ACT using ex vivo expanded peripheral blood T-cells after multiagent chemotherapy enhances tumor-free survival of dogs with B-cell lymphoma (LSA). Since 2008, our group has been performing autologous peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cell transplants (autoPBHSCT) for the treatment of canine high-grade B-cell LSA, although relapse of residual disease is a common cause of reduced survival in ~70% of treated dogs. We reasoned that a more aggressive treatment protocol combining CHOP (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone) chemotherapy, autoPBHSCT, and ACT to treat 10 dogs with B-cell LSA could lead to better outcomes when compared to dogs treated with CHOP chemotherapy and autoPBHSCT alone. Using this protocol, once dogs achieved complete hematologic reconstitution post-autoPBHSCT, CD3+ CD8+ and CD3+CD4+ T-cells were expanded from the peripheral blood at a commercial laboratory. Two to four ACT infusions were given to each dog, with a total of 23 infusions given. Infusions were administered with no complications or adverse events. The median cell dose for all infusions was 5.62 x 106 cells/kg (range: 2.59 x 106-8.55 x 106 cells/kg). 4/10 (40%) of dogs were cured of their disease (defined as disease-free for ≥2 years post-autoPBHSCT). Our results confirm that the autoPBHSCT protocol did not hinder the in vitro expansion of autologous peripheral blood T-cells and that the final product could be administered safely, with no adverse events recorded. Finally, since only ten dogs were treated, our results can only suggest that the administration of ACT to dogs after multiagent chemotherapy and autoPHSCT did not lead to a statistically significant increase in median disease-free interval and overall survival when compared to dogs who received CHOP chemotherapy and autoPHSCT alone.}, journal={FRONTIERS IN VETERINARY SCIENCE}, author={Gareau, Alexandra and Ripoll, Alexandra Z. and Suter, Steven E.}, year={2021}, month={Dec} }

The gene encoding a protein-G derived albumin binding domain (ABD) was fused to that of a chimeric polypeptide (CP), and the ABD-CP fusion was recombinantly synthesized by bacterial expression of the gene. Doxorubicin (DOX) was conjugated to the C-terminus of the ABD-CP fusion, and conjugation of multiple copies of the drug to one end of the ABD-CP triggered its self-assembly into ∼100 nm diameter spherical micelles. ABD-decorated micelles exhibited submicromolar binding affinity for albumin and also preserved their spherical morphology in the presence of albumin. In a murine model, albumin-binding micelles exhibited dose-independent pharmacokinetics, whereas naked micelles exhibited dose-dependent pharmacokinetics. In addition, in a canine model, albumin binding micelles resulted in a 3-fold increase in plasma half-life and 6-fold increase in plasma exposure as defined by the area under the curve (AUC) of the drug, compared with naked micelles. Furthermore, in a murine colon carcinoma model, albumin-binding nanoparticles demonstrated lower uptake by the reticuloendothelial system (RES) system organs, the liver and spleen, that are the main target organs of toxicity for nanoparticulate delivery systems and higher uptake by the tumor than naked micelles. The increased uptake by s.c.

To advance the discovery of canine CTL epitopes, we sought to determine whether a putative classical MHC class Ia gene, Dog Leukocyte Antigen (DLA)-88, presents peptides from a viral pathogen, canine distemper virus (CDV). To investigate this possibility, DLA-88*508:01, an allele prevalent in Golden Retrievers, was expressed as a FLAG-tagged construct in canine histiocytic cells to allow affinity purification of peptide-DLA-88 complexes and subsequent elution of bound peptides. Pattern analysis of self peptide sequences, which were determined by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), permitted binding preferences to be inferred. DLA-88*508:01 binds peptides that are 9-to-12 amino acids in length, with a modest preference for 9- and 11-mers. Hydrophobic residues are favored at positions 2 and 3, as are K, R or F residues at the C-terminus. Testing motif-matched and -unmatched synthetic peptides via peptide-MHC surface stabilization assay using a DLA-88*508:01-transfected, TAP-deficient RMA-S line supported these conclusions. With CDV infection, 22 viral peptides ranging from 9-to-12 residues in length were identified in DLA-88*508:01 eluates by LC-MS/MS. Combined motif analysis and surface stabilization assay data suggested that 11 of these 22 peptides, derived from CDV hemagglutinin, large polymerase, matrix, nucleocapsid, and V proteins, were processed and presented, and thus, potential targets of anti-viral CTL in DLA-88*508:01-bearing dogs.

Due to strong similarities in metabolism of iniparib between humans and dogs, a veterinary clinical trial in pet dogs with spontaneous cancers was designed to answer specific questions pertaining to pharmacokinetic exposures and tolerability of iniparib. Dogs were treated with iniparib alone and in combination with carboplatin chemotherapy. Iniparib doses ranged between 10–70 mg/kg intravenously (IV). Plasma, tumor and normal tissue samples were collected before and at various time points scheduled after exposure for pharmacokinetic and biologic analysis. The primary endpoints included characterization of dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) and determination of the drug exposures that could be achieved in both normal and tumor tissues. Nineteen dogs were treated. DLT included fever, anorexia, diarrhea, neutropenia, and thrombocytopenia; most effects were attributable to carboplatin based on the timing of adverse event onset. The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of iniparib was not identified. Moderate to high variability in plasma exposure was noted for iniparib and all metabolites between animals. When quantifiable, iniparib and metabolite plasma:tumor ratios were < 0.088 and <1.7, respectively. In this study, iniparib was well tolerated as a single agent and in combination with carboplatin over a range of doses. However, clinically relevant concentrations of the parent drug and selected metabolites were not detectable in canine tumor tissues at any studied dose, thus eliminating expectations for clinical responses in dogs or humans. Negative clinical trials in humans, and the uncertainties of its mechanism of action, ultimately led to the decision to stop clinical development of the drug.

VH1-44 gene expression was associated with a statistically better overall survival (p = 0.039) in cBCL patients, as well as in the cDLBCL subset of patients (p = 0.038). These findings suggest that VH gene selection in cBCL is not random and may therefore have functional implications for cBCL lymphomagenesis, in addition to being a useful prognostic biomarker.}, number={3-4}, journal={Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Chen, Hsiao-Wei and Small, George W. and Motsinger-Reif, Alison and Suter, Steven E. and Richards, Kristy L.}, year={2014}, month={Feb}, pages={125–130} }

CaridianBCT apheresis machines require a ~285 mL priming volume (extracorporeal blood) that is withdrawn from the patient in ~10 minutes. Therefore, apheresis in dogs has generally been limited to dogs > ~20 kg to assure <20% of the blood volume is removed in the priming phase. ANIMALS/PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: Three dogs weighing <14 kg (13.6, 10.5, and 9.9 kg) with lymphoma that underwent apheresis.


MANAGEMENT
The dogs were premedicated for placement of apheresis catheters with hydromorphone (0.1 mg kg(-1) ) IM. Anesthesia was induced with propofol, to effect, intravenously and general anesthesia was maintained with isoflurane in oxygen. Following catheter placement, dogs were allowed to recover from isoflurane but were kept sedated with either a dexmedetomidine constant rate infusion (CRI) or a propofol CRI. Real time autologous blood priming was not performed in any of the dogs. Instead, priming solutions were composed of a combination of hetastarch, lactated Ringer's solution, and/or autologous blood that was harvested 4 days before the procedure. During apheresis, dogs received anticoagulant citrate-dextrose, solution-A (ACD-A) to prevent clotting and 10% calcium gluconate as needed to maintain normal ionized calcium concentrations. Dogs were monitored for cardiovascular and cardiopulmonary stability, anemia and lactic acidosis.


FOLLOW-UP
All of the dogs had cardiovascular and cardiopulmonary values within clinically acceptable ranges. Immediately following apheresis all of the dogs were mildly to moderately anemic (PCV; 17-35%) although none of the dogs required a transfusion or had an increased lactate concentration.


CONCLUSIONS
Dogs as small as 9.9 kg can successfully undergo apheresis with a variety of priming solutions. Dexmedetomidine or propofol given as a CRI provides sufficient sedation for this procedure.}, number={4}, journal={Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Posner, Lysa P and Willcox, Jennifer L and Suter, Steven E}, year={2013}, month={Jul}, pages={403–409} }

However, CD8(+) lymphocytes fail to eliminate the virus and a progressive T cell immune dysfunction develops during the course of chronic lentiviral infection. To further define this CD8(+) immune dysfunction we utilized PARR (PCR for antigen receptor rearrangements), a technique which measures clonally expanded lymphocyte populations by comparison of highly conserved T cell receptor (TCR) regions to identify the prevalence of clonal CD8(+) T cells following FIV infection. We then compared phenotype, mRNA profiles, CD8(+) proliferation and plasma viremia during acute and chronic infection for PARR positive (PARR(+)) and PARR negative (PARR(-)) Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) infected cats. We demonstrated that approximately forty percent of the FIV(+) cats examined exhibit CD8(+) clonality compared to none of the FIV(-) control cats. There were no phenotypic differences between PARR(+) and PARR(-) CD8(+) lymphocytes from FIV(+) cats but retrospective analysis of plasma viremia over the course of infection revealed a delayed peak in plasma viremia and a decline in lymphocyte counts were observed in the PARR(+) group during acute infection. CD8(+) lymphocytes isolated from chronically infected PARR(-) cats exhibited significantly higher mRNA expression of IFN-γ and IL-2 following mitogenic stimulation when compared to PARR(+) CD8(+) lymphocytes. These data suggest that clonal CD8(+) expansion may be related to impaired control of acute viremia and less effective CD8(+) anti-viral function. Using PARR to assess changes in CD8(+) clonality during the progression from acute to chronic FIV infection may help to better characterize the factors which contribute to CD8(+) anergy and lentiviral persistence.}, number={3-4}, journal={Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Miller, Michelle M. and Thompson, Elizabeth M. and Suter, Steven E. and Fogle, Jonathan E.}, year={2013}, month={Apr}, pages={200–208} }

Using canine lymphoid cell lines, we found that L-asp sensitivity is strongly negatively correlated with the level of methylation of the asparagine synthetase (ASNS) promoter. Selection for in vitro resistance was accompanied by increased ASNS promoter methylation and decreased ASNS mRNA expression. In addition, treatment with the hypomethylating agent 5-azacytidine increased resistance to L-asp. ASNS methylation and expression is not predictive of overall survival or progression-free survival in canine lymphoma patients treated with L-asp.

CD34(+) cells isolated from young normal dogs were transduced, using a 2 day protocol, with an amphotropic retroviral vector that expressed enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) and the canine common gamma chain (gammac) cDNAs. Following transplantation of the transduced cells, normal donor peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) appeared by 1 month post-bone marrow transplant (BMT) and rescued three of five treated dogs from their lethal immunodeficiency. PCR and flow cytometric analysis of post-BMT PBL documented the peripheral EGFP expressing cells as CD3(+) T cells, which varied from 0% to 28%. Sorting of EGFP(+) and EGFP(-) peripheral blood T cells from two dogs, followed by vector PCR analysis, showed no evidence of vector shutdown. EGFP expression in B cells or monocytes was not detected. These marking experiments demonstrate that the transduction protocol did not abolish the lymphoid engraftment capability of ex vivo transduced canine CD34(+) cells and supports the potential utility of the MSCV retroviral vector for gene transfer to XSCID affected canine hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC).}, number={3-4}, journal={VETERINARY IMMUNOLOGY AND IMMUNOPATHOLOGY}, author={Suter, Steven E. and Gouthro, Terry A. and O'Malley, Thomas and Hartnett, Brian J. and McSweeney, Peter A. and Moore, Peter F. and Felsburg, Peter J. and Haskins, Mark E. and Henthorn, Paula S.}, year={2007}, month={Jun}, pages={183–196} }

Both canine cell types were shown to express Ram-1 (the amphotropic retroviral receptor) mRNA. Supernatants containing infectious viruses were produced using both stable (PA317) and transient (Phoenix cells) amphotropic virus producer cell lines. Centrifugation (spinfection) combined with the addition of polybrene produced the highest transduction efficiencies, infecting approximately 75% of Cf2Th cells. An average of 11% of highly enriched canine CD34(+) cells could be transduced in a protocol that utilized spinfection and plates coated with the fibronectin fragment CH-296 (Retronectin). Indirect assays showed the vector-encoded canine gammac cDNA produced a gammac protein that was expressed on the cell surface of transduced cells. This strategy may result in the transduction of sufficient numbers of CD34(+) BM cells to make the treatment of canine X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency and other canine genetic diseases feasible.}, number={8}, journal={Veterinary Research Communications}, publisher={Springer Science and Business Media LLC}, author={Suter, S.

In addition, dogs are also a source of many well-characterized homologues of human genetic diseases, making them an ideal large animal model in which to evaluate gene therapy protocols. It is generally accepted that progenitor cells for many human hematopoietic cell lineages reside in the CD34+ fraction of cells from bone marrow, cord blood, or peripheral blood. In addition, CD34+ cells are the current targets for human gene therapy of diseases involving the hematopoietic system. In this study, we have isolated and characterized highly enriched populations of canine CD34+ cells isolated from dogs 1 week to 3 months of age. Bone marrow isolated from 2- to 3-week-old dogs contained up to 18% CD34+ cells and this high percentage dropped sharply with age. In in vitro 6-day liquid suspension cultures, CD34+ cells harvested from 3-week-old dogs expanded almost two times more than those from 3-month-old dogs and the cells from younger dogs were also more responsive to human Flt-3 ligand (Flt3L). In culture, the percent and number of CD34+ cells from both ages of dogs dropped sharply between 2 and 4 days, although the number of CD34+ cells at day 6 of culture was higher for cells harvested from the younger dogs. CD34+ cells harvested from both ages of dogs had similar enrichment and depletion values in CFU-GM methylcellulose assays. Canine CD34+/Rho123lo cells expressed c-kit mRNA while the CD34+/Rhohi cells did not. When transplanted to a sub-lethally irradiated recipient, CD34+ cells from 1- to 3-week-old dogs gave rise to both myeloid and lymphoid lineages in the periphery. This study demonstrates that canine CD34+ bone marrow cells have similar in vitro and in vivo characteristics as human CD34+ cells. In addition, ontogeny-related functional differences reported for human CD34+ cells appear to exist in the dog as well, suggesting pediatric CD34+ cells may be better targets for gene transfer than adult bone marrow. The demonstration of similarities between canine and human CD34+ cells enhances the dog as a large, preclinical model to evaluate strategies for improving bone marrow transplantation protocols, for gene therapy protocols that target CD34+ cells, and to study the engraftment potential of various cell populations that may contain hematopoietic progenitor cell activity.}, number={1-2}, journal={Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Suter, Steven E. and Gouthro, Terry A. and McSweeney, Peter A. and Nash, Richard A. and Haskins, Mark E. and Felsburg, Peter J. and Henthorn, Paula S.}, year={2004}, month={Sep}, pages={31–47} }

BMT for human X-SCID results in engraftment of donor T-cells and reconstitution of normal T-cell function but engraftment of few, if any, donor B-cells and poor reconstitution of humoral immune function. Canine X-SCID is also caused by mutations in the yc and has an immunological phenotype identical to that of human X-SCID. We have previously reported that transplantation of nonconditioned X-SCID dogs with unfractionated histocompatible bone marrow results in engraftment of both donor B- and T-cells and reconstitution of normal T-cell and humoral immune function. In this study, we assessed the ability of purified canine CD34+ bone marrow cells to reconstitute lymphoid populations after histocompatible BMT in 6 nonablated X-SCID dogs. All dogs showed engraftment of donor T-cells, with T-cell regeneration occurring through a thymic-dependent pathway, and had reconstituted normal T-cell function. In contrast to our previous studies, only 3 dogs had engraftment of donor B-cells and reconstituted normal antigen-specific B-cell function post-BMT. The variable donor B-cell engraftment and reconstitution of normal humoral immune function observed in this study are similar to the outcomes observed in the majority of human X-SCID patients following BMT. This study demonstrates that canine CD34+ cells contain progenitors capable of immune reconstitution and is the first study to document the ability of CD34+ bone marrow cells to reconstitute normal B- and T-cell function in a nonablated large-animal model of BMT. This study also demonstrates that the quality of immune reconstitution following CD34+ BMT may be dosage dependent Thus canine X-SCID provides a large-animal preclinical model that can be used not only to determine the optimal conditions for both donor B- and T-cell engraftment following CD34 BMT, but also to develop and evaluate strategies for gene therapy protocols that target CD34 cells.}, number={4}, journal={Biology of Blood and Marrow Transplantation}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Hartnett, Brian J and Yao, DaPeng and Suter, Steven E and Ellinwood, N.Matthew and Henthorn, Paula S and Moore, Peter F and McSweeney, Peter A and Nash, Richard A and Brown, Jeffrey D and Weinberg, Kenneth I and et al.}, year={2002}, month={Apr}, pages={188–197} }
