Project description:CAR-T cell therapy against MM currently shows promising results, but usually with serious toxicities. CAR-NK cells may exert less toxicity when redirected against resistant myeloma cells. CARs can be designed through the use of receptors, such as NKG2D, which recognizes a wide range of ligands to provide broad target specificity. Here, we test this approach by analyzing the anti-tumor activity of activated and expanded NK cells (NKAE) and CD45RA- T cells from MM patients that were engineered to express an NKG2D-based CAR. NKAE cells were cultured with irradiated Clone9.mbIL21 cells. Then, cells were transduced with an NKG2D-4-1BB-CD3z-CAR. CAR-NKAE cells exhibited no evidence of genetic abnormalities. Although memory T cells were more stably transduced, CAR-NKAE cells exhibited greater in vitro cytotoxicity against MM cells, while showing minimal activity against healthy cells. In vivo, CAR-NKAE cells mediated highly efficient abrogation of MM growth, and two of the treated mice remained disease-free. Overall, these results demonstrate that it is feasible to modify autologous NKAE cells from MM patients to safely express a NKG2D-CAR. Additionally, autologous CAR-NKAE cells display enhanced anti-myeloma activity demonstrating that they could be an effective strategy against MM supporting the development of NKG2D-CAR NK cell therapy for MM.

Project description:The production of autologous T cells expressing a chimaeric antigen receptor (CAR) is time-consuming, costly and occasionally unsuccessful. T cell-derived induced pluripotent stem cells are a promising source for the generation of ‘off-the-shelf’ CAR T cells, but their in vitro differentiation often yields T cells with suboptimal features. Here we show that premature expression of the T cell receptor (TCR) or a constitutively expressed CAR promote the acquisition of an innate phenotype, which can be averted by disabling the TCR and relying on the CAR to drive T cell differentiation. Delaying CAR expression and calibrating its signalling strength enabled the generation of human CD8αβ+ TCR– CAR+ T cells that perform overall similarly to peripheral blood CD8αβ+ CAR+ T cells in achieving effective tumour control upon systemic administration in a mouse model of leukaemia, without causing graft-versus-host disease. Driving T cell maturation in the absence of a TCR by taking advantage of a CAR may facilitate the large-scale development of potent allogeneic CD8αβ+ T cells for a broad range of immunotherapies. TRAC-1XX-iT cell generation: TiPS were differentiated to the DP T cell stage, and matured to CD8ab SP cells on 3T3-CD19-41BBL. CD8ab SP cells were purified by flow cytometry. Peripheral Blood Mononuclear cells were purified from healthy donor whole blood. CD4 and CD8 T cells were targeted with CD19-28z-1XX CAR into the TRAC locus, NK and gdT cells were retrovirally transduced to express the CD19-28z-1XX CAR. Cells were purified for CAR expression by flow cytometry.

Project description:To expedite immunotherapy development, better analysis of treatment efficacy at early in vitro stages is needed. Using a droplet-based microfluidic platform, we have established a method for multi-parameter quantifiable phenotypic and genomic observations of immunotherapies. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) NK cells provide treatment of interest in the current immunotherapy landscape and provide an optimal model for evaluating our novel methodology. For this approach, NK cells transduced with a CD19 CAR were compared to non-transduced NK cells in their ability to kill a lymphoma cell line. Using our novel single-cell droplet array platform, we quantified the increase in cytotoxicity and synaptic contact formation of CAR-NK cells over non-transduced NK cells. With our droplet sorter, we separated NK cells based on target cell killing for transcriptomic sequencing. Our data revealed expected improvement in cytotoxicity with the CD19 CAR but more importantly, provided unique insights into the factors involved in the cytotoxic mechanisms of CAR NK cells. This demonstrates a novel, improved system for immunotherapy screening.

Project description:Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) engineering of NK cells is an active area of research with early-phase clinical studies showing an excellent safety profile with encouraging clinical responses. However, the transcriptional signatures that control the fate of CAR-NK cell after infusion and their association with tumor control remain poorly understood. Here, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to depict the evolution of various engineered CAR-NK cells from the ex vivo infusion products to the in vivo peak phase of tumor control and finally to the relapse phase. Single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA) has revolutionized high-thoughout systems-based analysis of cellular and functional heterogeneity, and dynamic changes in the immune response during the anti-tumor immune cell therapy . The goals of this work are to compare transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) from both engrafted tumor cells and infused CAR-NK cells over time of treatment course to evaluate the kenetic of tumor cell response and effector functional change of CAR-NK cell. Our study represents the first detailed transcriptomic analysis of using CAR-NK cell therapy aganist Raji-engrafted mouse model. Collecting samples from different time points and organs, the data analysis reported here should privide an envision of the dynamic about how tumor response to immune cell therapy of using CAR-NK cells and also how immune effector fucntion of CAR-NK cell was modulated over time during the treatment courses.

Project description:NPM1 is the most frequently mutated gene in cytogenetically normal acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In AML cells, NPM1 mutations result in abnormal cytoplasmic localization of the mutant protein (NPM1c). NPM1 mutations are founding genetic lesions, however it is unknown whether NPM1c is required to maintain the leukemic state. Here, we show that loss of NPM1c from the cytoplasm, either through nuclear relocalization or targeted degradation, results in downregulation of homeobox (HOX) genes, and differentiation and cell growth arrest of AML cells. Additionally, we show that HOX downregulation is the earliest transcriptional event following the loss of NPM1c from the cytoplasm, preceding and promoting differentiation. Finally, we show that XPO1 inhibition efficiently relocalizes NPM1c to the nucleus, enables differentiation and prolongs survival of Npm1c+ leukemic mice. We describe an exquisite dependency of NPM1-mutant AML cells on NPM1c, providing the rationale for the use of nuclear export inhibitors in AML with mutated NPM1.

Project description:Natural killer (NK) cells are an attractive therapeutic approach as alternative chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) carriers and unlike T cells, offer their use in allogeneic settings. The translation of NK cells into the clinic is still hampered by the inability of CAR-NK cells to expand in vitro and in vivo. Adoptive transfer of CAR-NK cells holds the promise of therapeutic benefit with a lower rate of adverse events due to the absence of GvHD and cytokine release syndrome. However, adoptive transfer of CAR-NK cells has not yet achieved breakthrough clinical results, and further improvement of CAR-NK cells is necessary. Here, we demonstrated that a fourth-generation CD19-targeted CAR (CAR.19) co-expressing IL-15 linked to its receptor IL-15/IL-15Rα (CAR.19-IL-15/IL-15Rα) significantly enhanced NK-92 cell proliferation, proinflammatory cytokine secretion, and cytotoxic activity against B-cell cancer cell lines in vitro and in a xenograft mouse model. Surprisingly, CAR construct comprising the IL-15/IL-15Rα was superior to CAR co-expressing the soluble form of IL-15 in terms of sustained proliferation, viability, but importantly also in their ability to control CD19+ B-cell lymphoma in a murine xenograft model. Together with the results of the systematic analysis of the transcriptome of activated NK-92 CAR variants, this supports the notion that IL-15/IL-15Rα comprising fourth-generation CARs may overcome the limitations of NK cell-based targeted tumor therapies in vivo by providing the necessary growth and activation signals
