项目摘要
Project Summary: Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) is an effective form of
immunotherapy that is potentially curative for malignant (e.g. leukemia, lymphoma) and non-malignant
conditions (e.g. anemia, immunodeficiencies). However, graft‐versus‐host disease (GvHD) remains a major
deleterious side-effect for many patients. While studying GvHD in murine allo-HCT models, we surprisingly
discovered an important role for Galectin-3 (Gal-3) in mitigating GvHD. Gal-3 is expressed by hematopoietic
and non-hematopoietic cells and is known to influence innate and adaptive immunity. Interestingly, its
contribution to GvHD is unknown. In murine allo-HCT experiments, recipient mice were reconstituted with T
cell depleted bone marrow (TCD-BM) and T cells from wild type (WT) or Gal-3 deficient mice. I discovered that
Gal-3 deficiency in donor T-cells significantly exacerbated the severity and mortality of GvHD and that Gal-3 is
important for protecting recipient tissues from GvHD. Based on my preliminary data, the goal of this study is to
explore a new paradigm regarding the role of Gal-3 in GvHD after allo-HCT. I hypothesize that Gal-3 is the key
regulator of GvHD that modulates both donor and recipient hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cell functions
and decreases GvHD severity and mortality. Therefore, I will study murine models and human HCT patients to
pursue three aims. Aim 1 will explore the cellular mechanism(s) by which Gal-3 signaling impacts GvHD. I will
use Gal-3 deficient mice as donors to determine how Gal-3 signaling affects the functions of major T cell
subsets known to dictate the onset and severity of GVHD, including CD4+, CD8+ and CD4+Foxp3+ regulatory T
cells. Aim 2 will evaluate the therapeutic potential of manipulating Gal-3 signaling to modulate GvHD and the
graft versus tumor (GvT) effect. To increase the translatability of this work, I established a xenotransplantation
system using humanized NSG-HLA-A2 mice as HCT recipients to examine GvHD severity induced by human
immune cells. Aim 3 will analyze the clinical association of Gal-3 with GvHD severity after allo-HCT. I will
measure Gal-3 plasma levels in 200 de-identified allogeneic HCT patients and analyze the relationship
between Gal-3 levels and clinical outcomes including GvHD incidence and severity, engraftment, and infection.
In summary, this project will not only improve our understanding of the biology of allo-HCT, but my results may
identify a new biomarker which will help identify patients at risk for developing severe GvHD after HCT.
Moreover, this research may lead to a novel therapeutic rationale for modulating Gal-3 signaling to control
GvHD. This project will be carried out under the supervision of the candidate's primary mentor Dr. Elizabeth
Repasky, co-mentor Dr. Philip McCarthy, and advisory committee including Drs. Bruce Blazer, Pawel Kalinski,
Theresa Hahn and Jonathan Bramson. By completing the training outlined in this application (K99), I will obtain
the knowledge and skills required to take the initial steps toward scientific autonomy in the subsequent phase
(R00), and successfully complete the transition from a postdoctoral trainee to an independent researcher.
项目概述:异基因造血细胞移植(allo-HCT)是一种有效的
可能治愈恶性肿瘤(如白血病、淋巴瘤)和非恶性肿瘤的免疫疗法
疾病(如贫血、免疫缺陷)。然而,移植物抗宿主病(GvHD)仍然是一个主要的
对许多患者有副作用。在研究小鼠allo-HCT模型中的GvHD时,我们惊讶地发现,
发现半乳糖凝集素-3(Gal-3)在减轻GvHD中的重要作用。Gal-3由造血细胞表达,
和非造血细胞,并且已知影响先天性和适应性免疫。有趣的是,其
对GVHD的贡献是未知的。在小鼠allo-HCT实验中,用T
细胞耗尽的骨髓(TCD-BM)和来自野生型(WT)或Gal-3缺陷小鼠的T细胞。我发现
供体T细胞中的Gal-3缺乏显著加剧了GvHD的严重性和死亡率,并且Gal-3是GvHD的一部分。
对于保护受体组织免受GvHD非常重要。根据我的初步数据,本研究的目标是
探索关于Gal-3在allo-HCT后GvHD中的作用的新范例。我假设Gal-3是
一种GvHD的调节物,调节供体和受体的造血和非造血细胞功能
并降低GvHD的严重程度和死亡率。因此,我将研究小鼠模型和人类HCT患者,
追求三个目标。目的1将探索Gal-3信号传导影响GvHD的细胞机制。我会
使用Gal-3缺陷小鼠作为供体以确定Gal-3信号传导如何影响主要T细胞的功能,
已知决定GVHD发作和严重程度的亚群,包括CD 4+、CD 8+和CD 4 + Foxp 3+调节性T细胞亚群。
细胞目的2将评估操纵Gal-3信号传导以调节GvHD和GvHD的治疗潜力。
移植物抗肿瘤(GVT)效应。为了增加这项工作的可翻译性,我建立了一个异种移植,
使用人源化NSG-HLA-A2小鼠作为HCT受体的系统来检查由人类诱导的GvHD严重性
免疫细胞。目的3分析Gal-3与allo-HCT后GvHD严重程度的临床相关性。我会
检测200例去身份异基因HCT患者血浆Gal-3水平,并分析其相关性。
Gal-3水平和临床结果之间的关系,包括GvHD发生率和严重程度、植入和感染。
总之,这个项目不仅将提高我们对allo-HCT生物学的理解,而且我的结果可能
确定一种新的生物标志物,这将有助于识别HCT后有发生严重GvHD风险的患者。
此外,这项研究可能会导致一种新的治疗原理,调节Gal-3信号转导,以控制
