Figure Lengend Snippet: Off-target cytotoxicity evaluation of CAR T cells using the 3D GOC system. A) Schematic representation of the differing cytolytic mechanisms of UTD, TV-13, and IL-13 CAR T cells against IL13Rα1 + HT-1080 tumor cells. Created with BioRender.com . B) Flow cytometric analysis confirming IL13Rα1 and mCherry (reporter gene) expression on IL13Rα1 + HT-1080 tumor cells. Antigen expression (IL13Rα1 or mCherry) on viable tumor cells shown in histograms: blue for IL13Rα1 + HT-1080 tumor cells and red for control tumor cells. The values within each histogram indicate the percentage of positive cells, with the mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) shown in parentheses. C) Microfluidic evaluation of off-target toxicities of T cells. (i) Representative tile images of tumor-stroma interface stained for actin cytoskeleton (green), showing differences in migration of IL13R1 + HT-1080 tumor cells (red) within the 3D GOC model across varying densities of UTD, TV-13 CAR, and IL-13 CAR T cells. (ii) Quantification of the migration distance of the IL13Rα1 + HT-1080 tumor cells in response to varying T cell concentrations. Data are represented as mean ± SD measured from three biological replicates ( n = 3) , T cell donors: DN18, DN28, and DN31, ∗ p < 0.05, ∗∗p < 0.01, ∗∗∗p < 0.001, ∗∗∗ ∗p < 0.0001. Two-way ANOVA with Tukey's multiple comparisons test was utilized for statistical analysis. (iii) Bar graph showing the difference in nuclei per field of view (FOV) across different T cell densities, used as a measure of chain migration by IL13Rα1 + HT-1080 tumor cells. Data are represented as mean ± SD measured from three biological replicates ( n = 3) , T cell donors: DN18, DN28, and DN31, ∗ p < 0.05, ∗∗p < 0.01, ∗∗∗p < 0.001. Two-way ANOVA with Tukey's multiple comparisons test was utilized for statistical analysis, and (iv) Bar graph representing the percentage of T cells positive for intracellular cytokines in the presence of IL13Rα1 + HT-1080 tumor cells. Data are represented as mean ± SD measured from three biological replicates ( n = 3) , ∗ p < 0.05, ∗∗p < 0.01, ∗∗∗ ∗p < 0.0001. Two-way ANOVA with Tukey's multiple comparisons test was utilized for statistical analysis.

Article Snippet: HT-1080 Culture : Human fibrosarcoma cells (CCL-121, ATCC or HT-1080) were used to generate an off-target cell line (IL13Rα1 + HT-1080) expressing IL13Rα1-T2A-mCherry gene, which was single-sorted for the experiments described here.
