CAR-T cells are a powerful yet expensive tool in cancer immunotherapy. Although their use in targeting hematological malignancies is well established, using a single CAR-T cell therapy to treat both hematological and solid tumors, which can reduce cost, remains largely unexplored. In this study, we identified CD155, an adhesion molecule that is upregulated during tumor progression, as a target for CAR-T cell therapy in both leukemia and solid tumors. We engineered CAR-T cells using human and mouse anti-CD155 antibodies generated from a Berkeley Lights' Beacon platform. These CAR-T cells demonstrated potent antitumor activity, significantly reducing tumor burden in preclinical models of acute myeloid leukemia, non-small cell lung cancer, and pancreatic cancer. To reduce potential allogeneic rejection, we generated CAR-T cells using humanized anti-CD155 antibody sequences that retained efficacy. Additionally, murine CAR-T cells targeting mouse CD155 exhibited limited toxic side effects in immunocompetent mice, highlighting the favorable safety profile of this therapy. These findings suggest that CD155 can be targeted by CD155 CAR-T cells safely and effectively, representing an innovative cellular therapeutic strategy that has the potential to expand its scope across both AML and multiple solid tumors, thereby lowering the cost of cellular immunotherapy, especially as allogenic, universal, and off-the-shelf CAR-T cell therapies advance to the clinic.
嵌合抗原受体T细胞(CAR-T细胞)是癌症免疫治疗中一种强大但昂贵的工具。尽管它们在靶向血液系统恶性肿瘤方面的应用已得到充分确立,但使用单一CAR-T细胞疗法来治疗血液系统肿瘤和实体瘤以降低成本,在很大程度上仍未得到探索。在本研究中,我们确定了CD155,一种在肿瘤进展过程中上调的黏附分子,作为白血病和实体瘤中CAR-T细胞疗法的靶点。我们使用从伯克利光公司的Beacon平台产生的人源和鼠源抗CD155抗体构建了CAR-T细胞。这些CAR-T细胞表现出强大的抗肿瘤活性,在急性髓系白血病、非小细胞肺癌和胰腺癌的临床前模型中显著减轻了肿瘤负担。为了减少潜在的同种异体排斥反应,我们使用保留疗效的人源化抗CD155抗体序列构建了CAR-T细胞。此外,靶向小鼠CD155的鼠源CAR-T细胞在免疫健全的小鼠中表现出有限的毒副作用,突出了这种疗法良好的安全性。这些发现表明,CD155 CAR-T细胞可以安全有效地靶向CD155,代表了一种创新的细胞治疗策略,有可能扩大其在急性髓系白血病和多种实体瘤中的应用范围,从而降低细胞免疫治疗的成本,特别是随着同种异体、通用和现成的CAR-T细胞疗法进入临床。
