Tumour immune contexture is a determinant of anti-CD19 CAR T-cell efficacy in large B cell lymphoma

ABSTRACT: Axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel), an anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy approved for treatment of relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL), has comparable efficacy across conventional LBCL markers. We analysed whether pre- and posttreatment tumour immune contexture determines clinical outcomes for axi cel–treated patients in the ZUMA-1 pivotal study. Longitudinal evaluation of the tumour microenvironment (TME) uncovered dynamic patterns that occurred rapidly after axi-cel (within 2 weeks) in responders—pronounced enhancement of T- and myeloid cell signatures and diminution of B cell signature. Clinical response and overall survival associated with high CD8+ T-cell density (Immunoscore) and immune gene expression (Immunosign21) in TME pretreatment, which was paralleled by blood CAR T-cell levels posttreatment. High density of regulatory T cells in TME pretreatment associated with reduced axi-cel–related neurologic toxicity. At relapse, the TME evolved toward an immune-detrimental contexture with decreased T-cell–related and increased counterregulatory immune signatures and B cell lineage antigens. A TME rich in T-cell attractive chemokines (CCL5, CCL22), gamma-chain receptor cytokines (IL-15, IL-7, IL-21), and interferon regulated molecules associated with T-cell infiltration and markers of activity, a result validated in 2 independent datasets totalling ≈300 LBCL samples. These findings advance mechanistic understanding of CAR T-cell therapy and foster biomarker development and treatment optimizations.

Impact of Tumor Microenvironment on Efficacy of CD19 CAR T-Cell Therapy or Chemotherapy and Transplant in Large B-Cell Lymphoma

Project description:The phase 3 ZUMA-7 trial in second-line large B-cell lymphoma demonstrated superiority of anti-CD19 CAR T-cell therapy (axicabtagene ciloleucel; axi-cel) over standard of care (SOC; salvage chemotherapy followed by hematopoietic transplantation). Here, we present a prespecified exploratory analysis examining the association between pretreatment tumor characteristics and the efficacy of axi-cel versus SOC. B-cell gene expression signature (GES) and CD19 expression significantly associated with improved event-free survival (EFS) for axi-cel (P=.0002 for B-cell GES; P=.0165 for CD19 expression) but not SOC (P=.9374 for B-cell GES; P=.5526 for CD19 expression). Axi-cel showed superior EFS over SOC irrespective of B-cell GES and CD19 expression (P=8.56e–9 for B-cell GES high; P=.0019 for B-cell GES low; P=3.85e–9 for CD19 gene high; P=.0017 for CD19 gene low). Low CD19 expression in malignant cells correlated with a tumor GES consisting of immune suppressive stromal and myeloid genes, highlighting the inter-relation between malignant cell features and immune contexture substantially impacting axi-cel outcomes. Tumor burden, lactate dehydrogenase, and cell-of-origin impacted SOC more than axi-cel outcomes. T-cell activation and B-cell GES, which are associated with improved axi-cel outcome, decreased with increasing lines of therapy. These data highlight differences in resistance mechanisms to axi-cel and SOC and support earlier intervention with axi-cel.

Single-cell sequencing data for circulating CAR T cells in lymphoma patients

Project description:Purpose: To compare cell states amoung three populations of interest among circulating CAR T cells in patients with lymphoma. Methods: Nine patients with large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) were treated with axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel), a commercial CD19-targeted CAR T-cell therapy. On day 7, fresh peripheral blood mononuclear cells were stained with an antibody panel for fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS), a panel for cellular indexing of transcriptomes and epitopes by sequencing (CITE-seq), and a viability dye. Single live CAR+ T cells were sorted from each patient, counted, processed for 5' single-cell RNA-sequencing with feature barcoding and TCR clonotype analysis on the 10X Genomics platform, and sequenced by the Stanford Genomics Facility (HighSeq 4000) or Novogene (NovaSeq 6000). Results: We found that circulating CD4+ and CD8+ CAR T cells that express CD57 and T-bet are clonally expanded and display features of effector T cells. In contrast, CD4+ CD57- CAR T cells that express Helios expand polyclonally and display features of T regulatory cells. Conclusions: This study provides insights into cell states of circulating CAR T cells on day 7 that associate with clinical response or toxicity in LBCL patients treated with axi-cel.

Baseline Immune State and T cell Clonal Kinetics are Associated with Response to CAR-T Therapy in Large B-cell Lymphoma

Project description:Engineered cellular therapy with CD19-targeting chimeric antigen receptor T-cells (CAR-T) has revolutionized outcomes for patients with relapsed/refractory Large B-Cell Lymphoma (LBCL), but the cellular and molecular features associated with response remain largely unresolved. We analyzed serial peripheral blood samples ranging from day of apheresis (day -28/baseline) to 28 days after CAR-T infusion from 50 patients with LBCL treated with axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel) by integrating single cell RNA and TCR sequencing (scRNA-seq/scTCR-seq), flow cytometry, and mass cytometry (CyTOF) to characterize features associated with response to CAR-T. Pretreatment patient characteristics associated with response included presence of B cells and increased lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (ALC/AMC). Infusion products from responders were enriched for clonally expanded, highly activated CD8+ T cells. We expanded these observations to 99 patients from the ZUMA-1 cohort and identified a subset of patients with elevated baseline B cells, 80% of whom were complete responders. We integrated B cell proportion and ALC/AMC into a two-factor predictive model and applied this model to the ZUMA-1 cohort. Estimated progression free survival (PFS) at 1 year in patients meeting one or both criteria was 65% versus 31% for patients meeting neither criterion. Our results suggest that patients’ immunologic state at baseline affects likelihood of response to CAR-T through both modulation of the T cell apheresis product composition and promoting a more favorable circulating immune compartment prior to therapy. These baseline immunologic features, measured readily in the clinical setting prior to CAR-T, can be applied to predict response to therapy.

Longitudinal single-cell immunoprofiling links durable CAR T response to sustained activation and clonotypic expansion of the native cytotoxic T cell repertoire

Project description:CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has transformed outcomes for patients with relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL), yet the mechanisms underlying durable remission remain incompletely understood. While CAR T-cell persistence is associated with response, long-term remission can occur despite rapid CAR T clearance, suggesting the involvement of additional immune mechanisms. To investigate the role of the native T-cell repertoire in shaping response durability, we performed single-cell RNA and TCR sequencing (scRNA-seq/scTCR-seq) on longitudinal peripheral blood samples from LBCL patients treated with axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel) in the ZUMA-1 trial. We compared immune landscapes and clonotypic dynamics among patients achieving durable remission (>1 year), those experiencing early relapse (<6 months), and those with refractory disease. Patients with long-term remission exhibited increased cytotoxic, proinflammatory, and proliferative native T-cell subsets, while early relapse was associated with immunoregulatory populations that may suppress T-cell activation. TCR profiling revealed robust clonotypic expansion of native cytotoxic T cells post-infusion in durable responders, with expansion patterns strongly predicting clinical outcomes. Notably, TCR screens did not identify known viral targets, suggesting tumor-specific immunity may mediate ongoing remission. These findings propose native T-cell clonotypic expansion as a key determinant of durable response to CAR T therapy and highlight its predictive potential for long-term clinical outcomes.

A polyamine-centric blood-based metabolite panel predictive of poor response to CAR T-cell therapy in large B cell lymphoma

Project description:<p>Anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy for relapsed or refractory (r/r) large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) results in durable response in only a subset of patients. MYC overexpression in LBCL tumors is associated with poor response to treatment. We tested whether a MYC-driven polyamine signature, as a liquid biopsy, is predictive of response to anti-CD19 CAR-T therapy in patients with r/r LBCL. Elevated plasma acetylated polyamines were associated with non-durable response. Concordantly, increased expression of spermidine synthase, a key enzyme which regulates levels of acetylated spermidine, was prognostic for survival in r/r LBCL. A broad metabolite screen identified additional markers which resulted in a 6-marker panel (6MetP) consisting of acetylspermidine, diacetylspermidine and lysophospholipids which was validated in an independent set from another institution as predictive of non-durable response to CAR T therapy. A polyamine centric metabolomics liquid biopsy panel has predictive value for response to CAR-T therapy in r/r LBCL. </p>

Crosstalk between CAR T cell subsets and the tumor microenvironment is essential for sustained cytotoxic activity

Project description:Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy relies on the activity of a large pool of tumor-targeting cytotoxic effectors. Whether CAR T cells act autonomously or require interactions with the tumor microenvironment (TME) is unclear. Here, we report an essential crosstalk between CAR T cell subsets and the TME for tumor control. Using single-cell RNA sequencing, we revealed profound modification of the TME during CAR T cell therapy. IFN-gamma produced by CAR T cells and host-derived IL-12 not only enhanced endogenous T and NK cell activity but were also essential for sustaining CAR T cell cytotoxicity as revealed by intravital imaging. Compared to CD8+ CAR T cells, CD4+ CAR T cells were more efficient at host immune activation but less capable of tumor killing. In sum, CAR T cells are not acting alone in vivo but rely instead on a cytokine-mediated crosstalk with the TME for optimal activity. Invigorating CAR T cell interplay with the host represents an attractive strategy to prevent relapses.

Single-cell genomics segregate different transcriptomic impacts of anti-IL-17A blockade on type 17 T-cells and regulatory immune cells in psoriasis skin

Project description:Durable psoriasis improvement has been reported in a subset of psoriasis patients after treatment withdrawal of biologics blocking IL-23/Type 17 T-cell (T17) autoimmune axis. However, it is not well understood if systemic blockade of the IL-23/T17 axis promotes immune tolerance in psoriasis skin. The purpose of the study was to find translational evidence that systemic IL-17A blockade promotes regulatory transcriptome modification in human psoriasis skin immune cell subsets. We analyzed human psoriasis lesional skin 6 mm punch biopsy tissues before and after systemic IL-17A blockade using the muti-genomics approach integrating immune cell-enriched scRNA-seq (n = 18), microarray (n = 61), and immunohistochemistry (n = 61) with repository normal control skin immune cell-enriched scRNA-seq (n = 10) and microarray (n = 8) data. For the T17 axis transcriptome, systemic IL-17A blockade depleted 100% of IL17A + T-cells and 95% of IL17F + T-cells in psoriasis skin. The expression of IL23A in DC subsets was also downregulated by IL-17A blockade. The expression of IL-17-driven inflammatory mediators (IL36G, S100A8, DEFB4A, and DEFB4B) in suprabasal keratinocytes was correlated with psoriasis severity and was downregulated by IL-17A blockade. For the regulatory DC transcriptome, the proportion of regulatory semimature DCs expressing regulatory DC markers of BDCA-3 (THBD) and DCIR (CLEC4A) was increased in posttreatment psoriasis lesional skin compared to pretreatment psoriasis lesional skin. In addition, IL-17A blockade induced higher expression of CD1C and CD14, which are markers of CD1c+ CD14+ dendritic cell (DC) subset that suppresses antigen-specific T-cell responses, in posttreatment regulatory semimature DCs compared to pretreatment regulatory semimature DCs. In conclusion, systemic IL-17A inhibition not only blocks the entire IL-23/T17 cell axis but also promotes regulatory gene expression in regulatory DCs in human psoriasis skin.

Circulating monocyte counts coupled with a 4-gene signature at leukapheresis predict survival of lymphoma patients treated with CAR T

Project description:CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells can induce durable remissions in relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphomas (R/R LBCL), but 60% of patients still relapse. Biological mechanisms explaining lack of disease-response are largely unknown. To identify mechanisms of response and survival before CAR T manufacturing in 95 R/R LBCL receiving tisagenlecleucel or axicabtagene ciloleucel, we performed phenotypic, transcriptomic and functional evaluations of leukapheresis products (LK). Transcriptomic profiling of T cells in LK, revealed a signature composed of 4 myeloid genes able to identify patients with very short progression-free survival, highlighting the role of monocytes in CAR T therapy response. Accordingly, response and survival were negatively influenced by high circulating absolute monocyte counts at the time of leukapheresis, and the combined evaluation of peripheral blood monocytes and the four-gene signature in LK, identifies LBCL patients at very high risk of progression after CAR T.

Serial single-cell RNA sequencing unveils drug resistance and metastatic traits in stage IV breast cancer

Project description:Background: Drug resistance and metastasis are complex processes that remain poorly understood on the molecular level with single-cell resolution. We profiled the transcriptomic changes at the single-cell level associated with cancer cell progression, chemotherapy resistance, and metastasis in samples from a single de novo Stage IV breast cancer patient. Method: Pretreatment biopsy samples and posttreatment surgical specimens from the primary tumor and distant metastases were collected for single-cell RNA sequencing and subsequent cell clustering, copy number variation (CNV) estimation, transcription factor activity estimation, and pseudotime analyses. Results: CNV estimation analysis identified a small pretreatment cancer cell population that resisted chemotherapy and subsequently expanded. In the posttreatment primary tumors, new clones emerged, which we refer to as potential Metastatic Precursor Cells (MPCs), exhibiting the CNV profiles similar to metastatic cells. MPCs appeared to originate from hypoxic regions in the necrotic core of the tumor and exhibited expression profiles indicative of epithelial–mesenchymal transition. Comparison of MPCs to metastatic cancer cells also revealed dynamic changes in transcription factor activities and calcitonin pathway gene expressions. Conclusion: These findings demonstrate the utility of single-patient clinical sample analysis for clonal adaptations underlying tumor drug resistance, regrowth, and metastasis.
