Mass spectrometry imaging discriminates glioblastoma tumor cell subpopulations and different microvascular formations based on their lipid profiles. Sci Rep 2022; 12:17069.

Abstract
Glioblastoma is a prevalent malignant brain tumor and despite clinical intervention, tumor recurrence is frequent and usually fatal. Genomic investigations have provided a greater understanding of molecular heterogeneity in glioblastoma, yet there are still no curative treatments, and the prognosis has remained unchanged. The aggressive nature of glioblastoma is attributed to the heterogeneity in tumor cell subpopulations and aberrant microvascular proliferation. Ganglioside-directed immunotherapy and membrane lipid therapy have shown efficacy in the treatment of glioblastoma. To truly harness these novel therapeutics and develop a regimen that improves clinical outcome, a greater understanding of the altered lipidomic profiles within the glioblastoma tumor microenvironment is urgently needed. In this work, high resolution mass spectrometry imaging was utilized to investigate lipid heterogeneity in human glioblastoma samples. Data presented offers the first insight into the histology-specific accumulation of lipids involved in cell metabolism and signaling. Cardiolipins, phosphatidylinositol, ceramide-1-phosphate, and gangliosides, including the glioblastoma stem cell marker, GD3, were shown to differentially accumulate in tumor and endothelial cell subpopulations. Conversely, a reduction in sphingomyelins and sulfatides were detected in tumor cell regions. Cellular accumulation for each lipid class was dependent upon their fatty acid residue composition, highlighting the importance of understanding lipid structure-function relationships. Discriminating ions were identified and correlated to histopathology and Ki67 proliferation index. These results identified multiple lipids within the glioblastoma microenvironment that warrant further investigation for the development of predictive biomarkers and lipid-based therapeutics.

Abstract
The tumor-associated ganglioside GD2 represents an attractive target for cancer immunotherapy. GD2-positive tumors are more responsive to such targeted therapy, and new methods are needed for the screening of GD2 molecular tumor phenotypes. In this work, we built a gene expression-based binary classifier predicting the GD2-positive tumor phenotypes. To this end, we compared RNA sequencing data from human tumor biopsy material from experimental samples and public databases as well as from GD2-positive and GD2-negative cancer cell lines, for expression levels of genes encoding enzymes involved in ganglioside biosynthesis. We identified a 2-gene expression signature combining ganglioside synthase genes ST8SIA1 and B4GALNT1 that serves as a more efficient predictor of GD2-positive phenotype (Matthews Correlation Coefficient (MCC) 0.32, 0.88, and 0.98 in three independent comparisons) compared to the individual ganglioside biosynthesis genes (MCC 0.02-0.32, 0.1-0.75, and 0.04-1 for the same independent comparisons). No individual gene showed a higher MCC score than the expression signature MCC score in two or more comparisons. Our diagnostic approach can hopefully be applied for pan-cancer prediction of GD2 phenotypes using gene expression data.

Abstract
PURPOSE Disialoganglioside GD2 is expressed by glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) cells representing a promising target for anti-GD2 immunotherapeutic approaches. The aim of the present study was to investigate anti-tumor efficacy of the chimeric anti-GD2 antibody (Ab) dinutuximab beta against GBM. METHODS Expression levels of GD2 and complement regulatory proteins (CRP; CD46, CD55 and CD59) on well-known and newly established primary tumor originated GBM cell lines were analyzed by flow cytometry. Ab-dependent cellular (ADCC) and complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) mediated by dinutuximab beta against GBM cells were determined by a non-radioactive calcein-AM-based assay. RESULTS Analysis of primary GBM cells revealed a heterogeneous GD2 expression that varied between the cell lines analyzed with higher expression levels in the tumor surface compared to the core originated cells. Both GD2-positive and -negative tumor cells were detected in every cell line analyzed. In contrast to CDC, ADCC mediated by dinutuximab beta was observed against the majority of GBM cells. Importantly, CDC-resistant cells showed high expression of the CRP CD46, CD55 and CD59. CONCLUSION Our present data show anti-tumor effects mediated by dinutuximab beta against GBM cells providing a rationale for a GD2-directed immunotherapy against GBM. Due to high CRP expression, a combining of GD2-targeting with CRP blockade might be a further treatment option for GBM.

Abstract
Background I-124 codrituzumab (aka GC33), an antibody directed at Glypican 3, was evaluated in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Fourteen patients with HCC underwent baseline imaging with I-124 codrituzumab (~ 185 MBq, 10 mg). Seven of these patients undergoing sorafenib/immunotherapy with 2.5 or 5 mg/kg of cold codrituzumab had repeat imaging, with co-infusion of I-124 codrituzumab, as part of their immunotherapy treatment. Three patients who progressed while on sorafenib/immunotherapy were re-imaged after a 4-week washout period to assess for the presence of antigen. Serial positron emission tomography (PET) imaging and pharmacokinetics were performed following I-124 codrituzumab. An ELISA assay was used to determine “cold” codrituzumab serum pharmacokinetics and compare it to that of I-124 codrituzumab. Correlation of imaging results was performed with IHC. Short-term safety assessment was also evaluated. Results Thirteen patients had tumor localization on baseline I-124 codrituzumab; heterogeneity in tumor uptake was noted. In three patients undergoing repeat imaging while on immunotherapy/sorafenib, evidence of decreased I-124 codrituzumab uptake was noted. All three patients who underwent imaging after progression while on immunotherapy continued to have I-124 codrituzumab tumor uptake. Pharmacokinetics of I-124 codrituzumab was similar to that of other intact IgG. No significant adverse events were observed related to the I-124 codrituzumab. Conclusions I-124 codrituzumab detected tumor localization in most patients with HCC. Pharmacokinetics was similar to that of other intact iodinated humanized IgG. No visible cross-reactivity with normal organs was observed.

Abstract
Complex molecular and metabolic phenotypes depict cancers as a constellation of different diseases with common themes. Precision imaging of such phenotypes requires flexible and tunable modalities capable of identifying phenotypic fingerprints by using a restricted number of parameters while ensuring sensitivity to dynamic biological regulation. Common phenotypes can be detected by in vivo imaging technologies, and effectively define the emerging standards for disease classification and patient stratification in radiology. However, for the imaging data to accurately represent a complex fingerprint, the individual imaging parameters need to be measured and analysed in relation to their wider spatial and molecular context. In this respect, targeted palettes of molecular imaging probes facilitate the detection of heterogeneity in oncogene-driven alterations and their response to treatment, and lead to the expansion of rational-design elements for the combination of imaging experiments. In this Review, we evaluate criteria for conducting multiplexed imaging, and discuss its opportunities for improving patient diagnosis and the monitoring of therapy.

Abstract
An improved understanding of the molecular characteristics of gliomas has led to the recognition of potential antigen targets and monoclonal antibody (mAb) therapies for these challenging tumors. The design of glioma mAbs--including species, construct, immunoglobulin isotype and conjugate--affects their delivery, efficacy and toxicities. mAbs that are under study for glioma therapy include some mAbs that are currently approved for use in the treatment of other cancers, as well as novel molecules. Although the greatest experience so far is with locally administered, radiolabeled mAbs, systemic unconjugated mAbs are being studied increasingly for glioma treatment. Previous experience with mAbs in other malignancies may provide guidance for their use in the treatment of CNS malignancies.

Abstract
Labeling of specific antibodies with bifunctional chelated Actinium-225 ((225)Ac; an alpha generator) allows the formation of new, highly potent and selective alpha-emitting anticancer drugs. We synthesized and evaluated a radioimmunoconjugate based on 3F8, an IgG(3) antibody that specifically binds to ganglioside GD2, which is overexpressed by many neuroectodermal tumors including neuroblastoma. The (225)Ac-1,4,7,10-tetra-azacylododecane (DOTA)-3F8 construct was evaluated for radiochemical purity and sterility, immunoreactivity, cytotoxicity in vitro, induction of apoptosis on GD2-positive cells, as well as for pharmacological biodistribution and metabolism of the (225)Ac generator and its daughters in a nude mouse xenograft model of neuroblastoma. The (225)Ac-3F8 showed an IC(50) of 3 Bq/ml (80 pCi/ml) on the neuroblastoma cell line, NMB7, in vitro. Apoptosis of these cells was not observed. Biodistribution in mice showed specific targeting of a subcutaneous tumor; there was redistribution of the (225)Ac daughter nuclides mainly from blood to kidneys and to small intestine. Toxicity was examined in cynomolgus monkeys. Monkeys injected with 1 to 3 doses of intrathecal (225)Ac-3F8 radioimmunoconjugate (80 to 150 kBq/kg total dose) did not show signs of toxicity based on blood chemistry, complete blood counts, or by clinical evaluations. Therapeutic efficacy of intrathecal (225)Ac-3F8 was studied in a nude rat xenograft model of meningeal carcinomatosis. The (225)Ac-3F8 treatment improved survival 2-fold from 16 to 34 days (P = 0.01). In conclusion, in vivo alpha generators targeted by 3F8 warrant additional study as a possible new approach to the treatment of carcinomatous meningitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intrathecal antibody-based targeted therapies may have clinical potential for patients with leptomeningeal (LM) cancer. PROCEDURE Five patients with GD2-positive LM tumors were injected with 1-2 mCi intra-Ommaya (131)I-3F8, a murine IgG3 antibody specific for GD2. Serial cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum samples and SPECT imagings (4, 24, and 48 hr) were performed to predict radiation doses to the tumor and normal brain and blood prior to the administration of larger therapeutic doses. RESULTS Side effects included self-limited fever, headache, and vomiting. Focal (131)I-3F8 uptake consistent with tumors was seen along the craniospinal axis in four patients. Calculated radiation dose to the CSF was 14.9-56 cGy/mCi and to blood and other organs outside the CNS less than 2 cGy/mCi. CONCLUSIONS Intraventricular (131)I-3F8 successfully detected LM disease and resulted in a large favorable CSF/blood ratio. Intraventricular (131)I-3F8 may have clinical utility in the diagnosis and radioimmunotherapy of GD2-positive LM cancers. Med. Pediatr. Oncol. 35:716-718. 2000.

Abstract
Boron-containing compounds like closo-dodecaborate(2-) are in theory suitable for radioactive labeling with halogens. The boron-halogen bond is stronger than carbon-halogen bond and is not likely to be recognized by deiodinating enzymes in vivo. Peptides and proteins may be conjugated with various closo-dodecaborate(2-)-containing ligands, and thereafter, the conjugate can be iodinated. Since closo-dodecaborate(2-) is more avidly iodinated than tyrosine in moderately acidic media, such conjugates may be directly labeled on the boron part with radioisotopes of iodine using the standard Chloramine-T procedure. Mercapto-undecahydro-closo-dodecaborate(2-) (BSH) was reacted with the double bond of allyldextran to form a boronated dextran compound of the molecular size of about 70 kDa. This compound, in the text denoted as Dx-BS, and cesium dodecahydro-closo-dodecaborate(2-) were labeled using iodine-125. The two compounds were administered to rats in order to study their in vivo stability. The results indicate that iodinated Dx-BS is stable for about 20 h in vivo. The degradation rate, as indicated by thyroid uptake, was found low. [125I]Iodo-closo-dodecaborate(2-), which is a possible degradation product of [125I]Dx-BS-I, was rapidly excreted in urine without significant accumulation in any organ.

Abstract
Tumors metastatic to the leptomeninges are often incurable despite current aggressive treatment modalities. Regional therapy by intrathecal administration of monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) can maximize their concentration to tumor sites while reducing systemic toxicities. Anti-GD2 antibody 3F8 has successfully targeted human neuroectoderm derived tumors. Disialoganglioside GD2 expression in the central nervous system is identical between humans and cynomolgus monkeys. We studied the pharmacokinetics and the acute and subacute toxicities of intraventricular 131I-3F8 in 8 cynomolgus monkeys. Four animals were purposely immunized with intravenous 3F8 administered 2-4 weeks prior to injections. All animals remained clinically stable. Toxicities included weight loss, fever and CSF leukocytosis. One animal developed a left-sided hemiparesis following his seventh injection, presumably due to a local drug accumulation in the setting of an intermittently patent catheter. The estimated radiation dose to the CSF was 19-48 Gy in the immunized monkeys and 19-82 Gy in the nonimmunized monkeys, and to blood was 0.11-0.98 Gy and 0.29-2.03 Gy, respectively. Histopathology revealed chronic reactive changes adjacent to the region of catheter placement and a focal vasculitis in 2 animals. Peripheral blood counts and bone marrow examinations remained normal. Because of the blood-brain barrier, CSF monkey-anti-mouse antibody titers were less than 10 per cent of those in the serum. In contrast to the CSF radioactivity clearance which was similar in all animals, blood clearance was substantially accelerated in 3F8-immunized animals versus controls. Correspondingly, the CSF to blood dose ratio was improved 1.3 to 6.6 fold (mean 3.5). We conclude that intraventricular administration of 131I-3F8 in primates is tolerable. It can deliver very high doses of radiation to the CSF space with minimal toxicity to blood and bone marrow. Serum anti-mouse antibody accelerates the clearance of 131I-3F8 in blood and may improve the therapeutic index.

Abstract
Despite the weak immunogenicity of gangliosides, a limited number of highly specific murine monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) were elicited. This study investigated the reactivity and the structure of the VH and V kappa genes of nine hybridomas obtained from independent fusions producing antibodies against disialogangliosides GD2 and GD3 and their O-acetylated derivatives. These antibodies depended on four types of V kappa genes. They were also encoded by VH genes of the J558 family (5 out of 9) and occasionally by VH genes of the S107, 7183, and 3609 families, rearranged with a variety of DH and JH genes. The 8B6 and 7H2 MAbs specific for GD2-O-acetylated, respectively, used the VH gene of the S107 and 7183 families. The length of H chain CDR3 ranged from 8 to 11 amino acids. A set of S107 and 3609 germline genes closed from A/J murine fetal liver and matched with the VH segment of hybridomas 8B6 and 10B8 revealed somatic mutations. Although the relative number of sequences does not preclude any formal conclusions regarding the preferential use of V genes in the immune recognition of carbohydrate structures, our results clearly indicate that MAbs directed to very similar structures as GD2 and GD3 were encoded by different VH and V kappa genes.

Abstract
At the present time, there are three radiolabeled antibodies that have been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for imaging of cancer, a fourth commercially sponsored product recommended for approval (as of 10/29/96, cap romab pendetide (ProstaScint; Cytogen Corp., Princeton, NJ) was upgraded from recommended for approval to approved), and several additional agents in FDA-monitored trials. The majority of antibodies studied to date have been whole or fragmented murine monoclonals whereas the first of the human and humanized immunoglobulins are now entering clinical trials. While no antibody has behaved as a perfect imaging agent, they have consistently been shown to contribute to diagnosis, complementing and often exceeding the diagnostic ability of conventional modalities. Many promising new trends in antibody imaging, relating to the radiolabeled immunoglobulin, its route and manner of administration, and mode of detection, are under development. Because of the requisite several-year delay inherent in the (FDA) testing process, there is a lag before the most-promising of these innovations will achieve (FDA) approval and be incorporated into routine imaging studies. In spite of this effective performance, as "new kid on the block," radioimmunoscintigraphy may have often been expected to perform in an unrealistic manner, considering the great variation in biological behavior of primary and metastatic cancer and the consequent limitation of all diagnostic tests. Nonetheless, because radioimmunoscintigraphy identifies antigens on a cellular level, differing fundamentally from anatomic imaging modalities such as computed tomography and ultrasound which identify gross morphological changes, it has potential to impact significantly on patient care. With adequate resources focused on radioimmunoscintigraphy, this technology will continue to emerge as an important and unique diagnostic tool in the care of cancer patients, with demonstrable clinical efficacy and cost effectiveness.
