Tumor-derived exosomes induce initial activation by exosomal CD19 antigen but impair the function of CD19-specific CAR T-cells via TGF-β signaling

Tumor-derived exosomes(TEXs)enriched in immune suppressive molecules predominantly drive T-cell dysfunction and impair antitumor immunity.Chimeric antigen receptor(CAR)T-cell therapy has emerged as a promising treatment for refractory and relapsed hematological malignancies,but whether lymphoma TEXs have the same impact on CAR T-cell remains unclear.Here,we demonstrated that B-cell lymphoma-derived exosomes induce the initial activation of CD19-CAR T-cells upon stimulation with exosomal CD19.However,lymphoma TEXs might subsequently induce CAR T-cell apoptosis and impair the tumor cytotoxicity of the cells because of the upregulated expression of the inhibitory receptors PD-1,TIM3,and LAG3 upon prolonged exposure.Similar results were observed in the CAR T-cells exposed to plasma exosomes from patients with lymphoma.More importantly,single-cell RNA sequencing revealed that CAR T-cells typically showed differentiated phenotypes and regulatory T-cell(Treg)phenotype conversion.By blocking transforming growth factor β(TGF-β)-Smad3 signaling with TGF-β inhibitor LY2109761,the negative effects of TEXs on Treg conversion,terminal differentiation,and immune checkpoint expression were rescued.Collectively,although TEXs lead to the initial activation of CAR T-cells,the effect of TEXs suppressed CAR T-cells,which can be rescued by LY2109761.A treatment regimen combining CAR T-cell therapy and TGF-β inhibitors might be a novel therapeutic strategy for refractory and relapsed B-cell lymphoma.
