Description

Construction and application of chimeric antigen receptor-monocyte/macrophage (CAR-M)
The technical field is as follows:
the invention belongs to the technical field of immunotherapy, and particularly relates to construction and application of a chimeric antigen receptor-monocyte/macrophage (CAR-M).
Background art:
cells currently used internationally for cellular immunotherapy are mainly divided into two main categories: the first category includes lymphokine activated killer cells (LAK), natural killer cells (NK), cytokine induced killer Cells (CIK), and the like; the second category is T lymphocytes with tumor antigen specificity, including Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes (TIL), cytotoxic T Cells (CTL). The first technical system is simple, particularly the treatment of CIK cells is popular in China, the second technical system is relatively complex, the cell culture period is long, the culture success rate is relatively low, but the curative effect is more obvious because of high specificity to kill tumor cells. CAR-T is a novel therapeutic cell obtained based on the two types of researches, CAR is the abbreviation of Chimeric antigen receptor, and CAR-T cell immunotherapy is that T cells of a patient are modified through genetic engineering, added with a Chimeric antigen receptor, and then amplified in vitro and then transfused into the body of the patient. The CAR-T cells have achieved remarkable curative effects on treatment of blood system tumors such as acute leukemia, non-Hodgkin lymphoma and the like. CAR-T cell immunotherapy, however, encounters an unprecedented challenge during clinical treatment of solid tumors: 1) the solid tumor extracellular matrix hinders CAR-T cell infiltration; 2) solid tumor immunosuppressive microenvironments (heavily infiltrated immunosuppressive cells, tregs, TAMs, MDSCs, etc.; immunosuppressive cytokines, TGF-. beta., IL-10, etc.; arrestin expression, PD-1/PD-L1, CTLA-4, etc.) inhibits CAR-T tumor killing activity; 3) the high heterogeneity of solid tumors makes CAR-T cell therapy deficient in effective tumor antigens.
The macrophage has strong phagocytic function, and can be cleared by about 2 × 10 every day11Each red blood cell is equivalent to 3kg of hemoglobin which can be recycled by the organism every year. In addition, macrophage cell-mediated immunityCells play an important role in phagocytosis, antigen presentation, immune balance regulation and the like, and play an important monitoring function for maintaining the immune homeostasis of an organism. The macrophage can detect tissue damage signals or microorganism invasion signals in the surrounding environment through a surface receptor, and once abnormality is found, phagocytosis and antigen presentation of the macrophage can be induced, so that specific immune response of an organism is promoted. For example, alveolar macrophages are effective in clearing lung allergens; kupffer cells help clear circulating pathogens and toxins from the blood. Macrophages can also phagocytose immunogenic dead tumor cells and present tumor antigens to T cells, exerting anti-tumor immunity.
However, in recent years, it has been found that tumor cells or other cells in tumor tissues recruit macrophage infiltration by releasing chemokines such as CCL2, CXCL12, CSF1, and macrophages are immune cells with the highest infiltration rate in the microenvironment of solid tumors. Macrophages infiltrating tumor tissues are also called Tumor Associated Macrophages (TAMs), and play an important role in the generation, development and metastasis of tumors. In the tumor microenvironment, tumor cells can bind to receptors on macrophages through CD47 and MHCI molecules, and phagocytosis of the tumor cells by the macrophages is inhibited. Meanwhile, lipid metabolism in TAMs is regulated and controlled, lipid drop accumulation is promoted, and phagocytic ability of macrophages is damaged. Therefore, although macrophages infiltrated in tumor tissues have the potential of killing tumor cells, the molecules such as CD47 on the surface of the tumor cells inhibit the TAMs, so that the TAMs do not kill the tumor cells, and can promote the growth of tumors by promoting the angiogenesis and other effects.
Based on this, the mononuclear/macrophage is taken as a carrier cell of cellular immunotherapy, the mononuclear/macrophage is modified from a molecular level by combining the advantages of the vigorous development of the existing chimeric antigen receptor technology and the gene optimization technology which is mature day by day, and the chimeric antigen receptor-macrophage (CAR-M) is prepared and obtained, and the high-efficiency infiltration property of the chimeric antigen receptor-macrophage is utilized to enhance the phagocytosis capacity and the antigen presentation capacity of the chimeric antigen receptor-macrophage, so that the CAR-M is expected to become a new generation of the cellular immunotherapy.
