本发明涉及生物制品,具体涉及同时靶向GPC3和CD276的嵌合抗原受体、嵌合抗原受体T细胞及其制备方法和应用。The present invention relates to biological products, in particular to a chimeric antigen receptor targeting GPC3 and CD276, a chimeric antigen receptor T cell, and a preparation method and application thereof.
背景技术Background technique
肝细胞癌是常见的恶性肿瘤,占所有原发性肝癌的90%,是全球第二大致死性癌症。大多数肝细胞癌病人接受局部或系统性疗法,比如化疗、放疗、肝切除术、皮肤乙醇注射、射频消融术、各种栓塞疗法、抗体疗法如免疫检查点抑制剂、血管内皮生长因子受体抑制剂和靶向疗法如索拉菲尼,然而这些疗法的疗效都是不够的(Lee, Y.H., et al., Combinational Immunotherapy for Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Radiotherapy, Immune Checkpoint Blockade and Beyond. Frontiers in Immunology, 2020. 11),对病人和病人的家庭造成了难以挽回的伤害。因此迫切需要新的治疗肝细胞癌的药物。Hepatocellular carcinoma is a common malignancy, accounting for 90% of all primary liver cancers, and is the second most deadly cancer worldwide. Most patients with HCC receive local or systemic therapies such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, hepatectomy, dermal alcohol injections, radiofrequency ablation, various embolization therapies, antibody therapies such as immune checkpoint inhibitors, vascular endothelial growth factor receptor Inhibitors and targeted therapies such as sorafenib, however the efficacy of these therapies is insufficient (Lee, Y.H., et al., Combinational Immunotherapy for Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Radiotherapy, Immune Checkpoint Blockade and Beyond. Frontiers in Immunology, 2020. 11), causing irreparable harm to patients and their families. Therefore, new drugs for the treatment of HCC are urgently needed.
CAR-T(嵌合抗原受体T细胞)技术是近年来发展火热的细胞免疫疗法,它通过基因工程手段(例如基于重组病毒载体的转导)使嵌合抗原受体表达在T细胞表面,通过在体外制备和扩增嵌合抗原受体T细胞,然后回输至人体,激活自身免疫系统,发挥对肿瘤细胞的高效杀伤(Rafiq, S., C.S. Hackett, and R.J. Brentjens, Engineering strategies to overcome the current roadblocks in CAR T cell therapy. Nature Reviews Clinical Oncology, 2020. 17(3): p. 147-167. Benmebarek, M.R., et al., Killing Mechanisms of Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T Cells. International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2019. 20(6).)。嵌合抗原受体T细胞技术被认为是最有可能攻克癌症的疗法,并且靶向CD19的CAR-T细胞在血液肿瘤中产生了良好的效果。目前全球已有6款CAR-T药物获批上市,展现了CAR-T细胞在治疗恶性肿瘤中的巨大应用前景。CAR-T (Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cell) technology is a hot cellular immunotherapy developed in recent years. It uses genetic engineering (such as transduction based on recombinant virus vectors) to express chimeric antigen receptors on the surface of T cells. By preparing and expanding chimeric antigen receptor T cells in vitro, and then infusing them back into the human body, they can activate the autoimmune system and effectively kill tumor cells (Rafiq, S., C.S. Hackett, and R.J. Brentjens, Engineering strategies to overcome the current roadblocks in CAR T cell therapy. Nature Reviews Clinical Oncology, 2020. 17(3): p. 147-167. Benmebarek, M.R., et al., Killing Mechanisms of Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T Cells. International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2019. 20(6).). Chimeric antigen receptor T cell technology is considered to be the most likely therapy to overcome cancer, and CAR-T cells targeting CD19 have produced good results in blood tumors. At present, 6 CAR-T drugs have been approved for marketing in the world, showing the great application prospects of CAR-T cells in the treatment of malignant tumors.
然而CAR-T细胞治疗面临肿瘤抗原异质性表达、抗原丢失的难题。首先在急性淋巴细胞白血病中,CD19阴性细胞群可以逃避靶向CD19嵌合抗原受体T细胞的识别,导致细胞群的过度生长,产生疾病的复发。另外在胰腺癌、前列腺癌和神经母细胞瘤的临床前研究中,单抗原靶向的嵌合抗原受体T细胞并不能根除肿瘤,这是因为嵌合抗原受体T细胞不能识别这些肿瘤细胞表达的低密度的靶抗原(Anurathapan, U.; Chan, R.C.; Hindi, H.F.; Mucharla, R.; Bajgain, P.; Hayes, B.C.; Fisher, W.E.; Heslop, H.E.;Rooney, C.M.; Brenner, M.K.; et al. Kinetics of tumor destruction by chimeric antigen receptor-modified t cells. Mol. Ther. 2014, 22, 623–633. O’Rourke, D.M.; Nasrallah, M.P.; Desai, A.; Melenhorst, J.J.; Mansfield, K.; Morrissette, J.J.D.; Martinez-Lage, M.; Brem, S.; Maloney, E.; Shen, A.; et al. A single dose of peripherally infused egfrviii-directed car t cells mediates antigen loss and induces adaptive resistance in patients with recurrent glioblastoma. Sci. Transl. Med. 2017, 9, eaaa0984)。在肝细胞癌中,血清中GPC3含量升高,抑制了靶向GPC3的嵌合抗原受体T细胞与细胞表面GPC3的结合,阻碍了嵌合抗原受体T细胞的疗效(Sun, L., et al., Shed antigen-induced blocking effect on CAR-T cells targeting Glypican-3 in Hepatocellular Carcinoma. Journal for Immunotherapy of Cancer, 2021. 9(4))。 However, CAR-T cell therapy faces the problems of heterogeneous expression of tumor antigens and loss of antigens. First, in acute lymphoblastic leukemia, CD19-negative cell populations can escape the recognition of CD19-targeted chimeric antigen receptor T cells, leading to overgrowth of cell populations and relapse of the disease. In addition, in preclinical studies of pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, and neuroblastoma, chimeric antigen receptor T cells targeting single antigens failed to eradicate tumors because chimeric antigen receptor T cells could not recognize these tumor cells Low-density expression of target antigens (Anurathapan, U.; Chan, RC; Hindi, HF; Mucharla, R.; Bajgain, P.; Hayes, BC; Fisher, WE; Heslop, HE; Rooney, CM; Brenner, MK ; et al. Kinetics of tumor destruction by chimeric antigen receptor-modified t cells. Mol. Ther. 2014, 22 , 623–633. O'Rourke, DM; Nasrallah, MP; Desai, A.; Melenhorst, JJ; K.; Morrissette, JJD; Martinez-Lage, M.; Brem, S.; Maloney, E.; Shen, A.; et al. A single dose of peripherally infused egfrviii-directed car t cells mediates antigen loss and induces adaptive resistance in patients with recurrent glioblastoma. Sci. Transl. Med. 2017, 9 , eaaa0984). In hepatocellular carcinoma, elevated levels of GPC3 in serum inhibit the binding of GPC3-targeting CAR T cells to cell surface GPC3, hindering the efficacy of CAR T cells (Sun, L., et al., Shed antigen-induced blocking effect on CAR-T cells targeting Glypican-3 in Hepatocellular Carcinoma. Journal for Immunotherapy of Cancer, 2021. 9(4)).
CD276又称为B7-H3,是属于B7家族的一类跨膜蛋白。CD276在多种癌症中高表达,包括肺腺癌、胶质瘤、神经母细胞瘤、胰腺癌、卵巢癌,在正常组织中几乎不表达。特异性识别CD276的单克隆抗体在多种肿瘤模型中介导肿瘤的有效清除。CD276在肝细胞癌高表达并且与肝癌的进展和肿瘤病人的不良预后相关,靶向CD276的CAR-T细胞在体外能有效的杀伤肝细胞癌细胞系。但单靶点的CAR-T细胞治疗实体瘤(例如肝细胞癌)面临抗原异质性表达的障碍。CD276, also known as B7-H3, is a type of transmembrane protein belonging to the B7 family. CD276 is highly expressed in a variety of cancers, including lung adenocarcinoma, glioma, neuroblastoma, pancreatic cancer, and ovarian cancer, and is hardly expressed in normal tissues. Monoclonal antibodies that specifically recognize CD276 mediate efficient tumor clearance in a variety of tumor models. CD276 is highly expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma and is associated with the progression of liver cancer and the poor prognosis of tumor patients. CAR-T cells targeting CD276 can effectively kill hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines in vitro. However, the single-target CAR-T cell therapy for solid tumors (such as hepatocellular carcinoma) faces the obstacle of heterogeneous expression of antigens.
