Abstract

Dysfunctional or exhausted T cells arise in chronic diseases including chronic viral infections and cancer, and express high levels of co-inhibitory receptors. Therapeutic blockade of these receptors has clinical efficacy in the treatment of cancer. While co-inhibitory receptors are co-expressed, the triggers that induce them and the transcriptional regulators that drive their co-expression have not been identified. The immunoregulatory cytokine IL-27 induces a gene module in T cells that includes several known co-inhibitory receptors (Tim-3, Lag-3, and TIGIT). The present invention provides a novel immunoregulatory network and novel cell surface molecules that have an inhibitory function in the tumor microenvironment. The present invention further provides the novel discovery that the transcription factors Prdm1 and c-Maf cooperatively regulate the expression of the co-inhibitory receptor module. This critical molecular circuit underlies the expression of co-inhibitory receptors such as ILT-3 in dysfunctional T cells and identifies novel regulators of T cell dysfunction.

Claims (26)

1. A method of modulating Th17 cells in a subject, comprising:

contacting a Th17 cell with one or more modulating agents that decreases activity, function, or a combination thereof of ILT-3;

wherein the one or more modulating agents comprises an antibody comprising (i) both variable regions of ZM3.8 or (ii) an antibody comprising both variable regions of ZM4.1, or a combination of (i) and (ii).

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein modulating comprises a decrease in a Th17 T cell phenotype.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the Th17 T cells are shifted to a Treg phenotype.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein modulating comprises an increase in a pathogenic Th17 T cell phenotype.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more modulating agents promotes or inhibits binding of ILT-3 to one or more ILT3 ligands.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the one or more ILT3 ligands is αvβ, CD166, ANGPT1, ANGPT2, ANGPT3, ANGPT4, ANGPTL1, ANGPTL2, ANGPTL3, ANGPTL4, ANGPTL5, ANGPTL6, ANGPTL7, or ANGPTL8.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more modulating agents inhibits binding of ILT-3 to integrin αvβ3.

8. The method of claim 2 , wherein the Th17 cells are shifted away from a Th17 phenotype.

9. The method of claim 4 , wherein the Th17 cells are shifted to a pathogenic Th17 phenotype.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subject is suffering from cancer, persistent infection, or an autoimmune disease.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the autoimmune disease is multiple sclerosis.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subject has been determined to comprise immune cells which express PDPN, PROCR, PRDM1, and c-MAF, or a combination thereof.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:

detecting T cells exhibiting an exhausted phenotype or the presence of pathogenic Th17 T cells comprising:

detecting, in a sample comprising T cells, a level of expression, activity, function or a combination thereof of:

(a) an ILT-3 gene or gene product,

(b) an angiopoietin gene or gene product,

(c) a CD166 gene or gene product, or

(d) a combination thereof, and

comparing the detected level of expression, activity, function, or a combination thereof to a reference or control, wherein a difference in the detected level relative to the reference or control indicates the presence of T cells exhibiting an exhausted phenotype or wherein a difference in the detected level relative to the reference or control indicates the presence of pathogenic Th17 T cells.

14. A method of modulating Th17 cells comprising:

contacting a Th17 cell with one or more modulating agents that decrease activity, function, or a combination thereof of ILT-3, wherein the one or more modulating agents comprises (i) an antibody comprising both variable regions of ZM3.8 or (ii) an antibody comprising both variable regions ZM4.1, or a combination of (i) and (ii).

15. A method of modulating an isolated Th17 cell or a population thereof from a subject comprising:

contacting the isolated Th17 cell or the population thereof with one or more modulating agents that decreases the activity, function, or a combination thereof of ILT-3, wherein the one or more modulating agents comprises (i) an antibody comprising both variable regions of ZM3.8 or (ii) an antibody comprising both variable regions ZM4.1, or a combination of (i) and (ii).
