项目摘要

Our goal in this application is to test the hypothesis that neutralizing the newly identified immune-suppressive regulator fibrinogen-like protein 2 (Fgl2) in glioblastoma (GBM) following standard care chemotherapy will trigger tumor-specific resident memory T cells in the brain (bTrm cells), which allows immunological clearance of gliomas within the central nervous system and prevention of GBM recurrence. This hypothesis was raised based on our recently published papers and newly established preliminary data. In brief, we have discovered that Fgl2 is highly expressed in GBM tissues (Yan et al, JNCI, 2015) and can transform low-grade brain tumors to GBM (Latha et al, JNCI, 2018). Knockout of Fgl2 in tumor cells completely eliminates tumor progression in the brains of immune-competent mice but not in immune-deficient mice (Yan et al, Nat Commun, 2019). Our unpublished preliminary data have shown that neutralizing Fgl2 via administering T cells armed with a membrane-anchored anti-Fgl2 scFv induces bTrm cells that reject intracranial tumor cell challenge directly or after intracranial transplantation into naïve mice (see preliminary data section); the same mice are unable to reject tumors from peripheral tissue challenge. To test our central hypothesis, the following aims are proposed: Aim 1: Determine how T-aFgl2– neutralizing T-cell therapy induces bTrm cells in brains; Aim 2: Optimize the T-aFgl2–neutralizing cell therapy and develop a next-generation T-aFgl2 cell therapy for boosting safety and therapeutic efficacy. Impact: This study will yield a therapeutic candidate—an Fgl2-neutralizing cell therapy that may permanently prevent tumor recurrence—the key deadly cause of GBM patient death. Considering that Fgl2 can be detected in almost all GBMs, with most having very high levels, this candidate therapeutic will be important. This study will also further mechanistically elucidate how Fgl2-neutralizing cell therapy induces bTrm cells and how we can make additional improvements to move this therapy into the next phase. Ultimately, this novel field will transform the treatment of GBM.

我们在此应用程序中的目标是检验中和新确定的免疫抑制的假设标准护理化疗后胶质母细胞瘤（GBM）中的调节纤维蛋白原样蛋白2（FGL2）将触发大脑中肿瘤特异性的居民记忆T细胞（BTRM细胞），该细胞允许免疫学清除中枢神经系统中的胶质瘤和GBM的预防。在我们最近发表的论文和新建的初步数据中。在GBM组织中高度表达（Yan等，JNCI，2015年）和罐头低度脑肿瘤到GBM （Latha等人，JNCI，2018年）。免疫能力的小鼠，但在免疫缺陷的小鼠中没有（Yan等人，Nat Commun，2019年）初步数据表明，通过武装膜锚定的管理T细胞中和FGL2 抗FGL2 SCFV诱导直接拒绝颅内肿瘤细胞夏琳或颅内后的BTRM细胞将其移植到幼稚的小鼠中（请参阅预后数据部分）；外围组织挑战。为了检验我们的中心假设，提出了以下目的：目标1：确定t-afgl2-如何中和T细胞疗法诱导大脑诱导BTRM细胞；治疗并开发下一代T-AFGL2细胞疗法，以促进安全性和治疗效率。影响：这项研究将产生一种治疗性候选者-FGL2中和细胞中可能会产生可能永久防止肿瘤复发 - 考虑到FGL2的关键原因。在几乎所有GBM中都可以检测到，大多数人具有很高的水平，这种候选治疗非常重要。这项研究将进一步机械地阐明FGL2中和细胞疗法如何诱导BTRM细胞和我们如何进行额外的改进以将治疗转移到thext阶段。将改变GBM的处理。
