c-Jun overexpression in CAR T cells induces exhaustion resistance

TL;DR: It is concluded that a functional deficiency in c-Jun mediates dysfunction in exhausted human T cells, and that engineering CAR T cells to overexpress c- Jun renders them resistant to exhaustion, thereby addressing a major barrier to progress for this emerging class of therapeutic agents.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tuning the Antigen Density Requirement for CAR T-cell Activity.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that CD19 CAR activity is dependent upon antigen density and the CAR construct in axicabtagene-ciloleucel (CD19-CD28z) outperforms that in tisagenlecleucel(CD19) against antigen low tumors and CARs incorporating a CD28-H/T demonstrate a more stable and efficient immunological synapse.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transient rest restores functionality in exhausted CAR-T cells through epigenetic remodeling.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of transient cessation of receptor signaling, or rest, on the development and maintenance of T cell exhaustion was investigated using murine xenograft models and an in vitro model wherein tonic CAR signaling induces hallmark features of exhaustion.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Emerging Landscape of Immune Cell Therapies.

TL;DR: This perspective will summarize the current status of immune cell therapies for cancer, infectious disease, and autoimmunity, and discuss advances in cellular engineering to overcome barriers to progress.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pharmacologic control of CAR-T cell function using dasatinib.

TL;DR: Dasatinib potently and reversibly suppresses CAR-T cell cytotoxicity, cytokine secretion, and proliferation and could be repurposed as a safety switch to mitigate CAR-mediated toxicity in patients.
