Selective targeting of oncogenic hotspot mutations of the HER2 extracellular domain
Oncogenic mutations in the extracellular domain (ECD) of cell-surface receptors could serve as tumor-specific antigens that are accessible to antibody therapeutics. Such mutations have been identified in receptor tyrosine kinases including HER2. However, it is challenging to selectively target a point mutant, while sparing the wild-type protein. Here we developed antibodies selective to HER2 S310F and S310Y, the two most common oncogenic mutations in the HER2 ECD, via combinatorial library screening and structure-guided design. Cryogenic-electron microscopy structures of the HER2 S310F homodimer and an antibody bound to HER2 S310F revealed that these antibodies recognize the mutations in a manner that mimics the dimerization arm of HER2 and thus inhibit HER2 dimerization. These antibodies as T cell engagers selectively killed a HER2 S310F-driven cancer cell line in vitro, and in vivo as a xenograft. These results validate HER2 ECD mutations as actionable therapeutic targets and offer promising candidates toward clinical development.
期刊介绍:
Nature Chemical Biology stands as an esteemed international monthly journal, offering a prominent platform for the chemical biology community to showcase top-tier original research and commentary. Operating at the crossroads of chemistry, biology, and related disciplines, chemical biology utilizes scientific ideas and approaches to comprehend and manipulate biological systems with molecular precision.
The journal embraces contributions from the growing community of chemical biologists, encompassing insights from chemists applying principles and tools to biological inquiries and biologists striving to comprehend and control molecular-level biological processes. We prioritize studies unveiling significant conceptual or practical advancements in areas where chemistry and biology intersect, emphasizing basic research, especially those reporting novel chemical or biological tools and offering profound molecular-level insights into underlying biological mechanisms.
Nature Chemical Biology also welcomes manuscripts describing applied molecular studies at the chemistry-biology interface due to the broad utility of chemical biology approaches in manipulating or engineering biological systems. Irrespective of scientific focus, we actively seek submissions that creatively blend chemistry and biology, particularly those providing substantial conceptual or methodological breakthroughs with the potential to open innovative research avenues. The journal maintains a robust and impartial review process, emphasizing thorough chemical and biological characterization.
