项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY Highly active antiretroviral therapy has reduced morbidity and mortality from HIV/AIDS but does not lead to a cure. The persistence of the virus within latent reservoirs even in well-treated individuals results in a lifelong commitment to these drug regimens. As a consequence, patients remain burdened by co-morbidities and exposed to the negative social issues that come with being HIV-positive. Therefore, there is an urgent need for the development of therapeutic strategies capable of eradicating virus from individuals, which would greatly improve the lives of people living with HIV/AIDS. In response to this need, we propose to combine the actions of latency reversing agents (LRAs), broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs), and activated natural killer (NK) cells within a single therapeutic platform. More specifically, we propose to use bioengineering strategies to design an ensemble biohybrid therapeutic wherein LRAs and bnAbs are packaged within poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticle depots (nanodepots) and then attached on to the surface of NK cells. We anticipate that the co-localization of LRAs with NK cell activation and local bnAb presence will trigger a more effective and coordinated eradication of persistent HIV reservoirs. In the R21 phase of this project, we propose to engineer NK-nanodepots encapsulating LRAs and bnAbs as off-the-shelf biohybrids that retain the phenotype and function of the constituent NK cells and encapsulated LRAs and bnAbs. The realization of a functional ensemble biohybrid therapeutic that successfully coordinates the actions of LRAs, bnAbs, and NK cells will enable us to proceed to the R33 phase of the project where we will test the efficacy of the ensemble biohybrid therapeutic in eradicating the HIV reservoir in vitro and in a humanized mouse model. Successful completion of this phase of the project will result in a novel therapeutic platform for eradicating persistent HIV reservoirs and will open the way for the translation of our platform to the design and conduct of future clinical trials.

项目概要高效抗逆转录病毒疗法降低了艾滋病毒/艾滋病的发病率和死亡率，但并未导致艾滋病毒/艾滋病的发病率和死亡率下降。治愈。即使在治疗良好的个体中，病毒在潜伏病毒库中的持续存在也会导致终生感染。对这些药物治疗方案的承诺。结果，患者仍然承受着合并症的负担暴露于艾滋病毒呈阳性带来的负面社会问题。因此，迫切需要开发能够从个体中根除病毒的治疗策略，这将极大地促进改善艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染者的生活。针对这一需求，我们建议将行动结合起来潜伏期逆转剂 (LRA)、广泛中和抗体 (bnAb) 和激活的自然杀伤剂 (NK) 单一治疗平台内的细胞。更具体地说，我们建议使用生物工程策略设计一种整体生物混合疗法，其中 LRA 和 bnAb 包装在聚（乳酸-乙醇酸共聚物）内酸）（PLGA）纳米颗粒仓库（nanonodepots），然后附着到 NK 细胞的表面。我们预计 LRA 与 NK 细胞激活和局部 bnAb 存在的共定位将触发更有效的协调一致地消灭持久性艾滋病毒储存库。在该项目的R21阶段，我们建议设计 NK 纳米节点，将 LRA 和 bnAb 封装为保留表型的现成生物杂交体以及组成 NK 细胞和封装的 LRA 和 bnAb 的功能。函数式的实现成功协调 LRA、bnAb 和 NK 细胞作用的整体生物混合疗法将使我们能够进入该项目的 R33 阶段，在此阶段我们将测试整体生物混合动力的功效治疗在体外和人源化小鼠模型中根除艾滋病毒储存库。顺利完成该项目的这一阶段将产生一个新的治疗平台，用于根除持续存在的艾滋病毒储存库和将为我们的平台转化为未来临床试验的设计和进行开辟道路。
