Placenta-specific1 (PLAC1) is a potential target for antibody-drug conjugate-based prostate cancer immunotherapy.

ABSTRACT: Our recent findings strongly support the idea of PLAC1 being as a potential immunotherapeutic target in prostate cancer (PCa). Here, we have generated and evaluated an anti-placenta-specific1 (PLAC1)-based antibody drug conjugate (ADC) for targeted immunotherapy of PCa. Prostate cancer cells express considerable levels of PLAC1. The Anti-PLAC1 clone, 2H12C12, showed high reactivity with recombinant PLAC1 and selectivity recognized PLAC1 in prostate cancer cells but not in LS180 cells, the negative control. PLAC1 binding induced rapid internalization of the antibody within a few minutes which reached to about 50% after 15?min and almost completed within an hour. After SN38 conjugation to antibody, a drug-antibody ratio (DAR) of about 5.5 was achieved without apparent negative effect on antibody affinity to cell surface antigen. The ADC retained intrinsic antibody activity and showed enhanced and selective cytotoxicity with an IC50 of 62?nM which was about 15-fold lower compared to free drug. Anti-PLAC1-ADC induced apoptosis in human primary prostate cancer cells and prostate cell lines. No apparent cytotoxic effect was observed in in vivo animal safety experiments. Our newly developed anti-PLAC1-based ADCs might pave the way for a reliable, efficient, and novel immunotherapeutic modality for patients with PCa.

Project description:BackgroundAdvanced colorectal cancer (CRC) is difficult to treat. For that reason, the development of novel therapeutics is necessary. Here we describe a potentially actionable plasma membrane target, the amino acid transporter protein subunit CD98hc.MethodsWestern blot and immunohistochemical analyses of CD98hc protein expression were carried out on paired normal and tumoral tissues from patients with CRC. Immunofluorescence and western studies were used to characterize the action of a DM1-based CD98hc-directed antibody-drug conjugate (ADC). MTT and Annexin V studies were performed to evaluate the effect of the anti-CD98hc-ADC on cell proliferation and apoptosis. CRISPR/Cas9 and shRNA were used to explore the specificity of the ADC. In vitro analyses of the antitumoral activity of the anti-CD98hc-ADC on 3D patient-derived normal as well as tumoral organoids were also carried out. Xenografted CRC cells and a PDX were used to analyze the antitumoral properties of the anti-CD98hc-ADC.ResultsGenomic as well proteomic analyses of paired normal and tumoral samples showed that CD98hc expression was significantly higher in tumoral tissues as compared to levels of CD98hc present in the normal colonic tissue. In human CRC cell lines, an ADC that recognized the CD98hc ectodomain, reached the lysosomes and exerted potent antitumoral activity. The specificity of the CD98hc-directed ADC was demonstrated using CRC cells in which CD98hc was decreased by shRNA or deleted using CRISPR/Cas9. Studies in patient-derived organoids verified the antitumoral action of the anti-CD98hc-ADC, which largely spared normal tissue-derived colon organoids. In vivo studies using xenografted CRC cells or patient-derived xenografts confirmed the antitumoral activity of the anti-CD98hc-ADC.ConclusionsThe studies herewith reported indicate that CD98hc may represent a novel ADC target that, upon well-designed clinical trials, could be used to increase the therapeutic armamentarium against CRC.
