Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of T cell immunotherapy medicaments, and particularly relates to HLA-A1101 restricted epitope peptide, a targeting epitope peptide TCR and application thereof.
Background
With the progress of research in the biomedical field, target selection of T cell immunotherapy targeting malignant solid tumors is evolving continuously, from initial lineage antigens to viral antigens, and with the recent advent of high throughput sequencing technology, targeted tumor individual mutations are called new generation T cell therapy focused targets.
T cell therapy currently includes mainly TCR-T and CAR-T therapeutic approaches. The existing CAR-T technology has remarkable effect in treating hematoma such as leukemia, lymphoma and the like, and greatly improves the survival rate and the survival quality of patients, but aiming at solid tumors, the CAR-T treatment means has limited application prospect due to limited specific targets at present. TCR-T technology differs from CAR-T cell technology in that TCRs are characteristic markers on the surface of all T cells, binding to CD3 non-covalently to form a TCR-CD3 complex. In peripheral blood, 90% -95% of T cells express TCR, and the T cells of the genetically modified TCR can specifically identify antigen molecules on the surface of tumor cells so as to generate immune response to the tumor cells.
Currently, in human cancers, the PIK3CA gene is one of oncogenes in the oncology field, and the gene mutation frequency of PIK3CA is approximately 44.5% in endometrial cancer, approximately 30.7% in breast cancer, approximately 23.6% in cervical cancer, approximately 24.7% in colorectal cancer, approximately 20.4% in bladder cancer, approximately 13.6% in head and neck cancer, approximately 13.0% in esophageal and gastric cancer, and the like, and in addition to the above cancers, the gene mutation of PIK3CA also occurs in gliomas, non-small cell cancers, glioblastomas, cholangiocarcinomas, melanomas, seminomas, hepatobiliary carcinomas, sarcomas, pancreatic cancers, pleural mesothelioma, prostate cancer, ovarian epithelial cell tumors, renal clear cell carcinoma, adrenocortical carcinoma kidney, non-clear cell carcinoma, thyroid cancer, and the like (see fig. 1).
At present, the binding capacity of wild PIK3CA and MHC is weak, the formed antigen peptide-MHC complex (pMHC) is unstable, and a better T cell killing site cannot be formed.

Fourth TCR:
the fourth TCR comprises any one of the following three groups: (a) An alpha chain encoded by the sequence shown in SEQ ID NO. 15 and a beta chain encoded by the sequence shown in SEQ ID NO. 16; (b) An alpha chain encoded by the sequence shown in SEQ ID NO. 33 and a beta chain encoded by the sequence shown in SEQ ID NO. 34; (c) An alpha chain encoded by the sequence shown in SEQ ID NO. 51 and a beta chain encoded by the sequence shown in SEQ ID NO. 52.
The FR regions of the fourth TCR belonging to the first, second and third TCRs are selected from the preferred sequences for the corresponding FRs.
It should be noted that the TCR described above can recognize only tumor cells at pik3ca—h1047l site, and perform tumor-specific killing, and does not recognize wild-type human normal tissues.
In the TCR, the CDR3 of the α chain and the β chain belongs to the hypervariable region of the variable region, and when the TCR recognizes the MHC-antigen peptide complex, the CDR3 directly binds to the antigen peptide, and directly affects the recognition ability of the TCR to pik3ca—h1047l mutation. In the hypervariable regions of the α and β chains of the TCR, two hypervariable regions of CDR1 and CDR2 are also included, the CDR1 and CDR2 hypervariable regions being relatively stable with respect to CDR3, and when the TCR recognizes MHC-antigen peptide complexes, the CDR1 and CDR2 two hypervariable regions recognize and bind to the side walls of the MHC molecule antigen binding groove.
The FRs (FR 1, FR2, FR3 and FR 4) in the three TCRs are framework regions for connecting with the CDR regions and are relatively stable. The FR regions in the first, second and third TCRs may be selected from sequences other than those described above, and may be selected from sequences having greater than or equal to 80% identity to the FR1, FR2, FR3 and FR4 sequences of the three TCRs, such as greater than or equal to 80%, 85%, 90% or 95%, from murine sources or from human sources (although other sources such as animal sources such as rabbit sources, porcine sources, etc. are not excluded). In certain embodiments, the sequences of the FR regions and CDR regions of the α and β chains described above can be arranged according to FR1-CDR1-FR2-CDR2-FR3-CDR3-FR4 to form, respectively, the α and β chain variable regions of a TCR, e.g., in a first TCR, the sequence encoding the α chain variable region is shown as SEQ ID NO. 15 and the sequence encoding the β chain variable region is shown as SEQ ID NO. 16; in the second TCR, the sequence encoding the variable region of the alpha chain is shown in SEQ ID NO. 33 and the sequence encoding the variable region of the beta chain is shown in SEQ ID NO. 34; in the third TCR, the sequence encoding the variable region of the alpha chain is shown in SEQ ID NO. 51 and the sequence encoding the variable region of the beta chain is shown in SEQ ID NO. 52.
The TCR may include an α chain constant region and a β chain constant region in addition to the α chain variable region and the β chain variable region described above, and the source of the α chain constant region and the β chain constant region may be a murine source, a human source or a human-mouse chimeric (but other sources such as animal sources such as rabbit sources and pig sources are not excluded), or a region in which mutation hardly occurs.

In the embodiment of the invention, the NetMHCV4.1 predicts that the H1047L mutation site of the PIK3CA gene may have immunogenicity (polypeptide sequence capable of activating T cells to generate immunoreactivity), and the PIK3CA_H21047L is artificially synthesized 1046-1054 Mutant polypeptides (SEQ ID N)O: 56) and PIK3CA_H21047) 1046-1054 Wild-type polypeptide (SEQ ID NO: 55); the TAP1 gene of the K562 cell line (TAP 1 gene (TransporterAssociatedwithAntigen Processing, TAP 1) was then knocked out using CRISPR-Cas9 technology (ref. T cells discriminate between groups C and C2 HLA-C, malcolm J W Sim. T., zachary Stotz, jinghua Lu, paul Brennan, eric O Long, peter D Sun. Times.), which encodes a protein called TAP1, which is a transporter, delivers endogenously produced antigen fragments (usually peptide chains) from the cytoplasm to the endoplasmic reticulum, and then binds to MHC-I type molecules, and the deleted cells fail to normally present antigen fragments such that MHC-I molecules expressed to the cell membrane surface do not exist stably), to construct a TAP1 gene knocked-out K562 cell model.
The binding capacity of peptides to MHC was further tested using TAP1 knock-out K562 cell model with different mutant peptide fragments and TAP1-KO-A11-K562 of subtype HLA-A 11:01. The results are shown in FIG. 2, and show that HLA-A 11:01 molecules can be combined with mutant PIK3CA_H21047L 1046-1054 Wild-type pik3ca_h1047 1046-1054 The complex is formed and expressed on the surface of the cell membrane. Wherein the mutant PIK3CA_H21047L 1046-1054 The binding force of (C) is obviously increased compared with that of a wild type. The above results demonstrate that the predicted PIK3CA mutant sequences can bind to HLA-A x 11:01 subtype and form stable antigen peptide-MHC complex (pMHC), and that the mutated sequences have better pMHC stability compared to the wild type, suggesting that it is possible to activate T cells and be a more desirable target.
