pubmed:abstractText |
The transcription factor nuclear factor-?B (NF-?B) is a central mediator of growth and homeostasis for both normal and neoplastic cells. I?B? is the natural intracellular inhibitor of NF-?B and can effectively complex with and thereby inhibit the biologic activity and translocation of NF-?B to the nucleus. We designed a fusion protein designated I?B?/scFvMEL composing of human I?B? and the single-chain antibody scFvMEL, targets melanoma gp240 antigen. Cells treated with I?B?/scFvMEL before irradiation showed specifically inhibition of both constitutive and radiation-induced NF-?B activity on gp240 antigen-positive A375M cells. Pretreatment of A375M cells with I?B?/scFvMEL significantly sensitized melanoma cells to ionizing radiation assessed using a clonogenic survival assay. Mechanistic studies showed that I?B?/scFvMEL, when exogenously added to A375M cells, could be coimmunoprecipitated with the p65 subunit of NF-?B. I?B?/scFvMEL inhibited in a time and/or dose-dependent manner of tumor necrosis factor ?- or radiation-induced NF-?B activity in vitro. I?B?/scFvMEL was also shown to specifically inhibit the translocation of the NF-?B p65 subunit to the cell nucleus and NF-?B-mediated gene transcription. Further, initial studies showed that mice bearing well-established A375M xenografts were treated (intravenously) with I?B?/scFvMEL and showed a significant suppression of tumor growth. We also observed a decrease in levels of Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL signaling events downstream of NF-?B in the tumor model. These studies demonstrate for the first time that tumor cell-targeted delivery of I?B? may be beneficial for the treatment of melanoma when combined with standard anticancer therapies such as radiation.
