Human memory T cells include stem-like CD8+ memory T cell progenitors that can become either functional stem-like T (TSTEM) cells or dysfunctional T progenitor exhausted (TPEX) cells. To that end, we demonstrated that TSTEM cells were less abundant in infused CAR-T cell products in a phase 1 clinical trial testing Lewis Y-CAR-T cells (NCT03851146), and the infused CAR-T cells displayed poor persistence in patients. To address this issue, we developed a production protocol to generate TSTEM-like CAR-T cells enriched for expression of genes in cell replication pathways. Compared with conventional CAR-T cells, TSTEM-like CAR-T cells had enhanced proliferative capacity and increased cytokine secretion after CAR stimulation, including after chronic CAR stimulation in vitro. These responses were dependent on the presence of CD4+ T cells during TSTEM-like CAR-T cell production. Adoptive transfer of TSTEM-like CAR-T cells induced better control of established tumors and resistance to tumor rechallenge in preclinical models. These more favorable outcomes were associated with increased persistence of TSTEM-like CAR-T cells and an increased memory T cell pool. Last, TSTEM-like CAR-T cells and anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) treatment eradicated established tumors, and this was associated with increased tumor-infiltrating CD8+CAR+ T cells producing interferon-γ. In conclusion, our CAR-T cell protocol generated TSTEM-like CAR-T cells with enhanced therapeutic efficacy, resulting in increased proliferative capacity and persistence in vivo. | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/32649 | DOI: | 10.1126/scitranslmed.abk1900 | ORCID: | 0000-0003-2723-8185 0000-0003-4416-7040 0000-0002-5892-8990 0000-0003-3755-3170 0000-0002-1051-5855 0000-0002-3089-0871 0000-0003-2257-6388 0000-0002-3336-1860 0000-0002-6986-6115 0000-0003-4634-7600 0000-0002-4172-5628 0000-0002-6656-295X 0000-0001-9124-354X 0000-0003-4246-9344 0000-0002-0058-2448 0000-0003-4555-6582 0000-0002-2116-013X 0000-0002-2697-487X 0000-0003-3059-5730 0000-0002-2976-8617 0000-0003-0983-1532 0000-0002-5303-9561 0000-0002-2729-5887 |
