Anti-EGFR antibody immunotoxins improve cytotoxic effects in the salivary gland cancer A253 cell line
Objective
Salivary gland cancers account for a relatively small proportion, accounting for 3–5 %, among head and neck cancers. The range of antibody drugs available for head and neck cancers, including salivary gland cancers, has been expanding in recent years. However, reports indicated insufficient clinical efficacy despite high target expression. Our research has been investigating methods to improve the cytotoxic effects of antibody drugs in head and neck cancers, using immunotoxins (ITs), which are antibodies conjugated with toxins. Our studies on squamous cell carcinoma, which constitutes the majority of head and neck cancers, indicated that promoting endosomal escape of ITs improves their cytotoxic effects. Therefore, the current study aimed to confirm the antitumor effects of IT-Cetuximab (Cmab), which is cetuximab conjugated with a toxin, targeting salivary gland cancers—a type of cancer with limited effective treatment options aside from surgery.
Methods
We confirmed protein and mRNA expression of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in the human salivary duct carcinoma cell line, A253. We analyzed the cytotoxicity of saporin-conjugated anti-EGFR antibody (IT-Cmab).
Results
EGFR expression in A253 was comparably higher than in epidermoid carcinoma cell line A431 which highly expresses EGFR. Cmab alone exhibited no cytotoxic effects, but IT-Cmab demonstrated concentration-dependent cytotoxic effects in A253. We revealed the promising cytotoxic effects of IT-Cmab in salivary gland cancer cells.
Conclusion
We first demonstrate the cytotoxic effects of IT in salivary gland cancers in vitro. The IT we used, cetuximab toxin conjugated antibody may be a remarkable treatment option for salivary gland cancers.
