Definitions
- This invention generally relates to methods of treating hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) for improving their therapeutic usefulness and more particularly, but not limited to, treating hematopoietic stem cells derived from cord blood, and hematopoietic stem cells thus treated.
- HSCs hematopoietic stem cells
- P-selectin and E-selectin cooperatively mediate leukocyte rolling and adhesion on vascular surfaces (McEver, R.P. Selectins: lectins that initiate cell adhesion under flow. Curr Opin Cell Biol. 2002 Oct;14:581-856).
- P-selectin and E-selectin also mediate the homing of intravenously injected HSCs to bone marrow.
- HSCs intravenously injected HSCs
- Endothelial selectins and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 promote hematopoietic progenitor homing to bone marrow. Proc.Natl.Acad.Sci.USA. 1998;95:14423-14428).
- P-selectin and E-selectin are expressed on endothelial cells after stimulation of agonists, but they are expressed constitutively on bone marrow endothelial cells.
- Selectins use ⁇ 2,3-sialylated and ⁇ 1 ,3-fucosylated glycans such as sialyl Lewis x (sLe x ) on glycoproteins or glycolipids as ligands.
- P-selectin binds to the N-terminal region of P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1), which contains tyrosine sulfates and an O-glycan capped with sLe x .
- PSGL-1 P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1
- E- selectin binds to one or more different sites on PSGL-1.
- PSGL-1 does not require tyrosine sulfation, but expression of sLe x on O-glycans enhances binding.
- E- selectin also interacts with other ligands on HSCs.
- An isoform of CD44 on HSCs has been shown to bind to E-selectin in vitro (Dimitroff, C.J., Lee, J.Y., Rafii, S., Fuhlbrigge, R.C., Sackstein, R.
- CD44 is a major E-selectin ligand on human hematopoietic progenitor cells. J.Cell Biol.
- E-selectin ligand-1 Another potential ligand for E-selectin on HSCs is E-selectin ligand-1 (ESL-1) (Wild, M.K., Huang, M.C., Schul ⁇ e-Horsel, U., van Der Merwe, P.A., Vestweber, D. Affinity, kinetics, and thermodynamics of E-selectin binding to E-selectin ligand- 1. J Biol Chem.2001 Aug 24;276:31602-31612). Each of these glycoprotein ligands is thought to carry sLe x structures.
- Hematopoietic stem cells harvested from one individual can be transplanted to the bone marrow of another individual following an intravenous infusion.
- the approach has been widely used in treatment of various hematological disorders such as leukemia (Thomas, E.D. History, current results, and research in marrow transplantation. Perspectives Biol. Med. 38:230- 237.1995).
- human HSCs are obtained from three different sources: bone marrow, adult peripheral blood after mobilization, and cord blood obtained from umbilical cords after delivery.
- HLA human leukocyte antigen
- cord blood Compared with bone marrow and adult peripheral blood, cord blood has several potential advantages, in particular the wide and rapid availability of cells and less stringent requirements for HLA identity between donor and recipient because of the lower risk of acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) (Rocha, V., et. al., Comparison of outcomes of unrelated bone marrow and umbilical cord blood transplants in children with acute leukemia. Blood. 97:2962-71.2001).
- GVHD graft-versus-host disease
- cord blood HSCs rather than HSCs from bone marrow or adult peripheral blood
- Potential advantages of transplantation using cord blood HSCs rather than HSCs from bone marrow or adult peripheral blood include: (1 ) a large potential donor pool; (2) rapid availability, since the cord blood has been prescreened and tested; (3) greater racial diversity can be attained in the banks by focusing collection efforts on hospitals where children of under represented ethnic backgrounds are born; (4) reduced risk or discomfort for the donor; (5) rare contamination by viruses; and (6) lower risk of graft-versus-host disease (wherein the donor's cells attack the patient's organs and tissues), even for recipients with a less-than-perfect tissue match.
- cord blood-derived HSCs have been increasingly used for bone marrow transplantation in recent years.
- HSC homing In the transplantation setting, the intravenously infused HSCs specifically extravasate in the bone marrow to engraft and proliferate, a process that is defined as HSC homing. Homing has been studied extensively both in vivo and in vitro and is believed to rely on adhesion molecule interactions between HSCs and endothelium of bone marrow. Selectins are a group of adhesion molecules containing a N-terminal carbohydrate-recognition domain related to those in Ca ++ -dependent (C-type) animal lectins.
- P-selectin expressed on activated platelets and endothelial cells
- E-selectin expressed on activated endothelial cells
- the best-characterized glycoprotein ligand is PSGL-1 , a mucin with many sialylated and fucosylated O-linked oligosaccharides.
- PSGL-1 is expressed on leukocytes and HSCs. Studies with PSGL-1 -deficient mice have shown that PSGL-1 mediates leukocyte tethering to and rolling on P-selectin and supports tethering to E- selectin in flow.
- PSGL-1 also binds to L-selectin, which initiates leukocyte-leukocyte interactions that amplify leukocyte rolling on inflamed endothelial cell surfaces.
- the P-selectin and L- selectin binding site comprises a peptide sequence containing three tyrosine sulfate residues near a threonine to which is attached a specific branched, fucosylated core-2 O-glycan (McEver, R.P., Cummings, R.D. Role of PSGL-1 binding to selectins in leukocyte recruitment. J Clin Invest. 100:S97-103. 1997; R.P.
- McEver Selectins: Ligands that initiate cell adhesion under flow. Curr. Op. in Cell Biol. 14: 581-586, 2002).
- the fucose moiety is essential for P-selectin binding as measured by in vitro assays using synthetic glycosulfopeptides.
- the fucosylation is catalyzed by a family of ⁇ 1 ,3-fucosyltransferases. Among them, ⁇ 1 ,3-fucosyltransferase IV (FT-IV) and ⁇ 1 , 3-fucosyltransferase VII (FT-VII) are primarily expressed in human leukocytes.
- HSCs have the potential to differentiate into different lineages of hematopoietic cells such as red blood cells, myeloid cells, lymphocytes and platelets.
- Human HSCs express a surface glycoprotein, CD34, which is routinely used for HSC identification and separation.
- CD34 + cells cells which express CD34 antigen represent a heterogeneous population of progenitors with various degrees of hematopoietic maturation.
- the absence of ("-") or reduced (“low”) expression of another surface protein, CD38, on human CD34 + cells is considered to be a surrogate marker of a primitive subpopulation of CD34 + cells.
- the cells of the CD34 + CD38 l0W " sub-population which comprise approximately 10-20% of the total CD34 + cells from bone marrow or adult peripheral blood, are highly enriched for multiprogenitor and stem cell activity, including engraftment ability.
- approximately 30% of cord blood HSCs are CD34 + CD38
- 0W " HSCs are known to have reduced homing to murine bone marrow, which is primarily dependent on interactions of human HSCs with murine P-selectin on the microvascular endothelium (Hidalgo, A., Weiss, L.A., and Frenette, P.S. Functional selectin ligands mediating human CD34 + cell interaction with bone marrow endothelium are enhanced postnatally. Adhesion pathways mediating hematopoietic progenitor cell homing to bone marrow. J. Clin. Invest. 110:559-569. 2002).
- An invention which corrects the homing defect of HSCs would significantly increase the potential of umbilical cord blood as a source of hematopoietic stem cells and would thereby lead to lower risks for acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease and improved success of bone marrow reconstitution.
- the present invention in one embodiment contemplates a method of treating HSCs comprising the steps of providing a quantity or population of HSCs, at least some of which lack or have reduced expression of surface protein CD38, and treating the quantity or population of HSCs in vitro with an ⁇ 1 ,3 fucosyltransferase and a fucose donor, wherein the treated HSCs have enhanced binding to P-selectin and E-selectin.
- the HSCs are typically characterized as comprising P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1) and/or other selectin ligands which does not effectively bind to P-selectin or E-selectin.
- the PSGL- 1 or other selectin ligands which occurs on the CD34 + CD38 low/" HSCs lack, or have fewer, fucosylated glycans, particularly O-glycans, and may for example, have PSGL-1 which have core-2 O-glycans which comprise NeuAc ⁇ 2,3Gal ⁇ 1 ,4GlcNAc and which lack fucose in ⁇ 1 ,3 linkage to the GlcNAc.
- the HSCs, in their untreated state prior to fucosylation as described herein, have reduced bone marrow homing ability.
- the HSCs are derived from human umbilical cord blood, though they may be derived from bone marrow or peripheral blood, as long as they are characterized as having enhanced bone marrow homing ability after the fucosylation treatment.
- the ⁇ 1 ,3 fucosyltransferase may be, for example, an ⁇ 1 ,3 fucosyltransferase IV, an ⁇ 1 ,3 fucosyltransferase VI, or an ⁇ 1 ,3 fucosyltransferase VII, or a combination thereof.
- the fucose donor may be, for example, GDP-fucose.
- the invention further contemplates in one embodiment a composition of treated human HSCs which comprise cord blood-derived CD34 + HSCs lacking or having reduced expression of surface protein CD38 (CD38
- the HSCs may be disposed in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, or diluent, or vehicle for storage or administration to a patient.
- the invention is further directed to a treatment method, comprising administering an effective amount of the HSCs to a subject having a hematological disorder or other disease requiring or benefiting from a transplantation of HSCs for treatment.
- the treated CD34 + HSCs (including CD34 + CD38 low " HSCs) have enhanced binding to P-selectin or E-selectin, as compared to untreated CD34 + HSCs.
- Enhanced binding to P-selectin (or E-selectin) is defined as at least 10% of the treated HSCs having fluorescence in a P-selectin (or E-selectin, respectively) binding assay which is greater than a predetermined fluorescence threshold (as defined below). In another embodiment, at least 25% of the treated HSCs exceed the predetermined fluorescence threshold, in another embodiment, at least 50% of the treated HSCs exceed the predetermined fluorescence threshold.
- At least 75% of the treated HSCs exceed the predetermined fluorescence threshold. In another embodiment, at least 90% of the treated HSCs exceed the predetermined fluorescence threshold. In another embodiment, at least 95% of the treated HSCs exceed the predetermined fluorescence threshold.
- the present invention further contemplates a blood product produced by the method including the steps of providing a quantity or population of HSCs, at least a portion of which are CD34 + and which lack or have reduced expression of protein CD38, and treating the quantity of HSCs in vitro with an 1 ,3 fucosyltransferase and a fucose donor, wherein the majority of the treated HSCs have enhanced binding to P-selectin (or E-selectin) as described herein.
- the quantity of HSCs are preferably derived from umbilical cord blood but may be obtained from bone marrow or adult peripheral blood.
- the quantity or population of HSCs could comprise a portion, or unfractionated sample, of blood or bone marrow.

- PSGL-1 is a homodimeric mucin expressed on almost all leukocytes including CD34 + cells.
- PSGL-1 To be functional, i.e., able to bind to P-selectin or E-selectin, PSGL-1 requires several post-translational modifications leading to formation of an sLe x group thereon, including ⁇ 1 ,3-fucosylation. Insufficient ⁇ 1 ,3-fucosylation, for example, results in impaired ability of naive T cells to interact with vascular selectins.

- the P-selectin binding was detected with FITC-labeled mAb S12.
- Treatment with exogenous FT-VI significantly increased binding of CD34 + cells to human P-selectin ( Figure 7B).
- the augmented binding to P-selectin was due to the increased functional PSGL-1 on the CD34 + cells after the ⁇ 1 ,3-fucosylation because binding was blocked by antibodies G1 and PL1 and by EDTA ( Figure 7D).
- Cord blood-derived CD34 + cells were divided into two groups for further processing.
- One group was incubated with GDP-fucose and FT-VI as described above, and another was treated with FT-VI without GDP-fucose (sham-treated control).
- the P-selectin-binding ability of the two groups of cells was compared using an in vitro flow chamber rolling assay system as described below.

- the HSCs were divide into two groups and fucosylated as described above.
- the E- selectin-binding ability of the two groups of cells was compared using an in vitro flow chamber rolling system. Briefly, soluble human E-selectin was immobilized in a parallel-plate flow chamber. An E-selectin site density of 200 sites/ ⁇ m 2 was used as measured by binding of 125 l- labeled anti-human E-selectin mAb ES1. Sham-treated or FT-VI-treated HSCs (10 6 /ml in HBSS and 0.5% HSA) were perfused over E-selectin under different shear forces.
- the accumulated number and shear resistance of the rolling cells were measured with a videomicroscopy system coupled to an image analysis system.
- a videomicroscopy system coupled to an image analysis system.
- the FT-VI-treated cells also rolled with lower velocity and were more resistant to detachment by shear forces (Fig. 10C and D).
- the interaction of HSCs with E-selectin was specific, as mAb ES1 abolished rolling and rolling was not observed on plates coated only with HSA (Fig. 10B).
- Fucosylated HSCs exhibit enhanced engraftment in bone marrow in vivo. [0064] Wlethods
- mice Male and female pathogen-free (NOD/SCID) mice (The Jackson Laboratory), 4-5 weeks of ages, were used as recipients. The mice were irradiated (230 rad) 2 or 3 hours before intravenous injections of FTVI-treated (fucosylated) or sham-treated (treated with FTVI but without GDP-fucose) CB HSCs (8 x 10 6 /mouse in 300 ⁇ saline) respectively. Control mice each received 300 ⁇ l saline without CB HSCs.
- mice Six weeks after transplantation, the mice were bled and sacrificed. Bone marrow cells were isolated from both femora and filtered through a 100-mm mesh filter to remove debris. After lysis of red blood cells, the bone marrow nucleated cells from each mouse were resuspended in HBSS at a concentration of 1 x 10 6 /ml. The engraftment was analyzed by both flow cytometry and human hematopoietic progenitor assays. For flow cytometry, bone marrow nucleated cells were incubated with a Cy5-conjugated anti-human CD45 mAb (BD Pharmingen, San Diego, CA).
- the irradiated NOS/SCID mice that received fucosylated CB HSCs had 2-3 fold more CD45 positive human-derived hematopoietic cells in bone marrow and peripheral blood than mice that received sham-treated CB HSCs, as analyzed by flow cytometry ( Figure 11 A).
- the significantly improved engraftment of human hematopoietic progenitors in bone marrow of mice transplanted with fucosylated cells was multilineage as demonstrated by the increases of BFU- Es, CFU-GMs, and CFU-GEMMs ( Figure 11 B).
- the sizes of the colonies derived from CB HSCs were not significantly different in either recipient group (data not shown), indicating that fucosylation did not change the growth potential of the CB progenitors.
- the in vivo study demonstrates that the FTVI-treated CB HSCs have much higher potential to home to and engraft in bone marrow of NOD/SCID mice than the sham-treated cells do.
