ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Radiolabeled-antibodies usually display non-specific liver accumulation that may impair image analysis and antibody biodistribution. Here, we investigated whether Fc silencing influenced antibody biodistribution. We compared recombinant 89Zr-labeled antibodies (human IgG1 against different targets) with wild-type Fc and with mutated Fc (LALAPG triple mutation to prevent binding to Fc gamma receptors; FcγR). After antibody injection in mice harboring xenografts of different tumor cell lines or of immortalized human myoblasts, we analyzed antibody biodistribution by PET-CT and conventional biodistribution analysis. RESULTS: Accumulation in liver was strongly reduced and tumor-specific targeting was increased for the antibodies with mutated Fc compared with wild-type Fc. CONCLUSION: Antibodies with reduced binding to FcγR display lower liver accumulation and better tumor-to-liver ratios. These findings need to be taken into account to improve antibody-based theragnostic approaches.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: Non-targeted effects, including bystander and systemic effects, play a crucial role during Auger targeted radionuclide therapy. Here, we investigated whether small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) produced by irradiated cells could contribute to the bystander cytotoxic effects in vitro and also to therapeutic efficacy in vivo, after their injection in tumor xenografts. MATERIALS AND METHODS: B16F10 melanoma donor cells were exposed to radiolabeled antibodies (Auger radioimmunotherapy, RIT) for 48 h or to X-rays (donor cells). Then, donor cells were incubated with fresh medium for 2 h to prepare conditioned medium (CM) that was transferred onto recipient cells for bystander effect assessment, or used for sEVs enrichment. Resulting sEVs were incubated in vitro with recipient cells for determining bystander cytotoxicity, or injected in B16F10 melanoma tumors harbored by athymic and C57BL/6 mice. RESULTS: In vitro analysis of bystander cytotoxic effects showed that CM killed about 30-40% of melanoma cells. SEVs isolated from CM contributed to this effect. Moreover, the double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) content was increased in sEVs isolated from CM of exposed cells compared to control (not exposed), but the difference was significant only for the X-ray condition. These results were supported by immunodetection of cytosolic dsDNA in donor cells, a phenomenon that should precede dsDNA enrichment in sEVs. However, sEVs cytotoxicity could not be detected in vivo. Indeed, in athymic and in immunocompetent mice that received four intratumoral injections of sEVs (1/day), tumor growth was not delayed compared with untreated controls. Tumor growth was slightly (not significantly) delayed in immunocompetent mice treated with sEVs from X-ray-exposed cells, and significantly with sEVs purified from CM collected after 48 h of incubation. These results highlight the need to determine the optimal conditions, including radiation absorbed dose and sEVs collection time, to obtain the strongest cytotoxic effects. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates that sEVs could play a role during Auger RIT through bystander effects in vitro. No systemic effects were observed in vivo, under our experimental conditions. However, X-rays experiments showed that sEVs collection time might be influencing the nature of sEVs, a parameter that should also be investigated during Auger RIT.

ABSTRACT

Targeted radionuclide therapy (TRT) is used to treat disseminated or metastatic tumours in which conventional external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) would have unacceptable side effects. Unlike EBRT, TRT delivers low doses at a continuous low dose rate. In EBRT, the effect increases progressively with the dose rate, and biological effects (tumour control and normal tissue damage) are related to the dose according to a sigmoid curve model. This model is part of the so-called quantitative radiobiology that is mostly based on the target cell theory, according to which cell death is due to (lethal) radiation hits to vital cellular targets. This model was developed for EBRT, but was adapted to low dose-rate situations by including a parameter that reflects the time needed to repair tissue damage. However, a growing body of evidence indicates that the model should take into account also the biological effects, which are due to intercellular communications (bystander effects) and amplify the effects of radiation, as well as the immune system. Moreover, extranuclear targets must be considered, although induced intracellular and intercellular signalling pathways may ultimately result in DNA damage. It is likely that bystander effects and immune response always contribute to the overall response to TRT at different levels, and that dose and dose rate are key parameters in controlling their real contribution. We hypothesize that the dose rate is the key determinant in the balance between the physical and DNA-centred response on one side, and the biological response that integrates all subcellular compartments and intercellular signalling pathways on the other side.

ABSTRACT

Auger electron emitters (AEEs) are attractive tools in targeted radionuclide therapy to specifically irradiate tumour cells while sparing healthy tissues. However, because of their short range, AEEs need to be brought close to sensitive targets, particularly nuclear DNA, and to a lower extent, cell membrane. Therefore, radioimmunoconjugates (RIC) have been developed for specific tumour cell targeting and transportation to the nucleus. Herein, we assessed, in A-431CEA-luc and SK-OV-31B9 cancer cells that express low and high levels of HER2 receptors, two 111In-RIC consisting of the anti-HER2 antibody trastuzumab conjugated to NLS or TAT peptides for nuclear delivery. We found that NLS and TAT peptides improved the nuclear uptake of 111In-trastuzumab conjugates, but this effect was limited and non-specific. Moreover, it did not result in a drastic decrease of clonogenic survival. Indium-111 also contributed to non-specific cytotoxicity in vitro due to conversion electrons (30% of the cell killing). Comparison with [125I]I-UdR showed that the energy released in the cell nucleus by increasing the RIC's nuclear uptake or by choosing an AEE that releases more energy per decay should be 5 to 10 times higher to observe a significant therapeutic effect. Therefore, new Auger-based radiopharmaceuticals need to be developed.

ABSTRACT

Some patients with B-cell non-Hodkin lymphoma Lymphoma (NHL) become refractory to rituximab (anti-CD20 antibody) therapy associated with chemotherapy. Here, the effect of the anti-CD37 antibody-radionuclide conjugate lutetium-177 (177Lu)-lilotomab (Betalutin®) was investigated in preclinical models of NHL. In SCID mice bearing DOHH2 (transformed follicular lymphoma, FL) cell xenografts, 177Lu-lilotomab significantly delayed tumor growth, even at low activity (100 MBq/kg). In athymic mice bearing OCI-Ly8 (diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, DLBCL) or Ramos (Burkitt's lymphoma) cell xenografts, 177Lu-lilotomab activity had to be increased to 500 MBq/kg to show a significant tumor growth delay. Clonogenic and proliferation assays showed that DOHH2 cells were highly sensitive to 177Lu-lilotomab, while Ramos cells were the least sensitive, and U2932 (DLBCL), OCI-Ly8, and Rec-1 (mantle cell lymphoma) cells displayed intermediate sensitivity. The strong 177Lu-lilotomab cytotoxicity observed in DOHH2 cells correlated with reduced G2/M cell cycle arrest, lower WEE-1- and MYT-1-mediated phosphorylation of cyclin-dependent kinase-1 (CDK1), and higher apoptosis. In agreement, 177Lu-lilotomab efficacy in vitro, in vivo, and in patient samples was increased when combined with G2/M cell cycle arrest inhibitors (MK-1775 and PD-166285). These results indicate that 177Lu-lilotomab is particularly efficient in treating tumors with reduced inhibitory CDK1 phosphorylation, such as transformed FL.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: For the development of new anticancer therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals, including alpha particle emitters, it is important to determine the contribution of targeted effects in irradiated cells, and also of nontargeted effects in nonirradiated neighboring cells, because they may affect the therapeutic efficacy and contribute to side effects. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Here, we investigated the contribution of nontargeted cytotoxic and genotoxic effects in vitro and in vivo (in xenografted mice) during alpha (212Pb/212Bi, 213Bi) and Auger (125I) radioimmunotherapy (RIT). RESULTS: Between 67% and 94% (alpha RIT) and 8% and 15% (Auger RIT) of cancer cells were killed by targeted effects, whereas 7% to 36% (alpha RIT) and 27% to 29% (Auger RIT) of cells were killed by nontargeted effects. We then demonstrated that the nontargeted cell response to alpha and Auger RIT was partly driven by lipid raft-mediated activation of p38 kinase and JNK. Reactive oxygen species also played a significant role in these nontargeted effects, as demonstrated by NF-κB activation and the inhibitory effects of antioxidant enzymes and radical scavengers. Compared with RIT alone, the use of RIT with ASMase inhibitor (imipramine) or with a lipid raft disruptor (e.g., methyl-beta-cyclodextrin or filipin) led to an increase in clonogenic cell survival in vitro and to larger tumors and less tissue DNA damage in vivo. These results were supported by an inhibitory effect of pravastatin on Auger RIT. CONCLUSIONS: Cell membrane-mediated nontargeted effects play a significant role during Auger and alpha RIT, and drugs that modulate cholesterol level, such as statins, could interfere with RIT efficacy.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) treatment is currently restricted to chemotherapy. Hence, tumor-specific molecular targets and/or alternative therapeutic strategies for TNBC are urgently needed. Immunotherapy is emerging as an exciting treatment option for TNBC patients. The aspartic protease cathepsin D (cath-D), a marker of poor prognosis in breast cancer (BC), is overproduced and hypersecreted by human BC cells. This study explores whether cath-D is a tumor cell-associated extracellular biomarker and a potent target for antibody-based therapy in TNBC. METHODS: Cath-D prognostic value and localization was evaluated by transcriptomics, proteomics and immunohistochemistry in TNBC. First-in-class anti-cath-D human scFv fragments binding to both human and mouse cath-D were generated using phage display and cloned in the human IgG1 λ format (F1 and E2). Anti-cath-D antibody biodistribution, antitumor efficacy and in vivo underlying mechanisms were investigated in TNBC MDA-MB-231 tumor xenografts in nude mice. Antitumor effect was further assessed in TNBC patient-derived xenografts (PDXs). RESULTS: High CTSD mRNA levels correlated with shorter recurrence-free survival in TNBC, and extracellular cath-D was detected in the tumor microenvironment, but not in matched normal breast stroma. Anti-cath-D F1 and E2 antibodies accumulated in TNBC MDA-MB-231 tumor xenografts, inhibited tumor growth and improved mice survival without apparent toxicity. The Fc function of F1, the best antibody candidate, was essential for maximal tumor inhibition in the MDA-MB-231 model. Mechanistically, F1 antitumor response was triggered through natural killer cell activation via IL-15 upregulation, associated with granzyme B and perforin production, and the release of antitumor IFNγ cytokine. The F1 antibody also prevented the tumor recruitment of immunosuppressive tumor-associated macrophages M2 and myeloid-derived suppressor cells, a specific effect associated with a less immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment highlighted by TGFß decrease. Finally, the antibody F1 inhibited tumor growth of two TNBC PDXs, isolated from patients resistant or not to neo-adjuvant chemotherapy. CONCLUSION: Cath-D is a tumor-specific extracellular target in TNBC suitable for antibody-based therapy. Immunomodulatory antibody-based strategy against cath-D is a promising immunotherapy to treat patients with TNBC.

ABSTRACT

We have developed the 16F12 mouse monoclonal antibody (mAb), which targets the Müllerian-inhibiting substance receptor, type II (MISRII), expressed by ovarian tumors. Here, we assessed in preclinical models the possibility of using radiolabeled 16F12 in a theranostic approach for small-volume ovarian peritoneal carcinomatosis, such as after cytoreductive surgery. Methods: DOTA-, DTPA- or deferoxamine mesylate-conjugated 16F12 mAb was radiolabeled with ß-particle (177Lu) or α-particle (213Bi) emitters for therapeutic use and with 89Zr for PET imaging. On the 13th postxenograft day, mice bearing intraperitoneal MISRII-positive AN3CA endometrial carcinoma cell xenografts were treated by conventional intraperitoneal radioimmunotherapy (IP-RIT) with 10 MBq of 177Lu-16F12 or 12.9 MBq of 213Bi-16F12 or by brief intraperitoneal radioimmunotherapy (BIP-RIT) using 50 MBq of 177Lu-16F12 or 37 MBq of 213Bi-16F12. For BIP-RIT, 30 min after injection of the radiolabeled mAbs, the peritoneal cavity was washed to remove the unbound radioactivity. The biodistribution of 177Lu- and 213Bi-16F12 mAbs was determined and then used for dose assessment. Hematologic toxicity was also monitored. Results: The 16F12 mAb was satisfactorily radiolabeled for both therapy and imaging. IP-RIT with 177Lu-16F12 was slightly more efficient in delaying tumor growth than IP-RIT with 213Bi-16F12. Conversely, 213Bi-16F12 was more efficient than 177Lu-16F12 in BIP-RIT. The biodistribution analysis showed that the tumor-to-blood uptake ratio was significantly higher with BIP-RIT than with IP-RIT for both 213Bi- and 177Lu-16F12. Hematologic toxicity was more pronounced with 177Lu-16F12 than with 213Bi-16F12. SPECT/CT images (after BIP-RIT with 177Lu-16F12) and PET/CT images (after injection of 89Zr-16F12 in the tail vein) showed focal uptake at the tumor site. Conclusion: Radiolabeled 16F12 could represent a new theranostic tool for small-volume ovarian peritoneal carcinomatosis. Specifically, 213Bi-16F12-based BIP-RIT could be proposed to selected patients as an alternative adjuvant treatment immediately after cytoreductive surgery. An anti-MISRII mAb is currently being used in a first-in-human study, thus making radiolabeled anti-MISRII mAbs a realistic theranostic option for the clinic.

ABSTRACT

Ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death in women with gynecological cancers and despite recent advances, new and more efficient therapies are crucially needed. Müllerian Inhibiting Substance type II Receptor (MISRII, also named AMHRII) is expressed in most ovarian cancer subtypes and is a novel potential target for ovarian cancer immunotherapy. We previously developed and tested 12G4, the first murine monoclonal antibody (MAb) against human MISRII. Here, we report the humanization, affinity maturation and glyco-engineering steps of 12G4 to generate the Fc-optimized 3C23K MAb, and the evaluation of its in vivo anti-tumor activity. The epitopes of 3C23K and 12G4 were strictly identical and 3C23K affinity for MISRII was enhanced by a factor of about 14 (KD = 5.5 × 10-11 M vs 7.9 × 10-10 M), while the use of the EMABling® platform allowed the production of a low-fucosylated 3C23K antibody with a 30-fold KD improvement of its affinity to FcγRIIIa. In COV434-MISRII tumor-bearing mice, 3C23K reduced tumor growth more efficiently than 12G4 and its combination with carboplatin was more efficient than each monotherapy with a mean tumor size of 500, 1100 and 100 mm3 at the end of treatment with 3C23K (10 mg/kg, Q3-4D12), carboplatin (60 mg/kg, Q7D4) and 3C23K+carboplatin, respectively. Conversely, 3C23K-FcKO, a 3C23K form without affinity for the FcγRIIIa receptor, did not display any anti-tumor effect in vivo. These results strongly suggested that 3C23K mechanisms of action are mainly Fc-related. In vitro, antibody-dependent cytotoxicity (ADCC) and antibody-dependent cell phagocytosis (ADCP) were induced by 3C23K, as demonstrated with human effector cells. Using human NK cells, 50% of the maximal lysis was obtained with a 46-fold lower concentration of low-fucosylated 3C23K (2.9 ng/ml) than of 3C23K expressed in CHO cells (133.35 ng/ml). As 3C23K induced strong ADCC with human PBMC but almost none with murine PBMC, antibody-dependent cell phagocytosis (ADCP) was then investigated. 3C23K-dependent (100 ng/ml) ADCP was more active with murine than human macrophages (only 10% of living target cells vs. about 25%). These in vitro results suggest that the reduced ADCC with murine effectors could be partially balanced by ADCP activity in in vivo experiments. Taken together, these preclinical data indicate that 3C23K is a new promising therapeutic candidate for ovarian cancer immunotherapy and justify its recent introduction in a phase I clinical trial.

ABSTRACT

Tetraspanin 8 (TSPAN8) overexpression is correlated with poor prognosis in human colorectal cancer (CRC). A murine mAb Ts29.2 specific for human TSPAN8 provided significant efficiency for immunotherapy in CRC pre-clinical models. We therefore evaluate the feasability of targeting TSPAN8 in CRC with radiolabeled Ts29.2. Staining of tissue micro-arrays with Ts29.2 revealed that TSPAN8 espression was restricted to a few human healthy tissues. DOTA-Ts29.2 was radiolabeled with 111In or 177Lu with radiochemical purities >95%, specific activity ranging from 300 to 600 MBq/mg, and radioimmunoreactive fractions >80%. The biodistribution of [111In]DOTA-Ts29.2 in nude mice bearing HT29 or SW480 CRC xenografts showed a high specificity of tumor localization with high tumor/blood ratios (HT29: 4.3; SW480-TSPAN8: 3.9 at 72h and 120h post injection respectively). Tumor-specific absorbed dose calculations for [177Lu]DOTA-Ts29.2 was 1.89 Gy/MBq, establishing the feasibility of using radioimmunotherapy of CRC with this radiolabeled antibody. A significant inhibition of tumor growth in HT29 tumor-bearing mice treated with [177Lu]DOTA-Ts29.2 was observed compared to control groups. Ex vivo experiments revealed specific DNA double strand breaks associated with cell apoptosis in [177Lu]DOTA-Ts29.2 treated tumors compared to controls. Overall, we provide a proof-of-concept for the use of [111In/177Lu]DOTA-Ts29.2 that specifically target in vivo aggressive TSPAN8-positive cells in CRC.

ABSTRACT

AIMS: We investigated whether radiation-induced nontargeted effects are involved in the cytotoxic effects of anticell surface monoclonal antibodies labeled with Auger electron emitters, such as iodine 125 (monoclonal antibodies labeled with (125)I [(125)I-mAbs]). RESULTS: We showed that the cytotoxicity of (125)I-mAbs targeting the cell membrane of p53(+/+) HCT116 colon cancer cells is mainly due to nontargeted effects. Targeted and nontargeted cytotoxicities were inhibited in vitro following lipid raft disruption with Methyl-ß-cyclodextrin (MBCD) or filipin or use of radical oxygen species scavengers. (125)I-mAb efficacy was associated with acid sphingomyelinase activation and modulated through activation of the AKT, extracellular signal-related kinase ½ (ERK1/2), p38 kinase, c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling pathways, and also of phospholipase C-γ (PLC-γ), proline-rich tyrosine kinase 2 (PYK-2), and paxillin, involved in Ca(2+) fluxes. Moreover, the nontargeted response induced by directing 5-[(125)I]iodo-2'-deoxyuridine to the nucleus was comparable to that of (125)I-mAb against cell surface receptors. In vivo, we found that the statistical significance of tumor growth delay induced by (125)I-mAb was removed after MBCD treatment and observed oxidative DNA damage beyond the expected Auger electron range. These results suggest the involvement of nontargeted effects in vivo also. INNOVATION: Low-energy Auger electrons, such as those emitted by (125)I, have a short tissue range and are usually targeted to the nucleus to maximize their cytotoxicity. In this study, we show that targeting the cancer cell surface with (125)I-mAbs produces a lipid raft-mediated nontargeted response that compensates for the inferior efficacy of non-nuclear targeting. CONCLUSION: Our findings describe the mechanisms involved in the efficacy of (125)I-mAbs targeting the cancer cell surface. Antioxid. Redox Signal. 25, 467-484.

ABSTRACT

177Lu-DOTA-HH1 (177Lu-HH1) is a novel anti-CD37 radioimmunoconjugate developed to treat non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Mice with subcutaneous Ramos xenografts were treated with different activities of 177Lu-HH1, 177Lu-DOTA-rituximab (177Lu-rituximab) and non-specific 177Lu-DOTA-IgG1 (177Lu-IgG1) and therapeutic effect and toxicity of the treatment were monitored. Significant tumor growth delay and increased survival of mice were observed in mice treated with 530 MBq/kg 177Lu-HH1 as compared with mice treated with similar activities of 177Lu-rituximab or non-specific 177Lu-IgG1, 0.9% NaCl or unlabeled HH1. All mice injected with 530 MBq/kg of 177Lu-HH1 tolerated the treatment well. In contrast, 6 out of 10 mice treated with 530 MBq/kg 177Lu-rituximab experienced severe radiation toxicity. The retention of 177Lu-rituximab in organs of the mononuclear phagocyte system was longer than for 177Lu-HH1, which explains the higher toxicity observed in mice treated with 177Lu-rituximab. In vitro internalization studies showed that 177Lu-HH1 internalizes faster and to a higher extent than 177Lu-rituximab which might be the reason for the better therapeutic effect of 177Lu-HH1.
