Apoptotic and antitumor activity of death receptor antibodies require inhibitory Fc? receptor engagement.

ABSTRACT: By virtue of their ability to induce apoptosis and regulate growth, differentiation, and cytokine responses, the tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) superfamily members have emerged as attractive targets for anticancer therapeutics. Agonistic antibodies to apoptosis-inducing TNFRs, such as death receptor 5 (DR5), although displaying impressive activities against a variety of tumors in preclinical models, appear to be less active in clinical trials. We report that the in vivo apoptotic and antitumor activities of these antibodies have an absolute requirement for the coengagement of an inhibitory Fc? receptor, Fc?RIIB. Anti-DR5 antibodies of the type currently in clinical trials have weak Fc?RIIB binding and thus are compromised in their proapoptotic and antitumor activities in both colon and breast carcinoma models. Enhancing Fc?RIIB engagement increases apoptotic and antitumor potency. Our results demonstrate that Fc domain interactions are critical to the therapeutic activity of anti-DR5 antibodies and, together with previous reports on agonistic anti-CD40 antibodies, establish a common requirement for Fc?RIIB coengagement for optimal biological effects of agonistic anti-TNFR antibodies.

Project description:BackgroundTumor necrosis factor (TNF) is an important cytokine in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Anti-TNF antibodies have been successfully implemented in IBD therapy, however their efficacies differ among IBD patients. Here we investigate the influence of CD64 Fc receptor on the inhibitory activity of anti-TNFs in cells of intestinal wall.MethodsIntestinal cell lines, monocytes/macrophages and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were used as models. The efficacies of adalimumab, infliximab and certolizumab-pegol were assessed by RT-PCR for target genes. Protein levels and localizations were examined by Western blotting and immunofluorescence. Antibody fragments were obtained by proteolytic digestion, immunoprecipitation and protein chip analysis. Knock-down of specific gene expression was performed using siRNAs.ResultsInfliximab had limited efficacy towards soluble TNF in cell types expressing Fc gamma receptor CD64. Both adalimumab and infliximab had lower efficacies in PBMCs of IBD patients, which express elevated levels of CD64. Infliximab-TNF complexes were more potent in activating CD64 in THP-1 cells than adalimumab, which was accompanied by distinct phospho-tyrosine signals. Blocking Fc parts and isolation of Fab fragments of infliximab improved its efficacy. IFN-?-induced expression of CD64 correlated with a loss of efficacy of infliximab, whereas reduction of CD64 expression by either siRNA or PMA treatment improved inhibitory activity of this drug. Colonic mRNA expression levels of CD64 and other Fc gamma receptors were significantly increased in the inflamed tissues of infliximab non-responders.ConclusionsCD64 modulates the efficacy of infliximab both in vitro and ex vivo, whereas the presence of this receptor has no impact on the inhibitory activity of certolizumab-pegol, which lacks Fc fragment. These data could be helpful in both predicting and evaluating the outcome of anti-TNF therapy in IBD patients with elevated systemic and local levels of Fc receptors.
