Nano-Biohybrid DNA Engager That Reprograms the T-Cell Receptor

Although engineered T cells with transgenic chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) have made a breakthrough in cancer therapeutics, this approach still faces many challenges in the specificity, efficacy, and self-safety of genetic engineering. Here, we developed a nano-biohybrid DNA engager-reprogrammed T-cell receptor (EN-TCR) system to improve the specificity and efficacy, mitigate the excessive activation, and shield against risks from transgenesis, thus achieving a diversiform and precise control of the T-cell response. Utilizing modular assembly, the EN-TCR system can graft different specificities on T cells via antibody assembly. Besides, the designability of DNA hybridization enables precise target recognition by the library of multiantigen cell recognition circuits and allows gradual tuning of the T-cell activation level by the signaling switch and independent control over different types of T cells. Furthermore, we demonstrated the effectiveness of the system in tumor models. Together, this study provides a nongenetic T-cell engineering strategy to overcome major hindrances in T-cell therapy and may be extended to a general and convenient cell engineering strategy.
