Differential Function of a Novel Population of the CD19+CD24hiCD38hi Bregs in Psoriasis and Multiple Myeloma.

ABSTRACT: Psoriasis (Ps), an autoimmune disease, and multiple myeloma (MM), a blood neoplasm, are characterized by immune dysregulation resulting from the imbalance between the effector and regulatory cells, including B regulatory (Breg) lymphocytes. Peripheral blood samples from 80 Ps patients, 17 relapsed/refractory MM patients before and after daratumumab (anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody) treatment, 23 healthy volunteers (HVs), and bone marrow samples from 59 MM patients were used in the study. Bregs were determined by flow cytometry using CD19, CD24, and CD38. Intracellular production of interleukin-10 (IL-10) was assessed by flow cytometry after CD40L, LPS, and CpG stimulation. IL-10 serum or plasma concentrations were tested using ELISA method. The percentage of CD19+CD24hiCD38hi Bregs was not different whereas the production of IL-10 in Bregs was significantly higher in Ps patients in comparison with HVs. The percentage of CD19+CD24hiCD38hi Bregs in MM patients was significantly higher than in HVs (p < 0.0001). The percentage of CD19+CD24hiCD38hi Bregs was significantly higher in MM patients with the ISS stage I (p = 0.0233) while IL-10 production in Bregs was significantly higher in ISS stage III (p = 0.0165). IL-10 serum or plasma concentration was significantly higher in Ps and MM patients when compared to HVs (p < 0.0001). Following the treatment with daratumumab the percentages of CD19+CD24hiCD38hi Bregs significantly decreased (p < 0.0003). Here, in the two opposite immune conditions, despite the differences in percentages of Bregs in Ps and MM we have identified some similarities in the IL-10 producing Bregs. Effective treatment of daratumumab besides the anti-myeloma effect was accompanied by the eradication of Bregs.

Project description:BackgroundThe Identification of B cell subsets with regulatory functions might open the way to new therapeutic strategies in the field of transplantation, which aim to reduce the dose of immunosuppressive drugs and prolong the graft survival. CD25 was proposed as a marker of a B-cell subset with an immunosuppressive action termed Bregs. The effect of CD19 + CD25 + Bregs on graft function in renal transplant recipients has not yet been elucidated. We investigated a potential impact of CD19 + CD25 + Bregs on renal graft function as well as a possible interaction of CD19 + CD25 + Bregs with peripheral Tregs in healthy controls, end-stage kidney disease patients (ESKD), and renal transplant recipients. Moreover, we aimed to investigate the association of CD19 + CD25 + Bregs with serum IL-10, TGF-ß1, and IFN-γ in the same study groups.MethodThirty-one healthy controls, ninety renal transplant recipients, and eighteen ESKD patients were enrolled. We evaluated the CD19 + CD25 + Bregs and Treg absolute counts. Next, we investigated CD19 + CD25 + Bregs as predictors of good graft function in multiple regression and ROC analyses. Finally, we evaluated the association between CD19 + CD25+ Bregs and serum IL-10, TGF-ß, and IFN-γ.ResultsESKD patients and renal transplant recipients showed lower counts of CD19 + CD25+ Bregs compared to healthy controls (p < 0.001). Higher CD19 + CD25+ Breg counts were independently associated with a better GFR in renal transplant recipients (unstandardized B coefficient = 9, p = 0.02). In these patients, higher CD19 + CD25+ Bregs were independently associated with higher Treg counts (unstandardized B = 2.8, p = 0.004). In ROC analysis, cut-offs for CD19 + CD25 + Breg counts and serum TGF-ß1 of 0.12 cell/μl and 19,635.4 pg/ml, respectively, were shown to provide a good sensitivity and specificity in identifying GFR ≥ 30 ml/min (AUC = 0.67, sensitivity 77%, specificity 43%; AUC = 0.65, sensitivity 81%, specificity 50%, respectively). Finally, a significant positive association between CD19 + CD25+ Bregs and TGF-ß1 was shown in renal transplant recipients (r = 0.255, p = 0.015).ConclusionsOur findings indicate that higher counts of CD19 + CD25+ Bregs are independently associated with better renal function and higher absolute Treg counts in renal transplant recipients.

Project description:BackgroundTreatment with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-engineered T cells directed against the B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) promoted transient recovery from multiple myeloma (MM). However, the absence of this antigen on immature plasma cells may limit the efficacy of this modality and facilitate relapse. The purpose of this study is to characterize a novel CAR that includes both a single-chain variable fragment (scFv)-BCMA and an scFv-CD19 in tandem orientation (tan-CAR) in an attempt to target both BCMA and CD19 expression on MM cells.MethodThe scFv sequences from the anti-CD19 antibody FMC63 and the anti-BCMA antibody C11D5.3 were ligated in tandem with transmembrane and T-cell signaling domains to generate the tan-CAR construct. Specificity and efficacy of activated tan-CAR T cells were analyzed using in vitro proliferation, cytokine release, and cytolysis assays. We also evaluated the in vivo efficacy with a xenograft mouse model that included target tumor cells that expressed CD19 or BCMA and compared the results to those obtained with conventional CAR T cells.ResultsThe in vitro studies revealed specific activation of tan-CAR T cells by K562 cells that overexpressed CD19 and/or BCMA. Cell proliferation, cytokine release, and cytolytic activity were all comparable to the responses of single scFv CAR T cells. Importantly, in vivo studies of tan-CAR T cells revealed specific inhibition of tumor growth in the mouse xenograft model that included cells expressing both CD19 and BCMA. Systemic administration of tan-CAR T cells resulted in complete tumor remission, in contrast to the reduced efficacies of BCMA-CAR T and CD19-CAR T alone in this setting.ConclusionWe report the successful design and execution of novel tan-CAR T cells that promote significant anti-tumor efficacy against both CD19 and BCMA antigen-positive tumor cells in vitro and in vivo. The data from this study reveal a novel strategy that may help to reduce the rate of relapse in the treatment with single scFv-CAR T cells.
