Isolation of human peripheral blood γδ T cells

50-150ml of fresh peripheral blood or buffy coat units were obtained from healthy volunteers and 15ml of fresh peripheral blood were obtained from CLL patients. Blood from Buffy Coat units was used undiluted and fresh blood samples were used diluted in a 1:1 ratio (volume-to-volume) with PBS. Blood/PBS was centrifuged in Ficol-Paque (Histopaque-1077; Sigma-Aldrich) in a volume ratio of 1:3 (1 part ficol to 3 parts blood) for 35 minutes at 1.500 rpm and 25°C. The interphase containing mononuclear cells (PBMCs) was collected and washed (in PBS). Unwanted TCRαβ+ T lymphocytes were labelled by incubation in the presence of a murine anti-TCRαβ monoclonal antibody conjugated to Biotin (clone BW242/412), according to manufacturer’s instructions (Miltenyi Biotec GmbH, Germany). Cells were labelled with a murine anti-Biotin mAb coupled to magnetic microbeads. The cell suspension was loaded onto a LS magnetic column (Miltenyi Biotec) and TCRαβ+ T lymphocytes were magnetically depleted (and discarded). CD3+ cells present in the remaining cell population were labelled with a murine anti-CD3 mAb (Miltenyi Biotec, clone OKT-3), conjugated to superparamagnetic iron dextran particles. Cells were loaded onto a LS magnetic separation column and CD3+ cells were positively selected. Cells were labelled with the following fluorescent antibodies: anti-CD3–PerCP-Cy5.5 (Biolegend; clone SK7); anti- TCR-Vδ1 -APC (Miltenyi Biotec, clone REA173); anti–Mouse IgG1κ-APC Isotype Ctrl (Miltenyi Biotec; clone IS5-21F5), and analysed on a Fortessa II flow cytometer (BD Biosciences).

In vivo experimental design

We used a previously described model of xenografted human CLL upon sub-cutaneous adoptive transfer of CLL/SLL-derived MEC-1 cells into Balb/cRag-/-c-/- (BRG) animals, which we further adapted using NOD-SCIDγc-/- (NSG) animals as hosts. In order to ensure that animals receiving treatment or PBS control were tumor-bearing animals, we transduced MEC-1 CLL cells with firefly-luciferase in order to detect and measure tumor engraftment at early time-points before ascribing treatment cells. After 7 or 4 days (in different studies) we injected luciferin i.p. to determine tumour load as a function of luminescence, before ascribing treatment (or PBS control) to the animals. Animals were distributed randomly in cages and assigned to each treatment (PBS or DOT-Cells) according to luminescence measured at day 7, in such a way that animal with highest luminescence received treatment, second highest received PBS, third highest received treatment, etc. This resulted in a non-randomized distribution into groups but randomized distribution in the different cages. 2 additional animals received DOT-Cells in the indicated experiments for initial homing analysis. We performed two 107 or 2x107 DOT-Cells transfers (within 5 days), using cells from one different donor per experiment. Tumor was measured using a Caliper and taking three perpendicular measurements. The formula used was ½ x L x W x H. (1). Animals were sacrificed when tumor measurements reached 1000mm3.

Luminescence Analysis

After transduction of MEC-1 Cell line with GFP-firefly luciferase, growing cells were screened and sorted according to GFP expression using a FACS-Aria (Becton Dickinson, USA), up to >95% GFP positive cells. These cells were then kept in culture until transferred subcutaneous into host animals (in 50µl PBS). At the indicated time points after transfer, animals were anesthetized (Ketamin/Medetomidine) and Luciferin was injected (i.p.). 4 min later luciferase activity was detected and acquired using IVIS Lumina (Calliper LifeSciences) at the IMM bioimaging facilities. Anesthesia was then reverted and animals returned to previous housing.

Lymphocyte counts

Cell counts were performed with a hemocytometer or using Accuri Flow cytometer (Becton Dickinson, USA). Counts per organ were estimated when parts of the organ were sampled for histological analysis by weighting organs before and after the samples were split. Numbers presented are then corrected for the whole organ. In Bone Marrow data, absolute numbers were calculated and are displayed for one femur.

Histopathology and Immunohistochemistry

Mice were sacrificed with anesthetic overdose, necropsies were performed and selected organs (lung, heart, intestine, spleen, liver, kidney, reproductive tract, brain, cerebellum, spinal cord, and femur) were harvested, fixed in 10% neutral-buffered formalin, embedded in paraffin and 3μm sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E). Bones were further decalcified in Calci-Clear™ (Fisher Scientific) prior to embedding. Tissue sections were examined by a pathologist, blinded to experimental groups, in a Leica DM2500 microscope coupled to a Leica MC170 HD microscope camera. Immunohistochemical staining for CD3 (Dako, cat. no. A0452) was performed by the Histology and Comparative Pathology Laboratory at the IMM, using standard protocols, with a Dako Autostainer Link 48. Antigen heat-retrieval was performed in DAKO PT link with low pH solution (pH 6), and incubation with ENVISION kit (Peroxidase/DAB detection system, DAKO, Santa Barbara, CA) was followed by Harri’s hematoxylin counterstaining (Bio Otica, Milan, IT). Negative control included the absence of primary antibodies; and CD3 staining was not observed in the negative controls. Images were acquired in a Leica DM2500 microscope, coupled with a Leica MC170 HD microscope camera.

Mouse Blood Biochemistry

Mice were deeply anaesthetised and blood was collected from the heart to heparin-coated tubes, sent for analysis of biochemical parameters shown at an independent laboratory. Biochemical parameters were measured in serum, in a RX monaco clinical chemistry analyser (RANDOX).

Table S2. List of reagents tested to optimize the DOT cell production method.

Healthy donor TCRγδ+ PBLs were isolated by MACS and cultured at 1 million cells/ml in 96 well plates, at 37ºC and 5% CO2. Cells were expanded in complete medium (OpTmizer CTS, Thermo Fisher Scientific) supplemented with 5% autologous plasma, 2mM L-glutamine and the above described growth factors. Cells were counted and cell phenotype was analyzed by flow cytometry at the end of the culture period. Fold expansion rate of Vδ1+ T cells was calculated as: (absolute number of Vδ1+ T cells at the end of the culture)/ (absolute number of Vδ1+ T cells at day 0 of culture).

Figure S4. DOT cells inhibit MEC-1 leukemia cell growth in BRG hosts.

A. To assess the behavior and potential efficacy of DOT cells against CLL in vivo, we took advantage of a xenograft model of human CLL previously shown to reproduce several aspects of the disease and employed to demonstrate efficiency of anti-CD23 CAR-T cells. The model relies on the sub-cutaneous injection of MEC-1 cells into Balb/cRag-/-c-/- (BRG) animals. Schematic of the experiment is shown. 1x107 MEC-1 CLL tumor cells or 1x107 DOT cells were used in each inoculation. B. Picture shows an example of luminescence quantification at day 7 after tumor transfer. At this time-point, tumor is too small for Caliper measurement; this pre-quantification according to luminescence allows the seriation of tumor size before ascribing treatment or PBS control. C. Representative DOT cell recovery, gated on total CD45+ (human + mouse) cells from the indicated organs, at 60 hours after transfer of the DOT cell product shown on the left. We were able to recover human Vδ1+ cells early after transfer. In the spleen and bone marrow, DOT cell recovery was vestigial. D. Tumor size as a function of time in animals receiving either DOT cells or PBS. Vertical dotted lines indicate days of treatment. Black line with filled symbols represents mean tumor size in animals receiving PBS (n=8) and green line and open symbols represent mean tumor size in animals receiving DOT cells We observed a reduction in bulk tumor size in DOT-cell-treated animals compared to mock (PBS-injected) controls (n=8) (*p<0.05, Student’s t-test).

Figure S5. DOT cell distribution and persistence in NSG hosts.

This figure complements Fig. 4. A. Schematic of the experiment. Each host received 1x107 MEC-1 CLL tumor cells and either 2x107 or 1x107 (halved dose) DOT cells/transfer. B. Representative DOT cell recovery, gated on total CD45+ (human + mouse) cells from the indicated organs, at 60 hours after transfer of the DOT cell product shown on the left. C. DOT cell recovery, gated on total CD45+ (human + mouse) cells in the liver, at 55 days after transfer of DOT cells, in representative tumor-bearing (left) or tumor-naïve (right) hosts.
