Abstract :

TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL), a member of TNF superfamily, specifically induces apoptosis of tumor cells. It is cytotoxic to death receptor-expressing tumor cells in vitro at the low concentration of nanomole. However, owing to the short serum half-life, TRAIL exerts poor in vivo antitumor effect in the preclinical test as well as in clinical trials. IgG is one type of long-acting proteins in plasma. IgG-binding might prolong the serum half-life thus enhance the in vivo antitumor effect of TRAIL. To endow the IgG-binding ability to TRAIL, a IgG-binding domain (IgBD) was genetically fused to the N-terminus of TRAIL. The fusion protein IgBD-TRAIL was similar to TRAIL in cytotoxicity. IgBD-TRAIL could bind both human IgG and mouse IgG and IgG-binding did not reduce its cytotoxicity. The serum half-life of IgBD-TRAIL in mice was 50-60 times longer than that of TRAIL and the tumor uptake of IgBD-TRAIL was 4-7 times more than that of TRAIL. In the treatment of mice bearing COLO 205 tumor grafts with average tumor volume of 150 mm3, a single dose of intravenously injected IgBD-TRAIL (5mg/kg) eradicated all tumor grafts within one week. However, the same amount of TRAIL only suppressed the tumor growth. Moreover, in mice bearing HCT116 or LS174T tumor grafts, intravenous injection of a single dose (5mg/kg) of IgBD-TRAIL definitely suppressed the tumor growth. But TRAIL showed a little antitumor effect in these mice, demonstrating that intravenously injected IgBD-TRAIL exerted greater antitumor effect than TRAIL. These results indicated that binding to endogenous IgG could prolong the half-life thus enhance the antitumor effect of TRAIL. IgBD-mediated IgG binding might be a novel approach for drug delivery.
