  • TIL tumor infiltrating T lymphocytes
  • TCR-T engineered T cell antigen receptor T cell
  • CAR-T technology can recombine CAR molecules into CD3-positive T cells, and the binding to target cells is independent of MHC molecules, avoiding the natural state.
  • the many intermediate links that the immune cells rely on for cancer cell clearance enable CAR-T cells to accurately recognize the antigens of cancer cells and directly target killing cancer cells (Fesnak et al., Nat Rev Cancer. 2016, 16(9): 566 -81; Lim and June, Cell. 2017, 168(4): 724-740.).
  • Immunological checkpoint blockers typified by antibodies specific for CTLA-4 and PD-1/PD-L1. Treatment (Pauken et al., Science. 2016, 354 (6316): 1160-1165.), CAR-T cells are able to proliferate and maintain their anti-tumor activity in cancer patients, On the treatment of immune CAR-T than the checkpoint blocker therapy more durable.
  • CAR-T Improve the safety of clinical application of CAR-T, such as integration of "suicide genes” (Jensen et al., Biol Blood Marrow Transplant. 2010, 16(9): 1245-56. ;Gargett and Brown, Front.

  • VAR2CSA is a protein expressed by human Plasmodium falciparum and transported to the surface of infected red blood cells (PfEMP1, PlasmoDB: PF3D7_1200600), which is a protein modified by targeting placenta-like chondroitin sulfate (pl-CSA).
  • PfEMP1 Plasmodium falciparum and transported to the surface of infected red blood cells
  • pl-CSA a protein modified by targeting placenta-like chondroitin sulfate
  • Polysaccharides mediate the adhesion of erythrocytes infected by Plasmodium to the extracellular matrix and plasma membrane of placental syncytia (Salanti et al., Mol Microbiol.
  • Plasmodium falciparum and humans have at least millions of years of co-evolutionary history (Rich and Ayala, In Krishna R.Dronamraju, Paolo Arese (Ed). Emerging Infectious Diseases of the 21st Century: Malaria-Genetic and Evolutionary Aspects. Springer US 2006.pp.125-146.), its life history mainly includes three stages: mosquito stage, liver stage and red stage (Bousema et al., Nat Rev Microbiol.
  • human erythrocytes are the host cells of their erythropoiesis, and their clearance from the immune system is mainly through the erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (PfEMP1) expressed by Plasmodium falciparum, which is infected with P. falciparum.
  • PfEMP1 erythrocyte membrane protein 1
  • VAR2CSA protein in patients with placental malaria may also be the result of co-evolution with human Plasmodium falciparum and humans.
  • pl-CSA is mainly expressed on the surface of different types of tumor cells and its extracellular matrix (Salanti et al., Cancer Cell. 2015, 28(4): 500-14; Ayres Pereira et al., PLoS Pathog. 2016, 12 (8): e1005831; Seiler et al., Eur Urol. 2017, 72(1): 142-150.), we speculate that the targeted binding of VAR2CSA protein to pl-CSA may help to break through the immunosuppression of solid tumors. Microenvironment.
  • Salanti and co-workers showed that the rVAR2 protein was coupled to the hemiasterlin toxin analog KT886 from the sponge Hemiasterella minor to obtain the drug VDC886 (rVAR2 drug conjugated KT886), which showed a contradiction in a non-pregnant tumor-bearing mouse model.
  • VDC886 Another study of VDC886 also found that in vitro, VDC886 was able to effectively remove cultured invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) cell lines with IC50 at low nanomolar levels; in vivo, weekly Intravenous injections (four times in total) VDC886 effectively prevented chemoresistance (resistance to cisplatin-based neoadjuvant chemotherapeutic drugs) growth of orthotopic bladder cancer xenografts and prolonged survival of tumor-bearing mice (Seiler et al., Eur Urol. 2017, 72(1): 142-150.). The above studies show that rVAR2 protein has a certain stability in tumor-bearing mice, and its protein itself has no adverse effects on the immunogenicity of mice.
  • MIBC invasive bladder cancer
  • CAR-T cells mainly stimulate the cytokine release and cell proliferation of CAR-T cells through phosphorylation signaling through the interaction of CAR with tumor cell surface antigens, ultimately killing or eliminating tumor cells (Chmielewski et Al., Immunol Rev. 2014, 257(1): 83-90.).

与肿瘤疫苗在临床试验中的低客观缓解率相比,细胞免疫疗法更值得期待(Rosenberg et al.,Nat Med.2004,10(9):909-15.)。但不同于传统的过继性细胞免疫治疗(例如肿瘤浸润性T淋巴细胞(TIL)的分离和体外扩增回输疗法(Rosenberg and Restifo,Science.2015,348(6230):62-8.)、DC-CIK疗法(Mesiano et al.,Expert Opin Biol Ther.2012,12(6):673-84.)和工程化的T细胞抗原受体T细胞(TCR-T)疗法(Klebanoff et al.,Nat Med.2016,22(1):26-36.),CAR-T技术能够将CAR分子重组导入CD3阳性的T细胞,与靶细胞的结合不依赖MHC分子的介导,避开了自然状态下免疫细胞对癌细胞清除所依赖的诸多中间环节,使得CAR-T细胞能够精准识别癌细胞的抗原直接靶向杀伤癌细胞(Fesnak et al.,Nat Rev Cancer.2016,16(9):566-81;Lim and June,Cell.2017,168(4):724-740.)。相对于以特异性针对CTLA-4与PD-1/PD-L1的抗体为代表的免疫检查点阻断剂治疗(Pauken et al.,Science.2016,354(6316):1160-1165.),CAR-T细胞能够在癌症病人体内增殖并维持其抗肿瘤活性,理论上CAR-T的治疗将比免疫检查点阻断剂治疗更持久。
当前,国际上对CAR-T细胞的优化研究主要还是集中在以下几个方面(Fesnak et al.,Nat Rev Cancer.2016,16(9):566-81.):一、发掘特异的实体瘤表面抗原,避免CAR-T细胞的脱靶效应;二、在实体瘤中重定向T细胞靶向性,例如通用细胞因子杀伤重定向T细胞(T cells redirected for universal cytokine killing,TRUCKs)的应用;三、优化CAR-T细胞的基因编辑和细胞转染技术(Eyquem et al.,2017);四、增强CAR-T细胞的向肿瘤组织的运输和归巢肿瘤细胞的能力;五、避免肿瘤微环境的免疫抑制和肿瘤细胞的免疫逃逸;六、提高CAR-T的临床应用安全性,例如整合“自杀基因”(Jensen et al.,Biol Blood Marrow Transplant.2010,16(9):1245-56.;Gargett and Brown,Front.Pharmacol.2014,5(235):1-7.)或者“分子开关”(Rodgers et al.,Proc Natl Acad Sci USA.2016,113(4):E459-68;Wu et al.,Science.2015,350(6258):aab4077; Morsut et al.,Cell.2016,164(4):780-91.)以及敲除内源性TCRs预防移植物抗宿主病(Graft versus Host Disease,GvHD,Galetto et al.,Blood,2014,124(21):1116.)等。
VAR2CSA是人恶性疟原虫(Plasmodium falciparum)表达并输送到其感染的红细胞表面的一种蛋白质(PfEMP1,PlasmoDB:PF3D7_1200600),它可通过靶向结合胎盘样硫酸软骨素(pl-CSA)修饰的蛋白多糖来介导疟原虫感染的红细胞与胎盘合胞体的细胞外基质和细胞质膜的黏附(Salanti et al.,Mol Microbiol.2003,49(1):179-91;Salanti et al.,J Exp Med.2004,200(9):1197-203.),从而导致疟原虫感染孕妇的胎盘,临床上称作胎盘疟疾,可引发流产和死胎。研究表明,肿瘤组织和胎盘组织表达相似类型的硫酸软骨素,VAR2CSA能够通过与pl-CSA的相互作用来特异性地靶向多种不同种类的肿瘤组织和细胞而非正常的组织和细胞(Salanti et al.,Cancer Cell.2015,28(4):500-14.)。
人恶性疟原虫和人类至少有几百万年的共进化历史(Rich and Ayala,In Krishna R.Dronamraju,Paolo Arese(Ed).Emerging Infectious Diseases of the 21st Century:Malaria-Genetic and Evolutionary Aspects.Springer US 2006.pp.125-146.),其生活史主要包括蚊期、肝期和红内期三个阶段(Bousema et al.,Nat Rev Microbiol.2014,12(12):833-40.),在共进化过程中,人红细胞是其红内期宿主细胞,其逃避人免疫系统的清除主要是通过人恶性疟原虫表达的红细胞膜蛋白1(PfEMP1)介导的人恶性疟原虫感染红细胞与宿主血管内皮细胞的黏附以及约60个编码PfEMP1蛋白的var基因(包括var2CSA)的抗原变异来实现的(Pasternak and Dzikowski,Int J Biochem Cell Biol.2009,41(7):1463-6.)。因此,VAR2CSA蛋白在患胎盘疟疾患者体内的特异性表达也可能是与人恶性疟原虫与人类共进化的结果。由于pl-CSA主要表达在不同类型肿瘤细胞的表面及其细胞外基质(Salanti et al.,Cancer Cell.2015,28(4):500-14;Ayres Pereira et al.,PLoS Pathog.2016,12(8):e1005831;Seiler et al.,Eur Urol.2017,72(1):142-150.),我们推测VAR2CSA蛋白对pl-CSA的靶向结合作用可能有助于突破实体瘤的免疫抑制微环境。Salanti及其合作者的研究表明,将rVAR2蛋白与来自海绵Hemiasterella minor的hemiasterlin毒素类似物KT886偶联得到药物VDC886(rVAR2 drug conjugated KT886),在非怀孕的荷瘤小鼠模型中显示出了对非霍奇金淋巴瘤,前列腺癌和转移性乳腺癌的抗肿瘤活性,并且没有观察到任何不良反应(Salanti et al.,Cancer Cell.2015,28(4):500-14.)。针对VDC886的另一项研究还发现,在体外实验中,VDC886能够有效清除培养的肌肉浸润性膀胱癌(MIBC)细胞系,并且IC50为低纳摩尔级浓度水平;而在体内实验中,每周静脉注射两次(共四次)VDC886有效地阻止了化学耐药性(对基于顺铂的新辅助化疗药耐药)原位膀胱癌异种移植物的生长并且延长了荷瘤小鼠的生存期(Seiler et al.,Eur Urol.2017,72(1):142-150.)。以上研究表明,rVAR2蛋白在荷瘤小鼠体内具有一定的稳定性,并且其蛋白本身免疫原性对小鼠没有不良的影响。
普通的CAR-T细胞主要是通过CAR与肿瘤细胞表面抗原的相互作用,通过磷酸化信号传导刺激CAR-T细胞的细胞因子释放和细胞增殖,最终起到杀伤或清除肿瘤细胞的效果(Chmielewski et al., ImmunolRev.2014,257(1):83-90.)。CN 105753991A公开了一种抗胎盘样硫酸软骨素的嵌合抗原受体及其应用,发现以与pl-CSA特异性相互作用的VAR2CSA蛋白结构域替换一般CAR-T中的单链抗体(single-chain fragment variable,ScFv)片段获得的CART-rVAR2对多种不同类型的肿瘤细胞具有体外杀伤活性,但后续研究发现其并不分泌细胞因子。
现有的CAR-T细胞技术的不足之处在于:
一、临床试验中多数CAR-T细胞只针对特定肿瘤类型和/或特定的蛋白靶点(clinicaltrials.gov),例如针对B细胞白血病和B细胞淋巴瘤的靶点CD19和CD22的CAR-T(ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:NCT00450944);针对肝癌的靶点GPC3的CAR-T(ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:NCT02723942);针对肺癌、肝癌和胃癌的表达anti-PD1抗体的CAR-T(ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:NCT02862028);针对GD2阳性胶质瘤患者的CAR-T(ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:NCT03252171);针对EphA2阳性恶性胶质瘤患者的CAR-T(ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:NCT02575261);针对MUC1靶点的肺癌治疗性CAR-T(ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:NCT03198052);针对BCMA靶点的多发性骨髓瘤治疗性CAR-T(ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:NCT03070327);针对CD123靶点的急性骨髓性白血病治疗性CAR-T(ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:NCT03190278);针对EGFRvIII靶点的胶质母细胞瘤治疗性CAR-T(NCT02209376,NCT02664363);针对CD138和BCMA靶点的多发性骨髓瘤治疗性CAR-T(ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:NCT03196414)等。
二、严重的毒副作用,包括:1、对低表达CAR-T细胞靶蛋白(肿瘤相关抗原)的正常组织细胞的毒性,即所谓的“on-target,off-tumor toxicities”效应,例如针对CD19靶点的CAR-T治疗急性B淋巴细胞白血病,无论是在小鼠模型上(Davila et al.,PLoS One.2013,8(4):e61338.)还是临床治疗中(Brentjens et al.,Blood.2011,118(18):4817-28.)都观测到B细胞增殖障碍;2、在构建CAR-T细胞的过程中,因慢病毒载体或其他逆转录病毒载体的使用而存在基因插入突变(insertional mutagenesis)引起细胞癌变的可能性,例如在一项利用逆转录病毒治疗因细胞因子受体共同γ链缺失导致的重症联合免疫缺陷疾病的临床试验中发现,接受逆转录病毒转导的CD34+骨髓祖细胞治疗的9个患者中的4个发展为急性T细胞白血病,而这一病症的出现被认为与LMO2原癌基因的插入突变导致逆转录病毒转导的CD34+骨髓祖细胞的大量增殖有关(Hacein-Bey-Abina et al.,N Engl J Med.2003,348(3):255-6;Hacein-Bey-Abina et al.,N Engl J Med.2010,363(4):355-64.);3、CAR-T细胞对肿瘤细胞的强力杀伤效应引起的严重不良反应,即所谓的“on-target,on-tumor toxicities”效应,例如肿瘤裂解综合症(the tumor lysis syndrome,TLS;Kochenderfer et al.,Blood.2013,122(25):4129-39.),细胞因子释放综合症/细胞因子风暴(cytokine release syndrome,CRS;Maude et al.,N Engl J Med.2014,371(16):1507-17.)以及与之相关的巨噬细胞激活综合症(macrophage activation syndrome,MAS;Grupp et al.,ASH Annu Meet Abstr.2012,120(21):2604.)等。一种基于可诱导的Caspase 9 (iCasp9)蛋白调控系统构建的“自杀基因开关”型CAR-T细胞据称能够通过清除转导的CAR-T细胞,有效限制“on-target,on-tumor toxicities”效应的发生(Gargett and Brown,Front.Pharmacol.2014,5(235):1-7;Tey,Clin Transl Immunology.2014,3(6):e17.),但是iCasp9在CAR-T细胞治疗中的有效性和必要性还需要进一步验证(Ledford,Nature.2016,538(7624):150-151;Paszkiewicz et al.,J Clin Invest.2016,126(11):4262-4272.)。通过在CAR-T细胞上共表达另一个蛋白分子,再利用该蛋白特异性的中和抗体来清除带有该蛋白标签的CAR-T细胞也是一种有效的策略,例如利用抗CD20的嵌合抗体rituximab来清除表达CD20的T细胞(Vogler et al,Mol Ther.2010,18(7):1330-1338;Philip et al.Blood.2014,124(8):1277-1287.),利用抗Myc-tag的抗体来清除表达Myc-tag的T细胞(Kieback et al.,Proc Natl Acad Sci USA.2008,105(2):623-628.)。但是,抗CD20的嵌合抗体可能很难应用在针对B淋巴细胞瘤的CAR-T上,而Myc-tag策略缺乏临床级抗体(Paszkiewicz et al.,J Clin Invest.2016,126(11):4262-4272.)。将一个截短的仅保留完整的西妥昔单抗[cetuximab(ErbituxTM)]结合位点而不包含其胞外N-末端配体结合结构域和胞内的受体络氨酸激酶结构域的人类表皮生长因子受体多肽tEGFR通过2A序列相连接共表达在CAR-T细胞上以作为细胞表面标志物用于体内输注的CAR+-T细胞的富集和跟踪鉴定,并且可以通过使用临床级的cetuximab单抗通过抗体依赖的细胞毒性来控制输注的CAR+-T细胞在体内的活性(Wang et al.,Blood.2011,118(5):1255-63.)。然而,在发生严重毒性的情况下,这种通过抗体依赖性细胞毒性的细胞凋亡是否可以迅速起始,需要在临床试验中验证。
三、应用于实体瘤治疗的CAR-T技术依然是难点(Newick et al.,Annu Rev Med.2017,68:139-152.)。与血液性恶性肿瘤不同,CAR-T细胞必须从血液系统进入到实体瘤部位,浸润并透过肿瘤的间质才能产生肿瘤相关抗原特异性的细胞毒性并发挥肿瘤杀伤的功能。然而,尽管CAR-T细胞成功的运输并浸润到实体肿瘤部位,CAR-T细胞的功能也会很快丧失,其原因包括:1、肿瘤微环境的抑制,肿瘤微环境的氧化应激反应,营养匮乏,酸性pH环境,缺氧等都会抑制T细胞的活性;2、可溶的T细胞抑制性因子和细胞因子的负面影响;3、抑制性免疫细胞,例如调节性T细胞(Tregs),髓性来源的抑制细胞(MDSCs),以及肿瘤相关的巨噬细胞(TAMs)或中性白细胞(TANs)等的抑制作用;4、T细胞自身的内源性负调控机制,例如胞内和细胞表面抑制性受体的表达上调产生的抑制作用。
因此,普通的CAR-T细胞技术基本上都属于个体化的治疗技术,往往在治疗过程中伴随着发生严重的毒副作用乃至威胁病人的生命的可能性,并且针对实体瘤的CAR-T细胞治疗依然是难点。如何开发一种能够针对多种不同类型肿瘤都具有杀伤活性的广谱性CAR-T细胞,并且能够降低其毒副作用是一个亟待解决的问题。
发明内容
针对目前CAR-T技术治疗肿瘤中伴随着发生严重的毒副作用乃至威胁病人的生命的可能性,本发明提供一种嵌合抗原受体及其应用,所述嵌合抗原受体具有靶向多种不同类型肿瘤细胞的能力,具有普通 CAR-T细胞所不具备的广谱性,并且具有可调控性。
为达此目的,本发明采用以下技术方案:
一方面,本发明提供一种嵌合抗原受体,所述嵌合抗原受体包含识别疟原虫蛋白VAR2CSA、疟原虫蛋白VAR2CSA上的蛋白标签或能够标记疟原虫蛋白VAR2CSA的化合物中的任意一种或至少两种的组合结构域。
本发明中,所述嵌合抗原受体包含能够识别疟原虫蛋白VAR2CSA的结合域,其可以识别VAR2CSA蛋白,即可以通过识别VAR2CSA蛋白中能够与胎盘样硫酸软骨素(pl-CSA)结合的任意一个或至少两个结构域的重组蛋白(rVAR2),还可以识别疟原虫蛋白VAR2CSA上的标记分子,即能够与疟原虫蛋白VAR2CSA重组表达的融合蛋白标签(tag)或者能够标记疟原虫蛋白VAR2CSA的化合物,也就是说,能够以任何方式识别到VAR2CSA蛋白的嵌合抗原受体都在本申请的保护范围内,无论是识别VAR2CSA蛋白本身,或是通过识别其他能够与VAR2CSA蛋白发生融合的蛋白或者能够标记VAR2CSA蛋白的化合物都在本发明的保护范围内。
本发明中,所述VAR2CSA蛋白通过结合肿瘤细胞表面的胎盘样硫酸软骨素pl-CSA从而具有靶向多种不同类型肿瘤细胞的能力,几乎95%(106/111)的来源于癌症患者的,包括造血系统、上皮组织和间质来源的人类癌细胞系都能被靶向。
本发明中,通过将嵌合抗原受体特异性结合VAR2CSA蛋白,发明人发现,可以通过调控VAR2CSA蛋白的含量,从而进一步调控嵌合抗原受体的作用,当不存在VAR2CSA蛋白时,嵌合抗原受体也就不起作用,不会对人体健康细胞产生毒副作用。
本发明中,通过将蛋白标签与VAR2CSA蛋白融合表达形成融合蛋白,这样能够识别该蛋白标签的嵌合抗原受体结构域也能够间接识别含有该蛋白标签的VAR2CSA融合蛋白;同样,通过化合物标记VAR2CSA蛋白,然后利用能够特异性识别该化合物的单链抗体来构建嵌合抗原受体,也可以达到间接识别含有该化合物的VAR2CSA蛋白的目的。
根据本发明,所述识别疟原虫蛋白VAR2CSA的结构域包含具有抗VAR2CSA蛋白抗体的重链可变区(VH)和轻链可变区(VL)。
根据本发明,所述VAR2CSA蛋白抗体的抗原为DBL1X、ID1、DBL2X、ID2a、ID2b、DBL3X、ID3、DBL4ε、ID4、DBL5ε、ID5或DBL6ε中的任意一种或至少两种的组合,优选为ID1、DBL2X和ID2a的组合。
本发明中,发明人发现,可以通过识别VAR2CSA蛋白中的任意一个片段来识别VAR2CSA蛋白,特别是识别ID1、DBL2X和ID2a的组合,即VAR2CSA蛋白中能够与胎盘样硫酸软骨素(pl-CSA)结合的任意一个或至少两个结构域的重组蛋白(rVAR2),从而能够准确识别VAR2CSA蛋白,并且rVAR2能够与肿瘤细胞表面的胎盘样硫酸软骨素(pl-CSA)结合,也能够作为本发明中所述嵌合抗原受体靶向肿瘤细胞表面pl-CSA抗原的中间体。

实施例1:VAR2CSA蛋白pl-CSA结合结构域的相关重组蛋白的表达及纯化
首先将编码VAR2CSA蛋白的pl-CSA结合结构域的相关重组蛋白(rVAR2)氨基酸序列的DNA分子克隆至一个原核或真核表达载体之中,再分别将构建好的原核表达载体转入大肠杆菌(例如BL21(DE3))中,将构建好的真核表达载体转入真核生物细胞(例如含有大T抗原的人胚肾细胞系HEK293T)中进行蛋白表达,收集蛋白表达细胞或培养基上清,再分别采用对应的蛋白标签亲和纯化介质进行蛋白纯化。其步骤如下:
Strep-tag亲和标签纯化体系:
首先离心收集表达带有Strep-tag标签的rVAR2重组蛋白的大肠杆菌,按每克细胞加入10毫升冰预冷的Buffer W(100mM Tris/HCl,pH 8.0,150mM NaCl,1mM EDTA)重悬大肠杆菌细胞,采用AH-1500超高压均质机(ATS Engineering Inc.)在100Mpa的压力下,低温破碎2-3次获得细胞裂解液。在14,000rpm,10min,4℃条件下离心收集细胞裂解液上清。用2倍Strep-Tactin树脂体积的Buffer W(100mM Tris/HCl,pH 8.0,150mM NaCl,1mM EDTA)洗涤并平衡树脂。将收集的细胞裂解液上清与平衡好的Strep-Tactin树脂孵育30min-1h后过柱,待穿透液全部流出后,分多次加入至少5倍Strep-Tactin树脂体积的冰预冷Buffer W(100mM Tris/HCl,pH 8.0,150mM NaCl,1mM EDTA)洗涤树脂,加入3倍Strep-Tactin树脂体积的冰预冷Buffer E(100mM Tris/HCl,pH 8.0,150mM NaCl,1mM EDTA,2.5mM desthiobiotin)分3次从Strep-Tactin树脂上洗脱并收集带有Strep-tag标签的rVAR2重组蛋白,再取一定量的带有Strep-tag蛋白标签的rVAR2重组蛋白纯化样品进行SDS-PAGE蛋白凝胶电泳分析,结果如图1(A)所示,带有Strep-tag蛋白标签的rVAR2重组蛋白的预测平均分子量约为74kDa。
所述带有Strep-tag蛋白标签的rVAR2重组蛋白的氨基酸序列如下(SEQ ID NO.38):

3×FLAG-tag亲和标签纯化体系:
采用带有分泌型信号肽或非分泌型信号肽的真核(哺乳动物细胞)蛋白表达载体构建带有3×FLAG-tag蛋白标签的rVAR2重组蛋白的表达载体,将该表达载体通过电转或PEI转染的方式导入HEK293细胞或HEK293T细胞中进行带有3×FLAG-tag蛋白标签的rVAR2重组蛋白表达后分别收集细胞培养基上清(针对分泌型表达载体)或细胞(针对非分泌型载体)。在细胞培养基上清中加入5%的pH值调节缓冲液(1M Tris-HCl,3M NaCl,pH 7.4)后备用。在收集的细胞中按照106-107cells/ml的比例加入细胞裂解液Buffer L[50mM Tris HCl,pH 7.4,with 150mM NaCl,1mM EDTA,1%TRITON X-100,以及1%的蛋白酶抑制剂(Sigma,Cat.#P8340)]后室温孵育30min.12,000×g,4℃离心10min收集细胞裂解液上清,备用。
将准备好的含有3×FLAG-tag蛋白标签的rVAR2重组蛋白表达上清或者细胞裂解液上清与平衡好的ANTI-FLAG M2抗体偶联的亲和树脂或者ANTI-FLAG M2抗体偶联的磁珠(Sigma)冰上共孵育2h后过柱或用磁力架收集带有3×FLAG-tag蛋白标签的rVAR2重组蛋白结合的树脂或磁珠,用20倍树脂或磁珠体积的TBS缓冲液(50mM Tris HCl,150mM NaCl,pH 7.4)分三次洗涤收集到的树脂或磁珠,采用5倍树脂或磁珠体积的3×FLAG多肽洗脱液(用TBS缓冲液配制,3×FLAG多肽浓度为150ng/μl)洗脱并收集带有3×FLAG-tag蛋白标签的rVAR2重组蛋白,再取一定量的含有3×FLAG-tag蛋白标签的rVAR2重组蛋白纯化样品进行SDS-PAGE蛋白凝胶电泳分析,结果如图1(B)所示,含有3×FLAG-tag蛋白标签的rVAR2重组蛋白的预测平均分子量约为76kDa,而10%的SDS-PAGE凝胶电泳检测的分子量大小约为115kDa,预示着可能存在蛋白质的翻译后修饰。
所述带有3×FLAG-tag标签的rVAR2重组蛋白的氨基酸序列如下(SEQ ID NO.39):

实施例2:抗rVAR2蛋白鼠源多抗和单克隆抗体的获取
将原核表达纯化的rVAR2重组蛋白分别免疫3只4-6周龄的BALB/c小鼠,具体操作步骤如下:首先将纯化得到的rVAR2重组蛋白用磷酸盐缓冲液(PBS,pH7.4)缓冲液透析3次,超滤浓缩蛋白浓度至1μg/μl;取100μl rVAR2重组蛋白溶液(100μg)与100μl弗氏完全佐剂乳化后对小鼠进行背部多点注射进行初次免疫,后再分别用100μl rVAR2重组蛋白溶液(100μg)与100μl弗氏不完全佐剂乳化后对小鼠进行背部多点注射进行2-3次的加强免疫后,采用酶联免疫吸附试验(ELISA)检测免疫小鼠血清中多抗的功能与效价,结果如图2所示,以OD450值在1.0左右为标准,检测到的小鼠抗血清(多抗)效价最高约为1∶25000。
按照需要分别准备适量的来自小鼠腹腔的饲养细胞和小鼠骨髓瘤细胞SP2/0备用;取已经免疫的BALB/c小鼠,用异氟醚麻醉后摘除眼球采血,并分离血清作为抗体检测时的阳性对照血清。断颈致死已经免疫的BALB/c小鼠,手术取出其脾脏并置于已盛有10ml不完全培养基的平皿中,轻轻洗涤,并细心剥去周围结缔组织。将分离好的小鼠脾脏转移至另一个已盛有10mL不完全培养基平皿中的不锈钢筛网上,用注射器针芯研磨成细胞悬液使脾细胞进入平皿中的不完全培养基。用吸管吹打数次,制成单细胞悬液后计数。通常每只小鼠1×108-2.5×108个脾细胞。将1×108脾细胞与1×107骨髓瘤细胞SP2/0通过PEG处理融合制备杂交瘤,并铺板至含有饲养细胞的96-孔板中,采用HAT培养基[含有次黄嘌呤(hypoxantin)、氨基蝶呤(aminopterin)和胸腺嘧啶脱氧核苷(thymidin)三种物质的细胞培养基]培养并筛选杂交瘤细胞,镜检观察杂交瘤细胞生长情况,待其长至孔底面积1/10以上时吸取细胞培养上清供抗体检测,对阳性抗体检测孔的杂交瘤细胞采用有限稀释法做单克隆化,待其长至孔底面积1/10以上时吸取细胞培养上清再次进行抗体检测。选取分泌抗体与rVAR2重组蛋白的亲和性较高的单克隆化的杂交瘤细胞株,取部分细胞进行冻存;剩下的细胞,取一部分继续培养收集含有rVAR2重组蛋白单抗的上清。再取一部分进行RNA的提取并采用特定引物的RT-PCR法分析鼠源IgG抗体的重链和轻链的可变区编码序列。从中,选取了一株分泌单克隆抗体5H4的细胞株,其重链和轻链的可变区编码序列如表1所示,5H4的重链和轻链的可变区氨基酸序列如表2所示,5H4的重链和轻链的互补决定区(complementary determining region,CDR)序列如表3所示。

Figure PCTCN2017113661-appb-000030
结果如图3所示,从图3可以看出,rVAR2蛋白可特异性靶向多种不同类型的肿瘤细胞。例如人肺癌细胞系,包括NCI-H460(大细胞肺癌细胞系,ATCC#HTB177),NCI-H520(鳞状细胞肺癌细胞系,ATCC#HTB182)以及A549(肺腺癌细胞系,ATCC#CCL185)都能够不同程度地被rVAR2蛋白特异性结合;rVAR2蛋白还能靶向结合人胎盘绒毛膜癌细胞系BeWo(ATCC#CCL98);另外,B细胞淋巴瘤细胞系Raji(ATCC#CCL86)和急性骨髓性白血病细胞系KG-1a(ATCC#CCL246.1)也能够被rVAR2蛋白特异性结合;但是,rVAR2蛋白与健康人的PBMC和正常人的脐静脉内皮细胞(HUVEC,ATCC#PCS-100-010)结合为阴性。
实施例4:rVAR2重组蛋白的鼠源单克隆抗体5H4的功能验证

实施例6:CAR-T细胞的构建及其功能机制
为了进一步提高这种基于VAR2CSA的广谱性CAR-T细胞的杀伤活性并增强其应用安全性。构建了一个以VAR2CSA或其pl-CSA的结合结构域重组蛋白(rVAR2)及其单链抗体(anti-VAR2CSA ScFv或anti-rVAR2 ScFv)制造的CAR-T(CART-anti-VAR2CSA或CART-anti-rVAR2)细胞为体系的可调控性CAR-T细胞:即利用全长VAR2CSA蛋白或rVAR2蛋白的肿瘤细胞靶向性来结合并标记肿瘤细胞,再用我们所开发的全长VAR2CSA蛋白或rVAR2蛋白特异性的鼠源单链抗体或人源化单链抗体来构建CART-anti-VAR2CSA或CART-anti-rVAR2,其作用机制为利用CART-anti-VAR2CSA或CART-anti-rVAR2间接地靶向杀伤全长VAR2CSA蛋白或rVAR2蛋白标记的肿瘤细胞,其示意图如图7所示。
将这种通过VAR2CSA全长蛋白或其pl-CSA结合结构域的重组蛋白与其单链抗体构建的CAR-T细胞一起,所构成的可调控性CAR-T细胞技术体系,命名为sCART-anti-VAR2CSA(包含VAR2CSA的全长蛋白的体系)或sCART-anti-rVAR2细胞(包含VAR2CSA蛋白的pl-CSA结合结构域重组蛋白的体系)。
以CART-anti-rVAR2(5H4 ScFv)为例,如图8所示,其负责识别rVAR2上的ID2a表位的单链抗体ScFv序列包括anti-rVAR2单克隆抗体5H4的VH链以及5H4的VL链以及两者之间的连接序列L(Linker),linker序列包括但不限于GGGGSGGGGSGGGGS等氨基酸序列。
实施例7:rVAR2蛋白在人血清中的稳定性检测
为了确认rVAR2蛋白是否能够作为一个CART-anti-rVAR2细胞的介质来靶向杀伤肿瘤细胞,首先需要确定rVAR2蛋白能否在人的血液中稳定存在。
因此,从一位非小细胞肺癌患者(男性,年龄:64)捐献的2毫升血液中分离得到了约1ml血清,然后采用V底的96孔板,每孔加入25μl病人的血清与5μl经0.2μm蛋白低吸附滤膜过滤除菌的rVAR2重组蛋白混合至rVAR2重组蛋白的终浓度为0.2μg/μl,铺板后置于37℃,5%CO2培养箱中处理。
按照样品在培养箱中的放置天数(Day)分别取样,Day 0表示第0天,即取30μl刚刚混合好的样品,Day 1表示取30μl在37℃,5%CO2培养箱中处理一天(24h)的样品,以此类推,分别取Day 2、Day 3、Day 4、Day 5、Day 7、Day 9、Day 11、Day 14、Day 17和Day 22的样品,每取一份样品分别加入570μl SDS-PAGE蛋白上样缓冲液(2×),煮沸3min后冷却后置于-20℃储存备用。阴性对照组(NC),取肺癌患者的血清10μl,用SDS-PAGE蛋白上样缓冲液(2×)稀释20倍后煮沸3min,冷却后置于-20℃储存备用。阳性对照组(PC),将纯化的rVAR2重组蛋白用SDS-PAGE蛋白上样缓冲液(2×)稀释至0.1μg/μl,煮沸3min后冷却后置于-20℃储存备用。
分两组,分别取准备好的样品5μl,上样至10%SDS-PAGE凝胶,电泳检测,取其中一组转PVDF膜,并采用抗Strep-tag单抗通过Western blot检测带有Strep-tag标签的rVAR2重组蛋白的稳定性。
结果如图9(A)-图9(B)所示,带有Strep-tag蛋白标签的rVAR2重组蛋白,平均分子量约74kDa,人血清白蛋白,平均分子量约66.5kDa,表明37℃,5%CO2培养箱处理条件下,rVAR2重组蛋白能够在肺癌患者的血清中稳定存在3周以上。
实施例8:CART-anti-rVAR2细胞的构建
首先构建CART-anti-rVAR2细胞,我们将抗rVAR2重组蛋白ID2a结构域的5H4 ScFv克隆到一个慢病毒表达载体中,该载体以EF1α启动子下游依次串联有CD8信号肽、5H4 ScFv、CD8a铰链区(CD8Hinge)、CD28跨膜序列(TM)、CD28共刺激因子、CD137(4-1BB)共刺激因子和CD3ζ结构域序列,示意图如图8所示。
采用PEI转染法将大量提取的CART-anti-rVAR2(5H4 ScFv)表达质粒与第三代慢病毒包装质粒pMDLg-pRRE∶pRSV-Rev∶pMD2.G按照3∶1∶1∶1的质量比混合后共转染HEK293T细胞,转染72h后收集细胞培养上清,将收集的培养上清用0.45μm的膜过滤后,经超滤浓缩至慢病毒滴度为1.6×108TU/ml-1×1010TU/ml,于-80℃冰箱中保存备用。接下来按照如下步骤生产CART-anti-rVAR2(5H4 ScFv)细胞:
(1)分离PBMC细胞
取志愿者捐献的新鲜全血50ml,800g离心10min;取白细胞层,用2%FBS稀释至8ml;吸取4ml LymphoPrep加入15ml离心管中,再将稀释血液小心沿管壁加至分层液上,保持两者界面清晰;800g离心20min(加速设置为6,降速设置为1);用巴氏吸管轻轻吸出灰白色的单个核细胞,加入另一支已含有10ml RF-10(含有10%灭活FBS的RPMI 1640培养基)的离心管中,混匀;以500g离心5min,弃上清;加10mL RF-10重悬细胞,Trypan blue染色并计数,350g离心10min,弃上清。

Figure PCTCN2017113661-appb-000037
CD8 Positive Isolation Kit(Invitrogen,Cat.#11333D)分别分离PBMC中的CD4+T细胞和CD8+T细胞。基本操作步骤如下:涡旋混匀磁珠,取25μl磁珠(Dynabeads)于试管中,加入1ml Buffer 1混匀,将试管放在磁力架上1min,收集上清。加25μl Buffer 1重悬磁珠备用;将PBMC细胞用Buffer 1重悬至密度为1×107个/ml;向1ml的PBMC细胞中加入25μl洗涤好的磁珠,2-8℃孵育20min,放在摇床上倾斜旋转;将试管放在磁力架上2min,收集上清;移开试管,加1ml Buffer 1,吹打混匀,放在磁力架上2min,收集上清,重复一次,将以上步骤收集的含有其他细胞的上清液转移到一个新的无菌试管中,用于后续从中分离CD8+T细胞;加100μl Buffer 2重悬磁珠结合的CD4+T细胞,加10μl DETACHaBEAD,室温下孵育45min使细胞从磁珠上释放;将试管放在磁力架上1min,含有细胞的上清转移到新的试管中,加500μl Buffer 2洗涤磁珠2-3次,收集含有部分CD4+T细胞的上清;加4ml Buffer 2,350g离心5min,去除包含DETACHaBEAD上清,用Buffer 2重悬收集到的CD4+T细胞;分选CD4+T细胞过程中收集的上清继续按照按试剂盒操作 收集CD8+T细胞。
(3)T细胞的培养
磁珠分选后的CD4+T和CD8+T细胞经350g离心10min;RF-10(含有10%灭活FBS的RPMI 1640培养基)重悬计数;按照1∶1的比例加CD4+T和CD8+T细胞培养板中培养,细胞密度为5×105个/ml;在T细胞专用培养基加入CD3/CD28抗体磁珠,加入磁珠的量按与细胞的比例1∶1加入;加rhIL-2,使终浓度为10ng/ml;每周计数2-3次,记录细胞的增殖情况。
(4)T细胞的慢病毒转染
磁珠分选后的CD4+T和CD8+T细胞经350g离心10min,加完全培养基重悬计数;按照1∶1的比例加CD4+T和CD8+T细胞于96孔板中培养,细胞密度为5×105个/ml,每孔细胞数为1×105个;洗涤磁珠,向培养皿中加入与细胞1∶1比例的磁珠;加rhIL-2,使终浓度为10μg/l;刺激24h后,感染细胞,加Polybrene,使终浓度为6μg/ml,混匀;16-24h后换液;3天后用流式检测T细胞感染效率,结果如图10所示,可见,流式检测的感染效率为45%左右,可以较高效制得CAR-T细胞。
实施例9:sCART-anti-rVAR2这种可调控性CAR-T与肿瘤细胞共孵育过程中的细胞因子分泌检测
为了检测sCART-anti-rVAR2这种可调控性CAR-T细胞是否对肿瘤细胞有潜在的杀伤功能,我们首先利用相关细胞因子检测试剂盒[R&D Systems,Human IFN-γELISA检测试剂盒(Cat.#dif50)和Human IL-2 ELISA检测试剂盒(Cat.#d2050)]对sCART-anti-rVAR2体系与肿瘤细胞共孵育过程中的细胞因子分泌水平按如下步骤进行了检测:
(1)细胞收集和预处理
分别收集效应细胞[CAR-T细胞:CART-anti-rVAR2(5H4 ScFv)]与靶细胞(癌细胞),250×g离心4min,去上清,用无血清的1640培养基(10ml)洗涤细胞两次,再用1640培养基调整细胞密度至6×105个/ml;
(2)实验分组
实验组:效应细胞[CART-anti-rVAR2(5H4 ScFv),CARTV2]与靶细胞(Raji,R)以1∶1的比例均匀铺于48孔板中,每种细胞设定为1.25×105个/孔/250μl,即总体积为500μl;其中效应细胞(或靶细胞)与rVAR2重组蛋白(rVAR2,V)提前共孵育组是先将rVAR2蛋白与效应细胞(或靶细胞)于37℃共孵育1h后再继续后续的操作。分别标注为:[CARTV2+V]+R,表示先将效应细胞与rVAR2重组蛋白共孵育,再加入靶细胞;或者[V+R]+CARTV2,表示先将rVAR2重组蛋白与靶细胞共孵育,再加入效应细胞。本实验中rVAR2重组蛋白的使用浓度为18nM。
对照组:普通T细胞(Normal T Cells,T)加靶细胞组,即T+R组,将每种细胞设定为1.25×105个/孔/250μl,不足部分用250μl RPMI-1640培养基补齐,总体积保持为500μl。
效应细胞加靶细胞组,即CARTV2+R组;
普通T细胞与rVAR2重组蛋白共孵育,再加入靶细胞组,即[T+V]+R组;
rVAR2重组蛋白与靶细胞共孵育,再加入普通T细胞组,即[V+R]+T组;
各组细胞分别于37℃培养箱共孵育24h后,收集上清,待测。
(3)细胞因子检测:
1)往ELISA板上每个孔加入100μl实验稀释液(Assay Diluent);
2)将样品以及浓度梯度稀释的标准品加入已包被抗体的ELISA孔板中,每孔100μl,除去气泡室温孵育2h;
3)移去孔内液体,每孔加300μl漂洗缓冲液洗涤,洗涤三次,最后一次吸干漂洗缓冲液;
4)加200μl对应的检测抗体,室温孵育2h;
5)重复步骤3);
6)加200μl底物液(A+B),室温避光孵育30min;
7)加50μl终止液,可见溶液由蓝色变为黄色(如果颜色为绿色或者没有改变颜色,轻拍使其混匀);
8)30min内用酶标仪于450nm处检测吸光值;
9)根据标准曲线计算样品浓度。
检测结果如图11(A)-图11(B)所示,sCART-anti-rVAR2体系与肿瘤细胞B细胞淋巴瘤细胞系Raji(ATCC#CCL86)或者NCI-H460(大细胞肺癌细胞系,ATCC#HTB177)共孵育过程中会分泌大量的IFN-γ和IL-2,提高抗肿瘤活性,这也预示着sCART-anti-rVAR2体系对不同类型的肿瘤细胞具有潜在的杀伤功能。
实施例10:Far Red法验证sCART-anti-rVAR2这种可调控性CAR-T细胞对肿瘤细胞的杀伤功能
首先采用Far Red法,即CellTraceTM Far Red Cell Proliferation Kit(Invitrogen,Cat.#C34564)试剂盒对靶细胞进行标记:(1)取适量肿瘤细胞,300×g离心3min后去掉上清;(2)将细胞用PBS重悬后,300×g离心3min,去掉上清,重复一次本步骤;(3)用PBS重悬至细胞密度为1×106个/ml;(4)每1ml体系细胞中加入1μl浓度为200μM的Far-Red,37℃水浴孵育20min;(6)孵育结束后,加入5倍体积的RF-10培养基(含有10%灭活FBS的RPMI 1640培养基)终止反应(5min);(7)300g离心3min,去上清;(8)用T细胞扩增培养基重悬至5×105/ml。
再取CAR-T细胞经300×g离心3min,去上清;用PBS重悬后,300×g离心3min,去上清,重复一次;用T细胞扩增培养基(Gibco,Cat.#A10485)重悬至5×105个/ml;
为了验证效应细胞[CAR-T细胞:CART-anti-rVAR2(5H4 ScFv)]在rVAR2重组蛋白的介导下对靶细胞(癌细胞Raji)的杀伤能力,将实验分为以下几组,具体如表5所示,在各组中,rVAR2重组蛋白无论是先与哪种细胞共孵育,其蛋白的摩尔浓度都是相应的与其共孵育的细胞的500倍;而效应细胞与靶细胞的效靶比为2∶1。
表5Far Red法检测sCART-anti-rVAR2(5H4 ScFv)对肿瘤细胞的杀伤功能实验分组
Figure PCTCN2017113661-appb-000038
Figure PCTCN2017113661-appb-000039
37℃,5%CO2培养箱中孵育16小时后,300g离心3min收集细胞;将离心下来的细胞用含有2%灭活的FBS和0.02%NaN3的PBS buffer清洗两次后,再用该PBS buffer重悬细胞;上流式细胞仪分别检测Far-Red的信号(激发波长630nm,发射波长661nm)。
体外实验结果如图12所示,表明sCART-anti-rVAR2(5H4 ScFv)体系对Raji细胞具有杀伤作用,并且只要rVAR2重组蛋白与T细胞存在的条件下,对Raji细胞都有一定的杀伤作用,推测正常的T细胞对rVAR2重组蛋白标记的靶细胞也有一定的识别杀伤作用。
实施例11:体外实时动态监测sCART-anti-rVAR2这种可调控性CAR-T细胞对肿瘤细胞的杀伤作用
首先采用与实施例10中同样的Far-Red法对靶细胞Raji进行染色标记,再用相应的T细胞培养基重悬后将Raji细胞按5000个/100μl孔铺在96-孔培养板上,按照效靶比4∶1的比例加入制备的CART-anti-rVAR2(5H4 ScFv)细胞,由于慢病毒转染效率约为45%以上,实际效靶比约为2∶1-4∶1之间,并且按照加入效靶细胞间连接介质的rVAR2重组蛋白的先后次序分为两组:先将rVAR2重组蛋白与CART-anti-rVAR2细胞(rVAR2重组蛋白终浓度为18nM,CART-anti-rVAR2细胞为20000个/100μl)于37℃共孵育1h后,再加入到肿瘤细胞中,命名为[CART-anti-rVAR2(5H4 ScFv)+rVAR2]+Raji组;或者先将rVAR2重组蛋白(rVAR2重组蛋白终浓度为18nM)与Raji细胞于37℃共孵育1h后,再加入20000个/100μl的CART-anti-rVAR2细胞,命名为[Raji+rVAR2]+CART-anti-rVAR2(5H4 ScFv)组。另外,因为Raji是B细胞淋巴瘤细胞系,其细胞表面高表达CD19,因此,可以用靶向CD19的CAR-T细胞(CART-CD19+细胞,Porter et al.,N Engl J Med.2011,365(8):725-33;Grupp et al.,N Engl J Med.2013;368(16):1509-18.)作为阳性对照来衡量sCART-anti-rVAR2(5H4 ScFv)体系的功能,所以我们采用同样的细胞数目和效靶比设定了CART-CD19++Raji作为阳性对照组。
将所有实验组和对照组放置在37℃,5%CO2培养箱中培养,利用JuLI Stage全自动活细胞监控系统实时观测sCART-anti-rVAR2(5H4 ScFv)对肿瘤细胞的杀伤活性。
结果如图13所示,表明可调控性嵌合抗原受体T细胞体系sCART-anti-rVAR2(5H4 ScFv)对肿瘤细胞Raji的体外杀伤效果明显,但需要的时间相对于CART-CD19+更长,预示着其杀伤作用更温和,可能更有助于降低CAR-T细胞的毒副反应,有利于增强其安全性。
