CAR-adapted PIK3CD base editing enhances T cell anti-tumor potency

ABSTRACT: Insufficient functional T cell persistence impedes therapeutic success of chimeric antigen receptor (“CAR”) therapies. Here, we performed a CAR-adapted base editing screen of PIK3CD, a key regulator of T cell function, metabolism, and fate. We identified point mutations that beneficially modulate CAR T cell profiles in 4-1BBz and 28z CAR T cells, respectively. Remarkably, point mutations with differing effects on PI3Kδ signaling activity were advantageous in distinct CAR contexts: The PI3Kδ-activating mutation E81K enhanced proliferation, metabolic fitness and effector function in 4-1BBz CARs, promoting long-term functional persistence and enhanced therapeutic efficacy in vivo. Conversely, the PI3Kδ-attenuating mutation L32P improved T cell memory formation and functionality in 28z CAR T cells. Together, our approach of Rational Optimization of Activation-dependent Signaling via Targeted Allelic Reprogramming (ROADSTAR) illustrates the importance of CAR design-specific fine-tuning of tailoring intrinsic T cell signaling and demonstrates the potential of base editing for next-generation cellular therapies. Raw data files not provided due to data sensitivity and privacy concerns.

Restoration of LAT activity improves CAR T-cell sensitivity and persistence in response to antigen-low acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Project description:Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cells induce responses in patients with relapsed/refractory leukemia; however, long-term efficacy is frequently limited by post-CAR relapses. The inability to target antigen-low cells is an intrinsic vulnerability of second-generation CAR T-cells and underlies the majority of relapses following CD22BBz CAR T-cell therapy. We interrogated CD22BBz CAR signaling in response to low antigen and found inefficient phosphorylation of LAT, limiting downstream signaling. To overcome this, we designed the Adjunctive LAT-Activating CAR T-cell (ALA-CART) platform, pairing a second-generation CAR with a LAT-CAR incorporating the intracellular domain of LAT. ALA-CART cells demonstrated reduced differentiation during manufacturing and increased LAT phosphorylation, MAPK signaling and AP-1 activity. Consequently, ALA-CART cells showed improved cytotoxicity, proliferation, persistence and efficacy against antigen-low leukemias that were refractory to clinically-active CD22BBz CAR T-cells. These data suggest restoration of LAT signaling through the ALA-CART platform represents a promising strategy for overcoming multiple mechanisms of CAR T-cell failure.

Transfer of antigen target into CAR T cells via trogocytosis

Project description:To characterize transfer of molecules from target cells into CAR T cells via trogocytosis we cultured NALM-6 leukemia cell line expressing a CD19-mCherry fusion protein with CAR T cells. NALM6-CD19-mCherry were loaded with heavy amino acid and cocultured with CAR T cells for 1 hour. CAR T cells were next sorted into two fractions, mCherry-positive (TrogPos), and -negative (TrogNeg). Proteomics analysis revealed the presence of targeted antigen (CD19) in the TrogPos only.

Generation of clinical grade CD19-specific CAR-modified CD8+ memory stem cells for the treatment of B-cell malignancies

Project description:Long-lived, self-renewing, multipotent T memory stem cells (TSCM) can trigger profound and sustained tumor regression but their rareness poses a major hurdle to their clinical application. Presently, clinically compliant procedures to generate relevant numbers of this T cell population are undefined. Here, we provide a strategy for deriving large numbers of clinical grade tumor-redirected TSCM cells starting from naÃ¯ve precursors. CD8+CD62L+CD45RA+ naÃ¯ve T cells enriched by streptamer-based serial positive selection were activated by CD3/CD28 engagement in the presence of IL-7, IL-21 and the glycogen synthase-3Î² inhibitor TWS119, and genetically engineered to express a CD19-specific chimeric antigen receptor (CD19-CAR). These conditions allowed for the generation of CD19-CAR modified TSCM cells that were phenotypically, functionally and transcriptomically equivalent to their naturally occurring counterpart. Compared with T cell products currently under clinical investigation, CD19-CAR modified TSCM cells exhibit enhanced metabolic fitness, persistence and anti-tumor activity against systemic acute lymphoblastic leukemia xenografts. Based on these findings, we have initiated a phase 1 clinical study to evaluate the activity of CD19-CAR modified TSCM in patients with B-cell malignancies refractory to prior allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Three healthy human blood donors provided lymphocyte-enriched apheresis blood for this study after informed consent. From all samples, total RNA was isolated using an miRNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen), processed by Ambionâ??s WT expression kit, fragmented and labeled with a WT Terminal Labeling Kit (Affymetrix), hybridized to WT Human Gene 1.0 ST arrays (Affymetrix) and stained on a Genechip Fluidics Station 450 (Affymetrix), all according to the respective manufacturer's instructions. Samples represent exon-level and gene-level analyses.

Transcriptomic profiling of NK-92, CAR NK-92, and NR3C1-knockout CAR NK-92 cells following co-culture with CEACAM5⁺ A549 lung cancer cells

Project description:CEACAM5-specific CAR NK-92 cells were engineered to target CEACAM5-expressing lung tumor cells. To study their transcriptional response during tumor engagement, parental NK-92 cells, CEACAM5-CAR NK-92 cells, hydrocortisone-treated CAR NK-92 cells, NR3C1-knockout (cortisol-resistant) CAR NK-92 cells, and hydrocortisone-treated NR3C1-knockout CAR NK-92 cells were co-cultured with CEACAM5⁺ A549 lung cancer cells for 16 hours. Following co-culture, NK-92–derived effector cells were isolated by flow cytometry and processed for bulk RNA sequencing. This dataset captures transcriptional programs associated with CAR activation, hydrocortisone exposure, and glucocorticoid receptor deficiency in NK-92–based effector cells responding to CEACAM5⁺ tumor targets.

Single cell RNA-seq analysis of bone marrow (BM) samples of patients with B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia treated with anti CD19 CAR T cells

Project description:Single-cell RNA sequencing of BM resident immune cells of patients undergoing CAR T-cell infusion and their Infusion Product (IP). Data in this study were generated from a patients enrolled in the FT01CARCIK Phase I/IIb clinical trial (NCT03389035) and two patients treated with autologous commercial CAR T cells (tisagenlecleucel). BM samples have been collected before CAR T treatment (pre) and at early time points (1-2 months) after treatment (post). CD45+CD3+ T cells, and CD45+/lowCD3-, encompassing the hematopoietic immune niche of the TME cells, have been separated by flow cytometry-based cell sorting and compared to cells of the corresponding patient’s BM before CAR T-cell treatment at the moment of relapse. In parallel, CAR T-cell infusion products (IP) have been sorted according to the surface CAR expression. Significance: This study highlights the critical role of the tumor microenvironment on CAR T-cell fate and endogenous immunity in B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. We demonstrate that IFN response, hypoxia, and TGF-b signaling lead to general immune suppression, resulting in endogenous T-cell exhaustion and compromising CAR T-cell efficacy

Phosphoproteomic analysis of successive Jurkat CD19-CAR generations reveals TCRζ-driven signalling

Project description:Although chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy has revolutionised individualised cancer therapies for relapsed/refractory lymphomas, low long-term retention due to basal signalling (antigen-independent activation in the absence of cognate antigen) and off-target toxicity limit the broad applicability of CAR-T products. During CAR development, researchers use model systems, like Jurkat T cells (Jurkats), to screen intracellular signalling arrangements based on their ability to activate (e.g., CD69 expression) and withstand repeated antigen encounters. Although Jurkats are standard for CAR screening, the mapping of CAR generations to Jurkat-specific pTyr networks relative to key TCR nodes and CD69 readouts is not well defined, blurring how hierarchical signalling drives activation. Here, we investigated how costimulation influenced tyrosine phosphorylation cascades using LC-MS/MS based phosphotyrosine (pY) proteomics and CD69 expression in the presence of small molecule inhibitors of key TCR signalling regulators. We found that including TCRζ (CD3ζ; gene CD247) in first (ζ-CAR), second (28ζ-CAR and BBζ-CAR), and third (28BBζ-CAR) generation CARs largely determined pY signalling, irrespective of costimulation. Further, we showed that the phosphatase activity of PTPN22 and SHP-1 were largely negligible for activation of CARs, but indiscriminate inhibition of phosphatases using pervanadate (PV) selectively activated BBζ-CARs without antigen encounter. Finally, we found that selective, partial inhibition of Itk using Soquelitinib reduced basal CD69 expression in CAR-Jurkat cells while maintaining their ability to activate in response to antigen. These data suggest that TCRζ determines the pY signalling profile and that Itk drives basal activation of CD19-CAR Jurkats, which may impact evaluation of new CAR designs in CAR-Jurkat screens.

Transcriptomic profiling of CAR-NK and NR3C1-knockout CAR-NK cells exposed to hydrocortisone and hypoxia-mimicking conditions

Project description:Steroids enriched within the lung tumor microenvironment suppress the cytotoxic activity of tumor-infiltrating NK cells and intensify hypoxic stress. To model these conditions in vitro, CEACAM5-specific CAR-NK cells and NR3C1-knockout CAR-NK cells were exposed to hydrocortisone (1 µM), hypoxia-mimicking CoCl₂ (100 µM), or their combination. NK cells were treated for 24 hours, followed by a 6-hour co-culture with A549 lung cancer cells to activate NK-cell effector programs. After co-culture, NK cells were isolated to high purity and subjected to bulk RNA sequencing to characterize transcriptional changes driven by steroid signalling, hypoxia, and glucocorticoid receptor deficiency. This dataset includes multiple treatment groups: untreated CAR-NK cells, hypoxia-treated CAR-NK cells, combined hypoxia + hydrocortisone–treated CAR-NK cells, and corresponding NR3C1-knockout CAR-NK cell groups under identical conditions.
