Embodiment 1

[0039] Example 1 Knockout of Rc3h1 and / or Zc3h12a can promote high-efficiency expansion of reinfused T cells without pretreatment

[0040] 1. Using CRISPR-Cas9 technology to knock out Rc3h1 and / or Zc3h12a in CD8 T cells activated in vitro, the specific steps are as follows:

[0041] 1. Gene knockout vector construction: In this embodiment, a retrovirus-based sgRNA expression vector, namely pMSCV-hU6-sgRNA-EF1a-Thy1.1, was constructed, wherein pMSCV-hU6-sgControl-EF1a-Thy1.1 (SEQ ID NO.1, the 1686-1705th position of SEQ ID NO.1 is a random sequence that does not target any gene) as a control without knocking out any gene, pMSCV-hU6-sgRc3h1-EF1a-Thy1.1 (the vector sequence is the The 1686-1705 positions of SEQ ID NO.1 are replaced by SEQ ID NO.2, and the sequence obtained by keeping other sequences unchanged, said SEQ ID NO.2 is the target sequence targeting Rc3h1 gene) is used to knock out Rc3h1, pMSCV -hU6-sgZc3h12a-EF 1a-Thy1.1 (the carrier sequence is the sequence obtained ...

Embodiment 2

[0056] Example 2 T cells knocking out Rc3h1 and / or Zc3h12a can inhibit the growth of solid tumors without pretreatment

[0057] Divide 6-8 week-old C57b1 / 6 mice weighing 20-25g into four groups, namely PBS group (8 mice), sgControl group (10 mice), sgRc3h1 group (11 mice), and sgZc3h12a group (10 mice) and sgRc3h1 / Zc3h12a group (10 rats), each rat in each group was subcutaneously inoculated with EL4 tumor cells, and after 7 days of inoculation, the CD8 T cells without gene knockout prepared in Example 1 were prepared into a cell suspension with PBS, and the tail of the rats was Transfuse to each mouse in the sgControl group, and reinfuse each mouse tail to 4×10 5 CD8 T cells that do not knock out the gene; CD8 T cells that knock out Rc3h1 were made into a cell suspension with PBS, and the mouse tail was reinfused into each mouse in the sgRc3h1 group, and the tail of each mouse was reinfused to 4×10 5 CD8 T cells knocked out of the sgRc3h1 gene; CD8 T cells knocked out of Zc3h...

Embodiment 3

[0059] Example 3 CD19-CAR-T cells knocked out of Rc3h1 and / or Zc3h12a can effectively eliminate CD19-positive target cells without any pretreatment

[0060] In order to verify whether the above experimental results can be directly used to improve the existing CAR-T cell therapy, we prepared CD19-CAR-T cells knocked out of Rc3h1 and / or Zc3h12a, and used them to eliminate CD19-positive targets in vivo. cell. Specific steps are as follows:

[0061] 1. Construction of gene knockout vector: A retroviral vector expressing both CD19-CAR and sgRNA was constructed, i.e. hU6-sgRNA-EF1a-Thy1.1-P2A-CD19-CAR (structural schematic diagram as shown in image 3 Middle a), wherein pMSCV-hU6-sgControl-EF1a-Thy1.1-P2A-CD19-CAR (SEQ ID NO.5, the 1686-1705th position of SEQ ID NO.5 is a random sequence that does not target any gene) as Control CAR-T cells without knockout of any gene, pMSCV-hU6-sgRc3h1-EF1a-Thy1.1-P2A-CD19-CAR (the carrier sequence is to replace the 1686-1705th positions of SEQ ...

Abstract

The invention discloses Rc3h1 gene and / or Zc3h12a gene knockout recombinant T cells and application thereof. The invention first discloses the recombinant T cells which do not contain the Rc3h1 gene and / or the Zc3h12a gene. The invention further discloses a preparation method of the recombinant T cells and application of the recombinant T cells in preparation of anti-tumor products. Rc3h1 and / or Zc3h12a are / is knocked out from CAR-T, TCR-T or other forms of T cells, any side effect related to whole body irradiation or cytotoxic drugs can be avoided, and the transfused T cells are massively amplified and play an anti-tumor role under the condition that no pretreatment is needed, so as to carry out cell adoptive treatment on patients. In addition, the number of needed cells is remarkably reduced, the effectiveness of CAR-T and other cell adoptive treatment is greatly improved, the application range is wide, the effectiveness and safety are high, and potential clinical application value is achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of immune cells. It specifically relates to a recombinant T cell knocking out Rc3h1 gene and / or Zc3h12a gene and its application. Background technique [0002] Adoptive cell transfer therapy, including chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T and T cell receptor (TCR)-T, has a very significant effect in the immunotherapy of tumors, especially for lymphocytic leukemia . [0003] All current CAR-T treatments require pretreatment of patients, including whole-body irradiation or cytotoxic drugs, to remove the patient's own immune cells in order to provide space for the expansion of imported T cells. The results of clinical trials and animal experiments clearly show that CAR-T cannot exert a therapeutic effect in patients and animals that have not undergone pretreatment (whole body irradiation or cytotoxic drugs), because the reinfused CAR-T will not expand and exert its therapeutic effect. effect. Total body irradi...
