| Abstract: | ADAM17 sheds EGFR/erbB ligands and triggers oncogenic pathways that lead to the progression of solid tumors. We targeted the ADAM17 disintegrin and cysteine rich domain region (D+C) to generate a panel of single-chain antibody fragments (scFvs) that selectively bind to the D or C domains of ADAM17, but not of ADAM10 or ADAM19. From the panel, we selected one scFv, referred to as C12, based on its high binding affinity towards the target, and re-formatted it to a full IgG for further studies. High-resolution cryo-electron microscopy studies documented that the mAb binds to the ADAM17 C-domain that in ADAM proteases, notably ADAM10 and ADAM17, is known to impart substrate-specificity. The C12 mAb significantly inhibited EGFR phosphorylation in cancer cell lines by hindering the cleavage of EGFR ligands tethered to the cell surface. This inhibition provides a mechanism for potential anti-tumor effects, and indeed C12 diminished the viability of a variety of EGFR-expressing cancer cell lines. Cell-based ELISA studies revealed that C12 preferentially bound to activated ADAM17 present on tumor cells, as compared to the autoinhibited ADAM17 that is the predominant form on HEK293 and other non-tumor cells. C12 also exhibited tumor growth inhibition in an ovarian cancer xenograft mouse model. Consistent with its selective tumor cell binding in vitro, radioimmuno PET (positron emission tomography) imaging with 89Zr-DFO-C12 in mouse xenograft models confirmed tumoral accumulation of the C12 mAb. © 2024 |
