Fc-optimized GITR antibody enhances a CD4 T cell-dendritic cell crosstalk to promote anti-tumor immunity [Lib1]

ABSTRACT: Targeting the stimulatory immune checkpoint glucocorticoid-induced TNFR-related protein (GITR) using agonistic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) is a promising strategy for cancer immunotherapy that involves increased effector T cell activity and regulatory T cell (Treg) elimination. The pre-clinical anti-tumor activity of GITR mAbs depends on activating Fcγ receptors (FcγRs). However, the role of human Fc-FcγR interactions in the activity of GITR mAbs has not been comprehensively addressed. To this end, we employed Fc protein and glycan engineering to modify the FcγR interactions of anti-GITR human mAbs and characterized them in humanized FcγR mice. We identified an Fc-optimized human IgG scaffold that increased binding to activating FcγRIIa and FcγRIIIa, enhancing anti-tumor efficacy. This Fc-optimized activity was mediated by multiple mechanisms that are unique to GITR mAb, including FcγR-mediated Treg depletion and mutual engagement and activation of CD4+ T cells and dendritic cells, leading to anti-tumor cytotoxic activity of CD4+ T cells and enhanced CD8+ T cell activity. Our findings suggest a strategy to optimize human GITR mAbs, harnessing beneficial immune pathways to improve their therapeutic potential.

The pre-clinical anti-tumor activity of GITR mAbs depends on activating Fcγ receptors (FcγRs).

To this end, we employed Fc protein and glycan engineering to modify the FcγR interactions of anti-GITR human mAbs and characterized them in humanized FcgR mice. We identified an Fc-optimized human IgG scaffold that enhances anti-tumor efficacy through multiple FcgR-mediated mechanisms, including Treg depletion and mutual engagement and activation of CD4+ T cells and dendritic cells, leading to anti-tumor cytotoxicity of CD4+ T cells and enhanced CD8+ T cell activity. Our findings suggest a strategy to optimize human GITR mAbs, harnessing beneficial immune pathways to improve their therapeutic potential.

Nonfucosylation of an anti-TIGIT antibody enhances FcyR engagement, driving innate immune activation and antitumor activity

Project description:TIGIT is an immune checkpoint receptor expressed on activated and memory T cells, immunosuppressive T regulatory cells, and natural killer (NK) cells. TIGIT has emerged as an attractive target for antitumor therapies, due to its proposed immunosuppressive effects on lymphocyte function and T cell activation. We generated an anti-TIGIT monoclonal antibody (mAb) that binds with high affinity to human, non-human primate, and murine TIGIT and through multiple experimental methodologies demonstrated that checkpoint blockade alone is insufficient for antitumor activity. Generating anti-TIGIT mAbs with various Fc backbones we show that muting the Fc-Fcγ receptor (FcγR) interaction failed to drive antitumor activity, while mAbs with Fc functional backbones demonstrate substantial antitumor activity, mediated through activation of antigen-presenting cells (APCs), T cell priming, and NK-mediated depletion of suppressive Tregs and exhausted T cells. Further, nonfucosylation of the Fc backbone resulted in enhanced immune responses and antitumor activity relative to the intact IgG1 backbone. The improved activity correlated with the biased FcγR interaction profile of the nonfucosylated anti-TIGIT mAb, which supports that FcγRIIIa binding with decreased FcγRIIb binding favorably activates APCs and enhances tumor-specific CD8+ T cell responses. The anti-TIGIT mAbs with intact FcγR interacting backbones also demonstrated synergistic enhancement of other standard antitumor treatments, including anti-PD-1 treatment and a model monomethyl auristatin E antibody–drug conjugate. These findings highlight the importance of the anti-TIGIT mAb’s Fc backbone to its antitumor activity and the extent to which this activity can be enhanced through nonfucosylation of the backbone

Assessing the role of FcγRIIIa expression on CD8 T cells

Project description:Fcγ receptors (FcγRs) are ubiquitously expressed by nearly all lineages of innate and adaptive leukocyte populations, with the notable exception of T cells, which are negative for all classes of FcγRs. While at steady state T cells are negative for all FcγR classes, we observed that a subset of CD8 T cells specifically induces the expression of the activating FcγR, FcγRIIIa, in response to viral infection. We used scRNAseq to compare the transcriptional profile of FcγRIIIa+ and FcγRIIIa- CD8 T cell populations from the lungs of influenza-infected FcγR humanized mice.

Efficacious anti-CTLA-4 antibodies drive myeloid activation and TME reprograming through FcγR engagement and Type-I interferon signaling

Project description:Despite the clinical success of checkpoints inhibitors, a significant gap still exists in our understanding of their in vivo mechanism of action, thus limiting the rational development of next generation agents. Amongst these, anti-CTLA-4 antibodies were originally developed to block inhibitory signals into activated effector T cells. However, several recent studies have demonstrated that depletion of regulatory T cells expressing high levels of CTLA-4 is critical to anti-CTLA-4 anti-tumor activity. Whereas the mechanism of action remains controversial, the emerging data support clinical development of new antibodies with enhanced killing activity. Here, using single-cell RNA sequencing in in vivo and in vitro mouse models, we sought to dissect the impact of anti-CTLA-4 blocking, Treg depleting, and FcR engaging activity on the immune responses within tumors. We observed a rapid remodeling of the innate immune landscape as early as 24-hours post-treatment. Immune remodeling was driven mainly by FcγR-engagement, and not by Treg depletion or CTLA-4 blockade, and included reduction of suppressive macrophages and activation of type-I interferon signaling. Our findings indicate that FcγR engagement and innate immune remodeling are involved in successful anti-CTLA-4 treatment, supporting further development of optimized immunotherapy agents with these features.

Gene expression based outcome of CT-26 tumor in C57/BL6 mice after treatment with anti-PD-1 antibody, GITR-L, combination or Bispecific molecules

Project description:Co-stimulatory receptors such as GITR play key roles in regulating the effector functions of T cells. Agonistic anti-GITR antibodies have been investigated as a cancer immunotherapy with demonstrated efficacy in pre-clinical models. In human clinical trials, however, GITR agonist antibodies have shown limited therapeutic effect which may be due to a suboptimal receptor clustering-mediated signaling. To overcome this potential limitation, a rational protein engineering approach is needed to optimize GITR agonist-based immunotherapies. Here we show a novel bispecific molecule consisting of an anti-PD-1 antibody fused with a multimeric GITR ligand (anti-PD-1-GITR-L) that induces a PD-1-dependent and FcγR-independent GITR clustering, resulting in an enhanced activation, proliferation, and memory differentiation of primed antigen-specific GITR+PD-1+ T cells. The anti-PD-1-GITR-L bispecific is a PD-1 directed GITR-L construct that has a different mechanism of action (MoA) than the co-administration of anti-PD-1 plus GITR-L and demonstrated a dose-dependent immunologically driven tumor growth inhibition in syngeneic, genetically engineered and xenograft humanized mouse tumor models. Combination of anti-PD-1-GITR-L with TGFβ inhibition or chemotherapy (gemcitabine), respectively, resulted in tumor remission in immunogenically cold and checkpoint blockade resistant mouse models. Dose-dependent correlations between target saturation and Ki67 and TIGIT up-regulation on memory T cells have been observed following a single dose of anti-PD-1-GITR-L bispecific in mice and non-human primates. Anti-PD-1-GITR-L thus represents a novel bispecific approach for directing GITR agonism for cancer immunotherapy.

Human FcγRIIa mediates osteoclastogenesis through a novel noncanonical pathway independent of RANKL and inflammatory cytokines

Project description:Under physiological conditions, osteoclasts (OCs) are generated from monocytic osteoprecursors under the stimulation of RANKL and M-CSF, requiring co-stimulatory signals from Fc receptor common γ chain (FcRγ) or DNAX-activated protein 12. It has been proposed that immune complexes (ICs) directly potentiate RANKL-mediated osteoclastogenesis by triggering FcγR-coupled Fcγ receptors (FcγRs), thereby linking IC accumulation and pathological osteolysis under various disease conditions. However, whether ICs possess pro-osteoclastogenic potential independent of RANKL is unknown. Here we demonstrate that IgG ICs alone can drive the differentiation of human blood monocytes into nonclassical OCs (NOCs) phenotypically and functionally distinguishable from RANKL-induced classical OCs (COCs). This novel noncanonical osteoclastogenesis pathway is triggered by full crosslinking of human FcγRIIa (hFcγRIIa), or co-ligation of hFcγRIIa and TLR4, and signals through the Src family kinase-STAT5 axis without inducing the expression of NFATc1, a master transcription factor for the previously described osteoclastogenesis pathways. Surprisingly, IgG ICs strongly overrule the generation of COCs driven by RANKL in vitro. More importantly, TRAP+ OCs found in the inflammatory joint tissues of hFcγRIIa-transgenic mice with collagen-induced arthritis bear the NFATc1- phenotype. Our results unmask the “double faces” of IgG ICs in health and disease, and suggest a novel and important pathway for ICs contributing to pathological bone erosion in inflammatory arthritis.

Antibody-mediated blockade of the IL-23 receptor destabilizes intratumoral regulatory T cells and enhances immunotherapy

Project description:Regulatory T cells (Treg) can impede anti-tumor immunity and currently represent a major obstacle to effective cancer immunotherapy. Targeting tumor-infiltrating regulatory Treg while sparing systemic Treg represent optimal approaches to this problem. Here, we provide evidence that the interleukin 23 receptor (IL23R) expressed by tumor-infiltrating Treg promotes suppressive activity. Disruption of the IL23R results in increased responsiveness of destabilized Treg to the IL-12 cytokine, production of g-interferon (IFNg) and recruitment of CD8 T cells that inhibit tumor growth. Since the Treg destabilization pathway that is initiated by IL23R blockade is distinct and independent from the destabilization pathway coupled to Glucocorticoid-Induced TNFR-Related protein (GITR) activation, we examined the impact of coordinate induction of the two destabilization pathways on anti-tumor immune responses. Combined GITR and IL23R antibody treatment of mice inoculated with MC38 tumors resulted in robust and synergistic anti-tumor responses. These findings indicate that delineation of independent Treg destabilization pathways may allow improved approaches to the development of combination immunotherapy for cancers.

T-cell receptor repertoire analysis of advanced solid tumors in first-in-human phase 1 study of IT1208, a defucosylated humanized anti-CD4 depleting antibody [TCR-seq]

Project description:Immune checkpoint inhibitors such as anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte–associated antigen-4 and anti-programmed cell death-1 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) agents or these combinations has improved outcomes of various cancers.However, still not a few patients fail to achieve clinical benefit, this highlights the importance of additional treatment to overcome its resistance. Previously, we showed that administration of the anti-CD4 mAb alone had strong anti-tumor effects that were superior to those elicited by CD25+ Treg depletion or other immune checkpoint mAbs in B16F10, Colon 26, or Lewis lung carcinoma subcutaneous tumor models. IT1208 (IDAC Theranostics, Tokyo, Japan) is a humanized anti-CD4 immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) monoclonal antibody with a defucosylated Fc region, which markedly enhances antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity. In a first-in-human, phase I, open-label, dose-escalation study, we performed T cell repertoire analysis of T cell subsets in the tumors and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) to clarify T cell responses against IT1208 monotherapy in patients with advanced solid tumors.
