Development Of Canine Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cell Therapy For Treatment & Translation Abstract Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy has had remarkable success targeting B cell leukemias in human patients, but unexpected toxicities and failures in other disease demonstrate the need for more predictive pre-clinical animal models than the murine ones currently used. Dogs develop spontaneous malignancies similar to humans in their tissues of origin, gene expression profiles, treatments, and disease courses, and have long been used as models for immunotherapy. I hypothesize that the development of CAR T cell therapy for dogs with spontaneous disease and that the treatment of these canine patients will recapitulate the observations found in human patients, and provide new insights into the safety and efficacy of this eakthrbr ough therapy. To achieve this, I first established methods for growing primary canine T cells from healthy and disease-bearing donors to clinically relevant scale, developed RNA electroporation protocols to transiently express a CAR targeting the canine tumor- associated antigen CD20, demonstrated its function in vitro, and treated a relapsed canine B cell lymphoma patient with autologous CAR T cells as a proof of feasibility. I then developed methods to permanently express a second-generation cCD20-8-28-ζ CAR in canine T cells using lentiviral transduction, showed in vitro antigen-specific function and proliferation of CAR T cells, and treated four canine B cell lymphoma patients with CAR T cells. Based on my observations from those patients, I made iterative improvements to the T cell culture system and CAR construct, and treated a canine B cell lymphoma patient with cCD20-8-BB-ζ CAR T cells, whose tumor cells lost target antigen expression to avoid immune pressure. These results prove that it is not only possible to generate canine CAR T cell therapy, but that it recapitulates observations found until now only in human patients. In addition, novel findings egarr ding the recovery of T cells during ex vivo culture and the host immune response to the CAR demonstrate that this model can already inform human medicine.

To my mother, for listening to my daily complaints – even when they were about genetic cloning – just to make sure I was alive each morning. To my brother, for suggesting I pursue something other than Latin for my career path. To my sister-in-law, for being in Philadelphia at the right time and place. To my grandfather, for a well-stocked library. And to the USPS – you know what you did. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Before this thesis even begins, I would like to acknowledge my mentor, Dr. Nicola J. Mason. Even if I were not your first and, so far, only graduate student, I certainly have been your most difficult. Nevertheless, you gave me the rarest of opportunities for a PhD student: to take the science from the bench to the bedside, and back again – and again, and again. We are almost there, Nicky – Today is the day! This work would not have been possible without my two stalwart lab companions. Dr. Josephine S. Gnanandarajah worked with such efficiency that it still amazes me to this day. You also got me into the habit of eating lunch semi-regularly, even if it was a candy bar from the library vending machine at 4PM. Dr. Martha A. MaloneyHuss has never slept, and yet has been willing to answer even the most rudimentary questions about patient care for me at any hour. I could not have hoped for a better friend to get a second opinion about the cells in tissue culture. Treatment of canine patients would not have gotten off the ground without the mRNA CAR collaboration with Dr. Daniel Powell, Jr., and his then-graduate student Dr. Jenessa Smith. Resources generously provided by Dr. Michael Milone, Dr. Carl June, Dr. Avery Posey, Jr., the Translational and Correlative Studies Laboratory, and eventually the Parker Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy have been key in achieving what we have so far. I want to thank the Immunology Graduate Group and the broader immunology community here at University of Pennsylvania for the counsel, equipment, and reagents that they have shared over the years, especially those that they were not yet aware of. I iv particularly would like to thank Dr. Karla Wiehagen, my mentor during my third rotation, for teaching how to do 14-color flow cytometry and how to design fail-proof Matryoshka doll experiments so that valuable data can be gained even if it 99% of the experiment fails; I look forward to the day that I can apply the former skill in canine immunology – the latter skill has already been invaluable for the same. I cannot express my gratitude enough to the owners of our patients for the enormous trust that they have put in us, and to the staff of the Matthew J. Ryan Veterinary Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania for their assistance in these trials. There remain three people who deserve acknowledgment here. Walter Muller taught me how to read journal articles in my sophomore year of high school and pushed me into lab science; I have spent nearly half my life so far pursuing immunology, and this is all his fault. Mrs. Weinblatt took a chance on the high school student living down the hall, and took her son by the ear and had him pass around his resume; may her memory be a blessing. Dr. Matthew S. Perzanowski of Columbia University spent some of his earliest days as a newly-appointed assistant professor teaching a 17-year old how to pipette and, for some reason, kept on taking him back summer after summer, year after year; he taught me that most protocol is voodoo, but actually discovering the mechanism is magic. v ABSTRACT DEVELOPMENT OF CANINE CHIMERIC ANTIGEN RECEPTOR T CELL THERAPY FOR TREATMENT & TRANSLATION Mohammed Kazim Panjwani Nicola J.

Recent studies CD28 but only expressed on T cells after activation (12). have shown that interactions of the T-lymphocyte receptors CTLA-4 acts cooperatively with CD28 to bind B7 and deliver CD28 and CTLA-4 with their counter receptor, B7, on antigen- T-cell costimulatory signals (13). presenting cells are required for optimal T-cell activation. Here Because of the importance of the CD28/CTLA-4 and B7 we show that HIV-1 infection is associated with decreased interactions in immune responses, it is likely that these expression of CD28 and increased expression of B7 on CD4+ interactions are also important during HIV-1 infection.

Davis2,Adrian Whitty3, Jonathan M. Green4, Andrey S. Shaw1,ArthurWeiss5 and Michael L. Dustin5,6 Published online: 19 November 2001, DOI: 10.1038/ni737 According to the two-signal model of T cell activation, costimulatory molecules augment T cell receptor (TCR) signaling, whereas adhesion molecules enhance TCR–MHC-peptide recognition.The structure and binding properties of CD28 imply that it may perform both functions, blurring the distinction between adhesion and costimulatory molecules. Our results show that CD28 on naïve T cells does not support adhesion and has little or no capacity for directly enhancing TCR–MHC- peptide interactions. Instead of being dependent on costimulatory signaling, we propose that a key function of the immunological synapse is to generate a cellular microenvironment that favors the interactions of potent secondary signaling molecules, such as CD28. The T cell receptor (TCR) interaction with complexes of peptide and as CD2 and CD48, which suggests that CD28 might have a dual role as major histocompatibility complex (pMHC) is central to the T cell an adhesion and a signaling molecule4.

Only a small fraction of thymocytes are selected to account for self tolerance, as well as self restriction, and become immunocompetent T cells (2). The molecular and cellular mechanisms for the growth and maturation of thymocytes are poorly understood. Cell surface phenotype analyses have shown that thymocytes are composed ofhighly heterogeneous populations. Based on cell surface expression of the TCR accessory molecules CD4 and CD8, thymocytes can be divided into three major subpopula- tions, which generally are thought to relate to maturation stages. They are the CD2+CD1 - CD4- 8- (double-negative) cells, CD2'CD1'CD4'8' (double-positive) cells, and CD2' CDl - CD4' 8- or CD2' CDl - CD4- 8' (single-positive) mature thymocytes. Both double-negative and double-positive thymocytes are immature cells located in the cortical compartment of human thymus (3). Mature thymocytes do not express the cortical specific marker CD1 but express TCRA and B chain subunits associated with the CD3 complex and reside predominantly in the medullary com- partment (4) .

  • CD28 Costimulation Improves Expansion and Persistence of Chimeric Antigen Receptor–Modified T Cells in Lymphoma Patients
    CD28 costimulation improves expansion and persistence of chimeric antigen receptor–modified T cells in lymphoma patients Barbara Savoldo, … , Malcolm K. Brenner, Gianpietro Dotti J Clin Invest. 2011;121(5):1822-1826. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI46110. Brief Report Immunology Targeted T cell immunotherapies using engineered T lymphocytes expressing tumor-directed chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) are designed to benefit patients with cancer. Although incorporation of costimulatory endodomains within these CARs increases the proliferation of CAR-redirected T lymphocytes, it has proven difficult to draw definitive conclusions about the specific effects of costimulatory endodomains on the expansion, persistence, and antitumor effectiveness of CAR-redirected T cells in human subjects, owing to the lack of side-by-side comparisons with T cells bearing only a single signaling domain. We therefore designed a study that allowed us to directly measure the consequences of adding a costimulatory endodomain to CAR-redirected T cells. Patients with B cell lymphomas were simultaneously infused with 2 autologous T cell products expressing CARs with the same specificity for the CD19 antigen, present on most B cell malignancies. One CAR encoded both the costimulatory CD28 and the ζ-endodomains, while the other encoded only the ζ-endodomain. CAR+ T cells containing the CD28 endodomain showed strikingly enhanced expansion and persistence compared with CAR+ T cells lacking this endodomain. These results demonstrate the superiority of CARs with dual signal domains and confirm a method of comparing CAR-modified T cells within individual patients, thereby avoiding patient-to- patient variability and accelerating the development of optimal T cell immunotherapies.
