Project description:Tumor-specific cytotoxic T cells are required for effective immunotherapy. Here we introduce a bispecific fusion protein (tebentafusp) designed to target gp100 (a melanoma-associated antigen) through a high affinity T cell receptor binding domain, and through an anti-CD3 effector domain re-directs any cytotoxic T cell, regardless of its intrinsic specificity, to kill gp100-expressing tumor cells. In patients with metastatic melanoma, tebentafusp showed anti-tumor activity and manageable and predictable side effects. Notably, tebentafusp induced an increase in serum CXCL10 (a T cell attractant), and a reduction in circulating CXCR3+ CD8+ T cells together with an increase in cytotoxic T cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Furthermore, the appearance of rash, likely due to cytotoxic T cells targeting of gp100-expressing skin melanocytes, or an increase in serum CXCL10 showed a positive association with patient survival. Taken together, these results suggest that re-directing T cells using a gp100-targeting T cell receptor/anti-CD3 bispecific fusion protein may provide benefit to patients with metastatic melanoma.

Project description:CD3-bispecific antibodies represent an important therapeutic strategy in oncology. These molecules work by redirecting cytotoxic T cells to antigen-bearing tumor cells. Although CD3-bispecific antibodies have been developed for several clinical indications, cases of cancer-derived resistance are an emerging limitation to the more generalized application of these molecules. Here, we devised whole-genome CRISPR screens to identify cancer resistance mechanisms to CD3-bispecific antibodies across multiple targets and cancer types. By validating the screen hits, we found that deficiency in IFNγ signaling has a prominent role in cancer resistance. Interestingly, IFNγ functions by stimulating the expression of T cell killing-related molecules in a cell type-specific manner. Additionally, by assessing resistance to the clinical CD3-bispecific antibody flotetuzumab, we identified core fucosylation as a novel and critical pathway to regulate flotetuzumab binding to the CD123 antigen. Disruption of this pathway resulted in significant resistance to flotetuzumab treatment. Moreover, proper fucosylation of CD123 is required for its normal biological functions. In order to treat the resistance associated with fucosylation loss, flotetuzumab in combination with an alternative targeting CD3-bispecific antibody demonstrated superior efficacy. Together, our study reveals multiple mechanisms that can be targeted to enhance the clinical potential of current and future T cell engaging CD3-bispecific antibody therapies.

Project description:Engagement of the ICOS receptor represents a key event in a process that culminates in Bcl6 expression and acquisition of the TFH and TFR phenotype. To better understand the essentials of ICOS-mediated signaling pathway, we profiled the changes in gene expression elicited after co-ligation of ICOS and CD3 compared with CD3 ligation alone. Naïve CD4+ T-cells were purified from single cell suspensions of B6 spleen and stimulated with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 for 2d followed by resting overnight before 20 min of incubation with anti-CD3 and/or anti-ICOS and cross-linking with goat anti-hamster Ab for 8h. RNA was prepared, amplified, labeled and hybridized to Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Array (Affymetrix), in quadruplicates for anti-CD3 ligation and duplicates for anti-CD3/ anti-ICOS co-ligation.

Project description:Despite numerous therapeutic options, safe and curative therapy is out of reach for most chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients. We previously reported the identification of a patient-derived CLL-binding antibody, JML-1, and identified Siglec-6 as the target of JML-1. Siglec-6 is an attractive target for cancer immunotherapy due to its absence on healthy tissues and potential role in immune signaling. In this work, we identify additional patient-derived anti-Siglec-6 antibodies, RC-1 and RC-2, that bind with higher affinity than JML-1, yet exhibit similar specificity and overlapping conformational epitopes. Both JML-1 and RC-1 were employed to generate anti-Siglec-6 x anti-CD3 T cell-recruiting bispecific antibodies (T-biAbs) which were effective in vitro at activating T cells and lysing target cells. Upon engineering RC-1 into more compact and rigid T-biAb formats, we achieved sub-pM EC50 values for cell lysis in vitro. In addition, the T-biAbs mediated the killing of primary CLL cells by autologous T cells at natural effector-to-target cell ratios ex vivo. The increased potency of this T-biAb format appears to be due to the reduction in the length and/or flexibility of the cytolytic synapse. Furthermore, the anti-Siglec-6 x anti-CD3 T-biAb was effective at curing mice in a systemic in vivo model of CLL.

Project description:Type 1 diabetes (T1D) results from autoimmune destruction of β cells in the pancreas. Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) are candidate genes for T1D and play a key role in autoimmune disease development and β-cell function. Here, we assessed the global protein and individual PTP profile in the pancreas of diabetic NOD mice treated with anti-CD3 mAb and IL-1RA combination therapy. The treatment reversed hyperglycemia compared to the anti-CD3 alone control group. We observed enhanced expression of PTPN2, a T1D candidate gene, and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) chaperones in the islets from cured mice.

Project description:Antibodies and derivative drugs targeting immune checkpoints have been approved for the treatment of several malignancies, but there are fewer responses in patients with pancreatic cancer. Here, we designed a nanobody molecule with bi-targeting on PD-L1 and CXCR4, as both targets are overexpressed in many cancer cells and play important roles in tumorigenesis. The nanobody sequences targeting PD-L1 and CXCR4 were linked by the (G4S)3 flexible peptide to construct the anti-PD-L1/CXCR4 bispecific nanobody. The bispecific nanobody was expressed in E. coli cells and purified by affinity chromatography. The purified nanobody was biochemically characterized by mass spectrometry, Western blotting and flow cytometry to confirm the molecule and its association with both PD-L1 and CXCR4. The biological function of the nanobody and its anti-tumour effects were examined.

Project description:KY1044 is a human monoclonal IgG1 that selectively binds to Inducible T cell CO-stimulator (ICOS). The co-stimulatory effect of KY1044-stimulated human T cells was analysed by RNA sequencing (RNA seq). Purified pre-activated (ICOS+ve) T cells were stimulated with either KY1044 and anti-CD3 or anti-CD3 alone and cells were harvested for RNA seq after 6hrs. Kallisto transcript abundance are provided in the absence of raw sequence reads.

Project description:The tolerogenic anti-CD3 monoclonal antibodies (anti-CD3) are promising compounds for the treatment of type 1 diabetes (T1D). Anti-CD3 administration induces transient T-cell depletion both in preclinical and in clinical studies. Notably, said depletion mainly affects CD4+ but not CD8+ T cells. Moreover, T1D reversal in preclinical models is accompanied by the selective expansion of CD4+FOXP3+ T regulatory (Treg) cells, which are fundamental for the long-term maintenance of anti-CD3-mediated tolerance. The mechanisms that lead to this immune-shaping by affecting mainly CD4+ T effector cells while sparing CD4+FOXP3+ Treg cells have still to be fully elucidated. This study shows that CD3 expression levels differ from one T-cell subset to another. CD4+FOXP3- T cells contain higher amounts of CD3 molecules than do CD4+FOXP3+ and CD8+ T cells both in mice and in humans. Said differences may explain the anti-CD3-mediated immune resetting that occurs in vivo after anti-CD3 administration in mice. In addition, transcriptome analysis demonstrates that CD4+FoxP3+ Treg cells are significantly less responsive than CD4+FoxP3- T cells to anti-CD3 treatment at molecular levels. Thus, heterogeneity in CD3 expression likely confers the various T-cell subsets differing susceptibility to in vivo tolerogenic anti-CD3-mediated modulation. This data sheds new light on the molecular mechanism that underlies anti-CD3-mediated immune resetting, and thus may open new opportunities to improve this promising treatment.
