[0002] Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a highly prevalent and deadliest malignant tumor worldwide. Its development involves multiple complex factors, including genetic variations, epigenetic dysregulation, and dynamic remodeling of the tumor microenvironment (TME). Despite continuous advancements in traditional therapies such as surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy, the five-year survival rate remains unsatisfactory for patients with advanced disease, especially those with metastasis. Therefore, there is an urgent need for more effective treatment strategies in clinical practice.
[0003] Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), especially CD8 + The number and functional status of T cells have been confirmed by multiple studies to be significantly associated with improved prognosis in CRC patients. However, in the majority of microsatellite stable (MSS) patients, tumors can still progress even with some degree of T cell infiltration, indicating that endogenous immune responses are often insufficient to effectively control the tumor. Immune checkpoint blockade therapy (ICB) targeting the programmed death protein-1 and its ligand-1 (PD-1 / PD-L1) pathway has achieved breakthroughs in some tumors, but its application in CRC is limited: except for a few patients with high microsatellite instability (MSI-H) or mismatch repair deficiency (dMMR), the vast majority of microsatellite stable (MSS) or pMMR patients do not respond well to ICB. Notably, this subtype is often accompanied by KRAS gene mutations ( KRAS Currently, there is still a lack of effective immunotherapy strategies for patients with MT (metastatic leukemia).

[0127] Example 10: Functional validation analysis of CAR-T cells targeting CD44 lactation sites against solid tumors
[0128] Addressing the limitation of CAR-T therapy in solid tumor treatment due to the suppression of T cell function by the tumor microenvironment, this embodiment explores the effect of blocking CD44 lactation on improving CAR-T cell function, based on the regulatory role of CD44 lactation in immunosuppression. While chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy has shown significant efficacy in hematologic malignancies, its application in solid tumors remains limited by T-cell dysfunction induced by the tumor microenvironment. To clarify whether blocking CD44 lactation can enhance the efficacy of CAR-T cell therapy, this embodiment investigates the effect of blocking CD44 lactation on improving CAR-T cell function from the perspectives of tumor microenvironment and T-cell function regulation. Cd44 WT and Cd44 K163RCAR-T cells targeting MC38-hCD19 tumors were prepared in mice, and their antitumor activity in this model was systematically evaluated. Figure 11 (A in the middle).
[0129] The process for preparing CAR-T cells targeting MC38-hCD19 tumors is as follows:
[0130] In CAR-T tumor model research, with Cd44 WT and Cd44 K163R Mice (background: C57BL / 6 mice, expressing CD45.2) + Using wild-type C57BL / 6 mice (background C57BL / 6 mice expressing CD45.1) as donor mice, and wild-type C57BL / 6 mice (background C57BL / 6 mice expressing CD45.1) were used as donor mice. + The recipient mice were MC38-hCD19 mouse colorectal cancer cells.

Subsequently, MC38-hCD19 mouse colorectal cancer cells (2×10⁻⁶) were... 6 (One dose) was subcutaneously injected into the right subcutaneous tissue of 7-8 week old recipient mice. When the tumor was palpable in the recipient mouse, activation was achieved from... Cd44 WT and Cd44 K163R Initial CD8 isolated from donor mice + T cells were transduced using lentiviral particles (Hillgene, Suzhou, China) carrying a pHi-HV01-EF1α-CD19 CAR to generate CAR-T cells, which were then expanded in vitro.
[0132] Eight days after injection of MC38-hCD19 into colorectal cancer cells, the recipient mice were tumor-bearing mice (tumor volume approximately 50-100 mm). 3 CAR-T cells expanded in vitro were collected, washed with PBS, and resuspended in sterile PBS. They were then administered via tail vein injection (1×10⁻⁶ cells / mL). 6 200 μL of PBS (1 cell / 200 μL) was injected into tumor-bearing mice. The control group was injected with the same amount of PBS.
[0133] The results showed that, compared with Cd44 WT Compared to CAR-T cells, Cd44 K163R CAR-T cell therapy significantly inhibited tumor growth and reduced tumor burden in mice. Figure 11 (B and C in CD8). Further functional analysis showed that in all CD8... +Within the T cell population, cells expressing the CD45.2 allele (CD45.2 from donor-derived mice) + The percentage of cells. Cd44 K163R CAR-T cells have enhanced infiltration capacity in tumor tissues. Figure 11 The effector function of CD8 was significantly enhanced, manifested as positive tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and GzmB-positive CD8. + The proportion of T cells increased ( Figure 11 (E in the middle), while depleted PD-1 + TIM-3 + CD8 + The proportion of T cells decreased ( Figure 11 (F in the middle).
[0134] The above results indicate that blocking CD44 lactation can effectively improve the infiltration and function of chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR-T cells) in the solid tumor microenvironment, providing an experimental basis for the development of a new generation of CAR-T therapies for solid tumors.
