Optimization of CAR T cell signaling by incorporation of null mutations

ABSTRACT: 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.

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

Project description: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.

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.

Single residue in CD28-costimulated CAR-T cells limits long-term persistence and antitumor durability

Project description:Chimeric antigen receptor–T (CAR-T) cell therapies can eliminate relapsed and refractory tumors, but the durability of antitumor activity requires in vivo persistence. Differential signaling through the CAR costimulatory domain can alter the T cell metabolism, memory differentiation, and influence long-term persistence. CAR-T cells costimulated with 4-1BB or ICOS persist in xenograft models but those constructed with CD28 exhibit rapid clearance. Here, we show that a single amino acid residue in CD28 drove T cell exhaustion and hindered the persistence of CD28-based CAR-T cells and changing this asparagine to phenylalanine (CD28-YMFM) promoted durable antitumor control. In addition, CD28-YMFM CAR-T cells exhibited reduced T cell differentiation and exhaustion as well as increased skewing toward Th17 cells. Reciprocal modification of ICOS-containing CAR-T cells abolished in vivo persistence and antitumor activity. This finding suggests modifications to the costimulatory domains of CAR-T cells can enable longer persistence and thereby improve antitumor response.

Gene expression in self-activating- and non-self-activationg CAR-T cells with CD28 or 4-1BB costimulatory domain.

Project description:We observed self-activation of SKM-CAR-T cells which target novel mesothelioma antigen. CAR-T with CD28 costimulatory domain showed signs of exhaustion while those with 4-1BB costimulatory domain did not. To elucidate molecules responsible for self-activation-induced exhaustion, we performed RNA-seq analysis of SKM-CAR-T cells with CD28 or 4-1BB and CD19-CAR-T cells with CD28 or 4-1BB.

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.

Transcriptional signatures of tumor infiltrating CAR-T cells

Project description:We compared the second-generation (CD28, 4-1BB) with the third-generation (CD28-4-1BB) carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX) targeted CAR constructs and investigated the antitumor effect of CAR-T cells with different CD4/CD8 proportion in vivo. The results demonstrated that anti-CAIX G36-4-1BB (BBζ) CAR-T cells exhibited superior efficacy compared to G36-CD28 (28ζ) and G36-CD28-4-1BB (28BBζ) CAR-T cells in a clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) skrc-59 cell bearing NSG-SGM3 mouse model. Tumor infiltrating T cells were recovered and profiled via flow cytometry and 10X genomics single cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq). We found that BBζ CAR-T cells upregulated human leukocyte antigen (HLA) II genes and cytotoxicity associated genes, while, downregulated inhibitory immune checkpoint receptor genes and differentiation of regulatory T cells (Tregs), leading to outstanding therapeutic efficacy in vivo. An increased memory phenotype, an elevated tumor infiltration, and a decrease in exhaustion related genes were observed in the CD4/8 mixture of untransduced T (UNT) cells compared to CD8 only ones, indicating that CD4/8 could be the favored cellular composition for CAR-T cell therapy with long-term persistence. In summary, these findings suggest that anti-CAIX BBζ CAR48 serves as a highly potent clinic translatable cell therapy for ccRCC with enhanced proliferation potential, increased functional capacity, diminished terminal differentiation, as well as durable immune surveillance

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.

TN/SCM pre-selection generates CAR T-cell products driving superior anti-tumor responses while curtailing severe CRS

Project description:Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell expansion and persistence represent key factors to achieve complete responses and prevent relapses. These features are typical of early memory T cells, which can be highly enriched through optimized manufacturing protocols. Here, we investigated the efficacy and safety profiles of CAR T-cell products generated from pre-selected naive/stem memory T cells (TN/SCM), as compared to unselected T cells (TBULK). Notwithstanding their reduced effector signature in vitro, limiting CAR TN/SCM doses showed superior antitumor activity and the unique ability to counteract leukemia re-challenge in hematopoietic stem/precursor cell-humanized mice, featuring increased expansion rates and persistence, together with an ameliorated exhaustion and memory phenotype. Most relevantly, CAR TN/SCM proved to be intrinsically less prone to induce severe cytokine release syndrome, independently of the costimulatory endodomain employed. This safer profile was associated with milder T-cell activation, which translated in reduced monocyte activation and cytokine release. These data suggest that CAR TN/SCM are endowed with a wider therapeutic index compared to CAR TBULK.
