Hull A, Li Y, Bartholomeusz D, Hsieh W, Allen B, Bezak E. Radioimmunotherapy of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma: A Review of the Current Status of Literature. Cancers (Basel) 2020; 12:E481. [PMID: 32092952 PMCID: PMC7072553 DOI: 10.3390/cancers12020481] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2020] [Revised: 02/11/2020] [Accepted: 02/15/2020] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has long been associated with low survival rates. A lack of accurate diagnostic tests and limited treatment options contribute to the poor prognosis of PDAC. Radioimmunotherapy using α- or β-emitting radionuclides has been identified as a potential treatment for PDAC. By harnessing the cytotoxicity of α or β particles, radioimmunotherapy may overcome the anatomic and physiological factors which traditionally make PDAC resistant to most conventional treatments. Appropriate selection of target receptors and the development of selective and cytotoxic radioimmunoconjugates are needed to achieve the desired results of radioimmunotherapy. The aim of this review is to examine the growing preclinical and clinical trial evidence regarding the application of α and β radioimmunotherapy for the treatment of PDAC. A systematic search of MEDLINE® and Scopus databases was performed to identify 34 relevant studies conducted on α or β radioimmunotherapy of PDAC. Preclinical results demonstrated α and β radioimmunotherapy provided effective tumour control. Clinical studies were limited to investigating β radioimmunotherapy only. Phase I and II trials observed disease control rates of 11.2%-57.9%, with synergistic effects noted for combination therapies. Further developments and optimisation of treatment regimens are needed to improve the clinical relevance of α and β radioimmunotherapy in PDAC.

Abstract
Primary graft dysfunction after lung transplantation is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the immediate posttransplant period and is characterized by endothelial and epithelial barrier disruption and the leakage of protein-rich edema fluid. Integrins are cell surface receptors that have an important role in maintenance of the cell barrier, and inhibition of integrins, such as αvβ5, can diminish alveolar flooding in lung injury models. We hypothesized that inhibition of αvβ5 during donor lung cold ischemia would reduce endothelial permeability during reperfusion. Using an orthotopic single lung transplantation model with and without cold ischemia, donor lungs were perfused with αvβ5-blocking antibody (ALULA) or control antibody at the time of collection, followed by transplantation, 8 h of reperfusion, and the measurement of lung injury parameters. Prolonged cold ischemia (18 h) produced increases in extravascular lung water, protein permeability, and neutrophilic alveolitis and decreased oxygenation compared with lungs without cold ischemia. Perfusion of lungs with αvβ5 antibody versus control antibody protected donor lungs from injury and significantly improved oxygenation. In summary, αvβ5 integrin blockade protects from the development of ischemia-reperfusion lung injury and is a promising approach to preventing primary graft dysfunction in human lung transplant procedures.

Development
of novel imaging probes for cancer diagnostics remains
critical for early detection of disease, yet most imaging agents are
hindered by suboptimal tumor accumulation. To overcome these limitations,
researchers have adapted antibodies for imaging purposes. As cancerous
malignancies express atypical patterns of cell surface proteins in
comparison to noncancerous tissues, novel antibody-based imaging agents
can be constructed to target individual cancer cells or surrounding
vasculature. Using molecular imaging techniques, these agents may
be utilized for detection of malignancies and monitoring of therapeutic
response. Currently, there are several imaging modalities commonly
employed for molecular imaging. These imaging modalities include positron
emission tomography (PET), single-photon emission computed tomography
(SPECT), magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, optical imaging (fluorescence
and bioluminescence), and photoacoustic (PA) imaging. While antibody-based
imaging agents may be employed for a broad range of diseases, this
review focuses on the molecular imaging of pancreatic cancer, as there
are limited resources for imaging and treatment of pancreatic malignancies.
Additionally, pancreatic cancer remains the most lethal cancer with
an overall 5-year survival rate of approximately 7%, despite significant
advances in the imaging and treatment of many other cancers. In this
review, we discuss recent advances in molecular imaging of pancreatic
cancer using antibody-based imaging agents. This task is accomplished
by summarizing the current progress in each type of molecular imaging
modality described above. Also, several considerations for designing
and synthesizing novel antibody-based imaging agents are discussed.
Lastly, the future directions of antibody-based imaging agents are
discussed, emphasizing the potential applications for personalized
medicine.

Targeting cancer stem cells with an 131I-labeled anti-AC133 monoclonal antibody in human colorectal cancer xenografts. Nucl Med Biol 2015; 42:505-512. [PMID: 25669587 DOI: 10.1016/j.nucmedbio.2015.01.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2014] [Revised: 12/21/2014] [Accepted: 01/03/2015] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are a subpopulation within a tumor, which possesses the characteristics of self-renewal, differentiation, tumorigenicity, and drug resistance. The aim of this study was to target the colorectal CSC marker CD133 with an(131)I-labeled specific monoclonal antibody (AC133 mAb) in a nude mouse xenograft model. METHODS Colorectal adenocarcinoma cells (LoVo cell line) were separated into CD133(+) and CD133(-) cells by magnetic activated cell sorting. CD133(+), CD133(-), and unsorted LoVo cells were cultured and then implanted subcutaneously into the lower limbs of nude mice (n = 5). AC133 mAb was labeled with (131)I by the iodogen method. RESULTS The radiolabeled compound, (131)I-AC133 mAb, showed high stability, specificity, and immunoactivity in vitro. Obvious accumulation of (131)I-AC133 mAb was seen in nude mice bearing xenografts of CD133(+) and unsorted LoVo cells, but no uptake was found in mice bearing CD133(-) xenografts or specifically blocked xenografts. Biodistribution analysis showed that the tumor uptake of (131)I-AC133 mAb was 6.97 ± 1.40, 1.35 ± 0.48, 6.12 ± 1.91, and 1.61 ± 0.44% ID/g (n = 4) at day 7 after injection of (131)I-AC133 mAb in CD133(+), CD133(-), unsorted LoVo cell and specifically blocked xenografts, respectively. The results of immunofluorescence, autoradiography, and western blotting further verified the specific binding of (131)I-AC133 mAb to CD133(+) tumors. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates the possibility of targeting CSCs with a radiolabeled AC133 mAb in colorectal cancer xenografts based on in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo experiments. Our findings suggest a new method for imaging CSCs non-invasively.

[PMID: 23557246 PMCID: PMC3626673 DOI: 10.1186/2191-219x-3-25] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2012] [Accepted: 03/19/2013] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Previous studies showed that radiolabeled murine monoclonal antibody (mAb) 14C5 and its Fab and F(ab')2 fragments, targeting αvβ5 integrin, have promising properties for diagnostic and therapeutic applications in cancer. To diminish the risk of generating a human anti-mouse antibody response in patients, chimeric variants were created. The purpose of this study was to recombinantly produce chimeric antibody (chAb) derivatives of the murine mAb 14C5 and to evaluate the in vitro and in vivo characteristics. Methods In vitro stability, specificity, and affinity of radioiodinated chAb and fragments (Iodo-Gen method) were examined on high-expressing αvβ5 A549 lung tumor cells. In vivo biodistribution and pharmacokinetic characteristics were studied in A549 lung tumor-bearing Swiss Nu/Nu mice. Results Saturation binding experiments revealed high in vitro affinity of radioiodinated chAb, F(ab')2, and Fab, with dissociation constants (KD) of 1.19 ± 0.19, 0.68 ± 0.10, and 2.11 ± 0.58 nM, respectively. ChAb 14C5 showed highest tumor uptake (approximately 10%ID/g) at 24 h post injection, corresponding with other high-affinity Abs. ChF(ab')2 and chFab fragments showed faster clearance from the blood compared to the intact Ab. Conclusions The chimerization of mAb 14C5 and its fragments has no or negligible effect on the properties of the antibody. In vitro and in vivo properties show that the chAb 14C5 is promising for radioimmunotherapy, due to its high maximum tumor uptake and its long retention in the tumor. The chF(ab')2 fragment shows a similar receptor affinity and a faster blood clearance, causing less non-specific retention than the chAb. Due to their fast blood clearance, the fragments show high potential for radioimmunodiagnosis.

Eur J Nucl Med Mol Imaging 2013; 40:744-58.

Abstract
PURPOSE We compared the performance of three commercial small-animal μSPECT scanners equipped with multipinhole general purpose (GP) and multipinhole high-resolution (HR) collimators designed for imaging mice. METHODS Spatial resolution, image uniformity, point source sensitivity and contrast recovery were determined for the U-SPECT-II (MILabs), the NanoSPECT-NSO (BioScan) and the X-SPECT (GE) scanners. The pinhole diameters of the HR collimator were 0.35 mm, 0.6 mm and 0.5 mm for these three systems respectively. A pinhole diameter of 1 mm was used for the GP collimator. To cover a broad field of imaging applications three isotopes were used with various photon energies: (99m)Tc (140 keV), (111)In (171 and 245 keV) and (125)I (27 keV). Spatial resolution and reconstructed image uniformity were evaluated in both HR and a GP mode with hot rod phantoms, line sources and a uniform phantom. Point source sensitivity and contrast recovery measures were additionally obtained in the GP mode with a novel contrast recovery phantom developed in-house containing hot and cold submillimetre capillaries on a warm background. RESULTS In hot rod phantom images, capillaries as small as 0.4 mm with the U-SPECT-II, 0.75 mm with the X-SPECT and 0.6 mm with the NanoSPECT-NSO could be resolved with the HR collimators for (99m)Tc. The NanoSPECT-NSO achieved this resolution in a smaller field-of-view (FOV) and line source measurements showed that this device had a lower axial than transaxial resolution. For all systems, the degradation in image resolution was only minor when acquiring the more challenging isotopes (111)In and (125)I. The point source sensitivity with (99m)Tc and GP collimators was 3,984 cps/MBq for the U-SPECT-II, 620 cps/MBq for the X-SPECT and 751 cps/MBq for the NanoSPECT-NSO. The effects of volume sensitivity over a larger object were evaluated by measuring the contrast recovery phantom in a realistic FOV and acquisition time. For 1.5-mm rods at a noise level of 8 %, the contrast recovery coefficient (CRC) was 42 %, 37 % and 34 % for the U-SPECT-II, X-SPECT and NanoSPECT-NSO, respectively. At maximal noise levels of 10 %, a CRCcold of 70 %, 52 % and 42 % were obtained for the U-SPECT-II, X-SPECT and NanoSPECT-NSO, respectively. When acquiring (99m)Tc with the GP collimators, the integral/differential uniformity values were 30 %/14 % for the U-SPECT-II, 50 %/30 % for the X-SPECT and 38 %/25 % for the NanoSPECT-NSO. When using the HR collimators, these uniformity values remained similar for U-SPECT-II and X-SPECT, but not for the NanoSPECT-NSO for which the uniformity deteriorated with larger volumes. CONCLUSION We compared three μSPECT systems by acquiring and analysing mouse-sized phantoms including a contrast recovery phantom built in-house offering the ability to measure the hot contrast on a warm background in the submillimetre resolution range. We believe our evaluation addressed the differences in imaging potential for each system to realistically image tracer distributions in mouse-sized objects.

SIB-DOTA: a trifunctional prosthetic group potentially amenable for multi-modal labeling that enhances tumor uptake of internalizing monoclonal antibodies. Bioorg Med Chem 2012; 20:6929-39. [PMID: 23159039 DOI: 10.1016/j.bmc.2012.10.025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2012] [Revised: 10/07/2012] [Accepted: 10/17/2012] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
A major drawback of internalizing monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) radioiodinated with direct electrophilic approaches is that tumor retention of radioactivity is compromised by the rapid washout of iodo-tyrosine, the primary labeled catabolite for mAbs labeled via this strategy. In our continuing efforts to develop more versatile residualizing labels that could overcome this problem, we have designed SIB-DOTA, a prosthetic labeling template that combines the features of the prototypical, dehalogenation-resistant N-succinimidyl 3-iodobenzoate (SIB) with DOTA, a useful macrocyclic chelator for labeling with radiometals. Herein we describe the synthesis of the unlabeled standard of this prosthetic moiety, its protected tin precursor, and radioiodinated SIB-DOTA. An anti-EGFRvIII-reactive mAb, L8A4 was radiolabeled with [(131)I]SIB-DOTA in 27.1±6.2% (n=2) conjugation yields and its targeting properties to the same mAb labeled with [(125)I]SGMIB both in vitro and in vivo using U87MG·ΔEGFR cells and xenografts were compared. In vitro paired-label internalization assays showed that the intracellular radioactivity from [(131)I]SIB-DOTA-L8A4 was 21.4±0.5% and 26.2±1.1% of initially bound radioactivity at 16 and 24h, respectively. In comparison, these values for [(125)I]SGMIB-L8A4 were 16.7±0.5% and 14.9±1.1%. Similarly, the SIB-DOTA prosthetic group provided better tumor targeting in vivo than SGMIB over 8 d period. These results suggest that SIB-DOTA warrants further evaluation as a residualizing agent for labeling internalizing mAbs including those targeted to EGFRvIII.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to generate and evaluate a positron emission tomography (PET) radiotracer targeting activated leukocyte cell adhesion molecule (ALCAM). PROCEDURES A human anti-ALCAM single chain variable fragment was reformatted to produce a covalent dimer, termed a cys-diabody (CysDb). Purified CysDb was characterized by gel electrophoresis and size exclusion chromatography, and immunoreactivity was assessed by flow cytometry and immunofluorescence. Targeting and imaging of ALCAM-positive tumors using (64)Cu-DOTA-CysDb were evaluated in mice bearing human pancreatic adenocarcinoma xenografts (HPAF-II or BxPC-3). RESULTS CysDb binds specifically to ALCAM-positive cells in vitro with an apparent affinity in the range of 1-3 nM. MicroPET images at 4 h showed specific targeting of positive tumors in vivo, a finding confirmed by biodistribution analysis, with positive/negative tumor ratios of 1.9 ± 0.6 and 2.4 ± 0.6, and positive tumor/blood ratios of 2.5 ± 0.9 and 2.9 ± 0.6 (HPAF-II and BxPC-3, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Successful imaging with (64)Cu-DOTA-CysDb in animal models suggests further investigation of ALCAM as an imaging biomarker is warranted.
