Abstract
INTRODUCTION As one of the major components of the tumor microenvironment, tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) possess profound inhibitory activity against T cells and facilitate tumor escape from immune checkpoint blockade therapy. Converting this pro-tumorigenic toward the anti-tumorigenic phenotype thus is an important strategy for enhancing adaptive immunity against cancer. However, a plethora of mechanisms have been described for pro-tumorigenic differentiation in cancer, metabolic switches to program the anti-tumorigenic property of TAMs are elusive. MATERIALS AND METHODS From an unbiased analysis of single-cell transcriptome data from multiple tumor models, we discovered that anti-tumorigenic TAMs uniquely express elevated levels of a specific fatty acid receptor, G-protein-coupled receptor 84 (GPR84). Genetic ablation of GPR84 in mice leads to impaired pro-inflammatory polarization of macrophages, while enhancing their anti-inflammatory phenotype. By contrast, GPR84 activation by its agonist, 6-n-octylaminouracil (6-OAU), potentiates pro-inflammatory phenotype via the enhanced STAT1 pathway. Moreover, 6-OAU treatment significantly retards tumor growth and increases the anti-tumor efficacy of anti-PD-1 therapy. CONCLUSION Overall, we report a previously unappreciated fatty acid receptor, GPR84, that serves as an important metabolic sensing switch for orchestrating anti-tumorigenic macrophage polarization. Pharmacological agonists of GPR84 hold promise to reshape and reverse the immunosuppressive TME, and thereby restore responsiveness of cancer to overcome resistance to immune checkpoint blockade.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Omicron variant is highly transmissible and evades pre-established immunity. Messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccination against ancestral strain spike protein can induce intact T-cell immunity against the Omicron variant, but efficacy of booster vaccination in patients with late-stage lung cancer on immune-modulating agents including anti-programmed cell death protein 1(PD-1)/programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) has not yet been elucidated. METHODS We assessed T-cell responses using a modified activation-induced marker assay, coupled with high-dimension flow cytometry analyses. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were stimulated with various viral peptides and antigen-specific T-cell responses were evaluated using flow cytometry. RESULTS Booster vaccines induced CD8+ T-cell response against the ancestral SARS-CoV-2 strain and Omicron variant in both non-cancer subjects and patients with lung cancer, but only a marginal induction was detected for CD4+ T cells. Importantly, antigen-specific T cells from patients with lung cancer showed distinct subpopulation dynamics with varying degrees of differentiation compared with non-cancer subjects, with evidence of dysfunction. Notably, female-biased T-cell responses were observed. CONCLUSION We conclude that patients with lung cancer on immunotherapy show a substantial qualitative deviation from non-cancer subjects in their T-cell response to mRNA vaccines, highlighting the need for heightened protective measures for patients with cancer to minimize the risk of breakthrough infection with the Omicron and other future variants.

Abstract
We assessed vaccine-induced antibody responses to the SARS-CoV-2 ancestral virus and Omicron variant before and after booster immunization in 57 patients with B cell malignancies. Over one-third of vaccinated patients at the pre-booster time point were seronegative, and these patients were predominantly on active cancer therapies such as anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody. While booster immunization was able to induce detectable antibodies in a small fraction of seronegative patients, the overall booster benefit was disproportionately evident in patients already seropositive and not receiving active therapy. While ancestral virus- and Omicron variant-reactive antibody levels among individual patients were largely concordant, neutralizing antibodies against Omicron tended to be reduced. Interestingly, in all patients, including those unable to generate detectable antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 spike, we observed comparable levels of EBV- and influenza-reactive antibodies, demonstrating that B cell-targeting therapies primarily impair de novo but not preexisting antibody levels. These findings support rationale for vaccination before cancer treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) has revolutionized cancer immunotherapy. However, most patients with cancer fail to respond clinically. One potential reason is the accumulation of immunosuppressive transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) in the tumor microenvironment (TME). TGFβ drives cancer immune evasion in part by inducing regulatory T cells (Tregs) and limiting CD8+ T cell function. Glycoprotein-A repetitions predominant (GARP) is a cell surface docking receptor for activating latent TGFβ1, TGFβ2 and TGFβ3, with its expression restricted predominantly to effector Tregs, cancer cells, and platelets. METHODS We investigated the role of GARP in human patients with cancer by analyzing existing large databases. In addition, we generated and humanized an anti-GARP monoclonal antibody and evaluated its antitumor efficacy and underlying mechanisms of action in murine models of cancer. RESULTS We demonstrate that GARP overexpression in human cancers correlates with a tolerogenic TME and poor clinical response to ICB, suggesting GARP blockade may improve cancer immunotherapy. We report on a unique anti-human GARP antibody (named PIIO-1) that specifically binds the ligand-interacting domain of all latent TGFβ isoforms. PIIO-1 lacks recognition of GARP-TGFβ complex on platelets. Using human LRRC32 (encoding GARP) knock-in mice, we find that PIIO-1 does not cause thrombocytopenia; is preferentially distributed in the TME; and exhibits therapeutic efficacy against GARP+ and GARP- cancers, alone or in combination with anti-PD-1 antibody. Mechanistically, PIIO-1 treatment reduces canonical TGFβ signaling in tumor-infiltrating immune cells, prevents T cell exhaustion, and enhances CD8+ T cell migration into the TME in a C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 3 (CXCR3)-dependent manner. CONCLUSION GARP contributes to multiple aspects of immune resistance in cancer. Anti-human GARP antibody PIIO-1 is an efficacious and safe strategy to block GARP-mediated LTGFβ activation, enhance CD8+ T cell trafficking and functionality in the tumor, and overcome primary resistance to anti-PD-1 ICB. PIIO-1 therefore warrants clinical development as a novel cancer immunotherapeutic.

Abstract
The cancer research field is finally starting to unravel the mystery behind why males have a higher incidence and mortality rate than females for nearly all cancer types of the non-reproductive systems. Here, we explain how sex - specifically sex chromosomes and sex hormones - drives differential adaptive immunity across immune-related disease states including cancer, and why males are consequently more predisposed to tumor development. We highlight emerging data on the roles of cell-intrinsic androgen receptors in driving CD8+ T cell dysfunction or exhaustion in the tumor microenvironment and summarize ongoing clinical efforts to determine the impact of androgen blockade on cancer immunotherapy. Finally, we outline a framework for future research in cancer biology and immuno-oncology, underscoring the importance of a holistic research approach to understanding the mechanisms of sex dimorphisms in cancer, so sex will be considered as an imperative factor for guiding treatment decisions in the future.

Abstract
Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) is inextricably linked to regulatory T cell (Treg) biology. However, precisely untangling the role for TGF-β1 in Treg differentiation and function is complicated by the pleiotropic and context-dependent activity of this cytokine and the multifaceted biology of Tregs. Among CD4+ T cells, Tregs are the major producers of latent TGF-β1 and are uniquely able to activate this cytokine via expression of cell surface docking receptor glycoprotein A repetitions predominant (GARP) and αv integrins. Although a preponderance of evidence indicates no essential roles for Treg-derived TGF-β1 in Treg immunosuppression, TGF-β1 signaling is crucial for Treg development in the thymus and periphery. Furthermore, active TGF-β1 instructs the differentiation of other T cell subsets, including TH17 cells. Here, we will review TGF-β1 signaling in Treg development and function and discuss knowledge gaps, future research, and the TGF-β1/Treg axis in the context of cancer immunotherapy and fibrosis.

Abstract
Background Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) through direct lysis of infected lung epithelial cells, which releases damage-associated molecular patterns and induces a pro-inflammatory cytokine milieu causing systemic inflammation. Anti-viral and anti-inflammatory agents have shown limited therapeutic efficacy. Soluble CD24 (CD24Fc) blunts the broad inflammatory response induced by damage-associated molecular patterns via binding to extracellular high mobility group box 1 and heat shock proteins, as well as regulating the downstream Siglec10-Src homology 2 domain–containing phosphatase 1 pathway. A recent randomized phase III trial evaluating CD24Fc for patients with severe COVID-19 (SAC-COVID; NCT04317040) demonstrated encouraging clinical efficacy. Methods Using a systems analytical approach, we studied peripheral blood samples obtained from patients enrolled at a single institution in the SAC-COVID trial to discern the impact of CD24Fc treatment on immune homeostasis. We performed high dimensional spectral flow cytometry and measured the levels of a broad array of cytokines and chemokines to discern the impact of CD24Fc treatment on immune homeostasis in patients with COVID-19. Results Twenty-two patients were enrolled, and the clinical characteristics from the CD24Fc vs. placebo groups were matched. Using high-content spectral flow cytometry and network-level analysis, we found that patients with severe COVID-19 had systemic hyper-activation of multiple cellular compartments, including CD8+ T cells, CD4+ T cells, and CD56+ natural killer cells. Treatment with CD24Fc blunted this systemic inflammation, inducing a return to homeostasis in NK and T cells without compromising the anti-Spike protein antibody response. CD24Fc significantly attenuated the systemic cytokine response and diminished the cytokine coexpression and network connectivity linked with COVID-19 severity and pathogenesis. Conclusions Our data demonstrate that CD24Fc rapidly down-modulates systemic inflammation and restores immune homeostasis in SARS-CoV-2-infected individuals, supporting further development of CD24Fc as a novel therapeutic against severe COVID-19.

Abstract
Tumor-infiltrating myeloid cells are a prominent pro-tumorigenic immune cell population that limit host anti-tumor immunity and present a significant obstacle for many cancer immunotherapies. Targeting the mechanisms regulating myeloid cell function within the tumor microenvironment may overcome immunotherapy resistance in some cancers. Recent discoveries in the emerging field of immunometabolism reveal that the metabolic profiles of intratumoral myeloid cells are rewired to adapt to the nutrition-limited tumor microenvironment, and this shapes their pro-tumor phenotypes. Interestingly, metabolic modulation can shift these myeloid cells toward the immune-stimulating anti-tumor phenotype. In this review, we will highlight the roles of specific metabolic pathways in the activation and function of myeloid cells, and discuss the therapeutic value of metabolically reprogramming myeloid cells to augment and improve outcomes with cancer immunotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND. SARS-CoV-2 causes COVID-19 through direct lysis of infected lung epithelial cells, which releases damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) and induces a pro-inflammatory cytokine milieu causing systemic inflammation. Anti-viral and anti-inflammatory agents have shown limited therapeutic efficacy. Soluble CD24 (CD24Fc) is able to blunt the broad inflammatory response induced by DAMPs in multiple models. A recent randomized phase III trial evaluating the impact of CD24Fc in patients with severe COVID-19 demonstrated encouraging clinical efficacy. METHODS. We studied peripheral blood samples obtained from patients enrolled at a single institution in the SAC-COVID trial (NCT04317040) collected before and after treatment with CD24Fc or placebo. We performed high dimensional spectral flow cytometry analysis of peripheral blood mononuclear cells and measured the levels of a broad array of cytokines and chemokines. A systems analytical approach was used to discern the impact of CD24Fc treatment on immune homeostasis in patients with COVID-19. FINDINGS. Twenty-two patients were enrolled, and the clinical characteristics from the CD24Fc vs. placebo groups were matched. Using high-content spectral flow cytometry and network-level analysis, we found systemic hyper-activation of multiple cellular compartments in the placebo group, including CD8+ T cells, CD4+ T cells, and CD56+ NK cells. By contrast, CD24Fc-treated patients demonstrated blunted systemic inflammation, with a return to homeostasis in both NK and T cells within days without compromising the ability of patients to mount an effective anti-Spike protein antibody response. A single dose of CD24Fc significantly attenuated induction of the systemic cytokine response, including expression of IL-10 and IL-15, and diminished the coexpression and network connectivity among extensive circulating inflammatory cytokines, the parameters associated with COVID-19 disease severity. INTERPRETATION. Our data demonstrates that CD24Fc treatment rapidly down-modulates systemic inflammation and restores immune homeostasis in SARS-CoV-2-infected individuals, supporting further development of CD24Fc as a novel therapeutic against severe COVID-19.

Abstract
Introduction: Since the 1990s, the emergency department (ED) unscheduled return visit (URV), or “bounce-back,” has been used as a quality of care measurement. During that time, resident training was also scrutinized and uncovered a need for closer resident supervision, especially of second-year residents. Over the years, bounce-backs have continued to be analyzed with vigor, but research on residency training and supervision has lagged with few studies concurrently investigating residency supervision and bounce-backs. Other literature on resident supervision suggests that with adequate attending supervision, resident performance is equivalent to attending performance. With that in mind, it was hypothesized that resident bounce-back rates will be equivalent to attending bounce-back rates, and there will be no change among residency years. The primary objective of this study was to determine the rate at which patients are seen as a bounce-back visit within 72 hours of their initial visit to a community hospital ED during the study time frame. The secondary aims were to evaluate if the ED bounce-back rate is impacted by training level (residents or attending) and to describe bounce-back patient characteristics, including primary complaint/disease, age, comorbidities and issues with compliance. Methods: A retrospective chart review of 1000 charts was conducted from September 2015 to September 2017. Charts were randomly selected by the Quality & Patient Safety (QPS) team and, after applying inclusion/exclusion criteria, 732 charts were analysed. Inclusion criteria included age ≥ 18 years, patients treated by an Emergency Medicine (EM) resident during their initial visit and patients with a “discharge” disposition. Exclusion criteria included patients seen as a scheduled return visit (e.g., two-day return for blood pregnancy recheck, wound check, etc.). Demographics, initial visit variables, comorbidities and bounce-back data were collected based on electronic record query or chart review. Data was analysed using means, standard deviations, medians and ranges for continuous variables. Logistic regression modelling techniques were used to examine factors that affect whether the patient had a bounce-back visit. Results: The rate of URVs within 72 hours of the patient's initial visit was 4.65%. PGY1 and PGY2's bounce-back rate was 3.8% and 3.6%, respectively, and PGY3 and PGY4's bounce-back rate was 5.7% and 5.6%, respectively (p-value=.63). There was no statistically significant change among residency years. Most bounce-back characteristics analysed including primary complaint, age, and comorbidities demonstrated no statistical significance in the increased rate of bounce-back except for patients with a history of tobacco abuse, alcohol abuse and chronic pain. Current smokers were 6.5 times more likely to bounce back than former smokers (odds ratio=6.485, 95% confidence interval = 2.089 to 20.133, p-value=0.0012) and those with chronic pain were 2.5 times more likely to bounce back than those without chronic pain (odds ratio=2.518, 95% confidence interval =1.029 to 6.164, p=0.0431). Conclusion: EM residency training year does not increase the frequency of bounce-backs in a community hospital ED. Finally, patients with substance abuse and chronic pain were more likely to bounce back.

Abstract
The use of mutant strains of oncolytic herpes simplex virus (oHSV) in early-phase human clinical trials for the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) has proven safe, but limited efficacy suggests that more potent vector designs are required for effective GBM therapy. Inadequate vector performance may derive from poor intratumoral vector replication and limited spread to uninfected cells. Vector replication may be impaired by mutagenesis strategies to achieve vector safety, and intratumoral virus spread may be hampered by vector entrapment in the tumor-specific extracellular matrix (ECM) that in GBM is composed primarily of type IV collagen. In this report, we armed our previously described epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)vIII-targeted, neuronal microRNA-sensitive oHSV with a matrix metalloproteinase (MMP9) to improve intratumoral vector distribution. We show that vector-expressed MMP9 enhanced therapeutic efficacy and long-term animal survival in a GBM xenograft model.

Abstract
Abstract
Stromal platelet-derived growth factor receptor-beta (PDGFRβ) has emerged as an actionable mediator of breast tumor-stromal communication. As a receptor tyrosine kinase, PDGFRβ is activated by its ligand, PDGFB, which is released by neighboring tumor epithelium and endothelium. However, how PDGF signaling mediates breast cancer (BC) initiation, progression, and metastasis remains unclear. To evaluate PDGFRβ in this disease, we developed a mouse model of stromal-specific PDGFRβ activation using the Fsp-cre transgene previously published by our group. Mesenchymal-specific activation of PDGFRβ promotes preferential experimental brain metastasis of PDGFB-expressing mammary tumor cells when injected intravenously and accelerates intracranial tumor growth of these cells. Mammary tumor cells expressing low levels of PDGFB do not exhibit a similar increase in brain metastases in PDGFRβ mutant mice. To our knowledge, this is the first example where genetic manipulation of the stroma leads to an increased incidence of BCBM. Our pre-clinical data suggests that primary breast tumors that express high PDGFB could preferentially metastasize to the brain. To test this in patients, we analyzed PDGFB protein expression in a tissue microarray comprised of HER2-positive and triple negative BC primary tumors. While high PDGFB did not correlate with site-independent metastatic recurrence, it was prognostic of brain metastasis, mirroring our mouse data. Our findings suggest that high primary tumor PDGFB expression defines a subset of BC patients predisposed to brain metastases. These patients may benefit from therapeutic intervention of PDGFRβ signaling. To test this pre-clinically, we treated mice harboring intracranial tumors with the PDGFR-specific inhibitor, crenolanib. Excitingly, crenolanib treatment significantly inhibited the brain tumor burden in these mice. Combined, our findings (1) advocate that primary tumor expression of PDGFB is a novel prognostic biomarker for the development of BCBM and (2) support clinical trial evaluation of PDGFR inhibitors for the prevention and treatment of BCBM.

Abstract
HMGB1 is a ubiquitously expressed intracellular protein that binds DNA and transcription factors and regulates chromosomal structure and function. Under conditions of cell death or stress, it is actively or passively released by cells into the extracellular environment, where it functions as damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) that orchestrates pro-inflammatory cytokine release and inflammation. Our results demonstrate that HMGB1 is secreted in the tumor microenvironment after oncolytic HSV (oHSV) infection in vitro and in vivo. The impact of secreted HMGB1 on tumor growth and response to oncolytic viral therapy was evaluated by using HMGB1-blocking antibodies in vitro and in mice bearing intracranial tumors. IVIS and MRI imaging was utilized to visualize in real time virus spread, tumor growth, and changes in edema in mice. Our data showed that HMGB1 released in tumor microenvironment orchestrated increased vascular leakiness and edema. Further HMGB1 blocking antibodies rescued vascular leakiness and enhanced survival of intracranial glioma-bearing mice treated with oHSV.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malignant gliomas (glioblastomas; GBMs) are extremely aggressive and have a median survival of approximately 15 months. Current treatment modalities, which include surgical resection, radiation and chemotherapy, have done little to prolong the lives of GBM patients. Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPG) are critical for cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) interactions and are implicated in glioma growth and invasion. Chondroitinase (Chase) ABC is a bacterial enzyme that cleaves chondroitin sulfate disaccharide chains from CSPGs in the tumor ECM. Wild-type Chase ABC has limited stability and/or activity in mammalian cells; therefore, we created a mutant humanized version (Chase M) with enhanced function in mammalian cells. METHODS We hypothesized that disruption of cell-cell and cell-ECM interactions by ChaseM and temozolomide (TMZ) will enhance the chemotherapeutic availability and sensitivity of glioma cells. RESULTS Utilizing primary patient-derived neurospheres, we found that ChaseM decreases glioma neurosphere aggregation in vitro. Furthermore, an oncolytic HSV-1 virus expressing secreted ChaseM (OV-ChaseM) enhanced viral spread and glioma cell killing compared to OV-Control, in vitro. OV-ChaseM plus TMZ combinatorial treatment resulted in a significant synergistic enhancement of glioma cell killing accompanied by an increase in apoptotic cell death. Intracellular flow cytometric analysis revealed a significant reduction in the phosphorylation of the pro-survival AKT protein following OV-ChaseM plus TMZ treatment. Lastly, in nude mice bearing intracranial GBM30 glioma xenografts, intratumoral OV-ChaseM plus TMZ (10 mg/kg by oral gavage) combination therapy resulted in a significant (p < 0.02) enhancement of survival compared to each individual treatment alone. CONCLUSIONS These data reveal that OV-ChaseM enhances glioma cell viral susceptibility and sensitivity to TMZ.

Abstract
Clearance of pathogens or tumor cells by antibodies traditionally requires both Fab and Fc domains of IgG. Here, we show the Fc domain of IgG alone mediates recognition and clearance of herpes simplex virus (HSV1)-infected cells. The human natural killer (NK) cell surface is naturally coated with IgG bound by its Fc domain to the Fcγ receptor CD16a. NK cells utilize the Fc domain of bound IgG to recognize gE, an HSV1-encoded glycoprotein that also binds the Fc domain of IgG but at a site distinct from CD16a. The bridge formed by the Fc domain between the HSV1-infected cell and the NK cell results in NK cell activation and lysis of the HSV1-infected cell in the absence of HSV1-specific antibody in vitro and prevents fatal HSV1 infection in vivo. This mechanism also explains how bacterial IgG-binding proteins regulate NK cell function and may be broadly applicable to Fcγ-receptor-bearing cells.

Abstract
Purpose: Brain angiogenesis inhibitor (BAI1) facilitates phagocytosis and bacterial pathogen clearance by macrophages; however, its role in viral infections is unknown. Here, we examined the role of BAI1, and its N-terminal cleavage fragment (Vstat120) in antiviral macrophage responses to oncolytic herpes simplex virus (oHSV).Experimental Design: Changes in infiltration and activation of monocytic and microglial cells after treatment of glioma-bearing mice brains with a control (rHSVQ1) or Vstat120-expressing (RAMBO) oHSV was analyzed using flow cytometry. Co-culture of infected glioma cells with macrophages or microglia was used to examine antiviral signaling. Cytokine array gene expression and Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) helped evaluate changes in macrophage signaling in response to viral infection. TNFα-blocking antibodies and macrophages derived from Bai1-/- mice were used.Results: RAMBO treatment of mice reduced recruitment and activation of macrophages/microglia in mice with brain tumors, and showed increased virus replication compared with rHSVQ1. Cytokine gene expression array revealed that RAMBO significantly altered the macrophage inflammatory response to infected glioma cells via altered secretion of TNFα. Furthermore, we showed that BAI1 mediated macrophage TNFα induction in response to oHSV therapy. Intracranial inoculation of wild-type/RAMBO virus in Bai1-/- or wild-type non-tumor-bearing mice revealed the safety of this approach.Conclusions: We have uncovered a new role for BAI1 in facilitating macrophage anti-viral responses. We show that arming oHSV with antiangiogenic Vstat120 also shields them from inflammatory macrophage antiviral response, without reducing safety. Clin Cancer Res; 23(7); 1809-19. ©2016 AACR.

Abstract
Abstract
A role for the tumor microenvironment (TME) in cancer progression is irrefutable and our laboratory has been at the forefront of this field providing evidence for both tumor suppressive and oncogenic roles of the TME. The PDGF pathway is an exemplar for the study of tumor-stroma interaction as PDGF receptors (PDGFR) are frequently expressed in the fibroblasts and pericytes within the tumor-associated stroma of epithelial tumors including breast cancer. In contrast, PDGF ligands are expressed by the epithelial tumor cells themselves. However, beyond a few descriptive studies, the role of interactive PDGFRβ signaling in the TME during breast cancer initiation, progression and metastases is not understood. This can be attributed in part to limited in vivo models to study the complex TME, especially for breast cancer associated metastases. To overcome this limitation, we have established a transgenic knock-in mouse model that expresses constitutively active PDGFRβ in the stroma of the mammary gland as well in the lung and the brain, two common sites of metastatic breast cancer dissemination. We have found that these mice develop mammary gland hyperplasia highlighting the importance of PDGFRβ in the TME in driving mammary epithelial cell growth. To test whether activation of mutant PDGFRβ in either the lung or the brain increases metastatic growth at either site, two experimental metastases assays were performed: (1) tail vein and (2) intracranial injections to test for lung and brain metastatic outgrowth, respectively. Tail vein injection of the non-metastatic murine mammary cancer cell line DB7 cells led to pronounced lung metastases in PDGFRβ knock-in mice in less than 4 weeks. No macrometastases were seen in the control at this same time point. Similar to the surge in lung metastasis, intracranial injection of DB7 cells led to an increase in tumor growth in brains of the mutant versus wild type controls, revealing an important role for PDGFRβ signaling in the breast cancer metastatic microenvironment. In addition, knockdown of PDGF-B in mammary cancer cells represses intracranial growth in wild type animals. Combined these data support a role for PDGFRβ signaling in the breast cancer metastatic microenvironment. Ongoing investigation is aimed to delineate how activated PDGF-B to PDGFRβ signaling primes the metastatic niche.

Abstract
Abstract
Objectives: Although, the ovarian cancer patient ascites is a recognized source of metastasis, the expression of oncogenic proteins in ascites and their effects on the tumor metastatic microenvironment still remain poorly understood. In this study, we investigate the role of STAT3 in primary ovarian cancer ascites and STAT3 as a potential target for ovarian tumor therapy in a preclinical animal model using our novel and safe STAT3 inhibitor of HO-3867.
Methods: We start with culturing the primary cancer cell lines from various human ascites and confirming the status of STAT3 signaling. The exact role that STAT3 plays in ovarian cancer was addressed using STAT3 knocked down and STAT3 overexpression cell lines. These were further used to develop an orthotopic mouse model of ovarian cancer. In vivo antitumor activity of STAT3 inhibitor of HO-3867 assessment was done by oral administration of HO-3867 in orthotopic tumor mice. using histopathological analysis, RPPA, TUNEL and angiogenesis assays. In vivo bio-absorption of HO-3867 compounds in tumors by EPR and LCMS analysis.
Results: We have found that pSTAT3 Tyr705 is constitutively expressed in the patient ascites derived cancer cells (ADCCs) and the range of expression could be very high to low. Subsequent in vivo transplantation of ADCCs with higher pSTAT3 expression injected into mice resulted in a large primary tumor and widespread metastases; while the mice with cells with STAT3 Knocked out had a smaller tumor and no metastases. We further demonstrate that the cytokines secreted into the culture medium can activate the JAK/STAT pathway in the STAT3 Ko cells thereby making up for the absence of inherent STAT3 in the cells. Once we proved the importance of STAT3 in ovarian cancer progression and metastases, we moved on to targeting STAT3 using our novel STAT3 inhibitor and pre-clinical orthotopic tumor model. Treatment with HO-3867 (100 ppm) significantly suppressed ovarian tumor growth and metastasis. A substantial amount of HO-3867 was detected in the ovarian tumor tissues. Suppression of STAT3 and its downstream target proteins were confirmed with reverse phase protein array. In vivo Matrigel assay showed that HO-3867 treated samples had significantly reduced vessel formation (∼4 times) when compared to untreated control. HO-3867 was also found to have cytotoxic effects in ex vivo culture of freshly collected human tumor samples, including patients with chemotherapy-resistant disease.
Conclusions: Our study has concluded that constitutive expression of STAT3 in patient ascites is a significant contributor in ovarian tumor invasion and metastasis. STAT3-selective targeting agent HO-3867 in orthotopic ovarian tumor and ex vivo tumor tissue culture, results in inhibition of tumor growth and induction of apoptosis both in vivo and ex vivo, suggesting that HO-3867 is an exciting new cytotoxic agent acting through targeting STAT3; which could have a considerable role in the future treatment of ovarian cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE Both the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib and an oncolytic herpes simplex virus-1 (oHSV)-expressing GM-CSF are currently FDA approved. Although proteasome blockade can increase oHSV replication, immunologic consequences, and consequent immunotherapy potential are unknown. In this study, we investigated the impact of bortezomib combined with oHSV on tumor cell death and sensitivity to natural killer (NK) cell immunotherapy. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Western blot, flow cytometry, and caspase 3/7 activity assays were used to evaluate the induction of apoptosis/autophagy and/or necroptotic cell death. Cellular and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) production was measured using CellROX and MitoSOX. Inhibitors/shRNA-targeting ROS, JNK and RIP1 kinase (RIPK1) were used to investigate the mechanism of cell killing. The synergistic interaction between oHSV and bortezomib was calculated using a Chou-Talalay analysis. NK cells isolated from normal human blood were co-cultured with tumor cells to evaluate cellular interactions. Q-PCR, ELISA, and FACS analysis were used to evaluate NK cell activation. Intracranial tumor xenografts were used to evaluate antitumor efficacy. RESULTS Combination treatment with bortezomib- and oHSV-induced necroptotic cell death and increased the production of mitochondrial ROS and JNK phosphorylation. Inhibitors/shRNA of RIPK1 and JNK rescued synergistic cell killing. Combination treatment also significantly enhanced NK cell activation and adjuvant NK cell therapy of mice treated with bortezomib and oHSV improved antitumor efficacy. CONCLUSIONS This study provides a significant rationale for triple combination therapy with bortezomib, oHSV, and NK cells to improve efficacy, in glioblastoma patients.

Abstract
Abstract
The lack of an efficient pre-clinical model predicting a drug's clinical response before it enters into clinical trials is a major reason behind the limited success or complete failure of most of the traditional anti-cancer compounds. In this study, we evaluate our novel, safe and selective STAT3 inhibitor HO-3867 for its anti-cancer efficacy/bio-availability using a pre-clinical relevant, orthotopic ovarian tumor model and ex-vivo human tumor tissue culture. Treatment with HO-3867 (100PPM) significantly suppressed ovarian tumor growth and metastasis when compared to the standard Cisplatin (4mg/kg). A substantial amount of HO-3867 was detected in the ovarian tumor tissues and quantified using EPR spectroscopy. Markers specific to cell proliferation (Ki-67, Cyclin D1), angiogenesis (VEGF and Kinase array) and apoptosis (caspase-3 activity) were significantly altered by treatment with HO-3867. In vivo histopathological evaluation of internal organs collected from treated tumor mice revealed no evidence of toxicity specific to HO-3867. Normal and malignant tissues were collected and TUNEL/8-OHdG staining revealed selective induction of apoptosis limited to neoplastic cells and concomitant increase in reactive oxygen species within the orthotopic tumor. Suppression of STAT3 and its downstream target proteins (cell proliferative, anti-apoptotic and angiogenic) was confirmed with proteomic array. HO-3867 treated samples had significantly reduced vessel formation (∼4 times) as compared to the untreated control as is evident by in vivo Matrigel assay. HO-3867 was also found to have cytotoxic effects in ex vivo culture of freshly collected human tumor samples, including patients with chemotherapy resistant form of the disease. Overall, these results highlight the clinical anti-cancer potential of HO-3867 using a relevant preclinical orthotopic ovarian tumor model, and provide a rationale for the inclusion of ex vivo patient tumor slice culture in oncologic drug development processes.

Abstract
Abstract
Early phase human clinical trials using several versions of oncolytic herpes simplex virus type 1 (oHSV) have shown promise in the treatment of GBM, but efficacy has been limited. Impediments to oHSV therapy include poor virus spread due in part to the tumor extracellular matrix, and insufficient replication in tumor cells as a result of attenuating mutations. Thus, the central goal of this project is to improve oncolytic vector delivery, replication and spread while maintaining safety and tumor specificity. We have already developed a new class of two stage tumor targeted oHSV combining (i) selective infection through tumor-specific receptors and (ii) selective replication based on differential expression of microRNAs (miRs) in tumor and normal cells. We further modify our vector by arming with the matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) as a means to reduce vector trapping in the tumor extracellular matrix. Here we show that MMP9 expression (i) enhances Oncolytic vector spreading in GBM neruospheres in vitro and (ii) improves tumor killing in a xenogeneic model of primary human GBM with significant long-term survival (≥50%) comparable to the control.

Abstract
PURPOSE Oncolytic herpes simplex viruses (oHSV) represent a promising therapy for glioblastoma (GBM), but their clinical success has been limited. Early innate immune responses to viral infection reduce oHSV replication, tumor destruction, and efficacy. Here, we characterized the antiviral effects of macrophages and microglia on viral therapy for GBM. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Quantitative flow cytometry of mice with intracranial gliomas (±oHSV) was used to examine macrophage/microglia infiltration and activation. In vitro coculture assays of infected glioma cells with microglia/macrophages were used to test their impact on oHSV replication. Macrophages from TNFα-knockout mice and blocking antibodies were used to evaluate the biologic effects of TNFα on virus replication. TNFα blocking antibodies were used to evaluate the impact of TNFα on oHSV therapy in vivo. RESULTS Flow-cytometry analysis revealed a 7.9-fold increase in macrophage infiltration after virus treatment. Tumor-infiltrating macrophages/microglia were polarized toward a M1, proinflammatory phenotype, and they expressed high levels of CD86, MHCII, and Ly6C. Macrophages/microglia produced significant amounts of TNFα in response to infected glioma cells in vitro and in vivo. Using TNFα-blocking antibodies and macrophages derived from TNFα-knockout mice, we discovered TNFα-induced apoptosis in infected tumor cells and inhibited virus replication. Finally, we demonstrated the transient blockade of TNFα from the tumor microenvironment with TNFα-blocking antibodies significantly enhanced virus replication and survival in GBM intracranial tumors. CONCLUSIONS The results of these studies suggest that FDA approved TNFα inhibitors may significantly improve the efficacy of oncolytic virus therapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE Novel therapeutic regimens are needed to improve dismal outcomes associated with late-stage ovarian cancer. Oncolytic viruses are currently being tested in patients with ovarian cancer. Here, we tested the therapeutic efficacy of combining doxorubicin with 34.5ENVE, an oncolytic herpes simplex virus transcriptionally driven by a modified stem cell-specific nestin promoter, and encoding for antiangiogenic Vasculostatin-120 (VStat120) for use against progressive ovarian cancer. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Antitumor efficacy of 34.5ENVE was assessed in ovarian cancer cell lines, mouse ascites-derived tumor cells, and primary patient ascites-derived tumor cells by standard MTT assay. The ability of conditioned medium derived from 34.5ENVE-infected ovarian cancer cells to inhibit endothelial cell migration was measured by a Transwell chamber assay. Scope of cytotoxic interactions between 34.5ENVE and doxorubicin were evaluated using Chou-Talalay synergy analysis. Viral replication, herpes simplex virus receptor expression, and apoptosis were evaluated. Efficacy of oncolytic viral therapy in combination with doxorubicin was evaluated in vivo in the murine xenograft model of human ovarian cancer. RESULTS Treatment with 34.5ENVE reduced cell viability of ovarian cancer cell lines, and mouse ascites-derived and patient ascites-derived ovarian tumor cells. Conditioned media from tumor cells infected with 34.5ENVE reduced endothelial cell migration. When combined with doxorubicin, 34.5ENVE killed synergistically with a significant increase in caspase-3/7 activation, and an increase in sub-G1 population of cells. The combination of doxorubicin and 34.5ENVE significantly prolonged survival in nude mice bearing intraperitoneal ovarian cancer tumors. CONCLUSIONS This study indicates significant antitumor efficacy of 34.5ENVE alone, and in combination with doxorubicin against disseminated peritoneal ovarian cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bortezomib is an FDA-approved proteasome inhibitor, and oncolytic herpes simplex virus-1 (oHSV) is a promising therapeutic approach for cancer. We tested the impact of combining bortezomib with oHSV for antitumor efficacy. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN The synergistic interaction between oHSV and bortezomib was calculated using Chou-Talalay analysis. Viral replication was evaluated using plaque assay and immune fluorescence. Western blot assays were used to evaluate induction of estrogen receptor (ER) stress and unfolded protein response (UPR). Inhibitors targeting Hsp90 were utilized to investigate the mechanism of cell killing. Antitumor efficacy in vivo was evaluated using subcutaneous and intracranial tumor xenografts of glioma and head and neck cancer. Survival was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier curves and two-sided log-rank test. RESULTS Combination treatment with bortezomib and oHSV (34.5ENVE), displayed strong synergistic interaction in ovarian cancer, head and neck cancer, glioma, and malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) cells. Bortezomib treatment induced ER stress, evident by strong induction of Grp78, CHOP, PERK, and IRE1α (Western blot analysis) and the UPR (induction of hsp40, 70, and 90). Bortezomib treatment of cells at both sublethal and lethal doses increased viral replication (P < 0.001), but inhibition of Hsp90 ablated this response, reducing viral replication and synergistic cell killing. The combination of bortezomib and 34.5ENVE significantly enhanced antitumor efficacy in multiple different tumor models in vivo. CONCLUSIONS The dramatic synergy of bortezomib and 34.5ENVE is mediated by bortezomib-induced UPR and warrants future clinical testing in patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE Oncolytic viruses (OV) based on herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV1) are being used in clinical trials for a variety of cancers. The OV, rQNestin34.5, uses a nestin promoter/enhancer to selectively drive robust viral replication in malignant glioma cells. We have discovered that this promoter becomes extensively methylated in infected glioma cells, reducing OV efficacy. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We used demethylating drugs [5-azacytidine (5-Aza)], decitabine, or valproic acid (VPA) in both in vitro and in vivo malignant glioma models to determine if they improved the efficacy of rQNestin34.5 therapy. RESULTS The use of demethylating agents, such as 5-Aza, improved OV replication and tumor cell lysis in vitro and, in fact, synergized pharmacologically on Chou-Talalay analysis. In vivo, the combination of the demethylating agents, 5-Aza or decitabine, with rQNestin34.5 significantly prolonged the survivorship of athymic mice harboring intracranial human glioma xenografts over single agent alone. CONCLUSION These results, thus, provide further justification for the exploration of demethylating agents when combined with the OV, rQNestin34.5, in preclinical therapeutics and, possibly, clinical trials for malignant glioma.

Abstract
Abstract
The aim of this study is to evaluate the combination of oncolytic herpes simplex virus (34.5ENVE) and bortezomib in the treatment of solid tumors. Although phase 1 clinical trials of oncolytic viruses have established the relative safety of this approach, evidence for efficacy has remained elusive. Therefore, strategies to enhance the efficacy of this treatment are being explored. We investigated the impact of 34.5ENVE in combination with bortezomib, a potent and selective proteosome inhibitor, in the treatment of multiple solid tumor models. In vitro, various human cancer cells were treated with bortezomib alone, 34.5ENVE alone, or the combination of the two. We analyzed the treatments for synergism in cancer cell killing using Chou-Talalay analysis (CI index <1: synergy; CI index < 0.8: strong synergy). Combination treatment of bortezomib and 34.5ENVE displayed strong synergism in multiple cell lines from ovarian cancer, head & neck cancer, and glioma (CI index < 0.8). In vivo, subcutaneous and intracranial tumor xenografts were utilized to study the impact of bortezomib+34.5ENVE on anti-tumor efficacy. Survival was analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier method and evaluated with a two-sided log-rank test. In vivo, the combination of bortezomib and 34.5ENVE significantly enhanced anti-tumor efficacy and prolonged mouse survival. The impact of bortezomib on 34.5ENVE replication was measured by quantifying virus titer. Sub lethal doses of bortezomib increased virus replication (p value <0.001), and treatment of cells with higher doses did not change the absolute viral titer. To understand the mechanism of the synergistic interaction between 34.5ENVE and bortezomib, we analyzed western blotting for cellular markers of ER stress and the JNK signaling pathway. Bortezomib treatment induced ER stress with strong induction of Grp78, CHOP, PERK and IRE1α (western blot analysis). Additionally, the combination of bortezomib and 34.5ENVE increased phosphorylation of JNK and c-Jun more so than the single treatments alone. Production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was then measured by FACS analysis of cells treated with CellROX. Consistent with JNK activation, increased ROS was observed in both bortezomib and 34.5ENVE treated cells. Furthermore, cells treated with both bortezomib and 34.5ENVE displayed much higher ROS levels compared to cells treated with either agent alone. Both N-acetylcysteine, a ROS scavenger, and dipheylene iodide, an NADPH oxidase inhibitor, rescued the increased synergistic killing. We also treated SP0600125, a selective JNK inhibitor, and necrostatin-1, an inhibitor of RIP1, to investigate the initiation of cell killing. Pretreatment with both inhibitors was able to rescue synergy (CI>0.8). These findings suggest that the combination of bortezomib and 34.5ENVE leads to synergistic cell killing mediated by RIP1 dependent necroptosis induction.
