Problems solved by technology

Such personalized cell therapy is not only costly ($475,000 per treatment for Kymriah, $373,000 per treatment for Yescarta) but also time-consuming, which in some cases could be a matter of life and death

Embodiment 1

[0127] This example illustrates the expression levels of HLA-F in iPS (iPSC 9211) and HEK-293 cells with or without transfection of exogenous nucleic acid.

[0128] To measure the mRNA levels of HLA-E, HLA-F and HLA-G in cells, total RNA was extracted from cells using the Quick-RNA Microprep kit (Zymo Research). cDNA was prepared from total RNA extracts using the iScript cDNA synthesis kit (Bio-Rad). HLA-E, F and G levels were determined by real-time PCR using go-Tag green polymerase (Promega) and the following primers.

Embodiment 2

[0135] This example illustrates HLA-F expression in modified and unmodified HEK293 cells.

[0136] The inventors have previously made TARGATT TM HEK293 cells are ready for gene insertion (see Figure 7 ). Use TARGATT TM HEK293 cells, the inventors generated modified HEK293 cells comprising a single copy insertion of HLA-F or HLA-G at the H11 locus of the safe harbor genome. The same qRT-PCR was performed to measure mRNA expression. The data in Table 3 demonstrate that HEK293 cells have higher basal levels of HLA expression compared to iPS cells, with more HLA-F and G expressed in HEK293 compared to HLA-E. One copy of exogenous HLA-F and HLA-G increased HLA-F and HLA-G expression 10-fold and 7-fold, respectively.

Embodiment 3

[0141] This example illustrates the expression of HLA-F variants in HEK293 cells.

[0142] Naturally occurring HLA-F contains from N-terminal to C-terminal: HLA-Fα1 domain, α2 domain, α3 domain, transmembrane domain and cytoplasmic domain. The HLA-Fα1 domain and the α2 domain form the peptide binding groove. The HLA-Fα3 domain binds to β-2 globulin (β2M), which is required for the stability of the HLA-F complex.

[0143] In addition to the "canonical" isoform 1 (SEQ ID NO: 1 or 2), which has 346 amino acids (the short form of HLA-F in Table 4, referred to as "HLA-F-S"), HLA-F exists in various subtypes, mainly subtype 3, which is the longest subtype with an additional 96 amino acid sequence in its cytoplasmic region (for the HLA-F long form, referred to as "HLA-F-L", SEQ ID NO: 3 or 4).

[0144] The inventors have produced an HLA-F-β2M fusion protein ( Figure 5 C and Figure 5 D), which contains a signal peptide, α1, 2 and 3 domains, 15 amino acids (GGGGS) from N-termina...

Abstract

The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for cell transplantation therapy based on the forced expression of an exogenous HLA-F protein in donor cells to be transplanted into a subject. In some embodiments, a donor cell expresses an exogenous chimeric HLA-F protein comprising an extracellular region comprising an HLA-F [alpha] 1 domain, an HLA-F [alpha] 2 domain, an HLA-F [alpha] 3 domain, a linker, and a [beta] 2m protein.

Description

[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0002] This application claims priority to US Provisional Patent Application No. 63 / 069,141, dated Aug. 23, 2020, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. [0003] Field of Invention [0004] The present disclosure generally relates to cell biology, immunology, and cell transplantation therapy. In particular, the present disclosure relates to compositions and methods for cell transplantation therapy based on the enforced expression of exogenous HLA-F proteins or variants thereof in donor cells to be transplanted into a subject. Background technique [0005] Cell transplantation therapy is a procedure in which a patient receives donor cells to replace damaged cells or to maintain biological function through donor cells. One of the main risks of cell transplantation therapy is rejection of the transplanted cells by the recipient's immune system, especially when the donor cells are from a foreign host. To re...
