CIK/DC-CIK and its application in cell therapy



【background knowledge】
CIK is an abbreviation for "Cytokine-Induced Killer Cells", which is referred to as "cytokine-induced killer cells" in Chinese.
CIK is a group of heterogeneous cells in which mononuclear cells are cultured under the action of CD3 mAb and various cytokines (including IFN-γ, IL-2, etc.), and CD3+CD56+ cells are the main effector cells. The powerful anti-tumor activity of T lymphocytes has the non-MHC (major histocompatibility antigen) limiting tumor killing ability of NK cells (natural killer cells).



Advantages of CIK cells: high tumoricidal activity, broad spectrum of tumoricidal activity, low toxicity to normal tissues, and high amplification in vitro. It is a adoptive immunotherapy cell widely used in clinical practice.

[Culture principle]
Cytokines and antibodies for CIK culture:
1. CD3-excited monoclonal antibody:
The first signal of T cell activation comes from the receptor on the surface of T cells, that is, the specific binding of T cell antigen receptor (TCR) to the antigen presented by APC, that is, the specificity of T cells to antigen. Identification. TCR is a heterodimer composed of two different peptide chains which, on the surface of T cells, binds to CD3 molecules by non-covalent bonds to form a TCR/CD3 complex. The recognition of specific antigen by TCR causes aggregation of the cytoplasmic tail of the co-receptor CD4 or CD8 molecules on the surface of CD3 and T cells, thereby activating tyrosine kinases (Lck, Fyn and ZAP-70, etc.) linked to the cytoplasmic tail. Phosphorylation of tyrosine (Y) in the immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM) of the cytoplasmic region of CD3 molecule. Phosphorylated tyrosine (pY) further phosphorylates downstream tyrosine-containing proteins, causing a cascade of kinase activation (phosphatidylinositol pathway or MAP kinase pathway, etc.), ultimately by activating transcription factors In the nucleus, binding to target genes (such as IL-2 and IFN-γ) that regulate T cell proliferation and activation, causing gene expression and transcription, and T cells are thus transferred from a quiescent state to a proliferating and activated state.
It can be seen from the above that CD3 molecules play an extremely critical role in the transduction of T cell activation signals. CD3-excited monoclonal antibody specifically binds to the CD3 molecule on the surface of T cells, which can cause phosphorylation of tyrosine in the ITAM motif of the cytoplasmic region of CD3 molecule, which in turn leads to activation of downstream signals of T cell proliferation and activation, thereby enabling T Cell proliferation and activation. That is to say, CD3-excited monoclonal antibody can mimic the recognition and activation process of antigen and TCR/CD3 complex, which leads to the proliferation and activation of T cells, and is therefore an indispensable stimulating factor in CIK cell culture.
In addition, CD3-excited monoclonal antibodies must pay attention to the clone number when selecting. Studies have shown that only CD3-excited mAbs with the clone number OKT-3 can stimulate the proliferation of T cells in all humans, while CD3-excited monoclonal antibodies of other clones can only stimulate some human T cells. Therefore, in the case of CIK culture, it is best to use OKT-3 clones to ensure that each patient's T cells can be activated.
2. IL-2 (Interleukin-2)
IL-2 was originally discovered as T cell growth factor (TCGF) and is the most important cytokine that causes T cell proliferation. IL-2 is both an autocrine cytokine and a paracrine cytokine that promotes T cell activation and enters a cell division state by specific binding to the IL-2 receptor (IL-2R) on the surface of T cells.
In addition, IL-2 can also stimulate the growth of NK cells and enhance their killing ability. Therefore, IL-2 must be added to CIK cell culture to promote the proliferation and activation of T cells.
3. IFN-γ (interferon-γ)
IFN-γ has the effect of up-regulating the expression of IL-2R on the surface of peripheral blood lymphocytes, thus enhancing the sensitivity and intensity of T cells to IL-2 proliferative response. The addition of IFN-γ during the induction of CIK cell formation reduces the amount of IL-2. The study found that the order of IFN-γ addition is closely related to the cytotoxic activity of CIK. The cytotoxic activity of CIK was significantly increased by adding IFN-γ first, and then adding IL-2 after 24 hours of culture.
4. IL-1α (interleukin-1α)
IL-1α also mediates up-regulation of IL-2R on the surface of peripheral blood lymphocytes. When IL-1α is combined with IFN-γ and the elicited CD3 monoclonal antibody, the cytotoxic effect of CIK can be significantly enhanced.

[Cell preparation]
1. Collection of peripheral blood mononuclear cells
1.1 using a blood cell separator to collect 50-100 mL of the patient's own peripheral blood mononuclear cells;
1.2 Lymphocyte separation solution further purification of mononuclear cells (PBMC) by density gradient centrifugation;
1.3 Serum-free medium was washed twice to obtain PBMC with a purity of 90% or more.

2.1 PBMC was suspended in serum-free medium at a concentration of 1-2 x 106/ml, and added to a recombinant human IFN-γ at 1,000 U/ml, and cultured in a 37 ° C, 5% CO 2 incubator;
2.2 After 24 h, 50 ng/ml of CD3 monoclonal antibody and 300 U/ml of recombinant human IL-2 were added to stimulate the growth and proliferation of CIK cells;
Note: 100 U/ml recombinant human IL-1α can also be added at this time.
2.3 Change the liquid or expand the bottle once every 3 days, and add the recombinant human IL-2 300 U/ml;
2.4 On day 14 of culture, CIK cells were harvested.
2.5 CIK cell quality control:
2.5.1 Trypan blue staining test: live cells should be above 80%;
2.5.2 Flow cytometry to detect the expression of CD3, CD8, CD56 and other molecules on the cell surface: the proportion of CD3+CD56+ cells should be above 20%.
2.5.3 Cell killing experiment: Using CIK cells as effector cells, tumor cells (which may be primary tumor cells or tumor cell lines) as target cells, and effector cells and target cells are added in a ratio of 10:1 (number ratio). In the 96-well U-shaped plate, each well contained 1 x 104 target cells, and the final volume was 200 μl, and three replicate wells were set. After culturing for 4 hours, the culture supernatant was taken, and the killing rate of the effector cells against the target cells was detected by a lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) kit.
2.5.4 Before harvesting the cells, take a small amount of culture for bacterial and fungal culture, and test for mycoplasma, chlamydia, and endotoxin (standard: negative for pathogen detection, endotoxin <5 Eu).

The animal-free recombinant cytokine does not have any animal-derived substances in the production process, especially the incorporation of bovine protein, so that the recombinant human protein finally obtained does not contain any animal components. This can avoid contamination of animal pathogens (such as mad cow disease, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, etc.) and xenogeneic rejection and allergic reactions caused by foreign proteins. Therefore, it is preferable to use animal-free recombinant cytokines in cell culture in vitro.

【background knowledge】
DC is the abbreviation of "Dendritic Cells", which is called "dendritic cells" in Chinese. It is named for its many dendritic or pseudo-protrusions. The DC was discovered in 1973 by the 2011 Nobel Prize winner and Canadian scientist Ralph M. Steinman. It is the most powerful antigen-presenting cell (APC) found today. It has been confirmed that DC is the only APC that can significantly stimulate the proliferation of naïve T cells. Mature DCs can present tumor antigens through pathways such as type II histocompatibility antigen (MHC-II), effectively resisting tumor cells. The immune escape mechanism, while other APCs (such as monocyte macrophages, B cells, etc.) can only stimulate activated or memory T cells. DC is the initiator of the body's adaptive T cell immune response and plays an extremely important role in tumor immunity.
CIK is a group of heterogeneous cells in which mononuclear cells are cultured under the action of CD3 mAb and various cytokines (including IFN-γ, IL-2, etc.), and CD3+CD56+ cells are the main effector cells. The powerful anti-tumor activity of T lymphocytes has the non-MHC (major histocompatibility antigen) limiting tumor killing ability of NK cells (natural killer cells).
DC-CIK (or DC+CIK) [1] refers to CIK cells co-cultured with DC cells, and it can be said that the final effector cells are CIK cells activated by DC in vitro. A number of studies have shown that DC and CIK have synergistic effects. After co-incubation, the expression of co-stimulatory molecules on DC surface and antigen-presenting ability are significantly improved, while the proliferative capacity of CIK and cytotoxic activity in vitro and in vivo are also enhanced, so DC- CIK is more effective than CIK alone. Co-culture of tumor antigen-loaded DCs with CIK can stimulate the production of tumor antigen-specific T cells. Such DC-CIK treatment has both specific and non-specific dual tumor killing effects, and DC stimulation without tumor antigen loading. Activated CIK is more active and is often used in clinical and scientific research.
CIK cells and DC cells are two important components of cellular immunotherapy, and the combination of the two ensures a highly effective immune response.

[Culture principle]
1. Cytokines for DC culture:
1.1 GM-CSF (granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor)
GM-CSF is a hematopoietic growth factor that stimulates the formation of colonies of neutrophils and macrophages in vitro and has the function of promoting the proliferation and development of early red megakaryocytes and eosinophilic progenitor cells.
GM-CSF is one of the first cytokines identified to have an effect on DC. The function of GM-CSF in DC culture is to promote the differentiation of monocytes into large macrophage-like cells, and the expression of MHC class II molecules on the cell surface is enhanced, thereby enhancing the antigen presentation function of cells. In addition, GM-CSF can also promote the survival of DC.
1.2 IL-4 (Interleukin-4)
The role of IL-4 in the induction of DCs by monocytes is to inhibit the overgrowth of macrophages, thereby directing monocytes to differentiate into DCs. If IL-4 is not added to the culture system, monocytes will differentiate into macrophages. At the same time, IL-4 also has the ability to reduce the expression of CD14 molecules on the cell surface. A decrease in the expression level of CD14 is an important marker for the differentiation of monocytes into DCs.
The interaction of GM-CSF and IL-4 can differentiate mononuclear cells into immature DCs. At this time, DCs have strong antigen uptake and processing ability, but antigen presentation ability is weak. MHC class I, class II molecules and B7 family molecules (CD80, CD86, etc.) are moderately expressed on the cell surface, but CD14 is not expressed.
1.3 TNF-α (tumor necrosis factor-α)
TNF-α can down-regulate the macrocytosis of immature DCs and the expression of surface Fc receptors, so that the intracellular MHC class II compartments disappear, but can up-regulate MHC class I and II molecules on the cell surface. The expression of B7 family molecules (CD80, CD86, etc.) differentiates immature DCs into mature DCs (mature DC). At this time, the antigen uptake and processing ability of DCs is significantly weakened, and antigen presentation ability is significantly enhanced, which is extremely active. T cells.

[Cell preparation]
1. Collection of peripheral blood mononuclear cells
1.1 using a blood cell separator to collect 80-100 mL of the patient's own peripheral blood mononuclear cells;
1.2 Lymphocyte separation liquid density gradient centrifugation further purification of mononuclear cells (PBMC);
1.3 The serum-free medium was washed twice to obtain PBMC with a purity of more than 90%, and the number of cells should be 1-3×108.

2. (Optional step) Preparation of tumor antigen The tumor antigen for DC loading may be Tumor-Specific Antigens (TSA) or Tumor-Associated Antigens (TAA), or may be tumor whole cells. antigen.
DCs loaded with TSA or TAA have good targeting, but the method has the defects that the tumor-specific antigen or antigen peptide type is determined to be small and the immune attack of a single antigen often fails to kill tumor cells. The use of DCs loaded with tumor whole cell antigens overcomes these deficiencies because it is not necessary to know that those antigens are TSAs or TAAs of tumor cells, and that multiple tumor antigens in whole antigens can trigger DCs to produce cells against different antigenic determinants. Toxic T lymphocytes (CTL) are cloned to achieve effective killing of tumor cells.
There are many methods for tumor cell whole antigen-loaded DC, including loading DC with tumor cell lysate, DC with apoptotic tumor cells, DC with necrotic or dead tumor cells, DC with tumor living cells, and DC with tumor cells. Fusion and so on. At present, it is commonly used in clinical practice to load DC with tumor cell lysate, because the method is simple, rapid and effective.
Repeated freezing and thawing is a common method to obtain tumor cell lysate. The specific steps are as follows:

1) fever, the most common side effect of CIK is fever, often occurs within 1-2 hours after reinfusion, and some patients have an exothermic reaction after 4 hours of reinfusion. A fever reaction occurs first to the doctor. In general, low or moderate fever can be treated without special treatment. Patients with phlegm drink more water. When high fever, follow the physical cooling of the doctor or ice or oral antipyretic drugs; observe the changes of the patient during the chill, keep warm, and give it when necessary. oxygen;
2) Allergic reactions, patients with rash, dyspnea, palpitations and other reactions, such as rare reactions in clinical, if the allergic reaction immediately stop the infusion, notify the doctor, give oxygen, anti-allergy treatment;
(7) After the return is completed, the outpatients are routinely observed for 30 minutes. If there is any discomfort, the nurses should be informed in time; if the patients have changed their condition after leaving the hospital, they should return to the clinic in time;
(8) Observe and record the patient's condition and fill in the cell return care record sheet.

7. Efficient CIK returning precautions (1) Before infusion of cells, they must be checked by two people before they can be entered;
(2) Carefully check the cell quality and check the cell test report;
(3) Using a disposable blood vessel, it is forbidden to use an infusion tube with a precision filter; use a scalp needle of No. 7 or above to avoid damage to the cells caused by the shear force generated by the small needle;
(4) prohibiting the addition of other drugs to the cells;
(5) Pay attention to the infusion speed, the initial speed is 30~40 drops/min. If there is no special reaction after 10min observation, change the drip rate to 60~80 drops/min, and lose within 40~60 minutes;
(6) After the cell culture, it should be returned in time. If it needs to be stored, it must be stored in the refrigerator at 2~8 °C for no more than 8 hours;
(7) Before and after radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the cells should be returned at a time interval of 48 hours to prevent CIK cells from being killed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy, which may affect the curative effect.

Second, DC-CIK
With the improvement of cell preparation technology, DC-CIK cell adoptive immunotherapy has been gradually developed in the clinic, and relevant reports are available. In experimental research, Marten experimental studies have shown that DC and CIK co-culture can simultaneously promote the proliferation and immune function of CIK cells and DC cells. Experimental studies by Zhang et al. showed that the application of DC-CIK cells after chemotherapy can effectively inhibit the growth of tumor cells and even completely disappear the tumor; and the anti-tumor effect of DC-CIK cells does not harm the function of the collective immune system. When tumor-specific antigens are relatively poorly understood, the application of DC-CIK cells as adjuvant therapy for tumor chemotherapy and postoperative surgery has important clinical significance.

1. Application in leukemia Zhao Chunhua and other studies have shown that co-culture with DC can achieve higher proliferation rate and stronger anti-tumor activity in vitro and in vivo. DC-CIK cells can be used as a clinically effective anti-leukemia immunity. Treatment strategy. Clinical studies such as Tong Chunrong show that DC-CIK cell therapy has the effect of clearing small residual leukemia cells to prevent recurrence, and intravenous infusion is safe.

2. Application in tumors DC-CIK cells can be obtained by co-culturing CIK cells with homologous DC cells. It not only promotes the maturation of DC cells, but also promotes the proliferation of ClK and enhances its anti-tumor activity. DC cells are the initiators of the body's immune response, capable of inducing long-lasting and potent specific anti-tumor immune responses; CIK cells can eliminate tiny residual lesions in tumor patients through non-specific immune killing, so DCs carrying tumor antigens and organic CIK Binding (ie, DC-CIK cells) produces both specific and non-specific dual anti-tumor effects.

Third, the principle of DC treatment for tumor treatment 1DC can express MHC class I and MHC class II molecules, MHC molecules bind to their captured tumor antigens, form peptide-MHC molecular complexes, and present them to T cells, thus The MHC class I restricted CTL reaction and the MHC class II restricted CD4+ Thl reaction were initiated. At the same time, DC also initiates an immune response by providing a second signal necessary for T cell activation through its highly expressed costimulatory molecules (CD80/B7-1, CD86/B7-2, CD40, etc.).
Binding of 2DC to T cells can secrete IL-12 and IL-18 to activate T cell proliferation, induce CTL production, lead Th1 type immune response, and facilitate tumor clearance; activate perforin P granzyme B and FasL/Fas mediated pathway enhancement NK cytotoxicity;
3DC Chemotactic Cytokines (CCK) specifically chemotactic primary T cells promote T cell aggregation and enhance T cell activation. Preservation of effector T cells persists in the tumor site, possibly affecting the formation of tumor blood vessels by releasing certain anti-angiogenic substances (such as IL-12, IFN-γ) and pro-angiogenic factors. The above CCK further activates DC by positive feedback paracrine, up-regulates the expression of IL-12, CD80 and CD86; meanwhile, DC also directly presents antigenic peptide to CD8+ T cells, and activates CD8+ T cells with the help of activated CD4+ T cells. CD4+ and CD8+ T cells can further enhance the body's anti-tumor immune response by secreting cytokines or directly killing.

Fourth, ACTL
The full name is "AAV-DC-CTL targeted anti-tumor cell immune technology", referred to as "ACTLTM" or "ACTL technology" or "ACTL tumor cell targeted therapy".
"ACTLTM Anti-Cancer Cellular Immunotherapy"

1. ACTL technology background

On October 3, 2011, Professor Steinman, a Canadian scientist, American Medical Association, and a member of the National Academy of Sciences, won the 2011 Nobel Prize in Medicine. Steinman's award was due to his discovery of "Dendritic Cell (DC cells) and its role in the adaptive immune system." At the beginning of the 21st century, Professor Liu Yong from the Cancer Center of Stanford University School of Medicine, under the guidance of Professor Steinman, combined his research with recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) and DC cells studied by Professor Steinman. Development of transfected DC cells with recombinant adeno-associated virus carrying one or several specific tumor-associated antigenic determinant genes, stimulates T lymphocytes in vitro, and produces cells that specifically kill one or several tumor-associated antigen-positive tumor cells Cytotoxic Lymphocytes (CTL cells), followed by relevant clinical trials, were successful. This treatment technology is called ACTL tumor cell targeted therapy technology and has obtained 5 international patent protections. The cytotoxic T lymphocytes specifically prepared by this technology to kill tumor-associated antigen-positive tumor cells are called specific killer T cells (ACTL). , A stands for specific antigen) has high potency, targeting (ie specificity) to kill one or several specific tumor-associated antigen-positive tumor cells and PSMA-positive tumor neovascular endothelial cells, and has no damage to normal cells. effect.

A typical example of clinical application of ACTL tumor cell targeted therapy technology is Professor Steinman's treatment of advanced pancreatic cancer and the treatment of Apple's advanced Steve's cancer. Professor Steinman has only used this treatment technique and has a survival time of 4 years.
After several years of clinical research at Stanford University Cancer Center, it was proved in 2010 that ACTL-specific killer T cells can not only directly target tumor cells, but also block tumor neovascularization, play an indirect role in killing tumor cells, and significantly improve clinical performance. Efficacy. The results of this research were named the most important breakthrough in the field of cancer biotherapy in the first half of 2010 by the 2010 American Society of Oncology (ASCO).
Clinical studies conducted in the United States have shown that ACTL-specific killer T cells may not only reverse the resistance of gynecological and prostate malignant tumors to anti-hormone therapy, but also may reverse tumor cells to Yi_瑞_沙,阿_瓦_ Drug resistance of molecular targeted drugs such as Si-Ding.

2. ACTL technical treatment mechanism
AAV-DC-CTLTM tumor cell targeted therapy technology is to transform the pathogenic wild-type adeno-associated virus (AAV) into a recombinant adeno-associated antigen carrying a specific tumor-associated antigenic determinant gene by genetic recombination technology. The virus, which infects peripheral blood mononuclear cells (Monocytes. Mo), is induced by cytokines, and the monocytes are transformed into DC cells with powerful antigen-presenting functions. The DC cells obtained by this technique stimulate T lymphocytes of patients in vitro to produce Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) which effectively kill tumor cells. The produced CTL has tumor antigen specificity, ie, targeting, and has a killing effect only on one or several specific tumor-associated antigen-positive tumor cells and PSMA-positive tumor neovascular endothelial cells, and has no antigen-negative cells. effect.
CTL cells are a subset of T cells of CD8+, which is a specific T cell, which has direct killing effect on certain viruses and tumor cells, and constitutes an important anti-virus and anti-tumor line of defense against natural killer cells. The CTL killing mechanism is:
