摘要: Provided are methods and compositions for treating cancer in a subject in need thereof. One of the top gene products in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is KLRB1 (also known as CD161), a C-type lectin protein that binds to CLEC2D. Binding of CLEC2D to the KLRB1 receptor inhibits the cytotoxic function of NK cells as well as cytokine secretion. KLRB1 is only expressed by small subpopulations of human blood T cells, and consequently little is known about the function of this receptor in T cells. However, preliminary data demonstrate that KLRB1 expression is induced in T cells within the GBM microenvironment. In an exemplary embodiment, a method is provided comprising administering an agent capable of blocking the interaction of KLRB1 with its ligand. The agent may comprise an antibody or fragment thereof, which may bind KLRB1 or CLEC2D.

摘要: The present invention provides novel compositions and methods based on the discovery of the mechanisms and gene expression programs associated with synovial sarcoma. In particular, core oncogenic programs were expressed by a distinct subpopulation of malignant cells and associated with poor clinical outcome, a cell cycle program distinguished cycling from non-cycling cells, with cycling cells having a tendency to be poorly differentiated and indicative of increased risk of metastatic disease, and a (de)differentiation program that can identify poorly differentiated cells, the absence of which was prognostic of metastasis free survival. Methods of treatment include use of HDAC and CDK4/6 inhibitors to block oncogenic program to selectively target synovial sarcoma cells. Finally, macrophages and T cells can mimic the effect of SS18-SSX inhibition by secreting TNFa and IFNg, which allows for adoptive cell therapy to provide cells with increased expression of TNFa and IFNg.

摘要: The present invention advantageously provides for novel gene signatures, tools and methods for the treatment and prognosis of epithelial tumors. Applicants have used single cell RNA-seq to reveal novel expression programs of malignant, stromal and immune cells in the HNSCC tumor ecosystem. Malignant cells varied in expression of programs related to stress, hypoxia and epithelial differentiation. A partial EMT-like program (p-EMT) was discovered that was expressed in cells residing at the leading edge of tumors. Applicants unexpectedly linked the p-EMT state to metastasis and adverse clinical features that may be used to direct treatment of epithelial cancers (e.g., HNSCC). Applicants also show that metastases are dynamically regulated by the tumor microenvironment (TME). Finally, a computational modeling approach was developed that allows analysis of malignant cells in bulk sequencing samples.

摘要: The present invention provides novel compositions and methods based on the discovery of the mechanisms and gene expression programs associated with homeostatic ILC2s and proinflammatory ILC2s that drive tissue inflammation. Immune signaling abnormalities in the small intestine can trigger chronic type 2 inflammation. Applicants analyzed 58,067 immune cells from the mouse small intestine by single-cell RNA-seq at steady state and after induction of a type 2 inflammatory reaction to ovalbumin. Cell type composition and cell programs shifted in response to inflammation, especially in ILC2s. A key transcript in the inflammation-induced program in intestinal KLRG1+ILC2s was exon 5 of Calca, encoding the alpha-calcitonin gene-related peptide (a-CGRP). a-CGRP antagonized IL-25-induced activation of intestinal ILC2s and reduced their frequency in an ovalbumin reaction model. α-CGRP activated a cAMP response, which suppressed ILC2 proliferation. In homeostasis, α-CGRP was expressed by two subsets of ChAT+ enteric neurons, and genetic perturbation of α-CGRP increased the proportion of intestinal ILC2s and of Tuft cells. The results demonstrate that a-CGRP-mediated neuronal signaling suppresses ILC2 expansion and maintains type 2 immunity homeostasis.

摘要: The invention involves a method for modulating leukocyte activity, comprising delivering to a leukocyte a vector containing nucleic acid molecule(s), whereby the leukocyte contains Cas9 and the vector expresses one or more RNAs to guide the Cas9 to introduce mutations in one or more target genetic loci in the leukocyte, thereby modulating expression of one or more genes expressed in the leukocyte. The invention also involves identifying genes associated with leukocyte responses and experimental modeling of aberrant leukocyte activation and diseases associated with leukocytes by introducing mutations into leukocytes. The invention comprehends testing putative treatments with such models, e.g., testing putative chemical compounds that may be pharmaceutically relevant for treatment or gene therapy that may be relevant for treatment, or combinations thereof. The invention allows for the study of genetic diseases and putative treatments to better understand and alleviate leukocyte associated diseases.
