Generation of hypoxia-sensing chimeric antigen receptor T cells.

ABSTRACT: Exploiting hypoxia in solid malignancies to restrict expression of chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) on engineered T cells to the tumor microenvironment overcomes the risk of on-target off-tumor toxicity and minimizes tonic signaling, which promotes CAR T cell exhaustion. This protocol summarizes the synthetic biology underlying the development of a stringent oxygen-sensitive CAR for in vitro and in vivo preclinical characterization. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Kosti et al. (2021).

Next generation chimeric antigen receptor T cells: safety strategies to overcome toxicity.

Project description:Chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy is an emerging and effective cancer immunotherapy. Especially in hematological malignancies, CAR-T cells have achieved exciting results. Two Anti-CD19 CAR-T therapies have been approved for the treatment of CD19-positive leukemia or lymphoma. However, the application of CAR-T cells is obviously hampered by the adverse effects, such as cytokines release syndrome and on-target off-tumor toxicity. In some clinical trials, patients quitted the treatment of CAR-T cells due to life-threatening toxicity. Seeking to alleviate these toxicities or prevent the occurrence, researchers have developed a number of safety strategies of CAR-T cells, including suicide genes, synthetic Notch receptor, on-switch CAR, combinatorial target-antigen recognition, bispecific T cell engager and inhibitory CAR. This review summarized the preclinical studies and clinical trials of the safety strategies of CAR-T cells and their respective strengths and weaknesses.

Engineering T cells with hypoxia-inducible chimeric antigen receptor (HiCAR) for selective tumor killing.

Project description:Chimeric antigen receptor-modified T cells (CAR-T cells) have shown good effects in the treatment of hematologic cancers; however, they may cause on-target off-tumor toxicity because of minimal expression of tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) on normal tissues, particularly in the context of treating solid tumors. Hypoxia is a common hallmark of solid tumors because of the Warburg effect. To minimize side effects, we designed a hypoxia-inducible CAR (HiCAR), which is driven by a hypoxia response element (HRE), and consists of a conventional CAR and an oxygen-dependent degradation domain (ODD) that is actively degraded under normoxia but stabilized under hypoxia. HiCAR-T cells showed enhanced cytotoxicity against tumor cells under hypoxia compared to normoxia in vitro and antitumor efficacy comparable to that of conventional CAR-T cells in vivo. Overall, our study demonstrates the potential of the HiCAR for improving the safety of CAR-T cells to promote the clinical application of CAR-T immunotherapy.

Chimeric Antigen Receptor beyond CAR-T Cells.

Project description:Chimeric antigen receptors (CAR) are genetically engineered receptors that can recognise specific antigens and subsequently activate downstream signalling. Human T cells engineered to express a CAR, also known as CAR-T cells, can target a specific tumour antigen on the cell surface to mediate a cytotoxic response against the tumour. CAR-T cell therapy has achieved remarkable success in treating hematologic malignancies, but not in solid tumours. Currently, extensive research is being carried out to make CAR-T cells a therapy for solid tumours. To date, most of the research interest in the field has focused on cytotoxic T lymphocytes as the carrier of CAR products. However, in addition to T cells, the CAR design can be introduced in other immune cells, such as natural killer (NK)/NKT cells, γδ T cells, mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells, dendritic cells (DC), macrophages, regulatory T cells (Treg), B cells, etc. Some of the CAR-engineered immune cells, such as CAR- γδ T and CAR-NK/NK-T cells, are directly involved in the anti-tumour response, demonstrated in preclinical studies and/or clinical trials. CAR-Tregs showed promising therapeutic potential in treating autoimmune diseases. In particular, B cells engineered with chimeric receptors can be used as a platform for long-term delivery of therapeutic proteins, such as recombinant antibodies or protein replacement, in an antigen-specific manner. CAR technology is one of the most powerful engineering platforms in immunotherapy, especially for the treatment of cancers. In this review, we will discuss the recent application of the CAR design in non-CAR-T cells and future opportunities in immunotherapy.

Suppression of human glioma xenografts with second-generation IL13R-specific chimeric antigen receptor-modified T cells.

Project description:PurposeGlioblastoma multiforme (GBM) remains highly incurable, with frequent recurrences after standard therapies of maximal surgical resection, radiation, and chemotherapy. To address the need for new treatments, we have undertaken a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) "designer T cell" (dTc) immunotherapeutic strategy by exploiting interleukin (IL)13 receptor α-2 (IL13Rα2) as a GBM-selective target.Experimental designWe tested a second-generation IL13 "zetakine" CAR composed of a mutated IL13 extracellular domain linked to intracellular signaling elements of the CD28 costimulatory molecule and CD3ζ. The aim of the mutation (IL13.E13K.R109K) was to enhance selectivity of the CAR for recognition and killing of IL13Rα2(+) GBMs while sparing normal cells bearing the composite IL13Rα1/IL4Rα receptor.ResultsOur aim was partially realized with improved recognition of tumor and reduced but persisting activity against normal tissue IL13Rα1(+) cells by the IL13.E13K.R109K CAR. We show that these IL13 dTcs were efficient in killing IL13Rα2(+) glioma cell targets with abundant secretion of cytokines IL2 and IFNγ, and they displayed enhanced tumor-induced expansion versus control unmodified T cells in vitro. In an in vivo test with a human glioma xenograft model, single intracranial injections of IL13 dTc into tumor sites resulted in marked increases in animal survivals.ConclusionsThese data raise the possibility of immune targeting of diffusely invasive GBM cells either via dTc infusion into resection cavities to prevent GBM recurrence or via direct stereotactic injection of dTcs to suppress inoperable or recurrent tumors. Systemic administration of these IL13 dTc could be complicated by reaction against normal tissues expressing IL13Ra1.

Generation of CD19-chimeric antigen receptor modified CD8+ T cells derived from virus-specific central memory T cells.

Project description:The adoptive transfer of donor T cells that have been genetically modified to recognize leukemia could prevent or treat leukemia relapse after allogeneic HSCT (allo-HSCT). However, adoptive therapy after allo-HSCT should be performed with T cells that have a defined endogenous TCR specificity to avoid GVHD. Ideally, T cells selected for genetic modification would also have the capacity to persist in vivo to ensure leukemia eradication. Here, we provide a strategy for deriving virus-specific T cells from CD45RA(-)CD62L(+)CD8(+) central memory T (T(CM)) cells purified from donor blood with clinical grade reagents, and redirect their specificity to the B-cell lineage marker CD19 through lentiviral transfer of a gene encoding a CD19-chimeric Ag receptor (CAR). Virus-specific T(CM) were selectively transduced by exposure to the CD19 CAR lentivirus after peptide stimulation, and bi-specific cells were subsequently enriched to high purity using MHC streptamers. Activation of bi-specific T cells through the CAR or the virus-specific TCR elicited phosphorylation of downstream signaling molecules with similar kinetics, and induced comparable cytokine secretion, proliferation, and lytic activity. These studies identify a strategy for tumor-specific therapy with CAR-modified T cells after allo-HSCT, and for comparative studies of CAR and TCR signaling.
