We have previously demonstrated that cystatin E/M (CST6), which is elevated in a subset of patients with multiple myeloma (MM) lacking osteolytic lesions (OLs), suppresses MM bone disease by blocking osteoclast differentiation and function. CST6 is a secreted type 2 cystatin, a cysteine protease inhibitor that regulates lysosomal cysteine proteases and the asparaginyl endopeptidase legumain. Here, we developed B cell maturation antigen (BCMA) CST6 chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR-T cells), which lysed MM cells and released CST6 proteins. Our in vitro studies show that these CAR-T cells suppressed the differentiation and formation of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase–positive (TRAP+) osteoclasts. Using xenografted MM mice, bioluminescence images showed that both BCMA–CAR-T and BCMA–CST6–CAR-T cells inhibited MM growth to a similar extent. Reconstructed micro–computed tomography images revealed that BCMA–CST6–CAR-T cells, but not BCMA–CAR-T cells, prevented MM-induced bone damage and decreased osteoclast numbers. Our results provide a CAR-T strategy that targets tumor cells directly and delivers an inhibitor of bone resorption. BCMA-CST6-CAR-T cells target multiple myeloma and release large amounts of CST6 to suppress osteolytic lesions.
