Description

免疫效应细胞和辐射联用治疗肿瘤 技术领域
本发明属于免疫治疗领域,具体涉及具有靶向识别肿瘤抗原且引发细胞活化的受体的免疫效应细胞和肿瘤局部辐射治疗联合应用于肿瘤治疗。
背景技术
过继免疫细胞治疗如嵌合抗原受体修饰的T淋巴细胞(CAR-T)治疗已经有望成为肿瘤特别是恶性肿瘤的重要治疗手段,但是所采用的免疫效应细胞仍然面临如何在体内扩增、提高抗肿瘤的活性等问题。
现有文献表明淋巴细胞清除(清淋)预处理能增加免疫效应细胞如CAR-T细胞或TIL的体内扩增以及其抗肿瘤活性,并且近来通过对大规模的CD19-CAR-T细胞治疗血液恶性肿瘤的临床实验数据的分析发现,接受清淋预处理组对CD19-CAR-T细胞治疗的应答为88%,远远高于未接受清淋预处理组的32%(Am J Cancer Res(2016);6(2):403-424)。在2017年上市的2个针对CD19的CAR-T细胞治疗产品(诺华制药的Kymriah和凯特制药的Yescarta(KTE-C19))的说明书上也均明确注明给予CD19-CAR-T细胞治疗前要先进行去除淋巴细胞处理(包括氟达拉滨和环磷酰胺淋巴细胞的去除淋巴细胞方案)。
然而清淋预处理也有可能影响到过继免疫细胞治疗效果,并且有可能参与形成细胞因子风暴,而且还会产生严重的骨髓抑制等毒性反应,特别是在实体肿瘤治疗中,采用清淋预处理后CAR-T细胞的的疗效并不显著(Zhang et al.,“Phase I Escalating-Dose Trial of CAR-T Therapy Targeting CEA+Metastatic Colorectal Cancers”,Molecular Therapy(2017),25(5):1248-1258),并且还有报道采用清淋预处理加ERBB2-CAR-T治疗结肠转移癌过程中出现细胞因子风暴,导致患者死亡(Molecular Therapy vol.18no.4,843–851apr.2010)。
因此,能否找到不清淋预处理,并且能明显提高过继免疫细胞疗效的手段无疑是非常有价值的。

具体实施方式
本发明涉及具有靶向识别肿瘤抗原且引发细胞活化的受体的免疫效应细胞和局部辐射治疗联合应用于治疗肿瘤,应理解本发明并不限于所述的方法和实验条件,因为这样的方法和条件可以改变。
本公开内容至少部分源于下述开创性认知:连续地、以任一次序地或基本上同时地包括肿瘤局部辐射治疗和免疫效应细胞治疗的一个或多个周期和/或剂量的组合治疗方案在治疗一些受试者中的癌症中可以是更有效的,和/或可以起始、使实现、增加、增强或延长免疫细胞的活性和/或数目,或通过肿瘤的医学有益应答。
术语“免疫效应细胞”,是指参与免疫应答,例如,促进免疫效应的细胞。免疫效应细胞的实例包括T细胞,例如,α/β的T细胞和γ/δT细胞、B细胞、自然杀伤(NK)细胞、自然杀伤T(NKT)细胞、肥大细胞和骨髓源性吞噬细胞。优选地,所述T细胞包括自体T细胞、异种T细胞、同种异体T细胞,所述的自然杀伤细胞是同种异体NK细胞。正如本文中使用的那样,术语“免疫效应功能或免疫效应应答”是指免疫效应细胞,例如增强或促进靶细胞的免疫攻击的功能或反应。例如,免疫效应功能或应答是指促进靶细胞的杀伤或者抑制生长或增殖的T细胞或NK细胞的属性。
术语“局部辐射治疗”或“局部辐射处理”或“局部放射治疗”在本发明中具有相同含义,当射线辐射身体某一部位,引起局部细胞的反应者称局部辐射治疗,包括例如,分次辐射治疗、非分次辐射治疗和超分次辐射治疗。局部辐射治疗还包括采用辐射治疗设备对所述肿瘤进行辐射,在具体实施方案中,所述的辐射治疗设备通过产生下述任一射线对所述肿瘤进行辐射:X射线、α射线、β射线、γ射线、中子。还包括根据所有可利用的技术可完成的、通过电离辐射的所有抗肿瘤治疗:其非限制性列表包括:分次放射治疗、加 速辐射、强度调制的放射疗法、图像引导放射治疗、外线束放射治疗、密封源放疗或近距离放射疗法、非密封源放疗、三维适形放射疗法、质子治疗等。局部辐射治疗还可以采用位于所述个体的体内的能量源进行辐射治疗。
术语“个体”和“受试者”在本文中具有同等含义,可以是人和来自其他种属的动物。
放射线的来源可以位于受试者的外部或内部。当来源位于受试者的外部时,治疗就被称为外部射线束放射治疗(external beam radiation therapy,EBRT)也称为外照射,常使用γ射线、中子、X射线等穿透力强的射线,外照射的生物学效应强。当来源位于受试者的内部时,治疗就被称为近距离放射治疗(brachytherapy,BT),也成为内照射,其作用主要发生在放射性物质通过途径和沉积部位的组织器官,但其效应可波及全身。内照射的效应以射程短、电离强的α、β射线作用为主。
放射线是根据众所周知的标准技术,使用为此目的制造的标准的设备(即辐射治疗设备)进行施用的。放射线的剂量取决于数目众多的因素,这些都是在本工艺中众所周知的。这类因素包括待治疗的器官、位于放射通道中的可能被不注意地不良地影响的健康器官、患者对放射治疗的耐受性、以及需要治疗的身体区域。剂量典型地为介于不高于100Gy之间,优选的,不高于80Gy,更为优选地为不高于70Gy。所用剂量可以一次性给与,也可以分为小剂量、多次给与患者。应该强调的是,本发明并不局限于任何具体的剂量。剂量将由治疗的医师根据在一个给定的情形中的具体的因素,包括上述的因素来确定。
外部放射源和进入患者的点之间的距离可以是任何在杀死目标细胞和将副作用减到最小之间获得可接受平衡的距离。典型地,外部放射源和进入患者的点之间的距离介于70至100厘米之间。
近距离放射疗法通常是通过在患者中放置一个密封放射源来进行的。典型地,放射源放置于距离待治疗组织大约0~5厘米的地方。已知的方法包括间质近距离放射疗法、腔内近距离放射疗法、表面间质近距离放射疗法。放射源可以是永久性或者临时性植入的。已经被用于永久性种植体中的一些典型的放射性原子包括碘-125和氡。已经被用于临时性种植体中的一些典型的放射性原子包括铯-137和铱-192。
近距离放射疗法的放射剂量可以与上述的在外部射线束放射治疗中所用的剂量相同。除了上述的在确定外部射线束放射治疗剂量时所要考虑的因素之外,在确定近距离放射疗法剂量时还考虑了所使用的放射活性原子的特性。

实施例1 CAR-T细胞的构建和小鼠清淋模型的建立
(1)CAR-T细胞的构建
作为示例性的,本实施例采用靶向EGFRvIII的二代CAR,为了动物实验的需要,本实施例采用鼠的基因序列构建CAR的跨膜域和胞内域。
将小鼠CD8α信号肽的编码序列(SEQ ID NO:1),即能识别人活化的EGFR、也能识别人EGFRvIII的单抗抗体的编码序列(SEQ ID NO:2),鼠CD8α铰链区及跨膜区的编码序列(SEQ ID NO:3),鼠CD28胞内域的编码序列(SEQ ID NO:4),鼠CD3ζ胞内域的编码序列(SEQ ID NO:5)依次连接,通过体 外基因合成的方法获得EGFRvIII-m28Z基因片段,并用MluⅠ和SalⅠ双酶切位点置换逆转录病毒载体MSCV-IRES-GFP(购自Addgene)中的IRES-GFP片段,获得重组载体MSCV-EGFRvIII-m28Z(或者命名为MSCV-EGFRvIII-mCD28Z)(图1A)。
用重组载体MSCV-EGFRvIII-m28Z感染293T细胞,得到包装后的逆转录病毒。感染方法为本领域表达嵌合抗原受体的T细胞制备过程中常规的感染方法。
取Balb/c小鼠的脾脏T淋巴细胞,将纯化的小鼠CD3 +T淋巴细胞按1:1的体积比加入Dynabeads Mouse T-activator CD3/CD28(Thermo Fisher),PBS清洗一次,活化,放培养箱培养,培养基为RPMI 1640完全培养基。
将活化24h的小鼠脾脏T淋巴细胞接种于retronectin(Takara T100A)包被的12孔板中,加入逆转录病毒感染过夜,得到小鼠的EGFRvIII-m28Z CAR-T细胞。
(2)小鼠清淋模型的建立
Balb/c小鼠是免疫系统正常的小鼠。给予Balb/c小鼠5Gyγ射线全身辐照,辐照后第14天,小鼠下颌采血50μl至抗凝管,加入PerCP Cy5.5标记的抗小鼠CD3的流式抗体,室温孵育1小时,加入450μl红细胞裂解液,十分钟后,BD流式分析仪检测CD3阳性率。
实验结果:未处理的对照小鼠CD3阳性细胞比例为31.6%,经过辐照后的小鼠CD3阳性细胞比例为5.7%。与未处理的对照小鼠相比较,经过辐照后的小鼠CD3阳性细胞比例明显降低,约82%(P<0.05,t-test)(图1B)。说明5Gyγ射线能有效清除绝大部分CD3阳性细胞。
实施例2肿瘤局部辐射治疗与EGFRvIII-m28Z CAR-T细胞联合应用对结肠癌皮下移植瘤的抗肿瘤治疗作用
由于EGFR287-302表位仅在EGFRvIII或过表达EGFR的肿瘤中才暴露,而在正常组织中该表位隐匿(Gan HK et al.,Targeting of a conformationally exposed,tumor-specific epitope of EGFR as a strategy for cancer therapy.Cancer Res,2012,72(12):2924-2930.)。所以利用分子生物学常规手段建立过表达嵌合 有人EGFR第287-302位氨基酸表位的去掉鼠EGFR第2-7号外显子的小鼠EGFR的CT26细胞模型(CT26-EGFRvIII)。CT26细胞购自美国模式培养物保藏所(ATCC CRL-2638)。
(1)小鼠结肠癌模型的建立及分组治疗:
首先将小鼠分为两组:不清淋组及清淋组。
不清淋组:6周龄的雌性Balb/c小鼠(购自上海西普尔-必凯实验动物有限公司)皮下接种3×10 5CT26-EGFRvIII细胞,接种当天记为Day0,肿瘤接种后第13天(Day13),肿瘤体积为150~250mm 3,分为5组(每组6只),分别为:
UT(未处理)细胞组(UT):Day13尾静脉输注5×10 6未处理的小鼠T细胞;
2个单独治疗组:(1)肿瘤局部辐射治疗组(X-ray):Day13肿瘤局部接受10Gy X-ray辐射;(2)EGFRvIII-m28Z CAR-T细胞组(EGFRvIII-m28Z):Day13尾静脉输注5×10 6EGFRvIII-m28Z CAR-T细胞;
2个联合组:(1)EGFRvIII-m28Z CAR-T+肿瘤局部辐射治疗组(EGFRvIII-m28Z+X-ray):Day13尾静脉输注5×10 6EGFRvIII-m28Z CAR-T细胞,间隔1天即Day15肿瘤局部接受10Gy X-ray辐射;(2)肿瘤局部辐射治疗+EGFRvIII-m28Z CAR-T组(X-ray+EGFRvIII-m28Z):Day13肿瘤局部接受10Gy X-ray辐射,间隔1天Day15尾静脉输注5×10 6EGFRvIII-m28Z CAR-T细胞。
清淋组:6周龄的雌性Balb/c小鼠采用5Gyγ射线全身辐照后,当天皮下接种3×10 5CT26-EGFRvIII细胞,接种当天记为Day0;肿瘤接种后第13天(Day13),肿瘤体积为150~250mm 3,将清淋组荷瘤小鼠再各分为3组(每组6只)分别为:
UT(未处理)细胞组(UT(Lymphodeletion)):Day13尾静脉输注5×10 6未处理的小鼠T细胞,
肿瘤局部辐射治疗组(X-ray(Lymphodeletion)):Day13肿瘤局部接受10Gy X-ray辐射,
EGFRvIII-m28Z CAR-T细胞组(EGFRvIII-m28Z(Lymphodeletion)):Day13尾静脉输注5×10 6EGFRvIII-m28Z CAR-T细胞。
(2)观察记录肿瘤大小,参照对照UT组计算肿瘤抑制率。持续观察并测量小鼠肿瘤体积变化。瘤体积计算公式为:肿瘤体积=(肿瘤长×肿瘤宽 2)/2。 开始治疗后第8天(Day21)取小鼠血浆检查IFN-γ的浓度。
肿瘤局部辐射治疗与EGFRvIII-m28Z CAR-T联合在小鼠结肠癌模型中的抗肿瘤作用如图2-4所示。
由图2A可知,未清淋小鼠中,X-ray与CAR-T联合组(EGFRvIII-m28Z+X-ray、X-ray+EGFRvIII-m28Z)肿瘤体积明显小于单CAR-T细胞治疗组(EGFRvIII-m28Z)的肿瘤体积(P<0.05,Two way ANOVA)。由图2B可知,未清淋小鼠的X-ray与CAR-T联合组(EGFRvIII-m28Z+X-ray、X-ray+EGFRvIII-m28Z)肿瘤体积与清淋预处理后施用CAR-T细胞治疗组(EGFRvIII-m28Z(Lymphodeletion))的肿瘤体积无明显差异。上述结果说明CAR-T细胞治疗联合肿瘤局部辐射治疗能达到清淋预处理后施用CAR-T细胞治疗组的抗肿瘤效果。
由图3可知,在肿瘤接种后的第23天(Day23),未清淋小鼠CAR-T细胞治疗组(EGFRvIII-m28Z)的肿瘤抑制率为35.98%±18.15%,X-ray+EGFRvIII-m28Z联合组肿瘤抑制率为92.44%±2.24%,EGFRvIII-m28Z+X-ray联合组肿瘤抑制率为75.06%±13.06%,而清淋预处理后施用CAR-T细胞治疗组(EGFRvIII-m28Z(Lymphodeletion))的肿瘤抑制率为77.85%±17.92%。未清淋小鼠联合组(EGFRvIII-m28Z+X-ray、X-ray+EGFRvIII-m28Z)肿瘤抑制率高于未清淋小鼠CAR-T细胞治疗组(EGFRvIII-m28Z)的肿瘤抑制率(P<0.001,One way ANOVA),未清淋小鼠联合组(EGFRvIII-m28Z+X-ray、X-ray+EGFRvIII-m28Z)肿瘤抑制率与清淋预处理后施用CAR-T细胞治疗组(EGFRvIII-m28Z(Lymphodeletion))抑制率无明显差别。上述结果说明CAR-T细胞治疗联合肿瘤局部辐射治疗效果能达到清淋预处理后施用CAR-T细胞治疗组的抗肿瘤效果。
由图4A可知,在未清淋治疗组中,联合治疗组中X-ray+EGFRvIII-m28Z组生存期最长(P<0.05,Log-rank test),显著高于EGFRvIII-m28Z CAR-T组、X-ray组。图4B中未清淋小鼠中X-ray+EGFRvIII-m28Z组小鼠生存期相对于未清淋EGFRvIII-m28Z+X-ray组以及清淋预处理后施用CAR-T细胞治疗组(EGFRvIII-m28Z(Lymphodeletion))更长(P<0.05,Log-rank test)。
到治疗后的44天为止,未清淋小鼠中X-ray+EGFRvIII-m28Z组6只小鼠中有4只小鼠肿瘤消失。未清淋小鼠中EGFRvIII-m28Z+X-ray的6只小鼠中也有1 只小鼠肿瘤消失,而清淋预处理后施用CAR-T细胞治疗组中没有小鼠肿瘤消失。
上述结果说明清淋预处理并非提高CAR-T细胞治疗效果所必需。CAR-T细胞治疗联合肿瘤局部辐射治疗效果能达到清淋预处理后施用CAR-T细胞治疗组的抗肿瘤效果,如对肿瘤生长的抑制没有统计学差异,并且肿瘤局部辐射与CAR-T细胞施用的先后顺序不影响联合治疗的抑制肿瘤生长作用。但是在对荷瘤小鼠的生存期的影响,CAR-T细胞治疗联合肿瘤局部辐射治疗明显优于清淋预处理后施用CAR-T细胞治疗组,其中以X-ray+EGFRvIII-m28Z组对生存期的影响尤为显著。
实施例3肿瘤局部辐射治疗与EGFRvIII-m28Z CAR-T联合治疗小鼠结肠癌模型中的IFN-γ浓度检测
取实施例2中的开始治疗后第8天(Day21)的小鼠血浆50μl,用联科生物公司的ELISA试剂盒测定血液中的干扰素γ的水平,结果如图5所示,未清淋小鼠联合组中EGFRvIII-m28Z+X-ray组与清淋预处理后施用CAR-T治疗组相比没有显著性差异,而X-ray+EGFRvIII-m28Z组干扰素γ的浓度最高,高于清淋预处理后施用CAR-T治疗组(P<0.05,One way ANOVA)。上述结果说明CAR-T细胞治疗联合肿瘤局部辐射治疗能促进干扰素γ的分泌,其促进水平能达到清淋预处理后施用CAR-T细胞治疗组的水平,其中X-ray+EGFRvIII-m28Z组干扰素γ的水平显著高于清淋预处理后施用CAR-T细胞治疗组的水平。上述说明清淋预处理并非提高CAR-T细胞治疗效果所必需。不清淋情况下施用CAR-T细胞联合肿瘤局部辐射治疗可以获得和清淋预处理后施用CAR-T治疗组一样的抗肿瘤效果,并且先进行肿瘤局部辐射再施用CAR-T细胞,即X-ray+EGFRvIII-m28Z还能显著高于清淋预处理后CAR-T细胞治疗组的抗肿瘤治疗效果。
实施例4肿瘤局部辐射治疗和EGFRvIII-m28Z CAR-T细胞联合应用对小鼠原位乳腺癌的抗肿瘤治疗作用
利用分子生物学常规手段建立过表达嵌合有人EGFR第287-302位氨基酸表位的小鼠EGFR的小鼠乳腺癌细胞E0771细胞模型(E0771-EGFR)。小鼠乳腺癌细胞E0771由美国贝勒医学院馈赠。
(1)C57BL/6小鼠原位乳腺癌模型的建立及分组:
取6-8周龄C57BL/6小鼠(购自上海西普尔-必凯实验动物有限公司),将1×10 6E0771-EGFR细胞接种于小鼠右侧第四乳腺脂肪垫内构建小鼠原位乳腺癌模型,接种当日记为Day0。接种后第14天(Day14),肿瘤长至200~300mm 3(),将荷瘤小鼠分为5组(每组6只):
UT(未处理)细胞组(UT):Day14尾静脉输注5×10 6未处理的小鼠T细胞;
2个单独治疗组:(1)肿瘤局部辐射治疗组(X-ray):Day14肿瘤局部接受10Gy X-ray辐射;
(2)EGFRvIII-m28Z CAR-T细胞组(EGFRvIII-m28Z):Day14尾静脉输注5×10 6EGFRvIII-m28Z CAR-T细胞;
2个联合组:(1)EGFRvIII-m28Z CAR-T+肿瘤局部辐射治疗组(EGFRvIII-m28Z+X-ray):Day14尾静脉输注5×10 6EGFRvIII-m28Z CAR-T细胞,间隔1天即Day16肿瘤局部接受10Gy X-ray辐射;
(2)肿瘤局部辐射治疗+EGFRvIII-m28Z CAR-T组(X-ray+EGFRvIII-m28Z):Day14肿瘤局部接受10Gy X-ray辐射,间隔1天即Day16尾静脉输注5×10 6EGFRvIII-m28Z CAR-T细胞。
(2)观察记录肿瘤大小,参照对照UT组计算肿瘤抑制率。持续观察并测量小鼠肿瘤体积变化。瘤体积计算公式为:肿瘤体积=(肿瘤长×肿瘤宽 2)/2。记录小鼠生存期,结果如图6所示。
如图6A所示,在肿瘤接种后的第34天(Day34),EGFRvIII-m28Z组肿瘤抑制率是41.74%±13.29%,EGFRvIII-m28Z+X-ray组肿瘤抑制率是81.77%±12.62%,X-ray+EGFRvIII-m28Z组肿瘤抑制率是80.85%±17.82%。相对于EGFRvIII-m28Z组,不管是EGFRvIII-m28Z+X-ray组还是X-ray+EGFRvIII-m28Z组都显著抑制肿瘤生长(EGFRvIII-m28Z vs.X-ray+EGFRvIII-m28Z P<0.01,One way ANOVA;EGFRvIII-m28Z vs.EGFRvIII-m28Z+X-rayP<0.05,One way ANOVA)。
如图6B所示,相对于EGFRvIII-m28Z组,不管是EGFRvIII-m28Z+X-ray组还是X-ray+EGFRvIII-m28Z组都显著延小鼠长生存期(EGFRvIII-m28Z vs.X-ray+EGFRvIII-m28Z P=0.0409,Log-rank test;EGFRvIII-m28Z vs.EGFRvIII-m28Z+X-rayP=0.0279,Log-rank test)。
上述结果显示,不论肿瘤局部辐射治疗在CAR-T施用之前还是之后都能够提高联合治疗的抗肿瘤活性,体现在抑制肿瘤生长、延长个体生存期等。而肿瘤局部辐射治疗是在CAR-T细胞施用之前还是之后对联合治疗的效果影响不大。
实施例5肿瘤局部辐射治疗和EGFRvIII-m28Z CAR-T细胞联合应用对小鼠原位乳腺癌的抗肿瘤治疗作用
利用分子生物学常规手段建立过表达嵌合有人EGFR第287-302位氨基酸表位的小鼠EGFR的小鼠乳腺癌细胞4T1细胞模型(4T1-EGFR)。4T1细胞购自中国科学院细胞库(TCM32)。(1)Balb/c小鼠原位乳腺癌模型的建立及分组治疗:

2个联合组:(1)EGFRvIII-m28Z CAR-T+肿瘤局部辐射治疗组(EGFRvIII-m28Z+X-ray):Day15尾静脉输注5×10 6EGFRvIII-m28Z CAR-T细胞,间隔1天即Day17肿瘤局部接受10Gy X-ray辐射;(2)肿瘤局部辐射治疗+EGFRvIII-m28Z CAR-T组(X-ray+EGFRvIII-m28Z):Day15肿瘤局部接受10Gy X-ray辐射,间隔1天即Day17尾静脉输注5×10 6EGFRvIII-m28Z CAR-T 细胞。
(2)观察记录肿瘤大小,参照对照UT组计算肿瘤抑制率。持续观察并测量小鼠肿瘤体积变化。瘤体积计算公式为:肿瘤体积=(肿瘤长×肿瘤宽 2)/2。记录小鼠生存期,结果如图7所示。
