中文摘要
抑制MICA/B脱落的抗MICA/B抗体在癌症免疫治疗中具有前景,目前正处于1期临床试验阶段。尽管抑制MICA/B脱落通过NKG2D接合促进自然杀伤(NK)细胞驱动的免疫,但Fc段能够介导抗体依赖性细胞毒性。因此,我们通过GAALIE突变对抗MICA/B抗体(克隆7C6)的Fc段进行工程改造,以增加其与Fc激活受体的结合亲和力。7C6-GAALIE抑制MICA/B脱落,并有效触发NK细胞对肿瘤细胞的效应功能。此外,我们建立了一个转移性前列腺癌模型,并据此正式证明,在Fc gamma受体人源化小鼠中,7C6-GAALIE在抑制转移方面优于作为野生型人IgG1的7C6。在黑色素瘤和白血病模型中,7C6-GAALIE的治疗效果比作为野生型人IgG1的7C6更为一致。因此,本研究通过Fc优化增强抗体引发NK细胞驱动免疫的能力,为下一代抗MICA/B抗体用于癌症免疫治疗建立了概念验证。

Anti-MICA/B antibodies that inhibit the shedding hold promise for cancer immunotherapy and are in phase 1 clinical trials. Although MICA/B-shedding inhibition promotes natural killer (NK) cell-driven immunity by NKG2D engagement, the Fc enables antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity. We, therefore, engineer the Fc of an anti-MICA/B antibody (clone 7C6) through GAALIE mutations that increase the binding affinity to Fc-activating receptors. 7C6-GAALIE inhibits MICA/B shedding and potently triggers NK cell-effector functions against tumor cells. Furthermore, we establish a model of metastatic prostate cancer with which we formally demonstrate that 7C6-GAALIE is superior to 7C6 as wild-type human IgG1 in inhibiting metastases in Fc gamma receptor-humanized mice. In melanoma and leukemia models, 7C6-GAALIE had a therapeutic efficacy more consistent than that with 7C6 as wild-type human IgG1. Therefore, this study establishes the proof of concept of a next-generation anti-MICA/B antibody for cancer immunotherapy through an Fc optimization that enhances the antibody's ability to elicit NK cell-driven immunity.
