研究概要

这些发现凸显了 CXCR5 与 IL-7 共表达提升 CAR-T 细胞疗法抗骨肉瘤疗效的潜力。

中文摘要

实体瘤血供不足、基质结构复杂且环境具有免疫抑制性,这些因素会抑制 CAR-T 细胞进入肿瘤并在其中存活。既往曾利用 CXCR5 增加 CAR-T 细胞浸润 CXCL13+ 肿瘤。另一方面,IL-7 可改善实体瘤环境中 T 细胞的生存和持久性。

我们构建一种新型 NKG2D CAR(C5/IL7-CAR),使其共表达 CXCR5 和 IL-7。人骨肉瘤细胞系 U-2 OS、143B 和 Mg63 均高表达 MICA/B 和 CXCL13,因此适用于本研究。

与传统 CAR 相比,新型 CAR-T 细胞激活、脱颗粒和细胞因子释放能力更强,因而可裂解更多靶细胞。此外,共表达 CXCR5 和 IL-7 降低 PD-1、TIM-3 和 TIGIT 表达,并增加 Bcl-2 表达。新型 CAR-T 细胞增殖增强,并更倾向分化为干细胞记忆 T 细胞表型。C5/IL7-CAR-T 细胞在小鼠模型中清除骨肉瘤的效果优于传统 CAR-T,且小鼠生存更长。与传统 CAR-T 相比,共表达 CXCR5 和 IL-7 还增加植入肿瘤组织中的 CAR-T 细胞数量、细胞因子释放及存活。机制上,C5/IL7-CAR-T 细胞表现出增强的 STAT5 信号。

这些发现凸显共表达 CXCR5 和 IL-7 提高 CAR-T 细胞治疗骨肉瘤疗效的潜力。

Solid tumors are characterized by a low blood supply, complex stromal architecture, and immunosuppressive milieu, which inhibit CAR-T cell entry and survival. CXCR5 has previously been employed to increase CAR-T cell infiltration into CXCL13+ cancers. On the other hand, IL-7 improves the survival and persistence of T cells inside a solid tumor milieu.

We constructed a novel NKG2D-based CAR (C5/IL7-CAR) that co-expressed CXCR5 and IL-7. The human osteosarcoma cell lines U-2 OS, 143B, and Mg63 highly expressed MICA/B and CXCL13, thus presenting a perfect avenue for the present study.

Novel CAR-T cells are superior in their activation, degranulation, and cytokine release competence, hence lysing more target cells than conventional CAR. Furthermore, CXCR5 and IL-7 co-expression decreased the expression of PD-1, TIM-3, and TIGIT and increased Bcl-2 expression. Novel CAR-T cells show enhanced proliferation and differentiation towards the stem cell memory T cell phenotype. C5/IL7-CAR-T cells outperformed conventional CAR-T in eradicating osteosarcoma in mouse models and displayed better survival. Additionally, CXCR5 and IL-7 co-expression enhanced CAR-T cell numbers, cytokine release, and survival in implanted tumor tissues compared to conventional CAR-T cells. Mechanistically, C5/IL7-CAR-T cells displayed enhanced STAT5 signaling.

These findings highlight the potential of CXCR5 and IL-7 co-expression to improve CAR-T cell therapy efficacy against osteosarcoma.
