The high affinity Fc receptor provides a unique scaffold for directing T cells against solid cancers

ABSTRACT: The pioneering design of chimeric antigen receptors T-cells (CAR-T) therapy has revolutionized treatments of refractory lymphomas and demonstrated the potential in reprogramming the immune system. Nonetheless, exhaustion, cytotoxicity and suppressive tumor microenvironment limit their efficacy in solid tumors. Moreover, the high sensitivity f CART cells dictate directing it against antigens exclusively expressed on tumor cells. Recently, we characterized a novel subset of tumor-infiltrating CD4 + T-cells that express the high-affinity FcγRI receptor and are capable of antibody-mediated cell cytotoxicity. Here, we provide further analysis of their biology and prevalence in human diseases. We also provide evidences for the presence of CD8 + T cells expressing FcγRI in tumors. While endogenous FcγRI is expressed on exhausted and non-proliferative T cells, ectopic expression in naïve T cells endow them with ADCC capacities. Based on the FcγRI structure, we engineered a novel receptor, allowing T-cells to target tumor cells using antibody intermediates, without the need of TCR recognition. Antibodies provides an ideal mean to discriminate between cells that express high and physiological levels of antigens. Modifications to FcγRI signaling can tune the activation threshold required to elicit T cell cytotoxicity. Here, we further demonstrate the principles and considerations underlying the improvement of the signals transmitted through it. Overall, this work describes the benefits of separating the antigen-binding receptor from the signaling chain and suggests FcRI as a scaffold for cell therapy to overcome CAR T limitations in the treatment of solid tumors.

Project description:Anti-cancer immunotherapy approaches are increasingly coveted. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy has been shown to be an effective treatment for hematological tumors, but the treatment of solid tumors still lacks effectiveness, due to lower intra-tumor infiltration of CAR-T cells and tumor-induced immunosuppression. Macrophages represent a very large proportion of the tumor environment, participate in many aspects to tumor development and therefore represent interesting therapeutic targets. Macrophages can infiltrate solid tumor tissue and interact with almost all cellular components in the tumor microenvironment. In addition, macrophages can also promote a direct anti-tumor response by phagocyting tumor cells. We have developed macrophages expressing a CAR receptor against the HER2 antigen. The CAR receptor possesses an intracellular domain CD3ζ having homology with the protein FcεRI-γ, which once activated by the recognition antibody-antigen, induces the phagocytic activity of macrophages. 72% of macrophages express the CAR after transduction. CAR-M can specifically phagocyte HER2 coated-beads in a much more effective way than WT macrophages. We have then confirmed the capacity of CAR-M to phagocyte HER2+ cancer cell lines. Co-culture of CAR-M with breast cancer tumoroids (HER2+ or HER2-) has also been performed demonstrating their efficacy in a more complex environment. However, in the tumor microenvironment, due to their plasticity, macrophages tend to adopt an anti-inflammatory phenotype losing their anti-tumor activities. We have therefore developed a combined strategy by inhibiting two proprotein convertases, Furin and PC1/3 in CAR-M. The inhibition of furin or PC1/3 induces an increase in pro-inflammatory markers and maintains macrophage activation in the presence of cancer cells. In addition, HER2+ CAR-M with shFurin or shPC1/3 greatly increases the phagocytic activity on Her2+ beads or Her2+ tumors. These enzymes are therefore phenotypic regulators of macrophages. Our strategy is therefore based on a double activation of tumor-infiltrating macrophages. The first one consists in boosting the phagocytic activity of macrophages by having them express a CAR receptor targeting a tumor antigen. The second allows their reprogramming towards a pro- inflammatory phenotype by the inhibition of Furin and/or PC1/3 proprotein convertases

Project description:This model of the use of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy in the treatment of solid tumours is described in the article: "Dual-Target CAR-Ts with On- and Off-Tumour Activity May Override Immune Suppression in Solid Cancers: A Mathematical Proof of Concept" Odelaisy León-Triana, Antonio Pérez-Martínez, Manuel Ramírez-Orellana and Víctor M. Pérez-García Cancers 2021, 13, 703.; doi: 10.3390/cancers13040703 Comment: This is the first mathematical model, derived from equations 1 and 2, used in the paper. Reproduction of Fig. 5a was achieved by setting alpha_1 = 0.04, different to the value quoted in the article caption for Fig. 5. Abstract: Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell-based therapies have achieved substantial success against B-cell malignancies, which has led to a growing scientific and clinical interest in extending their use to solid cancers. However, results for solid tumours have been limited up to now, in part due to the immunosuppressive tumour microenvironment, which is able to inactivate CAR-T cell clones. In this paper we put forward a mathematical model describing the competition of CAR-T and tumour cells, taking into account their immunosuppressive capacity. Using the mathematical model, we show that the use of large numbers of CAR-T cells targetting the solid tumour antigens could overcome the immunosuppressive potential of cancer. To achieve such high levels of CAR-T cells we propose, and study computationally, the manufacture and injection of CAR-T cells targetting two antigens: CD19 and a tumour-associated antigen. We study in silico the resulting dynamics of the disease after the injection of this product and find that the expansion of the CAR-T cell population in the blood and lymphopoietic organs could lead to the massive production of an army of CAR-T cells targetting the solid tumour, and potentially overcoming its immune suppression capabilities. This strategy could benefit from the combination with PD-1 inhibitors and low tumour loads. Our computational results provide theoretical support for the treatment of different types of solid tumours using T cells engineered with combination treatments of dual CARs with on- and off-tumour activity and anti-PD-1 drugs after completion of classical cytoreductive treatments.
