Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract The Pediatric Leukemia Adoptive Therapy (PLAT) trials at Seattle Children’s Hospital have pioneered the use of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell (CAR-T) therapies in pediatric patients with B cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. The landmark PLAT-02 trial (n=45), utilizing a second-generation CD19-directed CAR, observed a 93% remission rate following CAR-T infusion. However, approximately half of these subjects relapsed within one year and nearly a third of those tumors no longer expressed the CD19 target. The PLAT-04 trial (n=4) was subsequently conceived with a second-generation CAR (SCRI-C22v1) engineered to target CD22, an alternative antigen expressed on the B cell surface. Despite promising preclinical data, SCRI-C22v1 failed to generate anti-leukemic activity in all four subjects and the trial was halted. In response, a different second-generation CD22-directed CAR (SCRI-C22v2) was engineered, replacing the CD28 transmembrane domain and IgG4 hinge domain in SCRI-C22v1 with a continuous CD8 hinge and transmembrane domain while retaining identical 4-1BB and CD3ζ intracellular signaling domains. The modified SCRI-C22v2 displayed improved anti-tumor activity in preclinical models and was ultimately tested in patients in the PLAT-07 trial (n=4), where it exhibited strong in vivo expansion and persistence while inducing complete remission after 1 month in all four subjects. To investigate the molecular signaling responsible for clinical differences observed between SCRI-C22v1 and SCRI-C22v2, we applied an emerging proteomic technology, Quantitative Multiplex Immunoprecipitation (QMI), that captures medium-throughput quantitative data about fold changes in protein interaction networks downstream of the CAR. CAR-T products from healthy donors expressing either SCRI-C22v1 or SCRI-C22v2 were stimulated with fixed K562 cells expressing CD22 and protein interaction networks were profiled with QMI, revealing distinct differences in signal transduction downstream of the CAR. Contrary to expectation, it was the ineffective SCRI-C22v1 that exhibited significantly enhanced signalosome formation, engaging more strongly than SCRI-C22v2 with both the classical CD3ζ-ZAP70-LAT-SLP76 pathway as well as the non-classical TRAF pathway. Interestingly, the clinically successful SCRI-C22v2 demonstrated stronger baseline engagement with inhibitory molecules that attenuate canonical TCR signaling such as SHP2 and UBASH3A, suggesting regulatory control of CAR signaling is crucial for optimal clinical responses. Since the CAR is a synthetic receptor, it should be possible to bioengineer optimized signal transduction to some extent, and our group continues to work towards identifying an optimized QMI signature that can be used as a CAR-tune network for the rational design of more effective CAR-T therapies.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
