Description

本発明は、がんの治療のための医薬組成物等に関する。 TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions and the like for the treatment of cancer.

がんの主な治療には外科治療、薬物療法および放射線治療がある。薬物治療のなかでもがん細胞に特異的な分子を標的とする分子標的治療が注目されている。最近になって、がん細胞に特異的に発現するデスレセプター(death receptor)を標的としたがん治療の研究が進んでいる。デスレセプターを刺激することにより、がん細胞のアポトーシスを誘導することができる。デスレセプターのリガンドとして腫瘍壊死因子刺激因子10(TNFSF10)(TRAILともいう)が知られている(非特許文献1等参照)。このサイトカインを癌治療に用いるための研究が行われている。しかしながら、TRAILは血中での分解が早く、がん細胞を効果的に死滅させることができないという問題がある。 The main treatments for cancer include surgery, drug therapy, and radiation therapy. Among drug treatments, molecular target therapy that targets molecules specific to cancer cells is attracting attention. Recently, research has been progressing on cancer treatments that target death receptors, which are specifically expressed in cancer cells. Apoptosis of cancer cells can be induced by stimulating death receptors. Tumor necrosis factor stimulating factor 10 (TNFSF10) (also referred to as TRAIL) is known as a death receptor ligand (see Non-Patent Document 1, etc.). Research is being conducted to use this cytokine for cancer treatment. However, TRAIL has the problem that it degrades quickly in the blood and cannot effectively kill cancer cells.

TRAILは、がん細胞上のデスレセプターに結合し、がん細胞のアポトーシスを誘発する。しかし、TRAILは血中での分解が早く、がん細胞を効果的に死滅させることができないという問題がある。そこで、本発明においては、生理活性ポリペプチドで処理された、TRAILを産生する間葉系組織由来の接着性細胞を用いる。かかる細胞を用いると、TRAILが患者体内で分解されても上記細胞から補充されるので、がん細胞を効果的に死滅させることができ、高い治療効果が得られる。 TRAIL binds to death receptors on cancer cells and induces cancer cell apoptosis. However, TRAIL has the problem that it degrades quickly in the blood and cannot effectively kill cancer cells. Therefore, in the present invention, adherent cells derived from mesenchymal tissue that produce TRAIL and are treated with a physiologically active polypeptide are used. When such cells are used, even if TRAIL is degraded within the patient's body, it is replenished from the cells, so cancer cells can be effectively killed and a high therapeutic effect can be obtained.

実施例2に記載した方法にて脂肪組織からADMPCを単離、培養し、IFN-βにて処理して、TRAILを産生するIFN-β活性化ADMPCを得た。
Example 4. In vivo antitumor effect of mesenchymal tissue-derived adherent cells treated with bioactive polypeptides (1) Experimental method (i) Preparation of IFN-β-activated ADMPC ADMPCs were isolated from the tissues, cultured, and treated with IFN-β to obtain IFN-β-activated ADMPCs that produce TRAIL.

(ii)インビボ実験
肺がん患者から同意を得て入手した肺がん細胞をヌードマウス腰背部に移植し、患者由来腫瘍移植マウス(PDXマウス)を作出した。肺がん細胞移植後24日目には肺がん細胞は腫瘤を形成した。形成した腫瘤を摘出し、3mm角にサイコロ状として、新たなヌードマウス腰背部に植え継ぎを行った。動物をA-Fの6群に分け、IFN-β活性化ADMPCを投与した。A群のマウスには、患者由来腫瘍移植片(PDX)植え継ぎと同時にIFN-β活性化ADMPCを経血管的に投与した。B群のマウスには、PDX植え継ぎ1週間後にIFN-β活性化ADMPCを経血管的に投与した。C群のマウスには、PDX植え継ぎと同時にIFN-β活性化ADMPCを腹腔内投与した。D群のマウスには、PDX植え継ぎ1週間後にIFN-β活性化ADMPCを腹腔内投与した。E群のマウスには、PDX植え継ぎ1週間後にIFN-β活性化ADMPCを腫瘤に直接投与した。F群のマウスは、PDX植え継ぎのみのコントロール群マウスであった。A群-E群における投与細胞数は、動物1匹あたり1x10個であった。PDX植え継ぎ後4週にて各マウスから腫瘤を摘出し、容量を測定し、写真を撮った。
(ii) In vivo experiment Lung cancer cells obtained with consent from a lung cancer patient were transplanted into the lumbar region of a nude mouse to create a patient-derived tumor-grafted mouse (PDX mouse). On the 24th day after lung cancer cell transplantation, the lung cancer cells formed a mass. The formed tumor was removed, diced into 3 mm cubes, and transplanted to the back of a new nude mouse. Animals were divided into 6 groups AF and administered IFN-β activated ADMPC. Mice in group A were transvascularly administered with IFN-β-activated ADMPC at the same time as patient-derived tumor graft (PDX) implantation. Mice in group B were transvascularly administered with IFN-β-activated ADMPC one week after PDX transplantation. Mice in group C were intraperitoneally administered with IFN-β-activated ADMPC at the same time as PDX transplantation. Mice in group D were intraperitoneally administered with IFN-β-activated ADMPC one week after PDX transplantation. For mice in group E, IFN-β-activated ADMPC was directly administered to the tumor mass one week after PDX transplantation. Group F mice were control group mice that received only PDX transplantation. The number of cells administered in groups A-E was 1 x 10 6 cells per animal. Four weeks after PDX transplantation, the tumor mass was excised from each mouse, the volume was measured, and a photograph was taken.

(2)実験結果
PDX植え継ぎ後4週にて各マウスから摘出した腫瘤の写真を図3に示す。摘出した腫瘤の容量の平均値を図4に示す。コントロール群(F群)と比較し、IFNβ活性化ADMPCを投与した群では、経血管的投与・腹腔内投与あるいは腫瘤直接投与のいずれでも腫瘤の縮小を認めた。これは、IFN-β活性化ADMPCが投与経路を選ばずに有効であることを示している。PDX植え継ぎ後1週間後に当該細胞を投与することで腫瘤の縮小を認めたことは、腫瘤治療を目的として当該細胞の投与が有用であることを示している。また、PDX植え継ぎと同時にIFN-β活性化ADMPCを投与しても縮小を認めたことは、周術期に当該細胞を投与することの有用性を示すものである。
(2) Experimental Results Figure 3 shows photographs of tumors excised from each mouse 4 weeks after PDX transplantation. The average volume of the excised tumors is shown in Figure 4. Compared to the control group (Group F), in the group to which IFNβ-activated ADMPC was administered, reduction of the tumor mass was observed whether administered transvascularly, intraperitoneally, or directly to the tumor mass. This indicates that IFN-β activated ADMPC is effective regardless of the route of administration. The fact that the tumor mass was observed to shrink when the cells were administered one week after PDX transplantation indicates that the administration of the cells is useful for the purpose of tumor treatment. Furthermore, the fact that shrinkage was observed even when IFN-β-activated ADMPC was administered at the same time as PDX transplantation indicates the usefulness of administering the cells in the perioperative period.
