Dasatinib enhances anti-tumor efficacy of chimeric antigen receptor T cells by inhibiting cell differentiation and exhaustion

ABSTRACT: CD19-targeted Chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CART) cells have shown remarkable promise in various B cell malignancies. Sustained tonic signaling and antigen exposure drives CART cell differentiation and exhaustion, which limits the therapeutic potency and persistence of CART cells and is a major cause of CD19-expressing leukemia relapse after CD19-targeted CART cells treatment in ALL. Here, we systematically screened FDA approved tyrosine kinase inhibitors, and identified dasatinib as the best candidate to prevent or reverse both CD28/CART and 4-1BB/CART cells from differentiation and exhaustion during ex vivo expansion, which enhanced the therapeutic efficacy and in vivo persistence. Using RNA-seq, we identified the differentially expressed genes between dasatinib treated group and Nalm6 stimulated group, and found that memory-associated transcription factors TCF7 and naive/memory-associated cell surface marker CCR7 were upregulated, whereas exhaustion-related regulators (NR4A1, BATF3, ATF4 and FOS) and inhibitory receptors (PD1, LAG3) were down-regulated in dasatinib treated CAR T cells. Moreover, T cell activation associated signaling pathways (T cell receptor, Jak-STAT, MAPK and PI3K-Akt) which were upregulated in Nalm6 stimulated CART cells, showed fundamental downregulation in dasatinib treated CART cells. These findings imply that dasatinib played important roles in CART cell differentiation and exhaustion by inhibition of T cell activation pathways.

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.

UPenn CAR T cell Responders and Non-responders

Project description:<p>The adoptive transfer of autologous T cells genetically modified to express a CD19-specific, 4-1BB/CD3zeta-signaling chimeric antigen receptor (CAR; CTL019) has shown remarkable activity in patients with B acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Similar therapy can induce long-term remissions for relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients, but in only a small subset of subjects. The determinants of response and resistance to CTL019 therapy of CLL are not fully understood. We employed next generation sequencing of RNA (RNA-seq) to identify predictive indicators of response to CTL019 treatment. We performed RNA-seq on leukapheresis and manufactured infusion product T cells from patients with heavily pre-treated and high-risk disease. To characterize potency, we also performed RNA-seq on the cellular infusion product after CAR-specific stimulation. Our findings indicate that durable remission in CLL is associated with gene expression signatures of early memory T cell differentiation (e.g., STAT3), while T cells from poorly- or non-responding patients exhibited elevated expression of key regulators of late memory as well as effector T cell differentiation, apoptosis, aerobic glycolysis, hypoxia and exhaustion. These gene expression signatures, along with additional immunological biomarkers, may be used to identify which patients are most likely to respond to cellular therapies and suggest manufacturing modifications that might potentiate the generation of maximally efficacious infusion products.</p>

mRNA profiling on CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor T (CART19) cells with and without platelet-poor plasma from untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients (CLL-derived extracellular vesicles)

Project description:Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy has yielded unprecedented outcomes in some patients with hematological malignancies; however, inhibition by the tumor microenvironment has prevented the broader success of CART cell therapy. We used chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) as a model to investigate the interactions between the tumor microenvironment and CART cells. CLL is characterized by an immunosuppressive microenvironment, an abundance of systemic extracellular vesicles (EVs), and a relatively lower durable response rate to CART cell therapy. In this study, we characterized plasma EVs from untreated CLL patients and identified their leukemic cell origin. CLL-derived EVs were able to induce a state of CART cell dysfunction characterized by phenotypical, functional, and transcriptional changes of exhaustion. We demonstrate that, specifically, PD-L1+ CLL-derived EVs induce CART cell exhaustion. In conclusion, we identify an important mechanism of CART cell exhaustion induced by EVs from CLL patients.

Characteristics of premanufacture CD8+T cells determine CAR-T efficacy in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma

Project description:In this study, 58 r/r DLBCL patients treated with tandem CD19/CD20 CAR T cells. Twenty-seven patients had durational responses for more than 24 months, and the median PFS was 21.7 months. But 15 patients still did not have an objective response, and 11 patients relapsed within 1 year. The analysis found that CD8+TSCM cells with higher frequency and stronger activation ability in CART products were the key to achieving clinical sustained objective response. Bulk-RNA-seq results confirmed that CD8+CART cells in CR group had higher expression of memory-related genes and transcription factors and lower expression of activation/depletion related genes than those in PD patients. Naive CD8 cells also showed similar differential expression in apheresis. The use of Naive cells as the source cell population for CART preparation could partially improve CART function, but could not completely reverse it. It is suggested that the resistance of DLBCL to tandem CD19/CD20 CAR T cell therapy may be caused by the decreased function and the loss of expression of memory genes of the source Naive T cells.

Single residue in CD28-costimulated CAR-T cells limits long-term persistence and antitumor durability

Project description:Chimeric antigen receptor–T (CAR-T) cell therapies can eliminate relapsed and refractory tumors, but the durability of antitumor activity requires in vivo persistence. Differential signaling through the CAR costimulatory domain can alter the T cell metabolism, memory differentiation, and influence long-term persistence. CAR-T cells costimulated with 4-1BB or ICOS persist in xenograft models but those constructed with CD28 exhibit rapid clearance. Here, we show that a single amino acid residue in CD28 drove T cell exhaustion and hindered the persistence of CD28-based CAR-T cells and changing this asparagine to phenylalanine (CD28-YMFM) promoted durable antitumor control. In addition, CD28-YMFM CAR-T cells exhibited reduced T cell differentiation and exhaustion as well as increased skewing toward Th17 cells. Reciprocal modification of ICOS-containing CAR-T cells abolished in vivo persistence and antitumor activity. This finding suggests modifications to the costimulatory domains of CAR-T cells can enable longer persistence and thereby improve antitumor response.

Mutations and RNA-binding proteins controlling CD19 splicing and CART-19 therapy resistance: PTBP1 iCLIP2 in NALM-6 cells

Project description:We developed a massively parallel reporter assay to determine the splicing effects of all mutations in the region comprising CD19 exons 1-3. Despite the great success of CART-19 (chimeric antigen receptor-armed autologous T-cells) immunotherapy to treat B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (B-ALL), many patients relapse due to loss of the targeted CD19 epitope. Since epitope loss can be caused by CD19 exon 2 mis-splicing, we set out to learn the regulatory code that controls CD19 alternative splicing.

Retention of CD19 intron 2 contributes to CART-19 resistance in leukemias with subclonal frameshift mutations in CD19

Project description:We report that retention of intron 2 which affects expression of CD19 in CART-19 relapsed leukemia occurs in the context of full length CD19 transcript using Oxford Nanopore sequencing technology. By performing Direct RNA sequencing on Reh leukemia cell lines, we showed that intron 2 retention is functionally equivalent to nonsense mutations.
