Supplementary Material for: EBV positive lymphoproliferative disorder following lymphodepletion for MAGE A4 adoptive cellular therapy in a patient with synovial sarcoma: Case Report

Lymphoproliferative disorder associated with viral reactivation is a known risk of immunocompromised patients. With development of novel cellular therapies utilizing lymphodepletion regimens in advanced cancer, the risk of lymphoproliferative disorders should be a consideration. Here we report a case of a 61-year-old treated male with history of metastatic synovial sarcoma and multiple treatment lines treated with cell therapy (lymphodepleting chemotherapy and afami-cel, formerly ADP-A2M4, T-cell treatment) on clinical study that developed EBV positive lymphoproliferative disorder (LPD). Patient was treated with rituximab and achieved a complete response. New cellular therapies present promising treatment options for patients and adverse events should be monitored carefully

Interactions in CSF1-Driven Tenosynovial Giant Cell Tumors

Purpose: A major component of cells in tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TGCT) consists of bystander macrophages responding to CSF1 that is overproduced by a small number of neoplastic cells with a chromosomal translocation involving the CSF1 gene. An autocrine loop was postulated where the neoplastic cells would be stimulated through CSF1R expressed on their surface. Here, we use single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to investigate cellular interactions in TGCT.Experimental Design: A total of 18,788 single cells from three TGCT and two giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) samples underwent scRNA-seq. The three TGCTs were additionally analyzed using long-read RNA sequencing. Immunofluorescence and IHC for a range of markers were used to validate and extend the scRNA-seq findings.Results: Two recurrent neoplastic cell populations were identi-fied in TGCT that are highly similar to nonneoplastic synoviocytes. We identified GFPT2 as a marker that highlights the neoplastic cells in TCGT. We show that the neoplastic cells themselves do not express CSF1R. We identified overlapping MAB features between the giant cells in TGCT and GCTB.Conclusions: The neoplastic cells in TGCT are highly similar to nonneoplastic synoviocytes. The lack of CSF1R on the neoplastic cells indicates they may be unaffected by current therapies. High expression of GFPT2 in the neoplastic cells is associated with activation of the YAP1/TAZ pathway. In addition, we identified expression of the platelet-derived growth factor receptor in the neoplastic cells. These findings suggest two additional pathways to target in this tumor
