Project description:The phase 3 ZUMA-7 trial in second-line large B-cell lymphoma demonstrated superiority of anti-CD19 CAR T-cell therapy (axicabtagene ciloleucel; axi-cel) over standard of care (SOC; salvage chemotherapy followed by hematopoietic transplantation). Here, we present a prespecified exploratory analysis examining the association between pretreatment tumor characteristics and the efficacy of axi-cel versus SOC. B-cell gene expression signature (GES) and CD19 expression significantly associated with improved event-free survival (EFS) for axi-cel (P=.0002 for B-cell GES; P=.0165 for CD19 expression) but not SOC (P=.9374 for B-cell GES; P=.5526 for CD19 expression). Axi-cel showed superior EFS over SOC irrespective of B-cell GES and CD19 expression (P=8.56e–9 for B-cell GES high; P=.0019 for B-cell GES low; P=3.85e–9 for CD19 gene high; P=.0017 for CD19 gene low). Low CD19 expression in malignant cells correlated with a tumor GES consisting of immune suppressive stromal and myeloid genes, highlighting the inter-relation between malignant cell features and immune contexture substantially impacting axi-cel outcomes. Tumor burden, lactate dehydrogenase, and cell-of-origin impacted SOC more than axi-cel outcomes. T-cell activation and B-cell GES, which are associated with improved axi-cel outcome, decreased with increasing lines of therapy. These data highlight differences in resistance mechanisms to axi-cel and SOC and support earlier intervention with axi-cel.

Project description:Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy is at the forefront of cell immunotherapy. In this study, we generated an anti-CD19 CAR-Jurkat T cell line using a locally produced second-generation CD19 CAR construct, enabling us to analyze early proteomic changes crucial for understanding the signaling pathways and mechanisms of action of this CAR-T cell. SILAC-heavy tagged RAJI B-cells and anti-CD19 CAR-Jurkat T-cells were co-cultured for ten minutes. The proteomic profiles were obtained via DIA methodology on the Orbitrap Astral LC-MS/MS platform. The proteome was extensively covered, resulting in approximately 8800 protein identifications at 1% FDR. The effector CAR-Jurkat cells showed proteomic changes involving antigen presentation by CD74. The target RAJI B-cells exhibited more significant alterations, such as CD28, essential for T-cell survival and activation.

Project description:Lymphodepletion chemotherapy followed by infusion of T cells modified to express a CD19-targeting chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) has produced remarkable anti-tumor responses in patients with B cell malignancies. However, little is known about the clonal composition and transcriptional heterogeneity of CAR-T cells in the infusion products (IP) and clonal kinetics after adoptive transfer. We performed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) on CD8+ CAR-T cells isolated from the IP and the blood of patients treated on a phase 1 clinical trial (NCT01865617) with lymphodepletion chemotherapy and a defined formulation of CD4+ and CD8+ CD19-specific CAR-T cells. Infused CD8+ CAR-T cells displayed transcriptional heterogeneity which declined after adoptive transfer, coincident with early expression of genes associated with activation. We identified four transcriptionally distinct CAR-T cell subsets in the IP and found that these subsets differed in their contributions to the CAR-T cell population detected in blood after infusion. Better understanding of the kinetics of clonal expansion of CAR-T cells after adoptive transfer may provide insight into strategies to improve CAR-T cell immunotherapy.

Project description:CAR T-cell therapy has led to tremendous successes in the treatment of B-cell malignancies. However, 30%-50% of treated patients relapse – often with reduced target antigen expression. We report that anti-CD19 CAR T-cells cause a rapid reduction of CD19 expression within hours in CAR-T exposed CD19+ B-ALL cells. Initially, anti-CD19 CAR T-cells cause CD19 clusters at the T-cell – leukemia cell interface followed by CD19 internalization and decreased CD19 surface expression. Subsequently, CD19 expression is repressed by transcriptional rewiring. Using single-cell RNA-seq and single-cell ATAC-seq we demonstrate that a subset of CD19low cells that are refractory to CAR T-cell killing employ transcriptional programs of physiological B-cell activation and germinal center reaction in order to sustain decreased CD19 expression. Inhibiting B-cell activation programs with the BTK inhibitor ibrutinib increased the cytotoxic efficacy of anti-CD19 CAR T-cells without effecting CAR T-cell viability. These results demonstrate transcriptional plasticity as an underlying mechanism of CAR T-resistance and highlight the importance of combining CAR T-cell therapy with targeted therapies that aim to overcome this plasticity.

Project description:Long-lived, self-renewing, multipotent T memory stem cells (TSCM) can trigger profound and sustained tumor regression but their rareness poses a major hurdle to their clinical application. Presently, clinically compliant procedures to generate relevant numbers of this T cell population are undefined. Here, we provide a strategy for deriving large numbers of clinical grade tumor-redirected TSCM cells starting from naïve precursors. CD8+CD62L+CD45RA+ naïve T cells enriched by streptamer-based serial positive selection were activated by CD3/CD28 engagement in the presence of IL-7, IL-21 and the glycogen synthase-3β inhibitor TWS119, and genetically engineered to express a CD19-specific chimeric antigen receptor (CD19-CAR). These conditions allowed for the generation of CD19-CAR modified TSCM cells that were phenotypically, functionally and transcriptomically equivalent to their naturally occurring counterpart. Compared with T cell products currently under clinical investigation, CD19-CAR modified TSCM cells exhibit enhanced metabolic fitness, persistence and anti-tumor activity against systemic acute lymphoblastic leukemia xenografts. Based on these findings, we have initiated a phase 1 clinical study to evaluate the activity of CD19-CAR modified TSCM in patients with B-cell malignancies refractory to prior allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Three healthy human blood donors provided lymphocyte-enriched apheresis blood for this study after informed consent. From all samples, total RNA was isolated using an miRNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen), processed by Ambionâ??s WT expression kit, fragmented and labeled with a WT Terminal Labeling Kit (Affymetrix), hybridized to WT Human Gene 1.0 ST arrays (Affymetrix) and stained on a Genechip Fluidics Station 450 (Affymetrix), all according to the respective manufacturer's instructions. Samples represent exon-level and gene-level analyses.

Project description:Chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) targeting the CD19 antigen represents an innovative therapeutic approach to improve the outcome of relapsed or refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). Yet, despite a high initial remission rate, CAR-T therapy ultimately fails for some patients. Notably, around half of relapsing patients develop CD19 negative (CD19neg) B-ALL allowing leukemic cells to evade CD19-targeted therapy. Herein, we investigate leukemic cells of a relapsing B-ALL patient, at two-time points: before (T1) and after (T2) anti-CD19 CAR-T treatment. We show that at T2, the B-ALL relapse is CD19 negative due to the expression of a non-functional CD19 transcript retaining intron 2. Then, using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) approach, we demonstrate that CD19neg leukemic cells were present before CAR-T cell therapy and thus that the relapse results from the selection of these rare CD19neg B-ALL clones. In conclusion, our study shows that scRNAseq profiling can reveal pre-existing CD19neg subclones, raising the possibility to assess the risk of targeted therapy failure.

Project description:To characterize transfer of molecules from target cells into CAR T cells via trogocytosis we cultured NALM-6 leukemia cell line expressing a CD19-mCherry fusion protein with CAR T cells. NALM6-CD19-mCherry were loaded with heavy amino acid and cocultured with CAR T cells for 1 hour. CAR T cells were next sorted into two fractions, mCherry-positive (TrogPos), and -negative (TrogNeg). Proteomics analysis revealed the presence of targeted antigen (CD19) in the TrogPos only.

Project description:Purpose: To compare cell states between CD19-28z and GD2-28z human CAR T cells on day 10 of cell culture. Methods: Human T cells were activated and lentivirally transduced with CD19-28z or GD2-28z CAR constructs and maintained in culture for 10 days, and then delivered to the Stanford Functional Genomics Facility for 3' single-cell RNA-sequencing on the 10X Genomics platform. Results: Comparison of transcription factor profiles by single cell RNA-seq analysis of CD8+ T cells expressing CD19-28z vs. GD2-28z CAR confirmed that the bZIP family members JUN, JUNB, JUND, and ATF4 were among the most differentially expressed and broadly connected in exhausted GD2-28z CAR T cells. Conclusions: This study provides insights into cell states that could explain the underlying differences between highly functional CD19-28z CAR T cells and exhaustion-prone GD2-28z CAR T cells on day 10 in culture.
