Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we found that CAR-T cell with a CD28-derived co-stimulatory signal domain (CSSD) exhibited exhausted phenotype whereas the one with a herpes virus entry mediator-derived CSSD exhibited exhaustion-resistant phenotype. We also found that early exhaustion status of the CAR-T cell could affect responsiveness of the CAR-T cells. Phenotypic analysis of the CAR-T cells also showed that early CAR-T cell exhaustion is associated with CAR-mediated tonic signaling due to CAR clustering. In addition, we explored the factors for avoiding CAR-T cell exhaustion using CD28-CAR-T cell as a model system of exhausted CAR-T cell.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究の成果は、進行期造血器腫瘍で高い奏効率を示しているCAR-T細胞療法を、固形腫瘍に応用するための基盤となる成果である。疲弊CAR-T細胞の性状解析と疲弊CAR-T細胞を用いたスクリーニングから、CAR-T細胞の疲弊回避の可能性が示唆された。これは、固形腫瘍で見られるCAR-T細胞の疲弊化による不応答性を改善に役立てられると考えられる。
