Definitions
- the present invention relates to compositions comprising an anti-cancer agent and an antibody recognizing the specific O-acetylated form of GD2 ganglioside (namely OAcGD2 ganglioside) that enhances the uptake of said anti-cancer agent by cancer cells, and their uses in methods of treating, preventing and/or managing specific cancers characterized by cells expressing the OAcGD2 ganglioside.
- Biochemical properties of the anti-cancer agents rely on their molecular weight, on the environmental pH and also on their lipophilic versus hydrophilic profile.
- anti-cancer agents are ionizable in aqueous medium, the acidic extracellular pH in tumor cells differentially modulates the activity of weakly basic or acid anti-cancer agents (MAHONEY et al., Biochemical Pharmacology, vol. 66, p: 1207-1218, 2003).
- weakly basic or acid anti-cancer agents MAHONEY et al., Biochemical Pharmacology, vol. 66, p: 1207-1218, 2003.
- most anti-cancer agents are present as both the non-ionized and ionized forms.
- Non-ionized anti-cancer agents are usually more lipid-soluble and can diffuse readily across the cell membrane.
- ionized anti-cancer agents have low lipid solubility and are unable to penetrate the lipid membrane without parasitizing a transporter normally used for physiological substrates. This ion trapping mechanism can then alter drug accumulation, then significantly modulating chemotherapy efficiency.
- anti-cancer agents may cause serious side effects such as heart or nerve damage, or even more dramatically, can increase the risk of a second cancer a few years after the drugs are given.
- This drawback can be attenuated by doing chemical modifications on oligonucleotides structure and/or by using delivery systems including viral vectors, biocompatible cationic polymers and copolymers, inorganic nanoparticles, atelocollagen and liposomes.

- the antibodies recognizing the OAcGD2 ganglioside and having simultaneously multimerization properties e.g. the 8B6 IgG3 antibody having aggregation properties and a chimerized 8B6 antibody comprising a chimerized IgG1 constant region having multimerization properties (i.e. hexamer formation)
- an antibody having no such multimerization properties e.g. a chimerized 8B6
- multimeric antibody may refer to a dimer, a trimer, a quadrimer, . . . or to an aggregate.
- cell membrane cytoplasmic membrane
- outer cell membrane cytoplasmic membrane
- plasma membrane are equivalent and can be used indifferently.
- delivery of an anti-cancer agent into a cell refers to the release of the anti-cancer agent inside a cell, so that the anti-cancer agent can reach its intracellular target.
- the cell expressing the OAcGD2 ganglioside is a tumor cell, a cancer cell, a cancer stem cell, or a hyperproliferative cell having the OAcGD2 ganglioside anchored to the cell membrane.
- cancer stem cells has its general meaning in the art and refers to a subpopulation of cancer cells (found within solid tumors and hematological cancers) that possess characteristics associated with normal stem cells, specifically the ability to give rise to all cell types found in a particular cancer sample. They have the capacity for self-renewal, differentiation into multiple cancer cell lineages and extensive proliferation. They can initiate new tumor with only a small amount of cancer stem cells and tend to be resistant to conventional therapy including chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
- Cancer stem cells have been identified in very different types of cancers, including, but not limited to, leukemia including acute myeloid leukemia and acute lymphoid leukemia, breast cancer, glioma including glioblastoma, colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer, liver cancer, bladder cancer or gastric cancer.
- leukemia including acute myeloid leukemia and acute lymphoid leukemia
- breast cancer glioma including glioblastoma
- colorectal cancer pancreatic cancer
- prostate cancer lung cancer
- liver cancer bladder cancer or gastric cancer.
- Different markers have been observed as identifying cancer stem cells among the bulk of cancer cells, such markers varying and depending on the type of cancer.
- markers that can be used to identify cancer stem cells comprise, but are not limited to, CD34, CD38, CD19, interleukin-3-receptor a (CD123), CD33, CD44, CD44v6, CD47, CD24, EpCAM (ESA), Lin, CD133, A2B5, SSEA-1, CD166, CD26, CD200, ⁇ 2 ⁇ 1, Sca, CD45, Pecam, ALDH, ALDH1, Oct4, ABCG2, CXCR4, AFP, EMA, IGF-IR.
- the uptake of an anti-cancer agent by a cell refers to the contact and internalization/penetration of an anti-cancer agent into a target cell, such as a tumor cell, a cancer cell, a cancer stem cell, or a hyperproliferative cell. It is now well established that the crossing of the cell membrane is the first limiting step for an anti-cancer agent to reach its intracellular target.
- defects refers to local cell membrane perturbation that causes cell transient deformation leading to an increase in cell membrane permeability.
- local invagination or evagination of the cell membrane can result from the binding of at least one antibody recognizing the OAcGD2 ganglioside, a functional fragment or a derivative thereof, to a cell expressing the OAcGD2 ganglioside.
- transient increase in the cell membrane permeability of a cell expressing the OAcGD2 ganglioside occurs only in the presence of at least one antibody recognizing the OAcGD2 ganglioside, a functional fragment or a derivative thereof.
- the defects can be transient so that the cell membrane can retract back to its original conformation.
- pore formation refers to a physical modification or disruption of the glycerophospholipid bilayer leading to the formation of holes within the cell membrane. This leads to transient increase in the permeability of cell membranes and may also play a role in endocytosis of extracellular molecules.
- the pore formation allows the entry of a molecule from the extracellular compartment to the intracellular compartment.
- the number and the diameter of the pores depend on several parameters such as cell type, cell membrane composition, quantity and duration of the antibody contacting the cell.
- the pore size determines the size of agents that can be delivered into the cytoplasm of the cell using the method of the invention. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) can be used to gauge pore size (ZHAO et al, Journal of Drug Targeting, 16:1, 18-25, 2008).
- the mean diameter of the membrane pore is between about 1 nm to about 100 nm, preferably between about 1 nm to about 50 nm, and most preferably between about 1 nm to about 10 nm.
- Lipid bilayer cell membranes are 4-10 nm thick. Hence, the mean diameter of the pore can be, in some cases, largely superior to cell membrane thickness.
- the antibody recognizing the OAcGD2 ganglioside, a functional fragment or a derivative thereof creates on the cell membrane non-selective pores.
- non-selective pore is intended pore allowing uncharged or charged molecules, such as ionized anti-cancer agent to diffuse through the phospholipid bilayer of the cell membrane.
- the pore size is a relevant criterion for the selection of uncharged or charged compounds that cross the cell membrane.
- the antibody recognizing the OAcGD2 ganglioside, a functional fragment or a derivative thereof has the capability of inducing cell penetration of an anti-cancer agent within part or all cells of a given cell culture population by causing pore within the cell membrane.
- cell penetration is intended the passing of an anti-cancer agent from the external environment in the intracellular environment in conditions significantly better than passive diffusion.
- This discovery provides an entirely new approach to treating cancer expressing OAcGD2 ganglioside.
- the antibody recognizing the OAcGD2 ganglioside, a functional fragment or a derivative thereof greatly enhance the permeability of cancer cells to anti-cancer agents. This may result not only to an increase of their therapeutic affect but also to a reduction of their related potential side effects.
- a method for in vitro and/or ex vivo delivery of an anti-cancer agent into a cell, preferably a tumor cell, expressing the OAcGD2 ganglioside is suitable for the screening of synergistic combinations of anti-cancer agents and antibodies recognizing the OAcGD2 ganglioside, a functional fragment or a derivative thereof.

- USNPs ultrasmall inorganic particles
- Gold USNPs have a core size ranging from 1 to 3 nm.
- the apparent size of the dynamic, hydrated, solvated anti-cancer agent can thus be determined using the diffusional properties of the anti-cancer agent.
- Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) is considered as the best technique to calculate the hydrodynamic radius (Rh) which is defined as the radius of an equivalent hard sphere diffusing at the same rate as the molecule under observation.
- Rh is indicative of the apparent size of the dynamic hydrated/solvated molecule. Rh is generally calculated from the diffusion coefficient using the Stokes-Einstein equation.
- Radius of gyration (Rg) defined as the mass weighted average distance from the core of a molecule to each mass element in the molecule, is another parameter allowing the determination of the size of molecule.

Abstract
Description
- This application is a Divisional of application Ser. No. 16/466,769, filed on Jun. 5, 2019, now U.S. Pat. No. 11,697,689, which is the National Phase under 35 U.S.C. § 371 of International Application No. PCT/EP2017/001406, filed on Dec. 5, 2017, which claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. § 119(a) to patent application Ser. No. 16/002,576.3, filed in Europe on Dec. 5, 2016, all of which are hereby expressly incorporated by reference into the present application.
- The contents of the electronic sequence listing (7238-0213_Sequence_Listing.xml; Size: 138,958 bytes; and Date of Creation: Sep. 6, 2023) is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.
- The present invention relates to compositions comprising an anti-cancer agent and an antibody recognizing the specific O-acetylated form of GD2 ganglioside (namely OAcGD2 ganglioside) that enhances the uptake of said anti-cancer agent by cancer cells, and their uses in methods of treating, preventing and/or managing specific cancers characterized by cells expressing the OAcGD2 ganglioside.
- Delivery of anti-cancer agents to cells is a central aspect of therapeutic approaches against cancer. Biochemical properties of the anti-cancer agents rely on their molecular weight, on the environmental pH and also on their lipophilic versus hydrophilic profile.
- The crossing of the cell membrane which is negatively charged is the first step for delivering anti-cancer agents to cells. It is now well established that a pH gradient occurs in animal tumors. Since anti-cancer agents are ionizable in aqueous medium, the acidic extracellular pH in tumor cells differentially modulates the activity of weakly basic or acid anti-cancer agents (MAHONEY et al., Biochemical Pharmacology, vol. 66, p: 1207-1218, 2003). In solution, most anti-cancer agents are present as both the non-ionized and ionized forms. Non-ionized anti-cancer agents are usually more lipid-soluble and can diffuse readily across the cell membrane. By contrast, ionized anti-cancer agents have low lipid solubility and are unable to penetrate the lipid membrane without parasitizing a transporter normally used for physiological substrates. This ion trapping mechanism can then alter drug accumulation, then significantly modulating chemotherapy efficiency.
- Ability to overcome the biological barriers that face transferring an anti-cancer agent into cancer cells and tumors has to be balanced with the extent of toxicity. Among conventional anti-cancer agents, alkylating agents, antimetabolites or anti-tumor antibiotics directly damage or interfere with DNA or RNA to keep cancer cells from growing and multiplying. Other drugs, such as topoisomerase inhibitors or mitotic inhibitors, specifically target enzymes involve in cell cycle. Differentiating agents or hormones are also used either to make cancer cells mature into normal cells or to slow the growth of cancer. Almost all anti-cancer agents are toxic, and chemotherapy causes significant and often dangerous side effects including severe nausea, bone marrow depression, and immunosuppression.
- Additionally, exposure to conventional anti-cancer agents may lead to chemotherapy failure and tumor progression, even with administration of combinations of anti-cancer agents. This phenomenon is often due to pre-existing precursor cells or newly emerging drug-resistant clones. Moreover, anti-cancer agents may cause serious side effects such as heart or nerve damage, or even more dramatically, can increase the risk of a second cancer a few years after the drugs are given.
- More recently, the ability of RNA interference to silence target genes with high efficiency and specificity was used to develop drugs targeting RNA in human cells (BARATA et al., Cancer Treatment Reviews, vol. 50, p: 35-47, 2016). RNA-based therapies developed for cancer treatment rely on the use of double-stranded synthetic short RNA molecules (miRNAs) or synthetic DNA/RNA-like oligonucleotides (ASOs). The transfer of these molecules through the cell membrane of cancer cells is quite problematic due to their negative charge. This drawback can be attenuated by doing chemical modifications on oligonucleotides structure and/or by using delivery systems including viral vectors, biocompatible cationic polymers and copolymers, inorganic nanoparticles, atelocollagen and liposomes. However, these delivery systems influence pharmacokinetic processes of miRNA-based therapeutics and can also have toxicity. Moreover, delivery systems often require parameter optimization for every cell type.
- Thus, new compositions and methods are needed to overcome the drawbacks of the drugs uptake in cancer cells and tumors to improve their therapeutic potential and also to reduce their side effects such as toxicity.
- The inventors have previously demonstrated that a mouse therapeutic antibody targeting specifically the O-acetylated form of GD2 ganglioside (namely OAcGD2 ganglioside) show beneficial effects in treating cancers expressing the OAcGD2 ganglioside (EP 2076542 B1).
- The inventors have now surprisingly found that this antibody, in addition to its own anti-cancer activity, is effective for treating cancer when used as an adjuvant for another anti-cancer agent. They have more particularly shown a synergistic effect on cancers expressing the OAcGD2 ganglioside of the combined treatment of an antibody targeting specifically the OAcGD2 ganglioside and of different anti-cancer agents, making it possible to reduce the dosage, and hence the toxic side effects, of the anti-cancer agents.
- Consequently, the present invention relates to a composition for delivery of an anti-cancer agent into a cell expressing the OAcGD2 ganglioside comprising: (i) at least one anti-cancer agent, and (ii) at least one antibody recognizing the OAcGD2 ganglioside, a functional fragment or a derivative thereof, wherein the at least one antibody recognizing the OAcGD2 ganglioside favors the uptake of the at least one anti-cancer agent by the cell, and in turn its activity.

Mice (n=10/group) were inoculated with 2.5×105 NXS2 mouse neuroblastoma cells by i.v. injections. 8B6 mAb treatment was started on day 3 after tumor cell inoculation twice a week for 3 consecutive weeks (cumulative dose=150 μg, A-C). All chemotherapeutic treatments were started atday 10 post-tumor inoculation. Panel A: isotretinoin was given at 10 mg/kg, per os, five times weekly for 2 weeks. Panel B: topotecan was given by i.p. injections at 0.36 mg/kg five times weekly for 1 week. Panel C: doxorubicin was given by i.p. injections at 1 mg/kg five times weekly for 2 weeks. Mice were euthanized 28 days post-tumor inoculation. Anti-tumor efficacy was evaluated by determining the liver weight on the fresh specimen compared to the mice treated with vehicle only. The liver weight is indicative of hepatic metastasis number. The y-axis starts at 0.8 g corresponding to the average normal liver weight. Data are presented as the mean±SEM. -

FIG. 7 : Anti-OAcGD2 mAb 8B6 overcomes tumor resistance in patient-derived TMZ-refractory GBM-10 cells (GBM-10 TMZ®) in in vivo glioblastoma xenograft mouse model. 1×106 GBM-10 cells were injected subcutaneously in mice atday 0. Mice were then divided in two groups: the first group of mice received Temozolomide (TMZ) by i.p. injection in a single dose of 0.05 mg/mouse on days 12, 22 and 32 whereas the second group of mice was left untreated. Tumor volume (Panel A) was monitored. OAcGD2 expression was assessed in GBM-10 cells isolated from both TMZ treated mice and untreated mice (Panel B). TMZ refractory level was next determined by limiting dilution assay and expressed as glioblastoma cancer stem cells (GSC) frequency in the tumor xenograft. Effects of monotherapy (8B6 or TMZ) and two-agent combination (TMZ+8B6) on GSC survival were compared in the GBM-10 cells isolated from untreated (Panel C, GBM-10 CTL (TMZs)) and relapse GBM-10 xenografts (Panel D, GBM-10 TMZ®). - In a first aspect, the present invention relates to a method for delivery of an anti-cancer agent into a cell expressing the OAcGD2 ganglioside comprising contacting the cell with at least one antibody recognizing the OAcGD2 ganglioside, a functional fragment or a derivative thereof, in an amount and concentration effective to enhance uptake of the anti-cancer agent by the cell, wherein the antibody causes defects, such as pore formation, within the cell membrane.
- Preferably, said at least one antibody recognizing the OAcGD2 ganglioside is a multimeric antibody.
- In fact, the inventors have established that the antibodies recognizing the OAcGD2 ganglioside and having simultaneously multimerization properties (e.g. the 8B6 IgG3 antibody having aggregation properties and a chimerized 8B6 antibody comprising a chimerized IgG1 constant region having multimerization properties (i.e. hexamer formation)) induce penetration of an anti-cancer agent, whereas an antibody having no such multimerization properties (e.g. a chimerized 8B6 antibody comprising IgG1 constant region) has no effect on such penetration. Accordingly, it seems that both OAcGD2 ganglioside binding and multimerization properties are necessary for pores formation in the cell membrane of cells expressing OAcGD2 ganglioside. As used herein, the term “multimeric antibody” may refer to a dimer, a trimer, a quadrimer, . . . or to an aggregate.
- For the purpose of the present invention, the terms cell membrane, cytoplasmic membrane, outer cell membrane and plasma membrane are equivalent and can be used indifferently.
- The term “delivery of an anti-cancer agent into a cell” refers to the release of the anti-cancer agent inside a cell, so that the anti-cancer agent can reach its intracellular target.
- According to a preferred embodiment, the cell expressing the OAcGD2 ganglioside is a tumor cell, a cancer cell, a cancer stem cell, or a hyperproliferative cell having the OAcGD2 ganglioside anchored to the cell membrane. The term “cancer stem cells” has its general meaning in the art and refers to a subpopulation of cancer cells (found within solid tumors and hematological cancers) that possess characteristics associated with normal stem cells, specifically the ability to give rise to all cell types found in a particular cancer sample. They have the capacity for self-renewal, differentiation into multiple cancer cell lineages and extensive proliferation. They can initiate new tumor with only a small amount of cancer stem cells and tend to be resistant to conventional therapy including chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Cancer stem cells have been identified in very different types of cancers, including, but not limited to, leukemia including acute myeloid leukemia and acute lymphoid leukemia, breast cancer, glioma including glioblastoma, colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer, liver cancer, bladder cancer or gastric cancer. Different markers have been observed as identifying cancer stem cells among the bulk of cancer cells, such markers varying and depending on the type of cancer. Examples of markers that can be used to identify cancer stem cells comprise, but are not limited to, CD34, CD38, CD19, interleukin-3-receptor a (CD123), CD33, CD44, CD44v6, CD47, CD24, EpCAM (ESA), Lin, CD133, A2B5, SSEA-1, CD166, CD26, CD200, α2β1, Sca, CD45, Pecam, ALDH, ALDH1, Oct4, ABCG2, CXCR4, AFP, EMA, IGF-IR.
- The term “the uptake of an anti-cancer agent by a cell” refers to the contact and internalization/penetration of an anti-cancer agent into a target cell, such as a tumor cell, a cancer cell, a cancer stem cell, or a hyperproliferative cell. It is now well established that the crossing of the cell membrane is the first limiting step for an anti-cancer agent to reach its intracellular target.
- The term “defects” refers to local cell membrane perturbation that causes cell transient deformation leading to an increase in cell membrane permeability. For example, local invagination or evagination of the cell membrane can result from the binding of at least one antibody recognizing the OAcGD2 ganglioside, a functional fragment or a derivative thereof, to a cell expressing the OAcGD2 ganglioside. In other words, transient increase in the cell membrane permeability of a cell expressing the OAcGD2 ganglioside occurs only in the presence of at least one antibody recognizing the OAcGD2 ganglioside, a functional fragment or a derivative thereof. The defects can be transient so that the cell membrane can retract back to its original conformation.
- The term “pore formation” refers to a physical modification or disruption of the glycerophospholipid bilayer leading to the formation of holes within the cell membrane. This leads to transient increase in the permeability of cell membranes and may also play a role in endocytosis of extracellular molecules. The pore formation allows the entry of a molecule from the extracellular compartment to the intracellular compartment. The number and the diameter of the pores depend on several parameters such as cell type, cell membrane composition, quantity and duration of the antibody contacting the cell. The pore size determines the size of agents that can be delivered into the cytoplasm of the cell using the method of the invention. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) can be used to gauge pore size (ZHAO et al, Journal of Drug Targeting, 16:1, 18-25, 2008).
- According to a preferred embodiment, the mean diameter of the membrane pore is between about 1 nm to about 100 nm, preferably between about 1 nm to about 50 nm, and most preferably between about 1 nm to about 10 nm.
- Lipid bilayer cell membranes are 4-10 nm thick. Hence, the mean diameter of the pore can be, in some cases, largely superior to cell membrane thickness.
- In all embodiments, the antibody recognizing the OAcGD2 ganglioside, a functional fragment or a derivative thereof, creates on the cell membrane non-selective pores. By “non-selective pore” is intended pore allowing uncharged or charged molecules, such as ionized anti-cancer agent to diffuse through the phospholipid bilayer of the cell membrane. The pore size is a relevant criterion for the selection of uncharged or charged compounds that cross the cell membrane.
- When brought into contact with a cell expressing the OAcGD2 ganglioside under appropriate conditions, the antibody recognizing the OAcGD2 ganglioside, a functional fragment or a derivative thereof, has the capability of inducing cell penetration of an anti-cancer agent within part or all cells of a given cell culture population by causing pore within the cell membrane. By “cell penetration” is intended the passing of an anti-cancer agent from the external environment in the intracellular environment in conditions significantly better than passive diffusion.
- This discovery provides an entirely new approach to treating cancer expressing OAcGD2 ganglioside. By performing non-selective pores in cancer cells, the antibody recognizing the OAcGD2 ganglioside, a functional fragment or a derivative thereof, greatly enhance the permeability of cancer cells to anti-cancer agents. This may result not only to an increase of their therapeutic affect but also to a reduction of their related potential side effects.
- When employed in vitro and/or ex vivo, the method of the invention is implemented for drug screening purposes. Hence, a method for in vitro and/or ex vivo delivery of an anti-cancer agent into a cell, preferably a tumor cell, expressing the OAcGD2 ganglioside is suitable for the screening of synergistic combinations of anti-cancer agents and antibodies recognizing the OAcGD2 ganglioside, a functional fragment or a derivative thereof.
- Thus, the present invention also relates to a composition for delivery of an anti-cancer agent into a cell, preferably a tumor cell, expressing the OAcGD2 ganglioside comprising: (i) at least one anti-cancer agent, (ii) at least one antibody recognizing the OAcGD2 ganglioside, a functional fragment or a derivative thereof, wherein the at least one antibody recognizing the OAcGD2 ganglioside enhances the uptake of the at least one anti-cancer agent by the cell, preferably the tumor cell.
- When employed in vivo, the method of the invention is implemented for therapeutic purposes. Hence, a method for in vivo delivery of an anti-cancer agent into a cell, preferably a tumor cell, expressing the OAcGD2 ganglioside is suitable for the treatment of cancer expressing the OAcGD2 ganglioside.
- Thus, the present invention also relates to a composition comprising: (i) at least one anti-cancer agent, (ii) at least one antibody recognizing the OAcGD2 ganglioside, a functional fragment or a derivative thereof, and optionally (iii) a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, for use in a method for the treatment and/or prevention of cancer expressing the OAcGD2 ganglioside.
- The present invention also relates to an antibody recognizing the OAcGD2 ganglioside, a functional fragment or a derivative thereof, for use in the selective delivery into cell expressing the OAcGD2 ganglioside of at least one anti-cancer agent to treat and/or to prevent cancer.
- The present invention also relates to a method of preventing and/or treating cancer expressing the OAcGD2 ganglioside, comprising administering to a patient in need thereof an effective amount of a composition comprising: (i) at least one anti-cancer agent and, (ii) at least one antibody recognizing the OAcGD2 ganglioside, a functional fragment or a derivative thereof, and optionally (iii) a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
- The terms “method for the treatment of cancer expressing the OAcGD2 ganglioside” or “method of treating cancer expressing the OAcGD2 ganglioside” are equivalent and refer to curing, reversing, attenuating, alleviating, minimizing, suppressing or halting the deleterious effects of a cancer expressing the OAcGD2 ganglioside or cancer expressing the OAcGD2 ganglioside progression or attenuating the progression of a cancer expressing the OAcGD2 ganglioside. Preferably, such treatment also leads to the regression of tumor growth or metastasis spread, i.e., the decrease in size of a measurable tumor. Most preferably, such treatment leads to the complete regression of the tumor.
- The term “cancer expressing the OAcGD2 ganglioside” refers to cancer having cells expressing the O-acetylated form of GD2 ganglioside on their surface. Typically, said cells express more than 1,000 OAcGD2 ganglioside molecules on their cell surface, preferably more than 10,000, and more preferably more than 50,000 OAcGD2 ganglioside molecules on their cell surface. Said cancer expressing the OAcGD2 ganglioside are selected from the group comprising or consisting of neuroblastoma, glioma, retinoblastoma, Ewing's family of tumors, sarcoma (i.e. rhabdomyosarcoma, osteosarcoma, leiomyosarcoma, liposarcoma, and fibrosarcoma), small cell lung cancer, breast cancer, melanoma, metastatic renal carcinoma, head and neck cancer and hematological cancers (i.e. leukemia, Hodgkin lymphoma, non Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma). More generally, term “cancer expressing the OAcGD2 ganglioside” refers to cancer presenting more than 10% of cells expressing he OAcGD2 ganglioside, preferably more than 15%, and still more preferably more than 20%. Preferably, said cells are Cancer Stem Cells (CSCs). Treatment” of cancer expressing the OAcGD2 ganglioside refers to the administration of the composition comprising: (i) at least one anti-cancer agent, (ii) at least one antibody recognizing the OAcGD2 ganglioside, a functional fragment or a derivative thereof, and optionally (iii) a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier to destroy the tumor or to destroy cancer cells expressing the OAcGD2 ganglioside on their surface.
- “Prevention” of cancer expressing the OAcGD2 ganglioside refers to the administration of the composition comprising: (i) at least one anti-cancer agent, (ii) at least one antibody recognizing the OAcGD2 ganglioside, a functional fragment or a derivative thereof, and optionally (iii) a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier to reduce tumor growth or to imped metastasis spread or even to block tumor returning. Preferably, an outcome of prevention may be preventing metastasis spread from occurring if the treatment is administered prior to the relapse in a subject already suffering from a cancer expressing the OAcGD2 ganglioside. Most preferably, another outcome of prevention may be preventing the tumor return in a subject having already being treated for a cancer expressing the OAcGD2 ganglioside.
- As used herein, the term “patient” refers to any mammals, including humans. It is not intended that the term be limited to a particular age or sex. Thus, adult and newborn subjects, as well as children, whether male or female, are encompassed by the term.
- The term “anti-cancer agent” refers to chemical, physical or biological agent or compound with anti-proliferative, anti-oncogenic and/or carcinostatic properties which can be used to inhibit tumor growth, proliferation and/or development. Preferably, the anti-cancer agent has an anti-cancer expressing the OAcGD2 ganglioside activity.
- The at least one anti-cancer agent can be selected from the group comprising or consisting of anti-cancer agent such as alkylating agents, anti-metabolites, anti-tumor antibodies, anti-tumor antibiotics, topoisomerase inhibitors, mitotic inhibitors, tyrosine kinase inhibitors, corticosteroids, hormones or hormone-like drugs, cytokines, nucleoside analogs, nucleic acids, such double-stranded synthetic short RNA molecules (miRNAs) or synthetic DNA/RNA-like oligonucleotides (ASOs).
- The at least one anti-cancer agent may be unable to cross the cell membrane of cancer cells for itself.
- In all embodiments, the anti-cancer agent has a steric hindrance compatible with the size of the pore ranging from about 1 nm to about 2 μm, so that it can cross the cell membrane through the pore resulting from contacting a cell with an antibody recognizing the OAcGD2 ganglioside, a functional fragment or a derivative thereof.
- In some embodiments, anti-cancer agent can be embedded in biocompatible and biodegradable nanoparticles. This is particularly appropriated when anti-cancer agent is a nucleic acid, such double-stranded synthetic short RNA molecules (miRNAs) or synthetic DNA/RNA-like oligonucleotides (ASOs) or a short polypeptide to protect them from being cleaved by nucleases or proteases.
- In this case, the type of nanoparticles can be selected by the skilled artisan based on their size as well as their physicochemical and pharmacokinetic characteristics. For example, miRNA was successfully delivered to cancer cells by using iron oxide nanoparticles in animal model of gastric adenocarcinoma (HIRAKI et al., Molecular Therapy—Nucleic Acids (2015) 4, e231), and carbonate apatite nanoparticles in animal model of colorectal adenocarcinoma (SUN et al., 2014, Mol Cell Biochem, vol. 390, pp19-30). The size distribution of nanoparticles can be measured using different techniques, such as atomic force microscopy (AFM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS). For example, single particle size of iron oxide nanoparticles was being 10-60 nm, and that composed of carbonate apatite nanoparticles was 70-80 nm and up to 200˜300 nm if they form an aggregate.
- Nanoparticles can also be used for the anti-cancer agents used in chemotherapy that are distributed evenly within the body of the patient and which cannot distinguish the cancer cells from the healthy ones.
- In recent years, considerable effort has been directed towards ultrasmall inorganic particles (USNPs) for therapy of cancer. Gold USNPs have a core size ranging from 1 to 3 nm.
- The size of nanoparticles and ultrasmall nanoparticles is compatible with the size of the pore observed within the cell membrane of cancer cells expressing the OAcGD2 ganglioside when incubated with the antibody recognizing the OAcGD2 ganglioside.
- In some embodiments, anti-cancer agents are not embedded in nanoparticles. In this case, anti-cancer agents in solution are non-spherical, dynamic (tumbling) and solvated.
- The apparent size of the dynamic, hydrated, solvated anti-cancer agent can thus be determined using the diffusional properties of the anti-cancer agent. Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) is considered as the best technique to calculate the hydrodynamic radius (Rh) which is defined as the radius of an equivalent hard sphere diffusing at the same rate as the molecule under observation. Rh is indicative of the apparent size of the dynamic hydrated/solvated molecule. Rh is generally calculated from the diffusion coefficient using the Stokes-Einstein equation. Radius of gyration (Rg), defined as the mass weighted average distance from the core of a molecule to each mass element in the molecule, is another parameter allowing the determination of the size of molecule. It is possible, however, to obtain Rg for molecules using other techniques such as small angle neutron scattering (SANS) and small angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) or from high resolution x-ray structures.
- It can be also appropriate to characterize the anti-cancer agent forming part of the composition use to treat cancer by its molecular mass.
- In a preferred embodiment, the anti-cancer agent has a molecular mass ranging from 100 Daltons to 200,000 Daltons.
- By “molecular mass” is meant the average mass of a molecule, calculated by summing the atomic weights of atoms in the molecular formula defining said molecule. The words mass and weight are used interchangeably in the present invention. By “atomic weight” is meant weighted average of isotopic masses found in a typical terrestrial sample of the element as disclosed on the periodic table of Mendeleyev.
- A definition of the Dalton can be found in the Green Book (IUPAC, Green book, Third Edition, “Quantities, Units and Symbols in physical chemistry”, 2007). The Dalton, symbol Da, is used as an alternative name for the unified atomic mass unit, symbol u. The Dalton is related to the mass of the carbon-12 nuclide and is defined as the 1/12 mass of carbon-12 atom (ma(I2C)/12≈1.666 538 782 (83)×10−27 kg=10−3/Na (kg), wherein Na is the Avogadro constant being equal to 6.022 14×1023 mol−1). It follows therefore that the molar mass of carbon-12 is 12 g/mol exactly. This has the consequence that molar masses are numerically identical to atomic weights when they are expressed in the SI units of g/mol (eq. to g·mol−1). As an example, the molar mass of water (H2O) is 18 g·mol−1 and its molecular mass is 18 Da. The Dalton may be combined with the SI prefixes to express the masses of large molecules in kilodalton (kDA) or megadalton (MDa). For example, an anti-cancer agent with a molar mass of 200,000 g-mol−1 has a molecular mass of 200,000 Da, which also can be defined as 200 kDa.
- Also, in certain embodiments, the anti-cancer agent of the compositions according to the invention has a molecular mass ranging from 10 kDa to 15 kDa, more preferably from 11 kDa to 14 kDa, more preferably from 12 kDa to 13 kDa. Most preferably, the anti-cancer agent of the compositions according to the invention has a molecular mass ranging from 10 kDa to 13 kDa.
- In other embodiments, the anti-cancer agent of the compositions according to the invention has a molecular mass ranging from 80 kDa to 200 kDa, more preferably from 100 kDa to 180 kDa, more preferably from 120 kDa to 160 kDa. Most preferably, the anti-cancer agent of the compositions according to the invention has a molecular mass ranging from 150 kDa to 200 kDa.
- In other embodiments, the anti-cancer agent of the compositions according to the invention has a molecular mass ranging from 120 Daltons to 800 Daltons, more preferably from 150 Daltons to 600 Daltons, more preferably from 250 Daltons to 550 Daltons. Most preferably, the anti-cancer agent of the compositions according to the invention has a molecular mass ranging from 120 Daltons to 550 Daltons.
- Also in certain embodiments, the at least one anti-cancer agent is selected from the group of anti-cancer agents comprising or consisting of anti-tumor antibiotics, such as anthracyclines, topoisomerase inhibitors, such as camptothecins, alkylating agents, such as imidazotetrazines or cyclophosphamide, prenol lipids, antimetabolites, such as diazines and transition metal salts.
- Anthracyclines are one of the most efficient classes of drugs in the treatment of cancer. Originated in the 1950's, these molecules were firstly identified from the soil bacterium Streptomyces peucetius. Anthracyclines are composed of a rigid planar tetracyclic structure with adjacent quinone and hydroquinone moieties, a short side chain with a carbonyl group at C-13, and an aminosugar daunosamine attached by a glycosidic bond to the C-7 of the tetracyclic ring. Anthracyclines enter the cell through passive diffusion and are able to interact with the topoisomerase-DNA complex, thereby inhibiting cellular growth. Despite an efficient activity in killing cancer cells, only a few of them has been approved for medicinal use such as daunorubicin, doxorubicin, idarubicin, epirubicin, valrubicin, mitoxantrone or pixantrone. Moreover, their clinical usefulness is limited by a cumulative dose-dependent cardiotoxicity, which can cause irreversible heart failure. Preferably, the anthracycline used in the composition of the invention is selected from the group comprising or consisting of daunorubicin, doxorubicin, idarubicin, valrubicin and other derivatives thereof. Most preferably, the anthracycline used in the composition of the invention is doxorubicin, or one of its derivatives thereof.
- In all embodiments, the composition according to the present invention contains therapeutically effective amount of at least one anti-cancer agent and therapeutically effective amount the at least one antibody recognizing the OAcGD2 ganglioside, a functional fragment or a derivative thereof.
- As used herein, the term “therapeutically effective amount” is intended to encompass any amount that will achieve the desired therapeutic or biological effect. The therapeutic effect is dependent upon the cancer expressing the OAcGD2 ganglioside treated or the biological effect desired. As such, the therapeutic effect can be a decrease in the severity of symptoms associated with the cancer expressing the OAcGD2 ganglioside and/or inhibition (partial or complete) of progression of the cancer expressing the OAcGD2 ganglioside. The amount needed to elicit the therapeutic response can be determined based on cancer type, the age, health, size and sex of the patient.
- According to a preferred embodiment, doxorubicin or one of its derivatives can be administered at a dose comprised between 40 mg/m2 and 60 mg/m2 for an adult subject, during 1 to 3 days, every 3 or 4 weeks. The maximal cumulative dose of doxorubicin or one of its derivatives should not exceed 600 mg/m2. The dose is reduced between 25 mg/m2 and 30 mg/m2 for a child (MATTHAY et al., N Engl J Med, 1999, vol. 341, pp. 1165-1173). To convert dose in mg/m2 to dose in mg/kg, simply divide by 37 for human (NAIR and JACOB, J Basic Clin Pharm., 2016, vol. 7(2): pp. 27-31)
- Doses given herein are for adult and/or child humans, but can be adjusted to the size of other mammals, in accordance with weight or square meter size.
- Camptothecins are heterocyclic compounds comprising a planar pentacyclic ring structure, that includes a pyrrolo[3,4-beta]-quinoline moiety (rings A, B and C), conjugated pyridone moiety (ring D) and one chiral center at
position 20 within the alpha-hydroxy lactone ring with (S) configuration (the E-ring). These quinoline-based alkaloids were initially extracted from the Asian tree Camptotheca acuminate. Topotecan and irinotecan are the only two camptothecins derivatives drugs approved for their use in treating cancer. Preferably, the camptothecin used in the composition of the invention is selected from the group comprising or consisting of topotecan, irinotecan, rubitecan and other derivatives. Most preferably, the camptothecin used in the composition of the invention is topotecan, irinotecan or one of their derivatives. - According to a preferred embodiment, topotecan or one of its derivatives can be administered for an adult subject at a starting dose of 1.5 mg/m2 during 5 days, every 3 weeks and then at a dose comprised between 1 mg/m2 and 1.5 mg/m2, during 5 days, every 3 weeks. The dose is reduced to 0.75 mg/m2 for a child, during 5 days, every 28 days (DI GIANNATALE et al. Phase II study of temozolomide in combination with topotecan (TOTEM) in relapsed or refractory neuroblastoma: a European Innovative Therapies for Children with Cancer-SIOP-European Neuroblastomastudy and Reza Rahbar, Carlos Rodriguez-Galindo, John G. Meara, Edward R. Smith, Antonio R. Perez-Atayde. 2 Dec. 2013 Springer Science & Business Media).
- According to another preferred embodiment, irinotecan or one of its derivatives can be administered for an adult subject at a of 340-350 mg/m2 by an i.v infusion of 90 minutes, every 3 weeks (FRIEDMAN et al., J. Clin. Oncol., vol. 27(28), p:4733-4740, 2009).
- Doses given herein are for adult and/or child humans, but can be adjusted to the size of other mammals, in accordance with weight or square meter size.
- Imidazotetrazines are a class of heterobicyclic compounds containing ortho-fused imidazole and tetrazine rings. Among these compounds, temozolomide (Temodar®, Temodal®, TMZ) has been approved for the treatment of newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and also for refractory anaplastic astrocytoma. This pro-drug needs to be activated to be active. Despite a clear benefit to a subset of patients suffering from glioblastoma, TMZ also induces progressive tumor growth associated with emergence of TMZ resistance. Preferably, the imidazotetrazine used in the composition of the invention is temozolomide or one of its derivatives.
- According to a preferred embodiment, temozolomide or one of its derivatives can be administered at a dose comprised between 75 mg/m2 and 200 mg/m2 for an adult subject, during 1 day.
- Doses given herein are for humans, but can be adjusted to the size of other mammals, as well as children, in accordance with weight or square meter size.
- Prenol lipids are synthesized from the five carbon precursor isopentenyl diphosphate and dimethylallyl diphosphate that are produced mainly via the mevalonic acid pathway. Because the simple isoprenoids (linear alcohols, diphosphates, etc.) are formed by the successive addition of C5 units, it is convenient to classify them in this manner, with a polyterpene subclass for those structures containing more than 40 carbons (i.e., >8 isoprenoid units). For example, vitamin A and its derivatives and phytanic acid and its oxidation product pristanic acid are grouped under C20 isoprenoids. Carotenoids are important simple isoprenoids that function as antioxidants and as precursors of vitamin A. Another biologically important class of molecules is exemplified by the quinones and hydroquinones, which contain an isoprenoid tail attached to a quinonoid core of nonisoprenoid origin. Vitamins E and K as well as the ubiquinones are examples of this class. Among prenol lipids, retinoids are natural and synthetic derivatives of vitamin A. Several studies reported their use as powerful differentiation inducers or inducer of tumor cell apoptosis for treating cancer such as acute myeloid leukemia (AML). For example, vitamin A derivatives include retinoic acid (RA), all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), 9-cis RA, 4-HPPR, 13-cis RA and synthetic analogs of retinoic acid such as AM 580. Recently, 13-cis RA was found beneficial in the treatment of high-risk neuroblastoma after bone marrow transplantation (Matthay et al., N Engl J Med; 341:1165-1173, 1999). Preferably, the prenol lipid used in the composition of the invention is selected from the group comprising or consisting of ATRA, 9-cis RA and 13-cis RA. Most preferably, the prenol lipid used in the composition of the invention is 13-cis RA, also called isotretinoin.
- According to a preferred embodiment, isotretinoin can be administered at a dose comprised between 80 mg/m2 and 160 mg/m2 for an adult subject (YU et al., N Engl J Med., 2010, vol. 363(14): pp. 1324-1334).
- Doses given herein are for humans, but can be adjusted to the size of other mammals, as well as children, in accordance with weight or square meter size.
- Diazines are organic compounds containing a five-member heterocyclic compound with five nitrogen atoms, and two nitrogen atoms at

- The assignment of amino acids to each CDR is in accordance with well-known numbering systems including IMGT, Kabat and Chothia systems (IMGT, The International Immunogenetics Information System®, LEFRANC et al., Nucleic Acids Research, vol. 27, p: 209-212, 1999; KABAT, sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 5th edition. U.S Department of Health and Human Services, Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, NIH publication, No 91-3242, 991; CLOTHIA & LESK, J Mol Biol., vol. 196(4), p:901-917, 1987).
- The term “an antibody recognizing the OAcGD2 ganglioside” refers to an equilibrium association constant (KA) of an antibody for OAcGD2 ganglioside of more than 2×105 M at 25° C., preferably a KA of equal to or less than 2×106 M, more preferably a KA of equal to or more than 1×107 M or even 2×107 M. Such affinity can be simply measured by techniques available in the art, e.g. Scatchard assay, competition ELISA, BIACORE assay or KINEXA assay.
- According to the present invention, the antibody used in the compositions according to the invention is not specific for GD2 ganglioside. The equilibrium association constant (KA) of the antibody used in the composition according to the invention is at least 10 fold weaker, more preferably of at least 100 fold weaker for GD2 ganglioside than for OAcGD2 ganglioside. Preferably, the equilibrium association constant (KA) of the antibody for GD2 ganglioside of less than 105 M at 25° C., preferably a KA of less than 104 M for GD2 ganglioside.
- The term “functional fragment” refers to antibody fragments, which bind specifically to the OAcGD2 ganglioside. Such fragments can be simply identified by the skilled person and comprise, as an example, scFv fragment, Fab fragment (e.g., by papain digestion), Fab′ fragment (e.g., by pepsin digestion and partial reduction), F(ab′)2 fragment (e.g., by pepsin digestion), Facb (e.g., by plasmin digestion), and also Fv and Fd (e.g., by pepsin digestion, partial reduction and re-aggregation) fragments are encompassed by the invention.
- Such fragments can be produced by enzymatic cleavage, synthetic or recombinant technique using well known method in the art, such as described in STANWORTH et al (Handbook of Experimental Immunology, vol. 1, chapter 8, Blackwell Scientific Publications, 1978). Antibodies can also be produced in a variety of truncated forms using antibody genes in which one or more stop codons have been introduced upstream of the natural stop site. For example, a combination gene encoding a F(ab′)2 heavy chain portion can be designed to include DNA sequences encoding the CH1 domain and/or hinge region of the heavy chain. The various portions of antibodies can be joined together chemically by conventional techniques, or can be prepared as a contiguous protein using genetic engineering techniques.
- Now, these fragments comprise at least the variable regions of the heavy and light chains described previously.
- These fragments can be soluble, but also anchored within the cell membrane, as a single-chain variable part of a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR).
- The term “chimeric antigen receptors (CARs),” as used herein, refers to an artificial hybrid polypeptide comprising at least one antigen binding domain of an antibody and at least one effector cell signaling domain. Such CARs encompass engineered receptors that graft an artificial specificity onto a particular immune effector cell (e.g. T cells, NK cells and NKT cells). CARs may be employed to impart the specificity of a monoclonal antibody onto a T cell in a non-MHC-restricted manner, thus exploiting the antigen-binding properties of monoclonal antibodies. When expressed in T-cells, CARs recognize unprocessed antigens independently of their expression of major histocompatibility antigen which is unlike the physiologic T-Cell Receptors (TCR), thus bypassing two major mechanisms of tumor escape, the downregulation of HLA expression or proteosomal antigen processing. The binding of CARs to a specific antigen elicits an immune response.
- In particular aspects, CARs comprise an ectodomain, a transmembrane domain and an endodomain. Now, the arrangement could be multimeric, such as a diabody or also multimers (e.g., the multi-chain chimeric antigen receptor described in International Patent application PCT WO 2016/016343).
- The ectodomain corresponds to the antigen binding domain and to the spacer domain (stalk region). The antigen binding domain is preferably a single-chain variable fragment (scFv). Such scFv is a genetically engineered antibody fragment that usually consists of the heavy chain and light chain of an immunoglobulin, or parts thereof such as VH and VL, joined together by a flexible peptide linker as disclosed as an example in PLUCKTHUN (The Pharmacology of Monoclonal Antibodies, vol. 113, Rosenburg and Moore eds., Springer-Verlag, New York, p:269-315, 1994). The flexible peptide linker can be a peptide of between 6 to 40 amino acid residues. The use of small amino acids such as alanine and glycine are of use in creating flexible linker. Exemplary flexible linkers include glycine polymers (G)n, glycine-serine polymers such as for example (GS)n, GSGGSn (SEQ ID NO:22)n, GGGSn (SEQ ID NO:23)n and GGGGSn (SEQ ID NO:24)n, where n is an integer of at least one, glycine-alanine polymers or glycine-serine polymers, or other flexible linkers known in the art. As example of useful polymers, one can cite GGGGSGGGGSGGGGS ((G4S)3; SEQ ID NO:25), GSTSGSGKPGSGEGSTKG (CD19 linker; SEQ ID NO:26), GGSSRSSSSGGGGSGGGG (18mer; SEQ ID NO:27), GGGGSGGGGSGGGGSGGGGS ((G4S)4; SEQ ID NO:28), KESGSVSSEQLAQFRSLD (SEQ ID NO:29), EGKSSGSGSESKST (SEQ ID NO:30), GSAGSAAGSGEF (SEQ ID NO:31), GGGGGGGG (SEQ ID NO:32) or GGGGGG (SEQ ID NO:33). Finally, these scFv fragments can be obtained by methods well known to those skilled in the art, such as described by GILLILAND et al. (Tissue Antigens, vol. 47, pp. 1-20, 1996). The term “stalk region” also called as “spacer or hinge domain” as used herein refers to any oligo- or polypeptide that functions to link the transmembrane domain to the ectodomain. In particular, stalk region are used to provide more flexibility and accessibility for the ectodomain. The spacer elements play a predominantly structural role in the CAR. The spacer physically separates the targeting moiety from the T-cell membrane. The optimum distance required is likely to be different for each antigen. To enable efficient target access, a spacer appears to be required if a CAR binds an epitope that lies close to the target cell membrane, or when an antigen is complex in size and glycosylation status. Human IgG-derived spacers (Hinge-CH2-CH3) are commonly used due to their stabilizing action on CAR expression but interactions between the Fc domain of the spacer and Fc gamma receptors (FcgRs) on myeloid cells can lead to activation-induced cell death of T-cells and limited persistence in-vivo. This can be overcome by deleting or modifying regions of the constant heavy (CH)2 domain that are essential for FcgR binding thereby improving CAR T-cell persistence and anti-tumour activity in-vivo in pre-clinical models. Other Hinge domains commonly used include those derivated from CD28 or CD8 or other truncated fragments from Human IgG-derived spacers. In a preferred embodiment, the CAR comprises a stalk region between the ectodomain and the transmembrane domain. A stalk region may comprise up to 300 amino acids, preferably 10 to 100 amino acids and most preferably 25 to 50 amino acids. This stalk region may be derived from all or part of naturally occurring molecules, such as part of the extracellular region of CD8, CD4 or CD28, or from all or part of an antibody constant region. Alternatively, this stalk region may be a synthetic sequence.
- The transmembrane domain is a membrane anchor domain and also a linker between the ectodomain and the endomain. This transmembrane domain may be a human IgG4Fc hinge region, a Fc region, a CD4 transmembrane domain, a T cell receptor transmembrane, or other transmembrane domains from other human transmembrane signaling proteins, such as CD16, TCR Zeta chain (CD3ζ), CD28 and CD8 and erythropoietin receptor, and mutants thereof. Preferably, this transmembrane domain is a T cell receptor transmembrane domain. Preferably, the T cell receptor transmembrane domain is issued from a transmembrane protein able to form a complex with the T cell receptor for antigen (TCR). Preferably, the T cell receptor transmembrane domain comprises part or all of one or more of TCR Zeta chain (CD3ζ), CD28, OX40/CD134, 4-1BB/CD137/TNFRSF9, FcERly, ICOS/CD278, ILRB/CD122, IL-2RG/CD132, CD27, DAP10 and CD40.
- The endodomain is an intracellular signaling domain, which is responsible for intracellular signaling following the binding of the ectodomain to the target antigen resulting in the activation of the immune cell. In other word, the intracellular signaling domain is responsible for the activation of at least one of the normal effector functions of the immune cell in which the chimeric receptor is expressed. The term “effector function” refers to a specialized function of a T cell, which can be a cytolytic activity or helper activity including the secretion of cytokines. Thus the term “intracellular signaling domain” refers to the portion of a protein that transduces the effector function signal and directs the cell to perform a specialized function. While usually the entire intracellular signaling domain will be employed, in many cases it will not be necessary to use the entire intracellular polypeptide. To the extent that a truncated portion of the intracellular signaling domain may find use, such truncated portion may be used in place of the intact chain as long as it still transduces the effector function signal. The term intracellular signaling domain is thus meant to include any truncated portion of the intracellular signaling domain sufficient to transduce the effector function signal.
- Preferred examples of signal transducing domain for use in multi-chain CAR can be the cytoplasmic sequences of the Fc receptor or T cell receptor and co-receptors that act in concert to initiate signal transduction following antigen receptor engagement, as well as any derivate or variant of these sequences and any synthetic sequence that as the same functional capability. Signal transduction domain comprises two distinct classes of cytoplasmic signaling sequence, those that initiate antigen-dependent primary activation, and those that act in an antigen-independent manner to provide a secondary or co-stimulatory signal. Primary cytoplasmic signaling sequence can comprise signaling motifs which are known as immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs of ITAMs. ITAMs are well defined signaling motifs found in the intracytoplasmic tail of a variety of receptors that serve as binding sites for syk/zap70 class tyrosine kinases. Examples of ITAM used in the invention can include as non limiting examples those derived from TCRzeta, FcRgamma, FcRbeta, FcRepsilon, CD3gamma, CD3delta, CD3epsilon, CD5, CD22, CD79a, CD79b and CD66d. In a preferred embodiment, the signaling transducing domain of the multi-chain CAR can comprise the CD3zeta signaling domain, or the intracytoplasmic domain of the Fc epsilon RI beta or gamma chains.
- In particular embodiment the signal transduction domain of the multi-chain CAR of the present invention comprises a co-stimulatory signal molecule. A co-stimulatory molecule is a cell surface molecule other than an antigen receptor or their ligands that is required for an efficient immune response.
- “Co-stimulatory ligand” refers to a molecule on an antigen presenting cell that specifically binds a cognate co-stimulatory molecule on a T-cell, thereby providing a signal which, in addition to the primary signal provided by, for instance, binding of a TCR/CD3 complex with an MHC molecule loaded with peptide, mediates a T cell response, including, but not limited to, proliferation activation, differentiation and the like. A co-stimulatory ligand can include but is not limited to CD7, B7-1 (CD80), B7-2 (CD86), PD-L1, PD-L2, 4-1BBL, OX40L, inducible costimulatory ligand (ICOS-L), intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM, CD30L, CD40, CD70, CD83, HLA-G, MICA, M1CB, HVEM, lymphotoxin beta receptor, 3/TR6, ILT3, ILT4), an agonist or antibody that binds Toll ligand receptor and a ligand that specifically binds with B7-H3. A co-stimulatory ligand also encompasses, inter alia, an antibody that specifically binds with a co-stimulatory molecule present on a T cell, such as but not limited to, CD27, CD28, 4-IBB, OX40, CD30, CD40, PD-1, ICOS, DAP-10, lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1), CD2, CD7, LTGHT, NKG2C, B7-H3, a ligand that specifically binds with CD83.
- A “co-stimulatory molecule” refers to the cognate binding partner on a T-cell that specifically binds with a co-stimulatory ligand, thereby mediating a co-stimulatory response by the cell, such as, but not limited to proliferation. Co-stimulatory molecules include, but are not limited to an MHC class I molecule, BTLA and Toll ligand receptor. Examples of costimulatory molecules include CD27, CD28, CD8, 4-1BB (CD137), OX40, CD30, CD40, PD-1, ICOS, DAP-10, lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1), CD2, CD7, LIGHT, NKG2C, B7-H3 and a ligand that specifically binds with CD83 and the like. The term “derivative thereof” refers to an amino acid sequence having a percentage of identity of at least 90%, preferably at least 95%, most preferably at least 98% (i.e. corresponding to about 12, 6 and 2 amino acids substitutions respectively) with an amino acid sequence selected in the group comprising or consisting of SEQ ID NO:1, SEQ ID NO:2, SEQ ID NO:3, SEQ ID NO:4, SEQ ID NO:5, SEQ ID NO:6, SEQ ID NO:7, SEQ ID NO:8, SEQ ID NO:9, SEQ ID NO:10, SEQ ID NO:11, SEQ ID NO:12, SEQ ID NO:13, SEQ ID NO:14, SEQ ID NO:15, SEQ ID NO:34, SEQ ID NO:35, SEQ ID NO:36, SEQ ID NO:37, SEQ ID NO:38, SEQ ID NO:39, SEQ ID NO:40, SEQ ID NO:41, SEQ ID NO:42, SEQ ID NO:43, SEQ ID NO:44, SEQ ID NO:45, SEQ ID NO:46, SEQ ID NO:47, SEQ ID NO:48, SEQ ID NO:49, SEQ ID NO:50 and SEQ ID NO:51, preferably of at least 99% (i.e. corresponding to about 1 amino acid substitution).
- When related to CDRs sequences, the term derivative thereof” refers to an amino acid sequence having a percentage of identity of at least 80%, and preferably at least 90% (i.e. corresponding to about 2, and 1 amino acids substitutions respectively) with an amino acid sequence selected in the group comprising or consisting of, SEQ ID NO:16, SEQ ID NO:17, SEQ ID NO:18, SEQ ID NO:19, SEQ ID NO:20, and SEQ ID NO:21.
- Such derivatives can be simply identified by the skilled person in view of its personal knowledge and of the teaching of the present patent application. It will also be understood that natural amino acids may be replaced by chemically modified amino acids. Typically, such chemically modified amino acids increase the polypeptide half-life.
- As used herein, “percentage of identity” between two amino acids sequences, means the percentage of identical amino-acids, between the two sequences to be compared, obtained with the best alignment of said sequences, this percentage being purely statistical and the differences between these two sequences being randomly spread over the amino acids sequences. As used herein, “best alignment” or “optimal alignment”, means the alignment for which the determined percentage of identity (see below) is the highest. Sequences comparison between two amino acids sequences are usually realized by comparing these sequences that have been previously aligned according to the best alignment; this comparison is realized on segments of comparison in order to identify and compare the local regions of similarity. The best sequences alignment to perform comparison can be realized, beside by a manual way, by using the local homology algorithm developed by Smith and Waterman (Ad. App. Math., vol. 2, p:482, 1981), by using the global homology algorithm developed by Neddleman and Wunsch (J. Mol. Biol., vol. 48, p:443, 1970), by using the method of similarities developed by Pearson and Lipmolan (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, vol. 85, p:2444, 1988), by using computer softwares using such algorithms (GAP, BESTFIT, BLAST P, BLAST N, FASTA, TFASTA in the Wisconsin Genetics software Package, Genetics Computer Group, 575 Science Dr., Madison, WI USA), by using the MUSCLE multiple alignment algorithms (Edgar, Robert C., Nucleic Acids Research, vol. 32, p:1792, 2004). To get the best local alignment, one can preferably use the BLAST software with the BLOSUM 62 matrix. The identity percentage between two sequences of amino acids is determined by comparing these two sequences optimally aligned, the amino acids sequences being able to encompass additions or deletions in respect to the reference sequence in order to get the optimal alignment between these two sequences. The percentage of identity is calculated by determining the number of identical position between these two sequences, and dividing this number by the total number of compared positions, and by multiplying the result obtained by 100 to get the percentage of identity between these two sequences.

The therapeutic effect is dependent upon the cancer expressing the OAcGD2 ganglioside treated or the biological effect desired. As such, the therapeutic effect can be a decrease in the severity of symptoms associated with the cancer expressing the OAcGD2 ganglioside and/or inhibition (partial or complete) of progression of the cancer expressing the OAcGD2 ganglioside. The amount needed to elicit the therapeutic response can be determined based on cancer type, the age, health, size and sex of the patient.

- The antibody, functional fragment or derivative of the invention can be formulated into a composition in a neutral or salt form. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts include the acid addition salts (formed with the free amino groups of the protein) which are formed with inorganic acids such as, for example, hydrochloric or phosphoric acids, or such organic acids as acetic, oxalic, tartaric, mandelic, and the like. Salts formed with the free carboxyl groups can also be derived from inorganic bases such as, for example, sodium, potassium, ammonium, calcium, or ferric hydroxides, and such organic bases as isopropylamine, trimethylamine, histidine, procaine and the like.
- The carrier can also be a solvent or a dispersion medium containing, for example, water, ethanol, polyol (for example, glycerol, propylene glycol, and liquid polyethylene glycol, and the like), suitable mixtures thereof, and vegetables oils. The antibodies of the invention may also be modified, by pegylation as an example, so as to increase its biodisponibility.
- The proper fluidity can be maintained, for example, by the use of a coating, such as lecithin, by the maintenance of the required particle size in the case of dispersion and by the use of surfactants. The prevention of the action of microorganisms can be brought about by various antibacterial and antifungal agents, for example, parabens, chlorobutanol, phenol, sorbic acid, thimerosal, and the like. In many cases, it will be preferable to include isotonic agents, for example, sugars or sodium chloride.
- Prolonged absorption of the injectable compositions can be brought about by the use in the compositions of agents delaying absorption, for example, aluminium monostearate, gelatin, polyols, and half-life enhancing covalent and non-covalent formulations.
- There are numerous causes of peptide instability or degradation, including hydrolysis and denaturation. Hydrophobic interaction may cause clumping of molecules together (i.e. aggregation). Stabilizers may be added to reduce or prevent such problems.
- Stabilizers include cyclodextrine and derivatives thereof (see U.S. Pat. No. 5,730,969). Suitable preservatives such as sucrose, mannitol, sorbitol, trehalose, dextran and glycerin can also be added to stabilize the final formulation. A stabilizer selected from ionic and non-ionic surfactants, D-glucose, D-galactose, D-xylose, D-galacturonic acid, trehalose, dextrans, hydroxyethyl starches, and mixtures thereof may be added to the formulation. Addition of alkali metal salt or magnesium chloride may stabilize a peptide. The peptide may also be stabilized by contacting it with a saccharide selected from the group consisting of dextran, chondroitin sulphuric acid, starch, glycogen, dextrin, and alginic acid salt. Other sugars that can be added include monosaccharides, disaccharides, sugar alcohols, and mixtures thereof (E.g., glucose, mannose, galactose, fructose, sucrose, maltose, lactose, mannitol, xylitol). Polyols may stabilize a peptide, and are water-miscible or water-soluble. Suitable polyols may be polyhydroxy alcohols, monosaccharides and disaccharides including mannitol, glycerol, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, trimethyl glycol, vinyl pyrrolidone, glucose, fructose, arabinose, mannose, maltose, sucrose, and polymers thereof. Various excipients may also stabilize peptides, including serum albumin, amino acids, heparin, fatty acids and phospholipids, surfactants, metals, polyols, reducing agents, metal chelating agents, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, hydrolysed gelatin, and ammonium sulfate.
- In all embodiments, the at least one anti-cancer agent having a molecular mass ranging from 100 Daltons to 200,000 Daltons, and the at least one antibody recognizing the OAcGD2 ganglioside, a functional fragment or a derivative thereof may be administered separately, simultaneously or sequentially.
- In certain embodiments, the at least one anti-cancer agent administered separately, simultaneously or sequentially with the at least one antibody recognizing the OAcGD2 ganglioside, a functional fragment or a derivative has a molecular mass ranging from 10 kDa to 15 kDa.
- Also in certain embodiments, the at least one anti-cancer agent administered separately, simultaneously or sequentially with the at least one antibody recognizing the OAcGD2 ganglioside, a functional fragment or a derivative has a molecular mass ranging from 80 kDa to 200 kDa.
- Also in certain embodiments, the at least one anti-cancer agent administered separately, simultaneously or sequentially with the at least one antibody recognizing the OAcGD2 ganglioside, a functional fragment or a derivative has a molecular mass ranging from 120 to 800 Daltons.
- For example, the at least one antibody recognizing the OAcGD2 ganglioside, a functional fragment or a derivative thereof may be administered previously to the administration of the at least one anti-cancer agent having a molecular mass ranging from 100 Daltons to 200,000 Daltons. The way and the sequence of administration aim to obtain the maximum effectiveness of the combination; it is possible for each administration to have a variable duration ranging from a rapid total administration to a continuous infusion. As a consequence, the combination of at least one anti-cancer agent having a molecular mass ranging from 100 Daltons to 200,000 Daltons, and at least one antibody recognizing the OAcGD2 ganglioside, a functional fragment or a derivative thereof are not limited to those which are obtained by physical association of them, but also to those which allow a separate administration that can be simultaneous or sequential.
- In certain embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition also comprises a second, a third, a fourth, a nth anti-cancer agent including, but not limited to, alkylating agents, anti-metabolites, anti-tumor antibodies, anti-tumor antibiotics, topoisomerase inhibitors, mitotic inhibitors, tyrosine kinase inhibitors, corticosteroids, hormones or hormone-like drugs, cytokines, nucleoside analogs, etc.
- Examples of other anti-cancer agents that may be combined with a composition comprising: (i) at least one anti-cancer agent having a molecular mass ranging from 100 Daltons to 200,000 Daltons, (ii) at least one antibody recognizing the OAcGD2 ganglioside, a functional fragment or a derivative thereof, and optionally (iii) a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, for use in a method for the treatment and/or prevention of cancer expressing the OAcGD2 ganglioside, either administered separately or in the same compositions, include, but are not limited to:
-
- (a) alkylating agents: mechloramine, chlorambucil, ifosfamide, melphalan and the likes,
- (b) anti-metabolites: 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP), capecitabine, cytarabine, floxuridine, fludarabine, gemcitabine, hydroxyurea, methotrexate, pemetrexed and the likes,
- (c) anti-tumor antibiotics: actinomycin-D, bleomycin, mitomycin-C, mitoxanthrone and the likes,
- (d) topoisomerase inhibitors: etoposide (VP-16), teniposide and the likes,
- (e) mitotic inhibitors: paclitaxel, docetaxel and the likes,
- (f) tyrosine kinase inhibitors: imatinib, gefininib, sunitinib and the likes,
- (g) corticosteroids: prednisone, methylprednisone, dexamethasone and the likes,

- (i) cytokine: a soluble small protein of approximately 5-20 kDa that is released by one cell population (e.g., primed T-lymphocytes) on contact with specific antigens, and which acts as an intercellular mediator between cells. Examples of cytokines include lymphokines, monokines, interleukins, and several related signaling molecules, such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and interferons,
- (j) nucleoside analogs: cladribine, fludarabine, pentostatin and the likes.
- In certain embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition also comprises a second, a third, a fourth, a nth anti-cancer agent including, but not limited to nucleic acids, such double-stranded synthetic short RNA molecules (miRNAs) or synthetic DNA/RNA-like oligonucleotides (ASOs). MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous single stranded non-coding RNAs ranging from 16 to 25 nucleotides involved in post-transcriptional attenuation of mRNA translation. Their deregulation is frequently observed in many diseases, including cancer. The importance of mir-34 family and mir-17-92 cluster has been established for both tumorigenesis and metastasis in neuroblastoma, whereas overexpression of mir-184 reduces neuroblastoma tumor growth (Chu and Lee, 2012, Intech, MicroRNA target signatures in Advanced stage Neuroblastoma, Neuroblastoma—Present and future, Prof. Hiroyuki Shimada, IBSN 978-953-307-016-2, chapter 13, pp. 271-286). Thus, by designing different types of small single or double stranded, chemically-synthesized and optimized nucleic acids (from about 22 nucleotides) such as miRNA mimics or agomirs that up-regulate miRNA activity, miRNA inhibitors or antagomir that knockdown individual miRNA molecules, it is possible to control specific miRNA activity or to tightly regulate miRNA cellular levels in cells. Such short chemically-synthesized nucleic acids targeting miRNA involved in cancer expressing the OAcGD2 ganglioside can be used in the compositions according to the invention.
- A second aspect of the present invention concerns a method of increasing the efficacy of a cancer expressing the OAcGD2 ganglioside treatment comprising an anti-cancer agent, comprising administering to a patient in need thereof an effective amount of a composition comprising: (i) at least one anti-cancer agent having a molecular mass ranging from 100 Daltons to 200,000 Daltons, (ii) at least one antibody recognizing the OAcGD2 ganglioside, a functional fragment or a derivative thereof, and optionally (iii) a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
- In certain embodiments, in the composition used in the method of increasing the efficacy of a cancer expressing the OAcGD2 ganglioside treatment, the at least one anti-cancer agent has a molecular mass ranging from 10 kDa to 15 kDa.
- Also in certain embodiments, in the composition used in the method of increasing the efficacy of a cancer expressing the OAcGD2 ganglioside treatment, the at least one anti-cancer agent has a molecular mass ranging from 80 kDa to 200 kDa.
- Also in certain embodiments, in the composition used in the method of increasing the efficacy of a cancer expressing the OAcGD2 ganglioside treatment, the at least one anti-cancer agent has a molecular mass ranging from 120 to 800 Daltons.
- The expression “increasing the efficacy of a treatment” refers to an increase in the number of cancer cells death obtained by the method of the invention compared to a treatment using the sole anti-cancer agent.
- The effectiveness of anti-cancer agents having a molecular mass ranging from 100 Daltons to 200,000 Daltons can be considerably improved when they are administered in combination with at least one antibody recognizing the OAcGD2 ganglioside, a functional fragment or a derivative thereof in anticancer treatments which has a mechanism of action different than that of anti-cancer agents having a molecular mass ranging from 100 Daltons to 200,000 Daltons.
- The improved effectiveness of a combination according to the invention can be demonstrated by determining the therapeutic synergism. A clear and well-accepted definition of “synergism” is: it represents greater effects for drugs in combination than the simple additive effect expected from the knowledge of the effects of each drug individually. A possible favorable outcome for synergism may be increasing the efficacy of the therapeutic effect. Preferably, the cancer expressing OAcGD2 ganglioside is treated more effectively when using the composition of the invention.
- The effectiveness of a combination of at least one anti-cancer agents having a molecular mass ranging from 100 Daltons to 200,000 Daltons, and at least one antibody recognizing the OAcGD2 ganglioside, a functional fragment or a derivative thereof can be interpreted from measured experimental data using the Combination Index (CI) approach developed by Chou and Talalay (Chou T C, Pharmacol Rev 58:621-681, 2006). Briefly, for the combination of two drugs (D)1 and (D)2 at the combination ratio of (D)1:(D)2=P:Q, in the combination, (D)1,2=(D)1+(D)2, we get (D)1=(D)1,2×[P/(P+Q)] and (D)2=(D)1,2×[Q/(P+Q)]. The combination index equation CIx=[(D)1/(Dx)1]+[(D)2/(Dx)2] indicates that for a given effect of (Fa)x for x % inhibition of system, Dx, the combined additive effect for the sum of the fractional doses of each drug, (D)1/(Dx)1 and (D)2/(Dx)2 should be equal to unity. CI=1, it indicates an additive effect, CI<1, it indicates a synergistic effect, and CI>1, it indicates an antagonistic effect.
- The effectiveness of the combinations on solid tumors can also be determined experimentally by, for example, comparing the number of tumor size before and after treatment. Preferably, the combinations of at least one anti-cancer agent having a molecular mass ranging from 100 Daltons to 200,000 Daltons, and at least one antibody recognizing the OAcGD2 ganglioside, a functional fragment or a derivative thereof as disclosed herein are effective when tumor size is reduced by at least 5%, at least 10%, at least 20%, at least 30%, at least 40%, at least 50%, at least 60%, at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 90%, 100%, and more preferably at least 50 to 70%.
- The effectiveness of the combinations on solid tumors can also be determined by, for example, following up of the number of cancer cells, cancer cell infiltration into peripheral organs, or tumors metastasis.
- Cancer therapy efficacy can also be measured by assessing duration of survival of patient suffering from a cancer expressing the OAcGD2 ganglioside, duration of progression free survival (PFS), the response rate (RR), the duration of the response and/or quality of life.
- In preferred embodiments, the at least one anti-cancer agent having a molecular mass ranging from 100 Daltons to 200,000 Daltons of the composition according to the invention is the same than that initially selected for treating cancer expressing OAcGD2 ganglioside as single agent.
- Another possible favorable outcome for synergism may be decreasing the dosage of the at least one anti-cancer agent but increasing or maintaining the same efficacy to avoid toxicity.
- A third aspect of the present invention concerns a method of increasing sensitivity to an anti-cancer agent in a patient suffering from a cancer expressing the OAcGD2 ganglioside, comprising administering to a patient in need thereof an effective amount of a composition comprising: (i) at least one anti-cancer agent having a molecular mass ranging from 100 Daltons to 200,000 Daltons, (ii) at least one antibody recognizing the OAcGD2 ganglioside, a functional fragment or a derivative thereof, and optionally (iii) a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
- In certain embodiments, in the composition used in the method of increasing the sensitivity to an anti-cancer agent in a patient suffering from a cancer expressing the OAcGD2 ganglioside, the at least one anti-cancer agent has a molecular mass ranging from 10 kDa to 15 kDa.
- Also in certain embodiments, in the composition used in the method of increasing the sensitivity to an anti-cancer agent in a patient suffering from a cancer expressing the OAcGD2 ganglioside, the at least one anti-cancer agent has a molecular mass ranging from 80 kDa to 200 kDa.
- Also in certain embodiments, in the composition used in the method of increasing the sensitivity to an anti-cancer agent in a patient suffering from a cancer expressing the OAcGD2 ganglioside, the at least one anti-cancer agent has a molecular mass ranging from 120 to 800 Daltons.
- In addition to providing improved treatment for cancer, administration of certain combinations described herein may improve the quality of life for a patient compared to the quality of life experienced by the same patient receiving a different treatment. For example, administration of a combination of the at least one antibody recognizing the OAcGD2 ganglioside, a functional fragment or a derivative thereof and the anti-cancer agent, as described herein to a patient in need thereof may provide an improved quality of life compared to the quality of life the same patient would experience if they received only anti-cancer agent as therapy. For example, the combined therapy with the combination described herein may lower the dose of anti-cancer agent needed, thereby lessening the side-effects associated with the therapeutic (e.g. nausea, vomiting, hair loss, rash, decreased appetite, etc.). The combination may also cause reduced tumor burden and the associated adverse events, such as pain, organ dysfunction, weight loss, etc.
- Another possible favorable outcome for synergism may be minimizing or slowing down the development of drug resistance and its dramatic consequence, a recurrence of the cancer expressing the OAcGD2 ganglioside.
- A fourth aspect of the present invention concerns a method of preventing or delaying development of cancer resistant to an anti-cancer agent in a patient suffering from a cancer expressing the OAcGD2 ganglioside, comprising administering to a patient in need thereof an effective amount of a composition comprising: (i) at least one anti-cancer agent having a molecular mass ranging from 100 Daltons to 200,000 Daltons, (ii) at least one antibody recognizing the OAcGD2 ganglioside, a functional fragment or a derivative thereof, and optionally (iii) a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
- In certain embodiments, in the composition used in the method of preventing or delaying development of cancer resistant to an anti-cancer agent in a patient suffering from a cancer expressing the OAcGD2 ganglioside, the at least one anti-cancer agent has a molecular mass ranging from 10 kDa to 15 kDa.
- Also in certain embodiments, in the composition used in the method of preventing or delaying development of cancer resistant to an anti-cancer agent in a patient suffering from a cancer expressing the OAcGD2 ganglioside, the at least one anti-cancer agent has a molecular mass ranging from 80 kDa to 200 kDa.
- Also in certain embodiments, in the composition used in the method of preventing or delaying development of cancer resistant to an anti-cancer agent in a patient suffering from a cancer expressing the OAcGD2 ganglioside, the at least one anti-cancer agent has a molecular mass ranging from 120 to 800 Daltons.
- It is not unusual that after primary treatment (i.e. first line cancer treatment) for a cancer with a single anti-cancer agent, the patient survives without any signs or symptoms of that cancer for a short period of time before the return of the cancer or the signs and symptoms of the cancer. By using the combination of at least one anti-cancer agent having a molecular mass ranging from 100 Daltons to 200,000 Daltons, (ii) at least one antibody recognizing the OAcGD2 ganglioside, a functional fragment or a derivative thereof, the aim is to prevent clonal selection leading to resistant cells grow out.
- In a preferred embodiment, the at least one anti-cancer agent having a molecular mass ranging from 100 Daltons to 200,000 Daltons of the composition according to the invention is different from that at the origin of the resistance of cancer.
- Mechanisms of therapeutic resistance include increased recognition and repair of DNA damaged by the anti-cancer agent, altered cell cycle checkpoint control, impaired functioning of apoptotic pathways, and reduced drug accumulation as a result of increased expression of ABC transporters that efflux anti-cancer agents. Evidence has emerged that Cancer Stem Cells (CSCs) represent a subpopulation of cells within cancers that is characterized by increased resistance to chemo- and radiotherapy, indicating that conventional anticancer approaches might frequently fail to eradicate the cell subset that initiates and perpetuates tumorigenesis. Now, cancer cells other than CSCs may develop increased resistance to chemo- and radiotherapy, potentially by using similar pathway. Reversing chemoresistance can be achieved through specific blockade of multidrug resistance ABC transporters, as shown in human melanoma.
- Surprisingly, the inventors identified a new method for reversing chemoresistance, notably in CSC populations, without needing interfering with multidrug resistance transporters or shuttles involved in anti-cancer agent intake.
- This fourth aspect of the present invention also concerns a method of treating a refractory or relapsed cancer in a patient suffering from a cancer expressing the OAcGD2 ganglioside, comprising administering to a patient in need thereof an effective amount of a composition comprising: (i) at least one anti-cancer agent having a molecular mass ranging from 100 Daltons to 200,000 Daltons, (ii) at least one antibody recognizing the OAcGD2 ganglioside, a functional fragment or a derivative thereof, wherein said cancer is refractory to or is in relapse after a first line cancer treatment comprising one or more anti-cancer agent selected from the group consisting of alkylating agents, antimetabolites, anti-tumor antibiotics, topoisomerase inhibitors, mitotic inhibitors, tyrosine kinase inhibitors and nucleoside analogs.

- Also in certain embodiments, the refractory or relapsed cancer is neuroblastoma.
- According to another preferred embodiment, when the composition is used in a method of treating refractory or relapsed neuroblastoma, the at least one anti-cancer agent is temozolomide, topotecan, irinotecan, cyclophosphamide, fudarabine, cisplatin, doxorubicin, isotretinoin, etoposide or a mixture thereof.
- Also in certain embodiments, the refractory or relapsed cancer is glioblastoma.

- The following examples are provided in order to demonstrate and further illustrate certain preferred embodiments and aspects of the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the scope thereof.
- 1. Treatment of Neuroblastoma and Glioblastoma Cells with Anti-OAcGD2 mAb 8B6 Induces Pore Formation within Cell Membrane
- Culture dishes (6 wells) were coated with 500 000 IMR5, LAN-1 or DUASOII cells/well 24 hours before incubation with anti-OAcGD2 mAb 8B6 (murine, IgG3) or an isotype-matched negative control mouse IgG3 (CTRL−). Then, 40 μg/ml of antibodies were added to each well for 30 minutes. Supernatant was spinning down and cells were detached from their support using mechanical strength (without trypsin) and spin down. After being washed with PBS, cells were fixed with glutaraldehyde 2% in 0.1 mol/L sodium phosphate buffer, pH7.4, for 1 h at 4° C. Fixation was pursued with 1% OsO4 for 15 minutes. Deshydratation occurred in ethyl alcohol baths using 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% ethyl alcohol for 15 minutes each bath. Finally, cells were mounted onto metallic stub and analyzed by scanning electron microscopy.
- As shown in
FIG. 1 , the pore formation in the membrane of IMR5 (panel B), LAN-1 (panel D) and DUASOII (panel F) cells appears from 30 minutes of treatment with mAb 8B6. Cell and pore size and diameter were determined for the three cell types. As shown inFIG. 2 -A, diameter of the pore induced by mAb 8B6 in IMR5 is about 1.914 am and its surface is about 2.877 μm2. In this case, the pore covers at least 4% of the total surface of the cell. The results obtained for LAN-1 and DUASOII are quite similar. As shown inFIG. 2 -B and 2-C, diameter of the pore induced by mAb 8B6 in LAN-1 is about 1.760 μm and its surface is about 2.433 μm2. In this case, the pore covers at least 0.7% of the total surface of the cell. As shown inFIG. 2 -D and 2-E, diameter of the pore induced by mAb 8B6 in DUASOII is about 1.459 m and its surface is about 1.672 μm2. In this case, the pores cover at least 2.8% of the total surface of the cell. - Moreover, the inventors established that a smaller antibody concentration induces an increased penetration of propidium iodure.
- 2. Treatment with Either Isotretinoin, Topotecan or Doxorubicin does not Affect OAcGD2 Expression on Neuroblatoma Cell Lines
- We have reported earlier the expression of OAcGD2 in neuroblastoma cell lines (Alvarez-Rueda et al., PLos One 2011 6:e25220). Previous studies showed that GD2 expression—the precursor of OAcGD2—can be altered in neuroblastoma cells upon exposure to retinoic acid (Rebhan et al., Neuroreport. 1994 Apr. 14; 5(8):941-4 and Hettmer et al., Br J Cancer. 2004 Jul. 19; 91(2): 389-397). Thus, we tested if anti-cancer agent exposures would affect the level of mAb 8B6 binding. To this end, we treated the studied murine and human neuroblastoma cell lines with each single agent for 48 hours before studying OAcGD2-expression by flow cytometry analysis. The concentrations of drugs used in these experiments are indicated in the Table 1.

We incubated 5×105 cells in 96-well microplates with either mAb 8B6 (Cerato et al., Hybridoma 1997, 16:307-316) or mAb 7H2 (mouse monoclonal against O-acetyl GD3 was used as a negative control antibody) at 10 μg/ml for 60 minutes at 4° C. in
PBS 1%-BSA. Antibody binding was analyzed after reaction with the fluorescein-isothiocyanate conjugated F(ab′)2 fragment of goat anti-mouse IgG (VH+VL) as a second antibody (Jackson, Immunoresearch, Soham, UK) for 60 min at 4° C. Cell fluorescence was analyzed using a FACSCalibur™ flow cytometer (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA) and Cell Quest™ Pro software (BD Biosciences). Relative fluorescence intensities of 10,000 cells were recorded as single-parameter histograms (log scale, 1024 channels, and 4 decades) and mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) was calculated for each histogram. Results were expressed as a MFI ratio calculated by dividing the flow cytometric MFI value of cells stained with antigen-specific mAb by the MFI value for the same cells stained with negative control mAb 7H2. This approach allows for comparison of multiple test samples within a group and between different groups. - As shown in Table 2, the level of mAb 8B6 binding on NXS2 cells remained unchanged after 48 hours of incubation with isotretinoin, topotecan, or doxorubicin as compared to untreated cells.
- We also observed little or no change when we studied the level of mAb 8B6 binding on IMR5, LAN-1 and LAN-5 cells 48 hours after drug incubations (Table 2).

Anti-OAcGD2 mAb 8B6 Shows Synergistic Effect with Chemotherapeutic Drugs in Neuroblastoma Cell Lines
- To test whether anti-OAcGD2 mAb 8B6 could enhance chemotherapy, we next characterized the effects on tumor cell viability of mAb 8B6 in combination with isotretinoin, topotecan and doxorubicin in four different neuroblastoma cell lines.
- The antiproliferative activity of the anti-cancer agents was evaluated using the MTT Cell Proliferation Assay Kit (Roche Diagnostic, Indianapolis, USA). The MTT assay is based on the reduction of yellow tetrazolium MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazolyl-2)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) by metabolically active cells forming purple formazan crystals. The purple formazan is solubilized with detergent and quantified spectrophotometrically at 570 nm.
- Cells in the log phase of growth were seeded into 96-well (5×103 for LAN-1 and NXS2 cells; 1×104 for IMR5 and LAN-5 cells) treated plates in 100 μl of complete media. The cells were allowed to attach during an overnight incubation prior to treating with test agents. Test agents were serially diluted in complete culture media and added to each well in a volume of 50/65 μl for a total final volume of 165 μl/well. Equivalent culture media volume was added to control wells. Three conditions were used: anti-cancer agent alone, mAb 8B6 alone, rmAb 8B6+anti-cancer agent. Cells were exposed to test agents for 48 hours. Following the exposure to test agents, 15 μl of MTT reagent was added to each well. The plates were returned to the incubator for four hours. Following the incubation period, kit supplied detergent reagent (100 μl) was added to all wells. The plates were wrapped in plastic wrap to prevent evaporation and allowed to sit at room temperature in the dark overnight. The absorbance at 570 nm was measured the following day using a iMark™ Microplate Absorbance Reader plate reader (Bio-Rad). Assays were performed in quadruplicate and experiments were repeated three times. Absorbance values were converted to Percent of Control and plotted against test agent concentrations for half maximal effective concentration (EC50) calculations using CompuSyn® software (ComboSyn, Paramus, NJ, USA). CompuSyn® is a computer software for PCs developed by Chou and Martin (2005, CompuSyn for Drug Combinations: PC Software and User's Guide: A Computer Program for Quantitation of Synergism and Antagonism in Drug Combinations, and the Determination of IC50 and ED50 and LD50 Values. ComboSyn, Paramus, NJ.) that can be used for dose effect analysis for single drugs using the median-effect equation and for multiple drug combinations using both the median-effect equation and the combination index equation. The median-effect equation used by CompuSyn® software derived from the mass-action law principle at equilibrium steady state. The term half maximal effective concentration (EC50) refers to the concentration of a drug, antibody which induces a response halfway between the baseline and maximum after a specified exposure time. Percent of Control values were calculated by dividing the absorbance values for each test well by the No Drug Control average and multiplying by 100.
- Combination data was analyzed using CompuSyn® software to calculate Combination Index values to assess synergy. The Fraction Affected (Fa) was calculated from the Percent of Control using the formula: 1−Percent Control/100), where 1 corresponds to 100% effect and 0 corresponds to no effect. The dosage, fraction affected and molar ratio of compounds tested in combination were entered into the CompuSyn® software for evaluation of the presence/absence of synergy. CompuSyn® assigns a Combination Index value which rates the level of compounds' inhibiting 50% of the cell proliferation. CI values below 1 indicate the presence of synergy and CI values above 1 indicate antagonism. CI50 values equal to 1 indicate an additive affect. See Chou, PHARMACOL, REV., 58(3):621-81(2006).
- NXS2 cells were grown in DMEM 4.5 g/L de glucose with 10% heat-inactivated fetal calf serum, 2 mM L-Glutamine, 100 units/ml penicillin, and 100 μg/ml streptomycin, at 37° C. in 5% CO2. IMR5, LAN-1 and LAN-5 cells were grown in RPMI 1640 with 10% heat-inactivated fetal calf serum, 2 mM L-Glutamine, 100 units/ml penicillin, and 100 μg/ml streptomycin, at 37° C. in 5% CO2.
- We found similar observations when we tested the neuroblastoma cell lines NXS2, IMR5, LAN-1 and LAN-5. The calculated EC50 values of each tested chemotherapeutic drug were significantly lower for the two agent-combinations (i.e. anti-cancer agent and mAb 8B6) (p<0.05, Table 3).

We found that median combination index values were significantly less than 1.0 (p<0.05) across all combinations tested, indicating a synergistic interaction (see Table 4). The combination of isotretinoin and mAb 8B36 gave combination index values ranging from 0.33 to 0.81 (NXS2=0.74,
IMR 5=0.81, LAN-1=0.47, LAN-5=0.33) (Table 4). Topotecan showed a stronger synergism with combination index values ranging from 0.28 to 0.60 (NXS2=0.60,MR 5=0.50, LAN-1=0.58, LAN-5=0.28) (Table 4). The combination with doxorubicin yielded the strongest synergy across the tested neuroblastoma cell lines with combination index values equal or lesser than 0.30 (NXS2=0.30,IMR 5=0.10, LAN-1=0.05, LAN-5=0.16) (Table 4). These data suggest a more potent anti-neuroblastoma efficacy of chemotherapy when used with anti-OAcGD2 mAb 86. -

In this experiment, incorporation of 5-FU, Cisplatin and doxorubicin within the cells in the presence of mAb 8B6 or CTRL-(IgG) was detected using flow cytometry (excitation with a 535 nm laser). Anti-cancer agents and mAb were incubated during 30 minutes at 37° C. Positive control (saponin 0.05%) shows maximal incorporation of chemotherapy in LAN-1 cells.
- As shown in
FIG. 3 , more cells were positive for 5-FU (Panel A), cisplatin (Panel B) at 1.52 μM and doxorubicin (Panel C) at 4.7 μM when incubated with mAb 8B6 than the same cells incubated with anti-cancer agent alone and CTRL-(IgG). Moreover, more cells were positive for doxorubicin (Panel D) at 4.7 μM when incubated with mAb c8B6.14b and mAb c8B6.15b than the same cells incubated with anti-cancer agent alone and CTRL-(IgG). - All these results clearly illustrate that anti-OAcGD2 mAb 8B6 facilitates the penetration of anti-cancer agents in tumor cells.
- 4. Anti-OAcGD2 mAb 8B6 Shows Synergistic Effect with Temozolomide (TMZ) in Glioblastoma Primary Cells
- To test whether mAb 8B6 could enhance chemotherapy, we next characterized the effects on tumor cell viability of mAb 8B6 in combination with temozolomide in six different glioblastoma primary cells.
- Tumor specimens were collected from patients with a histologic diagnosis of GBM. Tumors were harvested at the time of surgical resection and immediately put into culture after dissociation of the tumors using the gentleMACs™ Dissociator (Miltenyi) according to the manufacturer's instructions. All specimen collection and analysis were performed in accordance with the Institutional Review Board-approved protocol and all patients or their guardians provided written informed consent (Comité de Protection des Personnes Ouest IV, protocol #DC-2012-1555). The cells were maintained in an atmosphere of 5% CO2 and 95% humidity in defined medium (DMEM/Ham F12 containing 2 mM L-glutamine, 100 U/mL penicillin, 100 μg/mL streptomycin, B27 supplement, N2 supplement, 2 μg/ml heparin, 40 ng/ml ß-FGF and 40 ng/ml EGF) to form neurospheres.
- Cells in the log phase of growth were seeded into 96-well (1×104 for AMBMa, DUGAn, DUASOII,
GLIO 5, GUITh, and HARCI glioblastoma cells) treated plates in 100 μl of complete media. The cells were allowed to attach during an overnight incubation prior to treating with test agents. Test agents were serially diluted in complete culture media and added to each well in a volume of 50/65 μl for a total final volume of 165 μl/well. Equivalent culture media volume was added to control wells. Three conditions were used: temozolomide alone, mAb 8B6 alone, mAb 8B6+temozolomide. Cells were exposed to test agents for 72 hours. Following the exposure to test agents, 15 μl of MTT reagent was added to each well. The plates were returned to the incubator for four hours. Following the incubation period, kit supplied detergent reagent (100 μl) was added to all wells. The plates were wrapped in plastic wrap to prevent evaporation and allowed to sit at room temperature in the dark overnight. The absorbance at 570 nm was measured the following day using a iMark™ Microplate Absorbance Reader plate reader (Bio-Rad). - Assays were performed in quadruplicate and experiments were repeated three times.
- Cell viability was measured using the MTT assay and half maximal effective concentration (EC50) was calculated as previously disclosed. Results are illustrated in Table 5 below. We found similar observations when we tested the glioblastoma primary cells AMBMa, DUGAn, DUASOII,
GLIO 5, GUITh, and HARCI. The calculated EC50 values of each tested chemotherapeutic drug were lower for the two agent-combinations (i.e. temozolomide and mAb 8B6). -

Anti-OAcGD2 mAb 8B6 Shows Synergistic Effect with Chemotherapeutic Drugs in Other Types of Cancer
- To test whether anti-OAcGD2 mAb 8B6 could enhance chemotherapy not only in neuroblastoma and glioblastoma, cell lines illustrative for melanoma (M21 cells), breast cancer (MDA-MB-231 cells which overexpress OAcGD2 ganglioside), small cells lung cancer (H524 cells), glioblastoma (DUGAn cells) and Ewing's sarcoma (TC71 cells) were incubated with the specific combination of doxorubicin (0.26 μM, except for MDA-MB-231 cells wherein the concentration of doxorubicin was 0.18 μM; and DUGAn cells wherein the concentration of doxorubicin was 1 μM) and mAb 8B6 or CTRL-(IgG) for 30 minutes. Flow cytometry was used to assess the number of doxorubicin positive cells as previously disclosed in part 3 of the example.
- As illustrated in
FIG. 4 , anti-OAcGD2 mAb 8B6 increases significantly the percentage of doxorubicin positive cells in all types of cancer. More specifically, a six fold increase in doxorubicin positive cells is observed for M21 melanoma cell line (panel A), more than two fold increase in doxorubicin positive cells is observed for TC71 Ewing's sarcoma cell line (panel D), almost two fold increase in doxorubicin positive cells is observed for MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell line (panel B), 1.5 fold increase in doxorubicin positive cells is observed for H524 small cell lung cancer cell line (panel C), 1.16 fold increase in doxorubicin positive cell for DUGAn glioblastoma cells (panel E). - Taken together, these results demonstrated that anti-OAcGD2 mAb 8B6 facilitates the penetration of the anti-cancer agent in several types of cancer, especially those having cells expressing O-acetylated GD2 ganglioside.
- 6. Anti-OAcGD2 8B6 mAb Enhances Anti-Tumor Activity of Chemotherapeutic Drugs in a Murine Neuroblastoma Liver Metastasis Model
- 6.1—Murine Tumor Model
- The anti-neuroblastoma efficacy of anti-OAcGD2 mAb 8B6 and chemotherapeutic treatments was determined in the murine NXS2 neuroblastoma experimental liver metastasis model in A/J mice, previously described by Lode et al. (J Natl Cancer Inst 1997, 89: 1586-1594). This study was carried out in strict accordance with the recommendations in the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals of the French Department of Agriculture. The protocol was approved by the Committee on the Ethics of Animal Experiments of the Region Pays de la Loire. Mice were housed at the UTE-UN animal facility (Nantes, France). Female and male A/J mice (6-8 weeks of age) were obtained from Harlan Laboratories (Gannat, France). We inoculated 2.5×105 tumor cells by tail vein in PBS. We grouped the mice into nine groups of 10 mice each: 1) vehicle-treated group; 2) control antibody-treated group; 3) anti-OAcGD2 mAb 8B6-treated group; 4) isotretinoin-treated group; 5) topotecan-treated group; 6) doxorubicin-treated group; 7) Isotretinoin+mAb 8B6-treated group, 8) topotecan+mAb 8B6-treated group; and 9) doxorubicin+mAb 8B6-treated group. Anti-OAcGD2 mAb 8B6 treatment was started at Day 3 after tumor cells injection. Mice received by i.v. injection twice a week 25 μg mAb 8B6 for 3 consecutive weeks; (
day 3, 7, 10, 14, 17 and 21; total dose=150 μg). Isotretinoin was given orally diluted in Ora-Plus© at 10 mg/kg daily for 2 consecutive weeks (on days 10-14 and 17-21). Topotecan diluted in PBS was given by i.p. injection at 0.36 mg/kg daily for one week (on days 10-14). Doxorubicin was given by i.p. injection at 1 mg/kg daily for two weeks (on days 10-14 and 17-21). Mice were sacrificed after 28 days post inoculation, and anti-tumor efficacy was evaluated by liver weight of the fresh specimen as well as hepatic metastasis number. - 6.2—Results
- To extend our observations obtained in vitro, we next evaluated the potential therapeutic effects of mAb 8B6/chemotherapy combination in vivo. We performed the in vivo studies using the mouse NXS2 neuroblastoma experimental liver metastasis model as disclosed by Alvarez-Rueda et al. (ALVAREZ-RUEDA et al. PLoS One 2011, vol. 6(9), p:e25220). Anti-cancer agents were given at low doses as previously reported in the literature in order to minimize related side effects. Three days after i.v. NSX2 tumor cell inoculation, ten mice were assigned to treatment with single agent, or combination of mAb 8B6 and anti-cancer agents as described previously. On day 28 after tumor cell inoculation, we determined the number of liver metastases and the liver weight after mice euthanasia. The dose of mAb 8B6 (cumulative dose=150 μg) that we used in this study yielded a significant reduction of NXS2 liver metastasis, as indicated by the liver weight compared to the vehicle treated mice. The mean liver weight in mAb 8B6-treated group was 1.5±0.15 g compared to 2.5±0.18 g for the vehicle-treated group (p<0.05,
FIG. 5 ). The specificity of anti-OAcGD2 mAb 8B6 therapy was demonstrated, since treatment with an equivalent amount of non-specific antibody was completely ineffective (mean liver weight=2.5±0.18 g, p>0.05 compared to vehicle-treated mice, data not shown). Antibody 8B6 cooperated with isotretinoin (10 mg/kg, per os, five times weekly for 2 weeks) resulting in a significant sensitization for isotretinoin inhibition of NXS2 metastasis growth (p<0.05,FIG. 5 panel A). The mean liver weight in the isotretinoin+mAb 8B6-treated group was 1.0±0.06 g and 2.0±0.24 g for the isotretinoin-treated group. The combination of the inhibitor of topoisomerase I topotecan (0.36 mg/kg, i.p., five times weekly for 1 week) plus mAb 8B6 also significantly reduced liver weight (0.9±0.03 g) compared to either topotecan (1.22±0.09 g), or mAb 8B6 alone (p<0.05,FIG. 5 panel B). The combination of the anthracycline antibiotics doxorubicin (1 mg/kg, i.p., five times weekly for 2 weeks) resulted in a significant reduction of the liver weight (1.33±0.12 g) compared to treatment with either doxorubicin (1.75±0.09 g), or mAb 8B6 alone (p<0.05,FIG. 5 panel C). The combination with mAb 8B6 with either isotretinoin or topotecan resulted in the strongest therapeutic efficacy among the three combination regimens tested (FIG. 5 ). Weight loss is used as a sensitive marker for health monitoring. We therefore performed a parallel analysis of the body weight over the treatment period. We observed no loss of body weight (FIG. 6 ), suggesting no treatment related toxicity in the mice treated with mAb 8B6, isotretinoin, isotretinoin+mAb 8B6, topotecan, or topotecan+mAb 8B6. Mice receiving doxorubicin or doxorubicin plus mAb 8B6 displayed a loss of body weight after day 17 compared to those mice receiving only mAb 8B6. The body-weight difference between the two groups treated with doxorubicin compared to the non-doxorubicin group, however, fails to be significant during the treatment period (p>0.05). These observations suggest that the combination with anti-cancer agent plus mAb 8B6 presents a more potent anti-tumor efficacy in vivo than either agent alone, without detectable toxicity. - 7. Anti-OAcGD2 8B6 mAb Restores the Anti-Cancer Effect of Chemotherapeutic Drugs in a Refractory Glioblastoma Model
- 7.1—Materials and Methods
- 7.1.1—Pharmacological Agent.
- Anti-OAcGD2 mAb 8B66 and isotype control antibody (CTRL) were obtained as Previously described. Temozolomide (TMZ) was purchased from Interchim (Montluçon, France).
- TMZ was reconstituted with DMSO and aliquots were stored at −20° C. DMSO at a final percentage equivalent to that of the TMZ solution served as the vehicle control for all studies.
- 7.1.2—Cell Culture.
- Patient-derived glioblastoma GBM-10 cells were maintained as neurospheres in DMEM/Ham F12 containing 1% penicillin and streptomycin supplemented with L-glutamine, B27, N2 supplement, and heparin (2 μg/ml), with additional growth factors ß-FGF (40 ng/ml) and EGF (40 ng/ml) added extemporaneously, respectively. Culture reagents were obtained from Gibco Life Technologies (Waltham, MA). All Cell types were kept at early passage and routinely tested for Mycoplasma by PCR.
- 7.1.3—O-Acetyl-GD2 Expression in GBM10 Cells.
- Analysis of OAcGD2 expression in GBM cells were performed by indirect immunofluorescence measured by flow cytometry. Cells were washed with cold PBS, fixed with
PFA 4% (Electron Microscopy Sciences, Hatfield, PA) for 10 min at 4° C., and then incubated with mAb 8B6 (10 μg/ml) for 45 min. Antibody 8B6 binding was detected by incubation with a fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled F(ab′)2 fragment of goat anti-mouse IgG (Jackson Immunoresearch, Soham, UK) for 60 min at 4° C. Separate experiments were performed with the control IgG. Cell fluorescence was analyzed using a FACSCanto flow cytometer (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA) and the FlowJo software (Flowjo LLC, Oregon, OR, USA). Results were expressed by MFI ratios. - 7.1.4—Limiting Dilution Analysis.
- For limiting dilution assays, GBM tumors were dissociated and isolated cells were seeded at an initial concentration of 103 cells/mL from which serial dilutions were performed in 96-well plate. Cells were cultured for 15 days, after which the fraction of wells that did not contain neurospheres for each cell-plating density was calculated and data were analyzed with the ELDA software (ELDA, Linz, Austria) to quantify the frequency of Glioblastoma Stem Cells (GSC) in sample and the impact of various treatment.
- 7.1.4—Glioblastoma Xenograft Mouse Model.
- NSG (NOD.Cg-Prkdcscid Il2rgtm1Wjl/SzJ) mice purchased Charles River Laboratories, (Wilmington, MA) were bred in the animal facility of the University of Nantes (UTE, SFR F. Bonamy) under SPF status and used at 6-12 weeks of age, accordingly to institutional guidelines (Agreement #00186.02; Regional ethics committee of the Pays de la Loire, France). GBM-10 cells (1×106 in 100 μl Matrigel, Corning, Corning, NY, USA) were injected subcutaneously at
Day 0. TMZ was administered by i.p. injection at a single dose of 0.05 mg/mouse on Day 12, 22 and 32. - 7.2—Results—
- TMZ-refractory GBM-10 cells (GBM-10 TMZ®) was isolated from relapse GBM-10 cells after TMZ chemotherapy (
FIG. 7 Panel A). The O-acetyl-GD2 expression level was determined by flow cytometry analysis as describe in the Material & Method Section. Results show that O-acetyl GD2 expression remains after TMZ chemotherapy compared to GBM-10 cell isolated from untreated mice (FIG. 7 Panel B). - TMZ refractory level was next determined by limiting dilution assay and expressed as glioblastoma cancer stem cells frequency in the tumorxenograft. Results indicate that the stem cell frequency was increased upon TMZ chemotherapy (
FIG. 7 Panels C & D). Indeed in the untreated mice, both TMZ- or mAb 8B6-exposure decreased the stem cell survival (FIG. 7 Panel C). More importantly, the effect induced by the two-agent combination (TMZ+8B6) was significantly higher than the two agents used as monotherapy, respectively. Effect of TMZ chemotherapy was far less efficient in inhibiting the stem cell survival in the GBM-10 cells isolated from relapse GBM-10 xenografts (FIG. 7 Panel D). Surprisingly, the two-agent combination (TMZ+8B6) was able to decrease the GSC survival.
