In vitro anti-sarcoma cytotoxicity of IGF1R and ROR1 CAR T cells.

(A) Cytotoxicity against IGF1R+ target cells including sarcoma cell lines by SB modified IGF1R CAR T cells derived from two healthy donors. PBL1-IGZ, PBL1-IG, PBL2-IGZ and PBL2-mock T cells were generated by transfection of PBMCs derived from two healthy donors (PBL1 and PBL2) using pKT2-CaIG:Z or pKT2-CaIG plus pCMV-SB100X plasmids or without DNA. PBL-CD19CAR T cells were used as control. PBL1-IGZ: Rh1 vs K562 and OS17 vs K562, p < 0.001 at all 3 E/T ratios. PBL1-IG: Rh1 vs K562 and OS17 vs K562, p < 0.01. PBL2-IGZ: Rh1 vs K562, p < 0.001, OS17 vs K562, p < 0.01. Killing of Rh1 and OS17 in each CAR T cell group was also significant compared to the corresponding tumor cells in mock T cell group (p < 0.05). (B) Cytotoxicity of IGF1R CAR T cells against a panel of sarcoma cell lines. Comparisons in PBL1-IGZ and PBL2-IGZ were conducted between each sarcoma line and K562, P = 0.0001 at all E/T ratios. (C) Cytotoxicity against sarcoma cells by IGF1R CAR T cells derived from four more healthy donors but not by mock T cells. Comparisons in PBL3-IGZ, PBL4-IGZ, PBL5-IGZ and PBL6-IGZ were conducted between Rh30 vs K562 and SaOS2 vs K562, P = 0.0001 at all E/T ratios.(D) Expression of human IGF1R in R- transfected cell line confirmed by flow cytometry. (E) Specific cytotoxicity against human IGF1R transfected cell line by IGF1R CAR T cells. Comparisons in PBL3-IGZ, PBL4-IGZ, PBL5-IGZ and PBL6-IGZ were conducted between R- and R-/IGF1R, P = 0.0001 at all E/T ratios. (F) Expression of ROR1 in DB and RBV-LCL cell lines. ROR1- K562 and ROR1+ RPMI8226 were used as control (data not shown). (G) Cytotoxicity against ROR1+ target cells including a sarcoma cell line by ROR1 CAR T cells derived from two healthy donors. Comparisons in PBL7-RGZ, PBL7-GZ, PBL8-RGZ and PBL8-GZ were conducted between each target cell and K562 at all E/T ratios. PBL7-RGZ: SaOS2 vs K562, p = 0.0001, 0.0008, 0.0001 (E/T of 60:1, 20:1 and 6:1). PBL7-GZ: SaOS2 vs K562, p = 0.0221, 0.0762, 0.1121. PBL8-RGZ: SaOS2 vs K562, p = 0.0001, 0.0009, 0.0041. PBL8-GZ: SAOS2 vs K562, p = 0.2585, 0.8439, 0.9298. P values for DB vs K562 and EBV-LCL vs K562 were not shown. All cytotoxicity data shown are mean ± S.E. of triplicates.
