嵌合抗原受体(CAR)T细胞疗法对实体瘤的疗效有限,其中一个主要挑战是T细胞耗竭。为应对这一挑战,我们利用功能低下的CAR-T 细胞模型进行了候选基因筛选,发现敲除碱性亮氨酸拉链ATF样转录因子(BATF)可改善CAR-T 细胞的抗肿瘤性能。在不同类型的CAR-T 细胞和小鼠OT-1细胞中,BATF缺失使T细胞具有更强的抗耗竭能力和更优的肿瘤清除疗效。在机制上,我们发现BATF在人CAR-T 细胞中结合并上调一部分耗竭相关基因。BATF调控参与效应T细胞和记忆T细胞发育的基因表达,敲除BATF使细胞群体向更偏向中央记忆亚群转变。我们证明BATF是限制CAR-T 细胞功能的关键因子,其缺失增强了CAR-T 细胞对实体瘤的抗肿瘤活性。
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy has limited efficacy against solid tumors, and 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 depletion of basic leucine zipper ATF-like transcription factor (BATF) improved the antitumor performance of CAR-T cells. In different types of CAR-T cells and mouse OT-1 cells, loss of BATF endows T cells with improved resistance to exhaustion and superior tumor eradication efficacy.
Mechanistically, we found that BATF binds to and up-regulates a subset of exhaustion-related genes in human CAR-T cells. BATF regulates the expression of genes involved in development of effector and memory T cells, and knocking out BATF shifts the population toward a more central memory subset.
We demonstrate that BATF is a key factor limiting CAR-T cell function and that its depletion enhances the antitumor activity of CAR-T cells against solid tumors.
