Relapse of B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) after
allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) commonly
results from the failure of a graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) effect to
eradicate minimal residual disease. Augmenting the GVL effect by the
adoptive transfer of donor-derived B-ALL-specific T-cell clones is a
conceptually attractive strategy to decrease relapse rates without
exacerbating graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Toward this end, we
investigated whether a genetic engineering approach could render
CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) specific for tumor
cells that express the B-cell lineage cell surface molecule CD19. This
was accomplished by the genetic modification of CTLs to express a chimeric immunoreceptor composed of a CD19-specific single-chain immunoglobulin extracellular targeting domain fused to a
CD3- intracellular signaling domain. CD19-redirected CTL clones
display potent CD19-specific lytic activity and chimeric
immunoreceptor-regulated cytokine production and proliferation. Because
B-ALL cells can evade T-cell/natural killer- cell recognition by
down-regulation of cell surface accessory molecules that participate in
the formation of a functional immunologic synapse, we compared the
CD19-specific effector function of genetically modified
CD8+ CTLs toward CD19+ cells with disparate
levels of intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1), leukocyte
function-associated antigen 1 (LFA-1), and LFA-3. We observed that
recognition of B-lineage tumor lines by CD19-specific CTLs was not
impaired by low levels of ICAM-1, LFA-1, and LFA-3 cell surface
expression, a functional attribute that is likely a consequence of our
high-affinity CD19-specific chimeric immunoreceptor. Furthermore, the
CD19-specific CTLs could lyse primary B-ALL blasts. These preclinical
observations form the basis for implementing clinical trials using
donor-derived CD19-specific T-cell clones to treat
or prevent relapse of B-ALL after allogeneic HSCT.
