Nanobody-targeted photodynamic therapy (NB-PDT) has been developed as a potent and tumor-selective treatment, using nanobodies (NBs) to deliver a photosensitizer (PS) specifically to cancer cells. Upon local light application, reactive oxygen species are formed and consequent cell death occurs. NB-PDT has preclinically shown evident success and we next aim to treat cats with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), which has very limited therapeutic options and is regarded as a natural model of human head and neck SCC. Immunohistochemistry of feline OSCC tissue confirmed that the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a relevant target with expression in cancer cells and not in the surrounding stroma. Three feline OSCC cell lines were employed together with a well-characterized human cancer cell line (HeLa), all with similar EGFR expression, and a low EGFR-expressing human cell line (MCF7), mirroring the EGFR expression level in the surrounding mucosal stroma. NB was identified as a NB binding human and feline EGFR with comparable high affinity. This NB was developed into NiBh, a NB-PS conjugate with high PS payload able to effectively kill feline OSCC and HeLa cell lines, after illumination. Importantly, the specificity of NB-PDT was confirmed in co-cultures where only the feline OSCC cells were killed while surrounding MCF7 cells were unaffected. Altogether, NiBh can be used for NB-PDT to treat feline OSCC and further advance NB-PDT towards the human clinic.
纳米抗体靶向光动力疗法(NB-PDT)已被开发为一种有效的肿瘤选择性治疗方法,利用纳米抗体(NBs)将光敏剂(PS)特异性递送至癌细胞。在局部光照后,会形成活性氧并导致细胞死亡。NB-PDT在临床前已显示出明显的成功,我们接下来的目标是治疗患有口腔鳞状细胞癌(OSCC)的猫,这种癌症的治疗选择非常有限,被视为人类头颈部鳞状细胞癌的天然模型。猫OSCC组织的免疫组织化学证实,表皮生长因子受体(EGFR)是一个相关靶点,在癌细胞中表达而在周围基质中不表达。使用了三种猫OSCC细胞系以及一种特征明确的人类癌细胞系(HeLa),它们都具有相似的EGFR表达,还有一种低EGFR表达的人类细胞系(MCF7),反映了周围黏膜基质中的EGFR表达水平。一种纳米抗体被鉴定为与人类和猫的EGFR具有相当高亲和力的结合物。这种纳米抗体被开发成NiBh,一种具有高PS负载量的纳米抗体-PS偶联物,光照后能够有效杀死猫OSCC和HeLa细胞系。重要的是,在共培养中证实了NB-PDT的特异性,其中只有猫OSCC细胞被杀死,而周围的MCF7细胞未受影响。总之,NiBh可用于NB-PDT治疗猫OSCC,并推动NB-PDT进一步向人类临床应用发展。
