Identification of genomic signatures in bone marrow associated with clinical response of CD19 CAR T-cell therapy.

ABSTRACT: CD19 CAR T-cell immunotherapy is a breakthrough treatment for B cell malignancies, but relapse and lack of response remain a challenge. The bone marrow microenvironment is a key factor in therapy resistance, however, little research has been reported concerning the relationship between transcriptomic profile of bone marrow prior to lymphodepleting preconditioning and clinical response following CD19 CAR T-cell therapy. Here, we applied comprehensive bioinformatic methods (PCA, GO, GSEA, GSVA, PAM-tools) to identify clinical CD19 CAR T-cell remission-related genomic signatures. In patients achieving a complete response (CR) transcriptomic profiles of bone marrow prior to lymphodepletion showed genes mainly involved in T cell activation. The bone marrow of CR patients also showed a higher ac
