Abstrakt: CD19CAR-T cell therapy demonstrated promising outcomes in relapsed/refractory B-cell malignancies. Nonetheless, the limited T-cell function and ineffective T-cell apheresis for therapeutic purposes are still concern in heavily pretreated patients. We investigated the feasibility of generating hematopoietic stem cell-derived T lymphocytes (HSC-T) for cancer immunotherapy. The patients' autologous peripheral blood HSCs were enriched for CD34 + and CD3 + cells. The CD34 + cells were then cultured following three steps of lymphoid progenitor differentiation, T-cell differentiation, and T-cell maturation processes. HSC-T cells were successfully generated with robust fold expansion of 3735 times. After lymphoid progenitor differentiation, CD5 + and CD7 + cells remarkably increased (65-84 %) while CD34 + cells consequentially declined. The mature CD3 + cells were detected up to 40 % and 90 % on days 42 and 52, respectively. The majority of HSC-T population was naïve phenotype compared to CD3-T cells (73 % vs 34 %) and CD8:CD4 ratio was 2:1. The higher level of cytokine and cytotoxic granule secretion in HSC-T was observed after activation. HSC-T cells were assessed for clinical application and found that CD19CAR-transduced HSC-T cells demonstrated higher cytokine secretion and a trend of superior cytotoxicity against CD19 + target cells compared to control CAR-T cells. A chronic antigen stimulation assay revealed similar T-cell proliferation, stemness, and exhaustion phenotypes among CAR-T cell types. In conclusions, autologous HSC-T was feasible to generate with preserved T-cell efficacy. The HSC-T cells are potentially utilized as an alternative option for cellular immunotherapy.
