Unleashing natural IL-18 activity using an anti-IL-18BP blocker antibody induces potent immune stimulation and anti-tumor effects

Project description:Recombinant cytokines have limited anti-cancer efficacy mostly due to narrow therapeutic window and systemic adverse effects. IL-18 is an inflammasome induced proinflammatory cytokine that enhances T and NK cell activity and stimulates IFNg production. The activity of IL-18 is naturally blocked by a high affinity endogenous binding protein (IL-18BP). IL-18BP is induced in the tumor microenvironment (TME) in response to IFNg upregulation in a negative feedback mechanism. In this study we found that IL-18 is upregulated in the TME compared to the periphery across multiple human tumors and most of it is bound to IL-18BP. Bound IL-18 levels were largely above the amount required for T cell activation in vitro, implying that releasing IL-18 in the TME could lead to potent T cell immune activation. To restore the activity of endogenous IL-18 we generated COM503, a high affinity anti-IL-18BP antibody (Ab), that blocks the IL-18BP:IL-18 interaction and displaces pre-complexed IL-18 to enhance T cell and NK cell activation. In vivo, administration of a surrogate anti-IL-18BP Ab, either alone or in combination with anti-PD-L1 Ab, resulted in significant tumor growth inhibition and increased survival across multiple mouse tumor models. Moreover, anti-IL-18BP Ab induced pronounced TME-localized immune modulation including an increase in polyfunctional non-exhausted T and NK cell numbers and activation. In contrast, no increase in inflammatory cytokines and lymphocyte numbers or activation state was observed in serum and spleen. Taken together, blocking IL-18BP using an Ab is a promising novel approach to harness cytokine biology for the treatment of cancer.

Effects of engineered IL-18BP on attenuation of MASH liver

Project description:Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) is a chronic liver disease associated with hepatic inflammation and fibrosis. Inflammasome-mediated IL-18 signaling is enhanced under MASH condition. IL-18 binding protein (IL-18BP) is a soluble protein that can block IL-18 actions and therapeutic potential of IL-18BP for MASH-induced fibrosis is largely unknown. We newly developed a human IL-18BP biologics (APB-R3) and injected it to mice to evaluate its pharmacologic efficacy. APB-R3 strikingly abolished hepatic fibrosis and reduced collagen markers. We further investigated whether APB-R3 could inhibit fibrotic activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs). This study proposes that abrogation of IL-18 signaling by boosting IL-18BP can strongly inhibit the development of MASH-induced fibrosis and our engineered IL-18BP biologics can become promising therapeutic candidate for curing MASH.

IL-18BP is a secreted immune checkpoint and barrier to effective IL-18 immunotherapy

Project description:Recombinant cytokines were the first modern immunotherapies to produce durable cures in metastatic cancer, but their application has been hampered by only modest efficacy and limited tolerability. Next-generation cytokine therapies are therefore under development to overcome the biological limitations of native cytokines. By analyzing single-cell transcriptomic data from tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL), we found that components of the Interleukin-18 (IL-18) pathway are upregulated on activated and dysfunctional TIL, suggesting that IL-18 therapy could potentially restore anti-tumor immunity by stimulating these key effector cells. However, recombinant IL-18 therapy has consistently failed to demonstrate anti-tumor efficacy in clinical trials. Here we show that the secreted, high-affinity decoy receptor IL-18BP is frequently upregulated in the tumor microenvironment of diverse human cancers and syngeneic murine tumor models. Using directed evolution, we engineered a ‘decoy-resistant’ IL-18 (DR-18), which maintains signaling potential, but is impervious to binding and inhibition by IL-18BP. In contrast to wild-type IL-18, DR-18 exhibits potent anti-tumor efficacy as monotherapy and in combination with anti-PD-1 checkpoint immunotherapy in multiple tumor models. Mechanistically, DR-18 drives the development of poly-functional effector CD8+ T cells, decreases the prevalence of exhausted CD8+ T cells expressing the transcription factor TOX, and expands the pool of TCF1+ precursor CD8+ T cells. DR-18 also enhances NK cell activity and maturation to effectively treat anti-PD-1 resistant tumors that have lost MHC class I surface expression. Together, these results highlight the IL-18 pathway as a powerful target for immunotherapeutic intervention and implicate the secreted immune checkpoint IL-18BP as an obstacle to effective IL-18 immunotherapy.

IL-18 engineered to avoid decoy-receptor binding enhances tumor rejection by anti-CTLA-4 in kidney cancer models through immune microenvironment remodeling.

Project description:The cytokine interleukin-18 (IL-18) has immunostimulatory effects but is negatively regulated by a secreted binding protein, IL-18BP, that limits IL-18’s anti-cancer efficacy. A “decoy-resistant” form of IL-18 (DR-18), that avoids sequestration by IL-18BP while maintaining its immunostimulatory potential has recently been developed. Here, we investigate the therapeutic potential of DR-18 in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). We used immunocompetent RCC murine models to assess the efficacy of DR-18 in combination with single- and dual-agent anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA-4. In contrast to preclinical models of other tumor types, in RCC models DR-18 enhanced the activity of anti-CTLA-4 but not anti-PD-1 treatment. This activity correlated with intra-tumoral enrichment and clonal expansion of effector CD8+ T cells, decreased regulatory T cell levels, and enrichment of pro-inflammatory, anti-tumor myeloid cell populations, as assessed by scRNA- and scTCR-seq.

Proteomic analysis uncovers common effects of IFN-γ and IL-27 on antigen presentation machinery components in human cancer cells

Project description:IL-27, a member of the IL-12- family of cytokines, has shown anti-tumor activity in several pre-clinical models due to anti-proliferative, anti-angiogenic and immune-enhancing effects. On the other hand, IL-27 demonstrated immune-regulatory activities and inhibition of auto-immunity in mouse models. Also, we reported that IL-27, similar to IFN-, induces the expression of IL-18BP, IDO and PD-L1 immune-regulatory molecules in human cancer cells. Here, a proteomic analysis reveals that IL-27 and IFN- display a broad overlap of functions on human ovarian cancer cells. Indeed, among 990 proteins modulated by either cytokine treatment in SKOV3 cells, 814 showed a concordant modulation by both cytokines, while a smaller number (176) were differentially modulated. The most up-regulated proteins were common to both IFN-γ and IL-27. In addition, functional analysis of IL-27- regulated protein networks highlighted pathways of interferon signaling and regulation, antigen presentation, protection from natural killer cell-mediated cytotoxicity, regulation of protein polyubiquitination and proteasome, aminoacid catabolism and regulation of viral protein levels.
