Description

Biomarkers for predicting sensitivity of rectal cancer to AN0025 combined radiation therapy/chemoradiotherapy (RT/CRT) treatment
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of biology, and relates to a series of biomarkers which can be used for predicting the sensitivity of a rectal cancer patient to AN0025 combined radiotherapy/radiotherapy and chemotherapy (RT/CRT) treatment.
Background
Rectal cancer is one of the common malignant tumors of middle-aged and elderly people, and is well developed over 50 years old. With the change of eating habits and structures of people and the aging of population, the incidence rate of the people is on the rising trend. The main treatment modes of the rectal cancer include targeted therapy, gene therapy, traditional Chinese medicine therapy, immunotherapy and the like besides surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. At present, surgical operation is still the first treatment and is the only means for radically treating rectal cancer. However, some patients cannot be treated by surgery, and some patients cannot be treated by repeated surgery, and for such patients, radiotherapy or radiotherapy and chemotherapy are main treatment methods, so as to improve survival rate and quality of life of the patients.
AN0025 is a highly selective, highly active antagonist of prostaglandin E2 (PGE 2) receptor 4 (EP 4) developed by Arnozaku medicine, which inhibits PGE2-EP4 mediated signaling pathways. Myeloid cells are the leading immune cells for tumor infiltration, and mainly include tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), which differentiate from immature monocytes. EP4 is 1 of 4 PGE2 receptors, expressed on myeloid cells, and plays a key role in promoting monocyte differentiation into TAM and MDSC in tumor microenvironment.
In cancer, the signal pathway composed of prostaglandin E2 (PGE 2) and its subtype 4 receptor (EP 4) can not only promote the occurrence of cancer, but also form a cancer microenvironment that promotes cancer progression and immunosuppression. cAMP generated by activation of PGE2/EP4 signaling pathway in T cells can activate cAMP-PKA signaling pathway, which can effectively inhibit the function of T cells. The PGE2/EP4 signaling pathway also negatively regulates DC maturation, inducing the formation of various immunosuppressive cells including M2 macrophages and myeloid suppressors (MDSCs)S et al.Front Immunol.2019;10:475)。
The compound of formula (I) (AN 0025) and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof are highly selective small molecule inhibitors of the E-type prostaglandin receptor 4. In preclinical studies, AN0025 was able to effectively reduce immunosuppressive cells in the tumor microenvironment by inhibiting PGE2/EP4 signaling pathways. AN0025 has been applied to a number of clinical strategies. In phase FIH (first in human) I clinical trials against a variety of advanced solid tumors, AN0025 has shown some single drug efficacy; in addition, AN0025 and radiotherapy and chemotherapy combined in the novel adjuvant therapy of rectal cancer show strong clinical efficacy (Wyrwicz et al, poster #540, ESMO2019).
Clinically, patients with rectal cancer have larger difference in sensitivity to AN0025 combined radiotherapy/radiotherapy and chemotherapy (RT/CRT) treatment. There is therefore a need to find one or several biomarkers in plasma and tissue samples that can predict the sensitivity of a patient to treatment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENT (S) OF INVENTION
Example 1: blood tumor markers
Materials and methods
Materials: blood samples were obtained from a multicenter clinical trial performed in the united states under the test accession number clinical trimals. Gov ID: NCT03152370.
Sample collection:
whole blood samples, blood for mRNA analysis and PD plasma samples were collected as follows: baseline, week 3 (day 15, before initiation of radiation therapy), week 3 (day 19, end of radiation therapy), week 5 (day 29, beginning of chemotherapy/mid-AN 0025 treatment), week 7 (mid-43 chemotherapy), week 10 (day 70, end of AN0025 treatment) and weeks 14-16 (pre-operative).
The experimental method comprises the following steps:
the ELISA method is adopted:
first antigen coating
1. An antigen solution of appropriate concentration is prepared using carbonate-bicarbonate buffer or PBS.
2. 0.2ml of the above solution was added to each well of the microtiter plate.
Incubate for 30 min at 3.37℃or overnight (complete coverage is required) at 4 ℃.
4. The coating was removed and washed three times with PBS-T.
Second primary anti-reaction
1. Monoclonal primary antibodies were diluted with PBS-T. The optimal concentration should be determined using titration.
2. 0.2ml of diluted monoclonal antibody was added to each well. The negative control should be a species diluted in PBS-T and isotype matched nonspecific immunoglobulin.
3. Incubate at room temperature for 2 hours.
4. The washing step is the same as the antigen coating step 4.
Final secondary antibody binding
1. The enzyme-bound secondary antibody was diluted with PBS-T. 0.2ml of the solution was added to each well. The optimal concentration should be determined using titration.
2. Incubate at room temperature for 2 hours.
3. The washing step is the same as the antigen coating step 4.
Calculation/evaluation method:
the patient group with optimal curative effect and the patient group with poor curative effect are compared by adopting statistical analysis, and whether the expression of the specific biomarker is different or not is judged. A total of 45 different kinds of biomarkers were detected, including: BDNF, EGF, CCL11 (Eotaxin), FGF-2, GM-CSF, GRO alpha (CXCL 1), HGF, IFN alpha, IFN gamma, IL-1alpha, IL-1beta, IL-1RA, IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-7, IL-8 (CXCL 8), IL-9, IL-10, IL-12p70, IL-13, IL-15, IL-17A (CTLA-8), IL-18, IL-21, IL-22, IL-23, IL-27A, IL-31, IP-10 (CXCL 10), LIF, MCP-1 (CCL 2), MIP-1alpha (CCL 3), MIP-1beta (CCL 4), NGF beta, PDGF-BB, plGF-1, TES (CCL 5), SCF, SDF-1alpha,TNF alpha,TNF beta,VEGF-A, VEGF-D.
Experimental results
Finally, in blood samples, we found that the following 11 biomarkers differ (to a statistically significant level of 0.10) between the best efficacy patient group (complete pathologic relief or complete clinical relief) and the poorly efficacy patient group (not seen complete relief), which can be predictive of patient sensitivity to therapy: IL-1alpha, IL-4, IL-18, IL-27a, EGF, HGF, VEGF-D, SCF, IFN-gama, CCL2, CCL-11.
The test results are shown in figure 1, where the 11 biomarker levels in serum of patients with complete pathological remission (pCR) or complete clinical remission (cCR) were statistically significantly lower than those of the group of patients without complete remission (non-CR). Among these 11 biomarker detection values were significantly lower in both pCR and cCR patients than in patients that did not achieve complete remission (non-CR). It was therefore suggested that these 11 biomarkers could be used to predict whether a patient could obtain pCR/cCR.
Example 2: tissue tumor markers
Materials and methods
Materials: tissue samples were obtained from a multicenter clinical trial performed in the united states under the test accession number clinical trials. Gov ID: NCT03152370.
Sample collection:
the subjects will take samples from tumor biopsies as follows: 1) Pretreatment (screening or baseline). The tumor material available for archiving may be submitted as a pretreatment biopsy provided that the local pathology review defined in the laboratory manual meets minimum requirements. If the archived tumor material is not available or meets minimum requirements, a new tumor biopsy must be performed according to local institutional practices; 2) Pre-radiotherapy (week 2 [ days 10-14 ]); 3) End of treatment (optional week 10 +/-2); 4) During surgery (weeks 14-16).
The experimental method comprises the following steps:
the ELISA method is adopted:
first antigen coating
1. An antigen solution of appropriate concentration is prepared using carbonate-bicarbonate buffer or PBS.
2. 0.2ml of the above solution was added to each well of the microtiter plate.
Incubate for 30 min at 3.37℃or overnight (complete coverage is required) at 4 ℃.
4. The coating was removed and washed three times with PBS-T.
Second primary anti-reaction
1. Monoclonal primary antibodies were diluted with PBS-T. The optimal concentration should be determined using titration.
2. 0.2ml of diluted monoclonal antibody was added to each well. The negative control should be a species diluted in PBS-T and isotype matched nonspecific immunoglobulin.
3. Incubate at room temperature for 2 hours.
4. The washing step is the same as the antigen coating step 4.
Final secondary antibody binding
1. The enzyme-bound secondary antibody was diluted with PBS-T. 0.2ml of the solution was added to each well. The optimal concentration should be determined using titration.
2. Incubate at room temperature for 2 hours.
3. The washing step is the same as the antigen coating step 4.
Calculation/evaluation method:
the patient group with optimal curative effect and the patient group without curative effect are compared by adopting statistical analysis, and whether the expression of the specific biomarker is different or not is judged. A total of 6 different combinations of different kinds of biomarkers were detected, including: CD163, CD3, CD4, CD8, PD-1, PD-L1.
Experimental results
Finally, in tissue samples, we found that the following 3 biomarker combinations differed (reaching a statistically significant level of 0.10) between the best efficacy patient group (complete pathologic relief or complete clinical relief) and the poorly efficacy patient group (not seen complete relief), which could be predictive of patient sensitivity to therapy: CD8, CD3& CD8& PD-1. Wherein "CD8" indicates positive for CD8 detection, "CD3& CD8" indicates positive for both CD3 and CD8 detection, and "CD3& CD8& PD-1" indicates positive for all of CD3, CD8 and PD-1 detection.
The test results are shown in FIG. 2: the combination of these 3 types of biomarkers in tumor tissue of patients with complete pathological remission (pCR) or complete clinical remission (cCR) was statistically significantly higher than in the group of patients without complete remission (non-CR). Wherein, the patients with positive detection of CD8, the patients with positive detection of CD3 and CD8 combination and the patients with positive detection of CD3, CD8 and PD-1 can obtain better curative effect in treatment. This also suggests that 3 combinations of CD8, CD3& CD8& PD-1 may be used to predict the efficacy of a patient population.
In practical applications, one or more of the blood biomarkers as depicted in fig. 1 and one or more of the tumor tissue biomarkers as depicted in fig. 2 of a patient with rectal cancer may be selected in combination to further increase the accuracy of predicting the sensitivity of the patient with rectal cancer to AN0025 combined radiation/chemo-radiotherapy (RT/CRT) treatment.
