Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a composition for preventing or treating cancer diseases, comprising CD8+T cells activated by extracellular vesicles derived from CD4+T cells as an active ingredient. Background Art

[0002] Small extracellular vesicles (sEV) are small membranous vesicles secreted by most cells. The diameter of extracellular vesicles is about 30nm-100nm, and it contains various types of proteins, genetic material (DNA, RNA, miRNA), lipids, etc. derived from cells. Extracellular vesicles are released and secreted outside the cell, and they originate from a specific intracellular compartment called multivesicular body (MVB), rather than being directly separated from the plasma membrane. In other words, when the fusion of multivesicular body and plasma membrane occurs, vesicles are released into the extracellular environment, which is referred to as extracellular vesicles. Although it has not been determined exactly what mechanism extracellular vesicles are produced by, it is known that they are separated and released from various cell types under normal and pathological conditions.

[0003] Cancer is the result of uncontrolled and disordered cell proliferation caused by an abnormal excess of cells. From the perspective of molecular biology, cancer is a disease caused by genetic mutations. There are dozens of types of cancer that have been identified, and they are mainly classified according to the location of the diseased tissue. Cancer is divided into benign tumors and malignant tumors. Benign tumors grow relatively slowly and do not metastasize from their primary site to other tissues, while malignant tumors leave their primary site, invade other tissues, grow rapidly, and are life-threatening due to this feature. Most cancers are asymptomatic in the early stages, and even if there are symptoms, the symptoms are mild, so most people tend to ignore them, which increases the cancer mortality rate.

[0004] Surgical therapy, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, etc. are used to treat cancer, but it is reported that despite many studies, more than 50% of all cancer patients eventually die without being cured. The reason is that cancer relapses because metastatic cancer cells that are visible under a microscope after surgical resection are not eliminated; anticancer drugs do not induce cancer cell death; or although the tumor seems to shrink in the initial stage due to the response to anticancer drugs, cancer cells that develop resistance to anticancer drugs during or after treatment increase rapidly. Today, about 60 different anticancer drugs are used, and as knowledge about cancer occurrence and cancer cell characteristics is widely understood, research on the development of new anticancer drugs is actively being carried out. However, most anticancer drugs cause serious side effects (such as nausea and vomiting, hair loss, skin and nail discoloration, and nervous system side effects), and have the disadvantage of losing their therapeutic effects because cancer cells acquire resistance to anticancer drugs when they are repeatedly administered for a long time or when cancer recurs. In addition, radiotherapy induces cancer cell death by irradiating high-energy radiation to cancer tissue, but its disadvantage is that it damages normal tissues around cancer tissue and induces side effects.

[0005] Therefore, helper T cells activated by cytokine-derived extracellular vesicles can activate cytotoxic T cells, and the development of this technology can maximize the effects of cancer prevention and treatment.

[0037] Example

[0038] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail using examples. These examples are only used to more specifically illustrate the present invention, and it is obvious to those skilled in the art that the scope of the present invention is not limited by these examples.

[0039] Example 1: Cell culture

[0040] B16F10 cells (mouse melanoma) were cultured in DMEM medium (Hyclone) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and 1% penicillin and streptomycin (Hyclone), and CD4+T cells (human T lymphocytes) were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% FBS and 1% penicillin and streptomycin. CD8+T cells (mouse cytotoxic T lymphocytes) were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% FBS, 1% penicillin and streptomycin and 20 IU / mL recombinant IL-2 (R&D system). Primary CD4+T cells and primary CD8+T cells (isolated from PBMC) were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% FBS and 1% penicillin and streptomycin.

[0041] Example 2: Isolation of primary CD4+ T cells and primary CD8+ T cells from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells

[0042] After collecting 50 mL of blood using a 50 mL syringe and transferring it to a vacuum tube (BD Vacutainer) containing heparin, the supernatant was removed by centrifugation at 550 × g for 10 minutes. After that, it was mixed with PBS at 1:1. Then, 5 mL of ficoll (GE Healthcare) was added to every 8 mL of blood mixed with PBS and centrifuged at 550 × g for 30 minutes. Then, the supernatant was removed and the buffy coat was transferred to a new 50 mL conical tube. After adding PBS to 30 mL, centrifuge at 550 × g for 10 minutes. Thereafter, the precipitate was mixed with RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% FBS and 1% penicillin and streptomycin and cultured on a 10 cm culture dish (Cat. 430167; Corning) for 16 hours.

[0043] After culturing human peripheral blood mononuclear cells for 16 hours, primary CD4+ T cells and primary CD8+ T cells were isolated using a human CD4+ T cell isolation kit (Cat. 130-096-533; MACS) and a human CD8+ T cell isolation kit (Cat. 130-096-495; MACS).

[0044] The number of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells cultured on 10 cm culture dishes (Cat. 430167; Corning) was counted by trypan blue staining, and then they were centrifuged at 550 × g for 10 minutes. 7 40 μL of Macs buffer was added every 10 7 Add 10 μL of biotin-Ab mixture to each well and mix, and incubate at 4°C for 5 min.7 20 μL of the bead mixture was added and mixed, and incubated at 4°C for 10 minutes. After that, the LS column was placed in the magnetic field of the MACS separator. After that, the column was washed 3 times with 1 mL of Macs buffer each time. Thereafter, the cell supernatant incubated for 10 minutes was placed in the column and the flow-through was received in a 5 mL tube. The above process was repeated 3 times to obtain a total of 3 mL of cell supernatant, which was centrifuged at 550 × g for 10 minutes. The precipitate was then mixed with RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% FBS and 1% penicillin and streptomycin and cultured on a 10 cm culture dish (Cat. 430167; Corning).

[0045] Example 3: Analysis of extracellular vesicles (sEVs) derived from CD4+ T cells activated by IL-2 and primary CD4+ T cells

[0046] 3-1. Nanoparticle tracking analysis

[0047] 2×10 6 CD4+T cells were added at a density of 100 μg / 10 cm culture dishes (Cat. 430167; Corning) and treated with various concentrations of IL-2 (0 IU / mL, 1 IU / mL, 10 IU / mL, 100 IU / mL, 500 IU / mL), and then cultured for 48 hours. Then, in order to collect extracellular vesicles, the culture medium was replaced with a medium not supplemented with FBS, and the cells were further cultured for 24 hours. The cell culture supernatant was recovered and centrifuged to remove cells and debris. Then, in order to isolate extracellular vesicles (CE) derived from CD4+T cells or extracellular vesicles (IL-2E) derived from IL-2-activated T cells, each supernatant obtained from the cells was centrifuged continuously at 300 × g, 2500 × g, and 10,000 × g. The supernatant was then filtered through a 0.2 μm syringe filter and centrifuged at 120,000 × g. The extracellular vesicle pellet was resuspended in PBS and centrifuged again at 120,000 × g. The purified pellet was resuspended in PBS or 1× cell lysis buffer for the next experiment. Thereafter, the size and concentration of extracellular vesicles were measured using Nanosight LM10 (Malvern Instruments) equipped with fast video capture and particle tracking software. The process was performed in the same manner in primary CD4+ T cells.

[0048] Results, such as Figure 2 As shown, in the case of IL-2 treatment of CD4+ T cells and primary CD4+ T cells, it was determined that the secretion of extracellular vesicles increased in a concentration-dependent manner.

[0049] 3-2. Flow cytometry

[0050] CD4+T cells and primary CD4+T cells were washed with PBS and then fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 15 minutes at room temperature. Then, PBS (Cat.SH30028.02; Hyclone) containing 0.1% Triton-X (CAS#.9002-93-1; Biosang) was added and reacted at room temperature for 10 minutes to penetrate the cells. After penetration, the samples were reacted with the primary antibody at 4°C for 1 hour, washed with PBS, reacted with the secondary antibody (1:2000 dilution) at 4°C for 1 hour, washed with PBS, and subjected to flow cytometry (FACSAria III; Becton Dickinson). Data were analyzed using FlowJo software (Flowjo, Ashland, OR, USA).

[0051] The primary antibodies used in this experiment were: Rab5 (ab18211, 1:100; Abcam), Rab7 (ab50533, 1:100; Abcam), and Rab27a (ab55667, 1:100; Abcam).

[0052] Results, such as Figure 3 As shown, in the case where CD4+ T cells and primary CD4+ T cells were treated with 500 IU / mL IL-2, the expression of Rab enzymes (Rab5, Rab7, Rab27a) involved in the production and secretion of extracellular vesicles was determined to be increased.

[0053] Example 4: Purification of extracellular vesicles (sEVs) from IL-2 activated CD4+ T cells and primary CD4+ T cells

[0054] CD4+ T cells or CD4+ T cells activated with IL-2 (500 IU / mL) were washed with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and further cultured in RPMI 1640 medium without FBS for 24 hours.

[0055] For extracellular vesicle purification, the cell culture supernatant was recovered by centrifugation at 1,200 rpm for 5 minutes at room temperature, and the supernatant was then centrifuged at 2000 × g for 30 minutes to remove cells and debris. Then, in order to separate extracellular vesicles (CE) derived from CD4+T cells or extracellular vesicles (IL-2E) derived from IL-2 activated T cells, the respective supernatants obtained from the cells were centrifuged continuously at 300 × g, 2500 × g and 10,000 × g. The supernatant was then filtered through a 0.2 μm syringe filter and centrifuged at 120,000 × g. The extracellular vesicle pellet was resuspended in PBS and centrifuged again at 120,000 × g. The purified pellet was resuspended in PBS or 1 × cell lysis buffer for the next experiment.

[0056] Example 5: Analysis of the anti-cancer effects of CD8+ T cells and primary CD8+ T cells activated by extracellular vesicles of CD4+ T cells and primary CD4+ T cells

[0057] 5-1. Flow cytometry

[0058] Next, CD8+ T cells were treated with extracellular vesicles purified from CD4+ T cells activated with IL-2 to evaluate the effects of extracellular vesicles. 5 CD8+T cells were seeded into 6-well plates at a density of 1 cell / well and cultured with CE (extracellular vesicles derived from CD4+T cells) or IL-2E (extracellular vesicles derived from IL-2-activated CD4+T cells) (25 μg / mL) for 24 hours. Then, flow cytometry was performed for Ki-67, IFN-γ, perforin, and granzyme B. In addition, primary CD8+T cells were treated with extracellular vesicles purified from primary CD4+T cells and flow cytometry was performed in the same manner as above.

[0059] The primary antibodies used in this experiment were: anti-Ki-67 (ab16667, 1:500; Abcam), perforin (ab16074, 1:500; Abcam), IFN-g (ab9657, 1:500; Abcam), and granzyme B (ab4059, 1:500; Abcam).

[0060] Results, such as Figure 4 As shown, when CD8+T cells were treated with extracellular vesicles (IL-2E) derived from IL-2 activated CD4+T cells, the expression of the cell proliferation marker Ki-67 protein was determined to be increased by about 7% compared with the control group. In addition, when primary CD8+T cells were treated with extracellular vesicles (IL-2E) derived from primary CD4+T cells activated by IL-2, the expression of the cell proliferation marker Ki-67 protein was determined to be increased by about 40% compared with the control group.

[0061] In addition, if Figure 5 As shown, when CD8+T cells were treated with extracellular vesicles (IL-2E) derived from IL-2 activated CD4+T cells and primary CD8+T cells were treated with extracellular vesicles (IL-2E) derived from primary CD4+T cells activated by IL-2, it was determined that the expression of IFN-γ, perforin, and granzyme B proteins, which are cytotoxicity markers in both groups, was also increased compared to the control group or the CE treatment group. In particular, perforin and granzyme B showed significant increases compared to the control group or the CE treatment group.

[0062] Therefore, it was determined that extracellular vesicles derived from IL-2-activated CD4+ T cells and extracellular vesicles derived from IL-2-activated primary CD4+ T cells (IL-2E) enhanced the cytotoxic capacity of CD8+ T cells, thereby enhancing the anti-cancer effect.

[0063] 5-2. Real-time polymerase chain reaction

[0064] After extracting mRNA from CD8+T cells (MiniBEST Universal RNA Extraction Kit, #9767; TaKaRa), the concentration of mRNA was measured using nanodrop (DS-11 series spectrophotometer; DeNovix). After synthesizing cDNA with 100 ng mRNA (PrimeScriptTM 1st strand cDNA Synthesis Kit, #6110A; TaKaRa), gene expression was detected using TBGreenTM Premix Ex TaqTM (Tli RNaseH Plus) Kit (#RR420A; TaKaRa).

[0065] The primers used in this experiment are shown in Table 1 below.

[0066] Table 1

[0067]

[0068] Real-time polymerase chain reaction was performed using the StepOnePlus Real-Time PCR System (Applied Biosystems). The relative mRNA levels of the samples were calculated by Ct (comparative threshold cycle) analysis after normalization to the amount of GAPDH in the same sample and expressed as 2 modified from the initial Ct value. -△△Ct value.

[0069] Results, such as Figure 4 As shown, when CD8+ T cells were treated with extracellular vesicles from primary CD4+ T cells, it was determined that the mRNA expression level of Ki-67, a T cell proliferation marker, was increased. Figure 5 As shown, when CD8+ T cells were treated with extracellular vesicles from primary CD4+ T cells, the mRNA expression levels of IFN-γ, granzyme B, and perforin, which are markers of T cell activation, increased. This means that the ability of CD8+ T cells to attack cancer cells is enhanced, thereby enhancing the anti-cancer effect.

[0070] Example 6: Analysis of co-culture of CD8+ T cells pretreated with extracellular vesicles and melanoma cells

[0071] In 1×10 5After CD8+T cells were seeded into 6-well plates at a density of cells / well, they were pretreated with CE (extracellular vesicles derived from CD4+T cells) or IL-2E (extracellular vesicles derived from CD4+T cells activated by IL-2) (25μg / mL). After 24 hours of culture, the cells were cultured in 96-well plates with melanoma cells at different ratios (1:1 to 1:10) for 72 hours. At the end of the culture, MTS (#G3582; Promega) reagent was added to each well and cultured at 37°C for 2 hours. Afterwards, the MTS reagent containing the supernatant of each well was removed, and the absorbance was measured at 490nm using a microplate reader. In addition, in the same manner, CD8+T cells isolated from human PBMCs were pretreated with CE (extracellular vesicles derived from primary CD4+T cells) or IL-2E (extracellular vesicles derived from primary CD4+T cells activated by IL-2) (25μg / mL), and the same procedure was performed.

[0072] Results, such as Figure 6 As shown, it was determined that in the co-culture group of CD8+ T cells treated with extracellular vesicles and melanoma cells, the viability of melanoma cells was significantly reduced.
