Description

Nucleic acid and application thereof in preparation of antitumor drugs
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of immunotherapy, in particular to a nucleic acid fragment and application thereof in preparing anti-tumor drugs.
Background
The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present disclosure and may not necessarily constitute prior art.
T cell depletion (T cell exhaustion) is a major mechanism of tumor immune tolerance and escape and is also a significant cause of the inability of cellular immunotherapy to be widely used. Studies have demonstrated that immune checkpoints that are abnormally high expressed on the surface of immune cells can induce T cell depletion through a variety of mechanisms. Immune checkpoints are a class of molecules expressed on the surface of immune cells. Normally, these immune checkpoints are used to maintain the body's autoimmune tolerance, preventing T cells from attacking its own cells. However, during the course of tumorigenesis, tumor cells can up-regulate the expression level of immune checkpoints in T cells by releasing some cytokines and recruiting suppressive immune cells, and then after the immune checkpoints and corresponding ligands are combined, the depletion of T cells is induced by influencing the ways of cell proliferation, cytokine secretion, metabolism and the like, and finally tumor immune tolerance and escape are caused.
Inhibitors of immune checkpoints such as PD-1, PD-L1 and CTLA-4 are clinically used for treating some cancer patients which do not respond to traditional chemotherapy, radiotherapy and targeted therapy, and certain curative effects are achieved. However, a large number of clinical trials have shown that only a fraction of patients with non-small cell lung cancer and melanoma types of cancer respond well to immune checkpoint therapy, while most types of cancer patients cannot benefit, including bladder cancer.
In addition, there are many cancer patients who exhibit primary or secondary therapeutic tolerance to immune checkpoint therapy and develop different types of autoimmune disease, probably due to: 1. when a single immune checkpoint inhibitor is used, other immune checkpoints are not inhibited, and the immune checkpoints still have immune inhibition function on T cells; 2. off-target effect of immune checkpoint inhibitors. Therefore, the research and development of the preparation capable of simultaneously regulating and controlling the expression of various immune checkpoints has good application prospect.
NEAT1 (nuclear paraspeckle assembly transcript 1), a long non-coding RNA, up-regulates expression in a variety of human tumor cells. Several studies have shown that elevation of NEAT1 in cancer cells promotes cell growth, migration and invasion, and inhibits apoptosis, and several papers have disclosed the feedback role of NEAT 1/miRNA/target networks in various cancer progression. However, the role of the NEAT1 in the tumor microenvironment has not been clarified so far, and in particular, the function of the NEAT1 in different cancers has not been clarified; there are thus very few treatments for cancer.

The working principle of the plasmid used in the invention is as follows:
CRISPR/Cas9 is one of the most flexible systems in genomic regulatory technology. The system has two main components: guide RNA (gRNA) and endonuclease (Cas 9). The main function of Cas9 is to cleave DNA, depending on the two active regions RuvC1 and HNH in its protein structure. dCas9 (read Cas 9) is a mutant of Cas9 protein, whose cleavage enzyme activity is lost due to simultaneous mutation of both RuvC1 and HNH nuclease active regions of Cas9, retaining only the ability to be guided by gRNA into the genome. At present, the CRISPR-dCAS9 system has been widely applied to aspects of gene regulation, genome imaging, epigenetic regulation and the like. In mammalian cells, fusion of dCas9 with VP64 or p65 activation domain (p 65 AD) can activate both reporter and endogenous genes under conditions of only one sgRNA guide. After fusion of dCas9 with a typical transcriptional activator VP64, the complex is generally capable of recruiting transcription factors that regulate mammalian cell transcription when dCas9-VP64 is targeted to the promoter sequence of a target gene via gRNA. However, the use of multiple sgrnas to achieve significant activation of the source gene remains necessary; the difference of the targeted areas of the sgrnas leads to different degrees of regulation of downstream genes or different amounts of regulation of downstream genes, and further leads to the occurrence of differences in surface expression, so it is important to design a reasonable sgRNA to realize multiple regulation of target genes.
Different immune cells have different activities and physiological characteristics:
TILs are immune cells existing in the tumor microenvironment, mainly comprising cytotoxic T cells, helper T cells, regulatory T cells, B cells and the like, wherein the cells are derived from lymphocyte immune cells, belong to adaptive immune cells and mainly play a role in eliminating tumor cells by secreting cytokines.
Macrophages are derived from myeloid immune cells, which are indigenous immune cells, and have a major role in phagocytizing dead cells and cell debris, immune complexes, bacteria and other waste products.
The invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the following specific examples, which should be construed as illustrative rather than limiting.
Example 1
1. Design of nucleic acid fragments
In the invention, 2 nucleic acid fragments are designed aiming at the NEAT1 gene, and single-stranded nucleotide sequences of the nucleic acid fragments are respectively shown as SEQ ID NO. 1-2.
sgRNA3(SEQ ID NO.1):ATAGCCCTCAGCCGCGTCAC
sgRNA5(SEQ ID NO.2):GTCATCGGCCGAGCCCGACT
The NEAT1 gene, NCBI gene accession number is: gene ID 283131.
2. And (3) constructing a carrier:
the experimental principle is that 2 single-stranded primers form double chains through annealing reaction, then are assembled through T4 DNAl ligase in a connecting method, small sgRNA fragments are built into a target vector, E.coli Stbl3 competent cells are transformed, colony PCR is used for screening transformants, positive clones are sent to sequence, and positive clones are determined through sequence comparison.
1) Primer annealing
A. Primer 2136-F: caccGTCATCGGCCGAGCCCGACT and primer 2136-R: aaacAGTCGGGCTCGGCCGATGAC anneals to form a double-stranded structure, designated sasgRNA5 (NEAT 1).
B. Primer 2137-F: caccGATAGCCCTCAGCCGCGTCAC and primer 2137-R: aaacGTGACGCGGCTGAGGGCTATC anneals to form a double-stranded structure, designated SasgRNA3 (NEAT 1).
2) Insertion of sgRNA small fragments into linearized expression vectors
BsaI digestion vector LV-CMV-NLS-dSaCas9-NLS-VPR-U6-sgRNA (Wohyotakumi) was recovered and ligated with the annealing primer obtained in step 1) using T4 ligase.
E.coli Stbl3 competent cells were then transformed with U6-F: gagggcctatttcccatgattcc and WPRE-R: CCGCTTCAGCGGTCGC colony PCR was performed, correct colony sequencing was identified, and correctly sequenced colonies were saved. Plasmids were extracted for subsequent experiments.
The obtained plasmid was designated LV-2136 and the sequence of ligation of the elements was as follows: LV-CMV-SV40NLS-dSaCas9-HA-2 XSV-NLS-VPR-nEF. Alpha. -Puro-T2A-EGFP-U6-sasgRNA5 (NEAT 1) -WPRE, all the other element sequences except sasgRNA5 (NEAT 1) are disclosed in the prior art, and the plasmid map is shown in FIG. 2A.
The obtained plasmid was named LV-2137, the sequence of elements was as follows, LV-CMV-SV40NLS-dSaCas9-HA-2 XSV-NLS-VPR-nEF. Alpha. -Puro-T2A-EGFP-U6-SasgRNA 3 (NEAT 1) -WPRE, the sequence of all the elements except SasgRNA3 (NEAT 1) was published in the prior art, and the plasmid map was shown in FIG. 2B.
3. Obtaining a host cell
LV-2136 and LV-2137 were transferred into TILs, respectively, to ensure a multiplicity of infection (multiplicity of infection, MOI) of 1. The subsequent examples refer to this standard.
Example two
TILs and autologous tumor cells were first isolated from bladder cancer tissue (Autologous tumor cells), then incubated in a 37 ℃ cell incubator containing 5% carbon dioxide for 48 hours, the supernatant was assayed for IFN- γ and IL-2 content using an ELISA kit, and the CCK8 kit was used to detect proliferation of tumor cells after 24 and 48 hours of incubation. The results in FIGS. 3A and B show that most of the isolated TILs in bladder cancer tissue are unable to stimulate secretion of IFN-gamma and IL-2 by autologous tumor cells. The results in fig. 3C show that TILs are unable to inhibit proliferation of tumor cells. These results indicate that TILs in bladder cancer tissue are not able to kill autologous tumor cells because they are in a depleted state.
Example III
TILs in bladder cancer tissues and mononuclear lymphocytes in peripheral blood (peripheral blood mononuclear cell, PBMCs) were isolated and expression levels of net 1 in TILs and PBMCs were detected using a real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR experiment. The results in fig. 4 show that in these depleted TILs, long non-coding nucleic acid net 1 is significantly under-expressed.
Example IV
After transfer of LV-2136 and LV-2137 plasmids into TILs for 24 and 48 hours, respectively, the expression level of NEAT1 in TILs was detected using a real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR assay. FIG. 5 shows that NEAT1-gRNA3 and NEAT1-gRNA5 significantly increased the expression level of NEAT1 in TILs. It was demonstrated that NEAT1-gRNA3 and NEAT1-gRNA5 nucleic acid fragments successfully targeted NEAT1 and regulated NEAT1 gene expression.
Example five
After transferring LV-2136 and LV-2137 plasmids into TILs for 48 hours, respectively, the expression level of immune checkpoints in TILs was detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR experiments. FIG. 6 shows that NEAT1-gRNA3 and NEAT1-gRNA5 nucleic acid fragments significantly reduced the expression levels of immune checkpoints PD-1, CTLA-4, TIGIT, and LAG3 in TILs.
Example six
After transferring LV-2136 and LV-2137 plasmids into TILs for 48 hours, respectively, proliferation of the TILs was detected using CCK8 kit. FIG. 7 shows that NEAT1-gRNA3 and NEAT1-gRNA5 nucleic acid fragments can promote proliferation of TILs.
Example seven
After transferring LV-2136 and LV-2137 plasmids into TILs for 48 hours, respectively, the content of IFN-gamma and IL-2 in the supernatant was detected by ELISA kit. FIG. 8 shows that NEAT1-gRNA3 and NEAT1-gRNA5 nucleic acid fragments can promote the secretion of cytokines IFN-gamma and IL-2 by TILs.
Example eight
After transferring LV-2136 and LV-2137 plasmids into TILs for 24 hours, respectively, the plasmids were incubated with bladder cancer cells in vitro for 24 and 48 hours, and then proliferation of the bladder cancer cells was detected by using CCK8 kit.
