Modifying hematopoietic stem cells to increase pd-l1 expression
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11879137B2) discloses an ex vivo method for producing modified hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) with increased expression of the programmed cell death-1 receptor ligand (PD-L1). The method involves contacting HSCs with an anti-miRNA oligonucleotide that inhibits miR-1905, leading to enhanced PD-L1 expression in the cells. The anti-miRNA oligonucleotide can be introduced to the cells using either a viral or non-viral vector.
The modified HSCs generated through this method can be obtained from various sources such as bone marrow, umbilical cord, or peripheral blood, and can be derived from healthy individuals or those with diagnosed autoimmune diseases. The modified HSCs, which can also be cryopreserved, are intended for use in treating autoimmune disorders or cancer in patients. The patent also covers compositions and populations of these modified HSCs, as well as methods for administering them to individuals in need of treatment for autoimmune disorders or cancer, including Type 1 diabetes (TID). The method outlined in the patent involves steps such as ex vivo culturing of the modified HSCs and establishing the expression of PD-L1 on the cells before administration to the patient.
