Background
Acute graft versus host disease (aGVHD) is an important complication of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. aGVHD is generally recognized as an immune-mediated disease, and in particular, aGVHD is characterized by "cytokine storm" stimulation, enhanced immune response to the recipient's antigen, and the onset of cytotoxic attack with the recipient's skin, liver and gut as the primary target, leading to increased associated mortality and increased patient medical costs.
Glucocorticoids are the first line treatment of aGVHD at present, but hormone resistance still occurs in 40-60% of patients, and the second line treatment is not good enough. Therefore, the intensive elucidation of the pathogenesis of aGVHD and the establishment of novel therapeutic strategies thereof are important clinical scientific issues to be urgently solved.

The acute graft versus host disease patient may be an acute graft versus host disease patient after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
The metabolic reactions in T cells control cell proliferation, differentiation, activation, and apoptosis, and imbalance in cell metabolism and immune disorders are causal to each other. Therefore, a deep understanding of T cell metabolism and its dynamic regulation will provide effective molecular targets and new methods of potential clinical treatment for the prevention and treatment of immune-related diseases. It was found by animal models that glycolysis becomes the major energy source for effector T cells during the development of graft versus host disease. In a transplanted mouse model where major histocompatibility complex is not suitable, donor alloreactive T cells were found to acquire substances required for activation and proliferation by increasing glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation, while levels of 6-phosphofructose-2-kinase/fructose-2, 6-bisphosphatase 3 (6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fluctose-2, 6-bisphosphatase 3, PFKFB3), a key enzyme of cellular metabolism, were significantly increased. By blocking PFKFB3 with drugs, inhibiting glycolysis, the generation of alloreactive T cells can be reduced, thereby reducing the severity of acute graft-versus-host disease.
At present, whether the T cell metabolic state of aGVHD patients after transplantation is abnormal or not is still to be studied deeply. The invention discovers that the function of the T cell can be improved by regulating the glucose metabolism level of the T cell, so that the glucocorticoid and the glycolysis regulator can be used for synergistically treating the aGVHD patient after transplantation, and the invention has very important significance for clinical targeted therapy.

Example 1 prospective clinical cohort studies found abnormally elevated levels of peripheral T cell glycolysis in aGVHD patients
Study subjects: patients with aGVHD (indicated by GVHD) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) and patients with non-aGVHD (indicated by non-GVHD). Basic characteristics of aGVHD patients and non-aGVHD patients (e.g., gender, age, pre-transplant basal disease, number of chemotherapy treatments, risk assessment, pretreatment regimen, source of transplanted stem cells, total nucleated cell dose, post-transplant detection time, history of cytomegalovirus infection), and the like.
Abnormally elevated levels of peripheral T cell glycolysis were found in aGVHD patients by prospective clinical cohort studies.
The inventor detects the distribution of each subgroup of peripheral T cells of the aGVHD patient, and compared with a non-aGVHD patient, the T cells of the aGVHD patient are differentiated to Th1 and Tc1, the Th17 cells of the aGVHD patient are increased, the ratio of Th17 to Treg cells is unbalanced, and the T cell differentiation state towards the proinflammatory phenotype is presented.
The inventors further assessed whether there was a difference in the level of glycolysis in peripheral T cells in aGVHD patients versus non-aGVHD patients. Detection of peripheral blood CD3 in a subject using flow cytometry+PFKFB3 abundance in T cells, PFKFB3 abundance in aGVHD patients increased compared to non-aGVHD patientsHigh (a of fig. 1). PFKFB3 abundance in total peripheral blood protein of subjects was measured using wseternbot, and PFKFB3 abundance was increased in aGVHD patients compared to non-aGVHD patients (fig. 1D). Detecting the T cell glucose metabolism level of the aGVHD patient by utilizing a seahorse cell energy metabolism analysis kit, a lactic acid determination kit and a glucose determination kit; t cells from aGVHD patients showed higher ECAR values (E and F in figure 1), higher glucose consumption rate (I in figure 1), and higher lactate production rate (J in figure 1) compared to non-aGVHD patients. However, there was no significant change in OCR in T cells of aGVHD patients compared to non-aGVHD patients (G and H of figure 1). T cells, especially CD4, from aGVHD patients compared to non-aGVHD patients were detected by flow cytometry+The levels of PFKFB3 protein in naive T cells were significantly increased (B of fig. 1). Further, by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR, it was found that mRNA levels of metabolic enzymes of glycolytic pathway were increased in aGVHD patients compared to non-aGVHD patients, with significant increases in mRNA levels including hexokinase 3(HK3), PFKFB3, and lactate dehydrogenase b (ldhb) (C of fig. 1).
Taken together, these results indicate that PFKFB 3-mediated increases in glycolysis are present in the T cells of aGVHD patients.
Example 2 PFKFB3 modulators inhibit peripheral T cell proliferation and activation in aGVHD patients by inhibiting glycolysis
The aGVHD patients after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) were confirmed patients in the Beijing university people hospital and had informed consent for the relevant tests. Peripheral blood from aGVHD patients was collected, peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated, and CD3 was isolated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells+Cells, i.e. peripheral CD3+T cells.
Peripheral CD3+T cells were divided into two groups, one group was treated with 3PO (this group is designated GVHD +3 PO) and one group was used as a control group (this group is designated GVHD).
PFKFB3 abundance in cells was detected using flow cytometry and the results are shown in a of figure 2. The glucose consumption of the cells was measured using the glucose assay kit, and the results are shown in B of FIG. 2. The amount of lactic acid produced by the cells was measured using a lactic acid assay kit, and the results are shown in C of FIG. 2. Expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in T cells was detected by flow cytometry to obtain Th1 cell fraction, Tc1 cell fraction, Th17 cell fraction, and the results are shown in D, E and F of fig. 2. T cell inflammatory transcription factor (T-beta and ROR gamma T) abundance in cells was determined by flow cytometry and the results are shown in FIG. 2, G and H. The abundance of GATA3 and Foxp3 in cells was detected by flow cytometry and the results are shown in fig. 2, I and J. The proliferation capacity and T cell apoptosis of T cells in the cells were examined by flow cytometry, and the results are shown in K and L of FIG. 2.
The results show that: 3PO can be used for remarkably reducing the expression of PFKFB3 in T cells of aGVHD patients, promoting the reduction of glucose consumption rate and the remarkable reduction of lactic acid generation rate; 3PO reduces the expression of proinflammatory cytokines in T cells of aGVHD patients, and the proportion of Th1 cells, Tc1 cells and Th17 cells is reduced; 3PO reduces the expression of T cell inflammatory transcription factors of aGVHD patients, and reduces T-beta and ROR gamma T; 3PO has no obvious influence on the expression of transcription factors GATA3 and Foxp 3; 3PO reduced the proliferative capacity of T cells from aGVHD patients without affecting T cell apoptosis.
Taken together, 3PO inhibits activation and proliferation of peripheral T cells in aGVHD patients by inhibiting glycolysis.

Calculation of four, CI value
Test cells: step one prepared CD3+T cells.
Two drug combinations were set: MP and 3PO in combination, MP and MTX in combination.
Each medicine composition is set with various proportioning concentrations.
And processing according to the packet processing method in the step two.
Computing CD3 through Com-puSyn software+The inhibition rate of IFN gamma synthesis by T cells is 25%, 50%, 75%, 90%, 95% corresponding to CI value. CD3 pair calculated by Com-puSyn software+The inhibition rates of T cell proliferation were 25%, 50%, 75%, 90%, and 95% for the CI values.
The results are shown in J of FIG. 3. The mean CI values for MP and 3PO for T cell IFN γ synthesis were 0.364; the mean CI values for MP and MTX for T cell IFN γ synthesis were 0.554. Mean CI values for MP and 3PO for T cell proliferation were 0.475; mean CI values for MP and MTX for T cell proliferation were 0.406.
The combined use of glucocorticoid (MP) and a glycolytic regulator (3PO or MTX) in vitro on peripheral T cells of a patient suffering from aGVHD has been found to synergistically inhibit glycolysis and thus peripheral T cell activation and proliferation in a patient suffering from aGVHD.
Through the dose-response effect, the effect of MP (1 μ M) and MTX (0.5 μ M) for 48h is found to have the best inhibition effect on the T cells of aGvHD patients, but has no obvious effect on the survival of the T cells. The in vitro application of MP and MTX significantly reduced the glucose consumption rate and the lactic acid production rate. MP reduces glycolytic activity of T cells by down-regulating expression of GLUT1 and PFKFB 3. MTX reduces glycolytic activity of T cells by down-regulating expression of GLUT 1. In addition, MP and MTX reduced the proportion of pro-inflammatory cells, including Th1, Tc1 cells, in the T cells of aGVHD patients. And MP and MTX reduced T cell proliferation in aGvHD patients but did not significantly affect T cell apoptosis. These results indicate that MP inhibits T cell activation and proliferation by inhibiting GLUT1 and PFKFB3 stimulated glycolysis, and MTX inhibits T cell activation and proliferation by inhibiting GLUT1 stimulated glycolysis.
The combination of glucocorticoids and glycolytic modulators has a synergistic effect on the improvement of T cell activity in aGvHD patients, probably by reducing glycolytic activity. The combined use of glucocorticoids and glycolytic modulators has a synergistic inhibitory effect on the differentiation of T cells into the pro-inflammatory Th1, Tc1 and T cell proliferation compared to single drug treated cells. In addition, the combined use of a glucocorticoid and a glycolytic modulator down-regulates glycolytic activity in vitro over the glucocorticoid alone.
Notably, the combination regimen provided a strong synergy for T cells, with MP and 3PO having an average CI of 0.364 for T cell IFN γ synthesis. In addition, the mean CI values for MP and MTX for T cell IFN γ synthesis were 0.554. Mean CI values for MP and 3PO for T cell proliferation were 0.475. In addition, the mean CI values for MP and MTX for T cell proliferation were 0.406.
Example 4 Co-treatment of aGVHD with glucocorticoids and glycolytic modulators

1. Suspending human peripheral blood stem cells by using 1 Xhemolysin, suspending and shaking for 5 seconds, then standing for 15 minutes on ice in a dark place, then centrifuging for 5 minutes at 1500rpm, and discarding the supernatant; then suspending with PBS buffer solution, centrifuging at 1500rpm for 5 minutes, and removing the supernatant; then, the suspension was suspended in PBS buffer to obtain a cell suspension. 1 part by volume of 10 Xhemolysin (BD Biosciences) and 9 parts by volume of sterile water for injection were mixed well to obtain 1 Xhemolysin.
2. The NPG mice are fed with antibiotic water one week before cell injection to prevent infection, and are placed in an air laminar flow cabinet for aseptic breeding.
3. One day before cell injection60NPG mice were irradiated systemically with Co gamma radiation at 1.5Gy (semi-lethal dose).
4. Each mouse was injected via tail vein with the cell suspension prepared in step 1 (5X 10)6One cell/one) and luciferase+THP-1 leukemia cell (1X 10)6One cell/one). Days were counted beginning after completion of the injection.
5. Mice completing step 4 were randomly divided into six groups (PBS group, MP group, 3PO group, MTX group, MP-associated 3PO group, MP-associated MTX group) of 11 mice each. The PBS group mice were intraperitoneally injected with PBS buffer 1 time per day in a volume of 200. mu.l/mouse. MP group mice were injected intraperitoneally with 1 MP solution per day at a volume of 200. mu.l/mouse, and MP dose of 2 mg/kg body weight/time. 3PO group mice were intraperitoneally injected with 1 time of 3PO solution per day at a volume of 200. mu.l/mouse, and a 3PO dose of 25 mg/kg body weight/time. MTX group mice were intraperitoneally injected with 1 MTX solution per day at a volume of 200. mu.l/mouse and a dose of 1 mg/kg body weight/mouse. MP combination 3PO group mice were injected intraperitoneally with MP-3PO solution 1 time per day in a volume of 200. mu.l/mouse, at a MP dose of 2 mg/kg body weight/mouse, and at a 3PO dose of 25 mg/kg body weight/mouse. The MP-MTX solution is injected into the abdominal cavity of the mice in the MP combined MTX group 1 time per day, the injection volume is 200 mu l/mouse, the MP dose is 2 mg/kg body weight/time, and the MTX dose is 1 mg/kg body weight/time. The administration was continued for 30 days. The PBS group is also called CTL group.
The MP solution is obtained by dissolving MP in sterile water. The 3PO solution is obtained by dissolving 3PO in sterile water. The MTX solution is obtained by dissolving MTX in sterile water. The MP-3PO solution is obtained by dissolving MP and 3PO in sterile water. The MP-MTX solution is obtained by dissolving MP and MTX in sterile water.
Survival was continuously counted and the results are shown in figure 4.
On day 28, acute GVHD scores were performed. The acute GVHD clinical scoring system is based on six parameters: weight loss, posture, activity, fur texture, skin integrity and diarrhea. The results are shown in FIG. 5.
On day 30, mice were sacrificed, livers and spleens were removed, mononuclear cells were collected, and CD4 was detected by flow cytometry+Cell proportion, CD8+Cell ratio, Th1 cell ratio, Tc1 cell ratio, and T cell proliferation capacity. The results are shown in FIG. 6.
On day 28, peripheral blood was collected from the mice, mononuclear cells were collected, and CD4 was detected by flow cytometry+Cell ratio and CD8+Cell ratio. The results are shown in FIG. 7.
On day 28, mice were sacrificed and acute GVHD target organ (liver, spleen, skin, intestinal tract, lung) tissues were taken, fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde, paraffin sections were prepared and HE stained. Mice acute GVHD pathology scoring was performed according to the scoring system. The results are shown in FIG. 8.
On day 21, clearance of leukemic cells after NPG mice transplantation was assessed by in vivo bioluminescence imaging. The results are shown in FIG. 9. Finding ways to effectively treat GVHD while maintaining the GVL effect is important to improve the curative effect of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and reduce transplantation related complications. To further explore whether MP combined with 3PO or MTX affected the GVL effects, the luciferase was back-transfused+THP-1 leukemia cells, and the clearance of leukemia cells after NPG mice transplantation was evaluated by in vivo bioluminescence imaging. Compared to MP alone, MP in combination with 3PO or MTX had no significant effect on GVL. These results indicate that the combination of MP with 3PO or MTX in a humanized mouse model synergistically reduces T cell alloreactivity and improves aGvHD by down-regulating glycolytic activityThe GVL effect was not lost.
The combined use of glucocorticoid (MP) and glycolytic modulators (3PO or MTX) reduces mouse aGvHD clinical score and mortality compared to single drug therapy. Pathological evidence suggests that mouse GVHD target organ pathology scores with MP in combination with 3PO or MTX were significantly reduced. The results indicate that a combination of MP and 3PO or a combination of MP and MTX can be used to synergistically treat aGVHD.
