Monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) that selectively identify Muc-1 core
protein (MoAbs DF3-P, VU-4H5) determinants were used to identify the
Muc-1 glycoform present on 7 multiple myeloma (MM) cell lines, 5 MM
patient plasma cells, 12 MM patient B cells, as well as 32 non-MM cell
lines and normal hematopoietic cells. Flow cytometry studies
demonstrated that all MM cell lines, MM patient plasma cells, and MM
patient B cells expressed Muc-1 core protein epitopes. Circulating B
cells from 4 normal donors also expressed Muc-1 core protein. In
contrast, Muc-1 core protein was absent on 28 of 32 non-MM neoplastic
cell lines, 17 of which expressed Muc-1. Splenic and tonsillar B cells,
CD34+ stem cells, resting T cells, and bone marrow plasma
cells obtained from normal donors both lacked Muc-1 glycoforms. We next
studied the effects of estrogen, progesterone, and glucocorticoid
receptor agonists and antagonists on Muc-1 expression, because
consensus sequences for the response elements of these steroids are
present on the Muc-1 gene promoter. These studies showed that
dexamethasone (Dex) induced Muc-1 expression on MM cell lines, as
determined by both flow cytometry and Western blot analyses. Dex also
induced upregulation of Muc-1 on prostate and ovarian cancer cell
lines. Time and dose-response studies demonstrated that Dex induced
maximal cell surface Muc-1 expression by 24 hours at concentrations of 10 8 mol/L. Dex induced Muc-1 upregulation could be
blocked with a 10-fold excess of the glucocorticoid receptor antagonist
RU486, confirming that Dex was acting via the glucocorticoid receptor. No changes in Muc-1 expression were observed on MM cells treated with
estrogen and progesterone receptor agonists and antagonists or with
RU486. These studies provide the framework for targeting Muc-1 core
protein in vaccination and serotherapy trials in MM. In addition, the
finding that Muc-1 expression on MM cells can be augmented by Dex at
pharmacologically achievable levels suggests their potential utility in
enhancing treatments targeting Muc-1 in MM.
