AAMP is a binding partner of costimulatory human B7-H3.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Targeted immunotherapies are of growing interest in the treatment of various cancers. B7 homolog 3 protein (B7-H3), a member of the co-stimulatory/-inhibitory B7-family, exerts immunosuppressive and pro-tumorigenic functions in various cancer types and is under evaluation in ongoing clinical trials. Unfortunately, interaction partner(s) remain unknown which restricts the druggability.

Methods

Aiming to identify potential binding partner(s) of B7-H3, a yeast two-hybrid and a mass spectrometry screen were performed. Potential candidates were evaluated by bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) assay, co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP), and functionally in a ³H-thymidine proliferation assay of Jurkat cells, a T-cell lineage cell line. Prognostic value of angio-associated migratory cell protein (AAMP) and B7-H3 expression was evaluated in isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 wildtype (IDH1wt) glioblastoma (GBM) patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA)-GBM cohort.

Results

Of the screening candidates, CD164, AAMP, PTPRA, and SLAMF7 could be substantiated via BiFC. AAMP binding could be further confirmed via co-IP and on a functional level. AAMP was ubiquitously expressed in glioma cells, immune cells, and glioma tissue, but did not correlate with glioma grade. Finally, an interaction between AAMP and B7-H3 could be observed on expression level, hinting toward a combined synergistic effect.

Conclusions

AAMP was identified as a novel interaction partner of B7-H3, opening new possibilities to create a targeted therapy against the pro-tumorigenic costimulatory protein B7-H3.

Project description:BackgroundThe B7-H3 protein, encoded by the CD276 gene, is a member of the B7 family of proteins and a transmembrane glycoprotein. It is highly expressed in various solid tumors, such as lung and breast cancer, and has been associated with limited expression in normal tissues and poor clinical outcomes across different malignancies. Additionally, B7-H3 plays a crucial role in anticancer immune responses. Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are a promising therapeutic modality, utilizing antibodies targeting tumor antigens to selectively and effectively deliver potent cytotoxic agents to tumors.MethodsIn this study, we demonstrate the potential of a novel B7-H3-targeting ADC, ITC-6102RO, for B7-H3-targeted therapy. ITC-6102RO was developed and conjugated with dHBD, a soluble derivative of pyrrolobenzodiazepine (PBD), using Ortho Hydroxy-Protected Aryl Sulfate (OHPAS) linkers with high biostability. We assessed the cytotoxicity and internalization of ITC-6102RO in B7-H3 overexpressing cell lines in vitro and evaluated its anticancer efficacy and mode of action in B7-H3 overexpressing cell-derived and patient-derived xenograft models in vivo.ResultsITC-6102RO inhibited cell viability in B7-H3-positive lung and breast cancer cell lines, inducing cell cycle arrest in the S phase, DNA damage, and apoptosis in vitro. The binding activity and selectivity of ITC-6102RO with B7-H3 were comparable to those of the unconjugated anti-B7-H3 antibody. Furthermore, ITC-6102RO proved effective in B7-H3-positive JIMT-1 subcutaneously xenografted mice and exhibited a potent antitumor effect on B7-H3-positive lung cancer patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models. The mode of action, including S phase arrest and DNA damage induced by dHBD, was confirmed in JIMT-1 tumor tissues.ConclusionsOur preclinical data indicate that ITC-6102RO is a promising therapeutic agent for B7-H3-targeted therapy. Moreover, we anticipate that OHPAS linkers will serve as a valuable platform for developing novel ADCs targeting a wide range of targets.
