Antibody-Mediated Blockade of Integrin αvβ6 Inhibits Tumor Progression In vivo by a Transforming Growth Factor-β–Regulated Mechanism
Abstract
The αvβ6 integrin is up-regulated on epithelial malignancies and has been implicated in various aspects of cancer progression. Immunohistochemical analysis of αvβ6 expression in 10 human tumor types showed increased expression relative to normal tissues. Squamous carcinomas of the cervix, skin, esophagus, and head and neck exhibited the highest frequency of expression, with positive immunostaining in 92% (n = 46), 84% (n = 49), 68% (n = 56), and 64% (n = 100) of cases, respectively. We studied the role of αvβ6 in Detroit 562 human pharyngeal carcinoma cells in vitro and in vivo. Prominent αvβ6 expression was detected on tumor xenografts at the tumor-stroma interface resembling the expression on human head and neck carcinomas. Nonetheless, coculturing cells in vitro with matrix proteins did not up-regulate αvβ6 expression. Detroit 562 cells showed αvβ6-dependent adhesion and activation of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) that was inhibited >90% with an αvβ6 blocking antibody, 6.3G9. Although both recombinant soluble TGF-β receptor type-II (rsTGF-βRII-Fc) and 6.3G9 inhibited TGF-β–mediated Smad2/3 phosphorylation in vitro, there was no effect on proliferation. Conversely, in vivo, 6.3G9 and rsTGF-βRII-Fc inhibited xenograft tumor growth by 50% (n = 10, P < 0.05) and >90% (n = 10, P < 0.001), respectively, suggesting a role for the microenvironment in this response. However, stromal collagen and smooth muscle actin content in xenograft sections were unchanged with treatments. Although further studies are required to consolidate in vitro and in vivo results and define the mechanisms of tumor inhibition by αvβ6 antibodies, our findings support a role for αvβ6 in human cancer and underscore the therapeutic potential of function blocking αvβ6 antibodies.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
