研究概要

该研究为糖皮质激素耐药 CAR-T 细胞产品的无病毒一体化 GMP 生产奠定了概念验证。

中文摘要

免疫功能低下患者及移植后出现 Epstein-Barr 病毒(EBV)再激活,与发病、死亡及多种恶性疾病发生有关。过继 T 细胞疗法已成为有前景的治疗选择,但移植后的免疫抑制会损害过继转移 T 细胞提供的抗 EBV 保护性免疫监视。

研究者采用一体化 CRISPR/Cas 方法,在符合药品生产质量管理规范(GMP)的平台上,将抗 EBV(gp350)CAR 敲入 T 细胞受体(TRAC)位点,并同时敲除糖皮质激素受体(GR)。

在原代人 T 细胞中,从基因和蛋白水平均确认 CAR 敲入(CAR KI),平均效率为 41%。在 CAR KI 细胞中,额外敲除 GR 的效率很高,达到 83%。在功能层面,CAR KI、GR 敲除 T 细胞对靶点具有特异性效力,表现为细胞因子分泌模式、增殖能力,以及针对表达 gp350 靶细胞的细胞毒活性。CAR KI、GR 敲除 T 细胞还对地塞米松处理不敏感,并保持 T 细胞功能。相反,这些细胞仍对不依赖 GR 的免疫抑制剂环孢素 A(CsA)敏感,因此出现安全问题时仍可对患者采取补救治疗。

本研究提供了概念验证,表明可采用无病毒的一体化方法按 GMP 要求生产耐糖皮质激素 CAR-T 产品。此外,耐糖皮质激素 gp350-CAR-T 细胞未来可能成为移植后 EBV 再激活高危患者,或需接受类固醇治疗的 EBV 相关病变患者的一种治疗选择。

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) reactivation in immunocompromised patients and post-transplantation is associated with morbidity, mortality and with the onset of a variety of malignant diseases. Adoptive T-cell therapies have emerged as promising therapeutic options, but post-transplant immunosuppression jeopardizes the protective anti-EBV immune surveillance by adoptively transferred T cells.

Using an all-in-one CRISPR/Cas-mediated approach, we inserted an anti-EBV (gp350) CAR into the T-cell receptor (TRAC) locus and simultaneously knocked-out the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) on a good manufacturing practice (GMP)-compatible platform.

CAR knock-in (CAR KI ) was confirmed in primary human T cells on genetic and on protein level with a mean efficiency of 41%. With 83%, additional GR knock-out was highly efficient in CAR KI cells. On a functional level CAR KI GR KO T cells showed target-specific potency in terms of cytokine secretion patterns, proliferative capacity and cytotoxic activity against gp350-expressing target cells. Further, CAR KI GR KO T cells were insensitive to dexamethasone treatment and maintained T-cell functionality. In contrast, CAR KI GR KO T cells were sensitive to the GR-independent immunosuppressant cyclosporine A (CsA), thereby providing a rescue treatment for patients in case of safety issues.

The study lays the proof-of-concept for virus-free all-in-one GMP-manufacturing of glucocorticoid-resistant CAR T-cell products. Further, the glucocorticoid-resistant gp350-CAR T cells can provide a future therapeutic option for high-risk post-transplant patients with EBV-reactivations or patients with EBV-associated pathologies requiring steroid treatment.
