The purpose of this article is to discuss the rationale of targeting CD123 using chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells for the treatment of leukemia.
CD123 is a leukemia-associated antigen that expresses at high levels in leukemic stem cells and leukemic blasts and low level in normal hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells. Immune-based therapies targeting CD123 are being developed. Preclinical data suggest that CD123 CAR T cells exhibit potent antileukemic activity and various impacts on normal hematopoiesis.
CD123 is an attractive surface target for novel antileukemic therapies. CD123 CAR T-cell-based immunotherapy is a promising treatment for patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia.
本文旨在探讨使用嵌合抗原受体(CAR)T细胞靶向CD123治疗白血病的理论依据。
CD123是一种白血病相关抗原,在白血病干细胞和白血病原始细胞中高表达,而在正常造血干/祖细胞中低表达。针对CD123的免疫疗法正在研发中。临床前数据表明,CD123 CAR T细胞具有强大的抗白血病活性,并对正常造血产生多种影响。
CD123是新型抗白血病治疗的一个有吸引力的表面靶点。基于CD123 CAR T细胞的免疫疗法是复发或难治性急性髓系白血病患者的一种有前景的治疗方法。
