项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Blood cancers account for approximately 10% of all malignancies. In addition, non-malignant bone marrow failure diseases such as aplastic anaemia, or immunodeficiency diseases such as severe combined immunodeficiency, are life-threatening diseases and allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is a preferred curative therapy for these serious conditions. BMT outcomes are limited by transplant related complications, mainly graft-versus- host disease (GVHD) and opportunistic infections. Indeed, 15-20% of BMT patients will develop severe GVHD that is fatal, particularly when involving the GI tract. Current prevention and treatment of GVHD rely on the broad suppression of T cells and remains suboptimal. The initiation and maintenance of T cell responses are dependent on activities mediated by antigen-presenting cells (APC) but the types of APC that initiate GVHD and the factors that promote their function is currently limited. This is the focus of this proposal. In particular, we will build on our preliminary data to test the hypothesis that epithelial APC in the ileum initiate lethal Th1 dependent acute GVHD. We will utilize cutting-edge mechanistic preclinical murine studies with parallel clinical analysis, using advanced flow cytometry, single cell RNA/CITE-seq and ATAC-seq with new spatial protein and sequencing platforms to focus on antigen presentation in the gastrointestinal tract, identifying clinically tractable pathways that will prevent the development of lethal acute GVHD. This R01 renewal will continue to identify new, rapidly testing therapeutic approaches to prevent GVHD based on the inhibition of disease initiation (i.e. alloantigen presentation) rather than broad T cell suppression in the late effector phase of disease, as is current practice.

项目摘要/摘要血液癌约占所有恶性肿瘤的10％。另外，非恶性骨髓衰竭疾病，例如性贫血或免疫缺陷疾病，例如严重的联合免疫缺陷，威胁生命的疾病和同种异体骨髓移植（BMT）是首选的治疗疗法对于这些严重的条件。 BMT结果受到移植相关并发症的限制，主要是移植物 - 宿主病（GVHD）和机会性感染。实际上，15-20％的BMT患者会出现严重的GVHD 那是致命的，尤其是在涉及胃肠道的情况下。当前的预防和治疗GVHD取决于广泛的抑制T细胞并保持次优。 T细胞响应的启动和维护取决于关于由抗原呈递细胞（APC）介导的活动，但启动GVHD的APC类型和因素目前，促进他们的功能是有限的。这是该提议的重点。特别是，我们将建立在我们的基础上初步数据测试了回肠中上皮APC启动致命Th1依赖性急性GVHD的假设。我们将使用先进的流式细胞仪，单细胞RNA/CITE-SEQ和ATAC-SEQ具有新的空间蛋白和测序平台专注于胃肠道中的抗原表现，识别可防止的临床障碍途径致命急性GVHD的发展。此R01更新将继续确定新的，快速测试的治疗性基于疾病起始的抑制（即同种抗原表现）来预防GVHD的方法与当前的实践一样，在疾病晚期效应阶段中抑制了宽T细胞。
