Background: Given the growing acknowledgment of the detrimental effects of excessive myocardial fibrosis on pathological remodeling after myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (I/R), targeting the modulation of myocardial fibrosis may offer protective and therapeutic advantages. However, effective clinical interventions and therapies that target myocardial fibrosis remain limited. As a promising chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) cell therapy, whether CAR macrophages (CAR-Ms) can be used to treat I/R remains unclear.
Methods: The expression of FAP (fibroblast activation protein) was studied in mouse hearts after I/R. FAP CAR-Ms were generated to target FAP-expressing cardiac fibroblasts in mouse hearts after I/R. The phagocytosis activity of FAP CAR-Ms was tested in vitro. The efficacy and safety of FAP CAR-Ms in treating I/R were evaluated in vivo.
Results: FAP was significantly upregulated in activated cardiac fibroblasts as early as 3 days after I/R. Upon demonstrating their ability to engulf FAP-overexpressing fibroblasts, we intravenously administered FAP CAR-Ms to mice at 3 days after I/R and found that FAP CAR-Ms significantly improved cardiac function and reduced myocardial fibrosis in mice after I/R. No toxicities associated with FAP CAR-Ms were detected in the heart or other organs at 2 weeks after I/R. Finally, we found that FAP CAR-Ms conferred long-term cardioprotection against I/R.
Conclusions: Our proof-of-concept study demonstrates the therapeutic potential of FAP CAR-Ms in alleviating myocardial I/R and potentially opens new avenues for the treatment of a range of heart diseases that include a fibrotic phenotype.
