Abstract
Objective: To investigate the expression features of common anti-glioma CAR-T targets (B7H3, CSPG4, EGFRv III, HER2 and IL-13Ra2) in gliomas with different grades and molecular subtypes, and explore the association of target expression with glioma malignant or immune phenotypes including immune evasion, stemness, antigen presentation, and tumor angiogenesis.
Methods: Opal™ Multiplex immunofluorescence staining was performed on glioma tissues to detect the expression of targets, and biomarkers related to the phenotypes.
Results: High variety of CAR-T target expression among glioma subtypes was observed. GBMs exhibited the highest expression level of all the examined targets among glioma subtypes. In all glioma cases, CSPG4 was the most prevalent target covering over 84% glioma cases, followed by B7H3 at over 64%. B7H3 exhibited the highest coverage (94%) in GBMs while CSPG4 was the most popular target in both oligodendrogliomas and astrocytomas, covering 94% and 80% cases, respectively. Bi or tri-target combination strategies markedly expanded the tumor coverage across glioma cases while increased tumor-cell coverage within tumor. PD-L1 expression was significantly enriched in all the target-positive cells (except the EGFRvIII+ cells); CD133 expression was higher in the CSPG4+ or IL-13Ra2+ cells, and CD31 elevated in the B7H3+ cells, as compared with their negative cell populations.
Conclusion: Anti-glioma CAR-T targets have heterogenous expression and distinct tumor coverage among glioma subtypes, and closely correlate with glioma malignant or immune phenotypes.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Neuro-Oncology is a multi-disciplinary journal encompassing basic, applied, and clinical investigations in all research areas as they relate to cancer and the central nervous system. It provides a single forum for communication among neurologists, neurosurgeons, radiotherapists, medical oncologists, neuropathologists, neurodiagnosticians, and laboratory-based oncologists conducting relevant research. The Journal of Neuro-Oncology does not seek to isolate the field, but rather to focus the efforts of many disciplines in one publication through a format which pulls together these diverse interests. More than any other field of oncology, cancer of the central nervous system requires multi-disciplinary approaches. To alleviate having to scan dozens of journals of cell biology, pathology, laboratory and clinical endeavours, JNO is a periodical in which current, high-quality, relevant research in all aspects of neuro-oncology may be found.
