Global phosphoproteomic analysis of signaling by distinct chimeric antigen receptors reveals kinetic and quantitative differences that influence cell function

ABSTRACT: Chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) are synthetic proteins that redirect T cell specificity by linking an extracellular ligand binding domain to intracellular T cell signaling domains. CAR-expressing T (CAR-T) cells have demonstrated significant efficacy for the treatment of refractory B cell malignancies and are being evaluated as immunotherapeutic reagents for many other cancers. CAR designs are based on the fundamental principles of TCR recognition and most CARs employ the T cell-activating CD3z endodomain alongside a costimulatory domain from CD28 or 4-1BB. However, emerging data suggest that CD28/CD3z and 4-1BB/CD3z signaling modules promote divergent metabolic pathways, gene expression programs, and cell fates. To determine how CAR phosphoprotein signaling drives these disparate cell fates, we analyzed CAR ligation-induced signaling networks in primary human T cells using shotgun mass spectrometry. We isolated CD8+CD62L+ T cells from healthy donors and introduced a CD28/CD3z or 4-1BB/CD3z CAR by lentiviral transduction. Transduced T cells were purified by FACS and expanded once in vitro. When the cells returned to a resting state, CD28/CD3z or 4-1BB/CD3z CAR-T cells were stimulated for 10 or 45 minutes with magnetic microbeads coated with a monoclonal antibody specific for a 9 amino acid tag in the CAR extracellular sequence. CAR-T cells were also left unstimulated for 10 or 45 minutes to serve as controls. Altogether, 8 unique conditions were tested in an experiment and three independent experiments were performed.

Comparative analysis of T cell receptor and chimeric antigen receptor signaling in primary CD8+ T cells

Project description:Chimeric antigen receptor-modified (CAR) T cell therapy targeting highly expressed lineage antigens is effective for B cell malignancies. Achieving durable efficacy for hematological malignancies and extending this therapeutic approach to solid tumors will require T cell recognition and elimination of tumor cells that may express lower levels of the CAR target antigen. Realizing this goal is challenging because current approaches to CAR design are largely empiric and detailed information on CAR signaling is only beginning to emerge. Synthetic CARs typically require hundreds of molecules on the target cell to initiate signaling, whereas natural T cell receptors (TCRs) can recognize less than ten peptide-MHC (pMHC) antigen complexes. We reasoned that in depth comparison of TCR and CAR stimulation-induced signaling events in primary T cells might guide rationale adaptations to CAR design that would improve antigen sensitivity. Bi-specific T cells possessing an endogenous TCR and exogenous CAR of defined specificity were formulated from healthy HLA-B8+ Epstein-Barr virus-seropositive donors. Bi-specific T cells were stimulated with magnetic microbeads coated with recombinant TCR or CAR antigen for 10, 45, or 90 minutes. Some bi-specific T cells were also left unstimulated and harvested at each timepoint to serve as controls. Altogether, 9 unique conditions were tested in an experiment and three independent experiments were performed.

Chimeric Antigen Receptors with a MyD88 and CD40 costimulatory endodomain endow T cells with superior antitumor activity

Project description:CAR T-cell therapy for solid tumors has shown limited efficacy in early phase clinical studies. The majority of CARs encode CD28 and/or 41BB costimulatory endodomains and we explored here if MyD88 and CD40 (MC) costimulatory endodomains in CARs improve their antitumor activity. We generated CD28-, 41BB-, and MC-CAR T-cells and demonstrate that MC-CAR T-cells have greater proliferative capacity and antitumor activity in repeat stimulation assays and in tumor models in vivo. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that MC-CAR T-cells expressed higher levels of MYB and FOXM1, key cell cycle regulators, and are activated at base line. After stimulation, MC-CAR T-cells remain in a less differentiated state than CD28- and 41BB-CAR T-cells as judged by low levels of TBET and BLIMP1 expression, and lower cytolytic activity in comparison to CD28- and 41BB-CAR T-cells. Thus, including MyD88 and CD40 signaling domains in CARs may improve current CAR T-cell therapy approaches for solid tumors.

Calibrated CAR activation potential directs alternative T cell fates and therapeutic potency

Project description:CD19-specific CARs that comprise CD28 and CD3z signaling domains program highly performing effector functions that mediate potent tumor elimination, but they impart a relatively limited T cell lifespan. Increasing functional T cell persistence without reducing effector potency is therefore likely to further enhance the therapeutic success of 1928z CAR T cells. We demonstrate that the number and position of ITAMs in 1928z CAR T cells influence functional, phenotypic and transcriptional programs, resulting in profound effects on antitumor efficacy. Improved therapeutic potency of CAR T cells can thus be achieved by calibrating activation strength, thereby retaining memory functions and preventing exhaustion, without compromising effector functions. Our transcriptional analysis underscores the potential of ITAM dosage and position to direct different T cell fates. We were able to identify a novel CAR design, termed 1XX, which programs a favorable balance of effector and memory signatures, inducing increased persistence of highly functional CARs with the replicative capacity of long-lived memory cells and potent effector functions.

Comparison of transcriptional changes after CD28/CD3z and 4-1BB/CD3z chimeric antigen receptor ligation

Project description:The adoptive transfer of chimeric antigen receptor- (CAR) modified T cells is revolutionizing the treatment of B cell malignancies and has the potential to be applied to other diseases. CARs redirect T cell specificity by linking an antigen recognition domain to T cell signaling modules comprised of CD3z to provide signal 1, and CD28 or 4-1BB to provide costimulation. CD28/CD3z and 4-1BB/CD3z CARs confer differences in effector function and cell fate that affect clinical efficacy and toxicity. These differences may result from activation of divergent transcriptional programs. To gain this insight, we analyzed changes in gene expression in stimulated and resting CD28/CD3z or 4-1BB/CD3z CAR T cells. CD28/CD3z CAR stimulation initiated more marked early transcriptional changes with greater fold increases in the expression of effector molecules including GZMB, IFNG, IL2, TNF, and IL6. Direct comparison of CD28/CD3z and 4-1BB/CD3z samples stimulated for 6 hours identified 1,673 differentially expressed genes. Of these, the memory T cell-associated genes KLF2, IL7R, and FAM65B were expressed at lower levels in CD28/CD3z CAR T cells. KLF2 and IL7R are FOXO transcription factor family targets and we found that FOXO4 expression was similarly reduced in CD28/CD3z CAR T cells. CD28/CD3z CAR stimulation induces an effector T cell-like transcriptional profile that may underlie the decreased persistence and increased risks of toxicities observed with CD28/CD3z CAR T cells in early clinical trials.

Optimization of CAR T cell signaling by incorporation of null mutations

Project description:An obstacle with continued clinical development of CAR T cells is the limited understanding of CAR T cell biology and its mechanisms of anti-tumor immunity. We and others have shown that CARs with a CD28 co-stimulatory domain drive high levels of T cell activation that also lead to exhaustion and shortened persistence. This led us to hypothesize that by incorporating null mutations of CD28 subdomains (YMNM, PRRP, or PYAP) we could optimize CAR T cell signaling and reduce exhaustion. In vivo we found that mice given CAR T cells with a PYAP CD28 endodomain had a significant survival advantage. We also observed that mutant CAR T cells had significantly less expression of PD1 and were increased in the bone marrow and spleen. In addition, these mutant CAR T cells had optimized signaling resulting in a reduction of exhaustion related transcription factors and genes. Our results demonstrate that CAR T cells with a mutant CD28 endodomain have better survival and decreased exhaustion and is the result of decreased CAR dependent NFAT/NR4A1 transcription factors. This work allows for development of enhanced CAR T cell therapies by optimizing CAR T cell signaling.

CARPOOL: A library-based platform to rapidly identify next generation chimeric antigen receptors

Project description:CD19-targeted CAR therapies have successfully treated B cell leukemias, but many responders later relapse or experience toxicities. CAR ICDs are key to converting antigen recognition into anti-tumor effector functions. Despite the many possible immune signaling domain combinations that could be included in CARs, almost all CARs currently rely upon CD3, CD28, and/or 4-1BB signaling. To explore the signaling potential of CAR ICDs, we generated a library of 700,000 CD19 CAR molecules with diverse signaling domains and developed a high throughput screening platform to enable optimization of CAR signaling for anti-tumor functions. Our strategy identifies CARs with novel signaling domains that elicit distinct T cell behaviors from a clinically available CAR, including enhanced proliferation and persistence, lower exhaustion, potent cytotoxicity in an in vitro tumor rechallenge condition, and comparable tumor control in vivo. This approach is readily adaptable to numerous disease models, cell types, and selection conditions, making it a promising tool for rapidly improving adoptive cell therapies and expanding their utility to new disease indications.

Concert between cytokines and costimulatory domains to optimize chimeric antigen receptor immunotherapy in neuroblastoma model

Project description:Adoptive T cell therapy with gene-modified T cells expressing chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) is a rapidly growing field of translational medicine and recently has shown dramatic therapeutic success in the treatment of B-cell malignancies. However, challenges to achieve similar response in patients harboring solid tumour are still considerable. To achieve anti-tumor efficacy, these cells must survive, expand and persist after infusion into patients. An important lesson has been derived from clinical trials using CAR technologies: the relevance of the CAR design to enhance signaling and sustain T cell proliferation and survival. Here, we prove that third generation CARs specific for GD2 antigen incorporating CD28.4-1BB costimulatory domains improves T cell immunotherapy in a neuroblastoma (NB) pre-clinical model, as compared to a CAR with the same specificity but including CD28.OX40 costimulation. Indeed, we test the anti-tumor activity of polyclonal T cells genetically modified with third generation CAR.GD2 incorporating either CD28.4-1BB or CD28.OX40 in frame with the safety switch inducible Caspase 9 (iC9). We prove a significant in vitro and in vivo amelioration of the approach by the presence of 4.1BB signaling in terms of: 1) less T cell exhaustion, 2) lower basal T cell activation, 3) higher in vivo tumor control and 4) T cell persistence. In addition, the fine tuning of T cell culture conditions with the use of IL7 and IL15 show to be synergic with the third generation CAR.GD2 design to optimize CAR T immunotherapy for NB. Our results provide a proof-of-concept for the need to optimize not only CAR construct design but also T cell culture conditions in order to boost T cell activity in vivo.

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 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.
