CD4 T cell vaccine and use thereof
View Patent ↗The present invention relates to a CD4 T cell vaccine and a use thereof, and provides a CD4 T cell vaccine which can increase intracellular viability and effectively induce an antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) response.
1. A CD4+ T cell vaccine, wherein the CD4+T cell is transfected with nucleic acid encoding a tumor antigen; and
a nucleic acid encoding two or more costimulatory ligands selected from the group consisting of CD80, 4-1BBL, CD70, and OX40L,
wherein a subject treated with the CD4+T cell vaccine generates a CD8+T cell immune response to the tumor antigen.
2. The CD4+ T cell vaccine of claim 1 , wherein the tumor antigen is selected from the group consisting of ovalalbumin, survivin, gp75, gp100, MDM2, MART-1, MAGE-1, MAGE-3, tyrosinase, telomerase, her-2/neu, α-1 fetoprotein, G250, NY-ESO-1, Ova 257 (SEQ ID NO:5), tyrosinase-related protein 1 455 (Trp1 455 ; SEQ ID NO:6), Trp2 180 (SEQ ID NO:7), gp100 25 (gp100 25 ; SEQ ID NO:8), MAGE 1 nonapeptide (SEQ ID NO:9), MART-APL peptide (SEQ ID NO:10), naturally presented Melan-A/MART-1 nonamer peptide (SEQ ID NO:11), and PSA-1 peptide (SEQ ID NO:12).
3. The CD4+ T cell vaccine of claim 1 , wherein the CD80 comprises a nucleotide sequence comprising SEQ ID NO: 1.
4. The CD4+ T cell vaccine of claim 1 , wherein the 4-1BBL comprises a nucleotide sequence comprising SEQ ID NO: 2.
5. The CD4+ T cell vaccine of claim 1 , wherein the CD70 comprises a nucleotide sequence comprising SEQ ID NO: 3.
6. The CD4 T cell vaccine of claim 1 , wherein the OX40L comprises a nucleotide sequence comprising SEQ ID NO: 4.
7. The CD4+ T cell vaccine of claim 1 , wherein the CD4+ T cell is transfected with an RNA encoding the tumor antigen; and RNAs encoding CD80 and 4-1BBL.
8. The CD4+T cell vaccine of claim 1 , wherein the CD4+T cell vaccine is transfected with an RNA encoding the tumor antigen; and RNAs encoding CD70 and OX40L.
9. The CD4+ T cell vaccine of claim 1 , wherein the CD4+ T cell is prepared by
transducing an RNA encoding the tumor antigen and RNAs encoding the costimulatory ligands to a CD4+ T cell isolated from peripheral blood through electroporation, and
culturing the transduced CD4+ T cells in the presence of IL-2 and αCD3/CD28-coated beads, wherein the ratio of αCD3/CD28-coated beads to CD4+ T cells is 1:1 to 1:2.
10. A method of treating tumors in a subject, the method comprising:
administering a pharmaceutically effective dose of the CD4+T cell vaccine of claim 1 to the subject in need thereof.
11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the tumors include any one of a solid tumor, a liquid tumor, a hematological tumor, renal cell cancer, melanomas, breast cancer, prostate cancer, testicular cancer, bladder cancer, ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, stomach cancer, esophageal cancer, pancreatic cancer, lung cancer, neuroblastomas, glioblastomas, retinoblastomas, leukemias, myelomas, lymphomas, hepatoma, adenomas, sarcomas, carcinomas, or blastomas.
12. The CD4+ T cell vaccine of claim 1 , wherein the CD4+ T cell is transfected with CD80 and 4-1BBL.
