Embodiment 1

[0213] Example 1. Knockout of the LAG-3 gene in CAR-T cells

[0214] 1. Screen the most effective sgRNA targeting LAG-3 on T cells

[0215] To abolish LAG-3 expression in T cells, five sgRNAs were designed targeting the first exon of LAG-3. figure 1 A takes sgRNA5 as an example, illustrating the position of the sgRNA in the LAG-3 locus.

[0216] The targeting sequences of the involved sgRNAs are shown in Table 1.

[0219] Cas9 protein (3 μg) was complexed with in vitro transcribed sgRNA (3 μg), and then electroporated into primary CD3 + in T cells. The gene editing efficiency of each sgRNA was quantified by TIDE analysis, and the most effective sgRNA was ...

Embodiment 2

[0236] Example 2. Knocking out the CTLA-4 gene in CAR-T cells

[0237] 1. Screening sgRNA targeting CTLA-4

[0238] Design five kinds of sgRNA targeting exon 1 coding region of CTLA-4 locus, target sequence such as SEQ ID NO:6-10 (Table 2), such as Figure 6 In A, the targeting sequence of sgRNA1 is in green, and the PAM sequence is in blue.

[0242] Cas9 protein (3 μg) and in vitro transcribed sgRNA (3 μg) were complexed to form Cas9-sgRNA ribonucleoprotein (RNP), and then electroporated into primary 1×10 6 CD3+ T cells (3 days after activation).

[0243] Knockdown efficiency using each sgRNA was quantified by TIDE analysis, and indel frequency in CTLA-4 was analyzed by sequencing. The result is as Figure 6 As shown in B, sgRNA1 has the highest knockout efficiency, and gene editing with sgRNA1 in another donor (donor 2) also obtained a significant knockout effect.

[0262] Example 3, knockout of the Foxp3 gene in CAR-T cells

[0263] 1. Screening of sgRNA targeting Foxp3

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of genetic editing and tumor immunotherapy, in particular to a method of preparing modified T cells, such as CAR-T cells, through genetic editing, modified T cells prepared via the preparation method, and application of the modified T cells.

Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of the Chinese invention patent application with the application number 201880002752.8, the application date is May 8, 2018, and the invention title is "Modified T cells, their preparation method and use". technical field [0002] The invention relates to the fields of gene editing and tumor immunotherapy. In particular, the present invention relates to a method for preparing modified T cells such as CAR-T cells by gene editing, as well as the modified T cells prepared by the method and uses thereof. Background technique [0003] T cells play an important role in anti-tumor immunity. However, in tumor patients, the local specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) content is very small, it is difficult to obtain and expand in vitro, and the low affinity of CTL limits its application in the clinical treatment of tumors. [0004] Adoptive transfer of T cells is a specific, low-toxicity anti-tumor method that has received high att...
