Autologous dnTGF-BRII-armored Anti-GPC3 CAR T-cells AZD5851NCIt concept
Preferred Label : Autologous dnTGF-BRII-armored Anti-GPC3 CAR T-cells AZD5851;
NCIt synonyms : Autologous Armored GPC3 CAR-T Cells AZD5851; Autologous Anti-GPC3 CAR T Cells AZD5851; Autologous Anti-GPC3 CAR T-cells AZD5851; Autologous Anti-GPC3 CAR T-lymphocytes AZD5851; Autologous Anti-GPC3 CAR-T Cells AZD5851;
NCIt definition : A preparation of autologous T-lymphocytes that have been genetically modified to express
a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) specific for glypican-3 (GPC3) and the dominant
negative (dn) form of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta; TGFb) receptor 2
(dnTGF-BRII; dnTGFbR2), with potential immunomodulating and antineoplastic activities.
Upon reintroduction into the patient, autologous dnTGF-BRII-armored anti-GPC3 CAR
T-cells AZD5851 are directed to and induce selective toxicity in GPC3-expressing tumor
cells. GPC3, a heparan sulfate proteoglycan and a member of the glypican family, is
overexpressed on certain tumor cell types while minimally expressed on normal, healthy
cells; GPC3 plays an important role in cellular proliferation and differentiation.
The inclusion of dnTGF-BRII blocks the signaling of the immunosuppressive cytokine
TGFb in the tumor microenvironment (TME) and makes the AZD5851 T-cells resistant to
TGFb. TGFb negatively regulates T-cell proliferation and activation and plays a key
role in tumor immune suppression.;
