Abstract
Immunological strategies to treat pancreatic cancer offer new therapeutic approaches to improve patient outcomes. Understanding alterations in the immune systems of pancreatic cancer patients will likely lead to advances in immunotherapy for the disease. We profiled peripheral blood leukocytes from pancreatic cancer patients (n = 22) and age-matched controls (n = 20) using flow cytometry. Immune profiling of pancreatic cancer patients identified phenotypic changes in various immune cell populations, including a population of immunosuppressive monocytes (CD14+HLA-DRlo/neg), which were shown to be increased in these patients. There was a correlation between the levels of CD14+ monocytes and the levels of CD14+HLA-DRlo/neg monocytes in peripheral blood from pancreatic cancer patients. HLA-DR downregulation of monocytes was shown to occur through pancreatic cancer-derived exosome interactions with monocytes. In an in vitro model, exosomes from patient-derived xenograft cell lines and patient plasma decreased HLA-DR expression on CD14+ monocytes. Additionally, tumor-derived exosomes caused immune suppression in monocytes through altered STAT3 signaling, induction of arginase expression, and reactive oxygen species. These findings provide novel insights into the mechanisms that govern immunosuppression in pancreatic cancer. Understanding monocyte-exosome interactions could lead to novel immunotherapies for this disease.

Abstract
Adipose‐derived mesenchymal stem cells (AMSCs) offer potential as a therapeutic option for clinical applications in musculoskeletal regenerative medicine because of their immunomodulatory functions and capacity for trilineage differentiation. In preparation for a phase I clinical trial using AMSCs to treat patients with osteoarthritis, we carried out preclinical studies to assess the safety of human AMSCs within the intra‐articular joint space. Culture‐expanded human AMSCs grown in human platelet‐lysate were delivered via intra‐articular injections into normal healthy rabbit knees and knees at risk for the development of osteoarthritis after bilateral medial anterior hemimeniscectomy. Treatment outcomes and safety were evaluated by assessing the general health, function, and behavior of the animals. Joint tissues were analyzed by x‐ray, magnetic resonance imaging, and histopathology. Intra‐articular AMSC therapy was well tolerated in this study. We did not observe adverse systemic reactions, nor did we find evidence of damage to intra‐articular joint tissues. Thus, the data generated in this study show a favorable safety profile for AMSCs within the joint space in support of a phase I clinical trial evaluating the clinical utility of AMSCs to treat osteoarthritis.

Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells from patients with atherosclerotic renovascular disease have increased DNA damage and reduced angiogenesis that can be modified by hypoxia. Stem Cell Res Ther 2016; 7:128. [PMID: 27612459 PMCID: PMC5016873 DOI: 10.1186/s13287-016-0389-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2016] [Revised: 07/27/2016] [Accepted: 08/23/2016] [Indexed: 01/28/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Adipose-derived MSC (AMSCs) possess angiogenic and immunomodulatory properties that may modulate kidney regeneration. Whether these properties are retained in older patients with atherosclerotic vascular disease is poorly understood. Hypoxic conditions are known to modify properties and growth characteristics of AMSCs. We tested the hypothesis that AMSCs from older patients with atherosclerotic renovascular disease (RVD) differ from normal kidney donors, and whether hypoxia changes their functional and molecular properties to promote angiogenesis. METHODS AMSCs from 11 patients with RVD (mean age =74.5 years) and 10 healthy kidney donors (mean age = 51.2 years) were cultured under normoxia (20 % O2) and hypoxia (1 % O2) for 3-4 days until they reached 80 % confluency. We analyzed expression of genes and microRNAs using RNA sequencing and real-time quantitative rt-PCR. Protein expression of selected angiogenic factors (VEGF, IGF, HGF and EGF) were quantified in conditioned media using ELISAs. Apoptosis was tested using Annexin IV staining. RESULTS Normoxic AMSC from RVD patients grew normally, but exhibited increased DNA damage and reduced migration. VEGF protein secretion was significantly lower in the RVD AMSCs (0.08 vs 2.4 ng/mL/ cell, p <0.05) while HGF was higher. Both trends were reversed during growth under hypoxic conditions. Hypoxia upregulated pro-angiogenic mRNAs expression in AMSCs (VEGF, FGF, STC and ANGPTL4), and downregulated expression of many miRNAs (e.g., miR-15a, miR-16, miR-93, miR-424, 126, 132, 221) except miR-210. CONCLUSIONS Thus, although AMSC from patients with RVD had increased DNA damage and reduced migration, hypoxia stimulated pro-angiogenic responses via increased expression of angiogenic genes, VEGF secretion and induction of the hypoxia-inducible miR-210, while downregulating angiogenesis-related miRNAs.

Abstract
PURPOSE Surgical reconstruction of intra-articular ligament injuries is hampered by the poor regenerative potential of the tissue. We hypothesized that a novel composite polymer "neoligament" seeded with progenitor cells and growth factors would be effective in regenerating native ligamentous tissue. METHODS We synthesized a fumarate-derivative of polycaprolactone fumarate (PCLF) to create macro-porous scaffolds to allow cell-cell communication and nutrient flow. Clinical grade human adipose tissue-derived human mesenchymal stem cells (AMSCs) were cultured in 5% human platelet lysate (PL) and seeded on scaffolds using a dynamic bioreactor. Cell growth, viability, and differentiation were examined using metabolic assays and immunostaining for ligament-related markers (e.g., glycosaminoglycans [GAGs], alkaline phosphatase [ALP], collagens, and tenascin-C). RESULTS AMSCs seeded on three-dimensional (3D) PCLF scaffolds remain viable for at least 2 weeks with proliferating cells filling the pores. AMSC proliferation rates increased in PL compared to fetal bovine serum (FBS) (p < 0.05). Cells had a low baseline expression of ALP and GAG, but increased expression of total collagen when induced by the ligament and tenogenic growth factor fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF-2), especially when cultured in the presence of PL (p < 0.01) instead of FBS (p < 0.05). FGF-2 and PL also significantly increased immunostaining of tenascin-C and collagen at 2 and 4 weeks compared with human fibroblasts. SUMMARY Our results demonstrate that AMSCs proliferate and eventually produce a collagen-rich extracellular matrix on porous PCLF scaffolds. This novel scaffold has potential in stem cell engineering and ligament regeneration.

Abstract
Background Clinical translation of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) necessitates basic characterization of the cell product since variability in biological source and processing of MSCs may impact therapeutic outcomes. Although expression of classical cell surface markers (e.g., CD90, CD73, CD105, and CD44) is used to define MSCs, identification of functionally relevant cell surface markers would provide more robust release criteria and options for quality control. In addition, cell surface expression may distinguish between MSCs from different sources, including bone marrow-derived MSCs and clinical-grade adipose-derived MSCs (AMSCs) grown in human platelet lysate (hPL). Methods In this work we utilized quantitative PCR, flow cytometry, and RNA-sequencing to characterize AMSCs grown in hPL and validated non-classical markers in 15 clinical-grade donors. Results We characterized the surface marker transcriptome of AMSCs, validated the expression of classical markers, and identified nine non-classical markers (i.e., CD36, CD163, CD271, CD200, CD273, CD274, CD146, CD248, and CD140B) that may potentially discriminate AMSCs from other cell types. More importantly, these markers exhibit variability in cell surface expression among different cell isolates from a diverse cohort of donors, including freshly prepared, previously frozen, or proliferative state AMSCs and may be informative when manufacturing cells. Conclusions Our study establishes that clinical-grade AMSCs expanded in hPL represent a homogeneous cell culture population according to classical markers,. Additionally, we validated new biomarkers for further AMSC characterization that may provide novel information guiding the development of new release criteria.

Abstract
Integration of porous metal prosthetics, which restore form and function of irreversibly damaged joints, into remaining healthy bone is critical for implant success. We investigated the biological properties of adipose-tissue-derived mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (AMSCs) and addressed their potential to alter the in vitro microenvironment of implants. We employed human AMSCs as a practical source for musculoskeletal applications because these cells can be obtained in large quantities, are multipotent, and have trophic paracrine functions. AMSCs were cultured on surgical-grade porous titanium disks as a model for orthopedic implants. We monitored cell/substrate attachment, cell proliferation, multipotency, and differentiation phenotypes of AMSCs upon osteogenic induction. High-resolution scanning electron microscopy and histology revealed that AMSCs adhere to the porous metallic surface. Compared to standard tissue culture plastic, AMSCs grown in the porous titanium microenvironment showed differences in temporal expression for genes involved in cell cycle progression (CCNB2, HIST2H4), extracellular matrix production (COL1A1, COL3A1), mesenchymal lineage identity (ACTA2, CD248, CD44), osteoblastic transcription factors (DLX3, DLX5, ID3), and epigenetic regulators (EZH1, EZH2). We conclude that metal orthopedic implants can be effectively seeded with clinical-grade stem/stromal cells to create a pre-conditioned implant.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the biological effects of passage through clinically relevant needles on the viability and metabolic activity of culture-expanded, human adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (AMSCs). DESIGN Prospective observational pilot study. SETTING Academic medical center. PARTICIPANTS Patient-derived clinical-grade culture expanded AMSCs. INTERVENTIONS AMSCs were passed through syringes without a needle attached (control), with an 18-gauge (25.4-mm) needle attached and with a 30-gauge (19-mm) needle attached at a constant injection flow rate and constant cell concentrations. Each injection condition was completed in triplicate. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Cell number and viability, proliferative capacity, metabolic activity, and acute gene expression as measured by cell counts, mitochondrial activity, and quantitative real time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction on day 0 (immediately), day 1, and day 4 after injection. RESULTS AMSC viability was not significantly affected by injection, and cells proliferated normally regardless of study group. Postinjection, AMSCs robustly expressed both proliferation markers and extracellular matrix proteins. Stress-response mRNAs were markedly but transiently increased independently of needle size within the first day in culture postinjection. CONCLUSIONS Human, culture-expanded AMSCs maintain their viability, proliferative capacity, and metabolic function following passage through needles as small as 30-gauge at constant flow rates of 4 mL/min, despite an early, nonspecific stress/cytoprotective response. These initial findings suggest that culture-expanded AMSCs should tolerate the injection process during most cell-based therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine if adventitial transplantation of human adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to the outflow vein of B6.Cg-Foxn1(nu)/J mice with arteriovenous fistula (AVF) at the time of creation would reduce monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (Mcp-1) gene expression and venous neointimal hyperplasia. The second aim was to track transplanted zirconium 89 ((89)Zr)-labeled MSCs serially with positron emission tomography (PET) for 21 days. MATERIALS AND METHODS All animal experiments were performed according to protocols approved by the institutional animal care and use committee. Fifty B6.Cg-Foxn1(nu)/J mice were used to accomplish the study aims. Green fluorescent protein was used to stably label 2.5 × 10(5) MSCs, which were injected into the adventitia of the outflow vein at the time of AVF creation in the MSC group. Eleven mice died after AVF placement. Animals were sacrificed on day 7 after AVF placement for real-time polymerase chain reaction (n = 6 for MSC and control groups) and histomorphometric (n = 6 for MSC and control groups) analyses and on day 21 for histomorphometric analysis only (n = 6 for MSC and control groups). In a separate group of experiments (n = 3), animals with transplanted (89)Zr-labeled MSCs were serially imaged with PET for 3 weeks. Multiple comparisons were performed with two-way analysis of variance, followed by the Student t test with post hoc Bonferroni correction. RESULTS In vessels with transplanted MSCs compared with control vessels, there was a significant decrease in Mcp-1 gene expression (day 7: mean reduction, 62%; P = .029), with a significant increase in the mean lumen vessel area (day 7: mean increase, 176% [P = .013]; day 21: mean increase, 415% [P = .011]). Moreover, this was accompanied by a significant decrease in Ki-67 index (proliferation on day 7: mean reduction, 81% [P = .0003]; proliferation on day 21: mean reduction, 60%, [P = .016]). Prolonged retention of MSCs at the adventitia was evidenced by serial PET images of (89)Zr-labeled cells. CONCLUSION Adventitial transplantation of MSCs decreases Mcp-1 gene expression, accompanied by a reduction in venous neointimal hyperplasia.

Abstract
The PD-1:PD-L1 immune signaling axis mediates suppression of T-cell-dependent tumor immunity. PD-1 expression was recently found to be upregulated on tumor-infiltrating murine (CD11c(+)CD11b(+)CD8(-)CD209a(+)) and human (CD1c(+)CD19(-)) myeloid dendritic cells (TIDC), an innate immune cell type also implicated in immune escape. However, there is little knowledge concerning how PD-1 regulates innate immune cells. In this study, we examined the role of PD-1 in TIDCs derived from mice bearing ovarian tumors. Similar to lymphocytes, TIDC expression of PD-1 was associated with expression of the adapter protein SHP-2, which signals to NF-κB; however, in contrast to its role in lymphocytes, we found that expression of PD-1 in TIDC tonically paralyzed NF-κB activation. Further mechanistic investigations showed that PD-1 blocked NF-κB-dependent cytokine release in a SHP-2-dependent manner. Conversely, inhibition of NF-κB-mediated antigen presentation by PD-1 occurred independently of SHP-2. Collectively, our findings revealed that PD-1 acts in a distinct manner in innate immune cells compared with adaptive immune cells, prompting further investigations of the signaling pathways controlled by this central mediator of immune escape in cancer.

Abstract
Epigenetic control of gene expression is critical for normal fetal development. However, chromatin-related mechanisms that activate bone-specific programs during osteogenesis have remained underexplored. Therefore, we investigated the expression profiles of a large cohort of epigenetic regulators (>300) during osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal cells derived from the stromal vascular fraction of adipose tissue (AMSCs). Molecular analyses establish that the polycomb group protein EZH2 (enhancer of zeste homolog 2) is down-regulated during osteoblastic differentiation of AMSCs. Chemical inhibitor and siRNA knockdown studies show that EZH2, a histone methyltransferase that catalyzes trimethylation of histone 3 lysine 27 (H3K27me3), suppresses osteogenic differentiation. Blocking EZH2 activity promotes osteoblast differentiation and suppresses adipogenic differentiation of AMSCs. High throughput RNA sequence (mRNASeq) analysis reveals that EZH2 inhibition stimulates cell cycle inhibitory proteins and enhances the production of extracellular matrix proteins. Conditional genetic loss of Ezh2 in uncommitted mesenchymal cells (Prrx1-Cre) results in multiple defects in skeletal patterning and bone formation, including shortened forelimbs, craniosynostosis, and clinodactyly. Histological analysis and mRNASeq profiling suggest that these effects are attributable to growth plate abnormalities and premature cranial suture closure because of precocious maturation of osteoblasts. We conclude that the epigenetic activity of EZH2 is required for skeletal patterning and development, but EZH2 expression declines during terminal osteoblast differentiation and matrix production.

Abstract
Over the last two decades, a new therapeutic paradigm has emerged which has changed the way debilitating diseases may be treated in the future. Instead of using small-molecule drugs and devices to ameliorate the symptoms of disease, clinicians may harness the therapeutic power of cells to regenerate and cure diseases which currently represent a major unmet medical need. Advancements in the scientific knowledge of stem cell biology, along with highly encouraging preclinical proof-of-concept studies, in the last several years have served as a launch pad for testing such therapeutics in humans with life-threatening diseases. However, translating basic research findings into human therapy has not been straightforward and has presented many scientific, clinical, and regulatory challenges for scientists and clinicians. In this article, we provide a guidance framework for investigators for the design of early-phase clinical studies using stem cell-based therapeutics. Furthermore, important trial parameters and design features which must be considered before regulatory submission of such studies are highlighted.

Abstract
Background There is little information regarding the composition of peripheral blood immunity in sarcoma patients and even less in the context of pediatric sarcomas. We describe the immune status using flow cytometry of peripheral blood in patients with osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma and demonstrate excessive CD14 in tumor tissues. Methods Peripheral blood from patients with OS and ES was collected at diagnosis or relapse, and used for immune phenotyping of 74 different leukocyte phenotypes. Blood from young adult healthy volunteers was collected as controls. Tumor tissues were analyzed by immunohistochemistry. Results Nineteen patients (average age = 14 y) and 16 controls (average age = 25y) were enrolled on study. Of the 74 phenotypes, 14 were different between sarcoma patients and HV. Sarcoma patients’ leukocytes contained a higher percentage of granulocytes (67 % sarcoma vs. 58 % HV; p = 0.003) and fewer lymphocytes (20 % sarcoma vs. 27 % HV; p = 0.001). Increased expression of CTLA-4 was seen in both T cells in sarcoma patients as compared to HV (p = 0.05). Increased CD14+ HLA-DRlo/neg immunosuppressive monocytes were seen in sarcoma patients (p = 0.03); primarily seen in OS. Increased tumor necrosis factor receptor II expression was seen on CD14+ cells derived from sarcoma patients as compared to HV (p = 0.01). Massive infiltration of CD14+ cells was seen in OS (>50 % of cells in the majority of tumors) compared to ES (<10-25 % of cells). In contrast, both OS and ES had limited T cell infiltration (generally <10 % of cells). Conclusions Pediatric sarcoma patients exhibit several immune phenotypic differences that were exacerbated in more severe disease. These phenotypes have the potential to contribute to immune suppression and may indicate potential targets for immune therapies.

Abstract
PURPOSE Immunotherapeutic strategies to treat patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) offer new opportunities for disease management. Further improvements to immunotherapy will require additional understanding of the host response to RCC development. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Using a novel approach to understanding the immune status of cancer patients, we previously showed that patients with a certain immune profile had decreased overall survival. Here, we examine in more detail the phenotypic changes in peripheral blood and the potential consequences of these changes in RCC patients. RESULTS We found that CD14(+)HLA-DR(lo/neg) monocytes were the most predominant phenotypic change in peripheral blood of RCC patients, elevated nearly 5-fold above the average levels measured in healthy volunteers. Intratumoral and peritumoral presence of CD14 cells was an independent prognostic factor for decreased survival in a cohort of 375 RCC patients. The amount of peripheral blood CD14(+)HLA-DR(lo/neg) monocytes was found to correlate with the intensity of CD14 staining in tumors, suggesting that the measurement of these cells in blood may be a suitable surrogate for monitoring patient prognosis. The interaction of monocytes and tumor cells triggers changes in both cell types with a loss of HLA-DR expression in monocytes, increases of monocyte survival factors such as GM-CSF in tumors, and increased production of angiogenic factors, including FGF2. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest a model of mutually beneficial interactions between tumor cells and monocytes that adversely affect patient outcome.

Abstract
Improving the effectiveness of adipose-tissue derived human mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (AMSCs) for skeletal therapies requires a detailed characterization of mechanisms supporting cell proliferation and multi-potency. We investigated the molecular phenotype of AMSCs that were either actively proliferating in platelet lysate or in a basal non-proliferative state. Flow cytometry combined with high-throughput RNA sequencing (RNASeq) and RT-qPCR analyses validate that AMSCs express classic mesenchymal cell surface markers (e.g., CD44, CD73/NT5E, CD90/THY1, and CD105/ENG). Expression of CD90 is selectively elevated at confluence. Self-renewing AMSCs express a standard cell cycle program that successively mediates DNA replication, chromatin packaging, cyto-architectural enlargement, and mitotic division. Confluent AMSCs preferentially express genes involved in extracellular matrix (ECM) formation and cellular communication. For example, cell cycle-related biomarkers (e.g., cyclins E2 and B2, transcription factor E2F1) and histone-related genes (e.g., H4, HINFP, NPAT) are elevated in proliferating AMSCs, while ECM genes are strongly upregulated (>10-fold) in quiescent AMSCs. AMSCs also express pluripotency genes (e.g., POU5F1, NANOG, KLF4) and early mesenchymal markers (e.g., NES, ACTA2) consistent with their multipotent phenotype. Strikingly, AMSCs modulate expression of WNT signaling components and switch production of WNT ligands (from WNT5A/WNT5B/WNT7B to WNT2/WNT2B), while upregulating WNT-related genes (WISP2, SFRP2, and SFRP4). Furthermore, post-proliferative AMSCs spontaneously express fibroblastic, osteogenic, chondrogenic, and adipogenic biomarkers when maintained in confluent cultures. Our findings validate the biological properties of self-renewing and multi-potent AMSCs by providing high-resolution quality control data that support their clinical versatility.

Abstract
The development of flow cytometric biomarkers in human studies and clinical trials has been slowed by inconsistent sample processing, use of cell surface markers, and reporting of immunophenotypes. Additionally, the function(s) of distinct cell types as biomarkers cannot be accurately defined without the proper identification of homogeneous populations. As such, we developed a method for the identification and analysis of human leukocyte populations by the use of eight 10-color flow cytometric protocols in combination with novel software analyses. This method utilizes un-manipulated biological sample preparation that allows for the direct quantitation of leukocytes and non-overlapping immunophenotypes. We specifically designed myeloid protocols that enable us to define distinct phenotypes that include mature monocytes, granulocytes, circulating dendritic cells, immature myeloid cells, and myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSCs). We also identified CD123 as an additional distinguishing marker for the phenotypic characterization of immature LIN-CD33+HLA-DR- MDSCs. Our approach permits the comprehensive analysis of all peripheral blood leukocytes and yields data that is highly amenable for standardization across inter-laboratory comparisons for human studies.

These cells were directly immunosuppressive and were associated with poor clinical outcome. In this study, we found that lymphoma tumors could have more than 30% of their tumor occupied by CD14+ cells. This intimate spatial connection suggested substantial cell–cell communication. We examined cross talk between monocytes from healthy volunteers (normal) and lymphoma cells in co-culture to identify the mechanisms and consequences of these interactions. Normal CD14+HLA-DR+ monocytes lost their HLA-DR expression after co-culture with lymphoma cells. Lymphoma-converted CD14+HLA-DRlow/neg cells exhibited similar immunosuppressive functions as CD14+HLA-DRlow/neg monocytes from lymphoma patients. Unexpectedly monocyte additions to lymphoma cell cultures protected lymphoma from cytotoxic killing by chemotherapy drug doxorubicin (DOX). Monocyte mediated resistance to DOX killing was associated with decreased Caspase-3 activity and increased anti-apoptotic heat shock protein-27 (Hsp27) expression. Soluble Hsp27 was detected in supernatant and patient plasma. Increased Hsp27 in plasma correlated with increased proportion of CD14+HLA-DRlow/neg monocytes in patient blood and was associated with lack of clinical response to DOX. This is the first report to describe a non-immune function of CD14+HLA-DRlow/neg monocytes: enhanced lymphoma resistance to chemotherapy. It is also the first report in lymphoma of Hsp27 as a potential mediator of lymphoma and monocyte crosstalk and chemotherapy resistance. Together with previous reports of the prevalence of these myeloid suppressors in other cancers, our findings identify this pathway and these interactions as a potential novel therapeutic target.

Abstract
Human adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (AMSCs) grown in platelet lysate are promising agents for therapeutic tissue regeneration. Here, we investigated whether manipulation of epigenetic events by the clinically relevant histone deacetylase inhibitor suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) alters differentiation of AMSCs. The multipotency of AMSCs was validated by their ability to differentiate into osteogenic, chondrogenic, and adipogenic lineages. High-throughput RNA sequencing and RT-qPCR established that human histone deacetylases (HDAC1 to HDAC11, and SIRT1 to SIRT7) are differentially expressed in AMSCs. SAHA induces hyper-acetylation of histone H3 and H4, stimulates protein expression of the HDAC-responsive gene SLC9A3R1/NHERF1 and modulates the AKT/FOXO1 pathway. Biologically, SAHA interferes with osteogenic, chondrogenic and adipogenic lineage commitment of multipotent AMSCs. Mechanistically, SAHA-induced loss of differentiation potential of uncommitted AMSCs correlates with multiple changes in the expression of principal transcription factors that control mesenchymal or pluripotent states. We propose that SAHA destabilizes the multi-potent epigenetic state of uncommitted human AMSCs by hyper-acetylation and perturbation of key transcription factor pathways. Furthermore, AMSCs grown in platelet lysate may provide a useful biological model for screening of new HDAC inhibitors that control the biological fate of human mesenchymal stromal cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are no effective treatments that slow the progression of neurodegenerative diseases. A major challenge of treatment in neurodegenerative diseases is appropriate delivery of pharmaceuticals into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of affected individuals. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs-either naïve or modified) are a promising therapy in neurodegenerative diseases and may be delivered directly into the CSF where they can reside for months. In this preclinical study, we evaluated the safety of intrathecal autologous MSCs in a rabbit model. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS Autologous adipose-derived MSCs (or artificial CSF) were delivered intrathecally, either with single or with repeated injections into the foramen magnum of healthy rabbits and monitored for 4 and 12 weeks, respectively. RESULTS Rabbits tolerated injections well and no definitive MSC-related side effects were observed apart from three rabbits that had delayed death secondary to traumatic foramen magnum puncture. Functional assessments and body weights were equivalent between groups. Gross pathology and histology did not reveal any abnormalities or tumor growth. Complete blood count data were normal and there were no differences in CSF interleukin-6 levels in all groups tested. CONCLUSION Our data suggest that intrathecal delivery of autologous MSCs is safe in a rabbit model. Data from this study have supported two successful investigational new drug applications to the Food and Drug Administration, resulting in the initiation of two clinical trials using autologous MSCs in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and multiple system atrophy.

Abstract
MicroRNA-26a (miR-26a) is a post-transcriptional regulator that inhibits cellular differentiation and apoptosis. Renal vascular disease (RVD) induces ischemic injury characterized by tubular cell apoptosis and interstitial fibrosis. We hypothesized that miR-26a levels are reduced in the poststenotic kidney and that kidney repair achieved by adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ad-MSCs) is associated with restored miR-26a levels. Renal function and renal miR-26a levels were assessed in pigs with RVD not treated (n=7) or 4 weeks after intrarenal infusion of ad-MSC (2.5×10(5) cells/kg; n=6), patients with RVD (n=12) or essential hypertension (n=12), and healthy volunteers (n=12). In addition, the direct effect of miR-26a on apoptosis was evaluated in a renal tubular cell culture. Compared with healthy control kidneys, swine and human poststenotic kidneys had 45.5±4.3% and 90.0±3.5% lower levels of miR-26a, respectively, which in pigs, localized to the proximal tubules. In pigs, ad-MSC delivery restored tubular miR-26a expression, attenuated tubular apoptosis and interstitial fibrosis, and improved renal function and tubular oxygen-dependent function. In vitro, miR-26a inhibition induced proximal tubular cell apoptosis and upregulated proapoptotic protein expression, which were both rescued by ad-MSC. In conclusion, decreased tubular miR-26a expression in the poststenotic kidney may be responsible for tubular cell apoptosis and renal dysfunction but can be restored using ad-MSC. Therefore, miR-26a might be a novel therapeutic target in renovascular disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Flow cytometry is the gold standard for phenotyping and quantifying immune cells. New technologies have greatly increased our capacity to measure both routine and complex immunophenotypes. The reporting of immunophenotype data is not consistent in human studies yet it is quite critical for understanding disease specific changes, responses to immunotherapies, and normal immune homeostasis. Here we examine the barriers that hinder cross comparisons of flow cytometry data collected from human studies and clinical trials. FINDINGS We demonstrate that phenotypes reported as percentages within a cell compartment (i.e. myeloid derived suppressor cells as a percent of mononuclear cells) without providing data on the parent population may contribute to misleading conclusions. The enumeration of phenotypes as cell counts (cells/μl) provides a basis to more accurately compare the relationships among phenotypes. Finally, we provide evidence that density gradient centrifugation, which eliminates the ability to measure phenotypes as cell counts, can affect the expression of surface markers and consequently alter the distribution of particular immunophenotypes. CONCLUSIONS We propose that by measuring immunophenotypes as cell counts from minimally manipulated samples (whole blood) will improve the reporting of flow data and facilitate more direct comparisons of data across human studies.

Abstract
Introduction:
Arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) used for hemodialysis vascular access will fail because of venous neointimal hyperplasia (VNH) that causes stenosis formation at the venous outflow tract. As a result, only 60% of all AVFs are patent at 1-year. There are several factors which have been hypothesized to contribute to VNH including shear stress, hypoxia, and both local and systemic inflammation. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been demonstrated to reduce inflammation while having antiproliferitive properties that aid abrogating vascular injury.
Hypothesis:
We hypothesized that adventitial transplantation of human adipose derived MSCs to the outflow vein of AVF created in CD1-FoxN1 would attenuate VNH failure by reducing pro-inflammatory mediators including tissue necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β).
Methods:
Adventitial transplantation of human MSC was performed in CD1-FoxN1 mice. A carotid artery to ipsilateral jugular AVF was placed and animals were divided into three groups: MSCs (M), CorMatrix ECM scaffold (S, CorMatrix Scaffold, Roswell, GE), or scaffold embedded with 250,000 MSCs (S+M) which were delivered to the adventitia. The mice were then sacrificed at 7 and 28 days post AVF placement and the outflow veins were harvested for histomorphometric and qPCR expression analysis.
Results:
The average lumen vessel area was significantly increased in the outflow veins removed from the S + M group compared to S or M alone at days 7 and 21 (both, P<0.05). The average area of neointima was significantly decreased in the S+M group when compared to S or M groups (P<0.05) while cell density and Ki-67 index were also significantly decreased at day 7 between S and S+M groups (P<0.05). RNA expression analysis revealed that MCP-1, IL-1β, and TNF-α were all significantly decreased in the outflow vein removed from the S+M group when compared to the S or M group (P<0.05).
Conclusion:
Adventitial transplantation of MSCs to the outflow vein of the AVF at the time of placement attenuates VNH mediated through a reduction of MCP-1, IL-1β, and TNF-α.

Abstract
Dendritic cells are an important target in cancer immunotherapy based on their critical role in antigen presentation and response to tumor development. The capacity of dendritic cells to stimulate anti-tumor immunity has led investigators to use these cells to mediate anti-tumor responses in a number of clinical trials. However, these trials have had mixed results. The typical method for generation of ex vivo dendritic cells starts with the purification of CD14(+) cells. Our studies identified a deficiency in the ability to generate mature dendritic cell using CD14(+) cells from cancer patients that corresponded with an increased population of monocytes with altered surface marker expression (CD14(+)HLA-DR(lo/neg)). Further studies identified systemic immune suppression and increased concentrations of CD14(+)HLA-DR(lo/neg) monocytes capable of inhibiting T-cell proliferation and DC maturation. Together, these findings strongly suggest that protocols aimed at immune stimulation via monocytes/dendritic cells, if optimized on normal monocytes or in systems without these suppressive monocytes, are unlikely to engender effective DC maturation in vitro or efficiently trigger DC maturation in vivo. This highlights the importance of developing optimal protocols for stimulating DCs in the context of significantly altered monocyte phenotypes often seen in cancer patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We tested the hypothesis that a novel vaccine developed from autologous dendritic cells (DC) loaded with cells from a unique allogeneic brain tumor cell line (GBM6-AD) would be well-tolerated and would generate an immune response. METHOD Patients with recurrent primary brain tumors underwent vaccination with GBM6-AD/DC vaccine. Subjects were treated at escalating DC cell doses: 5 × 10(6) (one patient), 10 × 10(6) (one patient) and 15 × 10(6) (6 patients). Subcutaneous injections were planned for days 0, 14, 28, 42, 56, and monthly thereafter. The primary endpoint was the safety of the GBM6-AD/DC vaccination. The secondary endpoints were immune response, measured by flow cytometry, and the clinical outcome of tumor response defined by time to progression and overall survival. RESULTS Eight patients were treated. The first three patients were treated in the dose escalation phase of the trial; the remaining five patients received the maximum dose of 15 × 10(6) DC. No dose limiting toxicity was observed. The best response per modified McDonald criteria was partial response in one patient. Flow cytometric immune profiling revealed significant differences in CD4(+)IL17(+) lymphocytes and myeloid derived suppressor cell populations between patients characterized as having stable vs. non-stable disease. CONCLUSION This first-in-human study shows that the GBM6-AD/DC vaccine was well tolerated and was associated with an immune response in a subset of patients. No MTD was achieved in this trial. This small-scale pilot provides information for larger scale investigations into the use of this allogeneic vaccine source.

Abstract
Monocytes may contribute to tumor progression in part by mediating tumor-induced immunosuppression. Alterations to the monocyte populations and functions in untreated patients with late-stage melanoma are not fully understood. To characterize these alterations, we compared the frequency, phenotype, and functional capacity of peripheral blood monocytes and other myeloid cells in untreated, newly diagnosed stage IV melanoma patients (n = 18) with those in healthy volunteers. Stage IV untreated melanoma patients exhibited a sizeable decrease in the percentage of monocytes (P < 0.0001) that included a drop in the percentage of the CD14(+)CD16(-) classical monocyte pool (P = 0.006). Although there was not a significant difference in the CD14(+)HLA-DR(low/-) monocyte population between the patients with melanoma and the healthy volunteers, the HLA-DR levels were considerably lower in the patients' CD14(+)CD16(+) intermediate (P < 0.0001) and CD14(low)CD16(+) nonclassical monocyte populations (P = 0.001). Decreased surface expression of CD86 (P = 0.0006) and TNFRII (P = 0.0001) and increased expression of tissue factor and PD-L1 (P = 0.003) were identified on monocytes from patients with melanoma. Furthermore, these monocytes had decreased ability to upregulate CD80 expression and cytokine production following stimulation with agonist of Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3). Peripheral blood dendritic cell subsets were decreased in untreated stage IV melanoma patients. Our study demonstrates that untreated late-stage melanoma patients exhibit monocytopenia in addition to phenotypic and functional deficiencies that may negatively affect their immune function. These findings open new avenues into examining the role of monocyte populations in melanoma development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Renal parenchymal inflammation is a critical determinant of kidney injury in renal artery stenosis (RAS) but is difficult to assess in the single kidney without tissue samples. Whether renal vein (RV) levels of inflammatory markers reflect active parenchymal inflammation remains unknown. We evaluated the relationship between net RV cytokine release and tissue inflammation in the post-stenotic kidney. METHODS Pigs were studied after 10 weeks of RAS treated 4 weeks earlier with intra-renal vehicle or anti-inflammatory mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) or normal control. Single-kidney renal blood flow was measured by fast computerized tomography. RV and inferior vena cava levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interferon (IF)-γ, monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP-1) and interleukin (IL)-10 were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and their net release calculated. Renal expression of the same cytokines was correlated with their net release. RESULTS Net release of TNF-α, IF-γ and MCP-1 was higher in RAS compared with normal and to the contralateral kidney (all P<0.05), decreased in MSC-treated pigs as was their tissue expression. Contrarily, the release of the anti-inflammatory IL-10 was lower in RAS and normalized in RAS+MSC. The net release of TNF-α, MCP-1 and IL-10 directly correlated with their tissue expression. The ratio of inflammatory-to-reparative macrophages directly correlated with the release of MCP-1, but inversely with the release of IL-10. In vitro cultured MSCs also induced a shift in the macrophage phenotype from inflammatory (M1) to reparative (M2). CONCLUSIONS Our findings demonstrate that the release of inflammatory markers from the affected kidney provides an index of renal tissue inflammation in experimental RAS.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Current options to prevent ovarian and breast cancer recurrence are limited. However, signs of anti-tumor immunity are associated with improved survival in patients who have experienced a number of different malignancies. After identifying folate receptor alpha (FR)-derived class II-binding peptides recognized by lymphocytes from patients who previously had breast or ovarian cancer, we developed a multi-peptide vaccine with five peptides, each of which was recognized by more than 25% of the patients. We combined this vaccine with metronomic cyclophosphamide in an attempt to selectively reduce T regulatory cells in the periphery and the tumor microenvironment.
Methods: We obtained an Investigational New Drug approval from the Food and Drug Administration to perform a phase I study in 22 patients who were currently in remission from their breast or ovarian cancer. Participants were required to be at least 90 days past any treatment for their disease (other than hormonal treatment, if applicable) and show no current evidence of disease. After 28 days of metronomic cyclophosphamide, six monthly intradermal injections of the vaccine were given. The primary endpoints of the trial are safety and immunogenicity.
Results: To date, 15 of 22 patients have enrolled (7 breast and 8 ovarian cancer patients). 4 breast and 2 ovarian cancer patients are available for toxicity evaluation. No serious major adverse events have been observed, with the expected injection site reactions being the primary toxicity experienced by most participants; grade 2 decreased white blood cell counts were observed in 3 patients at completion of cyclophosphamide. Two patients went off study prior to completing all six vaccinations, one for vision changes, and one for disease progression. Immune monitoring is underway, with major assays being ELISAs for high-affinity IgG targeting the FR and FR-peptide specific ELIspots. These data will be presented at the meeting.
Conclusions: Metronomic cyclophosphamide followed by intradermal vaccinations with a multi-peptide vaccine targeting the tumor antigen FR appears to be a tolerable regimen at this preliminary point of the study. With the exception of vision changes in one patient, no serious safety concerns have arisen. Pursuit of this strategy in further clinical study will require demonstration of FR-specific immune responses, an acceptable toxicity profile, and demonstration that T regulatory cells are altered in the periphery.

Abstract
Background We have developed a novel approach to categorize immunity in patients that uses a combination of whole blood flow cytometry and hierarchical clustering. Methods Our approach was based on determining the number (cells/μl) of the major leukocyte subsets in unfractionated, whole blood using quantitative flow cytometry. These measurements were performed in 40 healthy volunteers and 120 patients with glioblastoma, renal cell carcinoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, ovarian cancer or acute lung injury. After normalization, we used unsupervised hierarchical clustering to sort individuals by similarity into discreet groups we call immune profiles. Results Five immune profiles were identified. Four of the diseases tested had patients distributed across at least four of the profiles. Cancer patients found in immune profiles dominated by healthy volunteers showed improved survival (p < 0.01). Clustering objectively identified relationships between immune markers. We found a positive correlation between the number of granulocytes and immunosuppressive CD14+HLA-DRlo/neg monocytes and no correlation between CD14+HLA-DRlo/neg monocytes and Lin-CD33+HLA-DR- myeloid derived suppressor cells. Clustering analysis identified a potential biomarker predictive of survival across cancer types consisting of the ratio of CD4+ T cells/μl to CD14+HLA-DRlo/neg monocytes/μL of blood. Conclusions Comprehensive multi-factorial immune analysis resulting in immune profiles were prognostic, uncovered relationships among immune markers and identified a potential biomarker for the prognosis of cancer. Immune profiles may be useful to streamline evaluation of immune modulating therapies and continue to identify immune based biomarkers.

In preparation for a clinical trial to use MSC as MV carriers, we obtained cells from ovarian cancer patients and evaluated feasibility and safety of this approach. Methods MSC from adipose tissues of healthy donors (hMSC) and nine ovarian cancer patients (ovMSC) were characterized for susceptibility to virus infection and tumor homing abilities. Results Adipose tissue (range 0.16-3.96 grams) from newly diagnosed and recurrent ovarian cancer patients yielded about 7.41×106 cells at passage 1 (range 4–9 days). Phenotype and doubling times of MSC were similar between ovarian patients and healthy controls. The time to harvest of 3.0×108 cells (clinical dose) could be achieved by day 14 (range, 9–17 days). Two of nine samples tested had an abnormal karyotype represented by trisomy 20. Despite receiving up to 1.6×109 MSC/kg, no tumors were seen in SCID beige mice and MSC did not promote the growth of SKOV3 human ovarian cancer cells in mice. The ovMSC migrated towards primary ovarian cancer samples in chemotaxis assays and to ovarian tumors in athymic mice. Using non-invasive SPECT-CT imaging, we saw rapid co-localization, within 5–8 minutes of intraperitoneal administration of MV infected MSC to the ovarian tumors. Importantly, MSC can be pre-infected with MV, stored in liquid nitrogen and thawed on the day of infusion into mice without loss of activity. MV infected MSC, but not virus alone, significantly prolonged the survival of measles immune ovarian cancer bearing animals. Conclusions These studies confirmed the feasibility of using patient derived MSC as carriers for oncolytic MV therapy. We propose an approach where MSC from ovarian cancer patients will be expanded, frozen and validated to ensure compliance with the release criteria. On the treatment day, the cells will be thawed, washed, mixed with virus, briefly centrifuged and incubated for 2 hours with virus prior to infusion of the virus/MSC cocktail into patients.

Abstract
Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF) are abundant in the stroma of desmoplastic cancers where they promote tumor progression. CAFs are "activated" and as such may be uniquely susceptible to apoptosis. Using cholangiocarcinoma as a desmoplastic tumor model, we investigated the sensitivity of liver CAFs to the cytotoxic drug navitoclax, a BH3 mimetic. Navitoclax induced apoptosis in CAF and in myofibroblastic human hepatic stellate cells but lacked similar effects in quiescent fibroblasts or cholangiocarcinoma cells. Unlike cholangiocarcinoma cells, neither CAF nor quiescent fibroblasts expressed Mcl-1, a known resistance factor for navitoclax cytotoxicity. Explaining this paradox, we found that mitochondria isolated from CAFs or cells treated with navitoclax both released the apoptogenic factors Smac and cytochrome c, suggesting that they are primed for cell death. Such death priming in CAFs appeared to be due, in part, to upregulation of the proapoptotic protein Bax. Short hairpin RNA-mediated attenuation of Bax repressed navitoclax-mediated mitochondrial dysfunction, release of apoptogenic factors, and apoptotic cell death. In a syngeneic rat model of cholangiocarcinoma, navitoclax treatment triggered CAF apoptosis, diminishing expression of the desmoplastic extracellular matrix protein tenascin C, suppressing tumor outgrowth, and improving host survival. Together, our findings argue that navitoclax may be useful for destroying CAFs in the tumor microenvironment as a general strategy to attack solid tumors.

Abstract
Long-term culture of hepatocyte spheroids with high ammonia clearance is valuable for therapeutic applications, especially the bioartificial liver. However, the optimal conditions are not well studied. We hypothesized that liver urea cycle enzymes can be induced by high protein diet and maintain on a higher expression level in rat hepatocyte spheroids by serum-free medium (SFM) culture and coculture with mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs). Rats were feed normal protein diet (NPD) or high protein diet (HPD) for 7 days before liver digestion and isolation of hepatocytes. Hepatocyte spheroids were formed and maintained in a rocked suspension culture with or without MSCs in SFM or 10% serum-containing medium (SCM). Spheroid viability, kinetics of spheroid formation, hepatic functions, gene expression, and biochemical activities of rat hepatocyte spheroids were tested over 14 days of culture. We observed that urea cycle enzymes of hepatocyte spheroids can be induced by high protein diet. SFM and MSCs enhanced ammonia clearance and ureagenesis and stabilized integrity of hepatocyte spheroids compared to control conditions over 14 days. Hepatocytes from high protein diet-fed rats formed spheroids and maintained a high level of ammonia detoxification for over 14 days in a novel SFM. Hepatic functionality and spheroid integrity were further stabilized by coculture of hepatocytes with MSCs in the spheroid microenvironment. These findings have direct application to development of the spheroid reservoir bioartificial liver.

Abstract
Tumor cells aberrantly express several T cell inhibitory molecules including members of the B7-H co-regulatory family. Presumably tumor-expressed B7-H1 and B7-H3 confer resistance to elimination by the immune system. In addition, elevated levels of soluble B7-H1 (sB7-H1) has been identified in the sera of cancer patients, including renal carcinoma patients and is associated with increased cancer related death. Here we report that sB7-H1 is produced and released by activated mature dendritic cells (mDC). Immature DC, macrophages, monocytes, or T cells are refractory to releasing sB7-H1. Exposure of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells to mDC-derived sB7-H1 molecules induced apoptosis. These data suggest that the immunobiology of B7-H1 is perhaps more complex than previously thought. sB7-H1 molecules may represent an unanticipated contributing factor to immune homeostasis. That both immune and tumor cells can be sources of sB7-H1 suggests that optimization of co-regulatory blockade immunotherapy for solid malignancies of necessity will require impact of targeting tumor and immune-derived B7-H1 molecules.

Abstract
Introduction The induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology allows generation of patient-specific pluripotent stem cells, thereby providing a novel cell-therapy platform for severe degenerative diseases. One of the key issues for clinical-grade iPSC derivation is the accessibility of donor cells used for reprogramming. Methods We examined the feasibility of reprogramming mobilized GMP-grade hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and tested the pluripotency of derived iPS clones. Results Ectopic expression of OCT4, SOX2, KLF4, and c-MYC in HPCs and PBMCs resulted in rapid iPSC derivation. Long-term time-lapse imaging revealed efficient iPSC growth under serum- and feeder-free conditions with frequent mitotic events. HPC- and PBMC-derived iPS cells expressed pluripotency-associated markers, including SSEA-4, TRA-1-60, and NANOG. The global gene-expression profiles demonstrated the induction of endogenous pluripotent genes, such as LIN28, TERT, DPPA4, and PODXL, in derived iPSCs. iPSC clones from blood and other cell sources showed similar ultrastructural morphologies and genome-wide gene-expression profiles. On spontaneous and guided differentiation, HPC- and PBMC-derived iPSCs were differentiated into cells of three germ layers, including insulin-producing cells through endodermal lineage, verifying the pluripotency of the blood-derived iPSC clones. Conclusions Because the use of blood cells allows minimally invasive tissue procurement under GMP conditions and rapid cellular reprogramming, mobilized HPCs and unmobilized PBMCs would be ideal somatic cell sources for clinical-grade iPSC derivation, especially from diabetes patients complicated by slow-healing wounds.

Abstract
Malignant gliomas are the most common and aggressive form of brain tumors. Current therapy consists of surgical resection, followed by radiation therapy and concomitant chemotherapy. Despite these treatments, the prognosis for patients is poor. As such, investigative therapies including tumor vaccines have targeted this devastating condition. Recent clinical trials involving immunotherapy, specifically dendritic cell (DC) based vaccines, have shown promising results. Overall, these vaccines are well tolerated with few documented side effects. In many patients receiving vaccines, tumor progression was delayed and the median overall survival of these patients was prolonged. Despite these encouraging results, several factors have limited the efficacy of DC vaccines. Here we discuss the potential of DC vaccines as adjuvant therapy and current obstacles of generating highly pure and potent DC vaccines in the context of malignant glioma. Taken together, the results from earlier clinical studies justify additional clinical trials aimed at improving the efficacy of DC vaccines.

Abstract
With favorable regenerative and immunotolerant profiles, patient-derived human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) are increasingly considered in cell therapy. Derived from bone marrow (BM) and standardized with culture in fetal bovine serum (FBS), translation of hMSC-based approaches is impeded by protracted expansion times, risk of xenogenic response, and exposure to zoonoses. Here, human platelet lysate adherent to good manufacturing practices (GMP-hPL) provided a nonzoonotic adjuvant that enhanced the capacity of BM-hMSC to proliferate. The nurturing benefit of GMP-hPL was generalized to hMSC from adipose tissue evaluated as an alternative to bone marrow. Long-term culture in GMP-hPL maintained the multipotency of hMSC, while protecting against clonal chromosomal instability detected in the FBS milieu. Proteomic dissection identified TGF-β, VEGF, PDGF, FGF, and EGF as highly ranked effectors of hPL activity, revealing a paradigm of healing that underlies platelet lysate adjuvancy. Thus, GMP-adherent human platelet lysate accelerates hMSC proliferation with no chromosomal aberrancy, through an innate repair paradigm.

Abstract
PURPOSE The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) functions within the phosphoinositide 3-kinase/Akt signaling pathway as a critical modulator of cell survival. METHODS The mTOR inhibitor temsirolimus (CCI-779) was combined with chemoradiotherapy in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) patients in a dose-escalation phase I trial. The first 12 patients were treated with CCI-779 combined with radiation/temozolomide and adjuvant temozolomide. A second cohort of 13 patients was treated with concurrent CCI-779/radiation/temozolomide followed by adjuvant temozolomide monotherapy. RESULTS Concomitant and adjuvant CCI-779 was associated with a high rate (3 of 12 patients) of grade 4/5 infections. By limiting CCI-779 treatment to the radiation/temozolomide phase and using antibiotic prophylaxis, the rate of infections was reduced, although 2 of 13 patients developed exacerbation of pre-existing fungal or viral infections. Dose-limiting toxicities were observed in 2 of 13 patients with this modified schedule. Weekly CCI-779 (50 mg/week) combined with radiation/temozolomide is the recommended phase II dose and schedule. The immune profile of patients in the second cohort was assessed before, during, and after CCI-779 therapy. There was robust suppression of helper and cytotoxic T cells, B cells, natural killer, cells and elevation of regulatory T cells during CCI-779/radiation/temozolomide therapy with recovery to baseline levels during adjuvant temozolomide of cytotoxic T cells, natural killer cells, and regulatory T cells. CONCLUSIONS The increased infection rate observed with CCI-779 combined with chemoradiotherapy in GBM was reduced with antibiotic prophylaxis and by limiting the duration of CCI-779 therapy. The combined suppressive effects of CCI-779 and temozolomide therapy on discrete immune compartments likely contributed to the increased infectious risks observed.

Abstract
Abstract
Patients with glioblastoma (GBM) exhibit profound systemic immune defects that affect the success of traditional and immune-based treatments. A better understanding of the contribution of the tumor and therapy on systemic and local immune suppression is necessary to improve immune based therapies and monitor the effects of conventional and novel therapies. To identify possible sources of immunosuppression, we measured the constituents of circulating immunity in newly diagnosed and recurrent GBM patients with or without dexamethasone treatment. We identified dexamethasone dependent and independent changes in systemic immunity associated with GBM. Of note, we identified a profound lymphopenia associated with dexamethasone treatement that manifested itself in the T cell compartment with targeted effects on the CD4+ T cells. In addition, we identified tumor and dexamethasone dependent altered monocyte phenotypes. The major population of altered monocytes (CD14+HLA-DRlo/neg) inhibited T cell proliferation, was unable to fully differentiate into mature dendritic cells, was associated with dexamethasone-mediated changes in CCL2 levels, and could be re-created in vitro using tumor supernatants. Interestingly, CD14+HLA-DRlo/neg monocytes were elevated similarly in newly diagnosed and recurrent patients. These data demonstrate that both tumor and steroids contribute to systemic immunosuppression. We provide evidence that tumors express high levels of the monocyte recruitment chemokine CCL2, can contain high numbers of CD14+ cells, that tumor supernatants can transform CD14+HLA-DR+ cells into CD14+HLA-DRlo/neg immune suppressors, and that dexamethasone reduces CCL2 in vitro and is correlated with reduction of CCL2 in vivo. Consequently, we have developed a model for tumor mediated systemic immune suppression via recruitment and transformation of CD14+ cells.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine if the levels of circulating myeloid-derived suppressor cells increase with progression of prostate cancer (PCa); to determine if such cells could contribute to the relative inefficiency of PCa immunotherapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS We analyzed peripheral blood mononuclear cells isolated from untreated PCa patients (uPCa; N = 18; mean age +/- SD: 72.1 +/- 6.9 years), tPCa (N = 22; 72.8 +/- 9.8 years) and age matched controls (AMC; N = 12; 68.8 +/- 7.5 years). We quantified surface marker phenotype, differentiation potential, effects on T cell proliferation and intracellular cytokines. RESULTS We observed an unexpectedly high percentage of a type of myeloid-derived suppressor cells, CD14(+)HLA-DR(low/-) monocytes, in tPCa (30.7 +/- 15.0% of CD14(+) cells) relative to AMC (4.1 +/- 6.5%, P < 0.0001) and uPCa (10.6 +/- 14.3%, P = 0.0001). The levels of CD14(+) HLA-DR(low/-) cells were significantly correlated with circulating PSA levels and treatment with LHRH-agonist leuprolide in combination with either an antiandrogen or dexamethasone. Monocytes from tPCa inhibited autologous T cell proliferation statistically significantly more effectively than AMC monocytes and were defective in their ability to differentiate into phenotypically mature dendritic cells. Isolated CD14(+)HLA-DR(low/-) cells expressed higher levels of intracellular interleukin-10 and suppressed T cell proliferation more effectively than isolated CD14(+)HLA-DR(+) cells. CONCLUSIONS This is the first report of CD14(+) cells exhibiting reduced expression of HLA-DR molecules in PCa patients. These cells suppress immune cell function in vitro and, plausibly, in vivo, a finding that must be factored into the design of immunotherapy protocols for PCa patients.

Abstract
Patients with glioblastoma (GBM) exhibit profound systemic immune defects that affect the success of conventional and immune-based treatments. A better understanding of the contribution of the tumor and/or therapy on systemic immune suppression is necessary for improved therapies, to monitor negative effects of novel treatments, to improve patient outcomes, and to increase understanding of this complex system. To characterize the immune profile of GBM patients, we phenotyped peripheral blood and compared these to normal donors. In doing so, we identified changes in systemic immunity associated with both the tumor and dexamethasone treated tumor bearing patients. In particular, dexamethasone exacerbated tumor associated lymphopenia primarily in the T cell compartment. We have also identified unique tumor and dexamethasone dependent altered monocyte phenotypes. The major population of altered monocytes (CD14(+)HLA-DR(lo/neg)) had a phenotype distinct from classical myeloid suppressor cells. These cells inhibited T cell proliferation, were unable to fully differentiate into mature dendritic cells, were associated with dexamethasone-mediated changes in CCL2 levels, and could be re-created in vitro using tumor supernatants. We provide evidence that tumors express high levels of CCL2, can contain high numbers of CD14(+) cells, that tumor supernatants can transform CD14(+)HLA-DR(+) cells into CD14(+)HLA-DR(lo/neg) immune suppressors, and that dexamethasone reduces CCL2 in vitro and is correlated with reduction of CCL2 in vivo. Consequently, we have developed a model for tumor mediated systemic immune suppression via recruitment and transformation of CD14(+) cells.

Abstract
Glioblastoma patients are immunosuppressed, yet glioblastomas are highly infiltrated by monocytes/macrophages. Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC; immunosuppressive myeloid cells including monocytes) have been identified in other cancers and correlate with tumor burden. We hypothesized that glioblastoma exposure causes normal monocytes to assume an MDSC-like phenotype and that MDSC are increased in glioblastoma patients. Healthy donor human CD14(+) monocytes were cultured with human glioblastoma cell lines. Controls were cultured alone or with normal human astrocytes. After 48 hours, glioblastoma-conditioned monocytes (GCM) were purified using magnetic beads. GCM cytokine and costimulatory molecular expression, phagocytic ability, and ability to induce apoptosis in activated lymphocytes were assessed. The frequency of MDSC was assessed by flow cytometry in glioma patients' blood and in GCM in vitro. As predicted, GCM have immunosuppressive, MDSC-like features, including reduced CD14 (but not CD11b) expression, increased immunosuppressive interleukin-10, transforming growth factor-beta, and B7-H1 expression, decreased phagocytic ability, and increased ability to induce apoptosis in activated lymphocytes. Direct contact between monocytes and glioblastoma cells is necessary for complete induction of these effects. In keeping with our hypothesis, glioblastoma patients have increased circulating MDSC compared with normal donors and MDSC are increased in glioma-conditioned monocytes in vitro. To our knowledge, this has not been reported previously. Although further study is needed to directly characterize their origin and function in glioblastoma patients, these results suggest that MDSC may be an important contributor to systemic immunosuppression and can be modeled in vitro by GCM.

Abstract
PURPOSE Preexisting antiviral antibodies in cancer patients can quickly neutralize oncolytic measles virus (MV) and decrease its antitumor potency. In contrast to "naked" viruses, cell-associated viruses are protected from antibody neutralization. Hence, we hypothesized that measles virotherapy of ovarian cancer in measles-immune mice might be superior if MV-infected mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) carriers are used. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Antimeasles antibodies titers in ovarian cancer patients were determined. The protection of MV by MSC from antimeasles antibodies, the in vivo biodistribution profiles, and tumor infiltration capability of MSC were determined. Measles-naïve or immune tumor-bearing mice were treated with naked virus or MSC-associated virus and mice survivals were compared. RESULTS MSC transferred MV infection to target cells via cell-to-cell heterofusion and induced syncytia formation in the presence of high titers of antimeasles antibody, at levels that completely inactivated naked virus. Athymic mice bearing i.p. human SKOV3ip.1 ovarian tumor xenografts passively immunized with measles-immune human serum were treated with saline, naked MV, or MV-infected MSC. Bioluminescent and fluorescent imaging data indicated that i.p. administered MSC localized to peritoneal tumors, infiltrated into the tumor parenchyma, and transferred virus infection to tumors in measles naïve and passively immunized mice. Survival of the measles-immune mice was significantly enhanced by treatment with MV-infected MSC. In contrast, survivals of passively immunized mice were not prolonged by treatment with naked virus or uninfected MSC. CONCLUSIONS MSC should be used as carriers of MV for intraperitoneal virotherapy in measles-immune ovarian cancer patients.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of malignant effusions in cancer patients. Pleural effusion indicates incurable disease with limited palliative treatment options and poor outcome. Here, we demonstrate the therapeutic efficacy of measles virus (MV) vaccine strain derivative against malignant pleural effusion in an MDA-MB-231 xenograft model of advanced breast cancer. Both systemic intravenous (i.v.) and intrapleural (t.t.) administered virus caused massive infection and syncytia formation in the pleural tumor deposits. Intrapleural administration of 1.5 x 10(6) plaque-forming units (PFU) total dose of MV significantly improved median survival by approximately 80% compared to the control animal group. Furthermore, we tested human dendritic cells as carriers for delivery of oncolytic MV infection to breast cancer pleural metastases. Carrier-delivered MV infection prevented accumulation of the pleural exudate and also significantly improved the survival of the treated mice. This is the first demonstration of the therapeutic potential of oncolytic virotherapy against malignant pleural effusions in a pre-clinical model of advanced breast cancer.

Abstract
It was hypothesized that contact between chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) B-cells and marrow stromal cells impact both cell types. To test this hypothesis, we utilized a long-term primary culture system from bone biopsies that reliably generates a mesenchymal stem cell (MSC). Co-culture of MSC with CLL B-cells protected the latter from both spontaneous apoptosis and drug-induced apoptosis. The CD38 expression in previously CD38 positive CLL B-cells was up-regulated with MSC co-culture. Upregulation of CD71, CD25, CD69 and CD70 in CLL B-cells was found in the co-culture. CD71 upregulation was more significantly associated with high-risk CLL, implicating CD71 regulation in the microenvironment predicting disease progression. In MSC, rapid ERK and AKT phosphorylation (within 30 min) were detected when CLL B-cells and MSC were separated by transwell; indicating that activation of MSC was mediated by soluble factors. These findings support a bi-directional activation between bone marrow stromal cells and CLL B-cells.
