Abstract

The invention discloses application of liraglutide as an immune cell treatment synergist. The inventors have found that liraglutide can enhance the ability of unexpectedly enhancing the killing of immune cells, particularly NK cells, against tumors. In addition, compared with a control group without using liraglutide, pretreatment of tumors with liraglutide can significantly improve the tumor killing effect without toxic or side effects. Is especially suitable for patients suffering from diabetes (or obesity) and cancer at the same time. Since liraglutide has proven to be safe and effective, it is likely to be a new approach to provide more effective cancer treatment for obese and diabetic patients. The treatment methods of the present invention may thus have profound effects on existing cancer treatment strategies.

Description

Application of liraglutide as immune cell treatment synergist
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of medicines, and particularly relates to application of liraglutide as an immune cell treatment synergist.
Background
Liraglutide (LIR) is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogue, which acts by mimicking the activity of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). It binds to the GLP-1 receptor, activating it, thereby increasing insulin secretion, inhibiting glucagon secretion, thereby reducing the amount of glucose released by the liver, and helping to lower blood glucose levels. And thus are widely used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes (Drucker DJ., mol meta, 2022). Liraglutide can inhibit appetite through central nervous system, reduce food intake, thereby slowing postprandial blood glucose rise speed, increasing insulin sensitivity and suppressing appetite, and is helpful for controlling blood glucose level and managing diabetes. These effects help to lower blood glucose levels, improve insulin resistance, and promote weight loss (Drucker DJ., cell meta, 2018). Thus liraglutide is also approved for the treatment of obesity. Liraglutide can be used as a monotherapy or in combination with other antidiabetic agents (e.g., metformin).
The tumor immune cell treatment is adoptive immune cell treatment, including T cell modified by engineering T cell receptor, killer cell induced by cytokine, natural killer cell, tumor infiltrating lymphocyte, chimeric antigen receptor T cell treatment, etc., and is prepared by culturing special tumor immune cells in vitro and actively infusing the special tumor immune cells into tumor patients, thereby achieving the anti-tumor effect and having better application prospect in blood tumor and solid tumor. Taking NK cells as an example, NK (natural killer) cells are an important class of immune cells that are mainly responsible for recognizing and killing abnormal cells in the body, including infected cells, cancer cells, and other damaged or abnormal cells. NK cells are able to directly recognize and kill diseased cells by activating and inhibiting receptors on their surface. Under normal conditions, the inhibitory receptor is able to maintain tolerance to healthy cells, whereas activation of the receptor causes NK cells to kill abnormal cells. NK cells also produce a variety of cytokines such as interferon (IFN-. Gamma.) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-. Alpha.) which play an important role in regulating immune responses and anti-tumor responses. NK (natural killer) cells are an emerging tumor treatment method with many of the following advantages:
target specificity: NK cells have natural killer action and can directly recognize and attack cancer cells. NK cell therapy is matched with radiotherapy and chemotherapy, so that tumor cells which cannot be completely resected in operation can be effectively cleared;
enhancement of immune response: NK cell therapy can enhance the immune response of the body, activate and enhance the ability of other immune cells (e.g. T cells, macrophages, etc.) to attack tumors. This helps to increase the efficiency of the immune system in combating cancer.
Low toxic and side effects: compared with other tumor treatment methods, such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy, NK cell treatment refers to in vitro amplification of NK cells separated from peripheral blood and other sources, and then the NK cells are adoptive to a patient, so that activation and proliferation of damaged NK cells of a tumor patient can be induced, the number of the NK cells is increased, and the NK cell is used as adoptive immunotherapy of malignant tumors of a blood system and solid cancers. NK cell therapy generally has low toxic side effects, no MHC restriction, no dependence on antibodies, killing tumor cells by post-release perforin and granzyme or by death receptors.
Is not easy to generate drug resistance: traditional chemotherapeutics may cause tumor cells to develop drug resistance, thereby weakening the therapeutic effect. But NK cell treatment is not easy to generate drug resistance, and can continuously and effectively attack tumors.
Individual suitability: NK cell therapy can be tailored to the individual condition of the patient, making the therapy more personalized and accurate.
NK cell therapy is combined with radiotherapy and chemotherapy, so that the curative effect of radiotherapy and chemotherapy can be improved, and side effects can be reduced. NK cell therapy is a good choice for patients with advanced cancer who are not suitable for surgery or radiotherapy and chemotherapy. NK cell therapy is adopted regularly after operation, so that the recurrence and metastasis of cancers can be prevented. Relieving cancer pain, improving sleep, improving life quality of patients, and prolonging life cycle of patients.
Sub-healthy people can be treated by NK cells to reduce the risk of cancer. Studies have shown that the number of peripheral blood NK cells in obese patients is relatively low and that the activity and function of these cells is significantly reduced compared to normal weight individuals. This means that Obesity can lead to NK cells being impaired in immune surveillance and anti-tumor effects (De barrea c., obosity, 2023). Some studies indicate that NK cell function may be impaired in diabetics, possibly manifested by reduced recognition and killing of tumors and infections. Some studies have also found that NK cell function in diabetics may be improved with good glycemic control (Berrou j., PLoS One, 2013).
Tumor immune cell therapy, particularly NK cell therapy, is increasingly becoming a promising area of clinical research, but there are still many challenges to be addressed, such as immunosuppression in TME, increased NK cell proliferation and cytotoxicity, etc. Future therapeutic approaches must not only target NK cells to tumor cells, but also maximize the effectiveness of therapeutic immune cell products by increasing the persistence and killing of these lymphocytes in the body.

Experimental summary:
the results of example 1 show that:
compared with untreated liraglutide groups, NK cell tumor killing was significantly increased, demonstrating that liraglutide can enhance NK cell tumor killing. The inventors further compared the tumor killing ability of NK cells with different concentrations of liraglutide. The results show that the toxic effect of NK cells has no obvious liraglutide concentration dependent effect, and the killing effect of NK cells on tumor cells can be obviously improved by co-incubation of the liraglutide with low concentration.
Studies have shown that liraglutide promotes the killing of immune cells mainly by inhibiting STAT3 signaling pathways in tumor cells, and that the effect of liraglutide in the tumor microenvironment is twofold, on the one hand, in tumors, NKG2D ligand (MICA/B, ULBP) and NK cell-attracting chemokine CCL5 are inhibited by STAT 3; upregulating surface expression of MHC I and PD-L1 molecules and secretion of immunosuppressive factor TGF-b; on the other hand, in NK cells, STAT3 reduces DNAM-1 expression in NK cells. Increased levels of DNAM-1 following Stat3 deficiency help to enhance killing of tumor cells expressing DNAM-1 ligand, increased expression of granzyme B and perforin following Stat3 deficiency. After the liraglutide is acted, NK cell recognition and killing cells are promoted.
To further explore how liraglutide enhances tumor killing of NK cells, an optimal treatment regimen was explored. The inventors designed different experimental groups: in order to verify whether liraglutide directly affects the tumor killing of NK cells, liraglutide was pre-treated with NK cells and tumor cells for 2 hours, respectively, before tumor cytotoxicity experiments; to verify whether a continuous treatment of liraglutide is required for the enhancement of NK cell tumor killing, the liraglutide treatment group was continued to be administered in the tumor cytotoxicity experiment after 2 hours of pretreatment of NK cells and tumor cells, respectively.
The results of example 2 show that:
1. compared with the control group without using the liraglutide, the direct treatment of NK cells or tumor cells by the liraglutide is the detection of cytotoxicity. The liraglutide has no toxic or side effect on cells.
2. Compared with the non-pretreated liraglutide group, the NK cell pretreatment group has no difference in the NK cell tumor killing effect; the NK cell tumor killing effect was also not different in the liraglutide pre-treated tumor cell group compared to the non-pre-treated liraglutide group. It is demonstrated that liraglutide does not directly promote its tumor killing ability by affecting NK, and also has no direct killing promoting effect on tumor cells.
3. After the tumor cells are pretreated by the liraglutide for 2 hours, and the liraglutide treatment is continued in the process of the common incubation of NK and tumor cells, the tumor killing property of the NK cells can be remarkably improved, and the cytotoxicity is improved by about 2 times compared with that of a group which is not treated by the liraglutide. Demonstrating that liraglutide plays a role in NK cell killing tumor; pretreatment of tumor groups, the strongest NK cytotoxicity also indicated that liraglutide was able to boost the sensitivity of tumor cells to NK cell killing.
Example 3 further demonstrates the role of liraglutide in tumor immune cell therapy, increasing the effective target ratio of NK cells to tumor cells to 10:1. the results showed agreement with the conclusions of example 2. After the tumor cells are pretreated by the liraglutide for 2 hours, and the liraglutide treatment is continued in the process of the common incubation of NK and tumor cells, the tumor killing property of the NK cells can be remarkably improved, the tumor cytotoxicity reaches 94%, and the tumor cells almost completely die. From this it follows that the effective target ratio 10:1, after the liraglutide is used for preprocessing tumor cells for 2 hours, the scheme of incubating NK and tumor cells and simultaneously maintaining low concentration of the liraglutide has the best tumor killing effect.
In conclusion, the experimental result of the inventor shows that the liraglutide enhances the killing capacity of NK cells on tumors by improving the sensitivity of the tumor cells to NK cell killing. In addition, compared with a control group without using liraglutide, the treatment with the liraglutide can obviously improve the tumor killing performance of NK cells without toxic and side effects.
The above description of the present invention is further illustrated in detail and should not be taken as limiting the practice of the present invention. It is within the scope of the present invention for those skilled in the art to make simple deductions or substitutions without departing from the concept of the present invention.
