AI Technical Summary
The production of donor-derived or autologous Tr1 cells for large-scale treatment of patients with high unmet medical needs is laborious and does not allow for the generation of large amounts of pure Tr1 cells, leading to qualitative and quantitative differences between various individual batches due to donor variations.
A multi-donor CD4+ T cell therapy is developed, where T cells from at least three different donors are genetically modified to express IL-10, eliminating the need for autologous specificity and ensuring comparable cytokine production and immunosuppressive potential, thereby preventing xenogeneic GvHD without inducing GvHD.
The multi-donor CD4+ IL-10 T cells are effective in preventing T cell-mediated xenogeneic GvHD and can be used for therapeutic purposes in GvHD, cell and organ transplantation, autoimmune, and inflammatory diseases, making Tr1-based cell therapy available to a larger patient population.

[0001] 1. CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application claims priority to PCT application PCT / US2020 / 040372, filed June 30, 2020, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
[0002] 2. Sequence Listing The present application contains a sequence listing with five sequences. [Background technology]
[0003] 3.Background Regulatory T cells belong to a small but important subset of T cells that maintain immune tolerance to self-antigens and non-pathogenic antigens, thus maintaining immune homeostasis. There are two major populations of regulatory T cells - CD4 + , Foxp3 + CD25 + T cells (Foxp3 + cells) and type 1 regulatory T (Tr1) cells. Foxp3 + Both Tr1 and Tr1 cells downregulate pathogenic T cell responses in various preclinical models of organ and islet transplantation, GvHD, and various autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.
[0004] Tr1 cells have proven effective in clinical studies: administration of cloned, antigen-specific autologous Tr1 cells to patients with active, moderate to severe Crohn's disease resulted in objective, temporary remission (Desreumaux et al., Gastroenterology. 2012;143(5):1207-1217.e2.). Furthermore, donor-derived autologous specific CD4 enriched in Tr1 cells was administered to leukemia patients after allogeneic HSCT. +Adoptive transfer of T cell populations resulted in rapid reconstitution of the immune system and protection against microbial and viral infections without severe GvHD. Responding patients achieved long-term remission and tolerance (>7 years) leading to cure (Bacchetta et al., Front Immunol. 2014;5:16).
[0005] Despite these promising results, the production of donor-derived or autologous Tr1 cells for large-scale treatment of patients with high unmet medical need is not always feasible, is very laborious, and does not allow for the generation of large amounts of pure Tr1 cells.
[0006] Recently, Locafaro et al. used a bidirectional lentiviral vector containing the human IL-10 gene to transfect purified CD4 + Transducing T cells circumvented some of these problems. IL-10 The population shared key features of naturally occurring Tr1 cells. Like Tr1 cells, single-donor CD4 IL-10 The cells produce high levels of IL-10 and express allogeneic CD4 + T cells and CD8 + These single-donor CD4 T cells down-regulate the proliferation of both normal myeloid cells (antigen-presenting cells, APCs, etc.) and myeloid leukemia cells. IL-10 The cells have been shown to be effective in reducing graft-versus-leukemia (GvHD) in a humanized xenogeneic GvHD model while retaining GvL activity. See Locafaro et al. Mol Ther. 2017;25(10):2254-2269 and WO 2016 / 146,542.
[0007] Highly purified single-donor CD4 for therapeutic use IL-10Although it is possible to produce cells, there are still significant limitations due to qualitative and quantitative differences between various individual batches, which are most likely related to inherent differences between various donors in addition to variations in the quality of the buffy coat.

Brief description of the drawings [Figure 1] FIG. 1 shows the partial structure of a bidirectional lentiviral vector for delivering human IL-10 and ΔNGFR coding sequences to CD4+ T cells from multiple donors to generate multi-donor CD4IL-10 cells. [Figure 2] FIG. 2 shows the complete and circular structure of the bidirectional lentiviral vector (hPGK.IL10.WPRE.mhCMV.ΔNGFR.SV40PA) for delivery of human IL-10 and ΔNGFR coding sequences to CD4+ T cells from multiple donors to generate multi-donor CD4IL-10 cells. [Figure 3] FIG. 3 shows an exemplary protocol for generating CD4IL-10 cells. [Figure 4A] Figure 4A shows the percentage of CD4+ΔNGFR+ cells (mean ± SD, n = 10, gray bars) and vector copy number (VCN, mean ± SD, n = 10, orange bars) in human CD4+ T cells transduced with LV-IL-10 / ΔNGFR (a bidirectional lentiviral vector encoding human IL-10 and a truncated human NGF receptor). [Figure 4B] Figure 4B shows FACS analysis of CD4 and ΔNGFR expression in human CD4 T cells from two representative donors (donor B and donor C) transduced with LV-IL-10 / ΔNGFR and purified using anti-CD271 microbeads. [Figure 5] Figure 5 shows the cytokine production profile of single-donor CD4IL-10 cells after a second (TF2) and third (TF3) restimulation. TF2 and TF3CD4IL-10 cells were left unstimulated (orange bars) or stimulated with immobilized anti-CD3 and soluble anti-CD28 mAb (gray bars) for 48 hours. Culture supernatants were collected, and levels of IL-10, IL-4, IL-5, IFN-γ, and IL-22 were measured by ELISA. All samples were tested in triplicate. Mean ± SD, n = 8 donors tested, is shown. [Figure 6] Figure 6A shows the percentage of CD4IL-10 cells expressing granzyme B (GzB) after the second stimulation (TF2) analyzed by FACS. Boxes and whiskers are shown for donors (n=7) and single donors. Figure 6B shows the % dead cells when CD4IL-10 cells (10 / well) were cocultured with K562 and ALL-CM cells (10 / well) at a 1:1 ratio for 3 days. Boxes and whiskers represent data from n=4 donors, and dots represent data from a single donor. [Figure 7A]Figures 7A and 7B show that single-donor CD4IL-10 cells can suppress the proliferation of allogeneic CD4+ T cells.

TF3CD4IL-10 cells from three donors were pooled at a 1:1:1 ratio and stimulated with immobilized anti-CD3 and soluble anti-CD28 mAb for 48 hours. Culture supernatants were collected, and levels of IL-10, IL-4, IL-5, IFN-γ, and IL-22 were measured by ELISA. Points represent the results for multi-donor CD4IL-10 cells, and gray bars represent the mean ± SD for a single donor (n=8). [Figure 10] Figure 10A shows the percentage of multi-donor CD4IL-10 cells (GzB) expressing granzyme B compared to the mean % level (+ / - SD) of granzyme B expression by single-donor CD4IL-10 cells (n=3) used to generate the pool.

[0076] These drawings depict various embodiments of the present invention for purposes of illustration only. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate from the following description that alternative embodiments of the structures and methods shown herein may be used without departing from the principles of the present invention as described herein.
[0077] 6. Detailed Description 6.1.Definition Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the meaning commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. As used herein, the following terms have the meanings ascribed to them:
[0078] "Graft-versus-leukemia effect" or "GvL" refers to the effect that occurs after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) or bone marrow transplantation (BMT), in which allograft T lymphocytes eliminate residual malignant host leukemia cells.
[0079] "Graft-versus-tumor effect" or "GvT" refers to the effect that occurs after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) or bone marrow transplantation (BMT). Allograft T lymphocytes eliminate malignant residual host cancer cells, such as myeloma and lymphoid and myeloid leukemias, lymphomas, multiple myeloma, and possibly breast cancer cells. The term GvT is a generic term for GvL.
[0080] The terms "treatment," "treating," and the like are used herein in the broadest sense understood in the medical arts. In particular, these terms generally refer to obtaining a desired pharmacological and / or physiological effect. The effect may be prophylactic, in that a disease, condition, or symptoms thereof are completely or partially prevented, and / or may be therapeutic, in that a disease or condition and / or adverse effects, e.g., symptoms resulting from the disease or condition, are partially or completely cured. As used herein, "treatment" encompasses any treatment of a mammalian, particularly a human, disease or condition, including (a) preventing the disease or condition from occurring in a subject who may be susceptible to, but has not yet been diagnosed as having, the disease or condition; (b) inhibiting the disease or condition (e.g., preventing its onset); or (c) alleviating the disease or condition (e.g., causing regression of the disease or condition, resulting in the improvement of one or more symptoms). Improvement in any condition can be readily assessed according to standard methods and techniques known in the art. The population of subjects treated by the disease methods includes those suffering from the undesirable condition or disease, as well as those at risk of developing the condition or disease.
[0081] As used herein, "HLA match" refers to a pair of individuals who have matching HLA alleles at the HLA class I (HLA-A, HLA-B, and HLA-C) and class II (HLA-DRB1 and HLA-DQB1) loci, allowing the individuals to be immunologically compatible with each other. HLA compatibility can be determined using any of the methods available in the art, for example, as described in Tiervy, Haematologica 2016 Volume 101(6):680-687, which is incorporated herein by reference.
[0082] For a given locus, a pair of individuals has a 2 / 2 match if each of the two alleles of one individual matches two alleles of the other individual. A pair of individuals has a 1 / 2 match if only one of the two alleles of one individual matches one of the two alleles of the other individual. A pair of individuals has a 10 / 10 match at the HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C, HLA-DRB1, and HLA-DQB1 loci if all 10 alleles of one individual (two for each of the HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C, HLA-DRB1, and HLA-DQB1 loci) match all 10 alleles of the other individual.
[0083] In a preferred embodiment, allele-level typing is used to determine HLA compatibility. Allele-level typing can be used to determine HLA compatibility, for example, * It corresponds to the unique nucleotide sequence of the HLA gene, defined by using all the numbers in the first, second, third and fourth segments, such as 02:01:01:01. Functionally, the third and fourth regions, which characterize different alleles due to silent substitutions in coding sequences and substitutions in non-coding sequences, respectively, are irrelevant, except when the substitutions prevent the expression of the HLA allele (e.g., the null allele B*15:01:01:02N). The absence of a null allele often results in a mismatch that is highly likely to be recognized by alloreactive T cells and has adverse clinical consequences. Substitutions in non-coding sequences can affect expression levels (e.g., the A24low allele A*24:02:01:02L). Such variability can also affect anti-HLA non-self recognition.
[0084] As used herein, the term "HLA mismatched" refers to a pair of individuals who have mismatched HLA alleles at the HLA class I (HLA-A, HLA-B, and HLA-C) and class II (HLA-DRB1 and HLA-DQB1) loci, making the individuals immunologically incompatible with each other.
[0085] As used herein, the term "partial HLA mismatch" refers to a pair of individuals who have mismatched HLA alleles at the HLA class I (HLA-A, HLA-B, and HLA-C) and class II (HLA-DRB1 and HLA-DQB1) loci, making the individuals immunologically incompatible with each other to an acceptable degree. Some studies have identified tolerated mismatches. Some HLA class I incompatibilities are considered to be more tolerated.
[0086] "HLA haplotype" refers to the set of HLA locus alleles per chromosome, one inherited from the mother and one inherited from the father. Genotypes at the HLA class I (HLA-A, HLA-B, and HLA-C) and class II (HLA-DRB1 and HLA-DQB1) loci can be used to determine the HLA haplotype.
[0087] The term "therapeutically effective amount" is an amount effective to treat a disease, thus ameliorating the symptoms of the disease. Prevention can be considered treatment, and thus a therapeutically effective amount can be a "prophylactically effective amount."
[0088] The term "ameliorate" refers to any therapeutically beneficial outcome in the treatment of a disease state, for example, a neurodegenerative disease state, including prevention, reduction in severity or progression, remission, or cure.
[0089] 6.2. Other Interpretation Rules Ranges recited herein are understood to be shorthand for all values within the range, inclusive of the recited endpoints. For example, a range of 1 to 50 is understood to include any number, combination of numbers, or subrange from the group consisting of 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, and 50.
[0090] 6.3. Summary of experimental observations The present disclosure provides highly purified allogeneic CD4 transduced with a bidirectional lentiviral vector containing the human IL-10 gene and a truncated, non-signaling form of the human NGFR. + Methods for the production and use of successfully transduced CD4 T cells are provided. + T cells were purified using an NGFR-specific monoclonal antibody to identify >95% pure IL-10-producing, NGFR-expressing CD4 + T cells (CD4 IL-10 CD4 cells were obtained from three different allogeneic HLA-mismatched donors. IL-10 Cells were pooled in a 1:1:1 ratio.
[0091] As used herein, multiple donor CD4 IL-10 These pooled populations, also called cells, are single-donor CD4 IL-10 The cytokine production profiles of these CD4 T cells were comparable to those of naturally occurring type 1 regulatory T (Tr1) cells. They produced high levels of IL-10, IL-22, IFN-γ, IL-5, and low levels of IL-4. IL-10 The cells are polyclonal (have multiple antigen specificities) and express allogeneic CD4 + Cells and CD8 + They suppressed the proliferation of both CD4 T cells and CD8 T cells. Furthermore, they specifically killed myeloid leukemia cells in vitro. Multiple donor CD4 T cells were also expressed in a humanized mouse model of graft-versus-host disease (GvHD). IL-10 Adoptive transfer of the cells showed that these cells efficiently homed to the spleen. IL-10 Adoptive transfer of cells using human CD4 + Multi-donor CD4+ / IL-10+ cells inhibited severe xenogeneic GvHD induced by T cells. Importantly, even at high concentrations, multi-donor CD4+ / IL-10+ cells alone did not induce GvHD. These results support the conclusion that multi-donor CD4+ / IL-10+ cells alone did not induce GvHD. IL-10The cells have been shown to be useful for the treatment and / or prevention of GvHD, to be used as an adjunct to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for the treatment of leukemia and other malignancies, to alleviate GvHD while maintaining the GvL or GvT therapeutic effects of HSCT, and to treat cell and organ rejection and autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.

[0192] 6.8.Example The following examples are offered by way of illustration and not by way of limitation.
[0193] 6.8.1. Example 1: Multiple Donor CD4 IL-10 Cell preparation and vector production As described in WO 2016 / 146542, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety, transduction with a lentiviral vector containing the coding sequence for both human IL-10 and a truncated form of NGFR (ΔNGFR) (FIGS. 1 and 2) has been shown to be effective in generating multiple donor CD4+ ... IL-10 The cells were then produced. The sequence of the vector is shown as SEQ ID NO: 5. Briefly, the lentiviral vector was generated by ligating the coding sequence for human IL-10 from a 549 bp fragment of pH15C (ATCC 68192) into plasmid #1074.1071.hPGK.GFP.WPRE.mhCMV.dNGFR.SV40PA. The presence of a bidirectional promoter (human PGK promoter plus minimal core elements of the CMV promoter in opposite orientations) allows for simultaneous expression of two transgenes. The plasmid further contains the coding sequence for an antibiotic resistance gene (e.g., ampicillin or kanamycin).
[0194] Lentiviral vectors were produced by transient four-plasmid cotransfection into 293T cells with Ca3PO4, concentrated by ultracentrifugation, and 1 μM sodium butyrate was added to the culture for vector recovery. Titers on 293T cells were estimated by limiting dilution, and vector particles were measured by HIV-1 Gag p24 antigen immunocapture (NEN Life Science Products, Waltham, MA). Vector infectious titers were calculated as the ratio of titer to particles. For concentrated vectors, titers were 5 × 10 8 From 6 x 10 9 transducing units / ml, with an infectious titer of 5 x 10 4 From 5 x 10 5 The transducing units / ng range.
[0195] CD4 IL-10 Cell production Figure 3 shows the CD4 IL-10 Schematic diagram of the cell production process. + Purified human CD4 T cells + T cells were activated with soluble anti-CD3 mAb, soluble anti-CD28 mAb, and rhIL-2 (50 U / mL) for 48 h and then transduced with a bidirectional lentiviral vector encoding human IL-10 and a truncated human NGF receptor (LV-IL-10 / ΔNGFR) at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 20.
[0196] After 11 days, transduced cells were analyzed by FACS for expression of ΔNGFR and vector copy number (VCN) was quantified by digital droplet PCR (ddPCR).
[0197] CD4 from 10 different donors + The mean transduction efficiency of T cells was 45 ± 17%, and the VCN was 2.7 ± 0.6%. Figure 4A shows the transduction efficiency of human CD4 T cells transduced with LV-IL-10 / ΔNGFR (a bidirectional lentiviral vector encoding human IL-10 and a truncated human NGF receptor). + CD4 on T cells + ΔNGFR +Percentages of CD4 cells (mean ± SD, n = 10, left bar) and vector copy numbers (VCN, mean ± SD, n = 10, right bar) are shown. + ΔNGFR + The cell frequency and vector copy number were measured using CD4 IL-10 Quantification was performed by digital droplet PCR (ddPCR) in cells.
[0198] ΔNGFR + T cells were purified using anti-CD271 mAb-coated microbeads to obtain >95% pure CD4 IL-10 A cell population was obtained. After purification, the cells were stained with CD4 and ΔNGFR markers and analyzed by FACS. The data showed that the purity obtained from the purification process was greater than 98%. Figure 4B shows FACS data obtained from two representative donors (donor B and donor C) out of the 10 donors tested. Purified CD4 IL-10 Cells were restimulated three times at 14 day intervals and their in vitro and in vivo function was tested after the second restimulation (TF2) and / or third restimulation (TF3).
[0199] Resting CD4 IL-10 The cells constitutively produced IL-10, and upon activation, the levels of IL-10 produced were strongly enhanced.
[0200] CD4 IL-10 The cells have a cytokine production profile that is comparable to that of naturally occurring Tr1 cells. After the second (TF2) and third (TF3) restimulations, single-donor CD4 IL-10 The cytokine production profile of the cells was analyzed and the results are shown in FIG. Specifically, CD4 IL-10 cells (2 x 10 in 200 μl 5The CD4+ T cells were restimulated as previously described (Andolfi et al. Mol Ther. 2012;20(9):1778-1790 and Locafaro et al. Mol Ther. 2017;25(10):2254-2269). On day 14, after the second (TF2) and third (TF3) restimulations, CD4+ T cells were obtained. IL-10 Cells were left unstimulated (orange bars) or stimulated with immobilized anti-CD3 and soluble anti-CD28 mAbs (gray bars) for 48 hours. Culture supernatants were collected, and levels of IL-10, IL-4, IL-5, IFN-γ, and IL-22 were measured by ELISA. All samples were tested in triplicate. The mean ± SD of donors tested (n=8) is shown. The results shown in Figure 5 show that CD4 IL-10 Figure 1 shows that the cells exhibit a Tr1 cell cytokine production profile.
[0201] Although considerable variation was observed between different donors, the overall cytokine production profile after the second (TF2) or third (TF3) restimulation was comparable and mirrored that of Tr1 cells (Roncarolo et al., Immunity, 2018). Similar to Tr1 cells, CD4 IL-10 The cells produced high levels of IL-10, IL-5, IFN-γ, and IL-22, but low levels of IL-4 and undetectable levels of IL-2.
[0202] CD4 IL-10 The cells express high levels of granzyme B, which selectively kills myeloid leukemia cells. CD4 IL-10 The cells were further analyzed for granzyme B (GzB) expression after a second restimulation (TF2). The data in Figure 6A show that most CD4 IL-10 Total CD4 cells from seven different donors were shown to express GzB. IL-10 More than 95% of the cells expressed high levels of granzyme B.
[0203] CD4 obtained from the second (TF2) restimulationIL-10 The cells were further analyzed for their cytotoxic effect against myeloid leukemia cells (ALL-CM) and erythroid leukemia cell lines (K562). IL-10 cells (10 5 cells / well) were added to K562 cells and ALL-CM cells (10 5 The cells were co-cultured with the residual leukemia cell line (CD45 low CD33 + ) were counted by FACS for each target cell.
[0204] CD4 IL-10 The cells selectively killed myeloid leukemia cells (ALL-CM) as shown in Figure 6B. The percentage of ALL-CM cells killed varied between 62% and 100%, whereas killing of the erythroid leukemia cell line K562 (highly sensitive to nonspecific cytotoxic activity) varied between 0 and 27% (tested in four different donors). Collectively, these data support the conclusion that CD4 IL-10 These results confirm that the cells express granzyme B and efficiently kill myeloid leukemia cells. As expected, CD4 IL-10 Some variability in cell killing ability was observed.
[0205] CD4 IL-10 The cells were allogeneic CD4 + T cells and CD8 + suppresses both T cell proliferation responses CD4 IL-10 The cells were then transfected with allogeneic CD4 + T cells or CD8 + Their effects on T cells were also analyzed. Specifically, allogeneic PBMC cells were treated with eFluor® 670 (10 5 cells / well) and labeled with CD4 IL-10 In the absence or presence of cells (10 5 cells / well), and allogeneic mature dendritic (DC) cells (5 × 10 4 After 4 days of culture, the percentage of proliferative responding cells was determined by CD4 + ΔNGFR- T cells or CD8 + ΔNGFR - Figures 7A and 7B show CD4 T cells from six different unpooled donors (donors C, E, and F in Figure 7A and donors H, I, and L in Figure 7B) and CD4 T cells from six different unpooled donors (donors C, E, and F in Figure 7A and donors H, I, and L in Figure 7B) were measured by eFluor® 670 dilution using flow cytometry after gating on T cells. IL-10 Cellular CD4 + The effects on T cells are shown as percentages of proliferation and suppression. Figures 8A and 8B show CD4 T cells from six different unpooled donors (donors C, E, and F in Figure 8A and donors H, I, and L in Figure 8B). IL-10 Cellular CD8 + Shows the effect on T cells.
[0206] These results are not pooled and are based on CD4 counts from six different donors tested separately. IL-10 The cells are allogeneic CD4 + T cells and CD8 + showed that CD4 down-regulated both the proliferation and proliferation responses of T cells. + The inhibitory effect on T cells varied between 51% and 96%, but the CD8 + The inhibitory effect on T cells varied between 62% and 73%.
[0207] Multiple donor CD4 IL-10 Cell generation and characterization CD4 from multiple donors + Use CD4 cells as described above and in Figure 3. IL-10 CD4 cells were generated from each donor. IL-10 The cells were stimulated by a second (TF2) and third (TF3) restimulation. After the third stimulation, CD4 IL-10 Cells were pooled in a 1:1:1 ratio and stimulated with immobilized anti-CD3 and soluble anti-CD28 mAb for 48 hours.
[0208] Multiple donor CD4 IL-10 The cells were CD4 Il-10The cytokine production profile is comparable to that of the cells. Culture supernatants were collected and levels of IL-10, IL-4, IL-5, IFN-γ, and IL-22 were measured by ELISA. The results, presented in Figure 9, show pooled (1:1:1) multi-donor CD4 IL-10 Cytokine production of cells (red dots) was measured using CD4 IL-10 Cell-derived CD4 IL-10 The cytokine production of CD4+ cells (gray bars) was comparable to that of CD4+ cells (gray bars). IL-10 The cells produced high levels of IL-10, IL-5, IFN-γ, and IL-22, as well as low levels of IL-4 and undetectable levels of IL-2 (not shown). IL-10 It is feasible to pool cells, and these multi-donor CD4 IL-10 The cells were derived from a single donor. IL-10 These results demonstrate that the pooled homogeneous cell populations maintain the cytokine production signature of Tr1 and Tr1 cells. Importantly, the pooled homogeneous cell populations contained over 95% viable cells, indicating that they did not kill each other.
[0209] Multiple donor CD4 IL-10 The cells express high levels of granzyme B and are capable of killing myeloid leukemia cell lines. Multiple donor CD4 IL-10 Cells were further analyzed after the third restimulation (TF3) for expression of granzyme B (GzB). Data in Figure 10A show that most multi-donor CD4 IL-10 Showing that the cells express GzB. Multi-donor CD4 IL-10 Over 95% of cells express granzyme B and are CD4 IL-10 This was comparable to the GzB expression in the cells.
[0210] CD4 obtained from the third (TF3) restimulation IL-10 The cells were further analyzed for their cytotoxic effect against myeloid leukemia cells (ALL-CM cell line) or K562.IL-10 cells (10 5 cells / well) were added to K562 cells and ALL-CM cells (10 5 The cells were co-cultured with the residual leukemia cell line (CD45 low CD33 + ) were counted by FACS for each target cell. The results shown in Figure 10B demonstrate some degree of cytotoxicity against K562 cells, which are highly sensitive to nonspecific cytotoxicity. Nevertheless, a level of selectivity for myeloid leukemia cells (ALL-CM) was obtained, which was achieved by using CD4 IL-10 This is comparable to cell selectivity.
[0211] Multiple donor CD4 IL-10 The cells suppress the proliferative responses of both allogeneic CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. Multiple donor CD4 IL-10 The cells were then transfected with allogeneic CD4 + T cells or CD8 + Their effects on T cells were also analyzed. Specifically, allogeneic PBMC cells were treated with eFluor® 670 (10 5 cells / well) and labeled with multiple donor CD4 IL-10 In the absence or presence of cells (10 5 cells / well), and allogeneic mature dendritic (DC) cells (5 × 10 4 After 4 days of culture, the percentage of proliferative responding cells was determined by CD4 + ΔNGFR - T cells and CD8 + ΔNGFR - After gating on T cells, eFluor® 670 dilution was determined using flow cytometry. Figure 11A shows CD4+ T cells from donors C, E, and F. IL-10 Multiple donor CD4 containing cells IL-10 Figure 11B shows the results of cells from donors H, I, and L that were frozen, stored, and thawed before testing. IL-10 Multiple donor CD4 containing cells IL-10The results for cells are shown.
[0212] Figure 11A shows a multi-donor CD4 IL-10 Cells (from three different donors) were CD4 + and CD8 + A second, different batch of multi-donor CD4 T cells was tested after freezing, storing, and thawing the cells prior to testing. IL-10 Comparable results were obtained using CD4 cells (Fig. 11B). + and CD8 + The suppression of T cell proliferation was 68% and 75%, respectively. These data are consistent with the multi-donor CD4 IL-10 This demonstrates that cells can be frozen and preserved without loss of function.
[0213] In summary, multiple donor CD4 IL10 Data obtained with cells indicate that these cell preparations can be pooled successfully. They contain >95% viable cells and are single-donor CD4 IL-10 Maintains all relevant functions of the cells (cytokine production, cytotoxicity, and suppression of allogeneic T cell responses). IL-10 The use of larger pools of cells allows for the identification of CD4 IL-10 This should reduce the natural variability observed between cell lots and allow for the production of large quantities of uniform CD4 IL-10 The cells should be provided.
[0214] Multiple donor CD4 IL-10 Cellular products have the significant advantage of being more homogeneous products, which will allow for the determination of well-defined potency and release criteria with less lot-to-lot variability, and will also enable the development of continuous large-scale cell manufacturing processes.
[0215] Multiple donor CD4 IL-10 Other methods of producing cells Pool buffy coats from a minimum of 3–5 different donors prior to lentiviral transduction. + Cells are isolated from the buffy coat by positive selection using anti-CD4 antibodies. + Confirm cell purity by FACS. Alternatively, use frozen human CD4 + Cells are obtained from a minimum of 3-5 normal healthy donors. Frozen human CD4 + Thaw cells before use. CD4 cells from buffy coat or frozen stocks + Cells are activated with a combination of CD3 and CD28 antibodies or beads coated with CD3 and CD28 antibodies in the presence of IL-2 for 24-48 hours. Optionally, CD4 antibodies from buffy coats or frozen stocks are used. + The cells were activated with soluble anti-CD3, soluble anti-CD28 mAb and rhIL-2 (50 U / mL) for 48 hours, and CD4 IL-10 For the production of cells, transduce with the bidirectional lentiviral vector encoding human IL-10 as described above.
[0216] In some cases, the T cell donor (or CD4 + First, the HLA haplotype of the CD4 + Cells are selectively pooled for use.
[0217] Multiple donor CD4 IL-10 The cells were activated with CD4 + It is generated by transducing cells with a lentiviral vector containing the human IL-10 and ΔNGFR coding sequences described above.
[0218] On days 7-11, 5-9 days after transduction, cells were harvested and successfully transduced T cells were purified using anti-NGFR antibodies. This process typically yields 95% pure multi-donor CD4 IL-10 resulting in a cell population.
[0219] Purified multi-donor CD4 IL-10Cells are counted and restimulated for another 8-10 days with a mixture of CD3 and CD28 antibodies, beads coated with CD3 and CD28 antibodies, in the presence of IL-2, and optionally in the presence of feeder cells. IL-10 The cells are restimulated in the presence of feeder cells.
[0220] After a total culture period of 14–18 days, CD4 IL-10 Cells are harvested, counted, and tested for their ability to spontaneously produce IL-10 or their ability to produce IL-10 after activation with CD3 and CD28 antibodies or beads coated with CD3 and CD28 antibodies. In addition, levels of GrzB and perforin are measured. Human T cells (PBMCs) and purified CD4 + and CD8 + Their ability to suppress T cell proliferation is also tested.
[0221] In addition, IL-22 production was observed constitutively and in a 200 microliter volume of 200,000 CD4 cells using a combination of CD3 and CD28 antibodies, as previously described for the production of other cytokines, e.g., IFNγ, IL-10, IL-4, and IL-5. IL-10 The levels of IL-22 produced are measured after cell activation using an IL-22-specific ELISA, as described for other cytokines in WO 2016 / 146542. Prior to storage, pooled CD4 IL-10 Freeze the cells.
[0222] 6.8.2. Example 2: Multiple Donor CD4 IL-10 Treatment or prevention of GvHD using cells In vivo multiple donor CD4 IL-10 Cellular effects Multiple donor CD4 IL-10The cell populations were tested for their effect on GvHD induced by human PBMCs in the NSG mouse model, a humanized xeno-GvHD disease model, as shown in Figure 12. NSG mice were sublethally irradiated and injected with human PBMCs (5x10 6 cells / mouse), multiple donor (3 donors) CD4 IL-10 cells (5×10 6 cells / mouse), or multiple donor CD4 IL-10 Cells (3 donors) (5 × 10 6 cells / mouse) combined with human PBMCs (5 × 10 6 GvHD was assessed based on weight loss (>20% weight loss), skin lesions, coat condition, activity, and posture as previously reported (Bondanza et al. Blood 2006).
[0223] Figure 13 shows the % of NSG mice showing GvHD on each day after injection. 6 Administration of 5 × 10 human PBMCs unexpectedly resulted in unusually excitable GvHD. All mice died by day 10, reflecting highly lethal GvHD. 6 Multiple donor CD4 IL-10 Although co-administration of cells delayed this fulminant form of GvHD, mice were sacrificed on day 14 after reaching the pre-specified human 20% weight loss criterion for sacrifice (Figure 13). However, these results are consistent with the results of multiple-donor CD4 IL-10 Importantly, multi-donor CD4+ PBMCs administered alone at the same dose as PBMCs have been shown to delay very severe GvHD. IL-10 cells (5×10 6 cells) did not induce any signs of GvHD.
[0224] In addition, human PBMCs (5 × 10 6 cells / mouse), multiple donor (3 donors) CD4 IL-10 cells (5×10 6 cells / mouse) or human PBMCs (5 × 10 6cells / mouse) multiple donor CD4 IL-10 Cells (3 donors) (5 × 10 6 Human CD4 in the spleen (FIG. 14, left panel) and bone marrow (FIG. 14, right panel) of NSG mice injected with a combination of IgG1 and IgG2-associated IgG1 (IgG1-associated IgG1) ... cells / mouse. IL-10 The presence of cells was examined 14 days after injection. The results shown in Figure 14 showed that multiple donor CD4 IL-10 These results indicate that the cells migrated to the spleen and bone marrow. 14 days after cell injection, these cells were found to be present in low proportions. These results support the conclusion that multi-donor CD4 IL-10 These results demonstrate that the cells delay the fulminant GvHD induced by human PBMCs and do not themselves induce any xenogeneic GvHD.
[0225] Multiple donor CD4 IL-10 Cells were purified CD4 + Inhibition of severe xenogeneic GvHD by cells. As shown in Figure 15, 2.5 x 10 6 In a humanized xenogeneic GvHD model in which GvHD disease was induced by the administration of purified human CD4+ T cells, multiple donor CD4 IL-10 NSG mice were sublethally irradiated on day 0 and human CD4 + T cells (2.5×10 6 cells / mouse) single or multiple donor CD4 IL-10 Cells (three different donors) (2.5 × 10 6 CD4 from a single donor in combination with or from a pool (cells / mouse) IL-10 cells (2.5×10 6 GvHD was assessed based on weight loss (>20% weight loss), skin lesions, coat condition, activity, and posture as previously reported (Bondanza et al. Blood 2006).
[0226] Figure 16 shows the % of NSG mice showing GvHD on each day after injection. These results are consistent with multi-donor CD4 IL-10 Cells are human allogeneic CD4 +This indicates that T cell-mediated GvHD can be inhibited. In this particular experiment, the heterologous GvHD was very severe, as all mice in the control group that received CD4+ T cells died by day 20. In contrast, 2.5 × 10 6 Multiple donor CD4 IL-10 Coadministration of single donor CD4 inhibited GvHD by 75%. IL-10 The cells were also protective, but the effect was not as strong.
[0227] Other experiments Multiple donor CD4 IL-10 The therapeutic effect of the cells was evaluated in four different groups of mice: (i) CD4 IL-10 (ii) mice receiving human PBMCs from a donor unrelated to the cells (GvHD positive control); (iii) mice receiving multiple donor CD4 IL-10 mice receiving cells (negative control); (iii) PBMC and multiple donor CD4 IL-10 Mice receiving the cell combination in a 1:1 ratio, and (iv) PBMC and multiple donor CD4 IL-10 Cell combinations are tested in mice receiving PBMC and multi-donor CD4 IL-10 Among animals receiving cell combinations, some animals received PBMC and multi-donor CD4 IL-10 The animals were simultaneously administered with PBMCs and some animals developed multiple-donor CD4 IL-10 Some animals received multiple donor CD4 IL-10 The cells are administered.
[0228] PBMC and / or multiple donor CD4 IL-10 After cell administration, mice are monitored for the development of GvHD by measuring body weight at weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, and optionally at week 5. In addition to weight loss, mice are examined for skin lesions, coat condition, and activity. Mice in treatment groups are monitored over an extended period to assess the efficacy of multi-donor CD4 T cells for long-term survival.IL-10 Examine the effects on cells.
[0229] Multiple donor CD4 IL-10 The quantity and localization of cells will also be monitored in peripheral blood and tissues after administration. Specifically, multi-donor CD4 cells in peripheral blood and at sites of inflammation, i.e., lymph nodes, spleen, intestine, and bone marrow. IL-10 The presence of cells is monitored. Mice in the treatment group are monitored for an additional 3 weeks to ensure long-term survival.
[0230] These results are consistent with multiple donor CD4 IL-10 These results demonstrate that the cells are effective in reducing and preventing xenogeneic GvHD.
[0231] 6.8.3. Example 3: Inhibition of GvHD and Treatment of Cancer Multiple donor CD4 IL-10 The cell populations will be tested for their efficacy against xenogeneic GvHD induced by human PBMCs and anti-tumor effects in an NSG mouse model implanted with human PBMCs and AML tumor cells. AML cells (ALL-CM) will be administered intravenously as previously described in WO 2016 / 146542. PBMCs or multi-donor CD4 IL-10 The cells or a combination thereof are administered three days later.
[0232] As described in Example 1, multiple donor CD4 IL-10 Obtain cells from multiple donor CD4 IL-10 The therapeutic effect of cells was evaluated by irradiating 5 × 10 cells on day 0. 6 Four different groups of mice (AML mice) with ALL-CM cells were treated: (i) AML mice without further treatment; (ii) multiple donor CD4 IL-10 Cells were derived from unrelated donors and consisted of 5 × 10 6 AML mice administered 2.5 × 10 human PBMCs - PBMCs induce severe xenogeneic GvHD, (iii) 2.5 × 10 6 Multiple donor CD4 IL-10 AML mice administered cells, and (iv) PBMCs and multiple donor CD4IL-10 Combinations with ALL-CML cells will be tested in AML mice treated with ALL-CML cells at a 1:1 or 2:1 ratio, or at different ratios. One additional group of mice will not receive ALL-CML cells, but will receive 5x10 cells on day 3 post-irradiation. 6 The mice are administered human PBMCs.
[0233] Multi-donor CD4 for xenogeneic GvHD induced by human PBMC IL-10 The efficacy of the cells will be tested based on weight loss, skin lesions, coat condition, viability, mortality and long-term survival. IL-10 The anti-tumor or graft-versus-leukemia (GvL) effect of the cells is tested based on the reduction of circulating tumor cells and long-term tumor-free survival.
[0234] Some mice are monitored for up to 7 weeks to monitor for long-term survival and complete tumor remission.
[0235] The results were from multiple donor CD4 IL-10 The cells have been shown to be effective in both inhibiting xenogeneic GvHD and treating cancer.
[0236] 6.8.4. Example 4: Multiple Donor CD4 IL-10 Cell-based cancer treatment Multiple donor CD4 IL-10 The population of cells will be tested in an ALL-CM leukemia model of T cell therapy in NSG mice.
[0237] On day 0, NSG mice were sublethally irradiated and injected with myeloid leukemia cells (ALL-CM) (5 × 10 6 In the first group of animals, PBMCs (5 × 10 6 CD4 counts of 100 individuals or from a single donor (donors BC-I and BC-H) IL-10 cells (2.5×10 6 ) were injected on day 3. In the second group of animals, PBMCs (5 × 10 6 ) or multiple donor CD4 IL-10 cells (2.5×10 6The mice were injected with 100 mg of 10 ...
[0238] As shown in Figures 17A and 17B, all of the mice injected with ALL-CM myeloid leukemia cells had extensive leukemia progression by day 17. 6 Administration of PBMCs resulted in potent inhibition of leukemia progression. Interestingly, a similar level of inhibition of leukemia progression was observed with a lower number (2.5 x 10 6 (units) single donor CD4 IL10 (Figure 17A) or multiple donor CD4 IL10 These data were obtained using single-donor and multiple-donor CD4 IL10 These results indicate that IL-16 has a strong direct anti-leukemia effect.
[0239] Single donor CD4 IL10 and multiple donor CD4 IL10 The graft-versus-leukemia (GvL) effect of was further tested in combination with PBMCs in mice injected with ALL-CM myeloid leukemia cells. 6 Administration of PBMCs resulted in potent inhibition of leukemia progression, and single-donor CD4 IL10 (2.5×10 6 5×10 6 Administration of 2.5 x 10 PBMCs had a synergistic effect (Figure 18A). 6 Multiple donor CD4 IL10 5×10 combined with 6 Administration of multiple PBMCs had a comparable synergistic GvL effect (Figure 18B). These data support the results of multiple-donor CD4 IL10 These results demonstrate that PBMCs synergize with each other to mediate potent GvL effects.
[0240] 6.8.5. Example 5: Multiple Donor CD4 IL-10Cell-based treatment of chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases
[0241] NLPR3 inflammasome activation is involved in many chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. NLPR3 inflammasome can be activated by "danger signals" leading to caspase-1-mediated production of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-18 by monocytes / macrophages. Multiple-donor CD4 receptors for NLPR3 inflammasome and IL-1β / IL-18 production by human monocytes. IL-10 A series of in vitro experiments are performed to examine the effects on cells.
[0242] First, human PBMCs are isolated from peripheral blood by standard density centrifugation using Ficoll / Paque (Sigma-Aldrich). Monocytes are isolated from human PBMCs by negative selection using the Monocyte Isolation Kit II (Miltenyi) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Negative selection is preferred because positive selection or adhesion can result in unwanted activation of the cells. 2 x 10 cells per 200 μL of monocytes are cultured in a 96-well microtiter plate in culture medium containing 3% toxin-free human AB serum. 5 1 x 10 5 Multiple donor CD4 IL-10 Where cells are present, isolated monocytes are added at a concentration of 5 x 10 4 Seed cells / 200 μl.
[0243] Table 1 summarizes the treatment conditions applied to 17 sets of monocytes, each set containing 6 wells of cells. It is known that LPS alone can activate human monocytes without a second signal provided by ATP. [Table 1]
[0244] After treatment as outlined in Table 1, supernatants are collected from six wells per group and IL-1β / IL-18 production is measured by ELISA specific for mature IL-1β or IL-18 (Biolegend). Cells collected from six wells for groups 3, 10, 13, 14, and 17 are analyzed by Western blot to examine levels of activated caspase 1.
[0245] Data from the experiment showed that multiple donor CD4 IL-10 We further demonstrate that multi-donor CD4 IL-10 We show that multiple donor CD4 cells downregulate mature caspase-1 production in activated monocytes. IL-10 and multiple donor CD4 IL-10 IL-10 produced by IL-10 downregulates inflammasomes.
[0246] Similar experiments were performed using human macrophages or dendritic cells instead of monocytes. The results of the experiments were compared between multiple donor CD4 IL-10 These results demonstrate that IL-1β, IL-18, and mature caspase-1 production from activated macrophages and dendritic cells are further downregulated.
[0247] These results are consistent with multiple donor CD4 IL-10 These results suggest that multi-donor CD4 cells may be used to treat diseases or disorders associated with overactivation of the NLPR3 inflammasome. IL-10 The cells can be used to treat chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. The NLPR3 inflammasome can be activated by exogenous or endogenous "danger signals," such as pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), silica, asbestos, damaged mitochondria, danger-associated molecular pattern (DAMP)-like products from necrotic and stressed cells, and uremic acid crystals.
[0248] 6.8.6. Experimental methods and materials Cell preparations and cell lines Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were prepared by centrifugation on a Ficoll-Hypaque gradient. + T cells were purified with a CD4 T cell isolation kit (Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany) to a purity of >95%. Mature dendritic cells (DCs) were isolated from CD14 + Peripheral blood CD14 was positively selected using MicroBeads (Miltenyi Biotech, Germany) according to the manufacturer's instructions. + They were generated from monocytes and cultured in RPMI 1640 (Lonza, Italy) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS, Lonza, Italy), 100 U / mL penicillin / streptomycin (Lonza, Italy), and 2 mM L-glutamine (Lonza, Italy) in the presence of 10 ng / mL recombinant human (rh)IL-4 (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA) and 100 ng / mL rhGM-CSF (Genzyme, Seattle, WA) at 37°C for 5 days, and then matured with 1 mg / mL lipopolysaccharide (LPS, Sigma, CA, USA) for an additional 2 days.
[0249] Plasmid Construction: The coding sequence for human IL-10 was excised from pH15C (ATCC no. 68192), and a 549 bp fragment was cloned into the multiple cloning site of pBluKSM (Invitrogen) to obtain pBluKSM-hIL-10. hIL-10 was excised from pBluKSM-hIL-10 and ligated into 1074.1071.hPGK.GFP.WPRE.mhCMV.dNGFR.SV40PA (referred to here as LV-ΔNGFR) to obtain a 555 bp fragment, LV-IL-10 / ΔNGFR. The presence of a bidirectional promoter (human PGK promoter plus minimal core elements of the CMV promoter in opposite orientations) allows for simultaneous expression of two transgenes (Locafaro et al. Mol Ther. 2017;25(10):2254-2269). The sequence of LV-IL-10 / ΔNGFR was verified by pyrosequencing (Primm).
[0250] Vector Production and Titration: VSV-G-pseudotyped third-generation bidirectional lentiviral vectors were produced by Ca3PO4 transient four-plasmid cotransfection into 293T cells and concentrated by ultracentrifugation as previously described (Locafaro et al. Mol Ther. 2017;25(10):2254-2269). Titers were estimated by limiting dilution, and vector particles were measured by HIV-1 Gag p24 antigen immunocapture (NEN Life Science Product, Waltham, MA). Vector infectious titers were calculated as the ratio of titer to particles. Titers were 5 × 10 8 From 6 x 10 9 Transducing units / mL range, infectious titer is 5 x 10 4 From 10 5 The transducing units / ng of p24 were in the range.
[0251] CD4 IL-10 Polyclonal CD4 transduced cells were obtained as previously described (Andolfi et al. Mol Ther. 2012;20(9):1778-1790). Briefly, CD4 purified T cells were activated with soluble anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody (mAb, 30 ng / mL, OKT3, Janssen-Cilag, Raritan, NJ, USA), anti-CD28 mAb (1 μg / mL, BD), and rhIL-2 (50 U / mL, PROLEUKIN, Novartis, Italy) for 48 h. T cells were transfected with LV-IL-10 / ΔNGFR (CD4 IL-10 On day 11, CD271 + CD4 microbeads (Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany) were used. + ΔNGFR +Cells were bead-sorted and expanded in X-VIVO15 medium containing 5% human serum (BioWhittaker-Lonza, Washington), 100 U / mL penicillin-streptomycin (BioWhittaker), and 50 U / mL rhIL-2 (PROLEUKIN, Novartis, Italy). On days 7 and 10, the medium was replaced with fresh medium supplemented with 50 U / mL rhIL-2. On day 14, cells were harvested, washed, and restimulated with an allogeneic feeder mixture as previously described (Andolfi et al. Mol Ther. 2012;20(9):1778-1790). After 14 days, cells were harvested and frozen. Thawed CD4 IL-10 Cells were restimulated and after a second and third round of restimulation and expansion, were functionally characterized in vitro and used for in vivo experiments.
[0252] Vector copy number analysis: Cells were cultured for 11 days post-transduction to remove non-integrated vector forms. Genomic DNA was isolated using the QIAamp DNA Blood Mini Kit (QIAgen, 51106) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Vector integration was quantified using a QX200 Droplet Digital PCR System (Bio-Rad) according to the manufacturer's instructions.
[0253] Cytokine Measurements: Single-donor and multiple-donor CD4 counts were measured after the second and third restimulations to measure cytokine production. IL-10 Cells were either left unstimulated or plated in a final volume of 200 μl of medium (96-well round-bottom plate, 2 × 10 5 Cells were stimulated with immobilized anti-CD3 (10 μg / mL) and soluble anti-CD28 (1 μg / mL) mAbs in 100 μL / well. After 48 h of culture, supernatants were collected and the levels of IL-10, IL-4, IL-5, IFN-γ, and IL-22 were measured by ELISA according to the manufacturer's instructions (BD Biosciences).
[0254] Flow cytometry analysis was performed for the expression of granzyme B (clone MHGB04, Invitrogen, USA) after surface staining with CD4 IL-10 Cells were fixed, permeabilized, and stained using the BD Cytofix / Cytoperm™ kit according to the manufacturer's instructions (Cat. No. 554714, Biolegend, USA). Stained cells were washed twice with PBS supplemented with 1% FBS and analyzed on a BD LSRFortessa using FlowJo10 software.
[0255] Killing assay: Single-donor and multiple-donor CD4 counts after second and third restimulations. IL-10 The cytotoxicity of the cells was analyzed in co-culture experiments.

[0256] Suppression assays single-donor and multi-donor CD4 IL-10 To measure the suppressive capacity of the cells, allogeneic PBMCs were labeled with Cell Proliferation Dye eFluor® 670 (Invitrogen, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer's instructions, followed by the addition of allogeneic mature DCs (5 × 10 4 PBMCs and suppressor cells were stimulated with 1:1 ratio (10 cells / well) and soluble anti-CD3 (50 ng / mL) mAb. 5 PBMCs and 10 5 CD4 IL-10 After 3 days of culture, CD4 + ΔNGFR - or CD8 + ΔNGFR -Responder cell proliferation was determined by analyzing eFluor670 dilutions of T cells by FACS.
[0257] Graft-versus-host disease model: In all experiments, 6 / 8-week-old female NSG mice were used. On day 0, mice received a single dose of total body irradiation from a linear accelerator at 175–200 cGy depending on the mouse weight, and then were inoculated with PBMC cells (5 × 10 6 ), or CD4 IL-10 Cells (single donor or multiple donor (pool of 3 donors) 5 x 10 6 or 2.5 x 10 6 ), or CD4 IL-10 cells (5×10 6 or 2.5 x 10 6 PBMCs (5 × 10 6 Mice were intravenously administered 100 mg of ...
