Abstract
The present invention relates to RSPO-binding agents, particularly RSPO3-binding agents and methods of using the agents for treating diseases such as cancer. The present invention provides antibodies that specifically bind human RSPO3 proteins and modulate β-catenin activity. The present invention further provides methods of using agents that modulate the activity of RSPO3 proteins and inhibit tumor growth. Also described are methods of treating cancer comprising administering a therapeutically effect amount of an agent or antibody of the present invention to a patient having a tumor or cancer.

A method of treating cancer in a subject, wherein the method comprises administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an antibody that specifically binds human R-spondin 3 (RSPO3), wherein the antibody comprises:
- (a) a heavy chain CDR1 comprising KASGYTFTDYS (SEQ ID NO:9), KASGYTFTSYTF (SEQ ID NO:34), or DYSIH (SEQ ID NO:78), a heavy chain CDR2 comprising IYPSNGDS (SEQ ID NO:10) or YIYPSNGDSGYNQKFK (SEQ ID NO:79), and a heavy chain CDR3 comprising ATYFANYFDY (SEQ ID NO:11), ATYFANNFDY (SEQ ID NO:35), or TYFANNFD (SEQ ID NO:80);
- and
- (b) a light chain CDR1 comprising QSVDYDGDSYM (SEQ ID NO:12) or KASQSVDYDGDSYMN (SEQ ID NO:81), a light chain CDR2 comprising AAS (SEQ ID NO:13) or AASNLES (SEQ ID NO:82), and a light chain CDR3 comprising QQSNEDPLT (SEQ ID NO:14) or QQSNEDPLTF (SEQ ID NO:83).
A method of inhibiting growth of a tumor, wherein the method comprises contacting the tumor with an effective amount of an antibody that specifically binds human RSPO3, wherein the antibody comprises:
- (a) a heavy chain CDR1 comprising KASGYTFTDYS (SEQ ID NO:9), KASGYTFTSYTF (SEQ ID NO:34), or DYSIH (SEQ ID NO:78), a heavy chain CDR2 comprising IYPSNGDS (SEQ ID NO:10) or YIYPSNGDSGYNQKFK (SEQ ID NO:79), and a heavy chain CDR3 comprising ATYFANYFDY (SEQ ID NO:11), ATYFANNFDY (SEQ ID NO:35), or TYFANNFD (SEQ ID NO:80);
- and
- (b) a light chain CDR1 comprising QSVDYDGDSYM (SEQ ID NO:12) or KASQSVDYDGDSYMN (SEQ ID NO:81), a light chain CDR2 comprising AAS (SEQ ID NO:13) or AASNLES (SEQ ID NO:82), and a light chain CDR3 comprising QQSNEDPLT (SEQ ID NO:14) or QQSNEDPLTF (SEQ ID NO:83).
A method of inhibiting growth of a tumor in a subject, wherein the method comprises administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an antibody that specifically binds human RSPO3, wherein the antibody comprises:
- (a) a heavy chain CDR1 comprising KASGYTFTDYS (SEQ ID NO:9), KASGYTFTSYTF (SEQ ID NO:34), or DYSIH (SEQ ID NO:78), a heavy chain CDR2 comprising IYPSNGDS (SEQ ID NO:10) or YIYPSNGDSGYNQKFK (SEQ ID NO:79), and a heavy chain CDR3 comprising ATYFANYFDY (SEQ ID NO:11), ATYFANNFDY (SEQ ID NO:35), or TYFANNFD (SEQ ID NO:80);
- and
- (b) a light chain CDR1 comprising QSVDYDGDSYM (SEQ ID NO:12) or KASQSVDYDGDSYMN (SEQ ID NO:81), a light chain CDR2 comprising AAS (SEQ ID NO:13) or AASNLES (SEQ ID NO:82), and a light chain CDR3 comprising QQSNEDPLT (SEQ ID NO:14) or QQSNEDPLTF (SEQ ID NO:83).
