Project description:The binding of serum immunoglobulins to proteins was compared using serum from after and before an immunotherapeutic intervention (donor lymphocyte infusion) in two patients who had relapsed chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) after bone marrow transplant. One Invitrogen ProtoArray was used for each sample. Significant interactions were determined by comparing the before and after samples for each patient separately, using the Concentration-Dependent Analysis described in Marina et al., J Proteome Res, 2008. One sample from before and one sample from after immunotherapy were tested for each patient. Keywords: Immune response discovery

Project description:Three patients who had relapsed chronic myeloid leukemia after allogeneic bone marrow transplant and received an immunotherapeutic intervention (donor lymphocyte infusion, or DLI) without further treatment were studied. The binding of serum immunoglobulins to proteins after immunotherapy was compared to before in two patients using Invitrogen ProtoArrays from a single lot. For a third patient, comparison was made between two timepoints after immunotherapy against one timepoint before using Invitrogen ProtoArrays from a separate lot. Significant interactions were determined by comparing each after sample separately against the before sample from that patient, using the Concentration-Dependent Analysis described in Marina et al., J Proteome Res, 2008. The goal was to identify proteins with significantly-increased reactivity after donor lymphocyte infusion. Keywords: Immune response discovery One sample from before and one sample from after immunotherapy were tested for 2 patients, and one sample from before and two samples from after immunotherapy were tested for a third patient.

Project description:Development of antibody drugs against novel targets and pathways offers great opportunities to improve current cancer treatment. We here describe a phenotypic discovery platform enabling efficient identification of therapeutic antibody-target combinations. The platform utilizes primary patient cells throughout the discovery process and includes methods for differential phage display cell panning, high-throughput cell-based specificity screening, phenotypic in vitro screening, target deconvolution, and confirmatory in vivo screening. In this study the platform was applied on cancer cells from patients with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia resulting in discovery of antibodies with improved cytotoxicity in vitro compared to the standard of care, the CD20-specific monoclonal antibody rituximab. Isolated antibodies were found to target six different receptors on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia cells; CD21, CD23, CD32, CD72, CD200, and HLA-DR of which CD32, CD200, and HLA-DR appeared as the most potent targets for antibody-based cytotoxicity treatment. Enhanced antibody efficacy was confirmed in vivo using a patient-derived xenograft model.

Project description:Representing the major cause of morbidity and mortality for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients, immunosuppression is a common feature of the disease. Effectors of the innate and the adaptive immune response show marked dysfunction and skewing towards the generation of a tolerant environment that favors disease expansion. Major deregulations are found in the T lymphocyte compartment, with inhibition of CD8+ cytotoxic and CD4+ activated effector T cells, replaced by exhausted and more tolerogenic subsets. Likewise, differentiation of monocytes towards a suppressive M2-like phenotype is induced at the expense of pro-inflammatory sub-populations. Thanks to their B-regulatory phenotype, leukemic cells play a central role in driving immunosuppression, progressively inhibiting immune responses. A number of signaling cascades triggered by soluble mediators and cell-cell contacts contribute to immunomodulation in CLL, fostered also by local environmental conditions, such as hypoxia and derived metabolic acidosis. Specifically, molecular pathways modulating T-cell activity in CLL, spanning from the best known cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) and programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) to the emerging T cell immunoreceptor with immunoglobulin and immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibition motif domains (TIGIT)/CD155 axes, are attracting increasing research interest and therapeutic relevance also in the CLL field. On the other hand, in the microenvironment, the B cell receptor (BCR), which is undoubtedly the master regulator of leukemic cell behavior, plays an important role in orchestrating immune responses, as well. Lastly, local conditions of hypoxia, typical of the lymphoid niche, have major effects both on CLL cells and on non-leukemic immune cells, partly mediated through adenosine signaling, for which novel specific inhibitors are currently under development. In summary, this review will provide an overview of the molecular and microenvironmental mechanisms that modify innate and adaptive immune responses of CLL patients, focusing attention on those that may have therapeutic implications.

Project description:Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a B-cell malignancy characterized by a wide range of tumor-induced alterations, which affect both the innate and adaptive arms of the immune response, and accumulate during disease progression. In recent years, the development of targeted therapies, such as the B-cell receptor signaling inhibitors and the Bcl-2 protein inhibitor venetoclax, has dramatically changed the treatment landscape of CLL. Despite their remarkable anti-tumor activity, targeted agents have some limitations, which include the development of drug resistance mechanisms and the inferior efficacy observed in high-risk patients. Therefore, additional treatments are necessary to obtain deeper responses and overcome drug resistance. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), which exploits immune-mediated graft-versus-leukemia effect to eradicate tumor cells, currently represents the only potentially curative therapeutic option for CLL patients. However, due to its potential toxicities, HSCT can be offered only to a restricted number of younger and fit patients. The growing understanding of the complex interplay between tumor cells and the immune system, which is responsible for immune escape mechanisms and tumor progression, has paved the way for the development of novel immune-based strategies. Despite promising preclinical observations, results from pilot clinical studies exploring the safety and efficacy of novel immune-based therapies have been sometimes suboptimal in terms of long-term tumor control. Therefore, further advances to improve their efficacy are needed. In this context, possible approaches include an earlier timing of immunotherapy within the treatment sequencing, as well as the possibility to improve the efficacy of immunotherapeutic agents by administering them in combination with other anti-tumor drugs. In this review, we will provide a comprehensive overview of main immune defects affecting patients with CLL, also describing the complex networks leading to immune evasion and tumor progression. From the therapeutic standpoint, we will go through the evolution of immune-based therapeutic approaches over time, including i) agents with broad immunomodulatory effects, such as immunomodulatory drugs, ii) currently approved and next-generation monoclonal antibodies, and iii) immunotherapeutic strategies aiming at activating or administering immune effector cells specifically targeting leukemic cells (e.g. bi-or tri-specific antibodies, tumor vaccines, chimeric antigen receptor T cells, and checkpoint inhibitors).

Project description:Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) is strictly dependent on the complex interplay between the intrinsic features of the leukemic cells and microenvironmental stimulations including inflammatory stimuli by Toll Like Receptors (TLR) which protect CLL cells from drug induced apoptosis by upregulating NFKBIZ, an atypical co-transcription factor. To face the challenge of targeting transcription factors, we exploited the capacity of Dimethyl Itaconate (DI), an electrophilic synthetic derivative of Itaconate, to block NFKBIZ acting as anti-inflammatory agent. Primary CLL cells isolated from the peripheral blood of patients, leukemic splenocytes isolated from TCL1 transgenic mice, and circulating leukocytes isolated from healthy donors were treated in vitro with increasing concentrations of DI either alone or in combination with the TLR ligands. DI abrogated the induction of NFKBIZ as well as its target genes IL6 and IL10. Remarkably, DI reduced metabolic activation and cell viability of leukemic cells even if added after a robust TLR pre-stimulation; in contrast, no toxic effect was evident in normal leukocytes including T- and B-lymphocytes. DI induced apoptosis of malignant cells by reducing BCL-XL and MCL1 levels while inducing PARP cleavage. RNA sequencing highlighted that DI abrogated the TLR9-mediated upregulation of transcripts related to the metabolism of rRNAs, interferon and cytokine signaling. Notably, in addition to the expected electrophilic stress signature observed after DI treatment, novel pathways emerged including the downregulation of distinct MHC class II complex genes. In conclusion, DI not only abrogated the pro-inflammatory effects of TLR stimulation but also targeted a specific vulnerability in CLL cells.
