Receptor tyrosine kinase-like orphan receptor 1: a novel target for cancer immunotherapy

Abstract: Considering ROR1 unique characters, it seems that it can pass most of the criteria for being an ideal target for cancer immunotherapy. ROR1 unique expression on cancer cells with subtle expression on normal tissues make it a suitable target with minimum potential side effects using different cancer therapy approaches such as mAb therapy, peptide and protein vaccination, cell therapy and small molecules.

“…Receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) pathways have key roles in the progression of various tumors (46), with aberrant epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling demonstrated to be particularly common (7); EGF family proteins have been revealed to be significantly overexpressed in >60% of tumors (8,9). The main EGF family members include EGFR [also termed human epidermal growth factor receptor 1 (HER1)], HER2 (also termed ErbB2), HER3 (also termed ErbB3) and HER4 (also termed ErbB4).…”

“…ROR1 is a type 1 transmembrane protein expressed on the plasma membrane and has an extracellular domain that is essential for ligand binding and signal transduction . Interestingly, ROR1 is selectively overexpressed in many hematologic malignancies and a number of solid tumors, while it is without significant expression in normal adult tissues . The unique expression profile of ROR1 makes it a promising candidate for novel drug targets, assuming that this expression pattern will maximize effectiveness and minimize off‐target toxicities.…”

“…A monoclonal antibody (cirmtuzumab) was developed by binding to ROR1 on tumor cells and inhibiting Wnt5a signaling, which is a pathway that is important for blocking tumor‐cell proliferation, migration, and survival . The antibody has been used in a phase I clinical trial for chronic lymphocytic leukemia …”
