Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of immunotherapy, and particularly relates to specific T cells for preventing or treating cancer, a method for preparing the same, and their applications.
Background Art
[0002] Immune cells refer to cells involved in or related to immune responses, such as natural lymphocytes, various phagocytes, and lymphocytes that can recognize antigens and trigger specific immune responses (e.g., T cells, B cells, NK cells, DC cells, macrophages, granulocytes, mast cells, etc.). Autologous immune cell therapy is used to fight tumors by separating and culturing immune cells from one's own blood. By replenishing highly active immune cells, the number of immune cells in the body increases, and the original immune cells in the body are activated. As a result, the ability of immune cells to kill tumor cells, bacteria, viruses, etc. is greatly improved, and the goals of cancer prevention and anti-cancer are achieved.
[0003] In the previous application CN202011027741.0 by the invention team of the present application, a detection method capable of detecting T cells activated by nanoparticles carrying tumor components of a patient was disclosed. However, this application is a detection method rather than a treatment method, does not select or amplify activated T cells, does not require a reinjection step in the body, and in the detection process, although it is necessary to fix and stain T cells, it cannot provide corresponding active T cells. Therefore, there is no report in the prior art regarding carrying tumor antigens on nanoparticles to activate and concentrate specific types of T cells and exert a tumor treatment effect.
[0004] Cancer patients, especially those with low physical ability, have few cancer-specific T cells with low activity. Therefore, their cancer-specific T cells have problems such as being difficult to activate, slow to proliferate, having a long culture cycle, and low cell survival rate, which affect antitumor immunotherapy. The present invention further stimulates cancer-specific T cells that recognize cancer cells through tumor antigens and have the function of killing cancer cells in vitro, selects, separates, and amplifies them on a large scale, and then reinjects them into the patient. By reinjecting cancer-specific T cells, an effective method for preventing cancer occurrence, preventing cancer metastasis, and treating cancer is achieved.
[0005] The technical content such as the activation of tumor-specific T cells by nanoparticles disclosed in Chinese Patent Application (202011027741.0) is an essential component of the present invention.

For example, the stirring speed is 50 rpm to 1500 rpm, and the stirring time is 0.5 hour to 5 hours. In the case of ultrasonic treatment, the ultrasonic output is 50 W to 500 W, and the time exceeds 0.1 second, for example, it is 2 to 200 seconds.

Nanosizing or microparticulation is performed by ultrasonic or stirring or homogenization treatment or microfluidic treatment. The length of the ultrasonic treatment time, or the stirring speed, or the pressure and time of homogenization can control the size of the nanoparticles and microparticles to be prepared. If it is too large or too small, the particle size will change.
[0235] In the present invention, the aqueous emulsifier solution is an aqueous polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) solution, the third predetermined volume is 5 mL, and the third predetermined concentration is 20 mg / mL. The third predetermined volume is adjusted according to the ratio to the second predetermined volume. In the present invention, the range between the second predetermined volume and the third predetermined volume is set to 1:1.1 to 1:1000, and preferably can be 2:5. In order to control the size of nanoparticles or microparticles during a specific implementation, the ratio between the second predetermined volume and the third predetermined volume can be adjusted. Similarly, the ultrasonic treatment time or stirring time, the volume and concentration of the aqueous emulsifier solution in this step are all based on obtaining nanoparticles or microparticles of an appropriate size.
[0236] Step 4: Add the liquid obtained after the treatment in Step 3 to an aqueous solution with a fourth predetermined volume containing an emulsifier with a fourth predetermined concentration, and stir until the predetermined stirring conditions are satisfied.

[0261] In the present invention, PLGA or modified PLGA is selected because the material is a biodegradable material and its use as a pharmaceutical dressing has been approved by the FDA. Research has shown that PLGA has specific immunomodulatory functions and is thus suitable as an excipient in the preparation of nanoparticles or microparticles.
[0262] Actually, the second predetermined volume of the organic phase is set according to the ratio to the first predetermined volume of the aqueous phase. In the present invention, the range of the ratio of the first predetermined volume of the aqueous phase to the second predetermined volume of the organic phase is 1:1.1 to 1:5000, preferably 1:10. During the specific implementation process, the first predetermined volume, the second predetermined volume, and the ratio of the first predetermined volume to the second predetermined volume can be adjusted as needed to adjust the size of the prepared nanoparticles or microparticles.
[0263] Preferably, when the aqueous phase solution is the lysate component solution, the concentration of the protein and polypeptide exceeds 1 ng / mL, preferably 1 mg / mL to 100 mg / mL.

The length of the ultrasonic treatment time, or the stirring speed, or the pressure and time of homogenization can control the size of the prepared microparticles and nanoparticles. If it is too large or too small, the particle size will change.
[0265] Step 3: Add the mixture obtained after the treatment in Step 2 to an aqueous solution with a third predetermined volume containing an emulsifier at a third predetermined concentration, and perform ultrasonic treatment for 2 seconds or more, or stirring for 1 minute or more, or homogenization treatment, or microfluidic treatment. In this step, the mixture obtained in Step 2 is added to the aqueous emulsifier solution, and ultrasonic treatment or stirring is continued to perform nanosizing or microparticulation. This step is executed for nanosizing or microparticulation. The length of the ultrasonic treatment time or the speed and time of stirring can control the sizes of the microparticles and nanoparticles to be prepared. If it is too large or too small, the particle size will change. Therefore, it is necessary to select an appropriate ultrasonic treatment time. In the present invention, the ultrasonic treatment time exceeds 0.1 second, for example, it is 2 to 200 seconds, the stirring speed exceeds 50 rpm, for example, it is 50 rpm to 500 rpm, and the stirring time exceeds 1 minute, for example, it is 60 to 6000 seconds.

In the case of homogenization treatment, when using a high-pressure / ultra-high-pressure homogenizer, the pressure exceeds 20 psi, for example, it is 20 psi to 100 psi. When using a high-shear homogenizer, the rotation speed exceeds 100 rpm, for example, it is 1000 rpm to 5000 rpm. When using microfluidic treatment, the flow rate exceeds 0.01 mL / min, for example, it is 0.1 mL / min to 1000 mL / min. Nanosizing or microparticulation is performed by ultrasonic treatment, or stirring, or homogenization treatment, or microfluidic treatment. The length of the ultrasonic treatment time, or the stirring speed, or the pressure and time of homogenization can control the sizes of the nanoparticles and microparticles to be prepared. If it is too large or too small, the particle size will change.
[0266] In the present invention, the aqueous emulsifier solution is an aqueous polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) solution. The third predetermined volume is 5 mL, and the third predetermined concentration is 20 mg / mL. The third predetermined volume is adjusted according to the ratio to the second predetermined volume. In the present invention, the range between the second predetermined volume and the third predetermined volume is set to 1:1.1 to 1:1000, and preferably can be 2:5. In order to control the size of nanoparticles or microparticles during a specific implementation, the ratio between the second predetermined volume and the third predetermined volume can be adjusted. Similarly, the ultrasonic treatment time or stirring time, the volume and concentration of the aqueous emulsifier solution in this step are all based on obtaining nanoparticles or microparticles of an appropriate size.
[0267] Step 4: Add the liquid obtained after the treatment in Step 3 to an aqueous solution with a fourth predetermined volume containing an emulsifier at a fourth predetermined concentration, and stir until the predetermined stirring conditions are met, or the next treatment can be directly performed without stirring.
[0268] In this step, the aqueous emulsifier solution is still PVA.
[0269] The fourth predetermined concentration is 5 mg / mL, and the selection of the fourth predetermined concentration is based on obtaining nanoparticles or microparticles of an appropriate size. The selection of the fourth predetermined volume is determined based on the ratio between the third predetermined volume and the fourth predetermined volume. In the present invention, the range of the ratio between the third predetermined volume and the fourth predetermined volume is set to 1:1.5 to 1:2000, and preferably is 1:10. In order to control the size of nanoparticles or microparticles during a specific implementation, the ratio between the third predetermined volume and the fourth predetermined volume can be adjusted.
[0270] In the present invention, the predetermined stirring conditions in this step are that the volatilization of the organic solvent is completed, that is, the volatilization of dichloromethane in Step 1 is completed. The subsequent experiment can also be performed without stirring.
[0271] Step 5: After the treatment in Step 4, centrifuge the mixed solution that meets the predetermined stirring conditions at a rotation speed exceeding 100 RPM for 1 minute or more, remove the supernatant, and resuspend the remaining precipitate in a fifth predetermined volume of a solution containing water-soluble and / or water-insoluble components in the whole cell components at a fifth predetermined concentration, or resuspend the remaining precipitate in a fifth predetermined volume of a solution containing a mixture of water-soluble and / or water-insoluble components in the whole cell components at a fifth predetermined concentration and an adjuvant.
[0272] Step 6: After the treatment in Step 5, centrifuge the mixed solution that meets the predetermined stirring conditions at a rotation speed exceeding 100 RPM for 1 minute or more, remove the supernatant, and resuspend the remaining precipitate in a sixth predetermined volume of a solidification treatment reagent or a mineralization treatment reagent, allow it to act for a certain period, then centrifuge and wash, and then add a seventh predetermined volume of a positively charged substance or a negatively charged substance and allow it to act for a certain period.
[0273] In some embodiments of the present invention, after resuspending the precipitate obtained in Step 6 in a seventh predetermined volume of the charged substance, it is not necessary to perform freeze-drying, and subsequent experiments regarding the loading of cancer cell / tissue lysates onto the surface of the nanoparticles or microparticles can be directly carried out.
[0274] In some embodiments of the present invention, after resuspending the precipitate obtained in Step 6 in an aqueous solution containing a cryoprotectant, perform room temperature vacuum drying or freeze vacuum drying. After drying, conduct subsequent experiments regarding the adsorption of cancer cell lysates onto the surface of the nanoparticles or microparticles.
[0275] In the present invention, the cryoprotectant is selected from trehalose or a mixture of mannitol and sucrose. In the present invention, the fifth predetermined concentration of the cryoprotectant in this step is set to 4% by mass percentage because it does not affect the drying effect during subsequent drying.
[0276] Step 7: After drying the suspension containing the cryoprotectant obtained in Step 6, obtain a dried substance for use.
[0277] Step 8: Resuspend in the PBS (or physiological saline) obtained in Step 6 to obtain an eighth predetermined volume of suspension containing nanoparticles, or use the eighth predetermined volume of PBS (or physiological saline) to resuspend the dried nanoparticles or microparticles obtained in Step 7 and the dried substance containing the cryoprotectant, and use it directly, or mix it with a ninth predetermined volume of water-soluble component or water-insoluble component and then use it.
[0278] In the present invention, the modification steps of Steps 5 to 8 and the antigen loading step can be repeated multiple times to improve the antigen loading amount. Also, when adding a positively or negatively charged substance, substances with the same charge can be added multiple times, or substances with different charges can be added alternately.
[0279] In some embodiments, when the volume of the resuspended nanoparticle suspension is 10 mL, the volume of the water-soluble component in the lysate containing cancer cells or the lysate containing tumor tissue, or the original water-insoluble component, is 0.1 to 100 mL. In actual use, the two volumes and ratios can be adjusted as needed.
[0280] In the present invention, the water-soluble component or the original water-insoluble component containing the cancer cell lysate or tumor tissue lysate used contains poly(I:C), manganese adjuvant, live vaccine for tuberculosis prevention (BCG), or CpG, and the concentration of poly(I:C), calcium adjuvant, BCG, or CpG exceeds 0.01 ng / mL.
[0281] Furthermore, during the preparation of the nanoparticles or microparticles described in the present invention, when activating cancer-specific T cells in vitro, nanoparticles and / or microparticles carrying only the water-soluble component and nanoparticles and / or microparticles carrying only the water-insoluble component can be used simultaneously, or nanoparticles and / or microparticles carrying only the water-soluble component can be used, nanoparticles and / or microparticles carrying only the water-insoluble component can be used, or nanoparticles and / or microparticles carrying both the water-soluble component and the water-insoluble component can be used.
[0282] After preparing nanoparticles or microparticles carrying tumor antigens by any method, the nanoparticles or microparticles are co-incubated with antigen-presenting cells and T cells simultaneously to activate cancer cell-specific T cells. Alternatively, nanoparticles and / or microparticles carrying tumor antigen components are first co-incubated with antigen-presenting cells to activate the antigen-presenting cells, and then the activated antigen-presenting cells alone are co-incubated with T cells to activate cancer cell-specific T cells.
[0283] Before co-incubating T cells with nanoparticles / microparticles and antigen-presenting cells, T cells alone can be cultured in a quiescent state for a certain period, or appropriately sorted. Alternatively, before co-incubating T cells with activated antigen-presenting cells, T cells alone can be cultured in a quiescent state for a certain period, or appropriately sorted.
[0284] After nanoparticles and / or microparticles carrying tumor antigen components are co-incubated with antigen-presenting cells, the antigen-presenting cells are activated, and the antigen-presenting cells that do not require special treatment can be co-incubated with T cells to activate specific T cells. Alternatively, after performing treatments such as fixation, radiation, irradiation, modification, inactivation, and mineralization on the antigen-presenting cells, the antigen-presenting cells can be co-incubated with T cells to activate specific T cells.
[0285] After cancer cell-specific T cells are activated, cell separation methods such as flow cytometry or magnetic bead sorting are used to select the activated cancer cell-specific T cells from the incubated cells. Next, after amplifying the cancer cell-specific T cells in vitro for a certain period, the amplified cancer cell-specific T cells are used for cancer prevention or treatment.
[0286] When selecting activated cancer cell-specific T cells, either one activation marker by which the T cells are activated or a combination of one or more different markers can be used as the activation marker.
[0287] Molecules that can be used as surface markers include, but are not limited to, any one or any combination of CD69, CD137, CD25, CD134, CD80, CD86, OX40L, OX40, CD28, FAS-L, IL-2R, HLA-DR, CD127 (IL-7R), CD150, CD107A, CD83, CD166, CD39, CD178, CD212, CD229, CD100, CD107b, CD108, CD109, CD113, CD122, CD126, CD253, CD197, PD-1, TIM3, LAG-3, TIGIT, CD62L, CD70, CTLA-4 (CD152), CD27, CD26, CD30, TNFRSF9, CD74, PD-L1 (CD274), CD258, CD261, 4-1BB, CD154, ICAM-1, LFA-1, LFA-2, VLA-4, CD160, CD71, CXCR3, TNFRSF14, TNFRSF18, TNFSF4, TNFSF9, TNFSF14, CD11a, CD101, CD48, CD244, CD49a, CD95, CD44, CXCR1, CD103, CD45RO, ICOS (CD278), VTCN1, HLA2, LGAL59, CCR7, CD357, BCL6, TCF-1, CD38, CD27, etc.
[0288] Hereinafter, the present invention will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific examples so that those skilled in the art can better understand and implement the present invention, but these examples are not intended to limit the present invention.
Examples
[0289] Example 1, Separation and Amplification of T Cells for Melanoma Prevention In this example, mouse melanoma is used as a cancer model to explain how to use nanoparticles to separate and amplify peripheral cancer cell-specific T cells for cancer prevention. In this example, the tumor tissue of B16F10 melanoma is lysed to prepare the water-soluble component and water-insoluble component of the tumor tissue. Next, the organic polymer material PLGA is used as the nanoparticle skeleton material, and polyinosinic acid-polycytidylic acid (poly(I:C)) is used as an immunoadjuvant. The water-soluble component and water-insoluble component of the tumor tissue are prepared by the solvent evaporation method. Subsequently, the nanoparticles assist in the separation of cancer cell-specific T cells in the organ, amplify the separated cancer cell-specific T cells, and then reinject them into the body to prevent melanoma. In this example, immune cells in the peripheral spleen cells of mice are used, and in actual applications, peripheral blood or peripheral lymph node cells can be directly used.
[0290] (1) Preparation of antigen component 1.5×10 5 B16F10 cells are subcutaneously inoculated into the back of each C57BL / 6 mouse. When the tumor volume reaches about 1000 mm 3 , the mouse is sacrificed and the tumor tissue is removed. After cutting the tumor tissue into small pieces, it is ground and passed through a cell filter to prepare a single-cell suspension of the tumor tissue (containing cancer cells). Next, an appropriate amount of pure water is added to the single-cell suspension of the tumor tissue, and freezing and thawing are repeated 5 times. In some cases, ultrasonic waves may also be used in combination to disrupt the lysed cells. After lysing the cells, the lysate is centrifuged at a rotation speed of 5000 g for 5 minutes, and the supernatant is taken as the water-soluble component. 8 M urea aqueous solution (containing 500 mM sodium chloride) is added to the obtained precipitate to dissolve the precipitate, whereby the water-insoluble component insoluble in pure water can be solubilized in 8 M urea aqueous solution. The above is the antigen component for preparing nanoparticles.
[0291] (2) Preparation of nanoparticles In this example, nanoparticles are prepared by the double emulsion method in the solvent evaporation method. During the preparation, nanoparticles carrying water-soluble components in the whole cell components and nanoparticles carrying water-insoluble components in the whole cell components are prepared separately and then used in combination during use. The molecular weight of PLGA, which is the material for preparing the nanoparticles used, is 24KDa to 38KDa, and the immunoadjuvant used is poly(I:C). The preparation method is as described above. In the preparation process, first, the double emulsion method is used to carry the antigen component and the adjuvant in the nanoparticles. Next, 100 mg of the nanoparticles are centrifuged at 10,000 g for 20 minutes, resuspended using ultrapure water (10 mL) containing 4% trehalose, and then freeze-dried for 48 hours. The average particle size of the nanoparticles is about 280 nm, the surface potential of the nanoparticles is about -3 mV, about 100 μg of protein or polypeptide component is carried per 1 mg of the PLGA nanoparticles, and 0.02 mg of poly(I:C) is carried per 1 mg of the PLGA nanoparticles. The materials and methods for preparing the blank nanoparticles are the same, and the particle size is about 260 nm. When preparing the blank nanoparticles, pure water containing the same amount of poly(I:C) or 8 M urea is used respectively to replace the corresponding water-soluble component and water-insoluble component.
[0292] (3) Selection and amplification of cancer-specific T cells 0.5×10 5 Individual B16F10 cells are subcutaneously inoculated into the back of each C57BL / 6 mouse. When the tumor reaches about 1000 mm 3 , the mouse is sacrificed, the mouse spleen is removed, a single cell suspension of mouse spleen cells is prepared, and erythrocyte lysis treatment is performed to remove erythrocytes from the single cell suspension. First, the above cells are sequentially co-incubated with a T cell magnetic bead selection reagent (CD3+ magnetic bead selection reagent, CD8 + magnetic bead selection reagent) or a B cell magnetic bead selection reagent, and then a magnetic bead selection device is used to select CD3 + CD8 + T cells and CD19 + B cells from mouse spleen cells.
[0293] In the one-step selection control group, CD3 selected above + CD8 + T cells (10,000 cells, cell viability 60%) were incubated with IL-2 (500 U / mL), IL-7 (200 U / mL), IL-15 (200 U / mL), and αCD3 / αCD28 (10 ng / mL) in 10 mL of RPMI1640 complete medium at 37 °C (5% CO 2 ) for 12 days (changing the medium containing the above cytokines and antibodies every 3 days) and co-incubated to amplify the obtained CD8 + T cells (cell viability 60%).
[0294] In the two-step selection method, 1 million selected CD8 + T cells and 10 million B cells were co-incubated with nanoparticles carrying the whole component antigen of tumor tissue (250 μg of nanoparticles carrying water-soluble components + 250 μg of nanoparticles carrying water-insoluble components) or blank nanoparticles (500 μg) + the same amount of free cell lysate in 10 mL of DMEM high-glucose complete medium for 96 hours. Next, the incubated cells were sequentially co-incubated with CD3 + T cell magnetic bead selection reagent, CD8 + T cell magnetic bead selection reagent, and CD69 magnetic bead selection reagent, and selected accordingly. Using the magnetic bead selection method, CD3 in the incubated T cells, which are cancer-specific T cells activated by cancer antigens + CD8 + CD69 + T cells (cell viability 60%) were selected. 10,000 cancer-specific T cells selected above were co-incubated with IL-2 (500 U / mL), IL-7 (200 U / mL), IL-15 (200 U / mL), αCD3 / αCD28 (10 ng / mL) in RPMI1640 complete medium at 37 °C (5% CO 2 ) for 12 days (changing the medium containing the above cytokines and antibodies every 3 days) and co-incubated to amplify the selected cancer cell-specific T cells (cell viability 60%).
[0295] CD8 amplified by the one-step selection method of the control group +500,000 T cells, or 500,000 cancer-specific T cells amplified by a two-step selection method, were co-incubated with 2 million B cells and nanoparticles carrying whole cell components (30 μg of nanoparticles carrying water-soluble components + 30 μg of nanoparticles carrying water-insoluble components) in 3 mL of DMEM high-glucose complete medium for 48 hours. Next, the incubated cells were collected and labeled using CD3 antibody, CD8 antibody, and IFN-γ antibody equipped with different fluorescent probes. Then, the CD8 + CD8 against T cells + IFN-γ + ratio in the cells amplified after one-step selection and two-step selection was analyzed using flow cytometry. The cancer cell antigen carried by the nanoparticles can be degraded into antigen epitopes after being engulfed by antigen-presenting cells (B cells), can be presented on the surface of antigen-presenting cells, and specific T cells capable of recognizing the cancer cell antigen are activated after recognizing the cancer cell antigen epitope and can secrete killer cytokines. IFN-γ is the most important cytokine secreted by antigen-specific T cells activated after recognizing an antigen. However, since it is a secreted cytokine, it is necessary to fix the cells by adding 4% paraformaldehyde, then disrupt the membrane with a membrane-disrupting agent, and then stain the inside of the cells using an antibody (the cells after analysis are dead cells), and the cells fixed with paraformaldehyde are four cells. The CD8 + IFN-γ + T cells (cell viability 0%) are cancer-specific T cells that can specifically recognize cancer cell antigen epitopes.
[0296] (4) Cancer-specific T cells for cancer prevention To prepare melanoma tumor-bearing mice, female C57BL / 6 mice aged 6 - 8 weeks were selected as model mice. One day before transplanting cells into the mice, to remove the recipient mice's immune cells, cyclophosphamide was intraperitoneally injected into the recipient mice at a dose of 100 mg / kg. Next, 2 million cancer cell-specific T cells prepared by the two-step screening method in step (3), or 2 million CD3 + T cells amplified by the one-step screening method were intravenously injected into the recipient mice. The next day, 1.5×10 5 B16F10 cells were subcutaneously inoculated under the lower right back of each recipient mouse. The tumor growth rate and survival period of the mice were monitored. In the experiment, the size of the mouse tumor volume was recorded every 3 days starting from the 3rd day. The tumor volume was calculated using the formula v = 0.52×a×b 2 , where v is the tumor volume, a is the tumor length, and b is the tumor width. According to the ethics of animal experiments, in the experiment of the mouse survival period, when the tumor volume exceeded 2000 mm 3 , the mice were considered dead and euthanized.
[0297] (5) Experimental results As shown in a and b of Figure 2, the mice in the PBS control group had the fastest tumor growth rate and the shortest survival period. The tumor growth rate and survival period of the mice in the T cell treatment groups obtained by the one-step screening method and the T cell treatment group obtained by blank nanoparticle-assisted screening and amplification were improved compared with the PBS control group. Compared with the above three groups, the mice treated with cancer cell-specific T cells obtained by the assisted screening and amplification of nanoparticles carrying all cell components of cancer cells had the slowest tumor growth rate and the longest survival period, indicating that the cell line treated by the screening and amplification described in the present invention has a good preventive effect against cancer.
[0298] As shown in c of FIG. 2, the cancer cell-specific T cells obtained by the two-step selection method were co-incubated with nanoparticles carrying all cell components of antigen-presenting cells and cancer cells, and then recognized almost 100% of cancer cell antigens and could be activated by cancer antigens. However, in the T cells obtained by amplification of the one-step selection method, after co-incubation, CD8 + IFN-γ + T cells accounted for less than 5% of CD8 + T cells. As can be seen from this, the selection method described in the present invention can effectively enrich cancer cell-specific T cells having a killing ability.
[0299] In this example, surface markers are used as markers for T cell activation, but in actual applications, combinations of one or more different markers can also be used as activation markers.
[0300] Example 2. Isolation and amplification of peripheral cancer cell-specific T cells for the prevention of melanoma In this example, the tumor tissue of B16F10 melanoma was lysed to prepare water-soluble components and water-insoluble components of the tumor tissue. Next, an organic polymer material was used as a nanoparticle skeleton material, and poly(I:C) and CpG1018 were used as immunoadjuvants to prepare water-soluble components and water-insoluble components of the tumor tissue by the solvent evaporation method. Subsequently, nanoparticles were used to select and amplify peripheral cancer cell-specific T cells. In this example, immune cells in the peripheral spleen cells of mice were used, and in actual applications, peripheral blood or peripheral lymph node cells can be used.
[0301] (1) Preparation of antigen components 1.5×10 5 Individual B16F10 cells were subcutaneously inoculated into the back of each C57BL / 6 mouse, and when the tumor reached about 1000 mm 3When this occurs, the mouse is sacrificed and the tumor tissue is excised. After cutting the tumor tissue into small pieces, it is ground, passed through a cell filter to prepare a single cell suspension, and then an appropriate amount of pure water is added. Freezing and thawing are repeated 5 times, and sometimes ultrasonic waves are also used in combination to disrupt the lysed cells. After lysing the cells, the lysate is centrifuged at a rotational speed of 5000 g for 5 minutes, and the supernatant is taken as the water-soluble component soluble in pure water. 8 M urea is added to the obtained precipitate portion to dissolve the precipitate portion, whereby the water-insoluble component insoluble in pure water can be solubilized in an 8 M urea aqueous solution. The above is the antigen component for preparing the nanoparticles.
[0302] (2) Preparation of Nanoparticles In this example, nanoparticles and blank nanoparticles as a control are prepared by the solvent evaporation method. During preparation, nanoparticles carrying the water-soluble components in the whole cell components and nanoparticles carrying the water-insoluble components in the whole cell components are prepared separately and then used in combination during use. The molecular weight of PLGA, which is the preparation material of the nanoparticles used, is 7 KDa to 17 KDa, and the immunoadjuvants used are poly(I:C) and CpG1018. The preparation method is as described above. In the preparation process, first, the double emulsion method is used to carry the antigen component and the adjuvant in the nanoparticles, and then 100 mg of the nanoparticles are centrifuged at 10000 g for 20 minutes, resuspended using ultrapure water (10 mL) containing 4% trehalose, and then freeze-dried for 48 hours. The average particle size of the nanoparticles is about 280 nm, the surface potential of the nanoparticles is about -3 mV, about 100 μg of protein or polypeptide component is carried per 1 mg of PLGA nanoparticles, and 0.02 mg of poly(I:C) and CpG1018 are carried respectively. The preparation materials and preparation methods of the blank nanoparticles are the same, the particle size is about 260 nm, and the same amount of adjuvant is carried in the blank nanoparticles, but no arbitrary antigen component is carried.
[0303] (3) Isolation and Amplification of Cancer-Specific T Cells 1.5×10 5Individual B16F10 cells were subcutaneously inoculated into the back of each C57BL / 6 mouse. On the 4th, 7th, 10th, 15th, 20th, 25th, and 30th days, 1 mg of PLGA nanoparticles carrying water-soluble components and 1 mg of PLGA nanoparticles carrying water-insoluble components were subcutaneously injected into the mice respectively. On the 34th day, the mice were sacrificed, the spleens of the mice were collected, a single cell suspension of mouse spleen cells was prepared, and the above cells were co-incubated with a T cell magnetic bead sorting reagent and a B cell magnetic bead sorting reagent respectively, and sequentially sorted. CD3 + T cells and CD19 + B cells were sequentially sorted.
[0304] In the one-step sorting control group, 1 million CD3 + T cells were incubated with IL-2 (500 U / mL), IL-7 (200 U / mL), IL-15 (200 U / mL), and αCD3 / αCD28 (10 ng / mL each) in 10 mL of RPMI1640 complete medium at 37 °C (5% CO 2 ) for 14 days (changing the medium containing the above cytokines and antibodies every 2 days) and co-incubated to amplify the obtained T cells (cell viability 65%).
[0305] In the two-step sorting method, 5 million CD3 + T cells and 10 million B cells were co-incubated with nanoparticles carrying whole tumor tissue component antigens (250 μg of nanoparticles carrying water-soluble components + 250 μg of nanoparticles carrying water-insoluble components) or blank nanoparticles (500 μg) + the same amount of free antigen component in 10 mL of RPMI1640 complete medium for 48 hours. Then, the incubated cells were co-incubated with the reagent in the magnetic bead sorting method, and using flow cytometry, CD3 among the incubated T cells, which are cancer-specific T cells (cell viability 65%) activated by cancer antigens + CD137 +Select T cells. The cancer cell-specific T cells (1 million) selected above are incubated with IL-2 (500 U / mL), IL-7 (200 U / mL), IL-15 (200 U / mL), αCD3 / αCD28 (10 ng / mL each) and 10 mL of RPMI1640 complete medium (37 °C, 5% CO 2 ) for 14 days (replace the medium containing the above cytokines and antibodies every 2 days) to co-incubate and amplify the selected cancer cell-specific T cells (cell viability 65%).
[0306] T cells (500,000) amplified by the one-step selection method in the control group, or cancer cell-specific T cells (500,000) amplified by the two-step selection method are co-incubated with B cells (2 million) and nanoparticles (60 μg) carrying whole cell components in 3 mL of RPMI1640 complete medium for 48 hours. Next, the incubated cells are collected, and CD3 antibodies, CD8 antibodies and IFN-γ antibodies with different fluorescent probes are used simultaneously to label the incubated cells. Then, using flow cytometry, CD3 in the cells amplified after one-step selection and two-step selection + CD3 against T cells + IFN-γ + The ratio of T cells is analyzed. CD3 obtained by the analysis of flow cytometry + IFN-γ + T cells (cell viability 0%) are cancer cell-specific T cells that can specifically recognize cancer cell antigens.
[0307] (4) Cancer cell-specific T cells for cancer prevention To prepare melanoma tumor-bearing mice, 6- to 8-week-old female C57BL / 6 mice are selected as model mice. One day before adoptively transferring cells to the mice, to remove the immune cells of the recipient mice, cyclophosphamide is intraperitoneally injected into the recipient mice at a dose of 100 mg / kg. Next, 2 million cancer cell-specific T cells obtained by the two-step selection and amplification in step (3), or 2 million T cells amplified after one-step selection are intravenously injected into the recipient mice. The next day, 1.5×10 5Inject individual B16F10 cells subcutaneously into the lower right back of each recipient mouse. The method for monitoring the tumor growth rate and survival period of the mouse is the same as described above.
[0308] (5) Experimental results As shown in FIGS. 3a and 3b, the mice in the PBS control group had the fastest tumor growth rate and the shortest survival period. The tumor growth rate and survival period of the mice in the T cell treatment group obtained by the one-step selection method and the T cell treatment group obtained by blank nanoparticle-assisted selection were improved compared with the PBS control group. Compared with the above three groups, the mice treated with cancer cell-specific T cells obtained by the selection and amplification of nanoparticles carrying the whole cell antigen component had the slowest tumor growth rate and the longest survival period, indicating that the cell line treated by the selection and amplification described in the present invention has a good preventive effect against cancer.
[0309] As shown in FIG. 3c, the cancer cell-specific T cells obtained by the two-step selection method, after being co-incubated with antigen-presenting cells and nanoparticles carrying the whole cell components of cancer cells, recognized almost 100% of the cancer cell antigens and could be activated by the cancer cell antigens. However, for the T cells obtained by the amplification of the one-step selection method, after co-incubation, the CD3 + IFN-γ + T cells only accounted for less than 5% of the CD3 + T cells. As can be seen from this, the selection method described in the present invention can effectively enrich cancer cell-specific T cells with killing ability.
[0310] Example 3. Cancer cell-specific T cells after separation and amplification for melanoma treatment In this example, first, the tumor tissue and cancer cells of B16F10 melanoma are lysed to prepare a water-soluble component mixture (mass ratio 1:1) and a water-insoluble component mixture (mass ratio 1:1) of the tumor tissue and cancer cells. Next, PLGA is used as a nanoparticle skeleton material, and poly(I:C), CpG2006, and CpG2216 are used as immunoadjuvants to prepare a nanoparticle system carrying the water-soluble component mixture and the water-insoluble component mixture. Then, the nanoparticles are co-incubated with T cells and antigen-presenting cells in vitro to activate existing cancer cell-specific T cells. After the cancer cell-specific T cells are activated, specific molecules are highly expressed and can be sorted using flow cytometry. Next, after amplification, it is used for cancer treatment.
[0311] (1) Preparation of antigen components When collecting tumor tissue, first, 1.5×10 5 B16F10 cells are subcutaneously inoculated into the back of each C57BL / 6 mouse. When the tumor volume reaches about 1000 mm 3 , the mouse is sacrificed, the tumor tissue is removed, the tumor tissue is cut into small pieces and then ground, an appropriate amount of pure water is added after passing through a cell filter, and freezing and thawing are repeated 5 times. In some cases, ultrasonic waves may also be used in combination to break and dissolve the obtained sample. When collecting the cultured B16F10 cancer cell line, first, the medium is removed by centrifugation, then washed twice with PBS, the cancer cells are collected by centrifugation, the cancer cells are resuspended in ultrapure water, and freezing and thawing are repeated 3 times. In some cases, ultrasonic waves may also be used in combination to break and dissolve the cancer cells. After lysing the tumor tissue and cancer cell line, the lysate is centrifuged at a rotation speed of 5000 g for 5 minutes, the supernatant is taken as the water-soluble component soluble in pure water, 8 M urea is added to the obtained precipitate part to dissolve the precipitate part, whereby the water-insoluble component insoluble in pure water can be solubilized in an 8 M urea aqueous solution. The water-soluble component of the tumor tissue and the water-soluble component of the cancer cell line are mixed at a mass ratio of 1:1, and the water-insoluble component of the tumor tissue and the water-insoluble component of the cancer cell line are mixed at a mass ratio of 1:1. The above is the antigen component for preparing nanoparticles.
[0312] (2) Preparation of nanoparticles In this example, nanoparticles are prepared by the double emulsion method. The molecular weight of PLGA, which is the material for preparing the nanoparticles, is 7 KDa to 17 KDa, and the immunoadjuvants used are poly(I:C), CpG2006, and CpG2216. The preparation method is as described above. First, an antigen component and an adjuvant are loaded into the nanoparticles. Next, 100 mg of the nanoparticles are centrifuged at 12,000 g for 25 minutes, resuspended using ultrapure water (10 mL) containing 4% trehalose, and then lyophilized for 48 hours. Before use, it is resuspended in 9 mL of PBS, and then 1 mL of the cell lysate component (protein concentration 80 mg / mL) is added and allowed to act at room temperature for 10 minutes to obtain nanoparticles carrying the antigen component both inside and outside. The average particle size of the nanoparticles is about 280 nm, the surface potential of the nanoparticles is about -5 mV, about 130 μg of protein or polypeptide component is carried per 1 mg of the PLGA nanoparticles, and 0.02 mg of poly(I:C), CpG2006, and CpG2216 immunoadjuvants are each carried per 1 mg of the PLGA nanoparticles. The preparation materials and preparation methods of the blank nanoparticles are the same, the particle size is about 260 nm, and the same amount of adjuvant is carried in the blank nanoparticles, but the cancer cell lysate is not carried.
[0313] (3) Isolation and amplification of cancer-specific T cells 1.5×10 5 B16F10 cells are subcutaneously inoculated into the back of each C57BL / 6 mouse, and on the 4th, 7th, 10th, 15th, and 20th days, 2 mg of PLGA nanoparticles (carrying the antigen component and the adjuvant) are subcutaneously injected into the mice respectively. On the 24th day, the mice are sacrificed, the peripheral blood of the mice is collected, and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) are separated from the peripheral blood of the mice using gradient centrifugation. The PBMC are co-incubated with CD3 antibody and CD19 antibody labeled with different fluorescent probes, and then CD3 + T cells and CD19 + B cells are sorted.
[0314] The method for preparing mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) is a conventional preparation method. The method for preparing BMDMs is as follows. Anesthetize C57 mice and kill them by dislocation. Disinfect the mice with 75% ethanol. Next, use scissors to make a small opening on the back of the mouse, and directly tear the mouse's skin by hand up to the calf joint of the mouse, and remove the ankle joint and skin of the mouse. Use scissors to remove the hind limbs along the greater trochanter at the base of the mouse's thigh, remove the muscle tissue, then place it in a culture dish containing 75% ethanol and soak for 5 minutes, replace it with a new culture dish of 75% ethanol, and transfer it to a clean bench. Transfer the ethanol-soaked foot bones to cold PBS, wash the ethanol adhering to the surface of the tibia and femur, and this process can be repeated 3 times. Separate the washed femur and tibia, use scissors to cut both ends of the femur and tibia respectively, use a 1 mL syringe to aspirate cold induction medium, blow the bone marrow out of the femur and tibia, and repeat the purge 3 times until no obvious redness can be seen in the foot bones. Repeatedly spray the medium containing bone marrow cells using a 5 mL pipette to disperse the cell mass. Next, use a 70 μm cell strainer to filter the cells, transfer them to a 15 mL centrifuge tube, centrifuge at 1500 rpm for 5 minutes, discard the supernatant, add red blood cell lysate and resuspend for 5 minutes, then centrifuge at 1500 rpm for 5 minutes, discard the supernatant, resuspend with cold-prepared bone marrow macrophage induction medium (DMEM high glucose medium containing 15% L929 medium), and inoculate on a cell count plate. Culture the cells overnight to remove other miscellaneous cells that adhere immediately, such as fibroblasts. Collect the non-adherent cells and inoculate them into dishes or cell culture plates according to the experimental plan. Macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) stimulates the differentiation of bone marrow cells into mononuclear macrophages at a concentration of 40 ng / mL. After culturing for 8 days, observe the morphological changes of macrophages under an optical microscope. After 8 days, digest and collect the cells, use anti-mouse F4 / 80 antibody and anti-mouse CD11b antibody, incubate in the dark at 4°C for 30 minutes, and then only use flow cytometry to identify the proportion of macrophages that have been successfully induced.
[0315] 5 million selected CD3 + T cells, 5 million B cells, 5 million BMDMs, and nanoparticles (500 μg) carrying the whole-component antigen of tumor tissue were co-incubated in 10 mL of RPMI 1640 complete medium for 48 hours, or 1 million selected CD3 + T cells, 10 million mouse BMDMs, and nanoparticles (500 μg) carrying the whole-component antigen of tumor tissue were co-incubated in 10 mL of RPMI 1640 complete medium for 48 hours, or 1 million selected CD3 + T cells, 5 million B cells, 5 million mouse BMDMs, IL-7 (10 ng / mL), and nanoparticles (500 μg) carrying the whole-component antigen of tumor tissue were co-incubated in 10 mL of RPMI 1640 complete medium for 48 hours. Next, using flow cytometry, CD3 + CD137 + T cells (cell viability 70%) are selected. 1 million cancer-specific T cells selected above are co-incubated with IL-2 (1000 U / mL) and IL-7 (1000 U / mL) in 10 mL of RPMI 1640 complete medium (37 °C, 5% CO 2 ) for 14 days (changing the medium every 2 days) to amplify the selected cancer cell-specific T cells.
[0316] (4) Cancer cell-specific T cells for cancer treatment To prepare melanoma tumor-bearing mice, female C57BL / 6 at 6 - 8 weeks old are selected as model mice. On day 0, 1.5×10 5 cells of B16F10 are subcutaneously inoculated into the lower right of the back of each mouse. On the 4th, 7th, 10th, 15th, 20th, and 25th days after melanoma inoculation, 2 million cancer-specific T cells are intravenously injected respectively. The monitoring methods for the tumor volume and survival period of the mice are the same as above.
[0317] (5) Experimental results As shown in Fig. 4, the mice in the PBS control group had the fastest tumor growth rate and the shortest survival period. The tumor growth rate and survival period of the mice in some treatment groups after amplification of the selected T cells were significantly improved compared with those of the PBS control group. The anti-cancer effect after amplification of cancer-specific T cells obtained by a two-step selection method using B cells and BMDM as mixed antigen-presenting cells was higher than that after amplification of cancer-specific T cells obtained by a two-step selection method using BMDM as antigen-presenting cells. As can be seen, when selecting cancer-specific T cells, it is more effective to use B cells and BMDM as mixed antigen-presenting cells than to use BMDM antigen-presenting cells alone. In addition, cancer-specific T cells selected by adding IL-7 during the co-incubation process of nanoparticles, antigen-presenting cells, and T cells were more effective than cancer cell-specific T cells selected without adding IL-7 during the incubation process.
[0318] Example 4, Cell Line for Preventing Lung Metastasis of Melanoma In this example, a mouse melanoma lung model was used to illustrate how to prevent cancer metastasis using a cell line. In this example, first, B16F10 melanoma tumor tissue was lysed to prepare the water-soluble and water-insoluble components of the tumor tissue, and then nanoparticles carrying the water-soluble and water-insoluble components of the tumor tissue were prepared. In this example, a series of mineralization treatments were performed. In this example, first, dendritic cells (DC) were activated in vitro using nanoparticles, and then the dendritic cells and cancer-specific T cells were co-incubated and activated to assist in the selection of cancer cell-specific T cells. In actual applications, antigen-presenting cells can be used alive, or antigen-presenting cells inactivated by paraformaldehyde fixation treatment, radiation inactivation treatment, etc. can also be used.
[0319] (1) Preparation of Antigen Components 1.5×10 5 individual B16-F10 cells were subcutaneously inoculated into the back of each C57BL / 6 mouse, and when the tumor reached about 1000 mm 3When this occurs, the mouse is sacrificed and the tumor tissue is excised. After mincing the tumor tissue, it is ground, collagenase (1 mg / mL) is added, and it is incubated in RPMI 1640 complete medium for 30 minutes. Next, a single cell suspension is prepared by passing it through a cell filter, an appropriate amount of pure water is added, freezing and thawing are repeated 5 times, and in some cases, ultrasonic waves are also used in combination to disrupt the lysed cells. After lysing the cells, the lysate is centrifuged at a rotational speed of 5000 g for 5 minutes, and the supernatant is taken as a water-soluble component soluble in pure water. To the obtained precipitate portion, 10% sodium deoxycholate (containing 0.8 M arginine) is added to dissolve the precipitate portion, whereby the water-insoluble component insoluble in pure water can be solubilized in a 10% aqueous sodium deoxycholate solution. The water-soluble component and the water-insoluble component are mixed at a mass ratio of 3:1 to obtain an antigen component.
[0320] (2) Preparation of nanoparticles In this example, nanoparticles are prepared by the double emulsion method in the solvent evaporation method, and the double emulsion method is appropriately modified and improved. The molecular weight of PLGA, which is the material for preparing the nanoparticles used, is 24KDa to 38KDa. The immunoadjuvant used is poly(I:C), and poly(I:C) is distributed inside the nanoparticles but supported on the surface of the nanoparticles. The preparation method is as described above. During the preparation process, first, by the double emulsion method, a dissolved component and an adjuvant are supported inside the nanoparticles. Next, 100 mg of the nanoparticles are centrifuged at 10,000 g for 20 minutes. Subsequently, the nanoparticles are resuspended in 7 mL of PBS and mixed with 3 mL of a PBS solution containing cell lysate (60 mg / mL). Then, it is centrifuged at 10,000 g for 20 minutes. Then, it is resuspended in 10 mL of a silicate solution (containing 150 mM of NaCl, 80 mM of tetramethyl orthosilicate, and 1.0 mM of HCl, pH 3.0), fixed at room temperature for 10 minutes, and then fixed at -80°C for 24 hours. It is centrifuged and washed using ultrapure water, resuspended in PBS (3 mL) containing protamine (5 mg / mL) and polylysine (10 mg / mL), allowed to act for 10 minutes, then centrifuged at 10,000 g and washed for 20 minutes, resuspended in a PBS solution (10 mL) containing cell lysate (50 mg / mL), allowed to act for 10 minutes, subsequently centrifuged at 10,000 g for 20 minutes, resuspended in ultrapure water (10 mL) containing 4% trehalose, and then freeze-dried for 48 hours. Before use, the particles are resuspended in 7 mL of PBS, and then a cancer tissue cell lysate component (3 mL) (protein concentration 50 mg / mL) containing an adjuvant is added and allowed to act at room temperature for 10 minutes. Nanoparticles modified by freeze-silicification of the lysate and addition of cationic substances both inside and outside are supported. The average particle size of the nanoparticles is about 350 nm, the surface potential of the nanoparticles is about -3 mV, about 300 μg of protein or polypeptide component is supported per 1 mg of PLGA nanoparticles, 0.02 mg of poly(I:C) immunoadjuvant is supported per 1 mg of PLGA nanoparticles, and both the inside and outside are supported equally.
[0321] The preparation process of unmodified nanoparticles is basically the same as that of modified nanoparticles, except that it does not go through the steps of low-temperature silicification treatment and addition of charged substances. In the preparation process, first, antigens are loaded into the nanoparticles by the double emulsion method. After loading the antigen (dissolved component) inside, it is centrifuged at 10,000 g for 20 minutes. Next, it is resuspended in ultrapure water (10 mL) containing 4% trehalose, and then lyophilized for 48 hours. Before use, the particles are resuspended in 7 mL of PBS. Then, a cancer tissue cell lysate (3 mL) containing an adjuvant (protein concentration 50 mg / mL) is added and allowed to act at room temperature for 10 minutes to obtain nanoparticles with the lysate loaded inside and outside. The average particle size of the nanoparticles is about 320 nm, the surface potential of the nanoparticles is about -5 mV, about 150 μg of protein or polypeptide component is loaded per 1 mg of PLGA nanoparticles, 0.02 mg of poly(I:C) is loaded per 1 mg of PLGA nanoparticles, and the inside and outside are each loaded half.
[0322] The preparation materials and methods of blank nanoparticles are the same, the particle size is about 300 nm, the same amount of adjuvant is loaded on the blank nanoparticles, but no arbitrary antigen component is loaded.
[0323] (3) Preparation of dendritic cells In this example, taking the preparation of dendritic cells from mouse bone marrow cells as an example, how to prepare bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDC) will be described. First, one 6- to 8-week-old C57 mouse is killed by cervical dislocation. After surgically removing the tibia and femur of the hindlimb and placing them in PBS, the muscle tissue around the bone is completely removed using scissors and forceps. The two ends of the bone are cut with scissors, and then a syringe is used to collect the PBS solution. The needle is inserted into the bone marrow cavity from both ends of the bone respectively, and the bone marrow is repeatedly flushed into the culture dish. The bone marrow solution is collected and centrifuged at 400 g for 3 minutes. Then, 1 mL of red blood cell lysate is added to lyse the red blood cells. 3 mL of RPMI1640 (10% FBS) medium is added to stop the lysis, and it is centrifuged at 400 g for 3 minutes, and the supernatant is discarded. The cells are placed in a 10 mm culture dish and cultured in RPMI1640 (10% FBS) medium. At the same time, recombinant mouse GM-CSF (20 ng / mL) is added, and cultured at 37 °C in 5% CO 2 for 7 days. On the 3rd day, the culture bottle is gently shaken, and the same amount of RPMI1640 (10% FBS) medium containing GM-CSF (20 ng / mL) is added. On the 6th day, half of the medium is replaced. On the 7th day, a small amount of floating cells and semi-adherent cells are collected and detected by flow cytometry. The proportion of CD86 + in CD11c + CD80 + cells is 15 - 20%, and the induced and cultured BMDC can be used in the next experiment.
[0324] (4) Isolation and amplification of cancer cell-specific T cells 1.5×10 5 B16F10 cells are subcutaneously inoculated into the back of each C57BL / 6 mouse. On the 4th, 7th, 10th, 15th, 20th, and 25th days, 1 mg of PLGA nanoparticles (100 μL) are subcutaneously injected into the mouse respectively. In the blank nanoparticle + free cell lysate control group, the same dose is injected at the corresponding time as a control. On the 24th day, the mouse is killed, the spleen is collected, a single cell suspension of mouse spleen cells is prepared, and the mouse spleen cells are co-incubated with CD3 antibody. Then, by flow cytometry, CD3 in the single cell suspension of spleen cells +Sort T cells. Mix 1 million BMDCs prepared in step 3 with 40 μg of nanoparticles loaded with whole tumor tissue antigen, and co-incubate them in 3 mL of RPMI 1640 complete medium (at 37 °C, 5% CO 2 ) for 48 hours. Next, centrifuge at 400 g for 5 minutes to collect the BMDCs, and co-incubate the sorted CD3 + T cells with the BMDCs for 24 hours. Then, using flow cytometry, select CD3 + CD8 + CD69 + T cells (cell viability 75%) and CD3 + CD4 + CD25 + T cells (cell viability 75%). Incubate 500,000 cancer cell-specific T cells selected above with IL-2 (200 U / mL), IL-7 (200 U / mL), IL-15 (200 U / mL), αCD3 / αCD28 and 10 mL of RPMI 1640 complete medium for 14 days (changing the medium every 2 days) to amplify the selected cancer cell-specific T cells (cell viability 75%).
[0325] (5) Allogeneic cell line for preventing cancer metastasis To prepare melanoma tumor-bearing mice, select 6- to 8-week-old female C57BL / 6 as model mice. One day before transplanting cells into the mice, intraperitoneally inject cyclophosphamide into the recipient mice at a dose of 100 mg / kg to remove the immune cells of the recipient mice. On day 0, intravenously inject 2 million cancer cell-specific T cells (1 million CD3 + CD8 + CD69 + T cells and 1 million CD3 + CD4 + CD25 + T cells) (100 μL) into the mice. At the same time, on day 1, intravenously inject 0.5×10 5 cells of B16F10 into each mouse. On day 14, sacrifice the mice and observe and record the number of melanoma cancer nests in the lungs of the mice.
[0326] (6) Experimental results As shown in Figure 5, many cancer nests are seen in the mice of the PBS control group, but there are almost no cancer nests in the mice treated with T cells. Compared with the control group, the mice treated with cancer cell-specific T cells obtained by assisting the selection and amplification of modified or unmodified nanoparticles have significantly fewer cancer nests. This indicates that both T cells selected and amplified by modified or unmodified nanoparticles can effectively prevent cancer metastasis.
[0327] Example 5, cancer cell-specific T cells selected and amplified with the assistance of microparticles for cancer prevention In this example, during the preparation of microparticles, silanization is performed twice. After selecting and amplifying cancer cell-specific T cells obtained by microparticles carrying antigens, they are injected into mice to prevent cancer.
[0328] (1) Preparation of antigen component After collecting the cultured B16F10 melanoma cancer cell line, it is centrifuged at 350 g for 5 minutes. Then, the supernatant is discarded, and it is washed twice with PBS. After that, the cancer cells are resuspended and lysed with 6 M guanidine hydrochloride, and the lysed whole cell components are dissolved to obtain the antigen component for preparing the microparticle system.
[0329] (2) Preparation of microparticles In this example, microparticles 1 are prepared by the double emulsion method, and the double emulsion method is appropriately modified and improved. The molecular weight of PLGA, which is the material for preparing the microparticles used, is 38 KDa to 54 KDa, and the immunoadjuvant used is poly(I:C). Poly(I:C) is distributed within the microparticles but is carried on the surface of the nanoparticles. The preparation method is as described above. During the preparation process, first, by the double emulsion method, whole cell components are carried within the microparticles and lysate components are carried inside. Then, 100 mg of the microparticles are centrifuged at 10,000 g for 15 minutes. Subsequently, the microparticles are resuspended in 7 mL of PBS and mixed with a PBS solution (3 mL) containing cell lysate (50 mg / mL). Then, it is centrifuged at 10,000 g for 20 minutes. Next, it is resuspended in 10 mL of silicate solution (containing 120 mM of NaCl, 100 mM of tetramethyl orthosilicate, and 1.0 mM of HCl, pH 3.0), fixed at room temperature for 12 hours, centrifuged and washed with ultrapure water. Then, it is resuspended in PBS (3 mL) containing polyaspartic acid (10 mg / mL), allowed to act for 10 minutes, then centrifuged at 10,000 g and washed for 15 minutes, resuspended in a PBS solution (10 mL) containing cell lysate (50 mg / mL), allowed to act for 10 minutes, and then centrifuged at 10,000 g for 20 minutes. Next, 10 mL of silicate solution (containing 150 mM of NaCl, 80 mM of tetramethyl orthosilicate, and 1.0 mM of HCl, pH 3.0) is used, fixed at room temperature for 12 hours, centrifuged and washed with ultrapure water. Then, it is resuspended in PBS (3 mL) containing protein (5 mg / mL) and polyarginine (10 mg / mL), allowed to act for 10 minutes, then centrifuged at 10,000 g and washed for 15 minutes, resuspended in a PBS solution (10 mL) containing cell lysate (50 mg / mL), allowed to act for 10 minutes, and then centrifuged at 10,000 g for 20 minutes. After that, it is resuspended in ultrapure water (10 mL) containing 4% trehalose and freeze-dried for 48 hours. Before use, the particles are resuspended in 7 mL of PBS, and then a cancer cell lysate component (3 mL) containing an adjuvant (protein concentration 50 mg / mL) is added and allowed to act at room temperature for 10 minutes. Microparticles modified by two freeze-silicification of the lysate both inside and outside and the addition of cationic and anionic substances are carried.The average particle size of the microparticles is about 1.1 μm, the surface potential of the microparticles is about -2 mV, about 340 μg of protein or polypeptide component is carried per 1 mg of PLGA microparticles, 0.02 mg of CpG is carried per 1 mg of PLGA microparticles, and half of the interior and exterior are each carried.
[0330] The preparation materials and preparation method of blank microparticles 2 are the same, the particle size is about 1.1 μm, the surface potential is about -3 mV, the same amount of adjuvant is carried on the blank microparticles, but no antigen component is carried.
[0331] (3) Preparation of dendritic cells In this example, taking the preparation of dendritic cells from mouse bone marrow cells as an example, how to prepare bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDC) will be described. First, one 6-8 week-old C57 mouse is killed by cervical dislocation. After surgically removing the tibia and femur of the hind limb and placing them in PBS, the muscle tissue around the bone is completely removed with scissors and forceps. The two ends of the bone are cut with scissors, then a syringe is used to collect the PBS solution, and the needle is inserted into the bone marrow cavity from both ends of the bone respectively, and the bone marrow is repeatedly flushed into the culture dish. The bone marrow solution is collected, centrifuged at 400 g for 3 minutes, then 1 mL of red blood cell lysate is added to lyse the red blood cells. 3 mL of RPMI1640 (10% FBS) medium is added to stop the lysis, centrifuged at 400 g for 3 minutes, and the supernatant is discarded. The cells are placed in a 10 mm culture dish and cultured in RPMI1640 (10% FBS) medium. At the same time, recombinant mouse GM-CSF (20 ng / mL) is added, and cultured at 37 °C, 5% CO 2 for 7 days. On the 3rd day, the culture bottle is gently shaken, and the same amount of RPMI1640 (10% FBS) medium containing GM-CSF (20 ng / mL) is added. On the 6th day, half of the medium is replaced. On the 7th day, a small amount of floating cells and semi-adherent cells are collected and detected by flow cytometry for CD11c + CD86 in cells + CD80 + When the proportion of cells is 15-20%, the induced and cultured BMDC can be used in the next experiment.

On the 4th, 7th, 10th, 15th, 20th, and 25th days, inject 1 mg of PLGA microparticles (100 μL) subcutaneously into the mice respectively. On the 30th day, sacrifice the mice, collect the spleens, and prepare a single-cell suspension of mouse spleen cells. First, use the magnetic bead sorting method to select CD3 + T cells in the single-cell suspension of spleen cells. After mixing the selected T cells (20 million), the BMDC prepared in step 3 (20 million), and 20 μg of microparticle 1 (or blank microparticle 2 + the same amount of free cell lysate), incubate them together for 24 hours in 10 mL of RPMI complete medium (containing 5% FBS), and then, by the magnetic bead sorting method, select CD3 + CD69 + T cells (cell survival rate 75%) that are cancer-specific T cells activated by cancer antigens. Incubate 1 million cancer-specific T cells selected above together with IL-2 (2000 U / mL) and αCD3 / αCD28 antibody (20 ng / mL) in 10 mL of DMEM high-glucose complete medium (37 °C, 5% CO 2 ) for 7 days (change the medium every 2 days) to amplify the selected cancer cell-specific T cells (cell survival rate 75%).
[0333] (5) Amplified Cancer Cell-Specific T Cells for Cancer Prevention To prepare melanoma tumor-bearing mice, select 6- to 8-week-old female C57BL / 6 as model mice. One day before adoptively transferring cells to the mice, inject cyclophosphamide intraperitoneally into the recipient mice at a dose of 100 mg / kg to remove the immune cells of the recipient mice. On day 0, inject 2 million cancer-specific T cells (100 μL) intravenously into the mice. At the same time, on day 0, subcutaneously inoculate 1.5×10 5 individual B16F10 cells into each mouse. The method for monitoring the tumor volume and survival period of the mice is the same as above.
[0334] (6) Experimental Results As shown in Fig. 6, the tumors of the mice in the PBS control group had a fast growth rate and a short survival period, while the tumors of the mice treated with T cells had a significantly slower growth rate and a significantly extended survival period. This indicates that T cells sorted and amplified by microparticles can effectively prevent cancer.
[0335] Example 6, Cancer-specific T cells for cancer prevention In this example, first, 8M urea was used to lyse B16F10 melanoma tumor tissue and dissolve the tumor tissue lysate components. Next, using PLA as the nanoparticle backbone material and poly(I:C) and CpG1018 as immunoadjuvants, nanoparticles carrying whole cell antigens were prepared, and the nanoparticles assist in the sorting and amplification of cell-specific T cells.
[0336] (1) Preparation of antigen components 1.5×10 5 individual B16F10 cells were subcutaneously inoculated into the back of each C57BL / 6 mouse. When the tumor reached about 1000 mm 3 , the mouse was sacrificed and the tumor tissue was removed. After cutting the tumor tissue into small pieces, it was ground, passed through a cell filter to obtain a single cell suspension, and an appropriate amount of 8M urea aqueous solution was added to lyse the cells and dissolve the cell lysate. The above is the antigen component for preparing nanoparticles.

The molecular weight of PLGA, which is the material for preparing nanoparticles 1, is 20 KDa, and the immunoadjuvants used are poly(I:C) and CpG1018. The preparation method is as described above. First, the double emulsion method is used to carry the antigen component and the adjuvant in the nanoparticles. Next, 100 mg of the nanoparticles are centrifuged at 12,000 g for 20 minutes, resuspended using ultrapure water (10 mL) containing 4% trehalose, and then lyophilized for 48 hours to obtain the lyophilized product for use.

On the 4th, 7th, 10th, 15th, 20th, and 25th days, 1 mg of PLA nanoparticles 1 (100 μL) are subcutaneously injected into the mice respectively. On the 29th day, the mice are sacrificed and the spleens are collected to prepare a single cell suspension of mouse spleen cells.

[0340] (4) T cells for cancer prevention To prepare melanoma tumor-bearing mice, select 6- to 8-week-old female C57BL / 6 as model mice. One day before transplanting the cancer cell-specific T cells of the mice, intraperitoneally inject cyclophosphamide into the recipient mice at a dose of 100 mg / kg to remove the immune cells of the recipient mice. On day 0, subcutaneously inject 2 million amplified cancer-specific T cells (100 μL) into the mice. At the same time, on day 0, subcutaneously inoculate 1.5×10 5 B16F10 cells into each mouse, and the monitoring methods for the tumor volume and survival period of the mice are the same as above.
[0341] (5) Experimental results As shown in Figure 6, the mice in the control group had the fastest tumor growth rate and the shortest survival period. Both the cancer cell-specific T cells sorted and amplified using nanoparticle 1 and nanoparticle 2 could slow down the tumor growth rate and extend the survival period of the mice.

When the tumor reached approximately 1000 mm 3 , the mouse was sacrificed and the tumor tissue was removed. After cutting the tumor tissue into small pieces, it was ground, passed through a cell filter to prepare a single-cell suspension, then an appropriate amount of pure water was added, and freezing and thawing were repeated 5 times. In some cases, ultrasonic waves were also used in combination to disrupt the lysed cells. After lysing the cells, the lysate was centrifuged at a rotational speed of more than 5000 g for 5 minutes, and the supernatant was taken as the water-soluble component soluble in pure water. 10% N-octyl-β-D-glucopyranoside aqueous solution was added to the obtained precipitate portion to dissolve the precipitate portion, whereby the water-insoluble component insoluble in pure water can be solubilized in 10% N-octyl-β-D-glucopyranoside aqueous solution. The cultured LLC lung cancer cell line was collected, centrifuged at 350 g for 5 minutes, then the supernatant was discarded, washed twice with PBS, and then the cells were resuspended in ultrapure water, and freezing and thawing were repeated 5 times.

Next, mix the water-soluble component mixture and the water-insoluble component mixture in a mass ratio of 1:1, and this mixture is the antigen component for preparing nanoparticles.
[0345] (2) Preparation of nanoparticles In this example, nanoparticles are prepared by the double emulsion method. The molecular weight of PLGA, which is the material for preparing nanoparticles, is 24KDa - 38KDa, and the immunoadjuvants used are poly(I:C) and CpG1018. The antigen component and the adjuvant are distributed on both the inside and the surface of the nanoparticles. The preparation method is as described above. In the preparation process, first use the double emulsion method to carry the antigen component and the adjuvant inside the nanoparticles, then centrifuge 100 mg of the nanoparticles at 10,000 g for 20 minutes, resuspend them using ultrapure water (10 mL) containing 4% trehalose, and then lyophilize for 48 hours. Before use, resuspend 20 mg of the nanoparticles in 0.9 mL of PBS, mix them with a sample (0.1 mL) containing the antigen component (80 mg / mL) and the adjuvant at room temperature, and incubate for 5 minutes to be ready for use.

On the 0th day, 2×10 6 individual MC38 cells are subcutaneously inoculated into each mouse, and on the 4th, 7th, 10th, 15th, and 20th days, 100,000 cancer cell-specific T cells (100 μL) are injected into the mice respectively. The method for monitoring the tumor growth and survival period of the mice is the same as above.
[0349] (5) Experimental results As shown in Fig. 7, the mice in the control group had a fast tumor growth rate, while the cancer cell-specific T cells obtained by sorting and amplifying nanoparticles 1 and 2 could effectively slow down the tumor growth rate and extend the survival period of the mice.
[0350] Example 8. T cells after sorting and amplification for breast cancer prevention (1) Preparation of antigen component The cultured 4T1 cells were centrifuged at 400 g for 5 minutes, then washed twice with PBS and resuspended in ultrapure water. The obtained cancer cells were inactivated and denatured by ultraviolet light and heat treatment respectively, and then an appropriate amount of 8 M urea was used to lyse the breast cancer cells. The lysate was dissolved to obtain an antigen component for preparing particles.
[0351] (2) Preparation of microparticles In this example, microparticles were prepared by the double emulsion method. The molecular weight of PLGA, the skeletal material of microparticle 1, was 38 KDa - 54 KDa. The immunoadjuvants used were CpG and poly ICLC, and the substance for increasing immune escape from lysosomes was arginine. During the preparation, first, microparticles carrying antigen components, adjuvants and arginine inside were prepared by using the double emulsion method. Then, 100 mg of the microparticles were centrifuged at 9000 g for 20 minutes, resuspended in ultrapure water (10 mL) containing 4% trehalose, and then dried for 48 hours before use. The average particle size of the microparticle system was about 2.1 μm, the surface potential of the microparticles was about -5 mV, about 110 μg of protein or polypeptide components were carried per 1 mg of PLGA microparticles, 0.01 mg of CpG and poly ICLC were carried respectively, and 0.05 mg of arginine was carried. The preparation materials and methods of blank microparticle 2 were the same, with a particle size of about 2.0 μm. The same amounts of CpG, poly ICLC and arginine were carried on the blank microparticles, but no arbitrary antigen components were carried.
[0352] (3) Isolation and amplification of cancer cell-specific T cells Six- to eight-week-old female BALB / c mice are selected and on days 0, 4, 7, 14, 21, and 28, microparticles 1 (100 μL) containing 2 mg of PLGA are each subcutaneously injected. On day 32, the mice are sacrificed, peripheral blood is collected, and then peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) are isolated from the peripheral blood. First, in the first step, flow cytometry is used to separate CD3 + CD8 + T cells and B220 + B cells from PBMCs, and 200,000 sorted CD8 + T cells, 300,000 B cells, IL-7 (10 ng / mL), and 40 μg of microparticles (microparticles 1 or microparticles 2 + the same amount of free lysate) are co-incubated in 2 mL of RPMI 1640 complete medium for 96 hours. Next, using flow cytometry, CD3 + CD8 + CD69 + T cells (cell viability 85%) that are cancer cell-specific T cells capable of recognizing cancer cell antigens are further sorted. The cancer cell-specific T cells sorted in the above two steps are co-incubated with IL-2 (2000 U / mL), IL-7 (200 U / mL), IL-15 (200 U / mL), and αCD3 / αCD28 antibody for 7 days to amplify the sorted cancer cell-specific T cells (cell viability 85%).
[0353] (4) T cells sorted and amplified for cancer prevention To prepare breast cancer tumor-bearing mice, six- to eight-week-old female BALB / c mice are selected as model mice. One day before adoptively transferring cells into the mice, to remove the recipient mice's immune cells, cyclophosphamide is intraperitoneally injected into the recipient mice at a dose of 100 mg / kg. On day 0, 2 million amplified cancer cell-specific CD8 + T cells are intravenously injected into the mice. At the same time, on day 0, 4 × 10 5 cells of 4T1 cells are subcutaneously inoculated into each mouse, and the method for monitoring the growth and survival period of the mice's tumors is the same as above.
[0354] (5) Experimental results As shown in Figure 9, compared with the control group, the tumor growth rate of the cancer cell-specific T cell treatment group was significantly slower, and the survival period of the mice was significantly extended. In addition, when the nanoparticles carrying all cell components assisted in the selection and amplification of the obtained cancer cell-specific T cells, the preventive effect was superior to that when the blank nanoparticles + free cell lysate assisted in the selection and amplification of the obtained cancer cell-specific T cells. As can be seen from this, the cancer cell-specific T cells selected and amplified in the two steps described in the present invention have an excellent preventive effect against breast cancer.
[0355] Example 9, Cancer Cell-Specific T Cells for Preventing Cancer Metastasis In this example, a mouse lung metastasis cancer model of mouse melanoma is used to illustrate the prevention of cancer metastasis using the selected and amplified cancer cell-specific T cells. In actual applications, specific dosage forms, adjuvants, incubation times, incubation concentrations, administration times, administration frequencies, and administration schedules can be adjusted according to the situation. In this example, mouse melanoma tumor tissues and cancer cell lines were dissolved in 8M urea and then melted. Next, the tumor tissue lysate components and cancer cell line lysate components were loaded onto nanoparticles at a mass ratio of 1:2. In addition, the particles were used to activate cancer-specific T cells and assist in the selection of cancer-specific T cells. The obtained T cells, after amplification, prevent cancer metastasis in the mouse body. In this example, four types of polypeptide neoantigens

[0359] (1) Preparation of antigen component After collecting mouse B16F10 melanoma tumor tissues and cultured B16F10 cancer cell lines, 8M urea was used to lyse and dissolve the whole cell components of the tumor tissues and cancer cells. Next, the tumor tissue components and cancer cell line lysate components were mixed and melted at a mass ratio of 1:2 to obtain the antigen component.
[0360] (2) Preparation of nanoparticles In this example, nanoparticles 1 were prepared by the solvent evaporation method. The PLGA molecular weight of the preparation material of nanoparticles 1 used was 24KDa - 38KDa, the immunoadjuvants used were CpG7909 and poly(I:C), and the substance used to increase escape from lysosomes was the KALA polypeptide (WEAKLAKALAKALAKHLAKALAKALKACEA). The preparation method was as described above. In the preparation process, first, the double emulsion method was used to carry the antigen component, adjuvant, and KALA polypeptide inside the nanoparticles. After carrying the antigen component and adjuvant inside, 100 mg of the nanoparticles were centrifuged at 10,000 g for 20 minutes, resuspended using ultrapure water (10 mL) containing 4% trehalose, and then freeze-dried for 48 hours for use.

The immunoadjuvants used are poly(I:C) and CpG7909. The preparation method is as described above. First, the antigen component and the adjuvant are co-loaded into the nanoparticles, and then 100 mg of the nanoparticles are centrifuged at 12000 g for 25 minutes, resuspended using ultrapure water (10 mL) containing 4% trehalose, and then lyophilized for 48 hours for use.

Two million sorted CD8 + T cells are co-incubated with 5 million BMDCs prepared in step (4), 40 μg of nanoparticle 1, 10 ng / mL of IL-7, and 4 mL of DMEM high-glucose complete medium for 18 hours. Next, using flow cytometry, the incubated CD8 + T cells, which are cancer cell-specific T cells capable of recognizing cancer antigens, are sorted for CD8 + CD69 + T cells (cell viability 75%). Two hundred thousand CD8 + CD69 + T cells sorted in the above two steps are co-incubated with IL-2 (1000 U / mL) and IL-7 (1000 U / mL) for 10 days to amplify cancer cell-specific T cells (cell viability 75%).

The preparation method is as follows. First, carry antigen components, adjuvants and GALA polypeptide into the nanoparticles. Next, centrifuge 100 mg of PLGA nanoparticles at 13000 g for 20 minutes, resuspend with 18 mL of PBS, then add the antigen component (60 mg / mL) (2 mL) dissolved in 8M urea, allow to act at room temperature for 10 minutes, then centrifuge at 12000 g for 20 minutes, and collect the precipitate. Next, resuspend the 100 mg of PLGA nanoparticles in 20 mL of DMEM medium, add 200 μL of CaCl 2 (1 mM), and react at 37 °C for 2 hours.

Next, on days 10, 13, 17, 21 and 28, intraperitoneally inject the mice with a dose of 10 mg / kg of PD-1 antibody respectively. Kill the mice on day 30, collect peripheral blood, and then isolate peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from the peripheral blood. Using flow cytometry, first select CD8 + T cells and B cells from PBMC. The selected CD8 + T cells (5 million cells), nanoparticles (500 μg), B cells (20 million cells) and IL-7 (10 ng / mL) are co-incubated in 20 mL of RPMI1640 complete medium for 48 hours.

In some cases, ultrasonic waves may also be used in combination to disrupt and dissolve the obtained sample. After dissolving the tumor tissue, the lysate is centrifuged at a rotational speed of 5000 g for 5 minutes, and the supernatant is taken as a water-soluble component soluble in pure water. An aqueous sodium chloride solution containing 2.0 M arginine and 10% sodium deoxycholate is added to the obtained precipitate portion to dissolve the precipitate portion, whereby water-insoluble components insoluble in pure water can be solubilized in the aqueous solution. The above is the antigen component for preparing the nanoparticle system.

[0479] (1) Preparation of antigen components Collect the tumor tissues of 5 esophageal patients. After mixing the tumor tissues of the 5 patients in a mass ratio of 1:1:1:1:1, cut them finely and grind them.

The molecular weight of PLGA, the material for preparing the nanoparticles used, is 10KDa - 30KDa. The adjuvants carried are poly(I:C) and CpG7909, and the substance that increases the escape from lysosomes carried is the KALA polypeptide. The preparation method is as described above.

Then, centrifuge 100 mg of the nanoparticles at 12,000 g for 25 minutes, resuspend them using ultrapure water (10 mL) containing 4% trehalose, and then lyophilize them for 48 hours. The average particle size of the nanoparticles is about 250 nm. About 100 μg of the protein or polypeptide component of the tumor tissue is carried per 1 mg of the PLGA nanoparticles, 0.01 mg of poly(I:C) and CpG7909 are carried respectively, and 0.15 mg of the KALA polypeptide is carried.

[0485] (3) Detection of cancer cell-specific T cells Patient A undergoes cancer immunotherapy after surgical resection of the tumor tissue. The treatment effect after treatment is very good, and the tumor mass gradually becomes smaller. 12 mL of peripheral blood is collected from the patient after immunotherapy. Next, PBMC is separated from the peripheral blood. PBMC (10 million cells) and 100 μg of nanoparticles (nanoparticle 1, or nanoparticle 2, or nanoparticle 3, or nanoparticle 4) are co-incubated in 10 mL of AIMV serum-free medium (37 °C, 5% CO 2 ) for 96 hours. After incubation, the cells are collected, labeled with CD3 and HLA-DR flow cytometry antibodies, and then, using the flow cytometry method, CD3, which is a cancer cell-specific T cell + HLA-DR +Select T cells (cell viability 85%). Incubate the T cells selected above with IL-2 (1000 U / mL), αCD3 antibody (10 ng / mL), and αCD28 antibody (10 ng / mL) in 10 mL of DMEM complete medium (37 °C, 5% CO 2 ) for 21 days to amplify cancer cell-specific T cells (cell viability 85%).
[0486] (4) The selected and amplified T cells kill cancer cells Select 6- to 8-week-old nude mice. On day 0, subcutaneously inoculate 5 × 10 5 cancer cells amplified from the tumor tissue obtained by surgical resection of patient A under the lower right of the back of each nude mouse.

In addition, nanoparticles carrying appropriate antigen components were superior to nanoparticles carrying only a small amount of antigen components.
[0488] Example 25, the selected and amplified T cells kill lung cancer In this example, the water-soluble components and water-insoluble components in several human lung cancer cell lines are carried on nanoparticles, and then the nanoparticles are used to select and amplify cancer cell-specific T cells in the peripheral immune organs of lung cancer patients.

Next, after centrifugation, the medium was removed, and the cell pellet was resuspended in ultrapure water. Then, freezing and thawing were repeated 5 times. During the freezing and thawing process, in order to more thoroughly lyse the cancer cells, sonication was used in combination. After lysing the cells, the lysate was centrifuged at a rotational speed of 5000 g for 5 minutes, and the supernatant was taken as the water-soluble components soluble in pure water. 6 M guanidine sulfate was added to the obtained precipitate to dissolve the precipitate, whereby the water-insoluble components insoluble in pure water could be solubilized in a 6 M guanidine sulfate aqueous solution. After heating the water-soluble components in the cell lysate at 95 °C for 10 minutes, the obtained sample was centrifuged at 3000 g for 5 minutes, and the precipitated protein and polypeptide components were dissolved in a 6 M guanidine sulfate aqueous solution. The mRNA in the supernatant was extracted using an mRNA extraction kit. Next, when the mRNA component was mixed with the protein and polypeptide components dissolved in 6 M guanidine sulfate, the antigen component in the water-soluble components was obtained. Thereafter, a saturated ammonium sulfate solution was added to the water-insoluble components dissolved in 6 M guanidine sulfate to salting-out the protein and polypeptide components. The salted-out precipitate was dissolved twice in 6 M guanidine sulfate to obtain the antigen component in the water-insoluble components. When the antigen component in the above water-insoluble components and the antigen component in the water-soluble components were mixed at a mass ratio of 1:1, antigen component 1 for preparing nanoparticle 1 (NP1) was obtained.

In some cases, sonication may be used in combination to lyse cancer cells during the freezing and thawing process. After lysing the cells, the lysate is centrifuged at a rotational speed of 5000 g for 5 minutes, and the supernatant is taken as the water-soluble components soluble in pure water. 6 M guanidine sulfate is added to the obtained precipitate to dissolve the precipitate, thereby solubilizing the water-insoluble components insoluble in pure water in a 6 M guanidine sulfate aqueous solution. After heating the water-soluble components in the cell lysate at 95 °C for 10 minutes, the obtained sample is centrifuged at 3000 g for 5 minutes. The precipitated protein and polypeptide components are dissolved in a 6 M guanidine sulfate aqueous solution, and mRNA in the supernatant is extracted using an mRNA extraction kit. Next, when the mRNA component is mixed with the protein and polypeptide components dissolved in 6 M guanidine sulfate, an antigen component in the water-soluble components is obtained.

Next, after collecting the cells, centrifuge them at 400 g for 5 minutes, resuspend the cells in PBS, and first treat the T cells with Fc block to avoid non-specific loading.
