A novel fully human anti-NT-ANGPTL3 antibody from phage display library exhibits potent ApoB, TG, and LDL-C lowering activities in hyperlipidemia mice

Dyslipidemia is characterized by elevated plasma levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), triglycerides (TG), and TG-rich lipoprotein (TGRLs) in circulation, and is closely associated with the incidence and development of cardiovascular disease. Angiopoietin-like protein 3 (ANGPTL3) deficiency has been identified as a cause of familial combined hypolipidemia in humans, which allows it to be an important therapeutic target for reducing plasma lipids. Here, we report the discovery and characterization of a novel fully human antibody F1519-D95aA against N-terminal ANGPTL3 (NT-ANGPTL3), which potently inhibits NT-ANGPTL3 with a KD as low as 9.21 nM. In hyperlipidemic mice, F1519-D95aA shows higher apolipoprotein B (ApoB) and TG-lowering, and similar LDL-C reducing activity as compared to positive control Evinacumab (56.50% vs 26.01% decrease in serum ApoB levels, 30.84% vs 25.28% decrease in serum TG levels, 23.32% vs 22.52% decrease in serum LDLC levels, relative to vehicle group). Molecular docking and binding energy calculations reveal that the F1519-D95aA-ANGPTL3 complex (10 hydrogen bonds, -65.51 kcal/mol) is more stable than the Evinacumab-ANGPTL3 complex (4 hydrogen bonds, -63.76 kcal/mol). Importantly, F1519-D95aA binds to ANGPTL3 with different residues in ANGPTL3 from Evinacumab, suggesting that F1519-D95aA may be useful for the treatment of patients resistant to Evinacumab. In conclusion, F1519-D95aA is a novel fully human anti-NT-ANGPTL3 antibody with potent plasma ApoB, TG, and LDL-C lowering activities, which can potentially serve as a therapeutic agent for hyperlipidemia and relevant cardiovascular diseases.
