In recent years, cellular immunotherapy has shown great potential in cancer treatment, and is considered to be the most promising method for overcoming cancer, and among them, T cell-based immunotherapy technology has received extensive attention and is the current research hotspot. To overcome the limitations of the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC), researchers have studied the mechanism of activating differentiation of T cells, attempting to genetically modify them to obtain T cells with enhanced antitumor activity.

Comparative example 1
Compared with example 2, the T cell of comparative example 1 is directly transformed into CRISPR/Cas9 plasmid without activation of anti-human CD3 antibody and anti-human CD28 antibody, and other conditions are the same as example 2.
Comparative example 2
In contrast to example 2, comparative example 2 did not electroporate the CRISPR/Cas9 plasmid into activated T cells as a blank, with the other conditions being the same as in example 2.
Proportion of NK-like cells
The ratio of INTK cells (expressing both the T cell marker CD3 and the NK cell markers NKp46 and NKp30) prepared in the different examples and comparative examples was examined by flow cytometry.
As shown in FIG. 1, the ratio of NK-like cells prepared in examples 2 to 8 was significantly higher than that of comparative examples 1 to 2, and comparative example 1 did not activate T cells, and thus the electroporation efficiency was low and the ratio of NK-like cells was low.
In different examples, the cell survival rates and the NK-like cell ratios of examples 2-5 and 8 are higher than those of examples 6-7, because the activated T cells are directly transformed by electricity in example 6, the number of the activated T cells is low, the transformation efficiency is affected, and the transformed cells are not cultured in the medium containing the cytokine composition in example 7, so that the cells cannot recover from the transformed cells in time, and a certain degree of cell death is caused.
Killing of NK-like cells and the ability to secrete IFN γ
The NK-like cells of examples 2 to 8 and comparative examples 1 to 2 were mixed with 5X 10 cells, respectively3Co-culturing a human myeloid leukemia cell line KG1 in a U-shaped 96-well plate, wherein the ratio (E: T) of effector cells to target cells is 4:1, and each group of experiments is repeated for 3 times;
after 18 hours of co-culture, 100. mu.L/well Luciferase substrate (1X) was added to a 96-well plate, the cells were resuspended and mixed, RLU (relative light unit) was immediately measured by a multifunctional microplate reader for 1 second, and the killing effect of NK samples of different examples and comparative examples on KG1 was compared in vitro by the Luciferase (Luciferase) quantitative killing efficiency evaluation method, and the killing ratio calculation formula was as follows:
100% × (control well reading-experimental well reading)/control well reading (blank reading without cells negligible)
As shown in FIG. 2, the in vitro killing efficiency of NK-like cells prepared in example was higher than that of NK-like cells prepared in comparative example, wherein the in vitro killing efficiency of NK-like cells prepared in example 3 and example 4 was the highest, and it is noted that example 8, although high purity NK-like cells were obtained, the killing performance was decreased due to excessive activation by IL-12, IL-15 and IL-18; comparative examples 1-2 influence the killing efficiency of NK-like cells due to unreasonable conditions.
And detecting the co-culture supernatant of the effector cells and the target cells by adopting an IFN-gamma ELISA detection kit.
As shown in FIG. 3, the results of co-culturing the NK-like cells of the example with KG1 revealed that IFN-. gamma.was secreted in a larger amount than the comparative example, and the results were consistent with the killing effect.
In conclusion, the CRISPR/Cas9 plasmid targeting the Bcl11b gene is introduced into the activated T cell by adopting an electrical transformation method, and electrical transformation conditions are reasonably set, so that a gene editing system is transferred into the primary T cell to carry out efficient gene editing, the cytotoxicity is obviously reduced, and the NK-like cell with the killing effect is prepared by matching with reasonable culture amplification conditions.
