Synergically enhanced anti-tumor immunity of in vivo CAR by vaccination-elicited antibody-mediated cellular cytotoxicity boosting

ABSTRACT: Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T cell therapy has shown promise in treating hematologic malignancies. However, it is limited to individualized cell therapy and faces challenges, including high costs, extended preparation time, and limited efficacy against solid tumors. Here, we generated circular RNAs (circRNAs) encoding Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) transmembrane proteins, referred to as circRNACAR, which mediated remarkable tumor killing in both T cells and macrophages. In addition, macrophages exhibited efficient phagocytosis of tumor cells and pro-inflammatory polarization induced by circRNACAR in vitro. We demonstrated that circRNACAR, delivered with immunocyte-tropic lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), significantly inhibited tumor growth, improved survival rates and induced a pro-inflammatory tumor microenvironment in mice. Importantly, the combination of circRNAAnti-HER2-CAR and circRNA-based cancer vaccines encoding the corresponding transmembrane HER2 antigen, termed circRNAHER2, exhibited synergistically enhanced anti-tumor activity. Notably, we found that circRNACAR could boost the level of circRNAHER2-elicited antibodies, which could mediate effective killing of HER2+ tumor cells by macrophages, indicating the potential of vaccination-elicited antibodies in developing novel immunotherapy. This proof-of-concept study demonstrated that the combination of circRNA-based in vivo CAR and vaccines, termed in vivo CAR-VAC, holds the potential to become an upgraded off-the-shelf immunotherapy, and also sheds light on the huge potential of vaccination-elicited antibodies in cancer immunotherapy.

Chimeric antigen receptor macrophages (CAR-M) sensitize HER2+ solid tumors to PD1 blockade

Project description:We previously developed human CAR macrophages (CAR-M) and demonstrated redirection of macrophage anti-tumor function leading to tumor control in immunodeficient xenograft models. Here, we developed clinically relevant fully immunocompetent syngeneic models to evaluate the potential for CAR-M to remodel the tumor microenvironment (TME), induce T cell anti-tumor immunity, and sensitize solid tumors to PD1/PDL1 checkpoint inhibition. In vivo, anti-HER2 CAR-M significantly reduced tumor burden, prolonged survival, remodeled the TME, increased intratumoral T cell and natural killer (NK) cell infiltration, and induced epitope spreading. CAR-M therapy protected against antigen-negative relapse in a T cell dependent fashion, confirming long-term anti-tumor immunity. In HER2+ solid tumors resistant to anti-PD1(aPD1) monotherapy, the combination of CAR-M and aPD1 significantly improved tumor growth control, survival, and remodeling of the TME. These results demonstrate synergy between CAR-M and T cell checkpoint blockade and provide a strategy to enhance response to aPD1 therapy for patients with non-responsive tumors.

Time-dependent enhancement of mRNA vaccines by 4-1BB costimulatory antibodies

Project description:mRNA vaccines have demonstrated efficacy against COVID-19. However, concerns regarding waning immunity and breakthrough infections have motivated the development of next-generation vaccines with enhanced efficacy. In this study, we investigated the impact of 4-1BB costimulation on immune responses elicited by mRNA vaccines in mice. We first vaccinated mice with an mRNA vaccine encoding the SARS-CoV-2 spike antigen like the Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines, followed by administration of 4-1BB costimulatory antibodies at various times post-vaccination. Administering 4-1BB costimulatory antibodies during the priming phase did not enhance immune responses. However, administering 4-1BB costimulatory antibodies after 96 hours elicited a significant improvement in CD8 T cell responses, leading to enhanced protection against breakthrough infections. A similar improvement in immune responses was observed with multiple mRNA vaccines, including vaccines against common cold coronavirus, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and arenavirus. These findings demonstrate a time-dependent effect by 4-1BB costimulation and provide insights for developing improved mRNA vaccines.

Targeting advanced prostate cancer with STEAP1 chimeric antigen receptor T cell and tumor-localized IL-12 immunotherapy [scRNA-seq]

Project description:Six transmembrane epithelial antigen of the prostate 1 (STEAP1) is a compelling tumor-associated cell surface antigen for therapeutic targeting in solid tumors. Here, we identified broad expression of STEAP1 relative to the established theranostic target prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) in a series of lethal metastatic prostate cancers which prompted the development of a STEAP1-directed chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy. STEAP1 CAR T cells demonstrated reactivity in low antigen density, antitumor activity across multiple metastatic human and mouse prostate cancer models, and preliminary safety in a human STEAP1 knock-in mouse model. In human-in-mouse and mouse-in-mouse studies, STEAP1 CAR T cell therapy yielded effective tumor responses, but antigen escape was appreciated as a recurrent mechanism of treatment resistance and STEAP1 antigen loss was associated with diminished tumor antigen processing and presentation. The application of tumor-localized interleukin-12 (IL-12) therapy in the form of a collagen binding domain (CBD)-IL-12 fusion protein as an adjunct to STEAP1 CAR T cell therapy enhanced antitumor efficacy by remodeling the immunologically cold tumor microenvironment of prostate cancer and combating STEAP1 antigen escape through the engagement of host immunity and epitope spreading. In summary, we describe the extent of STEAP1 expression in treatment-refractory metastatic prostate cancer, characterize a STEAP1 CAR T cell therapy with preclinical evidence of potency and safety, and nominate a combinatorial immunotherapy strategy to overcome barriers to the efficacy of CAR T cell therapy in advanced prostate cancer.

Vaccine-primed CAR T-cells reject antigen-heterogenous tumors via host immunity

Project description:Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy effectively treats human cancer, but loss of the antigen recognized by the CAR poses a major obstacle. We found that in vivo vaccine boosting of CAR T-cells triggers engagement of the endogenous immune system to circumvent antigen-negative tumor escape. Vaccine-boosted CAR-T promoted dendritic cell (DC) recruitment to tumors, increased tumor antigen uptake by DCs, and elicited priming of endogenous anti-tumor T-cells (antigen spreading). This process was accompanied by shifts in CAR-T metabolism toward oxidative phosphorylation and was critically dependent on CAR T-derived IFN-γ. Antigen spreading induced by vaccine-boosted CAR T enabled a proportion of complete responses even when the initial tumor was 50% CAR-antigen-negative, and heterogenous tumor control was further enhanced by genetically amplifying CAR T IFN-γ expression. Thus, CAR T-cell-derived IFN-γ plays a critical role in promoting antigen spreading, and vaccine boosting provides a clinically-translatable strategy to drive such responses against solid tumors.

Ad-HER-wt and Ad-HER2-ki infected HMECs

Project description:As an oncogene, use of HER2 vaccines in humans requires the development of HER2 immunotherapies with maximal immunologic potential, but minimal oncologic potential. To address these issues, we developed a recombinant adenoviral vector expressing a mutated HER2 inactivated for kinase function (Ad-HER2-ki). Ad-HER2-ki was highly expressed, but non-phosphorylated and elicited minimal transcription dysregulation in primary cells. In contrast, Ad-HER2-wt elicited a strong oncogenic signature associated with tumorigenesis.

Stimulation of oncogene-specific tumor infiltrating T-cells through combined vaccine and alpha-PD1 enable sustained anti-tumor responses against established HER2 breast cancer (BC) [WXS]

Project description:This study demonstrates two fundamental tenets of immunotherapy: vaccines targeting any tumor antigen will not be as effective as those targeting true oncogenic drivers and neither the stimulation of tumor-specific T-cells nor the blockade of a key immune checkpoint is enough to overcome the layers of immune suppression by itself. It provides single cell genetic evidence that vaccination alone generates a population of CD8 T-cells incapable of long-term tumor control due to the activation of numerous immune dysfunction pathways within the tumor. These promising studies have led to the initiation of a Phase II clinical trial testing a novel HER2 vaccine in combination with Pembrolizumab (NCT03632941) to determine if this combination can elicit effective anti-tumor immunity while minimizing off-target immune responses in patients with advanced HER2+ BC.
