B7-H3 is a potent inhibitor of human T-cell activation: No evidence for B7-H3 and TREML2 interaction.

ABSTRACT: B7-H3 belongs to the B7 superfamily, a group of molecules that costimulate or down-modulate T-cell responses. Although it was shown that B7-H3 could inhibit T-cell responses, several studies - most of them performed in murine systems - found B7-H3 to act in a costimulatory manner. In this study, we have specifically addressed a potential functional dualism of human B7-H3 by assessing the effect of this molecule under varying experimental conditions as well as on different T-cell subsets. We show that B7-H3 does not costimulate human T cells. In the presence of strong activating signals, B7-H3 potently and consistently down-modulated human T-cell responses. This inhibitory effect was evident when analysing proliferation and cytokine production and affected naïve as well as pre-activated T cells. Furthermore, we demonstrate that B7-H3-T-cell interaction is characterised by an early suppression of IL-2 and that T-cell inhibition can be reverted by exogenous IL-2. Since the triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells like transcript 2 (TREML2/TLT-2) has been recently described as costimulatory receptor of murine B7-H3 we have extensively analysed interaction of human B7-H3 with TREML2/TLT-2. In these experiments we found no evidence for such an interaction. Furthermore, our data do not point to a role for murine TREML2 as a receptor for murine B7-H3.

Project description:BackgroundThe B7-H3 protein, encoded by the CD276 gene, is a member of the B7 family of proteins and a transmembrane glycoprotein. It is highly expressed in various solid tumors, such as lung and breast cancer, and has been associated with limited expression in normal tissues and poor clinical outcomes across different malignancies. Additionally, B7-H3 plays a crucial role in anticancer immune responses. Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are a promising therapeutic modality, utilizing antibodies targeting tumor antigens to selectively and effectively deliver potent cytotoxic agents to tumors.MethodsIn this study, we demonstrate the potential of a novel B7-H3-targeting ADC, ITC-6102RO, for B7-H3-targeted therapy. ITC-6102RO was developed and conjugated with dHBD, a soluble derivative of pyrrolobenzodiazepine (PBD), using Ortho Hydroxy-Protected Aryl Sulfate (OHPAS) linkers with high biostability. We assessed the cytotoxicity and internalization of ITC-6102RO in B7-H3 overexpressing cell lines in vitro and evaluated its anticancer efficacy and mode of action in B7-H3 overexpressing cell-derived and patient-derived xenograft models in vivo.ResultsITC-6102RO inhibited cell viability in B7-H3-positive lung and breast cancer cell lines, inducing cell cycle arrest in the S phase, DNA damage, and apoptosis in vitro. The binding activity and selectivity of ITC-6102RO with B7-H3 were comparable to those of the unconjugated anti-B7-H3 antibody. Furthermore, ITC-6102RO proved effective in B7-H3-positive JIMT-1 subcutaneously xenografted mice and exhibited a potent antitumor effect on B7-H3-positive lung cancer patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models. The mode of action, including S phase arrest and DNA damage induced by dHBD, was confirmed in JIMT-1 tumor tissues.ConclusionsOur preclinical data indicate that ITC-6102RO is a promising therapeutic agent for B7-H3-targeted therapy. Moreover, we anticipate that OHPAS linkers will serve as a valuable platform for developing novel ADCs targeting a wide range of targets.
