Library-based single-cell analysis of CAR signaling reveals drivers of in vivo persistence

ABSTRACT: The anti-tumor function of engineered T cells expressing chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) is dependent on signals transduced through intracellular signaling domains (ICDs). Different ICDs are known to drive distinct phenotypes, but systematic investigations into how ICD architectures direct T cell function—particularly at the molecular level—are lacking. Here, we use single-cell sequencing to map diverse signaling inputs to transcriptional outputs, focusing on a defined library of clinically relevant ICD architectures. Informed by these observations, we functionally characterize transcriptionally distinct ICD variants across various contexts to build comprehensive maps from ICD composition to phenotypic output. We identify a unique tonic signaling signature associated with a subset of ICD architectures that drives durable in vivo persistence and efficacy in liquid, but not solid, tumors. Our findings work toward decoding CAR signaling design principles, with implications for the rational design of next-generation ICD architectures optimized for in vivo function.

Nuclear import of the DSCAM-cytoplasmic domain drives signaling capable of inhibiting synapse formation

Project description:DSCAM and DSCAML1 are immunoglobulin and cell adhesion-type receptors serving important neurodevelopmental functions including control of axon growth, branching, neurite self-avoidance and neuronal cell death. The signal transduction mechanisms or effectors of DSCAM receptors however, remain poorly characterized. We used a human ORFeome library to perform a high-throughput screen in mammalian cells and identified novel cytoplasmic signaling effector candidates including the Down syndrome kinase Dyrk1a, STAT3, USP21, and SH2D2A. Unexpectedly, we further found that the intracellular domains (ICDs) of DSCAM and DSCAML1 specifically and directly interact with IPO5, a nuclear import protein of the beta-importin family, via a conserved nuclear localization signal. The DSCAM ICD is released by gamma-secretase dependent cleavage and both the DSCAM and DSCAML1 ICDs efficiently translocate to the nucleus. Furthermore, RNA-sequencing confirms that expression of the DSCAM as well as the DSCAML1 ICDs alone can profoundly alter the expression of genes associated with neuronal differentiation and apoptosis, as well as synapse formation and function. Gain-of-function experiments using primary cortical neurons show that increasing the levels of either the DSCAM or the DSCAML1 ICD leads to an impairment of neurite growth. Strikingly, increased expression of either full-length DSCAM or the DSCAM ICD, but not the DSCAML1 ICD, significantly decreases synapse numbers in primary hippocampal neurons. Taken together, we identified a novel membrane-to-nucleus signaling mechanism by which DSCAM receptors can alter the expression of regulators of neuronal differentiation, synapse formation and function. Considering that chromosomal duplications lead to increased DSCAM expression in trisomy 21 our findings may help to uncover novel mechanisms contributing to intellectual disability in Down syndrome.

CARPOOL: A library-based platform to rapidly identify next generation chimeric antigen receptors

Project description:CD19-targeted CAR therapies have successfully treated B cell leukemias, but many responders later relapse or experience toxicities. CAR ICDs are key to converting antigen recognition into anti-tumor effector functions. Despite the many possible immune signaling domain combinations that could be included in CARs, almost all CARs currently rely upon CD3, CD28, and/or 4-1BB signaling. To explore the signaling potential of CAR ICDs, we generated a library of 700,000 CD19 CAR molecules with diverse signaling domains and developed a high throughput screening platform to enable optimization of CAR signaling for anti-tumor functions. Our strategy identifies CARs with novel signaling domains that elicit distinct T cell behaviors from a clinically available CAR, including enhanced proliferation and persistence, lower exhaustion, potent cytotoxicity in an in vitro tumor rechallenge condition, and comparable tumor control in vivo. This approach is readily adaptable to numerous disease models, cell types, and selection conditions, making it a promising tool for rapidly improving adoptive cell therapies and expanding their utility to new disease indications.

GPR124 regulates murine CNS angiogenesis and blood-brain barrier formation by an intracellular domain-independent mechanism

Project description:The GPR124/RECK/WNT7 pathway essentially regulates central nervous system angiogenesis and blood-brain barrier (BBB) function. GPR124, a brain endothelial adhesion 7-pass transmembrane protein, associates with membrane RECK, which binds and stabilizes newly synthesized WNT7 for subsequent transfer to Frizzled (FZD) and canonical b-catenin signaling. GPR124 function remains enigmatic; while its extracellular domain (ECD) is required, the poorly conserved intracellular domain (ICD) appears to be variably required in mammals versus zebrafish, potentially mediated by bridging of the GPR124 and FZD ICDs by intracellular adaptor proteins. GPR124 ICD deletion mutants impair zebrafish angiogenesis, but paradoxically still mediate WNT7 signaling upon mammalian cell transfection. We thus further investigated the GPR124 C-terminal ICD by deletion in mice (Gpr124ΔC). Notably, Gpr124ΔC/ΔC mice could be born and did not recapitulate Gpr124-/- embryonic lethal forebrain hemorrhage. GPR124ΔC protein was inefficiently expressed, resulting in mild, hypomorphic, non-hemorrhagic defects in CNS angiogenesis and BBB function, sparing the cortex and only confined to ganglionic eminences. Impaired surface expression of GPR124ΔC directly correlated with reduced endothelial WNT signaling, arguing against an intrinsic signaling deficiency. Further, GPR124ΔC and recombinant GPR124 ECD both rescued WNT7 signaling following brain endothelial Gpr124 knockdown. Thus, in mice, the GPR124 essential regulation of WNT7-dependent CNS forebrain angiogenesis and BBB function is exerted by ICD-independent functionality, extending the range of signaling mechanisms used by adhesion 7-pass transmembrane receptors.

Light-mediated discovery of surfaceome nanoscale organization and intercellular receptor interaction networks

Project description:Delineating the extracellular interaction network of the cell surface proteotype (the surfaceome) is fundamental to understanding cellular signaling function in health and disease. Here, we developed LUX-MS, an optoproteomic technology that enables the spatiotemporal and proteome-wide study of surfaceome signaling architectures at nanoscale level without the need for genetic manipulation. A tunable, light-triggered singlet oxygen generator (SOG) based mechanism mediates in-situ proximity-tagging for subsequent mass spectrometry-based identification of acute protein interactions in their native cellular context. We applied LUX-MS to the characterization of surfaceome signaling structures engaged by antibodies, small molecule drugs, biologics and intact bacteriophages across organisms and in complex environments. Cell-type resolved dissection of intercellular communication using LUX-MS thereby revealed the molecular architecture of functional immunological signaling synapses in unprecedented detail. Altogether, LUX-MS enables facebooking of the social protein networks within surfaceome signaling architectures and provides an unprecedented molecular framework for the rational design of biomedical intervention strategies.

Characterization of the RNA content of chromatin

Project description:We deep sequenced chromatin-associated RNAs (CARs) from human fibroblast (HF) cells. This resulted in the identification of 141 intronic regions and 74 intergenic regions harbouring CARS. We purified CARs from normal HFs by isolating soluble chromatin after MNase treatment, followed by separation of chromatin fragments of different lengths on a sucrose gradient. CARs were converted into double-stranded cDNAs and sequenced using the Illumina Genome Analyzer I.

A RIPK1-specific PROTAC degrader achieves potent antitumor activity by enhancing immunogeniccell death

Project description:Receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) functions as a critical stress sentinel that co- ordinates cell survival, inflammation, and immunogenic cell death (ICD). Although the catalytic function of RIPK1 is required to trigger cell death, its non-catalytic scaffold function mediates strong pro-survival signaling. Accordingly, cancer cells can hijack RIPK1 to block necroptosis and evade immune detection. We generated a small-molecule proteolysis-targeting chimera (PROTAC) that selectively degraded human and murine RIPK1. PROTAC-mediated depletion of RIPK1 deregulated TNFR1 and TLR3/4 signaling hubs, accentuating the output of NF-kB, MAPK, and IFN signaling. Additionally, RIPK1 degradation simultaneously promoted RIPK3 activation and necroptosis induction. We further demonstrated that RIPK1 degradation enhanced the immunostimulatory effects of radio- and immunotherapy by sensitizing cancer cells to treat- ment-induced TNF and interferons. This promoted ICD, antitumor immunity, and durable treatment responses. Consequently, targeting RIPK1 by PROTACs emerges as a promising approach to overcome radio- or immunotherapy resistance and enhance anticancer therapies.

Strong basal/tonic TCR signals are associated with gene expression changes in naive CD4+ T cells

Project description:Naïve T cells constantly experience TCR signals in response to self-peptides presented by MHC (pMHC) in vivo. The intensity of these basal or tonic TCR signals can be indirectly read out by expression of surrogate markers of tonic TCR signaling, including the Nur77-GFP transgene and Ly6c. The strength of tonic TCR signaling varies broadly across the naïve CD4+ T cell population and is correlated with functional heterogeneity.Cells that experience the most basal TCR signaling (Nur77-GFP hi, Ly6c lo) are hyporesponsive to peptide-MHC stimulation. Here we examine whether tonic TCR stimulation is associated with differences in mRNA expression.
