The enhanced functionality of low-affinity CD19 CAR T cells is associated with activation priming and a polyfunctional cytokine phenotype


ABSTRACT: We have compared a low-affinity second-generation anti-CD19 CAR (CAT) with the high-affinity FMC63 CAR used in tisagenlecleucel to understand the unknown molecular mechanisms that drive different CAR T cell treatment outcomes. CAT cells are characterized by a faster antigen dissociation rate and present an enhanced in vivo expansion and anti-tumor efficacy, showing lower toxicity to patients and a long-term persistence in a Phase I clinical study. To understand this improved CAT cells behaviour, we performed a systematic in vitro characterization of the transcriptomic (RNA-seq) and protein (CyTOF) changes between the two groups. The analysis focused on T cells expressing low-affinity vs high-affinity anti-CD19 CARs following stimulation with CD19-expressing cells. Our results show that CAT potent and long-term anti-tumour responses may be sustained by the establishment of a CAR T cells self-reinforcing circuit activated through cytokines polyfunctional crosstalk. This study may inform the design of versatile CAR T cells, capable of balancing safety and efficacy.
