摘要

了解抗体稳定性和聚集的结构决定因素对治疗发展至关重要。在这项研究中,我们使用动态光散射(DLS)、圆二色性(CD)和氢-氘交换质谱(HDX-MS)研究了贝伐单抗在变性条件下的展开和再折叠行为。抗体在4 M盐酸胍(Gnd-HCl)中孵育诱导展开,然后用1 M盐酸胍稀释再折叠。每个结构域表现出不同的展开动力学:CH2和VH结构域迅速展开,而CH3结构域保持其结构直到45分钟,与已知的热力学稳定性一致。DLS检测到的聚集仅在120分钟和夜间展开后普遍存在,与CH3不稳定相一致。值得注意的是,在抗体的Fc和Fab部分都发现了容易聚集的区域。具体来说,CH3展开时,CH2-CH3和CH3-CH3界面的相互作用出现中断,导致两个结构域的错误折叠和聚集倾向状态。与此同时,VH CDR H1区域在重折叠后表现出异常保护,表明其参与了聚集。这些发现强调了CH2-CH3再折叠的合作性质,并强调了CH3稳定性在防止聚集中的关键作用。恒定和可变结构域的参与强调了单克隆抗体聚集的复杂性和相互依赖性。这项工作提供了对折叠和聚集的特定结构域贡献的机制见解,为设计更稳定的治疗性抗体提供指导。

Interdomain Interactions Modulate Refolding Kinetics and Aggregation in a Monoclonal Antibody.

Understanding the structural determinants of antibody stability and aggregation is essential for therapeutic development. In this study, we investigated the unfolding and refolding behavior of bevacizumab under denaturing conditions using dynamic light scattering (DLS), circular dichroism (CD), and hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS). Unfolding was induced by incubating the antibody in 4 M guanidine hydrochloride (Gnd-HCl), followed by refolding through dilution with 1 M Gnd-HCl. Each domain exhibited distinct unfolding kinetics: the CH2 and VH domains unfolded rapidly, while the CH3 domain retained its structure until 45 min, consistent with its known thermodynamic stability. Aggregation, detected by DLS, was prevalent only after 120 min and overnight unfolding, coinciding with CH3 destabilization. Notably, aggregation-prone regions were identified in both the Fc and Fab portions of the antibody. Specifically, interactions at the CH2-CH3 and CH3-CH3 interfaces appear disrupted upon CH3 unfolding, leading to misfolded and aggregation-prone states in both domains. In parallel, the VH CDR H1 region exhibited aberrant protection after refolding, suggesting its involvement in aggregation. These findings highlight the cooperative nature of CH2-CH3 refolding and underscore the critical role of the CH3 stability in preventing aggregation. The involvement of both constant and variable domains emphasizes the complex, interdependent nature of monoclonal antibody aggregation. This work provides mechanistic insights into domain-specific contributions to folding and aggregation, offering guidance for the design of more stable therapeutic antibodies.
