Description

Application of TREM-2 in preparation of tumor treatment medicine and/or diagnostic reagent
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of cellular immunotherapy, and in particular relates to application of TREM-2 in preparation of tumor treatment medicines and/or diagnostic reagents.
Background
The incidence and mortality of tumors are rapidly increasing worldwide, and cancer is one of the leading causes of death and is also a significant barrier to improving human life expectancy in countries around the world. Myeloid cell-Triggered Receptors (TREMs) are a family of immunoglobulin receptors expressed on the cell surface of myeloid cells, and the genes encoding them are located on human chromosome 6p21 and murine chromosome 17C 3. TREM receptors include TREM-1 and TREM-2 in humans, TREM-3 in mice, and at least two other TREM-like related molecules (TREM-like transcription factor-1 and TREM-like transcription factor-2). TREM-2 is an important member having a central role in the TREM family, is a membrane protein encoded by the TREM-2 gene, belongs to the transmembrane receptor of the TREM protein family, which is a glycosylated single-channel type I membrane glycoprotein comprising extracellular immunoglobulin domain, transmembrane domain and cytoplasmic tail 3 portion, which can undergo intracellular signal transduction by DNAX activating protein 12 and phosphorylated tyrosine kinase, the expression of which is seen on macrophages, microglia and osteoclasts. TREM-2 stimulates the production of inflammatory factors in the chronic inflammatory progression and immune response, which are associated with a variety of functions such as cell maturation, survival, proliferation, activation, phagocytosis, etc.
Endogenous ligands and agonists of TREM-2 are not discovered at present, and the mechanism of signal transduction is not completely defined. Recent gene screening results prove that the TREM-2 gene heterozygosis mutation is a risk factor of Alzheimer disease, Parkinson disease, frontotemporal dementia and lateral sclerosis. Researches show that TREM-2 can inhibit macrophage from secreting tumor necrosis factor alpha, interleukin-6 and other proinflammatory factors, so as to inhibit macrophage activity and weaken immune response of the macrophage to lipopolysaccharide. Overexpression of TREM-2 in microglia reduces the expression of TNF- α and inducible nitric oxide synthase in the meta-co-cultured cells. Inhibition of TREM-2 expression exacerbates autoimmune encephalomyelitis. Together, these studies suggest that TREM-2 exists as an inflammation inhibitor in the inflammatory response. Modulation and expression of TREM-2 has been of interest to a large number of researchers, particularly immunologists and pharmacologists, and has become a potential target for the treatment of inflammation-related central nervous system disorders.
At present, the expression change and functional activity of TREM-2 in malignant tumors are rarely studied, and particularly, the function of TREM-2 on tumor-specific killer T lymphocytes is not reported to be studied at present. Current immunotherapy for tumors still has great application limitations and ineffectiveness. In order to improve the early diagnosis and non-operative treatment effects of tumors and the survival rate of tumor patients, a new immune checkpoint molecule is urgently needed to be found to improve the early diagnosis rate and the immune treatment effect of tumors.
Disclosure of Invention
In order to overcome the problems in the prior art, the invention provides a new application of a myeloid cell Triggering receptor-2 (TREM-2).
The purpose of the invention is realized by the following technical scheme:
application of TREM-2 in preparing an anti-tumor functional product, wherein the functional product has an effect of inhibiting tumor progression, and the tumor is a blood tumor and a solid tumor.
Preferably, the tumor is selected from lung cancer, T-cell lymphoma, B-cell lymphoma, colon cancer, liver cancer, melanoma, lung adenocarcinoma.
Myeloid cell-triggered receptor-2 (TREM-2) is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily that is mainly expressed on the cell surfaces of monocytes, macrophages, microglia, dendritic cells, natural killer cells, etc., and consists of extracellular immunoglobulin-like regions, transmembrane regions, and intracellular regions. At present, the endogenous ligand and agonist of TREM-2 are not discovered, and the signal transduction mechanism is not completely clear. Recent gene screening results prove that the TREM-2 gene heterozygosis mutation is a risk factor of Alzheimer disease, Parkinson disease, frontotemporal dementia and lateral sclerosis. Together, these studies suggest that TREM-2 exists as an inflammation inhibitor in the inflammatory response. Modulation and expression of TREM-2 has been of interest to a large number of researchers, particularly immunologists and pharmacologists, and has become a potential target for the treatment of inflammation-related central nervous system disorders. According to the invention, research on tumor cells shows that the phagocytosis and elimination of the tumor cells by TREM-2 knocked-out macrophages are obviously weakened, the tumor progression can be promoted, and TREM-2 is prompted to have the effect of inhibiting the tumor progression; in addition to the research on the phagocytosis of tumor cells, the invention also researches the TREM-2 in a tumor microenvironment to regulate the function state of T lymphocytes, and the immunofluorescence examination finds that TREM-2 molecules are highly expressed in CD8+ T cells in the tumor microenvironment, and in an animal experiment for tumor modeling, the growth size of the tumor of a TREM-2 full-knock mouse is obviously larger than that of a wild mouse, and the TREM-2 has the effect of inhibiting the tumor progression, so that the TREM-2 is expected to be applied to the comprehensive treatment of the tumor.
Preferably, the functional product has a function of up-regulating the expression, transcription, or an expression product thereof of the TREM-2 gene.
More preferably, the expression product of the TREM-2 gene refers to various forms of molecules of the NLRP12 gene at various stages, such as but not limited to molecules produced by the TREM-2 gene during amplification, replication, transcription, splicing, processing, translation, modification, such as cDNA, mRNA, precursor protein, mature protein, and fragments thereof.
As a preferred embodiment, the functional product includes: one or more of a TREM-2 protein inhibitor, a TREM-2 gene deficient or silenced immune-related cell, a differentiated cell thereof, or a gene recombination construct.
More preferably, the functional product comprises:
(i) an activated antibody, nucleotide, lentivirus or adenovirus which takes a TREM-2 transcript as a target sequence and can activate the expression of a TREM-2 gene expression product or gene transcription;
(ii) a construct containing a TREM-2 complementary sequence and capable of forming an activator molecule which promotes expression of a TREM-2 gene expression product or gene transcription upon transfer into the body;
(iii) immune-related cells, differentiated cells thereof, or constructs following activation of a TREM-2 gene sequence.
On the one hand, the research of the invention finds that: (1) the TREM-2 expression level is increased in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of a lung cancer patient, (2) the TREM-2 expression level is increased in spleen mononuclear cells of a lung cancer mouse, (3) the TREM-2 expression level is increased in macrophages of the lung cancer mouse, (4) the subcutaneous tumor volume of the TREM-2 knockout mouse on the macrophages is remarkably larger than that of an unbundled mouse, and (5) the phagocytic elimination capacity of the TREM-2 knockout macrophages on tumor cells is remarkably weakened.
Therefore, in practical application, TREM-2 can be over-expressed in macrophages to enhance the phagocytic and scavenging capacity of cells on tumor cells, so that the purpose of treating tumors is achieved. As a preferred embodiment, the application may specifically be: the TREM-2 activating antibody is used for activating TREM-2 on macrophages in vivo, or preparing TREM-2 high-expression bionic macrophages or CAR-T, and the TREM-2 activating antibody has the effect of targeted treatment of tumors.
In another aspect of the invention, the research also finds that: the expression of TREM-2 on CD8+ T cells in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of a tumor patient is obviously higher than that of a normal human (P < 0.0001); in human tumor tissue sections, immunofluorescence examination finds that TREM-2 molecules are highly expressed in CD8+ T cells in a tumor microenvironment; in tumor-modeled animal experiments, we found that TREM-2 full knock-out mice had significantly larger tumor growth size than wild-type mice (P < 0.05). Therefore, the TREM-2 can be over-expressed on the CD8+ T cells and then is returned to the body to enhance the humoral immunity, so that the aim of treating the tumor is fulfilled.
From the two aspects of research, the invention also provides application of TREM-2 as a target spot in preparing a reagent for diagnosing tumors, wherein the tumors are blood tumors and solid tumors.
Preferably, the tumor is selected from T-cell lymphoma, B-cell lymphoma, colon cancer, liver cancer, melanoma, lung adenocarcinoma.
Preferably, TERM-2 is expressed on the surface of CD8+ T lymphocytes, or on the surface of CD14 monocytes; the tumor diagnostic reagent is used for detecting the expression level of TERM-2 on the surface of CD8+ T lymphocytes or on the surface of CD14 monocytes.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following beneficial effects:
the invention provides an application prospect of a myeloid cell trigger receptor (TREM-2) in tumor treatment, which comprises two aspects, on one hand, TREM-2 is highly expressed and enhances the phagocytosis and killing effect of mononuclear macrophages on tumor cells, and on the other hand, TREM-2 is highly expressed and promotes the cytotoxic effect of CD8+ T lymphocytes on tumor cells. The TREM-2 expression level increase in peripheral blood mononuclear cells or CD8+ T lymphocytes of various tumor patients can be used as a molecular marker for tumor diagnosis. The invention can provide good candidate drug targets and diagnosis indexes for clinical treatment of blood system tumors such as lung cancer, B cell lymphoma, T cell lymphoma and the like, and solid tumors such as colon cancer, liver cancer, melanoma, lung adenocarcinoma and the like, and has very good application prospects.

3. and (4) judging a result: and (4) taking the isotype control antibody as negative, judging non-specific staining, if no obvious staining effect exists, indicating that the non-specific staining can be ignored, and then counting positive cells. The percentage of TREM-2 and CD8 double positive cells to CD8 single positive cells was calculated. The percentage of TREM-2 and CD14 double positive cells to CD14 single positive cells was calculated.
4. The experimental results are as follows:
the results in fig. 5 show that of the CD8+ T lymphocytes from 50 tumor patients, 48 of TREM-2 and CD8 double positive cells accounted for more than 30% of the single positive cells of CD8 with an accuracy of 96%; among 125 healthy human CD8 lymphocytes, the percentage of TREM-2 and CD8 double-positive cells in all healthy human CD8 single-positive cells is less than 30%, and the accuracy rate reaches 100%. The above results indicate that TREM-2 on the surface of CD8 lymphocytes can effectively distinguish healthy people from tumor patients.
In conclusion, in peripheral blood of a tumor patient, TREM-2 on the surface of CD8+ T lymphocytes is remarkably increased compared with that of healthy people, and the diagnosis of the tumor can be performed by analyzing TREM-2 on the surface of CD8+ T lymphocytes, so that the accuracy can reach 96%, and the method has the advantages of high sensitivity and good specificity.
