Abstract
Description
A T cell receptor and its preparation method and use Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biomedicine, and in particular to a T cell receptor and a preparation method and use thereof. Background Art
[0002] Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a common double-stranded DNA herpes virus. Approximately 90% of the world's population is infected with EBV (Tzellos, S., Farrell, PJ. Epstein-Barr virus sequence variation - biology and disease. Pathogens, 2012, 1(2): 156-174). Studies have shown that the occurrence of a variety of diseases is closely related to EBV infection, including post-transplant infection after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), lymphoma, and nasopharyngeal carcinoma (Taylor, GS, Long, HM, Brooks, JM, Rickinson, AB, Hislop, AD. The immunology of Epstein-Barr virus-induced disease. Annu Rev Immunol, 2015, 33787-821). In addition, 1-2% of all human tumors are caused by Epstein-Barr virus, resulting in approximately 200,000 new cancer patients each year (Münz, C. Latency and lytic replication in Epstein-Barr virus-associated oncogenesis. Nat Rev Microbiol, 2019, 17(11):691-700). Therefore, therapeutic strategies targeting Epstein-Barr virus are of great significance.
[0003] The stages of EB virus infection are mainly divided into the proliferation phase and the latent phase. EB virus expresses different proteins at different stages. Proteins expressed at the beginning of the proliferation phase and proteins expressed during the latent phase (mainly including six nuclear proteins EBNA1, 2, 3A, 3B and 3C, EBNA-LP and three latent membrane proteins LMP1, LMP2A, LMP2B, of which LMP2B is a truncated isoform of LMP2A) are believed to play a role in tumor formation. In addition, EB virus-related tumor cells also express EB virus antigen proteins, and the main way for the human body to fight the virus is T cell-mediated killing. Therefore, targeting EB virus antigen proteins is an ideal target for T cell-mediated immunotherapy.
[0004] TCR-T therapy (T cell receptor engineered T cell therapy) is a form of adoptive T cell therapy that has rapidly developed in recent years. Unlike CAR-T therapy (Chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy), which can only recognize surface targets, TCR-T cells utilize the HLA (Human leukocyte antigen) antigen presentation system to recognize targets both inside and outside the cell. Furthermore, TCR-T cells possess greater sensitivity; in theory, a single antigen on a target cell can activate a TCR-T cell and exert its killing function. TCR-T therapy has shown great potential in the treatment of both hematologic and solid tumors.
[0005] Most of the previously disclosed inventions published TCRs targeting a single EB virus antigen peptide or a single HLA subtype, and did not provide complete TCR function verification data (including CN101182531A, CN106632659A, CN107001444B, and CN111690050A); CN108602875A and CN109306005A provided complete TCR function verification data, but only published TCRs targeting a single EB antigen peptide or a single HLA subtype.

[0058] A CDR (complementarity determining region) generally refers to the region of an antibody or receptor that spatially complements an antigenic determinant. The variability in an antibody or receptor is typically not evenly distributed throughout the variable region.

[0111] In the present invention, the term "variable region" or "variable domain" refers to the domain of an immunoglobulin superfamily binding protein (e.g., TCR α-chain or β-chain (or gd chain and d chain) TCRs) involved in the binding of an immunoglobulin superfamily binding protein (e.g., TCR) to an antigen. The variable domains of the a chain and b chain of a natural TCR (Va and nb, respectively) generally have similar structures, with each domain containing four conserved framework regions (FRs) and three CDRs. The Va domain is encoded by two independent DNA segments, the variable gene segment and the joining gene segment (VJ); the nb domain is encoded by three independent DNA segments, the variable gene segment, the diversity gene segment, and the joining gene segment (VDJ). A single Va or nb domain may be sufficient to confer antigen binding specificity.

An isolated material may be substantially or essentially free of components that normally accompany it in its natural state, or may be manipulated to be in an artificial state with components that normally accompany it in its natural state. An isolated material may be in natural, chemically synthesized, or recombinant form. An isolated material may also or alternatively be in an enriched, partially purified, or purified form.
[0114] In the present invention, the term "polynucleotide" also referred to as "nucleotide" or "nucleic acid" refers to a nucleic acid chain composed of deoxyribonucleic acid, ribonucleic acid, modified nucleic acid or base, and / or their analogs, or any substrate that can be incorporated into the chain by DNA or RNA polymerase.

Examples of vectors include, but are not limited to, viral vectors, plasmids, cosmids, or phage vectors.
[0116] In the present invention, the term "host cell" refers to a cell into which an exogenous nucleic acid has been introduced, including the progeny of these cells.
[0117] In the present invention, to determine the percent identity of two amino acid sequences or two nucleic acid sequences, the sequences are aligned for optimal comparison purposes (e.g., gaps can be introduced in one or both of the first and second amino acid sequences or nucleic acid sequences for optimal alignment or non-homologous sequences can be discarded for comparison purposes). In a preferred embodiment, for comparison purposes, the length of the reference sequence being aligned is at least 30%, preferably at least 40%, more preferably at least 50%, 60%, and even more preferably at least 70%, 80%, 90%, 100% of the length of the reference sequence. The amino acid residues or nucleic acids at corresponding amino acid positions or nucleic acid positions are then compared. When a position in the first sequence is occupied by the same amino acid residue or nucleic acid at the corresponding position in the second sequence, then the molecules are identical at that position.
[0118] Mathematical algorithms can be used to compare sequences and calculate percent identity between two sequences. In a preferred embodiment, the percent identity between two amino acid sequences is determined using the Needlema and Wunsch ((1970) J. Mol. Biol. 48:444-453) algorithm, which has been integrated into the GAP program in the GCG software package (available at http: / / www.gcg.com), using a Blossum 62 matrix or a PAM250 matrix and a gap weight of 16, 14, 12, 10, 8, 6, or 4 and a length weight of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. In another preferred embodiment, the percent identity between two nucleic acid sequences is determined using the NWSgapdna.CMP matrix and a gap weight of 40, 50, 60, 70, or 80 and a length weight of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. A particularly preferred parameter set (and the one that should be used unless otherwise stated) is the Blossum 62 scoring matrix with a gap penalty of 12, a gap extension penalty of 4, and a frameshift gap penalty of 5.
[0119] The percent identity between two amino acid or nucleic acid sequences can also be determined using the algorithm of E. Meyers and W. Miller, (1989) CABIOS, 4: 11-17), which has been incorporated into the ALIGN program (version 2.0), using a PAM120 weighted remainder table, a gap length penalty of 12, and a gap penalty of 4.

[0124] Example 1 TCR-T cell sorting and TCR sequencing
[0125] 1. Differentiation of human peripheral monocytes into dendritic cells (DCs) in vitro
[0126] (1) CD14+ monocytes were isolated from the peripheral blood of healthy donors using magnetic beads (Miltenyi Biotec, Cat. No. 130-050-201) and cultured in AIM-V medium (Thermo) containing 1% human serum, human GM-CSF (Peprotech, 100 ng / mL), and IL-4 (50 ng / mL) for 3 days. After changing the medium, the culture was continued for 2 days to induce the differentiation of monocytes into MoDCs.
[0127] (2) After 5 days of differentiation, cytokines such as TNF-α (10 ng / mL), IL-1β (10 ng / mL), IL-6 (10 ng / mL), and Prostaglandin E2 (Peprotech, 1 μg / mL) were added to induce DC maturation.
[0128] (3) After 24 hours, mature DCs were harvested and expression of mature DC markers was detected by flow cytometry. Phenotype of mature DCs: CD14-, CD11c+, CD40+, CD80+, CD83+, CD86+, HLA-ABC+, HLA-DR+. The obtained mature DCs were collected and used for subsequent loading with EBV antigen peptides.
[0129] 2. DC cells loaded with antigen peptides are co-stimulated with autologous CD8+ T cells and cultured
[0130] (1) Add 5 μg / ml of EBV antigen peptide (i.e., antigen peptide BMLF1, antigen peptide LMP1, antigen peptide EBNA3, or antigen peptide LMP2, which are synthesized based on the amino acid sequence) to the above-mentioned mature DCs. After sealing with Parafilm, place the cells in a MACSmix rotator and rotate and bind in a cell culture incubator for 4 hours. After the mDCs are incubated with the EBV antigen peptide, use an irradiator to irradiate the DCs loaded with the EBV antigen peptide at a dose of 40 Gy. After irradiation, collect the DCs loaded with the EBV antigen peptide by centrifugation and place them in a 15 ml centrifuge tube.
[0131] (2) PBMCs were obtained from the blood of healthy donors by Lymphoprep density gradient centrifugation. CD8+ T cells in PBMCs were isolated using the EasySepTM Human CD8 Positive Selection Kit. DCs loaded with EBV antigen peptides and CD8+ T cells were added to 12-well plates and cultured at a DC / T ratio of 1:2.5. IL-21 at a final concentration of 30 ng / ml and 5 μg / ml of EBV antigen peptides were added to the culture system.
[0132] (3) Place the 12-well plate in a 37°C, 5% CO2 cell culture incubator and incubate overnight. On Day 1, add 10 ng / ml of IL-2, IL-7, and IL-15 to each well. The plate is then placed in a cell culture incubator at 37°C, 5% CO2 for 10 days. Change the medium halfway every 3 days during the culture process.
[0133] (4) On Day 14, Irradiated EBV-peptide-loaded DCs were prepared and subjected to a second round of in vitro stimulation with cells in each culture system, and the stimulation was continued for 10 days.
[0134] (5) On Day 25, cells were aspirated from each well of the plate, washed twice with FACS buffer, and then CD8a-APC and PE-HLA-A0201-restricted-EBV-peptide-Tetramer (MBL company) were added. After mixing, the cells were incubated at 4°C in the dark for 30 min. After the incubation, the cells were washed three times with FACS buffer, and the cells were resuspended in 2 ml of FACS buffer containing 1× DAPI working solution and the CD8+ / tetramer+ (%) ratio was detected.
[0135] 3. EBV-antigen-specific T cell sorting and single-cell TCR sequencing
[0136] (1) The process of sorting EBV-antigen-specific-T cells is shown in Figure 1. After two rounds of in vitro stimulation of CD8+ T cells from healthy donors with autologous EBV-antigen-specific loaded DCs, the cells in the co-stimulation system were collected for flow cytometry analysis. The specific flow cytometry results are shown in Figure 2A. The proportions of CD8a+ / Tetramer+ T cells from healthy donors were BMLF1-0.34%, LMP1-2.52%, EBNA3B-0.4% and LMP2-0.15%, respectively, with obvious clustering. This indicates that EBV-antigen-specific-TCR-T cells were specifically amplified in two rounds of in vitro stimulation. Subsequently, the CD8+ / tetramer+ T cells in the co-culture system were specifically sorted using a flow cytometer and then sent to Jingneng Bio for 10×Genomics single-cell TCR+ transcriptome sequencing to obtain the TCR sequence and transcriptomic characteristics of CD8+ / tetramer+ T cells.
[0137] (2) After the single-cell sequencing was completed, the transcriptomic characteristics of the top ten TCRs were analyzed, and the TCR sequencing results and frequency ranking results of the cell population obtained by analysis are shown in Figure 2B. Subsequently, the TCR sequence with the highest frequency was optimized. The specific optimization content was to replace its TCR-C region, that is, the TCR constant region, with mTCR-C (wherein mTCR-C includes mTCRα-C and mTCRβ-C, the amino acid sequence of mTCRα-C is shown in SEQ ID No.55, and the amino acid sequence of mTCRβ-C is shown in SEQ ID No.56) to avoid TCR mismatch.

[0148] Example 2 EBV-antigen-specific-TCR-T cell binding experiment in vitro
[0149] 1. Preparation of EBV-antigen-specific-TCR-T cells
[0150] (1) The optimized EBV-antigen-TCR obtained in Example 1 was used to construct a lentiviral expression vector, and then the EBV-antigen-TCR was packaged with lentivirus. The specific operation of virus packaging was as follows: 293T cells were digested and passaged, and the cell density was observed on the day of transfection. Transfection was performed when the cell density was 80-90% full. No culture medium change was required before transfection. Opti-MEM needed to be preheated in a 37-degree water bath, and the Fugene-HD transfection reagent needed to be restored to room temperature before use. It needed to be shaken before use. The complex components for transfection of each bottle of T75 were as follows: pHR-SFFV-TCR-Puro plasmid containing the target TCR: 10ug; pMD2.G (envelope plasmid): 5ug; pSPAX2 (core enzyme): 7.5ug. After adding Opti-MEM to 1mL, mix well; add 56ul Fugene-HD transfection reagent, pipette normally 5-6 times, let it stand at room temperature for 15 minutes, and then add it to the T75 bottle. Viral supernatants were then collected 48 and 72 hours after collection. After collection, the supernatants were filtered through a 0.45 μm filter membrane (PES material) for use. EBV-antigen-specific-TCR-TCR lentiviral fluids were collected 48 and 72 hours after viral packaging.
[0151] (2) Jurkat T cells were infected with EBV-antigen-TCR lentiviral particles by adding 10 μg / ml polybrene and centrifuging at 800 × g for 90 min at 30°C. After centrifugation, the cells were placed in a cell culture incubator at 37°C, 5% CO2 for 24 h, and then replaced with fresh 1640 medium for further culture.
[0152] (3) 20 μl of CD3 / 28 beads (Genscript) and 20 ng / ml of IL-2 were added to CD8+ T cells from healthy donors. After activating the T cells for 48 h, 10 μg / ml of polybrene was added for the first round of infection with EBV-antigen-TCR lentivirus. After centrifugation, the cells were cultured in a cell incubator at 37°C, 5% CO2 for 24 h. Subsequently, a second round of infection with EBV-antigen-TCR lentivirus was performed.
[0153] 2. FACS detection of EBV-antigen-TCR-T cell binding specificity
[0154] EBV-antigen cells prepared above were stained for mTCRβC+ / Tetramer. Flow cytometry results showed distinct cell clusters of EBV-BMLF1 / LMP1 / EBNA3B Tetramer+ / mTCRβC+ Jurkat T cells (Figure 3A) and CD8+ / Tetramer+ primary CD8+ T cells (Figure 3B).

[0158] (2) After 24 h of in vitro co-culture, the cells were discarded and washed five times with 200 μl of DPBS to completely remove the cells. 100 μl of 1 μg / ml detection antibody 7-B6-1-biotin was added to the culture system and incubated at 37°C for 2 h. Subsequently, 100 μl of streptavidin-HRP (3420-2H, MABTECH) was added and incubated at room temperature for 1 h.
[0159] (3) After washing five times with 200 μl DPBS, 100 μl TMB substrate was added to each well until complete spots appeared in the wells. Sterile water was then added to interrupt the color development process.
[0160] The results are shown in Figure 4 . DCs loaded with EBV antigen peptides can specifically activate EBV-antigen-specific-TCR-T cells in vitro. After activation, the IFNγ expression level of EBV-antigen-specific-TCR-T cells was significantly increased ( Figure 4A-C ). Therefore, these results indicate that the EBV-BMLF1 / LMP1 / EBNA3B-TCRs obtained in this screening and identification can specifically recognize EBV-BMLF1 / LMP1 / EBNA3B antigen peptides, respectively.
[0161] Example 4 In vitro killing experiment of EBV-antigen-TCR-T cells
[0162] The in vitro killing assay of EBV-TCR-T cells, also known as the Incucyte killing assay, includes the following steps:
[0163] (1) In vitro, EBV-BMLF1 / LMP1 / EBNA3B-TCR-T effector cells and K562-A1101-BMLF1 / LMP1 / EBNA3B target cells were constructed by lentiviral infection of T cells or K562-A1101 cells. + T cells and K562-A1101 control cells or K562-A1101-BMLF1 / LMP1 / EBNA3B target cells were added to 96-well plates for co-culture;
[0164] (2) Dissolve by adding 100 μL of DPBS Annexin V Dyes (Sartorius). Then Annexin V Dyes reagent was diluted in complete culture medium to a final dilution of 1:200.
[0165] (3) Place the 96-well plate containing cells into the Incucyte (Sartorius) live cell analyzer and monitor cell apoptosis using appropriate fluorescence channels. Specific parameters are as follows: A. Observation magnification: 20× objective lens; B. Channel selection: phase contrast Green|Red|Orange|NIRc; C. Scan type: 2-4 images per well; D. Scan interval: scan once every 30 minutes until the killing efficiency is completed after 48 hours of co-culture.
[0166] (4) After the test, the in vitro killing efficiency of TCR-T was analyzed using the Incucyte live cell analysis system software (Sartorius).
[0167] The results are shown in Figure 5. This example utilizes the Incucyte high-throughput, long-term dynamic imaging and analysis system to monitor target cell killing by EBV-BMLF1 / LMP1 / EBNA3B-TCR-T cells in real time. The results show that within 48 hours of co-culture, TCR-T cells with an effector-target ratio of 5:1 were more efficient at killing target cells that were HLA-A*11:01-positive and expressed the EBV-BMLF1 / LMP1 / EBNA3B antigen, compared to negative control CD8+ T cells not transfected with EBV-BMLF1 / LMP1 / EBNA3B-TCR (Figures 5A-D).
[0168] Example 5 In vivo killing experiment of EBV-antigen-TCR-T cells
[0169] The in vivo killing experiment of EBV-EBAN3B-TCR-T cells, also known as the CDX animal experiment, includes the following steps:
[0170] (1) Six-week-old Jicui Yaokang NCG female mice were selected and injected into the lateral tail vein with 2E6 K562 cell line carrying HLA-A*11:01 and EBNA3B antigens and expressing Luciferase reporter gene.
[0171] (2) Three days after transplantation of the K562-HLA-EBNA3B-luci cell line, 1E7 TCR-T cells were injected into the lateral tail vein, and control T lymphocytes without TCR gene transfection were used as negative controls.
[0172] (3) In vivo imaging of small animals was performed on days 7, 15, and 27 after tumor cell inoculation, and the weight changes and survival of mice were detected to evaluate the in vivo killing effect of EBV-EBAN3B-TCR-T cells on target cells.
[0173] The results are shown in Figure 6. This example used an in vivo CDX model to evaluate the effectiveness of EBV-EBAN3B-TCR-T cells in killing target cells (Figure 6A). In vivo imaging results showed that mice in the saline group and the mock T cell-reinfused group showed significant tumor cell growth within 27 days after tumor cell reinfusion, while some mice (3 / 4) in the EBV-EBAN3B-TCR-T cell-reinfused group showed no significant tumor growth (Figure 6B). Furthermore, the total photon count and average photon count intensity of luciferase in the EBV-EBAN3B-TCR-T group were significantly lower than those in the saline group and the mock T control group (Figures 6C-D). The CDX experimental results demonstrate that HLA-A*11:01-restricted EBV-EBAN3B-TCR-T cells can efficiently and specifically kill K562-HLA-A*11:01-EBAN3B-luciferase target cells in vivo.
