Description

青蒿素在靶向抑制髓系来源的抑制性细胞及其在制备肿瘤免疫治疗药物中的应用 技术领域
本发明属于生物医药技术领域,具体涉及青蒿素在靶向抑制髓系来源的抑制性细胞及其在制备肿瘤免疫治疗药物中的应用。
背景技术
肿瘤微环境中髓系来源的抑制性细胞(myeloid-derived suppressor cells, MDSCs)是一群异质性细胞,来源于骨髓祖细胞和未成熟髓细胞,是树突状细胞、巨噬细胞和粒细胞的前体。在荷瘤小鼠的血液、脾脏和肿瘤组织及肿瘤患者的外周血和肿瘤组织存在大量MDSCs的扩增。小鼠MDSCs 被定义为共表达Gr-1和CD11b的细胞。根据Gr-1的抗原表位Ly6G和Ly6C 两种分子表达的不同,小鼠MDSCs 可分为粒细胞样MDSCs (G-MDSCs,CD11b +Ly6G +Ly6C low ) 和单核细胞样MDSCs (M-MDSCs,CD11b + Ly6G -Ly6C high ) 两种亚型。前者在形态学上与多形核粒细胞相似,后者则具有单核细胞的形态。人的MDSCs 还没有统一的表面标记可用于鉴定,目前的研究表明也存在不同表型的人类MDSCs亚型,其中包括CD14 +CD11b +HLA-DR low单核细胞样MDSCs和CD15 +粒细胞样MDSCs。M-MDSCs主要通过高表达精氨酸酶活性以抗原非特异性的方式抑制T细胞功能,而G-MDSCs则利用活性氧簇ROS作为免疫介质以抗原特异性地方式抑制T细胞反应。
基于MDSCs在肿瘤生长中发挥的作用,人们正在积极探索不同的治疗放法,目前治疗策略主要分为三种:第一类治疗策略是诱导MDSCs分化,如舒尼替尼和全反式维甲酸(ATRA)或维生素D3它们可以将MDSCs分化为例如树突状细胞(DC)和刺激性单核细胞等更成熟的细胞,显示出抗肿瘤疗效,多西他赛(docetaxel ,DTX)是紫杉醇的类似物,主要通过抑制 MDSCs的STAT3磷酸化和促使 MDSCs向M1分化来减弱 MDSC 的抑制作用;第二类治疗策略是减少MDSCs聚集,临床前以及临床实验表明低剂量吉西他滨和5-氟尿嘧啶均可以减少体内MDSCs的含量。吉西他滨(gemcitabine ,GEM)是一种嘧啶核苷类似物的抗代谢药,可以抑制核酸还原酶和DNA聚合酶α,阻止 DNA 的合成。临床上广泛用于胰腺癌、肺癌、乳腺癌等多种肿瘤的治疗。在多种肿瘤动物模型中,GEM通过降低 MDSCs的数量来抵抗肿瘤免疫。同样地,另一种抗代谢药5-氟尿嘧啶(5-Fu)小剂量应用时也能诱导MDSCs凋亡,而对T细胞、B细胞及NK细胞的数量没有明显影响,机制可能是MDSCs低表达胸苷酸合成酶。因此,GEM对MDSCs的作用主要表现为诱导凋亡。阿霉素(adriamycin,ADM )是蒽环类抗生素,其代谢活性物嵌入DNA碱基中形成复合体,抑制 DNA 合成和转录。在多种荷瘤小鼠模型中发现ADM具有免疫调节效应,能选择性地清除和灭活MDSCs;趋化因子受体CXCR2拮抗剂已在多个临床前肿瘤模型中得到验证,通过阻断YAP-1-CXCL5抑制MDSCs积聚,可能成为MDSCs积聚的抑制剂;第三类治疗策略是抑制MDSCs免疫抑制功能,其中环氧化酶2(COX2)抑制剂、ROS抑制剂、5型磷酸二酯酶(PDE-5)抑制剂、硝基阿司匹林以及合成三菇类化合物均可以通过降低Arg-1、iNOS或NOX2等关键蛋白的表达起到抑制MDSCs的作用。阿扎胞苷(5-azacytidine ,AZA)是一种去甲基化药物,在小鼠 TC-1/A9和TRAMP‐C2肿瘤模型中可观察到,能减少MDSCs聚集和抑制MDSCs功能。
目前通过靶向MDSCs改善免疫治疗效果是该领域研究热点,但是已发表的相关研究中这些药物均具有靶点单一、容易产生耐药以及对机体毒副作用大等缺点。CXCR2 除表达于 MDSCs表面外,仍表达于成熟的中性粒细胞等;化疗药物引起MDSCs凋亡的同时诱导效应性细胞的凋亡;全反式维甲酸促进 MDSCs 向成熟细胞分化的同时诱导肿瘤相关的巨噬细胞和 Treg 细胞的产生。因此,上述手段只能部分恢复免疫治疗效果,进一步增强免疫治疗效应则迫切需要开发广谱性、多靶点、不易耐药和安全可靠的MDSCs靶向药物来改善免疫治疗效果,提高临床转化的安全性和有效性。
青蒿素(Artemisinin,ART)及其衍生物是一类含有过氧基团的倍半萜内酯类药物,现已成为国际社会上普遍认可并投入使用的抗疟疾首选药物,近年来,人们发现青蒿素及其衍生物不仅具有神奇的抗疟疾作用,而且具有抗肿瘤和免疫调节作用。虽然目前的研究已经试图开始尝试利用青蒿素来治疗肿瘤疾病,但目前尚无研究报道青蒿素靶向抑制髓系来源的抑制性细胞的疗法和抗PD-L1抗体组合的联合免疫疗法。

实施例3
在C57BL/6小鼠体内分别建立B16F10、Hepa1-6两种肿瘤模型,验证体内青蒿素抑制肿瘤生长的效果,并与anti-PD-L1抗体联用增强anti-PD-L1免疫疗法。
