SynNotch CAR-Macrophages promote persistent antitumour activity through enhanced adaptive immunity [scRNA-Seq human]

ABSTRACT: Chimeric antigen receptor-macrophage (CAR-M) possess the ability to migrate into the immunosuppressive tumour microenvironment (TME) of solid tumours and mediate phagocytosis. However, their efficacy is limited by challenges in precisely controlling tumour-specific immune activation and sustaining adaptive antitumour responses due to systemic off-target risks and inefficient antigen presentation. To overcome these limitations, we engineered an antigen prime-and-kill circuit, wherein tumour-specific synthetic Notch (syN) receptors locally induce the production of a kill antigen. This circuit enhances the precision of CAR-M while establishing self-sustaining antigen-presentation networks, amplifying tumour-specific T-cell adaptive immunity without eliciting systemic cytokine toxicity. To enable in situ CAR-M generation, we developed a macrophage-derived exosome-based delivery system to introduce syN-CAR genes into tumour-associated macrophages (TAMs), thereby generating syN-CAR-M within the TME. These engineered CAR-M actively sought and engulfed cancer cells while promoting a robust adaptive antitumour immune response in the TME in a murine tumour model. Our findings highlight that in situ induction of syN-CAR-M triggers a potent, tumour-specific adaptive immune response, offering a novel strategy for CAR-M-based immunotherapy and advancing precision cancer treatment by enhancing efficacy while minimizing systemic toxicity.

Interventional hydrogel microsphere vaccine as an immune amplifier for activated antitumour immunity after ablation therapy

Project description:Current chemotherapy or immunotherapy regimens for pancreatic cancer are limited. Although minimally invasive irreversible electroporation (IRE) ablation is a promising option for unresectable pancreatic cancers, the typical immunosuppressive tumour microenvironment promotes immune evasion and rapid tumour recurrence. Thus, triggering efficient amplification of endogenous adaptive antitumour immunity is critical for improving immunotherapy after ablation therapy. Here, we developed a hydrogel microsphere vaccine as an immune amplifier for post-ablation cancer immunotherapy. The vaccine acts as a general immune amplifier to trigger a rocket-like amplification of the cDC1-mediated antigen cross-presentation cascade, resulting in dramatic amplification of the antitumour immunity of endogenous CD8+ T cells. We also showed that the hydrogel microsphere vaccine promoted the transformation of pancreatic cancer from "cold" to "hot" tumours in a safe and efficient manner, significantly increased the survival of mice bearing orthotopic pancreatic tumours, and induced strong systemic antitumour immunity, which inhibited the growth of distant metastases.

Identifying mechanisms for augmenting antitumour efficacy of PD-1 blockade therapy by gut microbiota

Project description:The gut microbiota is related to the antitumour efficacy of immune checkpoint blockade, but the mechanism(s) of action have not been fully elucidated. Here, we show that a novel Ruminococcaceae strain (designated YB328) isolated from the faeces of patients who responded to programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) blockade primes/activates tumour-specific CD8+ T cells through stimulation/maturation of CD103+CD11b- conventional dendritic cells (cDCs) which migrate from the gut to the tumour microenvironment (TME). YB328 administration improved the antitumour efficacy of PD-1 blockade even when it was added to faecal transplantation from non-responder patients in animal models. YB328 promoted the IRF8-driven differentiation of CD103+CD11b- cDCs expressing multiple Toll-like receptors, which received additional stimulation/maturation signals from other bacteria, and the accumulation of these DCs in tumour lesions. These CD103+CD11b- cDCs prolonged engagement with cognate antigen-specific CD8+ T cells, which induced the activation of CD8+ T cells specific for diverse tumour antigens and fostered PD-1 expression through NFATc1 nuclear translocation, thereby leading to an increase in PD-1+CD8+ T cells harbouring a broader T-cell receptor repertoire in the TME. We propose that the gut microbiota augments antitumour immunity by accelerating the differentiation/maturation and migration of DCs to increase CD8+ T cells responding to diverse tumour antigens.

Crosstalk between CAR T cell subsets and the tumor microenvironment is essential for sustained cytotoxic activity

Project description:Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy relies on the activity of a large pool of tumor-targeting cytotoxic effectors. Whether CAR T cells act autonomously or require interactions with the tumor microenvironment (TME) is unclear. Here, we report an essential crosstalk between CAR T cell subsets and the TME for tumor control. Using single-cell RNA sequencing, we revealed profound modification of the TME during CAR T cell therapy. IFN-gamma produced by CAR T cells and host-derived IL-12 not only enhanced endogenous T and NK cell activity but were also essential for sustaining CAR T cell cytotoxicity as revealed by intravital imaging. Compared to CD8+ CAR T cells, CD4+ CAR T cells were more efficient at host immune activation but less capable of tumor killing. In sum, CAR T cells are not acting alone in vivo but rely instead on a cytokine-mediated crosstalk with the TME for optimal activity. Invigorating CAR T cell interplay with the host represents an attractive strategy to prevent relapses.

PD-1/CD80+ small extracellular vesicles from immunocytes induce cold tumours featuring with enhanced adaptive immunosuppression

Project description:Only a minority of cancer patients benefit from immune checkpoint blockade therapy. Sophisticated cross-talk among different immune checkpoint pathways as well as interaction pattern of immune checkpoint molecules carried on circulating small extracellular vesicles (sEV) might contribute to the low response rate. Here we demonstrate that PD-1 and CD80 carried on immunocyte-derived sEVs (I-sEV) induce an adaptive redistribution of PD-L1 in tumour cells. The resulting decreased cell membrane PD-L1 expression and increased sEV PD-L1 secretion into the circulation contribute to systemic immunosuppression. PD-1/CD80+ I-sEVs also induce downregulation of adhesion- and antigen presentation-related molecules on tumour cells and impaired immune cell infiltration, thereby converting tumours to an immunologically cold phenotype. Moreover, synchronous analysis of multiple checkpoint molecules, including PD-1, CD80 and PD-L1, on circulating sEVs distinguishes clinical responders from those patients who poorly respond to anti-PD-1 treatment. Altogether, our study shows that sEVs carry multiple inhibitory immune checkpoints proteins, which form a potentially targetable adaptive loop to suppress antitumour immunity.

Inactivation of interferon signaling promotes the establishment of an immunosuppressive microenvironment in colorectal cancers

Project description:Tumors arise and grow despite anti-cancer immune responses. These responses can be stimulated by immunotherapies such as immune checkpoint inhibitors (e.g. anti-PD1 antibodies) and chimeric antigen receptors (CAR). Efficacy of these agents in solid tumors including colorectal cancers (CRC) is limited by immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) that prevents killing of malignant cells by cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). Understanding the nature of TME-generated immunosuppression is of paramount importance. Here we report that TME elicited immunosuppression via eliminating activated CTL; this elimination required TME stress-induced downregulation of the IFNAR1 chain of type I interferon (IFN) receptor and attenuation of its signaling. Downregulation of IFNAR1 was observed in human colorectal cancers (CRC) and in mouse CRC models where it was required for efficient tumor development and progression. Stabilization of IFNAR1 on CTL improved their survival and increased anti- tumor activities of CAR T cells and PD1 inhibitors thereby providing a rationale for targeting IFNAR1 degradation for immunotherapies optimization. Two genotypes of mice were examined either 9 or 21 days post injection of MC38 colon cancer cells or MC38mRFP cells, respectively. 2-3 replicate mice were analyzed on separate arrays for each condition. 6 conditions in total were analyzed.

Tumour immune contexture is a determinant of anti-CD19 CAR T-cell efficacy in large B cell lymphoma

Project description:Axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel), an anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy approved for treatment of relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL), has comparable efficacy across conventional LBCL markers. We analysed whether pre- and posttreatment tumour immune contexture determines clinical outcomes for axi cel–treated patients in the ZUMA-1 pivotal study. Longitudinal evaluation of the tumour microenvironment (TME) uncovered dynamic patterns that occurred rapidly after axi-cel (within 2 weeks) in responders—pronounced enhancement of T- and myeloid cell signatures and diminution of B cell signature. Clinical response and overall survival associated with high CD8+ T-cell density (Immunoscore) and immune gene expression (Immunosign21) in TME pretreatment, which was paralleled by blood CAR T-cell levels posttreatment. High density of regulatory T cells in TME pretreatment associated with reduced axi-cel–related neurologic toxicity. At relapse, the TME evolved toward an immune-detrimental contexture with decreased T-cell–related and increased counterregulatory immune signatures and B cell lineage antigens. A TME rich in T-cell attractive chemokines (CCL5, CCL22), gamma-chain receptor cytokines (IL-15, IL-7, IL-21), and interferon regulated molecules associated with T-cell infiltration and markers of activity, a result validated in 2 independent datasets totalling ≈300 LBCL samples. These findings advance mechanistic understanding of CAR T-cell therapy and foster biomarker development and treatment optimizations.

Low-dose decitabine priming endows CAR T cells with enhanced and persistent anti-tumor potential by epigenetic reprogramming in vivo and in vitro.

Project description:Chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR T) cells targeting CD19 have achieved breakthroughs in the treatment of haematological malignancies, but many clinical studies have also shown that a proportion of patients relapse after remission.In this study, we designed CART treatment by DNMTi（dCART) inhibitor and found that dCAR T cells retained relatively potent antitumour activity compared with CAR T cell upon target antigen recognition. It may be associated with memory and anti-exhausion. Our transcriptional analysis underscores the potential of dCAR T cells.
