Application of chimeric antigen receptor modified mesenchymal stem cells in preparation of drugs for treating systemic lupus erythematosus
By expressing the chimeric antigen receptor CAR1 targeting B cells on mesenchymal stem cells and activating the JAK-STAT1 pathway, the individual response variability of MSCs therapy in SLE treatment and the risks of CAR-T therapy were addressed, achieving stable immunosuppressive effects, expanding the scope of application and improving safety.

AI Technical Summary
Existing MSCs therapies for the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) exhibit significant individual variability and are greatly influenced by the inflammatory environment. CAR-T therapy carries clinical risks and side effects, and the applicability of existing gene-modified MSCs therapies is limited.
By using chimeric antigen receptor-modified mesenchymal stem cells (CAR1-MSCs), the CD19 antigen targeting B cells is expressed on the surface of MSCs through genetic engineering and the JAK-STAT1 pathway is activated to achieve stable immunosuppressive function.
CAR1-MSCs exhibit stable B-cell-specific immunosuppressive capacity in vitro, reducing the impact of T-cell activation, expanding the applicability of MSCs therapy, and improving the efficacy and safety of SLE treatment.
