Definitions
- the present invention belongs to the field of cell biology and oncology, and relates to a CAR-T cell which efficiently and stably expresses an activated antibody and uses thereof.
- Immunotherapy for malignant tumors has developed rapidly in recent years, achieving remarkable clinical results.
- immunological checkpoints such as CTLA4, PD1/PDL1 monoclonal antibody treatment, through the activation of residual tumor-specific T cells in situ, the overall effective rate of a variety of malignant tumors reached 30%, and many patients once Long-term survival of the drug;
- transgenic CAR-T/TCR-T cell therapy is obtained by rapidly obtaining tumor-specific T cells by means of ex vivo gene modification, and adopting therapeutic effects after repeated reinfusion for complete relapse of refractory B cell leukemia The response rate is over 90%.
- Chimeric Antigen Receptor is generally composed of a scFv (single-chain variable Fragment) single-chain antibody (the antibody light and heavy chain variable region is formed by Linker linkage, which is responsible for binding membrane antigen), and is formed by a hinge structure (responsible for formation). The correct conformation, forming a dimer) is linked to the transmembrane region, the intracellular signal structure (responsible for transmitting T cell activation signals).
- CAR-modified T cells are assigned to recognize tumor cell membrane antigen peptide molecules and initiate killing or proliferation.
- CAR-T cells recognize antigens expressed on the cell membrane, rather than antigens that are presented to the cell surface after binding to MHC molecules, they can bypass T cell MHC restriction and avoid down-regulation or deletion of MHC molecules by tumor cells. Caused by immune escape.
- the design of CAR was first proposed by Israeli scholar Eshhar and his colleagues in 1989. It can be divided into three generations according to its development stage.
- the first generation of CAR receptors contains an svFC fragment that specifically recognizes tumor antigens, and the intracellular activation signal is transmitted by the IT3 (immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs) signal chain of CD3 ⁇ or Fc ⁇ RI ⁇ .
- IT3 immunoglobulin-like effector activity
- Fc ⁇ RI ⁇ Fc ⁇ RI ⁇
- the first-generation CAR receptor lacks the costimulatory signal of T cells, which leads to the short-term effects of T cells, short-lived in vivo, and low secretion of cytokines.
- the second generation of CAR receptors increases the intracellular domain of costimulatory signaling molecules, including, for example, CD28, CD134/OX40, CD137/4-1BB, lymphocyte-specific protein tyrosine kinase (LCK), and inducible T-cell co-stimulator ( ICOS) and DNAX-activation protein 10 (DAP10) and other domains enhance T cell proliferation and cytokine secretion, IL-2, IFN- ⁇ and GM-CSF increase, thereby breaking the immunosuppression of tumor microenvironment AICD (activation induced cell death (AICD)).
- the third generation of CAR receptors is based on the second generation of CAR and then a second co-stimulatory molecule such as 4-1BB.
- multiple target CAR-T cells are undergoing clinical trials for solid tumor treatment, including GD2, FR- ⁇ , L1-CAM, HER2, EGFR, EGFRvIII, VEGFR-2, IL-13R ⁇ 2, FAP, Mesothelin, c-MET, PSMA, CEA, GPC3, EphA2, MUC1, CAIX (carbonic anhydrase IX), and the like.
- Solid tumor tissue has immunosuppressive microenvironment, including Treg cells, tumor-associated fibroblasts, bone marrow-derived immature DC cells, M2 macrophages, etc. and their secreted cytokines such as IL-6, IL-10, IDO, VEGF, TGF ⁇ , etc., these cells and their secreted cytokines can inhibit the function of T cells either directly or indirectly.
- immunosuppressive microenvironment including Treg cells, tumor-associated fibroblasts, bone marrow-derived immature DC cells, M2 macrophages, etc. and their secreted cytokines such as IL-6, IL-10, IDO, VEGF, TGF ⁇ , etc.
- immunological checkpoint antibodies such as PD1/PDL1
- immuno-negative regulators such as IDO small molecule inhibitors
- Immune microenvironment, over-expression of immunoregulatory factors such as IL-12
- direct targeting of tumor stromal cells such as CAR-T targeting FAP-positive tumor-associated fibroblasts
- the microenvironment of inhibition enhances the viability and killing effect of infiltrating CAR-T cells.
- Solid tumors are highly heterogeneous, with high differences between different patients, different lesions in the same patient, and different tumor cells in the same lesion. This high degree of heterogeneity has caused tumor targeting therapy to fall into the disadvantage of lacking an ideal universal, broad-spectrum target, limiting the efficacy of CAR-T cells in the treatment of solid tumors. Therefore, in order to expand the killing range of CAR-T cells, some researchers have proposed the design concept of TanCAR, which combines two scFvs combined with different tumor-associated antigens to form a new CAR that can simultaneously recognize and combine two targets. Effectively improve the efficacy of CAR-T cells.
- T cells on tumor cells require a clustering effect.
- the killing of a tumor cell requires the cooperation of several T cells, so that only when the effector cells reach a certain amount, the tumor cells can be effectively killed. Therefore, when T cells contact tumor cells of a specific target, they can rapidly proliferate and amplify the killing function by direct contact with the paracrine pathway.
- CAR-T cell By intravenous administration, under the condition of blood tumor, it is very easy to contact with tumor cells, the number of CAR-T cells can be rapidly amplified, and even excessive amplification to form a cytokine storm, so the curative effect is relatively good; under the condition of solid tumor, blood circulation The number of tumor cells is limited, and CAR-T cells need to reach the tumor site to receive stimulation, and it is difficult to achieve an effective dose.
- CAR-T especially CAR-T cells capable of broadly recognizing tumor membrane antigens
- CAR-T cells capable of broadly recognizing tumor membrane antigens
- T cell proliferation and survival it can effectively overcome solid tumor CAR-
- T treatment has greatly improved the efficacy.

Abstract

Description
本发明属于细胞生物学和肿瘤学领域,涉及一种高效稳定表达激活型抗体的CAR-T细胞及其用途。
针对恶性肿瘤的免疫治疗近年来发展迅速,取得令人瞩目的临床疗效。其中,免疫检查点(如CTLA4、PD1/PDL1)单抗治疗,通过原位激活患者残留的肿瘤特异性T细胞发挥作用,对多种恶性肿瘤的总体有效率达到30%,且许多患者一旦起效能长期存活;转基因CAR-T/TCR-T细胞治疗,是通过离体基因修饰的手段快速获得肿瘤特异性T细胞后,过继回输进行治疗发挥作用,对复发难治性B细胞白血病的完全缓解率超过90%。
嵌合抗原受体(Chimeric Antigen Receptor,CAR)一般由一个scFv(single-chain variable Fragment)单链抗体(抗体轻重链可变区经Linker连接构成,负责结合膜抗原),通过铰链结构(负责形成正确构象,形成二聚体)与跨膜区、胞内信号结构(负责传递T细胞活化信号)连接构成。经CAR基因修饰的T细胞(CAR-T)被赋予识别肿瘤细胞膜抗原肽分子,启动杀伤或增殖的能力。由于CAR-T细胞识别的是表达在细胞膜上的抗原,而非与MHC分子结合后被递呈到细胞表面的抗原,因而可以绕过T细胞MHC限制性,避免由于肿瘤细胞下调或缺失MHC分子引起的免疫逃逸。
CAR的设计最早由以色列学者Eshhar和其同事于1989年提出,按其发展阶段到目前为止可分为三代。第一代CAR受体包含了胞外特异识别肿瘤抗原的svFC片段,胞内激活信号由CD3ζ或FcεRIγ的ITAM(immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs)信号链来传递。但是第一代CAR受体缺乏T细胞的共刺激信号,导致T细胞只能发挥瞬间效应,在体内存在时间短、细胞因子分泌少等缺点。第二代CAR受体增加了共刺激信号分子的胞内结构域,包括如CD28,CD134/OX40,CD137/4-1BB,lymphocyte-specific protein tyrosine kinase(LCK),inducible T-cell co-stimulator(ICOS)以及DNAX-activation protein 10(DAP10)等结构域,增强了T细胞的增殖能力及细胞因子的分泌功能,IL-2、IFN-γ以及GM-CSF增加,从而突破肿瘤微环境的免疫抑制、延长AICD(activation induced cell death,AICD)。第三代CAR受体则是在第二代CAR的基础上再融合一个二级共刺激分子如4-1BB,从而
产生一个三重信号的CAR受体,第三代CAR受体改造的T细胞具有更好的效应功能和体内存活时间。近年来,有部分学者提出第四代CAR受体概念,他们在第三代CAR的基础上增加了IL12、IL15等具有正向调节T细胞功能的细胞因子,进一步提高T细胞的增殖、杀伤、体内存活能力。
目前,已有多个靶标的CAR-T细胞正在开展实体瘤治疗的临床试验,包括GD2、FR-α、L1-CAM、HER2、EGFR、EGFRvIII、VEGFR-2、IL-13Rα2、FAP、Mesothelin、c-MET、PSMA、CEA、GPC3、EphA2、MUC1、CAIX(carbonic anhydrase IX)等。其中,部分临床试验取得相对良好的结果,例如,针对GD2的CAR-T细胞治疗高风险性神经母细胞瘤的临床试验(19例患者),8例患者回输后肿瘤完全消退,3例未消退的患者在回输后第6周的观察时间点显示完全应答,1名完全应答患者192周仍能检测到CAR-T细胞;针对HER2的CAR-T细胞治疗HER2阳性实体瘤临床试验(共19例,其中骨肉瘤16例),4例维持无疾病进展状态12周至14月,其中3例肿瘤消退,1例消退90%以上。然而总体而言,实体瘤的CAR-T治疗相对于血液肿瘤,疗效仍存在较大差距,究其原因,主要包括:
1、抑制免疫的微环境
实体瘤组织存在免疫抑制的微环境,包括Treg细胞、肿瘤相关成纤维细胞、骨髓来源未成熟DC细胞、M2型巨噬细胞等及其它们分泌的细胞因子,如IL-6、IL-10、IDO、VEGF、TGFβ等,这些细胞及其分泌的细胞因子可以通过直接或间接的方式抑制T细胞的功能。通过放化疗破坏肿瘤微环境,免疫检查点抗体(如PD1/PDL1)或免疫负调节因子(如IDO小分子抑制剂)特异阻断相关信号通路,表观遗传修饰相关酶类的抑制剂整体调整免疫微环境,过表达免疫正调节因子(如IL-12),直接靶向清除肿瘤基质细胞(如靶向FAP阳性肿瘤相关成纤维细胞的CAR-T)等策略,均可以作用于实体瘤免疫抑制的微环境,提高浸润的CAR-T细胞的存活能力与杀伤效果。
2、缺乏合适的CAR-T治疗靶点
实体瘤具有高度的异质性,不同患者、同一患者不同病灶、同一病灶不同肿瘤细胞之间均存在高度的差异。这种高度的异质性致使肿瘤靶向治疗陷入缺乏理想的通用、广谱靶点的不利境地,限制了CAR-T细胞治疗实体瘤的疗效。因而,为扩大CAR-T细胞的杀伤范围,有学者提出TanCAR的设计理念,将两种结合不同肿瘤相关抗原的scFv串联在一起,构成一个新的能同时识别并结合两个靶点的CAR,有效提高了CAR-T细胞的疗效。
3、在体内难以达到有效数量
T细胞杀伤肿瘤细胞必需群集效应,杀伤一个肿瘤细胞需要数个T细胞的协作,因而只有效应细胞达到一定数量后,肿瘤细胞才可被有效杀伤。所以,当T细胞接触特定靶点的肿瘤细胞后,可快速增殖,并通过直接接触与旁分泌途径,放大杀伤功能。CAR-T细胞
通过静脉给药,在血液肿瘤条件下,非常容易接触肿瘤细胞,CAR-T细胞的数量可快速放大,甚至过量放大形成细胞因子风暴,因而疗效相对较好;而实体瘤条件下,血液循环中肿瘤细胞数量有限,CAR-T细胞需达到肿瘤部位才能接受刺激,难以达到有效剂量。
因而,如能在CAR-T,尤其是能广谱识别肿瘤膜抗原的CAR-T细胞基础上,表达具有直接或间接刺激T细胞增殖、存活等功能的抗体,则能有效克服实体瘤CAR-T治疗的难题,大幅提高疗效。
尽管已经有将外源基因转导入例如T细胞的报导,但目前常用基因转染载体系统对具有细胞杀伤毒性的效应免疫细胞转染率低,或者难以使外源基因在其细胞内高水平地表达。利用腺病毒载体(非整合型)可以介导外源基因在T细胞内较高效的短时表达,但活化的T细胞增殖速度非常快,携带的外源基因表达框在细胞传代中将快速丢失,表达难以持久;利用逆转录病毒或慢病毒可以介导外源基因在T细胞基因组中的整合,理论上可实现稳定表达,但抗体包含轻链与重链,编码序列长、分子量大,导致携带全长抗体表达框的逆转录病毒或慢病毒包装与制备存在较大困难、难以高效表达抗体(例如,利用CAR-T细胞表达抗体,浓度仅200ng/ml,Oncotarget.2016Apr 29.doi:10.18632/oncotarget.9114),一般用于表达结构简单的单链抗体(缺乏恒定区片段,功能不全且半衰期短)。因而,在此之前,尚无CAR-T细胞高效表达抗体的报道。

下面对本发明涉及的部分术语进行解释。
在本发明中,术语“表达框”是指表达一个基因所需的完整元件,包括启动子、基因编码序列、PolyA加尾信号序列。
术语“编码序列”在文中定义为核酸序列中直接确定其蛋白产物(例如刹车分子,CAR,单链抗体,铰链区和跨膜区)的氨基酸序列的部分。编码序列的边界通常是由紧邻mRNA 5’端开放读码框上游的核糖体结合位点(对于原核细胞)和紧邻mRNA 3’端开放读码框下游的转录终止序列确定。编码序列可以包括,但不限于DNA、cDNA和重组核酸序列。
术语“激活型抗体”指存在时可激活某一特定的免疫反应的抗体。所述激活型抗体可以是抗体的全长序列或其功能性片段。在一个或多个实施方案中,所述激活型抗体选自:Fab、Fab’、F(ab’)2、Fv、scFv和scFv-Fc。在某些实施方案中,本文所述的激活型抗体是单链抗体。
术语“抗原结合片段”(antigen-binding fragment,Fab)是指位于抗体分子"Y"结构两臂末端,由高变区氨基酸序列组成,决定抗体结合抗原的特异性的肽段。
术语“Fc”即抗体的可结晶段(fragment crystallizable,Fc),是指位于抗体分子"Y"结构的柄部末端,包含抗体重链恒定区CH2和CH3结构域的肽段,是抗体与效应分子或者细胞相互作用的部位。
术语“抗原表位”又称抗原决定簇(antigenic determinant,AD),指抗原分子中决定抗原特异性的特殊化学基团。一般情况下,一个多肽表位含5~6个氨基酸残基抗原表位,可被特定的抗体所识别。抗原表位的性质、数目和空间构型决定抗原的特异性。而根据抗原表位的氨基酸连续性的不同,可以分为线性表位与空间表位,线性表位是一段序列相邻的氨基酸组成的表位,而空间表位是数个不相邻,但在空间结构上相邻的氨基酸组成的表位。
术语“共刺激分子”是指存在于抗原提呈细胞表面,能与Th细胞上的共刺激分子受体结合,产生协同刺激信号的分子。淋巴细胞的增殖不仅需要抗原的结合,还需要接受共刺激分子的信号。共刺激信号传递给T细胞主要是通过表达在抗原呈递细胞表面的共刺激分子CD80,CD86与T细胞表面的CD28分子结合。B细胞接受共刺激信号可以通过一般的病原体成分例如LPS,或者通过补体成分,或者通过激活了的抗原特异性的Th细胞表面的CD40L。
术语“接头”或铰链是连接不同蛋白或多肽之间的多肽片段,其目的是使所连接的蛋白或多肽保持各自的空间构象,以维持蛋白或多肽的功能或活性。示例性的接头包括含有G和/或S的接头,以及例如Furin 2A肽。
术语“特异性结合”是指抗体或者抗原结合片段与其所针对的抗原之间的反应。在某些实施方式中,特异性结合某抗原的抗体(或对某抗原具有特异性的抗体)是指,抗体以小于大约10-5M,例如小于大约10-6M、10-7M、10-8M、10-9M或10-10M或更小的亲和力
(KD)结合该抗原。“特异性识别”具有类似的含义。
术语“药学上可接受的辅料”是指在药理学和/或生理学上与受试者和活性成分相容的载体和/或赋形剂,其是本领域公知的(参见例如Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences.Edited by Gennaro AR,19th ed.Pennsylvania:Mack Publishing Company,1995),并且包括但不限于:pH调节剂,表面活性剂,佐剂,离子强度增强剂。例如,pH调节剂包括但不限于磷酸盐缓冲液;表面活性剂包括但不限于阳离子,阴离子或者非离子型表面活性剂,例如Tween-80;离子强度增强剂包括但不限于氯化钠。
术语“有效量”是指可在受试者中实现治疗、预防、减轻和/或缓解本发明所述疾病或病症的剂量。
术语“疾病和/或病症”是指所述受试者的一种身体状态,该身体状态与本发明所述疾病和/或病症有关。
术语“受试者”可以指患者或者其它接受本发明药物组合物以治疗、预防、减轻和/或缓解本发明所述疾病或病症的动物,特别是哺乳动物,例如人、狗、猴、牛、马等。
本文提供一类核酸构建物(本文也称为“核酸构建物C”),该类核酸构建物含有转座子5’反向末端重复序列(5’ITR),编码任选的刹车分子、嵌合抗原受体(CAR)和免疫共刺激分子或其受体的激活型抗体(如感兴趣单链抗体)的核酸序列及控制该核酸序列表达的启动子,polyA加尾信号序列,转座子3’反向末端重复序列(3’ITR),转座酶编码序列和控制转座酶编码序列表达的启动子。
“嵌合抗原受体”(CAR)是人工改造受体,能够将识别肿瘤细胞表面抗原的特异性分子(如抗体)锚定在免疫细胞(如T细胞)上,使免疫细胞识别肿瘤抗原或病毒抗原和杀死肿瘤细胞或病毒感染的细胞。
