1 Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Annual Progress Report: 2007 Nonformula Grant Reporting Period July 1, 2011 May 31, 2012 Nonformula Grant Overview The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia received $2,110,362 in nonformula funds for the grant award period June 1, 2008 through May 31, Accomplishments for the reporting period are described below. Research Project: Project Title and Purpose Prenatal Stem Cell Therapy for Sickle Cell Disease - We are proposing a new and novel approach to cure Sickle Cell Disease. In utero hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is the transplantation of blood forming stem cells into the fetus. Because of unique aspects of fetal biology, these cells can engraft and produce a fraction of the blood cells in the recipient. While this fraction is too small to treat Sickle Cell Disease, it results in permanent immunologic tolerance for the specific donor. This tolerance allows a non-toxic bone marrow transplant from the same donor to be performed after birth, resulting in high enough levels of donor cells to cure Sickle Cell Disease. If the aims of this proposal are achieved, it will lead to clinical trials that may change the way Sickle Cell Disease is currently treated, and will provide a non-toxic therapy that will prevent children from ever experiencing the manifestations of this disease. Duration of Project 6/1/2008-5/31/2012 Project Overview In utero hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (IUHCT) is a method of achieving allogeneic mixed hematopoietic chimerism with associated donor specific tolerance without myeloablation or immunosuppression. Individuals made tolerant by IUHCT can undergo a minimal conditioning postnatal hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) from the same donor without toxicity and improvement of donor cell chimerism to levels that are potentially therapeutic for Sickle Cell Disease (SCD). The broad objective of this proposal is to develop the strategy of IUHCT combined with minimal conditioning postnatal HSCT to cure patients that are prenatally diagnosed with Sickle Cell Disease. The Specific Aims of this proposal are: Specific Aim #1. To perform pre-clinical studies in the canine model designed to optimize the safety of the IUHCT followed by postnatal minimal conditioning HSCT strategy. Further studies will be performed in the established pre-clinical canine model to confirm the optimal T-cell dose Children s Hospital of Philadelphia 2007 Nonformula Grant on Regenerative Medicine Page 1
2 for facilitation of engraftment with minimal risk of GVHD. These studies are a priority and will be completed prior to initiation of the Phase I clinical trial. Specific Aim #2. To experimentally test novel strategies to enhance engraftment and donor specific tolerance after IUHCT. We have developed a protocol in the canine model that can achieve levels of donor cell chimerism that would be anticipated to be curative for SCD patients. However, additional strategies designed to improve the consistency of tolerance induction that are translatable to clinical application will be evaluated. Specific Aim #3. To establish a model of community based participatory research inclusive of the SCD and African American community and to lay the groundwork for a future clinical trial of IUHCT for treatment of SCD. This aim will be coordinated through the Sickle Cell Center at the Children s Hospital of Philadelphia, Cheyney University, and the Philadelphia/Delaware Valley Chapter of the Sickle Cell Disease Association of America. It will include: 1) a social awareness program designed for education of African American couples and others at risk for an affected child with SCD for assessment of their views and opinions regarding a trial of this therapy and 2) research training of undergraduate students and mentoring of junior faculty from Cheyney University through direct involvement in the scientific and social components of this proposal. Principal Investigator Alan W. Flake, MD Professor of Surgery and Obstetrics Children s Hospital of Philadelphia ARC 1116B 3615 Civic Center Boulevard Philadelphia, PA (215) Other Participating Researchers Kwaku Ohene-Frempong, MD, Edwin M. Horwitz, MD, PhD, Robert J. Levy, MD, Timothy Brazelton, PhD, Michael Chorney, PhD - employed by Children s Hospital of Philadelphia Adedoyin Adeyiga, PhD - employed by Cheyney University Zemoria Brandon, BSW - employed by Sickle Cell Disease Association Expected Research Outcomes and Benefits Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is a major cause of morbidity, mortality, shortened life-span, and health care costs among African Americans. It is the most common genetic disorder among African Americans with 1 in 8 African Americans carrying a mutation and over 50,000 homozygous, affected individuals in the US alone. On a worldwide basis, hemoglobinopathies, i.e., SCD and Thalassemia are among the most common of all genetic disorders causing untold human suffering and cost to society. At present there is no curative therapy for SCD that can be widely applied. While hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is curative, the morbidity and mortality of standard HSCT, except in the few individuals with a sibling matched donor, is Children s Hospital of Philadelphia 2007 Nonformula Grant on Regenerative Medicine Page 2
3 prohibitive. The goal of this proposal, if successful, would be the development of a therapy that would result in the complete correction of SCD in prenatally diagnosed patients. Because of treatment early in life, affected children and adults would never experience the manifestations of the disease and would be expected to have a normal life span without the sequelae of sickling red cells and the associated complications related to microvascular occlusion. Moreover, the treatment would be anticipated to be non-toxic with few short or long-term complications allowing the beneficiaries of the treatment to live normal lives. The approach could be applied to most patients born with SCD in this country and in many areas of the world if population screening for carrier status were instituted and carrier couples underwent early prenatal diagnosis on all pregnancies. Currently, population screening for SCD is incomplete, and early prenatal diagnosis has not been embraced by the African American community due to lack of a therapeutic endpoint. We would predict if this therapy is proven successful, that African American attitudes toward these procedures would change, with institution of widespread prenatal diagnosis for couples at risk. Finally, if successful for SCD, the same approach would be predicted to be applicable to many other disorders, including Thalassemia and many immunodeficiency diseases. Summary of Research Completed Specific Aim #1. To perform pre-clinical studies in the canine model designed to optimize the safety of the IUHCT followed by postnatal minimal conditioning HSCT strategy. The canine injections performed in the current funding period are summarized in Table 1. In the current reporting period we completed the study initiated in the last funding period of optimized IUHCT and secondary donor hematopoietic chimerism. The canine model was optimized based on our analysis of immune and hematopoietic ontogeny in the dog and on our observation that intravascular injection (performed by ultrasound guided intracardiac injection in this model) was far more efficient than intraperitoneal injection. We also determined that intracardiac injection was inconsistent due to technical constraints prior to days gestation. In the current funding period we completed the cohort of animals that received intracardiac injection of maternal BM derived cells containing 5 x 10 8 to 5 x 10 9 CD34 + cells and 5 x 10 8 CD3 + cells/kg at days gestation. Using this protocol with continued experience, our technical ability to deliver the full dose of cells has continued to improve and we are now very consistent in our ultrasound guided injections. Accordingly, we have achieved levels of engraftment as high as 25 40% in our injections performed in the current reporting period. Overall, this cohort of animals now numbers 23 animals of which 20 are macrochimeric (VNTR detectable sensitivity 2.5%) with an average level of donor chimerism in the peripheral blood of 10.9%. We attribute the absence of macrochimerism in three of the dogs to technical problems with the injection as all of the other pups in each of the 3 litters were chimeric. We elected not to attempt to perform postnatal non-myeloablative same donor transplants (boosts) in this high chimerism cohort so that we could observe the natural history the mixed chimerism achieved. All of the animals have now been followed between 4 and 13 months. No animals have lost their chimerism and the levels of chimerism have remained remarkably stable for the length of observation (Figure 1). In addition, no animal in this cohort has developed any evidence of graft versus host disease (GVHD). This cohort of animals will be reported when a minimum of 6 months of follow up has been achieved in all animals. In addition to completion of the optimized protocol, we also continued to follow chimerism levels after IUHCT in our long term cohort of animals. It should Children s Hospital of Philadelphia 2007 Nonformula Grant on Regenerative Medicine Page 3
4 be noted that all of the animals in the long-term group received intraperitoneal transplants and had initial chimerism levels of < 2% prior to postnatal boosting. The research team is pleased to report that the animals have remained healthy, and have maintained their levels of chimerism (with increases over time in some cases) for now up to 4 years in some cases. Importantly, in no instance have any of the chimeric pups lost chimerism after it was established. This is a major observation that will be critical in obtaining regulatory approval for clinical application of IUHCT. The remainder of our effort in the current funding period in the canine model has been directed toward assessing the threshold of T-cell dosage for induction of GVHD. Based on work in the murine model we hypothesized that it was not the absolute CD3+ dose but rather that T cell to accessory cell (AC) ratio that determined risk of GVHD with a high T cell/ac causing GVHD. We started the study with whole BM as this provides a higher dose of T-cells but a lower T cell/ac ratio than can be achieved by T cell depletion with add back. With IUHCT of unprocessed BM (16% CD3+ cells) we observed acute, lethal GVHD (Euthanized from 1 to 23 days post delivery) in 6 of 6 puppies. We next returned to our T cell add back regimen. Normally we add back T-cells to reconstitute to 1% CD3+ cells. The next increment was 3% CD3+ cells. We have a litter born in which 5 of 5 animals are surviving that received 3% CD3+ cells with no evidence of GVHD. Unfortunately, we have been unable to test chimerism in the past 4 months as the company providing the VNTR probes has changed ownership. After a significant delay in responsiveness, they are once again providing probes and we will now be able to analyze ongoing chimerism in all of our animals as well as this litter. We also performed an IUHCT experiment with 7.5% CD3+ add back. Five pups were injected with 3/5 born. All three have succumbed to GVHD although one animal was mild and appeared to be responding to steroid therapy. Unfortunately due to protocol restrictions we were required to euthanize this animal to avoid a protocol violation. So it appears that the threshold T-cell dose will be between 3 and 7.5% CD3+ cells. We will also be able, once the new VNTR reagent arrives, to analyze chimerism and determine whether we see a chimerism advantage in animals receiving a higher dose of Tcells. Specific Aim #2. To experimentally test novel strategies to enhance engraftment and donor specific tolerance after IUHCT. Dr. Edwin Horwitz s group has completed work toward the generation of a transplantable population of canine mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) to facilitate the performance of Experiment #2a. As per the last progress report the researchers elected not to perform further injections of these cells until a cohort of chimeric animals have been produced as a baseline for the facilitation studies. Although they have now been produced, we did not manage to test MSC injection during this funding period. Experiment 2b Design of an in situ gelation system for sustained cell delivery Dr. Levy and Chorny have not pursued this strategy for maintaining injected cells at the site of delivery further in the past year. The project was deemed not promising enough at this point to justify the use of dogs. The improved engraftment results reported above, made this Aim somewhat obsolete. Experiment 2c To selectively enhance the competitive capacity of the donor cell population Over the past year Dr. Brazelton has translated the findings from the optimized in vitro culture system to the murine model. In this system, enriched HSC are cultured in hypoxic conditions Children s Hospital of Philadelphia 2007 Nonformula Grant on Regenerative Medicine Page 4
5 with factors that may increase donor cell competitive capacity by a number of established pathways (Wnt, HoxB4, SCF, SDF-1a, VEGF-A, Ang-1, PGE2, diprotin A, SB21) involving stem cell proliferation or homing interactions. Over the past year, in vivo studies of preincubation of donor HSC with each of these factors at the predetermined optimal dosage have been investigated in the murine model. Each factor has been assessed for impact on homing, short term engraftment, and long term (> 4 months) engraftment. The results of these studies in general been somewhat disappointing. Of the factors investigated, only culture in hypoxia alone and Wnt5a demonstrated improved short term engraftment over baseline. However, the improvement in engraftment was not sustained and levels of engraftment were not statistically different at the 4 month time point. While the enriched HSC cultured in hypoxic conditions with PGE-2 did not demonstrate enhanced competitive capacity, during the progress of this grant, we noted the success of other investigators with pre-incubation of donor bone marrow cells with PGE-2 in post natal bone marrow transplant studies and decided to apply their methods in our murine IUHCT model. We investigated the effects of normoxic pre-incubation of BM cells with PGE-2, with or without Diprotin A (CD26 blockade which we have previously demonstrated selectively improves homing of donor cells). The results are remarkable with a 2-3 fold increase in engraftment with PGE-2 alone and an even slightly higher level of engraftment with the combination of Diprotin A and PGE2 which is sustained at 4 months. This is a promising clinically applicable strategy that can now be tested in the canine model. Specific Aim #3. To establish a model of community based participatory research inclusive of the SCD and African American community and to lay the groundwork for a future clinical trial of IUHCT for treatment of SCD. The three years of the Applied Biological Methods course with Cheney University was completed as proposed in the original proposal and described in the last Interim report. Sub Aim #3a. Social awareness program designed for education of African American couples and others at risk for an effected child with SCD for assessment of their views and opinions regarding a trial of this therapy This cooperative effort headed by Dr. Ohene Frempong between the CHOP Sickle Cell Center, the Delaware Valley Chapter of the Sickle Cell Disease Association, and Cheyney University was initiated. A survey designed to assess African American attitudes toward prenatal treatment of SCD was designed with input from CHOP Psychosocial Services. In addition, a series of educational vignette s regarding prenatal treatment of SCD were designed with question sets to assess the readers understanding. These surveys and educational tools were reviewed by the SCDAA and their comments incorporated and are now ready for validation by focus groups and think aloud interviews with members of the SCD community. They will then be used for education and counseling of patients regarding IUHCT for SCD. Children s Hospital of Philadelphia 2007 Nonformula Grant on Regenerative Medicine Page 5
