CD20 is an effective immunotherapy target for CD20+B-cell malignant cells. Monoclonal antibody, especially rituximab, has been a conventional strategy in the treatment of B-cell malignancies such as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. However, treatment with monoclonal antibodies has not been enough to overcome the refractory/relapse problems. Chimeric antigen receptor engineered T (CAR-T) cells have exhibited excellent therapeutic effect on lymphocytic leukemia in recent years. In this study, a CD20-specific CAR was constructed and the cytotoxic efficacy of CD20 CAR-T cells on B-cell malignant cells was evaluated by CD107a degranulation, pro-inflammation cytokine production, and true lytic abilityin vitroandin vivo. It was found that CD20 CAR-T cells possessed stronger cytotoxic ability against CD20 highly expressed cells. Furthermore, when histone deacetylase inhibitor was used to enhance the expression of CD20 antigen on the surface of B-cell malignant cells via inducing acetylation of H3K9 on CD20 promoter site, it revealed that the cytotoxicity of CD20 CAR-T cells against histone deacetylase inhibitor–treated B-cell malignant cells was significantly enhanced.
