[0031] Terminology: Macrophages, abbreviated as Mø, are a type of white blood cell found in tissues that develop from monocytes, which in turn develop from precursor cells in the bone marrow. Both macrophages and monocytes are phagocytes and participate in both nonspecific (innate) and specific (cell-mediated) immunity in vertebrates. Their main function is to engulf and digest cellular debris and pathogens, acting in either a fixed or free state, and to activate lymphocytes and other immune cells to respond to pathogens.

[0032] Macrophage polarization: Macrophages are an important part of the innate immune system and play a central role in inflammation and host defense. In response to various environmental factors (e.g., microbial products, damaged cells, activated lymphocytes) or under different pathophysiological conditions, macrophages transform into different functional phenotypes, i.e., classically activated macrophages (M1) and alternatively activated macrophages (M2). Mature macrophages undergo phenotypic and morphological differentiation under various factors, i.e., the polarization of macrophages. According to the different responses to environmental stimuli, macrophages are mainly activated into two phenotypes, M1 and M2. M1 is activated by signals such as IFN-γ and LPS, mainly has the effects of anti-tumor and enhancing immunity, can secrete inflammatory factors, chemotactic factors, effector molecules and TNF-α, etc., among which membrane molecules CD80, surface markers CD64, etc. are representative. M2 is activated by factors such as IL-4 and IL-13, mainly has the potential of inhibiting immune response, promoting angiogenesis, tissue repair and promoting tumor growth, more secretes IL-10, TGF-β, VEGF, etc. Factors, with relatively high expression of ARG1, CD163 and CD206.

[0050] Example 1 I. Design principle A cytokine receptor (named R413) for directed M2-like polarization in macrophages was constructed, with the specific structure shown below. Figure 1 The diagram shows a combination of two chimeric receptors: one (FKBP-IL4Ra) has an extracellular domain of the rapamycin-binding protein FKBP and an intracellular domain of the cytokine receptor IL-4Ra; the other (FRB-IL13Ra) has an extracellular domain of the rapamycin-binding protein FRB and an intracellular domain of the cytokine receptor IL-13Ra. Under the influence of rapamycin, they form a heterodimer, mimicking the interaction of the natural cytokines IL-4 / IL-13 with their receptors, activating Stat6 phosphorylation and activating macrophage M2-like polarization-related genes.

[0051] II: Screening of R413 receptor structure To screen for structures capable of controlled polarization, we constructed three versions of the R413 vector, named R413V1, R413V2, and R413V3, as follows: Figure 2 As shown. The transmembrane region of R413 V1 is the transmembrane region of CD28, while the transmembrane regions of R413 V2 and R413 V3 are the transmembrane regions of IL4Ra and IL13Ra, respectively. Compared with R413 V2, R413 V3 has an additional FN3 domain (fibronectin type III domain) in its extracellular region. To test the effectiveness of the three vectors, the experiment was conducted according to the following steps: Vector sequence structure: R413-V1 (sequence number SEQ ID NO.11): Sequence information: Bases 1-63: Signal peptide sequence (igK leader); Bases 64-384: FKBP sequence; 508-588: CD28 transmembrane region; 592-2250: IL4Ra intracellular region sequence; 2260-2313: T2A peptide sequence; 2314-2376: Signal peptide sequence (igK leader); 2377-2646: FRB sequence; 2770-2850: CD28 transmembrane region; 2854-3033: IL13Ra intracellular region.

[0052] R413-V2 (sequence number SEQ ID NO.12): Sequence information: Bases 1-63: Signal peptide sequence (igK leader); Bases 94-414: FKBP sequence; 430-501: Transmembrane region of IL4Ra; 502-2610: Intracellular region sequence of IL4Ra; 2170-2223: T2A peptide sequence; 2224-2286: signal peptide sequence (igK leader); 2287-2556: FRB sequence; 2572-2643: IL13Ra transmembrane region; 2644-2823: IL13Ra intracellular region.

[0053] R413-V3 (sequence is SEQ ID NO. 13): Sequence information: Base 1-63: signal peptide sequence (igK leader); 94-414: FKBP sequence; 430-762: FN3 domain; 754-825: IL4Ra transmembrane region; 826-2484: IL4Ra intracellular region sequence; 2494-2547: T2A peptide sequence; 2548-2610: signal peptide sequence (igK leader); 2611-2880: FRB sequence; 2896-3234: FN3 domain; 3247-3318: IL13Ra transmembrane region; 3319-3498: IL13Ra intracellular region.

[0054] 1. Molecular cloning constructs a lentiviral vector expressing each structure, and prepares a lentivirus; 2. The lentivirus infects macrophages, and after screening to obtain cells expressing each structure, 50 nM rapamycin is added to the culture medium of the macrophages for 30 minutes, and then the degree of STAT6 phosphorylation is detected by flow cytometry; 48 hours after the addition of 50 nM rapamycin, the expression of CD206 is detected by flow cytometry. The STAT6 phosphorylation level and the CD206 expression level are compared, and the results are shown in Figure 2 .

[0055] The results show that R413 V2 and R413 V3 have higher STAT6 phosphorylation levels and CD206 expression levels, and R413 V3 is more effective, so R413 V3 is used for subsequent experiments.

[0056] Three: in vitro functional verification: after the macrophages overexpress R413, they can be polarized to M2-like under the action of rapamycin.

[0057] In order to verify that R413 makes macrophages M2 polarize under the action of rapamycin, macrophages expressing R413 and wild-type macrophages are selected as controls, rapamycin is added, STAT6 phosphorylation and CD206 expression are detected by flow cytometry, and the expression of M2-related marker genes Arg1, Mrc1, and Pparg1 is detected by QPCR, and the results are shown in Figure 3 .

[0058] Conclusion: After overexpression of R413 in macrophages, STAT6 phosphorylation is induced by rapamycin, and downstream genes are activated, leading to M2-like polarization.

[0059] Four: R413 overexpressing macrophages have therapeutic effects on autoimmune hepatitis.

[0060] Eight to ten-week-old male C57 / B6 mice were selected and injected with ConA at a dose of 15 mg / kg via the tail vein to construct an autoimmune hepatitis model. Two hours after modeling, R413-expressing macrophages (R413-Ms+RAPA) were injected via the tail vein. Other groups were as follows: unmodeled group, modeled mice injected with PBS (PBS), modeled mice injected with only rapamycin (RAPA), modeled mice injected with only wild-type macrophages (WT-Ms), and modeled mice injected with wild-type cells and rapamycin (WT-Ms+RAPA). Five mice were included in each group, and blood was collected 14 hours after modeling. Blood routine tests were performed to detect the levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT), which are indicative of liver damage. The levels of inflammatory factors in the serum were detected by Elisa. Mice died during the experiment, and 24 hours was the endpoint. Liver tissue sections were stained by immunofluorescence TUNEL to detect tissue cell apoptosis and necrosis. The results are shown in Figure 4

[0061] Conclusion: Adoptive transfer of R413 macrophages and injection of rapamycin can significantly improve the survival rate of mice with autoimmune hepatitis, reduce liver damage, reduce the levels of inflammatory factors, and reduce tissue necrosis.

[0062] Five: R413 overexpressing macrophages have therapeutic effects on inflammatory bowel disease Eight to ten-week-old male C57 / B6 mice were selected and injected with 3% DSS (sodium salt of dextran sulfate) added to water for 7 days. Cells and rapamycin were injected intraperitoneally on the third day of modeling. The experiment was divided into three groups: unmodeled, modeled and injected with PBS, and modeled and injected with macrophages and rapamycin treatment (WT-Ms+RAPA), with 10 mice in each group. During the experiment, indicators such as body weight, soft stool, and the degree of blood in stool were continuously monitored, and the disease index was calculated. On the tenth day, the mice were sacrificed. Four mice were given FITC-labeled dextran orally before being sacrificed to detect intestinal permeability, and BrdU was injected intraperitoneally to detect intestinal cell proliferation. After the mice were sacrificed, the colon tissue was removed to measure the length, and HE staining was performed on the sections to detect the structural integrity. Immunofluorescence staining was performed to detect the proportion of Ki67 and BrdU positive cells, which is indicative of tissue repair capacity. The colon tissue was removed, and RNA was extracted for qPCR to detect the expression levels of inflammation-related factors in the tissue.

[0063] The results are shown in Figures 5-9 ​​

[0064] Conclusion: As shown in Figure 5 Figure 6, adoptive transfer of R413 macrophages and injection of rapamycin significantly reduced the disease index of mice with intestinal inflammation.

[0065] As shown in Figure 6 Figure 7, mice treated with adoptive transfer of R413 macrophages had longer colons and lower permeability, indicating that the colon structure was more complete.

[0066] As shown in Figure 7 Figure 8, mice treated with adoptive transfer of R413 macrophages had more complete colon structure.

[0067] As shown in Figure 8 Figure 9, mice treated with adoptive transfer of R413 macrophages had higher proportion of Ki67 and BrdU double positive cells in the colon crypt, indicating that cell therapy promoted tissue repair ability.

[0068] As shown in Figure 9 Figure 10, mice treated with adoptive transfer of R413 macrophages had lower inflammation level in colon tissue.

[0069] Six: R413 overexpressing macrophages have therapeutic effect on SLE MRL / Lpr mice were selected as model mice (which spontaneously develop lupus phenotype), and the experiment was divided into 4 groups: MRL / MPJ control group (healthy control), model mice without treatment, CD20 antibody B cell deletion group (i.e. model mice were injected with anti-CD20 antibody through the tail vein, with an injection amount of 250 μg per mouse, to deplete B cells by antibody), and CD20 antibody B cell deletion and injection of R413 expressing macrophages and rapamycin (i.e. model mice were injected with anti-CD20 antibody through the tail vein, with an injection amount of 250 μg per mouse, and injected with R413 expressing macrophages and rapamycin). Antibodies were injected at 12 weeks, and cells and rapamycin were injected at 13 weeks. The survival of mice was observed during the period. At 19 weeks of age, the experiment was terminated, and urine was collected to detect urine protein creatinine ratio, blood was collected to detect anti-double stranded DNA antibody level in serum, kidney tissue was collected for immunofluorescence staining to detect IgG, IgM, C3 deposition level in kidney, and expression of vimentin and F-actin was detected, and electron microscopy was used to detect the ultrastructure of glomerular cells in the kidney of the experimental mice. The improvement of the pathological structure of the kidney of the mice was detected.

[0070] The results are shown in Figures 10-14 Figure 11.

[0071] Conclusion: As shown in Figure 10 Figure 12, adoptive transfer of R413 macrophages treatment improved the survival of mice.

[0072] As shown in Figure 11As shown, the level of kidney injury after adoptive transfer of R413 macrophages was reduced, and the level of anti-double stranded DNA antibody in serum was reduced.
