Methods of modulating the ox40 receptor to treat cancer

InactiveUS20110008368A1Library screeningBiological material analysisDisease4-1BB ligand
Numerous disease states, such as human allergic, autoimmune, and autoimmune diseases, and cancer, may be treated by targeting OX40 / OX4OL. OX4OL inhibits the generation of Tr1 cells from naïve and memory CD4+ T cells. This unique function of OX4OL is not shared by two other costimulatory TNF-family members, GITR-ligand and 4-1BB-ligand. It has been shown that signaling the OX40-receptor on human T cells by antibodies, small molecules, or the OX4OL modulates the generation and function of IL-10 producing Foxp3+ Treg immunosuppressive T cells and blocks Foxp3+ Treg function. Further, provided are high throughput methods for identifying compounds that can inhibit the immunosuppressive function of IL-10 producing Tr1 cells.

Methods to Treat Disease States by Influencing the Signaling of Ox-40-Receptors and High Throughput Screening Methods for Identifying Substances Therefor

OX40L inhibits the generation of IL-10-producing Tr1 cells from naïve and memory CD4+ T cells induced by the immunuosuppressive drugs dexamethasone and vitamin D3. This unique function of OX40L is not shared by two other costimulatory TNF-family members, GITR-ligand and 4-1BB-ligand. OX40L also strongly inhibits the generation of IL-10-producing Tr1 cells induced by two physiological stimuli provided by inducible costimulatory ligand and immature DCs and inhibits the production of IL-10 by regulatory T cells. It has thus been shown that signaling the OX40-receptor on human T cells by monoclonal antibodies, small molecules, or OX40L regulates the generation and function of IL-10 producing immunosuppressive T cells. Also provided are high throughput methods for identifying substances that promote or inhibit the generation and function of IL-10 producing T cells. Numerous disease states, such as human allergic, autoimmune, and autoimmune diseases, and cancer, may be treated by targeting OX40 / OX40L.
