Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of biomedicine, and specifically relates to a method for transforming fibroblasts and an application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Fibroblasts are multifunctional cells that play an important role in the normal physiological processes of tissues and organs, especially in immune diseases and tumor microenvironments. Fibroblasts regulate immune responses, tumor cell growth, invasion and metastasis by secreting immunomodulatory factors and extracellular matrix components. Especially in tumor-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), they play a key role in supporting tumor stroma, regulating tumor immunity and angiogenesis. Studies have shown that tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) are important areas for the aggregation of immune cells in tumors, which can recognize tumor antigens presented by antigen-presenting cells (APCs) and produce effector T cells, memory B cells and plasma cells. These cells promote tumor cell apoptosis through antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP) mechanisms, thereby reducing tumor burden. Effectively inducing the activation of B cells in TLS in tumor tissues into plasma cells is of great significance for enhancing anti-tumor immune responses.
[0003] Studies have shown that tumor-associated fibroblasts and B cells exist in the tertiary lymphoid structure area, and the two are closely related in spatial distribution. Using or modifying fibroblasts to stimulate B cell activation and enhance their antibody secretion function, and obtaining relevant antibodies for tumor treatment will be of great significance for promoting anti-tumor immune response and improving patient survival rate. This strategy is not only expected to enhance tumor immune response, but also may provide new methods and ideas for tumor treatment. Summary of the invention

[0067] Example 4
[0068] VCAM1 + CXCL13 + TNFSF13B + The specific steps of MRC-5-induced B cell chemotaxis are as follows:
[0069] (1) The B cells obtained in Example 2 were washed once with RPMI1640 medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum, and cultured with conditioned medium of RPMI 1640 containing 10% fetal bovine serum, CpG (1 μg / ml), and anti-IgM (1 μg / ml) to activate the B cells. After 48 hours, a B cell chemotaxis assay was performed;
[0070] (2) 2×10 5 The MRC-5 cells obtained in Example 3 were resuspended in RPMI 1640 medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum at a density of cells / ml;
[0071] (3) 700 μl of MRC-5 cell suspension was added to a 24-well plate. After culturing for 24 hours, the cell supernatant was collected and centrifuged to obtain 600 μl of the supernatant, which was then added to the lower chamber of the transwell chamber.
[0072] (4) One hour before the chemotaxis assay, neutralizing antibodies against human CXCL13 were added to the culture medium in the lower chamber with or without 4 μg / ml;
[0073] (5) The B cells activated for 48 hours were collected and 1×10 7 Resuspend the cells in RPMI 1640 medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum at a density of 10 cells / ml, and add 100 μl of the cell suspension to the upper chamber of the transwell chamber;
[0074] (6) After culturing for 2 hours in a cell culture incubator at 37°C and 5% CO2, the B cells that migrated to the lower chamber of the transwell chamber were counted and divided by the total number of B cells to calculate the percentage of B cell migration.
[0075] Figure 2 showed that CXCL13 is involved in VCAM1 - CXCL13 - TNFSF13B - MRC-5 cells (control group) and VCAM1+ CXCL13 + TNFSF13B + Relative mRNA levels in MRC-5 cells (overexpression group) (left panel; n=3). The bar graph shows the migration ability of B cells and MRC-5 under different co-culture conditions (right panel; n=8). B cells and VCAM1 - CXCL13 - TNFSF13B - MRC-5, VCAM1 + CXCL13 + TNFSF13B + MRC-5 or VCAM1 + CXCL13 + TNFSF13B + MRC-5 fibroblasts were co-cultured with CXCL13-specific neutralizing antibodies.
[0076] like Figure 2 As shown, compared with the control group, VCAM1 + CXCL13 + TNFSF13B + MRC-5 (overexpression group) significantly enhanced the ability of B cells to chemotaxis toward MRC-5, while the use of CXCL13 neutralizing antibody weakened the ability of VCAM1 + CXCL13 + TNFSF13B + MRC-5 enhances B cell chemotaxis, indicating that VCAM1 + CXCL13 + TNFSF13B + MRC-5 has the function of promoting the chemotaxis of B cells to fibroblasts.
[0077] Example 5
[0078] VCAM1 + CXCL13 + TNFSF13B + The technique of MRC-5 inducing B cell adhesion is as follows:
[0079] (1) One day in advance, the MRC-5 cells obtained in Example 3 were cultured at 1×10 4 Cells / well were plated in 96-well plates, and the medium containing or not containing 30 μg / ml neutralizing antibody against VCAM1 was replaced 1 hour before the adhesion assay;
[0080] (2) 6×10 4The B cells obtained in Example 2 were resuspended in RPMI 1640 medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum at a density of cells / 100 μl;
[0081] (3) Aspirate and discard the MRC-5 cell culture medium, add 100 μl of B cell suspension, and culture in a 37° C., 5% CO 2 incubator for half an hour.
[0082] (4) Remove the cells, tap the cell culture plate twice, then remove the culture medium and non-adherent B cells, add 100 μl of diluted CCK8 solution to each well, culture for 2 hours at 37°C and 5% CO2, and then measure the OD value at 450 nm. In order to exclude the difference in OD values caused by the difference in the number of MRC-5 cells, the OD value generated by B cells is equal to the OD value of MRC-5 and B cell co-culture minus the OD value of MRC-5 cultured alone.
[0083] Figure 3 Schematic diagram of B cell adhesion experiment (left). The middle bar graph shows VCAM1 in VCAM1 - CXCL13 - TNFSF13B - MRC-5 cells (control group) and VCAM1 + CXCL13 + TNFSF13B + Relative mRNA levels in MRC-5 cells (overexpression group) (middle graph; n = 3), and the bar graph on the right shows the adhesion ability of B cells to MRC-5 (right graph; n = 3). - CXCL13 - TNFSF13B - MRC-5, VCAM1 + CXCL13 + TNFSF13B + MRC-5 or VCAM1 + CXCL13 + TNFSF13B + MRC-5 was co-cultured with VCAM1 neutralizing antibody. The relative number of B cells bound to MRC-5 was quantitatively determined by CCK8 method (OD value).
[0084] like Figure 3 As shown, compared with the control group, VCAM1 + CXCL13 + TNFSF13B + MRC-5 (overexpression group) can bind to more B cells, while the use of VCAM1 neutralizing antibody reduces VCAM1 + CXCL13 + TNFSF13B+ Binding of MRC-5 to B cells indicates that VCAM1 + CXCL13 + TNFSF13B + MRC-5 can enhance the ability of B cells to adhere to fibroblasts MRC-5.
[0085] Example 6
[0086] VCAM1 + CXCL13 + TNFSF13B + The specific steps of MRC-5 stimulating B cell antibody IgG secretion are as follows:
[0087] (1) One day in advance, the MRC-5 cells obtained in Example 3 were plated on a 96-well plate at a density of 3000 cells / well and allowed to adhere completely.
[0088] (2) The B cells obtained in Example 2 were washed once with RPMI 1640 medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum; 3×10 5 B cells were resuspended in conditioned medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum and CpG (1 μg / ml) at a density of 10 cells / ml; in order to neutralize TNFSF13B, 20 μg / ml of anti-human TNFSF13B neutralizing antibody was added to the medium, and 200 μl of the B cell suspension was added to the above-mentioned fibroblast MRC-5 for co-culture;
[0089] (3) On the third day of co-culture, carefully collect 100 μl of cell supernatant without touching the cells, and add 100 μl of RPMI1640 conditioned medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum and CpG (1 μg / ml) for re-culture. In the neutralization group, 20 μg / ml of anti-human TNFSF13B neutralizing antibody was still added;
[0090] (4) On day 6, collect the cell supernatant and centrifuge at 500 g for 10 min at room temperature, then reduce the speed to 4.
[0091] (5) Take the supernatant and detect IgG by ELISA.
[0092] Figure 4 Schematic diagram of B cell co-culture experiment (left). The middle bar graph shows the expression of TNFSF13B in VCAM1 - CXCL13 - TNFSF13B - MRC-5 cells (control group) and VCAM1 + CXCL13 + TNFSF13B +Relative mRNA levels in MRC-5 cells (overexpression group) (middle graph; n=3). The right bar graph shows the expression of VCAM1 in B cells. - CXCL13 - TNFSF13B - MRC-5, VCAM1 + CXCL13 + TNFSF13B + MRC-5 or VCAM1 + CXCL13 + TNFSF13B + IgG produced by co-culture of MRC-5 and TNFSF13B-specific neutralizing antibody (right panel; n=3). ELISA was used to detect the IgG level in the supernatant.
[0093] like Figure 4 As shown, compared with the control group, VCAM1 + CXCL13 + TNFSF13B + MRC-5 (overexpression group) significantly promoted B cell secretion of IgG antibodies, while the use of TNFSF13B neutralizing antibody weakened the VCAM1 + CXCL13 + TNFSF13B + MRC-5 promotes IgG secretion in B cells, indicating that VCAM1 + CXCL13 + TNFSF13B + MRC-5 has the ability to promote antibody secretion by B cells.
[0094] In summary, by overexpressing VCAM1, CXCL13 and TNFSF13B in fibroblasts, the ability of fibroblasts to chemotaxis, adhesion and antibody secretion of B cells can be significantly enhanced, thereby achieving an anti-tumor effect and ultimately improving the prognosis of patients.
