Gene transfer of human CD40Ig does not prevent rejection in a non-human primate kidney allotransplantation model.

Abstract：

BACKGROUND:Blockade of costimulation signaling required for immune response, such as CD40/CD40L and CD28/B7, is a reasonable strategy to prevent rejection and in defined combinations may allow donor specific tolerance. Indeed, in rodents, costimulation blockade with CD28/B7 antagonists or with CD40Ig was able to induce regulatory T cells and transplant tolerance whereas in primates, anti-CD40 antibodies, anti-CD40L antibodies or CTLA4Ig, used as monotherapy, significantly delayed graft rejection. METHODS:Using an adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector mediated gene transfer of a human CD40Ig fusion protein (hCD40Ig) in primates, we evaluated the capacity of this costimulation blockade molecule interfering with CD40/CD40L signaling in prolonging kidney transplants in cynomolgus monkeys. RESULTS:This gene transfer strategy allowed for maintaining a plateau of hCD40Ig production within two months and avoided a high-scale production phase of this molecule. Although the hCD40Ig was able to bind efficiently to human and macaque CD40L and high (>200 μg/ml) transgene expression was obtained, no effect on graft survival was observed. In addition, there was no inhibition of humoral response to vaccination. In vitro, hCD40Ig strongly increased mixed lymphocyte reaction, and when compared to the anti-CD40L antibody h5C8, was not as potent to induce complement-dependent cytotoxicity. CONCLUSION:These data suggest that CD40/CD40L blockade using a non-depleting CD40Ig fusion protein, a therapeutic strategy that showed efficacy in rodents, is not able to modulate the immune response in primates. These data highlight important biological differences between rodent and primate models to evaluate therapeutic strategies at the preclinical level.
