1.Clinical effect of recombinant human interferon α1b adjuvant therapy in infectious mononucleosis: a prospective randomized controlled trial.
Chinese Journal of Contemporary Pediatrics 2020;22(9):953-957
OBJECTIVE:
To study the clinical effect of recombinant human interferon α1b assisting acyclovir on immune function, inflammatory factors, and myocardial zymogram in children with infectious mononucleosis (IM).
METHODS:
A total of 182 children with IM who were admitted to the hospital from January to December, 2018, were divided into an observation group with 91 children and a control group with 91 children using a random number table. The children in the control group were treated with intravenous drip of acyclovir, and those in the observation group were treated with inhalation of recombinant human interferon α1b in addition to the treatment in the control group. The two groups were compared in terms of clinical symptoms, immune function, inflammatory response, myocardial zymogram, and adverse reactions.
RESULTS:
Compared with the control group, the observation group had significantly shorter time to body temperature recovery and disappearance of isthmopyra, cervical lymph node enlargement, hepatomegaly, and splenomegaly (P<0.05). After treatment, both groups had significant increases in CD4, CD4/CD8, and CD19, and the observation group had significantly higher levels of these markers than the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, both groups had significant reductions in the levels of CD8+, tumor necrosis factor-α, interlukin-6, creatine kinase, and creatine kinase-MB, and the treatment group had significantly lower levels of these markers than the control group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence rate of adverse reactions between the two groups after treatment (P>0.05).
CONCLUSIONS
For children with IM, recombinant human interferon α1b assisting acyclovir can effectively improve immune function, inhibit inflammatory reaction, reduce myocardial injury, and thus alleviate clinical symptoms.

B cell activated co-receptor plays important roles in linkage of innate and acquired humoral immune responses. CD21 molecule in the co-receptor complex is a receptor for C3dg and CD19 molecule enhances BCR signal transduction. CD21 also expresses on the surface of follicular dendritic cells, which mediates the long-term maintenance of antigens and is indispensable for maintaining the memory of B cells. B cell activated co-receptor also has an effect on the negative selection of B cells reactive to autoantigens.

The chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy has gradually became a new trend in the treatment of refractory and relapsed hematologic malignancies by developing for 30 years. With the exciting development of genetic engineering, CAR-T technology has subjected to 4 generations of innovation. Structure of CAR-T started from a single signal molecule to 2 or more than 2 co-stimulatory molecules, and then coding the CAR gene or promoter. CAR-T can specifically recognize tumor antigens, and does not be restricted by major histocompatibility complex (MHC), thus making a breakthrough in clinical treatment. In this review, the history, structure and mechanism of action of CAR-T, as well as the current status and challenges of CAR-T immunotherapy in acute lymphoblastic leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia, chronic myeloid leukemia and multiple myeloma are summarized.

OBJECTIVETo improve the MigR1-CD19-CAR (chimeric antigen receptor) that contains a single chain variable region (scFv) which targeted to CD19 through a retroviral vector transduction efficiency of T-lymphocytes.
METHODSInsert the CD19-CAR fragment into the retroviral vector (MigR1) through recombinant DNA technology, after transfecting plat-A packaging cell lines, viral supernatant was collected to transduce K562 cell line and activated human T-lymphocytes. We used flow cytometry to determine the transduction efficiency and RT-PCR to confirm the transcription of CD19-CAR gene. The ability of the transduced T cells to produce IFN-γ and TNF-α in a CD19-specific manner was measured in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent (ELISA) assay.
RESULTS(1)Using MigR1-CD19-CAR retroviral vector to produce the high titer retrovirus. (2)MigR1-CD19-CAR transduction efficiency of K562 cell line was significantly higher than human T-lymphocytes (P<0.01). (3)120 min centrifugation could significantly improve transduction efficiency of T-lymphocytes to (54.5±14.6)%. (4)Transduction efficiency could be improved by deciding transduce time according to T-lymphocytes proliferation fold in vitro individually, and the highest transduction efficiency in the study was 69.3%. The CD19-CAR gene sequence was transcripted specificly with high efficiency. (5) IFN-γ and TNF-α released by CD19-CAR transduced T-lymphocytes significantly increased to (13 230±1 543) pg/ml and (4 217±211) pg/ml when coculture with CD19-K562 cells.
CONCLUSIONWe have successfully constructed a second generation CAR which targeted to CD19 through a retroviral vector called MigR1 (MigR1-CD19-CAR). Deciding transduce time according to T-lymphocytes proliferation fold in vitro individually and 120 min centrifugation could improve the CAR transduction efficiency of T-lymphocytes. RT-PCR confirmed that the CD19-CAR gene was specificly transcripted with high efficiency. IFN-γ and TNF-α released by CD19-CAR transduced T-lymphocytes significantly increased when activated by target cells.

OBJECTIVE:
To study the expression of CD19B cells in immune thrombocytopenia patients, and to analyze the involvement of serum Breg in the pathogenesis of ITP.
METHODS:
A total of 68 ITP patients admitted in department of hematology in our hospital from August 2015 to August 2018 were selected and enrolled in ITP group. 30 healthy individuals who were admitted to physical examination center at the same time were selected and enrolled in control group. The expression of peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets CD19 and peripheral blood Breg cells were measured by flow cytometry. The difference between the ITP group and the control group was compared. The IL-10 mRNA and TGF-β1 mRNA levels were detected by RT-PCR. Correlations between the ratio of peripheral blood Breg cells and the expression of IL-10 mRNA and TGF-β1 mRNA in patients with immune thrombocytopenia, were analyzed.
RESULTS:
Expression of CD19 in ITP group was significantly higher than that in control group. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant. Expression level of serum Breg cells in ITP group was lower than that in control group. IL-10 mRNA level in ITP group was significantly lower than that in control group. IL-10 mRNA level after treatment was significantly higher than that before treatment. In addition, TGF-β1 mRNA level in newly diagnosed ITP group was significantly higher than that in control group. After treatment, the TGF-β1 mRNA level was higher than that before treatment. The ratio of peripheral blood Breg cells positively correlated with IL-10 mRNA expression (r=0.968, P<0.05), however, there was no correlation between peripheral blood Breg cell ratio and TGF-β1 mRNA expression (r=0.502, P>0.05).
CONCLUSION
Expression of CD19 cells in ITP patients is increased. Breg cells may participate in the genesis of immune thrombocytopenia. The abnormal expression of Breg cells relates with the pathogenesis of immune thrombocytopenia.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the safety and efficacy of novel CD19-KIRS2/Dap12-BB chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR-T cells) in the treatment of relapsed/refractory B-cell malignancy (R/R BCM).
METHODS:
Three patients with R/R BCM treated with novel CD19-KIRS2/Dap12-BB CAR-T cells from June 2020 to November 2020 were enrolled, including 1 case of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (B-ALL) and 2 cases of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), and the efficacy and adverse reactions were observed.
RESULTS:
After CAR-T cells infusion, patient with B-ALL achieved complete remission (CR) and minimal residual disease (MRD) turned negative, and 2 patients with NHL achieved partial remission (PR). Grade 2 cytokine release syndrome (CRS) occurred in B-ALL patient, grade 1 CRS occurred in 2 NHL patients, and grade II to IV hematologic adverse reactions occurred in 3 patients, all of which were controllable and reversible. The progression-free survival (PFS) of the 3 patients was 143, 199, and 91 days, and overall survival (OS) was 282, 430, and 338 days, respectively.
CONCLUSION
The novel CD19-KIRS2/Dap12-BB CAR-T cells in treatment of 3 patients with R/R BCM have significant short-term efficacy and controllable adverse reactions, but the long-term efficacy needs to be further improved.

Objective: To construct humanized anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T cells and investigate its ability to kill leukemia cells in vitro and in vivo. Methods: Humanized anti-human CD19 antibody with a high affinity was obtained based on mouse anti-human CD19 antibody (FMC63). Humanized CD19 CAR-T cells (hCART19) were constructed through transfection of lentivirus carrying a CAR sequence of humanized anti-CD19 scFv into human peripheral CD3(+) T cells. The ability of hCART19 to kill leukemia cells and secrete cytokines was detected by LDH release assay and ELISA. The in vivo tumor-killing effect of hCART19 was evaluated in a leukemia mouse model. Results: Several different humanized CD19 single-chain antibodies which were constructed by IMGT database were expressed in the eukaryotic expression vector and purified followed by acquiring humanized CD19 antibody (Clone H3L2) with similar binding ability to FMC63. Humanized CD19 CAR lentivirus vector was constructed and transfected into T cells to obtain hCART19 cells. The LDH release experiment confirmed that the killing rate of target cells was increased gradually along with the increased E/T ratio. When the ratio of E/T was 10∶1, the killing rate of target cells by hCART19 reached a maximum. When Raji cells were used as target cells, the hCART19 cells group had a significantly higher kill rate [(87.56±1.99)%] than the untransduced T cells group [(19.31±1.16)%] and the control virus transduced T cells group [(21.35±1.19)%](P<0.001). ELISA analysis showed that the secretion of IL-2 [ (10.56±0.88) pg/ml] and IFN-γ [ (199.02±12.66) pg/ml] in the hCART19 cells group were significantly higher than those in the untransduced T cells group [IL-2: (3.55±0.26) pg/ml; IFN-γ: (37.63±0.85) pg/ml] and the control virus transduced T cells group [IL-2: (2.92±0.32) pg/ml; IFN-γ: (52.07±3.33) pg/ml](P<0.001). The above experiments also showed similar results when CHO-K1-CD19 cells were used as target cells. Moreover, in a human leukemia xenograft animal model, the results showed that mice in the untransduced T cells group and the control virus transduced T cells group all died within 20 to 30 days, and the hCART19 cell group survived >40 days, which was more than the survival time of the other two groups of mice. The difference was statistically significant (χ(2)=11.73, P=0.008). Conclusion: Humanized CD19 CAR-T cells with anti-leukemic activity have been successfully constructed, which will lay a foundation for clinical studies in the future.

Objective: To explore the efficacy and safety of chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cells in the treatment of central nervous system leukemia (CNSL). Methods: Two leukemia patients with CNSL were treated with CD19-CAR-T cells. The process and results of the entire treatment is reported and related literature review is conducted. Results: The patients were diagnosed as acute myeloid leukemia (AML)-M(2) with B lymphoid antigen expression and B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia(B-ALL) by morphology and immunophenotype assay. The immunophenotype was consistent with the abnormal manifestations of AML-M(2) and B-ALL. Their clinical manifestations and laboratory tests met the diagnostic criteria of CNSL. The diagnosis was clear and the two patients were treated with CD19-CAR-T cell immunotherapy. Central nervous system symptoms were relieved. The imaging abnormalities of patient one has disappeared but cytokines release syndrome (CRS) occurred during the treatment. Cerebrospinal fluid of patient two was negative and no obvious CRS reaction was found. Conclusions: CAR-T cell immunotherapy is likely to induce the remission of CNSL and improve the prognosis.
