PG - 28-38.e1-2 LID - S0301-472X(13)00753-4 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.exphem.2013.09.013 [doi] AB - Current strategies in cellular immunotherapy of cancer and viral infections include the adoptive transfer of T cell receptor (TCR) and chimeric antigen receptor engineered T cells. When using transient RNA expression systems in clinical studies, multiple infusions with receptor-redirected T cells appear necessary. However, in allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation, repeated transfer of donor-derived T cells increases the risk of alloreactive graft-versus-host disease. We investigated naive-derived (TN), memory-derived (TM), and Epstein Barr virus-specific (TEBV) CD8(+) T cell subsets for alloreactivity upon redirection with RNA encoding a cytomegalovirus-specific model TCR. We observed that alloreactivity to human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-mismatched hematopoietic cells developed at much stronger levels in TN compared with TM or TEBV populations in cytokine-release and cytotoxicity assays. Cytomegalovirus-specific effector function was higher in TCR-transfected TEBV and TM over TN cells. To measure alloreactivity in vivo, we reconstituted NOD/SCID/IL-2Rgammac(null) mice with human CD34(+) stem cells and adoptively transferred them with CD8(+) T cell subsets previously stimulated against cells of the HLA-mismatched stem-cell donor. TN cells showed a significant ability to eliminate CD34-derived hematopoietic cells, which was not found with TM and TEBV cells. This reduced alloreactive potential along with strong effector function upon receptor RNA engineering makes CD8(+) memory and EBV-specific T cells advantageous tools in adoptive immunotherapy after allogeneic transplantation.
