Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of biotechnology and cell therapy, in particular to a recombinant construct, CAR-NK cell and application. BACKGROUND
[0002] CAR-NK (chimeric antigen receptor natural killer) cell therapy has become a research hotspot in the field of tumor immunotherapy in recent years. Compared with CAR-T, CAR-NK not only retains the innate recognition and killing ability of NK cells to tumors, but also is endowed with precise targeting ability through genetic engineering, can eliminate tumor cells expressing and not expressing target antigens, and has lower side effects, such as significantly reduced incidence of cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). At present, CAR-NK clinical research for hematological malignancies (such as CD19 target lymphoma, leukemia, etc.) shows considerable efficacy, with a complete remission rate of 25% to 83% and good safety.
[0003] Interleukin 10 (IL-10) is an important immunoregulatory cytokine and shows a "double-edged sword" effect in the process of tumor occurrence and development. On the one hand, IL-10 can weaken the body's immune response to tumor cells by inhibiting the antigen presentation ability of dendritic cells and macrophages, reducing the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines (such as TNF-α, IL-6, etc.), and promoting the immune escape of tumor cells and the immunosuppressive state of tumor microenvironment. On the other hand, studies have shown that high-dose IL-10 can enhance the survival, expansion and cytotoxicity of CD8-positive T lymphocytes, promote their killing of tumor cells, and improve the efficacy of immunotherapy. Some new IL-10 fusion proteins and pegylated IL-10 drugs have shown anti-tumor potential in various solid tumor models and clinical studies. Therefore, IL-10 targeting strategies need to be finely regulated according to tumor types and microenvironments to exert both anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects and activate their role in promoting anti-tumor immunity.
[0004] At present, whether it is a hematological tumor or a solid tumor, a number of clinical trials have been carried out in full swing, but challenges such as insufficient activation, increased treatment resistance, and immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment still exist. SUMMARY
[0005] Based on the dual function of IL-10 in promoting and inhibiting tumors, the effect of modifying CAR-NK cells with IL-10 cannot be predicted, and the present application creatively applies IL-10 to the modification of CAR-NK cells, which has unexpected technical effects.
[0006] The present application aims to provide a recombinant construct, CAR-NK cell and application to solve the problems raised in the background art.
[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0008] A recombinant construct that simultaneously encodes IL-10 and CAR, fragments or variants thereof, wherein the antigen of the CAR is CD19.

[0017] Preferably, the malignant tumor is any one of gastric adenocarcinoma, B-cell malignant tumor, or myeloma.
[0018] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects achieved by this invention are: based on the antigen target CD19, targeting CD19 CAR-NK primarily eliminates B cells, making it applicable to the treatment of B-cell malignancies, such as B-cell leukemia and lymphoma, or autoantibody-related autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus. It secretes a cytokine, enhancing the long-term therapeutic effect of immune cells while reducing treatment risks. Attached Figure Description

[0109] 1) Whole body tumor formation of lymphoma cells: Collect log phase Raji-CBR-Luc-GFP cells, 400g, 5min centrifugation, discard supernatant, wash twice with PBS, ensure no serum residue;
[0110] 2) Count, resuspend cells with pre-cooled PBS, 8x10 4 tumor cells per NSG mouse, volume 200μL / mouse, adjust tumor cell density to 4x10 5 μL / mouse, tail vein injection;
[0111] 3) Small animal live imaging 48h later, evaluate tumor formation according to imaging results and randomly group, specific grouping as follows:
[0112] (a) NK group: injection of normal umbilical cord blood NK cells without transduction of CAR (4 animals);
[0113] (b) CD19 CAR-NK-IL10 group: injection of umbilical cord blood NK cells transduced with CD19 CAR-IL10 (4 animals);
[0114] 4) NK cell tail vein treatment 72h later (a) collect log phase CAR-NK / NK cells, take the same total number of CD19 CAR-NK-IL10 and NK cells; (b) wash twice with pre-cooled PBS without serum, ensure no serum residue;
[0115] (c) count, adjust cell density to 1.2x10 7 / mL with pre-cooled PBS without serum, prepare for tail vein treatment;
[0116] (d) according to the grouping in step 4), inject corresponding CD19 CAR-NK-IL10 and NK cells into each mouse with a volume of 200μL tail vein;
[0117] (e) live animal imaging twice a week in the first week of intravenous treatment, and then live animal imaging once a week, evaluate tumor progression;
[0118] 6) According to tumor load and mouse survival, statistics fluorescence curve and survival curve.
[0119] Results are shown in Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, with the increase of tumor load time, the tumor load of NK group increased sharply, the tumor load of CD19 CAR-NK-IL10 group was obviously inhibited, and increased slowly after one week; the CD19 CAR-NK-IL-10 group began to die after 25 days of treatment ("X" represents death); it can be seen from the fluorescence curve of NSG mice that the CD19 CAR-NK-IL10 cells have a significant effect on treating lymphoma in vivo; from the survival graph of NSG mice, CD19 CAR-NK-IL10 cells can significantly prolong the survival time of mice.
[0120] Example 5. Transcriptome sequencing analysis of CD19 CAR-NK cells expressing IL-10
[0121] After co-incubation of CD19 CAR-NK-IL10 / NK cells with Raji-CBR-Luc-GFP cells carrying luciferase for 24 hours at an effector to target ratio of 2:1, transcriptome sequencing analysis was performed.
[0122] 1. Antigen stimulation of CD19 CAR-NK-IL10 / NK cells
[0123] 1) Target cell plating: Collect lymphoma cells Raji-CBR-Luc-GFP in logarithmic growth phase, wash twice with PBS, count, take 2x10 5 tumor cells, resuspend in 100 μL volume with X-VIVO medium and add to a 12-well plate;
[0124] 2) Effector cell plating: Collect 1x10 6 CD19 CAR-NK-IL10 / NK cells, resuspend in 1 ml with X-VIVO medium and add to a 12-well plate;
[0125] 3) After gently mixing the cells in each well, incubate in a 37°C incubator for 24 hours, then wash the cell mixture twice with serum-free PBS;
[0126] 4) As much as possible to absorb the residual PBS, then use liquid nitrogen to quickly freeze the cell mixture into a lump and store at -80°C.
[0127] 2. RNA extraction
[0128] 1) Take the cell lump and extract total RNA using the Trizol method, measure the A260 / A280 ratio using a spectrophotometer to evaluate purity;
[0129] 3. Detect RNA integrity (RIN value) using Agilent Bioanalyzer 2100 and measure RNA concentration using Qubit to screen qualified samples for library construction and sequencing.
[0130] 1) With total RNA as input, specific molecular tags (Unique Molecular Identifier, UMI) are used to label cDNA molecules to correct biases and errors in PCR amplification and sequencing;
[0131] 2) Enrichment of 200-500 bp fragment PCR products, after quantification, paired-end 150bp (PE150) sequencing was performed on the DNBSEQ-T7 (Huada) platform.
[0132] 4. Flow cytometry detection of mitochondrial membrane potential
[0133] 1) Plating: Collect lymphoma cells Raji and CD19 CAR-NK-IL10 / NK cells in the logarithmic growth phase, count after centrifugation, adjust the cell density according to the effector target ratio of 2:1 and inoculate into 96-well U-bottom plates, mix with target cells and co-culture for 24 hours, and leave NK cells without tumors as controls for each group;
[0134] 2) According to the method of flow cytometry staining, wash twice with FACS buffer, stain surface marker antibodies, add APC anti-FMC63 at 1:500 in 50μL system and FITC-anti-CD56 (Biolegend, Cat. No. 304603) at 1:200 in 50μL system, add antibodies, avoid light, stain at 4°C for 20 minutes;
[0135] 4) After washing twice with FACS buffer, resuspend the cells with 200μL FACS buffer, add 1μL dead and live dye 7AAD-Solution per sample, and detect on the flow cytometer.
[0136] The results are shown in the figure, Figure 12 The principal component analysis chart shows that there are significant differences in the overall gene expression profile after incubation of CD19 CAR-NK-IL10 / NK cells with Raji; Figure 13 The volcano plot of differential genes shows that the expression of immune-related differential genes (IL21R, CXCL8, CCR7, etc.) of CD19 CAR-NK-IL10 cells is up-regulated; Figure 14 The bubble chart of KEGG functional enrichment analysis of differential genes shows that the differential genes are significantly enriched in immune-related functions such as "immune response", "T cell receptor signaling pathway", "cytokine-mediated signaling pathway", etc., suggesting that IL-10 expression affects multiple immune pathways regulated by CD19 CAR-NK-IL10 cells in the tumor microenvironment; Figure 15GSEA enrichment analysis curve showed that the mitochondria translation related function was significantly enhanced after CD19CAR-NK-IL10 cells expressing IL-10 were co-incubated with Raji, suggesting that energy metabolism and mitochondrial function might play an important role in regulating immune effect. Figure 16 The heat map results of differentially expressed mitochondria related genes suggested that IL-10 expression significantly affected the expression of mitochondrial function related genes of CD19CAR-NK-IL10 cells, which might be related to its enhanced anti-tumor effect. Figure 17 The results of flow cytometry detection showed that the mitochondrial membrane potential of CD19 CAR-NK-IL10 group cells was higher, indicating that the energy metabolism of CD19 CAR-NK-IL10 cells was in a more active state.
