Abstract: A population of genetically engineered T cells, comprising a disrupted Reg1 gene and/or a disrupted TGFBRII gene. Such genetically engineered T cells may comprise further genetic modifications, for example, a disrupted CD70 gene. The population of genetically engineered T cells exhibit one or more of (a) improved cell growth activity; (b) enhanced persistence; and (c) reduced T cell exhaustion, (d) enhanced cytotoxicity activity, (e) resistant to inhibitory effects induced by TGF-b, and (f) resistant to inhibitory effects by fibroblasts and/or inhibitory factors secreted thereby, as compared to non-engineered T cell counterparts.

Abstract: Provided herein, in some embodiments, are methods and compositions (e.g., cell compositions) for the treatment of cancer. The methods and compositions involve genetically engineered immune cells (e.g., T cells), in which the endogenous CD70 gene is disrupted by genetic editing, for example, the CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology.

Abstract: Methods for treating a B cell malignancy comprising a population of genetically engineered immune cells (e.g., T cells), which express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) specific to CD19 and optionally an NK cell inhibitor (e.g., daratumumab). The genetically engineered immune cells may comprise a disrupted TRAC gene, a disrupted ?2M gene, or both.

Abstract: Genetically engineered immune cells such as T cells capable of secreting an interleukin-12 protein, for example, upon activation of the T cells. Such genetically engineered immune cells may further express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) targeting an antigen of interest, e.g., a tumor-associated antigen, a disrupted T cell receptor alpha chain constant (TRAC) gene, a disrupted beta-2-microglubulin (?2M) gene, a disrupted gene encoding the antigen of interest, or a combination thereof.
