Releasing the mitochondrial respiration brake MCJ/DnaJC15 enhances CD8 CAR-T cell therapy efficacy

ABSTRACT: Metabolism of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells is emerging as an important area to improve CAR-T cell therapy in cancer treatment. Mitochondrial respiration is essential for survival and function of CAR-T cells, but developing strategies to specifically enhance mitochondrial respiration has been challenging. Here we identify MCJ/DnaJC15, an endogenous negative regulator of mitochondrial Complex I, as a metabolic target to enhance mitochondrial respiration in CD8 CAR-T cells. Loss of MCJ in CD8 CAR-T cells increases their in vitro and in vivo efficacy against mouse B cell leukemias. MCJ deficiency in TCR- specific CD8 cells also increases their efficacy against solid tumors in vivo. Furthermore, we reveal that human CD8 cells express MCJ and that silencing MCJ expression increases mitochondrial metabolism and anti-tumor activity of human CAR-T cells. Thus, we demonstrate the unique therapeutic potential of targeting MCJ to enhance the metabolism and efficacy of adoptive T cell therapies.

A genome-scale gain-of-function CRISPR screen in CD8 T cells identifies proline metabolism as a means to enhance CAR-T therapy(Part 1)

Project description:Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell-based immunotherapy for cancer and immunological diseases has made great strides, but it still faces multiple hurdles. Finding the right molecular targets to engineer T cells toward a desired function has broad implications for the armamentarium of T cell-centered therapies. Here, we developed a dead-guide RNA (dgRNA)-based CRISPR activation screen in primary CD8+ T cells, and identified gain-of-function (GOF) targets for CAR-T engineering. Targeted knock-in or overexpression of a lead target, PRODH2, enhanced CAR-T-based killing and in vivo efficacy in multiple cancer models. Transcriptomics and metabolomics in CAR-T cells revealed that augmenting PRODH2 expression re-shaped broad and distinct gene expression and metabolic programs. Mitochondrial, metabolic and immunological analyses showed that PRODH2 engineering enhances the metabolic and immune functions of CAR-T cells against cancer. Together these findings provide a system for identification of GOF immune boosters, and demonstrate PRODH2 as a target to enhance CAR-T efficacy.

Rewiring the Mitochondrial Electron Transport Chain Enhances Tumor Antigen Presentation and Immunogenicity [bulk RNA-seq]

Project description:Loss of antigen presentation by MHCI is a common mechanism of tumor immune evasion. Mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) capacity influences MHCI expression, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we demonstrate that the relative flow of electrons through complex I or II of the mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) regulates MHCI expression and antigen presentation in cancer cells. Specifically, reducing electron flow from complex II increases mitochondrial succinate which activates transcription of MHCI and antigen processing and presentation (APP) genes. These phenotypes are independent of the interferon (IFN) signaling pathway and driven by succinate-mediated enzymatic inhibition of lysine-specific demethylases, KDM5A/B and destabilization of polycomb repressor complex 2 (PRC2). Finally, knockout of the mitochondrial Complex I inhibitor protein, MCJ, preferentially reduces electron flow through Complex II and increases succinate which drives an enhanced antigen-dependent CD8+ T cell response to mouse melanoma tumors in vivo. These findings suggest that the mitochondrial ETC can be manipulated therapeutically to enhance antitumor immune responses independently of IFNγ.

A culture method with berbamine, a plant alkaloid, enhances CAR-T cell efficacy through modulating cellular metabolism

Project description:Memory T cells demonstrate superior in vivo persistence and antitumor efficacy. However, methods for manufacturing less differentiated T cells are not yet well-established. Here, we show that producing chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells using berbamine (BBM), a natural compound found in the Chinese herbal medicine Berberis amurensis, enhances the antitumor efficacy of CAR-T cells. BBM is identified through cell-based screening of chemical compounds using induced pluripotent stem cell-derived T cells, leading to improved viability with a memory T cell phenotype. Transcriptomics and metabolomics using stem cell memory T cells reveal that BBM broadly enhances lipid metabolism. Furthermore, the addition of BBM downregulates the phosphorylation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase and enhanced mitochondrial respiration. CD19-CAR-T cells cultured with BBM also extend the survival of leukaemia mouse models due to their superior in vivo persistence. This technology offers a straightforward approach to enhancing the antitumor efficacy of CAR-T cells.

Analysis of the transcriptomic profiles for HER2 CD8+ CAR T cells-overexpressed FOXO1WT

Project description:T cell exhaustion and metabolic dysfunction induced by chronic antigen stimulation within the tumor microenvironment represent formidable obstacles in CAR T cell therapy for solid tumors. Previously, we developed a method to convert effector/exhausted CAR T cells that emerge from repeated antigen stimulation into stem cell memory-like CAR T (termed CAR-iTSCM) cells. These CAR-iTSCM cells exhibit expression of early memory markers and enhanced mitochondrial metabolism after quiescence under culture conditions containing IL-7, CXCL12, and the NOTCH-ligand. However, we noticed that this strategy was effective for CD19 CAR used for blood cancers, but not for HER2 CAR commonly used to treat solid tumors, due to tonic CAR signals. In this study, we developed a new culture condition for CAR iTSCM cells suitable for HER2 CAR and elucidated the mechanism of induction of stemness and mitochondrial fitness. We found that short-term resting condition with IL-7, CXCL12, and pan-tyrosine kinase inhibitor, Dasatinib can induce stem-like CAR T cells at the epigenetic level and enhance mitochondrial metabolism. We identified FOXO1 as a critical regulator in the process of epigenetic and metabolic reprogramming, and anti-tumor activity. We found that overexpression of FOXO1 leads to enhanced mitochondrial metabolism, efficient CAR T cell expansion, and potent anti-tumor effects through epigenetic modifications. These findings suggest that regulating the transcriptional activity of FOXO1 is a promising strategy for engineering effective CAR T cells for treating solid tumors. In this analysis, we aimed to investigate the effects of FOXO1WT overexpression on the transcriptomic profiles in 4-1BB-based HER2 CD8+ CAR T cells which exhibit tonic signals-induced exhaustion hallmarks.

Gene expression profiles of CAR-T cells engineered with chimeric cytokine receptors to induce JAK-STAT signaling

Project description:The efficacy of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-engineered T cell therapy is insufficient in most cancers. However, enhancing the antitumor T cell response inevitably increases the risk of cytokine release syndrome associated with monocyte-derived IL-6 secretion. In this study, we developed a chimeric cytokine receptor consisting of the extracellular domains of GP130 and IL6RA linked to the transmembrane and cytoplasmic domain of IL-7R mutant (insertion of PPCL) (G6/7R). We also generated a modified receptor with the M452L mutation in the IL7R cytoplasmic domain (G6/7R-M452L). CAR-T cells with G6/7R or G6/7R-M452L efficiently absorbed monocyte-derived IL-6 and induced a superior therapeutic response compared to conventional CAR-T cells. Our strategy can be broadly applied to CAR-T cell therapy to enhance its efficacy and safety, irrespective of the target antigen.

CPI-613 (Devimistat) in Combination With Modified FOLFIRINOX Plus Bevacizumab in Patients With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

Project description:Pre-clinical in vitro and in vivo data as well as early phase 1 clinical trials have shown that both hematologic and solid tumor cells are susceptible to single-agent cytotoxicity by CPI-613 (devimistat), consistent with its selective target of the altered form of mitochondrial energy metabolism in tumor cells, causing changes in mitochondrial enzyme activities and redox status, which lead to apoptosis, necrosis, and autophagy of tumor cells leading to the death of cancer cells. It is our hypothesis that CPI-613 (devimistat) will enhance the efficacy of mFOLFIRINOX plus Bevacizumab when given as a combination treatment. The study will follow a standard 3+3 design. Cohorts of three to six patients will be treated at each dose level until the MTD is defined.
