RESUMEN

Adoptive T cell therapies have produced exceptional responses in a subset of patients with cancer. However, therapeutic efficacy can be hindered by poor T cell persistence and function1. In human T cell cancers, evolution of the disease positively selects for mutations that improve fitness of T cells in challenging situations analogous to those faced by therapeutic T cells. Therefore, we reasoned that these mutations could be co-opted to improve T cell therapies. Here we systematically screened the effects of 71 mutations from T cell neoplasms on T cell signalling, cytokine production and in vivo persistence in tumours. We identify a gene fusion, CARD11-PIK3R3, found in a CD4+ cutaneous T cell lymphoma2, that augments CARD11-BCL10-MALT1 complex signalling and anti-tumour efficacy of therapeutic T cells in several immunotherapy-refractory models in an antigen-dependent manner. Underscoring its potential to be deployed safely, CARD11-PIK3R3-expressing cells were followed up to 418 days after T cell transfer in vivo without evidence of malignant transformation. Collectively, our results indicate that exploiting naturally occurring mutations represents a promising approach to explore the extremes of T cell biology and discover how solutions derived from evolution of malignant T cells can improve a broad range of T cell therapies.

RESUMEN

Plasmodium parasites cause malaria, a global health disease that is responsible for more than 200 million clinical cases and 600 000 deaths each year. Most deaths are caused by various complications, including malaria-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome (MA-ARDS). Despite the very rapid and efficient killing of parasites with antimalarial drugs, 15% of patients with complicated malaria succumb. This stresses the importance of investigating resolution mechanisms that are involved in the recovery from these complications once the parasite is killed. To study the resolution of MA-ARDS, P. berghei NK65-infected C57BL/6 mice were treated with antimalarial drugs after onset of symptoms, resulting in 80% survival. Micro-computed tomography revealed alterations of the lungs upon infection, with an increase in total and non-aerated lung volume due to edema. Whole body plethysmography confirmed a drastically altered lung ventilation, which was restored during resolution. Single-cell RNA sequencing indicated an increased inflammatory state in the lungs upon infection, which was accompanied by a drastic decrease in endothelial cells, consistent with CD8+ T cell-mediated killing. During resolution, anti-inflammatory pathways were upregulated and proliferation of endothelial cells was observed. MultiNicheNet interactome analysis identified important changes in the ligand-receptor interactions during disease resolution that warrant further exploration in order to develop new therapeutic strategies. In conclusion, our study provides insights in pro-resolving pathways that limit inflammation and promote endothelial cell proliferation in experimental MA-ARDS. This information may be useful for the design of adjunctive treatments to enhance resolution after Plasmodium parasite killing by antimalarial drugs.
