Degradation of tumour stromal hyaluronan by small extracellular vesicle-PH20 stimulates CD103+ dendritic cells and in combination with PD-L1 blockade boosts anti-tumour immunity.

ABSTRACT: Highly accumulated hyaluronan (HA) not only provides a physiological barrier but also supports an immune-suppressive tumour microenvironment. High-molecular-weight (HMW)-HA inhibits the activation of immune cells and their access into tumour tissues, whereas, low-molecular-weight oligo-HA is known to potentially activate dendritic cells (DCs). In this paper, we investigated whether small extracellular vesicle (EVs)-PH20 hyaluronidase induces tumour HA degradation, which, in turn, activates DCs to promote anti-cancer immune responses. Informed by our previous work, we used a small EV carrying GPI-anchored PH20 hyaluronidase (Exo-PH20) that could deeply penetrate into tumour foci via HA degradation. We found that Exo-PH20-treatment successfully activates the maturation and migration of DCs in vivo, particularly CD103+ DCs leading to the activation of tumour-specific CD8+ T cells, which work together to inhibit tumour growth. Moreover, combination with anti-PD-L1 antibody provided potent tumour-specific CD8+ T cell immune responses as well as elicited prominent tumour growth inhibition both in syngenic and spontaneous breast cancer models, and this anti-tumour immunity was durable. Together, these results present new insights for HA degradation by Exo-PH20, providing a better understanding of oligo HA-triggered immune responses to cancer.

Project description:INTRODUCTION:There is currently no consensus in the literature concerning the impact of aging on the properties of hyaluronan (HA) in the subcutaneous (SC) space. Recombinant human hyaluronidase PH20 (rHuPH20) facilitates SC administration of injected therapeutics by depolymerizing SC HA, facilitating bulk fluid flow, dispersion and absorption. This study assessed the impact of intrinsic aging on HA in the SC space and thus the ability of rHuPH20 to enhance delivery of co-administered therapeutics. METHODS:Histologic evaluations of HA levels and degradation were performed on human skin samples from six age groups, aged from 20 to 100 years. HA levels were evaluated by HA staining and degradation by staining samples for HA following incubation with rHuPH20. HA was extracted from samples and HA size determined by gel electrophoresis. Dermal reconstitution was assessed in young (aged 1.5 months) and elderly (aged?>?16 months) mice. Baseline dye dispersion was measured at 5 and 20 min post-intradermal dye injection. Following treatment with rHuPH20, dye dispersion was measured again at 2, 24, 48, 72 and 96 h. RESULTS:Distribution of HA was confined to the interstitial space between adipocytes, with similar pericellular presence and levels of HA found across all age groups. Substantial levels of high-molecular-weight HA were observed in all age groups at baseline. Incubation with a clinically relevant dose of rHuPH20 resulted in degradation of all SC HA and similar degradation profiles independent of age. No difference in dye dispersion time was observed between young and elderly mice across the range of time points assessed, with dye dispersion returning to baseline levels by 24 h after rHuPH20 treatment. CONCLUSIONS:Subcutaneous delivery of approved therapeutics facilitated by co-administration with rHuPH20 should not be impacted by intrinsic aging, with this study providing no evidence for an effect of aging on HA distribution, structure or a loss of rHuPH20 efficacy.
