[摘 要] 目的:构建了一种靶向成纤维细胞活化蛋白(FAP)且能分泌CTLA-4单链抗体(scFv)的CAR-T细胞,并探讨其联合血管靶向药物阿帕替尼对胶质母细胞瘤(GBM)的抗肿瘤效果及机制。方法:构建FAP-CTLA-4 CAR过表达载体,转导至T细胞中制备FAP-CTLA-4 CAR-T细胞。流式细胞术检测FAP-CTLA-4 CAR-T细胞表面分子CD69表达,ELISPOT检测其分泌IFN-γ的能力,细胞增殖实验分析FAP-CTLA-4 CAR-T细胞的增殖情况,杀伤实验分析其联合阿帕替尼处理对人脑星形胶质母细胞瘤U-87 MG细胞治疗效果的影响。建立小鼠U-87 MG细胞异种移植瘤模型。分别用FAP-CTLA-4 CAR-T细胞单独治疗或联合阿帕替尼治疗荷瘤小鼠,命名为FAP-CTLA-4 CAR-T组、阿帕替尼组和FAP-CTLA-4 CAR-T + 阿帕替尼组,观察各组小鼠肿瘤生长情况,免疫组化、TUNEL染色与免疫荧光法检测各组肿瘤组织中Ki-67、CD31表达及细胞凋亡情况,流式细胞术分析FAP-CTLA-4 CAR-T细胞在荷瘤小鼠体内的存活状况,H-E染色和血清生化分析评估联合治疗的安全性。结果:与FAP-CTLA-4 CAR-T组、阿帕替尼组相比,FAP-CTLA-4 CAR-T + 阿帕替尼组中CAR-T细胞的活化水平显著提高,细胞增殖能力明显增强,IFN-γ分泌细胞比例及对靶细胞的杀伤效率均提高(P < 0.01或P < 0.05)。在荷瘤小鼠模型中,联合治疗显著抑制肿瘤生长并延长小鼠生存时间(P < 0.01或P < 0.05),同时抑制肿瘤细胞增殖、降低微血管密度、促进肿瘤细胞凋亡,并延长CAR-T细胞在肿瘤组织中的存活时间(P < 0.01或P < 0.05),且未对主要组织器官造成毒性损伤。结论:FAP-CTLA-4 CAR-T细胞与阿帕替尼联合应用在GBM治疗中显示出协同增效作用与良好的安全性。

[Abstract] Objective:To explore the anti-tumor effect of CAR-T cells secreting PD-1 scFv on gastric cancer. Method: We selected EGFR as the target of CAR-T cells and constructed second-generation EGFR-CAR-T cells (EGFR BB-z) and fourth-generation EGFR-CAR-T cells secreting PD-1 scFv (EGFR BB-z/E30). The anti-tumor activity was examined after in vitro activation and long-term stimulation, and its tumor suppression ability was validated through a mouse gastric cell xenograft model. Results: EGFR was highly expressed in gastric cancer tissues and cells (all P<0.01). EGFR BB-z and EGFR BB-z/E30 cells were successfully obtained by lentivirus infection. In vitro experiments showed that compared with EGFR BB-Z, EGFR BB-Z/E30 had longer long-term proliferation ability and stronger tumor killing activity (all P<0.01). In vivo experiments also validated that EGFR BB-z/E30 had obvious tumor inhibitory function in subcutaneous gastric tumor cell transplanted xenograft model and patient-derived tumor xenograft model (PDX) (all P<0.01). It also significantly increased T cell infiltration in tumor site and decreased the expression level of PD-1 (P<0.01 or P<0.05) on EGFR BB-z/E30 cell surface as well as the high secretion of IFN-γ (P<0.05). Conclusion: EGFR-CAR-T cell EGFR BB-z/E30 secreting PD-1 scFv can significantly inhibit the progression of gastric cancer and provide a potential new strategy for the treatment of gastric cancer.
