Unlocking the Potential of Allogeneic Vδ2 T Cells for Ovarian Cancer Therapy through CD16 Biomarker Selection and CAR/IL-15 Engineering

ABSTRACT: Allogeneic Vγ9Vδ2 (Vδ2) T cells are attractive candidates in the development of cancer therapies due to their demonstrated safety in allogeneic settings and innate ability to fight tumors. However, the limited clinical success of Vδ2 T cell-based treatments may be attributed to donor variability, short-lived persistence, and tumor evasion. To address these limitations, we have generated Vδ2 T cells with improved properties. By utilizing CD16 as a donor selection biomarker, we have generated Vδ2 T cells with high levels of cytotoxicity and potent antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) function, and RNA sequencing characterization supports the increased effector function of Vδ2 T cells obtained from CD16 high (CD16Hi) donors. Further improvement was achieved through CAR and IL-15 engineering techniques. Preclinical studies in two ovarian cancer models showed that engineered CD16Hi Vδ2 T cells are both effective and safe, targeting tumors through multiple mechanisms, exhibiting long-term persistence in vivo, and not causing graft-versus-host disease. These findings support the potential of engineered CD16Hi Vδ2 T cells as a viable cancer therapy option.

Human platelet lysate enhances in vivo activity of CAR-Vδ2 T cells by reducing cellular senescence and apoptosis

Project description:Vγ9Vδ2 T cells are an attractive cell platform for the off-the-shelf cancer immunotherapy due to their lack of alloreactivity and inherent multi-pronged cytotoxicity, which could be further amplified with chimeric antigen receptors (CARs). In this study, we sought to enhance the in vivo longevity of CAR-Vδ2 T cells by modulating ex vivo manufacturing conditions and selecting an optimal CAR costimulatory domain. Specifically, we compared the anti-tumor activity of Vδ2 T cells expressing anti-CD19 CARs with costimulatory endodomains derived from CD28, 4-1BB or CD27 and generated in either standard fetal bovine serum (FBS)- or human platelet lysate (HPL)-supplemented medium. We found that HPL supported greater expansion of CAR-Vδ2 T cells with comparable in vitro cytotoxicity and cytokine secretion to FBS-expanded CAR-Vδ2 T cells. HPL-expanded CAR-Vδ2 T cells showed enhanced in vivo anti-tumor activity with longer T cell persistence compared to FBS counterparts, with 4-1BB costimulated CAR showing the greatest activity. Mechanistically, HPL-expanded CAR Vδ2 T cells exhibited reduced apoptosis and senescence transcriptional pathways compared to FBS-expanded CAR-Vδ2 T cells and increased telomerase activity. This study supports enhancement of therapeutic potency of CAR-Vδ2 T cells through a manufacturing improvement.

Exhausted intratumoral Vδ2- γδ T cells in human kidney cancer retain effector function [scRNA-seq]

Project description:Gamma delta (γδ) T cells reside within human tissues including tumors, but their role in mediating anti-tumor response with immune checkpoint inhibition is unknown. Using single-cell approaches, we found that kidney cancers are infiltrated by diverse Vδ2- γδ T cells, with equivalent representation of Vδ1+ and Vδ1- cells, that are distinct from γδ T cells found in normal human tissues. These tumor-resident Vδ2- T cells can express the transcriptional program of exhausted alpha beta (ab) CD8+ T cells as well as canonical markers of terminal T cell exhaustion including PD-1, TIGIT and TIM-3. While Vδ2- γδ T cells have blunted IL-2 production, they retain expression of cytolytic effector molecules and costimulatory receptors like 4-1BB. Exhausted Vδ2- γδ T cells are comprised of three distinct populations that lack TCF-7, are clonally expanded, express of cytotoxic molecules, and possess multiple Vδ2- TCRs. Human tumor-derived Vδ2- γδ T cells maintain cytotoxic function and pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion in vitro. The transcriptional program of Vδ2- T cells in pre-treatment tumor biopsies predicted subsequent clinical responses to PD-1 blockade in vivo in cancer patients. Thus, Vδ2- γδ T cells within the tumor microenvironment can contribute to anti-tumor efficacy.

Releasing the restraints of Vγ9Vδ2 T-cells in cancer immunotherapy

Project description:Objectives: Vγ9Vδ2 T-cells are a subset of T-cells with a crucial role in immunosurveillance which can be activated and expanded by multiple means to stimulate effector responses. Little is known about the expression of checkpoint molecules on this cell population and whether the ligation of these molecules can regulate their activity. The aim of this study was to assess the expression of both activatory and inhibitory receptors on Vγ9Vδ2 T-cells to assess potential avenues of regulation to target with immunotherapy. Methods: Expression of various activatory and inhibitory receptors was assessed on Vγ9Vδ2 T-cells by flow cytometry following activation and expansion using zoledronic acid (ZA) and Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG). Expression of these markers and production of effector molecules was also examined following co-culture with various tumour cell targets. The effect of immune checkpoint blockade on Vγ9Vδ2 T-cells was also explored. Results: Vγ9Vδ2 T-cells expressed high levels of activatory markers both at baseline and following stimulation. Vγ9Vδ2 T-cells expressed variable levels of inhibitory checkpoint receptors with many being upregulated following stimulation. Expression of these markers is further modulated upon co- culture with tumour cells with changes reflecting activation and effector functions. Despite their high expression of inhibitory receptors when cultured with tumour cells expressing cognate ligands there was no effect on Vδ2+ T-cell cytotoxic capacity or cytokine production with immune checkpoint blockade. Conclusions: Our work suggests the expression of checkpoint receptors present on Vγ9Vδ2 T-cells which may provide a mechanism with the potential to be utilised by tumour cells to subvert Vγ9Vδ2 T-cell cytotoxicity. This work suggests important candidates for blockade by ICI therapy in order to increase the successful use of Vγ9Vδ2 T-cells in immunotherapy.

Upregulation of BTN3A1 on CD14+ cells promotes Vγ9Vδ2 T cells activation in psoriasis vulgaris

Project description:Vγ9Vδ2 T cells play an important role in the development and progression of psoriasis vulgaris (PV), but how they promote skin inflammation and the molecular mechanisms underlying Vγ9Vδ2 T cell dysfunction are poorly understood. Here, we show that circulating Vγ9Vδ2 T cells are decreased and exhibit enhanced proliferation and increased production of IFN-γ and TNF-α in PV patients. Monocytes from PV patients express higher levels of the phosphoantigen sensor butyrophilin 3A1 (BTN3A1) than monocytes from healthy controls. Blockade of BTN3A1 suppresses Vγ9Vδ2 T cell activation and abolishes the difference in Vγ9Vδ2 T cell activation between PV patients and healthy controls. The CD14+ cells in PV skin lesions highly express BTN3A1 and juxtapose to Vδ2 T cells. In addition, IFN-γ induces the up-regulation of BTN3A1 on monocytes. Collectively, our results demonstrate a crucial role of BTN3A1 on monocytes in regulating Vγ9Vδ2 T cell activation and highlight BTN3A1 as a potential therapeutic target for psoriasis.

Transcriptome analysis of blood Vγ9 Vδ2 gdT cells upon TCR and Notch signalling

Project description:We utilized RNA-seq to identify differential gene expression in Vγ9 Vδ2 gdT cells isolated from human PBMCs upon TCR stimulation. We find that ~30% genes are commonly up- and down-regulated between different phosphoantigen treatments (p<0.05). Inhibition of Notch signaling alongside TCR activation results in downregulation of many effector genes in Vγ9 Vδ2 T cells.

Expansion of memory Vδ2 T cells following SARS-CoV-2 vaccination revealed by temporal single-cell transcriptomics

Project description:γδ T cells provide rapid cellular immunity against pathogens. Here, we conducted matched single-cell RNA-sequencing and γδ-TCR-sequencing to delineate the molecular changes in γδ T cells during a longitudinal study following mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. While the first dose of vaccine primes Vδ2 T cells, it is the second administration that significantly boosts their immune response. Specifically, the second vaccination uncovers memory features of Vδ2 T cells, shaped by the induction of AP-1 family transcription factors and characterized by a convergent central memory signature, clonal expansion, and an enhanced effector potential. This temporally distinct effector response of Vδ2 T cells was also confirmed in vitro upon stimulation with SARS-CoV-2 spike-peptides. Indeed, the second challenge triggers a significantly higher production of IFNγ by Vδ2 T cells. Collectively, our findings suggest that mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccination might benefit from the establishment of long-lasting central memory Vδ2 T cells to confer protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection.

High-specificity CRISPR-mediated genome engineering in CB-011, an anti-BCMA allogeneic CAR-T cell, suppresses allograft rejection in preclinical models

Project description:Allogeneic chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapies hold the potential to overcome many of the challenges associated with patient-derived (autologous) CAR-T cells. Key considerations in the development of allogeneic CAR-T cell therapies include prevention of GvHD and suppression of allograft rejection. Here we describe preclinical data supporting the ongoing first-in-human clinical trial (CaMMouflage) in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma patients evaluating CB-011, a hypoimmunogenic, allogeneic anti–B cell maturation antigen (BCMA) CAR-T cell therapy candidate. CB-011 cells feature 4 genomic alterations and were engineered from healthy donor-derived T cells using a Cas12a CRISPR hybrid RNA-DNA (chRDNA) genome-editing technology platform. To address allograft rejection, CAR-T cells were engineered to prevent endogenous human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I complex expression and overexpress a single-chain polyprotein complex composed of beta-2 microglobulin (B2M) tethered to HLA-E. Additionally, T cell receptor expression was disrupted at the T cell receptor alpha constant locus in combination with the site-specific insertion of a humanized BCMA-specific CAR. CB-011 cells exhibited robust plasmablast cytotoxicity in vitro in a mixed lymphocyte reaction in cell co-cultures derived from patients with multiple myeloma. Additionally, CB-011 cells demonstrated suppressed recognition by and cytotoxicity from HLA-mismatched T cells. CB-011 cells were protected from natural killer (NK) cell–mediated cytotoxicity in vitro and in vivo due to endogenous promoter-driven expression of B2M–HLA-E. Potent antitumor efficacy, when combined with an immune-cloaking armoring strategy to dampen allograft rejection, offers optimized therapeutic potential in multiple myeloma.
