A new strategy to improve the therapeutic utility of redirected T
cells for cancer involves the development of novel Ag-specific chimeric
receptors capable of stimulating optimal and sustained T cell antitumor
activity in vivo. Given that T cells require both primary and
costimulatory signals for optimal activation and that many tumors do
not express critical costimulatory ligands, modified single-chain Ab
receptors have been engineered to codeliver CD28 costimulation. In this
study, we have compared the antitumor potency of primary T lymphocytes
expressing carcinoembryonic Ag (CEA)-reactive chimeric receptors that
incorporate either TCR-
or CD28/TCR-
signaling. Although both
receptor-transduced T cell effector populations demonstrated cytolysis
of CEA+ tumors in vitro, T cells expressing the
single-chain variable fragment of Ig (scFv)-CD28-
chimera had a far
greater capacity to control the growth of CEA+ xenogeneic
and syngeneic colon carcinomas in vivo. The observed enhanced antitumor
activity of T cells expressing the scFv-CD28-
receptor was
critically dependent on perforin and the production of IFN-
.
Overall, this study has illustrated the ability of a chimeric scFv
receptor capable of harnessing the signaling machinery of both TCR-
and CD28 to augment T cell immunity against tumors that have lost
expression of both MHC/peptide and costimulatory ligands in
vivo.
