Description

Synergistic and depletion resistant chimeric antigen receptor T cell and application thereof in preparation of tumor treatment drugs
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of biology, and particularly relates to a chimeric antigen receptor T cell which is synergistic and resistant to exhaustion and application thereof in preparing a tumor treatment drug.
Background
In recent years, although conventional tumor treatment methods such as radiotherapy, chemotherapy and operation treatment can achieve a certain treatment effect, the problems of metastasis, recurrence and low survival rate of patients of tumors are not solved properly. With the development of tumor immunology theory and technology, the role of immune cells in tumor therapy is increasingly emphasized. Among them, the chimeric antigen receptor T cell technology is a cell therapy technology which has been developed very rapidly in recent years.
Chimeric Antigen Receptors (CARs) are the core component of CAR-T, which, by virtue of their ligand binding domain properties, are able to redirect their specificity and reactivity towards selected immune cells, thus conferring to T cells the ability to recognize tumor antigens in an HLA-independent manner, which enables CAR engineered T cells to recognize a wider range of targets than native T cell surface receptor TCRs. The basic design of a CAR includes a Tumor Associated Antigen (TAA) binding region (typically an scFv fragment derived from a monoclonal antibody antigen binding region), an extracellular hinge region, a transmembrane region and an intracellular signaling region.
There are still problems with the current use of conventional CAR-T for hematological tumors, limiting its clinical application. The current FDA approved CD19 CAR-T cell drugs respectively take CD28 or 4-1BB as a co-stimulatory domain (Forsberg MH, et al potential of CAR T therapy for relapsed or refractory pediatric and young adult B-cell ALL. Ther Clin Risk Manag,2018,14:1573-1584.Hombach AA,et al.The weal and woe of costimulation in the adoptive therapy of cancer with Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) -redirected T cells. Curr Mol Med,2013,13 (7): 1079-1088), and the two CAR-T cells with the co-stimulatory domain of CD28 have advantages and disadvantages, namely, the CAR-T cells proliferate faster in the early stage of the reaction, can mediate stronger tumor killing capacity, but have stronger side effects and poorer persistence in the later stage of the immune reaction; while 4-1 BB-based CAR-T cells have a poorer ability to proliferate at the early stage of the reaction than CD28 CAR, they have a better persistence, and can maintain a higher cell number at the late stage of the immune reaction (Salter AI, et al phosphoproteomic analysis of chimeric antigen receptor signaling reveals kinetic and quantitative differences that affect cell function. Sci Signal,2018,11 (544): eaat6753.Maloney DG. Anti-CD19 CAR T cell therapy for lymphoma-off to the same as in the first place of the reaction, i.e., nat Rev Clin Oncol,2019,16 (5): 279-280.Kawalekar OU,et al.Distinct signaling by Chimeric Antigen Receptors (CARs) contact CD28 signaling domain versus 4-1BB in primary human T cells.Blood,2013,122 (21): 2902.). In addition, it is noted that CAR-T cells also have some side effects during treatment, such as cytokine release syndrome (Cytokine release syndrome, CRS), neurotoxicity, B cell dysfunction, and also have problems with tumor recurrence (Bonifant CL, et al, toxicity and management in CAR T-cell therapy. Mol ter-Oncolytics, 2016,3:16011.Porter DL,et al.Chimeric antigen receptor T cells persist and induce sustained remissions in relapsed refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia.Sci Transl Med,2015,7 (303): 303ra139.Maude SL,et al.Managing cytokine release syndrome associated with novel T cell-gating therapies. Cancer J,2014,20 (2): 119-122.Sadelain M.Chimeric antigen receptors:a paradigm shift in immunotherapy.Annu Rev Canc Biol,2017,1:447-466.).

Target cells expressing antigen were selected for co-culture with KT4 CAR-T, and the level of IL-2 and IFN-gamma secretion in response to antigen stimulation was detected for KT4 CAR-T, and Raji (CD 19 positive cell line) was selected for target cells, 293T (CD 19 negative cell line) to show that KT4 CAR-T specifically secreted IL-2 and IFN-gamma when stimulated with CD19 antigen, and that KT4 CAR-T significantly secreted IFN-gamma and IL-2 when co-cultured with CD19 positive target cells Raji (FIGS. 5 and 6), indicating that KT4 CAR has a response to antigen positive tumor cells.
On the other hand, when KT1, KT2, KT3, KT4, KT5, KT6, KT7, KT8 CAR-T were compared to the positive target cells Raji, IL-2 and IFN-gamma cytokine levels were secreted from each group. As shown in fig. 5, the secretion levels of KT3 and KT4 CAR-T are significantly improved compared with those of the CAR-T of each other group, and the amount of secreted cytokines is extremely low because of weak anti-tumor effects of KT7 and KT8 CAR-T.
Example 5 anti-tumor Effect of CAR-T cells in mice
Nalm6 cells in 5% CO 2 Culturing in an incubator at 37 ℃ and the culture medium is DMEM high-sugar culture medium containing 10% FBS. NGG mice were purchased from Jiangsu Jiuzhikang biotechnology limited, 4 week old, body weight (17±2) g, female. 2.5X10 6 A/mL Nalm6 cell suspension was inoculated subcutaneously to the right of the mice in an amount of 0.2 mL/mouse, and the mice were cultured for 20d to form tumors. 2.5X10 7 The CAR-T cell suspension/mL was administered by intravenous injection in an amount of 0.2 mL/mouse, and the tumor volume of the mice was measured at intervals of 3-5 d.
Intravenous injection of PBS (control group) and 8 groups of CAR-T including KT1, KT2, KT3, KT4, KT5, KT6, KT7 and KT8, observation of tumor volume change in mice shows that: mice in the control group died at 16d, whereas the experimental groups KT3 and KT4 had tumor disappearance at 16d, with KT3 and KT4 groups mice having earliest tumor disappearance times in vivo compared to the remaining groups, followed by KT1 and KT2, and again KT5 and KT6 (fig. 7). In mice, 8 groups of CAR-T of different structure had varying degrees of anti-tumor effect on tumors of positive antigens.
Example 6 CAR-T cell surface depletion marker expression level
To evaluate the effect of KT1-KT8 on the depletion marker by antigen stimulation, CD19 antigen positive target cells 293T-CD19 were selected for co-culture with CAR-T at a 1:1 target ratio after 12 days of CAR-T culture, and CAR-T cell surface depletion markers PD-1, lag-3, tim-3 expression were detected after 1 day of co-culture (table 1). In vitro demonstrated minimal expression of PD-1 in KT4, suggesting that KT4 may have a lower inhibition of PD-L1 mediation. Likewise, LAG3 and Tim3 were minimally expressed in KT4, and the results indicate that the levels of depletion markers generated on the surface of CAR-T cells in 8 sets of different structures vary from structure to structure.
