Inhibitory monoclonal antibody targeting ADAM17 expressed on cancer cells.

ABSTRACT: ADAM17 is upregulated in many cancers and in turn activates signaling pathways, including EGFR/ErbB, as well as those underlying resistance to targeted anti-EGFR therapies. Due to its central role in oncogenic pathways and drug resistance mechanisms, specific and efficacious monoclonal antibodies against ADAM17 could be useful for a broad patient population with solid tumors. Hence, we describe here an inhibitory anti-ADAM17 monoclonal antibody, named D8P1C1, that preferentially recognizes ADAM17 on cancer cells. D8P1C1 inhibits the catalytic activity of ADAM17 in a fluorescence-based peptide cleavage assay, as well as the proliferation of a range of cancer cell lines, including breast, ovarian, glioma, colon and the lung adenocarcinoma. In mouse models of triple-negative breast cancer and ovarian cancer, treatment with the mAb results in 78% and 45% tumor growth inhibition, respectively. Negative staining electron microscopy analysis of the ADAM17 ectodomain in complex with D8P1C1 reveals that the mAb binds the ADAM17 protease domain, consistent with its ability to inhibit the ADAM17 catalytic activity. Collectively, our results demonstrate the therapeutic potential of the D8P1C1 mAb to treat solid tumors.

Project description:The cellular response to ionizing radiation (IR) depends on tumor cell and microenvironmental factors. Here, we investigated the role of IR-induced ADAM17 matrix metalloproteinase activity for the intercellular communication between tumor cells and the tumor vasculature in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tumor models. Factors shed by ADAM17 from NSCLC tumor cells (A549, H358) and relevant for endothelial cell migration were investigated using transwell migration assays, ELISA, and flow cytometry. Tumor angiogenesis-related endpoints were analyzed with the chorio-allantoic membrane assay and in murine NSCLC tumor models. Efficacy-oriented experiments were performed in a murine orthotopic NSCLC tumor model using irradiation with an image-guided small-animal radiotherapy platform alone and in combination with the novel ADAM17-directed antibody MEDI3622. In vitro, VEGF was identified as the major factor responsible for IR-induced and ADAM17-dependent endothelial cell migration toward attracting tumor cells. IR strongly enhanced tumor cell-associated ADAM17 activity, released VEGF in an ADAM17-dependent manner, and thereby coordinated the communication between tumor and endothelial cells. In vivo, tumor growth and microvessel size and density were strongly decreased in response to the combined treatment modality of IR and MEDI3622 but not by either treatment modality alone and thus suggest that the supra-additive effect of the combined treatment modality is in part due to abrogation of the ADAM17-mediated IR-induced protective effect on the tumor vasculature. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the novel ADAM17-inhibitory antibody MEDI3622 potently improves the radiotherapy response of NSCLC.SignificanceThe tumor response to radiotherapy is influenced by several factors of the tumor microenvironment. We demonstrate that inhibition of the sheddase ADAM17 by the novel antibody MEDI3622 reduces IR-induced VEGF release from tumor cells relevant for endothelial cell migration and vasculature protection, thereby enhancing radiotherapy treatment outcome of NSCLC.
