Review Title: | Programming CAR T cell tumor recognition: Tuned antigen sensing and logic gating |
Abstract: | The success of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells targeting B-cell malignancies propelled the field of synthetic immunology and raised hopes to treat solid tumors in a similar fashion. Antigen escape and the paucity of tumor-restricted CAR targets are recognized challenges to fulfilling this prospect. Recent advances in CAR T cell engineering extend the toolbox of chimeric receptors available to calibrate antigen sensitivity and combine receptors to create adapted tumor-sensing T cells. Emerging engineering strategies to lower the threshold for effective antigen recognition, when needed, and enable composite antigen recognition hold great promise for overcoming tumor heterogeneity and curbing off-tumor toxicities. SIGNIFICANCE: Improving the clinical efficacy of CAR T cell therapies will require engineering T cells that overcome heterogeneous and low-abundance target expression while minimizing reactivity to normal tissues. Recent advances in CAR design and logic gating are poised to extend the success of CAR T cell therapies beyond B-cell malignancies. ©2023 The Authors; Published by the American Association for Cancer Research. |
