Abstract

Abstract:

In recent years, engineering T cell therapy has made great progress in tumor immunotherapy, which mainly includes T-cell receptor-engineered T cell (TCR-T) therapy and chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapy. Due to their structure difference, TCR-T and CAR-T cells show different characteristics in signal activation and antigen recognition. CAR has scFv derived from antibody, containing CD3ζ and costimulatory domain(s), making engineered CAR able to recognize specific tumor associated antigens. Therefore, CAR has an ability to bind unprocessed tumor surface antigens without MHC processing, while TCR engages with both tumor intracellular and surface antigens embedded in MHC. While CAR-T cell therapy has demonstrated a significant clinical effect against malignant blood tumors, TCR-T cell therapies have been tested in hematological and solid tumors. Even though clinical results are encouraging for both approaches, several major challenges have been identified, including: target antigen selection such as less tumor toxicity and antigen escape, T cell homing to the tumor, T cell infiltration into the tumor, T cell persistence, and local immunosuppression in the tumor microenvironment. Synthetic biology technologies have enabled flexible reprogramming of engineered T cells to overcome the aforementioned limitations, bringing new opportunities for improving their safety and effectiveness, but the choice of a suitable target antigen is still a key for success. Moreover, improved preclinical TCR/CAR screening is likely to enhance the safety of engineered T cell therapies, and additional T cell engineering to further enhance engineered T cells at various levels has generated promising results, including: (1) modulation of affinity, (2) safety control elements, and (3) targeting TME components. Future developments will likely harness combinatorial strategies to overcome challenges posed by the tumors. In this article, we address structure and signal activation, target selection, affinity optimization, safety modification and gene editing strategies for engineered T cells, and also review the potential synthetic biological approaches and latest progress of engineered T cell therapy in the application of tumor immunotherapy.

Key words: synthetic biology, engineering T cell therapy, TCR-T, CAR-T, tumor immunotherapy

摘要：

近年来，工程化T细胞治疗在肿瘤免疫治疗领域取得了重大进展。工程化T细胞治疗主要包括T细胞受体基因工程T细胞（T-cell receptor-engineered T cell， TCR-T）疗法和嵌合抗原受体T细胞（chimeric antigen receptor T cell， CAR-T）疗法，其中，CAR-T疗法在恶性血液肿瘤中展现出了巨大的潜力和应用价值，而TCR-T疗法则在部分实体瘤中呈现出了较好的治疗效果。然而，针对大部分肿瘤，特别是实体肿瘤，当前工程化T细胞疗法还存在效率低、安全性不足等问题。通过合成生物学手段使工程化T细胞克服当前限制，将为研制更安全、高效的工程化T细胞带来新的机遇。本文将从工程化T细胞的结构和信号激活、靶点选择、亲和力优化、安全性改造以及基因编辑改造等方面综述工程化T细胞的合成生物学改造策略，并探讨这些优化措施在肿瘤免疫治疗应用中的最新进展。
