    Abstract The conventional type 1 dendritic cells (cDC1) play a pivotal role in protective immunity against pathogens and cancer. However, their low frequency in the blood and tissues limits their use in immune therapy. We have recently described a method to vaccinate against neoantigens that are induced in tumor cells by targeted delivery of a TAP siRNA to dendritic cells using a TLR9 binding CpG oligonucleotide. Since TLR9 is also expressed in immune suppressive myeloid populations TLR9 targeting could reduce the effectiveness of this approach. Here, we describe a modular multivalent antibody platform to target the TAP siRNA to resident Clec9a expressing cDC1 and show that it leads to selective and sustained TAP downregulation in cDC1 and inhibits tumor growth in mice more effectively than CpG targeted siRNA. To induce DC maturation an agonistic CD40 antibody was administered to the siRNA treated mice. To obviate the need for a second drug formulation and reduce the risk of toxicity, we exploited the multivalent nature of this targeting platform to co-deliver the TAP siRNA and a DC maturation agent, a CpG containing oligonucleotide, to cDC1 in vivo and show that it was more effective than Clec9a targeting of TAP siRNA in combination with CD40 antibody. This study describes a way to manipulate the function of cDC1 cells in vivo using a broadly applicable antibody-based targeting platform to deliver multiple biological agents to specific cells in vivo to potentiate (immune) therapy and to probe the biology of specific cell types in their natural settings.

    Abstract The success of mRNA vaccines against COVID-19 is nothing short of a medical revolution. Given its chemical lability the use of mRNA as a therapeutic has been counterintuitive and met with skepticism. The development of mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines was the culmination of long and painstaking efforts by many investigators spanning over 30 years and culminating with the seminal studies of Kariko and Weissman. This review will describe one chapter in this saga, studies that have shown that mRNA can function as a therapeutic. It started with our seminal observation that dendritic cells (DCs) transfected with mRNA

    Abstract The main reason why tumors are not controlled by the immune system of the cancer patient is that tumors do not express potent tumor antigens that can be recognized by the immune system as "foreign." The current focus in developing immune-based modalities is to potentiate an immune response against the existing, albeit weak, antigens expressed in the tumor. An alternative approach is to express new, and hence potent, antigens in tumor cells in situ. To this end, we have developed an approach to generate new antigenic determinants in tumor cells using siRNA technology to inhibit nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD), a surveillance mechanism which prevents the expression of mRNAs containing a premature termination codon. Targeting siRNA inhibition to tumor cells--an essential requisite because of the constitutive nature and physiological roles of the NMD process--is accomplished by using a novel targeting technology based on using oligonucleotide aptamer ligands. Aptamers or aptamer-targeted siRNA conjugates, unlike antibodies, can be synthesized in a chemical process providing a more straightforward and cost-effective manufacturing and regulatory approval process to generate clinical-grade reagents. In murine tumor models, the aptamer-targeted siRNA-mediated NMD inhibition in tumor cells led to significant inhibition of tumor growth, which was superior to best-in-class "conventional" cancer vaccination protocols. Tumor-targeted NMD inhibition forms the basis of a simple, broadly useful, and clinically feasible approach to enhance the antigenicity of disseminated tumors leading to their immune recognition and rejection. The cell-free chemically synthesized oligonucleotide backbone of aptamer-siRNAs reduces the risk of immunogenicity and enhances the feasibility of generating reagents suitable for clinical use.

    Abstract Glioblastomas are heterogeneous and have a poor prognosis. Glioblastoma cells interact with their neighbors to form a tumor-permissive and immunosuppressive microenvironment. Short noncoding RNAs are relevant mediators of the dynamic crosstalk among cancer, stromal, and immune cells in establishing the glioblastoma microenvironment. In addition to the ease of combinatorial strategies that are capable of multimodal modulation for both reversing immune suppression and enhancing antitumor immunity, their small size provides an opportunity to overcome the limitations of blood-brain-barrier (BBB) permeability. To enhance glioblastoma delivery, these RNAs have been conjugated with various molecules or packed within delivery vehicles for enhanced tissue-specific delivery and increased payload. Here, we focus on the role of RNA therapeutics by appraising which types of nucleotides are most effective in immune modulation, lead therapeutic candidates, and clarify how to optimize delivery of the therapeutic RNAs and their conjugates specifically to the glioblastoma microenvironment.

    Abstract Because of the large preexisting antigenic load and immunosuppressive environment within a tumor, inducing therapeutically useful antitumor immunity in cancer patients requires the development of powerful vaccination protocols. An approach gaining increasing popularity in the tumor vaccine field is to immunize cancer patients with their own DCs loaded ex vivo with tumor antigens. The underlying premise of this approach is that the efficiency and control over the vaccination process provided by ex vivo manipulation of the DCs generates an optimally potent APC and a superior method for stimulating antitumor immunity in vivo compared with the more conventional direct vaccination methods, offsetting the added cost and complexity associated with this form of customized cell therapy.
