Description

Thymus-dependent lymphocyte antigen epitope peptide of primary liver cancer-related antigen and application thereof
The invention relates to a division of a thymus-dependent lymphocyte epitope peptide with the patent name of 'primary liver cancer-associated antigen and application thereof', the application number of which is '201911286067.5' and the application date of which is '2019-12-13'.
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of medical immunology and oncology, and particularly relates to thymus-dependent lymphocyte epitope peptides of three primary liver cancer-related antigens and application thereof.
Background
The primary liver cancer is the lethal cause of 4 th common malignant tumor and 3 rd tumor in China, and seriously threatens the life and health of people in China. The pathological type of the primary liver cancer is hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) which accounts for 85 to 90 percent; there are also a few intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) and HCC-ICC mixed types, which have large differences in pathogenesis, biological behavior, molecular characteristics, clinical manifestations, histopathological morphology, treatment methods, prognosis, etc.
In China, the high risk group of HCC mainly has Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) and/or Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infection, long-term alcoholism (alcoholic liver disease), non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, food polluted by aflatoxin, cirrhosis caused by various reasons and people with family history of liver cancer, and meanwhile, the risk of men over 40 years old is high. Recent studies suggest that diabetes, obesity, smoking, and the like are also risk factors for HCC and are of interest.
AFP, GPC3 and GP73 are common tumor-associated antigens which are over-expressed in liver cancer, and are widely researched in the aspects of diagnosis, treatment, course monitoring and the like of liver cancer. A positive serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) means that the AFP is more than or equal to 400 mu g, chronic or active hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, testicular or ovarian embryonic derived tumors, pregnancy and the like are excluded, and liver cancer is highly suspected. For patients with low AFP elevation, dynamic observation and analysis of liver function change should be performed. Approximately 30% of liver cancer patients have normal AFP levels and should be tested for alpha-fetoprotein heteroplasmons. GPC3 is one of heparan sulfate glycoproteins, and is highly expressed in primary liver cancer tissues, while other normal tissues are not expressed or are low expressed. GPC3 can promote tumor cell proliferation and differentiation, and can promote formation, growth and metastasis of hepatocarcinoma by combining with extracellular matrix, protease and growth factor. GP73 is a Golgi type II transmembrane protein, which is expressed poorly in hepatocytes under physiological conditions. The serum GP73 level of a patient with primary liver cancer is detected to show that the expression of the GP73 is obviously high, and the expression of the GP73 is negatively related to the liver function and the disease condition of the patient, and is one effective index of the damage severity degree of liver cells. The three liver cancer-related tumor antigens are selected for research.
Cytotoxic T Cells (CTL), which are core cells mediating adaptive immune response, play a crucial role in anti-infection, anti-tumor, and hypersensitivity reactions and the development of autoimmune diseases, and T Cell Receptors (TCR) on their cell membranes are capable of specifically recognizing and binding to complexes of MHC class I molecules and antigenic peptides on the surface of antigen presenting cells, i.e., MHC/antigenic peptide complex molecules. CTL epitopes are antigenic peptides bound to MHC class I molecules, which are linear fragments or spatial conformational structures of antigenic molecules that can be specifically recognized by the TCR, and are the basic antigenic units that elicit an immune response, playing a key role in CTL activation.
The MHC system refers to the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC), which is a group of closely linked genes in the vertebrate genome that encode molecules expressing MHC class I and class II proteins. HLA (human leukocyte antigen) is the human MHC system, the most complex gene group in humans, and is highly polymorphic in the human population. HLA plays an important role in immune processes such as antigen recognition, antigen presentation and the like, and is capable of influencing immune response of human bodyThe main factors. For human liver cancer, HLA class I molecules are primarily responsible for the presentation of endogenous liver cancer associated antigens to CD8 + CTLs, activated CTLs, apoptosis tumor cells expressing tumor-associated antigens by secreting perforin, granzyme, and the like. Thus, dynamic monitoring of hepatoma associated antigen specific CD8 + The number and the function of the T cells can accurately reflect the specific immune function state of the liver cancer patient aiming at the liver cancer related antigen. Because different people have different HLA molecular types, the processing, treatment and presentation capacities on different antigens of liver cancer are different, and thus different intensities of specific T cell immune response reactions of the antigens related to the liver cancer are caused. According to different HLA molecular types of liver cancer patients, antigen peptides of the presented liver cancer related antigen are selected, and the specificity of the liver cancer related antigen CD8 is dynamically monitored + The number and the reactivity of the T cells have great significance for monitoring the disease process of liver cancer patients, making diagnosis and treatment schemes, observing curative effect, judging prognosis outcome and the like, and are important technical means for realizing accurate medical treatment of liver cancer. Meanwhile, by using the antigen peptides of the liver cancer related antigens combined by the HLA-A molecules with high affinity,base:Sub>A polypeptide vaccine orbase:Sub>A gene vaccine can be prepared to prevent and treat liver cancer.
However, the existing definite primary liver cancer related antigen T cell epitopes presented by various HLA molecules and capable of stimulating organisms to cause T cell response are still very few, so that the development of specific T cell detection on liver cancer patients carrying different HLA alleles is limited, the action research of liver cancer specific T cells in liver cancer occurrence and development is also limited, and personalized detection and accurate immunotherapy based on the individual difference of HLA genes and the difference of presented liver cancer related antigen peptides are further limited.
