The alpha v beta 6 integrin is a promising target for cancer therapy. Its expression is up-regulated de novo on many types of carcinoma where it may activate transforming growth factor-beta1 and transforming growth factor-beta 3, interact with the specific extracellular matrix proteins and promote migration and invasion of tumor cells. The viral protein 1 (VP1) coat protein of the O(1) British field strain serotype of foot-and-mouth disease virus is a high-affinity ligand for alpha v beta 6, and we recently reported that a peptide derived from VP1 exhibited alpha v beta 6-specific binding in vitro and in vivo. We hypothesized that this peptide could confer binding specificity of an antibody to alpha v beta 6. A 17-mer peptide of VP1 was inserted into the complementarity-determining region H3 loop of MFE-23, a murine single-chain Fv (scFv) antibody reactive with carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). The resultant scFv (B6-1) bound to alpha v beta 6 but retained residual reactivity with CEA. This was eliminated by point mutation (Y100bP) in the variable heavy-chain domain to create an scFv (B6-2) that was as structurally stable as MFE-23 and reacted specifically with alpha v beta 6 but not with alpha 5 beta 1, alpha v beta 3, alpha v beta 5, alpha v beta 8 or CEA. B6-2 was internalized into alpha v beta 6-expressing cells and inhibited alpha v beta 6-dependent migration of carcinoma cells. B6-2 was subsequently humanized. The humanized form (B6-3) was obtained as a non-covalent dimer from secretion in Pichia pastoris (115 mg/l) and was a potent inhibitor of alpha v beta 6-mediated cell adhesion. Thus, we have used a rational stepwise approach to create a humanized scFv with therapeutic potential to block alpha v beta 6-mediated cancer cell invasion or to deliver and internalize toxins specifically to alpha v beta 6-expressing tumors.
