Directed Evolution of Genetically Encoded LYTACs for Cell-Mediated Delivery

ABSTRACT: Lysosome-targeting chimeras (LYTACs) are a promising therapeutic modality to drive the degradation of extracellular proteins. However, early versions of LYTAC contain synthetic glycopeptides that cannot be genetically encoded. Here we present our designs for a fully genetically encodable LYTAC (GELYTAC), making our tool compatible with integration into therapeutic cells for targeted delivery at diseased sites. To achieve this, we replaced the glycopeptide portion of LYTACs with the protein insulin like growth factor 2 (IGF2). After showing initial efficacy with wild type IGF2, we increased the potency of GELYTAC using directed evolution. Subsequently, we demonstrated that our engineered GELYTAC construct not only secretes from HEK293T cells but also from human primary T-cells to drive the uptake of various targets into receiver cells. Immune cells engineered to secrete GELYTAC thus represent a promising avenue for spatially-selective targeted protein degradation.

Ribo– RNA-seq of psoriasis mouse model delivered (i.v.) EPIC by LNP at D1.5

Project description:Efforts to advance RNA aptamers as a novel therapeutic modality have been limited by their susceptibilty to degradation and immunogenicity. In a previous study, we demonstrated synthesized double-stranded circular RNAs (ds-cRNAs) with minimal immunogenicity targeted to dsRNA-activated Protein Kinase R (PKR). Here, we test the therapeutic potential of ds-cRNAs in a mouse model of imiquimod-induced psoriasis. We find that genetic supplementation of ds-cRNAs leads to inhibition of PKR, resulting in alleviation of downstream interferon alpha (IFNα)/dsRNA signals and attenuation of psoriasis phenotypes. Delivery of ds-cRNAs by lipid nanoparticles to the spleen attenuates PKR activity in examined splenocytes, resulting in reduced epidermal thickness. These findings suggest that ds-cRNAs represent a promising approach to mitigate excessive PKR activation for therapeutic purposes.

A novel cooperative therapeutic regimen using gene fusion neoantigen-specific TCR-engineered T cells mediated sustained preclinical efficacy in solid tumors independent on inherent mutation profiling

Project description:Neoantigens derived from non-synonymous somatic mutations, especially gene fusion mutation, are restricted to tumor cells and thus considered ideal targets for T-cell receptor-engineering T-cells (TCR-T) immunotherapy. Adoptive transfer of neoantigen-specific TCR-T cells preferentially exhibit potent cytotoxicity preferentially to tumor cells, and has shown promising efficacy in several preclinical human cancer models. However, most neoantigens are unique to individual patient, which hinders the application of TCR-T cell therapy. In this study, we first discovered a paired / TCR repertoire, Tcr-1, that specifically targeted STY-SSX fusion neoantigen shared by almost all synovial sarcomas. Engineered T-cell expressing Tcr-1 (Tcr-T1) exhibited antigen-specific HLA-A*2402-restricted antitumoral activity against synovial sarcomas cell both in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, to furtherly extend its application beyond synovial sarcomas, we innovatively developed a cooperative therapeutic modality, in which exogenous SYT-SSX fusion neoantigen was loaded into enzyme-responsive nanoparticles (NPs) formed by mPEG-PVGLIG-PCL copolymers (FNeo-AgNPs) for tumor targeting delivery. As expected, FNeo-AgNPs were proven of great tumor penetration, and local release. In situ modification was able to direct engineered Tcr-T1 against to other malignant gastric cancer cell line with significant antigen-specific HLA-A*2402-restricted cytotoxicity resulting in remarkable tumor regression and prolonging survival in both subcutaneous and peritoneally disseminated preclinical models, despite of their inherent mutation profiles. With these favorable data, our established cooperative therapeutic modality has a great potential for further clinical investigation, and provide a now insight for future TCR-T cell therapy development.

CD133+PD-L1+ cancer cells confer resistance to adoptively transferred engineered macrophage-based therapy in melanoma

Project description:Adoptive transfer of genetically or nanoparticle-engineered macrophages represents a promising cell therapy modality for treatment of solid tumor. However, the therapeutic efficacy is suboptimal without achieving a complete tumor regression, and the underlying mechanism remains elusive. Here, we discover a subpopulation of cancer cells with upregulated CD133 and programmed death-ligand 1 in mouse melanoma, resistant to the phagocytosis by the transferred macrophages. Compared to the CD133-PD-L1- cancer cells, the CD133+PD-L1+ cancer cells express higher transforming growth factor-β signaling molecules to foster a resistant tumor niche, that restricts the trafficking of the transferred macrophages by stiffened extracellular matrix, and inhibits their cell-killing capability by immunosuppressive factors. The CD133+PD-L1+ cancer cells exhibit tumorigenic potential. The CD133+PD-L1+ cells are further identified in the clinically metastatic melanoma. Hyperthermia reverses the resistance of CD133+PD-L1+ cancer cells through upregulating the ‘eat me’ signal calreticulin, significantly improving the efficacy of adoptive macrophage therapy. Our findings demonstrate the mechanism of resistance to adoptive macrophage therapy, and provide a de novo strategy to counteract the resistance.

Transcriptome comparison of monocytes, activated CD4 T cells, and activated CD8 T cells in healthy human peripheral blood

Project description:Molecular tether-mediated extracellular targeted protein degradation (ePTD) emerges as a promising drug modality. The existing strategies for ePTD have exploited several membrane degrader proteins. However, the current panel of ePTD degraders clearly needs to be expanded, as a given degrader may present tissue-dependent expression and activity. Based on screening of >50 receptors on endocytic rates and on their tissue distribution, we established a resource of potential endocytic carriers that may mediate effective ePTD. We subsequently introduced an adaptable design to assemble “Selected endocytic carrier-targeting chimera (SecTAC)” based on bispecific antibody constructs. The resultant modular chimeras, by co-opting newly identified degraders, directed efficient internalization of extracellular protein cargoes (or nucleic acids). Importantly, shaped by the availability of the corresponding endocytic carrier, the output of a SecTAC could present cell subset selectivity. We also validated the therapeutic potential of SecTAC agents for targeting several cell membrane proteins in tumor cells and primary T cells. Furthermore, we adapted the platform to establish multi-cargo tethers that triggered simultaneous degradation of two cell surface proteins in primary T cells. Taken together, our SecTAC platform has laid the foundation for development of preclinical drug candidates capable of inducing extracellular and membrane target degradation in desirable population of cells.

Homology mediated end joining enables efficient non-viral targeted integration of large DNA templates in primary human T cells

Project description:Adoptive cellular therapy using genetically engineered immune cells holds tremendous promise for the treatment of advanced cancers. While the number of available receptors targeting tumor specific antigens continues to grow, the current reliance on viral vectors for clinical production of engineered immune cells remains a substantial bottleneck limiting translation of promising new therapies. Here, we describe an optimized methodology for efficient CRISPR-Cas9 based, non-viral engineering of primary human T cells that overcomes key limitations of previous approaches. By synergizing temporal optimization of reagent delivery, reagent composition, and integration mechanism, we achieve targeted integration of large DNA cargo at efficiencies nearing those of viral vector platforms with minimal toxicity. CAR-T cells generated using our approach are highly functional and elicit potent anti-tumor cytotoxicity in vitro and in vivo. Importantly, our method is readily adaptable to current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) and clinical scale-up, offering a near-term alternative to the use of viral vectors for production of genetically engineered T cells for cancer immunotherapy.

Discovery of a molecular glue promoting CDK12-DDB1 interaction to trigger Cyclin K degradation [WES]

Project description:Molecular glues are small molecules that exert their biologic or therapeutic activities by inducing gain-of-function interactions between pairs of proteins. In particular, molecular-glue degraders, which mediate interactions between target proteins and components of the ubiquitin proteasome system to cause targeted protein degradation, hold great promise as a unique modality for therapeutic targeting of proteins that are currently intractable. Here, we report a new molecular glue HQ461 discovered by high-throughput screening of small molecules that inhibited NRF2 activity. Using unbiased loss-of-function and gain-of-function genetic screening followed by biochemical reconstitution, we show that HQ461 acts by promoting interaction between CDK12 and DDB1-CUL4-RBX1 E3 ubiquitin ligase, leading to polyubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of CDK12’s interacting protein Cyclin K (CCNK). Degradation of CCNK mediated by HQ461 compromised CDK12 function, leading to reduced phosphorylation of CDK12 substrate, downregulation of DNA damage response genes, and cell death. Structure-activity relationship analysis of HQ461 revealed the importance of a 5-methylthiazol-2-amine pharmacophore and resulted in an HQ461 derivate with improved potency. Our studies reveal a new molecular glue that engages its target protein directly with DDB1 to bypass the requirement of a substrate-specific receptor, presenting a new strategy for targeted protein degradation.
