Abstract
Description
A γδT cell targeting PD-L1 and its preparation method and application Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the fields of bioengineering and medical technology, and in particular to a γδT cell targeting PD-L1 and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] [Corrected 30.10.2024 in accordance with Regulation 91] Cancer incidence and mortality rates are increasing annually. With the continued exploration and application of human immunity, immunotherapy research has become increasingly popular. Immune cell therapy, which activates and enhances the immune system to kill tumors, has become the fourth pillar of cancer treatment. Adoptive immune cell therapy, such as chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cells, has achieved significant results in combating blood cancers, but it is associated with high production costs, lengthy preparation times, and complex processes.
[0003] [Corrected 30.10.2024 in accordance with Rule 91] PD-L1 is often highly expressed on the surface of tumor cells. As one of the most important immune checkpoints, PD-L1, upon binding to PD-1, can induce T cell apoptosis, dysfunction, and exhaustion, thereby inhibiting the activation, proliferation, and anti-tumor function of tumor antigen-specific CD8+ T cells, leading to tumor immune escape. Because normal cells also express PD-L1, conventional CAR-T cells cannot simultaneously kill PD-L1-expressing tumor cells without harming PD-L1-expressing normal cells.
[0004] Therefore, the development of a new, convenient, and low-cost immune cell PD-L1 antibody labeling technology that can selectively kill tumor cells without damaging normal cells will greatly promote immune cell therapy.

[0049] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.
[0050] In existing technologies, immune cell therapy primarily targets T lymphocytes. The majority (approximately 95%) of mature T cells have T cell surface receptors (TCRs) composed of two heterodimeric peptide chains, α and β. A smaller subset consists of γ and δ chains, representing γδT cells. γδT cells are T cells that perform innate immune functions, capable of killing cancer cells and tumor stem cells, as well as recognizing cancer antigens, demonstrating their potent lethality.
[0051] The present invention couples PD-L1 targeting groups to γδT cells, enabling them to obtain the ability to target PD-L1 while retaining their tumor recognition and killing functions. This allows them to enrich PD-L1-positive cancer cells and significantly improve their tumor cell killing effect. In order to efficiently label PD-L1 targeting groups on γδT cells, the present invention provides non-natural sugar molecules represented by formulas 1 to 6. Through metabolic labeling, the first active group with bioorthogonal reactivity can be labeled on the surface of γδT cells, which has the advantages of high labeling efficiency, rapidity, and high stability.
[0052] In some embodiments, a non-natural sugar molecule as shown in formula 5-1-1 is used.
[0053] It can be prepared by the following method, which is divided into 2 steps:
[0054] (1) Synthesis of intermediate 1-O-Ac-ManNAz:
[0055] 460 mg of ManNAz and 297 mg of sodium carbonate were dissolved in 40 mL of water and cooled to 0 ° C in an ice-water bath. 195.8 μL of thioacetic acid and 297 mg of DMC were added in sequence (DMC was dissolved in 630 μL of water, and an aqueous solution of DMC was added during the reaction). After reacting at 0 ° C for 15 minutes, 297 mg of sodium carbonate and 195.8 μL of thioacetic acid were added again, and then 297 mg of DMC was added, and the reaction was continued at 0 ° C for 15 minutes. This step-by-step addition method was repeated three times (a total of 5 rounds of reaction). After the reaction was completed, the reaction system was diluted with 40 mL of water, the aqueous phase was washed once with DCM, and lyophilized to obtain a light yellow powder. It was purified by silica gel column (dichloromethane and methanol as eluents) to obtain 370 mg of 1-O-Ac-ManNAz with a yield of 69%. 1H NMR(600MHz,Deuterium Oxide)δ5.96(d,J=1.7Hz,1H),5.88(d,J=1.7Hz,1H),4.63(dd,J=4.6,1.8Hz,1H),4.48 (dd,J=4.8,1.8Hz,1H),4.17-4.07(m,6H),3.96(dd,J=9.5,4.5Hz,1H),3.91(dd,J=12. 4,2.2Hz,1H),3.87-3.80(m,3H),3.78(ddd,J=10.0,4.1,2.7Hz,1H),3.69(t,J=9.9Hz, 1H), 3.61 (t, J=9.7Hz, 1H), 3.56 (ddd, J=9.9, 4.7, 2.2Hz, 1H), 2.19 (s, 3H), 2.13 (s, 3H). 13 C NMR (151 MHz, D2O) δ 172.03, 171.68, 171.66, 171.03, 92.44, 91.69, 77.20, 74.39, 71.19 68.67, 66.16, 66.05, 60.05, 60.03, 52.25, 51.66, 51.60, 51.55, 20.22, 20.19.

[0056] (2) Synthesis of formula 5-1-1:
[0057] 260 mg of 1-O-Ac-ManNAz was dissolved in an appropriate volume of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (to a concentration of 0.08 mol / L). Three equivalents of Me-SATE phosphamide (synthesis method, see J. Med. Chem. 1995, 38, 3941-3950) were added to this solution under nitrogen. Subsequently, four equivalents of 1-H-tetrazine (dissolved in anhydrous acetonitrile to a concentration of approximately 0.45 mol / L) were added via syringe. The reaction was allowed to proceed overnight at zero degrees Celsius. TLC indicated the reaction was complete. A 70% solution of tert-butyl hydrogen peroxide was added at zero degrees Celsius. The reaction system was stirred for 2 hours to oxidize the trivalent phosphine product to a pentavalent phosphine product. After removing the solvent by rotary evaporation, the product was purified on a silica gel column using dichloromethane and methanol as eluents to yield 267 mg of 1-O-Ac-ManNAz-6-bis-(Me-SATE)-P, a two-step yield of 53%. The compounds were characterized by NMR and high-resolution mass spectrometry as follows. 1H NMR (600MHz, DMSO-d6) δ8.20(d,J=7.9Hz,1.3H),7.94(d,J=9.6Hz,1.0H),5.97(d,J=1.9Hz,1.3H,5.85(d,J=1.8Hz,1.0H),5.40(m,4 .6H),4.54(ddd,J=9.7,4.4,1.8Hz,1.0H),4.42(ddd,J=11.3,5.9,1.8Hz,1.0H),4.38(ddd,J=11.4,6.2,1.8Hz,1.3H),4.28-4.21(m, 3.6H),4.21-4.16(d,J=5.6Hz,9.2H),4.05-3.99(m,4.6H),3.96(dd,J=9.4,4.8Hz,1.3H),3.84(ddd,J=8.8,6.6,1.9Hz,1.3H),3.80( dd,J=9.2,4.4Hz,1.0H),3.69-3.61(m,2.3H),3.49(t,J=9.3Hz,1.0H,3.28(m,9.2H),2.50(s,13.8H),2.24(s,3.9H),2.14(s,3.0H). 13 C NMR(151MHz,DMSO-d6)δ194.83,194.81,168.78,168.55,168.39,168.36,92.00,91.71,76.22,76.18,73.60,73.56,70.61,68.06,67.46,67.42 ,67.14,67.10,66.29,66.07,65.76,65.71,65.67,65.66,65.63,65.62 ,65.60,51.91,51.43,50.77,50.56,30.52,28.82,28.77,20.77,20.69. 31 P NMR, -1.86.

[0058] Unless otherwise stated, the reagents used in the examples of the present invention can be obtained through conventional commercial routes.
[0059] Example 1 Preparation and characterization of γδT cells
[0060] 1. Extraction of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC)
[0061] Human peripheral blood was drawn and human PBMCs were separated using lymphocyte separation medium.
[0062] 2. PBMC-Initiated Expansion of γδT Cells
[0063] The culture medium described in Table 1 was used, and the 6 γδT cells were resuspended at 100 cells / mL and cultured in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator for the first three days. After three days, the cells were cultured and passaged normally. Flow cytometric characterization of PBMCs before and after culture is shown in Figure 2. These results indicate that the purity of γδT cells can reach over 95% by day nine of culture.
[0064] Table 1. γδ T cell activation medium
[0065] Example 2 Preparation and Characterization of γδT-αPDL1 Cells
[0066] 1. γδT cell labeling with azide groups
[0067] Azide was used as the first active group to modify γδT cells. The compound shown in formula 5-1-1 was used as a non-natural sugar molecule to modify the azide group. The specific steps are as follows:
[0068] The purity-identified γδT cells from Example 1 were taken and 100 μM of non-natural sugar molecules were added and cultured for 24 h. The cells were then collected by centrifugation at 400 g for 3 min and washed once with PBS to obtain γδT cells labeled with azide groups, namely γδT-N3. 5×10 4 The validation was performed on 100 μM DBCO-PEG4-Biotin cells: cells were incubated with 100 μM DBCO-PEG4-Biotin for 10 minutes at room temperature, followed by a single wash with PBS. The cells were then incubated with 2 μg / ml Streptavidin-Alexa Fluor 488 for 15 minutes at 4°C, followed by a single wash with PBS. Laser confocal imaging was then used to detect AF488 fluorescence to characterize the azide labeling of the cells. As shown in Figure 3, after labeling γδ T cells with the non-natural sugar molecule, azide groups were present on the cell surface, demonstrating extremely high labeling efficiency.
[0069] 2. PD-L1 antibody labeled DBCO
[0070] DBCO (dibenzocyclooctene) can be used in azide-alkyne cycloaddition reactions that do not require copper ion catalysis. It can be used as a second reactive group to modify PD-L1 antibodies. The specific steps are as follows:
[0071] The PD-L1 antibody (Corning Oncology, KN035) was labeled with DBCO-PEG4-NHS at a concentration ratio of 1:5 and reacted at 30°C for 1 hour. The reaction system was then passed through a desalting column to remove unreacted DBCO-PEG4-NHS, obtaining the DBCO-labeled PD-L1 antibody, i.e., DBCO-PD-L1.
[0072] 3. γδ T cells targeting PD-L1
[0073] The γδT-N3 cells prepared in step 1 were co-incubated with the DBCO-PD-L1 prepared in step 2. The DBCO concentration on the antibody surface was 20 μM and the cell density did not exceed 1×10 7 After labeling, the cells were centrifuged at 300 g for 5 min to collect the cells, and the cells were washed once with PBS to obtain γδT cells that can target PD-L1, namely γδT-αPDL1.
[0074] Take 5×10 4 For verification, 2 μg / mL of recombinant biotinylated PD-L1 protein extracellular domain was added and incubated with the cells at room temperature for 15 minutes. After incubation, the cells were washed once with PBS. The cells were then incubated with 2 μg / mL of Streptavidin-Alexa Fluor 488 at 4°C for 15 minutes. After incubation, the cells were washed once with PBS. AF488 fluorescence was then detected by laser confocal imaging to characterize cellular PD-L1 antibody labeling. As shown in Figure 4, anti-PD-L1 antibodies were present on the cell surface, indicating high labeling efficiency.
[0075] Example 3 Evaluation of in vitro killing effect
[0076] Ovarian cancer cells OVCAR8 were digested and plated, with 5,000 cells per well added to a 96-well plate and incubated overnight at 37°C in 5% CO2. γδT-αPDL1 cells and γδT cells were then co-incubated with the above-mentioned ovarian cancer cells at effector-target ratios of 0.5:1, 1:1, and 2:1, respectively, and incubated at 37°C for 3 hours. After incubation, the cell killing effect was detected using an LDH detection kit. As shown in Figure 5, the tumor cell killing effect of γδT-αPDL1 cells was significantly better than that of γδT cells, with a significantly improved killing effect and PD-L1 target specificity.
[0077] Example 4 Evaluation of the Effect of Treating the Ovarian Cancer Peritoneal Metastasis Model
[0078] Twenty-one 6-8 week old NSG mice were intraperitoneally injected with 1×10 6OVCAR8-LUC ovarian cancer cells. On the second day after the injection of ovarian cancer cells, 100 μL of the substrate D-luciferin potassium salt 1 mg / mL was injected intraperitoneally, and imaging and fluorescence value detection were performed. On the third day after the injection of ovarian cancer cells, the mice were randomly divided into groups (7 / group) for drug administration. The γδT group was injected with γδT cells; the γδT-αPDL1 group was injected with γδT-αPDL1 cells; and the control group (Vehicle) was injected with PBS as a control. The drug was administered once every 4 days by intraperitoneal injection at a dose of 5×10 6 cells / times.
[0079] Taking the first dose as day 0, imaging and fluorescence value detection and statistics were performed to detect changes in tumor volume in mice after administration. The statistical results of fluorescence values are shown in Figure 6. The tumor inhibition effect was significantly improved by the administration of γδT-αPDL1 cells.
