Description

Construction method of HAFFT1 cell
The technical field is as follows:
the invention belongs to the technical field of biology, and particularly relates to a construction method of HAFFT1 cells.
Background art:
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 of them have not performed in vitro co-culture and in vitro amplification despite the in vitro antigen-impact, and have difficulty in achieving desired effects because a thin specific cell directly faces a complicated tumor microenvironment. 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 use lentiviruses as vectors have been attempted for transfection delivery, they are not as safe and convenient as polypeptides. While direct stimulation by simply mixing polypeptides is simple and convenient, it is inefficient. The secondary stimulation of specific precision polypeptides 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-defense technology of T cells, so that a small number of specific T cells directly face a strong tumor microenvironment.
The invention content is as follows:
in order to solve the technical problems, the invention provides a construction method of HAFFT1 cells, which comprises the steps of modifying cells stimulated by small molecule modified polypeptide by a TCR-T technology, knocking out an immunosuppressive target of the modified T cells, accurately protecting specific killer T cells from in vivo inhibition, and improving the killing power of the T cells to tumor cells.

10. Detection of the original TCR knockdown efficiency
The original TCR was knocked out using CRISPR technology, and the results are shown in figure 8: the expression of the original TCR can be effectively reduced, and at the moment, the transfection of expression specificity TCR slow virus can be carried out;
11. detection of specific TCR expression
CD8+ T cells were transfected with lentivirus packaging specific TCRs, and the efficiency of TCR expression was assayed by flow at day 7, with the results shown in figure 9: the constructed TCR was normally expressed with a cellular proportion of TCR + of 88.4%.
Killing of target cells by HAFFT cells
The killing efficiency of HAFF ' cells, HAFFT cells and HAFFT1 cells on target cells from mutant epitopes is detected, the effective target ratio is set to be 40:1, untreated cells are used as a control (Mock), and the result is shown in FIG. 10, compared with the control group, the HAFF ' cells, the HAFFT cells and the HAFFT1 cells all have certain killing effect on the target cells, and the killing efficiency on tumors is HAFFT1> HAFFT cells > HAFF ' cells; the T cells expressing the specific TCR are shown, and the killing efficiency of the T cells on tumor cells can be effectively improved by knocking out the inhibitory target;
detection of cytokine release by HAFFT1 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. 11 shows that the detection of IFN-gamma released when the cells are co-cultured with the tumor cells in different culture modes shows that: compared with IFN-gamma produced by effector cells (T cells) and effector cells (MOCK) without any modification, HAFF' scheme cells, HAFFT scheme cells and HAFFT1 cells can produce a large amount of IFN-gamma after being co-cultured with tumor cells, particularly HAFFT and HAFFT1 cells, and because specific TCR (HAFFT) is expressed and inhibitory signals are knocked out (HAFFT1), the effector cells can release more IFN-gamma, and the result is consistent with the result of killing experiments and indicates that: the T cells expressing specific TCR can effectively improve the anti-tumor capacity by combining the blocking of inhibitory targets;
14. construction of specific antigen expression target cell and tumor model survival experiment
