Therapeutic effect of human iPS-cell-derived myeloid cells expressing IFN-? against peritoneally disseminated cancer in xenograft models.

ABSTRACT: We recently developed a method to generate myeloid cells with proliferation capacity from human iPS cells. iPS-ML (iPS-cell-derived myeloid/macrophage line), generated by introducing proliferation and anti-senescence factors into iPS-cell-derived myeloid cells, grew continuously in an M-CSF-dependent manner. A large number of cells exhibiting macrophage-like properties can be readily obtained by using this technology. In the current study, we evaluated the possible application of iPS-ML in anti-cancer therapy. We established a model of peritoneally disseminated gastric cancer by intraperitoneally injecting NUGC-4 human gastric cancer cells into SCID mice. When iPS-ML were injected intraperitoneally into the mice with pre-established peritoneal NUGC-4 tumors, iPS-ML massively accumulated and infiltrated into the tumor tissues. iPS-ML expressing IFN-? (iPS-ML/IFN-?) significantly inhibited the intra-peritoneal growth of NUGC-4 cancer. Furthermore, iPS-ML/IFN-? also inhibited the growth of human pancreatic cancer MIAPaCa-2 in a similar model. iPS-ML are therefore a promising treatment agent for peritoneally disseminated cancers, for which no standard treatment is currently available.

Project description:Background & aimsPediatric liver cancer is a rare but serious disease whose incidence is rising, and for which the therapeutic options are limited. Development of more targeted, less toxic therapies is hindered by the lack of an experimental animal model that captures the heterogeneity and metastatic capability of these tumors.MethodsHere we established an orthotopic engraftment technique to model a series of patient-derived tumor xenograft (PDTX) from pediatric liver cancers of all major histologic subtypes: hepatoblastoma, hepatocellular cancer and hepatocellular malignant neoplasm. We utilized standard (immuno) staining methods for histological characterization, RNA sequencing for gene expression profiling and genome sequencing for identification of druggable targets. We also adapted stem cell culturing techniques to derive two new pediatric cancer cell lines from the xenografted mice.ResultsThe patient-derived tumor xenografts recapitulated the histologic, genetic, and biological characteristics-including the metastatic behavior-of the corresponding primary tumors. Furthermore, the gene expression profiles of the two new liver cancer cell lines closely resemble those of the primary tumors. Targeted therapy of PDTX from an aggressive hepatocellular malignant neoplasm with the MEK1 inhibitor trametinib and pan-class I PI3 kinase inhibitor NVP-BKM120 resulted in significant growth inhibition, thus confirming this PDTX model as a valuable tool to study tumor biology and patient-specific therapeutic responses.ConclusionsThe novel metastatic xenograft model and the isogenic xenograft-derived cell lines described in this study provide reliable tools for developing mutation- and patient-specific therapies for pediatric liver cancer.Lay summaryPediatric liver cancer is a rare but serious disease and no experimental animal model currently captures the complexity and metastatic capability of these tumors. We have established a novel animal model using human tumor tissue that recapitulates the genetic and biological characteristics of this cancer. We demonstrate that our patient-derived animal model, as well as two new cell lines, are useful tools for experimental therapies.

Project description:Background and aimsPancreatic cancer is the seventh leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Checkpoint immunotherapy has not yet shown encouraging results in pancreatic cancer possibly because of a poor immunogenicity and/or an immune suppressive microenvironment. The aim of this study was to develop patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models, compare their genetics to the original biopsies, and assess if autologous tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) would have antitumoral activity in pancreatic cancer.MethodsWe subcutaneously transplanted tumors from 29 patients into NOG mice to generate PDX models. We established TIL cultures and injected them into PDX mice. We analyzed histology and genetics of biopsies and PDX tumors.ResultsTumor growths were confirmed in 11 of 29 transplantations. The PDX tumors histologically resembled their original biopsies, but because stromal cells in the PDX model tumors were from mouse, their gene expression differed from the original biopsies. Immune checkpoint ligands other than programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) were expressed in pancreatic cancers, but PD-L1 was rarely expressed. When it was expressed, it correlated with tumor take in PDX models. One of the 3 tumors that expressed PD-L1 was an adenosquamous cancer, and another had a mismatch repair deficiency. TILs were expanded from 6 tumors and were injected into NOG or human interleukin-2 transgenic-NOG mice carrying PDX tumors. Regression of tumors could be verified in human interleukin-2 transgenic-NOG mice in 3 of the 6 PDX models treated with autologous TILs, including the adenosquamous PDX model.ConclusionPDX models of pancreatic cancer can be used to learn more about tumor characteristics and biomarkers and to evaluate responses to adoptive cell therapy and combination therapies. The major benefit of the model is that modifications of T cells can be tested in an autologous humanized mouse model to gain preclinical data to support the initiation of a clinical trial.
