Construction of Synthetic Nanobody Library in Mammalian Cells by dsDNA-Based Strategies

ABSTRACT: A nanobody is an antibody fragment consisting of a single monomeric variable antigen-binding domain. Mammalian cells are ideal platforms for identifying nanobodies targeting hard-to-display transmembrane proteins and nanobodies that function as modulators of cellular phenotypes. However, the introduction of a high-diversity nanobody library into mammalian cells is challenging. We have developed two novel methods for constructing a nanobody library in mammalian cells. Complementarity-determining region (CDR) random sequences were first incorporated into upstream and downstream dsDNAs by PCR. In the first method, named dsDNA-HR, upstream and downstream dsDNAs containing an identical overlapping sequence were co-transfected into cultured mammalian cells for intracellular homologous recombination that resulted in the formation of an intact nanobody library expression cassette. In the second method, named in vitro ligation, we generated full-length nanobody expression dsDNAs via ligation of restriction digested upstream and downstream dsDNAs. The obtained full-length dsDNAs were transfected into mammalian cells for nanobody library expression. Using both methods, we generated over a million unique nanobody sequences, as revealed by high-throughput sequencing. Single-cell sequencing was employed to resolve the diversity of the dsDNA-HR nanobody library. We also identified a small molecule, Nocodazole, which could enhance the efficacy of dsDNA-HR.

Generation of synthetic Acinetobacter baumannii specific nanobodies

Project description:The bacterial pathogen, Acinetobacter baumannii, is a leading cause of drug-resistant infections. Here, we investigated the potential of developing nanobodies that specifically recognize A. baumannii over other Gram-negative bacteria. Through generation and panning of a synthetic nanobody library, we identified several potential lead candidates. We demonstrate how incorporation of next generation sequencing analysis can aid in selection of lead candidates for further characterization. Using monoclonal phage display, we validated the binding of several lead nanobodies to A. baumannii. Subsequent purification and biochemical characterization revealed one particularly robust nanobody that broadly and specifically bound A. baumannii compared to other common drug resistant pathogens. These findings support the potentially for nanobodies to selectively target A. baumannii and the identification of lead candidates for possible future diagnostic and therapeutic development.

Simultaneous selection of nanobodies for accessible epitopes on immune cells in the tumor microenvironment

Project description:In the rapidly advancing field of synthetic biology, there exists a critical need for technology to discover targeting moieties for therapeutic biologics. We are developing developed INSPIRE-seq, an approach that utilizes a nanobody library and next-generation sequencing to identify nanobodies selected for complex environments. INSPIRE-seq enables the parallel enrichment of immune cell-binding nanobodies that penetrate the tumor microenvironment. Clone enrichment and specificity vary varies across immune cell subtypes in the tumor, lymph node, and spleen. INSPIRE-seq identified a dendritic cell binding clone that binds PHB2. Single-cell RNA sequencing revealed a connection with cDC1s, and immunofluorescence confirmed nanobody-PHB2 colocalization along cell membranes. Structural modeling and docking studies assisted binding predictions and will guide nanobody selection. In this work, we demonstrate that INSPIRE-seq offers an unbiased approach to examine complex microenvironments and assist in the development of nanobodies, which could serve as active drugs, modified to become drugs, or used as targeting moieties. microenvironment, which can be distinct from draining lymph nodes. To identify targets, we selected a clone enriched for dendritic cells that binds to PHB2. Using single cell RNA sequencing, we observe PHB2 signaling is associated with activation in cDC1’s. Immunofluorescence confirmed that the nanobody colocalizes with PHB2 in regions along the cell membrane. Structural modeling with AlphaFold2 and antibody docking using Rosetta assist binding site predictions, thus could be used to guide nanobody selection for future aims. This work shows that INSPIRE-seq can interrogate complex microenvironments and may assist in developing therapeutics.

Construction of Nanobody Library in Mammalian Cells by Linear-double-stranded DNA Based AND Gate Genetic Circuit

Project description:Nanobody is one special type of single-domain antibody fragment with multiple advantages over traditional antibody. Our previous work established linear-double-stranded DNA (ldsDNA, or PCR amplicon) as novel biological parts for building AND gate genetic circuits in mammalian cells. During this AND-gate circuit formation process, the co-transfected up- and down-stream ldsDNAs could be linked together to form intact gene expression cassette. Here, we employed this ldsDNA-based AND-gate (LBAG) strategy to construct nanobody library in mammalian cells. The sequence complexity of complementary determining regions (CDRs) was introduced into ldsDNA by PCR amplification. After being co-transfected into mammalian cells, the up- and down- stream ldsDNAs undergo AND gate linkage and form full nanobody coding regions, containing CDR1-3. High throughput sequencing identified 22,173 unique oligonucleotide sequences in total generated by this strategy. Thus, we developed a novel method to construct nanobody library, which is a start point for building high content nanobody library in mammalian cells.

Nanobodies agains Sars Cov 2 Nsp9 protein protects cells from virus infection

Project description:Nanobodies are emerging as ideal instruments for drug design and several have recently been created to block SARS-Cov-2 entry in the host cell by targeting surface-exposed Spike protein. However, due to the high frequency of mutations that affect Spike, these nanobodies may not efficiently target Spike during viral entry. Here we have established a pipeline that instead targets highly conserved viral proteins that are made only after viral entry into the host cell when the SARS-Cov-2 RNA-based genome is translated. As proof of principle, we designed nanobodies against the SARS-CoV-2 non-structural protein Nsp9, required for replication of the viral genome. To find out if this strategy efficiently blocked viral replication, one of these anti-Nsp9 nanobodies, 2NSP23, previously characterized using immunoassays and NMR spectroscopy for epitope mapping, was encapsulated into lipid nanoparticles (LNP) as mRNA. We show that this nanobody, hereby referred to as LNP-mRNA-2NSP23, is internalized and translated in HEK293 cells. We next infected HEK293-ACE2 cells subjected to LNP-mRNA-2NSP23 with multiple SARS-CoV-2 variants. Analysis of total RNA isolated form infected cells treated or untreated with LNP-mRNA-2NSP23 using qPCR and RNA deep sequencing shows that the LNP-mRNA-2NSP23 nanobody protects HEK293-ACE2 cells and suppresses replication of several SARS-CoV-2 variants. These observations indicate that following translation, the nanobody 2NSP23 inhibits viral replication by targeting Nsp9 in living cells. We propose that LNP-mRNA-2NSP23 may be translated into an innovative technology to generate novel antiviral drugs highly efficient across coronaviruses.

Application of peptide barcoding to obtain high-affinity anti-PD-1 nanobodies

Project description:Cancer treatment has been revolutionized by immune checkpoint inhibitors, which regulate immune cell function by blocking the interactions between immune checkpoint molecules and their ligands. The interaction between programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) and programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) is a target for immune checkpoint inhibitors. Nanobodies, which are recombinant variable domains of heavy-chain-only antibodies, can replace existing immune checkpoint inhibitors, such as anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 conventional antibodies. However, the screening process for high-affinity nanobodies is laborious and time-consuming. Here, we identified high-affinity anti-PD-1 nanobodies using peptide barcoding, which enabled reliable and efficient screening by distinguishing each nanobody with a peptide barcode that was genetically appended to each nanobody. We prepared a peptide-barcoded nanobody (PBNb) library with thousands of variants. Three high-affinity PBNbs were identified from the PBNb library by quantifying the peptide barcodes derived from high-affinity PBNbs. Furthermore, these three PBNbs neutralized the interaction between PD-1 and PD-L1. Our results demonstrate the utility of peptide barcoding and the resulting nanobodies can be used as experimental tools and antitumor agents. Peptide barcoding can be used to screen for molecules other than nanobodies. Our methods, such as the design of peptide barcodes, the design of peptide-barcoded molecules, preparation of peptide-barcoded molecule library, and quantification of peptide barcodes, are helpful in screening for peptide-barcoded molecules.

Single cell analysis of protein epitopes and chromatin accessibility using PHAGE-ATAC [Species_Mix_GFP]

Project description:Single cell multi-omic readouts of both the cellular transcriptome and proteome have significantly enhanced our ability to comprehensively characterize cellular states. Most approaches in this area rely on oligonucleotide barcode-conjugated antibodies that target cell surface epitopes of interest, enabling their concomitant detection with the transcriptome. However, a similar high-throughput measurement of other cellular modalities such as the epigenome in concert with protein levels have not been described. Moreover, detection of epitopes is limited to antigens for which a specific antibody is available. Here, we introduce PHAGE-ATAC, an approach that enables the scalable and simultaneous detection of protein levels and chromatin accessibility data in single cells using the assay of transposase-accessible chromatin with sequencing (ATAC-seq). Quantitative detection of proteins by PHAGE-ATAC is accomplished through the use of engineerable nanobody-displaying phages that are genetically barcoded within the nanobody-encoding phagemids. We demonstrate the utility of PHAGE-ATAC for multimodal single cell genomic analysis in both cell lines and primary human cells. Analogous to phage display approaches, we further establish a synthetic high-complexity library of nanobody-displaying phages and demonstrate its utility to select novel antigen-specific nanobodies for PHAGE-ATAC.
