Multi-objective Optimization Reveals Time- and Dose-Dependent Inflammatory Cytokine-Mediated Regulation of Human Stem Cell Derived T-cell Development

ABSTRACT: The generation of T-cells from stem cells in vitro could provide an alternative source of cells for immunotherapies. T-cell development from hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) is tightly regulated through Notch pathway activation by ligands Delta-like (DL) 1 and 4. Other molecules, such as stem cell factor (SCF) and interleukin (IL)-7, play a supportive role in regulating the survival, differentiation, and proliferation of developing T-cells. Numerous other signaling molecules influence T-lineage development in vivo, but little work has been done to understand and optimize their use for T-cell production. Using a defined engineered thymic niche system, we undertook a multi-stage statistical learning-based optimization campaign and identified IL-3 and tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) as stage- and dose-specific enhancers of cell proliferation and T-lineage differentiation. We used this information to construct an efficient three-stage process for generating conventional TCRab+CD8+ T-cells expressing a diverse TCR repertoire from blood stem cells. Our work provides new insight into T-cell development and a robust system for generating T-cells to enable clinical therapies for treating cancer and immune disorders.

Project description:This a model from the article: A mathematical model for IL-6-mediated, stem cell driven tumor growth and targeted treatment Fereshteh Nazari, Alexander T. Pearson, Jacques Eduardo Nor, Trachette L. Jackson. PloS Computational Biology, 2018 Jan. Abstract: Targeting key regulators of the cancer stem cell phenotype to overcome their critical influence on tumor growth is a promising new strategy for cancer treatment. Here we present a modeling framework that operates at both the cellular and molecular levels, for investigating IL-6 mediated, cancer stem cell driven tumor growth and targeted treatment with anti-IL6 antibodies. Our immediate goal is to quantify the influence of IL-6 on cancer stem cell self-renewal and survival, and to characterize the subsequent impact on tumor growth dynamics. By including the molecular details of IL-6 binding, we are able to quantify the temporal changes in fractional occupancies of bound receptors and their influence on tumor volume. There is a strong correlation between the model output and experimental data for primary tumor xenografts. We also used the model to predict tumor response to administration of the humanized IL-6R monoclonal antibody, tocilizumab (TCZ), and we found that as little as 1mg/kg of TCZ administered weekly for 7 weeks is sufficient to result in tumor reduction and a sustained deceleration of tumor growth. Author Summary: A small population of cancer stem cells that share many of the biological characteristics of normal adult stem cells are believed to initiate and sustain tumor growth for a wide variety of malignancies. Growth and survival of these cancer stem cells is highly influenced by tumor micro-environmental factors and molecular signaling initiated by cytokines and growth factors. This work focuses on quantifying the influence of IL-6, a pleiotropic cytokine secreted by a variety of cell types, on cancer stem cell self-renewal and survival. We present a mathematical model for IL-6 mediated, cancer stem cell driven tumor growth that operates at the following levels: (1) the molecular level—capturing cell surface dynamics of receptor-ligand binding and receptor activation that lead to intra-cellular signal transduction cascades; and (2) the cellular level—describing tumor growth, cellular composition, and response to treatments targeted against IL-6.

Project description:To determine IL-17-induced global transcriptome changes in midbrain neurons derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) from three sporadic Parkinson's disease (PD) patients and three age- and sex-machted controls, deep RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) of IL-17-treated and untreated PD and control iPSC-dderived midbrain neurons was performed. Total RNA was isolated from untreated and IL-17-treated cells with the TruSeq RNA Sample Preparation Kit v2 (Illumina). RNA libraries were quantified using the KAPA SYBR FAST ABI Prism Library Quantification Kit (Kapa Biosystems) and cluster generation was performed on the cBot with the TruSeq SR Cluster Kit v3 (Illumina). The sequencing run was performed on a HiSeq 1000 instrument (Illumina) using the indexed, 50 cycles single read (SR) protocol and the TruSeq SBS v3 Kit (Illumina). Image analysis and base calling resulted in .bcl files that were then converted into .fastQ files by the CASAVA1.8.2 software. FastQ files were aligned to the human genome (hg19) using STAR.and annotated with gencode.v19. DESeq2 was used to determine differential expression. Criteria to determine significantly dysregulated genes were as follows: adjusted p-value below 0.05 and log2FC (fold change) of greater than one. Only genes with a mean expression value of greater than one RPKM (reads per kilobase per million mapped reads) throughout the dataset were considered. Control and PD samples were analyzed as two independent datasets. Upon IL-17 treatment only 17 genes were found to be dysregulated in controls but 125 genes were dysregulated in iPSC-derived midbrain neurons from PD patients. The 125 IL-17-dependent genes in PD iPSC-derived neurons separated the treated from untreated PD samples using an unsupervised, hierarchical clustering applying an Euclidean distance metric.
