Development of Therapeutic Anti-JAGGED1 Antibodies for Cancer Therapy

Abstract: The role of Notch signaling and its ligand JAGGED1 (JAG1) in tumor biology has been firmly established, making them appealing therapeutic targets for cancer treatment. Here, we report the development and characterization of human/ rat-specific JAG1-neutralizing mAbs. Epitope mapping identified their binding to the Notch receptor interaction site within the JAG1 Delta/Serrate/Lag2 domain, where E228D substitution prevented effective binding to the murine Jag1 ortholog. These antibodies were able to specifically… Show more

“…In animal studies, targeting of individual Notch receptors and/or ligands with mAbs exhibit reduced on-target intestinal toxicity compared to that seen following GSI treatment (109,110). For example, use of a murine JAG1-targeting IgG1 mAb in a rat breast cancer xenograft model did not cause toxicity or any effects on body weight (111). Moreover, transient blockade of DLL1 and DLL4 with IgG1 mAbs in the peritransplant period provided durable protection against GVHD after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation without inducing limiting toxicity (109).…”

“…Over the last decade, Abs have become an important component in the arsenal of cancer therapeutics [42]. Antibodies targeting individual Notch receptors and ligands (i.e., JAG1, DLL4) have been developed, showing anti-tumor efficacy against different types of cancers in preclinical studies, with manageable toxicity profiles [41,[43][44][45][46][47][48]. The ER + BC is the most common BC subtype and is treated with anti-estrogenic drugs such as tamoxifen and fulvestrant, presenting a good prognosis.…”

“…The anti-DLL4 antibody demcizumab in combination with paclitaxel showed some signs of clinical benefit (CBR 42% expressed as PR and SD) and acceptably manageable toxicity in patients with recurrent platinum-resistant ovarian cancer in a phase Ib trial. Interestingly, two cases of PR and two cases of SD were registered in the sub-group of bevacizumab-pretreated patients (n = 5), providing an encouraging possibility of sequential use of the antiangiogenic drugs (NCT01952249) [221].…”

“…Indeed, targeting Jagged1 may circumvent drugassociated toxicity and prevent bone metastasis. Additionally, the effects of anti-Jagged1 on tumor vasculature might provide a promising curative alternative for patients refractory to VEGF inhibitor bevacizumab [221]. DLL4 represents an attractive target for cancer therapy since the blockade of DLL4/Notch signaling has been shown to cause non-productive tumor angiogenesis, to reduce the growth of VEGF-sensitive and resistant tumors, and to affect the CSC pool [221][222][223].…”
