Recombinant plasma membrane-based vesicle, for treating cancer
The present invention relates to a recombinant plasma membrane-based vesicle, and more specifically to a recombinant plasma membrane-based vesicle comprising a VSV-G mutated protein in which histidine, the 162 nd amino acid, has been substituted with arginine, and a pharmaceutical composition for treating cancer comprising the recombinant plasma membrane-based vesicle.
1. A method of treatment comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a recombinant plasma membrane-based vesicle to a subject that has cancer, wherein:
(i) a vesicular stomatitis virus glycoprotein (VSV-G) mutated protein in which the 162nd amino acid, histidine, is substituted with arginine is introduced into the membrane of the vesicle and
(ii) the vesicle is free of other anti-cancer agents.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the recombinant plasma membrane-based vesicle is an exosome, extracellular vesicle, or cell-derived nanovesicle.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the recombinant plasma membrane-based vesicle is isolated/purified from a mammalian cell, which is transformed into a gene construct comprising a polynucleotide encoding the VSV-G mutated protein and thus overexpresses the VSV-G mutated protein.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprising administering one or more anticancer compounds.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the anticancer compound is an immunogenic cell death inducer or an immune checkpoint inhibitor.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the immunogenic cell death inducer is an anthracycline-type anticancer agent, a taxane-type anticancer agent, an anti-EGFR antibody, a BK channel agonist, bortezomib, cardiac glycoside, a cyclophosphamide-type anticancer agent, a GADD34/PP1 inhibitor, LV-tSMAC, measles virus, bleomycin, mitoxantrone, or oxaliplatin.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the anthracycline-type anticancer agent is daunorubicin, doxorubicin, epirubicin, idarubicin, pixantrone, sabarubicin, or valrubicin.
8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the the taxane-type anticancer agent is paclitaxel or docetaxel.
9. The method of claim 6 , wherein the anti-EGFR antibody is cetuximab.
10. The method of claim 5 , wherein the immune checkpoint inhibitor is a PD-1/PD-L1 interaction inhibitor or a CTLA-4/B7-1/B7-2 interaction inhibitor.
11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the PD-1/PD-L1 interaction inhibitor is an antibody targeting PD-1 or PD-L1, or a functional fragment of the antibody, or a single chain-based antibody analog.
12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the single chain-based antibody analog is scFv, sdAb, diabody, monobody, variable lymphocyte receptor (VLR), nanobody, or llama heavy chain antibody fragment (VHH).
13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the antibody targeting PD-1 or PD-L1 is pembrolizumab, nivolumab, atezolizumab, or avelumab.
14. The method of claim 10 , wherein the CTLA-4/B7-1/B7-2 interaction inhibitor is an antibody targeting CTLA-4, B7-1, or B7-2, or a functional fragment of the antibody, or a single chain-based antibody analog.
15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the CTLA-4/B7-1/B7-2 interaction inhibitor is ipilimumab.
