Project description:IL-2 is a cytokine approved for the treatment of melanoma and renal cell carcinoma and induced complete, durable tumor regression in some patients. However, its broader use in cancer immunotherapy has been limited by severe toxicity. A new generation of IL-2 therapies with decreased binding to IL-2 receptor alpha chain (IL-2Rα), intended to mitigate toxicity and Treg expansion, are being developed. However to date these have had limited clinical success. Here, we demonstrate that the ability to engage IL-2Rα is critical for the anti-tumor activity of a systemic IL-2 therapy. Despite inducing systemic expansion of CD8+ T cells and NK cells over Tregs, an IL-2 mutein with abolished IL-2Rα binding demonstrated limited anti-tumor efficacy compared to wild-type IL-2. Based on these findings, we developed a PD-1-targeted, receptor-masked IL-2 immunocytokine, PD1-IL2Ra-IL2, with attenuated systemic IL-2 activity but maintained the capacity to engage IL-2Rα on PD-1+ T cells. PD1-IL2Ra-IL2 (REGN10597) shows PD-1-targeting-dependent IL-2 activity in vitro and drives selective expansion of tumor-infiltrating PD-1+ CD8+ T cells with vigorous effector profiles in vivo. PD1-IL2Ra-IL2 treated mice displayed no signs of systemic toxicities observed with unmasked IL-2 treatment, yet achieved robust tumor growth control. Finally, we demonstrate that PD1-IL2Ra-IL2 can be effectively combined with several other T cell-mediated immunotherapies (anti-PD-1, CD3 bispecific antibodies, and CAR-T cells) to potentiate antitumor responses. Collectively, these results provide unique insights into the functional mechanism of IL-2 based therapeutics and highlight the therapeutic potential of PD1-IL2Ra-IL2 as a novel targeted, receptor masked, and “α-maintained” IL-2 therapy for cancer treatment.

Project description:β-glucans, which can activate innate immune responses, are a major component in the cell wall of the cyst form of Pneumocystis. In the current study we examined whether β-1,3 glucans are masked by surface proteins in Pneumocystis, and what role β-glucans play in Pneumocystis-associated inflammation. For 3 species, including P. jirovecii, which causes Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) in humans, P. carinii, and P. murina, β-1,3 glucans were masked in most organisms, as demonstrated by increased exposure following trypsin treatment. Using Q-PCR and microarray techniques, we demonstrated in a mouse model of PCP that treatment with caspofungin, an inhibitor of β-1,3 glucan synthesis, for 21 days, decreased expression of a broad panel of inflammatory markers, including IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and multiple chemokines/chemokine ligands. Thus, β-glucans in Pneumocystis cysts are largely masked, which likely decreases innate immune activation; this mechanism presumably was developed for interactions with immunocompetent hosts, in whom organism loads are substantially lower. In immunosuppressed hosts with a high organism burden, organism death and release of glucans appears to be an important contributor to deleterious host inflammatory responses.

Project description:Reduced TCRγδ signal strength manifest by constrained Syk activity engages PI3K to maintain expression of key master regulators of the IL-17 program; RORγt and c-Maf, and drive thymic development of IL-17A-secreting γδ T cells (γδ17 cells). Notably, inhibition of PI3K not only abrogates γδ17 cell development, but also permits γδ progenitors to adopt a type-I interferon gene expression signature that identifies a novel CD8(+)Sca-1(+) γδ T cell subset.

Project description:Background and aims: Here we investigate the role of IL-11 signalling in the pathogenesis of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Methods: HSCs or hepatocytes were stimulated with IL-11 and effects assessed using cellular and high content imaging, immunoblotting, ELISA and invasion assays. Genetic and pharmacological IL-11 gain- or loss-of-function experiments were performed in vitro and in vivo. IL-11 signaling was studied using ERK inhibitors. The effects of anti-IL-11 or anti-IL11RA therapy were assessed in three preclinical NASH models using methionine/choline deficient diets or a Western diet with liquid fructose. Phenotyping was performed using hydroxyproline assay, qPCR, RNA-seq, Western blotting, histology, CyTOF, lipid and metabolic biomarkers. Results: When stimulated with NASH factors HSCs secrete IL-11, which drives an autocrine, ERK-dependent signaling loop required for the HSC-to-myofibroblast transformation. IL-11 is upregulated in human and murine NASH, Il-11 injection causes liver damage, inflammation and fibrosis in mice and Il11ra1 deleted mice are protected from NASH in two preclinical models. Therapeutic antibodies against IL11RA or IL-11 consistently inhibit and reverse fibrosis and steatosis in three murine NASH models. Unexpectedly, IL-11 causes hepatocyte damage and promotes stromal-mediated inflammation and anti-IL-11 therapies reverse NASH-associated hepatotoxicity and hepatitis. Genetic or pharmacologic inhibition of IL-11 signaling in NASH is associated with lower serum triglyceride, cholesterol and glucose. Conclusion: We show an unappreciated and central role for IL-11 in liver pathobiology. Targeting IL-11 signalling with neutralizing antibodies reverses fibrosis, steatosis, hepatocyte death and inflammation across the spectrum of NASH. This novel therapeutic approach is associated with a favorable cardiometabolic profile.

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 (2718) successfully reduced can-cer cell viability, with significant effects found for a particular combination sequence. Interestingly, when we compared the 2718 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 (27pepL18)

Project description:Palmer2014 - Effect of IL-1β-Blocking therapies in T2DM - Disease Condition
This is the model with disease state initial conditions. A few changes were made to the model equations in order to bypass the circular dependencies apparent in SBML. Coupled algebraic equations for the species Glucose, Insulin and Proinsulin were changed to reactions which represent the ordinary differential equations found in a previously published model by De Gaetano
et al (2008), [MODEL1112110003]. This reference was used by the present authors for the algebraic equations. The original Mathematica code, obtained from the supplementary material of the article can be downloaded from the link below:

Abstract:
Recent clinical studies suggest sustained treatment effects of interleukin-1β (IL-1β)-blocking therapies in type 2 diabetes mellitus. The underlying mechanisms of these effects, however, remain underexplored. Using a quantitative systems pharmacology modeling approach, we combined ex vivo data of IL-1β effects on β-cell function and turnover with a disease progression model of the long-term interactions between insulin, glucose, and β-cell mass in type 2 diabetes mellitus. We then simulated treatment effects of the IL-1 receptor antagonist anakinra. The result was a substantial and partly sustained symptomatic improvement in β-cell function, and hence also in HbA1C, fasting plasma glucose, and proinsulin-insulin ratio, and a small increase in β-cell mass. We propose that improved β-cell function, rather than mass, is likely to explain the main IL-1β-blocking effects seen in current clinical data, but that improved β-cell mass might result in disease-modifying effects not clearly distinguishable until >1 year after treatment.

Project description:Engineered cytokine-based approaches for immunotherapy of cancer are poised to enter the clinic, with IL-12 being at the forefront. However, little is known about potential mechanisms of resistance to cytokine therapies. We found that orthotopic murine lung tumors were resistant to systemically delivered IL-12 fused to murine serum albumin (MSA, IL12-MSA) due to low IL-12R expression on tumor-reactive CD8+ T cells. IL2-MSA increased binding of IL12-MSA by tumor-reactive CD8+ T cells, and combined administration of IL12-MSA and IL2-MSA led to enhanced tumor-reactive CD8+ T cell effector differentiation, decreased numbers of tumor-infiltrating CD4+ regulatory T (Treg) cells, and increased survival of lung tumor-bearing mice. Predictably, the combination of IL-2 and IL-12 at therapeutic doses led to significant dose-limiting toxicity. Administering IL-12 and IL-2 analogs with preferential binding to cells expressing IL12rb1 and CD25, respectively, led to a significant extension of survival in mice with lung tumors while abrogating dose-limiting toxicity. These findings suggest that IL-12 and IL-2 represent a rational approach to combination cytokine therapy whose dose-limiting toxicity can be overcome with engineered cytokine variants.
