Streamlined production of genetically modified T cells with activation,transduction and expansion in closed-system G-Rex bioreactors

BackgroundGas Permeable Rapid Expansion (G-Rex) bioreactors have been shown to efficiently expand immune cells intended for therapeutic use, but do not address the complexity of the viral transduction step required for many engineered T-cell products. Here we demonstrate a novel method for transduction of activated T cells with Vectofusin-1 reagent. Transduction is accomplished in suspension, in G-Rex bioreactors. The simplified transduction step is integrated into a streamlined process that uses a single bioreactor with limited operator intervention.MethodsPeripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from healthy donors were thawed, washed and activated with soluble anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 antibodies either in cell culture bags or in G-Rex bioreactors. Cells were cultured in TexMACS GMP medium with interleukin (IL)-7 and IL-15 and transduced with RetroNectin in bags or Vectorfusin-1 in the G-Rex. Total viable cell number, fold expansion, viability, transduction efficiency, phenotype and function were compared between the two processes.ResultsThe simplified process uses a single vessel from activation through harvest and achieves 56% transduction with 29-fold expansion in 11 days. The cells generated in the simplified process do not differ from cells produced in the conventional bag-based process functionally or phenotypically.DiscussionThis study demonstrates that T cells can be transduced in suspension. Further, the conventional method of generating engineered T cells in bags for clinical use can be streamlined to a much simpler, less-expensive process without compromising the quality or function of the cell product.     

A highly standardized and characterized human platelet lysate for efficient and reproducible expansion of human bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells

BackgroundHuman platelet lysate (hPL) represents a powerful alternative to fetal bovine serum (FBS) for human mesenchymal stromal cell (hMSC) expansion. However, the large variability in hPL sources and production protocols gives rise to discrepancies in product quality, characterization and poor batch-to-batch standardization.MethodshPL prepared with more than 200 donors (200+DhPL) or with five donors (5DhPL) were compared in terms of growth factor (GF) contents and biochemical analysis. A multiple protein assay and proteomic analysis were performed to further characterize 200+DhPL batches. We also compared the phenotypic and functional characteristics of bone marrow (BM)-hMSCs grown in 200+DhPL versus FBS+basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF).ResultsBy contrast to 5DhPL, industrial 200+DhPL displayed a strong standardization of GF contents and biochemical characteristics. We identified specific plasmatic components and platelet-released factors as the most relevant markers for the evaluation of the standardization of hPL batches. We used a multiplex assay and proteomic analysis of 200+DhPL to establish a proteomic signature and demonstrated the robust standardization of batches. 200+DhPL was shown to improve and standardize BM-hMSC expansion compared with FBS+bFGF. The levels of expression of BM-hMSC membrane markers were found to be much more homogeneous between batches when cells were cultured in 200+DhPL. BM-hMSCs cultured in parallel under both conditions displayed similar adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation potential and immunosuppressive properties.ConclusionsWe report a standardization of hPL and the importance of such standardization for the efficient amplification of more homogeneous and reproducible cell therapy products.     

Mesenchymal stromal cell therapy: progress in manufacturing and assessments of potency

Mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) therapies have been pursued for a broad spectrum of indications but mixed reports on clinical efficacy have given rise to some degree of skepticism regarding the effectiveness of this approach. However, recent reports of successful clinical outcomes and regulatory approvals for graft-versus-host disease, Crohn's disease and critical limb ischemia have prompted a shift in this perspective. With hundreds of clinical trials involving MSCs currently underway and an increasing demand for large-scale manufacturing protocols, there is a critical need to develop standards that can be applied to processing methods and to establish consensus assays for both MSC processing control and MSC product release. Reference materials and validated, uniformly applied tests for quality control of MSC products are needed. Here, we review recent developments in MSC manufacturing technologies, release testing and potency assays. We conclude that, although MSCs hold considerable promise clinically, economies of scale have yet to be achieved although numerous bioreactor technologies for scalable production of MSCs exist. Additionally, rigorous disease-specific product testing and comprehensive understanding of mechanisms of action, which are linked to relevant process and product release potency assays, will be required to ensure that these therapies continue to be successful.     

Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes: Streamlining a complex manufacturing process

Adoptive cell therapy of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes has shown promise for treatment of refractory melanoma and other solid malignancies; however, challenges to manufacturing have limited its widespread use. Traditional manufacturing efforts were lengthy, cumbersome and used open culture systems. We describe changes in testing and manufacturing that decreased the process cycle time, enhanced the robustness of critical quality attribute testing and facilitated a functionally closed system. These changes have enabled export of the manufacturing process to support multi-center clinical trials.
