A kind of method that minicircle dna transfecting T cells prepare clinical grade CAR-T cell preparations
Technical field
The invention belongs to biological technical field, and in particular to apply minicircle dna rotaring dyeing technology, prepare clinical grade CAR-T thin
The method of born of the same parents' preparation.
Background technology
Tumor biotherapy has been acknowledged as the fourth-largest hand after operation, radiotherapy, the great tradition treatment means of chemotherapy three
Section.Biological therapy mainly includes cellular immunotherapy and the major class of antibody target medicine two.Cellular immunotherapy development in recent years is fast
Suddenly, on the basis of CTL/TIL obtains good clinical efficacy, immune detection point blocks CTL/TIL, TCR-T and CAR-T etc. new
Type cell preparation largely enters clinical test, and targetting CAR-T using CD-19/CD20 treats clinic of the B cell lymthoma as representative
Experiment, obtain more than 90% killing-efficiency and as milestone formula break through.Thus CAR-T cellular immunotherapies are likely to become
The critical treatment means of tumour.
Chimeric antigen receptor(CAR)Typical structure include by identification antigen single-chain antibody light chain and weight chain variable district
Hinge area and transmembrane region and intracellular that the scFv connected into constitutes extracellular binding area, single-chain antibody can be made to have flexibility
Signal peptide area.Extracellular binding area scFv need not recognize antigen in the form of MHC/ antigenic peptide complexes, but Direct Recognition is anti-
Original, and no matter the essence of antigen is protide or glycolipid class.The size of hinge area, flexibility ratio and extending range are determined
The ability that scFv is combined with tumor cell surface antigen.Transmembrane region plays important signal transduction, Chang Xuan in T cell activation
Built with CD3, CD8, CD28 transmembrane region.Intracellular signal area is by costimulatory molecules and tyrosine activation motifs ITAM groups
Into different its acknowledgement type of costimulatory molecules, secrete cytokines level maintains each not phase in terms of the cell survival time
Together.CAR structures are transferred to by genetic engineering by the CAR-T prepared by T cell, if specific recognition and killing ability are strong, table
Up to whether whether stable, function is permanent, the structure with CAR structures is closely related.The improvement that CAR design experienced three generations is gone through
Journey.First generation CAR only includes CD3 ζ or Fc ε RI γ chains;Second generation CAR includes a CD3 ζ and costimulatory molecules such as CD28/
4-1BB/CD27/ICOS/OX40, these costimulatory moleculeses can strengthen CD3 ζ signal transduction;Third generation CAR contain CD3 ζ and
Two costimulatory moleculeses, make CAR function more powerful.It is another have scholar in CAR genetic modification except Chimeric antigen receptor
Outside gene, one or more coding CAR and its carrier of promoter are also add, and carrier can be by some cell factors such as
IL-12 release further activates CAR signal path, referred to as forth generation CAR.CAR with Direct Recognition and can combine tumour
The tumor associated antigen of cell surface(TAA), and by the incoming T cell of antigen signals, make T cell activation and secrete and discharge and be a large amount of
The cell factors such as IL-2, TNF-α, INF- γ, perforin and granzyme, killing ability is played to tumour cell.
CAR-T cell preparations can be prepared by transfecting above-mentioned CAR gene orders into T cell using suitable carrier.At present
Conventional carrier is mainly viral vector and the major class of non-virus carrier two.Viral vector based on slow virus and adenovirus vector,
Wherein adenovirus system infection cell when mechanism of action be that viral DNA can not be incorporated into chromosome, be only free in nucleus,
Therefore the expression of gene for a long time can not be maintained, and triggers immune response after application repeatedly.And slow virus carrier system can infect
Division stage and non-division cells, and external source target gene can be incorporated on chromosome, realize that target gene has for a long time
Effect expression, thus it is approved by the fda in the United States for clinic.But application viral vector prepares clinical grade CAR-T cell preparations, still has
Transfection efficiency is low(40%), there is potential safety hazard(Genetic mutation and to knurl)The problems such as.Viral vector import foreign gene be
Random integration has insertion point mutation and conversion even intoxicating, the risk of tumorigenesis occurs for inducing cell to chromosome.Non- disease
What poisonous carrier was commonly used has liposome, polymer and Molecular Conjugates etc., emerging recently sleeping beauty's carrier and Transposon System
For the modification of CAR T cells, but it is low with transfection efficiency(20%-40%), the shortcoming such as complex process, time length, cost be higher.
Minicircle dna is a kind of in recent years emerging non-virus carrier, be by traditional plasmid in Escherichia coli body by enzyme
The effect of cutting produces a kind of small ring supercoil expression cassette that locus specificity restructuring is obtained.There is research to carry purpose using minicircle dna
The cardiac muscle cell of gene Successful transfection mouse and Skeletal Muscle Cell, make it stable expression people vascular epidermal growth factor, separately have
Scholar has successfully transfected the versatile stem cell of people using minicircle dna.Research shows that non-virus carrier minicircle dna is gene
The best selection for the treatment of, because it lacks resistant maker gene and bacterium replication sequence, significantly improves minicircle dna and clinically should
Security.Can minicircle dna carry the transfection and modification that target gene realizes human T-cell, there is no experiment to confirm so far.
We take the lead in having made intensive studies this technology, and we devise the third generation CAR sequences for carrying target gene PSCA first
Row, by the target gene-CAR sequence constructs into micro-loop parent vector plasmid, and are successfully extracted comprising the micro- of target gene
The various means of minicircle dna Successful transfection of the target gene of carrying, are difficult to by circular DNA vector plasmid by means of electroporation method
The human T-cell of transfection, and more than 58% high transfection efficiency is obtained, far above existing virus or non-viral transfection means, Er Qiezhuan
Then 8 days, target gene-CAR expression rate was up to 89%, and is expressed more than 2 weeks as the amplification passage of T cell is stable.Electricity turns
Dye can make part T cell film destruction and cause cell death, we have discovered that, T cell survival rate is 60% or so after electrotransfection
And it is slow-growing, but culture can recover normal amplification and passage completely after 3 days, and T cell phenotype is identical with normal T-cell.
Had shown that through in vitro and in vivo killing experiments researchs, prepared target gene-CAR-T cell preparations can be efficient
The corresponding tumour antigen of rate, specific recognition, and produce high efficiency, specific tumour killing.It is of the invention to prepare skill with existing CAR-T
Art is compared, with following prominent characteristics:(1)The non-viral minicircle dna carrier transfection human T-cell's success of first Application;(2)Prove
Minicircle dna carrier is up to 58% to people T transfection efficiency, higher than existing any virus or non-viral transfection technology;(3)
Target gene-CAR is up to 90% in T cell expression rate, and with the stable expression of amplification passage of T cell;(4)It is of the invention prepared
Target gene-CAR-T cell preparations, to target gene height expression tumour cell there is powerful specific killing function;
(5)Target gene-CAR-T cell preparations prepared by the present invention are replicated in the absence of virus replication, bacterium, long term is potential to knurl etc.
Risk, thus clinical safety.
