CAR gene delivery by T-cell targeted lentiviral vectors is enhanced by rapamycin induced reduction of antiviral mechanisms


ABSTRACT: Lentiviral vectors (LV) have become the dominant tool for stable gene transfer into lymphocytes including chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) gene delivery to T cells, a major breakthrough in cancer therapy. Yet, room for improvement remains, especially for the latest LV generations delivering genes selectively into T cell subtypes, a key requirement for in vivo CAR T cell generation. Towards improving gene transfer rates with these vectors, we conducted whole transcriptome analyses on human T lymphocytes after exposure to CAR-encoding conventional vector VSV-LV, and vectors targeted to CD8+ (CD8-LV) or CD4+ T cells (CD4-LV). Genes related to quiescence and antiviral restriction were found to be upregulated in CAR-negative cells exposed to all types of LVs. Down-modulation of various antiviral restriction factors including the interferon-induced transmembrane proteins (IFITMs) was achieved with rapamycin as verified by mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Strikingly, rapamycin enhanced transduction by up to 7-fold for CD8-LV and CD4-LV without compromising CAR T cell activities, but did not improve VSV-LV. When administered to humanized mice, CD8-LV resulted in higher rates of GFP gene delivery as well as faster in vivo CAR T cell generation and tumor control. The data favors multi-omics approaches for improvements in gene delivery.
