Definitions
- the present disclosure relates generally to a non-replicating virus-derived particle and its use as an anti-cancer agent.
- Oncolytic viruses have been engineered through attenuating mutations or deletions which allow the virus to replicate exclusively in cells associated with an impaired immune response or enhanced metabolic activity, two key characteristics of tumorigenesis.
- Examples of current advanced oncolytic therapeutics include the Herpes Simplex Virus OncoVEXGM-CSF and the vaccinia virus (JX594).
- JX594 Herpes Simplex Virus OncoVEXGM-CSF
- JX594 the vaccinia virus
- RVs Rhabdoviruses viruses
- VSV vesicular stomatitis virus
- Maraba vesicular stomatitis virus
- the anti-cancer agent by virtue of its design and components, would preferably be able to address current unmet clinical needs and/or overcome at least some of the above-discussed problems.
- Issues associated with using live virus include: 1) safety, which relies on the ability of the live Rhabdovirus to spread only in diseased tumor tissue, leaving healthy tissue alone; 2) low doses for administration, since the introduction of live spreadable virus to a patient requires the administration of relatively low doses of these live viral agents to ensure safety; 3) immune diversion from the tumor towards the live virus which effectively decreases the efficiency of anti-tumor immune responses; and 4) engineered live viruses designed with proclivity for tumor often have impaired production capacity compared to wild type virus, and consequently, formulation efficiencies and production costs are sub-optimal from a manufacturing perspective.
- VSV ⁇ G glycoprotein gene
- Non-replicating virus-derived particles (NVRP) of the present disclosure and non-replicating rhabdovirus-derived particles (NRRP) in particular, are wild type virus particles modified so as to lack the ability to spread between cells. Once modified, the non-replicating virus-derived particle (NVRP) cannot sustain virion replication.
- NVRPs are unique in that they retain tropism, such as cytolytic tropism, against immortalized cells. This means that NVRPs will induce cell death preferentially in immortalized cells such as tumor or cancer cells and transformed immortalized cells. Specific examples of NVRPs have innate and/or adaptive immune-stimulating properties against immortalized cells.
- the present disclosure describes a non-replicating rhabdovirus-derived particle that lacks the ability to spread between cells while having tropism against immortalized cells.
- the tropism may be a cytolytic tropism.
- the non-replicating rhabdovirus-derived particle may have innate or adaptive immune-stimulating properties against immortalized cells.
- the present disclosure provides a use of a non-replicating rhabdovirus-derived particle to treat a population of hyperproliferative cells or cancer cells.
- the population of hyperproliferative cells is preferably of hematopoietic nature, and preferably leukemic cells.
- the population of hyperproliferative cells may be solid tumor cells.
- the present disclosure describes a method of treating a patient having a population of hyperproliferative cells or cancer cells.
- the method includes administering to the patient non-replicating rhabdovirus-derived particles.
- the population of hyperproliferative cells may preferably be of hematopoietic nature, preferably leukemic cells.

- the NRVP may produce functional N, P, M and G proteins after the NRVP binds and is internalized by the cell.
- the NRVP lacks the ability, or has a reduced ability, to produce functional L protein. Without functional L protein, or without the correct amount of functional L protein, new virus particles cannot be assembled.
- the NRVP may produce functional N, P, and M proteins after the NRVP binds and is internalized by the cell.
- the NRVP lacks the ability, or has a reduced ability, to produce functional G and L proteins. Without functional G and L proteins, or without the correct amounts or ratios of functional G and L proteins, new virus particles cannot be assembled.
- the NRVP may produce functional N and P proteins after the NRVP binds and is internalized by the cell.
- the NRVP lacks the ability, or has a reduced ability, to produce functional M, G and L proteins. Without functional M, G and L proteins, or without the correct amounts or ratios of functional M, G and L proteins, new virus particles cannot be assembled.
- the NRVP may produce functional N protein after the NRVP binds and is internalized by the cell.
- the NRVP lacks the ability, or has a reduced ability, to produce functional P, M, G and L proteins. Without functional P, M, G and L proteins, or without the correct amounts or ratios of functional P, M, G and L proteins, new virus particles cannot be assembled.
- the NRVP lacks the ability, or has a reduced ability, to produce functional N, P, M, G and L proteins. Without functional N, P, M, G and L proteins, or without the correct amounts or ratios of functional N, P, M, G and L proteins, new virus particles cannot be assembled.
- the NRVP In order for the non-replicating virus-derived particle to be able to bind the surface of a cell and be internalized, the NRVP must have sufficient number of functional G proteins on the envelope of the virus particle. It is expected that a NRVP having at least 5% of the number of G proteins found on the wild-type virus particle would still be able to bind a cell and be internalized. Preferably, the NRVP would have at least 50% of the number of G proteins found on the wild-type virus particle, and more preferably the NRVP would have at least 100% of the number of G proteins found on the wild-type virus particle. In specific examples, the NRVP has at least 60 functional G proteins per particle, at least 600 functional G proteins per particle, or at least 1200 functional G proteins per particle.
- the NRVP includes RNA having a sequence that encodes all the proteins required for new virus particle assembly.
- RNA sequence may be unable to produce those proteins when the NRVP is in a cell is if the RNA is cross-linked to such an extent that protein production is reduced or stopped.
- at least 0.05% cross-linked nucleotides may be sufficient to reduce or stop protein production from the RNA sequence.
- the cross-linked RNA may include at least 0.5% cross-linked nucleotides. It may be preferable to have at least 1% of the nucleotides cross-linked, and more preferable to have at least 10% or at least 20% of the nucleotides cross-linked.
- Cross-linking the nucleotides may increase the likelihood of rendering G-proteins unable to bind a cell surface. Accordingly, it may be preferable that less than 80% of the nucleotides be cross-linked.
- the nucleotides in the RNA structure may be cross-linked to other RNA nucleotides, to amino acids in a protein in the protein structure around the RNA, or both.
- the protein structure around the RNA may include a protein that has an amino acid that is: cross-linked to another protein of the protein structure; cross-linked to another amino acid of the same protein; cross-linked to the RNA structure; or any combination thereof.
- the NRVP RNA structure may be unable to replicate by ablating the function of the NRVP RNA polymerase activity encoded by the P and L proteins. This can be effected by sufficient cross-linking of the P and L proteins to the RNA structure, by cross-linking the P and L proteins to other proteins, or by damaging NRVP protein structure such that the function of the P and L proteins are negatively affected.
- RNA viruses such as rhabdoviruses
- RNA viruses have a single continuous RNA polynucleotide that includes the sequences of all of the genes that encode the proteins required for viral replication. Cleaving the single continuous polynucleotide into two or more discontinuous RNA polynucleotides results defective genome transcription, translation, or both. Proteins that are encoded on a polynucleotide without a transcription initiation site cannot be transcribed. Furthermore, the genome cannot undergo full-length replication and cannot be properly incorporated into a nascent virus particle, thereby preventing virus particle production.
- NRVPs may include at least two discontinuous RNA polynucleotides, only one of which comprises a transcription initiation site. However, it may be preferable to cleave the RNA into more than two segments. Accordingly, NRVPs preferably include at least five, more preferably at least 10, and even more preferably at least 100 discontinuous RNA polynucleotides.
- RNA viruses may have an RNA sequence with on the order of 11,000 nucleotides. In RNA viruses having RNA sequences with 11,000 nucleotides or more, it may be desirable to cleave the RNA into segments of no more than 10,000 nucleotides. A NRVP resulting from the cleavage of an RNA virus with 11,000 nucleotides could then have at least one RNA segment of less than 10,000 nucleotides and another RNA segment of less than 1,000 nucleotides. Since only one of the segments includes the transcription initiation site, or since the protein encoding sequence is discontinuous, the other of the segments cannot be transcribed or translated, and any proteins encoded on that segment would not be produced.
- the discontinuous RNA polynucleotides may be no more than 7000, no more than 5000, no more than 3000, or no more than 1000 nucleotides.
- a non-replicating virus-derived particle is produced from a live virus that includes RNA having a sequence that encodes N, P, M, G and L proteins by: optionally separating the virus-derived particle from a UV absorbing compound; and then subjecting the live virus to an RNA damaging agent to either cross-link the RNA structure, or cleave the RNA structure, thus preventing the RNA from producing sufficient proteins required for new virus particle assembly.
- RNA structure of the live virus is sufficiently cross-linked so that, when the virus-derived particle is in a cell: RNA transcription into mRNA is reduced; mRNA translation into protein is reduced; or both.
- the RNA structure of the live virus is cleaved into sufficiently discontinuous RNA segments so that, when the virus-derived particle is in a cell: RNA transcription into mRNA is reduced; mRNA translation into protein is reduced; or both.
- Cross-linking the RNA may be achieved by subjecting the live virus to electromagnetic radiation.
- the electromagnetic radiation may have a wavelength of less than about 1 mm.
- the energy associated with electromagnetic radiation increases as the wavelength decreases. Increased energy is associated with damage to DNA, evidenced by increased cancer rates on exposure to UV light, X-rays, and gamma radiation. Accordingly, it is preferable if the electromagnetic radiation has a wavelength of less than about 500 mm, and more preferable if the wavelength is less than about 280 nm. In particular examples, the wavelength is between about 0.1 picometers and 280 nm.
- the solution containing the live virus may be subjected to a dose of electromagnetic radiation between about 100 mJ/cm 2 and about 8,000 mJ/cm 2 .
- the dose is between about 150 mJ/cm 2 and about 5,000 mJ/cm 2 .
- the dose is between about 150 mJ/cm 2 and about 1,000 mJ/cm 2 .
- the dose is between about 150 mJ/cm 2 and about 500 mJ/cm 2 .
- the dose is between about 150 mJ/cm 2 and about 300 mJ/cm 2 .
- the actual dose may be dependent on the characteristics of the solution. For example, if the solution includes dyes that absorb UV light, then a greater dose is required. Similarly, if the solution is irradiated from a single point and the container is large, there may be live virus that is not exposed to the full intensity of the UV light. In such a situation, a greater dose or stirring the solution may be beneficial. A skilled person would be able to determine the parameters necessary for providing an appropriate dose.
- the media holding the live virus is turbid, includes dye, or otherwise absorbs UV light
- x-rays i.e. electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength between 0.01 and 10 nm
- gamma rays i.e. electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength less than 10 picometers.
- the live virus may be subjected to a dose between about 1 kGy and about 50 kGy. More preferably, the dose is between about 5 kGy and about 20 kGy.
- the gamma radiation may be generated from cobalt-60.
- the live virus may be subjected to the electromagnetic radiation at a temperature of 4° C. or lower.
- the live virus may be subjected to UV radiation at a temperature of about 4° C.
- the live virus may be subjected to gamma radiation at a temperature of about ⁇ 80° C.
- the live virus may be subjected to gamma radiation at a temperature of about ⁇ 130° C.
- the RNA structure may be cross-linked, or cleaved into sufficiently discontinuous RNA segments, to reduce or prevent RNA transcription into mRNA; mRNA translation into protein; or both.
- this may be achieved by exposing the live virus to a chemical agent, such as an alkylating agent capable of crosslinking RNA, or a free radical forming agent capable of cleaving RNA.
- a chemical agent such as an alkylating agent capable of crosslinking RNA, or a free radical forming agent capable of cleaving RNA.
- cross-linking agents include busulfan, cyclophosphamide, melphalan, formaldehyde, carbodiimide and bissulfosuccinimidyl suberate.
- free radical forming agents include peroxides, hydrogen bromine, ammonium persulfate and hydroxyl radical.
- the live virus may be separated from a UV-absorbing compound by fractionating the growth medium used to generate the viral particles.
- the growth medium maybe fractionated, for example, in a sucrose gradient.
- the NRVP may be separated by fractionating or filtering the diluent containing the virus-derived particles.
- the diluent may be fractionated, for example, in a sucrose gradient or filtered by tangential flow filtration.
- the present disclosure also includes a method of stimulating an immune response by administering non-replicating virus-derived particles as described above to a patient.
- the administration of the NRVPs induces expression and release of cytokines in the patient.
- cytokines which may be released in the patient include: interleukins, interferons, inflammatory cytokines, members of the CXC chemokine family, members of the tumor necrosis factor family, or any combination thereof. These factors can result in the presentation or recognition of tumor antigens.
- the disclosure also includes a method of inducing cell death of cancerous cells in a patient.
- the method includes administering non-replicating virus-derived particles as described above to the patient.
- the disclosure further includes a method of preferentially inducing cell death in cancerous cells or non-cancerous cells.
- the method includes administering non-replicating virus-derived particles as described above to the patient.
- the cell death may be through apoptosis, for example caused by the presence of the NRVPs, or constituents of the NRVPs, in the cell.
- the cell death may be due to recruitment of innate immune effector cells, adaptive immune effector cells, or any combination thereof, for example caused by cytokines released by the cell.
- the adaptive immune effector cells may be T-cells, B-cells, or both.
- the innate immune effector cells may include mast cells, phagocytes (such as macrophages, neutrophils, or dendritic cells), basophils, eosinophils, natural killer cells, ⁇ T cells, or any combination thereof.
- the patient is treated with sufficient numbers of NRVPs to stimulate the immune response or induce cell death of cancerous cells. Since the NRVPs do not form live virus particles, it is desirable to administer the NRVPs in an amount that is greater than treatments with replication competent viruses.
- the patient may be administered with 1E10 to 1E15 non-replicating virus-derived particles, though in preferred examples the patient is administered with 1E11 to 1E13 non-replicating virus-derived particles.
- the chemotherapeutic may be, for example: bendamustine, dexamethasone, doxorubicin, vincristine, imatinib, disatinib or idarubicin. These agents may improve sensitivity to NRVP-mediated apoptosis, enhance cytokine secretion, improve anti-tumor immune responses, promote vascular shutdown, or any combination thereof.
- NRVPs may be used to treat solid tumors or non-solid tumors, such as leukemia.
- NRVPs do not form live virus particles in a cell, it is especially desirable to expose all cancer cells to the injected NRVPs. This is in contrast to administration of replication competent viruses, where exposure of a portion of the cancer cells to the injected virus results in production of additional virus and subsequent exposure of the remaining cancer cells to the generated virus particles.
- NRVPs In view of the lack of production of virus particles, it is preferable to use NRVPs to treat leukemia since intravenous administration of the NRVPs results in a substantial fraction of the leukemic cells being exposed to the particles. In contrast, with solid tumors, a portion of the cells in the solid tumor may not be exposed to the injected NRVPs.
- the mode of administration of the non-replicating virus-derived particles may be determined by the cancer to be treated.
- the NRVPs may be administered to the patient intratumorally, intranasally, intramuscularly, intradermally, intraperitoneally, intra-arterially, intravenously, subcutaneously or intracranially.
- Non-replicating virus-derived particles may be formed from wild type Rhabdovirus particles modified so as to lack the ability to spread between cells.
- the non-replicating Rhabdovirus-derived particle may be derived from a replication competent wild type Rhabdovirus particle. Once modified, the NRRP cannot sustain virion replication.
- NRRPs may retain cytolytic tropism against immortalized cells. Specific examples of NRRPs have innate and/or adaptive immune-stimulating properties against immortalized cells.
- the expression “immortalized cells” means cells with unchecked cell division, and includes, without limitation, hyperproliferative cells, tumor or cancer cells and transformed immortalized cells.
- Hyperproliferative cell(s) refer to any neoplasm or any chronically infected cell or tissue.
- the neoplasm can be, for instance, any benign neoplasm, cystic neoplasm, carcinoma in situ, malignant neoplasm, metastatic neoplasm, or secondary neoplasm.
- the hyperproliferative cell may be a hematopoietic cancer cell or a cell from a solid tumor.
- NRRPs may retain cytolytic tropism against immortalized cells. This means that NRRPs will induce cell death preferentially in immortalized cells such as tumor or cancer cells and transformed immortalized cells.
- the wild type Rhabdovirus may be modified to generate the NRRP by a means that disrupts its genome replication and/or expression. This means that genome replication and/or expression is decreased over parental baseline expression. Genome expression could also be ablated.
- Electromagnetic irradiation may include UV irradiation, infrared, X-ray, gamma and other types of irradiation in the EM spectrum such as UVC (200-280 nanometer).
- Chemical-induced disruption can also be used to disrupt genome expression of the wild type Rhabdovirus.
- a genome-damaging agent such as busulfan can be used.
- the EM dose required to sufficiently disrupt genome expression of the wild type Rhabdovirus will be method dependent, and will vary according to parameters such as virus concentration, turbidity of the virus stock preparation, volume used, the presence of contaminants or purity of the virus stock preparation, the diluent used, and the receptacle in which the virus preparation is stored for the procedure (plastic, glass, etc.). Chemical dosing may also be affected by various parameters.
- 50 ⁇ l of a 1E10 PFU/ml stock of the wild type Rhabdoviruses purified using the sucrose cushion method was irradiated at 250 mJ/cm 2 (for about 40 seconds).
- the present disclosure further provides a non-replicating Rhabdovirus-derived particle that has been made from a wild type Rhabdovirus-derived particle.
- the wild type virus has been modified to lack the ability to spread between cells but to retain innate and/or adaptive immune-stimulating properties.
- the present disclosure also provides for a use of a NRVP, and specifically a NRRP, to treat a population of immortalized cells.
- treat would be understood to mean applications where the NRVP or NRRP is used alone or in combination with radiation therapies, chemotherapies, immuno-therapies, surgery, oncolytic virus-based therapies or other virus-based therapies.
- chemotherapies includes, but is not limited to, therapies involving the use of mitotic inhibitors, IMiDS such as lenalidomide or pomalidomide, chromatin modifying agents, HDAC inhibitors such as SAHA, hypomethylating agents, alkylating agents, mTOR inhibitors, tyrosine kinase inhibitors, proteasome inhibitors, antimetabolites, DNA damaging or DNA regulating agents, phosphodiesterase inhibitors, SMAC mimetics such as LCL161, corticosteroids and cytokine/chemokines.
- chemotherapy would include therapies that use: alkylating agents, DNA damaging agents or DNA regulating agents, mitotic inhibitors, tyrosine kinase inhibitors, proteasome inhibitors, IMiDS, antimetabolites, mTOR inhibitors, chromatin modifying agents, HDAC inhibitors, hypomethylating agents, phosphodiesterase inhibitors, corticosteroids and cytokines/chemokines.

- the term “immunotherapies” shall mean immunotherapies targeting CD20 (such as rituximab, Ibritumomabtiuxetan and tositumomab), CD47, CD33, CD38, CD138, CS1, CD52 (such as alemtuzimab), VEGF (such as bevacizumab), Her2/Neu (such as Trastuzumab), EGFR (such as cetuximab and nimotuzumab), CTLA4 (such as ipilimumab) or IGF-1 (such as ganitumab).
- Other immunotherapies known to a person skilled in the art may also be included within the scope of the term “immuno-therapies”.
- oncolytic virus-based therapies includes those known in the art, including Pox virus-based therapies (Vaccinia-based viruses), Herpes Simplex Virus-based therapies (OncoVEXGM-CSF), Rhabdovirus-based therapies (MG1, VSV-IFNb, VSVd51), Reovirus (Reolysin), Adenovirus-based therapies (ONYX 015), Measles virus-based therapies, New Castle Disease virus-based therapies, Alpha virus-based therapies, and Parvovirus species-based therapies.
- Pox virus-based therapies Vaccinia-based viruses
- Herpes Simplex Virus-based therapies OncoVEXGM-CSF
- Rhabdovirus-based therapies MG1, VSV-IFNb, VSVd51
- Reovirus Reolysin
- Adenovirus-based therapies ONYX 015
- Measles virus-based therapies New Castle Disease virus-based therapies
- Alpha virus-based therapies and Parvovirus species-based therapies.
- NRVPs and NRRPs can be administered intratumorally, intranasally, intramuscularly, intradermally, intraperitoneally, intra-arterially, intravenously, subcutaneously or intracranially.
- Tumor specific cytotoxicity was characterized in a number of assays including microscopy characterization of cellular phenotype, resazurin cytotoxicity quantification, and flow cytometry of tumor cell killing.
- NRRP activation of programmed cell death pathways leads to the generation of innate and adaptive immune response against the tumor.
- treatment with NRRPs does not require each cell to become infected to maintain efficacy, and therefore may be used as a treatment alone or as an adjuvant in an anticancer therapeutic regimens.
- Luminex-based quantification of cytokines induced by NRRPs in L1210 bearing mice during acute blast crisis was also performed. All identified cytokines were induced over 2 fold by NRRP-treated mice and are statistically significant (non-paired t-test pV ⁇ 0.05). pV has been corrected to account for multiple hypothesis testing (Benjamini & Hochberg Method).
- NRRPs may be optimally effective when applied at a high NRRP to cell ratio (i.e., >1). This higher dosing ensures that the majority of cells within a cell population encounter a cytotoxic NRRP. This contrasts live OV therapies, which rely on viral spread to hopefully achieve therapeutic efficacy, and inherently utilize a low OV to cell ratio to promote safe delivery to the recipient.
- NRRPs were generated by UVC-irradiation at a dose of 250 mJ/cm 2 of a 50 ⁇ l sample of 1E10 PFU/ml of live VSV-GFP, purified using a sucrose cushion method where the virus preparation was centrifuged through a 20% (w/v) sucrose cushion in water (5 ml) at 148,000 ⁇ g for 120 minutes.
- Example 1 VSV-Based NRRPs Generated by Irradiation with Electromagnetic Radiation
- UV photonic damage of rhabdoviruses may be used to generate a non-replicating virus-derived particle that retained bioactivity.
- Using high-dose UV irradiation ablates the rhabdoviruses's genome, rendering the virus biologically inert.
- UV irradiation may be applied at a dose that still allows the virus to bind and be internalized by a cell, but stops, or substantially reduces, the ability of the particle to form new virus particles when the virus particle is in the cell. Accordingly, virus replication is lost, yet biological activities are maintained.
- FIG. 1A A 250 mJ/cm 2 dose of UV irradiation was applied to the wild type strain of VSV to generate VSV-based NRRPs according to the present disclosure.
- the UV dose 1E2 corresponds to 100 mJ/cm 2 .
- VSV-eGFP lost its expression capabilities, yet maintained potent cytotoxicity against the immortalized production cell line (Vero) ( FIG. 2B ). Tittering of the virus following infection confirmed that the resulting particle was unable to replicate in these cells in sharp contrast with live virus infection ( FIG. 2C ). This effect was equally observed when using other members of the Rhabdovirus family, including Maraba ( FIGS. 3A, 3B and 3C ).
- Dose response curves shown in FIG. 1A , indicate that cytotoxicity is reduced at UV doses above 1000 mJ/cm 2 and completely abrogated at a UV dose of 10,000 mJ/cm 2 . It is believed that cytotoxicity is abrogated at this dose because the G proteins are cross-linked to such an extent that they are unable to allow the treated virus to bind the cell surface and/or be internalized by the cell.
- cytotoxicity is preferential to cancerous cells over non-cancerous cells. Indeed, non-cancerous cells appear to require around 10 times more virus to become sensitive to NRRP-mediated cytotoxicity ( FIG. 1B ).
- GFP synthesis and viral titers were quantified following in-vitro treatment of an aggressive murine acute lymphoblastic leukemia cell line (L1210), alongside the Vero control cell line (normal kidney epithelial cells). In both treated cell lines, no detectable live virus was observed ( FIGS. 4A and 4B ).
- Example 2 VSV-Based NRRPs Generated by Exposure to an RNA Alkylating Agent
- NRRPs were chemically generated by treating VSV with 6 mg/mL of busulfan at 4° C. for 24 hours and added to Vero cells for 24 hours. Less than 4% of the Vero cells remained viable after treatment ( FIG. 6A ). This effect was attributable to the NRRPs since treatment with busulfan alone for 24 hours showed that Vero cells remained around 82% viable ( FIG. 6B ).
- FIG. 6C shows cytopathic effect of live VSV-GFP infected Vero cells at 24 hours and that this live virus stock (VSV-GFP), from which the NRRPs were derived, was indeed replication competent—by evidence of GFP expression.
- NRRPs were generated by irradiating 1E10 frozen VSV with 15 kGy Cobalt-60 at ⁇ 80° C. and 1000 particles per cell were added to Vero cells for 48 hours. Again, the cytopathic effect of NRRPs was clearly evident on these immortalized cells ( FIG. 7A ).
- the NRRP-induced morphological effects of cellular apoptosis and death compare to the cytopathic effects of treating the same cells with live VSV-GFP, over the same time period of 48 hours ( FIG. 7B ). Vero cells treated with PBS alone remained fully viable, without cytopathic effects and showed no fluorescence ( FIG. 7C ).
- NRRPS are an Efficient Treatment Against Leukemia Cells In Vitro
- NRRPs induced extensive (84% of population) early/late apoptosis ( FIG. 9 ).
- VSV-induced apoptosis has been shown to directly correlate with the level of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress present (10).
- ER endoplasmic reticulum
- NRRPs induce this unique form of cellular death as described later.
- L1210 leukemia cells were treated with NRRPs in combination with either 300 ⁇ M bendamustine ( FIG. 10 ); 45 ⁇ M dexamethasone ( FIG. 11 ); 0.025 ⁇ M doxorubicin ( FIG. 12 ) or 0.0125 ⁇ M vincristine ( FIG. 13 ) for 72 hours.
- NRRPs are shown to induce cytotoxic effect on their own in the usual manner however in combination with the above drugs additional and/or synergistic cytotoxic effect is observed. This demonstrates that a unique therapeutic potentiation-effect occurs when NRRP-therapy is combined with other chemotherapeutics/pharmacologics.
- K562 Ph-positive myeloid leukemic cells were treated with UV-generated NRRPs in combination with 0.05 ⁇ M irarubicin ( FIG. 14 ) for 72 hours.
- the myeloid leukemic cell line was highly susceptible to NRRP-mediated cell death and a potentiation-effect was again observed using this class of chemotherapeutic in combination with NRRPs.
- the parameters used in the above equations represent the NRRP internalization rate (K NI ), the rate of IFN-signaling activation (K IFN on ), the rate of IFN-signaling inactivation (K IFN off ), the EC 50 of IFN (EC 50 ), the rate of cell death ( ⁇ C ) and the rate NRRP clearance (K NC ).
- the parameters described in the above equations represent the rate of NRRP internalization (K NI ), NRRP degradation ( ⁇ N ), IFN production from IP, AP and PP (K IFN1 , K IFN2.1 and K IFN2.2 , respectively) and IFN degradation ( ⁇ IFN ).
- the Monte Carlo simulation was performed by randomly varying the above parameters within a 1 log window (Table 2) surrounding physiological parameter derived from literature and experimental evidence (18). Simulations were performed in Matlab using ODE15s imposing a none-negativity constraint. Trends described in FIG. 15B represent the median value over 1000 simulations. The number of cells used in these simulations was 2.5E5, the media volume was set at 1 ml, and the PFU to cell ratio was set at 100 particles per cell. In these simulation, defects in IFN-signalling pathways were simulated by decreasing K IFN1 , K IFN2.1 , K IFN2.2 , K vc and K IFN on from 100% to 1% of their original value.
- the authors of the present disclosure simulated the cytotoxicity induced by NRRPs in normal and tumor cells. Recently, the authors of the present disclosure have developed a population-based model describing the relationship between cytotoxicity and live oncolytic virus replication dynamics in normal and tumor cells. According to this model, an infection cycle begins as the uninfected population of cells (UP) encounters virions. This allows the UP population to become infected, and, in the context of live virus, virions and the cytokine known as interferon (IFN) are released into the environment.
- UP uninfected population of cells
- IFN interferon
- the translational potential of the NRRP platform was investigated in clinical samples.
- Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were obtained from two human patients with high-burden acute blast crisis, and susceptibility towards NRRP-mediated cell death was tested.
- the patients had circulating blasts with a CD33 positive phenotype. Both had previously received extensive treatment for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and developed resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment. Similar to the observation in L1210 blast cells, patient samples developed obvious NRRP-induced apoptosis with the classic morphology ( FIG. 16A ). Fluorescence microscopy confirmed the absence of NRRP genome expression ( FIG. 16B ).
- mice were challenged with 1 ⁇ 10 6 dose of L1210 blast cells. The following day, mice began a regimen of 3 ⁇ 10 9 NRRPs administered intravenously for three consecutive days, and survival was monitored. In parallel, separate cohorts of mice were treated with live VSV at the MTD of 2 ⁇ 10 6 virus per injection (19), or PBS under the same treatment schedule. NRRP treated mice achieved 80% survival up to day 40, representing a significant advantage versus those treated with PBS (P ⁇ 1.0045) or live virus (P ⁇ 0.044) ( FIG. 18A ).
- NRRPs were well tolerated and administered at the maximal feasible dose for this particular experiment, which represented a 1500 ⁇ higher dose than the MTD of live virus. Given that acute leukemia frequently disseminates to the central nervous system, and that wild type VSV is highly neurotoxic, intracranial injections of NRRPs and live virus were performed. While mice could tolerate the maximum production dose for intracranial injections of 1 ⁇ 10 8 particles, all mice rapidly succumbed to a 1 ⁇ 10 4 dose of live virus.
- cytokines typically known to recruit and differentiate T-cells are induced following NRRP treatment.
- Examples of such immune-modulatory cytokines significantly induced by NRRP treatment include the leukemia inhibitory factor LIF, IL-2, IL-4, CCL-2, RANTES and MIP-1a ( FIG. 18B ).
- this platform consists of injecting apoptotic cells into immunocompetent animals and measuring protective adaptive immunity against subsequent tumor challenge.
- L1210 cells treated with NRRPs develop marked apoptosis as can be seen in FIG. 16C by the increase in Annexin-V staining. Therefore, this classical experimental approach was adopted to explore whether NRRPs trigger immunogenic apoptosis.
- mice Two cohorts of DBA/2 mice (syngeneic to L1210) received three weekly intravenous doses of 1 ⁇ 10 6 ⁇ -irradiated L1210 cells pre-treated with NRRPs. Another cohort received the same number of ⁇ -irradiated L1210 cells.
- a L1210 leukemic challenge (1 ⁇ 10 6 cells) was administered via tail vein, and survival recorded.
- the cohort receiving NRRP-treated L1210 cells had 80% protection after leukemic challenge, which was otherwise uniformly lethal in the untreated L1210-administered cohorts ( FIG. 19 ).
- Surviving mice were kept for >150 days to ensure long-lasting protection. This is consistent with the notion that NRRP-treated acute leukemia cells undergo immunogenic apoptosis.
- NRRPs are at least leukemia-specific cytolytic agents. Through the in-vitro and in-vivo experiments detailed above, it is confirmed that NRRPs offer a multimodal therapeutic platform.
- Example 8 NRRP Activity in Multiple Myeloma, Brain Cancer and Colon Cancer Cell Lines
- NRRPs were also shown to be cytopathic in multiple myeloma cell lines MCP-11 and RPMI-8226 ( FIG. 20 ) when the cells lines were treated with PBS or VSV-derived NRRPs for 15 hours.
- SR4987 is a normal marrow stromal cell line. As seen in FIG. 21 , SR4987 demonstrates resistance to NRRPs as it is a non-malignant cell. No NRRP or VSV genome replication was found when the NRRPs were generated, since no viral-encoded GFP was produced (data not shown).
- MCP-11 multiple myeloma cell line was treated with 20 ⁇ M melphalan ( FIG. 22 ) or 15 ⁇ M SMAC mimetic LCL161 ( FIG. 23 ) in combination with NRRPs.
- Combination therapy augmented the cytopathic effect of NRRPs in both cases.
- Synergistic activity between SMAC mimetics and NRRPs represents a promising approach. It is observed that SMAC mimetic anti-tumor activity is significantly augmented or in some cases essentially dependent-upon NRRP co-administration.
- RPMI-8226 multiple myeloma cell line was treated with 5 nM carfilzomib with potentiating cytotoxic effect ( FIG. 24 ). It is demonstrated that co-administration of NRRPs with an alkylating agent (such as melphalan), a proteasome inhibitor (such as carfilzomib) or a SMAC mimetic (such as LCL161) represents an alternative treatment strategy for various cancers, particularly promising in hematopoietic-based cancers, such as multiple myeloma.
- an alkylating agent such as melphalan
- a proteasome inhibitor such as carfilzomib
- SMAC mimetic such as LCL161
- NRRPs-mediated cytotoxicity was determined in glioblastoma cell line CT2A, delayed brain tumor glioblastoma cell line (DBT) ( FIG. 25A ), astrocytoma cell lines K1491 ( FIG. 25B ) and K1492, and mouse glioma cell line (GL261) ( FIG. 25C ), compared to HDNF normal cells, when these cells were treated for 24 hrs with PBS or NRRPs ( FIG. 26 ).
- glioblastoma cell line CT2A was treated with 10 ⁇ M of the HDAC inhibitor SAHA in combination with NRRPs and a potentiation cytopathic effect was observed compared to NRRPs with PBS ( FIG. 27 ).
- HDAC inhibition has shown a modicum of promise as an anti-cancer agent.
- significant activity is noted, representing a very promising approach to treat glioblastoma-based malignancies, an unmet clinical need.
- Renal (786-0) and breast cancer (4T1) cell lines are equally sensitive to the cytopathic effects of NRRPs ( FIGS. 28A, 28B, 28C ).
- subcutaneous CT26 colon cancer cells were implanted into mice.
- the mice were then treated with 2E9 NRRPs on days 16, 18 and 21 post tumor embedment ( FIG. 29 ).
- 2E9 NRRPs on days 16, 18 and 21 post tumor embedment.
- NRRPs were administered via the intratumoral or intravenous routes.
- PBS control-treated mice all rapidly reached endpoint. This model represents additional evidence that solid tumors may also be amenable to NRRP-based regimens.
- NRRPs analogous to live virus
- NRRPs are tumor-selective given that they exploit defects in innate immune pathways common to most tumors.
- the safety margin afforded by the NRRP platform was exemplified by the observation that high titer intracranial NRRP administration was well tolerated by murine recipients.
- NRRPs exhibit both direct cytolytic and immunogenic properties in multiple acute leukemia murine models.
- a peculiar form of programmed cell death involves the induction of adaptive immune responses against the dying cell. This process, commonly referred to as immunogenic apoptosis, is essential to the efficacy of several current chemotherapeutics and is required for host defense against viral infection including live RVs.
- immunogenic apoptosis is essential to the efficacy of several current chemotherapeutics and is required for host defense against viral infection including live RVs.
- the in-vivo results above indicate that a similar process is induced by NRRPs and is a driving factor to treatment efficacy.
- NRRPs demonstrate the production of high-titer NRRPs.
- NRRPs Through the induction cell lysis mainly via programmed cell death pathways, systemic and intratumoral immune responses, including natural killer cell activation as well as dendritic cell activation, or vasculature shutdown within the tumor—NRRPs harbor several anti-cancer properties. These features may be exploited by using NRRPs alone or as an adjuvant in combination with radiation therapies, chemotherapies, immuno-therapies, surgery, oncolytic-virus derived or other virus-derived therapeutic platforms.

The non-replicating Rhabdovirus-derived particle may have cytolytic tropism against immortalized cells. There is also described a non-replicating Rhabdovirus-derived particle that lacks the ability to spread between cells but has innate and/or adaptive immune-stimulating properties.
Description
- This is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14/654,259, filed Jun. 19, 2015, which is a National Stage Entry under 35 U.S.C. 371 of International Patent Application No. PCT/CA2013/051009, filed Dec. 20, 2013, and which claims priority of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/740,856, filed Dec. 21, 2012, and of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/835,310, filed Jun. 14, 2013. These applications are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
- The present disclosure relates generally to a non-replicating virus-derived particle and its use as an anti-cancer agent.
- The following background discussion does not imply or admit that anything described below is prior art or part of the knowledge of people skilled in the art in any country.
- Oncolytic viruses (OVs) have been engineered through attenuating mutations or deletions which allow the virus to replicate exclusively in cells associated with an impaired immune response or enhanced metabolic activity, two key characteristics of tumorigenesis. Examples of current advanced oncolytic therapeutics include the Herpes Simplex Virus OncoVEXGM-CSF and the vaccinia virus (JX594). To date, the main focus of the OV field has been the development of platforms where the live virus has preferential replication/spreading capacity within the local tumor environment.
- Rhabdoviruses viruses (RVs), such as vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) and Maraba, are currently being explored as anti-cancer therapeutics. In tumors, viral propagation is enabled by unrestrained metabolic activities and impaired anti-viral programs. Tumor susceptibility to RV treatment is further enhanced due to pre-disposition towards virus-mediated apoptosis.
- In the Rhabdovirus field, oncolytic platforms developed to date utilize a replication competent virus where the virus spreads between tumor cells. In fact, reports describing the use of live replication/expression competent rhabdovirus as a direct virotherapy for cancer typically compare efficacy to non-replicating/non-expressing virus controls where no measurable efficacy is observed. In these reports, it is concluded that Rhabdovirus genome replication and/or expression is a critical and essential component of tumor cytotoxicity and therapeutic efficacy.
- The lack of oncolytic effects in these previous studies is reflected in the methods used to disrupt virus genome replication and/or expression as well as in the number of virus particles used. Indeed, when these previous methods are used to disrupt virus genome replication and/or expression, no bioactivity of the virus is observed. Furthermore, in these studies, non-replicating virus controls are applied at the same dose as their live virus counterparts, and not at higher doses to ensure that each cell encounters a non-replicating particle.
- Alternative, and preferably more effective, approaches are desired to treat and cure most forms of cancers. For example, the outcome for the majority of adult patients suffering from acute lymphoblastic or acute myeloid leukemia remains dismal. This is in part due to the significant immunocompromised nature of the disease. For a minority of patients, anti-tumor immune responses are partially restored through allogeneic stem cell transplantation after myeloablative conditioning. This therapy is potentially curative, however is associated with frequent adverse events and significant treatment-related mortality. For many patients with chronic-phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy offers excellent disease control. However when progression into acute leukemic blast crisis occurs, very limited therapeutic options exist due to development of multi-drug resistance and the rapid kinetics of this form of recalcitrant leukemia.
- Hence there is need for alternative anti-cancer agents, particularly for immunocompromised patients. The anti-cancer agent, by virtue of its design and components, would preferably be able to address current unmet clinical needs and/or overcome at least some of the above-discussed problems.
- The following summary is intended to introduce the reader to one or more inventions described herein, but not to define any of them. Inventions may reside in any combination of features described anywhere in this document.
- While live OV strategies are being pursued to treat a variety of tumor types, their application in hematopoietic malignancies in particular is complicated by several factors. Limited virion production and reduced spread between leukemia cells requires high-dose viral therapy to overcome these inefficiencies. However, uncontrolled live virus spread and off-target effects in normal tissue compromise the safety of this approach, particularly in immunosuppressed patients.
- Issues associated with using live virus include: 1) safety, which relies on the ability of the live Rhabdovirus to spread only in diseased tumor tissue, leaving healthy tissue alone; 2) low doses for administration, since the introduction of live spreadable virus to a patient requires the administration of relatively low doses of these live viral agents to ensure safety; 3) immune diversion from the tumor towards the live virus which effectively decreases the efficiency of anti-tumor immune responses; and 4) engineered live viruses designed with proclivity for tumor often have impaired production capacity compared to wild type virus, and consequently, formulation efficiencies and production costs are sub-optimal from a manufacturing perspective.
- It has been previously shown that intra-tumoral injection with VSV engineered to have a deletion of the glycoprotein gene (VSVΔG), which prevents final virion assembly and spread, elicits anti-tumor immune responses. However, treatment with VSVΔG cannot provide a significant reduction of disseminated tumor bulk, partly due to the inability to manufacture and deliver therapeutically effective doses.
- The authors are aware of no reports that detail the use of a non-replicating and non-expressing Rhabdovirus-derived platform as an anti-cancer therapeutic. Non-replicating virus-derived particles (NVRP) of the present disclosure, and non-replicating rhabdovirus-derived particles (NRRP) in particular, are wild type virus particles modified so as to lack the ability to spread between cells. Once modified, the non-replicating virus-derived particle (NVRP) cannot sustain virion replication.
- NVRPs are unique in that they retain tropism, such as cytolytic tropism, against immortalized cells. This means that NVRPs will induce cell death preferentially in immortalized cells such as tumor or cancer cells and transformed immortalized cells. Specific examples of NVRPs have innate and/or adaptive immune-stimulating properties against immortalized cells.
- In one aspect, the present disclosure describes a non-replicating rhabdovirus-derived particle that lacks the ability to spread between cells while having tropism against immortalized cells. The tropism may be a cytolytic tropism. The non-replicating rhabdovirus-derived particle may have innate or adaptive immune-stimulating properties against immortalized cells.
- In yet another aspect, the present disclosure provides a use of a non-replicating rhabdovirus-derived particle to treat a population of hyperproliferative cells or cancer cells. The population of hyperproliferative cells is preferably of hematopoietic nature, and preferably leukemic cells. The population of hyperproliferative cells may be solid tumor cells.
- In still another aspect, the present disclosure describes a method of treating a patient having a population of hyperproliferative cells or cancer cells. The method includes administering to the patient non-replicating rhabdovirus-derived particles. The population of hyperproliferative cells may preferably be of hematopoietic nature, preferably leukemic cells. The population of hyperproliferative cells may be solid tumor cells.
- Other aspects and features of the present disclosure will become apparent to those ordinarily skilled in the art upon review of the following description of specific embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying figures.

A non-replicating virus-derived particle (NRVP) is a virus-derived particle that is able to bind and be internalized by a cell, but has been modified to prevent formation, or substantially reduce formation, of new virus particles when the NRVP is in the cell. One example of a NRVP is a non-replicating rhabdovirus-derived particle (NRRP).
- The NRVP includes: an envelope having a sufficient number of functional G proteins on the surface of the envelope to allow the virus-derived particle to bind a surface of a cell and be internalized. It also includes an RNA polynucleotide with a sequence that encodes all the proteins required for new virus particle assembly, and a mixture of proteins that form a structure around the RNA polynucleotide. However, the RNA structure of the NRVP is sufficiently cross-linked, or has been cleaved to form discontinuous segments of RNA, such that the NRVP genome is unable be used to produce the proteins required for new virus formation. For example, the RNA sequence may not be transcribed into mRNA, translated into protein, or both when the particle is in a cell. The impairment or lack of transcription and/or translation means that insufficient proteins are produced in the cell and new virus particles cannot be assembled.
- The functional G protein may have a sequence that includes SEQ ID NO: 1, shown below, which is the sequence of the glycoprotein mature peptide of vesicular stomatitis Indiana virus. This functional G protein has NCBI accession number NP 955548.1.

For example, conservative substitutions of amino acids may be made without abrogating the ability of the protein to bind to the surface of a cell and effect internalization of the particle. Examples of conservative substitutions are shown below in Table 1.

- In order for the non-replicating virus-derived particle to be able to bind the surface of a cell and be internalized, the NRVP must have sufficient number of functional G proteins on the envelope of the virus particle. It is expected that a NRVP having at least 5% of the number of G proteins found on the wild-type virus particle would still be able to bind a cell and be internalized. Preferably, the NRVP would have at least 50% of the number of G proteins found on the wild-type virus particle, and more preferably the NRVP would have at least 100% of the number of G proteins found on the wild-type virus particle. In specific examples, the NRVP has at least 60 functional G proteins per particle, at least 600 functional G proteins per particle, or at least 1200 functional G proteins per particle.
- As noted above, the NRVP includes RNA having a sequence that encodes all the proteins required for new virus particle assembly. One reason that the RNA sequence may be unable to produce those proteins when the NRVP is in a cell is if the RNA is cross-linked to such an extent that protein production is reduced or stopped. In some examples, at least 0.05% cross-linked nucleotides may be sufficient to reduce or stop protein production from the RNA sequence. In other examples, the cross-linked RNA may include at least 0.5% cross-linked nucleotides. It may be preferable to have at least 1% of the nucleotides cross-linked, and more preferable to have at least 10% or at least 20% of the nucleotides cross-linked.
- Cross-linking the nucleotides may increase the likelihood of rendering G-proteins unable to bind a cell surface. Accordingly, it may be preferable that less than 80% of the nucleotides be cross-linked.
- The nucleotides in the RNA structure may be cross-linked to other RNA nucleotides, to amino acids in a protein in the protein structure around the RNA, or both.
- In addition to the cross-linked RNA structure, the protein structure around the RNA may include a protein that has an amino acid that is: cross-linked to another protein of the protein structure; cross-linked to another amino acid of the same protein; cross-linked to the RNA structure; or any combination thereof.
- Furthermore, the NRVP RNA structure may be unable to replicate by ablating the function of the NRVP RNA polymerase activity encoded by the P and L proteins. This can be effected by sufficient cross-linking of the P and L proteins to the RNA structure, by cross-linking the P and L proteins to other proteins, or by damaging NRVP protein structure such that the function of the P and L proteins are negatively affected.
- Another reason that the RNA sequence may be unable to produce those proteins when the NRVP is in a cell is if the RNA structure has been cleaved to form discontinuous segments of RNA. RNA viruses, such as rhabdoviruses, have a single continuous RNA polynucleotide that includes the sequences of all of the genes that encode the proteins required for viral replication. Cleaving the single continuous polynucleotide into two or more discontinuous RNA polynucleotides results defective genome transcription, translation, or both. Proteins that are encoded on a polynucleotide without a transcription initiation site cannot be transcribed. Furthermore, the genome cannot undergo full-length replication and cannot be properly incorporated into a nascent virus particle, thereby preventing virus particle production.
- NRVPs may include at least two discontinuous RNA polynucleotides, only one of which comprises a transcription initiation site. However, it may be preferable to cleave the RNA into more than two segments. Accordingly, NRVPs preferably include at least five, more preferably at least 10, and even more preferably at least 100 discontinuous RNA polynucleotides.
- RNA viruses may have an RNA sequence with on the order of 11,000 nucleotides. In RNA viruses having RNA sequences with 11,000 nucleotides or more, it may be desirable to cleave the RNA into segments of no more than 10,000 nucleotides. A NRVP resulting from the cleavage of an RNA virus with 11,000 nucleotides could then have at least one RNA segment of less than 10,000 nucleotides and another RNA segment of less than 1,000 nucleotides. Since only one of the segments includes the transcription initiation site, or since the protein encoding sequence is discontinuous, the other of the segments cannot be transcribed or translated, and any proteins encoded on that segment would not be produced.
- It may be preferable to cleave the RNA into smaller portions. For example, the discontinuous RNA polynucleotides may be no more than 7000, no more than 5000, no more than 3000, or no more than 1000 nucleotides.
- A non-replicating virus-derived particle is produced from a live virus that includes RNA having a sequence that encodes N, P, M, G and L proteins by: optionally separating the virus-derived particle from a UV absorbing compound; and then subjecting the live virus to an RNA damaging agent to either cross-link the RNA structure, or cleave the RNA structure, thus preventing the RNA from producing sufficient proteins required for new virus particle assembly.
- The RNA structure of the live virus is sufficiently cross-linked so that, when the virus-derived particle is in a cell: RNA transcription into mRNA is reduced; mRNA translation into protein is reduced; or both. Similarly, the RNA structure of the live virus is cleaved into sufficiently discontinuous RNA segments so that, when the virus-derived particle is in a cell: RNA transcription into mRNA is reduced; mRNA translation into protein is reduced; or both.
- Cross-linking the RNA may be achieved by subjecting the live virus to electromagnetic radiation. The electromagnetic radiation may have a wavelength of less than about 1 mm. The energy associated with electromagnetic radiation increases as the wavelength decreases. Increased energy is associated with damage to DNA, evidenced by increased cancer rates on exposure to UV light, X-rays, and gamma radiation. Accordingly, it is preferable if the electromagnetic radiation has a wavelength of less than about 500 mm, and more preferable if the wavelength is less than about 280 nm. In particular examples, the wavelength is between about 0.1 picometers and 280 nm.
- It may be especially desirable to use electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength between about 100 and about 280 nm as such a wavelength preferably induces cross-linking in nucleotides over cross-linking in proteins. When the electromagnetic radiation is in the UV spectrum, i.e. between about 100 nm and about 400 nm, the solution containing the live virus may be subjected to a dose of electromagnetic radiation between about 100 mJ/cm2 and about 8,000 mJ/cm2. Preferably, the dose is between about 150 mJ/cm2 and about 5,000 mJ/cm2. Even more preferably, the dose is between about 150 mJ/cm2 and about 1,000 mJ/cm2. Still even more preferably, the dose is between about 150 mJ/cm2 and about 500 mJ/cm2. Most preferably, the dose is between about 150 mJ/cm2 and about 300 mJ/cm2.
- The actual dose may be dependent on the characteristics of the solution. For example, if the solution includes dyes that absorb UV light, then a greater dose is required. Similarly, if the solution is irradiated from a single point and the container is large, there may be live virus that is not exposed to the full intensity of the UV light. In such a situation, a greater dose or stirring the solution may be beneficial. A skilled person would be able to determine the parameters necessary for providing an appropriate dose.
- In situations where the media holding the live virus is turbid, includes dye, or otherwise absorbs UV light, it may be desirable to irradiate the live virus with x-rays (i.e. electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength between 0.01 and 10 nm) or gamma rays (i.e. electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength less than 10 picometers). When the electromagnetic radiation is gamma irradiation, the live virus may be subjected to a dose between about 1 kGy and about 50 kGy. More preferably, the dose is between about 5 kGy and about 20 kGy. The gamma radiation may be generated from cobalt-60.
- The live virus may be subjected to the electromagnetic radiation at a temperature of 4° C. or lower. For example, the live virus may be subjected to UV radiation at a temperature of about 4° C. In another example, the live virus may be subjected to gamma radiation at a temperature of about −80° C. In yet another example, the live virus may be subjected to gamma radiation at a temperature of about −130° C.
- As noted above, the RNA structure may be cross-linked, or cleaved into sufficiently discontinuous RNA segments, to reduce or prevent RNA transcription into mRNA; mRNA translation into protein; or both. In addition to the electromagnetic radiation discussed above, this may be achieved by exposing the live virus to a chemical agent, such as an alkylating agent capable of crosslinking RNA, or a free radical forming agent capable of cleaving RNA. Examples of such cross-linking agents include busulfan, cyclophosphamide, melphalan, formaldehyde, carbodiimide and bissulfosuccinimidyl suberate. Examples of free radical forming agents include peroxides, hydrogen bromine, ammonium persulfate and hydroxyl radical.
- The live virus may be separated from a UV-absorbing compound by fractionating the growth medium used to generate the viral particles. The growth medium maybe fractionated, for example, in a sucrose gradient. Once the NRVP has been prepared, the NRVP may be separated by fractionating or filtering the diluent containing the virus-derived particles. The diluent may be fractionated, for example, in a sucrose gradient or filtered by tangential flow filtration.
- The present disclosure also includes a method of stimulating an immune response by administering non-replicating virus-derived particles as described above to a patient. The administration of the NRVPs induces expression and release of cytokines in the patient. Exemplary cytokines which may be released in the patient include: interleukins, interferons, inflammatory cytokines, members of the CXC chemokine family, members of the tumor necrosis factor family, or any combination thereof. These factors can result in the presentation or recognition of tumor antigens.
- The disclosure also includes a method of inducing cell death of cancerous cells in a patient. The method includes administering non-replicating virus-derived particles as described above to the patient.
- The disclosure further includes a method of preferentially inducing cell death in cancerous cells or non-cancerous cells. The method includes administering non-replicating virus-derived particles as described above to the patient.
- The cell death may be through apoptosis, for example caused by the presence of the NRVPs, or constituents of the NRVPs, in the cell. Alternatively, the cell death may be due to recruitment of innate immune effector cells, adaptive immune effector cells, or any combination thereof, for example caused by cytokines released by the cell. The adaptive immune effector cells may be T-cells, B-cells, or both. The innate immune effector cells may include mast cells, phagocytes (such as macrophages, neutrophils, or dendritic cells), basophils, eosinophils, natural killer cells, γδ T cells, or any combination thereof.
- The patient is treated with sufficient numbers of NRVPs to stimulate the immune response or induce cell death of cancerous cells. Since the NRVPs do not form live virus particles, it is desirable to administer the NRVPs in an amount that is greater than treatments with replication competent viruses. The patient may be administered with 1E10 to 1E15 non-replicating virus-derived particles, though in preferred examples the patient is administered with 1E11 to 1E13 non-replicating virus-derived particles.
- There may be a synergistic benefit when combining treatment of a patient with NRVPs and treatment with a chemotherapeutic agent. The chemotherapeutic may be, for example: bendamustine, dexamethasone, doxorubicin, vincristine, imatinib, disatinib or idarubicin. These agents may improve sensitivity to NRVP-mediated apoptosis, enhance cytokine secretion, improve anti-tumor immune responses, promote vascular shutdown, or any combination thereof.
- NRVPs may be used to treat solid tumors or non-solid tumors, such as leukemia. However, since NRVPs do not form live virus particles in a cell, it is especially desirable to expose all cancer cells to the injected NRVPs. This is in contrast to administration of replication competent viruses, where exposure of a portion of the cancer cells to the injected virus results in production of additional virus and subsequent exposure of the remaining cancer cells to the generated virus particles.
- In view of the lack of production of virus particles, it is preferable to use NRVPs to treat leukemia since intravenous administration of the NRVPs results in a substantial fraction of the leukemic cells being exposed to the particles. In contrast, with solid tumors, a portion of the cells in the solid tumor may not be exposed to the injected NRVPs. The mode of administration of the non-replicating virus-derived particles may be determined by the cancer to be treated. The NRVPs may be administered to the patient intratumorally, intranasally, intramuscularly, intradermally, intraperitoneally, intra-arterially, intravenously, subcutaneously or intracranially.
- Non-replicating virus-derived particles (NRVPs) of the present disclosure may be formed from wild type Rhabdovirus particles modified so as to lack the ability to spread between cells. The non-replicating Rhabdovirus-derived particle may be derived from a replication competent wild type Rhabdovirus particle. Once modified, the NRRP cannot sustain virion replication. NRRPs may retain cytolytic tropism against immortalized cells. Specific examples of NRRPs have innate and/or adaptive immune-stimulating properties against immortalized cells.
- For the purposes of the present disclosure, the expression “immortalized cells” means cells with unchecked cell division, and includes, without limitation, hyperproliferative cells, tumor or cancer cells and transformed immortalized cells. Hyperproliferative cell(s) refer to any neoplasm or any chronically infected cell or tissue. The neoplasm can be, for instance, any benign neoplasm, cystic neoplasm, carcinoma in situ, malignant neoplasm, metastatic neoplasm, or secondary neoplasm. The hyperproliferative cell may be a hematopoietic cancer cell or a cell from a solid tumor.
- NRRPs according to the present disclosure may retain cytolytic tropism against immortalized cells. This means that NRRPs will induce cell death preferentially in immortalized cells such as tumor or cancer cells and transformed immortalized cells.
- The wild type Rhabdovirus may be modified to generate the NRRP by a means that disrupts its genome replication and/or expression. This means that genome replication and/or expression is decreased over parental baseline expression. Genome expression could also be ablated.
- To disrupt genome expression of the wild type Rhabdovirus, electromagnetic (EM) irradiation can be used. Electromagnetic irradiation may include UV irradiation, infrared, X-ray, gamma and other types of irradiation in the EM spectrum such as UVC (200-280 nanometer). Chemical-induced disruption can also be used to disrupt genome expression of the wild type Rhabdovirus. For example, a genome-damaging agent such as busulfan can be used.
- The EM dose required to sufficiently disrupt genome expression of the wild type Rhabdovirus will be method dependent, and will vary according to parameters such as virus concentration, turbidity of the virus stock preparation, volume used, the presence of contaminants or purity of the virus stock preparation, the diluent used, and the receptacle in which the virus preparation is stored for the procedure (plastic, glass, etc.). Chemical dosing may also be affected by various parameters.
- In one example, 50 μl of a 1E10 PFU/ml stock of the wild type Rhabdoviruses purified using the sucrose cushion method was irradiated at 250 mJ/cm2 (for about 40 seconds).
- The present disclosure further provides a non-replicating Rhabdovirus-derived particle that has been made from a wild type Rhabdovirus-derived particle. The wild type virus has been modified to lack the ability to spread between cells but to retain innate and/or adaptive immune-stimulating properties.
- The present disclosure also provides for a use of a NRVP, and specifically a NRRP, to treat a population of immortalized cells.
- For the purposes of the present disclosure, “treat” would be understood to mean applications where the NRVP or NRRP is used alone or in combination with radiation therapies, chemotherapies, immuno-therapies, surgery, oncolytic virus-based therapies or other virus-based therapies.
- A person skilled in the art will understand that “chemotherapies” includes, but is not limited to, therapies involving the use of mitotic inhibitors, IMiDS such as lenalidomide or pomalidomide, chromatin modifying agents, HDAC inhibitors such as SAHA, hypomethylating agents, alkylating agents, mTOR inhibitors, tyrosine kinase inhibitors, proteasome inhibitors, antimetabolites, DNA damaging or DNA regulating agents, phosphodiesterase inhibitors, SMAC mimetics such as LCL161, corticosteroids and cytokine/chemokines.
- For example, chemotherapy would include therapies that use: alkylating agents, DNA damaging agents or DNA regulating agents, mitotic inhibitors, tyrosine kinase inhibitors, proteasome inhibitors, IMiDS, antimetabolites, mTOR inhibitors, chromatin modifying agents, HDAC inhibitors, hypomethylating agents, phosphodiesterase inhibitors, corticosteroids and cytokines/chemokines. Specific chemotherapies include, but are not limited to; bendamustine, busulfan, carboplatin, carmustine, chlorambucil, cisplatin, cyclophosphamide, dacarbazine, lomustine, melphalan, temozolomide, thiotepa, oxaliplatin, procarbazine, pentostatin, cladribine, clofarabine, cytarabine, fludarabine, gemcitabine, hydroxyurea, mercaptopurine, nelarabine, fluorouracil, bleomycin, dactinomycin, daunorubicin, doxorubicin, doxorubicin liposomal, idarubicin, mitoxantrone, capecitabine, topotecan, irinotecan, etoposide, paclitaxel, teniposide, thioguanine, omacetaxin, altretamine, asparaginase, asparaginase, pegaspargase, Isotretinoin, retinoic acid, arsenic, vinblastine, vincristine, vincristine liposomal, bosutinib, dasatinib, imatinib, nilotinib, sunitinib, vemurafenib, regorafenib, bortezomib, carfilzomib, thalidomide, lenalidomide, pomalidomide, methotrexate, pralatrexate, everolimus, Temsirolimus, vorinostat, romidepsin, valproic acid, decitabine, azacitidine, anagrelide, cortisone, dexamethasone, prednisone and triamcinolone, interferon alfa 2a, interferon alfa 2b, peginterferon alfa 2b, interferon beta 1 b, aldesleukin/IL-2, denileukin diftitox, granulocyte colony stimulating factor and granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor.
- For the purposes of the present disclosure, the term “immunotherapies” shall mean immunotherapies targeting CD20 (such as rituximab, Ibritumomabtiuxetan and tositumomab), CD47, CD33, CD38, CD138, CS1, CD52 (such as alemtuzimab), VEGF (such as bevacizumab), Her2/Neu (such as Trastuzumab), EGFR (such as cetuximab and nimotuzumab), CTLA4 (such as ipilimumab) or IGF-1 (such as ganitumab). Other immunotherapies known to a person skilled in the art may also be included within the scope of the term “immuno-therapies”.
- The reference to “oncolytic virus-based therapies” includes those known in the art, including Pox virus-based therapies (Vaccinia-based viruses), Herpes Simplex Virus-based therapies (OncoVEXGM-CSF), Rhabdovirus-based therapies (MG1, VSV-IFNb, VSVd51), Reovirus (Reolysin), Adenovirus-based therapies (ONYX 015), Measles virus-based therapies, New Castle Disease virus-based therapies, Alpha virus-based therapies, and Parvovirus species-based therapies.
- NRVPs and NRRPs can be administered intratumorally, intranasally, intramuscularly, intradermally, intraperitoneally, intra-arterially, intravenously, subcutaneously or intracranially.
- The oncolytic properties of NRRPs in several different in-vitro and in-vivo models using two different Rhabdovirus-derived strains and several different cell types including patient samples were demonstrated, as discussed in greater detail below.
- Tumor specific cytotoxicity was characterized in a number of assays including microscopy characterization of cellular phenotype, resazurin cytotoxicity quantification, and flow cytometry of tumor cell killing.
- Using an immune-protection model against L1210 indicates that NRRP activation of programmed cell death pathways leads to the generation of innate and adaptive immune response against the tumor. As such, treatment with NRRPs does not require each cell to become infected to maintain efficacy, and therefore may be used as a treatment alone or as an adjuvant in an anticancer therapeutic regimens.
- Luminex-based quantification of cytokines induced by NRRPs in L1210 bearing mice during acute blast crisis was also performed. All identified cytokines were induced over 2 fold by NRRP-treated mice and are statistically significant (non-paired t-test pV<0.05). pV has been corrected to account for multiple hypothesis testing (Benjamini & Hochberg Method).
- This experiment also shows that NRRPs may be optimally effective when applied at a high NRRP to cell ratio (i.e., >1). This higher dosing ensures that the majority of cells within a cell population encounter a cytotoxic NRRP. This contrasts live OV therapies, which rely on viral spread to hopefully achieve therapeutic efficacy, and inherently utilize a low OV to cell ratio to promote safe delivery to the recipient.
- For all figures except
FIG. 1A , NRRPs were generated by UVC-irradiation at a dose of 250 mJ/cm2 of a 50 μl sample of 1E10 PFU/ml of live VSV-GFP, purified using a sucrose cushion method where the virus preparation was centrifuged through a 20% (w/v) sucrose cushion in water (5 ml) at 148,000×g for 120 minutes. - UV photonic damage of rhabdoviruses may be used to generate a non-replicating virus-derived particle that retained bioactivity. Using high-dose UV irradiation ablates the rhabdoviruses's genome, rendering the virus biologically inert. However, it has now been discovered that UV irradiation may be applied at a dose that still allows the virus to bind and be internalized by a cell, but stops, or substantially reduces, the ability of the particle to form new virus particles when the virus particle is in the cell. Accordingly, virus replication is lost, yet biological activities are maintained.
- It was determined that irradiation of purified VSV (a Rhabdovirus) expressing green fluorescent protein with a dose between about 100 and about 1000 mJ/cm2 dose of UV fluence generates a NRRP that retains cytolytic tropism against immortalized cells (
FIGS. 1A and 1B ), but that lacks the ability to spread between cells (FIG. 2A ). - A 250 mJ/cm2 dose of UV irradiation was applied to the wild type strain of VSV to generate VSV-based NRRPs according to the present disclosure. In
FIG. 1A , the UV dose 1E2 corresponds to 100 mJ/cm2. As such, when irradiated at a dose of 250 mJ/cm2), VSV-eGFP lost its expression capabilities, yet maintained potent cytotoxicity against the immortalized production cell line (Vero) (FIG. 2B ). Tittering of the virus following infection confirmed that the resulting particle was unable to replicate in these cells in sharp contrast with live virus infection (FIG. 2C ). This effect was equally observed when using other members of the Rhabdovirus family, including Maraba (FIGS. 3A, 3B and 3C ). - Dose response curves, shown in
FIG. 1A , indicate that cytotoxicity is reduced at UV doses above 1000 mJ/cm2 and completely abrogated at a UV dose of 10,000 mJ/cm2. It is believed that cytotoxicity is abrogated at this dose because the G proteins are cross-linked to such an extent that they are unable to allow the treated virus to bind the cell surface and/or be internalized by the cell. By comparing and contrasting with normal neonatal human dermal fibroblats (HDF) (FIGS. 1A and 1B ), it appears that cytotoxicity is preferential to cancerous cells over non-cancerous cells. Indeed, non-cancerous cells appear to require around 10 times more virus to become sensitive to NRRP-mediated cytotoxicity (FIG. 1B ). - To confirm the absence of NRRP replication and spread in acute leukemia cells, GFP synthesis and viral titers were quantified following in-vitro treatment of an aggressive murine acute lymphoblastic leukemia cell line (L1210), alongside the Vero control cell line (normal kidney epithelial cells). In both treated cell lines, no detectable live virus was observed (
FIGS. 4A and 4B ). - Western blot analysis of the viral genome indicates that the NRRPs have a reduced global genome expression (
FIG. 5 ). UV-doses which block virion production and decrease genome expression are associated with distinct oncolytic activity. In these experiments, a high (greater than or equal to 1) multiplicity of infection (MOI), or particle to cell ratio, may be used to ensure that each tumor cell encounters a NRRP and induces extensive cell death across the population (FIG. 1B ). - In another example, NRRPs were chemically generated by treating VSV with 6 mg/mL of busulfan at 4° C. for 24 hours and added to Vero cells for 24 hours. Less than 4% of the Vero cells remained viable after treatment (
FIG. 6A ). This effect was attributable to the NRRPs since treatment with busulfan alone for 24 hours showed that Vero cells remained around 82% viable (FIG. 6B ).FIG. 6C shows cytopathic effect of live VSV-GFP infected Vero cells at 24 hours and that this live virus stock (VSV-GFP), from which the NRRPs were derived, was indeed replication competent—by evidence of GFP expression. - In yet another example, NRRPs were generated by irradiating 1E10 frozen VSV with 15 kGy Cobalt-60 at −80° C. and 1000 particles per cell were added to Vero cells for 48 hours. Again, the cytopathic effect of NRRPs was clearly evident on these immortalized cells (
FIG. 7A ). The NRRP-induced morphological effects of cellular apoptosis and death compare to the cytopathic effects of treating the same cells with live VSV-GFP, over the same time period of 48 hours (FIG. 7B ). Vero cells treated with PBS alone remained fully viable, without cytopathic effects and showed no fluorescence (FIG. 7C ). - Whether acute leukemia cells are susceptible to NRRP-mediated cell death was examined with VSV-based NRRPs generated by the UV method. First, the cytotoxicity induced in the L1210 cell line and that observed in normal Human Dermal Fibroblasts (HDF) was determined. While both cell lines were susceptible to live virus infection, NRRPs exclusively induced death in leukemic L1210 cells (
FIG. 8A ). The classic apoptotic phenotype, characterized by a reduced cell diameter, a “shriveled” appearance with numerous apoptotic bodies and fragmented nuclear content, was observed in acute leukemia L1210 cells. Cytotoxicity was quantified using a standard resazurin assay in several human and murine cell lines. In these experiments, acute leukemias were highly susceptible to NRRP-mediated cell death while preserving the viability of normal cells (FIG. 8B ). Similar results were determined using Maraba-based NRRPs, an alternative Rhabdovirus strain (FIGS. 3A and 3B ). The absence of genome expression was confirmed by fluorescence microscopy (FIG. 8C ). - The level of apoptosis in L1210 cell lines was quantified by flow cytometry. Thirty hours post treatment, NRRPs induced extensive (84% of population) early/late apoptosis (
FIG. 9 ). VSV-induced apoptosis has been shown to directly correlate with the level of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress present (10). Interestingly, when the cell's capacity to mitigate ER stress is breached, immunogenic apoptosis can be induced (16). NRRPs induce this unique form of cellular death as described later. - In other examples, L1210 leukemia cells were treated with NRRPs in combination with either 300 μM bendamustine (
FIG. 10 ); 45 μM dexamethasone (FIG. 11 ); 0.025 μM doxorubicin (FIG. 12 ) or 0.0125 μM vincristine (FIG. 13 ) for 72 hours. NRRPs are shown to induce cytotoxic effect on their own in the usual manner however in combination with the above drugs additional and/or synergistic cytotoxic effect is observed. This demonstrates that a unique therapeutic potentiation-effect occurs when NRRP-therapy is combined with other chemotherapeutics/pharmacologics. - In yet another example, K562 Ph-positive myeloid leukemic cells were treated with UV-generated NRRPs in combination with 0.05 μM irarubicin (
FIG. 14 ) for 72 hours. In this example as well, the myeloid leukemic cell line was highly susceptible to NRRP-mediated cell death and a potentiation-effect was again observed using this class of chemotherapeutic in combination with NRRPs. These observations indicate that NRRP-therapy may indeed be augmented by the use of additional therapeutics. This represents an alternative strategy to treat cancer, particularly recalcitrant forms of cancer that may require this unique combinatorial approach for increased efficacy. - The model used to describe NRRPs specificity against cells with defects in anti-viral signalling pathways was adapted from our previous work described in LeBoeuf et al 2013 (
FIG. 15A ). Briefly, this model is represented by a subset of six ordinary differential equations describing the transition between the cell populations (UP, IP, AP and PP) depending on the concentration of NRRPs (N) and interferon (IFN) in the environment. These equations are: -
- The parameters used in the above equations represent the NRRP internalization rate (KNI), the rate of IFN-signaling activation (KIFN on), the rate of IFN-signaling inactivation (KIFN off), the EC50 of IFN (EC50), the rate of cell death (γC) and the rate NRRP clearance (KNC).
- The next subset of equation describes the dynamics of NVRPs (N) and interferon (IFN) whereby:
-
- The parameters described in the above equations represent the rate of NRRP internalization (KNI), NRRP degradation (γN), IFN production from IP, AP and PP (KIFN1, KIFN2.1 and KIFN2.2, respectively) and IFN degradation (γIFN).
- The Monte Carlo simulation was performed by randomly varying the above parameters within a 1 log window (Table 2) surrounding physiological parameter derived from literature and experimental evidence (18). Simulations were performed in Matlab using ODE15s imposing a none-negativity constraint. Trends described in
FIG. 15B represent the median value over 1000 simulations. The number of cells used in these simulations was 2.5E5, the media volume was set at 1 ml, and the PFU to cell ratio was set at 100 particles per cell. In these simulation, defects in IFN-signalling pathways were simulated by decreasing KIFN1, KIFN2.1, KIFN2.2, Kvc and KIFN on from 100% to 1% of their original value. - To investigate the mechanism by which specificity against the tumor cells is achieved, the authors of the present disclosure simulated the cytotoxicity induced by NRRPs in normal and tumor cells. Recently, the authors of the present disclosure have developed a population-based model describing the relationship between cytotoxicity and live oncolytic virus replication dynamics in normal and tumor cells. According to this model, an infection cycle begins as the uninfected population of cells (UP) encounters virions. This allows the UP population to become infected, and, in the context of live virus, virions and the cytokine known as interferon (IFN) are released into the environment.
- As IFN gradually increases, the population of cells activates antiviral signalling (AP) which over time allows this population to clear the viral infection and become protected against further insult (PP). To adapt this model to NRRPs, the authors of the present disclosure removed virus replication dynamics from the model, and simulated the relationship between NRRP-mediated cytotoxicity and the extent of defects in IFN signaling pathways, a process known to occur in ˜80% of cancers. These defects were simulated by decreasing the rate of IFN production, the rate of activation of IFN signaling and the rate of NRRP clearance between tumor and normal cells. To ensure that this observation is systematic, a Monte-Carlo simulation platform was utilized. Here, all kinetic parameters were varied within a 1 log window surrounding estimates derived from literature or experimental evidence (Table 2).
- Following simulation across 1000 random parameter pairings (
FIG. 15B ), the authors of the present disclosure determined that as the cancer cells lose their ability to signal or respond to IFN, these cells becomes more sensitive to NRRP-mediated cytotoxicity. To validate this observation, the authors of the present disclosure investigated the impact of IFN on NRRP-mediated cytotoxicity in normal (HDF) and leukemic (L1210) cells. Interestingly, while the IntronA (recombinant IFN) could further increase normal cell protection against NRRP insult (FIG. 15C ), IntronA had no detectable impact on leukemic cells (FIG. 15D ). - Table 2: List of parameters estimates surrounding the experimental and literature evidence described by Le Boeuf et al (2013)

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were obtained from two human patients with high-burden acute blast crisis, and susceptibility towards NRRP-mediated cell death was tested. The patients had circulating blasts with a CD33 positive phenotype. Both had previously received extensive treatment for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and developed resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment. Similar to the observation in L1210 blast cells, patient samples developed obvious NRRP-induced apoptosis with the classic morphology (
FIG. 16A ). Fluorescence microscopy confirmed the absence of NRRP genome expression (FIG. 16B ). Indeed post NRRP-treatment these CD33+ leukemia cells stained strongly for the apoptotic marker Annexin V (FIG. 16C ). Use of the non-cultured patient samples was used to evaluate specificity of this response. Indeed in both patients, the preponderant leukemic CD33+ population was ablated following NRRP treatment, leaving normal cells to dominate the sample (FIG. 16D ). - To ensure that NRRPs do not affect normal white blood cells, bone marrow mononuclear cells isolated from a healthy donor were treated with PBS or NRRPs. At both early (18 hour) and late (65 hour) time points, NRRPs did not induce apoptosis within these samples (
FIGS. 17A and 17B ). - A murine model of leukemic blast crisis was used to evaluate the potential of NRRPs as a therapeutic agent. Briefly, on day one, DBA/2 mice were challenged with 1×106 dose of L1210 blast cells. The following day, mice began a regimen of 3×109 NRRPs administered intravenously for three consecutive days, and survival was monitored. In parallel, separate cohorts of mice were treated with live VSV at the MTD of 2×106 virus per injection (19), or PBS under the same treatment schedule. NRRP treated mice achieved 80% survival up to
day 40, representing a significant advantage versus those treated with PBS (P≤1.0045) or live virus (P≤0.044) (FIG. 18A ). NRRPs were well tolerated and administered at the maximal feasible dose for this particular experiment, which represented a 1500× higher dose than the MTD of live virus. Given that acute leukemia frequently disseminates to the central nervous system, and that wild type VSV is highly neurotoxic, intracranial injections of NRRPs and live virus were performed. While mice could tolerate the maximum production dose for intracranial injections of 1×108 particles, all mice rapidly succumbed to a 1×104 dose of live virus. - Prompted by the efficacy and differential MTD afforded by NRRP therapy, it is interesting to know whether the immune system is activated following treatment. Murine blood serum was collected from L1210
tumor bearing mice 20 hours after PBS or NRRPs treatment (FIG. 18B ). In this analysis, it is clear that cytokines typically known to recruit and differentiate T-cells are induced following NRRP treatment. Examples of such immune-modulatory cytokines significantly induced by NRRP treatment include the leukemia inhibitory factor LIF, IL-2, IL-4, CCL-2, RANTES and MIP-1a (FIG. 18B ). - To confirm immune system stimulation, in particular T-cell activation, the authors of the present disclosure adopted a vaccine strategy described in previous publications. Experimentally, this platform consists of injecting apoptotic cells into immunocompetent animals and measuring protective adaptive immunity against subsequent tumor challenge. Indeed, L1210 cells treated with NRRPs develop marked apoptosis as can be seen in
FIG. 16C by the increase in Annexin-V staining. Therefore, this classical experimental approach was adopted to explore whether NRRPs trigger immunogenic apoptosis. - Two cohorts of DBA/2 mice (syngeneic to L1210) received three weekly intravenous doses of 1×106 γ-irradiated L1210 cells pre-treated with NRRPs. Another cohort received the same number of γ-irradiated L1210 cells. One week following this regimen, a L1210 leukemic challenge (1×106 cells) was administered via tail vein, and survival recorded. The cohort receiving NRRP-treated L1210 cells had 80% protection after leukemic challenge, which was otherwise uniformly lethal in the untreated L1210-administered cohorts (
FIG. 19 ). Surviving mice were kept for >150 days to ensure long-lasting protection. This is consistent with the notion that NRRP-treated acute leukemia cells undergo immunogenic apoptosis. - Using acute lymphoblastic and myeloid leukemia cell lines, as well as primary leukemia cells from heavily pre-treated CML patients in acute blast crisis, it is demonstrated that NRRPs are at least leukemia-specific cytolytic agents. Through the in-vitro and in-vivo experiments detailed above, it is confirmed that NRRPs offer a multimodal therapeutic platform.
- In addition to the experiments detailed above, NRRPs were also shown to be cytopathic in multiple myeloma cell lines MCP-11 and RPMI-8226 (
FIG. 20 ) when the cells lines were treated with PBS or VSV-derived NRRPs for 15 hours. Specifically,FIG. 21 shows cell viability following an Alamar blue cytotoxicity or resazurin assay for myeloma cell lines taken 72 hours post treatment with NRRPs administered at an MOI=250. In this experiment, SR4987 is a normal marrow stromal cell line. As seen inFIG. 21 , SR4987 demonstrates resistance to NRRPs as it is a non-malignant cell. No NRRP or VSV genome replication was found when the NRRPs were generated, since no viral-encoded GFP was produced (data not shown). - In another example, MCP-11 multiple myeloma cell line was treated with 20 μM melphalan (
FIG. 22 ) or 15 μM SMAC mimetic LCL161 (FIG. 23 ) in combination with NRRPs. Combination therapy augmented the cytopathic effect of NRRPs in both cases. Synergistic activity between SMAC mimetics and NRRPs represents a promising approach. It is observed that SMAC mimetic anti-tumor activity is significantly augmented or in some cases essentially dependent-upon NRRP co-administration. - In yet another example, RPMI-8226 multiple myeloma cell line was treated with 5 nM carfilzomib with potentiating cytotoxic effect (
FIG. 24 ). It is demonstrated that co-administration of NRRPs with an alkylating agent (such as melphalan), a proteasome inhibitor (such as carfilzomib) or a SMAC mimetic (such as LCL161) represents an alternative treatment strategy for various cancers, particularly promising in hematopoietic-based cancers, such as multiple myeloma. - The usefulness of NRRPs as an anti-cancer therapeutic is further demonstrated by its effect on brain tumor cell lines. NRRPs-mediated cytotoxicity was determined in glioblastoma cell line CT2A, delayed brain tumor glioblastoma cell line (DBT) (
FIG. 25A ), astrocytoma cell lines K1491 (FIG. 25B ) and K1492, and mouse glioma cell line (GL261) (FIG. 25C ), compared to HDNF normal cells, when these cells were treated for 24 hrs with PBS or NRRPs (FIG. 26 ). - Also, in yet another example, glioblastoma cell line CT2A was treated with 10 μM of the HDAC inhibitor SAHA in combination with NRRPs and a potentiation cytopathic effect was observed compared to NRRPs with PBS (
FIG. 27 ). HDAC inhibition has shown a modicum of promise as an anti-cancer agent. However, in combination with NRRPs, significant activity is noted, representing a very promising approach to treat glioblastoma-based malignancies, an unmet clinical need. - Renal (786-0) and breast cancer (4T1) cell lines are equally sensitive to the cytopathic effects of NRRPs (
FIGS. 28A, 28B, 28C ). In this series of experiments, cell lines were treated with NRRPs at an MOI=250 and viability was quantified by resazurin assay over a 72 h period. Fluorescence microscopy performed throughout the experiment confirmed the absence of genome expression. - In another example, subcutaneous CT26 colon cancer cells were implanted into mice. The mice were then treated with 2E9 NRRPs on
days 16, 18 and 21 post tumor embedment (FIG. 29 ). Despite large tumor burden prior to NRRP-treatment, prolonged survival and cures were obtained when NRRPs were administered via the intratumoral or intravenous routes. PBS control-treated mice all rapidly reached endpoint. This model represents additional evidence that solid tumors may also be amenable to NRRP-based regimens. - The Examples above show through in-silico and in-vitro testing that NRRPs, analogous to live virus, are tumor-selective given that they exploit defects in innate immune pathways common to most tumors. However, the safety margin afforded by the NRRP platform was exemplified by the observation that high titer intracranial NRRP administration was well tolerated by murine recipients.
- The outcome for the majority of adult patients suffering from acute lymphoblastic or acute myeloid leukemia remains dismal. For a minority of patients, allogeneic stem cell transplantation after myeloablative conditioning is potentially curative, however this procedure is associated with frequent adverse events and significant treatment-related mortality. For many patients with chronic-phase CML, targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy offers excellent disease control. When progression into acute blast crisis occurs, very limited therapeutic options exist due to development of multi drug resistance and the rapid kinetics of this form of recalcitrant leukemia.
- NRRPs exhibit both direct cytolytic and immunogenic properties in multiple acute leukemia murine models. A peculiar form of programmed cell death involves the induction of adaptive immune responses against the dying cell. This process, commonly referred to as immunogenic apoptosis, is essential to the efficacy of several current chemotherapeutics and is required for host defense against viral infection including live RVs. The in-vivo results above indicate that a similar process is induced by NRRPs and is a driving factor to treatment efficacy.
- More relevant are the observations that multi-drug resistant primary myeloblasts from patients in CML blast-crisis are forced into apoptosis and finally eradicated by NRRP treatment. In addition, non-leukemic white cells procured from healthy bone marrow were not adversely affected. This observation suggests that despite the potent tumoricidal activity of NRRPs, the leukopenia commonly observed after standard induction and consolidation chemotherapy could be avoided. This may significantly decrease treatment related adverse events. Further, given the preservation of normal white blood cells during leukemic cytoreduction by NRRPs, the simultaneous induction of an effective anti-leukemic immune response may be attainable for the majority of patients who are not candidates for high-dose radio-chemotherapy followed by allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Following the induction of immunogenic apoptosis by NRRPs, a broad array of immunomodulatory cytokine are released and likely assist in the development of effective adaptive immune activity—a critical component to achieving durable curative responses.
- The Examples demonstrate the production of high-titer NRRPs. Through the induction cell lysis mainly via programmed cell death pathways, systemic and intratumoral immune responses, including natural killer cell activation as well as dendritic cell activation, or vasculature shutdown within the tumor—NRRPs harbor several anti-cancer properties. These features may be exploited by using NRRPs alone or as an adjuvant in combination with radiation therapies, chemotherapies, immuno-therapies, surgery, oncolytic-virus derived or other virus-derived therapeutic platforms.
- In the preceding description, for purposes of explanation, numerous details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the examples. However, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that these specific details are not required.
- The above-described examples are intended to be exemplary only. Alterations, modifications and variations can be effected to the particular examples by those of skill in the art without departing from the scope, which is defined solely by the claims appended hereto.
