The ribosome-inactivating protein, Shiga-like toxin-1 (SLT-1),
targets cells that express the glycolipid globotriaosylceramide (CD77) on their surface. CD77 and/or SLT-1 binding was detected by flow
cytometry and immunocytochemistry on lymphoma and breast cancer cells
recovered from biopsies of primary human cancers as well as on B cells
or plasma cells present in blood/bone marrow samples of multiple
myeloma patients. Breast cancer cell lines also expressed receptors for
the toxin and were sensitive to SLT-1. Treatment of primary B lymphoma,
B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and myeloma B or
plasma cells with SLT-1-depleted malignant B cells by 3- to 28-fold,
as measured by flow cytometry. Depletion of myeloma plasma cells was
confirmed using a cellular limiting dilution assay followed by reverse
transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction analysis of
clonotypic IgH transcripts, which showed a greater than 3 log reduction
in clonotypic myeloma cells after SLT-1 treatment. Receptors for the
toxin were not detected on human CD34+ hematopoietic
progenitor cells (HPC). HPC were pretreated with a concentration of
SLT-1 known to purge primary malignant B cells and cultured for 6 days.
The number of HPC was comparable in toxin-treated and untreated
cultures. HPC were functionally intact as well. Colony-forming units
(CFU) were present at an identical frequency in untreated and SLT-1
pretreated cultures, confirming that CFU escape SLT-1 toxicity. The
results suggest the ex vivo use of SLT-1 in purging SLT-1
receptor-expressing malignant cells from autologous stem cell grafts of
breast cancer, lymphoma, and myeloma patients.
