The fusion of site-specific integration is to K562 feeder cells
Using established Zinc finger nuclease (BV-ZFN) (Tay, Tan et al.2013), two plasmid construction techniques:
One coding ZFN, targeting and cracking AAVS1 transposons (pFastBac-ZFN) and other it is used containing CMV promoter to drive
The host mbil15,4-1BBL and mbil21 and neomycin gene of the expression of fusion coding.It is specifically shown in Fig. 1.In figure,
The fusion of site-specific integration is to K562 cell.The building of pFastBac- fusion host, AAVS1 is extremely
The AAVS1 of PPP1R12C gene, shearing site BV-ZFN, and modification is after homologous recombination.E1, E2 and E3: first three
The exon of PPP1R12C gene.Arrow indicates that the front PCR and reverse starting (FP and RP) combine the 2.4kb piece formed
The AAVS1 of 3 ' modifications of section.
This expression cassette is by the left homology arm flank of 810-bp and the right homology arm of a 837-bp about described
AAVS1 transposons (pFastBac-mbIL21- host) (Fig. 1).Two kinds of plasmids are realized that site is special by electroporation by K562 cell
Specific integration.After electroporation, K562 cell is subjected to G418 selection, after 5 days, carries out unicellular sorting.It is slender from G418 patience
The genome of born of the same parents clone extracts DNA, and is present in the pFastBac- by using the neomycin for being specific to No. 19 chromosomes

Stable protein expression, the clone carries out flow cytometry analysis.One is cloned the high-level table for showing protein
Up to the feeder cells for being chosen to be the amplification of NK cell.It is specifically shown in Fig. 2.
Freeze the amplification of rear NK cell
Freezing to cell nocuousness, such as cell viability, the decline of cytotoxicity, NK cell receptor table for NK cell is known
The reduction reached.In order to overcome this problem, we have developed a kind of scheme, by the NK cell of fresh separated and we obtain
K562 cell is 7 days short with the ratio culture of 1:2, the cell that amplification obtains then is frozen, then with the ratio of 1:1 after recovery
It is co-cultured with K562 cell.Then NK cell is stimulated again with K562 feeder cells every 7 days, the amplification of NK cell is up to 3
Month.It was found that this method can overcome the problems, such as that cell viability caused by freezen protective declines.As shown in figure 3, freezing is protected
The NK cell deposited can be proliferated at least 35 days after recovery.It being shown in figure, average total amplification times of NK cell are 78,880,
152, range is at 280,354 to 226,456,888 times.Every a line represents a PBMC patient (n=3).NK cell is used
It is to freeze after -80 DEG C 7 days before 1:2 that K562mbil15-41BBL-mbil21 feeder cells, which expand PBMC:K562 ratio,.Freeze
The NK cell deposited is recovered after a week, is expanded again after being stimulated with K562.
For the optimal culture condition for determining NK cell Proliferation, PBMC to K562-mbIL15-41BBL-mbIL21 is evaluated respectively
The difference of ratio, 1:2,1:1.5 and 1:1.It observes, may cause the amplification times of NK cell in the reduction of dispensing initial p BMC stimulation
Several reductions, the ratio that PBMC:K562 is 1:2 generate highest NK cells expanded.The increase of ratio will also keep higher
NK cell purity, in PBMC:K562 be 1:2 can reach after 21 days (Fig. 4) of culture 94.9 ± 2.8% highest purity.
Experimental example
1, the Phenotypic examination experiment of the NK cell expanded
One extensive array of NK cell adhesion molecule and receptor that amplification obtains is tested.Most of high expression
Receptor and adhesion molecule, there is a few exceptions-activated receptor, NKp44 and an Inhibitory receptor, surface C D158a, h, CD158i and
CD158e1/e2 (Fig. 5).
The expression of adhesion molecule is also compared after 7 days NK cell recoveries of culture simultaneously and with K562-mbIL15-
41BBL-mbIL21 stimulates the expression of adhesion molecule and receptor after 1 week again.Inhibitory receptor, surface C D158a, h and
CD158e1/e2's and activated receptor, the surface expression of NKG2D and NKp44 dramatically increase.Surface markers as the result is shown
The expression of CD16 can be lowered because of the freezen protective of NK cell (Sakamoto, Ishikawa et al.2015).With these results
Consistent, there is significant decline (up to 86%) in the expression of the surface markers CD16 of NK cell after freezing and recovering.
But, this problem is improved after stimulating 1 week again using K562-mbIL15-41BBL-mbIL21.CD16 surface expression is aobvious
Show and increases to average 90.6 ± 1.8%.
2, the lethal test of NK cells on cancer cells expanded
The NK cell of amplification can directly kill the K562 Leukaemia of NK sensitivity, average 16.1%, and (range is from 0.9%
To 31.2%), 69.8% (range from 58.5% to 98.9%) and 86.3% (from 74.9% to 98.7%) imitate target ratio with 1
Respectively 1:1,5:1 and 10:1 (Fig. 6).Wherein NK cell and K562 cell are co-cultured 2 small with the ratio of 1:1,5:1 and 10:1
When.Every a line represents a PBMC healthy volunteer (n=6).But Raji lymphoma cell is less sensitive to NK cell.It is logical
The ADCC function using these NK cells is crossed, can obviously be observed to Raji in the presence of antibody CD20-hIgG1 (Fig. 7)
The cytotoxicity of cell.Therefore, the ADCC function of the NK cell expanded can be significantly expanded the spectrum of the killing to malignant cell.
Their killing activities to cancer cell are can be improved into immunocyte Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR).After freezen protective
The cancer cell killing-efficiency for further increasing the NK cell of amplification redirects whether NK cell shows by test anti-EpCAM CAR-
Show the positive colorectal cancer of anti-EpCAM and the cytotoxicity of breast cancer cell.It, will after electroporation encodes the mRNA of anti-EpCAM
The NK cell and pCRC7 Human Large Intestine Carcinoma Cells (Fig. 8) and MCF-7 breast cancer cell (Fig. 9) of modification co-culture.Fig. 8, EpCAM in 9
For the initial NK cell of specific C AR modification;CAR is the initial NK cell of control modification;Wt is initial NK cell.
Obtain following result: anti-EpCAM CARNK cell shows strong cellular cytoxicity activity, and can be in E:T ratio 10:1
When 100% kill tumour cell, this more unmodified initial NK cell and mGFP CAR modification control NK cell have more
Effective killing activity.
In view of the foregoing it is apparent that adoptive NK cell therapy is a kind of effective cancer treatment method, it is shown that high
Antitumor potentiality, while with the risk of extremely low graft versus host disease(GVH disease) (GVHD) in clinical test.However, obtaining enough
The NK cell of quantity be used to the adopt difficulty of transplanting is one of NK cell therapy limitation.The amplification in vitro of NK cell is usually and multiple
Miscellaneous scheme and expensive cost are associated.The K562-mbIL15- developed by using the integration technology of site-specific genetic
41BBL-mbIL21 cell line, by realizing high NK cell amplification efficiency with high NK cell activity, purity and cytotoxicity
To improve NK amplification scheme.The gene of the retroviral vector of random integration coding NK stimulation molecule dye K562 cell is used to produce
Raw genetically modified K562 cell, the expression that this may cause stimulation molecule is different, therefore this will be challenging
Duplication cell line may express transgenic identical expression.By overcoming the integration by site-specific genetic
Problem introduces AAVS1 transposons.AAVS1 is located at protein phosphatase 1, adjusts (inhibitor) subunit 12C (PPP1R12C) gene
Within No. 19 chromosomes (19q13.3-qter) of people.This site is used as specific integration locus AAV serotype 2 (AAV2)
Non-pathogenic human parvovirus.AAVS1 has transcriptional capability, including an open chromatin Structure and includes natural insulation
Body makes the gene integration resistance to transgene silencing.Due to there is the transgenosis box from PPP1R12C gene and insertion point
Transcriptional capability destruction caused by be maintained at different types of cell, AAVS1 quilt without known adverse effect on cell
It is considered that one " safe port " is addition transgenosis into human genome.
The NK cell of amplification has better efficiency after being frozen preservation, and has improvement in subsequent amplification procedure
NK cell function.
Currently, due to freezing the influence expressed CD16, the NK cell recovered immediately cannot be used for ADCC antineoplaston.
This therapy will become feasible by being stimulated again with K562-mbIL15-41BBL-mbIl21.NK cytotherapeutic treatment is white at present
Blood disease is more successful compared with solid tumor.This is because the display inhibit signal with the solid tumor microenvironment of the lethal effect of NK cell because
The influence of element.Therefore, the NK cell that there is the NK cell of the gene modification of CAR targeting solid tumor to have drug resistance opens wider
A possibility that general NK cell therapy various cancer types.Therefore, it recovers after the NK cell frozen, anti-EpCAM CAR- is redirected
NK cell can effectively kill EpCAM positive colorectal cancer and breast cancer cell.
