The invention discloses an MSLN CAR-
T cell for expressing
TRAIL protein and application of the MSLN CAR-
T cell, and relates to the technical field of biological
medicine. Spatial epitopes of tumor antigens serve as target spots, anti-tumor factors TRAIL are tried to be combined for design, the
optimal combination mode of the tumor antigens and the TRAIL is searched for to play the anti-tumor role to the maximum extent, and finally it is found that when
mesothelin (MSLN) serves as the target spot for designing CAR molecules, an MSLN
antibody scfv region, a
transmembrane region and an
intracellular signal region are connected in series, and structural optimization and transformation are conducted on the MSLN
antibody scfv region, the
transmembrane region and the
intracellular signal region; after a TRAIL coding sequence is connected to an
intracellular signal region, an MSLN CAR molecule for expressing
TRAIL protein is obtained, and a novel CAR-
T cell therapy is developed. In-vitro and in-vivo experiments show that the
treatment effect of the MSLN-TRAIL CAR-T is superior to that of second-generation MSLN CAR-T and other combination
modes, the molecule can enable MSLN and TRAIL to have a synergistic effect, the immune effect of the CAR molecule is greatly improved, and an
effective treatment strategy is provided for tumor patients.
