摘要
Engineered T cells expressing chimeric antigen receptor(CAR)exhibit high response rates in B-cell malignancy treatments and possess therapeutic potentials against various diseases.However,the complicated ex vivo production process of CAR-T cells limits their application.Herein,we use virus-mimetic fusogenic nanovesicles(FuNVs)to produce CAR-T cells in vivo via membrane fusion-mediated CAR protein delivery.Briefly,the FuNVs are modified using T-cell fusogen,adapted from measles virus or reovirus fusogens via displaying anti-CD3 single-chain variable fragment.The FuNVs can efficiently fuse with the T-cell membrane in vivo,thereby delivering the loaded anti-CD19(aCD19)CAR protein onto T-cells to produce aCD19 CAR-T cells.These aCD19 CAR-T cells alone or in combination with anti-OX40 antibodies can treat B-cell lymphoma without inducing cytokine release syndrome.Thus,our strategy provides a novel method for engineering T cells into CAR-T cells in vivo and can further be employed to deliver other therapeutic membrane proteins.
