Description

トレハロースを含む血球系細胞保存用液Blood cell cell preservation solution containing trehalose
 本発明は、トレハロース若しくはその誘導体又はこれらの塩(以下、これらを総称して「トレハロース類」ということがある)を含み、かつ、水素イオン指数(pH)が4.5~7.2である血球系細胞保存用液(以下、「本件血球系細胞保存用液」ということがある);トレハロース類を含み、かつ、pHが4.5~7.2の範囲内である液(以下、「本件トレハロース類含有液」ということがある)中で、任意の期間、血球系細胞を保存する方法;等に関する。 The present invention contains trehalose or a derivative thereof or a salt thereof (hereinafter, these may be collectively referred to as "trehaloses"), and has a hydrogen ion index (pH) of 4.5 to 7.2. Blood cell cell preservation solution (hereinafter, may be referred to as "the blood cell cell preservation solution"); A solution containing trehalose and having a pH in the range of 4.5 to 7.2 (hereinafter, "" A method for preserving blood cell lineage cells for an arbitrary period in the trehalose-containing solution); etc.
 がん免疫細胞療法は、がんを攻撃する働きを有する免疫細胞を体外に取り出し、その働きを強化後、再び体内に戻すという最先端の細胞医療である。例えば、樹状細胞ワクチン療法、アルファ・ベータT細胞療法(αβT細胞療法)、ガンマ・デルタT細胞療法(γδT細胞療法)、CTL療法、ナチュラルキラー細胞療法(NK細胞療法)等のT細胞を用いた療法が実践されている。近年、末梢血等から採取したT細胞に、がん細胞表面抗原を認識する一本鎖抗体と、T細胞の活性化を誘導するシグナル伝達領域を融合させた人工的なキメラタンパク質(すなわち、キメラ抗原受容体[Chimeric Antigen Receptor;CAR])をコードする遺伝子を導入することにより得られたCAR発現T細胞(CAR-T細胞)キメラ抗原受容体(Chimeric Antigen Receptor:以下、「CAR」ともいう)を用いたがん免疫療法が世界中で臨床試験が進行しており、白血病やリンパ腫などの造血器悪性腫瘍の治療において、有効性を示す結果が得られている。 Cancer immunotherapy is a state-of-the-art cell therapy in which immune cells that have the function of attacking cancer are taken out of the body, strengthened, and then returned to the body. For example, T cells such as dendritic cell vaccine therapy, alpha beta T cell therapy (αβ T cell therapy), gamma delta T cell therapy (γδ T cell therapy), CTL therapy, and natural killer cell therapy (NK cell therapy) are used. The therapy that was used is being practiced. In recent years, an artificial chimeric protein (that is, chimeric) in which T cells collected from peripheral blood or the like are fused with a single-stranded antibody that recognizes a cancer cell surface antigen and a signal transduction region that induces T cell activation (that is, chimeric). CAR-expressing T cells (CAR-T cells) chimeric antigen receptor (hereinafter also referred to as "CAR") obtained by introducing a gene encoding an antigen receptor [Chimeric Antigen Receptor; CAR]). Clinical trials of cancer immunotherapy using T cell are underway all over the world, and results showing its effectiveness in the treatment of hematopoietic malignant tumors such as leukemia and lymphoma have been obtained.
 がん免疫療法において、移植に用いるT細胞を保存する場合、液体中での保存では細胞生存率を良好に保つことができない。このため、移植用T細胞を長期保存する場合、凍結保存することが一般的である。しかし、凍結保存液中には、通常DMSO、グリセロール等の凍結保存剤が添加されているため、凍結保存した幹細胞やT細胞を解凍した後、移植治療を行う前に凍結保存剤を除去する必要があり、手間がかかることが問題とされていた。また、凍結保存液に凍結保存剤を添加しても凍結時の水の結晶化による細胞骨格のダメージが大きく、凍結融解後の細胞生存率が低下することも問題とされていた。このため、簡便性に優れ、且つ細胞生存率の低下を抑制できる細胞保存液の開発が急務とされていた。 In cancer immunotherapy, when T cells used for transplantation are stored, the cell viability cannot be maintained well by storage in liquid. Therefore, when T cells for transplantation are stored for a long period of time, they are generally cryopreserved. However, since cryopreservatives such as DMSO and glycerol are usually added to the cryopreservation solution, it is necessary to remove the cryopreservative after thawing the cryopreserved stem cells and T cells and before performing transplantation treatment. There was a problem that it took time and effort. In addition, even if a cryopreservative is added to the cryopreservation solution, the cytoskeleton is significantly damaged by the crystallization of water during freezing, and the cell viability after freezing and thawing is lowered. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a cell preservation solution that is excellent in convenience and can suppress a decrease in cell viability.
 本発明者らは、トレハロースを含む、間葉系幹細胞等の哺乳動物細胞保存液を報告している(特許文献1及び2)。かかる特許文献に記載の知見等に基づき、最近、3(w/v)%のトレハロース及び5(w/v)%のデキストラン40を含む細胞懸濁保存液であるセルストア(登録商標)S(大塚製薬工場社製)と、3(w/v)%のトレハロースを含む細胞洗浄保存液であるセルストア(登録商標)W(大塚製薬工場社製)が製造・販売されている。 The present inventors have reported a mammalian cell preservation solution such as mesenchymal stem cells containing trehalose (Patent Documents 1 and 2). Based on the findings described in such patent documents, Cellstore® S (registered trademark), which is a cell suspension preservation solution containing 3 (w / v)% trehalose and 5 (w / v)% dextran 40, has recently been introduced.

 本発明者らは、血球系細胞をトレハロース含有細胞保存液で保存すると、細胞凝集を起こすことを見出した。本発明の課題は、血球系細胞をトレハロース含有細胞保存液中で保存したときに生じる細胞生存率低下、細胞凝集、保存容器への細胞接着を効果的に抑制でき、かつ、血球系細胞を、哺乳動物の生体内に投与したときに、哺乳動物の生態に悪影響を及ぼす可能性の低い血球系細胞保存用液等を提供することにある。 The present inventors have found that when blood cell lineage cells are stored in a trehalose-containing cell preservation solution, cell aggregation occurs. The object of the present invention is to effectively suppress the decrease in cell viability, cell aggregation, and cell adhesion to the storage container that occur when blood cell lines are stored in a trehalose-containing cell storage solution, and to obtain blood cells. An object of the present invention is to provide a blood cell cell preservation solution or the like that has a low possibility of adversely affecting the ecology of a mammal when administered into a living body of a mammal.
 本発明者らは、上記課題を解決すべく鋭意研究を続けている。その過程において、ヒト末梢血由来CD8陽性(+)T細胞を、前述したセルストアW中に保存したところ、細胞凝集が認められた。そこで、トレハロース含有液について検討を重ねたところ、トレハロース含有液のpHを特定の範囲に調整することにより、ヒト末梢血由来CD8+T細胞を保存した場合により生じる細胞凝集を効果的に抑制することに加え、保存容器への細胞接着も効果的に抑制することができることを見出した。また、pHを特定の範囲に調整したトレハロース含有液は、ヒト末梢血由来CD8+T細胞を保存した場合により生じる細胞生存率低下の抑制効果が高いことも確認した。さらに、pHを特定の範囲に調整したトレハロース含有液中に保存した際の細胞凝集の抑制効果は、血球系細胞に特異的であることも確認した。本発明は、これらの知見に基づき、完成するに至ったものである。 The present inventors are continuing diligent research to solve the above problems. In the process, when human peripheral blood-derived CD8-positive (+) T cells were stored in the above-mentioned cell store W, cell aggregation was observed. Therefore, as a result of repeated studies on trehalose-containing solutions, in addition to effectively suppressing cell aggregation caused by storage of human peripheral blood-derived CD8 + T cells by adjusting the pH of the trehalose-containing solution to a specific range. , It was found that cell adhesion to the storage container can also be effectively suppressed. It was also confirmed that the trehalose-containing solution having the pH adjusted to a specific range has a high effect of suppressing the decrease in cell viability caused by the storage of human peripheral blood-derived CD8 + T cells. Furthermore, it was also confirmed that the inhibitory effect on cell aggregation when stored in a trehalose-containing solution having a pH adjusted to a specific range is specific to blood cell lineage cells. The present invention has been completed based on these findings.

 本発明によると、血球系細胞を液体中に保存したときに生じる細胞生存率低下を効果的に抑制することができる。このため、良質な血球系細胞による細胞移植を実施することができ、治療効果の向上が期待できる。また、血球系細胞を移植する際、多くの場合、輸液バッグ内の血球系細胞を含む液を生体内へ点滴注入するが、点滴している間に、輸液バッグ内の血球系細胞同士が凝集し、カニューレ中に詰まったり、肺静脈等の細い血管中に塞栓を形成してしまうリスクがある。本発明によると、血球系細胞を液体中で保存したときに生じる細胞凝集を効果的に抑制することもできるため、これらリスクを低減することができる。また、血球系細胞を保存した際、特にプラスチック素材(例えば、輸液バッグやカニューレ)に血球系細胞が接着するという問題がある。本発明によると、血球系細胞の保存容器への接着を効果的に抑制することができる。さらに、トレハロース類は、生体に悪影響を及ぼす可能性の低い二糖類であることから、血球系細胞を本件トレハロース類含有液中で保存した後、新しい移植用液に置換することなく、そのまま生体内へ投与することができる。 According to the present invention, it is possible to effectively suppress the decrease in cell viability that occurs when blood cell lineage cells are stored in a liquid. Therefore, cell transplantation using high-quality blood cell lineage cells can be performed, and improvement in therapeutic effect can be expected. In addition, when transplanting blood cells, in many cases, the fluid containing the blood cells in the infusion bag is infused into the living body, but during the infusion, the blood cells in the infusion bag aggregate. However, there is a risk of clogging in the cannula or forming an embolus in a small blood vessel such as a pulmonary vein. According to the present invention, cell aggregation that occurs when blood cell lineage cells are stored in a liquid can be effectively suppressed, so that these risks can be reduced. Further, when the blood cell line cells are stored, there is a problem that the blood cell line cells adhere to a plastic material (for example, an infusion bag or a cannula). According to the present invention, adhesion of blood cell lineage cells to a storage container can be effectively suppressed. Furthermore, since trehalose is a disaccharide that has a low possibility of adversely affecting the living body, the blood cell lineage cells are stored in the trehalose-containing solution and then in vivo without being replaced with a new transplantation solution. Can be administered to.

3-2.結果
 細胞保存後の細胞回収率を算出した結果、2.5%ALBS(比較例6)やLRT-3(実施例3)中にT細胞を保存すると、いずれの保存時間においてもほぼ全ての細胞が回収できているのに対して、LRT-7(比較例2)中に保存した場合には、いずれの保存時間においても10%程度の細胞が回収されていないことが示された(表10、図3A及び図4A参照)。
 この結果は、血球系細胞(特にT細胞)を、トレハロースを含み、かつ、pHが約4.5~約7.2の範囲の液中に保存すると、トレハロースを含むが、pHが上記範囲外の液中に保存した場合と比べ、保存したときに生じる保存容器への接着を効果的に抑制できることを示している。
3-2. Results As a result of calculating the cell recovery rate after cell storage, when T cells were stored in 2.5% ALBS (Comparative Example 6) or LRT-3 (Example 3), almost all cells were stored at any storage time. However, when stored in LRT-7 (Comparative Example 2), it was shown that about 10% of the cells were not recovered at any storage time (Table 10). , See FIGS. 3A and 4A).
This result shows that when blood cell line cells (particularly T cells) are stored in a liquid containing trehalose and having a pH in the range of about 4.5 to about 7.2, trehalose is contained, but the pH is outside the above range. It is shown that the adhesion to the storage container that occurs when the cells are stored can be effectively suppressed as compared with the case where the cells are stored in the liquid.
 また、細胞保存後の細胞生存率を算出した結果、トレハロースを含む液であるLRT-3及びLRT-7に保存すると(実施例3及び比較例2)、トレハロースを含まない液である2.5%ALBS中に保存した場合(比較例6)と比べ、いずれの保存時間においても細胞生存率が上昇し、特に、T細胞をLRT-3(実施例3)中に保存した場合にその効果が高いことが示された(表11、図3B及び図4B参照)。

Further, as a result of calculating the cell viability after cell preservation, when stored in LRT-3 and LRT-7 which are solutions containing trehalose (Example 3 and Comparative Example 2), it is a solution containing no trehalose 2.5. Compared with the case of storage in% ALBS (Comparative Example 6), the cell viability increased at any storage time, and the effect was particularly effective when T cells were stored in LRT-3 (Example 3). It was shown to be high (see Table 11, FIGS. 3B and 4B).
This result shows that when blood cell line cells (particularly T cells) are stored in a liquid containing trehalose and having a pH in the range of about 4.5 to about 7.2, the pH is within the above range, but trehalose. It is shown that cell death that occurs when stored can be effectively suppressed as compared with the case where it is stored in a liquid containing no trehalose or when it is stored in a liquid containing trehalose but having a pH outside the above range.

 細胞保存後の細胞回収率を算出した結果、2.5%ALBS(比較例7)やLRT-9(実施例7)中にT細胞を保存すると、いずれの保存時間においてもほぼ全ての細胞が回収できているのに対して、LRT-10(比較例8)中に保存した場合には、10%程度の細胞が回収されていないことが示された(表13、図5A参照)。
 この結果は、血球系細胞(特にT細胞)を、トレハロースを含み、かつ、pHが約4.5~約7.2の範囲の液中に保存すると、トレハロースを含むが、pHが上記範囲外の液中に保存した場合と比べ、保存したときに生じる保存容器への接着を効果的に抑制できることを示している。
4-2. Results As a result of calculating the cell recovery rate after cell storage, when T cells were stored in 2.5% ALBS (Comparative Example 7) or LRT-9 (Example 7), almost all cells were stored at any storage time. However, when stored in LRT-10 (Comparative Example 8), it was shown that about 10% of the cells were not recovered (see Table 13, FIG. 5A).
This result shows that when blood cell line cells (particularly T cells) are stored in a liquid containing trehalose and having a pH in the range of about 4.5 to about 7.2, trehalose is contained, but the pH is outside the above range. It is shown that the adhesion to the storage container that occurs when the cells are stored can be effectively suppressed as compared with the case where the cells are stored in the liquid.
 また、細胞保存後の生細胞回収率を算出した結果、トレハロースを含む液であるLRT-9(実施例7)及びLRT-10(比較例8)に保存すると、トレハロースを含まない液である2.5%ALBS(比較例7)中に保存した場合と比べ、細胞生存率が上昇し、特に、T細胞をLRT-9(実施例7)中に保存した場合にその効果が高いことが示された(表13、図5B参照)。
 この結果は、血球系細胞(特にT細胞)を、トレハロースを含み、かつ、pHが約4.5~約7.2の範囲の液中に保存すると、トレハロース不含の液中に保存した場合や、トレハロースを含むが、pHが上記範囲外の液中に保存した場合と比べ、保存したときに生じる細胞死を効果的に抑制できることを示している。
Further, as a result of calculating the viable cell recovery rate after cell preservation, when stored in LRT-9 (Example 7) and LRT-10 (Comparative Example 8), which are solutions containing trehalose, the solutions do not contain trehalose2. It was shown that the cell viability was increased as compared with the case of storing in 5.5% ALBS (Comparative Example 7), and the effect was particularly high when the T cells were stored in LRT-9 (Example 7). (See Table 13, FIG. 5B).
This result shows that when blood cell line cells (particularly T cells) are stored in a solution containing trehalose and having a pH in the range of about 4.5 to about 7.2, they are stored in a solution containing no trehalose. It is shown that cell death caused by storage can be effectively suppressed as compared with the case where trehalose is contained but the pH is outside the above range.

[Evaluation of test solution]
The storage of hBM-MSC in the test solution and the subsequent measurement of the cell viability and the number of cell aggregates were carried out according to the following procedures [1] to [6].
[1] A part (20 μL) of the lactated Ringer's solution containing hBM-MSC prepared by culturing according to the method described in the above item [Preparation of lactated Ringer's solution containing hBM-MSC] is previously subjected to trypan blue staining solution (Gibco). (Manufactured by) 20 μL was added to a 1.5 mL microtube. The cell suspension mixed with the trypan blue stain solution is separated into a one-cell counter, and the total number of cells and the number of trypan blue positive cells (dead cells) are measured using an optical microscope (ECLIPSE TS100, manufactured by Nikon Corporation). Therefore, the cell viability before storage was calculated.
[2] The remaining cell suspension, as hBM-MSC becomes 2.5 × 10 5 cells, was dispensed into a low adhesion conical tube Sutemufuru (manufactured by Sumitomo Bakelite) by 0.5mL min After centrifugation (600 × g, 5 minutes, room temperature), the supernatant was removed, and the four test solutions (LR-6.5, W-6.5, LR-7.2, and LR-7.2) shown in Table 15 and 0.5 mL of W-7.2) was added, the cell pellet was suspended, and the cells were stored at 25 ° C. for 24 hours.
[3] After storage for 24 hours, insert the tip of the tip visually from the bottom of the tube containing the cells to a position of about 5 mm, and gently stir (using a 1 mL pipette, with a liquid volume of 250 μL). Pipetting was performed 10 times).
[4] 10 μL of the solution immediately after stirring was separated into a one-cell counter, and the number of cell aggregates in nine areas of the cell counting section of the one-cell counter was measured. In addition, those in which three or more cells were adhered were judged as cell aggregates.
[5] Again, insert the tip of the tip visually from the bottom of the tube containing the cell-containing solution to a position of about 5 mm, and gently stir (using a 1 mL pipette, pipetting with a liquid volume of 250 μL). Twice).
[6] 20 μL of the solution immediately after stirring is collected in a 1.5 mL microtube, mixed with 20 μL of trypan blue staining solution (manufactured by Gibco), and then divided into a one-cell counter, and then separated into an optical microscope (ECLIPSE TS100, Nikon). The cell viability was calculated by measuring the total number of cells and the number of trypan blue positive cells (dead cells). The cell viability is calculated using the formula "(total number of living cells / total number of cells) x 100 = ([total number of cells-number of dead cells] / total number of cells) x 100 = cell viability (%)". Calculated.
5-2.結果
 細胞保存後の生じる細胞凝集塊を測定したところ、hBM-MSCを、W-6.5やW-7.2中に保存すると、細胞凝集塊が認められたのに対して、hBM-MSCを、LR-6.5やLR-7.2に保存した場合は、細胞凝集塊はほとんど認められなかった(表16、図6A参照)。
 この結果は、hBM-MSCにおいては、トレハロースを含み、かつ、pHが約6.5~約7.2の範囲の液中に保存しても、保存中に生じる細胞凝集塊を抑制できないことを示している。
5-2. Results When the cell aggregates generated after cell storage were measured, when hBM-MSCs were stored in W-6.5 or W-7.2, cell aggregates were observed, whereas hBM-MSCs were observed. When stored in LR-6.5 or LR-7.2, almost no cell aggregates were observed (see Table 16, FIG. 6A).
This result shows that hBM-MSC cannot suppress cell aggregates generated during storage even if it contains trehalose and is stored in a liquid having a pH in the range of about 6.5 to about 7.2. Shown.
 また、hBM-MSCを、W-6.5やW-7.2中に保存すると、LR-6.5やLR-7.2に保存した場合と比べ、いずれの液についても細胞生存率が上昇した(表16、図6B参照)。
 この結果は、hBM-MSCを、トレハロースを含み、かつ、pHが約6.5~約7.2の範囲の液中に保存すると、同じpHのLR中に保存した場合と比べ、保存したときに生じる細胞死を効果的に抑制できることを示している。
In addition, when hBM-MSC was stored in W-6.5 or W-7.2, the cell viability of each solution was higher than that in the case of storing in LR-6.5 or LR-7.2. It increased (see Table 16, FIG. 6B).
This result shows that when hBM-MSC is stored in a liquid containing trehalose and having a pH in the range of about 6.5 to about 7.2, it is compared with the case where it is stored in LR having the same pH. It is shown that the cell death that occurs in the disease can be effectively suppressed.
 これらの結果は、hBM-MSCにおいては、トレハロースを含み、かつ、pHが約6.5~約7.2の範囲の液中に保存すると細胞死は抑制できるが、保存中に生じる細胞凝集塊を抑制できないことを示しており、トレハロースを含み、かつ、pHが約4.5~約7.2の範囲の液中に保存した際の細胞凝集塊の抑制効果は、血球系細胞(特にT細胞)に特異的であることを示している。 These results show that in hBM-MSC, cell death can be suppressed when stored in a liquid containing trehalose and having a pH in the range of about 6.5 to about 7.2, but cell aggregates generated during storage can be suppressed. The effect of suppressing cell agglutination when stored in a liquid containing trehalose and having a pH in the range of about 4.5 to about 7.2 is that blood cell cells (particularly T) cannot be suppressed. It shows that it is specific to cells).
