AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Background: Breast cancer (BC) is a highly prevalent solid cancer with a high-rise infiltration of immune cells, turning it into a significant candidate for tumor-specific immunotherapies. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells are emerging as immunotherapeutic tools with genetically engineered receptors to efficiently recognize and attack tumor cells that express specific target antigens. Technological advancements in CAR design have provided five generations of CAR-T cells applicable to a wide range of cancer patients while boosting CAR-T cell therapy safety. However, CAR-T cell therapy is ineffective against breast cancer because of the loss of specified antigens, the immunosuppressive nature of the tumor and CAR-T cell-induced toxicities. Next-generation CAR-T cells actively pass through the tumor vascular barriers, persist for extended periods and disrupt the tumor microenvironment (TME) to block immune escape.
Conclusion: CAR-T cell therapy embodies advanced immunotherapy for BC, but further pre-clinical and clinical assessments are recommended to achieve maximized efficiency and safety.

Background Aims: Hypophosphatemia has been recently recognized adverse event in chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy, complicating 70-75% of patients. Severe hypophosphatemia can cause cytokine release syndrome (CRS)-like symptoms, such as respiratory and cardiovascular dysfunction. Some reports have described the association between inorganic phosphate (iP) and CRS in patients treated with tisagenlecleucel (tisa-cel), lisocabtagene maraleucel (liso-cel), axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel).

We reported the pseudoprogression in an elderly patient with advanced gastric cancer after chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy. The hepatic metastases enlarged 1 month after CAR-T cell infusion and then shrunk the next month as seen through computed tomography scanning. Based on a comprehensive evaluation that includes imaging, pathology, serum tumor markers, and clinical symptoms, we arrived at a diagnosis of pseudoprogression after CAR-T cell therapy, which has not been reported in previous studies.

Gene therapy (GT) as a groundbreaking approach holds promise for treating many diseases including immune deficiencies and blood disorders. GT can benefit patients suffering from these diseases, especially those without matched donors or who are at risk after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Due to all the advances in the field of GT, its main challenge is still gene delivery.
