broadly neutralizing antibody PG9 recognizes a unique glycopeptide epitope in the V1V2 domain of HIV-1 gp120 envelope glycoprotein. The present study describes the design, synthesis, and antibody-binding analysis of HIV-1 V1V2 glycopeptide-Qβ conjugates as a mimic of the proposed neutralizing epitope of PG9. The glycopeptides were synthesized using a highly efficient chemoenzymatic method. The alkyne-tagged glycopeptides were then conjugated to the recombinant bacteriophage (Qβ), a virus-like nanoparticle, through a click reaction. Antibody-binding analysis indicated that the synthetic glycoconjugates showed significantly enhanced affinity for antibody PG9 compared with the monomeric glycopeptides. It was also shown that the affinity of the Qβ-conjugates for antibody PG9 was dependent on the density of the glycopeptide antigen display. The glycopeptide-Qβ conjugates synthesized represent a promising candidate of HIV-1 vaccine.

Chemoenzymatic profiling of multiple glycosylation by a single one-step probe

Project description:Protein glycosylation, mainly divided into N-glycosylation and O-glycosylation, is the most prevalent and complex protein posttranslational modification. However, profiling of multiple glycosylation types from a given biological sample is still a challenging issue in glycoscience. Here, a “one-step probe”, directly carried enrichment support, was designed and synthesized. This probe could be accepted by two substrate-specific sialyltransferases to label and enrich N-linked glycans and O-linked glycans in a one-step manner. Combing mass spectrometry (MS) technology, multiple glycoproteomes including N-glycosylation, core fucosylation and truncated mucin-type O-glycosylation can be profiled simultaneously. By this strategy, multiple glycosylation from two breast cancer cell lines including less invasive (MCF7) and highly invasive (MDA-MB-468) were profiled. The results showed that core fucosylation changed significantly while mucin-type O-glycosylation also changed to a lesser extent in two cell lines. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis showed that the core-fucosylated sites of key genes in ferroptosis, a novel type of iron-dependent cell death, were significantly upregulated in MDA-MB-468. These results indicated that core fucosylation could be a potential biomarker and drug target for highly invasive breast cancer.

Disulfide re-bridging reagents for single-payload antibody-drug conjugates.

Project description:Numerous antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) linker technologies exist for the synthesis of ADCs with drug-to-antibody ratios (DARs) being an even integer (typically 2, 4 or 8). However, ADCs with odd-integer DARs are significantly harder to synthesise. Here, we report the synthesis of ADCs loaded with a single warhead, using TetraDVP linkers which simultaneously re-bridge all four interchain disulfides of an IgG1 antibody.

Computational Construction of Antibody-Drug Conjugates Using Surface Lysines as the Antibody Conjugation Site and a Non-cleavable Linker.

Project description:Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) constitute a category of anticancer targeted therapy that has gathered great interest during the last few years because of their potential to kill cancer cells while causing significantly fewer side effects than traditional chemotherapy. In this paper, a process of computational construction of ADCs is described, using the surface lysines of an antibody and a non-covalent linker molecule, as well as a cytotoxic substance, as files in Protein Data Bank format. Also, aspects related to the function, properties, and development of ADCs are discussed.
