Problems solved by technology

[0006] (1) CD25 is the high-affinity receptor α chain of IL-2 (IL-2Rα), and CD25 is constitutively expressed in regulatory T cells (regulatory t cells, referred to as Treg). 2, it can stimulate Treg activation, thereby suppressing the immune response and weakening the therapeutic effect of T cells
[0007] (2) IL-2 only contains 133 amino acids and its molecular weight is 15.4 kDa, so that its half-life in peripheral blood is extremely short, only 5-7 minutes; in order to maintain its effective concentration, repeated administration is required, if Single escalation doses can have serious side effects
[0008] (3) Prolonged stimulation of IL-2 will promote T cells differentiate towards end-stage effector T cells (Teff), which have a shorter survival time in vivo, thereby reducing the biological role of T cells

Embodiment 1

[0053] Example 1 Construction of chimeric T cell growth factor

[0054] The inventors have overcome the first disadvantage of native IL-2 by mutating the amino acid residues in the native IL-2 sequence that bind to CD25.

[0055] The amino acid sequence of native IL-2 is:

[0056] APTSSSTKKTQLQLEHLLLDLQMILNGINNYKNPKLTRMTFKFYMPKKATELKHLQC LEEELKPLEEVLNLAQSKNFHLRPRDLISNINVIVLELKGSETTFMCEYADETATIVEFLNRWI TFCQSIISTLT (SEQ ID NO: 1).

[0057] attached figure 1 Shown is a schematic diagram of the binding of native IL-2 to CD25. figure 1 The black mark in A is IL-2 and CD25 binding region 1 (L40-Y45); figure 1 The black mark in B is IL-2 and CD25 binding domain 2 (L63-E68).

[0058] The two CD25 binding regions separate the natural IL-2 amino acid sequence into three segments, wherein the amino acid sequence of IL-2 segment one is: APTSSSTKKTQLQLEHLLLDLQMILNGINNYKNPKLTRM (SEQ ID NO: 2);

[0059] The amino acid sequence of IL-2 fragment two is: MPKKATELKHLQCLEEE (SEQ ID NO: 3); ...

Abstract

The invention discloses a variant of IL-2. Amino acid residues combined with CD25 in a natural IL-2 sequence are changed so as to weaken the effect of inhibiting immune response. The invention also provides the chimeric T cell growth factor which comprises an amino acid sequence of the IL-2 variant and amino acid sequences of IL-7 and IL-21. The chimeric T cell growth factor can promote proliferation and survival of T cells in vivo, inhibits failure of the T cells, and has the function of enhancing the immunity of the organism. The chimeric T cell growth factor can be combined with T cell-based adoptive immunotherapy such as CAR-T, TCR-T and TIL cells for use, the treatment effect of the chimeric T cell growth factor is enhanced, and the chimeric T cell growth factor has a wide applicationprospect in the technical field of cancer treatment.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of genetic engineering, and more specifically relates to a chimeric T cell growth factor and its application. Background technique [0002] Lymphocytes are one of the main cells that make up the body's immune system. There are about 1 trillion lymphocytes in the adult body, which is equivalent to the number of cells in the brain. Lymphocytes are mainly distributed in lymphoid organs, lymphoid tissues and peripheral blood. Lymphocytes in blood circulation account for about 30% of the total number of peripheral blood leukocytes. Lymphocytes cooperate and restrict each other in the process of immune response, and jointly complete the recognition, response and clearance of antigenic substances, so as to maintain the health of the body. [0003] T lymphocytes (T lymphocytes), referred to as T cells, account for about 80% of the total number of peripheral blood lymphocytes, and are the most active lymphocyte popu...
