用图神经网络解析多特异性抗体功能,预测结构与疗效关系。

Disentangling multispecific antibody function with graph neural networks

  • 构建合成数据集模拟抗体拓扑对功能的影响
  • 模型在有限实验数据下仍能准确预测功能
  • 可优化抗体疗效与毒性平衡,适合药物设计者

多特异性抗体可通过同时靶向多个表位实现治疗突破,但其功效是复杂分子结构的涌现特性。理性设计常受限于难以预测域拓扑微小变化对功能的影响,且缺乏全面的实验数据。本文提出一种计算框架:首先开发生成方法,构建大规模、真实感强的合成功能景观,捕捉非线性相互作用;其次提出一种显式编码拓扑约束的图神经网络,区别于仅依赖序列的模型。该模型在合成数据上训练后,能复现复杂功能特性,并通过迁移学习在有限生物数据集上实现高预测精度。我们展示了其在三特异性T细胞衔接器中优化疗效与毒性权衡,以及检索最优公共轻链的应用价值。本工作为解耦多特异性抗体的组合复杂性提供了可靠基准环境,加速下一代疗法的设计。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Multispecific antibodies offer transformative therapeutic potential by engaging multiple epitopes simultaneously, yet their efficacy is an emergent property governed by complex molecular architectures. Rational design is often bottlenecked by the inability to predict how subtle changes in domain topology influence functional outcomes, a challenge exacerbated by the scarcity of comprehensive experimental data. Here, we introduce a computational framework to address part of this gap. First, we present a generative method for creating large-scale, realistic synthetic functional landscapes that capture non-linear interactions where biological activity depends on domain connectivity. Second, we propose a graph neural network architecture that explicitly encodes these topological constraints, distinguishing between format configurations that appear identical to sequence-only models. We demonstrate that this model, trained on synthetic landscapes, recapitulates complex functional properties and, via transfer learning, has the potential to achieve high predictive accuracy on limited biological datasets. We showcase the model's utility by optimizing trade-offs between efficacy and toxicity in trispecific T-cell engagers and retrieving optimal common light chains. This work provides a robust benchmarking environment for disentangling the combinatorial complexity of multispecifics, accelerating the design of next-generation therapeutics.
