The expression of BMI-1 (B lymphoma Mo-MLV insertion region 1 homolog), a member of the polycomb-group genes (PcG), is well correlated with a poor prognosis and treatment failure among patients with malignancies such as myelodysplastic syndrome, chronic myeloid leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia and lymphoma. 1–3 Recently, we found that BMI-1 renders B-cell lymphoma cells refractory to several anti-cancer drugs by inducing the expression of survivin. 4 There is an urgent clinical need to find therapeutics to treat patients with lymphoma cells overexpressing BMI-1 and survivin. Although in the pre-rituximab era (Rituximab, IDEC Pharmaceuticals, San Diego, CA, USA), the long-term remission rate for patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) was 50–60%, the addition of rituximab has led to an enormous improvement in survival. As rituximab has more significantly improved the overall survival, event-free survival and progression-free survival of patients with non-germinal center B cell-type DLBCL, which have a poor prognosis, than those with germinal center B cell-type DLBCL, 5–9 immunotherapy with an antibody such as rituximab may function by overcoming drugresistant genes including Bcl-2, Bcl-6 and Bcl-xL. 10 We previously developed T cells with a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) against CD38 and reported that these CD38-specific T cells effectively eliminated B-cell lymphoma cells in vitro and in vivo. 11, 12 This is because CD38 is widely and highly expressed in B-cell lymphoma cells (40–50% of patients with the B-cell typed), 13 especially in AIDS-associated lymphoma cells14 and DLBCL cells bearing t (14; 18) with aggressiveness (100% of these patients). 15 We, thus investigated whether T cells bearing an anti-CD38-CAR exerted cytotoxicity against B-cell lymphoma cells expressing BMI-1 and survivin. Here we report that, the CD38-specific T cells efficiently eliminated chemotherapy-resistant B-lymphoma cells overexpressing BMI-1 and survivin, and propose that T-cell immunotherapy with CAR may be useful for treating refractory B-cell lymphoma.Two lymphoma cell lines (HT and RL) obtained from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC)(Manassas, VA, USA) were cultured in RPMI-1640 medium supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum (FCS) at 37 1C. The cells were transduced with a vesicular stomatitis virus G glycoprotein (VSVG)-pseudotyped retrovirus containing MSCV-BMI-1-Flag-IRES-GFP or MSCV-IRES-GFP alone and the GFP-positive cells were sorted by FACS Aria (BD, San Jose, CA, USA). Primary cells were obtained from the lymph node, pleural effusion, and spleen of patients with lymphoma, and peripheral blood cells from healthy donors, and subjected to Ficoll-density centrifugation. Informed consent was obtained from all of the patients and donors. Patients with B-cell lymphoma and donors were examined as approved by the institutional review board at Hiroshima University. The retroviral vector construct consisting of GFP, the transmembrane domain of CD8a, 4-1BB, CD3z and anti-CD38 scFv was made previously. 11
