Description

Tumor T cell epitope peptide, pMHC, and preparation and application thereof
The application is a divisional application of an invention patent application with the application date of 2022, 8-month and 30-day and the application number of 202211049861X and the invention name of 'a tumor T cell epitope peptide, pMHC and preparation and application'.
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of biology, in particular to a tumor T cell epitope peptide, pMHC, preparation and application thereof.
Background
The incidence and mortality of tumors are in an increasing state worldwide, and the most significant problem that exists today is the lack of effective treatments. Tumor immunotherapy refers to exogenous intervention of the immune system of an organism, restarting and maintaining 'tumor-immune' circulation, recovering and improving the anti-tumor immune response of the organism, enhancing the recognition and killing ability of tumor cells, and thus achieving the therapeutic effect of controlling and even specifically eliminating tumors. Compared with the traditional treatment means such as surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and the like, the tumor immunotherapy has the advantages of strong specificity and small side effect, and currently, the tumor immunotherapy methods which are applied to clinic mainly comprise immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment, adoptive cell immunotherapy, cancer vaccine, some emerging immunotherapy methods and the like. The immunotherapy of cancer is evaluated by the journal of science as the first of ten scientific breakthroughs in 2013, and is also a novel anti-tumor treatment means which is widely researched and developed at present.
The cancer immune cycle includes several steps: antigens produced by cancer cells are released after death of the cancer cells and captured by Dendritic Cells (DCs). Next, DCs present antigens captured on MHC molecules to T cells, thereby eliciting and activating responses of effector T cells to cancer antigens. Activated T cells enter and infiltrate the tumor site under the direction of chemokines. T cells specifically recognize and bind to and kill cancer cells through the interaction of TCRs with antigen-MHC complexes. Thus, T cell immune responses play an important role in anti-tumor immune defenses, occupying an important role in vaccine development. The first step in the cd8+ T cell immune response is the specific recognition of the epitope peptide presented by the cancer cell by the T cell through its surface antigen recognition receptor. Therefore, the epitope peptide is an important key molecule for specifically recognizing tumor cells and playing an immunoprotection role by T cells, and is a key targeting molecule for immunodetection, immunotherapy and vaccine development.
Chimeric antigen receptor T cell technology (CAR-T) and T cell receptor chimeric T cells (TCR-T) are currently receiving extensive attention and research as two most recent immune cell technologies. CAR-T cell therapy has achieved better efficacy in hematological tumors, but the cytokine storm and neurotoxic side effects it causes can be life threatening. TCR-T cell therapy is one of the effective immune cell therapies for solid tumors, and TCR alpha and beta chain genes capable of recognizing tumor-specific antigens are transfected into T cells, which are modified to express the tumor-antigen-specific TCR antigen-binding regions, thereby specifically recognizing the corresponding tumor antigens. Then the T lymphocyte expressing the tumor antigen specific TCR can recognize the HLA-antigen peptide complex on the surface of the tumor cell by in vitro amplification and reinfusion into human body, thereby triggering the immune effect of the T cell and achieving the purpose of killing the tumor cell. Tumor vaccine is prepared by inducing organism to generate tumor specific immune response by using tumor related antigens (TAAs), tumor polypeptide or tumor cell lysate, etc., protecting organism from tumor cell invasion, and preventing and treating tumor. Including two major classes, prophylactic tumor vaccines and therapeutic tumor vaccines. The therapeutic tumor vaccine mainly aims at tumor patients, and the purpose of treating tumors is achieved by generating specific antibodies, effector cells and specific immune memory cells in the body of the patients through immune induction. Clinical trials have demonstrated that tumor whole cell vaccines, tumor specific protein or polypeptide vaccines, and tumor nucleic acid vaccines exhibit great potential for use in tumor therapy.
The MAGE family is a proto-cancer antigen, one of the members of the cancer testis (cancer/testes) antigen superfamily. More than 60 members of the MAGE family are present in the same MAGE homology domain. Two main subclasses are: MAGE-I antigens and MAGE-II antigens. The expression of MAGE-II antigens is commonly found in normal cells, while the MAGE-I antigens are TAAs, i.e. they are not expressed in tissues of the human body except testis germ cells and placenta trophoblast, but are highly expressed in tumors, which is a hot spot in tumor research. The antigen of cancer testis cannot be recognized by T cells because of the lack of HLA by germ cells, but the simultaneous expression of antigen of cancer testis and HLA molecule can be recognized by T cells in malignant tumor. MAGE-I antigens can be divided into three subclasses: MAGE-A, MAGE-B and MAGE-C. The MAGE-A subfamily has strict expression patterns, wherein MAGE-A3, MAGE-A4, MAGE-A10, MAGE-A12 and the like are antigens with unique characteristics in the MAGE family, and have high specificity expression in patients with melanoma, liver cancer, lung cancer, esophageal cancer and the like. In recent years, two methods have been used for targeting anticancer effects of MAGE-A family genes: (1) vaccinating with MAGE epitope antigen vaccine; (2) TCR-T immune cell therapy.

Example 2 detection of tumor T cell epitope peptide formation of pMHC tetramer complex
1. Experimental method
(1) Preparation of pMHC complex monomer of tumor T cell epitope peptide
The mother liquor (10 mM) obtained in step (2) of example 1 was diluted to 400. Mu.M with PBS to obtain a diluted mother liquor, which was placed on ice for use.
20 mu L of diluted mother solution and 20 mu L of Flex-T monomer (200 mu g/mL) are added into a 96-well U-shaped plate, and the mixture is blown and mixed uniformly, and a sealing plate is taken off for mold; placing the 96-hole U-shaped plate on ice, and irradiating for 30min by using a UV lamp (the distance between the UV lamp and a sample is kept between 2 and 5 cm); covering a sealing plate, and incubating for 30min at 37 ℃ in a dry and dark place to obtain 31 pMHC complex monomers formed by 31 candidate tumor T cell epitope peptides and Flex-T monomers respectively, and setting the 31 pMHC complex monomers as an experimental group.
The pMHC complex formed by influenza A M1 peptide (amino acid sequence: GILGFVEFTL, shown as SEQ ID NO: 5) and Flex-T monomer was set as positive control group Pos;
the pMHC complex formed by EB virus peptide (amino acid sequence: IVTDFSVIK, shown as SEQ ID NO: 4) and Flex-T monomer was set as negative control group Neg;
pMHC monomers formed by PBS and Flex-T monomers were set as UV control;
(2) ELISA detects the ability of epitope peptides to form pMHC tetramer complexes
ELISA is adopted to detect whether 31 candidate tumor T cell epitope peptides synthesized in the step (2) of the example 1 can form pMHC tetramers, and the specific method is as follows:
100. Mu.L of 0.5. Mu.g/mL streptavidin (Streptavidin solution) was added to the 96-well plate at room temperature and incubated overnight (16-18 h), followed by 3 washes with 300. Mu.L of 1 XWash Buffer and 1 XDiluon Buffer (1M NaCl,0.5M Tris,1%BSA (w/v), 0.2% Tween 20 (w/v), pH=8.0) and blocking at room temperature for 30min.
The pMHC complex monomers of step (1) (positive control Pos, negative control Neg, UV control and experimental) were diluted 1200-fold with 1x Dilution Buffer, respectively.
Simultaneously setting a Monomer group: equally diluting Flex-T monomer; blank group: only 1 Xvolume Buffer was added in equal amounts to the other groups.
Taking positive control Pos as an example:
the 96-well plate was discarded, the solution was dried on filter paper, and 100. Mu.L of diluted pMHC complex monomer was added to the 96-well plate.
Negative control Neg, UV control, experimental, monomer and Blank groups were equally treated and added to 96-well plates.
Cover the plate and incubate for 1h at 37 ℃. After the incubation, the 96-well plate was washed 3 times with washing buffer, followed by addition of 100. Mu.L of diluted HRP-anti-. Beta.2M (antibody BioLegend, cat#280303, U.S. Pat. No.), further incubation at 37℃for 1h, and washing after the incubation was completed.
To each well was then added 100. Mu.L of substrate solution (10.34 mL of deionized water, 1.2mL of citric acid monohydrate/trisodium citrate dihydrate at pH 4.0,0.1M, 240. Mu.L of 40nM ABTS, 120. Mu.L of hydrogen peroxide solution) and developed for 8min with shaking (400-500 rpm) in the dry dark at room temperature (18-25 ℃).
The reaction was stopped using 50. Mu.L Stop Solution (2% oxalic acid dihydrate, w/v). Absorbance (OD) was measured at 414nm using a microplate reader over 30min.
2. Experimental results
The relative OD values of the UV control group, the positive control group Pos, the influence control group Neg and the experimental group are calculated by taking the OD value of the Monomer group as 100%, and the ratio value represents the formation of pMHC tetramer of each tumor antigen epitope peptide. If the relative OD value is greater than that of the UV control group, it is judged that pMHC tetramers can be formed.
The results are shown in fig. 3, which shows: the relative OD values of the MAGE-A4-Mp14 and MAGE-A4-Mp22 complex groups were significantly reduced compared to the UV control group, and the remaining groups were significantly elevated (P < 0.001). The results illustrate: the 31 candidate tumor T cell epitope peptides can form pMHC tetramer complexes except MAGE-A4-Mp14 and MAGE-A4-Mp22, and the rest 29 candidate tumor T cell epitope peptides are potential candidate epitope peptides which can cause specific immune response.

Example 4 detection of peripheral blood epitope peptide-specific cytotoxic T cells in clinical patients
1. Experimental method
Mononuclear lymphocytes (PBMCs) in peripheral venous blood of non-small cell cancer (NSCLC) patients and healthy humans are isolated and HLA subtypes thereof are identified.
Samples of PBMCs in which HLA-A2 was positive were stained with the pMHC tetramer complex and CD8-APC antibody obtained in example 3 and then flow-on-machine observed.
2. Experimental results
The flow type on-machine observation result diagram is shown in fig. 7, and the result shows that the antigen specific CD8+ T cells generated in NSCLC patients can be identified by the pMHC complex of tumor T cell epitope peptides MAGE-A3-MP4 (SEQ ID NO: 1), MAGE-A10-MP30 (SEQ ID NO: 2) and MAGE-A10-MP32 (SEQ ID NO: 3) in 3 with the amino acid sequences shown in SEQ ID NO 1-3, and the antigen specific CD8+ T cells are remarkably increased compared with healthy people; the results illustrate: in NSCLC patients, there are specific killer CD8+ T cells with three antigen epitope peptides of MAGE-A3-Mp4 (SEQ ID NO: 1), MAGE-A10-Mp30 (SEQ ID NO: 2) and MAGE-A10-Mp32 (SEQ ID NO: 3) generating immune responses
