Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of cells, and in particular to a cytokine combination, a culture medium, a tumor-specific T cell population and applications thereof. Background Art

[0002] Lung cancer is one of the most common and lethal cancers. It is highly malignant, progresses rapidly, has a high recurrence rate after surgery, and has poor treatment effects. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a common form of lung cancer. About 2 million people are diagnosed with lung cancer each year, resulting in 20,000 deaths. Non-small cell lung cancer accounts for 80-85% of lung cancer cases. Patients with advanced NSCLC can currently receive a variety of treatments, including traditional radiotherapy, chemotherapy, molecular targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. At present, antibody-drug conjugates (ADC), immune checkpoint inhibitors, and cell therapy products (TIL, CAR-T, DC, CIK, DC-CIK, NKT, γδT) are also used in lung cancer research. Cell therapy for lung cancer has established its anti-tumor effect in basic research and clinical trials. Further enhancing the specificity, recognition function, and anti-tumor ability of immune cells through genetic engineering modification, bispecific antibodies, and immune checkpoint molecular intervention is an important means of immunotherapy in the future. Although several cell therapy products for certain types of cancer have been approved for marketing worldwide, cell therapy products specifically for lung cancer have not yet been approved for marketing. Lung cancer has the highest incidence rate among all cancers, so there is an urgent need for cell therapy products that can target lung cancer and be used in the treatment of lung cancer. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of this, the present invention provides a cytokine combination, culture medium, tumor-specific T cell group and its application.

It is a mixed T lymphocyte obtained by in vitro activation and amplification culture of mononuclear cells (PBMC) in the patient's own peripheral blood by CD3 antibody combined with cytokines, and then frozen and stored by adding a therapeutic cell cryoprotectant. After being re-infused into the patient's body, it can supplement the patient's body with specific T lymphocytes with natural anti-tumor ability, improve the body's immunity, and enhance the monitoring and killing of tumor cells by T cells.

Its red excitation wavelength is 630 nm and the emission wavelength is 661 nm. It can visualize six or more generations of proliferating cells before the cell's inherent autofluorescence masks the labeled fluorescent signal. It is suitable for labeling cells in vitro and in vivo.

[0194] CDX: cell derived xenograft, a human tumor cell line xenograft, refers to a tumor model established by inoculating human tumor cells into immunodeficient mice after in vitro subculture. The common inoculation sites are subcutaneous, in situ or intravenous. Because of its clear tumor growth dynamics, easy genetic manipulation, high tumor formation rate, low price, and ability to generate consistent and reproducible data, it is widely used in cancer research and anticancer drug development, and is the preferred model for in vivo drug screening.

[0195] PDX: A human-derived tumor xenograft model, is a new tumor research model established by directly inoculating patient tumor tissue into immunodeficient mice. This model retains the main histological and genetic characteristics of its donor tumor and can remain stable in subsequent passages. It is a preclinical research model that can maintain high consistency with clinical samples and has high clinical predictive value. It can be used in preclinical drug evaluation, biomarker identification and personalized precision medicine research.

[0196] ELISPOT: Solid-phase enzyme-linked immunosorbent spot technique uses coated antibodies to capture cytokines secreted by cells in culture and presents them in the form of enzyme-linked spot color development.

[0197] RTV: relative tumor volume, refers to the tumor volume at the end of an experimental cycle.

[0198] IRTV: relative tumor inhibition rate, used to evaluate the inhibitory effect of test drugs on tumor growth in vivo (i.e. animal experiments).

[0240]

[0241] Note: ℃ / m represents the temperature change per minute, S represents the sample temperature, and C represents the chamber temperature.

[0242] Parameter Optimization

[0243] The parameters during the culture of tumor-specific T cell populations were optimized, including the dilution ratio of peripheral PBMC-enriched blood, the concentration of cytokines used in the culture system, the formula of complete culture medium, the expansion culture time, the amount of autologous plasma added, the secretion of IL-2 after cells were cultured with different concentrations of CD3 coating fluid, and the secretion of cytokines by tumor-specific T cell populations.

[0244] 2. Optimization of parameters for preparation of tumor-specific T cell populations

[0245] 2.1. Peripheral PBMC Enrichment Blood Dilution Ratio

[0246] The tumor-specific T cell population was cultured according to "1. Preparation method of tumor-specific T cell population" under Example 1, except that the dilution ratio of peripheral PBMC-enriched blood before PBMC separation was different:

[0247] Group 1: peripheral PBMC-enriched blood: diluent = 1:1;

[0248] Group 2: peripheral PBMC-enriched blood: diluent = 1:2;

[0249] Group 3: peripheral PBMC-enriched blood: diluent = 1:4;

[0250] Group 4: peripheral PBMC-enriched blood: diluent = 1:6.

[0251] After dilution using the above four dilution ratios, PBMCs were centrifuged and separated respectively. Samples were taken and counted, and the PBMC yield / 1mL peripheral PBMC-enriched blood under different dilution ratios was calculated ( Figure 1 , Table 2), and then the tumor-specific T cell populations of each group were prepared according to the method of Example 1, and the viability and proliferation times of the tumor-specific T cell populations cultured in each group were compared ( Figure 2 ), purity (Table 3, Figure 3 ).

[0252] Table 2 PBMC harvest volume / 1mL peripheral PBMC-enriched blood under different dilution ratios

[0253]

[0254] Table 3 Viability and phenotype proportion of tumor-specific T cell populations isolated under different dilution ratios

[0255]

[0256] The results in Tables 2 and 3 show that the PBMC yield in Group 3 was the highest, at 75.36×10 6 There was a significant difference between group 1 and group 3 (p<0.05); there was no statistically significant difference in the proliferation times and purity of the tumor-specific T cell population cultured among the four groups of samples. The optimal dilution ratio of PBMC-enriched blood was determined to be 1:4 for peripheral PBMC-enriched blood: diluent.

[0257] 2.2. Cytokine concentrations used in the culture system

[0258] The tumor-specific T cell population was cultured according to "1. Preparation method of tumor-specific T cell population" under Example 1, except that the concentration of cytokines in the complete culture medium during the primary activation culture and the expansion culture was different:

[0259] Group 1: CAPRI cell culture medium (Publication No.: CN 105524883 B, invention name: cell culture medium formula in patent "CAPRI cells and preparation method thereof")

[0260] Group 2: primary activation cytokine concentrations: rhIL-2: 10 IU / mL, rhIL-4: 10 IU / mL, G-CSF: 1000 IU / mL; amplification cytokine concentrations: rhIL-2: 10 IU / mL;

[0261] Group 3: primary activation cytokine concentrations: rhIL-2: 2000 IU / mL, rhIL-4: 800 IU / mL, G-CSF: 10000 IU / mL; amplification cytokine concentrations: rhIL-2: 2000 IU / mL;

[0262] Group 4: primary activation cytokine concentrations: rhIL-2: 400 IU / mL, rhIL-4: 40 IU / mL, G-CSF: 3500 IU / mL; expansion cytokine concentrations: rhIL-2: 400 IU / mL;

[0263] Group 5: primary activation cytokine concentrations: rhIL-2: 500 IU / mL, rhIL-4: 50 IU / mL, G-CSF: 4000 IU / mL; expansion cytokine concentrations: rhIL-2: 500 IU / mL;

[0264] Group 6: Primary activation cytokine concentrations: rhIL-2: 600 IU / mL, rhIL-4: 60 IU / mL, G-CSF: 4500 IU / mL; amplification cytokine concentration: rhIL-2: 600 IU / mL.

[0265] After the pre-culture, different concentrations of cytokines were added to the pre-cultured cell solution according to the preset combination, and the tumor-specific T cell population was cultured and harvested according to the preparation method of Example 1, and the cell expansion times of each group were compared ( Figure 4 ), cell purity (Table 4). At the same time, the harvested tumor-specific T cell population was co-cultured with HCC827 to detect its killing activity (Table 5).

[0266] Table 4 Expansion folds and cell phenotypes of tumor-specific T cell populations under different cytokine concentrations

[0267]

[0268] Table 5 Cytotoxic activity of tumor-specific T cell populations under different cytokine concentrations (%)

[0269]

[0270] The results in Tables 4 and 5 show that the expansion multiple of tumor-specific T cell population was the highest in Group 4, followed by Group 5 and Group 6; and there was a significant difference in the expansion multiple between Group 4 and other groups (p<0.05), and there was no statistically significant difference in the expansion multiple of tumor-specific T cell population between the other groups (p>0.05), and the lowest was Group 1 (CAPRI control). The cell phenotypes CD3+ / CD45+ and CD3+CD8+CD4- / CD3 accounted for a higher proportion in Group 4, Group 5, and Group 6; the two cell phenotypes accounted for the lowest proportion in Group 1 (CAPRI control). The CD3-(CD16+orCD56+) / CD45+ and CD3-CD19+ / CD45+ accounted for a lower proportion in Group 4, Group 5, and Group 6; the highest proportion was in Group 1 (CAPRI control). The cytotoxic activity was higher in Group 4, Group 5, and Group 6; the lowest cytotoxic activity was in Group 1 (CAPRI control).

[0271] Based on the above results, it was confirmed that the primary activation cytokine concentrations: rhIL-2: 400-600 IU / mL, rhIL-4: 40-60 IU / mL, G-CSF: 3500-4500 IU / mL, and the expansion cytokine concentrations: rhIL-2: 400-600 IU / mL are the cytokine concentrations used in the optimal culture system for activation and culture of tumor-specific T cell populations.

[0272] 2.3. Complete medium formulation

[0273] Tumor-specific T cell populations were cultured according to "1. Preparation of Tumor-Specific T Cell Populations" under Example 1, with the only difference being the formula of the complete culture medium used for expansion (the basal culture medium for each group was CTS™ AIM-V™ Medium).

[0274] Group 1: basal medium;

[0275] Group 2: basal medium + 1% autologous plasma;

[0276] Group 3: basal medium + human serum albumin (1:10);

[0277] Group 4: basal medium + human serum albumin (1:20);

[0278] Group 5: basal medium + human serum albumin (1:50);

[0279] Group 6: basal medium + CTS™ Immune Cell SR (1:20);

[0280] Group 7: basal medium + CTS™ Immune Cell SR (1:50);

[0281] By detecting the viability, proliferation ability, and cell phenotype of PBMC and tumor-specific T cell populations (Table 6, Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 ) and other projects to determine the optimal complete culture medium formula for the culture of tumor-specific T cell populations.

[0282] Table 6 The viability, expansion times and cell phenotype of tumor-specific T cell populations cultured with different complete medium formulas

[0283]

[0284] The results in Table 6 show that the cell viability of Group 2 was maintained above 95%, while that of the other groups was below 90%. Among the cell populations in Group 2, Tc cells (CD3+CD8+CD4- / CD3+) accounted for the highest proportion, while B cells (CD3-CD19+ / CD45+ / %) accounted for the lowest proportion. The culture medium of Group 2, i.e., basal culture medium + 1% autologous plasma, was most conducive to the culture of tumor-specific T cell populations.

[0285] 2.4. Expansion culture time

[0286] According to the method for preparing tumor-specific T cell populations in Example 1, after the activation culture is completed, the expansion culture is carried out according to the preset culture time, and finally the tumor-specific T cell population is harvested. The only difference is the expansion culture time. At the same time, the harvested tumor-specific T cell population is co-cultured with HCC827 and its killing activity is detected to compare the expansion multiples (Table 7, Figure 8 ), purity, in vitro killing (Table 8), etc.

[0287] Table 7 Tumor-specific T cell population viability and expansion times at different expansion times

[0288]

[0289] Table 8 The same effector target killing activity of tumor-specific T cell populations cultured at different expansion times

[0290]

[0291] The results in Tables 7 and 8 show that as the expansion culture time increases, the proliferation times of the tumor-specific T cell population increase, and the cell viability does not show a significant decrease. The one-way analysis of variance (LSD method) was used to evaluate the expansion times of the tumor-specific T cell population among the groups. The results showed that the differences in the expansion times of the tumor-specific T cell population between the 72h group and the 120h group, and between the 96h group and the 120h group were statistically significant (p < 0.01). At the effector-target ratio of 20:1 and 10:1, there was no difference in the killing activity of the tumor-specific T cell population in the 96h group and the 120h group compared with the killing activity of the tumor-specific T cell population in the 72h group ( Fig. 9 ), which was not statistically significant (p > 0.05), indicating that the extension of the expansion culture time did not affect the killing effect. The killing activity of the effector-target ratio (5:1) group was selected to calculate the total killing rate, and the total killing rate of tumor-specific T cell populations at different expansion times was calculated using the expansion multiple × killing activity (Table 9). After analysis, it was found that the 96 h group had the highest total killing rate, so the expansion culture time was preferably 96 h.

[0292] Table 9 Total killing rate at different amplification times

[0293]

[0294] 2.5. Different amounts of autologous plasma added

[0295] The tumor-specific T cell population was cultured according to the method of "1. Preparation of tumor-specific T cell population" under Example 1, except for the amount of autologous plasma added during the expansion culture.

[0296] Group 1: no addition of autologous plasma;

[0297] Group 2: 1% autologous plasma added;

[0298] Group 3: Add 2% autologous plasma;

[0299] Group 4: 3% autologous plasma added;

[0300] By detecting the activity rate, proliferation ability, and cell phenotype of tumor-specific T cell population (Table 10, Table 11, Fig.10 , Fig.11 , Fig.12 ) and other items to determine the optimal amount of autologous plasma to be added during the cultivation of tumor-specific T cell populations.

[0301] Table 10 The viability and expansion times of tumor-specific T cell populations at different autologous plasma addition amounts

[0302]

[0303] Table 11 Phenotypes of tumor-specific T cell populations at different autologous plasma addition amounts

[0304]

[0305] The results in Table 10 show that the cell viability of the group with added autologous plasma (Group 2, Group 3, Group 4) is significantly higher than that of the group without added autologous plasma (Group 1), and the cell viability gradually increases with the increase in the amount of autologous plasma added. The expansion multiples were the highest in Group 3 and the lowest in Group 1. The results in Table 11 show that the proportion of CD3+ / CD45+ phenotype in the group with added autologous plasma (Group 2, Group 3, Group 4) is higher than that in the group without added autologous plasma (Group 1); the proportion of CD3-CD19+ / CD45+ (Group 2, Group 3, Group 4) is lower than that in the group without added autologous plasma (Group 1). This indicates that autologous plasma should be added during the culture process, and the optimal amount of autologous plasma added is 1%-3%.

[0306] 2.6. IL-2 secretion after cells were cultured with different concentrations of CD3 coating medium

[0307] Six CD3 coating concentrations (0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 μg / mL) were set in the experiment, and the amount of IL-2 secreted by Jurkat cells stimulated by the six groups of CD3 concentrations was counted. The results are shown in Table 12.

[0308] Table 12 IL-2 secretion after cells were cultured with different concentrations of CD3 coating solution

[0309]

[0310] As shown in Table 12, the secretion of IL-2 was the highest when the CD3 coating concentration was 4 μg / mL, which was 482.21 ± 39.57. The next highest was the CD3 coating concentration groups of 8 μg / mL and 2 μg / mL, with the IL-2 contents of the two groups being 464.63 ± 32.05 and 444.91 ± 14.21, respectively. When the coating concentration was lower than 4 μg / mL, the amount of IL-2 secreted by Jurkat cells continued to increase with the increase of CD3 coating concentration. However, when the coating concentration was higher than 4 μg / mL, the amount of IL-2 secreted by Jurkat cells continued to decrease with the increase of CD3 coating concentration.

[0311] In summary, a CD3 coating concentration of 1-16 μg / mL is more conducive to stimulating the secretion of IL-2, but the most preferred CD3 coating concentration is 2-8 μg / mL.

[0312] 2.7. Cytokine secretion by tumor-specific T cell populations

[0313] In order to confirm the secretion range of intracellular factors of tumor-specific T cell populations, six batches of tumor-specific T cell populations were prepared using "1. Preparation method of tumor-specific T cell populations" under Example 1, and the secretion of IFN-γ and Granzyme B of each batch of samples was compared (Table 13, Fig.13 ):

[0314] Table 13 Statistics of cytokine secretion content of tumor-specific T cell populations in each batch

[0315]

[0316] According to the data of 6 batches of repeated preparations, the average content of Granzyme B secreted by the harvested tumor-specific T cell population was 78.70 ± 4.79%, with the highest being 87.48% and the lowest being 73.26%, both within the range of 70-90%; the average content of IFN-γ secreted was 25.56 ± 14.26, with the highest being 12.65% and the lowest being 48.16%, both within the range of 10-50%.

[0317] Example 2 Verification of the function of tumor-specific T cell population in killing lung cancer cells in vitro

[0318] 1. RTCA method verifies the ability of tumor-specific T cell population to kill lung cancer cells in vitro

[0319] The RTCA method was used to verify the killing of lung cancer cells by tumor-specific T cell populations. The tumor-specific T cell population injection prepared according to Example 1 was used to co-culture the injection with HCC827 cells to observe the proliferation and growth of HCC827 cells on the xCELLigence RTCA Instrument system after adding the tumor-specific T cell population injection, and to detect the killing effect of the tumor-specific T cell population injection on lung cancer cells.

[0320] HCC827 cells were cultured overnight to allow them to fully adhere to the wall. Tumor-specific T cell population injection was added to the HCC827 cell culture wells in proportion. The proliferation and growth process of HCC827 cells after adding tumor-specific T cell population injection was monitored, and the impedance signal of target cells was measured. This experiment was divided into 6 groups, each group was plated with 0.5×10 4 HCC827 cells, and the number of tumor-specific T cell populations added to each group is as follows:

[0321] Group 1: Add 20×10 4 Tumor-specific T cell population injection cells, that is, E:T is 40:1

[0322] Group 2: Add 10×10 4Tumor-specific T cell population injection cells, that is, E:T is 20:1

[0323] Group 3: Add 5×10 4 Tumor-specific T cell population injection cells, that is, E:T is 10:1

[0324] Group 4: Add 2.5 × 10 4 Tumor-specific T cell population injection cells, that is, E:T is 5:1

[0325] Group 5: Add 0.5×10 4 Tumor-specific T cell population injection cells, that is, E:T is 1:1

[0326] Group 6: Only the same volume of culture medium was added without adding tumor-specific T cell population, i.e., the control group.

[0327] Table 14 Fig.14 , Fig.15 The results showed that after 72 hours of co-culture, the Normalized Cell Index of the co-culture test groups with various effector-target ratios (40:1, 20:1, 10:1, and 5:1) of the tumor-specific T cell population injection solution was significantly decreased compared with that of the target cell control group, which was statistically significant (p <0.001); the killing activity (%) of the co-culture test groups with various effector-target ratios (40:1, 20:1, 10:1, and 5:1) of the tumor-specific T cell population injection solution was also significantly different from that of the target cell control group, which was statistically significant (p <0.001); and when the effector-target ratio was 40:1 and 20:1, the killing activity reached more than 90%.

[0328] The results showed that the effector-target ratios of tumor-specific T cell population injection had significant killing activity against HCC827 cells, with a clear action time-effect curve. After 72 hours of co-culture, the effector-target ratios of tumor-specific T cell population injection (40:1, 20:1, 10:1, 5:1, 1:1) showed a clear dose-effect curve.

[0332] 2. Study on the in vitro killing of lung cancer cells by injection of sorted and purified tumor-specific T cell population (luciferase method)

[0333] In the present invention, HCC827-Luc-GFP, a lung cancer cell transfected, is oxidized to oxyluciferin in the cell under the catalysis of firefly luciferase. During the oxidation of luciferin, biological fluorescence with a wavelength of about 560 nm is emitted, which can be measured by a chemiluminometer or a microplate reader with a chemiluminescence detection module to detect surviving lung cancer cells. The present invention uses 3 batches of test samples for 3 tests, and the tumor cells are cultured overnight to fully adhere to the wall. The main cell components of the tumor-specific T cell group injection are sorted and purified by immunomagnetic bead cell sorting technology. Different cells after sorting are inoculated in vitro with different effect-target ratios, and the RLU detection of surviving target cells is performed after 64 hours to analyze the killing of tumor cells. There were 5 groups in this study: group 1 (NK cell co-culture test group sorted and purified from tumor-specific T cell population injection), group 2 (CD8+T cell Tc cell co-culture test group sorted and purified from tumor-specific T cell population injection), group 3 (CD4+T cell Th cell co-culture test group sorted and purified from tumor-specific T cell population injection), group 4 (tumor-specific T cell population injection co-culture test group), group 5 (target cell plating 1×10 5 The non-small cell lung cancer line HCC827 carrying the stable Luc gene and the target cell control group without effector cells). Groups 1-4 were further divided into 3 groups according to the amount of effector cells added: (1) E:T 15:1 group (effector cells: tumor cells), (2) E:T 10:1 group (effector cells: tumor cells), and (3) E:T 7.5:1 group (effector cells: tumor cells). There were 13 groups in total.

[0334] Table 15 Fig.16 , Fig.17The results showed that in the in vitro killing test of the injection of the sorted and purified tumor-specific T cell population, at each effector-target ratio (15:1, 10:1, 7.5:1), the killing effect of the NK cell co-culture test group was significantly lower than that of the unsorted test group and was negative, which was statistically significant (p < 0.001); the killing effect of the CD4+T cell co-culture test group decreased with the decrease of the effector-target ratio. When the effector-target ratio was 10:1 and 5:1, it was significantly lower than the killing effect of the unsorted test group, which was statistically significant (P < 0.001); at each effector-target ratio (15:1, 10:1, 7.5:1), the killing effect of the CD8+T cell test group was not statistically significant compared with the unsorted test group (p > 0.05), but its killing activity was slightly lower than that of the unsorted cell group, indicating that the killing effect was played by the entire T cell population (mainly CD8+ and CD4+).

[0335] In the tumor-specific T cell group injection, after immunomagnetic bead sorting, the killing effect of tumor-specific T cell group cells with different surface specificities in the tumor-specific T cell group injection on the non-small cell lung cancer line HCC827 is from high to low: CD8+T cells>CD4+T cells>CD56+ cells. It can be inferred that the effective component of the tumor-specific T cell group injection that has a killing effect on lung cancer cells is the T cell group.

[0339] 3. Study on in vitro killing blocking test of tumor-specific T cell population injection

[0340] Three batches of test products were used for three experiments, using Anti-human HLA-DR, DP, and DQ Antibodies (16 μg / 1.0×10 5 cell) and Anti-human HLA-A, B, C Antibody (18μg / 1.0×10 5The non-small cell lung cancer line HCC827 carrying the stably transfected Luc gene was treated with the cell culture medium and cultured overnight to allow it to fully adhere to the wall. The tumor-specific T cell population was injected with Anti-human TCR a / β Antibody (32μg / 1.0×10 6 After treatment with T cells, the cells were added to the tumor cell culture wells in proportion. After 64 hours, the luciferase method was used to detect the RLU (Relative light unit) of the surviving target cells to analyze the killing of tumor cells, evaluate the blocking effect of the corresponding treatment, and explore the anti-tumor killing mechanism of tumor-specific T cell group injection. The experiment was divided into 4 groups:

[0341] Group 1: Tumor cells co-cultured with HLA-II blocking treatment

[0342] Group 2: Tumor cells co-cultured with HLA-I blocking treatment

[0343] Group 3: Co-culture test group in which tumor cells and tumor-specific T cell population injections were not subjected to blocking treatment

[0344] Group 4: Tumor-specific T cell population injection and TCR-α, β blocking treatment co-culture test group

[0345] 1.5×10 target cells were plated in each group 4 The HCC827 non-small cell lung cancer line carrying a stable Luc gene was further divided into 4 groups according to the amount of effector cells added: (1) E:T 20:1 group (effector cells: tumor cells), (2) E:T 15:1 group (effector cells: tumor cells), (3) E:T 10:1 group (effector cells: tumor cells), and (4) E:T 0:1 group (effector cells: tumor cells, i.e., tumor cell control group). There are 16 groups in total.

[0346] Table 16 Fig.18 , Fig.19 The results showed that in the in vitro killing blocking test of tumor-specific T cell group injection, compared with the unblocked control group, tumor cells treated with HLA-A, B, C and HLA-DR, DP, DQ blocking treatment, and tumor-specific T cell group injection with TCR a / β blocking treatment can significantly increase the fluorescence intensity (p <0.05); reduce the killing of lung cancer cells by tumor-specific T cell group injection (p <0.05), and when the effect-target ratio (15:1, 10:1), the killing activity of target cells treated with HLA-A, B, C blocking treatment was the most significantly reduced (p <0.001). After blocking HLA-I, HLA-II and TCR molecules, the T cell MHC-TCR recognition process in target cells and tumor-specific T cell groups was blocked.

[0347] Tumor-specific T cell population injection can kill lung cancer cells by binding and interacting with MHC-I, MHC-II and TCR-α / β.

[0351] 4. Study on DC cell maturation detection and antigen stimulation effect in the preparation of tumor-specific T cell population injection

[0352] The tumor-specific T cell population injection was prepared using the cryopreserved and resuscitated samples of volunteer PBMC. During the preparation process, DC cell maturity was detected at five time points, including PBMC inoculation, secondary activation, expansion culture, 48h expansion culture, and cryopreservation, to confirm the DC cell maturation in the preparation process of the tumor-specific T cell population injection. Since the monocytes of tumor patients have been exposed to tumor cell antigens in vivo, they can mature into DCs carrying tumor antigens in the culture system and stimulate and activate tumor-specific T lymphocytes. In this experiment, tumor cell lysates prepared from tumor cell lines homologous to target cells and plasma from patients with non-small cell lung cancer were selected to simulate the tumor antigens of patients. Antigen stimulation was added during the expansion culture in the preparation process, and the cell killing effect of the prepared tumor-specific T cell population injection was detected by luciferase method to evaluate the difference in the culture effect of tumor antigens on the tumor-specific T cell population injection. In order to verify the feasibility of the experimental plan and the reliability of the experimental results, the experiment was repeated using the same experimental conditions and two different PBMCs.

[0353] This experiment was divided into 3 major groups: Group 1 (group in which non-patient plasma was added during amplification, i.e., group without tumor antigens), Group 2 (group in which patient plasma was added during amplification, i.e., group with non-homologous tumor antigens), and Group 3 (group in which non-patient plasma and tumor cell line tumor lysate were added during amplification, i.e., group with homologous tumor antigens). When conducting killing experiments, each group was further divided into 3 subgroups according to the effector-target ratio: (1) E:T 20:1 group (effector cells: tumor cells), (2) E:T 10:1 group (effector cells: tumor cells), and (3) E:T 5:1 group (effector cells: tumor cells). In addition, an E:T 0:1 group (target cell control group) was added, for a total of 10 subgroups, with 1.0×10 target cells in each group. 4 A non-small cell lung cancer line HCC827 carrying a stably transfected Luc gene was prepared. Tumor cells were cultured overnight to allow them to fully adhere to the wall. Tumor-specific T cell population injection was added to the tumor cell culture wells according to the effect-target ratio. After 72 hours, the luciferase method was used to detect the RLU (Relative light unit) of surviving target cells to analyze the killing of tumor cells.

[0354] Table 17, Table 18, Fig. 20 , Fig.21 The results showed that in the in vitro killing test of the first and second batches of tumor-specific T cell population injections after stimulation with different antigens, when the effector-target ratio was 20:1, the tumor-specific T cell population injection containing non-homologous tumor antigens, the tumor-specific T cell population injection containing homologous tumor antigens, and the tumor-specific T cell population injection without tumor antigens all showed strong killing activity, and there was no significant difference in killing activity among the groups, which was not statistically significant (p>0.05); when the effector-target ratio was 10:1, the tumor-specific T cell population injection containing non-homologous tumor antigens The killing activity of the tumor-specific T cell group injection containing homologous tumor antigen culture was significantly increased compared with the tumor-specific T cell group injection without tumor antigen culture, which was statistically significant (p<0.01); when the effect-target ratio was 5:1, the tumor-specific T cell group injection co-cultured with homologous tumor antigen cultured group showed significant killing activity, and compared with the killing activity of the tumor-specific T cell group injection co-cultured group without tumor antigen cultured, the killing activity was significantly increased, which was statistically significant (p<0.001). From the results of the in vitro killing test of tumor-specific T cell group injection after stimulation with two batches of different antigens, it can be seen that the killing activity is from high to low: tumor-specific T cell group injection containing homologous tumor antigen cultured>tumor-specific T cell group injection containing non-homologous tumor antigen cultured>tumor-specific T cell group injection without tumor antigen plasma cultured.

[0355] The above results show that the tumor-specific T cell population injection can effectively deliver tumor antigens. In the killing test, the killing effect of the tumor-specific T cell population injection containing homologous tumor antigens was higher than that of the tumor-specific T cell population injection containing non-homologous tumor antigens. The reason may be that the tumor lysate added during the culture process comes from the HCC827 cell line that is homologous to the target cells of the killing test.

[0362] 5. Study on the in vitro T cell reactivity of tumor-specific T cell population injection on primary human non-small cell lung cancer

[0363] The secretion of IFN-γ by autologous tumor cells and the in vitro T cell reactivity of tumor-specific T cell population injection were evaluated by ELISPOT detection and Granzyme B was used to evaluate the in vitro T cell reactivity of tumor-specific T cell population injection. In the present invention, fresh lung adenocarcinoma tumors removed by surgical operation are inoculated subcutaneously on the back of immunodeficient mice for preparing PDX (Patient derived Xenograft) models, and anticoagulated peripheral whole blood is obtained to prepare autologous cell-derived test sample tumor-specific T cell group injection solution. After tissue processing and cell sorting of the PDX model tumor, the tumor-specific T cell group injection solution and the sorted tumor cells are simultaneously added to IFN-γ and Granzyme B ELISPOT plates at effector-target ratios of 16:1, 8:1, 4:1, 2:1, and 1:1. The number of spots of interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and granzyme B (Granzyme B) secreted by the tumor-specific T cell group injection solution stimulated by the autologous PDX model P0 generation tumor cells is detected by enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISPOT) to evaluate the in vitro T cell reactivity of the tumor-specific T cell group injection solution.

[0364] A total of 4 experimental groups were set up, namely, tumor-specific T cell population injection only control, tumor cell only control, culture medium control, and positive stimulation control. Three replicate wells were set for each condition and cultured in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator for 40-44 hours. The plates were washed and developed according to the instructions of the ELISPOT kit. After the ELISPOT plate was dried, the number of positive spots was read using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay analyzer.

[0365] Table 19, Table 20, Fig. 22 , Fig.23 , Fig.24 , Fig.25 The results showed that the release of IFN-γ and Granzyme B increased significantly after the test cell tumor-specific T cell population was co-cultured with autologous tumor cells. At the effector-target ratio of 16:1, 8:1, 4:1, 2:1 and 1:1, the number of co-cultured IFN-γ spots was significantly higher than that of the tumor-specific T cell population only (p<0.05). And as the effector-target ratio decreased, the difference between the two groups became more obvious. Compared with the number of spots of the tumor-specific T cell population only, the multiple of the number of co-cultured IFN-γ spots was between 1.62 and 12.67. At the effector-target ratio of 4:1 and 2:1, the number of co-cultured Granzyme B spots was significantly higher than that of the tumor-specific T cell population only (p<0.05). At the effector-target ratio of 8:1, 4:1, 2:1 and 1:1, compared with the number of spots of the tumor-specific T cell population only, the multiple of the number of co-cultured Granzyme B spots was between 1.66 and 2.03.

[0366] Tumor-specific T cell population injection can release IFN-γ and Granzyme B under the stimulation of autologous tumors, and has a significant response to autologous tumor cells.

[0373] Example 3 In vivo study of tumor-specific T cell population killing tumors

[0374] 1. Pharmacodynamics study of tumor-specific T cell population injection on non-small cell lung cancer (HCC827) tumor-bearing mouse model

[0375] All animals that passed the health examination were inoculated subcutaneously in the right axilla with 0.57×10 7 When the tumor volume grew to an appropriate size, 40 animals with tumor volumes ranging from 50.45 to 126.96 mm3 were randomly divided into 4 groups, with 10 animals in each group, namely, vehicle control group, low-dose tumor-specific T cell population injection group (0.5×10 7 cells / each), medium-dose group (1×10 7 cells / each), high-dose group (2×10 7 cells / animal / time), 0.2 mL / animal of the test or control solution of the corresponding dose was injected into the tail vein on D1, D3, and D5. The first day of administration was designated as D1, and the administration was performed 3 times in total. The tumor volume (mm) of all animals in Groups 1 to 4 was measured twice a week after tumor inoculation. 3) and body weight, and the changes in tumor volume and relative tumor volume of animals in each group during the experiment were recorded. Blood was collected from orbital veins of all animals in Groups 1 to 4 on D7, D14, D21, and D27. After centrifugation at 3000 rpm for 10 min, the upper plasma was used to detect the levels of human cytokines IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL -10, IL-17, TNF-α, and IFN-γ (using CBA (CytometricBeadArray, sample multiple protein quantification technology) kit to detect human cytokines), and the lower blood cells were resuspended in PBS and used for CD45+, CD45+CD3+ cell ratio lymphocyte subset detection (flow cytometer detection). At the end of the experiment, the tumor tissue was removed, photographed, weighed, fixed with neutral formalin, and sent to the client. The relative tumor proliferation rate (T / C, %) and relative tumor inhibition rate (IRTV, %) were calculated and statistically analyzed.

[0376] Table 21-Table 29, Figure 26-Figure 42 The results showed that in the toxicity test of repeated intravenous injection of tumor-specific T cell population injection into NOG tumor-bearing mice (subcutaneously transplanted with human non-small cell lung cancer HCC827) for 1 week and 4 weeks of recovery, the results of histopathological examination after euthanasia of D37 animals showed that metastatic tumor cells (human non-small cell lung cancer HCC827) were infiltrated in the lungs of the tumor-bearing control group animals, while no tumor cell infiltration was observed in any organs of the test sample group, indicating that the test sample has the effect of preventing tumor metastasis.

[0377] Under the conditions of this experiment, the tumor-specific T cell population injection was 0.5×10 7 cells / each~2.0×10 7 cells / mouse / time, and a total of 3 administrations could significantly inhibit the growth and metastasis of tumors in non-small cell lung cancer (HCC827) tumor-bearing mice.

[0403] 2. Verification of the in vivo effect of tumor-specific T cell populations on tumor killing

[0404] 196 NOG mice (98 / sex) were randomly divided into 4 groups according to the animal temporary number and the tumor volume measured before administration. Group 1 used non-tumor-bearing mice (26 / sex / group), and groups 2 to 4 used tumor-bearing mice (human non-small cell lung cancer HCC827, subcutaneously transplanted with human non-small cell lung cancer HCC827 5 days before administration), including 20 / sex / group in group 2, and 26 / sex / group in groups 3 and 4. Group 1 animals were given a solvent control (therapeutic cell cryoprotectant (Genno)) as a non-tumor-bearing control group, group 2 was given a solvent control (therapeutic cell cryoprotectant (Genno)) as a tumor-bearing control group, and group 3 was given 1×10 7 cells / cells of tumor-specific T cell population injection as the low-dose group, and the fourth group was given 3×10 7 The high-dose group was treated with a tumor-specific T cell population injection of cells / animal. The animals were intravenously administered with drugs on D1, D3 and D5. The first 13 animals / sex / group in groups 1, 3 and 4 and the first 10 animals / sex / group in group 2 were used for dissection on D9, and the remaining animals were used for dissection on D37. During the experiment, the animals were subjected to clinical observation, body weight, food intake, tumor volume measurement, blood cell count, blood biochemistry, immune cell phenotype, cytokine, tissue distribution detection, gross dissection, organ weighing and histopathological examination.

[0405] Table 30 Fig.43 , Fig.44The results showed that compared with the same-sex tumor-bearing control group of the same period, the tumor volume of male and female animals in the low- and high-dose groups of the test article began to shrink from D21, and continued until the end of the observation period D35. Among them, the tumor volume of male animals in the high-dose group of the test article at D35 was reduced by 88.1%, and the tumor volume of female animals was reduced by 90.7%. The tumor volume of male animals in the low-dose group of the test article at D35 was reduced by 84.0%, and the tumor volume of female animals was reduced by 92.5%, which is considered to be related to the anti-tumor effect of the test article. Metastatic tumor cells (human non-small cell lung cancer HCC827) infiltration can be seen in the lungs of animals in the tumor-bearing control group; no tumor cell infiltration was found in any organ of the low- and high-dose groups of the test article, which is considered to be related to the anti-tumor effect of the test article. Compared with the tumor-bearing control group, no tumor cell metastasis was found in the animals in the test article group, indicating that the test article has a certain inhibitory effect on tumor cells.

[0406] Tumor-specific T cell population injection at 0.5×10 7 cells / each~2.0×10 7 cells / mouse / time, and a total of 3 administrations within the dosage range can significantly inhibit the growth and metastasis of tumors in non-small cell lung cancer (HCC827) tumor-bearing mice, and show a certain tumoricidal effect.
