Cooperative armoring of CAR and TCR T-cells by T cell-restricted IL-15 and IL-21 universally enhances solid tumor efficacy

ABSTRACT: Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) and T-cell receptor (TCR) T-cell therapies are effective in a subset of patients with solid tumors, but new approaches are needed to enhance efficacy and universally improve patient outcomes. IL-15 and IL-21 are common cytokine-receptor gamma chain family members with distinct, pleiotropic effects on T-cells and other lymphocytes. We found that self-delivery of these cytokines by CAR or TCR T-cells prevents functional exhaustion by repeated stimulation and limits the emergence of dysfunctional natural killer (NK)-like T-cells. Across different preclinical murine solid tumor models, we observe enhanced regression with each individual cytokine but the greatest anti-tumor efficacy when T-cells are armored with both. Thus, the co-expression of membrane-tethered IL-15 and IL-21 represents a technology to enhance the resilience and function of engineered T-cells against solid tumors and could be applicable to multiple therapy platforms and diseases.

c-Kit signaling potentiates CAR T-cell efficacy in solid tumors by CD28- and IL-2–independent costimulation

Project description:The limited efficacy of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy for solid tumors necessitates engineering strategies that promote functional persistence in an immunosuppressive environment. Herein, we exploit c-Kit signaling, a physiological pathway associated with stemness in hematopoietic progenitor cells (T cells lose expression of c-Kit during differentiation). CAR T cells with intracellular expression—but no cell-surface receptor expression—of the c-Kit D816V mutation (KITv) have upregulated STAT phosphorylation, antigen-activation-dependent proliferation, CD28- and IL-2–independent and IFN-γ–mediated costimulation, augmenting the cytotoxicity of first-generation CAR T cells. This translates to enhanced survival, including in TGF-β–rich and low-antigen-expressing solid tumor models. KITv CAR T cells have equivalent or better in vivo efficacy than second-generation CAR T cells and are susceptible to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (safety switch). When combined with CD28 costimulation, KITv costimulation functions as a third signal, enhancing efficacy and providing a potent approach to treat solid tumors.

Releasing the mitochondrial respiration brake MCJ/DnaJC15 enhances CD8 CAR-T cell therapy efficacy

Project description:Metabolism of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells is emerging as an important area to improve CAR-T cell therapy in cancer treatment. Mitochondrial respiration is essential for survival and function of CAR-T cells, but developing strategies to specifically enhance mitochondrial respiration has been challenging. Here we identify MCJ/DnaJC15, an endogenous negative regulator of mitochondrial Complex I, as a metabolic target to enhance mitochondrial respiration in CD8 CAR-T cells. Loss of MCJ in CD8 CAR-T cells increases their in vitro and in vivo efficacy against mouse B cell leukemias. MCJ deficiency in TCR- specific CD8 cells also increases their efficacy against solid tumors in vivo. Furthermore, we reveal that human CD8 cells express MCJ and that silencing MCJ expression increases mitochondrial metabolism and anti-tumor activity of human CAR-T cells. Thus, we demonstrate the unique therapeutic potential of targeting MCJ to enhance the metabolism and efficacy of adoptive T cell therapies.

Gene expression profiles of chimeric cytokine receptor-engineered CAR-T cells

Project description:The efficacy of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-engineered T cell therapy is suboptimal in most of the cancer types , necessitating further improvement in their therapeutic actions. However, enhancing antitumor T cell response inevitably confers an increased risk of cytokine release syndrome associated with monocyte-derived IL-6 secretion. Thus, a novel approach to simultaneously enhance therapeutic efficacy and safety is warranted. In this study, we developed a chimeric cytokine receptor composed of the extracellular domains of GP130 and IL6RA linked to the transmembrane and cytoplasmic domain of IL-7R mutant that constitutively activate JAK-STAT pathway (G6/7R). CAR-T cells with G6/7R efficiently absorbed and degraded monocyte-derived IL-6 both in vitro and in vivo. The G6/7R-expressing CAR-T cells showed superior expansion and persistence in vivo, which resulted in durable antitumor response in multple tumor models. Our strategy can be widely applicable to CAR-T cell therapy to enhance its efficacy and safety, irrespective of the target antigen.

Comparative analysis of T cell receptor and chimeric antigen receptor signaling in primary CD8+ T cells

Project description:Chimeric antigen receptor-modified (CAR) T cell therapy targeting highly expressed lineage antigens is effective for B cell malignancies. Achieving durable efficacy for hematological malignancies and extending this therapeutic approach to solid tumors will require T cell recognition and elimination of tumor cells that may express lower levels of the CAR target antigen. Realizing this goal is challenging because current approaches to CAR design are largely empiric and detailed information on CAR signaling is only beginning to emerge. Synthetic CARs typically require hundreds of molecules on the target cell to initiate signaling, whereas natural T cell receptors (TCRs) can recognize less than ten peptide-MHC (pMHC) antigen complexes. We reasoned that in depth comparison of TCR and CAR stimulation-induced signaling events in primary T cells might guide rationale adaptations to CAR design that would improve antigen sensitivity. Bi-specific T cells possessing an endogenous TCR and exogenous CAR of defined specificity were formulated from healthy HLA-B8+ Epstein-Barr virus-seropositive donors. Bi-specific T cells were stimulated with magnetic microbeads coated with recombinant TCR or CAR antigen for 10, 45, or 90 minutes. Some bi-specific T cells were also left unstimulated and harvested at each timepoint to serve as controls. Altogether, 9 unique conditions were tested in an experiment and three independent experiments were performed.

Gene expression profiles of CAR-T cells engineered with chimeric cytokine receptors to induce JAK-STAT signaling

Project description:The efficacy of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-engineered T cell therapy is insufficient in most cancers. However, enhancing the antitumor T cell response inevitably increases the risk of cytokine release syndrome associated with monocyte-derived IL-6 secretion. In this study, we developed a chimeric cytokine receptor consisting of the extracellular domains of GP130 and IL6RA linked to the transmembrane and cytoplasmic domain of IL-7R mutant (insertion of PPCL) (G6/7R). We also generated a modified receptor with the M452L mutation in the IL7R cytoplasmic domain (G6/7R-M452L). CAR-T cells with G6/7R or G6/7R-M452L efficiently absorbed monocyte-derived IL-6 and induced a superior therapeutic response compared to conventional CAR-T cells. Our strategy can be broadly applied to CAR-T cell therapy to enhance its efficacy and safety, irrespective of the target antigen.

Comparison of Transcriptional Profiles of T cells after Activation by TCR and Chimeric Antigen Receptors

Project description:Chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapies for B cell malignancies demonstrate high response rate and durable disease control. However, in the case of solid tumors, CAR-T cells have shown dysfunction ascribed to some intrinsic defects in CAR signaling. Here, we construct a multi-chain chimeric receptor, termed as Synthetic T Cell Receptor and Antigen Receptor (STAR), which incorporates antigen-recognition domain of antibody and engages entire CD3 signaling machinery of T cell receptor (TCR). In multiple solid tumor models, STAR-T cells prominently outperform CAR-T cells without notable toxicity. STAR triggers strong and sensitive TCR-like signaling upon antigen stimulation. We compared the transcriptional profiles of STAR/CAR/TCR-T cells after stimulation for different time points (0, 6, 24, 72 hours), in order to figure out whether signaling difference of these receptors led to distinct gene expression. Our results showd that STAR activation phencopied TCR, while CAR drove a different program, displayed as various pathways related to effector function, cytokine response and cell survival were altered.

iPSC-derived Trimodal T cells engineered with CAR, TCR, and hnCD16 modalities can overcome antigen escape in heterogenous tumors

Project description:Although chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells have demonstrated remarkable therapeutic activity in hematopoietic malignancies, antigen escape and tumor heterogeneity have in part impeded the durable efficacy of CAR T cells and their extension into successful solid tumor treatment. To address these challenges, induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) - derived T (iT) cells were specifically engineered to uniformly express both CAR and T cell receptors (TCR), enabling targeting of both surface and intracellular antigens, respectively, along with a high-affinity, non-cleavable variant of CD16a (hnCD16) to support antibody-dependent cell cytotoxicity (ADCC) when combined with therapeutic antibodies. Co-expression of each of these unique anti-tumor targeting strategies on engineered iT cells enabled independent and antigen-specific tumor cell killing across a diverse set of liquid and solid tumors. In heterogenous tumor models, coactivation of two or more of these effector modalities was required for measurable anti-tumor efficacy, with all three displaying maximal efficacy. These data highlight the therapeutic potential of an off-the-shelf engineered iPSC-derived Trimodal T cell expressing CAR, TCR, and hnCD16 to combat difficult to treat heterogeneous tumors.

Gene expression profiles of CD4-derived (CAR4) and CD8-derived (CAR8) chimeric antigen receptor T cells after stimulation through the CAR, TCR or both receptors

Project description:Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-expressing T-cells induce durable remissions in patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell malignancies. CARs are artificial constructs introduced into mature T-cells conferring a second, non-MHC restricted specificity in addition to the endogenous T-cell receptor (TCR). The impact of TCR activation on CAR T-cell efficacy in vivo has important implications for clinical optimization of CAR T-cell therapy, but cannot be systematically evaluated in xenograft models. Using an immunocompetent, syngeneic murine model of CD19-targeted CAR T-cell therapy for pre-B cell ALL, we demonstrate loss of CD8 CAR T-cell mediated clearance of leukemia associated with T-cell exhaustion and apoptosis when TCR antigen is present. CD4 CAR T-cells demonstrate equivalent cytotoxicity, as compared to CD8 CAR T-cells, and in contrast, retain in vivo efficacy in the presence of TCR stimulation. Gene expression profiles confirm increased exhaustion and apoptosis of CAR8 upon dual receptor stimulation compared to CAR4, and indicate inherent differences in T-cell pathways. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells express two activating receptors, the CAR and the endogenous T cell receptor (TCR). CAR T cells can be derived from either CD8 or CD4 T cells to generate CAR8 and CAR4 cells, respectively. In vivo, CAR8 and CAR4 cells respond differently when simultaneously stimulated through the CAR and TCR.
