Prognostic value of B7-H3 expression in patients with solid tumors: a meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: Increasing evidence suggests B7-H3 is aberrantly expressed in various cancers, though its prognostic significance in solid tumors remains controversial. We therefore performed a meta-analysis to clarify the prognostic value of B7-H3 expression in human solid tumors. The PubMed and Embase databases were searched, and 28 studies involving 4623 patients were ultimately included in the analysis. Hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were utilized as effect estimates to evaluate the association between B7-H3 expression and overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS). The pooled results showed B7-H3 was associated with poor OS (HR = 1.58; 95% CI: 1.32-1.90; P < 0.00001) and PFS (HR = 1.67; 95% CI: 1.05-2.65; P = 0.031), but not RFS (HR = 1.17; 95% CI: 0.89-1.53; P = 0.267). These results suggest B7-H3 is a negative predictor of OS and PFS in patients with solid tumors. B7-H3 may thus be a useful prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for human solid tumors. However, further studies will be needed to more precisely determine the prognostic value of B7 H3 expression.

Project description:BackgroundLiver kinase B1 (LKB1) is a protein kinase that regulates the growth, integrity and polarity of mammalian cells. Recent studies have reported the prognostic value of decreased LKB1 expression in different tumors. However, the results of these studies remain controversial. Therefore, this meta-analysis was performed to more accurately estimate the role of decreased LKB1 in the prognostication of human solid tumors.MethodsA systematic literature search in the electronic databases PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and CNKI (updated to October 15, 2015) was performed to identify eligible studies. The overall survival (OS), relapse-free survival (RFS), disease-free survival (DFS) and clinicopathological features data were collected from these studies. The hazard ratios (HRs), odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated and pooled with a random-effects models using Stata12.0 software.ResultsA total of 14 studies covering 1915 patients with solid tumors were included in this meta-analysis. Decreased LKB1 was associated with poorer OS in both the univariate (HR: 1.86, 95%CI: 1.42-2.42, P<0.001) and multivariate (HR: 1.55, 95%CI: 1.09-2.21, P = 0.015) analyses. A subgroup analysis revealed that the associations between decreased LKB1 and poor OS were significant within the Asian region (HR 2.18, 95%CI: 1.66-2.86, P<0.001) and obvious for lung cancer (HR: 2.16, 95%CI: 1.47-3.18, P<0.001). However, the articles that involved analyses of both RFS and DFS numbered only 3, and no statistically significant correlations of decreased LKB1 with RFS or DFS were observed in this study. Additionally, the pooled odds ratios (ORs) indicated that decreased LKB1 was associated with larger tumor size (OR: 1.60, 95%CI: 1.09-2.36, P = 0.017), lymph node metastasis (OR: 2.41, 95%CI: 1.53-3.78, P<0.001) and a higher TNM stage (OR: 3.35, 95%CI: 2.20-5.09, P<0.001).ConclusionThese results suggest that decreased LKB1 expression in patients with solid tumors might be related to poor prognosis and serve as a potential predictive marker of poor clinicopathological prognostic factors. Additional studies are required to verify the clinical utility of decreased LKB1 in solid tumors.

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.
