本明細書において、「免疫チェックポイント阻害剤」とは、免疫チェックポイント分子によって引き起こされる免疫細胞の抑制を解除することによって免疫を賦活する薬剤を意味する。免疫チェックポイント分子としては、プログラム細胞死-1(Programmed cell death 1;PD-1)、細胞傷害性Tリンパ球関連タンパク質4(cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4;CTLA-4)、T細胞免疫グロブリンドメイン及びムチンドメイン-3(T-cell immunoglobulin domain and mucin domain-3;TIM-3)、リンパ球活性化遺伝子3(lymphocyte activation gene 3;LAG-3)、及びV型免疫グロブリンドメイン含有T細胞活性化抑制因子(V-type immunoglobulin domain-containing suppressor of T-cell activation;VISTA)等が挙げられる。これらの分子が担う免疫チェックポイントはPD-1系免疫チェックポイント、CTLA-4系免疫チェックポイント、TIM-3系免疫チェックポイント、LAG-3系免疫チェックポイント、及びVISTA系免疫チェックポイントと呼ばれる。免疫チェックポイント阻害剤は、例えば免疫チェックポイント分子又はそのリガンドに結合して、免疫チェックポイントの機能を阻害し得る。例えば、PD-1系免疫チェックポイント阻害剤は、PD-1とPD-L1又はPD-L2との結合を阻害することによりPD-1系免疫チェックポイントを阻害することができる。また、CTLA-4系免疫チェックポイント阻害剤は、CTLA-4とCD80又はCD86との結合を阻害することによりCTLA-4系免疫チェックポイントを阻害することができる。また、TIM-3系免疫チェックポイント阻害剤は、TIM-3とガレクチン-9との結合を阻害することによりTIM-3系免疫チェックポイントを阻害することができる。また、LAG-3系免疫チェックポイント阻害剤は、LAG-3とMHCクラスII分子との結合を阻害することによりLAG-3系免疫チェックポイントを阻害することができる。また、VISTA系免疫チェックポイント阻害剤は、VISTAとVSIG-3/IGSF11との結合を阻害することにより、VISTA系免疫チェックポイントを阻害することができる。免疫チェックポイント阻害剤とは、PD-1系免疫チェックポイント、CTLA-4系免疫チェックポイント、TIM-3系免疫チェックポイント、LAG3系免疫チェックポイント、及びVISTA系免疫チェックポイント等の1以上の免疫チェックポイントを阻害することができる物質を指し、抗体、抗原結合性タンパク質、及び低分子化合物等が挙げられる。抗体には受容体又はリガンドのいずれかに結合するものが存在する。例えば、PD-1系免疫チェックポイントを阻害する抗体としては、抗PD-1抗体、抗PD-L1抗体、又は抗PD-L2抗体が挙げられ、例えば、ニボルマブ、ペムプロリズマブ、MK-3475、AMP-224、ピジリズマブ、AMP-514、ANB-011、BGB-A317、REGN-2810、HR301210、PF-06801591、JS-001、IBI-308、CBT-501、アベルマブ、アテゾリズマブ、BMS-936559、LY-3300054、JNJ-61610588、及びデュルバルマブが使用され得る。また、CTLA-4系免疫チェックポイントを阻害する抗体としては、抗CTLA-4抗体、抗CD80抗体、又は抗CD86抗体が挙げられ、例えば、イピリムマブ、及びトレメリムマブが使用され得る。また、TIM-3系免疫チェックポイントを阻害する抗体は、抗TIM-3抗体又は抗ガレクチン-9抗体が挙げられ、例えば、MGB453が使用され得る。また、VISTA系免疫チェックポイントを阻害する抗体は、抗VISTA抗体又は抗VSIG-3/IGSF11抗体からなる群から選択される抗体が挙げられ、例えば、JNJ-61610588が使用され得る。また、低分子化合物としてAUPM-170も用いられ得る。
がん抗原であるNY-ESO-1を搭載したaAVCのがんワクチンとしての効果をin vivo評価系にて確認するため、マウスNIH/3T3細胞(ATCC、Cat.CRL-1658)にNY-ESO-1遺伝子及びCD1d遺伝子のmRNAを導入したマウス型aAVC(aAVC(3T3)-NY-ESO-1とも称する)を作製した。
各群5例の6週齢C57BL/6J雌性マウス(日本チャールス・リバー)の尾静脈に、BICANATE Injection(株式会社大塚製薬工業)に懸濁した5×105cellsのaAVC(3T3)-NY-ESO-1を投与した。コントロール群には200μLのBICANATE Injectionを投与した。投与7日後にマウスから脾臓細胞を回収し、mouse IFN-γ single-color enzymatic ELISPOT assay kit(Cellular Technology Lymited社、Cat.mIFNgp-2M/5)のプレートに4×105cells/ウェルで播種した。さらに、NY-ESO-1特異的T細胞を刺激するために、NY-ESO-1タンパク配列の全長をカバーするオーバーラッピングペプチドであるNY-ESO-1ペプチド(PepTivator NY-ESO-1 - premium grade, human(ミルテニーバイオテク社、Cat.130-095-381))、又は、抗原非特異的ペプチドとしてPAPペプチド(PepTivator PAP - research grade, human(ミルテニーバイオテク社、Cat.130-096-767))を添加し、37℃、5%CO2条件下で1日間培養した。ウェル底のスポット数をカウントすることにより、IFN-γ産生細胞数を計測した。aAVC(3T3)-NY-ESO-1投与マウスでは、NY-ESO-1ペプチド刺激によりIFN-γを産生する細胞が増加した(図1-1)。抗原非特異的であるPAPペプチド刺激によるスポット数との差が、NY-ESO-1特異的T細胞数を示す。この結果より、aAVC(3T3)-NY-ESO-1投与によりNY-ESO-1特異的T細胞が誘導されることが示唆された。
各群10例の8週齢C57BL/6J雌性マウス(日本チャールス・リバー)の尾静脈に、BICANATE Injectionに懸濁した5×105cellsのaAVC(3T3)-NY-ESO-1を投与した。コントロール群には200μLのBICANATE Injectionを投与した。投与14日後、前記マウスの皮下に、D-PBS(-)(富士フイルム和光純薬株式会社、Cat.045-29795)に懸濁した3×105cellsのB16-F10メラノーマ細胞(ATCC、Cat.CRL-6475)、又は、D-PBS(-)に懸濁した3×105cellsのNY-ESO-1遺伝子を導入して作製したNY-ESO-1タンパク質を発現するB16-F10メラノーマ細胞(以下、B16-NY-ESO-1又はB16-NY-ESO-1細胞と称する)をそれぞれ接種した。がん細胞を接種した日を0日目と設定し、20日間の腫瘍体積の変化を計測した。aAVC(3T3)-NY-ESO-1投与により、B16-NY-ESO-1腫瘍の増大が有意に抑制されたのに対し、NY-ESO-1を発現していないB16-F10腫瘍の増大は抑制されなかった(図1-2)。この結果より、aAVC(3T3)-NY-ESO-1は、NY-ESO-1特異的免疫の誘導に基づくNY-ESO-1特異的抗腫瘍効果を有することが示唆された。
8週齢C57BL/6J雌性マウス(日本チャールス・リバー)の皮下に、D-PBS(-)に懸濁した3×105cellsのB16-NY-ESO-1細胞を接種した。細胞接種7日後、前記マウスを腫瘍体積に基づき各群10例の5つの群に分け、尾静脈から、溶媒であるBICANATE Injectionに懸濁したaAVC(3T3)-NY-ESO-1を、それぞれ5×102cells/マウス、5×103cells/マウス、5×104cells/マウス、5×105cells/マウスとなるように投与した。コントロール群には200μLのBICANATE Injectionを投与した。aAVC(3T3)-NY-ESO-1を投与した日を0日目と設定し、10日間の腫瘍体積の変化を計測した。なお、5×105cells/マウス投与群ではaAVC(3T3)-NY-ESO-1投与後に2個体の死亡が発生したため、0日目以降の例数は8匹とする。5×103cells/マウス以上の投与群でB16-NY-ESO-1腫瘍の増大が有意に抑制された(図1-3)。本実験に用いたaAVC(3T3)-NY-ESO-1のNY-ESO-1の発現量は、245ng/1×106cellsであった。
ヒト型aAVC-NY-ESO-1細胞を以下の方法で作製した。NY-ESO-1、CD1d、及びTet3G遺伝子をそれぞれ搭載したプラスミドを用いてレンチウイルスを作製し、該レンチウイルスを用いてFreeStyle 293-F細胞(Thermo Fisher Scientific社、Cat.R79007)に該遺伝子を導入することにより、NY-ESO-1、CD1d、及びTet3Gを発現するaAVC細胞を構築した。
