Description

Construction method of MRFFT2 cell
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of biology, and particularly relates to a construction method of MRFFT2 cells.
Background
Currently, the existing LAK, DC, CIK, DC-CIK cells and methods have proven largely ineffective in the specific immunotherapy of tumors, while NK, CAR-NK, TIL, etc. cell technologies remain to be mature and CAR-T cells have drawbacks in safety and solid tumor therapy. The prior art generally produces specific killing by DC presenting T cells by engineering the DC cells. Some laboratories have attempted to transfect presenting T cells using viruses as vectors to induce specific killing of T cells. We have also used mutant mixed polypeptides to directly stimulate PBMCs and induce T cells. There are also laboratories that use TCR-T technology for targeted presentation of MAGE a3 antigen.
The above treatment methods are not mature, and especially, the technologies for inducing DC cells in vitro and loading tumor antigens on DC cells are more researched theoretically, but there are many problems in the specific implementation process, and clear molecules related to signal transduction pathways critical for the development of tumor cells are not used as the induced antigens, so that the realization of specific cell-targeted immunotherapy is difficult to implement smoothly because the tumor antigens are not clear and the immune suppression of tumor microenvironment is hindered. In addition, some antigen-specific cells are not co-cultured and expanded in vitro, and thus a thin specific cell is directly exposed to a complex tumor immune microenvironment, even though the antigen is subjected to in vitro impact, and thus it is difficult to achieve a desired effect. Although some can also be presented and co-cultured in vitro, the target is single (MAGE-3), and only acts on individual cancer species such as non-small cell lung cancer. Although methods that are slow-toxic to vectors have been attempted for transfection presentation, they are not as safe and convenient as polypeptides. While direct stimulation by simply mixing polypeptides is simple and convenient, it is inefficient. Secondary stimulation of the anisotropically precise polypeptide is not as direct as tumor-specific antigens transduced by T cell receptors. Existing TCR-ts lack an accurate TCR covering more tumor species in solutions for treating hematological and solid tumors.
None of the above schemes consider the self-protection technology of T cells, so that a small number of specific T cells directly face a strong tumor immune microenvironment.

the horizontal line is the replaced CDR3 sequence
7. Detection of the original TCR knockdown efficiency
The original TCR on PBMC was knocked out using CRISPR technique, and the results are shown in figure 6: the expression of the original TCR can be effectively reduced, at which point transfection of the lentivirus expressing the specific TCR can be performed.
8. Detection of specific TCR expression
PBMCs were transfected with lentiviruses packaging specific TCRs, and the efficiency of TCR expression was measured by flow at day 7, with the results shown in figure 7: the constructed TCR can be normally expressed, and the cell proportion of the TCR + is 25.1 percent
9. Blockade of immunosuppressive signals
When 150. mu.g/mL of fluorescently labeled monoclonal antibody Keytruda was added to the PBS buffer system, the binding was as shown in FIG. 8, and 90% of the cells were effectively blocked.
10. Killing effect of MRFFT2 cell on target cell
The control cells and the MRFFT2 cells were used to detect the killing efficiency of the target cells from the mutant epitope, the effective-to-target ratio was set to 40:1, and the untreated cells were used as the control (Mock), and the results are shown in fig. 9, in which the MRFFT2 cells had stronger killing effect on the target cells than the control group.
11. Detection of cytokine release by MRFFT2 cells
When tumor cells and effector cells are co-cultured, because the effector cells can recognize mutant antigens on the tumor cells, a series of cytokines can be generated, IFN-gamma is one of the most main cytokines in the anti-tumor effect, FIG. 10 shows that when MRFFT2 cells and tumor cells are co-cultured, the cell ratio is 1:1, the released IFN-gamma is detected, and the result shows that: MRFFT2 cells produced a larger amount of IFN-. gamma.after co-culture with tumor cells than IFN-. gamma.produced by effector cells themselves (T cells only), consistent with the results of the killing experiments, suggesting that: the T cells expressing specific TCR, combined with the knockout of inhibitory targets, can more effectively improve the anti-tumor capacity.
12. Construction of specific antigen expression target cell and tumor model survival experiment
The specific antigen expression tumor target cell line is successfully constructed, a tumor-bearing animal model is established, and the result shows that (figure 11) MRFFT2 cells have a significant influence on the survival improvement of tumor-bearing mice.
