Project description:We employed single - cell RNA sequencing combined with BCR/TCR profiling to study PBMCs from 5 SLE patients pre - treatment and 6 months post dual - target (BCMA/CD19) CAR - T therapy. PBMCs were analyzed to characterize dynamic immune cell subsets, BCR/TCR clonal expansion, and SLE - related pathways. This study provides a single - cell landscape of dual - target CAR - T in SLE, offering insights into efficacy and biomarkers.

Project description:Chimeric antigen receptor T-cells (CAR-T) targeting B-cell-maturating-antigen (TNRFSF17, BCMA) show unprecedented overall response rates of up to 100% in heavily pretreated relapsed-refractory Multiple Myeloma (RRMM). However, the efficiency of the treatment is hindered by the rapid emergence of tumor-intrinsic mechanisms of resistance. We herein describe a patient with RRMM and extramedullary disease (EMD) who underwent Idecabtagene vicleucel BCMA CAR-T therapy. The patient rapidly achieved very good partial response including full resolution of EMD, but aggressively relapsed 5 months after CAR T cell infusion. Single cell RNA sequencing and immunohistochemistry on the re-emerging tumor cells demonstrated loss of target expression on mRNA and protein levels, and whole genome sequencing revealed the homozygous deletion of Chr 16p1313, including the BCMA locus. Clonal heterogeneity of BCMA could be observed in 32 RRMM patients from our institution. In three of them heterozygous deletion of BCMA could be confirmed, with none of them having underwent prior anti-BCMA therapy. Thus, our report not only provides first evidence of BCMA loss as the underlying mechanism of disease relapse following BCMA targeted immunotherapy in MM. It furthermore identifies a subset of patients at risk to develop biallelic BCMA inactivation thus linking genomic instability in MM to relapse from targeted immunotherapies.

Project description:Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy has revolutionized the clinical treatment of hematological malignancies due to the prominent anti-tumor effects. B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) CAR-T cells have demonstrated promising effects in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. However, the dynamics of CAR-T cell proliferation and cytotoxicity in a patient remains largely unexplored. Single-cell RNA sequencing samples were collected at three phases: CAR-T products before infusion, CAR-T on day 8 after infusion, and CAR-T on day 15 after infusion. After obtaining the PBMCs for each phase, CAR-T and endogenous T cells were collected by fluorescence-activated cell sorting with anti-Mouse IgG Biotin, FITC Streptavidin, and anti-human CD3 APC.

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:Despite the acknowledged effectiveness of BCMA chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cells in killing multiple myeloma (MM) cells, predicting treatment responsivity to BCMA CAR-T therapy remains a challenge. In this study, we demonstrated that the best overall responses (BORs) of patients over the 15-month follow-up are positively correlated with the abundance and targeted cytotoxic activity of CD8+ effector CAR-T cells on day 28 after CAR-T cell infusion. Additionally, favorable responses are associated with attenuated immunosuppression mediated by regulatory T cells (Tregs), enhanced CD8+ effector T cell cytotoxic activity, and elevated type 1 conventional dendritic cell (cDC1) antigen presentation ability. Our study sheds light on MM microenvironment dynamics after BCMA CAR-T therapy, offering clues for predicting treatment responsivity.

Project description:Multiple myeloma (MM) develops in a hypoxic bone marrow (BM) microenvironment, which alters tumor behavior and immune responses. While hypoxia is known to directly suppress immune function, its effect on immunotherapy-relevant antigen expression and the MM secretome remains underexplored. Here, we investigated how hypoxia affects BCMA expression and BCMA-targeted CAR T cell responses. MM cells cultured under hypoxia (1% O₂) showed reduced BCMA surface and total protein expression, resulting in reduced CAR-mediated signaling. Importantly, the hypoxic tumor secretome further reduced BCMA levels and significantly impaired CAR T cell killing and cytokine production, which was partially reversible by γ-secretase inhibition. To dissect the suppressive nature of the hypoxic secretome, we identified an increase in small extracellular vesicle (sEV) release under hypoxia. RNA profiling of sEVs revealed a hypoxia-induced RNA signature with potential immunomodulatory roles. In conclusion, hypoxia diminishes BCMA expression and enhances secretion of immunosuppressive factors, including sEVs, thereby limiting the efficacy of BCMA CAR T cell therapy in MM.

Project description:B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) is a prominent tumor-associated target for chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy in multiple myeloma (MM). We describe the case of a MM patient, enrolled in the CARTITUDE-1 trial (NCT03548207), who developed a progressive movement disorder with features of parkinsonism approximately three months after BCMA-targeted ciltacabtagene autoleucel CAR-T cell infusion, associated with CAR-T cell persistence in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid, and basal ganglia lymphocytic infiltration. We demonstrate BCMA expression on neurons and astrocytes in the basal ganglia of the patient. Public transcriptomic datasets further confirm BCMA RNA expression in the caudate of normal human brains, suggesting this may be an on-target effect of anti-BCMA therapy. Given reports of three patients with grade ≥3 parkinsonism on the phase 2 cilta-cel trial and of grade 3 parkinsonism in the idecabtagene vicleucel (ide-cel) package insert, our findings support close neurological monitoring of patients on BCMA-targeted T cell therapies.

Project description:We characterize the phenotype and heterogeneity of P-BCMA-ALLO1, a TSCM-predominant allogeneic CAR-T therapy targeting BCMA in heavily pretreated relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. Our analyses showed that P-BCMA-ALLO1 has a high frequency of memory CD8+ T cells, and their abundance correlates with antitumor potency. This finding matches our other observations that memory phenotype and functionality correlates with antitumor efficacy, along with viability and cytotoxicity.

Project description:Applying advanced molecular profiling together with highly specific targeted therapies offers the possibility to better dissect the mechanisms underlying immune mediated inflammatory diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in humans. Here we apply a combination of single cell RNA sequencing and T/B cell repertoire analysis to perform an in-depth characterization of molecular changes in the immune-signature upon CD19 CAR T cell-mediated depletion of B cells in SLE patients. The resulting datasets do not only confirm a selective CAR T cell-mediated reset of the B cell response, but simultaneously reveal consequent changes in the transcriptional signature of monocyte and T cell subsets that respond with a profound reduction in type 1 interferon signaling. Our current data thus provide evidence for a causal relationship between the B cell response and the increased interferon signature observed in SLE and additionally demonstrate the usefulness of combining targeted therapies and novel analytic approaches to decipher molecular mechanisms of immune-mediated inflammatory diseases in humans.
