Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] This invention was made in part with funding from the National Institutes of Health, Grant No. UL1TR002489. This invention was made with Government support under the National Institute of Standards and Technology Act (NISAT). The Government has certain rights in this invention.
[0002] This application is a continuation of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63 / 008,069, filed April 10, 2020. No. 6,399,433, filed on Oct. 23, 2003, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. [Background technology]
[0003] Adoptive T cell therapy harnesses and redirects a patient's own immune system, but It has emerged as a promising personalized therapeutic modality for treating cancer and various other diseases. The most successful example targets CD19, which is expressed by B cell-derived malignancies. Adoptive transfer of chimeric antigen receptor-redirected T cells (CAR-T cells), which Approved by the FDA in 2017. The compelling success of CD19-specific CAR-T cell therapy As a result, there are currently efforts to expand the use of CAR-T cells to other types of cancer. One of the key steps involved in current CAR-T cell therapy is ex vivo This is a genetic modification of T cells in the tumor, which redirects the specificity of T cells against tumor antigens. The drug confers on T cells the ability to stably express a CAR molecule that targets the target gene.
[0004] Many different approaches to genetically engineer T cells ex vivo are being explored. Among them, lentivirus or retrovirus vector (RV)-based gene transfer is This represents the most successful approach. When using RV to generate CAR-T cells, Because resting T cells have difficulty undergoing RV-mediated recruitment, T cells isolated from patients are the first First, it was stimulated with agonist anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 antibodies, and then with RV. RV particles are incubated for a short distance, so Brownian motion (60 times within one half-life) 0 μm) and activated T cells and RVs can move through the solution. The contact must be effected by centrifugation or spinoculation in the presence of a transfer enhancer. Transduction enhancers such as polybrene and protamine sulfate have been shown to be somewhat successful. The recombinant fibronectin fragment CH296 (Retronectin) is the most commonly used fibronectin for RV. It represents a transduction-enhancing reagent that is widely used clinically. , which binds to RV via its heparin-binding domain and via the CS-1 / RGD domain Retronectin binds to T cells, bringing the cells together with the RV and facilitating gene transfer. For efficient colocalization of V and T cells, polystyrene plates, flasks, or Solid surfaces such as bags must be coated in advance. and subsequent CAR expression remains suboptimal under passive / static conditions. To achieve expression, RV cells were seeded onto Retronectin-coated surfaces. The RetroNectin complement complexes are then centrifuged to concentrate them on the same surface. Assisted spinoculation limits scale-up and entails significant costs. Furthermore, RetroNectin is a recombinant protein and is inherently bioreactive, allowing Therefore, Retronectin or Spinokine may affect the differentiation and proliferation of This allows for one-step ex vivo treatment of T cells under static conditions without any modulation. The development of an efficient culture system will allow RV or other viral vectors to serve as gene delivery systems. This would significantly reduce the manufacturing costs of CAR-T cells when used as a therapeutic agent. Summary of the Invention

[0053] As noted above, one preferred material for the hydrogel is alginate or modified alginate. Alginate is a material that allows control over molecular weight, degradation rate, and scaffold formation. This results in versatile polysaccharide-based polymers that can be formulated for specific applications. The alginate molecule is made up of (1-4) linked β-D-mannuronic acid (M units) and α It consists of L-guluronic acid (G unit) monomers, which are arranged in a uniform ratio and order along the polymer chain. Alginate polysaccharides can change the distribution of divalent cations (e.g., C a +2 , Mg +2 , B.A. +2 ) and when exposed to these molecules A polyelectrolyte system that forms stable hydrogels. Martinsen A., et al., Biotech. & Bioeng., 33 (1989) 79-89.) Examples For example, cross-linked calcium alginate hydrogels are useful in the methods described herein. For example, the polymer of the hydrogel, e.g., alginate, may be 0-100% crosslinked, e.g., At least 1%, 5%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 8 In another embodiment, the polymer of the hydrogel is crosslinked to 0%, 90% or more. In some instances, the polymers of the hydrogel, such as alginate, are not crosslinked. - e.g., alginate is less than 50%, e.g., less than 50%, less than 40%, less than 30% , less than 20%, less than 10%, less than 50%, less than 2%, less than 1% crosslinked.
[0054] Alginates can be chemically modified to obtain new properties. For example, alginates can be , can be oxidized to increase the rate of biodegradation. Alternatively, alginate can be biocompatible. Alginates can also be reduced to change their crosslinking behavior. For example, alginate can be modified with bioorthogonal click groups. In another example, alginate can be modified with acrylic groups to allow for click crosslinking. Modifications can be made to allow radical polymerization crosslinking. Modification with to-guest chemistry allows for host-guest cross-linking.
[0055] Alginate polymers can be formed into various hydrogel types. Alginate scaffolds are The alginate is formed from alginates with molecular weights ranging from 1,000 Da to 500,000 Da. The alginate scaffolds are made from alginates with a G / M ratio of 0.5 to 5. The kinetics of hydrogel degradation can be controlled by different hydrogel formulations. Pharmaceutical compositions from alginate hydrogels, such as small molecules, morphogens, or other The release rate of the bioactive agent is controlled by the hydrogel formulation to spatially distribute the pharmaceutical composition. This controlled release reduces systemic side effects and Eliminates the need for multiple injections.
[0056] Useful polysaccharides other than alginate include agarose and microbial polysaccharides, as follows: These include, but are not limited to: fungal pullulan, scleroglucan, chitin, chitosan , elsinan, bacterial xanthan gum, curdlan, dextran, gelatin, levan, ethan Mulsan, cellulose, hyaluronic acid, etc.

[0061] (1) Retrovirus vector Retroviruses are animal viruses that belong to the Retroviridae family of viruses and are Retroviral vectors are classified according to type, subfamily, genus, or tropism. rma,IM,Retroviral vectors for gene tra Examples of retroviruses that can be used as vectors are described in Human T-lymphotropic virus (HTLV)-1 (HTLV-1), HTLV-2 HTLV-3, HTLV-4, simian foamy virus, human foamy virus, simian immunodeficiency virus These include the HIV, SIV, and Rous sarcoma virus. Examples include, but are not limited to:
[0062] Retroviruses are essentially packages that contain nucleic acid cargo. The ribosomal protein contains a packaging signal, which allows the replicated daughter molecules to be efficiently packaged within the package coat. In addition to the packaging signal, The required cis site for the replication of the virus and for packaging of the replicated virus. There are several molecules. Typically, the retroviral genome is composed of a protein coat. The gag, pol, and env genes involved in the production of ribosomal RNA are introduced into the target cell. Typically, the gag, pol, and env genes are replaced by foreign DNA. Retroviral vectors are typically packaged in a package envelope for incorporation into the package coat. The gag transcription signal, a sequence that signals the initiation of the gag transcription unit, and the tRNA promoter for reverse transcription An element required for reverse transcription that contains a primer binding site that binds to the ima during DNA synthesis. Terminal repeat sequences that guide the switch of the RNA strand, the promoter for synthesis of the second strand of DNA synthesis The purine-rich sequence on the 5' side of the 3'LTR, which acts as a priming site, and the host genome Features near the ends of the LTR that allow for insertion of DNA in a retroviral state for insertion into the The deletion of the gag, pol, and env genes results in a fragment of approximately 8 kb. The foreign sequence is inserted into the viral genome, reverse transcribed, and then produced into new retroviral particles during replication. This amount of nucleic acid can be packaged in as little as one transcript, depending on the size of each transcript. It is sufficient to deliver multiple genes from the same It is preferred to include either a positive or negative selectable marker.
[0063] Most of the replication machinery and packaging proteins in retroviral vectors are Since the genes for gag, pol, and env have been removed, the vector typically The packaging cell line is generated by placing the The recombinant plasmid was designed to contain the ribosomal protein and the packaging machinery, but lack any packaging signals. A cell line that has been transfected or transformed with a retrovirus. When vectors carrying the .DELTA..DELTA. gene are transfected into these cell lines, they are transformed by helper cells into The machinery provided by IS allows the vector containing the gene of interest to replicate and produce new The genome of the virus lacks the necessary signals. Therefore, it is not packaged.
[0064] Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) vectors and simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) vectors Lentiviral vectors (LV), including but not limited to, LV vectors, can be used in cultured cells or in cultured cells. It is a versatile vector for in vivo gene transfer in dividing and non-dividing cells. This allows for flexibility in transducing a variety of lung cancer cells without time-consuming selection for stable expression. Replication-deficient VSV G-pseudotyped lentiviral vectors (G Cells can be transduced using eneCopoeia (manufactured to order by Cut.
[0065] (2) Adenovirus Vector The construction of replication-defective adenoviruses has been described previously (Berkner et al., 2002). t al., J. Virology 61:1213-1220 (1987), Mass ie et al.,Mol.Cell.Biol.6:2872-2883(1986 ), Haj-Ahmad et al., J. Virology 57:267-274 (1986), Davidson et al., J.

The advantage of using these viruses as vectors is that they replicate within the initially infected cell. can transmit the virus to other organisms, but cannot form new infectious virus particles. The extent to which recombinant adenovirus can spread to other cell types is limited. The drug has been shown to be directly linked to airway epithelium, hepatocytes, vascular endothelium, CNS parenchyma, and several other tissue sites. It has been shown that highly efficient gene transfer can be achieved following in vivo delivery of .Clin.Invest.92:1580-1586(1993), Kirshenb aum, J. Clin. Invest. 92:381-387 (1993), Roess ler, J.

Nonoviruses achieve gene transfer by binding to specific cell surface receptors, The virus then transduces in a receptor-mediated manner in the same manner as wild-type or replication-defective adenoviruses. Internalized by endocytosis (Chardonnet and Dales , Virology 40:462-477 (1970), Brown and Bur. Lingham, J. Virology 12:386-396 (1973), Sven sson and Persson, J.

[0066] The viral vector should be based on an adenovirus with the E1 gene deleted. These virions can be produced in cell lines such as the human 293 cell line. In a preferred embodiment, both the E1 and E3 genes are removed from the adenoviral genome. can be.
[0067] (3) Adeno-associated virus vector Another type of viral vector is based on adeno-associated viruses (AAVs). Certain parvoviruses are preferred because they can infect many cell types and are nonpathogenic to humans. AAV-type vectors are preferred vectors. They can transport approximately 4 to 5 kb and are highly effective in the wild-type genome. AAV-type chromosomes are known to stably integrate into chromosome 19 (e.g., AAV recombinants). Vectors with this site-specific integration property are preferred. A particularly preferred embodiment of this type of vector is the vector available from Avigen (San Francis Group, The P4.1C vector produced by Sancisco, CA, is a simple vector. Rupesvirus thymidine kinase gene, HSV-tk, and / or marker genes, e.g. For example, it may have a gene encoding the green fluorescent protein, GFP.
[0068] In another type of AAV virus, AAV expresses a cell-specific .alpha.- A pair of fusion proteins flanking at least one cassette having a promoter for directing heterologous expression. In this context, heterologous refers to AAV or B19 It refers to any nucleotide sequence or gene that is not native to a parvovirus.
[0069] Typically, the AAV and B19 coding regions are deleted to produce a safe, non-cytotoxic vector. The AAV ITRs, or modifications thereof, confer infectivity and site-specific integration capabilities. The promoter induces cell-specific expression. Patent No. 6,261,834 is incorporated herein by reference for material relating to AAV vectors. INCORPORATED INTO THE SPECIFICATION.
[0070] Thus, the disclosed vectors integrate into mammalian chromosomes without substantial toxicity. The present invention provides a DNA molecule capable of
[0071] The inserted gene in viruses and retroviruses usually directs expression of a desired gene product. It contains a promoter and / or enhancer that help control the Generally, a DNA fragment that functions when in a relatively fixed position with respect to the transcription start site. The promoter is a sequence required for the basic interaction of RNA polymerase and transcription factors. It contains the necessary core elements and may contain upstream elements and response elements.
[0072] (4) Large payload viral vectors Molecular genetic experiments using large human herpesviruses have revealed that large heterologous DNA fragments , cloning, propagation, and establishment in cells permissive for infection with herpes viruses. (Sun et al., Nature Genetics, s 8:33-41,1994, Cotter and Robertson,.Cur. r Opin Mol Ther 5:633-644,1999). These large D NA virus (Herpes simplex virus (HSV) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) V)) has the ability to deliver fragments of human heterologous DNA of >150 kb to specific cells. EBV recombinants are able to maintain large pieces of DNA within infected B cells as episomal DNA. Individual clones carrying human genomic inserts of up to 330 kb can be genetically Maintenance of these episomes appears to be constitutively dependent on EBV during infection. A specific EBV nuclear protein, EBNA1, which is expressed in the EBV nucleoprotein 1 (EBNA1) is required. The vector can be used to perform transfection, where large amounts of protein can be The herpes virus amplification system can also be used to transiently produce Packages DNA fragments larger than 220 kb and stably stores the DNA as episomes It has also been used to infect cells that can be maintained in a stable manner.
[0073] Other useful systems include, for example, replicating and host-restricted non-replicating vaccinia virus vectors. Kutar is one example.
[0074] 2. Expression system The nucleic acids delivered to cells typically contain expression control systems. For example, viruses and The inserted gene in a retroviral system usually contains a promoter to control the expression of the desired gene product. The promoter generally contains a promoter and / or enhancer that is useful for transcription. A sequence of DNA that functions when it is in a fixed location relatively to the start of transcription. The promoter contains core elements required for the basic interaction of RNA polymerase and transcription factors. and may contain upstream elements and response elements.
[0075] a) Viral promoters and enhancers Preferred promoters controlling transcription from the vector in mammalian host cells include a variety of Sources, e.g., polyoma, Simian Virus 40 (SV40), adenovirus, Viruses such as hepatitis B virus, hepatitis B virus, and most preferably cytomegalovirus. from the genome of the mammalian plant or from a heterologous mammalian promoter, e.g., the β-actin promoter. The early and late promoters of the SV40 virus can be obtained from the The SV40 restriction fragment also contains the SV40 origin of replication (Fiers et al. ., Nature, 273:113 (1978)). The promoter is conveniently obtained as a HindIII E restriction fragment (Greenway, PJ et al., Gene 18:355-360 (1982)). Promoters from the host cell or related species are also useful herein.
[0076] Enhancers generally function at any convenient distance from the transcription start site and act as transcriptional regulators of transcription units. 5' side (Laimins, L. et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 78: 993 (1981)) or the 3' side (Lusky, ML, et al. , Mol. Cell Bio. 3:1108 (1983)). Furthermore, enhancers are sequences located within introns (Banerji, JLett. al., Cell 33:729 (1983)), and within the coding sequence itself (Osbo rne,TF,et al.,Mol.Cell Bio.4:1293(1984 )) which are usually 10-300 bp in length and function in cis. Enhancers function to increase transcription from a nearby promoter. Enhancers also often contain response elements that mediate the regulation of transcription. Enhancers can also contain response elements that mediate the regulation of transcription. Determines the regulation of expression. Many enhancer sequences are now known to exist in mammalian genes (globin, elastase, albumin, -fetoprotein, and insulin), Typically, one uses enhancers from eukaryotic cell viruses for general expression. Preferred examples include the SV40 enhancer on the late side of the replication origin (bp 100 to 270), Tomegalovirus early promoter enhancer, polyoma enhancer on the late side of the replication origin and adenovirus enhancers.
[0077] Promoters and / or enhancers can be activated by light or specific chemicals to trigger their function. The system can be specifically activated by either tetracycline or dexamethasone. It can be regulated by agents such as methazone. It can also be regulated by exposure to radiation such as gamma irradiation. Exposure to IL-14 or alkylating chemotherapy drugs enhances gene expression of viral vectors. There are also ways to do this.
[0078] In certain embodiments, the promoter and / or enhancer region is a transcription unit that is transcribed. It acts as a constitutive promoter and / or enhancer to maximize expression of the target region. In certain constructs, the promoter and / or enhancer region may be All eukaryotic cell types, even if they are only expressed in certain types of cells at certain times A preferred promoter of this type is the CMV promoter (650 Other preferred promoters include the SV40 promoter, the cytomegalovirus the promoter (full length promoter), and the LTR of the retroviral vector.
[0079] All specific regulatory elements have been cloned and expressed in specific cell types, such as melanoma cells. It has been shown that this method can be used to construct selectively expressed expression vectors. The glial fibrillary acetate protein (GFAP) promoter is involved in the selection of genes in cells of glial origin. It has been used to selectively express
[0080] It can also be used in eukaryotic host cells (yeast, fungal, insect, plant, animal, human, or nucleated cells). The expression vector used may contain sequences necessary for the termination of transcription that may affect the expression of mRNA. These regions may be located in the untranslated portion of the mRNA encoding the tissue factor protein. The 3' untranslated region contains a polyadenylated segment that is transcribed at 3 min. Preferably, the transcription unit also contains a polyadenylation region. One advantage of the region is that the transcription unit may be processed and transported like an mRNA. The identification and use of polyadenylation signals in expression constructs It is well established that homologous polyadenylation signals are used in transgene constructs. In certain transcription units, the polyadenylation region is preferably an SV40 early polyadenylation region. It is derived from the re-adenylation signal and consists of about 400 bases. The transcription unit can be either alone or can be combined with other standard sequences to improve expression or stability from the construct. It is also preferred that the compound contains
[0081] b) Marker The vector can include a nucleic acid sequence that encodes a marker product. The method uses the gene to deliver it to a cell and determine whether it is expressed once delivered. A preferred marker gene is the lacZ gene of E. coli (β-galactosidase ), and green fluorescent protein.
[0082] In some embodiments, the marker may be a selectable marker. Mammalian cells Examples of suitable selectable markers include dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR), thymidine dinucleotide Kinase, neomycin, neomycin analog G418, hydromycin, and puromycin Such selectable markers have been successfully transferred to mammalian host cells. The transformed mammalian host cell is then capable of surviving if placed under selective pressure. There are two different categories of selective regimes that are widely used. The category relies on the use of mutant cell lines that lack the ability to grow independently of a supplemented medium, as well as on cellular metabolism. Two examples are CHO DHFR-cells and mouse LTK-cells. These cells have the ability to grow without the addition of nutrients such as thymidine or hypoxanthine. These cells lack certain genes required for a complete nucleotide synthesis pathway. Therefore, they cannot survive unless the missing nucleotides are provided in a supplemented medium. An alternative to supplementing the medium would be to introduce intact DHFR or The first step is to change their growth requirements by introducing the TK gene. Individual cells that were not transformed with the TK gene were able to survive in non-supplemented medium. It would be impossible.
[0083] The second category refers to the selection schemes used in any cell type, including the use of mutant cell lines. These schemes are dominant selection schemes that do not require the use of a gene that stops the growth of the host cell. Those cells that have the new gene transmit drug resistance. In an example of such dominant selection, the drug nephrectomy is used to express the protein and survive the selection. Omycin, (Southern P. and Berg, P., J. Molec. Ap pl. Genet. 1:327(1982)), mycophenolic acid (Mulligan, RCand Berg, P.Science 209:1422(1980)), and was hygromycin (Sugden, B. et al., Mol. Cell. Biol. 5:410-413 (1985). Three examples are shown in which the cellular functions of eukaryotic cells are controlled by The bacterial genes were then used to inject the appropriate drugs, G418 or neomycin (Geneticin), It transmits resistance to XGPT (mycophenolic acid) or hygromycin. These include the omycin analogs G418 and puramycin.
[0084] 3. Pharmaceutical Carriers / Delivery of Pharmaceutical Products As mentioned above, the composition can also be administered in vivo in a pharma- ceutically acceptable carrier. "Pharmaceutically acceptable" means that the compound does not cause any undesirable biological effects. does not interact in any harmful manner with any of the other components of the pharmaceutical composition with which it comes into contact. Materials that are not functional and biologically or otherwise undesirable, i.e., nucleic acids A carrier refers to a material that can be administered to a subject together with a vector. thus minimizing any degradation of the active ingredient and preventing any adverse side effects in the subject. can be necessarily selected to minimize
[0085] The compositions can be administered orally, parenterally (e.g., intravenously), by intramuscular injection, intraperitoneally, transdermally, extracorporeally, It may be administered topically (including topical intranasal administration or by inhalation), or the like. As used herein, "topical intranasal administration" refers to administration of a composition to the nose via one or both nostrils. means to deliver to the tract by a spray or droplet mechanism, or by delivery of nucleic acid or vector Administration of the composition by inhalation can include delivery by aerosolization of the composition. Delivery can be through the nose or mouth via a droplet mechanism. Delivery can be through intubation. Alternatively, the compound can be delivered directly to any area of the respiratory system (e.g., the lungs). The exact amount of ingredient will depend on the species, age, weight, and general condition of the subject, the type of allergic disorder being treated, and the severity of the allergic disorder. Depending on the severity, the particular nucleic acid or vector used, and its method of administration, it may vary from subject to subject. Therefore, it is not possible to specify an exact amount for every composition. However, the appropriate amount can be determined using only routine experimentation given the teachings herein. and can be determined by one of ordinary skill in the art.
[0086] Parenteral administration of the composition, if used, is generally characterized by injection. Injectables are liquids. in liquid form or suspension, solid form suitable for solution of suspension in liquid prior to injection, or as emulsions The recently revised approach to parenteral administration is This involves the use of sustained or extended release such that a constant dosage is maintained. See U.S. Pat. No. 3,610,795, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Receptor-mediated targeting of DNA, lymphocyte-specific tumor targeting, and in vivo mouse tumor targeting Highly specific therapeutic retroviral targeting of glioma cells. The following references are based on tumor tissue An example of the use of this technology to target specific proteins in vivo is shown in Hughes et al. l., Cancer Research, 49:6214-6220, (1989), and and Litzinger and Huang, Biochimica et Bioph. ysica Acta, 1104:179-187, (1992)). In general, the receptors , which are involved in either constitutive or ligand-induced endocytosis pathways. The receptors cluster within clathrin-coated pits and are transported to the cell via clathrin-coated vesicles. They enter the cell, pass through acidified endosomes where receptors are sorted, and then are recycled to the cell surface. These proteins are either transported through the blood, stored intracellularly, or degraded in the lysosomes. The internalization pathway is involved in the uptake of nutrients, removal of activated proteins, and clearance of macromolecules. opportunistic entry of viruses and toxins, dissociation and degradation of ligands, and regulation of receptor levels Many receptors function differently depending on the cell type, receptor concentration, ligand type, and Depending on the ligand valency and concentration, two or more intracellular pathways are followed. The molecular and cellular mechanisms of endocytosis have been reported (Brown and Gr eene,DNA and Cell Biology 10:6,399-409(1 991).

[0112] 1. Example 1: Scaffold-Mediated Static Engineering of T Cells for CAR-T Cell Therapy G The present inventors have developed a method for engineering cells with vectors (e.g., T cells with RV vectors). Three-dimensional (3D) macroporous scaffolds as efficient single-step static platforms The inventors have developed a three-dimensional scaffold with macroporosity and high water absorption capacity that can Similar to that achieved by using nectins and spinoculation, The present inventors have discovered that the colocalization of the viral vector and T cells is possible by using a calcitonin-containing IgG antibody. A macroporous scaffold was prepared from sodium cross-linked alginate, which has been shown to be biocompatible, Due to their low toxicity, low cost, and gentle gelation by divalent cations, they are widely used in many biomedical applications. It is a GMP-compliant, FDA-approved biomaterial that is widely used for various applications. The dry, hygroscopic and macroporous alginate scaffold contains vectors and cells (e.g., RV vectors). and T cells) and without spinoculation Single-stage T cell proliferation without affecting the function and viability of cells (e.g., engineered T cells) We observed that these scaffolds enabled efficient gene transfer in a single scaffold. A simple, cost-effective, and affordable method to generate highly functional T cells for adoptive cell therapy Represents a scalable platform technology.
[0113] Macroporous alginate scaffolds were prepared by gentle cryogelation (Figure 1A). SEM imaging revealed well-connected 100–20 dendritic cells throughout the scaffold. RV particles were used to transduce human T cells. We tested alginate scaffolds for the introduction of erythrocytes into the scaffolds. The T cells were then activated with agonistic anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 antibodies. RV-RetroNectin-coated T cells were cultured using conventional spinoculated RV-RetroNectin-coated RV particles were seeded on either plates, or alginate scaffolds. Transduction at multiplicities of infection (MOI) of 1, 2, and 4 with the retrovirus encoding Preliminary screening of transfection efficiency demonstrated efficient transduction (Figure 3A), and an MOI of 2 was further increased. As shown in Figure 1D, 72% of the cells were incubated with RV particles. After 2 h, GFP-expressing T cells on the scaffold were retronecrotized by spinoculation. The results were comparable to those in the GFP-coated plates (85±3% vs. 90±5% GFP). + Thin These results are indicative of a significant improvement in the efficacy of IFN-γ in both groups compared with viral transduction in preliminary experiments. showed improved transduction in the 3G-T cells (Figure 3A, 49% vs. 73.5%, respectively). There was little variation across the three different PBMC donors (Figure 1). 1D).
[0114] To evaluate whether the macroporosity of the scaffold affects the interaction of RV particles with T cells, To achieve this, the inventors demonstrated that RV particles and T cells can be adsorbed, but the T cells cannot attach to the scaffold. We created a nanoporous scaffold that lacks macroporosity to allow RV particles to enter (Figure 1E). Test whether the sponge-like effect was also necessary to create proximity between the child and T cells To achieve this, we have developed a membrane that has large pores but does not allow active flow of fluid into the inner pores. We tested hydrated macroporous scaffolds without any hygroscopic properties. We also tested dry nanoporous scaffolds. Both the hydrated macroporous gel and the dry macroporous scaffold showed efficient gene transfer. We found that transduction was not possible (Figures 1F and 1G).
[0115] Next, CAR-T cells generated using the dried macroporous scaffolds were tested in vitro. These experiments evaluated whether the CD19 antigen (CD19.CAR) could function as a target for the CD19 antigen. We used RV particles encoding heterologous CARs. Activated CARs obtained from three healthy donors were T cells were cultured on RV particle-loaded alginate scaffolds or retronectin-coated plates. Upon removal from the scaffold or RetroNectin, T cells were maintained in culture and CAR expression was analyzed on days 3 and 9 after transduction. As shown in Figure 2A, the scaffold Both retronectin and retronectin promoted equivalent transduction efficacy, and CAR expression was significantly increased during proliferation at day 9. The results remained unchanged until 2013 (Fig. 2A, Fig. 3B). The immune composition of CAR-T cells was also analyzed. There were no differences in expression of markers of fatigue (PD-1, Lag3) or inflammatory bowel disease (CRD1, CCR7, 45RA, CCR7) or fatigue (PD-1, Lag3) No significant difference was observed (Figures 4 and 5). Next, to evaluate the antitumor effect in vitro, Generated by either scaffold-mediated or retronectin-mediated transduction Control non-transduced T cells (NT cells) and CD19.CAR-T cells were The cells were co-cultured with CD19 positive target cells (Daudi) and CD19 negative target cells (U937). While the cells did not eliminate any of the tumor cells, the cells CD19.CAR-T cells transduced with + Eliminate Daudi cells (Fig. 2E and Fig. 6), but CD19 - U937 cells did not exclude (Figure 7). From the culture experiment, cytokines were measured in the supernatants collected after 24 hours of incubation. In response to Daudi cells, CD19.CAR-T cells secreted IL-2 and interferon. Finally, both the scaffold and retronectin methods released IFN-γ. CD19.CAR-T cells generated using this method responded equally well to Daudi cells. The alginate scaffolds showed high proliferation capacity (Figure 2B). We show that it generates functional CAR-T cells.
[0116] The antitumor activity of CAR-T cells observed in vitro was confirmed in an in vivo tumor model. Daudi cells labeled with firefly luciferase (FfLuc) were used in non-obese mice. Intravenously (i.v.) injected into diabetic severe combined immunodeficiency / γc- / - (NSG) mice for 4 h. Mice were treated with control non-transduced (NT) cells or scaffold or retronectin transduced cells for 14 days. The CD19.CAR-T cells generated by CAR-T cell transduction were intravenously injected into the The bioluminescence intensity of the luminescence generated by either method was evaluated. CD19.CAR-T cells controlled tumor cell proliferation (Figures 8B, 8C, and 9). Tumor control correlated with improved overall survival (Figure 8E), as assessed by changes in body weight. There was no significant toxicity (Figure 8D). Therefore, the scaffold-generated CAR-T cells CAR-T cells generated by a conventional retronectin / spinoculation approach The cells functioned similarly in vivo.
[0117] In conclusion, we have demonstrated that biocompatible macroporous alginate scaffolds can Due to its porosity and hygroscopicity, it is difficult to obtain a retrovirally engineered fibronectin, similar to the commercially available RetroNectin. This demonstrates that the dry cell therapy developed by the present inventors is effective in generating T cells that have been Dried scaffolds were plated coated with Retronectin and seeded with retroviral particles. This eliminates the need for spinocutting, thereby simplifying the manufacturing process. CAR-T cells generated through static transduction on chloroporous alginate gels These data suggest that highly functional T cells could be used for adoptive cell therapy. To enable the generation of This simple platform has also been shown to be effective in other intractable cell types. This would enable addressing the need for a convenient and efficient transduction method.

[0121] (4) Cell line and retronectin-mediated generation of CAR-T cells. Daudi cells expressing firefly luciferase were cultured in 10% fetal bovine serum (Gibco ), 2 mmol / L GlutaMax (Gibco), penicillin (100 units / mL ), and streptomycin (100 mg / mL; Gibco). All cells were maintained in 5% CO2 at 37°C. The T cells expressing CAR-T cells will be used to manufacture CAR-T cells for clinical use at UNC-CH. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were generated according to standard operating procedures currently used for the detection of lymphoma. Hoprep medium (Accurate Chemical and Scientific Buffy Coat (Gulf Coast Reg Corporation) The mice were isolated from the Milton Blood Center and treated with 1mg / mL CD3 (Milt enyi Biotec) and CD28 (BD Biosciences) monoclonal antibodies The cells were activated on plates coated with either GFP or CD19.CA antibodies. Retroviruses encoding R were prepared according to a previously reported method. was measured by standard flow cytometry assay. Serially diluted virus stocks was added to HEK293T cells. After 72 hours, GFP expression was analyzed by flow cytometry. The population with 5-20% GFP+ cells was used to analyze the GFP expression using the following formula: The viral titer (transducing units / mL) was calculated: Titer (TU / mL) = (initial cell number x % of GFP+ / (virus volume × dilution factor). MOI is the amount of transducing virus used The number of activated T cells was calculated as the ratio of the number of particles to the actual number of cells. GF on a 24-well plate (Takara Bio Inc.) coated with The mice were transduced with retroviral supernatants encoding P or CD19 CAR. Two days after transduction, the transduced T cells were cultured in 10% HyClone fetal bovine serum (GE HeLa)-treated 10-well plate. althcare), 2 mmol / L GlutaMax (Gibco), penicillin ( 100 units / mL), and streptomycin (100 mg / mL, Gibco), and supplemented with 10 ng / mL IL7 and 5 ng / mL IL15 (PeproTech). 50% Click medium (Irvine Scientific) and 50% RPMI- After proliferation in 1640 for 10-14 days, they were used for functional assays.
[0122] (5) Scaffold-mediated generation of CAR-T cells. Containing a gamma retrovirus encoding GFP or encoding human CD19.CAR The retroviral supernatant was centrifuged at 4°C, 2500g, for 15-20 minutes using an Amicon centrifuge (M The dried alginate foot was concentrated 20-fold using WCO100Kda (Milipore). The field was transferred to a non-tissue culture coated 24-well plate (Falcon). Concentrated retrovirus in μl of medium (2 mL of viral supernatant concentrated to 200 μL) (those obtained by multiplying the 6 Human PBMCs (isolated from buffy coats) were 1 x 10 cells suspended in cell culture medium were placed on the scaffold with a pipette. 6 Control leg with PBMCs The seeded scaffolds were incubated in a 5% CO2 incubator at 37°C without any additional medium.

Days later, each mouse was inoculated with 4 × 10 6 CD19.CAR-T cells or non-transduced (NT ) cells were injected intravenously. Tumor burden was assessed using Xenogen-IVIS imaging. The mice were monitored for signs of discomfort and early signs of Animals were euthanized when they lost more than 15% of their body weight or developed hind limb weakness.

[0128] 2. Example 2: Promoting CAR-T cell therapy with multifunctional biomaterial scaffolds CAR T cell therapy has shown unprecedented success against CD19-expressing B cell malignancies It has led to two FDA approvals and stimulated hundreds of ongoing clinical trials to treat human malignancies. Despite the groundbreaking potential of CAR-T cell therapy to treat rheumatoid arthritis, The complex procedures and costs required to produce RT cells have limited their widespread clinical use. The manufacturing of therapeutic CAR-T cells involves a number of steps, including: Steps need to be taken: (i) collection of T cells from patients via leukopheresis, and production (ii) shipping the vectors to a center to activate, expand, and manipulate T cells; (iii) labor-intensive procedures under Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) conditions for the production and (iv) shipping the final CAR-T cell product to hospitals and patients. The full manufacturing process can cost up to $500,000 and take several weeks to complete. This delay may give the aggressiveness of many cancers enough time to complete their production. Moreover, extensive ex vivo culture of T cells is problematic because it may not be possible to This leads to cytoplasmic differentiation, which impairs CAR- This impairs the efficacy of T cells.
[0129] More rapid methods for generating CAR-T cells with high therapeutic potential are desperately needed. To reduce the effort required to produce CAR-T cells ex vivo, , Closed automated manufacturing facilities are in operation, but this approach still requires some Allogeneic, off-the-shelf CAR-T cells require ex vivo cell engineering for individual patient-specific C This could help meet the need for AR-T cell manufacturing, but often comes at the cost of life-threatening graft versus placebo. They may cause host disease or may be rapidly eliminated by the host's immune system. Systemic delivery of CAR constructs to T cells in vivo using nanoparticles or lentivirus However, this approach is limited by the short plasma half-life of the virus injected into the system. The drug is limited by its shelf life and non-specific targeting of nanoparticles. In situ generation of CAR-T cells by ex vivo engineering remains highly attractive Such an approach would largely eliminate the need for ex vivo culture and would allow for the rapid development of Prevents terminal differentiation of CAR-T cells and promotes autologous rather than allogeneic CAR-T cell products Promotes the use of T cells.
[0130] Provided herein is in vivo CAR-T cell generation with minimal ex vivo manipulation. All-in-one macroporous alginate scaffold (MAS) for T cell engineering and delivery TER, also referred to herein as CCI-Alg). Patient-derived T cells and viral particles encoding CARs were directly loaded and transplanted on the same day. CAR-T cells can be generated in vivo (Figure 22). MASTER is as follows: The antibodies are designed to: (i) retain T cells and viral particles; (ii) activate T cells. (iii) stimulate T cell transduction and proliferation; and (iv) promote full functioning T cell proliferation. The aim of the study was to develop a method to treat tumors by continuously releasing functional CAR-T cells into the circulation to control tumor growth.
[0131] Alginate is a material that is biocompatible, biodegradable, has gentle gelling requirements, and is suitable for cell culture. These multifunctional scaffolds (MASTER, herein) have been widely applied as 3D structures for The scaffold was chosen as the basis for T cell activation (also called CCI-Alg in the literature). To promote cell proliferation, cyclooctyne-conjugated anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 antibodies were administered in a gentle manner. Immobilized on azide-modified alginate via a simple and efficient copper-free click chemistry reaction (Figure 10). The cytokine IL2 was administered to the scaffold to activate and expand T cells within the scaffold. Finally, gentle cryogelation was used to mechanically encapsulate the alginate scaffold. The construction of large pores throughout the scaffold was the first step in the construction of the scaffold. In addition, it provides an interface for efficient contact between cells and the retrovirus, which then propagates. These are important for providing an interface for the mass transfer of nutrients to the CAR-T cells. Figure 1 As shown in 1B, the SEM image of MASTER shows well-connected structures throughout the scaffold. The distribution of cells in the scaffold was examined using AF-647-labeled pores. GFP-expressing T cells were seeded onto the MASTER. 3D confocal imaging Microscopic observation revealed that T cells (approximately 12 μm in diameter) were uniformly distributed throughout the pores of the scaffold. It was shown (FIG. 11C, FIG. 12).
[0132] Efficient T cell activation and transduction are essential for the production of CAR-T cells. STER-loaded T cells are required for proper activation of retroviral-mediated gene transfer To ensure receipt of the cue, an agonist anti-CD20 conjugated to the MASTER 3 antibody and anti-CD28 antibody (1:1 w / w per mg alginate at 0, 0.5, 1 Increasing doses of 100 μg each (1, 2, or 4 μg) were tested. Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells from three different donors were used. PBMCs were seeded into MASTER and 18 hours later, the early T cell activation marker CD6 As shown in Figure 11D, cells seeded on MASTER expressed the antibody 9. Approximately 10-fold increase in CD69 expression compared to cells seeded on alginate scaffolds without lysosomes Maximal CD69 expression was achieved at an antibody concentration of 1 μg / mg alginate. This density was used for further studies. To test activation and transduction, we used naive PBMCs and GFP-encoding retroviruses. The antibody was added to the MASTER (Figure 11E) and to a scaffold control lacking antibody, resulting in The CAR-T cell population was then cultured using conventional spinoculation (RetroNectin-coated The results were compared to those made using a 72-hour inkjet printer (centrifugation onto a plate with ink on it). After incubation, GFP expression was measured by incubating non-activated PBMCs and the virus on blank scaffolds. It was barely detectable when incubated or spinoculated (0 In contrast, incubation of non-activated PBMCs on MASTER resulted in 20% transduction of T cells (Figures 11F and 11G), and MASTER A platform for both T cell activation and static transduction via retroviral gene delivery This shows that it functions as a form.
[0133] Next, the functionality of CAR-T cells generated in MASTER was confirmed by using CD19-specific CAR The study was performed using a retrovirus encoding (CD19.CAR). D19.CAR gamma retroviral particles were loaded into MASTER and incubated for 3 or 10 days. As shown in FIG. 13A, CAR expression was increased in 22%±1% of T cells at day 3. The T cell phenotype was detected in CA1 cells and remained stable at day 10 (Figure 14). As a key determinant for successful engraftment and persistence of RT cells, MASTE The generated CAR-T cells were analyzed for phenotypic composition and compared with conventional clinical procedures (activated T cells) Spinoculum of cells and retroviruses on retronectin-coated plates The results were compared with CAR-T cells generated using a 3D fusion technique. The cells expressed similar amounts of CD4 + and CD8+ T cells (Figure 13B). MASTER-generated CAR-T cells have a higher CCR7 activity than conventionally generated CAR-T cells. + CD 45RA + Central memory T cells (14.8% vs. 2.57%), CCR7 + CD45 RA + Stem cell-like T cells (21.5% vs. 9.8%) and have lymphocyte homing capacity CCR7 + CD62L + The proportion of T cells (13.1% vs. 2.98%) was higher (Figure 13C , Figure 15). Characterization of the expression of fatigue markers PD-1 and LAG3 on day 12 was performed. However, less than 1% of CAR-T cells generated by either method expressed PD-1 + LAG3 + In addition, we showed that the expression of β-lactamase in three cell types (untransduced cells, MA STER cells and conventionally produced CAR-T cells) all express CD19 + Tumor cells The cells showed comparable proliferation capabilities in response to IFN-α / α-glucose (Figure 13E).
[0134] To evaluate the in vitro antitumor effect, control non-transduced T cells (NT cells) were used. ) and CD19 generated by either MASTER or spinoculation. CAR-T cells were + Target cells (Daudi) and CD19 - Target cells (U93 7) at an effector-to-target ratio (E:T) of 1:5. NT cells were cultured with tumor cells While it did not eliminate any of the inflammatory cytokines produced by MASTER cells or spinoculation, The CD19.CAR-T cells produced + Cells were eliminated, but CD19 - In these co-culture experiments, CD19 cells were not excluded (Fig. 13F, Fig. 16). .CAR-T cells are CD19 + Cells respond to IL-2 and interferon IFN- γ was released (Fig. 13G and 13H). Highly functional CAR-T with improved differentiation phenotype compared to conventionally produced CAR-T cells It is shown that the cells are produced.
[0135] Next, we evaluated whether MASTER releases resident T cells. Then, PBMCs (1 × 10 6 ) onto transwell inserts ( At a given time point, each scaffold was transferred to a new well and placed in the bottom chamber. The MASTER efficiently released cells over a 5-day period. We have demonstrated that the specific migratory properties of activated T cells and their ability to bind to the scaffold are well known (Figure 17). This is likely due to the macroporous structure.
[0136] All-in-one platform for T cell activation, transduction, expansion, and release Motivated by the above results demonstrating the function of MASTER as a marker for MASTER-produced CA The antitumor activity of RT cells was tested in an in vivo xenograft tumor model. Retroviral particles encoding MC and CD19.CAR were seeded and incubated for 1 hour. The mice were then transplanted subcutaneously into NSG mice engrafted with Ffluc-labeled Daudi cells. Tumor-bearing mice treated with conventionally generated CAR-T cells injected intravenously served as positive controls. The mice were subcutaneously implanted with MASTER seeded with PBMCs alone (Figure 18A). Mice injected intravenously with transduced or non-transduced cells served as negative controls. Tumors grew rapidly in mice treated with untransduced cells, whereas MASTER The generated CAR-T cells and conventional intravenously infused CAR-T cells showed a significant difference in body weight. The tumor progression was controlled equally up to day 45 without any changes (Figures 18B-18D, Figure 19). At day 100, intravenous infusion of 4 million conventionally produced CAR-T cells This resulted in a tumor-free survival rate of 16.6%. In contrast, MA with 2 million PBMCs Implantation of STER increased tumor-free survival by 50% (p=0.15, FIG. 18E). The in vivo persistence of CAR-T cells was also examined. On day 32, when the control mice reached the humane endpoint, each of the CAR-T treatment groups Three mice were euthanized and blood, bone marrow (BM), and spleen were collected. CD45 + CD3 + CAR + Surprisingly, MA cells were analyzed (Figure 20). STER-generated CAR-T cells showed nearly 30-fold higher absolute concentration in peripheral blood at day 22. (FIG. 18F) and in the bone marrow and spleen at day 32, the conventional The increase was markedly greater than that of CAR-T cells (Figures 18G and H, Figure 21). In this study, bone marrow-isolated CAR was used because bone marrow is the primary site of lymphoma. + Cells, The expression of fatigue markers PD-1 and LAG3 was further analyzed. The released CAR-T cells were then expanded ex vivo and administered intravenously to the CAR-T cells. The expression of PD-1 and LAG-3 was significantly lower in these tumors compared with the tumors. The results showed that CAR-T cells generated using MASTER were effective in controlling tumor growth. They function similarly to conventional CAR-T cells, but have better spreading and persistence, and are easier to manufacture. This demonstrates a significant reduction in manufacturing time, complexity, and cost.
[0137] In summary, we have addressed one key aspect of CAR-T cell production and delivery: They generated a multifunctional scaffold that was integrated into a single platform, shortening the entire process to one day. The field contains anchor anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 antibodies and mAbs that ensure proper T cell activation and proliferation. The macroporosity promotes uniform distribution of T cells and the transport of viral particles. Fully functionally reprogrammed CAs form an interface for interaction between T cells The MASTER system supports the in vivo release of exogenously seeded RT cells. Instead, MASTER is not limited to local release of CAR-T cells, but instead is highly functional. To provide in situ reprogramming and release of effective CAR-T cells, This is a major improvement over current biomaterials. Furthermore, MASTER has the potential to reprogram other immune cells. or deliver immune modulators to synergistically support cellular function. It is a modular platform technology that can be deployed in a variety of ways.

After incubation with 0.05% CO, the cells were washed with PBS, passed through a 70 μm cell mesh, and then incubated with antibodies. Due to failure to collect cheek blood on day 22, mouse 1 treated with MASTER scaffold was stained. were excluded.
[0151] 3. Example 3: Physical Characteristics of MASTER To better understand the physical characteristics of the MASTER, cross-sections and cross sections of the MASTER were CT images were taken (Figures 23A and 23B). High density indicated by brighter values. Section and cross-sectional images of the (scaffold) area and the dark areas indicating the air hole areas. CT scans are used to separate pores and color-code pores based on size to determine porosity The relative frequency of the various pore sizes was then calculated (Figure 23). C). Nearly 60% of the pores had an average diameter of 101-200 μm. The majority of the cells were smaller than 100 μm in diameter (approximately 25%). Most of the pores had an elongated shape, as determined by the aspect ratio of the pores. The total surface area inside the MASTER was calculated (Figure 23E). Surface area was plotted as a function of volume. By doing so, the internal surface area of the MASTER was set to approximately 810 mm. The nodes of the pores can be displayed as spheres with lines connecting the pores. The more connections there are, the larger the sphere will appear (Figure 23F). 50% of the pores had less than 3, about 28% had 4-6, and 10% had 7-9. (FIG. 23G). Very few pores (about 6%) have more than nine connections.
[0152] a) Method X-ray computed tomography (CT) scans with the Xradia Versa510 The acquisition parameters seen in the table below were used. [Table 1]
[0153] For each sample, a cylindrical volume of 2.50 × 2 mm was scanned. These volumes were used The porosity and pore size of the sample were calculated using the smaller sub-volumes of 10 × 1 mm. We extracted the data and calculated the connectivity between cells. This reduces the size of the calculation and the results. This was done to enhance visualization.
[0154] CT data was uploaded to Dragonfly [Dragonfly 2020.1 [Compu The analysis was performed using Object R esearch Systems (ORS) Inc., Montreal, Canada, 2018 To split the samples, we used histogram thresholding and masking techniques to I created a sample training dataset manually. I created the training data Then, a deep learning image segmentation model called U-net is used. The resulting model was then used to train all the samples. To calculate the connectivity between the pores, we used a method called openPNM. We used an open source package that can
[0155] 4. Example 4: MASTER enhances the immunization of CAR T cells in a tumor rechallenge model Improved tumor control compared with intravenous injection. To see the effect of MASTER on tumor control, we performed lymphoma xenograft Using a single-cell rechallenge model, MASTER was compared to intravenous infusion of CAR T cells. NSG mice were implanted with FFLuc-labeled CD19+ human Daudi tumor cells. Four days after the initial injection, the mice were implanted with MASTER or intravenously infused with CAR T cells. Mice were rechallenged 29 days after transplantation (Figure 24A). , NSG mice treated with conventional CAR-T cells or control non-transduced (NT) cells In vivo tumor bioluminescence imaging (BLI) of NT cells (Figure 24C) Individual mice injected with MASTER (Figure 24D) or CAR T cells (Figure 24E) Tumor growth curves were plotted. Each line represents one individual animal. Finally, the survival rate of each group was The IL-10 expression was plotted over time (Figure 24F). By day 30 post-engraftment, 100% of NT mice had Died (i.e., did not survive long enough to be eligible for rechallenge). All mice that received either an intravenous infusion of MASTER or CAR T cells However, after rechallenge, efficacy of the two groups was comparable. By day 60 (30 days after rechallenge), 50% of the patients in the intravenous injection group had Only 10% of patients survived until day 80, and fewer than 20% survived until day 80. The rapid decline in survival rate of mice was observed for at least 80 days after engraftment (50 days after rechallenge). This is in stark contrast to the MASTER group, which continued to show a 100% survival rate.
[0156] 5. Example 5: Biocompatibility of MASTER The present inventors also investigated the M We attempted to evaluate the biocompatibility of ASTER and its components. + Mouse PBMC + GFP-encoding gamma retrovirus, and untreated control, C57Bl6 / Tissue samples were collected 4 weeks after subcutaneous implantation in immunocompetent mice, and H& The mice's blood was further analyzed (Figure 26). No differences were observed between any of the treatment groups shown.
[0157] 6. Example 6: PBMCs and retrovirus-loaded MASTERs induce proliferation in surrounding host cells Does not transduce cells Next, the PBMCs and retrovirus-loaded MASTER are used to transduce host cells. In vitro Transwell Imaging an In Vivo System Using the model, GFP expression was observed in fibroblasts seeded on the bottom of a transwell plate. Therefore, when MASTER was co-inoculated with PBMC and virus, It was shown that no leakage of PBMCs from the scaffolds occurred (MOI 2). The virus-loaded MASTER does not transduce the host cells.
[0158] 7. Example 7: Lentiviral transduction of adherent cells. To analyze the ability of lentiviral transduction on adherent cells, 1 million cells were placed on dry scaffolds. HEK293T cells were seeded with lentivirus encoding GFP (MOI 2) ( (Figure 28). After 72 hours, cells were isolated from the scaffolds and GFP expression was measured. HEK293 41.3% of T cells expressed GFP. E. References Agarwal S,Weidner T,Thalheimer FB,Buchho lz CJ.In vivo generated human CAR T cell s eradicate tumor cells.Oncoimmunology.2 019;8:e1671761.
