Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to an engineered cell composition and a preparation method and application thereof. The cell composition of the present invention is a macrophage or a monocyte. Background Art
[0002] Adoptive cell therapy involves the isolation, ex vivo activation and / or expansion of immune cells and their reinfusion into the patient, and its effect can be significantly increased by incorporating molecular-specific chimeric antigen receptors expressed on tumor cells. Adoptive cell therapy has revolutionized the clinical approach to treating cancer. The most prominent example to date is CAR-T cell therapy. Over the past decade, CAR-T cell therapy has transformed the field of oncology, showing exciting efficacy in previously incurable blood tumors. However, the treatment of solid tumors with CAR-T faces multiple obstacles, including an unfavorable tumor microenvironment, intra- / extra-tumor toxicity, and undesirable antigen specificity. There are relatively many types of adverse reactions to CAR-T therapy, among which cytokine storm (CRS) is the inevitable primary treatment risk in CAR-T therapy. In addition, off-target effects and neurotoxicity are also the most common and thorny safety issues. Therefore, exploring innate immune cells, including natural killer cells, macrophages, etc., to kill tumor cells makes it possible for them to succeed where T cell therapy is insufficient.
[0003] Monocytes and macrophages are able to target inflamed tissues and deliver therapeutic drugs. Macrophages have been reported to be used for targeted delivery to the brain, sites of inflammation, infection, or tumors. Unlike macrophages, which are terminally differentiated cells that are permanently present in various tissues, monocytes are circulating cells and can therefore navigate the vasculature and target difficult-to-reach pathological tissues. Macrophages are plastic and can assume a variety of roles, such as defense against foreign pathogens, promotion of wound healing and repair, and regulation of tissue homeostasis.
[0004] Traditionally, it is believed that drugs engulfed by macrophages and entering the phagosome will degrade the drugs and reduce the drug release rate. In addition, anti-tumor drugs can reduce the survival or migration ability of macrophages. In order to improve the above defects, efforts have been made to design to weaken the effects of macrophage engulfment and isolate the drugs outside the cells to protect the cells and drugs from degradation. Reports have shown that the size and shape of polymer particles become factors in regulating the above cell functions, the most important of which is phagocytosis. By changing the shape of the designed particles through physical parameters, particles that can avoid macrophage phagocytosis are developed, which bind to the cell surface and retain the basic cell functions of the cells.
[0005] Previously, we reported an engineered particle called a “backpack” that can firmly adhere to the surface of macrophages and modulate cell phenotype in vivo. The backpack evades phagocytosis for several days and releases cytokines, continuously directing macrophage polarization toward an anti-tumor phenotype. This represents a new approach to control and maintain the phenotype of adoptive cell immunotherapy.
[0006] In order to enhance the interaction with the cell surface, some specific molecules with cell surface recognition ability have attracted much attention. Among them, lectin has become one of them. It is a protein or glycoprotein purified from various plants, invertebrates and higher animals that contains at least one catalytically inactive domain. It can non-covalently reversibly bind to specific monosaccharides or oligosaccharides, has no enzyme activity or immunological activity characteristics, and is widely present in various organisms from viruses to mammals. Lectins are mainly divided into five categories: fucose, galactose / N-acetylgalactosamine, glucose / N-acetylglucosamine, mannose and N-acetylneuraminic acid. Plant lectins have a wide range of applications in biomedical research, diagnosis and treatment, and play a key role in immunology.
[0007] Liposomes were discovered by British scholars Bangham and Standish in 1965 through electron microscopy. Phospholipids can spontaneously form bilayer vesicles in water and were named liposomes, becoming one of the major discoveries in the pharmaceutical field in the 20th century. Liposomes are self-assembled bodies of lipid molecules or lipids, and are bilayer structures spontaneously formed by lipid molecules or lipids in water. Liposomes can encapsulate drugs of various properties and exhibit multiple functions. Liposomes are divided into single-chamber, multi-chamber and multivesicular liposomes. Preparation methods include thin film dispersion method, reverse evaporation method, double emulsion method, active drug loading method (ammonium sulfate gradient, pH gradient, ion gradient), freeze-thaw cycle method, solvent injection method, etc.
[0008] Lipid nanoparticles are usually composed of amphiphilic lipid materials, structural lipid materials, PEG lipid materials, and ionic lipid materials. These components form a nanoscale structure, the core of which is a lipid bilayer composed of amphiphilic lipid materials, which can encapsulate drugs, such as mRNA vaccines. This structure has excellent biocompatibility and stability, which helps protect the drug from degradation. In addition, the surface of the preparation can be modified with PEG (PEG lipid material) to increase blood circulation time and reduce the chance of being cleared by the immune system. The preparation can also improve in vivo biodistribution, increase its cellular uptake efficiency, and promote its delivery to target cells. In addition, the surface of the preparation can be targeted by changing the lipid composition and surface modification. Tumor-specific surface markers can increase its affinity for tumor tissue, enrich in tumor cells, and reduce its adverse effects on healthy tissues.
[0009] Polylactic acid-glycolic acid (abbreviated as PLGA) is a copolymer formed by lactic acid (LA) and glycolic acid (GA). When PLGA enters the body, it hydrolyzes to generate corresponding lactic acid and glycolic acid through ester bonds, and finally transforms into carbon dioxide and water after the tricarboxylic acid cycle. PLGA is non-irritating to the human body, non-toxic and has good biocompatibility and biodegradability. Drug delivery systems based on PLGA carriers provide great opportunities for biomedicine. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) have approved several new drugs based on PLGA, which are widely used in clinical treatment or diagnosis of diseases. The preparation methods of PLGA nanoparticles or PLGA microparticles mainly include emulsification solvent evaporation method, spray drying method, nanoparticle precipitation method, phase separation method, dialysis method and microfluidics method.
[0010] Compared with CAR technology, which has a high starting point, large investment, and requires multidisciplinary collaboration, the use of liposomes, lipid nanoparticles, or PLGA nanoparticles / microparticles to modify macrophages / monocytes is more mature in technology, easier to achieve mass production, more feasible, and has a greater advantage in input-output ratio.

The in vivo tumor targeting of the cell composition is evaluated by the change in fluorescence intensity in the tumor-bearing nude mice.
