Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention provides two or more immune cells that activate immune cells, the duration of which is dynamically regulated. The present invention relates to a novel adjuvant ensemble containing an activating agent, more specifically, after injection, The first immune activator binds to the receptor and induces the primary immune response, and then the second The immune activators bind to the receptors and sequentially induce an immune response. The present invention relates to an adjuvant ensemble designed to be directed against [Background technology]
[0002] The immune response is initiated by activated immune cells responding to foreign and endogenous substances, i.e. antigens. igen), which is a series of reactions that occur against microorganisms, including bacteria and viruses, and living organisms. When a foreign substance enters the body, immune cells recognize it, become activated, and release cytokines and other What factors are secreted to induce an inflammatory response? Recently, congenital Research into the mechanism of immune response is being actively conducted, and among them, Toll-like receptors ( Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are receptors that can recognize pathogens at the early stage of inflammation. It is a receptor that recognizes plasma membrane components and nucleic acid components of pathogens and induces immune responses. It is known that this can be used to identify various Toll-like receptors to activate immune cells. Ligand (Toll Like Receptor ligand; TLR ligan Research on d) is being actively conducted (U.S. Patent Publication No. 2012-0294885).
[0003] Toll-like receptor agonists are agonists of Toll-like receptors in endosomes, It is known that it effectively induces not only humoral immunity but also cellular immunity. However, such multifunctional Toll-like receptor agonists are insoluble in aqueous solution due to their molecular structure. It is difficult to disperse the cellulose in water. It is also soluble only in special organic solvents such as DMSO and methanol. It is not soluble in commonly used organic solvents, making it suitable for use as an immune activator in a variety of dosage forms. Therefore, it is difficult to produce a cream-type preparation that contains a variety of surfactants. Some studies have shown that In order to overcome these problems, it is prepared in the form of a salt and dissolved in an aqueous solution. However, the toll-like receptor agonist produced in the form of a salt is not effective in vivo. It is absorbed into the bloodstream and causes a systemic immune response in the bloodstream. By inducing cytokine storms, many side effects (e.g., cytokine storms) can be prevented. okine storm, various non-specific hypersensitivity immune reactions, etc.) In addition, due to the problem of side effects, it is practically impossible to treat the disease. In order to use it, you need to treat it at a concentration less than the effective dose. Some pharmaceutical companies have taken measures to address these issues. To overcome this problem, lipids that exhibit lipophilic properties have been introduced, and polymer chains with large sizes have been used. Attempts have also been made to prevent direct absorption into the bloodstream by direct chemical binding. However, the Toll-like receptor agonists produced by such methods Since the active site of the serovar is still exposed to the outside, it is not able to elicit a non-specific immune response in the body. However, there is still the possibility that induction may induce toxicity.
[0004] Various innate immune inducers, including Toll-like receptor agonists, are mixed. It has been consistently reported that when used in combination with other drugs, the effectiveness of the innate immune response is enhanced. Toll-like receptor ligands have different signal transduction pathways in immune activation mechanisms. When used in combination, the immune cell activation ability is higher than when used alone. It has been reported that the increase is 20-50 fold. However, the signals are different from each other. Innate immune inducers that have a signaling system have different mechanisms, so they are processed differently. The order and / or time interval between treatments significantly affected the effectiveness of the immune activation response. However, several innate immune inducers, namely adjuvants, ant) into the body at regular intervals is not only impractical but also The probability that multiple adjuvants stimulate the same immune cells and increase the immune activation effect is so low that it is practically impossible to predict the occurrence of different types of Administering innate immune inducers (asynchronous treatment) ) is not easy.
[0005] Therefore, multiple adjuvants should be administered simultaneously (synchronous treatment), each adjuvant injected into the body is administered at a fixed time interval. By binding to each receptor, it is possible to determine the time interval for immune activation. By optimizing the adjuvant ensemble, we have developed an adjuvant that can maximize the immune activation effect. If released, its use could significantly improve the effectiveness of vaccines. It is expected that this will have a significant ripple effect on the next-generation vaccine market. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

Experimental groups treated with R848, a Toll-like receptor 7 or 8 agonist (R848 af ter poly(I:C)), and R848 was treated first, followed by poly(I:C) at time intervals. The experimental group treated with ly(I:C) (poly(I:C)) after R848), i.e. In other words, asynchronous treatment was implemented. As a control group, cells treated simultaneously with R848 and poly(I:C) were used. The amount of IL-12 secreted during simultaneous treatment was set as the reference point of 100, and the relative values were calculated. In addition, the synchronous treatment group consists of As a control group, R848 and poly(I:C) were treated alone, and R848 and poly(I:C) were treated alone. A control group (R848 + poly(I:C)) was used that was simultaneously treated with poly(I:C). , treated with nanoliposomes containing cholesterol-resiquimod conjugates and poly(I:C). Next, we prepared the experimental group (t-TLR7 / 8a+poly(I:C)) in which the treatment was completed. After that, the cells were cultured for 36 hours to obtain the cell culture medium. After centrifugation at 400 nm for 3 min to separate the cells from the supernatant, the IL-1 The amount of 2 secreted was measured by ELISA, and the results are shown in Figure 11.
[0114] As shown in Figure 11, R848 was treated first, followed by poly(I:C). In the experimental group, the amount of IL-12 secreted was reduced compared to the control group. That is, between Toll-like receptor 3 agonists and Toll-like receptor 7 or 8 agonists. However, on the other hand, when poly(I:C) was first used, In the experimental group treated with R848, the animals were treated with R848 at intervals of 2 to 4 hours. The secretion of IL-12 was increased in the experimental group treated with IL-12 compared with the control group treated at the same time. , which was increased by about 130%. After the first adjuvant is activated, the second adjuvant is activated with a time lag of 2 to 4 hours. It was confirmed that when HUVANT is activated, the immune activation effect is maximized.
[0115] In addition, in the simultaneous treatment experiment, nanoliposomes and poly(I:C) were treated simultaneously. The highest expression of IL-2 was observed in the poly(I:C) group. ) is activated first, followed by cholesterol-toll-like receptor 7 or 8 agonist binding. Nanoliposomes containing the IgG are transported into cells, where cholesterol is sequestered by GILT. This converts resiquimod from an inactive state to an active state, thereby exerting its activity. It was confirmed that the results were the same as those of the experimental group treated at time intervals.
[0116] 14.2. Toll-like receptor 4 agonists and kinetically acting cholesterol Synergy by combination of nanoliposomes containing Toll-like receptor 7 or 8 agonists (Confirmation of effectiveness) To confirm the synergistic effect of the combined adjuvant administration, the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) receptor was activated. LPS, a toll-like receptor 7 or 8 agonist; and resiquimod, a toll-like receptor 7 or 8 agonist. Nanoliposomes containing cholesterol-Toll-like receptor 7 or 8 agonist conjugates were used The experiment was carried out in the same manner as in Example 14.1, and the results are shown in Figure 12.
[0117] As shown in Figure 12, LPS was treated, and R848 was administered at intervals of about 4 hours. The experimental group treated with LP showed the highest amount of IL-12 secretion, and the simultaneous treatment experiment also showed that LP Cholesterol-Toll-like receptor 7 or 8 agonist conjugates that interact dynamically with S The highest amount of IL-12 secretion was observed in the experimental group treated simultaneously with nanoliposomes containing I confirmed that.
[0118] The above results indicate that the order and time lag are important factors in the synergistic effect of adjuvants. In other words, it was confirmed that the combined adjuvant acts as a stimulant for immune activation. In order to increase the effect of inducing activation, activation of each adjuvant is required. Dynamic control that can adjust the timing is important. It was confirmed that.
[0119] [Example 15: Confirmation of immune activation efficacy by adjuvant ensemble] 15.1 Dynamically Acting Cholesterol Toll-Like Receptor 7 or 8 Agonists Nanoliposomes containing a toll-like receptor 3 agonist or toll-like receptor 4 agonist (Confirmation of immune activation efficacy by combination of agonists) Immune activation by combined administration of a primary adjuvant and a kinetically acting secondary adjuvant To confirm efficacy, poly(I:C) or LPS was used as the first adjuvant. As a secondary adjuvant, cholesterol-toll-like receptor 7 or 8 agonists were used. The experiment was carried out using nanoliposomes containing the sucrose conjugate. I:C), R848, containing cholesterol-toll-like receptor 7 or 8 agonist conjugate The control group was administered nanoliposomes containing LPS and R848 alone, while the other group was administered LPS and R848 simultaneously. Experimental group, experimental group administered poly(I:C) and R848 simultaneously, LPS and cholesterol Coadministration of nanoliposomes containing teratoma-toll-like receptor 7 or 8 agonist conjugates The experimental groups were poly(I:C) and cholesterol-Toll-like receptor 7 or 8. After preparing experimental groups in which the nanoliposomes containing the nicotinamide conjugate were administered simultaneously, The obtained cell culture medium was centrifuged at 1,500 rpm for 3 minutes. After isolating the heart and separating it into cells and supernatant, the supernatant was used to extract tumor necrosis The secretion of factors (TNF-α) and IL-6 was measured, and cells were labeled with fluorescent antibodies. Afterwards, dendritic cell co-stimulation was measured using BD CantoII flow cytometry. The expression of the molecule was confirmed to confirm the maturity of the cells. The results are shown in Figures 13 and 14. .
[0120] As shown in FIG. 13, compared with the control group in which each drug was administered alone, In the experimental group, the secretion of TNF-α and IL-6 increased, but the dynamics of the effect were not clear. Nanoliposomes containing cholesterol-Toll-like receptor 7 or 8 agonist conjugates and agonists The experimental group administered adjuvant showed significantly higher secretion of TNF-α and IL-6. I confirmed that.
[0121] Also, as shown in FIG. 14, the dynamic cholesterol-toll-like receptor Experimental group administered nanoliposomes containing 7 or 8 agonist conjugates in combination with adjuvant We confirmed that the expression level of costimulatory molecules was highest in
[0122] Based on the above results, it was found that the drug remained in an inactive state immediately after administration, and then after 2 to 4 hours, it was found to be inactivated. The combination of a kinetically controllable adjuvant and a general adjuvant to induce a specific immune response was used. By administering the adjuvants, the effect was significantly improved compared to the simple administration of each adjuvant in combination. It was confirmed that the immunoactivating effect was significantly increased.

The nutrient solution was centrifuged at 1,500 rpm for 3 minutes to separate the cells from the supernatant, and the supernatant was The secretion levels of IL-12, IL-6, and TNF-α were determined using ELISA. The results are shown in Figure 15.
[0124] As shown in Figure 15, poly(I:C) or LPS and R848 were simultaneously treated. In the experimental group, the amount of secreted cytokines at 24 and 36 hours in all samples was Similar or decreased responses were observed in the presence of poly(I:C) or LPS and leucine-like All experimental groups were simultaneously treated with nanoliposomes containing receptor 7 or 8 agonists. The amount of cytokines secreted after 36 hours was significantly higher than that secreted after 24 hours in the same sample. The results confirmed that the amount of cyclooxygenase (CD) increased by 100 mg / kg / day. It has been shown that a sustained immune response can be induced by combined administration of an adjuvant and a first adjuvant. We were able to confirm that:

Efficacy of adjuvant complexes in inducing sustained immune responses in tumor-draining lymph nodes (Check the performance) The adjuvant complex prepared in the same manner as in Example 16.1 was used to investigate the effect of the adjuvant complex on tumor-draining lymph nodes. To confirm the efficacy of inducing immune responses, R848 (25 μg), p poly(I:C) (6.25 μg), or the same amount of R848 and poly(I:C) The adjuvant complex containing the SIINFEKL antigen was mixed with the SIINFEKL antigen and administered subcutaneously as a single inoculation. Lymph nodes were excised 6, 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours after inoculation, and the excised lymph nodes were The sections were suspended in cell lysis buffer (CellLytic MT cell lysis). The cell-disrupted solution was centrifuged at 10,000xg for 10 minutes at 4°C. The supernatant was then separated to remove impurities. The amount of IL-12p70 present in the cells was confirmed by ELISA, and the results are shown in Figure 18.
[0131] As shown in FIG. 18, the control group treated simultaneously with R848 and poly(I:C) showed The secretion of IL-12p70 in lymph nodes decreased after 12 hours of treatment with the adjuvant complex. The experimental group was found to secrete IL-12p70 continuously for up to 48 hours. The results show that the kinetically acting adjuvant complex is composed of a first adjuvant and a second adjuvant. It has been confirmed that adjuvant induces a sustained immune response in the body because it acts at different times I was able to do it.
[0132] 17.2. Confirmation of Antitumor Efficacy of Adjuvant Complexes To confirm the antitumor efficacy of the adjuvant complex prepared in the same manner as in Example 16.1 5 × 10 B16OVA melanoma cells were cultured in a 10-well plate. 5 The cells were subcutaneously inoculated into the right flank of mice.

In addition, it was confirmed that CD4 + T cells, CD8 + T cells, natural killer cells (Natural Killer cell; NK cell) and Natural Killer cell In natural killer T cells, expression of CD69 is induced. Myeloid derived suppressor cells, which represent immune inhibitory cells, were It was confirmed that the production of MDSCs was suppressed. Through this, the adjuvant complex of the present invention suppresses T cell exhaustion in vivo. This not only enhances the immune activation effect but also prolongs the duration of the immune response. This shows a significantly higher immunomodulatory effect than simply administering an adjuvant in combination. We were able to confirm that this was the case.
[0136] In addition, to confirm the cytokines secreted in tumor and lymph node tissues, The tumor tissue was then lysed in CellLytic MT cell lysis buffer. The cells were suspended in 100 ml of ethanol and then mechanically disrupted. Then, the cells were centrifuged at 10,000xg for 10 minutes at 4°C.
