Enhanced Expression of Glycolytic Enzymes and Succinate Dehydrogenase Complex Flavoprotein Subunit A by Mesothelin Promotes Glycolysis and Mitochondrial Respiration in Myeloblasts of Acute Myeloid Leukemia. (PubMed, Int J Mol Sci)
The collective results demonstrate that mesothelin induces metabolic changes in leukemia cells, facilitating the acquisition of a rapid supply of ATP for proliferation in AML. Therefore, the targeting of mesothelin presents a potentially promising approach to mitigating the progression of AML through the inhibition of glycolysis and mitochondrial respiration in myeloid cells.

Assessment of Novel Mesothelin-Specific Human Antibody Domain VH-Fc Fusion Proteins-Based PET Agents. (PubMed, ACS Omega)
Furthermore, PET imaging allowed us to compare the pharmacokinetics of epitope-specific VH domain-based PET tracers. Overall, these data are encouraging for the incorporation of PET imaging to assess modified VH domain structures to develop novel anti-MSLN VH domain-based therapeutics in MSLN-positive cancers as well as their companion PET imaging agents.

Novel mesothelin-targeted chimeric antigen receptor-modified UNKT cells are highly effective in inhibiting tumor progression. (PubMed, Pharmacol Res)
CAR-UNKT cells also demonstrated strong antitumor activity in mouse models of ovarian cancer, with the ability to migrate and infiltrate the tumor without inducing immune memory. The fast-in and -out, enhanced and prolonged tumor killing properties of CAR-UNKT suggested a novel cure option of cellular immunotherapy in the treatment of MSLN-positive solid tumors.

Development of a Regulated, Optimized Mesothelin Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) for the Treatment of Mesothelin Positive Cancers (ASH 2023)
Contrary to the conclusions of prior studies with MSLN-targeted CARs, membrane distal epitopes were superior to membrane proximal epitopes when binders were paired with the correct spacer, and shed MSLN and MUC16 were not inhibitory for the best-performing CARs, regardless of target epitope. Furthermore, regulated expression enhanced the potency and durability of response compared to constitutive expression. This approach may improve CAR activity in patients with MSLN+ solid tumors or leukemia.

Sequential Targeting Hybrid Nanovesicles Composed of Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-Cell-Derived Exosomes and Liposomes for Enhanced Cancer Immunochemotherapy. (PubMed, ACS Nano)
Paclitaxel (PTX)-based chemotherapy remains the main approach to treating lung cancer but systemic toxicity limits its use...Furthermore, Lip-CExo@PTX prolonged the survival time of tumor-bearing mice in a CT-26 metastatic lung cancer model. Therefore, Lip-CExo@PTX may deliver PTX to tumor cells through sequential targeted delivery and enhance the antitumor effects, providing a promising strategy for immunochemotherapy of lung cancer.

High mesothelin expression by immunohistochemistry predicts improved survival in pleural mesothelioma. (PubMed, Histopathology)

Therefore, it would be appropriate to perform an immunohistochemical assessment of MSLN expression to stratify and assess patient suitability for mesothelin-targeted personalised therapies, such as chimeric antigen receptor T cells.

A mesothelin targeting chimeric antigen receptor macrophage (CAR-M) for solid tumor immunotherapy: pre-clinical development of CT-1119 (AACR 2023)
We have previously developed CT-0508, a chimeric antigen receptor macrophage (CAR-M) targeting HER2 which showed efficacy in a variety of pre-clinical models and is currently in a Phase I clinical trial for patients with HER2+ solid tumors. The presented results demonstrate that CT-1119, an autologous human anti-mesothelin CAR-M, can cause phagocytosis, tumor cell killing, and pro-inflammatory cytokine release in response to stimulation with mesothelin. These results show that CAR-M is a feasible approach for the treatment of mesothelin expressing sold tumors via the potential for induction of a systemic anti-tumor response.

This study constitutes a first attempt to establish an immunocompetent pre-clinical model for the study of mesothelin-targeting, nanobody-based CAR T cells in unprimed hosts. This model will facilitate the study of the dynamic changes occurring in the tumor microenvironment following nanobody-based CAR T cell therapy while also providing valuable insight into the tumor resistance mechanisms and methods to overcome them.

High Homogeneity of Mesothelin Expression in Primary and Metastatic Ovarian Cancer. (PubMed, Appl Immunohistochem Mol Morphol)
No such switch was seen between the mesothelin-interpretable primary tumors and their nodal metastases of 59 cancers, and only 1 mesothelin-positive tumor had a mixture of positive and negative lymph node metastases. In conclusion, mesothelin expression is frequent and highly homogeneous in ovarian cancer.

High mesothelin expression is correlated with non-squamous cell histology and poor survival in cervical cancer: a retrospective study. (PubMed, BMC Cancer)
MSLN was highly expressed in patients with cervical cancer, especially in those with non-SCC. High MSLN expression in the primary lesion was significantly associated with poor OS, and its expression was maintained in metastatic lesions. Our findings indicate that MSLN may be an attractive therapeutic target for cervical cancer.

Grade 1 cytokine release syndrome (CRS) was reported in all of the patients ≥ 3×10 6 cells/kg and only one patient dosed at 1×10 7 cells/kg developed Grade 3 CRS (quickly recovered after treatment with corticosteroid and tocilizumab)...Conclusions MSLN-CAB-T showed good preliminary safety in subjects with MSLN+ solid tumors, and MTD has not yet been reached. This provides the rationale to expand the study, especially for patients with tumors expressing higher levels of MSLN (≥60% in viable tumor cells) as a monotherapy or in combination with other agents.
