BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0004] T cell adoptive immunotherapy is a promising approach for
cancer treatment. This strategy utilizes isolated human T cells
that have been genetically-modified to enhance their specificity
for a specific tumor associated antigen. Genetic modification may
involve the expression of a chimeric antigen receptor or an
exogenous T cell receptor to graft antigen specificity onto the T
cell. By contrast to exogenous T cell receptors, chimeric antigen
receptors derive their specificity from the variable domains of a
monoclonal antibody. Thus, T cells expressing chimeric antigen
receptors (CAR T cells) induce tumor immunoreactivity in a major
histocompatibility complex non-restricted manner. To date, T cell
adoptive immunotherapy has been utilized as a clinical therapy for
a number of cancers, including B cell malignancies (e.g., acute
lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL),
and chronic lymphocytic leukemia), multiple myeloma, neuroblastoma,
glioblastoma, advanced gliomas, ovarian cancer, mesothelioma,
melanoma, and pancreatic cancer.
[0005] Despite its potential usefulness as a cancer treatment,
adoptive immunotherapy with CAR T cells has been limited, in part,
by expression of the endogenous T cell receptor on the cell
surface. CAR T cells expressing an endogenous T cell receptor may
recognize major and minor histocompatibility antigens following
administration to an allogeneic patient, which can lead to the
development of graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD). As a result,
clinical trials have largely focused on the use of autologous CAR T
cells, wherein a patient's T cells are isolated,
genetically-modified to incorporate a chimeric antigen receptor,
and then re-infused into the same patient. An autologous approach
provides immune tolerance to the administered CAR T cells; however,
this approach is constrained by both the time and expense necessary
to produce patient-specific CAR T cells after a patient's cancer
has been diagnosed.
[0006] Thus, it would be advantageous to develop "off the shelf"
CAR T cells, prepared using T cells from a third party donor, that
have reduced expression of the endogenous T cell receptor and do
not initiate GVHD upon administration. Such products could be
generated and validated in advance of diagnosis, and could be made
available to patients as soon as necessary. Therefore, a need
exists for the development of allogeneic CAR T cells that lack an
endogenous T cell receptor in order to prevent the occurrence of
GVHD.
[0007] Genetic modification of genomic DNA can be performed using
site-specific, rare-cutting endonucleases that are engineered to
recognize DNA sequences in the locus of interest. Methods for
producing engineered, site-specific endonucleases are known in the
art. For example, zinc-finger nucleases (ZFNs) can be engineered to
recognize and cut pre-determined sites in a genome. ZFNs are
chimeric proteins comprising a zinc finger DNA-binding domain fused
to the nuclease domain of the FokI restriction enzyme. The zinc
finger domain can be redesigned through rational or experimental
means to produce a protein that binds to a pre-determined DNA
sequence .about.18 basepairs in length. By fusing this engineered
protein domain to the FokI nuclease, it is possible to target DNA
breaks with genome-level specificity. ZFNs have been used
extensively to target gene addition, removal, and substitution in a
wide range of eukaryotic organisms (reviewed in Dural et al.
(2005), Nucleic Acids Res 33, 5978). Likewise, TAL-effector
nucleases (TALENs) can be generated to cleave specific sites in
genomic DNA. Like a ZFN, a TALEN comprises an engineered,
site-specific DNA-binding domain fused to the FokI nuclease domain
(reviewed in Mak et al. (2013), Curr Opin Struct Biol. 23:93-9). In
this case, however, the DNA binding domain comprises a tandem array
of TAL-effector domains, each of which specifically recognizes a
single DNA basepair. A limitation that ZFNs and TALENs have for the
practice of the current invention is that they are heterodimeric,
so that the production of a single functional nuclease in a cell
requires co-expression of two protein monomers.
[0008] Compact TALENs have an alternative endonuclease architecture
that avoids the need for dimerization (Beurdeley et al. (2013), Nat
Commun. 4:1762). A Compact TALEN comprises an engineered,
site-specific TAL-effector DNA-binding domain fused to the nuclease
domain from the I-TevI homing endonuclease. Unlike FokI, I-TevI
does not need to dimerize to produce a double-strand DNA break so a
Compact TALEN is functional as a monomer.
[0009] Engineered endonucleases based on the CRISPR/Cas9 system are
also know in the art (Ran et al. (2013), Nat Protoc. 8:2281-2308;
Mali et al. (2013), Nat Methods 10:957-63). A CRISPR endonuclease
comprises two components: (1) a caspase effector nuclease,
typically microbial Cas9; and (2) a short "guide RNA" comprising a
.about.20 nucleotide targeting sequence that directs the nuclease
to a location of interest in the genome. By expressing multiple
guide RNAs in the same cell, each having a different targeting
sequence, it is possible to target DNA breaks simultaneously to
multiple sites in the genome. Thus, CRISPR/Cas9 nucleases are
suitable for the present invention. The primary drawback of the
CRISPR/Cas9 system is its reported high frequency of off-target DNA
breaks, which could limit the utility of the system for treating
human patients (Fu et al. (2013), Nat Biotechnol. 31:822-6).
[0010] Homing endonucleases are a group of naturally-occurring
nucleases that recognize 15-40 base-pair cleavage sites commonly
found in the genomes of plants and fungi. They are frequently
associated with parasitic DNA elements, such as group 1
self-splicing introns and inteins. They naturally promote
homologous recombination or gene insertion at specific locations in
the host genome by producing a double-stranded break in the
chromosome, which recruits the cellular DNA-repair machinery
(Stoddard (2006), Q. Rev. Biophys. 38: 49-95). Homing endonucleases
are commonly grouped into four families: the LAGLIDADG (SEQ ID
NO:7) family, the GIY-YIG family, the His-Cys box family and the
HNH family. These families are characterized by structural motifs,
which affect catalytic activity and recognition sequence. For
instance, members of the LAGLIDADG (SEQ ID NO:7) family are
characterized by having either one or two copies of the conserved
LAGLIDADG (SEQ ID NO:7) motif (see Chevalier et al. (2001), Nucleic
Acids Res. 29(18): 3757-3774). The LAGLIDADG (SEQ ID NO:7) homing
endonucleases with a single copy of the LAGLIDADG (SEQ ID NO:7)
motif form homodimers, whereas members with two copies of the
LAGLIDADG (SEQ ID NO:7) motif are found as monomers.
[0011] I-CreI (SEQ ID NO: 6) is a member of the LAGLIDADG (SEQ ID
NO:7) family of homing endonucleases that recognizes and cuts a 22
basepair recognition sequence in the chloroplast chromosome of the
algae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Genetic selection techniques have
been used to modify the wild-type I-CreI cleavage site preference
(Sussman et al. (2004), J. Mol. Biol. 342: 31-41; Chames et al.
(2005), Nucleic Acids Res. 33: e178; Seligman et al. (2002),
Nucleic Acids Res. 30: 3870-9, Arnould et al. (2006), J. Mol. Biol.
355: 443-58). More recently, a method of rationally-designing
mono-LAGLIDADG (SEQ ID NO:7) homing endonucleases was described
that is capable of comprehensively redesigning I-CreI and other
homing endonucleases to target widely-divergent DNA sites,
including sites in mammalian, yeast, plant, bacterial, and viral
genomes (WO 2007/047859).
[0012] As first described in WO 2009/059195, I-CreI and its
engineered derivatives are normally dimeric but can be fused into a
single polypeptide using a short peptide linker that joins the
C-terminus of a first subunit to the N-terminus of a second subunit
(Li et al. (2009), Nucleic Acids Res. 37:1650-62; Grizot et al.
(2009), Nucleic Acids Res. 37:5405-19). Thus, a functional
"single-chain" meganuclease can be expressed from a single
transcript.
[0013] The use of engineered meganucleases for cleaving DNA targets
in the human T cell receptor alpha constant region was previously
disclosed in International Publication WO 2014/191527. The '527
publication discloses variants of the I-OnuI meganuclease that are
engineered to target a recognition sequence (SEQ ID NO:3 of the
'527 publication) within exon 1 of the TCR alpha constant region
gene. Although the '527 publication discusses that a chimeric
antigen receptor can be expressed in TCR knockout cells, the
authors do not disclose the insertion of the chimeric antigen
receptor coding sequence into the meganuclease cleavage site in the
TCR alpha constant region gene.
[0014] The use of other nucleases and mechanisms for disrupting
expression of the endogenous TCR have also been disclosed. For
example, the use of zinc finger nucleases for disrupting TCR genes
in human T cells was described by U.S. Pat. No. 8,956,828 and by
U.S. Patent Application Publication No. US2014/0349402. U.S.
Publication No. US2014/0301990 describes the use of zinc finger
nucleases and transcription-activator like effector nucleases
(TALENs), and a CRISPR/Cas system with an engineered single guide
RNA for targeting TCR genes in an isolated T cell. U.S. Patent
Application Publication No. US2012/0321667 discloses the use of
small-hairpin RNAs that target nucleic acids encoding specific TCRs
and/or CD3 chains in T cells.
[0015] However, the present invention improves upon the teachings
of the prior art. The present inventors are the first to teach
genetically-modified cells that comprise an exogenous
polynucleotide sequence (e.g., a chimeric antigen receptor or
exogenous TCR coding sequence) inserted into the human TCR alpha
constant region gene, which simultaneously disrupts expression of
the endogenous T cell receptor at the cell surface. Further, the
prior art does not teach the meganucleases or the recognition
sequences described herein, or their use for producing such
genetically-modified cells.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0016] The present invention provides a genetically-modified cell
comprising in its genome a modified T cell receptor (TCR) alpha
constant region gene. Such a cell is a genetically-modified human T
cell, or a genetically-modified cell derived from a human T cell.
Further, such a cell has reduced cell-surface expression of the
endogenous TCR when compared to an unmodified control cell. The

at least 95%, or up to 100% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO:117.
[0025] In another such embodiment, the chimeric antigen receptor
has at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 95%, or up

[0026] In another embodiment, the exogenous polynucleotide

[0027] In another embodiment, the nucleic acid sequence of the

[0028] In another embodiment, the exogenous polynucleotide is

[0031] In another aspect, the invention provides a pharmaceutical

[0032] In another aspect, the invention provides a

thereof. In one such aspect, the medicament is useful in the
treatment of cancer. In some embodiments, the treatment of cancer
is immunotherapy.
[0033] In another aspect, the invention provides a method for
producing a genetically-modified cell comprising a modified human
TCR alpha constant region gene, the method comprising: (a)
introducing into a cell: (i) a first nucleic acid sequence encoding
an engineered nuclease; or (ii) an engineered nuclease protein;
wherein the engineered nuclease produces a cleavage site at a
recognition sequence within the human TCR alpha constant region
gene; and (b) introducing into the cell a second nucleic acid
sequence comprising an exogenous polynucleotide. In such a method,
the cell is a human T cell or is derived from a human T cell.
Additionally, the sequence of the exogenous polynucleotide is
inserted into the human TCR alpha constant region gene at the
cleavage site. Further, the genetically-modified cell has reduced
cell-surface expression of the endogenous TCR when compared to an
unmodified control cell.
[0034] In various embodiments of the method, the first nucleic acid
sequence or the engineered nuclease protein can be introduced into
the cell prior to introducing the second nucleic acid, or
subsequent to introducing the second nucleic acid.
[0035] In one embodiment of the method, the second nucleic acid
sequence comprises from 5' to 3': (a) a 5' homology arm that is
homologous to the 5' upstream sequence flanking the cleavage site;
(b) the exogenous polynucleotide; and (c) a 3' homology arm that is
homologous to the 3' downstream sequence flanking the cleavage
site. In such an embodiment, the sequence of the exogenous
polynucleotide is inserted into the human TCR alpha constant region
gene at the cleavage site by homologous recombination.
[0036] In another embodiment of the method, the second nucleic acid
lacks substantial homology to the cleavage site, and the sequence
of the exogenous polynucleotide is inserted into the human TCR
alpha constant region gene by non-homologous end-joining.
[0037] In another embodiment of the method, the exogenous
polynucleotide comprises a nucleic acid sequence encoding a
chimeric antigen receptor.
[0038] In another embodiment of the method, the exogenous
polynucleotide comprises a first promoter sequence that drives
expression of the exogenous polynucleotide.
[0039] In another embodiment of the method, the first nucleic acid
encoding the engineered nuclease is introduced into the cell using
an mRNA. In some embodiments, the mRNA can be a polycistronic mRNA
comprising a coding sequence for at least one engineered nuclease
described herein and a coding sequence for at least one additional
protein (e.g., a second nuclease). In particular embodiments, a
polycistronic mRNA can encode two or more engineered nucleases
described herein that target different recognition sequences within
the same gene (e.g., the T cell receptor alpha constant region
gene). In other embodiments, a polycistronic mRNA can encode an
engineered nuclease described herein and a second nuclease that
recognizes and cleaves a different recognition sequence within the
same gene (e.g., the T cell receptor alpha constant region gene)
or, alternatively, recognizes and cleaves a different recognition
sequence within another gene of interest in the genome. In such
embodiments, genetically-modified cells produced using such
polycistronic mRNA can have multiple genes knocked out
simultaneously. In additional embodiments, a polycistronic mRNA can
encode at least one engineered nuclease described herein and one
additional protein that is beneficial to the cell, improves
efficiency of insertion of an exogenous sequence of interest into a
cleavage site, and/or is beneficial in the treatment of a
disease.
[0040] In another embodiment of the method, at least the second
nucleic acid sequence is introduced into the cell by contacting the
cell with a viral vector comprising the second nucleic acid
sequence. In some embodiments, both the first nucleic acid sequence
and the second nucleic acid sequence are introduced by contacting
the cell with a single viral vector comprising both the first
nucleic acid sequence and the second nucleic acid sequence.
Alternatively, the cell can be contacted with a first viral vector
comprising the first nucleic acid sequence and a second viral
vector comprising the second nucleic acid sequence.
[0041] In such an embodiment of the method, wherein the second
nucleic acid sequence is introduced by a viral vector, the second
nucleic acid can further comprise a second promoter sequence
positioned 5' upstream of the 5' homology arm or, alternatively,
positioned 3' downstream of the 3' homology arm. In embodiments
where the second promoter is positioned 3' downstream of the 3'
homology arm, the promoter may be inverted.
[0042] In another particular embodiment of the method, at least the
second nucleic acid sequence is introduced into the cell by
contacting the cell with a recombinant adeno-associated virus (AAV)
vector comprising the second nucleic acid sequence. In some
embodiments, both the first nucleic acid sequence and the second
nucleic acid sequence are introduced by contacting the cell with a
single recombinant AAV comprising both the first nucleic acid
sequence and the second nucleic acid sequence. Alternatively, the
cell can be contacted with a first recombinant AAV comprising the
first nucleic acid sequence and a second recombinant AAV comprising
the second nucleic acid sequence.
[0043] In such an embodiment of the method, wherein the second

[0086] FIG. 8. Schematic of reporter assay in CHO cells for
evaluating recombinant meganucleases targeting recognition
sequences found in the T cell receptor alpha constant region (SEQ
ID NO:1). For the recombinant meganucleases described herein, a CHO
cell line was produced in which a reporter cassette was integrated
stably into the genome of the cell. The reporter cassette
comprised, in 5' to 3' order: an SV40 Early Promoter; the 5'2/3 of
the GFP gene; the recognition sequence for an engineered
meganuclease of the invention (e.g., the TRC 1-2 recognition
sequence, the TRC 3-4 recognition sequence, or the TRC 7-8
recognition sequence); the recognition sequence for the CHO-23/24
meganuclease (WO/2012/167192); and the 3'2/3 of the GFP gene. Cells
stably transfected with this cassette did not express GFP in the
absence of a DNA break-inducing agent. Meganucleases were
introduced by transduction of plasmid DNA or mRNA encoding each
meganuclease. When a DNA break was induced at either of the
meganuclease recognition sequences, the duplicated regions of the
GFP gene recombined with one another to produce a functional GFP
gene. The percentage of GFP-expressing cells could then be
determined by flow cytometry as an indirect measure of the
frequency of genome cleavage by the meganucleases.

provide the percentage of GFP-expressing cells observed in each
assay, which indicates the efficacy of each meganuclease for
cleaving a TRC target recognition sequence or the CHO-23/24
recognition sequence. A negative control (RHO 1-2 bs) was further
included in each assay. A)-C) Meganucleases targeting the TRC 1-2

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
1.1 References and Definitions
[0249] The patent and scientific literature referred to herein
establishes knowledge that is available to those of skill in the
art. The issued US patents, allowed applications, published foreign
applications, and references, including GenBank database sequences,
which are cited herein are hereby incorporated by reference to the
same extent as if each was specifically and individually indicated
to be incorporated by reference.
[0250] The present invention can be embodied in different forms and
should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth
herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this
disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the
scope of the invention to those skilled in the art. For example,
features illustrated with respect to one embodiment can be
incorporated into other embodiments, and features illustrated with
respect to a particular embodiment can be deleted from that
embodiment. In addition, numerous variations and additions to the
embodiments suggested herein will be apparent to those skilled in
the art in light of the instant disclosure, which do not depart
from the instant invention.
[0251] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms
used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of
ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. The
terminology used in the description of the invention herein is for
the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not
intended to be limiting of the invention.
[0252] All publications, patent applications, patents, and other
references mentioned herein are incorporated by reference herein in
their entirety.
[0253] As used herein, "a," "an," or "the" can mean one or more
than one. For example, "a" cell can mean a single cell or a
multiplicity of cells.
[0254] As used herein, unless specifically indicated otherwise, the
word "or" is used in the inclusive sense of "and/or" and not the
exclusive sense of "either/or."
[0255] As used herein, the term "meganuclease" refers to an
endonuclease that binds double-stranded DNA at a recognition
sequence that is greater than 12 base pairs. Preferably, the
recognition sequence for a meganuclease of the invention is 22 base
pairs. A meganuclease can be an endonuclease that is derived from
I-CreI, and can refer to an engineered variant of I-CreI that has
been modified relative to natural I-CreI with respect to, for
example, DNA-binding specificity, DNA cleavage activity,
DNA-binding affinity, or dimerization properties. Methods for
producing such modified variants of I-CreI are known in the art
(e.g., WO 2007/047859). A meganuclease as used herein binds to
double-stranded DNA as a heterodimer or as a "single-chain
meganuclease" in which a pair of DNA-binding domains are joined
into a single polypeptide using a peptide linker. The term "homing
endonuclease" is synonymous with the term "meganuclease."
Meganucleases of the invention are substantially non-toxic when
expressed in cells, particularly in human T cells, such that cells
can be transfected and maintained at 37.degree. C. without
observing deleterious effects on cell viability or significant
reductions in meganuclease cleavage activity when measured using
the methods described herein.
[0256] As used herein, the term "single-chain meganuclease" refers
to a polypeptide comprising a pair of nuclease subunits joined by a
linker. A single-chain meganuclease has the organization:
N-terminal subunit--Linker--C-terminal subunit. The two
meganuclease subunits will generally be non-identical in amino acid
sequence and will recognize non-identical DNA sequences. Thus,
single-chain meganucleases typically cleave pseudo-palindromic or
non-palindromic recognition sequences. A single-chain meganuclease
may be referred to as a "single-chain heterodimer" or "single-chain
heterodimeric meganuclease" although it is not, in fact, dimeric.
For clarity, unless otherwise specified, the term "meganuclease"
can refer to a dimeric or single-chain meganuclease.
[0257] As used herein, the term "linker" refers to an exogenous
peptide sequence used to join two meganuclease subunits into a
single polypeptide. A linker may have a sequence that is found in
natural proteins, or may be an artificial sequence that is not
found in any natural protein. A linker may be flexible and lacking
in secondary structure or may have a propensity to form a specific
three-dimensional structure under physiological conditions. A
linker can include, without limitation, those encompassed by U.S.
Pat. No. 8,445,251. In some embodiments, a linker may have an amino
acid sequence comprising residues 154-195 of any one of SEQ ID
NOs:8-32.
[0258] As used herein, the term "TALEN" refers to an endonuclease
comprising a DNA-binding domain comprising 16-22 TAL domain repeats
fused to any portion of the FokI nuclease domain.
[0259] As used herein, the term "Compact TALEN" refers to an
endonuclease comprising a DNA-binding domain with 16-22 TAL domain
repeats fused in any orientation to any catalytically active
portion of nuclease domain of the I-TevI homing endonuclease.
[0260] As used herein, the term "CRISPR" refers to a caspase-based
endonuclease comprising a caspase, such as Cas9, and a guide RNA
that directs DNA cleavage of the caspase by hybridizing to a
recognition site in the genomic DNA.
[0261] As used herein, the term "megaTAL" refers to a single-chain
nuclease comprising a transcription activator-like effector (TALE)
DNA binding domain with an engineered, sequence-specific homing
endonuclease.
[0262] As used herein, with respect to a protein, the term
"recombinant" means having an altered amino acid sequence as a
result of the application of genetic engineering techniques to
nucleic acids that encode the protein, and cells or organisms that
express the protein. With respect to a nucleic acid, the term
"recombinant" means having an altered nucleic acid sequence as a
result of the application of genetic engineering techniques.
Genetic engineering techniques include, but are not limited to, PCR
and DNA cloning technologies; transfection, transformation and
other gene transfer technologies; homologous recombination;
site-directed mutagenesis; and gene fusion. In accordance with this
definition, a protein having an amino acid sequence identical to a
naturally-occurring protein, but produced by cloning and expression
in a heterologous host, is not considered recombinant.
[0263] As used herein, the term "wild-type" refers to the most
common naturally occurring allele (i.e., polynucleotide sequence)
in the allele population of the same type of gene, wherein a
polypeptide encoded by the wild-type allele has its original
functions. The term "wild-type" also refers a polypeptide encoded
by a wild-type allele. Wild-type alleles (i.e., polynucleotides)
and polypeptides are distinguishable from mutant or variant alleles
and polypeptides, which comprise one or more mutations and/or
substitutions relative to the wild-type sequence(s). Whereas a
wild-type allele or polypeptide can confer a normal phenotype in an
organism, a mutant or variant allele or polypeptide can, in some
instances, confer an altered phenotype. Wild-type nucleases are
distinguishable from recombinant or non-naturally-occurring
nucleases.
[0264] As used herein with respect to recombinant proteins, the
term "modification" means any insertion, deletion or substitution
of an amino acid residue in the recombinant sequence relative to a
reference sequence (e.g., a wild-type or a native sequence).
[0265] As used herein, the term "recognition sequence" refers to a
DNA sequence that is bound and cleaved by an endonuclease. In the
case of a meganuclease, a recognition sequence comprises a pair of
inverted, 9 basepair "half sites" that are separated by four
basepairs. In the case of a single-chain meganuclease, the
N-terminal domain of the protein contacts a first half-site and the
C-terminal domain of the protein contacts a second half-site.
Cleavage by a meganuclease produces four basepair 3' "overhangs".
"Overhangs", or "sticky ends" are short, single-stranded DNA
segments that can be produced by endonuclease cleavage of a
double-stranded DNA sequence. In the case of meganucleases and
single-chain meganucleases derived from I-CreI, the overhang
comprises bases 10-13 of the 22 basepair recognition sequence. In
the case of a Compact TALEN, the recognition sequence comprises a
first CNNNGN sequence that is recognized by the I-TevI domain,
followed by a non-specific spacer 4-16 basepairs in length,
followed by a second sequence 16-22 bp in length that is recognized
by the TAL-effector domain (this sequence typically has a 5' T
base). Cleavage by a Compact TALEN produces two basepair 3'
overhangs. In the case of a CRISPR, the recognition sequence is the
sequence, typically 16-24 basepairs, to which the guide RNA binds
to direct Cas9 cleavage. Cleavage by a CRISPR produced blunt
ends.
[0266] As used herein, the term "target site" or "target sequence"
refers to a region of the chromosomal DNA of a cell comprising a
recognition sequence for a nuclease.
[0267] As used herein, the term "DNA-binding affinity" or "binding
affinity" means the tendency of a meganuclease to non-covalently
associate with a reference DNA molecule (e.g., a recognition
sequence or an arbitrary sequence). Binding affinity is measured by
a dissociation constant, K.sub.d. As used herein, a nuclease has
"altered" binding affinity if the K.sub.d of the nuclease for a
reference recognition sequence is increased or decreased by a
statistically significant percent change relative to a reference
nuclease.
[0268] As used herein, the term "homologous recombination" or "HR"
refers to the natural, cellular process in which a double-stranded
DNA-break is repaired using a homologous DNA sequence as the repair
template (see, e.g., Cahill et al. (2006), Front. Biosci.
11:1958-1976). The homologous DNA sequence may be an endogenous
chromosomal sequence or an exogenous nucleic acid that was
delivered to the cell.
[0269] As used herein, the term "non-homologous end-joining" or
"NHEJ" refers to the natural, cellular process in which a
double-stranded DNA-break is repaired by the direct joining of two
non-homologous DNA segments (see, e.g., Cahill et al. (2006),
Front. Biosci. 11:1958-1976). DNA repair by non-homologous
end-joining is error-prone and frequently results in the
untemplated addition or deletion of DNA sequences at the site of
repair. In some instances, cleavage at a target recognition
sequence results in NHEJ at a target recognition site.
Nuclease-induced cleavage of a target site in the coding sequence
of a gene followed by DNA repair by NHEJ can introduce mutations
into the coding sequence, such as frameshift mutations, that
disrupt gene function. Thus, engineered nucleases can be used to
effectively knock-out a gene in a population of cells.
[0270] As used herein, a "chimeric antigen receptor" or "CAR"
refers to an engineered receptor that confers or grafts specificity
for an antigen onto an immune effector cell (e.g., a human T cell).
A chimeric antigen receptor typically comprises an extracellular
ligand-binding domain or moiety and an intracellular domain that
comprises one or more stimulatory domains that transduce the
signals necessary for T cell activation. In some embodiments, the
extracellular ligand-binding domain or moiety can be in the form of
single-chain variable fragments (scFvs) derived from a monoclonal
antibody, which provide specificity for a particular epitope or
antigen (e.g., an epitope or antigen preferentially present on the
surface of a cancer cell or other disease-causing cell or
particle). The extracellular ligand-binding domain can be specific
for any antigen or epitope of interest. In a particular embodiment,
the ligand-binding domain is specific for CD19.
[0271] The extracellular domain of a chimeric antigen receptor can
also comprise an autoantigen (see, Payne et al. (2016), Science 353
(6295): 179-184), that can be recognized by autoantigen-specific B
cell receptors on B lymphocytes, thus directing T cells to
specifically target and kill autoreactive B lymphocytes in
antibody-mediated autoimmune diseases. Such CARs can be referred to
as chimeric autoantibody receptors (CAARs), and their use is
encompassed by the invention.
[0272] The scFvs can be attached via a linker sequence. The
intracellular stimulatory domain can include one or more
cytoplasmic signaling domains that transmit an activation signal to
the immune effector cell following antigen binding. Such
cytoplasmic signaling domains can include, without limitation,
CD3-zeta. The intracellular stimulatory domain can also include one
or more intracellular co-stimulatory domains that transmit a
proliferative and/or cell-survival signal after ligand binding.
Such intracellular co-stimulatory domains can include, without
limitation, a CD28 domain, a 4-1BB domain, an OX40 domain, or a
combination thereof. A chimeric antigen receptor can further
include additional structural elements, including a transmembrane
domain that is attached to the extracellular ligand-binding domain
via a hinge or spacer sequence.
[0273] As used herein, an "exogenous T cell receptor" or "exogenous
TCR" refers to a TCR whose sequence is introduced into the genome
of an immune effector cell (e.g., a human T cell) that may or may
not endogenously express the TCR. Expression of an exogenous TCR on
an immune effector cell can confer specificity for a specific
epitope or antigen (e.g., an epitope or antigen preferentially
present on the surface of a cancer cell or other disease-causing
cell or particle). Such exogenous T cell receptors can comprise
alpha and beta chains or, alternatively, may comprise gamma and
delta chains. Exogenous TCRs useful in the invention may have
specificity to any antigen or epitope of interest.
[0274] As used herein, the term "reduced expression" refers to any
reduction in the expression of the endogenous T cell receptor at
the cell surface of a genetically-modified cell when compared to a
control cell. The term reduced can also refer to a reduction in the
percentage of cells in a population of cells that express an
endogenous polypeptide (i.e., an endogenous T cell receptor) at the
cell surface when compared to a population of control cells. Such a
reduction may be up to 5%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%,
90%, 95%, or up to 100%. Accordingly, the term "reduced"
encompasses both a partial knockdown and a complete knockdown of
the endogenous T cell receptor.
[0275] As used herein with respect to both amino acid sequences and
nucleic acid sequences, the terms "percent identity," "sequence
identity," "percentage similarity," "sequence similarity" and the
like refer to a measure of the degree of similarity of two
sequences based upon an alignment of the sequences that maximizes
similarity between aligned amino acid residues or nucleotides, and
that is a function of the number of identical or similar residues
or nucleotides, the number of total residues or nucleotides, and
the presence and length of gaps in the sequence alignment. A
variety of algorithms and computer programs are available for
determining sequence similarity using standard parameters. As used
herein, sequence similarity is measured using the BLASTp program
for amino acid sequences and the BLASTn program for nucleic acid
sequences, both of which are available through the National Center
for Biotechnology Information (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/), and are
described in, for example, Altschul et al. (1990), J. Mol. Biol.
215:403-410; Gish and States (1993), Nature Genet. 3:266-272;
Madden et al. (1996), Meth. Enzymol. 266:131-141; Altschul et al.
(1997), Nucleic Acids Res. 25:33 89-3402); Zhang et al. (2000), J.
Comput. Biol. 7(1-2):203-14. As used herein, percent similarity of
two amino acid sequences is the score based upon the following
parameters for the BLASTp algorithm: word size=3; gap opening
penalty=-11; gap extension penalty=-1; and scoring matrix=BLOSUM62.
As used herein, percent similarity of two nucleic acid sequences is
the score based upon the following parameters for the BLASTn
algorithm: word size=11; gap opening penalty=-5; gap extension
penalty=-2; match reward=1; and mismatch penalty=-3.
[0276] As used herein with respect to modifications of two proteins
or amino acid sequences, the term "corresponding to" is used to
indicate that a specified modification in the first protein is a
substitution of the same amino acid residue as in the modification
in the second protein, and that the amino acid position of the
modification in the first proteins corresponds to or aligns with
the amino acid position of the modification in the second protein
when the two proteins are subjected to standard sequence alignments
(e.g., using the BLASTp program). Thus, the modification of residue
"X" to amino acid "A" in the first protein will correspond to the
modification of residue "Y" to amino acid "A" in the second protein
if residues X and Y correspond to each other in a sequence
alignment, and despite the fact that X and Y may be different
numbers.
[0277] As used herein, the term "recognition half-site,"
"recognition sequence half-site," or simply "half-site" means a
nucleic acid sequence in a double-stranded DNA molecule that is
recognized by a monomer of a homodimeric or heterodimeric
meganuclease, or by one subunit of a single-chain meganuclease.
[0278] As used herein, the term "hypervariable region" refers to a
localized sequence within a meganuclease monomer or subunit that
comprises amino acids with relatively high variability. A
hypervariable region can comprise about 50-60 contiguous residues,
about 53-57 contiguous residues, or preferably about 56 residues.
In some embodiments, the residues of a hypervariable region may
correspond to positions 24-79 or positions 215-270 of any one of
SEQ ID NOs:8-32. A hypervariable region can comprise one or more
residues that contact DNA bases in a recognition sequence and can
be modified to alter base preference of the monomer or subunit. A
hypervariable region can also comprise one or more residues that
bind to the DNA backbone when the meganuclease associates with a
double-stranded DNA recognition sequence. Such residues can be
modified to alter the binding affinity of the meganuclease for the
DNA backbone and the target recognition sequence. In different
embodiments of the invention, a hypervariable region may comprise
between 1-20 residues that exhibit variability and can be modified
to influence base preference and/or DNA-binding affinity. In
particular embodiments, a hypervariable region comprises between
about 15-18 residues that exhibit variability and can be modified
to influence base preference and/or DNA-binding affinity. In some
embodiments, variable residues within a hypervariable region
correspond to one or more of positions 24, 26, 28, 29, 30, 32, 33,
38, 40, 42, 44, 46, 66, 68, 70, 72, 73, 75, and 77 of any one of
SEQ ID NOs:8-32. In other embodiments, variable residues within a
hypervariable region correspond to one or more of positions 215,
217, 219, 221, 223, 224, 229, 231, 233, 235, 237, 248, 257, 259,
261, 263, 264, 266, and 268 of any one of SEQ ID NOs:8-32.
[0279] As used herein, the terms "T cell receptor alpha constant
region gene" and "TCR alpha constant region gene" are used
interchangeably and refer to the human gene identified by NCBI Gen
ID NO. 28755 (SEQ ID NO:1).
[0280] The terms "recombinant DNA construct," "recombinant
construct," "expression cassette," "expression construct,"
"chimeric construct," "construct," and "recombinant DNA fragment"
are used interchangeably herein and are single or double-stranded
polynucleotides. A recombinant construct comprises an artificial
combination of single or double-stranded polynucleotides,
including, without limitation, regulatory and coding sequences that
are not found together in nature. For example, a recombinant DNA
construct may comprise regulatory sequences and coding sequences
that are derived from different sources, or regulatory sequences
and coding sequences derived from the same source and arranged in a
manner different than that found in nature. Such a construct may be
used by itself or may be used in conjunction with a vector.
[0281] As used herein, a "vector" or "recombinant DNA vector" may
be a construct that includes a replication system and sequences
that are capable of transcription and translation of a
polypeptide-encoding sequence in a given host cell. If a vector is
used then the choice of vector is dependent upon the method that
will be used to transform host cells as is well known to those
skilled in the art. Vectors can include, without limitation,
plasmid vectors and recombinant AAV vectors, or any other vector
known in that art suitable for delivering a gene encoding a
meganuclease of the invention to a target cell. The skilled artisan
is well aware of the genetic elements that must be present on the
vector in order to successfully transform, select and propagate
host cells comprising any of the isolated nucleotides or nucleic
acid sequences of the invention.
[0282] As used herein, a "vector" can also refer to a viral vector.
Viral vectors can include, without limitation, retroviral vectors,
lentiviral vectors, adenoviral vectors, and adeno-associated viral
vectors (AAV).
[0283] As used herein, a "polycistronic" mRNA refers to a single
messenger RNA that comprises two or more coding sequences (i.e.,
cistrons) and encodes more than one protein. A polycistronic mRNA
can comprise any element known in the art to allow for the
translation of two or more genes from the same mRNA molecule
including, but not limited to, an IRES element, a T2A element, a
P2A element, an E2A element, and an F2A element.
[0284] As used herein, a "human T cell" or "T cell" refers to a T
cell isolated from a human donor. Human T cells, and cells derived
therefrom, include isolated T cells that have not been passaged in
culture, T cells that have been passaged and maintained under cell
culture conditions without immortalization, and T cells that have
been immortalized and can be maintained under cell culture
conditions indefinitely.
[0285] As used herein, a "control" or "control cell" refers to a
cell that provides a reference point for measuring changes in
genotype or phenotype of a genetically-modified cell. A control
cell may comprise, for example: (a) a wild-type cell, i.e., of the
same genotype as the starting material for the genetic alteration
that resulted in the genetically-modified cell; (b) a cell of the
same genotype as the genetically-modified cell but that has been
transformed with a null construct (i.e., with a construct that has
no known effect on the trait of interest); or, (c) a cell
genetically identical to the genetically-modified cell but that is
not exposed to conditions or stimuli or further genetic
modifications that would induce expression of altered genotype or
phenotype.
[0286] As used herein, the recitation of a numerical range for a
variable is intended to convey that the invention may be practiced
with the variable equal to any of the values within that range.
Thus, for a variable that is inherently discrete, the variable can
be equal to any integer value within the numerical range, including
the end-points of the range. Similarly, for a variable that is
inherently continuous, the variable can be equal to any real value
within the numerical range, including the end-points of the range.
As an example, and without limitation, a variable that is described
as having values between 0 and 2 can take the values 0, 1 or 2 if
the variable is inherently discrete, and can take the values 0.0,
0.1, 0.01, 0.001, or any other real values .gtoreq.0 and .ltoreq.2
if the variable is inherently continuous.
2.1 Principle of the Invention
[0287] The present invention is based, in part, on the discovery
that engineered nucleases can be utilized to recognize and cleave
recognition sequences found within the human TCR alpha constant
region gene (SEQ ID NO:1), such that NHEJ at the cleavage site
disrupts expression of the TCR alpha chain subunit and, ultimately,
expression of the T cell receptor at the cell surface. Moreover,
according to the invention, an exogenous polynucleotide sequence is
inserted into the TCR alpha constant region gene at the nuclease
cleavage site, for example by homologous recombination, such that a
sequence of interest is concurrently expressed in the cell. Such
exogenous sequences can encode, for example, a chimeric antigen
receptor, an exogenous TCR receptor, or any other polypeptide of
interest.
[0288] Thus, the present invention allows for both the knockout of
the endogenous T cell receptor and the expression of an exogenous
nucleic acid sequence (e.g., a chimeric antigen receptor or
exogenous TCR) by targeting a single recognition site with a single
engineered nuclease. In particular embodiments where a sequence
encoding a chimeric antigen receptor is inserted into the TCR alpha
constant region gene, the invention provides a simplified method
for producing an allogeneic T cell that expresses an
antigen-specific CAR and has reduced expression, or complete
knockout, of the endogenous TCR. Such cells can exhibit reduced or
no induction of graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) when administered
to an allogeneic subject.
2.2 Nucleases for Recognizing and Cleaving Recognition Sequences
Within the T Cell Receptor Alpha Constant Region Gene
[0289] It is known in the art that it is possible to use a
site-specific nuclease to make a DNA break in the genome of a
living cell, and that such a DNA break can result in permanent
modification of the genome via mutagenic NHEJ repair or via
homologous recombination with a transgenic DNA sequence. NHEJ can
produce mutagenesis at the cleavage site, resulting in inactivation
of the allele. NHEJ-associated mutagenesis may inactivate an allele
via generation of early stop codons, frameshift mutations producing
aberrant non-functional proteins, or could trigger mechanisms such
as nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. The use of nucleases to induce
mutagenesis via NHEJ can be used to target a specific mutation or a
sequence present in a wild-type allele. The use of nucleases to
induce a double-strand break in a target locus is known to
stimulate homologous recombination, particularly of transgenic DNA
sequences flanked by sequences that are homologous to the genomic
target. In this manner, exogenous nucleic acid sequences can be
inserted into a target locus. Such exogenous nucleic acids can
encode, for example, a chimeric antigen receptor, an exogenous TCR,
or any sequence or polypeptide of interest.
[0290] In different embodiments, a variety of different types of
nuclease are useful for practicing the invention. In one
embodiment, the invention can be practiced using recombinant
meganucleases. In another embodiment, the invention can be
practiced using a CRISPR nuclease or CRISPR Nickase. Methods for
making CRISPRs and CRISPR Nickases that recognize pre-determined
DNA sites are known in the art, for example Ran, et al. (2013) Nat
Protoc. 8:2281-308. In another embodiment, the invention can be
practiced using TALENs or Compact TALENs. Methods for making TALE
domains that bind to pre-determined DNA sites are known in the art,
for example Reyon et al. (2012) Nat Biotechnol. 30:460-5. In a
further embodiment, the invention can be practiced using
megaTALs.
[0291] In preferred embodiments, the nucleases used to practice the
invention are single-chain meganucleases. A single-chain
meganuclease comprises an N-terminal subunit and a C-terminal
subunit joined by a linker peptide. Each of the two domains
recognizes half of the recognition sequence (i.e., a recognition
half-site) and the site of DNA cleavage is at the middle of the
recognition sequence near the interface of the two subunits. DNA
strand breaks are offset by four base pairs such that DNA cleavage
by a meganuclease generates a pair of four base pair, 3'
single-strand overhangs.
[0292] In some examples, recombinant meganucleases of the invention
have been engineered to recognize and cleave the TRC 1-2
recognition sequence (SEQ ID NO:3). Such recombinant meganucleases
are collectively referred to herein as "TRC 1-2 meganucleases."
Exemplary TRC 1-2 meganucleases are provided in SEQ ID
NOs:8-27.
[0293] In additional examples, recombinant meganucleases of the
invention have been engineered to recognize and cleave the TRC 3-4
recognition sequence (SEQ ID NO:4). Such recombinant meganucleases
are collectively referred to herein as "TRC 3-4 meganucleases."
Exemplary TRC 3-4 meganucleases are provided in SEQ ID NOs:28 and
29.
[0294] In further examples, recombinant meganucleases of the
invention have been engineered to recognize and cleave the TRC 7-8
recognition sequence (SEQ ID NO:5). Such recombinant meganucleases
are collectively referred to herein as "TRC 7-8 meganucleases."
Exemplary TRC 7-8 meganucleases are provided in SEQ ID
NOs:30-32.
[0295] Recombinant meganucleases of the invention comprise a first
subunit, comprising a first hypervariable (HVR1) region, and a
second subunit, comprising a second hypervariable (HVR2) region.
Further, the first subunit binds to a first recognition half-site
in the recognition sequence (e.g., the TRC1, TRC3, or TRC7
half-site), and the second subunit binds to a second recognition
half-site in the recognition sequence (e.g., the TRC2, TRC4, or
TRC8 half-site). In embodiments where the recombinant meganuclease
is a single-chain meganuclease, the first and second subunits can
be oriented such that the first subunit, which comprises the HVR1
region and binds the first half-site, is positioned as the
N-terminal subunit, and the second subunit, which comprises the
HVR2 region and binds the second half-site, is positioned as the
C-terminal subunit. In alternative embodiments, the first and
second subunits can be oriented such that the first subunit, which
comprises the HVR1 region and binds the first half-site, is
positioned as the C-terminal subunit, and the second subunit, which
comprises the HVR2 region and binds the second half-site, is
positioned as the N-terminal subunit. Exemplary TRC 1-2
meganucleases of the invention are provided in Table 1. Exemplary
TRC 3-4 meganucleases of the invention are provided in Table 2.
Exemplary TRC 7-8 meganucleases of the invention are provided in
Table 3.

2.3 Methods for Producing Genetically-Modified Cells
[0296] The invention provides methods for producing
genetically-modified cells using engineered nucleases that
recognize and cleave recognition sequences found within the human
TCR alpha constant region gene (SEQ ID NO:1). Cleavage at such
recognition sequences can allow for NHEJ at the cleavage site and
disrupted expression of the human T cell receptor alpha chain
subunit, leading to reduced expression and/or function of the T
cell receptor at the cell surface. Additionally, cleavage at such
recognition sequences can further allow for homologous
recombination of exogenous nucleic acid sequences directly into the
TCR alpha constant region gene.
[0297] Engineered nucleases of the invention can be delivered into
a cell in the form of protein or, preferably, as a nucleic acid
encoding the engineered nuclease. Such nucleic acid can be DNA
(e.g., circular or linearized plasmid DNA or PCR products) or RNA.
For embodiments in which the engineered nuclease coding sequence is
delivered in DNA form, it should be operably linked to a promoter
to facilitate transcription of the meganuclease gene. Mammalian
promoters suitable for the invention include constitutive promoters
such as the cytomegalovirus early (CMV) promoter (Thomsen et al.
(1984), Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 81(3):659-63) or the SV40 early
promoter (Benoist and Chambon (1981), Nature. 290(5804):304-10) as
well as inducible promoters such as the tetracycline-inducible
promoter (Dingermann et al. (1992), Mol Cell Biol.
12(9):4038-45).
[0298] In some embodiments, mRNA encoding the engineered nuclease
is delivered to the cell because this reduces the likelihood that
the gene encoding the engineered nuclease will integrate into the
genome of the cell. Such mRNA encoding an engineered nuclease can
be produced using methods known in the art such as in vitro
transcription. In some embodiments, the mRNA is capped using
7-methyl-guanosine. In some embodiments, the mRNA may be
polyadenylated.
[0299] In particular embodiments, an mRNA encoding an engineered
nuclease of the invention can be a polycistronic mRNA encoding two
or more nucleases that are simultaneously expressed in the cell. A
polycistronic mRNA can encode two or more nucleases of the
invention that target different recognition sequences in the same
target gene. Alternatively, a polycistronic mRNA can encode at
least one nuclease described herein and at least one additional
nuclease targeting a separate recognition sequence positioned in
the same gene, or targeting a second recognition sequence
positioned in a second gene such that cleavage sites are produced
in both genes. A polycistronic mRNA can comprise any element known
in the art to allow for the translation of two or more genes (i.e.,
cistrons) from the same mRNA molecule including, but not limited
to, an IRES element, a T2A element, a P2A element, an E2A element,
and an F2A element.
[0300] Purified nuclease proteins can be delivered into cells to
cleave genomic DNA, which allows for homologous recombination or
non-homologous end-joining at the cleavage site with a sequence of
interest, by a variety of different mechanisms known in the
art.
[0301] In some embodiments, engineered nuclease proteins, or
DNA/mRNA encoding engineered nucleases, are coupled to a cell
penetrating peptide or targeting ligand to facilitate cellular
uptake. Examples of cell penetrating peptides known in the art
include poly-arginine (Jearawiriyapaisarn, et al. (2008) Mol Ther.
16:1624-9), TAT peptide from the HIV virus (Hudecz et al. (2005),
Med. Res. Rev. 25: 679-736), MPG (Simeoni, et al. (2003) Nucleic
Acids Res. 31:2717-2724), Pep-1 (Deshayes et al. (2004)
Biochemistry 43: 7698-7706, and HSV-1 VP-22 (Deshayes et al. (2005)
Cell Mol Life Sci. 62:1839-49. In an alternative embodiment,
engineered nucleases, or DNA/mRNA encoding engineered nucleases,
are coupled covalently or non-covalently to an antibody that
recognizes a specific cell-surface receptor expressed on target
cells such that the nuclease protein/DNA/mRNA binds to and is
internalized by the target cells. Alternatively, engineered
nuclease protein/DNA/mRNA can be coupled covalently or
non-covalently to the natural ligand (or a portion of the natural
ligand) for such a cell-surface receptor. (McCall, et al. (2014)
Tissue Barriers. 2(4):e944449; Dinda, et al. (2013) Curr Pharm
Biotechnol. 14:1264-74; Kang, et al. (2014) Curr Pharm Biotechnol.
15(3):220-30; Qian et al. (2014) Expert Opin Drug Metab Toxicol.
10(11):1491-508).
[0302] In some embodiments, engineered nuclease proteins, or
DNA/mRNA encoding engineered nucleases, are coupled covalently or,
preferably, non-covalently to a nanoparticle or encapsulated within
such a nanoparticle using methods known in the art (Sharma, et al.
(2014) Biomed Res Int. 2014). A nanoparticle is a nanoscale
delivery system whose length scale is <1 .mu.m, preferably
<100 nm. Such nanoparticles may be designed using a core
composed of metal, lipid, polymer, or biological macromolecule, and
multiple copies of the recombinant meganuclease proteins, mRNA, or
DNA can be attached to or encapsulated with the nanoparticle core.
This increases the copy number of the protein/mRNA/DNA that is
delivered to each cell and, so, increases the intracellular
expression of each engineered nuclease to maximize the likelihood
that the target recognition sequences will be cut. The surface of
such nanoparticles may be further modified with polymers or lipids
(e.g., chitosan, cationic polymers, or cationic lipids) to form a
core-shell nanoparticle whose surface confers additional
functionalities to enhance cellular delivery and uptake of the
payload (Jian et al. (2012) Biomaterials. 33(30): 7621-30).
Nanoparticles may additionally be advantageously coupled to
targeting molecules to direct the nanoparticle to the appropriate
cell type and/or increase the likelihood of cellular uptake.
Examples of such targeting molecules include antibodies specific
for cell-surface receptors and the natural ligands (or portions of
the natural ligands) for cell surface receptors.
[0303] In some embodiments, the engineered nucleases or DNA/mRNA
encoding the engineered nucleases, are encapsulated within
liposomes or complexed using cationic lipids (see, e.g.,
Lipofectamine.TM., Life Technologies Corp., Carlsbad, Calif.; Zuris
et al. (2015) Nat Biotechnol. 33: 73-80; Mishra et al. (2011) J
Drug Deliv. 2011:863734). The liposome and lipoplex formulations
can protect the payload from degradation, and facilitate cellular
uptake and delivery efficiency through fusion with and/or
disruption of the cellular membranes of the cells.
[0304] In some embodiments, engineered nuclease proteins, or
DNA/mRNA encoding engineered nucleases, are encapsulated within
polymeric scaffolds (e.g., PLGA) or complexed using cationic
polymers (e.g., PEI, PLL) (Tamboli et al. (2011) Ther Deliv. 2(4):
523-536).
[0305] In some embodiments, engineered nuclease proteins, or
DNA/mRNA encoding engineered nucleases, are combined with
amphiphilic molecules that self-assemble into micelles (Tong et al.
(2007) J Gene Med. 9(11): 956-66). Polymeric micelles may include a
micellar shell formed with a hydrophilic polymer (e.g.,
polyethyleneglycol) that can prevent aggregation, mask charge
interactions, and reduce nonspecific interactions outside of the
cell.
[0306] In some embodiments, engineered nuclease proteins, or
DNA/mRNA encoding engineered nucleases, are formulated into an
emulsion or a nanoemulsion (i.e., having an average particle
diameter of <1 nm) for delivery to the cell. The term "emulsion"
refers to, without limitation, any oil-in-water, water-in-oil,
water-in-oil-in-water, or oil-in-water-in-oil dispersions or
droplets, including lipid structures that can form as a result of
hydrophobic forces that drive apolar residues (e.g., long
hydrocarbon chains) away from water and polar head groups toward
water, when a water immiscible phase is mixed with an aqueous
phase. These other lipid structures include, but are not limited
to, unilamellar, paucilamellar, and multilamellar lipid vesicles,
micelles, and lamellar phases. Emulsions are composed of an aqueous
phase and a lipophilic phase (typically containing an oil and an
organic solvent). Emulsions also frequently contain one or more
surfactants. Nanoemulsion formulations are well known, e.g., as
described in US Patent Application Nos. 2002/0045667 and
2004/0043041, and U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,015,832, 6,506,803, 6,635,676,
and 6,559,189, each of which is incorporated herein by reference in
its entirety.
[0307] In some embodiments, engineered nuclease proteins, or
DNA/mRNA encoding engineered nucleases, are covalently attached to,
or non-covalently associated with, multifunctional polymer
conjugates, DNA dendrimers, and polymeric dendrimers (Mastorakos et
al. (2015) Nanoscale. 7(9): 3845-56; Cheng et al. (2008) J Pharm
Sci. 97(1): 123-43). The dendrimer generation can control the
payload capacity and size, and can provide a high payload capacity.
Moreover, display of multiple surface groups can be leveraged to
improve stability and reduce nonspecific interactions.
[0308] In some embodiments, genes encoding an engineered nuclease
are introduced into a cell using a viral vector. Such vectors are
known in the art and include lentiviral vectors, adenoviral
vectors, and adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors (reviewed in
Vannucci, et al. (2013 New Microbiol. 36:1-22). Recombinant AAV
vectors useful in the invention can have any serotype that allows
for transduction of the virus into the cell and insertion of the
nuclease gene into the cell genome. In particular embodiments,
recombinant AAV vectors have a serotype of AAV2 or AAV6.
Recombinant AAV vectors can also be self-complementary such that
they do not require second-strand DNA synthesis in the host cell
(McCarty, et al. (2001) Gene Ther. 8:1248-54).
[0309] If the engineered nuclease genes are delivered in DNA form
(e.g. plasmid) and/or via a viral vector (e.g. AAV) they must be
operably linked to a promoter. In some embodiments, this can be a
viral promoter such as endogenous promoters from the viral vector
(e.g. the LTR of a lentiviral vector) or the well-known
cytomegalovirus- or SV40 virus-early promoters. In a preferred
embodiment, nuclease genes are operably linked to a promoter that
drives gene expression preferentially in the target cell (e.g., a
human T cell).
[0310] The invention further provides for the introduction of an
exogenous nucleic acid into the cell, such that the exogenous
nucleic acid sequence is inserted into the TRC alpha constant
region gene at a nuclease cleavage site. In some embodiments, the
exogenous nucleic acid comprises a 5' homology arm and a 3'
homology arm to promote recombination of the nucleic acid sequence
into the cell genome at the nuclease cleavage site.
[0311] Exogenous nucleic acids of the invention may be introduced
into the cell by any of the means previously discussed. In a
particular embodiment, exogenous nucleic acids are introduced by
way of a viral vector, such as a lentivirus, retrovirus,
adenovirus, or preferably a recombinant AAV vector. Recombinant AAV
vectors useful for introducing an exogenous nucleic acid can have
any serotype that allows for transduction of the virus into the
cell and insertion of the exogenous nucleic acid sequence into the
cell genome. In particular embodiments, the recombinant AAV vectors
have a serotype of AAV2 or AAV6. The recombinant AAV vectors can
also be self-complementary such that they do not require
second-strand DNA synthesis in the host cell.
[0312] In another particular embodiment, an exogenous nucleic acid
can be introduced into the cell using a single-stranded DNA
template. The single-stranded DNA can comprise the exogenous
nucleic acid and, in preferred embodiments, can comprise 5' and 3'
homology arms to promote insertion of the nucleic acid sequence
into the nuclease cleavage site by homologous recombination. The
single-stranded DNA can further comprise a 5' AAV inverted terminal
repeat (ITR) sequence 5' upstream of the 5' homology arm, and a 3'
AAV ITR sequence 3' downstream of the 3' homology arm.
[0313] In another particular embodiment, genes encoding an
endonuclease of the invention and/or an exogenous nucleic acid
sequence of the invention can be introduced into the cell by
transfection with a linearized DNA template. In some examples, a
plasmid DNA encoding an endonuclease and/or an exogenous nucleic
acid sequence can be digested by one or more restriction enzymes
such that the circular plasmid DNA is linearized prior to
transfection into the cell.
[0314] When delivered to a cell, an exogenous nucleic acid of the
invention can be operably linked to any promoter suitable for
expression of the encoded polypeptide in the cell, including those
mammalian promoters and inducible promoters previously discussed.
An exogenous nucleic acid of the invention can also be operably
linked to a synthetic promoter. Synthetic promoters can include,
without limitation, the JeT promoter (WO 2002/012514).
[0315] In examples where the genetically-modified cells of the
invention are human T cells, or cells derived therefrom, such cells
may require activation prior to introduction of a meganuclease
and/or an exogenous nucleic acid sequence. For example, T cells can
be contacted with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 antibodies that are
soluble or conjugated to a support (i.e., beads) for a period of
time sufficient to activate the cells.
[0316] Genetically-modified cells of the invention can be further
modified to express one or more inducible suicide genes, the
induction of which provokes cell death and allows for selective
destruction of the cells in vitro or in vivo. In some examples, a
suicide gene can encode a cytotoxic polypeptide, a polypeptide that
has the ability to convert a non-toxic pro-drug into a cytotoxic
drug, and/or a polypeptide that activates a cytotoxic gene pathway
within the cell. That is, a suicide gene is a nucleic acid that
encodes a product that causes cell death by itself or in the
presence of other compounds. A representative example of such a
suicide gene is one that encodes thymidine kinase of herpes simplex
virus. Additional examples are genes that encode thymidine kinase
of varicella zoster virus and the bacterial gene cytosine deaminase
that can convert 5-fluorocytosine to the highly toxic compound
5-fluorouracil. Suicide genes also include as non-limiting examples
genes that encode caspase-9, caspase-8, or cytosine deaminase. In
some examples, caspase-9 can be activated using a specific chemical
inducer of dimerization (CID). A suicide gene can also encode a
polypeptide that is expressed at the surface of the cell that makes
the cells sensitive to therapeutic and/or cytotoxic monoclonal
antibodies. In further examples, a suicide gene can encode
recombinant antigenic polypeptide comprising an antigenic motif
recognized by the anti-CD20 mAb Rituximab and an epitope that
allows for selection of cells expressing the suicide gene. See, for
example, the RQR8 polypeptide described in WO2013153391, which
comprises two Rituximab-binding epitopes and a QBEnd10-binding
epitope. For such a gene, Rituximab can be administered to a
subject to induce cell depletion when needed.
2.4 Pharmaceutical Compositions
[0317] In some embodiments, the invention provides a pharmaceutical
composition comprising a genetically-modified cell of the
invention, or a population of genetically-modified cells of the
invention, and a pharmaceutical carrier. Such pharmaceutical
compositions can be prepared in accordance with known techniques.
See, e.g., Remington, The Science And Practice of Pharmacy
(21.sup.st ed. 2005). In the manufacture of a pharmaceutical
formulation according to the invention, cells are typically admixed
with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and the resulting
composition is administered to a subject. The carrier must, of
course, be acceptable in the sense of being compatible with any
other ingredients in the formulation and must not be deleterious to
the subject. In some embodiments, pharmaceutical compositions of
the invention can further comprise one or more additional agents
useful in the treatment of a disease in the subject. In additional
embodiments, where the genetically-modified cell is a
genetically-modified human T cell (or a cell derived therefrom),
pharmaceutical compositions of the invention can further include
biological molecules, such as cytokines (e.g., IL-2, IL-7, IL-15,
and/or IL-21), which promote in vivo cell proliferation and
engraftment. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising
genetically-modified cells of the invention can be administered in
the same composition as an additional agent or biological molecule
or, alternatively, can be co-administered in separate
compositions.
[0318] Pharmaceutical compositions of the invention can be useful
for treating any disease state that can be targeted by T cell
adoptive immunotherapy. In a particular embodiment, the
pharmaceutical compositions of the invention are useful in the
treatment of cancer. Such cancers can include, without limitation,
carcinoma, lymphoma, sarcoma, blastomas, leukemia, cancers of
B-cell origin, breast cancer, gastric cancer, neuroblastoma,
osteosarcoma, lung cancer, melanoma, prostate cancer, colon cancer,
renal cell carcinoma, ovarian cancer, rhabdomyo sarcoma, leukemia,
and Hodgkin's lymphoma. In certain embodiments, cancers of B-cell
origin include, without limitation, B-lineage acute lymphoblastic
leukemia, B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and B-cell
non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
2.5 Methods for Producing Recombinant AAV Vectors
[0319] In some embodiments, the invention provides recombinant AAV
vectors for use in the methods of the invention. Recombinant AAV
vectors are typically produced in mammalian cell lines such as
HEK-293. Because the viral cap and rep genes are removed from the
vector to prevent its self-replication to make room for the
therapeutic gene(s) to be delivered (e.g. the endonuclease gene),
it is necessary to provide these in trans in the packaging cell
line. In addition, it is necessary to provide the "helper" (e.g.
adenoviral) components necessary to support replication (Cots D,
Bosch A, Chillon M (2013) Curr. Gene Ther. 13(5): 370-81).
Frequently, recombinant AAV vectors are produced using a
triple-transfection in which a cell line is transfected with a
first plasmid encoding the "helper" components, a second plasmid
comprising the cap and rep genes, and a third plasmid comprising
the viral ITRs containing the intervening DNA sequence to be
packaged into the virus. Viral particles comprising a genome (ITRs
and intervening gene(s) of interest) encased in a capsid are then
isolated from cells by freeze-thaw cycles, sonication, detergent,
or other means known in the art. Particles are then purified using
cesium-chloride density gradient centrifugation or affinity
chromatography and subsequently delivered to the gene(s) of
interest to cells, tissues, or an organism such as a human
patient.
[0320] Because recombinant AAV particles are typically produced
(manufactured) in cells, precautions must be taken in practicing
the current invention to ensure that the site-specific endonuclease
is NOT expressed in the packaging cells. Because the viral genomes
of the invention comprise a recognition sequence for the
endonuclease, any endonuclease expressed in the packaging cell line
will be capable of cleaving the viral genome before it can be
packaged into viral particles. This will result in reduced
packaging efficiency and/or the packaging of fragmented genomes.
Several approaches can be used to prevent endonuclease expression
in the packaging cells, including: [0321] 1. The endonuclease can
be placed under the control of a tissue-specific promoter that is
not active in the packaging cells. For example, if a viral vector
is developed for delivery of (an) endonuclease gene(s) to muscle
tissue, a muscle-specific promoter can be used. Examples of
muscle-specific promoters include C5-12 (Liu, et al. (2004) Hum
Gene Ther. 15:783-92), the muscle-specific creatine kinase (MCK)
promoter (Yuasa, et al. (2002) Gene Ther. 9:1576-88), or the smooth
muscle 22 (SM22) promoter (Haase, et al. (2013) BMC Biotechnol.
13:49-54). Examples of CNS (neuron)-specific promoters include the
NSE, Synapsin, and MeCP2 promoters (Lentz, et al. (2012) Neurobiol
Dis. 48:179-88). Examples of liver-specific promoters include
albumin promoters (such as Palb), human .alpha.1-antitrypsin (such
as Pa1AT), and hemopexin (such as Phpx) (Kramer, M G et al., (2003)
Mol. Therapy 7:375-85). Examples of eye-specific promoters include
opsin, and corneal epithelium-specific K12 promoters (Martin K R G,
Klein R L, and Quigley H A (2002) Methods (28): 267-75) (Tong Y, et
al., (2007) J Gene Med, 9:956-66). These promoters, or other
tissue-specific promoters known in the art, are not highly-active
in HEK-293 cells and, thus, will not expected to yield significant
levels of endonuclease gene expression in packaging cells when
incorporated into viral vectors of the present invention.
Similarly, the viral vectors of the present invention contemplate
the use of other cell lines with the use of incompatible tissue
specific promoters (i.e., the well-known HeLa cell line (human
epithelial cell) and using the liver-specific hemopexin promoter).
Other examples of tissue specific promoters include: synovial
sarcomas PDZD4 (cerebellum), C6 (liver), ASB5 (muscle), PPP1R12B
(heart), SLC5A12 (kidney), cholesterol regulation APOM (liver),
ADPRHL1 (heart), and monogenic malformation syndromes TP73L
(muscle). (Jacox E, et al., (2010) PLoS One v.5(8):e12274). [0322]
2. Alternatively, the vector can be packaged in cells from a
different species in which the endonuclease is not likely to be
expressed. For example, viral particles can be produced in
microbial, insect, or plant cells using mammalian promoters, such
as the well-known cytomegalovirus- or SV40 virus-early promoters,
which are not active in the non-mammalian packaging cells. In a
preferred embodiment, viral particles are produced in insect cells
using the baculovirus system as described by Gao, et al. (Gao, H.,
et al. (2007) J. Biotechnol. 131(2):138-43). An endonuclease under
the control of a mammalian promoter is unlikely to be expressed in
these cells (Airenne, K J, et al. (2013) Mol. Ther. 21(4):739-49).
Moreover, insect cells utilize different mRNA splicing motifs than
mammalian cells. Thus, it is possible to incorporate a mammalian
intron, such as the human growth hormone (HGH) intron or the SV40
large T antigen intron, into the coding sequence of an
endonuclease. Because these introns are not spliced efficiently
from pre-mRNA transcripts in insect cells, insect cells will not
express a functional endonuclease and will package the full-length
genome. In contrast, mammalian cells to which the resulting
recombinant AAV particles are delivered will properly splice the
pre-mRNA and will express functional endonuclease protein. Haifeng
Chen has reported the use of the HGH and SV40 large T antigen
introns to attenuate expression of the toxic proteins barnase and
diphtheria toxin fragment A in insect packaging cells, enabling the
production of recombinant AAV vectors carrying these toxin genes
(Chen, H (2012) Mol Ther Nucleic Acids. 1(11): e57). [0323] 3. The
endonuclease gene can be operably linked to an inducible promoter
such that a small-molecule inducer is required for endonuclease
expression. Examples of inducible promoters include the Tet-On
system (Clontech; Chen H., et al., (2015) BMC Biotechnol. 15(1):4))
and the RheoSwitch system (Intrexon; Sowa G., et al., (2011) Spine,
36(10): E623-8). Both systems, as well as similar systems known in
the art, rely on ligand-inducible transcription factors (variants
of the Tet Repressor and Ecdysone receptor, respectively) that
activate transcription in response to a small-molecule activator
(Doxycycline or Ecdysone, respectively). Practicing the current
invention using such ligand-inducible transcription activators
includes: 1) placing the endonuclease gene under the control of a
promoter that responds to the corresponding transcription factor,
the endonuclease gene having (a) binding site(s) for the
transcription factor; and 2) including the gene encoding the
transcription factor in the packaged viral genome The latter step
is necessary because the endonuclease will not be expressed in the
target cells or tissues following recombinant AAV delivery if the
transcription activator is not also provided to the same cells. The
transcription activator then induces endonuclease gene expression
only in cells or tissues that are treated with the cognate
small-molecule activator. This approach is advantageous because it
enables endonuclease gene expression to be regulated in a
spatio-temporal manner by selecting when and to which tissues the
small-molecule inducer is delivered. However, the requirement to
include the inducer in the viral genome, which has significantly
limited carrying capacity, creates a drawback to this approach.
[0324] 4. In another preferred embodiment, recombinant AAV
particles are produced in a mammalian cell line that expresses a
transcription repressor that prevents expression of the
endonuclease. Transcription repressors are known in the art and
include the Tet-Repressor, the Lac-Repressor, the Cro repressor,
and the Lambda-repressor. Many nuclear hormone receptors such as
the ecdysone receptor also act as transcription repressors in the
absence of their cognate hormone ligand. To practice the current
invention, packaging cells are transfected/transduced with a vector
encoding a transcription repressor and the endonuclease gene in the
viral genome (packaging vector) is operably linked to a promoter
that is modified to comprise binding sites for the repressor such
that the repressor silences the promoter. The gene encoding the
transcription repressor can be placed in a variety of positions. It
can be encoded on a separate vector; it can be incorporated into
the packaging vector outside of the ITR sequences; it can be
incorporated into the cap/rep vector or the adenoviral helper
vector; or, most preferably, it can be stably integrated into the
genome of the packaging cell such that it is expressed
constitutively. Methods to modify common mammalian promoters to
incorporate transcription repressor sites are known in the art. For
example, Chang and Roninson modified the strong, constitutive CMV
and RSV promoters to comprise operators for the Lac repressor and
showed that gene expression from the modified promoters was greatly
attenuated in cells expressing the repressor (Chang B D, and
Roninson I B (1996) Gene 183:137-42). The use of a non-human
transcription repressor ensures that transcription of the
endonuclease gene will be repressed only in the packaging cells
expressing the repressor and not in target cells or tissues
transduced with the resulting recombinant AAV vector.
2.6 Engineered Nuclease Variants
[0325] Embodiments of the invention encompass the engineered
nucleases, and particularly the recombinant meganucleases,
described herein, and variants thereof. Further embodiments of the
invention encompass isolated polynucleotides comprising a nucleic
acid sequence encoding the recombinant meganucleases described
herein, and variants of such polynucleotides.
[0326] As used herein, "variants" is intended to mean substantially
similar sequences. A "variant" polypeptide is intended to mean a
polypeptide derived from the "native" polypeptide by deletion or
addition of one or more amino acids at one or more internal sites
in the native protein and/or substitution of one or more amino
acids at one or more sites in the native polypeptide. As used
herein, a "native" polynucleotide or polypeptide comprises a
parental sequence from which variants are derived. Variant
polypeptides encompassed by the embodiments are biologically
active. That is, they continue to possess the desired biological
activity of the native protein; i.e., the ability to recognize and
cleave recognition sequences found in the human T cell receptor
alpha constant region (SEQ ID NO:1), including, for example, the
TRC 1-2 recognition sequence (SEQ ID NO:3), the TRC 3-4 recognition
sequence (SEQ ID NO:4), and the TRC 7-8 recognition sequence (SEQ
ID NO:5). Such variants may result, for example, from human
manipulation. Biologically active variants of a native polypeptide
of the embodiments (e.g., SEQ ID NOs:8-32), or biologically active
variants of the recognition half-site binding subunits described
herein (e.g., SEQ ID NOs:33-82), will have at least about 40%,
about 45%, about 50%, about 55%, about 60%, about 65%, about 70%,
about 75%, about 80%, about 85%, about 90%, about 91%, about 92%,
about 93%, about 94%, about 95%, about 96%, about 97%, about 98%,
or about 99%, sequence identity to the amino acid sequence of the
native polypeptide or native subunit, as determined by sequence
alignment programs and parameters described elsewhere herein. A
biologically active variant of a polypeptide or subunit of the
embodiments may differ from that polypeptide or subunit by as few
as about 1-40 amino acid residues, as few as about 1-20, as few as
about 1-10, as few as about 5, as few as 4, 3, 2, or even 1 amino
acid residue.
[0327] The polypeptides of the embodiments may be altered in
various ways including amino acid substitutions, deletions,
truncations, and insertions. Methods for such manipulations are
generally known in the art. For example, amino acid sequence
variants can be prepared by mutations in the DNA. Methods for
mutagenesis and polynucleotide alterations are well known in the
art. See, for example, Kunkel (1985) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA
82:488-492; Kunkel et al. (1987) Methods in Enzymol. 154:367-382;
U.S. Pat. No. 4,873,192; Walker and Gaastra, eds. (1983) Techniques
in Molecular Biology (MacMillan Publishing Company, New York) and
the references cited therein. Guidance as to appropriate amino acid
substitutions that do not affect biological activity of the protein
of interest may be found in the model of Dayhoff et al. (1978)
Atlas of Protein Sequence and Structure (Natl. Biomed. Res. Found.,
Washington, D.C.), herein incorporated by reference. Conservative
substitutions, such as exchanging one amino acid with another
having similar properties, may be optimal.
[0328] A substantial number of amino acid modifications to the DNA
recognition domain of the wild-type I-CreI meganuclease have
previously been identified (e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 8,021,867) which,
singly or in combination, result in recombinant meganucleases with
specificities altered at individual bases within the DNA
recognition sequence half-site, such that the resulting
rationally-designed meganucleases have half-site specificities
different from the wild-type enzyme. Table 4 provides potential
substitutions that can be made in a recombinant meganuclease
monomer or subunit to enhance specificity based on the base present
at each half-site position (-1 through -9) of a recognition
half-site.

[0329] For polynucleotides, a "variant" comprises a deletion and/or
addition of one or more nucleotides at one or more sites within the
native polynucleotide. One of skill in the art will recognize that
variants of the nucleic acids of the embodiments will be
constructed such that the open reading frame is maintained. For
polynucleotides, conservative variants include those sequences
that, because of the degeneracy of the genetic code, encode the
amino acid sequence of one of the polypeptides of the embodiments.
Variant polynucleotides include synthetically derived
polynucleotides, such as those generated, for example, by using
site-directed mutagenesis but which still encode a recombinant
meganuclease of the embodiments. Generally, variants of a
particular polynucleotide of the embodiments will have at least
about 40%, about 45%, about 50%, about 55%, about 60%, about 65%,
about 70%, about 75%, about 80%, about 85%, about 90%, about 91%,
about 92%, about 93%, about 94%, about 95%, about 96%, about 97%,
about 98%, about 99% or more sequence identity to that particular
polynucleotide as determined by sequence alignment programs and
parameters described elsewhere herein. Variants of a particular
polynucleotide of the embodiments (i.e., the reference
polynucleotide) can also be evaluated by comparison of the percent
sequence identity between the polypeptide encoded by a variant
polynucleotide and the polypeptide encoded by the reference
polynucleotide.
[0330] The deletions, insertions, and substitutions of the protein
sequences encompassed herein are not expected to produce radical
changes in the characteristics of the polypeptide. However, when it
is difficult to predict the exact effect of the substitution,
deletion, or insertion in advance of doing so, one skilled in the
art will appreciate that the effect will be evaluated by screening
the polypeptide for its ability to preferentially recognize and
cleave recognition sequences found within the human T cell receptor
alpha constant region gene (SEQ ID NO:1).
EXAMPLES
[0331] This invention is further illustrated by the following
examples, which should not be construed as limiting. Those skilled
in the art will recognize, or be able to ascertain, using no more
than routine experimentation, numerous equivalents to the specific
substances and procedures described herein. Such equivalents are
intended to be encompassed in the scope of the claims that follow
the examples below.
Example 1
Characterization of Meganucleases That Recognize and Cleave TRC
Recognition Sequences
[0332] 1. Meganucleases that Recognize and Cleave the TRC 1-2
Recognition Sequence
[0333] Recombinant meganucleases (SEQ ID NOs:8-27), collectively
referred to herein as "TRC 1-2 meganucleases," were engineered to
recognize and cleave the TRC 1-2 recognition sequence (SEQ ID
NO:3), which is present in the human T cell receptor alpha constant
region. Each TRC 1-2 recombinant meganuclease comprises an
N-terminal nuclease-localization signal derived from SV40, a first
meganuclease subunit, a linker sequence, and a second meganuclease
subunit. A first subunit in each TRC 1-2 meganuclease binds to the
TRC1 recognition half-site of SEQ ID NO:3, while a second subunit
binds to the TRC2 recognition half-site (see, FIG. 1A).
[0334] As illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3, TRC1-binding subunits and
TRC2-binding subunits each comprise a 56 base pair hypervariable
region, referred to as HVR1 and HVR2, respectively. TRC1-binding
subunits are identical outside of the HVR1 region except at
position 80 or position 271 (comprising a Q or E residue), and are
highly conserved within the HVR1 region. Similarly, TRC2-binding
subunits are also identical outside of the HVR2 region except at
position 80 or position 271 (comprising a Q or E residue), and at
position 139 of meganucleases TRC 1-2x.87 EE, TRC 1-2x.87 QE, TRC
1-2x.87 EQ, TRC 1-2x.87, and TRC 1-2x.163, which comprise an R
residue (shaded grey and underlined) Like the HVR1 region, the HVR2
region is also highly conserved.
[0335] The TRC1-binding regions of SEQ ID NOs:8-27 are illustrated
in FIG. 2 and are provided as SEQ ID NOs:33-52, respectively. Each
of SEQ ID NOs:33-52 share at least 90% sequence identity to SEQ ID
NO:33, which is the TRC1-binding region of the meganuclease TRC
1-2x.87 EE (SEQ ID NO:8). TRC2-binding regions of SEQ ID NOs:8-27
are illustrated in FIG. 3 and are provided as SEQ ID NOs:58-77,
respectively. Each of SEQ ID NOs:58-77 share at least 90% sequence
identity to SEQ ID NO:58, which is the TRC2-binding region of the
meganuclease TRC 1-2x.87 EE (SEQ ID NO:8).
2. Meganucleases that Recognize and Cleave the TRC 3-4 Recognition
Sequence
[0336] Recombinant meganucleases (SEQ ID NOs:28 and 29),
collectively referred to herein as "TRC 3-4 meganucleases," were
engineered to recognize and cleave the TRC 3-4 recognition sequence
(SEQ ID NO:4), which is present in the human T cell receptor alpha
constant region. Each TRC 3-4 recombinant meganuclease comprises an
N-terminal nuclease-localization signal derived from SV40, a first
meganuclease subunit, a linker sequence, and a second meganuclease
subunit. A first subunit in each TRC 3-4 meganuclease binds to the
TRC3 recognition half-site of SEQ ID NO:4, while a second subunit
binds to the TRC4 recognition half-site (see, FIG. 1A).
[0337] As illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5, TRC3-binding subunits and
TRC4-binding subunits each comprise a 56 base pair hypervariable
region, referred to as HVR1 and HVR2, respectively. TRC3-binding
subunits are identical outside of the HVR1 region except at
position 80 or position 271 (comprising a Q or E residue), and are
highly conserved within the HVR1 region. Similarly, TRC4-binding
subunits are also identical outside of the HVR2 region except at
position 80 or position 271 (comprising a Q or E residue), and are
highly conserved within the HVR2 region.
[0338] The TRC3-binding regions of SEQ ID NOs:28 and 29 are
illustrated in FIG. 4 and are provided as SEQ ID NOs:53 and 54,
respectively. SEQ ID NOs:53 and 54 share 96.6% sequence identity.
TRC4-binding regions of SEQ ID NOs:28 and 29 are illustrated in
FIG. 5 and are provided as SEQ ID NOs:78 and 79, respectively. SEQ
ID NOs:78 and 79 also share 96.6% sequence identity.
3. Meganucleases that Recognize and Cleave the TRC 7-8 Recognition
Sequence
[0339] Recombinant meganucleases (SEQ ID NOs:30-32), collectively
referred to herein as "TRC 7-8 meganucleases," were engineered to
recognize and cleave the TRC 7-8 recognition sequence (SEQ ID
NO:5), which is present in the human T cell receptor alpha constant
region. Each TRC 7-8 recombinant meganuclease comprises an
N-terminal nuclease-localization signal derived from SV40, a first
meganuclease subunit, a linker sequence, and a second meganuclease
subunit. A first subunit in each TRC 7-8 meganuclease binds to the
TRC7 recognition half-site of SEQ ID NO:5, while a second subunit
binds to the TRC8 recognition half-site (see, FIG. 1A).
[0340] As illustrated in FIGS. 6 and 7, TRC7-binding subunits and
TRC8-binding subunits each comprise a 56 base pair hypervariable
region, referred to as HVR1 and HVR2, respectively. TRC7-binding
subunits are identical outside of the HVR1 region except at
position 80 or position 271 (comprising a Q or E residue), and are
highly conserved within the HVR1 region. Similarly, TRC8-binding
subunits are also identical outside of the HVR2 region except at
position 80 or position 271 (comprising a Q or E residue), and are
highly conserved within the HVR2 region.
[0341] The TRC7-binding regions of SEQ ID NOs:30-32 are illustrated
in FIG. 6 and are provided as SEQ ID NOs:55-57, respectively. Each
of SEQ ID NOs:55-57 share at least 90% sequence identity to SEQ ID
NO:55, which is the TRC7-binding region of the meganuclease TRC
7-8x.7 (SEQ ID NO:30). TRC8-binding regions of SEQ ID NOs:30-32 are
illustrated in FIG. 7 and are provided as SEQ ID NOs:80-82,
respectively. Each of SEQ ID NOs:80-82 share at least 90% sequence
identity to SEQ ID NO:80, which is the TRC8-binding region of the
meganuclease TRC 7-8x.7 (SEQ ID NO:30).
4. Cleavage of Human T Cell Receptor Alpha Constant Region
Recognition Sequences in a CHO Cell Reporter Assay
[0342] To determine whether TRC 1-2, TRC 3-4, and TRC 7-8
meganucleases could recognize and cleave their respective
recognition sequences (SEQ ID NOs:3, 4, and 5, respectively), each
recombinant meganuclease was evaluated using the CHO cell reporter
assay previously described (see, WO/2012/167192 and FIG. 8). To
perform the assays, CHO cell reporter lines were produced which
carried a non-functional Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) gene
expression cassette integrated into the genome of the cells. The
GFP gene in each cell line was interrupted by a pair of recognition
sequences such that intracellular cleavage of either recognition
sequence by a meganuclease would stimulate a homologous
recombination event resulting in a functional GFP gene.
[0343] In CHO reporter cell lines developed for this study, one
recognition sequence inserted into the GFP gene was the TRC 1-2
recognition sequence (SEQ ID NO:3), the TRC 3-4 recognition
sequence (SEQ ID NO:4), or the TRC 7-8 recognition sequence (SEQ ID
NO:5). The second recognition sequence inserted into the GFP gene
was a CHO-23/24 recognition sequence, which is recognized and
cleaved by a control meganuclease called "CHO-23/24". CHO reporter
cells comprising the TRC 1-2 recognition sequence and the CHO-23/24
recognition sequence are referred to herein as "TRC 1-2 cells." CHO
reporter cells comprising the TRC 3-4 recognition sequence and the
CHO-23/24 recognition sequence are referred to herein as "TRC 3-4
cells." CHO reporter cells comprising the TRC 7-8 recognition
sequence and the CHO-23/24 recognition sequence are referred to
herein as "TRC 7-8 cells."
[0344] CHO reporter cells were transfected with plasmid DNA
encoding their corresponding recombinant meganucleases (e.g., TRC
1-2 cells were transfected with plasmid DNA encoding TRC 1-2
meganucleases) or encoding the CHO-23/34 meganuclease. In each
assay, 4e.sup.5 CHO reporter cells were transfected with 50 ng of
plasmid DNA in a 96-well plate using Lipofectamine 2000
(ThermoFisher) according to the manufacturer's instructions. At 48
hours post-transfection, cells were evaluated by flow cytometry to
determine the percentage of GFP-positive cells compared to an
untransfected negative control (TRC 1-2bs). As shown in FIG. 9, all
TRC 1-2, TRC 3-4, and TRC 7-8 meganucleases were found to produce
GFP-positive cells in cell lines comprising their corresponding
recognition sequence at frequencies significantly exceeding the
negative control.
[0345] The efficacy of the TRC 1-2x.87 QE, TRC 1-2x.87 EQ, and TRC
1-2x.87 EE meganucleases was also determined in a time-dependent
manner. In this study, TRC 1-2 cells (1e.sup.6) were electroporated
with 1e.sup.6 copies of meganuclease mRNA per cell using a BioRad
Gene Pulser Xcell according to the manufacturer's instructions. At
1, 4, 6, 8, and 12 days post-transfection, cells were evaluated by
flow cytometry to determine the percentage of GFP-positive cells.
As shown in FIG. 10, each TRC 1-2 meganuclease exhibited high
efficiency at 2 days post-transfection, with greater than 50%
GFP-positive cells observed. This effect persisted over the 12 day
period, with no evidence of cell toxicity observed.
5. Conclusions
[0346] These studies demonstrated that TRC 1-2 meganucleases, TRC
3-4 meganucleases, and TRC 7-8 meganucleases encompassed by the
invention can efficiently target and cleave their respective
recognition sequences in cells.
Example 2
Cleavage of TRC Recognition Sequences in T Cells and Suppression of
Cell-Surface T Cell Receptor Expression
1. Cleavage of the TRC 1-2 Recognition Sequence in Jurkat Cells
[0347] This study demonstrated that TRC 1-2 meganucleases
encompassed by the invention could cleave the TRC 1-2 recognition
sequence in Jurkat cells (an immortalized human T lymphocyte cell
line). 1e.sup.6 Jurkat cells were electroporated with 8e.sup.6
copies of a given TRC 1-2 meganuclease mRNA per cell using a BioRad
Gene Pulser Xcell according to the manufacturer's instructions. At
72 hours post-transfection, genomic DNA (gDNA) was harvested from
cells and a T7 endonuclease I (T7E) assay was performed to estimate
genetic modification at the endogenous TRC 1-2 recognition sequence
(FIG. 11). In the T7E assay, the TRC 1-2 locus is amplified by PCR
using primers that flank the TRC 1-2 recognition sequence. If there
are indels (random insertions or deletions) within the TRC 1-2
locus, the resulting PCR product will consist of a mix of wild-type
alleles and mutant alleles. The PCR product is denatured and
allowed to slowly reanneal. Slow reannealing allows for the
formation of heteroduplexes consisting of wild-type and mutant
alleles, resulting in mismatched bases and/or bulges. The T7E1
enzyme cleaves at mismatch sites, resulting in cleavage products
that can be visualized by gel electrophoresis. FIG. 11 clearly
demonstrates that thirteen different versions of the TRC 1-2
meganucleases generated positive results in the T7E1 assay,
indicating effective generation of indels at the endogenous TRC 1-2
recognition sequence.
[0348] To further examine the cleavage properties of TRC 1-2
meganucleases, a dose-response experiment was performed in Jurkat
cells. 1e.sup.6 Jurkat cells were electroporated with either 3
.mu.g or 1 .mu.g of a given TRC 1-2 meganuclease mRNA per cell
using a BioRad Gene Pulser Xcell according to the manufacturer's
instructions. At 96-hours post-transfection, gDNA was harvested and
the T7E1 assay was performed as described above. As seen in FIG.
12, fifteen different TRC 1-2 meganucleases showed cleavage at the
endogenous TRC 1-2 recognition site, including three different
versions of the TRC 1-2x.87 meganuclease. TRC 1-2x.87 EE worked
especially well, generating a strong signal in the T7E1 assay with
little to no toxicity in Jurkat cells.
2. Cleavage of TRC 1-2 Recognition Sequence in Human T Cells
[0349] This study demonstrated that TRC 1-2 meganucleases
encompassed by the invention could cleave the TRC 1-2 recognition
sequence in human T cells obtained from a donor. CD3+ T cells were
stimulated with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 antibodies for 3 days, then
electroporated with mRNA encoding the TRC 1-2x.87 EE meganuclease
using the Amaxa 4D-Nucleofector (Lonza) according to the
manufacturer's instructions. At 3 days and 7 days
post-transfection, gDNA was harvested and the T7E1 assay was
performed as described above. FIG. 13A demonstrates that TRC
1-2x.87 EE effectively introduced mutations in the endogenous TRC
1-2 recognition sequence in human T cells, indicating that the
meganuclease recognized and cleaved the TRC 1-2 recognition
sequence. The intensity of cleavage products does not appear to
change between day 3 and day 7 post-transfection, suggesting little
or no toxicity due to the TRC 1-2x.87 EE meganuclease. To determine
whether the mutations at the endogenous TRC 1-2 recognition
sequence were sufficient to eliminate surface expression of the T
cell receptor, cells were analyzed by flow cytometry using an
anti-CD3 antibody. FIG. 13B shows that approximately 50% of
transfected T cells stained negative for CD3, indicating knockout
of the T cell receptor. The CD3 negative population did not change
significantly between day 3 and day 7 post-transfection, further
indicating little or no toxicity associated with the TRC 1-2x.87 EE
meganuclease, or the loss of T cell receptor expression.
[0350] To verify that loss of CD3 expression was due to mutations
in the TRC 1-2 recognition site, gDNA was harvested from
transfected T cells and the TRC 1-2 recognition site locus was
amplified by PCR. PCR products were cloned into the pCR-blunt
vector using the Zero Blunt PCR cloning kit (Thermo Fisher)
according to the manufacturer's instructions. Individual colonies
were picked and mini-prepped plasmids were sequenced. FIG. 14 shows
sequences of several representative deletions that were observed at
the TRC 1-2 recognition sequence. The observed sequences are
typical of deletions resulting from the non-homologous end joining
repair of DNA double-strand breaks generated by endonucleases.
[0351] In addition to TRC 1-2x.87 EE, other TRC 1-2 meganucleases
were able to knockout the T cell receptor in human T cells,
including TRC 1-2x.55, and TRC 1-2x.72, albeit to a lesser extent
than knockout previously observed for TRC 1-2x.87 EE (Tables 5 and
6). TRC 1-2x.72 Q47E carries a mutation in the active site of the
meganuclease (amino acid 47) and serves as a negative control.

3. Conclusions
[0352] These studies demonstrated that TRC 1-2 meganucleases
encompassed by the invention can recognize and cleave the TRC 1-2
recognition sequence in both Jurkat cells (an immortalized T
lymphocyte cell line) and in T cells obtained from a human donor.
Further, these studies demonstrated that NHEJ occurs at the
meganuclease cleavage site, as evidenced by the appearance of
indels. Moreover, TRC 1-2 meganucleases were shown to reduce
cell-surface expression of the T cell receptor on human T cells
obtained from a donor.
Example 3
Recombinant AAV Vectors for Introducing Exogenous Nucleic Acids
into Human T Cells
1. Recombinant AAV Vectors
[0353] In the present study, two recombinant AAV vectors (referred
to as AAV405 and AAV406) were designed to introduce an exogenous
nucleic acid sequence, comprising an EagI restriction site, into
the genome of human T cells at the TRC 1-2 recognition sequence via
homologous recombination. Each recombinant AAV vector was prepared
using a triple-transfection protocol, wherein a cell line is
transfected with a first plasmid encoding "helper" components
(e.g., adenoviral) necessary to support replication, a second
plasmid comprising the cap and rep genes, and a third plasmid
comprising the viral inverted terminal repeats (ITRs) containing
the intervening DNA sequence to be packaged into the virus (e.g.,
the exogenous nucleic acid sequence) (see, Cots D, Bosch A, Chillon
M (2013) Curr. Gene Ther. 13(5): 370-81). FIG. 15 illustrates the
general approach for using recombinant AAV vectors to introduce an
exogenous nucleic acid sequence into the cell genome at the
nuclease cleavage site.
[0354] AAV405 was prepared using the plasmid illustrated in FIG. 16
(SEQ ID NO:107). As shown, the AAV405 plasmid generally comprises
sequences for a 5' ITR, a CMV enhancer and promoter sequence, a 5'
homology arm, a nucleic acid sequence comprising the EagI
restriction site, an SV40 poly(A) signal sequence, a 3' homology
arm, and a 3' ITR. AAV406 was prepared using the plasmid
illustrated in FIG. 17 (SEQ ID NO:108). As shown, the AAV406
plasmid comprises similar sequences to those of AAV405, but lacks
the CMV enhancer and promoter sequences upstream of the 5' homology
arm. The present AAV studies further included the use of an AAV
vector encoding GFP (GFP-AAV), which was incorporated as a positive
control for AAV transduction efficiency.
2. Introducing Exogenous Nucleic Acid Sequences into the TRC 1-2
Recognition Sequence
[0355] To test whether AAV templates would be suitable for homology
directed repair (HDR) following generation of a double-strand break
with TRC 1-2 meganucleases, a series of experiments were performed
using human T cells. In the first experiment, the timing of
electroporation with TRC 1-2 RNA and transduction with recombinant
AAV vectors was determined. Human CD3+ T cells were stimulated with
anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 antibodies for 3 days, then electroporated
with mRNA encoding the TRC 1-2x.87 EE meganuclease (1 .mu.g) using
the Amaxa 4D-Nucleofector (Lonza) according to the manufacturer's
instructions. At either 2, 4, or 8 hours post-transfection, cells
were transduced with GFP-AAV (1e.sup.5 viral genomes per cell).
Cells were analyzed by flow cytometry for GFP expression at 72
hours post-transduction. As shown in FIG. 18, the highest
transduction efficiency was observed when cells were transduced at
2 hours post-transfection (88% GFP-positive cells). Transduction
efficiency decreased significantly as the time between transfection
and transduction increased, with 78% GFP-positive cells at 4 hours
and 65% GFP-positive cells at 8 hours.
[0356] Having determined that efficient viral transduction occurred
when cells were transduced 2 hours post-transfection, the AAV405
and AAV406 vectors were used as HDR templates in human T cells.
CD3+ T cells were stimulated and transfected with 1 .mu.g TRC
1-2x.87 EE mRNA as described above. At 2 hours post-transfection,
cells were either transduced with AAV405 or AAV406 (1e.sup.5 viral
genomes per cell). As transduction-only controls, cells were mock
transfected (with water) and transduced with either AAV405 or
AAV406 (1e.sup.5 viral genomes per cell). For a meganuclease-only
control, cells were transfected with TRC 1-2x.87 EE and then mock
transduced (with water) at 2 hours post-transfection.
[0357] To determine whether the AAV vectors served as HDR
templates, gDNA was harvested from cells and the TRC 1-2 locus was
amplified by PCR using primers that recognized sequences beyond the
region of homology in the AAV vectors. PCR primers outside of the
homology regions only allowed for amplification of the T cell
genome, not from the AAV vectors. PCR products were purified and
digested with EagI. FIG. 19 shows cleavage of the PCR products
amplified from cells that were transfected with TRC 1-2x.87 EE and
transduced with either AAV vector (see arrows), indicating
insertion of the EagI site into the TRC 1-2 recognition sequence.
The PCR products from all of the control cell populations are not
cleaved by EagI, demonstrating that the insertion of the EagI site
requires creation of a DNA double-strand break by a TRC 1-2
meganuclease.
[0358] To further define the insertion of the EagI site into human
T cells, individual products from the bulk PCR product were
examined. Undigested PCR product generated from the above
experiment was cloned into the pCR-blunt vector using the Zero
Blunt PCR cloning kit (Thermo Fisher) according to the
manufacturer's instructions. Colony PCR was performed using M13
forward and reverse primers (pCR blunt contains M13 forward and
reverse priming sites flanking the insert) and a portion of PCR
products from cells transfected with TRC 1-2x.87 EE and either
AAV405 or AAV406 were analyzed by gel electrophoresis (FIGS. 20A
and 21A, respectively). In both cases, there are a mix of
full-length PCR products (approximately 1600 bp), smaller inserts,
and some empty plasmids (approximately 300 bp). In this assay,
bands smaller than full-length but larger than empty plasmids are
often times sequences containing large deletions within the TRC 1-2
recognition sequence. In parallel, another portion of PCR products
were digested with EagI to determine the percent of clones that
contain the EagI recognition site inserted into the TRC 1-2
recognition sequence. FIGS. 20B and 21B show that several PCR
products were cleaved with EagI (e.g., FIG. 20B, second row, 6
lanes from the left), generating the expected fragments of
approximately 700 and 800 bp. These gels allow for the estimation
of EagI insertion to be approximately 25% and 6% for AAV405 and
AAV406, respectively (adjusted for empty vectors).
[0359] To confirm observations from gel electrophoresis of uncut
PCR products and digest with EagI, the remaining portion of each
PCR product was sequenced. FIG. 22A shows sequences of several
representative deletions and insertions that were observed at the
TRC 1-2 recognition sequence. These sequences are typical of
sequences resulting from the non-homologous end joining repair of
DNA double-strand breaks generated by endonucleases. All PCR
products that were cleaved with EagI contained an EagI site
inserted into the TRC 1-2 recognition sequence (FIG. 22B).
3. Enhanced AAV Transduction Efficiency
[0360] In light of the observation that AAV transduction was more
efficient when it was carried out 2 hours post-transfection than
when it was carried out later, an experiment was performed to
optimize the timing of transfection and transduction. Human CD3+ T
cells were stimulated with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 antibodies for 3
days, then electroporated with the TRC 1-2x.87 EE meganuclease (1
.mu.g) using the Amaxa 4D-Nucleofector (Lonza) according to the
manufacturer's instructions. Immediately after transfection or 2
hours post-transfection, cells were transduced with GFP-AAV
(1e.sup.5 viral genomes per cell). Additionally, non-stimulated
cells were transduced with GFP-AAV (1e.sup.5 viral genomes per
cell). At 72 hours post-transduction, cells were analyzed by flow
cytometry for GFP expression. FIG. 23 shows that GFP-AAV
transduction performed 2 hours post-transfection resulted in 90%
GFP-positive cells, but that transduction immediately after
transfection resulted in 98% GFP-positive cells. Resting T cells
appeared refractive to AAV transduction, with approximately 0%
GFP-positive cells. Non-transduced cells also showed approximately
0% GFP-positive cells.
4. Summary
[0361] These studies demonstrate that AAV vectors can be used in
conjunction with recombinant meganucleases to incorporate an
exogenous nucleic acid sequence into a cleavage site in the TCR
alpha constant region via homologous recombination.
Example 4
Recombinant AAV Vectors for Introducing Exogenous Nucleic Acids
Encoding a Chimeric Antigen Receptor in Human T Cells
1. Recombinant AAV Vectors
[0362] In the present study, two recombinant AAV vectors (referred
to as AAV-CAR100 and AAV-CAR763) were designed to introduce an
exogenous nucleic acid sequence, encoding a chimeric antigen
receptor, into the genome of human T cells at the TRC 1-2
recognition sequence via homologous recombination. Each recombinant
AAV vector was prepared using the triple-transfection protocol
described previously.
[0363] AAV-CAR100 (also referred to herein as AAV408) was prepared
using the plasmid illustrated in FIG. 24 (SEQ ID NO:109). As shown,
the AAV-CAR100 (AAV408) is designed for producing a
self-complementary AAV vector, and generally comprises sequences
for a 5' ITR, a 5' homology arm, a nucleic acid sequence encoding
an anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor, an SV40 poly(A) signal
sequence, a 3' homology arm, and a 3' ITR. AAV-CAR763 (also
referred to herein as AAV412) was prepared using the plasmid
illustrated in FIG. 25 (SEQ ID NO:110). As shown, the AAV-CAR763
(AAV412) plasmid generally comprises the same sequences as
AAV-CAR100 (AAV408), but is designed for producing a
single-stranded AAV vector. Because a single-stranded AAV vector
can accommodate a larger payload, the 5' homology arm and the 3'
homology arm are longer in AAV-CAR763 (AAV412) than in AAV-CAR100
(AAV408). The present AAV studies will further include the use of
an AAV vector encoding GFP (GFP-AAV), which will be incorporated as
a positive control for AAV transduction efficiency.
2. Introducing a Chimeric Antigen Receptor Sequence into the TRC
1-2 Recognition Sequence
[0364] Studies will be conducted to determine the efficiency of
using recombinant AAV vectors to insert a chimeric antigen receptor
sequence into the TCR alpha constant region gene while,
simultaneously, knocking out cell-surface expression of the
endogenous TCR receptor.
[0365] To confirm transduction efficiency, human CD3+ T cells will
be obtained and stimulated with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 antibodies
for 3 days, then electroporated with mRNA encoding the TRC 1-2x.87
EE meganuclease (1 .mu.g) using the Amaxa 4D-Nucleofector (Lonza)
according to the manufacturer's instructions. Cells will be
transduced with GFP-AAV (1e.sup.5 viral genomes per cell)
immediately after transfection as described above. Cells will be
analyzed by flow cytometry for GFP expression at 72 hours
post-transduction to determine transduction efficiency.
[0366] AAV-CAR100 (AAV408) and AAV-CAR763 (AAV412) vectors will
then be used as HDR templates in human T cells for the insertion of
the anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor sequence. Human CD3+ T
cells will be stimulated and transfected with 1 .mu.g TRC 1-2x.87
EE mRNA as described above. Cells will then be transduced with
AAV-CAR100 (AAV408) or AAV-CAR763 (AAV412) (1e.sup.5 viral genomes
per cell) either immediately after transfection or within 0-8 hours
of transfection. As transduction-only controls, cells will be mock
transfected (with water) and transduced with either AAV-CAR100
(AAV408) or AAV-CAR763 (AAV412) (1e.sup.5 viral genomes per cell).
For a meganuclease-only control, cells will be transfected with
mRNA encoding TRC 1-2x.87 EE and then mock transduced (with water)
immediately post-transfection.
[0367] Insertion of the chimeric antigen receptor sequence will be
confirmed by sequencing of the cleavage site in the TCR alpha
constant region gene. Cell-surface expression of the chimeric
antigen receptor will be confirmed by flow cytometry, using an
anti-Fab or anti-CD19 antibody. Knockout of the endogenous T cell
receptor at the cell surface will be determined by flow cytometry
as previously described.
Example 5
Insertion and Expression of Chimeric Antigen Receptor
[0368] 1. Insertion of Chimeric Antigen Receptor Sequence into the
TRC 1-2 Recognition Sequence
[0369] In the present study, we test whether AAV can provide HDR
templates that can be used to insert a chimeric antigen receptor
sequence into the TCR alpha constant region gene and,
simultaneously, knock out cell-surface expression of the endogenous
TCR receptor. In the first experiment, human CD3+ T cells (1e.sup.6
cells) were stimulated and electroporated with mRNA encoding the
TRC 1-2x.87 EE meganuclease (2 .mu.g) as described above, then
immediately transduced with AAV412 (1e.sup.5 viral genomes/cell).
As controls, cells were mock electroporated, then transduced with
AAV412 or electroporated with mRNA encoding TRC 1-2x.87EE, then
mock transduced. An additional control of mock electroporated, mock
transduced cells was included.
[0370] A PCR-based assay was developed to determine whether the AAV
HDR template was utilized to repair double-strand breaks at the TRC
1-2 recognition sequence. Three sets of primer pairs were used for
PCR analysis. The first set was designed to amplify a region with
the homology arms of AAV412. Since this first primer set (referred
to as "Inside homolog arms/CAR region" in Table 7) lies within the
homology region, it will either amplify the unmodified TRC 1-2
recognition sequence locus of the genome (349 bp), the AAV412
vector input (2603 bp), or the TRC 1-2 recognition sequence into
which the CAR gene has been inserted (2603 bp). The second primer
set (referred to as "Outside 5' homology arm" in Table 7) includes
one primer that anneals within the CAR region of the AAV412 HDR
template, one primer that anneals in the human genome, outside of
the 5' homology arm of the AAV412 HDR template and will amplify an
1872 bp fragment only if the CAR gene was successfully inserted
into the TRC 1-2 recognition sequence. The third primer set
(referred to as "Outside 3' homology arm" in Table 7) includes one
primer that anneals within the CAR region of the AAV412 HDR
template, and one primer that anneals in the human genome, outside
of the 3' homology arm of the AAV412 HDR template. Similarly to the
second primer set, the third primer set will amplify an 1107 bp
fragment only if the CAR gene was successfully inserted into the
TRC 1-2 recognition sequence. Taken together, PCR products from all
three primer sets will indicate whether the CAR sequence is present
in cells (primer set 1), and whether it has been inserted into the
TRC 1-2 recognition sequence (primer sets 2 and 3).
[0371] On day 4 post-transduction cells were analyzed using the PCR
primer pairs described above. Briefly, approximately 3,000 cells
were harvested, pelleted, and lysed and PCR was performed to
determine whether the CAR gene was inserted into the TRC 1-2
recognition sequence. PCR products were resolved on an agarose gel,
shown in FIG. 26 (lane descriptions can be found in Table 7). Lanes
1-3 are PCR products from the sample that was electroporated with
mRNA encoding TRC 1-2x.87EE and mock transduced.
[0372] As expected, the first primer pair ("Inside homolog arms/CAR
region") amplified the unmodified TRC 1-2 recognition sequence
locus, generating a 349 bp band shown in lane 1. Lanes 2 and 3
correspond to primer pairs that only generate a product if the CAR
gene has been inserted into the TRC 1-2 recognition sequence, and
do not show products. Lanes 7-9 represent samples that were mock
electroporated and mock transduced and show the same bands as the
TRC 1-2x.87EE mRNA only control described above. Lanes 4-6 show PCR
products from the sample that was electroporated with TRC 1-2x.87EE
mRNA and transduced with AAV412. Lane 4 shows two bands generated
by the first primer pair ("Inside homolog arms/CAR region"),
indicating amplification of the unmodified TRC 1-2 recognition
sequence locus of the genome (349 bp) and the AAV412 vector input
(2603 bp) or the TRC 1-2 recognition sequence into which the CAR
gene has been inserted (2603 bp). Lanes 5 and 6 show products
generated by the primer pairs that only amplify products if the CAR
nucleic acid sequence has been inserted into the TRC 1-2x.87EE
recognition site. Both bands are the predicted size (1872 and 1107
bp, respectively). Lanes 10-12 represent the sample that was mock
electroporated and transduced with AAV412. Lane 10 shows two bands
generated by the first primer pair ("Inside homolog arms/CAR
region"), indicating amplification of the unmodified TRC 1-2
recognition sequence locus of the genome (349 bp) and the AAV412
vector input (2603 bp). Lanes 11 and 12 correspond to primer pairs
that only generate a product if the CAR gene has been inserted into
the TRC 1-2 recognition sequence, and do not show products. The
absence of bands in lanes 11 and 12 (which include primers outside
of the homology arm) indicates that the 2603 bp band in lane 10 was
generated from amplification of the AAV412 input.
[0373] Taken together, the PCR analysis clearly demonstrates that
CAR genes are introduced into the TRC 1-2x.87EE recognition site
when both TRC 1-2x.87EE mRNA and AAV412 are present in cells. Thus,
we conclude that AAV412 serves to produce suitable HDR templates
that can be used to insert a CAR gene into the TRC 1-2x.87EE
recognition sequence.
[0374] In a second experiment, human CD3+ T cells were stimulated
and electroporated with mRNA encoding the TRC 1-2x.87 EE
meganuclease as described above, then immediately transduced with
increasing amounts of AAV408 (0 .mu.L, 3.125 .mu.L, 6.25 .mu.L,
12.5 .mu.L, or 25 .mu.L, which corresponds to approximately 0,
3.125e.sup.3, 6.250e.sup.3, 1.25e.sup.4 and 2.5e.sup.4 viral
genomes/cell). As controls, cells were mock electroporated, then
transduced with increasing amounts of AAV408. Additional controls
included cells that were mock electroporated and mock transduced,
as well as cells that were electroporated with TRC 1-2x.87EE mRNA
then mock transduced. On day 4 post-transduction, cells were
harvested and analyzed as described above, but only using the
primer pairs that amplified a product only if the CAR gene has been
inserted into the TRC 1-2 recognition sequence. PCR products were
resolved on agarose gels, shown in FIG. 27. FIG. 27A shows the PCR
products generated using the primer pair described above ("Outside
5' homology arm") which only amplifies a product on the 5' end of
the TRC 1-2 recognition sequence locus if the CAR gene has been
inserted into that locus. FIG. 27B shows the PCR products generated
using the primer pair described above ("Outside 3' homology arm")
which only amplifies a product on the 3' end of the TRC 1-2
recognition sequence locus if the CAR gene has been inserted into
that locus. Lane descriptions can be found in Table 8. Lanes 1-5 in
both FIGS. 27A and 27B represent the samples that were either mock
electroporated or mock electroporated then mock transduced. No PCR
products are visible in mock electroporated cells, indicating the
HDR templates produced by AAV408 are unable to insert the CAR gene
into the TRC 1-2 recognition sequence in the absence of TRC
1-2x.87EE mRNA. Lane 6 represents the sample that was
electroporated with TRC 1-2x.87EE mRNA and mock transduced. No PCR
products are visible, indicating that the CAR gene had not been
inserted into the TRC 1-2 recognition sequence. Lanes 7-10
represent samples that were electroporated with TRC 1-2x.87EE mRNA
and transduced with increasing amounts of AAV408. The appropriately
sized bands for each PCR are evident, indicating that AAV408 can
produce HDR donors for repair of the TRC 1-2 recognition sequence,
resulting in insertion of the CAR gene.

[0375] The PCR-based assays described above are useful in
determining whether the CAR gene had been inserted into the TRC 1-2
recognition sequence, but do not give information on efficiency. To
determine the efficiency of CAR insertion, we developed a digital
PCR-based assay (schematic shown in FIG. 28A). In this assay, two
primer sets are used. The first set amplifies an irrelevant gene
sequence and serves a reference sequence to control for template
number. The second set consists of one primer that anneals within
the CAR gene and one primer that anneals outside of the 3' homology
arm, such that a product is only amplified if the CAR gene has been
inserted into the TRC 1-2 recognition sequence. A VIC-labeled probe
anneals within the amplicon generated from the first primer set and
FAM-labeled probe anneals within the amplicon generated by the
second set of primers. By dividing the number of amplicons detected
by the FAM-labeled probe to the number of reference sequence
amplicons detected by the VIC-labeled probe, it is possible to
accurately quantitate the percent of TRC 1-2 recognition sequence
loci that were modified by insertion of the CAR gene.
[0376] FIG. 28B shows the results of the digital PCR assay for
samples that were either mock electroporated then transduced,
electroporated with TRC 1-2x.87EE mRNA then mock transduced, or
electroporated with TRC 1-2x.87EE mRNA then transduced with
increasing amounts of AAV408. Digital PCR was performed using
genomic DNA isolated from cells approximately 1 week
post-transduction. Consistent with the observations from the PCR
described in FIG. 27, both control samples (transduction only or
electroporation only) were found to have 0% CAR gene inserted into
the TRC 1-2x.87EE recognition sequence. Samples that were
electroporated with mRNA encoding TRC 1-2x.87EE then transduced
with increasing amounts of AAV408 were found to have between
approximately 1.5% and 7%. The assay was performed on two different
instruments (labeled QX200 and QS3D) and showed remarkable
agreement, demonstrating the sensitivity and precision of this
digital PCR-based assay.
2. Expression of Anti-CD19 Chimeric Antigen Receptor on T Cells
[0377] In addition to determining whether CAR insertion occurred at
the molecular level, we sought to determine the expression level of
the anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor in cells that had the CAR
gene inserted into the TRC 1-2 recognition sequence using AAV408 as
the HDR template. Additionally, we examined the efficiency in which
insertion of the CAR into the TRC 1-2x.87EE recognition sequence
resulted in knockout of the T cell receptor. Samples described
above and analyzed in FIGS. 27 and 28 were also analyzed for CAR
and CD3 expression by flow cytometry. Approximately 4 days
post-transduction, cells were labeled with antibodies that
recognize the anti-CD19 CAR (anti-Fab-Alexa647) or CD3
(CD3.sup.-BB515) and analyzed by flow cytometry. FIG. 29A shows
flow cytometry plots, with anti-CAR labeling shown on the Y axis
and anti-CD3 labeling shown on the X axis. Cells that were mock
electroporated and mock transduced (MOI-0) were overwhelmingly
CD3.sup.+/CAR.sup.- (the lower right quadrant, 98.7%). Cells that
were mock electroporated then transduced with increasing amounts of
AAV408 looked essentially identical to the control cells, with the
CD3.sup.+/CAR.sup.- populations at 98.8%, 99, 99%, and 99.1%. Thus
we conclude that the AAV408 virus alone is not driving detectable
levels of CAR expression, nor is it capable of disrupting
expression of the T cell receptor.
[0378] FIG. 29B shows flow cytometry plots for samples that were
either electroporated with mRNA encoding TRC 1-2x.87EE then mock
transduced or cells that were electroporated with TRC 1-2x.87EE
then transduced with increasing amounts of AAV408. Cells that were
electroporated then mock transduced show 47.1% CD3.sup.- cells,
indicating efficient knockout of the T cell receptor complex.
Background labeling with the anti-CD19 CAR was very low, with 0.6%
in the CD3.sup.- population and 0.78% in the CD3.sup.+ population.
Samples that were electroporated with mRNA encoding TRC 1-2x.87EE
then transduced with increasing amounts of AAV408 showed CAR
labeling in the CD3.sup.- population, ranging from 2.09% to 5.9%.
There was also a slight increase in CAR labeling in the CD3.sup.+
population, ranging from 1.08% to 1.91%. We did not determine the
cause of the increase in CAR.sup.+ cells in the CD3.sup.+
population, although it is possible that the CAR was inserted into
the non-expressed T cell receptor allele (only one allele of the T
cell receptor alpha chain is expressed and incorporated into the T
cell receptor complex).
[0379] These data correlated well with the quantitative digital
PCR-based assay described above. For example, at the highest MOI of
AAV408 (2.5e.sup.4 viral genomes/cell), the digital PCR assay
showed approximately 6% CAR insertion, and the flow cytometry assay
showed 5.9% CAR.sup.+/CD3.sup.- cells. If one takes into account
the CAR.sup.+/CD3.sup.+ population, the data are still quite
comparable, with the flow cytometry assay showing approximately
7.8% CAR.sup.+ compared to 6% by digital PCR.
Example 6
Characterization of Additional AAV Vectors
[0380] 1. Insertion of a Chimeric Antigen Receptor Sequence into
the TRC 1-2 Recognition Sequence
[0381] Having shown that AAV vectors could provide suitable HDR
templates to insert CAR genes into the TRC 1-2x.87EE recognition
sequence, we sought to optimize the configuration of the AAV
vector. We generated a vector that could be used to produce
self-complementary AAV genomes that included the CAR gene
expression cassette driven by a JeT promoter, flanked by short
regions of homology to the TRC 1-2 recognition sequence locus and
AAV ITRs. This vector is referred to as AAV421 (FIG. 30; SEQ ID
NO:123). Short homology arms were necessary due to limited
packaging capacity of self-complementary AAV. Additionally, we
generated a vector that could be used to produce single-strand AAV
genomes that includes the CAR gene expression cassette driven by a
CMV promoter, flanked by long homology arms and AAV ITRs. This
vector is referred to as AAV422 (FIG. 31; SEQ ID NO:124). Since
single-strand AAV genomes have a larger cargo capacity, we were
able to utilize longer homology arms than in the self-complementary
vector.
[0382] To test whether AAV421 and AAV422 were useful to target
insertion of the CAR gene into the TRC 1-2 recognition sequence,
several experiments similar to those described above were carried
out in human CD3.sup.+ T cells. In a first experiment, human
CD3.sup.+ T cells (1e.sup.6 cells) were either mock electroporated
then transduced with increasing amounts of AAV421 or 422, or
electroporated with TRC 1-2x.87EE mRNA (2 .mu.g) then transduced
with increasing amounts of AAV421 or AAV422. AAV422 MOIs were
significantly higher than AAV421 in this experiment than in the
experiments described above (approximate MOIs were 1.25e.sup.4,
2.5e.sup.4, 5e.sup.4 and 1e.sup.5 viral genomes/cell) because
earlier experiments with AAV408 suggested that higher MOIs would
result in more efficient CAR insertion. The AAV421 virus stock was
not concentrated enough to allow for titers significantly higher
than in the experiments described earlier. As controls, cells were
electroporated (mock or with TRC 1-2x.87EE mRNA) then mock
transduced. As an additional component to this experiment, a "large
scale" condition was performed, in which 10e.sup.6 cells (10 times
more than a typical experiment) were electroporated with TRC
1-2x.87EE mRNA then transduced with AAV422 (2.5e.sup.4 viral
genomes/cell). Lastly, we also tested a second virus stock of
AAV421 to compare to the primary virus stock.
[0383] Insertion of the CAR was determined by PCR as described
above, using primer pairs that only amplify products if the CAR
gene has been inserted into the TRC 1-2x.87EE recognition sequence.
PCR was resolved by agarose gel, shown in FIGS. 32A and 32B (lane
descriptions can be found in Tables 9 and 10). Sample 1 in FIG. 32A
was mock electroporated then mock transduced, and samples 2-5 were
mock electroporated then transduced with AAV421. The gel shows that
none of these samples generated PCR products, indicating that
AAV421, in the absence of TRC 1-2x.87EE mRNA, is unable to drive
insertion of the CAR gene into the TRC 1-2 recognition sequence.
Additionally, the control sample that was electroporated with TRC
1-2x.87EE mRNA then mock transduced (sample 6), did not show any
PCR products. Samples 7-10 in FIG. 32A were electroporated with TRC
1-2x.87EE mRNA, then transduced with increasing amounts of AAV421.
The gel shows PCR bands for products extending beyond both the 5'
and 3' homology arm (the two bands under each sample number),
demonstrating integration of the CAR gene into the TRC 1-2
recognition sequence. Lastly in FIG. 32A, lanes 11 and 12 represent
samples that were electroporated with TRC 1-2x.87EE mRNA then
transduced with AAV422, either starting with 1e.sup.6 or 10e.sup.6
cells/sample, respectively. The presence of both PCR bands (larger
in the first set, because different primer was used to account for
a longer homology arm) indicate successful insertion of the CAR
gene into the TRC 1-2 recognition sequence.
[0384] Sample 1 in FIG. 32B was mock electroporated then mock
transduced, and samples 2-5 were mock electroporated then
transduced with increasing amounts of AAV422 (Table 10). The gel
shows that none of these samples generated PCR products, indicating
that AAV422, in the absence of TRC 1-2x.87EE mRNA, is unable to
drive insertion of the CAR gene into the TRC 1-2 recognition
sequence. Samples 7-10 in FIG. 32B were electroporated with TRC
1-2x.87EE mRNA, then transduced with increasing amounts of AAV422.
The gel shows PCR bands for products extending beyond both the 5'
and 3' homology arm, demonstrating integration of the CAR gene into
the TRC 1-2 recognition sequence. Lastly, sample 11 represents the
sample that was electroporated with TRC 1-2x.87EE mRNA then
transduced with a AAV421 from a different virus stock than samples
shown in FIG. 32A. The presence of bands indicate insertion of the
CAR gene into the TRC 1-2 recognition sequence and confirms
reproducibility between different virus stocks. Taken together,
FIG. 32 clearly demonstrates that both AAV421 and AAV422 are
capable of generating HDR templates suitable for inserting the CAR
gene into the TRC 1-2 recognition sequence.

2. Expression of Anti-CD19 Chimeric Antigen Receptor on T Cells
Using AAV421
[0385] Here, we sought to determine the expression level of the
anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor in cells that had the CAR gene
inserted into the TRC 1-2 recognition sequence using AAV421.
Samples described above and analyzed in FIG. 32A were also analyzed
for CAR and CD3 expression by flow cytometry. Approximately 4 days
post-transduction, cells were labeled with antibodies that
recognize the anti-CD19 CAR or CD3 and analyzed by flow cytometry.
FIG. 33A shows flow cytometry plots for cells that were mock
electroporated and transduced with AAV421, along with control cells
that were mock electroporated and mock transduced. Cells that were
mock electroporated and mock transduced (MOI-0) were overwhelmingly
CD3.sup.+/CAR.sup.- (the lower right quadrant, 98.8%). Cells that
were mock electroporated then transduced with increasing amounts of
AAV421 looked essentially identical to the control cells, with the
CD3.sup.+/CAR.sup.- populations at 98.8%, 98.6%, 98.8% and 97.9%.
Thus, we conclude that the AAV421 virus alone is not driving
detectable levels of CAR expression, nor is it capable of
disrupting expression of the T cell receptor.
[0386] FIG. 33B shows flow cytometry plots for samples that were
either electroporated with TRC 1-2x.87EE mRNA then mock transduced
or cells that were electroporated with TRC 1-2x.87EE then
transduced with increasing amounts of AAV421. Cells that were
electroporated then mock transduced show 56.7% CD3.sup.- cells,
indicating efficient knockout of the T cell receptor complex.
Background labeling with the anti-CD19 CAR was very low, with 0.48%
in the CD3.sup.- population and 0.36% in the CD3.sup.+ population.
Samples that were electroporated with mRNA encoding TRC 1-2x.87EE
then transduced with increasing amounts of AAV412 showed
significant amounts of CAR labeling in the CD3.sup.- population,
ranging from 4.99% to 13.4%. There was also a slight increase in
CAR labeling in the CD3.sup.+ population, ranging from 1.27% to
3.95%. As mentioned above, it is possible that the CAR gene was
inserted into the non-expressed T cell receptor allele. Also in
contrast to experiments with AAV408, the CAR.sup.+ population was
much better defined, with a higher mean fluorescence intensity,
suggesting that the JeT promoter drives higher expression than the
eF1.alpha. core promoter.
[0387] While evaluating insertion of the CAR gene using AAV421 in
conjunction with TRC 1-x.87EE, we sought to determine a method that
would allow us to preferentially expand and enrich the
CD3.sup.-/CAR.sup.+ population. From the experiment described above
and shown in FIG. 33, we used cells that were electroporated with
TRC 1-2x.87EE mRNA (2 .mu.g) then transduced with AAV421
(3.13e.sup.4 viral genomes/cell). Control samples were mock
electroporated and mock transduced, mock electroporated and
transduced with AAV421, or electroporated with TRC 1-2x.87EE and
mock transduced taken from the experiment described above and shown
in FIG. 33. As a control enrichment and expansion process, these
cells were incubated for 6 days in complete growth medium
supplemented with IL-7 and IL-15 (both at 10 ng/mL). Cells were
then labeled with antibodies against the anti-CD19 CAR and CD3 and
analyzed by flow cytometry (FIG. 34A). Cells that were mock
electroporated and mock transduced showed low levels of background
staining in the CD3.sup.-/CAR.sup.+ quadrant (0.13%). The
CD3.sup.-/CAR.sup.+ population was essentially the same in samples
that were either mock electroporated then transduced with AAV or
electroporated with TRC 1-2x.87EE mRNA then mock transduced (0.16%
and 0.55%, respectively). Cells that were electroporated with TRC
1-2x.87EE mRNA and mock transduced had a CD3.sup.-/CAR.sup.-
population of 53.2%, very close to the amount stained in the first
part of this experiment shown in FIG. 33B (56.7%). Cells that were
electroporated with TRC 1-2x.87EE and transduced with AAV showed
12.6% CD3.sup.-/CAR.sup.+ cells, almost identical to the original
labeling of these cells shown in FIG. 33 (13.4%), demonstrating
that mixture of IL-7 and IL-15 is insufficient to enrich or expand
the specific CD3.sup.-/CAR.sup.+ cell population.
[0388] We next sought to enrich for the CD3.sup.-/CAR.sup.+
population in an antigen-specific manner by incubating the 4
samples described above with IM-9 cells, which present CD19 on the
cell surface. IM-9 cells were inactivated by pre-treatment with
mitomycin C and incubated with samples at a 1:1 ratio for 6 days in
the presence of IL-7 and IL-15 (10 ng/mL). Cells were then labeled
with antibodies against CD3 and the anti-CD19 CAR and analyzed by
flow cytometry (FIG. 34B). Cells that were mock electroporated and
mock transduced showed low levels of background staining in the
CD3.sup.-/CAR.sup.+ quadrant (0.2%). The CD3.sup.-/CAR.sup.+
population was the same in samples that were mock electroporated
then transduced with AAV (0.2%) and slightly higher in cells that
were electroporated with TRC 1-2x.87EE and mock transduced (1.24%).
The increase in CD3.sup.-/CAR.sup.+ cells the TRC 1-2x.87EE alone
control is considered background since no CAR nucleic acid was ever
introduced into the system. Cells that were electroporated with TRC
1-2x.87EE mRNA and mock transduced had a CD3.sup.-/CAR.sup.-
population of 42.5%, which is significantly lower than they were
prior to expansion (56.7%, FIG. 33) suggesting that CD+ cells may
have a growth advantage in this system. However, cells that were
electroporated with TRC 1-2x.87EE and transduced with AAV showed
49.9% CD3.sup.-/CAR.sup.+ cells, a dramatic increase compared to
the original labeling of these cells shown in FIG. 33 (13.4%),
demonstrating that incubation of this sample with IM-9 cells in the
presence of IL-7 and IL-15 is quite effective in enriching and
expanding the CD3.sup.-/CAR.sup.+ population. The
CD3.sup.+/CAR.sup.+ population was also expanded under these
conditions, with the mock electroporated/AAV transduced sample and
the TRC 1-2x.87EE electroporated/AV transduced sample showing 2.53%
and 15.3% CD3.sup.+/CAR.sup.+, respectively.
[0389] In the cells that were electroporated with TRC 1-2x.87EE
then transduced with AAV421, 24.2% of the CD3.sup.- population was
CAR.sup.+ prior to expansion (FIG. 33B). After incubation in medium
supplemented with IL-7 and IL-15, that 25.3% of the CD3.sup.- cells
were CAR.sup.+ (FIG. 34A) indicating that the ratio of gene
knock-in to gene-knockout was unchanged. However, after incubation
with IM-9 cells in addition to IL-7 and IL-15, over 80% (80.35%,
FIG. 34B) of the CD3.sup.- cells were CAR.sup.+, demonstrating that
incubation with IM-9 cells resulted in antigen-specific
enrichment.
[0390] Since mitocmyin C inactives cells very potently and IM-9
cells were not persisting long in the mixed culture, we reasoned
that a second infusion of IM-9 cells might further increase
enrichment of CD3.sup.-/CAR.sup.+ cells. Some of the cells
described above and shown in FIG. 34B would mixed with fresh IM-9
cells (pre-treated with mitocmycin C) in medium containing IL-7 and
IL-15 and were incubated another 6 days. Cells were then stained
for CD3 and anti-CD19 CAR and analyzed by flow cytometry (FIG.
34C). The percentage of CD3.sup.-/CAR.sup.+ cells in any of the
control samples were essentially unchanged compared to the first
round of enrichment on IM-9 cells.
[0391] However, the cells that were electroporated with TRC
1-2x.87EE and transduced with AAV421 showed a significant
enrichment of the CD3.sup.-/CAR.sup.+ population, increasing from
49.9% (after the first round if incubation with IM-9 cells, FIG.
34B) to 65.7% (FIG. 34C). Importantly, 93.75% of the CD3.sup.-
population was CAR.sup.+, indicating further antigen-specific
expansion.
3. Expression of Anti-CD19 Chimeric Antigen Receptor on T Cells
Using AAV422
[0392] We also examined expression of the anti-CD19 CAR from cells
in which AAV422 was used to provide the HDR template (described
above, PCR results shown in FIG. 32B). Approximately 4 days
post-transduction, cells were labeled with antibodies that
recognize the anti-CD19 CAR or CD3 and analyzed by flow cytometry.
FIG. 35A shows flow cytometry plots for cells that were mock
electroporated and transduced with increasing amounts of AAV422,
along with control cells that were mock electroporated and mock
transduced. Cells that were mock electroporated and mock transduced
(MOI-0) were overwhelmingly CD3.sup.+/CAR.sup.- (the lower right
quadrant, 98.8%). Cells that were mock electroporated then
transduced with increasing amounts of AAV422 looked essentially
identical to the control cells, with the CD3.sup.+/CAR.sup.-
populations at 98.6%, 98.6%, 98.9% and 98.4%. Thus, the AAV422
vector alone is not driving detectable levels of CAR expression,
nor is it capable of disrupting expression of the T cell
receptor.
[0393] FIG. 35B shows flow cytometry plots for samples that were
either electroporated with TRC 1-2x.87EE mRNA then mock transduced
or cells that were electroporated with TRC 1-2x.87EE then
transduced with increasing amounts of AAV422. Cells that were
electroporated then mock transduced show 59.3% CD3.sup.- cells,
indicating efficient knockout of the T cell receptor complex.
Background labeling with the anti-CD19 CAR was very low, with 1.47%
in the CD3.sup.- population and 0.52% in the CD3.sup.+ population.
Samples that were electroporated with mRNA encoding TRC 1-2x.87EE
then transduced with increasing amounts of AAV422 showed
significant amounts of CAR labeling in the CD3.sup.- population,
ranging from 14.7% to 20.3%. There was also a slight increase in
CAR labeling in the CD3.sup.+ population, ranging from 2.3% to
2.7%.
[0394] Surprisingly, we observed a noticeable increase in T cell
receptor knockout efficiency in the presence of AAV422. Overall CD3
knockout efficiency with increasing AAV422 was 71.6%, 74.9%, 77.8%
and 74.4% compared to 59.3% in the TRC 1-2x.87EE electroporation
alone. In contrast, overall CD3 knockout efficiency with increasing
AAV421 was 56.99%, 56.62%, 57.4% and 55.4% compared to 57.18% in
the TRC 1-2x.87EE electroporation alone (FIG. 33B). Thus, it
appears that electroporation with TRC 1-2x.87EE in the presence of
single-stranded AAV genomes, but not self-complimentary AAV
genomes, results in an increase in the overall knockout efficiency
of the TRC 1-2x.87EE nuclease. Because of this increase, the
percent of CD3.sup.- cells that are CAR.sup.+ is not significantly
different between cells transduced with AAV421 and AAV422 despite
the higher numbers of CD3.sup.-/CAR.sup.+ cells. The highest
percent of CD3.sup.- cells that were CAR.sup.+ using AAV421 was
24.18% (MOI=3.13e.sup.4 viral genomes/cell) compared to 26.48% with
AAV422 (MOI=1e.sup.5 viral genomes/cell). This observation is
particularly interesting considering the large difference in MOI
between AAV421 and AAV422.
[0395] The concept of utilizing IM-9 cells to specifically enrich
for CD3.sup.-/CAR.sup.+ cells was tested using cells from this
experiment. Again, rather than testing the entire panel, we only
attempted enrichment of either cells mock electroporated then
transduced with AAV422 or electroporated with TRC 1-2x.87EE then
transduced with AAV422 (2.5e.sup.4 viral genomes/cell) in a new
experiment. FIG. 36A shows flow cytometry plots at approximately
day 4 post-transduction. Mock electroporated/transduced cells
showed background staining of CD3.sup.-/CAR.sup.+ cells at 0.13%.
In comparison, cells electroporated with TRC 1-2x.87EE the
transduced with AAV422 showed 4.44% CD3.sup.-/CAR.sup.+ cells.
Cells were incubated with IM-9 cells (pre-treated with mitomycin)
in the presence of IL-7 and IL-15 for 6 days as described above,
then analyzed by flow cytometry. FIG. 36B shows that incubation
with IM-9 cells dramatically increased the CD3.sup.-/CAR.sup.+
population in AAV422 transduced cells to 35.8%. The CAR.sup.+ cells
make up 45.2% of the total CD3.sup.- population, compared to 6.69%
prior to enrichment (FIG. 36A). As above, we also further enriched
by a second addition of IM-9 cells (FIG. 36C). Two rounds of
incubation with IM-9 cells resulted in 65.1% CD3.sup.-/CAR.sup.+
cells. The CAR.sup.+ cells make up 78.25% of the total CD3.sup.-
population, indicating significant, antigen-dependent enrichment of
CD3.sup.-/CAR.sup.+ cells.
[0396] These data, in conjunction with the data presented above,
clearly demonstrate that cells that have had an anti-CD19 CAR gene
inserted into the TRC 1-2 recognition sequence can be successfully
enriched by incubation with IM-9 cells in the presence of IL-7 and
IL-15, and can result in a CD3.sup.- population that is over 90%
CAR.sup.+ in as little as 12 days of culture.
4. Increased Knockout Efficiency Observed when Using Single-Strand
AAV Vectors
[0397] In the present study, we followed up on the observation that
single-stranded AAV vectors increased knockout efficiency of the
TRC 1-2x.87EE nuclease. In a first experiment, cells were
electroporated with TRC 1-2x.87EE (2 .mu.g) and either mock
transduced or transduced with increasing amounts of AAV412
(6.25e.sup.4, 1.25e.sup.4, 2.5e.sup.4 or 5e.sup.4 viral
genomes/cell). On day 4 post-transduction, cells were labeled with
an antibody against CD3 and analyzed by flow cytometry (FIG. 37A).
In the mock transduced cells, 20.7% are CD3.sup.- compared to
21.6%, 23.7%, 25.5% and 25% with increasing AAV412, indicating that
TRC 1-2x.87EE knockout efficiency is up to 23% higher in the
presence of AAV412 (25.5% compared to 20.7%).
[0398] To determine whether this increase in knockout efficiency
was nuclease specific, in an additional experiment, cells were
electroporated with mRNA (2 .mu.g) encoding a nuclease targeting
the .beta.2-microglobulin gene and either mock transduced or
transduced with increasing amounts of AAV412. Cells were stained
for .beta.2-microglobulin on day 4 post-transduction and analyzed
by flow cytometry (FIG. 37B). In the mock transduced cells,
.beta.2-microglobulin knockout efficiency was 64.5% and increased
in the transduced cells to 68.6%, 70.7%, 77.2% and 82.5% with
increasing amounts of AAV412, demonstrating an increase in knockout
efficiency of up to 27.9% (82.5% compared to 64.5%).
[0399] In a parallel experiment, cells were electroporated with TRC
1-2x.87EE mRNA and either mock transduced or transduced with AAV422
(using the same MOIs as AAV412). Cells were labeled with an
antibody against CD3 and cells were analyzed by flow cytometry
(FIG. 37C). The mock transduced cells showed 62.2% T cell receptor
knockout, and with increasing amounts of AAV, the T cell receptor
knockout frequency increased to 72.6%, 75.5%, 78.3% and 75.1%.
Here, the presence of AAV422 increases the knockout efficiency of
TRC 1-2x.87EE by up to 25.8% (78.3% compared to 62.2%). It is
striking that the increase in percent knockout efficiency is almost
identical between these three experiments, using two different
nucleases and two different AAV vectors. Taken together, these data
strongly indicate that transduction of cells with single strand AAV
vectors increase the knockout efficiency of our nucleases,
irrespective of nuclease or AAV cargo.
5. Activity of T Cells Expressing Anti-CD19 Chimeric Antigen
Receptor
[0400] The above experiments clearly demonstrate the generation of
CAR T cells by electroporating cells with TRC 1-2x.87EE mRNA, then
immediately transducing cells with AAV421, and that these cells can
be enriched for a CD3.sup.-/CAR.sup.+ population by co-culture with
CD19 expressing IM-9 cells. We next examined the activity of these
CAR T cells against target cells. In the first experiment, the
cells described above and shown in FIG. 34C were used in an
IFN-gamma ELISPOT assay, in which either CD19.sup.+ Raji cells or
CD19.sup.- U937 cells were the target population. As shown in FIG.
38A, when anti-CD19 CAR T cells were incubated with U937 cells,
they did not secrete IFN-gamma regardless of the target:effector
ratio. Incubating CAR T cells with Raji cells, however, resulted in
high levels of IFN-gamma secretion, in a dose-dependent manner,
indicating that secretion of IFN-gamma is antigen-specific.
[0401] These CAR T cells were also used in a cell killing assay in
which luciferase-labeled Raji cells were the target. Briefly, CAR T
cells were incubated with luciferase-labeled Raji cells at a ratio
of 10:1. At several time points, cells were washed and lysed to
measure luciferase activity as a measure of how many cells
remained. Control cells showed luciferase activity greater than
5500 arbitrary units (FIG. 38B). Co-incubation for 2, 3, 4 and 5
hours resulted in a decrease in luciferase activity to 4598, 3292,
2750 and 1932 arbitrary units, respectively. Thus, within 5 hours
of co-incubation, luciferase activity was reduced approximately
65%, indicating strong cytolytic activity of the CAR T cells.
[0402] Taken together, these data demonstrate that anti-CD19 CAR T
cells generated according to the methods described herein are
effective at killing CD19.sup.+ cells.
Example 7
Linearized Plasmid DNA
[0403] 1. Expression of Chimeric Antigen Receptor from Linearized
Plasmid DNA
[0404] Since HDR templates produced by AAV are linear DNA
molecules, we hypothesized that linear DNA from any source may be a
suitable HDR template for inserting a CAR gene into the TRC 1-2
recognition sequence. To test this, we generated several plasmids
that contain an anti-CD19 CAR gene flanked by homology arms that
are homologous to the TRC 1-2 recognition sequence locus. Different
promoters were used in some plasmids, and homology arms were either
"short" (200 bp on the 5' homology arm and 180 bp on the 3'
homology arm) to mimic the self-complimentary AAV vectors, or
"long" (985 bp on the 5' homology arm and 763 bp on the 3' homology
arm) to mimic the single strand AAV vectors. Plasmids with short
homology arms are labeled "pDS" and those with long homology arms
are labeled "pDI." Additionally, some plasmid contained an intron
upstream of the CAR gene.
[0405] The CAR donor plasmids were linearized at a restriction site
in the vector backbone and gel purified. Human CD3.sup.+ T cells
were either electroporated with the linearized CAR donor plasmid
alone (varying amounts between 500 ng and 1000 ng, depending on the
concentration of the purified linearized plasmid), or
co-electroporated with TRC 1-2.87EE mRNA (2 .mu.g). As controls,
cells were either mock electroporated or electroporated with TRC
1-2x.87EE alone. The graphs in FIG. 39 are labelled with
descriptions for all electroporations. Approximately 4 days
post-electroporation, cells were labelled with antibodies against
CD3 and the anti-CD19 CAR and analyzed by flow cytometry (FIG. 39).
FIG. 39A shows background CD3.sup.-/CAR.sup.+ staining of 0.15%. It
should be noted that the background CD3.sup.+/CAR.sup.+ staining
was unusually high at 4.31%. FIG. 39B shows cells that were
electroporated with TRC 1-2x.87EE mRNA alone, demonstrating 60.8%
CD3 knockout. FIGS. 39C and 39D represent samples that were
co-electroporated with TRC 1-2x.87EE mRNA and either the long
homology arm vector with an EF1.alpha. core promoter with an HTLV
enhancer or the short homology arm vector with EF1.alpha. core
promoter (with no enhancer). Interestingly, the linearized CAR
donor with the EF1.alpha. core promoter alone generated a
CD3.sup.-/CAR.sup.+ population of 2.38%, while the vector harboring
the EF1.alpha. core promoter with the HTLV enhancer did not
generate a significant percentage of CD3.sup.-/CAR.sup.+ cells.
Cells that were electroporated with these two vectors in the
absence of TRC 1-2x.87EE mRNA showed no significant increase in the
CD3.sup.-/CAR.sup.+ population (FIGS. 39E and 39F). The increase in
the CD3.sup.-/CAR.sup.+ population with the EF1.alpha. core
promoter vector in the presence of TRC 1-2x.87EE suggested that a
linearized plasmid could serve as an HDR template to repair double
strand breaks at the TRC 1-2 recognition sequence.
[0406] FIGS. 39G and 39H show two long homology arm constructs that
both contain an MND promoter driving expression of the CAR. One of
these constructs, shown in FIG. 39G, also contains an intron in the
5' end of the CAR gene. Surprisingly, the long homology arm plasmid
with an MND promoter and intron showed significant CAR expression
(FIG. 39G, 4.14% CD3.sup.-/CAR.sup.+) while the intron-less
construct (FIG. 39H) did not show detectable CAR expression when
co-electroporated with TRC 1-2x.87EE mRNA. A short homology arm
plasmid with the MND promoter, but with no intron, was also tested
with TRC 1-2x.87EE mRNA and did not demonstrate any CAR expression
(FIG. 39I). None of the MND promoter-containing constructs
generated any CAR.sup.+ cells in the absence of TRC 1-2x.87EE mRNA
(FIGS. 39J, 39K, and 39L).
[0407] Lastly in this experiment, we tested a short homology arm
construct that contained a JeT promoter driving expression of the
CAR and a "long" homology arm construct with a CMV promoter driving
expression of the CAR. Alone, neither of these linearized plasmids
resulted in significant CAR.sup.+ cells (FIGS. 39O and 39P). When
cells were co-electroporated with TRC 1-2x.87EE mRNA, the JeT
containing construct showed 2.69% CD3.sup.-CAR.sup.+ cells and the
CMV containing construct yielded 2.7% CD3.sup.-/CAR.sup.+
cells.
[0408] The flow plots shown in FIG. 39 clearly demonstrate that
linearized plasmid DNA that encodes the CAR, flanked by homology
arms, can serve as HDR templates to repair DNA breaks caused by TRC
1-2x.87EE, resulting in insertion of the CAR nucleic acid. It is
clear that promoter strength plays a significant role in expression
of the CAR, and some promoters drive more efficient expression when
there is an intron in the gene.
[0409] To confirm that insertion of the CAR using linearized DNA
constructs was specific to the TRC 1-2 recognition sequence locus,
we analyzed cells as described above using primers that sat within
the CAR and outside of the homology arms (FIG. 40, Table 11).
Samples 1 and 2 are PCR products from cells that were either mock
electroporated or electroporated with only mRNA encoding TRC
1-2x.87EE. Consistent with results shown above, no PCR bands are
present indicating the lack of CAR gene in the TRC 1-2 recognition
site. Samples 3, 4 and 5 are from cells that were co-electroporated
with TRC 1-2x.87EE and a linearized CAR homology plasmid (samples
names in FIG. 40). Each sample shows two PCR bands of the predicted
size indicating insertion of the CAR gene expression cassette into
the TRC 1-2 recognition site. Samples 6, 7, and 8 are from cells
that were electroporated with the same linearized CAR homology
plasmids as samples 3, 4, and 5 but without TRC 1-2x.87EE mRNA. As
expected, no PCR bands are present. Samples 9 and 10 are PCR
products from cells that were either mock electroporated or
electroporated with only mRNA encoding TRC 1-2x.87EE and show no
PCR bands. Samples 11, 12, 13 and 14 are from cells that were
co-electroporated with TRC 1-2x.87EE and a linearized CAR homology
plasmid (samples names in FIG. 40). Each sample shows two PCR bands
of the predicted size indicating insertion of the CAR gene into the
TRC 1-2 recognition site. Samples 15, 16, 17, and 18 are from cells
that were electroporated with the same linearized CAR homology
plasmids as samples 11, 12, 13, and 14 but without TRC 1-2x.87EE
mRNA. As expected, no PCR bands are present.
[0410] FIGS. 39 and 40 clearly demonstrate that co-electroporating
human CD3.sup.+ T cells with mRNA encoding TRC 1-2x.87EE and a
linearized CAR homology plasmid is an effective method to insert
the CAR gene into the TRC 1-2 recognition sequence.

Characterization of Additional AAV Vectors
[0411] 1. Use of AAV with JeT Promoter and Long Homology Arms
[0412] Collectively, the data shown above indicate that vectors
utilizing the JeT promoter drive high, consistent expression of the
CAR and that longer homology arms may increase gene insertion
efficiency. We designed and generated the vector shown in FIG. 41
(SEQ ID NO:125), which was used to make single-strand AAV with long
homology arms, and a JeT promoter driving expression of the
anti-CD19 CAR (referred to herein as AAV423). Human CD3.sup.+ T
cells were electroporated with mRNA encoding TRC 1-2x.87EE and
transduced with increasing amounts of AAV423. Since data shown
above suggested that higher MOIs may result in increased insertion
efficiency, we used titers ranging from 1.875e.sup.4 to 1.5e.sup.5.
As controls, cells were either electroporated with mRNA encoding
TRC 1-2x.87EE then mock transduced or mock electroporated then
transduced with increasing amounts of AAV423. On day 6
post-transduction, cells were labeled with antibodies recognizing
CD3 or the anti-CD19 CAR and analyzed by flow cytometry. As shown
in FIG. 42, cells that were mock electroporated then transduced
with increasing amounts of AAV423 are overwhelmingly
CD3.sup.+/CAR.sup.- (ranging from 96.6% to 98.5%). Cells that were
electroporated with mRNA encoding TRC 1-2x.87EE and mock transduced
were 39% CD3.sup.- indicating efficient knockout of the T cell
receptor. In these cells, background CAR staining was very low
(around 2%). Cells that were electroporated with mRNA encoding TRC
1-2x.87EE then transduced with increasing amounts of AAV423 showed
dramatic CAR staining in conjunction with CD3 knockout.
CD3.sup.-/CAR.sup.+ populations ranged from 21.6% to 22.7%, while
CD3.sup.+/CAR.sup.+ populations were around 2%. As described above,
the presence of single-strand AAV increased the overall gene
modification efficiency at the TRC 1-2 recognition site, with total
CD3.sup.- populations increasing from 41.44% in the control cells
to 57.6%, 59.2%, 58.7%, and 56.1% in cells that were electroporated
then transduced with increasing amounts of AV423. The percent of
CD3.sup.- cells that were CAR.sup.+ ranged from 37.5% to 39.9%
indicating a dramatic increase in insertion efficiency compared to
data described above.
[0413] To confirm that insertion of the CAR using AAV423 was
specific to the TRC 1-2 recognition sequence locus, we analyzed
cells as described above using primers that sat within the CAR and
outside of the homology arms (FIG. 43, Table 12).

Samples 1 and 2 are PCR products from cells that were mock
electroporated. Consistent with results shown above, no PCR bands
are present indicating the lack of CAR gene in the TRC 1-2
recognition site. Samples 3-6 are from cells that were mock
electroporated then transduced with increasing amounts of AAV423.
Consistent with results above, there are no PCR bands present.
Sample 7 is from cells electroporated with mRNA encoding TRC
1-2x.87EE then mock transduced, and shows no PCR bands. Samples
8-11 are from cells electroporated with mRNA encoding TRC 1-2x.87EE
then transduced with increasing amounts of AAV423, and show the PCR
bands expected if the CAR is inserted into the TRC 1-2 recognition
sequence.
[0414] Given the ability of AAV423 to insert the CAR sequence into
the TRC 1-2 recognition site following cleavage, it is further
envisioned that the AAV423 plasmid (FIG. 41) could be linearized by
digestion with a and delivered to the cell by digestion with one or
more restriction enzymes, such that the T cells could be
transfected with a linearized DNA template which could integrate
into the TRC 1-2 recognition site and encode an anti-CD19 CAR.
Example 9
In Vivo Efficacy of Anti-CD19 TCR-Negative CAR T Cells
1. Murine Model of Disseminated B Cell Lymphoma
[0415] The efficacy of the gene-edited anti-CD19 CAR T cells was
evaluated in a murine model of disseminated B cell lymphoma.
Activated T cells were electroporated with TRC 1-2x.87 EE mRNA as
described above, then transduced with an AAV6 vector comprising an
anti-CD19 CAR expression cassette driven by a JeT promoter and
flanked by homology arms. Following 5 days of culture with IL-2 (10
ng/mL), cells were analyzed for cell-surface CD3 and anti-CD19 CAR
expression by flow cytometry as previously described (FIG. 44A).
CD3.sup.- cells were enriched by depleting CD3.sup.+ cells using
anti-CD3 magnetic beads. Depleted cells were then cultured for 3
days in IL-15 (10 ng/mL) and IL-21 (10 ng/mL) and re-analyzed for
cell-surface expression of CD3 and anti-CD19 CAR (FIG. 44B).
Isolation of the CD3.sup.- population was quite efficient, yielding
99.9% purity as measured by flow cytometry following depletion of
CD3.sup.+ cells (FIG. 44B). The purified CD3.sup.- population
comprised 56% CD4.sup.+ and 44% CD8.sup.+ cells (FIG. 44C), and had
primarily central memory/transitional memory phenotypes, determined
by staining for CD62L and CD45RO (FIG. 44D).
[0416] Studies utilizing the Raji disseminated lymphoma model were
conducted by Charles River Laboratories International Inc.
(Morrisville, N.C., USA). CD19.sup.+ Raji cells stably expressing
firefly luciferase (ffLuc).sup.44 were injected i.v. into 5-6 week
old female NSG mice on Day 1, at a dose of 2.0.times.10.sup.5 cells
per mouse. On Day 4 mice were injected i.v. with PBS or PBS
containing gene edited control TCR KO T cells prepared from the
same healthy donor PBMC or PBS containing the indicated doses of
CAR T cells prepared from the same donor. On the indicated days,
live mice were injected i.p. with Luciferin substrate (150 mg/kg in
saline), anesthetized, and Luciferase activity measured after 7
minutes using IVIS SpectrumCT (Perkin Elmer, Waltham, Mass.). Data
was analyzed and exported using Living Image software 4.5.1 (Perkin
Elmer, Waltham, Mass.). Luminescence signal intensity is
represented by radiance in p/sec/cm.sup.2/sr.
2. Results
[0417] As shown in FIG. 45, growth of CD19.sup.+ Raji cells was
evident in all mice at low levels by day 8, and increased
significantly in untreated and TCR.sup.- control groups by day 11.
In control groups, significant tumor growth was observed by day 15,
and by day 18 or 19 all control groups were euthanized. In
contrast, all groups of mice treated with anti-CD19 CAR T cells
showed no evidence of tumor growth by day 11 and, with the
exception of a single mouse in the low dose group, remained
tumor-free through day 29 of the study. Tumor re-growth was
observed in three mice in the low dose cohort around day 36. One of
the three died at day 42, though imaging revealed only low levels
of tumor in this animal, so it is unlikely that death was
tumor-related.
3. Conclusions
[0418] These results provide clear evidence for in vivo clearance
of CD19.sup.+ tumor cells by gene-edited CD3.sup.- CAR T cells and
support further preclinical development of this platform for
allogeneic CAR T cell therapy.
