Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) has emerged as an attractive target for theranostic applications in colorectal cancers (CRCs). In the present study, the humanized anti-CEA antibody hT84.66-M5A (M5A) was labeled with Lu for potential CRC therapy. Moreover, the novel combination of Lu-DOTA-M5A with the heat shock protein 90 inhibitor onalespib, suggested to mediate radiosensitizing properties, was assessed for the first time. M5A antibody uptake and therapeutic effects, alone or in combination with onalespib, were assessed in human CRC xenografts and visualized using SPECT/CT imaging. Although both Lu-DOTA-M5A and onalespib monotherapies effectively reduced tumor growth rates, the combination therapy demonstrated the most substantial impact, achieving a fourfold reduction in tumor growth compared to the control group. Median survival increased by 33% compared to Lu-DOTA-M5A alone, and tripled compared to control and onalespib groups. Importantly, combination therapy yielded comparable or superior effects to the double dose of Lu-DOTA-M5A monotherapy. Lu-DOTA-M5A increased apoptotic cell levels, indicating its potential to induce tumor cell death. These findings show promise for Lu-DOTA-M5A as a CRC therapeutic agent, and its combination with onalespib could significantly enhance treatment efficacy. Further studies are warranted to validate these findings fully and explore the treatment's potential for clinical use.
癌胚抗原(CEA)已成为结直肠癌(CRC)治疗诊断应用中一个有吸引力的靶点。在本研究中,将人源化抗CEA抗体hT84.66-M5A(M5A)用镥标记,用于潜在的CRC治疗。此外,首次评估了镥标记的DOTA-M5A(Lu-DOTA-M5A)与热休克蛋白90抑制剂奥纳司匹的新型组合,该组合被认为具有放射增敏特性。在人CRC异种移植模型中评估了M5A抗体单独或与奥纳司匹联合使用时的摄取情况和治疗效果,并使用SPECT/CT成像进行可视化。尽管Lu-DOTA-M5A单药治疗和奥纳司匹单药治疗均有效降低了肿瘤生长速率,但联合治疗的效果最为显著,与对照组相比,肿瘤生长速率降低了四倍。与单独使用Lu-DOTA-M5A相比,中位生存期增加了33%,与对照组和奥纳司匹组相比增加了两倍。重要的是,联合治疗产生的效果与双倍剂量的Lu-DOTA-M5A单药治疗相当或更优。Lu-DOTA-M5A增加了凋亡细胞水平,表明其具有诱导肿瘤细胞死亡的潜力。这些发现表明Lu-DOTA-M5A作为一种CRC治疗药物具有前景,并且其与奥纳司匹联合使用可显著提高治疗效果。有必要进行进一步研究以充分验证这些发现,并探索该治疗方法的临床应用潜力。
