Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of biomedicine, and specifically discloses a method for constructing an hHer2 gene humanized mouse EMT-6 tumor cell line animal model and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] HER2 receptor (also known as c-erbB-2, HER2 / neu) is a transmembrane protein with a molecular weight of 185kD and tyrosine kinase activity. Its encoding gene is located on human chromosome 17q21 and is a member of the epidermal growth factor receptor family. Overexpression of the HER2 gene can lead to excessive cell proliferation and phenotypic malignant transformation. Studies have found that 30% of breast cancer patients have overexpression of the HER2 gene. These patients have high tumor malignancy, early recurrence and metastasis, poor prognosis, and resistance to certain chemotherapy drugs. It has also been found that overexpression of the HER2 gene is associated with the patient's disease-free survival and overall survival. Using tumor biomarkers as important predictors of tumor treatment response is one of the main purposes of tumor biology research.

[0003] HER2 is a member of the HER receptor family and is overexpressed in a variety of cancers, including bladder cancer, breast cancer, cervical cancer, colorectal cancer, endometrial cancer, esophageal cancer, liver cancer, lung cancer, ovarian cancer, and salivary gland cancer [1]. The complete HER2 protein consists of three functional regions: (1) an extracellular end (ECD) that can bind to HER2 family members; (2) a lipophilic transmembrane segment; and (3) an intracellular end with tyrosine kinase activity. Previous studies have shown that HER2 gene amplification and overexpression are present in 15%-20% of breast cancer patients [2]. In addition, a large amount of evidence shows that HER2 is overexpressed in breast cancer patients, and that patients with HER2 overexpression have a poor prognosis, including resistance to chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and radiotherapy. It is also found that patients have a high probability of metastasis and recurrence. Currently, HER2 overexpression is considered an independent prognostic factor for breast cancer, and HER2 expression levels have been used as an independent indicator for evaluating tumor biological behavior. HER2 is also considered an important therapeutic target for the treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer [3].

[0004] Treatments for breast cancer include surgery, hormone receptor endocrine therapy, radiotherapy, molecular targeted therapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy. Currently, surgical resection is still the main treatment method [4], among which targeted therapy has gradually become a hot research field. Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer refers to ERBB2 / neu proto-oncogene amplification or HER2 transmembrane receptor protein overexpression, which accounts for 15% to 20% of the five molecular types of breast cancer [5]. Compared with other types of breast cancer, HER2-positive breast cancer is a special subtype of breast cancer that is more aggressive, prone to early recurrence and metastasis, and has a poor prognosis [6-7]. Among Chinese breast cancer patients, 2-3 out of every 10 are HER2-positive [8].

[0005] Currently, HER2 overexpression is considered an independent prognostic factor for breast cancer, and HER2 expression levels have been used as an independent indicator for evaluating tumor biological behavior. HER2 is also considered an important therapeutic target for the treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer [9]. In recent years, molecular targeted therapy for HER2 breast cancer has made rapid progress and has become one of the effective treatments for breast cancer.

[0006] Due to the rapid development of immunotherapy in recent years, more and more studies have focused on the combined immune and targeted therapy of hHer2. The main purpose of this study is to construct a mouse tumor model that has a complete immune system and can perform hHer2 targeted therapy, which can be used for the pharmacodynamic evaluation of hHer2 immune and targeted combined therapy. Syngenic tumor transplantation model is a type of mouse tumor model that can be used for immune drug efficacy evaluation, and it is also the earliest animal model used for the study of immune drugs. However, it has no human drug targets, and cannot conduct research on humanized targeted drugs, and thus cannot conduct research on immune and targeted combined therapy.

Most of the existing tumor models are constructed by inoculating human tumor cells with immunodeficient mice.

In addition, there is a class of immune reconstruction mouse tumor models, such as PBMC (Peripheral blood mononuclear cell) immune reconstruction mouse tumor model and CD34+ immune reconstruction mouse model. Such models can only reconstruct the immune function of T cells, and cannot fully reflect the response of the immune system to immune drugs, and these models are very difficult to model and costly. The tumor model established by the present invention has a complete immune system and a human hHer2 target, and can be used for testing hHer2 targeted drugs, and can be used for the pharmacodynamic evaluation study of immune and targeted combined therapy of hHer2 targets.
