Yang Z, Liu Y, Zhao H. CAR T treatment beyond cancer: Hope for immunomodulatory therapy of non-cancerous diseases. Life Sci 2024; 344:122556. [PMID: 38471620 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2024.122556] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2023] [Revised: 02/28/2024] [Accepted: 03/07/2024] [Indexed: 03/14/2024]
Abstract
Engineering a patient's own T cells to accurately identify and eliminate cancer cells has effectively cured individuals afflicted with previously incurable hematologic cancers. These findings have stimulated research into employing chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T therapy across various areas within the field of oncology. However, evidence from both clinical and preclinical investigations emphasize the broader potential of CAR T therapy, extending beyond oncology to address autoimmune disorders, persistent infections, cardiac fibrosis, age-related ailments and other conditions. Concurrently, the advent of novel technologies and platforms presents additional avenues for utilizing CAR T therapy in non-cancerous contexts. This review provides an overview of the rationale behind CAR T therapy, delineates ongoing challenges in its application to cancer treatment, summarizes recent findings in non-cancerous diseases, and engages in discourse regarding emerging technologies that bear relevance. The review delves into prospective applications of this therapeutic approach across a diverse range of scenarios. Lastly, the review underscores concerns related to precision and safety, while also outlining the envisioned trajectory for extending CAR T therapy beyond cancer treatment.

Abstract
Drug repurposing, also known as drug repositioning, entails the application of pre-approved or formerly assessed drugs having potentially functional therapeutic amalgams for curing various disorders or disease conditions distinctive from their original remedial indication. It has surfaced as a substitute for the development of drugs for treating cancer, cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative disorders, and various infectious diseases like Covid-19. Although the earlier lines of findings in this area were serendipitous, recent advancements are based on patient centered approaches following systematic, translational, drug targeting practices that explore pathophysiological ailment mechanisms. The presence of definite information and numerous records with respect to beneficial properties, harmfulness, and pharmacologic characteristics of repurposed drugs increase the chances of approval in the clinical trial stages. The last few years have showcased the successful emergence of repurposed drug immunotherapy in treating various diseases. In this light, the present review emphasises on incorporation of drug repositioning with Immunotherapy targeted for several disorders.

Abstract
Engineering a patient's own T cells to selectively target and eliminate tumour cells has cured patients with untreatable haematologic cancers. These results have energized the field to apply chimaeric antigen receptor (CAR) T therapy throughout oncology. However, evidence from clinical and preclinical studies underscores the potential of CAR T therapy beyond oncology in treating autoimmunity, chronic infections, cardiac fibrosis, senescence-associated disease and other conditions. Concurrently, the deployment of new technologies and platforms provides further opportunity for the application of CAR T therapy to noncancerous pathologies. Here we review the rationale behind CAR T therapy, current challenges faced in oncology, a synopsis of preliminary reports in noncancerous diseases, and a discussion of relevant emerging technologies. We examine potential applications for this therapy in a wide range of contexts. Last, we highlight concerns regarding specificity and safety and outline the path forward for CAR T therapy beyond cancer.
