Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, CAR-T technology still has great challenges in the treatment of solid tumors. The main difficulties include: 1) Solid tumors express highly heterogeneous tumor antigens, that is, diversity, so that cancer cells can easily escape the surveillance of the immune system; This is different from blood cancers. For example, CD19 leukemia is basically CD19-positive; due to the diversity of solid tumor antigens, it is difficult to find a suitable target that can kill all cancer cells, and the remaining target-negative cancer cells will cause tumor recurrence; 2) Many tumor antigens of solid tumors are also expressed in normal tissues, so it is difficult to design tumor-specific CARs, the probability of off-target is high, and the risk of on-target / off-target toxicity is high; 3) T cell tumor homing is poor; Cells are surrounded by a dense matrix to form a tumor microenvironment; the matrix is ​​composed of recruited normal tissue and bone marrow-derived (stromal) cells, which prevent immune cells from penetrating this barrier; 4) solid tumors have a strong Immunosuppressive ability, many cells in the tumor microenvironment can inhibit the anti-cancer function of immune cells; therefore, CAR-T that infiltrates into solid tumors cannot exert efficient cancer cell killing effect

preparation example 1

[0321] Preparation Example 1: Preparation of tumor cells labeled with TT1, TT2, TT3, C1&2a, C1&2b by electroporation

[0322] Will 5x10 6 Jurkat cells, HCT116-luc, SKOV3-luc or SK-HEP-1 with 5 μg of TT1 (SEQ ID NO:11), TT2 (SEQ ID NO:12) or TT3 (SEQ ID NO:13), C1 & 2a (SEQ ID NO:11), respectively SEQ ID NO: 14), C1 & 2b (SEQ ID NO: 15) mRNAs (obtained according to the method of Preparation Example 8) were mixed in electroporation solution P3 (product name "P3Primary Cell 4D-X Kit L", Lonza, article number V4XP-3012), placed in a 100 μl Nucleocuvette™ tube (product name “P3Primary Cell 4D-X Kit L”, Lonza, Cat. No. V4XP-3012), and subjected to an ice bath for 5 minutes. Then use the 4D-NucleofectorTM electroporator (Lonza) to select its own tumor cell electroporation program for electroporation. After electroporation, the cells were removed and placed in the corresponding tumor cell culture medium. Jurkat medium is RPMI (Gibco)+10%FBS (Hyclone), SKOV3-luc and HCT116-luc mediu...

[0326] Preparation Example 2: Preparation of CAR-T cells targeting TT1, TT2 and TT3 respectively

[0327] Will 2 x 10 6 Human PBMC cells were resuspended in 1 ml of T cell culture medium (AIMV (Gibco) supplemented with 1% human AB serum (Valley Biomedical)) supplemented with OKT3 (eBioscience) at a final concentration of 100 ng / ml and hrIL-2 at 300 IU / ml (Peprotech), seeded into one well of a 24-well plate at 37°C, 5% CO 2 The humidification cell incubator (Thermo Fisher). Supplement hrIL-2 with a final concentration of 300IU / ml every 2-3 days. According to the growth of cells, add fresh T cell culture medium and adjust the number of cells to 1×10 6 cells / ml.

Embodiment 1

[0330] Example 1: Tumoricidal ability of CAR-T cells targeting marker polypeptides to tumor cells labeled with marker polypeptides by electroporation

[0331] This example tests the killing ability of CAR-T cells directed against the labeled polypeptides to Jurkat cells after electrotransduction. The CAR-modified or unmodified T cells targeting TT1 or TT2 obtained by the method of Preparation Example 2 were co-cultured with Jurkat, a human T cell line labeled with TT1 or TT2 by electroporation obtained by the method of Preparation Example 1, respectively. In a U-shaped 96-well plate, the ratio of the number of CAR-T effector cells to target cells (E:T) ranged from 1.25:1 to 20:1. Each group of experiments was repeated 3 times. After 2 hours of co-culture, DELFIA EuTDA Cytotoxicity Kit (PerkinElmer, USA) was used to detect the ability of CAR-T cells to lyse tumor cells, and the killing effect was calculated by the following formula: % specific lysis = ((experimental group rele...
