本発明によれば、キメラ抗原受容体(CAR)を発現する細胞は、疾患を治療及び/又は予防するために使用することができ、典型的には、細胞製剤及び医薬組成物が提供され得る。ここで、「治療」とは、標的疾患に特徴的な症状又は随伴症状を緩和すること(軽症化)、症状の悪化を阻止ないし遅延することなどが含まれ、治療の中には疾患の改善も含まれる。「予防」とは、疾病(障害)又はその症状の発症/発現を防止若しくは遅延すること、又は発症/発現の危険性を低下させることをいう。一態様において、本発明の細胞製剤は、CARを発現する本発明の細胞を活性成分として含み、さらに、適切な賦形剤などを含んでもよい。別の態様において、本発明の医薬組成物は、有効量の本発明の核酸、CAR、ベクター、及び/又は細胞を活性成分として含み、さらに、適切な医薬として許容される賦形剤などを含んでもよい。該細胞製剤及び医薬組成物に含まれる賦形剤には、種々の細胞培養培地、リン酸緩衝生理食塩水、等張食塩水などが挙げられる。CARを発現する細胞等によって治療対象となり得る疾患としては、GPC-1を特異的に発現している固形腫瘍が挙げられ、より具体的には、膵癌、乳癌、脳腫瘍及び各種扁平上皮癌がんである。扁平上皮癌としては、限定されないが、食道癌、肺癌、子宮頸癌が含まれる。該疾患を有する治療対象は、限定されないが、霊長類、ヒト、イヌ、ネコ、ウシ、ウマ、ブタ、ヒツジなどの哺乳動物が意図され、好ましくはヒトである。上記疾患の治療においては、本発明の治療有効量の細胞製剤が患者に投与される。本明細書で使用するとき、「有効量」とは、治療的又は予防的な利点を提供する量を意味する。なお、投与経路としては、当業者が認識するように、限定されないが、非経口投与、例えば、注射又は注入により、皮内、筋肉内、皮下、腹腔内、鼻腔内、動脈内、静脈内、腫瘍内、又は輸入リンパ管内などに投与することが挙げられる。
抗GPC-1抗体の重鎖可変領域(VH)及び軽鎖可変領域をコードする塩基配列は、出願人の一人である医薬基盤・健康・栄養研究所でニワトリを用いて作製されたモノクローナル抗GPC-1抗体(WO2015/098112)の重鎖及び軽鎖部分の塩基配列情報より特定した。Kozak配列-LS(leader sequence)-VL-linker-VH配列(TypeA)又は、-LS-VH-linker-VL配列(TypeB)の二本鎖DNAを合成し、CAR発現用ベクター(pMS3-F)にクローニングした(図1)。この組換えレトロウイルスベクターを、pGPベクター、pE-Ecoベクターと共にG3T-hi細胞にトランスフェクションし、感染用レトロウイルスベクター溶液を調製した。この溶液をPG13細胞(GaLV env.)に感染させ、プロデューサー細胞を作製した。この細胞より、抗GPC-1-CAR遺伝子搭載レトロウイルスベクター溶液(TypeAとTypeBの2種類)を調製した。
ヒトより採血し、末梢血単核球(PBMC)を、Lymphoprep(Axis-Shield社 # 1114544)を用いて分離した。分離したPBMCを、AIM-V(Life Technologies #087-0112DK)+10%ヒトAB血清(Gemini #100-512)に、2×106/2ml/wellの細胞濃度で調製した。ヒトrIL2(500IU/ml)と抗ヒトCD3抗体(OKT-3)(50ng/ml)を添加し、24-wellプレートに播種し、37℃、5%CO2で2日間培養した。翌日、別のノートリートメント24wellプレート(BD #351147)にレトロネクチン(タカラバイオ #T100B)(1mg/ml)10μL+PBS400uL/wellを入れ、4℃にて一晩静置した。その翌日、このレトロネクチンをコートしたプレートを、PBS 1mlで洗浄後、3%BSA/PBSを500uL/wellで展開し、室温にて30分静置後、PBS 1mlで洗浄した。実施例1で調製した抗GPC-1-CAR遺伝子を担持したレトロウイルスベクター溶液(Type A又はType B)を2~5倍に希釈し、レトロネクチンをコートしたプレートに、1ml/wellで添加した。このプレートを3044rpm、32℃、2時間遠心し、ウイルスをプレート底面のレトロネクチンに吸着させた。遠心後、ウイルス溶液を除き、先の2日間培養したPBMCを5×105/500μL(AIM-V+10%ヒトAB血清)/wellで添加し、ヒトrIL2(500IU/ml)を加えた。2153rpmで10分遠心後、37℃、5%CO2で培養を開始した。翌日、AIM-V+10%ヒトAB血清1.5mlとヒトrIL2(500IU/ml)を添加した。以後、細胞がコンフルエントになるたびに、培養するwellの数を倍量に増やした。
GPC-1-CAR遺伝子を担持したレトロウイルスベクター(TypeA又はTypeB)をヒト活性化末梢血単核球に感染後、抗ヒトCD8抗体、抗ヒトCD4抗体、抗ニワトリIgY抗体を用いて染色し、GPC-1-CARの発現を確認した(図2)。次に、セルソーターを用いてCD8陽性抗GPC-1-CAR-T細胞及びCD4陽性抗GPC-1-CAR-T細胞をそれぞれ分離した。これらのT細胞(1~2×105cell)とGPC-1強制発現細胞株(LK-GPC1(G11))又はGPC-1非発現細胞株(LK-MOCK)(1×105cell)を200μlのAIM-V+10%ヒトAB血清に懸濁し、96wellプレートに播種した。24時間後、培養上清を回収し、ELISA法でIFN-γ、TNF-α、IL-4、IL-5の濃度を測定した。遺伝子改変されたT細胞からのIFN-γ、TNF-α、IL-4、及びIL-5の産生は、GPC-1特異的であり、高発現であった(図3及び図4参照)。
ターゲット細胞として、GPC-1強制発現細胞株(LK-GPC1(G11))又はGPC-1非発現細胞株(LK-MOCK)をCalcein-AMで標識した後、5×103cellを96wellプレートに播種した。そこに、40倍、20倍、10倍、5倍、2.5倍量のCD8陽性抗GPC-1-CAR-T細胞又はCD4陽性抗GPC-1-CAR-T細胞をエフェクター細胞として加え、4時間培養後、上清中のCalcein-AMを蛍光光度計で測定し、T細胞によって傷害された細胞の割合を計算した。Mockと比較して、抗GPC-1-CAR-T細胞は、GPC-1特異的に細胞を非常に高い割合で溶解した(図5)。
実施例3及び4に記載の試験方法を用いて、GPC-1を発現する食道癌細胞株(「TE8」及び「TE14」)に対する抗GPC-1-CAR-T細胞の認識及び殺傷効果について検討した。食道癌細胞株以外の試験例として、GPC-1強制発現細胞株(「LK2-GPC1(G11)」及び「LK2-GPC1(G52)」)、GPC-1非発現細胞株(「LK-MOCK(E4)」、及び抗GPC-1-CAR-T細胞の添加なしの系(「no stimulator」)を用いた。図6Aに示されるように、GPC-1を発現する細胞(「TE8」、「TE14」、「LK2-GPC1(G11)」、及び「LK-GPC1(G52)」)に対しては、抗GPC-1-CAR-T細胞はIFN-γを産生させた。一方、陰性対照として使用した「LK2-MOCK(E4)」及び「no stimulator」では、抗GPC-1-CAR-T細胞によるIFN-γ産生は見られなかった。また、抗GPC-1-CAR-T細胞ではなく、対照T細胞(「control T cells」)及びT細胞による刺激なし「no T cells」では、いずれもIFN-γ産生は見られなかった。このことから、抗GPC-1-CAR-T細胞によるIFN-γ産生誘導は、GPC-1特異的であることが分かる。
ヒト食道癌細胞株TE14(3×106個)をNOG(NOD.Cg-Prkdcscid Il2rgtm1Sug/Jic)マウス(各群)に皮下移植した。9日後(TE14の生着を確認している)に、抗GPC-1-CAR-T細胞又はCAR遺伝子を導入していない活性化T細胞(陰性対照群)をそれぞれ2.5×107個腹腔内投与した。経時的に、各マウスにおける腫瘍体積(mm3)を長径×短径×短径/2で計算して求め、結果を図7に示す。陰性対照群は、CAR遺伝子を導入していない活性化T細胞が投与された系であり、経時的に腫瘍体積が増加している(図7A)。一方、抗GPC-1-CAR-T細胞を投与した系に関して、「aGPC-1-CAR-T 1」及び「aGPC-1-CAR-T 2は、それぞれ、図2に記載の「GPC-1-CAR L-H」及び「GPC-1-CAR H-L」に相当し、これらの細胞を用いた場合、腫瘍体積の増加が抑制されていることが分かる(それぞれ、図7A及び7B)。図7Dは、それぞれの群における腫瘍体積の変化を平均±標準偏差として表したものである。抗GPC-1-CAR-T細胞を添加したいずれの系の場合にも、陰性対照群と比較して、腫瘍体積の増加が顕著に抑制されていることが分かる。
本発明のGPC-1 CAR遺伝子は、ヒトとマウスのGPC-1を認識することができるため、以下では、マウスの細胞を用いて治療実験を行った。マウス大腸癌細胞株MC38にレンチウイルスベクターを用いてマウスGPC-1を遺伝子導入し、強制発現株を作製した(MC38-GPC-1)。図1に示すプラスミドを用いて、GPC-1-CAR遺伝子のエコトロピックレトロウイルスベクターを作製し、マウスGPC-1-CAR-T細胞を作製した。具体的には、まず、マウス脾臓細胞(2×106個)をConA(2μg/ml)、マウスIL-7(1ng/ml)、ヒトIL-2(500IU/ml)を含む完全RPMI1640培地(基礎培地RPMI1640に最終濃度10%FCS、10mM HEPES、1mMピルビン酸ナトリウム、1%MEM NEAA(Non-essential amino acids)(Gibco社、#11140-050)、2mM L-グルタミン、0.05mM 2-メルカプトエタノールを添加した)で24時間培養し、活性化マウスT細胞を作製した。次に、前述のレトロウイルスを用いて、この活性化マウスT細胞にGPC-1-CAR遺伝子(図2の「GPC-1-CAR L-H」)を導入し、GPC-1-CAR-T細胞を作製した。導入方法は、実施例2に記載した手順による。ただし、レトロネクチンコートプレートの1ウェルに入れる活性化マウスT細胞数を2×106個とした。感染後、ヒトIL-2(500IU/mL)、抗マウスCD3抗体(1μg/mL)、抗マウスCD28抗体(1μg/mL)を含む完全RPMI1640培地で培養し、翌日同様の手順でもう一回行った。その後、作製したCAR-T細胞はヒトIL-2(500IU/mL)を含む完全RPMI1640培地で培養し、細胞がコンフルエントになるたびに、ウェルを倍々に増やしながら、5~7日間培養した。なお、GPC-1-CAR遺伝子の導入効率は20%程度であった。次に、C57BL/6マウスに5×105個のMC38-GPC-1を皮下移植し、3日後(生着を確認している。)に、放射線を5Gy照射した。その後、前述の作製したGPC-1-CAR-T細胞(2×107個)を腹腔内投与した。同日より、1日2回、連続3日間、IL2を腹腔内投与した(50000IU/マウス/回)。陰性対照群には、CAR遺伝子を導入していない活性化T細胞が投与された。各マウスにおける腫瘍体積(mm3)を長径×短径×短径/2で計算して求めた。各群における腫瘍体積の変化を経時的に記録した結果を図8に示す。図8A及び8Bは、それぞれ、陰性対照群及びGPC-1-CAR-T細胞投与群のマウス個体ごとの腫瘍体積の変化を示し、図8Cは、それぞれの群における腫瘍体積の変化を平均±標準偏差として表したものである。図8Cの結果から明らかなように、対照群と比較して、GPC-1-CAR-T細胞を投与されたマウスでは、腫瘍体積の増加が顕著に抑制されていることが分かる。また、正常マウスには、副作用などの影響が全くなく、癌モデル動物でのみ抗腫瘍効果が観察された。なお、上記のモデルは、免疫系が正常に機能しているインビボのモデルであるため、ヒトの臨床場面を再現していると言える。このような実験系は、他のCRT-T細胞では構築することはできない。
