Abstract
Abstract
Background
Despite the incorporation of novel therapeutics, advanced triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) still represents a relevant clinical problem. Considering this, as well as the clinical efficacy of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), we aimed at identifying novel ADC targets that could be used to treat TNBC.
Methods
Transcriptomic analyses were performed on TNBC and normal samples from three different studies. Plasma membrane proteins of three cell lines representative of the TNBC subtype were identified by cell surface biotinylation or plasma membrane isolation, followed by analyses of cell surface proteins using the Surfaceome online tool. Immunofluorescence and western studies were used to characterize the action of a CD98hc-directed ADC, which was prepared by in house coupling of emtansine to an antibody that recognized the ectodomain of CD98hc. Xenografted TNBC cells were used to analyze the antitumoral properties of the anti-CD98hc ADC.
Results
Comparative genomic studies between normal breast and TNBC tissues, together with proteomic and bioinformatic analyses resulted in the elaboration of a catalog of potential ADC targets. One of them, the CD98hc transmembrane protein, was validated as an ADC target. An antibody recognizing the ectodomain of CD98hc efficiently internalized and reached the lysosomal compartment. An emtansine-based ADC derived from such antibody was prepared and showed antitumoral properties in TNBC in vitro and in vivo models. Mechanistically, the anti-CD98hc ADC blocked cell cycle progression, that was followed by cell death caused by mitotic catastrophe.
Conclusions
This work describes a list of potential ADC targets in TNBC and validates one of them, the transmembrane protein CD98hc. The studies presented here also demonstrate the robustness of the multiomic approach herewith described to identify novel potential ADC targets.
