Project description:To better understand the mechanism underlying the therapeutic effect of Delta-24-ACT, we evaluated the triggered immune response. Thus, we intratumorally injected Delta-24-ACT, Delta-24-RGD or PBS (mock group) 3 days after NP53 cell implantation (0D). Then, tumor immune infiltrate was analyzed by NanoString (15 days)

Project description:Pediatric high-grade glioma (pHGG) and diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPGs) are aggressive pediatric brain tumors in desperate need of a curative treatment. Oncolytic virotherapy is emerging as a solid therapeutic approach. Delta-24-RGD is a replication competent adenovirus engineered to replicate in tumor cells with an aberrant RB pathway. This virus has proven to be safe and effective in adult gliomas. Here we report that the administration of Delta-24-RGD is safe in mice and results in a significant increase in survival in immunodeficient and immunocompetent models of pHGG and DIPGs. Our results show that the Delta-24-RGD antiglioma effect is mediated by the oncolytic effect and the immune response elicited against the tumor. Altogether, our data highlight the potential of this virus as treatment for patients with these tumors. Of clinical significance, these data have led to the start of a phase I/II clinical trial at our institution for newly diagnosed DIPG (NCT03178032).

Project description:DIPG is a devastating paediatric and young adult brainstem tumour with no cure and a median overall survival of 9 months. Cellular immunotherapy approaches require specific targeting of unique and tumour specific cell surface antigens, however, there is a paucity of known targets for DIPG. Here we used a proteomics platform approach to interrogate an array of patient derived DIPG cell lines to facilitate a multi-omics based approach to identify cell surface protein candidates enriched or unique to DIPG.

Project description:Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is an aggressive and incurable childhood brain tumor for which new treatments are needed. A high throughput drug screen of 3600 pharmaceutical compounds found that anti-malarials, including quinacrine had potent activity against DIPG neurospheres. CBL0137 is a novel anti-cancer compound developed from quinacrine, which targets Facilitates Chromatin Transcription (FACT), a chromatin remodelling complex involved in transcription, replication, and DNA repair. We have found that CBL0137 displays profound cytotoxic activity against a panel of patient derived DIPG cultures, inhibiting cell proliferation and clonogenic potential, restoring tumor suppressor TP53 and Rb activity and inducing cell death through induction of apoptosis. Moreover, in an orthotopic model of DIPG, treatment with CBL0137 significantly extended animal survival. Histone mutations leading to the loss of histone trimethylation result in epigenetic dysregulation driving DIPG tumorigenesis. Treatment with CBL0137 targets this epigenetic defect, restoring both histone H3.3 acetylation and trimethylation and leading to tumor cell death. Combined epigenetic treatment with the histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor panobinostat led to inhibition of the Rb/E2F1 pathway, and increased the enzymatic activity of enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2), leading to the restoration of H3K27 trimethylation. This combination therapy had synergistic activity against DIPG neurospheres with induction of apoptosis. Consistent with the in vitro results, the combination of CBL0137 and panobinostat significantly prolonged the survival of mice bearing DIPG orthografts suggesting a potential treatment strategy for DIPG.

Project description:Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is a universally fatal malignancy of the childhood central nervous system, with a median overall survival of 9-11 months. We have previously shown that primary DIPG tissue contains numerous tumor-associated macrophages, and substantial work has demonstrated a significant pathological role for adult glioma-associated macrophages. However, work over the past decade has highlighted many molecular and genomic differences between pediatric and adult glioblastomas (GBM). Thus, we directly compared inflammatory characteristics of DIPG and adult GBM. We found that the leukocyte (CD45+) compartment in primary DIPG tissue samples is predominantly composed of CD11b+ macrophages, with very few CD3+ T-lymphocytes. In contrast, T-lymphocytes are more abundant in adult GBM tissue samples. RNA sequencing of macrophages isolated from primary tumor samples revealed that DIPG- and adult GBM-associated macrophages both express gene programs related to ECM remodeling and angiogenesis, but DIPG-associated macrophages express substantially fewer inflammatory factors than their adult GBM counterparts. Examining the secretome of glioma cells, we found that patient-derived DIPG cell cultures secrete markedly fewer cytokines and chemokines than patient-derived adult GBM cultures. Concordantly, bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing data indicates low to absent expression of chemokines and cytokines in DIPG. Together, these observations suggest that the inflammatory milieu of the DIPG tumor microenvironment is fundamentally different than adult GBM. The low intrinsic inflammatory signature of DIPG cells may contribute to the lack of lymphocytes and non-inflammatory phenotype of DIPG-associated microglia/macrophages. Understanding the glioma subtype-specific inflammatory milieu may inform the design and application of immunotherapy-based treatments.

Project description:Abstract With a 2-year survival less than 20%, Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) is the principal cause of pediatric death. Despite recent advances in the current treatments, the outcome for children with DIPGs remains dismal. Since the approval of T-VEC for melanoma by the FDA, oncolytic adenoviruses have emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy for brain tumors. Thus, our group launched the first world clinical trial phase I with the oncolytic adenovirus Delta-24-RGD (DNX-2401 in the clinic) for newly diagnosed DIPG (NCT03178032), which has shown safety and feasibility. Despite DNX-2401 increases the recruitment of T cells into the tumor, they usually become inactive due to the suppressive tumor microenvironment evidencing the urgent need to improve this strategy focusing on the generation of effective long-term immune responses. Therefore, we decided to combine the Delta-24-RGD with the targeting of the costimulatory molecule CD40 in two unique orthotopic immunocompetent mouse models of DIPG. The activation of the CD40 receptor, which is expressed by antigen presenting cells (APC) such as microglia, macrophages and dendritic cells, is known to increase antigen presentation and enable T-cell priming and activation. Here, we have observed that in addition to Delta-24-RGD anti-tumor effects, the stimulation of CD40 on the tumor APCs results in a remodeling of the tumor immune compartment with a more efficient T-cell tumor infiltration. Of importance, there is an increase of the survival of mice treated with the combination as compared to single treatments or non-treated mice. In addition, the combination therapy induced a complete regression of tumors in 25% of treated mice indicating the development of long-term anti-tumor immunity. We believe that these results provide a translational breakthrough in the treatment of these lethal tumors and open the door for a future innovative clinical trial.
