Up-regulation of folate receptor (FR) type- in acute myelogenous
leukemia (AML) by all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and its restricted normal tissue distribution makes it a potential target for
therapeutic intervention. The FR- in peripheral blood granulocytes was unable to bind folate and appeared to have a variant GPI membrane anchor, evident from its insensitivity to phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C but not nitrous acid. Granulocyte FR- lacked mutations, and neither deglycosylation nor detergent solubilization restored folate binding. The posttranslational modification causing its
nonfunctionality was evidently absent in FR- from AML cells from
patient marrow, which bound folate. From flow cytometric analysis of 78 AML bone marrow specimens of different subtypes, 68% expressed FR-,
most of which were also CD34+. In model cell lines that are
FR ( ) (KG-1a, L1210, and Chinese hamster ovary [CHO]) or FR (+)
(KG-1, L1210 JF, and recombinant CHO-FR-), selective FR-mediated
binding and cytotoxicity was obtained using folate-coated liposomes
encapsulating fluorescent calcein (f-L-calcein) and doxorubicin
(f-L-DOX), respectively, which could be blocked by 1 mM free folic
acid. In the FR--expressing KG-1 human AML cells, treatment with
ATRA further increased this specificity. In mouse ascites leukemia
models generated using L1210JF or KG-1 cells, increased median survival
times were obtained with f-L-DOX treatment compared to nontargeted
L-DOX. In the KG-1 model, ATRA treatment increased the cure rate with
f-L-DOX from 10% to 60%. The above combined data from our 2 laboratories further support the feasibility and potential usefulness
of selective ATRA-facilitated liposomal drug delivery in FR- (+) AMLs.
