Project description:Expansion of beta cells from the limited number of adult human islet donors is an attractive prospect for increasing cell availability for cell therapy of diabetes. However, while evidence supports the replicative capacity of adult beta cells in vivo, attempts at expanding human islet cells in tissue culture resulted in loss of beta-cell phenotype. Using a genetic lineage-tracing approach we have provided evidence for massive proliferation of beta-cell-derived (BCD) cells within these cultures. Expansion involves dedifferentiation resembling epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Epigenetic analyses indicate that key beta-cell genes maintain a partially open chromatin structure in expanded BCD cells, although they are not transcribed. Here we report that BCD cells can be induced to redifferentiate by a combination of soluble factors. The redifferentiated cells express beta-cell genes, store insulin in typical secretory vesicles, and release it in response to glucose. The redifferentiation process involves mesenchymal-epithelial transition, as judged from changes in gene expression. Moreover, inhibition of the EMT effector SLUG using shRNA results in stimulation of redifferentiation. BCD cells also give rise at a low rate to cells expressing other islet hormones, suggesting transition through an islet progenitor-like stage during redifferentiation. These findings suggest that ex-vivo expansion of adult human islet cells is a promising approach for generation of insulin-producing cells for transplantation, as well as basic research, toxicology studies, and drug screening. Gene expression was studied in unexpanded islets (4 donors), expanded and dedifferentiated islet cells (4 donors), and re-differentiated islet cells (3 donors). The experiment was performed in 3 batches (see Date in the description table below).

Project description:Introduction: Expansion of antigen (Ag)-specific natural occurring regulatory T cells (nTregs) is required to obtain sufficient numbers of cells for cellular immunotherapy. In this study, different allogeneic stimuli were studied for their capacity to generate functional alloAg-specific nTregs. Methods: A highly enriched nTreg-fraction (CD4+CD25brightCD127- T cells) was alloAg-specific expanded using HLA-mismatched immature, mature monocyte-derived dendritic cells (moDC) or peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). The allogeneic mature moDC-expanded nTregs were fully characterized by analysis of the demethylation status within the TSDR of the FOXP3 gene and the expression of both protein and mRNA of FOXP3, HELIOS, CTLA4 and cytokines. In addition, the antigen-specific suppressive capacity of these expanded nTregs was tested. Results: Allogeneic mature moDC and skin-derived DC were superior in inducing nTreg-expansion compared to immature moDC or PBMC in an HLA-DR and CD80/CD86-dependent way. Remarkably, the presence of exogenous IL-15 without IL-2, could facilitate optimal mature moDC-induced nTreg-expansion. Allogeneic mature moDC-expanded nTregs were at low ratios (<1:320), potent suppressors of alloAg-induced proliferation without significant suppression of completely HLA-mismatched-Ag-induced proliferation. Mature moDC-expanded nTregs were highly demethylated at the TSDR within the FOXP3 gene and highly expressed of FOXP3, HELIOS and CTLA4. A minority of the expanded nTregs produced IL-10, IL-2, IFN-g and TNF-a but very few IL-17 producing nTregs were found. Next generation sequencing of mRNA of moDC-expanded nTregs revealed a strong induction of Treg-associated mRNAs. Conclusions: Human allogeneic mature moDC are highly efficient stimulator cells, in presence of exogenous IL-15, for expansion of stable alloAg-specific nTregs with superior suppressive function. Four different batches of highly pure regulatory T cells (all from the same donor) were expanded in two different ways, and compared to non-expanded samples.

Project description:Patient derived anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor-T (CAR-T) cells are a powerful tool in achieving a complete remission in a range of B-cell malignancies, most notably B-acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (B-ALL) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). However, there are limitations, including inability to manufacture CAR-T cells from the patient's own T cells, disease progression and death prior to return of engineered cells. T cell dysfunction is known to occur in cancer patients, and several groups have recently described differences in CAR-T cells generated from chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) patients compared with those from a healthy donor. This is thought to contribute to the low response rate in this disease group. Healthy donor, gene-edited CAR-T cells which do not require human leucocyte antigen (HLA) matching have the potential to provide an 'off the shelf' product, overcoming the manufacturing difficulties of producing CAR-T cells for each individual patient. They may also provide a more functional, potent product for malignancies such as CLL, where T cell dysfunction is common and frequently cannot be fully reversed during the manufacturing process. Here we review the potential benefits and obstacles for healthy donor, allogeneic CAR-T cells.

Project description:PURPOSE OF REVIEW:As T cells engineered with chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) are entering advanced phases of clinical trial testing with promising results, the potential implications of use in an allogeneic environment are emerging as an important consideration. This review discusses the use of allogeneic CAR therapy, the potential effects of T-cell receptor (TCR) signaling on CAR T-cell efficacy, and the potential for TCR elimination to generate an off-the-shelf product. RECENT FINDINGS:The majority of preclinical and clinical data regarding allogeneic T cells are focused on safety of their use given the potential for graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) mediated by the T-cell receptor expressed with the introduced CAR. Recent clinical trials using donor-derived CAR T cells are using either rigorous patient selection or T-cell selection (such as enrichment for virus-specific T cells). Although no GVHD has been reported, the efficacy of the allogeneic CAR treatment needs to be optimized. Several preclinical models limit allogeneic CAR-driven GVHD by utilizing memory T-cell selection, virus-specific T cells, gene-editing techniques, or suicide gene engineering. SUMMARY:In the allogeneic environment, the potential effects of TCR signaling on the efficacy of CAR could affect the clinical responses with the use of donor-derived CAR T cells. Better understanding of the functionality of donor-derived T cells for therapy is essential for the development of universal effector cells for CAR therapy.

Project description:For subgroups of children with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) at very high risk of relapse, intensive multiagent chemotherapy has failed. Traditionally, the field has turned to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for patients with poor outcomes. While HSCT confers a survival benefit for several B-ALL populations, often HSCT becomes standard-of-care in subsets of de novo ALL with poor risk features despite limited or no data showing a survival benefit in these populations, yet the additive morbidity and mortality can be substantial. With the advent of targeted immunotherapies and the transformative impact of CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-modified T cells on relapsed or refractory B-ALL, this approach is currently under investigation in frontline therapy for a subset of patients with poor-risk B-ALL: high-risk B-ALL with persistent minimal residual disease at the end of consolidation, which has been designated very high risk. Comparisons of these 2 approaches are fraught with issues, including single-arm trials, differing eligibility criteria, comparisons to historical control populations, and vastly different toxicity profiles. Nevertheless, much can be learned from available data and ongoing trials. We will review data for HSCT for pediatric B-ALL in first remission and the efficacy of CD19 CAR T-cell therapy in relapsed or refractory B-ALL, and we will discuss an ongoing international phase 2 clinical trial of CD19 CAR T cells for very-high-risk B-ALL in first remission.

Project description:Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy has emerged as one of the major breakthroughs in cancer immunotherapy in the last decade. Outstanding results in hematological malignancies and encouraging pre-clinical anti-tumor activity against a wide range of solid tumors have made CAR T cells one of the most promising fields for cancer therapies. CAR T cell therapy is currently being investigated in solid tumors including glioblastoma (GBM), a tumor for which survival has only modestly improved over the past decades. CAR T cells targeting EGFRvIII, Her2, or IL-13Rα2 have been tested in GBM, but the first clinical trials have shown modest results, potentially due to GBM heterogeneity and to the presence of an immunosuppressive microenvironment. Until now, the use of autologous T cells to manufacture CAR products has been the norm, but this approach has several disadvantages regarding production time, cost, manufacturing delay and dependence on functional fitness of patient T cells, often reduced by the disease or previous therapies. Universal "off-the-shelf," or allogeneic, CAR T cells is an alternative that can potentially overcome these issues, and allow for multiple modifications and CAR combinations to target multiple tumor antigens and avoid tumor escape. Advances in genome editing tools, especially via CRISPR/Cas9, might allow overcoming the two main limitations of allogeneic CAR T cells product, i.e., graft-vs.-host disease and host allorejection. Here, we will discuss how allogeneic CAR T cells could allow for multivalent approaches and alteration of the tumor microenvironment, potentially allowing the development of next generation therapies for the treatment of patients with GBM.

Project description:Adoptive cellular therapy using chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapies have produced significant objective responses in patients with CD19+ hematological malignancies, including durable complete responses. Although the majority of clinical trials to date have used autologous patient cells as the starting material to generate CAR T cells, this strategy poses significant manufacturing challenges and, for some patients, may not be feasible because of their advanced disease state or difficulty with manufacturing suitable numbers of CAR T cells. Alternatively, T cells from a healthy donor can be used to produce an allogeneic CAR T therapy, provided the cells are rendered incapable of eliciting graft versus host disease (GvHD). One approach to the production of these cells is gene editing to eliminate expression of the endogenous T cell receptor (TCR). Here we report a streamlined strategy for generating allogeneic CAR T cells by targeting the insertion of a CAR transgene directly into the native TCR locus using an engineered homing endonuclease and an AAV donor template. We demonstrate that anti-CD19 CAR T cells produced in this manner do not express the endogenous TCR, exhibit potent effector functions in vitro, and mediate clearance of CD19+ tumors in an in vivo mouse model.
