[0176] This embodiment also provides the characterization of the nanooperons used to construct CAR-T cells described above, specifically:

[0177] 1) This embodiment characterized the prepared nanooperon (FuNV), specifically including:

Figure 8 The TEM image of the nanomanipulator is shown in the figure. Figure 9 The TEM image of the nanomanipulator is shown in the figure.

[0179] According to Figure 8 It can be seen that the particle size of the nanomanipulator is about 104.1 nm, and the particle size distribution is uniform.

[0180] According to Figure 9 It can be seen that the nanomanipulator is a spherical particle with a membrane structure, and the particle size is about 90 nm.

[0181] 2) The present embodiment detects the nanomanipulator carrying the targeting T cell membrane fusion protein and the alpha CD19 CAR protein by Western blotting (WB), which specifically includes:

Among them, Figure 10 The detection results of the WB detection of the nanomanipulator carrying the targeting T cell membrane fusion protein expression are shown in the figure. Figure 11 The detection results of the WB detection of the nanomanipulator carrying the alpha CD19-CAR protein expression are shown in the figure.

[0183] According to Figures 10-11 It can be seen that the nanomanipulator prepared in the present embodiment can effectively carry the targeting T cell membrane fusion protein and the alpha CD19-CAR protein.

[0184] 3) Nanomanipulator (FuNV) and T cell membrane fusion efficiency detection

[0185] Take 40 μg of FuNV and NV and label with membrane dye DiI, then co-incubate with mouse spleen sorted T cells for 10 h. After washing the T cells with PBS, label the T cells with APC anti-CD3 antibody, and use laser confocal microscopy to observe the distribution of DiI on the surface of T cells, and the results are shown in Figure 10 Figure 12 The results of detecting that the membrane fusion protein targeting T cells promotes the membrane fusion of nanomanipulator and T cells are shown.

[0186] According to Figure 12 It can be seen that in the FuNV group, DiI is distributed on the surface of T cells, which can be observed by laser confocal microscopy, while no significant DiI molecules on the surface of T cells are observed in the NV group, indicating that the membrane fusion protein targeting T cells can promote the membrane fusion of nanomanipulator and T cells.

[0191] According to Figure 14 It can be seen that the particle size of FuNV stored at 4℃ and -20℃ changes obviously after long-term storage, while no obvious change in particle size is observed after long-term storage at -80℃. Therefore, -80℃ is the suitable storage temperature condition for FuNV.

[0194] 2.1 FuNV CAR Preparation of CAR-T cells in vitro

[0195] ​​​FuNVs were produced using RAW264.7 cells co-expressing the T cell membrane targeting fusion protein and the aCD19-CAR protein CAR ) 40 pg, and incubated with mouse spleen sorted T cells for 10 h, after which the T cells were washed and cultured continuously. The FuNVs were stained with AF647 aMyc-tag antibody and detected by flow cytometry CAR The efficiency of CAR-T cell construction in vitro was detected, and the results are shown in Figure 15 . Among them, Figure 15 shows the detection results of the efficiency of the nano-operon in constructing CAR-T cells in vitro.

[0196] According to Figure 15 , it can be seen that after co-incubation and 24 h of culture, p14TF-FuNV CAR produced CAR-T cells accounted for 30.2%, while MVTF-FuNV CAR produced CAR-T cells accounted for 36.7%. With the increase of culture time, the proportion of CAR-T cells gradually decreased, and at 72 h, the proportion of CAR-T cells was less than 5%. It is proved that the CAR protein can be delivered to the surface of T cells by membrane fusion through the T cell membrane targeting fusion protein.

[0197] 2.2 FuNV CAR in vitro killing efficiency detection of CAR-T cells

[0198] Mouse spleen isolated T cells were incubated with FuNV CAR to produce aCD19 CAR-T cells, and these aCD19 CAR-T cells were co-cultured with Hoechst 33342-stained mouse B lymphoma A20 cells, mouse melanoma B16-F10 cells and mouse colorectal cancer CT26 cells (T cells and tumor cells ratio of 10:1) for 48 h. The cells were washed with PBS for 3 times, and the Hoechst 33342 fluorescence value in the tumor cells was detected to represent the killing efficiency of CAR-T cells.

[0199] Calculation formula: % cytotoxicity = [F(PBS) - F(Treat)] / F(PBS) x 100%.

[0200] The detection results are shown in Figure 16 . Among them, Figure 16 shows the in vitro killing efficiency detection results of the CAR-T cells constructed by the nano-operon, specifically: Figure 16 A shows the detection results of the cytotoxicity of aCD19 CAR-T cells constructed by the nano-operon to A20 cells; Figure 16B shows the detection results of cytotoxicity of aCD19 CAR-T cells with nano- operon construction on B16-F10 cells; Figure 16 C shows the detection results of cytotoxicity of aCD19 CAR-T cells with nano- operon construction on CT26 cells.

[0201] According to Figure 16 It can be seen that the FuNV CAR produced aCD19-CAR T cells have about 30% killing effect on A20 cells, which is significantly higher than the untreated T cells, but there is no significant killing enhancement effect on non-target cells B16-F10 and CT26. It is proved that the CAR-T cells prepared by nano-operon have killing specificity.

[0202] 2.3 FuNV CAR Efficiency of generating CAR-T cells in vivo

[0203] FuNV CAR (4.5mg / kg) was injected through the tail vein, and the mice were sacrificed after 24h, the mouse blood and spleen were collected and treated as single cell suspension, the CAR-T cell proportion in mouse blood and spleen was detected by AF647αMyctag antibody labeling CAR molecules, and the detection results were shown in the following table.

[0204] According to Figure 17 It can be seen that by single tail vein injection of FuNV CAR , 1.31% to 2.07% of CAR-T cells can be detected in blood and spleen. The experimental results prove that CAR-T cells can be generated in vivo by injecting nano-operon through the tail vein.

[0205] 2.4 FuNV CAR for mouse B lymphoma treatment

[0206] We constructed a mouse B cell lymphoma A20 cell subcutaneous tumor model. The tumor-bearing mice were randomly divided into 4 groups, 5 in each group, and 300μL of PBS, NV, p14TF-FuNV CAR and MVTF-FuNV CAR (nano-operon injection dose of 4.5mg / kg) were injected through the tail vein respectively. The drug was given once every two days, and a total of 5 times. During the treatment, the tumor size was measured with a vernier caliper every day, and the change of mouse body weight was detected.​

[0207] Tumor volume is calculated using the following formula: Tumor volume (mm) 3 = 0.5 × length × width 2 .

[0208] The test results are Figure 18 As shown. Among them, Figure 18 The results of using nanooperons to treat B-cell lymphoma are shown, specifically: Figure 18 A shows the tumor growth in different treatment groups during the treatment trial; Figure 18 B shows the tumor growth in different treatment groups during the treatment trial.

[0209] according to Figure 18 It can be seen that in the PBS and NV groups, tumor growth was rapid, while in the p14TF-FuNV group... CAR and MVTF-FuNV CAR Tumor growth was significantly inhibited in the experimental group. Furthermore, no significant change in body weight was observed in the treatment group mice compared to the PBS group, indicating that FuNV... CAR It has low toxicity to mice.

[0210] 2.5FuNV CAR Cytokine release syndrome detection

[0211] Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) is one of the serious side effects of CAR-T cell therapy. To detect whether CRS occurs during the treatment experiment, we used ELISA to detect the levels of CRS-related cytokines in mouse plasma after the experiment. The results were as follows: Figure 19 As shown. Among them, Figure 19 The results of in vivo detection of inflammatory cytokine expression after treatment of B-cell lymphoma with nanooperons are shown, specifically: Figure 19 A shows the results of in vivo detection of interleukin 1β expression after treatment of B-cell lymphoma with nanooperons; Figure 19 B shows the results of in vivo detection of interleukin-6 expression after treatment of B-cell lymphoma with nanooperons; Figure 19 C shows the results of detecting granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor expression in vivo after treatment of B-cell lymphoma with nanooperons.

[0212] according to Figure 19 Analysis of the levels of inflammatory cytokines IL-1β, IL-6, and GM-CSF in mouse plasma showed that the expression levels of CRS-related cytokines were not increased in the treatment group compared to the PBS group, indicating that FuNV therapy was effective. CARThe in vivo production of CAR-T cells effectively inhibited tumor growth without causing CRS with massive cytokine production, indicating that the method is highly safe.

[0213] 2.6 FuNV CAR Combination of immune checkpoint antibodies for mouse B lymphoma treatment

[0214] Compared with existing CAR-T cell therapy, the preparation method of in vivo direct production of CAR-T cells does not go through the activation process, and the tumor killing ability is limited. Therefore, FuNV CAR Combination of immune checkpoint therapy anti-OX40 antibody (aOX40) for mouse B lymphoma treatment.

[0215] In the tumor cell killing experiment at the cell level, aOX40 (10 μg / mL) was added in the co-culture experiment of aCD19-CAR-T cells prepared by nanomanipulator and A20 cells, and the killing efficiency of CAR-T cells added with aOX40 nanomanipulator was detected after co-culture for 48 h, and the results are shown in Figure 18 , wherein Figure 20 The detection results of aOX40 promoting the killing efficiency of CAR-T cells prepared by nanomanipulator are shown;

[0216] According to Figure 20 It can be seen that the killing effect of aCD19 CAR-T cells on A20 cells is significantly enhanced,

[0217] In the anti-tumor treatment experiment at the animal level, the A20B cell lymphoma tumor-bearing mice were evenly divided into 6 groups, 5 in each group, and 300 μL of PBS, p14TF-FuNV CAR , MVTF-FuNV CAR , aOX40, p14TF-FuNV CAR + aOX40 and MVTF-FuNV CAR + aOX40 (wherein the injection dose of nanomanipulator is 4.5 mg / kg, and aOX40 is intraperitoneally injected with 50 μg) were injected into the tail vein of each group. The drug was administered once every two days, and a total of 5 times. During the treatment, the tumor size was measured with a vernier caliper every day, and the body weight change of the mice was detected.

[0218] The tumor volume was calculated according to the following formula: tumor volume (mm 3 ) = 0.5 x length x width 2 .

[0219] The detection results are shown in Figure 21 , wherein Figure 21 The experimental results of nanomanipulator combined with aOX40 for treating B cell lymphoma are shown, specifically: Figure 21A shows the tumor growth of each group in the treatment experiment; Figure 21 B shows the weight change of each group of mice in the treatment experiment.

[0220] According to Figure 21 It can be seen that the use of aOX40 or nanomanipulator alone can inhibit tumor growth. Nanomanipulator combined with aOX40 can significantly enhance the inhibitory effect on tumor. During the whole treatment process, the body weight of mice in each group did not change significantly, indicating that nanomanipulator combined with aOX40 therapy did not cause serious toxicity to mice.
