Abstract Background Chemotherapy and surgery have been the mainstays of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) treatment so far. Cellular immunotherapies such as CAR T cell therapy have recently given hope of a cure for solid tumors like EOC. However, extrinsic factors associated with the CAR T cell manufacturing process and/or intrinsic dysregulation of patient-derived T cells, which could be associated with cancer itself, cancer stage, and treatment regimen, may hamper the efficacy of CAR T cell therapy and promote their exhaustion or dysfunction. Methods To investigate the association of these factors with CAR T cell exhaustion, the frequency of T and CAR T cells expressing three immune inhibitory receptors (i.e., TIM3, PD1, A2aR) generated from T cells of EOC patients and healthy controls was measured during each stage of CAR T cell production. Results Our findings revealed that primary T cells from EOC patients show significantly elevated expression of immune inhibitory receptors, and this increase was more prominent in patients undergoing chemotherapy and those with advanced cancer. In addition, the CAR T cell manufacturing process itself was found to upregulate the expression of these inhibitory receptors and more importantly increase the population of exhausted mesoCAR T cells. Conclusions Our observations suggest that intrinsic characteristics of patient-derived T cells and extrinsic factors in CAR T cell production protocols should be considered and properly counteracted during CAR T cell manufacturing process. In addition, mitigating the signaling of immune inhibitory receptors through pharmacological/genetic perturbation during CAR T cell manufacturing might profoundly improve CAR T cells function and their antitumor activity in EOC and other solid tumors. |
