A Novel Bispecific Antibody Targeting CD3 and Lewis Y with Potent Therapeutic Efficacy against Gastric Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Lewis Y antigen, a glycan highly expressed on most epithelial cancers, was targeted for cancer treatment but lacked satisfactory results in some intractable and refractory cancers. Thus, it is highly desirable to develop an effective therapy against these cancers, hopefully based on this target. In this work, we constructed a novel T cell-engaging bispecific antibody targeting Lewis Y and CD3 (m3s193 BsAb) with the IgG-[L]-scfv format. In vitro activity of m3s193 BsAb was evaluated by affinity assay to target cells, cytotoxicity assay, cytokines releasing assay, and T cells proliferation and recruiting assays. Anti-tumor activity against gastric cancer was evaluated in vivo by subcutaneous huPBMCs/tumor cells co-grafting model and huPBMCs intravenous injecting model. In vitro, m3s193 BsAb appeared to have a high binding affinity to Lewis Y positive cells and Jurkat cells. The BsAb showed stronger activity than its parent mAb in T cell recruiting, activation, proliferation, cytokine release, and cytotoxicity. In vivo, m3s193 BsAb not only demonstrated higher therapeutic efficacy in the huPBMCs/tumor co-grafting gastric carcinoma model than the parent mAb but also eliminated tumors in the model of intravenous injection with huPBMCs. Strong anti-tumor activity of m3s193 BsAb revealed that Lewis Y could be targeted in T cell-engaging BsAb for gastric cancer therapy.

A novel bispecific antibody targeting CD3 and prolactin receptor (PRLR) against PRLR-expression breast cancer.

Project description:BackgroundProlactin receptor (PRLR) is highly expressed in a subset of human breast cancer and prostate cancer, which makes it a potential target for cancer treatment. In clinical trials, the blockade of PRLR was shown to be safe but with poor efficacy. It is therefore urgent to develop new therapies against PRLR target. Bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) could guide immune cells toward tumor cells, and produced remarkable effects in some cancers.MethodsIn this study, a bispecific antibody targeting both tumor antigen PRLR and T cell surface CD3 antigen (PRLR-DbsAb) was constructed by split intein mediated protein transsplicing (BAPTS) system for the first time. Its binding activity was determined by Biacore and Flow cytometry, and target-dependent T cell mediated cytotoxicity was detected using LDH release assay. ELISA was utilized to study the secretion of cytokines by immune cells. Subcutaneous tumor mouse models were used to analyze the in vivo anti-tumor effects of PRLR-DbsAb.ResultsPRLR-DbsAb in vitro could recruit and activate T cells to promote the release of Th1 cytokines IFN- ? and TNF- ?, which could kill PRLR expressed breast cancer cells. In xenograft models with breast cancer cell line T47D, NOD/SCID mice intraperitoneally injected with PRLR-DbsAb exhibited significant inhibition of tumor growth and a longer survival compared to mice treated with PRLR monoclonal antibody (PRLR mAb).ConclusionsBoth in vitro and in vivo experiments showed PRLR-DbsAb had a potential therapy of cancer treatment potential therapy for cancer. Immunotherapy may be a promising treatment against the tumor target of PRLR.

A Novel Anti-B7-H3 × Anti-CD3 Bispecific Antibody with Potent Antitumor Activity.

Project description:B7-H3 plays an important role in tumor apoptosis, proliferation, adhesion, angiogenesis, invasion, migration, and evasion of immune surveillance. It is overexpressed in various human solid tumor tissues. In patients, B7-H3 overexpression correlates with advanced stages, poor clinical outcomes, and resistance to therapy. The roles of B7-H3 in tumor progression make it a potential candidate for targeted therapy. Here, we generated a mouse anti-human B7-H3 antibody and demonstrated its binding activity via Tongji University Suzhou Instituteprotein-based and cell-based assays. We then developed a novel format anti-B7-H3 × anti-CD3 bispecific antibody based on the antibody-binding fragment of the anti-B7-H3 antibody and single-chain variable fragment structure of anti-CD3 antibody (OKT3) and demonstrated that this bispecific antibody mediated potent cytotoxic activities against various B7-H3-positive tumor cell lines in vitro by improving T cell activation and proliferation. This bispecific antibody also demonstrated potent antitumor activity in humanized mice xenograft models. These results revealed that the novel anti-B7-H3 × anti-CD3 bispecific antibody has the potential to be employed in treatment of B7-H3-positive solid tumors.

A gB/CD3 bispecific BiTE antibody construct for targeting Human Cytomegalovirus-infected cells.

Project description:Bispecific T cell engager (BiTE) antibody constructs are successfully used as cancer therapeutics. We hypothesized that this treatment strategy could also be applicable for therapy of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection, since HCMV-encoded proteins are abundantly expressed on the surface of infected cells. Here we show that a BiTE antibody construct directed against HCMV glycoprotein B (gB) and CD3 efficiently triggers T cells to secrete IFN-γ and TNF upon co-culture with fibroblasts infected with HCMV strain AD169, Towne or Toledo. Titration of gB expression levels in non-infected cells confirmed that already low levels of gB are sufficient for efficient triggering of T cells in presence of the BiTE antibody construct. Comparison of redirecting T cells with the bispecific antibody versus a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) based on the same scFv showed a similar sensitivity for gB expression. Although lysis of infected target cells was absent, the BiTE antibody construct inhibited HCMV replication by triggering cytokine production. Notably, even strongly diluted supernatants of the activated T cells efficiently blocked the replication of HCMV in infected primary fibroblasts. In summary, our data prove the functionality of the first BiTE antibody construct targeting an HCMV-encoded glycoprotein for inhibiting HCMV replication in infected cells.

IgG-like Bispecific Antibody CD3×EpCAM Generated by Split Intein Against Colorectal Cancer.

Project description:Background: Colorectal cancer is a commonly diagnosed cancer with high mortality worldwide. Postoperative recidivation and metastasis still are the main challenges in clinical treatments. Thus, it is urgent to develop new therapies against colorectal cancer. Epithelial Cell Adhesion Molecule (EpCAM) is overexpressed in colorectal cancer cells and strongly associated with cancer development. Bispecific antibody (BsAb) is a kind of promising immunotherapy, which could recognize T cells and cancer cells simultaneously to achieve the anti-tumor effects. Methods: A bispecific antibody targeting EpCAM and CD3 with IgG format was genereated by split intein based on the Bispecific Antibody by Protein Splicing" platform. In vitro, the affinity of CD3×EpCAM BsAb was determined by Biolayer interferometry, its cytotoxicity was detected by LDH release assay, T cell recruitment and activation was detected by Flow Cytometry. In vivo, its pharmacokinetic parameters were detected, and anti-tumor effects were evaluated on the tumor cell xenograft mouse model. Results: The results showed that the CD3×EpCAM BsAb could activate and recruit T cells via binding colorectal cells and T cells, which could lead to more potent cytotoxicity to various colorectal cell lines than its parent EpCAM monoclonal antibody (mAb) in vitro. The CD3×EpCAM BsAb had similar pharmacokinetic parameters with EpCAM mAb and inhibits tumor growth on the SW480 tumor cell xenograft mouse model. Conclusion: The CD3×EpCAM BsAb could be a promising candidate for colorectal cancer treatment.

Target arm affinities determine preclinical efficacy and safety of anti-HER2/CD3 bispecific antibody.

Project description:Systemic cytokine release and on-target/off-tumor toxicity to normal tissues are the main adverse effects limiting the clinical utility of T cell-redirecting therapies. This study was designed to determine how binding affinity for CD3 and tumor target HER2 impact the efficacy and nonclinical safety of anti-HER2/CD3 T cell-dependent antibodies (TDBs). Affinity was found to be a major determinant for the overall tolerability. Higher affinity for CD3 associated with rapidly elevated peripheral cytokine concentrations, weight loss in mice, and poor tolerability in cynomolgus monkeys. A TDB with lower CD3 affinity was better tolerated in cynomolgus monkeys compared with a higher CD3-affinity TDB. In contrast to tolerability, T cell binding affinity had only limited impact on in vitro and in vivo antitumor activity. High affinity for HER2 was critical for the tumor-killing activity of anti-HER2/CD3 TDBs, but higher HER2 affinity also associated with a more severe toxicity profile, including cytokine release and damage to HER2-expressing tissues. The tolerability of the anti-HER2/CD3 was improved by implementing a dose-fractionation strategy. Fine-tuning the affinities for both the tumor target and CD3 is likely a valuable strategy for achieving maximal therapeutic index of CD3 bispecific antibodies.

Genome-scale CRISPR activation screen uncovers tumor-intrinsic modulators of CD3 bispecific antibody efficacy.

Project description:Bispecific antibodies (bsAb) that bridge tumor cells and CD3-positive effector T cells are being developed against many tumor cell targets. While tumor cell factors other than target expression level appear to play a role in determining the efficacy of CD3 bsAb, the identity of such factors remains largely unknown. Using a co-culture system of primary human T cells and B lymphoma cell lines, we demonstrate a range of sensitivities to CD20xCD3 bsAb that is independent of CD20 surface expression. To identify genes that modulate tumor cell sensitivity to CD3 bsAb, we employed a genome-scale CRISPR activation screen in a CD20xCD3-sensitive human B lymphoma cell line. Among the most highly enriched sgRNAs were those targeting genes with predicted effects on cell-cell adhesion, including sialophorin (SPN). Increased expression of SPN impeded tumor cell clustering with T cells, thereby limiting CD3 bsAb-mediated tumor cell lysis. This inhibitory effect of SPN appeared to be dependent on sialylated core 2 O-glycosylation of the protein. While SPN is not endogenously expressed in the majority of B cell lymphomas, it is highly expressed in acute myeloid leukemia. CRISPR-mediated SPN knockout in AML cell lines facilitated T cell-tumor cell clustering and enhanced CD3 bsAb-mediated AML cell lysis. In sum, our data establish that the cell cross-linking mechanism of CD3 bsAb is susceptible to subversion by anti-adhesive molecules expressed on the tumor cell surface. Further evaluation of anti-adhesive pathways may provide novel biomarkers of clinical response and enable the development of effective combination regimens for this promising therapeutic class.

A novel asymmetrical anti-HER2/CD3 bispecific antibody exhibits potent cytotoxicity for HER2-positive tumor cells.

Project description:BackgroundHuman epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is overexpressed in multiple cancers, which is associated with poor prognosis. Herceptin and other agents targeting HER2 have potent antitumor efficacy in patients with HER2-positive cancers. However, the development of drug resistance adversely impacts the efficacy of these treatments. It is therefore urgent to develop new HER2-targeted therapies. Bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) could guide immune cells toward tumor cells, and produced remarkable effects in some cancers.MethodsA BsAb named M802 that targets HER2 and CD3 was produced by introducing a salt bridge and knobs-into-holes (KIHs) packing into the structure. Flow cytometry was performed to determine its binding activity and cytotoxicity. CCK-8, Annexin V/PI staining, western blotting, and ELISA were utilized to study its effect on cell proliferation, apoptosis, the signaling pathways of tumor cells, and the secretion of cytokines by immune cells. Subcutaneous tumor mouse models were used to analyze the in vivo antitumor effects of M802.ResultsWe generated a new format of BsAb, M802, consisting of a monovalent unit against HER2 and a single chain unit against CD3. Our in vitro and in vivo experiments indicated that M802 recruited CD3-positive immune cells and was more cytotoxic than Herceptin in cells with high expression of HER2, low expression of HER2, and Herceptin resistance. Although M802 showed weaker effects than Herceptin on the PI3K/AKT and MAPK pathways, it was more cytotoxic due to its specific recognition of HER2 and its ability to recruit effector cells via its anti-CD3 moiety.ConclusionsOur results indicated that M802 exhibited potent antitumor efficacy in vitro and in vivo. M802 retained the function of Herceptin in antitumor signaling pathways, and also recruited CD3-positive immune cells to eliminate HER2-positive tumor cells. Therefore, M802 might be a promising HER2 targeted agent.

An Optimized Full-Length FLT3/CD3 Bispecific Antibody Demonstrates Potent Anti-leukemia Activity and Reversible Hematological Toxicity.

Project description:FLT3 (FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3), expressed on the surface of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) blasts, is a promising AML target, given its role in the development and progression of leukemia, and its limited expression in tissues outside the hematopoietic system. Small molecule FLT3 kinase inhibitors have been developed, but despite having clinical efficacy, they are effective only on a subset of patients and associated with high risk of relapse. A durable therapy that can target a wider population of AML patients is needed. Here, we developed an anti-FLT3-CD3 immunoglobulin G (IgG)-based bispecific antibody (7370) with a high affinity for FLT3 and a long half-life, to target FLT3-expressing AML blasts, irrespective of FLT3 mutational status. We demonstrated that 7370 has picomolar potency against AML cell lines in vitro and in vivo. 7370 was also capable of activating T cells from AML patients, redirecting their cytotoxic activity against autologous blasts at low effector-to-target (E:T) ratio. Additionally, under our dosing regimen, 7370 was well tolerated and exhibited potent efficacy in cynomolgus monkeys by inducing complete but reversible depletion of peripheral FLT3+ dendritic cells (DCs) and bone marrow FLT3+ stem cells and progenitors. Overall, our results support further clinical development of 7370 to broadly target AML patients.

A Novel Bispecific Antibody against Human CD3 and Ephrin Receptor A10 for Breast Cancer Therapy.

Project description:Ephrin receptor A10 (EphA10), a transmembrane receptor that binds to ephrin, is a newly identified breast cancer marker protein that has also been detected in HER2-negative tissue. In this study, we report creation of a novel bispecific antibody (BsAb) binding both EphA10 and CD3, thereby forming a bridge between antigens expressed on both tumor and immune cells and promoting recognition of tumor cells by immune cells and redirection of cytotoxic T cells (CTL). This BsAb (EphA10/CD3) was expressed in supernatants of BsAb gene-transfected cells as monomeric and dimeric molecules. Redirected T-cell lysis was observed when monomeric and dimeric BsAb were added to EphA10-overexpressing tumor cells in vitro. Furthermore, dimeric BsAb (EphA10/CD3) was more cytotoxic than monomeric BsAb, with efficient tumor cell lysis elicited by lower concentrations (≤10(-1) μg/mL) and a lower effector to target (E/T) cell ratio (E/T = 2.5). Dimeric BsAb (EphA10/CD3) also showed significant anti-tumor effects in human xenograft mouse models. Together, these results revealed opportunities to redirect the activity of CTL towards tumor cells that express EphA10 using the BsAb (EphA10/CD3), which could be tested in future clinical trials as a novel and potent therapeutic for breast cancer tumors.

Therapeutic Bispecific T-Cell Engager Antibody Targeting the Transferrin Receptor.

Project description:Bispecific T-cell engager antibodies (BiTE) have been explored as a means to recruit cytolytic T cells to kill tumor cells. The transferrin receptor (TfR) is highly expressed on the surface of rapidly proliferating tumor cells. Therefore, it holds great potential in T cell redirecting therapies. In this research, we developed a BiTE targeting TfR and CD3 (TfR-BiTE) and studied its therapeutic impact on TfR-positive cancer. TfR-BiTE had the ability to induce the selective lysis of various TfR-positive cancer cells through the activation of T cells, the release of cytokines, and then the coming proliferation of T cells, whereas TfR-negative cells were not affected. In a subcutaneous HepG2 xenograft model, low concentrations of TfR-BiTE inhibited tumor growth. Overall, these results reveal that TfR-BiTE can selectively deplete TfR-positive HepG2 cells; hence, it represents a novel immunotherapeutic approach for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma.
