目的:通过构建表达IL-12的小鼠CAR-T细胞,探讨经尾静脉将其输注于小鼠体内建立细胞因子释放综合征(CRS)模型的方法。方法:构建基于靶向鼠源CD19的CAR分子,包装逆转录病毒载体并感染小鼠T细胞构建mCD19-CAR-T、mCD19/IL-12-CAR-T 细胞。通过构建小鼠体内胰腺癌 Panc02-CD19 细胞移植瘤模型,检测 mCD19/IL-12-CAR-T 细胞的抗肿瘤活性,ELISA法检测两种CAR-T细胞IL-12和IFN-γ分泌水平;经小鼠尾静脉输注mCD19/IL-12-CAR-T 细胞构建CAR-T细胞CRS小鼠模型,流式细胞术检测小鼠血清中IL-6、MCP-1、IL-1、IL-10、TNF-α、IFN-γ等细胞因子的含量,H-E染色法观察荷瘤小鼠肝、脾、肺和肾的病理组织学变化。结果:经过培养扩增的mCD19/IL-12-CAR-T细胞能有效分泌IL-12,CAR阳性率达(56.9±5.4)%;与非靶细胞Panc02或靶细胞Panc02-CD19共培养时,均能高分泌IFN-γ。成功构建小鼠胰腺癌Panc02-CD19细胞移植瘤模型,经小鼠尾静脉注射1×106个mCD19/IL-12-CAR-T细胞能显著抑制移植瘤的生长,但未能诱发严重CRS;输注2×106个mCD19/IL-12-CAR-T细胞后,小鼠出现体质量减轻、血清炎性因子水平升高、组织损伤,最终导致死亡等一系列典型CRS表现。结论:成功构建IL-12-CAR-T细胞诱发的小鼠CRS模型,其稳定性好、重复性高,具有广泛的应用前景。

Objective:To discuss the method of establishing a cytokine release syndrome (CRS) model by constructing murineoriented chimeric antigen receptor-modified T (CAR-T) cells expressing IL-12 and infusing them back into mice via the tail vein.Methods: CAR molecules targeting murine-derived CD19 were constructed, in which the retroviral vectors were packaged, and then the constructed molecules were used to infect mouse T cells to prepare mCD19-CAR-T and mCD19/IL-12-CAR-T cells. The anti-tumor activity of mCD19/IL-12-CAR-T cells was measured by constructing pancreatic cancer Panc02-CD19 cell transplanted tumor model in mice, and the levels of IL-12 and IFN-γ secreted by two CAR-T cells were detected by ELISA; CRS model was constructed by infusing mCD19/IL-12-CAR-T cells back into the tail vein of the mice. The levels of IL-6, MCP-1, IL-1, IL-10, TNF- α, IFN- γ, and other cytokines in the serum of mice were detected by flow cytometry, and the histopathological changes of liver, spleen, lung, and kidney of the mice were observed by H-E staining. Results: After culture expansion, mCD19/IL-12-CAR-T cells could effectively secrete IL-12,and the CAR positive rate reached (56.9±5.4)%; the modified T cells could efficiently secrete IFN-γ no matter co-cultured with nontargeted Panc02 cells or targeted Panc02-CD19 cells. A mouse pancreatic cancer Panc02-CD19 cell transplanted tumor model was successfully constructed, and the tail vein infusion of 1×106 mCD19/IL-12-CAR-T cells significantly inhibited the growth of the transplanted tumor, but failed to induce severe CRS; after the infusion of 2×106 mCD19/IL-12-CAR-T cells, a series of typical CRS manifestations such as reduced body mass, elevated serum inflammatory factor levels, tissue damage and even death were observed in the mice. Conclusion: The IL-12-CAR-T cell-induced CRS model in mice was successfully constructed, and it is stable and reproducible with wide application prospects.
