Definitions

  • Senescence was first described in cultured human fibroblast cells that lost their ability to proliferate, reaching permanent arrest after about 50 population doublings (referred to as the Hayflick limit). Senescence is considered a stress response that can be induced by a wide range of intrinsic and extrinsic insults, including oxidative and genotoxic stress, DNA damage, telomere attrition, oncogenic activation, mitochondrial dysfunction, or chemotherapeutic agents. Senescent cells remain metabolically active and can influence tissue hemostasis, disease, and aging through their secretory phenotype. Senescence is considered as a physiologic process and is important in promoting wound healing, tissue homeostasis, regeneration, and regulation of fibrosis.
  • transient induction of senescent cells is observed during would healing and contributes to wound resolution.
  • Senescence also plays a role in tumor suppression.
  • the accumulation of senescent cells also drives aging and aging-related diseases and conditions.
  • the senescent phenotype also can trigger chronic inflammatory responses and consequently augment chronic inflammatory conditions to promote tumor growth.
  • the connection between senescence and aging was initially based on the observation that senescent cells accumulate in aged tissue.
  • the use of transgenic models has enabled the detection of senescent cells systematically in many aging-related disorders. Strategies to selectively eliminate senescent cells have demonstrated that senescent cells play a causal role in aging-related disorders.
  • immune cells are the effector cells to remove senescent cells naturally after the fulfillment of senescent-cell physiological roles.
  • the weakening of the immune system during the aging process allows the accumulation of senescent cells.
  • the present invention is based on the discovery that subcutaneous administration of an agent that results in a decrease in the activation of a TGF- ⁇ receptor or a common gamma-chain family cytokine receptor activating agent (e.g., complexes of gamma-chain cytokines and their cognate receptors) to a mammal promotes and activates immune cells to regain their capabilities of reducing senescent cells in vivo effectively, selectively, and safely.

  • tissue factor and FVIIa on the tissue factor-FVIIa complex greatly increases the enzymatic activity of FVIIa: an approximate 20- to 100-fold increase in the rate of hydrolysis of small, chromogenic peptidyl substrates, and nearly a million-fold increase in the rate of activation of the natural macromolecular substrates FIX and FX.

  • FVII is a ⁇ 50 kDa, single-chain polypeptide consisting of 406 amino acid residues, with an N-terminal ⁇ -carboxyglutamate-rich (GLA) domain, two epidermal growth factor-like domains (EGF1 and EFG2), and a C-terminal serine protease domain.
  • GLA N-terminal ⁇ -carboxyglutamate-rich
  • EGF1 and EFG2 epidermal growth factor-like domains
  • C-terminal serine protease domain is activated to FVIIa by a specific proteolytic cleavage of the Ile- 154 -Arg 152 bond in the short linker region between the EGF2 and the protease domain. This cleavage results in the light and heavy chains being held together by a single disulfide bond of Cys 135 and Cys 262 .
  • FVIIa binds phospholipid membrane in a Ca 2+ -dependent manner through its N- terminal GLA-domain.
  • GLA domain Immediately C-terminal to the GLA domain is an aromatic stack and two EGF domains.
  • the aromatic stack connects the GLA to EGF1 domain which binds a single Ca 2+ ion. Occupancy of this Ca 2+ -binding site increases FVIIa amidolytic activity and tissue factor association.
  • the catalytic triad consist of His 193 , Asp 242 , and Ser 344 , and binding of a single Ca 2+ ion within the FVIIa protease domain is critical for its catalytic activity.
  • FVIIa Proteolytic activation of FVII to FVIIa frees the newly formed amino terminus at Ile 153 to fold back and be inserted into the activation pocket forming a salt bridge with the carboxylate of Asp 343 to generate the oxyanion hole. Formation of this salt bridge is critical for FVIIa activity. However, oxyanion hole formation does not occur in free FVIIa upon proteolytic activation. As a result, FVIIa circulates in a zymogen-like state that is poorly recognized by plasma protease inhibitors, allowing it to circulate with a half-life of approximately 90 minutes. Tissue factor-mediated positioning of the FVIIa active site above the membrane surface is important for FVIIa towards cognate substrates.
  • Free FVIIa adopts a stable, extended structure when bound to the membrane with its active site positioned ⁇ 80 ⁇ above the membrane surface.
  • the FVa active site Upon FVIIa binding to tissue factor, the FVa active site is repositioned ⁇ 6 ⁇ closer to the membrane. This modulation may aid in a proper alignment of the FVIIa catalytic triad with the target substrate cleavage site.

  • tissue factor supported full FVIIa proteolytic activity as long as the tissue factor extracellular domain was tethered in some way to the membrane surface.
  • raising the active site of FVIIa greater than 80 ⁇ above the membrane surface greatly reduced the ability of the tissue factor-FVIIa complex to activate FX but did not diminish tissue factor-FVIIa amidolytic activity.
  • Alanine scanning mutagenesis has been used to assess the role of specific amino acid side chains in the tissue factor extracellular domain for interaction with FVIIa (Gibbs et al., Biochemistry 33(47): 14003-14010, 1994; Schullek et al., J Biol Chem 269(30): 19399-19403, 1994).

  • Trp 45 and Asp 44 do not interact independently with FVIIa, indicating that the mutational effect at the Trp 45 position may reflect a structural importance of this side chain for the local packing of the adjacent Asp 44 and Gln 37 side chain.
  • the interactive area further includes two surface- exposed aromatic residues, Phe 76 and Tyr 78 , which form part of the hydrophobic cluster in the N-module.
  • the known physiologic substrates of tissue factor-FVIIa are FVII, FIX, and FX and certain proteinase-activated receptors.

Description

METHODS OF TREATING AGING-RELATED DISORDERS CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 63/032,933, filed on June 1, 2020, International Patent Application No. PCT/US2020/035598, filed on June 1, 2020, and U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No.63/118,536, filed on November 25, 2020, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. TECHNICAL FIELD The present disclosure relates to the field of immunology and cell biology. BACKGROUND Senescence is a form of irreversible growth arrest accompanied by phenotypic changes, resistance to apoptosis, and activation of damage-sensing signaling pathways. Cellular senescence was first described in cultured human fibroblast cells that lost their ability to proliferate, reaching permanent arrest after about 50 population doublings (referred to as the Hayflick limit). Senescence is considered a stress response that can be induced by a wide range of intrinsic and extrinsic insults, including oxidative and genotoxic stress, DNA damage, telomere attrition, oncogenic activation, mitochondrial dysfunction, or chemotherapeutic agents. Senescent cells remain metabolically active and can influence tissue hemostasis, disease, and aging through their secretory phenotype. Senescence is considered as a physiologic process and is important in promoting wound healing, tissue homeostasis, regeneration, and regulation of fibrosis. For instance, transient induction of senescent cells is observed during would healing and contributes to wound resolution. Senescence also plays a role in tumor suppression. The accumulation of senescent cells also drives aging and aging-related diseases and conditions. The senescent phenotype also can trigger chronic inflammatory responses and consequently augment chronic inflammatory conditions to promote tumor growth. The connection between senescence and aging was initially based on the observation that senescent cells accumulate in aged tissue. The use of transgenic models has enabled the detection of senescent cells systematically in many aging-related disorders. Strategies to selectively eliminate senescent cells have demonstrated that senescent cells play a causal role in aging-related disorders. Cellular senescence is a series of progressive and phenotypically diverse cellular states that are acquired after initial growth arrest (van Deursen, Nature 509(7501):439- 446, 2014) Thus, senescent cells are heterogeneous populations of cells with few shared core properties (Dou et al., Nature 550(7676):402-406, 2017). Identifying common senolytic drug targets, therefore, is difficult. This further precludes the achievement of a goal of developing senolytics that selectively, safety, and effectively eliminate senescent cells upon systemic administration. As described above, immune cells are the effector cells to remove senescent cells naturally after the fulfillment of senescent-cell physiological roles.(Brighton et al., Elife 6, 2017) The weakening of the immune system during the aging process allows the accumulation of senescent cells.(Karin et al., Nat. Comm.10(1):5495, 2019; Chambers et al., J. Allergy Clin. Immunol.145(5):1323-1331, 2020). SUMMARY The present invention is based on the discovery that subcutaneous administration of an agent that results in a decrease in the activation of a TGF-β receptor or a common gamma-chain family cytokine receptor activating agent (e.g., complexes of gamma-chain cytokines and their cognate receptors) to a mammal promotes and activates immune cells to regain their capabilities of reducing senescent cells in vivo effectively, selectively, and safely. In view of this discovery, provided herein are methods of killing or reducing the number of naturally-occurring and/or treatment-induced senescent cells in a subject that include administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of one or more agent(s) that result(s) in a decrease in the activation of a TGF-β receptor.

Tissue Factor Human tissue factor is a 263 amino-acid transmembrane protein containing three domains: (1) a 219-amino acid N-terminal extracellular domain (residues 1-219); (2) a 22-amino acid transmembrane domain (residues 220-242); and (3) a 21-amino acid cytoplasmic C-terminal tail (residues 242-263) ((UniProtKB Identifier Number: P13726). The cytoplasmic tail contains two phosphorylation sites at Ser253 and Ser258, and one S- palmitoylation site at Cys245. Deletion or mutation of the cytoplasmic domain was not found to affect tissue factor coagulation activity. Tissue factor has one S-palmitoylation site in the intracellular domain of the protein at Cys245. The Cys245 is located at the amino acid terminus of the intracellular domain and close to the membrane surface. The tissue factor transmembrane domain is composed of a single-spanning α-helix. The extracellular domain of tissue factor, composed of two fibronectin type III domains, is connected to the transmembrane domain through a six-amino acid linker. This linker provides conformational flexibility to decouple the tissue factor extracellular domain from its transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains. Each tissue factor fibronectin type III module is composed of two overlapping β sheets with the top sheet domain containing three antiparallel β-strands and the bottom sheet containing four β-strands. The β-strands are connected by β-loops between strand βA and βB, βC and βD, and βE and βF, all of which are conserved in conformation in the two modules. There are three short α-helix segments connecting the β-strands. A unique feature of tissue factor is a 17- amino acid β-hairpin between strand β10 and strand β11, which is not a common element of the fibronectin superfamily. The N-terminal domain also contains a 12 amino acid loop between β6F and β7G that is not present in the C-terminal domain and is unique to tissue factor. Such a fibronectin type III domain structure is a feature of the immunoglobulin-like family of protein folds and is conserved among a wide variety of extracellular proteins. The zymogen FVII is rapidly converted to FVIIa by limited proteolysis once it binds to tissue to form the active tissue factor-FVIIa complex. The FVIIa, which circulates as an enzyme at a concentration of approximately 0.1 nM (1% of plasma FVII), can also bind directly to tissue factor. The allosteric interaction between tissue factor and FVIIa on the tissue factor-FVIIa complex greatly increases the enzymatic activity of FVIIa: an approximate 20- to 100-fold increase in the rate of hydrolysis of small, chromogenic peptidyl substrates, and nearly a million-fold increase in the rate of activation of the natural macromolecular substrates FIX and FX. In concert with allosteric activation of the active site of FVIIa upon binding to tissue factor, the formation of tissue factor-FVIIa complex on phospholipid bilayer (i.e., upon exposure of phosphatidyl-L-serine on membrane surfaces) increases the rate of FIX or FX activation, in a Ca2+-dependent manner, an additional 1,000-fold. The roughly million-fold overall increase in FX activation by tissue factor-FVIIa-phospholipid complex relative to free FVIIa is a critical regulatory point for the coagulation cascade. FVII is a ~50 kDa, single-chain polypeptide consisting of 406 amino acid residues, with an N-terminal γ-carboxyglutamate-rich (GLA) domain, two epidermal growth factor-like domains (EGF1 and EFG2), and a C-terminal serine protease domain. FVII is activated to FVIIa by a specific proteolytic cleavage of the Ile-154-Arg152 bond in the short linker region between the EGF2 and the protease domain. This cleavage results in the light and heavy chains being held together by a single disulfide bond of Cys135 and Cys262. FVIIa binds phospholipid membrane in a Ca2+-dependent manner through its N- terminal GLA-domain. Immediately C-terminal to the GLA domain is an aromatic stack and two EGF domains. The aromatic stack connects the GLA to EGF1 domain which binds a single Ca2+ ion. Occupancy of this Ca2+-binding site increases FVIIa amidolytic activity and tissue factor association. The catalytic triad consist of His193, Asp242, and Ser344, and binding of a single Ca2+ ion within the FVIIa protease domain is critical for its catalytic activity. Proteolytic activation of FVII to FVIIa frees the newly formed amino terminus at Ile153 to fold back and be inserted into the activation pocket forming a salt bridge with the carboxylate of Asp343 to generate the oxyanion hole. Formation of this salt bridge is critical for FVIIa activity. However, oxyanion hole formation does not occur in free FVIIa upon proteolytic activation. As a result, FVIIa circulates in a zymogen-like state that is poorly recognized by plasma protease inhibitors, allowing it to circulate with a half-life of approximately 90 minutes. Tissue factor-mediated positioning of the FVIIa active site above the membrane surface is important for FVIIa towards cognate substrates. Free FVIIa adopts a stable, extended structure when bound to the membrane with its active site positioned ~80Å above the membrane surface. Upon FVIIa binding to tissue factor, the FVa active site is repositioned ~6Å closer to the membrane. This modulation may aid in a proper alignment of the FVIIa catalytic triad with the target substrate cleavage site. Using GLA- domainless FVIIa, it has been shown that the active site was still positioned a similar distance above the membrane, demonstrating that tissue factor is able to fully support FVIIa active site positioning even in the absence of FVIIa-membrane interaction. Additional data showed that tissue factor supported full FVIIa proteolytic activity as long as the tissue factor extracellular domain was tethered in some way to the membrane surface. However, raising the active site of FVIIa greater than 80Å above the membrane surface greatly reduced the ability of the tissue factor-FVIIa complex to activate FX but did not diminish tissue factor-FVIIa amidolytic activity. Alanine scanning mutagenesis has been used to assess the role of specific amino acid side chains in the tissue factor extracellular domain for interaction with FVIIa (Gibbs et al., Biochemistry 33(47): 14003-14010, 1994; Schullek et al., J Biol Chem 269(30): 19399-19403, 1994). Alanine substitution identified a limited number of residue positions at which alanine replacements cause 5- to 10-fold lower affinity for FVIIa binding. Most of these residue side chains were found to be well-exposed to solvent in the crystal structure, concordant with macromolecular ligand interaction. The FVIIa ligand-binding site is located over an extensive region at the boundary between the two modules. In the C-module, residues Arg135 and Phe140 located on the protruding B-C loop provide an independent contact with FVIIa. Leu133 is located at the base of the fingerlike structure and packed into the cleft between the two modules. This provides continuity to a major cluster of important binding residues consisting of Lys20, Thr60, Asp58, and Ile22. Thr60 is only partially solvent-exposed and may play a local structural role rather than making a significant contact with ligand. The binding site extends onto the concave side of the intermodule angle involving Glu24 and Gln110, and potentially the more distant residue Val207. The binding region extends from Asp58 onto a convex surface area formed by Lys48, Lys46, Gln37, Asp44, and Trp45. Trp45 and Asp44 do not interact independently with FVIIa, indicating that the mutational effect at the Trp45 position may reflect a structural importance of this side chain for the local packing of the adjacent Asp44 and Gln37 side chain. The interactive area further includes two surface- exposed aromatic residues, Phe76 and Tyr78, which form part of the hydrophobic cluster in the N-module. The known physiologic substrates of tissue factor-FVIIa are FVII, FIX, and FX and certain proteinase-activated receptors. Mutational analysis has identified a number of residues that, when mutated, support full FVIIa amidolytic activity towards small peptidyl substrates but are deficient in their ability to support macromolecular substrate (i.e., FVII, FIX, and FX) activation (Ruf et al., J Biol Chem 267(31): 22206-22210, 1992; Ruf et al., J Biol Chem 267(9): 6375-6381, 1992; Huang et al., J Biol Chem 271(36): 21752-21757, 1996; Kirchhofer et al., Biochemistry 39(25): 7380-7387, 2000). The tissue factor loop region at residues 159-165, and residues in or adjacent to this flexible loop have been shown to be critical for the proteolytic activity of the tissue factor-FVIIa complex. This defines the proposed substrate-binding exosite region of tissue factor that is quite distant from the FVIIa active site. A substitution of the glycine residue by a marginally bulkier residue alanine, significantly impairs tissue factor-FVIIa proteolytic activity. This suggests that the flexibility afforded by glycine is critical for the loop of residues 159-165 for tissue factor macromolecular substrate recognition. The residues Lys165 and Lys166 have also been demonstrated to be important for substrate recognition and binding. Mutation of either of these residues to alanine results in a significant decrease in the tissue factor co-factor function. Lys165 and Lys166 face away from each other, with Lys165 pointing towards FVIIa in most tissue factor-FVIIa structures, and Lys166 pointing into the substrate binding exosite region in the crystal structure. Putative salt bridge formation between Lys165 of and Gla35 of FVIIa would support the notion that tissue factor interaction with the GLA domain of FVIIa modulates substrate recognition. These results suggest that the C-terminal portion of the tissue factor ectodomain directly interacts with the GLA-domain, the possible adjacent EGF1 domains, of FIX and FX, and that the presence of the FVIIa GLA-domain may modulate these interactions either directly or indirectly.

Additional examples of soluble interleukin receptors and soluble cytokine receptors are known in the art. Pairs of Affinity Domains In some embodiments, a multi-chain chimeric polypeptide includes: 1) a first chimeric polypeptide that includes a first domain of a pair of affinity domains, and 2) a second chimeric polypeptide that includes a second domain of a pair of affinity domains such that the first chimeric polypeptide and the second chimeric polypeptide associate through the binding of the first domain and the second domain of the pair of affinity domains. In some embodiments, the pair of affinity domains is a sushi domain from an alpha chain of human IL-15 receptor (IL-15Rα) and a soluble IL-15. A sushi domain, also known as a short consensus repeat or type 1 glycoprotein motif, is a common motif in protein-protein interaction. Sushi domains have been identified on a number of protein-binding molecules, including complement components C1r, C1s, factor H, and C2m, as well as the nonimmunologic molecules factor XIII and β2-glycoprotein. A typical Sushi domain has approximately 60 amino acid residues and contains four cysteines (Ranganathan, Pac. Symp Biocomput.2000:155-67). The first cysteine can form a disulfide bond with the third cysteine, and the second cysteine can form a disulfide bridge with the fourth cysteine. In some embodiments in which one member of the pair of affinity domains is a soluble IL-15, the soluble IL-15 has a D8N or D8A amino acid substitution. In some embodiments in which one member of the pair of affinity domains is an alpha chain of human IL-15 receptor (IL-15Rα), the human IL- 15Rα is a mature full-length IL-15Rα. In some embodiments, the pair of affinity domains is barnase and barnstar. In some embodiments, the pair of affinity domains is a PKA and an AKAP. In some embodiments, the pair of affinity domains is an adapter/docking tag module based on mutated RNase I fragments (Rossi, Proc Natl Acad Sci USA.103:6841-6846, 2006; Sharkey et al., Cancer Res.68:5282-5290, 2008; Rossi et al., Trends Pharmacol Sci.33:474-481, 2012) or SNARE modules based on interactions of the proteins syntaxin, synaptotagmin, synaptobrevin, and SNAP25 (Deyev et al., Nat Biotechnol.1486-1492, 2003). In some embodiments, a first chimeric polypeptide of a multi-chain chimeric polypeptide includes a first domain of a pair of affinity domains and a second chimeric polypeptide of the multi-chain chimeric polypeptide includes a second domain of a pair of affinity domains, wherein the first domain of the pair of affinity domains and the second domain of the pair of affinity domains bind to each other with a dissociation equilibrium constant (KD) of less than 1 x 10-7 M, less than 1 x 10-8 M, less than 1 x 10-9 M, less than 1 x 10-10 M, less than 1 x 10-11 M, less than 1 x 10-12 M, or less than 1 x 10-13 M.

Any of a variety of different methods known in the art can be used to determine the KD value of the binding of the first domain of the pair of affinity domains and the second domain of the pair of affinity domains (e.g., an electrophoretic mobility shift assay, a filter binding assay, surface plasmon resonance, and a biomolecular binding kinetics assay, etc.). In some embodiments, a first chimeric polypeptide of a multi-chain chimeric polypeptide includes a first domain of a pair of affinity domains and a second chimeric polypeptide of the multi-chain chimeric polypeptide includes a second domain of a pair of affinity domains, wherein the first domain of the pair of affinity domains, the second domain of the pair of affinity domains, or both is about 10 to 100 amino acids in length. For example, a first domain of a pair of affinity domains, a second domain of a pair of affinity domains, or both can be about 10 to 100 amino acids in length, about 15 to 100 amino acids in length, about 20 to 100 amino acids in length, about 25 to 100 amino acids in length, about 30 to 100 amino acids in length, about 35 to 100 amino acids in length, about 40 to 100 amino acids in length, about 45 to 100 amino acids in length, about 50 to 100 amino acids in length, about 55 to 100 amino acids in length, about 60 to 100 amino acids in length, about 65 to 100 amino acids in length, about 70 to 100 amino acids in length, about 75 to 100 amino acids in length, about 80 to 100 amino acids in length, about 85 to 100 amino acids in length, about 90 to 100 amino acids in length, about 95 to 100 amino acids in length, about 10 to 95 amino acids in length, about 10 to 90 amino acids in length, about 10 to 85 amino acids in length, about 10 to 80 amino acids in length, about 10 to 75 amino acids in length, about 10 to 70 amino acids in length, about 10 to 65 amino acids in length, about 10 to 60 amino acids in length, about 10 to 55 amino acids in length, about 10 to 50 amino acids in length, about 10 to 45 amino acids in length, about 10 to 40 amino acids in length, about 10 to 35 amino acids in length, about 10 to 30 amino acids in length, about 10 to 25 amino acids in length, about 10 to 20 amino acids in length, about 10 to 15 amino acids in length, about 20 to 30 amino acids in length, about 30 to 40 amino acids in length, about 40 to 50 amino acids in length, about 50 to 60 amino acids in length, about 60 to 70 amino acids in length, about 70 to 80 amino acids in length, about 80 to 90 amino acids in length, about 90 to 100 amino acids in length, about 20 to 90 amino acids in length, about 30 to 80 amino acids in length, about 40 to 70 amino acids in length, about 50 to 60 amino acids in length, or any range in between. In some embodiments, a first domain of a pair of affinity domains, a second domain of a pair of affinity domains, or both is about 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, or 100 amino acids in length. In some embodiments, any of the first and/or second domains of a pair of affinity domains disclosed herein can include one or more additional amino acids (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or more amino acids) at its N-terminus and/or C-terminus, so long as the function of the first and/or second domains of a pair of affinity domains remains intact. For example, a sushi domain from an alpha chain of human IL-15 receptor (IL-15Rα) can include one or more additional amino acids at the N-terminus and/or the C-terminus, while still retaining the ability to bind to a soluble IL-15. Additionally or alternatively, a soluble IL-15 can include one or more additional amino acids at the N-terminus and/or the C-terminus, while still retaining the ability to bind to a sushi domain from an alpha chain of human IL-15 receptor (IL-15Rα). A non-limiting example of a sushi domain from an alpha chain of IL-15 receptor alpha (IL-15Rα) can include a sequence that is at least 70% identical, at least 75% identical, at least 80% identical, at least 85% identical, at least 90% identical, at least 95% identical, at least 99% identical, or 100% identical to ITCPPPMSVEHADIWVKSYSLYSRERYICNSGFKRKAGTSSLTECVLNKATNVAH WTTPSLKCIR (SEQ ID NO: 113).

Signal sequences are heterogeneous and differ greatly in their primary amino acid sequences. However, signal sequences are typically 16 to 30 amino acids in length and include a hydrophilic, usually positively charged N-terminal region, a central hydrophobic domain, and a C-terminal region that contains the cleavage site for signal peptidase. In some embodiments, a first chimeric polypeptide of a multi-chain chimeric polypeptide, a second chimeric polypeptide of the multi-chain chimeric polypeptide, or both, or a single-chain chimeric polypeptide, includes a signal sequence having an amino acid sequence MKWVTFISLLFLFSSAYS (SEQ ID NO: 117).

For example, a signal sequence having the amino acid sequence MKCLLYLAFLFLGVNC (SEQ ID NO: 125) can include one or more additional amino acids at the N-terminus or C-terminus, while still retaining the ability to direct the a first chimeric polypeptide of a multi-chain chimeric polypeptide, a second chimeric polypeptide of the multi-chain chimeric polypeptide, or both, or a single-chain chimeric polypeptide, to the secretory pathway. In some embodiments, a first chimeric polypeptide of a multi-chain chimeric polypeptide, a second chimeric polypeptide of the multi-chain chimeric polypeptide, or both, or a single-chain chimeric polypeptide, includes a signal sequence that directs the multi-chain chimeric polypeptide into the extracellular space.

In some embodiments, both the first chimeric polypeptide of a multi-chain chimeric polypeptide and a second chimeric polypeptide of the multi-chain chimeric polypeptide include a peptide tag. In some embodiments, a first chimeric polypeptide of a multi-chain chimeric polypeptide, a second chimeric polypeptide of the multi-chain chimeric polypeptide, or both, or a single- chain chimeric polypeptide, includes two or more peptide tags.

In some embodiments, a peptide tag is not removed from the first chimeric polypeptide and/or the second chimeric polypeptide of the multi-chain chimeric polypeptide, or the single-chain chimeric polypeptide, after purification. Peptide tags that can be included in a first chimeric polypeptide of a multi-chain chimeric polypeptide, a second chimeric polypeptide of the multi-chain chimeric polypeptide, or both, or a single-chain chimeric polypeptide, can be used, for example, in immunoprecipitation of the multi-chain chimeric polypeptide or single-chain chimeric polypeptide, respectively, imaging of the multi-chain chimeric polypeptide or single- chain chimeric polypeptide, respectively (e.g., via Western blotting, ELISA, flow cytometry, and/or immunocytochemistry), and/or solubilization of the multi-chain chimeric polypeptide or single-chain chimeric polypeptide, respectively. In some embodiments, a first chimeric polypeptide of a multi-chain chimeric polypeptide, a second chimeric polypeptide of the multi-chain chimeric polypeptide, or both, or a single-chain chimeric polypeptide, includes a peptide tag that is about 10 to 100 amino acids in length.

Peptide tags included in a first chimeric polypeptide of a multi-chain chimeric polypeptide, a second chimeric polypeptide of the multi-chain chimeric polypeptide, or both, or a single-chain chimeric polypeptide, can be of any suitable length. For example, peptide tags can be 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, or more amino acids in length. In embodiments in which a single-chain or multi-chain chimeric polypeptide includes two or more peptide tags, the two or more peptide tags can be of the same or different lengths.

Methods of Treating an Aging-Related Disease or Condition Provided herein are methods of treating an aging-related disease or condition (e.g. any of the exemplary types of aging-related disease or condition described herein or known in the art) in a subject in need thereof that include administering to a subject identified as having an aging-related disease or condition (e.g. any of the exemplary types of aging-related disease or condition described herein or known in the art) a therapeutically effective amount of one or more natural killer (NK) cell activating agent(s) (e.g. any of the natural killer (NK) cell activating agent(s) described herein or known in the art). Provided herein are methods of treating an aging-related disease or condition (e.g. any of the exemplary types of aging-related disease or condition described herein or known in the art) in a subject in need thereof that include administering to a subject identified as having an aging-related disease or condition (e.g. any of the exemplary types of aging-related disease or condition described herein or known in the art) a therapeutically effective amount of activated NK cells (e.g. any of the activated NK cells described herein or known in the art). Some embodiments of these methods further include: obtaining a resting NK cell; and contacting the resting NK cell in vitro in a liquid culture medium including one or more NK cell activating agent(s), where the contacting results in the generation of the activated NK cells that are subsequently administered to the subject. In some examples of these methods, the resting NK cell is an autologous NK cell obtained from the subject. In some examples of these methods, the resting NK cell is a haploidentical NK cell obtained from the subject. In some examples of these methods, the resting NK cell is an allogeneic resting NK cell. In some examples of these methods, the resting NK cell is an artificial NK cell. In some examples of any of these methods, the resting NK cell is a genetically-engineered NK cell carrying a chimeric antigen receptor or recombinant T cell receptor. In some examples of these methods, the liquid culture medium is a serum-free liquid culture medium. In some embodiments of any of the methods described herein, the liquid culture medium is a chemically-defined liquid culture medium. Some examples of these methods further include isolating the activated NK cells (and optionally further administering a therapeutically effective amount of the activated NK cells to a subject, e.g., any of the subjects described herein). In some embodiments of these methods, the contacting step is performed for a period of about 2 hours to about 20 days (or any of the subranges of this range described herein). In some embodiments of any of the methods described herein, the aging-related disease or condition is selected from the group of: a cancer, an autoimmune disease, a metabolic disease, a neurodegenerative disease, a cardiovascular disease, a skin disease, a progeria disease, and a fragility disease. Non-limiting examples of cancer include: solid tumor, hematological tumor, sarcoma, osteosarcoma, glioblastoma, neuroblastoma, melanoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma, osteosarcoma, B-cell neoplasms, multiple myeloma, B-cell lymphoma, B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, Hodgkin’s lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, retinoblastoma, stomach cancer, urothelial carcinoma, lung cancer, renal cell carcinoma, gastric and esophageal cancer, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, ovarian cancer, non-small cell lung carcinoma, squamous cell head and neck carcinoma, endometrial cancer, cervical cancer, liver cancer, and hepatocellular carcinoma. A non-limiting example of an autoimmune disease is type-1 diabetes. Non-limiting examples of metabolic disease include: obesity, a lipodystrophy, and type-2 diabetes mellitus. Non-limiting examples of neurodegenerative disease include: Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and dementia. Non-limiting examples of cardiovascular disease include: coronary artery disease, atherosclerosis, and pulmonary arterial hypertension. Non-limiting examples of skin disease include: wound healing, alopecia, wrinkles, senile lentigo, skin thinning, xeroderma pigmentosum, and dyskeratosis congenita. Non-limiting examples of progeria disease include: progeria and Hutchinson- Gilford Progeria Syndrome. Non-limiting examples of fragility disease include: frailty, responsiveness to vaccination, osteoporosis, and sarcopenia. In some embodiments of any of the aging-related disease or condition described herein, the aging-related disease or condition is selected from the group of: age-related macular degeneration, osteoarthritis, adipose atrophy, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, kidney transplant failure, liver fibrosis, loss of bone mass, sarcopenia, age-associated loss of lung tissue elasticity, osteoporosis, age- associated renal dysfunction, and chemical-induced renal dysfunction. In some embodiments of any of the aging-related disease or condition described herein, the aging-related disease or condition is type-2 diabetes or atherosclerosis.

In some embodiments of these methods, the number of senescent cells in a target tissue (e.g. any of the target tissues described herein) can be determined by performing immunostaining on a biopsy sample. In some embodiments of these methods, the number of senescent cells in a target tissue (e.g. any of the target tissues described herein) can be observed indirectly through an improvement in one or more symptoms of an aging- related disease or condition (e.g. any of the symptoms of an aging-related disease or condition described herein) in a subject. Senescent Cells Senescent cells display important and unique properties which include changes in morphology, chromatin organization, gene expression, and metabolism. There are several biochemical and functional properties associated with cellular senescence, such as (i) increased expression of p16INK4a and p21CIP1, inhibitors of cyclin-dependent kinases, (ii) presence of senescence-associated β-galactosidase, a marker of lysosomal activity, (iii) appearance of senescence-associated heterochromatin foci and downregulation of lamin B1 levels, (iv) resistance to apoptosis caused by an increased expression of anti- apoptotic BCL-family protein, and (v) upregulation of CD26 (DPP4), CD36 (Scavenger receptor), forkhead box 4 (FOXO4), and secretory carrier membrane protein 4 (SCAMP4). Senescent cells also express an inflammatory signature, the so-called senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Through SASP, the senescent cells produce a wide range of inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-8), growth factors (TGF-β), chemokines (CCL-2), and matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-3, MMP-9) that operate in a cell-autonomous manner to reinforce senescence (autocrine effects) and communicate with and modify the microenvironment (paracrine effects). SASP factors can contribute to tumor suppression by triggering senescence surveillance, an immune-mediated clearance of senescent cells. However, chronic inflammation is also a known driver of tumorigenesis, and accumulating evidence indicates that chronic SASP can also boost cancer metastasis and aging-related diseases. The secretion profile of senescent cells is context dependent. For instance, the mitochondrial dysfunction-associated senescence (MiDAS), induced by different mitochondrial dysfunction in human fibroblasts, led to the appearance of a SASP that was deficient in IL-1-dependent inflammatory factors. A decrease in the NAD+/NADH ratio activated AMPK signaling which induced MiDAS through the activation of p53. As a result, p53 inhibited NF-κB signaling which is a crucial inducer of pro-inflammatory SASP. In contrast, the cellular senescence caused by persistent DNA damage in human cells induced an inflammatory SASP, which was dependent on the activation of ataxia- telangiectasia mutated (ATM) kinase but not on that of p53. In particular, the expression and secretion levels of IL-6 and IL-8 were increased. It was also demonstrated that cellular senescence caused by the ectopic expression p16INK4a and p21CIP1 induced the senescent phenotype in human fibroblasts without an inflammatory SASP indicating that the growth arrest itself did not stimulate SASP. One of the most defining characteristics of senescence is stable growth arrest. This is achieved by two important pathways, the p16INK4a/Rb and the p53/p21CIP1, both of which are central in tumor suppression. DNA damage results in: (1) high deposition of γH2Ax (histone coding gene) and 53BP1 (involved in DNA damage response) in chromatin: this leads to activation of a kinase cascade eventually resulting in p53 activation, and (2) activation of p16INK4a and ARF (both encoded by CDKN2A) and P15INK4b (encoded by CDKN2B): p53 induces transcription of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor (p21CIP1) and along with both p16INK4a and p15INK4b block genes for cell cycle progression (CDK4 and CDK6). This eventually leads to hypophosphorylation of Retinoblastoma protein (Rb) and cell cycle arrest at the G1 phase. Selectively killing senescent cells has been shown to significantly improve the health span of mice in the context of normal aging and ameliorates the consequences of age-related disease or cancer therapy (Ovadya, J Clin Invest.128(4):1247-1254, 2018). In nature, the senescent cells are normally removed by the innate immune cells. Induction of senescence not only prevents the potential proliferation and transformation of damaged/altered cells, but also favors tissue repair through the production of SASP factors that function as chemoattractants mainly for Natural Killer (NK) cells (such as IL- 15 and CCL2) and macrophages (such as CFS-1 and CCL2). These innate immune cells mediate the immunosurveillance mechanism for eliminating stressed cells. Senescent cells usually up-regulate the NK-cell activating receptor NKG2D and DNAM1 ligands, which belong to a family of stress-inducible ligands: an important component of the frontline immune defense against infectious diseases and malignancies. Upon receptor activation, NK cells can then specifically induce the death of senescent cells through their cytolytic machinery. A role for NK cells in the immune surveillance of senescent cells has been pointed out in liver fibrosis (Sagiv, Oncogene 32(15): 1971-1977, 2013), hepatocellular carcinoma (Iannello, J Exp Med 210(10): 2057-2069, 2013), multiple myeloma (Soriani, Blood 113(15): 3503-3511, 2009), and glioma cells stressed by dysfunction of the mevalonate pathway (Ciaglia, Int J Cancer 142(1): 176-190, 2018). Endometrial cells undergo acute cellular senescence and do not differentiate into decidual cells. The differentiated decidual cells secrete IL-15 and thereby recruit uterine NK cells to target and eliminate the undifferentiated senescent cells thus helping to re-model and rejuvenate the endometrium (Brighton, Elife 6: e31274, 2017). With a similar mechanism, during liver fibrosis, p53-expressing senescent liver satellite cells skewed the polarization of resident Kupfer macrophages and freshly infiltrated macrophages toward the pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype, which display senolytic activity. F4/80+ macrophages have been shown to play a key role in the clearance of mouse uterine senescent cells to maintain postpartum uterine function. Senescent cells recruit NK cells by mainly upregulating ligands to NKG2D (expressed on NK cells), chemokines, and other SASP factors. In vivo models of liver fibrosis have shown effective clearance of senescent cells by activated NK cells (Krizhanovsky, Cell 134(4): 657-667, 2008). Studies have described various models to study senescence including liver fibrosis (Krizhanovsky, Cell 134(4): 657-667, 2008), osteoarthritis (Xu, J Gerontol A Biol Sci Med Sci 72(6): 780-785, 2017), and Parkinson’s disease (Chinta, Cell Rep 22(4): 930-940, 2018). Animal models for studying senescent cells are described in: Krizhanovsky, Cell 134(4): 657-667, 2008; Baker, Nature 479(7372): 232-236, 2011; Farr, Nat Med 23(9): 1072-1079, 2017; Bourgeois, FEBS Lett 592(12): 2083-2097, 2018; Xu, Nat Med 24(8): 1246-1256, 2018). Senescence is a form of irreversible growth arrest accompanied by phenotypic changes, resistance to apoptosis and activation of damage-sensing signaling pathways. Cellular senescence was first described in cultured human fibroblast cells that lost their ability to proliferate, reaching permanent arrest after about 50 population doublings (referred to as the Hayflick limit) (Hayflick et al., Exp. Cell Res.25:585-621, 1961). He observed a phenomenon of “replicative senescence” in cultures of non-immortalized human fibroblasts which is caused by a progressive telomere shortening upon each cell division and represents a physiological response to prevent genomic instability and therefore accumulation of DNA damage (He et al., Cell 169(6):1000-1011, 2017). Senescence is considered a stress response that can be induced by a wide range of intrinsic and extrinsic insults, including oxidative and genotoxic stress, DNA damage, telomere attrition, or oncogenic activation, mitochondrial dysfunction, or chemotherapeutic agents (McHugh et al., J. Cell Biol.217(1):65-77, 2018). This accelerated senescence response, independent from the telomere shortening, is known as premature senescence. Senescence has been linked to various age-related complications like diabetes, osteoporosis, cardiovascular diseases, dementia, neurodegenerative disorders, renal failure, and sarcopenia. It is also interesting to note that the aging is the single biggest risk factor for cancer (McHugh et al., J. Cell Biol.217(1):65-77, 2018; Childs et al., Nat. Rev. Drug Discov.16(10):718-735, 2017). Senescent cells remain metabolically active and can influence the tissue hemostasis, disease and aging through their secretory phenotype (He et al., Cell 169(6):1000-1011, 2017). Senescence is considered as a physiologic process and is important in promoting wound healing, tissue homeostasis (Brighton et al., Elife 6, 2017), regeneration, embryogenesis, fibrosis regulation, etc. (von Kobbe, Cell Mol. Life Sci. 2018). For instance, transient induction of senescent cells is observed during would healing and contributes to wound resolution. Perhaps one of the most important roles of senescence is its role in tumorigenesis suppression (von Kobbe, Cell Mol. Life Sci.2018). However, the accumulation of senescent cells also drives aging and aging-related diseases. The senescent phenotype also can trigger chronic inflammatory responses and consequently augment chronic inflammatory conditions to promote tumor growth. The connection between senescence and aging was initially based on observations that senescent cells accumulate in aged tissue. In the last decade, our understanding of senescence’s detrimental consequences in aging and age-related pathologies has expanded significantly. The use of transgenic models enabled the detection of senescent cells systematically in many age-related pathologies. The development of genetic and senolytic drugs strategies to selectively eliminate senescent cells has demonstrated that senescent cells can indeed play a causative role in aging and related pathologies. Senescent cells display important and unique properties which include changes in morphology, chromatin organization, gene expression, and metabolism. There are several biochemical and functional properties associated with cellular senescence, such as (i) increased expression of p16INK4a and p21CIP1, inhibitors of cyclin-dependent kinases, (ii) presence of senescence-associated β-galactosidase, a marker of lysosomal activity, (iii) appearance of senescence-associated heterochromatin foci and downregulation of lamin B1 levels, (iv) resistance to apoptosis caused by an increased expression of anti- apoptotic BCL-family protein, (v) upregulation of CD26 (DPP4) (Kim et al., Genes Dev. 31(15):1529-1534, 2017), CD36 (Scavenger receptor) (Chong et al., EMBO Rep.19(6), 2018), forkhead box 4 (FOXO4) (Bourgeois et al., FEBS Lett.592(12): 2083-2097, 2018), and secretory carrier membrane protein 4 (SCAMP4) (Kim et al., Genes Dev. 32(13-14): 909-914, 2018), (vi) accumulation of lipofuscin, and (vii) expression of embryonic chondrocyte-expressed 1 and decoy death receptor 2. Senescent cells also express an inflammatory signature, the so-called SASP. Through SASP, the senescent cells produce a wide range of inflammatory cytokines (IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α), growth factors (TGF-β, PDGF-AA, insulin-like growth factor-binding proteins (IGFBPs)), chemokines (CCL-2, CCL-20, CCL-7, CXCL-4, CXCL1, and CXCL-12), and matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-3, MMP-9) that operate in a cell-autonomous manner to reinforce senescence (autocrine effects) and communicate with and modify the microenvironment (paracrine effects) (Milanovic et al., Nature 553(7686):96-100, 2018). IL-1α is considered one of the master regulators of the SASP. The release of IL-1α by senescent cells transmits senescence to normal cells. IFN can also induce senescence by triggering DNA damage in the target cells. IGFBs can modulate the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) pathway, IGF can act as a potent inducer of senescence. TGF-β, secreted as one of the SASP factors, can induce and maintain a senescent phenotype and age-related pathological conditions in an autocrine/paracrine manner. Integrin β3, regulated by the polycom protein CBX7, was upregulated during senescence, promoted senescence by activating TGF-β signaling in an autocrine/paracrine manner, and reinforced the SASP in human fibroblasts. In addition, the TGF-β-mediated accumulation of senescent cells has been suggested in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. A recent report showed that TGF-β signaling induced the reduction of H4K20me3 abundance, which compromised DNA damage repair and restored and promoted senescence, by upregulating miR-29a/c and downregulating its target in Suv4-20h in fibroblasts. This pathway contributed to cardiac aging in vivo, and the inhibition of TGF-β signaling restored H4K20me3 and improved cardiac function in older mice. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are important elements of SASP, including MMP-1 and -3, which can act as regulatory elements of senescence. They can cleave IL- 8, IL-1, VEGF, and other CXCL/CCL family chemokines. In addition, senescent cells secrete serine proteases like urokinase- or tissue-type plasminogen activators. The SASP is also composed of non-macromolecular elements such as nitric oxide and reactive oxygen species that can affect the phenotype of neighboring cells. The secretion profile of senescent cells is context dependent. For instance, the mitochondrial dysfunction-associated senescence (MiDAS), induced by different mitochondrial dysfunction in human fibroblasts, led to the appearance of a SASP that was deficient in IL-1-dependent inflammatory factors (Wiley et al., Cell Metab.23(2):303- 314, 2016). A decrease in the NAD+/NADH ratio activated AMPK signaling which induced MiDAS through the activation of p53. As a result, p53 inhibited NF-κB signaling which is a crucial inducer of pro-inflammatory SASP (Salminen et al., Cell Signal.24(4):835-845, 2012). In contrast, the cellular senescence caused by persistent DNA damage in human cells induced an inflammatory SASP, which was dependent on the activation of ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM) kinase but not on that of p53 (Rodier et al., Nat. Cell Biol.11(8): 973-979, 2009). In particular, the expression and secretion levels of IL-6 and IL-8 were increased. It was also demonstrated that cellular senescence caused by the ectopic expression p16INK4a and p21CIP1 induced the senescent phenotype in human fibroblasts without an inflammatory SASP indicating that the growth arrest itself did not stimulate SASP (Coppe et al., J. Biol. Chem.286(42): 36396- 36403, 2011). These indicate that the senescent phenotype have a crucial role in the control of the nature of SASP and its physiological and pathological consequences. Thus, multiple components of the SASP have the ability to drive senescence in a paracrine manner in nearby non-senescent cells to increase the overall number of senescent cells. By means of the SASP, senescent cells can also influence the tissue microenvironment via paracrine mechanism to influence neighboring proliferating cells and the recruitment and activation of immune cells in aging tissues and tumors. SASP factors can contribute to tumor suppression by triggering senescence surveillance, an immune-mediated clearance of senescent cells. However, chronic inflammation is also a known driver of tumorigenesis, and accumulating evidence indicates that chronic SASP can also boost cancer and aging-related diseases. Recently, it has also been shown that senescent cells affect neighboring cells by direct intercellular protein transfer (Biran et al., Genes Dev.29(8):791-802, 2015). Proteins transferred from senescent cells to recipient neighboring cells triggered activation of signaling pathways in these cells which led to changes in their cellular behavior. A recent study showed that chemotherapy-induced senescent cancer cells engulfed neighboring senescent or non- senescent cancer cells. The engulfment occurred even in the presence of a cell-death inhibitor p53. The ingested cells are degraded in lysosomes. The senescent cells that ate their neighbors survived longer in vitro than those that did not. This suggested that the metabolic building blocks retrieved from the lysosomal digestion of neighboring cells were being used by senescent cells to promote their survival. The engulfment was mainly through the phagocytosis rather than the entosis mechanism of action. It was proposed that cell cannibalism might affect cancer progression by supporting the SASP response. However, this newly acquired capability of chemotherapy-induced senescent cancer cells could promote or facilitate cancer-cell metastasis directly by removing particular cells from the tumor microenvironment. If normal cells are also found to be removed by senescent cells in aged tissues, this might directly cause tissue degradation. In summary, all components of SASP contribute to the local inflammatory environment and may contribute to the inflammaging phenomenon. Most of the SASP components are regulated by the nuclear factor kappa light- chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB), CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein beta (CEBP/β) and by mTOR. The transcription factor GATA4, acting upstream of NF-κB, is also required for senescence establishment and SASP induction. Another regulator of SASP is the bromodomain and extraterminal domain (BET) family member bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4) that positively regulates the senescence secretome and promotes senescence immune clearance. The SASP is also regulated by signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) in certain tissues. In addition, the mixed-lineage leukemia 1 (MLL1) has also been reported to enable the SASP, mainly by inducing genes required for the DNA replication and for the DDR activation. Other SASP regulators include NOTCH1 and the high mobility group B proteins (HMGB1 and HMGB2). Recent data also demonstrate that the SASP can be controlled by the cGAS/STING pathway. cGAS is a DNA sensor that, through the adaptor protein STING, triggers cellular senescence and the transcription of genes that control the SASP. One of the most defining characteristics of senescence is stable growth arrest. This is achieved by the p53/p21CIP1p21cip1 and p16INK4a/Rb pathways (McHugh et al., J. Cell Biol.217(1):65-77, 2018). DNA damage and/or DNA damage responses (DDR) critically control these two pathways. (1) p53/p21CIP1p21cip1: p53 plays a pivotal role in cellular senescence and its activation can be DDR-dependent or DDR-independent. In the telomere DDR-dependent case, telomere attrition, DNA damage, as well as hyperactivation of oncogenes and inactivation of onco-suppressors (oncogene induced senescence, OIS) resulting from replicative stress activate the DNA damage repair cascade. DDR activates the stress sensors’ ataxia-telangiectasia mutated kinase (ATM) or ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3-related (ATR) kinase. ATM/ATR, in turn, activate the p53/p21CIP1p21cip1 axis by phosphorylating both p53 and its ubiquitin ligase Mdm2, leading to the stabilization of p53 levels. P53 is directly phosphorylated in Ser-15 and indirectly phosphorylated in Ser-20 via Chk1/2. Many recent studies also demonstrated that several OIS pathways can actually activate p53p35 bypassing the DDR. These demonstrated once again that the crucial role of p53 and p53-triggered senescence for the suppression of tumorigenesis after the onset of a first mutation. The stabilization of the p53 protein upregulates p21CIP1. p21CIP1p21cip1. p21cip1, a member of the mammalian cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor family, is required for the p53-induced cell cycle arrest at either G1/S or G2/M checkpoints. p21CIP1p21cip1, encoded by the CDKN1A gene located on chromosome 6 in humans, is a potent cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor (CKI). It binds to and inhibits the activity of cyclin-CDK2, -CDK1, and -CDK4/6 complexes, and thus functions as a regulator of cell cycle progression at G1 and S phase. p21CIP1p21cip1 also mediates the gene expression modulation of many p53 targets such as CDC25C, CDC25B, and surviving, mainly through the E4F4 complex recruitment. p21CIP1p21cip1 also promotes senescence through the inhibition of apoptosis. It binds many apoptosis agents, including many caspases. P21CIP1P21cip1 knockout in senescent cells provokes programmed cell death through the caspase activation cascade. p21CIP1p21cip1 is also capable of inducing senescence independently from p53 activity. It was shown that Chk2 was able to induce p21cip1 expression in p53- defective cell lines, contributing to Chk2-mediated senescence. (2) p16INK4a/Rb: Three tumor suppressors reside in the INK4/ARF locus: p16INK4a and ARF, which are both encoded by the CNDN2A gene, and p15INK4b, which is encoded by CDKN2B gene. p15INK4b and p16INK4a, are CDKIs, like p21CIP1, that affect the cell cycle by binding and inhibiting CDK4 and CDK6. In contrast, ARF inhibits MDM2, thereby allowing cross talk with p53/p21CIP1 pathways. The INK4/ARF locus behaves as a senescence sensor. In young, normal cells, the INK4/ARF locus is epigenetically silenced through deposition of repressive H3K27me3 marks. H3K27 methylation is controlled by polycom repressive complexes, PRC2 and PRC3. Disrupting PRC1 or PRC2 activity by depleting the expression of some of their components depresses p16INK4a and induces senescence. During senescence, the H3K27 histone demethylase JMJD3 plays a role in removing the repressive marks around the INK4/ARF locus, facilitating its induction. INK4/ARF induction can be observed in tissues during natural aging. In particular, p16INK4a is considered an aging biomarker. In summary, p53 induces transcription of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21CIP1 and along with both p16INK4a and p15INK4b block genes for cell cycle progression (CDK4 and CDK6). This eventually leads to hypophosphorylation of Retinoblastoma protein (Rb) and cell cycle arrest at the G1 phase (McHugh et al., J. Cell Biol.217(1):65-77, 2018). While the p53/p21CIP1 pathway seems to play a key role in the initiation of senescence, the pathway involving p16INK4a and the RB family seems to have a central role in the maintenance of senescence. This was suggested by the observation of a decrease in p53 levels after induction of senescence, while p16INK4a levels maintains steadily high. It has also been shown that the downregulation of p53 in senescent cells has different effects depending on p16 activity. p53 succeeds in inducing replication and cell growth in cells with low levels of p16INK4a, while it does not in cells with high p16INK4a activity. These findings suggest that the activation of p16INK4a/Rb pathway is responsible for drawing a line between two different phases of senescence: the early and reversible phase is dominated by p53 activity and the irreversible phase is induced by the p16INK4a/Rb pathway. Recently, the cGAS–cGAMP–STING pathway has emerged as an important link from DNA damage to inflammation, cellular senescence, and cancer (Tuo et al., J. Exp. Med.215(5):1287-1299, 2018). This pathway detects cytoplasmic DNA after DNA damage and activate type I IFNs and other cytokines. Although both DNase2 and TREX1 rapidly remove the cytoplasmic DNA fragments emanating from the nucleus in pre-senescent cells, the expression of these DNases is downregulated in senescent cells, resulting in the cytoplasmic accumulation of nuclear DNA. This causes the aberrant activation of cGAS-STING cytoplasmic DNA sensors, provoking SASP through induction of IFN-β (Takahashi et al., Nature Comm.9:1249, 2018) The transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) is a superfamily of evolutionarily conserved cytokines that mediate a diverse range of signaling functions to provide tissue- specific control of cell differentiation and proliferation. They also promote or protect against cell death, promote extracellular matrix protein expression, cell motility and invasion, and control cell metabolism. The human TGF-β family includes thirty-three genes that encode for homodimeric or heterodimeric secreted cytokines. The family members include activins, the bone morphogenetic proteins, the growth differentiation factors, the Mullerian inhibiting substance, the nodal and the TGF-βs. The TGF-β family proteins are synthesized as precursor molecules consisting of a signal peptide, a prodomain (termed latency-associated peptide (LAP), for TGF-β), and the mature polypeptide. The removal of the short N-terminal signal peptide allows protein folding, glycosylation, and processing in subsequent biosynthetic steps during transport from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus. Dimerization via disulfide linkage is followed by proteolytic cleavage of the polypeptide by furin family proteases resulting in the formation of an N-terminal long dimeric and disulfide-linked LAP, and a C-terminal short dimeric disulfide-linked mature TGF-β. The LAP and mature TGF-β remain associated with each other and form the latent form of the ligand called small latency complex (SLC), structural analysis of this latent form of TGF-β shows that LAP directly covers the critical amino acids of the C-terminal dimer that are later used for interaction with the signaling receptors and thus confers inactivation of the mature TGF-β dimer. Concomitant to the processing of TGF-β polypeptide, crosslinking of the N-terminal LAP through disulfide bonding to other secreted proteins, latent TGF-β binding proteins (LTBPs), takes place to form large latent complex (LLC). LTBPs are extracellular protein, and upon secretion, mediate deposition of LLC to the extracellular matrix (EMC) via their ability to crosslink with other proteins of the ECM such as fibronectin and fibrillins. Thus, LTBPs provide the scaffolding units that tether latent TGF-βs to the ECM. The latent complexes of the three TGF-βs require activation mechanisms to release the mature ligand; however, only the activation of the TGF-β1 complex has been well characterized. The diverse modes of latent extracellular latent TGF-β activation in physiologically relevant settings, which include proteolysis, low pH, reactive oxygen species, bind to other proteins, and mechanical deformation by shear or integrin-mediated cell pulling, suggest cell type-selective of tissue-selective mechanisms that may be depend on the signaling context. In various contexts, one side of the LAP in the SLC is covalently cross-linked via Cys33 residue to the 8-Cys domain of the LTBP, which in turn is linked to the ECM. With this resistance, pulling the other end of the LAP via integrins-notably αvβ1, αvβ6, and αvβ8-enables changes in conformation of latent TGF-β complex that result in the release of the active TGF-β1 from LLC. Various proteases also confer activation of latent TGF-β. Many studies strongly suggest that physiological activation of latent TGF-β1 requires combined activities of integrins and proteases. Instead of association with an LTBP, the latent TGF-β complex has also been found to be disulfide-linked to a membrane associated protein named GARP, also known as LRRC32, or the closely related LRRC33. GARP is primarily expressed in immune cells such as regulatory T cells (Tregs). The function of GARP has been extensively studied on Tregs, where it complexes with αvβ8 integrins to release active TGF-β from the surface of the cells. GARP was shown to be involved in enhancing Tregs-mediated peripheral tolerance. In platelets, it has also been shown that thrombin cleaves GARP resulting in liberation of active TGF-β1 from the GARP-LAP-TGF-β1 complexes. Once activated from their LAPs, all three TGF-β isoforms act through the same heteromeric transmembrane TGF-β receptor complex, formed by dimeric TGF-β type I receptor (RI) alk5 (aka TβR1) and the dimeric TGF-β type II receptor (RII) TGFβRII. TGF-β associates first with a homodimeric TGFβRII. This interaction causes a conformational adaption between the ligand and TGFβRII, in a manner that a new high- affinity binding site is formed for TGFβRI at the interface of ligand and TGFβRII. Upon recruitment of the two units of TGFβRI, the type II receptor kinase phosphorylates serine and threonine residues in the juxta-membrane subdomain of TGFβRI that is characterized by a short glycine-and serine-rich motif (GS), which then induces conformational changes that release the immunophilin FKBP12 from the GS domain. This dissociation relieves the inhibitory interaction of the kinase domain with GS domain and activates the kinase in the type I receptors. Upon ligand-induced receptor activation, the TGFβRI then activates effector SMADs through phosphorylation of their two C-terminal serine residues. Specifically, the type I receptor phosphorylates two different SMAD proteins in the case of TGF-β (and other family members such as activins and nodal), SMAD2 and SMAD3, or three different SMAD proteins in the case of BMPs (also some GDFs and other ligand members), SMAD1, SMAD5, and SMAD8. These “receptor-activated SMADs” (R-SMADs) then dissociate from the receptor and combine with SMAD4 to form complexes that translocate into the nucleus, where they cooperate with high-affinity DNA binding transcription factors and coregulators to activate or repress target genes. SMAD complexes not only direct gene transcription that then leads to secondary gene expression changes but also control mRNA splicing, miRNA expression and processing, and epigenetic changes. With further diversity in SMAD complex formation, the SMAD signaling pathway is highly versatile, context-dependent, and nuanced pathway that controls gene expression. In addition to the canonical SMAD signaling, TGF-β can regulate downstream cellular responses also via other signal transducers in a context-dependent manner. These include the ERK MAP kinase pathway, the JNK and p38 MAP kinase pathway (via TAK1), the PI3-AKT pathway, the JAK-STAT pathway, the Rho-(like) GTPase pathway, and the TGF-β type I receptor intracellular domain signaling pathway. It is well known now that the extensive functional versatility and dependence of the SMADS are on these non-canonical pathways. Since TGF-βs control the differentiation of most, if not all, cell lineages and regulate many aspects of cell and tissue homeostasis, deregulation of TGF-β signaling leads to developmental anomalies and diseases. Accumulated evidence has indicated that the impairment of TGF-β signaling in certain cell types and the regulation of TGF-β ligands contribute to cellular senescence, cell degeneration, tissue fibrosis, inflammation, decreased regeneration capacity, and metabolic malfunction. TGF-β1, secreted as one of the SASP factors, can induce or accelerate, and maintain a senescent phenotype in various cell types including fibroblasts, bronchial epithelial cells, and cancers in an autocrine/paracrine manner. Integrin β3, regulated by the polycom protein CBX7, was upregulated during senescence, promoted senescence by activating TGF-β signaling in an autocrine/paracrine manner, and reinforced the SASP in human fibroblasts. In addition, the TGF-β1-mediated accumulation of senescent cells has been suggested in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. A recent report showed that TGF-β1 signaling induced the reduction of H4K20me3 abundance, which compromised DNA damage repair and restored and promoted senescence, by upregulating miR-29a/c and downregulating its target, Suv4-20h in fibroblasts. This pathway contributed to cardiac aging in vivo, and the inhibition of TGF-β signaling restored H4K20me3 and improved cardiac function in older mice. TGF-β1 functions as a senescence driver and induces vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) senescence through reactive oxygen species (ROS)-stimulated activation of NF- κB signaling pathway and expression of SASP factors, including plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1, SERPINE 1). PAI-1 is not only a biomarker of cellular senescence but also is necessary and sufficient for the replicative senescence downstream of p53 and is a key inducer of the senescence program. There is evidence suggesting the existence of a PAI-1/TGF-β1-positive feed-forward mechanism, providing for a model whereby elevated tissue levels of TGF-β1 during the emergence of the senescent phenotype stimulate expression of PAI-1 that, in turn, reinforces continued TGF-β1 synthesis promoting the maintenance, and perhaps expansion, of the senescent VSMC population (Seo et al., Am. J. Nephrol.30:481-490, 2009). It is well known that senescence has tumor suppressive effects that delay clinical progression following chemotherapy. The last decade has witnessed a big step forward in the understanding of the biology of senescence, especially from it having a tumor- suppressing property to a complex, dynamic, and interactive one that may lead to pro- oncogenic effects on adjacent cancer cells, the stroma and vasculature in the tumor microenvironment (Hoare et al., Ann. Rev. Cancer Biol.2:175-194, 2018). A very elegant study by Milanovic showed in samples from patients with primary B-cell chronic leukemia that senescent cells also upregulated important stem cell related transcripts (Milanovic et al., Nature 553(7686):96-100, 2018). Senescent cells have been shown in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients where AML blasts induced a senescent phenotype in stromal cells and these stromal cells in turn feedback to promote AML blast survival and proliferation via SASP (Abdul-Aziz et al., Blood 133(5):446-456, 2019). Tumors are thought to seize pathophysiological programs of growth regulation that are intended to participate in organ development or tissue repair and ‘hijack’ this process for oncogenic performance instead of creating novel mechanisms for tumor progression (Milanovic et al., Trends Cell Biol.28(12):1049-1061, 2018). Epigenetic mechanisms have been described to be responsible for senescence induction (H3K9 demethylase) and subsequent stemness (H3K9 demethylase inhibition) acquisition (Yu et al., Cancer Cell 33(2):322-336, 2018). TGF-β1 triggers epithelial-mesenchymal transitions (EMT) through induction of the expression of specific transcription factors Snail and Zeb1/2. EMT provides migratory and invasive behaviors to the cells due to cell adhesion modifications. This process involves a loss of epithelial features and the acquisition features leading to motility and invasive properties. EMT represents an important process leading to the progression and metastasis of cancer cells. As an immunosuppressive cytokine, TGF-β1 inhibits the function and development of innate and adaptive immune systems including macrophages, natural killer cells, dendritic cells, and T cells. Recent in vivo studies have demonstrated that exposure to tissue- or tumor-derived TGF-β1 can drive the conversion of circulating NK cells into an innate lymphoid cell I (ILC-I) -like phenotype, characterized by a reduction in cytotoxic capacity and the acquisition of several ILC1-associated surface markers. Interestingly, TGF-β1 also synergizes with IL-15 through MAPK pathways to drive the conversion of human NK cells to an ILC-1 like phenotype. TGF-β also represses human NK cell metabolism through its canonical signaling pathway to suppress NK-cell cytotoxicity. TGF-β1 also stimulates regulatory T cells which suppresses the function of other lymphocytes. These suppressive functions confer to TGF-β1 one of many cancer hallmarks with avoiding immune destruction. Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the most common malignancy of the pancreas with an extremely poor prognosis with a five-year survival rate of 7% and a median survival of less than 11 months. PDAC is highly refractory to all available antitumor pharmacological options. This is the result of the strong desmoplastic reaction associated with PDAC progression, displaying a strong activation of pancreatic stellate cells and formation of dense extracellular matrix that results in insufficient tumor perfusion and an impenetrable barrier to intravenously infused anticancer drugs or chemotherapeutic agents. TGF-β1 contributes to PDAC desmoplasia by enhancing the conversion of fibroblasts or endothelial cells into myofibroblasts also known as cancer- associated fibroblasts (CAFs). Aggressiveness is further amplified by infiltrated immune cells and fibroblasts in the tumor microenvironment, which can produce high levels of TGF-β. TGF-β induces proangiogenic factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor, allowing PDAC progression, invasion, and metastasis. The acyl-CoA synthetase long- chain 3 (ACSL3) was found to be upregulated in PDAC and correlates with increased fibrosis. The decreased PAI-1 secretion from tumor cells by Acsl3 knockout markedly reduces tumor fibrosis and tumor-infiltrating immunosuppressive cells, increases cytotoxic T cell infiltration in mice. This study also found that PAI-1 expression in PDAC positively correlates with markers of fibrosis and immunosuppression and predicts poor patient survival. Since PAI-1 is a key component of SASP and a mediator of cellular senescence and is regulated by TGF-β1, it is conceivable that TGF-β1 plays a role in this ACSL3-PAI-1 signaling axis mediating tumor-stroma cross-talk that promotes pancreatic cancer progression. In fibrotic disease, excessive deposition of extracellular matrix (EMC) proteins compromises tissue integrity and interferes with normal organ function. Fibrosis can arise in any tissue that suffered chronic insults but most frequently observed in the kidneys, livers, lung, and heart. Fibrosis is primarily driven by inflammatory cytokines including the interleukins and members of the TGF-β superfamily. Many of these ligands are expressed by infiltrating inflammatory cells which are attracted to the damaged tissue. Overexpression of TGF-β1 induces fibrosis via activation of both canonical (SMAD-based) and non-canonical (non SMAD-based) signaling pathways, which result in activation of myofibroblasts, excessive production of ECM and inhibition of ECM degradation. Activation of SMAD 2/3 regulates the expression of several profibrotic genes including collagens (COL1A1, COL3A1, COL5A2, COL6A1, COL6A3, and COL7A1), PAI-1, various proteoglycans, integrins, connective tissue growth factor, and matrix metalloproteases. This results in excessive deposits of ECM that compromises the local tissue architecture. Although signaling through the SMAD pathway is believed to play a central role in TGF-β’s fibrogenesis, emerging evidence indicates that reactive oxygen species (ROS) are also involved in modulating TGF-β’s signaling through different pathways including the SMAD pathway. TGF-β1 increases mitochondrial ROS production in different type of cells, which mediate TGF-β-induced cell apoptosis, senescence, EMT, fibrotic gene expression and myofibroblast differentiation. TGF-β has been shown to induce the expression of several NADPH oxidases (Noxs) enzymes (including Nox1, Nox2, and Nox 4 in different types of cells), which are a group of heme-containing transmembrane proteins important in ROS production for both phagocytic and non-phagocytic cell. Nox4-derived ROS mediate TGF-β’s fibrogenic effects, including fibroblast activation/myofibroblast differentiation, epithelial and endothelial cell apoptosis, EMT, and the expression of fibroblastic/profibrotic genes. An increase in Nox4 expression has also been detected in fibrotic diseases including IPF, which correlates with increased expression of myofibroblast marker, α-SMA, further supporting the role of Nox4 in fibrotic diseases. Several pathways have been shown to be involved in the induction of Nox4 by TGF-β. These include the SMAD pathway, PI3K pathway, MAPK pathways, and RHOA/ROCK pathway. Emerging evidence suggests that there is crosstalk between mitochondria and NADPH oxidases. Mitochondria-derived ROS contribute to the increase in NOX expression in response to TGF-β whereas NOX-generated ROS cause mitochondria dysfunction and increase mitochondrial ROS production. The cross-talk between mitochondria and Nox enzyme has also been shown to mediate TGF-β’s profibrogenic effect. A feed-forward interaction between mitochondria and Nox4 in TGF-β-induced ROS production is implicated (Jain et al., Journal of Biological Chemistry.288:770-777, 2013). By 2030, more than 20% of the population will be age 65 or older (see, census.gov/content/dam/Census/library/publications/2014/demo/p23-212.pdf) and approximately 40% will be obese (Finkelstein et al., Am. J. Prev. Med.42(6):563-570, 2012). Metabolic diseases impact the capacity of the cell to conduct vital processes that involve transport or processing of proteins, carbohydrates and lipids. Aging and obesity are key risk factors for chronic conditions that predispose to conditions including diabetes, cardiovascular disease and hepatic steatosis, all of which are leading causes of death and therefore pose a significant public health concern (Must et al., “The Disease Burden Associated with Overweight and Obesity,” In: Feingold KR, Anawalt B., Boyce A., et al., eds., Endotext, South Dartmouth (MA), 2000; Martin et al., Nat. Rev. Cardiol. 14(3):132, 2017). Excessive calorie intake promoted oxidative stress in adipose tissue in mice and resulted in features of Type-2 diabetes concomitantly with the expression of senescence markers such as p53, beta galactosidase in mice (Minamino et al., Nat. Med.15(9):1082- 1087, 2009). Senescence also promoted biological decline in adipose tissue by preventing adipogenic differentiation (Mitterberger et al., Gerontol. A Biol. Sci.69(1):13- 24, 2014). Another recent study has shown that obesity-induced senescence can lead to anxiety and impaired neurogenesis by increasing fat deposits in the brain and clearance of these senescent cells led to improvement in obesity-induced anxiety-like behavior in mice (Ogrodnik et al., Cell Metab.29(5):1061-1077, 2019). Other studies have shown that obesity also impairs functions of immune cells. NK cell effector function was shown to be impaired due to lipid accumulation in these cells and reversal of this process restored function (Michelet et al., Nat. Immunol.19(12):1330-1340, 2018). Additional studies have shown that impairment of NK cells in obesity is independent of age as similar defects were observed in young and older obese individuals (Tobin et al., JCI Insight 2(24):e94939, 2017; Michelet et al., Nat. Immunol.19(12):1330-1340, 2018). In mice, increased calorie intake leads to fat deposition in blood vessels which in turn recruit monocytes that engulf these lipids and turn into foamy macrophages that eventually accumulate in the subendothelial spaces leading to atherosclerotic plaques (Bennett et al., Nat. Rev. Cardiol.14(3):132, 2017; Katsuumi et al., Front. Cardiovasc. Med.5:18, 2018). Mice fed on Western high fat diet (diet consisting of 42% calories from fat) also showed that the burden of senescent cells were directly proportional to the formation of plaques (lipid laden macrophages). Successful elimination of these senescent cells in transgenic mice led to significant reduction in plaque formation (Childs et al., Science 354(6311):472-477, 2016). Age, obesity and other factors linked to alterations in glucose levels, growth hormone (IGF) can lead to diabetes (Palmer et al., Diabetes 64(7):2289-2298, 2015). Upregulation of senescent markers like p53 in mice fed with high fat diet correlated with insulin resistance whereas inhibition of p53 activity in adipose tissue led to decrease in senescence markers and correlated with improved insulin resistance in mice models (Minamino et al., Nat. Med.15(9):1082-1087, 2009). Concomitantly, pancreatic β-cell senescence has been shown to be a contributor to type 2 diabetes in obese mice (Sone et al., Diabetologia 48(1):58-67, 2005). The hypothalamic production of TGF-β is excessive under high-fat diet conditions. This leads to hypothalamic inflammation, hyperglycemia, and glucose intolerance. The data suggest that the excessive amount of TGF-β induces a hypothalamic RNA stress response, leading to the accelerated mRNA decay of IκBα. IκBα is an inhibitor of NF-κB (Yan et al., Nature Medicine 20:1001-1008, 2014). Thus, TGF-β signaling exacerbates obesity and diabetes through actions on the peripheral and central nervous systems. Aging is a major risk factor for developing many neurodegenerative diseases. Accumulation of senescent cells in the nervous system has been shown with aging and neurodegenerative disease and may predispose a person to the appearance of a neurodegenerative condition or may aggravate its course (Kritsilis et al., Int. J. Mol. Sci. 19(10:2937, 2018). Cellular senescence can impede cellular function by: 1. Promotion of chronic inflammation (Huell et al., Acta Neuropathol.89(6):544-551, 1995; Nelson et al., Aging Cell 11(2):345-349, 2012), 2. Exhaustion of neuron regeneration (Cipriani et al., Cereb. Cortex 28(7):2458-2478, 2018), 3. Loss of function (De Stefano et al., J. Neurol. Neurosurg. Psychiatry 87(1):93-99, 2016) and 4. Blood brain barrier dysfunction (Yamazaki et al., Stroke 47(4):1068-1077, 2016). Studies have shown the accumulation of Aβ peptide containing amyloid plaques and misfolded tau protein in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the most prevalent neurodegenerative disease in humans (Musi et al., Aging Cell 17(6):e12840, 2018). These changes eventually affect neurons leading to cognitive impairment and neurodegeneration. Astrocytes cultured from AD patients showed high expression of well known senescent markers CDKi p16INK4A and MMP-1 and IL-6 (Bhat et al., PLoS One 7(9):e45069, 2012; Myung et al., Age 30(4):209-215, 2008). Clinical trials targeting amyloid proteins have been disappointing (Mehta et al., Expert Opin. Invest. Drugs 26(6):735-739, 2017). Recent studies have shown the presence of senescent cells to be responsible for neuronal disorders in animal models (Crews et al., Hum. Mol. Genet.19(R1):R12-R20, 2010; Chinta et al., Cell Rep. 22(4):930-940, 2018). Studies in animal models reflecting human AD has shown encouraging results. Clearance of senescent cells in transgenic mice prevented neurofibrillary tangles and abnormal accumulations of a tau protein inside neurons thus preserving cognitive function (Bussian et al., Nature 562(7728):578-582, 2018). Patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD), the second most common neurodegenerative disease demonstrate loss of motor control due to loss of dopamine-producing neurons in the substantia nigra. Astrocytes, the most abundant cell type within the CNS is important for providing structural, metabolic support to neurons and also plays a role in control of the blood brain barrier and blood flow. A recent ground-breaking study showed a senescent phenotype in astrocytes in postmortem brain samples from patients with PD (Chinta et al., Cell Rep.22(4):930-940, 2018). This study also developed an animal model of PD induced by an environmental neurotoxin (Parquat, which induces senescence through oxidative stress) which showed neuropathology linked to PD. The authors showed that elimination of senescent cells in the transgenic mice lead to abrogation of paraquat- induced neuropathology. Aging of the human skin can be either: 1. intrinsic (chronological), which is a consequence of physiologic and genetic changes over time or 2. extrinsic; caused by exposure to external factors such as ultraviolet (UV) radiation, environmental toxins and other agents that can induce DNA damage (Cavinato et al., Exp. Gerontol.94:78-82, 2017). Among the changes that affect cutaneous tissue with age, the loss of elastic properties caused by changes in elastin production, increased degradation and/or processing produces a substantial impact on tissue esthetics and health (Wang et al., Front. Genet.9:247, 2018). Acute UV exposure leads to sunburns, aberrant pigmentation, visible appearance of blood vessels under the skin (telangiectasia) and immune suppression while long term exposure may lead to premature skin aging and even risk of developing malignancies (Rittie et al., Cold Spring Harb. Perspective 5(1):a015370, 2015). There is a direct correlation between the evolution of medicine and population growth, which is characterized by an increase in the number of middle‐aged and elderly individuals and therefore a significant demand for anti‐aging treatments (Weihermann et al., Int. J. Cosmet. Sci.39(3):241-247, 2017). UVB from sunlight is mutagenic and directly induces DNA damage during DNA replication. The hallmark of photodamaged skin is accumulation of amorphous elastic fibers along with disorganized dermal collagen. Studies have shown that this could result from either impaired elastic and fibrillin production or elevated breakdown of Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) secreted by senescent cells that have undergone DNA damage (Pittayapruek et al., Int. J. Mol. Sci. 17(6):868, 2016). Reactive oxygen species (ROS) production following UVB radiation leads to activation of factors central to senescence such as nuclear factor-kappa (NF-κB) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) (Pittayapruek et al., Int. J. Mol. Sci. 17(6):868, 2016). UVB irradiation can alter TGF-β signaling pathway in human dermal fibroblasts mainly by decreasing the synthesis of transforming growth factor-β receptor II (TβRII) (Purohit et al., J. Dermatol.83(1):80-83, 2016). Several studies have shown the presence of senescent cells in aged as well as skin exposed to UV both in vitro and in vivo. Keratinocytes and skin fibroblasts have been extensively studied as models of photoaging which express markers of senescence such as p16INK4asd, beta galactosidase, Lamin B1 and Senescence associated secretory phenotype (SASP) (Waaijer et al., Aging 10(2):278-289, 2018; Dimri et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A.92(20):9363-9367, 1995; Wang et al., Sci. Rep.7(1):15678, 2017; Ghosh et al., J. Invest. Dermatol.136(11):2133- 2139, 2016). As senescent cells are known to express NK ligands, induction of NK cells along with activation of other immune cells (T regulatory cells) would represent an attractive strategy to clear senescent cells and maintain healthy skin (Carr et al., Clin. Immunol.105(2):126-140, 2002; Ali et al., Immunology 152(3):372-381, 2017). The confirmation that selectively killing senescent cells significantly improves the health span of mice in the context of normal aging and ameliorates the consequences of age-related disease or cancer therapy has ignited interest in the identification of compounds that can clear senescent cells. In nature, the senescent cells are normally removed by the innate immune cells. Induction of senescence not only prevents the potential proliferation and transformation of damaged/altered cells, but also favors tissue repair through the production of SASP factors (Munoz-Espin et al., Nat. Rev. Mol. Cell Biol.15(7):482-496, 2014) that function as chemoattractants mainly for natural killer (NK) cells (such as IL-15 and CCL2) and macrophages (such as CFS-1 and CCL2). These innate immune cells mediate the immunosurveillance mechanism for eliminating stressed cells. Senescent cells usually up-regulate the NK-cell activating receptor NKG2D and DNAM1 ligands, which belong to a family of stress-inducible ligands, an important component of the frontline immune defense against infectious diseases and malignancies. Upon receptor activation, NK cells can then specifically induce the death of senescent cells through their cytolytic machinery. A role for NK cells in the immune surveillance of senescent cells has been pointed out in liver fibrosis (Sagiv et al., Oncogene 32(15):1971-1977, 2013), hepatocellular carcinoma (Iannello et al., J. Exp. Med.210(10):2057-2069, 2013), multiple myeloma (Soriani et al., Blood 113(15):3503- 3511, 2009), and glioma cells stressed by dysfunction of the mevalonate pathway (Ciaglia et al., Int. J. Cancer 142(1):176-190, 2018). In cancer, combination chemotherapy was shown to upregulate markers of senescence and NK ligands on KRAS- mutant lung tumors suggesting that NK cells are required for targeting these cells (Ruscetti et al., Science 362(6421):1416-1422, 2018). Endometrial cells undergo acute cellular senescence and do not differentiate into decidual cells. The differentiated decidual cells secrete IL-15 and thereby recruit uterine NK cells to target and eliminate the undifferentiated senescent cells thus helping to re-model and rejuvenate the endometrium (Brighton et al., Elife 6, 2017). With a similar mechanism, during liver fibrosis, p53-expressing senescent liver satellite cells skewed the polarization of resident Kupfer macrophages and freshly infiltrated macrophages toward the pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype, which display senolytic activity. F4/80+ macrophages have been shown to play a key role in the clearance of mouse uterine senescent cells to maintain postpartum uterine function (Lujambio et al., Cell 153(2):449-460, 2013). The strategies of senescent cell clearance mainly fall into three categories: senolytics, immunotherapy and SASP inhibition (He et al., Cell 169(6):1000-1011, 2017). There is a growing body evidence suggesting the efficacy of senolytics to clear senescent cells. Senolytics in general, act by targeting the senescent cell anti-apoptotic pathways (SCAP) like the BCL-2 protein family, the p53/ p21CIP1p21 axis, PI3K/AKT, receptor tyrosine kinases, and the HSP90 proteins. In mice, senolytics alleviate a range of conditions that have been associated with effects of senescent cells. So far, these include effects on cardiac, vascular, metabolic, neurological, radiation-induced, chemotherapy- induced, renal, and pulmonary functions as well as mobility and frailty in several animal models (Kirkland et al., EBioMedicine 21:21-28, 2017). A number of additional senolytic drugs are currently being developed. Recently, a FOXO4-related peptide that inhibits the PI3K/AKT/p53/p21 pathway was described and showed encouraging results both in vitro human fibroblast and mouse models. Other senolytics include ABT-737 and ABT-263 which act on BCL-2 protein (Tse et al., Cancer Res.68(9):3421-3428, 2008) and A1331852 and A1155463 which target the BCL-XL pathway (Zhu et al., Aging (Albany NY) 9(3):955-963, 2017), dasatinib and quercitin which target tyrosine kinase have demonstrated senescent cell clearance (Farr et al., Nat. Med.23(9):1072-1079, 2017). BCL-2 family inhibitors may potentially cause side effects like neutropenia and thrombocytopenia. As many of the senolytics are only in their pre-clinical phase, studies are warranted on possible side-effects before they move into clinical phase trials. Blocking SASP factors is an alternative strategy to prevent the detrimental role of senescent cells. These factors include inflammatory chemokines and cytokines, growth factors, and matrix-remodeling proteases. The central pathways involved in these effects are the NF-κB and the C/EBPβ pathways. mTOR inhibitors, such as rapamycin and its analogs, can abolish SASP by reducing the expression of membrane-bound IL-1α. Two other notable drugs used to inhibit the NF-κB and the C/EBPβ pathways in vivo mouse models are Metformin and Ruxolitinib respectively (Moiseeva et al., Aging Cell 12(3):489-498, 2013; Xu et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A.112(46):E6301-6310, 2015). Other drugs like siltuximab or tocilizumab block cytokines like IL-6, another SASP factors. Again, as with the use of some senolytics, treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can give rise to potential side effects (Karkera et al., Prostate 71(13):1455-1465, 2011). A recent Phase I clinical trial using senolytics (dasatinib plus quercetin) in patients with pulmonary fibrosis did not lead to any conclusive results (Justice et al., EBioMedicine 40:554-563, 2019). The third strategy, which is potentially superior than those described above is immune-mediated interventions. As mentioned above, cells recruited to clear senescent cells include NK cells, macrophages and neutrophils. Senescent cells recruit NK cells by mainly upregulating ligands to NKG2D (expressed on NK cells), chemokines and other SASP factors. In vivo models of liver fibrosis have shown effective clearance of senescent cells by activated NK cells (Krizhanovsky et al., Cell 134(4):657-667, 2008). Senescent cells resist NK cell mediated clearance by upregulating decoy receptor DCR2 which inhibits apoptosis and restricting their clearance mainly by granzyme and perforin mediated pathways (Sagiv et al., Oncogene 32(15):1971-1977, 2013). Recent data has shown that lipid accumulation in NK cells seen in obese individuals leads to reduction in both their frequencies and effector cytotoxic function and this was independent of age (Michelet et al., Nat. Immunol.19(12):1330-1340, 2018; Tobin et al., JCI Insight 2(24):e94939, 2017). NK cell-mediated antibody-dependent cell cytotoxicity (ADCC) has been demonstrated in vitro human senescent cells against dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4/CD26), a recently described senescence marker (Kim et al., Genes Dev. 31(15):1529-1534, 2017). Other strategies include using CAR-T cells to redirect immune responses against senescent cells (Grupp et al., N. Engl. J. Med.368(16):1509-1518, 2013; Yousefzadeh et al., Nature, published online on May 12, 2021). Studies have described various models to study senescence including liver fibrosis (Krizhanovsky et al., Cell 134(4):657-667, 2008), osteoarthritis (Xu et al., J. Gerontol. A Biol. Sci. Med. Sci.72(6):780-785, 2017), Parkinson’s (Chinta et al., Cell Rep. 22(4):930-940, 2018), obesity induced anxiety (Ogrodnik et al., Cell Metab.29(5):1061- 1077, 2019), atherosclerosis (Childs et al., Science 354(6311):472-477, 2016), and diabetes (Sone et al., Diabetologia 48(1):58-67, 2005). One recent study showed that transplanting in-vitro senescence-induced cells into young mice led to physical dysfunction (Xu et al., Nat. Med.24(8):1246-1256, 2018). The question that lingers is which type of therapy is effective in clearing senescent cells in different tissues. Majority of the available data are based on in vitro experiments and few mouse studies (Krizhanovsky et al., Cell 134(4):657-667, 2008; Xu et al., Nat. Med.24(8):1246-1256, 2018; Baker et al., Nature 479(7372):232-236, 2011; Farr et al., Nat. Med.23(9):1072- 1079, 2017; Xu et al., J. Gerontol. A Biol. Sci. Med. Sci.72(6):780-785, 2017; Bourgeois et al., FEBS Lett.592(12):2083-2097, 2018). NK cells provide an attractive strategy to counter senescent cell accumulation. However, very few studies in senescence models have explored this strategy (Krizhanovsky et al., Cell 134(4):657-667, 2008). Various clinical trials have shown the success of utilizing adoptive transfer of NK cells to treat various forms of cancer (Sakamoto et al., J. Transl. Med.13:277, 2015; Miller et al., Blood 105(8):3051-3057, 2005; Cifaldi et al., Trends Mol. Med.23(12):1156-1175, 2017; Li et al., Cytotherapy 20(1):134-148, 2018). Of importance is the recent clinical trial of utilizing autologous ex-vivo expanded NK cells in patients with colon cancer (Li et al., Cytotherapy 20(1):134-148, 2018). The authors showed that NK cell therapy in combination with chemotherapy prevented recurrence and prolonged survival with acceptable adverse effects (Li et al., Cytotherapy 20(1):134-148, 2018). Transfer of cytokine activated-NK cells by cytokines such as IL-15, IL-12, IL-18 and IL-21 can be used as a potential immunotherapeutic strategy to clear senescent cells with minimal side- effects (Romee et al., Blood 120(24): 4751-4760, 2012; Song et al., Eur. J. Immunol. 48(4):670-682, 2018). Moreover, the safety of using NK cells has been shown in acute myeloid leukemia (Romee et al., Blood 120(24): 4751-4760, 2012; Fehniger et al., Biol. Blood Marrow Transplant.2018). Other approaches would be to block circulating SASP factors like TGF-β, IL-8 and IL-6 (Ganesh et al., Immunity 48(4):626-628, 2018; Georgilis et al., Cancer Cell 34(1):85-102, 2018). The models of senescence mentioned above would be ideal to test these approaches. Therefore, more consideration should be given to such strategies that avoid unwanted side-effects from using foreign compounds and drugs as a solution to age-related pathologies. Cellular senescence is a series of progressive and phenotypically diverse cellular states that are acquired after initial growth arrest (Van Deursen, Nature 509(7501): 439- 446, 2014). Thus, senescent cells are heterogeneous populations of cells with few shared core properties (Dou et al., Nature 550(7676):402-406, 2017). Identifying common senolytic drug targets, therefore, is difficult. This further precludes the achievement of a goal of developing senolytics that selectively, safety, and effectively eliminate senescent cells upon systemic administration. As described above, immune cells are the effector cells to remove senescent cells naturally after the fulfillment of senescent-cell physiological roles (Brighton et al., Elife 6, 2017). The weakening of the immune system during the aging process allows the accumulation of senescent cells (Karin et al., Nat Commun 10(1):5495, 2019)(Chambers et al., Allergy Clin Immunol 145(5): 1323-1331, 2020). In addition, TGF-β, a component of the SASP of senescent cells, plays a caustic role in cellular senescence and aging-related pathologies when it is produced in an excessive amount in tissues (Tominaga et al., Int. J. Mol. Sci.20(20), 2019). Provided herein are methods of using complexes of common gamma-chain cytokines and their cognate receptors to promote and to activate immune cells, and TGF-βRII to reduce the amount of the active form of TGF-β in the aging tissues and tumor microenvironment through subcutaneous administration to regain their capabilities of reducing senescent cells and to lower the chronic inflammation in vivo effectively, selectively, and safely. In some embodiments of any of the methods described herein, the methods result in rejuvenation of aged immune cells in the subject (e.g., one or more of: increased metabolic activity (e.g., increased oxidative phosphorylation, increased glycolysis, and increased oxygen consumption) of aged immune cells in the subject; decreased level(s) of one or more of p16, p21, and a SASP factor in aged immune cells in the subject; and increased cytolytic activity of the aged immune cells in the subject, e.g., as compared to the level(s) in the subject prior to treatment). As used herein, the term “aged immune cell” means an immune cell that has one or more of: reduced metabolic activity (e.g., reduced oxidative phosphorylation, reduced glycolysis, and reduced oxygen consumption); increased level(s) of one or more of p16, p21, and a SASP factor; and decreased cytolytic activity, e.g., as compared to a control immune cell obtained from a healthy subject (non-immune compromised subject) whose age is less than half the average life span of the subject’s population. Non-limiting examples of aged immune cells include aged NK cells, aged NKT cells, aged T cells, aged B cells, aged monocytes, aged macrophages, aged neutrophils, aged basophils, aged eosinophils, Kupffer cells, and aged microgial cells. In some embodiments of any of the methods described herein, the methods result in an increase in the naïve T cell to memory T cell ratio in the subject. In some embodiments of any of the methods described herein, the methods result in a decrease in the ratio of CD4+ T cells to CD8+ T cells in the subject. In some embodiments, the rejuvenation of the aged immune cells results in a reduction of number of diseased cells or infectious agents in the subject. In some embodiments, the aged immune cells include one or more of aged NK cells, aged NKT cells, aged T cells, aged B cells, aged monocytes, aged macrophages, aged neutrophils, aged basophils, aged eosinophils, aged Kupffer cells, and aged microgial cells. In some embodiments, the diseased cells include cancer cells, virally-infected cells, and intracellularly-bacterially-infected cells. In some embodiments, the infectious agents include virus, bacterium, fungus, and parasite. Provided herein are also methods of using complexes of common gamma-chain cytokines and their cognate receptors and/or agents that result in a decrease in the activation of a TGF-β receptor to rejuvenate the immune system. Methods of Improving the Texture and/or Appearance of Skin and/or Hair Also provided herein are methods of improving the texture and/or appearance of skin and/or hair in a subject in need thereof over a period of time (e.g. any of the periods of time described herein) that include administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of one or more natural killer (NK) cell activating agent(s) (e.g. any of the NK cell activating agent(s) described herein or known in the art).

Some embodiments of these methods further include: obtaining a resting NK cell; and contacting the resting NK cell in vitro in a liquid culture medium including one or more NK cell activating agent(s), where the contacting results in the generation of the activated NK cells that are subsequently administered to the subject. In some examples of these methods, the resting NK cell is an autologous NK cell obtained from the subject. In some examples of these methods, the resting NK cell is a haploidentical NK cell obtained from the subject. In some examples of these methods, the resting NK cell is an allogeneic resting NK cell.

Additional examples of an antigen-binding fragment of an antibody is an antigen-binding fragment of an IgG (e.g., an antigen-binding fragment of IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, or IgG4) (e.g., an antigen- binding fragment of a human or humanized IgG, e.g., human or humanized IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, or IgG4); an antigen-binding fragment of an IgA (e.g., an antigen-binding fragment of IgA1 or IgA2) (e.g., an antigen-binding fragment of a human or humanized IgA, e.g., a human or humanized IgA1 or IgA2); an antigen-binding fragment of an IgD (e.g., an antigen-binding fragment of a human or humanized IgD); an antigen-binding fragment of an IgE (e.g., an antigen-binding fragment of a human or humanized IgE); or an antigen- binding fragment of an IgM (e.g., an antigen-binding fragment of a human or humanized IgM). Soluble IL-15 and IL-15 Agonists Non-limiting examples of common gamma-chain family cytokine receptor activating agents are soluble IL-15 or IL-15 agonists. IL-15 functions through the trimeric IL-15 receptor complex, which consists of a high affinity unique binding IL- 15Rα chain that confers receptor specificity for IL-15 and the common IL-15Rβ and γ- chains (also known as IL-2Rβ/γ) shared with IL-2. In some embodiments, the soluble IL-15 is at least 90% (e.g., at least 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99%) identical to SEQ ID NO: 82. In some embodiments, the soluble IL-15 is a recombinant soluble human IL-15. In some embodiments, the soluble IL-15 is a mutant IL-15 having one or more amino acid substitutions as compared to a wild type IL-15 (e.g., SEQ ID NO: 82). The mutant IL-15 can, for example, include a D8N or a D8A amino acid substitution as compared to a wild type IL-15. In some embodiments, soluble IL-15 can be conjugated to a polymer (See, e.g. Miyazaki et al., Proceed. Annual Meeting AACR, 2019, Abstract 3265). Some examples of the IL-15 agonists described herein can include a complex of IL-15 and all or a portion of a soluble IL-15 receptor (IL-15R). The complex of IL-15 and all or a portion of a soluble IL-15R may have prolonged half-life and/or higher potency as compared to free IL-15. In some embodiments, the IL-15 agonists described herein further include an Fc domain (e.g., any of the exemplary Fc domains described herein). In some embodiments, the portion of a soluble IL-15R is IL-15Rα. For example, IL-15 can be associated with an IL-15Rα-Fc fusion to form an IL-15:IL-15Rα-Fc complex (See, e.g., those described in Stoklasek et al., J. Immunology 177:6072–80, 2006; Dubios et al., J. Immunol.180:2099–106, 2008; Epardaud et al., Cancer Res. 68:2972–83, 2008; Rubinstein et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A.103:9166-71, 2006). In some embodiments, the soluble IL-15 and IL-15Rα forms a heterodimer (see, e.g. Colon et al., Cancer Res.79(13 Supplement):CT082, July 1, 2019). In some embodiments, the portion of a soluble IL-15R is a portion of IL-15Rα (e.g., a sushi domain of IL-15Rα). The IL-15 in the complex can be a wild type IL-15 or a mutant IL-15. For example, mutant IL-15 containing the N72D mutation can be used to complex with all or a portion of a soluble IL-15R (e.g., a sushi domain of IL-15Rα). In some embodiments, the complex is ALT-803, which includes a human IL-15 mutant IL-15N72D complexed with IL-15Rα sushi-Fc fusion (see, e.g. Zhu et al., J. Immunol.183(6):3598-607, 2009). Non-limiting examples of IL-15 agonists include ALT-803/N-803 (Altor Bioscience/ImmunityBio), BNZ-1 (Bioniz Therapeutics), NIZ985 (Novartis), RTX-212 (Rubius Therapeutics), AM0015 (rhIL-15) (Lilly), IGM-7354 (IGM), XmAb24306 (Roche/Xencor), KD033 (srKD033) (Kadmon), OXS-C3550 (GT Biopharma), and NKTR-255 (Nektar Therapeutics). Soluble IL-2 and IL-2 Agonists Non-limiting examples of common gamma-chain family cytokine receptor activating agents are soluble IL-2 or IL-2 agonists. IL-2 is a cytokine centrally involved in immune tolerance and immune activation by its effects on CD4+ T regulatory cells and cytotoxic effector lymphocytes such as CD8+ T cells and NK cells. IL-2 acts on cells expressing either dimeric IL-2 receptors (IL-2R) consisting of IL-2Rβ and γ chains, or trimeric αβγ receptor (IL-2Rαβγ), with the trimeric receptor displaying 10-100 fold higher affinity for IL-2 compared to dimeric IL-2Rs. CD4+ T regulatory cells are characterized by strong constitutive expression of IL-2Rα, which enables the cells to express IL-2Rαβγ and thereby use low levels of IL-2. Dimeric IL-2Rs are most prominent on antigen-experienced (memory) CD8+ T cells and NK cells. High levels of IL-2 therefore strongly stimulate CD8+ T cells and NK cells, in addition to activating Treg cells. In some embodiments, the soluble IL-2 is at least 90% (e.g., at least 95% identical, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, at least 99%, or 100%) identical to SEQ ID NO: 78. In some embodiments, the soluble IL-2 is a recombinant human IL-2. The soluble IL-2 can be an IL-2 variant. For example, an IL-2 variant can bind more effectively (e.g., at least 50, 100, 150 or 200 times more effectively) to IL-2Rβ than to IL-2Rα. An exemplary IL-2 variant is MDNA109 (see, e.g., Rafei et al., J. Clin. Oncol. 37(15 Suppl.), 2019). In some embodiments, the IL-2 variant has abolished CD25 binding. For example, residues F42, Y45, and L72 which are involved in CD25 binding can be mutated (see, e.g., Klein et al., Oncoimmunology 6(3):e1277306, 2017). In some embodiments, the IL-2 agonist is a PEGylated IL-2 that has limited binding to the IL2Rα subunit and preferentially binds the dimeric IL2Rβγ (see, e.g., Bentebibel et al., Cancer Discov.9(6):711-721, 2019). Some examples of IL-2 agonists described herein are fusion proteins that include an IL-2. In some embodiments, the fusion proteins include IL-2 or a variant thereof linked to all or a portion of a soluble IL-2R. In some embodiments, the portion of a soluble IL-2R is IL-2Rα (See, e.g., Vaishampayan et al., J. Clin. Oncol.35 (15 Suppl.), 2017). The fusion proteins can, for example, selectively activate the dimeric IL-2Rβγ. Further examples of IL-2 fusion proteins include those fused to a toxin (e.g., a diphtheria toxin). In some embodiments, the fusion proteins include an IL-2 or a variant thereof (e.g., any of the IL-2 variant described herein) linked to an antibody (e.g., a monoclonal antibody or an scFv). Non-limiting examples of antibodies that can be linked to an IL-2 or a variant thereof include a human monoclonal antibody against fibroblast activation protein-alpha (FAP) (see, e.g., Soerensen et al., J. Clin. Oncol.36, No.15 Suppl.), an anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody (see, e.g., Lansigan et al., Blood 128(22):620, 2016), an scFv against the A1 domain of tenascin-C (see, e.g. Catania et al., Cell Adh. Migr.9(1- 2):14-21, 2015); and an anti-CEA antibody (See, e.g., Klein et al., Oncoimmunol. 6(3):e1277306, 2017). Additional examples of IL-2 agonists include Proleukin (Clinigen), pulmoleukin (Immunservice), NKTR-214 (Nektar Therapeutics), DI-Leu16-IL2 (Alopexx/Provenance Biopharmaceuticals), RG7461 (Roche), Teleukin (Philogen), ALT-801803 (Altor Bioscience), ALT-801 (Altor Bioscience), ALKS 4230 (Alkermes), cergutuzumab amunaleukin (RG7813) (Roche), Camidanlumab tesirine (ADC Therapeutics/Genbmab), NHS-IL2-LT/EMD 521873 (Merck KGaA), NIZ985 (Novartis), MDNA109 (Medicenna Therapeutics), Angeloxin (Angelica Therapeutics), PB101 (Pivotal Biosciences), Anti- IL-2 Program (Xoma), NKTR-255 (Nektar Therapeutics), NKTR-358/LY3471851 (Nektar Therapeutics/Lilly), CYP 0150 (Cytunepharma), NL-201 (Neoleukin), THOR- 809 (Sanofi/Synthorx), BNT151/153 (BioNTech), TransCon IL-2 β/γ (Ascendis Pharma), ILT-101 (Servier/ILT-101) and AM0015 (Lilly). Additional examples of IL-2 agonists are known in the art. Complexes of Common Gamma-Chain Family Cytokine and an Antibody or Antibody Fragment Non-limiting examples of common gamma-chain family cytokine receptor activating agents are complexes including a common gamma-chain family cytokine (e.g., any of the common gamma-chain family cytokines described herein) and an antibody or antigen-binding antibody fragment that binds specifically to the common gamma-chain family cytokine. In some embodiments, the complex of a common gamma-chain family cytokine and antibody or antigen-binding antibody fragment binding specifically to the common gamma-chain family cytokine can enhance the activity of the common gamma-chain family cytokines, and lead to expansion of CD8+ T cells and/or NK cells. In some embodiments, the complex has longer half-life in circulation than the free common gamma-chain family cytokine. In some embodiments, the complex can comprise soluble IL-2 (e.g., recombinant soluble human IL-2) or a functional fragment thereof, and an anti-IL-2 antibody or an antigen-binding antibody fragment thereof. Non-limiting examples of complexes of soluble IL-2 and anti-IL-2 antibodies include soluble IL-2 complexed with anti-IL-2 antibodies S4B6, JES6-5, or MAB602, respectively (see, e.g., Tomala et al., J. Immunol. 183:4904-4912, 2009; and Boyman et al., Science 311, 2006). In some embodiments, the complex can comprise soluble IL-4 (e.g., recombinant soluble human IL-4) and an anti-IL-4 antibody or an antigen-binding antibody fragment thereof. Non-limiting examples of anti-IL-4 antibodies include those described in e.g., Sato et al., J. Immunol.150:2717-2723, 1993, and Finkelman et al., J. Immunol. 151:1235-1244, 1993. In some embodiments, the complex can comprise soluble IL-7 (e.g., recombinant soluble human IL-7) and an anti-IL-7 antibody or an antigen-binding antibody fragment thereof. Non-limiting examples of anti-IL-7 antibodies include those described in e.g., Finkelman et al., J. Immunol.151:1235-1244, 1993, and Boyman et al., J. Immunol. 180:7265-75, 2008. In some examples of the complexes, the common gamma-chain family cytokine (or a functional fragment thereof) and the antibody (or an antigen-binding antibody fragment thereof) can be administered separately, and the complex between the common gamma-chain family cytokine and the antibody or the antigen-binding antibody fragment can be formed in vivo. Additional example of common gamma-chain family cytokines and corresponding antibodies or antigen-binding antibody fragments that binds to the same are known in the art.

In some embodiments, the SASP factor includes, but is not limited to, inflammatory cytokines (e.g., IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α), growth factors (e.g., TGF-β, PDGF-AA, and insulin-like growth factor-binding proteins (IGFBPs)), chemokines (e.g., CCL-2, CCL-20, CCL-7, CXCL-4, CXCL1, and CXCL-12), and matrix metalloproteinases (e.g., MMP-3 and MMP-9) that operate in a cell-autonomous manner to reinforce senescence (autocrine effects) and communicate with and modify the microenvironment (paracrine effects). In some embodiments, the method decreases expression levels or activity of one or more of the SASP factor(s). In some embodiments, the expression level or activity of a SASP factor is determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

Additional examples of antigen-binding domains that can be used in any of the single- chain or multi-chain chimeric polypeptide are known in the art. In some embodiments, two or more of polypeptides present in the single-chain or multi-chain chimeric polypeptide can assemble (e.g., non-covalently assemble) to form any of the antigen-binding domains described herein, e.g., an antigen-binding fragment of an antibody (e.g., any of the antigen-binding fragments of an antibody described herein), a VHH-scAb, a VHH-Fab, a Dual scFab, a F(ab’)2, a diabody, a crossMab, a DAF (two- in-one), a DAF (four-in-one), a DutaMab, a DT-IgG, a knobs-in-holes common light chain, a knobs-in-holes assembly, a charge pair, a Fab-arm exchange, a SEEDbody, a LUZ-Y, a Fcab, a κλ-body, an orthogonal Fab, a DVD-IgG, a IgG(H)-scFv, a scFv- (H)IgG, IgG(L)-scFv, scFv-(L)IgG, IgG(L,H)-Fv, IgG(H)-V, V(H)-IgG, IgG(L)-V, V(L)- IgG, KIH IgG-scFab, 2scFv-IgG, IgG-2scFv, scFv4-Ig, Zybody, DVI-IgG, Diabody- CH3, a triple body, a miniantibody, a minibody, a TriBi minibody, scFv-CH3 KIH, Fab- scFv, a F(ab’)2-scFv2, a scFv-KIH, a Fab-scFv-Fc, a tetravalent HCAb, a scDiabody-Fc, a Diabody-Fc, a tandem scFv-Fc, an Intrabody, a dock and lock, a lmmTAC, an IgG-IgG conjugate, a Cov-X-Body, and a scFv1-PEG-scFv2. See, e.g., Spiess et al., Mol. Immunol. 67:95-106, 2015, incorporated in its entirety herewith, for a description of these elements. Non-limiting examples of an antigen-binding fragment of an antibody include an Fv fragment, a Fab fragment, a F(ab')2 fragment, and a Fab' fragment. Additional examples of an antigen-binding fragment of an antibody is an antigen-binding fragment of an IgG (e.g., an antigen-binding fragment of IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, or IgG4) (e.g., an antigen-binding fragment of a human or humanized IgG, e.g., human or humanized IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, or IgG4); an antigen-binding fragment of an IgA (e.g., an antigen-binding fragment of IgA1 or IgA2) (e.g., an antigen-binding fragment of a human or humanized IgA, e.g., a human or humanized IgA1 or IgA2); an antigen-binding fragment of an IgD (e.g., an antigen-binding fragment of a human or humanized IgD); an antigen-binding fragment of an IgE (e.g., an antigen-binding fragment of a human or humanized IgE); or an antigen-binding fragment of an IgM (e.g., an antigen-binding fragment of a human or humanized IgM). Agents that Bind to a Latency-Associated Peptide (LAP) Non-limiting examples of agents that bind to a latency-associated peptide (LAP) are TGF-β1, thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1), integrin αvβ6, or KRFK peptide. In some embodiments, LAP binds TGF-β1, forming a latent complex, wherein LAP is presumed to function as a sequestering agent for active TGF-β1. In some embodiments, LAP of the latent TGF-β complex also interacts with thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) as part of a biologically active complex. TSP-1/LAP complex formation involves the activation sequence of TPS-1 (KRFK) and a sequence (LSKL) near the amino terminus of LAP that is conserved in TGF- β1-5. The interactions of LAP with TSP-1 through the LSKL and KRFK sequences are important for thrombospondin-mediated activation of latent TGF-β since LSKL peptides can competitively inhibit latent TGF- β activation by TSP-1 or KRFK-containing peptides. In some embodiments, integrin αvβ6 has been shown to have high affinity for the TGF-β1 LAP and to participate in the activation of the TGF-β1 latent complex. Agents that Bind to a TGF-β/LAP Complex Non-limiting examples of agents that bind to a TFG-β/LAP complex are latent TGF-β binding proteins (LTBP). In some embodiments, the latent TGF-β binding protein (LTBP) binds a TFG-β/LAP complex, forming a larger complex called large latent complex (LLC). In some embodiments, LTBPs include LTBP-1, LTBP-2, LTBP-3 and LTBP-4. In some embodiments, LTBP-1 forms a disulfide linked complex with the TGFβ propeptide (e.g., LAP) in the endoplasmic reticulum. In some embodiments, LTBP-4 binds only to TGF-β1, thus, mutation in LTBP-4 can lead to TGF-β associated complications which are specific to tissues that predominantly involve TGF-β1.

EXAMPLES The invention is further described in the following examples, which do not limit the scope of the invention described in the claims. Example 1: Immunostimulation in C57BL/6 mice using a multi-chain polypeptide Materials and Methods An exemplary multi-chain polypeptide (a type A multi-chain polypeptide described herein) was generated that includes a first polypeptide and a second polypeptide, where the first polypeptide is a soluble fusion of two TGFβRII domains, a human tissue factor 219 fragment, and a human IL-15, and the second polypeptide is a soluble fusion of two TGFβRII domains and the sushi domain of human IL-15Rα chain. Results Immunostimulation in C57BL/6 mice Wild type C57BL/6 mice were treated subcutaneously with either a control PBS solution or with the multi-chain polypeptide at a dosage of 0.3 mg/kg, 1 mg/kg, 3 mg/kg, or 10 mg/kg, respectively. Four days after treatment, spleen weight and the percentages of various immune cell types present in the spleen were evaluated. Specifically, single splenocyte suspensions were generated and stained with fluorochrome-conjugated antibodies including anti-CD4, anti-CD8, anti-NK1.1, and anti-CD19. The percentages of CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, Natural Killer (NK) cells, and CD19+ B cells present in the spleen of mice treated with either the control solution or the multi-chain polypeptide were evaluated using flow cytometry. As shown in Figure 1A, the spleen weight in mice treated with the multi-chain polypeptide increased with increasing dosage of the multi- chain polypeptide. Moreover, the spleen weight in mice treated with 1 mg/kg, 3 mg/kg, and 10 mg/kg of the multi-chain polypeptide were significantly higher as compared to mice treated with the control solution, respectively. As shown in Figure 1B, in the spleens of mice treated with the multi-chain polypeptide, the percentages of CD8+ T cells and NK cells both increased with increasing dosage of the multi-chain polypeptide. Specifically, the percentages of CD8+ T cells were higher in mice treated with 0.3 mg/kg, 3 mg/kg, and 10 mg/kg of the multi-chain polypeptide compared to control-treated mice, and the percentages of NK cells were higher in mice treated with 0.3 mg/kg, 1 mg/kg, 3 mg/kg, and 10 mg/kg of the multi-chain polypeptide compared to control-treated mice. These results demonstrate that the exemplary multi-chain polypeptide is able to stimulate immune cells in the spleen, in particular CD8+ T cells and NK cells. Pharmacokinetics The pharmacokinetics of the exemplary multi-chain polypeptide were evaluated in wild type C57BL/6 mice. Mice were treated subcutaneously with the multi-chain polypeptide at a dosage of 3 mg/kg. Blood was collected at various time points via tail vein, and serum was prepared. The concentration of the multi-chain polypeptide in the serum was determined with ELISA. Briefly, the multi-chain polypeptide was captured using an anti-human tissue factor antibody, and detected using a biotinylated anti-human TGFβ receptor, a peroxidase conjugated streptavidin, and ABTS substrate. The results showed that the half-life of the exemplary multi-chain polypeptide was 12.66 hours. Immunostimulation over time in C57BL/6 mice To evaluate the effect of immunostimulation by the multi-chain polypeptide over time, mice were treated with a single dose of the multi-chain polypeptide at 3 mg/kg and the spleen weight and percentages of immune cell types present in the spleen were evaluated immediately upon treatment and at 16, 24, 48, 72, and 92 hours after treatment, using techniques described above. As shown in Figure 2A, the spleen weight of mice treated with the multi-chain polypeptide increased at 48 hours after treatment, and continued to increase over the next 44 hours. Moreover, as shown in Figure 2B, in the spleens of mice treated with the multi-chain polypeptide, the percentages of CD8+ T cells and NK cells both increased at 48 hours after treatment and continued to increase over the next 44 hours. These results further demonstrate that the exemplary multi-chain polypeptide is able to stimulate immune cells in the spleen, in particular CD8+ T cells and NK cells, over time. Increased proliferation and Granzyme B expression by CD8+ T cells and NK cells To evaluate the proliferation and cytotoxic potential of the immune cells induced by the multi-chain polypeptide, mice were treated with a single dose of the multi-chain polypeptide at 3 mg/kg, and the spleens of these mice were evaluated immediately after, and at 16, 24, 48, 72, and 92 hours after treatment. Briefly, single splenocyte suspensions were generated and stained with fluorochrome-conjugated antibodies for the various cell types including anti-CD4, anti-CD8, anti-NK1.1, and anti-CD19, and with an anti-Ki67 antibody (i.e. a cell proliferation marker) and an anti-Granzyme B antibody (i.e. a cytotoxic marker). The mean fluorescent intensity (MFI) of Ki67 and Granzyme B for each immune cell type was analyzed by flow cytometry. As shown in Figures 3A and 3B, the expression of Ki67 and Granzyme B by NK cells showed an increase at 24 hours as well as each time point evaluated thereafter as compared to immediately after treatment (0 hours). Moreover, the expression of Ki67 and Granzyme B by CD8+ T cells showed an increase at 48 hours as well as each time point evaluated thereafter as compared to immediately after treatment (0 hours). As such, a single dose of the multi-chain polypeptide resulted in proliferation of CD8+ T cells and NK cells for up to at least 4 days post-treatment. These results demonstrate that the multi-chain polypeptide not only increased the number of CD8+ T cells and NK cells in the spleen, but also enhanced the proliferation and cytotoxicity of these cells. Cytotoxicity against tumor cells Next, the cytotoxicity of the splenocytes activated by the multi-chain polypeptide against tumor cells were evaluated in C57BL/6 mice. Mouse Moloney leukemia cells (Yac-1) were labeled with CellTrace Violet and used as tumor target cells. C57BL/6 mice were treated with a single dose of the multi-chain polypeptide at 3 mg/kg, and splenocytes were prepared at various time points thereafter and used as effector cells. The target tumor cells were mixed with the effector cells at an effector:target (E:T) ratio of 10:1, and incubated at 37°C for 20 hours. Target cell viability was assessed by analyzing Propidium Iodide (PI)-positive, violet-labeled Yac-1 cells using flow cytometry. The percentage of Yac-1 tumor inhibition was calculated using the formula: Percentage of Yac-1 tumor inhibition = (1-viable Yac-1 cell number in experimental sample/viable Yac-1 cell number in the sample without splenocytes) x 100 As shown in Figure 4, splenocytes from mice after 24-hour or more treatment with the multi-chain polypeptide showed increased cytotoxicity against Yac-1 cells as compared to the splenocytes from untreated mice. Example 2: Immunostimulation in C57BL/6 mice using a high fat diet-based Type-2 diabetes mouse model Materials and Methods TGFRt15-TGFRs is a multi-chain chimeric polypeptide (a type A multi-chain chimeric polypeptide described herein) that includes two TGFβ-binding domains which a soluble human TGFβRII dimer (aa24-159). 21t15-TGFRs is a multi-chain chimeric polypeptide (a type A multi-chain chimeric polypeptide described herein) that includes IL-21 and a TGFβ-binding domain. 2t2 is a chimeric polypeptide (a type B chimeric polypeptide described herein) that include two IL-2 polypeptides. Results To evaluate the effect of TGFRt15-TGFRs, 2t2, and 21t15-TGFRs in treating Type-2 diabetes, a high fat diet-based Type-2 diabetes mouse model (B6.129P2- ApoEtm1Unc/J from The Jackson Laboratory) was used. Mice were fed either a control diet or a high fat diet for 11 weeks. A subset of mice fed with the high fat diet were also treated with TGFRt15-TGFRs, 2t2, or 21t15-TGFRs. Mice fed the control diet, high fat diet, and mice fed with the high fat diet and treated with TGFRt15-TGFRs, 2t2, or 21t15- TGFRs were evaluated 4 days post-treatment. Briefly, single splenocyte suspensions were generated and stained with fluorochrome-conjugated antibodies including anti-CD4, anti-CD8, anti-NK1.1, and anti-CD19. The percentages of CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, Natural Killer (NK) cells, and CD19+ B cells present in the spleen of mice in each group were evaluated using flow cytometry. As shown in Figure 5A, in mice fed a high fat diet, the percentage of NK cells in PBMCs was significantly increased after treatment with TGFRt15-TGFRs or 2t2 compared to untreated mice, but not after treatment with 21t15-TGFRs. Furthermore, the percentage of CD8+ T cells in PBMCs was significantly increased after treatment with TGFRt15-TGFRs, 2t2, or 21t15-TGFRs compared to untreated mice. Moreover, the proliferation of CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, Natural Killer (NK) cells, and CD19+ B cells in PBMCs were also evaluated using an anti-Ki67 antibody. As shown in Figure 5B, the number of proliferating NK cells, CD4+ T cells, and CD8+ T cells were significantly increased after treatment with TGFRt15-TGFRs, but not after treatment with 2t2 or 21t15-TGFRs. To examine the effect of TGFRt15-TGFRs, 2t2 and 21t15-TGFRs on the appearance and texture of skin and hair in animals, mice were fed either a control or a high fat diet for 7 weeks, and a subset of the mice fed a high fat diet were also treated with TGFRt15-TGFRs, 2t2 or 21t15-TGFRs. One week post-treatment, the appearance of the mice was evaluated. Mice fed a high fat diet and untreated, or a high diet and treated with 21t15-TGFRs appeared ungroomed and ruffled, and had increased gray hair/hair loss as compared to mice fed a control diet (Figure 6A, 6B and 6E). Surprisingly, mice fed a high fat diet that received TGFRt15-TGFRs or 2t2 treatment appeared groomed and healthier (less gray hair/hair loss) (Figure 6C and 6D) as compared to mice fed a high fat diet that did not receive TGFRt15-TGFRs or 2t2 treatment (Figure 6B). Specifically, TGFRt15-TGFRs or 2t2-treated mice showed superior skin and hair appearance and texture as compared to control mice. These results demonstrate that treatment with TGFRt15-TGFRs or 2t2 improves the appearance and texture of skin and hair in mammals. Next, mice were fed either a control or high fat diet for 9 weeks, and a subset of the mice fed a high fat diet were treated with TGFRt15-TGFRs, 2t2, or 21t15-TGFRs. Four days post-treatment, the fasting body weight of mice in each group were measured. The fasting body weight of mice fed with the high fat diet and untreated, as well as mice fed with the high fat diet and treated with 21t15-TGFRs were significantly increased compared to mice fed a control diet. However, the fasting body weight of mice fed a high fat diet and treated with TGFRt15-TGFRs or 2t2 were decreased compared to the other two high fat diet groups mentioned above. The fasting body weight of the mice at the end of the study (9 weeks) is shown in Figure 7. To evaluate the fasting glucose levels in the mice of each group, mice were fed either a control or a high fat diet and were either untreated or treated with TGFRt15- TGFRs, 2t2, or 21t15-TGFRs on days 44, 59 and 73. The fasting blood glucose in the mice of each group were measured 4 days post-treatment. As shown in Figure 8, after the second and third doses (on Days 59 and 73, respectively), the fasting blood glucose level was significantly reduced for mice fed a high fat diet and treated with 2t2 (red line) as compared to mice fed a high fat diet but untreated (yellow line). The fasting blood glucose level remained constant for mice fed a high fat diet and treated with TGFRt15- TGFRs (green line), whereas the fasting blood glucose level increased for mice fed a high fat diet and treated with 21t15-TGFRs (blue line). Example 3: Chemotherapy-induced Senescent B16F10 Melanoma Cells express NK ligands Material and Methods Cellular senescence in B16F10 melanoma cells was induced by treating the cells with docetaxel (7.5µM, Sigma) for 3 days followed by recovery in complete media for 4 days. Cellular senescence was accessed by staining the cells with senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA β-gal). Briefly, B16F10 control and senescence cells (B16F10-SNC) were washed once with PBS, fixed with 0.5% glutaraldehyde (PBS (pH 7.2)), for 30 minutes. Cells were stained in X-gal solution (1 mg/mL X-gal, 0.12 mM K3Fe [CN]6, 0.12 mM K4Fe[CN]6, and 1 mM MgCl2 in PBS at pH 6.0) overnight at 37 °C, and were imaged using a Nikon optical light microscope. Results Cellular senescence in B16F10 melanoma cells was induced using chemotherapy as described above. As shown in Figure 9A, chemotherapy-induced senescent B16F10 cells (B16F10-SNC) were positive for SA β-gal staining, while the control B16F10 cells were not stained. Next, expression of senescence genes was analyzed using RT-qPCR with RNA isolated on day 0 or following senescence induction on days 4, 8, 12 and 16, respectively. The expression levels were normalized to control B16F10 cells. As shown in Figures 9B-9D, the expression of p21, IL6 and DPP4 were upregulated in RNA isolated from the senescent cells over the duration of the experiment. Moreover, as shown in Figures 9E and 9F, the expression of RATE1E and ULBP1 (NK activating receptor NKG2D ligands) were also induced in senescent cells, with the highest expression level being on day 16. These results demonstrate that the chemotherapy-induced senescent B16F10 cells are subjected to stronger cytotoxicity of activated NK cells than control B16F10 cells. Acquisition of Stem-cell Properties in Chemotherapy-induced Senescent B16F10 Melanoma Cells To examine whether chemotherapy-induced senescent B16F10 melanoma cells acquired stem cell properties, a colony formation assay was performed. Briefly, 1000 cells/well were seeded on a six well plate, and the media was changed every third day. As shown in Figure 10A (images taken at 100x magnification), after 5 weeks in culture the senescent cells were able to form colonies. To evaluate stem cell marker expression by the colonies, RNA was isolated from the colonies and the expression of Oct4 and Notch4 mRNA were determined by RT-qPCR. As compared to control B16F10 cells, chemotherapy-induced senescent B16F10 melanoma cells showed upregulation of Oct4 and Notch 4, which are cancer stem cell markers (Figures 10B and 10C). Moreover, cell surface expression of stem cell markers CD44, CD24 and CD133 were evaluated by staining with antibodies against CD44, CD24, and CD133 followed by flow cytometry. As shown in Figures 10D-10F, double positive populations (CD44+CD24+, CD44+CD133+, and CD24+CD133+) were increased in the chemotherapy induced senescence stem cells (B16F10-SNC-CSC) compared to control B16F10. Chemotherapy-induced senescent (CIS) melanoma cells with stem cell properties are more “Migratory” and “Invasive” than control B16F10 cells The migratory properties of chemotherapy-induced senescent (CIS) melanoma cells with stem cell properties (B16F10-SNC-CSC) were analyzed using a migration assay. Briefly, control B16F10 cells and B16F10-SNC-CSC cells were plated on six well plates and wounded with a p20 pipette tip. Movement of cells were imaged at 0, 12, and 24 hours after. As shown in Figure 11A, chemotherapy-induced senescent (CIS) melanoma cells with stem cell properties (B16F10-SNC-CSC) were more migratory in the in vitro migration assay, as compared to control B16F10 cells. Next, the invasive properties of chemotherapy-induced senescent cells with stem cell properties (B16F10-SNC-CSC) were analyzed using an invasion assay. The invasion assay was carried out on 24-well transwell inserts coated with Matrigel. Briefly, 0.5x106 control B16F10 cells and B16F10-SNC-CSC cells were seeded in serum-free media onto the upper chamber, and the lower chamber was filled with media supplemented with 10% FBS. After 16 hours of incubation, the cells on the upper surface of the filter were removed, and cells underneath the filter were fixed and stained with a 0.02% crystal violet solution. The number of cells were counted in three fields at 100× magnification. As shown in Figures 11B and 11C, chemotherapy-induced senescent cells with stem cell properties were more aggressive in invading the Matrigel coated membrane as compared to control B16F10 cells. These results demonstrate that chemotherapy-induced senescent B16F10 tumor cells are able to regain their proliferation capability, obtain stem-cell features, and have increased migratory abilities and invasiveness for metastasis. Cytotoxic Activity of Mouse NK Cells on Chemotherapy-induced Senescent Cells with Stem Cell Properties To expand NK cells in vivo, C57BL/6 mice were injected subcutaneously with TGFRt15-TGFRs (10 mg/kg) for 4 days. The spleens from these mice were obtained and NK cells were purified using MACS Miltenyi column. The purified NK cells were then expanded in vitro with 2t2 (Figure 12A). To evaluate the cytotoxicity of the expanded NK cells, chemotherapy-induced senescent stem cells (B16F10-SNC-CSC) or control B16F10 cells were labelled with CellTrace violet and incubated with in vitro activated 2t2 mouse NK cells (isolated from spleen of C57BL/6 mice injected with 10 mg/kg TGFRt15-TGFRs for 4 days) at various E:T ratios for 16 hrs. The B16F10-SNC-CSC and control B16F10 cells were trypsinized, washed and re-suspended in complete media containing a Propidium Iodide (PI) solution, and cytotoxicity was accessed by flow cytometry. As shown in Figure 12B, NK cells were more effective at killing chemotherapy-induced senescent cells with stem cell properties (B16F10-SNC-CSC), as compared to control B16F10 cells. Combination Treatment in Melanoma Mouse Model The effect of TGFRt15-TGFRs in treating melanoma was evaluated in a mouse melanoma model. Briefly, 5x105 B16F10 cells were injected subcutaneously into C57BL/6 mice. When the tumor volume reached ~100 mm3, mice were treated with docetaxel (chemotherapy) (5 mg/kg) or TA99 (200 µg) either as a single agent or in combination every third day, and TGFRt15-TGFRs (3 mg/kg) was given once a week (Figure 13A). Mice that received saline, docetaxel (chemotherapy)/TA99 alone, or TGFRt15-TGFRs alone were used as controls. Five mice were tested in each experimental and control group. Tumor volume was measured every third day. As shown in Figures 13B and 13C, combinations of TGFRt15-TGFRs with either chemotherapy or TA99 slowed down tumor progression as compared to mice treated with saline or mice treated with chemotherapy or TA99 alone in the syngeneic melanoma mouse model. Example 4: Chemotherapeutic Induction of Senescence in Human Pancreatic Cell Line SW1990 Materials and Methods β-galactosidase staining: Confirmation of chemotherapy induced senescence was carried out by standard β-galactosidase staining at pH 6.0 using commercially available kit (Cell Signaling Technology) according to manufacturer’s instructions. The following day, the staining solution was removed, and cells were washed with phosphate buffered saline, and 70% glycerol was added to the wells. The β-galactosidase positive cells will be stained blue, while control untreated cells will not stain. Flow cytometry: One million control and senescent cells were obtained and stained using commercially available antibodies to surface markers of stem cells such as anti-CD44 and anti-CD24 antibodies (Biolegend) according to manufacturers’ instructions. The cells were then washed and analyzed using the BD Celesta flow cytometer. Cells showing stem cell-like properties will be doubly positive for both CD44 and CD24. Gene expression assay: One million control and senescent cells were obtained and lysed using Trizol (Thermofisher), followed by RNA purification using an RNA isolation kit (Qiagen). The RNA was quantified and converted to cDNA using a Qiagen cDNA Quantitect kit. The cDNA was then used as a template for standard Taqman gene expression assays (Thermofisher) to quantify the relative abundance of senescent, stem cell markers as well as NK ligands. NK cell cytotoxicity assay: NK cells were isolated from healthy human donors (n=2) using a commercially available NK isolation kit (Stem Cell), and were activated overnight using the cytokine fusion molecule 18t15-12s (100nM). On the following day, NK cells were washed to remove cytokine molecules and mixed with either CellTrace Violet labelled control untreated tumor cells or chemotherapy-induced senescent tumor cells at an E:T ratio of 4:1 for 20 hours. On the following day, cells were trypsinized, and complete contents of each well were analyzed using flow cytometry and percent inhibition of cells was analyzed. Results Senescence in the human pancreatic tumor cell line SW1990 was induced through treatment with chemotherapeutic drugs Abraxane (Celgene) and Gemcitabine (Sigma Aldrich) for 3 days at 2.5µM and 6.25µM, respectively. SW1990 cells that were untreated were used as controls. Media was changed after 3 days and cells were allowed to rest in the culture media for 4 days. As shown in Figure 14, senescent cells treated with the chemotherapeutic drugs were positive for β-galactosidase staining (blue), while control cells were not stained. Senescent cells and control cells were evaluated for their expression of senescence and stem cell markers at 4 days, 11 days, and 22 days post-treatment. As shown in Figure 14, senescent cells showed increased double positive staining for CD44 and CD24 over time as compared to the control cells. Moreover, the chemotherapy-induced senescent SW1990 cells were also analyzed for their expression of senescent markers including DPP4, IL6, and p21, stem cell markers including Oct3/4, CD24, and CD44, and NK ligands including Nectin and MICA, on day 0, and days 2, 4, and 24 post-treatment using the gene expression assay described above. As shown in Figure 15, the expression of all of the markers mentioned showed an increase over time. Cytotoxicity of in vitro activated Human NK Cells To evaluate the cytotoxicity of in vitro activated human NK Cells (treated with 18t15-12s), senescence in the human pancreatic tumor cell line SW1990 was induced through treatment with chemotherapeutic drugs Abraxane (Celgene) and Gemcitabine (Sigma Aldrich) for 3 days at 2.5µM and 6.25µM, respectively. SW1990 cells that were untreated were used as controls. Media was changed after 3 days and cells were allowed to rest in the culture media for 30 days. The culture media was changed every 4 days. Activated NK cells were obtained and their cytotoxicity for chemotherapy-induced senescent tumor cells and untreated control tumor cells were evaluated using the NK cell cytotoxicity assay described above. As shown in Figure 16, activated NK cells showed increased cytotoxicity against both control SW1990 cells (SW1990) and senescent SW1990 cells (SW1990s). Example 5: Creation of an IL-12/IL-15RαSu DNA construct In a non-limiting example, an IL-12/IL-15RαSu DNA construct was created (Figure 17). The human IL-12 subunit sequences, human IL-15R ^Su sequence, human IL-15 sequence, human tissue factor 219 sequence, and human IL-18 sequence were obtained from the UniProt website and DNA for these sequences was synthesized by Genewiz. A DNA construct was made linking the IL-12 subunit beta (p40) to IL-12 subunit alpha (p35) with a GS (3) linker to generate a single chain version of IL-12 and then directly linking the IL-12 sequence to the IL-15RαSu sequence. The final IL-12/IL- 15RαSu DNA construct sequence was synthesized by Genewiz.

Co-expression of the two constructs in CHO-K1 cells allowed for formation and secretion of a soluble IL-18/TF/IL-15:IL-12/IL-15RαSu protein complex (referred to as 18t15-12s; Figure 19 and Figure 20). The 18t15-12s protein was purified from CHO-K1 cell culture supernatant using anti-TF antibody affinity chromatography and size exclusion chromatography resulting in soluble (non- aggregated) protein complexes consisting of IL-12/IL-15RαSu and IL-18/TF/IL-15 fusion proteins.

Example 8: Purification of 18t15-12s by immunoaffinity chromatography An anti-TF antibody affinity column was connected to a GE Healthcare™ AKTA Avant protein purification system. The flow rate was 4 mL/min for all steps except the elution step, which was 2 mL/min. Cell culture harvest of 18t15-12s was adjusted to pH 7.4 with 1M Tris base and loaded onto the anti-TF antibody affinity column equilibrated with 5 column volumes of PBS. After loading the sample, the column was washed with 5 column volumes PBS, followed by elution with 6 column volumes 0.1M acetic acid, pH 2.9. Absorbance at 280 nm was collected and then the sample was neutralized to pH 7.5-8.0 by adding 1M Tris base. The neutralized sample was then buffer exchanged into PBS using Amicon® centrifugal filters with a 30 KDa molecular weight cutoff. Figure 21 shows that the 18t15-12s complex binds the anti-TF antibody affinity column, wherein TF is an 18t15- 12s binding partner. The buffer-exchanged protein sample is stored at 2-8°C for further biochemical analysis and biological activity testing. After each elution, the anti-TF antibody affinity column was then stripped using 6 column volumes 0.1M glycine, pH 2.5. The column was then neutralized using 10 column volumes PBS, 0.05% sodium azide and stored at 2-8°C. Example 9: Size exclusion chromatography of 18t15-12s A GE Healthcare Superdex® 200 Increase 10/300 GL gel filtration column was connected to a GE Healthcare AKTA™ Avant protein purification system. The column was equilibrated with 2 column volumes of PBS. The flow rate was 0.8 mL/min. A capillary loop was used to inject 200µL of 1 mg/mL of 18t15-12s complex onto the column. The injection was chased with 1.25 column volumes of PBS. The SEC chromatograph is shown in Figure 22. There is a main 18t15-12s protein peak with a minor high molecular weight peak, likely due to differing degrees of glycosylation of 18t15-12s dimers or aggregates. Example 10: SDS-PAGE of 18t15-12s To determine the purity and protein molecular weight, the purified 18t15-12s protein sample was analyzed using 4-12% NuPage Bis-Tris protein gel SDS-PAGE. The gel was stained with InstantBlue™ for about 30 min, followed by destaining overnight in purified water. Figure 23 shows an example SDS gel of anti-TF antibody affinity purified 18t15-12s, with bands at the expected molecular weights (66 kDa and 56 kDa). Example 11: Glycosylation of 18t15-12s in CHO-K1 cells Glycosylation of 18t15-12s in CHO-K1 cells was confirmed using the Protein Deglycosylation Mix II kit (New England Biolabs), according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Figure 24 shows an example SDS PAGE of deglycosylated and non- deglycosylated 18t15-12s. Deglycosylation reduces the molecular weight of 18t15-12s as seen in Figure 24, lane 4. Example 12: Recombinant protein quantitation of 18t15-12s complexes The 18t15-12s complex was detected and quantified using standard sandwich ELISA methods (Figures 25-28). Anti-human tissue factor antibody served as the capture antibody and biotinylated anti-human IL-12, IL-15, or IL-18 antibody (BAF 219, BAM 247, D045-6, all R&D Systems) served as the detection antibody. Tissue factor in purified 18t15-12s protein complexes was also detected using an anti-human tissue factor capture antibody (I43), and anti-human tissue factor antibody detection. The I43/anti-TF antibody ELISA was compared to purified tissue factor at similar concentrations. Example 13: Immunostimulatory capacity of the 18t15-12s complex To assess the IL-15 immunostimulatory activity of the 18t15-12s complex, increasing concentrations of 18t15-12s was added to 32Dβ cells (104 cell/well) in 200 µL IMDM:10% FBS media. The 32Dβ cells were incubated for 3 days at 37°C. On the fourth day, WST-1 proliferation reagent (10 µL/well) was added and after 4 hours, absorbance was measured at 450 nm to determine cell proliferation based on cleavage of WST-1 to a soluble formazan dye. Bioactivity of human recombinant IL-15 was assessed as a positive control. As shown in Figure 29, 18t15-12s demonstrated IL-15-dependent cell proliferation of 32Dβ cells. The 18t15-12s complex demonstrated reduced activity compared to human recombinant IL-15, possibly due to the linkage of IL-18 and tissue factor to the IL-15 domain. In order to assess the individual activities of IL-12 and IL-18 in the 18t15-12s complex, 18t15-12s was added to HEK-Blue IL-12 and HEK-Blue IL-18 reporter cells (5x104 cell/well; hkb-il12 and hkb-hmil18, InvivoGen) in 200 µL IMDM:10% heat- inactivated FBS media. Cells were incubated for overnight at 37°C. 20 ^l of induced HEK-Blue IL-12 and HEK-Blue IL-18 reporter cell supernatant was added to 180 ^l of QUANTI-Blue (InvivoGen), and incubated for 1-3 hours at 37°C. IL-12 or IL-18 activity was assessed by measuring absorbance at 620 nm. Human recombinant IL-12 or IL-18 was assessed as a positive or negative control. As shown in Figure 30 and Figure 31, each of the cytokine domains of the 18t15-12s complex retain specific biological activity. The activity of 18t15-12s was reduced compared to that of human recombinant IL-18 or IL-12, possibly due to linkage of IL-15 and tissue factor to the IL-18 domain and linkage of IL-12 to the IL-15R ^ sushi domain. Example 14: Induction of cytokine-induced memory-like NK cells by the 18t15-12s complex Cytokine-induced memory-like NK cells can be induced ex vivo following overnight stimulation of purified NK cells with saturating amounts of IL-12 (10 ng/mL), IL-15 (50 ng/mL), and IL-18 (50 ng/mL). These memory-like properties have been measured through expression of IL-2 receptor ɑ (IL-2Rɑ, CD25), CD69 (and other activation markers), and increased IFN-γ production.  To evaluate the ability of 18t15-12s complexes to promote generation of cytokine-induced memory-like NK cells, purified human NK cells (>95% CD56+) were stimulated for 14-18 hours with 0.01nM to 10000nM of the 18t15-12s complex or a combination of individual cytokines (recombinant IL-12 (10 ng/ml), IL-18 (50 ng/ml), and IL-15 (50 ng/ml)). Cell-surface CD25 and CD 69 expression and intracellular IFN-γ levels were assessed by antibody- staining and flow cytometry. Fresh human leukocytes were obtained from a blood bank and CD56+ NK cells were isolated with the RosetteSep/human NK cell reagent (StemCell Technologies). The purity of NK cells was >70% and confirmed by staining with CD56-BV421, CD16- BV510, CD25-PE, CD69-APCFire750 specific antibodies (BioLegend). Cells were counted and resuspended in 0.2 x 106/mL in a 96 well flat bottom plate in 0.2 mL of complete media (RPMI 1640 (Gibco), supplemented with 2 mM L-glutamine (Thermo Life Technologies), penicillin (Thermo Life Technologies), streptomycin (Thermo Life Technologies), and 10% FBS (Hyclone)). Cells were stimulated with either a mixture of cytokines hIL-12 (10 ng/mL) (Biolegend), hIL-18 (50 ng/mL) (R&D Systems) and hIL- 15 (50 ng/mL) (NCI) or with 0.01 nM to 10000nM of the 18t15-12s at 37 ^C, 5% CO2 for 14-18 hrs. The cells were then harvested and surface stained for CD56-BV421, CD16- BV510, CD25-PE, CD69-APCFire750 specific antibodies (BioLegend) for 30 minutes. After staining, cells were washed (1500 RPM for 5 minutes at room temperature) in FACS buffer (1X PBS (Hyclone), with 0.5% BSA (EMD Millipore) and 0.001% sodium azide (Sigma)). After two washes, cells were analyzed using a BD FACSCelesta™ flow cytometer (Plotted Data-Mean Fluorescence Intensity; Figure.32A and Figure 32B). Fresh human leukocytes were obtained from a blood bank and CD56+ NK cells were isolated with the RosetteSep/human NK cell reagent (StemCell Technologies). The purity of NK cells was >70% and confirmed by staining with CD56-BV421, CD16- BV510, CD25-PE, CD69-APCFire750 specific antibodies (BioLegend). Cells were counted and resuspended in 0.2 x 106/mL in a 96 well flat bottom plate in 0.2 mL of complete media (RPMI 1640 (Gibco), supplemented with 2 mM L-glutamine (Thermo Life Technologies), penicillin (Thermo Life Technologies), streptomycin (Thermo Life Technologies), and 10% FBS (Hyclone)). Cells were stimulated with either a cytokine mix of hIL-12 (10 ng/mL) (Biolegend), hIL-18 (50 ng/mL) (R&D), and hIL-15 (50 ng/mL) (NCI), or 0.01 nM to 10000 nM of the 18t15-12s complex at 37°C, 5% CO2 for 14-18 hrs. The cells were then treated with 10 µg/mL of Brefeldin A (Sigma) and 1X of Monensin (eBioscience) for 4 hrs before harvesting and staining for CD56-BV421, CD16-BV510, CD25-PE, CD69-APCFire750 specific antibodies for 30 minutes. After staining, cells were washed (1500 RPM for 5 minutes in room temperature) in FACS buffer (1X PBS (Hyclone), with 0.5% BSA (EMD Millipore) and 0.001% sodium azide (Sigma)) and fixed for 10 minutes at room temperature. After fixation, cells were washed (1500 RPM for 5 minutes in room temperature) in 1x permeabilized buffer (eBioscience) and stained with IFN-γ- PE (Biolegend) for 30 minutes at room temperature. Cells were washed once again with 1x permeabilized buffer and then washed with FACS buffer. Cell pellets were resuspended in 300 µls of FACS buffer and analyzed using a BD FACSCelesta™ flow cytometer (Plotted % of IFN-γ Positive Cells; Figure 33). Example 15: In vitro cytotoxicity of NK cells against human tumor cells Human myelogenous leukemia cells, K562 (CellTrace violet labelled), were incubated with purified human NK cells in the presence of increasing concentrations of the 18t15-12s complex or a mixture of cytokines as a control. After 20 hours, the cultures were harvested, stained with propidium iodide (PI), and assessed by flow cytometry. As shown in Figure 34, the 18t15-12s complex induced human NK cytotoxicity against K562, at levels similar or greater than the cytokine mixture, wherein both the 18t15-12s complex and the cytokine mixture induced greater cytotoxicity than the medium control. Example 16: Creation of IL-12/IL-15RαSu/αCD16scFv and IL-18/TF/IL-15 DNA constructs In a non-limiting example, IL-12/IL-15RαSu/αCD16scFv and IL-18/TF/IL-15 DNA constructs were created (Figure 35 and Figure 36). The human IL-12 subunit sequences, human IL-15R ^Su sequence, human IL-15 sequence, human tissue factor 219 sequence, and human IL-18 sequence were synthesized by Genewiz. A DNA construct was made linking the IL-12 subunit beta (p40) to IL-12 subunit alpha (p35) with a GS (3) linker to generate a single chain version of IL-12, directly linking the IL-12 sequence to the IL-15RαSu sequence, and directly linking the IL-12/ IL-15RαSu construct to the N- terminus coding region of ^CD16scFv.

Example 23: Purification of 21t15-TGFRs by immunoaffinity chromatography An anti-TF antibody affinity column was connected to a GE Healthcare AKTA™ Avant protein purification system. The flow rate was 4 mL/min for all steps except the elution step, which was 2 mL/min. Cell culture harvest of 21t15-TGFRs was adjusted to pH 7.4 with 1M Tris base and loaded onto the anti-TF antibody affinity column equilibrated with 5 column volumes of PBS. After loading the sample, the column was washed with 5 column volumes PBS, followed by elution with 6 column volumes 0.1M acetic acid, pH 2.9. Absorbance at 280 nm was collected and then the sample was then neutralized to pH 7.5-8.0 by adding 1M Tris base. The neutralized sample was then buffer exchanged into PBS using Amicon® centrifugal filters with a 30 KDa molecular weight cutoff. Figure 44 shows that the 21t15-TGFRs complex binds anti-TF antibody affinity column, wherein TF is a 21t15- TGFRs binding partner. The buffer-exchanged protein sample is stored at 2-8°C for further biochemical analysis and biological activity testing. After each elution, the anti-TF antibody affinity column was then stripped using 6 column volumes 0.1M glycine, pH 2.5. The column was then neutralized using 10 column volumes PBS, 0.05% sodium azide, and stored at 2-8°C. Example 24: Size exclusion chromatography of 21t15-TGFRs A GE Healthcare Superdex® 200 Increase 10/300 GL gel filtration column was connected to a GE Healthcare AKTA™ Avant protein purification system. The column was equilibrated with 2 column volumes of PBS. The flow rate was 0.8 mL/min. A capillary loop was used to inject 200µL of 1 mg/mL of 21t15-TGFRs complex onto the column. The injection was then chased with 1.25 column volumes of PBS. The SEC chromatograph was shown in Figure 45. There were two protein peaks, likely representing a monomer and dimer forms of 21t15-TGFRs. Example 25: SDS-PAGE of 21t15-TGFRs To determine the purity and protein molecular weight, the purified 21t15-TGFRs complex protein sample was analyzed using 4-12% NuPage Bis-Tris protein gel SDS- PAGE under reduced conditions. The gel was stained with InstantBlue™ for about 30 min, followed by destaining overnight in purified water. Figure 46 shows an example SDS gel of anti-TF antibody affinity purified 21t15-TGFRs, with bands at 39.08 kDa and 53 kDa Glycosylation of 21t15-TGFRs in CHO cells was confirmed using the Protein Deglycosylation Mix II kit (New England Biolabs) and the manufacturer’s instructions. Deglycosylation reduces the molecular weight of 21t15-TGFRs, as seen in lane 4 of Figure 46. Example 26: Recombinant protein quantitation of 21t15-TGFRs complexes The 21t15-TGFRs complex was detected and quantified using standard sandwich ELISA methods (Figures 47-50). Anti-human tissue factor antibody served as the capture antibody and biotinylated anti-human IL-21, IL-15, or TGF ^RII served as the detection antibody. Tissue factor was also detected using an anti-human tissue factor capture antibody (I43), and anti-human tissue factor antibody detection. The I43/ anti- TF antibody ELISA was compared to purified tissue factor at similar concentrations. Example 27: Immunostimulatory capacity of the 21t15-TGFRs complex To assess the IL-15 immunostimulatory activity of the 21t15-TGFRs complexes, increasing concentrations of 21t15-TGFRs was added to 32Dβ cells (104 cell/well) in 200 µL IMDM:10% FBS media and cells were incubated for 3 days at 37°C. On the fourth day, WST-1 proliferation reagent (10 µL/well) then was added and after 4 hours, absorbance was measured at 450 nm to determine cell proliferation based on cleavage of WST-1 to a soluble formazan dye. Bioactivity of the human recombinant IL-15 was assessed as a positive control. As shown in Figure 51, 21t15-TGFRs demonstrated IL- 15-dependent 32Dβ cell proliferation. The 21t15-TGFRs complex was reduced compared to that of human recombinant IL-15, possibly due to the linkage of IL-21 and tissue factor to the IL-15 domain. Additionally, HEK-Blue TGF ^ reporter cells (hkb-tgfb, InvivoGen) were used to measure the ability of 21t15-TGFRs to block TGF ^1 activity (Figure 52). Increasing concentrations of 21t15-TGFRs were mixed with 0.1 nM of TGF ^1 and added to HEK-Blue TGF ^ reporter cells (2.5x104 cell/well) in 200 µL IMDM:10% heat-inactivated FBS media. Cells were incubated overnight at 37°C. The next day, 20 ^l of induced HEK-Blue TGF ^ reporter cell supernatant was added to 180 ^l of QUANTI-Blue (InvivoGen) and incubated for 1-3 hours at 37°C. 21t15-TGFRs activity was assessed by measuring absorbance at 620 nm. Human recombinant TGF ^RII/Fc activity was assessed as a positive control. These results demonstrate that TGFβRII domain of the 21t15-TGFRs complex retains its ability to trap TGF ^1. The ability of 21t15-TGFRs to block TGF ^1 activity was reduced compared to that of human recombinant TGFβRII/Fc, possibly due to the linkage of TGF ^RII to the IL-15R ^ sushi domain. Example 28: Induction of cytokine-induced memory-like NK cells by the 21t15- TGFRs complex Cytokine-induced memory-like NK cells can be induced ex vivo following overnight stimulation of purified NK cells with saturating amounts of cytokines. These memory-like properties can be measured through expression of IL-2 receptor ɑ (IL-2Rɑ, CD25), CD69 (and other activation markers), and increased IFN-γ production.  To evaluate the ability of 21t15-TGFRs complexes to promote generation of cytokine- induced memory-like NK cells, purified human NK cells (>95% CD56+) were stimulated for 14-18 hours with 1 nM to 100 nM of the 21t15-TGFRs complex. Cell-surface CD25 and CD 69 expression and intracellular IFN-γ levels were assessed by antibody-staining and flow cytometry. Fresh human leukocytes were obtained from a blood bank and CD56+ NK cells were isolated with the RosetteSep/human NK cell reagent (StemCell Technologies). The purity of NK cells was >70% and confirmed by staining with CD56-BV421, CD16- BV510, CD25-PE, CD69-APCFire750 specific antibodies (BioLegend). Cells were counted and resuspended in 0.2 x 106/mL in a 96 well flat bottom plate in 0.2 mL of complete media (RPMI 1640 (Gibco), supplemented with 2 mM L-glutamine (Thermo Life Technologies), penicillin (Thermo Life Technologies), streptomycin (Thermo Life Technologies), and 10% FBS (Hyclone)). Cells were stimulated with either mix- cytokines of hIL-21 (50 ng/ml) (Biolegend) and hIL-15 (50 ng/ml) (NCI) or with 1 nM, 10 nM, or 100 nM 21t15-TGFRs complex overnight at 37 °C, 5% CO2 for 14-18 hrs. The cells were then harvested and surface stained for CD56-BV421, CD16-BV510, CD25- PE, CD69-APCFire750 specific antibodies for 30 minutes. After staining, cells were washed (1500 RPM for 5 minutes at room temperature) in FACS buffer (1X PBS (Hyclone) with 0.5% BSA (EMD Millipore) and 0.001% sodium azide (Sigma)). After two washes, cells were analyzed using a BD FACSCelesta™ flow cytometer. (Plotted Data-Mean Fluorescence Intensity; Figure 53 and Figure 54). Fresh human leukocytes were obtained from a blood bank and CD56+ NK cells were isolated with the RosetteSep/human NK cell reagent (StemCell Technologies). The purity of NK cells was >70% and confirmed by staining with CD56-BV421, CD16- BV510, CD25-PE, CD69-APCFire750 specific antibodies (BioLegend). Cells were counted and resuspended in 0.2 x 106/ml in a 96 well flat bottom plate in 0.2 mL of complete media (RPMI 1640 (Gibco), supplemented with 2 mM L-glutamine (Thermo Life Technologies), penicillin (Thermo Life Technologies), streptomycin (Thermo Life Technologies), and 10% FBS (Hyclone)). Cells were stimulated with either mix- cytokines of hIL-21 (50 ng/ml) (Biolegend) and hIL-15 (50 ng/ml) (NCI) or with 1 nM, 10 nM, or 100 nM 21t15-TGFRs complex overnight at 37°C, 5% CO2 for 14-18 hrs. The cells were then treated with 10 µg/ml of Brefeldin A (Sigma) and 1X of Monensin (eBioscience) for 4 hrs. Cells were harvested and surface stained for CD56-BV421, CD16-BV510, CD25-PE, CD69-APCFire750 specific antibodies for 30 minutes. After staining, cells were washed (1500 RPM for 5 minutes at room temperature) in FACS buffer (1X PBS (Hyclone) with 0.5% BSA (EMD Millipore) and 0.001% sodium azide (Sigma)) and fixed for 10 minutes at room temperature. After fixation, cells were washed (1500 RPM for 5 minutes at room temperature) with 1x permeabilized buffer (eBioscience) and stained for intracellular IFN-γ- PE (Biolegend) for 30 minutes at room temperature. Cells were washed once again with 1x permeabilized buffer and then washed with FACS buffer. Cell pellets were resuspended in 300 µls of FACS Buffer and analyzed using a BD FACSCelesta™ flow cytometer. (Plotted % of IFN-γ Positive Cells; Figure 55). Example 29: In vitro cytotoxicity of NK cells against human tumor cells K562 (CellTrace violet labelled), human myelogenous leukemia cells, were incubated with purified human NK cells (using StemCell human NK cell purification kit (E:T ratio; 2:1)) in the presence of increasing concentrations of the 21t15-TGFRs complex. After 20 hours, the cultures were harvested, stained with propidium iodide (PI), and assessed by flow cytometry.

The expression vector encoding ^CD3scFv/TF/ ^CD28scFv was transfected into CHO-K1 cells. Expression of the expression vector in CHO-K1 cells allowed for secretion of the soluble ^CD3scFv/TF/ ^CD28scFv single-chain chimeric polypeptide (referred to as 3t28), which can be purified by anti-TF Ab affinity and other chromatography methods. An anti-tissue factor affinity column was used to purify the ^CD3scFv/TF/ ^CD28scFv single-chain chimeric polypeptide. The anti-tissue factor affinity column was connected to a GE Healthcare AKTA Avant system. A flow rate of 4 mL/min was used for all steps except the elution step, which was 2 mL/min. Cell culture harvest including ^CD3scFv/TF/ ^CD28scFv single-chain chimeric polypeptide was adjusted to pH 7.4 with 1M Tris base and loaded onto the anti-TF antibody affinity column (described above) which was equilibrated with 5 column volumes of PBS. After sample loading, the column was washed with 5 column volumes PBS, followed by elution with 6 column volumes 0.1 M acetic acid, pH 2.9. An A280 elution peak was collected and then neutralized to pH 7.5-8.0 by adding 1 M Tris base. The neutralized sample was then buffer exchanged into PBS using Amicon centrifugal filters with a 30 kDa molecular weight cutoff. The data in Figure 58 show that the anti- tissue factor affinity column can bind the ^CD3scFv/TF/ ^CD28scFv single-chain chimeric polypeptide, which contains a human soluble tissue factor domain. The buffer- exchanged protein sample was stored at 2-8 ºC for further biochemical analysis and biological activity testing. After each elution, the anti-tissue factor affinity column was stripped using 6 column volumes of 0.1 M glycine, pH 2.5. The column was then neutralized using 10 column volumes of PBS, 0.05% NaN3, and stored at 2-8 ºC. Analytical size exclusion chromatography (SEC) was performed on the ^CD3scFv/TF/ ^CD28scFv single-chain chimeric polypeptide using a Superdex 200 Increase 10/300 GL gel filtration column (from GE Healthcare) connected to an AKTA Avant system (from GE Healthcare). The column was equilibrated with 2 column volumes of PBS. A flow rate of 0.8 mL/min was used. Two hundred µL of ^CD3scFv/TF/ ^CD28scFv single-chain chimeric polypeptide (1 mg/mL) was injected onto the column using a capillary loop. After injection of the single-chain chimeric polypeptide, 1.25 column volumes of PBS were flowed into the column. The SEC chromatograph is shown in Figure 59. The data show that there are 3 protein peaks, likely representing a monomer and dimer or other different forms of the ^CD3scFv/TF/ ^CD28scFv single-chain chimeric polypeptide. To determine the purity and protein molecular weight of the ^CD3scFv/TF/ ^CD28scFv single-chain chimeric polypeptide, the purified ^CD3scFv/TF/ ^CD28scFv protein sample from anti-tissue factor affinity column was analyzed by standard sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel (4-12% NuPage Bis- Tris gel) electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) method under reduced conditions. The gel was stained with InstantBlue for about 30 minutes and destained overnight with purified water. Figure 60 shows the SDS gel of the ^CD3scFv/TF/ ^CD28scFv single-chain chimeric polypeptide purified using an anti-tissue factor affinity column. The results show that the purified ^CD3scFv/TF/ ^CD28scFv single-chain chimeric polypeptide has the expected molecular weight (72 kDa) in reduced SDS gel. Example 33. Functional Characterization of ^CD3scFv/TF/ ^CD28scFv Single- Chain Chimeric Polypeptide ELISA-based methods confirmed the formation of the ^CD3scFv/TF/ ^CD28scFv single-chain chimeric polypeptide. The ^CD3scFv/TF/ ^CD28scFv single-chain chimeric polypeptide was detected using an anti-TF antibody (I43)/anti-TF antibody- specific ELISA with a capture antibody, anti-human tissue factor antibody (I43), and a detection antibody, anti-TF antibody(Figure 61). A purified tissue factor protein with a similar concentration was used as a control. A further in vitro experiment was performed to determine whether the ^CD3scFv/TF/ ^CD28scFv single-chain chimeric polypeptide is capable of activating human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Fresh human leukocytes were obtained from the blood bank and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were isolated using density gradient Histopaque (Sigma). The cells were counted and resuspended in 0.2 x 106/mL in a 96-well flat bottom plate in 0.2 mL of complete media (RPMI 1640 (Gibco) supplemented with 2 mM L-glutamine (Thermo Life Technologies), penicillin (Thermo Life Technologies), streptomycin (Thermo Life Technologies), and 10% FBS (Hyclone)). The cells were stimulated with ^CD3scFv/TF/ ^CD28scFv single- chain chimeric polypeptide from 0.01 nM to 1000 nM for 3 days at 37 ºC, 5% CO2. After 72 hours, the cells were harvested and surface stained for CD4-488, CD8-PerCP Cy5.5, CD25-BV421,CD69-APCFire750, CD62L-PE Cy7, and CD44-PE specific antibodies (Biolegend) for 30 minutes. After surface staining, the cells were washed (1500 RPM for 5 minutes at room temperature) in FACS buffer (1X PBS (Hyclone) with 0.5% BSA (EMD Millipore) and 0.001% sodium azide (Sigma)). After two washes, the cells were resuspended in 300 ^L of FACS buffer and analyzed by Flow Cytometry (Celesta-BD Bioscience). The data in Figures 62 and 63 show that the ^CD3scFv/TF/ ^CD28scFv single-chain chimeric polypeptide is able to stimulate both CD8+ and CD4+ T-cells. A further experiment was performed, in which PBMCs isolated from blood using Histopaque (Sigma) were counted and resuspended in 0.2 x 106/mL in a 96-well flat bottom plate in 0.2 mL of complete media (RPMI 1640 (Gibco) supplemented with 2 mM L-glutamine (Thermo Life Technologies), penicillin (Thermo Life Technologies), streptomycin (Thermo Life Technologies), and 10% FBS (Hyclone)). The cells were then stimulated with the ^CD3scFv/TF/ ^CD28scFv single-chain chimeric polypeptide from 0.01 nM to 1000 nM for 3 days at 37 ^C, 5% CO2. After 72 hours, the cells were harvested and surface stained for CD4-488, CD8-PerCP Cy5.5, CD25-BV421, CD69- APCFire750, CD62L-PE Cy7, and CD44-PE (Biolegend) for 30 minutes. After surface staining, the cells were washed (1500 RPM for 5 minutes at room temperature) in FACS buffer (1X PBS (Hyclone) with 0.5% BSA (EMD Millipore) and 0.001% sodium azide (Sigma)). After two washes, the cells were resuspended in 300 ^L of FACS buffer and analyzed by Flow Cytometry (Celesta-BD Bioscience). The data again show that the ^CD3scFv/TF/ ^CD28scFv single-chain chimeric polypeptide was able to stimulate activation of CD4+ T cells (Figure 64). Example 34: Creation of an IL-7/IL-15RαSu DNA construct In a non-limiting example, an IL-7/IL-15RαSu DNA construct was created (see Figure 65). The human IL-7 sequence, human IL-15R ^Su sequence, human IL-15 sequence, and human tissue factor 219 sequence were obtained from the UniProt website and DNA for these sequences was synthesized by Genewiz. A DNA construct was made linking the IL-7 sequence to the IL-15RαSu sequence. The final IL-7/IL-15RαSu DNA construct sequence was synthesized by Genewiz.

Co-expression of the two constructs in CHO-K1 cells allowed for formation and secretion of a soluble IL-21/TF/IL-15:IL-7/IL-15RαSu protein complex (referred to as 21t15-7s; Figures 67 and Figure 68). The 21t15-7s protein was purified from CHO-K1 cell culture supernatant using anti-TF antibody affinity chromatography and size exclusion chromatography resulting in soluble (non-aggregated) protein complexes consisting of IL-7/IL-15RαSu and IL-21/TF/IL-15 fusion proteins. In some cases, the leader (signal sequence) peptide is cleaved from the intact polypeptide to generate the mature form that may be soluble or secreted. Example 37: Purification of 21t15-7s by immunoaffinity chromatography An anti-TF antibody affinity column was connected to a GE Healthcare™ AKTA Avant protein purification system. The flow rate was 4 mL/min for all steps except the elution step, which was 2 mL/min. Cell culture harvest of 21t15-7s was adjusted to pH 7.4 with 1M Tris base and loaded onto the anti-TF antibody affinity column equilibrated with 5 column volumes of PBS. After loading the sample, the column was washed with 5 column volumes PBS, followed by elution with 6 column volumes 0.1M acetic acid, pH 2.9. Absorbance at 280 nm was collected and then the sample was neutralized to pH 7.5-8.0 by adding 1M Tris base. The neutralized sample was then buffer exchanged into PBS using Amicon® centrifugal filters with a 30 KDa molecular weight cutoff. The buffer-exchanged protein sample was stored at 2-8°C for further biochemical analysis and biological activity testing. After each elution, the anti-TF antibody affinity column was then stripped using 6 column volumes 0.1M glycine, pH 2.5. The column was then neutralized using 10 column volumes PBS, 0.05% sodium azide and stored at 2-8 °C. Example 38: Size exclusion chromatography A GE Healthcare Superdex® 200 Increase 10/300 GL gel filtration column was connected to a GE Healthcare AKTA™ Avant protein purification system. The column was equilibrated with 2 column volumes of PBS. The flow rate was 0.7 mL/min. A capillary loop was used to inject 200µL of 1 mg/mL of 7t15-21scomplex onto the column. The injection was chased with 1.25 column volumes of PBS. Example 39: SDS-PAGE of 21t15-7s and 21t15-TGFRs To determine the purity and protein molecular weight, the purified 21t15-7s or 21t15-TGFRs protein sample were analyzed using 4-12% NuPage Bis-Tris protein gel SDS-PAGE. The gel will be stained with InstantBlue™ for about 30 min, followed by destaining overnight in purified water. Example 40: Glycosylation of 21t15-7s and 21t15-TGFRs in CHO-K1 cells Glycosylation of 21t15-7s in CHO-K1 cells or 21t15-TGFRs in CHO-K1 cells were confirmed using the Protein Deglycosylation Mix II kit (New England Biolabs), according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Example 41: Recombinant protein quantitation of 21t15-7s and 21t15-TGFRs complexes The 21t15-7s complex or the 21t15-TGFRs complex were detected and quantified using standard sandwich ELISA methods. Anti-human tissue factor antibody (IgG1) served as the capture antibody and biotinylated anti-human IL-21, IL-15, or IL-7 antibody (21t15-7s) or biotinylated anti-human IL-21, IL-15, or TGF-βRII antibody (21t15-TGFRs) served as the detection antibody. Tissue factor in purified 21t15-7s or 21t15-TGFRs protein complexes was detected using an anti-human tissue factor capture antibody, and anti-human tissue factor antibody (IgG1) detection antibody. The anti-TF antibody ELISA will be compared to purified tissue factor at similar concentrations. Example 42: Creation of an IL-21/IL-15RαSu DNA construct In a non-limiting example, an IL-21/IL-15RαSu DNA construct was created. The human IL-21 sequence and human IL-15R ^Su sequence were obtained from the UniProt website and DNA for these sequences was synthesized by Genewiz. A DNA construct was made linking the IL-21 sequence to the IL-15RαSu sequence. The final IL-21/IL- 15RαSu DNA construct sequence was synthesized by Genewiz. See Figure 69. Example 43: Creation of an IL-7/TF/IL-15 DNA construct In a non-limiting example, an IL-7/TF/IL-15 construct was made by linking the IL-7 sequence to the N-terminus coding region of tissue factor 219, and further linking the IL-7/TF construct with the N-terminus coding region of IL-15. See Figure 70. Example 44: Creation of an IL-21/IL-15Rα Sushi DNA construct In a non-limiting example, a second chimeric polypeptide of IL-21/IL-15RαSu was generated.

complex + anti-TF IgG1 antibody To assess the 7t15-21s complex’s ability to expand primary natural killer (NK) cells, 7t15-21s complex and 7t15-21s complex + anti-TF IgG1 antibody are added to NK cells obtained from samples of fresh human leukocytes. Cells are stimulated with 50nM of 7t15-21s complex with or without 25 nM of anti-TF IgG1 or anti-TF IgG4 antibody at 37 ^ and 5% CO2. Cells are maintained at concentration at 0.5 x 106/mL not exceeding 2.0 x 106/mL by counting every 48-72 hours and media is replenished with fresh stimulator. Cells stimulated with 7t15-21s complex or anti-TF IgG1 antibody or anti-TFIgG4 antibody or anti-TF IgG4 + 7t15-21s complex are maintained up to day 5. Expansion of primary NK cells upon incubation with 21t15-7s complex + anti-TF IgG1 antibody is observed. Example 48: Activation of expanded NK cells by the 7t15-21s complex + anti-TF IgG1 antibody Primary NK cells are induced ex vivo following overnight stimulation of purified NK cells with 7t15-21s complex + anti-TF IgG1 antibody. Fresh human leukocytes are obtained from a blood bank and CD56+ NK cells are isolated with the RosetteSep/human NK cell reagent (StemCell Technologies). The purity of NK cells is >80% and is confirmed by staining with CD56-BV421 and CD16-BV510 specific antibodies (BioLegend). Cells are counted and resuspended in 1 x 106/mL in a 24 well flat bottom plate in 1 mL of complete media (RPMI 1640 (Gibco), supplemented with 4 mM L- glutamine (Thermo Life Technologies), penicillin (Thermo Life Technologies), streptomycin (Thermo Life Technologies), non-essential amino acid (Thermo Life Technologies), sodium pyruvate (Thermo Life Technologies), and 10% FBS (Hyclone)). Cells are stimulated with 50 nM of 7t15-21s with or without 25 nM of anti-TF IgG1 antibody at 37 ^ and 5% CO2. Cells are counted every 48-72 hours and maintained at a concentration of 0.5 x 106/mL to 2.0 x 106/mL until day 14. Media is periodically replenished with fresh stimulator. Cells are harvested and surface stained at day 3 for CD56-BV421, CD16-BV510, CD25-PE, CD69-APCFire750 specific antibodies (Biolegend and analyzed by Flow Cytometry-Celeste-BD Bioscience). The activation marker CD25 MFI are observed to increase with 7t15-21s complex + anti-TF IgG1 antibody stimulation, but not 7t15-21s complex stimulation. The activation marker CD69 MFI is observed to increase with both 7t15-21s complex + anti-TF IgG1 antibody and with 7t15-21s complex, alone. Example 49: Increase in Glucose Metabolism in NK Cells Using 18t15-12s A set of experiments was performed to determine the effect of the construct of 18t15-12s on oxygen consumption rate and extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) on NK cells purified from human blood. In these experiments, fresh human leukocytes were obtained from the blood bank from two different human donors and NK cells were isolated via negative selection using the RosetteSep/human NK cell reagent (StemCell Technologies). The purity of NK cells was >80% and confirmed by staining with CD56-BV421 and CD16-BV510 specific antibodies (BioLegend). The cells were counted and resuspended in 2 x 106/mL in 24- well, flat-bottom plates in 1 mL of complete media (RPMI 1640 (Gibco) supplemented with 4 mM L-glutamine (Thermo Life Technologies), penicillin (Thermo Life Technologies), streptomycin (Thermo Life Technologies), non-essential amino acid (Thermo Life Technologies), sodium pyruvate (Thermo Life Technologies) and 10% FBS (Hyclone)). The cells were stimulated with either (1) media alone, (2) 100 nM 18t15-12s, or (3) mixture of single cytokines recombinant human IL-12 (0.25 ^g), recombinant human IL-15 (1.25 ^g), and recombinant human IL-18 (1.25 ^g) overnight at 37 °C, 5% CO2. On the next day, the cells were harvested and extracellular flux assays on expanded NK cells were performed using a XFp Analyzer (Seahorse Bioscience). The harvested cells washed and plated 2.0 x 105 cells/well in at least duplicate for extracellular flux analysis of OCR (Oxygen Consumption Rate) and ECAR (Extracellular Acidification Rate). The glycolysis stress tests were performed in Seahorse Media contain 2 mM of glutamine. The following were used during the assay: 10 mM glucose; 100 nM oligomycin; and 100 mM 2-deoxy-D-glycose (2DG). The data show that the 18t15-12s results in significantly increased oxygen consumption rate (Figure 73) and extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) as compared to the same cells activated with a combination of recombinant human IL-12, recombinant human IL-15, and recombinant human IL-18 (Figure 74). Example 50: 7t15-16s21 fusion protein generation and characterization A fusion protein complex was generated comprising of anti-CD16scFv/IL- 15RαSu/IL-21 and IL-7/TF/IL-15 fusion proteins. The human IL-7 and IL-21 sequences were obtained from the UniProt website and DNA for these sequences was synthesized by Genewiz.

The anti-CD16scFv/IL-15RαSu/IL-21 and IL-7/TF/IL-15 constructs were cloned into a modified retrovirus expression vectors as described previously (Hughes MS, Yu YY, Dudley ME, Zheng Z, Robbins PF, Li Y, et al. Transfer of a TCR gene derived from a patient with a marked antitumor response conveys highly active T-cell effector functions. Hum Gene Ther 2005;16:457–72), and the expression vectors were transfected into CHO-K1 cells. Co-expression of the two constructs in CHO-K1 cells allowed for formation and secretion of the soluble IL-7/TF/IL-15:anti-CD16scFv/IL-15RαSu/IL-21 protein complex (referred to as 7t15-16s21; Figure 75 and Figure 76), which can be purified by anti-TF IgG1 antibody-based affinity and other chromatography methods. Binding of 7t15-16s21 to CHO cells expressing human CD16b CHO cells were transfected with human CD16b in a pMC plasmid and selected with 10 µg/mL of blasticidin for 10 days. The CHO cells stably expressing CD16b were stained with 1.2 µg/mL of 7t15-16s21, containing anti-human CD16 scFv or 18t15-12s, which does not contain anti-human CD16 scFv, as a negative control, and then stained with biotinylated anti-human tissue factor and PE conjugated streptavidin. Only anti- human CD16scFv containing 7t15-16s21 stained the cells as shown in Figure 77A. 18t15-12s did not stain the CHO cells expressing human CD16b as showed in Figure 77B. Detection of IL-15, IL-21, and IL-7 in 7t15-16s21 using ELISA A 96-well plate was coated with 100 µL (8 µg/mL) of anti-TF IgG1 in R5 (coating buffer) and incubated at room temperature (RT) for 2 hrs. The plates were washed 3 times and blocked with 100 µL of 1% BSA in PBS. Serial dilution of 7t15- 16s21 (at a 1:3 ratio) were added to the wells, and incubated at RT for 60 min. Following 3 washes, 50 ng/mL of biotinylated-anti-IL-15 antibody (BAM247, R&D Systems), 500 ng/mL of biotinylated-anti-IL-21 antibody (13-7218-81, R&D Systems), or 500 ng/mL of biotinylated-anti-IL-7 antibody (506602, R&D Systems) was added to the wells and incubated at RT for 60 min. The plate was washed 3 times, and incubated with 0.25 µg/mL of HRP-SA (Jackson ImmunoResearch) at 100 µL per well for 30 min at RT, followed by 4 washes and incubation with 100 µl of ABTS for 2 mins at RT. Absorbance was read at 405 nm. As shown in Figures 78A-78C, the IL-15, IL-21, and IL-7 domains in 7t15-16s21 were detected by the individual antibodies. The IL-15 in 7t15-16s21 promotes IL-2Rβ and common γ chain containing 32Dβ cell proliferation To analyze the activity of IL-15 in 7t15-16s21, the IL-15 activity of 7t15-16s21 was compared to recombinant IL-15 using 32Dβ cells that express IL2Rβ and common γ chain, and evaluating their effects on promoting cell proliferation. IL-15 dependent 32Dβ cells were washed 5 times with IMDM-10% FBS and seeded in the wells at 2 x 104 cells/well. Serially-diluted 7t15-16s21 or IL-15 were added to the cells (Figure 79). Cells were incubated in a CO2 incubator at 37oC for 3 days. Cell proliferation was detected by adding 10 µl of WST1 to each well on day 3 and incubating for an additional 3 hours in a CO2 incubator at 37oC. The absorbance at 450 nm was measured by analyzing the amount of formazan dye produced. As shown in Figure 79, 7t15-16s21 and IL-15 promoted 32Dβ cell proliferation, with the EC50 of 7t15-16s21 and IL-15 being 172.2 pM and 16.63 pM, respectively. Purification elution chromatograph of 7t15-16s21 from anti-TF antibody affinity column 7t15-16s21 harvested from cell culture was loaded onto the anti-TF antibody affinity column equilibrated with 5 column volumes of PBS. The column was then washed with 5 column volumes of PBS, followed by elution with 6 column volumes of 0.1M acetic acid (pH 2.9). A280 elution peak was collected and neutralized to pH 7.5-8.0 with 1M Tris base. The neutralized sample was buffer exchanged into PBS using Amicon centrifugal filters with a 30 KDa molecular weight cutoff. Figure 80 is a line graph showing the chromatographic profile of 7t15-16s21 protein containing cell culture supernatant following binding and elution on anti-TF antibody resin. As shown in Figure 80, the anti-TF antibody affinity column bound 7t15-16s21 which contains TF. The buffer-exchanged protein sample was stored at 2-8 °C for further biochemical analyses and biological activity tests. After each elution, the anti-TF antibody affinity column was stripped using 6 column volumes of 0.1M glycine (pH 2.5). The column was then neutralized using 5 column volumes of PBS, and 7 column volumes of 20% ethanol for storage. The anti-TF antibody affinity column was connected to a GE Healthcare AKTA Avant system. The flow rate was 4 mL/min for all steps except for the elution step, which was 2 mL/min. Analytical size exclusion chromatography (SEC) analysis of 7t15-16s21 To perform size exclusion chromatography (SEC) analysis for 7t15-16s21, a Superdex 200 Increase 10/300 GL gel filtration column (GE Healthcare) connected to an AKTA Avant system (GE Healthcare) was used. The column was equilibrated with 2 column volumes of PBS. The flow rate was 0.7 mL/min. A sample containing 7t15-16s21 in PBS was injected into the Superdex 200 column using a capillary loop, and analyzed by SEC. As shown in Figure 81, the SEC results showed two protein peaks for 7t15- 16s21. Example 51: TGFRt15-16s21 fusion protein generation and characterization A fusion protein complex was generated comprising anti-human CD16scFv/IL- 15RαSu/IL21 and TGFβ Receptor II/TF/IL-15 fusion proteins (Figure 82 and 83). The human TGFβ Receptor II (Ile24-Asp159), tissue factor 219, and IL-15 sequences were obtained from the UniProt website and DNA for these sequences was synthesized by Genewiz. Specifically, a construct was made linking two TGFβ Receptor II sequences with a G4S(3) linker to generate a single chain version of TGFβ Receptor II and then directly linking to the N-terminus coding region of tissue factor 219 followed by the N- terminus coding region of IL-15. The nucleic acid and protein sequences of a construct comprising two TGFβ Receptor II linked to the N-terminus of tissue factor 219 following with the N-terminus of IL-15 are shown below.

The anti-CD16scFv/IL-15RαSu/IL-21 and TGFR/TF/IL-15 constructs were cloned into a modified retrovirus expression vectors as described previously (Hughes MS, Yu YY, Dudley ME, Zheng Z, Robbins PF, Li Y, et al. Transfer of a TCR gene derived from a patient with a marked antitumor response conveys highly active T-cell effector functions. Hum Gene Ther 2005;16:457–72), and the expression vectors were transfected into CHO-K1 cells. Co-expression of the two constructs in CHO-K1 cells allowed for formation and secretion of the soluble TGFR/TF/IL-15:CD16scFv/IL- 15RαSu/IL-21 protein complex (referred to as TGFRt15-16s21), which can be purified by anti-TF IgG1-based affinity and other chromatography methods. Interaction between TGFRt15-16s21 and CHO cells expressing human CD16b CHO cells were transfected with human CD16b in a pMC plasmid and selected with 10 µg/mL of blasticidin for10 days. Cells stably expressing CD16b were stained with 1.2 µg/mL of TGFRt15-16s21, containing anti-human CD16 scFv, or 7t15-21s, not containing anti-human CD16 scFv, as a negative control, and with biotinylated anti- human tissue factor antibody and PE conjugated streptavidin. As shown in Figures 84A and 84B, TGFRt15-16s21, which contains anti-human CD16scFv, showed positive binding, while 7t15-21s did not show binding. Effect of TGFRt15-16s21 on TGFβ1 activity in HEK-Blue TGFβ cells To evaluate the activity of TGFβRII in TGFRt15-16s21, the effect of TGFRt15- 16s21 on the activity of TGFβ1 in HEK-Blue TGFβ cells was analyzed. HEK-Blue TGFβ cells (Invivogen) were washed twice with pre-warmed PBS and resuspended in the testing medium (DMEM, 10% heat-inactivated FCS, 1x glutamine, 1x anti-anti, and 2x glutamine) at 5 x 105 cells/mL. In a flat-bottom 96-well plate, 50 µl cells were added to each well (2.5 x 104 cells/well) and followed with 50 µL 0.1nM TGFβ1 (R&D systems). TGFRt15-16s21 or TGFR-Fc (R&D Systems) prepared at a 1:3 serial dilution was then added to the plate to reach a total volume of 200 µL. After 24 hrs of incubation at 37°C, 40 µL of induced HEK-Blue TGFβ cell supernatant was added to 160 µL pre-warmed QUANTI-Blue (Invivogen) in a flat-bottom 96-well plate, and incubated at 37°C for 1-3 hrs. The OD values were then determined using a plate reader (Multiscan Sky) at 620-655 nM. The IC50 of each protein sample was calculated with GraphPad Prism 7.04. The IC50 of TGFRt15-16s21 and TGFR-Fc were 9127 pM and 460.6 pM respectively. These results showed that the TGFβRII domain in TGFRt15-16s21 was able to block the activity of TGFβ-1 in HEK-Blue TGFβ cells. The IL-15 in TGFRt15-16s21 promotes IL-2Rβ and common γ chain containing 32Dβ cell proliferation To analyze the activity of IL-15 in TGFRt15-16s21, the IL-15 activity of TGFRt15-16s21 was compared to recombinant IL-15 using 32Dβ cells that express IL2Rβ and common γ chain, and evaluating their effects on promoting cell proliferation. IL-15 dependent 32Dβ cells were washed 5 times with IMDM-10% FBS and seeded in the wells at 2 x 104 cells/well. Serially-diluted TGFRt15-16s21 or IL-15 were added to the cells (Figure 86). Cells were incubated in a CO2 incubator at 37oC for 3 days. Cell proliferation was detected by adding 10 µL of WST1 to each well on day 3 and incubating for an additional 3 hours in a CO2 incubator at 37oC. The absorbance at 450 nm was measured by analyzing the amount of formazan dye produced. The data are shown in Figure 85. As shown in Figure 86, TGFRt15-16s21 and IL-15 promoted 32Dβ cell proliferation, with the EC50 of TGFRt15-16s21 and IL-15 being 51298 pM and 10.63 pM, respectively. Detection of IL-15, IL-21, and TGFβRII in TGFRt15-16s21 using ELISA A 96-well plate was coated with 100 µL (8 µg/mL) of anti-TF IgG1 in R5 (coating buffer) and incubated at room temperature (RT) for 2 hrs. The plates were washed 3 times and blocked with 100 µL of 1% BSA in PBS. TGFRt15-16s21 serially diluted at a 1:3 ratio was added and incubated at RT for 60 min. Following three washes, 50 ng/mL of biotinylated-anti-IL-15 antibody (BAM247, R&D Systems), 500 ng/mL of biotinylated-anti-IL-21 antibody (13-7218-81, R&D Systems), or 200 ng/mL of biotinylated-anti-TGFβRII antibody (BAF241, R&D Systems) was applied per well, and incubated at RT for 60 min. Following three washes, incubation with 0.25 µg/mL of HRP-SA (Jackson ImmunoResearch at 100 µL per well for 30 min at RT was carried out, followed by 4 washes and incubation with 100 µL of ABTS for 2 mins at RT. Absorbance was read at 405 nm. As shown in Figures 87A-87C, the IL-15, IL-21, and TGFβRII domains in TGFRt15-16s21 were detected by the respective antibodies.

After sample loading, the column was washed with 5 column volumes of PBS, followed by elution with 6 column volumes of 0.1M acetic acid (pH 2.9). A280 elution peak was collected and then neutralized to pH 7.5-8.0 with 1M Tris base. The neutralized sample was then buffer exchanged into PBS using Amicon centrifugal filters with a 30 KDa molecular weight cutoff. As shown in Figure 88, the anti-TF antibody affinity column bound to TGFRt15- 16s21, which contains tissue factor as a fusion partner. The buffer-exchanged protein sample was stored at 2-8 °C for further biochemical analyses and biological activity tests. After each elution, the anti-TF antibody affinity column was stripped using 6 column volumes of 0.1M glycine (pH 2.5). The column was then neutralized using 5 column volumes of PBS, and 7 column volumes of 20% ethanol for storage. The anti-TF antibody affinity column was connected to a GE Healthcare AKTA Avant system. The flow rate was 4 mL/min for all steps except for the elution step, which was 2 mL/min. Reduced SDS-PAGE of TGFRt15-16s21 To determine the purity and molecular weight of the TGFRt15-16s21 protein, protein sample purified with anti-TF antibody affinity column was analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel (4-12% NuPage Bis-Tris gel) electrophoresis (SDS- PAGE) under reduced condition. After electrophoresis, the gel was stained with InstantBlue for about 30 min, followed by destaining overnight in purified water. To verify that the TGFRt15-16s21 protein undergoes glycosylation after translation in CHO cells, a deglycosylation experiment was conducted using the Protein Deglycosylation Mix II kit from New England Biolabs according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Figure 89 shows results from the reduced SDS-PAGE analysis of the sample in non-deglycosylated (lane 1 in red outline) and deglycosylated (lane 2 in yellow outline) state. The results showed that the TGFRt15-16s21 protein is glycosylated when expressed in CHO cells. After deglycosylation, the purified sample showed expected molecular weights (69 kDa and 48 kDa) in the reduced SDS gel. Lane M was loaded with 10µL of SeeBlue Plus2 Prestained Standard.

Transfer of a TCR gene derived from a patient with a marked antitumor response conveys highly active T-cell effector functions. Hum Gene Ther 2005;16:457–72), and the expression vectors were transfected into CHO-K1 cells. Co-expression of the two constructs in CHO-K1 cells allowed for formation and secretion of the soluble IL-7/TF/IL-15:IL-7/IL-15RαSu protein complex referred to as 7t15-7s, which can be purified by anti-TF antibody IgG1 affinity and other chromatography methods. Purification elution chromatograph of 7t15-7s using anti-TF antibody affinity column 7t15-7s harvested from cell culture was loaded onto the anti-TF antibody affinity column equilibrated with 5 column volumes of PBS.

The neutralized sample was then buffer exchanged into PBS using Amicon centrifugal filters with a 30 KDa molecular weight cutoff. As shown in Figure 92, the anti-TF antibody affinity column bound to 7t15-7s which contains tissue factor (TF) as a fusion partner.

The anti-TF antibody affinity column was connected to a GE Healthcare AKTA Avant system. The flow rate was 4 mL/min for all steps except the elution step, which was 2 mL/min. Immunostimulation of 7t15-7s in C57BL/6 mice 7t15-7s is a multi-chain polypeptide (a type A multi-chain polypeptide described herein) that includes the first polypeptide that is a soluble fusion of human IL-7, human tissue factor 219 fragment and human IL-15 (7t15), and the second polypeptide that is a soluble fusion of human IL-7 and sushi domain of human IL-15 receptor alpha chain (7s). CHO cells were co-transfected with the IL7-TF-IL-15 (7t15) and IL7-IL-15Ra sushi domain (7s) vectors. The 7t15-7s complex was purified from the transfected CHO cell culture supernatant. The IL-7, IL-15 and tissue factor (TF) components were demonstrated in the complex by ELISA as shown in Figure 93. A humanized anti-TF antibody monoclonal antibody (anti-TF IgG1) was used as the capture antibody to determine TF in 7t15-7s, and biotinylated anti-human IL-15 antibody (R&D systems) and biotinylated anti-human IL-7 antibody (R&D Systems) were used as the detection antibodies to respectively detect IL-15 and IL-7 in 7t15-7s, followed by peroxidase conjugated streptavidin (Jackson ImmunoResearch Lab) and ABTS substrate (Surmodics IVD, Inc.). 7t15-7s was subcutaneously injected into C57BL/6 mice at 10 mg/kg to determine the immunostimulatory activity of 7t15-7s in vivo. C57BL/6 mice subcutaneously treated with PBS were used as control. The mouse spleens were collected and weighed day 4 post treatment. Single splenocytes suspensions were prepared, and with fluorochrome-conjugated anti-CD4, anti-CD8, and anti–NK1.1 antibodies and the percentage of CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, and NK cells was analyzed by flow cytometry. The results showed that 7t15-7s was effective at expanding splenocytes based on spleen weight (Figure 94A) and specifically, the percentages of CD8+ T cells and NK cells were higher compared to control-treated mice (Figure 94B). Example 53: TGFRt15-TGFRs fusion protein generation and characterization A fusion protein complex was generated comprising of TGFβ Receptor II/IL- 15RαSu and TGFβ Receptor II/TF/IL-15 fusion proteins (Figure 95 and Figure 96). The human TGFβ Receptor II (Ile24-Asp159), tissue factor 219, and IL-15 sequences were obtained from the UniProt website and DNA for these sequences was synthesized by Genewiz. Specifically, a construct was made linking two TGFβ Receptor II sequences with a G4S(3) linker to generate a single chain version of TGFβ Receptor II and then directly linking to the N-terminus coding region of tissue factor 219 followed by the N- terminus coding region of IL-15.

The TGFβR/IL-15RαSu and TGFβR/TF/IL-15 constructs were cloned into a modified retrovirus expression vectors as described previously (Hughes MS, Yu YY, Dudley ME, Zheng Z, Robbins PF, Li Y, et al. Transfer of a TCR gene derived from a patient with a marked antitumor response conveys highly active T-cell effector functions. Hum Gene Ther 2005;16:457–72), and the expression vectors were transfected into CHO- K1 cells. Co-expression of the two constructs in CHO-K1 cells allowed for formation and secretion of the soluble TGFβR/TF/IL-15:TGFβR/IL-15RαSu protein complex (referred to as TGFRt15-TGFRs), which can be purified by anti-TF IgG1 affinity and other chromatography methods. Effect of TGFRt15-TGFRs on TGFβ1 activity in HEK-Blue TGFβ cells To evaluate the activity of TGFβRII in TGFRt15-TGFRs, the effect of TGFRt15- 16s21 on the activity of TGFβ1 in HEK-Blue TGFβ cells was analyzed. HEK-Blue TGFβ cells (Invivogen) were washed twice with pre-warmed PBS and resuspended in the testing medium (DMEM, 10% heat-inactivated FCS, 1x glutamine, 1x anti-anti, and 2x glutamine) at 5 x 105 cells/mL. In a flat-bottom 96-well plate, 50 µL cells were added to each well (2.5 x 104 cells/well) and followed with 50 µL 0.1nM TGFβ1 (R&D systems). TGFRt15-16s21 or TGFR-Fc (R&D Systems) prepared at a 1:3 serial dilution was then added to the plate to reach a total volume of 200 µL. After 24hrs of incubation at 37°C, 40 µL of induced HEK-Blue TGFβ cell supernatant was added to 160 µL pre-warmed QUANTI-Blue (Invivogen) in a flat-bottom 96-well plate, and incubated at 37°C for 1-3 hrs. The OD values were then determined using a plate reader (Multiscan Sky) at 620-655 nM (Figure 97). The IC50 of each protein sample was calculated with GraphPad Prism 7.04. The IC50 of TGFRt15-TGFRs and TGFR-Fc were 216.9 pM and 460.6 pM respectively. These results showed that the TGFβRII domain in TGFRt15-TGFRs was able to block the activity of TGFβ1 in HEK-Blue TGFβ cells. The IL-15 in TGFRt15-TGFRs promotes IL-2Rβ and common γ chain containing 32Dβ cell proliferation To evaluate the activity of IL-15 in TGFRt15-TGFRs, the IL-15 activity of TGFRt15-TGFRs was compared to recombinant IL-15 using 32Dβ cells that express IL2Rβ and common γ chain, and evaluating their effects on promoting cell proliferation. IL-15 dependent 32Dβ cells were washed 5 times with IMDM-10% FBS and seeded in the wells at 2 x 104 cells/well. Serially-diluted TGFRt15-TGFRs or IL-15 were added to the cells (Figure 98). Cells were incubated in a CO2 incubator at 37oC for 3 days. Cell proliferation was detected by adding 10 µL of WST1 to each well on day 3 and incubating for an additional 3 hours in a CO2 incubator at 37oC. The absorbance at 450 nm was measured by analyzing the amount of formazan dye produced. As shown in Figure 98, TGFRt15-TGFRs and IL-15 promoted 32Dβ cell proliferation, with the EC50 of TGFRt15-16s21 and IL-15 being 1901 pM and 10.63 pM, respectively. Detection of IL-15 and TGFβRII domains in TGFRt15-TGFRs with corresponding antibodies using ELISA A 96-well plate was coated with 100 µL (8 µg/mL) of anti-TF IgG1 in R5 (coating buffer) and incubated at room temperature (RT) for 2 hrs. The plates were washed 3 times and blocked with 100 µL of 1% BSA in PBS. TGFRt15-TGFRs was added at a 1:3 serial dilution, and incubated at RT for 60 min. After 3 washes, 50 ng/mL of biotinylated-anti-IL-15 antibody (BAM247, R&D Systems), or 200 ng/mL of biotinylated-anti-TGFbRII antibody (BAF241, R&D Systems) was added to the wells and incubated at RT for 60 min. Next the plates were washed 3 times, and 0.25 µg/mL of HRP-SA (Jackson ImmunoResearch) at 100 µL per well was added and incubated for 30 min at RT, followed by 4 washes and incubation with 100 µL of ABTS for 2 mins at RT. Absorbance at 405 nm was read. As shown in Figure 99A and 99B, the IL-15 and TGFβRII domains in TGFRt15-TGFRs were detected by the individual antibodies. Purification elution chromatograph of TGFRt15-TGFRs from anti-TF antibody affinity column TGFRt15-TGFRs harvested from cell culture was loaded onto the anti-TF antibody affinity column equilibrated with 5 column volumes of PBS. After sample loading, the column was washed with 5 column volumes of PBS, followed by elution with 6 column volumes of 0.1M acetic acid (pH 2.9). A280 elution peak was collected and then neutralized to pH 7.5-8.0 with 1M Tris base. The neutralized sample was then buffer exchanged into PBS using Amicon centrifugal filters with a 30 KDa molecular weight cutoff. As shown in Figure 100, the anti-TF antibody affinity column bound to TGFRt15-TGFRs which contains TF as a fusion partner. The buffer-exchanged protein sample was stored at 2-8 °C for further biochemical analyses and biological activity tests. After each elution, the anti-TF antibody affinity column was stripped using 6 column volumes of 0.1M glycine (pH 2.5). The column was then neutralized using 5 column volumes of PBS, and 7 column volumes of 20% ethanol for storage. The anti-TF antibody affinity column was connected to a GE Healthcare AKTA Avant system. The flow rate was 4 mL/min for all steps except for the elution step, which was 2 mL/min. Analytical size exclusion chromatography (SEC) analysis of TGFRt15-TGFRs A Superdex 200 Increase 10/300 GL gel filtration column (from GE Healthcare) was connected to an AKTA Avant system (from GE Healthcare). The column was equilibrated with 2 column volumes of PBS. The flow rate was 0.7 mL/min. A sample containing TGFRt15-TGFRs in PBS was injected into the Superdex 200 column using a capillary loop, and analyzed by SEC. The SEC chromatograph of the sample is shown in Figure 101. The SEC results showed four protein peaks for TGFRt15-TGFRs. Reduced SDS-PAGE analysis of TGFRt15-TGFRs To determine the purity and molecular weight of the TGFRt15-TGFRs protein, protein sample purified with anti-TF antibody affinity column was analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel (4-12% NuPage Bis-Tris gel) electrophoresis (SDS- PAGE) method under reduced condition. After electrophoresis, the gel was stained with InstantBlue for about 30 min, followed by destaining overnight in purified water. To verify that the TGFRt15-TGFRs protein undergoes glycosylation after translation in CHO cells, a deglycosylation experiment was conducted using the Protein Deglycosylation Mix II kit from New England Biolabs and the manufacturer’s instructions. Figure 102 shows the reduced SDS-PAGE analysis of the sample in non- deglycosylated (lane 1 in red outline) and deglycosylated (lane 2 in yellow outline) state. The results showed that the TGFRt15-TGFRs protein is glycosylated when expressed in CHO cells. After deglycosylation, the purified sample showed expected molecular weights (69 kDa and 39 kDa) in the reduced SDS gel. Lane M was loaded with 10 ul of SeeBlue Plus2 Prestained Standard. Immunostimulatory activity of TGFRt15-TGFRs in C57BL/6 mice TGFRt15-TGFRs is a multi-chain polypeptide (a type A multi-chain polypeptide described herein) that includes a first polypeptide that is a soluble fusion of two TGFβRII domains, human tissue factor 219 fragment and human IL-15, and the second polypeptide that is a soluble fusion of two TGFβRII domains and sushi domain of human IL-15 receptor alpha chain. Wild type C57BL/6 mice were treated subcutaneously with either control solution or with TGFRt15-TGFRs at a dosage of 0.3 mg/kg, 1 mg/kg, 3 mg/kg, or 10 mg/kg. Four days after treatment, spleen weight and the percentages of various immune cell types present in the spleen were evaluated. As shown in Figure 103A, the spleen weight in mice treated with TGFRt15-TGFRs increased with increasing dosage of TGFRt15- TGFRs. Moreover, the spleen weight in mice treated with 1 mg/kg, 3 mg/kg, and 10 mg/kg of TGFRt15-TGFRs were higher as compared to mice treated with the control solution, respectively. In addition, the percentages of CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, NK cells, and CD19+ B cells present in the spleen of control-treated and TGFRt15-TGFRs- treated mice were evaluated. As shown in Figure 103B, in the spleens of mice treated with TGFRt15-TGFRs, the percentages of CD8+ T cells and NK cells both increased with increasing dosage of TGFRt15-TGFRs. Specifically, the percentages of CD8+ T cells were higher in mice treated with 0.3 mg/kg, 3 mg/kg, and 10 mg/kg of TGFRt15-TGFRs compared to control-treated mice, and the percentages of NK cells were higher in mice treated with 0.3 mg/kg, 1 mg/kg, 3 mg/kg, and 10 mg/kg of TGFRt15-TGFRs compared to control-treated mice. These results demonstrate that TGFRt15-TGFRs is able to stimulate immune cells in the spleen, in particular CD8+ T cells and NK cells. The pharmacokinetics of TGFRt15-TGFRs molecules were evaluated in wild type C57BL/6 mice. The mice were treated subcutaneously with TGFRt15-TGFRs at a dosage of 3 mg/kg. The mouse blood was drained from tail vein at various time points and the serum was prepared. The TGFRt15-TGFRs concentrations in mouse serum was determined with ELISA (capture: anti-human tissue factor antibody; detection: biotinylated anti-human TGFβ receptor antibody and followed by peroxidase conjugated streptavidin and ABTS substrate). The results showed that the half-life of TGFRt15- TGFRs was 12.66 hours in C57BL/6 mice. The mouse splenocytes were prepared in order to evaluate the immunostimulatory activity of TGFRt15-TGFRs over time in mice. As shown in Figure 104A, the spleen weight in mice treated with TGFRt15-TGFRs increased 48 hours posttreatment and continued to increase over time. In addition, the percentages of CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, NK cells, and CD19+ B cells present in the spleen of control-treated and TGFRt15- TGFRs-treated mice were evaluated. As shown in Figure 104B, in the spleens of mice treated with TGFRt15-TGFRs, the percentages of CD8+ T cells and NK cells both increased at 48 hours after treatment and were higher and higher overtime after the single dose treatment. These results further demonstrate that TGFRt15-TGFRs is able to stimulate immune cells in the spleen, in particular CD8+ T cells and NK cells. Furthermore, the dynamic proliferation of immune cells based on Ki67 expression of splenocytes and cytotoxicity potential based on granzyme B expression were evaluated in splenocytes isolated from mice following a single dose (3 mg/kg) of TGFRt15-TGFRs. As shown in Figure 105A and 105B, in the spleens of mice treated with TGFRt15- TGFRs, the expression of Ki67 and granzyme B by NK cells increased at 24 hours after treatment and its expression of CD8+ T cells and NK cells both increased at 48 hours and later time points after the single dose treatment. These results demonstrate that TGFRt15-TGFRs not only increases the numbers of CD8+ T cells and NK cells but also enhance the cytotoxicity of these cells. The single dose treatment of TGFRt15-TGFRs led CD8+ T cells and NK cells to proliferate for at least 4 days. The cytotoxicity of the splenocytes from TGFRt15-TGFRs-treated mice against tumor cells was also evaluated. Mouse Moloney leukemia cells (Yac-1) were labeled with CellTrace Violet and were used as tumor target cells. Splenocytes were prepared from TGFRt15-TGFRs (3 mg/kg)-treated mouse spleens at various time points post treatment and were used as effector cells. The target cells were mixed with effector cells at an E:T ratio = 10:1 and incubated at 37°C for 20 hours. Target cell viability was assessed by analysis of propidium iodide positive, violet-labeled Yac-1 cells using flow cytometry. Percentage of Yac-1 tumor inhibition was calculated using the formula, (1- [viable Yac-1 cell number in experimental sample]/[viable Yac-1 cell number in the sample without splenocytes]) x 100. As shown in Figure 106, splenocytes from TGFRt15-TGFRs-treated mice had stronger cytotoxicity against Yac-1 cells than the control mouse splenocytes. Tumor size analysis in response to chemotherapy and/or TGFRt15-TGFRs Pancreatic cancer cells (SW1990, ATCC® CRL-2172) were subcutaneously (s.c.) injected into C57BL/6 scid mice (The Jackson Laboratory, 001913, 2x106 cells/mouse, in 100µL HBSS) to establish the pancreatic cancer mouse model. Two weeks after tumor cell injection, chemotherapy was initiated in these mice intraperitoneally with a combination of Abraxane (Celgene, 68817-134, 5 mg/kg, i.p.) and Gemcitabine (Sigma Aldrich, G6423, 40 mg/kg, i.p.), followed by immunotherapy with TGFRt15-TGFRs (3 mg/kg, s.c.) in 2 days. The procedure above was considered one treatment cycle and was repeated for another 3 cycles (1 cycle/week). Control groups were set up as the SW1990- injected mice that received PBS, chemotherapy (Gemcitabine and Abraxane), or TGFRt15-TGFRs alone. Along with the treatment cycles, tumor size of each animal was measured and recorded every other day, until the termination of the experiment 2 months after the SW1990 cells were injected. Measurement of the tumor volumes were analyzed by group and the results indicated that the animals receiving a combination of chemotherapy and TGFRt15-TGFRs had significantly smaller tumors comparing to the PBS group, whereas neither chemotherapy nor TGFRt15-TGFRs therapy alone work as sufficiently as the combination (Figure 107). In vitro senescent B16F10 melanoma model Next, in vitro killing of senescent B16F10 melanoma cells by activated mouse NK cells was evaluated. B16F10 senescence cells (B16F10-SNC) cells were labelled with CellTrace violet and incubated for 16 hrs with different E:T ratio of in vitro 2t2- activated mouse NK cells (isolated from spleen of C57BL/6 mice injected with TGFRt15-TGFRs10 mg/kg for 4 days). The cells were trypsinized, washed and resuspended in complete media containing propidium iodide (PI) solution. The cytotoxicity was assessed by flow cytometry (Figure 108).

The IL-21/IL-15RαSu/CD137L and IL-7/TF/IL-15 constructs were cloned into a modified retrovirus expression vectors as described previously (Hughes MS, Yu YY, Dudley ME, Zheng Z, Robbins PF, Li Y, et al. Transfer of a TCR gene derived from a patient with a marked antitumor response conveys highly active T-cell effector functions. Hum Gene Ther 2005;16:457–72), and the expression vectors were transfected into CHO- K1 cells. Co-expression of the two constructs in CHO-K1 cells allowed for formation and secretion of the soluble IL-7/TF/IL-15: IL-21/IL-15RαSu/CD137L protein complex (referred to as 7t15-21s137L), which can be purified by anti-TF antibody IgG1 affinity and other chromatography methods. Purification elution chromatograph of 7t15-21s137L using anti-TF antibody affinity column 7t15-21s137L harvested from cell culture was loaded onto the anti-TF antibody affinity column equilibrated with 5 column volumes of PBS. After sample loading, the column was washed with 5 column volumes of PBS, followed by elution with 6 column volumes of 0.1M acetic acid (pH 2.9). A280 elution peak was collected and then neutralized to pH 7.5-8.0 with 1M Tris base. The neutralized sample was then buffer exchanged into PBS using Amicon centrifugal filters with a 30 KDa molecular weight cutoff. As shown in Figure 111, the anti-TF antibody affinity column bound to 7t15- 21s137L which contains TF as a fusion partner. The buffer-exchanged protein sample was stored at 2-8 °C for further biochemical analyses and biological activity tests. After each elution, the anti-TF antibody affinity column was stripped using 6 column volumes of 0.1M glycine (pH 2.5). The column was then neutralized using 5 column volumes of PBS, and 7 column volumes of 20% ethanol for storage. The anti-TF antibody affinity column was connected to a GE Healthcare AKTA Avant system. The flow rate was 4 mL/min for all steps except for the elution step, which was 2 mL/min. Figure 112 shows the analytical SEC profile of 7t15-21s137L.

Binding of 7t15-21s137L (short version) to CD137 (4.1BB) On day 1, a 96-well plate was coated with 100 µL (2.5 µg/mL) of GAH IgG Fc (G-102-C, R&D Systems) in R5 (coating buffer) or R5 only and incubated at 4oC, overnight. On day 2, the plates were washed three times and blocked with 300 µL of 1% BSA in PBS at 37oC for 2 hrs. 10 ng/mL of 4.1BB/Fc (838-4B, R&D Systems) was added at 100 µL/well and incubated for 2 hrs at RT. After three washes, the 7t15- 21s137L or 7t15-21s serially diluted at a 1/3 ratio (starting at 10 nM), and incubated at 4oC overnight. On day 3, following 3 washes, 300 ng/mL of biotinylated-anti-hTF antibody (BAF2339, R&D Systems) was added at 100 µL per well and incubated at RT for 2 hrs. The plate was then washed three times and incubated with 0.25 µg/mL of HRP- SA (Jackson ImmuneResearch) at 100 µL per well for 30 min, followed by 3 washes and incubation with 100 µL of ABTS for 2 mins at RT. Absorbance was read at 405 nm. As shown in Figure 113, 7t15-21s137L (short version) showed significant interaction with 4.1BB/Fc (blue line) as compared to 7t15-21s. Detection of IL-15, IL-21, and IL-7 in 7t15-21s137L (short version) with ELISA A 96-well plate was coated with 100 µL (8 µg/mL) of anti-TF antibody IgG1 in R5 (coating buffer) and incubated at RT for 2 hrs. The plates were washed 3 times and blocked with 100 µL of 1% BSA in PBS. 7t15-21s137L (short version), serially diluted at a 1:3 ratio was added, and incubated at RT for 60 min. After three washes, 50 ng/mL of biotinylated-anti-IL-15 antibody (BAM247, R&D Systems), 500 ng/mL of biotinylated-anti-IL21 antibody (13-7218-81, R&D Systems), or 500 ng/mL of biotinylated-anti-IL7 antibody (506602, R&D Systems) was added to the wells and incubated at RT for 60 min. After three washes and incubation with 0.25 µg/mL of HRP- SA (Jackson ImmunoResearch) at 100 µL per well was carried out for 30 min at RT, followed by four washes and incubation with 100 µL of ABTS for 2 mins at RT. Absorbance was read at 405 nm. As shown in Figures 114A-114C, the IL-15, IL-21, and IL-7 domains in 7t15-21s137L (short version) were detected by the respective antibodies. The IL-15 in 7t15-1s137L (short version) promotes IL2Rαβγ containing CTLL2 cell proliferation To evaluate the IL-15 activity of 7t15-21s137L (short version), 7t15-21s137L (short version) was compared with recombinant IL-15 in promoting proliferation of IL2Rαβγ expressing CTLL2 cells. IL-15-dependent CTLL2 cells were washed 5 times with IMDM-10% FBS and seeded to the wells at 2 x 104 cells/well. Serially diluted 7t15- 21s137L (short version) or IL-15 were added to the cells (Figure 115). Cells were incubated in a CO2 incubator at 37oC for 3 days. Cell proliferation was detected by adding 10 µL of WST1 to each well on day 3 and incubated for an additional 3 hours in a CO2 incubator at 37oC. The amount of formazan dye produced was analyzed by measuring the absorbance at 450 nm. As shown in Figure 115, 7t15-21s137L (short version) and IL-15 promoted CTLL2 cell proliferation. The EC50 of 7t15-21s137L (short version) and IL-15 was 55.91 pM and 6.22 pM. respectively. The IL-21 in 7t15-1s137L (short version) promotes IL21R containing B9 cell proliferation To evaluate the IL-21 activity of 7t15-21s137L (short version), 7t15-21s137L (short version) was compared with recombinant IL-21 in promoting proliferation of IL- 21R expressing B9 cells. IL-21R containing B9 cells were washed 5 times with RPMI- 10% FBS and seeded to the wells at 1 x 104 cells/well. Serially diluted 7t15-21s137L (short version) or IL-21 were added to the cells (Figure 116). Cells were incubated in a CO2 incubator at 37oC for 5 days. Cell proliferation was detected by adding 10 µL of WST1 to each well on day 5 and incubated for an additional 4 hours in a CO2 incubator at 37oC. The amount of formazan dye produced was analyzed by measuring the absorbance at 450 nm. As shown in Figure 116, 7t15-21s137L (short version) and IL-21 promoted B9 cell proliferation. The EC50 of 7t15-21s137L (short version) and IL-21 was 104.1 nM and 72.55 nM. respectively. Example 56: 7t15-TGFRs fusion protein generation and characterization A fusion protein complex was generated comprising of TGF ^ Receptor II/IL- 15RαSu and IL-7/TF/IL-15 fusion proteins (Figure 117 and Figure 118). The human TGF ^ Receptor II (Ile24-Asp159), tissue factor 219, IL-15, and IL-7 sequences were obtained from the UniProt website and DNA for these sequences was synthesized by Genewiz.

HEK-Blue TGFβ cells (Invivogen) were washed twice with pre-warmed PBS and resuspended in the testing medium (DMEM, 10% heat-inactivated FCS, 1x glutamine, 1x anti-anti, and 2x glutamine) at 5 x 105 cells/mL. In a flat-bottom 96-well plate, 50 µL cells were added to each well (2.5 x 104 cells/well) and followed with 50 µL 0.1nM TGFβ1 (R&D systems). 7t15-TGFRs or TGFR-Fc (R&D Systems) prepared at a1:3 serial dilution was then added to the plate to reach a total volume of 200 µL. After 24hrs of incubation at 37°C, 40 µL of induced HEK-Blue TGFβ cell supernatant was added to 160 µL pre-warmed QUANTI-Blue (Invivogen) in a flat-bottom 96-well plate, and incubated at 37°C for 1-3 hrs. The OD values were then determined using a plate reader (Multiscan Sky) at 620-655 nM. The data are shown in Figure 119. The IC50 of each protein sample was calculated with GraphPad Prism 7.04. The IC50 of 7t15-TGFRs and TGFR-Fc were 1142 pM and 558.6 pM respectively. These results showed that the TGFβR in 7t15-TGFRs was able to block the activity of TGFβ1 in HEK-Blue TGFβ cells. Detection of IL-15, TGFβRII, and IL-7 in 7t15-TGFRs with ELISA A 96-well plate was coated with 100 µL (8 µg/mL) of anti-TF antibody IgG1 in R5 (coating buffer) and incubated at room temperature (RT) for 2 hrs. The plates were washed three times and blocked with 100 µL of 1% BSA in PBS. Serial dilution of 7t15- TGFRs (1:3 ratio) was added, and incubated at RT for 60 mins. After 3 washes, 50 ng/mL of biotinylated-anti-IL-15 antibody (BAM247, R&D Systems), 200 ng/mL of biotinylated-anti-TGFbRII antibody (BAF241, R&D Systems), or 500 ng/mL of biotinylated-anti-IL-7 antibody (506602, R&D Systems) was added and incubated at RT for 60 min. Following three washes, incubation with 0.25 µg/mL of HRP-SA (Jackson ImmunoResearch) at 100 µL per well was carried out for 30 min at RT, followed by 4 washes and incubation with 100 µL of ABTS for 2 mins at RT. Absorbance was read at 405 nm. As shown in Figures 120A-120C, the IL-15, TGFR, and IL-7 in 7t15-TGFRs were detected by the respective antibodies. The IL-15 in 7t15-TGFRs promotes IL-2Rβ and common γ chain containing 32Dβ cell proliferation To evaluate the activity of IL-15 in 7t15-TGFRs, 7t15-TGFRs was compared to recombinant IL-15 using 32Dβ cells that express IL2Rβ and common γ chain, and evaluating their effects on promoting cell proliferation. IL-15 dependent 32Dβ cells were washed 5 times with IMDM-10% FBS and seeded in the wells at 2 x 104 cells/well. Serially-diluted 7t15-TGFRs or IL-15 were added to the cells (Figure 121). Cells were incubated in a CO2 incubator at 37oC for 3 days. Cell proliferation was detected by adding 10 µL of WST1 to each well on day 3 and incubating for an additional 3 hours in a CO2 incubator at 37oC. The amount of formazan dye produced was analyzed by measuring the absorbance at 450 nm. As shown in Figure 121, 7t15-TGFRs and IL-15 promoted 32Dβ cell proliferation, with the EC50 of 7t15-TGFRs and IL-15 being 126 nM and 16.63 pM, respectively. Purification elution chromatograph of 7t15-TGFRs using anti-TF antibody affinity column 7t15-TGFRs harvested from cell culture was loaded onto the anti-TF antibody affinity column equilibrated with 5 column volumes of PBS. After sample loading, the column was washed with 5 column volumes of PBS, followed by elution with 6 column volumes of 0.1M acetic acid (pH 2.9). A280 elution peak was collected and then neutralized to pH 7.5-8.0 with 1M Tris base. The neutralized sample was then buffer exchanged into PBS using Amicon centrifugal filters with a 30 KDa molecular weight cutoff. As shown in Figure 122, the anti-TF antibody affinity column can bind 7t15- TGFRs which contains TF as a fusion partner of 7t15-TGFRs. The buffer-exchanged protein sample was stored at 2-8 °C for further biochemical analyses and biological activity tests. After each elution, the anti-TF antibody affinity column was stripped using 6 column volumes of 0.1M glycine (pH 2.5). The column was then neutralized using 5 column volumes of PBS, and 7 column volumes of 20% ethanol for storage. The anti-TF antibody affinity column was connected to a GE Healthcare AKTA Avant system. The flow rate was 4 mL/min for all steps except for the elution step, which was 2 mL/min. Reduced SDS-PAGE analysis of 7t15-TGFRs To determine the purity and molecular weight of the protein, 7t15-TGFRs protein sample purified with anti-TF antibody affinity column was analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel (4-12% NuPage Bis-Tris gel) electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) method under reduced condition. After electrophoresis, the gel was stained with InstantBlue for about 30 min, followed by destaining overnight in purified water. To verify that the 7t15-TGFRs protein undergoes glycosylation after translation in CHO cells, a deglycosylation experiment was conducted using the Protein Deglycosylation Mix II kit from New England Biolabs and the manufacturer’s instructions. Figure 123 shows reduced SDS-PAGE analysis of the sample in non- deglycosylated (lane 1 in red outline) and deglycosylated (lane 2 in yellow outline) state. These results showed that the protein is glycosylated when it is expressed in CHO cells. After deglycosylation, the purified sample showed expected molecular weights (55 kDa and 39 kDa) in reduced SDS gel. Lane M was loaded with 10 ul of SeeBlue Plus2 Prestained Standard. Characterization of 7t15-TGFRs 7t15-TGFRs is a multi-chain polypeptide (a type A multi-chain polypeptide described herein) that includes the first polypeptide that is a soluble fusion of human IL-7, human tissue factor 219 fragment and human IL-15 (7t15), and the second polypeptide that is a soluble fusion of single chain two TGFβRII domains and sushi domain of human IL- 15 receptor alpha chain (TGFRs). CHO cells were co-transfected with 7t15 and TGFRs vectors. The 7t15-TGFRs complex was purified from the transfected CHO cell culture supernatant. The IL-7, IL- 15, TGFβ receptor and tissue factor (TF) components were demonstrated in the complex by ELISA as shown in Figure 124. A humanized anti-TF antibody monoclonal antibody (anti-TF antibody IgG1) was used as the capture antibody to determine TF in 7t15- TGFRs, and biotinylated antibodies against human IL-15 (R&D systems), human IL-7 (Biolegend), anti-TGFβ receptor (R&D Systems) were used as the detection antibodies to respectively determine IL-7, IL-15 and TGFβ receptor in 7t15-TGFRs. Peroxidase conjugated streptavidin (Jackson ImmunoResearch Lab) and ABTS substrate (Surmodics IVD, Inc.) were then used to detect the bound biotinylated antibodies. The results were analyzed by ELISA (Figure 124). In vivo characterization of 7t15-TGFRs in C57BL/6 mice To determine the immunostimulatory activity of 7t15-TGFRs in vivo, C57BL/6 mice were subcutaneously treated with control solution (PBS) or 7t15-TGFRs at 0.3, 1, 3 and 10 mg/kg. The treated mice were euthanized. The mouse spleens were collected and weighed day 4 post treatment. Single splenocyte suspensions were prepared and stained with fluorochrome-conjugated anti-CD4, anti-CD8, and anti–NK1.1 antibodies and the percentage of CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, and NK cells was analyzed by flow cytometry. The results showed that 7t15-TGFRs was effective at expanding splenocytes based on spleen weight (Figure 125A), especially at 1-10 mg/kg. The percentages of CD8+ T cells and NK cells were higher compared to control-treated mice (Figure 125B) at all doses tested. CD44 Expression of CD4 + and CD8 + T cells It has been known that IL-15 induces CD44 expression on T cells and development of memory T cells. CD44 expression of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in the 7t15-TGFRs treated mice were assessed. C57BL/6 mice were subcutaneously treated with 7t15-TGFRs. The splenocytes were stained with fluorochrome-conjugated anti- CD4, anti-CD8 and anti-CD44 monoclonal antibodies for immunocyte subsets. The percentages of CD4+CD44high T cells of total CD4+ T cells and CD8+CD44high T cells of total CD8+ T cells were analyzed by flow cytometry. As shown in Figures 126A and 126B, 7t15-TGFRs significantly activated CD4+ and CD8+ T cells to differentiate into memory T cells. Furthermore, the dynamic proliferation of immune cells based on Ki67 expression of splenocytes and cytotoxicity potential based on granzyme B expression of the splenocytes induced by 7t15-TGFRs after the single dose treatment of mouse were also evaluated. C57BL/6 mice were subcutaneously treated with 7t15-TGFRs at 3 mg/kg. The treated mice were euthanized and the splenocytes were prepared. The prepared splenocytes were stained with fluorochrome-conjugated anti-CD4, anti-CD8, and anti– NK1.1 (NK) antibodies for immunocyte subsets and then intracellularly stained with anti- Ki67 antibody for cell proliferation and anti-granzyme B antibody for cytotoxic marker. The mean fluorescent intensity (MFI) of Ki67 and granzyme B of corresponding immunocyte subsets was analyzed by flow cytometry. As shown in Figures 127A and 127B, in the spleens of mice treated with 7t15-TGFRs, the expression of Ki67 and granzyme B by CD8+ T cells and NK cells increased compared with PBS control treatment. These results demonstrate that 7t15-TGFRs is not only to increase numbers of CD8+ T cells and NK cells but also enhance potential cytotoxicity of these cells. Additionally, cytotoxicity of the mouse splenocytes against tumor cells was also evaluated. Mouse Yac-1 cells were labeled with CellTrace Violet and used as tumor target cells. The splenocytes were prepared from 7t15-TGFRs-treated mice and used as effector cells. The target cells were mixed with effector cells at E:T ratio = 10:1 in RPMI-10 medium with or without 7t15-TGFRs at 100 nM and incubated at 37°C for 20 hours. Target Yac-1 cell inhibition was assessed by analysis of viable violet-labeled Yac-1 cells using flow cytometry. Percentage of Yac-1 inhibition was calculated using a formula, (1-viable Yac-1 cell number in experimental sample/viable Yac-1 cell number in the sample without splenocytes) x 100. As shown in Figure 128, 7t15-TGFRs-treated mouse splenocytes had stronger cytotoxicity against Yac-1 cells than the control mouse splenocytes and addition of 7t15-TGFRs during cytotoxic assay further enhanced cytotoxicity of splenocytes against Yac-1 target cells. Example 57: TGFRt15-21s137L fusion protein generation and characterization A fusion protein complex was generated comprising IL-21/IL-15RαSu/CD137L and TGFβ Receptor II/TF/IL-15 fusion proteins (Figure 129 and Figure 130). The human TGFβ Receptor II (Ile24-Asp159), tissue factor 219, and IL-15 sequences were obtained from the UniProt website and DNA for these sequences was synthesized by Genewiz. Specifically, a construct was made linking two TGFβ Receptor II sequences with a G4S(3) linker to generate a single chain version of TGFβ Receptor II and then directly linking to the N-terminus coding region of tissue factor 219 followed by the N-terminus coding region of IL-15.

The IL-21/IL-15RαSu/CD137L and TGFR/TF/IL-15 constructs were cloned into a modified retrovirus expression vectors as described previously (Hughes MS, Yu YY, Dudley ME, Zheng Z, Robbins PF, Li Y, et al. Transfer of a TCR gene derived from a patient with a marked antitumor response conveys highly active T-cell effector functions. Hum Gene Ther 2005;16:457–72), and the expression vectors were transfected into CHO- K1 cells. Co-expression of the two constructs in CHO-K1 cells allowed for formation and secretion of the soluble TGFR/TF/IL-15: IL-21/IL-15RαSu/CD137L protein complex (referred to as TGFRt15-21s137L), which can be purified by anti-TF antibody IgG1 affinity and other chromatography methods. Purification elution chromatograph of TGFRt15-21s137L using anti-TF antibody affinity column TGFRt15-21s137L harvest from cell culture was loaded onto the anti-TF antibody affinity column equilibrated with 5 column volumes of PBS. After sample loading, the column was washed with 5 column volumes of PBS, followed by elution with 6 column volumes of 0.1M acetic acid (pH 2.9). A280 elution peak was collected and then neutralized to pH 7.5-8.0 with 1M Tris base. The neutralized sample was then buffer exchanged into PBS using Amicon centrifugal filters with a 30 KDa molecular weight cutoff. As shown in Figure 131, the anti-TF antibody affinity column bound to TGFRt15- 21s137L which contains TF as a fusion partner of TGFRt15-21s137L. The buffer- exchanged protein sample was stored at 2-8 °C for further biochemical analyses and biological activity tests. After each elution, the anti-TF antibody affinity column was stripped using 6 column volumes of 0.1M glycine (pH 2.5). The column was then neutralized using 5 column volumes of PBS, and 7 column volumes of 20% ethanol for storage. The anti-TF antibody affinity column was connected to a GE Healthcare AKTA Avant system. The flow rate was 4 mL/min for all steps except for the elution step, which was 2 mL/min. Example 58: TGFRt15-TGFRs21 fusion protein generation and characterization A fusion protein complex was generated comprising of TGF ^ Receptor II/IL- 15RαSu/IL-21 and TGF ^ Receptor II/TF/IL-15 fusion proteins (Figure 132 and Figure 133). The human TGF ^ Receptor II (Ile24-Asp159), tissue factor 219, IL-21, and IL-15 sequences were obtained from the UniProt website and DNA for these sequences was synthesized by Genewiz. Specifically, a construct was made linking two TGF ^ Receptor II sequences with a G4S(3) linker to generate a single chain version of TGF ^ Receptor II and then directly linking to the N-terminus coding region of tissue factor 219 followed by the N-terminus coding region of IL-15. The nucleic acid and protein sequences of a construct comprising two TGF ^ Receptor II linked to the N-terminus of tissue factor 219 following with the N-terminus of IL-15 are shown below.

The TGFR/IL-15RαSu/IL-21 and TGFR/TF/IL-15 constructs were cloned into a modified retrovirus expression vectors as described previously (Hughes MS, Yu YY, Dudley ME, Zheng Z, Robbins PF, Li Y, et al. Transfer of a TCR gene derived from a patient with a marked antitumor response conveys highly active T-cell effector functions. Hum Gene Ther 2005;16:457–72), and the expression vectors were transfected into CHO- K1 cells. Co-expression of the two constructs in CHO-K1 cells allowed for formation and secretion of the soluble TGFR/TF/IL-15:TGFR/IL-15RαSu/IL-21 protein complex (referred to as TGFRt15-TGFRs21), which can be purified by anti-TF antibody IgG1 affinity and other chromatography methods. Purification elution chromatograph of TGFRt15-TGFRs21 using anti-TF antibody affinity column TGFRt15-TGFRs21 harvested from cell culture was loaded onto the anti-TF antibody affinity column equilibrated with 5 column volumes of PBS. After sample loading, the column was washed with 5 column volumes of PBS, followed by elution with 6 column volumes of 0.1M acetic acid (pH 2.9). A280 elution peak was collected and then neutralized to pH 7.5-8.0 with 1M Tris base. The neutralized sample was then buffer exchanged into PBS using Amicon centrifugal filters with a 30 KDa molecular weight cutoff. As shown in Figure 134, the anti-TF antibody affinity column bound to TGFRt15-TGFRs21 which contains TF as a fusion partner. The buffer-exchanged protein sample was stored at 2-8 °C for further biochemical analyses and biological activity tests. After each elution, the anti-TF antibody affinity column was stripped using 6 column volumes of 0.1M glycine (pH 2.5). The column was then neutralized using 5 column volumes of PBS, and 7 column volumes of 20% ethanol for storage. The anti-TF antibody affinity column was connected to a GE Healthcare AKTA Avant system. The flow rate was 4 mL/min for all steps except for the elution step, which was 2 mL/min. Reduced SDS-PAGE analysis of TGFRt15-TGFRs21 To determine the purity and molecular weight of the protein, TGFRt15-TGFRs21 protein sample purified with anti-TF antibody affinity column was analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel (4-12% NuPage Bis-Tris gel) electrophoresis (SDS- PAGE) method under reduced condition. After electrophoresis, the gel was stained with InstantBlue for about 30 min, followed by destaining overnight in purified water. To verify that the TGFRt15-TGFRs21 protein undergoes glycosylation after translation in CHO cells, a deglycosylation experiment was conducted using the Protein Deglycosylation Mix II kit from New England Biolabs and the manufacturer’s instructions. Figure 135 shows the reduced SDS-PAGE analysis of the sample in non- deglycosylated (lane 1 in red outline) and deglycosylated (lane 2 in yellow outline) state. It is clear that the protein is glycosylated when it is expressed in CHO cells. After deglycosylation, the purified sample showed expected molecular weights (69 kDa and 55 kDa) in reduced SDS gel. Lane M was loaded with 10 ul of SeeBlue Plus2 Prestained Standard. Immunostimulation of TGFRt15-TGFRs21 in C57BL/6 mice TGFRt15-TGFRs21 is a multi-chain polypeptide (a type A multi-chain polypeptide described herein) that includes the first polypeptide that is a soluble fusion of single chain two TGFβRII domains, human tissue factor 219 fragment and human IL-15 (TGFRt15), and the second polypeptide that is a soluble fusion of single chain two TGFβRII domains, sushi domain of human IL-15 receptor alpha chain and human IL-21 (TGFRs21). CHO cells were co-transfected with TGFRt15 and TGFRs21 vectors. The TGFRt15-TGFRs21 complex was purified from the transfected CHO cell culture supernatant. The TGFβ receptor, IL-15, IL-21 and tissue factor (TF) components were demonstrated in the complex by ELISA as shown in Figure 136. A humanized anti-TF monoclonal antibody (anti-TF IgG1) was used as the capture antibody to determine TF in TGFRt15-TGFRs21, biotinylated anti-human IL-15 antibody (R&D systems), biotinylated anti-human TGFβ receptor antibody (R&D systems, and biotinylated anti- human IL-21 antibody (R&D Systems) were used as the detection antibodies to respectively determine IL-15, TGFβ receptor, and IL-21 in TGFRt15-TGFRs21. For detection, peroxidase conjugated streptavidin (Jackson ImmunoResearch Lab) and ABTS were used. Wild type C57BL/6 mice were treated subcutaneously with either control solution (PBS) or with TGFRt15-TGFRs21 at 3 mg/kg. Four days after treatment, spleen weight and the percentages of various immune cell types present in the spleen were evaluated. As shown in Figure 137A, the percentages of CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, and NK cells present in the spleen of control-treated and TGFRt15-TGFRs21-treated mice were evaluated. The dynamic proliferation of immune cells based on Ki67 expression after TGFRt15-TGFRs21 treatment was also evaluated. The splenocytes were stained with fluorochrome-conjugated anti-CD4, anti-CD8, and anti–NK1.1 (NK) antibodies and then intracellularly stained with anti-Ki67 antibody. The percentage of CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, and NK cells and the mean fluorescent intensity (MFI) of Ki67 of corresponding immunocyte subsets were analyzed by flow cytometry (Figures 137A and 137B). Furthermore, cytotoxicity potential based on granzyme B expression of the splenocytes induced by TGFRt15-TGFRs21 after the single dose treatment of mouse was also evaluated. As shown in Figure 138, in the spleens of mice treated with TGFRt15- TGFRs21, the expression of granzyme B by NK cells increased after treatment. The splenocytes from TGFRt15-TGFRs21-treated mice were stained with fluorochrome- conjugated anti-CD4, anti-CD8, and anti–NK1.1 (NK) antibodies and then intracellularly stained with anti-granzyme B antibody. The mean fluorescent intensity (MFI) of granzyme B of corresponding immunocyte subsets was analyzed by flow cytometry (Figure 138). As shown in Figure 137A, in the spleens of mice treated with TGFRt15- TGFRs21, the percentages of CD8+ T cells and NK cells both increased on day 4 after a single TGFRt15-TGFRs21 treatment. These results demonstrate that TGFRt15- TGFRs21 is able to induce immune cells to proliferate in mouse spleen, in particular CD8+ T cells and NK cells. Additionally, cytotoxicity of the mouse splenocytes against tumor cells was also evaluated. Mouse Yac-1 cells were labeled with CellTrace Violet and used as tumor target cells. The splenocytes were prepared from TGFRt15-TGFRs21-treated mice and used as effector cells. The target cells were mixed with effector cells at E:T ratio = 10:1 in RPMI-10 medium with or without TGFRt15-TGFRs21 at 100 nM and incubated at 37°C for 24 hours. Target Yac-1 cell inhibition was assessed by analysis of viable violet- labeled Yac-1 cells using flow cytometry. Percentage of Yac-1 inhibition was calculated using a formula, (1-[viable Yac-1 cell number in experimental sample]/[viable Yac-1 cell number in the sample without splenocytes]) x 100. As shown in Figure 139, TGFRt15- TGFRs21-treated mouse splenocytes had stronger cytotoxicity against Yac-1 cells than the control mouse cells in the presence of TGFRt15-TGFRs21 during cytotoxic assay (Figure 139). Example 59: TGFRt15-TGFRs16 fusion protein generation A fusion protein complex was generated comprising of TGF ^ Receptor II/IL- 15RαSu/ anti-CD16scFv and TGF ^ Receptor II/TF/IL-15 fusion proteins (Figure 140 and Figure 141).

IL-2 and 2t2 promoted IL-2R ^ and common ^ chain containing 32D ^ cell proliferation in a similar manner To evaluate the IL-2 activity of 2t2, 2t2 was compared with recombinant IL-2 for promoting proliferation of 32D ^ cells that express IL-2R ^ and common ^ chain. IL-2 dependent 32D ^ cells were washed 5 times with IMDM-10% FBS and seeded to the wells at 2 x 104 cells/well. Serial dilutions of 2t2 or IL-2 were added to the cells (Figure 145). Cells were incubated in a CO2 incubator at 37oC for 3 days. Cell proliferation was detected by adding 10 ^l of WST1 to each well on day 3 and incubating for an additional 3 hours in a CO2 incubator at 37oC. The amount of formazan dye produced was analyzed by measuring the absorbance at 450 nm. As shown in Figure 145, 2t2 and IL-2 activated 32D ^ cells in a similar manner. The EC50 of 2t2 and IL-2 was 158.1 pM and 140 pM. respectively. 2t2 showed improved ability to promote IL-2R ^ ^ ^ containing CTLL-2 cell proliferation as compared to IL-2 To evaluate the IL-2 activity of 2t2, 2t2 was compared with recombinant IL-2 for promoting proliferation of CTLL-2 cells that express IL-2R ^, IL-2R ^ and common ^ chain. IL-2 dependent CTLL-2 cells were washed 5 times with IMDM-10% FBS and seeded to the wells at 2 x 104 cells/well. Serial dilutions of 2t2 or IL-2 were added to the cells (Figure 146). Cells were incubated in a CO2 incubator at 37oC for 3 days. Cell proliferation was detected by adding 10 ^l of WST1 to each well in the day 3 and incubating for an additional 3 hours in a CO2 incubator at 37oC. The amount of formazan dye produced was analyzed by measuring the absorbance at 450 nm. As shown in Figure 146, 2t2 promoted CTLL-2 cell proliferation 4-5-fold stronger than IL-2. The EC50 of 2t2 was 123.2 pM and IL-2 was 548.2 pM. 2t2 suppressed the increase of the high fat-induced hyperglycemia in ApoE-/- mice Six-week-old female ApoE-/- mice (Jackson Lab) were fed with standard chow diet or high diet fat containing 21% fat, 0.15% cholesterol, 34.1% sucrose, 19.5% casein, and 15% starch (TD88137, Harlan Laboratories) and maintained in the standard conditions. At week 7, mice fed with high fat diet were randomly assigned into the control group and treatment group. Mice then received either 2t2 (treatment group) or PBS (chow diet group and control group) per subcutaneous injection at a dosage of 3 mg/kg. Three days post dosing, the mice were fasted overnight, and blood samples were collected through retro-orbital venous plexus puncture. Overnight fasting glucose levels were measured using a OneTouch Glucometer. As shown in Figure 147, the results showed that 2t2 injection effectively suppresses the increase of glucose levels in ApoE-/- mice. 2t2 significantly upregulate the ratio of CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ T regulatory (Treg) cells in blood lymphocytes Six-week-old female ApoE-/- mice (Jackson Lab) were fed with standard chow diet or high diet fat containing 21% fat, 0.15% cholesterol, 34.1% sucrose, 19.5% casein, and 15% starch (TD88137, Harlan Laboratories) and maintained in the standard conditions. At week 7, mice fed with the high fat diet were randomly assigned into control group and treatment group. Mice then received either 2t2 (treatment group) or PBS (chow diet group and control group) per subcutaneous injection at a dosage of 3 mg/kg. Three days after the dosing, overnight fasting blood samples were collected through retro-orbital venous plexus puncture and incubated with ACK lysing buffer (Thermo Fisher Scientific) at 37°C for 5 minutes. Samples were then resuspended in FACS buffer (1 X PBS (Hyclone) with 0.5% BSA (EMD Millipore) and 0.001% sodium azide (Sigma)) and surface stained with FITC-anti-CD4 and APC-anti-CD25 antibodies (BioLegend) for 30 minutes. Surface-stained samples were further fixed and premetallized with Fix/Perm buffer (BioLegend) and intracellular stained with PE-anti- Foxp3 antibody (BioLegend). After staining, cells were washed twice with FACs buffer followed by centrifugation at 1500 RPM for 5 minutes at room temperature. The cells were analyzed by flow cytometry (Celesta-BD Bioscience). As shown in Figure 148, 2t2 treatment significantly increased Treg populations in blood lymphocytes (3.5%±0.32) compared to the untreated groups (0.4%±0.16 for chow diet group and 0.46%±0.09 for high fat diet group). Purification elution chromatograph of 2t2 from anti-TF antibody affinity column 2t2 harvested from cell culture was loaded onto the anti-TF antibody affinity column equilibrated with 5 column volumes of PBS. After sample loading, the column was washed with 5 column volumes of PBS, followed by elution with 6 column volumes of 0.1M acetic acid, pH 2.9. A280 elution peak was collected and then neutralized to pH 7.5-8.0 with 1M Tris base. The neutralized sample was then buffer exchanged into PBS using Amicon centrifugal filters with a 30 kDa molecular weight cutoff. As shown in Figure 149, the anti-TF antibody affinity column bound to 2t2 which contains TF as a fusion domain. The buffer-exchanged protein sample was stored at 2-8 °C for further biochemical analyses and biological activity tests. After each elution, the anti-TF antibody affinity column was stripped using 6 column volumes of 0.1M glycine, pH 2.5. The column was then neutralized using 5 column volumes of PBS, and 7 column volumes of 20% ethanol for storage. The anti-TF antibody affinity column was connected to a GE Healthcare AKTA Avant system. The flow rate was 4 mL/min for all steps except for the elution step, which was 2 mL/min. Analytical size exclusion chromatography (SEC) analysis of 2t2 To analyze 2t2 using analytical size exclusion chromatography (SEC), a Superdex 200 Increase 10/300 GL gel filtration column (from GE Healthcare) was connected to an AKTA Avant system (from GE Healthcare). The column was equilibrated with 2 column volumes of PBS. The flow rate was 0.7 mL/min. A sample containing 2t2 in PBS was injected into the Superdex 200 column using a capillary loop, and analyzed by SEC. The SEC chromatograph of the sample is shown in Figure 150. The SEC results indicated two protein peaks for 2t2. Reduced SDS-PAGE of 2t2 To determine the purity and molecular weight of the protein, 2t2 protein sample purified with anti-TF antibody affinity column was analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel (4-12% NuPage Bis-Tris gel) electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) method under reduced condition. After electrophoresis, the gel was stained with InstantBlue for about 30 min, followed by destaining overnight in purified water. To verify that the 2t2 protein undergoes glycosylation after translation in CHO cells, a deglycosylation experiment was conducted using the Protein Deglycosylation Mix II kit from New England Biolabs according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Figures 151A and 151B show the reduced SDS-PAGE analysis of the sample in non- deglycosylated (lane 1 in red outline) and deglycosylated (lane 2 in yellow outline) state. The results show that the 2t2 protein is glycosylated when expressed in CHO cells. After deglycosylation, the purified sample ran with expected molecular weights (56 kDa) in reduced SDS gel. Lane M was loaded with 10 µL of SeeBlue Plus2 Prestained Standard. In vivo characterization of 2t2 2t2 was subcutaneously injected into C57BL/6 mice at various doses to determine the immunostimulatory activity of 2t2 in vivo. Mice were subcutaneously treated with control solution (PBS) or 2t2 at 0.1, 0.4, 2 and 10 mg/kg. The treated mice were euthanized day 3 post treatment. The mouse spleens were collected and weighed day 3 post treatment. Single splenocyte suspensions were prepared, and the prepared splenocytes were stained for CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells and NK cells (with fluorochrome-conjugated anti-CD4, -CD8, and –NK1.1 antibodies), and analyzed by flow cytometry. The results showed that 2t2 was effective at expanding splenocytes based on spleen weight (Figure 152A) especially at 0.1-10 mg/kg. The percentage of CD8+ T cells were higher compared to control-treated mice (Figure 152B) at 2 and 10 mg/kg. The percentage of NK cells were higher compared to control-treated mice (Figure 152B) at all doses tested. It has been known that IL-2 upregulates CD25 expression by immunocytes. We therefore accessed CD25 expression of CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells and NK cells in the 2t2 treated mice. C57BL/6 mice were subcutaneously treated with 2t2 as described in the paragraph above. The splenocytes were stained with fluorochrome-conjugated anti-CD4, -CD8, CD25 and NK1.1 monoclonal antibodies. The CD25 expression (MFI) of splenocyte subsets was analyzed by flow cytometry. As shown in Figure 153, at the doses and time points tested, 2t2 significantly upregulated CD25 expression by CD4+ T cells but not CD8+ T cells or NK cells. The pharmacokinetics of 2t2 in C57BL/6 mice were also investigated. 2t2 was subcutaneously injected into C57BL/6 mice at 1 mg/kg. The mouse blood was drawn from tail vein at various time points as shown in Figure 154 and the serum was prepared. 2t2 concentrations were determined with ELISA (Capture: anti-tissue factor antibody; Detection: biotinylated anti-human IL-2 antibody followed by SA-HRP and ABTS substrate). The half-life of 2t2 was 1.83 hours calculated with PK Solutions 2.0 (Summit Research Services). 2t2 attenuated the formation of high fat-induced atherosclerotic plaques in ApoE-/- mice Six-week-old female ApoE-/- mice (The Jackson Laboratory) were fed with standard chow diet or high diet fat (21% fat, 0.15% cholesterol, 34.1% sucrose, 19.5% casein, and 15% starch) (TD88137, Harlan Laboratories) and maintained in the standard conditions. At week 7, mice fed with high fat diet (HFD) were randomly assigned into control group and treatment group. Mice were then administrated either 2t2 (treatment group) or PBS (chow diet group and control group) subcutaneously at a dosage of 3 mg/kg weekly for 4 weeks. At week 12, all mice were euthanized by isoflurane. Aortas were collected, opened longitudinally and stained with Sudan IV solution (0.5%) using en face method. The percentage of plaque area (red color as shown in Figure 155A) relative to total aorta area was then quantified with Image J software. Figure 155A shows a representative view of atherosclerotic plaques from each group. Figure 155B shows the results of quantitative analysis of atherosclerotic plaques of each group. The percentage of plaque areas in control group (HF Diet) was much higher than the treatment group (HFD+2t2), being 10.28% vs 4.68 %. 2t2 suppresses the progression of type 2 diabetes. Male BKS.Cg-Dock7m +/+ Leprdb/J (db/db (Jackson Lab)) mice were fed with standard chow diet and received drinking water ad libitum. At the age of six weeks, mice were randomly assigned into control group and treatment group. The treatment group received 2t2 by subcutaneous injection at 3 mg/kg bi-weekly, while control group received vehicle (PBS) only. Overnight fasting glucose levels were measure weekly using a OneTouch Glucometer. The results showed that 2t2 effectively suppressed the increase of glucose levels in BKS.Cg-Dock7m +/+ Leprdb/J mice (Figure 156). 2t2 significantly upregulates the ratio of CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ T regulatory cells in blood lymphocytes after the first injection Male BKS.Cg-Dock7m +/+ Leprdb/J (db/db) (The Jackson Laboratory) mice were fed with standard chow diet and received drinking water ad libitum. At the age of six weeks, mice were randomly assigned into control group and treatment group. The treatment group received 2t2 by subcutaneous injection at 3 mg/kg bi-weekly, while the control group received vehicle (PBS) only. Four days after the first drug injection, overnight fasting blood samples were collected and incubated with ACK lysing buffer (Thermo Fisher Scientific) at 37°C for 5 minutes. Samples were then resuspended in FACS buffer (1X PBS (Hyclone) with 0.5% BSA (EMD Millipore) and 0.001% sodium azide (Sigma)) and surface stained with FITC-anti-CD4 and APC-anti-CD25 antibodies (BioLegend) for 30 minutes. Surface-stained samples were further fixed and premetallized with Fix/Perm buffer (BioLegend) and intracellular stained with PE-anti- Foxp3 antibody (BioLegend). After staining, cells were washed twice with FACs buffer and were analyzed by flow cytometry (Celesta-BD Bioscience). The percentage of CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ Tregs in blood lymphocytes were measured. As shown in Figure 157, the results showed that 2t2 significantly upregulated the ratio of Tregs in blood lymphocytes (* p<0.05). Example 62.

The expression vector encoding IL-15/TF/IL-15 was transfected into CHO-K1 cells. Expression of the expression vector in CHO-K1 cells allowed for secretion of the soluble IL-15/TF/IL-15 single-chain chimeric polypeptide (referred to as 15t15), which can be purified by anti-TF antibody affinity and other chromatography methods. 15t15 promotes IL-2R ^ and common ^ chain containing 32D ^ cell proliferation IL-15 activity of 15t15 was compared with recombinant IL-15 in IL2R ^ and common ^ chain expressed 32D ^ cells. IL-15 dependent 32D ^ cells were washed five times with IMDM-10% FBS and seeded to the wells at 2 x 104 cells/well. Serial dilutions of 15t15 or IL-15 were added to the cells (Figure 159). Cells were incubated in a CO2 incubator at 37oC for 3 days. Cell proliferation was detected by adding 10 ^l of WST1 to each well in the day 3 and incubating for an additional 3 hours in a CO2 incubator at 37oC. The amount of formazan dye produced was analyzed by measuring the absorbance at 450 nm. As shown in Figure 159, 15t15 promoted 32D ^ cell proliferation less efficiently as compared to IL-15. The EC50 of 15t15 and IL-15 was 161.4 pM and 1.6 pM. respectively. Purification elution chromatograph of 15t15 from anti-TF antibody affinity column 15t15 harvested from cell culture was loaded onto the anti-TF antibody affinity column equilibrated with 5 column volumes of PBS. After sample loading, the column was washed with 5 column volumes of PBS, followed by elution with 6 column volumes of 0.1M acetic acid, pH 2.9. A280 elution peak was collected and then neutralized to pH 7.5-8.0 with 1M Tris base. The neutralized sample was then buffer exchanged into PBS using Amicon centrifugal filters with a 30 kDa molecular weight cutoff. As shown in Figure 160, the anti-TF antibody affinity column bound to 15t15 which contains TF as a fusion domain. The buffer-exchanged protein sample was stored at 2-8 °C for further biochemical analyses and biological activity tests. After each elution, the anti-TF antibody affinity column was stripped using 6 column volumes of 0.1M glycine, pH 2.5. The column was then neutralized using 5 column volumes of PBS, and 7 column volumes of 20% ethanol for storage. The anti-TF antibody affinity column was connected to a GE Healthcare AKTA Avant system. The flow rate was 4 mL/min for all steps except for the elution step, which was 2 mL/min. Reduced SDS-PAGE of 15t15 To determine the purity and molecular weight of the protein, 15t15 protein sample purified with anti-TF antibody affinity column was analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel (4-12% NuPage Bis-Tris gel) electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) method under reduced condition. After electrophoresis, the gel was stained with InstantBlue for about 30 min, followed by destaining overnight in purified water. To verify that the 15t15 protein undergoes glycosylation after translation in CHO cells, a deglycosylation experiment was conducted using the Protein Deglycosylation Mix II kit from New England Biolabs and the manufacturer’s instructions. Figures 161A and 161B show the reduced SDS-PAGE analysis of the sample in non-deglycosylated (lane 1 in red outline) and deglycosylated (lane 2 in yellow outline) state. The results showed that the 15t15 protein is glycosylated when expressed in CHO cells. After deglycosylation, the purified sample ran with expected molecular weights (50 kDa) in reduced SDS gel. Lane M was loaded with 10 µL of SeeBlue Plus2 Prestained Standard. Example 63: Stimulation of NK cells in vitro A set of experiments was performed to assess the changes in surface phenotype of NK cells after stimulation with 18t15-12s, 18t15-12s16, and 7t15-21s + anti-TF antibody. In these experiments, fresh human leukocytes were obtained from the blood bank and CD56+ NK cells were isolated with the RosetteSep/human NK cell reagent (StemCell Technologies). The purity of NK cells was >90% and confirmed by staining with CD56- BV421, CD16-BV510, CD25-PE, and CD69-APCFire750 antibodies (BioLegend). The cells were counted and resuspended at 0.2 x 106/mL in a 96-well flat-bottom plate in 0.2 mL of complete media (RPMI 1640 (Gibco) supplemented with 2 mM L-glutamine (Thermo Life Technologies), penicillin (Thermo Life Technologies), streptomycin (Thermo Life Technologies), and 10% FBS (Hyclone)). The cells were stimulated with: 18t15-12s (100 nM); 18t15-12s16 (100 nM); a mixture of single cytokines rhIL-15 (50 ng/mL) (Miltenyi), rhIL18 (50 ng/mL) (Invivogen), and rhIL-12 (10 ng/mL) (Peprotech); 7t15-21s + anti-TF antibody (100 nM-50 nM); 7t15-21s (100 nM); or anti-TF antibody (50nM) at 37 ^C and 5% CO2 for 16 hours. The next day, the cells were harvested and surface stained for 30 minutes with CD56, CD16, CD25, CD69, CD27, CD62L, NKp30, and NKp44 specific antibodies. After surface staining, the cells were washed (1500 RPM for 5 minutes at room temperature) in FACS buffer (1X PBS (Hyclone) with 0.5% BSA (EMD Millipore) and 0.001% sodium azide (Sigma)). After two washes, the cells were analyzed by flow cytometry (Celesta-BD Bioscience). Figure 162A and 162B shows that overnight incubation of purified NK cells with 18t15-12s, 18t15-12s16, and 7t15-21s + anti-TF antibody resulted in an increase in the percentage of cells expressing CD25, CD69, NKp44, and NKp30 activation markers and a decrease in the percentage of cells expressing CD62L. All activation marker data is from CD56+ gated lymphocytes. A set of experiments was performed to assess changes in the surface phenotype of lymphocyte populations after stimulation with 18t15-12s, 18t15-12s16, and 7t15-21s. In these experiments, fresh human leukocytes were obtained from the blood bank. Peripheral blood lymphocytes were isolated with the Ficoll-PAQUE Plus (GE Healthcare) density gradient media. The cells were counted and resuspended at 0.2 x 106/mL in a 96-well flat-bottom plate in 0.2 mL of complete media (RPMI 1640 (Gibco) supplemented with 2 mM L-glutamine (Thermo Life Technologies), penicillin (Thermo Life Technologies), streptomycin (Thermo Life Technologies), and 10% FBS (Hyclone)). The cells were stimulated with: 18t15-12s (100 nM); 18t15-12s16 (100 nM), a mixture of single cytokines rhIL-15 (50 ng/mL) (Miltenyi), rhIL18 (50 ng/ nvivogen), and

rhIL-12 (10 ng/mL) (Peprotech); 7t15-21s (100 nM) + anti-TF antibody (50 nM); 7t15- 21s (100 nM); or anti-TF antibody (50 nM) at 37 ^C and 5% CO2 for 16 hours. The next day, the cells were harvested and surface stained for 30 minutes for CD4 or CD8, CD62L, and CD69 specific antibodies. After surface staining, cells were washed (1500 RPM for 5 minutes at room temperature) in FACS buffer (1X PBS (Hyclone) with 0.5% BSA (EMD Millipore) and 0.001% sodium azide (Sigma)). After two washes, the cells were analyzed by flow cytometry (Celesta-BD Bioscience). Figure 163 shows that overnight incubation of purified lymphocyte populations (CD4 and CD8 T cells) with 18t15-12s, 18t15-12s16, or 7t15-21s + anti-TF antibody resulted in an increase in the percentage of CD8 and CD4 T cells expressing CD69. Additionally, incubation with 7t15-21s + anti-TF antibody resulted in an increase in the percentage of CD8 and CD4 T cells expressing CD62L (Figure 163). A set of experiments was performed to determine the effect of 18t15-12s on the extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) of NK cells purified from human blood. ECAR can be used to measure glycolysis. Glycolysis is the intracellular biochemical conversion of one molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate with the concurrent generation of two molecules of ATP. An increase in glycolysis was indicated by an increase in ECAR measured by a Seahorse XF96 Analyzer. In these experiments, fresh human leukocytes were obtained from the blood bank and CD56+ NK cells were isolated with the RosetteSep/human NK cell reagent (StemCell Technologies). The purity of NK cells was >70% and confirmed by staining for CD56-BV421, CD16-BV510, CD25-PE, and CD69-APCFire750 antibodies (BioLegend). The cells were counted and resuspended in 0.2 x 106/mL in a 96-well flat-bottom plate in 0.2 mL of complete media (RPMI 1640 (Gibco) supplemented with 2 mM L-glutamine (Thermo Life Technologies), penicillin (Thermo Life Technologies), streptomycin (Thermo Life Technologies), and 10% FBS (Hyclone)). The cells were stimulated with either a mixture of single cytokines hIL-12 (10 ng/mL) (Biolegend), hIL-18 (50 ng/mL) (R&D), and hIL-15 (50 ng/mL) (NCI) or 18t15-12s (100 nM) at 37 ^C and 5% CO2 for 14-18 hours. The next day, the cells were harvested and washed two times in Seahorse media. The cells (2 × 105 cells/well) were seeded in 96-well flux plates that were coated with 10 µL of poly-L- lysine (Sigma). NK cells were adhered to plates for 30 minutes prior to the assay. Glucose, oligomycin, and 2DG solutions were prepared at 10x concentration in buffered Seahorse medium and injected in port A, B, and C of the calibration plate. ECAR readings were taken every 6.5–7 minutes and ECAR results represent the average readings over 80 minutes or average readings at each timepoint. Figure 164 shows overnight stimulation of NK cells with 18t15-12s resulted in increased basal ECAR levels. The addition of glucose and oligomycin further showed enhanced glycolysis and glycolytic capacity, respectively, of NK cells stimulated with 18t15-12s overnight (Figure 164). NK cells treated overnight with media alone or a mixture of IL12, IL18, and IL-15 were used for comparison (Figure 164). A set of experiments was performed to determine the increase in phospho-STAT4 and phospho-STAT5 levels in NK cells after stimulation with 18t15-12s. In these experiments, fresh human leukocytes were obtained from the blood bank and CD56+ NK cells were isolated with the RosetteSep/human NK cell reagent (StemCell Technologies). The purity of NK cells was >70% and confirmed by staining with CD56-BV421, CD16- BV510, CD25-PE, and CD69-APCFire750 specific antibodies (BioLegend). The cells were counted and resuspended in 0.05 x 106/mL in a 96-well flat-bottom plate in 0.1 mL of complete media (RPMI 1640 (Gibco) supplemented with 2 mM L-glutamine (Thermo Life Technologies), penicillin (Thermo Life Technologies), streptomycin (Thermo Life Technologies), and 10% FBS (Hyclone)). The cells were stimulated with hIL-12 (10 ng/mL) (Biolegend) or hIL-15 (50 ng/mL) (NCI) (Single cytokines), or 18t15-12s (100 nM) at 37 ^C and 5% CO2 for 90 minutes. Unstimulated NK cells (US) were used as a control. The cells were harvested and fixed in paraformaldehyde (Sigma) to a final concentration of 1.6%. Plates were incubated in the dark at room temperature for 10 minutes. FACS buffer (1X PBS (Hyclone) with 0.5% BSA (EMD Millipore) and 0.001% sodium azide (Sigma)) (100 µL) was added and cells were transferred to 96-well “V” bottom plate. The cells were washed for 1500 RPM for 5 minutes at room temperature. The cell pellet was mixed with 100 µL chilled methanol by gently pipetting up and down, and cells were incubated for 30 minutes at 4 ^C. The cells were mixed with 100 mL of FACS buffer and washed for 1500 RPM for 5 minutes at room temperature. The cell pellets were mixed with 50 mL of FACS buffer containing 4 mL of pSTAT4 (BD Bioscience) and pSTAT5 antibodies (BD Bioscience) followed by incubation for 30 minutes at room temperature in the dark. The cells were mixed with 100 mL of FACS buffer and washed for 1500 RPM for 5 minutes at room temperature. The cell pellets were mixed with 50 mL of FACS buffer and cells were analyzed by flow cytometry (Celesta-BD Bioscience). Figure 165 shows that incubation of NK cells with 18t15-12s induced an increase in pSTAT4 and pSTAT5 (plotted data, normalized fold-change). A set of experiments was performed to determine the effect of 18t15-12s or a mixture of cytokines (e.g., IL12, IL18, and IL-15) on oxygen consumption rate (OCR) and extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) on NK cells purified from human blood. OCR and ECAR were measured by a Seahorse XF96 Analyzer. In these experiments, fresh human NK cells were isolated from human leukocytes via negative selection using the RosetteSep/human NK cell reagent (StemCell Technologies). Freshly purified NK cells were stimulated overnight (16 h) with either 18t15-12s (100nM) or a mixture of rhIL12 (10 ng/mL), rhIL18 (50 ng/mL), and rhIL-15 (50 ng/mL) cytokines as a control. The next day, the cells were washed, counted, and equal numbers of cells were plated in buffered Seahorse media. Glucose, oligomycin, and 2DG solutions were prepared at 10x concentration in buffered Seahorse medium and injected in port A, B, and C of the calibration plate. Figure 166 shows OCR (left) and ECAR (right) data from two individual donors. Overnight stimulation of NK cells with 18t15-12s resulted in an increase in basal ECAR and OCR levels. Addition of glucose and oligomycin further showed enhanced glycolysis and glycolytic capacity, respectively, of NK cells stimulated with 18t15-12s overnight. NK cells treated overnight with media alone or a mixture of IL12, IL18, and IL-15 were used for comparison. Example 64: Stimulation of NK cells in vivo by 2t2 and/or TGFRt15-TGFRs A set of experiments was performed to determine the effect of the 2t2 construct on immune stimulation in C57BL/6 mice. In these experiments, C57BL/6 mice were subcutaneously treated with control solution (PBS) or 2t2 at 0.1, 0.4, 2, and 10 mg/kg. Treated mice were euthanized 3 days post-treatment. Spleen weight was measured and single splenocyte suspensions were prepared. Splenocytes suspensions were stained with conjugated anti-CD4, anti-CD8, and anti-NK1.1 (NK) antibodies. The percentage of CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, and NK cells, and CD25 expression on lymphocyte subsets were analyzed by flow cytometry. Figure 167A shows that 2t2 was effective at expanding splenocytes based on spleen weight especially at a dose level of 0.1-10 mg/kg. Following treatment, the percentage of CD8+ T cells were higher in 2t2-treated mice compared to control-treated mice at 2 and 10 mg/kg (Figure 167B). The percentage of NK cells were also higher in 2t2-treated mice compared to control-treated mice at all doses of 2t2 tested (Figure 167B). Additionally, 2t2 significantly upregulated CD25 expression by CD4+ T cells, but not CD8+ T cells and NK cells following treatment at 0.4 to10 mg/kg (Figure 167C). A set of experiments was performed to determine the effect of the TGFRt15- TGFRs construct on immune stimulation in C57BL/6 mice. In these experiments, C57BL/6 mice were subcutaneously treated with control solution (PBS) or TGFRt15- TGFRs at 0.3, 1, 3, and 10 mg/kg. The treated mice were euthanized 4 days post- treatment. Spleen weight was measured and single splenocyte suspensions were prepared. The splenocytes suspensions were stained with conjugated anti-CD4, anti- CD8, and anti-NK1.1 (NK) antibodies. The percentage of CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, and NK cells were analyzed by flow cytometry. Figure 168A shows that spleen weight in mice treated with TGFRt15-TGFRs increased with increasing dosage of TGFRt15- TGFRs. Additionally, spleen weight in mice treated with 1 mg/kg, 3 mg/kg, and 10 mg/kg of TGFRt15-TGFRs were higher as compared to mice treated with the control solution. Figure 168B shows that the percentages of CD8+ T cells and NK cells both increased with increasing dosage of TGFRt15-TGFRs. Specifically, the percentages of CD8+ T cells were higher in mice treated with 0.3 mg/kg, 3 mg/kg, and 10 mg/kg of TGFRt15-TGFRs compared to control-treated mice, and the percentages of NK cells were higher in mice treated with 0.3 mg/kg, 1 mg/kg, 3 mg/kg, and 10 mg/kg of TGFRt15-TGFRs compared to control-treated mice. A set of experiments was performed to determine the effect of the TGFRt15- TGFRs construct or 2t2 construct on immune stimulation in ApoE-/- mice fed with a Western diet. In these experiments, 6-week old female B6.129P2-ApoEtm1Unc/J mice (Jackson Laboratory) were fed with a Western diet containing 21% fat, 0.15% cholesterol, 34.1% sucrose, 19.5% casein, and 15% starch (TD88137, Envigo Laboratories). After 8-weeks of the Western diet, the mice were injected subcutaneously with TGFRt15-TGFRs or 2t2 at 3 mg/kg. Three days post treatment, mice were fasted for 16 hours and then blood samples were collected through retro-orbital venous plexus puncture. The blood was mixed with 10 μL 0.5 M EDTA, and 20 μL blood was taken for lymphocyte subsets analysis. The red blood cells were lysed with ACK (0.15 M NH4Cl, 1.0 mM KHCO3, 0.1 mM Na2EDTA, pH 7.4) and the lymphocytes were stained with anti-mouse CD8a and anti-mouse NK1.1 antibodies for 30 minutes at 4 °C in FACS staining buffer (1% BSA in PBS). The cells were washed once and analyzed with a BD FACS Celesta. For Treg staining, ACK treated blood lymphocytes were stained with anti-mouse CD4 and anti-mouse CD25 antibodies for 30 minutes at 4 °C in FACS staining buffer. The cells were washed once and resuspended in fixation/permeabilization working solution and incubated at room temperature for 60 minutes. The cells were washed once and resuspended in permeabilization buffer. The samples were centrifuged at 300-400 x g for 5 minutes at room temperature and the supernatant was then discarded. The cell pellet was resuspended in residual volume and the volume adjusted to about 100 μL with 1 x permeabilization buffer. Anti-Foxp3 antibody was added to the cells, and the cells were incubated for 30 minutes at room temperature. Permeabilization buffer (200 μL) was added to the cells, and the cells were centrifuged at 300-400 x g for 5 minutes at room temperature. The cells were resuspended in flow cytometry staining buffer and analyzed on a flow cytometer. Figures 169B-169C show that treatment with TGFRt15-TGFRs and 2t2 increased the percentage of NK cells and CD8+ T cells in ApoE-/- mice fed with Western diet. Figure 169A shows that treatment with 2t2 also increased the percentage of Treg cells. Example 65: Induction of proliferation of immune cells in vivo A set of experiments was performed to determine the effect of the 2t2 construct on immune cell stimulation in C57BL/6 mice. In these experiments, C57BL/6 mice were subcutaneously treated with control solution (PBS) or 2t2 at 0.1, 0.4, 2, and 10 mg/kg. Treated mice were euthanized 3 days post-treatment. Spleen weight was measured and single splenocyte suspensions were prepared. The splenocyte suspensions were stained with conjugated anti-CD4, anti-CD8, and anti-NK1.1 (NK) antibodies. The percentage of CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, and NK cells were analyzed by flow cytometry. Figure 170A shows that 2t2 treatment was effective at expanding splenocytes based on spleen weight especially at 0.1-10 mg/kg. The percentage of CD8+ T cells was higher compared to control-treated mice at 2 and 10 mg/kg (Figure 170B). Additionally, the percentage of NK cells was higher compared to control-treated mice at all doses of 2t2 tested (Figure 170B). These results demonstrate that 2t2 treatment was able to induce proliferation of CD8+ T cells and NK cells in C57BL/6 mice. A set of experiments was performed to determine the effect of the TGFRt15- TGFRs construct on immune stimulation in C57BL/6 mice. In these experiments, C57BL/6 mice were subcutaneously treated with control solution (PBS) or TGFRt15- TGFRs at 0.1, 0.3, 1, 3, and 10 mg/kg. The treated mice were euthanized 4 days post- treatment. Spleen weight was measured and splenocyte suspensions were prepared. The splenocyte suspensions were stained with conjugated anti-CD4, anti-CD8, and anti- NK1.1 (NK) antibodies. The cells were additionally stained for proliferation marker Ki67. Figure 171A shows that spleen weight in mice treated with TGFRt15-TGFRs increased with increasing dosage of TGFRt15-TGFRs. Additionally, spleen weight in mice treated with 1 mg/kg, 3 mg/kg, and 10 mg/kg of TGFRt15-TGFRs was higher as compared to mice treated with just the control solution. The percentages of CD8+ T cells and NK cells both increased with increasing dosage of TGFRt15-TGFRs (Figure 171B). Finally, TGFRt15-TGFRs significantly upregulated expression of cell proliferation marker Ki67 in both CD8+ T cells and NK cells at all doses of TGFRt15-TGFRs tested. These results demonstrate that TGFRt15-TGFRs treatment induced proliferation of both CD8+ T cells and NK cells in C57BL/6 mice. A set of experiments was performed to determine the effect of the TGFRt15- TGFRs construct or the 2t2 construct on immune stimulation in ApoE-/- mice fed with a Western diet. In these experiments, 6-week old female B6.129P2-ApoEtm1Unc/J mice (Jackson Laboratory) were fed with a Western diet containing 21% fat, 0.15% cholesterol, 34.1% sucrose, 19.5% casein, and 15% starch (TD88137, Envigo Laboratories). After 8-week of the Western diet, the mice were injected subcutaneously with TGFRt15-TGFRs or 2t2 at 3 mg/kg. Three days post-treatment, the mice were fasted for 16 hours and then blood samples were collected through retro-orbital venous plexus puncture. The blood was mixed with 10 μL 0.5 M EDTA and 20 μL blood was taken for lymphocyte subsets analysis. The red blood cells were lysed with ACK (0.15 M NH4Cl, 1.0 mM KHCO3, 0.1 mM Na2EDTA, pH 7.4) and the lymphocytes were stained with anti- mouse CD8a and anti-mouse NK1.1 antibodies for 30 minutes at 4 °C in FACS staining buffer (1% BSA in PBS). The cells were washed once and resuspended in Fixation Buffer (BioLegend Cat# 420801) for 20 minutes at room temperature. The cells were centrifuged at 350 x g for 5 minutes, the fixed cells were resuspended in Intracellular Staining Permeabilization Wash Buffer (BioLegend Cat# 421002) and then centrifuged at 350 x g for 5 minutes. The cells were then stained with anti-Ki67 antibody for 20 minutes at RT. The cells were washed twice with Intracellular Staining Permeabilization Wash Buffer and centrifuged at 350 x g for 5 minutes. The cells were then resuspended in FACS staining buffer. Lymphocyte subsets were analyzed with a BD FACS Celesta. As described in Figure 172A, treatment of ApoE-/- mice with TGFRt15-TGFRs induced proliferation (Ki67-positive staining) in NK and CD8+ T cells. Additionally, Figure 172B shows treatment of ApoE-/- mice with 2t2 also induced proliferation (Ki67-positive staining) in NK and CD8+ T cells. A set of experiments was performed to determine the effect 7t15-21s + anti-TF antibody-expanded NK cells in NSG mice following treatment with 7t15-21s, TGFRt15- TGFRs, and 2t2. In these experiments, fresh human leukocytes were obtained from the blood bank and CD56+ NK cells were isolated with the RosetteSep/human NK cell reagent (StemCell Technologies). The purity of NK cells was >90% and confirmed by staining with CD56-BV421, CD16-BV510, CD25-PE, and CD69-APCFire750 antibodies (BioLegend). The cells were counted and resuspended in 2 x 106/mL in a 24-well flat- bottom plate in 2 mL of complete media (RPMI 1640 (Gibco) supplemented with 2 mM L-glutamine (Thermo Life Technologies), penicillin (Thermo Life Technologies), streptomycin (Thermo Life Technologies), and 10% FBS (Hyclone)). The cells were stimulated with: 7t15-21s (100 nM) and anti-TF antibody (50 nM) for 15 days. After every 2 days, the cells were resuspended at 2 x 106/mL with fresh media containing 100 nM 7t15-21s and 50 nM of anti-TF antibody. As the volume of the cultures increased, the cells were transferred to higher volume flasks. The cells were counted using trypan blue to access the fold-expansion. 7t15-21s + anti-TF antibody-expanded NK cells were washed three times in warm HBSS Buffer (Hyclone) at 1000 RPM for 10 minutes at room temperature. The 7t15-21s + anti-TF antibody-expanded-NK cells were resuspended in 10 x 106/0.2 mL HBSS buffer and injected intravenously into the tail vein of NSG mice (NOD scid common gamma mouse) (Jackson Laboratories). The transferred NK cells were supported every 48 hours with either 7t15-21s (10 ng/dose, i.p.), TGFRt15-TGFRs (10 ng/dose, i.p.) or 2t2 (10 ng/dose, i.p.) for up to 21 days. Engraftment and persistence of the human 7t15-21s + anti-TF antibody-expanded NK cells were measured every week in blood staining for hCD45, mCD45, hCD56, hCD3, and hCD16 antibodies by flow cytometry (Celesta-BD Bioscience) (Data represent 3 mice per group). Figure 173 indicates that treatment of mice bearing adoptively- transferred 7t15-21s + anti-TF antibody-expanded NK cells with 7t15-21s-, TGFRt15- TGFRs-, or 2t2-induced expansion and persistence of the adoptively transferred NK cells compared to control treated mice. Example 66: NK-mediated cytotoxicity following treatment with single-chain constructs or multi-chain constructs A set of experiments was performed to determine if treatment of NK cells with TGFRt15-TGFRs enhanced cytotoxicity of NK cells. In these experiments, Human Daudi B lymphoma cells were labeled with CellTrace Violet (CTV) and used as tumor target cells. Mouse NK effector cells were isolated with NK1.1-positive selection using a magnetic cell sorting method (Miltenyi Biotec) of C57BL/6 female mouse spleens 4 days post TGFRt15-TGFRs subcutaneous treatment at 3 mg/kg. Human NK effector cells were isolated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells derived from human blood buffy coats with the RosetteSep/human NK cell reagent (Stemcell Technologies). The target cells (Human Daudi B lymphoma cells) were mixed with effector cells (either mouse NK effector cells or human NK effector cells) in the presence of 50 nM TGFRt15-TGFRs or in the absence of TGFRt15-TGFRs (control) and incubated at 37 °C for 44 hours for mouse NK cells and for 20 hours for human NK cells. Target cell (Daudi) viability was assessed by analysis of propidium iodide-positive, CTV-labeled cells using flow cytometry. The percentage of Daudi inhibition was calculated using the formula (1- viable tumor cell number in experimental sample/viable tumor cell number in the sample without NK cells) x 100. Figure 174 shows that mouse (Figure 174A) and human (Figure 174B) NK cells had significantly stronger cytotoxicity against Daudi B cells following NK cell activation with TGFRt15-TGFRs than in the absence of TGFRt15-TGFRs activation. A set of experiments was performed to determine antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) of mouse and human NK cells following treatment with TGFRt15- TGFRs. In these experiments, human Daudi B lymphoma cells were labeled with CellTrace Violet (CTV) and used as tumor target cells. Mouse NK effector cells were isolated with NK1.1-positive selection using a magnetic cell sorting method (Miltenyi Biotec) of C57BL/6 female mouse spleens 4 days post-TGFRt15-TGFRs subcutaneous treatment at 3 mg/kg. Human NK effector cells were isolated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells derived from human blood buffy coats with the RosetteSep/human NK cell reagent (Stemcell Technologies). The target cells (Daudi B cells) were mixed with effector cells (either mouse NK effector cells or human NK effector cells) in the presence of anti-CD20 antibody (10 nM Rituximab, Genentech) and in the presence of 50 nM TGFRt15-TGFRs, or in the absence of TGFRt15-TGFRs (control) and incubated at 37 °C for 44 hours for mouse NK cells and for 20 hours for human NK cells. The Daudi B cells express the CD20 targets for the anti-CD20 antibody. Target cell viability was assessed after incubation by analysis of propidium iodide-positive, CTV-labeled target cells using flow cytometry. The percentage of Daudi inhibition was calculated using the formula (1- viable tumor cell number in experimental sample/viable tumor cell number in the sample without NK cells) x 100. Figure 175 shows that mouse NK cells (Figure 175A) and human NK cells (Figure 175B) had stronger ADCC activity against Daudi B cells following NK cell activation with TGFRt15-TGFRs than in the absence of TGFRt15- TGFRs activation. A set of experiments was performed to determine cytotoxicity of TGFRt15- TGFRs-activated mouse NK cells towards senescent B16F10 melanoma cells. In these experiments, mouse NK cells were activated in vivo by injecting C57BL/6 mice with 10 mg/kg of TGFRt15-TGFRs for 4 days followed by isolation of splenic NK cells. The NK cells were then expanded in vitro for 7 days in the presence of 100 nM 2t2. The B16F10 senescent target cells (B16F10-SNC) were labelled with CellTrace Violet (CTV) and incubated at different Effector:Target (E:T) ratios with the activated mouse NK effector cells for 16 hours. The cells were trypsinized, washed, and resuspended in complete media containing propidium iodide (PI) solution. The cytotoxicity of the TGFRt15- TGFRs/2t2-activated NK cells against the senescent cell targets was accessed by flow cytometry based on PI staining of the CTV-labeled cells. The findings demonstrate that in vivo activation of NK cells with TGFRt15-TGFRs followed by in vitro expansion and activation with 2t2 resulted in increased killing of senescent melanoma tumor cells by the NK cells (Figure 176). Example 67: Treatment of Cancer, Diabetes, and Atherosclerosis A set of experiments was performed to assess antitumor activity of TGFRt15- TGFRs plus anti-TRP1 antibody (TA99) in combination with chemotherapy in a melanoma mouse model. In these experiments, C57BL/6 mice were subcutaneously injected with 0.5 x 106 B16F10 melanoma cells. The mice were treated with three doses of chemotherapy docetaxel (10 mg/kg) (DTX) on day 1, day 4, and day 7, followed by treatment with single dose of combination immunotherapy TGFRt15-TGFRs (3 mg/kg) + anti-TRP1 antibody TA99 (200 µg) on day 9. Figure 177A shows a schematic of the treatement regimen. Tumor growth was monitored by caliper measurement, and tumor volume was calculated using the formula V = (L × W2)/2, where L is the largest tumor diameter and W is the perpendicular tumor diameter. Figure 177B shows that treatment with DTX + TGFRt15-TGFRs + TA99 significantly reduced tumor growth compared to saline control and DTX treatment groups (N=10, ****p <0.001, Multiple t test analyses). To assess immune cell subsets in the B16F10 tumor model, peripheral blood analysis was performed. In these experiments, C57BL/6 mice were injected with B16F10 cells and treated with DTX, DTX + TGFRt15-TGFRs + TA99, or saline. Blood was drawn from the submandibular vein of B16F10 tumor-bearing mice on days 2, 5, and 8 post-immunotherapy for the DTX + TGFRt15-TGFRs + TA99 group and day 11 post- tumor injection for the DTX and saline groups. RBCs were lysed in ACK lysis buffer and the lymphocytes were washed and stained with anti-NK1.1, anti-CD8, and anti-CD4 antibodies. The cells were analyzed by flow cytometry (Celesta-BD Bioscience). Figures 177C-177E show that DTX + TGFRt15-TGFRs + TA99 treatment induced an increase in the percentage of NK cells and CD8+ T cells in the tumors compared to the saline and DTX treatment groups. On day 17, total RNA was extracted from tumors of mice treated with saline, DTX or DTX + TGFRt15-TGFRs + TA99 using Trizol. Total RNA (1 µg) was used for cDNA synthesis using the QuantiTect Reverse Transcription Kit (Qiagen). Real-time PCR was carried out with CFX96 Detection System (Bio-Rad) using FAM-labeled predesigned primers for senescence cell markers, (F) p21 (G) DPP4 and (H) IL6. The housekeeping gene 18S ribosomal RNA was used as an internal control to normalize the variability in expression levels. The expression of each target mRNA relative to 18S rRNA was calculated based on Ct as 2–Δ(ΔCt), in which ΔCt = Cttarget– Ct18S. The data is presented as fold-change as compared to saline control. Figure 177F-177H show that DTX treatment induced an increase in senescent tumor cells that were subsequently reduced following treatment with TGFRt15-TGFRs + TA99 immunotherapy. A set of experiments was performed to investigate amelioration of Western diet- induced hyperglycemia in ApoE-/- mice by 2t2. In these experiments, 6-week old female B6.129P2-ApoEtm1Unc/J mice (Jackson Laboratory) were fed with a Western diet containing 21% fat, 0.15% cholesterol, 34.1% sucrose, 19.5% casein, and 15% starch (TD88137, Envigo Laboratories). After 8-weeks of the Western diet, the mice were injected subcutaneously with TGFRt15-TGFRs or 2t2 at 3 mg/kg. Three days post- treatment, the mice were fasted for 16 hours and then blood samples were collected through retro-orbital venous plexus puncture. Blood glucose was detected with a glucose meter (OneTouch UltraMini) and GenUltimated test strips using a drop of fresh blood. As shown in Figure 178A, 2t2 treatment significantly reduced hyperglycemia induced by the Western diet (p<0.04). The plasma insulin and resistin levels were analyzed with Mouse Rat Metabolic Array by Eve Technologies. HOMA-IR was calculated using the following formula: homeostatic model assessment-insulin resistance = Glucose (mg/dL) * Insulin (mU/mL)/405. As shown in Figure 178B, both 2t2 and TGFRt15-TGFRs treatment reduced insulin resistance compared to the untreated group. Both 2t2 (p<0.02) and TGFRt15-TGFRs (p<0.05) reduced resistin levels significantly compared to the untreated group as shown in Figure 178C, which may relate to the reduced insulin resistance induced by 2t2 and TGFRt15-TGFRs (Figure F3B). Example 68: Induction of differentiation of NK cells into cytokine-induced memory like NK cells A set of experiments was performed to assess the differentiation of NK cells into cytokine-induced memory like NK Cells (CIMK-NK Cells) after stimulation with 18t15- 12s. In these experiments, fresh human leukocytes were obtained from the blood bank and CD56+ NK cells were isolated with the RosetteSep/human NK cell reagent (StemCell Technologies). The purity of NK cells was >90% and confirmed by staining with CD56- BV421, CD16-BV510, CD25-PE, and CD69-APCFire750 antibodies (BioLegend). The cells were counted and resuspended in 2 x 106/mL in a 24-well flat-bottom plate in 2 mL of complete media (RPMI 1640 (Gibco) supplemented with 2 mM L-glutamine (Thermo Life Technologies), penicillin (Thermo Life Technologies), streptomycin (Thermo Life Technologies), and 10% FBS (Hyclone)). The cells were unstimulated (“No Spike”) or stimulated with 18t15-12s (100 nM) or a mixture of single cytokines including rhIL-15 (50 ng/mL) (Miltenyi), rhIL18 /mL) (Invivogen), and rhIL-12 (10 ng/mL)
Figure imgf000708_0001
(Peprotech) (“single cytokines”) at 37 ^C and 5% CO2 for 16 hrs. The next day, the cells were harvested, and washed two times with warm complete media at 1000 RPM for 10 minutes at room temperature. The cells were resuspended at 2 x 106/mL in a 24-well flat- bottom plate in 2 mL of complete media with rhIL-15 (1 ng/mL). After every 2 days, half of the medium was replaced with fresh complete media containing rhIL-15. To assess the change in memory phenotype of NK cells at day 7, the cells were stained with antibodies to cell-surface CD56, CD16, CD27, CD62L, NKp30, and NKp44 (BioLegend). After surface staining, the cells were washed (1500 RPM for 5 minutes at room temperature) in FACS buffer (1X PBS (Hyclone) with 0.5% BSA (EMD Millipore) and 0.001% sodium azide (Sigma)). After two washes, the cells were analyzed by flow cytometry (Celesta-BD Bioscience). Figure 179 shows that incubation of NK cells with 18t15-12s resulted in an increase in the percentage of CD16+CD56+ NK cells expressing CD27, CD62L, and NKp44, and an increase in the levels (MFI) of NKp30 in CD16+CD56+ NK cells. Example 69. Upregulation of CD44 memory T cells C57BL/6 mice were subcutaneously treated with TGFRt15-TGFRs or 2t2. The treated mice were euthanized and the single splenocyte suspensions were prepared 4 days (TGFRt15-TGFRs) or 3 days (2t2) following the treatment. The prepared splenocytes were stained with fluorochrome-conjugated anti-CD4, anti-CD8 and anti-CD44 antibodies and the percentages of CD44high T cells in CD4+ T cells or CD8+ T cells were analyzed by flow cytometry. The results show that TGFRt15-TGFRs and 2t2 upregulated expression of the memory marker CD44 on CD4+ and CD8+ T cells (Figures 180). These findings indicate that TGFRt15-TGFRs and 2t2 molecules were able to induce mouse T cells to differentiate into memory T cells. Example 70: Improvement of the texture and/or appearance and/or hair To examine the effect of 2t2 on hair regrowth, dorsal hair of C57BL6/J mice (Jackson Laboratory) was first shortened with clippers followed by application of depilatory cream (Nair) to the shaved region for a period of 30 seconds before wiping clean. After 4 hours, 2t2 (3 mg/kg, single dose), low dose recombinant IL-2 (25000 IU, 5 consecutive days, 1 dose/day), or PBS were administered subcutaneously. The mice were monitored for skin pigmentation related to hair regrowth and pictures were taken and analyzed using the Image J software. Figure 181A shows skin pigmentation 10 days after depilation in PBS-, 2t2-, or IL-2-treated mice. Figure 181B shows the percent pigmentation in each group of mice 10 days post-treatment as analyzed using the Image J software. The results showed that treatment of mice with 2t2 or IL-2 promoted hair regrowth following depilation compared to PBS-treated mice. Dorsal hair of C57BL6/J mice (Jackson Laboratory) was first shortened with clippers before applying depilatory cream (Nair) to the shaved region for a period of exactly 30 seconds before wiping clean. After 4 hours, 2t2 (3 mg/kg, single dose), low dose recombinant IL-2 (25000 IU, 5 consecutive days, 1 dose/day) or PBS were administered subcutaneously. The mice were monitored for skin pigmentation related to hair regrowth and pictures were taken and analyzed using Image J software. Figure 182 shows skin pigmentation 14 days after depilation in PBS-, 2t2-, or IL-2-treated mice. The results showed that treatment of mice with 2t2 or IL-2 promoted hair regrowth following depilation compared to the PBS-treated mice. Example 71: Tissue factor coagulation assays following treatment with single-chain or multi-chain chimeric polypeptides A set of experiments was performed to assess blood coagulation following treatment with single-chain or multi-chain chimeric polypeptides. To initiate the blood coagulation cascade pathway, tissue factor (TF) binds to Factor VIIa (FVIIa) to form a TF/FVIIa complex. The TF/FVIIa complex then binds Factor X (FX) and converts FX to FXa. Factor VIIa (FVIIa) activity Assay One assay to measure blood coagulation involves measuring Factor VIIa (FVIIa) activity. This type of assay requires the presence of tissue factor and calcium. The TF/FVIIa complex activity can be measured by a small substrate or by a natural protein substrate, for example, Factor X (FX). When FX is used as a substrate, phospholipids are also required for TF/FVIIa activity. In this assay, FVIIa activity is determined with FVIIa-specific chromogenic substrate S-2288 (Diapharma, West Chester, OH). The color change of the S-2288 substrate can be measured spectrophotometrically and is proportional to the proteolytic activity of FVIIa (e.g., the TF/FVIIa complex). In these experiments, the FVIIa activity of the following groups were compared: the 219-amino acid extracellular domain of tissue factor domain (TF219), a multi-chain chimeric polypeptide with a wild-type tissue factor domain, and a multi-chain chimeric polypeptide with a mutant tissue factor domain. The chimeric polypeptides containing mutant tissue factor molecules were constructed with mutations to the TF domain at amino acid sites: Lys20, Ile22, Asp58, Arg135, and Phe140. In order to assess activity of FVIIa, FVIIa, and TF219 or a TF219 -containing multi- chain chimeric polypeptide were mixed at an equal molar concentration (10 nM) in all wells of a 96-well ELISA plate in a total volume of 70 µL. After incubation for 10 minutes at 37 °C, 10 µL of 8 mM S-2288 substrate was added to start the reaction. The incubation was then kept at 37 °C for 20 minutes. Finally, color change was monitored by reading absorbance at 405 nm. The OD values of different TF/VIIa complexes are shown in Table 1 and Table 2. Table 1 shows a comparison of TF219, 21t15-21s wild-type (WT) and 21t15-21s mutant (Mut). Table 2 shows a comparison of TF219, 21t15-TGFRs wild-type (WT), and 21t15-TGFRs mutant (Mut). These data show that TF219-containing multi-chain chimeric polypeptides (e.g., 21t15-21s-WT, 21t15-21s-Mut, 21t15-TGFRS- WT, and 21t15-TGFRS-Mut) have lower FVIIa activity than TF219 when the chromogenic S-2288 was used as a substrate. Notably, the multi-chain chimeric polypeptides containing TF219 mutations showed much lower FVIIa activity when compared to multi-chain chimeric polypeptides containing wild type TF219. Table 1.

WT: wild type of TF219, Mut: TF219 containing mutations. Factor X (FX) Activation Assay An additional assay to measure blood coagulation involves measuring activation of Factor X (FX). Briefly, TF/VIIa activates blood coagulation Factor X (FX) to Factor Xa (FXa) in the presence of calcium and phospholipids. TF243, which contains the transmembrane domain of TF, has much higher activity in activating FX to FXa than TF219, which does not contain the transmembrane domain. TF/VIIa dependent activation of FX is determined by measuring FXa activity using an FXa-specific chromogenic substrate S-2765 (Diapharma, West Chester, OH). The color change of S-2765 can be monitored spectrophotometrically and is proportional to the proteolytic activity of FXa. In these experiments, FX activation with a multi-chain chimeric polypeptide (18t15-12s, mouse (m)21t15, 21t15-TGFRs, and 21t15-7s) was compared with a positive control (Innovin) or TF219. TF219 (or TF219-containing multi-chain chimeric polypeptides)/FVIIa complexes were mixed at an equal molar concentration (0.1 nM each) in a volume of 50 µL in round bottom wells of a 96-well ELISA plate, after which 10 µL of 180 nM FX was added. After 15 minutes of incubation at 37 °C, during which time FX was converted to FXa, 8 µL of 0.5 M EDTA (which chelates calcium and thus terminates FX activation by TF/VIIa) was added to each well to stop FX activation. Next, 10 µL of 3.2 mM S-2765 substrate was added to the reaction mixture. Immediately, the plate absorbance was measured at 405 nm and was recorded as the absorbance at time 0. The plate was then incubated for 10-20 minutes at 37 °C. The color change was monitored by reading absorbance at 405 nm following the incubation. Results of FX activation as measured by FXa activity using chromogenic substrate S- 2765 are shown in Figure 183. In this experiment, Innovin, which is a commercial prothrombin reagent containing lipidated recombinant human TF243, was used as a positive control for FX activation. Innovin was reconstituted with purified water to about 10 nM of TF243. Next, 0.1 nM TF/VIIa complex was made by mixing an equal volume of 0.2nM of FVIIa with 0.2 nM of Innovin. Innovin demonstrated very potent FX activation activity, while TF219 and TF219-containing multi-chain chimeric polypeptides had very low FX activation activity, confirming that TF219 is not active in a TF/FVIIa complex for activating natural substrate FX in vivo. Prothrombin Time Test A third assay to measure blood coagulation is the prothrombin time (PT) test, which measures blood clotting activity. Here, the PT test was performed using commercially available normal human plasma (Ci-Trol Coagulation Control, Level I). For a standard PT test, clot reactions were initiated by addition of Innovin, a lipidated recombinant human TF243, in the presence of calcium. Clotting time was monitored and reported by STart PT analyzer (Diagnostica Stago, Parsippany, N.J.). PT assays were started by injecting 0.2 mL of various dilutions of Innovin diluted in PT assay buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 14.6 mM CaCl2, 0.1% BSA) into cuvettes containing 0.1 mL of normal human plasma prewarmed at 37 °C. In the PT assay, shorter PT time (clotting time) indicates a higher TF-dependent clotting activity while longer PT (clotting time) means lower TF-dependent clotting activity. As seen in Figure 184, addition of different amounts of Innovin (e.g., Innovin reconstituted with purified water equivalent to 10 nM of lipidated recombinant human TF243 was considered to be 100% Innovin) to the PT assay demonstrated a dose-response relationship, where lower concentrations of TF243 resulted in a longer PT time (lower clotting activity). For example, 0.001% Innovin had a PT time greater than 110 seconds, which was almost the same as buffer alone. In another experiment, the PT test was conducted on TF219 and multi-chain chimeric polypeptides including: 18t15-12s, 7t15-21s, 21t15-TGFRs-WT, and 21t15- TGFRs-Mut. Figure 185 show that TF219 and TF219-containing multi-chain chimeric polypeptides (at a concentration of 100 nM) had prolonged PT times indicating extremely low or no clotting activity. Studies were also conducted to evaluate whether incubating the multi-chain chimeric polypeptides in the presence of other cells carrying receptors for the cytokine components of the multi-chain chimeric polypeptide (32Dβ or human PBMCs) would affect the clotting time in the PT assay. To examine whether cells that express IL-15 receptor (32Dβ cells) or IL-15 and IL-21 receptors (PBMCs) would bind IL-15 - containing multi-chain chimeric polypeptides to mimic natural TF as a cellular FVIIa receptor, TF219-containing multi-chain chimeric polypeptides (at a concentration of 100 nM for each molecule) were diluted in the PT assay buffer and preincubated with 32Dβ cells (at 2 x 105 cells/mL) or PBMC (at 1 x 105 cells/mL) for 20-30 minutes at room temperature. The PT assay was then conducted as described above. Figures 186 and 187 shows that TF219 and TF219-containing multi-chain chimeric polypeptides mixed with 32Dβ cells (Figure 186) or PBMC (Figure 187) at a final concentration of 100 nM had prolonged PT times similar to 0.001-0.01% Innovin (equivalent to 0.1 pM to 1.0 pM of TF243). Expressed in percentage of relative TF243 activity, TF219-containing multi-chain chimeric polypeptides had 100,000 to 1,000,000 times lower TF dependent clotting activity when compared to Innovin. This demonstrated that TF219-containing multi-chain chimeric polypeptides had extremely low or no TF-dependent clotting activity, even while the molecules were bound to an intact cell membrane surface, such as 32Dβ or PBMCs.

On day 1, a 96-well plate was coated with 100 ^L (2.5 ^g/mL) of GAH IgG Fc (G-102-C, R&D Systems) in R5 (coating buffer), overnight. On day 2, the plates were washed three times and blocked with 300 ^L of 1% BSA in PBS at 37oC for 2 hrs. 10 ng/ml of 4.1BB/Fc (838-4B, R&D Systems) was added at 100 ^l/well for 2 hrs at room temperature. Following three washes, 7t15-21s137L (long version) or 7t15-21s137Ls (short version) was added starting at 10 nM, or recombinant human 4.1BBL starting at 180ng/mL, with 1/3 dilution, followed by incubation at 4oC overnight. On day 3, the plates were washed three times, and 500 ng/mL of biotinylate-goat anti-human 4.1BBL (BAF2295, R&D Systems) was applied at 100 ^L per well, followed by incubation at RT for 2 hrs. The plates were washed three times, and incubated with 0.25 ^g/mL of HRP-SA (Jackson ImmuneResearch) at 100 ^L per well for 30 min. The plates were then washed three times, and incubated with 100 ^L of ABTS for 2 mins at RT. The results were read at 405 nm. As shown in Figure 188, both 7t15-21s137L (long version) and 7t15-21s137L (short version) could interact with 4.1BB/Fc (dark diamond and gray square) compared to the recombinant human 4.1BB ligand (rhCD137L, light gray star). 7t15-21s137L (long version) (dark diamond) interacted better with 4.1BB/Fc as compared to 7t15-21s137L (short version) (gray square). The following experiments were conducted to evaluate whether the components IL7, IL21, IL15, and 4.1BBL in 7t15-21s137L (long version) were intact to be detected by the individual antibody using ELISA. A 96-well plate was coated with 100 ^L (4 ^g/mL) of anti-TF (human IgG1) in R5 (coating buffer) and incubated at RT for 2 hrs. The plates were washed three times, and blocked with 100 ^L of 1% BSA in PBS. Purified 7t15-21s137L (long version) was added starting at 10 nM, and at 1/3 dilution, followed by incubation at RT for 60 min. The plates were washed three times, and 500 ng/mL of biotinylate-anti-IL7 (506602, R&D Systems), 500 ng/mL of biotinylate-anti- IL21 (13-7218-81, R&D Systems), 50 ng/mL of biotinylate-anti-IL15 (BAM247, R&D Systems), or 500 ng/ml of biotinylate-goat anti-human 4.1BBL (BAF2295, R&D Systems) was added per well and incubated at room temperature for 60 min. The plates were washed three times and incubated with 0.25 ^g/mL of HRP-SA (Jackson ImmunoResearch) at 100 ^L per well for 30 min at RT. The plates were washed four times, and incubated with 100 ^L of ABTS for 2 mins at room temperature. The absorbance results were read at 405 nm. As shown in Figure 189A-189D, the components including IL7, IL21, IL15, and 4.1BBL in 7t15-21s137L (long version) were detected by the individual antibodies. The following experiment was conducted to evaluate the activity of IL15 in 7t15- 21s137L (long version) and 7t15-21s137L (short version). The ability of 7t15-21s137L (long version) and 7t15-21s137L (short version) to promote proliferation of IL2R ^ ^ ^- expressing CTLL2 cells was compared with that of recombinant IL15. IL15 dependent CTLL2 cells were washed five times with IMDM-10% FBS and seeded to the wells at 2 x 104 cells/well. Serially diluted 7t15-21s137L (long version), 7t15-21s137L (short version), or IL15 were added to the cells. Cells were incubated in a CO2 incubator at 37 oC for 3 days. Cell proliferation was detected by adding 20 ^L of PrestoBlue (A13261, ThermoFisher) to each well on day 3 and incubated for an additional 4 hours in a CO2 incubator at 37 oC. Raw absorbance at 570-610 nm was read in a micro-titer plate reader. As shown in Figure 190, 7t15-21s137L (long version), 7t15-21s137L (short version), and IL15 all promoted CTLL2 cell proliferation. The EC50 of 7t15-21s137L (long version), 7t15-21s137L (short version), and IL15 is 51.19 pM, 55.75 pM, and 4.947 pM, respectively. Example 73: Induction of Treg cells by 2t2   The peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of a heathy donor (Donor 163) were isolated from 5 mL of whole blood buffy coats by Ficoll Paque Plus (GE17144003). The PBMC were then lysed with ACK to remove red blood cells. Cells were washed with IMDM-10% FBS and counted. 1.8 x106 cells (100 ^L/tube) were seeded to the flow tubes and incubated with 50 ^L of descending 2t2 or IL2 (15000, 1500, 150, 15, 1.5, 0.15, or 0 pM) and 50 ^L of pre-staining antibodies (anti-CD8-BV605 and anti-CD127- AF647). Cells were incubated for 30 min at 37 oC in water bath. 200 μl of pre-warmed BD Phosflow Fix Buffer I (Cat# 557870, Becton Dickinson Biosciences) was added for 10 min at 37o C in water bath to stop the stimulation. Cells (4.5 x105 cells/100 ^L) were transferred to a V-shape 96-well plate and were spun down followed by permeabilization with 100 ^L of -20 oC pre-cooled BD Phosflow Perm Buffer III (Cat# BD Biosciences) for 30 min on ice. The cells were then extensively washed x2 with 200 ^L of FACS buffer and stained with a panel of fluorescent antibodies (anti-CD25-PE, CD4-PerCP- Cy5.5, CD56-BV421, CD45RA-PE-Cy7 and pSTAT5a-AF488) to distinguish between different lymphocyte subpopulations and evaluate the pSTAT5a status. Cells were spun down and resuspended in 200 ^L of FACS buffer for FACSCelesta analysis. As sown in Figure 191A, 6 pM of 2t2 was sufficient to induce the phosphorylation of Stat5a in CD4+CD25hi Treg cells while 43.11 pM of IL-2 was required to induce phosphorylation of Stat5a in the same population of lymphocytes. In contrast, 2t2 was less active (Figure 191B) or equally active (Figure 191C) as compared to IL2 in inducing phosphorylation of Stat5a in CD4+CD25-Tcon and CD8+Tcon cells. These results suggest that 2t2 is superior as compared to IL2 in activating Treg in human PBMC, and that 2t2 demonstrates increased Treg selectivity compared to IL-2 in human blood lymphocyte pStat5a responses. Example 74. Improvement in Hair Growth using a Single-Chain Chimeric Polypeptide The dorsal hair of 7-week-old C57BL6/J mice was shaved and depilated using commercial depilatory cream. The mice were injected on the same day subcutaneously with a single dose of 2t2 or low dose commercially available recombinant IL-2, followed by daily dosing for four additional days. Untreated mice served as controls. On day 10, the mice were sacrificed and skin sections of the shaved areas were prepared. Representative H&E staining of skin sections from C57BL6J mice on day 10 following depilation are shown in Figures 192A – 192E. Figure 192A shows control mice - only depilation done after hair was shaved, Figure 192B shows mice where depilation was followed by low dose IL-2 (1 mg/kg) administration, and Figures 192C-192E shows mice where depilation was followed by 2t2 administered at 0.3 mg/kg (Figure 192C), 1 mg/kg (Figure 192D), and 3 mg/kg (Figure 192E). Black arrows indicate anagen-phase hair follicles that will later extend into dermis and facilitate hair growth. Figure 194 shows the total number of anagen phase hair follicles counted per 10 fields for each treatment group. In summary, the data show that the 2t2 molecule resulted in increased numbers of anagen-phase hair follicles compared to depilation alone. This effect was also dose- dependent. Example 75: Differentiation of the Immune Cell into a Memory-Like Immune Cell Fresh human leukocytes were obtained from the blood bank and CD56+ NK cells were isolated with the RosetteSep/human NK cell reagent (StemCell Technologies). The purity of NK cells was >70% and confirmed by staining with CD56-BV421, CD16- BV510, CD25-PE, CD69-APCFire750 (BioLegend). The cells were counted and resuspended at a density of 2 x 106 cells/mL in RPMI 1640 medium (Gibco) supplemented with 2 mM L-glutamine (Thermo Life Technologies), antibiotics (penicillin, 10,000 units/mL; streptomycin, 10,000 µg/mL; Thermo Life Technologies), and 10% FBS (Hyclone). The cells (1 mL) were transferred into a 24-well flat bottom plate, and subjected to either: no treatment, or expanded with 7t15-21s + anti-tissue factor (TF)-antibody (IgG1) (50 nM) for 14 days with medium. The cells were replenished with fresh 7t15-21s + anti-TF-antibody (IgG1) (50 nM) to keep the cell density at approximately 1 x 106 cells/mL. Unexpanded NK cells to treatment groups were used as positive controls for full DNA methylation levels (Data not shown). NK cells were pelleted (1 x 106), and genomic DNA (nDNA) isolated using the QIAamp UCP DNA Micro Kit (Qiagen). 500 ng of purified nDNA was subjected to sodium bisulfite treatment using the EZ DNA Methylation-Direct kit (Zymo Research) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Bisulfite treatment introduces methylation-dependent changes in the DNA with demethylated cytosines being converted into uracil, whereas methylated cytosines remain unchanged. The bisulfite-treated nDNA (10-50 ng) was used as template to PCR amplify a 228 bp region of the IFNγ promoter containing two CpG sites (CpG -186 and CpG -54, position relative to the transcription start site, TSS), known to be heavily regulated by DNA methylation in T cells, using the Pyromark PCR kit (Qiagen) with the forward primer IFNG127F (5′-ATGGTATAGGTGGGTATAATGG-3′) and the biotinylated reverse primer IFNG355R-bio (biotin-5′-CAATATACTACACCTCCTCTAACTAC-3′) (GENEWIZ). The PCR conditions were 15 minutes at 95°C, 48 cycles of 30 seconds at 95 °C, 30 seconds at 56°C, 60 seconds at 72°C followed by 10 minutes at 72°C. The integrity and quality of the PCR amplified products were visualized on a 1.2% TAE agarose gel. The DNA methylation status of these two CpG sites was determined by pyrosequencing, which is the gold standard technique to quantitatively measure DNA methylation at single CpG-site. Pyrosequencing reactions were performed at Johns Hopkins University Genetic Resources Core Facility using the DNA sequencing primers C186-IFNG135F (5′-GGTGGGTATAATGGG-3′) (SEQ ID NO: 333) and C54- IFNG261F (5′-ATTATTTTATTTTAAAAAATTTGTG-3′) (SEQ ID NO: 334), specific to the CpG sites -186 and -54, respectively. Commercially available non-methylated and methylated DNA (Zymo Research) were used as controls for DNA methylation. The methylation percentages of the two CpG sites (-186 and -54) were pooled for each treatment. The percent difference in DNA methylation was calculated relative to the levels of DNA methylation at the two CpG sites observed in unexposed NK cells. Analysis of the DNA methylation status of these two IFNγ CpG sites revealed higher levels of DNA demethylation in NK cells supported by 7t15-21s + anti-TF- antibody compared to unexposed NK cells (Figure 194). These 7t15-21s + anti-TF- antibody supported NK cells exhibited 47.70% ± 11.76 difference in DNA methylation (i.e., demethylation) compared to unexposed NK cells. The DNA methylation levels of these two IFNγ CpG sites correlated with increased expression of IFNγ following treatment with 7t15-21s + anti-TF-antibody. These data suggest that long-term exposure of NK cells (14 days expansion in culture) with a combination regimen of 7t15-21s + anti-TF-antibody is able to induce DNA demethylation of the two hypomethylated IFNγ CpG sites (-186 and -54) and that 7t15-21s + anti-TF-antibody (IgG1) can epigenetically reprogram gene expression of IFNγ via DNA demethylation of CpG sites leading to interconversion of NK cells into innate immune memory NK cells. Example 76: Chemotherapy Induces p21CIP1p21 Senescence-associated Gene Expression in C57BL/6 Mice Chemotherapy induces p21CIP1p21 senescence-associated gene expression in C57BL/6 Mice. Figure 203A is a schematic showing the treatment regimen. C57BL/6 mice were treated with three doses of chemotherapy docetaxel (DTX) (10 mg/kg) at day 1, day 4 and day 7. At day 9 the mice were sacrificed, and lung and liver tissues were harvested to evaluate the senescence markers. Figures 203B and 203C show expression of p21CIP1p21 in lung (B) and liver (C) tissues respectively. Lung and liver tissues were homogenized by using mortar and pestle in liquid nitrogen. Homogenized tissues were transferred in fresh Eppendorf tubes containing 1 mL of Trizol (Thermo Fischer). Total RNA was extracted using RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen #74106) according to the manufacturer's instructions.1 µg of total RNA was used for cDNA synthesis using the QuantiTect Reverse Transcription Kit (Qiagen). Real-time PCR was carried out with CFX96 Detection System (Bio-Rad) using FAM labeled predesigned primer p21CIP1p21 were purchased from Thermo Scientific. Reactions were run in triplicate for all the genes examined. The housekeeping gene 18S ribosomal RNA was used as an internal control to normalize the variability in expression levels. The expression of each target mRNA relative to 18S rRNA was calculated based on Ct as 2–Δ(ΔCt), in which ΔCt = Cttarget– Ct18S. As shown in Figures 203A-203C, the senescence marker p21CIP1p21 was induced in the lung and liver tissues of mice treated with docetaxel. Example 77: Immuno-phenotype and Cell Proliferation following Treatment with IL-15-based Agents (Day 3 post treatment) The mouse blood was prepared in order to evaluate the different subsets of immune cells after treatment with TGFRt15-TGFRs. C57BL/6, 6-week-old mice were purchased from The Jackson Laboratory. Mice were housed in a temperature and light controlled environment. Mice were divided into groups as follows: Saline control group (n =6), docetaxel group (n =6), docetaxel with TGFRt15-TGFRs group (n =6) and docetaxel with IL-15SA group (n =6). The IL-15 superagonist (IL-15SA) was constructed and administered as previously described (Zhu et al., J. Immunol. 183(6):3598-3607, 2009). Senescence was induced in mice with three doses of docetaxel (10 mg/kg) at day 1, 4 and 7. On day 8, mice were treated subcutaneously with either PBS or with TGFRt15-TGFRs (3 mg/kg) or with IL-15SA (0.2 mg/kg). The mouse blood was collected from submandibular vein on Day 3 post treatment in EDTA contained tubes. The whole blood was centrifuged to collect plasma @ 3000 RPM for 10 minutes in a micro centrifuge. Plasma was stored at -80 ^C and whole blood was processed for immune cells phenotyping by flow cytometry. Whole bloods were lysed in ACK buffer for 5 minutes at room temperature. Cell were washed in FACS buffer (1X PBS (Hyclone) with 0.5% BSA (EMD Millipore) and 0.001% Sodium Azide (Sigma)). To assess the different types of immune cells in blood, cells were stained for cell-surface CD4, CD45, CD8 and NK1.1 (BioLegend) for 30 minutes at RT. After surface staining, cells were washed (1500 RPM for 5 minutes at room temperature) in FACS buffer (1X PBS (Hyclone) with 0.5% BSA (EMD Millipore) and 0.001% Sodium Azide (Sigma)). Cells were treated with permeabilization buffer (Invitrogen) for 20 min at 4 ^C followed by wash with Perm buffer (Invitrogen). Cells were then stained for intracellular markers (Ki67) and FoxP3 for 30 min at room temperature. After two washes, cells were resuspended in fixation buffer and analyzed by Flow Cytometry (Celesta-BD Bioscience). These data show that IL-15-based agents TGFRt15-TGFRs and IL-15SA can stimulate and promote the expansion and proliferation of NK and CD8+ T cells after docetaxel treatment (Figure 204). Example 78: TGFRt15-TGFRs Treatment Reduces Senescence-associated Gene Expression in C57BL/6 Mice Chemotherapy induced senescence-associated gene expression was significantly reduced with TGFRt15-TGFRs in the lung and liver of C57BL/6 mice. C57BL/6 mice were treated with three doses of chemotherapy docetaxel (10 mg/kg) at day 1, day 4 and day 7. On day 8, docetaxel treated mice were divided into three groups. The first group received no treatment, second group received TGFRt15-TGFRs and third group received IL-15SA. Saline treated mice were used as controls. The TGFRt15-TGFRs was administered at a dosage of 3 mg/kg and IL-15SA was administered at 0.2 mg/kg. On Day 3 post-study drug treatment, the mice were sacrificed and lung and liver were collected. Figures 205A-205C show expression of p21CIP1p21 and CD26 in lung (A and B) and p21CIP1p21 in liver (C) tissues respectively. Lung and liver tissues were homogenized by using mortar and pestle in liquid nitrogen. Homogenized tissues were transferred in fresh Eppendorf tubes containing 1mL of Trizol (Thermo Fischer). Total RNA was extracted using RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen #74106) according to the manufacturer's instructions.1 µg of total RNA was used for cDNA synthesis using the QuantiTect Reverse Transcription Kit (Qiagen). Real-time PCR was carried out with CFX96 Detection System (Bio-Rad) using FAM labeled predesigned primers p21CIP1p21 and CD26 were purchased from Thermo Scientific. Reactions were run in triplicate for all the genes examined. The housekeeping gene 18S ribosomal RNA was used as an internal control to normalize the variability in expression levels. The expression of each target mRNA relative to 18S rRNA was calculated based on Ct as 2–Δ(ΔCt), in which ΔCt = Cttarget– Ct18S. As shown in Figures 205A-205C, the therapy-induced senescence marker p21CIP1p21 was significantly reduced in the lung and liver tissues of mice treated with TGFRt15-TGFRs. The therapy-induced senescence marker CD26 was also significantly reduced in the lung tissues of mice treated with TGFRt15-TGFRs. Example 79: Immuno-Phenotype Following Treatment with IL-15-based Agents The mouse blood was prepared in order to evaluate the different subsets of immune cells after treatment with IL-15-based agents: TGFRt15-TGFRs, an IL-15 superagonist (IL-15SA) and an IL-15 fusion with a D8N mutant knocking out the IL-15 activity (TGFRt15*-TGFRs). C57BL/6, 6-week-old mice were purchased from The Jackson Laboratory. Mice were housed in a temperature and light controlled environment. Mice were divided into groups (n =6/group) and treated with the following: 1) PBS (saline) control, 2) docetaxel, 3) docetaxel with TGFRt15-TGFRs, 4) docetaxel with IL-15SA, 5) docetaxel with an IL-15 mutant (TGFRt15*-TGFRs) and 6) docetaxel with an IL-15 superagonist (IL-15SA) plus TGFRt15*-TGFRs. Senescence was induced in mice with three dose of docetaxel (10 mg/kg) at day 1, 4 and 7. On day 8, the mice were treated subcutaneously with PBS, TGFRt15-TGFRs, TGFRt15*-TGFRs, IL-15SA or in combinations as discussed above. TGFRt15-TGFRs and TGFRt15*-TGFRs were administered at a dosage of 3 mg/kg and IL-15SA was administered at 0.05 mg/kg. The mouse blood was collected from the submandibular vein on day 3 post-study drug treatment into EDTA tubes. The whole blood was centrifuged to collect plasma at 3000 RPM for 10 minutes in a micro centrifuge. Plasma was stored at -80 ^C and whole blood was processed for immune cell phenotyping by flow cytometry. Whole blood was lysed in ACK buffer for 5 minutes at 37 ^C. Cell were washed in FACS buffer (1X PBS (Hyclone) with 0.5% BSA (EMD Millipore) and 0.001% Sodium Azide (Sigma)). To assess the different types of immune cells in the blood, cells were stained for cell-surface CD4, CD45, CD19 CD8 and NK1.1 (BioLegend) for 30 minutes at room temperature (RT). After surface staining, cells were washed (1500 RPM for 5 minutes at room temperature) in FACS buffer (1X PBS (Hyclone) with 0.5% BSA (EMD Millipore) and 0.001% Sodium Azide (Sigma)). Cells were treated with permeabilization buffer (Invitrogen) for 20 min at 4 ^C followed by wash with Perm buffer (Invitrogen). Cells were then stained for intracellular markers (Ki67) for 30 min at RT. After two washes, cells were resuspended in fixation buffer and analyzed by Flow Cytometry (Celesta-BD Bioscience) (Figures 206 and 207). These data show that IL-15-based agents TGFRt15-TGFRs and IL-15SA can stimulate and promote the expansion and proliferation of NK and CD8+ T cells after docetaxel treatment. Increased NK and CD8+ T cell expansion and proliferation was not seen with fusion proteins lacking IL-15 activity (i.e., TGFRt15*-TGFRs). Example 80: Evaluation of Senescence Markers p21CIP1p21 and CD26 in Lung and Liver Tissues Markers for cellular senescence were evaluated in tissues of normal mice following chemotherapy and administration of study treatments. C57BL/6, 6-week-old mice were purchased from The Jackson Laboratory. Mice were housed in a temperature and light controlled environment. Mice were divided into six groups and treated with the following: 1) PBS (saline) control (n =5), 2) docetaxel (n =8), 3) docetaxel with TGFRt15-TGFRs (n =8), 4) docetaxel with IL15SA (n =8), 5) docetaxel with an IL-15 mutant (TGFRt15*-TGFRs) (n =8) and 6) docetaxel with an IL-15 superagonist (IL- 15SA) plus TGFRt15*-TGFRs (n =6). Senescence was induced in mice with three doses of docetaxel (10 mg/kg) at day 1, 4 and 7. On day 8, the mice were treated subcutaneously with PBS, TGFRt15-TGFRs, TGFRt15*-TGFRs, IL-15SA or in combinations as discussed below. TGFRt15-TGFRs and TGFRt15*-TGFRs were administered at a dosage of 3 mg/kg and IL-15SA was administered at 0.05 mg/kg. The mouse tissues were prepared in order to evaluate the different senescence markers. Mice were euthanized on day 7 post-study drug treatment and the liver and lung tissues were harvested and stored in liquid nitrogen in 1.7 mL Eppendorf tubes. Samples were homogenized by using mortar and pestle in liquid nitrogen. Homogenized tissues were transferred in fresh Eppendorf tubes containing 1 mL of Trizol (Thermo Fischer). Total RNA was extracted using RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen #74106) according to the manufacturer's instructions and 1 µg of total RNA was used for cDNA synthesis using the QuantiTect Reverse Transcription Kit (Qiagen). Real-time PCR was carried out with CFX96 Detection System (Bio-Rad) using FAM labeled predesigned primers purchased from Thermo Scientific. Reactions were run in triplicate for all the genes examined. The housekeeping gene 18S ribosomal RNA was used as an internal control to normalize the variability in expression levels. The expression of each target mRNA relative to 18S rRNA was calculated based on Ct as 2–Δ(ΔCt), in which ΔCt = Cttarget– Ct18S. As shown in Figures 208A-208C, the senescence markers p21 and CD26 were induced in the lung [(A) and (B), respectively] and p21CIP1p21 in liver (C) tissues of mice treated with docetaxel. The senescence markers p21CIP1p21 and CD26 in the lungs and p21CIP1p21 in the liver were reduced of the mice treated with TGFRt15-TGFRs, IL-15SA and combination of IL-15SA and TGFRt15*-TGFRs mutant. However, the TGFRt15*- TGFRs mutant treated mice lung failed to eliminate the senescence markers in these tissues. These results show that IL-15 activity is important for clearance of TIS senescence cells. Example 81: Immuno-Phenotype Following Treatment with TGFRt15-TGFRs The mouse blood was prepared in order to evaluate the different subsets of immune cells after treatment with TGFRt15-TGFRs. C57BL/6, 76-week-old aged mice were purchased from The Jackson Laboratory. Mice were housed in a temperature and light controlled environment. Mice were divided into two groups as follows: PBS control group (n =6) and TGFRt15-TGFRs group (n =6). Mice were treated subcutaneously with either PBS or with TGFRt15-TGFRs at a dosage of 3 mg/kg on Day 0. On Day 4 following the first dose of study treatment, the mouse blood was collected from the submandibular vein in EDTA contained tubes. The whole blood was centrifuged to collect plasma at 3000 RPM for 10 minutes in a micro centrifuge. Plasma was stored at - 80 ^C and the blood was processed for immune cell phenotyping by flow cytometry. Whole blood was lysed in ACK buffer for 5 minutes at room temperature. Cells were washed in FACS buffer (1X PBS (Hyclone) with 0.5% BSA (EMD Millipore) and 0.001% Sodium Azide (Sigma)). To assess the different types of immune cells in blood, cells were stained for cell-surface CD4, CD45, CD19 CD8 and NK1.1 (BioLegend) for 30 minutes at room temperature (RT). After surface staining, cells were washed (1500 RPM for 5 minutes at RT) in FACS buffer (1X PBS (Hyclone) with 0.5% BSA (EMD Millipore) and 0.001% Sodium Azide (Sigma)). Cells were treated with permeabilization buffer (Invitrogen) for 20 min at 4 ^C followed by wash with Perm buffer (Invitrogen). Cells were then stained for intracellular markers (Ki67) for 30 min at RT. After two washes, cells were resuspended in fixation buffer and analyzed by flow cytometry (Celesta-BD Bioscience). As shown in Figure 195, the percentages of CD8+ T cells and proliferation of CD8+ T cells, which was measured by Ki67, significantly increased, 4 days after the first dose of TGFRt15-TGFRs. We also observed an increase in NK cells and proliferation of NK cells as shown in Figure 196. We observed significant decreases in CD19+ cells after the first dose of TGFRt15-TGFRs. These results demonstrate that a single dose of TGFRt15-TGFRs administered subcutaneously can stimulate immune cells, such as CD8+ T cells and NK cells to proliferate in the blood of aged mice. Example 82: TGFRt15-TGFRs Reduces Senescence-Associated β-Gal from Liver and Lung Tissues The mouse liver and lungs were prepared in order to evaluate the senescence- associated β-gal in tissues after treatment with TGFRt15-TGFRs. C57BL/6, 76-week-old aged mice were purchased from The Jackson Laboratory. Mice were housed in a temperature and light controlled environment. Mice were divided into two groups as follows: PBS control group (n =6) and TGFRt15-TGFRs group (n =6). Mice were treated subcutaneously with either PBS or with TGFRt15-TGFRs at a dosage of 3 mg/kg on Day 0 and Day 10. On Day 7 following the second dose of study treatment, mice were euthanized and liver and lungs were harvested, homogenized in PBS containing 2% PBS, and filtered in 70-micron filter to obtain a single cell suspension. Cells were spun down then resuspended in 5 mL RPMI containing 0.5 mg/mL collagenase IV and 0.02 mg/mL DNAse in 14 mL round bottom tubes. Then, the cells were shaken on orbital shaker for 1 hr at 37°C. The cells were washed twice with RPMI. Cells were resuspended at 2 x 106/mL in a 24 well flat bottom plate in 2 mL of complete media (RPMI 1640 (Gibco) supplemented with 2 mM L-glutamine (Thermo Life Technologies), penicillin (Thermo Life Technologies), streptomycin (Thermo Life Technologies), and 10% FBS (Hyclone)) and cultured for 48 hrs at 37 ^C, 5% CO2. Cells were harvested, washed once in warm complete media at 1000 rpm for 10 minutes at room temperature. The cell pellet was resuspended in 500 µL of fresh media containing 1.5 µL of Senescence Dye per tube. Then, the cells were further incubated for 1-2 hr at 37°C, 5% CO2 and washed 2X with 500 µL Wash buffer. Cell pellet was resuspended cells in 500 µL of wash buffer and was analyzed immediately by flow cytometry (Celesta-BD Bioscience). As shown in Figure 197, the percentages of senescence-associated β-gal+ cells decreased 7 days following the second dose of TGFRt15-TGFRs. These results demonstrate that TGFRt15-TGFRs can reduce the senescence-associated β-gal in tissues of aged mice. Example 83: Senescence Markers CD26, IL-1 ^, p16INK4 and p21CIP1 in Kidney, Skin, Liver and Lung Tissues The mouse kidney, skin, liver and lungs were harvested in order to evaluate the senescence markers CD26, IL-1α, p16 and p21 by quantitative PCR in tissues after treatment with TGFRt15-TGFRs or the PBS control group. C57BL/6, 76-week-old aged mice were purchased from The Jackson Laboratory. Mice were housed in a temperature and light controlled environment for one week before performing any study. Mice were divided into two groups as follows: PBS control group (n =6) and TGFRt15-TGFRs group (n =6). Mice were treated subcutaneously either with PBS or with TGFRt15- TGFRs at a dosage of 3 mg/kg on Day 0 and Day 10. On Day 7 following the second dose of study treatment, mice were euthanized and the kidney, skin, liver and lung were harvested and stored in liquid nitrogen in 1.7 mL Eppendorf tubes. Samples were homogenized by using mortar and pestle in liquid nitrogen. Homogenized tissues were transferred in fresh Eppendorf tubes containing 1 mL of Trizol (Thermo Fischer). Total RNA was extracted using RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen #74106) according to the manufacturer's instructions and 1 µg of total RNA was used for cDNA synthesis using the QuantiTect Reverse Transcription Kit (Qiagen). Real-time PCR was carried out with CFX96 Detection System (Bio-Rad) using FAM labeled predesigned primers purchased from Thermo Scientific. Reactions were run in triplicate for all the genes examined. The housekeeping gene 18S ribosomal RNA was used as an internal control to normalize the variability in expression levels. The expression of each target mRNA relative to 18S rRNA was calculated based on Ct as 2–Δ(ΔCt), in which ΔCt = Cttarget– Ct18S. As shown in Figures 198-201, there was no difference in senescence markers CD26 and IL-1α, however p21CIP1 showed decreased expression in the liver (Figure 198), lung (Figure 201) and skin (Figure 200) of TGFRt15-TGFRs-treated-mice. In the kidney (Figure 199), both p21CIP1 and IL1α markers were significantly decreased in the aged mice 7 days after the second dose of TGFRt15-TGFRs. Example 84: β-Gal Staining on Kidney Tissues by Histology The mouse kidney was prepared in order to evaluate senescence marker β-gal in kidney tissues after treatment with TGFRt15-TGFRs. C57BL/6, 76-week-old aged mice were purchased from The Jackson Laboratory. Mice were housed in a temperature and light controlled environment. Mice were divided into two groups as follows: PBS control group (n =6) and TGFRt15-TGFRs group (n =6). Mice were treated subcutaneously with either PBS or with TGFRt15-TGFRs at a dosage of 3 mg/kg on Day 0 and Day 10. On Day 7 following the second dose of study treatment, mice were euthanized and the kidneys were harvested, and half of the kidney tissue was embedded in tissue-tek cyromolds contain OCT compound. Tissue-tek cyromolds containing tissue were immediately frozen down in the vapor phase of liquid nitrogen. Samples were further processed to cut 4-8 um thick cryostat sections (Lecia Cm 1800 Cryostat) and mounted on superfrost plus slides. Slides with sections were processed for senescence b- galactosidase staining kit (Cell Signaling) as per manufacturer’s protocol. Tissue sections were observed under microscope. As shown in Figure 202, decreased numbers of senescence-associated β-gal+ cells were observed in TGFRt15-TGFRs treated mice compared to control mice (n=3). These results demonstrate that TGFRt15-TGFRs treatment is able to reduce senescence- associated β-gal in tissues of aged mice. Example 85: TGFRt15*-TGFRs fusion protein generation A fusion protein complex was generated comprising of TGFR/IL15RαSu and TGFR/TF/IL-15D8N fusion proteins (Figures 209 and 210). The human TGF- ^ receptor (TGFR), IL-15 alpha receptor sushi domain (IL15RaSu), tissue factor (TF) and IL-15 with D8N mutant (IL15D8N) sequences were obtained from the GenBank website and DNA fragments for these sequences were synthesized by Genewiz. Specifically, a construct was made linking the TGFR sequence to the N-terminus coding region of IL15RaSu and the TGFR sequence to the N-terminus of tissue factor 219 followed by the N-terminus coding region of IL-15D8N. The nucleic acid sequence of the TGFR/IL15RaSu construct (including signal peptide sequence) is as follows: (Signal peptide) ATGAAGTGGGTGACCTTCATCAGCCTGCTGTTCCTGTTCTCCAGCGCCT ACTCC (Single chain Human

TGFR/IL15RαSu and TGFR/TF/IL-15D8N constructs were cloned into a modified retrovirus expression vectors as described previously (Hughes MS, Yu YY, Dudley ME, Zheng Z, Robbins PF, Li Y, et al). The expression vectors were transfected into CHO-K1 cells. Co-expression of the two constructs in CHO-K1 cells allowed for formation and secretion of the soluble TGFR/IL15RαSu - TGFR/TF/IL-15D8N protein complex (referred to as TGFRt15*-TGFRs), which can be purified by anti-TF antibody affinity. Example 86: Binding Activity of TGFRt15-TGFRs and TGFRt15*-TGFRs to TGF- β1 and LAP Binding activity of TGFRt15-TGFRs to TGF-β1 and LAP was determined by ELISA. TGFRt15-TGFRs (5 mg/mL) was used to capture the titrated TGF-β1 (labeled as TGFβ1, BioLegend) and latent associated peptide of TGF-β1 (LAP, R&D Systems). TGF-β1 was detected by biotinylated anti-TGF-β1 (0.2 mg/mL, R&D Systems) and LAP by biotinylated anti-LAP (0.2 mg/mL, R&D Systems) followed by peroxidase conjugated streptavidin (Jackson ImmunoResearch Lab). 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6- sulphonic acid) (ABTS, Surmodics IVD) was used as a substrate and measured by a plate reader. As shown in Figure 211A, the results demonstrate that TGFRt15-TGFRs binds to TGF-β1 and LAP similarly, and more strongly than the Fc fusion. Binding activity of TGF-β1 receptor/Fc fusion to TGF-β1 and LAP was determined by ELISA. A commercial TGF-β1 receptor II - Fc fusion (TGFRII/Fc) was used to compare the binding activity of TGFRt15-TGFRs to TGF-β1 and LAP. TGFRII/Fc (5 mg/mL, R&D Systems) was used to capture the titrated TGF-β1 and LAP. Other procedures were the same as described above. As shown in Figure 211B, the results demonstrate that TGFRII/Fc binds to TGF-β1 and LAP similarly and its binding is comparable with TGFRt15-TGFRs, and stronger than the Fc fusion. Binding Activity of TGFRt15-TGFRs and TGFRt15*-TGFRs to TGF-β1 and LAP TGFRt15-TGFRs and TGFRt15*-TGFRs (10 mg/mL) were used to capture the titrated TGF-β1 LAP. Other procedures were the same as described above. As shown in Figure 211C and D, the results demonstrate that TGFRt15*-TGFRs binds to TGF-β1 and LAP similarly and its binding is comparable with TGFRt15-TGFRs, and stronger than the Fc fusion. Binding of TGFRt15-TGFRs and TGFRt15*-TGFRs to CTLL-2 Cells IL-2-dependent CTLL-2 cells were stained with TGFRt15-TGFRs (50 nM), TGFRt15*-TGFRs (50 nM), 7t15-21s (50 nM, IL-7-TF-IL15 and IL-21-IL-15RaSu) (as a control fusion molecule, which does not contains TGF-β1 receptor II), and PBS (as a negative control) for 60 minutes and probed by biotinylated second staining antibodies (Anti-TF: anti-human tissue factor, HCW Biologics and Anti-TGFR: anti-TGF-β receptor II: R&D Systems) and then followed by R-phycoerythrin-streptavidin (Jackson ImmunoResearch Lab). The mean fluorescent intensity (MFI) of staining was measured by flow cytometry. As shown in Figure 211E, the results show that TGFRt15-TGFRs bound to CTLL-2 cells significantly better than other molecules, TGFRt15*-TGFRs less than TGFRt15-TGFRs because of the IL-15 mutant. However, 7t15-21s binding to CTLL-2 cells could be detected with anti-TF but not anti-TGFR. Example 87: Biological Activities of TGFRt15-TGFRs and TGFRt15*-TGFRs with Cell-Based Assays TGF- β1 Blocking Activities of TGFRt15-TGFRs and TGFRt15*-TGFRs. HEK-Blue TGF-β cells (InvivoGen) were incubated in IMDM-10 with titrated TGFRt15-TGFRs, TGFRt15*-TGFRs and TGFRII/Fc as a control in the presence of TGF-β1 (0.1 nM, BioLegend). TGFRII/Fc is a commercial TGF-β1 receptor II - Fc fusion (R&D Systems). After 24 hours of incubation, the culture supernatants were mixed with QUANTI-Blue (InvivoGen) and incubated for 1-3 hrs. The OD620 values were measured by a plate reader. As shown in Figure 212A, TGFRt15-TGFRs and TGFRt15*-TGFRs had the same TGF-β1 blocking activity. In contrast, TGFRII/Fc (IC50=470.2 pM) had about 10 fold lower TGF-β1 blocking activity than TGFRt15- TGFRs (IC50=43.2 pM) or TGFRt15*-TGFRs (45.2 pM). The blocking activity was calculated with GraphPad Prism 7.04. IL-15 Activity of TGFRt15-TGFRs and TGFRt15*-TGFRs IL-15 dependent 32Dβ cells were cultured in IMDM-10 with titrated TGFRt15- TGFRs, TGFRt15*-TGFRs and IL15 as a control. WST-1 (Fisher Scientific) was added 2 days later and the OD450 values were measured by a plate reader. As shown in Figure 212B, TGFRt15-TGFRs (EC50=1641 pM) had about 20 fold lower IL-15 biological activity than IL-15 itself (IC50=81.8 pM). As expected, TGFRt15*-TGFRs had no detectable IL-15 activity. The IL-15 activity was calculated with GraphPad Prism 7.04. Reversal of TGF-β Growth Suppression of CTLL-2 by TGFRt15*-TGFRs TGF- β includes three isoforms (TGF-β1, TGF-β2 and TGF-β3). which have similar biological functions. CTLL-2 cells were used to compare biological blocking activity of TGFRt15*-TGFRs in this study. TGFRt15*-TGFRs is structurally very similar to TGFRt15-TGFRs, which cannot be used to do so due to the IL-15 activity of TGFRt15-TGFRs. CTLL-2 cells were cultured in RPMI-10 with titrated mouse IL-4 (Biolegend), TGF-β (5 ng/ml, TGF-β1 (Biolegend), TGF-β2, β3 (R&D Systems)) and TGFRt15*-TGFRs (21 nM; TGFRt15*-TGFRs:TGF-β molar ratio=100:1) for 5 days. Cell proliferation (OD570-600 value) was determined by a plate reader after adding PrestoBlue (Fisher Scientific) at the last day culture. Figure 212C shows that all three TGF-β similarly inhibited IL-4 induced CTLL-2 growth in the absence of TGFRt15*- TGFRs. Figure 212D shows that TGFRt15*-TGFRs (21 nM; TGF-β:TGFRt15*-TGFRs molar ratio=1:100) significantly reversed the inhibition of TGF-β1 and TGF-β3 of IL-4- induced CTLL-2 cell growth, In contrast, TGFRt15*-TGFRs had minimum reversal TGF-β2 inhibitory activity. Example 88: Stability of TGFRt15-TGFRs Stability of TGFRt15-TGFRs by ELISA. TGFRt15-TGFRs was preincubated in RPMI medium with 50% human serum at 4°C, room temperature (RT) or 37 °C for 10 days. IL-15 domain and TGFβRII domain of TGFRt15-TGFRs were evaluated by ELISA. Anti-TF antibody (HCW Biologics) was used to capture TGFRt15-TGFRs molecules and biotinylated anti-IL-15 (R&D Systems) was used to detect IL-15 domain and biotinylated anti-TGFβRII (R&D Systems) was used to detect TGFβRII domain. Biotinylated detection antibodies were probed by peroxidase-streptavidin (Jackson ImmunoResearch Lab). 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS, Surmodics IVD) was used as a substrate and OD405 value was measured by a plate reader. As shown in Figure 213A and B, the results show that there were no significant changes in the domains of TGFRt15-TGFRs following 10 day incubation 4°C, RT, or 37°C. These findings demonstrate that IL-15 domain and TGFβRII domain of TGFRt15- TGFRs remain intact when incubated with human serum under the evaluated conditions. Stability of TGFRt15-TGFRs Biological Activities with Cell-based Assays TGFRt15-TGFRs was preincubated in RPMI-10 with 50% human serum at 4 °C, room temperature (RT) or 37°C for 10 days. TGF-β1 neutralizing activity of TGFRt15- TGFRs was accessed with HEK-Blue TGF-β cells (TGF-β1 activity report cell line, InvivoGen). HEK-Blue TGF-β cells were incubated in IMDM-10 with titrated TGFRt15-TGFRs in the presence of TGF-β1 (0.1 nM). After 24 hours of incubation, the culture supernatants were mixed with QUANTI-Blue (InvivoGen) and incubated for 1-3 hrs. The OD620 values were measured by a plate reader. As shown in Figure 213C, the results show that there were no changes in the TGF-β1 neutralizing activity of TGFRt15- TGFRs following incubation in human serum for 10 days at 4 °C, RT, or 37 °C. IL-15 activity of TGFRt15-TGFRs was evaluated with IL-15 dependent 32Dβ cells. 32Dβ cells were cultured in IMDM-10 with titrated TGFRt15-TGFRs. WST-1 (InvitroGen) was added 2 days later and the OD450 values were measured by a plate reader. As shown in Figure 213D, the results show that there were no changes in the IL-15 activity of TGFRt15-TGFRs following incubation in human serum for 10 days at 4 °C, RT, or 37 °C. Example 89: Reversal of TGF-β1 Immunosuppression for Human NK Cells and PBMC by TGFRt15-TGFRs and TGFRt15*-TGFRs Human NK cells were purified from blood buffy coats (4 donors, One Blood) with RosetteSep™ Human NK Cell Enrichment Cocktail (StemCell) according to StemCell instruction and PBMCs were isolated from blood buffy coats (6 donors) with Ficoll-Paque (Sigma-Aldrich) density centrifugation. NK cells and PBMCs were cultured in RPMI-10 with IL-15 (10 ng/mL, PeproTech) and/or TGF-β1 (10 ng/mL, Biolegend), TGFRt15-TGFRs (42 nM or 4.2 nM) or TGFRt15*-TGFRs (42 nM or 4.2 nM) for 3 days. The cultures were harvested and used for the following assays: cell mediated cytotoxicity assay (Figures 214A and B) and flow cytometry analyses for intracellular granzyme B (Figures 214C and D) and Interferon gamma (IFN ^, Figures 214E and F). Cultured NK cells and PBMCs were used as effector cells and K562 tumor cells (ATCC) as target cells in cell mediated cytotoxicity assay. The mixtures of the effector cells and K562 tumor cells were incubated in RPMI-10 at 37°C for 4 hours at E:T ratio=4:1 for NK cells (Figure 214A) or 20:1 for PBMCs (Figure 214B). The levels of dead K562 cells were determined by flow cytometry. As shown in Figures 214A and B, the results showed that there were significantly less dead K562 target cells in the presence of TGF- β1 than were observed medium control cultures, indicating that TGF- β1 inhibits immune cell cytotoxicity. However, there were significantly more dead K562 target cells in the presence of TGF-β1 and TGFRt15-TGFRs or TGFRt15*-TGFRs than was observed cultures incubated with TGF-β1 alone conditions. These findings demonstrate TGFRt15-TGFRs and TGFRt15*-TGFRs significantly reduced TGF-β1 immunosuppression and enhanced the cytotoxicity of human NK cells and PBMCs against K562 target cells in a concentration dependent manner. Additionally, the IL-15 activity of TGFRt15-TGFRs further enhances cytotoxicity of human NK cells and PBMCs when compared to the activity of TGFRt15*-TGFRs. Cultured NK cells and PBMCs were stained with fluorochrome labeled anti-CD56 and anti-CD16 human NK cell surface markers and then with fluorochrome-labeled granzyme B and IFN ^ intracellular molecules (BioLegend). The granzyme B and IFN ^ expression (MFI: mean fluorescence intensity) in the purified NK cells and gated NK cells (CD56+ and/or CD16+) of PBMC cultures were analyzed by flow cytometry. As shown in Figures 214C and D, there was significantly less granzyme B (Figures 214C and 214D) and IFN ^ (Figures 214E and 214F) expression in NK cells cultured in the presence of TGF-β1 than was observed in cells cultured in medium alone, indicating that TGF-β1 inhibits immune cell activation. However, there was significantly higher granzyme B and IFN ^ expression NK cells cultures in the presence of TGF-β1 and TGFRt15-TGFRs or TGFRt15*-TGFRs than was observed in cells cultured in TGF-β1 alone. The TGFRt15*-TGFRs had a minimum effect on granzyme B and IFN ^ expression at 4.2 nM concentration. These findings demonstrate TGFRt15-TGFRs and TGFRt15*-TGFRs significantly enhanced the granzyme B and IFN ^ expression of human NK cells in a concentration-dependent manner through the activities of the IL-15 and TGFβRII domains. Example 90: Half-life of TGFRt15-TGFRs in C57BL/6 Mice The pharmacokinetics (half-life, t1/2) of TGFRt15-TGFRs was evaluated in female C57BL/6 mice. The mice were treated subcutaneously with TGFRt15-TGFRs at a dosage of 3 mg/kg. The mouse blood was collected from tail vein at various time points and the serum was prepared. The TGFRt15-TGFRs concentrations in mouse serum was determined with ELISA. Anti-TF antibody (anti-human tissue factor antibody generated in HCW Biologics) was used to capture TGFRt15-TGFRs molecules and biotinylated anti-TGFβRII (R&D Systems) was used to detect TGFβRII domain. Biotinylated detection antibodies were probed by peroxidase-streptavidin (Jackson ImmunoResearch Lab). 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS, Surmodics IVD) was used as a substrate and the OD405 values were measured by a plate reader. As shown in Figure 215, the half-life of TGFRt15-TGFRs was 18.22 hours in C57BL/6 mice calculated with GraphPad Prism 7.04. Example 91: Toxicity of TGFRt15-TGFRs in C57BL/6 Mice A single dose of TGFRt15-TGFRs (50-400 mg/kg) was subcutaneously injected into C57BL/6 female mice (7 weeks old, n=4). Mouse bodyweight was measured as shown in Figure 216 and clinical signs (mortality, morbidity, ruffled fur, hunched posture, lethargy, etc.) were assessed during experimental period. The mice that received 200 mg/kg or 400 mg/kg of TGFRt15-TGFRs showed less activity 6-8 days post- treatment and without other significant clinical signs. TGFRt15-TGFRs at 200 mg/kg or 400 mg/kg caused loss in mouse body weight compared with PBS group especially on day 7 after treatment (p<0.05). The affected mice gradually recovered after 10 days without mortality or morbidity. As shown in Figure 216, these findings indicate that C57BL/6 mice can tolerate single dose TGFRt15-TGFRs at up to 100 mg/kg. Example 92: Antitumor Activity of TGFRt15-TGFRs in a C57BL/6 Murine Melanoma Model Mouse B16F10 melanoma cells were subcutaneously injected into C57BL/6 mice (The Jackson Laboratory) to establish the mouse melanoma model. Four days after tumor cell injection, the mice were divided into different groups to receive the following immunotherapies: Group 1: PBS vehicle control; Group 2: antitumor antibody TA99 (10 mg/kg) alone control; Group 3: TA99 combined with IL-15SA (0.05 mg/kg); Group 4: TA99 combined with TGFRt15-TGFRs (4.93 mg/kg, equivalent IL-15 activity of 0.05 mg/kg IL-15SA); and Group 5: TA99 combined with TGFRt15*-TGFRs (4.93 mg/kg. IL-15D8N mutant without IL-15 activity). The tumor volume was measured and calculated using the formula: length x width x width/2 formula. As shown in Figure 217, the results indicated that the mice receiving antitumor antibody TA99 combined with TGFRt15-TGFRs or IL15SA had significantly smaller tumors at day 11 after tumor inoculation, when compared to the PBS, TA99 antibody alone, and TA99 with TGFRt15*-TGFRs groups (p<0.05). There was no significant difference among groups 1, 2, and 5 and between groups 3 and 4. These findings demonstrated that IL-15 activity of TGFRt15-TGFRs was important for antitumor activity of TGFRt15-TGFRs. Example 93: Model of Lung Fibrosis – Treatment with TGFRt15-TGFRs Inflammatory and fibrotic lung diseases (including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and cystic fibrosis) are major causes of death with limited treatment options. Additionally, various therapies result in lung injury side effects leading to pulmonary fibrosis. For example, lung toxicity develops in ∼10% of cancer patients receiving bleomycin chemotherapy. These effects have led to the use of bleomycin treatment in rodents to model pulmonary fibrosis for the study of mechanisms involved in fibrogenesis and for evaluation of potential therapies. To assess the activity of TGFRt15-TGFRs in this model, nine-week old C57Bl6/j male mice were given 50 µL of bleomycin (2.5 mg/kg, single dose) through the oropharyngeal route. Mice were given TGFRt15-TGFRs subcutaneously (3 mg/kg) on day 17 following bleomycin treatment. Mice were sacrificed on day 28 post-bleomycin. Lungs were isolated and left lung was homogenized and 100 µL of homogenate was assayed for hydroxyproline content as a measure of collagen deposition using commercially available kit according to manufacturer’s instructions. The data was expressed as µg of hydroxyproline content per gram of lung. As shown in Figure 218, the results indicate that TGFRt15-TGFRs therapy significantly reduced collagen deposition (i.e., fibrosis) in the lungs of bleomycin-treated mice. Example 94: In Vivo Characterization of the Activities of TGFRt15-TGFRs and TGFRt15*-TGFRs It has been shown that protection from obesity and diabetes in leptin deficient ob/ob mice can be achieved by blockade of TGF-β/Smad3 signaling. To assess if TGFRt15-TGFRs or TGFRt15*-TGFRs can protect mice from obesity and diabetes by blockade of TGF-β/Smad3 signaling, the leptin receptor deficient db/db mouse strain (BKS.Cg Dock7m+/+ Leprdb/J) was used for the study. Six-week-old db/db mice were divided to three groups (N=8 per group). Mice were injected subcutaneously with TGFRt15-TGFRs, TGFRt15*-TGFRs, or PBS at 3 mg/kg. Blood was collected at day 4 post-injection through the submandibular vein after the mice had been fasting for 20 hours. The fasting blood glucose was measured with OneTouch UltraMini meter immediately after blood was drawn. As shown in Figure 219, both TGFRt15-TGFRs and TGFRt15*-TGFRs can reduce the fasting plasma glucose levels significantly. The plasma TGFβ1-3 levels were assessed to identify the cause of treatment- related reduction of fasting plasma glucose in db/db mice. Four days after treatment, plasma was isolated and 30 µL of plasma was sent to EVE Technologies (Calgary, AB Canada) to assess TGFβ1-3 levels by the TGF-β 3-Plex (TGFB1-3) assay. As shown in Figures 220A-C, both TGFRt15-TGFRs and TGFRt15*-TGFRs completely depleted plasma TGFβ1 (Figure 220A), partially reduced TGFβ2 (Figure 220B), and had no effect on TGFβ3 (Figure 220C). The lymphocyte subsets were assessed to identify the cause of treatment-related reduction of fasting plasma glucose in db/db mice. Four days after treatment, whole blood cells (50 µl) were treated with ACK (Ammonium-Chloride-Potassium) lysing buffer to lyse red blood cells. The lymphocytes were then stained with PE-Cy7-anti- CD3, BV605-anti-CD45, PerCP-Cy5.5-anti-CD8a, BV510-anti-CD4, and APC-anti- NKp46 (all antibodies from BioLegend) to assess the populations of T cells and NK cells. The cells were further permeabilized and fixed with eBioscience Foxp3/Transcription factor staining buffer set (Cat# 00-5523-00, ThermoFisher) and stained with AF700-anti- Ki67 and FITC-anti-Granzyme B in eBioscience Permeabilization buffer (Cat# 00-8333- 56, ThermoFisher) to assess the proliferation and activation of T cells and NK cells. Another set of lymphocytes were stained with PE-Cy7-anti-CD3, BV605-anti-CD45, BV510-anti-CD4 and apc-Cy7-anti-CD25 first, and then permeabilized and fixed with eBioscience Foxp3/Transcription factor staining buffer set (Cat# 00-5523-00, ThermoFisher) and stained with PE-anti-Foxp3 in eBioscience Permeabilization buffer (Cat# 00-8333-56, ThermoFisher) to assess the population of Treg cells. TGFRt15-TGFRs increased the population of NK cells (Figure 221A) and CD8+ T cells (Figure 221D), stimulated the proliferation of NK cells (Figure 221B) and CD8+ T cells (Figure 221E), and activated NK cells (Figure 221C). TGFRt15*-TGFRs had no effect on either cell population (Figure 221A-E). Both TGFRt15-TGFRs and TGFRt15*- TGFRs had no effect on CD4+ T cells, CD19+ B cells, and CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ Treg cells. In conclusion, in db/db mice, both TGFRt15-TGFRs and TGFRt15*-TGFRs reduced fasting plasma glucose levels and both TGFRt15-TGFRs and TGFRt15*-TGFRs completely depleted plasma TGFβ1. However, only TGFRt15-TGFRs activated NK cells and enhanced CD8+ T cells and NK cells proliferation. Based on these results, the depletion of TGFβ1 likely was involved in the reduction of fasting plasma glucose, showing that blockade of TGF-β/Smad3 signaling played a role in prevention of obesity and diabetes in ob/ob mice. Example 95: In Vitro Characterization of the Activities of TGFRt15-TGFRs and TGFRt15*-TGFRs TGFRII was demonstrated to interact with TGFβ1-3. There is no report in the literature demonstrating interactions between TGFRII and latent TGFβ. To assess whether TGFRt15-TGFRs, TGFRt15*-TGFRs, and TGFRII-Fc interacts with latent TGFβ we applied 2.5 nM of human latent TGFβ1-his tag (Cat# TG1-H524x, Acro Biosystems) or a control protein CD39-his tag (Lot# 58-49/51, HCW Biologics) in 50 mM carbonate buffer pH 9.4 (100µl/well) to coat an ELISA plate (Cat# 80040LE 0910, ThermoFisher) overnight at 4 oC. Next day, the plate was washed with ELISA washing buffer (phosphate-buffered saline with 0.05% Tween 20) three times, the plate was blocked with the blocking buffer (1% BSA-PBS) for 1 hour, and then descending concentrations of TGFRt15-TGFRs, TGFRt15*-TGFRs, or TGFRII-Fc from 200 nM to 0.09 nM in blocking buffer were added to the plate and the plate was incubated for 1 hour at 25 oC. The plate was washed three times with ELISA washing buffer. A detection antibody, biotinylated anti-TGFRII antibody (Cat# BAF241, R&D Systems), at 0.1 µg/mL was added to the plate and incubated at 25 oC for 1 hour. The plate was washed and horseradish peroxidase-streptavidin (code#016-030-084, Jackson ImmunoResearch) at 0.25 µg/mL was added to the plate and incubated at 25 oC for 30 minutes. The plate was washed and a substrate of HRP, ABTS (Cat# ABTS-1000-01, Surmodics) was added to the plate and incubated for 20 minutes at 25 oC. The plate was read with a microplate reader (Multiscan Sky, Thermo Scientific) at OD405 nm. As shown in Figure 222A, both TGFRt15-TGFRs and TGFRt15*-TGFRs interacted with latent TGFβ1 similarly. However, TGFRII-Fc interacted with latent TGFβ1 with lower affinity than was seen with TGFRt15*-TGFRs (Figure 222B). The results demonstrated TGFRt15-TGFRs, TGFRt15*-TGFRs, and TGFRII-Fc can interact with latent TGFβ1, with TGFRt15- TGFRs, TGFRt15*-TGFRs surprisingly showing higher affinity interaction than TGFRII-Fc. Example 96: Prothrombin Time Test Prothrombin time (PT) test is designed to measure the time it takes for plasma to clot after mixing with tissue factor and an optimal concentration of calcium. Tissue factor mixture with phospholipids (called Thrombinplastin) acts as an enzyme to convert prothrombin to thrombin, which in turn causes blood clotting by converting fibrinogen to fibrin. Innovin is a lipidated recombinant human TF243 and is used as the standard in our experiment. In the PT assay, shorter PT time (clotting time) indicates a higher TF- dependent clotting activity while longer PT (clotting time) means lower TF-dependent clotting activity. Briefly, 0.1 mL of normal human plasma (Ci-Trol Coagulation Control, Level I) was prewarmed at 37 oC for 3 minutes. Plasma clotting reactions were initiated by adding 0.2 mL of various dilutions of Innovin or testing sample (TGFRt15-TGFRs) diluted in PT assay buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 14.6 mM CaCl2, 0.1% BSA) to the plasma. Clotting time was monitored and reported by STart PT analyzer (Diagnostica Stago, Parsippany, NJ). As seen in Figure 223, different amounts of Innovin (Innovin reconstituted with purified water equivalent to 10 nM of lipidated recombinant human TF243 is considered to be 100% Innovin) added to the PT assay indeed demonstrated an inverse relationship between the amount of TF243 added in the PT assay and the PT time. For example, 1% Innovin had a PT time of about 25.0 seconds, while 100% Innovin had a PT time of 8.5 seconds. Figure 224 shows the result of the PT test on TGFRt15-TGFRs. In contrast to Innovin, TGFRt15-TGFRs exhibited prolonged PT times which were almost the same as buffer, indicating extremely low or no clotting activity. The clotting effect of TGFRt15-TGFRs in the presence of CTLL cells was also evaluated. The binding experiment conducted confirmed that TGFRt15-TGFRs can bind to CTLL cells. The TGFRt15-TGFRs clotting test in the presence of CTLL cells will reflect more closely with the potent clotting activity in vivo. TGFRt15-TGFRs was preincubated with CTLL cells for 20-30 min at 37 oC in PT assay buffer. Then we proceeded with the PT assay as described above. Figure 224 shows that mixture of TGFRt15-TGFRs with CTLL cells had a bit shorter clotting time (154.6 sec) than TGFRt15-TGFRs alone (167.6 sec) or CTLL cells alone (161.9 sec). However, the clotting time of 154.6 seconds is still significantly longer than the Innovin clotting time of 8.5 seconds. In summary, TGFRt15-TGFRs has extremely low or no TF-dependent clotting activity (i.e., in the physiological ranges of coagulation factors in human plasma), even in the presence of cells capable of binding TGFRt15-TGFRs. Example 97: Gene Expression of Senescence Markers in Tissues of Young Mice, and of Aged Mice Following Treatment with TGFRt15-TGFRs or PBS and Short-Term (10 days) or Long-Term (60 days) Follow-Up C57BL/6, 72-week-old mice were purchased from the Jackson Laboratory. Mice were housed in a temperature and light controlled environment. Mice were divided into two groups and treated subcutaneously with either PBS (PBS control group) or TGFRt15- TGFRs at a dosage of 3 mg/kg (TGFRt15-TGFRs group). Either at day 10 or day 60 post-treatment, mice were euthanized, and kidneys were harvested in order to evaluate the expression levels of senescence markers PAI1, IL-1α, IL6, and TNFα by quantitative- PCR. Harvested kidneys were stored in liquid nitrogen in 1.7 mL Eppendorf tubes. Samples were homogenized by using homogenizer in 1 mL of Trizol (Thermo Fischer). Homogenized tissues were transferred in fresh Eppendorf tubes. Total RNA was extracted using RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen #74106) according to the manufacturer's instructions. One µg of total RNA was used for cDNA synthesis using the QuantiTect Reverse Transcription Kit (Qiagen). Real-time PCR was carried out with CFX96 Detection System (Bio-Rad) using FAM labeled predesigned primers purchased from Thermo Scientific. Reactions were run in triplicate for all the genes examined. The housekeeping gene 18S ribosomal RNA was used as an internal control to normalize the variability in expression levels. The expression of each target mRNA relative to 18S rRNA was calculated based on Ct as 2–Δ(ΔCt), in which ΔCt = Ct target– Ct18S. Untreated 6-week-old mice (Young) were used as a control to compare the gene expression level to aged mice. As shown in Figure 225, the results show that gene expression of PAI-1, IL-1α, IL6, and IL-1β in kidney increased with the age of the mice as expected with the age- dependent increase in cellular senescence. Treatment of 72-month old mice with a single dose of TGFRt15-TGFRs resulted in a significant and long-lasting effect in reducing gene expression of senescence markers in kidneys, suggesting a treatment associated decrease in naturally-occurring senescent cells in the kidneys of aged mice. As shown in Figure 226, the results showed that treatment of 72-month old mice with a single dose of TGFRt15-TGFRs mediated in a significant and long-lasting effect in reducing IL-1α and IL6 gene expression in liver, suggesting a treatment associated decrease in naturally-occurring senescent cells in the liver of aged mice. C57BL/6, 72-week-old mice were purchased from the Jackson Laboratory. Mice were housed in a temperature and light controlled environment. Mice were divided into two groups and treated subcutaneously with either PBS (PBS control group) or TGFRt15- TGFRs at a dosage of 3 mg/kg (TGFRt15-TGFRs group). Either at day 10 or day 60 post-treatment, mice were euthanized, and kidneys were harvested in order to evaluate the proteins levels of the senescence marker PAI-1 by a tissue ELISA. Harvested kidneys were stored in liquid nitrogen in 1.7 mL Eppendorf tubes. Samples were homogenized by using homogenizer in 0.3 mL of extraction buffer (Abcam). Homogenized tissues were transferred in fresh Eppendorf tubes. Protein level in homogenized tissue was quantified using BCA Protein Assay Kit (Pierce). Mouse PAI-1 ELISA (R&D System) was performed with 200 mg of tissue homogenate. Based on a standard curve, the concentration of PAI-1 was calculated as picograms per milligram of tissue. As shown in Figure 227, the protein levels of senescence markers PAI-1 decreased in the kidneys of TGFRt15-TGFRs treated aged mice compared to PBS group at 60 days post-treatment. These results are consistent with the effects of TGFRt15- TGFRs treatment on the PAI-1 gene expression in the kidneys of aged mice. Together, these results indicate that a single treatment of TGFRt15-TGFRs resulted in a significant and long-lasting effect in reducing naturally-occurring senescent cells (as measured by reduced gene and protein expression of senescence markers) in the tissues of aged mice. Example 98: Comparison of TGFRt15-TGFRs and TGFRt15*-TGFRs (IL-15 mutant) Treatment in Reducing Gene Expression of Senescence Markers in Tissues of Aged Mice C57BL/6, 72-week-old mice were purchased from the Jackson Laboratory. Mice were housed in a temperature and light controlled environment. Mice were divided into five groups as follows: saline control group (n =8); TGFRt15-TGFRs group (n =8); IL15SA group (n =8); TGFRt15*-TGFRs group (n =8); and IL15SA + TGFRt15*- TGFRs group (n =8). Mice were treated subcutaneously with PBS, TGFRt15-TGFRs (3 mg/kg), TGFRt15*-TGFRs (3 mg/kg), IL15SA (0.5 mg/kg), or TGFRt15*-TGFRs (3 mg/kg) plus IL15SA (0.5 mg/kg). Mouse blood was prepared in order to evaluate changes in the different subsets of immune cells after treatment with TGFRt15-TGFRs and other agents. The mouse blood was collected from submandibular vein on Day 17 post-treatment in tubes containing EDTA. The whole blood was centrifuged to collect plasma at 3000 RPM for 10 minutes in a micro centrifuge. Plasma was stored at -80 oC and whole blood was processed for immune cell phenotyping by flow cytometry. Whole blood RBCs were lysed in ACK buffer for 5 minutes at room temperature. Remaining cells were washed in FACS buffer (1X PBS (Hyclone) with 0.5% BSA (EMD Millipore) and 0.001% Sodium Azide (Sigma)). To assess the different types of immune cells in blood, cells were stained with antibodies specific to cell-surface CD3, CD45, CD8, and NK1.1 (BioLegend) for 30 minutes at room temperature (RT). After surface staining, cells were washed (1500 RPM for 5 minutes at room temperature) in FACS buffer (1X PBS (Hyclone) with 0.5% BSA (EMD Millipore) and 0.001% Sodium Azide (Sigma)). After two washes, cells were resuspended in fixation buffer and analyzed by flow cytometry (Celesta-BD Bioscience). As shown in Figure 228, the results indicate that treatment of aged mice with TGFRt15-TGFRs. IL15SA (positive control) or TGFRt15*-TGFRs + IL15SA mediated an increase in the percentages of CD3+CD8+, CD3-NK1.1+, and CD3+CD45+ immune cells in the blood, whereas treatment with TGFRt15*-TGFRs had little or no effect on the percentage of these cell populations. These results suggest that IL-15 activity of TGFRt15-TGFRs plays a role in increasing CD8+ T cells and NK cells in the blood of aged mice. As shown in Figure 229, the results indicate that treatment of aged mice with TGFRt15-TGFRs. IL15SA (positive control) or TGFRt15*-TGFRs + IL15SA mediated an increase in the percentages of CD3+CD8+, CD3-NK1.1+, and CD3+CD45+ immune cells in the spleen, whereas treatment with TGFRt15*-TGFRs had little or no effect on the percentage of these cell populations. These results suggest that IL-15 activity of TGFRt15-TGFRs plays a role in increasing CD8+ T cells and NK cells in the spleen of aged mice. C57BL/6, 72-week-old mice were purchased from the Jackson Laboratory. Mice were housed in a temperature and light controlled environment. Mice were divided into five groups as follows: saline control group (n =8); TGFRt15-TGFRs group (n =8); IL15SA group (n =8); TGFRt15*-TGFRs group (n =8); and IL15SA with TGFRt15*- TGFRs group (n =8). Mice were treated subcutaneously with PBS, TGFRt15-TGFRs (3 mg/kg), TGFRt15*-TGFRs (3 mg/kg), IL15SA (0.5 mg/kg), or TGFRt15*-TGFRs (3 mg/kg) plus IL15SA (0.5 mg/kg). The mouse kidney, liver, and lungs were harvested in order to evaluate the gene expression of senescence markers p21, PAI1, IL-1α, and IL6 by quantitative-PCR in tissues after treatment with TGFRt15-TGFRs, TGFRt15*-TGFRs, or control groups. Mice were euthanized day 17 post-treatment and kidney, liver, and lung were harvested and stored in liquid nitrogen in 1.7 mL Eppendorf tubes. Samples were homogenized by using homogenizer in 1 mL of Trizol (Thermo Fischer). Homogenized tissues were transferred in fresh Eppendorf tubes. Total RNA was extracted using RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen #74106) according to the manufacturer's instructions. One µg of total RNA was used for cDNA synthesis using the QuantiTect Reverse Transcription Kit (Qiagen). Real-time PCR was carried out with CFX96 Detection System (Bio-Rad) using FAM labeled predesigned primers purchased from Thermo Scientific. Reactions were run in triplicate for all the genes examined. The housekeeping gene 18S ribosomal RNA was used as an internal control to normalize the variability in expression levels. The expression of each target mRNA relative to 18S rRNA was calculated based on Ct as 2–Δ(ΔCt), in which ΔCt = Ct target– Ct18S. As shown in Figure 230A-D, treatment of 72-month old mice with a single dose of TGFRt15-TGFRs or TGFRt15*-TGFRs mediated in a significant decrease in p21, PAI1, IL-1α, and IL6 gene expression in kidney and liver, suggesting a treatment associated decrease in naturally-occurring senescent cells in the kidney and liver of aged mice. The results of this study suggest that both the IL-15 and TGF-β trap activities of TGFRt15-TGFRs are capable of reducing naturally-occurring senescent cells in the tissues of aged mice. Example 99: Immuno-Phenotype Following Treatment with IL-15-based Agents The mouse blood was prepared in order to evaluate changes in the different subsets of immune cells after treatment with IL-15-based agents: TGFRt15-TGFRs, an IL-15 superagonist (IL-15SA), and an IL-15 fusion with a D8N mutant knocking out the IL-15 activity (TGFRt15*-TGFRs). C57BL/6, 6-week-old mice were purchased from Jackson Laboratory. Mice were housed in a temperature and light controlled environment. Mice were divided into groups (n =6/group) and treated with the following: 1) PBS (saline) control, 2) docetaxel, 3) docetaxel with TGFRt15-TGFRs, 4) docetaxel with IL15SA, 5) docetaxel with an IL-15 mutant (TGFRt15*-TGFRs), and 6) docetaxel with an IL-15 superagonist (IL-15SA) plus TGFRt15*-TGFRs. Senescence was induced in mice with three doses of docetaxel (10 mg/kg) at day 1, 4, and 7. On day 8, the mice were treated subcutaneously with PBS, TGFRt15-TGFRs, TGFRt15*-TGFRs, IL-15SA or in combinations as discussed above. TGFRt15-TGFRs and TGFRt15*-TGFRs were administered at a dosage of 3 mg/kg and IL-15SA was administered at 0.05 mg/kg. The mouse blood was collected from the submandibular vein on day 3 post-study drug treatment into EDTA tubes. The whole blood was centrifuged to collect plasma at 3000 RPM for 10 minutes in a microcentrifuge. Plasma was stored at -80 °C and whole blood was processed for immune cell phenotyping by flow cytometry. RBCs were lysed in ACK buffer for 5 minutes at 37 °C. The remaining cells were washed in FACS buffer (1X PBS (Hyclone) with 0.5% BSA (EMD Millipore) and 0.001% Sodium Azide (Sigma)). To assess the different types of immune cells in the blood, cells were stained with antibodies for cell-surface CD4, CD45, CD19, CD8, and NK1.1 (BioLegend) for 30 minutes at room temperature (RT). After surface staining, cells were washed (1500 RPM for 5 minutes at room temperature) in FACS buffer (1X PBS (Hyclone) with 0.5% BSA (EMD Millipore) and 0.001% Sodium Azide (Sigma)). The cells were treated with permeabilization buffer (Invitrogen) for 20 minutes at 40 oC followed by wash with permeabilization buffer (Invitrogen). The cells were then stained for an intracellular marker for proliferation (Ki67) for 30 minutes at RT. After two washes, the cells were resuspended in fixation buffer and analyzed by flow cytometry (Celesta-BD Bioscience). As shown in Figures 231A and 231B, the results indicate that treatment of mice with TGFRt15-TGFRs, IL15SA (positive control), or TGFRt15*-TGFRs + IL15SA mediated an increase in the percentages and proliferation (as measured by Ki67) of CD8+ T cells and NK1.1+ cells in the blood, whereas treatment with TGFRt15*-TGFRs had little or no effect on the percentage of these cell populations. These results suggest that IL-15 activity of TGFRt15-TGFRs plays a role in increasing CD8+ T cells and NK cells in the blood of mice following chemotherapy. Example 100: Evaluation of Gene Expression of Senescence Markers p21 and CD26 in Lung and Liver Tissues of Mice Following Chemotherapy and Treatment with IL-15-based Agents Gene expression of markers for cell senescence were evaluated in tissues of normal mice following chemotherapy and administration of study treatments. C57BL/6, 6-week-old mice were purchased from Jackson Laboratory. Mice were housed in a temperature and light controlled environment. Mice were divided into six groups and treated with the following: 1) PBS (saline) control (n =5), 2) docetaxel (n =8), 3) docetaxel with TGFRt15-TGFRs (n =8), 4) docetaxel with IL15SA (n =8), 5) docetaxel with an IL-15 mutant (TGFRt15*-TGFRs) (n =8), and 6) docetaxel with an IL-15 superagonist (IL-15SA) plus TGFRt15*-TGFRs (n =6). Senescence was induced in mice with three doses of docetaxel (10 mg/kg) at day 1, 4, and 7. On day 8, the mice were treated subcutaneously with PBS, TGFRt15-TGFRs, TGFRt15*-TGFRs, IL-15SA, or in combinations as discussed below. TGFRt15-TGFRs and TGFRt15*-TGFRs were administered at a dosage of 3 mg/kg and IL-15SA was administered at 0.5 mg/kg. The mouse tissues were prepared in order to evaluate the different gene expression of senescence markers. Mice were euthanized on day 7 post-study drug treatment and the liver and lung tissues were harvested and stored in liquid nitrogen in 1.7 mL Eppendorf tubes. Samples were homogenized by using mortar and pestle in liquid nitrogen. Homogenized tissues were transferred in fresh Eppendorf tubes containing 1 mL of Trizol (Thermo Fischer). Total RNA was extracted using RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen #74106) according to the manufacturer’s instructions and 1 µg of total RNA was used for cDNA synthesis using the QuantiTect Reverse Transcription Kit (Qiagen). Real-time PCR was carried out with CFX96 Detection System (Bio-Rad) using FAM labeled predesigned primers purchased from Thermo Scientific. Reactions were run in triplicate for all the genes examined. The housekeeping gene 18S ribosomal RNA was used as an internal control to normalize the variability in expression levels. The expression of each target mRNA relative to 18S rRNA was calculated based on Ct as 2–Δ(ΔCt), in which ΔCt = Ct target– Ct18S. As shown in the Figure 232, gene expression of the senescence markers p21 and CD26 was induced in the lung (Figure 232A) and (Figure 232B), and p21 in liver (Figure 232C) tissues of mice treated with docetaxel, as compared to gene expression in tissue of saline-treated mice. Gene expression of senescence markers p21 and CD26 in the lungs and p21 in the liver were reduced of the chemotherapy-treated mice following subsequent treatment with TGFRt15-TGFRs, IL-15SA, and combination of IL-15SA and TGFRt15*- TGFRs mutant, as compared to the chemotherapy-treated controls. However, the TGFRt15*-TGFRs mutant treatment failed to effect the chemotherapy-induced senescence marker gene expression in these tissues. These results show that IL-15 activity is important for clearance of TIS senescence cells in normal tissues of mice. Example 101: TGFRt15-TGFRs Treatment Enhances the Immune Cell Proliferation, Expansion, and Activation in the Peripheral Blood of B16F10 Tumor Bearing Mice C57BL/6 mice were subcutaneously injected with 0.5x106 B16F10 cells. After tumor inoculation (day 0), the mice were given three doses of doxetaxel chemotherapy (10 mg/kg) on days 1, 4, and 7 and single dose of TGFRt15-TGFRs (3 mg/kg) combined with monoclonal antibody targeting a tumor antigen anti-TYRP-1 antibody TA99 (200 μg) on day 8. Tumor-bearing mice treated with saline or doxetaxel chemotherapy (10 mg/kg) on days 1, 4, and 7 served as controls. Blood was drawn from submandibular vein on days 3, 5, and 10 after immunotherapy treatment (day 8). The RBCs were lysed in ACK lysis buffer and the lymphocytes were washed and stained with antibodies specific to cell-surface expression of NK, CD8, CD25, and Granzyme B (GzB) (BioLegend) for 30 minutes at room temperature (RT). After surface staining, the cells were washed (1500 RPM for 5 minutes at RT) in FACS buffer (1X PBS (Hyclone) with 0.5% BSA (EMD Millipore) and 0.001% Sodium Azide (Sigma)). After two washes, the cells were resuspended in fixation buffer. After fixation, the cells were washed and treated with permeabilization buffer (Invitrogen) for 20 minutes at 4 °C followed by wash with permeabilization buffer (Invitrogen). The cells were then stained for an intracellular marker for proliferation (Ki67) for 30 minutes at RT. After two washes, the cells were resuspended in fixation buffer and analyzed by flow cytometry (Celesta-BD Bioscience). As shown in Figures 233A and B, peripheral blood analysis showed that proliferative Ki67-positive NK and CD8+ cells were predominantly present at day 3 post- TGFRt15-TGFRs+TA99 therapy, when compared to the saline or chemotherapy treatment groups. The expansion of NK and CD8+ cells was found on days 3 and 5 post- immunotherapy. While the NK cells were still expanding, the CD8+ cells was not found to be expanding in the blood at day 10 post-immunotherapy. These cells also expressed the activation markers CD25 and granzyme B post-TGFRt15-TGFRs+TA99 therapy, when compared to immune cells of the saline or chemotherapy treatment groups. These effects are consistent with the immunostimulatory activities of TGFRt15-TGFRs. Example 102: TGFRt15-TGFRs treatment decreases levels of TGFβ in the plasma of B16F10 tumor bearing mice C57BL/6 mice were subcutaneously injected with 0.5x106 B16F10 cells. After tumor inoculation (day 0), the mice were given three doses of doxetaxel chemotherapy (10 mg/kg) on days 1, 4, and 7 and single dose of TGFRt15-TGFRs (3 mg/kg) combined with monoclonal antibody targeting a tumor antigen anti-TYRP-1 antibody TA99 (200 μg) on day 8. Tumor-bearing mice treated with saline or doxetaxel chemotherapy (10 mg/kg) on days 1, 4, and 7 served as controls. Blood was collected from the submandibular on days 1, 3, 5, and 10 after immunotherapy treatment in tubes containing EDTA and immediately placed on ice. The blood was centrifuged for 15 minutes at 3,000 rpm at room temperature to separate plasma. Plasma samples were aliquoted and stored at −80 °C. The plasma TGFβ levels were analyzed by using cytokine array, TGFβ 3-plex (TGFβ 1-3) from Eve Technologies, Calgary, AL, Canada. As shown in Figure 234, the results show that administration of TGFRt15- TGFRs+TA99 led to a reduction in the plasma levels of TGF-β1, TGF-β2, and TGF-β3 in tumor-bearing mice for 3 to 5 days post-treatment, when compared to the saline or chemotherapy treatment groups. This effect is consistent with the TGF-β agonistic activity of TGFRt15-TGFRs. Example 103: TGFRt15-TGFRs Treatment Reduces Levels of Proinflammatory Cytokines in the Plasma of B16F10 Tumor Bearing Mice C57BL/6 mice were subcutaneously injected with 0.5x106 B16F10 cells. After tumor inoculation (day 0), the mice were given three doses of doxetaxel chemotherapy (10 mg/kg) on days 1, 4, and 7 and single dose of TGFRt15-TGFRs (3 mg/kg) combined with monoclonal antibody targeting a tumor antigen anti-TYRP-1 antibody TA99 (200 μg) on day 8. Tumor-bearing mice treated with saline or doxetaxel chemotherapy (10 mg/kg) on days 1, 4, and 7 served as controls. Blood was drawn from submandibular vein on days 1, 3, 5, and 10 after immunotherapy treatment (day 8) in tubes containing with EDTA and immediately placed on ice. The blood was centrifuged for 15 minutes at 3,000 rpm at room temperature to separate plasma. Plasma samples were aliquoted and stored at −80 °C. Aliquots were diluted 2-fold in PBS and analyzed using a Mouse Cytokine Array Proinflammatory Focused 10-plex (MDF10) assay. As shown in Figure 235, the results show that administration of TGFRt15- TGFRs+TA99 reduced in plasma levels of IL2, IL-1β, IL6, MCP-1, and GM-CSF in tumor-bearing mice on day 10 post-treatment, when compared to the chemotherapy treatment group. This effect is consistent with the immunostimulatory activities of TGFRt15-TGFRs. Example 104: TGFRt15-TGFRs Treatment Enhances NK and CD8+ expansion in the Spleen of B16F10 Tumor Bearing Mice C57BL/6 mice were subcutaneously injected with 0.5x106 B16F10 cells. After tumor inoculation (day 0), the mice were given three doses of doxetaxel chemotherapy (10 mg/kg) on days 1, 4, and 7 and single dose of TGFRt15-TGFRs (3 mg/kg) combined with monoclonal antibody targeting a tumor antigen anti-TYRP-1 antibody TA99 (200 μg) on day 8. Tumor-bearing mice treated with saline or doxetaxel chemotherapy (10 mg/kg) on days 1, 4, and 7 served as controls. Mice were sacrificed and the spleens were harvested at days 3, 5, and 10 post-immunotherapy (day 8). The spleens were crushed with flat back end of the sterile piston/plunger of 3 cc syringe to release the splenocytes. The splenocytes were passed through a 70-μM cell strainer and homogenized into a single cell suspension. The RBCs were lysed in ACK lysis buffer and the splenocytes were washed and stained with antibodies for cell-surface expression of NK and CD8 (BioLegend), for 30 minutes at RT. After two washes, the cells were resuspended in fixation buffer and analyzed by flow cytometry (Celesta-BD Bioscience). As shown in the Figure 236, the expansion of NK and CD8+ cells were seen in the spleen at days 3 and 5 post-TGFRt15-TGFRs+TA99 therapy, when compared to the saline or chemotherapy treatment groups. Levels of NK cells (but not the CD8+ cells) were still found to be elevated at day 10 post-immunotherapy in the spleen of tumor- bearing mice, when compared levels in the spleens of the chemotherapy treatment group. These effects are consistent with the immunostimulatory activities of TGFRt15-TGFRs. Example 105: TGFRt15-TGFRs Treatment Enhances Glycolytic Activity of Splenocytes in B16F10 Tumor Bearing Mice C57BL/6 mice were subcutaneously injected with 0.5x106 B16F10 cells. After tumor inoculation (day 0), the mice were given three doses of doxetaxel chemotherapy (10 mg/kg) on days 1, 4, and 7 and single dose of TGFRt15-TGFRs (3 mg/kg) combined with monoclonal antibody targeting a tumor antigen anti-TYRP-1 antibody TA99 (200 μg) on day 8. Tumor-bearing mice treated with saline or doxetaxel chemotherapy (10 mg/kg) on days 1, 4, and 7 served as controls. Mice were sacrificed and the spleens were harvested at days 3, 5, and 10 post-immunotherapy (day 8). The spleens were crushed with flat back end of the sterile piston/plunger of 3 cc syringe to release the splenocytes. The splenocytes were passed through a 70-μM cell strainer and homogenized into a single cell suspension. The RBCs were lysed in ACK lysis buffer and the splenocytes were washed and counted. To measure the glycolytic activity of the splenocytes, the cells were washed and resuspended in seahorse media and resuspended in 4 x 106 cells/mL. The cells were seeded at 50 µL/well in Cell-Tak-coated Seahorse Bioanalyzer XFe96 culture plates in Seahorse XF RPMI medium, pH 7.4 supplemented with 2 mM L- glutamine for glycolysis stress test. The cells were allowed to attach to the plate for 30 minutes at 37 °C. Additionally, 130 µL of the assay medium was added to each well of the plate (also the background wells). The plate was incubated in 37 °C, non-CO2 incubator for 1 hr. For glycolysis stress test the calibration plate contained 10x solution of glucose/oligomycin/2DG prepared in Seahorse assay media and 20 µL of glucose/oligomycin/2DG were added to each of the ports of the extracellular flux plate that was calibrated overnight. The glycolysis stress test is based on extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) and measures three key parameters of glycolytic function including glycolysis, glycolytic capacity, and glycolytic reserve. Complete ECAR analysis consisted of four stages: non glycolytic acidification (without drugs), glycolysis (10 mM glucose), maximal glycolysis induction/glycolytic capacity (2 μM oligomycin), and glycolysis reserve (100 mM 2-DG). At the end of the experiment the data was exported as a Graph Pad Prism file. The XF glycolysis stress test report generator automatically calculated the XF cell glycolysis stress test parameters from the Wave data. The data was analyzed using the Wave software (Agilent). As shown in the Figures 237A and B, the splenocytes isolated from tumor-bearing mice at day 3 and day 5 after TGFRt15-TGFRs+TA99 therapy showed enhanced basal glycolysis, capacity and reserve rate, when compared to splenocytes of the saline or chemotherapy treatment groups. However no significant difference in the splenocyte glycolytic activity was observed at day 10 post-immunotherapy. These effects are consistent with the immunostimulatory activities of TGFRt15-TGFRs. Example 106: TGFRt15-TGFRs Treatment Enhances Mitochondrial Respiration of Splenocytes in B16F10 Tumor Bearing Mice C57BL/6 mice were subcutaneously injected with 0.5x106 B16F10 cells. After tumor inoculation (day 0), the mice were given three doses of doxetaxel chemotherapy (10 mg/kg) on days 1, 4, and 7 and single dose of TGFRt15-TGFRs (3 mg/kg) combined with monoclonal antibody targeting a tumor antigen anti-TYRP-1 antibody TA99 (200 μg) on day 8. Tumor-bearing mice treated with saline or doxetaxel chemotherapy (10 mg/kg) on days 1, 4, and 7 served as controls. Mice were sacrificed and the spleens were harvested at days 3, 5, and 10 post-immunotherapy (day 8). The spleens were crushed with flat back end of the sterile piston/plunger of 3 cc syringe to release the splenocytes. The splenocytes were passed through a 70 μM cell strainer and homogenized into a single cell suspension. The RBCs were lysed in ACK lysis buffer and the splenocytes were washed and counted. To measure the mitochondrial respiration of the splenocytes, the cells were washed and resuspended in seahorse media and resuspended in 4 x 106 cells/mL. The cells were seeded at 50 µL/well in Cell-Tak-coated Seahorse Bioanalyzer XFe96 culture plates in Seahorse XF RPMI medium, pH 7.4 supplemented with 2 mM L- glutamine for glycolysis stress test. For mitochondrial stress test, the cells were seeded in Seahorse XF RPMI medium, pH 7.4 supplemented with 10 mM glucose and 2 mM L- glutamine. The cells were allowed to attach to the plate for 30 minutes at 37 °C. Additionally, 130 µL of the assay medium was added to each well of the plate (also the background wells). The plate was incubated in 37 °C, non-CO2 incubator for 1 hr. For mitochondrial stress test, the Calibration plate contained 10x solution of oligomycin/FCCP/rotenone prepared in Seahorse assay media and 20 µL of oligomycin, FCCP, and rotenone was added to each of the ports of the extracellular flux plate that was calibrated overnight. Oxygen Consumption Rate (OCR) was measured using an XFe96 Extracellular Flux Analyzer. Complete OCR analysis consisted of four stages: basal respiration (without drugs), ATP-linked respiration/Proton leak (1.5 µM mM Oligomycin), maximal respiration (2 μM FCCP), and spare respiration (0.5 µM Rotenone). At the end of the experiment, the data was exported as a Graph Pad Prism file. The XF mitochondrial stress test report generator automatically calculates the XF mitochondrial stress test parameters from the Wave data that have been exported to Excel. The data was analyzed by using the Wave software (Agilent). As shown in the Figures 238A and B, the splenocytes isolated from tumor-bearing mice at day 3 and day 5 after TGFRt15-TGFRs+TA99 therapy showed enhanced basal respiration, mitochondria respiration, capacity and ATP production, when compared to splenocytes of the saline or chemotherapy treatment groups. However no significant difference in the splenocyte mitochondrial respiration was observed at day 10 post- immunotherapy. These effects are consistent with the immunostimulatory activities of TGFRt15-TGFRs. Metabolic pathways like oxidative metabolism and glycolysis are known to preferentially fuel the cell fate decisions and effector functions of immune cells. Therefore, TGFRt15-TGFRs mediated increased glycolytic activity and mitochondrial respiration might be associated with the activation of NK and CD8+ immune cells in the blood, spleen, and tumor of the mice. Example 107: TGFRt15-TGFRs Treatment Enhances NK and CD8 Immune Cell Infiltration (TILs) into Tumors of B16F10 Tumor Bearing Mice C57BL/6 mice were subcutaneously injected with 0.5x106 B16F10 cells. After tumor inoculation (day 0), the mice were given three doses of doxetaxel chemotherapy (10 mg/kg) on days 1, 4, and 7 and single dose of TGFRt15-TGFRs (3 mg/kg) combined with monoclonal antibody targeting a tumor antigen anti-TYRP-1 antibody TA99 (200 μg) on day 8. Tumor-bearing mice treated with saline or doxetaxel chemotherapy (10 mg/kg) on days 1, 4, and 7 served as controls. Mice were sacrificed and the tumors were harvested at days 3, 5, and 10 post-immunotherapy. The tumor tissue was dissociated into single cell suspension by collagenase digestion to determine the tumor-infiltrating immune cells. The single cell suspension was layered on Ficoll-Paque media followed by density gradient centrifugation to separate the lymphocytes and tumor cells. The cells were centrifuged at 1000 g for 20 minutes at 20 °C with slow acceleration and break turned off. After centrifugation the Ficoll-Paque results in a distinct separation between two layers. The TILs are found on the interface between the media and Ficoll-Paque, while the pellet consists of the tumor cells. The TILs were carefully removed from the interface and washed with complete RPMI media. After washing, the RBCs were lysed in ACK buffer for 5 minutes at room temperature. The cells were washed in FACS buffer (1X PBS (Hyclone) with 0.5% BSA (EMD Millipore) and 0.001% Sodium Azide (Sigma)). To assess the different types of immune cells in tumor, the cells were stained with antibodies for cell-surface CD8, NK1.1, CD25, and GzB (BioLegend) for 30 minutes at RT. After surface staining, the remaining cells were washed (1500 RPM for 5 minutes at room temperature) in FACS buffer (1X PBS (Hyclone) with 0.5% BSA (EMD Millipore) and 0.001% Sodium Azide (Sigma)). After two washes, the cells were resuspended in fixation buffer. After fixation cells were washed and treated with permeabilization buffer (Invitrogen) for 20 minutes at 4 °C followed by wash with permeabilization buffer (Invitrogen). The cells were then stained for intracellular markers for proliferation (Ki67) for 30 minutes at RT. After two washes, the cells were resuspended in fixation buffer and analyzed by flow cytometry (Celesta-BD Bioscience). As shown in Figures 239A and B, tumor analysis showed high levels of Ki67-positive NK and CD8 cells at day 3 post-therapy. Expansion of NK and CD8+ cells (based on % of lymphocytes in tumors) was found at day 3 and day 5 post-TGFRt15-TGFRs+TA99 therapy, when compared to the chemotherapy treatment group. Tumors CD8+ cells were elevated even at day10 post-immunotherapy. Both NK and CD8+ showed the expression of activation markers CD25 and granzyme B at day 3 post-TGFRt15-TGFRs+TA99 therapy, when compared to immune cells of the chemotherapy treatment group. These effects are consistent with the immunostimulatory activities of TGFRt15-TGFRs and are comparable to changes seen in the blood and splenocytes of tumor-bearing mice. Example 108: Histopathological Analysis of Tumors Following TGFRt15-TGFRs Treatment C57BL/6 mice were subcutaneously injected with 0.5x106 B16F10 cells. After tumor inoculation (day 0), the mice were given three doses of doxetaxel chemotherapy (10 mg/kg) on days 1, 4, and 7 and single dose of TGFRt15-TGFRs (3 mg/kg) combined with monoclonal antibody targeting a tumor antigen anti-TYRP-1 antibody TA99 (200 μg) on day 8. Tumor-bearing mice treated with saline or doxetaxel chemotherapy (10 mg/kg) on days 1, 4, and 7 served as controls. Blood was drawn from submandibular vein on days 1, 3, 5, and 10 after immunotherapy treatment (day 8). On day 10 post- immunotherapy, the mice were sacrificed, and tumors were isolated. For the histological analysis, tumor samples were fixed in 10% formalin solution and were embedded in paraffin and cut at 5 μm. The sections were stained with H & E to assess tissue and cellular morphology. The slides were scored based on the mitotic and necrotic activity of the tumor. The percentage necrosis in the tumor was scored as, +1 (0-20%), +2 (20- 40%), and +3 (40-60%). The Mitotic Index of the tumor was scored as +1=Moderate (1- 5 per high power field) and +2= Extensive (>5 per high power field). As shown in Figure 240, following TGFRt15-TGFRs+TA99 treatment, tumors displayed less mitotic and necrotic activity. The mitotic index is correlated to the dividing cells and presence of necrosis is a measure of more aggressive features and poor prognosis. Hence TGFRt15-TGFRs is a promising therapy in pre-clinical murine models for testing of combination tumor immunotherapy. Example 109: Anti-PD-L1 Antibody in Combination with TGFRt15-TGFRs+TA99 and Chemotherapy in B16F10 Melanoma Mouse Model C57BL/6 mice were subcutaneously injected with 0.5x106 B16F10 cells. After tumor inoculation (day 0), the mice were given three doses of doxetaxel chemotherapy (10 mg/kg) on days 1, 4, and 7. Tumor-bearing mice treated with only saline or doxetaxel chemotherapy (10 mg/kg) on days 1, 4, and 7 served as controls. The remaining mice were randomized in two groups, one group was treated with anti-mPD- L1 antibody (2 x 10 mg/kg) and the other group was treated with TGFRt15-TGFRs (3 mg/kg) with TA99 (200 µg) on day 8. After 6 days, the mice which received the TGFRt15-TGFRs with TA99 were given anti-mPD-L1 antibody (2 x 10 mg/kg) and mice which received anti-mPD-L1 antibody were treated with TGFRt15-TGFRs (3 mg/kg) with TA99 (200 µg). The anti-mPD-L1 antibody was given as two doses on days 8 and 10 or days 14 and 16. Tumor growth was monitored by caliper measurement, and tumor volume was calculated using the formula V= (LxW2)/2, where L is the largest tumor diameter and W is the perpendicular tumor diameter. N=6-8 mice/group. As shown in the Figure 241, TGFRt15-TGFRs+TA99 administration following by anti-PD-L1 antibody treatment resulted in better antitumor activity in B16F10 tumor- bearing mice as compared to treatment with anti-PD-L1 antibody and then TGFRt15- TGFRs+TA99. Therefore, combining TGFRt15-TGFRs with anti-PD-L1 antibody may be advantageous in treating tumors that are resistance to anti-PD-L1 antibody therapy. Example 110: Anti-tumor efficacy of TGFRt15-TGFRs in B16F10 Melanoma Mouse Model is Dependent on NK and CD8+ T Cells Groups of C57BL/6 mice (N=6-8 mice/group) were treated with three doses of NK1.1 Ab (500 µg) or CD8+a (500 µg) antibody intraperitoneal every third day to deplete the NK and CD8 cells. Blood was drawn and analyzed for NK and CD8+ lymphocyte levels before the B16F10 tumor implantation. Untreated mice served as immunocompetent controls. C57BL/6 mice were subcutaneously injected with 0.5x106 B16F10 cells. After tumor inoculation (day 0), the mice were given three doses of docetaxel (10 mg/kg) on days 1, 4, and 7, followed by single dose of TGFRt15-TGFRs (3 mg/kg) + TA99 (200 µg) on day 8. Tumor growth was monitored by caliper measurement, and tumor volume was calculated using the formula V = (L × W2)/2, where L is the largest tumor diameter and W is the perpendicular tumor diameter. As shown in Figure 242, B16F10 tumor bearing mice treated with TGFRt15- TGFRs in combination with TA99 and chemotherapy showed a significant reduction in B16F10 tumor volume, when compared to tumors of the saline or chemotherapy treatment groups. However, when the mice were depleted for NK and CD8+ cell subsets, there was no effect of immunotherapy on the anti-antitumor activity. This experiment shows that both the NK and CD8+ immune cells play an important role in TGFRt15- TGFRs mediated anti-tumor activity. Example 111: Comparison of TGFRt15-TGFRs and TGFRt15*-TGFRs Treatment in Reducing Senescence Markers in Liver and Lung Tissues of B16F10 Tumor- bearing Mice Following Chemotherapy C57BL/6, 6-8-week-old mice were purchased from the Jackson Laboratory. Mice were housed in a temperature and light controlled environment. Mice were divided into five groups as follows: saline control group (n =7), docetaxel (DTX) group (n =7), DTX + TGFRt15-TGFRs group (n =7), DTX + TGFRt15*-TGFRs group (n =7), and DTX + IL15SA group (n =7). B16F10 tumor cells (1 x107 cells/mouse) were implanted in mice on day 0. The mice were treated subcutaneously with 10 mg/kg docetaxel on days 1, 4, and 7. On day 8, the mice were treated subcutaneously with PBS, TGFRt15-TGFRs (3 mg/kg), TGFRt15*-TGFRs (3 mg/kg), or IL15SA (0.5 mg/kg). The mice were euthanized day 17 post-treatment and liver and lungs were harvested in order to evaluate the gene expression of senescence markers p21, IL-1α, and IL6 for liver and p21 and IL- 1α for lung by quantitative-PCR in tissues after treatment with TGFRt15-TGFRs or TGFRt15*-TGFRs and control groups. Harvested organs were stored in liquid nitrogen in 1.7 mL Eppendorf tubes. The samples were homogenized by using homogenizer in 1 mL of Trizol (Thermo Fischer). Homogenized tissues were transferred in fresh Eppendorf tubes. Total RNA was extracted using RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen #74106) according to the manufacturer's instructions. One µg of total RNA was used for cDNA synthesis using the QuantiTect Reverse Transcription Kit (Qiagen). Real-time PCR was carried out with CFX96 Detection System (Bio-Rad) using FAM-labeled predesigned primers purchased from Thermo Scientific. Reactions were run in triplicate for all the genes examined. The housekeeping gene 18S ribosomal RNA was used as an internal control to normalize the variability in expression levels. The expression of each target mRNA relative to 18S rRNA was calculated based on Ct as 2–Δ(ΔCt), in which ΔCt = Ct target– Ct18S. As shown in Figure 243, the senescence markers p21, IL-1α, and IL6 showed decreased gene expression in liver (A) and lung (B) tissues in both TGFRt15-TGFRs and TGFRt15*-TGFRs-treated tumor bearing mice, when compared to gene expression in tissues of chemotherapy treated mice. Example 112: TGFRt15-TGFRs Treatment in Reducing Chemotherapy-induced Senescent Tumor Cells in vivo B16F10 melanoma cells were stably transduced with GFP lentiviral plasmid and the GFP-expressing tumor cells (B16F10-GFP) were selected by growth in puromycin containing media. Almost 95% B16F10 melanoma cells were GFP-positive as analyzed by FACS. To induce senescence, B16F10-GFP cells were treated with 7.5 µM docetaxel (DTX) for 3 days followed by 4 days recovery in the normal growth media. To quantify gene expression of senescence markers and NK cell ligands, docetaxel-treated B16F10 GFP cells (B16F10-GFP-SNC) were homogenized by using homogenizer in 1 mL of Trizol (Thermo Fischer). Homogenized cells were transferred in fresh Eppendorf tubes. Total RNA was extracted using RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen #74106) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. One µg of total RNA was used for cDNA synthesis using the QuantiTect Reverse Transcription Kit (Qiagen). Real-time PCR was carried out with CFX96 Detection System (Bio-Rad) using FAM-labeled predesigned primers purchased from Thermo Scientific. The reactions were run in triplicate for all the genes examined. The housekeeping gene 18S ribosomal RNA was used as an internal control to normalize the variability in expression levels. The expression of each target mRNA relative to 18S rRNA was calculated based on Ct as 2–Δ(ΔCt), in which ΔCt = Ct target– Ct18S. The expression of different genes is plotted as fold-change in B16F10-GFP-SNC cells as compared to untreated B16F10-GFP cells. As shown in Figure 244, real time PCR analysis showed that B16F10-GFP cells treated in vitro with docetaxel upregulated gene expression of senescence markers, p21, H2AX, and IL6, and NK cell ligands, Rae-1e and ULBP-1, when compared to untreated B16F10-GFP cells. To determine whether chemotherapy-induced senescence tumor cells are reduced by immunotherapy in vivo, B16F10 parental melanoma cells (0.75 x 106) were mixed with B16F10-GFP-SNC cells (0.75 x 106) and injected the cell mixture subcutaneously in C57BL/6 mice. Mice were also injected with B16F10 and B16F10-GFP cells as controls. The B16F10 parent cells will grow to form tumor and B16F10-GFP-SNC cells will be the part of the tumor microenvironment. When tumors reached to approximately 350 mm3, mice bearing the mixed tumors were divided into 2 groups. One group received PBS as control and the other group received TGFRt15-TGFRs (3 mg/kg) with TA99 (200 µg) subcutaneously. The mice were sacrificed day 4 post-immunotherapy treatment. The tumor tissue was dissociated into single cell suspension by collagenase digestion to determine the tumor-infiltrating immune cells. The single cell suspension was layered on Ficoll-Paque media followed by density gradient centrifugation to separate the lymphocytes and tumor cells. The cells were centrifuged at 1000 g for 20 minutes at 20 °C with slow acceleration and break turned off. After centrifugation the Ficoll-Paque results in a distinct separation between two layers. The TILs are found on the interface between the media and Ficoll-Paque, while the pellet consists of the tumor cells. The TILs were carefully removed from the interface and washed with complete RPMI media. After washing, the RBCs were lysed in ACK buffer for 5 minutes at room temperature. The remaining cells were washed in FACS buffer (1X PBS (Hyclone) with 0.5% BSA (EMD Millipore) and 0.001% Sodium Azide (Sigma)). To assess the different types of immune cells in tumor, the cells were stained with antibodies specific to cell-surface CD3, CD45, CD8, and NK1.1 (BioLegend) for 30 minutes at RT. After surface staining, cells were washed (1500 RPM for 5 minutes at room temperature) in FACS buffer (1X PBS (Hyclone) with 0.5% BSA (EMD Millipore) and 0.001% Sodium Azide (Sigma)). After two washes, the cells were resuspended in fixation buffer. After fixation, the cells were washed and treated with permeabilization buffer (Invitrogen) for 20 minutes at 4 °C followed by wash with permeabilization buffer (Invitrogen). The cells were then stained for intracellular markers (Ki67) for proliferation for 30 minutes at RT. After two washes, the cells were resuspended in fixation buffer and analyzed by flow cytometry (Celesta- BD Bioscience). As shown in Figure 245, the percentage of CD8+ T cells and natural killer (NK) cells were increased after 4 days post-treatment in the tumor following TGFRt15- TGFRs+TA99 treatment, compared to controls. These results demonstrate that TGFRt15-TGFRs is able to stimulate infiltration of CD8+ T cells and NK cells in the tumor. Both CD8+ T cells and NK immune cells were also able to proliferate in the tumor as measured by the Ki67 marker. To determine whether chemotherapy-induced senescence tumor cells are reduced by immunotherapy in vivo, B16F10 parental melanoma cells (0.75 x 106) were mixed with B16F10-GFP-SNC cells (0.75 x 106) and injected the cell mixture subcutaneously in C57BL/6 mice. Mice were also injected with B16F10 and B16F10-GFP cells as controls. The B16F10 parent cells will grow to form tumor and B16F10-GFP-SNC cells will be the part of the tumor microenvironment. When tumors reached to approximately 350 mm3, mice bearing the mixed tumors were divided into 2 groups. One group received PBS as control and the other group received TGFRt15-TGFRs (3 mg/kg) with TA99 (200 µg) subcutaneously. The mice were sacrificed after day 4 and day 10 post-immunotherapy treatment. The tumor tissue was dissociated into single cell suspension by collagenase digestion to determine the tumor-infiltrating immune cells and GFP-positive cells in the tumor. Flow cytometry analysis (Figure 246A) on tumor cells showed that mice which received immunotherapy treatment showed lower number of GFP-positive cells 4 days and 10 days post-treatment as compared to the PBS control group. Tumor cells were plated in a 24-well plate to evaluate by fluorescence microscopy (Figure 246B). Microscopic images also showed fewer GFP-positive cells in the tumor of immunotherapy-treated mice as compared to the control PBS-treated group. The GFP expression in the tumor is associated with the chemotherapy-induced B16F10-GFP senescence cells, therefore reduction in the GFP expression after immunotherapy treatment shows the successful elimination of senescence tumor cells in the tumor bearing mice. Example 113: TGFβ Levels in Kidney after Inducing Kidney Injury by Cisplatin and Treatment with TGFRt15-TGFRs by Tissue ELISA The mouse kidney was harvested in order to evaluate changes in protein levels of the senescence markers TGFβ after inducing kidney injury by cisplatin and treatment with TGFRt15-TGFRs. C57BL/6, 8-week-old mice were purchased from the Jackson Laboratory. The mice were housed in a temperature and light controlled environment. The mice were injected with cisplatin (5 mg/kg, intraperitoneal) weekly for 3 weeks to induce kidney injury. One week after cisplatin, the mice were treated with either PBS or TGFRt15-TGFRs (3 mg/kg) (n =8/group). The mice were euthanized after 30 days of immunotherapy treatment and kidney were harvested and stored in liquid nitrogen in 1.7 mL-Eppendorf tubes. The samples were homogenized by using homogenizer in 0.3 mL of extraction buffer (Abcam). Homogenized tissues were transferred in fresh Eppendorf tubes. Protein levels in homogenized tissue were quantified using BCA Protein Assay Kit (Pierce). Mouse TGFβ ELISA (R&D System) was performed in 200 µg of tissue. The concentration of TGFβ was calculated in per milligram of tissue. As shown in Figure 247, the TGFβ level decreased in TGFRt15-TGFRs treated mice kidney compared to PBS control group. These results indicate that TGFRt15- TGFRs treatment is capable of provide long lasting activity in reducing TGFβ levels in tissues of chemotherapy-treated mice. Example 114: Toxicity of Subcutaneous Administration of TGFRt15-TGFRs in Mice To further assess the dose-dependent toxicological effects of TGFRt15-TGFRs, female C57BL/6 mice (N=3/group) were administered one or two (every two weeks) subcutaneous doses of PBS or TGFRt15-TGFRs at 3, 10, 50, and 200 mg/kg. Animals were monitored for signs of study drug-related toxicities, changes in body weight during the study period and hematology and serum chemistry parameters at day 7 post-dosing. Mice receiving 200 mg/kg TGFRt15-TGFRs exhibited significant body weight loss beginning 4 days after the first injection (study day (SD) 0) and reaching a nadir between SD6–9, before returning to pre-dose levels by SD11 (Figure 248A). Mortality was observed in one mouse of the 200 mg/kg group on SD9. There were no apparent treatment-mediated effects on body weight or other clinical signs in any other dose group or after the second TGFRt15-TGFRs dose at 200 mg/kg. Spleen weights increased in a dose dependent manner following one or two doses of TGFRt15-TGFRs (Figure 248B). Compared to the PBS group, mice also exhibited a 25-fold increase in WBC counts 7 days after a single 200 mg/kg dose of TGFRt15-TGFRs, which remained 5-fold higher 7 days after the second 200 mg/kg dose (Figure 248C, Tables 3 and 4). WBC subset analysis showed a 16-fold increase in absolute lymphocyte counts and >50-fold increase in neutrophil, monocyte, eosinophil, and basophil counts at SD7 in the 200 mg/kg group. These changes were not observed at lower TGFRt15-TGFRs dose levels but were similar to those reported for C57BL/6 mice treated subcutaneously treatment with IL-15/IL- 15Rα complexes (Liu et al., Cytokine 107: 105-112, 2018). Other hematology and serum chemistry parameters were similar in the TGFRt15-TGFRs and PBS treated animals and were generally within expected ranges for C57BL/6 mice (Tables 3 and 4). TGFRt15- TGFRs-mediated effects were greatest 7 days after the first dose and were reduced after the second dose, consistent with previous studies showing decreased immune responses in mice following repeat dosing with IL-15/IL-15Rα (Elpek et al., PNAS 107: 21647- 21652, 2010; Frutoso et al., J Immunol 201: 493-506, 2018). Overall, TGFRt15-TGFRs was well tolerated by C57BL/6 mice at dose levels up to of 50 mg/kg. Table 3. Hematology and serum chemistry parameters of C57BL/6 mice on Study Day 7 after single dose of TGFRt15-TGFRs.

One of three mice in 50 mg/kg TGFRt15-TGFRs group had an observed AST value of 1586 U/L (~6 x ULN). This mouse did not show clinical signs and its ALT value (61 U/L) was within the normal range. Example 115: Sequestration of TGF-β by TGFRt15-TGFRs and TGFRt15*-TGFRs in Mice Female C57BL/6 mice were injected subcutaneously with PBS or 3 mg/kg of TGFRt15-TGFRs or TGFRt15*-TGFRs and plasma was collected at various times post- treatment. Plasma levels of TGF-β1 and TGF-β2 were determined using the TGFβ 3-Plex assay (Eve Technologies, Calgary, AL, Canada). TGFRt15-TGFRs and TGFRt15*- TGFRs were found to significantly decrease plasma TGF-β1 and TGF-β2 levels in C57BL/6 mice 2 days after treatment (Figure 249), consistent with the activity of the TGFβRII domains of these fusion proteins. Example 116: Effects of TGFRt15-TGFRs and TGFRt15*-TGFRs on Immune Cell Metabolism in vivo and in vitro To assess treatment mediated effects on immune cell metabolism, extracellular flux assays were performed on splenocytes isolated from mice 4 days after PBS, TGFRt15-TGFRs, TGFRt15*-TGFRs or IL-15/IL-15R (IL15SA) administration. Extracellular flux assays on mouse splenocytes were performed using a XFp Analyzer (Seahorse Bioscience). As expected, TGFRt15-TGFRs and IL-15 increased the rates of glycolytic capacity (ECAR) (Figure 250A) and mitochondrial respiratory capacity (OCR) (Figure 250B) of the isolated splenocytes in a dose-level-dependent manner. In vivo TGFRt15*-TGFRs treatment also increased ECAR and OCR of splenocytes. This phenomenon was not observed when splenocytes from untreated C57BL/6 mice were incubated 4 days with TGFRt15*-TGFRs in vitro. Only TGFRt15-TGFRs (but not TGFRt15*-TGFRs) was capable of increasing splenocyte ECAR and OCR in vitro at physiologically relevant concentrations (Figures 251A-251B). This suggests that both the IL-15 and TGFβRII domains of TGFRt15-TGFRs have a role in stimulating immune cell metabolism in vivo. Example 117: Antitumor efficacy of TGFRt15-TGFRs and TGFRt15*-TGFRs Against B16F10 Melanoma in C57BL/6 Mice To evaluate TGFRt15-TGFRs and TGFRt15*-TGFRs antitumor efficacy, the murine B16F10 tumor model was selected as it is highly aggressive, poorly immunogenic and devoid of immune infiltrates, expresses TGF-β which plays a role in its growth and is resistant to cytokine and checkpoint blockade immunotherapies. B16F10 melanoma cells (5 x 105 cells) (CRL-6475, ATCC) were subcutaneously injected into C57BL/6 mice followed by subcutaneous injection of PBS, TGFRt15-TGFRs (3 or 20 mg/kg) or TGFRt15*-TGFRs (3 or 20 mg/kg) on day 1 and 4 after tumor implantation. Tumor volume was measured every other day and mice with tumors ≥4000 mm3 were sacrificed per IACUC regulation. Mouse survival was also assessed throughout the study period. When compared through SD15 (i.e., prior to animal mortality), treatment with TGFRt15- TGFRs or TGFRt15*-TGFRs at 20 mg/kg resulted in significantly slower tumor growth than was observed in the PBS treated mice (Figure 252A). Tumor-bearing mice treated with 20 mg/kg TGFRt15-TGFRs also showed prolonged survival when compared to the 3 mg/kg TGFRt15-TGFRs and PBS treatment groups (Figure 252B). These results indicate that TGFRt15-TGFRs and TGFRt15*-TGFRs have antitumor activity against solid B16F10 melanoma tumors with the bifunctional TGFRt15-TGFRs complex exhibiting the greater efficacy. Thus, both the TGFβRII and IL-15/IL-15RαSu domains play a role in TGFRt15-TGFRs-mediated activity against B16F10 tumors. TGFRt15-TGFRs treatment is capable of significantly increasing the number of NK and T cells in vivo. To determine if these immune cells were responsible for TGFRt15-TGFRs–mediated antitumor efficacy, Ab immunodepletion of CD8+ T cells and NK1.1+ cells was conducted in tumor-bearing mice prior to TGFRt15-TGFRs treatment. It was found that NK1.1+ cell depletion (alone or in combination with CD8+ T cell depletion) eliminated the antitumor effects of TGFRt15-TGFRs in B16F10 tumor- bearing mice during the first 2 weeks post-treatment (Figure 252C), whereas either NK1.1+ cell depletion or CD8+ T cell depletion reduced the survival benefit seen with TGFRt15-TGFRs (Figure 252D). Consistent with these findings, TGFRt15-TGFRs treatment also promoted an increase in NK cell and CD8+ T cell infiltration into B16F10 tumors (Figure 252E). These results support the conclusion that both CD8+ T cells and NK cells play a major role in TGFRt15-TGFRs-mediated activity against melanoma tumor cells in C57BL/6 mice. Example 118: TGFRt15-TGFRs Improved the Glucose Control in db/db Mice Five-week-old male BKS.Cg-Dock7m +/+ Leprdb/J (db/db) mice (Jackson Lab) were fed with standard chow diet and maintained in the standard conditions. Mice (n = 5/group) were received subcutaneous injections of either PBS (control group) or TGFRt15-TGFRs (3 mg/kg) (treatment group) at weeks 6 and 12 from the start of the study. The fasting blood glucose and insulin were checked three weeks after the 1st dose. The fasting glucose was significantly reduced (Figure 253A) after TGFRt15-TFGRs treatment compared to controls but blood insulin levels were not changed (Figure 253B). Example 119: TGFRt15-TGFRs Significantly Down-regulated Aging Index and SASP Index Five-week-old male BKS.Cg-Dock7m +/+ Leprdb/J (db/db) mice were fed with standard chow diet and received drinking water ad libitum. At the age of six weeks, mice were randomly assigned to control and treatment groups (n = 5/group). The treatment group received TGFRt15-TGFRs by subcutaneous injection at 3 mg/kg at weeks 6 and 12 from the start of the study, while the control group received vehicle (PBS) only. At end of study (4-weeks post the 2nd dose), mice were euthanized and pancreas was collected. The half of pancreas was homogenized with the TRIzol reagent (Invitrogen) and total tissue RNA was purified with RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen). Synthesis of cDNA was performed using a QuantiTect Reverse Transcription Kit (Qiagen) and quantitative PCR was performed using a SsoAdvanced™ Universal SYBR® Green Supermix (BioRad) and a QuantiStudio 3 Real-Time PCR System (Applied Biosystems) according to comparative threshold cycle method following manufacturer’s protocol. The amplification reactions were performed in duplicate, and the fluorescence curves were analyzed with the software included with the QuantiStudio 3 Real-Time PCR System. The housekeeping gene 18s ribosomal RNA was used as an endogenous control reference. The expression of each target mRNA relative to 18s rRNA was calculated based on Ct as 2–Δ(ΔCt), in which ΔCt = Cttarget– Ct18S. As shown in Figure 254A, TGFRt15-TGFRs treatment of db/db mice resulted in a reduction of pancreatic gene expression for p16, p21, Igfr1, and Bamb1 of the Aging gene index and IL-1α, IL-6, MCP-1, and TNFα of SASP gene index when compared to the control group. Generally, pancreatic expression of genes of the SASP Index and Aging Index were significantly reduced following TGFRt15-TGFRs treatment compared to controls, whereas pancreatic gene expression of the beta cell index was not changed significantly in the TGFRt15- TGFRs and PBS-treated db/db mice.(Figures 254B, 254C, 254D). The data suggested TGFRt15-TGFRs has potent senolytic and senomorphic activities to reduce senescent cells and SASP factors in the pancreas of db/db mice. Example 120: TGFRt15-TGFRs Reduced Senescent Cells of Pancreatic Beta Cells Five-week-old male BKS.Cg-Dock7m +/+ Leprdb/J (db/db) mice (Jackson Lab) were fed with standard chow diet (Irradiated 2018 Teklad global 18% protein rodent diet, Envigo) and received drinking water ad libitum. At the age of six weeks, mice were randomly assigned to control and treatment groups (n = 5/group). The treatment group received TGFRt15-TGFRs by subcutaneous injection at 3 mg/kg at weeks 6 and 12 from the start of the study, while control group received vehicle (PBS) only. At end of study (4-weeks post the 2nd dose), mice were euthanized and pancreata were removed en bloc, immersion-fixed in 4% formaldehyde (4% formaldehyde in 0.1M phosphate buffer; PBS pH 7.4) and stored at 4oC degrees until further processing. Dissected pancreata were paraffinized, embedded, and sectioned, and three 10 mm sections (150 mm apart) were cut from each block representing in total a systematic uniform random sample of the whole pancreas from each animal. Multispectral imaging was performed using the Akoya Vectra Polaris instrument. This instrumentation allows for phenotyping, quantification, and spatial relationship analysis of tissue infiltrate in formalin-fixed paraffin-imbedded biopsy sections. To quantify levels of p21 in insulin+ islet regions of the pancreas, formalin-fixed paraffin- embedded tissue sections were stained consecutively with specific primary antibodies according to standard protocols provided by Akoya and performed routinely by the HIMSR. Briefly, the slides were deparaffinized, heat treated in antigen retrieval buffer, blocked, and incubated with rabbit primary antibodies against insulin (#4590, Cell Signaling Technology) and p21 (EPR362, Abcam), followed by horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated secondary antibody polymer (anti-rabbit), and HRP-reactive OPAL fluorescent reagents (OPAL-520 for insulin and OPAL-570 for p21, Akoya) that use TSA chemistry to deposit dyes on the tissue immediately surrounding each HRP molecule. To prevent further deposition of fluorescent dyes in subsequent staining steps, the slides were stripped in between each stain with heat treatment in antigen retrieval buffer (Citrate buffer for insulin and EDTA buffer for p21). Whole slide scans were collected with the Akoya Vectra Polaris instrument using the 20x objective with a 0.5 micron resolution. The 3 color images were analyzed with inForm software (Akoya) to unmix adjacent fluorochromes, subtract autofluorescence, segment insulin+ regions of the tissue, compare the frequency and location of cells, segment cellular cytoplasmic and nuclear regions, and phenotype infiltrating cells according to cell marker expression. As shown in Figure 255A-255D, p21 positive senescent cells (OPAL-570) were accumulated more in insulin positive islet beta cells (OPAL-520) in pancreas of control group (Figure 255A) and these senescent cells were reduced in pancreas of TGFRt15- TGFRs treatment group (Figure 255B). The insulin positive islet cells were significantly increased in TGFRt15-TGFRs treatment group compared with the control group (p=0.0278, Figure 255C). The p21 positive senescent beta cells (insulin positive) were reduced in TGFRt15-TGFRs treated group compared with the control group though the difference was not statistically significant (Figure 255D). Overall, the data suggested TGFR15-TGFRs has senolytic activity to remove senescent cells and promotes the recovery of normal functional islet beta cells in the pancreas of db/db mice. Example 121: TGFRt15-TGFRs Reduced Senescent Cells of Pancreatic Beta Cells by Increasing NK, NKT, and CD8+ T cells Five-week-old male BKS.Cg-Dock7m +/+ Leprdb/J (db/db) mice (Jackson Lab) were fed with standard chow diet (Irradiated 2018 Teklad global 18% protein rodent diet, Envigo) and received drinking water ad libitum. At the age of six weeks, mice were randomly assigned into control and treatment groups (n = 5/group). The treatment group received TGFRt15-TGFRs by subcutaneous injection at 3 mg/kg at weeks 6 and 12 from the start of the study, while control group received vehicle (PBS) only. Four days after the 1st dose treatment, blood was collected and whole blood cells (50 mL) were treated with ACK (Ammonium-Chloride-Potassium) lysing buffer to lyse red blood cells. The lymphocytes were then stained with PE-Cy7-anti-CD3, BV605-anti- CD45, PerCP-Cy5.5-anti-CD8a, BV510-anti-CD4, and APC-anti-NKp46 antibodies (all antibodies from BioLegend) to assess the population of T cells, NKT cells, and NK cells. As shown in Figure 256A-256C, the percentages of CD8+ T cells, CD3+NKP46+ NKT cells, and CD3-NKP46+ NK cells increased in the blood of db/db mice following treatment with TGFRt15-TGFRs compared to the PBS-treated mice. Example 122: Phenotyping of Immune Cell Subsets in Peripheral Blood of Cynomolgus Monkeys Following Administration of TGFRt15-TGFRs Cynomolgus monkeys (5M:5F per group) were treated subcutaneously with PBS (vehicle) or TGFRt15-TGFRs at 1, 3 or 10 mg/kg on study days 1 and 15. Blood was collected pre-day (day 1) and days 5, 22 and 29 post-treatment. PBMCs were prepared and stained with a panel of fluor-conjugated antibodies to assess the phenotypes of B cells, NK cells, NK-T cells, Treg cells and CD4+ and CD8+ T cells by flow cytometry. Figure 257 shows that TGFRt15-TGFRs administration resulted in a significant increase in the percentage of Ki67+ NK cells, NK-T cells, Treg cells and CD4+ and CD8+ T cells on day 5 post-treatment. These findings indicate that TGFRt15-TGFRs treatment induced proliferation of these lymphocyte subsets in non-human primates. No treatment effects were observed on Ki67 expression in B cells. Example 123: IL-15 Immunostimulatory and TGF-β Antagonist Activities of TGFRt15-TGFRs Six-week-old (young) and 72-week-old (aged) C57BL/6 mice were subcutaneously injected with single dose of PBS, TGFRt15-TGFRs (3 mg/kg) or TGFRt15*-TGFRs (3 mg/kg). On day 4 after treatment, mice were sacrificed, and the spleens were harvested. The spleens were crushed with flat back end of the sterile piston/plunger of 3 cc syringe to release the splenocytes. The splenocytes were passed through a 70 μM cell strainer and homogenized into a single cell suspension. The RBCs were lysed in ACK lysis buffer and the splenocytes were washed and counted. To measure the glycolytic activity of the splenocytes, the cells were washed and resuspended in Seahorse media and resuspended at 4 x 106 cells/mL. Cells were seeded at 50 µL/well in Cell-Tak-coated Seahorse Bioanalyzer XFe96 culture plates in Seahorse XF RPMI medium, pH 7.4 supplemented with 2 mM L-glutamine for glycolysis stress test. The cells were allowed to attach to the plate for 30 min at 37°C. Additionally, 130 µL of the assay medium was added to each well of the plate (also the background wells). The plate was incubated in 37°C, non-CO2 incubator for 1 hr. For glycolysis stress test the calibration plate contained 10x solution of glucose/oligomycin/2DG prepared in Seahorse assay media and 20 µL of glucose/oligomycin/2DG were added to each of the ports of the extracellular flux plate that was calibrated overnight. The glycolysis stress test is based on extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) and measures three key parameters of glycolytic function including glycolysis, glycolytic capacity and glycolytic reserve. Complete ECAR analysis consisted of four stages: non glycolytic acidification (without drugs), glycolysis (10 mM glucose), maximal glycolysis induction/glycolytic capacity (2 μM oligomycin), and glycolysis reserve (100 mM 2-DG). At the end of the experiment the data was exported as a Graph Pad Prism file. The XF glycolysis stress test report generator automatically calculated the XF cell glycolysis stress test parameters from the Wave data. The data was analyzed using the Wave software (Agilent). As shown in Figure 258, the splenocytes isolated from aged mice on day 4 after TGFRt15-TGFRs treatment showed enhanced basal glycolysis, glycolysis capacity, and glycolysis reserve rates, when compared to splenocytes of the PBS or TGFRt15*-TGFRs treatment groups. The glycolytic function of splenocytes of aged control mice was less than that of the young control mice. Treatment of young and aged mice with TGFRt15*- TGFRs was capable of increasing splenocyte glycolytic function. However, TGFRt15- TGFRs treatment of aged mice was able to increase the rates of splenocyte basal glycolysis, glycolysis capacity, and glycolysis reserve to levels equivalent to those observed in the splenocytes from TGFRt15-TGFRs treated young mice. These findings suggest that the IL-15 immunostimulatory and TGF-β antagonist activities of TGFRt15- TGFRs effectively stimulate and rejuvenate the diminished metabolic activity of immune cells from aged mice. Six-week-old (young) and 72-week-old (aged) C57BL/6 mice were subcutaneously injected with single dose of PBS, TGFRt15-TGFRs (3 mg/kg) or TGFRt15*-TGFRs (3 mg/kg). On day 4 after treatment, mice were sacrificed, and the spleens were harvested. The spleens were crushed with flat back end of the sterile piston/plunger of 3 cc syringe to release the splenocytes. The splenocytes were passed through a 70 μM cell strainer and homogenized into a single cell suspension. The RBCs were lysed in ACK lysis buffer and the splenocytes were washed and counted. To measure the mitochondrial respiration of the splenocytes, the cells were washed and resuspended in Seahorse media and resuspended at 4 x 106 cells/mL. Cells were seeded at 50 µL/well in Cell-Tak-coated Seahorse Bioanalyzer XFe96 culture plates in Seahorse XF RPMI medium, pH 7.4 supplemented with 2 mM L-glutamine for glycolysis stress test. For mitochondrial stress test, the cells were seeded in Seahorse XF RPMI medium, pH 7.4 supplemented with 10 mM glucose and 2 mM L-glutamine. The cells were allowed to attach to the plate for 30 min at 37°C. Additionally, 130 µL of the assay medium was added to each well of the plate (also the background wells). The plate was incubated in 37°C, non-CO2 incubator for 1 hr. For mitochondrial stress test, the calibration plate contained 10x solution of oligomycin/FCCP/rotenone prepared in Seahorse assay media and 20 µL of oligomycin, FCCP and rotenone was added to each of the ports of the extracellular flux plate that was calibrated overnight. Oxygen consumption rate (OCR) was measured using an XFe96 Extracellular Flux Analyzer. Complete OCR analysis consisted of four stages: basal respiration (without drugs), ATP- linked respiration/Proton leak (1.5 µM oligomycin), maximal respiration (2 μM FCCP), and spare respiration (0.5 µM rotenone). At the end of the experiment, the data was exported as a Graph Pad Prism file. The XF mitochondrial stress test report generator automatically calculates the XF mitochondrial stress test parameters from the Wave data that have been exported to Excel. The data was analyzed by using the Wave software (Agilent). As shown in Figure 259, the splenocytes isolated from aged mice on day 4 after TGFRt15-TGFRs therapy showed enhanced basal respiration, ATP-linked respiration, maximal respiration, and reserve capacity, when compared to splenocytes of the PBS or TGFRt15*-TGFRs treatment groups. Treatment of young and aged mice with TGFRt15*-TGFRs was capable of increasing splenocyte mitochondrial respiration. However, TGFRt15-TGFRs treatment in aged mice able to increase the rates of basal respiration, ATP-linked respiration, maximal respiration, and reserve capacity to levels equivalent or higher to those observed in the splenocytes from TGFRt15-TGFRs treated young mice. These findings suggest that the IL-15 immunostimulatory and TGF-β antagonist activities of TGFRt15-TGFRs effectively stimulate and rejuvenate the diminished metabolic activity of immune cells from aged mice. Example 124: IL-15 Activity of TGFRt15-TGFRs Plays a Role in Increasing CD8+ T Cells and NK Cells Six-week-old (young) and 72-week-old (aged) C57BL/6 mice were purchased from the Jackson Laboratory. Mice were housed in a temperature and light controlled environment. Mice (n =6/group) were treated subcutaneously with PBS, TGFRt15- TGFRs (3 mg/kg) and TGFRt15*-TGFRs (3 mg/kg). The mouse blood was collected from submandibular vein on day 4 post treatment in tubes containing EDTA to evaluate changes in the different subsets of immune cells. Whole blood RBCs were lysed in ACK buffer for 5 minutes at room temperature. Remaining cells were washed in FACS buffer (1X PBS (Hyclone) with 0.5% BSA (EMD Millipore) and 0.001% sodium azide (Sigma)). To assess the different types of immune cells in blood, cells were stained with antibodies specific to cell-surface CD3, CD4, CD45, CD8 and NK1.1 (BioLegend) for 30 min at room temperature (RT). After surface staining, cells were washed (1500 RPM for 5 min at RT) in FACS buffer (1X PBS (Hyclone) with 0.5% BSA (EMD Millipore) and 0.001% sodium azide (Sigma)). After two washes, cells were resuspended in fixation buffer and analyzed by flow cytometry (Celesta-BD Bioscience). As shown in Figure 260, the results indicate that treatment of aged mice with TGFRt15-TGFRs induced an increase in the percentages of CD3+CD45+, CD3+CD8+, and CD3-NK1.1+ immune cells in the blood, whereas treatment of aged mice with TGFRt15*-TGFRs had no effect on the percentage of these blood cell populations. These results suggest that IL-15 activity of TGFRt15-TGFRs plays a role in increasing CD8+ T cells and NK cells in the blood of aged mice. The percentage of blood T cells and NK cells in aged control mice was less than that of the young control mice. However, treatment of aged mice with TGFRt15-TGFRs increased the percentages of CD3+CD45+, CD3+CD8+, and CD3-NK1.1+ immune cells in the blood to levels similar to those observed in the blood of TGFRt15-TGFRs treated young mice. Six-week-old (young) and 72-week-old (aged) C57BL/6 mice were purchased from the Jackson Laboratory. Mice were housed in a temperature and light controlled environment. Mice (n =6/group) were treated subcutaneously with PBS, TGFRt15- TGFRs (3 mg/kg) and TGFRt15*-TGFRs (3 mg/kg). Four days after treatment, the mice were euthanized, and spleen was harvested and processed to a single cell suspension. Single cells suspension was prepared in order to evaluate the different subsets of immune cells. RBCs were lysed in ACK buffer for 5 min at room temperature. The remaining cells were washed in FACS buffer (1X PBS (Hyclone) with 0.5% BSA (EMD Millipore) and 0.001% sodium azide (Sigma)). To assess the different types of immune cells in spleen, cells were stained with antibodies specific to cell-surface CD3, CD45, CD8 and NK1.1 (BioLegend) for 30 minutes at RT. After surface staining, cells were washed (1500 RPM for 5 min at room temperature) in FACS buffer (1X PBS (Hyclone) with 0.5% BSA (EMD Millipore) and 0.001% sodium azide (Sigma)). After two washes, cells were resuspended in fixation buffer and analyzed by flow cytometry (Celesta-BD Bioscience). As shown in Figure 261, the results indicate that treatment of aged mice with TGFRt15-TGFRs induced an increase in the percentages of CD3+CD45+, CD3+CD8+, and CD3-NK1.1+ immune cells in the spleen, whereas treatment of aged mice with TGFRt15*-TGFRs had no effect on the percentage of these splenocyte populations. These results suggest that IL-15 activity of TGFRt15-TGFRs plays a role in increasing CD8+ T cells and NK cells in the blood of aged mice. The percentage of spleen T cells and NK cells in aged control mice was less than that of the young control mice. However, treatment of aged mice with TGFRt15-TGFRs increased the percentages of CD3+CD45+, CD3+CD8+, and CD3-NK1.1+ immune cells in the spleen to levels similar to those observed in the spleen of TGFRt15-TGFRs treated young mice. Example 125: TGFRt15-TGFRs-associated Decrease in Naturally-occurring Senescent Cells in the Liver Seventy-two-week-old (aged) C57BL/6 mice were purchased from the Jackson Laboratory. Mice were housed in a temperature and light controlled environment. Mice (n =8/group) were treated subcutaneously with either PBS or one dose or two doses (at day 0 and 60) of TGFRt15-TGFRs (3 mg/kg). On day 71 post treatment, mice were euthanized and the livers were harvested and stored in liquid nitrogen in 1.7 mL Eppendorf tubes. Tissue samples were homogenized by using homogenizer in 1 mL of Trizol (Thermo Fischer). Homogenized tissues were transferred in fresh Eppendorf tubes and total RNA was extracted using RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen #74106) according to the manufacturer's instructions. One µg of total RNA was used for cDNA synthesis using the QuantiTect Reverse Transcription Kit (Qiagen). Real-time PCR was carried out with CFX96 Detection System (Bio-Rad) using FAM labeled predesigned primers purchased from Thermo Scientific. Reactions were run in triplicate for all the genes examined. The housekeeping gene 18S ribosomal RNA was used as an internal control to normalize the variability in gene expression levels. The expression of each target mRNA relative to 18S rRNA was calculated based on Ct as 2–Δ(ΔCt), in which ΔCt = Cttarget– Ct18S. Untreated 6-week-old mice were used as a control to compare the gene expression level to aged mice. The results showed that gene expression of IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-6, p21 and PAI-1 in liver increased with the age of the mice as expected with the age-dependent increase in cellular senescence-associated transcripts. Treatment of 72-week-old mice with a single dose or two doses of TGFRt15-TGFRs resulted in a significant reduction in gene expression of senescence markers IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-6, p21 and PAI-1 in liver when compared to the PBS control group (Figure 262). These findings suggest a TGFRt15- TGFRs-associated decrease in naturally-occurring senescent cells in the liver of aged mice. Example 126: TGFRt15-TGFRs Treatment is Capable of Reducing Inflammation in Liver Tissues Seventy-two-week-old (aged) C57BL/6 mice were purchased from the Jackson Laboratory. Mice were housed in a temperature and light controlled environment. Mice (n =10/group) were treated subcutaneously with either PBS or one or two doses of TGFRt15-TGFRs (3 mg/kg). On day 120 after treatment, mice were euthanized and the mouse liver was prepared to evaluate by histochemistry. Liver tissue specimens were fixed in 10% formaldehyde and after a paraffin blocking procedure, cross-sections were stained with hematoxylin-eosin. The extent of liver injury was evaluated histologically in a blinded manner. Histological sections of whole liver areas were scores for inflammation using a scale from 0 to 4 (0, absent and appearing to be normal; 1, light; 2, moderate; 3, strong; and 4, intense). As shown in Figure 263, two doses of TGFRt15-TGFRs decrease the liver inflammation score in liver of aged mice compared to single dose TGFRt15- TGFRs or PBS control groups. These results suggest that TGFRt15-TGFRs treatment is capable of reducing inflammation in liver tissues of aged mice. Example 127: TGFRt15-TGFRs Treatment can Reduce IL1- ^, IL-6, IL-8, PAI-1 and Fibronectin Protein Levels Seventy-two-week-old (aged) C57BL/6 mice were purchased from the Jackson Laboratory. Mice were housed in a temperature and light controlled environment. Mice (n =10/group) were treated with either PBS or one dose or two doses (at day 0 and 60) of TGFRt15-TGFRs (3 mg/kg). On day 120 after treatment, mice were euthanized and liver were harvested and stored in liquid nitrogen in 1.7 mL Eppendorf tubes. Tissue samples were homogenized by using homogenizer in 0.3 mL of extraction buffer (Abcam). Homogenized tissues were transferred in fresh Eppendorf tubes. Protein levels in homogenized tissue were quantified using BCA Protein Assay Kit (Pierce). An ELISA to detect IL-1 ^, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, TGF-β, PAI-1, collagen and fibronectin (R&D System) was performed using 25 µg of tissue homogenize. As shown in Figure 264, protein levels of IL-1 ^, IL-6, IL-8, PAI-1 and fibronectin were reduced in liver of mice treated with 2 doses of TGFRt15-TGFRs compared to PBS control or one dose TGFRt15-TGFRs treatment groups. These results indicate that 2 doses of TGFRt15-TGFRs treatment can reduce IL-1 ^, IL-6, IL-8, PAI-1 and fibronectin protein levels in liver of aged mice. Protein levels of IL-1β, TGF-β and collagen were also lower in liver of mice treated with 2 doses of TGFRt15-TGFRs compared to PBS controls; however, these changes did not reach statistical significance. Example 128: TGFRt15-TGFRs Reduces Senescence Cells Seventy-two-week-old (aged) C57BL/6 aged mice which were purchased from the Jackson Laboratory. Mice were housed in a temperature and light controlled environment. Mice (n =5/group) were treated subcutaneously with either PBS or TGFRt15-TGFRs (3 mg/kg). On day 4 after treatment, mice were euthanized and livers were harvested, homogenized in PBS containing 2% FBS, and filtered in 70-micron filter to obtain a single cell suspension. Cells were spun down then resuspended in 5 mL RPMI containing 0.5 mg/mL collagenase IV and 0.02 mg/mL DNAse in 14 mL round bottom tubes. Cells were then shaken on orbital shaker for 1 hr at 37°C and washed twice with RPMI. Cells were resuspended at 2 x 106/mL in 24 wells flat bottom plate in 2 mL of complete media (RPMI 1640 (Gibco) supplemented with 2 mM L-glutamine (Thermo Life Technologies), penicillin (Thermo Life Technologies), streptomycin (Thermo Life Technologies), and 10% FBS (Hyclone)) and cultured for 48 hr at 37°C, 5% CO2. Cells were harvested, washed once in warm complete media at 1000 rpm for 10 minutes at room temperature. Cell pellet was resuspended in 500 µL of fresh media containing 1.5 µL of Senescence Dye per tube (Abcam). Cells were further incubated for 1-2 hr at 37°C, 5% CO2 and wash twice with 500 µL wash buffer. Cell pellet was resuspended in 500 µL of wash buffer and was analyzed immediately by flow cytometry (Celesta-BD Bioscience). As shown in Figure 265, the percentage of senescence marker β-gal+ cells were decreased 4 days after in vivo treatment with TGFRt15-TGFR. These results demonstrate that TGFRt15-TGFRs is capable of reducing senescence cells (based on the β-gal marker) in liver of aged mice. Example 129: Effects of TGFRt15-TGFRs on Survival of Aged Mice Seventy-two-week-old C57BL/6 mice were purchased from the Jackson Laboratory. Mice were housed in a temperature and light controlled environment. Mice were treated subcutaneously with either PBS or one dose of TGFRt15-TGFRs (3 mg/kg) (n =20/group). Mice were monitored every day for survival up to 120 weeks post treatment. The survival probability of the treatment groups based on the Mantel-Cox log- rank test is shown in Figure 266. Compared with TGFRt15-TGFRs, higher mortality rates were found in control mice which was represented by a decline in the survival rates of the mice. By week 120 post treatment, there was a 70% mortality rate in PBS control mice compared to a 45% mortality rate in the TGFRt15-TGFRs-treated mice. Example 130: Effects of TGFRt15-TGFRs in Reducing SASP Factors in Liver of B16F10 Tumor-bearing Mice Following Chemotherapy The effects of TGFRt15-TGFRs treatment in reducing protein levels of SASP factors in B16F10 tumor-bearing mice following chemotherapy were further assessed. B16F10 tumor cells (1 x107 cells/mouse) were implanted in mice on day 0. The mice were treated subcutaneously with 10 mg/kg docetaxel on days 1, 4, and 7. On day 8, the mice were treated subcutaneously with PBS or TGFRt15-TGFRs (3 mg/kg). Mice were euthanized on day 17 post-tumor inoculation and livers were collected and homogenized. Protein levels of SASP factors in the liver homogenates was determined by ELISA. As shown in Figure 267, in vivo treatment with TGFRt15-TGFRs resulted in a significant reduction in levels of liver IL-1α, IL-6, TNFα and IL-8 SASP factors in B16F10 tumor bearing mice following chemotherapy. Example 131: Role of Immune Cell Subsets in TGFRt15-TGFRs-mediated Elimination of Senescent Tumor Cells in B16F10 Melanoma Mouse Model To assess the role of immune cell subsets in TGFRt15-TGFRs-mediated senescent-tumor-cell elimination, in vitro-docetaxel induced senescent B16F10-GFP tumor cells were mixed with parental B16F10 cells were implanted subcutaneously in mice following treatment with anti-NK1.1 or anti-CD8a antibodies. When tumors reached to approximately 350 mm3, mice were randomized to receive subcutaneous treatment with PBS or TGFRt15-TGFRs (3 mg/kg) + TA99 (200 µg). The mice were sacrificed day 4 post-therapy and tumors were collected and analyzed. The level of GFP- positive B16F10-GFP TIS cells and NK and CD8+ T cells in the tumors were assess by flow cytometry. As shown in Figure 268A, TGFRt15-TGFRs-treated mixed tumors without immunodepletion or depleted for CD8+ T immune cells contained significantly fewer GFP-expressing senescence tumor cells than that of control treated mice. It was also observed that the tumors of CD8+ depleted mice were significantly infiltrated with NK cells and tumors of NK depleted mice were significantly infiltrated with CD8+ T cells (Figure 268B). These results suggested that both NK and CD8+ T cells play a role in controlling tumor growth with NK cells predominately mediating the activity of TGFRt15-TGFRs to deplete TIS tumor cells. Example 132: Anti-PD-L1 Antibody in Combination with TGFRt15-TGFRs+TA99 and Chemotherapy in B16F10 Melanoma Mouse Model To further assess a sequential TGFRt15-TGFRs-immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment regimen (described in Example 109), B16F10 tumor-bearing mice were first treated with doxetaxel (DTX) and then either TGFRt15-TGFRs+TA99 followed by anti- PD-L1 antibody or anti-PD-L1 antibody followed by TGFRt15-TGFRs+TA99 (Figure 269A). Tumor growth curves and end point tumor volume at day 18 indicated that both combination strategies (TGFRt15-TGFRs+TA99 followed by anti-PD-L1 and vice versa) showed significant tumor volume reduction as compared to the individual immunotherapies (either TGFRt15-TGFRs+TA99 or anti PD-L1 alone) or DTX alone (Figure 269B). Interestingly, TGFRt15-TGFRs +TA99-treated tumors showed significantly lower tumor volume at day 13 prior to start of combination treatments as compared to anti-PD-L1-treated tumors, showing the effect of TGFRt15-TGFRs+TA99 in initial control of tumor growth. End point analysis also showed that tumors treated with the combination of TGFRt15-TGFRs+TA99 and anti-PD-L1 antibody led to significantly increased levels of tumor infiltrating CD8+ T cells and NK cells as compared to single treatment groups. Combination treatment increased the expression of costimulatory receptor CD28 on CD8+ TILs compared to single treatment suggesting that checkpoint blockade could rescue dysfunctional CD8+ TILs that are further activated by IL-15 activity of TGFRt15-TGFRs within the tumor microenvironment (Figure 269C). This was concomitant with enhanced activation phenotype (IFNγ secretion) of splenic CD8+ T cells from combination treatment group following stimulation with PMA/ionomycin (Figure 269D). Combination treatment also showed increased NKG2D expression on total CD8+ T cells and CD44hi CD8+ T cells in the tumors compared to the individual immunotherapy treatment (Figure 269E). These data collectively shows that combination therapy of TGFRt15-TGFRs+TA99 and anti-PD-L1 antibody led to activation and infiltration of CD8+ T cells that may contributed to effective tumor control. Example 133: Antitumor Efficacy of TGFRt15-TGFRs in Combination with Chemotherapy against SW1990 Human Pancreatic Tumors in C57BL/6 SCID Mice To further assess the anti-tumor activity of TGFRt15-TGFRs in combination with chemotherapy, SW1990 human pancreatic cancer cells (2x106 cells/mouse) were subcutaneously (s.c.) injected into C57BL/6 scid mice. Nine days after tumor cell implantation, gemcitabine (40 mg/kg, i.p.) and nab-paclitaxel (Abraxane) (5 mg/kg, i.p.) chemotherapy was initiated followed 2 days later by TGFRt15-TGFRs (3 mg/kg, s.c.). This was considered one treatment cycle and was repeated for another 3 cycles (1 cycle/week) (Figure 270A). Tumor-bearing control groups received PBS, chemotherapy, or TGFRt15-TGFRs treatment alone. During and after the study treatment, tumor volumes were measured and animal survival based on tumor volume < 4000 mm3 was assessed. The results indicated that the animals receiving a combination of TGFRt15- TGFRs and chemotherapy had significantly slower SW1990 tumor growth comparing to the PBS group (Figure 270B-270C). TGFRt15-TGFRs + chemotherapy also prolonged survival of SW1990 tumor-bearing mice (Figure 270D). These results confirm that TGFRt15-TGFRs enhanced the efficacy of standard of care chemotherapy against human pancreatic tumors in a mouse xenograft tumor model.
