中文摘要

利妥昔单抗(RTX)联合化疗(R-CHOP)作为淋巴瘤一线治疗后,约 40% 患者会复发。因此,针对侵袭性淋巴瘤的新治疗方法正在受到广泛研究。研究人员已建立多种 RTX 耐药(RR)细胞系,作为研究 R-CHOP 耐药的替代模型。

本研究发现,RR 细胞中 CD37 显著下调;CD37 是目前正在探索的免疫治疗靶点。我们利用 CD20 基因敲除(KO)细胞系证实 CD20 和 CD37 可形成复合物,并推测 CD20 的存在可稳定细胞膜上的 CD37。

因此,在 RR 和 CD20 KO 细胞中,抗 CD37 单克隆抗体(mAb)介导的补体依赖性细胞毒作用均减弱,但可通过抑制溶酶体而部分恢复。另一方面,与对照组相比,CD20 KO 细胞对抗 CD37 mAb 的内化速率增加,提示抗体药物偶联物(ADC)的疗效可能不受影响。

重要的是,即使 CD37 水平大幅下调,也不会削弱靶向 CD37 的嵌合抗原受体(CAR)T 细胞疗效。总之,本研究提出了一种新的 CD37 调控机制,并揭示了其对抗 CD37 免疫疗法应用的进一步影响。

Rituximab (RTX) plus chemotherapy (R-CHOP) applied as a first-line therapy for lymphoma leads to a relapse in approximately 40% of the patients.

Therefore, novel approaches to treat aggressive lymphomas are being intensively investigated. Several RTX-resistant (RR) cell lines have been established as surrogate models to study resistance to R-CHOP.

Our study reveals that RR cells are characterized by a major downregulation of CD37, a molecule currently explored as a target for immunotherapy. Using CD20 knockout (KO) cell lines, we demonstrate that CD20 and CD37 form a complex, and hypothesize that the presence of CD20 stabilizes CD37 in the cell membrane.

Consequently, we observe a diminished cytotoxicity of anti-CD37 monoclonal antibody (mAb) in complement-dependent cytotoxicity in both RR and CD20 KO cells that can be partially restored upon lysosome inhibition. On the other hand, the internalization rate of anti-CD37 mAb in CD20 KO cells is increased when compared to controls, suggesting unhampered efficacy of antibody drug conjugates (ADCs).

Importantly, even a major downregulation in CD37 levels does not hamper the efficacy of CD37-directed chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells. In summary, we present here a novel mechanism of CD37 regulation with further implications for the use of anti-CD37 immunotherapies.
