A method and device are disclosed for monitoring and / or altering an immune function. The method uses a resonance modulating compound as a coupling agent that is capable of interacting with the immune system to monitor or stimulate immune function. The resonance modulator has electromagnetic properties that attract immune cells to a target area to which the resonance modulating agent has been applied. Electromagnetic properties (such as a voltage amplitude) of the target region are altered in the presence of the resonance modulator, and serve as an indicator of immune function. An external stimulus (such as an applied electromagnetic field) can also be applied to the resonance modulator to enhance its immune stimulating and attractant properties. Particular examples of the resonance modulator are aryl hydrazones. The described aryl nitrohydrazones have the ability to interact with populations of cells with emergent behavioral characteristics associated with chemical, biological and radiation changes and injury. The disclosure also provides numerous other examples of resonance modulating agents, and provides attributes of these agents and assays for identifying additional resonance modulating agents.

Dislodgement and release of hsc from the bone marrow stem cell niche using alpha9 integrin antagonists

InactiveUS20170348375A1Altered susceptibilityLonger treatmentOrganic active ingredientsNervous disorderBone Marrow Stem CellHaematological disorders
Haematopoietic stem cell mobilization is a process whereby haematopoietic stem cells are stimulated out of the bone marrow space. Before HSC can mobilize, they must be dislodged and released from the BM stem cell niche in which they reside and are retained by adhesive interactions. Accordingly, in an aspect of the present invention there is provided a method for enhancing dislodgement of HSC and their precursors and progenitors thereof from a BM stem cell binding ligand in vivo or ex vivo, said method comprising administering in vivo or ex vivo an effective amount of an antagonist of an a 9 integrin or an active portion thereof to the BM stem cell niche. Once mobilized to the peripheral blood (PB) the HSC may be collected for transplant. Methods which enhance mobilization of the HSC can also improve treatments of haematological disorders.

Bifunctional vectors allowing bcl11a silencing and expression of an Anti-sickling hbb and uses thereof for gene therapy of b-hemoglobinopathies

The #β-hemoglobinopathies #β-thalassemia (BT) and sickle cell disease (SCD) are the most frequent genetic disorders worldwide. These diseases are caused by mutations causing reduced or abnormal synthesis of the β-globin chain of the adult hemoglobin (Hb) tetramer. Here, the inventors intend to improve HSC-based gene therapy for β-thalassemia and SCD by developing an innovative, highly infectious LV vector expressing a potent anti-sickling β-globin transgene and a second biological function either increasing fetal γ-globin expression (for β-thalassemia and SCD). More particularly, the inventors have designed a novel lentivirus (LV), which carry two different functions: βAS3 gene addition and gene silencing. This last strategy allows the re-expression of the fetal γ-globin genes (HBG1 and HBG2) and production of the endogenous fetal hemoglobin (HbF). Elevated levels of HbF and HbAS3 (Hb tetramer containing βAS3-globin) will benefit the β-hemoglobinopathy phenotype by increasing the total amount of β-like globin that will: (i) reduce the alpha precipitates and improve the alpha / non alpha ratio in β-thalassemia, and (ii) reduce the sickling in SCD. This combined strategy will improve the β-hemoglobinopathy phenotype at a lower vector copy number (VCN) per cell compared to a LV expressing the βAS3 alone.

Methods for increasing fetal hemoglobin content in eukaryotic cells and uses thereof for the treatment of hemoglobinopathies

The clinical severity of β-hemoglobinopathies is alleviated by the co-inheritance of genetic mutations causing a sustained fetal γ-globin chain production at adult age, a condition termed hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin (HPFH). Here, the inventors have compared the extent of fetal hemoglobin (HbF) de-repression following CRISPR / Cas9-mediated targeting of different regions of the HBG1 and HBG2 promoters in an adult erythroid cell line (HUDEP-2). They achieved a potent and pancellular HbF re-activation upon disruption of binding sites for γ-globin repressors located in both HBG1 and HBG2 genes. They validated these findings in Red Blood Cells (RBCs) derived from genome edited Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) patient hematopoietic stem / progenitor cells. Overall, this study identified a binding site for an HbF repressor as a novel and potent target for the treatment of β-hemoglobinopathies. Accordingly, the present invention relates to a method for increasing fetal hemoglobin content in a eukaryotic cell comprising the step of disrupting the binding site for Leukemia / lymphoma-related factor (LRF) in the HBG1 or HBG2 promoter.
