The application of the CAR-T cells of the invention can cover a wider range of ovarian cancer tumor cells. The CAR-T cell is structurally optimized on the basis of the traditional CAR-T cell, so that the CAR-T cell secretes BiTE, and double-target killing can be realized; meanwhile, the back-transfused T cells are mobilized to a greater extent, so that the tumor cells are killed more efficiently.

Description

Preparation and application of FSHR and FOLR1 targeting double targeting target point CAR T
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of biology, and particularly relates to preparation and application of a targeting FSHR and FOLR1 double targeting point CAR T.
Background
Globally, ovarian cancer is the seventh most common cancer in women, and is also the eighth most lethal cancer. Despite advances in surgical methods and chemotherapy, 5-year survival rates remain below 45%. More importantly, the number of cases diagnosed per year is also increasing, which poses a serious threat to female life.
Cellular immunotherapy is a novel precise targeted therapy, and has a tumor treatment mode with obvious curative effect, especially CAR-T. CAR-T cell therapy first collects cells from a patient and then modifies them by activation and genetic engineering so that the T cells surface express a Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR). The chimeric antigen receptor is composed of an extracellular antigen binding region, namely scFv for recognizing tumor-associated antigen, a transmembrane region, an intracellular signal domain and the like. These CAR-T cells are returned to the patient where they can recognize and destroy tumor cells expressing the indicated antigen.
Folate receptor 1(Folate receptor1, FOLR1), also known as Folate receptor alpha or Folate binding protein, is expressed less in normal tissues compared to tumor tissues. It is expressed on the plasma membrane of cells and can mediate the folic acid uptake of cells and influence the downstream pathway to promote the tumor growth. Studies have shown that FOLR1 is highly expressed in most ovarian cancers (76% of the expression in malignant ovarian cancer) as well as uterine, endometrial, pancreatic, renal, lung, and breast cancers, and mediates folate uptake or production of regulatory signals by cells to promote tumor cell growth. This expression pattern of FOLR1 makes it a good target for CAR-T cells to treat ovarian cancer.
Follicle Stimulating Hormone Receptor (FSHR) is expressed on blood vessels in tumor tissues of ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, urothelial cancer, and renal cell carcinoma, while no expression is detected in the surrounding healthy blood vessels. It is highly expressed in ovarian cancer, and is expressed in 50-70% of ovarian cancers. This surface antigen expression correlates with the prognosis of ovarian cancer, with patients with high FSHR expression having a significantly poorer prognosis than those with low FSHR expression. Normally, it is expressed in ovarian granulosa cells and endothelium, and not in gonadal healthy tissue, making it another suitable target for CAR-T cells to treat ovarian cancer. More importantly, FSHR is a receptor of FSH (follicle stimulating hormone), and FSHR can be targeted by using FSH instead of a single-chain antibody, so that CRS reaction can be effectively reduced.
However, due to tumor heterogeneity, ovarian cancer treatment is not well achieved using the single targets. In addition, because of the limitations of current genetic modification methods, it is difficult to achieve 100% modification of the reinfused T cells.
However, if the above FOLR1 is combined with FSHR two targets, the current method for killing the two targets simultaneously mainly comprises dual specificity CAR-T. However, there are still some drawbacks, and because of the limitations of the current genetic modification methods, it is difficult to achieve 100% modification of the returned T cells, and it is not possible to mobilize T cells in patients.
Therefore, there is an urgent need in the art to develop a more broad-spectrum bispecific CAR-T cell that can be efficiently modified, with a greater extent of mobilization back-transfusion.

The term "about" can refer to a value or composition that is within an acceptable error range for the particular value or composition as determined by one of ordinary skill in the art, which will depend in part on how the value or composition is measured or determined.
The term "administering" refers to physically introducing the product of the invention into a subject using any of a variety of methods and delivery systems known to those skilled in the art, including intravenous, intramuscular, subcutaneous, intraperitoneal, spinal cord or other parenteral routes of administration, e.g., by injection or infusion.
The term "antibody" (Ab) shall include, but is not limited to, an immunoglobulin that specifically binds an antigen and comprises at least two heavy (H) chains and two light (L) chains, or antigen-binding portions thereof, interconnected by disulfide bonds. Each H chain comprises a heavy chain variable region (abbreviated herein as VH) and a heavy chain constant region. The heavy chain constant region comprises three constant domains CH1, CH2, and CH 3. Each light chain comprises a light chain variable region (abbreviated herein as VL) and a light chain constant region. The light chain constant region comprises a constant domain CL. The VH and VL regions may be further subdivided into hypervariable regions, termed Complementarity Determining Regions (CDRs), interspersed with regions that are more conserved, termed Framework Regions (FRs). Each VH and VL comprises three CDRs and four FRs, arranged from amino-terminus to carboxy-terminus in the following order: FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, FR 4. The variable regions of the heavy and light chains contain binding domains that interact with antigens.
It should be understood that the amino acid names herein are given by the international single english letter designation, and the three english letters abbreviation corresponding to the amino acid names are: ala (A), Arg (R), Asn (N), Asp (D), Cys (C), Gln (Q), Glu (E), Gly (G), His (H), I1e (I), Leu (L), Lys (K), Met (M), Phe (F), Pro (P), Ser (S), Thr (T), Trp (W), Tyr (Y) and Val (V).
Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) -immune cells
As used herein, the terms "Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) -immune cell", "CAR-immune cell", "immune cell of the invention" are used interchangeably and all refer to a CAR-immune cell with dual target specificity having elements (a), (b1) and/or (b2) according to the first aspect of the invention.
The CAR-immune cells of the invention express a first CAR and optionally a second CAR. Wherein the first CAR and the second CAR, except for the specific extracellular binding domain, each have the structure of a chimeric antigen receptor as is conventional in the art.
In one embodiment of the invention, the CAR-immune cell is capable of secreting a BiTE sequence that has the function of targeting a corresponding second CAR, which is capable of drawing the CAR-immune cell and unmodified immune cell into proximity with a target cell expressing the second CAR target protein, thereby further promoting killing of the target cell by the CAR-immune cell.
As used herein, the term "chimeric antigen receptor of the invention" refers to a first CAR and/or a second CAR in the invention.
The Chimeric Antigen Receptors (CARs) of the invention include an extracellular domain, a transmembrane domain, and an intracellular domain. The extracellular domain includes a target-specific binding member (also referred to as an antigen-binding domain). The intracellular domain includes a costimulatory signaling region and a zeta chain moiety. The costimulatory signaling region refers to a portion of the intracellular domain that includes the costimulatory molecule. Costimulatory molecules are cell surface molecules required for efficient response of lymphocytes to antigens, rather than antigen receptors or their ligands.
A linker may be incorporated between the extracellular domain and the transmembrane domain of the CAR, or between the cytoplasmic domain and the transmembrane domain of the CAR. As used herein, the term "linker" generally refers to any oligopeptide or polypeptide that functions to link a transmembrane domain to an extracellular domain or a cytoplasmic domain of a polypeptide chain. The linker may comprise 0-300 amino acids, preferably 2 to 100 amino acids and most preferably 3 to 50 amino acids.
As used herein, "antigen binding domain" and "single chain antibody fragment" each refers to a Fab fragment, Fab 'fragment, F (ab')2A fragment, or a single Fv fragment. Fv antibodies contain the variable regions of the antibody heavy chain, the variable regions of the light chain, but no constant regions, and have the smallest antibody fragment of the entire antigen binding site. Generally, Fv antibodies also comprise a polypeptide linker between the VH and VL domains and are capable of forming the structures required for antigen binding. The antigen binding domain is typically a scFv (single-chain variable fragment). The size of the scFv is typically 1/6 for a whole antibody. Single chain antibodies are preferably a sequence of amino acids encoded by a single nucleotide chain. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the scFv comprises an antibody, preferably a single chain antibody, that specifically recognizes FOLR 1.
For the hinge region and transmembrane region (transmembrane domain), the CAR can be designed to include a transmembrane domain fused to the extracellular domain of the CAR. In one embodiment, a transmembrane domain that is naturally associated with one of the domains in the CAR is used. In some examples, the transmembrane domains may be selected, or modified by amino acid substitutions, to avoid binding such domains to the transmembrane domains of the same or different surface membrane proteins, thereby minimizing interaction with other members of the receptor complex.
Carrier
Nucleic acid sequences encoding the desired molecule can be obtained using recombinant methods known in the art, such as, for example, by screening libraries from cells expressing the gene, by obtaining the gene from vectors known to include the gene, or by direct isolation from cells and tissues containing the gene using standard techniques. Alternatively, the gene of interest may be produced synthetically.
The present invention also provides a vector into which the expression cassette of the present invention is inserted. Vectors derived from retroviruses such as lentiviruses are suitable tools for achieving long-term gene transfer, since they allow long-term, stable integration of the transgene and its propagation in daughter cells. Lentiviral vectors have advantages over vectors derived from oncogenic retroviruses such as murine leukemia virus, in that they can transduce non-proliferating cells such as hepatocytes. They also have the advantage of low immunogenicity.
In brief summary, an expression cassette or nucleic acid sequence of the invention is typically operably linked to a promoter and incorporated into an expression vector. The vector is suitable for replication and integration into eukaryotic cells. Typical cloning vectors contain transcriptional and translational terminators, initiation sequences, and promoters that may be used to regulate the expression of the desired nucleic acid sequence.
The expression constructs of the invention may also be used for nucleic acid immunization and gene therapy using standard gene delivery protocols. Methods of gene delivery are known in the art. See, for example, U.S. Pat. nos. 5,399,346, 5,580,859, 5,589,466, which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. In another embodiment, the invention provides a gene therapy vector.
The nucleic acid can be cloned into many types of vectors. For example, the nucleic acid can be cloned into vectors including, but not limited to, plasmids, phagemids, phage derivatives, animal viruses, and cosmids. Specific vectors of interest include expression vectors, replication vectors, probe generation vectors, and sequencing vectors.
Further, the expression vector may be provided to the cell in the form of a viral vector. Viral vector technology is well known in the art and is described, for example, in Sambrook et al (2001, Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, New York) and other virology and Molecular biology manuals. Viruses that can be used as vectors include, but are not limited to, retroviruses, adenoviruses, adeno-associated viruses, herpes viruses, and lentiviruses. Generally, suitable vectors comprise an origin of replication, a promoter sequence, a convenient restriction enzyme site, and one or more selectable markers that function in at least one organism (e.g., WO 01/96584; WO 01/29058; and U.S. Pat. No. 6,326,193).
Many virus-based systems have been developed for gene transfer into mammalian cells. For example, retroviruses provide a convenient platform for gene delivery systems. The selected gene can be inserted into a vector and packaged into a retroviral particle using techniques known in the art. The recombinant virus can then be isolated and delivered to the subject cells in vivo or ex vivo. Many retroviral systems are known in the art. In some embodiments, an adenoviral vector is used. Many adenoviral vectors are known in the art. In one embodiment, a lentiviral vector is used.
Additional promoter elements, such as enhancers, may regulate the frequency of transcription initiation. Typically, these are located in the 30-110bp region upstream of the start site, although many promoters have recently been shown to also contain functional elements downstream of the start site. The spacing between promoter elements is often flexible so that promoter function is maintained when the elements are inverted or moved relative to one another. In the thymidine kinase (tk) promoter, the spacing between promoter elements can be increased by 50bp apart, and activity begins to decline. Depending on the promoter, it appears that the individual elements may function cooperatively or independently to initiate transcription.
An example of a suitable promoter is the immediate early Cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter sequence. The promoter sequence is a strong constitutive promoter sequence capable of driving high level expression of any polynucleotide sequence operably linked thereto. Another example of a suitable promoter is elongation growth factor-1 α (EF-1 α). However, other constitutive promoter sequences may also be used, including, but not limited to, the simian virus 40(SV40) early promoter, the mouse mammary cancer virus (MMTV), the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Long Terminal Repeat (LTR) promoter, the MoMuLV promoter, the avian leukemia virus promoter, the Epstein-Barr (Epstein-Barr) virus immediate early promoter, the rous sarcoma virus promoter, and human gene promoters such as, but not limited to, the actin promoter, myosin promoter, heme promoter, and creatine kinase promoter. Further, the present invention should not be limited to the use of constitutive promoters. Inducible promoters are also contemplated as part of the invention. The use of an inducible promoter provides a molecular switch that is capable of turning on expression of a polynucleotide sequence operably linked to the inducible promoter when such expression is desired, or turning off expression when expression is not desired. Examples of inducible promoters include, but are not limited to, the metallothionein promoter, the glucocorticoid promoter, the progesterone promoter, and the tetracycline promoter.
To assess the expression of the CAR polypeptide or portion thereof, the expression vector introduced into the cells can also comprise either or both of a selectable marker gene or a reporter gene to facilitate identification and selection of expressing cells from a population of cells sought to be transfected or infected by the viral vector. In other aspects, the selectable marker may be carried on a separate piece of DNA and used in a co-transfection procedure. Both the selectable marker and the reporter gene may be flanked by appropriate regulatory sequences to enable expression in a host cell. Useful selectable markers include, for example, antibiotic resistance genes, such as neo and the like.
Reporter genes are used to identify potentially transfected cells and to evaluate the functionality of regulatory sequences. Typically, the reporter gene is the following: which is not present in or expressed by the recipient organism or tissue and which encodes a polypeptide whose expression is clearly indicated by some readily detectable property, such as enzymatic activity. After the DNA has been introduced into the recipient cell, the expression of the reporter gene is assayed at an appropriate time. Suitable reporter genes may include genes encoding luciferase, beta-galactosidase, chloramphenicol acetyltransferase, secreted alkaline phosphatase, or green fluorescent protein (e.g., Ui-Tei et al, 2000FEBS Letters479: 79-82). Suitable expression systems are well known and can be prepared using known techniques or obtained commercially. Generally, the construct with the minimum of 5 flanking regions that showed the highest level of reporter gene expression was identified as the promoter. Such promoter regions can be linked to reporter genes and used to evaluate the ability of an agent to modulate promoter-driven transcription.
Methods for introducing and expressing genes into cells are known in the art. In the context of expression vectors, the vector may be readily introduced into a host cell by any method known in the art, e.g., mammalian, bacterial, yeast or insect cells. For example, the expression vector may be transferred into the host cell by physical, chemical or biological means.
Physical methods for introducing polynucleotides into host cells include calcium phosphate precipitation, lipofection, particle bombardment, microinjection, electroporation, and the like. Methods for producing cells comprising vectors and/or exogenous nucleic acids are well known in the art. See, e.g., Sambrook et al (2001, Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, New York). A preferred method of introducing the polynucleotide into the host cell is calcium phosphate transfection.
Biological methods for introducing a polynucleotide of interest into a host cell include the use of DNA and RNA vectors. Viral vectors, particularly retroviral vectors, have become the most widely used method for inserting genes into mammalian, e.g., human, cells. Other viral vectors may be derived from lentiviruses, poxviruses, herpes simplex virus I, adenoviruses, adeno-associated viruses, and the like. See, for example, U.S. patent nos. 5,350,674 and 5,585,362.
Chemical means of introducing polynucleotides into host cells include colloidal dispersion systems such as macromolecular complexes, nanocapsules, microspheres, beads; and lipid-based systems including oil-in-water emulsions, micelles, mixed micelles, and liposomes. Exemplary colloidal systems for use as delivery vehicles in vitro and in vivo are liposomes (e.g., artificial membrane vesicles).
In the case of non-viral delivery systems, an exemplary delivery vehicle is a liposome. Lipid formulations are contemplated for use to introduce nucleic acids into host cells (ex vivo or in vivo). In another aspect, the nucleic acid can be associated with a lipid. The nucleic acid associated with the lipid may be encapsulated in the aqueous interior of the liposome, dispersed within the lipid bilayer of the liposome, attached to the liposome via a linker molecule associated with both the liposome and the oligonucleotide, entrapped in the liposome, complexed with the liposome, dispersed in a solution comprising the lipid, mixed with the lipid, associated with the lipid, contained as a suspension in the lipid, contained in or complexed with a micelle, or otherwise associated with the lipid. The lipid, lipid/DNA or lipid/expression vector associated with the composition is not limited to any particular structure in solution. For example, they may be present in bilayer structures, either as micelles or with a "collapsed" structure. They may also simply be dispersed in a solution, possibly forming aggregates that are not uniform in size or shape. Lipids are fatty substances, which may be naturally occurring or synthetic lipids. For example, lipids include fatty droplets that occur naturally in the cytoplasm as well as such compounds that contain long-chain aliphatic hydrocarbons and their derivatives such as fatty acids, alcohols, amines, amino alcohols, and aldehydes.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the vector is a lentiviral vector.
Preparation
The invention provides a composition comprising a CAR-T cell according to the first aspect of the invention, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, diluent or excipient. In one embodiment, the formulation is a liquid formulation. Preferably, the formulation is an injectionIt is used for injection. Preferably, the CAR-T cells are present in the formulation at a concentration of 1X 103-1×108Individual cells/ml, more preferably 1X 104-1×107Individual cells/ml.
In one embodiment, the formulation may include buffers such as neutral buffered saline, sulfate buffered saline, and the like; carbohydrates such as glucose, mannose, sucrose or dextran, mannitol; a protein; polypeptides or amino acids such as glycine; an antioxidant; chelating agents such as EDTA or glutathione; adjuvants (e.g., aluminum hydroxide); and a preservative. The formulations of the present invention are preferably formulated for intravenous administration.
Therapeutic applications
The invention includes therapeutic applications of cells (e.g., T cells) transduced with Lentiviral Vectors (LV) encoding expression cassettes of the invention. The transduced T cells can target markers FSHR and FOLR1 of tumor cells, can be used for autologous and allogeneic tumor treatment, can be prepared in a large scale, have uniform and stable quality, and can be used for any patient at any time.
Accordingly, the present invention also provides a method of stimulating a T cell-mediated immune response to a target cell population or tissue of a mammal comprising the steps of: administering to the mammal the CAR-T cells of the invention.
In one embodiment, the invention includes a class of cell therapies in which T cells are genetically modified to express a CAR of the invention, and the CAR-T cells are injected into a recipient in need thereof. The injected cells are capable of killing tumor cells of the recipient. Unlike antibody therapy, CAR-T cells are able to replicate in vivo, resulting in long-term persistence that can lead to sustained tumor control.
In one embodiment, the CAR-T cells of the invention can undergo robust in vivo T cell expansion and can last for an extended amount of time. In addition, the CAR-mediated immune response can be part of an adoptive immunotherapy step, wherein the CAR-modified T cell induces an immune response specific to the antigen binding domain in the CAR. For example, anti-FSH CAR-T cells elicit a specific immune response against FSHR-expressing cells.
Although the data disclosed herein specifically disclose lentiviral vectors comprising anti-FOLR 1-FSHRscFv, a human Fc hinge region, an ICOS transmembrane and intracellular region, and 4-1BB and CD3 zeta signaling domains, the invention should be construed to include any number of variations on each of the construct components.
Treatable cancers include tumors that are not vascularized or have not substantially vascularized, as well as vascularized tumors. The cancer may comprise a non-solid tumor (such as a hematological tumor, e.g., leukemia and lymphoma) or may comprise a solid tumor. The types of cancer treated with the CARs of the invention include, but are not limited to, carcinomas, blastomas and sarcomas, and certain leukemias or lymphoid malignancies, benign and malignant tumors, such as sarcomas, carcinomas and melanomas. Adult tumors/cancers and pediatric tumors/cancers are also included.
A solid tumor is an abnormal mass of tissue that generally does not contain cysts or fluid regions. Solid tumors can be benign or malignant. Different types of solid tumors are named for the cell types that form them (such as sarcomas, carcinomas, and lymphomas). Examples of solid tumors such as sarcomas and carcinomas include fibrosarcoma, myxosarcoma, liposarcoma mesothelioma, lymphoid malignancies, pancreatic cancer, ovarian cancer.
The CAR-immune cells of the invention may also be used as a type of vaccine for ex vivo immunization and/or in vivo therapy of mammals. Preferably, the mammal is a human.
For ex vivo immunization, at least one of the following occurs in vitro prior to administration of the cells into a mammal: i) expanding the cell, ii) introducing a nucleic acid encoding the CAR into the cell, and/or iii) cryopreserving the cell.
Ex vivo procedures are well known in the art and are discussed more fully below. Briefly, cells are isolated from a mammal (preferably a human) and genetically modified (i.e., transduced or transfected in vitro) with a vector expressing a CAR disclosed herein. The CAR-modified cells can be administered to a mammalian recipient to provide a therapeutic benefit. The mammalian recipient can be a human, and the CAR-modified cells can be autologous with respect to the recipient. Alternatively, the cells may be allogeneic, syngeneic (syngeneic), or xenogeneic with respect to the recipient.
In addition to using cell-based vaccines for ex vivo immunization, the present invention also provides compositions and methods for in vivo immunization to elicit an immune response against an antigen in a patient.
The invention provides a method of treating a tumor comprising administering to a subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a CAR-immune cell of the invention.
The CAR-immune cells of the invention can be administered alone or as a pharmaceutical composition in combination with diluents and/or with other components such as IL-2, IL-17 or other cytokines or cell populations. Briefly, a pharmaceutical composition of the invention may comprise a target cell population as described herein, in combination with one or more pharmaceutically or physiologically acceptable carriers, diluents, or excipients. Such compositions may include buffers such as neutral buffered saline, sulfate buffered saline, and the like; carbohydrates such as glucose, mannose, sucrose or dextran, mannitol; a protein; polypeptides or amino acids such as glycine; an antioxidant; chelating agents such as EDTA or glutathione; adjuvants (e.g., aluminum hydroxide); and a preservative. The compositions of the present invention are preferably formulated for intravenous administration.
The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention may be administered in a manner suitable for the disease to be treated (or prevented). The number and frequency of administration will be determined by such factors as the condition of the patient, and the type and severity of the patient's disease-although the appropriate dosage may be determined by clinical trials.
When referring to an "immunologically effective amount", "an anti-tumor effective amount", "a tumor-inhibiting effective amount", or a "therapeutic amount", the precise amount of the composition of the invention to be administered can be determined by a physician, taking into account the age, weight, tumor size, extent of infection or metastasis, and individual differences in the condition of the patient (subject). It is possible to generally point out: pharmaceutical compositions comprising T cells described herein can be in the range of 104To 109Dosage of individual cells/kg body weight, preferably 105To 106Doses of individual cells per kg body weight (including all integer values within those ranges) are administered. T cell compositions may also be used in these dosesAnd (4) performing secondary application. Cells can be administered by using infusion techniques well known in immunotherapy (see, e.g., Rosenberg et al, New Eng.J.of Med.319:1676, 1988). Optimal dosages and treatment regimens for a particular patient can be readily determined by those skilled in the medical arts by monitoring the patient for signs of disease and adjusting the treatment accordingly.
Administration of the subject composition may be carried out in any convenient manner, including by spraying, injection, swallowing, infusion, implantation or transplantation. The compositions described herein may be administered to a patient subcutaneously, intradermally, intratumorally, intranodal, intraspinally, intramuscularly, by intravenous (i.v.) injection, or intraperitoneally. In one embodiment, the T cell composition of the invention is administered to a patient by intradermal or subcutaneous injection. In another embodiment, the T cell composition of the invention is preferably administered by i.v. injection. The composition of T cells can be injected directly into the tumor, lymph node or site of infection.
In certain embodiments of the invention, cells activated and expanded using the methods described herein or other methods known in the art for expanding T cells to therapeutic levels are administered to a patient in conjunction with (e.g., prior to, concurrently with, or subsequent to) any number of relevant treatment modalities, including but not limited to treatment with: such as bevacizumab, megestrol acetate dispersible tablet, paclitaxel injection, ifosfamide, treatment of ovarian cancer patients with ifosfamide for injection. In further embodiments, the CAR-immune cells of the invention can be used in combination with: chemotherapy, radiation, immunosuppressive agents such as cyclosporine, azathioprine, methotrexate, mycophenolate mofetil, and FK506, antibodies, or other immunotherapeutic agents. In a further embodiment, the cell composition of the invention is administered to the patient in conjunction with (e.g., prior to, concurrently with, or subsequent to) bone marrow transplantation with a chemotherapeutic agent such as fludarabine, external beam radiation therapy (XRT), cyclophosphamide. For example, in one embodiment, the subject may undergo standard treatment with high-dose chemotherapy followed by peripheral blood stem cell transplantation. In some embodiments, after transplantation, the subject receives an injection of the expanded immune cells of the invention. In an additional embodiment, the expanded cells are administered pre-or post-surgery.
The dosage of the above treatments administered to a patient will vary with the precise nature of the condition being treated and the recipient of the treatment. The proportion of doses administered to a human can be effected in accordance with accepted practice in the art. Typically, 1X 10 may be used per treatment or per course of treatment 61 to 1010The CAR-immune cells of the invention are administered to a patient, for example, by intravenous infusion.
The main advantages of the invention include:
1) because of tumor heterogeneity, ovarian cancer treatment may not be well achieved using a single target, in this patent we constructed CAR-T cells using FOLR1 antibody in combination with FSH. A wider range of ovarian cancer tumor cells can be covered.
2) Because of the limitations of current genetic modification methods, it is difficult to achieve 100% modification of the reinfused T cells. The invention optimizes the structure on the basis of CAR-T, so that the CAR-T secretes BiTE, can kill double targets, and meanwhile mobilizes the returned T cells to a greater extent to kill tumor cells.
The invention is further illustrated by the following examples: the following examples are illustrative and are intended to be purely exemplary of the invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. It is expressly intended that all such similar substitutes and modifications apparent to those skilled in the art are deemed to be included in the invention. The methods used in the present invention are, unless otherwise specified, conventional in the art; the reagents of the present invention are conventional in the art unless otherwise specified.

FR1scFV-28- (FSH-BITE) CAR-T cell 1X 106 cell number was resuspended in 200. mu. L X-VIVO 15 medium, respectively, and then added to the upper chamber of 0.4- μm Transwell (hanging, 3413); unedited T cells and target cells (ES-2-FR1-FSHR) were resuspended in 500. mu.L of X-VIVO-15 medium at an E: T ratio (20:1 and 10:1) and added to the lower chamber of the Transwell, the number of target cells was 1.5E 5; carefully placing the upper chamber into the lower chamber, and culturing in an incubator for 48 hours; the plates were removed from the co-culture overnight and 500. mu.L of the lower chamber cells and supernatant were removed. Centrifugation at 300g for 5min, pipetting 150. mu.L of supernatant/well with a multi-channel pipette and transferring to a new 96-well cell culture plate for subsequent IFN-. gamma.ELISA detection, counting the cells in the pellet, according to CountBrightTMAbsolute Counting Beads, for flow cytometry (Thermo Fisher, C36950) instructions were used for Counting the operations. The counting results (see fig. 5) show: only the Mock-T and FR1scFV-28- (FSH-BITE) exist at the same time, the target cells can be killed, the number of the target cells is reduced, and the Mock-T or FR1scFV-28- (FSH-BITE) added alone has no obvious killing effect on the target cells.
2.5 cytokine Release assay
We performed cytokine assays on supernatants collected from the transwell experiments, and performed ELISA to detect the release of IFN-. gamma.cytokines upon killing of CAR-T cells according to the instructions of the IFN gamma Human Uncoated ELISA Kit (Invitrogen, # 88-7316-77). The results show (see fig. 6): the release amount of IFN-gamma in FR1scFV-28- (FSH-BiTE) group was higher than that in the control group.
2.6 detection of binding of BiTE-sectioning-CAR-T culture supernatant to Mock-T
FR1scFV-28- (FSH-BITE) CAR-T and control Supernatant (SP) for day 12 were collected and concentrated by about 100X using an ultrafiltration tube. It was then incubated with Mock-T cells for about 30min, then stained with flow antibodies to APC-anti-Flag, and then detected with a flow meter using Flowjo for analysis.
The results are shown in FIG. 7. FR1scFV-28- (FSH-BITE) SP binds to Mock-T, i.e. FSH-BiTE protein is present in the supernatant, which binds to Mock-T.
2.7 BiTE-sectioning-CAR-T culture supernatant mediated killing assay
We collected FR1scFV-28- (FSH-BITE) CAR-T Supernatant (SP) for day 7 of day for killing experiments. Plating ES-2-hibit-FR1-FSHR cells, plating 4E3 cells in each well of a 96-well plate, removing supernatant after the cells are attached to the wall, and then mixing the cells according to the E: T ratio of 10:1 untransduced MOCK-T cells (20 uL/well) and finally 80uL of the supernatant collected above per well, while setting the maximum release group (target cells only, but lysis treatment) and the spontaneous group (target cells only). The culture was carried out at 37 ℃ in an incubator with 5% CO2 for about 20 h. Cell killing was tested as described above.
The results are shown in FIG. 8. FR1scFV-28- (FSH-BiTE) SP contains a BITE protein and the protein has activity, and can mediate Mock-T to kill tumor cells.
The comprehensive results show that: killing using dual-target CAR-T was stronger than single-target CARs. Namely, the CAR-T with double targets has better anti-tumor effect.
