Project description:CD19-targeted Chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CART) cells have shown remarkable promise in various B cell malignancies. Sustained tonic signaling and antigen exposure drives CART cell differentiation and exhaustion, which limits the therapeutic potency and persistence of CART cells and is a major cause of CD19-expressing leukemia relapse after CD19-targeted CART cells treatment in ALL. Here, we systematically screened FDA approved tyrosine kinase inhibitors, and identified dasatinib as the best candidate to prevent or reverse both CD28/CART and 4-1BB/CART cells from differentiation and exhaustion during ex vivo expansion, which enhanced the therapeutic efficacy and in vivo persistence. Using RNA-seq, we identified the differentially expressed genes between dasatinib treated group and Nalm6 stimulated group, and found that memory-associated transcription factors TCF7 and naive/memory-associated cell surface marker CCR7 were upregulated, whereas exhaustion-related regulators (NR4A1, BATF3, ATF4 and FOS) and inhibitory receptors (PD1, LAG3) were down-regulated in dasatinib treated CAR T cells. Moreover, T cell activation associated signaling pathways (T cell receptor, Jak-STAT, MAPK and PI3K-Akt) which were upregulated in Nalm6 stimulated CART cells, showed fundamental downregulation in dasatinib treated CART cells. These findings imply that dasatinib played important roles in CART cell differentiation and exhaustion by inhibition of T cell activation pathways.

Project description:Relapses of CD19-expressing leukemia in patients who achieved initial remission after CART cell treatment have been reported to correlate with poor CART cells persistence. Sustained tonic signaling or strong activation drives CART cell differentiation and exhaustion, which limit the therapeutic efficacy and persistence of CART cells. Here, we identified dasatinib as the optimal candidate to prevent or reverse both CD28/CART and 4-1BB/CART cell differentiation and exhaustion during ex vivo expansion, which profoundly enhanced the therapeutic efficacy and in vivo persistence. Moreover, strong activation-induced CART cells differentiation, exhaustion and apoptosis driven by CD3/CD28 stimulation or antigen exposure were dramatically prevented or reversed by dasatinib treatment. Mechanistically, dasatinib markedly reduced the phosphorylation of Src and Lck, and downregulated the expression of genes involved in CAR signaling pathways, which resulted in the optimization of cell differentiation, exhaustion and apoptosis-related gene expression. Our study proposes a promising pharmacological approach for optimizing CART cells manufacture, and provides an experimental basis for reinvigorating CART cells in clinical application.

Project description:Tonic-signaling chimeric antigen receptors drive human regulatory T cell exhaustion
| PRJNA862080 | ENA
Project description:Whether or not human Tregs are susceptible to exhaustion, and if so, if this would limit their therapeutic effect, was unknown. We studied how a tonic-signaling CAR, which induces Tconv exhaustion, affects human Tregs. We thus sorted naïve Tregs and naïve conventional CD4s and transduced them with a non-TS CAR (CD19) or a TS-CAR (HA).

Project description:Purpose: Several ALL subtypes have been described depending on their karyotype, cell type, immunophenotype and gene-expression profile. Recently, a novel ALL subtype has been described and is characterized by expression of the pre-B cell receptor (pre-BCR). Interestingly, half of the cases is associated with the chromosomal translocation t(1:19), coding for the chimeric fusion protein E2A-PBX1, which is present in about 5% of pediatric and adult ALL. Using preclinical models, we and other groups have shown very promising preclinical activity of dasatinib in pre-BCR+ ALL and early clinical evidence supports our observations. To study mechanism of acquired dasatinib resistance, we generated dasatinib-resistant pre-BCR+/E2A-PBX1+ cell lines through multiple passages in the presence of increasing drug concentrations. Whole transcriptome analysis of dasatinib-sensitive and resistant ALL cells were performed to detect systematically differentially expressed genes and enriched pathways involved in dasatinib resistance.

Project description:Gene profiles from three dasatinib-resistant and three dasatinib-sensitive pancreatic cancer cell lines were compared by microarray analysis. RNA from three dasatinib-resistant (MiaPaCa2, Panc1, SU8686) and three dasatinib-sensitive (Panc0504, Panc0403, Panc1005) pancreatic cancer cell lines were extracted. Biological triplicates were employed for each cell line. Complementary DNA microarray analysis was performed using Illumina Human HT-12 v4 BeadChip (Illumina, San Diego, CA) at the National University of Singapore Core Facility following the manufacturer’s instructions.

Project description:Abstract. Background: Glioblastoma is the most common primary malignancy of the central nervous system with dismal prognosis. Differential gene expression classifies IDH-wildtype glioblastoma into three subtypes: proneural, mesenchymal and classical. Dasatinib, an inhibitor of the proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase SRC, is one of many therapeutics that, despite promising preclinical results, has failed to improve overall survival in glioblastoma patients in clinical trials. We examined whether glioblastoma subtypes differ in their response to dasatinib therapy and could hence be used for patient enrichment strategies in clinical trials. Methods: We carried out in silico analyses of the TCGA glioblastoma gene expression data and single-cell RNA-Seq data, in combination with in vitro experiments using glioblastoma stem-like cells (GSCs) derived from primary patient tumors with complimentary gene expression profiling and immunohistochemistry analyses of tumor samples. Results: Patients suffering from the mesenchymal subtype of glioblastoma showed higher SRC pathway activation based on gene expression profiling, and accordingly, mesenchymal cells were more sensitive to SRC inhibition by dasatinib compared to proneural and classical cells. Furthermore, SERPINH1, a heat-shock protein relevant in many cancer entities, was shown to highly correlate with dasatinib response and with the mesenchymal subtype. Notably, SRC phosphorylation status was not able to reliably predict response to dasatinib treatment. Conclusion: This work highlights the need for rational methods of patient selection for clinical trials, and retrospectively sheds light on a possible gene expression subtype-led patient stratification strategy that could have improved the outcome of SRC inhibition in patients and could have implications for future trials.

Project description:Chimeric antigen receptor modified T (CAR-T) cell therapy has limited efficacy against solid tumor, one major challenge is T cell exhaustion. To address this challenge, we performed a candidate gene screen using a hypofunction CAR-T cell model, and found that knocking out BATF improved the performance of CAR-T cells. In different types of CAR-T cells and mouse OT-1 cells, knocking out BATF endows T cells with improved resistance to exhaustion and better tumor eradication efficacy. We find that BATF binds to and up-regulates a subset of exhaustion genes in human CAR-T cells. Furthermore, BATF regulates the expression of genes involved in the development of effector and memory cells, and knocking out BATF shifts the population towards more central memory subset. Therefore, we conclude that BATF is a key factor limiting CAR-T cell function, and its depletion improves CAR-T cells efficacy against solid tumor.
