Description
In vitro preparation and amplification of T SCM Cellular approach Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the fields of biomedicine and immunotherapy. Specifically, it relates to the in vitro preparation and amplification of T cells. SCM This application also relates to a method for the in vitro preparation and amplification of T cells. SCM The use of cell kits, fibrinogen and thrombin in the preparation of said kits, and T cells obtained by the methods or kits of this application. SCM cell. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, with the development of immunological technologies, various cell types, including lymphokine-activated killer cells (LAK), cytokine-induced killer cells (CIK), dendritic cells (DC), and T lymphocytes with specific targets, such as tumor-infiltrating T cells (TIL), T cell receptor chimeric T cells (TCR-T), and chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR-T), have shown good efficacy in the treatment of various tumors. CAR-T therapy, in particular, has gained widespread recognition for its effectiveness in treating hematologic malignancies. However, its efficacy in solid tumors remains less than satisfactory. Immunotherapy strategies, represented by T cells, are limited by the cell's survival time within the cell. Furthermore, the self-renewal, homeostasis maintenance, and tumor-killing capabilities of immune cells weaken with differentiation, eventually leading to terminally differentiated cells and a senescent state. Most commercially available CIK and CTL cells are close to terminally differentiated cells.
[0003] Stem-like memory T cells (T cells) SCM T cells are a rare subset of memory T lymphocytes with stem cell-like self-renewal capacity and the pluripotent potential to reconstruct the entire memory and effector T cell subset. SCM T cells can specifically recognize a variety of viruses and autoantigens, and compared with other known memory cells, T cells... SCM These cells possess higher proliferative capacity, can be maintained in vivo for extended periods, and can rapidly produce large amounts of cytokines upon antigen stimulation, thus exerting stronger anti-tumor and anti-inflammatory immune functions. Given these numerous advantages, an increasing number of researchers are attempting to explore T-cell-based... SCM Cellular development of novel adoptive immunotherapy strategies. Due to T SCM The proportion of T cells in the human body is very low; therefore, it is necessary to explore how to prepare and expand T cells on a large scale in vitro. SCM Cellular approaches become particularly important and urgent.
[0004] Currently, T SCMCell culture methods primarily rely on cytokine induction, specifically by adding high doses of IL-7 and IL-15 to block GSK-30 signaling and enhance the Wnt signaling pathway, thereby maintaining the number and phenotype of stem cells in vivo and simultaneously increasing their cytotoxic efficacy. However, this method yields a relatively small number of T cells, making it difficult to meet clinical requirements. Summary of the Invention
[0005] Human fibrinogen is a glycoprotein synthesized and secreted by hepatocytes. It is one of the most abundant clotting factors in blood plasma and can be converted into fibrin by thrombin, forming a stable, porous fibrin gel upon coagulation. As an insoluble protein, fibrin can be digested and degraded by dispersants. Utilizing fibrin gel culture systems can provide cells with a 3D culture environment, better mimicking the in vivo environment and thus offering experimental conditions closer to physiological states. This is of great significance for studying cell behavior, cell-cell interactions, and cell-microenvironment interactions.
