In some embodiments, the antibodies provided herein are useful for treating a disease or condition associated with overactivation and/or hyperproliferation of myeloid cells, or a disease or condition associated with SIRPa and/or SIRPβ1 activity.
This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Pat. Application No. 63/022,309, filed on May 8, 2020, the contents of which are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety.
BACKGROUNDSignal regulatory proteins (SIRPs) are a family of immune receptors with Ig-like extracellular domains. The SIRP family contains three inhibitory, activating, and non-signaling members, which have closely related extracellular regions, but differ in their cytoplasmic domains. SIRPα and SIRPβ1 family members are expressed mainly by myeloid cells, and play a role in immune regulation. Signal regulatory protein alpha (also known as SIRPα, SIRP alpha, CD172a, BIT, MFR, MYD-1, P84, PTPNS1, SHPS1) is a transmembrane glycoprotein and one member of the signal regulatory SIRP family of cell-surface receptors. SIRPα delivers an inhibitory signal via immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibition motifs (ITIMs) located in the cytoplasmic domain of the protein that downregulates myeloid cell phagocytic and pro-inflammatory activity. SIRPα on phagocytes interacts with CD47, also known as integrin-associated protein (IAP), a ubiquitously expressed cell surface protein that serves, among other things, as a marker of “self” on viable cells. Thus, CD47/SIRPα signaling acts as a “do not eat me” immune check point to negatively control innate immune cell phagocytosis. SIRPβ1 (also known as SIRPβ, SIRPB1, and CD 172b) delivers an activating signal through association with the DNA polymerase III subunit tau (DNAX) activation protein of 12 kDa (DAP12, also known as transmembrane immune signaling adaptor TYROBP, or TYROBP), a transmembrane adaptor protein with an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM). SIRPα and SIRPβ1 are expressed on myeloid cells of the immune system, as well as other cell types. There is a need for agents that bind to SIRPα and SIRPβ1 expressing cells for the treatment of a variety of diseases and conditions.

In some embodiments, the therapeutic SIRP antibodies provided herein are useful for treating a disease or condition involving the overactivation or hyperproliferation of certain cells, e.g. SIRPα and/or SIRPβ1-expressing cells (e.g. myeloid cells) as a part of the pathology.
In some embodiments, a therapeutically effective amount of the antibody or the pharmaceutical composition is sufficient to deplete a population of cells in the subject, e.g. by ADCC and/or ADCP. In some embodiments, the cells are overactivated or hyperproliferative. In some embodiments, the cells are SIRPα and/or SIRPβ1-expressing cells. In some embodiments, the cells do not express SIRPγ. In some embodiments, the SIRPα and/or SIRPβ1-expressing cells are myeloid cells or myeloid progenitor cells. In some embodiments, the SIRPα and/or SIRPβ1-expressing myeloid cells are selected from the group consisting of monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, mast cells, eosinophils, basophils, and neutrophils. In some embodiments, the cells are tissue resident cells. In other embodiments, the cells are circulating cells. In some embodiments, the cell depletion is antibody dose-dependent. In some embodiments, a therapeutically effective amount of the antibody or the pharmaceutical composition is sufficient to deplete a population of SIRPα and/or SIRPβ1-expressing cells in a subject. In some embodiments, the SIRPα and/or SIRPβ1-expressing cells comprise myeloid cells. In some embodiments, the SIRPα and/or SIRPβ1-expressing cells comprise monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, mast cells, eosinophils, basophils, neutrophils or any combination thereof.
In some embodiments, the disease or condition is characterized by overactivation and/or hyperproliferation of myeloid cells (including myeloid progenitor cells), or other SIRPα-expressing or SIRPβ1-expressing cells. In some embodiments, the disease or condition is characterized by the overactivation and/or hyperproliferation of additional cell types, such as lymphocytes.
In some embodiments, the disease or condition comprises cytokine release syndrome (CRS). In some embodiments, the CRS is associated with iatrogenic immune activation, e.g. associated with checkpoint inhibitors for the treatment of malignancies, associated with T cell therapy, associated with T cell therapy such as chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy or TCR T cell therapy, associated with T cell activating bispecific monoclonal antibody therapy, or associated with NK cell activating bispecific monoclonal antibody therapy.

EXAMPLES Example 1: Hybridoma Library Screens for Identification of Anti-Human SIRPα and SIRPβ1 AntibodiesAnti-human SIRP monoclonal antibodies (referred to interchangeably in these examples as SIRP antibodies) were identified from various rodent models of immunization. Rodent strains were immunized with the extracellular domain of human SIRPα (hSIRPα). Using standard techniques, hybridoma libraries (six libraries) were generated from the splenocytes of immunized animals. Anti-hSIRPα antibody-producing clones were identified by flow cytometric analyses of hSIRPα-expressing cells incubated in the supernatant of individual clones. Seventeen individual clones were identified (Antibodies 2, 5, 6, and 16-19). Antibodies 2, 5 and 6 have a human variable region and a rat IgG2b Fc domain. Antibodies 16-18 have a human variable region and a mouse IgG2a Fc domain. Antibody 19 has a human variable region and a mouse IgG1 Fc domain.
Example 2: Binding of SIRP Antibodies to SIRPα,SIRPβ1, and SIRPγ ProteinsSelected hybridoma supernatants of Example 1 were further tested for binding to human SIRPα V1 and cynomolgus monkey SIRPα by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Briefly, 1 µg/mL of the extracellular domain of the SIRPα was coated onto high protein-binding plates and blocked. Supernatants were diluted 1:5 and added to coated plates. The antibodies were detected by anti-rat or anti-mouse IgG antibodies and a chemiluminescent substrate.
Selected hybridoma supernatants of Example 1 were further tested for binding to human SIRPα V1, SIRPβ1, and SIRPγ by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Briefly, 2 µg/mL of the extracellular domain of each of the SIRPs was coated onto high protein-binding plates and blocked. Supernatants were added undiluted to coated plates. The antibodies were detected by anti-rat or anti-mouse IgG antibodies and a chemiluminescent substrate.
Antibodies 2, 6, 22, and 27 were tested for their affinities to two hSIRPα variants (V1 and V2), and to cynomolgus monkey (herein referred to as “cyno”) SIRPα. The composition of Antibodies 2, 6, 22, and 27 is presented in Tables 10 and 11. The affinities of these SIRPα antibodies were determined using surface plasmon resonance. The SIRPα antibodies were flowed onto a chip and captured by an anti-human IgG covalently coupled to the surface of the chip. A three-point titration of the extracellular binding domain of hSIRPα was performed per the manufacturer’s recommended protocols. The resulting kinetic data were analyzed and fitted globally using a 1:1 binding model and calculated affinities are presented in Table 13 and Table 14 below. The tables show the KD (affinity) of binding of selected antibodies to monomeric human SIRPα and monomeric cynomolgus monkey SIRPα,as assayed by BIACORE.
SIRP antibodies were tested for their affinities to human SIRPα,SIRPβ1, and SIRPγ using a biolayer interferometry (BLI) Octet system (Pall ForteBio). The composition of these antibodies is presented in Tables 10 and 11. Each SIRP antibody with rat or mouse Fc was immobilized on a biosensor tip by an anti-mouse IgG capture (AMC). SIRP-His monomer protein at three concentrations (100 nM, 33.3 nM, 11.1 nM) were exposed to the biosensor to measure on-rate kinetics of SIRP antibodies binding to SIRP-His protein. The biosensors were then exposed to wash buffer to measure off-rate kinetics. The resulting kinetic data were analyzed and fitted using a 1:1 binding model with kon and kdis fitted separately at each SIRP-His protein concentration. KD affinities were calculated as kdis to kon ratio at each concentration of SIRP-His and averaged. This average of the KD affinities for each antibody is presented in Table 15 below. The table shows the KD of binding of selected antibodies to monomeric human SIRPα,SIRPβ1, and SIRPγ, as assayed by ForteBio Octet.
Selected antibodies and isotype control were tested for binding to human monocytes, neutrophils, and lymphocytes, and platelets. Isotype control has the same irrelevant CDR as
Selected antibodies were tested for binding to stably transfected human SIRPα,SIRPβ1 (co-transfected with DAP12), or SIRPγ Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells via flow cytometry. A titration of SIRP antibodies was added to the cells and detected using a fluorescently labelled secondary antibody. Graph depicts the median fluorescence intensity (MFI) at each concentration.
ADCC induced by a selected SIRP antibody and an isotype control on primary human and cynomolgus monkey monocytes and resting T lymphocytes (humans) were evaluated. SIRP expressing-human and cynomolgus monkey primary monocyte or human resting T lymphocytes (target) cells were stained with intracellular CellTracker™ Green, washed, and exposed to the SIRP antibody or isotype control antibody at various concentrations. The isotype control had the same irrelevant CDRs as the isotype control in
ELISA analyses were performed to assess whether the SIRP antibodies of the disclosure compete with CD47-Fc for binding to hSIRPα, and whether any of the SIRPα antibodies could displace CD47-Fc from binding to hSIRPα. To carry out the competition experiments, the extracellular binding domain of SIRPα was coated onto a 384-well plate and allowed to incubate overnight. Next, blocking solution was added. Next, the SIRP antibody and controls at a concentration of 10 µg/mL was incubated on the plate for 1 hour. Biotinylated CD47-Fc at a concentration of 2.5 µg/mL was next added and allowed to equilibrate for 1 hour. Next, following a wash, streptavidin-HRP was added, and the plate was washed again, and next developed using substrate, following standard protocols. The plate was then read on a plate reader to assess the luminescence. A non-SIRPα-binding human IgG4 monoclonal antibody was used as a negative binding control. Non-biotinylated CD47-Fc was used as a positive control. Antibody 6 was tested, and data shown in
SIRP antibodies were tested for their ability to interfere with SIRPα-CD47 binding using the biolayer interferometry (BLI) Octet system (Pall ForteBio). Streptavidin (SA) biosensors were coated with biotinylated recombinant CD47-His. Human SIRPα conjugated to an Fc region was tested to determine its ability to bind to CD47 immobilized on the biosensors and a response value during association is generated. To test for inhibition of SIRPα-CD47 binding, selected SIRP antibodies (200 nM) were each pre-incubated at a 10-fold molar excess with SIRPα protein (20 nM) and then tested for their ability to block binding of SIRPα to CD47-His-biotin immobilized on the biosensors. Table 16 shows total response values calculated during association for each antibody-SIRPα complex measured and compared, as percent of response, to the binding of SIRPα alone to CD47. A greater than or equal to 100% response indicates that the binding of the Antibody to SIRPα does not prevent SIRPα from binding to CD47. A less than 100% response indicates the antibody blocks or partially blocks SIRPα from binding to CD47.
