PG - 1-14 LID - 10.1016/j.omto.2022.11.007 [doi] AB - To increase the number of cancer patients that can be treated with T cell receptor (TCR) gene therapy, we aimed to identify a set of high-affinity cancer-specific TCRs targeting different melanoma-associated antigens (MAGEs). In this study, peptides derived from MAGE genes with tumor-specific expression pattern were identified by human leukocyte antigen (HLA) peptidomics. Next, peptide-HLA tetramers were generated, and used to sort MAGE-specific CD8(+) T cell clones from the allogeneic (allo) HLA repertoire of healthy donors. To evaluate the clinical potential, most potent TCRs were sequenced, transferred into peripheral blood-derived CD8(+) T cells, and tested for antitumor efficacy. In total we identified, seven MAGE-specific TCRs that effectively target MAGE-A1, MAGE-A3, MAGE-A6, and MAGE-A9 in the context of HLA-A *01:01, -A *02:01, -A *03:01, -B *07:02, -B *35:01, or -C *07:02. TCR gene transfer into CD8(+) T cells resulted in efficient reactivity against a variety of different tumor types, while no cross-reactivity was detected. In addition, major in vivo antitumor effects of MAGE-A1 specific TCR engineered CD8(+) T cells were observed in the orthotopic xenograft model for established multiple myeloma. The identification of seven MAGE-specific TCRs expands the pool of cancer patients eligible for TCR gene therapy and increases possibilities for personalized TCR gene therapy.
