- CTCs Circulating tumor cells
- Cancer stem cells have attracted attention as cancer cells involved in cancer recurrence and/or metastasis. Cancer stem cells exist within tumors and can exist in a quiescent phase (G0 phase) out of the self-proliferating phase. In addition, cancer stem cells have the ability to self-proliferate and can divide into cancer stem cells identical to self and differentiated cancer cells. Such splitting is called asymmetric splitting. Cancer stem cells can be refractory to conventional cancer therapies such as chemotherapy due to these characteristics.

- CTCs circulating tumor cells
- Liebelin is not expressed in cancer cells cultured in an anchorage-dependent manner by adhesion culture, but becomes expressed in cancer cells cultured in an anchorage-independent manner by suspension culture, and It was found to be expressed in CTCs derived from biological samples.
- the present inventors have found that cancer cells expressing leavelin are involved in lymph node metastasis.
- the present inventors found that cancer cells expressing leavelin express indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase-1 (IDO1), which is involved in suppressing T cell function and inducing differentiation of regulatory T cells. I found out more. In addition, the present inventors have found that contact with cells expressing leavelin induces the differentiation of monocytes into dendritic cells expressing IDO1. These findings indicate that cancer cells expressing leavelin form a tumor microenvironment (TME) that can evade attack from the immune system. Based on these findings, the present inventors have found that cancer cells expressing leavelin play an important role in recurrence, metastasis, or resistance, and completed the present invention.
- TAE tumor microenvironment
- the present inventor found that surviving cancer cells surrounded by necrotic cancer cells inside the primary tumor tissue express turns tolin.
- cancer cells expressing leavelin can evade attack from the immune system and metastasize within lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, and blood vessels. Based on these findings, the present inventors have found that cancer cells expressing Liebelin can be cancer stem cells, and completed the present invention.

- cancer stem cell means a cancer cell with quiescence.
- the term “stationary phase” refers to a period of time during which the viable cell density is approximately constant (ie within measurement error). Cancer stem cells in quiescent phase have, for example, a substantially constant viable cell density for at least 24 hours (eg, 36 hours or longer). Cancer stem cells can divide asymmetrically when they exit the quiescent phase and are in the proliferative phase.
- the term “asymmetric division” refers to cell division that produces daughter cells that are distinct from each other. Asymmetric division of cancer stem cells can give rise to cancer stem cells and cancer cells differentiated from cancer stem cells.
- proliferative phase refers to the period during which viable cell density increases. The growth phase can be divided into a DNA synthesis phase (S phase), a division phase (M phase), and a gap phase (G1 phase and G2 phase) between these phases by morphological or biochemical measurements. .
- biomarker consists of biosubstances such as peptides (including proteins) or nucleic acids (including genes or their transcripts) present in cells, tissues, or body fluids, and the amount and concentration of these biomarkers can indicate disease.

- Example 5 Effect of Liebelin on immune cell system
- the CaSki cell line was subjected to shaking culture for 24 hours in an ultra-low adhesion culture plate in the same manner as in Example 1 to form cancer cell spheroids in suspension.

- the expression level of Liebelin (LVRN) was approximately four times higher in suspension culture than in adherent culture of CaSki cells (LVRN, left side of FIG. 6). The results were similar to those of Example 2 (Fig. 4c).
- the expression level of IDO1 was about 23 times higher in suspension culture than in adherent culture of CaSki cells (IDO1 on the right side of FIG. 6). This result indicates that the expression of IDO1 is enhanced in cancer cell spheroids expressing leavelin.
- IDO1 expression in tumor cells can induce differentiation of regulatory T cells (Treg) in the peritumoral environment and promote cancer cell survival (Liu et al., Targeting the IDO1 pathway in cancer: from bench to bedside. Journal of Hematology & Oncology (2016) 11:100).
- IDO1 degrades tryptophan. Tryptophan is essential for T cell function and survival.
- Tumor cells that highly express IDO1 degrade tryptophan present in their surroundings, so that the activity of T cells is suppressed in the vicinity of said tumor cells. Based on these, Example 5 shows that cancer cells expressing therapeutically or spheroids containing the cancer cells highly express IDO1, thereby inducing Treg differentiation and avoiding attacks from the immune system. suggest that it is possible.
- Examples 3-5 show that cancer cells expressing onlin can avoid attack from the immune system in the blood due to the expression of IDO1, thereby circulating in the blood and circulating in the primary tumor tissue. suggests that it can grow at different sites. This indicates that cancer cells expressing leavelin play an important role in cancer recurrence and/or metastasis.

There was no significant difference in the expression levels of the four genes examined (Fig. 7b).
- Example 6 shows that contact with cells expressing Liebelin increases the expression of specific genes in monocytic cells.
- THP-1 cells were cultured in the presence of fluorescent dye-labeled rLVRN and observed under a microscope. As a result, rLVRN present in THP-1 cells was observed. This result indicates that Liebelin is taken up by monocytes.

Since pDC is DC11c( ⁇ )CD123(+), dendritic cells differentiated by Liebelin are considered to be different from the pDC subset. This result is the same as in Example 9.
- Example 12 Action of anti-risonerin antibody on cancer cells expressing rieberin An anti-rieberin antibody was applied to cancer cells expressing rieberin. Intracellular uptake of cell surface Lieberin was observed upon application of a monoclonal anti-Lieberin antibody.
- Melanoma cells A375 1,000 cells in 20 ⁇ L of culture solution drop) were cultured for 1 day by the hanging drop method. Cultured A375 cells formed cell clusters. A375 cells expressing Liebelin were observed in the A375 cell cluster (Fig. 13a).
- Melanoma cells A375 (10 cells in 20 ⁇ L culture drop) were cultured for 1 day by the hanging drop method in the presence of pHrodo-conjugated anti-LVRN antibody.
- the cultured A375 cells formed 2 to 3 cell clusters, and A375 cells expressing leavelin were observed.
- Intracellular uptake of the pHrodo-conjugated anti-LVRN antibody was observed in A375 cells that expressed leavelin (Fig. 13b).
- Intracellular uptake of cell membrane Lieberin by anti-Lieberin antibody was observed with all three types of antibodies (including 5-23 antibody) used in this example.
- Decreased cell surface Liebelin suggests that the differentiation of monocytes into IDO1-expressing dendritic cells may not be sufficiently induced, thereby exposing the cancer cells to attack from the immune system. This result suggests that anti- Kunststofferin antibodies can effectively treat recurrent and/or metastatic cancers identified for the presence of cancer cells expressing deficitin.
- the ovarian cancer cell line SKOV3 was cultured in suspension to form spheroids (Fig. 14a upper).
- An MMAE conjugated 5-23 antibody was prepared in which the cytotoxic agent monomethylauristatin E (MMAE) was conjugated to the monoclonal anti-leavelin antibody 5-23 antibody.
- the cancer cell spheroids were cultured for 7 days in the presence of MMAE-conjugated 5-23 antibody. Subsequently, the cancer cell spheroids were stained with propidium iodide (PI). Propidium iodide (PI)-stained cells (ie cell death) were observed (Fig. 14a middle panel). This result suggests that anti-Lieberin antibodies containing cytotoxic agents can effectively treat recurrent and/or metastatic cancers in which the presence of Lieberin-expressing cancer cells has been identified.
- PI propidium iodide
- cancer cell spheroids were formed and cultured in the presence of the MMAE conjugated 5-23 antibody in the same manner as for SKOV3.
- PI-stained cells ie cell death
- the middle panel of Figure 14b shows that there were PI-stained cells (ie cell death) in ovarian cancer cell spheroids cultured in the presence of MMAE unconjugated 5-23 antibody alone.
- This result suggests that the anti-leavelin antibody itself (without a cytotoxic agent conjugate) can treat recurrent and/or metastatic cancer.
- Cell death-inducing action by the anti-leavelin antibody itself was not observed in breast cancer cell line SKBR3 and melanoma SK-MEL28.
- FIG. 15 shows an immunostaining image of a lymph node near the afferent lymphatic vessel.
- FIG. 16 shows an immunostaining image of a lymph node near the efferent lymphatic vessel.
- Figure 15b shows the presence of floating cancer cell masses within the afferent lymphatics.
- FIG. 15c shows that cancer cells composing the cell mass express Lieberin.
- Figures 15d and 15e show the presence of low expression levels of leavelin-expressing cancer cells at tumor sites within metastatic lymph nodes.
- Figures 16a and 16b show the presence of cancer cell masses in the efferent lymphatics that have dislodged from the tumor site in the metastatic lymph nodes.
- Figures 16c to 16e show that cancer cells forming cancer cell clusters present in efferent lymphatic vessels express colors.
- FIG. 16c shows that cancer cells present in metastatic foci within lymph nodes do not express Liebelin.
- Example 13 shows that cancer cells expressing spiritualin that have escaped from the primary tumor site of ovarian cancer can reach lymph nodes through afferent lymphatic vessels, and that cancer cells expressing fatein that have reached lymph nodes proliferates in lymph nodes to form metastatic tumor tissue (including cancer cells with low levels of designlin and cancer cells that do not express metrolin), and elsewherein-expressing cancers that have left the metastatic tumor tissue We show that the cells can further metastasize through the efferent lymphatics.
- Example 13 shows that cancer cells involved in lymph node metastasis strongly express Liebelin under severe conditions for cell survival such as floating in lymph vessels, and adhere like metastatic foci. It shows weak or no expression of Liebelin under viable conditions.
- Immune cells are concentrated in lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes, and their immune function is high. Examples of the present specification show that cancer cells expressing tolin can avoid attack from the immune system by expressing IDO1 themselves, and monocytes that come into contact with tolin are transformed into dendritic cells expressing IDO1. It was shown that the induction of differentiation into cells makes it possible to avoid attacks from the immune system. These findings indicate that cancer cells expressing or capable of expressing leebelin may play an important role in cancer metastasis and/or recurrence, including lymph node metastasis, particularly in systemic metastasis.
- Example 14 Surviving cancer cells surrounded by necrotic cells inside the primary tumor tissue
- the primary tumor tissue of an ovarian cancer patient with metastatic cancer contained extensive necrotic areas (Fig. 17a). ). Residual tumor was found in areas surrounded by necrotic areas within the primary tumor tissue. The residual tumor expressed leavelin (Fig. 17b). No Liebelin expression was observed in necrotic areas (Fig. 17c). No Liebelin expression was observed in areas containing cancer cells surviving outside the necrotic area (Figs. 17d and 17e).
- Example 14 shows that cancer cells expressing leavelin can survive even under severe conditions such as necrosis of cancer cells, or that cancer cells expressing leavelin can survive under such severe conditions. , indicating that cancer cells capable of expressing Lieberin express Lieberin and remain viable.
- the results of Examples 13 and 14 suggest that cancer cells capable of expressing Lieberin express Lieberin and remain viable when subjected to conditions that are hostile to cell survival.
- blood vessels were present around the cancer cells expressing leavelin. This result suggests that cancer cells expressing leavelin, which may play an important role in cancer recurrence and/or metastasis, can be treated by anticancer agents infused into the blood.
- necrotic tumor tissue and residual small tumor tissue were observed (Fig. 18a). Most of the remaining tumor tissue is surrounded by necrotic tumor tissue. The remaining tumor tissue consisted of cancer cells expressing leavelin (Fig. 18b).
- Example F Patients with stage IIIC ovarian cancer received doxetaxel and carboplatin combination therapy (DC therapy) as NAC followed by ATH, BSO, OMT and low anterior rectal resection as IDS. The patient received DC therapy after IDS. The patient relapsed with peritoneal seeding one year after the DC therapy. Specimen F was an ovary removed by IDS. Sections of excised ovaries were prepared and immunostained with HE staining and anti-Liebelin antibody.
- DC therapy carboplatin combination therapy
- Fig. 18c In the ovarian cancer after DC therapy, some cancer cells were observed separately in the necrotic major tissue (Fig. 18c). The cancer cells are surrounded by necrotic tumor tissue. The cancer cells expressed leavelin (Fig. 18d).
- Example 15 shows that chemotherapy-resistant cancer cells express Liebelin. This result suggests that cancer cells expressing or capable of expressing leavelin are resistant to cancer therapies, including chemotherapy, and are susceptible to cancer recurrence and/or metastasis, particularly local recurrence. Show that it can play an important role.
- Ovarian cancer cell line A2780 was transformed to express Lieberin to generate A2780 LVRN.
- A2780 was transfected with an empty vector CAG to generate A2780 CAG (control).
- Female Balb/c nu/nu mice (6-8 weeks old) were injected with 5 ⁇ 10 6 cells/100 ⁇ LA2780 LVRN in two sites on the right side.
- Cancer cell-transplanted mice were prepared by injecting LA2780 CAG at 5 ⁇ 10 6 cells/100 ⁇ per site into two sites on the left side of the mouse. Ten cancer cell-transplanted mice were produced.
- MMAE-conjugated 5-23 antibody (10 mg/kg) was intra-tail injected into 5 cancer cell-implanted mice, and tumor size was measured.
- Two days and eight days after A2780 injection the remaining 5 cancer cell-implanted mice were injected with PBS via the tail, and the tumor size was measured.
- Fifteen days after A2780 injection the tumor size of 10 cancer cell-implanted mice was measured.
- FIG. 19 shows that administration of PBS to A2780 LVRN-implanted mice resulted in a tumor size of approximately 300 mm 3 15 days after A2780 LVRN injection. 15 shows that when A2780 LVRN-implanted mice were administered MMAE-conjugated 5-23 antibody, no tumors were visually observed 15 days after A2780 LVRN injection.
- Example 16 shows that tumors formed in vivo by cancer cells that express Lieberin are treated with anti-Lieberin antibodies containing chemotherapeutic agents.
- Example 17 Cancers Expressing Liebelin PSTT tissue was collected from each of three patients with placental trophoblastic tumors (PSTT). Frozen sections were prepared from the PSTT tissue. The frozen sections were immunostained with 5-23 antibody. The immunostaining revealed that Liebelin was expressed throughout the tumor tissue.
- Example 17 demonstrates that pharmaceutical compositions comprising anti- Kunststofferin antibodies can treat tumors that express wealthin (eg, PSTT).

(材料)
乳腺がん細胞として、MCF7細胞株、SKBR3細胞株およびBT20細胞株を用いた。メラノーマ細胞として、A375細胞株およびSK-MEL28細胞株を用いた。子宮体がん細胞として、HEC6細胞株およびHEC108細胞株を用いた。卵巣がん細胞として、SKOV3細胞株を用いた。
がん細胞を接着細胞用培養皿にて37℃で前培養した。90~100%コンフルエントに達した場合に培養細胞を回収した。回収した培養細胞を、1ウェルあたり1×105細胞となるように播種し、37℃で24時間静置培養した。
予め培養したがん細胞を、浮遊細胞用培養皿または超低接着培養プレートにて1ウェルあたり1~2×106細胞となるように播種し、37℃にて培養してスフェロイドを形成させた。培養細胞を回収して、フラスコに移した。前記フラスコを波動式シェーカーにて37℃で24~72時間培養した。
接着培養または浮遊培養した細胞を、4%パラホルムアルデヒドを用いて固定した。固定した細胞でのリーベリン発現を、抗リーベリン抗体(具体的にはモノクローナル5-23抗体(10μg/ml)または抗LVRN抗体を用いた)およびAlexa488でコンジュゲートしたヒツジ抗マウスIgG抗体を用いて調べた。核染色はHoechst33342を用いた。上記した各がん細胞株を接着培養した(比較例1~8)。陽性対照として、絨毛外栄養膜細胞(EVT)由来のSwan71細胞であって、リーベリンを過剰発現するSwan71 LVRNを用いた。
各培養細胞を、実施例1と同様にして接着培養または浮遊培養(72時間の振盪培養)し、培養がん細胞中のリーベリンの発現レベルを調べた(図3)。接着培養により足場依存的に培養させたA375細胞株(図3a~d)およびA2780細胞株(図3i~l)では、リーベリンの発現は観察されなかった(図3bおよび図3j)。浮遊状態により足場非依存的に培養させたがん細胞スフェロイドでは(図3e~hおよびm~p)、リーベリンの発現が観察された(図3fおよび図3n)。これらの結果は、実施例1での結果と同じであった。
A375細胞株およびA2780細胞株をそれぞれ接着培養した。培養細胞を回収して、全RNAをそれぞれ回収した。同様にして、前記細胞をそれぞれ波動式シェーカーを用いて浮遊培養し、スフェロイドを形成させた。前記スフェロイドを回収して、全RNAをそれぞれ回収した。回収した各全RNAを用いて、リーベリンをコードするmRNAの量をRT-qPCRにて測定した。前記mRNAの量は、リーベリンの発現レベルを反映する。RT-qPCRでは、リーベリン配列を増幅するプライマーセットおよび逆転写酵素を用いた。A375細胞では、接着培養した場合よりも浮遊培養した場合の方がリーベリンの発現量が約14倍多かった(図4a)。A2780細胞の場合も同様に、浮遊培養した場合の方がリーベリンの発現量は約8倍多かった(図4b)。
(材料)
メラノーマ細胞としてA375細胞株を用いた。結腸がん細胞として、HCT116細胞株を用いた。乳がん細胞として、HCC38細胞株を用いた。前立腺癌細胞として、LNCap細胞株、DU145細胞株およびPC-3細胞株を用いた。
予め培養したがん細胞を、超低接着培養プレートにて1ウェルあたり1×105細胞となるように播種し、37℃にて3~4日培養してスフェロイドを形成させた。培養細胞を回収して、フラスコに移した。前記フラスコを波動式シェーカーにて37℃で7日培養した。
形成されたスフェロイドを、実施例1と同様の方法で蛍光免疫染色法に供して、該スフェロイドがリーベリンを発現しているかについて試験した。リーベリンの免疫染色には5-23抗体を用いた。
浮遊培養したスフェロイドでの前記がん細胞におけるリーベリンの発現レベルを、実施例2と同様の方法でRT-qPCRにて測定した。また、接着培養した単層での前記がん細胞におけるリーベリンの発現量をRT-qPCRにて測定した。各発現レベルはHprt1の発現レベルに対して規格化した(図20)。
(CTCを分離する方法)
被験者由来の末梢血試料から末梢血単核球(PBMCs)を含む画分を回収した。前記画分からCD45を発現しているPBMCsを除外して、血中循環腫瘍細胞(CTC)を濃縮した血液試料を調製した。前記血液試料から、リーベリンおよびEpCAMを共発現しているCTCを特定した。特定したCTCを分離することで、CTCを調製した。
被験者から抹消血7mlを採取し、採取した全血をFicoll-Paque(登録商標)を用いた密度勾配遠心分離および比重遠心に供して、全血から末梢血単核球(PBMCs)を調製した。前記末梢血単核球と、マウス・モノクローナル抗LVRN抗体(10μg/ml)およびラビット・ポリクローナル抗EpCAM抗体(10μg/ml)とを混合し、得られた混合液を室温で30分間インキュベートした。前記混合液と、Alexa488コンジュゲート・ヤギ抗マウスIgG抗体(1:500希釈)およびCF555コンジュゲート・ヤギ抗ラビットIgG抗体(1:500)とを混合し、前記混合液を室温で30分間インキュベートした。前記混合液と、抗CD45抗体を固定化した磁気ビーズとを混合し、得られた混合液を4℃で15分間インキュベートした。インキュベート後に、前記混合液と、BV421コンジュゲート抗CD45抗体とを混合し、得られた混合液を4℃でさらに30分間インキュベートした。
用いたCTC基準は、LVRN陽性および/またはEpCAM陽性であって、CD45陰性である。CTCの存在が示されたウェルからCTCを含む培養液を回収し、前記培養液の液滴を35mm培養皿上に作製した。前記液滴中の細胞集団の中から、Unipick(登録商標)一細胞・組織ピッキング装置を用いて、CTC基準を満たす細胞を分離および回収した。
患者Aは、IIIB期の子宮頸がんに罹患し、多発性リンパ節転移を有した。患者Aは、同時化学放射線療法(CCRT)を受けた後に、がんが再発した。がん再発後、パクリタキセルとカルボプラチンの抗がん剤の組合せを用いた療法(TC療法)を受け、次いで、シスプラチンとビノレルビンの抗がん剤の組合せを用いた療法(NP療法)を受け、更に、イリノテカン(CPT-11)を用いた療法を受けた。CPT-11療法中止後に、患者Aから末梢血試料(検体A)を採取した。
(検体C)
患者Cは、IIIB期の子宮頸がんに罹患し、肝転移および多発性リンパ節転移を有した。子宮頸がんのステージがIIIB期となった後に、患者Cから末梢血試料(検体C)を採取した。
(CTC回収のための改良方法)
検体Cから、実施例3のCTC調製方法の改良方法を用いてCTCを分離した。実施例3のCTCの分離方法では、CD45を発現しているPBMCsを除外することでCTCを濃縮したが、改良方法では、EpCAMを発現しているがん細胞を回収することでCTCを濃縮する。
被験者から末梢血を採取し、採取した抹消血から末梢血単核球を回収した。回収した末梢血単核球を、2%パラホルムアルデヒドを用いて細胞固定した。固定した細胞を含む試料と、マウス・モノクローナル抗LVRN抗体(10μg/ml)、Alexa488コンジュゲート抗マウスIgG抗体(1:500希釈)およびBV421コンジュゲート抗CD45抗体とを混合し、得られた混合液を4℃にて30分間インキュベートした。前記混合液と、磁気ビーズに結合した抗EpCAM抗体とを混合し、得られた混合液を4℃にて30分間インキュベートした。前記混合液を磁気細胞分離装置(MACS)に供し、EpCAM陽性細胞を濃縮した。濃縮した細胞を含む培養液10μLの液滴を、流動パラフィンでコートしたガラスボトムディッシュに滴下し、14個の液滴を形成させた。蛍光顕微鏡にて液滴中の細胞を観察し、LVRN陽性かつCD45陰性である細胞を血中循環腫瘍細胞(CTC)と特定した。CTCの存在が示された液滴から、Unipick(登録商標)一細胞・組織ピッキング装置を用いて、CTCを分離および回収した。
上記した改良方法では、2%パラホルムアルデヒドで細胞を固定化した後に、抗LVRN抗体と抗CD45抗体とを用いて、リーベリンを発現し、かつCD45を発現していない細胞を分離した。別の改良方法では、2%パラホルムアルデヒドで細胞を固定化した後に、抗LVRN抗体と抗CD45抗体とHoehstとを用いて、リーベリンを発現し、かつCD45を発現していない細胞を分離する。
別の改良方法では、被験者由来の末梢血試料から末梢血単核球(PBMCs)を含む画分を回収した。前記画分中の細胞を、2%パラホルムアルデヒドを用いて固定化した。固定化した細胞からEpCAMを発現している細胞を回収して、CTCを濃縮した血液試料を調製した。前記血液試料から、リーベリンを発現し、CD45を発現せず、かつHoechstで染色されたCTCを特定した。特定したCTCを分離することで、CTCを調製した。
患者Dは、IVB期の子宮頸がんに罹患し、多発性リンパ節転移(骨髄、傍大動脈、および鎖骨上リンパ節)、左下肢DVT、外顎静脈血栓、左膵臓症(尿管ステント留置)を有した。患者Dから採取されたがん組織片は、HPV16型陽性の扁平上皮がんであることを示した。患者Dは、シスプラチンとパクリタキセルの抗がん剤の組合せを用いた療法(TP療法)を受け、次いで、キイトルーダ(登録商標)(ペムブロリズマブ)を受けた。キイトルーダを受けた後に、患者Dから末梢血試料(検体D)を採取した。
検体Aでは、8個のCTCのうちリーベリンを発現していなかったCTCは1個(12.5%)であり、検体Bでは、15個中4個(約27%)であった。検体Dでは、56個中53個(約95%)であった。対象A、対象Bおよび対象Dはいずれも転移がんを有し、対象AはIIIB期の子宮頸がんに罹患し、対象BはIIIC期の子宮体がんに罹患し、対象DはIVB期の子宮頸がんに罹患していた。これらを考慮すると、より後期のステージのがんでは、リーベリンを発現していないがん細胞であっても、血中を循環可能であることを示唆する。反対に、より初期のステージのがんでは、リーベリンを発現したがん細胞は血中を循環可能であるが、リーベリンを発現していないがん細胞は血中を循環することが困難であることを示唆する。
CaSki細胞株を、実施例1と同様にして、超低接着培養プレートにて24時間の振盪培養を行って、浮遊状態のがん細胞スフェロイドを形成させた。CaSki細胞スフェロイドでのリーベリンおよびインドールアミン2,3-ジオキシゲナーゼ-1(IDO1)をコードするmRNAの量をRT-qPCRによりそれぞれ調べた(図6)。リーベリン(LVRN)の発現レベルは、CaSki細胞を接着培養した場合よりも、浮遊培養した方が約4倍多かった(図6左側LVRN)。この結果は、実施例2の結果(図4c)と同様であった。IDO1の発現レベルは、CaSki細胞を接着培養した場合よりも、浮遊培養した方が約23倍多かった(図6右側IDO1)。この結果は、リーベリンを発現しているがん細胞スフェロイドでは、IDO1の発現が亢進されていることを示す。
リーベリンを過剰発現するSwan71細胞の形質転換体(Swan71_LVRN)と、ヒト単球由来細胞株THP-1とを共培養した。共培養は、Swan71_LVRN細胞とTHP-1細胞とが接触可能な条件下で行った。培養したTHP-1細胞を回収して、mRNAを抽出した。前記mRNAを用いてマイクロアレイ解析を行った。前記と同様にして、Swan71細胞(Control)とTHP-1とを共培養し、培養したTHP-1についてマイクロアレイ解析を行った。Swan71_LVRNと共培養したTHP-1細胞では、Controlと共培養したTHP-1細胞よりも、複数種の遺伝子で発現が増加していた。
リーベリンには、膜結合型のリーベリンと、分泌型のリーベリンとがある。分泌型のリーベリンとHisタグとを融合させた組換えリーベリン(rLVRN)を調製した。rLVRNを添加した培地を用いて、THP-1細胞を培養した。培養したHTP-1細胞での前記4種の遺伝子の発現レベルを測定した。その結果、測定した遺伝子の発現レベルは、rLVRNの添加量が増加するにしたがって増加したことを示す(図8a)。また、前記遺伝子の発現レベルは、rLVRNを添加して培養した時間の増加に伴って(4時間、8時間および12時間)、増加した。
リンパ球および単球を含むヒト末梢血単核球(PBMCs)を、rLVRNの存在下で培養し、OAS2、IFIT1、IFIT3およびISG15の4種の遺伝子の発現レベルを測定した。THP-1細胞での結果と同様、前記4種の遺伝子の発現が誘導された。
3mlのEDTA血をFicollにて処理してPBMCsを調製した。前記PBMCsを2mlのRPMI培地を用いて浮遊細胞用Dishにて24時間培養した後に、rLVRN1.5μg/ml、INF-β1000IU/mlまたはPBS(陰性対照)を培地に添加した。さらに24時間培養し、ISG15をフィコエリトリン(PE)で染色した。PE染色したPBMCsを、BD FACS Aria(商標)Fusionセルソーターに供し、単球分画およびリンパ球分画に分けた。
3mlのEDTA血をFicollにて処理してPBMCsを調製した。前記PBMCsを、2mlのRPMI培地を用いて浮遊細胞用Dishにて12時間培養した後に、rLVRN1.5μg/mlまたはPBS(陰性対照)を培地に添加した。さらに24時間培養し、ISG15をPEで染色し、CD14単球をFITCで染色し、B細胞マーカーとしてのCD19をアロフィコシアニン(APC)で染色し、T細胞マーカーとしてCD3をBrilliant Violet421(商標)(BV421(商標))で染色した。染色したPBMCsを、BD FACS Aria(商標)Fusionセルソーターに供し、CD14陽性単球分画、CD19陽性B細胞分画およびCD3陽性T細胞分画(CD4およびCD8)にそれぞれ分けた。
3mlのEDTA血をFicollにて処理してPBMCsを調製した。前記PBMCsを、rLVRN1.5μg/mlを添加した2mlのRPMI培地を用いて浮遊細胞用Dishにて培養した。培養24時間後に細胞を回収し、4%パラホルムアルデヒドで10分間処理して固定化した。固定した細胞を、0.1%トリトンを含むPBSを用いて10分間の膜透過処理を施した。ISG15はPEで染色した。以下のマーカーに対するマウスまたはラビット抗体を一次抗体として用い、Alexa488で標識化した抗マウスまたは抗ラビット抗体を二次抗体として用いた。CD14を単球系マーカーとして用いた。CD19をB細胞マーカーとして用いた。CD4をT細胞マーカーとして用いた。CD8をT細胞マーカーとして用いた。さらに細胞核をヘキストで染色した。
3mlのEDTA血をFicollにて処理してPBMCsを調製した。前記PBMCsを2mlのRPMI培地を用いて浮遊細胞用Dishにて24培養した後に、FITCで標識化したrLVRN1.5μg/mlを培地に添加し、さらに4時間または24時間培養した。培養細胞を回収し、BD FACS Aria(商標)Fusionセルソーターに供し、PBMCsを単球分画およびリンパ球分画に分けた。
リーベリンを取り込んだ単核において、どのような作用が生じるかを調べた。
3mlのEDTA血をFicollにて処理してPBMCsを調製した。前記PBMCsを10mlのRPMI培地を用いて浮遊細胞用Dishにて培養した。培養細胞を回収し、得られた細胞懸濁液にCD14 Micro Beadsを混合した。前記混合液を、Magnetic Activated Cell Sorting(MACS)に供して、CD14陽性細胞を分取した。分取したCD14陽性細胞を培養ウェルに2重に分注し、各ウェルにrLVRN1.5μg/mlまたはPBSを添加した。培養24時間後に、培養細胞を顕微鏡観察した。培養細胞からRNAを抽出し、前記RNAをRT-qPCRに供し、IFIT1、IFIT3、ISG15およびOAS2の4種の遺伝子の発現レベルを調べた。
PBMCs由来のCD14陽性細胞をrLVRNの存在下で培養し、培養CD14陽性細胞からRNAを抽出した。抽出したRNAを用いて、特定の遺伝子(CD14、CD11c、CD123、CD80およびCD86)についてRT-qPCRを行った(図11a)。rLVRNの存在下で培養したPBMCs、およびrLVRNの存在下で培養したTHP-1についても、同様に、RT-qPCRを行った(図11bおよび11c)。
CD11cおよびCD123に着目すると、リーベリンによって分化誘導された樹状細胞は、CD11c(+)CD123(+)であった。表4で示されるように、XCR1+ DC、CD11b+ DCおよびmoDCは、CD11c(+)CD123(-)であるから、リーベリンによって分化誘導された樹状細胞は、これらの樹状細胞サブセットとは異なると考えられる。pDCは、DC11c(-)CD123(+)であるから、リーベリンによって分化誘導された樹状細胞は、pDCサブセットとは異なると考えられる。
リーベリンによってヒト末梢血単核球(PBMCs)から分化誘導された樹状細胞の細胞マーカーを調べる。
3mlのEDTA血をFicollにて処理してPBMCsを調製した。前記PBMCsを2mlのRPMI培地を用いて浮遊細胞用Dishにて24時間培養した。rLVRN1.5μg/mlまたはPBS(対照)を培養液に添加して、さらに24時間培養した。培養細胞を回収し、BV421で標識化した抗CD14抗体、PEで標識化した抗HLA-DR抗体、およびAPCで標識化した抗CD83抗体を用いて染色した。CD14は単球系マーカーとして、HLA-DRは抗原提示細胞(APC)マーカーとして、およびCD83は成熟樹状細胞マーカーとして利用した。染色した培養細胞を、BD FACS Aria(商標)Fusionセルソーターに供した。
上記と同様に、PBMCsを培養し、培養細胞をBD FACS Aria(商標)Fusionセルソーターに供した。培養細胞は、FITCで標識化した抗CD14抗体、PEで標識化した抗HLA-DR抗体、APCで標識化した抗CD11c抗体、およびBV421で標識化した抗CD123抗体を用いて染色した。CD14は単球系マーカーとして、HLA-DRは抗原提示細胞(APC)マーカーとして、CD11cは樹状細胞マーカー(主としてmoDC)として、およびCD123は樹状細胞マーカー(主としてpDC)として利用した。
CD123およびCD11cに着目すると、リーベリン存在下で培養したPBMCsから分化誘導された樹状細胞は、CD123(+)CD11c(+)であった。表4で示されるように、XCR1+ DC、CD11b+ DCおよびmoDCは、CD11c(+)CD123(-)であるから、リーベリンによって分化誘導された樹状細胞は、これらの樹状細胞サブセットとは異なると考えられる。pDCは、DC11c(-)CD123(+)であるから、リーベリンによって分化誘導された樹状細胞は、pDCサブセットとは異なると考えられる。この結果は、実施例9と同じ結果である。
被験者由来のPBMCsをrLVRNの存在下で培養し、培養細胞中のインドールアミン2,3-ジオキシゲナーゼ-1(IDO1)の発現量をRT-qPCRにより調べた。PBMCsから分取したCD14陽性細胞をrLVRNの存在下で培養し、上記と同様にして、培養細胞中のIDO1の発現量を調べた(n=2)。rLVRNに代えてPBSを添加した培地を用いて培養したPBMCs(陰性対照)中のIDO1の発現量も調べた。陰性対照に対する、各培養条件での培養細胞でのIDO1の相対的な発現レベルを算出した(表7)。
実施例9および11は、CD14陽性細胞はリーベリンを取り込むことで、IDO1を高発現する樹状細胞に分化し得ることを示唆する。
リーベリンを発現するがん細胞に、抗リーベリン抗体を適用した。モノクローナル抗リーベリン抗体の適用によって、細胞表面のリーベリンの細胞内への取り込みが観察された。メラノーマ細胞A375(培養液ドロップ20μL中に1,000細胞)をhanging drop法により1日培養した。培養したA375細胞は細胞塊を形成した。A375細胞塊にリーベリンを発現したA375細胞が観察された(図13a)。メラノーマ細胞A375(培養液ドロップ20μL中に10細胞)を、pHrodoコンジュゲート抗LVRN抗体の存在下でhanging drop法により1日培養した。培養したA375細胞は2~3個の細胞塊を形成し、リーベリンを発現するA375細胞が観察された。リーベリンを発現したA375細胞において、pHrodoコンジュゲート抗LVRN抗体の細胞内取込みが観察された(図13b)。抗リーベリン抗体による細胞膜リーベリンの細胞内への取り込みは、本実施例で用いた3種類の抗体(5-23抗体を含む)すべてで観察された。
細胞表面のリーベリンの減少は、単球からIDO1を発現する樹状細胞への分化を十分に誘導できず、それによって、前記がん細胞が免疫系からの攻撃に曝されることを示唆する。この結果は、抗リーベリン抗体が、リーベリンを発現するがん細胞の存在が特定された再発がんおよび/または転移がんを有効に処置し得ることを示唆する。
転移がんを有する卵巣がん患者のリンパ節周辺の組織を採取し、免疫染色した。図15は、輸入リンパ管付近のリンパ節の免疫染色画像を示す。図16は、輸出リンパ管付近のリンパ節の免疫染色画像を示す。図15bは、輸入リンパ管内に浮遊がん細胞塊が存在することを示す。図15cは、前記細胞塊を構成するがん細胞がリーベリンを発現することを示す。図15dおよび図15eは、転移したリンパ節内の腫瘍部位に、発現量が小さいリーベリン発現がん細胞が存在することを示す。図16aおよび図16bは、転移したリンパ節内の腫瘍部位から離脱したがん細胞塊が輸出リンパ管内に存在することを示す。図16c~図16eは、輸出リンパ管内に存在するがん細胞塊を構成するがん細胞がリーベリンを発現することを示す。図16cは、リンパ節内の転移巣に存在するがん細胞が、リーベリンを発現していないことを示す。
転移がんを有する卵巣がん患者の原発巣腫瘍組織は、広範囲の壊死部分を含んだ(図17a)。残存腫瘍が、原発巣腫瘍組織の内部で壊死部分に囲まれた領域に見つかった。前記残存腫瘍は、リーベリンを発現していた(図17b)。壊死部分では、リーベリンの発現は観察されなかった(図17c)。壊死部分の外側で生存するがん細胞を含む領域では、リーベリンの発現は観察されなかった(図17dおよび図17e)。
(検体E)
卵巣がんIIIC期の患者は、ネオアジュバント療法(NAC)としてTC療法を受けた後、腫瘍縮小出術(IDS)として腹式子宮単純全摘術(ATH)、両側付属器摘出術(BSO)および大網切除術(OMT)を受けた。前記患者は、IDS後にTC療法を受けた。IDSにて摘出した卵巣を検体Eとした。摘出した卵巣の切片を準備し、HE染色および抗リーベリン抗体を用いて免疫染色した。
卵巣がんIIIC期の患者は、NACとしてドキセタキセルとカルボプラチンの組合せ療法(DC療法)を受けた後、IDSとしてATH、BSO、OMTおよび直腸低位前方切除術を受けた。前記患者は、IDS後にDC療法を受けた。前記患者は、前記DC療法の1年後に、腹膜播種を再発した。IDSにて摘出した卵巣を検体Fとした。摘出した卵巣の切片を準備し、HE染色および抗リーベリン抗体を用いて免疫染色した。
リーベリンを発現するように卵巣がん細胞株A2780を形質転換して、A2780 LVRNを作製した。コントロールとして、A2780に空ベクターCAGをトランスフェクトして、A2780 CAG(コントロール)を作製した。
メスのBalb/c nu/nuマウス(6~8週齢)の右側の2カ所に、1カ所あたり5×106細胞/100μのLA2780 LVRNを注入した。同マウスの左側の2カ所に、1カ所あたり5×106細胞/100μのLA2780 CAGを注入し、がん細胞移植マウスを作製した。がん細胞移植マウスは10匹作製した。
A2780注入の15日後に、がん細胞移植マウス10匹の腫瘍サイズを測定した。
胎盤部トロフォブラスト腫瘍(PSTT)を患う3名の患者から、PSTT組織をそれぞれ採取した。前記PSTT組織から凍結切片を調製した。前記凍結切片を、5-23抗体を用いて免疫染色した。前記免疫染色は、腫瘍組織全体でリーベリンが発現されていることを明らかにした。
実施例17は、抗リーベリン抗体を含む医薬組成物が、リーベリンを発現する腫瘍(例えば、PSTT)を処置できることを示す。
