A hostile tumor microenvironment is one of the major obstacles for the efficacy of chimeric antigen receptor modified T (CAR-T) cells, and combination treatment might be a potential way to overcome this obstacle. Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor (PARPi) has demonstrated tremendous potential in breast cancer. In this study, we explored the possible combination of the PAPRi olaparib with EGFRvIII-targeted CAR (806-28Z CAR) T cells in immunocompetent mouse models of breast cancer. The results indicated that the administration of olaparib could significantly enhance the efficacy of 806-28Z CAR-T cells in vivo. Interestingly, we observed that olaparib could suppress myeloid-derived suppressor cell (MDSC) migration and promote the survival of CD8 T cells in tumor tissue. Mechanistically, olaparib was shown to reduce the expression of SDF1α released from cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and thereby decreased MDSC migration through CXCR4. Taken together, this study demonstrated that olaparib could increase the antitumor activities of CAR-T cell therapy at least partially through inhibiting MDSC migration via the SDF1α/CXCR4 axis. These findings uncover a novel mechanism of PARPi function and provide additional mechanistic rationale for combining PARPi with CAR-T cells for the treatment of breast cancer.

A co-signaling receptor, 2B4, has dual effects in immune cells, but its actual functions in T cells remain elusive. Here, using super-resolution imaging technology with an immunological synapse model, we showed that 2B4 forms "2B4 microclusters" immediately after 2B4-CD48 binding. A lipid phosphatase, SHIP-1, subsequently combined with 2B4 to form coinhibitory signalosomes, leading to the suppression of cytokine production.

Introduction: Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) expressing T-cells have shown great promise for the future of cancer immunotherapy with the recent clinical successes achieved in treating different hematologic cancers. Despite these early successes, several challenges remain in the field that require to be solved for the therapy to be more efficacious. One such challenge is the lack of long-term persistence of CD28 based CAR T-cells in patients.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is caused by altered maturation and differentiation of myeloid blasts, as well as transcriptional/epigenetic alterations, all leading to excessive proliferation of malignant blood cells in the bone marrow. Tumor heterogeneity due to the acquisition of new somatic alterations leads to a high rate of resistance to current therapies or reduces the efficacy of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), thus increasing the risk of relapse and mortality. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) will enable the classification of AML and guide treatment approaches by profiling patients with different facets of the same disease, stratifying risk, and identifying new potential therapeutic targets at the time of diagnosis or after treatment.

Previously, we demonstrated that natural host-defence peptide caerin 1.1/caerin 1.9 (F1/F3) increases the efficacy of anti-PD-1 and therapeutic vaccine, in a HPV16 + TC-1 tumour model, but the anti-tumor mechanism of F1/F3 is still unclear.

Autologous chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells are a genetically engineered therapy that is highly effective against B cell malignancies and multiple myeloma. However, the length and cost of personalized manufacturing limits access and leaves patients vulnerable to disease progression. Allogeneic cell therapies have the potential to increase patient access and improve treatment outcomes but are limited by immune rejection.
