Description
本发明属于生物技术领域,具体涉及一种用于增加免疫检查点抑制剂治疗效应的副干酪乳杆菌株及其应用。The invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, and in particular relates to a Lactobacillus paracasei strain for increasing the therapeutic effect of an immune checkpoint inhibitor and its application.
免疫检查点抑制剂(immune checkpoint inhibitor,ICI),是针对相应免疫检查点的单抗类药物,阻断肿瘤细胞通过免疫检查点对免疫细胞的抑制作用,使免疫细胞能够发挥对肿瘤细胞的杀伤作用。目前有3类ICI批准上市,包括程序性死亡分子-1(programmed death-1,PD-1)单抗、程序性死亡配体-1(programmed death ligand-1,PD-L1)单抗、以及细胞毒性T淋巴细胞相关蛋白-4(cytotoxic T-lymphocyte associated protein 4,CTLA-4)单抗。ICI自问世以来用于治疗多种肿瘤,在20%-30%的患者中取得了肯定的疗效,部分晚期肿瘤患者经过ICI治疗后甚至完全缓解,能够长期生存,成为肿瘤免疫治疗历史上重要的里程碑,为恶性肿瘤患者带来新的希望。但是,大部分肿瘤患者ICI初始治疗无效,或在初始治疗后继发耐药,发现克服ICI耐药的方法,进一步提高ICI疗效,成为肿瘤学治疗领域的难点。Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are monoclonal antibodies targeting the corresponding immune checkpoints, blocking the inhibitory effect of tumor cells on immune cells through immune checkpoints, enabling immune cells to kill tumor cells. effect. There are currently 3 types of ICIs approved for marketing, including programmed death-1 (PD-1) monoclonal antibody, programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) monoclonal antibody, and Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) monoclonal antibody. ICI has been used to treat a variety of tumors since its inception, and has achieved positive results in 20%-30% of patients. Some patients with advanced tumors even have complete remission after ICI treatment and can survive for a long time, which has become an important part in the history of tumor immunotherapy. A milestone, bringing new hope to patients with malignant tumors. However, the initial treatment of ICI in most tumor patients is ineffective, or secondary drug resistance occurs after the initial treatment. Finding a method to overcome the resistance of ICI and further improve the efficacy of ICI has become a difficulty in the field of oncology treatment.
近几年的研究表明,患者肠道菌群是导致PD-1抗体等ICI疗效个体差异的原因之一。2020年12月,Science在线刊发了以色列特拉维夫大学医学中心研究发现:10名对PD-1抗体治疗无响应的患者移植了对PD-1抗体治疗有积极响应患者的肠道菌群后,有3名患者对PD-1抗体治疗出现积极响应,其中1名晚期患者达到完全缓解,这些患者肿瘤组织内CD8
+T淋巴细胞显著增加。这3名患者都接受了同一个供体的肠道菌群,而接受另1位供体肠道菌群的五名患者没有效应。2021年2月,《Science》发表了UPMC Hillman癌症中心和美国国家癌症研究所的研究成果:改变肠道菌群可以提高晚期黑色素瘤患者的免疫治疗效果。在这项研究中,研究人员对抗PD-1抗体无效的黑色素瘤患者进行了肠道菌群移植和PD-1抗体免疫治疗,在接受菌群移植和PD-1抗体联合治疗的15名晚期黑色素瘤患者中,有6名肿瘤减少或疾病稳定持续了超过一年。这些应答者肿瘤微环境中的免疫CD8T细胞激活增加,而非应答者的免疫抑制细胞增加。
Studies in recent years have shown that the intestinal flora of patients is one of the reasons for the individual differences in the efficacy of ICIs such as PD-1 antibodies. In December 2020, Science published a study online from Tel Aviv University Medical Center in Israel. It found that 10 patients who did not respond to PD-1 antibody therapy were transplanted with the intestinal flora of patients who responded positively to PD-1 antibody therapy. Three patients responded positively to PD-1 antibody therapy, and one of the advanced patients achieved complete remission, and these patients had a significant increase in CD8 + T lymphocytes in the tumor tissue. All three patients received gut microbiota from the same donor, while five patients who received gut microbiota from another donor had no effect. In February 2021, "Science" published research results from UPMC Hillman Cancer Center and the US National Cancer Institute: Altering the gut microbiota can improve the efficacy of immunotherapy in patients with advanced melanoma. In this study, the researchers performed gut microbiota transplantation and PD-1 antibody immunotherapy in melanoma patients who were refractory to anti-PD-1 antibodies. Of the patients with tumor, 6 had tumor reduction or stable disease lasting more than one year. These responders had increased activation of immune CD8 T cells in the tumor microenvironment, whereas non-responders had increased immunosuppressive cells.
近年来人们从肠道菌群中分离到了多个菌株,可以促进PD-1抗体的抗肿瘤效应。法国免疫学家研究了249名应用PD-1抗体的肿瘤患者,发现接受PD-1抗体治疗前或期间服用抗生素,其PD-1抗体治疗效果显著下降。移植对PD-1抗体有良好响应者肠道菌群的小鼠,对PD-1抗体的响应更好。PD-1治疗响应者肠道菌群中阿克曼菌(Akkermansia muciniphila)显著富集。对PD-1抗体响应较差的小鼠通过喂食阿克曼菌可以产生好的响应,其肿瘤微环境中效应淋巴细胞显著增加。MD Anderson癌症中心研究发现,那些肠道微生物种类多样性高的患者对PD-1抗体治疗响应率高,CD8
+T淋巴细胞显著增加,其肠道中梭菌目细菌(Clostridiales bacteria)和粪杆菌(Faecalibaterium)含量高;类似的,移植了响应PD-1抗体治疗患者菌群的荷瘤小鼠对PD-1抗体有更好的治疗效应。美国芝加哥大学也发现,在转移性黑色素瘤患者中,患者肠道共生微生物组与PD-1抗体的疗效相关,其肠道菌群中双歧杆菌(Bifidobaterium)等显著富集。紧接着,Nature报道了日本科学家团队鉴定出能够协同增强免疫检查点抑制剂作用的肠道菌群中11种细菌菌株“组合”(11-mix)。他们在小鼠试验中发现口服11-mix可以增加肿瘤微环境中IFN-γ
+CD8T细胞,提高免疫检查点抑制剂(PD-1抗体、CTLA-4抗体)的抗肿瘤效果。
In recent years, multiple strains have been isolated from the intestinal flora, which can promote the anti-tumor effect of PD-1 antibodies. French immunologists studied 249 tumor patients with PD-1 antibodies and found that taking antibiotics before or during PD-1 antibody treatment significantly reduced the efficacy of PD-1 antibody treatment. Mice transplanted with gut microbiota that responded well to PD-1 antibodies responded better to PD-1 antibodies. Akkermansia muciniphila was significantly enriched in the gut microbiota of PD-1 treatment responders. Mice that responded poorly to PD-1 antibodies responded well by feeding Akkermansiac, with a significant increase in effector lymphocytes in the tumor microenvironment. The MD Anderson Cancer Center study found that those patients with high diversity of gut microbial species had a high response rate to PD-1 antibody therapy, a significant increase in CD8 + T lymphocytes, and Clostridiales bacteria and Faecalibacterium in their guts. Faecalibaterium); similarly, tumor-bearing mice transplanted with microbiota that responded to PD-1 antibody treatment had a better therapeutic effect on PD-1 antibody. The University of Chicago also found that in patients with metastatic melanoma, the intestinal commensal microbiome was associated with the efficacy of PD-1 antibodies, and Bifidobaterium was significantly enriched in the intestinal flora. Next, Nature reported that a team of Japanese scientists identified 11 bacterial strains "combinations" (11-mix) in the gut microbiota that synergistically enhance the effects of immune checkpoint inhibitors. In mouse experiments, they found that oral administration of 11-mix could increase IFN-γ + CD8 T cells in the tumor microenvironment and improve the anti-tumor effect of immune checkpoint inhibitors (PD-1 antibody, CTLA-4 antibody).
尽管临床前的动物实验和临床小样本的研究发现肠道菌群影响ICI的治疗效应,但是肠道菌群影响ICI的治疗效应的机制还很不清晰。不同供体肠道菌群对ICI效应的影响不同;同一个供体的菌群移植给不同受体后,对ICI治疗效应的影响也不相同;同时,来自法国、美国和日本的科学家分离获得的影响ICI治疗效应的肠道细菌也完全不同。这些差异意味着深入研究肠道菌群如何影响PD-1抗体等ICI制剂的治疗效应,发现肠道菌群中新的影响ICI治疗效应的菌种,解析其分子机制,对于有效地克服ICI耐药有重要意义。Although preclinical animal experiments and small clinical studies have found that the intestinal flora affects the therapeutic effect of ICI, the mechanism by which the intestinal flora affects the therapeutic effect of ICI is still unclear. Different donors have different effects on the effect of ICI; the same donor's flora has different effects on ICI treatment after transplantation to different recipients; at the same time, scientists from France, the United States and Japan isolated and obtained The gut bacteria that influence the effects of ICI treatment are also quite different. These differences mean in-depth study of how the gut microbiota affects the therapeutic effect of ICI preparations such as PD-1 antibodies, discovering new bacterial species in the gut microbiota that affect the therapeutic effect of ICI, and analyzing its molecular mechanism, which is essential for effectively overcoming ICI resistance. Medicine is important.

收集上述肿瘤患者和健康供体肠道菌群构建的肠道菌群人源化小鼠的肠道、血液、脾脏、结肠和粪便样本。用16S测序粪便样本中肠道菌群,并分析其PD-1抗体的治疗后小鼠细胞因子的表达情况以及免疫细胞数量和分类,探索肠道菌群中与PD-1抗体的治疗效应的相关性。我们发现肠道菌群的分类进化树(图3A)、LDA评分(图3B)、属水平分析(图3C)、相对丰度比较(图3D)均提示健康供体的肠道中乳酸菌显著增高;并且免疫细胞与肠道菌群的相关性分析(图3E-I)提示肠道中乳酸菌的数量与免疫杀伤细胞正相关。The gut, blood, spleen, colon and fecal samples of mice with gut microbiota constructed from the gut microbiota of the above tumor patients and healthy donors were collected. 16S was used to sequence the intestinal flora in stool samples, and analyze the expression of cytokines and the number and classification of immune cells in mice treated with PD-1 antibody, to explore the relationship between the intestinal flora and the therapeutic effect of PD-1 antibody. Correlation. We found that the taxonomic evolutionary tree (Fig. 3A), LDA score (Fig. 3B), genus-level analysis (Fig. 3C), and relative abundance comparison (Fig. 3D) of gut microbiota all indicated that Lactobacillus was significantly increased in the gut of healthy donors; And the correlation analysis between immune cells and intestinal flora (Figure 3E-I) suggested that the number of lactic acid bacteria in the intestine was positively correlated with immune killer cells.

利用MRS乳酸菌选择性培养基,对PD-1抗体有良好促进效应的健康供体的粪便样本进行分离培养,我们获得能够高效扩增的多株乳酸菌。接着,我们在C57BL/6小鼠,先用万古霉素、新霉素、甲硝唑和氨苄青霉素组成的抗生素组合(ATB)处理7天,清除小鼠肠道菌群;然后给予培养的L.paracasei-sh202020μl灌胃10天,以其他乳酸菌种以及健康供体的肠道菌群各20μl灌胃作为对照;接着,给小鼠接种MC38细胞,种瘤后每周两次测量肿瘤体积,绘制肿瘤生长曲线;7天后肿瘤大小150-200mm
3,给予PD-1抗体治疗21天;种瘤后28天,评估肿瘤大小,处死小鼠并取小鼠肠道、血液、脾脏、结肠和粪便样本。我们发现用抗生素清除肠道菌群后,制作肠道菌群人源化荷瘤小鼠,给予乳酸菌混合物显著增强PD-1抗体的治疗效应(图4A-D);在肿瘤患者肠道菌群人源化荷瘤小鼠,补充副干酪乳杆菌株L.paracasei-sh2020具有最显著的增强PD-1抗体的治疗效应(图4E);在抗生素清除肠道菌群的小鼠,给予副干酪乳杆菌株L.paracasei-sh2020同样显著地增强PD-1抗体的治疗效应(图4F)。接下来,使用流式细胞术检查对照和副干酪乳杆菌株L.paracasei-sh2020处理的肿瘤的免疫细胞浸润,结果显示L.paracasei-sh2020处理的肿瘤中CD8

Using MRS lactic acid bacteria selective medium, we isolated and cultured fecal samples from healthy donors with good PD-1 antibody promoting effect, and we obtained multiple strains of lactic acid bacteria that can be efficiently amplified. Next, we treated C57BL/6 mice with an antibiotic combination (ATB) consisting of vancomycin, neomycin, metronidazole and ampicillin for 7 days to clear the intestinal flora of the mice; 20 μl of .paracasei-sh2020 was administered by gavage for 10 days, and 20 μl of other lactic acid bacteria species and the intestinal flora of healthy donors were administered as controls; then, mice were inoculated with MC38 cells, and tumor volumes were measured twice a week after tumor inoculation, and plotted Tumor growth curve; 7 days after tumor size 150-200mm 3 , PD-1 antibody treatment was given for 21 days; 28 days after tumor seeding, tumor size was assessed, mice were sacrificed and mouse intestinal, blood, spleen, colon and stool samples were taken . We found that after the gut microbiota was cleared with antibiotics, humanized tumor-bearing mice with intestinal microflora were made, and the lactic acid bacteria mixture was administered to significantly enhance the therapeutic effect of PD-1 antibody (Fig. 4A-D); Humanized tumor-bearing mice supplemented with L. paracasei strain L. paracasei-sh2020 had the most significant enhanced therapeutic effect of PD-1 antibody (Fig. 4E); in mice with antibiotic clearance of intestinal flora, administration of paracasei Lactobacillus strain L. paracasei-sh2020 also significantly enhanced the therapeutic effect of PD-1 antibody (Fig. 4F). Next, the control and L. paracasei strain L. paracasei-sh2020-treated tumors were examined for immune cell infiltration using flow cytometry, and the results showed that CD8 + T cells expanded significantly in L. paracasei-sh2020-treated tumors, while other No significant changes were found in immune cells (Fig. 5A). Furthermore, IFNγ + CD8 + T cells were significantly increased after L. paracasei-sh2020 treatment (Fig. 5B-C). To determine which T cell subsets were required for L. paracasei-sh2020 to enhance PD-1 antibody efficacy, CD4 + or CD8 + T cells were depleted using neutralizing antibodies against CD8, CD4 in vivo (Fig. 5D). Depletion of CD8 + T cells completely abolished the effect of L. paracasei-sh2020, indicating that CD8 + T cells are essential for L. paracasei-sh2020 to enhance anti-tumor immunity of PD-1 antibodies. In contrast, depletion of CD4 + T cells did not affect the antitumor effect of L. paracasei strain L. paracasei-sh2020 combined with PD-1 antibody (Fig. 5E). Overall, L.paracasei-sh2020 significantly enhanced the therapeutic effect of PD-1 antibody, promoted CD8 + T cell infiltration and induced CD8 + T cell-dependent antitumor immunity.
进一步,对副干酪乳杆菌株L.paracasei-sh2020全基因测序,组装出来的基因组与NCBI数据中副干酪乳杆菌比对分析,发现其序列与已知菌株相似度约为77.56%,该副干酪乳杆菌株为新菌株,命名为L.paracasei-sh2020(图6),已送中国典型培养物保藏中心保藏,编号CCTCC NO:M 2020474。Further, the whole gene sequence of L. paracasei-sh2020 was sequenced, and the assembled genome was compared with L. paracasei in the NCBI data, and it was found that its sequence similarity with known strains was about 77.56%. The Lactobacillus strain is a new strain, named L. paracasei-sh2020 (Fig. 6), and has been sent to the China Center for Type Culture Collection for preservation under the number CCTCC NO: M 2020474.
