Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, the use of antibodies to target gene therapy is limited by some factors: (1) the effect of antibodies is only temporary blocking; (2) there are many kinds of inhibitory receptors, how to use multiple antibodies to block multiple inhibitory receptors at the same time There are no countermeasures for sex receptors; (3) It is not easy to develop effective antibodies; (4) Tumor mutations are diversified, and the inhibitory effect of antibodies is limited; (5) Only for extracellular targets; (6) Antibody drugs are expensive and many more

Embodiment 1

[0087] Example 1 Design and Synthesis of Targeted sgRNA for CRISPR-Cas9 / Cpf1-specific Knockout of Human LAG-3, TIM-3 or PD-1 Gene

[0088] 1. Design of Cas-sgRNA targeting human LAG-3, TIM-3 or PD-1 gene:

[0089] (1) Select the sequence of 5'-N(21)GG or 5'-N(21)AG on the LAG-3, TIM-3 or PD-1 gene.

[0090] (2) The targeting site or cleavage site of the sgRNA on the LAG-3, TIM-3 or PD-1 gene is located in the exon of the gene, which is more likely to cause the deletion of the fragment or the frame-shift mutation, thereby reaching the gene Completely inactivate the purpose.

[0091] (3) The targeting site or cleavage site of the sgRNA on the LAG-3, TIM-3 or PD-1 gene is located on the common exons of different cleavage forms.

[0092] (4) Use Blat in the UCSC database or BLAST in the NCBI database to determine whether the target sequence of the sgRNA is unique and reduce potential off-target sites.

[0093] According to the above method, the present invention designed a total ...

Abstract

The invention provides a sgRNA specifically targeted to a human TIM-3 gene and a method for specific knock-out of the TIM-3 gene in human cells based on a CRISPR system. In virtue of sgRNA provided bythe invention, the human TIM-3 gene can be accurately and effectively targeted and be precisely knocked out, so the sgRNA has the excellent characteristics of high efficiency, short period and low cost. The method can be used for preparing human T-cells in which TIM-3 immune check points are knocked out, and the prepared human T-cells can be applied to immunotherapy of tumors.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of genetic engineering, and relates to a method for gene editing of cells, especially T cells, using a CRISPR-Cas9 system, specifically a method for using CRISPR-Cas9 to specifically knock out the TIM-3 gene in human T cells. Background technique [0002] Immune checkpoints are a series of immunosuppressive molecules. Under normal circumstances, immune checkpoints play an important role in maintaining self-immune tolerance and preventing the immune system from attacking its own organs in the fight against pathogenic infections. Many cancers achieve immune evasion through the expression of immune checkpoint proteins. of. By blocking immune checkpoints, restoring the body's own anti-tumor immune response, and using the body's immune function to eliminate cancer cells in the body has always been the dream of oncologists and cancer patients. [0003] Currently, the two most important and most studied immune checkpoint m...
