Claudin 蛋白简介
目前,在人类基因组中已注释了至少 26 个编码 Claudin 蛋白(CLDNs 1-26)的基因,Claudin在上皮稳态、组织通透性和信号传导中的多种作用;除了在紧密连接形成中的经典作用外,Claudin 蛋白被发现是信号转导、细胞增殖、干细胞特性以及上皮 - 间质转化过程的关键参与者 (Furuse et al., 1998; Gunzel & Yu, 2013)。
图1. Claudin 蛋白结构:Claudin 具有四个跨膜结构。ECL1 和 ECL2 是单克隆抗体和 CPE 的结合位点。CPE,产气荚膜梭菌肠毒素(Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin);ECL,胞外环。 (Sugiyama & Chau, 2025).
Claudin 蛋白(CLDNs)是四跨膜蛋白,由跨膜分支结构域(TM 1-4)、细胞内 N 端和 C 端以及细胞外环(ECL 1-2)组成 (图1) (Furuse et al., 1998)。Claudin 蛋白(CLDNs)具有器官特异性表达模式,在恶性细胞中存在表达异常(包括过表达、异常表达或表达缺失)(Singh et al., 2010; Tao et al., 2023);随着 Claudin 蛋白的生理及病理生理功能逐步被揭示,其已作为肿瘤学重要治疗靶点和诊断标志物被药研企业与科学家们重点关注;基于CLDN靶点研究也已从之前的单纯治疗,转向为诊疗一体 (Li, 2021)。
Claudin 靶点管线
由于 Claudin 蛋白具有细胞外可及性、组织表达受限、在恶性肿瘤中上调时具有独特的定位模式,且参与肿瘤发生过程,因此它们代表了一类极具潜力的癌症治疗靶点 (Hagen, 2017; Offner et al., 2005)。
Claudin 18.2
截至2025年8月,全球Claudin 蛋白相关药物管线合计199个,其中创新化药3款,生物药149款,细胞疗法55款,疫苗 1款;生物药149个管线中,Claudin 18.2以110个管线居首:自2016年ASCO会议上,德国生物技术公司Ganymed的Claudin 18.2抗体IMAB362惊艳亮相,相比单独化疗,将胃癌患者总生存期从8.4个月延长到13.2个月,死亡的风险下降了49%。很快,安斯泰来即以14亿美元收购Ganymed;由于胃癌是中国仅次于肺癌的第二大癌种,IMAB362的成功吸引了国内众多药企加入该靶点药物的研发竞争。值得注意的是,国内药企在Claudin 18.2靶点的研发竞争中,涌现了许多新尝试,包括双抗、CAR-T、ADC等。

在Claudin 18.2火热竞争的背后,Claudin 6也成为密蛋白家族备受关注的新靶点。在一些癌种如NSCLC中,Claudin 18.2和Claudin 6都存在高表达的现象,Claudin 6高表达的患者其生存期显著短于Claudin 6低表达的患者,在这种背景下,头部生物技术公司如BioNtech,Daiichi Sankyo Inc等纷纷研发靶向Claudin 6的抗体或者CAR-T疗法等。
Claudin 6
截至2025年8月,全球Claudin 6相关管线34个,其中多抗16个占比接近50% ,抗体偶联药物(ADC) 10个,其余为细胞疗法(含NK, T细胞),疫苗(药渡数据);CLDN6在健康成人组织中呈低表达,仅在胎盘和睾丸组织中有表达(图3),而在多种实体瘤中呈现异常高表达。这种表达模式使其成为极具吸引力的治疗靶点,因为针对它的治疗理论上可以实现“精准打击”肿瘤细胞,同时避免对正常组织的损伤。CLDN6在卵巢癌(14%-55%)、睾丸癌(近80%)、子宫内膜癌(17%-21%)、胃癌(10%-52%)和非小细胞肺癌(6%-11%)等多种实体瘤中频繁过表达 (Katoh & Katoh, 2024; Sugiyama & Chau, 2025)。尤其是在铂类耐药卵巢癌中,CLDN6的高表达率使其成为解决这一临床未满足需求的重要突破口。
图3. CLDN6 expression profile of HPA RNA-seq normal tissues (NCBI)
与其他成员类似,CLDN6蛋白包含两个暴露于细胞外的结构域(ECL1和ECL2),这为抗体类药物和细胞治疗提供了可及的结合位点。特别是ECL1区域,其构象相对稳定且具有较好的抗原性,已成为大多数CLDN6靶向药物的结合区域。然而,CLDN家族成员(尤其是CLDN3、4、9)之间存在高度同源性,其中CLDN6与CLDN9的胞外区仅有3个氨基酸差异,这给药物开发带来了特异性设计的重大挑战 (图4)。早期开发的一些CLDN6单抗(如ASP1650)因难以区分CLDN6和CLDN9而终止开发,促使新一代药物必须解决交叉反应性问题。
图4. CLDN6& CLDN9 蛋白序列比对结果;蓝框为胞外区(ECL1&2)红色箭头所示序列差异
CLDN6作为具有高度肿瘤选择性的靶点,已成为实体瘤靶向治疗的新兴焦点。全球研发管线呈现多元化技术路线并行的格局,其中ADC类药物(TORL-1-23、DS-9606a、QLS5132等)进展最快,已在重度经治的卵巢癌、睾丸癌患者中显示出40-45%的客观缓解率;CLDN6相关双抗药物开发数量最多: 截至2025年8月激活状态临床项目7个代表药物BGB-B455、CTIM-76等,该策略通过T细胞重定向机制,在临床前模型中显示出高效肿瘤杀伤;细胞治疗领域则以BioNTech的CAR-T+CARVac联合策略为代表,在早期试验中达到80%的缓解率,为解决实体瘤CAR-T的持久性问题提供了创新方案。
当前研发的核心挑战包括靶点选择性优化、耐药机制克服和生物标志物开发等,而解决这些挑战需要依托结构生物学、抗体工程和药物设计技术的持续创新。
