Inhibition of Interleukin-6 (IL-6) Signaling and Tumor Growth by a Human Neutralizing Anti-IL-6 Antibody with a Prolonged Half-Life

ABSTRACT: Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a pleiotropic cytokine that plays a major role in responding to injury or infection as well as immune response, inflammation, and hematopoiesis. High levels of circulating IL-6 are observed in many tumor types and are associated with poor outcomes. We show that knockdown of IL-6 or IL-6 receptor (IL-6R) inhibits IL-6 signaling and cell viability. In contrast, over-expression of IL-6 enhances tumor growth in vitro and in vivo, thereby supporting the role of IL-6 in tumorigenesis. We developed a human monoclonal antibody against human IL-6 (MEDI5117) that bears Fc mutations (YTE) to extend its half-life. We tested this antibody in several cancer cell lines that secrete high levels of IL-6, soluble IL-6R, and express gp130. High constitutive pSTAT3 (phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription 3) activation is seen in several of these cell lines, suggesting autocrine growth stimulation by IL-6. Treating these cell lines with MEDI5117 effectively blocked phosphorylation of STAT3 and inhibited IL-6-induced cell proliferation. In vivo, MEDI5117 suppressed the growth of multiple cancer xenograft models and specifically modulated IL-6 signaling and downstream gene expression. Combining MEDI5117 with chemotherapy or gefitinib demonstrated significantly enhanced anti-tumor activities in vivo. Taken together, our data suggest that IL-6 signaling contributes to tumor growth, thereby supporting the development of MEDI5117 as a therapy to treat solid tumors.

Xenograft tumors from DU145, KPL4, and NCI-H1650 were treated with 30 mg/kg of MEDI5117 or IgG isotype control IgG1 for a total of two doses. Differentially expressed genes were identified and canonical pathway enrichment analysis was performed

Ets-2 propagates IL-6 trans-signaling mediated osteoclast-like changes in human rheumatoid arthritis synovial fibroblast

Project description:Interleukin-6 (IL-6) plays an important role in progressive bone loss in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, the molecular mechanisms through which IL-6 propels RA synovial fibroblasts (RASFs) to contribute to bone loss are not fully understood. In the present study, we investigated the effects of IL-6 and IL-6 receptor (IL-6/IL-6R induced trans-signaling in human RASFs. Treatment of human RASFs with IL-6 and IL-6 receptor (IL-6/IL-6R, 100 ng/ml each) alone or in combination with M-CSF (2 ng/ml) and RANKL (10 ng/ml) for 12 days resulted in the phenotypic changes to osteoclast-like features as determined by increase in TRAP staining and enhanced pit formation by ~3-fold in bone resorption assay in vitro. IL-6/IL-6R induced a dose-dependent increase in the expression of transcription factor Ets2 and enhanced its nuclear translocation in human RASFs. Interestingly, the untargeted proteomics analysis of the conditioned media from IL6/IL6R activated RASFs using Mass-Spectrometry (MS) technique and Trans-Proteomic Pipeline tool showed the production of 113 analytes unique to IL-6/IL-6R stimulation. Further analysis of the proteomics data using STRING database for pathway analysis showed the impact of IL-6/IL-6R on immunometabolic reprogramming of human RASFs towards osteoclast-like phenotype, which was partly mediated through Ets2. These preliminary studies identified a novel role of IL-6/IL-6R-mediated trans signaling in the metabolic reprogramming in RASFs that could potentially be targeted by inhibiting Ets2 to limit their role in bone resorption in RA.

Increased IL-6 Trans-Signaling in the Airways After an Allergen Challenge

Project description:The pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-6 is elevated in both blood and airways in asthma. IL-6 signaling is regulated by its receptor composed of two proteins, IL-6R and GP130, that are found in both membrane and soluble forms. The interaction of IL-6 with soluble IL-6R (sIL-6R) can trigger IL-6 trans-signaling in cells such as epithelial cells and fibroblasts, which express GP130, but do not produce sufficient IL-6R. We aimed to analyze IL-6 trans-signaling in the airways after an allergen challenge and to examine the potential source of sIL-6R and sGP130. In addition to protein analysis of bronchoalveolar lavages by ELISA and flow cytometry, we performed next-generation RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) to study the expression of the IL-6R subunits by eosinophils activated by IL-3 in vitro. RNA-seq and proteomic analyses confirmed that eosinophils do not produce GP130 but produce both IL-6R and ADAM10, a metalloproteinase that cleaves membrane IL-6R into sIL-6R.

Investigation of molecular events underlying the IL-6-mediated Th1 inhibition in tumor-bearing mice

Project description:To understand the molecular mechanism underlying the IL-6-mediated attenuation of Th1 differentiation in tumor-bearing animals, we have employed whole genome microarray expression profiling of CD4+ T cells isolated from tumor-bearing mice. In order to distingish the effect of IL-6/sIL-6R signaling augmented in tumor-bearing mice from the effecct of other tumor-derived signals, we isolated CD4+ T cells that were primed in tumor free-mice and in the mice inoculated with ovalbumin (OVA)-expressing MCA205 fibrosamcoma, in conjunction of anti-IL-6R Ab injection. We found that Th2-like gene signature such as Il4, IL10, Ccr4, and c-maf was up-regulated in CD4+ T cells primed in tumor-bearing mice. However,the expression of other Th2 master regulator Gata3 gene, or Tfh-related genes (Bcl6, Cxcr5, and Batf) was not substantially augmented in tumor-bearing mice as compared with those in tumor-free mice. These expressions were abrogated by IL-6R blockade, suggesting that the expression of these Th2-like gene set and the other IL-6 signal-dependent genes like Klf1, Bcl11a, and Klf4 are candidate regulators responsible for IL-6 signaling-mediated Th1 inhibition in tumor-bearing animals.

IL-6R identifies early differentiated human effector memory CD8+ T cells that potently expand and produce IL-2 and IL-13

Project description:We found a unique subset of effector memory (EM) CD8+ T cells that expressed high levels of IL-6 receptor in human peripheral blood. These cells which also expressed high levels of IL-7Ra (referred to as IL-6R high IL-7Rahigh cells) had the a distinct gene expression profile and cellular characteristics compared to other EM CD8+ T cells. IL-6R high IL-7Ra high cells were early differentiated EM CD8+ T cells with decreased expression of T-bet, KLRG1, perforin and granzyme B. These cells had increased cell proliferation likely secondary to enhanced IL-2 production and high affinity IL-2R expression. IL-6R high IL-7Ra high EM CD8+ T cells exclusively produced high levels of IL-2, IL-5, IL-9 and IL-13 although IFN-r was produced by this cell subset and other EM CD8+ T cells. Of interest, IL-6R high IL-7Ra high EM CD8+ T cells expanded in the peripheral blood of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma where CD8+ T cells, IL-13 and IFN-r are suggested to be involved in the pathogenesis. Being the early-differentiated EM CD8+ T cells with a potent capacity to proliferate, survive and generate multiple cytokines, IL-6R high IL-7Ra high EM CD8+ T cells may serve as a primary reservoir for effector CD8+ T cells which potently expand and produce cytokines upon immune stimulation. Duplicate experiments were performed for each condition. In each condition, we independently prepared total RNA using the RNeasy mini kit (Qiagen) and assessed RNA integrity using Bioanalyzer 2100 (Agilent)- RINs were close to 10 for all samples. RNA was then amplified and hybridized to the Illumina HumanHT-12 v4.0 BeadChip, according to Illumina standard protocols.

Treatment of TRAMP-C2-Ras tumors with IL-27 and IL-18 therapies

Project description:Interleukin-27 (IL-27) can partially reduce tumor growth in several animal models, including pros-tate cancer. We describe our findings on the effects of IL-27 gene delivery on prostate cancer cells and how sequential therapy with IL-18 enhances the efficacy of IL-27. We applied IL-27 and IL-18 deliv-ery with the goal of reducing prostate tumor growth, first in cell culture and then in an immunocom-petent mouse model. The combination of IL-27 followed by IL-18 (2718) successfully reduced can-cer cell viability, with significant effects found for a particular combination sequence. Interestingly, when we compared the 2718 combination with a single cytokine targeted to IL-6R via an oligo-peptide (27pepL) recently developed by our group, we observed similar efficacy. This efficacy was further enhanced when 27pepL was sequenced with IL-18 (27pepL18)

Characterization of IL-6R-expressing monocytes in the lung of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [IL-6 mono]

Project description:Background: Monocytes play a crucial role in innate immune responses for host defense, yet their involvement in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) remains poorly understood. We previously identified a subset of monocytes in COPD lung tissues characterized by high interleukin-6 receptor (IL-6R) expression. This study aimed to characterize the phenotypes of IL-6Rhi monocytes in the lung of COPD patients. Methods: Using flow cytometry, we assessed the abundance of pulmonary CD14+IL-6Rhi cells in never smokers (CNS), control ex-smokers (CES) and COPD patients. IL-6 expression in CD14+ monocytes from peripheral blood of patients with COPD was also examined. CD45+CD206–CD14+IL-6Rhi and CD45+CD206–CD14+IL-6R– cells were isolated from COPD lung tissues for transcriptome analysis. A monocyte line THP1 cell with constitutive IL-6R expression was stimulated with recombinant IL-6, followed by RNA sequencing to evaluate IL-6 responsiveness of IL-6R+ monocytes. Results: The number of pulmonary CD14+IL-6Rhi monocytes was elevated in COPD patients compared to CNS, while CD14+ monocytes in the peripheral blood of COPD patients did not express IL-6R. Upregulated mRNA expression in CD14+IL-6Rhi monocytes was associated with chemotaxis, monocyte differentiation, fatty acid metabolism and integrin-mediated signaling pathway. Stimulation of THP1 cells with recombinant IL-6 induced gene expression changes linked to chemotaxis and organism development. Conclusion: In patients with COPD, CD14+IL-6Rhi monocytes increase in lung tissues compared to CNS and exhibit a different transcriptome profile from CD14+IL-6R– monocytes.

Addition of IL-6 inhibition to standard GVHD prophylaxis to prevent GVHD after allogeneic stem cell transplantation

Project description:BACKGROUND - IL-6 mediates graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in experimental allogeneic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT) and is an attractive therapeutic target. METHODS - A registered phase I/II study (ACTRN12612000726853) of IL-6 receptor (IL-6R) neutralizing antibody administration on day -1 to patients receiving full or reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) and alloSCT from HLA-matched sibling or unrelated donors with standard cyclosporin and methotrexate GVHD prophylaxis. The primary endpoint was incidence of grade II-IV acute GVHD. Outcomes were compared to a non-randomized but contemporaneous group of study patients receiving the same alloSCT in the absence of IL-6R mAb. FINDINGS - Cytokine and pharmacokinetic analysis confirmed transient IL-6 dysregulation in the first month after alloSCT with complete inhibition following IL-6R mAb administration. With median follow up of 497 days, the incidence of grade II-IV GVHD was 12.5% in recipients of IL-6R inhibition (n = 48) versus 41.5% in the (n = 53) control cohort (P = 0.001). Low rates of acute GVHD were noted in patients receiving IL-6R inhibition relative to control patients following both myeloablative (12.5% vs. 46.4%, P = 0.03) and RIC (12.5% vs. 36.0%, P = 0.04). The incidence of severe (grade III/IV) acute GVHD was 4.2% in recipients of IL-6R inhibition versus 20.8% in the control cohort (P = 0.012). Relapse and chronic GVHD were unchanged. Immune reconstitution was preserved in recipients of IL-6R inhibition, but qualitatively modified with suppression of known pathogenic STAT3-dependent pathways. INTERPRETATION - IL-6 is the principal detectable and dysregulated cytokine secreted after alloSCT and its inhibition is a potential new and simple strategy to protect from acute GVHD despite robust immune reconstitution and a sustained graft-versus-leukemia effect. Single colour, Illumina Human HT12v4 Beadarrays.
