[0002] Both CAR-NK therapy and CAR-T therapy belong to cellular immunotherapy technology. At present, CAR-NK cell therapy has shown certain effects in early clinical or preclinical trials of various solid tumors such as pancreatic cancer, colorectal cancer, and lung cancer, which makes CAR-NK therapy expected to fill the gap of CAR-T therapy in the treatment of solid tumors.

[0003] In the actual construction and modification of CAR-NK cells, the design and modification of the extracellular target recognition region (also known as the antigen binding region or antigen recognition region) for different antigens often leads to the non-expression of the chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) due to the complexity of cell expression. Therefore, how to construct targeted CAR-NK cells or CAR-T cells for different antigens and simultaneously express certain cytokines is a hot topic and pain point in current industry research. Each successfully constructed CAR-NK cell or CAR-T cell targeting different antigens has great value and important contributions to further conquering and treating various solid tumors in humans.

[0027] Interleukin 10 (IL-10) is a multifunctional immunomodulatory cytokine. Its role in tumor biology is particularly complex, and it has the dual functions of promoting and inhibiting tumors. Some studies have shown that IL-10 can inhibit tumor growth and metastasis, but IL-10 can also promote tumor growth and immune escape through a variety of mechanisms. Based on the dual functions of IL-10 and promoting and inhibiting tumors, the effect of transforming CAR-NK cells with IL-10 is unpredictable. This application creatively applies IL-10 to CAR-NK or CAR-T cell transformation, and combines interleukin 15 (IL-15) to coordinate dual secretion cytokines, which has unexpected technical effects.

[0105] The results are as follows Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the dual-secretion CAR-NK cell CAR and IL-10 were co-expressed on the surface of NK cells; at the same time, ELISA results showed that 19CAR-IL10-IL15 secreted a large amount of IL-10 and IL-15, while 19CAR-IL15 only secreted IL-15 cytokine, indicating that the dual-secretion CAR-NK structure we constructed can normally express and secrete two cytokines without affecting the expression of CAR; Figure 4 The results showed that after transduction of CAR-NK lentivirus, umbilical cord blood NK cells could still proliferate in large numbers.

[0106] Example 3. In vitro functional verification of dual-secreting CAR-NK cells

[0107] Lymphoma cells Raji (purchased from ATCC) and JeKo-1 (purchased from the Cell Bank of Type Culture Collection of the Chinese Academy of Sciences / Cell Resource Center of Shanghai Institutes for Biological Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences) were used to construct cell lines Raji-CBR-Luc-GFP and JeKo-1-CBR-Luc-GFP (CBR is click beetlered luciferase, a beetle luciferase that can catalyze the excitation of luciferin substrate to the red spectrum; CBR and GFP were simultaneously introduced into Raji and JeKo-1 cells), which co-express luciferase CBR and green fluorescent protein GFP. These cell lines were used as target cells for short-term in vitro killing and degranulation experiments of CAR-NK cells. At the same time, mouse fibroblasts 3T3 (purchased from the Cell Bank of Type Culture Collection of the Chinese Academy of Sciences / Cell Resource Center of Shanghai Institutes for Biological Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences) were used to construct the cell line 3T3-CD19-Luc-GFP overexpressing human CD19 antigen, which was used as target cells for long-term in vitro killing function verification of CAR-NK cells.

[0108] 1. Luciferase-labeled cell killing experiment:

[0109] 1) Target cell plating: Collect tumor cells Raji and JeKo-1 in the logarithmic growth phase, count after centrifugation, and adjust the cell density to 1×10 5 100 μL / well was added to a 96-well U-bottom plate, i.e. 1×10 4 target cells;

[0110] 2) Adjust CAR%: collect 19CAR-IL15 / 19CAR-IL10-IL15 / MOCK cells, detect the CAR% of each CAR-NK by flow cytometry, resuspend the CAR-NK cells in preheated NK culture medium, and adjust the CAR% of each CAR-NK to be consistent with the total number of NKs;

[0111] 3) Effector cell plating: Calculate the number of CAR-NK cells required for plating, resuspend the cells according to the CAR-NK cell concentration required for the highest effect-target ratio (calculate the cell density based on 100 μL per well), and perform gradient dilution plating for the remaining effect-target ratios. At the same time, set up a positive control (K max , with Triton-100) and negative control (K min , with NK medium);

[0112] 4) Gently mix the cell mixture in each well and incubate in an incubator for 4 to 6 hours. Preheat the Luciferin substrate in advance, wash the cells twice with FACS Buffer by centrifugation, add 0.5 mM luciferase substrate, and incubate at 37°C in the dark for 10 minutes; select the chemiluminescence mode on the microplate reader to read the data K;

[0113] 5) Calculate the killing efficiency % = (K min -K) / (K min -K max )×100%.

[0114] The results are as follows Figure 5 As shown, compared with MOCK, CAR-NK cells of 19CAR-IL15 and 19CAR-IL10-IL15 showed significantly enhanced killing function against Raji or JeKo-1 cells expressing CD19 antigen under different effector-target ratios, but there was no significant difference in the killing function between dual-secretion CAR-NK and single-secretion CAR-NK in vitro within a short period of time.

[0115] 2. Long-term real-time in vitro killing experiment (RTCA experiment):

[0116] 1) Take out the E-plate 16 plate (Agilent, catalog number 300600890), preheat the culture medium at 37°C in advance, add 50 μL of culture medium to each well, measure the baseline value, and ensure that the optical density (OD) value of each well is the same;

[0117] 2) Target cell plating: Collect 3T3-CD19-Luc-GFP cells and adjust the cell density to 10,000 cells per well in a volume of 150 μL;

[0118] 3) Add 150 μL of cell suspension to each well of the E-plate 16 plate, let it stand at room temperature for 30 minutes, and then place it in the xCELLigence RTCA instrument to detect the OD value of the cells in real time;

[0119] 4) When the OD value reaches about 1.0, the CAR-NK cells are washed by centrifugation and resuspended in preheated culture medium. After counting, the CAR% is adjusted to be consistent, and the CAR density is adjusted to 1.25×10 4 Pieces / mL;

[0120] 5) Effector cell plating: interrupt the RTCA experiment, take out the E-plate 16 plate, discard the original culture medium, add 200 μL of CAR-NK cells with adjusted density to each well according to the group, and keep the negative control (only target cells);

[0121] 6) Place the E-plate 16 back on the RTCA instrument and continue to detect the OD value to evaluate the specific killing function of CAR-NK cells on target cells.

[0122] The results are as follows Figure 6 As shown in the figure, CAR-NK can significantly kill 3T3 cells expressing CD19 antigen under the condition of 1:4 effector-target ratio; at the same time, it can be seen that in long-term real-time killing, the killing function of dual-secretion CAR-NK is slightly stronger than that of single-secretion CAR-NK.

[0123] 3.CD107a degranulation experiment:

[0124] 1) Target cell plating: Raji and JeKo-1 lymphoma cells in the logarithmic growth phase were collected and counted after centrifugation. 1×10 5 The cells were inoculated into 96-well U-bottom plates, 100 μL per well;

[0125] 2) Adjust CAR%: collect 19CAR-IL15 / 19CAR-IL10-IL15 / MOCK cells, detect the CAR% of each CAR-NK by flow cytometry, resuspend the CAR-NK cells in preheated NK culture medium, and adjust the CAR% of each CAR-NK to be consistent with the total number of NKs;

[0126] 3) Effector cell plating: The cell density of each CAR-NK cell was adjusted according to the effector-target ratio of 1:1 and inoculated into a 96-well U-bottom plate. Protein transport inhibitor (BD, Catalog No. 554724) was added to each well at a total volume of 1:1500, and PE-cy7 anti-hCD107a (BioLegend, Catalog No. 328618) antibody was added at a total volume of 1:200. The cells were mixed and co-cultured with the target cells for 4 to 6 hours. Tumor-free NK cells were kept in each group as a control.

[0127] 4) Wash twice with FACS buffer according to the flow cytometry method, stain with surface marker antibody, add APC anti-FMC63 antibody at a ratio of 1:500 in 100 μL system, and stain for 20 minutes at 4°C in the dark;

[0128] 5) After washing twice with FACS buffer, resuspend the cells in 200 μL FACS buffer, add 1 μL of the dead and alive dye 7AAD-Solution to each sample, and detect on a flow cytometer.

[0129] The results are as follows Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, after CAR-NK cells contact target cells, they undergo a significant CD107a degranulation reaction, and the degranulation of dual-secretion CAR-NK is slightly higher than that of single-secretion CAR-NK.

[0130] Example 4. Mouse transplant tumor model verifies the anti-tumor function of dual-secreting CAR-NK cells in vivo

[0131] The self-constructed luciferase-carrying cells JeKo-1-CBR-Luc-GFP were injected into the tail vein of severely immunodeficient mice (NSG) to prepare CAR-NK cells and intravenously treat tumor-bearing mice (NSG).

[0132] 1) Intravenous tumorigenesis of lymphoma cells: JeKo-1-CBR-Luc-GFP cells in logarithmic growth phase were collected, centrifuged at 400 g for 5 minutes, and the supernatant was discarded. The cells were washed twice with serum-free PBS to ensure that no serum was left.

[0133] 2) Count and resuspend the cells in pre-cooled PBS. Inoculate 1×10 cells per NSG mouse. 4 Tumor cells were collected at a volume of 300 μL per cell and the tumor cell density was adjusted to 3.34×10 4 / mL, prepared for tail vein injection;

[0134] 3) Tumor cells were injected into the tail vein of each mouse at a volume of 300 μL to model the disease, and 2 mice were left untreated as blank controls;

[0135] 4) After 48 hours, the animals were imaged in vivo, and the tumor formation was evaluated based on the imaging results. The animals were randomly grouped as follows:

[0136] (a) MOCK group: injection of normal cord blood NK cells without CAR transduction (5 animals);

[0137] (b) 19CAR-IL15 group: injection of umbilical cord blood NK cells transduced with a single secretory CAR-NK (5 animals);

[0138] (c) 19CAR-IL10-IL15 group: injection of umbilical cord blood NK cells transduced with dual secretory CAR-NK (5 animals);

[0139] (d) Blank group: blank control group, without any treatment (2 animals);

[0140] 5) NK cell tail vein treatment after 72 hours:

[0141] (a) NK cells in the logarithmic growth phase were collected, and CAR% was detected by flow cytometry. The CAR% of 19CAR-IL15, 19CAR-IL10-IL15 and MOCK cells were adjusted to be consistent, and the total number of NK cells was consistent;

[0142] (b) Wash twice with pre-cooled PBS without serum to ensure that there is no serum residue;

[0143] (c) Counting, adjust the CAR density to 1.667×10 using pre-cooled PBS without serum. 6 / mL, prepared for tail vein treatment;

[0144] (d) According to the grouping in step 4), each mouse was injected with corresponding MOCK and CAR-NK cells via tail vein injection at a volume of 300 μL;

[0145] (e) Live imaging of animals was performed twice a week during the first week of intravenous treatment, and then once a week to assess tumor progression;

[0146] 6) Fluorescence curves and survival curves were calculated based on tumor burden and mouse survival.

[0147] The results are as follows Fig. 9 , Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown in the figure, with the increase of tumor load time, the tumor load in the MOCK group increased sharply, and the tumors in the 19CAR-IL15 group and the 19CAR-IL10-IL15 group were almost completely cleared, and the tumor load did not increase; at the same time, the death of NSG mice occurred first in the 19CAR-IL15 group, followed by a large number of NSG deaths in the MOCK and 19CAR-IL15 groups, and one death occurred in the 19CAR-IL10-IL15 group one month later ("X" indicates death); from the fluorescence curve graph of NSG mice, it can be seen that the effects of both CAR-NK cells in the treatment of lymphoma in vivo are significant, but the dual-secretory CAR-NK greatly improves the survival rate of NSG mice and improves the safety of CAR-NK cell therapy. Comprehensive evaluation shows that the dual-secretory CAR-NK has the best effect in the treatment of tumors in vivo.

[0148] Example 5. Distribution of CAR-NK cells in mice

[0149] The NSG mice in Example 4 were dissected to analyze the distribution of CAR-NK cells in the animals.

[0150] 1) On the 49th day of treatment of NSG mice in Example 4, the surviving mice were brought back to the laboratory for autopsy, and all the surviving mice in the 19CAR-IL1 5 group died;

[0151] 2) Anatomy: After collecting peripheral blood from the animals in the B1ank / MOCK / 19CAR-IL10-IL15 group, the animals were killed by cervical dislocation, and the spleen and bone marrow of the mice were obtained by dissection, and the corresponding cells were obtained by grinding and filtering;

[0152] 3) Wash twice with FACS buffer according to the flow staining method, stain with surface marker antibodies, add APC anti-FMC63 at a ratio of 1:500 in 50 μL, add PE-cy7 anti-hCD56 (BioLegend, Catalog No. 304628) at a ratio of 1:200 in 50 μL, and add Pacific Blue anti-hCD45 (BioLegend, Catalog No. 304029) at a ratio of 1:200 in 50 μL, and stain for 20 minutes at 4°C in the dark;

[0153] 4) After washing twice with FACS buffer, resuspend the cells in 200 μL FACS buffer, add 1 μL of the dead and alive dye 7AAD-Solution to each sample, and detect on a flow cytometer.

[0154] The results are as follows Fig.12 , Fig.13 and Fig.14 As shown, on the 49th day, a large amount of 19CAR-IL10-IL15 was still present in the peripheral blood, spleen, and bone marrow of NSG mice, indicating that dual-secretionary CAR-NK cells can survive in the animal body for at least 45 days and achieve long-term therapeutic effects.

[0244] Example 10. In vitro functional verification of dual-secreting CAR-T cells

[0245] Lymphoma cells Raji (purchased from ATCC) and JeKo-1 (purchased from the Cell Bank of Type Culture Collection of the Chinese Academy of Sciences / Cell Resource Center of Shanghai Institutes for Biological Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences) were used to construct cell lines Raji-CBR-GFP and JeKo-1-CBR-GFP (CBR is click beetle redluciferase, a beetle luciferase that can catalyze the excitation of luciferin substrate to the red spectrum; CBR and GFP were simultaneously introduced into Ra" and JeKo-1 cells) that co-express luciferase CBR and green fluorescent protein GFP. These cell lines were used as target cells for CAR-T cell in vitro killing, degranulation experiments, and IFN-γ / TNF-α cytokine secretion experiments; at the same time, mouse fibroblasts 3T3 (purchased from the Cell Bank of Type Culture Collection of the Chinese Academy of Sciences / Cell Resource Center of Shanghai Institutes for Biological Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences) were used to construct the cell line 3T3-CD19 that overexpressed the human CD19 antigen, and these cell lines were used as target cells for long-term real-time in vitro killing function monitoring of CAR-T cells.

[0246] 1. Luciferase-labeled cell killing assay

[0247] 1) Target cell plating: Collect tumor cells Raji and JeKo-1 in the logarithmic growth phase, count after centrifugation, and adjust the cell density to 1×10 5 / mL, and inoculated into 96-well U-bottom plates at 100 μL / well, i.e., 1×10 4 target cells;

[0248] 2) Adjust CAR%: Collect 19CAR-IL15 / 19CAR-IL10-IL15 / MOCK cells, detect the CAR% of each CAR-T by flow cytometry, preheat T cell culture medium to resuspend CAR-T cells, and adjust the CAR% of each CAR-T to be consistent with the total number of T cells; 3) Effector cell plating: Calculate the number of CAR-T cells required for plating, resuspend the cells according to the CAR-T cell concentration required for the highest efficiency-target ratio (calculate the cell density according to 100 μL per well), and perform gradient dilution plating for the remaining effect-target ratios, and set up a positive control (K max , with Triton-100) and negative control (K min , using T cell culture medium)

[0249] 4) Gently mix the cell mixture in each well and incubate in an incubator for 4-6 hours. Preheat the Luciferin substrate in advance, wash the cells twice with FACS Buffer by centrifugation, add 0.5mM luciferase substrate, and incubate at 37°C in the dark for 10 minutes. Select the chemiluminescence mode on the microplate reader to read the data K;

[0250] 5) Calculate the killing efficiency % = (Kmin -K) / (K min -K max )×100%.

[0251] The results are as follows Fig.21 As shown in the figure, compared with MOCK, 19CAR-IL15 and 19CAR-IL10-IL15 CAR-T cells showed significantly enhanced killing function against Raji or JeKo-1 cells expressing CD19 antigen under different effector-target ratio conditions. At the same time, the in vitro killing function of dual-secretion CAR-T cells was stronger than that of single-secretion CAR-T cells, with significant differences. 2. Long-term real-time in vitro killing experiment (RTCA experiment)

[0252] 1) Take out the E-plate 16 plate (Agilent, catalog number 300600890), preheat the culture medium at 37°C in advance, add 50 μL of culture medium to each well, measure the baseline value, and ensure that the optical density (OD) value of each well is the same;

[0253] 2) Target cell plating: Collect 3T3-CD19 cells and adjust the cell density to 10,000 cells per well in a volume of 150 μL;

[0254] 3) Add 150 μL of cell suspension to each well of the E-plate 16 plate, let it stand at room temperature for 30 minutes, and then place it in the xCELLigence RTCA instrument to detect the OD value of the cells in real time;

[0255] 4) When the OD value reaches about 1.0, the CAR-T cells are centrifuged and washed, and then resuspended in preheated T cell culture medium. After counting, the CAR% is adjusted to be consistent, and the CAR density is adjusted to 1.667×10 4 / mL;

[0256] 5) Effector cell plating: interrupt the RTCA experiment, take out the E-plate 16 plate, discard the original culture medium, add 200 μL of CAR-T cells with adjusted density to each well according to the group, and keep the negative control (only target cells);

[0257] 6) Place the E-plate 16 back on the RTCA instrument and continue to detect the OD value to evaluate the specific killing function of CAR-T cells on target cells.

[0258] The results are as follows Fig. 22 As shown in the figure, CAR-T cells can significantly kill 3T3 cells expressing CD19 antigen under the condition of 1:3 effector-target ratio; at the same time, it can be seen that in long-term real-time killing, the killing function of dual-secretionary CAR-T cells is stronger than that of single-secretionary CAR-T cells, and they can quickly kill target cells in a short time, and the killing advantage exists for a long time.

[0259] Example 11. Mouse transplant tumor model verifies the anti-tumor function of dual-secreting CAR-T cells in vivo

[0261] 1) Intravenous tumorigenesis of lymphoma cells

[0262] (a) Cell collection: JeKo-1-CBR-GFP cells in logarithmic growth phase were collected, centrifuged at 400 g for 5 min, supernatant discarded, and washed twice with serum-free PBS to ensure that no serum remained;

[0263] (b) Adjust the cell density: resuspend the cells in pre-cooled PBS and count them. Inoculate 1×10 cells per NSG mouse. 4 Tumor cells were collected at a volume of 300 μL per cell and the tumor cell density was adjusted to 3.34×10 4 / mL, prepared for tail vein injection;

[0264] (c) Tumor cells were injected into the tail vein of each mouse at a volume of 300 μL to model the tumor, and 2 mice were left untreated as blank controls.

[0265] 2) Animal in vivo imaging grouping: Animal in vivo imaging was performed 48 hours after intravenous tumor formation. The tumor formation was evaluated based on the imaging results and the animals were randomly grouped. The specific groups are as follows:

[0266] (a) MOCK group: injection of common T cells without CAR transduction (6 animals);

[0267] (b) 19CAR-IL15 group: injection of single secretory CAR-T cells (6 animals);

[0268] (c) 19CAR-IL10-IL15 group: injection of dual-secreting CAR-T cells (6 animals);

[0269] (d) Blank group: blank control group, without any treatment (2 animals);

[0270] 3) CAR-T cell tail vein treatment 72 hours after intravenous tumor formation

[0271] (a) CAR-T cells in the logarithmic growth phase were collected, and CAR% was detected by flow cytometry. The CAR% of 19CAR-IL15, 19CAR-IL10-IL15 and MOCK cells were adjusted to be consistent, and the total number of T cells was consistent;

[0272] (b) Wash twice with pre-cooled PBS without serum to ensure that there is no serum residue;

[0273] (c) Resuspend the CAR-T cells in pre-cooled PBS without serum and count them. The CAR density is adjusted to 3.34×10 5 / mL, prepared for tail vein treatment;

[0274] (d) According to the grouping in step 2), each mouse was injected with the corresponding MOCK and CAR-T cells via the tail vein in a volume of 300 μL;

[0275] (e) Live imaging of animals was performed twice a week during the first week of intravenous treatment, and then once a week to assess tumor progression;

[0276] 4) Fluorescence curves and survival curves were calculated based on tumor burden and mouse survival.

[0277] The results are as follows Fig.23 As shown in the figure, with the increase of tumor load time, the tumor load in the MOCK group increased sharply; in the early stage, the tumor load in the 19CAR-IL15 group and 19CAR-IL10-IL15 group increased in a short period of time and then was almost completely cleared, and the tumor load did not increase significantly; after one week of treatment, the tumor load in the single secretory CAR-T cell group increased significantly, and the tumor load in the dual secretory CAR-T group did not increase, and the two groups had the same degree of animal death; from the fluorescence curve of NSG mice, it can be seen that the therapeutic effect of dual secretory CAR-T is significantly stronger than that of single secretory CAR-T cells.
