Description

靶向EGFRvⅢ并干扰IL-6表达的嵌合抗原受体T细胞及其制备方法和应用
本发明要求2019年8月26日递交的发明名称为“靶向EGFRvⅢ并干扰IL-6表达的嵌合抗原受体T细胞及其制备方法和应用”的申请号201910792807.6的在先申请优先权，上述在先申请的内容以引入的方式并入本文本中。
技术领域
本发明涉及医学生物领域，特别涉及靶向EGFRvⅢ并干扰IL-6表达的嵌合抗原受体T细胞及其制备方法和应用。
背景技术
嵌合抗原受体T细胞(CAR-T)技术是一种新型细胞疗法，它是将经过嵌合抗原受体改造的T细胞回输至人体，激活自身免疫系统，对肿瘤细胞进行杀伤，被认为是目前最有效的恶性肿瘤的治疗方式之一，可弥补诸如抗体药物偶联物等传统疗法的弊端。
胶质母细胞瘤(GBM)是胶质瘤中恶性程度最高的病理类型，也是原发性脑肿瘤中最常见、最具侵袭性的一种肿瘤，侵袭性强，极易复发。虽然GBM的治疗已发展为手术、放疗和化疗相结合的综合治疗模式，其预后仍很差，整体中位生存期(OS)仅为15个月，5年生存率不到10％。侵袭性恶性肿瘤细胞产生耐药性是GBM复发的根源，从而导致治疗失败。
EGFRvⅢ是表皮生长因子受体Ⅲ型突变体，是胶质瘤中表达率很高的癌基因，与胶质瘤的各种恶性表型密切相关，大约30％的胶质母细胞瘤患者表达EGFRvIII，而人体正常细胞不会表达EGFRvIII，其在肿瘤细胞表面的特异性表达使其成为肿瘤靶向治疗的理想靶点。
CAR-T细胞治疗作为一种新的肿瘤免疫治疗方法，在肿瘤治疗上取得显著的临床效果，但仍然存在多种不良反应及并发症。病人在CAR-T细胞输入初期，T细胞短时间内迅速扩增，在T细胞杀伤肿瘤的过程中分泌大量的细胞因子，从而导致细胞因子释放综合症(CRS)，临床表现主要有发热、心动过速、低血压及细胞中IL-6等细胞因子水平显著升高，这些不良反应均影响和限制了CAR-T细胞疗法的应用。
因此，亟需一种可以靶向EGFRvⅢ并干扰IL-6表达的嵌合抗原受体T细胞及其制备方法。

可选的，所述基因传递载体包括慢病毒载体、逆转录病毒载体和腺病毒载体中的至少一种。
进一步的，所述基因传递载体可以但不限于为pWPXLD载体、pLEX-MCS载体、pSico载体和pCgpV载体。
作为示例性的例子，当所述基因传递载体为pWPXLD载体时，所述CAR-EGFRvⅢ的编码基因插入到pWPXLD载体中BamH Ⅰ和EcoR Ⅰ酶切位点之间，且位于pWPXLD载体的EF1α之后，以EF1α为启动子。所述CAR-EGFRvⅢ的编码基因插入到pWPXLD载体时，所述CAR-EGFRvⅢ的编码基因的5’端可加入起始密码子(如ATG)，与pWPXLD载体中 BamH Ⅰ酶切位点(ggatcc)相连，3’端可加入终止密码子(如TAA)与pWPXLD载体中EcoR Ⅰ酶切位点(gaattc)相连，这样就使所述CAR-EGFRvⅢ的编码基因位于BamH Ⅰ和EcoR Ⅰ酶切位点之间，得到pWPXLD-CAR-EGFRvⅢ重组质粒。所述干扰IL-6表达的siRNA对应的DNA序列插入到pWPXLD-CAR-EGFRvⅢ重组质粒中Sma Ⅰ和Nde Ⅰ酶切位点之间，所述干扰IL-6表达的siRNA对应的DNA序列的5’端连接有人H1启动子、人U6启动子或鼠U6启动子；所述干扰IL-6表达的siRNA对应的DNA序列的5’端可加入相应的保护碱基、Sma Ⅰ酶切位点，3’端可加入保护碱基、Nde Ⅰ酶切位点，将所述干扰IL-6表达的siRNA对应的DNA序列至pWPXLD-CAR-EGFRvⅢ重组质粒中，siRNA序列位于CAR-EGFRvⅢ之后，以H1为启动子。随后转入DH5α大肠杆菌中，进行载体扩增以及酶切，测序鉴定，获得pWPXLD-CAR-EGFRvⅢ-IL-6 siRNA重组慢病毒质粒载体。
在本发明中，插入所述基因传递载体的基因片段可以但不限于为起始密码子、所述CAR-EGFRvⅢ的编码基因和终止密码子，以及启动子和所述干扰IL-6表达的siRNA对应的DNA序列。
在本发明中，也可以先将所述干扰IL-6表达的siRNA对应的DNA序列插入基因传递载体中，再将所述CAR-EGFRvⅢ的编码基因插入基因传递载体中，得到重组基因传递载体。
在本发明中，可以通过在所述CAR-EGFRvⅢ的编码基因和/或所述干扰IL-6表达的siRNA对应的DNA序列额外添加启动子，从而不限制两者插入基因传递载体中的先后顺序，也不影响最终蛋白CAR-EGFRvⅢ和siRNA的表达。
可选地，将所述重组基因传递载体进行包装并转染宿主细胞，得到重组慢病毒，包括：
将所述重组基因传递载体与包膜质粒、包装质粒共转染宿主细胞，得到重组慢病毒。

本发明中，当所述基因传递载体包括慢病毒载体时，可以进一步含有来自其它病毒的被膜蛋白。例如，作为这种蛋白质，最好是来自感染人类细胞的病毒被膜蛋白。对这种蛋白质没有特别的限定，可例举出逆转录病毒的兼嗜性病毒手皮膜蛋白等，例如可以使用来自小鼠白血病病毒(MuMLV)4070A株的被膜蛋白。另外，也可以使用来自MuMLV 10Al的被膜蛋白。另外，作为疱疹病毒科的蛋白，可以举出例如，单纯性疱疹病毒的gB、gD、gp85蛋白，EB病毒的gp350、gp220蛋白等。作为嗜肝病毒科的蛋白，可以例举出B型肝炎病毒的S蛋白等。所述被膜蛋白还可为麻疹病毒糖蛋白与其他单链抗体融合后形成。
重组慢病毒的包装通常采用瞬时转染或采用细胞系包装。瞬时转染时可以用作包装细胞使用的人类细胞株，例如包括293细胞、293T细胞等及其他的从293细胞分离的克隆；SW480细胞、TE671细胞等。也可以采用来源于猴子的细胞株，例如，COS1细胞、CV-1细胞等。而且，通常采用的磷酸钙和PEI转染试剂，还有一些转染试剂如Lipofectamine2000、FuGENE和S93fectin也被经常使用。
重组慢病毒的包装也采用一些慢病毒包装细胞系，如使用最普遍的Env糖蛋白、VSVG蛋白或HIV-1gag-pol蛋白所产生的稳定细胞系。
为了安全起见，大规模使用的慢病毒载体系统都是采用分割基因组的方法，即将起不同辅助功能的基因定位于不同的质粒。目前有四质粒系统(编码gag-pol基因、Rev基因、VSVG基因、SIN转移基因分别位于四个不同的质粒)、三质粒系统(去掉了编码Rev基因的质粒，在gag-pol质粒中gag-pol基因采用了在人细胞中偏爱性的密码子)和二质粒系统(慢病毒载体包装所必需的辅助基因位于同一个质粒上，这些辅助基因是单一的基因序列；另一个则是转基因质粒)。也有超过四质粒系统的慢病毒包装系统在使用。
