Dynamic chromatin regulatory landscape of human CAR T cell exhaustion [ATAC-seq]

ABSTRACT: Dysfunction in T cells limits the efficacy of cancer immunotherapy. We profiled the epigenome, transcriptome, and enhancer connectome of exhaustion-prone GD2-targeting HA-28z chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells and control CD19-targeting CAR T cells, which present less exhaustion-inducing tonic signaling, at multiple points during their ex vivo expansion. We found widespread, dynamic changes in chromatin accessibility and 3D chromosome conformation preceding changes in gene expression, notably at loci proximal to exhaustion-associated genes such as PDCD1, CTLA4, and HAVCR2, and increased DNA motif access for AP-1 family transcription factors, which are known to promote exhaustion. Although T cell exhaustion has been studied in detail in mouse, we find that the regulatory networks of T cell exhaustion differ between the species and involve distinct loci of accessible chromatin and cis-regulated target genes in human CAR T cell exhaustion. Deletion of exhaustion-specific candidate enhancers of PDCD1 suppress the expression of PD-1 in an in vitro model of T cell dysfunction and in HA-28z CAR T cells, suggesting enhancer editing as a path forward in improving cancer immunotherapy.

Dynamic chromatin regulatory landscape of human CAR T cell exhaustion [HiChIP]

Single-cell gene expression in CD19-specific and GD2-specific CAR T cells on day 10 in culture.

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.

CAR affinity modulates the sensitivity of CAR-T cells to PD-1/PD-L1-mediated inhibition.

Project description:The objective of this experiment was to characterized the molecular mechanisms behind the different effects of PD-1 disruption in low affinity (LA) and high affinity (HA) HER2-28z CAR-T cells. The transcriptomic profile of mock and PD-1 KO CAR-T cells following antigen recognition was compared by using the nCounter® CAR-T Characterization Gene Expression Panel (Nanostring). RNA samples were isolated from CAR-T cells generated from three independent donors.

GLUT1 overexpression enhances CAR T cell metabolic fitness and anti-tumor efficacy

Project description:The tumor microenvironment presents many obstacles to effective CAR T cell therapy, including glucose competition from tumor and myeloid cells. Using mouse models of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), renal cell carcinoma (RCC), and glioblastoma (GBM), we show that enforced expression of the glucose transporter GLUT1 enhances anti-tumor efficacy and promotes favorable CAR T cell phenotypes for two clinically relevant CAR designs, 19-28z and IL13Ra2-BBz. In the NALM6 ALL model, 19-28z-GLUT1 promotes Tscm formation and prolongs survival. RNA sequencing of these CAR T cells reveals that overexpression of GLUT1, but not GLUT3, enriches for genes involved in glycolysis, mitochondrial respiration, and memory precursor phenotypes. Extending these data, 19-28z-GLUT1 CAR T cells improve tumor control and response to rechallenge in an RCC patient derived xenograft model. Furthermore, IL13Ra2-BBz CAR T cells overexpressing GLUT1 prolong survival of mice bearing orthotopic GBMs and exhibit decreased exhaustion markers. This novel engineering approach can offer a competitive advantage to CAR T cells in harsh tumor environments where glucose is limiting.

ATAC-seq profiling of human Tregs and conventional CD4+ cells that were transduced with a non-tonic signaling (CD19) or a tonic signaling (HA) CAR

Project description:Whether or not human Tregs are susceptible to exhaustion, and if so, if this would limit their therapeutic effect, was unknown. We studied how a tonic-signaling CAR, which induce Tconv exhaustion, affect human Tregs. We thus sorted naïve Tregs and naïve conventional CD4s and transduced them with a non-TS CAR (CD19) or a TS-CAR (HA).

RNA-seq profiling of human Tregs and conventional CD4+ cells that were left untransduced or transduced with a non-tonic signaling (CD19) or a tonic signaling (HA) CAR

Project description:Whether or not human Tregs are susceptible to exhaustion, and if so, if this would limit their therapeutic effect, was unknown. We studied how a tonic-signaling CAR, which induce Tconv exhaustion, affect human Tregs. We thus sorted naïve Tregs and naïve conventional CD4s and either left them untransduced (UT) or transduced them with a non-TS CAR (CD19) or a TS-CAR (HA). After 12 days in culture, we isolated their RNA and did RNA sequencing.

IL-2Rα-biased, but not βγ-biased, agonist reprograms tumor immune landscape and synergize with αPD-1 therapy

Project description:We investigated whether exogenous supplies of different IL-2R agonists (IL-2wt, IL-2nα or IL-2α-bias) at the concentration of 3 mg/g body weight could rescue the transcriptional signatures of dysfunctional T cells in large tumors, or allow them to regain sensitivity to αPD-1 antibody. Remarkably, after transient stimulation by IL-2wt, large tumors fully restored the effector/activation signatures observed in small tumors, such as upregulation of effector genes (Gzma, Gzmb, Gzmk and Ifng), T cell activation/exhaustion genes (Ctla4, Pdcd1, Lag3 and Havcr2), inflammatory cytokine/cytokine receptors (Il2ra, Il2rb, Il2rg and Il21r), and chemokines (Cxcl9, Cxcl10 and Ccl19) (Fig.7d). Surprisingly, although IL-2α-bias had >10-fold weaker in vitro activity than IL-2wt, and could only activate the small fraction of CD25-upregulated CD8+Teff cells, the transcriptional profiles were indistinguishable between IL-2wt and IL-2α-bias treated large tumors. In stark contrast, IL-2nα treatment showed no meaningful transcriptional changes in large tumors compared to untreated control. These results once again demonstrate the critical role of CD25 in transmitting IL-2 signaling to reprogram the tumor immune microenvironment.
