Title Epigenetic modulation enhances the therapeutic effect of anti-IL-13R(alpha)2 antibody in human mesothelioma xenografts.
Journal Clin Cancer Res
Abstract PURPOSE:The interleukin-13 receptor α2 (IL-13Rα2) is expressed by a variety of human malignant cells. Here, we have examined the constitutive surface expression and the epigenetic regulation of IL-13Rα2 by human mesothelioma. We have also investigated the therapeutic effect of the DNA methylation inhibitor 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine (5-aza-dC) and anti-IL-13Rα2 monoclonal antibody on mesothelioma xenografts.
EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN:Cell surface expression of IL-13Rα2 by various lung carcinomas was analyzed using flow cytometry. Therapeutic effects of anti-IL-13Rα2 and 5-aza-dC were investigated using antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity and proliferation assays and by monitoring the survival of mesothelioma-bearing mice.
RESULTS:We found that human malignant mesotheliomas expressed surface IL-13Rα2 on their surface and that it was upregulated by treatment with 5-aza-dC. This augmented expression of IL-13Rα2 resulted in growth inhibition of the mesothelioma cells when cocultured with anti-IL-13Rα2 and effector cells, such as splenocytes and peritoneal exudate cells. The growth inhibition of mesothelioma cells was mediated by IFN-γ that was only detected in the supernatant when effector cells were exposed to 5-aza-dC-treated tumors in the presence of anti-IL-13Rα2. Compared with the control or either regimen alone, in vivo administration of anti-IL-13Rα2 in combination with 5-aza-dC significantly prolonged the survival of mice with mesothelioma xenografts.
CONCLUSIONS:These observations indicate a promising role for IL-13Rα2 as a target for antibody treatment in malignant mesothelioma, and, in combination with epigenetic regulation by a DNA methylation inhibitor, suggest the potential for a novel strategy to enhance therapeutic potency.
