- W2914304825 abstract "Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common type of primary brain tumor, with the standard therapy only modestly improving the prognosis, highlighting the necessity to develop advanced treatments. We and others have established the platform to potentiate immune response against GBMs using chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) engineered T-cells. Specifically, we have shown that intracranial administration of CAR T-cells can be well tolerated in patients with recurrent GBMs, together with some early clinical evidence of antitumor response. However, CAR T-cell therapy against GBMs is complicated by the inter- and intratumoral heterogeneity, while the single-targeting therapies only respond to a subset of tumor cells. The development of new CAR therapy would thus aim for targeting a wider range of tumor cells and bypassing antigen escape. Here, we took an approach different from conventional strategies of tumor antigen discovery, exploiting the tumor-binding potential of a natural peptide to develop CAR T-cells that broadly target GBMs. Chlorotoxin (CLTX) is a 36-amino acid peptide with demonstrated GBM-binding capability. Inspired by the utilization of CLTX in GBM tumor imaging, we used a fluorescence-conjugated CLTX to screen the freshly-dispersed primary GBM cells and patient-derived GBM neurospheres, and found that CLTX binding was more homogeneous than the expression of other GBM-associated antigens including EGFR, HER2 and IL13Rα2. Although CLTX has limited inhibitory effect on GBM growth, its broad binding to GBM cells illustrates the potential to be conjugated with a cytotoxic agent. Therefore, we generated CAR T-cells bearing CLTX as the antigen targeting domain. CLTX-CAR T-cells were able to get activated after stimulating with GBM cells, as indicated by their degranulation, cytokine production and immuno-synapse formation. Modification of CAR constructs revealed that CLTX-CAR T-cells with CD28 costimulatory signal exhibited potent effector activity, while the 4-1BB costimulation resulted in inadequate CAR activation. In both in vitro and in vivo models, CLTX-CAR T-cells effectively eliminated GBM cells and tumors, including the ones with no/low expression of EGFR, HER2 and IL13Rα2. Importantly, CLTX peptide exhibited negligible binding to a panel of normal cells from neural and other tissues, and CLTX-CAR T-cells showed no off-target effect against normal organs in tumor-bearing mouse models. Screening on patient-derived GBM neurospheres, we discovered that the expression of metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 on targeT-cells was correlated with the effector function of CLTX-CAR T-cells. Further, the antitumor function of CLTX-CAR T-cells was severely diminished against GBMs with MMP-2 knockdown. Consistent with the cytotoxicity of CLTX-CAR T-cells, MMP-2 expression was also present in a subgroup of GBM cells with undetectable levels of EGFR, HER2 and IL13Rα2 expression. Our results demonstrate for the first time that a peptide toxin can be successfully used as the tumor targeting domain of a CAR, which eliminates GBMs with high efficiency and selectivity. The CLTX-CAR has the potential to limit GBM heterogeneity and compensate current CAR T-cell therapies against solid tumors.
