Description

CD3 epsilon and GPC3 dual-specificity T cell adapter and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of biological medicine, in particular to a CD3 epsilon and GPC3 dual-specificity T cell adapter and application thereof.
Background
Chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CHIMERIC ANTIGEN receptor-Tcell, CAR-T) are prepared by chimeric single-chain variable domain fragments (scFv) with T cell surface receptors on T cells, thereby allowing T cells to recognize tumor cells independent of major histocompatibility complex I (major histocompatibility complexI, mhc I), and then purifying, amplifying and activating in vitro, and infusing back CAR-T cells into patients, thereby allowing them to specifically exert the function of killing tumor cells. The CAR vector is mainly composed of 3 parts: an antigen binding domain, a transmembrane region, and an intracellular signaling region.
In CAR-T molecules, the intracellular signaling domain plays an important role. The effect of co-stimulation of CARs in CAR engineering is of great concern, with the goal of generating CAR constructs with optimal intracellular domains. Both of the two most common FDA-approved co-stimulatory domains CD28 and 4-1BB (CD 137) are associated with higher patient response rates. There was a difference in CD28 and 4-1BB functions. CD28 mainly promotes CAR-T proliferation, enhancing effector functions, especially cytokine production. 4-1BB promotes survival and increases retention time in CAR-T. Clinical results indicate that the CAR-T cells have great advantages in treating hematological malignancies.
The selection of tumor targets is a key factor in determining success or failure of CAR-T treatment, and the selected tumor-specific antigens need to be highly expressed in tumor tissues but not expressed or at very low expression levels in important tissues.
Glypican-3 (GPC 3) is a member of the family of heparan sulfate glycoproteins (heparan sulfate proteoglycans, HSPG), the GPC3 protein consists of 580 amino acids and has a relative molecular mass of about 70kDa. GPC3 is expressed abundantly in fetuses, whereas it is not expressed or expressed in very low amounts in most tissues of healthy adults. In contrast, immunohistochemical staining of tumor tissue in 147 HCC patients found that up to 87% (128/147) samples were GPC3 positive. Numerous documents indicate that GPC3 is an important index for HCC diagnosis and prognosis effect evaluation, and is also an ideal target for HCC treatment.
Bispecific T cell adaptors (bispecific T-CELL ENGAGER, biTE) represent a class of bispecific antibodies with remarkable anti-tumor effects, which are capable of targeted activation of self T cells to kill tumor cells. BiTE consists of two single-chain variable fragments (scFv) connected in series by a flexible linker. One scFv recognizes the T cell surface protein CD3 epsilon, while the other scFv recognizes a specific tumor cell surface antigen. This structure of BiTE and the ability to specifically bind proteins allows it to physically bridge T cells to tumor cells to form T cell-BiTE-tumor cell complexes, induce immune synapse formation, stimulate T cell activation, and produce cytokines that kill tumors. In recent years, biTE has been significantly advanced in anti-tumor studies, and clinically, an ideal therapeutic effect has been achieved.
Conventional scFv are generally designed according to the following principles:
1. Extracting a variable region fragment Fv of the IgG antibody according to the sequence, wherein the variable region fragment Fv comprises two peptide chains, namely a heavy chain variable region VH and a light chain variable region VL;
2. Linking VH and VL together through a linker to form a single peptide chain (VH-VL or VL-VH);
3. (Gly 4Ser)3 is one of the most commonly used connecting peptides at present, which is soft but the prior art has the following defects that 1) (G 4S)3 connecting peptide is too short, so that the spatial conformation of the connected scFv is far away from that of a natural antibody structure, and 2) the existing scFv targeting GPC3 has limited killing effect on tumor cells.
Disclosure of Invention

3) The following day, the complete medium was changed and after 48h, screened with puromycin (final concentration 2. Mu.g/mL);
example 5: stable expression cell strain selection:
1) After 72h, adding puromycin with a final concentration of 2 mug/mL for culturing for 24h, changing to normal culture medium if the cell confluency is lower than 30%, culturing until the cell confluency is higher than 30%, changing to fresh culture medium with a concentration of 8 mug/mL puromycin (10% FBS, 100IU/mL penicillin, 100 mug/mL streptomycin and 8 mug/mL DMEM culture medium) for culturing and screening for 2 weeks; if the cell confluency is not less than 30%, 2 mug/mL puromycin fresh medium is used for continuous culture screening for 2 weeks;
2) The obtained CHO-K1 cell lines stably expressing pLVX-mαGPC3 xαCD3-Ctrl and pLVX-mαGPC3 xαCD3-Exp1 were frozen at-80℃for use.
Example 6: the effect of expressed antibodies on T cell killing capacity was studied:
mice Hepa 1-6 were labeled with 1 μ L CELL TRACKER Violet and tumor cells after labeling were incubated overnight at 37 ℃. After obtaining peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PERIPHERAL BLOOD MONOCYTE CELL, PBMC) from mice, enriched lymphocytes were incubated overnight at 37℃at a concentration of 1X 10 6/mL, and adherent cells were removed the next day, at which time the cells were ready for use in subsequent co-culture experiments. Target cells were co-incubated with adherent cell depleted PBMCs [ effector cells: target (E: T) cell ratio, 1:1,4:1, 10:1]. After the co-culture is completed, the upper layer of suspended lymphocytes are discarded, PBS is used for washing, and the attached target cells are digested by pancreatin and then subjected to flow cytometry analysis, as shown in FIG. 5, it can be seen from FIG. 5 that mαGPC3 xαCD3-Exp1 shows a tumor cell killing effect similar to mαGPC3 xαCD3-Ctrl.
The IFN-gamma content released by lymphocytes in PBMC is detected by ELISA kit, the operation steps are described by referring to the Eboltag kit (Cat: RK 00019), the TNF-alpha content released by lymphocytes in PBMC is detected by ELISA kit, the operation steps are described by referring to the Eboltag kit (Cat: RK 00027), and after mαGPC3 xαCD3-Exp1 treatment, more IFN-gamma is released by PBMC than after mαGPC3 xαCD3-Ctrl treatment as shown in FIG. 6; after mαGPC3 xαCD3-Exp1 treatment, the PBMC released TNF- α content was comparable to that of the mαGPC3 xαCD3-Ctrl treated group as shown in FIG. 7. From the cellular level, it was verified that mαGPC3 xαCD3-Exp1 exhibited cell killing ability comparable to that of conventional mαGPC3 xαCD3-Ctrl.
Example 7: treatment effect detection
1. Mice weight detection:
In situ plasmid injection is schematically shown in FIG. 8 (cell inoculation 6X 10 5/mouse, plasmid injection (40. Mu.g/mouse), time to kill mice, etc.); day 0 each mouse was inoculated with 6 x 10 5 Hepa 1-6 liver cancer cells, day 2 mice were injected with 40 μg plasmid, and 1h post-plasmid injection was shocked with a Datura-brand electric needle for 3min to assist plasmid nucleation (continuous wave, 5Hz, intensity 3).
2. Tumor volume detection in mice:
Tumor volume was measured every two days during animal experiments, and tumor growth curves of tumor-bearing mice were plotted, and it can be seen from fig. 9 that tumor growth of tumor-bearing mice was inhibited after mαgpc3×αcd3-Exp1 treatment, and the therapeutic effect was not significantly different from mαgpc3×αcd3-Ctrl.
3. Median survival of mice:
Counting the death time of the mice, and judging whether each treatment scheme prolongs the service life of the mice; tumor-bearing mice, which had tumor volumes exceeding 1500mm3 or mice died, were considered the experimental endpoint and tumor-bearing mice were plotted for survival, as shown in fig. 10, showing comparable survival rates after treatment with mαgpc3×αcd3-Exp1 plasmid as after treatment with mαgpc3×αcd3-Ctrl plasmid.
The foregoing is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and any person skilled in the art who is skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains will appreciate that the technical scheme and the inventive concept according to the present invention are equally substituted or changed within the scope of the present invention.
