Description

Background of the Invention Technical Field

[0002] The present disclosure relates to the use of chimeric antigen receptor T cells to treat cancer. Background Art

[0004] 1. Chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy

[0005] Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy is a specific form of cell-based immunotherapy that uses engineered T cells to fight cancer. In CAR-T cell therapy, T cells are harvested from the patient's blood, engineered in vitro to express CAR containing an antigen binding domain and a T cell activation domain, expanded to a larger population and administered to the patient. CAR-T cells are used as living drugs that bind to cancer cells and cause the destruction of these cancer cells. When successful, the effects of CAR-T cell therapy tend to last for a long time, as demonstrated by detecting the persistence and amplification of CAR-T cells in patients for a long time after clinical remission.

[0006] 2. CAR structure and function

[0007] The antigen binding domain of CAR is the extracellular region of the surface antigen on the target tumor cell. Suitable target antigens can be proteins, phosphorylated proteins, peptide-MHC, carbohydrates or glycolipid molecules. Ideal target antigens are widely expressed on tumor cells to be able to target a high percentage of cancer cells. Ideal candidate target antigens are also minimally expressed on normal tissues, thereby limiting the on-target toxicity outside the tumor. The antigen binding domain of CAR includes a targeting portion for the target antigen, such as an antibody single-chain variable fragment (scFv).

[0008] The T cell activation domain of the CAR is intracellular and activates T cells in response to the antigen binding domain that interacts with the target antigen. The T cell activation domain can contain one or more costimulatory domains, which are intracellular domains known to activate T cell receptors. Because costimulatory domains have different effects on CAR-T cell dynamics, cytotoxic function, and safety, the choice and location of the costimulatory domain within the CAR construct can affect the function and fate of the CAR-T cell.

[0009] The extracellular antigen binding domain and the intracellular T cell activation domain of CAR are connected by a transmembrane domain, a hinge, and optionally a spacer region. The hinge domain is a short peptide fragment that provides conformational freedom to facilitate binding to the target antigen on the tumor cell. The hinge domain can be used alone or in combination with a spacer domain that designs scFv away from the T cell surface. The optimal length of the spacer depends on the proximity of the binding epitope to the cell surface.

[0010] CAR-T therapy targeting B lymphocyte antigen CD19 ( Novartis has shown promise in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and its CAR-T therapy ("bb2121," and Collaboration) shows promise for relapsed / refractory multiple myeloma. Recent data suggest that CAR approaches can be effective against solid tumors. GD2 CAR natural killer T cell (NKT) therapy has shown activity in neuroblastoma (Heczey A et al. Invariant NKT cells with chimeric antigen receptor provide a novel platform for safe and effective cancer immunotherapy. Blood; 124(18): 2824-33, 2014), and mesothelin CAR-T with pembrolizumab has demonstrated anti-tumor activity in mesothelioma. However, additional targets for the treatment of solid tumors are needed.

[0011] 3. Challenges of CAR-T cell therapy

[0012] Unfortunately, the complexity of CAR-T cell-based therapies may lead to undesirable and unsafe effects. Toxic effects, such as neurotoxicity and acute respiratory distress syndrome, are potential adverse effects of CAR-T cell therapies and may be fatal. Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) is the most common acute toxicity associated with CAR-T cells. When lymphocytes are highly activated and release excessive inflammatory cytokines, CRS occurs. When these factors are measured, serum levels of interleukin-2, interleukin-6, interleukin-1β, GM-CSF and / or C-reactive protein are sometimes observed to increase in patients with CRS. CRS is graded and diagnosed as one of grades 1-4 (mild to severe) according to severity, with the clinical features of more severe cases being high fever, hypotension, hypoxia and / or multi-organ toxicity in patients. One study reported that 92% of patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia treated with anti-CD19 CAR-T cell therapy experienced CRS, and 50% of these patients had grade 3-4 symptoms (Fitzgerald et al., Crit Care Med. 45(2):e124-e131 (2017)).

[0013] Another challenge for successful CAR-T cell immunotherapy is the immunosuppression caused by the characteristics of the tumor microenvironment (TME) of solid tumors. For example, transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) is a pleiotropic cytokine produced by many cell types in the liver (e.g., liver sinusoidal endothelial cells, Kupffer cells, intrahepatic natural killer (NK) cells, etc.) and is present in large quantities in the cancer microenvironment (Dahmani et al., TGF-βin T Cell Biology: Implications for Cancer Immunotherapy. [TGF-β in T cell biology: Impact on cancer immunotherapy] Cancers [Cancer] 2018, 10, 194, 1-21). TGF-β binds to TGFβR2, which recruits and phosphorylates TGFβR1. Once phosphorylated, TGFβR1 then phosphorylates receptor-regulated SMAD (R-SMAD). The complex of phosphorylated SMAD and coSMAD is transferred to the nucleus to help regulate gene expression. In the context of T cells, TGF-β signaling inhibits the effectiveness of CAR-T cell therapy by suppressing T cell proliferation, activation, and effector function and by promoting the differentiation of regulatory T cells. Therefore, TGF-β-related immunosuppression is a major obstacle that must be overcome to achieve effective and durable CAR-T cell therapy for solid tumors.

[0014] 4. Armoring

[0015] The latest approach to making CAR-T cells more resistant to tumor-associated immunosuppression is called "armoring." Armoring is the molecular manipulation of CAR-T cells to express one or more "armor molecules" that can resist immunosuppression. For example, researchers recently reported modifying CAR-T cells to secrete a single-chain variable fragment (scFv) that blocks PD-1, which improved PD-L1 expression. +CAR-T cell antitumor activity in mouse models of hematological and solid tumors (Rafiq, S., Yeku, O., Jackson, H. et al. Targeted delivery of a PD-1-blocking scFv by CAR-T cells enhances anti-tumor efficacy in vivo. Nat Biotechnol 36, 847-856 (2018)). Other studies have shown the effectiveness of armoring T cells with dominant negative type 2 TGF-β receptor (TGFβRIIDN) armor molecules to neutralize the inhibitory effects of TGF-β on T cells (Bollard et al., Tumor-Specific T-Cells Engineered to Overcome Tumor Immune Evasion Induce Clinical Responses in Patients With Relapsed Hodgkin Lymphoma, J Clin Oncol 36(11): 1128-1139 (2018). Currently, at least one clinical study is investigating the effectiveness of armoring anti-PSMA-CAR-T cells with TGFβRIIDN armor molecules for the treatment of castration-resistant prostate cancer (NCT03089203).

[0016] Therefore, additional CAR-T cell therapies are needed to enhance the armamentarium of effective cancer treatment. Such therapies should include CAR-T cell therapies that effectively treat cancer while minimizing the risk of dangerous inflammatory reactions such as CRS. Furthermore, such therapies should include CAR-T cells that can persist in the immunosuppressive TME of solid tumors. Summary of the Invention

[0060] 2. Overview

[0061] The present disclosure relates to compositions and methods for treating cancer using chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) cell therapy. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to CAR cell therapy, in which transformed cells (such as T cells) express, for example, CAR targeting glypican-3 (GPC3). CAR constructs disclosed herein, cells expressing the transformation of these constructs, and the therapy utilizing these transformed cells can provide robust cancer treatment with cytokine release syndrome (CRS) or the risk of minimizing the release of indiscriminate cytokines in non-GPC3 expressing cells.

[0062] Without wishing to be bound by theory, GPC3 is believed to be a viable cancer target in a variety of forms, including bispecific T cell engagers, CAR cells, and monoclonal antibodies and antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). GPC3 is an oncofetal antigen and a GPI-linked heparin sulfate proteoglycan. GPC3 stabilizes the Wnt-Fzd interaction, thereby stimulating Wnt signaling. GPC3 competes with Patched for Hh binding, which relieves Smoothened inhibition and induces GPC3 degradation. Both pathways have been shown to stimulate hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) growth. Furthermore, GPC3 expression levels have been shown to correlate with the stage and grade of HCC.

[0063] Furthermore, GPC3 is believed to be a promising target for CAR cell therapy. Accordingly, antibodies and CAR constructs derived from these antibodies have been developed as described herein.

[0064] Additional aspects of the disclosure include CAR-T cells, such as those targeting GPC3 and those armored with TGFβRIIDN to protect CAR-T cells from TGF-β-related immunosuppression, for example, against solid tumors.

[0065] 3. CAR Construct Design

[0066] The CAR construct of the present disclosure may have several components, many of which may be selected based on the desired or precise function of the resulting CAR construct. In addition to the antigen binding domain, the CAR construct may also have a spacer domain, a hinge domain, a signal peptide domain, a transmembrane domain, and one or more costimulatory domains. Selecting a component rather than another (i.e., selecting a specific costimulatory domain from a receptor, relative to the costimulatory domains from different receptors) may affect clinical efficacy and safety.

[0067] 4. Antigen Binding Domain

[0068] Antigen binding domains contemplated herein may include antibodies or one or more antigen-binding fragments thereof. A contemplated CAR construct targeting GPC3 comprises a single-chain variable fragment (scFv) containing light and heavy chain variable regions from one or more antibodies specific for GPC3, these variable regions being linked together directly or via a flexible linker (e.g., a repeating sequence of GGGGS with 1, 2, 3 or more repeats).

[0069] As disclosed herein, the binding affinity of the antigen binding domain of CAR to the target protein can vary. As compared with antibodies (generally these antibodies are expected to have higher affinity), in the case of CAR, the relationship between binding affinity and therapeutic effect may be more subtle. For example, when compared with low-affinity variants, preclinical studies of receptor tyrosine kinase-like orphan receptor 1 (ROR1)-CAR derived from high-affinity scFv (with a dissociation constant of 0.56nM) lead to an increase in therapeutic index. On the contrary, other examples have been reported, in which engineered scFv improves the distinction between cells with different antigen densities for lower affinity. This can be used to improve the therapeutic specificity of antigens differentially expressed in tumor tissue and normal tissue.

[0070] A variety of methods can be used to determine the binding affinity of an antigen binding domain. In some embodiments, methods that exclude avidity effects can be used. Avidity effects involve multiple antigen-binding sites that interact with multiple target epitopes simultaneously, typically involving multimeric structures. Therefore, avidity functionally represents the cumulative strength of multiple interactions. An example of a method that excludes avidity effects is any method in which one or both of the interacting proteins are monomeric / monovalent, because if one or both partners only contain a single interaction site, multiple simultaneous interactions are impossible.

[0071] 5. Spacer domain

[0072] The CAR construct of the present disclosure may have a spacer domain to provide conformational freedom, thereby promoting binding to the target antigen on the target cell. The optimal length of the spacer domain may depend on the proximity of the binding epitope to the target cell surface. For example, a proximal epitope may require a longer spacer, while a distal epitope may require a shorter spacer. In addition to promoting the binding of CAR to the target antigen, achieving the optimal distance between the CAR cell and the cancer cell can also help to spatially block the entry of large inhibitory molecules into the immune synapse formed between the CAR cell and the target cancer cell. CAR may have a long spacer, a medium spacer, or a short spacer. The long spacer may include a CH2CH3 domain (about 220 amino acids) of immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) or IgG4 (natural, or with common modifications in therapeutic antibodies, such as S228P mutations), and the CH3 region can be used alone to construct a medium spacer (about 120 amino acids). The short spacer may be derived from a segment (<60 amino acids) of CD28, CD8α, CD3, or CD4. The short spacer may also be derived from the hinge region of the IgG molecule. These hinge regions may be derived from any IgG isotype and may or may not contain mutations commonly found in therapeutic antibodies, such as the S228P mutation mentioned above.

[0073] 6. Hinge domain

[0074] CAR may also have a hinge domain. A flexible hinge domain is a short peptide fragment that provides conformational freedom to facilitate binding to a target antigen on a tumor cell. It can be used alone or in combination with a spacer sequence. The terms "hinge" and "spacer" are often used interchangeably - for example, an IgG4 sequence can be considered a "hinge" sequence and a "spacer" sequence (i.e., a hinge / spacer sequence).

[0075] CAR may further include a sequence comprising a signal peptide. The function of the signal peptide is to promote cells to transfer CAR to the cell membrane. Examples include IgG1 heavy chain signal peptide, Ig kappa or lambda light chain signal peptide, granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor receptor 2 (GM-CSFR2 or CSFR2) signal peptide, CD8a signal peptide or CD33 signal peptide.

[0076] 7. Transmembrane domain

[0077] The CAR may further include a sequence comprising a transmembrane domain. The transmembrane domain may include a hydrophobic alpha helix that spans the cell membrane. The properties of the transmembrane domain have not been studied as carefully as other aspects of the CAR construct, but it may potentially affect CAR expression and association with endogenous membrane proteins. The transmembrane domain may be derived from, for example, CD4, CD8α, or CD28.

[0078] 8.Co-stimulatory domain

[0079] CAR may further include one or more sequences forming a costimulatory domain. A costimulatory domain is a domain that can enhance or regulate the response of immune effector cells. A costimulatory domain may include, for example, one or more sequences from CD3ζ (or CD3z), CD28, 4-1BB, OX-40, ICOS, CD27, GITR, CD2, IL-2Rβ, and MyD88 / CD40. The selection of costimulatory domains affects the phenotype and metabolic characteristics of CAR cells. For example, CD28 costimulatory domains produce an effective but transient effector-like phenotype with high levels of cytolytic ability, interleukin 2 (IL-2) secretion, and glycolysis. In contrast, T cells modified with CARs carrying 4-1BB costimulatory domains tend to expand and persist longer in vivo, have increased oxidative metabolism, are not easily exhausted, and have increased production of central memory T cells.

[0080] 9. Cells

[0081] CAR cell-based therapy can be used with a variety of cell types (such as lymphocytes). Available specific cell types include T cells, natural killer (NK) cells, natural killer T (NKT) cells, constant natural killer T (iNKT) cells, αβT cells, γδT cells, virus-specific T (VST) cells, cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) and regulatory T cells (Treg). In one embodiment, the CAR cells used to treat the subject are autologous. In other embodiments, the CAR cells can be from genetically similar but not identical donors (allogeneics).

[0085] 11.CAR Construct Evaluation

[0086] Based on the establishment of safety and persistence and central memory, the construct of the present disclosure is compared and evaluated. Due to its improved safety, low affinity (high dissociation rate) is advantageously assessed scFv, GPC3. Based on the contribution of its improved persistence and favorable in vivo phenotype (more central memory), 4-1BB and CD3z costimulatory domains (both in same construct) are advantageously assessed.

[0129] Table 1. Description of terms

[0130]

[0131] Example 1: TGFβ gene expression and signaling in hepatocellular carcinoma of the liver

[0132] Overview

[0133] In this example, TGFβ1 gene expression and TGFβ signaling were compared in normal liver and liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC).

[0134] method

[0135] Data from the TCGA cohort were used for this analysis.TGFβ1 gene expression and TGFβ signaling signatures in normal liver and tumor tissues from TCGA were compared using t-test. The TGFβ signaling signature was formed by the average expression levels of the following genes: TGFBR1, SMAD7, TGFB1, SMURF2, SMURF1, BMPR2, SKIL, SKI, ACVR1, PMEPA1, NCOR2, SERPINE1, JUNB, SMAD1, SMAD6, PPP1R15A, TGIF1, FURIN, SMAD3, FKBP1A, MAP3K7, BMPR1A, CTNNB1, HIPK2, KLF10, BMP2, ENG, APC, PPM1A, XIAP, CDH1, ID1, LEFTY2, CDKN1C, TRIM33, RAB31, TJP1, SLC20A1, CDK9, ID3, NOG, ARID4B, IFNGR2, ID2, PPP1CA, SPTBN1, WWTR1, BCAR3, THBS1, FNTA, HDAC1, UBE2D3, LTBP2, and RHOA.

[0136] Kaplan-Meier analysis of overall survival (OS) was performed using LIHC data from TCGA. Data were grouped according to high (≥66th) and low (<66th) TGFβ1 gene expression and TGFβ signaling signatures. P values ​​were determined using the log-rank test.

[0137] result

[0138] TGFβ1 gene expression was upregulated 1.74-fold in primary solid tumor cells (LIHC) compared to normal tissues. High TGFβ1 expression in LIHC was associated with shorter OS compared to LIHC expressing low levels of TGFβ1 (median OS: 47 months vs. 70 months, respectively). Figure 1A and 1B .

[0139] TGFβ gene signaling was increased 1.1317-fold in primary solid tumors compared to normal tissues. High TGFβ signaling in LIHC was associated with shortened cell survival compared to low TGFβ signaling. Figure 1C and 1D .

[0140] in conclusion

[0141] These results suggest that increased TGFβ1 gene expression and TGFβ signaling are statistically significantly associated with shortened overall survival in patients with LIHC. Therefore, higher TGFβ1 gene expression and TGFβ signaling may contribute to cancer-related mortality.

[0142] Example 2: TGF-β and signaling in hepatocellular carcinoma of the liver

[0143] Overview

[0144] In this example, the expression of TGFβ and the intensity of TGFβ signaling (p-SMAD2) were compared in normal liver and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) of the liver by immunohistochemical analysis.

[0145] method

[0146] Three normal liver samples and 32 hepatocellular carcinoma samples were stained by immunohistochemistry and scored for intensity. TGF-β1 and pSMAD2 immunohistochemistry was performed on the Ventana discovery platform using anti-TGF-β1 (Abcam) and anti-pSAMD2 (Cell Signaling Technology) antibodies. Pathologists semi-quantitatively scored TGF-β1 and pSMAD2 expression in FFPE normal liver and HCC samples. IHC staining intensity was defined as: score 0, negative staining; score 1, minimal staining; score 2, moderate staining; score 3, strong staining.

[0147] result

[0148] TGF-β was detected in 44% of the tumors and 91% of the stroma of HCC samples. TGF-β signaling, as judged by phospo-SMAD2 (p-SMAD2) intensity, was detected in 91% of HCC samples. Normal liver was negative for TGF-β and pSMAD-2 ( Figure 2 A and 2B).

[0149] in conclusion

[0150] TGF-β is expressed and actively signals in the vast majority of HCC samples, suggesting that it is a common immunosuppressive factor in HCC tumors and targeting it could benefit a large number of HCC patients.

[0151] Example 3: Armoring GPC3 CAR-T cells with TGFβRIIDN

[0152] Overview

[0153] In this example, armoring GPC3 BZ CAR-T cells with TGFβRIIDN was investigated as a potential approach to protect CAR-T cells from TGFβ-mediated immunosuppression to improve CAR-T cell effector function and tumor control rates. Figure 3 A and 3B.

[0154] method

[0155] TGFβRIIDN: A dominant negative type 2 TGF-β receptor molecule was prepared by truncation of the wild-type receptor at residue 194, such that the TGFβRIIDN receptor lacks the intracellular signaling domain.

[0156] Armored CAR-T cells: GPC3 BZ CAR-T cells were armored with TGFβRIIDN by expressing the TGFβRIIDN receptor as a C-terminal fusion to the GPC3 BZ CAR, with a T2A peptide separating the GPC3 BZ CAR and the TGFβRIIDN receptor.

[0157] After expansion, the expression of CAR and TGFβRII on the surface of unarmored and armored CAR-T cells was analyzed by flow cytometry. CAR expression was detected by using AF647 anti-idiotypic antibody against GPC3-CAR ( Figure 4 ).

[0158] After staining with AF647 anti-idiotypic antibody against GPC3-CAR, CAR-T cells were purified with anti-AF647 microbeads (Miltenyi). The purified cells were expanded for more than 5 days, left to stand overnight in the absence of IL-2 and serum, and stimulated with recombinant human TGF-β (1 ng / mL) for the indicated time. The cells were lysed in RIPA buffer containing protease and phosphatase inhibitors, and the expression of the indicated proteins was analyzed by Western blotting. Figure 5 ).

[0159] After staining with AF647 anti-idiotypic antibody against GPC3-CAR, unarmored or armored CAR-T cells were purified with anti-AF647 microbeads (Miltenyi). Purified cells were stimulated with plate-bound recombinant human GPC3 at a specified concentration in the presence or absence of recombinant human TGF-β (0.2 or 5 ng / mL). After 6 hours, cells were harvested and total RNA was obtained from the cells using the RNeasy mini kit (QIAGEN) and reverse transcribed using a high-capacity cDNA reverse transcription kit (Applied Biosystems). Quantitative real-time PCR was performed using the following TaqMan primers: GAPDH, Hs02758991_m1; IL2, Hs00174114_ml and IFNG, Hs00989291_m1 according to the protocol of TaqMan Gene Expression Master Mix (Applied Biosystems). Figure 6 )

[0160] In the presence of 20 ng / mL IL-15 (without IL-2), CAR-T cells were stimulated with anti-CD3 / CD28 beads (Dynabeads). After 3 days, TGFβ (50 ng / mL) was added, and the CD103 expression of cells cultured for more than 3 days was evaluated by flow cytometry (Figure 7).

[0162] Expression of TGFβRII on the surface of TGFβRIIDN CAR-T. Surface staining of TGFβRII on unarmored and armored CAR-T cells was assessed by flow cytometry. Since the extracellular portion is identical, the antibody cannot distinguish between endogenous and DNTGFβRII, but can distinguish between TGFβRII and CAR co-expressed by TGFβRIIDN CAR-T cells, indicating that the antibody is detecting overexpressed DN receptors. Figure 4 .

[0163] TGFβRIIDN inhibits SMAD 2 / 3 phosphorylation in CAR-T cells upon exposure to rhTGFβ: Unarmored CAR-T cells demonstrated rhTGF-β-induced SMAD 2 / 3 phosphorylation similar to that of untransduced control cells at 0, 15, 30, and 45 minutes after rhTGF-β exposure. CAR-T cells armored with TGF-βRIIDN showed attenuated SMAD 2 / 3 phosphorylation at 15, 30, and 45 minutes after rhTGF-β exposure compared to unarmored CAR-T cells and untransduced control cells. Expression of total SMAD 2 / 3 protein and β-actin was consistent across all groups. Figure 5 .

[0164] Expression of TGFβRIIDN prevents TGF-β-mediated reduction in effector cytokine production. Stimulation with recombinant human GPC-3 induced transcription of the effector cytokines IFN-γ and IL-2 in CAR-T cells. When present during stimulation, TGF-β reduced the levels of IFN-γ and IL-2 produced by unarmored CAR-T cells, but not in armored CAR-T cells. This result demonstrates that expression of TGFβRIIDN protects CAR-T cells from the immunosuppressive effects of TGF-β. Figure 6 A and 6B.

[0165] Expression of TGFβRIIDN effectively inhibits TGFβ signaling. CD103- T cells differentiate into CD103 in vitro + T RM IL-15 and TGF-β are required. Therefore, compared with CAR-cells or unarmored CAR-T cells, TGFβRIIDNCAR-T cells cannot differentiate into T cells after incubation with TGF-β. RM cells. This result demonstrates that expression of TGFβRIIDN inhibits TGF-β-induced signaling during prolonged exposure. Figure 7 A and 7B.

[0166] in conclusion

[0167] TGFβRIIDN inhibits TGF-β signaling in armored CAR-T cells, prevents TGF-β-mediated reduction in effector cytokine production, and attenuates TGF-β-mediated differentiation of armored CAR-T cells into T cells. RM Phenotype. Overall, these results demonstrate that expression of dominant negative TGFβRII is sufficient to inhibit TGF-β signaling and its biological effects. Example 3: CAR-T armored with TGFβRIIDN during co-culture with GPC3+ cells

[0168] Cell cytotoxicity and proliferation

[0169] Overview

[0170] In this example, CAR-T cell-mediated cytotoxicity and expansion were compared in UT, unarmored, and TGFβRIIDN-armored CAR-T cells during co-culture with GPC3+ hepatoma cells.

[0171] method

[0172] T cells (20,000 CAR+ cells / well) were co-cultured with a squamous cell carcinoma line engineered to express GPC3 (OE21 cells, 10,000 tumor cells / well) on the xCELLigence eSight RTCA for 5 days to simultaneously monitor real-time tumor cell viability (by electrical impedance) and CAR-T cell density (by microscopy) (see Figure 8 A). T cells (60,000 CAR+ cells / well) were then co-cultured with Hep3B cells (medium / low GPC3 expression) or Huh7 cells (low GPC3 expression) (30,000 tumor cells / well) on xCELLigence RTCA-MP (without microscope) for 5 days (see Figure 8 B) Non-adherent cells were then removed from the wells and assayed using CellTiter- Luminescent cell viability assay (Promega, Madison, WI) was used to quantify viable CAR-T cells (see Figure 8 C).

[0173] result

[0174] Dramatic expansion of CAR-T cells was observed when co-cultured with GPC3+ tumor cells. Figure 8 A. All CAR-T cells effectively killed GPC3+ tumor cells, and co-expression of TGFβRIIDN or addition of exogenous TGF-β did not modulate cytolytic capacity. See Figure 8B. After 5 days of co-culture, TGF-β inhibited the proliferation of tumor GPC3-induced CAR-T cells. However, CAR-T cells armored with TGFβRIIDN were not susceptible to this inhibition. See Figure 8B. Figure 8 C.

[0175] in conclusion

[0176] Armored TGFβRIIDN CAR-T cells showed significant cytotoxicity against GPC3+ tumor cells, indicating that the expression of the dominant negative receptor did not affect the ability of CAR-T to kill target cells in vitro. Conversely, unlike unarmored CAR-T cells, armored TGFβRIIDN CAR-T cells were not susceptible to TGF-β-mediated inhibition of GPC3. + Induced inhibition of proliferation.

[0177] Example 4: In vivo armored TGFβRIIDN CAR-T cell xenograft model

[0178] Overview

[0179] In this example, we determined in vivo that T cells armored with TGFβRIIDN were responsive to GPC3 + The effectiveness of tumor cells.

[0180] method

[0181] The Huh7-TGF-β model of hepatocellular carcinoma overexpressing TGF-β was used to test the in vivo effectiveness of armored TGFβRIIDN T cells in reducing tumor volume. Tumor cells were implanted into the flanks of NSG mice (10 mice / group). When the average tumor volume reached 150 mm 3 When 3, 7 or 21x10 6 The indicated CAR-T cells or 21 million untransduced T cells were injected and tumors were measured every two weeks. Upper panel: Mean tumor volume per group. Lower panel: Tumor volume of each individual mouse at the indicated dose (see Figure 9 ).

[0182] Give 7x10 6 Huh7-TGFβ tumor-bearing mice with CAR-T were analyzed ex vivo. Seven or fourteen days after infusion, tumors and spleens were collected from 5 mice / group. After staining with AF647-labeled anti-idiotypic antibody against GPC3-CAR, the number of CAR+ cells was counted by flow cytometry using AccuCheck counting beads. (See Figure 10 and Figure 11).

[0183] Huh-7-TGFβ tumor-bearing mice were given 7x10 6 Fourteen days after infusion, tumors were harvested and TGFβRII expression on CAR-positive and CAR-negative cells was assessed by flow cytometry. (See Figure 12 ).

[0184] Huh-7-TGFβ tumor-bearing mice were given 7x10 6Fourteen days after infusion, tumors were harvested and the expression of PD1, LAG3, CD27, and CD70 on the surface of CAR-T cells was assessed (see Figure 13 and Figure 14 ).

[0185] Huh-7-TGFβ tumor-bearing mice were given 7x10 6 Fourteen days after infusion, spleens were collected and the expression of PD1, LAG3, CD27, and CD70 was assessed by flow cytometry. (See Figure 15 ).

[0186] Huh-7-TGFβ tumor-bearing mice were given 7x10 6 CAR-T cells. For serum cytokine and AFP analysis, small volumes of blood were harvested at the indicated time points and serum was separated using BD Microtainer serum separator tubes. Cytokine levels were determined using MSD assays, while AFP was assessed by sandwich ELISA. Five mice / group were bled before tumor implantation (baseline A), before CAR-T infusion (baseline B), and on days 7 and 14 after infusion. (See Figure 16 and Figure 17 ).

[0187] result

[0188] Untransduced T cells had no significant effect on tumor growth. At the lowest dose (3 million cells / mouse), treatment with unarmored CAR-T cells resulted in a small reduction in tumor volume, while at higher doses there was a more pronounced effect, leading to complete tumor regression. In contrast, administration of armored TGFβRIIDN CAR-T cells induced a significant reduction in tumor volume and complete regression even at the lowest dose. In addition, progression-free survival was significantly prolonged at all treatment doses of armored TGFβRIIDN CAR-T cells compared to unarmored CAR-T (see Figure 9 ). For infusion, there are 7x10 6 Consistent with the enhanced efficacy, increased numbers of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) were detected in TGFβRIIDN-treated mice 7 days after infusion, indicating a sustained active immune response and associated proliferation (reaching a plateau at day 14 after treatment) (see Figure 10 In contrast, an increase in the number of CAR-T cells was observed in the spleens of mice treated with armored TGFβRIIDN CAR-T cells 14 days after infusion, suggesting that the proliferation of CAR-T cells was enhanced and, therefore, more CARs were detectable in the circulation. + Cells (see Figure 11 ). To investigate whether TGFβRIIDN is detectable on CAR-T cells after in vivo expansion, we analyzed the expression of TGFβRII on TILs and lymphocytes in the spleen 14 days after infusion. Although TGFβRII was barely detectable on unarmored cells, lymphocytes from mice treated with armored CAR-T cells co-expressed CAR and TGFβRII. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that TGFβRII expressed on TGFβRIIDN TILs is a dominant negative receptor that can be detected in vitro after an active immune response and associated antigen-dependent proliferation (see Figure 12 ). Notably, TGFβRIIDN TILs expressed low levels of the exhaustion markers LAG3 and PD1 (see Figure 13 ), which is directly regulated by TGF-β in a SMAD3-dependent manner (Park, BV, Freeman, ZT, Ghasemzadeh, A., Chattergoon, MA, Rutebemberwa, A., Steigner, J. et al. (2016). TGFβ1-Mediated SMAD3 Enhances PD-1 Expression on Antigen-Specific T Cells in Cancer. Cancer Discov, 6(12), 1366-1381). In addition, TGFβRIIDN TILs express less CD70 and conversely more CD27 than unarmored TILs (see Figure 14). This result is consistent with previous evidence showing that TGF-β upregulates CD70 expression and induces exhaustion of effector memory T cells and reinforces the concept that expression of a dominant negative receptor protects CAR-T cells from TGF-β-mediated immunosuppression (Yang, ZZ., Grote, D., Xiu, B. et al. TGF-β upregulates CD70 expression and induces exhaustion of effector memory T cells in B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. [In B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, TGF-β upregulates CD70 expression and induces exhaustion of effector memory T cells] Leukemia [Leukemia] 28, 1872-1884 (2014). https: / / doi.org / 10.1038 / leu.2014.84). Compared with TILs, CAR-T cells in the periphery do not express co-inhibitory markers or CD70, and most are CD27 positive, which is always in an inactive state (see Figure 15 Consistent with the enhanced efficacy and higher TIL numbers, more IFN-γ was detected in the serum of mice infused with TGFβRIIDN CAR-T 7 days after infusion, and the serum concentration of the tumor marker AFP was significantly reduced 14 days after infusion (see Figure 16 and Figure 17 ). This result suggests that expression of TGFβRIIDN increases the efficacy of CAR-T therapy by eliminating the immunosuppressive effects of TGF-β in vivo.

[0189] in conclusion

[0190] Armored TGFβRIIDN-expressing CAR-T cells showed promising results in effectively treating GPC3+ tumors in vivo.

[0191] Example 5: In vivo TGFβRIIDN-armored CAR-T cell-derived hepatocellular carcinoma xenograft model

[0192] Overview

[0193] In this example, we determined that armored TGFβRIIDN CAR-T cells were expressed in many GPC3 + Effectiveness in hepatocellular carcinoma patient-derived xenograft cells.

[0194] method

[0195] This study was conducted by Crown Bioscience Inc. Eight PDX models were selected based on the expression of GPC3 and TGF-β (assessed by IHC and RNA sequencing performed by Crown Bioscience). All the selected models were GPC3 high (IHC score >100), but three of the models did not express TGF-β (IHC score <5), while the other five models were TGF-β positive (IHC score >20). According to Crown Bioscience's research protocol, tumor fragments were harvested from stock mice and used to inoculate NCG mice. Each mouse was inoculated with a specific PDX tumor fragment (3x3x3mm) subcutaneously in the right anterior flank to develop tumors. When the average tumor size reached approximately 150-250mm 3 At 4 hr, mice were randomized into groups. Tumor-bearing mice were given 5 million unarmored or armored CAR-T cells and non-transduced T cells provided by AstraZeneca (5 mice / group), and tumor volume was measured every two weeks. (See Figure 18 and Figure 19 ).

[0196] result

[0197] Tumors grew in mice that received non-transduced T cells. However, in the absence of TGF-β, unarmored and armored cells were equally effective and induced rapid and complete regression in all mice included in the study (see Figure 18 When infused in a TGF-β expression model, unarmored CAR-T cells had a less pronounced effect; in contrast, CAR-T cells armored with TGFβRIIDN were consistently more effective and induced significant tumor regression.

[0198] in conclusion

[0199] PDX models mimic human tumor biology that allows for natural cancer progression. Therefore, these observations confirm and strengthen the evidence obtained with the Huh7-TGF-β xenograft model. Overall, these data suggest that GPC3 CAR-T cells armored with TGFβRIIDN may be a promising candidate for GPC3 + It is an effective in vivo therapy for tumors and can maintain its efficacy even in the presence of the immunosuppressive factor TGF-β.
