Problems solved by technology

The reason is that the antigens targeted by CAR-T cells are almost all tumor-associated antigens (TAAs), and most of them are still expressed at low levels in normal tissues, resulting in "toxic and side effects targeting non-tumor cells" (On- target off tumor), and can lead to inflammatory factor storm and central nervous system toxicity

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of biomedical science, and relates to a hypoxia-inducible chimeric antigen receptor capable of achieving specific activation of a tumor microenvironment. The structural domain of the hypoxia-inducible chimeric antigen receptor comprises: (1) one or more structural domains with specific combination of target antigens; (2) a structural domain in an extracellular spacer region; (3) a transmembrane structural domain; (4) one or more costimulatory signal structural domain and a cytokine receptor signal-transduction structural domain; (5) an intracellularsignal-transduction structural domain; and (6) an oxygen-dependent degradation structural domain. Once the hypoxia-inducible chimeric antigen receptor is exposed to an anoxic environment, efficient expression of the Hi-CAR on effect cell membranes is achieved, and specific recognition of target antigens is achieved, so that the specific activation property of the anoxic microenvironment is achieved; and since the anoxic situation of the tumor microenvironment is more significant than that of normal tissue, damage to the normal tissue can be reduced significantly, and meanwhile the activity ofspecific killing of tumors is improved.

Description

technology field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of biomedicine, and relates to a hypoxia-inducible chimeric antigen receptor specifically activated by the tumor microenvironment and genetic engineering of the hypoxia-inducible chimeric antigen receptor capable of expressing the specifically activated tumor microenvironment Cell. Background technique [0002] Genetically engineered T cells include T cell receptor T cells (TCR-T) and chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR-T). The adoptive transfer of genetically engineered T cells has become a promising approach in cancer immunotherapy. A means and method, especially the CAR-T cell immunotherapy that has been approved by the US FDA in recent years. A chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) is an artificially synthesized receptor consisting of the following five key domains, which are single-chain variable antibodies that specifically recognize tumor-specific antigens (TSA) or tumor-associated antigens (TAA) outsi...
