A novel humanized Chi3l1 blocking antibody attenuates acetaminophen-induced liver injury in mice.
Antib Ther, 6:1-12, 2023

PubMed Abstract: Acetaminophen (APAP) overdose is a leading cause of acute liver injury in the USA. The chitinase 3-like-1 (Chi3l1) protein contributes to APAP-induced liver injury (AILI) by promoting hepatic platelet recruitment. Here, we report the development of a Chi3l1-targeting antibody as a potential therapy for AILI. By immunizing a rabbit successively with the human and mouse Chi3l1 proteins, we isolated cross-reactive monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) from single memory B cells. One of the human and mouse Chi3l1 cross-reactive mAbs was humanized and characterized in both and biophysical and biological assays. X-ray crystallographic analysis of the lead antibody C59 in complex with the human Chi3l1 protein revealed that the kappa light contributes to majority of the antibody-antigen interaction; and that C59 binds to the 4α-5β loop and 4α-helix of Chi3l1, which is a functional epitope and hotspot for the development of Chi3l1 blocking antibodies. We humanized the C59 antibody by complementarity-determining region grafting and kappa chain framework region reverse mutations. The humanized C59 antibody exhibited similar efficacy as the parental rabbit antibody C59 in attenuating AILI . Our findings validate Chi3l1 as a potential drug target for AILI and provide proof of concept of developing Chi3l1 blocking antibody as a therapy for the treatment of AILI.
