Immunogenetic metabolomics revealed key enzymes that modulate CAR-T metabolism and function [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Immune evasion is a critical step of cancer progression that remains a major obstacle for current T cell-based immunotherapies. Hence, we seek to genetically reprogram T cells to exploit a common tumor-intrinsic evasion mechanism, whereby cancer cells suppress T cell function by generating a metabolically unfavorable tumor microenvironment (TME). Specifically, we use an in silico screen to identify ADA and PDK1 as metabolic regulators, in which gene overexpression (OE) enhances the cytolysis of CD19-specific CD8 CAR-T cells against cognate leukemia cells, and conversely, ADA or PDK1 deficiency dampens such effect. Additionally, ADA-OE in CAR-T cells improves cancer cytolysis under high concentrations of adenosine, the ADA substrate and an immunosuppressive metabolite in the TME. High-throughput transcriptomics and metabolomics in these CAR-Ts reveal alterations of global gene expression and metabolic signatures in both ADA- and PDK1- engineered CAR-T cells. Functional and immunological analyses demonstrate that ADA-OE increases proliferation and decreases exhaustion in α-CD19 and α-HER2 CAR-T cells. We then show ADA-OE improves tumor infiltration and clearance by α-HER2 CD4 and CD8 CAR-T with an in vivo colorectal cancer model. Collectively, these data unveil systematic knowledge of metabolic reprogramming directly in CAR-T cells, and reveal potential targets for improving CAR-T based cell therapy.

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.

CAR T cells inhibit B cell activating phosphorylation in their targets

Project description:Adoptive cell therapy, a subset of cancer immunotherapy, is collection of therapeutic approaches which aim to redirect the immune system by reprogramming patient T-cells to target antigenic molecules differentially and specifically expressed in certain cancers. One promising immunotherapy technique is CAR T-cell therapy, where cancer cells are targeted through the expression a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR), a synthetic trans- membrane receptor that functionally compensates for the T-cell receptor (TCR) but targets a tumor associated antigen on the cancer cell surface. While CAR T-cell therapy is promising with two clinically approved second-generation CARs (Kymriah and Yescarta), few studies have investigated the mechanism of signal propagation in T-cells and no studies have investigated the potential signaling response in the target cells. To gain further insight to CAR-based signaling, we stimulated third generation CD19 CAR-expressing Jurkat T-cells by co-culture with SILAC labeled CD19HI Raji B-cells and used two phosphoenrichment strategies coupled with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spec- trometry (LC-MS/MS) to detect and analyze global phosphorylation changes in both cell populations. Analysis of the phosphopeptides originating from the CD19-CAR T cells revealed an increase in many phosphorylation events necessary for canonical TCR signaling. We also observed for the first time a significant decrease in B-cell receptor- related phosphopeptide abundance in CD19HI Raji B-cells after co-culture with CD19-targetted CAR T-cells.

An Informatic Approach to Chimeric Antigen Receptor Discovery Integrates Proteomics and Transcriptomics to Identify Novel Combinatorial Pairs

Project description:Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) therapy targeting CD19 yielded remarkable outcomes in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. To identify potential CAR targets in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), we probed the AML surfaceome for over-expressed molecules with potentially tolerable systemic expression. We integrated large transcriptomics and proteomics data sets from malignant and normal tissues, and developed an algorithm to identify potential targets expressed in leukemia stem cells, but not in normal CD34+CD38– hematopoietic cells, T cells or vital tissues. As these investigations did not uncover candidate targets with a profile as favorable as CD19, we developed a generalizable combinatorial targeting strategy fulfilling stringent efficacy and safety criteria. Our findings indicate that several target pairings hold great promise for CAR therapy of AML.

Regulatory programs of B-cell activation and germinal center reaction allow for B-ALL escape from CD19 CAR T-cell therapy

Project description:CAR T-cell therapy has led to tremendous successes in the treatment of B-cell malignancies. However, 30%-50% of treated patients relapse – often with reduced target antigen expression. We report that anti-CD19 CAR T-cells cause a rapid reduction of CD19 expression within hours in CAR-T exposed CD19+ B-ALL cells. Initially, anti-CD19 CAR T-cells cause CD19 clusters at the T-cell – leukemia cell interface followed by CD19 internalization and decreased CD19 surface expression. Subsequently, CD19 expression is repressed by transcriptional rewiring. Using single-cell RNA-seq and single-cell ATAC-seq we demonstrate that a subset of CD19low cells that are refractory to CAR T-cell killing employ transcriptional programs of physiological B-cell activation and germinal center reaction in order to sustain decreased CD19 expression. Inhibiting B-cell activation programs with the BTK inhibitor ibrutinib increased the cytotoxic efficacy of anti-CD19 CAR T-cells without effecting CAR T-cell viability. These results demonstrate transcriptional plasticity as an underlying mechanism of CAR T-resistance and highlight the importance of combining CAR T-cell therapy with targeted therapies that aim to overcome this plasticity.

An immunoproteomic approach to characterize the CAR interactome and signalosome

Project description:Adoptive transfer of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells is expected to become the first line of treatment for multiple malignancies, following the enormous success of anti-CD19 therapies. However, their mechanism of action is not fully understood, and clear guidelines for the design of safe and efficient receptors are missing. We hereby describe a systematic analysis of the CAR “signalosome” in human primary T cells. Two CAR designs were compared: a second-generation (PSCA2) and a third-generation (PSCA3) anti-PSCA CAR. Phosphorylation events triggered by CAR-mediated recognition of target cells were quantified by mass spectrometry.

Inosine Induces Stemness Features in HA-CAR-T cells and Enhances Potency [RNA-seq]

Project description:Adenosine (Ado) mediates immune suppression in the tumor microenvironment and exhausted CD8+ HA-CAR-T cells commonly express CD39 and CD73, which mediate proximal steps in Ado generation. Here we sought to enhance HA-CAR-T cell potency by knocking out CD39, CD73 or adenosine receptor 2a (A2aR), but observed only modest effects. In contrast, overexpression of Ado deaminase (ADA-OE), which metabolizes Ado to inosine (INO), induced stemness features and potently enhanced HA-CAR-T functionality. Similarly, and to a greater extent, exposure of HA-CAR-T cells to INO augmented HA-CAR-T cell function and induced hallmark features of T cell stemness. INO induced profound metabolic reprogramming, diminishing glycolysis and increasing oxidative phosphorylation, glutaminolysis and polyamine synthesis, and reprogrammed the epigenome toward greater stemness. Clinical scale manufacturing using INO generated enhanced potency HA-CAR-T cell products meeting criteria for clinical dosing. These results identify INO as a potent modulator of T cell metabolism and epigenetic stemness programming and deliver a new enhanced potency platform for immune cell manufacturing.

Inactivation of interferon signaling promotes the establishment of an immunosuppressive microenvironment in colorectal cancers

Project description:Tumors arise and grow despite anti-cancer immune responses. These responses can be stimulated by immunotherapies such as immune checkpoint inhibitors (e.g. anti-PD1 antibodies) and chimeric antigen receptors (CAR). Efficacy of these agents in solid tumors including colorectal cancers (CRC) is limited by immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) that prevents killing of malignant cells by cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). Understanding the nature of TME-generated immunosuppression is of paramount importance. Here we report that TME elicited immunosuppression via eliminating activated CTL; this elimination required TME stress-induced downregulation of the IFNAR1 chain of type I interferon (IFN) receptor and attenuation of its signaling. Downregulation of IFNAR1 was observed in human colorectal cancers (CRC) and in mouse CRC models where it was required for efficient tumor development and progression. Stabilization of IFNAR1 on CTL improved their survival and increased anti- tumor activities of CAR T cells and PD1 inhibitors thereby providing a rationale for targeting IFNAR1 degradation for immunotherapies optimization. Two genotypes of mice were examined either 9 or 21 days post injection of MC38 colon cancer cells or MC38mRFP cells, respectively. 2-3 replicate mice were analyzed on separate arrays for each condition. 6 conditions in total were analyzed.
