Profiling Immune-Independent Response to Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors on Stem Cell-derived Cardiac Organoids [scRNAseq_Mouse]
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The use of antibody based immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have been highly successful in clinical treatment of several cancers. Despite the compelling efficacy of these drugs with their high binding affinity, there is incomplete understanding of non-target interactions in vivo. In this regard, ICIs are also known to cause immune-related adverse events (iRAEs) arising from infiltration of immune cells in tissues such as the heart. Due to the frequency of ICI treatments, extended half-life and the late onset of cardiac events, concerns have been raised regarding potential direct interactions of ICIs with major cellular cell types of the heart. The direct effects of these drugs in patients are limited due to rare incidence, and difficulty in obtaining patient heart biopsies in the pre- or post-symptomatic phase. Therefore, in order to study both functional and molecular changes in vitro and in vivo, we utilized a human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CMs), cardiac organoids (COs), and immunocompromised NOD/SCID mouse models.
