Abstract

The release of cytokines by chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cells and tumor resident immune cells defines a significant part of CAR T-cell functional activity and patient immune responses during CAR T-cell therapy. However, few studies have so far precisely characterized the cytokine secretion dynamics in the tumor niche during CAR T-cell therapy, which requires multiplexed, and timely biosensing platforms and integration with biomimetic tumor microenvironment. Herein, we implemented a digital nanoplasmonic microarray immunosensor with a microfluidic biomimetic Leukemia-on-a-Chip model to monitor cytokine secretion dynamics during CD19 CAR T-cell therapy against precursor B-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia (B-ALL). The integrated nanoplasmonic biosensors achieved precise multiplexed cytokine measurements with low operating sample volume, short assay time, heightened sensitivity, and negligible sensor crosstalk. Using the digital nanoplasmonic biosensing approach, we measured the concentrations of six cytokines (TNF-α, IFN-γ, MCP-1, GM-CSF, IL-1β, and IL-6) during first 5 days of CAR T-cell treatment in the microfluidic Leukemia-on-a-Chip model. Our results revealed a heterogeneous secretion profile of various cytokines during CAR T-cell therapy and confirmed a correlation between the cytokine secretion profile and the CAR T-cell cytotoxic activity. The capability to monitor immune cell cytokine secretion dynamics in a biomimetic tumor microenvironment could further help in study of cytokine release syndrome during CAR T-cell therapy and in development of more efficient and safer immunotherapies.
