Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly aggressive malignancy characterized by rapid progression, invasiveness and resistance to treatment. We have previously demonstrated that most PDAC patients have circulating antibodies against the glycolytic enzyme alpha-enolase (ENO1), which correlates with a better response to therapy and survival. ENO1 is a metabolic enzyme, also expressed on the cell surface where it acts as a plasminogen receptor. ENO1 play a crucial role in cell invasion and metastasis by promoting plasminogen activation into plasmin, a serine-protease involved in extracellular matrix degradation. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of ENO1 in PDAC cell invasion. We observed that ENO1 was expressed on the cell surface of most PDAC cell lines. Mouse anti-human ENO1 monoclonal antibodies inhibited plasminogen-dependent invasion of human PDAC cells, and their metastatic spreading in immunosuppressed mice was inhibited. Notably, a single administration of Adeno-Associated Virus (AAV)-expressing cDNA coding for 72/1 anti-ENO1 mAb reduced the number of lung metastases in immunosuppressed mice injected with PDAC cells. Overall, these data indicate that ENO1 is involved in PDAC cell invasion, and that administration of an anti-ENO1 mAb can be exploited as a novel therapeutic option to increase the survival of metastatic PDAC patients.
胰腺导管腺癌(PDAC)是一种极具侵袭性的恶性肿瘤,其特点是进展迅速、具有侵袭性且对治疗耐药。我们之前已经证明,大多数PDAC患者体内存在针对糖酵解酶α-烯醇化酶(ENO1)的循环抗体,这与对治疗的更好反应及生存期相关。ENO1是一种代谢酶,也在细胞表面表达,在细胞表面它作为纤溶酶原受体发挥作用。ENO1通过促进纤溶酶原激活为纤溶酶(一种参与细胞外基质降解的丝氨酸蛋白酶),在细胞侵袭和转移中发挥关键作用。本研究的目的是探讨ENO1在PDAC细胞侵袭中的作用。我们观察到ENO1在大多数PDAC细胞系的细胞表面表达。小鼠抗人ENO1单克隆抗体抑制人PDAC细胞的纤溶酶原依赖性侵袭,并且抑制其在免疫抑制小鼠中的转移扩散。值得注意的是,单次给予表达编码72/1抗ENO1单克隆抗体的cDNA的腺相关病毒(AAV),可减少注射了PDAC细胞的免疫抑制小鼠的肺转移数量。总体而言,这些数据表明ENO1参与PDAC细胞侵袭,并且给予抗ENO1单克隆抗体可作为一种新的治疗选择,以提高转移性PDAC患者的生存率。
