Targeting the mevalonate or Wnt pathways to overcome CAR T-cell resistance in TP53-mutant AML cells

ABSTRACT: TP53-mutant acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic neoplasms (MDS) are characterized by chemotherapy resistance and represent an unmet clinical need. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy might be a promising therapeutic option for TP53-mutant AML/MDS. However, the impact of TP53 deficiency in AML cells on the efficacy of CAR T-cells is unknown. We here show that CAR T-cells engaging TP53-deficient leukemia cells exhibit a prolonged interaction time, upregulate exhaustion markers, and are unable to control AML cell outgrowth in vitro and in vivo compared to TP53 wildtype cells. Transcriptional profiling revealed that the mevalonate pathway is upregulated in TP53-deficient AML cells under CAR T-cell attack, while CAR T-cells engaging TP53-deficient AML cells downregulate the Wnt pathway. In vitro rational targeting of either of these pathways rescues AML cell sensitivity to CAR T-cell-mediated killing. We thus demonstrate that TP53 deficiency confers resistance to CAR T-cell therapy and identify the mevalonate pathway as a therapeutic vulnerability of TP53-deficient AML cells engaged by CAR T-cells, and the Wnt pathway as a promising CAR T-cell therapy-enhancing approach for TP53-deficient AML/MDS.

Project description:Full Title: Multilineage Dysplasia (MLD) in AML correlates with MDS-related cytogenetic abnormalities and a prior history of MDS or MDS/MPN but has no independent prognostic relevance: A comparison of 408 cases classified as “AML not otherwise specified” or “AML with myelodysplasia-related changes” The WHO classification of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is hierarchically structured and integrates genetic information, data on patients’ history, and multilineage dysplasia (MLD). The category “AML with MDS-related changes” (AML-MRC) is separated from AML not otherwise specified (AML-NOS) by the presence of either MLD, MDS-related cytogenetics or MDS history. To clarify whether MLD alone is clinically relevant, we analyzed 408 adult patients categorized as AML-MRC or AML-NOS. EFS (Median 13.8 months vs. 16.0 months) and 3-year-OS (45.8% vs. 53.9%) did not differ significantly between patients with MLD and without. However, MLD correlated with pre-existing MDS (p<0.001) and MDS-related cytogenetics (p=0.035). Patients with MLD as sole AML-MRC criterion (AML-MLD-sole; n=90) had less frequently FLT3-ITD (p=0.032), and a lower median age than AML-NOS (n=232), but EFS, OS, and WBC did not differ significantly. Contrarily, patients with AML-NOS plus AML-MLD-sole (n=323) versus patients with MDS history or MDS-related cytogenetics (n=85) had better EFS (16.9 vs. 10.7 months; p=0.005) and 3-year-OS (55.8% vs. 32.5%; p=0.001). Gene expression profiles were measured for a subset of 96 patients. Analysis of the expression data showed distinct clusters for AML-MLD-sole and AML-NOS versus AML with MDS-related cytogenetics or MDS history. Thus, MLD demonstrated no independent clinical impact, while cytogenetics and MDS history were of prognostic relevance. This data suggest modifications in a revised WHO proposal. All 96 bone marrow samples were obtained from untreated patients at the time of diagnosis. Cells used for microarray analysis were collected from the purified fraction of mononuclear cells after Ficoll density centrifugation.
