项目摘要

ABSTRACT Current pharmaceutical agents that are used for the treatment of immune-mediated inflammatory conditions including autoimmune diseases generally do not lead to remission and frequently carry toxic side effects. Here we propose a strategy that can harness the capacity of the immune system to induce immunoregulatory response that can suppress immune hyperactivity and chronic inflammation in vivo. The product that we propose consists of nanoparticles (NPs) targeted to immunoregulatory cells for their expansion and functional activity in vitro and in vivo. Our approach to generate and expand functional immunoregulatory cells that become impaired in autoimmune diseases should contribute to restoring immune homeostasis and improve disease outcomes. This approach is especially designed to treat systemic lupus erythematosus. The proof-of-concept for this Phase 1 studies will be to show that our cell-targeted NPs can markedly expand ex vivo both CD4+ and CD8+ Tregs, and TGF-ß producing NK regulatory cells that we recently described. Complementary experiments in humanized mice will address the in vivo functional efficacy of those NP-induced immunoregulatory cells in suppressing effector immune responses in vivo, including in an animal model of human lupus. By demonstrating that NP-expanded human immunoregulatory cells are functional in vivo in humanized mice, we propose a new nanoimmunotherapeutic approach to restore immune regulation and induce remission in autoimmune disease. Importantly, this in vivo cell-targeted strategy has the potential to overcome the undesired side effects of the broadly non-specific, anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive drugs presently used to treat autoimmune diseases.

抽象的目前用于治疗免疫介导炎症的药物包括自身免疫性疾病在内的疾病通常不会导致缓解，并且经常携带有毒物质在这里，我们提出了一种可以利用免疫系统诱导副作用的策略。免疫调节反应，可以抑制体内免疫机能亢进和慢性炎症。我们提出的产品由针对免疫调节细胞的纳米颗粒 (NP) 组成它们在体外和体内的扩增和功能活性。在自身免疫性疾病中受损的功能性免疫调节细胞应有助于这种方法是专门设计的，旨在恢复免疫稳态并改善疾病结果。治疗系统性红斑狼疮这一第一阶段研究的概念验证将显示。我们的细胞靶向 NP 可以在体外显着扩增 CD4+ 和 CD8+ Tregs 以及 TGF-ß 产生我们最近描述的人源化 NK 调节细胞的补充实验。小鼠将解决这些 NP 诱导的免疫调节细胞的体内功能功效抑制体内效应免疫反应，包括在人类狼疮动物模型中。证明 NP 扩增的人免疫调节细胞在人源化体内具有功能小鼠，我们提出了一种新的纳米免疫治疗方法来恢复免疫调节并诱导重要的是，这种体内细胞靶向策略有可能缓解自身免疫性疾病。克服广泛非特异性、抗炎和免疫抑制药物目前用于治疗自身免疫性疾病。
