CD4+ CAR-T cell exhaustion associated with early relapse of multiple myeloma after BCMA CAR-T cell therapy I

GSE246342 Homo sapiens Expression profiling by high throughput sequencing; Other 18 samples Submitted 2024/07/29 Platform GPL24676
Summary
Multiple myeloma is characterized by frequent clinical relapses following conventional therapy. Recently, chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cells targeting B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) has been established as a treatment for patients with relapsed or refractory disease. However, while >70% of patients initially respond to this treatment, clinical relapse and disease progression occurs in most cases. Recent studies showed persistent expression of BCMA at the time of relapse, indicating that immune intrinsic mechanisms may contribute to this resistance. While there were no pre-existing T cell features associated with clinical outcomes, we found that patients with a durable response to CAR-T cell treatment had greater persistence of their CAR-T cells compared to patients with transient clinical responses. They also possessed a significantly higher proportion of CD8+ T effector memory cells. In contrast, patients with short-lived responses to treatment have increased frequencies of cytotoxic CD4+ CAR-T cells. These cells expand in vivo early after infusion but express exhaustion markers (HAVCR2 and TIGIT) and remain polyclonal. Finally, we demonstrate that non-classical monocytes are enriched in the myeloma niche and may induce CAR-T cell dysfunction through mechanisms that include TGFβ. These findings shed new light on the role of cytotoxic CD4+ T cells in disease progression after CAR-T cell therapy.
