誘導された細胞よりゲノムDNAを取得し、MethylEasy Xceed Rapid DNA Bisulphite Modification Kit (Human Genetic Signatures)を用いて処理後、制御性T細胞に特徴的な遺伝子の脱メチル化について、調べた。各遺伝子の脱メチル化の解析は、既知の方法およびプライマーを用いた(Floess et al.(2007) PloS Biology Volume 5, Issue 2, e38、およびOhkura et al.(2012) Immunity 37(5) 785-799)。
ヒトCD4 +T細胞を健常人のPBMCより単離した。濃縮したPBMCから、CliniMACS CD4 GMP MicroBeadsを用いて製品プロトコルに従い精製した。
CD4陽性T細胞を、抗CD3抗体(10μg/ml濃度の抗体をウェル当たり100μL添加し、室温で60分間静置することで容器へ固相化)、hIL-2(100U/ml)、hTGFβ1(10ng/ml)、レチノイン酸(1μM)、SenexinA(5μM)を含む基礎培地で3日間刺激した。その後hIL-2(100U/ml)を含む基礎培地で2日間休眠培養した。2日後に同様に培地交換し、さらに2日間休眠培養した。2日後に再度抗CD3抗体(10μg/ml濃度の抗体をウェル当たり100μL添加し、室温で60分間静置することで容器へ固相化)、hIL-2(100U/ml)、h TGFβ1(10ng/ml)、レチノイン酸(1μM)、SenexinA(5μM)、アスコルビン酸(10μg/ml)を含む基礎培地で2日間刺激した。その後hIL-2(100U/ml)を含む基礎培地で2日間休眠培養した。2日後に同様に培地交換し、さらに2日間休眠培養した。2日後に得られた制御性T細胞のFoxP3、CTLA4、Heliosの発現をフローサイトメトリー法により解析した(図1)。
実施例1と同じ実験系により制御性T細胞を得た。Cell Trace Violet標識したレスポンダーT細胞(5x104)、作製した制御性T細胞(5x104)を、Treg Suppression Inspector(Miltenyi Biotec)(5μL/well)存在下で3日間混合培養し、Cell Trace Violet強度をフローサイトメトリー法で解析した。レスポンダーT細胞が免疫反応を起こすと細胞増殖のためにCell Trace Violet強度は複数の弱いピークを示すが、この免疫反応が抑制されるとCell Trace Violet強度は単独の強いピークのまま保持される。本開示の作成法で得られた制御性T細胞は、レスポンダーT細胞の免疫反応を強く抑制することが確認された。したがって、得られた制御性T細胞は既存の制御性T細胞集団に比べて高い抑制機能を持つことが確認された(図3)。
実施例1の方法で作製した制御性T細胞の遺伝子発現パターンをRNAシーケンス法により確認した(図4)。RNAシーケンスは既知の方法を用いて行った(Kitagawa et al.(2017) Nat. Immunol. 18, 173-183)。FOXP3、IL-2RA(CD25)、およびTregの主要な抑制性分子(CTLA4など)の遺伝子は、既存の誘導性制御性T細胞および活性化Tconv細胞に比較して、本開示の作製法で得られた誘導性制御性T細胞およびnTreg細胞で高い発現が確認できた。また、誘導性制御性T細胞ではnTreg細胞のマーカーであるIKZF2の発現が低いことを確認した。本開示の作製法で得られた誘導性制御性T細胞は他の制御性T細胞集団と比較して、ENTPD1、NT5E、AREGなどいくつかの抑制性分子発現が高いことが確認できる。また、ITGAEなどの接着分子、CCR4などのケモカイン受容体発現が高いことが確認できる(図4)。
CD8陽性T細胞を、抗CD3抗体(10μg/ml濃度の抗体をウェル当たり100μL添加し、室温で60分間静置することで容器へ固相化)、hIL-2(100U/ml)、hTGFβ1(10ng/ml)、レチノイン酸(1μM)、SenexinA(5μM)を含む基礎培地で3日間刺激した。その後hIL-2(100U/ml)を含む基礎培地で2日間休眠培養した。2日後に同様に培地交換し、さらに2日間休眠培養した。2日後に再度抗CD3抗体(10μg/ml濃度の抗体をウェル当たり100μL添加し、室温で60分間静置することで容器へ固相化)、hIL-2(100U/ml)、hTGFβ1(10ng/ml)、レチノイン酸(1μM)、SenexinA(5μM)、アスコルビン酸(10μg/ml)を含む基礎培地で2日間刺激した。その後hIL-2(100U/ml)を含む基礎培地で2日間休眠培養した。2日後に同様に培地交換し、さらに2日間休眠培養した。2日後に得られた制御性T細胞のFoxP3、CTLA4、Heliosの発現をフローサイトメトリー法により解析した(図6)。
ヒト末梢T細胞を用いて、実施例1と同じようにして誘導性制御性T細胞またはその細胞集団を得る。この誘導性制御性T細胞またはその細胞集団と担体とを含む医薬を製造する。この医薬は誘導性制御性T細胞またはその細胞集団として約2x105個の細胞を含み、炎症疾患患者に投与してから1ヶ月後に回収した組織における炎症の程度から、有効性を確認することができる。
実施例1と同じようにして誘導性制御性T細胞またはその細胞集団を得る。この誘導性制御性T細胞またはその細胞集団を担体とを含む医薬を製造する。
実施例1で製造した誘導性制御性T細胞の細胞集団について、CD25とFOXP3の発現強度をBD FACSLyric フローサイトメーターを用いたフローサイトメトリー法により解析した。結果を図7に示す。
試験したすべての細胞において、FOXP3Hiの誘導性制御性T細胞の細胞集団が高い割合で存在していることが確認できた。
実施例1で製造した誘導性制御性T細胞における細胞表面マーカーを網羅的に解析するため、抗体パネル解析を行った。BioLegendのLEGENDScreen Human PE Kitを用いて、実施例1で製造した誘導性制御性T細胞を染色し、本開示の誘導性制御性T細胞に反応する抗体をフローサイトメトリー法により解析した。結果の一部(明確かつ有意義な発現を確認できたもの)を表1~4に示す。
400種類弱を含む抗体パネルによって染色したところ、少なくとも185種類の表面マーカー分子によって本開示の誘導性制御性T細胞における細胞表面マーカーの陽性/陰性の特徴を確認することができた。
実施例8で実施した抗体スクリーニングの結果のうち特徴的なものを図8に示す。
本開示の誘導性制御性T細胞では、CD172g及びCD26など特有の細胞表面マーカーが陽性となっていることがわかった。
