T cell malignancies represent a group of hematologic cancers with high rates of relapse and mortality in patients for whom no effective targeted therapies exist. The shared expression of target antigens between chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells and malignant T cells has limited the development of CAR-T because of unintended CAR-T fratricide and an inability to harvest sufficient autologous T cells. Here, we describe a fratricide-resistant "off-the-shelf" CAR-T (or UCART7) that targets CD7+ T cell malignancies and, through CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing, lacks both CD7 and T cell receptor alpha chain (TRAC) expression. UCART7 demonstrates efficacy against human T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) cell lines and primary T-ALL in vitro and in vivo without the induction of xenogeneic GvHD. Fratricide-resistant, allo-tolerant "off-the-shelf" CAR-T represents a strategy for treatment of relapsed and refractory T-ALL and non-Hodgkin's T cell lymphoma without a requirement for autologous T cells.
T 细胞恶性肿瘤是一组血液系统癌症,患者复发率和死亡率高,目前尚无有效的靶向治疗方法。嵌合抗原受体 (CAR) T 细胞和恶性 T 细胞之间共同表达的靶抗原限制了 CAR-T 的发展,因为意外的 CAR-T 自相残杀和无法收获足够的自体 T 细胞。在这里,我们描述了一种抗自相残杀的“现成”CAR-T(或 UCART7),它靶向 CD7+T 细胞恶性肿瘤,并通过 CRISPR/Cas9 基因编辑,缺乏 CD7 和 T 细胞受体α链 (TRAC) 的表达。UCART7 在体外和体内均对人 T 细胞急性淋巴细胞白血病 (T-ALL) 细胞系和原发性 T-ALL 有效,而不会诱导异种移植物抗宿主病 (GvHD)。抗自相残杀、同种异体耐受的“现成”CAR-T 代表了一种治疗复发和难治性 T-ALL 和非霍奇金淋巴瘤的策略,而无需自体 T 细胞。
