Severe hematopoietic stem cell inflammation compromises chronic granulomatous disease gene therapy (Single Cell)

ABSTRACT: X-linked chronic granulomatous disease (CGD, caused by CYBB gene mutations) is associated with defective phagocytosis, life-threatening infections, and inflammatory complications. We performed a clinical trial of lentivirus-based gene therapy in four patients (NCT02757911). Two patients showed stable engraftment and clinical benefits, whereas the other two progressively lost gene-corrected cells. Single-cell transcriptomic analysis revealed a significantly lower frequency of the most immature hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in CGD patients, especially in the two patients with defective engraftment. The latter presented a profound change in HSCs status, a high interferon score, and elevated myeloid progenitor frequency. We used elastic-net logistic regression to identify a set of 51 interferon genes and transcription factors that predicted the failure of HSCs engraftment. In one patient, an aberrant HSCs state with elevated CEBPb expression drove HSCs exhaustion, as demonstrated by low repopulation in a xenotransplantation model. Targeted treatments that protect HSCs, coupled to targeted gene expression screening, might improve clinical outcomes in CGD.

Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation for Chronic Granulomatous Disease in Japan.

Project description:Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is established as a curative treatment for severe chronic granulomatous disease (CGD). However, outcomes of HCT for CGD in Japan had not been precisely reported. We evaluated the outcome of HCT for CGD in Japan by means of a nationwide survey. A total of 91 patients (86 males and 5 females) with CGD who received HCT between 1992 and 2013 was investigated. Their median age at HCT was 11 years (0-39). Sixty-four patients had X-linked CGD caused by CYBB gene mutations, 13 had autosomal recessive CGD (7 CYBA and 6 NCF2), and 14 were genetically undetermined. Seventy patients are still alive at a median follow-up of 38.9 (3.7-230) months. Three-year OS and EFS was 73.7 and 67.6%, respectively. Twenty-one patients died mainly from transplant-related mortality. The cumulative incidence of grade II to IV acute GVHD and extensive chronic GVHD was 27.2 and 17.9%, respectively. Risk factors for EFS after HCT for CGD were age >30 years (P < 0.01), non-CYBB gene mutations (P < 0.01) and CBT (P < 0.01). Regarding the reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) regimen, risk factors for EFS included anti-thymocyte globulin (P = 0.048) and not using low-dose irradiation therapy (P < 0.01), in addition to the preceding risk factors. We report outcomes of HCT for CGD in Japan. Future studies are needed to improve such outcomes, especially for patients harboring non-CYBB gene mutations and suffering from adult CGD. A RIC regimen including low-dose irradiation may be a good option to explore further.

Granulocyte Transfusions in Patients with Chronic Granulomatous Disease Undergoing Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation or Gene Therapy.

Project description:Granulocyte transfusions are sometimes used as adjunctive therapy for the treatment of infection in patients with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD). However, granulocyte transfusions can be associated with a high rate of alloimmunization, and their role in CGD patients undergoing hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) or gene therapy (GT) is unknown. We identified 27 patients with CGD who received granulocyte transfusions pre- (within 6 months) and/or post-HCT or GT in a retrospective survey. Twelve patients received granulocyte transfusions as a bridge to cellular therapy. Six (50%) of these patients had a complete or partial response. However, six of 10 (60%) patients for whom testing was performed developed anti-HLA antibodies, and three of the patients also had severe immune-mediated cytopenia within the first 100 days post-HCT or GT. Fifteen patients received granulocyte transfusions post-HCT only. HLA antibodies were not checked for any of these 15 patients, but there were no cases of early immune-mediated cytopenia. Out of 25 patients who underwent HCT, there were 5 (20%) cases of primary graft failure. Three of the patients with primary graft failure had received granulocyte transfusions pre-HCT and were subsequently found to have anti-HLA antibodies. In this small cohort of patients with CGD, granulocyte transfusions pre-HCT or GT were associated with high rates of alloimmunization, primary graft failure, and early severe immune-mediated cytopenia post-HCT or GT. Granulocyte transfusions post-HCT do not appear to confer an increased risk of graft failure.

Haematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Chronic Granulomatous Disease.

Project description:Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is an inborn error of immunity due to defects in the transport or function of subunits of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase, the enzyme that generates the phagocyte respiratory burst responsible for intracellular killing of engulfed micro-organisms. Patients present with infectious or inflammatory complications. Common bacterial pathogens include Staphylococcus aureus and Burkholderia cepacia complex. Fungal pathogens include Aspergillus species, particularly Aspergillus fumigatus. Inflammatory complications most commonly manifest as inflammatory bowel disease or lung disease. Granulomata are the distinguishing histological feature. Haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) was first considered for CGD in the early 1970's. Since then, refinements in transplant technique, donor selection, conditioning regimens, and graft engineering have widened the option of HSCT to most patients with CGD. This review charts the progress made in HSCT for CGD.

Lentiviral hematopoietic stem cell gene therapy for X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency.

Project description:X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID-X1) is a profound deficiency of T, B, and natural killer (NK) cell immunity caused by mutations inIL2RGencoding the common chain (γc) of several interleukin receptors. Gamma-retroviral (γRV) gene therapy of SCID-X1 infants without conditioning restores T cell immunity without B or NK cell correction, but similar treatment fails in older SCID-X1 children. We used a lentiviral gene therapy approach to treat five SCID-X1 patients with persistent immune dysfunction despite haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplant in infancy. Follow-up data from two older patients demonstrate that lentiviral vector γc transduced autologous HSC gene therapy after nonmyeloablative busulfan conditioning achieves selective expansion of gene-marked T, NK, and B cells, which is associated with sustained restoration of humoral responses to immunization and clinical improvement at 2 to 3 years after treatment. Similar gene marking levels have been achieved in three younger patients, albeit with only 6 to 9 months of follow-up. Lentiviral gene therapy with reduced-intensity conditioning appears safe and can restore humoral immune function to posthaploidentical transplant older patients with SCID-X1.

Failure to Prevent Severe Graft-Versus-Host Disease in Haploidentical Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation with Post-Transplant Cyclophosphamide in Chronic Granulomatous Disease.

Project description:PurposeHaploidentical related donor (HRD) transplantation was performed in 7 recipients with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) who had no matched-related or unrelated donor.MethodsPeripheral blood cell (PBC) products were used with a conditioning regimen consisting of low-dose cyclophosphamide, fludarabine, total body irradiation, and busulfan. Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis consisted of high-dose post-transplant cyclophosphamide and sirolimus. Recipients were ages 14-26 years, and 3 had severe infections active at transplant.ResultsAll 7 recipients achieved full engraftment with complete donor chimerism early in the post-transplant period. Acute GVHD occurred in all cases and was grade 3 or steroid refractory in 3. Two patients with steroid-refractory GVHD died. Three patients with severe infectious complications active at transplant, 1 Nocardia pneumonia and 2 extensive invasive fungal infections), survived and were cured of their infection at last follow-up. Bacterial disease occurred post-transplant in all recipients, and viral infections/reactivation were common, including 4 cases of BK virus-associated hemorrhagic cystitis.ConclusionsSeven patients with CGD achieved rapid and full-donor engraftment from HRDs utilizing PBCs and a conditioning regimen with PTCy and sirolimus GVHD prophylaxis. However, the incidence of grade 3 and steroid-refractory GVHD was high and led to 2 deaths. Patients with active infections at transplant had successful transplant courses and were cured of their disease. Although there was an initial success with this regimen, the cumulative experience does not support its use in CGD due to an unacceptable rate of severe GVHD.

Dysregulated hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell activity promotes interleukin-23-driven chronic intestinal inflammation.

Project description:In interleukin-23 (IL-23)-dependent colitis, there is excessive accumulation of short-lived neutrophils and inflammatory monocytes in the intestine. It is unknown whether this reflects changes in mature cell populations or whether the IL-23-driven colitogenic T cell program regulates upstream hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC). Here we have shown dysregulation of hematopoiesis in colitis mediated by inflammatory cytokines. First, there was an interferon-gamma-dependent accumulation of proliferating hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow and spleen. Second, there was a strong skew toward granulocyte-monocyte progenitor (GMP) production at the expense of erythroid and lymphoid progenitors. Extramedullary hematopoiesis was also evident, and granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) blockade reduced the accumulation of splenic and colonic GMPs, resulting in amelioration of colitis. Importantly, transfer of GMPs exacerbated colitis. These data identify HSPCs as a major target of the IL-23-driven inflammatory axis suggesting therapeutic strategies for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease.
