Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application claims the benefit of priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63 / 434,395, filed December 21, 2022, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
[0002] Sequence Listing This application contains a Sequence Listing that has been submitted in ST26 format and is incorporated by reference in its entirety. The ST26 copy, created on December 7, 2023, is named MDAC_P1350WO_Sequence_Listing.xml and is 487,676 bytes in size.
[0003] The present disclosure relates to at least the fields of immunology, cell biology, molecular biology, and medicine (including at least cancer medicine). [Background technology]
[0004] Natural killer (NK) cells have been investigated as potential antitumor effectors, but numerous barriers, primarily related to a lack of antigen specificity, limit their therapeutic use. One approach to overcome this is to transduce NK cells with chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) or engineered T cell receptors (TCRs) to target desired antigens. For T cells, bispecific or multispecific antibodies, such as bispecific T cell engagers (BiTEs), can be used to bind CD3 on the T cell surface and also antigens on cancer cells. CD3 is composed of four distinct chains, and in mammals, the CD3γ chain, CD3δ chain, and two CD3ε chains form a complex. These chains interact with the T cell receptor (TCR) and ζ (zeta) chain, generating activation signals in T lymphocytes. However, NK cells do not naturally express the CD3 receptor complex or TCR. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0005] The present disclosure fulfills a long-felt need in the art for improved immunotherapies, including immunotherapies that utilize NK cells. [Means for solving the problem]

These results demonstrated that effector cells containing the NY-ESO TCR construct described herein robustly inhibited tumor growth in vivo. [Figure 22-2] Same as above. [Figure 22-3] Same as above.
[0084] [Figure 23-1]Figures 23A-23B show the in vitro activity of effector cells (e.g., NK cells or T cells) containing NY-ESO-targeting TCR and UT-NK15 constructs. Figure 23A shows an image of a spheroid formed by the osteosarcoma tumor cell line Saos-2 stably transduced to express GFP, which was used to test the cytotoxic activity of NY-ESO1-specific TCR-expressing NK cells and T cells. Figure 23B shows a graph showing the percentage of cytotoxicity (Y-axis) of a representative image after 3 days of coculture. NK cells were cotransfected with the NY-ESO-TCR and the UT-NK15 signaling complex coexpressing different costimulatory molecules fused to the CD3ζ signaling chain or an IL-15-free TCR complex. T cells were transduced only with the NY-ESO TCR. Abbreviations in graph: 28 = CD3ζ fused to the CD28 costimulatory domain; 10 = CD3ζ fused to the Dap10 costimulatory domain; 8 = CD8α / β coreceptor as part of the NY ESO TCR construct; wo IL-15 = construct containing only the CD3 zeta, epsilon, gamma, delta TCR complex without costimulation or IL-15. [Figure 23-2] Same as above.
[0085] [Figure 24-1]Figures 24A-24D show the in vivo activity of effector cells (e.g., NK cells or T cells) containing NY-ESO-targeting TCR and UT-NK15 constructs. Figure 24A shows the in vivo study design for testing the activity of different NY-ESO TCR-transduced NK cells and T cells. Figure 24B depicts BLI imaging results from a study outlined and performed according to Figure 24A. Mice were injected with U266 tumor cells and, 3 days later, administered T cells transduced with NY-ESO-specific TCRs or NK cells cotransduced with NY-ESO TCR and UT-NK15 carrying CD3ζ fused to CD28 (labeled as NY-ESO NK UT-NK15 CD28 or NY-ESO TCR UTNK-15 CD28 NK cells). A tumor-only group was used as a control. Figure 24C is a graph showing the region of interest mean luminance intensity of the animals tested according to Figure 24A and imaged in Figure 24B. Figure 24D is a graph depicting the cohort survival curves of the aforementioned animals. [Figure 24-2] Same as above. [Figure 24-3] Same as above. [Figure 24-4] Same as above.
[0086] [Figure 25] Figure 25 shows the in vivo activity of effector cells (e.g., NK cells) engineered to express the NY-ESO TCR and CD3 complex, with or without an IL-15 transgene incorporated into the construct. NSG mice were irradiated (300 cGy) and the following day injected via the tail vein with 0.5 million U266 cells (an HLA-A2-positive, NY-ESO-expressing myeloma cell line). Three days later, mice received 5 million TCR-transduced T cells or NK cells. Mice were monitored for tumor control by BLI imaging. NK cells were transduced with the NY-ESO-specific TCR, with or without expression of the CD8α / β co-receptor, and co-transduced with the CD3 complex without IL-15 transduction, or with UT-NK15 expressing CD3ζ fused to CD28 (UT-NK15 CD28) or CD3ζ fused to DAP10 (UT-NK15 DAP10) as costimulatory molecules.
[0087] [Figure 26-1]Figures 26A-26C show the in vitro expression of PRAME (Preferentially Expressed Antigen in Melanoma) TCR in effector cells (e.g., NK cells or T cells) and the in vitro activity of these cells. Figure 26A shows the expression of both UT-NK15 (x-axis, CD3) and PRAME-specific TCR (y-axis, TCR) in NK cells (TCR clones 46, 54, or DSK3, respectively), or the expression of PRAME-specific TCR in T cells transduced with them (TCR clones 46 or 54). Figure 26B shows the in vitro cytotoxicity of NK cells expressing PRAME-specific TCR against the U266 myeloma cell line. IncuCyte® Live Cell Imaging was used to measure the cytotoxicity of PRAME-specific TCR-transduced T cells and NK cells transduced with UT-NK15 and PRAME-specific TCR against U266 myeloma cells. GFP-expressing U266 cells were cocultured with T cells or NK cells expressing PRAME-specific TCRs at an effector:target ratio of 1:1. A decrease in GFP expression indicated cell death. 26 hours later, 50,000 tumor cells (labeled "rechallenging") were added to each well for a second time for tumor rechallenge assay. Open symbols represent T cells, and filled symbols represent NK cells. NT = non-transduced. Figure 26C shows the in vitro cytotoxicity of NK cells expressing PRAME-specific TCRs against the UA375 melanoma cell line. Using IncuCyte® live cell imaging, we measured the cytotoxicity of T cells transduced with PRAME-specific TCRs and NK cells transduced with UT-NK15 and PRAME-specific TCRs (PRAME-specific TCR clone 46 (TCR-46), PRAME-specific TCR clone 54 (TCR-54), or PRAME-specific TCR clone DSK3 (DSK)) against UA375 melanoma cells. GFP-expressing UA375 cells were cocultured with PRAME-expressing T cells or NK cells at an effector:target ratio of 1:1. A decrease in GFP expression indicates cell death. After 26 hours, 50,000 tumor cells were added to each well for tumor rechallenge assay.Open symbols represent T cells, filled symbols represent NK cells. NT = non-transduced. [Figure 26-2] Same as above. [Figure 26-3] Same as above.
[0088] [Figure 27-1]Figures 27A-27D show the in vitro expression and cytotoxic function of invariant natural killer T cell receptors (iTCRs) on NK cells. Additional experimental details are provided in Example 6, below. Figure 27A depicts exemplary flow cytometry plots showing the expression of three different iTCR pairs, each consisting of iTCRα (SEQ ID NO: 295) and either iTCRβ chain 1 (SEQ ID NO: 297), iTCRβ chain 2 (SEQ ID NO: 299), or iTCRβ chain 3 (SEQ ID NO: 301), and CD3 on NK cells, using antibodies specific for the iTCR target Vα24 and Vβ11 regions (y-axis and x-axis, respectively). Figure 27B shows exemplary flow cytometry plots showing the binding of blinatumomab (y-axis) to NK cells expressing the three different CD3 / iTCR complexes described in (A), e.g., iTCR1, iTCR2, and iTCR3, respectively. NK cells were derived from three donors: cell donor 4 (CD4), cell donor 8 (CD8), or cell donor N (CDN). Blinatumomab binding to CD3 was confirmed by flow cytometry using Miltenyi Biotech's CAR19 detection kit. Figure 27C shows the results of an IncuCyte® live cell imaging assay used to measure the cytotoxicity of NK cells preloaded with blinatumomab and co-transduced with iTCR and UT-NK15 against GFP-expressing Raji tumor cells at an effector-to-target ratio of 3:1. T cells and iNKT cells served as positive and negative controls, respectively. A decrease in GFP expression indicates cell death. Three NK donor lines, CB152, CB153, and CB154, were utilized. NK cells were transduced with three different CD3 / iTCR complexes, e.g., iTCR1, iTCR2, or iTCR3, as described in (A), or left untransduced (NT) (as a negative control). Figure 27D depicts a bar graph showing the % residual tumor (Y-axis) for the data shown in Figure 27C. An unpaired t-test was used to individually compare iNKT cells bearing each of the different iTCRs. CD3 / iTCR NK cells were significantly (P=<0.01) more cytotoxic than iNKT cells (N=3 replicates). [Figure 27-2] Same as above. [Figure 27-3] Same as above. [Figure 27-4] Same as above.
[0089] [Figure 28-1]Figures 28A-28D show the cloning of iTCR sequences from NK T cells isolated from human umbilical cord blood, and the transgenic expression and efficacy of a subset of iTCR clones in transduced cord blood-derived NK cells. Additional experimental details are described in Example 6 below. Figure 28A shows exemplary flow cytometry results demonstrating the isolation of iTCR clones from iNKT cells purified from five cord blood donors and the expression of iTCR on the donor's iNKT cells. iNKT cells were isolated from five cord blood donors using Miltenyi Biotech™ iNKT isolation kits. Isolated cells were stimulated and expanded with irradiated cord blood PBMCs (40 Gry) in the presence of 100 ng / ml α-galactosylceramide and 200 U / ml IL-2. Seven days after iNKT expansion, the purity of the iNKT cultures was confirmed by iNKT-specific antibodies against Vα24 and Vβ11. Total mRNA was extracted from iNKT cells, and cDNA of the Vβ-DJ region was cloned and sequenced (100 clones). Figure 28B shows the sequence of the iTCRβ clone Vβ-DJ sequence. Figure 28C depicts the transgenic expression of Vα24 and CD3 in transgenic CD3 / iTCR-expressing NK cell populations from three umbilical cord blood donors. NK cells were co-transduced with iTCR (eight randomly selected iTCRβ clones with coding sequences represented by SEQ ID NOs: 300, 302, 304, 306, 308, 310, 312, or 314, clones 3, 18, 24, 51, 56, 76, 93, and 96, respectively, and the iTCRα coding sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 292) and UT-NK15 on day 5. iTCR expression was confirmed by flow cytometry using an iTCR-specific antibody against Vα24 and an antibody against CD3. Figure 28D is a graph depicting the results of IncuCyte® live cell imaging-mediated measurement of the cytotoxicity of NK cells co-transduced with iTCR (as shown in Figure 28B) and UT-NK15 and pre-loaded with blinatumomab (1 hour at 37°C) against GFP-expressing Raji cells at a target-effector ratio of 3:1. T cells served as a positive control, and non-transformed (NT) cells served as a negative control. A decrease in GFP expression indicated tumor cell death. [Figure 28-2] Same as above.

[0092] Throughout this specification, references to "one embodiment," "an embodiment," "a particular embodiment," "a related embodiment," "an embodiment," "an additional embodiment," or "a further embodiment," or combinations thereof, mean that the particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment of the invention. Thus, the appearances of such phrases in various places throughout this specification do not necessarily all refer to the same embodiment. Furthermore, the particular features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments.
[0093] As used herein, the terms "or" and "and / or" are used to describe multiple components in combination or mutually exclusive. For example, "x, y, and / or z" can refer to "x" alone, "y" alone, "z" alone, "x, y, and z," "(x and y) or z," "x or (y and z)," or "x or y or z." It is specifically contemplated that x, y, or z may be specifically excluded from an embodiment.
[0094] Throughout this application, the term "about" is used in accordance with its plain and ordinary meaning within the field of cell and molecular biology to indicate that a value includes the standard deviation of error for the device or method being employed to determine the value.
[0095] As used herein, the term "CD3 receptor complex" or "CD3 co-receptor complex" refers to the protein complex that acts as a T cell co-receptor in nature and is composed of the CD3ζ chain, the CD3γ chain, the CD3δ chain, and two CD3ε chains (although alternatively only one CD3ε chain is used).
[0096] As used herein, the term "engineered" refers to an entity created by the hand of man, including cells, nucleic acids, polypeptides, vectors, etc. In at least some cases, an engineered entity is synthetic and comprises elements that do not occur in nature or are not constructed by the methods utilized in this disclosure. In specific embodiments, the vector is engineered by recombinant nucleic acid techniques and the cell is engineered by transfection or transduction of the engineered vector. The cell can be engineered to express a heterologous protein that is not naturally expressed by the cell, either because the heterologous protein is a recombinant or synthetic protein, or because the cell does not naturally express the protein.
[0097] The phrases "pharmaceutically or pharmacologically acceptable" refer, as appropriate, to molecular entities and compositions that do not produce adverse, allergic, or other untoward reactions when administered to an animal, such as a human. The preparation of pharmaceutical compositions containing an antibody or additional active ingredient will be known to those of skill in the art in light of the present disclosure. Furthermore, it will be understood that when administered to an animal (e.g., a human), preparations should meet sterility, pyrogenicity, general safety, and purity standards as required by the FDA Office of Biological Standards.
[0098] As used herein, "pharmaceutically acceptable carriers" include any and all aqueous solvents (e.g., parenteral vehicles such as water, alcoholic / aqueous solutions, saline, sodium chloride, Ringer's dextrose, etc.), non-aqueous solvents (e.g., propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, vegetable oils, and injectable organic esters such as ethyloleate), dispersion media, coatings, surfactants, antioxidants, preservatives (e.g., antibacterial or antifungal agents, antioxidants, chelating agents, and inert gases), isotonicity agents, absorption delaying agents, salts, drugs, drug stabilizers, gels, binders, excipients, disintegrants, lubricants, sweeteners, flavoring agents, dyes, fluid and nutrient replenishers, and such materials and combinations thereof will be known to those skilled in the art. The pH and exact concentration of the various components in the pharmaceutical composition are adjusted according to well-known parameters.
[0099] The term "subject" as used herein generally refers to an individual who has or is suspected of having cancer. A subject can be any living organism or animal subject that is the subject of a method or material, including mammals, e.g., humans, laboratory animals (e.g., primates, rats, mice, rabbits), livestock (e.g., cows, sheep, goats, pigs, turkeys, and chickens), household pets (e.g., dogs, cats, and rodents), horses, and transgenic non-human animals. A subject can be, for example, a patient who has or is suspected of having a disease (sometimes called a pathology), such as a benign or malignant neoplasm or cancer. A subject may be undergoing or have undergone treatment. A subject may be asymptomatic. A subject may be a healthy individual but wishing to prevent cancer. The terms "individual" and "subject" are used interchangeably, at least in some cases. As used herein, a "subject" or "individual" may or may not be housed in a medical facility, or may be treated as an outpatient in a medical facility. An individual may receive "one or more medical compositions" via the internet. Individuals may include humans or non-human animals of any age, and thus include both adults and juveniles (i.e., children) and infants, as well as individuals in utero. The term does not imply the need for medical treatment, and therefore individuals may participate in experiments, whether clinical or in support of basic scientific research, whether voluntary or involuntary.
[0100] As used herein, "therapy" or "treatment" includes any beneficial or desired effect on the symptoms or pathology of a disease or pathological condition, and may include even a minimal reduction in one or more measurable markers of the disease or condition being treated, such as cancer. Treatment can optionally include either a reduction or amelioration of one or more symptoms of a disease or condition, or a delay in the progression of a disease or condition. "Treatment" does not necessarily indicate a complete eradication or cure of a disease or condition or its associated symptoms. Treatment can also refer to the alleviation of at least one symptom of a disease or condition.
[0101] As used herein, the term "TCR / CD3 complex" refers to a protein complex that is naturally present on the surface of T cells and contains the CD3ζ, CD3γ, CD3δ, and CD3ε chains, as well as the T cell receptor (TCR) α and β chains, the invariant natural killer T cell receptor (iTCR) α and β chains, and / or the T cell receptor γ and δ chains.
[0102] Disclosed Embodiments Natural killer (NK) cells are an emerging cellular immunotherapy for patients with hematological malignancies as well as solid cancers. The present disclosure relates, inter alia, to NK cells that have been modified to enhance their immunotherapeutic function compared to unmodified NK cells. This modification allows the NK cells to have greater versatility when used with other therapeutic agents and, at least in some embodiments, T-cell-like activity by utilizing the CD3 / TCR receptor complex. In specific embodiments, NK cells are engineered to express either (i) a single CD3 chain (CD3-zeta, CD3-epsilon, CD3-delta, or CD3-gamma), or part or all of the human CD3 receptor complex (including any combination of CD3-delta, epsilon (one or two copies of epsilon), gamma, and zeta); or (ii) a single CD3 chain or the human CD3 receptor complex (including any combination of CD3-delta, epsilon (one or two copies), gamma, and zeta), either as full-length proteins or as partial proteins heterologously linked to one or more intracellular signaling domains); and (iii) the CD3 complex may or may not include a T cell receptor (αβ or γδ) and / or an iTCR receptor (αβ). The present disclosure relates to the use of CD3-expressing NK cells in the diagnosis and treatment of disease, including the use of cells in combination with bispecific or multispecific antibodies in which one epitope of the antibody binds to CD3 on the CD3-expressing NK cells. CD3-expressing NK cells can be pre-complexed with bi / multispecific antibodies ex vivo or complexed in vivo to direct their specificity to the target antigen. In a diagnostic embodiment, labeled NK cells can be loaded with any type of bispecific or multispecific antibody, including at least an anti-CD3 antibody, and the loaded labeled NK cells can be monitored for trafficking to the site of the target antigen to which another antibody on the bispecific or multispecific antibody binds.
[0103] In certain embodiments of the present disclosure, the TCR recognizes an antigen and / or epitope presented by a major histocompatibility complex (MHC). In certain embodiments, the antigen and / or epitope is a peptide, lipid, and / or glycolipid. In certain embodiments, the MHC is class I MHC. In certain embodiments, the MHC is class II MHC. In certain embodiments, the MHC is a non-classical MHC. In certain embodiments, the MHC is class I-like MHC. In certain embodiments, the MHC is CD1d.
[0104] In certain embodiments, the TCR target antigen is not primarily what confers target antigen specificity to the transduced effector cell, hi certain embodiments, the TCR acts primarily as a stabilizer of the CD3 co-receptor complex, while the antibody provides the primary target antigen specificity to the transduced effector cell.
[0105] Disclosed Compositions The present disclosure relates to compositions comprising at least engineered NK cells that express at least a portion of a TCR / CD3 complex. In some cases, the compositions also include bispecific or multispecific antibodies, including in the same formulation, although in alternative embodiments, the NK cells and antibodies are utilized as physically separate compositions.

[0137] In specific embodiments, NK cells are engineered to express one or more of the TCR α chain, TCR β chain, TCR γ chain, and TCR δ chain, and any combination thereof may be utilized. In certain embodiments, the TCR may be an invariant natural killer cell TCR (iTCR). In certain embodiments, NK cells are engineered to express a T cell receptor (TCR) α β chain, iTCR α β chain, or TCR γ δ chain. In certain embodiments, NK cells are engineered to express only a portion or all of the constant region of one or more of the TCR α chain, iTCR α chain, TCR β chain, iTCR β chain, TCR γ chain, and TCR δ chain. NK cells can be engineered to express only a portion or all of the constant region of the T cell receptor (TCR) α β chain, TCR γ δ chain, or iTCR α β chain. When a portion of a constant region is utilized, the portion of the constant region can be at least 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 175, 200, 225, 250, 275, 300, 325, 350, 375, or 400 amino acids, including any contiguous amino acids of the constant region. The portion of the constant region can include at least 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, or 99% of the amino acids of the constant region, including any contiguous amino acids of the constant region.
[0138] In specific embodiments, any of the sequences encompassed herein are utilized to modify NK cells, while in other embodiments, sequences related to these in identity are utilized, for example, related sequences that are at least 80, 85, 90, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99% identical to any of the sequences encompassed herein may be utilized in the present disclosure.
[0139] Specific constructs for the expression of various TCR / CD3 proteins in NK cells can be utilized in a variety of configurations. In particular, NK cells can be transduced or transfected with one or more vectors for expressing any of the various proteins encompassed herein, including at least one or more components of the TCR / CD3 complex. In particular, the one or more vectors themselves may or may not be multicistronic, ultimately capable of producing two or more distinct polypeptides. When one or more multicistronic vectors are employed, they may utilize one or more internal ribosome entry sites (IRES) and / or one or more 2A self-cleaving peptide sites. When one or more 2A sequences are utilized, GSG is an optional linker:
[0140] T2A (GSG) EGRGSLLTCGDVEENPGP (SEQ ID NO: 21)
[0141] P2A (GSG) ATNFSLLKQAGDVEENPGP (SEQ ID NO: 22)

[0143] F2A (GSG) VKQTLNFDLLKLAGDVESNPGP (SEQ ID NO: 24)
[0144] In situations where multiple protein components are expressed from a multicistronic vector, the order from 5' to 3' on the polynucleotide vector can be any order, although in other aspects, they are present on the vector in a specific order. The multicistronic vector expresses multiple components of the CD3 receptor complex and no other heterologous proteins, or the multicistronic vector expresses multiple components of the CD3 receptor complex and one or more other heterologous proteins. The multicistronic vector expresses multiple components of the TCR receptor complex and no other heterologous proteins, or the multicistronic vector expresses multiple components of the TCR receptor complex and one or more other heterologous proteins. The multicistronic vector may or may not express one or more components of the TCR receptor complex and one or more components of the CD3 complex. In specific embodiments, the multicistronic vector contains one or more components of the CD3 receptor complex and one or more heterologous proteins, such as a cytokine or an engineered antigen receptor such as a CAR.
[0145] Figure 2A shows an example of a multicistronic vector in which full-length CD3ε, CD3δ, CD3γ, and CD3ζ are present, separated by the same or different 2A self-cleaving peptide sites. As further illustrated in the plasmid map in Figure 2B, the multicistronic vector may contain the signal peptide, extracellular domain, transmembrane domain, and intracellular domain of each of CD3ε, CD3δ, CD3γ, and CD3ζ.
[0146] Figure 3 is a table showing various examples of TCR expression constructs for engineering TCR-expressing NK cells. In certain embodiments of the present disclosure, the CD3 receptor component and the TCR receptor component are expressed in NK cells from different vectors. In either case, the vector can express a TCR directed against a specific antigen, such as a cancer antigen or a viral antigen. The TCR may or may not include at least a portion of CD3ζ, including the intracellular domain of CD3ζ, and NK cells also express CD3ζ as both a molecule separate from the TCR and as part of the CD3 receptor complex. Similarly, the CAR may or may not include at least a portion of CD3ζ, including the intracellular domain of CD3ζ, in addition to NK cells expressing CD3ζ as both a molecule separate from the TCR and as part of the CD3 receptor complex.
[0147] In a specific embodiment, the TCR of the modified NK cell is utilized as a structural support or scaffold to promote the function or enhanced function of the CD3 receptor complex, not necessarily as a therapeutic aspect of the cell. That is, the TCR can be any TCR, and is not utilized for its ability to specifically target a desired antigen. In such a case, for example, a TCR targeting a viral antigen can be employed in NK cells used for cancers that are not necessarily related to that particular virus. Alternatively, a TCR targeting a specific cancer antigen may be selected. Examples of antigens targeted by TCRs are described elsewhere herein.
[0148] Figure 3 shows the following example configuration:

[0192] As depicted in Figure 3 and described above, the term "linked" refers to the presence of two polypeptides on the same polynucleotide vector, and does not necessarily mean that the two polypeptides are expressed as a single polypeptide. For example, a cytokine produced from a vector of the present disclosure may ultimately be produced as a molecule separate from any one or more TCR / CD3 receptor complex components. In contrast, the term "fused" or "fusion" refers to two polypeptides that contain a peptide bond linking the two molecules, i.e., the two polypeptides are covalently linked by an amide bond and are not separated by a dividing element, such as a 2A element.

[0253] B.NK cells NK cells modified to express the TCR / CD3 receptor complex can be obtained from any suitable source, including fresh or frozen. In certain embodiments, the NK cells are not NK cells obtained from iPSC differentiation. In certain embodiments, the NK cells are obtained from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), unstimulated leukocyte products (PBSCs), NK cell lines (e.g., NK-92), human embryonic stem cells (hESCs), induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), bone marrow, or umbilical cord blood by methods well known in the art. Specifically, NK cells can be isolated from umbilical cord blood (CB), peripheral blood (PB), bone marrow, stem cells, NK cell lines, or mixtures thereof. In certain embodiments, the NK cells are isolated from pooled CB. CB may be pooled from 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or more units. The NK cells may be autologous or allogeneic with respect to the recipient individual. Isolated NK cells can be haplotype-matched or mismatched to the recipient of cell therapy. NK cells can be detected by specific surface markers, such as CD16 and CD56 in humans. In some cases, the source of NK cells is umbilical cord blood, which is a heterogeneous cell population and may be depleted of specific cells expressing CD3. In other methods, umbilical cord blood is used to derive NK cells by isolating CD34+ cells.
[0254] NK cells may be preactivated with one or more inflammatory cytokines and may or may not have been expanded. In some cases, NK cells are preactivated before being modified to express CD3±TCR or after being modified to express the CD3±TCR complex. In a specific embodiment, preactivation of NK cells may include culturing isolated NK cells in the presence of one or more cytokines. NK cells may be stimulated with IL-2 or other cytokines that bind to the common gamma chain (e.g., IL-7, IL-12, IL-15, IL-18, IL-21, etc.). In certain embodiments, the preactivation cytokine may be selected from the group consisting of IL-12, IL-15, IL-18, and combinations thereof. One or more additional cytokines may be used in the preactivation step. Pre-activation may be for a short period of time such as 5 to 72 hours, for example 10 to 50 hours, particularly 10 to 20 hours, for example 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 or 20 hours, particularly about 16 hours. The pre-activation culture may comprise IL-12 at a concentration of 0.1 to 150 ng / mL, for example 0.5 to 50 ng / mL, particularly 1 to 20 ng / mL, for example 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 or 15 ng / mL, particularly about 10 ng / mL. The pre-activation culture may comprise IL-18 and / or IL-15 at a concentration of 10-100 ng / mL, such as 40-60 ng / mL, particularly 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, or 55 ng / mL, particularly about 50 ng / mL.
[0255] In some cases, NK cells are expanded before or after being modified to express a CD3±TCR complex. Preactivated NK cells can be expanded in the presence of artificial antigen-presenting cells (aAPCs) and / or feeder fragments or NK activation beads. Preactivated NK cells may be washed two, three, four, or five times, particularly three times, before expansion. aAPCs can be engineered to express CD137 ligand and / or membrane-bound cytokines. The membrane-bound cytokine may be membrane-bound IL-21 (mIL-21) or membrane-bound IL-15 (mIL-15). In certain embodiments, aAPCs are engineered to express CD137 ligand and mIL-21. aAPCs may be derived from cancer cells, such as leukemia cells. aAPCs may not express endogenous HLA class I, II, or CD1d molecules. The aAPCs may express ICAM-1 (CD54) and LFA-3 (CD58). In particular, the aAPCs may be K562 cells, such as K562 cells engineered to express CD137 ligand and mIL-21. The aAPCs may be irradiated. In some embodiments, fragments of APCs can be used to expand NK cells. Engineering can be performed by any method known in the art, such as retroviral transduction. Retroviral transduction can be performed at least, at most, or about 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, or 20 days after co-culture of the NK cells with antigen-presenting cells. In some embodiments, retroviral transduction comprises co-transduction of one or more constructs. In some embodiments, retroviral transduction occurs at or about day 5 after co-culture with antigen-presenting cells. In some embodiments, co-culture with antigen-presenting cells continues after transduction of the NK cells. Expansion may be for about 2 to 30 days, such as 3 to 20 days, particularly 12 to 16 days, such as 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, or 19 days, particularly about 14 days. The pre-activated NK cells and aAPCs may be present in a ratio of about 3:1 to 1:3, such as 2:1, 1:1, 1:2, particularly about 1:2.The growth medium may further contain a proliferation-promoting cytokine, such as IL-2. IL-2 may be present at a concentration of about 10-500 U / mL, e.g., 100-300 U / mL, particularly about 200 U / mL. IL-2 can be replenished in the growth culture, e.g., every 2-3 days. aAPCs can be added to the culture at least a second time, e.g., on about day 7 of growth.
[0256] In certain embodiments, NK cells are transfected or transduced with one or more membrane-bound cytokines, including IL-21, IL-12, IL-18, IL-23, IL-7, or IL-15, that are secreted by the NK cells or tethered to the NK cell membrane. In such cases, the membrane-bound cytokines may be tethered to the NK cell membrane at a particular transmembrane domain, such as the transmembrane domains of CD8, CD28, CD27, B7H3, IgG1, IgG4, CD4, DAP10, or DAP12.
[0257] After preparation, the modified NK cells may be immediately infused (comprising an effective amount of one or more bispecific or multispecific antibodies), or the NK cells may be preserved, such as by cryopreservation. In some embodiments, if the NK cells are sourced from cryopreservation, the NK cells were inactivated prior to cryopreservation using an inactivating agent (e.g., a kinase inhibitor, e.g., dasatinib, nilotinib, rapamycin, etc.). In certain embodiments, the cells can be expanded ex vivo as a bulk population for days, weeks, or months within about 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 days.
[0258] C. NK cell loading In certain embodiments, NK cells are loaded with antibody prior to use. NK cells can be loaded in any particular manner, including during culture or immediately prior to infusion, to create a complex between the NK cells and the antibody. Conditions need only be sufficient to allow an effective amount of antibody to bind to the surface of the NK cells. When a monospecific antibody is used, the Fc region of the monospecific antibody binds to the NK cell, while the antigen-binding domain of the monospecific antibody is free to bind to the target antigen. In certain embodiments when a multispecific antibody is used, one or more antigen-binding domains of the antibody can bind to the surface of the NK cell, such as via an antigen on the surface of the NK cell (e.g., but not limited to, CD3, NKp30, NKp44, NKp46, CD16, CD32, CD64, KIR, etc.), while the other antigen-binding domain is free to bind to its target antigen. In certain embodiments when a multispecific antibody is used, one or more antigen-binding domains of the antibody can bind to one or more target antigens. In certain embodiments when a multispecific antibody is used, the Fc region of the antibody binds to an NK cell, while the antigen-binding domain of the antibody is free to bind to the target antigen. In certain embodiments, the surface of an NK cell may be recognized by the Fab of the antibody and / or through recognition of the Fc region of the antibody by a cognate receptor. In certain embodiments, the Fc region of the antibody may be recognized by an endogenous NK cell receptor (e.g., CD16, CD32, CD64, etc.).
[0259] The culture conditions under which NK cells are loaded may or may not be of a specific type having one or more specific parameters. In certain embodiments, loading of NK cells occurs during culture at a specific temperature, such as 37°C, while in alternative embodiments, the temperature is 36°C or 38°C, or lower or higher. The duration of the loading step may be any suitable time, such as from 1 minute to 24 hours or more. For example, the duration may be in the range of 1 minute to 24 hours, 1 minute to 18 hours, 1 minute to 12 hours, 1 minute to 6 hours, 1 minute to 1 hour, 30 minutes to 24 hours, 30 minutes to 18 hours, 30 minutes to 12 hours, 30 minutes to 6 hours, 30 minutes to 1 hour, 1 to 24 hours, 1 to 18 hours, 1 to 12 hours, 1 to 6 hours, 6 to 24 hours, 6 to 18 hours, 6 to 12 hours, 12 to 24 hours, 12 to 18 hours, or 18 to 24 hours. In some embodiments, the duration of the loading step can be about 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46, or 48 hours or more, or any range derivable therein. In certain embodiments, the cell culture medium is a basal medium or a complex medium. In some cases, the culture may or may not include one or more reagents utilized during the preactivation and / or expansion steps. In certain embodiments, the culture includes one or more cytokines, including, for example, one or more of IL-12, IL-15, IL-2, and IL-18. In some embodiments, the culture includes any type of APC.
[0260] In certain embodiments, an antibody of the compositions described herein is provided to an effective amount of an NK cell of the present disclosure, thereby producing a "chimeric antigen receptor-like" complex. In particular, the antigen-binding domain of the antibody binds to the NK cell, such as via an antigen that is a cell surface protein. Multiple antibodies may be directed at multiple NK cells, resulting in multiple cell / antibody complexes. Antibodies may be of any type, such as monospecific, bispecific, or multispecific, and in certain cases, the antibody engages both the NK cell and the target antigen via its antigen-binding domain (such as art-known engagers, which are fusion proteins consisting of two single-chain variable fragments (scFv) of different antibodies). In an example where an antibody is monospecific, the antigen-binding domain of the antibody binds to a target antigen, such as a cancer antigen, while another portion of the antibody, such as the Fc region of the antibody, binds to the NK cell. In an example where an antibody is multispecific, one or more antigen-binding domains of the antibody may bind to the NK cell (e.g., via a naturally occurring or genetically introduced NK cell surface antigen, e.g., CD3), and one or more antigen-binding domains of the antibody may bind to one or more target antigens. In certain embodiments, when a multispecific antibody is used, one or more antigen-binding domains of the antibody and / or the Fc region of the antibody may bind to NK cells. The multispecific antibody may be, for example, bispecific, trispecific, or tetraspecific. If the antibody is trispecific or tetraspecific, the additional antigen-binding domain may bind to other cells, such as stem cells.
[0261] In certain embodiments, the antibody can bind to any NK cell surface antigen (which may or may not be a receptor) on NK cells, such as CD16 (including CD16a or CD16b), CD32, CD56, CD64, c-type lectins such as NKG2D and NKG2C, costimulatory molecules such as CS1, DNAM, 2B4, and CD2, NCR, NKp30, NKp44, NKp46, or KIR, and can target NK cells and enhance their reactivity and specificity against different tumors. In certain embodiments, the antibody can bind to a transgenic NK cell surface antigen such as CD3.
[0262] In some embodiments, the antibody may bind to any suitable antigen (e.g., an antigen described herein, such as those described as targets of a CAR and / or a TCR). In certain embodiments, the antibody targets CD19. In certain embodiments, the antibody targets CD20. In certain embodiments, the antibody targets CD123. In certain embodiments, the antibody targets EGFR. In certain embodiments, the antibody targets EGFR2.
[0263] In certain embodiments, the generation of loaded NK cells can be performed by any suitable means that provides conditions sufficient for the appropriate region of the antibody to bind to the appropriate surface region of the NK cell. In some instances, a specific culture medium can be utilized. In certain cases, Plasma-Lyte A and / or human serum albumin are utilized, but not in others. Once the complex is formed in culture, it may or may not be washed prior to administration to a subject, such as by injection. In another embodiment, the NK cells and antibody are administered separately, and the complex is formed in vivo.
[0264] D. Preactivation In certain embodiments, NK cells are preactivated prior to administration to a recipient individual. The preactivation step may or may not occur before any expansion step. In specific embodiments, NK cells are preactivated with one or more cytokines, and in specific embodiments, NK cells are preactivated with one or more of IL-12, IL-15, IL-2, and IL-18, including two, three, or more. If all three of IL-12, IL-15, IL-2, and IL-18 are not utilized, the combination may be IL-12 and IL-15 but not IL-18; or IL-12 and IL-18 but not IL-15; or IL-15 and IL-18 but not IL-12. IL-2 may or may not be used in place of IL-15.
[0265] In certain embodiments, the preactivation cytokines may be IL-12, IL-15, and IL-18. One or more additional cytokines may be used in the preactivation step. Preactivation may be for a short period of time, such as 5 to 72 hours, e.g., 10 to 50 hours, particularly 10 to 20 hours, e.g., 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, or 20 hours, and may be, in some cases, approximately 16 hours. The preactivation culture may contain IL-18 and / or IL-15 at a concentration of 10 to 100 ng / mL, e.g., 40 to 60 ng / mL, particularly 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, or 55 ng / mL, particularly about 50 ng / mL. In some cases, the pre-activation culture comprises IL-12 at a concentration of 0.1 to 150 ng / mL, including a concentration of 1 to 20 ng / mL, e.g., 10 ng / mL. In alternative embodiments, NK cells may be stimulated with IL-2 or other cytokines that bind to the common gamma chain (e.g., IL-7, IL-21, and others), which may be in addition to or as a replacement for one or more of IL-12, IL-15, and IL-18. In such cases, the pre-activation culture may comprise IL-12 at a concentration of 0.1 to 150 ng / mL, e.g., 0.5 to 50 ng / mL, particularly 1 to 20 ng / mL, e.g., 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, or 15 ng / mL, particularly about 10 ng / mL.
[0266] E. proliferation In certain embodiments, NK cells are expanded to increase their quantity before administration to an individual in need thereof. The expanded cells may or may not be derived from preactivated NK cells, such that a preactivation step may occur before the expansion step. The NK cell expansion step may be any suitable step by which an NK cell population is expanded, but in certain embodiments, the expansion step utilizes one or more specific reagents, such as in culture, to enhance their expansion. In certain embodiments, the NK cells may not be expanded. IL-2, IL-15, IL-18, or any combination of these cytokines may be added to the expansion culture before or during expansion. In specific embodiments, NK cells may be expanded ex vivo in flasks or in one of several different bioreactor configurations with continuous perfusion of medium / additives.
[0267] In specific aspects, NK cells (whether pre-activated or not) may be washed (e.g., with PBS, Plasma Lyte, human serum albumin, or culture medium, or a combination thereof) before and / or after expansion, such as once, twice, three times, four times, or five times. In certain embodiments, the cells are washed specifically three times. In certain embodiments, the NK cells are expanded in the presence of artificial antigen-presenting cells (aAPCs). In certain embodiments, the NK cells are expanded in the presence of aAPC fragments. The aAPCs can be engineered to express CD137 ligand and / or membrane-bound cytokines. The membrane-bound cytokine may be membrane-bound IL-21 (mIL-21) or membrane-bound IL-15 (mIL-15). In certain embodiments, the aAPCs are engineered to express CD137 ligand and mIL-21. The aAPCs may be derived from cancer cells, such as leukemia cells. aAPCs may not express endogenous HLA class I, II, or CD1d molecules. They may express ICAM-1 (CD54) and LFA-3 (CD58) or CD48. In particular, aAPCs may be K562 cells, such as K562 cells engineered to express CD137 ligand and mIL-21. Engineering can be by methods known in the art, such as retroviral transduction, but any viral or non-viral vector can be utilized. aAPCs may or may not be irradiated. Expansion may be for a specific period of time, for example, about 2 to 30 days, for example, 3 to 20 days, particularly 12 to 16 days, for example, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, or 19 days, particularly about 14 days. The preactivated NK cells and aAPCs may be present in a ratio of about 3:1 to 1:3, for example, 2:1, 1:1, 1:2, particularly about 1:2. The expansion culture may further contain one or more cytokines to promote proliferation, such as IL-2. IL-2 may be present at a concentration of about 10-500 U / mL, e.g., 100-300 U / mL, particularly about 200 U / mL. IL-2 may be replenished in the expansion culture at regular intervals, e.g., every 2-3 days. aAPCs may be added to the culture at least a second time, e.g., on about day 7.The cytokines used in the preactivation and / or expansion steps may be recombinant human cytokines.
[0268] In certain embodiments, after expansion, the NK cells may be used immediately in any manner, such as by conjugation to one or more antibodies, or may be stored, such as by cryopreservation. In certain aspects, the cells may be expanded ex vivo as a bulk population within about 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 days for days, weeks, or months.
[0269] Activated and / or expanded NK cells secrete type I cytokines, such as interferon-γ, tumor necrosis factor-α, and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), which activate both innate and adaptive immune cells, as well as other cytokines and chemokines. Measurement of these cytokines can indicate the activation state of NK cells. Additionally, other methods known in the art for determining NK cell activation can be used to characterize the NK cells of the present disclosure.

[0277] III. Heterologous Proteins and Mutations In a specific embodiment, NK cells are engineered to express not only one or more components of the TCR / CD3 complex, but also one or more other heterologous proteins that can enhance the activity of the NK cells in any way, including at least their activation, persistence, proliferation, homing, and / or cytotoxicity.
[0278] A. Bispecific or Multispecific Antibodies In certain embodiments, the NK cells are engineered to express one or more bispecific or multispecific antibodies, while in other cases the NK cells do not express antibodies, but antibodies are utilized in conjunction with the NK cells.
[0279] In certain embodiments in which NK cells are engineered to express antibodies and / or utilized in conjunction with NK cells, the antibodies can be any antibody or antibody-like structure known in the art, including antibody fragments, single-domain antibodies, scFvs, bispecific antibodies, bispecific diabodies, trispecific antibodies, scFv-Fc, and other antibody constructs and engagers. In particular, the antibodies can be engagers that bridge specific immune effector cells with specific target cells to destroy the target cells. The present disclosure enables the use of engineered NK cells with standard T cell engagers (BiTEs) because they are often engineered to express CD3, the T cell antigen to which BiTE engagers bind. In such cases, BiTEs used in the present invention can also target cancer antigens or viral antigens tailored to the disease state of the intended recipient individual. For example, BiTEs can be tailored to bind to cancer antigens characteristic of cancer cells of the individual's cancer. The anti-CD3 antibody in the BiTE can target the CD3γ chain, CD3δ chain, CD3ε chain, or CD3ζ chain.
[0280] In some cases, in addition to expressing a CD3 complex (with or without a TCR) that allows NK cells to be used as a therapeutic with BiTEs, NK cells can be engineered to express (or not express, but instead be used in combination with) one or more bispecific NK engagers (BiKEs). BiKEs include antibodies that bind to surface proteins on NK cells, including surface proteins naturally expressed on NK cells (e.g., but not limited to, NKp30, NKp44, NKp46, CD16, CD32, CD64, KIR, etc.), and also include antibodies that bind to a desired target antigen. BiKEs can target NK cells using NK surface proteins, such as CD16, CS1, CD32, CD64, CD56, NKG2D, NKG2C, DNAM, 2B4, CD2, NCR, NKp30, NKp44, NKp46, and KIR. In such cases, BiKEs used in the present invention can also target cancer antigens or viral antigens, which can be tailored to the disease state of the intended recipient. For example, BiKE may be tailored to bind to a cancer antigen characteristic of cancer cells of an individual's cancer.
[0281] In certain embodiments, the antibody is blinatumomab. In certain embodiments, the antibody is tebentafusp. In certain embodiments, the antibody is mosunetuzumab. In certain embodiments, the antibody is teclistamab. In certain embodiments, the antibody is glofitamab. In certain embodiments, the antibody is epcolitamab. In some embodiments, the antibody is flotetuzumab. In some embodiments, the antibody is APV0436. In some embodiments, the antibody is TNB383B. In certain embodiments when a multispecific antibody is used, one or more antigen-binding domains of the antibody can bind to one or more target antigens.
[0282] In embodiments in which NK cells express a CD3 complex (with or without a TCR and / or iTCR) and one or more BiKEs, one or more vectors can be used to transfect or transduce the CD3 complex components (with or without a TCR and / or iTCR) and one or more BiKEs into the cells. In some cases, the one or more CD3 complex components (with or without a TCR and / or iTCR) and BiKEs may or may not be on the same multicistronic vector.
[0283] B. Engineered receptors In a specific embodiment, NK cells are engineered to express one or more engineered receptors.In some cases, the engineered receptor is an engineered antigen receptor that targets any kind of cancer antigen or virus antigen.Receptor can be adjusted to target desired antigen based on the disease state of intended recipient individual.
[0284] In some embodiments, the engineered antigen receptor is a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR). NK cells may be engineered to encode at least one CAR, and the CAR may be, for example, a first-generation, second-generation, third-generation, or later-generation CAR. The CAR may or may not be bispecific for two or more different antigens. The CAR may contain one or more costimulatory domains. NK cells may also be engineered to express receptors for enhancing antibody binding, such as CD16, CD32, and / or CD64 receptors. Each costimulatory domain may comprise, for example, one or more costimulatory domains from a member of the TNFR superfamily, CD28, CD137 (4-1BB), CD134 (OX40), DAP10, DAP12, CD27, CD2, CD5, ICAM-1, LFA-1 (CD11a / CD18), Lck, TNFR-I, TNFR-II, Fas, CD30, CD27, NKG2D, 2B4M, CD40, or a combination thereof. In certain embodiments, the CAR comprises CD3 zeta. In certain embodiments, the CAR lacks one or more specific costimulatory domains; for example, the CAR can lack 4-1BB and / or lack CD28.
[0285] In certain embodiments, the intracellular CAR polypeptide comprises an extracellular spacer domain, sometimes referred to as a hinge, that connects the antigen-binding domain and the transmembrane domain. The extracellular spacer domain includes, but is not limited to, an Fc fragment of an antibody or a fragment or derivative thereof, a hinge region of an antibody or a fragment or derivative thereof, a CH2 region of an antibody, a CH3 region of an antibody, an artificial spacer sequence, or a combination thereof. Examples of extracellular spacer domains include, but are not limited to, artificial spacers made from polypeptides such as CD8α hinge, CD28, and Gly3, or the CH1 and CH3 domains of IgG (such as human IgG1 or IgG4). In certain embodiments, the extracellular spacer domain can comprise (i) the hinge, CH2, and CH3 regions of IgG4, (ii) the hinge region of IgG4, (iii) the hinge and CH2 of IgG4, (iv) the hinge region of CD8α or CD4, (v) the hinge, CH2, and CH3 regions of IgG1, (vi) the hinge region of IgG1, or (vii) the hinge and CH2 of IgG1, (viii) the hinge region of CD28, or a combination thereof. In certain embodiments, the hinge is derived from IgG1, and in certain embodiments, the CAR polypeptide comprises a particular IgG1 hinge amino acid sequence or is encoded by a particular IgG1 hinge nucleic acid sequence.
[0286] The transmembrane domain of the CAR may be naturally derived or synthetic. If naturally derived, in some embodiments, a domain derived from a membrane-bound or transmembrane protein is used. Transmembrane regions include those derived from (i.e., at least the transmembrane region of) the alpha, beta, or zeta chain of the T cell receptor, CD28, CD3 zeta, CD3 epsilon, CD3 gamma, CD3 delta, CD45, CD4, CD5, CD8, CD9, CD16, CD22, CD30, CD33, CD37, CD64, CD80, CD86, CD134, CD137, CD154, ICOS / CD278, GITR / CD357, NKG2D, and DAP molecules (such as DAP10 or DAP12). Alternatively, the transmembrane domain in some embodiments is synthetic. In some embodiments, synthetic transmembrane domains primarily contain hydrophobic residues such as leucine and valine. In some embodiments, triplets of phenylalanine, tryptophan, and valine may be found on either side of the synthetic transmembrane domain.
[0287] In some embodiments, the engineered receptor utilizes one or more homing receptors (which can home to a target without necessarily releasing a signal, such as through adhesion molecule-based events) and / or one or more chemokine receptors. Examples of chemokine receptors include CXC chemokine receptors, CC chemokine receptors, CX3C chemokine receptors, and XC chemokine receptors. In certain cases, the chemokine receptor is a receptor for CCR2, CCR3, CCR5, CCR8, CCR7, CXCR3, L-selectin (CD62L), CXCR1, CXCR2, or CX3CR1.
[0288] C. Cytokines In some embodiments, NK cells are engineered to express one or more heterologous cytokines and / or to upregulate the normal expression of one or more heterologous cytokines. The cells may or may not be transduced or transfected with one or more cytokines on the same vector as other genes. In certain embodiments, NK cells may be modified to express one or more cytokines, cytokine receptors, chemokines, chemokine receptors, and / or suicide genes.
[0289] One or more cytokines can be coexpressed from vectors containing polypeptides separate from any component of the TCR / CD3 complex. For example, interleukin-15 (IL-15) is tissue-restricted and is only observed at any level in serum or systemically under pathological conditions. IL-15 possesses several desirable properties for adoptive therapy. IL-15 is a homeostatic cytokine that promotes the eradication of established tumors by inducing the development and proliferation of natural killer cells and relieving the functional suppression of tumor-resident cells, thereby inhibiting activation-induced cell death (AICD). In addition to IL-15, other cytokines are also contemplated. These include, but are not limited to, cytokines, chemokines, and other molecules that contribute to the activation and proliferation of cells used in human applications. In certain embodiments, NK cells expressing IL-15 are capable of sustained supportive cytokine signaling, which is beneficial for survival after infusion. In certain embodiments, NK cells expressing IL-21 are capable of sustained supportive cytokine signaling, which is beneficial for survival after infusion. In certain embodiments, the cytokine is expressed as part of a multicistronic construct with one or more functional and / or marker proteins.
[0290] In some embodiments, the cells express one or more exogenously provided engineered receptors, wherein the engineered receptors include a chemokine receptor and / or a cytokine receptor. In some embodiments, the cytokine receptor is an IL-15 receptor. In some embodiments, the cytokine receptor is a non-naturally occurring variant of a cytokine receptor. In some embodiments, the cytokine receptor is an IL-15, IL-12, IL-2, IL-18, IL-21, IL-23, or GMCSF receptor, or a combination thereof.
[0291] In specific embodiments, the cells express one or more exogenously supplied cytokines. By way of example, the cytokines are IL-15, IL-12, IL-2, IL-18, IL-21, IL-23, GMCSF, or a combination thereof. Cytokines may be exogenously supplied to NK cells by being expressed from an expression vector within the cells. Alternatively, endogenous cytokines within cells are upregulated by manipulating the expression control of the endogenous cytokine, such as by genetic modification of the cytokine's promoter site. When cytokines are provided to cells on an expression construct, they may be encoded from the same vector as one or more components of the CD3 complex, with or without the TCR complex. In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to the co-use of IL-15 with a CAR and, optionally, a suicide gene.
[0292] In some embodiments, a specific sequence of IL-15 is utilized, such as the one shown below (underlined indicates signal peptide sequence): ATGCGCATTAGCAAGCCCCACCTGCGGAGCATCAGCATCCAGTGCTACCTGTGCCTGCTGCTGAACAGCCACTTCCTGACCGAGGCC GGCATCCACGTGTTCATCCTGGGCTGCTTCAGCGCCGGACTGCCCAAGACCGAGGCCAACTGGGTGAACGTGATCAGCGACCTGAAGAAGATCGAGGACCTGATCCAGAGCATGCACATCGACGCCACCCTGTACACCGAGAGCGACGGTGCACCCCAGCTGCAAGGTGACCGCCATGAAGTGCTTTCTGCTGGAACTGCAGGT GATCAGCCTGGAAAGCGGCGACGCCAGCATCCACGACACCGTGGAGAACCTGATCATCCTGGCCAACAACAGCCTGAGCAGCAACGGCAACGTGACCGAGAGCGGCTGCAAAGAGTGCGAGGAACTGGAAGAGAAGAACATCAAAGAGTTTCTGCAGAGCTTCGTGCACATCGTGCAGATGTTCATCAACACCAGC (SEQ ID NO: 49) MRISKPHLRSISIQCYLCLLLNSHFLTEA GIHVFILGCFSAGLPKTEANWVNVISDLKKIEDLIQSMHIDATLYTESDVHPSCKVTAMKCFLLELQVISLESGDASIHDTVENLIILANNSLSSNGNVTESGCKECEELEEKNIKEFLQSFVHIVQMFINTS (SEQ ID NO: 48)
[0293] D. Antigen The modified NK cells of the present disclosure are used in conjunction with bispecific or multispecific antibodies that target one or more specific antigens. Additionally, NK cells may be modified with artificial antigen receptors that target one or more specific antigens. When NK cells are modified with one or more engineered antigen receptors, the antigens targeted by the bispecific or multispecific antibodies and the antigens targeted by the one or more engineered antigen receptors may or may not be the same antigens. In some cases, the antigens targeted by the bispecific or multispecific antibodies and the antigens targeted by the one or more engineered antigen receptors are different antigens but are associated with the same type of cancer.
[0294] Some antigens targeted by antibodies and / or engineered antigen receptors are expressed in the context of the disease, condition, or cell type targeted via adoptive cell therapy. Among the diseases and conditions are proliferative, neoplastic, and malignant diseases and disorders, including hematologic cancers, lymphomas, leukemias, and / or cancers of the immune system, such as B, T, and myeloid leukemias, lymphomas, and myelomas, such as multiple myeloma. In some embodiments, the antigen is selectively expressed or overexpressed on cells of the disease or condition, e.g., tumor or pathogenic cells, compared to normal or non-target cells or tissues. In other embodiments, the antigen is expressed on normal cells and / or on engineered cells.

These non-limiting examples of tumor antigens are expressed in a wide range of tumor types, such as melanoma, lung cancer, sarcoma, and bladder cancer. See, for example, U.S. Patent No. 6,544,518. Prostate cancer tumor-associated antigens include, for example, prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), prostate-specific antigen (PSA), prostatic acid phosphate, NKX3.1, and six-stage membrane epithelial antigen of the prostate (STEAP).
[0297] Other tumor-associated antigens include Plu-1, HASH-1, HasH-2, Cripto, Criptin, etc. Furthermore, tumor antigens can be self-peptide hormones, such as gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH), a short peptide with a total length of 10 amino acids, which is useful in the treatment of many cancers.

[0299] E. Suicide gene In certain embodiments, suicide genes are utilized with NK cell therapy to control its use and allow for termination of cell therapy at a desired event and / or time. Suicide genes are employed in transduced cells to induce their death when necessary. Cells of the present disclosure that have been modified to carry one or more vectors encompassed by the present disclosure may contain one or more suicide genes. In some embodiments, the term "suicide gene" as used herein is defined as a gene that, upon administration of a prodrug or other agent, results in the transfer of the gene product to a compound that kills the host cell. In other embodiments, the suicide gene encodes a gene product that is optionally targeted by an agent (such as an antibody) that targets the suicide gene product.
[0300] In some cases, cell therapy may be subject to the use of one or more suicide genes of any type when an individual undergoing and / or receiving cell therapy is considered to be at risk of developing or imminently developing one or more symptoms of one or more adverse events, such as cytokine release syndrome, neurotoxicity, anaphylaxis / allergy, and / or on-target / off-tumor toxicity (for example). The use of a suicide gene may be part of a planned protocol for treatment, or may be used only if its use is deemed necessary. In some cases, cell therapy may be terminated using an agent targeting the suicide gene or its gene product because treatment is no longer necessary.
[0301] The use of suicide genes can be initiated upon the onset of at least one adverse event in an individual, which can be recognized by any means, including periodic monitoring, which may or may not be continuous from the start of cell therapy. Adverse events can be detected by examinations and / or tests. If an individual develops cytokine release syndrome (sometimes referred to as cytokine storm), the individual may experience elevated levels of inflammatory cytokine(s) (by way of example only: interferon-γ, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, IL-10, IL-6, and TNF-α), fever, fatigue, hypotension, hypoxia, tachycardia, nausea, capillary leak, cardiac / renal / liver dysfunction, or a combination thereof. If an individual experiences neurotoxicity, the individual may experience confusion, delirium, aplasia, and / or seizures. In some cases, the individual is tested for markers associated with the onset and / or severity of cytokine release syndrome, such as C-reactive protein, IL-6, TNF-α, and / or ferritin.
[0302] Examples of suicide genes include engineered non-secreted (including membrane-bound) tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α mutant polypeptides (see PCT / US19 / 62009, incorporated herein by reference in its entirety), which may be affected by delivery of antibodies that bind to TNF-α mutants. Examples of suicide gene / prodrug combinations that may be used include herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase (HSV-tk) and ganciclovir, acyclovir, or FIAU; oxidoreductase and cycloheximide; cytosine deaminase and 5-fluorocytosine; thymidine kinase-thymidylate kinase (Tdk::Tmk) and AZT; and deoxycytidine kinase and cytosine arabinoside. Escherichia coli purine nucleoside phosphorylase, a so-called suicide gene that converts the prodrug 6-methylpurine deoxyriboside to the toxic purine 6-methylpurine, may also be used. Other examples of suicide genes include CD20, CD52, inducible caspase 9, purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP), cytochrome p450 enzymes (CYP), carboxypeptidase (CP), carboxylesterase (CE), nitroreductase (NTR), guanine ribosyltransferase (XGRTP), glycosidase enzymes, methionine-α,γ-lyase (MET), and thymidine phosphorylase (TP).
[0303] F. Endogenous gene knockout or knockdown In certain embodiments, the NK cells of the present disclosure can include gene editing of the NK cells to remove one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, or more endogenous genes in the NK cells. In some cases, the gene editing is performed in NK cells that express one or more heterologous transgenes (e.g., CD3, TCR, etc.), while in other cases, the gene editing is performed in at least some NK cells that do not express the heterologous transgenes, but that will eventually express one or more heterologous transgenes. In certain embodiments, the NK cells that are gene-edited are expanded NK cells.
[0304] In certain embodiments, one or more endogenous genes of NK cells are modified, such as expression disruption, which reduces part or all of the expression.In certain cases, one or more genes are knocked down or knocked out using the process of the present disclosure.In certain cases, multiple genes are knocked down or knocked out in the same process of the present disclosure.The gene that is edited in NK cells can be any, but in a specific embodiment, the gene is a gene whose gene product inhibits the activity and / or proliferation of NK cells.In certain cases, the gene that is edited in NK cells allows NK cells to work more effectively in tumor microenvironment. In a specific embodiment, the gene is one or more of NKG2A, SIGLEC-7, LAG3, TIM3, CISH, FOXO1, TGFBR2, TIGIT, CD96, ADORA2, NR3C1, PD1, PDL-1, PDL-2, CD47, SIRPA, SHIP1, ADAM17, RPS6, 4EBP1, CD25, CD40, IL21R, ICAM1, CD95, CD80, CD86, IL10R, TDAG8, CD5, CD7, SLAMF7, CD38, LAG3, TCR, β2-microglobulin, HLA, CD73, CREB, CREM, ICER, and CD39. In a specific embodiment, the TGFBR2 gene is knocked out or down in NK cells. In a specific embodiment, the CISH gene is knocked out or down in NK cells. In a specific embodiment, the CD38 gene is knocked out or knocked down in NK cells.
[0305] In some embodiments, gene editing is carried out using one or more DNA-binding nucleic acids, such as modification via RNA-guided endonuclease (RGEN).For example, modification can be carried out using clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR-associated (Cas) proteins.Generally, "CRISPR system" refers collectively to the transcripts and other elements involved in directing the expression or activity of CRISPR-associated ("Cas") genes, including the sequence encoding the Cas gene, tracr (trans-activating CRISPR) sequence (e.g., tracrRNA or active part tracrRNA), tracr-mate sequence (including "direct repeat" and tracrRNA processing part direct repeat in the context of endogenous CRISPR system), guide sequence (also referred to as "spacer" in the context of endogenous CRISPR system), and / or other sequences and transcripts from the CRISPR locus.Methods for utilizing CRISPR systems are well known in the art.
[0306] IV. Administration of Therapeutic Compositions The CD3-expressing NK cells and the bispecific or multispecific antibody are administered to an individual in need thereof, including in a manner that brings them into close proximity so that the anti-CD3 antibody of the bispecific or multispecific antibody can bind to CD3 on the CD3-expressing NK cells. In some embodiments, the two components are administered separately to the individual, while in other embodiments, the two components are complexed prior to administration, such as by ex vivo methods. In another embodiment, the NK cells express the antibody. In some cases, the two components are not pre-complexed prior to administration, but are co-administered by any suitable route, such as by co-infusion into the patient.
[0307] Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods of using compositions comprising NK cells and antibodies provided herein to treat or prevent a medical disease or disorder. The methods include administering therapeutically effective amounts of CD3 (±TCR)-modified NK cells and antibodies to a subject, thereby treating or preventing disease in the subject, including reducing the risk of disease, reducing the severity of disease, and / or delaying the onset of disease. In certain embodiments of the present disclosure, cancer or infectious disease is treated by transfer of a composition comprising a population of NK cells and a corresponding antibody. In at least some cases, NK cells, due to their release of proinflammatory cytokines, may augment the adaptive immune response by reversing an anti-inflammatory tumor microenvironment and promoting the differentiation, activation, and / or recruitment of accessory immune cells to malignant tumor sites. In certain embodiments, the providing step may include culturing the NK cells with the antibody molecule for a specified time (e.g., from about 5 minutes to about 24 hours or more) and storing the NK cells and antibody molecule for a period of time (e.g., about 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or more than 5 days) prior to infusion / administration.

[0312] Therapeutic agents may include various "unit doses." A unit dose is defined as containing a predetermined amount of a therapeutic composition. The amount to be administered, as well as the specific route and formulation, are within the discretion of those skilled in the art. A unit dose need not be administered as a single injection, but may include continuous infusion over a period of time. In some embodiments, a unit dose includes a single administrable dose.
[0313] The dosage depends on the desired therapeutic effect, both in the number of treatments and the unit dose.It is understood that an effective amount refers to the amount required to achieve a specific effect.In practice, it is contemplated that in certain embodiments, a dosage in the range of 10 mg / kg to 200 mg / kg can affect the protective capacity of these agents. Thus, dosages include about 0.1, 0.5, 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 100, 105, 110, 115, 120, 125, 130, 135, 140, 145, 150, 155, 160, 165, 170, 175, 180, 185, 190, 195, and 200, 300, 400, 500, 1000 μg / kg, mg / kg, μg / day, or mg / day, or any range derivable therein. Furthermore, such dosages can be administered multiple times during the day and / or on multiple days, weeks, or months.
[0314] In certain embodiments, an effective amount of the pharmaceutical composition is one that can provide a blood level of about 1 μM to 150 μM. In other embodiments, an effective amount provides a blood level of about 4 μM to 100 μM; or about 1 μM to 100 μM; or about 1 μM to 50 μM; or about 1 μM to 40 μM; or about 1 μM to 30 μM; or about 1 μM to 20 μM; or about 1 μM to 10 μM; or about 10 μM to 150 μM; or about 10 μM to 100 μM; or about 10 μM to 50 μM; or about 25 μM to 150 μM; or about 25 μM to 100 μM; or about 25 μM to 50 μM; or about 50 μM to 150 μM; or about 50 μM to 100 μM (or any range derivable therein). In other embodiments, the dose is about, at least, or at most about 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 119, 120, 12 The blood concentration may be 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, or 100 μM, or any range derivable therein. In certain embodiments, a therapeutic agent administered to a subject is metabolized in the body to become a metabolic therapeutic agent, in which case blood concentration can refer to the amount of that therapeutic agent. Alternatively, to the extent that a therapeutic agent is not metabolized by the subject, blood concentrations discussed herein can refer to the unmetabolized therapeutic agent.
[0315] Precise amounts of the therapeutic composition also depend on the judgment of the practitioner and are peculiar to each individual. Factors affecting the dosage include the physical and clinical condition of the patient, the route of administration, the intended therapeutic goal (palliation of symptoms versus cure), and the efficacy, stability, and toxicity of the particular therapeutic agent or other therapy the subject may be undergoing.
[0316] Those skilled in the art will understand and appreciate that dosage units of μg / kg or mg / kg of body weight can be converted and expressed in equivalent concentration units of μg / ml or mM (blood concentration), such as 4 μM to 100 μM. It is also understood that uptake is species- and organ-tissue-dependent. Conversion factors and physiological assumptions applicable to uptake and concentration measurements are well known, and those skilled in the art will be able to convert one concentration measurement to another and make reasonable comparisons and conclusions regarding the doses, efficacies, and results described herein.

[0320] Example 1 Preparation and effective utilization of CD3-expressing NK cells This example relates to cancer immunotherapeutics as a strategy to redirect the specificity of NK cells toward one or more target antigens by "arming" or pre-conjugating them with bispecific or multispecific antibodies, for example, prior to infusion or by separately co-injecting the two products. NK cells can be transduced with one or more CD3 chains, including CD3ζ, CD3γ, CD3δ, and CD3ε chains, and can be from any source. The cells may or may not be expanded, can be pre-activated with one or more proinflammatory cytokines, such as IL-12 / 15 / 18, and / or can be genetically modified to express one or more heterologous proteins, including, for example, engineered antigen receptors, such as chimeric antigen receptors or TCRs, and / or cytokine genes and / or homokine / chemokine receptors.
[0321] 1A and 1B show different embodiments of NK cells engineered to be utilized with bispecific or multispecific antibodies. As shown in FIG. 1A, in first-generation NK cells, the cells are engineered to express CD3, which can be activated with bispecific or multispecific antibodies, including bispecific T cell engagers (BiTEs) comprising anti-CD3 antibodies that bind to heterologous CD3 expressed on the surface of the NK cells. In another embodiment, the CD3-expressing NK cells can be engaged by BiTEs comprising anti-CD3 antibodies, and the NK cells also express one or more specific cytokines (e.g., IL-15 and / or IL-21), resulting in increased efficacy and potency that is particularly useful for treating solid tumors. In another embodiment, NK cells are engineered to express only CD3 so that they can be activated by a BiTE comprising an anti-CD3 antibody, but are also utilized in conjunction with a bispecific or multispecific antibody (e.g., a bispecific NK cell engager, or BiKE) comprising an antibody that binds to a surface antigen naturally present on NK cells, such as CD16, CS1, CD32, CD64, CD56, NKG2D, NKG2C, DNAM, 2B4, CD2, NCR, NKp30, NKp44, NKp46, or KIR. In this way, the NK cells respond to both the NK engager and the T cell engager. In another embodiment, the NK cells express an engineered antigen receptor, such as a CAR or engineered TCR, in addition to expressing CD3 to engage the T cell engager.
[0322] Figure 1B shows a different embodiment in which NK cells have been engineered to express both CD3 and TCR. On the right, a T cell TCR is shown with an α chain and a β chain containing the antigen-binding site, and the TCR signaling occurs in a complex with CD3ζ. The T cell TCR is co-complexed with two CD3ε chains, a CD3δ chain, and a CD3γ chain. In some embodiments, NK cells express a TCR in which one or more of the cytoplasmic domains of any of the CD3 molecules are heterologous intracellular domains, such as those derived from CD16, NKG2D, DAP10, DAP12, NCR, and DNAM-1. As shown on the left side of Figure 1B, NK cells are engineered to express a CD3 co-receptor component; in one example, the CD3 component is CD3ε. In such cases, standard BiTEs (top left, including an antibody against a tumor antigen and an antibody against CD3) typically utilized with T cells that naturally express CD3 can be utilized with CD3-expressing NK cells. In this particular example, the NK cell expresses a polypeptide comprising the extracellular domain of CD3ε (although the extracellular domains of other CD3 components may also be utilized), which is linked to the transmembrane and / or cytoplasmic domain of another molecule, such as, for example, the transmembrane and / or cytoplasmic domain of CD3ζ, CD16, NKG2D, DAP10, DAP12, NCR, or DNAM-1.
[0323] As described above, Figure 1C illustrates the generation of a surface-expressible single chimeric CD3 construct that can be used in combination with an anti-CD3 BiTE. In one example, the CD3 epsilon extracellular domain (ECD) is fused to the CD28, CD16, or NKG2D transmembrane domain (TM), with or without the CD3 zeta and / or DAP10 intracellular domain, and the CD28, CD16, or NKG2D intracellular domain (ICD). In one example, the construct is packaged within a Moloney murine virus-derived SFG retroviral vector backbone, which can be used with a packaging plasmid for virus production. When a CD3-BiTE is used with such a construct in Figure 1C, the antibody will bind to the extracellular domain ε of CD3.
[0324] Embodiments of the present disclosure utilize part or all of the CD3 receptor complex. As shown in Figures 2A and 2B, NK cells may be transfected or transduced with full-length CD3 zeta, CD3 gamma, CD3 delta, and CD3 epsilon. In such cases, the full-length CD3 zeta, CD3 gamma, CD3 delta, and CD3 epsilon each comprise the extracellular, transmembrane, and intracellular domains. When different receptor components are expressed from the same vector, they may be configured to be produced as separate polypeptides, for example, by using an IRES or 2A element. In any event, any expression construct may be configured to express one or more cytokines, including at least IL-15.
[0325] Figure 4 shows CD3 expression on NK cells 4 days after CMV TCR complex transduction. This figure is a FACS plot showing CD3 expression on NK cells 4 days after CMV TCR complex transduction. Non-transduced (NT) NK cells (CD56+ CD3-) served as a negative control, and T cells (CD3+ CD56-) served as a positive control.
[0326] Figure 5 shows TCR expression on NK cells 4 days after transduction of NK with the CMV TCR complex. In particular, a FACS plot showing TCRa / b expression on NK cells 4 days after transduction of the CMV TCR complex is provided. Non-transduced (NT) NK cells (CD56+ CD3- TCRa / b-) served as a negative control, and T cells (CD3+ TCRa / b+ CD56-) served as a positive control.
[0327] Figure 6 shows TCR / CD3 expression in NK cells 6 days after CMV TCR complex transduction. Specifically, the FACS plot shows dual expression of CD3 and TCRa / b in NK cells 6 days after CMV TCR complex transduction. Non-transduced (NT) NK cells (CD56+ CD3- TCRa / b-) served as a negative control, and T cells (CD3+ TCRa / b+ CD56-) served as a positive control.
[0328] Figure 7 shows the CD3 / TCR-mediated binding of CD3-CD19 BiTE to NK cells at different concentrations. Specifically, various cells (non-transduced (NT) NK cells, T cells, or three different NK-TCR cells) were incubated with the CD3-CD19 bispecific engager (BiTE), blinatumomab, at two different concentrations (0.5 μg / μl or 4 μg / μl) for 1 hour at 37°C. Subsequently, biotin-labeled CD19 antigen (CD19 CAR Detection Reagent from Miltenyi Biotech) was added. TM ) for 20 minutes, followed by the addition of anti-biotin antibody for 15 minutes at room temperature. This strategy was used to detect BiTe bound to CD3+ cells. The histogram in Figure 7 shows the level of CD19 binding to the CD3-CD19 bispecific engager (BiTe) correlating with CD3 expression on NK-TCR and T cells.
[0329] Figure 8 shows NK-TCR cytokine production after stimulation with plate-bound CD3 antibodies. Specifically, 20 μg / ml of the CD3-OKT3 clone was incubated overnight at 4°C in a flat-bottom 96-well plate to form plate-bound antigens. The following day, T cells or NK cells (NT or TCR-transduced) were added to the wells for 4 hours, followed by the addition of Brefeldin A (which inhibits cytokine release and traps them in the cytoplasm for detection by intracellular cytokine staining). Surface and intracellular staining was then performed to assess cytokine production and degranulation (TNFα and CD107a). The FACS plot in Figure 8 shows a TNFα and CD107a double-positive population in TCR-transduced NK cells. Nontransduced (NT) NK cells (CD56+ CD3-) served as a negative control, and T cells (CD3+ CD56-) served as a positive control.
[0330] Figure 9 shows the phosphorylation of CD3ζ in NK TCR / CD3 cells after crosslinking CD3. The various cells tested included non-transduced (NT) NK cells; non-transduced (NT) T cells; or three different CD3-TCR-transduced NK cells (where CD1, CD2, or CD3 represent different donors). Each NK cell population was transduced with CD3ZFLGDEFL15 (see Figures 2A and 2B). NK cells were cloned into the CD3 OKT3 clone (Miltenyi Biotech). TM The cells were incubated with CD3ζ (130-093-387) at 20 μg / ml for 20 minutes on ice. The cells were then crosslinked with Fab2 IgG1 antibody at various time points and stained to confirm CD3z phosphorylation. This analysis of CD3ζ is useful because it acts as an internalization signal from the surface, allowing crosslinking with CD3 monoclonal antibodies only if the NK cells express it. NK cells lacking CD3 transfection do not exhibit phosphorylation or activation after stimulation.
[0331] CD3-TCR-transduced NK cells also expanded upon stimulation with CD3 OKT3 and, like T cells, displayed basal levels of tonic signaling, whereas untransduced NK cells did not exhibit CD3ζ phosphorylation either basally or upon CD3 OKT3 stimulation.
[0332] Figure 10 shows that pre-incubation of CD3-CD19 BiTEs with TCR / CD3-expressing NK cells increased their killing activity against Raji cells. NK cells were transduced with CD3-TCR#1 (CD3ZFLGDEFL15 (see Figures 2A and 2B)) or CD3-TCR#2 (Z2, also known as CD3ZGDEFL8SP21CD8, which contains full-length CD3ζ, CD3γ, CD3δ, and CD3ε linked to membrane-bound IL21 (with the CD8 transmembrane domain for membrane-bound IL21). NK cells transduced with the CD3 / TCR constructs or untransduced NK cells were loaded with blinatumumab, incubated for 1 hour, and then washed with PBS. They were then co-cultured with CD19+ B-cell lymphoma cells at different effector:target cell ratios (1:1 ratio in Figure 10A and 1:5 ratio in Figure 10B) for various time points. As used herein, effector cells are CD3-TCR NK cells and target cells are Raji cells. CD3-TCR transduced NK cells loaded with blinatumomab showed enhanced antitumor activity at all E:T ratios compared to untransduced NK cells loaded with blinatumomab or CD3 / TCR transduced NK cells not loaded with blinatumomab.
[0333] Example 2 NY-ESO TCR on NK cells This example describes the generation and use of the NY-ESO TCR in NK cells. Figure 11 shows an example of cell production. This schematic illustrates an example in which NK cells are first transduced with a uTNK15 construct incorporating signaling domains from the CD3 complex, NK costimulatory molecules, and IL-15, followed by a second transduction step to introduce TCR molecules, resulting in NK cells co-expressing CD3 and NK signaling molecules, IL-15, and the TCR complex. In one embodiment, NK cells were derived from umbilical cord blood and expanded in complete medium using irradiated (100 Gy) universal antigen-presenting cell (uAPC) feeder cells (feeder cell:NK ratio 2:1) and recombinant human IL-2 (200 U / ml). To generate universal T cell-like NK cells capable of secreting IL-15 (uTNK15 cells), NK cells were purified and transduced 4 days after isolation with a retroviral construct containing the CD3 complex carrying NK costimulatory molecules and IL-15 genes. Forty-eight hours after the initial transduction, NK cells expressing uTNK15 were transduced with a TCR targeting the antigen of choice.
[0334] Figure 12 shows the expression of NY-ESO TCR on uTNK15-transduced NK cells. NK cells were derived from umbilical cord blood and expanded in complete medium using irradiated (100 Gy) universal antigen-presenting cell (uAPC) feeder cells (feeder cell:NK ratio 2:1) and recombinant human IL-2 (200 U / ml). To generate universal T cell-like NK cells capable of secreting IL-15, NK cells were purified and transduced 4 days after isolation with a retroviral construct containing a CD3 complex carrying NK costimulatory molecules and the IL-15 gene. Forty-eight hours after the initial transduction, uTNK15 cells were transduced with a TCR complex targeting the selected antigen. Forty-eight hours later, flow cytometry was used to evaluate the expression of CD3 and NY-ESO TCR on various uTNK15 constructs. Non-transduced (NT) NK cells served as a negative control. CD3 and NY-ESO TCR were highly expressed on all uTNK15 cells compared to NT NK cells. The number of tumor-specific TCR molecules expressed on TCR-engineered NK cells with various TCR constructs is shown in Figure 13, NT NK cells were used as a negative control.
[0335] Figure 14 shows NY-ESO TCR expression in untransduced and transduced T cells. T cells were isolated from umbilical cord blood (from the same donor as the NK cells to serve as a paired positive control) and activated with CD3 / CD28 microbeads at a concentration of 25 μl / million in RPMI complete medium for 48 hours. T cells were then transduced with a retroviral construct containing the NY-ESO TCR. Forty-eight hours after transduction, flow cytometry revealed that the NY-ESO TCR was highly expressed on transduced T cells compared to untransduced T cells.
[0336] NY-ESO TCR-transduced NK cells kill target cells pulsed with NY-ESO peptide in a dose-dependent manner (Figure 15). To measure the killing ability of TCR-engineered NK cells and T cells against LCL cells loaded with different concentrations of NY-ESO peptide for 2 hours, chromosome-modified NK cells and T cells were used on day 7 after TCR transduction. 51We performed a CR killing assay. NY-ESO TCR-transduced uTNK15 cells showed enhanced killing of peptide-pulsed LCL cells compared to untransduced NK cells. NY-ESO TCR-transduced T cells also showed enhanced killing of peptide-pulsed LCL cells compared to untransduced T cells.
[0337] Figure 16 shows that NY-ESO is endogenously expressed in myeloma, sarcoma, and melanoma cell lines. NY-ESO expression was measured in U266 (myeloma), Saos-2 (sarcoma), and A375 (melanoma) cell lines using flow cytometry. U266, Saos-2, and A375 cell lines showed higher levels of NY-ESO expression than the negative control Raji cell line.
[0338] NY-ESO TCR-transduced T cells kill NY-ESO-expressing tumor targets at higher E:T ratios (Figure 17). 51 CR killing assays were performed 7 days after TCR transfer to determine the killing ability of NY-ESO TCR-transduced T cells against NY-ESO-expressing myeloma, osteosarcoma, and melanoma lines. NY-ESO TCR-transduced T cells exhibited enhanced killing ability against NY-ESO-positive cell lines compared with untransduced T cells.
[0339] Figure 18 shows that NK cells transduced with the NY-ESO TCR kill tumor targets expressing NY-ESO even at low E:T ratios. 51 CR killing assays were performed 7 days after TCR transduction to determine the killing ability of NY-ESO TCR-engineered NK cells against NY-ESO-expressing myeloma, osteosarcoma, and melanoma cell lines. NY-ESO TCR-transduced NK cells exhibited enhanced killing of NY-ESO-positive cell lines, even at very low effector:target ratios, compared with untransduced NK cells.
[0340] Figure 19 shows that NY-ESO-transduced NK cells have a similar phenotype to NT NK cells. CytoF imaging revealed that untransduced NK cells and NY-ESO TCR-transduced uTNK15 cells share a similar phenotype. Figure 19A shows a u-map plot with similar clusters, and Figure 19B shows a heatmap with similar expression of various markers in NT cells and NY-ESO TCR-transduced uTNK15 cells.
[0341] Figure 20 provides a table depicting the percentage of CD3+ and CD3+TCR+ NK cells in each uTNK15 product. Flow cytometry was used to assess the composition of single-positive CD3 NK cells (CD3+) and double-positive CD3 / TCR NK cells (CD3+TCR+). Untransduced NK cells consist of less than 1% CD3+ and CD3+TCR+ NK cells, whereas TCR-transduced uTNK15 cell products consist of more than 60% CD3+ and more than 25% CD3+TCR+ NK cells.
[0342] Figure 21A provides a FACS plot showing successful CD3 expression on NK cells 4 days after transduction with TCR constant alpha-beta (TCRCab; TCR6 construct). Non-transduced (NT) NK cells (CD56+ CD3-) serve as a negative control. In Figure 21B, NT NK cells and uTNK15 NK cells were incubated with the CD3-CD19 bispecific engager (BiTe), blinatumumab, at 10 μg / μl for 1 hour at 37°C. Next, biotin-labeled CD19 antigen (CD19 CAR detection reagent from Miltenyi) was added for 20 minutes, followed by the addition of an anti-biotin antibody for 15 minutes at room temperature. This strategy was used to detect any BiTe that engaged with CD3+ cells. The histogram in this figure shows the level of CD19 binding to the CD3-CD19 bispecific engager (BiTe), which correlates with CD3 expression on uTNK15 NK cells. In Figure 21C, CD3 / TCR-transduced or non-transduced NK cells were loaded with blinatumumab, incubated for 1 hour, and washed with PBS. They were then co-cultured with LCL cells at different E:T ratios (A. 1:1, B. 1:5) for various time points. CD3-TCR-transduced NK cells loaded with blinatumumab showed enhanced antitumor activity compared with non-transduced NK cells or CD3 / TCR-transduced NK cells loaded with blinatumumab, but not with blinatumumab, at any E:T ratio.
[0343] Example 3 NY-ESO TCR on CD3-expressing NK cells in vivo As shown in Figures 22A-22C, NK cells containing the constructs described herein were tested in vivo and found to potently inhibit tumor growth. Figure 22A shows a schematic of the experimental procedure performed. Briefly, NSG mice were irradiated with 300 cGy on day -1, and then on day 0, individual mice were injected with 0.5 x 10 NK cells transduced with FireFlyluciferase (FFluc). 6Mice were injected with 5 x 10 U266-B1 cells (a myeloma cell line expressing both HLA-A2 and NY-ESO antigens) via the tail vein, and on day 3, mice received 5 x 10 6 effector cells (NY-ESO TCR NK cells carrying the UT-NK15-NY ESO TCR construct, designated WT, #A, or #B, respectively; WT refers to wild-type CD3 molecules with IL-15; #A refers to CD3-CD28 with IL-15 (e.g., UT-NK15-28); and #B refers to CD3-DAP10 with IL-15 (e.g., UT-NK15-DAP10); or NY-ESO TCR T cells), and animals were then monitored over time and sacrificed as needed (N=5 mice / group). Figure 22B shows the results of monitoring the experiment described in Figure 22A as a function of bioluminescence imaging over time (representative images from days 1, 7, 14, and 21, respectively, are shown). Figure 22C is a graphical quantification of the bioluminescence mean radiance shown in Figure 22B, with the Y-axis representing mean radiance in p / s / cm. 2 / sr, and the X axis represents time.
[0344] As shown in Figures 23A-B, the in vitro activity of effector cells (e.g., NK cells or T cells) containing the NY-ESO-targeting TCR and the UT-NK15 construct was tested. Figure 22A shows images of spheroids formed by the osteosarcoma tumor cell line Saos-2, which were used to test the cytotoxic activity of NK cells and T cells expressing the NY-ESO1-specific TCR. Saos-2 cells were stably transduced to express GFP, and 10,000 of these cells were seeded overnight in a 96-well plate. Then, 40,000 NK cells or T cells were added. Images of the co-culture were scanned over time and analyzed using an IncuCyte® cell analysis system. Figure 22B shows a graph depicting the percentage of effector cell cytotoxicity (Y axis) captured from representative images after 3 days of co-culture. NK cells were co-transduced with the NY-ESO-TCR and the UT-NK15 signaling complex co-expressing a different costimulatory molecule (e.g., UTNK-15-28 or UTNK-15-DAP10) fused to the CD3ζ signaling chain. T cells were transduced with the NY-ESO TCR alone. Abbreviations in the graph are as follows: 28 = CD3ζ fused to the CD28 costimulatory domain; 10 = CD3ζ fused to the Dap10 costimulatory domain; 8 = CD8 alpha / beta co-receptor as part of the NY-ESO TCR construct; and wo IL-15 = construct containing only CD3 zeta, epsilon, gamma, and delta without costimulation or IL-15. The best in vitro cytotoxicity was observed with TCR NK cells expressing UTNK15 with CD28 or the DAP10 costimulatory domain fused to CD3ζ (e.g., UTNK-15-28, or UTNK-15-DAP10; SEQ ID NO: 121 and SEQ ID NO: 119, respectively) when compared with NK cells transduced with the CD3 complex alone or UT-NK15 without the costimulatory domain. Addition of CD8 alpha / beta co-receptors to the TCR did not significantly improve the cytotoxicity of NK or T cells.
[0345] As shown in Figures 24A-D, the in vivo activity of effector cells (e.g., NK cells or T cells) containing NY-ESO-targeting TCRs and UT-NK15 constructs was tested. Figure 24A shows the in vivo study design for testing the activity of NK cells and T cells transduced with different NY-ESO TCRs. Ten-week-old NSG mice were irradiated (300 cGy) and injected the following day with 500,000 U266 cells (an HLA-A2-positive, NY-ESO-expressing myeloma cell line) via the tail vein. Three days later, the mice received 5 million TCR-transduced T cells or TCR-transduced NK cells. The mice were then monitored for tumor control by BLI imaging. Figure 24B shows the BLI imaging results of the study outlined and performed according to Figure 24A. Mice were injected with U266 tumor cells alone, T cells transduced with NY-ESO-specific TCR, or NK cells co-transduced with NY-ESO TCR and UT-NK15, bearing CD3ζ fused to CD28 (labeled as NY-ESO NK UT-NK15 CD28 or NY-ESO TCR UTNK-15 CD28 NK cells). Figure 24C shows quantification of the...
