Abstract

The presence of an inactivating heat shock protein 110 (HSP110) mutation in colorectal cancers has been correlated with an excellent prognosis and with the ability of HSP110 to favor the formation of tolerogenic (M2-like) macrophages. These clinical and experimental results suggest a potentially powerful new strategy against colorectal cancer: the inhibition of HSP110. In this work, as an alternative to neutralizing antibodies, Nanofitins (scaffold ~7 kDa proteins) targeting HSP110 were isolated from the screening of a synthetic Nanofitin library, and their capacity to bind (immunoprecipitation, biolayer interferometry) and to inhibit HSP110 was analyzed in vitro and in vivo. Three Nanofitins were found to inhibit HSP110 chaperone activity. Interestingly, they share a high degree of homology in their variable domain and target the peptide-binding domain of HSP110. In vitro, they inhibited the ability of HSP110 to favor M2-like macrophages. The Nanofitin with the highest affinity, A-C2, was studied in the CT26 colorectal cancer mice model. Our PET/scan experiments demonstrate that A-C2 may be localized within the tumor area, in accordance with the reported HSP110 abundance in the tumor microenvironment. A-C2 treatment reduced tumor growth and was associated with an increase in immune cells infiltrating the tumor and particularly cytotoxic macrophages. These results were confirmed in a chicken chorioallantoic membrane tumor model. Finally, we showed the complementarity between A-C2 and an anti-PD-L1 strategy in the in vivo and in ovo tumor models. Overall, Nanofitins appear to be promising new immunotherapeutic lead compounds.

摘要

结直肠癌细胞中存在失活热休克蛋白 110(HSP110)突变与良好的预后相关,并且 HSP110 有利于形成耐受原性(M2 样)巨噬细胞。这些临床和实验结果表明了一种针对结直肠癌的潜在强大的新策略:抑制 HSP110。在这项工作中,作为中和抗体的替代物,从合成的 Nanofitin 文库筛选中分离出针对 HSP110 的 Nanofitins(支架~7 kDa 蛋白),并分析了它们在体外和体内结合(免疫沉淀,生物层干涉)和抑制 HSP110 的能力。发现三种 Nanofitins 可抑制 HSP110 伴侣活性。有趣的是,它们在可变结构域中具有高度同源性,并靶向 HSP110 的肽结合结构域。在体外,它们抑制了 HSP110 有利于 M2 样巨噬细胞的能力。具有最高亲和力的 Nanofitin A-C2 在 CT26 结直肠癌细胞模型中进行了研究。我们的 PET/扫描实验表明,A-C2 可能定位于肿瘤区域内,与肿瘤微环境中报道的 HSP110 丰度一致。A-C2 治疗可减少肿瘤生长,并与浸润肿瘤的免疫细胞,特别是细胞毒性巨噬细胞增加相关。在鸡绒毛尿囊膜肿瘤模型中证实了这些结果。最后,我们在体内和鸡胚肿瘤模型中显示了 A-C2 与抗 PD-L1 策略的互补性。总体而言,Nanofitins 似乎是有前途的新型免疫治疗先导化合物。
