Patent Application
20230226111
The present application relates to the field of biomedicine, and in particular, relates to a seed cell medium for tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and an application thereof.
In 1998, the Surgery Branch of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) in the United States reported the first case of treating a patient with tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL-). Extensive studies on TIL- have shown that cells with anti-tumor activity can be isolated from tumor tissues of patients with melanoma. In recent years, it has been found that TIL- has a very significant therapeutic effect for tumors, in particular solid tumors, that are large-volume and incurable with respect to adoptive transfer therapy (ACT).
When TIL- is used in tumor immunotherapy, a large amount of cells are required, which presents a great challenge in terms of technology and process control for the expansion of TIL- cells. The common practice in the past included a pre-rapid expansion procedure (pre-REP) based on IL-2, followed by a “rapid expansion procedure” (REP). This procedure requires a large amount of excessive irradiated allogeneic PBMCs (also called mononuclear cells, MNC) from multiple donors as feeder cells, as well as an anti-CD3 antibody (OKT3) and high-dose IL-2. The irradiated allogeneic PBMCs from multiple donor sources have a potential risk of contamination, and the IL-2 at a high concentration may have a risk of cell exhaustion in the subsequent infusion.
Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a medium that facilitates the quick acquisition of seed cells of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes.
The present application provides a seed cell medium for tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and an application thereof. The seed cell medium of the present application and the preparation method therefor have at least one beneficial effect selected from the group consisting of: 1) significantly reducing the dose of IL-2; 2) reducing or even eliminating the need to use IL-2 in subsequent infusion; 3) reducing the risk of cell exhaustion caused by the high-concentration IL-2 in the subsequent infusion; 4) eliminating the need of using exogenous allogeneic PBMCs or other cells as feeder cells in the subsequent REP, and reducing exogenous contamination; 5) promoting the subsequent REP to reach the yield of 1010-1011 cells; and 6) significantly increasing the efficiency of obtaining seed cells and even that of expanding the tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes as well as shortening the culture time.

The characteristics and advantages of the present invention involved in the present application can be better understood by referring to the exemplary embodiments and the accompanying drawings described in detail below. A brief description of the drawings is as follows:
The embodiments of the invention of the present application will be illustrated by specific examples below. Those familiar with this technology can easily understand other advantages and effects of the invention of the present application from the content disclosed in the specification.
In the present application, the term “interferon” generally refers to a family of proteins which inhibit virus replication and cell proliferation, regulate immune responses, and have high species specificity. Typical suitable interferons comprise but are not limited to: a recombinant interferon α-2b, a recombinant interferon α-2a, a recombinant interferon α-2C, an interferon α-n1, a consensus a interferon, or an interferon α-n3.
In the present application, the term “colony stimulating factor” generally refers to a type of secretory glycoproteins, which bind to receptor proteins on the surface of hematopoietic stem cells to activate intracellular signaling pathways, which can lead to cell proliferation and cell differentiation into a specific type of blood cells (usually white blood cells, and for red blood cell formation, see erythropoietin). They can be artificially synthesized and exogenously applied.
In the present application, the term “antigen-binding fragment” generally refers to a portion of an antibody molecule that contains amino acids responsible for the specific binding between an antibody and an antigen. The portion of the antigen that is specifically recognized and bound by the antibody is called the “epitope” as described above. As described above, an antigen-binding domain may typically comprise an antibody light-chain variable region (VL) and an antibody heavy-chain variable region (VH); however, it is unnecessary to comprise both. A Fd fragment has, for example, two VH regions and generally retains some of the antigen binding functions of the complete antigen-binding domain. Examples of antigen-binding fragments of antibodies comprise: (1) Fab fragments, which are monovalent fragments having VL, VH, constant light chains (CL) and CH1 domains; (2) F(ab′)2 fragments, which are bivalent fragments in which two Fab fragments are linked by a disulfide bridge in a hinge region; (3) Fd fragments having two VH and CH1 domains; (4) Fv fragments having VL and VH domains of single antibody arms, (5) dAb fragments (Ward et al., “Binding Activities of a Repertoire of Single Immunoglobulin Variable Domains Secreted From Escherichia coli,” Nature, 341:544-546(1989), which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety) having VH domains; (6) isolated complementarity determining regions (CDRs), and (7) single-chain Fvs (scFvs), which are, for example, derived from a scFV-library. Although the two domains VL and VH of the Fv fragments are encoded by independent genes, they can be joined using a recombination method by synthetic linkers, which allow them to be prepared as single proteins in which the VL and VH regions are paired to form monovalent molecules (called single-chain Fvs (scFvs)) (see, for example, Huston et al., “Protein Engineering of Antibody Binding Sites: Recovery of Specific Activity in an Anti-Digoxin Single-Chain Fv Analogue Produced in Escherichia coli,” Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 85:5879-5883(1988)). These antibody fragments are obtained using conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art, and their functions are evaluated in the same way as that for the complete antibodies. In the present application, the term “antigen-binding fragment” further comprises ligands that specifically bind to antigens, in particular cell surface receptor molecular antigens. The ligands are generally polypeptides or compounds that can bind to receptor proteins (for example, the antigens) with high affinity and specificity to induce a functional response. For example, the ligands may comprise CD40L as a ligand of CD40, CD137L as a ligand of CD137, CD80 as a ligand of CD28, and/or OX-40L as a ligand of OX-40.
In the present application, the term “immune checkpoint” generally refers to a group of molecules on the cell surfaces of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. These molecules can effectively act as a “brake” to down-regulate or suppress the anti-tumor immune response. These suppressive molecules can be suppressed by suppressing DNAs, RNAs or protein levels.
In the present application, the term “co-stimulatory receptor” generally refers to a class of receptors, which are expressed on the surface of immune cells, such as T cells and on which the activation of immune responses are dependent. On the premise that an antigen-presenting cell exists and a first signal has been provided, the costimulatory receptor turns on a costimulatory signal by binding to its corresponding activated antibody, ligand or antigen-binding fragment, thereby completely activating an immune effector cell. The costimulatory receptor-mediated activation of signaling pathways generally plays a key role in the effective occurrence of immune responses. Common costimulatory receptors comprise but are not limited to CD28, CD40, CD137 and OX-40.
In the present application, the term “tumor necrosis factor (TNF)” generally refers to a TNF protein, and is not a superfamily of TNF ligands. The Genbank Accession No. of human TNFα is NP_000585.2. The term “TNFα” encompasses pro-TNFα which is the precursor form of TNFα, full-length TNFα, and any form of TNFα produced in an intracellular process. This term also encompasses naturally-occurring and non-naturally-occurring variants of TNFα, such as splice variants, allelic variants, and isoforms. TNFα can bind to two receptors, namely, TNFR1 (a type 1 TNF receptor; CD120a; p55/60) and TNFR2 (a type 2 TNF receptor; CD120b; p75/80). TNFα acts as a pro-inflammatory cytokine, for example in neuroinflammation.
In the present application, the term “tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes” generally refers to infiltrating lymphocytes isolated from tumor tissues. Immunohistochemical staining show that the tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes may comprise CD3+ T cells, CD20+, CD79α+B cells, plasma cells and CD56+ NK cells; and they may also comprise T cells, few B cells, NK cells, macrophages and dendritic cells. The tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes can produce highly efficient and highly specific anti-tumor killing effects directly by means of cytotoxic T lymphocytes and secretory cytokines. In the present application, the tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes may comprise mononuclear leukocytes, which leave the bloodstream and migrate to a tumor. The tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes may be selected from the group consisting of T cells, B cells, natural killer cells, and natural killer T cells. In the present application, the term “seed cells” generally refers to tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes cultured from tumor tissues using any suitable medium including the medium of the present application. These cells can act as a starting cell population for further expansion in the subsequent culture, or as a cell population for end uses, such as a cell population for infusion therapy to individual subjects. The seed cells can be obtained from tumor tissues undergoing any different culture duration, and the culture duration of the seed cells can be determined according to the subsequent use of the seed cells, and is not limited to a specific culture duration. In the present application, the term “IL-15” generally refers to pro-inflammatory cytokines, also called “IL-15 antigen” and “interleukin 15”, which act as effective growth, survival and activation factors for T cells (in particular intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes (IEL)) and natural killer (NK) cells. It has been proved that the expression of IL-15 increases in a variety of inflammatory diseases, including CD, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and psoriasis (Malamut et al., 2010). IL-15 is considered as a central regulating factor of CD immunopathogenesis and a non-redundant driving factor of lymphoma formation in RCD.
In the present application, the term “IL-2” generally refers to a lymphokine-derived protein which is produced from normal peripheral blood lymphocytes and exist in vivo at a low concentration. Initially, Morgan et al. (1976, Science 193: 1007-1008) described IL-2, which was originally called T cell growth factor, since it was capable of inducing the proliferation of stimulated T lymphocytes. This term also comprises modified (for example glycosylated, acetylated, phosphorylated, etc.) proteins of IL-2 after expression.
In the present application, the term “IL-7” generally refers to a protein encoded by an IL-7 gene. IL-7 is a hematopoietic growth factor secreted by stromal cells in bone marrow and thymus. It can be produced by keratinocytes, dendritic cells, hepatocytes, neurons and epithelial cells. IL-7 can be involved in an effect on T cells and B cells.
In the present application, the term “PD-1” generally refers to an immunosuppressive receptor belonging to a CD28 family. PD-1 is mainly expressed in vivo on previously activated T cells and binds to two ligands, namely, PD-1 and PD-2. A complete hPD-1 sequence can be found in GenBank under Accession No. U64863.
In the present application, the term “LYC-55716” generally refers to a RORγ activator. Its CAS NO. is 2055536-64-4.
In the present application, the term “GNE-1858” generally refers to an HPKI inhibitor with CAS No. T11438.
In the present application, the term “TWS119” generally refers to a GSK-3 inhibitor with CAS No. 601514-19-6.
In the present application, the term “RRX-001” generally refers to an epigenetic modulator with radiosensitization activity. The RRX-001 can down-regulate the CD47/SIRPα axis and repolarize TAM and other immunosuppressive cells in a tumor microenvironment into an immunostimulatory phenotype. Its CAS NO. is 925206-65-1.
In the present application, the term “CNI-1493” generally refers to a compound capable of preventing the production of inflammatory cytokines (including TNF), and its CAS No. is 164301-51-3.

Furthermore, after the donor subject undergoes the autologous infusion of TILs cultured in the seed medium of the present application, the lymphocytes in the donor subject can robustly proliferate.
Not wishing to be bound by any particular theory, the following examples are merely to illustrate the fusion protein, preparation methods and uses and the like according to the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
The TIL seed cell medium was prepared using the following components (Catalog No.).
Different TIL seed cell media were formulated according to Table 1 to Table 3. After the addition of a serum and dual antibiotics to a basal medium proportionally, the basal medium could be stored at 4° C. for no more than 1 month. Before use, the medium at 4° C. was taken out and preheated in a water bath at 37° C., and then other components (various interleukins, colony stimulating factors, interferons, TNF-α, various antibodies and other molecules) were added to a working concentration for TIL culture. In addition, as a contrast, a CMT medium (hereinafter referred to as CM1) containing 6000 IU/mL IL-2, Glutamax and antibiotics was prepared according to the formula and method described in Example 5 in the specification of CN110099998A, and was for use in the pre-REP culture of TILs (corresponding to the seed cells herein) derived from tumor samples.
The body effusions (ascites T012 and T013 and pleural effusion T014) derived from tumor patients were centrifuged at 300 g for 8 minutes. After removing the supernatant, the cell pellets were washed three times with D-PBS, during which the cell pellets were centrifuged at 300 g for 8 minutes each time. Finally, the cells were resuspended in the TIL seed medium and cultured at 37° C. in the presence of 5% CO2. On Day 12, the TIL seed cells were harvested and total cell counts and cellular viability were measured; the phenotype of the cells was detected using a flow cytometer; and the secretion level of IFN-γ was detected with the HTRF IFN-γ detection kit (Cisbio Human IFN gamma kit, Catalog No.: 62HIFNGPET) according to the method described in the user manual.
The TIL seed cells in the ascite or pleural effusion in each of the following groups were derived from 6 mL of body effusion.
The information of each tumor tissue (body effusion) treated in Example 3 was shown in Table 4:
The tumor tissues and body effusions treated in Example 2 and Example 4 were cultured in the medium groups arranged in Table 5, in which “+” indicates that the numbered medium was used, and “−” indicates that the medium was not used. CMT medium was provided for tumor tissues T003, T005 and T007 as a control.
The culture results were shown in Table 61 to Table 17 and
T016 was cultured with the medium No. 15, where the total count of cells was 1.13×108, the cell viability was 95.01%, the concentration of secreted IFN-γ in the supernatant was 8446.32 μg/mL, and the percentage of CD3+ cells was 92.64%.
Table 6 to Table 14 and the results of T016 showed that, on Day 12 when the solid tumor tissues cultured with the seed cell medium in each group in the present application were harvested, all the total counts of cells could reach at least about 108 cells, and for some tumor samples, such as T003, T005 and T006, the total counts of cells could even reach up to about 6×108 cells and exceed 7×108 cells. Furthermore, although the total count of cells harvested from each of the three samples of T003, T005 and T007 that were cultured in parallel using CM1 also exceeded 1×108 or 2×108 cells, the total count of cells was relatively lower than that of cells cultured in the mediums of other groups corresponding thereto. The viability of the TIL seed cells cultured in the seed medium of each group of the present application was relatively high, which was above 85% and mostly exceeded 90%. However, the viability of the seed cells harvested from the three samples T003, T005 and T007 that were cultured in parallel with CM1 was significantly lower than the viability of the cells cultured in other medium groups corresponding thereto, where the viabilities of the CM1 seed cells of two samples T005 and T007 were both lower than 80%. In addition, the IFN-γ secretion of the TIL seed cells cultured using the seed medium of each group of the present application was at a relatively high level. The IFN-γ secretion of the TIL seed cells harvested from the three samples T003, T005 and T007 cultured in parallel using CM1 was also significantly lower than those corresponding thereto.
The results in Table 15 to Table 17 showed that the TIL seed cells could also be successfully cultured from body effusions (such as pleural effusions and ascites) of tumor patients by using the seed cell medium of each group of the present application. For some of the samples, more than 2×108 TIL seed cells could even be cultured from the body effusion as little as 10 mL or less. Moreover, the viability of TIL seed cells cultured from the body effusion by using the seed medium in each group was high, all higher than 85% and mostly higher than 90%; and meanwhile, the IFN-γ secretion of TIL seed cells in all groups was also at a high level.
The groups and culture results of the tumor tissue samples obtained by needle biopsy were shown in Table 18 to Table 20.
The results in Table 18 to Table 20 showed that, after 12 days of culture using the TIL seed cells No. 2, No. 15 and No. 12 enumerated in Example 1, respectively, around 0.3×108 TIL seed cells could be obtained for the three needle biopsy tumor tissue samples T009, T010, and T011. After the aforementioned tissues were cultured in parallel using the CM1 medium, a roughly equivalent number of TILs could be obtained only from the malignant melanoma tissue sample T011 obtained by needle biopsy, and the other two tissue samples obtained by needle biopsy showed no obvious TILs under microscopic observation after 12 days. Compared with CM1 TIL, the TIL seed cells derived from T011 tumor tissues obtained by needle biopsy and cultured in the medium No. 12 showed higher viability and IFN-γ secretion, and the percentages of CD3+ cells was roughly the same in the two.
In addition, the cell viability of TILs derived from the above three tumor tissues obtained by needle biopsy and cultured using the TIL seed cell media No. 2, No. 15 and No. 12 was also greater than 86%, and up to 95% or more, and the level of IFN-γ secretion and the percentage of CD3+ cells was also at a high level.
In order to verify the clinical safety and effectiveness of the TIL obtained by the culture method of the present application, a clinical trial of TIL infusion therapy against solid tumors was conducted. This clinical trial has been approved by the Ethics Committee of Shanghai Tenth People's Hospital.
