Abstract [en]

Treatment of patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-expressing tumors using the monoclonal antibody trastuzumab increases survival. The Affibody-based peptide nucleic acid (PNA)-mediated pretargeted radionuclide therapy has demonstrated efficacy against HER2-expressing xenografts in mice. Structural studies suggest that Affibody molecules and trastuzumab bind to different epitopes on HER2. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that a combination of PNA-mediated pretargeted radionuclide therapy and trastuzumab treatment of HER2-expressing xenografts can extend survival compared with monotherapies. Methods: Mutual interference of the primary pretargeting probe Z(HER2:342)-SR-HP1 and trastuzumab in binding to HER2-expressing cell lines was investigated in vitro. Experimental therapy evaluated the survival of mice bearing HER2-expressing SKOV-3 xenografts after treatment with vehicle, trastuzumab only, pretargeting using Affibody-PNA chimera Z(HER2:342)-SR-HP1 and complementary probe Lu-177-HP2, and combination of trastuzumab and pretargeting. The ethical permit limited the study to 90 d. The animals'weightsweremonitored during the study. After study termination, samples of liver and kidneys were evaluated by a veterinary pathologist for toxicity signs. Results: The presence of a large molar excess of trastuzumab had no influence on the affinity of Z(HER2:342)-SR-HP1 binding to HER2-expressing cells in vitro. The affinity of trastuzumab was not affected by a large excess of Z(HER2:342)-SR-HP1. Themedian survival of mice treated with trastuzumab (75.5 d) was significantly longer than the survival of mice treated with a vehicle (59.5 d). Median survival of mice treated with pretargeting was not reached by day 90. Six mice of 10 in this group survived, and 2 had complete remission. All mice in the combination treatment group survived, and tumors in 7 mice had disappeared at study termination. There was no significant difference between animal weights in the different treatment groups. No significant pathologic alterations were detected in livers and kidneys of treated animals. Conclusion: Treatment of mice bearing HER2-expressing xenografts with the combination of trastuzumab and Affibody-mediated PNA-based radionuclide pretargeting significantly increased survival compared with monotherapies. Cotreatment was not toxic for normal tissues.

Abstract [en]

Targeted radiotherapy of cancer intends to selectively deliver cytotoxic radionuclides to tumor cells. Affinity proteins of various kinds are explored for this task, and depending on the affinity protein used, different challenges arise. Full-length antibodies are typically associated with long serum half-life, leading to high systemic toxicity, while smaller affinity ligands such as engineered scaffold proteins, antibody fragments or peptides, usually demonstrate high radioactive uptake in kidneys. The smallest affinity ligands furthermore suffer from low therapeutic efficacy due to their fast wash-out, thus demanding frequent administrations of the radio-conjugate to reach a therapeutic effect.  

These issues were addressed in this thesis, where small affinity ligands (an Affibody molecule, a single domain antibody fragment and a peptide) have been explored as targeting agents for the cancer targets HER2, CD38 and GRPR, respectively. The Affibody molecule and the single domain antibody fragment were used in a pretargeting setting where high selective hybridization are used as recognition tags between peptide nucleic acid (PNA) strands on the tumor targeting primary agent and the radiolabelled secondary agent. In papers I and II, different sets of PNA hybridization probes were evaluated, in vitro and in vivo. In paper I, we demonstrate that the shortest tested secondary PNA probe (the 9-mer HP16) had the most favourable biodistribution profile with high tumor uptake along with the lowest kidney uptake. In paper II, we produced a set of shorter primary PNA probes, aiming for simplified production, and new sets of even shorter secondary PNA probes. A secondary 8-mer was identified as suitable for testing in cell assays and in vivo together with HER2-binding Affibody-PNA conjugates with varying length of the primary PNA probe, in order to determine if the smaller hydrodynamic range would further improve the biodistribution properties. In paper III, the Affibody-mediated PNA-based pretargeting strategy was evaluated as a monotherapy and as a co-treatment strategy with trastuzumab, to treat mice bearing HER2-positive tumors. Mice treated with the co-treatment strategy had significantly longer survival compared to other groups. In paper IV, the feasibility of using the PNA pretargeting strategy in combination with another affinity protein (a single domain antibody fragment) was evaluated in a CD38-expressing cell line. In paper V, the GRPR-binding peptide RM26 was conjugated to an albumin-binding domain, with the aim to achieve a high tumor uptake over time. The RM26-ABD conjugate did demonstrate good tumor uptake over time. However, the conjugate also demonstrated high kidney uptake, limiting its use as a therapeutic construct. 

In conclusion, the work presented in this thesis shows strategies for selective tumor targeting of radiopharmaceuticals using affinity proteins and PNA-mediated pretargeting.

Abstract [sv]

Riktad strålbehandling av cancer är ämnad att selektivt leverera cytotoxiska radionuklider till tumörceller. Affinitetsproteiner av olika slag utforskas för detta ändamål, och olika utmaningar uppstår beroende på vilket affinitetsprotein som används. Fullängdsantikroppar har lång halveringstid i blod, vilket leder till hög systemisk toxicitet, medan mindre affinitetsligander, såsom antikroppsfragment eller peptider, vanligtvis uppvisar högt radioaktivt upptag i njurarna. Vid användande av små affinitetsligander för riktad strålbehandling finns dessutom problem med låg terapeutisk effekt då de försvinner snabbt ur cirkulationen. För att uppnå en klinisk terapeutisk effekt med dessa små radioinmärkta affinitetsligander krävs ofta upprepade och frekventa administreringar.

Problemen med högt njurupptag och låg terapeutisk effektivitet för radioinmärkta små affinitetsproteiner är något som adresseras i denna avhandling. Små affinitetsproteiner (en Affibody-molekyl, ett en-domäns-antikroppsfragment och en peptid) har studerats med avsikten att använda dem för riktad strålbehandling mot de cancerassocierade proteinerna HER2, CD38 och GRPR. Affibody-molekylen och en-domän-antikroppsfragmentet användes i pre-targeting, där selektiv hybridisering mellan två peptidnukleinsyre (PNA)-prober användes som igenkänningsmärken på den tumörsökande primära molekylen och den radioinmärkta sekundära molekylen. I artikel I och II utvärderades uppsättningar av PNA-hybridiseringsprober, in vitro och in vivo. I artikel I visar vi att den kortaste testade sekundära PNA-proben (9-meren HP16) gav den bästa biodistributionsprofilen med en kombination av högt tumörupptag och det lägsta njurupptaget. I artikel II producerade vi dels en uppsättning kortare primära PNA-prober, med avsikten att förenkla dess produktion, samt nya uppsättningar av ännu kortare sekundära PNA-prober. En sekundär 8-mer identifierades som lämplig att testa i cellförsök och in vivo tillsammans med HER2-bindande Affibody-PNA-konjugat med varierande längd av den primära PNA-proben, för att avgöra om detta skulle förbättra biodistributionen ytterligare. I artikel III utvärderades den Affibody-medierade PNA-pretargeting-strategin som enskild terapi och som en kombinerad behandling tillsammans med trastuzumab, för att behandla möss med HER2-positiva tumörer. Möss som behandlats med kombinationsbehandlingen hade signifikant längre överlevnad jämfört med andra grupper. I artikel IV utvärderades möjligheten att använda PNA-pretargeting-strategin i kombination med ett annat affinitetsprotein (en-domän-antikroppsfragment) på en CD38-uttryckande cellinje. I artikel V konjugerades den GRPR-bindande peptiden RM26 till ett albuminbindande protein, med målet att uppnå ett högt tumörupptag över tid. RM26-ABD-konjugatet visade bra tumörupptag över tid, men också högt njurupptag, vilket i nuläget begränsar dess användning i en terapeutisk tillämpning.

Sammanfattningsvis visar arbetet som presenteras i denna avhandling strategier för selektiv strålningsterapi av tumörer med användning av affinitetsproteiner och PNA-medierad pretargeting.
