Precision Editing of Cyclophilin A Generates Cyclosporine and Voclosporin Resistant Cellular Therapies


ABSTRACT: Recipients of allogeneic transplants or patients with autoimmune disease require immune suppression, often with calcineurin inhibitors. There is an expanding repertoire of immune effector cell therapies, including CD19 CAR-T cells and viral-specific T cells, deployed in these patients; however, ongoing calcineurin inhibition may be detrimental to cell therapy function. We developed a CRISPR/Cas9-based approach to engineer dual cyclosporine/voclosporin resistant cell therapies by targeting PPIA (encoding cyclophilin A), a critical binding partner for both drugs. Because Cyclophilin A has homeostatic functions in T cells, a complete knock-out is detrimental to cell viability. We thus targeted its C-terminus, disrupting drug binding while leaving the majority of the protein intact. C-terminal editing was stable throughout expansion and preserved Cyclophilin A expression. Edited CD19 CAR-T cells retained effector function in the presence of cyclosporine and voclosporin, including proliferation, cytokine production, and target cell killing, resulting in improved survival in murine models of CD19+ leukemia. Edited CMV-specific T cells also demonstrated preserved antigen-specific proliferation and cytokine production in the presence of these drugs. C-terminal editing of Cyclophilin A offers a promising avenue for developing next-generation cell therapies for patients receiving calcineurin inhibitors.
