This invention relates to the generation of artificial synapses or extracellular vesicles, including features of extracellular vesicles engineered to deliver signaling, for therapeutic use, including treatment of immune diseases and cancer.
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) play a critical role in intercellular communication by transferring microRNAs, lipids, and proteins to neighboring cells. The delivery of encapsulated molecules within EVs is a highly promising strategy as a therapeutic platform in many contexts, exploiting the unique biophysical and biochemical characteristics of extracellular vesicles (EVs). However, there remains a great need in the art for a flexible and dynamic platform, where specific biological signals can be reliably targeted without off-target effects and that provide a robust cellular response to achieve a therapeutic effect, such as modulating inflammation.
The compositions and methods provided herein are based, in part, on the discovery that extracellular vesicles can be used to express engineered fusion polypeptides that can modulate biological signal generation. These engineered vesicles, also termed artificial synapses, adopt the hallmark biophysical and biochemical features of extracellular vesicles, but are further engineered with vesicle targeting domains (e.g., sticky binders) and signaling domains, optionally joined by a linker with specific functions. The fusion polypeptides provided herein are designed and produced as nucleic acid constructs (e.g., vectors) and expressed in cells, such as mammalian cells. In particular, the vesicle targeting domain of each fusion polypeptide anchors the polypeptide to the extracellular vesicle lipid membrane, thereby presenting the signaling domain(s) of the polypeptide. The signaling domains on or within the vesicle membrane can make contact with recipient cells via target polypeptides (e.g., receptors on the extracellular surface of the recipient cell). Importantly, this strategy can allow for kinetically favorable signal generation and signal propagation. This includes, for example, increasing density of agonist presentation to support receptor clustering of a target receptor located on a target cell—an onerous barrier for traditional receptor targeting strategies.
This strategy was applied to alter immune checkpoint signaling, by engineering artificial synapses through genetic constructs with lipid binding glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) sticky binders joined with programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) signaling domain, e.g., human programmed death-ligand 1 (hPD-L1), expressed in cells and capable of attachment to exosomes. Isolation, purification, and analysis of artificial synapses revealed a high density of signaling domains of the hPD-L1-GPI fusion polypeptide. The hPD-L1 artificial synapse exosomes further demonstrated enhanced agonist signaling than soluble PD-L1 ligand alone, supporting receptor clustering on a target cell. When applied to a model of experimental autoimmune uveoretinitis (EAU), a statistically significant reduction in EAU symptoms was observed.

The compositions and methods provided herein are based, in part, on the discovery that engineered extracellular vesicles (e.g., exosomes) expressing an engineered fusion protein (e.g., PD-L1) reduces inflammation in an animal model of experimental autoimmune uveoretinitis (EAU), an autoimmune disorder. The compositions and methods provided herein are further based, in part, on the discovery that engineered extracellular vesicles produce enhanced signaling compared to an equal quantity of recombinant ligand. Since some cellular receptors, (e.g., PD-1) require clustering or super-clustering to promote a signaling response, it stands to reason that extracellular vesicles engineered to express ligands on their surface wherein the ligands may engage target receptors on target cells and promote clustering of said target receptors thereby promoting a signal response on said target cell.
In one aspect, provided herein is an engineered extracellular vesicle comprising: at least one fusion polypeptide comprising: at least one protein of interest (POI) domain; and at least one vesicle targeting domain. In some embodiments of any of the aspects, the engineered extracellular vesicle is an exosome. In some embodiments, of any of the aspects, the fusion protein further comprises at least one linker. In some embodiments of any of the aspects, the POI domain can substantially bind to a target polypeptide. In some embodiments of any of the aspects provided herein, the engineered extracellular vesicle is an artificial synapse.
Generally, the extracellular vesicles (e.g., exosomes) provided herein are produced by contacting a population of cells with a nucleic acid construct encoding the fusion proteins provided herein and isolating a plurality of extracellular vesicles. The extracellular vesicles can then be purified by methods provided herein and are formulated for therapeutic use, including but not limited to, for the treatment of autoimmune diseases, cancer, or modulating inflammation in a subject.
The compositions and methods provided herein are specifically designed to exploit the membrane trafficking mechanisms of extracellular vesicles and rely on the hallmark biophysical and biochemical properties of extracellular vesicles, such as exosomes. The vesicles/artificial synapses provided herein are specifically engineered to induce/agonize and propagate biological signaling via a target polypeptide (e.g., by activating a receptor or enzyme or agonizing said receptor or enzyme). Alternatively, the engineered extracellular vesicles provided herein can act as cellular decoys or to reduce or antagonize biological signaling, e.g., by blocking an endogenous ligand from binding to a target cellular receptor and preventing activation of the receptor.
Engineering of the extracellular vesicles provided herein extends these capabilities significantly by incorporating sticky binders attaching to extracellular vesicles such as exosomes, further coupled with signaling domains of choice. For example, attachment of sticky binders to exosomes, along with their linked signaling domains, allows for receptor clustering for biological signal induction/agonism and propagation not otherwise possible. In this aspect, the aforementioned design achieves the aim of an engineered extracellular vesicle by inducing the desired biological signaling in a target recipient cell.
Various aspects and embodiments of the compositions and methods are provided herein in detail below.
Engineered Extracellular Vesicle (EV) Compositions
The compositions provided herein comprises at least one extracellular vesicle (also termed artificial synapse or abbrv: EV), wherein the extracellular vesicle comprises at least one fusion polypeptide or a plurality of fusion polypeptides comprising: at least one vesicle targeting domain (e.g., sticky binders); and at least one protein of interest domain or a fragment thereof (also termed signaling domains).
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are lipid particles that are released from various cell types that function to transfer “cargo” such as nucleic acids and proteins to other cells. EVs are not able to replicate but serve as cell messengers. EV-mediated signals can be transmitted by all the different biomolecule categories—protein, lipids, nucleic acids and sugars—and the unique package of this information provides both protection and the option of simultaneous delivery of multiple different messengers even to sites remote to the vesicular origin. See, e.g., Yañez-Mó M, Siljander P R, Andreu Z, et al. Biological properties of extracellular vesicles and their physiological functions. J Extracell Vesicles. 2015; 4:27066. Published 2015 May 14. doi:10.3402/jev.v4.27066, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Furthermore, there is an increasing amount of evidence that shows that EVs can modulate a milieu of cellular signaling processes. See, e.g., Yadid et al.

In some embodiments, the fusion polypeptide comprises one or more, two or more, three or more, four or more, five or more, or six or more vesicle targeting domains on the same polypeptide or nucleic acid construct encoding said polypeptide. For example, the fusion polypeptides provided herein can comprise PD-L1 and Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI).
In some embodiments, the vesicle targeting domain is a prenylated protein. Prenylated proteins are proteins that have at least one prenylation site. Prenylation occurs when a 15-carbon or 20-carbon, farnesyl or geranylgeranyl isoprenoid, respectively, is covalently bound via a thioether bond to a cysteine at or near the carboxy terminus of a protein. In general, a prenylation site comprises an amino acid sequence CAAX, wherein C represents cysteine, A represents an aliphatic amino acid (glycine, alanine, valine, leucine, or isoleucine), and X represents alanine, methionine, serine, leucine, or glutamine.
In some embodiments, the vesicle targeting domain is a fatty acylated protein. Fatty acylated proteins are proteins that have been modified post-translationally by covalent attachment of one or more fatty acids, generally with a saturated fatty acid that comprises 14-carbon (e.g. myristic acid) via myristoylation or 16-carbons (e.g. palmitic acid) via palmitoylation. For example, proteins destined to become myristoylated begin with the amino acids Met-Gly-X-X-X followed by a serine or threonine at position 6 and lysine or arginine at position 7 and/or 8 wherein X can be any amino acid. The methionine is removed and a myristate is linked to the glycine via an amide bond. Palmitoylation herein means a posttranslational covalent attachment of fatty acids (e.g. palmitic acid) to cysteine (S-palmitoylation), serine and/or threonine (O-palmitoylation), and to the amino group of lysine (N-palmitoylation) of proteins.
Palmitoylated proteins may be acylated by attachment of a thioester linkage to a sulfhydryl group of cysteine, or via a palmitate linked to the amino group of an N-terminal cysteine. Palmitoylation sites may be present near the N- or C-terminus of a protein.
In some embodiments, the vesicle targeting domain is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor. A glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor (“GPI anchor”) or “GPI sticky binder” are used interchangeably and refer to a means of stably anchoring a protein to an outer leaflet (e.g. exterior layer of a phospholipid bilayer) of a cell membrane. A GPI anchor comprises a glycan, a phosphoethanolamine linker, a phospholipid tail, and may be modified by various glycan sidechains. The glycan core comprises phosphoinositol, glucosamine, and mannose residues wherein said mannose residues may be modified for example with phosphoethanolamine or carbohydrates. The phosphoethanolamine is amide-bonded to the carboxyl terminus of a protein during the process of GPI attachment. In some embodiments, the vesicle targeting domain may have affinity to EV resident proteins, e.g., CD81, CD63, CD9, ALIX, TSG101, CD98, CD298, MARCKS, PTGFRN, Lactadherin (MFGe8)
Sticky binders can include a sequence for one or more myristoylation and/or palmitoylation (Myr/Palm) sites fused to a transmembrane domain from 4F2 (CD98). For example, the myristoylation sequence from the MARCKS protein may be modified to encode for one or more myristoylation and palmitoylation sites, wherein the modified MARCKS protein sequence is fused to a protein sequence of the transmembrane domain from 4F2 via a covalent peptide bond. A Myr/Palm followed by the 4F2 transmembrane domain can improve loading of the fusion proteins provided herein when compared with 4F2 transmembrane domain alone or Myr/Palm alone.
Non-limiting examples of vesicle targeting domains that enhance fusion polypeptide structure and function on the extracellular vesicles are provided in Table 3 (below).

In some embodiments of any of the aspects provided herein, the fusion polypeptide further comprises a peptide linker. The linker may be flexible, rigid, or cleavable. Further, the linker can be linked directly or via another linker (e.g., a peptide of one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten or more amino acids) to the fusion polypeptides described herein. Linkers can be configured according to a specific need, e.g., based on at least one of the following characteristics. In some embodiments of any of the aspects, linkers can be configured to have a sufficient length and flexibility such that it can allow for a cleavage at a target site. In some embodiments of any of the aspects, linkers can be configured to allow multimerization of the fusion polypeptides provided herein. In some embodiments of any of the aspects, linkers can be configured to facilitate expression and purification of the fusion proteins or engineered extracellular vesicles provided herein.
In some embodiments of any of the aspects, a linker can be configured to have any length in a form of a peptide, peptidomimetic, an aptamer, a protein, a nucleic acid (e.g., DNA or RNA), or any combinations thereof. For example, in one embodiment, the linker may be a polypeptide linker such as Gly-Ser-Ser-Gly or a variation thereof as known by one of ordinary skill in the art. In another embodiment the linker may be a protein sequence for a self-cleavable peptide. For example, 2A sequences such as P2A, E2A, F2A, and T2A code for self-cleavable peptides by inducing ribosomal slippage on the mRNA at the 2A site which prevents peptide bond formation. The slippage will result in two separate peptides after translation. This allows the expression of two separate proteins from one promoter region. Any combination of the proteins described herein may be expressed with a self-cleavable peptide as known by one of ordinary skill in the art.
In some embodiments of any of the aspects, the polypeptide linker is a non-cleavable linker. In some embodiments of any of the aspects, a linker can be a chemical linker of any length.
In some embodiments of any of the aspects, the linker is an Fc linker. An exemplary nucleic acid sequence encoding an Fc polypeptide is:
The amino acid sequence of the Fc linker is:
In some embodiments of any of the aspects, the linker is a P2A peptide linker. P2A is a self-cleaving peptide sequence allowing for expression of two proteins from one promoter. In some embodiments, the P2A linker is encoded by the nucleic acid sequence:
The amino acid sequence of P2A is
In some embodiments of any of the aspects, the linker is provides a multimerization (e.g., dimerization) domain wherein one fusion polypeptide may connect with another fusion polypeptide at each fusion polypeptide's respective multimerization domain. Multimerization of multiple fusion polypeptides will provide multiple fusion polypeptides within close proximity to one another to one or more a target receptor on the target cell, wherein the multiple fusion peptides will enhance receptor clustering on the target cell. Clustering receptors on a target cell will result in enhanced signal transduction. Without receptor clustering a signal may be weaker or not occur all together. For example, Fc domain sequences presented herein dimerize resulting in two fusion polypeptides connected by a covalent bond via the two Fc domains on their respective fusion polypeptide. One preferred embodiment of an Fc domain is from IgG4, herein labeled 4Fc. In other embodiments Fc may be from IgG1, herein labeled Fc. In certain embodiments Fc from other immunoglobulin, (e.g., IgG2, IgG3, etc.) may be used.

In some embodiments of any of the aspects, the fusion polypeptides provided herein comprise two or more POI domains. The specific combinations of POI domains can be used to regulate inflammatory immune responses. Non-limiting examples of additive and synergistic combinations of POIs that can modulate inflammatory signaling pathways are provided in Table 5 (below).
Methods of Preparing Extracellular Vesicle Compositions
In another aspect, provided herein is a method of preparing an engineered extracellular vesicle provided herein. Generally, the method comprises providing a population of cells expressing a vector construct encoding one or more sticky binder (vesicle targeting domain) and one or more signaling domains (POI domain).
The EVs provided herein can be isolated and purified form any biological source, e.g., cells. The cells that produce the engineered EVs provided herein can be from any viable non-human source or organism. Usually the organism is an animal, vertebrate, or mammal. In some embodiments, the cell described herein is from a human. The cells described herein can be from any tissue isolated from an organism by methods known in the art. The scientific literature provides guidance for one of ordinary skill in the art to isolate, prepare, and culture cells as necessary for use in the compositions and methods described herein. One of skill in the art can appreciate that the cell source of the EVs may alter the cellular protein expression and the native or endogenous cargo within the EV. It is contemplated herein that this can be leveraged for therapeutic effect depending on the disease or disorder being treated.
In some embodiments, the population of cells has been altered by exposure to environmental conditions (e.g., hypoxia), small molecule addition, presence/absence of exogenous factors (e.g., growth factors, cytokines) at the time, or substantially contemporaneous with, isolating the plurality of artificial synapses in a manner altering the regulatory state of the cell. In various embodiments, the cells are HEK 293 cells, MSCs, PER.C, fibrosarcoma HT-1080 or HuH7 cell lines.
The method comprises providing a population of cells and culturing the cells in serum-free or un-concentrated conditioned medium. This includes, for example, artificial synapses secreted into media as conditioned by a population of cells in culture, further including cell lines capable of serial passaging. In certain embodiments, the cells in culture are grown to 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, or 90% or more confluency when artificial synapses (engineered EVs) are isolated.
The methods provided herein further comprise contacting the cells provided herein with a nucleic acid vector encoding the at least one fusion polypeptide provided herein. The vector can be added to the cell culture medium of the cells by methods known in the art and discussed further below.
A vector is a nucleic acid construct designed for delivery to a host cell or for transfer of genetic material between different host cells. As used herein, a vector can be viral or non-viral. The term “vector” encompasses any genetic element that is capable of replication when associated with the proper control elements and that can transfer genetic material to cells. A vector can include, but is not limited to, a cloning vector, an expression vector, a plasmid, phage, transposon, cosmid, artificial chromosome, virus, virion, etc. In some embodiments of any of the aspects, the vector is selected from the group consisting of: a plasmid, a cosmid and a viral vector.
“Expression” refers to the cellular processes involved in producing RNA and proteins and as appropriate, secreting proteins, including where applicable, but not limited to, for example, transcription, transcript processing, translation and protein folding, modification and processing. “Expression products” include RNA transcribed from a gene, and polypeptides obtained by translation of mRNA transcribed from a gene.
In some embodiments, a vector is capable of driving expression of one or more sequences in a mammalian cell; i.e., the vector is a mammalian expression vector. Examples of mammalian expression vectors include pCDM8 (Seed, 1987. Nature 329: 840) and pMT2PC (Kaufman, et al., 1987. EMBO J. 6: 187-195). When used in mammalian cells, the expression vector's control functions are typically provided by one or more regulatory elements. For example, commonly used promoters are derived from polyoma, adenovirus 2, cytomegalovirus, simian virus 40, and others disclosed herein and known in the art. For other suitable expression systems for both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells see, e.g., Chapters 16 and 17 of Sambrook, et al., MOLECULAR CLONING: A LABORATORY MANUAL. 2nd ed., Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y., 1989.
In some embodiments, the recombinant expression vector is capable of directing expression of the exogenous fusion polypeptide nucleic acid sequence preferentially in a particular cell type (e.g., via tissue-specific regulatory elements).
Tissue-specific and inducible regulatory elements are known in the art. Non-limiting examples of suitable tissue-specific promoters include the albumin promoter (liver-specific; Pinkert, et al., 1987. Genes Dev. 1: 268-277), lymphoid-specific promoters (Calame and Eaton, 1988. Adv. Immunol. 43: 235-275), in particular promoters of T cell receptors (Winoto and Baltimore, 1989. EMBO J. 8: 729-733) and immunoglobulins (Baneiji, et al., 1983. Cell 33: 729-740; Queen and Baltimore, 1983. Cell 33: 741-748), neuron-specific promoters (e.g., the neurofilament promoter; Byrne and Ruddle, 1989. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 86: 5473-5477), pancreas-specific promoters (Edlund, et al., 1985. Science 230: 912-916), and mammary gland-specific promoters (e.g., milk whey promoter; U.S. Pat. No. 4,873,316 and European Application Publication No. 264,166). Developmentally-regulated promoters are also encompassed, e.g., the murine hox promoters (Kessel and Gruss, 1990. Science 249: 374-379) and the α-fetoprotein promoter (Campes and Tilghman, 1989. Genes Dev. 3: 537-546).
In some embodiments, the at least one nucleic acid sequence described herein is delivered to the cell described herein via an integrating vector. Integrating vectors have their delivered genetic material (or a copy of it) permanently incorporated into a host cell chromosome. Non-integrating vectors remain episomal which means the nucleic acid contained therein is never integrated into a host cell chromosome. Examples of integrating vectors include retroviral vectors, lentiviral vectors, hybrid adenoviral vectors, and herpes simplex viral vectors.
In some embodiments, the at least one nucleic acid sequence described herein is delivered to the cell described herein via a non-integrative vector. Non-integrative vectors include non-integrative viral vectors. Non-integrative viral vectors eliminate one of the primary risks posed by integrative retroviruses, as they do not incorporate their genome into the host DNA. One example is the Epstein Barr oriP/Nuclear Antigen-1 (“EBNA1”) vector, which is capable of limited self-replication and known to function in mammalian cells. Containing two elements from Epstein-Barr virus, oriP and EBNA1, binding of the EBNA1 protein to the virus replicon region oriP maintains a relatively long-term episomal presence of plasmids in mammalian cells. This particular feature of the oriP/EBNA1 vector makes it ideal for generation of integration-free host cells. Other non-integrative viral vectors include adenoviral vectors and the adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors.
Another non-integrative viral vector is RNA Sendai viral vector, which can produce protein without entering the nucleus of an infected cell. The F-deficient Sendai virus vector remains in the cytoplasm of infected cells for a few passages, but is diluted out quickly and completely lost after several passages (e.g., 10 passages). This permits a self-limiting transient expression of a chosen heterologous gene or genes in a target cell. This aspect can be helpful, e.g., for the transient introduction of reprogramming factors, among other uses. As noted above, in some embodiments, the nucleic acid sequence described herein is expressed in the cells from a viral vector.
A “viral vector” includes a nucleic acid vector construct that includes at least one element of viral origin and has the capacity to be packaged into a viral vector particle. The viral vector can contain a nucleic acid encoding a polypeptide described herein in place of non-essential viral genes. The vector and/or particle can be utilized for the purpose of transferring nucleic acids into cells either in vitro or in vivo.
The nucleic acids described herein can be delivered using any transfection reagent or other physical means that facilitates entry of nucleic acids into a cell. Methods of non-viral delivery of nucleic acids include lipofection, nucleofection, microinjection, electroporation, biolistics, virosomes, liposomes, immunoliposomes, polycation or lipid:nucleic acid conjugates, naked DNA, artificial virions, and agent-enhanced uptake of DNA. Lipofection is described in e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,049,386, 4,946,787; and 4,897,355) and lipofection reagents are sold commercially (e.g., Transfectam™ and Lipofectin™). Cationic and neutral lipids that are suitable for efficient receptor-recognition lipofection of polynucleotides include those of Felgner, WO 91/17424; WO 91/16024. Delivery can be to cells (e.g. in vitro or ex vivo administration) or target tissues (e.g. in vivo administration).
The preparation of lipid:nucleic acid complexes, including targeted liposomes such as immunolipid complexes, is well known to one of skill in the art (see, e.g., Crystal, Science 270:404-410 (1995); Blaese et al., Cancer Gene Ther. 2:291-297 (1995); Behr et al., Bioconjugate Chem. 5:382-389 (1994); Remy et al., Bioconjugate Chem. 5:647-654 (1994); Gao et al., Gene Therapy 2:710-722 (1995); Ahmad et al., Cancer Res. 52:4817-4820 (1992); U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,186,183, 4,217,344, 4,235,871, 4,261,975, 4,485,054, 4,501,728, 4,774,085, 4,837,028, and 4,946,787).
An “agent that increases cellular uptake” is a molecule that facilitates transport of a molecule, e.g., nucleic acid, or peptide or polypeptide, or other molecule that does not otherwise efficiently transit the cell membrane across a lipid membrane. For example, a nucleic acid can be conjugated to a lipophilic compound (e.g., cholesterol, tocopherol, etc.), a cell penetrating peptide (CPP) (e.g., penetratin, TAT, Syn1B, etc.), or a polyamine (e.g., spermine). Further examples of agents that increase cellular uptake are disclosed, for example, in Winkler (2013). Oligonucleotide conjugates for therapeutic applications. Ther. Deliv. 4(7); 791-809. The one or more nucleic acid sequences encoding the fusion polypeptides provided herein can be delivered to the cell by any method discussed above or known in the art.
In some embodiments of any of the aspects, the vectors provided herein comprise a nucleic acid modification by methods known in the art. In some embodiments, the cell can be genetically manipulated to express one or more vectors, each encoding one or more vesicle targeting domains and/or one or more signaling domains. In certain embodiments, the population of cells has been genetically manipulated. This includes, for example, knockout (KO) or transgenic (TG) cell lines, wherein an endogenous gene has been removed and/or an exogenous introduced in a stable, persistent manner. In certain embodiments, this further includes transient knockdown of one or more genes and associated coding and non-coding transcripts within the population of cells, via any number of methods known in the art, such as introduction of dsRNA, siRNA, microRNA, etc. This further includes transient expression of one or more genes and associated coding and non-coding transcripts within the population of cells, via any number of methods known in the art, such as introduction of a vector, plasmid, artificial plasmid, replicative and/or non-replicative virus, etc.
In certain embodiments the cell population has been manipulated to knockout the expression of one or more endogenous gene sequences that encode for metalloendopeptidases. In certain embodiments the cell population has been manipulated to knockout the expression of one or more endogenous gene sequences that code for metalloproteinases. In certain embodiments the cell population has been manipulated to knockout the expression of one or more endogenous gene sequences that encode for a disintegrin and metalloproteinase (ADAM). For example, the cell population can be manipulated to knock of the expression of one or more gene sequences that encode for ADAM1, ADAM2, ADAM7, ADAMS, ADAMS, ADAM10, ADAM11, ADAM12, ADAM15, ADAM17, ADAM18, ADAM19, ADAM20, ADAM21, ADAM22, ADAM23, ADAM28, ADAM29, ADAM30, ADAM33, etc.
In certain embodiments the cell population has been manipulated to knockout the expression of one or more endogenous genes that encode for enzymes that hydrolyze the inositol phosphate linkage in proteins anchored by phosphatidylinositol glycans, thereby preventing the release of proteins attached to the plasma membrane via GPI anchors. For example, the cell population can be manipulated to knock of the expression of phosphatidylinositol-glycan-specific phospholipase D (GPLD1).
In certain embodiments, the population of cells has been genetically manipulated. This includes, for example, knock-in of an exogenous genetic sequence, wherein the exogenous genetic sequence is expressed in a stable, persistent manner. In certain embodiments, the cell population has been manipulated to knock-in recombinase recognition sequences (e.g., FRT), transgenic reporters such as antibiotic resistance genes, fluorescent or enzymatic reporter genes, etc. or the like.
In some embodiments, the method comprises a step of isolating the engineered extracellular vesicles provided herein. Particulates within the medium are removed by a series of specific centrifugation steps and the media is filtered. The general method of isolating extracellular vesicles as provided herein is depicted in
In some embodiments, isolating the plurality of engineered EVs (artificial synapses) includes precipitation, centrifugation, filtration, immuno-separation, tangential flow, liquid chromatography, and/or flow fractionation. For example, differential ultracentrifugation has become a technique wherein secreted exosomes are isolated from the supernatants of cultured cells. This approach allows for separation of exosomes from non-membranous particles, by exploiting their relatively low buoyant density. Size exclusion allows for their separation from biochemically similar, but biophysically different microvesicles, which possess larger diameters of up to 1,000 nm. Differences in floatation velocity further allows for separation of differentially sized exosomes. In general, exosome sizes will possess a diameter ranging from 30-300 nm, including sizes of 30-150 nm. Further purification may rely on specific properties of the particular exosomes of interest. This includes, for example, use of immunoadsorption with a protein of interest to select specific vesicles with exoplasmic or outward orientations.
Among current methods (differential centrifugation, discontinuous density gradients, immunoaffinity, ultrafiltration and liquid chromatography (e.g., fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC)), differential ultracentrifugation is the most commonly used for exosome isolation. This technique utilizes increasing centrifugal force from 2000×g to 10,000×g to separate the medium- and larger-sized particles and cell debris from the exosome pellet at 100,000×g. Centrifugation alone allows for significant separation/collection of exosomes from a conditioned medium, although it is insufficient to remove various protein aggregates, genetic materials, particulates from media and cell debris that are common contaminants. Enhanced specificity of exosome purification may deploy sequential centrifugation in combination with ultrafiltration, or equilibrium density gradient centrifugation in a sucrose density gradient, to provide for the greater purity of the exosome preparation (flotation density 1.1-1.2 g/ml) or application of a discrete sugar cushion in preparation.
Ultrafiltration can be used to purify exosomes without compromising their biological activity. Membranes with different pore sizes—such as 100 kDa molecular weight cut-off (MWCO) or 300 kDa MWCO and gel filtration to eliminate smaller particles—have been used to avoid the use of a nonneutral pH or non-physiological salt concentration. Currently available tangential flow filtration (TFF) systems are scalable (to >10,000 L), allowing one to not only purify, but concentrate the exosome fractions, and such approaches are less time consuming than differential centrifugation. Liquid Chromatography can also be used to purify exosomes to homogeneously sized particles and preserve their biological activity as the preparation is maintained at a physiological pH and salt concentration.
Other chemical methods have exploit differential solubility of exosomes for precipitation techniques, addition to volume-excluding polymers (e.g., polyethylene glycols (PEGs)), possibly combined additional rounds of centrifugation or filtration. For example, a precipitation reagent, ExoQuick®, can be added to conditioned cell media to quickly and rapidly precipitate a population of exosomes, although re-suspension of pellets prepared via this technique may be difficult. Flow field-flow fractionation (FlFFF) is an elution-based technique that is used to separate and characterize macromolecules (e.g., proteins) and nano- to micro-sized particles (e.g., organelles and cells) and which has been successfully applied to fractionate exosomes from culture media.
Beyond these techniques relying on general biochemical and biophysical features, focused techniques may be applied to isolated specific exosomes of interest. This includes relying on antibody immunoaffinity to recognizing certain exosome-associated antigens. Conjugation to magnetic beads, chromatography matrices, plates or microfluidic devices allows isolating of specific exosome populations of interest as may be related to their production from a parent cell of interest or associated cellular regulatory state. Other affinity-capture methods use lectins which bind to specific saccharide residues on the exosome surface.
In several embodiments, isolating a plurality of artificial synapses from the population of cells includes centrifugation of the cells and/or media conditioned by the cells. In several embodiments, ultracentrifugation is used. In several embodiments, isolating a plurality of artificial synapses from the population of cells is via size-exclusion filtration. In other embodiments, isolating a plurality of artificial synapses from the population of cells includes use of discontinuous density gradients, immunoaffinity, ultrafiltration, tangential flow and/or liquid chromatography.
In certain embodiments, differential ultracentrifugation includes using centrifugal force from 1000-2000×g, 2000-3000×g, 3000-4000×g, 4000-5000×g, 5000×g-6000×g, 6000-7000×g, 7000-8000×g, 8000-9000×g, 9000-10,000×g, to 10,000×g or more to separate larger-sized particles from a plurality of artificial synapses derived from the cells.
In other embodiments, isolating a plurality of artificial synapses from the population of cells includes use of filtration or ultrafiltration. In certain embodiments, a size exclusion membrane with different pore sizes is used. For example, a size exclusion membrane can include use of a filter with a pore size of 0.1-0.5 micron (μm), 0.5-1.0 μm, 1-2.5 μm, 2.5-5 μm, 5 or more μm. In certain embodiments, the pore size is about 0.2 μm. In certain embodiments, filtration or ultrafiltration includes size exclusion ranging from 100-500 daltons (Da), 500-1 kDa, 1-2 kDa, 2-5 kDa, 5-10 kDa, 10-25 kDa, 25-50 kDa, 50-100 kDa, 100-250 kDa, 250-500 kDa, 500 or more kDa. In certain embodiments, the size exclusion is for about 2-5 kDa. In certain embodiments, the size exclusion is for about 3 kDa.

In certain embodiments, the size exclusion is for about 2-5 kDa. In certain embodiments, the size exclusion is for about 3 kDa. In various embodiments, such systems are used in combination with variable fluid flow systems. In certain embodiments, a size exclusion membrane with different pore sizes is used to purify extracellular vesicles from a solution comprising undesirable proteins or nucleic acids.

In another embodiment, isolating a plurality of artificial synapses from the population of cells includes use of flow field-flow fractionation (FlFFF), an elution-based technique.
In certain embodiments, isolating a plurality of artificial synapses from the population of cells includes use of one or more capture agents to isolate one or more artificial synapses possessing specific biomarkers or containing particular biological molecules. In one embodiment, one or more capture agents include at least one antibody. For example, antibody immunoaffinity recognizing exosome-associated antigens is used to capture specific artificial synapses. In other embodiments, the at least one antibody are conjugated to a fixed surface, such as magnetic beads, chromatography matrices, plates or microfluidic devices, thereby allowing isolation of the specific exosome populations of interest. In other embodiments, isolating a plurality of artificial synapses from the population of cells includes use of one or more capture agents that is not an antibody. This includes, for example, use of a “bait” molecule presenting an antigenic feature complementary to a corresponding molecule of interest on the exosome surface, such as a receptor or other coupling molecule. In one embodiment, the non-antibody capture agent is a lectin capable of binding to polysaccharide residues on the exosome surface.

In one embodiment of any of the aspects, the compositions described herein further comprise a lipid vehicle. Exemplary lipid vehicles include, but are not limited to, liposomes, phospholipids, micelles, lipid emulsions, and lipid-drug complexes.
Formulations can be adapted for delivery to the airway, e.g., to address respiratory inflammation. Such formulations can be adapted for delivery as an aerosol, e.g., for inhalation. In some embodiments, the compositions described herein are formulated for aerosol administration, nebulizer administration, tracheal lavage administration, or for a pulmonary delivery device.
As used herein, the term “pulmonary delivery device” refers to a device used to deliver a therapeutic dose of a composition of the present invention to the respiratory system including, but not limited to, a nebulizer, metered-dose inhaler, or dry powder inhaler.
Examples of nebulizers include, but are not limited to, soft mist inhalers (for example Respimat® Boehringer Ingelheim) jet nebulizers (use compressed gas or air), ultrasonic nebulizers (produce aerosols using a piezoelectric crystal vibrating at high frequencies), and vibrating mesh nebulizers.
As used herein, the term “jet nebulizer” refers to a device that flows compressed air or gas through a composition of the present invention for aerosolization. The aerosolized composition of the present invention may be inhaled by a patient. Jet nebulizer may include, but is not limited to, jet nebulizers with a corrugated tube, jet nebulizers with a collection bag, breath enhanced jet nebulizers, breath actuated jet nebulizers, and metered-dose inhalers. Examples of jet nebulizers include, but are not limited to, Circulaire (Westmed INC, Tucson, Ariz.), Pari Inhalierboy (PARI, Midlothian, Va.), Pari LC Plus (PARI, Midlothian, Va.), NebuTech (Salter Labs, Arvin, Calif.), AeroEclipse (Monoghan/Trudell Medical International, London, Ontario, Canada), and Maxin MA-2 (MA-2; Clinova Medical AB, Malmö, Sweden). Examples of ultrasonic nebulizers include, but are not limited to, DeVilbiss-Pulmosonic (Somerset, Pa.), Omron-Microair (Omron, Kyoto, Japan), Omron NE-U17 (Omron, Kyoto, Japan), Rhone Poulenc-Rorer-Fisoneb (Sanofi, Paris, France), and Beurer Nebulizer IH30 (Beurer GmbH, Neu-Ulm, Germany).
As used herein, the term “mesh nebulizer” refers to forcing a liquid, gel, fluid, solution, tincture, or the like through apertures in a mesh or aperture plate to generate aerosol. Mesh nebulizer may include, but is not limited to, active mesh nebulizers and passive mesh nebulizers. Examples of active mesh nebulizers include, but is not limited to, Aeroneb® (Aerogen, Galway, Ireland) and eFlow® (PARI, Midlothian, Va.). Examples of passive mesh nebulizers are, but not limited to, I-neb (Philips Respironics, Newark, USA), AKITA (Activaero, Gemunden/Wohra, Germany), and Microair NE-U22® (Omron, Kyoto, Japan).
For use as aerosols, the compositions described herein can be prepared in a solution or suspension and may be packaged in a pressurized aerosol container together with suitable propellants, for example, hydrocarbon propellants like propane, butane, or isobutane with conventional excipients.
The engineered EVs provided herein can also be administered in a non-pressurized form such as in a nebulizer or atomizer that reduces a liquid to a fine spray. Preferably, by such nebulization small liquid droplets of uniform size are produced from a larger body of liquid in a controlled manner. Nebulization can be achieved by any suitable means therefor, including by using many nebulizers known and marketed today. For example, an AEROMIST™ pneumatic nebulizer available from Inhalation Plastic, Inc. of Niles, Ill.
When the active ingredients are adapted to be administered, either together or individually, via nebulizer(s) they can be in the form of a nebulized aqueous suspension or solution, with or without a suitable pH or tonicity adjustment, either as a unit dose or multi-dose device.
Furthermore, any suitable gas can be used to apply pressure during the nebulization, with preferred gases to date being those which are chemically inert. Exemplary gases including, but are not limited to, nitrogen, argon, or helium can be used to advantage.
In some embodiments, the compositions described herein can also be administered directly to the airways in the form of a dry powder. Thus, the engineered EVs can be administered via an inhaler. Exemplary inhalers include metered dose inhalers and dry powdered inhalers.
A metered dose inhaler or “MDT” is a pressure resistant canister or container filled with a product such as a pharmaceutical composition dissolved in a liquefied propellant or micronized particles suspended in a liquefied propellant. The propellants which can be used include chlorofluorocarbons, hydrocarbons or hydrofluoroalkanes. Commonly used propellants are P134a (tetrafluoroethane) and P227 (heptafluoropropane) each of which may be used alone or in combination. They are optionally used in combination with one or more other propellants and/or one or more surfactants and/or one or more other excipients, for example ethanol, a lubricant, an anti-oxidant and/or a stabilizing agent.
As used herein, the term “dry powder inhaler” refers to a device that delivers a therapeutic dose of a composition of the present invention in a powdered form without propellants to the respiratory system. A dry powder inhaler (i.e., Turbuhaler™ (Astra AB)) is a system operable with a source of pressurized air to produce dry powder particles of a pharmaceutical composition that is compacted into a very small volume. Examples of dry powder inhalers include, but are not limited to, Spinhaler® (Fisons Pharmaceuticals, Rochester, N.Y.), Rotahaler® (GlaxoSmithKline, NC), Turbuhaler® (AstraZeneca, UK), and Diskhaler® (GlaxoSmithKline, NC).
Dry powder aerosols for inhalation therapy are generally produced with mean diameters primarily in the range of <5 mm. As the diameter of particles exceeds 3 mm, there is increasingly less phagocytosis by macrophages. However, increasing the particle size also has been found to minimize the probability of particles (possessing standard mass density) entering the airways and acini due to excessive deposition in the oropharyngeal or nasal regions.
Suitable powder compositions include, by way of illustration, powdered preparations including the engineered EVs described herein. These can be intermixed with lactose, or other inert powders acceptable for intrabronchial administration. The powder compositions can be administered via an aerosol dispenser or encased in a breakable capsule which may be inserted by the patient or clinician into a device that punctures the capsule and blows the powder out in a steady stream suitable for inhalation. The compositions can include propellants, surfactants, and co-solvents and may be filled into conventional aerosol containers that are closed by a suitable metering valve.
Aerosols for the delivery to the respiratory tract are described, for example, by Adjei, A. and Garren, J. Pharm. Res., 1: 565-569 (1990); Zanen, P. and Lamm, J.-W. J. Int. J. Pharm., 114: 111-115 (1995); Gonda, I. “Aerosols for delivery of therapeutic and diagnostic agents to the respiratory tract,” in Critical Reviews in Therapeutic Drug Carrier Systems, 6:273-313 (1990); Anderson et al., Am. Rev. Respir.

Microemulsification technology can improve bioavailability of some lipophilic (water insoluble) pharmaceutical agents. Examples include Trimetrine (Dordunoo, S. K., et al., Drug Development and Industrial Pharmacy, 17(12), 1685-1713, 1991 and REV 5901 (Sheen, P. C., et al., J Pharm Sci 80(7), 712-714, 1991). Among other things, microemulsification provides enhanced bioavailability by preferentially directing absorption to the lymphatic system instead of the circulatory system, which thereby bypasses the liver, and prevents destruction of the cell-based compositions in the hepatobiliary circulation.
The engineered EVs described herein can be formulated with an amphiphilic carrier. Amphiphilic carriers are saturated and monounsaturated polyethyleneglycolyzed fatty acid glycerides, such as those obtained from fully or partially hydrogenated various vegetable oils. Such oils may advantageously consist of tri-, di-, and mono-fatty acid glycerides and di- and mono-polyethyleneglycol esters of the corresponding fatty acids, with a particularly preferred fatty acid composition including capric acid 4-10, capric acid 3-9, lauric acid 40-50, myristic acid 14-24, palmitic acid 4-14 and stearic acid 5-15%. Another useful class of amphiphilic carriers includes partially esterified sorbitan and/or sorbitol, with saturated or mono-unsaturated fatty acids (SPAN-series) or corresponding ethoxylated analogs (TWEEN-series).
Commercially available amphiphilic carriers are particularly contemplated, including Gelucire-series, Labrafil, Labrasol, or Lauroglycol (all manufactured and distributed by Gattefosse Corporation, Saint Priest, France), PEG-mono-oleate, PEG-di-oleate, PEG-mono-laurate and di-laurate, Lecithin, Polysorbate 80, etc. (produced and distributed by a number of companies in USA and worldwide).
The engineered EV compositions provided herein can be formulated with hydrophilic polymers. Hydrophilic polymers are water-soluble, can be covalently attached to a vesicle-forming lipid, and which are tolerated in vivo without toxic effects (i.e., are biocompatible). Suitable polymers include polyethylene glycol (PEG), polylactic (also termed polylactide), polyglycolic acid (also termed polyglycolide), a polylactic-polyglycolic acid copolymer, and polyvinyl alcohol. Other hydrophilic polymers which may be suitable include polyvinylpyrrolidone, polymethoxazoline, polyethyloxazoline, polyhydroxypropyl methacrylamide, polymethacrylamide, polydimethylacrylamide, and derivatized celluloses such as hydroxymethylcellulose or hydroxyethylcellulose.
In certain embodiments, a pharmaceutical composition as described herein comprises a biocompatible polymer selected from the group consisting of polyamides, polycarbonates, polyalkylenes, polymers of acrylic and methacrylic esters, polyvinyl polymers, polyglycolides, polysiloxanes, polyurethanes and co-polymers thereof, celluloses, polypropylene, polyethylenes, polystyrene, polymers of lactic acid and glycolic acid, polyanhydrides, poly(ortho)esters, poly(butic acid), poly(valeric acid), poly(lactide-co-caprolactone), polysaccharides, proteins, polyhyaluronic acids, polycyanoacrylates, and blends, mixtures, or copolymers thereof.
In certain embodiments, a pharmaceutical composition described herein is formulated as a liposome. Liposomes can be prepared by any of a variety of techniques that are known in the art. See, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 4,235,871; Published PCT applications WO 96/14057; New RRC, Liposomes: A practical approach, IRL Press, Oxford (1990), pages 33-104; Lasic D D, Liposomes from physics to applications, Elsevier Science Publishers BV, Amsterdam, 1993.
Therapeutic formulations of the engineered EV compositions as described herein can be prepared for storage by with optional pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, excipients or stabilizers (Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences 16th edition, Osol, A. Ed. (1980)), in the form of lyophilized formulations or aqueous solutions. Acceptable carriers, excipients, or stabilizers are nontoxic to recipients at the dosages and concentrations employed, and include buffers such as phosphate, citrate, and other organic acids; antioxidants including ascorbic acid and methionine; preservatives (such as octadecyldimethylbenzyl ammonium chloride; hexamethonium chloride; benzalkonium chloride, benzethonium chloride; phenol, butyl or benzyl alcohol; alkyl parabens such as methyl or propyl paraben; catechol; resorcinol; cyclohexanol; 3-pentanol; and m-cresol); low molecular weight (less than about 10 residues) polypeptides; proteins, such as serum albumin, gelatin, or immunoglobulins; hydrophilic polymers such as polyvinylpyrrolidone; amino acids such as glycine, glutamine, asparagine, histidine, arginine, or lysine; monosaccharides, disaccharides, and other carbohydrates including glucose, mannose, or dextrins; chelating agents such as EDTA; sugars such as sucrose, mannitol, trehalose or sorbitol; salt-forming counter-ions such as sodium; metal complexes (e.g. Zn-protein complexes); and/or non-ionic surfactants such as TWEEN™, PLURONICS™ or polyethylene glycol (PEG).
Vaccine or other pharmaceutical compositions comprising an engineered EV composition as described herein can contain a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, typically, e.g., sodium chloride, and preferably at about physiological concentrations. The formulations of the vaccine or other pharmaceutical compositions described herein can contain a pharmaceutically acceptable preservative. In some embodiments, the preservative concentration ranges from 0.1 to 2.0%, typically v/v. Suitable preservatives include those known in the pharmaceutical arts. Benzyl alcohol, phenol, m-cresol, methylparaben, and propylparaben are examples of preservatives. The formulations of the vaccine or other pharmaceutical compositions described herein can include a pharmaceutically acceptable surfactant at a concentration of 0.005 to 0.02%.
Therapeutic pharmaceutical compositions described herein can also contain more than one active compound as necessary for the particular indication being treated, preferably those with complementary activities that do not adversely affect each other.
In some embodiments in which the engineered EVs are formulated for use in or with a vaccine, the vaccine composition can be formulated with the engineered EVs as an adjuvant. In other embodiments the vaccine composition can be formulated with the engineered EVs and an additional adjuvant, e.g., as known in the art.
As used herein in the context of immunization, immune response and vaccination, the term “adjuvant” refers to any substance than when used in combination with a specific antigen produces a more robust immune response than the antigen alone. When incorporated into a vaccine formulation, an adjuvant acts generally to accelerate, prolong, or enhance the quality of specific immune responses to the vaccine antigen(s). Adjuvants typically promote the accumulation and/or activation of accessory cells or factors to enhance antigen-specific immune responses and thereby enhance the efficacy of vaccines, i.e., antigen-containing or encoding compositions used to induce protective immunity against the antigen.
Adjuvants, in general, include adjuvants that create a depot effect, immune-stimulating adjuvants, and adjuvants that create a depot effect and stimulate the immune system. An adjuvant that creates a depot effect is an adjuvant that causes the antigen to be slowly released in the body, thus prolonging the exposure of immune cells to the antigen. This class of adjuvants includes but is not limited to alum (e.g., aluminum hydroxide, aluminum phosphate); emulsion-based formulations including mineral oil, non-mineral oil, water-in-oil or oil-in-water-in oil emulsion, oil-in-water emulsions such as Seppic ISA series of Montanide adjuvants (e.g., Montanide ISA 720; AirLiquide, Paris, France); MF-59 (a squalene-in-water emulsion stabilized with Span 85 and Tween 80; Chiron Corporation, Emeryville, Calif.); and PROVAX™ (an oil-in-water emulsion containing a stabilizing detergent and a micelle-forming agent; IDEC Pharmaceuticals Corporation, San Diego, Calif.).
An immune-stimulating adjuvant is an adjuvant that causes activation of a cell of the immune system. It may, for instance, cause an immune cell to produce and secrete cytokines and interferons. This class of adjuvants includes but is not limited to saponins purified from the bark of the Q. saponaria tree, such as QS21 (a glycolipid that elutes in the 21st peak with HPLC fractionation; Aquila Biopharmaceuticals, Inc., Worcester, Mass.); poly [di(carboxylatophenoxy)phosphazene (PCPP polymer; Virus Research Institute, USA); derivatives of lipopolysaccharides such as monophosphoryl lipid A (MPL; Ribi ImmunoChem Research, Inc., Hamilton, Mont.), muramyl dipeptide (MDP; Ribi) and threonyl-muramyl dipeptide (t-MDP; Ribi); OM-174 (a glucosamine disaccharide related to lipid A; OM Pharma SA, Meyrin, Switzerland); and Leishmania elongation factor (a purified Leishmania protein; Corixa Corporation, Seattle, Wash.). This class of adjuvants also includes CpG DNA.
Adjuvants that create a depot effect and stimulate the immune system are those compounds which have both of the above-identified functions. This class of adjuvants includes but is not limited to ISCOMS (immunostimulating complexes which contain mixed saponins, lipids and form virus-sized particles with pores that can hold antigen; CSL, Melbourne, Australia); SB-AS2 (SmithKline Beecham adjuvant system #2 which is an oil-in-water emulsion containing MPL and QS21: SmithKline Beecham Biologicals [SBB], Rixensart, Belgium); SB-AS4 (SmithKline Beecham adjuvant system #4 which contains alum and MPL; SBB, Belgium); non-ionic block copolymers that form micelles such as CRL 1005 (these contain a linear chain of hydrophobic polyoxypropylene flanked by chains of polyoxyethylene; Vaxcel, Inc., Norcross, Ga.); and Syntex Adjuvant Formulation (SAF, an oil-in-water emulsion containing Tween 80 and a nonionic block copolymer; Syntex Chemicals, Inc., Boulder, Colo.).
The active ingredients of the pharmaceutical compositions described herein can also be entrapped in microcapsules prepared, for example, by coacervation techniques or by interfacial polymerization, for example, hydroxymethylcellulose or gelatin-microcapsules and poly-(methylmethacylate) microcapsules, respectively, in colloidal drug delivery systems (for example, liposomes, albumin microspheres, microemulsions, nano-particles and nanocapsules) or in macroemulsions. Such techniques are disclosed in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences 16th edition, Osol, A. Ed. (1980).
In some embodiments, sustained-release preparations can be used. Suitable examples of sustained-release preparations include semipermeable matrices of solid hydrophobic polymers containing a composition described herein in which the matrices are in the form of shaped articles, e.g., films, or microcapsule. Examples of sustained-release matrices include polyesters, hydrogels (for example, poly(2-hydroxyethyl-methacrylate), or poly(vinylalcohol)), polylactides (U.S. Pat. No. 3,773,919), copolymers of L-glutamic acid and y ethyl-L-glutamate, non-degradable ethylene-vinyl acetate, degradable lactic acid-glycolic acid copolymers such as the LUPRON DEPOT™ (injectable microspheres composed of lactic acid-glycolic acid copolymer and leuprolide acetate), and poly-D-(−)-3-hydroxybutyric acid. While polymers such as ethylene-vinyl acetate and lactic acid-glycolic acid enable release of molecules for over 100 days, certain hydrogels release proteins for shorter time periods. When encapsulated, the composition can remain in the body for a long time (e.g., up to about 1 hour, between 1-12 hours, 12-24 hours, 24 hours to 2 days, 2-3 days, 3-4 days, 4-5 days, 5-6 days, 6-7 days, 1-2 weeks, 3-4 weeks, 4 weeks to 2 months, 2-3 months, 3-4 months, 4-5 months, 5-6 months, or more than 6 months, or a variation thereof), denature, or aggregate as a result of exposure to moisture at 37° C., resulting in a loss of biological activity and possible changes in immunogenicity. Rational strategies can be devised for stabilization depending on the mechanism involved. For example, if the aggregation mechanism is discovered to be intermolecular S—S— bond formation through thio-disulfide interchange, stabilization can be achieved by modifying sulfhydryl residues, lyophilizing from acidic solutions, controlling moisture content, using appropriate additives, and developing specific polymer matrix compositions.
Administration, Dosing, Efficacy
The engineered EV compositions, pharmaceutical compositions, or vaccine compositions described herein can be formulated, dosed, and administered in a fashion consistent with good medical practice. Factors for consideration in this context include the particular disorder being treated, the particular subject being treated, the clinical condition of the individual subject, the cause of the disorder, the site of delivery of the vaccine composition, the method of administration, the scheduling of administration, and other factors known to medical practitioners.
Generally, application of artificial synapses as therapy will take into account similar parameters as other therapeutic strategies, including concentration, timing of delivery, and sustained bioavailability at injury/disease site. Extracellular vesicle can be delivered via a number of routes: intravenous, intracoronary, and intramyocardial. Extracellular vesicles (e.g., exosomes), also allow for new delivery routes that were previously infeasible for cell therapy, such as inhalation or injection. These various approaches are described below, including injection, topical application, enteral administration, and pulmonary delivery.
The engineered EV compositions provided herein can be administered to a subject in need thereof by any appropriate route which results in an effective treatment in the subject. As used herein, the terms “administering,” and “introducing” are used interchangeably and refer to the placement of a composition provided herein into a subject by a method or route which results in at least partial localization of such compositions at a desired site, such as a site of inflammation or a tumor, such that a desired effect(s) is produced. The compositions can be administered to a subject by any mode of administration that delivers the composition systemically or to a desired surface or target, and can include, but is not limited to, injection, infusion, instillation, and inhalation administration. To the extent that the composition can be protected from inactivation in the gut, oral administration forms are also contemplated. “Injection” includes, without limitation, intravenous, intramuscular, intra-arterial, intrathecal, intraventricular, intracapsular, intraorbital, retro-orbital, intravitreal, intraocular, intracardiac, intradermal, intraperitoneal, transtracheal, subcutaneous, subcuticular, intraarticular, sub capsular, subarachnoid, intraspinal, intracerebral, intratarsal, and intrasternal, intratumoral injection, and infusion or the like as known in the art.
A therapeutic does of the present invention may be delivered to a patient by means of controlled release, for example but not limited to, implantable pump and implantable cannulas to provide continuous access to the venous or arterial system.
Topical application refers to applying or spreading a composition of the present invention onto surfaces on or in the body, both internally and/or externally, in a therapeutically effective amount for local and/or systemic treatment. Topical application may be epicutaneous wherein a composition of the present invention may be directly applied onto a localized surface of the skin or mucous membranes. Topical application may include transdermal application wherein a composition of the present invention may be absorbed into the body to obtain systemic delivery and systemic distribution. Topical application formulations may include, but are not limited to, creams, foams, gels, lotions, solutions, ointments, dermal patch, transdermal patches, powder, solid, sponge, tape, vapor, paste, film, liposomes, balm, shampoo, spray, or tincture or the like or a combination thereof. A therapeutic dose of a composition of the present invention may be delivered vaginally (for example a vaginal suppository, vaginal ring, douche, intrauterine device, intravesical infusion, and the like) or urethra or the like or a combination thereof.
Enteral administration refers to a composition of the present invention administered via the gastrointestinal tract in a therapeutically effective amount for local or systemic treatment. Enteral administration may include, but is not limited to, delivery of a composition of the present invention via the mouth, sublingual, esophagus, gastric (for example the stomach), small intestines, large intestines or rectum. Oral delivery of the present invention may include, but is not limited to, the use of a capsule, pastille, pill, tablet, solution, gel, suspension, emulsion, syrup, elixir, tincture, mouthwash, lozenges, chewing gum, lollipop, cream, foam, solution, powder, solid, vapor, liposomes, spray, or tincture osmotic-controlled release oral delivery system, or the like. Gastric delivery may involve the use of a tube or nasal passage that leads directly to the stomach, for example, a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube. Gastric delivery may involve direct injection made through the abdominal wall. Rectal delivery may involve, but is not limited to, the use of a suppository, ointment, enema, murphy drip, or the like. A therapeutic does of the present invention may be delivered to a patient by means of controlled release, for example but not limited to, controlled release drug delivery pellet or pill.
Inhalation (i.e., pulmonary delivery, pulmonary administration refers to delivery to the respiratory system through the respiratory route, including but not limited to, intranasal administration, oral administration, and oral inhalative administration (e.g. intratracheal instillation and intratracheal inhalation) of a therapeutically effective amount for local or systemic treatment. Pulmonary delivery of a therapeutically effective amount of a composition of the present invention may be achieved by dispersion, for example by using a syringe. Pulmonary delivery of a composition of the present invention may be achieved by aerosol administration, wherein aerosol administration may deposit a therapeutically effective amount of the present invention by gravitational sedimentation, inertial impaction, or diffusion.
Intravenous delivery technique can occur through a peripheral or central venous catheter. As the simplest delivery mode, this technique avoids the risk of an invasive procedure. However, intravenous may be regarded as a comparatively inefficient and less localized delivery method, as a high percentage of infused cell exosomes may become sequestered in organs such as the lung, liver, or spleen. Such sequestration may result in few or no cellular exosomes reaching broader circulation or have unintended systemic effects following their distribution.
In certain embodiments, administration can include delivery to a tissue or organ site that is the same as the site of diseased and/or dysfunctional tissue. In certain embodiments, administration can include delivery to a tissue or organ site that is different from the site or diseased and/or dysfunctional tissue. In certain embodiments, the delivery is via inhalation or oral administration. In various embodiments, administration of artificial synapses can include combinations of multiple delivery techniques.
In some embodiments, the compositions described herein are administered by aerosol administration, nebulizer administration, or tracheal lavage administration.
The term “effective amount” as used herein refers to the amount of an engineered EV composition needed to alleviate or prevent at least one or more symptom of a disease or disorder (e.g., autoimmune disease or cancer), and relates to a sufficient amount of pharmacological composition to provide the desired effect, e.g., reduce the pathology, or any symptom associated with or caused by the a disease. The term “therapeutically effective amount” therefore refers to an amount of an engineered EV composition or vaccine composition described herein using the methods as disclosed herein, that is sufficient to affect a particular disease state when administered to a typical subject. An effective amount as used herein would also include an amount sufficient to delay the development of a symptom of the disease, alter the course of a symptom disease (for example, but not limited to, slow the progression of a symptom of the disease), or reverse a symptom of the disease. Thus, it is not possible to specify the exact “effective amount.” However, for any given case, an appropriate “effective amount” can be determined by one of ordinary skill in the art using only routine experimentation.
Effective amounts, toxicity, and therapeutic efficacy can be determined by standard pharmaceutical procedures in cell cultures or experimental animals, e.g., for determining the LD50 (the dose lethal to 50% of the population) and the ED50 (the dose therapeutically effective in 50% of the population). The dosage can vary depending upon the dosage form employed and the route of administration utilized. The dose ratio between toxic and therapeutic effects is the therapeutic index and can be expressed as the ratio LD50/ED50. Compositions and methods that exhibit large therapeutic indices are preferred. A therapeutically effective dose can be estimated initially from cell culture assays. Also, a dose can be formulated in animal models to achieve a circulating plasma concentration range that includes the IC50 (i.e., the concentration of the engineered EVs or fusion polypeptides provided herein), which achieves a half-maximal inhibition of symptoms) as determined in cell culture, or in an appropriate animal model. Levels of therapeutic engineered EVs in plasma can be measured, for example, by high performance liquid chromatography, enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), flow cytometry, FACS sorting, western blot, mass spectroscopy, tunable resistive pulse sensing, ExoView®, qRT-PCR, next generation sequencing (NGS), or by any analysis technique known by one of ordinary skill in the art. The effects of any particular dosage can be monitored by a suitable bioassay. The dosage can be determined by a physician and adjusted, as necessary, to suit observed effects of the treatment.
The engineered EV compositions, pharmaceutical compositions, or vaccine compositions described herein can be formulated, in some embodiments, with one or more additional therapeutic agents currently used to prevent or treat the infection, for example. The effective amount of such other agents depends on the amount of an engineered EV in the formulation, the type of disorder or treatment, and other factors discussed above. These are generally used in the same dosages and with administration routes as used herein before or about from 1 to 99% of the heretofore employed dosages.
The dosage ranges for the pharmaceutical compositions described herein depend upon the potency and encompass amounts large enough to produce the desired effect. The dosage should not be so large as to cause unacceptable adverse side effects. Generally, the dosage will vary with the age, condition, health, and sex of the patient and can be determined by one of skill in the art. The dosage can also be adjusted by the individual physician in the event of any complication. In some embodiments, the dosage ranges from 0.001 mg/kg body weight to 100 mg/kg body weight. In some embodiments, the dose range is from 5 μg/kg body weight to 100 μg/kg body weight. Alternatively, the dose range can be titrated to maintain serum levels between 0.1 μg/mL and 1000 μg/mL. For systemic administration, subjects can be administered a therapeutic amount, such as, e.g., 0.1 mg/kg, 0.5 mg/kg, 1.0 mg/kg, 2.0 mg/kg, 2.5 mg/kg, 5 mg/kg, 7.5 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg, 15 mg/kg, 20 mg/kg, 25 mg/kg, 30 mg/kg, 40 mg/kg, 50 mg/kg, or more. These doses can be administered by one or more separate administrations, or by continuous infusion. For repeated administrations over several days or longer, depending on the condition, the treatment is sustained until, for example, the infection is treated, as measured by the methods described above or known in the art. However, other dosage regimens can be useful.
In various embodiments, the quantities of artificial synapses that are administered to achieve these effects range from 1×106 to 1×107, 1×107 to 1×108, 1×108 to 1×109, 1×109 to 1×1010, 1×1010 to 1×1011, 1×1011 to 1×1012, 1×1012 to 1×1013, 1×1013 to 1×1014, 1×1014 to 1×1015, 1×1015 or more EVs/artificial synapses. In other embodiments, the numbers of artificial synapses are relative to the number of cells used in a clinically relevant dose for a cell-therapy method. For example, defining an effective dose range, dosing regimen and route of administration, may be guided by studies using fluorescently labeled artificial synapses, and measuring target tissue retention, which can be >10×, >50×, or >100× background, as measured 5, 10, 15, 30, or 30 or more min as a screening criterion. In certain embodiments, >100× background measured at 30 mins is a baseline measurement for a low and high dose that is then assess for safety and bioactivity (e.g., using MRI endpoints: scar size, global and regional function of the target organ being treated). In various embodiments, single doses are compared to two, three, four, four or more sequentially-applied doses. In various embodiments, the repeated or sequentially-applied doses are provided for treatment of an acute disease and/or condition.

Methods of Modulating Inflammation and Treating Autoimmune Diseases
The artificial synapses/engineered EVs and compositions thereof provided herein can be deployed in a therapeutic strategy against virtually any injury/disease, as providing a platform for altering biological signaling. This includes, for example, inflammation and immune signaling, which plays a role in virtually all injuries and diseases in living organisms.
Thus, described herein is a method of modulating inflammation, including selecting a subject afflicted with an inflammatory related disease and/or condition; and administering to the subject a composition including a plurality of artificial synapses (engineered EVs) to the subject, wherein administration of the composition modulates inflammation.
As used herein, the term “inflammation” or “inflamed” refers to activation or recruitment of the immune system or immune cells (e.g. T cells, B cells, macrophages). A tissue that has inflammation can become reddened, white, swollen, hot, painful, sensitivity, exhibit a loss of function, or have a film or mucus. Methods of identifying inflammation are well known in the art. Inflammation typically occurs following injury, infection by a microorganism, exposure to a substance (e.g., a toxin, chemical, or dust) or autoimmune dysfunction. Onset of inflammation may be rapid (e.g., immediately following injury) or slow (e.g., repeated exposure to an irritant such as a chemical over time) with a duration of minutes, hours, days, months, years, or an individual's life.
Inflammation plays a vital role in alerting the immune system of potential danger and damage within a body. Inflammation is necessary to control and repair injury. For example, acute inflammation is a response to physical trauma, infection, and stress. Acute inflammation helps prevent further injury and triggers healing and recovery. Unfortunately, inflammation can become excessive and inappropriately active, lasting beyond the typical recovery time from an injury or infection. Wherein healthy inflammation helps a body respond to injury, chronic inflammation perpetuates injury and may lead to negative consequences to one's health. In particular, autoimmune diseases are chronic diseases from a host's immune system attacking itself, often due to aberrant biological signaling in the host. Restoring normal homeostatic signaling via application of artificial synapses, particularly targeting immune checkpoints, represents a highly promising avenue. For example, surface bound immune-checkpoint proteins or fragments thereof may modulate immune cell stimulation and affect suppression of immune cell function when delivered via artificial synapses. Injection, inhalation, ingestion or topical application of artificial synapses with surface bound immune-checkpoint proteins or fragments thereof may be used to treat immune, auto-immune, inflammatory, and auto-inflammatory conditions. Examples include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) which is an inflammatory, progressive, life-threatening lung disease, psoriasis, a common chronic noncommunicable inflammatory skin disease, arthritis, a debilitating and painful degeneration of joints, among others well-understood to one of skill in the art.
In other embodiments, the inflammatory related disease and/or condition is acute, for example septicemia. In other embodiments, the inflammatory related disease and/or condition is chronic, for example chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. In other embodiments, the inflammatory condition is an autoimmune disease wherein the autoimmune disease and/or condition is one or more of: polymyositis, dermatomyositis, Graves' disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, myasthenia gravis, vasculitis, multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, scleroderma, systemic lupus erythematosus, inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn's disease, hyperthyroidism, autoimmune adrenal insufficiency, Sjogren syndrome, type I diabetes mellitus, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, myasthenia gravis, ulcerative colitis, uveitis, polyarteritis nodosa, relapsing polychondritis, Behcet's disease, reactive arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, Guillain-Barre syndrome, or optic neuropathy. In other embodiments, the disease and/or condition is chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, rheumatoid arthritis, uveoretinitis, psoriasis, and eczema. In other embodiments, the disease and/or condition is irritable bowel disease, multiple sclerosis or lupus
In other embodiments, the inflammatory related disease and/or condition is an ocular disease. As used herein, the terms “ocular disease”, “eye disorder” and “eye disease” are used interchangeably and refer to a disease or disorder that affects the health and/or vision of either one or both eyes or the general area of the eye(s), eye lid(s), or area surrounding or in near proximity to the eye(s). Eye disease may include, but are not limited to, macular degeneration (e.g., age-related macular degeneration), cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, diabetic macular edema, eye floaters, eye flashes, glaucoma, amblyopia, strabismus, retinitis (e.g., CMV retinitis), color blindness, keratoconus, retinal detachment, eyelid twitching, ocular hypertension, blepharitis, uveitis, Bietti's crystalline dystrophy, blepharospasm, cornea and corneal diseases, dry eye, histoplasmosis, macular hole, macular pucker, conjunctivitis, presbyopia, retinoblastoma, retinitis pigmentosa, retinopathy, Stargardt disease, Usher syndrome, uveal Coloma, and vitreous detachment, or the like.
Described herein is a method for treatment including, selecting a subject in need of treatment, administering a composition including a plurality of artificial synapses to the individual, wherein administration of the composition treats the subject. In certain embodiments, the subject is in need to treatment for a disease and/or condition involving tissue damage or dysfunction.
Described herein is a method of treating an autoimmune disease, inflammation, inflammatory disease or condition, or cancer in a subject, the method comprising: administering to a subject the an engineered EV or composition thereof as provided herein to the subject.
Measured or measurable parameters include clinically detectable markers of disease, for example, elevated or depressed levels of a clinical or biological marker, as well as parameters related to a clinically accepted scale of symptoms or markers for a disease or disorder. It will be understood, however, that the total usage of the compositions and formulations as disclosed herein will be decided by the attending physician within the scope of sound medical judgment. The exact amount required will vary depending on factors such as the type of disease being treated.
Non-limiting examples of clinical tests that can be used to assess autoimmune diseases, inflammatory conditions, or inflammation parameters include blood tests, skin biopsy, MRI, eye examination, ocular pressure tests, etc. Where necessary or desired, animal models of injury or disease can be used to gauge the effectiveness of a particular composition as described herein. For example, an EAU animal model, as demonstrated in the working examples can be used.
In various embodiments, administration of the plurality of artificial synapses alters gene expression in the damaged or dysfunctional tissue, improves viability of the damaged tissue, and/or enhances regeneration or production of new tissue in the individual.

Indeed, the present invention is in no way limited to the methods and materials described. For purposes of the present invention, the following terms are defined below.
As used herein, the term “extracellular vesicle” and “vesicle” are used interchangeably and refer to a particle, wherein the particle comprises a phospholipid bilayer that encloses an internal space and an exterior surface and may or may not be derived from a cell. The size of extracellular vesicles can range between 20 nm to 3 μm in diameter but may be smaller than 20 nm or larger than 3 μm. Examples of extracellular vesicles include, but is not limited to, exosomes (for example small exosomes and large exosomes), ectosomes, macrovesicles, microparticles, apoptotic bodies, vesicular organelles, oncosomes (for examples large oncosomes), exospheres, exomeres, cell derived nanovesicles (CDN) (e.g., by genesis via grating or shearing cells), liposomes or the like known by one of ordinary skill in the art. Extracellular vesicles may originate naturally via known or unknown biosynthetic pathways. Extracellular vesicles may be promoted to originate by using mechanical methods such as cell grating or cell shearing wherein a cell is grated or sheared causing portions or parts of the cell membrane to from vesicles. For example, CDNs may be formed by using mechanical methods such as cell grating or cell shearing wherein a cell is grated or sheared causing portions or parts of the cell membrane to from vesicles. Additional non-limiting examples of mechanical methods that can be used to form cell derived nanovesicles are further described in detail, e.g., Gob, W. J., Zou, S., Ong, W Y. et al. Bioinspired Cell-Derived Nanovesicles versus Exosomes as Drug Delivery Systems: a Cost-Effective Alternative. Sci Rep 7, 14322 (2017). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-017-14725-x, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.

Cargo may refer to a protein on the luminal side (e.g., in the internal space) of the extracellular vesicle wherein said protein encodes a vesicle targeting domain that may be in contact with the interior phospholipid layer of the extracellular vesicle. Cargo may refer to a protein on the luminal side (e.g., in the internal space) of the extracellular vesicle wherein said protein encodes a vesicle targeting domain that may be in contact with the interior phospholipid layer of the extracellular vesicle and wherein said protein may be presented into the internal space of the extracellular vesicle.
As used herein, the terms “sticky binder” and “vesicle targeting domain” and “anchor protein” are used interchangeably and refer to a protein that is covalently or non-covalently attached to at least one lipid wherein the one or more lipid is embedded within a membrane (e.g. a cell membrane), and the lipid serves to anchor the protein to the membrane. The terms “sticky binder” and “vesicle targeting domain” and “anchor protein” can also mean a protein sequence that encodes for one or more transmembrane domains wherein the one or more transmembrane domains spans at least partly through a phospholipid bilayer, for example the phospholipid bilayer of an extracellular vesicle. The transmembrane domain can be of a Type I or Type II membrane protein. Transmembrane domains can be structurally identified using methods known to those of skill in the art, such as sequence analysis programs that identify hydrophobic and hydrophilic domains (for example TMHMM Server, v. 2.0—DTU, Erik L. L. Sonnhammer, Gunnar von Heijne, and Anders Krogh: A hidden Markov model for predicting transmembrane helices in protein sequences. In Proc. of Sixth Int. Conf. on Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology, p 175-182 Ed J. Glasgow, T. Littlejohn, F. Major, R. Lathrop, D. Sankoff, and C. Sensen Menlo Park, Calif.: AAAI Press, 1998, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.)
A vesicle targeting domain may include, but is not limited to, one or more prenylation site, fatty acylation site, and/or glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) linked protein. One preferred embodiment of a vesicle targeting domain is the GPI sequence from CD55. Another preferred embodiment of a vesicle targeting domain is the GPI sequence from CD59. Another embodiment of a vesicle targeting domain is the C1C2 domain from MFGE8.

Vesicle targeting domains may include one or more sequences from 4F2 (for example 4F2 encoded by the solute carrier family 3 member 2 (SLC3A2) gene which makes up the heavy subunit of CD98). Vesicle targeting domains can include a sequence for one or more myristoylation sites. For example, the protein sequence for a myristoylation site from myristoylated alanine-rich C-kinase substrate (MARCKS) protein. Vesicle targeting domains can include a sequence for one or more palmitoylation sites. For example, the myristoylation sequence from the MARCKS protein may be modified to encode for a palmitoylation site. All variants, isoforms, or fragments or the like known by one of ordinary skill in the art are encompassed by the present invention.
Vesicle targeting domains may include transmembrane sequences from Homo sapiens transferrin receptor 2 (TFR2), transcript variant 1 (transferrin receptor protein 2 isoform 1) or versions therefore. In a preferred embodiment, the vesicle targeting domain may be a transmembrane domain from CD298.
As used herein, the terms “proteins” and “peptides” and “polypeptides” are used interchangeably herein to designate a series of amino acid residues connected to the other by peptide bonds between the alpha-amino and carboxy groups of adjacent residues. Although “protein” is often used in reference to relatively large polypeptides, and “peptide” is often used in reference to small polypeptides, usage of these terms in the art overlaps and varies. The term “peptide” as used herein refers to peptides, polypeptides, proteins and fragments of proteins, unless otherwise noted. The terms “protein” and “peptide” are used interchangeably herein when referring to a gene product and fragments thereof. Thus, exemplary peptides or proteins include gene products, naturally occurring proteins, homologs, orthologs, paralogs, fragments and other equivalents, variants, fragments, and analogs of the foregoing.

All variants are encompassed by the present invention.
As used herein, the term “immune synapse” and “cell synapse” are used interchangeably and refer to cell-to-cell interaction wherein said interaction results in activation, suppression, and/or adhesion of either one or more cells. Immune synapse or cell synapse are mediated by proteins that may be cytoplasmic, membrane bound, membrane associated, and/or secreted. Immune or cell synapses may be mediated by one or more “immune checkpoint proteins” which herein refers to any protein that is involved in maintaining immune homeostasis or plays a role in regulating immune activation or suppression. Immune checkpoint proteins may be cytoplasmic, membrane bound, membrane associated, and/or secreted.
As used herein, the term “fragment” or “active fragment” refers to a portion of a nucleic acid or polypeptide provided herein that retains the ability to be expressed by the engineered EVs provided herein. In some embodiments, the active fragment retains the ability to activate a target polypeptide, thereby increasing the activity of said target polypeptide (e.g., suppressing an immune response).
As used herein, the terms “specifically bind” and/or “specifically recognize” or “substantially binds” refers to the affinity of a binding molecule for a target molecule compared to the binding molecule's affinity for non-target molecules. A binding molecule (e.g., a POI domain) that specifically binds a target molecule (e.g., a target polypeptide provided herein) does not substantially recognize or bind non-target molecules. e.g., an antibody “specifically binds” and/or “specifically recognize” another molecule, meaning that this interaction is dependent on the presence of the binding specificity of the molecule structure, e.g., an antigenic epitope. As used herein, “non-specific binding” and “background binding” refers to the interaction that does not depend on the presence of specific structure (e.g., a specific antigenic epitopes). Methods of measuring binding of a polypeptide to a target are known in the art (e.g., differential scanning calorimetry, isothermal titration calorimetry, spectroscopy, crystallography, surface plasmon resonance, co-immunoprecipitation, pulldown assays, crosslinking, yeast two-hybrid system, tandem affinity purification-mass spectroscopy, protein microarrays, bio-layer interferometry, far-Western blots, computational prediction, analytical ultracentrifugation, light scattering, fluorescence spectroscopy, resonance energy transfer, ELISA or ELISPOT assays, or any other assays known in the art).
As used herein, the terms “treat,” “treatment,” “treating,” or “amelioration” refer to therapeutic treatments, wherein the object is to reverse, alleviate, ameliorate, inhibit, slow down or stop the progression or severity of a condition associated with, a disease or disorder. The term “treating” includes reducing or alleviating at least one adverse effect or symptom of a condition, disease or disorder associated with an infection or a cancer. Treatment is generally “effective” if one or more symptoms or clinical markers are reduced. Alternatively, treatment is “effective” if the progression of a disease is reduced or halted. That is, “treatment” includes not just the improvement of symptoms or markers, but also a cessation or at least slowing of progress or worsening of symptoms that would be expected in absence of treatment. Beneficial or desired clinical results include, but are not limited to, alleviation of one or more symptom(s), diminishment of extent of disease, stabilized (i.e., not worsening) state of disease, delay or slowing of disease progression, amelioration or palliation of the disease state, and remission (whether partial or total), whether detectable or undetectable. The term “treatment” of a disease also includes providing relief from the symptoms or side-effects of the disease (including palliative treatment).
As used herein “preventing” or “prevention” refers to any methodology where the disease state does not occur due to the actions of the methodology (such as, for example, administration of a composition or construct as described herein). In one aspect, it is understood that prevention can also mean that the disease is not established to the extent that occurs in untreated controls.

As described, artificial synapses are engineered to induce and propagate biological signaling, including for example, antagonist and agonist signaling. Artificial synapses are designed to include hallmark biophysical and biochemical features of extracellular vesicles, further including vesicle targeting domains and signaling domains. Vesicle targeting domains capable of attaching to extracellular vesicles such as exosomes, signaling domains, optionally including a linker (e.g., Fc linker), can be organized in genetic vector constructs. Designs are shown in
Sticky binders are extracellular vesicle targeting sequences. Preliminary extracellular vesicle targeting sequences of interest are from, but not limited to, 4F2 (CD98), ADAM10, CD298, TFR2, transmembrane domains of CD9, MARCKS, KRAS, etc. or the like as appreciate by one of ordinary skill in the art. The Inventors discovered high efficiency when proteins are engineered with a GPI domain. Optionally, linker regions such as an Fc linker between the vesicle targeting domains and signaling domains can be added.
A variety of signaling domains are of interest with proof-of-concept examples including PD-L1, PD-L2 and CTLA-4 (CD152). Artificial synapses including these three signaling domains are shown in
Each of these elements are described in the following non-limiting examples.
Examples of constructs including these variable elements (e.g., sticky binders GPI or C1C2, or signaling domains including PD-L1, PD-L2 and CTLA-4 (CD152) were engineered into vectors shown in
Upon expression of hPD-L1-Fc-GPI in mammalian cells, artificial synapses were further purified using a size exclusion resin marketed for exosome purification. Large MW artificial synapses elute in the first fraction as shown by the high hPD-L1 concentration and exosome quantity (2.26E9 artificial synapses/ml) in elution 1. Clean in place (CIP) fractions show bound and eliminated proteins from the Inventors' exosome elution. Results are shown in
Artificial synapses engineered from exosomes such as hPDL1-Fc-GPI after elution from size exclusion resin marketed for exosome purification can be further purified via a size exclusion column as shown here. Using a size exclusion chromatography (SEC), artificial synapses elute in fractions 7-9. Total protein (determined by qBit) and hPD-L1 ng/ml (determined by ELISA) of each fraction is shown in the graph. Bars show exosome number per ml (i.e. 1E10 artificial synapses/ml etc.). Fractions 7-9 contain >99% purified artificial synapses. Fractions 7-9 are pooled and may be concentrated using a filtration device, for example a 10K MWCO Amicon Centrifugal Filter. Final purified product is filtered through a low protein binding 0.2 μm or 0.45 μm filter, for example a PES filter. Results are shown in
Exosome quantity and hPD-L1 concentration was determined in SEC fractions 7-9. Knowing the molecular weight of engineered hPD-L1, the Inventors can determine the number of hPD-L1 molecules per exosome to be approximately between 12 to 40 PD-L1/exosome. This value is consistent between different purification runs and constructs. Results are shown in

To perform this validation method, the Inventors modified the PathHunter PD-1 Signaling Bioassay from DiscoverX Briefly, the PathHunter PD-1 Signaling Bioassay relies on the well-established PathHunter Enzyme Fragment Complementation (EFC) technology to interrogate receptor activity. EFC consists of a split β-galactosidase (β-gal) enzyme: the Enzyme Donor (ED) and Enzyme Acceptor (EA) fragments which independently have no β-gal activity. However, when forced to complement they form an active β-gal enzyme that will hydrolyze substrate to produce a chemiluminescent signal. The PathHunter PD-1 Signaling Bioassay consists of human cells engineered to stably express an ED-tagged PD-1 receptor, while EA is fused to the phosphotyrosine-binding SH2 domain of the intracellular signaling protein, SHP1. Ligand or antibody-induced activation of the receptor results in phosphorylation of the receptor's cytosolic tail. The SH2-domain fused to EA binds the phosphorylated receptor, forcing complementation of ED and EA, resulting in formation of an active β-gal enzyme, which hydrolyzes the substrate to produce a chemiluminescent signal. Full-length PD-1 receptor was engineered with a small β-gal fragment (ED in red) fused to its C-terminus, and the SH2-domain of SHP1 was engineered with the complementing β-gal fragment (EA). These constructs were stably expressed in Jurkat cells (produced by DiscoverX), while PD-L1 and PD-L2 was stably expressed on artificial synapses produced by Diadem Biotherapeutics. Artificial synapses were engineered to have surface expressed human PD-L1 or PD-L2. Briefly, the gene sequence coding for the extracellular domain of human PD-L1 or PD-L2 was linked to the exosome via a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) linker with an Fc domain between the linker and PD-L1 or PD-L2 (PD-L1-Fc-GPI and PD-L2-Fc-GPI). Additional variations of the Inventors' PD-L1 and PD-L2 artificial synapses include cloning a C1C2 linker (from MFGE8) in place of the GPI linker, and with or without the Fc domain. The Inventors also cloned murine versions of PD-L1 and PD-L2 extracellular domains in place of the human PD-L1 and PD-L2 all variations. Ligand engagement, through addition of ligand-presenting artificial synapses, results in phosphorylation of PD-1, leading to the recruitment of SHP1-EA
The Inventors obtained approximately 1000× higher increase in Relative Light Units (RLU) in Jurkat signaling cells treated with PD-L1 or PD-L2 labeled artificial synapses when compared to soluble PD-L1-Fc or PD-L2-Fc ligand, respectively. Meaning, it took 1000× less ug/ml of PD-L1 or PD-L2 on artificial synapses than solubilized PD-L1-Fc or PD-L2 ligand to achieve the same RLU signaling. Results are shown in
Experimental autoimmune uveoretinitis (EAU) is an organ-specific, T lymphocyte-mediated autoimmune disease, which serves as a model for several human ocular inflammations of an apparently autoimmune nature. There is a statistically significant initial reduction in EAU in mPDL1 artificial synapse treated rats via either the intravitreal and intravenous delivery modes. 2nd intravitreal and 3rd intravenous injections are performed on Day 12. There appears to be a more rapid rate of resolution in the 1× intravitreal and intravenous groups. (C) Simplified view of aforementioned results. (D) Weight of rats was monitored throughout the study. 3rd intravitreal and 4th intravenous injections are performed on Day 16. There does not appear to be any significant change in EAU in any of the test groups. The aforementioned results provide proof of principle of successfully immunizing the rats with human cell derived artificial synapses with mouse PDL1 injected into rats. Results are shown in

Furthermore, a commercially available multimodal exosome purification resin was also used to purify and isolate PD-L1-GPI exosomes and PD-L1-Fc-GPI exosomes. Fraction 7 was further analyzed by dot blots (
Large MW exosomes elute in the first fraction as shown by the high hPD-L1 concentration and exosome quantity (2.26E9 exosomes/ml) in elution 1. Clean in place (CIP) fractions show bound and eliminated proteins from our exosome elution. Exosome quantity and hPD-L1 concentration was determined in SEC fractions 7-9. Knowing the molecular weight of engineered hPD-L1, we can determine the number of hPD-L1 molecules per exosome to be approximately 12 PD-L1/exosome. This value is consistent between different purification runs and constructs (
Human hPD-L2 and hCTLA-4-Fc-GPI SEC fractions were purified. In addition, purification of the mouse PD-L1-FcGPI exosomes was performed (
Fc-GPI enables high density display and has a higher abundance than endogenous PTGFRN or CD81. Therefore, comparison proteomics of transprotein expression and surface labeling on the engineered exosomes, hPD-L1-Fc-GPI; hPD-L2-Fc-GPI; and hCTLA-Fc-GPI, was performed to determine the effects on endogenous protein expression in engineered exosomes. It was confirmed that the fusion polypeptide expression does not affect the relative expression of native and associated exosome proteins. However, the trans protein may crowd out abundant proteins like CD81 (data not shown).

Each higher grade includes the criteria of the preceding one.
It was discovered that there is a statistically significant initial reduction in EAU in mPDL1 exosome treated rats via either the intravitreal and intravenous delivery modes as compared with untreated animals (
The inventors designed, engineered, and purified pcDNA5-FRT-4F2-4-1BBL exosomes by the methods provided herein (
In addition to Type I and Type II display fusion proteins on the surface of an EV, exosomes can be loaded with fusion proteins that are localized to the lumen of the phospholipid bilayer of the exosome (
NanoLuc luciferase expressing exosomes were also purified with the Myr/Palm sequence incorporated into the vector encoding the fusion polypeptide. A Qubit fluorometer was used to measure total protein and Promega Nano-Glo substrate and plate luminometer to measure luminescence (
