一种多价适配体修饰的装载有STING激动剂的肿瘤疫苗及其 制备方法和应用A multivalent aptamer-modified tumor vaccine loaded with STING agonist and its Preparation method and application

技术领域technical field

本发明涉及心肌梗死技术领域,尤其是一种多价适配体修饰的装载有STING激动剂的肿瘤疫苗及其制备方法和用途及其应用。The invention relates to the technical field of myocardial infarction, in particular to a multivalent aptamer-modified tumor vaccine loaded with a STING agonist and its preparation method, use and application.

背景技术Background technique

通过调节患者自身免疫系统来对抗癌症的癌症免疫疗法为临床癌症治疗带来了巨大希望。在免疫疗法中,激活患者对特定肿瘤抗原的适应性免疫系统以控制肿瘤生长的癌症疫苗越来越受到关注。然而,即使是同一类型的癌症也可能在患者之间表现出显着的遗传异质性,因此只拥有单一抗原(如肿瘤特异性蛋白、肽和脱氧核糖核酸DNA片段)的常规癌症疫苗无法诱导强烈的免疫反应。Cancer immunotherapy against cancer by modulating the patient's own immune system holds great promise for clinical cancer treatment. In immunotherapy, cancer vaccines that activate a patient's adaptive immune system against specific tumor antigens to control tumor growth have received increasing attention. However, even cancers of the same type can exhibit significant genetic heterogeneity among patients, so conventional cancer vaccines that only possess single antigens (such as tumor-specific proteins, peptides, and deoxyribonucleic acid DNA fragments) cannot induce Strong immune response.

全肿瘤细胞裂解物(WTCL)可以提供全面的患者特异性肿瘤相关抗原(TAA),从而可引发针对广谱肿瘤相关抗原免疫系统的更强免疫力。 WTCL已被用作癌症疫苗开发的肿瘤抗原。然而,肿瘤细胞激活抗原呈递细胞(APC)的能力受到严格控制,以通过各种机制逃避免疫监视系统,从而限制了潜在的基于WTCL的肿瘤疫苗的效能。因此,对初始肿瘤细胞进行修饰以提高其免疫原性和APCs敏感性有望增强基于WTCL 制备的肿瘤疫苗的抗肿瘤免疫效果。Whole tumor cell lysates (WTCLs) can provide a comprehensive collection of patient-specific tumor-associated antigens (TAAs), which can elicit stronger immunity against the immune system against a broad spectrum of tumor-associated antigens. WTCL has been used as a tumor antigen for cancer vaccine development. However, the ability of tumor cells to activate antigen-presenting cells (APCs) is tightly controlled to evade immune surveillance systems through various mechanisms, thereby limiting the efficacy of potential WTCL-based tumor vaccines. Therefore, modification of naive tumor cells to improve their immunogenicity and APCs sensitivity is expected to enhance the antitumor immune effect of WTCL-based tumor vaccines.

和本发明最近似的方案是通过胆固醇修饰的单价适配体直接修饰肿瘤细胞膜,从而制备肿瘤疫苗。但是这种方法制备的适配体是单价形式,和靶标的结合效率很低。我们的方法能够细胞表面制备多价态功能性核酸,这种多价态能够提高对靶标的结合力。另外,我们还在肿瘤疫苗中装载了STING激动剂,能够高更好的激活抗原递呈细胞,而之前的方案则没有相关设计。现有的技术所用的适配体的单价形态对DC细胞的靶向性较低,影响效果。另外也无法有效激活DC细胞,限制了抗原递呈过程。本发明首次在肿瘤细胞上进行RCA反应,从而赋予肿瘤疫苗多价态的功能核酸,同时使用STING激动剂激活肿瘤细胞,使得随后衍生的肿瘤疫苗能更好的激活抗原递呈细胞,更好的激活体内的免疫系统。因此,需要设计一种多价适配体修饰的装载有STING激动剂的肿瘤疫苗及其制备方法和用途。The most similar solution to the present invention is to directly modify tumor cell membranes with cholesterol-modified monovalent aptamers, thereby preparing tumor vaccines. However, the aptamers prepared by this method are monovalent, and the binding efficiency to the target is very low. Our method enables the preparation of functional nucleic acids on the cell surface in a multivalent state that enhances binding to the target. In addition, we have also loaded STING agonists in tumor vaccines, which can activate antigen-presenting cells better, while the previous schemes did not have relevant designs. The monovalent form of the aptamer used in the existing technology has low targeting to DC cells, which affects the effect. In addition, DC cells cannot be effectively activated, which limits the antigen presentation process. The present invention performs RCA reaction on tumor cells for the first time, thereby endowing tumor vaccines with multivalent functional nucleic acids, and at the same time uses STING agonists to activate tumor cells, so that the subsequently derived tumor vaccines can better activate antigen-presenting cells and better Activate the immune system in the body. Therefore, it is necessary to design a multivalent aptamer-modified tumor vaccine loaded with a STING agonist and its preparation method and application.

本发明的有益效果为:The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

1.基于全肿瘤细胞裂解物(WTCL)的肿瘤疫苗包含全面的患者特异性肿瘤相关抗原(TAA),有望用于抗肿瘤免疫治疗。然而,低免疫原性和对DC细胞的低靶向性严重限制了它的治疗效果。在此,本发明一种多价适配体修饰的装载有STING激动剂的肿瘤疫苗从高免疫原性肿瘤细胞的 WTCL开发了一种多价功能性DNA工程肿瘤疫苗,用于抗肿瘤免疫治疗。STING激动剂c-di-GMP的有效胞质递送触发了肿瘤细胞内在的STING信号传导并增加了肿瘤细胞的免疫原性,从而增强了树突状细胞 (DC)对衍生肿瘤疫苗的抗原呈递反应。1. Whole tumor cell lysate (WTCL)-based tumor vaccines contain comprehensive patient-specific tumor-associated antigens (TAAs), which are expected to be used in anti-tumor immunotherapy. However, low immunogenicity and low targeting to DC cells severely limit its therapeutic efficacy. Herein, a multivalent aptamer-modified STING agonist-loaded tumor vaccine was developed from WTCL of highly immunogenic tumor cells to develop a multivalent functional DNA engineered tumor vaccine for anti-tumor immunotherapy . Efficient cytoplasmic delivery of the STING agonist c-di-GMP triggers tumor cell-intrinsic STING signaling and increases tumor cell immunogenicity, thereby enhancing dendritic cell (DC) antigen presentation responses to derived tumor vaccines .

2.此外,我们首先通过在肿瘤细胞表面的酶促扩增过程设计了多价 DCs靶向适体,赋予衍生肿瘤疫苗靶向DCs的能力。在体内,本发明一种多价适配体修饰的装载有STING激动剂的肿瘤疫苗GMP-DCapt-TV可以有效地积聚在淋巴结中,以促进DC摄取并激活STING途径以介导 DC成熟并促进T细胞启动。本发明一种多价适配体修饰的装载有STING 激动剂的肿瘤疫苗GMP-DCapt-TV对肿瘤生长和B16-OVA黑色素瘤的发生具有显着的预防和抑制功效。2. Furthermore, we first designed multivalent DCs-targeting aptamers through an enzymatic amplification process on the surface of tumor cells, endowing the derived tumor vaccine with the ability to target DCs. In vivo, a multivalent aptamer-modified tumor vaccine GMP-DCapt-TV loaded with a STING agonist of the present invention can effectively accumulate in lymph nodes to promote DC uptake and activate the STING pathway to mediate DC maturation and promote T cells primed. A multivalent aptamer-modified tumor vaccine GMP-DCapt-TV loaded with a STING agonist of the present invention has significant preventive and inhibitory effects on tumor growth and the occurrence of B16-OVA melanoma.

3.此外,在B16-OVA黑色素瘤肺转移模型中,肿瘤GMP-DCapt-TV 与抗PD-L1抗体的组合进一步显示出改善的抗肿瘤功效。3. In addition, in the B16-OVA melanoma lung metastasis model, the combination of tumor GMP-DCapt-TV with anti-PD-L1 antibody further showed improved anti-tumor efficacy.

激活cGAS-STING传感通路可以增强和引导对疫苗抗原的适应性免疫反应(如树突状细胞成熟、抗肿瘤巨噬细胞极化、T细胞启动和激活、自然杀伤细胞激活)。除免疫细胞外,最近的报告表明,有缺陷的 STING信号传导有助于肿瘤细胞逃离免疫监视系统。所以,如果用 STING激动剂预处理,垂死的肿瘤细胞会表现出更高的免疫原性,这可以诱导强大的APC抗原呈递和抗肿瘤免疫反应。受此启发,本申请用 STING激动剂预处理的肿瘤细胞,然后制备基于WTCL的肿瘤疫苗。这种疫苗可以表现出更高的免疫原性,并更好地激活APC中的cGAS-STING传感通路,以增强抗原呈递;据我们所知,这种策略尚未应用于肿瘤疫苗的开发。Activation of the cGAS-STING sensing pathway can enhance and direct adaptive immune responses to vaccine antigens (e.g. dendritic cell maturation, antitumor macrophage polarization, T cell priming and activation, natural killer cell activation). In addition to immune cells, recent reports suggest that defective STING signaling helps tumor cells escape immune surveillance. Therefore, dying tumor cells exhibit higher immunogenicity if pretreated with STING agonists, which can induce robust APC antigen presentation and antitumor immune responses. Inspired by this, the applicant pretreated tumor cells with STING agonists, and then prepared WTCL-based tumor vaccines. Such a vaccine could exhibit higher immunogenicity and better activate the cGAS-STING sensing pathway in APCs to enhance antigen presentation; to the best of our knowledge, this strategy has not been applied in tumor vaccine development.

基于功能性核酸(DNA)的细胞工程修饰具有合成简单、修饰方便、可编程性高、生物相容性好等优点,已广泛应用于赋予细胞复合物功能,如适配体、脱氧核糖核酸酶、分子信标等方面。然而常规功能性核酸的单价形式导致其亲和力较弱且容易被核酸酶降解,导致其生物利用度欠佳。滚环扩增(RCA)是一种由phi29聚合酶催化等温扩增环状DNA分子的方法,已广泛用于多价功能核酸的合成。我们期望在细胞膜表面进行RCA反应来工程化设计肿瘤细胞,从而赋予肿瘤囊泡多价DC-SIGN靶向适体以提高DC靶向性。然而,在细胞膜表面进行RCA还没有相关报道,且具有很大的挑战性。Cell engineering modification based on functional nucleic acid (DNA) has the advantages of simple synthesis, convenient modification, high programmability, and good biocompatibility, and has been widely used to endow cells with functions, such as aptamers, deoxyribonucleases, etc. , molecular beacons, etc. However, the monovalent form of conventional functional nucleic acids results in weaker affinity and is easily degraded by nucleases, resulting in poor bioavailability. Rolling circle amplification (RCA) is a method for the isothermal amplification of circular DNA molecules catalyzed by phi29 polymerase, and has been widely used in the synthesis of multivalent functional nucleic acids. We expect to perform RCA reactions on the cell membrane surface to engineer tumor cells, thereby endowing tumor vesicles with multivalent DC-SIGN targeting aptamers to improve DC targeting. However, performing RCA on the cell membrane surface has not been reported and is very challenging.

在申请的技术方案中,我们从全肿瘤细胞裂解物中制备了一种新型肿瘤疫苗(GMP-DCapt-TV),该疫苗可以靶向DCs(树突状细胞)并激活 DCs中的STING通路,用于癌症的个性化免疫治疗,并证明其能够引发强大的T细胞具有有效治疗效果的反应。通过与STING激动剂 C-di-GMP预孵育,肿瘤细胞免疫原性增加,随后衍生的肿瘤疫苗含装载由STING激活剂,可进一步激活DC中的STING信号通路。此外,我们又在肿瘤细胞表面使用RCA反应,将多价DC-SIGN靶向适体标记肿瘤疫苗,增强DCs的靶向性并提高抗原呈递效率。在体内,这种肿瘤疫苗可以触发了强大的抗原交叉呈递,并引发高水平的抗肿瘤T细胞反应,从而有效抑制已建立的B16-OVA肿瘤。此外,在B16-OVA黑色素瘤肺转移模型中,肿瘤GMP-DCapt-TV与抗PD-L1抗体的组合进一步显示出改善的抗肿瘤功效。通过增强免疫原性和DNA工程改造原发性肿瘤细胞, WTCL衍生的肿瘤疫苗的抗肿瘤免疫力显着增强,为肿瘤疫苗的开发提供了新的策略。In the technical proposal of the application, we prepared a novel tumor vaccine (GMP-DCapt-TV) from whole tumor cell lysates, which can target DCs (dendritic cells) and activate the STING pathway in DCs, Personalized immunotherapy for cancer and demonstrated ability to elicit powerful T-cell responses with potent therapeutic effects. By pre-incubation with the STING agonist C-di-GMP, the immunogenicity of tumor cells was increased, and subsequently derived tumor vaccines loaded with STING activators could further activate the STING signaling pathway in DCs. In addition, we used the RCA reaction on the surface of tumor cells to target multivalent DC-SIGN to aptamer-labeled tumor vaccines to enhance the targeting of DCs and improve the efficiency of antigen presentation. In vivo, this tumor vaccine triggered robust antigen cross-presentation and elicited high levels of antitumor T cell responses, thereby effectively suppressing established B16-OVA tumors. Furthermore, the combination of tumor GMP-DCapt-TV with anti-PD-L1 antibody further showed improved antitumor efficacy in the B16-OVA melanoma lung metastasis model. Through enhanced immunogenicity and DNA engineering of primary tumor cells, the anti-tumor immunity of WTCL-derived tumor vaccines was significantly enhanced, providing a new strategy for the development of tumor vaccines.

在第三步中,所述RCA反应缓冲液含有DNTP、phi29DNA polymerase 和反应缓冲液。In the third step, the RCA reaction buffer contains DNTP, phi29DNA polymerase and reaction buffer.

所述扩增是在30℃下反应4h。The amplification was carried out at 30°C for 4 hours.

在第四步中,所述离心是采用多步密度梯度超速离心。使用十二烷基硫酸钠聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳(SDS-PAGE)分离GMP-DCapt-TV和其他肿瘤疫苗制剂的总蛋白并鉴定蛋白质谱。结果表明,所有合成的肿瘤疫苗都很好地保留了与TV组相似的肿瘤膜蛋白,表明制备过程中膜蛋白的稳定性。此外,使用WB测定,鉴定出B16-OVA的代表性OVA抗原存在于通过WB测定检测到的所有肿瘤疫苗的表面上。与内源性肿瘤来源的外泌体不同,在所有肿瘤疫苗制剂中均未观察到可通过结合PD-1抑制T细胞增殖和细胞因子分泌的PDL1的明显表达,其原因是缺乏免疫抑制肿瘤微环境刺激B16-OVA上调PDL1。In the fourth step, the centrifugation is a multi-step density gradient ultracentrifugation. Total proteins of GMP-DCapt-TV and other tumor vaccine preparations were separated and protein profiles identified using sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The results showed that all the synthesized tumor vaccines well retained tumor membrane proteins similar to those of the TV group, indicating the stability of membrane proteins during preparation. Furthermore, using WB assay, a representative OVA antigen of B16-OVA was identified to be present on the surface of all tumor vaccines detected by WB assay. Unlike endogenous tumor-derived exosomes, no significant expression of PDL1, which can inhibit T cell proliferation and cytokine secretion by binding to PD-1, was observed in all tumor vaccine formulations due to the lack of immunosuppressive tumor microbiota. Environmental stimulus B16-OVA upregulates PDL1.

下面结合具体实验数据对本申请做进一步阐述:Below in conjunction with specific experimental data this application is further elaborated:

(1)GMP-Dapt-TV显示出对DC细胞的良好靶向性(1) GMP-Dapt-TV showed good targeting to DC cells

树突状细胞(DCs)是一种特殊的抗原呈递细胞,在先天性和适应性免疫反应的激活和调节中起关键作用。因此,调节DC功能以改善癌症免疫治疗非常重要,其中一种策略是提高疫苗对DCs细胞的靶向性。基于所描述的特征,我们接下来评估了由多价适体介导的肿瘤疫苗的对DCs靶向能力,多价适体与DC特异性细胞间粘附分子(ICAM)-3非整合素(DC-SIGN) 具有高结合效率。将未成熟的骨髓来源树突状细胞(BMDCs)与DiO标记的GMP-DCapt-TV和GMP-TV共培养4小时,并用LysoTracker Red 对内/溶酶体进行染色。共聚焦激光扫描显微镜成像表明,与GMP-TV组相比,GMP-DCapt-TV组显示出更强的DiO荧光,表明GMP-DCapt-TV 可以选择性地靶向BMDC。在流式细胞仪结果中观察到一致的结果。与 DC完全接触是体内成功抗原呈递的先决条件,这需要GMP-DCapt-TV有效靶向LN。我们用近红外光膜染料(DiR)标记了GMP-DCapt-TV和 GMP-TV,并量化了C57BL/6小鼠尾基皮下(s.c.)注射后的生物分布。体内近红外荧光成像结果表明,GMP-Dapt-TV在4小时内有效积累在外周淋巴结中,即使在48小时仍可观察到,而GMP-TV组未显示出显着的荧光信号在外周淋巴结。随后,在注射后48小时处死小鼠,取腹股沟和腋窝淋巴结进行离体成像。与体内成像结果一致,离体LNs的荧光成像显示,与GMP-TV相比,GMP-DCapt-TV的LNs积累约为3倍。然后,进一步对淋巴结进行切片和染色以进行共聚焦成像。与GMP-TV相比,观察到DiR标记的GMP-DCapt-TV的较高淋巴结保留)。得益于其纳米级尺寸、良好的稳定性,尤其是多价适体,GMP-DCapt-TV可以更有效地靶向 LN并实现与DC的更好接触,从而促进体内免疫刺激。具体见图2,图2 为GMP-DCapt-TV的体内外靶向DC细胞和淋巴结,其中图2(a)用dio标记的GMP-TV和GMP-DCapt-TV(绿色)处理BMDC细胞2小时后的共聚焦荧光图像。用Hoechst(蓝色)染色细胞核,用Lysotracker(红色)染色溶酶体。比例尺=25μm。图2(b)a面板DiO荧光定量测定。图2(c-d)流式细胞术测量DiO标记的GMP-TV和GMP-DCapt-TV孵育2h后CD11c+BMDCs的荧光强度和统计数据。Dendritic cells (DCs) are specialized antigen-presenting cells that play key roles in the activation and regulation of innate and adaptive immune responses. Therefore, it is very important to modulate DC function to improve cancer immunotherapy, and one of the strategies is to improve the targeting of vaccines to DCs. Based on the described features, we next evaluated the DCs-targeting ability of tumor vaccines mediated by multivalent aptamers that interact with DC-specific intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-3 non-integrin ( DC-SIGN) with high binding efficiency. Immature bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) were co-cultured with DiO-labeled GMP-DCapt-TV and GMP-TV for 4 hours, and endo/lysosomes were stained with LysoTracker Red. Confocal laser scanning microscopy imaging showed that the GMP-DCapt-TV group showed stronger DiO fluorescence compared with the GMP-TV group, indicating that GMP-DCapt-TV could selectively target BMDCs. Consistent results were observed in flow cytometry results. Complete contact with DCs is a prerequisite for successful antigen presentation in vivo, which requires efficient targeting of GMP-DCapt-TV to LNs. We labeled GMP-DCapt-TV and GMP-TV with a near-infrared optical film dye (DiR) and quantified the biodistribution after subcutaneous (s.c.) injection at the tail base of C57BL/6 mice. In vivo near-infrared fluorescence imaging results showed that GMP-Dapt-TV efficiently accumulated in peripheral lymph nodes within 4 hours and could still be observed even at 48 hours, while the GMP-TV group did not show significant fluorescence signals in peripheral lymph nodes. Subsequently, mice were sacrificed 48 hours after injection, and inguinal and axillary lymph nodes were harvested for ex vivo imaging. Consistent with the in vivo imaging results, fluorescence imaging of ex vivo LNs revealed ~3-fold accumulation of LNs in GMP-DCapt-TV compared with GMP-TV. Then, the lymph nodes were further sectioned and stained for confocal imaging. Higher lymph node retention was observed for DiR-labeled GMP-DCapt-TV compared to GMP-TV). Thanks to its nanoscale size, good stability, and especially the multivalent aptamer, GMP-DCapt-TV can more effectively target LNs and achieve better contacts with DCs, thereby promoting immune stimulation in vivo. See Figure 2 for details, Figure 2 shows the targeting of DC cells and lymph nodes in vivo and in vitro by GMP-DCapt-TV, in which Figure 2(a) treats BMDC cells with dio-labeled GMP-TV and GMP-DCapt-TV (green) for 2 hours Post confocal fluorescence images. Nuclei were stained with Hoechst (blue) and lysosomes with Lysotracker (red). Scale bar = 25 μm. Figure 2(b) panel a DiO fluorescence quantification assay. Figure 2(c-d) Fluorescence intensity and statistical data of CD11c+BMDCs measured by flow cytometry after DiO-labeled GMP-TV and GMP-DCapt-TV were incubated for 2 h.

(2)GMP-Dapt-TV激活DCs(2) GMP-Dapt-TV activates DCs

为了评估GMP-DCapt-TV中的c-di-GMP负载是否可以激活APC 中的STING途径和I型IFN产生,我们将BMDC与不同的肿瘤疫苗制剂孵育24小时。Western印迹分析显示加载c-di-GMP的 GMP-DCapt-TV和GMP-TV组比组具有更高水平的STING和磷酸化的 TBK1,表明STING途径的激活。通过实时聚合酶链式反应(RT-PCR)检测BMDCs中STING相关基因的信使RNA(mRNA)转录水平来测量 GMP-DCapt-TV的STING激活谱。与GMP-TV相比,GMP-DCapt-TV诱导IFN-β和CXCL10的表达急剧增加,而其他组未观察到增加。与 PCR结果一致,酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA)测量显示用GMP-DCapt-TV 处理的BDMC的培养基中IFN-β显着增加。To assess whether c-di-GMP loading in GMP-DCapt-TV could activate the STING pathway and type I IFN production in APCs, we incubated BMDCs with different tumor vaccine formulations for 24 h. Western blot analysis showed that the c-di-GMP-loaded GMP-DCapt-TV and GMP-TV groups had higher levels of STING and phosphorylated TBK1 than the GMP-TV group, indicating activation of the STING pathway. The STING activation profile of GMP-DCapt-TV was measured by detecting the messenger RNA (mRNA) transcript levels of STING-related genes in BMDCs by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Compared with GMP-TV, GMP-DCapt-TV induced a sharp increase in the expression of IFN-β and CXCL10, while no increase was observed in other groups. Consistent with the PCR results, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) measurements showed a significant increase in IFN-β in the culture medium of BDMCs treated with GMP-DCapt-TV.

DCs的成熟对于抗原呈递和随后的免疫反应的启动是必不可少的。通过使用流式细胞术检测CD80和CD86的上调来评估BMDCs的成熟水平。与其他肿瘤疫苗相比,用GMP-DCapt-TV处理的BMDCs中共刺激因子标志物CD80和CD86的表达上调最多,表明肿瘤疫苗可以激活DCs,而DCapt和c-di-GMP有贡献到更高的DC激活。然后通过检测 OVA(SIINFEKL)-H2Kb+复合物在DC膜表面的频率来评估BMDCs的抗原呈递功效。与其他组相比,GMP-Dapt-TV治疗诱导了更高比例的 OVA-H2Kb阳性DC,这是由于疫苗促进了OVA胞质溶胶释放用于抗原加工和呈递OVA/主要组织相容性复合物I(MHC I)。Maturation of DCs is essential for antigen presentation and subsequent initiation of immune responses. The maturation level of BMDCs was assessed by detecting the upregulation of CD80 and CD86 using flow cytometry. Compared with other tumor vaccines, BMDCs treated with GMP-DCapt-TV showed the most up-regulated expression of co-stimulatory factor markers CD80 and CD86, indicating that tumor vaccines can activate DCs, while DCapt and c-di-GMP contributed to higher DC activates. The antigen presentation efficacy of BMDCs was then assessed by detecting the frequency of OVA(SIINFEKL)-H2Kb+ complexes on the DC membrane surface. GMP-Dapt-TV treatment induced a higher proportion of OVA-H2Kb-positive DCs compared to the other groups due to the vaccine-promoted OVA cytosolic release for antigen processing and OVA/major histocompatibility complex presentation I (MHC I).

具体见图3所示,图3为具有代表性的流式细胞术数据和统计数据图,其中图3(a)和图3(b)分别为具有代表性的流式细胞术数据和统计数据,以显示不同肿瘤疫苗诱导的BMDCs成熟情况。图3(c)体外启动未激活的 OVA-CD8+T细胞。不同肿瘤疫苗处理的BMDCs与cfse标记的OVA-TCR 转基因CD8+T细胞共孵育。See Figure 3 for details, Figure 3 is a representative flow cytometry data and statistical data graph, wherein Figure 3(a) and Figure 3(b) are representative flow cytometry data and statistical data respectively , to show the maturation of BMDCs induced by different tumor vaccines.

(3)GMP-Dapt-TV在体内抑制肿瘤生长(3) GMP-Dapt-TV inhibits tumor growth in vivo

使用B16-OVA黑色素瘤模型评估了GMP-DCapt-TV肿瘤疫苗的治疗效果,该模型通过在每只小鼠的右侧皮下注射2×105 B16-OVA肿瘤细胞建立。肿瘤体积达到50mm3后,给荷瘤小鼠注射各种肿瘤疫苗制剂(TV、 DCapt-TV、GMP-TV和GMP-DCapt-TV),每周1次,共3次,监测肿瘤体积每2天。细胞膜的数量取决于BCA测量的蛋白质数量。与注射PBS 的对照组和仅TV组相比,接种DC-TV、GMP-TV和GMP-DCapt-TV的小鼠的肿瘤进展受到轻微抑制。值得注意的是,GMP-DCapt-TV治疗组表现出最好的治疗效果,小鼠存活率显着延长。此外,所有肿瘤疫苗治疗对小鼠体重和苏木精-伊红(H&E)染色检测的主要器官均无显着影响,表明肿瘤疫苗具有良好的生物安全性。在抗肿瘤研究结束时,肿瘤切片的末端脱氧核苷酸转移酶dUTP末端标记(TUNEL)染色进一步揭示了 GMP-DCapt-TV组中肿瘤细胞的显着凋亡和坏死,这一机制可能有助于肿瘤随肿瘤消退。疫苗。然后测量治疗诱导的T淋巴细胞瘤内浸润。TV组 CD8+T细胞(CD3+CD8+)和CD4+T细胞(CD3+CD4+)的频率分别为 19.6%和44.9%。相比之下,接种GMP-DCapt-TV分别导致CD8+T细胞增加1.8倍和CD4+T细胞减少2.4倍。同样,GMP-DCapt-TV组CD8+ IFN-γ+TNF-α+效应T细胞的频率增加,比TV组高1.9倍,表明激活了抗肿瘤免疫回应。肿瘤内调节性T细胞(Treg)的浸润抑制CTL的抗肿瘤活性并诱导免疫抑制性肿瘤微环境(ITM)。GMP-DCapt-TV治疗后肿瘤内Treg(CD3+CD4+Foxp3+)的频率降低。图4为GMP-DCapt-TV对 B16-OVA黑色素瘤的预防作用示意图,其中,图4(a)为B16-OVA肿瘤预防免疫方案。图4(b)为GMP-DCapt-TV对B16-OVA肿瘤的预防作用。图 4(c)为免疫后小鼠在b16-ova小鼠模型中的存活时间。图4(d)为b组单个肿瘤生长曲线。The therapeutic effect of the GMP-DCapt-TV tumor vaccine was evaluated using a B16-OVA melanoma model established by subcutaneously injecting 2×105 B16-OVA tumor cells on the right side of each mouse. After the tumor volume reached 50 mm, the tumor - bearing mice were injected with various tumor vaccine preparations (TV, DCapt-TV, GMP-TV, and GMP-DCapt-TV) once a week for a total of 3 times, and the tumor volume was monitored every 2 sky. The amount of cell membrane depends on the amount of protein measured by BCA. Tumor progression was slightly inhibited in mice vaccinated with DC-TV, GMP-TV, and GMP-DCapt-TV compared to PBS-injected control and TV-only groups. It is worth noting that the GMP-DCapt-TV treatment group showed the best therapeutic effect, and the survival rate of mice was significantly prolonged. In addition, all tumor vaccine treatments had no significant effect on mouse body weight and major organs detected by hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) staining, indicating that the tumor vaccines had good biological safety. At the end of the antitumor study, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP end-labeling (TUNEL) staining of tumor sections further revealed significant apoptosis and necrosis of tumor cells in the GMP-DCapt-TV group, a mechanism that may contribute to As the tumor regresses. vaccine. Treatment-induced intratumoral infiltration of T lymphocytes was then measured. The frequencies of CD8+T cells (CD3+CD8+) and CD4+T cells (CD3+CD4+) in TV group were 19.6% and 44.9%, respectively. In contrast, vaccination with GMP-DCapt-TV resulted in a 1.8-fold increase in CD8+ T cells and a 2.4-fold decrease in CD4+ T cells, respectively. Likewise, the frequency of CD8+IFN-γ+TNF-α+ effector T cells was increased in the GMP-DCapt-TV group, which was 1.9-fold higher than that in the TV group, indicating the activation of the antitumor immune response. Infiltration of regulatory T cells (Treg) within tumors suppresses the antitumor activity of CTLs and induces an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (ITM). The frequency of intratumoral Treg (CD3+CD4+Foxp3+) decreased after GMP-DCapt-TV treatment.

Figure 4(b) shows the preventive effect of GMP-DCapt-TV on B16-OVA tumors. Figure 4(c) shows the survival time of mice in b16-ova mouse model after immunization. Figure 4(d) is the growth curve of a single tumor in group b.
