Fig. 5. OSCAR T cell safety assessments.
a, b OSCAR T cell cytotoxic activity measured as TNFα production and expression on CD8 (top) and CD4 (bottom) T cells upon co-culture with different normal tissues. TNFα expression is detected by flow cytometry intracellular staining at 6 h co-incubation at an E:T ratio of 1:2. a OSCAR T cell cytotoxicity against human MSCs and MSC-derived osteoblasts at different stages of differentiation. Data are mean ± s.d. pooled from three independent experiments (n = 3). OSCAR T cells are from three healthy donors. Human MSC are from two donors. Statistical comparisons were performed with two-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparison test (ns not significant p > 0.05, *p < 0.05, ****p < 0.0001). b OSCAR-1 and OSCAR-3 T cell reactivity against healthy tissue cells representing lung (MRC-5, Hulec-5a, HPAEpiC), liver (HH), and kidney (HREpC). Data are mean ± s.d. pooled from three independent experiments (n = 3). OSCAR T cells are from three healthy donors. Statistical comparisons were performed with two-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparison test (ns not significant p > 0.05, ****p < 0.0001). c ALPL and TP-3 protein expression in different tumor cell lines from osteosarcoma (OHS, OSA, SaOS-2, LM7, U2OS), other tumors (MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, SK-OV-3, HeLa, HCT116, Caco-2, LS174T, U87, U251, U251mg, EBV-LCL, Rec-1, U-2932, BL-41, K562, THP-1, PANC-1, HEK, PC-3) and cells from different healthy tissues (BJ, HUVEC), distinct cell types from PBMCs (n = 3), and BM (n = 3, except HSCs n = 1). Results were normalized by the ratio between the Mean Fluorescence Intensity (MFI) obtained after staining with ALPL (green) or TP-3 (blue) and that of the appropriate control, before log2 transformation. U2OS is empty circle. d OSCAR-1 and OSCAR-3 T cell reactivity versus hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HST) from healthy bone marrow by colony-forming unit (CFU) assay. OSCAR T cells and HST were co-cultured at a 10:1 E:T ratio. Data represents the number of counted colonies; white, red, and total (mixed) colonies. Data are shown as mean ± s.d. pooled from two independent experiments with two donors (n = 2).
