Sensitization of tumor to ²¹²Pb radioimmunotherapy by gemcitabine involves initial abrogation of G2 arrest and blocked DNA damage repair by interference with Rad51.

ABSTRACT: PURPOSE:To elucidate the mechanism of the therapeutic efficacy of targeted ?-particle radiation therapy using (212)Pb-TCMC-trastuzumab together with gemcitabine for treatment of disseminated peritoneal cancers. METHODS AND MATERIALS:Mice bearing human colon cancer LS-174T intraperitoneal xenografts were pretreated with gemcitabine, followed by (212)Pb-TCMC-trastuzumab and compared with controls. RESULTS:Treatment with (212)Pb-TCMC-trastuzumab increased the apoptotic rate in the S-phase-arrested tumors induced by gemcitabine at earlier time points (6 to 24 hours). (212)Pb-TCMC-trastuzumab after gemcitabine pretreatment abrogated G2/M arrest at the same time points, which may be associated with the inhibition of Chk1 phosphorylation and, in turn, cell cycle perturbation, resulting in apoptosis. (212)Pb-TCMC-trastuzumab treatment after gemcitabine pretreatment caused depression of DNA synthesis, DNA double-strand breaks, accumulation of unrepaired DNA, and down-regulation of Rad51 protein, indicating that DNA damage repair was blocked. In addition, modification in the chromatin structure of p21 may be associated with transcriptionally repressed chromatin states, indicating that the open structure was delayed at earlier time points. CONCLUSION:These findings suggest that the cell-killing efficacy of (212)Pb-TCMC-trastuzumab after gemcitabine pretreatment may be associated with abrogation of the G2/M checkpoint, inhibition of DNA damage repair, and chromatin remodeling.

Project description:IntroductionNovel therapies that effectively kill both differentiated cancer cells and cancer initiating cells (CICs), which are implicated in causing chemotherapy-resistance and disease recurrence, are needed to reduce the morbidity and mortality of ovarian cancer. These studies used monoclonal antibody (mAb) 376.96, which recognizes a B7-H3 epitope expressed on ovarian cancer cells and CICs, as a carrier molecule for targeted α-particle radioimmunotherapy (RIT) in preclinical models of human ovarian cancer.MethodsmAb 376.96 was conjugated to the chelate 2-(4-isothiocyanotobenzyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraaza-1,4,7,10-tetra-(2-carbamoylmethyl)-cyclododecane (TCMC) and radiolabeled with 212Pb, a source of α-particles. In vitro Scatchard assays determined the specific binding of 212Pb-376.96 to adherent differentiated or non-adherent CIC-enriched ES-2 and A2780cp20 ovarian cancer cells. Adherent ovarian cancer cells and non-adherent CIC-enriched tumorspheres treated in vitro with 212Pb-376.96 or the irrelevant isotype-matched 212Pb-F3-C25 were assessed for clonogenic survival. Mice bearing i.p. ES-2 or A2780cp20 xenografts were injected i.p. with 0.17-0.70MBq 212Pb-376.96 or 212Pb-F3-C25 and were used for in vivo imaging, ex vivo biodistribution, and therapeutic survival studies.Results212Pb-376.96 was obtained in high yield and purity (>98%); Kd values ranged from 10.6-26.6nM for ovarian cancer cells, with 104-105 binding sites/cell. 212Pb-376.96 inhibited the clonogenic survival of ovarian cancer cells up to 40 times more effectively than isotype-matched control 212Pb-F3-C25; combining 212Pb-376.96 with carboplatin significantly decreased clonogenic survival compared to either agent alone. In vivo imaging and biodistribution analysis 24h after i.p. injection of 212Pb-376.96 showed high peritoneal retention and tumor tissue accumulation (28.7% ID/g in ES-2 ascites, 73.1% ID/g in A2780cp20 tumors); normal tissues showed lower and comparable uptake for 212Pb-376.96 and 212Pb-F3-C25. Tumor-bearing mice treated with 212Pb-376.96 alone or combined with carboplatin survived 2-3 times longer than mice treated with 212Pb-F3-C25 or non-treated controls.ConclusionThese results support additional RIT studies with 212Pb-376.96 for future evaluation in patients with ovarian cancer.
