Abstract

Tumour vaccine, for immune therapy of tumours, comprises tumour cells which also contain a gene for an exogenic heat shock protein.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft die Herstellung eines gentechnisch modifizierten Tumorzellimpfstoffes für die Immuntherapie von malignen Tumoren. Anwendungsgebiete der Erfindung sind die Medizin und die pharmazeutische Industrie.The invention relates to the production of a genetically engineered modified tumor cell vaccine for the immunotherapy of malignant tumors. Areas of application of the invention are Medicine and the pharmaceutical industry.

Die grundlegende Behandlung von Patienten mit einem soliden malignen Tumor ist die chirurgische oder strahlen­ therapeutische Entfernung des Primärtumors. Allerdings besteht auch nach kompletter Entfernung des Primärtumors das Risiko, daß Mikrometastasen, die bereits zum Zeitpunkt der Operation existierten, in der postoperativen Phase zu lebensbedrohlichen Metastasen auswachsen. Um die Metastasen zu bekämpfen, wird neben einer chemotherapeutischen Behandlung der Patienten auch versucht, die immunologische Abwehrbereitschaft des Patienten gegen die Tumorzellen wirksam zu stärken. Dies kann durch eine aktive spezifische oder passive Immunisierung geschehen. Die aktive spezifische Immunisierung verfolgt das Ziel, das Immunsystem des Patienten durch Impfung mit devitalisierten Tumorzellen oder definierten tumorassoziierten Antigenen derart zu aktivieren, daß tumorspezifische Abwehrzellen oder Antikörper gebildet werden, die die Mikrometastasen eliminieren oder zumindest deren Wachstum merklich hemmen. Diese Therapieform kann auch zur Behandlung von Patienten mit Leukämie in der Remissionsphase eingesetzt werden. Eine Variante der aktiven spezifischen Immunisierung besteht darin, daß man Immunzellen des Patienten extrakorporal, in der Zellkultur mit Hilfe devitalisierter Tumorzellen oder definierter löslicher tumorassoziierter Antigene tumorspezifisch aktiviert und vermehrt und die derart aktivierten Immunzellen in den Patienten retransfundiert.The basic treatment for patients with a solid malignant tumor is surgical or radiate therapeutic removal of the primary tumor. Indeed even after complete removal of the primary tumor Risk of micrometastases already occurring at the time of Surgery existed in the postoperative period too outgrow life-threatening metastases. To the metastases Combat is next to a chemotherapy Treatment of patients also tried the immunological Defense of the patient against the tumor cells to strengthen effectively. This can be done through an active specific or passive immunization happen. The active specific Immunization aims to improve the immune system of the Patients by vaccination with devitalized tumor cells or to activate defined tumor-associated antigens in such a way that tumor-specific defense cells or antibodies are formed that eliminate or at least eliminate the micrometastases noticeably inhibit their growth. This form of therapy can also for the treatment of patients with leukemia in the Remission phase can be used. A variant of the active specific immunization is that you have immune cells  of the patient extracorporeally, in the cell culture with the help devitalized tumor cells or defined soluble tumor-associated antigens are tumor-specifically activated and increased and the activated immune cells in the Retransfused patient.

Nachteilig für die aktive spezifische Immunisierung ist, daß die Tumorzellen des Menschen in den meisten Fällen eine zu geringe Immunogenität besitzen, um per se eine wirksame immunologische Abwehrreaktion auslösen zu können. Daher ist man darauf angewiesen, die Immunogenität der als Impfstoff vorgesehenen Tumorzellen künstlich zu erhöhen. Dieses kann dadurch geschehen, daß man die Tumorzellen chemisch oder enzymatisch verändert (Prager et. al., Ann NY Acad Sci 276, 61-64 (1976)). Auch ein Hinzufügen apathogener Viren (Cassel et. al, Cancer 52, 856-860 (1983)) oder abgeschwächter Tuberkelbakterien/BCG/(Hanna et. al., Cancer Immunol Immunother 7, 165-173 (1979)) kann die Immunogenität eines Tumorzellimpfstoffes steigern. Mit Hilfe der Gentechnik hat man Gene unterschiedlicher Wirkstoffe in Tumorzellen übertragen, ebenfalls mit der Zielstellung, die von dem Tumorzellimpfstoff ausgelöste Immunantwort zu verstärken (Pardoll, Curr Opin Immunol 4, 619-623 (1992)). Der Gentransfer in Tumorzellen betrifft u. a. Zytokine, Interferone, Kolonie-stimulierende Faktoren, Histokompati­ bilitätsantigene oder costimulatorisch wirkende Faktoren der Immunantwort, sämtlich Wirkstoffe humaner Herkunft. Trotz mancher Erfolge ist es aber bisher nicht gelungen, einen klinisch überzeugenden Tumorzellimpfstoff zu entwickeln. A disadvantage of the active specific immunization is that human tumor cells in most cases one too have low immunogenicity to be effective per se to be able to trigger an immunological defense reaction. thats why one relied on the immunogenicity of the vaccine intended to artificially increase tumor cells. This can happen by chemically or enzymatically changed (Prager et. al., Ann NY Acad Sci 276, 61-64 (1976)). Also adding apathogenic viruses (Cassel et al., Cancer 52, 856-860 (1983)) or weakened tubercle bacteria / BCG / (Hanna et. al., Cancer Immunol Immunother 7, 165-173 (1979)) can Increase immunogenicity of a tumor cell vaccine. With help Genetic engineering has genes of different active ingredients in Tumor cells transferred, also with the aim of immune response triggered by the tumor cell vaccine intensify (Pardoll, Curr Opin Immunol 4, 619-623 (1992)). The gene transfer in tumor cells affects u. a. Cytokines, Interferons, colony stimulating factors, histocompati factors of balance-antigenic or costimulatory effects Immune response, all active ingredients of human origin. Despite However, some successes have so far not been successful to develop clinically convincing tumor cell vaccine.  

Das Ziel der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, die Immunogenität der als Impfstoff verwendeten Tumorzellen durch gentechnische Modifizierung der Tumorzellen wirksam zu verstärken.The aim of the present invention is to improve immunogenicity of the tumor cells used as vaccine by genetic engineering Modify tumor cells effectively.

Dieses Ziel wird erfindungsgemäß durch einen Tumorzellimpfstoff erreicht, der aus Tumorzellen besteht, die zusätzlich das Gen eines exogenen Hitzeschockproteins enthalten. Die wichtigste Ausführungsform der Erfindung besteht darin, das Gen eines mikrobiellen Hitzeschockproteins zu verwenden. Bevorzugt ist der Einsatz von Hitzeschockproteinen aus Mycobakterien, Escherichia coli und aus Chlamydia trachomatis. Besonders bevorzugt sind die Hitzeschockproteine HSP 65 und HSP 70 aus Mycobakterien, HSP 70 aus Escherichia coli (DnaK) sowie HSP 60 und HSP 70 aus Chlamydia trachomatis.According to the invention, this goal is achieved by a Tumor cell vaccine reached, which consists of tumor cells that additionally the gene of an exogenous heat shock protein contain. The most important embodiment of the invention is the gene of a microbial heat shock protein to use. The use of is preferred Heat shock proteins from Mycobacteria, Escherichia coli and from Chlamydia trachomatis. Those are particularly preferred Heat shock proteins HSP 65 and HSP 70 from mycobacteria, HSP 70 from Escherichia coli (DnaK) as well as HSP 60 and HSP 70 Chlamydia trachomatis.

Zur Herstellung des Tumorzellimpfstoffes eignen sich autologe Tumorzellen, die mit Hilfe mechanischer oder enzymatischer Methoden aus chirurgisch entferntem Tumorgewebe isoliert werden. Tumorzellinien, die von allogenen Tumoren gleicher Histologie stammen, können ebenfalls verwendet werden, ein Beispiel dafür sind Zellen einer Colonkarzinomlinie. Der Tumorzellimpfstoff wird postoperativ verabfolgt, vor der Applikation werden die Tumorzellen durch radioaktive Bestrahlung devitalisiert.Autologous are suitable for the production of the tumor cell vaccine Tumor cells using mechanical or enzymatic Methods isolated from surgically removed tumor tissue will. Tumor cell lines that are the same from allogeneic tumors Histology can also be used Examples of this are cells from a colon carcinoma line. Of the Tumor cell vaccine is administered postoperatively before The tumor cells are applied by radioactive Radiation devitalized.

Mit der Herstellung des erfindungsgemäßen Tumorzell­ impfstoffes wird eine neuartige Strategie verfolgt. Durch Einschleusen des Gens eines exogenen Hitzeschockproteins und dessen Expression werden die Tumorzellen nachhaltig verfremdet und damit stärker immunogen. Nach dieser Strategie können Tumorzellimpfstoffe für die Behandlung von Patienten mit Karzinom, Sarkom, malignem Melanom, Leukämie oder malignem Lymphom hergestellt werden.With the production of the tumor cell according to the invention vaccine is pursuing a new strategy. By Injecting the gene of an exogenous heat shock protein and  the tumor cells' expression becomes sustainable alienated and therefore more immunogenic. According to this strategy can use tumor cell vaccines for the treatment of patients with carcinoma, sarcoma, malignant melanoma, leukemia or malignant lymphoma.
