A Novel Class of Human ADAM8 Inhibitory Antibodies for Treatment of Triple-Negative Breast Cancer.
Pharmaceutics 2024 April 14
New targeted treatments are urgently needed to improve triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patient survival. Previously, we identified the cell surface protein A Disintegrin And Metalloprotease 8 (ADAM8) as a driver of TNBC tumor growth and spread via its metalloproteinase and disintegrin (MP and DI) domains. In proof-of-concept studies, we demonstrated that a monoclonal antibody (mAb) that simultaneously inhibits both domains represents a promising therapeutic approach. Here, we screened a hybridoma library using a multistep selection strategy, including flow cytometry for Ab binding to native conformation protein and in vitro cell-based functional assays to isolate a novel panel of highly specific human ADAM8 dual MP and DI inhibitory mAbs, called ADPs. The screening of four top candidates for in vivo anti-cancer activity in an orthotopic MDA-MB-231 TNBC model of ADAM8-driven primary growth identified two lead mAbs, ADP2 and ADP13. Flow cytometry, hydrogen/deuterium exchange-mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) and alanine (ALA) scanning mutagenesis revealed that dual MP and DI inhibition was mediated via binding to the DI. Further testing in mice showed ADP2 and ADP13 reduce aggressive TNBC characteristics, including locoregional regrowth and metastasis, and improve survival, demonstrating strong therapeutic potential. The continued development of these mAbs into an ADAM8-targeted therapy could revolutionize TNBC treatment.
