Description

Method for improving NK cell differentiation efficiency
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of biological medicines, in particular to a method for improving NK cell differentiation efficiency.
Background
Immune cell therapy is of great importance in tumor therapy. Natural killer cells (Nature KILLER CELLS, NK) are taken as main cells for clearing cancerated cells in healthy human bodies, have remarkable anticancer effect, and have important significance on hematological tumors such as acute leukemia and solid tumors such as liver cancer. Compared to the currently more mature chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CHIMERIC ANTIGEN receptor T cells, CAR-T), T cell therapy has serious side effects such as neurotoxicity and "cytokine storm" (cytokine release syndrome, CRS), patient's disease is dangerous, and the prognosis is poor [Schubert,M.L.,et al.,Side-effect management of chimeric antigen receptor(CAR)T-cell therapy.Ann Oncol,2021.32(1):p.34-48.]. In contrast, NK cells have higher safety, and clinical trials have not reported that the subsequent NK cell treatment produces serious side effects [Miller,J.S.,et al.,Successful adoptive transfer and in vivo expansion of human haploidentical NK cells in patien ts with cancer.Blood,2005.105(8):p.3051-7. And Romee,R.,et al.,Cytokine-induced memory-like natural killer cells exhibit enhanced responses against myeloid leukemia.Sci Transl Med,2016.8(357):p.357ra123.] such as graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) and CRS. Meanwhile, NK cells function without MHC restriction, which determines that the application range of NK cells is wider than that of T cells [VIVIER,E.,et al.,Innate or Adaptive Immunity?The Example of Natural Killer Cells.Science(American Association for the Advancement of Science),2011.331 (6013):p.44-49.] in the future.
At present, clinical tests adopt NK cells separated and amplified from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of healthy people, the donor source is insufficient, the NK cells provided by one donor can only treat one patient and the like, the individual differences exist, the large-scale and standardization are difficult to achieve, and the evaluation of the prognosis of the patient is difficult [Passweg,J.R.,et al.,Purified donor NK-lymphocyte infusion to consolidate engraftment after haploidentical stem cell transplantation.Leukemia,2004.18(11):p.1835-8.]. The above problems place new demands on NK cells that provide adequate doses and have anti-tumor activity. NK cells are obtained by differentiating human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC), and then a large number of NK cells (iPS-NK) with cytotoxicity and secretion activity are obtained by amplification, so that the problems of insufficient source of NK donors and standardized cell functions can be effectively solved, and the method is favorable for making clinical diagnosis and treatment schemes and prognosis evaluation of patients. Therefore, a scheme for obtaining a large number of NK cells by in vitro induction by utilizing the hiPSCs is developed, and the method has important application value and significance.
At present, the induction scheme of the hiPSC to NK cell differentiation established in laboratories at home and abroad mainly comprises the following steps: (1) Embryo (EB) differentiation; (2) bone marrow stromal cells co-culture differentiation method. NK cells can be obtained by both of the above differentiation methods. The NK cell differentiation from EB to NK cell better simulates the cell and physicochemical microenvironment required by in vivo NK differentiation, and the NK cell induced by EB in vitro test has good cytotoxicity to various tumor cells. But the EB differentiation process generates cells with complex types, which is unfavorable for the mass acquisition and subsequent clinical application of NK cells. In addition, the differentiation period of EB to NK cells is long, generally, the hiPSCs need to induce EB for 1 week and then differentiate for 4-5 weeks to obtain NK cells, and the technology difficulty is high and the cost is high. Although both of the above methods can finally differentiate to obtain NK cells, the differentiation efficiency is low, resulting in high production costs of NK cells. In view of this, the present invention provides a method for improving NK cell differentiation efficiency.
