PROJECT SUMMARY – PROJECT 1 The effective treatment of glioblastoma (GBM) using oncolytic Herpes Simplex Virus (oHSV) will almost certainly require both broad intratumoral virus spread and tumor destruction and virus-induced anti-tumor immunity. The tumor microenvironment (TME) must be supportive of adaptive immune responses through the recruitment of active tumor antigen presenting cells and responsive CD8+ T cells. However, GBM tumors are notoriously “cold” tumors that are metabolically adept at preventing the development of a pro-inflammatory TME. This immune- suppressive GBM TME exhibits upregulated expression of (1) the checkpoint proteins TIGIT and PD-1, and their respective inhibitory ligands, and (2) the ectoenzymes CD39 and CD73 that increase local production of adenosine (ADO); both pathways confer immunosuppression and tumor aggression. Here we propose to improve the anti-tumor activity of rQNestin34.5v.1 an F strain oHSV-1. This virus has been engineered to allow tumor-specific expression of natural viral genes that thwart innate anti-viral cellular responses (e.g. ICP34.5). rQNestin34.5v.2, a modified version of rQNestin34.5v.1 with GFP removed, was shown to be safe in a patient trial with evidence of intratumoral viral antigen expression for extended time periods (NCT03152318). Three aims are designed to evaluate rQNestin34.5v.1 enhancement in patient derived xenograft (PDX) models and in syngeneic GBM mouse models. We propose in Aim 1, to test the hypothesis that syncytial mutant variants of rQNestin34.5v.1 will exhibit enhanced oncolytic activity, augmenting viral spread and persistence within the tumor. In Aim 2, we propose to test the hypothesis that the therapeutic efficacy of rQNestin34.5v.1 can be improved by arming the vector with a combination of IL-12, the checkpoint inhibitors (CPI) anti-PD-1 and anti- TIGIT (Aim 2A), or with the adenosine deaminase (ADA) gene (Aim 2B). The efficacy of ADA-armed oHSV will be tested in combination with oHSV expressing PTEN and anti-CD73 (oHSV-P10-CD73; Project 3) and depending on the outcome, both arming genes will be introduced into a single vector for treatment efficacy studies. Analysis of human clinical trial data has allowed Project 2 to define a TME profile characteristic of rQNestin34.5v2 responders, demonstrating a correlation between patient response and increased TCR diversity. In Aim 3, we will test the hypothesis that rQNestin34.5v.1 and armed derivatives will increase the accumulation of effector T cell populations and induce clonal expansion of T cells that recognize viral- and tumor-specific antigens. Aim 3 analyses will compare the armed vectors generated in Aim 2 to those generated by Projects 3 and 4 and will allow us to establish correlations across multiple oHSV variants with respect to clonal T cell expansion and animal survival. The proposed vector modifications may substantially improve rQNestin34.5v.1 performance and effectively increase the number of tumors responsive to oHSV treatment, thereby potentially providing a novel vector suitable for clinical development.

项目摘要--项目1 利用溶瘤单纯疱疹病毒(OHSV)治疗胶质母细胞瘤(GBM)几乎是必然的 需要广泛的肿瘤内病毒传播和肿瘤破坏以及病毒诱导的抗肿瘤免疫。这个 肿瘤微环境(TME)必须通过募集 活跃的肿瘤抗原提呈细胞和反应性CD8+T细胞。然而，基底膜肿瘤是出了名的“冷”。 在新陈代谢方面善于防止促炎的TME发展的肿瘤。这种免疫力- 抑制的GBM TME表现出：(1)检查点蛋白TIGIT和PD-1及其 和(2)胞外酶CD39和CD73，它们能增加局部生产 腺苷(ADO)；这两个途径都有免疫抑制和肿瘤侵袭作用。在此，我们建议 提高rQNestin34.5v.1和F株OHSV-1的抗肿瘤活性。这种病毒被设计成能让 天然病毒基因的肿瘤特异性表达，阻碍先天抗病毒细胞反应(例如ICP34.5)。 RQNestin34.5v.2，rQNestin34.5v.1的修改版本，去掉了GFP，被证明在患者中是安全的 有证据表明肿瘤内病毒抗原长期表达的试验(NCT03152318)。三 AIMS旨在评估rQNestin34.5v.1在患者来源的异种移植(PDX)模型和 同基因GBM小鼠模型。我们在目标1中提出了一种假设，即合胞突变体 RQNestin34.5v.1将显示增强的溶瘤活性，增强病毒在 肿瘤。在目标2中，我们建议检验rQNestin34.5v.1的治疗效果可以是 通过用IL-12、检查点抑制物(CPI)抗PD-1和抗PD-1和抗-PD-1的组合武装载体进行了改进 TIGIT(目标2A)或腺苷脱氨酶(ADA)基因(目标2B)。携带ADA的OHSV的疗效观察 与表达和抗CD73的OHSV联合检测(OHSV-P10-CD73；项目3)和 根据结果，两个武装基因将被导入到单一载体中以实现治疗效果 学习。对人体临床试验数据的分析使项目2能够定义TME概况特征 RQNestin34.5v2应答者，证明了患者反应和增加的TCR多样性之间的相关性。 在目标3中，我们将检验rQNestin34.5v.1和武装衍生品将增加积累的假设 并诱导识别病毒和肿瘤特异性的T细胞的克隆性增殖 抗原。目标3的分析将比较目标2中产生的武装载体和项目3产生的武装载体 和4，这将使我们能够建立多个OHSV变种与克隆性T细胞的相关性 扩张和动物生存。建议的载体修改可能会显著改善rQNestin34.5v.1 并有效地增加对OHSV治疗的反应的肿瘤数量，从而潜在地 为临床开发提供了一种新型载体。
