Description

Novel antigenic peptide aiming at CLDN18-ARHGAP fusion mutation and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of targeted drugs and immunotherapy, in particular to a novel antigenic peptide aiming at CLDN18-ARHGAP fusion mutation and application thereof.
Background
Signet Ring Cell Carcinoma (SRCC) is a diffuse type of gastric cancer with high malignancy, accounting for about 17% of all types of gastric cancer. The gastric SRCC focus grows in a diffuse infiltration manner, is easy to rapidly generate abdominal cavity transfer, is not sensitive to chemotherapy, is not a population with the advantages of the existing targeted drugs, and has extremely poor prognosis. Finding an effective treatment method for the subtype gastric cancer has urgent clinical requirements.
The rapid development and breakthrough of tumor immunotherapy have been achieved in recent years, and the key to the success of immunotherapy is whether the specific immune response of targeted tumor cells can be activated. More and more researches show that the tumor neoantigen (neoantigen) is the key point for inducing the specific response, and the neoantigen reactive T cells (NRT cells) are the cornerstone for obtaining clinical response of a plurality of immunotherapy strategies including immune checkpoint inhibitors, engineered immune cells, tumor vaccines and the like. Through high-throughput sequencing and big data analysis and by utilizing bioinformatics, specific new antigens generated by cancer cell gene mutation are screened out, NRT cells are sorted and amplified and returned to patients for carrying out accurate biological immunotherapy, and the method is a new generation of immunotherapy strategy.
However, both the currently reported treatments for NRT and the clinical trials for NRT performed by the research team in the hands of the Applicant have focused on new antigens generated by point mutations in the genes. In our earlier work we found: the load of point mutation of gastric SRCC patients is low, hot point mutation is absent, partial new antigens corresponding to the point mutation have weak immunogenicity, and NRT cell therapy of the targeted point mutation new antigens is difficult to be successfully applied to the treatment of gastric SRCC.
In recent years, with the development of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS), TCGA has completed deep analysis of multiple tumor molecular phenotypes, which lays a foundation for accurate treatment of tumors. The 2014 Nature journal reports the research result of the TCGA plan on the gastric cancer, and based on the second generation sequencing results of 295 cases of primary gastric adenocarcinoma tissues, the genome variation situation is comprehensively analyzed, the gastric cancer is divided into four subtypes, and most of gastric signet ring cell cancers belong to Genome Stable (GS). The histological phenotype of the GS type gastric cancer is mainly diffuse type, the incidence rate of CDH1 (37%), RHOA (15%) and CLDN18-ARHGAP fusion mutation (15%) on the molecular phenotype is high, and the GS type gastric cancer lacks effective response to the existing targeted drugs. Based on the specific molecular characteristics of GS-type gastric cancer, several drugs are currently under development, such as targeting CDH1 and RHOA mutation-associated pathways.
The CLDN18-ARHGAP fusion mutation plays a driving role in the early generation and late development processes of the gastric cancer, the epithelial phenotype of the tumor cells with the CLDN18-ARHGAP fusion mutation is lost, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) occurs, the cells are cancerated, the intercellular adhesion and the cell-extracellular matrix adhesion are reduced, and the tumor cell invasion is easy to occur. Furthermore, patients with gastric SRCC who have a CLDN18-ARHGAP fusion mutation do not benefit from treatment with oxaliplatin/fluorouracil chemotherapeutic drugs and have a poorer prognosis. However, therapeutic strategies against CLDN18-ARHGAP fusion mutations in gastric cancer remain open.
Recent studies have shown that: fusion mutations can also produce novel antigens that are more immunogenic than traditional point mutations. The fusion gene is a chimeric gene formed by connecting the coding regions of two or more genes end to end, and the chimeric amino acid sequences at the two ends of the fusion site have the potential of generating new antigens and have better immunogenicity. The fusion mutation proportion of CLDN18-ARHGAP in gastric SRCC reaches 17 percent, and the fusion mutation proportion is a potential ideal target point for NRT cell treatment. Thus, for gastric SRCC containing CLDN18-ARHGAP fusion mutation, which lacks therapeutic means and has a poor prognosis, treatment of NRT cells with CLDN18-ARHGAP fusion mutation may be a potentially effective therapy.

And (3) analyzing an experimental result:
prediction of fusion mutant neoantigens by CLDN18(e5) -ARHGAP26(e12)
Prediction of results by netmhcpana 4.0 software positive interpretation of the two above predictions: IC50<500nM or% Rank <2.0 is considered capable of binding to HLA molecules; IC50<50nM or% Rank <0.5 is considered to be capable of strongly binding to HLA molecules. However, the prediction accuracy of NetMHCpan4.0 is limited, so that the method is not limited to selecting a peptide sequence with the% Rank prediction result of <2.0 for synthesis, but expands the standard and selects a peptide sequence with smaller% Rank score for synthesis. The table shows 10 synthetic short peptide sequences and 1 long peptide sequence. Wherein CLDN18(e5) -ARHGAP26(e12) related peptide P1-4, L1; CLDN 18-related peptide P5-7; ARHGAP26 related peptide P8-10.
2. PBMC activation was induced in vitro with P1-10 and L1, respectively, and IFN-. gamma.secretion levels in the supernatant were measured by ELISPOT, and patient T cell reactivity to each antigenic peptide was compared, as a result: the level of IFN-gamma secreted by PBMC can be improved by more than 3 times compared with a negative control group by fusing neoantigen peptides P1, P4 and L1 and CLDN 18-related peptide P6.
3. Dendritic Cells (DC) are used for loading the antigen peptide P1, after activated T cells are stimulated, the IFN-gamma secretion level in the supernatant is detected through ELISPOT, and the result shows that the fused new antigen peptide P1 can stimulate PBMC to secrete the IFN-gamma level which is improved by more than 60 times compared with a negative control group; the CD137 of the CD8+ T cells is 5 times higher than that of a control group after being stimulated by P1 through flow cytometry detection, which indicates that P1 can obviously activate the T cells and induce P1 specific NRT cells.
4. The efficient target cell killing experiment shows that P1 specific NRT cells can obviously increase the killing capacity of T cells to tumors.
Therefore, the CLDN18(e5) -ARHGAP26(e12) fusion mutation related peptide P1(RTEDEVYNSNK) has better immunogenicity, and the induced NRT cells have strong targeted killing capability, and can be used for the NRT cell immunotherapy of patients with CLDN18(e5) -ARHGAP26(e12) fusion mutation. Can be used for preparing vaccines and engineered T cells.
