项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY / ABSTRACT While chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) gene therapy was initially tried and abandoned for HIV about 15 years ago, it has recently shown increasing usage and promise for treating cancer. This project revisits this approach for HIV, addressing the key barriers that prevented its success against HIV in the past, including harnessing hematopoietic stem precursor cells (HSPCs) to generate functional and durable CAR T cells in vivo, and generating novel CARs based on broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) and CAR combinations to prevent viral escape. Our specific aims are: 1. To optimize engraftment of bNAb CAR-transduced HSPCs. CAR T cells would develop entirely in vivo starting from HSPCs, avoiding the caveats of ex vivo T cell expansion and transduction to provide a lifelong self-renewing source. Engraftment will be tested and optimized in a humanized mouse model that recapitulates T cell development (CD34-mice, which are immunodeficient mice reconstituted with blood stem cells from adult human donors). 2. To generate bi-specific combined bNAb CARs to reduce options for HIV-1 escape. Novel CARs will be designed using new bi-specific antibody technologies, creating bi-specific CARs. 3. To select CAR combinations with the best antiviral breadth in vivo. Dual combinations of bi-specific CARs will be challenged in vivo in the CD34- mouse model with artificially diverse HIV-1 quasispecies to determine combinations with effective containment, analogous to combination antiretroviral therapy. These studies will lay the groundwork for successful new approaches to treating HIV infection with CAR gene therapy, which will be a valuable component in future cure strategies.

项目摘要 /摘要虽然大约15年前，嵌合抗原受体（CAR）基因疗法最初是在HIV中尝试并放弃的，但最近显示出越来越多的治疗癌症的用法和有望。该项目重新审视了这种艾滋病毒的方法，解决了阻止其过去对艾滋病毒成功的关键障碍，包括利用造血性干型前体细胞（HSPC）在体内产生功能和耐用的汽车T细胞，以及基于广泛中和的抗体（BNABS）和汽车组合的新型汽车，并产生新颖的汽车。我们的具体目的是： 1。优化BNAB CAR转导的HSPC的植入。 CAR T细胞将完全从HSPC开始在体内发展，从而避免了体内T细胞膨胀和转导的警告，从而提供了终生的自我更新来源。植入将在人源化的小鼠模型中进行测试和优化，该模型概括了T细胞发育（CD34-小鼠，它们是与成人人类供体的血液干细胞重构的免疫缺陷小鼠）。 2。生成双特异性BNAB汽车，以减少HIV-1逃逸的选择。新车将使用新的双特异性抗体技术设计，从而创建双特异性汽车。 3。选择体内最佳抗病毒宽度的汽车组合。在CD34-小鼠模型中，双重组合的双重组合将受到人为多样化的HIV-1准菜的体内挑战，以确定与有效遏制的组合，类似于抗逆转录病毒疗法。这些研究将为成功治疗艾滋病毒感染的成功新方法奠定基础，这将是未来治愈策略的宝贵组成部分。
