Radiation therapy improves CAR T cell activity in acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Mayumi Sugita, Takahiro Yamazaki, Mohammad Alhomoud, Jeremie Martinet, Jean-Baptiste Latouche, Encouse Golden, Olivier Boyer, Koen Van Besien, Silvia C. Formenti, Lorenzo Galluzzi, Monica L. Guzman

Summary: Autologous T cells engineered with CAR specific for CD19 have been approved for treating CD19(+) hematological malignancies. However, relapse often occurs when neoplastic cells lose CD19 expression. Preclinical models have shown that radiation therapy (RT) can overcome CD19 loss by inducing death receptor expression in cancer cells. Using a human model of CD19(+) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), it was found that low-dose total body irradiation (LD-TBI) administered before CAR T cell infusion significantly improved overall survival and CAR T cell expansion. These findings support the initiation of clinical trials combining LD-TBI with CAR T cells.

A novel polymer-conjugated human IL-15 improves efficacy of CD19-targeted CAR T-cell immunotherapy

Alexandre Hirayama, Cassie K. Chou, Takahiro Miyazaki, Rachel N. Steinmetz, Henna A. Di, Simon P. Fraessle, Jordan Gauthier, Salvatore Fiorenza, Reed M. Hawkins, Willem W. Overwijk, Stanley R. Riddell, Mario Q. Marcondes, Cameron J. Turtle

Summary: CAR T-cell therapy has shown efficacy in treating relapsed/refractory B-cell malignancies, but durable responses are limited. NKTR-255, a polymer-conjugated IL-15, enhances in vivo proliferation of T cells and NK cells, and improves the antitumor efficacy of CD19 CAR T cells. These findings support an ongoing phase 1 clinical trial of combined therapy with CD19 CAR T cells and NKTR-255 for relapsed/refractory B-cell malignancies.

A Mathematical Description of the Bone Marrow Dynamics during CAR T-Cell Therapy in B-Cell Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Alvaro Martinez-Rubio, Salvador Chulian, Cristina Blazquez Goni, Manuel Ramirez Orellana, Antonio Perez Martinez, Alfonso Navarro-Zapata, Cristina Ferreras, Victor M. Perez-Garcia, Maria Rosa

Summary: CAR T-cell therapy shows high response rates in treating B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, but relapse can still occur. The status of CAR T cells in bone marrow plays a key role in treatment response. A mathematical model depicting interactions between different cell populations is essential in understanding the causes of treatment resistance.

Yao Sun, Yongfeng Su, Yizhi Wang, Na Liu, Yuhang Li, Jianlin Chen, Zhuoqing Qiao, Jingwen Niu, Jiangwei Hu, Bin Zhang, Hongmei Ning, Liangding Hu

Summary: The study presented a case of a patient with B-ALL who experienced extramedullary relapse after allogeneic stem cell transplantation and underwent multiple CAR-T cell therapies, including different variants of CD19 CAR-T cells. The patient achieved therapeutic responses after some of the treatments, demonstrating the potential efficacy of CAR-T cell therapy in relapsed B-ALL patients.

Summary: In this study, huCART19 demonstrated high overall response rates in children and young adults with relapsed or refractory B-ALL, reaching 98% in the CAR-naive cohort and 100% in B-ALL patients. Despite common adverse events such as neurologic toxicities and cytokine release syndrome, these were mostly fully resolved, indicating durable remissions with long-term persistence achieved by huCART19.

Integrating CAR T-Cell Therapy and Transplantation: Comparisons of Safety and Long-Term Efficacy of Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation After CAR T-Cell or Chemotherapy-Based Complete Remission in B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Yan-Li Zhao, De-Yan Liu, Rui-Juan Sun, Jian-Ping Zhang, Jia-Rui Zhou, Zhi-Jie Wei, Min Xiong, Xing-Yu Cao, Yue Lu, Jun-fang Yang, Xian Zhang, Dao-Pei Lu, Peihua Lu

Summary: In B-ALL patients, similar clinical safety outcomes could be achieved with either CD19 CAR T-cell therapy followed by allo-HSCT or chemotherapy followed by allo-HSCT. Despite the inclusion of more patients with advanced diseases in the CAR-T group, the 4-year LFS and OS achieved with CAR T-cells followed by allo-HSCT were as remarkable as those achieved with chemotherapy followed by allo-HSCT.

Bone marrow fibrosis is associated with non-response to CD19 CAR T-cell therapy in B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Joshua Anil, Ahab Alnemri, Andrew Lytle, Brian Lockhart, Ashley E. Anil, Michael Baumgartner, Kirubel Gebre, Jared Mcferran, Stephan A. Grupp, Susan R. Rheingold, Vinodh Pillai

Summary: This study reveals that BM fibrosis is a novel mechanism mediating nonresponse to CD19-directed CAR T-cell therapy in B-ALL. The analysis of patient samples and primary B-ALL samples demonstrates that nonresponders exhibit higher levels of fibrosis even before CAR T-cell therapy, and the level of fibrosis is associated with overall survival after CAR T-cell therapy.

A CH2CH3 hinge region enhances the cytotoxicity of anti-CD5 CAR-T cells targeting T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Huantong Wu, Yajie Yu, Yu Zhao, Weihua Liu, Zhongfeng Liu, Guangji Zhang, Zhiguo Chen

Summary: In this study, CD5-specific CAR-T cells were designed with different molecular structures and their anti-tumor efficacy against T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) was investigated in vitro and in vivo. The results showed that by optimizing the structure of CARs, the anti-tumor activity of CAR-T cells against T-ALL cells was enhanced. Specifically, CD5 CAR-T cells with a CD28 co-stimulation domain and C(H)2C(H)3 hinge region exhibited superior anti-tumor activity compared to other CAR designs.

Low-Temperature Direct Bonding of SiC to Si via Plasma Activation

Fengxuan Wang, Xiang Yang, Yongqiang Zhao, Jingmin Wu, Zhiyu Guo, Zhi He, Zhongchao Fan, Fuhua Yang

Summary: This study investigated the low-temperature direct bonding of SiC/Si through O-2 plasma activation. After optimization, a high bonding efficiency of over 90% was achieved. Surface activation was carried out through reactive ion etching (RIE) O-2 plasma without causing significant damage. A smooth and void-free interface was observed, along with a significant amorphous oxide layer. By increasing the annealing temperature, the thickness of the amorphous layer decreased significantly. The mechanism of SiC/Si low-temperature plasma-activated bonding was discussed based on systematic experiments and analysis.

Characteristics of nitrogen flow and its environmental effects in the Yellow River Basin, China

Yongqiang Zhao, Shuoguo Yang

Summary: The nitrogen cycle in large river basins is regulated by complex interactions between human and natural elements. However, the origins, fate, and driving forces of reactive nitrogen flows in these basins are still not well understood. This study used material flow analysis to establish an estimation model for nitrogen flux in the Yellow River Basin of Henan Province. The results showed that anthropogenic activities accounted for over 95% of total nitrogen inputs. High nitrogen input, energy-intensive processes, inadequate sewage disposal facilities, and low nitrogen utilization efficiency were identified as the main causes of contamination. Effective regulation of high-strength nitrogen pollutant inputs related to insufficient nitrogen cycling and elimination is the main challenge in the Yellow River Basin. The study also proposed control measures based on the evaluation of nitrogen flow and release. This research provides a scientific foundation for managing the human-environment relationship in large basins and has significant reference value for the formulation of nitrogen emission reduction strategies.

Skill generalization of tubular object manipulation with tactile sensing and Sim2Real learning

Yongqiang Zhao, Xingshuo Jing, Kun Qian, Daniel Fernandes Gomes, Shan Luo

Summary: In this paper, a novel tactile-motor policy learning method is proposed to generalize tubular object manipulation skills from simulation to reality. The authors introduce an attention mechanism and a task-related constraint to narrow the pixel-level domain gap for tactile tasks using an adversarial domain adaptation network. The proposed method is implemented in a Reinforcement Learning-based policy learning framework for robotic insert-and-pullout manipulation tasks, showing its generalization capability in research laboratories.
