Project description:Reconstitution of stem cells and enhancement of the barrier function of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is critical to the resolution of intestinal acute graft-versus-host disease (aGvHD). Previously, our group has shown in murine models that type II innate lymphoid cells (ILC2) cells generate proteins in the GI tract that enhanced GI tract barrier function and diminished the expansion and function of pro-inflammatory donor cells when given to allogeneic stem cell transplant recipients. Therefore, the infusion of donor ILC2 cells could treat or prevent GI tract acute GvHD, but for this approach to be clinically applicable, robust expansion of a homogenous population of human ILC2 cells is needed. Here, we describe a method for the rapid expansion of a uniform population of human ILC2 cells which decrease GvHD in (NOD scid gamma mouse) NSG mice. The addition of IL-4 to the culture was critical to prevent the expansion of pro-inflammatory ILC1-like cells. Our approach should allow for the evaluation of human ILC2 cells to treat therapy-resistant GI tract acute GvHD.

Project description:BACKGROUND - IL-6 mediates graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in experimental allogeneic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT) and is an attractive therapeutic target. METHODS - A registered phase I/II study (ACTRN12612000726853) of IL-6 receptor (IL-6R) neutralizing antibody administration on day -1 to patients receiving full or reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) and alloSCT from HLA-matched sibling or unrelated donors with standard cyclosporin and methotrexate GVHD prophylaxis. The primary endpoint was incidence of grade II-IV acute GVHD. Outcomes were compared to a non-randomized but contemporaneous group of study patients receiving the same alloSCT in the absence of IL-6R mAb. FINDINGS - Cytokine and pharmacokinetic analysis confirmed transient IL-6 dysregulation in the first month after alloSCT with complete inhibition following IL-6R mAb administration. With median follow up of 497 days, the incidence of grade II-IV GVHD was 12.5% in recipients of IL-6R inhibition (n = 48) versus 41.5% in the (n = 53) control cohort (P = 0.001). Low rates of acute GVHD were noted in patients receiving IL-6R inhibition relative to control patients following both myeloablative (12.5% vs. 46.4%, P = 0.03) and RIC (12.5% vs. 36.0%, P = 0.04). The incidence of severe (grade III/IV) acute GVHD was 4.2% in recipients of IL-6R inhibition versus 20.8% in the control cohort (P = 0.012). Relapse and chronic GVHD were unchanged. Immune reconstitution was preserved in recipients of IL-6R inhibition, but qualitatively modified with suppression of known pathogenic STAT3-dependent pathways. INTERPRETATION - IL-6 is the principal detectable and dysregulated cytokine secreted after alloSCT and its inhibition is a potential new and simple strategy to protect from acute GVHD despite robust immune reconstitution and a sustained graft-versus-leukemia effect.

Project description:Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) in the lung are stimulated by inhaled allergens. ILC2s do not directly recognize allergens but they are stimulated by cytokines including interleukin (IL)-33 released by damaged epithelium.Lung ILC2s, upon stimulation, produce T helper 2 cell-type cytokines inducing T cell independent allergic lung inflammation. We now report that lung ILC2s, upon activation by an allergen or IL-33, acquire the properties of memory cells. The activated ILC2s initially proliferate and secrete cytokines, followed by a contraction phase as they stop producing cytokines. Nevertheless, some persist long after the resolution of the inflammation and acquire intrinsic capacities to react to unrelated allergens more vigorously than naïve ILC2s, thus mediating a severe allergic lung inflammation. Gene expression profiles of the previously activated ILC2s show a gene signature of memory T cells. These antigen non-specific memory ILC2s may explain why asthma patients are often sensitized to multiple allergens. ILC2s were isolated from mouse lungs from naive and IL-33 injected mice 4 days, 14 days and 4 months after the initial treatment. RNA was extracted from those ILC2 populations and analyzed for gene expression profiles. RNA was also extracted from ILC2s isolated from lung draining mediastinal lymph node (mLN) 4 days and 14 days after IL-33 treatment.
