Project description:Notch signaling promotes T-cell pathogenicity and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) in mice, with a dominant role for the Delta-like ligand DLL4. To assess if Notch’s effects are evolutionarily conserved and identify key mechanisms, we studied antibody-mediated DLL4 blockade in a non-human primate (NHP) model similar to human allo-HCT. Short-term DLL4 blockade improved post-transplant survival with striking, durable protection from gastrointestinal GVHD, out of proportion to other disease sites. Unlike prior immunosuppressive strategies tested in the NHP GVHD model, anti-DLL4 interfered with a T-cell transcriptional program associated with intestinal infiltration. In cross-species investigations, Notch inhibition decreased surface abundance of the gut-homing integrin α4β7 in conventional T-cells while preserving α4β7 in regulatory T-cells, with findings suggesting increased 1 competition for 4 binding in conventional T-cells. Secondary lymphoid organ fibroblastic reticular cells emerged as the critical cellular source of Delta-like Notch ligands for Notch-mediated up-regulation of α4β7 integrin in T-cells after allo-HCT. Altogether, DLL4/Notch blockade decreased effector T-cell infiltration into the gut, with increased regulatory to conventional T-cell ratios early after allo-HCT. Our results identify a conserved, biologically unique and targetable role of DLL4/Notch signaling in GVHD.

Project description:The direct integration of chimeric-antigen-receptor (CAR) T cell with allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) carries the risk of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) induction by allogeneic CAR-T cells. Based on our past experiments, it has been shown that post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy) prevents GVHD induction by other cell infusions after T-cell-replete MHC-haploidentical murine allo-HCT models. In this study, we investigated whether CAR-T cells, given in a similar manner in the same MHC-haploidentical murine allo-HCT model, could safely exert anti-tumor effects. We showed that anti-CD19 CAR-T cells administered early after (day +5 of transplant) or prior to (day 0 of transplant) PTCy for allo-HCT cleared leukemia without toxicity or GVHD exacerbation. Using next generation single-cell RNA sequencing approaches, we demonstrated that in comparison to CAR-T cells infused early after PTCy (day +5), CAR-T cells infused prior to PTCy (day 0) exhibited transcriptional changes consistent with increased CD4+ T-cell activation and CD8+ T-cell cytotoxicity.

Project description:Lethally irradiated mice were transferred with bone marrow cells together with allogeneic Treg cells isolated from CD226+/+ TIGIT+/+, CD226-/- TIGIT+/+, CD226+/+ TIGIT-/-, or CD226-/- TIGIT-/- mice, followed by allogeneic wild-type Tconv cells two days later to induce acute GVHD. We performed scRNA sequencing of donor T cells isolated from the spleen of recipient mice eight days after GVHD induction.

Project description:In patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), severe graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is tied to failed donor plasmacytoid DC (pDC) reconstitution. The mechanism whereby GVHD causes donor pDC defects and the precise role donor pDCs play in GVHD remain poorly understood. pDCs develop from HSCs in successive stages through Flt3 signaling-dependent differentiation, beginning as multi-potent progenitors (MPPs) and later becoming common DC progenitors. We observed that MPPs were critical for sustaining pDCs and were severely depleted during GVHD. Loss of MPPs was associated with decreased amounts of MPP-producing HSCs and mTOR activation-induced cell death of proliferating MPPs. Additionally, GM-CSF derived from alloreactive T cells subverted MPP production of pDCs. Together, GVHD and alloreactive T cells caused donor pDC defects by impairing the generation, maintenance and differentiation of HSCs and MPPs. Importantly, pDCs suppressed the proliferation and expansion of activated autologous CD4+ T cells via a type I-IFN signaling-dependent mechanism. Transfer of donor pDCs early after transplantation repressed GVHD and preserved potent GVL effects, significantly improving the survival of leukemia mice undergoing allo-HSCT. Our findings identify novel strategies that improve the recovery of donor pDCs early after allo-HSCT and thus may represent an effective therapy to control GVHD. Our findings have broad implications for other diseases in which functional DC development is impaired, such as chronic infections, autoimmunity and cancer.

Project description:Adoptive natural regulatory T cell (nTreg) therapy has improved the outcome for patients suffering from graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) following allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT). However, fear of broad immune suppression and subsequent dampening of beneficial graft-versus-leukemic (GVL) responses remains a challenge. To address this concern, we generated alloreactive induced Tregs (iTregs) from resting CD4 or CD8 T cells and tested their ability to suppress GVH and maintain GVL responses. We utilized major mismatched and haploidentical murine models of HCT with host-derived lymphoma or leukemia cell lines to evaluate GVH and GVL responses simultaneously. Alloreactive CD4 iTregs were effective in preventing GVHD, but abrogated the GVL effect against aggressive leukemia. Alloreactive CD8 iTregs moderately attenuated GVHD while sparing the GVL effect. Hence, we reasoned that using a combination of CD4 and CD8 iTregs could achieve the optimal goal of allo-HCT. Indeed, the combinational therapy was superior to CD4 or CD8 iTreg singular therapy in GVHD control; importantly, the combinational therapy maintained GVL responses. Cellular analysis uncovered potent suppression of both CD4 and CD8 effector T cells by the combinational therapy that resulted in effective prevention of GVHD, which could not be achieved by either singular therapy. Gene expression profiles revealed alloreactive CD8 iTregs possess elevated expression of multiple cytolytic molecules compared to CD4 iTregs, which likely contributes to GVL preservation. Our study uncovers unique differences between alloreactive CD4 and CD8 iTregs that can be harnessed to create an optimal iTreg therapy for GVHD prevention with maintained GVL responses.

Project description:Our studies have shown that CD44hiCD62LloPSGL-1loCD4+ T (PSGL-1loCD4+ T) cells play an important role in chronic GVHD pathogenesis (R. Deng et al: Nature Communications 2017). Thus, PSGL-1loCD4+ T cells were sorted from spleen of chronic GVHD BALB/c recipient mice transplanted with spleen cells and T cell-depleted bone marrow (TCD-BM) cells from C57BL/6 donor mice. The control no GVHD BALB/c recipient mice were transplanted with C57BL/6 donor TCD-BM only. 21 days after transplantation, PSGL-1loCD4+ T cells from spleen of chronic GVHD and control mice were sorted and subjected to RNA-seq analysis.

Project description:Patients relapsing with FLT3-ITD mutant acute myeloid leukemia (AML) after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) have a one-year-survival below 20%. We observed that sorafenib increased IL-15 production by FLT3-ITD+-leukemia cells, which synergized with the allogeneic CD8+T-cell response, leading to long-term survival in murine and humanized FLT3-ITD+AML models. Using IL-15 deficiency in recipient tissues or leukemia cells, IL-15 production upon sorafenib-treatment could be attributed to leukemia cells. Sorafenib treatment-related IL-15 production caused an increase in CD8+CD107a+IFN-γ+ T-cells with features of longevity (Bcl-2high/reduced PD-1-levels), which eradicated leukemia in secondary recipients. Mechanistically, sorafenib reduced ATF4 expression, thereby blocking negative regulation of IRF7-activation, which enhances IL-15 transcription. Consistent with the mouse data, IL-15 and pIRF7 levels increased in leukemic blasts of FLT3-ITD+AML patients upon sorafenib treatment. Analysis of 130 patients with FLT3-ITD-mutant AML relapsing after allo-HCT showed the highest complete remission-rate and median overall-survival-rate in the sorafenib/donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) group compared to all other groups (chemotherapy, chemotherapy/DLI, sorafenib alone). Our findings indicate that the synergism of DLI and sorafenib is mediated via reduced ATF4 expression, causing activation of the pIRF7/IL-15-axis in leukemia cells. The sorafenib/DLI strategy therefore has the potential for an immune-mediated cure of FLT3-ITD-mutant AML- relapse, an otherwise fatal complication after allo-HCT.
