Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of bioengineering, and particularly relates to a microRNA for efficiently knocking down PD1 gene expression and construction of a chimeric antigen receptor-T/NK cell thereof.
Background
CAR-T/NK therapy is a chimeric antigen receptor-based cellular immunotherapy regimen. By in vitro gene transfer techniques, a gene sequence encoding a Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) is transferred into T/NK cells, generating tumor-specific T/NK cells that can bind to a target antigen. In recent years, CART cell immunotherapy has shown great potential in preclinical and clinical trials of hematological tumors, but the efficacy of CART cells in the treatment of solid tumors has been unsatisfactory due to the inhibition of immune checkpoints in the tumor microenvironment.
PD-1 (programmed death receptor) is a protein molecule expressed on the surface of T cells, and can inhibit the transcription of a downstream NF-kB gene and the secretion of interferon-gamma when PD-1 is combined with a ligand PD-L1 or PD-L2 thereof, thereby inhibiting the killing activity of the T cells. Among them, the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway has been proved to be related to T cell exhaustion, which leads to the problems of CART cell function reduction, tumor clearance capacity impairment and the like. The PD-1 antibody or the PD-L1 antibody is adopted to block the combination of PD-1, PD-L1 and PD-L2, so that the tumor killing activity of the T cell is not inhibited, and the tumor killing effect of the T cell is improved.
In order to solve the problems, the invention patent 201711196439.6 discloses a PD1 knockout CD 20-targeted chimeric antigen receptor T cell and a preparation method and application thereof, wherein CRISPR/Cas9 knockout CART cell PD-1 is adopted, although the method shows a high-efficiency anti-tumor effect, the research shows that the unexpected deletion of a programmed cell death factor 1 gene (PDCD1) in an initial CD8+ T cell can increase the exhaustion of the cell and damage the viability and the function of the cell, and the gene knockout can generate unexpected damage and influence on other genes.
RNA interference (RNAi) refers to a phenomenon of highly conserved during evolution, induced by double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), that mediates post-transcriptional gene silencing by inhibiting mRNA translation or by highly specific degradation of mRNA. The process of dsRNA-mediated gene silencing typically requires three steps to be performed. Firstly, dsRNA enters cells, is combined with enzyme protein Dicer and is cut into small segments with the length of 21-23nt by the Dicer, and the small segments are called siRNA; then the siRNA is combined with some enzymes (including endonuclease, exonuclease, helicase and the like) in vivo to form an RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC); finally, the activated RISC binds to the target mRNA under the direction of the antisense strand, mediating post-transcriptional gene silencing by inhibiting translation or degradation of mRNA. Gene silencing is therefore a molecular mechanism that reduces the expression of a target gene, and unlike gene knock-outs that eliminate the expression of the entire target gene, only reduces the expression of the target gene by at least 70%. Compared with the traditional gene knockout means, the RNAi technology has the advantages of high speed, high efficiency, strong specificity, simple operation and the like, has become a tool for revealing gene functions in different species in recent years, and is widely applied to plants, nematodes, fruit flies and mammals. We therefore hypothesized that if the means of siRNA were used to reduce PD-1 expression in CART cells, T/NK cells could not only evade inhibitory signals in the tumor microenvironment, but also avoid the damage and risk of off-target associated with a complete knock-out of the PD1 gene.

It is another object of the invention to provide a chimeric antigen receptor-T/NK cell, the Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) -encoding structure comprising a first signal, a second signal, and a third signal; the first signal is an antigen binding domain, the second signal is a transmembrane domain and an intracellular transduction domain, the third signal is the microRNA of claim 1, and the microRNA is inserted into the EF1 alpha promoter. Thus, the nucleotide sequence encoding the microRNA is positioned at the downstream of the promoter of the lentiviral vector EF1 alpha, and the transport and the processing of the endogenous microRNA of the host cell are interfered, so that the packaging titer of the lentiviral vector is remarkably reduced.
The other purpose of the invention is to provide a construction method of the chimeric antigen receptor-T/NK cell, wherein the recombinant lentivirus is transfected into positive T/NK lymphocytes, and the cells are harvested after culture, so that the chimeric antigen receptor-T/NK cell capable of knocking down the expression of endogenous PD-1 is prepared.
Further, the positive T lymphocyte is obtained by separating from human source peripheral blood mononuclear cells.

(3) Construction of chimeric antigen receptor T cell for knocking down PD1 expression quantity
S1: isolation of PBMC (peripheral blood mononuclear cells)
Taking 10ml of peripheral blood of a healthy person to an EDTA-Na2 anticoagulation tube, and uniformly mixing the anticoagulation tube with DPBS according to the ratio of 1: 1; taking four 15ml sterile centrifuge tubes, respectively adding 5ml Ficoll separating medium, slowly adding the mixture of peripheral blood and DPBS onto the surface of the Ficoll separating medium, taking care not to damage the liquid surface, horizontally centrifuging at 800g for 20min, 25 ℃, adjusting the speed of acceleration and deceleration to 0, sucking out the white flocculent layer (PBMC layer) in the centrifuge tube by a Pasteur pipette after centrifugation, placing in a new sterile centrifuge tube, adding PBS, centrifuging and washing the PBMC twice, centrifuging at 1500rpm/min for 5min, discarding the supernatant, adding 1ml Buffer1(DPBS contains 5% FBS), counting and re-suspending the PBMC to obtain the PBMC.
S2: separation of antigen specific T lymphocyte by immunomagnetic bead method
The proportion of CD3 positive cells in PBMCs was determined by flow cytometry. CD3/CD28 beads (106 CD3 positive cells plus 30. mu.l beads) were added to the cell suspension at a ratio of CD3/CD28 dynabeads: CD3 positive cells to 3:1 and spun at 1rpm at 4 ℃Shaking for 30min to make the magnetic strain and cell contact and combine; after 30 minutes, adding enough Buffer1 (more than 1ml) into the test tube, then placing the test tube on a magnetic frame, rotating left and right for 1-2 minutes, and sucking and removing the supernatant; preparing a Vivo complete culture medium: vivo air culture + 5% FBS + 1% HEPES + 1% sodium pyruvate + 1% non-essential amino acids +1:30 glutamine +1:10000IL-2+1:2000IL-7+1:2000IL-15, and Vivo whole culture heavy suspension cell and magnetic beads, counting; the medium was added to give a concentration of CD3 positive cells between 0.5 and 1X 106/ml.

S3: preparation of antigen-specific T lymphocytes by virus transfection method
CD3 positive T lymphocytes obtained by immunomagnetic bead separation were transduced with recombinant lentiviruses at MOI values of 5, 20, 40, 80, MOI (number of viral infections) ([ viral titer x viral volume (ml) ]/cell number; 1200xg, 90min, centrifuging at 4 ℃, incubating in an incubator at 37 ℃ until a 96-well plate is full of cells, transferring to a 24-well plate, measuring the CAR transduction rate at 5-7 days, and collecting the cells to obtain the chimeric antigen receptor T cells with the endogenous PD1 knocked down.
Second, performance verification
1. The packaged lentiviruses were transfected into Jurkat Cell to calculate virus titers.
Centrifuging Jurkat cells at 1500rpm for 5min, discarding the supernatant, resuspending in 1ml 1640 medium, and counting; then add 0.5 × 10 in 96-well plate6Jurkat cells, adding viruses in a gradient proportion of 1:50, 1:500, 1:1000, 1:2000 and the like, and supplementing a culture medium until the total volume of each hole is 200 mu l; add 0.1. mu.l polybrene B protein per well to promote transduction (0.1. mu.l/200. mu.l system); centrifuging a 96-well plate at the temperature of 32 ℃ for 90min at 1200g, and incubating the plate in an incubator at the temperature of 37 ℃ for 4 h; and blowing and uniformly mixing the jurkat cell suspension of each hole of the 96-hole plate, transferring the well to a 1.5ml Ep tube, centrifuging the mixture at 1500rpm for 5min, discarding the supernatant, fully culturing and re-suspending the mixture by using 1ml 1640, transferring the mixture to a 24-hole plate, and performing amplification culture for 48h at 37 ℃. The results are shown in FIG. 2.
As can be seen from the figure, the sequences shown as SEQ ID No.1 and SEQ ID No.2 which respectively target PD1 are inserted into an EF1a promoter to obtain anti-CD19(miRNA- # PD1#1) CAR-T and anti-CD19(miRNA- # PD1#2) CAR-T virus infected Jurkat cells, the expression is about 80%, the capability of the virus infected Jurkat cells without miRNA (anti-CD19CAR-T) is equivalent, and the packaging titer is not obviously changed. However, the virus (anti-CD19CAR-T-miRNA # PD1#2) obtained by inserting the sequence described in SEQ ID NO.2 behind the EF1a promoter only expresses 60% of infected jurkat cells, and has obvious difference with the virus without miRNA, which indicates that the virus packaging titer is not influenced when microRNA is inserted into the EF1a promoter.
2. The expression level of PD1 of the PD1 knockout CD19 targeted chimeric antigen receptor T cell is measured by a flow cytometer.
Taking T cells after transduction of lentivirus, demagnetizing, centrifuging at 2500rpm for 3min, and removing supernatant; then, the cells were resuspended by FACS, centrifuged at 2500rpm for 3min, the supernatant was discarded, and then flow antibody was added, protected from light, incubated for 20min, washed twice by FACS, and analyzed by flow-based machine for expression of PD1 on the cell surface, the results are shown in FIG. 3.
Compared with CAR-T cells which do not express miRNA of targeted PD1, the viruses expressing miRNA # PD1# 1 and miRNA # PD1# 2 have the advantages that the amount of PD1 expressed by the CAR-T cells is obviously reduced, the efficient knockdown rate can reach more than 85%, and therefore two screened miRNA sequences aiming at PD1 efficient knockout are proved.
3. The in vitro tumor cell killing of the chimeric antigen receptor T cells knockdown PD1 was examined by flow cytometry.
Culturing Raji-Luc-GFP cells to logarithmic growth state, taking a certain number of cells, centrifuging, precipitating and counting; adding 10 into a 96-hole flat-bottom opaque white board4Raji-Luc-GFP cells, medium supplemented to 100. mu.L; respectively setting the cell ratio of anti-CD19CAR-T, anti-CD19(microRNA # PD1#1) CAR-T, anti-CD19(microRNA # PD1#2) CAR-T cells to Raji-Luc-GFP cells as 5:1, 10:1 and 20:1, and adding the corresponding CAR-T cells into each well for mixed culture; setting a Mock cell group, wherein the number of T cells is the same as that of the CAR-T cells; two controls were set simultaneously, negative control was raji-Luc-GFP cellsCulturing in a culture medium; the positive control was the addition of 2.5% Triton-X100 to the culture medium, neither Mock cells nor CAR-T cells, as the minimum and maximum background values for cell killing, i.e., Kmin and Kmax. After 4 hours of culture, the 96-well plate was centrifuged at 1500rpm for 5min, the supernatant was discarded, the cells were resuspended after one wash with medium, and the killing results were detected after surface staining of the flow cells. The results are shown in FIG. 4.
As can be seen from the figure, after incubating anti-CD19CAR-T with target cells respectively, only 1.22% and 3.07% of target cells remained in the incubation solutions of anti-CD19(microRNA # PD1#1) CAR-T and anti-CD19(microRNA # PD1#2) CAR-T compared to the control group, which was enhanced by about 4-fold compared to the original. The insertion of SEQ ID NO.1 or SEQ ID NO.2 in the EF1 alpha promoter can obviously enhance the killing power of anti-CD19CAR-T on tumor cells. And because the targeting positions of miRNA designs are different, the knocking efficiency of PD1 is possibly different, and the killing condition is different. The results show that the chimeric antigen receptor T cell targeting CD19 after the PD1 gene expression is knocked down, prepared by the method, has high-efficiency and specific tumor killing capacity, and can prevent tumor cells from escaping immune surveillance.
