A novel strategy inducing autophagic cell death in Burkitt's lymphoma cells with anti-CD19-targeted liposomal rapamycin.

ABSTRACT: Relapsed or refractory Burkitt's lymphoma often has a poor prognosis in spite of intensive chemotherapy that induces apoptotic and/or necrotic death of lymphoma cells. Rapamycin (Rap) brings about autophagy, and could be another treatment. Further, anti-CD19-targeted liposomal delivery may enable Rap to kill lymphoma cells specifically. Rap was encapsulated by anionic liposome and conjugated with anti-CD19 antibody (CD19-GL-Rap) or anti-CD2 antibody (CD2-GL-Rap) as a control. A fluorescent probe Cy5.5 was also liposomized in the same way (CD19 or CD2-GL-Cy5.5) to examine the efficacy of anti-CD19-targeted liposomal delivery into CD19-positive Burkitt's lymphoma cell line, SKW6.4. CD19-GL-Cy5.5 was more effectively uptaken into SKW6.4 cells than CD2-GL-Cy5.5 in vitro. When the cells were inoculated subcutaneously into nonobese diabetic/severe combined immunodeficiency mice, intravenously administered CD19-GL-Cy5.5 made the subcutaneous tumor fluorescent, while CD2-GL-Cy5.5 did not. Further, CD19-GL-Rap had a greater cytocidal effect on not only SKW6.4 cells but also Burkitt's lymphoma cells derived from patients than CD2-GL-Rap in vitro. The specific toxicity of CD19-GL-Rap was cancelled by neutralizing anti-CD19 antibody. The survival period of mice treated with intravenous CD19-GL-Rap was significantly longer than that of mice treated with CD2-GL-Rap after intraperitoneal inoculation of SKW6.4 cells. Anti-CD19-targeted liposomal Rap could be a promising lymphoma cell-specific treatment inducing autophagic cell death.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Despite improvement with intensive multi-agent chemotherapy, 2-year progression-free survival (PFS) rates for adults with high-risk Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) remains <55%. PATIENTS AND METHODS:We conducted a phase II trial for newly diagnosed classic BL utilizing liposomal doxorubicin (Adriamycin) in lieu of doxorubicin and incorporating intravenous rituximab (at 500 mg/m(2) twice/cycle) into the CODOX-M/IVAC regimen. Correlative analyses included paired serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rituximab levels and close examination of cardiac function. RESULTS:Among 25 BL patients, the median age was 44 years (23-70) and 4 patients were HIV positive. There were 20 high-risk and 5 low-risk patients. At baseline, 40% of high-risk patients had bone marrow involvement, 35% had bulky disease and 15% had central nervous system involvement. The overall response rate was 100% (complete remission 92%). At 34-month median follow-up, the 2-year PFS and overall survival (OS) rates for all patients were 80% and 84%, respectively (low-risk: both 100%; high-risk: 76% and 81%, respectively). Furthermore, the 2-year PFS, OS, and disease-specific survival (DSS) rates for high-risk, HIV-negative patients were 84%, 89% and 100%, respectively. Adverse events (AEs) appeared to be consistent with prior CODOX-M/IVAC data, although there were several grade 3 cardiac events noted (all declined ejection fraction without clinical symptoms). The mean serum rituximab levels at 24 h after cycles 1 and 3 for patients without relapse were 258 and 306 ?g/ml, respectively, versus 131 and 193 ?g/ml, respectively, for patients with early progression (P = 0.002 and 0.002, respectively). The mean CSF rituximab levels for all patients were 0.11 and 0.24 ?g/ml, respectively, at cycle 1 (24/72 h), which equated to serum:CSF ratios of 0.05% and 0.20%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS:The integration of rituximab into CODOX-M/IVAC for adult BL was feasible and tolerable, while changes in cardiac function warrant continued examination. This regimen was associated with excellent survival rates for HIV-negative BL. Further investigation of the predictive value of serum rituximab is needed. Clinicaltrials.gov NCT00392990.

Project description:BackgroundBurkitt's lymphoma is an aggressive B-cell lymphoma that occurs in children and adults and is largely curable with the use of intensive and toxic chemotherapy. Current treatments are less effective and have more severe side effects in adults and patients with immunodeficiency than in children.MethodsWe studied low-intensity treatment consisting of infused etoposide, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide with vincristine, prednisone, and rituximab (EPOCH-R) in patients with untreated Burkitt's lymphoma. Two EPOCH-R regimens were tested: a standard dose-adjusted combination in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-negative patients (DA-EPOCH-R group) and a lower-dose short-course combination with a double dose of rituximab in HIV-positive patients (SC-EPOCH-RR group).ResultsA total of 30 consecutive patients were treated; 19 patients were in the DA-EPOCH-R group, and 11 in the SC-EPOCH-RR group. The overall median age of the patients was 33 years, and 40% were 40 years of age or older; 73% of the patients had intermediate-risk disease, and 10% had high-risk disease. The principal toxic events, fever and neutropenia, were observed during 22% of the DA-EPOCH-R treatment cycles and 10% of the SC-EPOCH-RR treatment cycles. The tumor lysis syndrome developed in 1 patient; no treatment-related deaths occurred. The median cumulative doses of doxorubicin-etoposide and cyclophosphamide administered in the SC-EPOCH-RR group were 47% and 57% lower, respectively, than those administered in the DA-EPOCH-R group. With median follow-up times of 86 months in the DA-EPOCH-R group and 73 months in the SC-EPOCH-RR group, the rates of freedom from progression of disease and overall survival were, respectively, 95% and 100% with DA-EPOCH-R and 100% and 90% with SC-EPOCH-RR. None of the patients died from Burkitt's lymphoma.ConclusionsIn this uncontrolled prospective study, low-intensity EPOCH-R-based treatment was highly effective in adults with sporadic or immunodeficiency-associated Burkitt's lymphoma.

Project description:UnlabelledAlthough Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) was one of the first human cancers to be cured by chemotherapy, no new agents other than brentuximab vedotin (Adcetris®, CD 30 directed antibody drug conjugate) have received US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for HL since 1977. Subsets of young adult patients with HL continue to relapse, even after stem cell transplantation, warranting new approaches. Against this background, we report a dramatic response in a young patient with advanced HL refractory to the standard treatment who responded to the combination of a pan-histone deacetylase inhibitor (vorinostat, suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid, SAHA) and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor therapy (sirolimus,rapamume). In-depth immunohistochemical and morphoproteomic analyses of this exceptional responder to targeted therapy have yielded potential insights into the biology of advanced HL. The PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway is a commonly activated pathway in multiple tumor types including HL. The patient was treated using therapy based on mechanistic in vitro data demonstrating that combined histone deacetylase (HDAC) and mTOR inhibition act together on this pathway, resulting in inhibition of reciprocal feedback networks, leading to better anti-proliferative activity. The in vivo response signature from this patient's tissue sample sheds light on immune dysregulation in HL. We describe the response signature achieved from targeting immune dysregulation in addition to targeting the key oncogenic PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. We also expand on the role of rapamycin analogs in oncology. This study supports a role for an immune-type pathogenesis that is amenable to immune modulating targeted therapy in refractory HL.SignificanceWe report an exceptional responder to molecularly targeted and immune modulator therapy in advanced Hodgkin's lymphoma. The morphoproteomic/morphometric findings in this "unusual responder" patient's relapsed HL that correlate best, as a response signature with the subsequent clinical remission following rapamycin (sirolimus) and vorinostat (SAHA) therapies, center on an immune dysregulation involving an imbalance between effector and functional T regulatory cells in addition to targeting the mTOR pathway. This underscores the need for an approach illustrated in our study--namely of focusing on pathogenetic mechanisms and combinatorial therapies that target both the pathogenesis and adaptive responses to contemplated therapies.
