Definitions
- the present invention relates to a non-clinical test method for evaluating the efficacy or side effects of a drug or a candidate substance thereof performed using a laboratory animal.
- a model animal produced by transplanting human cancer (tumor) cells or tissues into a laboratory animal for example, a tumor bearing mouse produced using a mouse as an experimental animal, May be used as an experimental system that reproduces.
- tumor-bearing mice cultured cells derived from tumor cells removed from patients are transplanted into cells and grown in mice, and tumor tissues or tumor cells removed from patients are used.
- a patient tumor tissue-transplanted mouse or the like prepared by planting in a mouse and growing in the mouse is known.

- mice derived from cancer patients with various properties can be prepared, it is possible to find effective patient profiles by comparative evaluation.
- Cultured cancer cell transplanted mice can be produced using cells that have been stabilized by culturing in a test tube and can be easily transplanted into mice, and thus have been established as experimental animals. Mice transplanted with the cloned cells are suitable for a test in which clonal elements are inherited and tumor-bearing mice with small individual differences are desired to be used.
- a patient tumor tissue-transplanted mouse is produced by directly implanting a tumor tissue (tumor part) or tumor cell taken out from a patient into the mouse.
- a patient tumor tissue-transplanted mouse prepared by planting a tumor tissue derived from a patient (human) into an acquired immunodeficient mouse and growing it in a body such as a mouse for a certain period of time is PDX (Patient-derived tumor xenograft (patient-derived tumor xenograft) One piece)) It is called a model mouse.

However, depending on the patient and the type of protein, the trait changes greatly from the original patient specimen. Various aspects are shown, such as those that do not, and those that gradually change with passage (see Figure IV-3, for example).
- the experimental animal of the PDX model inherits the genetic information of the tumor by passage, it has not been cloned as much as the cultured cancer cell transplantation model, and thus tumor cells are not found between the primary PDX model animal and the passaged PDX model animal. These traits are not necessarily completely maintained, and even individual PDX model animals of the same strain will vary from individual to individual.
- Non-Patent Document 1 the expression level of protein in tumor tissue of PDX model mice is evaluated by the IHC (immunohistochemistry) method.

- an enzyme-labeled antibody is bound to a target protein (antigen) by a direct method or an indirect method, and then a substrate is reacted to develop a color, for example, a DAB staining method using peroxidase and diaminobenzidine. It was common to use.
- staining with an enzyme such as DAB staining in the IHC method has a problem in that it is difficult to accurately estimate the amount of an actual antigen or the like from the staining concentration because the staining concentration greatly depends on environmental conditions such as temperature and time. There is.
- the evaluation is often expressed by a score of several stages based on the staining concentration and the like, which is close to qualitative evaluation rather than quantitative.
- Non-Patent Document 1 In present, in the study of academia, as in Non-Patent Document 1, only the qualitative analysis of protein expression level in the tumor tissue of patients and PDX mice by the IHC (immunohistochemistry) method is performed. In addition, mouse providers and contract research companies have little interest in accurately evaluating protein expression levels. It can be said that the technical significance of quantitatively and accurately grasping the protein expression level in the tumor tissue and the like of PDX mice is not yet known.

- Various techniques have been tried, including pre-administration. Among these, a place where a tumor is transplanted varies greatly depending on the place, the state of the tumor-bearing animal after preparation and the state of the tumor. The place of transplantation can be roughly classified into subcutaneous transplantation and orthotopic transplantation (a tumor generated in one organ is transplanted into the same organ of a donor animal).
- the former can be visually confirmed as the transplanted tumor grows gradually, it can be used for testing after confirming that it has become a certain size, and it is usually easy to handle. It is an option.
- the environment where the tumor originally occurred and the transplantation site (subcutaneous) are greatly different, there is a risk that a coating is formed around the tumor or that the tumor does not grow due to slow blood vessel formation.

- the brightness (luminance, fluorescence intensity) of one bright spot is measured separately for each fluorescent nanoparticle.
- the number of fluorescent nanoparticles contained in the bright spot can be calculated by dividing by the brightness of the light, and the number of particles may be used as an index value for the expression level of the target protein.
- (Iii) When creating a histogram represented by the expression level of the target protein per cell and the number of cells corresponding thereto, first, as in (i), a specific region included in the entire image or in the image The number of bright spots or particles representing the target protein expressed is determined for each individual cell contained in (for example, only tumor tissue). Then, the expression level of the target protein per cell is divided into predetermined numbers on the horizontal axis (for example, as in the examples described in this specification, 1 to 300 is expressed every 20 A histogram can be created by measuring the number of cells (frequency) corresponding to each division and taking it on the vertical axis.
- the profile may include information other than information related to cells expressing the target protein, such as blood vessel occupancy in a specimen (for example, a tumor tissue or a tumor part).
- a quantitative method means a profile including the above-described profile, in particular, the amount of protein expression, the number of expressed cells, and the area occupied by the expressed cells in the tissue. Is identified using a “quantitative” rather than “qualitative” approach.
- the “qualitative” method correlates with the expression level of the protein and the number of expressed cells, but does not directly handle those numbers or index values closely related to them, but within a predetermined range.
- a certain number or index value is collectively expressed as one score, and such a score is about several, for example, about 2 to 5, and is typically based on the subjective and empirical factors of the observer Say.
- an IHC method using HER2 protein expressed in cell membranes such as breast cancer cells and using DAB staining which is 3+ (strongly completely complete based on the staining property and staining intensity (staining pattern) of cancer cell membranes.
- the technique used in Non-Patent Document 1 page 20527, Figure 3 to express the protein expression level with a four-stage score based on the stained image by the IHC method is also a “qualitative” technique.
- the “quantitative” method directly deals with the expression level of the protein, the number of expressed cells, or index values closely related to them, and typically relies on the objective measurement result using the apparatus.
- a technique Typically, fluorescent nanoparticles, that is, quantum dots (not integrated), or particles in which fluorescent materials such as fluorescent dyes and quantum dots are integrated as a base material (phosphor integrated particles, Phosphor Integrated Dot : PID), a method of labeling and quantifying the target protein using particles having a nano-sized diameter is used.
- the quantitative method (also referred to as “PID method” in the present specification) performed using phosphor-aggregated particles, which is also employed in the examples of the present specification, is the “quantitative method” used in the present invention.
- This method is particularly suitable.

CD140aは、線維芽細胞、巨核球、単球、赤血球、骨髄系前駆細胞、内皮細胞などの細胞表面に発現する膜タンパク質であり、間質細胞マーカーとして用いられる。PDXマウスの腫瘍組織におけるCD140aの発現量の測定を行なうことによりマウスを選別し、さらに選別されたマウスにおける抗がん剤の薬効の判定を行った。
実施例1で用いたものと同様の6名の患者(A~F)それぞれの乳がん組織(体積約200mm3)を移植したPDXマウスを各5匹ずつ購入した。このPDXマウスを飼育していき、腫瘍を3日ないし4日おきに計測して腫瘍体積が500mm3となったところでメスを用いて腫瘍組織を摘出した。
上記のように作製したPDXマウスの腫瘍組織の約3mm角の切片を用いて、実施例1と同様の方法で標本スライドを作製し、賦活化およびブロッキング処理を行った。
これらの選別された各3匹のPDXマウスに、実施例1と同様にラパチニブ(商品名:タイケルブ)100mg/kgを1日2回、計42回静脈内投与し、初回投与前および初回投与から21日後の腫瘍体積を計測するとともに、各タイミングで凍結針を用いて、組織切片を採取した。採取した組織切片は、実施例1と同様の手法を用いて、HER2タンパク質を目的タンパク質とする発現量の定量のために使用した。
結果は実施例1と同様に、HER2タンパク質のPIDスコアが大きなPDXマウスほど、ラバチニブ投与により腫瘍サイズが大きく減少し、ラパチニブの薬効(腫瘍サイズの減少効果)が大きくなる傾向が確認された。
獲得免疫不全マウスにヒトの造血幹細胞を移植することにより作製された造血リンパ系ヒト化マウス(Hemato-lymphoid humanized mice)に腫瘍組織を移植することで、患者腫瘍組織移植マウスのひとつである造血リンパ系ヒト化モデルマウスを作製した。肺がん患者6名から採取した腫瘍組織をSofiaBio社から購入し、2mm角の腫瘍組織を造血リンパ系ヒト化マウスの皮下へ移植した(各患者の腫瘍組織に対してマウス5匹ずつ作製)。1か月後に腫瘍組織が約300mm3まで成長したモデルマウスに、抗ヒトPD-1モノクローナル抗体医薬品ニボルマブ(商品名:オプチーボ)100mg/kgを1日2回、計42回静脈内投与した。実施例1と同様に初回投与前および初回投与から21日後の腫瘍体積を計測するとともに、組織切片を採取し、実施例1と同様に標本スライドを作成した。免疫染色の1次反応処理において、抗HER2ウサギモノクローナル抗体「4B5」(ベンタナ社)の代わりに、抗PD-L1ウサギモノクローナル抗体(clone「SP142」Spring Bioscience(SBS)社)を用いる以外は、実施例1と同様の手法を用いることでこの標本スライドの、染色、観察を行った。
リンパ節転移が進行している肺がん患者3名から採取した腫瘍組織をSofiaBio社から購入し、それぞれ2mm角の腫瘍組織を腫瘍浸潤リンパ球を移植した獲得免疫不全マウスの皮下組織内または肺組織内へ移植してImmune-PDXモデルマウスを作製した(各患者の腫瘍組織に対してマウス5匹ずつ作製)。それぞれのマウスから1か月後に約300mm3まで成長したがん組織およびリンパ節組織を採取して、実施例1と同じ手法で標本スライドを作成した。
