Co-STARs: Combining the advantages of chimeric antigen and T cell receptors for cancer targeting

ABSTRACT: Two types of engineered T cells have been successfully used to treat cancer patients, one with an antigen recognition domain derived from antibodies (chimeric antigen receptors, CARs) and the other derived from T-cell receptors (TCRs). CARs employ high-affinity antigen binding domains and co-stimulatory domains to augment T-cell activation but can only react against target cells with relatively high amounts of antigen. TCRs have a much lower affinity for their antigens but can react against target cells displaying only a few antigen molecules. Here we describe a new type of receptor, called a Co-STAR (for Co-stimulatory Synthetic T-cell receptor and Antigen Receptor), that combines aspects of both CARs and TCRs. In Co-STARs, the antigen-recognizing components of TCRs are replaced by high-affinity antibody fragments and co-stimulation is provided by two modules that drive NFκB signaling (MyD88 and CD40). We demonstrate that Co-STARs produce robust T-cell expansion and induce long-term regressions of mouse tumors bearing very low densities of antigen.

Expression data from mouse CD19-targeted CAR (chimeric antigen receptor) T cells after antigen stimulation [RNA-seq]

Project description:Second-generation CD19-targeted chimeric antigen receptors (CAR) have an antigen-binding domain fused to transmembrane, co-stimulatory, and CD3ζ domains. The two CARs with regulatory approval include a CD28 or 4-1BB co-stimulatory domain. While both CARs achieve similar clinical outcomes, biologic differences between the two endodomains have become apparent but not completely understood. The objective is to evaluate gene expression in different mouse CD19-targeted CAR T cells, including m19z, m1928z and m19-humBBz.

Optimized delivery of dual co-stimulation and anti-tumor activity using parallel chimeric antigen receptors (pCARs)

Project description:Second generation (2G) chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) contain a CD28 or 41BB co-stimulatory endodomain and elicit remarkable efficacy in hematological malignancies. Third generation (3G) CARs extend this linear blueprint by fusing both co-stimulatory units in series. However, clinical impact has been muted despite compelling evidence that co-signaling by CD28 and 41BB can powerfully amplify natural immune responses. We postulate that effective dual co-stimulation requires juxta-membrane positioning of endodomain components within separate synthetic receptors. Consequently, we designed parallel (p)CARs in which a 2G (CD28+CD3) CAR is co-expressed with a 41BB-containing chimeric co-stimulatory receptor. We demonstrate that the pCAR platform optimally harnesses synergistic and tumor-dependent co-stimulation to resist T-cell exhaustion and senescence, sustaining proliferation, cytokine release, cytokine signaling and metabolic fitness upon repeated stimulation. When engineered using targeting moieties of diverse composition, affinity and specificity, pCAR T-cells consistently elicit superior anti-tumor activity both in vitro and in vivo, warranting clinical development.

Expression data from chimeric antigen receptor transduced (CAR) human CD4+ T cells during expansion

Project description:In this data set we include expression data from human CD4+ T cells isolated on day 0, 6, 11 and 24 follow anti-CD3/anti-CD28 magnetic bead stimulation and chimeric antigen receptor transduction. 30 samples were submitted. Samples represented three biological replicates of normal donors transduced with various CARs. CARs used were a cMet 28z specific CAR comprised of the IgG4 hinge, CD28 transmembrane and CD28 and CD3zeta intracellular domains. A CD19 CD28 CAR was specific to CD19, and was comprised of a CD8a hinge, CD28 transmembrane and CD28 and CD3zeta intracellular domain. A third CAR, the CD19 BBz, was used that was specific to CD19 was comprised of a CD8a hinge, CD8a transmembrane and 4-1BB and CD3zeta intracellular domains. Expression data was analyzied on day 0, 6, 11 and 24.

T Cell Receptor-mimic STAR Conveys Superior Sensitivity over CAR in Targeting Tumors with Low-density Neoantigens

Project description:Targeting tumor-specific neoantigens is promising for cancer immunotherapy, yet their ultra-low expression on tumor cells poses significant challenges for T cell therapies. Here, we found that chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) exhibited 10-100 times lower sensitivity compared to T cell receptors (TCRs) when targeting p53R175H common neoantigen. To enhance CAR functionality, we introduce T cell receptor fusion construct (TRuC) and synthetic TCR and antigen receptor (STAR). Our data demonstrate that STAR, which incorporates TCR-mimic antibody fragments and complete TCR signaling machinery, optimally reproduces antigen sensitivity of TCRs. STAR outperforms both CAR and TRuC in redirecting both CD8+ and CD4+ T cells to recognize HLA class I neoantigens. In vitro, human primary T cells engineered with STAR kill multiple cancer cell lines with low neoantigen density better than CAR-T and TRuC-T cells. In tumor mouse models, STAR-T cells outperform CAR-T and TRuC-T cells in controlling neoantigen-low breast cancer and leukemia. Taken together, our findings highlight severe defects in CAR sensitivity and introduce STAR as a more sensitive synthetic receptor, providing a new framework for T cell-based immunotherapy targeting tumors with low neoantigen density.

Leucine zipper-based sorting system enables generation of multi-functional CAR T cells

Project description:Resistance to chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy develops through multiple mechanisms including antigen-loss escape and tumor-induced immune suppression. Expression of multiple CARs may overcome multi-antigen-loss escape. Similarly, expression of switch receptors that convert inhibitory immune checkpoint signals into positive costimulatory signals may enhance CAR T cell activity in the tumor microenvironment. Engineering multiple features into one cell product, however, is limited by transgene packaging constraints of current vector systems. Here, we describe a leucine zipper-based cell sorting methodology that enables selective single-step immunomagnetic purification of cells co-transduced with two vectors, designed to potentially double the number of incorporated transgenes. This “Zip-sorting” system facilitated generation of T cells simultaneously expressing up to four CARs and co-expressing up to three switch receptors. These multi-CAR multi-Switch receptor arrays enabled T cells to eliminate antigenically heterogeneous syngeneic leukemia populations co-expressing multiple inhibitory ligands. Zip-sorted multi-CAR multi-Switch receptor T cells represent a combinatorial therapeutic strategy to overcome multiple mechanisms of CAR T cell resistance.

ATLAS-seq: a microfluidic single-cell TCR screen for antigen-reactive TCRs

Project description:Discovering antigen-reactive T cell receptors (TCRs) is central to developing effective engineered T cell immunotherapies. However, the conventional technologies for isolating antigen-reactive TCRs (i.e., major histocompatibility complex (MHC) multimer staining) focus on high-affinity interactions between the TCR and MHC-antigen complex, and may fail to identify TCRs with high efficacy for activating T cells. Here, we develop a microfluidic single-cell screening method for antigen-reactive T cells named ATLAS-seq (Aptamer-based T Lymphocyte Activity Screening and SEQuencing). This technology isolates and characterizes activated T cells via an aptamer-based fluorescent molecular sensor, which monitors the cytotoxic cytokine IFNγ secretion from single T cells upon antigen stimulation, followed by single-cell RNA and single-cell TCR sequencing. We use ATLAS-seq to screen TCRs reactive to cytomegalovirus (CMV) or prostate specific antigen (PSA) from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). ATLAS-seq identifies distinct TCR clonotype populations with higher T cell activation levels compared to TCRs recovered by MHC multimer staining. Select TCR clonotypes from ATLAS-seq are more efficient in target cell killing than those from MHC multimer staining. Collectively, ATLAS-seq provides an efficient and broadly applicable technology to screen antigen-reactive TCRs for engineered T cell immunotherapy.
