    Disruption of SUV39H1-Mediated H3K9 Methylation Sustains CAR T Cell Function

    Investigators showed that the genetic disruption of SUV39H1, which encodes a histone-3, lysine-9 methyl-transferase, enhanced the early expansion, long-term persistence, and overall anti-tumor efficacy of human CAR T cells in leukemia and prostate cancer models.

    Abstract

    Injectable Supramolecular Hydrogels for In Situ Programming of CAR-T Cells towards Solid Tumor Immunotherapy

    An injectable supramolecular hydrogel system has been designed to load plasmid CAR with T cell specific CD2 promoter, which successfully achieved in situ fabrication and effective accumulation of CAR-T cells at the tumor site in humanized mice models.

    Abstract

    Antitumor Activity of AZD0754, a dnTGFβRII-Armored, STEAP2-Targeted CAR-T Cell Therapy, in Prostate Cancer

    Studies revealed that six-transmembrane epithelial antigen of prostate-2 (STEAP2) was a prevalent prostate cancer antigen that displayed high, homogeneous cell surface expression across all stages of disease with limited distal normal tissue expression.

    Paired Box 6 Gene Delivery Preserves Beta Cells and Improves Islet Transplantation Efficacy

    Scientists identified paired box 6 (PAX6) as a critical regulator of beta cell survival. The human beta cell line EndoC-βH1, db/db mouse, and human islets displayed dampened insulin and incretin signalings and reduced beta cell survival, which were alleviated by PAX6 overexpression.

    Implications of High Tumor Burden on Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cell Immunotherapy

    The authors focus on linking the efficacy and safety of CAR T cell therapy with tumor burden. Emerging clinical approaches to overcome these obstacles and more effectively incorporate this therapeutic strategy into the treatment paradigm of patients with solid malignant tumors are also described.
