Disclosed are means of stimulating systemic immunity and reduction of post-surgery tumor metastasis through the concurrent intralymphatic inhibition of NR2F6 and treatment with cannabidiol. In some embodiments NR2F6 is inhibited by high pressure transient delivery of short interfering RNA into tumor draining lymph nodes concurrent with systemic administration of cannabidiol. This combination may be performed together with means that induce immunogenic tumor cell death. Through the combination of immunogenic cell death and immune stimulation, the invention provides a means of enhancing the abscopal effect and in some embodiments to cause immunological mediated destruction primary and secondary neoplasia.

Reduction of post-surgery cancer metastasis by combination of cannabidiol and NR2F6 inhibition

Disclosed are means, methods and compositions of matter useful for suppressing pathological production of new blood vessels in conditions such as cancer and wet macular degeneration. In one embodiment the invention provides silencing of NRFusing nucleic acid based approaches such as RNA interference, antisense oligonucleotides, or DICER. In another embodiment, the invention teaches the administration of small molecule NRFinhibitors as means of selectively inhibiting pathological but not healthy angiogenesis.

Suppression of pathological angiogenesis by inhibition of NR2F6

The present technology is directed to modulators of nuclear receptor activity, specifically to the modulation of NR2F6 activity and NR2F6 utilizing compounds, and the immune modulation and modulation of cancer stem cell activity through administration of compounds described herein.

Small molecule agonists and antagonists of NR2F6 activity

The present technology is directed to modulators of nuclear receptor activity, specifically to the modulation of NR2F6 activity and NR2F6 utilizing compounds, and the immune modulation and modulation of cancer stem cell activity through administration of compounds described herein to humans.

Small molecule agonists and antagonists of NR2F6 activity in humans

Disclosed are compounds useful for alteration of NR2F6 activity. In some embodiments of the invention compounds disclosed are utilized for stimulation of NR2F6 activity, alone, or in combination with PKC activation. In other embodiments, the invention teaches use of compounds for inhibition of NR2F6 activation. Stimulation of NR2F6 within the context of the invention is useful, intra alia, for induction of immune inhibition, or stimulation of cellular proliferation without significant induction of differentiation. Inhibition of NR2F6 is desired in situations where the practitioner of the invention seeks to augment immune response, or induce cellular differentiation. In another embodiment, inhibition of NR2F6 expression is desired in situations where inhibition of cancer or cancer stem cells is needed.

Small molecule modulators of NR2F6 activity

Disclosed are compositions of matters, cells, and treatment protocols useful for induction of anticancer responses in a patient suffering from cancer. In one embodiment the invention provides the use of NR2F6 silencing or gene editing in cord blood cells possessing anti-tumor activity in order to induce potentiated killer cells suitable for therapeutic use. In one embodiment said allogeneic cord blood killer cells are administered to initiate a cascade of antitumor immune responses, with initially responses mediated by allogeneic killer cells, and followed by endogenous immune responses.

Universal donor checkpoint inhibitor silenced/gene edited cord blood killer cells

Disclosed are antigen specific cancer vaccines in which immunogenic epitopes are produced intracellularly by administration of modified mRNA encoding said immunogenic epitopes. In one embodiment of the invention, said modified mRNA encodes peptides derived from the protein survivin. By directly inducing gene expression of the antigens to which an immune response is desired, immunogenic peptides are generated intracellularly, thus allowing for a wider repertoire of epitopes to be presented to the adaptive immune system, which augments likelihood of successful induction of immunity.

Antigen specific mRNA cellular cancer vaccines

Disclosed are means, methods, and compositions of matter useful for generation of cancer inhibitory effector cells producing interleukin-17 (IL-17). In one embodiment a cellular population is obtained, said cellular population is exposed to agents capable of inhibiting NR2F6, whereby said inhibition of NR2F6 results in upregulation of IL-17 production, said upregulation of IL-17 production associated with acquisition of anti-tumor activity.

Described are compositions of matter, protocols, and treatment means for induction of immune mediated killing in dogs suffering from cancer. The invention provides means of extracting peripheral blood from a canine patient, expanding immunocytes capable of killing cancer cells in vitro, and re-administering said immunocytes into a patient in need of therapy. In one embodiment, immunocytes expanded are T cells possessing tumor cytotoxic activity induced by stimulation of NKG2D.
