Title: T Cell Biology & Targets in Autoimmune & Inflammatory Disease Poster

Session Type: Poster Session (Sunday)

Session Time: 9:00AM-11:00AM

Background/Purpose: Medical and patient unmet needs still existed in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) global market due to the side effects treated for long duration and sometimes non-response to existing medicines. We developed a novel synthetic peptide, KINE-101 with distinct mode of action to activate the regulatory T (Treg) cells.

Methods: The efficacy of KINE-101 was investigated by collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) mouse model. The activity and differentiation of Treg cells by KINE-101 were determined by FACS analysis using various Treg cells markers. Treg cells depletion study was evaluated using CD25 antibody. Autoantibody production was measured by ELISA and germinal center B cells were stained with B cells markers. Osteoclastogenesis was assessed Safranin O staining using joint tissue section. Preliminary toxicology study was accomplished to confirm the safety of KINE-101.

Results: In CIA model, KINE-101 showed similar efficacy in controlling arthritis index compared to MTX. Surprisingly, activation and differentiation of Treg cells were significantly increased by treatment of KINE-101. The effect of KINE-101 mediated by Treg cells was confirmed by Treg cell depletion study in CIA mouse model. Moreover, collagen type II specific autoantibody production were dramatically decreased and germinal center B cells were inactivated by treatment of KINE-101. Safranin-O staining results show KINE-101 suppresses cartilage damage through inhibiting osteoclastogenesis. No significant toxicological findings were observed as a result of preliminary toxicology study.

Conclusion: We developed a novel synthetic peptide, KINE-101, for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. KINE-101 shows high remission of RA symptoms in CIA model by activating Treg cells resulting in reduction of autoantibody production. These results suggest that KINE-101 may serve as a first-in-class therapeutic to control autoimmune diseases with Treg cells regulation.

All abstracts accepted to ACR Convergence are under media embargo once the ACR has notified presenters of their abstract’s acceptance. They may be presented at other meetings or published as manuscripts after this time but should not be discussed in non-scholarly venues or outlets. The following embargo policies are strictly enforced by the ACR.

Accepted abstracts are made available to the public online in advance of the meeting and are published in a special online supplement of our scientific journal, Arthritis & Rheumatology. Information contained in those abstracts may not be released until the abstracts appear online. In an exception to the media embargo, academic institutions, private organizations, and companies with products whose value may be influenced by information contained in an abstract may issue a press release to coincide with the availability of an ACR abstract on the ACR website. However, the ACR continues to require that information that goes beyond that contained in the abstract (e.g., discussion of the abstract done as part of editorial news coverage) is under media embargo until 10:00 AM ET on November 14, 2024. Journalists with access to embargoed information cannot release articles or editorial news coverage before this time. Editorial news coverage is considered original articles/videos developed by employed journalists to report facts, commentary, and subject matter expert quotes in a narrative form using a variety of sources (e.g., research, announcements, press releases, events, etc.).

Violation of this policy may result in the abstract being withdrawn from the meeting and other measures deemed appropriate. Authors are responsible for notifying colleagues, institutions, communications firms, and all other stakeholders related to the development or promotion of the abstract about this policy. If you have questions about the ACR abstract embargo policy, please contact ACR abstracts staff at [email protected].
