i - ABSTRACT -

Production of recombinant monoclonal antibodies against HSET

HSET (Human Spleen Embryo Testis), belonged to the kinesin 14A family, is a protein required

for centrosome clustering during cell division. Since cancer cells with extra-centrosomes could

lead to multi-polar division, resulting in genomic instability and cell death, these cancer cells

depend on the centrosome clustering activity of HSET that helps normal chromosome

segregation by focusing several centrosomes into two poles. As the first step of the strategy to

inhibit the function of HSET in cancer cells, we produced mouse monoclonal antibodies (mAbs)

against HSET using a hybridoma technique and characterized them. Peptide antigens of 12

amino acid (aa)-length, designed from the regions corresponding to N-terminus (1-134th aa) and

C-terminus (626-672th aa) that do not have homology with other kinesin molecules, were used

for mouse immunization. Total 28 of mAbs against the peptides from N-terminus HSET were

obtained, but no mAb against C-terminus of HSET. In ELISA with the Abs in ascitic fluids

against yeast surface displayed HSET, clone 8C346 showed high affinity. In ELISA using Abs

purified from hybridoma culture supernatants, clone 1C274, 2C280, 2C281, 6C407, 9C352, and

9C353 showed relatively strong binding to Whole HSET protein. We expect that Abs with high

binding to HSET could inhibit HSET function, resulting in selective death of cancer cells.

I. INTRODUCTION

The centrosome is an important cell organelle that participates in spindle assembly and

chromosome segregation during mitosis (Doxsey, 2001). Duplication of centrosome is tightly

regulated once per cell cycle, thus cells in mitosis should have two functional centrosomes

(Sharp et al., 2000). Unlike normal cells, some cancer cells have amplified number of

centrosomes. It is still controversial whether amplified centrosomes are the consequence or

beginning of tumorigenesis (Boveri, 2008), but cancer cells have been evolved to achieve

bi-polar division with extra-centrosomes. Several mechanisms are known to avoid multi-bi-polar

division such as extrusion, inactivation, segregation, and clustering of extra-centrosomes

(Manandhar et al., 2005; Basto et al., 2008; Godinho et al., 2009).

Since it was observed in N115 mouse neuroblastoma cell line (Ring et al., 1982) and breast

tissue (Salisbury et al., 1999), centrosome clustering mechanism has been studied. Microtubules

binding proteins such as integrin-linked kinase (ILK), dynein, and HSET are related to

clustering of centrosomes in different mechanisms (Ogden et al., 2012). ILK localized at

centrosome regulates the formation of mitotic spindle (Fielding et al., 2008). Dynein, minus end

directed motor protein, recruits nuclear mitotic apparatus protein (NuMa) to spindle poles and

bundles centrosomes (Quintyne et al., 2005). Over-expression of NuMa interrupts the function

of dynein, resulting in declustering of centrosomes.

HSET belongs to the kinesin 14A family and consists of microtubule binding domain,

coiled coil domain for homo-dimer formation, and motor domain. It has been known that HSET

(12)

triphosphate (ATP) by motor domain. Binding and sliding between microtubule, HSET moves

to the spindle pole and gathers extra-centrosomes into two poles. During interphase, HSET is

sequestered in the nucleus (Cai et al., 2009). As cells enter mitosis, HSET spreads out cytosol

and binds to microtubule after nuclear membrane breakdown. The HSET level of mRNA was

significantly increased in tumor tissues than normal tissues (Kleylein-Sohn et al., 2012). In the

absence of HSET, the viability of cancer cells that mostly contain extra-centrosomes was

decreased about 50%. In contrast, cancer cell lines containing two centrosomes showed only

slightly reduced cell viability (Kwon et al., 2008). Centrosome clustering activity of HSET

makes it an attractive anti-cancer target molecule because the role of HSET is dispensable in

normal cells (Kleylein-Sohn et al., 2012).

Focused on the difference between normal and cancer cells in dependency to HSET, there

were several trials to inhibit centrosome clustering in cancer cells using small molecule

inhibitors. For example, griseofulvin, which has been used as an antifungal agent clinically,

induces multi-polar division in cancer cells (Rebacz et al., 2007; Raab et al., 2012). It is known

that griseofulvin binds to microtubule and inhibits its function. Noscapaine and its derivative

(brominated noscapine) are known to de-cluster centrosomes, accompanying G2/M arrest and

apoptotic cell death (Aneja et al., 2006; Karna et al., 2011). Phenanthrene-derived poly

ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitor is also known as a centrosome de-clustering agent (Castiel

et al., 2011).

Until now, two synthetic compounds have been reported to inhibit the activity of HSET in

cancer cells (Watts et al., 2013; Wu et al., 2013). One is CW069 that can selectively recognize

HSET and bind to the loop 5 cleft in the HSET motor domain. CW069 can change the structure

of ATP binding site in HSET by binding in an allosteric manner. In extra-centrosome containing

(13)

treatment of CW069, similar extent induced by knock-down of HSET using siRNA. The other

compound, AZ82, can inhibit the enzymatic activity of HSET in an ATP-competitive manner.

Nevertheless several advantages of centrosome de-clustering drugs, it is preferred to use

monoclonal antibody (mAb) as a therapeutic agent because of safety and half-life in vivo

(Chames et al., 2009; Goldenberg and Sharkey, 2012). Injection of anti-HSET mAbs into cells

induced the abnormal movement of chromosome (Gordon et al., 2001), suggesting that HSET

function can be inhibited by Ab.

The purpose of this study is to generate anti-HSET mAbs that could inhibit HSET function

in cancer cells. Mouse anti-HSET mAbs were produced using a hybridoma technique and then

II. MATERIALS AND METHODS

A. Production of anti-HSET mAbs secreting hybridoma cell line

Peptide antigen were immunized to three 8 to 12-week old BALB/C mice (female) and the

mice that showed high immune response were chosen. Mouse spleen cells were fused with

SP2/0 myeloma cells to generate hybridoma. Cells were then diluted and clones were grown

from single parent cells on microtiter wells in hypoxanthine-aminopterin-thymidine (HAT)

medium. The mAbs secreted by the different clones were assayed for their ability to bind to the

antigen by ELISA. The most productive and stable clones were selected and injected in the

peritoneal cavity of mice. After 10-14 days, antibody-rich fluids called ascitic fluids were

collected from mice. High purity mAbs were also purified from culture supernatant of

hybridoma cells using protein G resin for assays.

B. Confirmation of mAbs in ascitic fluids by western blotting

Ascitic fluids were separated on 12% acrylamide gels with 3 µl per well and transferred

onto polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membrane. After blocking of the membrane with 5%

skim milk in TBST (0.1% Tween20 in 10 mM Tris-Cl, 150 mM NaCl, pH 7.2) for 2 hrs at room

temperature, the membrane was incubated with 10,000-fold diluted alkaline phosphatase

(AP)-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG (Fc specific) mAbs (Sigma) at 4°C overnight to detect heavy

developed by 5-Bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl phosphate/nitro blue tetrazolium (BCIP/NBT) for 5

min.

C. Displaying HSET fragment on the surface of yeast cells

HSET fragment (Met1 - Ala100) was amplified using restriction enzyme site-containing

primers (HsNtNheI 5’GATCTAGCTAGCATGGACCCGCAGAGGTCCCCCCTATTGG

-3’, Hs-Nt-BamHI 5’- GAGATCAGTCTCGAGCTTCCTGTTGGCCTGAGC -3’). PCR

products were digested with BamHI and NheI, then inserted into yeast surface display vector

pCTCON and transformed into yeast strain EBY100 by electroporation. Yeast cells were

grown in SD-CAA at 30°C until absorbance at 600nmreaches 6.0 and the media were changed

into SG-CAA to induce expression of HSET fragment at 20°C for 20 hrs. To confirm the

expression level of HSET fragment on yeast cell surface, yeast cells were washed with TBST

and labeled with mouse anti-myc mAb (IG THERAPY, IG-A03002) for 30 min at room

temperature. After washing cells with TBST once, yeast cells were labeled with

FITC-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG as a secondary Ab (Sigma, A1418) for 15 min at 4°C. Then,

yeast cells were washed with TBST once, followed by flow cytometric analysis.

D. Preparation of whole HSET protein

HSET (Met1 - Lys673) gene (ORIGENE, RG215326) was amplified by PCR using

restriction enzyme site-containing primers (BamHI-HSET 5’-

GATCTAGGATCCATGGACCCGCAGAGG -3’, HSET-XhoI 5’-

GAGATCAGTCTCGAGCTTCCTGTTGGCCTGAGC -3’) and Pfu polymerase (Intron, Korea).

expression vector (Novagen) to produce whole HSET protein. Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3)

pLysE cells (Novagen) were transformed with pET21a-HSET plasmid and grown in 1 L of

Luria Bertani medium with 100 μg/ml of ampicillin and 25 μg/ml of chloramphenicol at 30°C,

until absorbance reaches 0.6 at 600 nm. Expression of whole HSET protein was induced by

adding 0.5 mM of isopropyl 1-thio-β-D-galactopyranoside.

After growing cells at 25°C for 6 hrs, cells were collected by centrifugation at 8000 rpm for

30 min at 4°C. By grinding liquid nitrogen-frozen pellet using mortar and pestle, cell walls

could be disrupted. Pellet powder was re-suspended with 30 ml of binding buffer (0.5% NP-40

in 50 mM Tris-HCl, 300 mM NaCl, pH 8.0) containing EDTA-free protease inhibitor cocktail

(Roche). After mixing the mixture in rotator for 15 min at 4°C, cells were sonicated in 30% of

amplitude, 20 sec pulse on, 30 sec pulse off, for total 1 min 20 sec processing time.

Supernatant was collected by centrifugation at 8000 rpm for 30 min at 4°C. 2 ml of cobalt

resin was mixed with the supernatant at 4°C for 2 hrs. Cobalt resin was transferred to column

and washed with washing buffer (20 mM of imidazole in binding buffer) several times. Whole

HSET protein was eluted by adding 20 ml of elution buffer (300 mM imidazole in binding

buffer) to column and collected in Vivaspin (molecular weight cut-off 10,000 Dalton). Whole

HSET protein was concentrated by centrifugation at 5000 rpm at 4°C and then buffer was

changed to TBS.

E. Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) for binding of mAbs to HSET

Ninety six-well polystyrene microtiter plate (Nunc, Invitrogen) were coated with

immunogen (0.05 μg/well) Met1 - Lys50 of HSET synthetic peptide (0.1 μg/well) or HSET

(17)

Lys673) protein (2.5 μg/well) at 4°C overnight. The wells were blocked with 5% skimmed milk

for 2 hr at room temperature. After discard blocking solution by tapping, anti-HSET mAbs

(50-fold diluted ascitic fluids, 5 µg of purified mAbs in blocking solution) were treated for 1 hr at

room temperature. The wells were washed with TBST three times and treated with

AP-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG (Sigma) for 1 hr at room temperature. The wells were washed

with TBST three times and ρ-nitrophenyl phosphate solution (1 mg/ml in 0.1 M glycine, 1 mM

ZnCl2, 0.1 mM MgCl2, pH 10.4) was added to the wells as a substrate of secondary Ab. The

absorbance was read at 405 nm in a microplate reader.

F. Sequence analysis of variable region gene in immunoglobulin from hybridoma cell lines

Total RNA from each hybridoma cell lines was extracted using easy-BLUE Total RNA

Extraction Kit (Intron, Korea) and cDNA was synthesized by PrimeScript RT Master Mix

(Takara) using total RNA as a template. Variable region genes were amplified by polymerase

chain reaction (PCR) using primers that specifically bind to framework or constant regions of

immunoglobulin genes described in Table 1 (Williams et al., 2010). Sequences of PCR products

III. RESULTS

A. The design of peptide antigen for immunization

HSET belongs to kinesin family (Hirokawa and Takemura, 2005) and most of kinesin

proteins share similar sequences of amino acid with HSET (Fig. 1). Amino acid sequence and

each domain of HSET are shown in Figure 2. To increase specificity of Ab to HSET, it is

essential to avoid targeting the regions which show high homology with other kinesins. We

performed BLAST search for HSET to avoid cross-reactivity of anti-HSET Ab with kinesin

proteins (Fig. 3). N-terminus (Met1 - Arg134) and C-terminus (Asn626 - Arg672) regions of

HSET showed relatively low homology to other kinesins, compared to motor region of HSET.

The coiled coil region (Glu249 - Glu306) was considered to be unsuitable to use as antigen

because it has many hydrophobic amino acids and moderate similarity with other kinesins.

Finally we designed 12 amino acid-length peptides from 14 hydrophilic regions

corresponding to N- and C-terminus of HSET for mice immunization (Table 2) and the location

15 B. Preparation of antigen

To confirm the binding activity of mAbs with expanded length antigens instead of 12

amino acid-length short peptide, we prepared antigen by various methods. Firstly, we

synthesized a 50 amino acid-length peptide corresponding to N-terminus of HSET (Met1 -

Lys50).

Also a little bit longer, HSET (Met1 - Ala100) proteins were fused with yeast surface

protein Aga2 using yeast expression vector and displayed on the surface of yeast cells (Fig. 4A).

The expression level of HSET fragment displayed on the yeast was detected using c-myc tag

located at C-terminus of HSET and FITC conjugated secondary Ab through flow cytometry (Fig.

4B). As a result, more than 60% of yeast cells successfully displayed HSET fragment. To use

yeast surface displayed protein as an antigen of ELISA, we determined whether yeast cells

could be coated on the 96-well microtiter plate or not. As a result, it is confirmed that yeast cells

could be coated on the plate and detected by anti-HSET Ab (Fig. 4C).

To ascertain that mAbs bind to full-length protein, whole HSET protein tagged with

hexa-histidine at the C-terminus was purified from E.coli. Protein in cell lysates was captured by

cobalt resin via histidine tag and eluted by addition of high concentration imidazole solution.

We obtained 700 µg of protein per 1 L culture. The purity of protein was confirmed by

SDS-PAGE and western blotting (Fig. 5). The bands below 50 kDa detected by western blotting were

thought to be the degraded forms of HSET. The band near 70 kDa (Fig. 5A) seems to be HSET

protein in which N-terminus and C-terminus are lost, because it was not detected by both

C. Binding of anti-HSET mAbs to different forms of HSET antigen

Twenty-eight hybridoma cell lines were generated using a hybridoma technique with

immunization of HSET peptides (Table 2). To get high concentration of mAb, we injected

hybridoma cells into abdominal cavity of mice and collected the Ab-rich ascitic fluids. On the

other hands, Abs were purified from the supernatant of hybridoma cells by affinity

chromatography. The ascitic fluids and the Abs purified from hybridoma culture supernatant

were analyzed by western blotting and SDS-PAGE (Fig. 6 and 10).

Four different forms of HSET antigens were prepared to analyze the binding activity of

twenty-eight anti-HSET mAbs. Three antigens including 12 amino acid-length peptides used for

mice immunization, 50 amino acid-length synthetic peptide (Met1 - Lys50), and 100 amino

acid-length HSET fragment (Met1 - Ala100) displayed on the yeast surface were used for

ELISA to analyze the binding activities of mAbs in ascitic fluids. The purified whole HSET

antigen was used to analyze the binding of the purified IgG mAbs.

First, we analyzed the binding of mAbs in ascitic fluids to 12 amino acid-length peptides.

Most of clones bound to each peptide which had been used for immunization with high extent,

except for clone 1C272, 2C279, 2C280, and 2C281 (Fig. 7). To confirm whether mAbs in

ascitic fluids bind to longer synthetic peptide (Met1 - Lys50), ELISA was performed.

Anti-HSET mAbs in ascitic fluids were incubated with the peptide-coated wells and then detected

with AP-conjugated anti-mouse IgG Ab. Clone 6C407, 8C346, 9C352, and 9C353 showed high

binding, compare to positive control that commercial anti-HSET mAb (Fig. 8). MAbs in ascitic

fluids, which target epitopes between Met1 - Ala100 of HSET, were analyzed by ELISA using

(29)

19

high binding and clone 6C407 and 7C315 bound 1.7-fold greater than negative control to HSET

N-terminus (Met1 - Ala100) displayed on yeast cells (Fig. 9).

In ELISA using ascitic fluids, 2 µl of ascitic fluids was treated per well. Considering that

the amount of mAbs in 3 µl of ascitic fluids was similar to 1 µg of positive control mouse IgG

(Fig. 6), about 1 µg of mAbs were treated to each well. Although concentration of mAbs was

different between clones, it seems that binding of mAbs to antigen was mainly determined by

the affinity of mAbs. It was because that 8C346 Ab amount in ascitic fluids was smaller than

8C344, but 8C346 showed higher binding to 50 amino acid-length peptide and yeast displayed

HSET fragment in ELISA (Fig. 8 and 9).

When the purified mAbs were stored in 50% of glycerol/ 0.05% of sodium azide,

aggregation of the purified mAbs was observed, making us unable to determine accurate

concentration of the purified mAbs. The concentration of the purified mAbs used for ELISA

was compensated based on SDS-PAGE result (Fig. 10). The binding activity of the purified

mAbs to whole HSET (Met1 - Lys673) protein was confirmed by ELISA. Clone 1C274, 2C280,

2C281, 6C407, 9C352, and 9C353 bound to whole HSET protein, to similar extent with a

D. Comparison of binding activity between mAbs

We summarized the results of ELISA of Fig. 7, 8, 9, and 11 (Table 4). Clone 6C407 and

8C346 against Glu43 - Arg54 and Met1 - Lys12 of HSET, bound all kinds of antigen and were

expected to have high binding activity. Clone 2C280 and 2C281, these bound to whole HSET

protein, but not to yeast displayed protein. There are two clones that could bind peptide and

whole HSET protein but yeast displayed protein, clone 9C352 and 9C353 which have epitope

between Lys12 - Lys23. Because of different targeting region of clone 1C274 and 3C290

(Pro123 - Arg134 and Gln115 - Ala126, respectively), they were not available using Met1 -

Lys50 peptide and Met1 - Ala100 yeast displayed protein as antigens to perform ELISA.

Nevertheless, clone 1C274 and 3C290 showed comparatively high binding to whole HSET

protein. All of these clones were targeting N-terminus of HSET, not C-terminus. The reason

could be explained when amino acid sequence of human HSET and mouse KIFC1, were aligned.

Because C-terminus region of HSET and KIFC1 were almost similar sequence, it is thought that

29 E. Sequence analysis of anti-HSET mAbs

Sequence of mAbs were analyzed for the generation or enginieering of recombinant Ab.

DNA sequences of all mAbs were analyzed regardless of their binding activities. It is because

that even mAbs with low binding activity against the prepared HSET could strongly bind to the

intracellularly expressed HSET. Variable region genes were amplified and read by the primers

that hybridize to immunoglobulin genes (Table 1). In case of clone 5C303 and 6C406, Vĸ genes

were not able to be identified because those genes were amplified by MKV2 primer which also

annealed to pseudo Vĸ gene from myeloma fusion partner cell. In case of clone 8C342, VH gene

was not amplified by any MHV primers for unknown reason.

Comparing the sequences of mAbs, mAbs that target same region of HSET had similar

variable region sequence (Table 5). Variable heavy chain genes (VH) of 3C288, 3C289, 3C290,

and 3C292 that target Gln115 - Ala126 (peptide 3) were 100% identical. In particular, 3C288

and 3C289 had 100% identical variable kappa chain (Vĸ). Clone 6C404 and 6C406 that target

Glu43 - Arg54 (peptide 6) had 100% identical VH sequence, although their Vĸ sequences could

not be compared. Clone 4C295 and 4C298 that recognize Ser33 - Asp44 (peptide 4) also had

IV. DISCUSSION

It is well known that several cancer cells have amplified centrosomes compare with normal

cells. There were many attempts to target centrosome bundling mechanism as a development of

therapeutic molecules, including antifungal drug griseofulvin (Rebacz et al., 2007), kinesin

spindle protein inhibitor, CENP-E inhibitor (Huszar et al., 2009), and phenanthrene-derived

PARP inhibitor (Castiel et al., 2011). In recent studies, some small molecules that have been

developed to block the centrosome clustering function of HSET induced the death of cancer

cells, suggesting that HSET would be a promising target molecule for cancer therapy (Watts et

al., 2013; Wu et al., 2013).

Generally, comparing to small molecule inhibitors which can cause side effects from the

lack of specificity, mAbs are known to have high specificity against target antigen (Huang et al.,

2004). Moreover, the half-lives of mAbs are 4-fold longer than small molecule inhibitors

(Dancey and Sausville, 2003).

In this study, we successfully produced mAbs against N-terminus region of HSET

molecules using a hybridoma technique, with the expectation to inhibit the function of HSET in

the cancer cells in which function of HSET is indispensable for their cell division. HSET

sequences were analyzed by BLAST search to design antigen for immunization. Some regions

of HSET which show relatively hydrophilic and low homology with other proteins were

synthesized as 12 amino acid-length peptides. The advantage of short length antigens, instead of

immunization with full length protein, is that the production of anti-HSET mAbs which show

cross-reactivity with other kinesin could be avoided. Though several mAbs to peptide or whole

(43)

33

molecule through intracelluar expression of these mAbs should be confirmed by the method of

immunoprecipitation and immunofluorescence.

Binding activity of mAbs was different, depending on the types of antigen. It may be two

reasons as follows. First, the glycosylation pattern may affect the binding site of mAbs. HSET

fragment displayed on the yeast surface can be glycosylated in unpredicted regions of protein.

Different glycosylation pattern can lead to the change of protein conformation. Second, mAbs

that had been derived from the immunization with HSET peptide antigens could not recognize

the secondary/tertiary structure of intact HSET protein.

In fact, we tried simultaneously a hybridoma technique and a phage display technique to

obtain anti-HSET mAbs. Unfortunately, however, none of the mAbs was obtained from phage

display technique in which phage surface-displayed human Ab (single chain variable fragments)

library was panned against the peptide antigens (corresponding to Met1 - Ala100 and Gln625 -

Lys673 of HSET, respectively) as well as yeast surface-displayed HSET fragment (Met1 -

Ala100).

All most of IgG mAbs of 150 kDa cannot enter cells. To target intracellular molecules

using an Ab, internalization of Ab should be allowed. As a matter of fact, many researchers pay

attention to intracellular targeting Ab and a variety of attempts are being tried to penetrate Ab

into the cells (Kaiser et al., 2014). HSET is localized in nucleus and cytosol during interphase

and mitosis (Cai et al., 2009), respectively. It implies that anti-HSET Ab should enter across the

cellular membrane to target HSET molecule. Therefore, to inhibit HSET function by the

treatment of anti-HSET mAbs to cancer cells, the conversion of non-internalizing anti-HSET

(44)

V. CONCLUSION

We generated mouse mAbs against HSET protein involved in centrosome clustering

essential for division of the cancer cells with extra-centrosome, and analyzed the binding

HSET 에 대한 재조합 단클론 항체 생산

아주대학교 대학원 의생명과학과 서 영 실 (지도교수 : 권 명 희)

HSET (Human spleen Embryo Testis)은 키네신 14군에 속한 단백질로서 세포 분열 시 중심체의 군집 (centrosome clustering)에 필수적인 역할을 한다. 세 개 이상의 중심체를 가진 암세포의 경우에는 다극성으로 분열 (multi-polar division) 시, 유전체 불안정성과 세포 사멸을 일으킬 수 있다. 이러한 암세포는 다극성 분열을 회피하기 위해 HSET을 필요로 하는데, 이는 HSET에 의하여 중심체가 군집화 되면 다극성 분열이 억제되고 정상적인 염색체의 분리가 가능해지기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 암세포에서 HSET의 기능을 저해하기 위한 첫 번째 단계로서, 하이브리도마 기법을 이용하여 생쥐로부터 항-HSET 단클론 항체를 제작하여 항원에 대한 친화성을 분석하였다. 생쥐에 면역하기 위한 항원으로는 다른 키네신과의 상동성이 낮은 HSET의 N 말단 부위 (1-134번째 아미노산)와 C 말단 부위 (626-672번째 아미노산)에 해당하는 12개 아미노산으로 구성된 펩타이드를 사용하였다. 총 28개의 항체를 얻었으며 모두 HSET의 N 말단에 특이적이었다. 효소면역측정법을 사용하여 생쥐의 복수 속에 존재하는 항체와 효모
