Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, specifically relating to a cell cryopreservation solution and its applications. Background Technology

[0002] NK cells, also known as natural killer cells, are important components of the immune system. They can recognize and attack abnormal cells in the body, such as tumor cells and virus-infected cells, without causing graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Due to these unique functions, NK cells have enormous application potential in areas such as cancer immunotherapy and antiviral therapy. With the passage of time, the deepening of medical research, and the development of medical technology, research on NK cell anti-cancer applications has grown exponentially, becoming a major area of ​​innovation in immunotherapy.

[0003] Because the timing of in vitro culture and clinical use cannot be guaranteed to be completely consistent, some patients cannot receive effective treatment in the first instance. Therefore, cryogenic storage is crucial for the clinical application of cell immunotherapy to achieve cross-regional cell transport.

[0004] Based on differences in cryopreservation techniques and methods, cell freezing methods are mainly divided into slow freezing and rapid freezing. Both rapid and slow freezing require cryoprotectants.

[0005] Cryoprotectants are classified into two types: permeable and non-permeable. Both can lower the freezing point and electrolyte concentration of a solution, reducing ice crystal formation. Permeable cryoprotectants are generally small molecules, mainly composed of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), glycerol (GLY), methanol (METH), ethylene glycol (GE), propylene glycol (PG), dimethylformamide (DMF), and dimethylacetamide (DMA). The time it takes for them to penetrate into the cell varies depending on the freezing material and the type of cryoprotectant. Non-permeable cryoprotectants, also known as extracellular protectants, include fructose, sucrose (SUC), trehalose (TRE), honey, and some high molecular weight compounds such as polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), dextran, egg yolk, and albumin. These substances cannot cross the cell membrane; their function is to protect the cell by maintaining cell membrane stability. Non-permeable cryoprotectants increase extracellular osmotic pressure, causing water to rapidly drain from the cells during freezing. This reduces intracellular water content, thereby minimizing ice crystal formation and protecting cells from mechanical damage caused by ice crystals. Furthermore, during cell thawing, the hypertonic concentration of the non-permeable cryoprotectant in the extracellular fluid effectively prevents swelling caused by rapid water ingress, which could disrupt cryopreservation.

[0006] Cell cryopreservation is one of the most critical steps in the storage and transportation of cells during cell immunotherapy. The quality of cryopreservation determines the survival quality and functional state of cells after thawing, thus affecting the efficacy of cell therapy. The composition of different cryopreservation solutions and the resulting osmotic pressure are among the main factors affecting cell viability and function during cryopreservation and thawing. Most FDA-approved CAR-T products are typically cryopreserved using a solution containing 5-10% DMSO, serum, and human serum albumin, followed by thawing in a 37°C water bath. Compared to CAR-T products, NK cells are more sensitive to cryopreservation and thawing than T cells. NK cells are more difficult to cryopreserve in a highly active state (or the thawing effect after cryopreservation is worse), and using conventional cryopreservation solutions makes it difficult to guarantee the viability, yield, and function of NK cells after thawing. Using simple, efficient, and clinically compliant cryopreservation solutions to maintain high activity and cytotoxic effects after cryopreservation and thawing has been one of the main obstacles to the clinical application of NK cells. Summary of the Invention

[0009] Furthermore, the DMSO is USP-grade high-purity dimethyl sulfoxide; the dextran 40 injection is dextran 40 glucose injection; and the human serum albumin is human serum albumin injection with an initial mass concentration of 20%.

[0015] Furthermore, the concentration of the compound electrolyte solution is 2.5% or 5%.

[0016] Furthermore, the cells are NK cells and PBMC cells.

[0017] The term "cell cryopreservation" as used in this application refers to one of the main methods of cell preservation. Cryopreservation technology involves placing cells in low or ultra-low temperatures to preserve their cellular characteristics while temporarily removing them from their growth state, allowing them to be thawed and used when needed. Furthermore, appropriately preserving a certain quantity of cells can prevent the loss of cultured cells due to contamination or other unforeseen events, thus serving the purpose of cell preservation.

[0018] In some implementation schemes, dextran 40 glucose injection is a commonly used plasma substitute, primarily used to treat hypovolemia caused by blood loss, trauma, burns, etc. Dextran 40 is a commonly used blood volume expander, and clinically, the two are often used in combination to treat conditions such as cerebral infarction, soft tissue injuries of bones and joints, refractory ascites due to cirrhosis, and vascular vertigo.

[0019] In some implementations, DMSO is dimethyl sulfoxide, a sulfur-containing organic compound with the molecular formula C2H6OS. It is a colorless, odorless, transparent liquid at room temperature and is a hygroscopic and flammable liquid.

[0020] In some embodiments, the compound electrolyte solution typically contains components such as sodium chloride, sodium gluconate, sodium acetate, potassium chloride, and magnesium chloride.

The cells can be directly isolated from the human body or expanded in vitro. Cells thawed after cryopreservation, such as activated lymphocytes, can be further cultured and expanded or directly reinfused clinically for disease treatment, such as tumor therapy.

[0022] In some embodiments, the concentration of DMSO is 5%, 5.5%, 6%, 6.5%, 7%, 7.5%, 8%, 8.5%, 9%, 9.5%, or 10%.

They are mainly distributed in the bone marrow, peripheral blood, liver, spleen, lungs, and lymph nodes, and can also be induced to differentiate from PBMCs (peripheral blood mononuclear cells).

Figure 1 and Figure 2 (As shown).

[0123]

[0124]

[0125] After thawing, there was no difference in the purity of NK cells in PBMCs from different cryopreservation solutions (as shown in Table 4). Figure 3 (As shown).

[0130]

[0131] The results showed that there was no significant difference in the expansion capacity of PBMCs among the groups at 9 days; however, there were significant differences in expansion capacity at 13 days and 9 days, with JDNK001-1 group > JDNK001-2 group > CS5 group. But there was no significant difference in NK cell purity among the groups (as shown in Tables 5 and 6). Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 (As shown).

[0133]

[0134]

[0135] Seventeen days after culture, cells were collected to evaluate NK cell activity. Firstly, the expression of the NK cell surface activating receptor NKG2D showed no significant change, remaining above 95% (as shown in Table 7). Figure 8 (As shown). Table 7 shows the expression of NKG2D on the surface of NK cells (%NK cells) after 17 days of PBMC amplification culture in different cryopreservation solutions.

[0137] The expression of NK cell surface activating receptor NKp46 was significantly higher in the JDNK001-1 and JDNK001-2 groups than in the CS5 group (as shown in Table 8). Figure 9 (As shown).

[0142]

[0143]

[0144] The above results indicate that, considering the suitability of cryopreservation for PBMCs, the protective effect of CS5 is significantly weaker than that of the JDNK001-1 group and the JDNK001-2 group; the activation and expansion capacity of NK cells after thawing of PBMCs cryopreserved in the JDNK001-1 group is better than that in the JDNK001-2 group.
