Robust differentiation of NK cells from MSLN.CAR-IL-15-engineered human iPSCs with enhanced anti-tumor efficacy against solid tumors [bulk RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) offer a promising source for producing standardized, off-the-shelf CAR-NK products. However, the complex and time-consuming iPSC-NK (iNK) manufacturing challenges clinical use. Here, we identified LiPSC-GR1.1 as a superior iPSC line for iNK production. By engineering LiPSC-GR1.1 with a mesothelin (MSLN)-targeting CAR and IL-15, we achieved efficient robust differentiation of iPSCs into mature and activated iNKs, which demonstrated enhanced tumor-killing efficacy, superior tumor-homing, and vigorous proliferation. Single-cell transcriptomic analysis revealed that TGF-β-producing tumor cells upregulated MHC molecules and downregulated MSLN expression post-CAR-IL-15 iNK treatment. Tumor-infiltrating CAR-IL-15 iNKs exhibited high levels of CAR, IL-15, and NK-activating receptors, negligible checkpoint exhaustion markers, and extremely low levels of NK suppressive factors CISH, TGFBR2, and BATF, enabling them to sustain activation, metabolic fitness, and effective tumor killing within the TGF-β-rich hypoxic tumor microenvironment. Overall, we developed a MSLN.CAR-IL-15-engineered GR1.1-iNK product with enhanced anti-tumor efficacy for solid tumor treatment.

Robust differentiation of NK cells from MSLN.CAR-IL-15-engineered human iPSCs with enhanced anti-tumor efficacy against solid tumors [scRNA-seq]

Highly Active CAR T Cells that Bind to a Juxta-Membrane Region of Mesothelin and are Not Blocked by Shed Mesothelin

Project description:Identification of the major protease sites in MSLN and preparation of a monoclonal antibody, 15B6, that binds next to cell membrane at the protease sensitive region and inhibits MSLN shedding. Mab 15B6 makes very active CAR-T cells whose activity is not blocked by shed MSLN. The 15B6 CAR-T cells have greatly superior anti-tumor activity in mice than CAR-T cells targeting an epitope in shed MSLN.

NK cells engineered with a IL-15/IL-15Rα complex and CD19-targeted CAR show in vitro expansion and tumor regression in a murine xenograft model of B-cell leukemia in vivo

Project description:Natural killer (NK) cells are an attractive therapeutic approach as alternative chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) carriers and unlike T cells, offer their use in allogeneic settings. The translation of NK cells into the clinic is still hampered by the inability of CAR-NK cells to expand in vitro and in vivo. Adoptive transfer of CAR-NK cells holds the promise of therapeutic benefit with a lower rate of adverse events due to the absence of GvHD and cytokine release syndrome. However, adoptive transfer of CAR-NK cells has not yet achieved breakthrough clinical results, and further improvement of CAR-NK cells is necessary. Here, we demonstrated that a fourth-generation CD19-targeted CAR (CAR.19) co-expressing IL-15 linked to its receptor IL-15/IL-15Rα (CAR.19-IL-15/IL-15Rα) significantly enhanced NK-92 cell proliferation, proinflammatory cytokine secretion, and cytotoxic activity against B-cell cancer cell lines in vitro and in a xenograft mouse model. Surprisingly, CAR construct comprising the IL-15/IL-15Rα was superior to CAR co-expressing the soluble form of IL-15 in terms of sustained proliferation, viability, but importantly also in their ability to control CD19+ B-cell lymphoma in a murine xenograft model. Together with the results of the systematic analysis of the transcriptome of activated NK-92 CAR variants, this supports the notion that IL-15/IL-15Rα comprising fourth-generation CARs may overcome the limitations of NK cell-based targeted tumor therapies in vivo by providing the necessary growth and activation signals

A comparative microarray analysis revealed common and distinct features between iNKs and PBMC-NKs.

Project description:A comparative microarray analysis revealed common and distinct features between iNKs and PBMC-NKs. 1523 differentially expressed genes exhibited a 2 fold change when P value of 0.05 is adjusted. 1054 genes were up-regulated and 469 genes were down-regulated in iNKs. Gene ontology (GO) analysis of the top significant up-regulated genes in iNKs revealed the enrichment for mitotic cell cycle, showing the characteristics of growth of iNK. A range of genes involved in NK regulatory functions including receptors, cytokines, chemokines, and adhesion molecules were found to be uniquely up-regulated in iNKs. To evaluate the properties of iNK cells, primary NK cells (PBMC-NKs) and induced NK cells (iNKs) were compared at total gene expression levels.

Cord blood donor characteristics determine the efficacy of IL-15 armored CAR-transduced natural killer cells against CD19-positive B cell tumors

Project description:We conducted a phase I-II clinical trial at our institution that was designed to assess the safety and efficacy of escalating doses of CAR19/IL-15 CB-NK cells as treatment for relapsed/refractory CD19-positive malignancies. NK cells from these optimal CBs were highly functional and enriched in effector-related genes. In contrast, NK cells from suboptimal CBs had upregulation of inflammation, cellular stress and apoptosis programs. Finally, using multiple mouse models, we confirmed the superior anti-tumor activity of CAR-NK cells from optimal CBs.

iPSCs-derived NK cells with site-specific integration of CAR19 and IL24 at the multi-copy rDNA locus enhanced antitumor activity and proliferation

Project description:The generation of CAR-NK cells using induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) has emerged as one of the paradigms for manufacturing off-the-shelf universal immunotherapy.iPSCs here were site-specifically integrated at the ribosomal DNA (rDNA) locus with interleukin 24 (IL24) and CD19-specific chimeric antigen receptor (CAR19), and successfully differentiated into iPSCs-derived NK (iNK) cells followed by expansion using magnetic beads in vitro. To explore the anti-tumor phenotype of CAR-loaded iNK cells and the likely role of IL24, RNA from four iNK cells was isolated, sequenced, and gene expression of the cell populations were compared.

CREM is a regulatory checkpoint of CAR and IL-15 signaling in NK cells

Project description:This is a preclinical study investigating the role of CREM transcription factor in CAR NK cells. We found thata CREM is a regulatory checkpoint induced by CAR CD3z signaling and IL-15 stimulation that leads to suppression of NK cell function. CREM KO enhances the anti-tumor efficacy of CAR NK cells.

iPSC-derived NK cells and anti-PD-1 antibody synergize to enhance T cell cytokine and cytolytic responses against multiple tumors

Project description:We have developed a robust and efficient manufacturing system for the differentiation and expansion of high-quality NK cells (iNKs) derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). We used GeneChip microarrays to compare the whole transcriptome of iNK cells to the transcriptomes of primary T cell and NK cell populations, K562 feeder cell-expanded primary NK cells, fibroblasts, iPSCs and iCD34+ cells.

CAR T cells, CAR NK cells and CAR macrophages exhibit distinct traits in glioma models but are similarly enhanced when combined with cytokines

Project description:Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy is a promising immunotherapy against cancer. Although there is a growing interest in other cell types, a comparison of CAR immune effector cells in challenging solid tumor contexts is lacking. Here, we compare mouse and human NKG2D-CAR expressing T cells, NK cells and macrophages against glioblastoma, the most aggressive primary brain tumor. In vitro we show that T cell cancer killing is CAR-dependent, whereas intrinsic cytotoxicity overrules CAR-dependence for NK cells and CAR macrophages reduce glioma cells in co-culture assays. In orthotopic immunocompetent glioma mouse models, systemically administered CAR T cells demonstrate superior accumulation in the tumor and each immune cell type induces distinct changes in the tumor microenvironment. An otherwise low therapeutic efficacy is significantly enhanced by co-expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in all CAR immune effector cells, underscoring the necessity for multifaceted cell engineering strategies to overcome the immunosuppressive solid tumor microenvironment.
