  • Publication number: 20210253664
    Abstract: Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC) translocate endosomal Toll-Like receptor (TLR)-9 to the plasma membrane, thereby sensitizing these clonal propagating cells to respective ligands in the microenvironment. TLR9 is the cognate receptor for RNA:DNA hybrids (R-loops) and unmethylated CpG oligonucleotides in oxidized mitochondrial DNA, the latter of which is abundant in the bone marrow microenvironment as a result of massive medullary pyroptotic cytolytic cell death. Both ligands are important danger-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) triggering innate immune activation and chronic inflammation that contributes to MDS pathogenesis. In an effort to neutralize these DAMPs and disrupt this feed-forward inflammatory cascade, a chimeric protein was designed fusing the external epitopes of TLR9 to the Fc domain of human IgG4 to serve as a decoy receptor or ligand trap recognizing extracellular RNA:DNA hybrids (R-loops) and oxidized mitochondrial DNA.
