Lorvotuzumab mertansine (LM) is an antibody-drug conjugate composed of a humanized anti-CD56 antibody, lorvotuzumab, linked via a cleavable disulfide linker to the tubulin-binding maytansinoid DM1. CD56 is expressed on most small cell lung cancers (SCLC), providing a promising therapeutic target for treatment of this aggressive cancer, which has a poor five-year survival rate of only 5–10%. We performed immunohistochemical staining on SCLC tumor microarrays, which confirmed that CD56 is expressed at high levels on most (~74%) SCLC tumors. Conjugation of lorvotuzumab with DM1 did not alter its specific binding to cells and LM demonstrated potent target-dependent cytotoxicity against CD56-positive SCLC cells in vitro. The anti-tumor activity of LM was evaluated against SCLC xenograft models in mice, both as monotherapy and in combination with platinum/etoposide and paclitaxel/carboplatin. Dose-dependent and antigen-specific anti-tumor activity of LM monotherapy was demonstrated at doses as low as 3 mg/kg. LM was highly active in combination with standard-of-care platinum/etoposide therapies, even in relatively resistant xenograft models. LM demonstrated outstanding anti-tumor activity in combination with carboplatin/etoposide, with superior activity over chemotherapy alone when LM was used in combinations at significantly reduced doses (6-fold below the minimally efficacious dose for LM monotherapy). The combination of LM with carboplatin/paclitaxel was also highly active. This study provides the rationale for clinical evaluation of LM as a promising novel targeted therapy for SCLC, both as monotherapy and in combination with chemotherapy. 相似文献

Although AIMP1 (previously known as p43) is one of three auxiliary proteins bound to a macromolecular aminoacyl tRNA complex, it is also secreted as a cytokine controlling both angiogenesis and immune responses. Here we show that systemically administered purified recombinant human AIMP1 had anti-tumor activity in mouse xenograft models. In Meth A-bearing Balb/c mice, tumor volume increased about 28 fold in the vehicle treatment group, while an increase of about 16.7 fold was observed in the AIMP1-treated group. We also evaluated the anti-tumor activity of AIMP1 in combination with a sub-clinical dose of the cytotoxic anti-tumor drug, paclitaxel. The growth of NUGC-3 human stomach cancer cells was suppressed by 84% and 94% by the combinations of 5 mg/kg paclitaxel + 25 mg/kg AIMP1 (p = 0.03), and 5 mg/kg paclitaxel + 50 mg/kg AIMP1 (p = 0.02), respectively, while 5 mg/kg paclitaxel alone suppressed growth by only 54% (p = 0.02). A similar cooperative effect of AIMP1 and paclitaxel was observed in a lung cancer xenograft model. These results suggest that AIMP1 may be useful as a novel anti-tumor agent. 相似文献

ARQ 087 is a multi-tyrosine kinase inhibitor with potent activity against the FGFR receptor family, currently in Phase I clinical studies for the treatment of advanced solid tumors. The compound has a very safe profile and induces tumor regressions in FGFR-driven models. The feasibility of combining ARQ 087 with chemotherapy was investigated in FGFR deregulated human xenografts. Nude mice were transplanted subcutaneously with H1581, and when tumor masses reached 150 mg, were randomized to receive vehicle, ARQ 087, paclitaxel, carboplatin as single agents or in combination. Similar experimental conditions were applied in nude mice bearing SNU16 and MFE296 xenografts, with the inclusion of capecitabine in the former xenograft model. In the different xenograft models, the drugs given as single agents ranged from very active to partially active. The double combinations were more active than the single ones, but the triple combinations were the most active. In particular, the combination of ARQ 087 + paclitaxel + carboplatin in H1581 bearing mice was able to induce tumor regression in all the mice, with 6/8 mice tumor free at day 140 after tumor transplant. Of note, no toxic deaths nor premature stopping or delaying of drug administration were observed. The data herein reported demonstrated the feasibility of using xenografts models for poli-chemotherapeutic trials mimicking the best standard of care in treatment of specific tumor type and that ARQ 087, a new pan-FGFR inhibitor, can be safely combined with standard cytotoxic chemotherapeutic drugs with apparently no sign of cumulative toxicity and an associated increased antitumor effect. 相似文献

Ovarian carcinosarcoma is a rare subtype of ovarian cancer with poor clinical outcomes. The low incidence of this disease makes accrual to large clinical trials challenging. However, studies have shown that treatment responses in patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models correlate with matched-patient responses in the clinic, supporting their use for preclinical testing of standard and novel therapies. An ovarian carcinosarcoma PDX is presented herein and showed resistance to carboplatin and paclitaxel (similar to the patient) but exhibited significant sensitivity to ifosfamide and paclitaxel. The PDX demonstrated overexpression of EGFR mRNA and gene amplification by array comparative genomic hybridization (log2 ratio 0.399). EGFR phosphorylation was also detected. Angiogensis and insulin-like growth factor pathways were also implicated by overexpression of VEGFC and IRS1. In order to improve response to chemotherapy, the PDX was treated with carboplatin/paclitaxel with or without a pan-HER and VEGF inhibitor (BMS-690514) but there was no tumor growth inhibition or improved animal survival, which may be explained by a KRAS mutation. Resistance was also observed when the IGF-1R inhibitor BMS-754807 was combined with carboplatin/paclitaxel. Because poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors have activity in ovarian cancer patients, with and without BRCA mutations, ABT-888 was also tested but found to have no activity. Pathogenic mutations were also detected in TP53 and PIK3CA. In conclusion, ifosfamide/paclitaxel was superior to carboplatin/paclitaxel in this ovarian carcinosarcoma PDX and gene overexpression or amplification alone was not sufficient to predict response to targeted therapy. Better predictive markers of response are needed. 相似文献

Recent preclinical evidence substantially supports the successful combination of chemotherapies and active immunotherapy for cancer treatment. These data sustain the effect of sequential combination schemes (vaccine plus chemotherapy or vice versa), which could be difficult to implement in clinical practice. Since chemotherapy is the standard treatment for most cancers, ethical issues forbid its delay and make difficult the evaluation of other treatments such as using an immunotherapeutic agent. Besides, vaccines must be applied as soon as possible to advanced cancer patients, in order to give them time to develop an effective immune response. Thus, a clinically attractive scenario is the concomitant application of treatments. However, little is known about the specific effect of different chemotherapeutic agents when combined with a cancer vaccine in such concomitant treatment. In this work, we analyze the influence of high-dose carboplatin or paclitaxel in the generation of a specific immune response when administered concomitantly with an OVA vaccine. Interestingly, neither carboplatin nor paclitaxel affects the humoral and CTL in vivo response generated by the vaccine. Moreover, an enhancement of the overall anti-tumor effect was observed in animals treated with OVA/CF vaccine combined with cytotoxic drugs. Moreover, the effect of the concomitant treatment was tested using a tumor-related antigen, the epidermal growth factor (EGF). Animals administered with EGF–P64k/Montanide and cytotoxic agents showed an antibody response similar to that from control animals. Therefore, our study suggests that carboplatin and paclitaxel can be concomitantly combined with active immunotherapies in the clinical practice of advanced cancer patients. 相似文献

Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) are promising therapeutic agents which are currently used in combination with chemotherapeutic agents in clinical trials for cancer treatment including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the mechanisms underlying their anti-tumor activities remain elusive. Previous studies showed that inhibition of HDAC6 induces DNA damage and sensitizes transformed cells to anti-tumor agents such as etoposide and doxorubicin. Here, we showed that depletion of HDAC6 in two NSCLC cell lines, H292 and A549, sensitized cells to cisplatin, one of the first-line chemotherapeutic agents used to treat NSCLC. We suggested that depletion of HDAC6 increased cisplatin-induced cytotoxicity was due to the enhancement of apoptosis via activating ATR/Chk1 pathway. Furthermore, we showed that HDAC6 protein levels were positively correlated with cisplatin IC(50) in 15 NSCLC cell lines. Lastly, depletion of HDAC6 in H292 xenografts rendered decreased tumor weight and volume and exhibited increased basal apoptosis compared with the controls in a xenograft mouse model. In summary, our findings suggest that HDAC6 is positively associated with cisplatin resistance in NSCLC and reveal HDAC6 as a potential novel therapeutic target for platinum refractory NSCLC. 相似文献

Breast cancer is the most frequent solid tumor in women. Predictive and prognostic factors play an important role in the treatment of this cancer. We focused on high risk and heavily pre-treated metastatic breast cancer patients, trying to find the best combination of cytotoxic drugs with high efficacy and low toxicity. Ifosfamide is chemically related to nitrogen mustard and is a synthetic analogue of cyclophosphamide. Ifosfamide has a wide range of antitumor activity. Since ifosfamide as monotherapy has introduced significant tumor reduction in 1(st) line chemotherapy for advanced breast cancer, some studies started with high-dose continuous infusion of ifosfamide,or combined with paclitaxel or vinorelbine. Patients with poor prognosis primary breast cancer treated with high-dose chemotherapy supported by peripheral blood progenitor cell (PBSC) transplantation have lower risk for local relapse and longer disease-free-survival. Ifosfamide working in the mobilization regimen has effective anti-tumor activity while mobilizing sufficient PBPCs in the majority of patients. In combination with other cytotoxics showed to be effective in high-dose protocols. 相似文献

Small‐cell lung cancer (SCLC) accounts for approximately 15% of lung cancer cases; however, it is characterized by easy relapse and low survival rate, leading to one of the most intractable diseases in clinical practice. Despite decades of basic and clinical research, little progress has been made in the management of SCLC. The current standard first‐line regimens of SCLC still remain to be cisplatin or carboplatin combined with etoposide, and the adverse events of chemotherapy are by no means negligible. Besides, the immunotherapy on SCLC is still in an early stage and novel studies are urgently needed. In this review, we describe SCLC development and current therapy, aiming at providing useful advices on basic research and clinical strategy. 相似文献

Although many multiple myeloma (MM) patients initially respond to cytotoxic therapy, most eventually relapse. Novel therapeutic
strategies employing a combination of chemotherapy with targeted biologics may significantly enhance the response of tumor
cells to treatment. We tested a fully human anti-IGF-IR antibody (A12) against MM, and showed specific inhibition of IGF-I
or serum -induced IGF-IR signaling in MM cells in vitro. The A12 as a single agent was demonstrated to exert modest to significant
inhibition of tumor growth in vivo in various subcutaneous xenograft MM models. The A12 was also evaluated in a disseminated
xenograft MM.1S NOD/SCID model as monotherapy or in combination with other drugs (bortezomib, melphalan) currently in clinical
use. The tumor burden, as determined by luciferase bioimaging, was sharply decreased, and overall survival significantly prolonged
when the therapies were combined. Immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated that the A12 treated tumors had significantly
decreased vascularization compared to control tumors. Furthermore, most MM lines constitutively secreted significant quantities
of VEGF, and this was enhanced following IGF-I treatment. Inhibition of IGF-IR by the A12 in vitro suppressed both constitutive
and IGF-I-induced secretion of VEGF, indicating that a putative anti-angiogenic mechanism associated with the A12 treatment
may contribute to its anti-tumor effect. 相似文献

4-1BB (CD137, TNFRSF9) is a costimulatory receptor expressed on several subsets of activated immune cells. Numerous studies of mouse and human T cells indicate that 4-1BB promotes cellular proliferation, survival, and cytokine production. 4-1BB agonist mAbs have demonstrated efficacy in prophylactic and therapeutic settings in both monotherapy and combination therapy tumor models and have established durable anti-tumor protective T-cell memory responses. PF-05082566 is a fully human IgG2 that binds to the extracellular domain of human 4-1BB with high affinity and specificity. In preclinical studies, this agonist antibody demonstrated its ability to activate NF-κB and induce downstream cytokine production, promote leukocyte proliferation, and inhibit tumor growth in a human PBMC xenograft tumor model. The mechanism of action and robust anti-tumor efficacy of PF-05082566 support its clinical development for the treatment of a broad spectrum of human malignancies. 相似文献

Currently, the treatment for ovarian cancer entails cytoreductive surgery followed by chemotherapy, mainly, carboplatin combined with paclitaxel. Although this regimen is initially effective in a high percentage of cases, unfortunately within few months of initial treatment, tumor relapse occurs because of platinum-resistance. This is attributed to chemo-resistance of cancer stem cells (CSCs). Herein we show for the first time that withaferin A (WFA), a bioactive compound isolated from the plant Withania somnifera, when used alone or in combination with cisplatin (CIS) targets putative CSCs. Treatment of nude mice bearing orthotopic ovarian tumors generated by injecting human ovarian epithelial cancer cell line (A2780) with WFA and cisplatin (WFA) alone or in combination resulted in a 70 to 80% reduction in tumor growth and complete inhibition of metastasis to other organs compared to untreated controls. Histochemical and Western blot analysis of the tumors revealed that inclusion of WFA (2 mg/kg) resulted in a highly significant elimination of cells expressing CSC markers - CD44, CD24, CD34, CD117 and Oct4 and downregulation of Notch1, Hes1 and Hey1 genes. In contrast treatment of mice with CIS alone (6 mg/kg) had opposite effect on those cells. Increase in cells expressing CSC markers and Notch1 signaling pathway in tumors exposed to CIS may explain recurrence of cancer in patients treated with carboplatin and paclitaxel. Since, WFA alone or in combination with CIS eliminates putative CSCs, we conclude that WFA in combination with CIS may present more efficacious therapy for ovarian cancer. 相似文献

Esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) is the fastest growing cancer in the western world and the overall 5 year survival rate of EAC is below 20%. Most patients with EAC present with locally advanced or widespread metastatic disease, where current treatment is largely ineffective. Therefore, new therapeutic approaches are urgently needed. Nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel (nab-paclitaxel) is a novel albumin-stabilized, cremophor-free and water soluble nanoparticle formulation of paclitaxel, and the potential role of nab-paclitaxel has not been tested yet in experimental EAC. Here we tested the antiproliferative and antitumor efficacy with survival advantage of nab-paclitaxel as monotherapy and in combinations in in-vitro, and in murine subcutaneous xenograft and peritoneal metastatic survival models of human EAC. Nab-paclitaxel significantly inhibited in-vitro cell proliferation with higher in-vivo antitumour efficacy and survival benefit compared to paclitaxel or carboplatin treatments both in mono- and combination therapies. Nab-paclitaxel treatment increased expression of mitotic-spindle associated phospho-stathmin, decreased expression of proliferative markers and enhanced apoptosis. This study demonstrates that nab-paclitaxel had stronger antiproliferative and antitumor activity in experimental EAC than the current standard chemotherapeutic agents which supports the rationale for its clinical use in EAC. 相似文献

The initial response rates of advanced-stage epithelial ovarian cancer to the chemotherapeutic agents carboplatin and paclitaxel
are high. However, once drug resistance develops, further chemotherapy is less effective. The objective of this study is to
investigate the anti-proliferative activity of the phyto-active chemicals (PACs) oridonin and wogonin in chemo-resistant epithelial
ovarian cancer cells. Primary cell cultures from the ascitic fluid of three patients at diagnosis, two patients chemo-resistant
to carboplatin and paclitaxel, and one patient treated with letrozole for breast cancer were studied and compared to the ovarian
cancer cell lines A2780 and PTX10, by cell viability assay (MTS). Effects on cell cycle modulation and apoptosis were examined
by flow cytometry and Western blot analysis (WB). WB was further conducted to investigate protein expressions altered by PACs.
The results show that IC50 of the primary cultures ranged from 0.6 to 5.4 μg/ml for oridonin and 0.3–12.7 μg/ml for wogonin. The paclitaxel-resistant
cell line PTX10 was more sensitive to each of the PACs than the chemo-sensitive cell line A2780. Of particular interest is
that in combination, the two PACs were synergistic in their cytotoxicity to five of six of the primary cultures and to both
the cell lines (combination indices of 0.39–0.95). The inhibition is attributable to apoptosis and cell cycle modulation induced
by the PACs as demonstrated in A2780 and PTX10. Up-regulation of the functional p53 protein in A2780 and down-regulation of
Akt protein in PTX10 have in part contributed to the apoptosis. These findings suggest that oridonin and wogonin may have
activity in ovarian cancer following its development of resistance to carboplatin and paclitaxel. 相似文献

Despite advances in radical surgery and chemotherapy delivery, ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecologic malignancy. Standard therapy includes treatment with platinum-based combination chemotherapies yet there is no biomarker model to predict their responses to these agents. We here have developed and independently tested our multi-gene molecular predictors for forecasting patients' responses to individual drugs on a cohort of 55 ovarian cancer patients. To independently validate these molecular predictors, we performed microarray profiling on FFPE tumor samples of 55 ovarian cancer patients (UVA-55) treated with platinum-based adjuvant chemotherapy. Genome-wide chemosensitivity biomarkers were initially discovered from the in vitro drug activities and genomic expression data for carboplatin and paclitaxel, respectively. Multivariate predictors were trained with the cell line data and then evaluated with a historical patient cohort. For the UVA-55 cohort, the carboplatin, taxol, and combination predictors significantly stratified responder patients and non-responder patients (p = 0.019, 0.04, 0.014) with sensitivity = 91%, 96%, 93 and NPV = 57%, 67%, 67% in pathologic clinical response. The combination predictor also demonstrated a significant survival difference between predicted responders and non-responders with a median survival of 55.4 months vs. 32.1 months. Thus, COXEN single- and combination-drug predictors successfully stratified platinum resistance and taxane response in an independent cohort of ovarian cancer patients based on their FFPE tumor samples. 相似文献

Due to the lack of definitive hormone receptors, triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients receive little clinical benefit from endocrine or molecular targeted therapies, leading to a highly aggressive disease with a high recurrence rate and poor prognosis. In the past decades, chemotherapy has been the mainstay of treatment for TNBC, with taxane/anthracyclines as the representative regimen. However, increasing irreversible cardiotoxicity of anthracyclines and drug-resistance had to be noticed. Gradually, platinum-based chemotherapy has become a topic of interest for researchers. Based on the accumulating studies on platinum-containing regimens for TNBC patients, we will summarize the progress of relevant clinical trials focusing on platinum monotherapy (e.g., cisplatin, carboplatin and oxaliplatin) or in combination with other therapeutic modalities (e.g., other chemotherapeutic agents, molecular targeted therapies and immunotherapy). To further evaluate patient response to platinum and screen for the optimal population to benefit from platinum, we will also analyze current potential biomarkers, such as breast cancer susceptibility genes (BRCA1/2), homologous recombination repair deficiency (HRD), tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), TP53 family and other emerging indicators (e.g., intrinsic subtype, cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) expression, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9)). 相似文献

Platinum-based chemotherapy is the standard treatment for advanced non-small-cell lung carcinomas (NSCLCs). However, the antitumoral effect of carboplatin displays unsatisfactory in NSCLCs treatment due to the AKT pathway-mediated carboplatin insensitive in NSCLCs treatment. Previous studies have shown that statins have antitumor activity, but it is unknown whether atorvastatin can reverse carboplatin resistance in lung cancer. Treatment with atorvastatin and carboplatin reduced the growth of xenograft A549 tumors in nude mice and enhanced the survival rate compared with carboplatin alone. Atorvastatin in combination with carboplatin had stronger effects on growth inhibition and apoptosis of NSCLC than either agent used individually. Carboplatin conferred anti-invasive effect in NSCLC cells mainly through inhibition of AKT activity and resultant upregulation of TIMP-1. However, the inhibitory effect on AKT activity by carboplatin was short-term. Additional atorvastatin administration resulted in synergistic inhibition of NSCLC cell invasion and stimulation of TIMP-1 expression with carboplatin through stronger and persistent inhibition of AKT activity both in vivo and in vitro. The synergy of atorvastatin and carboplatin was confirmed using another human lung carcinoma cell line (H1299). Altogether, our data demonstrate that atorvastatin may overcome carboplatin resistance in lung cancer by suppressing AKT activity and upregulating TIMP-1. A combination of atorvastatin and carboplatin may be an effective strategy in clinical therapy against NSCLCs. 相似文献

In our previous study, we found that inhibition of protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 3 (PTPN3), which is expressed in lymphocytes, enhances lymphocyte activation, suggesting PTPN3 may act as an immune checkpoint molecule. However, PTPN3 is also expressed in various cancers, and the biological significance of PTPN3 in cancer cells is still not well understood, especially for lung neuroendocrine tumor (NET).Therefore, we analyzed the biological significance of PTPN3 in small cell lung cancer and examined the potential for PTPN3 inhibitory treatment as a cancer treatment approach in lung NET including small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and large cell neuroendocrine cancer (LCNEC).Experiments in a mouse xenograft model using allo lymphocytes showed that PTPN3 inhibition in SCLC cells enhanced the anti-tumor effect of PTPN3-suppressed activated lymphocytes. In addition, PTPN3 was associated with increased vascularization, decreased CD8/FOXP3 ratio and cellular immunosuppression in SCLC clinical specimens. Experiments in a mouse xenograft model using autocrine lymphocytes also showed that PTPN3 inhibition in LCNEC cells augmented the anti-tumor effect of PTPN3-suppressed activated lymphocytes. In vitro experiments showed that PTPN3 is involved in the induction of malignant traits such as proliferation, invasion and migration. Signaling from PTPN3 is mediated by MAPK and PI3K signals via tyrosine kinase phosphorylation through CACNA1G calcium channel. Our results show that PTPN3 suppression is associated with lymphocyte activation and cancer suppression in lung NET. These results suggest that PTPN3 suppression could be a new method of cancer treatment and a major step in the development of new cancer immunotherapies. 相似文献

Two tetrahydroquinoline compounds, called DM8 and DM12, from a new series of the cis-2,4-diaryl-r-3-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines, were selected for cytotoxic effects studies on cellular lines of human breast cancer. The synergistic, additive and antagonistic effects in combination of these compounds with anticancer drugs, such as paclitaxel and gemcitabine, were studied. The isobolograms and their analysis demonstrated models of synergism, additivity and antagonism of these tetrahydroquinolines in the presence of paclitaxel and gemcitabine. Results showed that compounds DM8 and DM12 individually induced growth inhibition on breast cancer cell lines MCF-7 and SKBR3, and the addition of paclitaxel and gemcitabine intensified their cytotoxic activity on both cell lines at conc. below 1 μg/mL. During these studies the compound DM12 was identified as new, perspective and safe agent for adjuvant therapy. 相似文献
