Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of immune targeting therapy, and particularly relates to construction and application of low-pH targeting CAR-T cells.
Background
CAR-T, collectively chimeric antigen receptorT-cell, is a chimeric antigen receptor T cell. CAR-T preparation the first step is to isolate T cells from the patient: peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC cells) of the patient are collected by leukapheresis, and specific T cell subsets, such as cd4+, cd8+, cd25+ or cd62l+ T cells, are isolated; the second step is to engineer T cells: generating main specific signals through T cell receptor signals and co-stimulation signals such as CD28, 4-1BB or OX40 signals, so as to activate T cells, and introducing a CAR gene into the activated T cells through electroporation, lentivirus or retrovirus vectors for genetic modification so as to obtain CAR-T cells capable of expressing the CAR gene; the third step is amplification: in vitro culture, and reinfusion after large number of amplified CAR-T cells. The CAR-T therapy is a novel accurate targeted therapy for treating tumors, achieves a good effect on clinical tumor treatment through optimization and improvement in recent years, and is a novel tumor immunotherapy method which is very promising, can be accurate, rapid and efficient, and can possibly cure cancers.
Ideally, the target to which the CAR-T cell is directed is expressed only on the surface of the tumor cell (or highly expressed), and not on other normal cells (or expressed very low). Such as CD-19CAR, as the most successful CAR-T treatment method, has been largely successful in that CD19 is a very good specific marker for immature B cells, which is expressed only on the surface of immature B cells, and other somatic cells are not. However, since tumor cells are all produced from the cancerous transformation of normal cells, it is actually difficult to find specific markers that are present only on the surface of tumor cells, but not on the surface of normal cells. And cancer cells undergo extensive genetic alterations upon division in tumors, including epigenetic regulatory site mutations, gene deletions, gene duplications, and chromosomal rearrangements, among others, which are unevenly distributed in individual tumors. The heterogeneity of cell surface specific biomarker expression within and between tumors also significantly reduces the effectiveness of drugs targeting specific biomarkers. This is one of the reasons that CAR-T therapy has not yet made a breakthrough in solid tumors.
pHLIP (pH-low polypeptide) is a pH sensitive polypeptide, and a typical pHLIP is a peptide of about 40 amino acids. Under acidic conditions, pHLIP can spontaneously intercalate into cell membranes via transmembrane α -helices and can transfer polar materials attached to its intercalated C-terminal end to the cytoplasm of target cells, this transformation being due to protonation and charge neutralization of aspartic acid residues in the pHLIP membrane transmembrane region at acidic pH. pHLIP insertion is pH dependent, and studies have shown that pHLIP tends to aggregate in acidic diseased tissue with high specificity. In solid tumors, the tumors are always acidic in the rapid growth process under the actions of glycolytic metabolism enhancement (Warburg effect), carbonic anhydrase and hypoxia/ischemia secondary to the increase of blood supply, the extracellular pH value usually generated by the tumors is 6.2-6.9, the pH value on the surfaces of tumor cells is more acidic (pH value is 6.0-6.5), and the pH value of healthy tissues is 7.4, so that the acidic microenvironment of the tumors provides a possibility for selectively targeting the tumors and retaining the healthy tissues. At present, in view of the characteristics of pHLIP, although there have been applications of pHLIP in tumor cell targeted therapies, such as attaching phalloidin (a cell-impermeable polar toxin) to the C-terminus of pHLIP, disrupting proliferation of HeLa, JC and M4A4 cancer cells, etc., there has been no therapeutic means for attaching pHLIP to T cells.
