A Human Antibody That Binds to the Sixth Ig-Like Domain of VCAM-1 Blocks Lung Cancer Cell Migration In Vitro.

ABSTRACT: Vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) is closely associated with tumor progression and metastasis. However, the relevance and role of VCAM-1 in lung cancer have not been clearly elucidated. In this study, we found that VCAM-1 was highly overexpressed in lung cancer tissue compared with that of normal lung tissue, and high VCAM-1 expression correlated with poor survival in lung cancer patients. VCAM-1 knockdown reduced migration of A549 human lung cancer cells into Matrigel, and competitive blocking experiments targeting the Ig-like domain 6 of VCAM-1 (VCAM-1-D6) demonstrated that the VCAM-1-D6 domain was critical for VCAM-1 mediated A549 cell migration into Matrigel. Next, we developed a human monoclonal antibody specific to human and mouse VCAM-1-D6 (VCAM-1-D6 huMab), which was isolated from a human synthetic antibody library using phage display technology. Finally, we showed that VCAM-1-D6 huMab had a nanomolar affinity for VCAM-1-D6 and that it potently suppressed the migration of A549 and NCI-H1299 lung cancer cell lines into Matrigel. Taken together, these results suggest that VCAM-1-D6 is a key domain for regulating VCAM-1-mediated lung cancer invasion and that our newly developed VCAM-1-D6 huMab will be a useful tool for inhibiting VCAM-1-expressing lung cancer cell invasion.

Project description:The engineered antibody-like entry inhibitor eCD4-Ig neutralizes every human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), HIV-2, and simian immunodeficiency virus isolate it has been tested against. The exceptional breadth of eCD4-Ig derives from its ability to closely and simultaneously emulate the HIV-1 receptor CD4 and coreceptors, either CCR5 or CXCR4. Here we investigated whether viral escape from eCD4-Ig is more difficult than that from CD4-Ig or the CD4-binding site antibody NIH45-46. We observed that a viral swarm selected with high concentrations of eCD4-Ig was increasingly resistant to but did not fully escape from eCD4-Ig. In contrast, viruses selected under the same conditions with CD4-Ig or NIH45-46 fully escaped from those inhibitors. eCD4-Ig-resistant viruses acquired unique changes in the V2 apex, V3, V4, and CD4-binding regions of the HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein (Env). Most of the alterations did not directly affect neutralization by eCD4-Ig or neutralizing antibodies. However, alteration of Q428 to an arginine or lysine resulted in markedly greater resistance to eCD4-Ig and CD4-Ig, with correspondingly dramatic losses in infectivity and greater sensitivity to a V3 antibody and to serum from an infected individual. Compensatory mutations in the V3 loop (N301D) and in the V2 apex (K171E) partially restored viral fitness without affecting serum or eCD4-Ig sensitivity. Collectively, these data suggest that multiple mutations will be necessary to fully escape eCD4-Ig without loss of viral fitness.IMPORTANCE HIV-1 broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) and engineered antibody-like inhibitors have been compared for their breadths, potencies, and in vivo half-lives. However, a key limitation in the use of antibodies to treat an established HIV-1 infection is the rapid emergence of fully resistant viruses. Entry inhibitors of similar breadths and potencies can differ in the ease with which viral escape variants arise. Here we show that HIV-1 escape from the potent and exceptionally broad entry inhibitor eCD4-Ig is more difficult than that from CD4-Ig or the bNAb NIH45-46. Indeed, full escape was not observed under conditions under which escape from CD4-Ig or NIH45-46 was readily detected. Moreover, viruses that were partially resistant to eCD4-Ig were markedly less infective and more sensitive to antibodies in the serum of an infected person. These data suggest that eCD4-Ig will be more difficult to escape and that even partial escape will likely extract a high fitness cost.
