项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The present proposal seeks to develop a novel anti-prostate specific antigen (PSA) IgE antibody for the treatment of prostate cancer (PCA) with the goal to induce a hypersensitivity reaction to the tumor. The objective of this proposal is to generate the anti-PSA IgE and to demonstrate that this anti-PSA IgE will target the tumor by two parallel pathways: a) by mediating bystander antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) and phagocytosis (ADCP) effects in the tumor microenvironment and b) by activating PSA- specific T and B cells due to uptake of immune complexes (IC) composed of anti-PSA IgE and soluble PSA antigen by antigen-presenting cells (APCs). Together, these mechanisms can result in an acute inflammation of the tumor microenvironment with subsequent tumor destruction. This will initially be investigated in in vitro systems, followed by studies in relevant animal models and clinical trials in hormone refractory PCA. Specific Aims: To accomplish our goal we propose three specific aims: 1) to construct, test and produce at small-scale the human/mouse chimeric anti-PSA IgE antibody, 2) to biochemically and biologically characterize the anti-PSA IgE in vitro, and 3) to assess the direct anti-tumor effector mechanisms of the anti-PSA IgE. Study Design: The anti-PSA IgE will be constructed by genetically fusing the cDNA encoding the variable regions of the anti-PSA MAb-AR47.47 to the DNA encoding the human kappa and epsilon constant regions and transfecting the construct into murine myeloma cells. To evaluate the properties of the anti-PSA IgE in vitro, we will evaluate the antibody's ability to bind antigen of different sources. Binding to human Fc receptor will be studied by flow cytometry, using cell lines, isolated human DCs and monocytes. Antigen-presentation studies with PSA and PSA-anti-PSA-IgE IC pulsed human DCs will be used to detect T helper CTL responses by intracellular cytokine staining for IL-4 and IL-5 vs. interferon- by CD8+ and CD4+ T cells and by confocal microscopy. Finally, we will evaluate the ability of the IgE to mediate ADCC of LNCaP tumor cells by eosinophils and test for mast cell degranulation. More elaborate in vivo studies are planned for Phase II using a human IgE/human Fc receptor transgenic mouse model. The anti-tumor activity will then be studied in this model crossed to PSA-transgenic mice bearing syngeneic human PSA expressing tumor cells. Relevance: The relevance of this project relates to the limitations of current treatment options for metastatic, hormone-refractory prostate cancer and prostate cancer in African-American men. The anti-PSA IgE will be a novel molecule capable of a two-pronged attack against cancer cells, through direct elimination of tumor cells by mast cells and eosinophils and through an adaptive anti-tumor immune response. The proposed approach is expected to significantly contribute to a decrease in the human and economic cost associated with prostate cancer and to address an unmet medical need for treatment of hormone-refractory cancer. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: With an estimated 186,320 new cases in the US for 2008, Prostate Cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer and the second leading cause of cancer deaths in American men. Incidence rates and death rates are significantly higher in African American men than in white men. Although the 5-year survival rate for all stages combined has increased due to earlier diagnosis, patients with metastatic disease, which account for approximately 15% of patients, often cannot be cured by chemotherapy and palliative radiotherapies once patients become refractory to androgen ablation, thus the need to develop innovative modalities of treatment.

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案旨在开发一种新型抗前列腺特异性抗原（PSA）IgE抗体，用于治疗前列腺癌（PCA），目的是诱导对肿瘤的超敏反应。该提案的目的是生成抗 PSA IgE，并证明该抗 PSA IgE 将通过两条平行途径靶向肿瘤：a) 通过介导肿瘤微环境中的旁观者抗体依赖性细胞介导的细胞毒性 (ADCC) 和吞噬作用 (ADCP)；b) 通过吸收免疫而激活 PSA 特异性 T 和 B 细胞抗原呈递细胞（APC）由抗 PSA IgE 和可溶性 PSA 抗原组成的复合物（IC）。这些机制共同导致肿瘤微环境的急性炎症以及随后的肿瘤破坏。这首先将在体外系统中进行研究，然后是相关动物模型的研究和激素难治性 PCA 的临床试验。具体目标：为了实现我们的目标，我们提出了三个具体目标：1）小规模构建、测试和生产人/小鼠嵌合抗 PSA IgE 抗体，2）在体外对抗 PSA IgE 进行生化和生物学表征，以及 3）评估抗 PSA IgE 的直接抗肿瘤效应机制。研究设计：抗PSA IgE将通过将编码抗PSA MAb-AR47.47可变区的cDNA与编码人κ和ε恒定区的DNA进行基因融合并将该构建体转染至小鼠骨髓瘤细胞中来构建。为了评估抗 PSA IgE 的体外特性，我们将评估抗体结合不同来源抗原的能力。将使用细胞系、分离的人 DC 和单核细胞，通过流式细胞术研究与人 Fc 受体的结合。使用 PSA 和 PSA-抗 PSA-IgE IC 脉冲的人 DC 进行抗原呈递研究，通过 CD8+ 和 CD4+ T 细胞对 IL-4 和 IL-5 与干扰素的细胞内细胞因子染色以及通过共聚焦显微镜检测辅助 T CTL 反应。最后，我们将评估 IgE 通过嗜酸性粒细胞介导 LNCaP 肿瘤细胞 ADCC 的能力并测试肥大细胞脱颗粒。计划使用人类 IgE/人类 Fc 受体转基因小鼠模型进行更精细的体内研究。然后将在该模型中研究抗肿瘤活性，该模型与携带同基因人类 PSA 表达肿瘤细胞的 PSA 转基因小鼠杂交。相关性：该项目的相关性与当前转移性、激素难治性前列腺癌和非裔美国男性前列腺癌治疗方案的局限性有关。抗PSA IgE将是一种新型分子，能够对癌细胞进行双管齐下的攻击，通过肥大细胞和嗜酸性粒细胞直接消除肿瘤细胞，并通过适应性抗肿瘤免疫反应。所提出的方法预计将显着有助于降低与前列腺癌相关的人力和经济成本，并解决治疗激素难治性癌症的未满足的医疗需求。公共健康相关性：2008 年美国估计有 186,320 例新病例，前列腺癌是最常诊断出的癌症，也是美国男性癌症死亡的第二大原因。非裔美国男性的发病率和死亡率明显高于白人。尽管由于早期诊断，各期的综合5年生存率有所提高，但约占患者15%的转移性疾病患者，一旦雄激素消融变得难治，往往无法通过化疗和姑息性放疗治愈，因此需要开发创新的治疗方式。
