Description

Fusion protein containing chimeric antigen receptor and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of biomedicine, in particular to a fusion protein containing a chimeric antigen receptor and application thereof.
Background
Malignant tumors have become one of the leading causes of death worldwide. With the continuous development of science and technology, the early diagnosis and treatment of cancer can greatly improve the cure rate of cancer and improve the life quality of patients. However, most malignant tumors still have the problems of poor prognosis, easy relapse and the like. Among all tumor treatment means, immunotherapy is receiving attention and expectations from researchers. Immunotherapy is characterized by the use of the immune system itself to combat cancer, including antibody therapy, cell therapy and immunomodulator therapy. Of particular interest is cell therapy, which involves the return of a cell preparation to a patient, thereby activating the patient's own immune response to achieve anti-tumor effects. In cellular immunotherapy, Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) modified T cell (CAR T) therapy has been proven to be effective in treating hematological malignancies, and has become a hotspot in the field of cancer treatment. With the official approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of two CAR T cell products (kymeriah and yescata) from norway and gilid in 2017 to market, CAR T therapy was initiated for the treatment of acute B-lymphoblastic leukemia as well as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Based on the breakthrough of CAR T in the treatment of hematological tumors, CAR T therapy is further expanded to the treatment of solid tumors, and is explored in various solid tumors including breast cancer, liver cancer, colorectal cancer, lung cancer and the like, but the solid tumors are different from the hematological tumors, lack safe and specific targets, and have complex tumor immune microenvironment, so that the treatment effect is poor. Therefore, there is an urgent need to find specific and safe therapeutic targets for solid tumors, optimize the structure of CAR, and improve the tumor microenvironment, thereby enhancing the anti-tumor effect of CAR T cells.
The Trophoblast cell-surface antigen 2 (Trop 2) is prepared fromTACSTD2The gene encodes an expressed type I transmembrane glycoprotein, isTACSTDOne member of the Gene family, humanTASTD2The gene is located in zone 3, zone 2 of the short arm of chromosome 1 (1 p 32). Trop2 is highly expressed in human embryonic trophoblast cells and choriocarcinoma cells, is not expressed or is low expressed in normal tissues and tissues beside cancer, and is highly expressed in epithelial cell cancer tissues. The related research shows that Trop2 is positively correlated with the metastasis and invasion degree of the tumor, and the prognosis of the tumor patient is influenced. Monoclonal-drug conjugates (ADCs) targeting Trop2 have excellent safety and efficacy in clinical therapy, leading to encouraging results in the treatment of refractory relapsed triple-negative breast cancer, and Trop2 has received increasing attention as a target for tumor-targeted therapy.

Examples
1. Construction of Sirf CAR T cells Co-expressing SIRP α -Fc fusion proteins
1.1 construction of T2-mCAR molecules Co-expressing SIRP α -Fc
Among the numerous molecules blocked by the CD47 antibody or receptor, the drug SIRPa-Fc fusion protein (TTI-621) was selected, and compared with the 150 kDa size of the antibody molecule, the SIRPa-Fc has the molecular weight of only 90kDa, and has better penetrability and tissue distribution. And the human SIRP alpha-Fc fusion protein has been proved to be capable of combining with CD47 molecules on the surface of tumor cells in vitro, thereby enhancing the phagocytic function of macrophages and activating the anti-tumor function of the whole immune system. Based on the fact that a mouse CAR gene constructed based on a retroviral vector framework can be efficiently transduced into a mouse T cell, the mCER structure of co-expression SIRPa-Fc is constructed on the basis of an original mouse secondary CAR molecule T2-m28z (A in figure 2). The mouse sirpa extracellular segment and the Fc segment of the murine IgG1 structure were fused and the mouse sirpa-Fc was ligated to the 3' end of the CAR gene without stop codon using a cleavable fusion protein linker adaptor sequence (2A peptide, P2A), which, due to the ability of P2A to cleave itself independently of proteases, allows the two domains to be cleaved and the co-expression of both molecules to be achieved. To this end, we constructed a murine CAR structure of T2-m28z SIRP α -Fc (Sirf) (B in FIG. 2) whose amino acid sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO: 18.
1.2 preparation of CAR T cells Co-expressing a SIRP α -Fc protein
Not only CD8 is reported in the literature+The T cells can be used for preparing CAR T cells, using CD4+T cell-produced CAR T cells can also cause direct cytotoxicity. At the same time, the CD4 is found in the clinical treatment of tumors+And CD8+The proportion of cells was in the range of 1: at 1, the therapeutic effect of CAR T will be more durable. Therefore, in subsequent experiments in this study, we selected to include both CD4+T cells also contain CD8+Mouse CD3 of T cells+T cells were used as cells for the subsequent preparation of mCAR T. mCAR T cells were prepared according to a previous experimental protocol and the transduction efficiency of different mcars was examined by flow cytometry. The experimental results show that the CAR T preparation efficiencies of T2-m28z and Sirf are both high, and are both around 90% (A in FIG. 3). And CD4 in the prepared mCAR T cells+And CD8+The ratios of (A) and (B) in FIG. 3 were also similar between the three groups, which also flanked that the secreted SIRPa-Fc fusion protein was directed against CD4+T cells and CD8+T cell clustering had no effect.
1.3 Sirf CAR T cells are able to secrete SIRP alpha-Fc fusion proteins
To further confirm that Sirf CAR T cells successfully expressed the sirpa-Fc protein in mice, we indicated the expression of secreted proteins in the cell supernatant by detection of HIS tag protein on the target protein. Experimental results found that, at the target band around 50kDa, expression of the target protein was found in the cell supernatant of Sirf CAR T, whereas no expression of the corresponding target protein was detected in the T2-m28z CAR T cell supernatant (fig. 4). Experimental results show that the constructed Sirf CAR T cells can express the SIRPa-Fc fusion protein and secrete the SIRPa-Fc fusion protein into cell culture supernatant.
1.4 SIRP alpha-Fc fusion protein capable of binding to the CD47 molecule on the surface of tumor cells
To verify whether sirpa-Fc fusion proteins in the Sirf CAR T cell supernatant were able to bind to CD47 on the surface of tumor cells, we tested the expression of the tumor cell CD47 molecule using an antibody competition binding method. The experimental result shows that the colorectal cancer cell MC38-Trop of the mouse+The surface of the tumor cell is highly expressed with CD47, and further the flow antibody of CD47 is used for detecting the expression of CD47 molecules on the surface of the tumor cell after being incubated with the supernatant, and the fluorescence intensity of CD47 molecules on the surface of the tumor cell after being incubated with the supernatant of T2-m28z is not changed, while the fluorescence intensity of CD47 molecules on the surface of the tumor cell after being incubated with the supernatant of the Sirf CAR T cell is obviously reduced (A in figure 5), which indicates that the SIRPa-Fc fusion protein secreted and expressed by the Sirf CAR T cell can be combined with CD47 on the surface of the tumor cell, competitively inhibits the recombination of the CD47 flow antibody, so that the flow detection value of CD47 is reduced. Another mouse breast cancer cell line expressing human Trop2, 4T1-Trop2+The same experimental results were also observed (B in fig. 5). The above experimental results show that the SIRP alpha-Fc fusion protein can be combined with CD47 indicated by mouse tumor cells.
1.5 SIRP alpha-Fc fusion protein enhances tumor phagocytosis in vitro by macrophages
The main approach of the CD47 antibody in tumor treatment is to block the 'eat me' signal of CD47-SIRP alpha, so that macrophages can play a role in phagocytosis of tumors, relieve immunosuppression and restore the anti-tumor capability of the immune system. sirpa-Fc expressed by Sirf CAR T cells has been shown to bind CD47 on the surface of tumor cells, blocking the rebinding of CD47 antibodies (figure 5). In order to verify that the SIRP alpha-Fc fusion protein secreted and expressed enhances the tumor phagocytosis of macrophages, culture supernatants of different CAR T cells are added into a co-culture system of mouse Bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) and tumor cells, and the functions of the macrophages are detected. As a result, it was found that the phagocytosis of macrophages was enhanced after the addition of the supernatant of the Sirf CAR T cells, and was higher than that of the control T2-m28z group and the blank UTD group. WhileThere was no difference in macrophage phagocytosis between the UTD group and the traditional second generation CAR T2-m28z group (A in FIG. 6). It has been shown that IFN-gamma can strongly and advantageously activate macrophages, and CAR T cells highly express IFN-gamma after recognizing tumor cells, whether Sirf CAR T cells secreting SIRPa-Fc protein can more strongly activate macrophages in tumor therapy
Figure 841741DEST_PATH_IMAGE001
We first collected the culture supernatant after co-culturing different T cells and tumor cells, and used it as the co-culturing medium of BMDM and tumor cells, and examined the phagocytic ability of macrophages. The results of the experiments showed that both mCAR T groups phagocytosed macrophages more than the control UTD group, whereas the Sirf group engulfed macrophages more strongly than the conventional T2-m28z group (B in fig. 6). This suggests that cytokines secreted by activated CAR T cells can also enhance tumor phagocytosis by macrophages. The above results demonstrate that Sirf CAR T cell culture supernatant containing sirpa-Fc fusion protein promotes tumor phagocytosis of macrophages in vitro.
2. The SIRP alpha-Fc does not influence the in vitro killing function of the Sirf CAR T cells
The surface of the T cell expresses CD47, and the CD47 antibody can be combined with the T cell to regulate the function of the T cell. Therefore, there is a need to further validate the effect of sirpa-Fc fusion proteins on CAR T cell killing tumor cell function in vitro.
2.1 the SIRP alpha-Fc fusion protein does not affect the tumor killing effect of CAR T cells
The primary function of the CAR T cells is to recognize and kill tumor cells, and the lysis of tumor cells MC38-Trop2 by T2-m28z and Sirf CAR T cells is compared by LDH release detection method+The ability of (c). Experimental results show that both Sirf and CAR T cells of T2-m28z and target cells were able to lyse tumor cells efficiently under co-culture conditions, and that the killing ability of CAR T cells to tumors was enhanced with increasing effector cell ratio (a in fig. 7), indicating that Sirf CAR T cells have tumor killing activity. However, there was no difference in tumor lysis ability between Sirf compared to T2-m28 z. In additionIn addition, in 4T1-Trop2+The same experiment was also performed on the tumor cell line (B in FIG. 7). The above experimental results demonstrate that sirpa-Fc fusion proteins do not affect the tumor cell killing function of CAR T cells.
2.2 SIRP alpha-Fc fusion proteins do not affect IFN-gamma expression of CAR T cells
IFN-gamma is an important anti-tumor factor, so that the CAR T cells and MC38-Trop2 are further detected by a flow cytometry method+IFN-gamma expression after co-culture of tumor cells. The experimental results showed that both Sirf and T2-m28z groups of CAR T cells highly expressed IFN- γ, both around 20% (a, B in fig. 8), compared to the control UTD group, and there was no difference in the expression amount of IFN- γ between the two. Detection and 4T1-Trop2+The same experiment was also performed with co-cultured CAR T cells, with T2-m28z expressing IFN- γ positive cells at a ratio of around 30% to Sirf CAR T cells (C, D in fig. 8). The above experimental results demonstrate that secretion of expressed sirpa-Fc fusion protein does not affect the expression of CAR T cell IFN- γ.
2.3 SIRP alpha-Fc fusion protein does not affect the level of activation of mCAR T cells
CAR T cells, upon recognizing the associated antigen on the surface of tumor cells, trigger CAR intracellular signaling, thereby activating CAR T cells, and CD47 has been reported to be associated with T cell activation. CD69 is an early activating molecule for T cells, is not expressed on resting T cells, and is highly expressed by CD69 under antigen stimulation and activation, suggesting a level of activation of T cells. To validate the effect of sirpa-Fc fusion proteins on CAR T cell activation, we examined the level of CD69 expression by T cells after 48 h of co-culture with tumor cells and the experimental results found that both Sirf and T2-m28z CAR T cells highly expressed CD69 after co-culture with tumor cells (a in fig. 9), indicating that both CAR T cells were activated and that there was no difference in CD69 expression between Sirf and T2-m28z (B in fig. 9). The above results demonstrate that expression of sirpa-Fc fusion protein does not affect activation of CAR T cells.
SIRP alpha-Fc enhances the antitumor function of Sirf CAR T cells in vivo
Important indicators for assessing the clinical efficacy of a tumor include the size of the tumor in a patient and the survival rate of the patient. Therefore, the anti-tumor function of Sirf CAR T cells requires further validation in mice to determine their actual therapeutic effect on solid tumors. In vitro experiments, Sirf and T2-m28z have no difference in the function of killing tumor cells, but CAR T cells are influenced by immune microenvironment and immune system in vivo, and various immune cells interact with each other, so that different curative effects can be displayed. Therefore, to better assess the in vivo anti-tumor function of Sirf CAR T cells, we still chose to verify whether Sirf CAR T cells could exert better anti-tumor effects under the conditions of the intact immune system and tumor immune microenvironment in an immunocompromised allograft tumor mouse model.
3.1 more effective Sirf CAR T in inhibiting growth of colorectal cancer in mice
First, we chose the subcutaneous tumor-bearing MC38-Trop2 in the right side of immunocompromised C57BL/6 mice+1X 10 by caudal vein infusion on the seventh day after tumor cells6Tumor size and body weight measurements of tumor-bearing mice were performed twice a week on individual mCAR T cells (a in fig. 10). Tumor volumes of control mice had reached the ethical anthropogenic end-point of the animals at day 31, and we performed tumor tissue sampling. The experimental results showed that the tumor growth was significantly inhibited in mice of the T-cell group of the reinfused Sirf CAR, statistically significantly different from that of the T2-m28z group (B in fig. 10), while there was no difference in the change in body weight of the mice of the three groups (C in fig. 10). After 31 days of material selection, photographs were taken comparing tumor size and the tumor volume and weight were found to be significantly less for the Sirf group than for the T2-m28z and UTD groups (D, E in fig. 10). The above experimental results demonstrate that Sirf CAR T cells have stronger anti-tumor function than T2-m28z CAR T cells in a mouse colorectal model in vivo experiments.
3.2 Sirf CAR T cells inhibit growth of mouse breast cancer
4T1 is a breast cancer cell line from BALB/c mice, and the literature reports that the growth characteristics of 4T1 cells in BALB/c tumor-bearing mice are very similar to the growth characteristics of human breast cancer, so that the cell is a very important animal model in the IV stage of human breast cancer and is commonly used for the treatment of breast cancerThe drug or treatment regimen is evaluated preclinically. In this study, we used BALB/c mice to inoculate 4T1-Trop2 subcutaneously+Tumor cells, and two reinfuses of 1X 106Individual mCAR T cells (a in fig. 11) observed the anti-tumor effect of Sirf CAR T cells. The experimental results show that despite two mCAR T cell transfusions, the growth of UTD was only inhibited to some extent in mice in the T2-m28z group compared to the control group, and the tumor size gradually increased with time, and the tumor growth rates of UTD and T2-m28z were still fast. However, tumor growth was significantly slower in mice of the Sirf group than in both T2-m28z and UTD, and tumor volume was smaller (B in fig. 11). The above experimental results demonstrate that Sirf CAR T cells are more effective in inhibiting breast cancer growth.
3.3 Sirf CAR T cells increase survival of chemotherapy-pretreated tumor-bearing mice
Sirf CAR T cells have been shown to be effective in inhibiting tumor growth in colorectal cancer in mice, but this is a therapeutic effect after early cell reinfusion in mice bearing tumors. In clinical treatment, most of the patients find the tumors at an advanced stage, so whether the mCAR T cells infused back later have different anti-tumor effects after the tumor-bearing mice form tumors or not
Figure 971371DEST_PATH_IMAGE001
Also, in current clinical CAR T cell reinfusion regimens, low doses of fludarabine and Cyclophosphamide (CY) are typically first selected for conditioning by intravenous drip in order to clear lymphocytes from the peripheral blood and reduce tumor burden. We also pretreated mice with cyclophosphamide prior to reinfusion therapy to investigate whether Sirf CAR T cells could prolong the survival time of tumor bearing mice. As shown in the in vivo experimental procedure (a in fig. 12), survival of the mice was observed for as long as 61 days, and it was found that there was no difference in survival rate between the mice of the T cell group into which T2-m28z CAR was reinfused and the mice of the CY group alone was injected. Whereas mice with returned Sirf CAR T cells had higher survival rates than both T2-m28z and UTD (B in fig. 12), the differences were statistically significant. Meanwhile, the change of the tumor size within 31 days after tumor formation is analyzed, and the tumors of all mice treated by cyclophosphamide are slightly reduced, but the tumor load of tumor-bearing mice is obviously reduced after the Sirf CAR T cells are further reinfused. The results show that the Sirf CAR T cells can effectively prolong the survival time of tumor-bearing mice pretreated by chemotherapeutic drugs and improve the survival rate.
4. Sirf CAR T cells improve tumor microenvironment and enhance self anti-apoptotic ability
In vivo experimental results show that the antitumor effect of the Sirf CAR T cells is significantly better than that of T2-m28z CAR T cells, and the Sirf CAR T cells reduce tumor burden and improve the survival rate of mice. In order to further explore the reasons, a series of in vitro experiments are carried out to carry out related mechanism research, and the changes of an immune system and a tumor immune microenvironment in tumor-bearing mice are synchronously compared.
4.1 Sirf CAR T cells persist in spleen of tumor-bearing mice to increase, TCMIncrease of the ratio
At MC38-Trop2+The tail vein in the tumor-bearing mouse tumor model of (a) was reinfused with CAR T cells, and then the proportion of CAR T cells in the mouse spleen was examined. The results showed that CAR T cell retention was detectable in both spleen of tumor bearing mice of the T2-m28z and Sirf groups (a in figure 13). Wherein the CD3 of spleen of the Sirf group mice+The proportion of CAR T cells in T cells is higher than that in T2-m28z group. Analysis of CD3 subpopulations we found no difference in the proportion of CD4 positive CAR T cells between the Sirf and T2-m28z groups (B in fig. 13), but a higher proportion of CD8 positive CAR T cells in the Sirf group than in T2-m28z (C in fig. 13). Further analysis of the level of differentiation of this fraction of CAR T cells in the spleen revealed T cells in CAR T cells of the Sirf groupCM(CD44+ CD62+) The cell proportion of (a) is much higher than that of the T2-m28z groupCMHas been proved to be capable of exerting an antitumor function with high efficiency and durability. The above results indicate that more T with high antitumor activity is retained in spleen of tumor-bearing mice infused with Sirf CAR TCMCAR T cells.
4.2 the Sirf CAR T cells have stronger anti-apoptosis ability, and the memory phenotype of the T cells is obvious
The above studies found that T in spleen of tumor-bearing miceCM The ratio of Sirf CAR T cells is higher, and the existing literature reports TCMThe anti-apoptosis ability is strong, the survival time is long, and the in-vivo long-acting anti-tumor function is maintained, so that the in-vitro experiment further verifies that the Sirf CAR T cells have stronger anti-apoptosis ability. The experimental results show that CD44 in Sirf CAR T cells after co-culture with tumor cells+CD62L+T ofCMThe cell proportion was significantly higher than that of T2-m28z CAR T cells (A in FIG. 14). After the CAR T cells recognize and kill the tumor, the CAR T cells can also generate spontaneous apoptosis, and the apoptosis level of the T cells after the CAR T cells are co-cultured with the tumor cells is detected to find the apoptosis proportion (Annexin V) in the CAR-positive T cells in the Sirf group+/ 7-AAD+) Significantly lower than the T2-m28z group (B in fig. 14), but there was no difference in the level of apoptosis of this portion of T cells that were CAR negative between the two groups (C in fig. 14), suggesting that secretion of sirpa-Fc fusion protein expression may only be on activated CARs+T cells have a role. The above results demonstrate that expression of a sirpa-Fc fusion protein enhances the anti-apoptotic ability of Sirf CAR T cells.
4.3 Sirf CAR T improves the immune microenvironment of mouse tumor tissue regions
Immunosuppressive effects in the tumor microenvironment are one of the bottlenecks in CAR T treatment of solid tumors, and CAR T cell retention was detected in both Sirf and T2-m28z groups of tumors as detected in tumor tissue of tumor-bearing mice, where Sirf CAR T cells were returned to tumor tissue of either CD4+Or CD8+The proportion of CAR T cells was higher than that of T2-m28z group (a, B in fig. 15). Further examination of other immune cells in tumor tissue revealed CD11c in the Sirf group tumors+The DC cell ratio of (A) was higher than that of T2-m28z and UTD group (C in FIG. 15), while CD11b in tumor tissue of Sirf group+ Ly6G+The cellular proportion of MDSCs was significantly lower than the T2-m28z group (D in fig. 15). The above results demonstrate that Sirf CAR T cells are able to improve the tumor immune microenvironment of tumor-bearing mice.
4.4 decrease in PD-1 Positive cell proportion in Sirf CAR T cells
PD-1 is a star molecule in cancer immunotherapy, and blocking and down-regulating PD-1 molecules can significantly enhance the anti-tumor function of CAR T cells. In vitro results found that the proportion of PD-1 positive cells in CAR T cells after co-culture with tumor cells was significantly increased, and that the proportion of PD-1 positive cells in Sirf CAR T cells was lower than that of the T2-m28z CAR T cell group, with no difference between the PD-1 positive rates in non-CAR T cells (fig. 16). The above results demonstrate that the secretion of the expressed sirpa-Fc fusion protein is not only able to reduce the proportion of PD-1 positive cells in CAR T cells, but also has no additional effect on non-CAR T cells.
5. Safety of Sirf CAR T cell therapy
Since CD47 is expressed in normal tissues and cells, whether a CD47 blocker sirpa-Fc fusion protein will affect the function of normal tissues and organs during Sirf CAR T cell therapy is also a key to its successful application to clinical practice. Based on this consideration, we performed an initial assessment of therapeutic safety of Sirf CAR T cells.
The existing clinical data show that anemia and thrombocytopenia become dose-limiting toxicity of the CD47 antibody, so that the project also detects related indexes such as hemoglobin content, platelet count and erythrocyte number in model animals. The results show that there was no difference in the total number of white blood cells (a in fig. 17), total number of red blood cells (B in fig. 17), and hemoglobin (D in fig. 17) in the blood of the mice after transfusion of Sirf T2-m28z CAR T cells in comparison with the model group and the T2-m28z CAR T cell group. The content of platelets (C in FIG. 17) was significantly increased after transfusion back of Sirf T2-m28z CAR T cells compared to the model group, but was not significantly different from the T2-m28z CAR T cell group. The experimental results show that the transfusion of the Sirf CAR T cells can not cause anemia, thrombocytopenia and other blood toxicity caused by application of the CD47 antibody in the existing clinical practice, and the safety is better.
Further to assess the potential toxicity of Sirf CAR T cells to normal tissues, we examined pathological changes in important organs of mice, including heart, liver, lung and kidney, 31 days after reinfusion treatment, with no apparent significant morphological changes in the organs (fig. 18).
6. In vitro killing effect verification of human CAR T cells
The murine sequence in the fusion protein shown by SEQ ID NO. 18 was replaced with the humanized sequence shown by SEQ ID NO. 19 and the in vitro killing effect was verified.
The experimental results showed that the control model group, the T2-m28z CAR T cell group and the Sirf CAR T cells were both able to kill Trop2 positive cells MDA-MB-231 and BGC-823 tumor cell lines (FIG. 19). The above results indicate that the human T2-CAR T cells have specific target killing effect on Trop2 positive tumor cells.
In conclusion, the CAR T cell technology is combined with a CD47 blocker SIRP alpha-Fc fusion protein, the CAR T cell becomes a brick-kick for destroying solid tumors, the function of the body autoimmune system is mobilized by expressing a blocker of a CD47 molecule on the surface of a tumor cell, the microenvironment of tumor tissues is improved, and the anti-tumor function of the CAR T cell is enhanced, so that the aim of inhibiting the solid tumors is fulfilled, and a reference and an idea are provided for the subsequent treatment of the solid tumors.
