B7-H3 as a Target for CAR-T Cell Therapy in Skull Base Chordoma.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

chordomas are rare bone tumors with few therapeutic options. Skull base and sacrum are the two most common origin sites. Immunotherapies are emerging as the most promising approaches to fight various cancers. This study tends to identify new cell surface targets for immunotherapeutic options of skull base chordomas.

Methods

we profiled 45 skull base chordoma clinical samples by immunohistochemistry for the expression of six CAR-Targets (PD-L1, B7-H3, B7-H4, VISTA, HER2 and HER3). In addition, we generated B7-H3 targeted CAR-T-cells and evaluated their antitumor activities in vitro.

Results

We found that B7-H3 was positively stained in 7 out of 45 (16%) chordoma samples and established an expression hierarchy for these antigens (B7-H3 > HER3 > PD-L1 > HER2 = VISTA = B7-H4). We then generated a B7-H3 targeted CAR vector and demonstrated that B7-H3-CAR-T-cells recognized antigen positive cells and exhibited significant antitumor effects, including suppression of tumor spheroid formation, CAR-T-cell activation and cytokine secretion.

Conclusions

Our results support B7-H3 might serve as a promising target for CAR-T-cell therapies against chordomas.

Human skull base chordoma LC-MSMS

Project description:The prognostic factors of skull base chordoma associated with outcomes of patients after surgical resection remain poorly defined. This project aimed to identify a novel prognostic factor for patients with skull base chordoma. Using a proteomics approach, we screened tumor biomarkersthat upregulated in the rapid-recurrence group of chordoma, narrowed down by bioinformatics analysis, and finally potential biomarker was chosen for validation by immunohistochemistry using tissue microarray.

B7-H3 as a Novel CAR-T Therapeutic Target for Glioblastoma.

Project description:Glioblastoma (GBM) remains one of the most malignant primary tumors in adults, with a 5-year survival rate less than 10% because of lacking effective treatment. Here, we aimed to explore whether B7-H3 could serve as a novel therapeutic target for GBM in chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy. In this study, a CAR targeting B7-H3 was constructed and transduced into T cells by lentivirus. Antitumor effects of B7-H3-specific CAR-T cells were assessed with primary and GBM cell lines both in vitro and in vivo. Our results indicated that B7-H3 was positively stained in most of the clinical glioma samples, and its expression levels were correlated to the malignancy grade and poor survival in both low-grade glioma (LGG) and GBM patients. Specific antitumor functions of CAR-T cells were confirmed by cytotoxic and ELISA assay both in primary glioblastoma cells and GBM cell lines. In the orthotropic GBM models, the median survival of the CAR-T-cell-treated group was significantly longer than that of the control group. In conclusion, B7-H3 is frequently overexpressed in GBM patients and may serve as a therapeutic target in CAR-T therapy.

Genomic and transcriptomic characterization of skull base chordoma.

Project description:Skull base chordoma is a primary rare malignant bone-origin tumor showing relatively slow growth pattern and locally destructive lesions, which can only be characterized by histologic components. There is no available prognostic or therapeutic biomarker to predict clinical outcome or treatment response and the molecular mechanisms underlying chordoma development still remain unexplored. Therefore, we sought out to identify novel somatic variations that are associated with chordoma progression and potentially employed as therapeutic targets. Thirteen skull base chordomas were subjected for whole-exome and/or whole-transcriptome sequencing. In process, we have identified chromosomal aberration in 1p, 7, 10, 13 and 17q, high frequency of functional germline SNP of the T gene, rs2305089 (P = 0.0038) and several recurrent alterations including MUC4, NBPF1, NPIPB15 mutations and novel gene fusion of SAMD5-SASH1 for the first time in skull base chordoma.

Therapy to target renal cell carcinoma using 131I-labeled B7-H3 monoclonal antibody.

Project description:B7-H3 is a tumor-associated antigen that plays a critical role in potential tumor-targeted therapy. In this study, we aimed to assess the radiobiological effect of 131I-labeled B7-H3 monoclonal antibody (131I-4H7) in nude mice with human renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and evaluate the effect of 131I-4H7 on RCC treatment. The radiobiological activity and tumor uptake of 131I-4H7, and its effect on tumor growth were measured. 131I-4H7 was absorbed by the tumor and reached its maximal uptake rate (3.32% injected dose [ID]/g) at 24 h, at which point the drug concentration in the tumor was 7.36-, 2.06-, 1.80-, and 2.78-fold higher than that in muscle, kidneys, liver, and heart, respectively. Measurements and positron emission tomography-computed tomography imaging showed that tumor development was significantly inhibited by 131I-4H7. HE staining revealed that 131I-4H7 significantly injures tumor cells. Our results suggest that 131I-4H7 is markedly absorbed by the tumor and did suppress the development of RCC xenografted tumors in nude mice, which might provide a new candidate for antibody-mediated targeted radiotherapy in human RCC.

B7-H3 as a promising target for cytotoxicity T cell in human cancer therapy.

Project description:Targeting B7-H3 over-expressed tumor cells with anti-B7-H3 monoclonal antibodies inhibits tumor growth. Here we demonstrated the expression of B7 family homologue 3 (B7-H3) in a wide range of human tumor cells and further investigated whether B7-H3 could be served as a target for T-cell mediated immunotherapy against human cancers. The specific cytotoxic activity of activated T cell (ATC) armed with a novel anti-CD3 x anti-B7-H3 bispecific antibody (B7-H3Bi-Ab) against tumor cell was evaluated in vitro and in vivo. In contrast with unarmed ATC, an increase in cytotoxic activity of B7-H3Bi-armed ATC against tumor cells was observed at effector/target (E/T) ratios of 5:1, 10:1, and 20:1. Moreover, B7-H3Bi-armed ATC secreted more IFN-?, TNF-? and IL-2 than unarmed ATC. Infusion of B7-H3Bi-armed ATC inhibited tumor growth in severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) xenograft models, along with a significant survival benefit. Therefore, treatment with novel B7-H3Bi-armed ATC will be a promising strategy for current cancer immunotherapy.

Feasibility of proton beam therapy for chordoma and chondrosarcoma of the skull base.

Project description:We explored the general feasibility of proton beam therapy for chordoma and chondrosarcoma of the skull base. Clinical records and treatment-planning data of patients with the pathological diagnosis of chordoma or chondrosarcoma were examined. Proton beam therapy was administered for gross tumor mass as well as microscopic residual disease after surgery. The prescribed dose was determined to maximize the coverage of the target and to not exceed predefined constraints for the organs at risk. Eight cases of chordoma and eight cases of chondrosarcoma were enrolled. The median tumor volume was 40 cm(3) (range, 7 to 546 cm(3)). The prescribed dose ranged from 50 to 70 Gy (relative biological effectiveness [RBE]), with a median of 63 Gy RBE. The median follow-up duration was 42 months (range 9 to 80 months). The overall survival rate was 100%, and the local control rate at 3 years of chordoma and chondrosarcoma were 100% and 86%. None of the patients developed radiation-induced optic neuropathy, brain stem injury, or other severe toxicity. Proton beam therapy is generally feasible for both chordoma and chondrosarcoma of the skull base, with excellent local control and survival rates.

WRN Cys1367Arg polymorphism is not associated with skull base chordoma.

Project description:Skull base chordoma is a rare tumor with unknown risk factors. Werner syndrome, which is caused by a mutation in the WRN gene, is a disease of progeria, resembling the pathological process of aging. The present study aimed to provide data on the possible association between skull base chordoma and the single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs1346044 of the WRN gene. Between July, 2010 and September, 2012, a total of 65 patients with pathologically confirmed skull base chordoma and 65 control subjects were enrolled in this case-control study. The clinical data of the skull base chordoma patients were documented and the rs1346044 site in all the enrolled subjects was analyzed by sequencing and statistically compared using SPSS software. The A allele was the dominant allele of the rs1346044. The comparisons of genotype distributions and allele frequencies did not reveal any significant difference between the groups [P=0.383, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.346-1.505]. The clinicopathological factors were assessed and no statistically significant difference was observed. In conclusion, the present study suggested that there is no association between rs1346044 SNP and skull base chordomas, at least in the population analyzed.

Diffusion-weighted MRI: distinction of skull base chordoma from chondrosarcoma.

Project description:Background and purposeChordoma and chondrosarcoma of the skull base are rare tumors with overlapping presentations and anatomic imaging features but different prognoses. We hypothesized that these tumors might be distinguished by using diffusion-weighted MR imaging.Materials and methodsWe retrospectively reviewed 19 patients with pathologically confirmed chordoma or chondrosarcoma who underwent both conventional and diffusion-weighted MR imaging. Differences in distributions of ADC were assessed by the Kruskal-Wallis test. Associations between histopathologic diagnosis and conventional MR imaging features (T2 signal intensity, contrast enhancement, and tumor location) were assessed with the Fisher exact test.ResultsChondrosarcoma was associated with the highest mean ADC value (2051 ± 261 × 10(-6) mm(2)/s) and was significantly different from classic chordoma (1474 ± 117 × 10(-6) mm(2)/s) and poorly differentiated chordoma (875 ± 100 × 10(-6) mm(2)/s) (P < .001). Poorly differentiated chordoma was characterized by low T2 signal intensity (P = .001), but other conventional MR imaging features of enhancement and/or lesion location did not reliably distinguish these tumor types.ConclusionsDiffusion-weighted MR imaging may be useful in assessing clival tumors, particularly in differentiating chordoma from chondrosarcoma. A prospective study of a larger cohort will be required to determine the value of ADC in predicting histopathologic diagnosis.
