Pathogenic hantaviruses bind plexin-semaphorin-integrin domains present at the apex of inactive, bent alphavbeta3 integrin conformers.

ABSTRACT: The alphavbeta3 integrins are linked to human bleeding disorders, and pathogenic hantaviruses regulate the function of alphavbeta3 integrins and cause acute vascular diseases. alphavbeta3 integrins are present in either extended (active) or dramatically bent (inactive) structures, and interconversion of alphavbeta3 conformers dynamically regulates integrin functions. Here, we show that hantaviruses bind human alphavbeta3 integrins and that binding maps to the plexin-semaphorin-integrin (PSI) domain present at the apex of inactive, bent, alphavbeta3-integrin structures. Pathogenic hantaviruses [New York-1 virus (NY-1V) and Hantaan virus (HTNV)] bind immobilized beta3 polypeptides containing the PSI domain, and human (but not murine) beta3 polypeptides inhibit hantavirus infectivity. Substitution of human beta3 residues 1-39 for murine beta3 residues directed pathogenic hantavirus infection of nonpermissive CHO cells expressing chimeric alphavbeta3 receptors. Mutation of murine beta3 Asn-39 to Asp-39 present in human beta3 homologues (N39D) permitted hantavirus infection of cells and specified PSI domain residue interactions with pathogenic hantaviruses. In addition, cell-surface expression of alphavbeta3 locked in an inactive bent conformation conferred hantavirus infectivity of CHO cells. Our findings indicate that hantaviruses bind to a unique domain exposed on inactive integrins and, together with prior findings, suggest that this interaction restricts alphavbeta3 functions that regulate vascular permeability. Our findings suggest mechanisms for viruses to direct hemorrhagic or vascular diseases and provide a distinct target for modulating alphavbeta3-integrin functions.

Project description:BackgroundAntibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) targeting the RON receptor, a tumorigenic factor contributing to cancer malignancy, has been considered as a novel strategy for cancer therapy. Here we describe a humanized antibody recognizing the RON plexin-semaphorin-integrin (PSI) domain with increased drug delivery capability for potential clinical application.MethodMonoclonal antibody PCM5B14 specific to the human and monkey RON PSI domain was generated and characterized by various immunological methods. Humanized antibody H5B14 was created by grafting PCM5B14 complementarity-determining regions into human IgG1/κ acceptor frameworks and conjugated with monomethyl auristatin E and duocarmycin to form two H5B14-based ADCs. Stability of H5B14-based ADCs in human plasma was measured using hydrophobic interaction chromatography. Various biochemical and biological assays were used to determine ADC- regulated RON internalization, cell viability, spheroid formation, and death of cancer stem-like cells. Efficacies of H5B14-based ADCs in vivo were validated using tumor xenograft models. Maximal tolerated doses of H5B14-based ADCs were established in mice.ResultsH5B14 was highly specific to the human RON PSI domain and superior over other anti-RON ADCs in induction of RON internalization in various cancer cell lines tested. H5B14-based ADCS had a drug to antibody ratio of ~ 3.70:1 and were stable in human plasma with a minimal dissociation within a 10-day period. Functionally, H5B14-mediated drug delivery decreased cell viability at early stages with an average IC50 at ~ 20 nM in multiple cancer cell lines examined. H5B14-based ADCs also inhibited spheroid formation and caused death of cancer stem-like cells with RON+/CD44+/ESA+ phenotypes. In vivo, H5B14-based ADCs in a single injection inhibited tumor xenograft growth mediated by multiple cancer cell lines. Tumoristatic concentrations calculated from xenograft tumor models were in the range of 0.63 to 2.0 mg/kg bodyweight. Significantly, H5B14-based ADCs were capable of eradicating tumors at variable levels across multiple xenograft models regardless their malignant statuses. Toxicologically, H5B14-based ADCs were well tolerated in mice up to 60 mg/kg.ConclusionH5B14-based ADCs targeting the RON PSI domain are superior in inducing RON internalization, leading to robust drug delivery and overall inhibition and eradication of tumors in multiple xenograft models. These findings warrant H5B14-based ADCs for clinical trials in the future.
