Latent human herpesvirus 6 is reactivated in chimeric antigen receptor T cells

ABSTRACT: Cell therapies have yielded durable clinical benefits for patients with cancer but have been accompanied by unexpected side effects of treatment, including neurotoxicity. Currently, we lack a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms of toxicity observed in patients receiving cell therapies, including encephalitis caused by human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) that has been repeatedly reported. Here, via comprehensive viral RNA data mining, we examine the landscape of human latent viral reactivation, revealing that HHV-6B can become reactivated in human CD4+ T cells in standard in vitro cultures. Using single-cell sequencing, we identify a rare population of HHV-6 'super-expressors' (~1 in 360-10,000 cells) that possess high viral transcriptional activity in chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell culture before spreading rapidly to infect other cells in vitro. Through the reanalysis of single-cell sequencing data from FDA-approved cell therapy products, we identify the presence of CAR+, HHV-6 super-expressor T cells in human patients in vivo. Together, our study implicates cell therapy products as the source of lytic HHV-6 repeatedly reported in clinical trialsand has broad implications for the design, screening, and interpretation of unexpected toxicities in cell therapies.

Comprehensive Annotations of Human Herpesvirus 6A and 6B Genomes Reveals Novel and Conserved Genomic Features

Project description:Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) A and B are highly ubiquitous betaherpesviruses, infecting the majority of the human population. Like other herpesviruses, our understanding of their protein coding potential is far from complete. Here we use ribosome profiling and RNA-seq to experimentally define the HHV-6 translation products and to follow their temporal expression. We identified hundreds of new open reading frames (ORF)s, including many upstream ORFs (uORF)s and internal ORFs (iORF)s, generating a complete atlas of HHV-6 translation products. Integrating data from human cytomegalovirus we uncover numerous uORFs and iORFs that are conserved between beta herpesviruses and we show uORFs are specifically enriched in late viral genes. We also identified three highly abundant viral long non coding RNAs (lncRNA)s and we show one of these lncRNAs generate a non-polyadenylated stable intron that is conserved between all sequenced beta herpesviruses. Overall, this work uncovers the full complexity of the HHV-6 family genomes and highlights novel features that are conserved between beta herpesviruses, providing a resource for future functional studies.

Small RNA deep-sequencing identifies microRNAs and other small non-coding RNAs from human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6B)

Project description:Roseolovirus, or human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) is a ubiquitous human pathogen infecting over 95% of the population by the age of two years. As with other herpesviruses, reactivation of HHV-6 can present with severe complications in immunocompromised individuals. Recent studies have highlighted the importance of herpesvirus-derived micro (mi)RNAs in modulating both cellular and viral gene expression. An initial report, which computed the likelihood of various viruses to encode for miRNAs, did not predict HHV-6 miRNAs. To experimentally screen for small HHV-6 encoded RNAs, we conducted large-scale sequencing of Sup-T-1 cells lytically infected with a laboratory strain of HHV-6B. This revealed an abundant 60-65 nucleotide RNA of unknown function derived from the lytic origin of replication (OriLyt) that gave rise to smaller RNA species of 18-19 nucleotides in length. In addition, we identified four pre-miRNAs, whose mature forms accumulated in Argonaute 2. In contrast to other beta-herpesviruses, HHV-6B miRNAs are expressed from direct repeat regions (DRL and DRR) located at either side of the genome. All miRNAs are conserved in the closely related HHV-6A variant, and one of them is a seed ortholog of the human miR-582-5p. Similar to alpha-herpesvirus miRNAs, they are expressed antisense to immediate early ORFs and thus have the potential to regulate key viral regulators.

Single-cell sequencing of infusion products and T cells after administration of non-viral PD1-targeted anti-CD19 CAR T cells

Project description:We successfully developed a two-in-one approach to generate non-viral genome specific targeted CAR T cells through CRISPR/Cas9. In the adoptive therapy for relapsed/refractory aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, we observed durable responses without serious adverse events and complete remission in patients treated with PD1 knockin CAR T cells. Here we applied single-cell sequencing to analyze the characteristcis of infusion products and T cells after administration.

Allogenic and Autologous anti-CD7 CAR-T cell Therapies in Relapsed or Refractory T-Cell Malignancies

Project description:Chimeric antigen receptor-T (CAR-T) therapy remains to be investigated in T-cell malignancies. CD7 is an ideal target for T-cell malignancies but is also expressed on normal T cells, which may cause CAR-T cell fratricide. Donor-derived anti-CD7 CAR-T cells using endoplasmic reticulum retention have shown efficacy in patients with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Here we launched a phase I trial to explore differences between autologous and allogeneic anti-CD7 CAR-T therapies in T-cell ALL and lymphoma. Ten patients were treated and 5 received autologous CAR-T therapies. No dose-limiting toxicity or neurotoxicity was observed. Grade 1-2 cytokine release syndrome occurred in 7 patients, and grade 3 in 1 patient. Grade 1-2 graft-versus-host diseases were observed in 2 patients. Seven patients had bone marrow infiltration, and 100% of them achieved complete remission with negative minimal residual disease within one month. Two-fifths of patients achieved extramedullary or extranodular remission. The median follow-up was 6 (range, 2.7- 14) months and bridging transplantation was not administrated. Patients treated with allogeneic CAR-T cells had higher remission rate, less recurrence and more durable CAR-T survival than those receiving autologous products. Allogeneic CAR-T cells appeared to be a better option for patients with T-cell malignancies.

Reactivation of Human Herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) in Diverticulitis

Project description:Background: Diverticular disease is a significant healthcare burden in the United States. Younger diverticulitis patients are at increased risk for recurrence. How the molecular pathophysiology differs from those that develop disease at an older age is not understood. We aimed to profile the colonic transcriptome from younger versus older diverticulitis patients to identify differential biological pathways contributing to disease. Methods: We performed RNA-seq on full-thickness sigmoid colon tissue obtained at the time of surgery on diverticulitis patients (n=26) diagnosed at a younger age (<42 years old) or at an older age (>65 years old). Viral reads were identified from the RNA-seq dataset and associated with clinical metadata and the host transcriptome. HHV-6 positivity was evaluated in diverticulitis patients by PCR and immunofluorescence. Patient sera was profiled for HHV-6 using qPCR and ELISA to detect anti-HHV-6 antibodies. Results: Using RNA-seq, diverticulitis patients were profiled for differential expression associated with age of diagnosis. A subset of younger diverticulitis patients (diverticulitis colonic transcriptome-viral signature (DCT-VS)) demonstrated increased expression of anti-viral response genes. We identified viral transcripts in the RNA-seq dataset and found HHV-6 transcripts negatively correlated with DCT-VS. Younger patients more frequently displayed evidence of HHV-6 infection through DNA analysis and immunofluorescence of colonic tissue. During acute disease, HHV-6 DNA was detected in the serum but was absent during disease quiescence. Conclusions: Patients diagnosed with diverticulitis at a younger age demonstrate reactivation of HHV-6 in the sigmoid colon that remains persistent. Future studies to assess the role of pathogenicity and the use of anti-virals for acute uncomplicated diverticulitis should be considered.

Transcriptional profiling of HHV-6 infeceted T cells

Project description:The immune response to viral infection represents complex network of dynamic gene and protein interactions. We present here the dynamic gene network of host immune response during human herpesvirus type 6 (HHV-6) infection in a adult T cell leukemia (ATL) cell line. Using a pathway-focused oligonucleotide DNA microarray, we found a possible association between chemokines genes regulating Th1/Th2 balance and genes regulating T-cell proliferation during HHV-6B infection.

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>

Transcriptomics of small RNAs upon HHV-6A reactivation

Project description:In order to understand the effect of HHV-6A reactivation on host cell, U2-OS bone osteosarcoma cells were generated carrying latent HHV-6A genome. These cells were either treated with DMSO (solvent control) or Trichostatin-A (TSA) for viral reactivation. As a control cells carrying no HHV-6A were used and treated similarly. Two biological replicates of each sample were processed for small RNA transcriptomics (small RNAseq). Furthermore, HeLa (cervical epithelial cells) were generated carrying lentiviral insertions of one of the small non-coding RNA from HHV-6A (sncRNA-U14). These cells could be transiently induced for sncRNA-U14 transcription using Doxycycline. HeLa cells having a mock lentiviral backbone was used as a control and was treated similarly. Two biological replicates of each sample were processed for small RNA transcriptomics (small RNAseq).

Chaudhury2020 - Lotka-Volterra mathematical model of CAR-T cell and tumour kinetics

Project description:This ordinary differential equation model of the cellular kinetics and pharmacodynamics of CAR-T cell therapy is described in the publication: Chaudhury, A., Zhu, X., Chu, L., Goliaei, A., June, C., Kearns, J. and Stein, A., 2020. Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cell Therapies: A Review of Cellular Kinetic‐Pharmacodynamic Modeling Approaches. The Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, 60(S1). DOI: 10.1002/jcph.1691 Comment: This model is based on equations 4-5 from the manuscript. Abstract: Chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T cell) therapies have shown significant efficacy in CD19+ leukemias and lymphomas. There remain many challenges and questions for improving next-generation CAR-T cell therapies, and mathematical modeling of CAR-T cells may play a role in supporting further development. In this review, we introduce a mathematical modeling taxonomy for a set of relatively simple cellular kinetic-pharmacodynamic models that describe the in vivo dynamics of CAR-T cell and their interactions with cancer cells. We then discuss potential extensions of this model to include target binding, tumor distribution, cytokine-release syndrome, immunophenotype differentiation, and genotypic heterogeneity.
