Description

Application of tumor infiltration cells in preparation of antitumor drugs and model construction method
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of cell biology, and particularly relates to application of tumor infiltration cells in preparation of antitumor drugs and a model construction method.
Background
Lung cancer is a very heterogeneous malignancy, resulting in nearly one-fourth of cancer-related deaths. World health organization surveys report that lung cancer incidence is the leading malignancy in many countries and regions. Lung cancer usually occurs over 40 years old, the incidence age peak is 60-79 years old, and the prevalence rate of men and women is 2.3:1. Lung cancer originates in the bronchial mucosal epithelium, is confined to the basement membrane and forms paraneoplastic cancer, and can grow into the bronchial lumen and/or adjacent lung tissue and can spread through lymphatic circulation or transbronchial metastasis. Lung cancer is mainly of two major basic types, small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Of these, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) occurs more, with about 80% of lung cancer patients belonging to this type. Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), a member of non-small cell lung cancer, is the most invasive histological type and has a rapidly rising global incidence. At present, common treatment strategies include surgical excision, radio frequency ablation, arterial chemoembolization, chemoradiotherapy and adjuvant immunotherapy, but have certain limitations in improving the survival rate of patients. Gliomas are the most common primary malignant tumors of the central nervous system, and the main clinical treatment schemes at present are traditional surgery and postoperative chemoradiotherapy, so that the gliomas have little effect on improving the life cycle of patients and have poor prognosis. The glioblastoma with the highest malignancy has a very poor prognosis, although the median survival of the patient is only 14 to 16 months after the combination therapy. In recent years, the treatment of glioma is a bottleneck, and immunotherapy of glioma microenvironment is expected to develop a new treatment scheme.
Several studies have demonstrated that tumor infiltrating immune cells are the most promising targets for Tumor Microenvironment (TME) immunotherapy. Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes (TILs) are T cell-based heterogeneous lymphocytes that are predominantly present in TMEs, have highly specific cytotoxicity to autologous tumor cells, and have advantages of high efficiency, specificity, and small side effects. Two problems are faced in TILs cell chemotaxis during development of TILs therapy, whether T cells can successfully migrate to tumor sites? Is T cells migrating to the tumor site activated and killed the tumor cells? Early studies showed that T cells highly expressing CXCR2 genes could migrate directionally to tumor sites secreting chemokines, but specific killing effects were not clear, nor were experiments in animals validated.
In recent years, the tumor immunotherapy has made a great breakthrough, and the PD-1 antibody single drug is utilized to treat various malignant tumors, with the effective rate reaching 10-30%. In fact, the method ultimately works with tumor-specific T cells by reactivating tumor-specific T cells in the tumor microenvironment of the patient. Thus, the key to the success of tumor immunotherapy is how to better function as tumor-specific T cells.
However, related technical schemes for preparing antitumor drugs by combining tumor infiltrating CD8+ T cells with high expression of autologous tumor side injection CCR2 with anti-PD-1 have not been reported in the prior art.
In recent years, scientists have conducted a great deal of clinical research on tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte therapy to observe and evaluate the therapeutic effects of TILs treatment on various tumors such as melanoma, ovarian cancer, lung cancer and the like. Wherein, when TILs are used in melanoma patients, the TILs are separated from the tumor microenvironment, and IL-2 is stimulated and amplified in vitro and has good tumor killing effect after being infused back into the patients. TILs have also been shown to have therapeutic efficacy in non-small cell lung cancer, osteosarcoma and ovarian cancer.
Although TILs treatment has proven effective against solid tumors, challenges are faced in clinical use and there is a need to provide a solution strategy.
Difficulty in separation and purification of TILs
Not all tumor tissue microenvironments have more TILs present. Furthermore, the tumor tissue isolated TILs obtained by surgery carry a large number of tumor cells, and in the purification culture, some tumor cells do not die with the time of culture, and excessive tumor cells easily cause depletion death of TILs, resulting in failure of obtaining TILs. Furthermore, TILs comprise a number of heterogeneous subgroups, cd4+ T, CD8+t, effector cells and regulatory cells, etc. In order to ensure better curative effect in the later treatment, it is important to isolate TILs with anti-tumor effect.
2. High doses of IL-2 are typically used for amplification before the TILs therapeutic product is returned to the tumor patient. Expansion promotes T cell differentiation and changes in phenotype thereof, affecting proliferation capacity and persistence of TILs in vivo after reinfusion.
3. Adverse reactions of second generation TILs therapeutic products
Currently, second generation therapeutic products focus mainly on four aspects: enhancing the ability of TILs to target and recognize tumors; enhancing the persistence of TILs in vivo; enhancing tumor infiltration capacity of TILs; enhancing tumor killing efficacy of TILs. In TILs, chimeric antigen receptors of CD3 zeta and CD28 are constructed, but the in-vivo reaction is low due to the overlong in-vitro treatment time; the retrovirus transfects IL-2 gene, but has low treatment response and high toxicity; lentiviruses transfect CXCR2, but have no known effect.
Our technique first separates TILs, purifying cd8+ T, a primary killer potential cell; the magnetic bead purification and other methods are combined to overcome the problem of tumor cell pollution of the purified cells; the method is characterized in that the TILs are transfected by CCR2 high-expression slow virus without in-vitro IL-2 stimulation, and the TiLs are injected beside tumor and act on tumor in a short distance, so that the chemotactic effect of the TILs is enhanced, the TILs are activated, and the anti-PD-1 therapy is combined, so that the method has remarkable anti-tumor therapeutic effect.
Through the above analysis, the problems and defects existing in the prior art are as follows:
1.TILs are difficult to purify and easily cause pollution to tumor cells, so that the T cells are exhausted and dead in the process of in vitro culture;
2. adding IL-2 and the like to amplify in vitro, changing the cell character, and having long time (4-6 weeks);
3. the toxicity of using the cytokines is high;
4. the study of chemokines is deficient, and there is a need to study new chemokines that play roles in chemotaxis and cell activation.
At present, related technical schemes for preparing anti-tumor drugs by combining tumor infiltrating CD8+ T cells with later anti-PD-1 have not been reported.

TILs therapy has been successfully applied to metastatic melanoma and other solid tumor patients. TILs therapy has unique advantages over other immune cell therapies (e.g., CAR-T and TCR-T). TIL consists of T cells with multiple TCR clones, which respond more effectively to tumor heterogeneity, not only directly to shared tumor antigens, but also to specific tumor antigens. TILs usually contain a large number of effector memory T cells, and have a stronger antitumor effect after activation. In addition, TIL comes from the patient himself, without genetic modification, which means that the method is low toxic. However, TIL therapy also has limitations. First, in order to achieve a durable anti-tumor response, effector T cells with anti-tumor activity must be present in the tumor, which is not the case for many solid tumors. Another potential population of transformed anti-tumor cells are tumor infiltrating γδ T cells that exert their anti-tumor activity, usually by secretion of Interferon (IFN) and Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF), but which are independent of tumor-associated antigens. Second, despite the great progress made in the selection strategy of TILs, the widespread use of TILs therapy in a variety of cancers remains a challenge due to the barrier to immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, and no TILs products are currently marketed. Since tumor cells often exhibit different types of genetic mutations that produce multiple neoantigens, it is difficult to design universal CAR-TILs to eliminate cancer cells. Meanwhile, immunosuppressive tumor microenvironments may induce failure of invasive cytotoxic T cells, thereby leading to reduced capacity for elimination of cancer cells. Scientists found that high-grade ER breast tumors infiltrated high levels of PD-1 depleted T cells. In addition, injected TILs survive for a short period in vivo. More importantly, in order to improve survival and tumor homing ability of TILs after re-infusion into patients, modification techniques have been explored, and various chemotactic cytokines are used for homing of TILs, but the efficacy is unknown. The high expression CCR2 TILs combined immune checkpoint inhibitor of the invention is anti-PD-1, which can possibly overcome the problem of homing of the TILs and the problem of short-term depletion of the TILs in vivo. However, the present invention does not allow for the current expansion of IL-2, anti-CD 3 and feeder cells prior to injection, which has the disadvantage of a relatively small number, and has the advantage of a fast process (4-6 weeks for general expansion, 3-4 days for the present invention), which is advantageous in maintaining cellular properties. By adopting the tumor side injection to directly reach the tumor part, the consumption of cells after peripheral blood injection is avoided. In addition, the invention realizes almost no tumor cell pollution in the aspect of separating and purifying TILs. The most common procedure is surgical removal of the tumor, cutting into small pieces, tissue culture, and collection and purification after T cells have roamed out. The research directly carries out tissue digestion, the ficoll separating liquid extracts mononuclear cells, the magnetic beads separate and purify CD8+ T cells, differential adherence and other methods to purify the cells again. The method can extract the high-purity CD8+ T cells in a short time.
The embodiment of the invention has a great advantage in the research and development or use process, and has the following description in combination with data, charts and the like of the test process.
Examples: treatment effect of autologous tumor side injection CCR2 high-expression tumor infiltration CD8+ T cell combined with later-stage anti-PD-1 on glioma and lung cancer of mice
The purification of tumor infiltration T cells provided by the embodiment of the invention is up to 99%; activation of T cells by tumor infiltrating CD8+ T cells with high expression of CCR 2; the intratumoral injection of cd8+ T cells in combination with subcutaneous injection of anti-PD-1 for a time interval; the effects of the combined treatment of single-alone injection of cd8+ T cells, anti-PD-1 pretreated tumor-infiltrating cd8+ T cells, CCR2 transfected tumor-infiltrating cd8+ T cells, anti-PD-1 and CCR2 transfected tumor-infiltrating cd8+ T cells were different.
1. Purification of tumor infiltrating T cells, up to 99%.
The tumor tissue of the mice is taken out, the scissors are sheared to the size of 1mm, and the surgical blade is sheared. Meanwhile, digestive juice is prepared, and the formula is as follows: RPMI1640 medium contained type I collagenase (0.05 mg/mL), type IV collagenase (0.05 mg/mL), hyaluronidase (0.05 mg/mL), and DNase I (0.01 mg/mL). The tissue pieces were shaken at 37℃for 25min, digested 2 times, then passed through a 40 μm filter, the filtrate centrifuged at 300g for 5min at 4℃and the supernatant discarded. Lymphocytes were resuspended and isolated using tissue dilutions in tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte isolation kit (Solarbio). The PBS was washed 2 times and resuspended. Cd8+ T cells of the single cell suspension described above were purified using meitian and gentle Mouse cd8+ T Cell Isolation Kit. The ratio of magnetic beads to total cells is: 10 μL:10 7 . Purified cd8+ T cells were cultured in RPMI1640 medium (containing 10% fbs), purified again using differential digestion attached to the wall every 3h, and purified 2 times in succession.
Activation and killing effect of tumor infiltrating CD8+ T cells with high expression of CCR2 on T cells.
After co-culturing the CD8+ T cells and tumor cells, compared with an empty lentiviral vector transfected control group, the CCR2 high-expression lentiviral transfected tumor infiltrates CD69, CD107a, granzyme B and interferon gamma expression of the CD8+ T cell group to be increased.
3. Intratumoral injection of cd8+ T cells in combination with subcutaneous injection of anti-PD-1 for a time interval.
The tumor is injected with CD8+ T cells beside the tumor, the size of the tumor is observed about 4-5 days, and when the tumor gradually becomes smaller and rebound occurs, the anti-PD-1 is rapidly injected at the time point, and the observation is continued until the tumor disappears.
If both CD8+ T cells which express CCR2 and anti-PD-1 are used, the invention also monitors that the cells have low PD-1 expression at the moment because the CD8+ T cells which express CCR2 and start to inject have strong immunocompetence and killing capacity, and the anti-PD-1 is not used for blocking the PD-1 function of the CD8+ T cells which express CCR2 at the moment, and the excessive immune response and adverse reaction are easily caused. Therefore, the invention uses CD8+ T cells with high expression of CCR2 and anti-PD-1 treatment respectively, and the selection interval is about 5 days through experiments.
4. Treatment effect differences of combined treatment of autologous cd8+ T cells, tumor-infiltrating cd8+ T cells pre-treated with anti-PD-1, CCR 2-transfected tumor-infiltrating cd8+ T cells, anti-PD-1 and CCR 2-transfected tumor-infiltrating cd8+ T cells.
Single individual injection of CCR2 transfected cd8+ T cells, tumor became smaller after 2-3 days and tumor tendencies became rebound on day 5. The combined injection of cd8+ T cells and anti-PD-1 inhibited the rebound tendency, continued to diminish until disappearing. The other two groups of tumors became smaller but rebound.
5. The characteristics are combined, so that the immunotherapy effect of the scheme is ensured to be reasonable and effective, and the scheme can be used as a scheme combining other clinical immunotherapy, and is expected to achieve good curative effects.
The combination of TIL therapy and anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibody therapy showed preliminary beneficial results in recent trials. In cancer patients, the immune checkpoint receptors on effector T cells, CTLA-4 and PD-1, are upregulated, resulting in inhibition of T cell function, based on which inhibition signals can be blocked using anti-CTLA-4 and anti-PD-1. In addition, in vitro and in vivo experiments show that after long-term exposure to tumor antigens, CD8+ T cells apoptosis or enter into an abnormal differentiation state, and PD-1 is highly expressed, so that no response to specific tumor antigens is caused, and based on the result, inhibition signals are blocked through immune checkpoint inhibitors, and immune responses are started. These existing mechanisms provide a theoretical basis for combining TILs with immune checkpoint inhibitors. Currently, the efficacy of TILs in combination with anti-PD-1 therapy as a first-line therapy is still in clinical trial. Recent researches find that Dendritic Cells (DCs) express high levels of PD-L1 besides tumor cells, weaken the activation of T cells and inhibit the anti-tumor activity, and provide theoretical basis for TILs combined immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment. Based on the above, the TILs treatment combined immune checkpoint inhibitor PD-1 provided by the invention overcomes the limitation of single medicine, is hopeful to improve the efficiency of combined medicine and is hopeful to obtain good curative effect.
The BRAF gene plays an important role in cell growth and differentiation. In some cancers, BRAF mutations are the most common mutations that result in excessive activation of MAPK pathways, promoting cell proliferation. Activated BRAF mutations can induce immune escape mechanisms, escaping T cell immune surveillance. Studies have shown that the BRAF inhibitor, verofenib, can reduce associated immunosuppressive signals, promote lymphocyte infiltration, reduce immunosuppressive cells, and enhance presentation of melanoma antigens. However, the clinical response of BRAF inhibitors is often transiently limited. Clinical trials have found that metastatic melanoma patients receiving combination therapy of TIL, IL-2 and vemurafenib respond significantly or completely. Based on the above, the TILs treatment combined with the BRAF inhibitor can overcome the limitation of single drug, and is expected to achieve good curative effect.
DC vaccines can induce immune responses and can activate and increase the number of TILs and clinical trials are underway to evaluate their combination TILs treatment. Combinations of TILs therapy and oncolytic viruses are also under investigation. The virus may combat tumor immunosuppression by producing cytokines that promote TILs anti-tumor effects. Based on the above, the TILs of the invention can be combined with various immunotherapies in the future, and are expected to achieve good curative effects.
The foregoing is merely illustrative of specific embodiments of the present invention, and the scope of the invention is not limited thereto, but any modifications, equivalents, improvements and alternatives falling within the spirit and principles of the present invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art within the scope of the present invention.
