Secreted frizzled related protein 2 (SFRP2) is overexpressed in human angiosarcoma and breast cancer, and stimulates angiogenesis via activation of the calcineurin/ NFATc3 pathway. There are conflicting reports in the literature as to whether SFRP2 is an antagonist or agonist of ß-catenin. The aims of these studies were to assess the effects of SFRP2 antagonism on tumor growth and Wnt-signaling, and to evaluate whether SFRP2 is a viable therapeutic target. The anti-angiogenic and anti-tumor properties of SFRP2 monoclonal antibody (mAb) were assessed using in vitro proliferation, migration, and tube formation assays; and in vivo angiosarcoma and triple negative breast cancer models. Wnt-signaling was assessed in endothelial and tumor cells treated with SFRP2 mAb using Western blotting. Pharmacokinetic (PK) and biodistribution data were generated in tumor-bearing and non-tumor bearing mice. SFRP2 mAb was shown to induce anti-tumor and anti-angiogenic effects in vitro, and inhibit activation of ß-catenin and NFATc3 in endothelial and tumor cells. Treatment of SVR angiosarcoma allografts in nude mice with the SFRP2 mAb decreased tumor volume by 58% compared to control (p=0.004). Treatment of MDA-MB-231 breast carcinoma xenografts with SFRP2 mAb decreased tumor volume by 52% (p=0.03) compared to control, while bevacizumab did not significantly reduce tumor volume. Pharmacokinetic studies show the antibody is long circulating in the blood and preferentially accumulates in SFRP2-positive tumors. In conclusion, antagonizing SFRP2 inhibits activation of ß-catenin and NFATc3 in endothelial and tumor cells, and is a novel therapeutic approach to inhibiting angiosarcoma and triple negative breast cancer.
