86/90Y-Based Theranostics Targeting Angiogenesis in a Murine Breast Cancer Model.

ABSTRACT: Angiogenesis is widely recognized as one of the hallmarks of cancer. Therefore, imaging and therapeutic agents targeted to angiogenic vessels may be widely applicable in many types of cancer. To this end, the theranostic isotope pair, 86Y and 90Y, were used to create a pair of agents for targeted imaging and therapy of neovasculature in murine breast cancer models using a chimeric anti-CD105 antibody, TRC105. Serial positron emission tomography imaging with 86Y-DTPA-TRC105 demonstrated high uptake in 4T1 tumors, peaking at 9.6 ± 0.3%ID/g, verified through ex vivo studies. Additionally, promising results were obtained in therapeutic studies with 90Y-DTPA-TRC105, wherein significantly ( p < 0.05) decreased tumor volumes were observed for the targeted treatment group over all control groups near the end of the study. Dosimetric extrapolation and tissue histological analysis corroborated trends found in vivo. Overall, this study demonstrated the potential of the pair 86/90Y for theranostics, enabling personalized treatments for cancer.

Project description:Anti-angiogenesis is an important and promising strategy in cancer therapy. However, the current methods using anti-vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) antibodies or inhibitors targeting VEGFA receptors are not as efficient as expected partly due to their low efficiencies in blocking VEGFA signaling in vivo. Until now, there is still no method to effectively block VEGFA production in cancer cells from the very beginning, i.e., from the transcriptional level. Here, we aimed to find bioactive small molecules to block VEGFA transcription. Methods: We screened our natural compound pool containing 330 small molecules derived from Chinese traditional herbs for small molecules activating the expression of seryl-tRNA synthetase (SerRS), which is a newly identified potent transcriptional repressor of VEGFA, by a cell-based screening system in MDA-MB-231 cell line. The activities of the candidate molecules on regulating SerRS and VEGFA expression were first tested in breast cancer cells. We next investigated the antiangiogenic activity in vivo by testing the effects of candidate drugs on the vascular development in zebrafish and by matrigel plug angiogenesis assay in mice. We further examined the antitumor activities of candidate drugs in two triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC)-bearing mouse models. Furthermore, streptavidin-biotin affinity pull-down assay, coimmunoprecipitation assays, docking analysis and chromatin immunoprecipitation were performed to identify the direct targets of candidate drugs. Results: We identified emodin that could greatly increase SerRS expression in TNBC cells, consequently reducing VEGFA transcription. Emodin potently inhibited vascular development of zebrafish and blocked tumor angiogenesis in TNBC-bearing mice, greatly improving the survival. We also identified nuclear receptor corepressor 2 (NCOR2) to be the direct target of emodin. Once bound by emodin, NCOR2 got released from SerRS promoter, resulting in the activation of SerRS expression and eventually the suppression of VEGFA transcription. Conclusion: We discovered a herb-sourced small molecule emodin with the potential for the therapy of TNBC by targeting transcriptional regulators NCOR2 and SerRS to suppress VEGFA transcription and tumor angiogenesis.
