In viable healthy cells, membrane phospholipids are asymmetrically distributed across the lipid bilayer, whereby the anionic phospholipid phosphatidylserine is virtually all distributed on the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane. During apoptosis, phospholipid asymmetry collapses and PS is externalized to the external leaflet where it serves as an "eat-me" signal for efferocytosis, the process whereby dying cells are engulfed and degraded by phagocytes. PS is also externalized on viable activated tumor endothelial cells, stromal cells and cancer cells in the tumor microenvironment reflecting a pathophysiological state of solid cancers that function to suppress host anti-tumor immunity. Several strategies have been envisioned to target dysregulated PS in the tumor microenvironment including PS binding proteins such as Annexin V and PS-targeting monoclonal antibodies (Bavituximab) with promising preclinical results. Here, in an attempt to enhance the efficacy of PS-targeting therapeutics, we have generated a series of recombinant chimeric fusion proteins that fuse type I and type III IFNs (IFN-β-IFN-λ) into a single polypeptide chain separated by a short linker. The IFN-β-IFN-λ fusion proteins retain functions of both type I and type III IFNs but show combined effects to improve biological function as well as enhance anti-tumor activities. To localize IFNs to sites of externalized PS, we next fused the IFN-β-IFN-λ chimeric protein to the PS-targeting gamma-carboxyglutamic acid-rich (Gla) domain of Growth Arrest Specific factor 6 (Gas-6), rendering these IFN biologics as PS targeting modalities. Gas6-IFN-β-IFN-λ proteins selectively bind PS as evident by solid-phase ELISA assays as well as bind PS-positive cells, including apoptotic cells and cells that express CDC50 subunit mutant of the ATP11C flippase.
