Abstract
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells have demonstrated promising therapeutic outcomes in hematologic malignancies, but efficacy against most solid tumors, including ovarian cancer (OC). To address CAR-T challenges, we generated CAR-T cells (B4M3 CAR-T) targeting two tumor-associated antigens, B7H3 and MSLN, simultaneously. Immunohistochemistry and proteomics technologies, were employed to analyze the xenograft tumor tissues and key organ tissues at the end of the treatment in vivo assays. B4M3 CAR-T cells demonstrated rapid antitumor effects under in vivo stress conditions, protected against organ damage, and exhibited favorable safety and tolerability. Molecular and signaling studies indicated that B4M3 CAR-T promoted tumor cell death by activating the NF-κB and TNF signaling pathways. Furthermore, B4M3 CAR-T cells enhancing the innate immune response and altering the metabolic profile. Collectively, our study successfully developed B4M3 CAR-T cells, which exhibited significant antitumor effects in ovarian cancer and it provide a novel strategy for the immunotherapy of OC.
期刊介绍:
International Immunopharmacology is the primary vehicle for the publication of original research papers pertinent to the overlapping areas of immunology, pharmacology, cytokine biology, immunotherapy, immunopathology and immunotoxicology. Review articles that encompass these subjects are also welcome.
The subject material appropriate for submission includes:
• Clinical studies employing immunotherapy of any type including the use of: bacterial and chemical agents; thymic hormones, interferon, lymphokines, etc., in transplantation and diseases such as cancer, immunodeficiency, chronic infection and allergic, inflammatory or autoimmune disorders.
• Studies on the mechanisms of action of these agents for specific parameters of immune competence as well as the overall clinical state.
• Pre-clinical animal studies and in vitro studies on mechanisms of action with immunopotentiators, immunomodulators, immunoadjuvants and other pharmacological agents active on cells participating in immune or allergic responses.
• Pharmacological compounds, microbial products and toxicological agents that affect the lymphoid system, and their mechanisms of action.
• Agents that activate genes or modify transcription and translation within the immune response.
• Substances activated, generated, or released through immunologic or related pathways that are pharmacologically active.
• Production, function and regulation of cytokines and their receptors.
• Classical pharmacological studies on the effects of chemokines and bioactive factors released during immunological reactions.
