Abstract: | Background aimsChimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy is a promising treatment strategy in solid tumors. In vivo cell tracking techniques can help us better understand the infiltration, persistence and therapeutic efficacy of CAR T cells. In this field, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can achieve high-resolution images of cells by using cellular imaging probes. MRI can also provide various biological information on solid tumors.MethodsThe authors adopted the amino alcohol derivatives of glucose-coated nanoparticles, ultra-small superparamagnetic particles of iron oxide (USPIOs), to label CAR T cells for non-invasive monitoring of kinetic infiltration and persistence in glioblastoma (GBM). The specific targeting CARs included anti-human epidermal growth factor receptor variant III and IL13 receptor subunit alpha 2 CARs.ResultsWhen using an appropriate concentration, USPIO labeling exerted no negative effects on the biological characteristics and killing efficiency of CAR T cells. Increasing hypointensity signals could be detected in GBM models by susceptibility-weighted imaging MRI ranging from 3 days to 14 days following the injection of USPIO-labeled CAR T cells. In addition, nanoparticles and CAR T cells were found on consecutive histopathological sections. Moreover, diffusion and perfusion MRI revealed significantly increased water diffusion and decreased vascular permeability on day 3 after treatment, which was simultaneously accompanied by a significant decrease in tumor cell proliferation and increase in intercellular tight junction on immunostaining sections.ConclusionThese results establish an effective imaging technique that can track CAR T cells in GBM models and validate their early therapeutic effects, which may guide the evaluation of CAR T-cell therapies in solid tumors. |
