This report presents the <em>in vitro</em> and <em>in vivo</em> efficacy of an antibody–drug conjugate (ADC) that targets glypican-1 (GPC1) in glioblastoma. The GPC1-ADC was created by conjugating a humanized anti-GPC1 antibody (clone T2) with monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) <em>via</em> maleimidocaproyl-valine-citrulline-p-aminobenzyloxycarbonyl linkers. Immunohistochemical staining analysis of a glioblastoma tissue microarray revealed that GPC1 expression was elevated in more than half of the cases. GPC1-ADC, when bound to GPC1, was efficiently and rapidly internalized in glioblastoma cell lines. It inhibited the growth of GPC1-positive glioma cell lines by inducing cell cycle arrest in the G2/M phase and triggering apoptosis <em>in vitro</em>. We established a heterotopic xenograft model by subcutaneously implanting KALS-1 and administered GPC1-ADC intravenously. GPC1-ADC significantly inhibited tumor growth and increased the number of mitotic cells. We also established an orthotopic xenograft model by intracranially implanting luciferase-transfected KS-1-Luc#19.

We administered GPC1-ADC intravenously and measured the luciferase activity using an <em>in vivo</em> imaging system. GPC1-ADC significantly inhibited tumor growth and extended survival.
