背景技术Background technique

NY-ESO-1属于肿瘤-睾丸抗原(Cancer-Testis Antigen,CTA)家族,能在睾丸、卵巢组织以及多种不同类型的肿瘤组织中表达,而在其他正常组织中不表达,是一种特异性较强的肿瘤抗原。NY-ESO-1是一种内源性抗原,在细胞内生成后被降解成小分子多肽,并与MHC(主组织相容性复合体)分子结合形成复合物,被呈递到细胞表面。SLLMWITQC是衍生自NY-ESO-1抗原的短肽,是NY-ESO-1相关疾病治疗的一种靶标。研究显示,NY-ESO-1在多种肿瘤组织中均有表达,在神经母细胞瘤(Rodolfo M,et al.,Cancer Res,2003,63(20):6948-6955)、肉瘤(Jungbhth A A et al.,Int J Cancer,200l,94(2):252-256)、恶性黑色素瘤(Barrow C,et al.,Clin Cancer Res,2006,12(3Pt 1):764-771)中有非常高的表达,同时在前列腺癌、膀胱癌、乳腺癌、多发性骨髓瘤、肝细胞癌、口腔鳞癌(Ries J,et al.,Anticancer RES,2009,29(12):5125-5130)、以及食管癌(Fujita S,Clin Cancer Res,2004,10(19):6551-6558)中也有较高的表达。对于上述疾病的治疗,可以采用化疗和放射性治疗等方法,但都会对自身的正常细胞造成损害。NY-ESO-1 belongs to the cancer-testis antigen (Cancer-Testis Antigen, CTA) family, which can be expressed in testis, ovarian tissue and many different types of tumor tissues, but not in other normal tissues. Strong tumor antigens. NY-ESO-1 is an endogenous antigen, which is degraded into small molecule polypeptides after being generated in cells, and combined with MHC (major histocompatibility complex) molecules to form complexes, which are presented to the cell surface. SLLMWITQC is a short peptide derived from the NY-ESO-1 antigen and is a target for the treatment of NY-ESO-1-related diseases. Studies have shown that NY-ESO-1 is expressed in a variety of tumor tissues, in neuroblastoma (Rodolfo M, et al., Cancer Res, 2003, 63(20):6948-6955), sarcoma (Jungbhth A et al., Int J Cancer, 2001, 94(2):252-256), malignant melanoma (Barrow C, et al., Clin Cancer Res, 2006, 12(3Pt 1):764-771) very High expression, at the same time in prostate cancer, bladder cancer, breast cancer, multiple myeloma, hepatocellular carcinoma, oral squamous cell carcinoma (Ries J, et al., Anticancer RES, 2009, 29(12): 5125-5130), And esophageal cancer (Fujita S, Clin Cancer Res, 2004, 10 (19): 6551-6558) also has a higher expression. For the treatment of the above diseases, chemotherapy and radiation therapy can be used, but they will cause damage to their own normal cells.

T细胞过继免疫治疗是将对靶细胞抗原具有特异性的反应性T细胞转入病人体内,使其针对靶细胞发挥作用。T细胞受体(TCR)是T细胞表面的一种膜蛋白,其能够识别相应的靶细胞表面的抗原短肽。在免疫系统中,通过抗原短肽特异性的TCR与短肽-主组织相容性复合体(pMHC复合物)的结合引发T细胞与抗原呈递细胞(APC)直接的物理接触,然后T细胞及APC两者的其他细胞膜表面分子就发生相互作用,引起一系列后续的细胞信号传递和其他生理反应,从而使得不同抗原特异性的T细胞对其靶细胞发挥免疫效应。因此,本领域技术人员致力于分离出对NY-ESO-1抗原短肽具有特异性的TCR,以及将该TCR转导T细胞来获得对NY-ESO-1抗原短肽具有特异性的T细胞,从而使他们在细胞免疫治疗中发挥作用。T cell adoptive immunotherapy is the transfer of T cells specific for target cell antigens into the patient's body, so that they can play a role against the target cells. T cell receptor (TCR) is a membrane protein on the surface of T cells that can recognize short antigenic peptides on the surface of the corresponding target cells. In the immune system, direct physical contact between T cells and antigen presenting cells (APCs) is triggered by the binding of antigen peptide-specific TCRs to the peptide-major histocompatibility complex (pMHC complex), and then T cells and The other cell membrane surface molecules of the two APCs interact, causing a series of subsequent cell signaling and other physiological responses, so that T cells with different antigen specificities can exert immune effects on their target cells. Therefore, those skilled in the art are devoted to isolating TCRs specific for NY-ESO-1 antigenic short peptides, and transducing the TCRs into T cells to obtain T cells specific for NY-ESO-1 antigenic short peptides , thus making them useful in cellular immunotherapy.

术语the term

MHC分子是免疫球蛋白超家族的蛋白质,可以是Ⅰ类或Ⅱ类MHC分子。因此,其对于抗原的呈递具有特异性,不同的个体有不同的MHC,能呈递一种蛋白抗原中不同的短肽到各自的APC细胞表面。人类的MHC通常称为HLA基因或HLA复合体。MHC molecules are proteins of the immunoglobulin superfamily and can be class I or class II MHC molecules. Therefore, it is specific for antigen presentation, and different individuals have different MHCs, which can present different short peptides in a protein antigen to their respective APC cell surfaces. The human MHC is often referred to as the HLA gene or HLA complex.

T细胞受体(TCR),是呈递在主组织相容性复合体(MHC)上的特异性抗原肽的唯一受体。在免疫系统中,通过抗原特异性的TCR与pMHC复合物的结合引发T细胞与抗原呈递细胞(APC)直接的物理接触,然后T细胞及APC两者的其他细胞膜表面分子就发生相互作用,这就引起了一系列后续的细胞信号传递和其他生理反应,从而使得不同抗原特异性的T细胞对其靶细胞发挥免疫效应。The T cell receptor (TCR) is the only receptor for specific antigenic peptides presented on the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). In the immune system, direct physical contact between T cells and antigen-presenting cells (APCs) is triggered by the binding of antigen-specific TCRs to pMHC complexes, and then other cell membrane surface molecules of both T cells and APCs interact. It causes a series of subsequent cell signaling and other physiological responses, so that T cells with different antigen specificities exert immune effects on their target cells.

TCR是由α链/β链或者γ链/δ链以异质二聚体形式存在的细胞膜表面的糖蛋白。在95%的T细胞中TCR异质二聚体由α和β链组成,而5%的T细胞具有由γ和δ链组成的TCR。天然αβ异质二聚TCR具有α链和β链,α链和β链构成αβ异源二聚TCR的亚单位。广义上讲,α和β各链包含可变区、连接区和恒定区,β链通常还在可变区和连接区之间含有短的多变区,但该多变区常视作连接区的一部分。各可变区包含嵌合在框架结构(framework regions)中的3个CDR(互补决定区),CDR1、CDR2和CDR3。CDR区决定了TCR与pMHC复合物的结合,其中CDR3由可变区和连接区重组而成,被称为超变区。TCR的α和β链一般看作各有两个“结构域”即可变域和恒定域,可变域由连接的可变区和连接区构成。TCR恒定域的序列可以在国际免疫遗传学信息系统(IMGT)的公开数据库中找到,如TCR分子α链的恒定域序列为“TRAC*01”,TCR分子β链的恒定域序列为“TRBC1*01”或“TRBC2*01”。此外,TCR的α和β链还包含跨膜区和胞质区,胞质区很短。TCR is a glycoprotein on the surface of the cell membrane that exists in the form of heterodimers of α chain/β chain or γ chain/δ chain. TCR heterodimers consist of alpha and beta chains in 95% of T cells, whereas 5% of T cells have TCRs composed of gamma and delta chains. A native αβ heterodimeric TCR has an α chain and a β chain, and the α chain and the β chain constitute the subunits of the αβ heterodimeric TCR. Broadly speaking, the alpha and beta chains each contain a variable region, a linker region, and a constant region, and the beta chain usually also contains a short variable region between the variable region and the linker region, but the variable region is often regarded as the linker region a part of. Each variable region comprises 3 CDRs (complementarity determining regions), CDR1, CDR2 and CDR3, chimeric in framework regions. The CDR region determines the binding of TCR to the pMHC complex, and CDR3 is recombined from the variable region and the linker region, which is called the hypervariable region. The alpha and beta chains of a TCR are generally viewed as having two "domains" each, a variable domain and a constant domain, the variable domains being composed of linked variable and linking regions. The sequences of the TCR constant domains can be found in the public database of the International Information System for Immunogenetics (IMGT). 01" or "TRBC2*01". In addition, the α and β chains of TCR also contain a transmembrane region and a cytoplasmic region, and the cytoplasmic region is very short.

For the single-chain soluble TCR constructed in Example 4 of the present invention, the amino acid sequence of the α chain variable domain is SEQ ID NO: 32, and the encoded nucleotide sequence is SEQ ID NO: 33; the amino acid sequence of the β chain variable domain is SEQ ID NO: 33; is SEQ ID NO:34, and the encoded nucleotide sequence is SEQ ID NO:35.

另外,对于稳定性而言,专利文献201510260322.4还公开了在TCR的α链可变区与β链恒定区之间引入人工链间二硫键能够使TCR的稳定性显著提高。因此,本发明的高亲和力TCR的α链可变区与β链恒定区之间还可以含有人工链间二硫键。具体地,在所述TCR的α链可变区与β链恒定区之间形成人工链间二硫键的半胱氨酸残基取代了:TRAV的第46位氨基酸和TRBC1*01或TRBC2*01外显子1的第60位氨基酸;TRAV的第47位氨基酸和TRBC1*01或TRBC2*01外显子1的61位氨基酸;TRAV的第46位氨基酸和TRBC1*01或TRBC2*01外显子1的第61位氨基酸;或TRAV的第47位氨基酸和TRBC1*01或TRBC2*01外显子1的第60位氨基酸。优选地,这样的TCR可以包含(ⅰ)除其跨膜结构域以外的全部或部分TCRα链,和(ⅱ)除其跨膜结构域以外的全部或部分TCRβ链,其中(ⅰ)和(ⅱ)均包含TCR链的可变域和至少一部分恒定域,α链与β链形成异质二聚体。更优选地,这样的TCR可以包含α链可变域和β链可变域以及除跨膜结构域以外的全部或部分β链恒定域,但其不包含α链恒定域,所述TCR的α链可变域与β链形成异质二聚体。In addition, in terms of stability, Patent Document 201510260322.4 also discloses that the introduction of artificial interchain disulfide bonds between the α chain variable region and the β chain constant region of TCR can significantly improve the stability of TCR. Therefore, the high-affinity TCR of the present invention may also contain artificial interchain disulfide bonds between the variable region of the α chain and the constant region of the β chain. Specifically, the cysteine residue that forms an artificial interchain disulfide bond between the α chain variable region and the β chain constant region of the TCR is substituted for: amino acid 46 of TRAV and TRBC1*01 or TRBC2* 01 amino acid 60 of exon 1; TRAV amino acid 47 and TRBC1*01 or TRBC2*01 exon 1 amino acid 61; TRAV 46 amino acid and TRBC1*01 or TRBC2*01 exon Amino acid 61 of exon 1; or amino acid 47 of TRAV and amino acid 60 of exon 1 of TRBC1*01 or TRBC2*01. Preferably, such a TCR may comprise (i) all or part of the TCR alpha chain excluding its transmembrane domain, and (ii) all or part of the TCR beta chain excluding its transmembrane domain, wherein (i) and (ii) ) both contain the variable domain and at least a part of the constant domain of the TCR chain, and the α chain and the β chain form a heterodimer. More preferably, such a TCR may contain an alpha chain variable domain and a beta chain variable domain and all or part of the beta chain constant domain except the transmembrane domain, but it does not contain the alpha chain constant domain, the alpha chain of the TCR. The chain variable domains form heterodimers with beta chains.

The multivalent TCR complexes of the present invention comprise two, three, four or more multimers formed by combining the TCRs of the present invention, for example, the tetramerization domain of p53 can be used to generate tetramers, or multiple A complex formed by combining a TCR of the present invention with another molecule. The TCR complexes of the present invention can be used to track or target cells presenting specific antigens in vitro or in vivo, as well as to generate intermediates for other multivalent TCR complexes with such applications.

Prodrug-activating enzymes (eg, DT-cardiac enzyme (DTD) or biphenyl hydrolase-like protein (BPHL)); 11. chemotherapeutic agents (eg, cisplatin) or nanoparticles in any form, etc.

另外,本发明的TCR还可以是包含衍生自超过一种物种序列的杂合TCR。例如,有研究显示鼠科TCR在人T细胞中比人TCR能够更有效地表达。因此,本发明TCR可包含人可变域和鼠的恒定域。这一方法的缺陷是可能引发免疫应答。因此,在其用于过继性T细胞治疗时应当有调节方案来进行免疫抑制,以允许表达鼠科的T细胞的植入。Additionally, the TCRs of the present invention may also be hybrid TCRs comprising sequences derived from more than one species. For example, studies have shown that murine TCRs are more efficiently expressed in human T cells than human TCRs. Thus, the TCRs of the present invention may comprise human variable domains and murine constant domains. The downside of this approach is the potential to elicit an immune response. Therefore, there should be a regulatory regime for immunosuppression when it is used in adoptive T cell therapy to allow engraftment of murine expressing T cells.

应理解,由于遗传密码的简并,不同的核苷酸序列可以编码相同的多肽。因此,编码本发明TCR的核酸序列可以与本发明附图中所示的核酸序列相同或是简并的变异体。以本发明中的其中一个例子来说明,“简并的变异体”是指编码具有SEQ ID NO:1的蛋白序列,但与SEQ ID NO:2的序列有差别的核酸序列。It will be appreciated that due to the degeneracy of the genetic code, different nucleotide sequences can encode the same polypeptide. Accordingly, the nucleic acid sequences encoding the TCRs of the present invention may be identical or degenerate variants of the nucleic acid sequences shown in the figures of the present invention. To illustrate with one of the examples in the present invention, "degenerate variant" refers to a nucleic acid sequence that encodes a protein sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, but differs from the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2.

核苷酸序列可以是经密码子优化的。不同的细胞在具体密码子的利用上是不同的,可以根据细胞的类型,改变序列中的密码子来增加表达量。哺乳动物细胞以及多种其他生物的密码子选择表是本领域技术人员公知的。The nucleotide sequence may be codon-optimized. Different cells differ in the use of specific codons. Depending on the type of cell, the codons in the sequence can be changed to increase the amount of expression.

At present, the DNA sequences encoding the TCRs of the present invention (or fragments thereof, or derivatives thereof) can be obtained entirely by chemical synthesis. This DNA sequence can then be introduced into various existing DNA molecules (or eg vectors) and cells known in the art. DNA can be the coding or non-coding strand.

载体carrier

本发明还涉及包含本发明的核酸分子的载体,包括表达载体,即能够在体内或体外表达的构建体。常用的载体包括细菌质粒、噬菌体和动植物病毒。The present invention also relates to vectors comprising the nucleic acid molecules of the present invention, including expression vectors, ie constructs capable of in vivo or in vitro expression. Commonly used vectors include bacterial plasmids, bacteriophages, and animal and plant viruses.

优选地,载体可以将本发明的核苷酸转移至细胞中,例如T细胞中,使得该细胞表达NY-ESO-1抗原特异性的TCR。理想的情况下,该载体应当能够在T细胞中持续高水平地表达。Preferably, the vector can transfer the nucleotides of the invention into cells, such as T cells, such that the cells express a TCR specific for the NY-ESO-1 antigen. Ideally, the vector should be able to express consistently high levels in T cells.

细胞cell

The host cell contains the vector of the present invention or the nucleic acid molecule of the present invention is integrated into the chromosome. The host cell is selected from: prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells, such as E. coli, yeast cells, CHO cells, and the like.

另外,本发明还包括表达本发明的TCR的分离的细胞,特别是T细胞。该T细胞可衍生自从受试者分离的T细胞,或者可以是从受试者中分离的混合细胞群,诸如外周血淋巴细胞(PBL)群的一部分。如,该细胞可以分离自外周血单核细胞(PBMC),可以是CD4+辅助T细胞或CD8+细胞毒性T细胞。该细胞可在CD4+辅助T细胞/CD8+细胞毒性T细胞的混合群中。一般地,该细胞可以用抗体(如,抗-CD3或抗-CD28的抗体)活化,以便使它们能够更容易接受转染,例如用包含编码本发明TCR分子的核苷酸序列的载体进行转染。In addition, the present invention also includes isolated cells, in particular T cells, expressing the TCRs of the present invention.

The cells can be in a mixed population of CD4 + helper T cells/CD8 + cytotoxic T cells. Typically, the cells can be activated with antibodies (eg, anti-CD3 or anti-CD28 antibodies) to render them more receptive to transfection, eg, with a vector comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding a TCR molecule of the invention dye.

备选地,本发明的细胞还可以是或衍生自干细胞,如造血干细胞(HSC)。将基因转移至HSC不会导致在细胞表面表达TCR,因为干细胞表面不表达CD3分子。然而,当干细胞分化为迁移至胸腺的淋巴前体(lymphoid precursor)时,CD3分子的表达将启动在胸腺细胞的表面表达该引入的TCR分子。Alternatively, the cells of the invention may also be or derived from stem cells, such as hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Gene transfer to HSCs does not result in TCR expression on the cell surface because the CD3 molecule is not expressed on the surface of stem cells. However, when stem cells differentiate into lymphoid precursors that migrate to the thymus, expression of the CD3 molecule will initiate expression of the introduced TCR molecule on the surface of the thymocytes.

有许多方法适合于用编码本发明TCR的DNA或RNA进行T细胞转染(如,Robbins等.,(2008)J.Immunol.180:6116-6131)。表达本发明TCR的T细胞可以用于过继免疫治疗。本领域技术人员能够知晓进行过继性治疗的许多合适方法(如,Rosenberg等.,(2008)Nat RevCancer8(4):299-308)。There are a number of methods suitable for transfection of T cells with DNA or RNA encoding the TCRs of the invention (eg, Robbins et al., (2008) J. Immunol. 180:6116-6131). T cells expressing the TCR of the present invention can be used for adoptive immunotherapy.
