Shiga-Like Toxin-1 Receptor on Human Breast Cancer, Lymphoma, and Myeloma and Absence From CD34+ Hematopoietic Stem Cells: Implications for Ex Vivo Tumor Purging and Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation

E.C. LaCasse, M.R. Bray, B. Patterson, W.-M. Lim, S. Perampalam, L. G. Radvanyi, A. Keating, A.K. Stewart, R. Buckstein, J.S. Sandhu, N. Miller, D. Banerjee, D. Singh, A.R. Belch, L.M. Pilarski, and J. Gariépy

From the Department of Medical Biophysics, University of Toronto and the Ontario Cancer Institute, Toronto, Ontario, Canada; the Department of Oncologic Pathology, Princess Margaret Hospital, Toronto, Ontario, Canada; the Autologous Blood and Marrow Transplantation Program, University of Toronto and the Toronto Hospital, Toronto, Ontario, Canada; the Samuel Lunenfeld Research Institute, Mount Sinai Hospital (Toronto) and the Department of Pathology, Women's College Hospital, Toronto, Ontario, Canada; and the Department of Oncology, University of Alberta and the Cross Cancer Institute, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

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.
