RAP-536 (Murine ACE-536/Luspatercept) Inhibits Smad2/3 Signaling and Promotes Erythroid Differentiation By Restoring GATA-1 Function in Murine β-thalassemia Pedro A. Martinez, PhD December 7 th, 2015

Outline Background Mechanism of ACE-536 Ligand binding profile Molecular Targets RNA-seq analysis GATA1 negative regulation via GDF11 Conclusions

ACE-536 (Luspatercept) is a Modified ActRIIB Receptor Fusion Protein ACE-536 is a fusion protein that consists of a modified activin receptor (ActRIIB) - a member of the TGFβ superfamily - and the Fc of human IgG1 Inhibits Smad2/3 signaling and acts as a ligand trap Robust stimulation of RBC production in mice, rat and cynomolgus monkeys ACE-536 Modified Extracellular Domain of ActRIIB Fc Domain of human IgG 1 Antibody Co-developed with Celgene RAP-536 is murine ortholog of ACE-536

Effect of ACE-536 (Luspatercept) on Erythropoiesis ACE-536 treatment increases RBCs however activity is distinct from EPO Effect is focused on the differentiation of erythroid precursors while EPO affects proliferation of BFU-E and CFU-E ACE-536 promotes differentiation of Baso, Poly, and Ortho Erythroblasts ACE-536 does not affect other cell lineages ACE-536 has corrected anemia in various murine preclinical models of ineffective erythropoiesis such as MDS and β-thalassemia Suragani et al., Nature Medicine 2014
