项目摘要

Abstract The American Cancer Society estimates that in 2016 there will be 1.7 million new cancer cases diagnosed and 600,000 cancer deaths in the United States. Although advances have been made in the treatment of cancer with surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and with biologics, there is a critical need to develop novel treatment approaches with promise for improved selectivity, potency, and efficacy. This project introduces a new and previously untested platform strategy to enhance the efficiency of delivery of macromolecules to the cytoplasm of targeted cells. The central component of the strategy is the use of “catch-and-release” monoclonal antibodies (CAR), with pH-dependent receptor binding. The CAR antibodies are conjugated to highly potent macromolecular toxins (CAR-toxin) and to endosome escape peptides (CAR-EEP). Combined administration of CAR-toxin and CAR-EEP conjugates allows efficient, targeted delivery and release of the toxin in the cytoplasm, enabling highly selective and potent anti-cancer efficacy. To pursue this project, we have developed a novel catch-and-release anti-carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) antibody (10H6), with high affinity CEA binding at physiological pH, and with dramatically reduced binding at acidic pH. Preliminary data have been generated to assess the binding, cytotoxicity, and pharmacokinetics of 10H6, which in sum, strongly support the feasibility of the work. An interdisciplinary team has been assembled to evaluate this approach, with three experimental aims that will: (1) examine and optimize the utility of catch and release conjugates for cytoplasmic delivery of macromolecules to cancer cells in vitro, (2) test hypotheses regarding the tumor selectivity of in vivo disposition of the antibody conjugates, and (3) evaluate the safety and efficacy of the catch-and-release mAb conjugates in the treatment of mice bearing human xenograft tumors. The project, if successful, will establish a new targeting concept, with potential utility in enhancing the efficiency of cytoplasmic delivery of virtually any macromolecule to any type of cancer.

抽象的美国癌症协会估计，2016 年将有 170 万新诊断癌症病例尽管美国在癌症治疗方面取得了进展，但仍有 60 万人因癌症死亡。通过手术、放疗、化疗和生物制剂，迫切需要开发新的治疗方法该项目引入了一种新的方法，有望提高选择性、效力和功效。以前未经测试的平台策略，可提高大分子递送至细胞质的效率该策略的核心部分是使用“捕获并释放”单克隆抗体。抗体 (CAR)，具有 pH 依赖性受体结合能力。 CAR 抗体与高效能的受体结合。大分子毒素（CAR-毒素）和内体逃逸肽（CAR-EEP）联合给药。 CAR-毒素和 CAR-EEP 缀合物的结合可实现毒素在体内的高效、有针对性的递送和释放细胞质，实现高度选择性和有效的抗癌功效。开发出一种新型捕获并释放抗癌胚抗原（CEA）抗体（10H6），具有高亲和力初步数据显示，CEA 在生理 pH 值下的结合力显着降低。生成用于评估 10H6 的结合、细胞毒性和药代动力学，总之，强烈支持该工作的可行性，已经组建了一个跨学科团队来评估这种方法，具有三个实验目标：（1）检查和优化捕获和释放结合物的效用体外将大分子通过细胞质递送至癌细胞，(2) 检验有关肿瘤的假设抗体缀合物的体内处置的选择性，以及（3）评估抗体缀合物的安全性和有效性捕获并释放单克隆抗体结合物治疗携带人类异种移植肿瘤的小鼠。成功，将建立一个新的目标概念，具有提高效率的潜在效用几乎任何大分子的细胞质递送至任何类型的癌症。
