Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of tumor immunology, and more specifically to a tumor polypeptide vaccine for the treatment of breast cancer. Background Technology

[0002] Tumor vaccines introduce tumor antigens into the patient's body in various forms, activating the body's immune system, thereby breaking the state of immunosuppression and inducing the body's own immune response. This transforms the body from passive to active cancer fighting, thereby inhibiting or eliminating tumors and achieving the goal of cancer treatment.

[0003] SWAP70 is a member of the guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) family, with a molecular weight of 70 kDa. This protein has a relatively complex structure, composed of multiple domains, including an N-terminal EF-hand domain, a PH domain, a DH domain, a coiled-coil domain, and a C-terminal domain that binds F-actin. The EF-hand domain is an immune receptor tyrosine-activated motif, capable of binding Ca2+. 2+ The ability of the PH domain to bind phosphatidylinositol (3,4,5)-trisphosphate (PIP3) contributes to the activation of Rac1. The Coiled-coil domain contains a DH domain, which is arranged in the opposite order to other classic Rho-GEFs. This DH domain is the main catalytic domain of the SWAP70 protein and interacts with Rac-GTPases, promoting their GDP / GTP exchange. The 60 amino acid residues at the C-terminus can bind F-actin to participate in cell movement.

[0043] This application provides a method for preparing a tumor polypeptide vaccine for treating breast cancer, comprising the following steps:

[0044] 1) 8 CD8s + Preparation of polypeptide fragments from T cell epitopes

[0045] Whole-exome sequencing and mRNA gene expression sequencing: DNA from breast cancer cells was randomly fragmented into 150-200 bp segments using an ultrasonic disruptor. After purification with magnetic beads, the fragments underwent end-repair and A-base addition to the 3' ends to form sticky ends. These were then ligated with adapters containing specific barcode sequences. Magnetic beads were used to screen and remove incompletely ligated products and adapter self-ligation products. PCR amplification was performed using universal primers complementary to the adapter sequences to form the total sequencing library. Hybridization was then performed using Agilent probes in hybridization buffer, and the target fragments were captured and purified using magnetic beads. PCR amplification of the captured DNA fragments and purification of the PCR products yielded the target sequencing library. The library concentration was detected using a Qubit real-time fluorescence analyzer, and the fragment lengths were determined using an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer. Finally, next-generation sequencing was performed using Illumina.

[0046] The data obtained from whole-exome sequencing were analyzed. Then, the CD8 sequence of the mutant peptide of the tumor-associated gene SWAP70 was analyzed using NetMHC and NetMHCpan software. + T-cell epitope prediction was performed, and neoantigen mutation sequences were scored. The top 20 mutant polypeptide sequences were selected, and then polypeptide fragments were synthesized from the top 20 mutant polypeptide sequences using chemical synthesis methods.

[0047] Twenty chemically synthesized polypeptide fragments were mixed together and mixed with an adjuvant polyinosinic acid-polycytosine nucleotide dilution to prepare solution 1. BALB / c mice were immunized with solution 1 on the right hind limb back, with a booster immunization on day 7. Fourteen days after immunization, the spleens of the mice were harvested, and a single-cell suspension was prepared. The suspension was then analyzed using the ELISOPT enzyme-linked immunospot assay to generate IFN-γ spots greater than or equal to 10 / 5 × 10⁻⁶. 5 A single spleen cell count is considered a positive criterion. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the results of ELISPOT screening for immunogenic mutant antigen peptide fragments provided by the present invention, as shown in the figure. Figure 1 As shown, from 20 mutant polypeptide fragments, 8 polypeptide fragments with immunogenic mutant antigens, namely 8 CD8 peptides, were screened out. + The polypeptide fragments of T cell epitopes have amino acid sequences shown in Table 1 as SEQ ID NO: 1-8.

[0048] Based on the amino acid sequence of the SWAP70 protein and 8 CD8 sequences screened... + Mutation sites were designed in peptide fragments targeting T cell epitopes, with 19 amino acids covering the mutation sites. Three CD4 mutations were then designed. +The polypeptide fragments of T cell epitopes have amino acid sequences as shown in Table 1, SEQ ID NO: 9-11.

[0068]

[0069]

[0070] To demonstrate the beneficial effects of the tumor peptide vaccines prepared in the embodiments of this application for treating breast cancer, the tumor peptide vaccines prepared in the examples and comparative examples were tested.

Starting the day after tumor cell inoculation, tumor-bearing mice were treated with the tumor peptide vaccine prepared in the examples and comparative examples at a dose of 77.5 mg / kg (including 75 mg / kg peptide mixture and 2.5 mg / kg adjuvant). A blank control group was also established, and tumor-bearing mice were administered PBS extended-release formulation starting the day after tumor cell inoculation. Administration was twice weekly for 3 weeks. Tumor diameter was measured using calipers during the twice-weekly administration. The tumor-suppressive efficacy of the tumor peptide vaccine was evaluated using TGI (%), which reflects the tumor growth inhibition rate.

[0072] The formula for calculating tumor volume is: V = 0.5a × 2b, where a and b represent the long and short diameters of the tumor, respectively.

[0073] TGI(%) = [1 - (mean tumor volume at the end of treatment in a certain example - mean tumor volume at the beginning of treatment in that example) / (mean tumor volume at the end of treatment in the blank control - mean tumor volume at the beginning of treatment in the blank control)] × 100%.

Figure 4 This is an immunoassay flow cytogram of spleen cells from tumor-bearing mice in this invention.

Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the proportions of immune cell subsets in tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes from tumor-bearing mice in this invention, as shown below. Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, CD4 produced in tumor-bearing mice + T cells and CD8 + T cells actively participate in anti-tumor immune responses.
