Chimeric antigen receptor engineered NK cellular immunotherapy overcomes the selection of T-cell escape variant cancer cells
BackgroundAs heterogeneous tumors develop in the face of intact immunity, tumor cells harboring genomic or expression defects that favor evasion from T-cell detection or elimination are selected. For patients with such tumors, T cell-based immunotherapy alone infrequently results in durable tumor control.MethodsHere, we developed experimental models to study mechanisms of T-cell escape and demonstrated that resistance to T-cell killing can be overcome by the addition of natural killer (NK) cells engineered to express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) targeting programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1).ResultsIn engineered models of tumor heterogeneity, PD-L1 CAR-engineered NK cells (PD-L1 t-haNKs) prevented the clonal selection of T cell-resistant tumor cells observed with T-cell treatment alone in multiple models. Treatment of heterogenous cancer cell populations with T cells resulted in interferon gamma (IFN-γ) release and subsequent upregulation of PD-L1 on tumor cells that escaped T-cell killing through defects in antigen processing and presentation, priming escape cell populations for PD-L1 dependent killing by PD-L1 t-haNKs in vitro and in vivo.ConclusionsThese results describe the underlying mechanisms governing synergistic antitumor activity between T cell-based immunotherapy that results in IFN-γ production, upregulation of PD-L1 on T-cell escape cells, and the use of PD-L1 CAR-engineered NK cells to target and eliminate resistant tumor cell populations.

Graduate Study for Secondary School Teachers
AMERICAN secondary schools have expanded so rapidly that it has been difficult to secure adequately prepared teachers in sufficient numbers. Added to the difficulties resulting from the pressure of numbers are the problems which have arisen because of the expansion of the curriculum.
