    Abstract: Virtually all uropathogenic strains of Escherichia coli , the primary cause of cystitis, assemble adhesive surface organelles called type 1 pili that contain the FimH adhesin. Sera from animals vaccinated with candidate FimH vaccines inhibited uropathogenic E. coli from binding to human bladder cells in vitro. Immunization with FimH reduced in vivo colonization of the bladder mucosa by more than 99 percent in a murine cystitis model, and immunoglobulin G to FimH was detected in urinary samples from protected mice. Furthermore, passive systemic administration of immune sera to FimH also resulted in reduced bladder colonization by uropathogenic E. coli . This approach may represent a means of preventing recurrent and acute infections of the urogenital mucosa.

    Abstract: Pneumococcal adherence to alveolar epithelial cells and nasopharyngeal epithelial cells has been well characterized. However, the interaction of Streptococcus pneumoniae with bronchial epithelial cells has not been studied. We have now shown that pneumococci bind specifically to a human bronchial epithelial cell line (BEAS-2B cells). Pneumococci adhered to BEAS-2B cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner. These results suggest that the bronchial epithelium may serve as an additional site of attachment for pneumococci and demonstrate the utility of the BEAS-2B cell line for studying mechanisms of pneumococcal infection.

    Abstract: Microbial targets for protective humoral immunity are typically surface-localized proteins and contain common sequence motifs related to their secretion or surface binding. Exploiting the whole genome sequence of the human bacterial pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae , we identified 130 open reading frames encoding proteins with secretion motifs or similarity to predicted virulence factors. Mice were immunized with 108 of these proteins, and 6 conferred protection against disseminated S. pneumoniae infection. Flow cytometry confirmed the surface localization of several of these targets. Each of the six protective antigens showed broad strain distribution and immunogenicity during human infection. Our results validate the use of a genomic approach for the identification of novel microbial targets that elicit a protective immune response. These new antigens may play a role in the development of improved vaccines against S. pneumoniae .

    Abstract: TPS2659 Background: Leukocyte-Associated Immunoglobulin-like Receptor (LAIR)-1 and LAIR-2 are members of the Leukocyte Receptor Complex (LRC) (An & Brodsky, 2016). LAIR-1 is a co-inhibitory receptor expressed on several subsets of immune cells, and functions to delimit immune responses (Meyaard et al., 1997). LAIR-2 is a secreted protein with homology to the transmembrane protein LAIR-1 (Lebbink et al., 2008). In cancer, it is hypothesized that LAIR-1 expression on several subsets of leukocytes prevents optimal immune responses by limiting both innate and adaptive immune functionality. LAIR-1 serves to suppress anti-tumor immunity through the inhibition of stimulatory signaling pathways. Specifically, LAIR-1 is a checkpoint and adhesion receptor on T cells that limits T cell activation and increases adhesion to collagens (Meyaard, 2008). LAIR-2 is capable of blocking LAIR-1 functional interactions with ligands, resulting in improved immune function on multiple immune cell subsets. Dysregulation of LAIR-1 ligands in the tumor microenvironment results in excessive production of collagens and complement C1q as well as altered forms of collagens, that leads to immune inhibition through binding to LAIR-1+ immune cells. NC410 is a dimeric form of the LAIR-2 protein fused to a human Fc domain of the immunoglobulin (Ig) subtype IgG1. The rationale for developing NC410 as a cancer therapeutic is based on nonclinical data demonstrating LAIR-1 signaling blockade can improve the immune response. Because LAIR-2 binds to ligands shared with LAIR-1 with increased affinity, NC410 acts as a decoy receptor for LAIR-1 ligands releasing suppression from myeloid cells and T cells and promoting anti-tumor immunity. NC410 may also mediate remodeling of the tumor extracellular matrix, further contributing to anti-tumor activity. Methods: This is a multi-center, first in human, phase 1/2, open-label, single-armed study to determine the safety and tolerability, define maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or pharmacologically active dose, assess preliminary efficacy, and explore predictive and pharmacodynamic biomarkers of NC410 in subjects with advanced or metastatic solid tumors. Key eligibility criteria include measurable disease based on RECIST v1.1 and being able to consent for collection of biopsies at screening and on treatment. Phase 1 is a classic 3+3 dose escalation design to determine the safety, tolerability, DLT, MTD and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) (NCT04408599). Ongoing exploratory analyses include the assessment of predictive biomarkers associated with treatment benefit, and pharmacodynamic markers associated with study drug activity. Phase 2 is going to enroll ovarian, colorectal, NSCLC, H & N, and gastric carcinomas and other tumors depending on biomarker data available from the Phase 1 part of the study. Clinical trial information: 04408599.

    Abstract: Introduction: Siglecs are sialic acid-binding transmembrane receptors that regulate the functions of innate and adaptive immune system through the recognition of glycan ligands. Siglec-15 has been recently described as an immune suppressive molecule that shares molecular structure with PD-L1, but its role in NSCLC is still unknown. In this study, we determined Siglec-15 expression in three retrospective NSCLC cohorts and evaluated its association with mutation status, major clinicopathologic characteristics and survival. Experimental procedures: We used multiplexed automated quantitative immunofluorescence (QIF) to develop a validated assay for Siglec-15 measurement and used it to assess Siglec-15 expression and its association to major clinicopathologic variables and survival in three NSCLC cohorts of over 600 patients. Additionally, we investigated the correlation of Siglec-15 expression with tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, PD-L1, B7-H3 and B7-H4 tumor expression. Results: In our study, Siglec-15 tumor positivity was found in 12.5%, 13.7% and 22.8% of NSCLC cohort patients. Siglec-15 expression was higher in EGFR mutant and EGFR/KRAS wild type tumors compared to KRAS mutants but was not associated with any other major clinicopathological characteristics. Siglec-15 followed a mutually exclusive pattern of expression with PD-L1, B7-H3 and B7-H4 (co-expression in 3.1%, 13.2% and 7.7% of the patients respectively), while high levels were not correlated with lymphocyte infiltration or T-cell activation, suggesting a different upregulation mechanism not mediated by IFN-gamma. Conclusions: Siglec-15 is a protein expressed with high frequency in NSCLC. Co-expression of Siglec-15 with PD-L1, B7-H3 and B7-H4 is relatively rare, suggesting that Siglec-15 has distinct and non-redundant features compared to other B7 family members.

    Abstract: 3044 Background: PD-1/B7-H1 (PD-L1) axis blockade can reinvigorate T cells, and overcome tumor immune evasion of multiple tumor types. AMP-224 is the first recombinant B7-DC-Fc fusion protein tested in patients that binds to and modulates the PD-1 axis through a unique MOA. The MoA hypothesis for AMP-224 is depletion of PD-1high expressing T-cells representing exhausted effector cells. Subsequent replenishment of the T-cell pool with functional T-cells may restore immune function. Methods: Patients with advanced solid tumors received low dose CTX on Day 0, followed by AMP-224 (IV infusion) on Days 1 and 15 of each 28-day cycle in doses ranging from 0.3 to 30 mg/kg. Blood samples were assessed serially for changes in lymphocyte subsets, PD-1 HI T cells and T cell effector function. IHC staining of paired biopsies for B7-H1, CD8, PD-1, CD4 and FoxP3 was performed to assess immunological status of the tumor at baseline and following treatment and then relative to peripheral readouts. Results: 42 patients (83% melanoma) were treated with varying doses of AMP-224 [0.3 mg/kg (n = 6); 1 mg/kg (n=4); 3 mg/kg (n = 4); 10 mg/kg (n = 22); 30 mg/kg (n = 6)]. Infusion reactions were common (69% across dose cohorts) and occurred mostly at higher doses (86% at the 10 mg/kg dose). No drug-related inflammatory adverse events were identified contrary to PD-1 blocking antibodies. Fresh pre-treatment biopsies were collected from 33/42 (78.5%) patients and paired biopsies have been collected thus far from 19/36 (52.7%) patients on study. 31% of baseline tumors were B7-H1+. Several PD readouts in the periphery showed reductions in PD-1 HI cells and emergence of a functional T cell response (increases in IFNg+, TNFa+, IL-2+ CD4 and CD8 T cells) in individual patients where partial response, stable disease, and mixed responses were seen. Conclusions: Data from peripheral readouts is consistent with hypothesized AMP-224 MoA. B7-H1+ was not always predictive of functional response to AMP-224 immunotherapy. Comprehensive PD readouts and evaluation of PK/PD relationships will be presented and may ultimately predict restoration of immune competence even in the presence of initial disease progression. Clinical trial information: NCT01352884.

    Abstract: Siglec-15 (Sig15) has been implicated as an immune checkpoint expressed in solid tumor-infiltrating macrophages and is being targeted in clinical trials with mAbs to normalize the tumor immune microenvironment and stimulate antitumor immunity. However, the role of Sig15 in hematologic malignancies remains undefined. Sig15 mRNA and protein expression levels in hematologic malignancies were determined from publicly available databases, cell lines, and primary patient samples. Human B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) cell lines were used to identify signaling pathways involved in the regulation of Sig15 expression. Secreted/soluble Sig15 and cytokine levels were measured from the plasma of children with leukemia and healthy controls. Knockdown and knockout of Siglec15 in a murine model of B-ALL was used to evaluate the effect of leukemia-derived Sig15 on the immune response to leukemia. We observed pathologic overexpression of Sig15 in a variety of hematologic malignancies, including primary B-ALL samples. This overexpression was driven by NFκB activation, which also increased the surface localization of Sig15. Secreted/soluble Sig15 was found to circulate at elevated levels in the plasma of children with B-ALL and correlated with an immune-suppressive cytokine milieu. Genetic inhibition of Sig15 in murine B-ALL promoted clearance of the leukemia by the immune system and a marked reversal of the immune-privileged leukemia bone marrow niche, including expanded early effector CD8+ T cells and reduction of immunosuppressive cytokines. Thus, Sig15 is a novel, potent immunosuppressive molecule active in leukemia that may be targeted therapeutically to activate T lymphocytes against leukemia cells. Significance: We demonstrate that Sig15 is overexpressed in hematologic malignancies driven by NFκB, is required for immune evasion in a mouse model of leukemia, and, for the first time, that it circulates at high levels in the plasma of children with leukemia.
