B cell directed CAR-T cell therapy results in activation of CD8+ cytotoxic CAR-negative bystander T cells in both non-human primates and patients


ABSTRACT: There is growing appreciation for the emergence of CARneg bystander T cells after CAR-T cell infusion. However, their phenotypic and transcriptomic hallmarks and mechanisms of activation remain uncertain. We performed single-cell RNA-Seq (scRNA-Seq) on non-human primate (NHP) and patient-derived T cells to interrogate CARneg T cells following B cell targeted CAR-T cell therapy. In a NHP model, we observed a distinct population of activated CD8+ CARneg T cells emerging during CAR-T cell expansion. These bystander CD8+ CARneg T cells exhibited a unique transcriptional signature with upregulation of NK-cell markers (KIR3DL2, CD160, KLRD1), chemokines and chemokine receptors (CCL5, XCL1, CCR9), and downregulation of naive T cell-associated genes (SELL, CD28). A transcriptionally similar population was identified in patients following Tisangelecleucel infusion. Mechanistic studies revealed that IL-2 and IL-15 exposure induced bystander-like CD8+ T cells. These T cells efficiently killed leukemic cells through a TCR-independent mechanism. Together, these data identify bystander CD8+ T cells as a novel mechanism by which CAR-T cell infusion can induce further anti-leukemic activity, measurable in both NHP and in patients.
