Project description:In this data set we include expression data from human CD4+ T cells isolated on day 0, 6, 11 and 24 follow anti-CD3/anti-CD28 magnetic bead stimulation and chimeric antigen receptor transduction. 30 samples were submitted. Samples represented three biological replicates of normal donors transduced with various CARs. CARs used were a cMet 28z specific CAR comprised of the IgG4 hinge, CD28 transmembrane and CD28 and CD3zeta intracellular domains. A CD19 CD28 CAR was specific to CD19, and was comprised of a CD8a hinge, CD28 transmembrane and CD28 and CD3zeta intracellular domain. A third CAR, the CD19 BBz, was used that was specific to CD19 was comprised of a CD8a hinge, CD8a transmembrane and 4-1BB and CD3zeta intracellular domains. Expression data was analyzied on day 0, 6, 11 and 24.

Project description:Major challenges of CAR-T cell therapy include poor antigen sensitivity and cell persistence. Here we report a solution to these issues by exploiting CAR phase separation. We found that incorporation of an engineered CD3e motif, EB6I, to the conventional 28Z or BBZ CAR induced self-phase separation through cation-π interactions. EB6I CAR can form a mature immunological synapse with CD2 corolla to transduce efficient antigen and costimulatory signaling, while its tonic signaling remains at low levels. Functionally, EB6I CAR-T cells exhibited improved signaling and cytoxicity against low-antigen tumor and persistent tumor killing function. In multiple primary and relapsed murine tumor models, EB6I CAR-T cells exerted better antitumor functions than conventional CAR-T cells against blood and solid cancers. This study thus unveils a new CAR engineering strategy to improve CAR-T cell immunity by leveraging molecular condensation and signaling integration.

Project description:Purpose: To compare cell states between control Her2-BBz and JUN-overexpression Her2-BBz human CAR T cells in a mouse model of osteosarcoma. Methods: 8-week old NSG mice were implanted with 1 million 143B osteosarcoma tumor cells intramuscularly in the right leg. 14 days post tumor implantation, mice were infused intravenously with 10 million human CAR+ T cells via tail vein injection. Before T cell transfer, mice were randomized for tumor size and treated with either control Her2-BBz or JUN-overexpressing Her2-BBz CAR T cells. T cells were 70% CAR+ at infusion for both groups. 14 days post T cell treatment (day 28 post tumor engraftment), 6 mice per group were euthanized, solid tumor tissue was collected, mechanically dissociated, and single cell suspensions were labeled with human-CD45 antibody and viability dye. Live hCD45+ tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes were sorted from each tumor and 6 samples were pooled for each group. ~35,000-40,000 sorted live cells (counted post sort) for each group were delivered to the Stanford Functional Genomics Facility for 3' single-cell RNA-sequencing on the 10X Genomics platform. Results: We found that substantially more JUN-overexpressing Her2-BBz CAR T cells were within the G2/M and S phases of the cell cycle than control Her2-BBz CAR T cells, consistent with increased in vivo proliferation of JUN-Her2-BBz CAR T cells. Furthermore, JUN-Her2-BBz CAR T cells also demonstrated a more activated transcriptional program (as measured by IL2RA and CD38), while many exhaustion-associated genes were downregulated (PDCD1, BTLA, TIGIT, CD200, ENTPD1, NR4A2) compared to control Her2-BBz CAR T cells. Finally, a small cluster of cells characterized by high IL7R expression (IL7R+ KLF2+ CD27+ TCF7+ SELL+) was apparent in JUN-overexpressing but not in control Her2-BBz CAR T cells, consistent with maintenance of a memory-like population capable of self-renewal. Conclusions: This study provides insights into cell states that could explain the improved efficacy of JUN-overexpression Her2-BBz CAR T cells compared to control Her2-BBz CAR T cells in a mouse model of osteosarcoma.

Project description:Glucose transporters are the first and rate-limiting step for cellular glucose usage, which is often exacerbated in tumour cells enabling their growth and proliferation. Although inhibiting glucose metabolism in lung tumours could become an efficient treatment strategy, whether and which glucose transporter(s) should be targeted remains unclear because of their possible functional redundancy, and because other nutrients or transporter-independent metabolic processes including autophagy and macropinocytosis can fuel tumour cell growth in certain contexts. Here we show that glucose transporter Glut1 gene deletion in tumour cells does not impact tumour initiation and only slightly delays progression in a genetically-engineered mouse model of lung adenocarcinoma. Using 13C-glucose tracing with correlated nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry (NanoSIMS) and electron microscopy, we report the presence of multiple lamellar body-like organelles produced by tumour cells. Glucose-derived biomass accumulates in these organelles, and this accumulation is decreased in Glut1-deficient tumour cells. Ex vivo, tumour cell glycolysis is impaired in absence of Glut1 except in case of strong expression of another glucose transporter, Glut3. We show that Glut3 is dispensable for Glut1 wild-type tumour development. In contrast, their combined deletion diminishes tumour growth and prevents the appearance of big lesions. Our results demonstrate the requirement for two glucose transporters in lung adenocarcinoma; dual blockade could reach therapeutic responses not achieved by individual targeting.

Project description:Purpose: To compare cell states between CD19-28z and GD2-28z human CAR T cells on day 10 of cell culture. Methods: Human T cells were activated and lentivirally transduced with CD19-28z or GD2-28z CAR constructs and maintained in culture for 10 days, and then delivered to the Stanford Functional Genomics Facility for 3' single-cell RNA-sequencing on the 10X Genomics platform. Results: Comparison of transcription factor profiles by single cell RNA-seq analysis of CD8+ T cells expressing CD19-28z vs. GD2-28z CAR confirmed that the bZIP family members JUN, JUNB, JUND, and ATF4 were among the most differentially expressed and broadly connected in exhausted GD2-28z CAR T cells. Conclusions: This study provides insights into cell states that could explain the underlying differences between highly functional CD19-28z CAR T cells and exhaustion-prone GD2-28z CAR T cells on day 10 in culture.

Project description:The microenvironment of solid tumors is dynamic and frequently contain pockets of low oxygen levels (hypoxia) surrounded by regions of normal oxygen levels. Indeed, a compromised vascular is a is hallmark of the tumor microenvironment, creating gradients of hypoxia. Notably, hypoxia associates with increased metastasis and poor survival in patients. Therefore, to aid therapeutic decisions and better understand hypoxia's role in cancer progression, it is critical to identify endogenous biomarkers of hypoxia to spatially phenotype oncogenic lesions in human tissue, whether precancerous, benign, or malignant. Here, we characterize the glucose transporter GLUT3/SLC2A3 as a biomarker of hypoxia prostate epithelial cells and prostate tumors. Transcriptomic analyses of hypoxic immortalized prostate epithelial cells revealed a highly significant increase in GLUT3 expression. GLUT3 upregulation was also detected by immunostaining in hypoxic prostate epithelial cells and prostate cancer cell lines. Additionally, GLUT3 dramatically co-localized with the hypoxia-marker pimonidazole in xenograft tumors formed from prostate cancer cells and showed distinct concentration gradients within patient-derived xenograft tumors from primary and metastatic prostate cancer. Compared to established hypoxia-response genes, GLUT1 and CA9, GLUT3 shows a higher degree of hypoxia labeling within tumor tissue and may serve as a alternative endogenous biomarker of hypoxia.
